Phenomenological Nature Research Articles

The Subject as Vibrant Matter

In the article Hartmut Rosa’s concept ‘resonance’ and Jacques Rancière’s concept ‘le partage du sensible’ are explored through an aesthetic and musical interpretation of teaching. The main aim is to bring understanding into how educational practices, in particular teaching practice, can bring life into subject matter, and construe it as meaningful, significant, and important in times of social acceleration and alienation (Rosa, 2015; Stiegler, 2010). Besides texts from Rosa and Rancière, the article draws on discussions from music philosophy (Bucht, 2009; Lingis, 2004), and educational philosophy (Benner, 2015; Mollenhauer, 2014; Uljens, 1998). The article suggests that Rosa’s concept of ‘resonance’ and Rancière’s concept of ‘le partage du sensible’, read together and against each other, bring insights into discussions about the phenomenological nature of teaching, described as a sort of experiential frequency-modulation that aims for resonant relationships between students and the world. While Rancière’s aesthetics can be used to highlight the abstract logics and politics of educational relations, Rosa’s sociology of resonance provides a valuable complement that grounds teaching practice in lived experience. Resonance implies, according to Rosa, an aspect of constitutive inaccessibility, which requires that both subject and world are sufficiently “closed” or self-consistent so that both sides can speak “in their own voice”, while also remaining open to be affected or reached by each other. Interpreting this resonant state educationally, and from the perspective of Rancière’s aesthetics, turns teaching into a resonance-enabling practice where students, as unique subjects, are allowed to confront the teaching content in its pure materiality; to hear it sing with its own voice, key, and rhythm.

This research was conducted to determine students' adaptive reasoning in solving Islamic integrated mathematical literacy questions based on cognitive style. This research uses an exploratory qualitative approach with a phenomenological nature. The subjects of this research consisted of 6 students from class VIII Islamic Junior High School Al-Faqih Nganjuk which consists of 3 field dependent type students and 3 field independent type students. Data collection was carried out by administering adaptive reasoning tests and interviews. The data obtained was transcribed and then analyzed based on the adaptive reasoning indicators of Killpatrick et al.'s theory. which consists of making conjectures, giving reasons for a statement, drawing conclusions from a statement, checking the validity of an argument, and finding patterns in mathematical phenomena. Based on data analysis from 6 subjects with different cognitive styles, differences were found in their adaptive reasoning. Students with a field dependent cognitive style do not meet the adaptive reasoning indicators in solving Islamic integrated mathematical literacy questions. They are only able to fulfill 3-4 indicators out of 5 indicators of adaptive reasoning. Meanwhile, students with a field independent cognitive style fulfill the adaptive reasoning indicators in solving Islamic integrated mathematics literacy problems.

Autobiographical phenomenology of memories of fiction

ABSTRACT Most autobiographical memories are based on real-life experiences, but memories of fiction have many similarities to real-life autobiographical memories. However, the phenomenological nature of this similarity, the potential differences between media types, and the role of individual differences need further investigation. Based on previous findings, we expected differences between media types on emotional intensity, sensory vividness, and confidence about the recall. To provide insight into these issues, we collected one real-life autobiographical memory and one memory of fiction (book, film, or video game) from 291 participants. We asked them to rate their memories phenomenologically. The participants also provided information regarding their motivations for engaging with fictional stories. Our results show phenomenological differences in several dimensions between media types and differences in the similarity of media types to real-life memories. While absorption seems to be a good predictor for immersion, escapism tendency is a motivation to engage with fiction frequently.

Barriers to research in family medicine-interviews with Portuguese family physician researchers.

There is a need for a deeper understanding of the barriers to research in family medicine (FM) and to consider the perceptions and perspectives of professionals. Our study aims to provide a strategic view for research capacity building in FM. We included the perspective of family physician researchers (FPR) on the existing barriers to investigation in this context. To understand and characterize the barriers to research in FM (personal and structural), from the perspective of Portuguese family physicians who are researchers. A qualitative study, of phenomenological nature, was performed, through the conduction of semi-structured interviews with FPR, from 2019 to 2022. Data analysis and thematic coding were done on MAxQDA®, with inductive and deductive approaches, until data saturation was reached. A total of 12 family physicians/researchers were interviewed. Seven main themes were identified as barriers to research: time, professional valorization, funding, ethics committees, infrastructure, management/institutions, and participants. Each theme is divided into subthemes that make it possible to assess how a barrier can affect researchers in performing research activities. Our study highlights the identification of 7 main barriers. Structuring them into sub-themes not only improved the organization of our results but also provided robust support for the next phase, namely the application of a survey with the aim of gaining a deeper insight into the repercussions that these barriers to FPR have at a national level. This research is crucial to laying the foundations for a policy document that offers well-defined and tailored recommendations to address the barriers we have uncovered.

Utilisation of E-Government Services during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Exploring Efforts by the Government of Tanzania

This article attempts to examine the Tanzanian Government’s utilisation of e-government services during the Covid-19 pandemic. The methodological approach of the article is online content review due to the phenomenological nature of the unfolding pandemic. The review is based on the researcher’s observations and analysis of the e-government platforms leveraged in Covid-19 pandemic. The results indicate that e-government has been embraced significantly through the efforts done by the government to make citizens more informed about the pandemic and to promote use of e-services. E-government is presented as among the key tools for managing the spread of the pandemic. The article also paints government digital transformation as a huge opportunity provided by e-government during the pandemic and beyond. The article contributes to literature by presenting the significance of e-government to developing countries during crises including: government-wide online presence, quality information provision, G2C and G2G e-services, online engagement and social media presence. The review shows that collaboration and coordination among government entities are strategic techniques for an integrated and efficient digital government. Rightly so, the policy makers are recommended to strengthen inter-governmental collaboration and coordination in planning, developing, implementing and maintaining e-government services.

СУБЪЕКТНО-БЫТИЙНЫЙ ПОДХОД В ИССЛЕДОВАНИИ ЛИЧНОСТИ: МЕТОДОЛОГИЯ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ

The paper presents an analysis of the historical development of the subjective-existential approach to personality at Kuban State University. This review examines the most influential psychological concepts and theories that shaped the emergence and evolution of the subjective-existential approach within the broader field of subjective approach, over more than the past 50 years. It specifically focuses on the contribution of the Department of Personality Psychology and General Psychology at Kuban State University. It highlights the significant contributions of Soviet scholars, including B. G. Ananyev, S. L. Rubinstein, A. N. Leontiev, A. V. Brushlinsky, L. I. Antsyferova, and K. A. Abulkhanova, and of those who today determine the design of the subjective approach (V. V. Znakov, E. A. Sergienko, N. E. Kharlamenkova). The subjective approach has exerted a powerful influence upon the development of contemporary methodological discourse, particularly in the creation of a structural-dynamic model of personality as a subject of being/existence. The paper outlines the main theoretical and methodological provisions of the subjective-existential approach, which provides a panoramic vision of the studied reality and an interpretation of human psychological phenomenology from an axiological and existential perspective. The approach is based on the concepts of subjectivity, the unity of the individual and their being, and the individual's striving towards authenticity of being. It is proposed that the primary function of man is to be a subject of diverse existential domains, in which he asserts himself as a personality through the reorganization of these domains. The practical implementation of the subjective-existential approach to personality is exemplified by the investigations of researchers at Kuban State University. Their work concretizes and develops some ideas of the psychology of the subject and harmoniously integrates explanatory constructs and novel theoretical models within the humanistic traditions of psychological science. The potential of the subjective-existential approach to elucidate the procedural nature of diverse phenomenology is illustrated. The efficacy of this approach for addressing a number of fundamental problems in psychological science and acute social issues of our time, which are inextricably linked to global challenges of our time - bifurcation processes and social transitivity - is substantiated.

Mitigating Tensions between Phenomenology and Critique

In this paper I argue that, while there are real tensions between phenomenology and critique, it makes a significant difference what we understand phenomenology to be, and that on a good understanding there is room for a project that is genuinely both critical and phenomenological. I will focus on four areas of tension: the eidetic character of phenomenology as opposed to the concrete character of critique; the transcendental orientation of phenomenology as opposed to social and political orientation of critique; the descriptive nature of phenomenology as opposed to the normative nature of critique; and the possibly “naïve” character of phenomenology with respect to the shaping of phenomena by social forces. In each case, I will not try to show that there is no space between phenomenology and critique; rather, I suggest that the tension between the two can be mitigated to allow for a critical phenomenology

Perception of the status of well-being of beneficiaries of the social program Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro in Othón P. Blanco

This study focused on Othón P. Blanco municipality, aiming to comprehend the well-being perception of young participants in the "Youth Building the Future" social program. The objective was to assert that the variable under scrutiny significantly influences their worldview, subsequently impacting thoughts and mitigating antisocial (violence, addiction) and criminal behaviors reflective of social marginalization and inequality. The research is theoretically grounded in Sen's Human Development model, conceptualizing it as the expansion of individuals' capabilities and opportunities for a quality life. Employing a qualitative approach due to its phenomenological nature, the study adopted a narrative autobiographical life story design. The sample, comprising 36 subjects aged 18 to 29 with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, aimed for maximum variation. Results revealed that all subjects perceived a positive shift in their quality of life, encompassing physical, social, and psychological wellbeing. The study concludes that the journey towards a healthier society commences with access to opportunities, affirming Amartya Sen's theory. Human development and well-being indicators are incorporated through policies promoting equity and equal opportunities, fostering peace and non-violence. The program aligns with the well-being objectives of the 2030 agenda.

TYPOLOGY AND INFLUENCE OF CRISIS PERIODS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN MODERN CITIES

The impact of crisis periods on the development of modern cities and residential development is an extremely important aspect of urban infrastructure analysis and planning. Different types of crises, including natural crises, economic crises, social conflicts, pandemics, military conflicts and others, can have different consequences for cities and residential development. In the context of crisis periods, cities need to be prepared for the challenges that may arise. This means developing effective action plans that include adapting to new conditions, restoring the housing stock, ensuring housing affordability and protecting residents from various threats. It is also important to remember that crises can test the resilience of cities and housing infrastructure, but they can also create opportunities for improvement and innovation. Bringing authorities, communities and developers together to work and develop together can help create more resilient and viable housing estates that meet the demands of the new realities. The purpose of this paper is to study the typology of crisis periods for modern cities, to identify different types of crises, their characteristics and impact on the development of residential development. The study was conducted using graph analytical and mathematical methods. The research requires the use of methods of both general scientific nature (systematic analysis and synthesis) and those borrowed from other fields of knowledge (philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology), which is explained by the phenomenological nature of the research object itself. In general, given the different types of crisis periods, it is important to develop comprehensive strategies to ensure the sustainability and safety of housing in modern cities. Responding to and recovering from crises determines how successful the development of cities and housing infrastructure will be in the future.

For the time Being: Heidegger’s Final Words in Vorläufiges I-IV

This article discusses the final volume of Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe. It does so by contextualizing its main themes, that is, by relating it to other writings of Heidegger of roughly the same period. Three such themes can be discovered in Heidegger’s “final” writing: a discussion of the nature of phenomenology, the abandonment of the ontological difference and the relation between the thought of being and the discipline of theology. The essay concludes with a comparison of Heidegger’s thinking of Ereignis to how theology configured the relation between God and the human being, so arguing that Heidegger seemed more indebted to the tradition of theology that he at times could acknowledge.

Interdisciplinary Aspects of Synaesthesia

Synaesthesia is a multifaceted phenomenon encompassing genetic, neurochemical, and cognitive elements, contributing to a deeper understanding of how our senses and perceptions are intricately intertwined. This paper approaches an interdisciplinary approach to a current subject in cognitive psychology, examined by specialists from diverse fields: cognitive psychologists, neurologists, philologists, musicologists, etc. Nevertheless, the diverse manifestations of synaesthesia and its phenomenological nature have posed challenges in verifying and studying its origins and mechanisms. This article adopts a medical standpoint in its examination of synesthesia, with a particular focus on its evolutionary trends and its influence within the domain of musical tasks.

A dynamical adaptation model of visual spatiotemporal processing in cones and horizontal cells

In this work, we introduce a phenomenological model for the cone-horizontal cell assembly, including spatial integration and formation of receptive field-like structures. The model extends our previous dynamical adaptation description with gain control accounting for processes in single cones, valid in severe nonlinear regimes. Here, a spatially extended feedback mechanism is introduced from horizontal cells to cones to account for experimental evidence, contributing thus to the development of a center–surround receptive field in cones and downstream bipolar cells. Feedback gain is defined on different spatial scales by weighting spatial filters: a short scale accounting for cone input to the feedback mechanism and a large scale driven by the syncytium characteristics of horizontal cells. A third spatial scale improves the description, mimicking neighboring cone–cone coupling. This overall spatial integration couples to temporal signal processing, thus obtaining a spatiotemporal model of outer retina responses capable of reproducing nonlinear features in both dimensions (space and time). The model was tested and validated using measurements on horizontal cells from different studies, with excellent performance. By its phenomenological nature, signal processing properties are inferred from model parameters. The model can be used in arrays of processing units with more complex incoming patterns of visual stimuli.

Irradiation of Plutonium Tributyl Phosphate Complexes by Ionizing Alpha Particles: A Computational Study.

The PUREX solvent extraction process, widely used for recovering uranium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel, utilizes an organic solvent composed of tributyl phosphate (TBP). The emission of ionizing particles such as alpha particles, resulting from the decay of plutonium, makes the organic solvent vulnerable to degradation. Here, we study the ultrashort time alpha irradiation of tributylphosphate (TBP) and Pu(NO3)4(TBP)2 complex formed in the PUREX process. Electron dynamics is propagated by Real-Time-Dependent Auxiliary Density Functional Theory (RT-TD-ADFT). We investigate the use of previously proposed absorption boundary conditions (ABC) in the molecular orbital space to treat secondary electron emission. Basis set and exchange correlation functional effects with ABC are reported as well as a detailed analysis of the ABC parametrization. Preliminary results on the water molecule and then on TBP show that the phenomenological nature of the ABC parameters necessitates selecting appropriate values for each system under study. Irradiation of free and complexed TBP shows an influence of the ligands on the variation of atomic charges on the femtosecond time scale. An accumulation of atomic charges in the alkyl chains of TBP is observed in the case where the nitrate groups are predominantly irradiated. In addition, we find that the Pu atom regains its electric charge very rapidly after being hit by the projectile, with the coordination sphere serving as an electron reservoir to preserve its formal redox state. This study paves the road toward a full understanding of the degradation of organic extracants employed in the nuclear industry.

ДО ПИТАННЯ ПРО ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ ОБ’ЄКТНОПРЕДМЕТНОГО СКЛАДУ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОГО КОНСТИТУЦІОНАЛІЗМУ

The article examines the theoretical issues and problems of defining the object-subject composition of ecological constitutionalism, as an actual, qualitatively new phenomenon of international legal life and national constitutional-legal reality, systemic and complex phenomenology, which is the result of an integrative and synthetic combination of various factors-tendencies of national constitutional and international legal regulation in conditions of legal globalization. Such an approach is seen as a rather difficult task within the limits of both the modern theory of constitutional law and the modern theory of international law, which operates with a number of new concepts and definitions that indicatively and identifiably reflect the latest trends in state and international development - "human rights in their national and international measurement" , "international legal standards of human rights and freedoms", "global legal trends - trends of state and international development", "soft law", "fundamental principles of international public law and the expansion of their number", "dichotomy of local and global development", finally, "constitutionalization of international law and internationalization of the constitutional legal order of states." It is noted that this is determined, first of all, by powerful horizontal-vertical connections of a managerial nature that arise within the state and its society, functioning in the conditions of global constitutionalism, that is, in the conditions of the presence of general methodological approaches, principles and norms, management paradigms that determine the prospects for the general and further development of the fundamental subjects of general international law, as well as the same functional and methodological approaches to the implementation of domestic and international legal activities of public authorities in relation to the fundamental dominants of the development of statehood - the priority of human rights over the rights of the state, recognition of human rights as fundamental indicators democratic activity of the state and the international community, the principle of the rule of law as the fundamental basis of the connection of the state and its public authority by law, etc. It is proved that solving the question of determining the object-subject composition of ecological constitutionalism is characterized by a number of methodological difficulties. These include, first of all, the issue of clear understanding, interpretation and identification of the categories "object of legal regulation" and "subject of legal regulation". It is also complicated by the innovative and synthetic nature of environmental constitutionalism, which is independently determined by international legal institutions on the basis of relevant identification features. Taking into account the system-complex nature of profile phenomenology, its object is a set of social relations related to the protection and protection of the environment, as well as the rights of a person to the environment, which has an appropriate and safe condition for his life activities. The subject of legal regulation of environmental constitutionalism is social relations that are directly or indirectly related to the environment. Based on the fact that the environment is the fundamental natural space of human life, such relations can be characterized as global, but with the obligatory local, local-regional, regional, state-wide, interstate, macro-regional, global understanding, measured and implemented.

Urbino belonging: Exploring place-based community heritage with digital & participatory methods

ABSTRACT What we understand and choose as heritage is a question rooted in our individual and collective notions of identity and feelings of community. Critical heritage studies highlight the links between heritage and recognition, emotions, and the everyday lives of people and communities. We introduce a methodology for a digitally facilitated and participatory study of place-based community heritage. Inspired by Participatory Data Design and Photovoice methodologies, the Urban Belonging App enables participants to communicate phenomenological aspects of urban spaces by sharing, signifying, and evaluating pictures of familiar places in the city. A quali-quantitative analysis of the app’s data best exploits its multi-dimensionality: the characteristic of being both countable and measurable and semantically rich and relational. The case study illustrates how the methodology is used to study community heritage in an exploratory and descriptive way. Most valued and recognised heritage places, as well as less conventional understandings of heritage in Urbino, Italy, are identified. Two participants show how heritage differently embeds with everyday experiences, memories, and feelings of community. Its adaptability and ability to capture the contested and phenomenological nature of heritage and to operationalise complex definitions of community qualify the methodology to enable systematic research on bottom-up, situated heritage values.

The Phenomenological Model of Dogmatic Theology? Insights from Jean-Luc Marion

The subject of this article is the applicability of Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology to dogmatic theology. The article first presents Marion's views on phenomenology. It then analyses three theological strands relevant to it: the author's conception of Revelation as a saturated phenomenon, Christology and Trinitarian theology. Marion proposes to theology a broader coalition with phenomenology, claiming that because of the phenomenological nature of Revelation, it is phenomenology that constitutes the most appropriate methodological instrumentarium for it. This paper examines the consequences and problems of adopting such a position in dogmatic theology, particularly the ambivalence of Marion's gesture of abrogation of metaphysics.

Are Self-transcendent Emotions One Big Family? An Empirical Taxonomy of Positive Self-transcendent Emotion Labels

In the past decade, there has been a growing amount of research on so-called self-transcendent emotions, mainly in the domain of positive emotions. However, most candidate self-transcendent emotions (e.g., Awe, Gratitude, Being Moved, Wonder) have been studied in isolation, leaving the commonalities and the differences of their phenomenology unknown. In the present paper, we sought to identify the phenomenological nature of main families of self-transcendent emotions. We drew on two large datasets (N1 = 3,113; N2 = 1,443) in which participants had to recall an emotional episode or to watch emotional videos and had to report their emotions through a list of 40 emotion labels. Participants were also presented with a large list of items probing their cognitive appraisals, bodily feelings, and action tendencies. Using a principal component analysis, we identified three main dimensions of positive emotions: hedonic, social, and epistemic states. Candidate self-transcendent emotions were distributed across two dimensions, suggesting that at least two main different families of self-transcendent emotions should be distinguished. Our results also allowed us to identify self-reported cognitive appraisals, bodily feelings, and action tendencies characteristic of each family.

Robust adaptive sliding mode observer for core temperature and state of charge monitoring of Li-ion battery: A simulation study

State of charge (SOC) and temperature monitoring of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) via battery management system (BMS) is crucial to ensure proper and secure performance of LIBs. Monitoring methods based on electrochemical models are highly accurate, which stems from their phenomenological nature; however, such multi-dimensional and rigorous models are computationally time-consuming and elaborate to implement. Consequently, a relatively accurate but more straight-forward estimation method with fast computational capabilities is needed in real-life BMS applications. In this work, an equivalent circuit model (ECM) together with a lumped thermal model has been considered as design model for an online adaptive sliding mode observer. This observer uses measurement of battery terminal voltage and surface temperature in order to estimate SOC and core temperature, both of which play decisive role in BMS applications. The proposed observer performance has been validated in constant current and urban dynamometer driving schedule (UDDS) load profile experiments, where inspection of results overwhelmingly indicates its utmost stability as well as robust performance in comparison with commonly used observers.

Understanding the Distraction and Distraction Mitigation Factors and Their Relationship with the Procrastination of Master’s and Doctoral Students in Administration

The lack of studies on academic procrastination caused by distractions in the context of social isolation, during the COVID-19 pandemic, motivated the study that sought to answer: How do master’s and doctoral students perceive distraction and distraction mitigation factors in about your procrastinating behavior? Aiming to understand the distraction and attention mitigation factors that influence procrastinating behavior in the postgraduate academic context. This is qualitative research of phenomenological nature. The study participants are twenty-four students, twelve master’s students representing about 23% of the universe, and twelve doctoral students, corresponding to approximately 21% of the universe. Based on a literature review, a theoretical framework developed that allowed comparison with the earlier analysis categories and the data collected in the semi-structured interviews. The topics Academic Distraction Factors (ADF) and Academic Distraction Mitigation (ADM) generated 583 citations, finding sixty-one codes or subcodes. The lack of planning and work outside presented as complicating factors that lead to academic procrastination. Suitable time management and the use of tools to help manage learning are good allies in mitigating distractions.
