Truth Value

I would like to explain the point of view from which this paper is written. And this in itself will be a difficult task. In a religious dialogue we could be concerned in some way with questions which arise as a result of serious differences in doctrines between adherents of different religions or religious faiths. The ensuing debate or dialogue could take the form of an argument conducted from points of view that are distinctly partisan. If two doctrines are or are taken to be in head-on collision with each other by those who accept these doctrines, the holder of one doctrine would argue with the holder of the other doctrine with the object of showing that he is partly or wholly in error. If two statements both claiming to have truth-value are, or are taken to be, inconsistent with each other, then it is clear that one or both of them are or must be taken to be partly or wholly false. To attempt to show by marshalling reasons that the proposition inconsistent with that which one holds is wholly or partly false is what I mean by the partisan approach. The approach in a dialogue is partisan even if truth is claimed and the opposing ‘error’ exposed by reference to authority; for so long as there is to be a dialogue the setting up of a particular authority or of an authority specified in a particular way has to be justified by reasoning or at least a show of reasoning. If reasoning flows from and terminates in an authority without flowing beyond it and around it, so to speak, the fact that that ‘authority’ is not accepted by the other party is sufficient to bring the dialogue to an immediate end, leaving room only for a futile talking at cross purposes.

The article follows the narrative trend initiated by the social media posts and fake news during the first months of the corona quarantine, which claims that the decrease of contamination due to the quarantine has a positive effect on the environment and nature recovery. The author describes the context of the topic and follows the changes in the rhetoric through different genres, discussing the ways in which a picture can tell a truthful story. What is the relation between the context, truth, and rhetoric? This material spread globally, yet it was also readily “translated” into the Estonian context, and – what is very characteristic of the entire pandemic material – when approaching this material, truthful and fabricated texts, photos, and videos were combined. From the folkloristic point of view, these rumours in the form of fake news, first presented in the function of a tall tale and further following the sliding truth scale of legends, constitute a part of coping strategies, so-called crisis humour, yet, on the other hand, also a belief story presenting positive imagery, which surrounds the mainly apocalyptically perceived pandemic period and interprets the human existence on a wider scale. Even if these fake news and memes have no truth value, they communicate an idea – nature recovers – and definitely offer hope and a feeling of well-being.

The purpose of the work is to explore the point of view in Vasily Shukshin's short stories in its systematic and diverse manifestation. Topicality is provided by the exceptional significance of this category in narratology. The study of the point of view based on the material of short stories by Vasily Shukshin has been conducted for the first time. The article briefly traces the history of scientific understanding of the category of point of view in foreign and Russian philology and notes the variety of approaches and definitions in the formulation of the concept. The authors use the classification of Boris Uspenskij for analysis and consider the point of view in Vasily Shukshin's short stories in psychological, ideological (evaluative), spatial-temporal and phraseological terms. The positions of Boris Korman, Yuri Lotman, Wolf Schmid and Franz Karl Stanzel also take into account. The authors note the features of Vasily Shukshin's narration that affect the expression of the point of view in the text. Vasily Shukshin's short stories are characterised by a dynamic and frequent change of points of view, which indicates the technique of “montageˮ and similarities in this regard with cinematic techniques. The conclusions generalise the variety of ways and forms of expression of the point of view in the studied artistic material. The point of view in the considered stories is characterised by variability in the correlation of subjects of speech and subjects of consciousness, alternation of external and internal points of view, mutual transitions from one to the other, text interference and other hybrid phenomena.

The Right

Green logistics is very attractive and request the point of view. Many companies try to be “green”, but on the other hand they also must be quick, be in right time in the right place and everything with as low costs as possible. So because of it, they use more road freight transport. Nowadays road freight transport is much expanded as transport companies prefer the possibility to operate just-in-time.  There are several advantages that give road freight transport the first place. Firstly, the truck can be prepared whenever, no matter what time is chosen.  Secondly, the flexibility and no more borders with customs control inside the Schengen Area make freight transport quicker. On the other hand, innovative approaches ask for environmental protection, which becomes one of the most important points of view.  If countries support this environmental friendly transport, this would be reflected in the transport prices which should make rail transport more interesting. Using the methodology in the manuscript was divided to three steps. The first step is to identify relevant questions related to border crossing. Next step is to elaborate a list of border problems, and the last step is an analysis of available data.

Reflective understanding involves the evaluation of our personal attitude formed of our changing, often faulty, and frequently conflicting beliefs, emotions, desires, experiences, and evaluations. Their evaluation proceeds from two points of view. One is that of our personal attitude. The other is the point of view of the various modes of evaluations that jointly form the evaluative framework of the context in which we live. Both kinds of evaluations may be faulty. Reflective understanding involves the critical evaluation of the reasons for and against the prevailing social evaluations that follow from our personal attitude and of the reasons for and against our personal attitude that follow from the prevailing social evaluations. The test of the adequacy of our personal attitude is our satisfaction with our life. And the test of social evaluations is the continued long-term allegiance of those who follow the social evaluations, although they need not do so.

Poetic Composition

We consider the problems of composing a literary text based on the material of texts by B.A. Uspenskiy. It is proved that as a compositional possibility in the formation of a work can be elicit one or many points of view from which the narration in the literary work is conducted on the concept of “polyphonic collegiality”, in the other words, it finds expression both “internal” (with respect to the work) and “external” points of view on how the point of view of collegiality in the text is understood and determined. Collegiality is one of the main characteristics of the Russian national spirit, which has a telling Impact not only on the creative thoughts of Russian writers, but also on the thinking of Russian theorists in the construction of literary theories. It is justified that the poetics of B.A. Uspenskiy's composition is a continuation and development of M.M. Bakhtin's theory, that M.M. Bakhtin's polyphony is only one of the components in the relation of various points of view in ideological terms. According to B.A. Uspenskiy, the composition of literary text is a multidimensional spatial “free and organic unity”, consisting of multifaceted points of view, possessing both their relative independence and interconnected among themselves.

Points Of View

A differential equation may be regarded from two points of view, one purely analytical, the other geometrical. From the analytical point of view, a differential equation of the first order is merely a functional relation between x, y, and p (where p = dy/dx), and the problem of solving the equation is to find a function of x, say f(x), such that if f (x) and df(x)/dx are substituted for y and p in the equation, the result is an identity in x. In the geometrical method, on the other hand, x and y are treated as the co-ordinates of a point in a plane and p as a direction. The differential equation then attaches to every point in the plane a certain direction, which may be conveniently represented by an arrow drawn through the point. The problem of integration then resolves itself into finding a family of curves, such that, at every point (x′, y′), the direction of the curve at that point is the direction obtained by substituting x′ and y′ in the differential equation and solving for p. These curves are called the integral curves of the equation. This method owes its development chiefly to Lie.

The Relationship

The teaching of Earth Sciences (ES) is particularly delicate and seems to be problematic for both learners and Moroccan teachers for multiple reasons. Based on this observation, this study aims at identifying the difficulties related to the teaching of ES by exploring the points of view of the Moroccan teachers toward this field. As an investigative tool, we used a questionnaire and semi-directive interviews with nearly 122 secondary school teachers of Life and Earth Sciences (LES). The results of our survey revealed that the major difficulties that hinder the teaching of natural sciences are mainly related to the teachers’ university studies. Most of them had training in biology as well as in the relationship that the natural sciences maintain within time and space, the limited abstraction capacity of unmotivated learners, and the inadequacy of their prerequisites in these sciences. On the other hand, they were aware of the demotivating geological knowledge taught to the learners and the lack of initial and continuous training for teachers, especially for those who specialized in natural sciences.

Conceptual Study

Pre menstrual syndrome (PMS) is distressing psychological, physical and/ or behavioural symptoms. It occurs during the luteal phase of menstrual cycle. The significant regression of symptoms comes with onset of or during the period. PMS can also be defined as a combination of emotional, physical and psychological disturbances. It occurs after a woman’s ovulation, which gets end with onset of her menstrual flow. Here, in this review a detailed explanation about its etiology, symptoms, signs, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and its treatment are being described. Ayurveda points of view regarding PMS are also being described. Premenstrual syndrome can be probably correlated with Rituvyatita Kalaja Pitta Vata Vriddhi. As Vata dosha plays important role in aggravating the other Doshas as well. Vata Dosha imbalance causes the imbalance state of other Doshas causing premenstrual syndrome. Vata in association with Pitta and Kapha simultaneously vitiates Manodosha and Rasadhatu. Mithyahar vihar is the Samanya nidana for this syndrome.

It is exactly by a neologism of a « sub-psychodrama » that the playwright and French director Jean-Luc Lagarce (1957-1995) defined one of his plays. The similarities between psychodramatic practices and Lagarce's dramatic works are obvious. As in the context of psychodramatic practice, Lagarce's characters take on roles and identify with them from a carnal as well as linguistic point of view. The situation in which Lagarce's characters meet is very close to that which is, among others, treated by psychodramatists: the dialogue is not initialized, the individuals are stuck in their reproaches and focus only on their own points of view. Lagarce's characters use the theatricalization, the putting in voice of a dramatic text of one of them in order to launch the speech that awaited this moment of expression. The sub-psychodrama, while being a poetic and dramatic concept of Lagarce, reveals the dialogical malaise in the contemporary society that the sub-psychodrama quotes while highlighting the complex mechanisms of the intersubjective perception as well as the mechanisms of our individual and collective memory. Both reflective self-perception, which goes from oneself to oneself, and transitive perception, which goes from oneself to the other or from the other to oneself - in the context of a speech act. The sub-psychodrama presents itself, therefore, as a dialogical and perceptive field of battle where the spoken word is in search of its answer. The sub-psychodrama invented and developed by Lagarce puts the concept of paper beings - linguistic puppets - at the same level, while promoting the coalition of puppet theater and word drama.

Points Of View

The precise nature of the change which ushers in the development of the egg has been much discussed. Broadly speaking, the problem may be said to have been considered from two points of view, the chemical and the physical. According to the point of view, the spermatozoon or the parthenogenetic agent has been supposed to start a chemical change within or at the surface of the cell, or to alter the physical properties of the surface. Loeb, for instance, in a recently published book, ascribes development to the introduction of certain substances into the interior of the egg. Lillie, and McLendon, on the other hand, regard an increase in the permeability of the egg surface to electrolytes as the precursor of development. The experiments described in this paper favour in general the latter hypothesis; but as they do not support the theories of Lillie and McLendon in detail, it will be well to give at the outset a brief sketch of the work of these investigators. In 1910 Lillie showed that the unfertilised eggs of lose their pigment when placed in isotonic solutions of various sodium salts. The order of effectiveness of the anions was found to be Cl<Br<NO 3 <CNS<I; this is also the order in which these ions affect the state of aggregation of colloids. If the eggs are removed from these solutions after an appropriate interval, membranes are formed round the eggs and a certain number develop into larvae. In the following year he showed that the effect of these sodium salts can be inhibited by the addition of calcium salts to the solutions. Accepting the view of Hamburger, Höber, and others that the phenomena of cytolysis are primarily due to an increase in the permeability of the cell surface to ions, Lillie arrived at the following conception of the fundamental processes which attend the development of the unfertilised egg:— Before fertilisation the egg membrane is freely permeable to kations, but only very partially permeable to anions ; hence, the egg membrane must be the seat of an electrical charge which is determined by Nernst’s formula E = u‒v / u+v RT/F log c 2 / c 1 , where u is the velocity of the kation and v of the anion; RT/F is constant; c 2 and c 1 the concentration of electrolytes inside and outside the cell. After fertilisation, however, the value of v is increased, so that the surface polarisation is decreased. It is this loss of surface polarisation which is the fundamental factor in the develop­ment of the unfertilised egg. From various general conclusions Lillie concludes that no cell can withstand a sustained condition of increased permeability, for such a condition would disorganise the electrolytic contents of the cell. Hence, after fertilisation, the permeability must fairly quickly be reduced again to its former value. In the case of eggs which are treated with butyric acid Lillie holds that the subsequent treatment with hypertonic sea-water effects this decrease in permeability.
