The article considers the anti-representational paradigm regarding the concept of “language” presented by the American thinker, the founder of neopragmatism, Richard Rorty. Richard Rorty is the most cited philosopher in the Western philosophical community, the popularity of the texts of the American thinker, and the resonance of his ideas in the modern philosophical community are of great interest and discussion. The relevance of the topic in the context of postmodern society is dictated by the fact that modern American philosophy, in particular, neopragmatism and the concept of “language”, are insufficiently studied and covered in Ukrainian philosophical studies. The purpose of the article is to update the discussions about the philosophical tradition of neopragmatism by Richard Rorty regarding the concept of “language”. The research methods of the study are comparative analysis and descriptive reconstruction. In the course of the study, the following provisions of the philosophy of Richard Rorty have been analyzed: criticism of the epistemilogization of the discourse of philosophy; analysis of the main provisions of neopragmatism, in particular, the theory of truth and anti-representational paradigm regarding the concept of “language” as the basic concepts of human culture.The analysis of the specifics of the formulation and understanding of the main philosophical ideas in R. Rorty’s neopragmatic theory of knowledge allows approaching their analysis unconventionally, which does not refute, but complements and deepens the classical concepts, allowing them to be fruitfully applied to solving problems of specific sciences.

The Relationship

Although the question of relationship between basic concepts of traditional ontology and central concepts of fundamental ontology is not a topic which is systematically dealt with in Being and Time, it is obvious that some of the theses which are crucial not only for Heidegger's interpretation of philosophical tradition, but also for the whole project of fundamental ontology, concern this 'conceptual scheme'. In fact, the backbone of Heidegger's critical confrontation with dominant philosophical conceptions is the question of relationship between the concept of 'substance' and the concept of 'Being', i.e. the discussion of philosophical doctrines in which 'Being' is reduced to 'substance'. Besides this context, which concerns the ontological problematics in the strict sense, it is possible to show that the refutation of the basic categories of traditional ontology is an issue which has a decisive role in more concrete phases of the realization of the project of fundamental ontology. This is especially confirmed in Heidegger's discussion of the concept of 'Being-There'. The interpretation of Heidegger's treatment of the relationship between the concepts of 'Being-there', 'existence' and 'existentials' on the one hand, and the concepts of 'substance', 'essence' and 'categories' on the other, shows that one of Heidegger's basic theses is that a transformation of concepts of traditional ontology is necessary for an appropriate understanding of human being.

The Russo-Georgia war in 2008 and the conflict in Ukraine in 2014 galvanized the countries, which are namely squeezed between NATO and Russia into considering their strategies again. The paper examines Russia’s efforts to maintain its influence in its “near abroad” in the face of NATO’s enlargement. It principally focuses on identifying the challenges particular countries face as obstacles to NATO accession. The arguments raised in the paper prove that, the primary reasons of Russia-Georgia War and Ukraine conflict are associated with these countries’ NATO aspiration. An argument regarding the Alliance’s reluctance to actively engage in partner nations is also presented. The objective of the study is to consider the repercussions of NATO aspiration and introduce the real prospects of cooperation with NATO. The research methods primarily used in the book are comparative analysis and synthesis.

Quality of branch industry andragogy (education of adults) has become an issue of importance, taking into account the necessity of lifelong and lifewide learning (LLL) and the essentiality of smart specializations. Due the COVID-19 pandemic, quality of on-line branch industry andragogical activities may prove to be a challenge. The main aim of the article is to analyze and systematize the quality areas concerning on-line branch industry andragogical activities, enabling verification of the assumed quality areas (i.e. means of communication/education/socialization, added value, verification of achievements by the user and feedback type for the andragogical activities organizer). The approach applied in the article is of descriptive-empirical nature. Research methods include induction, deduction and literature studies (the method of critical and comparative analysis was used). The article concludes with a suggestion of research on quality attributes, especially demanded in Poland.

This article analyzes the results of a sociological survey, which con- firmed the relevance of the issues of accessibility of providing medicines to various categories of citizens. The purpose of this study was to study the attitude of citizens to the existing system, as well as to identify the strengths and weaknesses of preferential security. The main research methods were: the method of studying and generalizing experience; comparative analysis; sociological survey; statistical. According to the presented data, the distribution of answers to questions is determined in % depending on the total number of respondents, including in the dynamics for the analyzed period (2019-2021). This study served as a tool for studying the key problems in obtaining preferential medicines (waiting times for a doctor to issue a prescription, the absence of a prescription in a pharmacy, the refusal of a doctor to issue medicines, etc.). Thus, the results of the conducted sociological survey showed that the LAW system plays a significant role in the structure of healthcare. At the same time, first of all, it is necessary to carry out additional work with various age groups of the popu- lation in the framework of providing information about the possibilities of the additional preferential security system.

Entity Relationship Modeling

With the rising complexity of database applications, the basic concepts of Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling (as originally developed by Chen, 1976) were no longer sufficient. So the basic ER model was extended to include generalizations and specializations (Bagui & Earp, 2003; Elmasri & Navathe, 2003) and the concept of categories (Elmasri, Weeldreyer & Hevner, 1985). An ER model which includes all the concepts of the original ER model and the additional concepts of generalizations/specializations and categories is often referred to as the Extended ER (EER) model (Elmasri & Navathe, 2003). In this short paper, we shed some light on these relationship concepts, concepts that database designers often find difficult to model directly (Engels et al., 1992/1993). We also discuss the mapping rules for generalizations/specializations and categories. Important contributions in this area are also reported in (Elmasri et al., 1985; Markowitz & Shoshani, 1992; Dey, Storey & Barron, 1999; Wiederhold & Elmasri, 1980). Song, Evans, and Park (1995) also give a good comparative analysis of other types of ER diagrams and their notations.

Immobilization Techniques

Dyes are xenobiotic compounds widely used by textile, leather, paper, printing, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Decolorization and dye degradation in the effluents is a prime hurdle in its treatment, and there is still a shortage of economically attractive and easy-to-operate treatments that can eliminate dye pollution. In recent years, chemical-based treatments are being replaced by greener technologies at the lab and industrial scale to combat dye pollution. It is noteworthy that immobilization is a biotechnological tool that greatly enhances bioremediation's potential. The present review has covered the basic concepts of immobilization, including the different immobilization techniques and the various carriers used for immobilization. The efficient immobilization of a biocatalyst depends on the proper choice of a carrier combined with a suitable immobilization technique. Hence, this review provides a comparative analysis of the different immobilization techniques and carriers used. Further, there is an in-depth discussion on the potential of immobilized enzymes and cells as bioremediation agents for dye degradation. Nearly all the studies indicated that immobilization enhanced the biodecolorization of colored wastewater compared to free systems. Further, the potential of immobilized systems for large scale industrial implementation was also examined. The article ends with a note on the loopholes of research on immobilization and future scopes of this technique.

The Way

This essay explores a philosophical tradition that Stanley Cavell has traced out and which he emphasizes as being American inasmuch as it is arises out of the thinking of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. It then investigates how the poems of the avant-garde poet Michael Palmer link with, overlap with, this strain of American philosophy in terms of how it enacts an understanding of what we might call “philosophical mood,” on outlook based on the navigation of representation, generative self-consciousness, and doubt that amounts to a form of epistemology. The essay does not trace the influence—direct or otherwise of Cavell and his arguments for philosophy on the poems, despite a biographical connection between Cavell and Palmer, his former student. Instead it brings out the way that one might fruitfully locate Palmer’s work within an American literary/philosophical continuum. The article shows how that context opens up the work to a range of important existential and ethical implications. I endeavor to show that Notes for Echo Lake, Palmer’s most important collection, locates itself, its language, within such a frame so as to provide a place for readerly encounters with the limitations of language. These encounters then are presented as an opportunity for a deeper understanding of subjectivity and for attuning oneself to the role that active reading and interpretation might play in moral perfectionism.
