Суб’єкт-об’єктний картезіанський поділ як засадничий концептуальний принцип новоєвропейської ментальності (Subject-object cartesian distinction as fundamental conceptual principle of modern european mentality )

У статті проаналізовано суб’єкт-об’єктний картезіанський поділ з перспективи експлікації у соціокультурній реальності закладених у ньому епістемологічних принципів і суперечностей. Зроблено спробу проаналізувати характерну для новоєвропейського способу мислення інтенцію до панування і контролю над сущим, що виявилось у діяльнісно-пізнавальних і ціннісних установах щодо природи і суспільства, а також у виникненні різноманітних форм маніпуляції суспільною свідомістю (The article analyzes the Cartesian subject-object division from the perspective of explication in social and cultural reality epistemological principles and contradictions which was embodied in this division. We may see an attempt to analyze a mindset intention to dominate and to control an exists – which is characteristic feature of the modern European way of thinking. Such control is manifested in action-cognitive and values attitudes towards a nature and society, but also in the emergence of various forms of manipulation of the public opinion. In the early modern period philosophical and epistemological paradigmatic principles was changed. This changes is primarily linked with the trends of secularization, fighting against a medieval metaphysics, an attempts to create a new humanistic value system, which will be based on Reason rather than Divine Covenant. The analysis of such trends in historical perspective makes it possible to conclude : the mental models, which was newly established, led to large-scale aftereffects. In our opinion one of this aftereffects was the emergence of mass cultural forms, whose the most common and fundamental principle is request for the reduction, in another words – simplification of inherently profound phenomenon to a set thinking and behavior clichés. Assuming that one of the fundamental goals of mass cultural forms is a logging of superficial layer of social reality, it becomes clear why popular culture is a relevant form by which ideological systems can acquire a spreading. In the early modern times a person appeared as godlike individual, who may do action – and then this person transformed into an object of manipulation. Even society begins to be seen and analyzed as an object and from the perspective of control over it

Towards Optimal Distributed Node Scheduling in a Multihop Wireless Network through Local Voting

In a multihop wireless network, it is crucial but challenging to schedule transmissions in an efficient and fair manner. In this paper, a novel distributed node scheduling algorithm, called Local Voting, is proposed. This algorithm tries to semi-equalize the load (defined as the ratio of the queue length over the number of allocated slots) through slot reallocation based on local information exchange. The algorithm stems from the finding that the shortest delivery time or delay is obtained when the load is semi-equalized throughout the network. In addition, we prove that, with Local Voting, the network system converges asymptotically towards the optimal scheduling. Moreover, through extensive simulations, the performance of Local Voting is further investigated in comparison with several representative scheduling algorithms from the literature. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than the other distributed algorithms in terms of average delay, maximum delay, and fairness. Despite being distributed, the performance of Local Voting is also found to be very close to a centralized algorithm that is deemed to have the optimal performance

Does Participatory Budgeting Improve Decentralized Public Service Delivery?

This paper provides the first experimental evaluation of the participatory budgeting model showing that it increased public participation in the process of public decision making, increased local tax revenues collection, channeled larger fractions of public budgets to services stated as top priorities by citizens, and increased satisfaction levels with public services. These effects, however, were found only when the model was implemented in already-mature administratively and politically decentralized local governments. The findings highlight the importance of initial conditions with respect to the decentralization context for the success of participatory governance

Cross-lingual Information Retrieval State-of-the-Art

Information retrieval involves finding some required information in a collection of information or in databases. The information or database need not necessarily be in one language. In other words, language should not limit the finding of information. The way to search for the information is by looking at every item in the collection and when the need to translate the language arises, the techniques and methods developed for the cross-lingual retrieval system is used. This paper reviews some recent researches focusing on topics in cross-lingual information retrieval and their role in current research directions which include new models and paradigms in the wide area of information retrieval

Financial Literacy of College Students: Determinants and Implications

Penelitian ini melakukan survei terhadap 150 orang mahasiswa untuk menilai literasi keuangan mereka; keterkaitan antara tingkat literasi dengan karakteristik mahasiswa; dan dampak literasi terhadap perilaku keuangannya. Hasil survei menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa menjawab pertanyaan dengan benar rata-rata sebesar 49.32%. Pria, mahasiswa tingkat awal, tidak tinggal bersama orang tua, dan memiliki IPK kurang dari 2,50 memiliki tingkat literasi keuangan yang paling rendah. Mahasiswa dengan pengetahuan keuangan yang kurang memadai cenderung menunjukkan perilaku keuangan yang tidak tepat, terutama dalam mempersiapkan dana darurat. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan mahasiswa akan pengelolaan keuangan pribadi tidak memadai. Rendahnya tingkat literasi keuangan akan membatasi kemampuan mereka dalam membuat keputusan keuangan. Kata
