Strategic rationality of mass culture

The article deals with a role of mass culture in term of the theory of the culture industry by M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno and the theory of communicative action by J. Habermas, who continues research of the Frankfurt school. It is known that Habermas says about two types of rationality — communicative and structural. The lifeworld and the system correspond them. Usually, culture correspond to lifeworld because it helps people`s socialization. Also it is a place for communication and finding new meanings. However, a place of mass culture is very controver- sial. In particular, it is necessary to distinguish between popular and mass culture, because these definitions have been used as interchangeable for a long time. Popular culture is still an area of meanings. Moreover, it has the potential for protest. From this point of view, it is clearly part of the life world. But mass culture as a «cultural industry» is not so unambiguous. It is worth considering its characteristics and role in people’s life more detail. Above all, one cannot help paying attention to masses. Already in the last century, H. Arendt characterized them as an atomized and isolated group of people, and they are not united by any common ideas. After all, even in the modern world it is possible to see that they do not have and do not want to search for any ideas or meanings. Masses are a direct consumers of mass culture. It is consumerism that the characteristic feature of modernity. Therefore, mass culture is inseparably connected with the market. On the one hand, it sells entertainments, and on the other hand, it generates new consumers, because it is related to advertising. In the same way, mass culture is connected with agitation and propaganda. Thus, it is possible to speak about its connection with politics. The market and politics correspond to the system and are guided by strategic rationality. This fact gives reason to talk about mass culture as a strategic tool. Such culture with no meanings leads to a crisis in society.

Mathematical Literacy with Islamic Nuances Based on Prospective Mathematics Teachers’ Personality

Mathematical literacy is crucial to understand phenomena and good decision-making in real life. This study aims to describe aspects of Islamic nuanced mathematical literacy in prospective teachers, which were viewed from the four personalities of Keirsey. This qualitative descriptive research used a questionnaire of MTBI personality types and a mathematical literacy test with Islamic nuances. The subjects are students in the 7th semester of the mathematics education program at an Islamic university in Kediri City, East Java, Indonesia. The findings showed that rational and idealist subjects could fulfill the "formulating" indicator, but not the guardian and artisan subjects. They were not able to translate problems into mathematical form. The indicators of "employing" and "interpreting" show that subjects with rational personality types can determine better strategies than artisan, guardian, and idealist personality types. That is, it is necessary to integrate the interconnections between the mathematics learning programs related to Islamic elements. A more in-depth portrait of mathematical literacy is needed in different situations from prospective mathematics teachers at Islamic universities.

Some new soliton solutions to the higher dimensional Burger–Huxley and Shallow water waves equation with couple of integration architectonic

In this paper, we retrieve some traveling wave, periodic solutions, bell shaped, rational, kink and anti-kink type and Jacobi elliptic functions of Burger’s equation and Shallow water wave equation with the aid of various integration schemes like improved F-expansion scheme and Jacobi elliptic function method respectively. We also present our solutions graphically in various dimensions.

SOME COMMON FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR FUZZY TYPE RATIONAL CONTRACTIVE MAPPINGS IN HILBERT SPACES

Heilpern [1] introduced and studied the concept of fuzzy mappings and proved some fixed point theorems for fuzzy contraction mappings. Subsequently several authors studied and generalized the existence of fixed points and common fixed points of fuzzy mappings satisfying various contraction type conditions in metric spaces (see [2],[3],[4],[5], and others). Dutta P.N and Choudhury B.S [6] studied some fixed points for fuzzy mappings in Hilbert spaces. Further Shrivastava R. et al. [7] proved a common fixed point theorem for fuzzy type mapping in Hilbert space. Motivated by the results in [6, 7], we prove three common fixed point theorems for fuzzy rational type mappings in Hilbert spaces. The results extend and generalize many previous known results in the literature.

The role of the Communicative approach in Modern social and humanitarian Knowledge

We consider the ontological and epistemological foundations of communicative views from the standpoint of distinguishing the types of scientific rationality. The methodological basis of the analysis is the differentiation of three types of rationality. The study is also based on a comparative approach. When conducting the research, we used the methodological technique of gradation of system analysis. The modern epistemological status of the communicative approach is associated with three aspects of social existence: consistency, rationality, and communicativeness. The transition from strongly non-equilibrium states to sustainable social development presupposes the social significance of communications, their authenticity, and the implementation of rationality through systemic mechanisms. The communicative approach takes the form of an integral communicative concept, a type of system analysis. the meta-theoretical status of the communicative approach is determined by its expressed system resources.

The Effect of COVID-19 on hotel booking intentions: Investigating the roles of message appeal type and brand loyalty

The unprecedented global health concerns pertaining to COVID-19 have impacted the hotel industry. In order to ameliorate such concerns, hotels are sending out marketing communication messages. However, whether the messages effectively impact hotel consumers’ behaviors is still unknown. To fill this research gap, this study empirically tested the effect that the perceived severity of COVID-19 (PSC) has on hotel booking intentions as well as the roles of message appeal type (rational vs. emotional) and brand loyalty. The data was collected using a scenario-based online survey (n = 311) and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. The rational appeal type had a greater positive influence on hotel booking intentions, which suggests that it is preferable for COVID-19 related messages. The results also indicated that PSC had a negative influence on booking intentions for the low loyalty group, and brand loyalty still played a key role even amidst the COVID-19 crisis.

Проблема понимания правовой идентичности в контексте пост-постмодерна

In this article, the author poses the problem of understanding legal identity in the context of post-postmodernity, which is not reducible only to the modern epistemological tradition. The author shows that the new reality forms social practices in which a person loses his biological limitations and acquires qualities that turn him into a «post-human». Empowerment and the inclusion of technology in human nature requires understanding of its identity, including in the field of law. The article notes that modern high-tech and high-humo technologies have caused a lively discussion between those who stand for the expansion of morphological rights (biohackers, transhumanists, supporters of the philosophy of extrapianism, posthumanists, etc.), and those who are wary of breakthrough technologies future, seeing them as a threat to all mankind. Therefore, understanding the legal identity of a modern person requires a thoughtful, meaningful and verified approach, including from the point of view of traditional values and morality. To this end, the scientific community is invited to take a closer look at the anthropological-legal approach as a new research program that can act as an alternative to Western post-postmodern approaches with dubious social practices. As substantiated in the article, the use of the anthropological-legal approach as a kind of moderate post-postmodern type of scientific rationality, which focuses on the contextuality of legal phenomena, looks like a more adequate strategy than blind imitation of Western discursive practices. It is proved that the legal identity of a person within the framework of the designated position contains a dialectical combination of identity and difference, which does not oppose itself to another, providing acceptable mechanisms for adaptation to the system in which a person really lives, in which he realizes his social statuses, including in the sphere of rights. The article actualizes the idea that legal identity is a construct that is formed by a person at all stages of his formation as a being, potentially claiming a universal re-creation of himself and the world as a whole.

Results for Fuzzy Mappings and Stability of Fuzzy Sets with Applications

The purpose of this paper is to develop some fuzzy fixed point results for the sequence of locally fuzzy mappings satisfying rational type almost contractions in complete dislocated metric spaces. We apply our results to obtain new results for set-valued and single-valued mappings. We also study the stability of fuzzy fixed point γ-level sets. An example is presented in favor of these results.

RATIONAL TYPE CONTRACTION MAPPING THEOREMS ON MULTIPLICATIVE G-METRIC SPACES

In this article, we have extended the results of Y. U. Gaba by taking multiplicative G-metric space instead of G-metric space. In this way, we proved contraction mapping theorems on multiplicative, G-metric spaces using rational type contraction conditions for a single map. Later on, we extended our results in the settings of triplet maps. We have also given examples to support our results.

Культурология «начерно, шепотом» (к юбилею «литературоцентристской» культурологии)

The article reconstructs the framework of S.S. Averintsev’s culturology and outlines the contexts that make this theoretical model especially relevant today. The theory of the three stages of the word state, where, in addition to the poles in the traditional ‘sacred/reflexive (scientific, pluralistic)’ dichotomy is proclaimed an intermediate state, sacral-reflexive, and is interesting not only out of historical curiosity, it has significant heuristic potential. The current relevance of Averintsev’s culturology is ensured by the fact that his model is consistently and fundamentally realistic. A distinctive feature of this variant of culturology is the reliance on literary studies, on the typology of the word of M.M. Bakhtin. But this is culturology, the historical typology of culture, which leads to large-scale generalizations and universal models. In the late 1980s, Averintsev’s typology acquired the status of a historical model of types of rationality. This typology of culture turned out to be a ‘strong’ theory with many not only ontological implications, but also consequences important for epistemology and philosophy of science. Philosophers, art historians, historians and literary critics had reason thirty years ago to consider the challenges of such culturology provocative and nihilistic. It makes revolutionary demands on all humanities disciplines. But at the same time: the whole revolutionary nature of Averintsev’s theory remained precisely in the implications. The theory, which was ‘loud’ by the scale of universal claims, was pronounced in the published texts more than ‘quietly’, almost ‘in a whisper’. Perhaps, this antinomy is fundamental.

Онтологическое начало фантазии

Introduction. The article presents the ontological aspect of fantasy as a form of scientific knowledge. The concept of the role of normative scientific and cognitive structures and creative cognitive potential, which has ontological roots, in scientific knowledge is being developed. The study is conducted using works on the history and philosophy of science. The focus is on factors that are immanent to science and external to it, capable of not only influencing scientific activity, but also leading to a change in the types of rationality. Theoretical analysis. The ontological approach allows us to conclude that the mind and imagination are correlated at different stages of the development of knowledge in the scientific and cognitive process. Fantasy as a form of imagination can be used in the formation of a scientific fact, problem, hypothesis and theory. Techniques of fantasy can be considered such methods in scientific activity as analogy, typification, emphasis, eclecticism, which expand the scientific space and illustrate the features of post-non-classical scientific rationality, taking into account the worldview features of the mind. Conclusion. The ontological substantial beginning of fantasy is words, which are signs-symbols, filling and shaping the mental space of the subject, prompting the subject to a constant search for the unknown. At the same time сonsideration of the problem made it possible to identify the ontological beginnings of the fantasy phenomenon and to interpret the influence on scientific activity not only of the process of symbolization, ethical norms, metaphysical research programs, but also of the emotional reactions of the subject.

ROMAN-ESSAY BY V. MIKHAILOV «ONE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH ...» IN THE CONTEXT OF RECEPTIVE AESTHETICS

Philology as a social institution for ensuring communication plays an important role in modern society and in the modern educational space. The present article deals with the problem of studying the writer's creative personality from the standpoint of writer's reception as one of the trends in the development of the classical heritage of Russian culture and its modern interpretation, the definition of historical and cultural experience, as well as the function of influencing the modern reader. Of particular interest is the author's view of the creative personality, the literary tradition. The authors of the article pay attention to the disclosure of the role of the reader, analyze the motivation, reader's interest and the appearance of the reader, who acts as a recipient, on the one hand, and as an interpreter of a literary text, on the other. The emphasis is on the study of the novel-essay of the Kazakh writer, poet and publicist V. Mikhailov about M. Lermontov – «One between heaven and earth ...» in the context of its assessment by modern Russian literary critics. This kind of study has not been undertaken before, which may indicate the novelty of the research material.
 A comparative approach to the study of Russian literature, Russian prose of Kazakhstan, among other things, contributes to a new reading of literary texts from the point of view of the opposition «one's own» – «alien» in the context of the dialogue of cultures. For the basis the research takes the concept of receptive aesthetics as a dialogue between the text and the reader. Receptive aesthetics is aimed at studying reader's literary experience. The neoclassical model of scientific research is based on a special type of scientific rationality, on the possible synthesis of diverse cognitive practices. Reading a work of art is to study the comprehension of the meaning inherent in a particular text. Many new facts forgotten in the 20th century are introduced into scientific circulation by V. Mikhailov about the image of M. Lermontov and his image is revealed as of an artistic genius, a herald and harbinger of many events. It was concluded that his works are of interest to the contemporary readers as well. The meaning of an artistic (including poetic) text is concretized in a dialogue with the reader.

Modern War: Transformation to Network Forms

An attempt at epistemological knowledge is made with regard to the transformation of war as a socio-cultural phenomenon with an emphasis on the actualization of a new type of weapon – an information weapon. It is justified that network wars are a specific type of information wars. It is shown that the processes of the development of information warfare and its technological tools are connected with the change of the type of scientific rationality in the course of the historical development of man and society. It is emphasized that the network war is a factor in the formation of social fears and “existential vacuum”, since the information space actively affects social relations and the sphere of security. The conclusion is substantiated that at the center of war, as before, remains a person, their will, and network-centric war is human-centric, it does not have any center at all.

Suplementasi Vitamin E pada Level Nutrien Ransum Berbeda untuk Meningkatkan Pertumbuhan dan Mengatasi Cekaman Panas pada Ayam Lokal IPB-D3

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of vitamin E supplementation at different levels of ration nutrition on the variables. 160 IPB-D3 chickens were reared from grower to finisher with 16 experimental units. The experimental design used factorial RAL (2x2) with 4 replications. The first factor was the type of ration namely control rations with nutrient requirements equal to SNI and rations with nutrient requirements more than 10% of SNI (treatment rations) and the second factor was without and with vitamin E supplements 200 ppm vitamin E supplementation. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's follow-up test. The variables used included performance, lymphoid organs, blood profile, MDA, and catalase. The results showed that the treatment did not have significant effect on performance, but rations with nutrient content >10% SNI were able to increase body weight gain of IPB-D3 chickens compared to other treatments. The type of ration had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the thymus organ.Vitamin E supplementation was able to increase hemoglobin and basophil levels (p<0.05). There was an interaction between the type of ration and vitamin E supplementation on MDA and catalase (p<0.05). Provision of rations with the nutrient content >10% SNI increased catalase activity. Vitamin E supplementation suppressed the formation of MDA in rations with nutrient content >10% SNI. It can be concluded that supplementation of vitamin E 200 ppm with different rations still maintained lymphoid organs and blood profiles in normal conditions, suppressed MDA formation and increased the antioxidant enzyme activity.
 Key words: growth, lokal chicken IPB-D3, heat stress, vitamin E

A Gaussian Method for the Square Root of Accretive Operators

Abstract We consider the approximation of the inverse square root of regularly accretive operators in Hilbert spaces. The approximation is of rational type and comes from the use of the Gauss–Legendre rule applied to a special integral formulation of the fractional power. We derive sharp error estimates, based on the use of the numerical range, and provide some numerical experiments. For practical purposes, the finite-dimensional case is also considered. In this setting, the convergence is shown to be of exponential type. The method is also tested for the computation of a generic fractional power.

Coupled Fixed Point Theorems with Rational Type Contractive Condition via C-Class Functions and Inverse Ck-Class Functions

The purpose of this paper is to develop coupled fixed point theorems by C-class functions with mixed monotonicity, discuss the existence of the coupled fixed point of two mappings and obtain a coupled coincidence point theorem via inverse Ck-class functions in partially ordered H-metric spaces. This improves the existing results. In addition, some instances and an application are given to illustrate the usability and validity of the results.

Rational Homotopy Type and Computability

Given a simplicial pair (X, A), a simplicial complex Y, and a map $$f:A \rightarrow Y$$ , does f have an extension to X? We show that for a fixed Y, this question is algorithmically decidable for all X, A, and f if Y has the rational homotopy type of an H-space. As a corollary, many questions related to bundle structures over a finite complex are likely decidable. Conversely, for all other Y, the question is at least as hard as certain special cases of Hilbert’s tenth problem which are known or suspected to be undecidable.

Types of Rationality in Discourses on Work in (Post)Transformation Poland

Rationality is the key concept for understanding the reproduction of social life in the era of reflexive modernization. A fusion of lessons learned from the constructivist view of the world and anal­ysis of the hermeneutic category of pre-understanding has become the basis of my belief that rationality is nowadays the basic modal concept, and the forms of its existence shape the order of social life. In my research practice, rationality has become a link between my interest in work and the theory of social order development. In this paper, I briefly present the relations between the notion of rationality and the theory of reflexive modernization. Then, I present my research path and the tools used in the analyses. The most important part is devoted to the effects of the conducted research. I classify and describe the types of rationality present in discourses on work in Poland. The discourses of politicians, experts, and the so-called “ordinary people” were analyzed.
