A critical understanding of artificial intelligence: A phenomenological foundation / Mickunas, Algis,; Pilotta, Joseph John, Artificial intelligence (AI) is viewed as one of the technological advances that will reshape modern societies and their relations. While the design and deployment of systems that continually adapt hold the promise of far-reaching, positive change, they simultaneously pose significant risks, especially to already vulnerable people. This work explores the meaning of AI, and the important role of critical understanding and its phenomenological foundation in shaping its ongoing advances. The values, power, and magic of reason are central to this discussion. Critical theory has used historical hindsight to explain the patterns of power that shape our intellectual, political, economic, and social worlds, and the discourse on AI that surrounds these worlds. The authors also delve into niche topics in philosophy such as transcendental self-awareness, post-humanism, and concepts of space-time and computer logic. By embedding a critical phenomenological orientation within their technical practices, AI communities can develop foresight and tactics that can better align research and technology development with established ethical principles — centering vulnerable people who continue to bear the brunt of the negative impacts of innovation and scientific progress. The creation of a critical–technical practice of AI will lead to a permanent revolution in social, scientific, and political communities. The years ahead will usher in a wave of new scientific breakthroughs and technologies driven by AI research, making it incumbent upon AI communities to strengthen the social contract through ethical foresight, a capability which only phenomenology can deliver, ultimately supporting future technologies that enable greater well-being, with the goal of delivering practical truths. A Critical Understanding of Artificial Intelligence: A Phenomenological Foundation is an essential read for anyone interested in the complex debate and phenomenology surrounding AI and its growing role in our society.

Kapinės už miesto, miške. Katalikų laidojimo kraštovaizdžiai XIX a. Vilniuje : Bazaraitė, Eglė, Išvirkščias miestas. Visuomenės veidrodis. Atminties kraštovaizdis. Meno ir istorijos sodas. Moralės akademija. Žmonių muziejus. Tai prasmės ir funkcijos, XIX a. pradžioje įžvelgtos naujai įrengiamose kapinėse tiek Vilniuje, tiek Vakarų Europoje. Dr. Eglė Bazaraitė monografijoje Kapinės už miesto, miške dekonstruoja trejų Vilniaus katalikų kapinių – Rasų, Bernardinų ir Saulės – erdvinę struktūrą, brėžia paraleles ir išryškina prieštaras su to laiko kapinėmis krikščioniškame Europos branduolyje. Monografijoje į katalikų laidojimo kraštovaizdžius žvelgiama pasitelkiant architektūrines priemones, pristatant šias miesto teritorijas kaip daugiasluoksnį erdvinį konstruktą, suformuotą istorinių bei kultūrinių kontekstų.

Pacientų įtraukties instrumentai sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų kokybei gerinti Jankauskienė, Danguolė; Mockevičienė, Birutė; Servetkienė, Vaida; Jankauskienė, Augustina; Ažukaitis, Karolis; Trinkūnas, Justas; Puronaitė, Roma; Vaitkevičienė, Goda Elizabeta; Černovas, Andrejus The success of health policy and the healthcare sector is increasingly measured in terms of the dynamics and changes in public trust in the healthcare system, the quality of services provided by healthcare facilities matching people’s expectations, and the fulfilment of patient needs. In order to ensure the required efficiency of public services and to provide better-quality and more accessible healthcare services that match the expectations of the population, it is necessary that the recipients of these services (patients) themselves are actively engaged in improvement processes. Therefore, increasing importance and value is placed on the engagement of the patient in the process of improving healthcare services as an active and informed participant of the healthcare system.
