Vitamin C: Is it Relevant or Obsolete in the Modern Era?

Abstract Purpose In this review, we discuss the historic background of vitamin C, vitamin C’s physiology, its dietary sources, and how deficiency can manifest. We also discuss modern studies investigating the role of Vitamin C in immunity, in cardiovascular disease, and in chronic conditions. Summary In the body, vitamin C acts as an essential cofactor in several enzymatic reactions including, but not limited to, neurotransmitter synthesis, hormone amidation, collagen synthesis, hypoxic transcription factor modification, and epigenetic modifications. Scurvy, caused by severe vitamin C deficiency, is an infamous disease recorded in historical documents, with patients presenting with joint ache, bleeding gums, depression, and hysteria. Since humans are unable to naturally synthesize ascorbic acid, they must rely on dietary sources such as fruits and vegetables in order to maintain their vitamin C levels and avoid such manifestations. Maintaining stable vitamin C levels remains increasingly important in the modern era, particularly for the vulnerable pediatric patient with chronic conditions or critical illness. Regulating vitamin C levels could decrease morbidity and mortality in the chronic and critically ill pediatric population. Moving forward, there is a need for more head-to-head trials pertaining to vitamin C’s role in improving immunity, modifying cardiovascular risk, and altering cancer prognosis.

Legal security of mediation in Ukraine: shortcomings and prospects for improvement through the prism of the experience of the countries of the European Union

In the content of the article, the author investigated the peculiarities of the legal provision of mediation in Ukraine and the countries of the European Union. Despite the fact that today in legal science, a significant body of scientific works has been formed, which relate to certain aspects of mediation, it is worth noting that the issue of legal support for mediation in Ukraine has not been properly studied scientifically. Modern studies of the legal provision of mediation are especially relevant, given the high degree of its variability in Ukraine. On the basis of a critical analysis of the provisions of Ukrainian legislation in the field of mediation, its shortcomings and prospects for improvement were determined. The following are noted as shortcomings of the legal provision of mediation in Ukraine: a) the absence of provisions that would regulate the issues of mediation procedures, in particular before submitting an appeal to the court, during court proceedings, as well as during the execution of a court decision, etc.; b) inconsistency of its categorical and conceptual apparatus with established legislative terminology (for example, the terms "conflict” and "dispute”); c) inaccuracy of the legal provision of mediation principles; d) superficial, too general regulation of the mediation process itself; e) failure to take into account the European standard of mediation transparency, etc. The analysis of the peculiarities of the legal provision of the EU countries (France, Germany, Italy, Austria, etc.) made it possible to substantiate the prospects for improving the legal provision of mediation in Ukraine. It is summarized that the Ukrainian legislation has experienced legal transformations in the field of mediation, moving from the least effective and least reliable informal model to a specialized model by adopting the framework Law of Ukraine "On Mediation”. In our opinion, the most effective model of legal support for mediation is the specialized model chosen by Ukraine, which, among other things, should be complemented by effective mechanisms of self-regulation of this legal activity through the development and application of acts of the so-called "unofficial law” adopted by professional associations of mediators. The combination of the legal regulation of mediation in Ukraine was noted: a) the typicality of the law "On Mediation”, which established the legal foundation of mediation and regulated the most general and important issues in this area; b) self-regulating mechanisms of mediation, designed to ensure a quick response to the dynamic development of mediation and relations where it should be applied.

Diaspora, Modernism, and Black Masculinities in Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners and Andrew Salkey’s Escape to an Autumn Pavement

Following the transnational turn in modernist studies, and building on Stuart Hall’s and Nadia Ellis’s concepts of diaspora as key to understanding Caribbean modernism, this essay examines Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners (1956) and Andrew Salkey’s Escape to an Autumn Pavement (1960) as the first wave of West Indian fiction that traces a black, male consciousness shaped by modernity and migration, one whose lived experiences and feelings of belonging in post-WWII London resist binarized understandings of colonizer and colonized. Selvon’s and Salkey’s fiction represents complex and conflicting senses of black masculinity as mediated by colonialism, bourgeois respectability, and whiteness. Migrant or middle-class, normative or queer, the various modes of black masculinity captured in the novels counter reductive attempts to ascribe one fixed identity, ideological position, or reality to Windrush flaneurs who might prefer walking the streets of London incognito.

Modernism, modernity and contemporality: conceptualizing the modern in Scotland’s modern studies

ABSTRACT This paper offers an analysis of Modern Studies, a school subject unique to Scotland. First taught in the 1960s, Modern Studies was originally conceived as an option for students discontinuing their studies in history and geography. Since then, though, Modern Studies has carved a distinctive curricular niche and has become one of the most popular subjects in Scottish schools. Despite this popularity—or, perhaps, because of it—Modern Studies has not received the same critical analysis as other subjects in the school curriculum. The subject remains one defined by its content (political literacy, social issues, and international relations), rather than by its disciplinary or epistemic underpinnings. This paper uses Toulmin’s (1990) conception of modernity to analyse course documents and examination papers. This analysis suggests that Modern Studies was imbued from the start with three foundational assumptions. First, a positivist ontology that believes certainty about the social world is possible. Second, a belief that Weberian means-end rationality is the most appropriate approach to evaluating and making sense of social relations. Third, a telos which positions liberal capitalism as the inevitable end-state of human affairs. Modern Studies is, therefore, not just ‘modern’ but modernist. The paper explores and develops these critiques with reference to specific examination questions and concludes by proposing a programme for renewing and reinvigorating the subject in an age of epistemic uncertainty and global environmental crises.

Hydrogen as Potential Primary Energy Fuel for Municipal Solid Waste Incineration for a Sustainable Waste Management

The control of municipal stable waste (MSW) has lengthy offered difficulties for the community. Affecting the sustainability of the environment. The expected reasons are rising earnings and population. The maximum superior and practicable technique for coping with municipal strong waste is incineration generation. The foundation of incinerator generation is the combustion of trash with the use of fossil fuels. Not handiest are these fuels strolling out day by day, however burning them poses a chance to the environment. The modern study appears into the viability of using hydrogen as the main gas for combustion within the incineration of municipal strong waste (MSW). It is now viable to run an incinerator of the vertical shaft type on natural hydrogen. Through specially made burners, a gasoline aggregate of hydrogen and oxygen in a stoichiometric ratio has been fed. The burners are made in this kind of manner as to offer uniform heat dispersion. In order to envision how the incinerator operates at the very best accredited moisture degree, more than a few Tests were carried out on both homogeneous and heterogeneous MSWs with excessive moisture possibilities ranging from 60 to 90%. It has been mentioned that the incineration reached a most temperature of 850C. There has been a important drop in weight percentage, 86–94%, and loss on ignition (1.74%–6.41%). For homogeneous paper and meals waste (1 kg), the hydrogenbased totally incinerator executed fine, accomplishing 60% and 87% of moisture content, in that order. The weight reduction become 97.14% and 88.88%, respectively, with energy expenditure of 108 Wh and 321 Wh. The efficiency of the hydrogen-based incinerator gadget decreases as the moisture content of the rubbish will increase. Keywords: Municipal waste management (MSW), hydrogen, incineration, fuel.

Globalization has begun a new era termed as the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Newly created technology trends are selective automation, the Internet of things and physical-cyber systems. However, the progress of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is perceived as disregarding the values that exist in a society. The objective of the present study was to discuss issues related to changes in community values  as a result of technological changes and the challenges faced by the society in Industrial Revolution 4.0 technology. This study utilised a descriptive qualitative method using literature search. The study of modernization of life in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is just a new technology with emphasis on making profits at the expense of the changes in values of a society. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 poses challenges to the young generation in terms of education, employment and environmental pollution. The present study serves as a pilot study for more development of a humanity approached model systems that are in line with current technological challenges.

The Role of Inflammasome in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Its Potential Drugs.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been recognized as a serious chronic inflammatory degenerative aortic disease in recent years. At present, there is no other effective intervention except surgical treatment for AAA. With the aging of the human population, its incidence is increasing year by year, posing a serious threat to human health. Modern studies suggest that vascular chronic inflammatory response is the core process in AAA occurrence and development. Inflammasome, a multiprotein complex located in the cytoplasm, mediates the expression of various inflammatory cytokines like interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, and thus plays a pivotal role in inflammation regulation. Therefore, inflammasome may exert a crucial influence on the progression of AAA. This article reviews some mechanism studies to investigate the role of inflammasome in AAA and then summarizes several potential drugs targeting inflammasome for the treatment of AAA, aiming to provide new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of AAA beyond surgical methods.

СРАВНЕНИЕ ИНДЕКСА БИОРАЗНООБРАЗИЯ ПАРОДОНТАЛЬНЫХ ПРОСТРАНСТВ У ПАЦИЕНТОВ В ПОСТКОВИДНОМ ПЕРИОДЕ

Relevance. Improving the diagnosis and provision of periodontal care to patients with chronic periodontitis in combination with herpetic and candidal lesions is an urgent goal of many modern studies. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the post-COVID syndrome, have sufficiently changed the view of dentists on the diagnosis and treatment of these comorbid and associative diseases. Purpose: comparison of the Shannon biodiversity index of the studied groups. Materials and methods. We conducted a single-center, randomized, prospective, clinical-microbiological, controlled, open study to determine the comorbidity of herpes and candida infections with chronic generalized periodontitis; 61 patients (aged 18 to 19 years) were examined. Results: In general, I would like to emphasize that the less we record the Shannon biodiversity index, the healthier the space under study, in our case the periodontal area, is. Since less biodiversity is a formed stable microbial community, contributing to the preservation of constancy and protection from opportunistic and pathogenic forms. In conclusion, I would like to note that the pathogenesis of COVID-19 is truly interesting and unique, and there is practically no data on changes in the spectrum of periodontopathogenic and normal microbiota in the pathology under consideration, therefore the use of metagenomic analysis of the oral microbiome against the background of a coronavirus infection will expand the understanding of the course of these comorbid diseases. Therapeutic measures aimed at reducing the viral load in periodontal tissues can help not only reduce the number of possible niches for the life of the virus, but also strengthen periodontal tissues, preventing the development of comorbid and associative forms of diseases.

Ciliary propulsion through non-uniform flows

The classical paper by Lighthill (Commun. Pure Appl. Maths, vol. 109, 1952, p. 118) on the propulsion of ciliated microorganisms has become the reference against which many modern studies on swimming in low Reynolds number are compared. However, Lighthill's study was limited to propulsion in a uniform flow, whereas several biologically relevant microorganisms experience non-uniform flows. Here we propose a benchmark for ciliary propulsion in paraboloidal flows. We first consider the axisymmetric problem, with the microorganisms on the centreline of the background flow, and derive exact analytical solutions for the flow field. Our results reveal flow features, swimming characteristics and performance metrics markedly different from those generated in a uniform flow. In particular, the background paraboloidal flow introduces a Stokes quadrupole singularity at the leading-order flow field, generating vortices. Moreover, we determine the necessary conditions on the strength of the background flow for optimal power dissipation and swimming efficiency. We then consider the more general case of a microorganism off the centreline of the background flow. In this case, the squirmer experiences a paraboloidal, linear shear and uniform flows due to its position relative to the flow's centreline. Our findings show that while the linear shear flow does not affect the translational and rotational velocities of the squirmer, it does influence the velocity field and, therefore, the power dissipation.

The Relationship between Study Habits and Academic Performance among University Students

Abstract: This paper examines the intricate relationship between study habits and academic performance among university students. Drawing upon a synthesis of empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and psychological models, the abstract delves into the multifaceted dynamics shaping students' study habits and their consequent impact on academic achievement. Key factors such as time management, learning strategies, motivation, self-regulation, and environmental influences are explored within the context of diverse student populations and academic disciplines. Moreover, the abstract elucidates the reciprocal nature of this relationship, wherein effective study habits not only enhance academic performance but also contribute to holistic student development. Additionally, it sheds light on the role of technology, social media, and other contemporary influences in shaping modern study habits and their implications for academic success. Finally, the abstract underscores the importance of tailored interventions and educational strategies aimed at optimizing study habits to foster optimal academic outcomes and lifelong learning skills among university students

Aural Interruptions: The Politics of Sound in Teresa Deevy's Radio Plays

Despite becoming deaf at a young age from Ménière’s disease, Teresa Deevy uses sound in radio dramas to critique how conceptions of the past were materially constraining the possible futures for women in mid-century Ireland. While Deevy remains an understudied playwright, scholars like Caoilfhionn Ní Bheacháin have shown how Deevy’s stage plays challenge gender hierarchies during the Cumann na nGaedhael government and rework forms of naturalism. Few scholars offer sustained analyses of Deevy’s later plays or work on radio, though Emily Bloom’s foundational work on Irish radio modernisms and theorisation of Deevy’s unique forms of engagement with radio and radio dramas inform my examinations of four plays Deevy wrote specifically for radio. Building on current scholarship, this article examines how Deevy drew on the aurality of radio and the in medias res feel of the one-act radio play to reimagine gendered relationships to narrative, place, history and material and built environments amid shifting media and cultural landscapes in mid-century Ireland. In heeding Deevy’s contributions to radio modernism through feminist, ecofeminist and media studies lenses, my analyses demonstrate methods for reading sounds in scripts that reframe how scholars approach Deevy’s later work as they expand studies of Irish radio modernism. Reading sound elements in Dignity (1939) and Within a Marble City (1949) shows how Deevy reworks realist and naturalist forms limiting women’s agency. The auralities in Going Beyond Alma’s Glory (1951) and One Look and What It Led To (1964) meta-critically reflect on the medium of radio to point to a more modernist multiplicity for women’s self-determination. Sounds and silences in and across Deevy’s four radio dramas revise and expand understandings of mid-century Irish naturalisms, realisms and modernisms as they establish an overlooked feminist Irish radio modernism that points to multiple narrative possibilities for women’s self-determination literally hanging in the air.

Ecolinguistic components of the Arctic literary image in Vasily Matonin’s travelogue Kochevoy dnevnik

This article explores key ecolinguistic components forming the literary image of the modern Arctic in V. N. Matonin’s travelogue Kochevoy dnevnik (“Nomadic Diary”). Nowadays, a significant part of the scientific literary works covers the Arctic image of the past, from the very beginning of the circumpolar region development to its active transformation during the 20th c. The modern study of the Arctic image is not the same as the study of the modern image of the Arctic presented in this article. All above determines the relevance of the work. The research material includes the Arctic travelogue Kochevoy dnevnik by Vasily Nikolaevich Matonin. This book describes the author’s journey through three regions belonging to the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in 2012–2013. The contextual analysis applied in the article aims to systematically identify and describe several contexts of the phenomena studied. This study uses the ecolinguistic approach connecting some individual components of the space representation into a complex ecosystem. The use of ecolinguistic frameworks to examine the formation of the modern Arctic literary image determines the scientific novelty of this article. This work covers the structural and functional features of travelogue as a literary genre (such as composition, author’s quasi-socialization in a new reality, relaying of the subjective space image, author’s self-reflection, manifesting importance of language as an essential element forming a connection between man, society and nature); defines the concept of the “Arctic literary image” as a combination of physical, symbolic and mathematical space of different multilingual multicultural circumpolar territories; and analyses some linguistic, social, demographic, ethnocultural, interactive, mental, political, economic and environmental aspects that construct the circumpolar literary image in V. N. Matonin’s travelogue.

Diagnosis and Intensive Care in Children’s Diabetic Acidosis: an Interdisciplinary Viewpoint

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the main cause of death and disability in children with type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Children’s mortality from T1DM reaches 1% in developed countries and 13% in developing countries. The main cause of death in DKA is cerebral edema, clinical manifestations of which develop in 0.5–0.9% of children with DKA, while mortality riches 24%.Objective. Developing recommendations to prevent life-threatening complications of children with DKA using analysis of literature data and consolidated opinion of experts on the issues of intensive care in children with T1DM.Materials and methods. We analyzed and discussed studies in diagnosis and treatment of DKA in children with type 1 diabetes and 1200 literature sources since January 1970, published in Russian peer-reviewed scientific journals and international publications presented in the online repository Medline (Pubmed). The search for publications was carried out using the keywords: «children», «DKA», «DM1», «dehydration», «cerebral edema».Results. We considered issues of epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, intensive care for DKA, as well as clinical and diagnosis, treatment, prevention of cerebral edema issues in children. Limitations of the study were the small number of modern studies with a high level of evidence (randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses) over the past 5 years on DKA in children.Conclusion. Taking into account the national and international experience, joint recommendations on a consensus format were developed and formulated for the diagnosis of DKA, its leading complications and treatment recommendations for children with T1DM and DKA. Timely and accurate diagnosis of DKA, intensive therapy options based on proven therapeutic efficacy, laboratory and clinical monitoring are warranted to interrupt the DKA pathogenesis, prevent the development of life-threatening conditions, and improve treatment outcomes for children with DKA.

The Embodiment of Ugliness in 20th Century Western Music: A Case Study of Schoenberg's Prelude

This article traces the historical emergence and development of the concept of ugliness in Western classical art, focusing on its evolution from ancient Greece to the 20th century. Initially, beauty was revered above all else, with ugliness deemed impure and sinful. However, thinkers like Augustine introduced the idea of relative ugliness, highlighting its role as a contrast to beauty. In the 18th century, Baumgarten defined aesthetics, exploring the notion of ugliness as the opposite of beauty. Rosenkranz further categorized ugliness into natural, spiritual, and artistic forms, laying the foundation for modern ugliness studies. The tumultuous social backdrop of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the World Wars and economic disparities, saw a resurgence of interest in ugliness as a means of artistic expression. This trend manifested notably in expressionist music, exemplified by Arnold Schoenberg's adoption of the twelve-tone technique. Schoenberg's "Prelude" is analyzed to demonstrate how he utilized rhythm, meter, dynamics, and melodic direction to embody the principles of ugliness studies. The article concludes by emphasizing the significance of ugliness studies in modern and contemporary art, challenging traditional aesthetic principles and contributing to a broader understanding of artistic movements beyond beauty.

The bacterial microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract of dairy cattle: structure, functions, importance (review)

The review presents the generalized material of experimental studies and review works (114 sources, including 110 foreign) on studying the composition of bacterial microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract in cattle depending on age, clinical condition of animals and level of productivity, shows the influence of the functional activity of microbiota on the formation and development of the organism. The microbiota affects the health and productive qualities of dairy cattle. The bacterial community of the gastrointestinal tract plays a crucial role in the digestive system. This complex system with feedback, where on the one hand, the microbiota is influenced by the genotype of the host, feed base, living conditions, breeding methods, and drugs used, and on the other hand, the microbiota primarily affects plastic and energy metabolism, but also indirectly affects respiratory, urinary, central nervous, and immune systems of the body. Bacterial diversity is laid down during the fetal period, undergoes significant changes during calf growth, and remains stable throughout life, adapting to changing conditions. Modern studies of gastrointestinal diseases are increasingly focusing on the composition of the microbial community, pointing to the dangers of antibiotic use and the need for a transition to probiotic and prebiotic therapy. Productive qualities of cows, such as milk yield and fat and protein content, also depend on the composition of the microbiota.

Integrated untargeted and targeted testicular metabolomics to reveal the regulated mechanism of Gushudan on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis of kidney-yang-deficiency-syndrome rats.

Modern studies have shown that neuroendocrine disorders caused by the dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis are one of the important pathogenetic mechanisms of kidney-yang-deficiency-syndrome (KYDS). The preventive effect of Gushudan on KYDS has been reported, but its regulatory mechanisms on the HPG axis have not been elucidated. In this study, we developed an integrated untargeted and targeted metabolomics analysis strategy to investigate the regulatory mechanism of Gushudan on the HPG axis in rats with KYDS. In untargeted metabolomics, we screened 14 potential biomarkers such as glycine, lysine, and glycerol that were significantly associated with the HPG axis. To explore the effect of changes in the levels of potential biomarkers on KYDS, all of them were quantified in targeted metabolomics. With the quantitative results, correlations between potential biomarkers and testosterone, a functional indicator of the HPG axis, were explored. The results showed that oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and energy depletion, induced by metabolic disorders in rats, were responsible for the decrease in testosterone levels. Gushudan improves metabolic disorders and restores testosterone levels, thus restoring HPG axis dysfunction. This finding elucidates the special metabolic characteristics of KYDS and the therapeutic mechanism of Gushudan from a new perspective.

Modern vegetation-climate relationships for pollen assemblages across the mountainous regions of southwestern China: Implications for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction

A comprehensive understanding of modern pollen transport processes is a prerequisite for utilizing fossil pollen to elucidate the evolution of palaeoclimates and palaeoenvironments, especially in areas such as southwestern China where complex mountainous topography results in vegetation heterogeneity. In this paper, we selected four vertical profiles in mountainous regions of southwestern China, each with distinct plant communities, to investigate the relationship between modern pollen rain, vegetation types and vegetation cover, and to quantify the influence of environmental factors. Results show that pollen assemblages are generally representative of regional plant communities, although long-distant transport of arboreal pollen by valley winds can introduce signals from a much wider area. The calibrated arboreal pollen percentage (AP) and ratio of arboreal pollen to non-arboreal pollen (AP/NAP) serves as reliable quantitative proxies for vegetation cover, highlighting the importance of appropriate calibration when interpreting fossil pollen assemblages. Climate is the primary determinant of pollen distribution across these mountains, with mean temperature of the coldest month (MTCM) playing the most prominent contribution. Additionally, the impact of vegetation cover and soil nutrients on pollen distribution are also significant. Our modern study improves the accuracy of pollen interpretation for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in mountainous regions of southwestern China.

The Impact of Positive Mental State on Physical Health

Mental and physical aspects of health in humans have long shared a symbiotic relationship, with various studies in Psychology acknowledging the same. Modern studies have increasingly focused on the impact of positive mental status on an individual’s physical well-being. Jerome E. Baum and Tasha E. Posluszny in 1999 published an article "Mapping Biobehavioural Contributions to Health and Illness" that probes into numerous aspects of health psychology, such as the effects of stress, coping mechanisms, health behaviour change, and the biopsychosocial model of health. Hippocrates, regarded as the father of Western medicine, proposed a theory of involving various body resources including blood, bile etc., which could influence a person's physical and mental health. He was one of the earliest to recognise the impact that psychological factors held on physical health and acknowledged the role that emotions such as anger, fear, and sadness held in influencing both physical and mental well-being. Psychotherapists and practicing physicians too have recognized the co-existence of psychological and physical disorders. What is missing though, is the specific link that connects emotional status with physical complaints in an individual, although the simultaneous existence of depressed mood and increased complaints of physical complaints is well documented. This research paper strives to delve into the existing literature to decode the multi-faceted connections that exist between positive mental states, like optimism, flexibility, persistence and happiness, and how they impact physical health outcomes. Using theoretical groundworks and empirical evidence, this paper aims to provide a far-reaching understanding of how physical health and overall well-being can be inculcated with a positive mental state.

Кто я, философ-миллениал, и кем могу стать?

The article attempts to find the specifics of the generation of millennial philosophers through an analysis of the features of the historical location - the historical baggage and challenges that the modern stage of development of knowledge and human society, rich in opportunities and risks, poses to the philosopher. Working with generational topics, the author relies on classic works in this area by K. Mannheim and J. Ortega y Gasset, the domestic sociological tradition represented by T. Shanin, Yu. Levada and others, modern studies of the millennial generation, in particular the so-called Generation I (J. Twenge). In addition, the author, belonging to the corresponding age cohort, analyzes personal experience, speaking as a representative of the millennial generation in general and the generation of millennial philosophers in particular. The main emphasis is on considering how the choice of profession occurred, what events determined it, what was the motivation in the 2000s - first to go to study at the Faculty of Philosophy, then to write a dissertation for the degree of Candidate of Philosophy and, finally, to build a career as a professional philosopher. At the same time, the author is critical of the fact that he belongs to the millennial generation, honestly identifying and explaining some distance from peers and emotional rootedness in the experience of previous generations, primarily the sixties and seventies. Stating the facts of his own biography that can influence the assessment of the sociocultural and professional significance of the generation of millennial philosophers, the author offers his vision of the main features that distinguish millennials as a philosophical generation. One of the main theses substantiated in the article is the statement about the fundamental openness of the fate of the millennial generation in philosophy, whose history is not only unwritten, but not strictly predetermined by the past and present, being dependent on the rapidly changing images of the nearest and more distant future.
