Poetics of the same: a philosophical poetic recourse into sameness
No full textPhDThis study endeavours to investigate the philosophical and poetological
dimensions, the philological origins, and significant philosophical-literary
representations of the Same. It also assesses sameness as a philosophical and
poetological modus operandi; that is to say, it analyzes the ways in which the
Same operates in different types of discourses both as an object of investigation
and as an agent of (poetic) thought. The concept of the Same or the operation of
sameness as the philosophical question par excellence will be considered in the
development of Continental philosophy and philosophical poetics from classical
antiquity to Postmodernism, and its transposition into poetry.
The elaboration of the issue of sameness encompasses any philosophical
inquiry which seeks to establish the essence of Being and make it susceptible to a
general, unifying principle: as a search for an underlying element; for a
metaphysical unity or universal, preceding division or difference and amounting
to the harmony in the Universe; or for a transcendental absolute totality.
Postulations of the pure conceptual difference are likewise examined as part of the
elaboration of sameness, and will be viewed as indispensable for revealing the
genuine plenitude of sameness.
Part One traces the inception of sameness as a concept of pure identity,
amounting to the harmony of the Universe by virtue of the operations of
belonging (Presocratics), participation (Plato), and emanation (Plotinus), anchored
in the relationships between the One and the many, between the Whole and its
parts, between the Original and the copy. Part Two inquires into the limits of
postulating sameness in terms of pure identity and points to two possible solutions
to this problem: a philosophical-aesthetic digression from sameness (Kant and
related aesthetic theories of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries) and the
return to sameness as an absolute totality in Part Three (Schelling and Hegel).
Part Four investigates the re-postulation of sameness as pure Difference
(Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida), hence the entire re-organization of thought in
terms of the other. Part Five analyzes the transposition of sameness from
3
philosophy into the poetic language of repetition, using Rilke’s Sonnets to
Orpheus as its prime poetic example.
It will be argued that the philosophical displacement of the Same from a
concept of identity into that of difference does not amount to an abandonment of
its plenitude, but rather points to the need for a precarious balance between
sameness and difference, the simultaneous quest for unity and the absolute
singularity of the other. This balance, it will be argued, must be sought for in
every genuine creation
North-West Russia in the context of European integration
No full textIntegration is one of the main consequences of globalization. Elements of microsystems are growing closer, which brings to the foreground problems of interaction and — in a longer perspective — those of close cooperation between different social systems. The article considers the case of North-West Russia, the only territory having a common border with the EU, in order to examine the issue of Russia using the geographical factor, which Otto von Bismarck called the most powerful and intrinsic factor in history. The significance of this factor increased after the Cold War. It was then when the independent Baltic States became a platform for emergence and recognition of the Baltic Sea region. The author focuses on the social and cultural integrity of the region and considers the traditional Nordic countries and the Baltic Sea states as interrelated components of a single region, different from other European regions in terms of economic interests, as well as its natural and sociocultural landscape

Vnímání zahraničních manažerů whistleblowingu v České republice
No full textThe cornerstone aim of the research was to obtain in-depth knowledge on the whistleblowing from the perspective of supervisors, and reveal potential areas of conflicts, which could lead to retaliation, non-disclosure of the wrongdoings, and frustration of the witnesses of unethical behavior as well as answering the following main research question: What is the attitude of foreign managers to phenomena of Whistleblowing in the context of Czech Republic? In order to fulfill the goal of the research, author selected to conduct semi-structured interviews with the selected participants from the expatriate supervisors in the context of Czech Republic. It was revealed that supervisors in the contemporary context of Czech Republic have very positive attitudes towards whistleblowing in general, finding it a good business practice improving the level of business conduct under certain circumstances such as: following the corporate guidance, reporting internally, and inclusion of the supervisor in the process. In addition to that, it was revealed that there is significance level of knowledge gap of supervisors with regards to the legal regulations of whistleblowing related activities, and their over-reliance on the corporate frameworks, which they perceived as single source of truth.Základním cílem výzkumu bylo získat hluboké znalosti o whistleblowingu z pohledu dohledu, a odhalit potenciální oblasti konfliktů, které by mohly vést k odvetě a frustrace svědky neetického chování, stejně jako odpovědi na následující hlavní výzkumnou otázku: Jaký je postoj zahraničních manažerů na jevy, o Whistleblowing v kontextu české Republiky?

Towards the Privision Mechanism of the Implementation of International (Inter-State) Agreements by the CIS Member-states (Grachya Simonyan)
No full textРаздел - "Международное право", рубрика - "Вопросы теории"The article "Towards the Provision Mechanism of the Implementation of International (Inter-State) Agreements by the CIS Member-states" explores the reasons for ineffectiveness of the mechanism of implementation of the CIS acts. It introduces suggestions for perfecting the legal mechanism of their implementation on the basis of the analysis of issues
arising in the process of realization of the Commonwealth acts.
The author draws the following conclusions and makes the suggestions:
a) to outline a clear, compact structure of the Commonwealth bodies with the appropriate wide and concrete range of responsibilities taking into account the European Union's experience;
b) to revise all acts adopted in order to determine which of them are not relevant any more and consequently to recognize them out of force; to determine also whether the acts in any particular sphere of cooperation correspond to each other and to single out the states which have not fulfilled their obligations on the Commonwealth acts;
c) to determine the body responsible for the juridical expertise of all drafts of the acts introduced to be adopted within the Commonwealth framework and to provide control in order to prevent violation of the universally recognized
principles and norms during the formation of the CIS law;
d) to establish the schedule for consideration and ratification (implementation of internal state procedures) of treaties (agreements) signed by the member-states or develop and sign a general agreement regulating the order and schedule of
consideration and ratification of signed treaties (agreements);
e) to determine a body responsible for providing the control of enforcing the acts adopted in the CIS framework and to give it wide powers as follows: the right to inform the Council of the Heads of the States, the right to address the target
state with a proposal to fulfil its obligations, the right to appeal to the CIS legal body with a proposal of imposing certain measures (sanctions) on the target state;
f) to outline a list of measures (sanctions) for not fulfilling treaties, agreements and directives within the CIS framework and mechanism of their implementation.
The following measures and sanctions are suggested:
— suspension of the right to vote in the Council of the Heads of the States and in the Council of the Heads of the Governments;
— suspension of the membership in the CIS;
— suspension of the participation within the framework of a certain treaty (agreement);
— imposing a fine on the target state.
The author believes that it is necessary to determine a concrete body with a right to apply certain measures (sanctions) to the states, which avoid fulfillment of any obligations

Абсурдизация действительности в сатирической пьесе Увидеть Солсбери Виктора Шендеровича
No full textIn 2018, the story of the unsuccessful poisoning of the Skripals by Russian special services shocked the world, and the further appearance of “Petrov” and “Boshirov” in an interview with Margarita Simonyan with completely implausible explanations led to the emergence of many memes and humorous works. The satirical play by Viktor Shenderovich To see Salisbury (2019) can be considered as one of the most significant reactions created by Russian-speaking society to the lies of the state. It is successfully performed abroad and, of course, has no chance of being staged in Russia. The author asks the question: what if everything that Petrov and Boshirov told in a scripted interview on the air of on Russia Today is true, and they are not unsuccessful spies, but a couple of gay lovers who are interested in Gothic cathedrals and the Charter of Liberties? Reflections on their own blurry unstable identity led the characters to an existential crisis in the spirit of the Theatre of the Absurd. This paper analyses how the absurdity of reality in the play serves to create a comic effect. Shenderovich grounds his satire based on direct citation of the precedent text of the interview, known a priori to every Russian-speaking recipient, on the intertexts of the Russian linguistic culture, fills the gaps of perception with paradoxes, and answers the questions asked by the audience after the RT broadcast (Why do the passport numbers differ by one digit? Why do the characters know Simonyan’s personal phone number? etc.).In 2018, the story of the unsuccessful poisoning of the Skripals by Russian special services shocked the world, and the further appearance of “Petrov” and “Boshirov” in an interview with Margarita Simonyan with completely implausible explanations led to the emergence of many memes and humorous works.

Orbeli St, Yerevan, 0028, Armenia) 2 Yerevan State Medical University after Mkhitar Heratsi (2 Koryun St, Yerevan, 0025, Armenia)У одаренных детей выявляются особенности психического состояния, проявляющиеся симптомами тревожных расстройств, гиперчувствительности, повышенной возбудимости, что требует объективной динамической оценки их психофизиологического состояния. Цель: Обосновать использование аппаратурного комплекса «Биоскоп» для объективной оценки психофизиологического состояния одаренных подростков и их реакций на потенциально стрессовое воздействие. Материалы и методы. Из 500 участников исследования на основе психодиагностики были сформированы две группы обследования: первую составили одаренные подростки обоего пола (n = 35), вторую –подростки контрольной (нормативной) группы (n = 35). Психодиагностическое тестирование для определения одаренности проводили согласно трехкольцевой модели Джозефа Рензулли. Для оценки психофизиологического состояния использовали аппаратурный комплекс «Биоскоп», позволяющий дистанционно оценивать «интегративное состояние биологической системы». Оценку функционального состояния испытуемых проводили до и после предъявления заведомо неразрешимых задач (интеллектуальная нагрузка). Результаты. Исследование показало, что у одаренных подростков наблюдается более широкий спектр эмоциональных реакций на интеллектуальную нагрузку относительно контрольной группы. После выполнения интеллектуальной нагрузки у всех испытуемых наблюдали тенденцию к снижению частоты осцилляций и увеличению вариабельности межпиковых интервалов сигналов “Биоскопа”. Изменения спектральной мощности сигналов «Биоскопа» были разнонаправлены: у девушек мощность падала, а у юношей возрастала в обеих группах испытуемых. После интеллектуальной нагрузки значения мощности спектра ВВ-интервалов у одаренных подростков обоего пола падали, а в контрольной группе – возрастали. Заключение. Психофизиологические реакции на предъявление интеллектуальной нагрузки в виде заведомо нерешаемой задачи более выражены в группе одаренных подростков по сравнению с контрольной; девушки в отличие от юношей обеих групп реагируют на нагрузку, проявляя более выраженную тревожность и беспокойство. Полученные результаты указывают на перспективность использования комплекса «Биоскоп» в различных психофизиологических исследованиях. In gifted children, the features of mental state are revealed expressed in anxiety disorders, hypersensitivity and increased excitability, which require an objective and dynamic as-sessment of their psychophysiological state. Aim: the paper aims to substantiate the use of the “Bioscope” device for an objective assessment of the psychophysiological state of gifted adolescents and their responses to stress. Materials and methods: Participants were selected out of 500 persons and divided into 2 groups based on the use of psychodiagnostics: 1st group – gifted adolescents of both sexes (n = 35); 2nd group – control (normative) group (n = 35). Psy-chodiagnostic testing for giftedness was carried out according to the Renzulli three-ring model. To assess the psychophysiological state, the “Bioscope” hardware complex was used, which al-lows for the remote assessment of the “integral state of the biological system”. The functional state of the subjects was assessed before and after the so-called unsolvable tasks (cognitive load). Results: The study showed that gifted adolescents have a wider range of emotional responses to cognitive load compared to the control group. After performing cognitive tasks, all subjects demonstrated a tendency towards a decrease in oscillation frequency and an increase in the varia-bility of the inter-peak intervals of the “Bioscope” signals. Changes in the spectral power of the “Bioscope” signals were multidirectional: in female participants, the power decreased, while in male participants it increased in both groups of subjects. After cognitive tasks the power values of BB-intervals decreased in gifted adolescents of both sexes and increased in the control group. Conclusion: Psychophysiological responses to cognitive load (unsolvable cognitive tasks) are more pronounced in gifted adolescents compared to the control group; female participants of both groups respond with more pronounced anxiety. The results obtained indicate the prospects of using the “Bioscope” complex in various psychophysiological studies
