description: Background. Uncertainty about climate change impacts on forests can hinder mitigation and adaptation actions. Scientific enquiry typically involves assessments of uncertainties, yet different uncertainty components emerge in different studies. Consequently, inconsistent understanding of uncertainty among different climate impact studies (from the impact analysis to implementing solutions) can be an additional reason for delaying action. In this review we (a) expanded existing uncertainty assessment frameworks into one harmonised framework for characterizing uncertainty, (b) used this framework to identify and classify uncertainties in climate change impacts studies on forests, and (c) summarised the uncertainty assessment methods applied in those studies. Methods. We systematically reviewed climate change impact studies published between 1994 and 2016. We separated these studies into those generating information about climate change impacts on forests using models –'modelling studies', and those that used this information to design management actions—'decision-making studies'. We classified uncertainty across three dimensions: nature, level, and location, which can be further categorised into specific uncertainty types. Results. We found that different uncertainties prevail in modelling versus decision-making studies. Epistemic uncertainty is the most common nature of uncertainty covered by both types of studies, whereas ambiguity plays a pronounced role only in decision-making studies. Modelling studies equally investigate all levels of uncertainty, whereas decision-making studies mainly address scenario uncertainty and recognised ignorance. Finally, the main location of uncertainty for both modelling and decision-making studies is within the driving forces—representing, e.g. socioeconomic or policy changes. The most frequently used methods to assess uncertainty are expert elicitation, sensitivity and scenario analysis, but a full suite of methods exists that seems currently underutilized. Discussion & Synthesis. The misalignment of uncertainty types addressed by modelling and decision-making studies may complicate adaptation actions early in the implementation pathway. Furthermore, these differences can be a potential barrier for communicating research findings to decision-makers.
Higher AGT Correspondences, W-algebras, and Higher Quantum Geometric Langlands Duality from M-Theory

description: We further explore the implications of our framework in [arXiv:1301.1977, arXiv:1309.4775], and physically derive, from the principle that the spacetime BPS spectra of string-dual M-theory compactifications ought to be equivalent, (i) a 5d AGT correspondence for any compact Lie group, (ii) a 5d and 6d AGT correspondence on ALE space of type ADE, and (iii) identities between the ordinary, q-deformed and elliptic affine W-algebras associated with the 4d, 5d and 6d AGT correspondence, respectively, which also define a quantum geometric Langlands duality and its higher analogs formulated by Feigin-Frenkel-Reshetikhin in [3,4]. As an offshoot, we are led to the sought-after connection between the gauge-theoretic realization of the geometric Langlands correspondence by Kapustin-Witten [5,6] and its algebraic CFT formulation by Beilinson-Drinfeld [7], where one can also understand Wilson and 't Hooft-Hecke line operators in 4d gauge theory as monodromy loop operators in 2d CFT, for example. In turn, this will allow us to argue that the higher 5d/6d analog of the geometric Langlands correspondence for simply-laced Lie (Kac-Moody) groups G (G_k), ought to relate the quantization of circle (elliptic)-valued G Hitchin systems to circle/elliptic-valued ^LG (^LG_k)-bundles over a complex curve on one hand, and the transfer matrices of a G (G_k)-type XXZ/XYZ spin chain on the other, where ^LG is the Langlands dual of G. Incidentally, the latter relation also serves as an M-theoretic realization of Nekrasov-Pestun-Shatashvili's recent result in [8], which relates the moduli space of 5d/6d supersymmetric G (G_k)-quiver SU(K_i) gauge theories to the representation theory of quantum/elliptic affine (toroidal) G-algebras.

description: This paper investigates the performance of a day-ahead explanatory model for inertia forecasting based on field data in the Nordic system, which achieves a 43% reduction in mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) against a state-of-the-art time-series forecast model. The generalizability of the explanatory model is verified by its consistent performance on Nordic and Great Britain datasets. Also, it appears that a long duration of training data is not required to obtain accurate results with this model, but taking a more spatially granular approach reduces the MAPE by 3.6%. Finally, two further model enhancements are studied considering the specific features in Nordic system: (i) a monthly interaction variable applied to the day-ahead national demand forecast feature, reducing the MAPE by up to 18%; and (ii) a feature based on the inertia from hydropower, although this has a negligible impact. The field dataset used for benchmarking is also made publicly available.

description: Climate change and deforestation have increased the risk of drought-induced forest-to-savanna transitions across the tropics and subtropics. However, the present understanding of forest-savanna transitions is generally focused on the influence of rainfall and fire regime changes, but does not take into account the adaptability of vegetation to droughts by utilizing subsoil moisture in a quantifiable metric. Using rootzone storage capacity (Sr), which is a novel metric to represent the vegetation's ability to utilize subsoil moisture storage and tree cover (TC), we analyze and quantify the occurrence of these forest-savanna transitions along transects in South America and Africa. We found forest-savanna transition thresholds to occur around a Sr of 550–750 mm for South America and 400–600 mm for Africa in the range of 30%–40% TC. Analysis of empirical and statistical patterns allowed us to classify the ecosystem's adaptability to droughts into four classes of drought coping strategies: lowly water-stressed forest (shallow roots, high TC), moderately water-stressed forest (investing in Sr, high TC), highly water-stressed forest (trade-off between investments in Sr and TC) and savanna-grassland regime (competitive rooting strategy, low TC). The insights from this study are useful for improved understanding of tropical eco-hydrological adaptation, drought coping strategies, and forest ecosystem regime shifts under future climate change.

description: Selenium (Se) is essential for human health as it is involved in various fundamental biological functions. This study aimed to assess the effects of Se enrichment in kale microgreens through biofortification in a soilless cultivation system. Two Se (as sodium selenate) application methods were assessed, including supplementation into the nutrient solution or as a foliar spray at four concentrations: 0, 10, 20 and 40 µM Se in a completely randomized design considering triplicates. For this purpose, minerals, nitrate and ammonium content, as well as fresh yield and dry matter of kale microgreens, were recorded after a 14-day growing period in an environmentally controlled vertical farm. Results showed that kale microgreens successfully accumulated up to 893.3 and 24 µg Se/ kg dry matter under the nutrient solution and foliar treatments, respectively, while yield remained unaffected. Selenium (Se) enrichment of the nutrient solution at 20 µM Se concentration resulted in the optimum treatment for fresh consumption purposes and supplying this element in human diets in the future, providing adequate dietary Se in less than five grams of the fresh kale microgreens.

description: Green Peas are nearby analogs of high-redshift Ly$α$-emitting galaxies. To probe their Ly$α$ escape, we study the spatial profiles of Ly$α$ and UV continuum emission of 24 Green Pea galaxies using the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We extract the spatial profiles of Ly$α$ emission from their 2D COS spectra, and of UV continuum from both the 2D spectra and NUV images. The Ly$α$ emission shows more extended spatial profiles than the UV continuum in most Green Peas. The deconvolved Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of the Ly$α$ spatial profile is about 2 to 4 times that of the UV continuum in most cases. Since Green Peas are analogs of high-z LAEs, it suggests that most high-z LAEs likely have larger Ly$α$ sizes than UV sizes. We also compare the spatial profiles of Ly$α$ photons at blueshifted and redshifted velocities in eight Green Peas with sufficient data quality, and find the blue wing of the Ly$α$ line has a larger spatial extent than the red wing in four Green Peas with comparatively weak blue Ly$α$ line wings. We show that Green Peas and MUSE $z=3-6$ LAEs have similar Ly$α$ and UV continuum sizes, which probably suggests starbursts in both low-z and high-z LAEs drive similar gas outflows illuminated by Ly$α$ light. Five Lyman continuum (LyC) leakers in this sample have similar Ly$α$ to UV continuum size ratios (~1.4-4.3) to the other Green Peas, indicating their LyC emission escape through ionized holes in the interstellar medium.

description: Superconducting (SC) superlattices (SL) of the epitaxial semiconductor $PbTe-PbS$/(001) $KCl$ with two-dimensional ordered misfit dislocation (MD) networks across heteroboundaries (HB) are studied, and the obtained results are compared with the corresponding data for $YBaCuO$. An analysis of the fluctuational region showed that the pairing of electrons in SL takes place at the sites of dislocation networks. In the region of SC fluctuations, the IVC derivatives of point-contacts (PC) based on SL and HTS display a metal-insulator transition associated with delocalization of carriers from the vicinity of the structural elements responsible for the emergence of SC. The critical current density in a superlattice is determined, and a mechanism is proposed for formation of excess current on the IVC of PC based on SL and HTS. The values of the energy gap $Δ_0$ at low temperatures in units of $kT_c$ are found to be anomalously large for SL and HTS. For anisotropic three-dimensional SL with a strong bond between two-dimensional SC planes, two gaps emerge from the MD. For quasi-two-dimensional SL with a weak bond between two-dimensional SC planes, the $Δ(T)$ dependence is nonmonotonic, and the fluctuation region for these SL and for HTS reveals a gap that is practically independent of temperature. The IVC derivatives of a $Cu$-SL PC reveal an oscillating structure which is restricted to an energy of $90\ meV$ and is apparently associated with the electron-phonon interaction. It is assumed that there is a similarity between the SC mechanisms in SL and HTS. pacs 73.40.Jn, 74.25.Kc, 74.45.+c, 74.50.+r., 73.40.-c, 74.78.-w, 74.78.Fk, 74.20.Mn, 74.40.+k.-n, 74.45.+c, 74.62.Dn, 74.70.Ad

description: В статье дается иллюстрация связи двух важнейших концепций богословско-философской системы протоиерея Сергия Булгакова Софии и кенозиса. Историко-аналитический экскурс развития идеи Софии с появлением в поздних работах темы Божественного кенозиса показывает внутреннюю взаимообусловленность этих масштабных учений в творчестве прот. С. Булгакова таким образом, что идея кенозиса, приложенная в первую очередь к внутритроичному Божественному бытию, в акте творения Богом мира обозначает некое бесконечное Божественное «усилие», связанное с «необходимостью любви», в результате которого София Божественная переводится в состояние становления, в модус тварного бытия. Божественный мир как бы дублируется, «отражается», сохраняя вместе с тем софийную непрерывность. В итоге кенотическая тема как своего рода «объяснение» творения Богом мира берет на себя как минимум две функции: с одной стороны, обеспечение связи Божественного бытия и сотворенного мира, с другой некоторое ослабление явно пантеистического уклона всей системы прот. Сергия.The article illustrates the relation between the two most important concepts of the theological-philosophical system of Archpriest Sergius Bulgakov: “Sophia” and “kenosis.” The historical-analytical excursion of the development of the idea of “Sophia” with the emergence of the theme of Divine kenosis in later works shows the inner interdependence of these large-scale teachings in the work of Fr. S. Bulgakov in such a way that the idea of “kenosis”, applied first of all to the life of the Holy Trinity in the act of God’s creation of the world, means some infinite Divine “effort” connected with the “necessity of love”, as a result of which the Divine Sophia is transferred into a state of becoming, into the modus of created being. The Divine world is, as it were, duplicated, “reflected,” while maintaining sophianic continuity. As a result, the kenotic theme, as a kind of “explanation” of the creation of the world by God, takes on at least two functions: on the one hand, ensuring the relation of Divine being and the created world, on the other, some weakening of the obviously pantheistic deviation of the whole system of Fr. Sergius.

description: В статье предпринята попытка произвести сравнительный богословский анализ учения о всеобщем воскресении в двух мировых религиях. Результаты этой работы в перспективе можно использовать для диалога с мусульманами и их просвещения. Актуальность избранной темы несомненна, поскольку конфронтация между мусульманским и христианским миром нарастает, и научные работы, которые могут даже в небольшой степени наладить диалог и взаимопонимание, крайне востребованы. Новизна данной работы заключается в том, что серьезных православных богословских трудов с системным сравнительным анализом эсхатологических концепций крайне мало. В данной статье для репрезентации исламского вероучения будет использован в основном текст Корана, который почитается приверженцами всех мусульманских направлений и служит основой мусульманского законодательства, как религиозного, так и гражданского. Из исламских направлений в данной статье затронуты вероучения суннитского и шиитского толка, поскольку именно их приверженцы являются в наше время самыми многочисленными, а предание данных общин наиболее древнее и авторитетное.The article attempts to make a comparative theological analysis of the doctrine of the Universal Resurrection in two world religions. The results of this work can be used during dialogue with the Muslims and for their education. The relevance of the chosen topic is clear, since the confrontation between the Muslim and Christian worldview is growing, and scholarly work that can even establish even a small window for dialogue and mutual understanding is extremely in demand. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that there are very few serious theological studies with a systematic comparative analysis of eschatological concepts. This article will mainly use the text of the Quran, which is revered by adherents of all Muslim movements and serves as the basis of Muslim legislation, both religious and civil, to represent Islamic dogma. Of the Islamic trends in this article, the creeds of the Sunni and Shiite persuasion are considered, since their supporters in our time are most numerous, and the tradition of these communities is the most ancient and authoritative.

description: We give two types of examples of the spherical mixed even-$p$-spin models for which chaos in temperature holds. These complement some known results for the spherical pure $p$-spin models and for models with Ising spins. For example, in contrast to a recent result of Subag who showed absence of chaos in temperature in the spherical pure $p$-spin models for $p\geq 3$, we show that even a smaller order perturbation induces temperature chaos.

description: Настоящая статья посвящена раскрытию учения о Пресвятой Богородице в трудах православных богословов и определению их позиции в отношении католического догмата о непорочном зачатии Девы Марии. В дореволюционный период в православном богословии активно издавалась полемическая литература, направленная на критику католической мариологии. Православные догматисты выявляли основные аспекты католического учения о Богородице, противоречащие доктрине Православной Церкви. Они подчеркивали преемственность рождения Пресвятой Богородицы от предыдущих поколений святых праотцов Иоакима и Анны. Автор статьи в хронологическом порядке исследует ряд источников по вопросу православно-догматического учения о Матери Божией, обращает внимание на отраженную в них связь учения о Богоматери с христологией. Главный аргумент, опровергающий католический догмат о непорочном зачатии Девы Марии, состоит в том, что Богоматерь не могла быть освобождена от первородного греха раньше искупительного подвига Богочеловека Иисуса Христа. На основе анализа источников дореволюционного периода показана существенная разница между Восточной и Западной Церквами в учении о Пресвятой Деве Марии.This article is devoted to an evaluation of the doctrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the writings of Orthodox theologians and the determination of their position regarding the Roman Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. During the pre-revolutionary period, polemic literature in Orthodox theology was actively published, aimed at criticizing Roman Catholic mariology. Orthodox formulations identified the main aspects of the Roman Catholic teaching about the Virgin that are contrary to the doctrines of the Orthodox Church. They emphasized the continuity of the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary from previous generations of the holy forefathers Joachim and Anna. The author of the article chronologically examines a number of sources on the issue of the Orthodox dogmatic teaching about the Mother of God and draws attention to the connection of the teaching about the Mother of God with Christology. The main argument refuting the Roman Catholic dogma of the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary is that the Mother of God could not be freed from original sin before the atoning sacrifice of the God-man Jesus Christ. Based on an analysis of the sources of the pre-revolutionary period, a significant difference between the Eastern and Western Churches in the doctrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary is shown.
The classical and the soft-killing Inverse First-Passage Time Problem: a stochastic order approach
Creators: name: Klump, Alexander
Publisher: name: Universität Paderborn
Year: 2022

description: Wir untersuchen die klassische und die sogenannte soft-killing Variante des inversen first-passage time Problems für die Brownsche Bewegung. Zu einer gegebenen Verteilung auf den positiven reellen Zahlen, besteht das inverse (soft-killing) first-passage time Problem in der Suche nach einer unbekannten Funktion, deren (soft-killing) first-passage time die zuvor gegebene Verteilung hat. Durch die Verwendung von stochastischen Ordnungsrelationen erhalten wir neue probabilistische und elementarere Ansätze für diese Probleme, die bisher meist im Zusammenhang mit partiellen Differentialgleichungen behandelt wurden. Bei dem klassischen Problem erhalten wir einerseits das bekannte Eindeutigkeitsresultat für Lösungen, erzielen aber andererseits auch neue Resultate, wie zum Beispiel ein Vergleichsprinzip und hinreichende Bedingungen für Monotonie und Lipschitzstetigkeit. Unter Anwendung dieser Resultate untersuchen wir den Spezialfall der Exponentialverteilung und andere Beispiele. Außerdem untersuchen wir ein interagierendes Teilchensystem, dessen hydrodynamischer Grenzwert bei gegebener Verteilung die Lösung des inversen first-passage time Problems findet. Für das soft-killing Problem zeigen wir eine stärkere Version des bekannten Existenz- und Eindeutigkeitsresultates für stetige Lösungen, indem wir nur die notwendige Bedingung für die Existenz annehmen und das Ergebnis auf eine allgemeinere Klasse von Markov-Prozessen erweitern.
description: We study the classical and the soft-killing variant of the inverse first-passage time problem for Brownian motion. Given a distribution on the positive real line, the (soft-killing) inverse first-passage time problem consists of asking for an unknown function, such that the (soft-killing) first-passage time of this function has the given distribution. By the use of stochastic order relations we provide new probabilistic and more elementary approaches to these problems, which were hitherto mostly tackled in the context of partial differential equations. In the classical problem, at the one hand we obtain the known uniqueness result for solutions, but on the other hand establish new results, such as a comparison principle and sufficient conditions for monotonicity and Lipschitz continuity. Using these results we study the special case of the exponential distribution and other examples. Further, given a distribution, we study an interacting particle system, whose hydrodynamic limit finds the solution of the inverse first-passage time problem. In the soft-killing problem we show a stronger version of the known existence and uniqueness result for continuous solutions, assuming only the necessary condition for existence, and extend the result to a more general class of Markov processes.

description: We review recent results on the semiclassical behaviour of Schrödinger operators with Neumann boundary conditions. In this setting, the validity of Weyl's law requires additional conditions on the potential. We will explain the techniques needed to control the number of bound states near the boundary, thus leading to universal estimates on the number of bound states.

description: A Maya stela with a hieroglyphic text and a portrayal of a Maya ruler that is now in the collections of the Linden Museum in Stuttgart, Germany (inventory no. M 30751), has received scant attention from scholars to date 1). This stela is the focus of current research by the authors as members of the project “Text Database and Dictionary of Classic Mayan”, who have been collaborating with Doris Kurella of the Linden Museum since 2018. Using the project’s 3D white light scanner, the authors created a high-resolution digital version and three-dimensional visualization of the stela in the storage facilities of the Linden Museum (Figures 1–2). Digital image processing was employed to render legible text passages that can now barely be read with the naked eye and to clarify aspects of the ruler’s representation. These developments have led to new understanding of the contents and origin of the stela, which we are presenting here in English for the first time.

description: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on ion conductors often yield rather unstructured spectra, which are hard to interpret if the relation between the actual translational motion of the mobile species and the changes of the NMR frequencies is not known. In order to facilitate a general analysis of experiments on solids with such spectra, different models for the stochastic evolution of the NMR frequencies are considered. The treated models involve random frequency jumps, diffusive evolutions, or approximately fixed frequency jumps. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectra as well as stimulated-echo functions for the study of slow and ultraslow translational dynamics are calculated for Gaussian equilibrium line shapes. The results are compared with corresponding ones from rotational models and with experimental data.

description: We propose an improved convergence analysis technique that characterizes the distributed learning paradigm of federated learning (FL) with imperfect/noisy uplink and downlink communications. Such imperfect communication scenarios arise in the practical deployment of FL in emerging communication systems and protocols. The analysis developed in this paper demonstrates, for the first time, that there is an asymmetry in the detrimental effects of uplink and downlink communications in FL. In particular, the adverse effect of the downlink noise is more severe on the convergence of FL algorithms. Using this insight, we propose improved Signal-to-Noise (SNR) control strategies that, discarding the negligible higher-order terms, lead to a similar convergence rate for FL as in the case of a perfect, noise-free communication channel while incurring significantly less power resources compared to existing solutions. In particular, we establish that to maintain the $O(\frac{1}{\sqrt{K}})$ rate of convergence like in the case of noise-free FL, we need to scale down the uplink and downlink noise by $Ω({\sqrt{k}})$ and $Ω({k})$ respectively, where $k$ denotes the communication round, $k=1,\dots, K$. Our theoretical result is further characterized by two major benefits: firstly, it does not assume the somewhat unrealistic assumption of bounded client dissimilarity, and secondly, it only requires smooth non-convex loss functions, a function class better suited for modern machine learning and deep learning models. We also perform extensive empirical analysis to verify the validity of our theoretical findings.

description: Whether Jordan's and Einstein's frame descriptions of F(R) theory of gravity are physically equivalent, is a long standing debate. However, practically none questioned on true mathematical equivalence, since classical field equations may be translated from one frame to the other following a transformation relation. Here we show that neither Noether symmetries, Noether equations, nor may quantum equations be translated from one to the other. The reason being, - conformal transformation results in a completely different system, with a different Lagrangian. Field equations match only due to the presence of diffeomorphic invariance. Unless a symmetry generator is found which involves Hamiltonian constraint equation, the mathematical equivalence between the two frames appears to be vulnerable. In any case, in quantum domain Mathematical and therefore physical equivalence can't be established.

description: Emission reduction from the coal-dominated power sector is vital for achieving China's carbon mitigation targets. Although the coal expansion has been slowed down due to the cancellation of and delay in new construction, coal-based power was responsible for over one third of China's energy-related CO2 emissions by 2018. Moreover, with a technical lifetime of over 30 years, current investment in coal-based power could hinder CO2 mitigation until 2050. Therefore, it is important to examine whether the current coal-based power planning aligns with the long-term climate targets. This paper introduces China's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) goals and an ambitious carbon budget along with global pathways well-below 2 degrees that are divided into five integrated assessment models, which are two national and three global models. We compare the models' results with bottom-up data on current capacity additions and expansion plans to examine if the NDC targets are in line with 2-degree pathways. The key findings are: 1. NDC goals alone are unlikely to lead to significant reductions in coal-based power generation. On the contrary, more plants may be built before 2030; 2. this would require an average of 187–261 TWh of annual coal-based power capacity reduction between 2030 and 2050 to achieve a 2 °C compatible trajectory, which would lead to the stranding of large-scale coal-based power plants; 3. if the reduction in coal power can be brought forward to 2020, the average annual coal-based power reduction required would be 104–155 TWh from 2020 to 2050 and the emissions could peak earlier; 4. early regulations in coal-based power would require accelerated promotion of alternatives between 2020 and 2030, with nuclear, wind and solar power expected to be the most promising alternatives. By presenting the stranding risk and viability of alternatives, we suggest that both the government and enterprises should remain cautious about making new investment in coal-based power sector.

description: В XVI веке в российском обществе обострился ряд противоречий. Внешне это выразилось в ухудшении криминогенной обстановки, остром восприятии злоупотреблений в сфере управления и суда, конкретных случаев развращения нравов. Многие злоупотребления и пороки предполагали удовлетворение частного интереса в ущерб общественному, т. е. содержат сущностный признак коррупционного правонарушения. В исследовательской литературе нет специальных исследований, посвященных выявлению конкретно-исторических форм коррупции и мер по противодействию ей в условиях XVI в. Между тем в рамках борьбы с кризисными явлениями светской властью была выдвинута и отчасти реализована широкая программа мер по противодействию коррупции, схожую программу пытались реализовать в сфере церковного управления и суда. На Соборе 1551 г. столкнулись разные подходы к пониманию причин существующих кризисных явлений и эффективной программы мер по их преодолению. Предложенные Иваном IV и наиболее радикальной частью церковных мыслителей меры противодействия коррупции были одобрены на Соборе лишь частично, что привело в итоге к консервации ряда проблем.In the 16th century, a number of contradictions intensified in Russian society, and this was expressed in the increase of the levels of crime, the acute perception of abuse in the sphere of governance and the judiciary, and specific cases of moral corruption. Many abuses and vices assumed the satisfaction of private interest to the detriment of the public, that is, they contained an essential sign of a corruption offense. There are no special studies in the scholarly literature on the identification of specific historical forms of corruption and measures to combat it in the 16th century. Meanwhile, as part of the fight against these crises, secular authorities put forward and partially implemented a broad program of anti-corruption measures; they tried to implement a similar program in the field of church administration and the judiciary. At the Council of 1551, different approaches to understanding the causes of the existing crisis phenomena and an effective program of measures to overcome them were encountered. Anti-corruption measures proposed by Ivan IV and the most radical part of church thinkers were only partially approved at the Council, which ultimately led to the conservation of a number of problems.
ФИЛОСОФСКАЯ СИСТЕМА В. Ф. ОДОЕВСКОГО 20-30-Х ГОДОВ XIX ВЕКА: ОПЫТ ЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ РЕКОНСТРУКЦИИ

description: Статья представляет собой попытку логической реконструкции системы философских взглядов одного из представителей русского шеллингианства, писателя-романтика В. Ф. Одоевского. Несмотря на принципиальную фрагментарность философского творчества Одоевского, его мышление отличала строгая систематичность, основу которой составлял пантеистический принцип всеединства бога и природы, духа и материи. На примере решения русским любомудром философских проблем истины и заблуждения, добра и зла, прекрасного и безобразного, автор показывает внутреннюю противоречивость пантеистического мировоззрения, неизменно приводившего от абсолютного единства к плюрализму, от абсолютной истины к гносеологическому и этическому релятивизму.The article is an attempt to logically reconstruct the system of philosophical views of one of the representatives of Russian schellingianism, the romantic writer V. F. Odoevsky. Despite the fundamentally fragmentary nature of Odoevsky’s philosophical works, his thinking was characterized by a strict system, the basis of which was the pantheistic principle of the unity of God and nature, spirit and matter. Using the example of this Russian lubomudr’s solution of the philosophical problems of truth and error, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, the author shows the internal contradiction of the pantheistic worldview, which invariably led from absolute unity to pluralism, from absolute truth to an epistemological and ethical relativism.

description: We develop a new large-scale hydrological and water resources model, the Community Water Model (CWatM), which can simulate hydrology both globally and regionally at different resolutions from 30 arcmin to 30 arcsec at daily time steps. CWatM is open source in the Python programming environment and has a modular structure. It uses global, freely available data in the netCDF4 file format for reading, storage, and production of data in a compact way. CWatM includes general surface and groundwater hydrological processes but also takes into account human activities, such as water use and reservoir regulation, by calculating water demands, water use, and return flows. Reservoirs and lakes are included in the model scheme. CWatM is used in the framework of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP), which compares global model outputs. The flexible model structure allows for dynamic interaction with hydro-economic and water quality models for the assessment and evaluation of water management options. Furthermore, the novelty of CWatM is its combination of state-of-the-art hydrological modeling, modular programming, an online user manual and automatic source code documentation, global and regional assessments at different spatial resolutions, and a potential community to add to, change, and expand the open-source project. CWatM also strives to build a community learning environment which is able to freely use an open-source hydrological model and flexible coupling possibilities to other sectoral models, such as energy and agriculture.

description: В статье рассматриваются основные линии рецепции богословия свт. Григория Паламы в софиологии прот. С. Н. Булгакова и выявляется характер и границы применения паламитского дискурса в софиологической концепции С. Н. Булгакова в зависимости от этапов развития его богословской мысли. Показано, что богословие свт. Григория Паламы постепенно приобретает все большее значение для концептуальной структуры софиологии С. Н. Булгакова, что находит отражение в изменении способа определения Софии. В изначальный платонический язык софиологии постепенно вносятся коррективы в паламитском «энергийном» ключе. Однако полного перехода с платонического на паламитский философский язык не происходит; период сближения с паламизом сменяется у С. Н. Булгакова периодом отдаления и критической дистанции. Заключительный отказ прот. С. Н. Булгакова в своей софиологической концепции следовать логике паламизма связан с несовместимостью онтологической диспозиции, заданной им в его троичном богословии, с основополагающим богословским тезисом свт. Григория Паламы об отличии нетварной энергии от Божественной сущности.The article discusses the main avenues of reception of the theology of Gregory Palamas in the sophiology of Sergei Bulgakov and reveals the nature and boundaries of the application of the Palamite discourse in the sophiological conception depending on the stage of development of theological thought of Sergei Bulgakov. It is shown that the theology of Gregory Palamas gradually became increasingly more important for the conceptual structure of the sophiology of Sergei Bulgakov, which is reflected in a change in the way that Sophia was defined. To the original platonic language of sophiology, corrections were gradually introduced in the spirit of the Palamite “energy” definition. Sergei Bulgakov’s final refusal in his sophiological conception to follow the logic of palamism is connected with the incompatibility of the ontological disposition given by him in his theology of the Trinity with the fundamental theological thesis of Gregory Palamas on the difference between uncreated energy and divine essence.
