Interpretation of «Khutir’s philosophy» in the novel Liuko Dashvar «RAI. center»

At the beginning of the 21st century, a specific category of the artistic model of «peasantry», which is rooted in a peculiarly Ukrainian «philosophy of the heart» (cordocentrism), gets a new life and moves away from religious interpretation, turning towards national, spiritual, anthropological components. In the metaphilosophical sense and interpretation, Ukrainian cordocentrism is a national philosophy, which in artistic images and theoretical concepts expresses the awareness of human integrity and the understanding of the inseparable unity of man with God, spiritual reality, the transcendent. The study of changes and features of the transformation of this worldview in the work of domestic writers, in particular, Liuko Dashvar, would contribute to the continuity of artistic models traditional for Ukrainian literature. Therefore, there is a need for a thorough study of the features of the artistic interpretation of «khutir’s philosophy» as a specific worldview system in modern Ukrainian literature with taking into account its genre and style trends. Thus, in our study, through the prism of «khutir’s philosophy», an analysis of modern youth and the urban rich was carried out with emphasis on two spaces — the city and the small town. The system of characters is built according to two lines: images from the first,«people from the people» (carriers of true spiritual values), opposed to the immoral world of the city, in particular, those in power (the embodiment of social vices). Accordingly, the space of a district center, a town, a village is opposed to a metropolis as a center of decency and humanity to a space of greed and moral degradation. In the novel, the main worldview modes of the «khutir’s philosophy» are correlated with the system of character images and the organization of the artistic space. It was concluded that in Ukrainian literature, the «khutir’s philosophy» retains its significance as a holistic worldview which is manifested in the problematic of the works, the author’s principles of organization of the characters’ system and the chronotope.

The University of Northern Kuzbass Agglomeration: Campus as a Strategic Bet

The article presents the concept of university campus of Northern Kuzbass agglomeration, emerging in Kuzbass in the context of the region’s transition on the path of sustainable development. The work provides an overview of successful practices in universities’ achieving significant local impact in terms of effective organization of the campus space. The peculiarities of the Russian context of universities’ turning to regions are noted. A hypothesis is formulated about the reasonableness of the regional university betting on development of campus infrastructure, which is supposed to initiate and support new formats of activities and practices as well as internal institutional changes. On the example of creating a world-level campus in Kemerovo there are shown possible changes in the university model, which allow to solve regional problems of supporting agglomerative development. The paper might be of interest as a case study when designing campus infrastructure development in the regions of Russia.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФОРМОТВОРЕННЯ ХРАМОВИХ БУДІВЕЛЬ В ПУБЛІКАЦІЯХ ТА ПЕРІОДИЦІ (суть, значення та проблеми предмету дослідження)

The article analyzes studies and publications on the subject of church architecture, which focus on the planning, volume-spatial features, traditions of the formation and development of wooden and stone church architecture, as well as light, color, material, compositional techniques, and symbolism in the formative vision of the development of Ukrainian church building. Therefore, the problems of the relationship between function and form, architectural form and technique, the problem of the image and the means of its realization, which the architectural form provides, remain relevant to this day. The integral form of an architectural work expresses the peculiarities of its organization and the way it exists in the context of the environment and culture. The form acts as a material embodiment of essential information for the practical activity and spiritual life of people, and as a carrier of aesthetic value and ideological and artistic content of architectural works. Forms are used as a means of communication and expression of relationships between people, and in the case of sacred, temple buildings, as a relationship between people and the Creator. The subordination of the form to certain trends in style creation makes it possible to personally feel the connection of one's object-spatial environment with a wide range of environment and culture. All of this connects the problems of form and form-making with the broadest intentions of reproducing society. Tectonics is also defined as the organization of an expedient and at the same time expressive constructive structure, which is included in the list of means of forming an image. The subject of tectonics is the morphology of a structure that turns into a means of expression. And the ways of expanding this concept at the expense of the regularities of space organization leads to the fact that tectonics loses the specificity of content and is practically superimposed on such a concept as composition. The tectonicity of an architectural form is determined by the use of structural properties as a means of expression, but not the expression of the structural structure itself. The construction as such is a means of realizing the function of architecture, at the same time the function of expressiveness, but not the content that the architectural image should reveal. Therefore, a work of architecture embodies a certain image, an image that contains socially significant content, as a necessary part of its function. But the image also serves as a necessary tool to give the architectural work integrity to an organized, harmonious form. The organization of space and its structuring determine the fundamental basis of architectural composition at any level of environmental systems. The article considers the architecture of the space of church buildings as a category of form that creates a tectonic and volumetric-planning structure in church building. The article shows the peculiarities of forming in the architecture of church buildings and the compositional structure, which is determined through mass, space and surface and through such creative components as idea-form-function-value-sign (symbol).

PROSPECTS OF CREATING «GREEN STRUCTURES» IN THE DESIGN OF THE CLOSED ENVIRONMENT

The article presents scientific and experimental studies on the study of the prospects of creating "green structures" for the design of a closed environment when landscaping the interiors of special purpose objects - halls and lobbies of educational institutions. The ecological and decorative value of ornamental plants for modern landscaping has been proven. An analysis of literary sources was carried out and information about decorative plants used in the creation of vertical landscaping objects was summarized. On the basis of the obtained data, the scientific foundations of the introduction of promising plant species into the culture and the peculiarities of the organization of space in the interior were developed. It was determined that today phytodesign requires a scientifically based introduction of plants into the interior, which should create an aesthetic and comfortable environment for people. In addition, the action of plants should be aimed at disinfecting indoor air from pathogenic microflora, cleaning the air space from industrial dust and gas. It has been proven that for the creation of modern garden compositions in a closed environment, it is most appropriate to use such groups of plants as basic aggregates (golden epipremnum, ivy philodendron); green accents (monstera delicatesna) and blooming accents (anthurium andre). Their high evaluation according to a set of criteria indicates the perspective and suitability for growing in a closed environment, as well as the value for various options of use: compositions, potted culture, greening of living walls, phytomodules, structures for vertical gardening, accent, solitaire. It is the expansion of the range of plants for vertical gardening using the methods of "green constructions" that will make it more accessible. It was noted that the possibility of implementing an ecological and aesthetic way of improving the population will attract the attention of specialists who design buildings for various purposes.

Advocacy non-governmental organizations (NGOs) resiliency to shrinking civic space in Tanzania

PurposeThe world is experiencing democratic backsliding such that the situation is down back to 1986. This has resulted in the global shrinking of civic space for civil society organizations (CSOs). NGOs engaging in advocacy activities are seen to be among the CSOs affected. Using four NGOs cases from Tanzania, the study contributes to the civic space debate by uncovering how advocacy NGOs become resilient.Design/methodology/approachThe study is anchored in interpretivism and a cross-sectional case study design, following a qualitative approach path. Data were collected through interviews and a documentary review.FindingsResults show that several strategies such as complying, building community back-up, collaboration, strategic litigation, using digital media and changing the scope are applied. However, strategies face obstacles including scope limitations, expected democratic roles, high cost, changes in the scope and being outsmarted by the government, and hence their effectiveness is questionable.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focused on advocacy NGOs. More studies can be conducted for other advocacy-related CSOs on how they become resilient.Practical implicationsWhile NGOs are allowed to exist in the country, their freedom continue to be curtailed. Even the effectiveness of resiliency becomes temporary and depends on the political will of the existing regime.Originality/valueTanzania NGOs have to build strong bonds with citizens, expand the scope of strategies and use deliberative democratic principles to educate the government to change laws and tolerate plural political culture. Also, NGOs in other countries with confined civic space can apply the same.

Заложник инфраструктурных противоречий на Кавказе: Нагорный Карабах после 2020 года

Introduction. The article defines the nodal intersections of international transport corridors in the South Caucasus. Nagorno-Karabakh, after the 2020 war, is isolated from the donor country, and the prospects for its existence are beginning to depend more and more on transport diplomacy in the region. Methods and materials. The study is based on the concept of F. Braudel on the territorial organization of space. To analyze the current regional situation around Nagorno-Karabakh after 2020, strategic documents, news reports, interviews, and statements by officials of the countries of the region and representatives of regional powers were used. Analysis. The transport isolation of Nagorno-Karabakh undertaken by Azerbaijan after 2020, while simultaneously developing transport infrastructure bypassing it and the central regions of Armenia, created conditions for a humanitarian crisis in the unrecognized state. During the negotiations with Armenia, the fate of the Karabakh population is becoming more closely associated with the development of transport infrastructure in the region, calling into question the participation of Armenia itself in the development of projects. This situation forces its Prime Minister to take unpopular measures, gradually yielding to Baku’s demands. Azerbaijan, having taken part in the implementation of European transport projects, is developing new ones with the participation of China, Russia, Turkey, and Iran. The unresolved conflict hinders the security of investments in the region. The speed of development of competing transport corridors does not create prerequisites for long-term projects to resolve the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh. Results. Thanks to Azerbaijan’s initiative, new transport geography is being formed in the South Caucasus, creating diversified corridors for Azerbaijan and Turkey, and at the same time increasing the Russian Federation and Iran’s dependence on the level of relations with these states. Taking into account Azerbaijan’s negotiations with Iran as well as Russia’s interest in the development of the North-South ITC, it can be assumed that tougher steps will be taken in the future with regard to the Nagorno-Karabakh as well as the Zangezur corridor.

COMPARISON OF ANATOLIAN AND PERSIAN CARAVANSERAIS IN THE SELJUK PERIOD

According to history, the caravanserais were situated along the Silk Road, which linked the East and West and played a significant role in cultural exchange and trade between cities. Caravanserais were constructed to provide facility services and shelter for travellers. The construction of caravanserais in Iran is data back to the Sassanid period. The design of caravanserais alongside the road during the Seljuk Empire was a policy of the Seljuk Empire to connect cities located within the empire’s borders. Hence, different caravanserais with various designs were constructed in both Anatolia and Iran. This study emphasizes caravanserais constructed during the Seljuk era in both regions.
 The aim of this paper is to compare the architectural characteristic of Persian and Anatolian caravanserais built during the Seljuk era. In this respect, six caravanserais with different typologies of the plan features from both regions were selected to compare. The selected caravanserais from Iran are Deyre Gachin, Robat-e Mahi, and Robat-e Sharaf whereas Evdir Han, Aksaray Sultan Han, and Alara Han are selected from Anatolia. 
 The comparison of these caravanserais includes several steps. In the first step, the characteristics of Seljuk caravanserais were defined. In the second step, the features of each caravanserai in terms of its construction or restoration date were explained. In the third step, the form and function of each caravanserai were discussed. In the last step, the similarities and differences between the caravanserais of Iran and Anatolia were identified. To conclude, according to our study, interior spaces and the function of caravanserais in both regions are largely similar, whereas the plan design and space organization are different.

Tracking the emergence of an organized use of space: A direct comparison of the spatial patterning within Middle and Upper Paleolithic open-air sites

Although the ‘organization of space’ is said to be one of the defining characteristics of modern human behavior, the identification and documentation of such organization has proven to be elusive, especially as rendered in artifact patterning. Without directly comparing artifact patterns within multiple sites, there is no benchmark with which to conclude one site to be more or less ‘organized’ than another. We can objectively identify patterns within the distribution of archaeological materials, but the decision of whether that patterning constitutes as ‘organized’ is entirely subjective without a comparative model. In this paper, I present the results of a study in which the spatial distribution of artifacts within nine Middle and Upper Paleolithic sites in France are directly compared to one another, and discernible changes in patterning can be identified. The differences in spatial patterning between the Middle and Upper Paleolithic sites suggest that the organization of space likely became increasingly formalized into and throughout the Upper Paleolithic alongside other cultural norms of behavior. Though more sites are needed to thoroughly document this phenomenon, this study suggests that direct comparisons of spatial patterning have the potential to yield more objective results on the question of spatial organization.

Conceptuality and rationality in underground spaces transport interchange hub organization

The article substantiates the necessity of combining modern methods of underground urban planning in areas of special urban planning value, which include transport interchanges and their adjacent territories. Techniques for the rational organization of service facilities and prospects for the development of accompanying functional areas are formulates. A modern multi-functional complex as part of a transport interchange hubs requires the use of new means of forming the architectural environment: external and internal organization of underground space. The purpose of the publication is to argue for the optimization of the development of public service facilities of transport interchanges due to the organization of underground spaces and to determine the main advantages of rationality. Analysis of the Utrecht and Berlin stations as examples of European experience in the operation and development of transport hubs demonstrates the main advantages of rationality in the organization of underground spaces. The concept, which reorganizes transfer points into small businesses and shopping centers, integrates them into underground spaces: places for holding exhibitions and business events, conference halls. Effective using of land resources helps to free up the territory for pedestrian areas. Using of modern technologies in the field of energy efficiency and ecology correspond to the direction of sustainable development; separation of traffic and pedestrian flows, organization of the shortest paths to various types of transport and evacuation are beneficial when used as a shelter; economic efficiency increases the urban value of the territory. The topic of conceptual design, introduced at the Department of Architectural Environment Design in Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture when developing a highly urbanized transport hub in accordance with the concept of the location of high-rise buildings in Kyiv, approved by the Academy of Architecture of Ukraine.

Problems and prospects of harmonizing the space of industrial cities

This research examines the problems and prospects of harmonizing the space of industrial cities in modern conditions. The main problems of the development of industrial cities are defined. The importance of studying the previous results of scientific research on similar issues is considered. To highlight the main directions of functioning and development of industrial cities. An analysis of the global practice of transforming industrial cities into comfortable and safe areas was carried out, with the definition of the main types. The main key concepts that help to consider the problem more broadly are revealed. The conducted content analysis of the architectural and urban planning space made it possible to identify the problems (disproportions) of the industrial city from the standpoint of living conditions in urban areas: dissonance between the historical and modern development of the city territory; imbalance between natural and urban areas of the city; presence of significant industrial zones within the city, distortion of proportions between residential, recreational and industrial areas of the city; industrial and social infrastructure conflict; monotony, vagueness of a typical residential building; environmental problems in the city (environmental pollution, negative impact on the "microclimate" of the industrial city); the presence of "marginal" natural and industrial territories that have lost their utilitarian functions; decrease in public safety and increase in crime. The presence of these problems indicates an imbalance and disharmony in the organization of the city space, which negatively affects the social environment and can be accompanied by social imbalance and conflicts. At the same time, the problem areas of the industrial city have the potential to restore disturbed areas, taking into account the modern needs of the population and, as a result, choosing a new functional content. At the same time, it is important that the new functions built into the objects fit into the existing urban context, meet the needs of potential users and promote social consensus.

Unique architecture in conditions of conflicting objectives and subjective factors (stadium case studies) (Moscow)

Unique buildings reflect a social demand for innovative urban space organization, new perspectives of human activities, and growing need for a safe and favorable environment. Architectural design of unique buildings, especially at early stages, is complicated by uncertainty of functional tasks, absence of regulatory requirements, and necessity for significant modifications during the process. The design experience of stadiums for 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia shows the development of a productive creative idea. The development of this typology is identified by a comprehensive analysis of the architectural heritage and scientific literature. Requirements of international sports organizations for spatial and planning solutions of sports arenas are summarized herein, which form the basis of the Russian construction standardization. Recommendations are provided for the architectural concept preservation.

The Empire Strikes Back: Comparing US and China’s Structural Power in Outer Space

Abstract This article assesses the structural power of the United States and China in the field of space governance. While much of the literature on space power focuses on their technologies and capabilities, we take a complementary approach and explore their capacity to shape the regulatory landscape. Possessing structural power has far-reaching implications for global power projection as well as for various industries, such as telecommunications, transportation, and remote sensing. To assess structural power, we gathered and analyzed three types of data: a dataset featuring 1,709 space organizations, a second dataset comprising 1,764 international space arrangements connecting them, and insights from fifty-two interviews with key space actors. Our findings indicate that the United States holds significant structural power thanks to its thriving commercial space sector and extensive international network. This has enabled the global diffusion of its preferred norms while simultaneously constraining China’s space cooperation network. Despite its remarkable technological capabilities, China has not been able to translate them into substantial global structural power. To encourage further exploration in this domain, we make available our original dataset of 1,764 space arrangements, including 970 in full-text format, inviting fellow researchers to investigate other facets of outer space governance.

Biochemical Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Nuclear Matrix Reveals the Layers of Nuclear Organization

Nuclear matrix (NuMat) is the fraction of the eukaryotic nucleus insoluble to detergents and high-salt extractions that manifests as a pan-nuclear fiber-granule network. NuMat consists of ribonucleoprotein complexes, members of crucial nuclear functional modules, and DNA fragments. Although NuMat captures the organization of nonchromatin nuclear space, very little is known about components organization within NuMat. To understand the organization of NuMat components, we subfractionated it with increasing concentrations of the chaotrope guanidinium hydrochloride (GdnHCl) and analyzed the proteomic makeup of the fractions. We observe that the solubilization of proteins at different concentrations of GdnHCl is finite and independent of the broad biophysical properties of the protein sequences. Looking at the extraction pattern of the nuclear envelope and nuclear pore complex, we surmise that this fractionation represents easily solubilized/loosely bound and difficultly solubilized/tightly bound components of NuMat. Microscopic analyses of the localization of key NuMat proteins across sequential GdnHCl extractions of in situ NuMat further elaborate on the divergent extraction patterns. Furthermore, we solubilized NuMat in 8M GdnHCl and upon removal of GdnHCl through dialysis, en masse renaturation leads to RNA-dependent self-assembly of fibrous structures. The major proteome component of the self-assembled fibers comes from the difficultly solubilized, tightly bound component. This fractionation of the NuMat reveals different organizational levels within it which may reflect the structural and functional organization of nuclear architecture.

Residential Space Organization of the Inner Mongolia Earth Dwellings around the Yellow River Basin

The living spaces within vernacular dwellings undergo continuous adjustments in response to evolving lifestyles, society, and cultural shifts. Residents, guided by their understanding, integrate newly emerging functional spaces within the framework of traditional living environments. While appearing rough and A disorganized, this spontaneous and evolving arrangement of living spaces can reflect how residents incorporate contemporary lifestyles into the framework of traditional dwelling spaces. The research focuses on the traditional earth dwellings in the Inner Mongolia section of the Yellow River basin, aiming to explore the contemporary spatial organization within these local residences. The research uses typology to classify the plans and analysis as the spatial syntax theory to organizational characteristics of residential spaces. With the assistance of the Depthmap X software, Integration and Control Value parameters are computed. Combining the calculated results with the parameters’ meaning determines the following: (1) the plan organization is related to basic functional space types; (2) the stove, used for heating in functional spaces, serves as the center of the plan organization, and the basic functional spaces are typically arranged around this center; (3) both of these space types have extremely high Control Values over directly adjacent spaces and become the core spaces for daily living and activities. Researching the characteristics of local residential space organization and concretely showcasing local residential culture can provide a foundation for future construction that respects residents’ preferences and supports the sustainable development of local residential culture.

Символическое пространство и практики освоения в процессах самоорганизации сообществ

The purpose of this work is to study symbolic space and related practices of space exploration, a complex of tangible and intangible resources in the course of self-organization of modern communities. The main method is a comparative analysis of concepts and theories, which made it possible to analyze current approaches to the conceptualization of the concept of symbolic space and symbolic power. The symbolic dimension, according to the author's position, is the most important, inseparable from the physical and communicative dimensions of the living space of communities and a condition for their self-organization. The author defends the hypothesis of the cementing role of the practices of individual and collective development of space and resources for modern communities. At the same time, the vector of development of material and non-material resources develops from individual human strategies for interacting with reality to group development models and a system of interactions of interested actors and their associations with each other, animate and inanimate objects. The significance of a symbol, myth, ritual in the processes of formation of modern communities, as well as brands as universal units in various functional spheres, including public policy, is demonstrated. The article attempts to analyze individual practices that form the political space of a joint interested being (political co-being). The thesis is put forward regarding the role of the consumer social model in the organization of space and self-organization of communities based on the principles of development. The significance of the work may consist in determining the trends of qualitative processes of self-organization of modern communities, stimulating further conceptualization of the concepts of symbolic space and symbolic power.

FEATURES OF SPATIAL FORMATION OF COLONIES "ODESSA SETTLEMENT"

The territorial factor becomes decisive in the selection of socio-economic goals and means of their achievement. This has a special impact when solving the most large-scale urban planning problems regarding the organization of space. For example, as with the formation of foreign settlements of the "Odesa settlement" of the Kherson province since 1803. The initial, basic stage of the transformation of the Black Sea territories is a key point in understanding the significance of the following periods. The initial, basic stage of the transformation of the Black Sea territories is a key point in understanding the significance of the following periods. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the systematic deployment of a holistic picture of the process of the formation of the Odesa settlement was conducted, taking into account the structure and multifaceted nature of its values. The theoretical value of the work carried out is due to the possibility of further research into the process of hereditary development of the semantic structure of historical regions.

The Twin Dangers of Order and Disorder: Rethinking the Relationship Between Movement and Change in Drug Treatment

In this article, we propose that the perpetual difficulties in drug treatment can be understood as a consequence of how a binary opposition of order and disorder continues to structure drug discourses and treatment practices. When drug use is seen as a disorder of addiction, recovery becomes reduced to movements between fixed points benchmarked against preexisting standards. This obscures how recovery could be understood as a process of self-differentiation where subjects develop new norms to adapt to changing life circumstances. In the article we draw on empirical material from a Copenhagen drug-treatment facility for young drug users, to analyze how change and development can be facilitated through a fundamental institutional “movability.” Drawing on the philosophy of change of Henri Bergson, the assemblage approach of Deleuze and Guattari, and the aesthetic theory of Jacques Rancière, we analyze how a particular assemblage of discourses, the organization of treatment and aesthetic spaces disrupt existing orders and open for different possibilities for participation and development for young drug users. In particular, we turn the attention to how aesthetic spaces and sensuous processes can counter stigmatization by overcoming the frame of “treatment” and the affective experiences associated with the categorization as a “drug-user” and facilitating the development of care as new ways of becoming and being-together.

Mapping conceptual spaces in contemporary linguistic studies: Insights from lexical analysis

Contemporary linguistic studies have shown an increasing interest in conceptual spaces as a helpful tool for comprehending how meaning is organized and represented. This study focuses on the mapping of abstract areas through lexical analysis techniques. Drawing upon a diverse range of linguistic data, including corpora, dictionaries, and semantic networks, this study explores the interconnectedness of concepts within various domains. Through the identification of co-occurrence patterns and semantic associations, we examined how words and concepts relate to one another in multidimensional spaces. By analyzing the distributional properties and semantic relationships, this research provides beneficial perspicuity into the organization and structure of conceptual spaces, clearing the cognitive processes involved in language comprehension and production. The results offer implications for linguistic domains, including lexical semantics, cognitive linguistics, and natural language processing, emphasizing the potential of mapping conceptual spaces in advancing our understanding of language and cognition. This linguistic study contributes to the growing body of research on conceptual spaces, paving the way for further investigations into the nature of meaning representation and its implications for language acquisition, translation, and computational modeling.

Gendered experiences during COVID-19 in Turkey and the meaning of home

This work aims to uncover the changing meaning of home by focusing on gender-based experiences of staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. The findings show that the meaning of home is not straightforward and, depending on one’s gender-based experiences and diverse experiences of staying at home arise. In this work, Doreen Massey’s (1994) joint conceptualisations of spatiality and identity for understanding space and place in general and home in particular not as an absolute but as a relational place, together with Iris Marion Young’s (2005) conceptualisation of homemaking provide the theoretical context for linking the stay-at-home experiences of the participants with the meaning of home during the COVID-19 pandemic from a gender perspective. Furthermore, gender-based experiences of staying at home during the COVID-19 in Turkey are meaningful in the context of the discourses and social policy interventions of the existing government producing the social organization of space from an anti-gender and a conservative neo-liberal perspective. This work is based on online qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted with 32 self-identified female participants. Interview data were interpreted using the three thematic categories of ‘home as a dwelling,’ ‘home as a burden,’ ‘home as a place for preservation. The findings support the existing research on the gender-specific organisation of care work and time usage and further contribute to the field by demonstrating that home was a gendered space sustained through mutual relations between gender practices and spatial practices before and during the pandemic.
