Семантика регулятива мати в посланнях Андрея Шептицького

The article highlights the issue of the lexical regulative maty semantics in the epistles of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky. Since the case study material is the religious style texts, the lexeme under consideration, in addition to its basic meaning of „woman, in relation to the child she gave birth to”, expands its semantics with the meaning of „church, in relation to its believers” with its concretization through the adjective lexemes native, genuine. The frequency actualization of the regulative maty (mother) has been revealed in the names of the religious discourse Mother of God, God’s Mother, Mother of Christ, Holy Mother, Blessed Mother, used to denote the motherhood of the Virgin Mary in relation to Jesus Christ, and in the nomens the Mother of us all, the Mother of Heaven, used for the explication of her motherhood significance to all the faithful on the Earth. The secular meaning of the lexical regulative mother is determined by the style of woman’s behavior as a Christian and indicated, primarily, by the attributes of pious, Christian, native mother (a family status in relation to children). The Metropolitan’s idiostyle illustrates the use of the studied regulative in a clear family hierarchy, for example father and mother; father, mother, brother, sister, wife, husband; mother and a child, including a generalized collective image of all women, whose primary mission is the birth and upbringing of children.

Exploring micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities for social enterprises

Purpose Social enterprises (SEs) operate with a primary goal of meeting a social purpose while creating economic wealth for the fulfillment of their primary mission. These organizations need to develop a certain set of capabilities that facilitates the successful pursuit of their dual mission goals. This paper aims at exploring the micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities (DCs) that enable SEs to recognize and exploit opportunities and reconfigure their resources to pursue their dual-mission goals and adjust with the environmental dynamics. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a multiple case design and an abductive research approach to conduct an in-depth and in-due course investigation of the development of DCs in two distinct SEs selected on the basis of theoretical-purposive sampling and availability of the richness of the information about them. Findings This study finds certain generic and exclusive micro-foundations of DCs that contribute to sensing opportunities, seizing opportunities and reconfiguring resources in SEs. The exclusive micro-foundations of DCs of SEs noted in this study are sustainability of beneficiaries, involving beneficiaries in decision-making, defining unique business models and selective suppliers for critical resources. Research limitations/implications The limitation of this study lies in its dependence on retrospective data, which may perhaps influence the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the acquired data. This study, although, implemented the measures to minimize the bias, by supplementing the interview data with archival sources. Practical implications To the researchers, this study proffers an in-depth and in-due course explanation of the micro-foundations of DCs that facilitate SEs to sense opportunities, seize opportunities and reconfigure their resources with time. To practitioners working in the area of social entrepreneurship, this process study is an outline of reference that answers the how and why concerning the importance of micro-foundations of DCs for SEs. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no prior study has explored the micro-foundations of DCs in the context of SEs from emerging economies. The exclusive micro-foundations of DCs for SEs found in this study are the unique and original contribution that outlines the path for future academic inquiry in this evolving research area.

Staircase Detection, Characterization and Approach Pipeline for Search and Rescue Robots

Currently, most rescue robots are mainly teleoperated and integrate some level of autonomy to reduce the operator’s workload, allowing them to focus on the primary mission tasks. One of the main causes of mission failure are human errors and increasing the robot’s autonomy can increase the probability of success. For this reason, in this work, a stair detection and characterization pipeline is presented. The pipeline is tested on a differential drive robot using the ROS middleware, YOLOv4-tiny and a region growing based clustering algorithm. The pipeline’s staircase detector was implemented using the Neural Compute Engines (NCEs) of the OpenCV AI Kit with Depth (OAK-D) RGB-D camera, which allowed the implementation using the robot’s computer without a GPU and, thus, could be implemented in similar robots to increase autonomy. Furthermore, by using this pipeline we were able to implement a Fuzzy controller that allows the robot to align itself, autonomously, with the staircase. Our work can be used in different robots running the ROS middleware and can increase autonomy, allowing the operator to focus on the primary mission tasks. Furthermore, due to the design of the pipeline, it can be used with different types of RGB-D cameras, including those that generate noisy point clouds from low disparity depth images.

MSV(L): Continuing the Legacy of Army Waterborne Capability

The United States Army operates several classes of landing craft, which provide combatant commanders with waterborne maneuver capabilities essential for accomplishing a range of critical missions unique to the Army. These missions involve transport of personnel, cargo, and equipment from advanced bases and large sealift ships to ports, inland riverine regions, as well as remote undeveloped coastlines and beaches. Recognizing the significant roles these vessels play and will continue to play in achieving Army objectives, Army leadership allocated funding to design and build a new class of high performance landing craft: Maneuver Support Vessel (Light) (MSV(L)). The primary mission of MSV(L) is to conduct movement and maneuver of combat-configured Brigade Combat Team force elements such as one M1A2 main battle tank, or two Stryker vehicles, or four Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, each with its crew. MSV(L) will have beaching capability and be able to operate at speeds significantly in excess of any current Army landing craft. The Army Watercraft Systems organization was tasked with overseeing development of requirements and specifications, source selection and acquisition, along with contract, finance, and engineering management of the MSV(L) Program. A contract to develop the detailed design and build a series of vessels was awarded in September 2017. Launch of the initial vessel is planned during the fourth quarter of 2021.

ISLĀTTIL PEṆKAḶIṈ PORUḶĀTĀRA URIMAIKAḶ: ORU ILAKKIYA MĪḶĀYVU [ECONOMIC RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN ISLAM: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE]

The discourse on economic rights of the woman is one of issues spoken today. Islam as code of the life expands in its all aspects, addresses genuine concern about economic rights of the woman. This paper aimed at examining the Islamic perspective on the women economic rights based on review of prevailing literatures and textual sources of Islam. Building a natural and balanced human society is primary mission of Islam through its divine guidance. Islam recognizes the natural abilities of both male and female and assigns their roles in a society. In Islamic social system both genders have their own and unique roles in human development in the meantime both have their rights. The Islamic perspective on economic rights of the woman is derived its basics from the interpretation of the Islamic textual sources primarily al-Qur’an and historical experience of model Islamic society in early Islamic period. The concepts of inheritance, mahr etc. in practice ensure the distribution of wealth to female proportion of the Muslim community and enable them to maintain and involve in the growth.

From Readership to Usership: Communicating Heritage Digitally Through Presence, Embodiment and Aesthetic Experience

The primary mission of cultural institutions, including heritage sites and museums, is to perform and perpetuate Cultural Heritage (CH) by ideally transforming audiences into stewards of that heritage. In recent years, these institutions have increasingly turned to Mixed Reality (MR) technologies to expand and democratize public access to Cultural Heritage—a trend that is called upon to accelerate with COVID-19—because these technologies provide opportunities for more remote outreach, and moreover, can make partial remains or ruins more relatable to the public. But as emerging evaluations indicate, existing MR intangible and tangible Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) applications are largely proving inadequate to engaging audiences beyond an initial fascination with the immersive 3D visualization of heritage sites and artefacts owing in part to misguided storytelling or non-compelling narratives. They fail to effectively communicate the significance of Cultural Heritage to audiences and impress upon them its value in a lasting way due to their overreliance on an education-entertainment-touristic consumption paradigm. Building on the recent case made for Literature-based MR Presence, this article examines how the literary tradition of travel narratives can be recruited to enhance presence and embodiment, and further elicit aesthetic experiences in Digital Cultural Heritage applications by drawing on recent findings from the fields of Extended Reality (XR), cognitive literary science and new museology. The projected effects of this innovative approach are not limited to an increase in audience engagement on account of a greater sense of presence and embodiment. This approach is also expected to prompt a different kind of public involvement characterized by a personal valuation of the heritage owing to aesthetic experience. As the paper ultimately discusses, this response is more compatible both with MR applications’ default mode of usership, and with newly emerging conceptions of a user-centered museum (e.g., the Museum 3.0), thereby providing a narrative roadmap for future Virtual Museum (VM) applications better suited to the primary mission of transmitting and perpetuating Cultural Heritage.
