Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores whether and how labour law matters in factory workers’ grievances and demands in their letters sent to the unions and state authorities in Đồng Nai Province, an industrial hub in the south of Vietnam. An examination of the letters demonstrates that the legalistic language of rights and other provisions in the Labour Code plays little role in shaping workers’ accounts. A majority of letter writers instead referred to moral aspects of subsistence, reciprocity, and their subjective views of fairness to make their claims. Yet the moral constructions of workers’ claims may overlap and derive from values imbricated within the Labour Code. These observations raise the need to consider the subtle way in which law generates workers’ resistance against management and/or the state, as well as the fluid boundary between law and morality in workers’ narratives of (in)justice.

Abstract:
Abstract Letters to the editor in the moral weeklies represent a special form of epistolary practice in the early 18th century, which is examined in this article on the basis of Johann Christoph Gottsched’s Die Vernünfftigen Tadlerinnen. Within the didactic concept of the journal, a fictitious correspondence between the fictitious editors and their supposed readers takes place, contributing to the dialogicity of the piece and suggesting that the magazine is widely perceived. Furthermore, letter-writing is addressed with the aim of improving the written German language and is repeatedly linked to the question of female education. Overall, an affinity between letter-writing guides and the moral weekly is elaborated, which suggests a use of the letter in the course of a popularization of knowledge.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTEtty Hillesum, a Dutch Jew who died at Auschwitz at the age of twenty-nine, left behind a diary and letters written during the last two years of her life. In An Interrupted Life and Letters from Westerbork, Hillesum tells a deeply moving story of religious experience, evil and suffering, spiritual growth, and interior and exterior moral transformation. While current scholarship on Hillesum focuses almost entirely on her personal life and religious journey, this essay examines the moral vision that emerges in her writings. Hillesum's diaries and letters present an engaging vision of the moral life—one that points with clarity to the importance of love of God and love of neighbor. This essay proposes that a love ethic is at the center of Hillesum's worldview and examines major influences on her religious and moral thought.

Abstract:
The article is a commentary to philosophical terms of David Hume’s “Of Essay Writing”, that became necessary in working on its Ukrainian translation. “Of Essay Writing” is an essay on conversation that was published in English in 1742 in the first edition of “Essays, Moral and Political” by D. Hume. The commentary focuses on two concepts that are important for understanding the content and cultural and historical context of an essay. First, the concept of “Republic of Letters” is considered. This Renaissance metaphor was in active use in the XV-XVIII centuries and described the conversational community of European intellectuals, formed by correspondent networks. In the age of Enlightenment, an alternative to correspondence was conversation in the newly formed public sphere of communication, concentrated in salons, clubs and other common social spaces. In his essay, D. Hume contrasts the concept of "Republic of Letters" with the concept of “Empire of Conversation”, emphasizing the difference between the worlds of “learned” and “conversible”, where “learned” use correspondence and “conversible” participate in public conversation. Secondly, this commentary examines the concept of "Belles Lettres" - a term of Renaissance origin, the part of humanists educational project “bonnae litterae”, which revealed the role of “studia humanitatis” (humanities) in shaping the aesthetics of writing (including letter writing). David Hume associate "Belles Lettres" with the concept of “taste”, which is a central category of his empiricist aesthetics. According to Hume, the taste comes from specific experience, the components of which are the humanities. At the same time, “Belles Lettres” requires the experience of conversation, and essay-writing is a means, which D. Hume proposes to use to spread the achievements of the “Republic of Letters” in the community of the “Empire of Conversation”.

Abstract:
"In the “Letters from a Post-Corona Future” study, we asked participants to imagine a desirable world after the Corona crisis and their own place within it. In resulting narratives, any imagined that the future will not look like the past, but did they also imagine that their own moral orientation would change, that is, their stance towards what is a good human life, the norms and values deserving respect, and their moral behavior? To explore what we call “anticipated moral change”, we focused on Generation X participants (born between 1965 and 1980) since they may be sufficiently mature to have a settled moral orientation and feel concerned by the future, yet sufficiently adaptable to envision internal change. A total of 64 letters from 11 countries were examined. We used concepts from narrative ethics and futures studies to investigate whether anticipated moral change was present in the letters, and if so, in what direction. We identified six categories of anticipated moral change, from radical moral innovation to daily behavior change. We analyzed how these changes were depicted (e.g., metaphors, modals, idiomatic expressions, narrated futures), felt, justified or evaluated. Results consider the forward-looking moral self-perception of participants in terms of daily behavior, emotions, thoughts, self-advice, norms, values, ideals, images, and dreams, thus contribudting to a better understanding of prospective moral change in times of health crisis. We further conceptualized two important categories of change: the inclusion of personal change into collective moral change and renewed moral awareness. "

Abstract:
Education of moral is education that is very important to instill moraland spiritual values in life that can foster character, behavior, and good moralsfor future.

Abstract:
Abstract This article examines and compares three grids that were designed to serve explicit moral accounting goals: the calculation and improvement of character. The examples are tables which fall under a broad definition of diagrams. The examples follow another in time, but it is not the article’s intention to suggest a historical lineage between them. Rather, it is the intention to clarify the interplay between grids and the precepts or keys to their use. The first case is the so-called ledger of merit and demerit that was propagated by Yuan Huang, a scholar and bureaucrat of the late Ming-period, who recommended its use for moral improvement in four letters to his son, of which the most famous letter was on the improvement of one’s own fate. The second is Benjamin Franklin’s Art of Virtue, which Franklin in his autobiographical letter to his son equally described as a tool of moral improvement. The third is the so-called moral thermometer, or biometer, a tool developed by the French revolutionary and pedagogical innovator Marc-Antoine Jullien, who described this tool as a moral mirror and compass that would be especially of use in preparing and educating adolescents for their adult lives. All three represent generic methods of producing knowledge about an individual’s (moral) character, knowledge on which the users of these tables could act. Their differences have to do with the perceived relation of moral conduct to other spheres of life, religious, social, and economic, or all of these combined, but also with the different precepts to their use.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to reveal the usability of moral letters, which are intellectual and literary products, as a resource in values education. The research was aimed considering the fact that different materials add excitement to the teaching environment, increase students’ interest and motivation in the course, and increase academic success. The research was carried out in a qualitative design and the document analysis method was used. The data source of the research consist of the letters with philosophical content written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca to Lucilius, the Governor of Sicily at the time. Value Review Form, henceforth “VRF” prepared by the researcher was used to collect data from the aforementioned data source. The collected data were analyzed by using the Maxqda 18 qualitative data analysis program, and the content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis process, meaningful word groups and sentence/sentences were coded around the themes. As a result of the research, it was concluded that, moral letters can be used in the teaching of more than sixty different values that make life meaningful, keep societies and human generation alive, and organize and facilitate human relations. These values which are mentioned as the root values in the Turkish national education program and which all nations aim to see in their individuals include; “Justice”, “friendship”, “honesty”, “self-control”, “patience”, “love”, “respect”, “responsibility”, “patriotism”, “helpfulness”, are frequently used. Therefore these values are a wealthy resource that can be used in values education. In the suggestions section, suggestions were also made regarding the use of moral letters for values education inside and outside the school and including the value-content parts of these letters in the textbooks in the form of partial quotations following the purposes of the curriculum.

Abstract:
Stem cell research offers hope to many people suffering from incurable diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, heart disease and spinal back injuries. However this poses a moral dilemma because embryos are destroyed during embryonic stem cell research. To determine whether embryonic stem cell research is morally justifiable, two views in respect of a human being were considered: i. a human has a dualistic nature in which his body and soul are two separate entities or ii. his body and soul forms a unity which can not be separated. If a human has a dualistic nature, it means that the embryo is not a human, it does not have a soul because the soul is added later to form a human. The implication of this is that it will be morally justifiable to kill an embryo during embryonic stem cell research. However if body and soul forms a unity which can not be separated, the embryo is a human which is already developing into a full grown human with several stages of development. It will thus not be morally justifiable to kill an embryo as this will violate the sixth commandment, i.e. “Thou shalt not kill.” To determine whether a human’s body and soul is an inseparable unity or whether they are two separate entities, the Pauline letters' view on the human being was investigated. The research method employed was to do a comparative literary study to highlight the different aspects of stem cell research and then exegesis was done in respect of body (σoμα / sōma); soul (ψυχὴ / psychē) and spirit (πνεῦμα / pneuma) in the Pauline letters according to the grammatical-historical method. An electronic Bible Concordance was used to determine the texts in which the above concepts appear. A semantic word analysis was also done to analyse these concepts. Then authoritative commentaries were used to check the findings. The analysis indicated that Paul refers to a human as unity in which body and soul can not be separated. The implication of this finding is that embryonic stem cell research should be dismissed because it will result in the destruction of embryos. Humans will thus be killed in violation of the sixth commandment. On the other hand adult stem cell research should be encouraged because it has the potential to cure diseases which has up to now been incurable.

Abstract:
Chapter 10 begins by introducing the life and work of Seneca. It explains his activity in the context of the historical situation in the Early Roman Empire and specifically in connection with his relations to various emperors including Nero. The reader is also introduced to the philosophical school of Stoicism, some of the key dogmas of which are highlighted in an analysis of Seneca’s letters. What is important here is that Seneca inverts many of the traditional Roman values by turning the focus away from the outward sphere of power, wealth, and fame. He argues that we should be indifferent to such external things and not allow ourselves to be fixated on them. By contrast, he encourages his correspondent to withdraw within himself. Seneca thus develops a new sphere of inwardness and subjectivity that is important for the later course of Western civilization, where many of these same ideas appear in Christian thinking. Seneca is also the pioneer of modern ideas such as equality among human beings.

Badius saw all of his familiar commentary texts as providing moral instruction in some sense. The chapter examines in particular Badius’s prefaces, prologues and commentaries on Roman satire (Horace, Juvenal and Persius) and Roman comedy (Terence); and his two adaptations of the Ship of Fools.

Full text
Abstract:
Grouchy’s eight Letters on Sympathy, written in the early 1790s and published in 1798, alongside her translation of Smith’s The Theory of Moral Sentiments, develop an account of sympathy rooted in physiology, but they have far reaching moral, social, and political consequences. While Grouchy is enthusiastic about Smith’s own account of sympathy, she voices a number of disagreements with his account. Letter V gives a more detailed account of the sort of moral theory that can be derived, from sympathy, one that has elements of consequentialism and virtue ethics. While the first five letters are concerned with the development of morality from the physiological origins of sympathy, the last three are an attempt to apply the theory to social, legal, and political reform within a republican framework. Sympathy, if it is well developed, Grouchy argues, ought to be sufficient to remove extreme inequalities and to prevent crime without having recourse to harsh laws.

Abstract:
In this paper I examine an open letter known as the “Letter of 66”. According to the dominant interpretation of the letter, its publication in 1988 triggered the movement for national liberation of Romanians from Eastern Moldavia, which was then part of USSR, and that culminated with the declaration of independence and founding of Republic of Moldova. I argue that in addition to triggering the national liberation movement, the “Letter” represents the birth certificate of Moldovan democracy and offers a model of governance based on scientific expertise and moral and civic values. In support of this thesis, I show that the demands made in the “Letter” rejected the official Soviet view on the Romanian identity of the language spoken by Moldovan from USSR. In this way, the demands are affirmations of fundamental human liberties, which represents a first democratic exercise.

Abstract:
The national legal system is determined by traditional elements characterizing the culture and customs that exist in the social environment in the form of moral standards and the law. However, the attitude of the population to the letter of the law, as a rule, initially contains negative properties in order to preserve personal freedom, status, position. Therefore, to solve pressing problems of rooting in the minds of society of the elementary foundations of the initial order, and then the rule of law in the public sphere, proverbs and sayings were developed that in essence contained legal educational criteria.

Abstract:
The 5S system consists of 5 series of activities designed to improve workplace organization and standardization. These five activities begin with the letter S: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain. The key targets of 5S are to improve workplace morale, safety and efficiency and to reduce cost. In this study, industrial application of measurable 5S in a steel service center is explained. 5S performance index has been defined as a numerical basis for the measurement of 5S success. Numerical results provide objective evaluation. So, by analyzing the result of 5S performance index, improvement areas on 5S can be easily determined. This study indicates that by well-organized 5S program, 5S performance index steadily increases from the start time of 5S activities to 10 weeks after the start time. After 10 weeks, 5S performance index is maintained around desired value 100%.

Abstract:
A computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling center is a machine tool for the production of parts with planar, cylindrical and shaped surfaces. The milling center analyzed here includes an open frame — a structure resembling the shape of the letter C. The main cutting motion is performed by a tool clamped in the spindle. Secondary motion can be linear, rotary or a combination of these. Linear movements in three axes are performed by the tool by means of linear motion components (i.e. motion screws and linear guide rails). Rotary motion is performed only when the workpiece is clamped to the rotary table which is mounted on the mounting plate. The basic demands placed on the structure of a milling center include high static and dynamic stiffness during machining processes. This article is primarily aimed at evaluating the response of the frame of the CNC milling machine to the excitation caused by the fluctuation of cutting forces due to step changes in the number of engaged cutting edges. To ensure optimum machining conditions it is important to set suitable cutting conditions for a frame structure with sufficient stiffness. Unsuitable cutting conditions and low stiffness of the machine frame may lead to dimensional inaccuracies of the workpiece, to decreased quality of the machined surfaces or even to the destruction of the tool cutting edges. The aims of the study include the determination of the static deformation, modal analysis to assess the dynamic properties of the frame, and harmonic response analysis, taking into consideration the amplitudes of the loading forces specified in accordance with the recommended operating conditions of the individual tools. Finite element method (FEM) analyses of the frame were performed using MSC.Marc software. Due to the high structural complexity of the computer aided design (CAD) model, the computational model for the FEM analysis had to be simplified. Only the major structural parts and the connecting parts were meshed in detail, combining both structured and unstructured mesh. Geometrically complicated cast parts with large changes of thickness were meshed with linear tetrahedral elements (tetra4) with full integration. Rotationally symmetrical parts, plates and linear guide rails components were meshed with linear brick elements (hex8) with full integration. The overall number of elements was approximately 1,400,000. Tools, including the clamping head and the spindle, are represented by approximate meshes of brick elements. However, a detailed FEM model of the spindle and the tool would be needed for the analysis of the self-excited oscillations during machining, which is the subject of a large number of scientific publications. Increased attention was paid to the incorporation and set-up of the springs between corresponding pairs of nodes of the meshed linear motion components. As a computational model for modal and harmonic response analyses needs to be strictly linear, only linear elastic material properties and linear springs were defined in the analyses presented here.
