This article shows that the Rhodian model of metatheory can be successfully applied to nonformal systems of a methodological rather than an axiological nature if the demands of the model are satisfied. This requires that we take into account the possible variations of Rhodian models of argumentation and choose the most effective of them. Plato's model of meta‐argumentation is only applicable to fields of argumentation that are completely formalized and could be presented as whole general theories.
This article presents a critical analysis of the main modern approaches to the problem of meta-argumentation and suggests a method for developing a general conception of meta-argumentation. A set of theoretical-methodological difficulties (aporias) along this path is revealed. Overcoming these aporias would constitute the main steps toward developing the body of a theory of meta-argumentation.Keywords: argumentation, theory of argumentation, metatheory, metaargumentation, models of meta-argumentation, aporia, aporias of metaargumentation.The recent article by Hasmik Hovhannisyan in Metaphilosophy suggested an important clarification of the guidelines for the Rhodian and Platonic models of meta-argumentation, showed their areas of application, and conducted an analysis of contemporary conceptions of meta-argumentation (Hovhannisyan 2015). To further the development of a general theory of metaargumentation, in the present article we place the emphasis on the set of major difficult theoretical-methodological questions (aporias) encountered in the process of constructing a theory of meta-argumentation.One can point to three main interpretations of the term "metaargumentation" in the works of contemporary researchers:(1) Meta-argumentation as the study of models of a general theory of meta-argumentation (Brutian
The article is devoted to the analysis of university and labour market relationship. In addition to economic analysis, studying the involvement process of young people in the labour market is essential to identifying the link between higher education institutions (HEIs) and the labour market in order to assess and implement appropriate policies. This case study was conducted to discover the integration process of the classes of 2014, from three faculties of Armenian State Pedagogical University, in Armenia’s labour market. The research reveals the demand for these professions in the labour market and the pace of finding jobs. The article discusses the factors that hinder or contribute to the process of integration of young specialists in the labour market, as well as, the advantages and disadvantages of HEIs from young professionals’ perspective. Methodological recommendations and guidelines on the organisation of higher education following the labour market requirements are offered in the discussion section. It is significant to develop mechanisms for promoting employers' involvement in management offices and faculties of HEIs, to develop and fix legal norms, to improve the methodological principles and plans regarding the organisation of the practicum practices. It is proposed to expand the functions and role of career centres created in HEIs in order to establish the university's activity by the labour market requirements and to assist graduates in the labour market as well as provide continuous professional development programs and training for the teaching staff.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) complications including myocardial injury, myocarditis, arrhythmias, and venous thromboembolism. The infection is more severe in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD), where systemic inflammation due to cytokine storm, hypercoagulation, as well as high hematocrit and platelet (PLT) count may contribute to an increased CV risk. The authors hypothesize that anticoagulants and antiplatelets prevent miocardial infarction (MI) in patients with pre-existing CVD. Methods: A cohort study enrolled patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. Clinical and laboratory data, total and CV mortality, as well as MI incidence and treatment regimens were compared according to the time of hospitalization: 40-day period in April-May (Group 1) and in October-November (Group 2). Results: A total of 195 patients were enrolled: 93 in Group 1, with 36.5%, and 102 in Group 2 with 38.2% pre-existing CVD. Group 1 was managed with infusion therapy; only 10.7% received anticoagulation. Group 2 received preventive anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and infusion therapy. In Group 1, seven cases of MI were recorded compared to only three in Group 2. No significant difference in overall mortality (4.3% vs 6.86%, p = 0.441) and MI incidence (7.5% vs 2.9%, p = 0.149) was found, but significant differences were seen in the incidence of severe and critically ill cases between the groups (69.9% and 7.5% vs 75.5% and 20.6%, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Poorer outcomes in the early COVID-19 wave were associated with inadequate anticoagulation due to lack of knowledge about the new virus. Despite significantly more severe cases, there was no significant difference in overall mortality and MI incidence in patients with anticoagulation.
The research study was conducted in two stages, in 2015 and 2016 from March 15 to April 15 utilizing the method of formalized interview. Each phase of the survey involved 560 Yerevan residents.As the results of the research come to prove, the mosaic of the public perception and the psychological reflection of the phenomenon of the Armenian Genocide is very sophisticated. The moods of regret, pain, depression, declining moods, complaint, wrath, revenge, hope and optimistic views for future are intertwined and bound together. These moods and feelings appear next to each other and quickly alternating. The authors explain such change by the influence of three internal and external political factor groups.
