The COVID-19 pandemic refreshes the view of urban spaces as objects of consumption. The article describes the constituent elements of urban space and the process of human interaction with it, mediated by sign-symbolic perception. The socio-philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of consumption as a phenomenon developing within the framework of understanding the praxeological relationship of human to world is presented. The study contains a synthesis of several modern concepts based on a sociocultural approach. Based on the concept of A. Warde, the author proposes that consumption be seen as a process that is a moment in the many practices of everyday life which is characterized by evaluation, use and appropriation. The act of consumption is viewed as an internally-oriented, goal-rational human behavior aimed at achieving emotional experiences, as a part of the self-determination of the individual (G. Schulze). The conceptual link explaining the articulation between emotion and consumption is to be found in the notion of “imagination”, understood, following E. Illouz, as the socially situated deployment of cultural fantasies. In everyday practices of the development of urban spaces by man, a combination of creation and use is found, which seems to be possible to conceptualize through the moment of appropriation, in the course of the act of consumption, considered as secondary production (M. de Certeau). Changes in everyday practices and human attitudes towards urban spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic are analyzed based on domestic and foreign research. The possibility of consolidating new forms of everyday practices is comprehended. Strengthening of a person's intrasubjective orientation is stated.

This chapter assesses the counterintuitive: the ending that “feels wrong,” or that does not work out as it seems it should. Certainly, this could mean many things, from a poorly constructed novel to the pedagogy implied by naturalist accident. The form of the counterintuitive that structures much of George Eliot's Daniel Deronda (1876), however, and which enacts the novel's stern moral lesson, develops from Eliot's more social concerns. Eliot, throughout her writing career, worked with an idea of narrative intuition, and formal morality, connected with the model consisting of a working out of the identity between an individual and the larger group. In Deronda, though, with its consistent concentration on ideas of probability and statistical significance, one sees a conceptual shift in Eliot's thinking about the relation of the one and the many. In short: though the larger workings of human interaction indicate that a certain state of affairs shall certainly come about at the largest levels, this offers no indication of how or when this might resolve in the individual case.

In order to analyze and justify the choice of the recommended modes of interaction of people in organizational entities, the article covers the main possibilities of increasing the effectiveness of human interaction on the basis of interpreting a typical management pair in the form of two elementary components that can interact in the "subject-object", "subject-subject”, “object-subject” and “object-object” modes, taking into account the fact that each component is characterized by a certain level of subjectivity. At the same time, the authors take into account the fact that during the life of a person and its life cycle in an organizational formation the level of subjectivity of any person varies within the boundary of the linear continuum object - subject, and its subjectity in organizational formation is defined by no means other, as the current state of the ratio of the number of formal and informal influences of the individual as a subject to other members of the organization to the number of the same effects on it as an object from other members of the organization. Due to the fact that the life cycles of the elementary components are characterized by the presence of each of the periods of increase in subjectivity with the achievement of each peak value and the subsequent gradual loss after release or retirement, it is demonstrated that the joint and equally effective activity of the components is possible only provided that they maintain the subject-subject mode of interaction, which corresponds to the dialogue of the two parties, rather than management of or management by one side of the other. Using the superposition of graph- analytic dependencies of Dunig-Kruger and changes in subjectivity throughout life, it is proved that the basic condition for the implementation of such a managerial dialogue is the awareness of both components of the managerial pair of the fact that the concept of the subject loses meaning without the existence of the object, and therefore maintaining the process of dialogue-cooperation is possible only under the condition of equality and freedom of the participants and the inter-orientation of each of the partners as the subject, the tool for establishing partnerships is management on the basis of the dialogue communication process with the mutual recognition of each of the participants in their freedom, equality and value - subjectivity. It has been established that the priority factors determining the results of the operation of a typical management pair are not the structure and the relationship between its constituent elements, but the intellectual, moral and psychological characteristics of these elements and the awareness of the latter as partners that jointly solve the problem with the achievement of mutually established and harmonized goals.

Human's relationship with the environment is strong and mutually beneficial, with thedevelopment of this relationship, a person develops and increases his awareness. The urban environment isa natural, physical, social and cultural milieu that a human lives in it, and get from him the life Constituents.As well as it is a product of human interaction with it, so the urban environment represents what has animpact on human behavior. It effects on human physiology and psychology then represented the relationshipconceptually, socially, and physically. the Cultural Constituents of the urban environment plays a criticaland essential role in user behavior, because they are part of the project they must be included in making thedesign decision as well as in treatment of urban spaces. on the other side, the comprehensive behavioralstudies are still few in this field, especially those studies that are based on ecological behavioral trend andthrough observing of behavior in the urban environment .The current study seeks to draw out a theoreticalmodel for developing ecological behavior measures, to evaluate the role of Cultural Constituents indetermining patterns and nature of human behavior through the experimental approach. Through theprevious literature has been identified the main research problem is represented ) There is a lack ofknowledge in the distribution of behavioral patterns in urban environments that have a high aestheticquality, also there are few objective measures that can be used as an indicator to evaluate the aestheticquality of the urban environment before its development and presenting urban designs in urban space andspecial organization (.According to the research problem, the goals and hypothesis of the research weredetermined, and an inductive experimental approach was defined theoretical and practical axes, also theresearch samples were identified (ten urban spaces in University of Babylon) were observing during (2018-2019),furthermore survey questionnaire sent to the experts In architecture, urban design and psychologyfield .Finally, the results were analyzed and the research found that aesthetic quality plays an important andmajor role in determining patterns and nature of behavior.

The present study investigated the effect of art on promoting the meaning of the urban space. In this regard, after considering the semantic dimension of the urban space and the mechanism of transferring the meanings of art through the views of experts, a model is presented for examin-ing the art’s cooperation in promoting urban space meaning in Tehran. In this study, a mixed method was used. In the first stage, the categories of space meanings influenced by art were ex-tracted through using the qualitative method of interpretive phenomenology and by examining 61 in-depth interviews in six urban spaces eligible for urban art in Tehran. In the second stage, these categories were surveyed in these spaces through 600 questionnaires after converting to the questionnaire items. Based on the results, "the possibility of the experience and perception", "social participation", and "the relationship with the context" were the main themes of the se-mantic relationship of art and urban space. Further, the lower scores related to the theme of "so-cial participation" in the quantitative investigations indicated that this theme was weaker than the other themes in promoting the meaning of the urban space through the art in the selected urban spaces.

The Relationship

This chapter considers the relationship of individual “self-control” to epistemic behavior and ethical responsibility. The authors distinguish deliberate ignorance into two forms: partiality-preserving and impartiality-enhancing, associating the former with “epistemic diligence/negligence” and the latter with “epistemic restraint/recklessness.” As such, they argue that ethical responsibility entails three prescriptive orders of self-control. First, in the moment, the individual should reactively self-control epistemic relevance. However, research on cognitive irregularities such as the introspection illusion highlights difficulties in doing so. Second, the individual should proactively regulate information available to self and others. Here, the authors’ own studies test whether individuals will consistently guard against information contamination. They find that a personal “bias blind-spot” compromises such epistemic discretion. Given epistemic responsibility but unreliable introspection, then, the individual needs a third order of self-control. That is, in certain decision-making situations the individual is obliged to utilize institutions of epistemic justice that mandate to decision-makers information availability/restraint.

Rapid Shift

AbstractThe momentous changes that have affected European cities over the last two centuries have had profound consequences for the configuration of urban space. Urban planning and architecture, torn between the dialectically opposed forces of permanence and change, particularly in building practices and the use of urban space, have had an important influence on the material construction of cities. The outcome was a strong focus on the individual architectural artefact and, at the same time, the spread of a process of atopical fragmentation of urban space and the gradual loss of status of contact space. The latter suffered a process of deterioration due to disaffection and abandonment of the practice and a rapid shift of interest towards space decontextualised and standardised by the networks. The recent experiences of Barcelona and Berlin have been a reaction to this impoverishment of the meaning of the city, drawing on the heuristic contribution of the Italian school of urban analysis to recover the constituent elements of urban space and the conventions that have determined the appearance of European cities and are part of the tacit understanding of their inhabitants.

‭During the sixteenth century, the Spanish crown sent Mendicant friars of the Franciscan, Dominican, and Augustinian monastic orders to evangelize and convert the indigenous people of America. With huge populations to convert, spread over an extremely vast territory, a limited number of friars had to find expedient ways to facilitate the conversion effort. Among the many conversion strategies used by the Mendicant friars under the early guidance of Fray Pedro de Gante were: to locate places of Christian worship over or near native ceremonial centers and continue the use of ceremonial open urban space; the incorporation of native religious rituals deemed compatible with Catholic liturgy such as processions, music, art, and dance; the creation of new architectural forms and open urban spaces to provide a setting for these rituals; and the substitution of native rituals for Catholic ceremonies including adjusting native and Catholic ritual calendric dates. Based on recent architectural field surveys and ethnographic documentation, this research focuses on the architectural and urban space adaptations that the missionary friars undertook to facilitate conversion efforts.‬

The high level of urbanization of the country, new approaches to the organization of urban space and new risks, the outlined contradiction between the desire for economic growth of cities and the social expectations of city-dwellers identified a socially significant problem — the formation and maintenance of the health of the population, in general, and the individual, in particular. Due to the development of the urban environment, the increase in the quality of life of the population, especially large cities, the emergence of new social practices and leisure activities, the problem of maintaining health undergoes serious changes in all its components — the goals and forms of their achievement, subjects and boundaries. The importance of urban space in the formation of a new attitude to the health of city-dwellers in a sociological interpretation is seen as creating favorable conditions for involving and maintaining the interaction of all entities interested in increasing the physical activity of the population, carrying out targeted actions to jointly achieve a socially significant result by directly or indirectly uniting individuals into groups varying degrees of stability and formalization to maintain their health.

IntroductionCurrent research suggested that avolition in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) is not due to a deficit of hedonic experience, but to a poor ability to translate pleasurable experiences into motivational states. In line with this hypothesis, several evidences showed a preserved hedonic experience, even in the presence of severe trait anhedonia and avolition in SCZ.ObjectivesTo test the hypothesis that memory dysfunction, generally found in SCZ, could lead to inaccurate representations of emotional experiences and interfere with translation of pleasurable experience in motivation.AimsThe present study was aimed to investigate the relationships between state and trait anhedonia, avolition and cognitive functioning in 35 SCZ.MethodsIn SCZ and matched healthy controls (HC) the Temporal experience of Pleasure (TEPS) and Chapman's scales were used to assess trait anhedonia. The MID task was used to assess in-the-moment hedonic experience. Avolition was measured by the Schedule for the Deficit Syndrome. MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery was used to assess cognition.ResultsSCZ did not differ from HC on TEPS or on MID task performance but reported higher scores for trait social anhedonia. Trait social anhedonia was associated with memory dysfunction and showed a correlation with avolition.ConclusionsOur results confirm the disjunction between state and trait anhedonia and demonstrate a relationship of the latter with memory impairment and avolition, suggesting that inaccurate representations of emotional experiences might impede their translation in motivation to act.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

A city's walkability is a measure of how friendly, safe and attractive a city is for walking within it. Moreover, a well-designed walkable environment can become a place where many social, political, and other important urban activities occur. Following the appearance of motorised vehicles, cars have occupied urban spaces, with many city structures changing according to motor vehicles' requirements rather than pedestrians. Regardless of the many benefits that cars bring to people’s lives, the overuse of cars has had many social, physical, and economic consequences. Based on the reviewed literature, this research analyses the relationship between the built environment and walking, behavioural factors and travel mode choices, walking as a means of socialisation and as a transportation mode. In addition to these factors, four main groups of criteria contributing to increased walking rate are identified: lifestyle, urban design factors, personal and locational factors. Each of these groups has comprehensive sub-categories that can evaluate the walkability of a street or an urban space. This research mainly examines the relationship between the built environment's physical properties and the walkability of urban space.
