To ‘embrace’ focused parts of an addressed environment is the way enclosure of outside foci may be described. Here, the opening of the transfer institution called logical lock (LL) in the previous series of articles points, toward the outside of the individual, selects finite parts of it and either rejects them or utilizes them to achieve the corresponding embodiment. The different layers of the intermediating zone that have in total been described as an individual’s orientation matrix (OM) are described. They consist of mostly invisible, but emotionally perceptible and later intellectually discernible layers, such as the one formed by the personal history, present mood and present feelings, anticipations and expectations. To address a person not as an assembly of discernible organs, but as a person, is hence more demanding than addressing the person only as performing a role, a function. In establishing a logical basis for person-centered healthcare approaches, we introduce further logical and descriptive tools to take the invisible layers into account. This clearly hermeneutical approach is opposed to a method that would hypostasise what in this article are termed ‘naked objects’, abbreviated as NOs. We argue that such NOs exist only as mathematical extrapolations. As abstract extrapolations and, as far as individuality is concerned, they cannot be applied in a meaningful way.

For the students, while the numbers are up,… the problem that minorities face – and it is persistent – is that there is still too much of a patronizing air in the professional schools. And there's still too much of the notion that if you're here it must be because someone gave you a break and you're different and you really don't belong here. And indeed when my son went off to school four years ago… I really wanted to warn him about the atmosphere that you see on all too many campuses, diat if you're black and walking on campus, that all too many people look at you and say, “You must be an affirmative action product,” whatever that means to them. “You're here only at our good grace.” And no one's looking at the individual. Thinking about it in retrospect, I guess, in some ways I enjoyed an advantage in being [the only black in my law school class]. It was a terrible disadvantage in a lot of ways, but, because I was the only black, the one thing I never faced was anyone ever challenging my intellectual capability. The way they brought this off was to say, “Well, you're different. You're black but you're not really black.” I think it's a lot worse now…. Professional schools are hard enough as it is, and to constantly have the pressure of what others are thinking about you and wondering whether you really belong, that really is a difficult burden.

A recurrent idea in Indian philosophical, theological, and mythological systems is that of a universe manifested through a sequence of emanations. Diverse traditions of doctrine and practice share this vision of the progression from the one to the many. Temple designs often embody the same pattern. Within the diverse traditions of Indian temple architecture, an emanatory scheme is observable both in the formal structure of individual temple designs, which express a dynamic sequence of emergence and growth, and in the way in which temple forms develop throughout the course of such traditions. The canonical Sanskrit texts on architecture (Vastu Shastras) share this emanatory way of thinking, presenting varied temple typologies in which designs develop from simple to complex, emerging sequentially one from another. These texts provide a framework for design that demands interpretation and improvisation, while leading to results that are only partly determined by the individual architect. This contributes to a sense, powerfully established by the unfolding potential of the tradition of architectural practice, that a new temple design is svayambhu (self-manifesting) appearing through a cosmic process from a supra-human source.


The article deals with the question of the authorship and its nature in connection with the case of Herostratus. The main problem is forgotten creators of the temple of Artemis and the immortal fame of its arsonist. In this vein, the concept of destructive authorship is proposed as a form of displaying authorship based not on the usual act of creation, but on the opposite to it – an act of destruction. At the same time, a distinction has been made between “destructive authorship” as the realization of certain attributes of authorship using destruction as an instrument and its possible coup – “authorship of destructiveness” as a phenomenon based on autonomy and the priority of destruction in relation to authorship. Also, the concepts of “anti-author” and “anti-gift” are being developed, offered as oppositions to the classical notions of “author” and “gift”. Herostratus is represented as the central and featuring figure of certain cultural and historical narrative, which reaches the reverse side of “caring for oneself” through the act of destruction on the way to immortality. In this case, we are talking about the anti-author as an individualization through authorship without creation and focusing the individual on himself. For the story of Herostratus homeric question is impossible because the very nature of its situation is hypertrophy of the individual author’s being, which is incompatible with co-authorship. While not being created, it exists only as a desire to get author’s dividends, and therefore, as a desire to remain the only one. No less important is the question of the gift in the context of authorship, which is turned by Herostratus into a theft. If any authorship is inextricably connected with the gift, the destructive authorship contains an anti-gift – cultural theft (forcible appropriation) of the object or subject of the subject to destruction. It is the anti-gift allows the anti-author to realize himself not only as the one who commits the destructive act, but also the one who steals attention and memory, separating them from the previous carrier and acquiring it to himself. Thus, in the article on example of Herostratus is analyzed the development of the ideas logically parallel or contradictive to the established model of authorship based on the creative act with the proposal of the concepts which are able to expand the understanding of authorship and explore it in the context of destructive aspects.

The article discusses the phenomenon of the artistic dynasties in Ukraine, and in particular the one of the Krushelnytskys (the Stavnykovyches). The concept of “dynasty” is treated as a spiritual connection of many generations of one family and the individual subconscious, forming the generic (collective) subconscious and superconscious. It is gradually accumulated and established in each succeeding generation The metahistorical approach, which lies in the basis of the research methodology, actualises the role of “primary collectives” and communities (family, confessional associations, nation etc), which are crosscutting structures in the development of history. It is not only the horizontal of relations within one or two generations, but also the horizontal of spiritual experience acquired and preserved by a family for many generations. The subject of Ukrainian musical and pedagogical history as a metahistory is the phenomenon of dynasties — creative, scientific, pedagogical, from the plexus of which the spiritual culture of Ukraine was once created and continues its development nowadays. The type of artistic activity of the older generation of the dynasty largely determines the choice of life path, profession, “life trajectory” made by the representatives of subsequent generations. The descendant of one or another dynasty gets a chance to realize a certain social role, to gain a predetermined profession due to devotion to family traditions, a unique environment that is transformed into the inner world of each family member. The creative dynasties of the Lysenkos, Krushelnytskys, Kolesses, Drahomanov-Kosaches, Starytskys, Barvinskys, Nyzhankivskys, Rudnytskys, Shukhevychys and others can serve as examples. A striking example of hereditary creative “relationships” within many generations is the Krushelnytsky dynasty, which originated in the depths of the artistic spirit of the Ukrainian people. The key figure of the musical dynasty was Solomiya Krushelnytska — a world-famous Ukrainian singer, a talented dramatic actress, a teacher who had a brilliant career, promoted Ukrainian folk and professional art. The vocal and artistic traditions of the family were continued by Hanna Krushelnytska (Solomiya’s younger sister), Odarka Bandrivska (niece of the famous singer) — a pianist, chamber singer, teacher, and Iryna Malanyuk (niece of S. Krushelnytska) — a soloist of opera houses of Vienna, Graz, Zurichand Munich. All performers reached artistic perfection and European recognition. The creative dynasty of the Krushelnytskys family created the highest spiritual values of the Ukrainian people, became a symbol of patriotism, civic self-consciousness, continuity of national artistic traditions. The way of life of the Krushelnytsky family is the way of accumulating the experience of history, which became a reflection of the historical destiny of the people, the creation of life, which became the result of the experience of dozens of past generations. The richer the historical and cultural experience of the people is, “the greater the chances for its selfpreservation” are.

Summary. When participants have to shift between four tasks that result from a factorial combination of the task dimensions judgment (numerical vs. spatial) and mapping (compatible vs. incompatible), a characteristic profile of shift costs can be observed that is suggestive of a hierarchical switching mechanism that operates upon a dimensionally ordered task representation, with judgment on the top and the response on the bottom of the task hierarchy ( Kleinsorge & Heuer, 1999 ). This switching mechanism results in unintentional shifts on lower levels of the task hierarchy whenever a shift on a higher level has to be performed, leading to non-shift costs on the lower levels. We investigated whether this profile depends on the way in which the individual task dimensions are cued. When the cues for the task dimensions were exchanged, the basic pattern of shift costs was replicated with only minor modifications. This indicates that the postulated hierarchical switching mechanism operates independently of the specifics of task cueing.

‘The art of free society’, A.N. Whitehead declares in his essay on symbolism, is fundamentally dual. It consists of both ‘maintenance of the symbolic code’ and a ‘fearlessness of [its] revision’. This tension, on the surface paradoxical, is what Whitehead believes will prevent social decay, anarchy, or ‘the slow atrophy of a life stifled by useless shadows’. Bearing in mind Whitehead’s own thoughts on the nature of symbolism, this chapter argues that the figure of the creature has been underappreciated in his work as a symbol. It endeavors to examine and contextualize the symbolic potency of creatureliness in Whitehead’s work, with particular attention directed toward the way the creature helps him to both maintain and revise an older symbolic code. In Process and Reality, ‘creature’ serves as Whitehead’s alternate name for the ‘individual fact’ or the ‘actual entity’—including (perhaps scandalously, for his more orthodox readers) the figure of God. What was Whitehead’s strategic motivation for deploying this superfluous title for an already-named category? In this chapter, it is suggested that his motivation was primarily poetic (Whitehead held the British romantic tradition in some reverence) and so, in this sense, always and already aware of its rich symbolic potency.

The attention sustainability and its impact of social status in the class are current issues concerning the field of education are the reasons for delay in assimilating the learning material and early school dropout. Behind both of those problems stand psychological causes such as low attention sustainability, poor communication skills and lack of positive environment. The presented article aims to prove that sustainability of attention directly influences the social status of students in the class, and hence their overall development and the way they feel in the group. Making efforts to increase students’ attention sustainability could lead to an increase in the social status of the student and hence the creation of a favorable and positive environment for the overall development of the individual.

Abstract Initially produced in 1968 as a three-part TV miniseries, and restored and re-edited in 2008 as a feature-length film, Dark Windows (Pimedad aknad, Tõnis Kask, Estonia) explores interpersonal relations and everyday life in September 1944, during the last days of Estonia’s occupation by Nazi Germany. The story focuses on two young women and the struggles they face in making moral choices and falling in love with righteous men. The one who slips up and falls in love with a Nazi is condemned and made to feel responsible for the national decay. This article explores how the category of gender becomes a marker in the way the film reconstructs and reconstitutes the images of ‘us’ and ‘them’. The article also discusses the re-appropriation process and analyses how re-editing relates to remembering of not only the filmmaking process and the wartime occupation, but also the Estonian women and how the ones who ‘slipped up’ are later reintegrated into the national narrative. Ultimately, the article seeks to understand how this film from the Soviet era is remembered as it becomes a part of Estonian national filmography.
