Інтермедіальна поетика біографічної кіноповісті І. Драча та І. Миколайчука «Київська фантазія на тему дикої троянди-шипшини»

The trend of syncretization of arts in the modern world is spreading and this causes interest in the method of intermedia analysis in literary studies. Today we can observe a kind of “intermedia boom” (H. Levchenko); studies on the problems of synthesis and interaction of arts have become relevant, an intermedia code is actively offered for understanding problems, architecture, artistic means, narrative strategies, images of a literary work. Intermediality is relevant to the methodology of modern literary studies and also offers a new perspective on those artistic texts that are on the periphery of theoretical interests due to the uncertainty regarding their inter-artistic identification. A film story about a composer is an interesting phenomenon of intermedial synthesis, since different channels of intermedial communication, such as literature, cinema and music, are simultaneously involved. The intermedial poetics of Ivan Drach and Ivan Mykolaichuk’s film story “Kyiv Fantasy on the Theme of a Wild Rose-hip” (1984), which is about the founder of Ukrainian classical music, public figure, musician-virtuoso and outstanding scientist-ethnographer Mykola Lysenko, is analyzed. Perfectly combining the private and creative beginnings, the successful tandem of I. Drach and I. Mikolaichuk is managed to present a rich and difficult life of a talented person and a brilliant composer from early childhood to his death. Using a two-level composition of the unfolding of events, the reader/spectator is presented with the journey of Mykola Lysenko in adulthood, where memories are retrospectively used: first childhood, then youth, and then student years, etc. The artists also tried to find out the complicated relationship of the composer with his wife Olga O’Connor and the mother of his children – Olha Lypska. In addition to this, the film story presents the image of the artist in the discourse of contemporary historical events, social processes, in the discourse of events that had significant cultural value, thus presenting the composer as a citizen-patriot, and as a public figure, and as an important cultural figure. The image of a rose-hip stands out as a symbol and a metaphor that combines saturated biographical material into a single whole – a symbol of the “people’s soul, song”.

Symmetry group at future null infinity: Scalar theory

We reduce the massless scalar field theory in Minkowski spacetime to future null infinity. We compute the Poincar\'e flux operators, which can be generalized and identified as the supertranslation and superrotation generators. These generators are shown to form a closed symmetry algebra with a divergent central charge. In the classical limit, we argue that the algebra may be interpreted as the geometric symmetry of a Carrollian manifold, i.e., the hypersurface of future null infinity. Our method may be used to find more physically interesting Carrollian field theories.

A Theory of Rights Based on Autonomy

AbstractThis article takes a critical look at the classic couplet of theories on the justification of rights, namely, the choice theory and the interest or benefit theory, where the two are understood to be in conflict. The argument is made that this couplet is best replaced with a new one, namely, a sophisticated rendering of the benefit theory coupled with the autonomy theory, such that any conflict is resolved. The latter two theories take different cases in justifying the attribution of rights: The autonomy theory is concerned with justifying the attribution of rights to adult, rational, and competent subjects, arguing that this attribution requires a sufficiently autonomous claim by such subjects, while the benefit theory seeks to justify the attribution of rights to subjects who lack any of these three properties, meaning that they cannot be considered adult, rational, or competent.

Rights, Abstraction, and Correlativity

AbstractI survey several counterexamples (by Raz and MacCormick) to Hohfeld's conjecture that a claim-right is correlative to a directed duty and (by Cornell and Frick) to Bentham's suggestion that a claim-right is correlative to a wronging. We can vindicate these claims of correlativity if we acknowledge that entitlements like claim-rights and directed duties admit of degrees of abstraction: that they may be general rather than specific, unspecified rather than specified, or indefinite rather than definite. I provide an error theory consisting in linguistic and practical reasons for why we articulate normative incidents in ways that threaten correlativity. And I deny that abstraction imposes a heavy metaphysical cost on rights theory, though I leave open whether abstraction excludes certain explanatory accounts of rights such as the interest theory or will theory.

How employee share ownership plans impact firms' market value: A conflict of interest theory approach

AbstractWe investigated whether the market places a higher value on banks with employee share ownership plans (ESOPs) than on those without them. Using a variety of empirical models, we found that ESOPs increased the market value of banks. However, this positive effect occurred only when banks were transparent or located in countries with strong shareholder protection. Our findings demonstrated that if banks were opaque or shareholder protection was weak, outside investors' concerns about managerial entrenchment in widely held banks and behind‐the‐scenes relationships between majority shareholders and managers in closely held banks outweighed the perceived benefits of ESOPs. Our study contributes to the literature by proposing a novel approach to study the effects of ESOPs through the prism of conflict of interest theory. Our findings also shed light on stakeholders' rationales for opposing or adopting ESOPs.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM: EXPLORATION OF THE POTENTIAL FOR HALAL TOURISM RETRIBUTION ON THE NORTH COAST OF MADURA

This aim of study is to explore the potential for regional levy revenue derived from halal tourism on the north coast of Madura Island. The uniqueness of this research lies in taking the object of research (halal tourism) after the COVID-19 pandemic. Population is a halal tourist attraction located on the north coast of Pamekasan Regency and Sumenep Regency (Madura Island), namely Jumiang Beach, Lombang, E-Kasoghi, Talang Siring, and Slopeng. Data collection techniques using purposive sampling methods with time vulnerability during 2019 to 2022 which are processed using halal potential analysis methods and quantitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the potential revenue of the halal tourism sector of the Madura coastal coast is quite high, as seen from several destinations that are able to generate significant revenue. The high revenue potential on these beaches has implications for significant local native income opportunities or potential. This research contributes to the government's program in levying levies on halal tourism. This research also contributes to the application of economic theory, legal theory, political theory, interest theory, stakeholder theory, and sustainable development goals (SDGs) that support levy collection in the field of halal tourism.

Using the interest theory of rights and Hohfeldian taxonomy to address a gap in machine learning methods for legal document analysis

Rights and duties are essential features of legal documents. Machine learning algorithms have been increasingly applied to extract information from such texts. Currently, their main focus is on named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and the classification of court cases to predict court outcome. In this paper it is argued that until the essential features of such texts are captured, their analysis can remain bottle-necked by the very technology being used to assess them. As such, the use of legal theory to identify the most pertinent dimensions of such texts is proposed. Specifically, the interest theory of rights, and the first-order Hohfeldian taxonomy of legal relations. These principal legal dimensions allow for a stratified representation of knowledge, making them ideal for the abstractions needed for machine learning. This study considers how such dimensions may be identified. To do so it implements a novel heuristic based in philosophy coupled with language models. Hohfeldian relations of ‘rights-duties’ vs. ‘privileges-no-rights’ are determined to be identifiable. Classification of each type of relation to accuracies of 92.5% is found using Sentence Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. Testing is carried out on religious discrimination policy texts in the United Kingdom.

Gesell’s half a theory of the rate of interest

This article discusses previously unpublished correspondence between Keynes and the German economist Franz Hochstetter, a strong supporter of Silvio Gesell. The correspondence debates the reasons why Keynes deemed Gesell’s theory of the rate of interest as incomplete, and his plan of stamped money as impractical. The issue is analysed by referring to the more general theme of the inconsistencies in Keynes’s interest theory, and the unsuccessful attempts he made to strengthen its foundations.

Toni Morrison's Authorial Audience and the Properties of Black-Centered Imaginative History

This essay relates Toni Morrison's critical imperatives concerning the presence of racial formation in reading communities to rhetorical narrative theory's interest in the feedback among author, text, and readers. Through discussions of Morrison's critical writing and of Song of Solomon and Beloved, I examine how Morrison cultivated a Black-centered authorial audience for her texts, guiding readers to acknowledge the authority of Black intraracial dialogue and to wrestle with the sociopolitical implications of her work's imaginative engagement with history. Supplementing ample scholarship on the relationship of Morrison's essays to her fiction, I pay special attention to the forewords Morrison composed for the 2004 reprints of her early novels. In these forewords, Morrison insists on the role of her personal ancestors and ghosts in the production of her fiction, suggesting that the authorial audience's recognition of ghosts enables the robust appreciation and knowledge of Black social experience and history on which she insists.

Probing correlated states with plasmons.

Understanding the nature of strongly correlated states in flat-band materials (such as moiré heterostructures) is at the forefront of both experimental and theoretical pursuits. While magnetotransport, scanning probe, and optical techniques are often very successful in investigating the properties of the underlying order, the exact nature of the ground state often remains unknown. Here, we propose to leverage strong light-matter coupling present in the flat-band systems to gain insight through dynamical dielectric response into the structure of the many-body ground state. We argue that because of the enlargement of the effective lattice of the system arising from correlations, conventional long-range plasmon becomes "folded" to yield a multiband plasmon spectrum. We detail several mechanisms through which the structure of the plasmon spectrum and that of the dynamical dielectric response is susceptible to the underlying order, revealing valued insights such as the interaction-driven band gaps, spin-structure, and the order periodicity.

The Practical Application of Theory in Accounting Research

As novice researchers or advanced graduate students embark on a research journey, they must not only understand the theory behind their research, but they must illustrate how the theory applies to the practical problems addressed in the research. Once a theory is created, it is tested through research, and subsequently modified, rejected, or accepted to interpret unknown phenomena or make observations about reality. This paper discusses the practical application of theory in research, explores a current view on a theory of interest within the accounting profession, and analyzes prior accounting literature to determine how the theory has been used within the discipline.

“Does this make sense?”: The effect of matching guise in regional accent on grammatical acceptability judgments

Syntax and sociophonetics are typically treated as wildly disjointed (possibly even incompatible) theoretical pursuits. This paper seeks to unite sociophonetic speech perception and syntax research by presenting participants with matching or mismatching social expectations during a structural grammaticality judgment task. Place is the unifying social association between guise and structure. Participants completed a between-subjects matched guise survey with place-based grammatical structures spoken in either a matching place-based, local accent or a nonlocal accent. Place-based structures are consistently rated more acceptable in the local accent than the nonlocal. These results suggest that judgment of grammaticality results from an interplay of sociocultural expectations with accent and sentence structure. Judgment of structural grammaticality is not independent of social expectation.

Synthesis of π-Conjugated Chiral Organoborane Macrocycles with Blue to Near-Infrared Emissions and the Diradical Character of Cations

Highly emissive π-conjugated macrocycles with tunable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have sparked theoretical and synthetic interests in recent years. Herein, we report a synthetic approach to obtain new chiral organoborane macrocycles (CMC1, CMC2, and CMC3) that are built on the structurally chiral [5]helicenes and highly luminescent triarylborane/amine moieties embedded into the cyclic systems. These rarely accessible B/N-doped main-group chiral macrocycles show a unique topology dependence of the optoelectronic and chiroptical properties. CMC1 and CMC2 show a higher luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) together with an enhanced CPL brightness (BCPL) as compared with CMC3. Electronic effects were also tuned and resulted in bathochromic shifts of their emission and CPL responses from blue for CMC1 to the near-infrared (NIR) region for CMC3. Furthermore, chemical oxidations of the N donor sites in CMC1 gave rise to a highly stable radical cation (CMC1·+SbF6-) and diradical dication species (CMC12·2+2SbF6-) that serve as a rare example of a positively charged open-shell chiral macrocycle.

The Practice of Financial Consumer Rights Protection Innovation in United States and Japan And Its Enlightenment to Our Country

The research on the protection theory of financial consumers' rights and interests can not only effectively relieve the pressure brought by the epidemic on economic development, stabilize the volatile financial market, promote the healthy development of the financial industry, but also accumulate the experience of dealing with the crisis of the epidemic and prepare for the unknown future. This paper starts with the comparative analysis of the policies of China, the United States and Japan in the field of financial consumer protection, and compares and analyzes the financial legislation, financial regulation, financial consumer literacy and other fields, and finally forms the meaningful suggestions and measures for China to establish a fair, reasonable and effective financial consumer protection system.

Existence of real time quantum path integrals

Many interesting physical theories have analytic classical actions. We show how Feynman’s path integral may be defined non-perturbatively, for such theories, without a Wick rotation to imaginary time. We start by introducing a class of smooth regulators which render interference integrals absolutely convergent and thus unambiguous. The analyticity of the regulators allows us to use Cauchy’s theorem to deform the integration domain onto a set of relevant, complex “thimbles” (or generalized steepest descent contours) each associated with a classical saddle. The regulator can then be removed to obtain an exact, non-perturbative representation. We show why the usual method of gradient flow, used to identify relevant saddles and steepest descent “thimbles” for finite-dimensional oscillatory integrals, fails in the infinite-dimensional case. For the troublesome high frequency modes, we replace it with a method we call “eigenflow” which we employ to identify the infinite-dimensional, complex “eigenthimble” over which the real time path integral is absolutely convergent. We then bound the path integral over high frequency modes by the corresponding Wiener measure for a free particle. Using the dominated convergence theorem we infer that the interacting path integral defines a good measure. While the real time path integral is more intricate than its Euclidean counterpart, it is superior in several respects. It seems particularly well-suited to theories such as quantum gravity where the classical theory is well developed but the Euclidean path integral does not exist.

A Mereological Study of Lowe’s Constituting Parthood Theory

Abstract Late Lowe’s metaphysics of material objects is an interesting multi-thingist theory that still attracts interest from various authors. The core idea is that if x materially constitutes y, the x is a proper part of y. I discuss some mereological issues that arise from the approach and propose a revision of the mereology associated. Particularly, I examine the tenability of a number of supplementation principles and conclude that just one may serve the theory adequately. Still, the endorsement of such a principle does not come for free. Successively, I address the derivability of an important extensionality theorem and conclude that the theorem must be taken as an axiom in the mereology at stake. Lastly, I discuss two notable definitions of mereological fusions to assess which one best suits the present theory. The result is that authors sharing Lowe’s multi-thingist conception of material objects can still enjoy a moderately strong mereology.

Ken Plummer: What it is to be human

Ken Plummer’s career embraced a range of interests, and disparate interventions but is marked by a remarkable consistency, rooted in a profound humanistic understanding of the social world. This is most fully expressed in his most recent publication, Critical Humanism, but is a leitmotif throughout his writings since the early 1970s. Whilst many of his contemporaries engaged in wild flirtations with every intellectual fashion from anti-humanism to post-humanisms, and whatever lies between, over the past half-century, Plummer has remained faithful to his early moral and theoretical interests whilst being sharply alert to every nuance and subtlety of contemporary debate. He is one of the most knowledgeable of sociologists, a fluent theorist but also a passionate and committed teacher who strives to communicate as widely as possible. And throughout his life and work, over many years, you can still trace the impact of a critical moment, his engagement with gay liberation from 1970 which profoundly shaped his trajectory as a scholar and engaged intellectual. This essay focuses on a number of key themes, Sexual Stigma, Sexual Stories, Intimate Citizenship, and Critical Humanism that together offer a story of Ken Plummer’s engagement with his overarching theme: what it is to be human.

Naming psychiatry: apropos earliest use of the term by Karl Friedrich Burdach (1800).

The term psychiatry (Psychiatrie) was first used in 1800, in the early work of Leipzig Romantic natural philosopher and later neuroanatomist Karl Friedrich Burdach; it was a recherché reference to medical animism. This little-known instance of neologism by a young ambitious author invites a brief lexicological study of psychiatry as a specialty in search of its place among the medical specialties, methods and applications. The European historical lexicology of psychiatry recalls the philosophical commentary tradition on Aristotle's De Anima, eventually (c. 1525) honoured with the mononym psychologia. The battle for the soul's science was superseded by the increasingly diverse theoretical, empirical, forensic and literary-humanitarian interests in mental medicine during the second half of the eighteenth century.

From Austrian theory of capital to dissent: Nicholas Kaldor, Friedrich A. Hayek and the way to disequilibrium

PurposeIn the early 1930s, Nicholas Kaldor could be classified as an Austrian economist. The author reconstructs the intertwined paths of Kaldor and Friedrich A. Hayek to disequilibrium economics through the theoretical deficiencies exposed by the Austrian theory of capital and its consequences on equilibrium analysis.Design/methodology/approachThe author approaches the discussion using a theoretical and historical reconstruction based on published and unpublished materials.FindingsThe integration of capital theory into a business cycle theory by the Austrians and its shortcomings – e.g. criticized by Piero Sraffa and Gunnar Myrdal – called attention to the limitation of the theoretical apparatus of equilibrium analysis in dynamic contexts. This was a central element to Kaldor’s emancipation in 1934 and his subsequent conversion to John Maynard Keynes’ The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936). In addition, it was pivotal to Hayek’s reformulation of equilibrium as a social coordination problem in “Economics and Knowledge” (1937). It also had implications for Kaldor’s mature developments, such as the construction of the post-Keynesian models of growth and distribution, the Cambridge capital controversy, and his critique of neoclassical equilibrium economics.Originality/valueThe close encounter between Kaldor and Hayek in the early 1930s, the developments during that decade and its mature consequences are unexplored in the secondary literature. The author attempts to construct a coherent historical narrative that integrates many intertwined elements and personas (e.g. the reception of Knut Wicksell in the English-speaking world; Piero Sraffa’s critique of Hayek; Gunnar Myrdal’s critique of Wicksell, Hayek, and Keynes; the Hayek-Knight-Kaldor debate; the Kaldor-Hayek debate, etc.) that were not connected until now by previous commentators.
