RETURN OF DEVELOPMENT: A POLYCENTRIC WORLD IN SEARCH OF A NEW EXISTENTIAL PARADIGM

The article examines the evolution of the theories of socio-economic modernization at the end of the XX – first quarter of the XXI century. In the last century, creative rivalry took place between three main ideological and theoretical trends – West-centrist, national-statist and left-wing radical. The difficulties of transforming the complex socio-economic structure of transitional societies have predetermined the gradual loss of the influence of the West-centrist trend and the increasing importance of national-statist and left-wing radical сurrents of thought in the system of knowledge about developing countries. The “truncated globalization” and the “Washington consensus” resulted in the collapse of the monocentric world order and put the development paradigm at the center of the search for a new model of human evolution. Today, development is objectively becoming an imperative for the modernization of all societies, including those of the industrialized nations. The “Development agenda” is, therefore, emerging as an important precondition for the formation of a new, polycentric model of international relations, which is based on the principles of dialogue and interaction between States and civilizations.

Connectivity: Person-Centred Research Principles to Inform Constructivist Grounded Theory

Person-centred approaches to practice recognise the global call to humanise healthcare, where people are valued and their preferences and needs are respected (WHO, 2015). Researchers must also embrace person-centred approaches to further inform person-centredness as the foundation of healthcare policy and practice. Healthcare researchers, policymakers, leaders, educators, and multi-disciplinary practitioners are invited to consider how person-centred methodologies enhance the value and authenticity of research. Person-centred research principles to guide researchers are available (Dewing et al., 2021; McCormack et al., 2017), and one approach proposes an overarching research principle of connectivity; the being, doing, and knowing of the researcher throughout the development, implementation, and dissemination of the research study (Jacobs et al., 2017). An exploration of the principles of attentiveness and dialogue, empowerment and participation, critical reflexivity, and loving kindness that inform connectivity (Jacobs et al., 2017; van Leishout & Peelo-Kilroe, 2021) is presented here. No single methodology is associated with person-centred research, and researchers are encouraged to consider how to incorporate person-centred principles in many different contexts. This paper explores the innovative use of person-centred principles to underpin a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) study illuminating the person-centred nursing process of engaging authentically (McCormack & McCance, 2021). Synergies and connections between the person-centred research principles and Charmaz’s CGT approaches are explored, and further considerations are highlighted. We contend that person-centred research principles support CGT research, explicitly building on Charmaz’s relational approaches and enabling a rigorous foundation for engaging in research, where valuing and respect are central.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIALOGUE AND COEXISTENCE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TORAH, THE GOSPEL AND THE HOLY QUR’AN: PRESENTATION AND CRITICISM

The researcher sought to study the nature of the dialogue of religions and what are its reasons and objectives and its relationship to coexistence, and then clarify the dialogue of religions in the Torah, the Bible and the Holy Quran. Among the most prominent results obtained through the study is that the issue of interfaith dialogue is found in some texts of the Torah and is inconsistent with other Jewish biblical rulings that call for peoples' discord and differentiation and incite against peoples. The Jews, their personality and their history are incompatible with the issue of dialogue. The issue of interreligious dialogue is not incompatible with the Bible. On the contrary, the Bible emphasized the principle of dialogue with others, defined its etiquette, and sought to overcome social, political and religious barriers. The most prominent forms of dialogue in Christianity are: the dialogue of coexistence and the dialogue of missionary (evangelization). As for the position of the Holy Qur’an on dialogue and the principle of coexistence, it has a positive role. There are explicit texts indicating the legitimacy of religious dialogue, its conditions and etiquette, and that the dialogue of religions in the Qur’an has four levels as follows (calling, arguing, mubahala, and disavowal)

Genesis hermeneutics: Agar the slave woman who gives a name to god

Hagar is a woman and a slave, she is also a foreigner, an expatriate and the surrogate of Sara, Abraham's legitimate wife. However, Hagar and later her son Ishmael would underestimate Sara and Isaac, triggering their own escape and exclusion twice into the desert. The text develops a hermeneutic analysis, recognizing that any attempt at interpretation is a principle of dialogue whose objective is reflection on the relationship between the human being (Agar) and God, overcoming all social, ethnic or gender barriers. God exists for the ordinary human because that God is sensitive to his own being, to his own misery. It is the God who sees me, who redeems me, who exempts me from death.

Normative and legal regulation of social dialogue in the field of work

The article is devoted to issues of normative and legal regulation of social dialogue in the sphere of labor in Ukraine. Since the formation of a market economy and a civilized transition to the market are impossible without the functioning of an effective system of social dialogue. It is the social dialogue that should act as a way of civilized coordination of the interests of different groups when resolving the contradictions that arise and preventing conflicts in the socio-economic and labor spheres. Its effective development is one of the conditions for the European integration of Ukraine. Having analyzed the current legislation on labor, on collective contracts and agreements, special legal literature on social dialogue, a conclusion was made about the imperfection of the regulatory and legal regulation of social dialogue, which reduces the effectiveness and efficiency of social dialogue in the field of labor. For example, in the Law of Ukraine “On Social Dialogue in Ukraine” the definition of social dialogue is imperfect, the list of social dialogue bodies and the list of organizational and legal forms of social dialogue in the sphere of labor is incomplete, the place and legal status of social dialogue bodies in the sphere of labor also needs to be properly defined , who are participants in such relations, etc. The current Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine, draft Labor Codes do not contain special norms on social dialogue in the field of labor. Taking into account the legislative experience of foreign countries, the positions of domestic scientists, it is proposed to supplement the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine, the draft Labor Code of Ukraine with a separate chapter “Social dialogue in the sphere of labor”, in which norms on the main provisions on social dialogue in the sphere of labor, including a list of institutional principles of social dialogue in the field of work with definition of their concept and content. At the same time, positive points in this direction were noted, in particular, the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Collective Agreements and Contracts” and the creation of a working group to develop a draft law on collective labor disputes. Since the question of improving the legislation of Ukraine on social dialogue and collective labor disputes and its adaptation to the legislation of the European Union is more timely than ever.

Le religioni nell’età della globalizzazione del mondo

The time of globalization is also changing the very experience of religions, imposing on them a principle of mutual knowledge, respect and dialogue. Still condition, unfortunately, very thin but... right.

Инструментальный концерт в творчестве Бента Сёренсена

In the musical output of the modern Danish composer Bent Sørensen, the genre of the instrumental concerto occupies the leading position. The composer has written eight concertos, as well as a number of orchestral works in which particular solo instruments stand out. Based on their analysis, the article reveals the composer’s approach to this genre and the possibility of maintaining it. One of the characteristic features of Sørensen’s concerto works is the programmatic quality. The composer’s works are united by common themes of decay, disappearance, as well as reflection of musical culture, which leads to a saturation of the musical material by means of various stylistic allusions. The unified conceptual sphere gives rise to the phenomenon of connections between different musical works in the output of the Danish composer, while the stylistic juxtapositions, as well as the contrasts of the heterogeneous material in terms of timbre and texture embody the principle of dialogue, which is characteristic of the genre of the concerto. The programmatic quality determines the variety of compositional solutions of Sørensen’s concertos, in which connection, it is proposed to differentiate all of his compositions into two categories: one is represented by compositional models that preserve or revise the concerto form (for example, the Violin Concerto, the Clarinet Concerto, the Third Piano Concerto), and the other demonstrates models, each one focusing on an individual project (for example, the First Piano Concerto, the Accordion Concerto, the Harpsichord Concerto, etc.). In the latter case, elements of instrumental theater are often introduced into the concerto genre. One specific means of dramaturgy in Sørensen’s concerto opuses is the technique of transformation of the timbre and acoustics of the sound sphere, which involves changing the means of playing, the instruments or the sound sources (for example, a transition of the functioning of the orchestral musicians to singing and playing harmonicas in the Accordion Concerto, the transition from playing tremolo to creating sounds on sandpaper blocks in the composition Mignon — Papillons, the substitution of acoustic sound with tape recording in the Clarinet Concerto). The provided analysis allows us to arrive at the conclusion that the sphere of the instrumental concerto forms a single musical-semantic space in Sørensen’s musical output, which is endowed with its own personal characteristic features.

The Journey to Dialogic Self in Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook and The Diary of a Good Neighbour

The Golden Notebook (1962) and The Diary of a Good Neighbour (1983) by Doris Lessing are two novels providing insight into the perceptions of their protagonists, Anna and Janna, regarding life and self. When approached from the dialogic standpoint of Russian linguist and literary theorist Mikhail M. Bakhtin, both novels are notable with respect to the conflicts they issue between the self as a monologic outcome of life experiences, and the necessity felt for moving towards a dialogic conceptualization of self, and hence, of life. While addressing the one-sided observation an individual performs in the way she understands her self and surroundings, the novels carry a scrutinizing aspect to the psychological and social impacts of this monologic demeanor. This paper reveals how, in Lessing’s two novels, Bakhtin’s dialogic principle, and based on this, a concept of dialogic self is applicable. Analyzing the protagonists’ relations with their selves, it argues that their monologic interactions with the self and the world evolve into living, dialogic ones fed by their new perceptions.

Harmonizing Modern and Indigenous Democracy: An Exploration of Traditional Democratic Values in Ethnic Communities of Indonesia

The extended journey towards both economic and political modernization within Indonesia's democratic framework has led to a transformation of its society into an industrialized community. However, this change has largely failed to boost the economic prospects of the general populace. Moreover, the turbulent nature of Indonesia's democratic evolution has not aligned well with the principles of open dialogue and inclusive discussion, as advocated by its foundational philosophy, Pancasila. Over the last 15 years, the amalgamation of development-oriented politics and political liberalization has exerted a detrimental impact on the nation's unique cultural identity and wisdom. The upcoming research aims to revisit and revitalize the indigenous political ideologies and social values held by various ethnic groups and community structures in Indonesia. The objective is to shed light on the unexplored potential of social capital to enhance the quality of the country's democratic governance. The research will focus on two main categories for its case study: Firstly, it will delve into ethnic groups, concentrating specifically on the Wajo and Minang communities; Secondly, it will study communities that are active in a number of urban parks across the Java region. The study is rooted in the theoretical framework of consultative democracy and will utilize qualitative research methods interpreted through the lens of political anthropology to obtain nuanced, context-rich insights.

The Church and the Quest for Peaceful and Credible Elections in Ghana

The article is a critical reflection on the role of the church in the search for credible and peaceful elections in Ghana. Ghana has had eight general elections under the 4th Republic since 1992. The elections have been characterised by violence, cheating, and loss of property and in some instances lives. The church, civil society organizations, advocacy groups, donor agencies, etc. have played various roles to ensure free, fair, and credible elections. The general elections in Ghana however are not devoid of electoral challenges. The article argues that despite the challenges associated with general elections in Ghana, the church’s contribution over the years is still relevant and inevitable and therefore must be deepened for future general elections. The article pays attention to reports on general elections in Ghana by key organizations like the Electoral Commission of Ghana, the European Union, the African Union, the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO), and the Alliance for Christian Advocacy Africa on elections in Ghana. The article concludes with a recommendation that the church must deepen its programmes, resources, and capacity of its personnel for future elections as the nation keeps searching for lasting solutions to its electoral challenges. The quest for credible and peaceful elections should be done on the principles of dialogue, consensus building, and the very Constitution which governs the nation. The church must deepen its public education, mediation, reconciliation, and spiritual support dimensions to the electoral process. Keywords: Public Theology, African Christianity, Alliance for Christian Advocacy Africa, General Elections in Ghana

МЕТОДИЧНА РОЗРОБКА З АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ МОВИ НА ТЕМУ «ДОЗВІЛЛЯ (КІНО ТА ТЕАТР)» ДЛЯ КУРСАНТІВ ПЕРШОГО РОКУ НАВЧАННЯ СПЕЦІАЛЬНОСТІ «ПСИХОЛОГІЯ» АКАДЕМІЇ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ПЕНІТЕНЦІАРНОЇ СЛУЖБИ

The article deals with the problem of teaching English in cadets of the first year of the “Psychology” specialty at the Academy of the State Penitentiary Service, that is positioned as foreign language education. The latter is considered in terms of formation of a new intercultural consciousness in language users as the ability to see themselves and their interlocutor as speakers of certain cultures, ready to understand a different way of life and thinking, to respect the right to cultural “otherness”, to be tolerant to values and behavioral patterns of another culture, counteract stereotypes and prejudices, rethink one’s own cultural baggage. The paradigm of modern foreign language education is built on the principle of cultures dialogue; critical attitude to established statements; open exchange of ideas based on mutual understanding and respect for cultural diversity. A vision of modern foreign language classes as a source of multicultural information is formulated. The methodical strategies of foreign language learning, which will contribute to the effective formation of cadets’ professional communicative competence and optimize the process of learning a foreign language in groups with different levels of speech preparation, have been defined and substantiated. Psychological and pedagogical and methodical literature on the researched topic is studied and analyzed; empirical methods are applied: purposeful observation of the educational process; interviewing and comparing. Methodical strategies for organizing the work of the first-year cadets majoring in “Psychology” of the Academy of the State Penitentiary Service on the basis of a differentiated approach are proposed. Key words: the English language, cadets of the first year of study, specialty “Psychology”, methodical development, foreign language education.

Partycypacja obywatelska jako wartość konstytucyjna w demokratycznym państwie prawnym

Civic Participation as a Constitutional Value in a Democratic State Governed by the Rule of Law The article presents the idea of civic participation as a value, which, due to its positive aspects, is widely desired by society in a democratic state governed by the rule of law. Participation as a value collectively forms an axiological system. In a constitutional state, the axiological system is normatively expressed in the content of the constitution, within which it takes the form of constitutional norms and principles. Civic participation has been adopted into the Constitution of the Republic of Poland in an indirect manner. A holistic interpretation of the Constitution’s provisions allows it to be interpreted from the overarching systemic principles: the principle of the common good (Article 1) the principle of the democratic state of law (Article 2), the principle of the sovereignty of the Nation (Article 4) and the principle of social dialogue (Article 20). Consequently, civic participation as a constitutional value determines how laws are made. The State has an obligation to introduce and strengthen institutions of civic participation. Civic participation based on civil, political and social rights as well as institutions of social solidarity is an element of a democratic state of law and can be a solution to the problems of contemporary democracy.

New world order: restoration or moral revolution?

The ongoing turbulence in global politics has been accompanied by calls to shift the current order of international relations from a rules-based world towards a multipolar system rooted in international law. Political leaders and commentators, primarily of Russian origin, have often referred to those initiatives as a moral revolution in the current world order. This paper examines the theological and philosophical background behind the ideas that support such a change. The discussion argues that these proposals, though they sound revolutionary, echo the Abrahamic principles of international dialogue drafted by medieval Christian theologians, Reformation thinkers, and Jewish and Islamic religious philosophers. The account stresses that contemporary adherents of the replacement of the rules-based world do not openly refer to religious doctrines. However, the core tenets of the suggested reforms align well with those earlier ethical principles. This conclusion is purely scholarly and contributes to the history of ideas.

«Great geographical discoveries»: the meaning and historical content of the term in the light of the interaction experience of civilizations in the New World

The main question that Humankind was confronted with at the beginning of the Age of Great Discoveries can be spelled out as follows: «Just how is the world shaped?» The subsequent Great Geographical Discoveries showed the true dimension and structure of the surface of the Planet, as well as the real range of diversity of the «World of Humans». And the new knowledge of the shape of the world, in turn, gave rise to the following dilemma: can we surmise any unity of this world, all the great diversity of human cultures notwithstanding, or is such a unity nothing but an illusion? The search for an answer to this question constituted one of the axes of the spiritual life of Humankind in subsequent centuries up to the present day. The crucial point in the search for an answer to the above said question was the Discovery of America. The Meeting of two Worlds brought about the most acute crisis of consciousness on both sides. In the course of ensuing attempts at overcoming the crisis, they discovered new dimensions of their own heritage and new prospects for future life. Two alternative ways of evolution of homo sapiens, essentially different and even opposed, took shape. On the one hand, it was globalization, and on the other hand, it was increased emphasis on the heterogeneity of specific human communities at different levels, being the regional civilizations the most conspicuous ones in this respect. The collision, interweaving and mutual influence of those processes predetermined the main trends of human history over the past five centuries. In Latin America, a special frontier civilizational type has developed, as different from the classical both Western and Oriental models. It embodies more patently the principle of dialogue, which is, according to M. Bakhtin, a distinctive feature of the evolution of homo sapiens in general. This type of civilisation acquires particular importance at the present stage of evolution of the human world, which, on the threshold of the XXI century has entered its new stage, that of uncertainty and instability, the frontier stage.

The Pharmacist Prescriber: A Psychological Perspective on Complex Conversations about Medicines: Introducing Relational Prescribing and Open Dialogue in Physical Health

Pharmacists have traditionally supported the prescribing process, arguably in reactive or corrective roles. The advent of pharmacist prescribing in 2004 represented a major shift in practice, leading to greater responsibility for making clinical decisions with and for patients. Prescribing rights require pharmacists to take a more prescriptive role that will allow them to contribute to long-standing prescribing challenges such as poor medication adherence, overprescribing, and the need for shared decision-making and person-centered care. Central to these endeavors are the development and possession of effective consultation skills. University schools of pharmacists in the UK now routinely include consultation skills training, which is also provided by national education bodies. These challenges remain difficult to overcome, even though it is understood, for example, that increasing the effectiveness of adherence interventions may have a far greater impact on the health of the population than any improvement in specific medical treatments. More recently, a concerted effort has been made to tackle overprescribing and the harm that may occur through the inappropriate use of medication. In routine pharmacy work, these priorities may linger at the bottom of the list due to the busy and complex nature of the work. Solutions to these problems of adherence, optimizing benefits of medication, and overprescribing have typically been pragmatic and structured. However, an arguably reductionist approach to implementation fails to address the complex patient interactions around prescribing and taking medication, and the heterogeneity of the patient's experience, leaving the answers elusive. We suggest that it is essential to explore how person-centered care is perceived and to emphasize the relational aspects of clinical consultations. The development of routine pharmacist prescribing demands building on the core values of person-centered care and shared decision making by introducing the concepts of "relational prescribing" and "open dialogue" to cultivate an essential pharmacotherapeutic alliance to deliver concrete positive patient outcomes. We provide a vignette of how a clinical case can be approached using principles of relational prescribing and open dialogue. We believe these are solutions that are not additional tasks but must be embedded into pharmacy practice. This will improve professional satisfaction and resilience, and encourage curiosity and creativity, particularly with the advent of all pharmacists in Great Britain becoming prescribers at graduation from 2026.

Anticipation dialogs in Vermont's system of mental healthcare: Sustaining the growth of a dialogic practice culture.

Open dialog is both a therapeutic approach and a way of organizing the system of mental healthcare that has been evolving in Finland since the 1980s. In Vermont, over the last decade, there has been an organic statewide effort to begin to integrate dialogic principles into the public system of mental healthcare. Because of the organic nature of these initiatives, there have not been coordinated systemic changes to support dialogic practices. To learn what visions participants in dialogically informed practice contexts have for the future as well as what structural innovations would support these visions anticipation dialogs were offered at three dialogically informed community mental health centers and one public psychiatric. The anticipation dialog was developed in Finland during the late 1980s to aid stuck professional and social networks in finding ways to move forward looking back from an imagined positive future. Twenty-seven multidisciplinary staff members and one service recipient participated in the dialogs. The authors conducted a multi-step process of thematic discourse analysis of all 4 anticipation dialogs. Findings underscore dilemmas entailed in growing a dialogic practice system, including the toll systemic uncertainty takes on workers in the system and the simultaneous pull to offer some amount of open-endedness to the system change process in the spirit of inclusiveness, mutual trust, democracy, and reducing hierarchy. Other key findings influencing sustainability of dialogic practices in community mental health include integrating dialogic work into roles rather than adding them to existing responsibilities. Our experiences indicate that anticipation dialogs may be a way of conducting systemic research that contributes to the forward momentum of system innovation. Offering a greater length of time for organizational anticipation dialogs would be valuable, as would centering the voices of clients and their networks.

Dialogical interaction between family and school: The content aspect

Introduction. The development of modern education is connected with the convergence of social institutions of family and school, involvement of parents in the educational process, and realization of the role and importance of education by parents. The harmonisation of family and school relations is possible if the development of educational relations is based on the principle of dialogue aimed at bringing together the interests of the subjects of education, elaboration of a unified educational strategy and identification of the common values and goals of education. In this regard, it is necessary to discuss a number of issues and problems that require promotion of dialogue between teachers and parents.Aim. The aim of this research is to determine the content of dialogical interaction between teachers and parents in the modern socio-cultural environment of the educational process and the directions of updating the psychological and pedagogical knowledge of parents.Methodology and research methods. To determine the content of the interaction between teachers and parents, the authors used theoretical provisions of philosophical anthropology about the essence of dialogue: the intention of dialogue, the «encounter» views in the process of dialogue and the openness of dialogue. An existential approach was applied to determine the value-semantic foundations of the co-existence of family and school.Results. This study has revealed educational needs of parents that consist in the promotion of dialogue with teachers on the problems of education and upbringing, relations between students in class and between students and teachers. It has also identified the problems of creation of conditions that improve moral and psychological well-being of a child at school, as well as the issues of a child’s development and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Parents view interaction with teachers as coordination of pedagogical attitudes, values and goals of education. The survey reveals the priorities of parents connected with the necessity of perception and comprehension of values and meanings of their own upbringing methods, and the need for enrichment of their psychological and pedagogical background with axiological and practice-focused components.Scientific novelty. The interaction of family and school is analysed in the context of dialogue between parents and teachers, who are subjects of educational relations. The educational choice of parents is connected with the assessment of the meaning of their own upbringing methods via the dialogue with teachers. The authors found that dialogue is a way of subjects’ interaction, which is characterized by mutuality due to their co-existence, incompleteness and openness and preservation of the dialogical nature in the process of interaction. Dialogical interaction between teachers and parents contributes to the development of the common existential educational values – love, freedom and responsibility, and collegiality.Practical significance. The results of the present study can be used by teachers to build a dialogical interaction between family and school. The content of the interaction between the family and the school will allow teachers to plan the topics of consultations, parent conferences, meetings and other forms of interaction.

Use of Twitter during Televised Election Debates: Spanish General Election (28 April 2019) vs. French General Election (24 April 2022)

Social media have become key in political communication, playing a crucial role in election campaigns due to their fast, ubiquitous communication. This paper focuses on the comparison of the use of the social network Twitter in Spanish and French public and commercial television stations, during the last televised debates held during their general elections (2019 and 2022). It seeks to find whether conversation and interaction with their audiences take place, and whether these meet the dialogic principles set forth by Kent and Taylor adapted to Twitter by Ribalko and Seltzer to include usefulness of information, generation of return visits and dialogic loop preservation. To do this, the content of the general Twitter profiles of two French television stations, together with their profiles focused on informative content, were analyzed before, during and after the televised election debate held on 20 April. Likewise, the Twitter profiles corresponding to two Spanish television stations, together with the profiles corresponding to their news programs, were studied before, during and after the televised election debates held on 22 and 23 April. After screening all their posts, those referring to the debate and generating the largest engagement figures were selected, in order to compare the topics covered in the televised debates with those covered in Twitter. The results reveal that the information-focused accounts originate more posts whose content is linked to the televised debates, in contrast with the general accounts. Furthermore, both the unidirectionality of their content, and the lack of dialogue and interaction between these accounts and their audiences, become apparent, in addition to the minimal occurrence of “debate about the debate” flow among users.
