Abstract This paper develops a position I call “apathetic pragmatism.” Apathetic pragmatism is a form of pragmatism that, through advocating “apathy” about the topic of truth, avoids the troubled identification of utility and truth found in classical and neo pragmatist theories of truth. Initially explored by Stephen Stich, I argue Stich’s case for apathetic pragmatism relies upon a theory of truth that causes vicious circularity. I then pursue a different route to apathetic pragmatism, one that sees apathetic pragmatism as a “paradigm shift” in relation to previous forms of pragmatism. It is a paradigm shift where pragmatism becomes a normative view concerning the questions that are necessary to ask, not an attempt to answer questions assumed necessary.

Contemporary Pragmatics has the semiotic features from the respects of disciplinary naming, the means of development, and theoretical source to research object and method. It is not only an independent linguistics and language science, but also an interdisciplinary field and paradigm. This paper is to explore the semiotic features and dimensions of Pragmatics for tracing back the origin and the theoretical resources from semiotic perspective, and to define its research scope and clarify the connotation of its conception. As Semiotics has a triad dimension of semiosis, one of which is the “pragmatic dimension”. Therefore, contemporary pragmatics includes at least three semiotic dimensions: scientific semiotics, linguistic semiotics and social semiotics. The semiotic analysis of Pragmatics could be conducive to clarify and fix the semiotic and philosophical origin, definition, disciplinary connotation and meaning of Pragmatics, which is also theoretically helpful for clarifying the concepts for the study of philosophical pragmatism, pragmaticism, semiotics, semantics and syntax.

Today, Information Systems research and in particular in the area of ICT4D in developing nations is dominated by positivism and interpretivism paradigms. Information systems contributions are influenced by historical, cultural, and political contexts in which it is done. Researchers in this area question the appropriateness of positivism and interpretivism philosophical foundations to conduct ICT4D research. This paper explores the use of pragmatism as an alternative research paradigm to that can be employed to understand the state of the ICT4D research. Research drawing explicitly on pragmatism is still relatively rare. The paper reviews the pragmatism in terms of its ontology, epistemology, axiology and methodology and its value in the ICT4D research discipline. As a new paradigm, pragmatism disrupts the assumptions of older approaches based on the philosophy of knowledge, while providing promising new directions for conducting and understanding the nature of research in the area of ICT4D in developing countries. It is anticipated the readers of the article to make a more informed choice for themselves on whether or not to pursue the path ofpragmatism their own research.

Cybersecurity systems are required at the application, network, host, and data levels. The research is purposed to evaluate Artificial Intelligence paradigms for use in network detection and prevention systems. This is purposed to develop a Cybersecurity system that uses artificial intelligence paradigms and can handle a high degree of complexity. The Pragmatism paradigm is elaborately associated with the Mixed Method Research (MMR), and is the research philosophy used in this research. Pragmatism recognizes the full rationale of the congruence between knowledge and action. The Pragmatic paradigm advocates a relational epistemology, a non-singular reality ontology, a mixed methods methodology, and a value-laden axiology. A qualitative approach where Focus Group discussions were held was used. The Artificial Intelligence paradigms evaluated include machine learning methods, autonomous robotic vehicle, artificial neural networks, and fuzzy logic. A discussion was held on the performance of Support Vector Machines, Artificial Neural Network, K-Nearest Neighbour, Naive-Bayes and Decision Tree Algorithms.

Full textAbstract:
Debates around the issues of knowledge of, and for, social work and other social justice–oriented professions are not uncommon. More prevalent are the discussions around the ways by which social work knowledge is obtained. In recent years, social work scholars have drawn on the epistemology of pragmatism to present a case for its value in the creation of knowledge for social work and other social justice–oriented professions. The primary focus of this essay is on providing a critical review and synthesis of the literature regarding pragmatism as a research paradigm. In this essay, we analyze the major philosophical underpinnings and methodological challenges associated with pragmatism, synthesize the works of scholars who have contributed to the understanding of pragmatism as a research paradigm, articulate our thoughts about how pragmatism fits within social work research, and illustrate how it is linked to the pursuit of social justice. This article brings together a variety of perspectives to argue that pragmatism has the potential to closely engage and empower marginalized and oppressed communities and provide hard evidence for the macro level discourse.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of the mixed research approach has been accompanied by searching for a philosophy that legitimates mixing quantitative and qualitative methods in one research. Many researchers consider pragmatism as the most common philosophical justification for the mixed research approach; however, pragmatism is criticized as a philosophy in general and also as philosophical support for the mixed research approach especially for not addressing the differing assumptions of the quantitative and qualitative paradigms. Trying to overcome this criticism, the current research is mainly concerned with presenting pragmatism as a coherent, integrated paradigm by conceptualizing its ontological, epistemological and axiological stances. The researcher coins three new terminologies: the reality cycle, the double-faced knowledge, and the necessary bias principle. These philosophical stances combine both the quantitative and qualitative paradigms' points of view as two integrated, not conflicting philosophies.

The discourse on experimental pragmatism, as a paradigm in architecture and in other fields, is still very limited. Most references still place this term as jargon. This study aims to establish definition and working model of experimental pragmatism paradigm in architecture using content analysis methods. It was learned that experimental pragmatism can be defined as a design paradigm that prioritizes the strength of goals (discoveries) and their actualization in the process (experimentation) and design outcomes according to their attributes (method-and-parameter (process) and nature-and-parameters (output)). The definition of experimental pragmatism (PE) includes three aspects, namely the aspect of the goal (T) to get a new discovery (discovery), the process aspect (P), and the output aspect (L). This definition can be translated as a working model into formula PE = T x (PMP + LSP), where MP is Method and Parameter and SP is Characteristic and Parameter.

Full textAbstract:
The foreign policy of the United States in the Middle East has taken many twists and turns since the first American citizens were taken captive by North African pirates in 1784. These foreign lands are a constant presence for contemporary Americans. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, the United States has been continuously at war. “Tellingly, the Asian greens that once camouflaged the fatigues of U.S. troops have burnished to Arabian browns and yellows, and Arabic has supplanted Russian as the lingua sancta of the intelligence services.”Unfortunately, constantly shifting motivations for US foreign policy in the Middle East has led to a situation that emboldens our enemies, weakens our allies trust, and makes us an unpredictable player in the Middle East. This thesis will examine the conflict between idealism and pragmatism in American relations with the Middle East, specifically during the 1950s under the Truman and Eisenhower administrations. Before launching into this task, it is essential to answer basic questions that will guide the reader through this thesis: How has the ‘Middle East’ been defined as a geographic area and a zone of contention? Why does this thesis identify the 1950s as thecrucial period for exploring the tenets of US Foreign Policy in relation to this zone? And how does the conflict between idealism and pragmatism emerge as the key tension in US rhetoric and action related to the Middle East?

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the record of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA, 2004-14) government in India in its efforts to promote better equality of opportunity for religious minorities with special reference to Muslims. In order to address the concerns of religious minorities, especially disadvantaged Muslims, the UPA administration introduced new policies, administrative innovations and executive actions to deliver substantive equality of opportunity in a regime of 'competing equalities' for backward and disadvantaged castes. Conventional political science explanations of the UPA's shortcomings on these policies, this thesis argues, offer only a limited understanding. A more comprehensive account needs to combine a historical reading of how minority rights have been framed within the Indian Constitution, how they have evolved in practice as a result of institutionalisation and path dependence, and a policy analysis of the UPA government's performance. Taking this as its point of departure, the thesis develops an institutional policy analysis approach which combines historical institutionalism (and path dependence) and policy analysis with a particular emphasis on the policy process. It provides detailed case studies of the policy process in three areas: Muslims and public sector employment; the provision of service delivery for Muslim communities; and the efforts to create a new legislative framework against communal violence. By drawing on extensive official sources and in-depth interviews with key policymakers, the institutional policy analysis approach, it is suggested, offers a more rounded approach to why UPA's policies were thwarted than hitherto. Although the UPA's policies on religious minorities, especially Muslims, held the promise of delivering substantive equality of opportunity, institutionalised resistance to such change from backward and disadvantaged caste lobbies, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the allied forces of Hindutva, and the civil service and the judiciary reestablished the familiar pattern of path dependence and reinforced the limited understanding of minority rights during constitution-making.

Full textAbstract:
This master’s thesis studies the European Union’s (EU) foreign policy in the Eastern Partnership before and after the EU Global Strategy (EUGS) and investigates whether or not there has been a policy shift towards the paradigm of resilience. Previous research disagrees on the implications of the EUGS and I argue that more empirical research on the matter is needed. The purpose of this thesis is thus to empirically investigate whether or not a shift in EU foreign policy towards a paradigm of resilience has indeed taken place in practice after the launch of the EUGS. Two sources of data are used in the study: the first and principal are the annual action programmes for the Eastern Partnership used by the EU for planning and delivering of external assistance; the second is a set of semi-structured elite interviews conducted with respondents representing the Eastern Partnership and the EU respectively. The results are mixed, showing a slight trend towards resilience-building but no ground-breaking paradigm shift has occurred. I argue that the resilience-building focus and principled pragmatism approach presented by the EUGS rather should be seen as an attempt by the EU to be honest with the foreign policy it is already conducting.

Action is traditionally explained in philosophy by means of theories that consider it to be the effect of one or several causes (DAVIDSON, 1968, 1980). Although the principle of mechanical causality – understood as efficient cause – may be sufficient to explain a range of physical events, it has been found to be inadequate to explain action, as pointed out by philosophers including von Wright (1973), Dretske (1981, 1988, 1995), Juarrero (1999), Emmeche (2006, 2007), Gonzalez (2005, 2006, 2007) and Üexküll (1982).

To address problem (ii), we examine the validity of the presupposition according to which a theory is explanatory when it describes the mechanical causes involved in action.

Following the line taken by earlier philosophers, in discussion of problem (iii), we argue that the explanation of action must extend beyond the dyadic causal domain and incorporate a level that includes the manipulation of meaningful information.

Full textAbstract:
There is a critical gap in translating scientific discoveries to public health benefit. For example, despite a multitude of efficacious physical activity interventions, only one in four adults in the United States meets the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. To bridge the research-practice gap, Dissemination and Implementation (DandI) Science has emerged as the study of how evidence-based interventions, programs, and policies are integrated in typical settings. Recent research illustrates barriers to conducting DandI Science and the need for methods that open the black box of implementation. Therefore, the overarching goal of this dissertation was to explore novel approaches for advancing DandI Science. This exploration is presented in three manuscripts and one report.
The first manuscript presents a pragmatic, observational study applying the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) Framework to evaluate a perinatal health fair. Results include that the health fair reached 42 attendees and that 23 educators and seven organizations hosted booths and educational sessions. Mom Expo required 292 implementation hours with 71% of those hours devoted to building relationships. We generated 30 actionable strategies for implementing a health fair. The health fair developed into a non-profit organization, and the participatory approach used can be replicated in other communities to establish connections between local women, educators, and researchers.
The second manuscript reports a one-year autoethnography (i.e., first-person narrative) of a perinatal health integrated research practice partnership (IRPP). Findings include three themes: (1) permeable work boundaries, (2) blind spots toward philosophical underpinnings of paradigms, and (3) maladaptive behaviors seemingly reinforced by the research culture. We concluded that autoethnography is an effective novel method to leverage researcher situatedness and capture implementation contexts, processes, and outcomes.
The third manuscript presents the longitudinal pilot test of FUEL (focus, unplug, exercise, love), a one-on-one coaching program to promote human flourishing among DandI researchers. Results include that the coach spent 12.96+2.82 hours per participant (N= 16) implementing individually-tailored sessions, and that participants reported multiple, sustained benefits related to productivity, happiness, and health. We concluded that the program is a feasible, well-received approach with preliminary positive effects. Future work is needed to investigate physiological or performance outcomes and, ultimately, impact on DandI.
The final report is a literature review and critical analysis of phenomenology within behavioral and community health research. Conclusions include that (1) physical activity is rooted in a scientific paradigm that prioritizes quantifiable mechanism over personal meaning, and (2) phenomenology, as a complement to basic science, is a compelling method, paradigm, and practice to improve research translation.
Based on this research, I conclude that three pathways for advancing DandI Science are methods that capture first-person meaning, paradigms that incorporate phenomenological human experience as an essential dimension of health research, and practices that fuel researchers' capacity for generating transformative work. In all three pathways, the heart of elevating DandI Science is to embrace process, person, and presence.Doctor of Philosophy
Scientific evidence does not automatically translate to real-world behavior change. For example, despite considerable research about the health benefits of physical activity, only one in four American adults meets the national physical activity recommendations. To bridge the research-practice gap, Dissemination and Implementation (DandI) Science has emerged as the study of how scientific findings are integrated in typical settings such as schools and communities. Recent research illustrates multiple barriers to DandI Science and a need for methods that capture hard-to-measure, chaotic implementation processes and outcomes. Therefore, the overarching goal of this dissertation was to explore novel approaches to DandI Science and bridging the research-practice gap. This exploration is presented in three manuscripts and one report. The first manuscript describes a perinatal health fair intended to connect local parents to community resources. The second manuscript is a 12-month autoethnography (i.e., first-person narrative) about the culture of DandI Science, including the role, impact, and practices of researchers themselves. The third manuscript presents the development and preliminary testing of FUEL (focus, unplug, exercise, love), a one-on-one coaching program for DandI researchers. The final report includes the history of randomized controlled trials as the gold standard for physical activity research, as well as critical analysis of using phenomenology to reduce the research-practice gap. Findings from the first manuscript suggest that (1) authentic relationship building was the key to launching a perinatal health fair that developed into a non-profit organization and (2) the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) Framework is a user-friendly DandI tool for implementing and evaluating a health fair. Findings from the second manuscript include descriptions of (1) blind spots within the DandI Science culture, (2) potential of autoethnography as a novel DandI method, and (3) strategies to optimize DandI researchers' capacity to thrive amid challenges. Findings from the third manuscript suggest that the FUEL coaching program is a promising and feasible approach to support researchers in leading "a more productive, healthier, and happier life," as one participant wrote. Future research on the program is needed to evaluate causation and whether organizations would adopt it. Conclusions in the final report include that (1) the applicability of physical activity research to daily life may be limited by deeply held scientific ideologies and (2) phenomenology, as the study of human meaning, may facilitate the translation of research to real-world behavior change. Based on the research presented in this dissertation, three pathways for advancing DandI Science are methods for how we conduct research studies, paradigms for how we collectively approach health science, and practices for how we manage our energy and awareness. In all three pathways, the heart of elevating DandI Science is to embrace process, person, and presence.

Examinamos a concorrência entre dois modelos de clínica psiquiátrica na atualidade, o “tradicional” e o modelo da reforma psiquiátrica, que poderia ser entendida como disputa entre paradigmas no campo da saúde mental. Sugerimos que a adesão ao modelo da reforma psiquiátrica tem ocorrido essencialmente por razões político-ideológicas, mas pouco se têm discutido os pressupostos epistemológicos que fundamentariam esse modelo. Argumentamos a favor da hipótese de que os modelos médicos comporiam um todo auto-sustentado, que abarcaria desde uma concepção de mundo e de como poderíamos conhecê-lo, à concepção do objeto de estudo e daí às estratégias diagnósticas e terapêuticas. Assumindo tal hipótese, o presente trabalho visa identificar alguns fundamentos ontológicos e epistemológicos de ambos os modelos de clínica psiquiátrica. Nosso objetivo central é discutir fundamentos epistemológicos para uma clínica da reforma que fossem capazes de ampliar o foco da atenção em saúde, preservando valores como a liberdade, singularidade e indeterminação do sujeito e, ao mesmo tempo, manter a possibilidade de um empreendimento com rigor científico. No âmbito da psiquiatria tradicional, debitária do modelo biomédico da medicina geral, indicamos a provável relação entre fundamentos onto-epistemológicos mecanicistas e objetivistas e a instituição de um reducionismo ontológico e metodológico, com conseqüências indesejáveis para a prática clínica. Por outro lado, apoiados na teoria sistêmica, na teoria de níveis, na teoria da autoorganização e no pluralismo epistemológico, argumentamos que uma forma de pluralismo perspectivista e uma cosmologia não-mecanicista de inspiração peirceana contribuiriam para...
The present dissertation discusses questions in the realm of philosophy of science, more specifically issues concerning the philosophy of psychiatry. We examine the opposition between two active models of clinical psychiatry, the “traditional” and the psychiatric reform models, which could be understood as a dispute between different paradigms in the field of mental health. We suggest that adherence to the psychiatric reform model has occurred essentially for political-ideological reasons, but that there has been little discussion of the epistemological presuppositions on which the model is based. We argue in favor of the hypothesis that medical models comprise a self-sustaining whole, which proceeds from a conception of the world and how we might understand it, to the conception of the object under study, and from there to diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Resumo: A presente dissertação discute questões no âmbito da filosofia da ciência, mais especificamente tópicos da filosofia da psiquiatria. Examinamos a concorrência entre dois modelos de clínica psiquiátrica na atualidade, o "tradicional" e o modelo da reforma psiquiátrica, que poderia ser entendida como disputa entre paradigmas no campo da saúde mental. Sugerimos que a adesão ao modelo da reforma psiquiátrica tem ocorrido essencialmente por razões político-ideológicas, mas pouco se têm discutido os pressupostos epistemológicos que fundamentariam esse modelo. Argumentamos a favor da hipótese de que os modelos médicos comporiam um todo auto-sustentado, que abarcaria desde uma concepção de mundo e de como poderíamos conhecê-lo, à concepção do objeto de estudo e daí às estratégias diagnósticas e terapêuticas. Assumindo tal hipótese, o presente trabalho visa identificar alguns fundamentos ontológicos e epistemológicos de ambos os modelos de clínica psiquiátrica. Nosso objetivo central é discutir fundamentos epistemológicos para uma clínica da reforma que fossem capazes de ampliar o foco da atenção em saúde, preservando valores como a liberdade, singularidade e indeterminação do sujeito e, ao mesmo tempo, manter a possibilidade de um empreendimento com rigor científico. No âmbito da psiquiatria tradicional, debitária do modelo biomédico da medicina geral, indicamos a provável relação entre fundamentos onto-epistemológicos mecanicistas e objetivistas e a instituição de um reducionismo ontológico e metodológico, com conseqüências indesejáveis para a prática clínica. Por outro lado, apoiados na teoria sistêmica, na teoria de níveis, na teoria da autoorganização e no pluralismo epistemológico, argumentamos que uma forma de pluralismo perspectivista e uma cosmologia não-mecanicista de inspiração peirceana contribuiriam para...

Abstract: The present dissertation discusses questions in the realm of philosophy of science, more specifically issues concerning the philosophy of psychiatry. We examine the opposition between two active models of clinical psychiatry, the "traditional" and the psychiatric reform models, which could be understood as a dispute between different paradigms in the field of mental health. We suggest that adherence to the psychiatric reform model has occurred essentially for political-ideological reasons, but that there has been little discussion of the epistemological presuppositions on which the model is based. We argue in favor of the hypothesis that medical models comprise a self-sustaining whole, which proceeds from a conception of the world and how we might understand it, to the conception of the object under study, and from there to diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Given such a hypothesis, this work aims to identify some of the ontological and epistemological foundations of both models of clinical psychiatry.

Resumo: Este trabalho investiga a atividade filosófica de análise conceitual segundo a concebe o Wittgenstein tardio, do ponto de vista da maneira como tal análise contribui para exibir os limites casuísticos do sentido após o Tractatus. A análise conceitual é então considerada sobretudo do ponto de vista do seu escopo, i.e., do seu terminus. Três momentos são pontuados, correspondentes aos três capítulos: 1. o momento de introdução das regras como objeto de análise, no contexto dos respectivos sistemas de regras; 2. o momento de pluralização dos sistemas de regras, isto é, quando o âmbito de esclarecimento duma regra extrapola para sistemas encadeados, quando então se introduz o conceito de jogo de linguagem para dar conta do modo desse encadeamento; e por fim, 3. o momento em que a análise conceitual encontra os seus limites últimos no contexto amplíssimo e vago (die Umgebung) da forma de vida. Paralelamente a essa tripla pontuação, ressaltam-se alguns aspectos mais específicos, relativos às diferenças entre os três paradigmas de análise: 1. os diferentes procedimentos de análise, ou esclarecimento, solicitados por cada paradigma; 2. aquilo que, em cada paradigma, conta como conceito; e, por fim, 3. um movimento amplo, que se mostra numa consideração retrospectiva dos três paradigmas, de ampliação do âmbito analítico em direção ao ambiente pragmático.
Abstract: This work investigates the philosophical activity of conceptual analysis as conceived by the latter Wittgenstein, from the point of view of the way in which it contributes to exhibit the casuistic limits of sense after the Tractatus. Conceptual analysis is thus considered particularly from the point of view of its scope, of its terminus. Three moments are pinpointed, corresponding to the three chapters: 1. the moment when rules are introduced as objects of analysis, in the context of the corresponding systems of rules; 2. the moment of pluralization of the systems of rules, i.e., when the field of a rule's clarification extrapolates to chained systems, and the concept of language game is introduced to account for the mode of such continuity; and finally, 3. the moment in which conceptual analysis finds its outer boundaries in the very broad and vague context (die Umgebung) of the form of life. Parallel to this, more specific aspects are outlined, relative to the differences between the three paradigms of analysis: 1. the different procedures of analysis, or clarification, required by each paradigm; 2. what counts as a concept in each paradigm; and finally, 3. a wider movement, which is revealed in a retrospective consideration of the three paradigms, of broadening of the analytical scope, toward the pragmatic environment

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, the progressive modeling approach and the Reconfiguration and Operation Planning (ROP) problem are introduced. Progressive Modeling (PM) is a forward-looking multi-disciplinary modeling approach that has been developed to modernize the modeling process of today’s complex industrial problems and create pragmatic solutions for many of them. Many principles and foundations of progressive modeling will be presented while utilizing the reconfiguration and operation planning problem (ROP) as a demonstrating application. The ROP problem describes a new approach of reconfiguration and operations planning in a reconfigurable manufacturing environment. PM is about to spark a new paradigm of solving large-scale system problems in many engineering and business domains in a highly pragmatic way without losing the scientific rigor.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the specifics of the public sphere of science in the context of the diffusion of the public and private spheres that characterises modern society and is driven, among other factors, by the development of social media and other tools of online communication. Based on the communicative approach suggested by Jurgen Habermas, the science field concept by Pierre Bourdieu, and the actor-network theory by Bruno Latour, the following two types of modern science publicness are defined. Inner, ‘esoteric publicness’ of science itself is a prerequisite for scientific communication, and is set up on the principles of reasonable doubt and criticism, assuming discussiveness, knowledge, and uncertainty of arguable facts. Outer, ‘broad publicness’ becomes a platform of interaction between science and society, and requires science to provide ultimate knowledge. Using the example of the use of texts of scientific articles in popular scientific texts, the problem of the diffusion of the two public spheres is examined. Firstly, the conventional layman is confronted directly with the inner workings of science, and thus has to deal with discrepancies, which he cannot resolve on his own. Secondly, the pragmatics of the scientific article undergos changes, its conclusions tend to radicalise, and the very article is used only for confirming the credibility of a popular text referring to it. The change in the reader (a professional is replaced by a layperson) has an effect on the original pragmatics of the text and the impact it has on the addressee. What is supposed to serve as the discussion onset in ‘esoteric publicness’, becomes the rationale for the unconditional recognition of communicated information in the ‘broad publicness’ of science.

Full textAbstract:
The theoretical and methodological analysis of modern educational paradigms is made in the article and axiological vectors of higher education development are distinguished on this basis. Four basic educational paradigms have been identified: cognitive informational (traditional, cognitive), personal (humanistic), competence and cultural (humanitarian). It has been found that, unlike instrument-oriented learning, which provides the translation, reproduction and assimilation of knowledge, skills, technologies (cognitive informational and competence paradigms) and therefore is secondary to the processes of personality development, education should firstly be focused on becoming holistic personality, ensure his organic and unique (personal and cultural paradigms). It has been substantiated that at the theoretical level there is a sharp narrowing of the semantic field of scientific and pedagogical reflection: attention is paid to the production of the amount of knowledge, given social behavior, technologies of activity of the future specialist. Therefore, education in its humanitarian sense suffers first of all and the quality of education is often reduced to the level of acquisition of special knowledge and mastery of professional skills. It has been shown that higher education institutions are more and more inclined to a pragmatic education, training professionals, and functionaries. In this case, information overload blocks the affective-emotional sphere of the individual, prevents adequate, holistic perception of reality, actualization of creative potential. It is determined that the reform of modern education should be based on the idea of the integrity, which actualizes the problem of careful reflexive and methodological support of the modern higher education system and the development of specific humanitarian educational technologies.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the results of the analysis of modern trends in the field of functional programming, considered as a methodology for solving problems of organizing parallel computing. The paradigm analysis of languages and functional programming systems is involved. Taking into account paradigmatic features is useful in predicting the course of application processes of programs, as well as in planning their study and development. Functional programming helps to improve the performance of programs by preparing their prototypes in advance. The description of the semantic and pragmatic principles of functional programming and the consequences of these principles is given. The complexity of creating programs for solving new problems is noted. The role of the paradigmatic decomposition of programs in the technology of developing long-lived programs is noted. The perspective of functional programming as a universal technique for solving complex problems, burdened with difficult to verify and poorly compatible requirements, is especially emphasized. Paradigm analysis of programming languages and systems allows to reduce the complexity of the problems being solved by methods of decomposition of programs into autonomously developed components and prototypes, which also reduces the labor costs of developing programs. A variety of paradigmatic characteristics inherent in the preparation and debugging of parallel computing programs is shown.

Full textAbstract:
Leadership development is a phenomenon that is highly desired by organisations. A sound leadership development programme not only does it increase productivity, but it also orchestrates the achievement of the strategy and vision of the organisations. The leadership development vacuum, however, poses a threat to the growth and success of the organisations since leaders are unable to keep up with the volatile and disruptive changes of the fourth industrial revolution. It is against this background that Botswana Open University (BOU), found it necessary to initiate a needs assessment on leadership development to identify the skills and competence gaps. The research adopts the pragmatic paradigm. This paradigm is commonly associated with the mixed method approach to data collection and analysis. Out of (n) 48 employees in the two divisions under study, (n)28 responded to the survey and (n) 4 declined to participate. Twenty-two (n)22, participated in the focus groups interviews. A survey was conducted online using Google forms and scheduled focus group interviews were conducted through Google meet. The findings revealed that for the University to stay relevant in this era and increase their return on investment it is vital to develop the mindsets of 21st century leadership. Employees are empowered to take up their respective roles to promote the growth of the University and there is a zeal to build high performance teams and nurture talent.
