Notes on the History and Development of Visual Research Methods
Creators: name: Schnettler, Bernt
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: Visual research has been gaining in importance in recent years. This can be seen most clearly in those methods that rely on various forms of visual representation and using photographs, films, or videos as main sources of data. While opening the door to a deeper understanding and interpretation of social realities, visual analysis continues to deliver methodological challenge to the social sciences. This article sheds light on the development of visual analysis and focuses on its relevance for social research. Starting with its first applications following the invention of still and moving cameras, it traces this development up to the current use of audio-visual digital camera technologies in social research, which has made the most noticeable theoretical and methodological progress in the social sciences in the fields of videography and interpretive video analysis.

The Factual Treatment of Actuality: The Emergence of Educational Film in the 1920s and its Relation to Documentary Film Proper
Creators: name: Ahnert, Laurel E.
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: This paper looks at the relatively unexamined relationship between so-called educational films of the 1920s and films of the 1930s American and British Documentary Film Movement, which includes such canonized works as The City (Ralph Steiner and Willard Van Dyke, 1939) and The Plough That Broke the Plains (Pare Lorentz, 1936). Rather than seeing a historical break between nonfiction films of the pre- and post-sound era, this paper argues that the 1920s served as a kind of gestational period for the renaissance of documentary films that would occur during the 1930s and 1940s. It is the discursive, institutional, and exhibition contexts of early educational film that establishes the foundation for later documentaries, while simultaneously allowing for slippages in how society understood the changing purpose and possibilities of cinema during the period. To make this argument, this paper uses as its primary case study a series of films made in the early 1920s that were produced through a partnership between the Illinois state government and the dairy industry and exhibited in a range of venues from state fairs to classrooms. These films demonstrate the fluidity between early, simple educational films and their supposedly more complex descendants lauded by the film studies discipline.

Documentary Film in Media Transformation
Creators: name: Weber, Thomas
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: My contribution focuses on the difficulty of defining and classifying the various forms of the documentary film in different media environments. My argument consists of three central points: 1. An essentialist definition of the documentary (for example as the opposite of fictional film) leads us into a trap, as this kind of definition is closely linked to the idea of an inherent structure underlying all documentary films. Hence, this creates misunderstandings, or insufficient notions such as »hybridization.« 2. In the theoretical discourse on documentary film, we can observe a shift from essentialist definitions to observations of procedures of reading, producing or even distributing the documentary. These procedures also mark a difference to fictional genres. 3. The central criterion for the documentary is the stability of its reference to reality. Therefore, the most obvious way to classify the different forms of documentary films is an analysis of the variance of this stability due to the play of various actors in different milieus.

description: The process of recombination in population genetics, in its deterministic limit, leads to a nonlinear ODE in the Banach space of finite measures on a locally compact product space. It has an embedding into a larger family of nonlinear ODEs that permits a systematic analysis with lattice-theoretic methods for general partitions of finite sets. We discuss this type of system, reduce it to an equivalent finite-dimensional nonlinear problem, and establish a connection with an ancestral partitioning process, backward in time. We solve the finite-dimensional problem recursively for generic sets of parameters and briefly discuss the singular cases, and how to extend the solution to this situation.

Postcolonial Historiography in the Essay Film: >De-Colonizing< Sound and Image
Creators: name: Seider, Tanja
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: Documentary films that are based on audio and visual recordings made in the era of colonialism face the problem of ‘de-colonizing’ the material. That is to say, how can such material be used without reproducing its stereotypical portrayal of the colonized? This work discusses an intriguing approach to this problem that was applied in a recent essay film, The Halfmoon Files (Scheffner 2007). An essay film is a form of documentary film that contains the filmmaker’s personal commentary on the subject, and often blends fiction and experimental filmmaking with a traditional documentary style. Based on the analysis of The Halfmoon Files, the present work discusses possibilities of the essay film to apply a postcolonial approach to audio/visual material that was produced in colonialist times.

description: Detection efficiency loophole poses a significant problem for experimental tests of Bell inequalities. Recently discovered Pusey-Barrett-Rudolph (PBR) theorem suffers from the same vulnerability. In this paper we calculate the critical detection efficiency, below which the PBR argument for the ontic nature of quantum state is inconclusive. This is done for the maximally $ψ$-epistemic models. We use two different definitions of this property. The optimal number of parties, for which the critical detection efficiency is the lowest is given. We also approach the problem from the opposite direction. We provide a function which enables us to specify which epistemic models are ruled out by the results of an experiment with a given detection efficiency.

description: In this paper, we take into account the black hole solutions of Einstein gravity with logarithmic and exponential forms of nonlinear electrodynamics. We consider $Λ$ as a dynamical pressure to study the analogy of the black holes with the Van der Waals system. We plot P-v, T-v and G-T diagrams and investigate the phase transition of adS black holes in the canonical ensemble. We study the nonlinearity effects of electrodynamics and see how the power of nonlinearity affects critical behavior. We also investigate the effects of dimensionality on the critical values and analyze its crucial role. Moreover, we show the changes in the universal ratio P_{c}v_{c}/T_{c} for variation of different parameters. In addition, we make a comparison between linear and nonlinear electrodynamics and show that the lowest critical temperature belongs to Maxwell theory. Also, we make some arguments regarding to how power of nonlinearity brings the system to Schwarzschild-like and Reissner-Nordstrom-like limitations. Next, we study the critical behavior in context of heat capacity. We show that critical behavior of system is similar to one in phase diagrams of extended phase space. We point out that phase transition points of the extended phase space only appear as divergencies of heat capacity. We also extend the study of phase transitions through GTD method. We introduce two new metrics and show that divergencies of TRS of the new metrics coincide with phase transitions. The characteristic behavior of these divergencies, hence critical points is exactly the one that is obtained in extended phase space and heat capacity. We also introduce a new method for obtaining critical pressure and horizon radius by considering denominator of the heat capacity. We show that there are several benefits that make this approach favorable comparing to other ones.

description: In this letter we show that magnetic fields generated at the electroweak phase transition are most likely too weak to explain the void magnetic fields apparently observed today unless they have considerable helicity. We show that, in the simplest estimates, the helicity naturally produced in conjunction with the baryon asymmetry is too small to explain observations, which require a helicity fraction at least of order $10^{-14}-10^{-10}$ depending on the void fields constraint used. Therefore new mechanisms to generate primordial helicity are required if magnetic fields generated during the electroweak phase transition should explain the extragalactic fields.

Markets for suspicion: Assessing cost-benefit analysis in crimnial justice
Creators: name: Bergin, Tiffany
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: In recent years, cost-benefit analysis (CBA)-the systematic weighing-up of the economic and social costs and benefits of a particular program, project, or policy, and assigning to them a monetary value-has gained increasing prominence in criminal justice policymaking in the United States and the United Kingdom. This article critically assesses CBA's emergence, exploring both the advantages and challenges it could bring to crime and justice decisions. The article traces CBA's history, and examines whether critiques that have been applied to the use of CBA in other policy domains might also apply in criminal justice. Two major theoretical frameworks-Feeley and Simon's (1992) concept of "actuarial" perspectives in criminal justice and Giddens' (1999) and Beck's (1992) ideas about the "risk society"-are drawn upon to critically evaluate CBA and situate its rise within historical, economic, and political contexts. Given the increasing reliance on CBA calculations in the US, UK, and many other countries, the need for critical assessment of this technique and its potential implications in the criminal justice sphere has never been greater.

description: First calculations for deformed nuclei with the Fayans functional are carried out for the uranium and lead isotopic chains. The ground state deformations and deformation energies are compared to Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov results of HFB-17 and HFB-27 functionals. For the uranium isotopic chain, the Fayans functional predictions are rather similar properties compared to HFB-17 and HFB-27. However, there is a disagreement for the lead isotopic chain. Both of the Skyrme HFB functionals predict rather strong deformations for the light Pb isotopes which does not agree with the experimental data on charge radii and magnetic moments of the odd Pb isotopes. On the other hand, the Fayans functional predicts a spherical ground state for all of the lead isotopes, in accordance with the data and the known in literature results obtained with the Gogny D1S force and SLy6 functional as well. The deformation energy curves are calculated and compared to four Skyrme functionals, SLy4, Sly6, SkM* and UNEDF1, for $^{238}$U nucleus and several lead deficient Pb isotopes. In the first case, the Fayans functional result is rather close to SkM* and UNEDF1 which, in particularly the latter one, describe the first and second barriers in $^{238}$U rather well. For the light lead isotopes, the Fayans deformation energy curves are qualitatively close to those of the SLy6 functional.

From social control to urban control? Urban protests, policing, and localization in Germany and England (1960s to 1980s)
Creators: name: Weinhauer, Klaus
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: In England and in Germany, until the 1960s the policing of public protests (as a special field of policing public disorder) aimed at an all-encompassing social control. A strong focus was put on completely controlling a defined physical territory as well as the movements of persons or groups, leaving only very few pockets for independent spatial appropriations. The violent clashes of the 1980s deeply challenged this model of social control as regards protest policing. In both countries, urban localization was an important factor which can explain these challenges: Local citizens self-confidently claimed the right to protest on their streets in their neighborhood and present their aims, thus using local urban space as a multifold power resource for identity formation, for envisioning the future of the urban, for protesting for local political issues, and also for consumer needs. Implementing an alternative model of protest policing could have helped to avoid or minimize violent confrontations in urban settings. Such an urban control protest policing would have had to be based on interventions that were decentralized in focus, sensitive to space and local issues, and understood the repercussions police interventions could have on street protestors, especially regarding the potential escalation of physical violence. In England as well as in Western Germany, the hermetic internal culture of the police (with its inherent pattern of masculinity) was the biggest obstacle which worked against abandoning the concept of completely controlling a physical territory and the movements of people in it. In Germany, the abstract state-centered thinking common among policemen ("seeing like a state") and the strict separation of day-to-day routine policing on the one side and the policing of protests which were labeled 'political' on the other side worked massively against establishing an alternative model of protest policing. In England implementing new models of policing was obstructed by a self-image of the police as a neutral mediator of social tensions as well as by the institutional racism of the police.

Theorizing modern politics and its ironies of control through the case of East German state socialis
Creators: name: Glaeser, Andreas
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2013

description: This article understands politics as a self-conscious practice aiming at the formation of institutions, which has historically increased in scope, scale and degree of intentionality. Precisely because especially modern political projects are dependent on the cooperation of very large numbers of people, politicians have developed control practices to ensure their success. In other words, politicians have tended to equate control with power, which I take to mean factual success at forming the institutions intended. Control efforts can, however, not only run afoul of modern understandings of selves as autonomous citizens who must be accepted as co-politicians, but also of their epistemic and technological limitations. Thus especially readily legible control efforts can create ironic consequences by systematically undermining the power politicians seek. The socialisms of Eastern Europe form an apex in the development of modern politics towards large scale and deep scope. For that reason they are an excellent field to explore ironies of control in modern politics. This paper analyzes in particular ironies of direction and ironies of political knowledge making by analyzing the efforts of the secret police of the GDR to control the peace and civil rights movements.

description: We study the velocity of travelling waves of a reaction-diffusion system coupling a standard reaction-diffusion equation in a strip with a one-dimensional diffusion equation on a line. We show that it grows like the square root of the diffusivity on the line. This generalises a result of Berestycki, Roquejoffre and Rossi in the context of Fisher-KPP propagation where the question could be reduced to algebraic computations. Thus, our work shows that this phenomenon is a robust one. The ratio between the asymptotic velocity and the square root of the diffusivity on the line is characterised as the unique admissible velocity for fronts of an hypoelliptic system, which is shown to admit a travelling wave profile.

Automatic penalty and degree continuation for parallel pre-conditioned mesh curving on virtual geometry

description: We present a distributed parallel mesh curving method for virtual geometry. The main application is to generate large-scale curved meshes on complex geometry suitable for analysis with unstructured high-order methods. Accordingly, we devise the technique to generate geometrically accurate meshes composed of high-quality elements. To this end, we advocate for degree continuation on a penalty-based second-order optimizer that uses global tight tolerances to converge the distortion residuals. To reduce the method memory footprint, waiting time, and energy consumption, we combine three main ingredients. First, we propose a matrix-free GMRES solver pre-conditioned with successive over-relaxation by blocks to reduce the memory footprint three times. We also propose an adaptive penalty technique, to reduce the number of non-linear iterations. Third, we propose an indicator of the required linear solver tolerance to reduce the number of linear iterations. On thousands of cores, the method curves meshes composed of millions of quartic elements featuring highly stretched elements while matching a virtual topology.

description: The purpose of this paper is to study the problem of generalizing the Belavkin-Kalman filter to the case where the classical measurement signal is replaced by a fully quantum non-commutative output signal. We formulate a least mean squares estimation problem that involves a non-commutative system as the filter processing the non-commutative output signal. We solve this estimation problem within the framework of non-commutative probability. Also, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions which make these non-commutative estimators physically realizable. These conditions are restrictive in practice.

Why doesn’t the telephone ring? Reform of educational standards in Russia.
Creators: name: Minina, Elena
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2014

description: The article explores the public perception of neoliberal idea of of 'educational standardisation' against the benchmark of local pedagogical practices and preferences in post-Soviet education modernisation reform in Russia. The analysis shows how the standardisation reform in Russia was developed in convergence with policy recommendations by foreign agents, rather than through consultations with domestic pedagogical community. Using a variety of discursive techniques, the article contrasts the interpretative schemes underlying neoliberal and local interpretations of educational standards and exposes several points of tension surrounding the concept at the linguistic, metaphorical and conceptual levels. While the official discourse positions 'educational standard' as a principle of educational provision, the public discourse interprets it as merely a reduced list of school subjects subsidised by the state. In further explicating specific conceptual frameworks within which particular meanings of ‘standard’ are instantiated, I identify two conflicting sets of frames within the standardisation debate: state control and pedagogy. One is associated with authoritarian pedagogy and state monopoly over education, while the other is rooted in the local pedagogical tradition of vospitanie through creative learning. I uncover a number of tensions in the interpretation of the idea of standard, including the oppositions ‘curriculum versus programma,’ ‘standard versus non-standard,’ and ‘whole versus fragmented.’ Within these oppositions, one member stands for the ‘humane,’ ‘fundamental,’ and ‘liberating,’ while another represents ‘restricting,’ ‘stereotypical,’ ‘mechanistic’ and ‘lacking individuality.’ Whilst sharing the initial points of reference, the value points appear reverse in the public and the official discourses: the official discourse construes the progressive idea of educational standard in opposition to the ‘grey uniformity’ of Soviet-era schooling, while the public discourse castigates the standardisation reform as a total displacement of personality. Straddling contradicting frames of reference, the official rhetoric exhibits a considerable degree of inconsistency, creating confusion in the societal debate and obscuring the direction of reform.

description: We present an $n$-dimensional marked bisection method for unstructured conformal meshes. We devise the method for local refinement in adaptive $n$-dimensional applications. To this end, we propose a mesh marking pre-process and three marked bisection stages. The pre-process marks the initial mesh conformingly. Then, in the first $n-1$ bisections, the method accumulates in reverse order a list of new vertices. In the second stage, the $n$-th bisection, the method uses the reversed list to cast the bisected simplices as reflected simplices, a simplex type suitable for newest vertex bisection. In the final stage, beyond the $n$-th bisection, the method switches to newest vertex bisection. To allow this switch, after the second stage, we check that under uniform bisection the mesh simplices are conformal and reflected. These conditions are sufficient to use newest vertex bisection, a bisection scheme guaranteeing key advantages for local refinement. Finally, the results show that the proposed bisection is well-suited for local refinement of unstructured conformal meshes.

description: Apoptosis, repair and senescence are tools which an organism can use in a risk management process that balances the threats posed by damaged, existing cells against the difficulty and cost of replacing them. If they are orchestrated effectively the organism can gain a degree of risk reduction, appropriate for a particular tissue and time of life, at minimum cost.
Where abundant resources allow, apoptosis eliminates risks posed by damaged cells. Where resources are constrained, senescence trades immediate threats posed by damaged cells for longer-term risks including inflammation, metastasis and epigenetic instability. Pushing risks into the future is consistent with an evolutionary need to keep an organism adequately healthy, for sufficiently long, that it can raise healthy offspring.
Negative consequences of senescence can be minimised by ensuring that senescence is rarely needed. Where senescence is unavoidable, it is desirable to engineer outcomes that halt proliferation without altering or damaging chromatin.

The cellular entropy of an organism will increase with age. Plentiful initial resources, and careful management of those resources, can delay but not eliminate the increase in cellular entropy and reduction in information as an organism ages.

В качестве респондентов выступают 34 пациента, проходивших лечение по поводу невротических расстройств (7 испытуемых – мужчины, 27 – женщины) и 50 человек, не имеющих в анамнезе невротических расстройств и не обращавшихся ранее за психотерапевтической помощью (17 испытуемых – мужчины, 33 – женщины). Возраст испытуемых в обеих группах варьировался от 23 до 61 лет. Отмечается, что в группе здоровых испытуемых суеверность связана с целым рядом характерологических особенностей: эмотивностью, экзальтированностью, тревожностью, педантичностью и циклотимностью. В группе лиц, страдающих невротическими расстройствами, значимых взаимосвязей суеверности с чертами характера обнаружено не было. Делается вывод о том, что суеверность у лиц, страдающих невротическими расстройствами, выступает в качестве самостоятельного психического феномена, не связанного с характерологическим преморбидом и выполняющего защитно-компенсаторную функцию.
Social science teachers on citizenship education: A comparative study of three European countries

Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2014

description: This paper presents a comparison of high school teachers’ views on citizenship education in three European countries – the Netherlands, Bulgaria, and Croatia. In all these countries, citizenship is an important part of school curriculum. The teachers need to find ways to deal with the everyday dilemmas of teaching a concept so highly loaded with diverse political meanings. What kind of citizens would they educate? How would they find a balance between neutrality and indoctrination? These and other questions were posed to over 60 teachers in the three countries in interviews using Q‐methodology, a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. In all three countries, we found variations of four ideal types of views: Hierarchical, Individualist, Egalitarian, and Fatalist (group-grid theory of Douglas/Wildavsky). The number of types revealed and the degree of consensus within the countries varied per country. Subsequent analysis of the three countries together revealed a number of underlying themes, as well as a shared bottom-line standard of professionalism among the teachers. We will discuss the methodological challenges and insights of the study. First, we demonstrate that the employment of group-grid theory as an overarching framework within Q-methodology is a suitable instrument for a cross-country comparison, as it allows analysis of genuine interpretations by practitioners without pre-set measures and imposed meanings. Second, the study reveals the importance of looking at the internal diversity of “national contexts” as a way to avoid cultural and political labelling. Third, we will discuss the challenges and the chances of doing research by people who have access to and experience with more than one culture and language. As a result, we believe that the study will shed a light on the complexity of cultural, political, and historical contexts surrounding the introduction and implementation of citizenship education in ‘established’ and ‘postcommunist’ democracies alike [1] Keywords: Citizenship education, Comparative study, Social science teachers, Q-methodology, Group-grid theory [1] Parts of this paper appear in “ Views and beliefs of social science teachers on citizenship education: preliminary results from a comparative study of Bulgaria, Croatia, and the Netherlands.

description: Power-law scaling, a central concept in critical phenomena, is found to be useful in deep learning, where optimized test errors on handwritten digit examples converge as a power-law to zero with database size. For rapid decision making with one training epoch, each example is presented only once to the trained network, the power-law exponent increased with the number of hidden layers. For the largest dataset, the obtained test error was estimated to be in the proximity of state-of-the-art algorithms for large epoch numbers. Power-law scaling assists with key challenges found in current artificial intelligence applications and facilitates an a priori dataset size estimation to achieve a desired test accuracy. It establishes a benchmark for measuring training complexity and a quantitative hierarchy of machine learning tasks and algorithms.

Exploratory study of the professional identity of higher education teachers in Ukraine
Creators: name: Vitrukh, Mariya
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2014

description: Ukraine entered the Bologna Process in 2005 (European Commission TEMPUS Study, 2012). The Bologna process required a radical change in the educational process in Ukraine, in particular changes in the design of the curriculum, the academic calendar and student grading procedures as well as bigger emphasis on the research work by the faculty (Shaw, Chapman, & Rumyantseva, 2011). Also, in the context of highly centralised system of education and financial problems caused by global economic crisis, there was a need to provide systematic instructional redesign or real support for staff to implement the changes prescribed by the Bologna process. However, this was not done and resulted in the Bologna process implementation that seems patchy to external observers (Shaw, Chapman, & Rumyantseva, 2011). Within this, an instrumental part of the new educational process is how teachers see themselves and construct or reconstruct their professional identity to suit the new educational reform. So, it is relevant to give focus to professional identity of Higher Education teachers in a post-Soviet context as the country seeks compliance with a European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This research aimed to explore and deeply analyse the professional identity of university teachers in Ukraine. The study showed that there was made a shift from teacher-centred approach; however, it is recommended that for teachers to achieve a more substantial move away from current teacher-centred approaches to teaching, teachers will require greater financial and structural support on the part of policy makers as well as further university staff training.

subject: Rhetoric

description: Educational games contribute to both the socio-emotional development of students and the learning process in a natural and experiential way. In particular, the work discusses the games of rhetorical art, which cultivate literacy, the production of oral speech as well as the communication skills of children. The purpose is to provide a detailed presentation of the positive results per rhetorical struggle through specific examples of speech in Primary and Secondary School. The research contributes to the introduction of the art of rhetoric in education as well as the promotion of games as tools for learning and personality development of young people. In addition, it is important we consider the use of rhetoric and play as a means of smooth transition of students from primary to secondary education.
Educational governance activities and the rise of educational contagion in the Islamic Maghreb. The case of Tunisia.

description: Tunisia’s recent movement from dictatorship to democracy presents a unique opportunity to understand educational developments in post-revolutionary settings. Within Tunisia, the study of the post-revolutionary scenery is integral because it is likely that education now has to deal with the baggage and verbiage of education for democracy as it attempts to partake in the global souk in a post-Ben Ali era. Using Tunisia as a case study, this research examines educational developments within transitory democratic spaces to advance the research hypothesis that revolutions act as an ‘educational contagion' as new ideas are imported and old ones realigned to seek national competency and international legitimacy. In this context, the study explores how the current post-revolutionary reforms are engendered, as in the case of Tunisia’s recent movement from revolution to elections, and engages in the themes and purposes of educational transformations. Theoretically, this study draws upon two strands of research in comparative and international education that strive to understand why states import new educational reforms and who is responsible for these reforms. A qualitative methodological scaffolding of latent and manifest content analyses is utilized to examine Tunisia’s education policies in the pre-and post-revolutionary period―revealing the “actors” and “institutions” that facilitated, giddied, and undergirded new reform initiatives. It explores the confluence of ‘when’ and ‘why’ educational reform is imported and exported and address who benefits from such reforms. The findings show that the post-revolutionary education reforms have taken on a whole new role and have given Tunisia the potential to become an exemplar for all countries faced with the challenges stemming from economic globalization.

Educational policies for non-Russian minorities in Russia: A theoretical-historical case study
Creators: name: Mchitarjan, Irina
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2014

description: This article presents a theoretical analysis of the educational policies for ethnic minorities, using the example of Russia. To this end, the Russian educational minority policies are analyzed from the perspective of a theory of cultural transmission in minorities recently proposed by the author. It is argued that the theory is able to explain important aspects of the educational policies of a majority for indigenous minorities that are not easily accounted for by existing theoretical approaches, and can therefore contribute to a better understanding of the Russian educational policy for minorities during history and more generally, the educational policies of nation states for ethnic minorities. Keywords: Russia; minorities; minority politics; educational policies; nationalities policy; cultural transmission in minorities

title: Spatial and Temporal Mapping of Distributed Precipitation, Surface and Groundwater Stable Isotopes Enables Insights into Hydrologic Processes Operating at a Catchment Scale

description: Isotopic analyses of d18O and d2H of water through the hydrologic cycle have allowed hydrologists to make better interpretations related to climate and relationships between precipitation, surface water, and groundwater. In this study 394 precipitation samples 1917 surface water samples and 1405 groundwater samples across Massachusetts was used to create an isoscape for each respective water. All samples have been collected by volunteers throughout Massachusetts. A state meteoric water line: d2H = 7.7*d18O + 9.8, surface water line: d2H = 5.7*d18O – 4.2, and groundwater line: d2H = 6.5*d18O + 2.9 was created for the state of Massachusetts. The d18O isoscape for each of the above-mentioned waters shows an isotopic separation along an east-west topographic gradient where isotopes were enriched in the eastern portion of Massachusetts and depleted in the western portion of Massachusetts. Precipitation, surface water, and groundwater show unique isotopic variability. The isotopic variability of precipitation is primarily due to seasonality, moisture source and differences in topography across Massachusetts. The d18O and d2H isotopic variability of surface water is due to a biasing of precipitation as well an enrichment due to an open water system as the surface water dataset correlates with surface water type and precipitation isotopic values. The d18O and d2H isotopic variability of groundwater is due to the dampening of surface water and precipitation because of hydrogeologic processes and the biasing of surface waters that have gone through open water isotopic variability.

description: Теоретические работы Ф.Е. Василюка в области психологии переживания являются общепризнанной классикой. Его отдельные теоретические положения, специальн ые работы, касающиеся проблем сознания структуры, уровней, культурно исторической детерминации при этом относительно малоизвестны за пределами круга понимающей психотерапии. Авторы, с одной стороны, как понимающие психотерапевты, с другой как многоле тние преподаватели теоретического курса «Психология сознания и переживания», ставят вопрос о единой теории сознания и переживания Ф.Е. Василюка и ее значении как общепсихологической теории, психотехнической теории, о ее применении в широком мультидисциплин арном поле. Предварительный анализ позволяет наметить по крайней мере пять векторов возможного развития этой области наследия Василюка: 1) теория сознания как академическая и психотехническая теория, 2) место психотехнической теории сознания в широком конт ексте развития представлений о сознании в философии, социологии, психологии, нейронауках и т. д., 3) проблема соотношения категорий сознания и переживания, 4) разработка отдельных разделов теории сознания, 5) прикладные исследования различных культурных и психологических феноменов с опорой на данную модель сознания.
