The cognitive model of ‘NARCISSISM’ as represented in Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray
This article aims to describe the linguistic features of explicating the cognitive model of ‘NARCISSISM’ in Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Methodologically, the study draws on cognitive salience theory, dealing with elements such as trajectory and landmark when analysing the verbalisation of the model in question....
Models of endowing artificial intelligence with legal personality
... related to the legal personality of artificial intelligence. The concept of artificial intelligence and its legally significant features, the ratio of artificial intelligence and robot are investigated. The purpose of the study is to analyze the main models of granting legal personality to artificial intelligence. The following research methods are used: comparative, analytical and historical. Results: The first model denies the possibility of granting artificial intelligence legal personality, within ...
Commodity flow model for an exclave region: Rent-seeking in the ‘transitional period’ of the special economic zone
This article focuses on a commodity flow model for an exclave region (CFMER). The CFMER development is aimed at identifying aggregate proportions of the exclave’s economy in the transitional period of the special economic zone (SEZ) functioning. The key method of analysis is the comparison ...
Theoretical aspects of the model for the formation of legal competence of a specialist in the senior crews officers in a maritime university
Theoretical justification for the model of legal competence formation for senior crew officers is based on a competency-based approach, particularly relevant in the context of legal training for naval cadets. The proposed component structure of the model for legal competence formation ...
Levels of context: how textual analysis becomes discourse analysis: the case of Internet lifestyle media
... variables, (2) matching these to specific linguistic categories, and (3) operationalizing the former vis-à-vis the latter. Having posited this, the purpose of the article is twofold. In a more theoretical sense, the purpose is to outline one possible model of context each 'tier' of which is potentially related to certain linguistic categories and linguistic analytical toolkits. The suggested model has five tiers of contextual variables and two dimensions cutting through the five tiers. These dimensions ...
International experience in the application of three-dimensional modeling for the preservation of cultural heritage
Modern digital technologies play a key role in the preservation of cultural heritage, providing new opportunities for its study and documentation. One of the most promising methods is three-dimensional modeling, which makes it possible to create accurate digital copies of historical objects. The purpose of this study is to analyze international practices of implementing 3D modeling in the field of preservation of architectural and archaeological ...
Events as a semantic framework for the construction of reality: the prospects of a transition to a dynamic ontology
... events. In this context, we justify a transition to a constructive-dynamic ontological paradigm. We identify the functions of an event that consists in the creation, management, and destruction or reality. We demonstrate the need for a constructive model of a special event—a model taking into account the temporal factor in the development of reality. The second problem concerns the development of theoretical (mathematical) tools to describe such dynamics. In this connection, we identify the mathematical ...
Knowing humanity without knowing the human being: The structure of polemic in Kant’s political argumentation
... grim opinion of human nature, tries to dissuade politicians and instil moderate optimism in them. The article collates and systemises politicians’ and lawyers’ ideas of humans, the world, and politics. According to Kant’s philosophy of law, the model of an ideal society can be pictured as a mechanism. However, his philosophy of history and politics claims the opposite, inclining towards organicism. The methodological framework for argumentation analysis is V. Bryushinkin’s ‘cognitive approach’....

Virtual reconstruction of the Market street of 18th-century Königsberg’s Old town: sources, technologies, building history and models
... landscape of Königsberg, the birthplace of the ‘Prussian sage’. This article aims to recreate the architectural appearance of Altstädtischer Markt — the market street in the Old Town (Altstadt), one of the city’s districts. Three-dimensional models of the 18th-century public and residential buildings were constructed using surviving images of the market street-square alongside photographs, literature and research works, local history evidence, individual housing plans, design details and ...
