In future research, it is recommended that mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) be used, including interviews or observations, to give more depth to the study and to give a true picture of the impact of the quality of the environment on children's development.

The Realities of Toleration: Army Chaplaincy, Religious Politics and Scottish Military Experience, c.1690–1763

This article examines the under-studied practical implications of legal toleration and the realities of religious co-existence, by exploring how Scottish army chaplains pushed at confessional dividing lines and tested the differing toleration systems within the British Isles to their limits. By situating army chaplaincy at the centre, rather than the margin, of the wider religio-political changes in early eighteenth-century Britain and Ireland, it argues that the deficiency of chaplaincy resulted not from individual neglect, but its legal juxtaposition between the religious and military authorities, an institutional position that both reflected and amplified church-state tensions. Such jurisdictional ambiguity was gradually clarified by the mid-eighteenth century, when Scottish army chaplains, as military personnel, came under the effective control of lay patronage. Despite persistent concerns for chaplains' doctrinal orthodoxy at the individual and local levels, Presbyterian chaplains became increasingly Moderate in outlook, which had implications for soldiers' spirituality. Similar to the patronage disputes between Moderate appointees and their Evangelically-minded parishioners in Scottish localities, chaplains and soldiers also diverged in their religious character. Accordingly, the fact that chaplaincy posts were more easily given to the Moderates frustrated pious soldiers, who held on to their confessional identities even when the eighteenth-century British army, and the various religious landscapes across the Atlantic in which they served, became an assuredly pluralistic and porous spiritual environment.

It is recommended that infrastructure enterprises of territorial communities develop their own development strategies to attract additional funding based on their own competitive advantages.

Праця «Розподіл Росії» в біографії й творчості Юрія Липи

The modern Russian-Ukrainian war actualized the work with the telling title "The Partition of Russia" (1941) by the Ukrainian public and cultural figure, doctor and writer, historian and geopolitician Yurii Lypa (1900–1944) on the history and prospects of Russian-Ukrainian relations, the past and future of the Russian Empire, and hence the interest in the figure of its author. In "The Partition of Russia", Yurii Lypa categorically insisted on the complete separation of the hostile, spiritually and economically mutually exclusive Muscovy-North and Ukraine-South, which must follow different historical paths for the good of humanity and for world order. He emphasized that each nation, like an individual person, will be able to express itself in the endless struggle with the material and spiritual environment. Only in such a struggle will the natural strength of Ukraine and its value for the peoples of the world be developed. Yurii Lypa did not write about destruction, but about the education and improvement of the Moscow population. He wrote that the point is not to physically destroy 400-500 thousand enthusiasts in St. Petersburg and Moscow who preach oppression, in his opinion, what was needed was the final eradication of the tradition of this oppression and unnatural claims. In his opinion, free labor, property rights, and appropriate legislation were the cures for a distorted worldview. Yurii Lypa emphasized that overcoming nomadic psychology is possible with a return to family traditions, stabilization of the economy, revival of moral authorities. The condition for recovery is the unloading of the imperial Comintern center. And the author also proposed minor surgical measures that will be useful for the population of the Russian lands and the whole world as another step towards the spiritual enrichment of humanity.

How to Prevent the Side Effects of Innovation: The Necessity of the Spiritual Exercises

Responsible innovation has emerged as a crucial instrument for carrying out the policy, leadership, and governance reform agenda, which aims to develop new ideas and implement them in order to address global challenges. It is crucial to analyze innovation’s negative expectations and ramifications and the historical context and relevance of the technology introduced. However, there is a dark side to innovation that academics and policymakers must be aware of and confront. Plutarch elaborates that one must start at the most fundamental level and work up to a strong and solid character to master anger, interest, conversation, or desire for wealth. Getting back into the world and actively participating in daily life is the real challenge; cultivating one’s spirituality is not the end game. Components of the spiritual environment reflect the three key features of spirituality in responsible innovators: a feeling of spirituality, a sense of purpose in work, and a desire for social involvement or engagement. While a certain kind of analysis may show people how to do things, act differently, make progress, and develop, it does not involve the sort of generosity with which they are unaccustomed.

Being a Muslim In a Catholic Family and Vice Versa: Religious Education in Mixed-Faith Families in Flores, Eastern Indonesia

This study explores religious education and identity formation among families within mixed-faith families in Flores, Eastern Indonesia, specifically, Muslim-Catholic families. This ethnographic research observes and holds in-depth interviews with eight mixed-faith families comprising four to eight family members. This study finds that mixed-faith families continue to carry out the process of faith education and identity formation for all their members. However, the presence of family members with different religions gives a distinctive character because there are always negotiations, adaptations, and even transformations. The form, intensity, and model of faith education between families differ depending on the context of a mixed-faith family formation, one's position and power in the family, one's way of thinking about religion, and the spiritual environment around the family. Faith education in a mixed-faith family can positively deepen faith, strengthen religious identity, increase knowledge about other religions, foster tolerance, and appreciate diversity. This can also fade away the identity and belief of the minority and even can lead to conversion. However, the bond of family love does not cause differences, fights and conversions into one meaningful conflict.
