Twitter Based Digital Social Movement Pattern to Fight COVID-19

Twitter has become a tool for people to trigger a social change, like what is happening right now during COVID-19 outbreaks. Most people are using social media platforms to express their perspectives. For the first time, this research aimed to analyze the pattern of a social movement that happened during COVID-19 Outbreaks by analyzing the Twitter dataset contains 23,476 tweets worldwide with the #COVID19 hashtag which was obtained from 02 March to 09 April 2020. Social Network Analysis tools are used to understand the pattern of movement. This research concluded that if the Government and Mainstream Media Twitter account triggered the conversation in the social media platform, followed by the activists and celebrities who engage in conversation between their followers, an ordinary person spread the point of view of the Government and Mainstream Media across their conversation network. The COVID-19 hashtag successfully engaged 10 protest clusters, which pushed the people to fight against COVID-19 in their countries, mostly targeting the government-related account. The digital social movement pattern is relatively different from the traditional social movement, even it has the same steps, which emerge, coalesce, bureaucratise, and the movement itself, but it takes place in the Digital Public Sphere without any social or political boundaries. The digital social movement forced the government to implement a better policy to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, including to close the national border to prevent unnecessary effects of International Migration.

"CITY CONSTRUCTOR" (FORM-BASED CODES) AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF KHARKIV

The article discusses an approach to the development of the city, which is based on the so-called "city constructors" or "form-based codes". It represents the normatively fixed rules for shaping, architectural design, object filling of individual zones in the form of ready-made, pre-developed fragments of the urban environment. The evolution of the development of this approach from ancient cities to the 1960s-1980s is considered. It was revealed that the city designer helps to follow a clear urban development strategy, contributes to the creation of a high-quality urban environment with minimal means, and leads to a guaranteed practical result and capitalization of territories. Methods of introducing such an approach to the urban environment of Kharkiv in the framework of the implementation of an integrated urban strategy are proposed: “designer of urban spaces”, “designer of streets” and “designer of courtyards”. Two directions are proposed for the formation of a "designer of urban spaces". The first one: it is necessary to conduct a series of design seminars and workshops to determine the format of an urban designer, a list of code documents required for the development of subsections and formation of the composition of the working group, which will continue to develop the "city constructor". The second direction of work on the “constructor” should be a series of design seminars,competitions, with the obligatory active involvement of local residents in the process. These project seminars should be aimed at revitalizing individual courtyard areas of the city. For the fruitful implementation of such participatory projects, it is necessary to develop online applications that will facilitate the involvement of representatives of different social groups in the creative process. The article also suggests ways of introducing such an approach for the strategic development of the urban environment of Kharkov and reveals two main advantages of the “city constructor”. The first one: in the case of developing the city as a constructor, we get a step-by-step and strategic search for effective solutions to form a table of city elements (types of streets, squares, buildings and structures). The second advantage is that by developing a set of elements, rules and recommendations, we have an effective system that allows you to improve the city quickly, without the constant involvement of professionals. Even if such a system is used by an ordinary person, then a result of sufficient quality is always guaranteed.

A Devil under the Guise of a Good Conscience

Buried within Fyodor Dostoevsky's works are glimpses of corrupt individuals who rise to the fore every now and then. Without these occasional revelations, not many would notice how diabolical an ordinary person really is. Although Dostoevsky does generalize that human nature can be quite vile, a character like the mysterious visitor from The Brothers Karamazov displays that nature without striving to be extraordinary as Dostoevsky's other prolific characters. Something troubling still lurks within this mundane type. Relying on moral dilemmas presented by ancient thinkers will help this project expose and elaborate on the unsavouriness behind the activities and dispositions of Dostoevsky's minute character. With the mysterious visitor as the prime focus, we discover how an individual distorts one's personal development and decent relations with other humane beings.

Modern Micro-Controllers to Improve the Quality of Production Process

In general, the production processes are more and more complex. This is the result of more and more sophisticated materials used, the pressure to save them as well as other production resources (ecological perspective), also the tendency to buy mobile products lighter and less power consuming than before. In previous years using highly specialized technology was very costly for the company. Nowadays, this situation is possible to be changed because of emerging types of modern micro-controllers and variety of compatible sensors. Some of those micro-controllers are more power saving, some are more powerful in terms of computing power. The common denominator is that both purchasing them as well as programming is possible for ordinary person, a hobbyist building DIY projects. This sheds new light to the professional usage of modern micro-controllers-based solutions that can become possible to offer comparable level of precision at the fraction of cost. The authors recognized the strong potential in modern micro-controllers and made the research among professionals in the area of production companies. The outcome of research showed that the professionals share the opinion of the authors. Therefore, the outbreak of usage of such inexpensive solutions in professional applications is expected. However, the research showed, that there is possible to find single situations, where usage of modern micro-controllers may be limited, for example in the company targeted to produce hand-made products or handicraft (manufacture).

Heroes and the many: Typological reflections on the collective appeal of the heroic: revolutionary Iran and its implications

The heroic figure is a human fiction of the wholly singular. In the hero, discourses about ideals and exemplariness, extra-ordinariness and exceptionalness, agonality, transgressivity, or good and evil become condensed into a single individual. Thus, the hero is the opposite of the masses. As it is argued in this article, the answer to the question of what distinguishes a hero lies in the supererogatory moment, the reference to the hero’s quality of more than can be expected: the heroic figure does more than he or she has to, more than duty requires of an ordinary person, and this is the reason they are heroized. However, this also points to a dialectic moment of the heroic in which the opposition between the hero and the many seems to be suspended. Following Niklas Luhmann, the hero represents the paradox of conformity through deviance, because through the example of their abnormality they produce in others a desire to imitate them. In the end, there is a collective appeal of the heroic that affects even the conceptual complement of the hero: the crowd which is characterized by the disappearance of the individual within it. Inspired by Luhmann’s sociological reflections on the heroic as well as Elias Canetti’s anthropological perspectives on the phenomena of the crowd, this article traces the rhetoric of the hero along its path from the singular to the plural. Against the backdrop of the analysis of the heroic in revolutionary Iran, a generalizable typology is proposed that distinguishes between the hero, the collective of heroes, the heroic collective, and collective heroism. This order reflects a progression that is analogous to the conjunction of the one and the many, moving qualitatively from the distinct figure of the hero to the indistinguishable masses.

INDICATORS OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE POPULATION

The article is devoted to the problem of quality of life of the population. Particular attention is paid to the direction and pace of changes in the country and largely depends on the solution of this problem. This requires the state to develop a certain policy, the core of which will not be an impersonal substance and processes unknown to anyone, but an ordinary person, his physical health, well-being, and possible prospects.

The Mysticism of History and the Transcendent Vision of the Great Patriotic War

This article examines the evolution of “mystical discourse” in the literature on the Great Patriotic War from 1941 to 2008. It analyses the content of ideas about the participation of supernatural principles in people’s relations and in the fate of peoples in different historical conditions. The author reveals the gnoseological potential and socio-cultural mission of irrational knowledge that claims to be the universal truth. The “transcendent vision” formula integrates a variety of manifestations – from intuitions to metaphysical concepts. The analysis is done with reference to poetry by K. Simonov, A. Akhmatova, A. Tvardovsky, N. Glazkov, Yu. Kuznetsov, the poem Leningrad Apocalypse by D. Andreev, Mother’s Dreams by V. Shukshin, God and the Soldier by V. Pietsukh, Live and Remember by V. Rasputin, Psalm by F. Gorenstein, Cursed and Killed by V. Astafyev, and Tankman or ‘White Tiger’ by I. Boyashov. The author’s reflections on the transcendent is realised in three modes: discovery, mystical propensities, and philosophising. The discovery of the presence of the mystical principle as a real and beneficial force is characteristic of wartime lyrics. Vital intuition actualises the archetypal resource of national culture: ancestral memory, the voice of the Earth, nature, the patronage of ancestors, and the sacred power of the Russian word. Awareness of the special protective mission of love is based on the deep ethics of folk tradition and corresponds to the ideas of religious philosophy about the participation of the Wisdom of God in human relations. The effectiveness of both is confirmed by prophetic dreams and actions of the heroines in the works by V. Shukshin and V. Rasputin. Theodicy became the central problem in the post-war feeling of a disastrous social experience. A visionary poem by D. Andreev and ballads by Yu. Kuznetsov are versions of poetic gnosis: they interpret the war as an episode of the eternal conflict of darkness and light, the confrontation of demons with great power, in which an ordinary person is assigned the role of a victim and the poet – the mission of the “messenger”, the painter of these forces. The reasoner-toned concepts of F. Gorenstein and V. Astafyev regard war as a last judgment on peoples, the payment for the fall from God’s grace. I. Boyashov’s novel reveals the Manichaean idea of the dual role of evil: the power of darkness can only be crushed by hatred. Experiencing the ontological power of transcendent knowledge and its suggestions, the artist feels involved in the mystical origin.

Epithets in Story “Der große Wildenberg” by Siegfried Lenz

The article is devoted to the study of the epithets used by the modern German writer Siegfried Lenz to build a storyline and create images of his characters in the story “Der große Wildenberg”, which reveals social problems, disappointments, worries and fears of an ordinary person waiting for a meeting with a high-ranking person. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that the epithets that serve as a means of realizing the artistic space, determining the place in it and forming ideas about the main character — as stated in the title “the great Wildenberg” is analyzed and de-scribed with special attention in this work. It is shown how, throughout the story, with the help of characterizing words, the authority, greatness and power of Wildenberg are generated, maintained and at the end unexpectedly collapsed, which deceives the reader’s expectations. Relevance is associated with the identification of functional and structural features of the epithets available in the work. The following types of qualifying lexemes were found: pictorial and emotional epithets; epithets with direct meaning and tropical; evaluative and psychological epithets; simple and extended epithets; free and included in phraseological units epithets; common language epithets.

ABOUT SOME CHANGES IN MODERN MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

The article considers the main changes in modern medical terminology related to the occurrence, prevention and treatment of coronavirus infections, analyzes the main lexical and thematic groups of neologisms in terms of their origin and functioning. Among all the changes in modern medical terminology, two main processes attract attention in the first place: the emergence of a large number of new terms and a change in the distinction between active and passive vocabulary. Given the extralinguistic causes of both processes, it can be predicted that similar changes are taking place now in most languages of the world. In addition, even without special research, it is clear that the main number of neologisms borrowed from English has an international character and Latin-Greek etymology. Today we can begin to describe, systematize and classify some processes that occur in the lexical system as the most mobile tier of language, which actively responds to all extralinguistic factors in society. Without being able to focus on all the problems of modern medical terminology related to the pandemic, we will consider the situation with lexical- thematic groups "name of coronavirus infection" and "names of social restrictions associated with the pandemic" as the most striking sections of the general problem. After all, due to the pandemic, almost all languages of the world are undergoing serious lexical changes. Among the main processes are the emergence of a large number of new medical terms and the change in the distinction between active and passive vocabulary, when professional medical vocabulary becomes an active vocabulary of every ordinary person. Consider this assumption on the example of two thematic groups - "covid" and "social isolation". The material for the study was the publication of periodicals, orders and recommendations of various levels from the Ministry of Health to rectors and directors of educational institutions, banners of various types, news sites, etc.
