Objective: This article aims to discuss the role of the healthcare environment on patient’s autonomy. Referring to biomedical ethics will provide a research logic and form a theoretical framework for healthcare designers to define patient autonomy, to master the conditions for promoting it, and to discover the potential of the environment. Background: In modern society, it becomes the responsibility of healthcare architects to realize the design of “benefit for patients.” The goal of healthcare environment design and research is also gradually from a basic level of ensuring the physiological safety of patients to achieving a higher level of respecting patients and helping realize their self-realization. However, how to express respect to patients in the healthcare environment is ambiguous. In order to break through the limitation of architectural specialty, we propose to introduce biomedical ethics. Under this major premise, this article will discuss from the perspective of respect for autonomy (RA). Method: This article combines the definition of autonomy and the discussion of the medical and nursing practice to summarize and propose the themes about RA. It draws on the top-down deductive logic of biomedical ethics from theory to application and applies the three-condition theory of Beauchamp and Childress to deduce the role of the healthcare environment on patient autonomy in each theme. Conclusion: Introducing biomedical ethics into the study of environmental design provides a more theoretical and systematic way of thinking about the role of the healthcare environment. Some autonomy-supportive design strategies are collected and proposed.

Computational creativity in built environment (BE) design has been a subject of research interest in the discipline. This paper presents a critical review of various ways computational creativity has been and can be defined and approached in BE design. The paper examines a comprehensive body of contemporary literature on the topics of creativity, computational creativity, and their assessment to identify levels of computational creativity. The paper then proceeds to a further review of the implications of these levels specifically in BE design. The paper identifies four areas in BE design where computational creativity is relevant. In two areas—synthesis (generation) and analysis—there is considerable literature on lower levels of computational creativity. However, in two other areas—interfacing and communication—even the definition of computational creativity is not as defined and clear for the discipline, and most works only consider the role of computers as a supporting tool or medium. These open up future research opportunities for the discipline.

The author examines the concept of noosphere as applied in the document studies. In 1990ies, Kim Gelman-Vinogradov used in the document studies and introduced the concepts of the ‘noospheric document environment’ and noospheric document memory’. The author also demonstrates how Gelman-Vingradov’s ideas are related with A. V. Sokolov’s interpretation of documentosphere and definition of the document. The concept of nooinformation is examined as applied to the works by Yury Stolyarov and Roman Moltulsky, along with its relation to the documents as the object of library studies and to the concept of social (semantic) information. In the works of bibliography theorists: Galina Gordukalova, V. Fokeev, Alexandra Kumanova, the concept of noosphere is used to characterize document flows, document information, information modeling, and bibliographic compression of information. Arkady Sokolov’s proposal to develop noospherology, and his idea of the libraries; role in promoting the noospheric future and educating homo noospheric, is examined. The author also suggests that the noospheric approach will become a methodological instrument in documentospheric knowledge and will be of practical use for defining the role of libraries in the modern society.

The Impact

Abstract This essay explores three issues in respect for autonomy that pose unfinished business for the concept. By this, I mean that the dialogue over them is ongoing and essentially unresolved. These are: (1) whether we ought to respect persons or their autonomous choices; (2) the role of relational autonomy; and (3) whether nonhuman animals can be autonomous. In attending to this particular set of unfinished business, I highlight some critical moral work left aside by the concept of respect for autonomy as understood in Beauchamp and Childress’ Principles of Biomedical Ethics. Specifically, while significant pragmatic traction is gained by the authors’ focus on autonomous choice, carving such a focus out from the broader questions of moral respect and the autonomy of the person leaves aside a number of questions that we might have thought a view about respect for autonomy in biomedicine ought to answer. These include: How should physicians respond when autonomous patients make decisions that appear nonautonomous? What is the impact of the view that autonomy is “relational” for cross-cultural differences in how autonomy is respected? If chimpanzees (and by extension young children) can be autonomous, what does that mean for how they should be treated?

Anthropology Of Music

The aim of the article is to separate the concepts of musicology, music anthropology, music, and instrumentalism. This very division and reflection of the interrelations of concepts provide a starting point for a detailed study of the problems of musical instrumentalism. The article is methodological in nature. It contains a number of important settings that are necessary for the anthropological analysis of music. The Central theoretical explanation of the article is the separation of musical anthropology and the anthropology of music. For this purpose, a number of tasks, namely, the definition of the theoretical fields of musical anthropology and the anthropology of music, and the disclosure of the role of music in traditional and modern society are proposed. The concept of musical action is introduced. Solving these problems allows to give a more complete analysis of the relationship between a person and music. It is this problem that becomes the main problem in the music media mainstream, where popular music is used as a way of producing moods and experiences. Music becomes a particularly valuable commodity in a networked society, which is made not so much for the purpose of incorporating into the values of high culture but to control the behavior of people in the music market. In addition to commercialization, music is becoming an effective political technology that provides consensus among voters. In this regard, there is a cultural problem, how high art in general and music, in particular, can preserve its traditional purpose – to promote humanization

The article is devoted to the definition of the features of historical hermeneutics, the development of the concept of "understanding" within the pedagogical hermeneutic method; the inseparable connection of the theory of understanding and hermeneutics is shown; the path of the formation of hermeneutics as a direction of history has been followed and the vision of understanding by different researchers is considered. The question of the expediency of expanding the traditional means and methods of historical science at the expense of hermeneutics was violated. Such hermeneutical arsenal was used as attention to the historical text, the disclosure of its meaning (explicit and implicit), the use of practical hermeneutic knowledge in the process of studying the evolution of historical hermeneutics, pedagogical conditions and technologies that provide this understanding are considered. The role of pedagogical culture of teachers as the main factor of understanding is given. The relationship between education, personality and socio-cultural environment and its influence on the processes of understanding are considered. The survey makes it possible to conclude that the process of understanding is a complex methodological problem that is studied from different sides by hermeneutics, pedagogy, semiotics, history, psychology, sociology, and a number of other sciences. At the same time, the task is not to contrast all of these methods and approaches, but to reasonably combine and supplement them in order to obtain as the most accurate, complete and comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of the problem of understanding. The profound transformations that have taken place in modern society have put science and history in particular, in the face of the obvious fact of rethinking a large number of issues raised by the current needs of a new state of socio-economic and socio-cultural relations.

Children Of War

The article presents an attempt to analyze the moral and ethical problems of modern society in the prose of Lyudin Boziev. The writer performed mainly in the genre of lyrical prose, so his "I" plays a significant role in his work. It also draws attention to the autobiography of his works, in which he reflected the feelings and thoughts of his generation – the "children of war"; the movement of time and the complexity of human relationships. The authors of the article connect the moral search of L. Boziev with the national character, which is changing intensively in the era of globalization. The relevance of the research topic is determined by its innovative nature, associated with the analysis of the unexplored works of the Kabardian prose writer. The purpose of the study is to identify the specifics of the artistic solution of moral and ethical problems in modern Kabardian prose based on the material of L. Boziev's novels "The Arrogant becomes Mean" and "The Road of Life". It is achieved by solving a set of tasks, including: the definition of the national and ethical origins of the concept of "morality", the study of the problems and poetics of the novels of L. Boziev, establishing their connection with the Adyghe mentality, identifying the problem of morality and the specifics of its artistic solution. The research involves a number of general scientific methods (generalization, analysis, synthesis, description). The results obtained can become a theoretical aid in the further study of the work of L. Boziev, as well as in determining the role of a bright creative personality in the evolution of artistic consciousness.
