Contrasting growth, physiological and gene expression responses of Clematis crassifolia and Clematis cadmia to different irradiance conditions
Authors: Ma Xiaohua , Qian Renjuan , Zhang Xule , Hu Qingdi , Liu Hongjian , Zheng Jian
Published: November 2019

Clematis crassifolia and Clematis cadmia Buch.-Ham. ex Hook.f. & Thomson are herbaceous vine plants native to China. C. crassifolia is distributed in shaded areas, while C. cadmia mostly grows in bright, sunny conditions in mountainous and hilly landscapes. To understand the potential mechanisms involved in the irradiance responses of C. crassifolia and C. cadmia, we conducted a pot experiment under three irradiance treatments with natural irradiation and two different levels of shading. Various growth, photosynthetic, oxidative and antioxidative parameters and the relative expression of irradiance-related genes were examined. In total, 15 unigenes were selected for the analysis of gene expression. The exposure of C. crassifolia to high irradiance resulted in growth inhibition coupled with increased levels of chlorophyll, increased catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase activity and increased expression of c144262_g2, c138393_g1 and c131300_g2. In contrast, under high irradiance conditions, C. cadmia showed an increase in growth and soluble protein content accompanied by a decrease in the expression of c144262_g2, c133872_g1, and c142530_g1, suggesting their role in the acclimation of C. cadmia to a high-irradiance environment. The 15 unigenes were differentially expressed in C. crassifolia and C. cadmia under different irradiance conditions. Thus, our study revealed that there are essential differences in the irradiance adaptations of C. crassifolia and C. cadmia due to the differential physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying their irradiance responses, which result from their long-term evolution in contrasting habitats.

Authors: Nakamizo Akira , Amano Toshiyuki , Kuwashiro Takahiro , Yasaka Masahiro , Okada Yasushi
Published: November 2019

Chronic kidney disease and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) are associated with cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to assess the correlations between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or WMH and cognitive function in patients who have undergone carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Cognitive functions were investigated using the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination (Cognistat) in 83 patients who had undergone CEA. The eGFR at 5 years prior to examination was significantly associated with severe cognitive impairment (odds ratio, 0.89 per 1-mL/min/1.73 m2 increase, 95% confidence interval 0.82–0.97, p = 0.0004). Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that a cutoff eGFR of 46.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 5 years prior to examination offered the most reliable predictor of severe cognitive impairment (sensitivity 88.9%, specificity 76.5%, area under the curve 0.848). The eGFR at 5 years prior to examination showed a significant linear association with total Cognistat score (r2 = 0.11035, p = 0.0032) compared to eGFR at 3 years prior to examination (r2 = 0.06455, p = 0.0230) or at examination (r2 = 0.0210, p = 0.0210). Spearman’s correlation coefficient revealed that orientation, comprehension, repetition, construction, memory, and similarity correlated with eGFR at 5 years prior to examination. Conversely, Fazekas grade for deep WMH at examination was associated with total Cognistat score (p = 0.0016), unlike that at 3 years (p = 0.0100) or 5 years prior to examination (p = 0.0172). While eGFR correlates with future cognitive function, deep WMH associates with present cognitive function in patients who have undergone CEA.

Mechanisms linking adipose tissue inflammation to cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis
Authors: Anthony Sarah R. , Guarnieri Adrienne R. , Gozdiff Anamarie , Helsley Robert N. , Phillip Owens Albert , Tranter Michael
Published: November 2019

Adipose tissue is classically recognized as the primary site of lipid storage, but in recent years has garnered appreciation for its broad role as an endocrine organ comprising multiple cell types whose collective secretome, termed as adipokines, is highly interdependent on metabolic homeostasis and inflammatory state. Anatomical location (e.g. visceral, subcutaneous, epicardial etc) and cellular composition of adipose tissue (e.g. white, beige, and brown adipocytes, macrophages etc.) also plays a critical role in determining its response to metabolic state, the resulting secretome, and its potential impact on remote tissues. Compared with other tissues, the heart has an extremely high and constant demand for energy generation, of which most is derived from oxidation of fatty acids. Availability of this fatty acid fuel source is dependent on adipose tissue, but evidence is mounting that adipose tissue plays a much broader role in cardiovascular physiology. In this review, we discuss the impact of the brown, subcutaneous, and visceral white, perivascular (PVAT), and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) secretome on the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD), with a particular focus on cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis.
Hybrid higher‐order total variation model for multiplicative noise removal
Authors: Liu Pengfei
Published: November 2019

As an important, challenging, and difficult problem in image processing, multiplicative noise removal (MNR) has attracted great attention. To this end, many variational methods have been effectively proposed in the past few decades. Among these variational methods, total variation (TV) and its higher‐order extensions are very effective, where the former can preserve sharp edges but cause some undesirable staircase effects and the latter can better reduce the staircase effects but sometimes smooth the image details. To overcome the drawbacks while taking full use of their merits, the authors propose a novel hybrid higher‐order TV regularisation model for MNR, in which the novelty of the proposed model consists of combining the image prior information of first‐order and second‐order derivatives to propose a novel higher‐order regulariser, named as hybrid higher‐order TV (HHTV). More specifically, a more preferable equivalent formulation of HHTV is derived. Then, they use the derived equivalent formulation to design an efficient alternating iterative algorithm to solve the proposed model. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HHTV method outperforms several state‐of‐the‐art methods in terms of image quality and convergence speed.
Enhanced image no‐reference quality assessment based on colour space distribution
Authors: Liu Hao , Li Ce , Zhang Dong , Zhou Yannan , Du Shaoyi
Published: November 2019

In this study, the authors investigate the problem of enhanced image no‐reference (NR) quality assessment. For resolving the problem of the enhanced images, it is difficult to obtain reference images, this study proposes an NR image quality assessment (IQA) model based on colour space distribution. Given an enhanced image, our method first uses a gist to select a clear target image in which the scene, colour and quality are similar to the hypothetical reference images. And then, the colour transfer is used between the input images and target images to construct the reference image. Next, the appropriate IQA method is used to assess enhanced image quality. The absolute colour difference and feature similarity (FSIM) are used to measure the colour and grey‐scale image quality, respectively. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is good at evaluating enhanced image quality for X‐ray, dust, underwater and low‐light images. The experimental results are consistent with human subjective evaluation and achieve good assessment effects.

Authors: Guo Yanhui , Rothfus Thomas A. , Ashour Amira S. , Si Lei , Du Chunlai , Ting Tih‐Fen
Published: November 2019

A varied channels region proposal and classification network (VCRPCN) is developed based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and the characteristics of the animals appearing for automatic wildlife animal classification in camera trapped images, the architecture of the network is improved by feeding different channels into different components of the network to accomplish different aims, i.e. the animal images and their background images are employed in the region proposal component to extract region candidates for the animal's location, and the animal images combined with the region candidates are fed into the classification component to identify their categories. This novel architecture considers changes to the image due to the animals' appearances, and identifies potential animal regions in images and extracts their local features to describe and classify them. Five hundred low contrast animal images have been collected. All images have low contrast due to being acquired during the night. Cross‐validation is employed to statistically measure the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that in comparison with the well‐known object detection network, faster R‐CNN, the proposed VCRPCN achieved higher accuracy with the same dataset and training configuration with an average accuracy improvement of 21%.
Dual‐polarised high‐gain triple‐band differential antenna for WLAN and Sub‐6 GHz 5G applications
Authors: Jin Guiping , Zeng Guangjie , Yang Ju , Xu Yechun , Liao Shaowei
Published: November 2019

A new dual‐polarised high‐gain triple‐band differential‐fed antenna is proposed in this study. The antenna adopts a differential feeding scheme, in which a high‐frequency radiator for 3.5 GHz Sub‐6 GHz 5G band and 5 GHz WLAN band, and two pairs of low‐frequency radiators for 2.45 GHz WLAN band are effectively combined to obtain multiband operation. To filter out unwanted frequency band, four half‐wavelength slots are introduced to generate a notch band between 3.8 and 4.8 GHz. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna achieves 10‐dB impedance bandwidths of 2.37–2.61 GHz for the low‐frequency band, 3.27–3.76 GHz for the intermediate frequency band, and 4.87–5.98 GHz for the high‐frequency band. The gains of the antenna are all above 8.0 dBi for all the three bands. The antenna exhibits a good directivity and low cross‐polarisation level (below −20 dB); thus it is a good candidate for WLAN and Sub‐6 GHz 5G wireless access point systems.

Authors: Yang Yong , Bai Yang , Wu Jia‐Ni , Wang Xue‐Song
Published: November 2019

The characteristics of the radar returns for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are useful for radar detection and classification of the UAV. In this study, the authors carried out an experiment in an anechoic chamber to measure the fully polarimetric echoes of a fixed‐wing UAV in X‐band. With the measured data, they analysed the distribution of the radar cross‐section of the UAV. They also analysed the distributions of the phases and polarisation ratios of the UAV returns in various polarisation modes. They found that the radar cross‐sections of the fixed‐wing UAV in HH and VV polarisation modes obey lognormal distribution. The radar cross‐sections of the UAV in VH and HV polarisation modes obey Weibull distribution. The means of the radar cross‐section in co‐polarisation modes are 8–10 dBsm higher than those in cross‐polarisation modes. The phases of the UAV echo in HH, HV, VH and VV polarisation modes are uniformly distributed within 0 and 2π. The amplitudes of the polarisation ratios of the UAV echo are well fitted by lognormal distribution.

Authors: Kopytov Aleksandr , Pershin Vladimir
Published: November 2019

The methodological basis for the development of a multi-factor digital model for selecting efficient and safe mine working support for given mining and geological conditions on the basis of the assessment of rock mass stability conditions depending on its fracturing and stress state when mining iron ore deposits of Gornaya Shoria is presented. The need to solve fundamentally new problems related to the application of various types of support systems is due to the changeover of mines to ore mining at great depths and classifying deposits as liable to rock-bumps. It is a very important factor, because a decrease in the stability of workings is associated with a high level of stresses in the deep levels being worked out, increased by bearing pressure, which ultimately leads to an increase in the cost of maintaining them. The developed multi-factor digital model “EvrazrudaKrep”, which is based on the results of the analysis of guidelines and instructions of the institutes such as All-Russian Research Institute of Mining Geomechanics and Survey, East Research Institute of Ore Mining, Mining Institute of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Science, T.F. Gorbachev Kuzbass State Technical University, as well as the mine working support experience in Russia and abroad, allows to quickly solve the problem of choosing a support and improving mining safety in complex mining and geological conditions.

Published: November 2019

Traditionally, in any country, mining industry is a strategic sector of the economy, for the development of which a large amount of resources necessary for the production of modern mining equipment, machinery and mechanisms are allocated. In recent years, a steady trend of technical re-equipment of mining enterprises is noted. This measure allows improving labor productivity and increasing the depth of mining due to the modernization of the existing mining equipment and the introduction of the new one; key attention being paid to the quality and reliability of the equipment produced. The current situation of the domestic mining machinery manufacturing market clearly demonstrates a strong dependence on foreign suppliers. In this case, a competent approach to the issues of import substitution in the industry, providing for the development and production of competitive domestic mining equipment that meets all the requirements and expectations of consumers, is urgently needed. As a rule, manufacturers of mining equipment use the entire machinery manufacturing cycle, ranging from blanking and to product assembly. At all stages of manufacturing, it is necessary to follow part processing technology, providing for the assurance of the required surface roughness, surface layer properties and other quality indicators. All this can be provided by a promising method of part processing – tumbling.
Revitalization of Coal Brownfields in Solving Environmental Problems and Structural Development of Kuzbass Economy
Authors: Zhironkin Vitaly , Janocko Juraj
Published: November 2019

The life cycle of mines lasts from several years to several decades. The closure of the mine occurs when its recourses are completely extracted, or mining is no longer profitable within its leasehold. Most regulatory authorities all around the world require the plan of mines and open-pits closure even before the mining begins, as it must be determined that the site would not pose a threat to the environment or society in future. Depending on the location, the site of mine or open-pit may be used in alternative way after closure or restored to the pre-operational condition. Local authorities increasingly require financial assurance that the funds needed to close mining enterprises will also be available in emergency situations. Special attention is paid to the environmental insurance intended to limit liability related to pollution elimination after mining activities at abandoned fields are over. In close connection with environmental insurance is post-mining – the development of alternative use of mining sites after the closure of mines and open-pits.
Mechanisms for Harmonizing the Sustainable Development of Kuzbass as a Resource Region
Authors: Fridman Yuri , Loginova Ekaterina , Rechko Galina
Published: November 2019

The article views the problems related to harmonizing the development of a resource area. Kemerovo Oblast – Kuzbass is selected as the object of this study. We point out that, in the absence of consensus between authorities and business concerning the prospective development of the region, its economy may decay even despite obvious success in the fundamental industry, namely coal mining. It is strategically important for Kuzbass to create an efficient infrastructure for transforming the development of the coal industry into the economy-wide development of the region. Taking into account best international harmonization practices, we propose a conceptual system of mechanisms aimed at coordinating the interests of the commodity-driven business and the resource area built on the ‘common grounds’ shared by the coal industry and Kemerovo Oblast. The concept in question relies on the need to introduce business models to the industry management that would harmonize with the interests of the territory. At the same time, the territory should start to build a new economy by creating new standards that would establish requirements for doing business.

Electronic industry is the basis for the growth of industrial production in ASEAN countries, and represents the main lever of economic development when the region moves up to higher added value using modern technological solutions. At the same time, modern environmental imperatives require the electronics industry to make a significant contribution to reducing environmental stress and lowering energy consumption. This contribution is the production of energy-saving devices. Viet Nam’s modern industry is increasing the production of electronic energy-saving devices, but still has problems, such as low added value, spontaneous structure, import dependence in production, lack of unified state administration, and the quality of training of labor resources. In the framework of this article, the authors investigated the state of the electronic industry in Viet Nam by analyzing its successes and shortcomings in recent years compared with the countries of Southeast Asia. The authors’ proposals as the results of the study can be recommended for further development of a policy for the progress of energy-saving production in the electronic industry of Viet Nam and an import substitution program in the country’s industry as a whole for a new period.
Methodology of creative work: transformation structure
Authors: Eroshenko Tatiana , Fedoseenkov Aleksandr , Sorokin Gennadiy , Malyshev Aleksandr
Published: November 2019

The authors consider the phenomenon of transformation of methodological strategies of social cognition, which in theory reflects the grounds of self-preservation and self-replication of social and anthropological reality. The article underlines that at present time social cognition tools are going through a renewal that is dynamic and subject to theoretical and methodological changes. The emphasis is shifting from research of the general social level toward individuality, subjectivity, spontaneity and cultural uniqueness of fractals of social existence. They observe the danger in creation of social reality, if it is not guided by organic unity of knowledge and morality. From our point of view, morality is a systemic factor of social reality, because as high as social barriers in modern world may be, universal values do exist and preserve and they are exactly the things that give human society an opportunity to survive on a global scale.
Technocratic ideology in the dessauer`s philosophy of technology
Authors: Nesterov Aleksandr , Azimli Aziz
Published: November 2019

This article discusses the relationship between technocratic and the philosophy of technology concepts. Both of these areas of socio-philosophical thought have a significant number of parallels in their development. They grew up on the basic principles that were derived in the era of antiquity. Later on in the 19th century those concepts became more acceptable, because of the scientific and technological progress. In 20th century those approaches finally formed the philosophical discourse. There are a great number of philosophers and scientists study technocracy and philosophy of technology but in our research we make references to T.Veblen, who studied the technocracy and F.Dessauer, who was German philosopher and his area of interests was philosophy of technology. The Veblen`s and Dessauer`s ideas of technology development and its role in the society life are analyzed in the article. And in addition to that we analyze the role of engineers and managers in the manufacturing and administrating evolution. As for the result of the research that has been made it is necessary to say that the ideas of two scientists remain relevant for the times where technocratic concepts exist.
The concept of “chaos measure” in the aspect of social synergetics
Authors: Busov Sergey , Zobova Maria , Rodukov Alexey
Published: November 2019

We understand chaos as a bifurcation process, the quantitative characteristic of which is reduced to the number of possibilities for the further evolution of the system, which in real time is directly expressed by self-oscillations of chaos and order (bifurcation cascade). The questions are being investigated: the scientific correctness of such formulations as ―chaos measure‖, ―evolution of chaos‖, correlation of the concepts ―measure of chaos‖ and ―magnitude of entropy‖; does the concept of ―measure of chaos‖ correlate with the concept of entropy; how the concepts of ―measure of chaos‖ and ―measure of order‖ relate, and is it possible to ―control‖ chaos? Models that study the evolution of open systems provide a bifurcation picture of development opportunities in at least two directions: complication and simplification, progress and regression, hierarchization of systems and their de-hierarchization, where a quantitative measure of chaos corresponds to the number of possible outcomes. The conclusion drawn from this is that human influence on the vector of the evolutionary process is reduced to a deliberate impact on the structure, which is commonly called the norm: an individual is able to comprehend the "measure of chaos" of the system of which he is an element, correlate it with the "measure of order" of the system and, setting the norm, thereby determine the direction to the superattractor.

The territory of the Northern Caspian region is represented by three regions: the Republic of Kalmyk, Astrakhan Region and the Republic of Kazakhstan (Atyrau Region). The Protestant associations are most concentrated in Astrakhan Region; therefore, in this case it is more appropriate to consider this territory. The main goal of the work is to identify the specifics of Protestant network associations in Astrakhan region, as well as the analysis of their proselytistic activity. The main methodology of the study is the content analysis of regional sites of Protestant religious associations, and groups in social networks, as well as the analysis of expert interviews with the pastor of one of the Protestant churches.
Media memory in the digital world
Authors: Artamonov Denis , Volovikova Marina , Tikhonova Sophia
Published: November 2019

The article analyses how historical memory is being formed in the modern digital realm. The authors show the emergence of a new form of historical memory, characteristic of the digital era, which we call "media memory". Using the methodology historical epistemology, media philosophy and memory studies, the authors demonstrate the change in production and replication of knowledge about the past due to the spread of digital media. The distinctive features of "media memory" are: massive non-professional production of historical content, democratic character, speed, subjectivity and emotional intensity. These features are associated with the combination of prosuming and crowdsourcing, which increase the activity of history lovers and non-professional volunteers in social media. Considering the largest historical digital projects, which have brought together the efforts of millions of history lovers, the article comes to the conclusion that academic historians are losing the monopoly on the production of historical knowledge, while the latter is being turned into digital form, with the widespread participation of ordinary people in the production of such content.
The idea of humanism and socio-cultural bases of leges permissivae of Russian labor law
Authors: Lada Alexey , Markov Sergey
Published: November 2019

The philosophy of labor law in Russia is only being formed. This is evidenced by only a few philosophical studies on certain aspects of labor law, and the task is to create a new paradigm of Russian labor law on the basis of the ideals of humanism and Enlightenment in order to harmonize it with international labor law standards. The new metaphysics is the overcoming of Cartesian (ontological) dualism in labor law, represented by the counter-narrativeness of the employee and employer, as well as the dominance of its subjects (in particular, this concerns gender prohibitive norms). Thanks to the new metaphysics and its methods, the philosophy of labor law goes beyond the limits of objectivity to the existing (being) of modern labor relations. In their studies, the authors show the influence of philosophical (metaphysical) ideas on the creation and development of the “permissible” (leges permissivae) of Russian labor law. In particular, the studies propose an interpretation of the metaphysical (subjective law) and applied value of the labor law principles on examples of the philosophical moral and legal ideas implementation in the norms of labor law and in the further creation of a leges permissivae policy of labor law.

Authors: Papchenko Elena , Bazhenov Ruslan , Bestaeva Emma , Bogatenkov Sergey
Published: November 2019

The paper is related to viewing the genesis and prospects for the development of one of the most important branches of philosophy - the philosophy of technology. The authors begin their survey with the time when a grounding of the philosophy of technology was given, i.e. when technology became comprehensible in terms of a philosophical and philosophical point of view until such extended studies concerned to the technology that developed into one of the most dominating factors in social development. It is reported that exact antipodes of opinion were made up in the classical philosophy of technology. Criticism of technology lasted long till its sacral significance and understanding technological reality requirements. Finally, it culminated in creating various approaches to study technology: engineering, humanitarian, social and philosophical. However, a pragmatic approach to the technology observation and development outcomes developed gradually. The paper comes to the point that contemporary philosophy of technology is harmonious and holistic in nature.
The phenomenon of translation of sacral texts in modern Christian discourse
Authors: Beilin Mikhail , Semenova Yuliia , Petrusenko Nina , Chervona Svetlana
Published: November 2019

The features of the translation of the biblical text, which always loses and distorts the essence of the original, are analyzed, introducing national, linguistic, cultural and religious features into the translated text. It was found that the content-axiological basis for the formation of national traditions of biblical translation is the emergence of many cultural and religious semantic universes that contradict each other and the original Hebrew and Greek texts and their hermeneutical traditions. The national tradition of biblical translation is far from being formed in every Christian country; its presence is an indicator of the spiritual maturity of a nation. The conditions for its formation are the developed writing and the national literary tradition; powerful national confessional structure with the presence of theological centers; development of translation work (traditions of translation and linguistic schools).
The issue of forming a modern young person’s worldview: a cultural philosophical analysis
Authors: Betilmerzaeva Maret
Published: November 2019

At the intersection of various trends, the displacement of cultures and ideologies in modern Chechen society, there is a wide range of social polymorphism when individuals who practically represent one ethnic culture, depending on the social environment, acquire various phenotypic forms due to the interaction of the genotype with the environment. A classification of cultural trends is proposed, within the framework of which the worldview of the modern young Chechen in the Republic is being formed. The simultaneous coexistence of such different trends with the active interaction of their actors introduces transgressive changes in the consciousness of that part of young people with a problematic level of psychological and social adaptability to a changing world. The conducted analysis shows that in the process of forming the worldview of a modern young person a consciousness must be developed that adequately reflects objective reality in a subjective picture of the world based on healthy social interaction.
The image of a Christian in Sidonius Apollinaris’ letters
Authors: Litovchenko Elena , Kutomanov Sergey , Ryabtseva Marina , Onoprienko Inna
Published: November 2019

The paper deals with the collective image of a Christian reconstructed by comparing several portraits described in the 5th century Gallo-Roman writer’s epistles and verses Sidonius Apollinaris. This source was chosen due to the fact that Sidonius himself combined the features inherent for both the representative of the highest social stratum of the Late Antique society and for the Christian shepherd. The method of cultural and historical reconstruction with combination of biographical and retrospective methods is used for the formation of the image of a Christian of the Late Antiquity. The authors come to the conclusion that during the 5th century AD as a true Christian was deemed such person who observes the biblical commandments and church rites, distinguished by patience and mercy. The image of a Christian evolved in this period from the weakly expressed version presented by Germanicus, a man for whom, more important the ancient cult of the body, despite belonging to Christian flock, to the ideal, seeking to asceticism, who embodied the bishop Faustus.
Socio-cultural transformation as a systemic phenomenon in cultural dynamics
Authors: Tarasov Aleksey , Belyaev Dmitry , Pogorelova Inga
Published: November 2019

The paper reveals peculiarities of transition periods in cultural dynamics. These processes are analysed by using the example of the continuum of European (as of the 19th c. – Euro-Atlantic) culture. The end of transition periods which are defined by the concept of “socio-cultural transformation” marks the beginning of progressive evolution of culture – the stage determined by the notion of “culture system”. The study singles out four stages of socio-cultural transformations in the continuum of European culture (late Hellenism, the Renaissance, the avant-garde, and postmodernity) as well as four culture systems (ancient, mediaeval, neo-European, and modern). The paper concludes that characterising socio-cultural transformations makes it possible to determine a concrete set of their features. These features are defined by the concept of “culturally dominant characteristics”. Various stages of socio-cultural transformations generally display the same set of such characteristics, the latter manifesting themselves with varying degrees of intensity, whereas the set of culturally dominant characteristics reflecting the essence of culture systems is different. The research resulted in singling out the following culturally dominant characteristics of socio-cultural transformations: relativism, pluralism, eclecticism, skepticism, gamification, as well as a break with the preceding cultural tradition. The research raises the problem of extending the application of the aforementioned regularities to the cultural dynamics of other civilisations.
The hermeneutic meanings of love in Russian culture of the first half of the 19th century
Authors: Lipich Tamara , Lipich Vasiliy , Danilova Elena
Published: November 2019

Addressing the problems of philosophical hermeneutics is determined by the need to reconstruct the theme of love in Russian culture in the first half of the XIX century. Russian romantics in their comprehension of love focused their attention on the spiritual component. For European romanticism, sensual love acquired a sacred meaning. Moreover, the understanding and interpretation of love by German romantic authors gradually turned into gender equality issues, women’s emancipation and liberation. F. Schlegel believed there was no difference between a man’s and a woman’s mission. Each epoch leaves its imprint and offers specific meanings for further generations to understand and interpret. Love is always a driving force for human activity and socialization. This is why our contemporaries should be able to analyze Romantic literature and philosophy which gave birth to the philosophy of love reflecting the cultural specifics and national identity.
Cultural conditionality of understanding in social hermeneutics
Authors: Pazina Liudmila
Published: November 2019

Social hermeneutics is a young, emerging branch of philosophy associated with problems of understanding social actions. Since any social action is aimed at transforming the human world, our present, future and past, understanding its motives and goals is of practical importance for each person and humanity as a whole. A social action always has a cultural-historical context. Understanding the motive and the meaning of the social action is impossible outside the language system that determines it and the culture of a particular nation.
Antirealism of new reality or art against personality: with the eyes of the philosophy
Authors: Matveeva Alla , Krasnov Roman , Atmanskykh Elena , Bannykh Stanislav
Published: November 2019

In the article, the authors provide an assessment of the modernism art, cultivated for decades, in terms of the possibilities of its social and ideological influence. It is argued that the ideologists of the bourgeoisie had to admit that Western art culture was at an impasse. The article analyzes the works of philosophers and artists, such as: Lenin, Schwartz, Nietzsche, Brooke, Leist, Meyer, Reed, Bergson, Lauterbach, Huxley, Weir, etc. Among the many concepts - the theory of "cultural circles", "cultural lag" and "cultural traditions"; Theory of Art Evolution - Professor Munroe; theory of social and cultural dynamics P. Sorokin and others. However, none of these theories could put forward any significant, practically effective ideas that could breathe life into bourgeois art. Summing up the results of more than half a century of the modernism art, we can say that it did not enrich the artistic culture. Starting with contrasting itself with traditional art in a philosophical, theoretical and aesthetic sense, modernism fell outside the scope of art itself due to the absurdity of its practice. The authors believe that in search of a way out of the impasse, bourgeois scholars could not escape from "anti-realism" and art was against the individual. The path traveled by modernist art proves the futility of bourgeois art culture in the first half of the twentieth century, but does not deny its revival in the XXI century.
Constructive realism: advantages of ontology and methodology

Published: November 2019

This article attempts to reveal and analyse the advantages of constructive realism as a methodological framework of contemporary science. Comparing realism and constructivism as two divergent positions in epistemology in their extreme forms, we mention their downsides. These are the epistemological component for extreme realism and the ontological component for radical constructivism. We indicate that the concept of our study is characterized with the best balance of ontology and gnoseology and it allows overcoming ontological and epistemological difficulties associated with constructivism and realism correspondingly. We conclude that constructive realism may facilitate the development of the scientific worldview pertinent to modern knowledge and ready to respond the inherent methodological challenges that science faces.

The sacral nature of knowledge: descriptors of scientific thinking
Authors: Panychik Aleksandr , Fedoseenkov Aleksandr
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the process of transformation of scientific forms of classical knowledge. In accordance with the positivist approach, the emergence of classical science fits into the tendency of transition of mankind from myth to logos by purifying pre-scientific knowledge from prejudices, inaccuracies and “unspelling the world.” The traditionalist view of Guenon R., Evola G., Dugin A.G. explains scientific knowledge through the emergence of experimental and mathematical natural science, the main feature of which is the laws of logical sequence. The main epistemological forms determine the criteria and the main line of modern scientific development, but, at the same time, they can be one of the most important causes of the crisis of modern civilization. In addition to the first two, there is a third epistemological approach that, in particular, is developed by N.N. Strakhov and Steiner R. and it includes signs of both approaches. On the one hand, it involves a revolutionary alteration of the image of nature - from a holistic living organism to a mechanism necessary for further development. Here, one can see solidarity with positivists, but it is not the highest stage in the development of cognition of nature; this shows the main disagreement with the positivist point of view. Acquaintance with an alternative approach makes it possible to understand the process of dividing modern natural science into official and alternative science, to develop a strategy for solving global anthropological problems.

Published: November 2019

Die Nutzung von Videomaterial in der klinischen Supervision ist ein altes, aber immer noch wenig genutztes Konzept in der Ausbildung von PsychotherapeutInnen – häufig aufgrund anfänglicher Skepsis und diverser Befürchtungen. Welche Chancen und Grenzen diese Methode bereithält und wie Videomaterial die therapeutischen Kompetenzen eines angehenden Psychotherapeuten beeinflussen kann, wird in diesem Beitrag skizziert.
