Sommario/riassunto

Ben Sira lived in an era when Hellenistic influences continued to spread in Palestine. The supreme political power was in the hands of foreign rulers. Under these circumstances it is no wonder that Ben Sira discusses the position of foreign nations in several passages. The tone varies due to the given context. This study demonstrates that Ben Sira's relationship to foreign nations is best defined as "balanced", as his attitude is neither thoroughly hostile nor that of uncritically embracing Gentiles. On the basis of certain passages, one can get the impression that even the foreigners could be recipients of the Torah. On the other hand, some nations were regarded by earlier biblical authors as archenemies of Israel, and these anti-elect people caused also Ben Sira's anger to be provoked. Ben Sira was deeply rooted in Judaism but this did not prevent him from being open toward foreign influences as



far as they were compatible with his religious and cultural heritage.

Sommario/riassunto

Modern complex multi-domain systems require increased efficiency, reliability and availability combined with reduced cost. This book contains papers on mathematical modeling and simulation of processes in various areas: in ecology and the environment, production and energy, information technology, samples of special purpose equipment, and cyber-physical systems. The outcomes presented in the book will be useful to specialists involved in the modeling and simulation of real-world system, management and decision-making models, production models, and software products. Scientists have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the latest research in a variety of solutions proposed by leading scientists and to determine promising directions for solving complex scientific and practical tasks. Chapters of this book contain papers presented at the 18th MODS International Conference, November 13–15, 2023, Chernihiv, Ukraine.
