Further smart technologies are mediator and training/ skill development is moderator.

MARTIN HEIDEGGER’S METAPHYSICAL QUESTION OF 1929-1930: GENESIS AND CONSEQUENCES

The article examines the foundations that constitute the formulation of the metaphysical question in Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. The article focuses in detail on the period of 1929-1930, which includes the report “Was ist Metaphysik?” and the lecture course “Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik. Welt–Endlichkeit–Einsamkeit”. The introduction to the article and the main problem are three prejudices from Being and Time that make it impossible to ask a clear question about being. The main material is presented on the basis of primary sources: “Being and Time”, “Basic Concepts of Metaphysics”. The peculiarity of Heidegger’s work of the 1929s and 1930s is the approximation of the research methodology in the 1927 treatise to the present. Phenomenological hermeneutics and fundamental ontology were used in relation to the ancient Greeks to develop a metaphysics of ciphers or special words in which Heidegger concentrated the Greek experience of being. During the 1930s, Heidegger would make an effort to realize this experience by looking for points of intersection between Greeks and Germans in German idealism and poetry. Since the Greeks are ruled by aeon (temporal time) and agon (the spirit of competition), modern metaphysics needs to develop a special concept of being that would distinguish who Germans are, where they came from, and where they are going. The article proposes a distinction between higher being - divine, human life-world – social, human essence – cultural, working, shepherd. Being, being and man are subject to metaphysical questioning as the most general concepts. That is, those that immediately or a priori express a certain clarity. Nihilism, as the spirit of the time, demands that metanarratives be questioned and self-evidence be reassessed. An outstanding achievement of Heidegger’s metaphysical question is the distinction being as Seyn. The nationalist or folk Old German definition of being both frees it from academic requirements and accurately captures the open horizon in which the existence of the first half of the 20th century was frozen. Since this essence of man is presented after the linguistic turn, it lacks the main feature of the turn-a specific linguistic ability or words that clarify being. The article aims to study Martin Heidegger’s metaphysical teaching in the 1929-1930s. The article concludes that the metaphysics of the above-mentioned years of Heidegger’s philosophy reveals itself in parallel with the spirit of the time of the then German conservative revolution. As we know, Martin Heidegger did not remove the question of being and selected names for it, because he was looking for an appropriated lawn and a boundary, beyond which the exit to the lawn opens. This article offers a look at this problematic in the contextual name of metaphysic – Seyn.

Learning With an Open Horizon in Ever-Changing Dialogue Circumstances

从文化生态主义来看儒家生命精神与性命合一的境界

The essay pays attention to an argument of cultural ecologism concerning the Neo-Confucian life-spirit and its sustainable horizon of unifying human nature and mandate, especially focusing upon Zhang-zai's model of qi doctrine. The keyword is “cultural ecologism” in which the principle of life and the value of morality are integrated in the grand stream of the life spirit of universe. Stemming from a reciprocal unity of ecology and culture, it can be characteristic of a conceptual framework as the organic structure of culture circumstances. For Neo-Confucianists, the reality of world is in the steam of myriad things under heaven and on earth. It is a coherent whole with a certain origin and unitary processes in the ecological circle of Nature. The process of maintaining the sustainability of culture within this world view can be approached from the holistic unity of “one force and its multiple manifestations.” It works implicitly as the basis for positing a unified total system to share a common way of thinking within the Neo-Confucian culture. Zhang-zai presents the doctrine of qi ontology as “one vital force and its many manifestations” to identically unify the Heavenly and the Humane. All the things of the world naturally form types with each other according to their apportionment of one yin and one yang. In their concrete manifestations, according to the thinking way of bentilun, things may have multiple distinctions and perform many different roles, but the principle remains unitary in that their differences are reciprocally related within a unifying system. This world view is closely associated with the process of sustainably cultivating the human virtue in operations of Confucian cultural ecologism. He incessantly seeks to institutionalize the moral canon of classical Confucianism on the triple line, namely, an identification of yiwuliangti, a succession of minbaowuyu, and an extension of xingmingheyi, which make a unity of coherence, interconnectedness and wholeness. As cultural beings with beliefs and values, human beings live their lives in complicated social networks. Consequently, the ecologismic concept of culture preserves as an open horizon of coexistence and cooperation for newly emergent order within an integral relationship of person and community.

George Santayana i problem wolności

This article is a commentary and an introduction to the Polish translation of George Santayana’s work, Freedom, which is a chapter in the fourth volume of his series, The Realms of Being, titled The Realm of Spirit (1940). It provides an overview of hisprevious works, particularly his series The Life of Reason (1905–1906) and Scepticism and Animal Faith (1926). Additionally, it briefly examines the evolution of Santayana’s standpoint and the meaning of the fundamental categories and concepts of his ontology. The analysis of Freedom, along with a comparison to the standpoints of Nicolai Hartmann and Hannah Arendt, enables us to classify it as a form of compatibilism. Within this perspective, natural determinism harmonizes with the teleological self-determination of human will. Human freedom, directed towards an open horizon of the future, unveils an essential tragic aspect of human condition, as the choice of a value is perpetually linked to unfulfillment. Ultimately, any value resides in the realm of ideals, and by making a choice, we neglect other values and select only one of the potential paths in our lives.

Optimization Algorithm and Genetic Coding Method for an Oilfield Development Plan Considering Production Constraints

For heterogeneous reservoirs that develop due to water flooding, the increased degree of flooding will cause unbalanced displacement, and there are large areas of residual oil enrichment in the reservoir. In this paper, a genetic coding method for oilfield development plan optimization that considers production constraints is proposed. This method considers the constraints of well location, oil and water well type, the open horizon and its combination, water injection volume, and the liquid production index in the actual oilfield development design. On the basis of genetic algorithms and the individual quality inspection method, a program for regulating and optimizing the overall development index of reservoirs was developed. A comprehensive optimization calculation was carried out for the H block. In the process of executing the algorithm, invalid schemes of 16.6–20.2% were eliminated, crude oil recovery increased by 5.56%, and the water cut decreased by 1.81%. The research results show that, compared with a conventional oil and water well production and development plan for an oilfield, this program can greatly improve efficiency and promote the automatic optimization of the overall development index of the reservoir, which is in line with the actual situation of the oilfield.

Educational Perspective: AI, Deep Learning, and Creativity

Can artificial intelligence (AI) teach and learn more creatively than humans? The article analyses deep learning theory, which follows a deterministic model of learning, since every intellectual procedure of an artificial agent is supported by concrete neural connections in an artificial neural network. Meanwhile, human creative reasoning follows a non-deterministic model. The article analyses Bayes’ theorem, in which a reasoning system makes judgments about the probability of future events based on events that have happened to it. Meillassoux’s open probability and M. A. Boden’s three types of creativity are discussed. A comparison is made between the a priori algorithm of the Turing machine and a playing child, who invents new a posteriori algorithms while playing. The Heideggerian perspective on the co-creativity of humans and thinking machines is analyzed. The authors conclude that humans have an open horizon for teaching and learning, and that makes them superior with respect to creativity in an educational perspective.

The impurity of praxis: Arendt and Agamben

If politics is understood as a foundational and open-ended activity, a general problem that arises from such a framing concerns the question of how to sustain the possibility of continuous openings without converting action into permanence and closure. In this article, we approach this problematic by treating Hannah Arendt as an exemplary figure in the current of political thought that emphasizes the indeterminate nature of action. We focus more specifically on how Arendt addressed the question of sustaining action by exploring the role of forgiveness, promises, divided power, and principles of action in her thought. While we show that the task of sustaining the indeterminacy of action partly remains an unresolvable paradox for Arendt, a general force underpinning the thought of Giorgio Agamben sheds new light on this paradox. Rather than affirming radical openness and pure praxis as such, Agamben’s work helps accentuate the need of a certain contamination of praxis by its own limit or apparent opposite. Importantly, this allows us to interpret Arendt and the paradoxical task of bestowing some degree of permanence to the open horizon of political action in a decidedly positive light: that praxis implies a moment of impurity is the very force that sustains it without sacrificing its indeterminate nature.

Investigation of determining the accuracy of spatial vectors by the satellite method in a real time mode

Abstract The study of determining the accuracy of spatial vectors by the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in real time (RTK) was conducted. The possibility of construction of precision geodetic networks by the combined method of static and RTK GNSS measurements which correspond to the set accuracy and reach the maximum economic efficiency is investigated. A technique providing the densification of GNSS network and the use of two simultaneously operating GNSS receivers (Rover) is proposed. The research was carried out at the points of the GNSS network of Dnister Pumped Storage Power Plant (PSPP) (Ukraine). As a result of comparison of reference and measured elements of vectors, it was found that the average absolute error in determining the spatial distance of 14 vectors was 5.3 mm. Rejection of vectors with a closed horizon reduced the error to 2.1 mm. The vectors are most accurately determined from two satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS) and from a single base station. The recommended distance to the base station is within one kilometer. Increasing the accuracy by 75 % in determining the vector by the proposed method in RTK mode is also shown. As a result of a posteriori optimization of combined GNSS networks, high accuracy on the reliability of vectors determined by the method in RTK mode was confirmed. The technique can be used to construct precision networks, to carry out repeated measurements for the monitoring of large engineering structures with an open horizon.

Experimental 2D extended Kalman filter sensor fusion for low-cost GNSS/IMU/Odometers precise positioning system

The development of satellite techniques and the availability of mobile devices with built-in multi-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers allow the determination of position with increasing accuracy. At the same time, the requirements of users as to the accuracy of positioning are increasing, while the low production costs of the device must be maintained. This paper presents a loosely coupled integration of low-cost sensors (GNSS, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and an odometer) with the use of a nonlinear Kalman filter and a dynamic weight matrix. The integration model was developed for horizontal (2D) components with the simultaneous determination of the azimuth of the test platform. The tests were carried out in the conditions of an open horizon, with partial obscuring of the horizon (passage under an open-work steel structure) and along walls. In this way, the working conditions for an autonomous lawn mower, which are now increasingly used by citizens, were simulated. The position accuracy obtained in these tests is better than 5 cm for horizontal components and better than 1 degrees for the azimuth.

Dimensions of Temporal Orientation and Its Relationship to Mental Health among Baghdad University Faculty Staff

The importance of the great role of the temporal orientation variable on mental health in the writing of (Mosing 1989) that there is an importance factor for the high injury rate of implement illnesses for the contemporary which relates to consciousness . And thus one of the most importance manifestations of this process is the sense of Time and the way of interacting with it, and the ability individuals to adapt to the Time variables crucial to social life it is better for those who have an open horizon and are more resilience in the in Time perspectives which enhances the positive aspects of their personalities, therefore, the problem of the current research stem from disclosure on the relationship of dimensions of the temporal perspective to the mental health among the faculty staff of the University , and Knowing which of these Time orientations have statistically significant contribution to mental health. The aim of the current research is to measure the dimensions of temporal orientation (the pleasant present, the inevitable present, the positive past, the negative past, and the future) and measure mental health among the faculty staff of the University of Baghdad. A sample of (160) faculty staff, consisting of (68) males and (92) females, and after analyzing the results using the T-score, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The research concluded that the percentage of individuals who have a high level of orientation towards the present pleasant is less than the percentage of those who have a level of low, and that the proportion of individuals who have a high level of orientation towards the inevitable present is higher than those who have a low level, and that the proportion of individuals who have a high level of orientation towards the positive past is higher than those who have a weak orientation, and the proportion of individuals who have a low level A high level of negative orientation towards the past is lower than the percentage of those who have a weak orientation, while the percentage of those who have a high level of orientation towards the future is equal to the percentage of those who have a low level, and the level of mental health is low. The result founded that there is a positive direct relationship between (the pleasant present, the positive past, and the future) and mental health, while it appeared that the relationship was inversely significant between the negative past and mental health, and the trend towards the future only appeared to directly contribute to mental health.

Progress and modernity: the problem with autonomy

The idea of modernity is inextricably tied up with the one of progress. One mainreason for this connection is that the late eighteenth century, often consideredto be the onset of modernity, was in Europe also seen as the dawn of a newsociety evolving according to a different logic than any preceding one, namelywith an open horizon of future possibilities. This article explores the meaning ofthis opening by first looking at the elaboration of what is called here a “strongconcept of progress”, based on the connection between autonomy and reason,and by subsequently confronting this concept with the historical experienceswith progress. This confrontation helps to understand the transformations in theexpectations of progress from the middle of the nineteenth to the middle of thetwentieth century. As a result a more nuanced view of the relation betweenprogress and modernity will be proposed that can be fruitful for assessing ourcurrent expectations of progress in the context of contemporary modernity.

How Do We Inhabit Openness?: Rethinking Volunteerism in the Context of Whole Person Education

— In this paper, I aim to advance a reframing of our understanding of “whole persons” in the well-established paradigm of Whole Person Education. At a time characterized by rising social conflicts and schisms, what would be an appropriate humanistic reimagination of a so-called well-rounded person? Drawing on the work of anthropologist Tim Ingold and using youth volunteerism as an exemplar of social practice, I propose the idea that a whole person, if achievable, is someone who inhabits “the open” as an unfolding, interconnecting, vibrant, and enjoyable horizon. Further, it is suggested that this open horizon moves with, and is moved by, strangers. It is hoped that an epistemology of the open that embraces stranger relationality, in the form of volunteerism or any other related social practices, will help us move toward a new whole personhood.

HEE and HSC for flavors: perturbative structure in open string geometries

Introduction of electric field in the D-brane worldvolume induces a horizon in the open string geometry perceived by the brane fluctuations. We study the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) and subregion complexity (HSC) in these asymptotically AdS geometries in three, four and five dimensions aiming to capture these quantities in the flavor sector introduced by the D-branes. Both the strip and spherical subregions have been considered. We show that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy associated with the open string horizon, which earlier failed to reproduce the thermal entropy in the boundary, now precisely matches with the entanglement entropy at high temperatures. We check the validity of embedding function theorem while computing the HEE and attempt to reproduce the first law of entanglement thermodynamics, at least at leading order. On the basis of obtained results, we also reflect upon consequences of applying Ryu-Takayanagi proposal on these non-Einstein geometries.

TERMINOLOGY OF THE OF TRADITIONAL MOROCCAN AMAZIGH POETRY : LEXICAL RICHNESS OR TERMINOLOGICAL DISORDER ?

The Amazigh poetic achievement represents an open horizon on the fabric of history and the collective life of Moroccans, and through its various manifestations it is a celebration of nature and the organic connection with its major norms and rituals. The multiplicity that characterizes its terminology embodies the mosaic of the Berber environment with its fertility and sweetness ... Therefore, it delves into the pleasure of expression, glorifies the causes of life and embraces its objects and symbols. However, the most important thing that attracts the attention of the linguistic researcher, which intends to carry out scientific research in the terminology of Amazigh poetry, is the scarcity of studies and research that have dealt with this level. Most of them stopped studying this aspect, and did not address it extensively or adequately, explaining its paradoxes, and defining its major articulations, despite the great importance and the fundamental place it occupies in modern Amazigh linguistic and literary studies ... Many linguistic and geographic reasons were not examined. One of the terms that may appear, at first glance, be indicative of the same meaning. The fact is that there are wide dialectal, semantic and technical differences between them. The matter here relates to concepts such as : “Tamdyazt”, “Izli”, “Tayffart” and “Tamawayt” ... as the search is often limited to the first concept without specifying the adjacent terms, nor highlighting the differences and combining them. The researcher in the Amazigh tongue in general, and in the poetic term in particular, faces a terminological chaos and a great conceptual confusion. This increases the difficulty of researching the topic and limits the scientific results reached. Then this paper comes to shed light on some of the components of its terminological structure, and to address some semantic and pragmatic issues related to it dialectally, geographically, and ethnologically.

Practical Methods of GIS for Archaeologists: Viewshed Analysis – The Kingdom of Pylos example

Visibility (or Viewshed) Analysis in archeology is a function given through GIS, in purpose to contribute in the field of archaeology and especially in landscape archeology, by reconstituting the visual panorama of a study area of the past. The concept of landscape archeology is a multidimensional research process that is not limited to archaeologists but places a special emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach. Mycenaean Messenia was the area of study and analysis of the visual panorama for two important reasons. First of all, it is a large area, which presents territories of varying heterogeneity in terms of morphology, while having a large sea front and an open observation horizon. Secondly, it is one of the continental regions of the Mycenaean period, which has evoked the largest number of residential facilities, structures and tombs, and also has been extensively studied by archaeologists since the 1920s. The main aim of this paper is to make an effort to identify archaeological information, through the bibliographic references of the archaeologists who studied the area, with the GIS visibility analysis. For that reason, the author tries for those residential locations that have been assigned a role or function of the site by archaeologists, such as an observation station, to be controlled in parallel and on the basis of new technologies (GIS and Viewshed Analysis) if this view is verified.

Oral cavity: An open horizon for nanopharmaceuticals

Oral administration is the primary route employed for drug delivery. In addition to the gastrointestinal tract, the oral cavity has been drawing considerable attention owing to its physiological properties and advances in drug carrier development. Notably, nanotechnology has made immense contributions to enhancing drug bioavailability, stability, and efficacy, both in research and clinical settings. The present review comprises lessons from physiological characteristics to fundamental material science knowledge, summarizing the pros and cons of nanotechnology applications in therapeutic drug delivery. The oral cavity presents inherent challenges, including oral cancer, dental caries, oral infection, or oral inflammation, that necessitate local solutions. Simultaneously, the vascular system under the tongue and in the buccal region offers a portal for systemic drug absorption. Among available delivery systems, nanoparticle-based drug delivery, with the oral cavity as the action or absorption site, can be developed as a principal dosage formulation. Although convenience and fast onset might be advantageous, additional studies are warranted for preclinical characterization, especially in animal models, and for determining manufacturing competence, prior to human trials to meet standards in clinical settings.

José Carlos Mariátegui, el incómodo Amauta. A 90 años de su partida

En este artículo propongo una lectura del proyecto político e intelectual de José Carlos Mariátegui, una de las contribuciones más originales y desconocidas del pensamiento revolucionario latinoamericano a la construcción del marxismo. Un campo abierto de praxis anticapitalista, ajeno a toda sacralización y dogmatismo; horizonte abierto del sentir, pensar y actuar en los desafíos cambiantes de los escenarios de historicidad. El artículo señala el esfuerzo de Mariátegui para hacer del marxismo una teoría revolucionaria, que no fuera “calco ni copia, sino creación heroica” y que sirviera para construir un camino socialista en el Perú a partir de las bases materiales del comunismo indiano en diálogo crítico con las corrientes de pensamiento y acción política revolucionarias de su tiempo, planteamiento que no fue bien recibido por los organizadores latinoamericanos de la Internacional Comunista y que Mariátegui, debido a su muerte prematura, no pudo continuar y materializar.
