Theological education and theological enlightenment in modern Russia: Conceptualisation, orientation and development prospects by I. Ya. Murzina, N. A. Simbirtseva

“…It is determined that the educational paradigm is being changed today: the “return” of the religious component to education is considered as an attempt to set a new education coordinate system in the unity of horizontal (institutional) and vertical (meaning-forming) vectors. The authors define the essence of theological education in a broad (the formation of an axiological basis) and narrow (the process and result of the implementation of values in educational practice) sense. …”

One-Step Graph Fusion Fuzzy Clustering Network by Bin Tang, Zhongyang Zhou, Xuewen Liu, Feiyu Chen

“…Collectively, the GFFCN adeptly surmounts the constraints of the conventional two-step clustering methodology, facilitating the entire clustering framework to yield outcomes in a seamless end-to-end fashion, which in turn diminishes the discrepancies associated with the bifurcated clustering process. The extensive experiments conducted demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art results in six data sets and effectively enhances the determinism and balance of clustering outcomes.…”
