성인여성의 학습공간 경험에 관한 질적 사례연구

Objectives This study attempts to understand the experiences of participants in learning spaces based on Lefebvre's perspective, which claims that space is produced, focusing on the problem of autonomous resistance against the homogenization of social space. The research questions are: Firstly, what is the meaning of the learning spaces experienced by the participants? Secondly, what social significance and impact do the participants' experiences in learning spaces have? Thirdly, what are the lifelong educational implications of participants' experiences in learning spaces? Methods The study participants consisted of three individuals living in the same area as the researcher and three participants from programs at the institution where the researcher works. The study was conducted from October 2022 to August 2023. To prevent any bias that might arise from the researcher's prior understanding of the participants, the researcher sought the review of a doctoral expert in lifelong education and a field specialist during the data analysis and interpretation process. Results The research findings are as follows: Firstly, participants were able to experience the joy of learning by having learning opportunities they had postponed in the learning space. Secondly, through their participation in the learning space, participants encouraged learning among local residents, contributing to the roots of social change. Thirdly, the learning space provided vitality through interaction with other participants and offered the potential for lifelong learning through continuous experiences. Conclusions It was revealed that the learning space created through the expansion of lifelong learning was reborn as another learning space through interaction with other people. Through this, learning takes place not only in specific spaces but also in everyday life, and learning spaces have the potential to have a positive impact on individuals and the community.

Nietzsche’s Intellectual Integrity and Metaphysical Comfort

This paper examines Nietzsche’s intellectual integrity, with a view to showing that despite his attempt to overcome metaphysics, using this concept, Nietzsche remains within the comfort of metaphysics. Intellectual integrity represents Nietzsche’s unique style of questioning and his critical method of analysing Western metaphysical foundations. It is a flexible and dialectic principle, which approaches the question of ‘being’ as a dynamic process of endless interpretations and becoming, instead of as a fixed essence or a metaphysical absolute. Attempts are made, in the paper, to examine the dynamics of Nietzsche’s intellectual integrity, as well as its intimate link with other key concepts in his philosophy. To achieve its goal, the paper adopts the method of historical hermeneutics and textual analysis.

Space Behind Abstraction: The Metamorphosis of Shape

Purpose: to demonstrate the relation among various architectural contents, whose synthesis is materialized in thedesign of the architectural space. Method: to develop, in the context of the curricular unity of Drawing, of the Architecture Program, the conception of an architectural space, through an exploratory exercise, using the abstraction of a spot as a starting point, in order to achieve, by its metamorphosis, different kind of spaces, which reflect its main characteristics. The process isexperimental, from the analysis and interpretation of the intrinsic qualities of the spot, to the conception of a threedimensional spatial model. Results and conclusion: the perception that the formulation of space, in architecture, is a synthesis of severalknowledges. This exercise shows, taking as a starting point something so abstract as a spot, one can, through anexperimental process of interpretation, obtain architectural space.

On the Methodology of Analysing Aerial and Satellite Images to Detect Archaeological Sites

Today, the use of remote sensing methods is an integral part of archaeological research. The use of various types of aerial and satellite photography at the level of micro-regions makes it possible to collect data on large areas in a short time. The received data are subject to archaeological deciphering – the process of recognition, detection and interpretation of archaeological information based on photographic images of the Earth’s surface. In the course of deciphering pictures, photographic images of objects are analysed, which have a number of decipherable features, that is, characteristic ones by which archaeological objects can be recognised. Modern processing and recording of these data is carried out in geoinformation systems, taking into account their spatial reference. The analysis of domestic publications showed that this direction is promising for future research in Ukrainian archaeology. However, the researchers do not provide a general, clear methodology for working with aerial photography materials and features of archaeological deciphering. Summarising this information prompts the creation of a consistent description of such work. This description is intended to formalise those research operations, which in one way or another were performed by the above-mentioned authors. The paper is an attempt to create a methodology for the archaeological deciphering of aerial and satellite photos for the remote study of archaeological monuments and the protection of archaeological heritage. It is intended to summarise the previous experience of publishing the methodology of working with remote sensing of the land in the archaeology of Ukraine and to structure it on the basis of our own developments. The proposed scheme is not final or mandatory, but only offers one of the options for the approach to thematic deciphering in archaeology. Undoubtedly, the given algorithm of actions will require improvement and expansion as a result of the accumulation of practical experience and theoretical achievements. It is important to emphasise that this branch of archaeology is closely related to technical sciences and technologies in general and therefore requires thoughtful introspection and competent theorising. To obtain reliable results of deciphering in archaeology, it is necessary to always pay attention to the analysis of the research process and the multi-level process of checking its results. The reliability of the obtained data definitely depends on the clarity and awareness of the sholar’s actions, which in turn has a great impact on various fields of archaeological science, and even national security. The reliability of data depends on the “purity” of research operations, which is extremely important in the process of monitoring archaeological objects. The current state of archaeological monuments in Ukraine in the conditions of martial law, and especially on the territories of hostilities, requires urgent monitoring. With the help of modern aerial and satellite photographs, it is especially relevant and necessary today to investigate the damaged archaeological landscapes, wide application of remote sensing of land, satellite navigation systems and geo-information technologies with decoding, for the collection, processing and analysing the information in combination with the data of specific aerial visual surveys using drones and traditional methods of surveys in those areas where it is possible.

Conceptual Blending and Compound Figures of Speech

Compound figures of speech, such as hyperbolic metaphors, ironic metaphors and ironic hyperboles, have been investigated from several points of view, but the complexity of the phenomena is such that a thorough explanation is still lacking. This contribution will be focused on ironic metaphors. It will be suggested that a plausible explanation of their process of interpretation can be found within the framework of Conceptual Integration Networks. Specifically, two alternative proposals are discussed. The first one is in line with two-stage theories of figurative language comprehension, as it describes the interpretation of the compound as a blending of a blending. The second one analyses emergent meanings on a probabilistic base, as in constraint-satisfaction models of irony, which are consistent with one-stage theories. Finally, an interpretation of the empirical results obtained in previous studies is provided.

The effects of artificial intelligence on organizational culture in the perspective of the hermeneutic cycle: The intersection of mental processes

AbstractArtificial intelligence technology has spread rapidly in the business world in recent years and has transformed the business processes of many organizations. This transformation has caused significant changes not only in the technological infrastructure but also in the organizational culture and way of doing business. However, the effects of artificial intelligence on organizational culture are complex and diverse. While artificial intelligence applications can change businesses' values, norms, and ways of working, they can also make it difficult to maintain a human‐centered approach. In this context, it is important to understand and evaluate the effects of artificial intelligence on organizational culture. This article examines the effects of artificial intelligence on organizational culture from the perspective of the hermeneutic cycle. The hermeneutic cycle allows us to understand the interaction between organizational culture and artificial intelligence as a continuous process of interpretation and understanding. In addition, by making use of the experience anecdote of phenomenology, it is emphasized how mental processes are shaped and that these processes have a structure suitable for the hermeneutic cycle. This framework helps us more comprehensively evaluate and analyze the effects of artificial intelligence on organizational culture. Our findings reveal that integrating AI within organizational frameworks requires nuanced understanding and adaptations that align with human‐centric values.

Knowledge Management and Linked Data Generation in the CIS Statistics Committee

This article presents the actions implemented by the Interstate Statistical Committee of the CIS (CIS-STAT) in knowledge management information systems, preparation of linked data and «smart» (semantically rich) metadata as part of the CIS data hub that is under construction. Based on the analysis of international experience and after conducting their own long-term research, the authors set out the purpose behind the work – to increase the efficiency and potential of using statistical data by ensuring an unambiguous and meaningful data interpretation, including in consumer information systems. To reach this goal, the authors proposed new approaches and technologies for building a knowledge management system based on the semantic network, which made it possible to link machine-interpretable semantic models with human-readable knowledge representations. Addressing the objective of organizing knowledge about statistical methodology is a key to increasing the potential for using linked data and enabling collaborative processing of statistical data. The proposed methodological and technological approach is aimed at contextualizing a subject area used to develop linked data and generate «smart» metadata. It also provides new opportunities for consumers to work with statistical data and metadata – their interpretation, meaningful analysis, comparison and joint processing. Along with a description of the systems operating cycle, the article provides a meaningful analysis of the issues of harmonizing statistical terminology, identified by practical work with the «Labor Statistics» domain. Special attention is paid to the role of the expert community in developing a knowledge management system

Teaching Asian Religions through the Internet—How Online Representations Interact with Dynamics of Eurocentrism, Orientalism, and Confessionalism in the Case of Italian Teaching of Catholic Religion

The religions of South and East Asia resist Eurocentric interpretations, such as the so-called World Religion Paradigm. However, they are subjected in various ways to hetero- and auto-orientalist representations that respond to Western ideals and expectations. This article analyzes how Italian Catholic teachers use online representations of East Asian religions in their lessons to teach these traditions. The aim is to shed light on the interplay, facilitated by online environments, between contemporary processes of Eurocentric and Orientalist interpretation and the educational and confessional motivations of confessional religious education teachers. The result of the analysis indicates that these factors concur to reinforce misleading representations, which contradicts the intercultural aims proclaimed by teachers and other Teaching of Catholic Religion stakeholders. Nevertheless, this article also individuates those elements that could be fruitfully framed in an academic study-of-religions perspective and suggests a modality of cooperation between Catholic Religion teachers and scholars of religions.

A kimondott szavak súlya, avagy összefüggések a nyelv és az erkölcsi nevelés között magyar és német nyelvű példák alapján

In the public mind, morality is a religious, legal, philosophical and social category. We rarely talk openly about morality, yet our language reflects our concept of morality. The concept is crucial to our decisions in all areas of life, both in our linguistic and non-linguistic behaviour. According to the cognitive paradigm, a close relationship can be assumed between thinking and language: thinking is manifested in language, but language also affects the process of thinking itself. In exploring the links between language, thought and culture, Lakoff-Johnson (1999) introduced the notion of thinking relativism, which argues that different metaphor use causes differences in thinking. Based on this, the question arises as to whether representatives of various nations think differently about a concept - in our case, morality - and how this manifests itself in their language. Thinking about this further, how can culture-specific differences in language affect the conceptualisation process? In this study, we seek to answer these questions. The analysis draws on the concept of morality constructed by Lakoff (1996, 2002) and Lakoff-Johnson (1999), which describes the interpretative process of American society, but some parts of it can be said to be near-universal, and therefore can provide useful insights for the study of other languages. The formation of the concept of morality begins through family education and linguistic and non-linguistic interactions within the family. Lakoff (1996), examining Western political morality, concludes that there are basically two family models, and thus two different conceptions of morality. Conservatives are characterized by the strict father model, while liberals are characterized by the caring parent model. In both models, diverse concepts of morality enjoy priority and treat the concept of 'morality' differently. In the course of our research, we mainly examined metaphorical conceptualization on the basis of Hungarian and German examples of living language, comparing them with the conceptions of morality constructed on the basis of English examples. We have found that the linguistic examples we have examined do not provide a complete metaphor system as outlined by Lakoff (ibid.), but certain elements of it clearly exemplify the similarities and differences between the family morals found in the two languages.

Interpretation in reverse: Remixing the Three Kingdoms

AbstractThis article investigates online fan video remixes that combine footage from the televisual adaptation of the Chinese classic The Romance of Three Kingdoms, set in ancient China, with soundtracks from the American science fiction film Inception (2010) and the magical fantasy Pirates of the Caribbean (2011). Analyzing the audio‐visual aesthetics of these videos, I propose a reversal of Henry Jenkins's “additive comprehension” framework, which suggests that fan works aim to interpret and complete the original story‐verse. Instead, I argue these videos reverse the process of interpretation through temporal–spatial transportation and corporeal transfiguration with false continuity editing, acousmatic aesthetics, and gravitational disorientation.

INTERPRETATION WORKFLOW OF GEOMETRIC TOLERANCES

The application of the principles of the geometric product specification (GPS) has increasing importance in the machining industry. The tolerancing process should harmonize the relationship between tolerancing, machining process, measuring and design requirements. The aim of the article is to present the interpretation process and the suggested workflow of geometric tolerances. The dimensional and geometric tolerances are compared, and some critical problems of geometric tolerancing are demonstrated by case studies.

Enhancement of the MATISSE tool for the geological analysis of planetary surfaces: A study on central pit craters on Mercury

In this work we present the improved capabilities of MATISSE (Multi-purpose Advanced Tool for Instruments for the Solar System Exploration) tool which is now able to integrate geological maps and analyze specific data based on selected parameters (target, mission, instrument, geological units and area of interest). To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach we focused on “central pit” craters on Mercury, with particular regard to the ones exposed in the Hokusai, Victoria, and Derain quadrangles.The use of MATISSE for this application allowed us for an analysis of these morphologies, confirming a tendency for their location on volcanic terrains. The integrated research approach adopted in this study has proven to be a significant advantage in geological analysis, accelerating the process of data collection and interpretation. In conclusion, this study shows how the continuous evolution of scientific tools devoted to data handling and management based on FAIR principles, such as MATISSE, has the potential to open new perspectives in understanding planetary-scale geological processes.

Heuristic Research in Nursing Science.

The purpose of this article is to reintroduce and describe the processes and phases of heuristic inquiry and to illustrate how the method can advance nursing science. Heuristic inquiry is a rigorous, systematic, phenomenologically orientated research method developed by Clark Moustakas for investigating, discovering, and understanding the nature and meaning of living experiences. Heuristic inquiry invites the inclusion of the researcher's autobiographical living of experience being investigated honoring the personal experiences of the phenomenon from self and each participant in the research study. The author proposes that heuristic inquiry be used in nursing science by including a theoretical interpretive process connecting the thematic essences of the nursing conceptual framework guiding the study. Nursing theory-guided heuristic research advances the study of caring for persons experiencing human-environmental-health transitions to enhance human betterment and wellbecoming.

A Psycholinguistic Approach to Consecutive Interpretation: Identifying Problems Among Saudi Interpreters

The complexities associated with the interpretation process have raised considerable attention from researchers. The multifaceted nature of interpretation, which involves transferring meaning from one language to another in real time, presents a range of cognitive, linguistic, and practical challenges. This study comprehensively examines problems encountered by Saudi interpreters while performing consecutive interpretation. The analysis is grounded in Gile’s Effort Models (1995), which investigates the cognitive mechanisms underlying challenges across four phases: listening and understanding, note-taking, note-decoding, and expressing and reformulating. Using a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool, the study applies quantitative analysis to investigate the reported problems among 102 trainee and professional Saudi interpreters. The study reveals insights into the problems encountered by the participants during different phases of consecutive interpretation, such as note-taking, coherence maintenance, handling information density, managing nervousness, and ensuring memory reliability. These findings align with previous empirical studies in the field, emphasizing the importance of understanding the cognitive and practical difficulties inherent in the process of consecutive interpretation. Overall, this study contributes to the existing knowledge base on interpreter challenges while also highlighting the universal nature of these difficulties and the need for customized ongoing interpreter training programs.

Application of Mamdani Fuzzy Logic System on Catfish Sorting System (Clarias sp.)

In catfish farming activities, there is a sorting process and a calculation process that is carried out manually or conventionally which causes a lack of effectiveness of labor and time in cultivation and causes fish wounds or injuries after the sorting activity. This research aims to make the sorting process easier and more flexible. By considering factors such as weight, length and other physical conditions in a fuzzy manner, the system can provide more accurate decisions in determining the quality and type of fish, increase sorting efficiency, and reduce errors in fish grouping process. Logic systems can provide more accurate assessments, allowing fish producers or traders to better sort fish according to market standards and consumer needs. The data analysis method used uses qualitative methods. Data is analyzed by identifying patterns, themes and categories through the coding and interpretation process. Fuzzification in the development of an automatic fish sorter uses weight (gram) and length (cm) parameters as input while the output is a measure of consumption. Using this tool is said to be more effective than conventional fish sorting.

Toward multimodal virtual communication

Abstract The paper explores the concept of multimodality in contemporary stylistics of virtual communication, mainly focusing on the process of interpretation. After outlining the basics of multimodal meaning-making theory, it further develops it by incorporating ideas from the theory of media or other related disciplines. The next part describes the of immersive potential of virtual environment, tying it to the multisensorial nature of human epistemic existence. Finally, the last part introduces these ideas to the process of stylistic interpretation, emphasizing the changes and problems, which multimodal virtual communication introduces.

Literary Metaphor Comprehension in the Rational and Experiential Cognitive Styles of Human Thinking

Prior research on the poetic metaphor interpretation has focused on describing metaphoric structure and identifying its principles by observing semantically mapped properties of a metaphor. Cognitive literary studies have highlighted an experimental approach to the metaphoric thinking. The experimental approach examines, among others, the empirical processes of metaphor interpretation and comprehension. For metaphor processing, emergent meanings are crucial. We already have many reports, findings and normative data on metaphor processing, but individual cognitive mechanisms and variations across people have received an insufficient attention. To address this issue, this empirical study examines the influence of rational (analytical) and experiential (intuitive) cognitive styles on the comprehension of a poetic literary metaphor. In our statistical analysis, we have used a fractional pooling of the participants. It highlights the non-identical metaphor processes in rational and experiential cognitive preferences. According to our findings, people with a preference for the experiential cognitive style produce relatively more emergent metaphorical meanings than people with a preference for the rational cognitive style. These findings contribute to the more complex knowledge of the metaphoric thinking consequences. Keywords: Literary metaphor; Interpretation of metaphor; Rational (analytical) cognitive style; Experiential (intuitive) cognitive style; Emergent metaphorical meaning

The problems of the theory of the reference of signs in modern linguistics

The subject of the study is the history of the development and current state of the theory of reference, which reflects a variety of approaches and concepts. Some researchers believe that reference is a purely semantic phenomenon, while others emphasize the importance of context and pragmatics for understanding referentiality. The issue of the influence of cultural and social factors on reference in various languages is also being actively investigated. The history of the development of the theory of reference began with the works of Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell at the beginning of the 20th century. Frege introduced the concept of semantic reference, arguing that every word has its own referent in the world. Russell developed this idea by proposing a theory of descriptions, according to which words indicate objects by describing their characteristics. The works of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Donald Davidson played an important role in the further development of the theory of reference. Wittgenstein proposed the concept of language games, arguing that reference depends on the context and use of a word in a certain situation. Davidson developed the theory of truth, according to which reference is determined through the connection between language and the world. The pragmatic and cognitive aspects of research methodology are important for the successful conduct of scientific research. The referential nature of signs plays a key role in this process, ensuring effective presentation and communication of research results. The scientific novelty of the research lies in a comprehensive examination of the classical works of philosophers, semiotics and linguists, including Plato, Aristotle, Charles Pierce, Ferdinand de Saussure and Umberto Eco, on the theory of reference. One of the key concepts in the study of sign systems is referential. Referentiality allows to associate words with specific objects and understand their meaning. One of the most relevant areas of research in the field of reference is the study of ways in which linguistic units interact with the context and situation of communication. This allows for a deeper understanding of the processes of notation and interpretation in language, as well as the development of new theoretical models explaining these processes. Thus, scientific novelty in the study of the referentiality of signs continues to be relevant and important for the development of linguistics and related disciplines. The author's contribution in this area may lead to new discoveries and understanding of the mechanisms of linguistic communication.

Development of a Subtraction Processing Technology for Assistance in the Comparative Interpretation of Mammograms.

A comparative interpretation of mammograms has become increasingly important, and it is crucial to develop subtraction processing and registration methods for mammograms. However, nonrigid image registration has seldom been applied to subjects constructed with soft tissue only, such as mammograms. We examined whether subtraction processing for the comparative interpretation of mammograms can be performed using nonrigid image registration. As a preliminary study, we evaluated the results of subtraction processing by applying nonrigid image registration to normal mammograms, assuming a comparative interpretation between the left and right breasts. Mediolateral-oblique-view mammograms were taken from noncancer patients and divided into 1000 cases for training, 100 cases for validation, and 500 cases for testing. Nonrigid image registration was applied to align the horizontally flipped left-breast mammogram with the right one. We compared the sum of absolute differences (SAD) of the difference of bilateral images (Difference Image) with and without the application of nonrigid image registration. Statistically, the average SAD was significantly lower with the application of nonrigid image registration than without it (without: 0.0692; with: 0.0549 (p < 0.001)). In four subgroups using the breast area, breast density, compressed breast thickness, and Difference Image without nonrigid image registration, the average SAD of the Difference Image was also significantly lower with nonrigid image registration than without it (p < 0.001). Nonrigid image registration was found to be sufficiently useful in aligning bilateral mammograms, and it is expected to be an important tool in the development of a support system for the comparative interpretation of mammograms.

Decolonizing Through Public History – Introduction

Abstract Decolonization is the subject of an abundant literature, both as a historical event and as a contemporary process. In relations with the past, debates have risen about issues such as colonial monuments, museum collections, and repatriation. Rather than dealing with a specific type of space, institution, or material, this special issue in International Public History offers a discussion on the many links between decolonization and public history. The articles explore if and to what extent public history practices can contribute to decolonizing the history production process (through decolonized sources, decolonized interpretation processes, and decolonized space of communication of history). The articles discuss what ‘public’ in ‘public history’ means: who is doing history, for whom, with whom, and for what? The self-reflective approach of public history also questions the colonial bias and processes at stake in institutions such as archives, museums, and universities. The special issue includes contributions from various countries (South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, Canada, and Japan) to foster discussions on the plurality of links between public history and decolonization in an international context that goes beyond the too-often Western oriented public history frameworks.
