Традиционно медицина считалась территорией милосердия, куда больной обращался не только за лечением, но и за моральной поддержкой и состраданием. Однако последнее время пациенты и общество в целом все чаще сталкиваются с тем, что медицинские работники не отвечают на этот запрос – медицинская помощь превращается в услугу, и пациенты все реже находят успокоение, утешение в словах врача. Нередко будущие врачи теряют способность откликаться на чужую боль, сопереживать уже на стадии обучения, пропитываясь специфической атмосферой медицинского мира, приобщаясь к его культуре. Одним из элементов этой культуры является язык, на котором говорят и пишут сами врачи, а также непрофессионалы, если они касаются вопросов медицины. В свою очередь, важным элементом любого языка являются его метафоры. Проведя анализ использования метафор в медицинском дискурсе, можно составить представление о языковом мире медицины, а по нему и о медицинском мире в целом. Весьма показательно, что одной из наиболее часто встречающихся метафор в медицинском дискурсе является военная метафора. При этом, как и всякая метафора, она не только отражает, но и формирует в сознании людей картину мира, выполняя при этом как положительную, так и отрицательную роль. Ее отрицательное влияние на общую атмосферу мира медицины к настоящему моменту признано столь существенным, что все чаще высказывается мнение о необходимости отказаться от ее использования в медицинском дискурсе, заменив метафорами сотрудничества и гармонии. В их ряду среду первых называют метафору пути, которая в настоящее время довольно органично входит в медицинский дискурс и позволяет больному осмыслить долгую жизнь с неизлечимой болезнью, а врачу найти свою роль старшего попутчика, инструктора, гида в этом путешествии, общение с которым может обладать терапевтическим эффектом. Traditionally, medicine was considered to be a territory of mercy, which the patient turned to not only for treatment, but also for moral support and compassion. Recently, however, patients and society as a whole have been increasingly confronted with the fact that medical professionals do not respond to this request: medical care has become a service, and patients are less and less likely to find comfort and consolation in the words of a doctor. Future doctors often lose the ability to respond to other people’s pain and to empathize at the stage of training when they absorb the specific atmosphere of the medical world, join its culture. One element of this culture is the language that doctors, as well as laypeople if they are concerned with medical issues, speak and write. An important element of any language is its metaphors. By analyzing the use of metaphors in medical discourse, one can get an idea of the linguistic world of medicine, and of the medical world as a whole. It is quite revealing that one of the most common metaphors in medical discourse is the military metaphor. Like any metaphor, it not only reflects, but also forms a picture of the world in people’s minds, playing both positive and negative roles. Its negative impact on the general atmosphere of the medical world has been recognized to be so significant that there is an increasing tendency to suggest that its use in medical discourse should be abandoned, and it should be replaced by metaphors of cooperation and harmony. The first among them is the metaphor of a journey, which nowadays enters quite organically into medical discourse. This metaphor allows the patient to comprehend their long life with an incurable disease, and the doctor to find their role of an older fellow traveler, instructor, guide in this journey; communication of the former with the latter may have a therapeutic effect. By analyzing the use of the military metaphor in medical discourse in a temporal context, we can conclude that “yesterday” it allowed us to create a more or less adequate picture of the medical world in the minds of people, “today”, not keeping pace with the changes occurring in this sphere, it begins to introduce distortion, from which both patients and medical staff, as well as society as a whole, suffer; therefore, “tomorrow” its use in medical discourse will most likely decrease, giving way to metaphors of peace, unity and harmony.

The Impact

With the arrival of the “World Wide Web,” we have witnessed a transition toward a truly global perspective with respect to electronic health records. In recent years, much more discussion has focused on the potential for international virtual electronic health records and what is required for them to become a reality in the world today (Kilman & Forslund, 1997). As the Internet becomes more ubiquitous and Web-enabled, we see access to electronic health records using these technologies becoming more commonplace. Even so, these Web-enabled health records still remain technologically isolated from other medical records in the distributed continuum of care; much of the standardization challenge still stands before us. We have witnessed startling technological advances, but we still face considerable obstacles to the goal of having globally standardized electronic health records. In this chapter we describe some of the issues associated with Web-enabled health records, the role of standards in the evolution of Web-enabled health records, and some of the barriers to the development of globally accessible electronic health records. We discuss possible ways to overcome these barriers and the kinds of benefits and opportunities that global health records will help provide. The global scale perspective makes more evident the very real and potentially tragic consequences of prolonged and unnecessary delays in deploying these technologies. Therefore, in an effort to promote a fuller consciousness of health safety, the chapter concludes with a comparative look at the negative impact of impediments in the movement toward global extensible electronic health records.

The chapter introduces key debates related to the role of the diaspora in their home economies, particularly the role that they can play as returnee entrepreneurs. With increased movements of people around the world, the role of transnational economic activity is becoming ever more significant. The chapter shows that the diaspora can be caught between isolation and assimilation. They can be isolated because of their years living abroad, as well as their negative perceptions of the institutional environment at home. Yet many of them also wish to become more assimilated and have an emotional desire to help their home country. Many stay away and do not invest. Those who return later can seek to avoid the negative impact of barriers to entrepreneurship, and can for example avoid government engagement activities as they mistrust policy actors’ intentions. The chapter sets out the implications of these different types of engagement for homeland economies.

Long Life

A life course perspective, drawing on historical and personal experiences, is used to identify eye-opening concepts that can be used to make sense of the world in terms of personal and social ageing, in the context of intergenerational relationships. Two issues have been identified that characterise a challenge to cultural adaptation: that of generations increasingly becoming approximately the same size as they move from demographic triangles to columns, and that of finding an age-specific purpose for a long life. An analysis of contemporary problems facing gerontology and social policy is given, drawing on the need for complementary life priorities and enhanced generational intelligence. Implications for work, generational rivalry and precarity are examined along with some conclusions on the role of eyeopening conceptual development.

In the article there has been made the analyzes of reflection ideological bases of foreign political and governmental positioning of Tajikistan in its’ doctrine documents. The main blocks of our analyzes was historical bases of Tajik statehood; the place and a role of Tajikistan in the world history, the place of the country in the modern world and features of understanding of the world trends of development; the place of water diplomacy in foreign political positioning of Tajikistan. It was found, that important part of official ideological concept of Tajikistan was the appeal in way of Aryan origin of Tajiks, the heritage of government of the Samanids and the losses of the “original” Tajik’s territories. It was state that during 1990s until 2010s, doctrine understanding of Tajikistan about their place in the evolutionary region in the spot of the mission of historical civilization of Tajik’s nation regarding to other population of the region. Important elements of the ideology of Tajikistan’s foreign policy positioning in the 1990s were the secular nature of the development of this Muslim state, elected during the 1992-1997 civil war, and the need for international assistance due to the country’s poverty and underdevelopment. In the doctrinal documents of the first half of the 2000s, the provision on poverty was combined with the thesis of the injustice of world development, which is dominated by the West, and the negative impact of globalization, which fuels the confrontation of civilizations. Since the mid-2000s, there has been a doctrinal rethinking of the role and place of Central Asia in the world - from a backward and troubled region to a clash of global interests and an economically important region of the world, dominance of great powers. By proclaiming a multi-vector open door policy in 2002, Tajikistan has doctrinally broadened its horizons of engagement with the world, going beyond the discourse of cooperation only with neighboring Muslim countries and Russia.

This article seeks to challenge conventional arguments about Israel’s ‘cultural militarism’ through a comparative analysis of Independence Day parades of the 1950s. Using media reports, newsreels, and archival documentation, it examines the parades and compares them to other cases from around the world. The discussion focuses on three features of the Israeli parades: the widespread civil criticism of the place of the military in Independence Day celebrations; the role of the crowds and their proximity to the marchers; and the partly militaristic character of the parades themselves. While the article does not deny the obvious militaristic connotations of soldiers marching in the streets, it stresses the unique relationship between the armed forces and society in Israel and argues that militarism alone is not a sufficient analytic framework for analyzing Israeli society.

Many complex problems require a multi-criteria decision, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that affected nearly all activities in the world. In this regard, this study aims to develop a multi-criteria decision support system considering the sustainability, feasibility, and success rate of possible approaches. Therefore, two models have been developed: Geo-AHP (applying geo-based data) and BN-Geo-AHP using probabilistic techniques (Bayesian network). The ranking method of Geo-APH is generalized, and the equations are provided in a way that adding new elements and variables would be possible by experts. Then, to improve the ranking, the application of the probabilistic technique of a Bayesian network and the role of machine learning for database and weight of each parameter are explained, and the model of BN-Geo-APH has been developed. In the next step, to show the application of the developed Geo-AHP and BN-Geo-AHP models, we selected the new pandemic of COVID-19 that affected nearly all activities, and we used both models for analysis. For this purpose, we first analyzed the available data about COVID-19 and previous studies about similar virus infections, and then we ranked the main approaches and alternatives in confronting the pandemic of COVID-19. The analysis of approaches with the selected alternatives shows the first ranked approach is massive vaccination and the second ranked is massive swabs or other tests. The third is the use of medical masks and gloves, and the last ranked is the lockdown, mostly due to its major negative impact on the economy and individuals.
