Особенности социально-философского и философско-исторического подходов к исследованию цивилизационной проблематики

The author of the paper insists on the need to highlight two complementary aspects in understanding the nature of civilization. In one case, civilization is a historical era, and in the other, it is the civilizational development of individual local states or societies (local civilizations). The paper reveals the thematic field of research on civilizational issues from the perspective of socio-philosophical knowledge (including its philosophical and historical component). It is noted that the uncertainty and vagueness of the concept of civilization is largely due to the fact that its philosophical status has not yet been identified, since the concept is considered, as a rule, without connection with the system of socio-philosophical categories. An important theoretical issue is the question of civilizational self-awareness of society. i.e. awareness of oneself as a civilization. Further, the paper talks about the theoretical and practical significance of studying the level of development of local civilizations during the transition from an independent type of development to a dependent type of development. Much attention is paid in the paper to the analysis of the dependent and backward type of historical development of non-Western civilizations, which lasted during the five-century cycle of world history. The last section of the paper discusses a complex and not fully clarified question, which was posed by S. Fourier in all detail. Does civilization as a historical era have a time frame of existence or is this era forever? Today’s change in the vector of world development, the rejection of unipolarity allows the author to raise the question of the transition of humanity from the era of civilization to a new era, to the New modernity, when the further development of human society will take place according to the laws of culture.

Educational Institutions and Youth Contributing towards Meeting the Vision of Viksit Bharat

Abstract In developing nations, resources of the country are being exploited in a limited manner, and there is an indispensable need to optimize material and human resources for the development of human society. Right now, the resources which are utilized are the employees whose number is limited. Apart from this, the human resources which can be utilized for welfare of nation are youth, and they will prove to be valuable assets in welfare of developing country like India. If we can use youth as a resource person with the knowledge of their stream, we can do miracle and contribute to make our country as Viksit Bharat in a fastest way. If the approach of education is 2-dimensional, it will be horizontal in nature with surface learning by students, but when the 3-dimensional approach is introduced, one can explore space and in-depth knowledge and understanding. To cater this, we are proposing a “Modified Attitude-Ethics-Communication (AETCOM) Model”, wherein interdisciplinary integration i.e. humanity, attitude, ethics and communication domains will be there and this will be the only tool which will make them disciplined healthy human resources workforce. In conclusion, the youth of today can act as either co-learner or as a human resource who can contribute their own knowledge and perspectives in the development of the society. In-fact, it won’t be wrong to state that their contribution in meeting the national vision of Viksit Bharat has immense potential.

Using Knowledge Graphs to Analyze the Characteristics and Trends of Forest Carbon Storage Research at the Global Scale

Research on forest carbon storage (FCS) is crucial for the sustainable development of human society given the context of global climate change. Previous FCS studies formed the science base of the FCS field but lacked a macrolevel knowledge summary. This study combined the scientometric mapping tool VOSviewer and multiple statistical models to conduct a comprehensive knowledge graph mining and analysis of global FCS papers (covering 101 countries, 1712 institutions, 5435 authors, and 276 journals) in the Web of Science database as of 2022, focusing on revealing the macro spatiotemporal pattern, multidimensional research status, and topic evolution process of FCS research at the global scale, so as to grasp the status of global FCS research more clearly and comprehensively, thereby facilitating the future decision-making and practice of researchers. The results showed the following: (1) In the past three decades, the number of FCS papers indicated an increasing trend, with a growth rate of 4.66/yr, particularly significant after 2010. These papers were mainly from Europe, the Americas, and Asia, while there was a huge gap between Africa, Oceania, and the above regions. (2) For the research status at the national, institutional, scholar, and journal levels, the USA, with 331 FCS papers and 18,653 total citations, was the most active and influential country in global FCS research; the United States Forest Service topped the influential ranking with 4115 citations; Grant M. Domke and Jerome Chave were the most active and influential FCS researchers globally, respectively. China’s activity (237 papers) and influence (5403 citations) ranked second, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most active research institution in the world. Currently, FCS research is published in a growing number of journals, among which Forest Ecology and Management ranked first in the number of papers (154 papers) and citations (6374 citations). (3) In recent years, the keyword frequency of monitoring methods, driving factors, and reasonable management for FCS has increased rapidly, and many new related keywords have emerged, which means that researchers are not only focusing on the estimation and monitoring of FCS but also increasingly concerned about its driving mechanism and sustainable development.

History of the development of theater architecture: (5th century BC – beginning of the 20th century)

The article analyzes the stages of formation and development of theater architecture (from antiquity to 1900) in accordance with the evolution of culture, historical, social and economic development of human society. A description of the technologies of the theater building of different eras, its design and construction norms are presented. The authors made an attempt to explain the evolution of architectural styles of theater buildings from ancient times to modern times. It helps to understand the influence of cultural, technological and social factors on architectural decisions. The impact of the development of architectural styles in the construction of theaters of different eras on cultural heritage is also considered. The authors emphasize the need for a comprehensive coverage of the importance of considering the architectural features of theater buildings as part of the cultural heritage of various peoples and eras. For this purpose, the authors reviewed architectural masterpieces that have become symbols of their cities or countries. The authors separately considered the issue of technical progress in the construction of theaters at different times. This part of the article is devoted to explaining the technological innovations that influenced theater architecture, such as improved acoustics, lighting, and construction methods. Also, the authors of the article reviewed modern trends in the use of materials and energy-efficient solutions. The article analyzes the relationship between the development of theater architecture and social aspects, such as changes in audience tastes, the role of theater in society, and the reflection of political and cultural trends in buildings. The authors of the article attempted to determine the influence of theater architecture on modern architecture and society. In particular, an overview of the influence of the heritage of outstanding architects of theater buildings and their contribution to the development of architecture in general is made. The article shows that the expansion of the typological structure of the architecture of various theaters created the prerequisites for a variety of compositional schemes and a fundamentally different presentation of architectural tasks. Different city-building conditions, typological foundations and individual characteristics of the theater led to the appearance of new buildings that contrast in their structure, style and means of artistic expression. Historical experience shows that theater architecture is as inexhaustible as theater art, as inexhaustible and complex multi-meaning concept of theater.

KHCO3 Chemical-Activated Hydrothermal Porous Carbon Derived from Sugarcane bagasse for Supercapacitor Applications.

The reuse of waste biomass resources had become a hot topic in the sustainable development of human society. Biomass was an ideal precursor for preparing porous carbon. However, due to the complexity of biomass composition and microstructure, the quality reproducibility of biomass porous carbon was poor. Therefore, it was of great significance to develop a reliable method for preparing porous carbon from biomass. In this paper, the activated hydrothermal porous carbon was prepared by a combination of hydrothermal carbonization treatment and KHCO3 mild activation. The hydrothermal carbonization treatment could complete the morphology adjustment and iron doping of the carbon in one step, and the mild activation of KHCO3 could activate the porous carbon while maintaining the spherical morphology. Fe-modified porous carbon with carbon ball/nanosheet structure prepared from bagasse exhibited a high surface area (2169.8 m2/g), which facilitated ion/electrolyte diffusion and increased accessibility between surface area and electrolyte ions. Therefore, bagasse derived activated porous carbon had good specific capacitance (315.2 F/g at 1 A/g) and good cycle stability, with a capacitance loss of only 5.8 % after 5000 charge-discharge cycles, and the Na2SO4-based device showed the maximum energy density of 13.02 Wh/kg. This study showed that the combination of hydrothermal treatment and mild activation provided an effective way for the conversion of waste biomass into high-performance electrode materials.

Exploration of Water Resource Protection and Utilization in Tibet from the Perspective of Ecological Civilization

Tibet, known as the “roof of the world” in China's southwest border region, is not only rich in water resources, but also regarded as an important national energy reserve base. However, on a global scale, Tibet is also one of the few places in the world that faces the challenge of water scarcity. In order to cope with this challenge, it is necessary to deeply understand and grasp the connotation, essential characteristics and basic requirements of the concept of ecological civilization, and on this basis, combined with the current situation of water resources in Tibet, analyze the existing problems and put forward improvement measures in the light of the concept of ecological civilization, to promote the sustainable development and management of water resources in Tibet. As one of the core elements of ecological civilization construction, the protection and rational utilization of water resources are directly related to the stability of the ecological environment and the sustainable development of human society. Therefore, it is necessary to curb water pollution from the source and strengthen the protection of water environment. In view of the shortage of water resources in Tibet, it is necessary to scientifically plan and manage water resources, rationally allocate water resources, and improve the efficiency of water resources utilization. At the same time, it is also necessary to use modern scientific and technological means, such as remote sensing technology and big data analysis, to carry out real-time monitoring and management of water resources in Tibet to better cope with the challenge of water shortage. Finally, it is necessary to adhere to the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, respect nature, adapt to nature, and protect nature, in order to achieve the goal of harmonious coexistence between man and water, man and nature. In general, through the in-depth study of water resources in Tibet, we can better understand the connotation, essential characteristics and basic requirements of the concept of ecological civilization, so as to propose more scientific and reasonable improvement measures to promote the sustainable development and management of water resources in Tibet and to realize the harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature.

A Forest Fire Smoke Monitoring System Based on a Lightweight Neural Network for Edge Devices

Forest resources are one of the indispensable resources of the earth, which are the basis for the survival and development of human society. With the swift advancements in computer vision and artificial intelligence technology, the utilization of deep learning for smoke detection has achieved remarkable results. However, the existing deep learning models have poor performance in forest scenes and are difficult to deploy because of numerous parameters. Hence, we introduce an optimized forest fire smoke monitoring system for embedded edge devices based on a lightweight deep learning model. The model makes full use of the multi-scale variable attention mechanism of Transformer architecture to strengthen the ability of image feature extraction. Considering the needs of application scenarios, we propose an improved lightweight network model LCNet for feature extraction, which can reduce the parameters and enhance detecting ability. In order to improve running speed, a simple semi-supervised label knowledge distillation scheme is used to enhance the overall detection capability. Finally, we design and implement a forest fire smoke detection system on an embedded device, including the Jetson NX hardware platform, high-definition camera, and detection software system. The lightweight model is transplanted to the embedded edge device to achieve rapid forest fire smoke detection. Also, an asynchronous processing framework is designed to make the system highly available and robust. The improved model reduces three-fourths of the parameters and increases speed by 3.4 times with similar accuracy to the original model. This demonstrates that our system meets the precision demand and detects smoke in time.

Middle to late Holocene human societies on the eastern margin of the Eurasian Steppe, and their adaptation to environmental changes

The impact of environmental changes on the development of human societies in the Eurasian Steppe is not well understood over the Holocene timescale. In this study, we have reported the phytoliths, grain size, and weight loss on ignition for an aeolian soil profile in the Liao River Basin at the eastern margin of the Eurasian Steppe. The profiles spanned the middle and late Holocene based on AMS 14C dating. By employing the summed radiocarbon probability distribution of archaeological sites and kernel density analysis, the spatial and temporal distributions of human populations and settlements were investigated in order to analyze the rise and fall of ancient cultures. Our findings indicated that the environment in the Liao River Basin underwent three stages of change. From 6700 to 5400 cal yr BP, the climate was warm and humid. The climate suddenly became cold and dry from 5400 to 4900 cal yr BP. The climate fluctuated, with a general tendency towards cold and dry conditions, from 4900 cal yr BP to 1700 cal yr BP. In addition, human societies in the region underwent significant changes, with rapid agricultural development and population growth in the warm and humid environment of the Middle Neolithic (6700–5000 yr BP). However, during the Late Neolithic (5000–4000 yr BP), the living environment suddenly became cold and dry, which limited the development of human society and drastically reduced its population. Nevertheless, the resilience of human societies continued to increase, and in the Bronze Age (4000–2000 yr BP), even in an overall cold and dry living environment, human societies still developed and their population increased sharply. Changes in the East Asia Summer Monsoon were an important driver of cultural change, and our study emphasizes the complex human-environment interactions that shaped societal development on the Eurasian Steppe.

A dynamic routing scheme for underwater acoustic sensor networks in submarine disaster applications

IntroductionThe ocean economy serves as a critical engine for the development of human society and economy, and its stable growth is of utmost importance. However, the frequent and unexpected occurrence of natural disasters, such as submarine disasters, poses significant threats to human society, especially disasters related to wave phenomena like the Ekman current, which has particularly prominent impacts.MethodsThe study proposes a dynamic routing scheme for underwater acoustic sensor networks. It establishes a cone-shaped distributed network, utilizing autonomous underwater vehicles to collect crucial data from nodes deployed on the seabed and transmitting it through the underwater cone-shaped distributed sensor network. Additionally, it adopts source location protection (SLP) technology to ensure the privacy of source locations. To validate the practicality and stability of this scheme, simulation experiments targeting the Ekman current were conducted in MATLAB.ResultsThe experimental results demonstrate that the cone–SLP network significantly reduces the frequency of routing information exchange and energy consumption among acoustic sensors, effectively enhancing the economy and durability of the sensor network. Furthermore, it exhibits robust practicality and high stability in complex and variable submarine environments.DiscussionThis research not only provides a practical method for effectively monitoring submarine disasters but also offers valuable experience and significant reference value for other similar projects, playing a more crucial role in the sustainable development of the ocean economy.

Analisis Dinamika Keadilan Lingkungan dan Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Alam: Studi Kasus Pencapaian Hak Tanah Masyarakat Desa Wadas terhadap Rencana Pembangunan Bendungan Bener

In the context of environmental law enforcement, justice is a crucial element. Recognizing the importance of justice in the context of the environment and natural resource management is expected to raise awareness about environmental care and sustainable preservation efforts. The management of natural resources plays a key role in shaping the development of human societies. Land resources hold significant importance for human survival, as they are used in various human activities such as agriculture, industry, housing, transportation networks, recreation, and environmental conservation for scientific purposes. However, many conflicts arise concerning land, with concrete examples such as land disputes. Efforts to protect the environment have been made through various means, including community participation, stakeholder involvement, regulation, national and international agreements, legislation, and law enforcement. Additionally, scientific and technological approaches, as well as technical programs, have also been employed in environmental protection efforts. Nevertheless, environmental issues have not yet been fully effectively addressed. An example is the case of the Land Rights Achievement of the Wadas Village Community in relation to the Bener Dam Development Plan. This research has the potential to be used as a dynamic analysis of environmental justice and natural resource management.

Hybrid Intelligence: Design for Sustainable Multiverse via Integrative Cognitive Creation Model through Human–Computer Collaboration

The unprecedented development of artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for computers to imitate and surpass human intelligence (HI). Hybrid intelligence is the result of the co-evolution of AI and HI and has huge application potential in promoting the sustainable development of human society. This study starts from the similarities and differences between biological neural networks and artificial neural networks, compares the cognitive foundations of human intelligence and artificial intelligence, highlights the difference and connection between AI and HI, and puts forward the necessity and inevitability of their co-evolution to achieve hybrid intelligence with complementary advantages. Hybrid intelligence stands to become the pivotal force driving purposeful and planned sustainable creative behavior in the artificial intelligence era. This study proposes a design cognitive creation model based on human–computer collaboration that considers computational design thinking as the central concept. Moreover, the paradigm shift of design under hybrid intelligence intervention are explored from five aspects: “tool evolution”, “response mode”, “output result”, “iterative optimization” and “system innovation”. Finally, this article constructs a creative intervention mechanism of design creation driven by hybrid intelligence and discusses its role playing in the design activities of sustainable multiverse construction in the future. The proposal of the multiverse model transcends the confines of the metaverse’s virtual worldview and embraces sustainable development for value guidance. It advocates a future trajectory for humanity that hinges on technological progress, fostering a prosperous, balanced, and harmonious coexistence between the natureverse, socialverse, and digitalverse. This approach is not only rational and scientific, but also inherently sustainable.

Swelling pressure of phyllite residual soil during saturation

Phyllite residual soil is a typical regional soil formed from the weathering of phyllite rock formations, characterized by poor engineering properties. The swelling pressure could pose a threat to roadbed stability and other geological engineering disasters during the rainy season. Therefore, studying the swelling pressure of phyllite residual soil is critical for ensuring the sustainable development of both human society and the natural environment. In this study, a series of swelling pressure tests were conducted on the phyllite residual soil to determine its swelling pressure, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) test was applied to assess the evolution of soil fabric in both the initial unsaturated state and saturated state. The results indicate that the swelling rate of phyllite residual soil is negatively correlated with the initial water content and positively correlates with the dry density. The denser or drier the phyllite residual soil is in its initial state, the higher the equilibrium swelling pressure will be. The analysis of T2 distribution curves reveals that during the wetting process in phyllite residual soil, water fills micropores prior to macropores until water fills up all pores.

Right to learn in the digital age: Challenges and protection in China

The right to learn is a fundamental human right that can be summarized as a personal entitlement to acquire knowledge, increase one's wisdom, and fully develop inherent capacity through various learning approaches and activities. With the advent of the information age, the notion of right to education is unable to meet the needs of the development of human beings and society. Thus, introducing a concept with a rich connotation, namely, the right to learn is necessary. However, this right has not been stipulated and protected by constitutional law in most countries. The development of digital technology and artificial intelligence not only brings great opportunities for its realization, but also poses challenges to this right. In China, the economic and digital gap has led to the unequal and uneven development of the right to learn, while the rigid internet review system and expectations of digital copyright protection have hindered this right. To address these challenges in the information era, the government should address the right to learn as a fundamental right and establish a protection system in China's education law. Moreover, it should improve the fair use of the copyright system and strike a balance between the right to learn and copyright. In addition, emerging management rights and the equitable distribution of e-learning resources and digital infrastructure are essential to the right to learn.

Impact of the Development of a Low-Carbon Economy on Global International Trade

With the continuous development of human society, the high intensity of energy use has caused serious damage to the environment. Due to the aggravation of ecological problems, governments have gradually set their eyes on balancing economic development and environmental protection. In this context, the "low-carbon economy" emerged and became the keyword in the new policies introduced by governments around the world. However, along with the introduction of low-carbon policies in various countries, its significant impact on international trade has also begun to emerge. Due to the different national conditions and backgrounds of various countries, how to develop a low-carbon economy and how to develop international trade under the background of a low-carbon economy has become one of the key research topics of all countries in the world. By discussing the development of a low-carbon economy and its relationship with international trade, a feasible new strategy of international trade development under the background of low low-carbon economy is proposed.
