My father’s blessing
No full text"U ovoj odličnoj knjizi opisani su događaji i ljudski porivi koji su Ivana Singera preobrazili od 1941. godine pa do završetka rata, da nakon završene obuke u Sovjetskom Savezu, od jugoslovenskog studenta jevrejskog porekla postane očeličen vojni pilot. Našavši se u svetu koji je naglo lišen normi na kojima civilizacija počiva, Singer stavlja svoje lično iskustvo u kontekst šire slike sukoba u Jugoistočnoj Evropi. “Naša sudbina je određena. Mi je ne možemo promeniti”, reči su koje Singerov otac odan humanističkim principima govori svome sinu neposredno pred odlazak u nemački logor. Iako Singer ne prihvata očev stav, očev blagoslov, nada u bolji svet pomoći će mu da preživi najkrvaviji rat u istoriji" (prof. Terens Pejn)."This excellent book describes the events and human urges that transformed Ivan Singer from 1941 until the end of the war so that after completing his training in the Soviet Union, he became a successful military pilot from a Yugoslav student of Jewish origin. Finding himself in a world abruptly stripped of the norms upon which civilization is based, Singer places his personal experience in the context of the larger picture of the conflict in Southeast Europe. "Our destiny is determined. We cannot change it", these are the words that Singer's father, devoted to humanist principles, tells his son just before going to a German camp. Although Singer does not accept his father's attitude, his father's blessing, the hope for a better world will help him survive the bloodiest war in history" (Prof. Terence Payne)
The Singer or the Song? Developments in Performers' Rights from the Perspective of a Cultural Economist
No full textOver the last century, performers gradually acquired statutory protection of their economic and moral
rights. These rights are not copyright in the legal sense but neighboring rights and until recently, they
were mainly remuneration rights that are collectively administered. With the WPPT (WIPO
Performers and Phonograms Treaty), performers now have individual exclusive rights for digital
performances; this leads to the question: what has motivated this change – is it a change in the
perception of the value of performer or a change brought about by the changing technology of copying or,
indeed, a change that reflects different economic costs and benefits? The paper discusses the role of
copyright law as an incentive to performers and asks if the economic role of the performer is so different
from that of the author. The conclusion is that a complex interaction of the legal regulations, economic
conditions and institutional arrangements for administering these new rights will determine the outcome

Thermocapillary approaches to the deliberate patterning of polymers
No full textThe phenomenon of thermocapillarity, the response of fluids to thermal gradients due to thermal alteration of their surface tension, was first reported over a century ago. Since then, research has focused generally on either the fundamentals or mitigation of this effect during the processing of materials. Only in the past two decades has the deliberate use of thermocapillary forces for the patterning of polymers been actively pursued, either for the ordering of internal structure or the introduction of topographic features. This review seeks to highlight this work and further identify directions for further investigation. In particular, while thermocapillary forces are often inextricably bound to other mechanisms, there are emerging directions in the deliberate coupling of forces to improve the capabilities of each mechanism. Further, the applications of thermocapillary patterning to polymer-nanoparticle composites has recently provided another promising route to active architectures.Peer reviewed
Orpheus in the reception of Ivan Franco
No full textThe oeuvre of Trakai poet Orpheus and his semi mythic figure was often analysed and used in the works of Ukrainian writers. Ivan Franko often turned to the heritage of ancient poets. He translated and analys ed texts and paid a lot of attention to the figure of Orpheus. Contemporaries associated Ivan Franko with a Trakai poet. Lesya Ukrainka dedicated her work “Orpheus miracle” to Ivan Franko, and Mikolay Voronii compared Ivan Franko with Orpheus in his poem
Ivan Franko”. In the work "Something about Orpheus and the works attributed to him”, Ivan Franko analyzed the figure of Orpheus and references about poet in myths, works. Ivan Franco also used the image of Orpheus his own poetic
creativity. Collection Fad ed leaves depicts a singer in love. The image of Orpheus as a lost singer and unfortunate lover is traced in his poetry.Творчість тракійського співця Орфея і його напівміфічна постать часто досліджувалась та використовувалася у роботах українських письменників. Іван Франко часто звертався до нащаддя античних поетів, займався перекладами та аналізом текстів і приділив увагу постаті Орфея. Для сучасників сам І.Я.Франко асоціювався з тракійським поетом. Леся Українка присвятила свій твір "Орфеєве чудо" Івану Франку, а Микола Вороний у вірші "Іван Франко" порівняв із Орфеєм самого Івана Яковича. У праці "Дещо про Орфея та приписувані йому твори" Іван Франко детально аналізує фігуру Орфея та згадки у міфах, творах. Образ Орфея Іван Франко використовує і у власній поетичній творчості. Збірка "Зів’яле листя" змальовує закоханого співця. Образ Орфея як загубленого співця та нещасного закоханого простежується у творах збірки
Sentience and Beyond - A Representative Interview With Peter Singer AI
No full textPublisher Copyright: © The Author(s), 2025. Published by Cambridge University Press.This interview with Peter Singer AI serves a dual purpose. It is an exploration of certain - utilitarian and related - views on sentience and its ethical implications. It is also an exercise in the emerging interaction between natural and artificial intelligence, presented not as just ethics of AI but perhaps more importantly, as ethics with AI. The one asking the questions - Matti Häyry - is a person, in the contemporary sense of the word, sentient and self-aware, whereas Peter Singer AI is an artificial intelligence persona, created by Sankalpa Ghose, a person, through dialogue with Peter Singer, a person, to programmatically model and incorporate the latter's writings, presentations, recipes, and character qualities as a renowned philosopher. The interview indicates some subtle differences between natural perspectives and artificial representation, suggesting directions for further development. PSai, as the project is also known, is available to anyone to chat with, anywhere in the world, on almost any topic, in almost any language, at www.petersinger.ai.Peer reviewe
