Music and Gymnastic harmonization under the viewpoint of the platonic meaning of life

The essence of life according to Plato is summed up in the tendency of every living being to protect itself and its species from death, by searching immortality. This pursuit is achieved either by reproduction or by intellectual creation. In order for the soul to conquer the existence which will be worthy of man, it must separate from the mortal body. The highest goal of philosophical education is the soul to be led to the view of the idea of the good (agatho), which is the foundation of all knowledge. Thereunto, specific courses are proposed, Music, Gymnastics, Mathematics and Dialectics. Music is preceded temporal and absolute by gymnastics. The school of Pythagoras was the first to put the music-soul relationship, in the service of upbringing and mental physique. Plato attempts to establish man's tendency for rhythm and movement in nature and in the gods. At the same time, he emphasizes the balance between mental and physical education, in order to form the right ethos. For the best fulfillment of these terms, the two superior parts of the soul must be properly trained, the logical with music and the thymoides with gymnastics. The symmetrical movement of the body is ensured by exercise, while for the soul, music and philosophy are used. This targeted intervention will lead them to a harmonious connection. Moreover, it should be ensured that the movements are symmetrical with each other. This is the real goodness (kalokagathia). The unilateral cultivation of gymnastics at the expense of music is considered the main cause of the decline of the excellent republic and the decadence in oligarchy, in the regimein which the morality is imposed by violent, uneducated people who will have neglected the real Muse, the one who is accompanied by the logic and philosophy.

حقوق الملكية الفكرية للفنون ( مقترح قطاع الفنون فى المملكة العربية السعودية) Intellectual property rights for the arts (Proposal of art sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)

Intellectual property in its simplest connotations according to the World Intellectual Property Organization: WIPO refers to all the creations of the mind, including inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, logos, names and pictures used in commerce (WIPO, Publication No. 450 (E),What is Intellectual Property? Www.wipo.int) we currently live in an accelerating world at technological, cultural and technical levels. there is a huge amount of science and knowledge, innovations, and ideas that have been explored, and invested in various fields, so that we can say today that we are facing the era of the art intellectual revolution.It is evident to human beings that the global struggle now is a race towards Progress , Therefore it can be said that determining the power of the state has become dependent on the amount of intellectual rights it possesses. The difference in the ownership of these rights between countries results in a wide variation in the degree of production, its quality, the level of national income, alongside the standard of living of the individual. It is also a concern that the voice of the state in international art forums becomes more and more louder the more it possesses these rights.Since the field of intellectual property protection is necessarily based on preserving all kinds of intellectual creativity and its various fields, it is related in the first place to two aspects that are the basis in this framework, one of which is the institutional aspect and the other is the art organizational aspect. The international and legislative references that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia joined. It is also concerned with protecting intellectual property rights in the second section, focusing on the arts sector in Saudi legislation

Direito de autor: da (im)possibilidade de impedir que criminosos lucrem com obras literárias sobre seus crimes

Intellectual creation is widely protected by national and international diplomas. This paper questions the (im)possibility of preventing criminals from profiting from the publicity of their crimes. This discussion involves collisions of rights. The research’s methodological focus is on the analysis of national and international diplomas available on the subject. Solid arguments are sought in order to reconcile the public interest and the freedom of expression of the author with personality and patrimonial rights over his or her work. For this, the present study uses the dialectic method and the monographic procedure, which consists of the analysis of the norms, of the doctrine related to the topic, as well as national and foreign jurisprudence. The conclusion is that restricting the author’s patrimonial right does not promote convincing public interest, according to the Brazilian legal system.

Moral Bars to Intellectual Property: Theory & Apologetics

Various intellectual creations are raising complex moral issues in intellectual property law.  Videos of mass shootings made by perpetrators, statues of the Confederacy displayed openly, torture techniques used on criminal detainees, and devices for consuming illegal drugs are only a few examples.  These expressive and inventive works pose the question of whether their apparent immoral nature should preclude intellectual property protection.  Although courts and scholars have long debated moral values in intellectual property doctrines, the literature is largely silent on the effect of intellectual property theory.  The question thus arises: Do the utilitarian, labor-desert, and autonomy theories of intellectual property imply that morality is relevant to whether a work should receive patent or copyright protection?  This is a critical question left unanswered by the scholarship and jurisprudence dealing with intellectual property and morality.  This Article considers the question. This Article posits that each theory of intellectual property suggests that moral values should inform whether intellectual works receive protection.  The Article then contemplates likely objections, responding to arguments that academics have raised against the position that moral values should define intellectual property.  Specifically, it responds to the argument that denying protection in some instances may increase the output of an immoral work, that laws in areas other than intellectual property should address moral problems, and that the government should not interfere with the laissez-faire approach of letting the public decide the moral worth of an intellectual creation.  The Article concludes that, within constitutional limitations, certain moral values may serve as reasons to deny intellectual property protection.

Copyright protection for computer programs

Zerov K. Copyright protection for computer programs. The article discusses the main approaches to the legal protection of software, particularly computer programs, in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine and foreign practices. It is concluded that copyright allows to adequately protect the forms of expression of a computer program: object and source codes of the program. It is noted that a computer program shall be protected if it is original in the sense that it is the author's own intellectual creation, and no other criteria shall be applied to determine its eligibility for protection in Ukraine. Like any other copyright object, a computer program has «legally indifferent» and «legally significant» elements of the form of expression. The legally indifferent elements of a computer program should include a) elements dictated by the efficiency of a computer program; (b) elements that are dictated by external factors; and (c) elements that the original programmer had taken from the public domain. The main approaches to the use (copying) of the source or object code of computer programs as part of other computer programs are given: «literal copying» and «non-literal copying.» It is concluded that «non-literal copying» of a computer program cannot violate the copyright law in Ukraine since the ideas and principles on which any element of a computer program is based are not protected by copyright. It is assumed that the modification of a computer program by eliminating technical means of protection and further use of computer program gives grounds to qualify such actions as two separate types of copyright infringement: infringement of the copyright holder's property rights and deliberately circumventing technical means of copyright protection. It is noted that in some scenarios, theuse of works under the limitation of copyright without circumvention of technical means may be impossible. The proposal to legislatively provide for the possibility of a person who has the right to freely use work to contact the copyright holder with a request to remove technical means solely for such use, as well as cases of permissible circumvention of technical means, has been made.Keywords: computer program, copyright, literal copying, non-literal copying

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN DISTANT EDUCATION AS A FACTOR OF SUBJECT ACTIVITY DEVELOPMENT

Work's purpose is an opening of information technologies role in distant education for development of subject activity. As a result of research the role of information technologies in distant education for development of subject activity is exposed. It is rotined psychological phenomenon of subject activity is determined as a measure of purposefulness display of individual acivity which is aimed at transformation of external (objective) or/and internal (subjective) reality. In a copula with forming of independence, criticism of perception, intention and abilities for permanent self-training, activity and initiativeness, information educational technologies are connected for condition forming, in which high-efficiency thought and subject activity are formed. Learner is perceived not as passive object of learning, but as an active subject which internalizes knowledge in the process of his/her activity, carries out subject activity, puts and achieves educational goals. Setting of learning aims of students from teacher's side is replaced by their own educational aims determination, construction of individual trajectories and rates of education, depending on own personality features, necessities, advantages and persuasions. Thus, information technologies become not instruments of teachers influence on students for translation of «prepared knowledges», but instruments of opening of their own subject activity, independent intellectual creation, thought. Distant learning and education, foremost in the context of virtual educational environments functioning, are factors of subject activity development of educational process participants. Among technologies assist this development, distant educational courses, internet trainings, webinars, video conferences, on-line discussions in the format of chats and groups in social networks etc. are especially selected.

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY AS AN OBJECT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The article deals with the study of scientific activity as an object of public administration. Attention is paid to the retrospective of legal regulation: 1) the subject of the central executive body, which competence includes the sphere of scientific activity and / or the sphere of science; 2) the sphere of scientific activity and / or the sphere of science as objects of legal regulation. It was found that the concept of «field of science» is not defined at the legislative level in Ukraine, and in the case of mentioning this concept in previous editions of relevant legislation, it was meaningfully about scientific activity. It is substantiated the thesis, that regardless of how the central body of executive power, which subject is scientific activity, was named, the qualitative and meaningful content of its competence in the field of science cannot be detailed solely through the provisions of scientific activity. It is determined that the sphere of science and the sphere of scientific activity are interconnected; the concept of «scientific activity» a priori reflects the procedural aspect, as a kind of social activity; the content of public administration in the field of science should relate to the choice of meaningful research guidelines, priorities for scientific research and compliance with globalization, and public administration in the field of science – to ensure proper ordering and creating conditions for intellectual creativity aimed at gaining new knowledge and (or) search for ways to apply them. It is established that scientific activity as an object of public administration is an integral formation, which structurally consists of such elements as: a) social relations with regards to scientific activities (for example, determining the order of functioning of scientific institutions); b) public relations with regards to the creation of conditions for improving the effectiveness of scientific research and the use of their results to ensure the development of all spheres of public life (for example, protection of intellectual property rights to scientific results); c) public relations with regards to the creation of conditions for conducting scientific activities (for example, ensuring the status of subjects of scientific activity).

The Eventful Character of Bibikhin's Philosophical Thought

The article deals with the event-related aspects of V.V. Bibikhin's philosophical activities on the material of his lectures, texts and communication with contemporaries (S.S. Horuzhy, S.S. Averintsev and A.V. Akhutin). The eventfulness of the transfer of knowledge from teacher to student, as well as the unity of thought, word and life are the principles of teaching philosophy derived from the pedagogical experience of V.V. Bibikhin. He was a follower of A.F. Losev and M. Heidegger focusing his thoughts on clarifying ontological problems. Ontological thought is paradoxical in its own nature. This is revealed in the reading and interpretation of Bibikhin's writings, as well as in the evidence of his polemical communication with colleagues. One of the brightest ontological disputes of recent times is the discussion of V.V. Bibikhin and S.S. Horuzhy about the concept of energy which is an essential ontological category. These prominent Russian thinkers had a long-term friendship that included an element of intellectual rivalry. The author calls such communication “friendship in struggle” which has a paradoxical character. The philosophical definition of friendship presented in the book “The Pillar and Statement of Truth” by P.A. Florensky which has an antinomic character is used in the text. The paradoxical event and the polemic nature of V.V. Bibikhin's thought manifests itself in his works and correspondence with friends. The article provides illustrative examples of these moments of his intellectual creativity. V.V. Bibikhin is one of those thinkers who preserve the Russian philosophical tradition in the context of its disputes with other national traditions.

Включенность перфекционистов в социально-трудовые отношения при разных стилях управления персоналом

Research into personal qualities of employees is acquiring relevance in the modern society as physical and material means and instruments of production are gradually being excluded from immediate interaction with people; their place is being taken by robotic technologies; whereas human labour is turning into intellectual creativity. Perfectionism is one of personal construct characteristics, which allows them to achieve high goals, overcoming different obstacles. The aim of the work was to consider the involvement of employees, characterized by perfectionistic personal construct, in social and labour relations under the authoritarian, democratic and liberal management styles. Perfectionists known for their struggle for high achievements are inclined to work individually and characterized by a low level of socialization. Under the authoritarian style, managers usually diminish individual achievements, focusing on the importance of goals and objectives rather than personality types of employees; therefore, perfectionists risk turning into reserved unsocial individuals. The democratic and liberal personnel management styles give the possibility to integrate perfectionists in teamwork, to activate their positive personal qualities and, in this way, enable them to meaningfully socialize. The democratic and liberal management styles provide conditions for successful combination of personal perfectionist interests and socially relevant objectives. In the age of information-oriented society, targeted at intensive intellectual development, contribution of perfectionists is indispensable; however, it is necessary to facilitate their social integration underlying inseparability of their individual goals and socially significant objectives.

Development of data science education curriculum to foster intellectual information creativity

Technology has certainly played a role in our ability to collect and store mountains of data on everything from traffic patterns, shopping habits and health outcomes. And, advances in algorithms and computing power have allowed us to analyse this data more quickly. But data is only as useful as the questions being asked and analysed. For this reason, researchers at Aichi University of Education in Japan are working to revamp the way data analysis and statistics are taught to students. Their goal is to provide students with a better understanding of the power of data and statistical analyses and go beyond simply calculating stats and returning the correct answers on exams.<br/> Professor Kazuhiro Aoyama is working with colleagues, including Professor Yoshinori Fujii of University of Miyazaki and Professor Yuichi Oguchi of Ibaraki University, to develop a new educational curriculum for data analysis and statistics and test it in classrooms all over Japan.<br/> The goal of the new curriculum being tested in classrooms revolves around a concept called intellectual information creativity. This concept reflects a student's ability to use their imagination when confronted with a dataset in order to make sense of and interpret the characteristics of the data. In an era when data processing can be done quickly with software, it is necessary for human beings to find meaning from data and education should teach students to engage in activities to discover new information.
