PRE-SCIENTIFIC AND SCIENTIFIC THEORIES OF HUMAN DREAM: AN AFRICAN PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE

The concept and attitude towards human dream and what it means, mutates between the prescientific and scientific views. The pre-scientific view, basically, believes that dreams are possible channels by which God talks to humans. On the other hand, the scientific view, in general, holds that dreams are purely human psychic activity with no relation whatsoever to divine messages. The question is; what about African philosophical perspectives? This paper hypothesizes that while most African traditional societies embrace the pre-scientific view of dreams, African philosophy is much more complex in regards to the concept of dreams. This is because; African philosophy embraces some elements of the pre-scientific as well as the scientific views. Centrally, African philosophical perspective is based on African ontology, which underscores the ontological relationship between beings. In this ontology, humans are related to God, ancestors, nature, and fellow humans. Dreams can only be understood from this perspective. Thus, African philosophy does not insulate divine interventions from human dreams and as well incorporates human mental consciousness.

Барвистий світ поезій Анатолія Мойсієнка

Background. The colourful world of A. Moisiienko’s poetry is analyzed in the article. The author clearly outlines the linguistic picture of the writer’s world, his inner perception of the environment through the colour. The analysis is carried out in the lexical and semantic aspect, taking into account the grammatical and word-formation expression of colour designations, which allows to outline the mental consciousness of the writer, and his artistic personality, which is an integral part of the author’s poems, shapes the mood of the work, its uniqueness. The use of colours is essential in the writer’s idiostyle, which defines the creative image of the author, manifested in his views on the phenomena of nature and human life. Methods. Descriptive, contextual, transformational-stylistic. Results. In A. Moisiienko’s poetry, colours denote natural phenomena, serve as means of depicting landscapes, portraits, and phenomena of the surrounding world, convey the mood of the lyrical hero, and depict both abstract concepts and concrete objects. All these colourful images have absorbed the depth of national culture, folk psychology, and the individual worldview. The author’s arsenal includes both achromatic and chromatic colours. Colourful lexemes are expressed by different parts of speech: adjectives, nouns, verbs, and adverbs, which have different structures, convey different colour saturation, and are characterized by different syntagmatic patterns with different associative fields. Conclusion. The colourful world of Anatolii Moisiienko’s poetry is his life, environment, native land, and people around him, that is, a bright, diverse national and cultural time-space in which the lyrical hero of the author’s poems lives. The colouristic paradigm of the artist’s poetic works covers the widest layer of semantic designations of objects and phenomena of the surrounding world, portrait and inner emotional characteristics. In addition to its primary meaning, the colourful word in the poetry of A. Moisiienko performs an important associative and figurative, symbolic function, becomes an individual marker of the poetic text. Each colour can vary in colour tone, saturation, and clarity, which allows one to define the surrounding world and the lyrical hero in it quite accurately and at the same time figuratively.

Ecological imperatives in contemporary Hungarian poetry

Abstract The study reviews from an ecopoetic point of view the tendencies in Hungarian poetry of recent years that emphasise the biopoetic aspects of existence. László Lázár Lövétei’s eclogues, for example, renew the discourse from the perspective of the ancient tradition, while Tamás Korpa and Mátyás Sirokai transform the reader’s mental consciousness by focusing on the plant life, and in doing so, reassess and rethink the concept of being embedded in nature. For example, Gábor Dávid Németh combines the mechanisms of cultural memory, the ecosystems of environmental awareness and the plant metaphor system arising from the organicity of language. Gábor Mezei approaches the question from the perspective of hybridity. Besides blurring the traditional boundaries of body and self, these authors also exploit the subversive, resistant character of ecopoetics, not once asserting the principle of what they call the ecopoetic imperative whose topological, tropological, entropological and ethnological dimensions are worth exploring.

Comparison of Concepts in Poetry

The article presents a comparative cognitive analysis of Uzbek and Kazakh poetry. The poems of the poet T. Abdikakimov and the prominent representative of Uzbek poetry M. Yusuf on the theme of their native land and homeland are also considered. General aesthetic features and literary, cultural ties, characteristic of post-colonial countries, are determined on the basis of Kazakh, Uzbek poetry. The article made a comparative conceptual analysis of poetry. On its basis, through poetry, through literary creative space, the features and values ​​of the Kazakh, Uzbek nations are deeply analyzed. In the second part of the article, on the example of Kazakh and Uzbek poetry, a conceptual analysis is carried out and in the course of the analysis the role of cultural, mental, spiritual and literary ties between these peoples is determined. Research work through a conceptual analysis on the example of poetry opens the way to a deeper knowledge of the world of values ​​of fraternal peoples and, being fateful, reveals through poetry the manifestation of differences associated with the way of life. In the course of the analysis of national concepts, the concept of “tugan zher” based on the poem by T. Abdikakimov in Kazakh poetry and the concept of “otan” in the work of M. Yusuf, a prominent representative of Uzbek poetry, were studied. In the article we define the role and power, the influence of poetry as a "driving force", linking it with the mental consciousness of peoples, with the world of values. Conceptual analysis opens a wide path for this.

The Role of the Respiratory Microbiome in the Pathogenesis of Aspiration Pneumonia: Implications for Diagnosis and Potential Therapeutic Choices.

Although the lungs were considered to be sterile until recently, the advent of molecular biology techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction, 16 S rRNA sequencing and metagenomics has led to our expanding knowledge of the lung microbiome. These methods may be particularly useful for the identification of the causative agent(s) in cases of aspiration pneumonia, in which there is usually prior administration of antibiotics. The most common empirical treatment of aspiration pneumonia is the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics; however, this may result in negative cultures from specimens taken from the respiratory tract. Therefore, in such cases, polymerase chain reaction or metagenomic next-generation sequencing may be life-saving. Moreover, these modern molecular methods may assist with antimicrobial stewardship. Based upon factors such as age, altered mental consciousness and recent hospitalization, there is a shift towards the predominance of aerobes, especially Gram-negative bacteria, over anaerobes in aspiration pneumonia. Thus, the therapeutic choices should be expanded to cover multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria in selected cases of aspiration pneumonia.

ОПЫТ НАРРАТИВНОГО ПОДХОДА В ЗАРУБЕЖНОЙ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОЙ ПРАКТИКЕ

Achieving educational goals to improve the quality of education is increasingly associated with a narrative approach. Personally oriented education focuses on the development of a creative, thinking, self-developing personality. The organization of the educational process is associated with the introduction of narrative practices to activate the position of the student, reflection of his own and acquired experience of cognition of being. The organic nature of learning through narrative is associated with the natural ability and need of a person to structure his experience and realize himself in society in a plot-related narrative. Didactic material has been used for many centuries to accumulate and transfer knowledge and form the necessary personality traits. In order to systematize and identify promising areas for using the narrative approach in the educational process, a theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature was carried out. The hermeneutic method contributed to the understanding of the polyvariance of narrative practices, the need to correlate them with the educational situation and educational goals. Perceiving the world through the prism of the mediator’s contemplation, students are influenced by the personal attitudes of the teacher to accompany the student in the educational environment. The creation of a favorable variable environment depends on the narratives used by the tutor as a means of presentation. Decision-making is influenced by the personal experience of students, which appeals to the narrative, regardless of whether it will be voiced in the classroom or will remain only in the mental consciousness without being embodied in a verbal form. Applying narrative practices in the learning process, the future specialist reaches the level of reflection on the range of professional knowledge. The narrative approach in teaching an academic discipline contributes to the formation of the personality of a competent specialist who is able to apply knowledge outside the education system and promotes self-improvement.

ЕТНОЛІНГВІСТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ СІМЕЙНОЇ ОБРЯДОВОСТІ ЗАКАРПАТЦІВ У ЗБІРЦІ М. ДОЧИНЦЯ "КАРБИ І СКАРБИ"

The paper examines the reproduction peculiarities of action, real-object and verbal elements of family rituals in the context of artistic style; the specifics of the artistic representation of the family rituals of Transcarpathians in connection with the personality of M. Dochynets himself as an implicit narrator has been traced; semantic and word-forming and etymological analysis of ceremonial names has been carried out as well. The family rituals of Transcarpathians are artistically reproduced in the short stories “Circus”, “Ant in Amber”, “Domestic Bird” (birth ceremony); “Black Angel”, “Wax Rings” (funeral rite); “Mother’s Bread” (wedding ceremony). Family rituals in M. Dochynets’s works are represented both through artistic images and the prism of philosophical, traditional folk and religious ideas of the author himself as an implicit narrator. The picture of his artistic world reproduces the peculiarities of the national Ukrainian worldview and world consideration. Action elements of family rites are most vividly reproduced, including washing and dressing of the deceased, night vigil near the deceased, wedding invitations, gift giving to the young, etc. In most of them, pagan and Christian traditions are closely intertwined, fixed in the mental consciousness of Transcarpathians. The specificity of the real-object plan of family rites in M. Dochynets’s novel is the reflection of mystical, symbolic features formed on the basis of mythical and religious ideas of the people. The verbal context of the family rituals of the analyzed collection is represented mainly by lexemes and occasionally by phrasemes. By origin, these are mostly Ukrainian proper names with Proto-Slavic roots and a few borrowings. Most of the ceremonial nominations are the words of Ukrainian origin used mostly in the literary language, with the exception of a few dialectical words (sváyba, krúzhmo, uprovíd, dérevúsche). Symbolic meaning is inherent in such names as soul, candle, cross, wax rings, etc.

The Semantics of Morphological Means of Expressing Human Emotions

People face various psychological states, situations, emotions, and conflicts to realise their various desires in life, and they often deliver these situations to others through language means. Hence, there is a need to study various manifestations of the psychological state of a person, the phenomena of internal feelings, not only at the linguistic level, but also at the level of mental consciousness. Therefore, the main purpose of the work is to analyse the semantics of morphological means of expressing human emotions. Consideration of the definitions from various literary texts, explanation through linguistic means of various psychological situations that arose during communication to meet all the needs of humanity, the influence of expressed thoughts from these texts, emotions in various psychological situations, emotional stress, the definition of nature through psychological acceptance, and the interpretation of the expressive semantics in linguistic means contributed to this study. In the work, using the analysis of scientific studies of various scientists, it was determined that emotions play an important role in human communication. Phraseological units that are able to express the concepts of a state were analysed. It has been established that in psychology, the position of word units is used as communicative and significative functions, which makes it possible to outline the position as a means of exchanging opinions.

The Leader's Statement in Kurinji Thinai

Literature excels in capturing the essence of life that has not been dissolved by the flood of time. In that way, the respective chronicles have well recorded all the biographies of the Tamils. Palandamizhar's life is departmental. Tamils set up a lifestyle appropriate to the place and conveyed the excellence of the lifestyle through literature. In this way, the stories of Kurinji land life in hilly areas are abundantly reported in Sangam literature. This article examines the claims of the Kurinchi land chief. In human life, language separates man from other creatures and elevates this species to a higher level. The statements are made to reveal the elements of inner life. Through this article, it is possible to know that the mental consciousness of the leader is revealed.

Study on the Metabonomics Mechanism of Mongolian Medical Andai Therapy on Healthy People.

Andai therapy is a traditional therapy combining body, mind, and language with Mongolian characteristics. In the form of singing and dancing, it is widely popular among people of all ages in Mongolian areas of Inner Mongolia. According to Mongolian medicine, Heyi is one of the three elements of human body, and it can maintain life activities, promote blood circulation, and improve the functions of the sensory and mental consciousness. Andai therapy stimulates the whole body nerves and Heyi through music and dance, improves Heyi and blood operation, strengthens physique, improves immunity, effectively promotes physical and mental health, and plays a role in preventing and treating diseases. Objective. In this study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to explore the mechanism of Andai therapy, so as to provide a new research direction for taking targeted prevention and treatment measures for diseases. Methods. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) on all its cases baseline plasma to the targeted metabonomics testing, the differential metabolites of the experimental group (receiving Andai therapy) and control group (without receiving Andai therapy), analysis-related metabolite function, and screening of metabolites and related pathways through adjusting mechanism to explore the related factors are compared, to study the mechanism of the influence of Mongolian medical Andai therapy on the metabolism of different healthy people. Results. The differences in metabolic numbers between the experimental group and the control group are 114, such as cyclohexylamine chlorinated acid, 2,4-2 aminobutyric acid bitter almond alcohol, l-methyl inosine, 2-picolinate, and 2-hydroxy-2-glutaric acid metabolite content of the control group that are significantly higher than the experimental group, experimental group's other substance content is significantly higher than that of the control group, and two groups' metabolite content was obviously different. The number of differential metabolites between the female experimental group and the female control group was 119, and the number of differential metabolites between the male experimental group and the male control group was 48.

P. Ya. Galperin’s Activity Theory and Language Consciousness Theory: Results of EEG-Based Research with Regard to ICT-Assisted Foreign Language

This article presents the results of an EEG-based study of peculiarities of brain oscillatory activity in the process of language learner task performance (based on the German language). The aim of the study was to reveal neuro-physiological indicators making it possible to claim a significant difference between the ways of information input when considering language learner activity at the neurolinguistic level. The methodological approach in the experimental group was based on P. Ya. Galperin’s theory of stage-by-stage formation of mental activity and language consciousness, according to which the learner’s native language becomes a language model that helps him/her acquire general linguistic mechanisms and then transfer the skill formed to the process of mastering German, gradually making the rejection of the learner’s native language possible. The results obtained allow us to claim the existence of certain differences between the groups of subjects, consisting in smaller amplitude of the P300 peak and its smaller duration with the experimental group in comparison with the control one. Less activity in the alpha range for the experimental group was found. Taken together, these parameters may suggest less difficulty (compared to the control group) in completing language tasks by the learners. The results of the study will serve as a neuro- and psycho linguistic basis for the development of information and communication technologies in teaching German on the basis of the existing linguodidactic course leading to the language proficiency test in accordance with international requirements of EFRL. The effectiveness of P. Ya. Galperin’s activity theory, Type 3, confirmed by neuro- and psycholinguistic parameters, can constitute an alternative basis for the development of digital learning programs based so far in foreign and Russian applications on the Ebbinghaus curve.

Honey Bee Diversity in Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture and Urban Forest- Outlook Study from Bengaluru-Silicon Valley of India: A Review

The “Silicon Valley” of India, Bengaluru is one of the fastest growing cities, with many middle-class residents growing fruits and vegetables in their private spaces. This kind of Localized food systems (LFS) has been considered not only for obtaining mental pleasure and health consciousness, but also food for home consumption. This outlook study examined the honey bee diversity and possibilities of integrating different honey bees in urban agriculture and forests across the Bengaluru city. The urban forestry study across the Bengaluru city revealed presence of 374 species with the highest species diversity in parks (291) followed by residential areas and layouts (164) showing species richness. Polyalthia sp. and Pongamia glabra were found to be the most dominated tree species around the Bangaluru city. Majority of the plant species were offering good foraging sources for honey bees, including Apis indica, Apis dorsata, Apis florea and Trigona iridipennis. The urban agriculture and urban forest system in the Bengaluru was ideal for bee-keeping, especially stingless bees, which could be easily reared with limited space and care. Thus, the urban agro-ecosystem and the possible pollination services through integrating honey bees could be very much useful in making the cities more sustainable and resilient.

KAVIÑAR AṞIVUMATI KAVITAIKAḶIL UVAKAI [HILARITY IN ARIVUMATHI’S POETRY

It is knowledge and emotion that haunt human society. From the day the world appeared until the day the world ended, knowledge and emotion existed. According to Thiruvalluvar, knowledge that calms the emotion in his kural. Meyppatu are manifestations of mental consciousness. Tholkkappiyar has numbered the emotions that appear in the human mind in his epic Tholkkappiyam in Chapter Porulathigaaram. He has analyzed the emotions that appear within him in a way that others can know and understand very accurately (Meyppatu). They are eight types of emotions that apply to all human beings in the world. Meyppatu are the expression of human instincts. This dissertation aims to find out how the poetic enlightenment has been manipulated in the poetic epistemology of the numerical facts stated in the economics of Tholkappiam the fact of the matter is that consciousness is an emotional state that paves the way for human happiness. Any living being born into the world wants to be happy. Therefore, the researcher has used the poems of Arivumathi to prove this fact.

Enhance your CQ as well as IQ, EQ & SQ

We are much interested for our consciousness because our happiness and success are relying on it. But what is consciousness? Consciousness is a state of awareness. Awareness of our external situation in relation to the internal .The awareness is the light which reveals the contents of our inner and outer world and the energy find its expression through the faculties and instruments of our consciousness. Brazdau O [1] has defined consciousness as “the level of consciousness (or the level of being conscious) that is experienced in the morning, ½-1 hour after we are awake, after a refreshing sleep, without being exposed to any significant stimulus such as coffee, TV, radio, music or talking.” The Consciousness Quotient is related with six primary factors: • Physical Consciousness • Emotional Consciousness • Mental (Cognitive) Consciousness • Spiritual Consciousness • Social-Relational Consciousness • Self-consciousness. According to Brazdau O, et al. [2] some other secondary factors of the Consciousness Quotient are • Internal State Awareness • Self- Reflectiveness • Mindfulness • Autonomy • Personal Growth • Positive Relations with Others • Purpose in Life • Verbal Expression • Openness toward new experiences. In present paper researcher has focused on importance of CQ as well as IQ, EQ and SQ.

Restart of production: behavioral the economy in a pandemic

The article is devoted to topical issues of the development of the national economy in the context of the pandemic period. The authors present an attempt to prove the need to transform production to digital rails. The most significant factors that negatively affect the growth of production in a crisis are selected, a diagram of cause-and-effect relationships and a cyclical-factor spiral of consistently effective influence on the level of macroeconomic indicators are developed. The scientific problem is the decline of domestic production under the influence of these factors. The purpose of the article is to develop proposals on the need to rebalance and restart production and transition to digital technologies. To solve the scientific problem, the main working hypotheses were put forward, which were verified and confirmed by the results of mathematical analysis, regression and correlation methods of indicators, and the construction of EMM. The experimental study used hypotheticaldeductive methods, methods of analysis and synthesis of indicators, classification, comparison of indicators in the dynamics of trend analysis. The urgent need to reset the mental consciousness in the behavioral economy of business entities, as well as the rebalancing of the country’s industrial complex, currently remains a priority, because the risk of a crisis with new mutations of strains generates a long-term perspective of negative processes.

ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ СУБ’ЄКТІВ ПУБЛІЧНОГО АДМІНІСТРУВАННЯ В УМОВАХ SMART-СУСПІЛЬСТВА

The article analyzes the general theoretical foundations of the concept of Smart-society. It is stated that Smart-society is a fundamentally new, compared to information, the basis of human existence in general or a country in particular, which involves the use of Smart-technologies by people with appropriate mental consciousness (Smart-people) and their combination by organizing interaction of individuals and technologies based on reason and knowledge. The activity of subjects of public administration in the process of formation of Smart-society is considered. It is noted that one of the steps in the formation of Smart-society is the introduction of Smart-management and Smart-government (administration), which are gradually being implemented in Ukraine. It was found that one of the components of Smart-government is “E-government”, which is a system of interaction of state institutions with individual citizens in particular and society as a whole through the use of information and communication technologies that provide prompt, open and impartial solution to of any social and domestic problems. Potential and real problems inherent in public administration in these conditions have been identified. It is concluded that today both Smart-management and Smart-government (administration) are imperfect and require a comprehensive approach by forming a single national concept of formation and development of Smart-management, the effective implementation of which will be a significant impetus to the formation of Smart- society.

“Apples that aren’t very appley”: the Place of the Non-Human in a New Morality

In “Introduction to these paintings” and “Art and Morality,” Lawrence suggests that, when looking at visual art, our tendency to what he calls “kodak-vision” (one indicator of dominant mental consciousness), prevents our appreciation of new perspectives, leading us to condemn the art rather than change our viewpoint. In looking at Lawrence’s response to Cézanne’s apples this paper will consider the role visual art can play in developing a greater reverence towards the non-human, and will also look at some examples of Lawrence’s prose and poetry that shows the same intent. This will lead to the suggestion that Lawrence’s ideas about the non-human can be seen as a prototype for what we now recognise as ecological thinking.

Yeats’s A Vision and Sri Aurobindo’s Life Divine: The Essence of Poetry

The works of Yeats and Sri Aurobindo offer the perennial theme, source, and structure for poetry, particularly in the later phases of their lives: Yeats’s last phase makes him create his great poetry while Sri Aurobindo’s helps him write his great epic by looking into the transformation of soul, a journey of soul until it merges with the Supermind. Yeats’s A Vision is geometrical symbolism showing 28 phases of Moon and the Principles and faculties of human and civilization, while Sri Aurobindo’s Life Divine is about spiritual evolution, efforts of superhuman kind towards super mental consciousness by two ways: one to lift mind through matter, to Overmind, and then to Supermind, sat-chit-ananda. Yeats’s A Vision is a system, the myths for his poetry with which Yeats is to get to excellent poetic achievement; Sri Aurobindo’s Life Divine based on eternal and spiritual exploration achieves ultimate reality. Life is continuous: breath is necessary for life; when man is dead and his body’s organism is no longer active, life withdraws.

Simulation of Blast Induced Traumatic Brain Injury using Finite Element Method

Because of increase in threat from militant groups and during war exposure to blast wave from improvised explosive devices, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), a signature injury is on rise worldwide. During blast, the biological system is exposed to a sudden blast over pressure which is several times higher than the ambient pressure causing the damage in the brain. The severity of TBI due to air blast may vary from brief change in mental status or consciousness (termed as mild) to extended period of unconsciousness or memory loss after injuries (termed as severe). The blast wave induced impact on head propagates as shock wave with the broad spectrum of frequencies and stress concentrations in the brain. The primary blast TBI is directly induced by pressure differentials across the skull/fluid/soft tissue interfaces and is further reinforced by the reflected stress waves within the cranial cavity, leading to stress concentrations in certain regions of the brain. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the behaviour of a human brain model subjected to blast wave based on finite element model using LSDYNA code. The parts of a typical human head such as skull, scalp, CSF, brain are modelled using finite element with properties assumed based on available literature. The model is subjected to blast from frontal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe of the brain. The interaction of the blast wave with the head and subsequent transformation of various forms of shock energy internally have been demonstrated in the human head model. The brain internal pressure levels and the shear stress distribution in the various lobes of the brain such as frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital are determined and presented.
