The forgotten names in legal psychology: Erich Wulffen (1862-1936)

The subject of this research is the life path and scientific legacy of Erich Wulffen (1862-1936) – a prominent representative of the German legal psychology of the late XIX – early XX century. Unfortunately, his works are insufficiently studied in Russia. Therefore, the goal of this study consists in filling the information gaps on the evolution of legal psychology in Germany; analysis of the history of this field of scientific knowledge through the prism of personal biography and scientific contribution of the outstanding German scholar, whose works had a significant impact upon the development of Western European legal psychology. The following methods were applied: historical-functional, comparative-historical, systematization of psychological ideas of E. Wulffen, retrospective reconstruction of the evolution of his scientific ideas, and biographical that allowed determining his contribution to the formation of legal psychology as science. The author comprehensively examines the scientific legacy of Erich Wulffen – a scholar who made a significant contribution to the establishment and development of legal psychology in Germany. The new data is introduced into the scientific discourse allowing to analyze the logics and dynamics of evolution of psychological views, as well as determine the most important ideas of E. Wulffen that retain their relevance at present.

A Smart Multi-scale and Multi-temporal System to Support Precision and Sustainable Agriculture from Satellite Images

Currently, the main goal of agriculture is to support the achievement of food security in a sustainable way through the improvement of use efficiency of farm resources, increasing crop yield and quality, under climate change conditions. Farm resources use improvement, as well as the reduction of soil degradation processes, can be realized by means of high spatial and temporal resolution of field crop monitoring, aiming to manage the local spatial variability. In the case of high incomes crops, as the vineyards for high-quality wines, the monitoring of spatial behavior of plants during the growing season represents an opportunity to improve the plant management, the farmer incomes and to preserve the environmental health. However, because the field monitoring is an additional cost for the farmer, its diffusion is slow down and with it the achievement of sustainable agriculture. In the last decades, the satellite multispectral images have been widely used for the management of large areas, with a limitation in observation due to the pre-defined and fixed scale with relatively coarse spatial resolution, resulting in restrictions in their application. This paper presents a modified multiscale full-connected convolutional neural network (CNN) as a practical tool for pan-sharpening of Sentinel-2A images by UAV images. The reconstructed data are validated by independent multispectral UAV images and in-situ spectral measurements, providing a multitemporal evaluation of plant responses through a set of selected vegetation indices. The proposed methodology has been tested on plant measurements taken either in-vivo and through the retrospective reconstruction of the eco-physiological vine behavior, by the evaluation of water conductivity and water use efficiency indexes from anatomical and isotopic traits recorded in vine stem wood. Such a methodology, able to evaluate with high spatial and temporal resolution the plant responses, combining the pro and cons of space-borne and UAVs data, has been applied in a vineyard of southern Italy by analyzing the period from 2015 to 2018. The obtained results have shown a good correspondence between the vegetation indices obtained from reconstructed Sentinel-2A data and plant measurements obtained from tree-ring based retrospective reconstruction of eco-physiological behavior.

Fight, freeze or flee: Exploring youngsters’ strategies in dealing with youth care interventions

Continuity of care is seen as a challenge for youth care services. Research on continuity of care in relation to youth care services is scarce, and there is a strong tendency to overly stress the managerial and technical aspects of care. However, research on continuity from a youngster’s perspective suggests a more complex construction of continuity. The connection with youth care services is especially under pressure in the confrontation with difficulties and critical moments. In this narrative study, we aim at gaining insight into youngsters’ different strategies in vulnerable situations when facing difficulties in their trajectories in relation to youth care interventions. By retrospective reconstruction of their trajectories in relation to youth care interventions, youngsters were able to express significant moments in their biographical timeline. The narratives are analysed using the framework given in literature on users’ coping strategies in relation to dissatisfaction in services: loyalty, voice, exit and neglect. We have chosen three topical life stories of youngsters to represent the research findings that illustrate identified strategies of fighting, freezing and fleeing care, which are to be viewed as translations of the Hirschman coping strategies. However, a deeper analysis of these interactions results in a more complex view on strategies and shows that these can be misinterpreted by youth care workers. Different elements such as timing, clinical overshadowing or the pre-structured nature of youth care interventions are linked to this mismatch between what youngsters want and what youth care workers offer. Options are presented to handle these difficult interconnections.

DVILYPĖ FILOSOFINIO MODERNO SAVIGRINDA IN PECTORE – TVARUSIS HYPOKEIMENON IR ATOMON SĄJUNGOS TRAPUMAS

Modernusis epistemologinis metanaratyvas randasi kaip universalusis žmogiškojo pažinimo savigrindos projektas. Retrospektyviąją šio projekto pagrindų rekonstrukciją įgalina dekartiškojo subjectum kaip epistemologinio ego siejimas ne tik, sekant Heideggeriu, su hypokeimenon, bet ir, reinterpretuojant Habermaso įžvalgas, su atomon kaip performatyviąja moderniosios individualumo sampratos versme. Epistemologinis ego kaip atomon apnuogina solipsistinę moderniosios pažinimo teorijos agneologinę priedermę, o epistemologinis ego kaip hypokeimenon išreiškia dekartiškojo subjectum performatyvumą. Toks agneologinis performatyvumas ir yra agneologinis antropocentrinės epistemologijos branduolys, atskleidžiantis ir sisteminantis darnią jame ex necessitate rei slypėjusių pažintinių galių visumą galimos pažinti būties ir metafilosofinių ego cogito steiginių izomorfijos horizonte. Tad klausimas „Kaip įmanomas pažintinių patikimumo pretenzijų įteisinimas reflektyviosios epistemologinio ego savipratos ištekliais?“ laikytinas visos moderniosios, par excellence agneologinės, filosofijos ašimi. Būtent tokia nuolat replikuojama epistemologinio ego metafilosofinė performacija ir yra tvariojo moderniosios Vakarų filosofijos trapumo – jos agneologinio gymio – laidas, raiška ir lemtis.Bifurcating Foundationalism of the Philosophical Modernity in pectore: Persistent Lability of the Hypokeimenon-Atomon JointureMarius Povilas Šaulauskas SummaryThe primary desiderata of the modern epistemological metanarrative eventually hinges on the reflexively founded certainty and universality of human knowledge. The retrospective reconstruction of the conceptual underpinnings of this modernity’s project dwells on the reinterpretation of Cartesian subjectum, posited as an epistemological ego, in terms of not only Heideggerian hypokeimenon, but also of Habermasian atomon, understood as a performative constituent of the modern nuclear individuality. While hypokeimenon pinpoints the irreducible performativity of the epistemological ego, its atomon determinant unveils the agneological and solipsistic nature of modern epistemology. It is the agneological performativity of the modern anthropocentrical epistemology that serves as an ultimate basis for the systematic disclosure of the unified epistemic potential of modern knowledge, unfolded along the isomorphic lines of the metaphilosophical presumptions of ego cogito and universal pretensions of empirical natural philosophy. Thus the question how to establish the certainty of reliable human knowledge on the ground of reflexive self-understanding of the epistemological ego stands as the ultimate basis of the par excellence agneological modern philosophy. The metaphilosophical performation of the epistemological ego is unremittingly replicated as a warrant, expression and fortune of the persistent lability of modern Western philosophy, its ineradicably agneological posture.
