The elementary forms of digital culture. Knowledge, connections and sociality

Contemporary communicative platforms welcome and accelerate a socio-anthropological mutation in which public opinion (Habermas, 1995) based on rational individuals and alphabetic culture gives way to a public emotion whose emotion, empathy and sociality are the bases, where it is no longer the reason that directs the senses but the senses that begin to think. The public spheres that are elaborated in this way can only be disjunctive (Appadurai, 2001), since they are motivated by the desire to transgress the identity, political and social boundaries where they have been elevated and restricted. The more the daily life, in its local intension and its global extension, rests on itself and frees itself from projections or infatuations towards transcendent and distant orders, the more the modern territory is shaken by the forces that cross it and pierce it. non-stop. The widespread disobedience characterizing a significant part of the cultural events that take place in cyberspace - dark web, web porn, copyright infringement, trolls, even irreverent ... - reveals the anomic nature of the societal subjectivity that emerges from the point of intersection between technology and naked life. Behind each of these offenses is the affirmation of the obsolescence of the principles on which much of the modern nation-states and their rights have been based. Each situation in which a tribe, cloud, group or network blends in a state of ecstasy or communion around shared communications, symbols and imaginations, all that surrounds it, in material, social or ideological terms, fades away. in the air, being isolated by the power of a bubble that in itself generates culture, rooting, identification: transpolitic to inhabit

Some clear evidences of the intrasedimental origin of massive ice in northern Eurasia

Massive ice is widespread on the territory of modern of Eurasian permafrost area: in the north of Western Siberia, Taimyr, Chukotka, and Arctic islands. Their thickness reaches 45-50m. The origin of massive ice is difficult to define due to the equifinality of such two different processes as intrasedimental freezing and formation of glacial ice. In both cases, thick massive ice is formed in various ways, but with the same final appearance. Three important aspects that show the evidence of the intrasedimental origin of massive ice in the north of Eurasia are examined. At first glance, they are obvious, but still fell out of sight of paleogeocryologists. It is shown that: 1) Any currently existing Late Pleistocene glacier, or part of it located under Holocene ice, have not yet been found within the Eurasian Arctic or on the Arctic islands with ice sheets, nor in the mountainous regions. 2) The isotopic composition of the vast majority of massive ice found in northern Eurasia is quite "Holocene", whereas in the north of Canada and Alaska, ice with a very light isotopic composition can often be found. 3) It should be taken into account that massive ice is found in the Holocene sediments of Western Siberia and Chukotka, where there is no reason to assume the glaciers spread to the plains.

ПОТЕНЦИАЛ ПАБЛИК-АРТ ПРОЕКТОВ В ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОЙ И ИССЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬСКОЙ СРЕДЕ

Combining educational environment with art has a long tradition within university museums, which are a valuable research resource, responsive to the needs of teaching, research and educational activities. At the same time, today not every school, university or research center has or can afford such museums. The article discusses innovative formats of interaction between educational institutions and artistic practices through public art — contemporary art practice, intended for the unprepared audience and implying the demonstration of art in a public, non-institutional environment. The article reveals the essence of the concept of public art, its evolution from understanding itself as an object to procedural and social practice; indicates the communicative, cultural and symbolic potential of public art in the formation of environments, communities, in the promotion of innovative ideas on the basis of universities or other educational institutions on the example of projects implemented at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow International University, Skolkovo Innovation Center. The conclusions of the article are the practical recommendations for creating public art projects on the territory of modern educational and research centers, based on communicative, site-specific, socially engaged approach.

Toponymic Image-Building for Urban Locations

The paper looks into the specifics of urban place naming from the perspective of modern territory marketing and branding. Regarding the image of a place as a strategy, the author postulates the importance of toponymic image-building for the market economy and transformation of the socio-cultural milieu. The study focuses on the cases of urban naming aimed at managing the perception of spatial objects and supported through their specific media representation. Most of these place names belong to Ekaterinburg, although some references to other cities are made as well. The originality of the proposed research consists in using discourse analysis to explain the image-building capacities of place naming that relate both to the name choice and to the semiotics of the material landscape, as well as to the intents and purposes of stakeholders involved in the promotion process. Toponymic image-building techniques are commonly used for positioning and promotion of residential real estate, prestigious business facilities, leisure and sports grounds. This enables the author to outline the naming techniques associated with different spheres of social relations. It is noted that toponymic image-building is another means of commodification of urban space, which is not limited to the cost component as such but also adds to the social value of the urban landscape. The conditional-symbolic principle of naming proves to be increasingly productive, which, according to the author, attests to the growing popularity of individualising components in ergonymic and toponymic naming. The research outcomes, covering both linguistic and general semiotic aspects of toponymic image-building, can contribute to solving problematic issues of applied toponymy and the development of urban toponymic policy.

Modern concepts of Neolithic cultures in northeastern Europe

The authors summarize and systematize data on Neolithic cultures in northeastern Europe. It is a modern territory of the Komi Republic, the northern part of the Perm Territory, the Vologda and Arkhangelsk Regions, and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Based on the critical analysis of evidences, their analysis and interpretation, the authors present their views on the features of the formation, development and fate of the Neolithic cultures of the region. It has been established that the studied region contains northern and northeastern provinces of the famous cultures of the early and middle Neolithic of Eastern Europe: Verkhnevolzhskaya, Kamskaya, Lyalovskaya and Kargopolskaya. In addition, fragments of some cultures were identified. Their initial areas of formation are not yet reliably determined. They are represented by early Neolithic sites such as Dutovo 1, Chernoborskaya III, Enty IА and Chyornaya Vadya. Some types of pottery without a specific context document the presence of population groups in northeastern Europe whose status has not been defined yet. The authors suggest that the formation of Neolithic cultures in the region is associated with the search for undeveloped feeding areas, their development and short-term exploitation by small groups of people commensurate with elementary or unified families. Until the Eneolithic in the greater territory of northeastern Europe the conditions for long-term residence of the Neolithic population were absent as well as the formation of local traditions.

Territory, enclosure, and state territorial mode of production in the Russian imperial periphery

Abstract. After the imperial land consolidation acts of 1906, the Russian land commune became a center of territorial struggle where complex alliances of actors, strategies, and representations of territory enacted land enclosure beyond the exclusive control of the state. Using original documentation of Russian imperial land deals obtained in the federal and municipal archives, this study explores how the Russian imperial state and territories in the periphery were dialectically co-produced not only through institutional manipulations, educational programs, and resettlement plans but also through political and public discourses. This paper examines how coalitions of landed nobility and land surveyors, landless serfs, and peasant proprietors used enclosure as conduits for property violence, accumulation of capital, or, in contrast, as a means of territorial autonomy. Through this example, I bring a territorial dimension into Russian agrarian scholarship by positioning the rural politics of the late imperial period within the global context of capitalist land enclosure. At the same time, by focusing on the reading of territory from the Russian historical perspective, I introduce complexity into the modern territory discourse often found in Western political geographic interpretations.

Киргизы из провинции Хэйлунцзян (фу-юй) Китайской Народной Республики

The ethnonym «kyrgyz» is widely spread on the Eurasian space. This ethnonym is often found both in toponymy, and in hydronyms, oronyms. Nomadic Kyrgyz have long been migrating, especially in the Middle Ages, and at the same time, they made a significant contribution to the historical and cultural appearance of other people of Central, Middle Asia and adjacent territories in the process of ethnic and cultural relations. As a result of the centuries-old migration processes and ethno-cultural relations in Northeast China (Heilongjiang province), Fuyu Kyrgyz people appeared. The original culture of the most Oriental representatives of the Turkic-speaking people of the world since the middle of the twentieth century has found a keen interest on the part of historians and ethnographers. In the scientific literature, this nationality is compactly residing in the county of Fu-yu (Heilongjiang province, China), known as fu-u or fu-yu. In the total number of not more than 1500 people, the Fu-Yun Kyrgyz people call themselves «Kyrgyz», «Hergase» or «Tirtiz» only. According to the anthropological type, the Fuyui Kyrgyz – unlike the neighboring people of the manjurs, Mongols, daurs, Evenks – are light-skinned and with European features. However, among them there are white-faced Kyrgyz with red or light chestnut hair (shatens). As for the economic order, the Fu-yu Kyrgyz are primarily cattlemen (large and small cattle). It has been proved by science that the language of the Fuyui Kyrgyz people entering the Turkic branch of languages has common roots with the modern languages of the Khakas and Shorians. In addition, it is very similar to the languages of sarahugur and lobnowortsev (Baskakov, 1980:199-208). The Kyrgyz of Fuyuu County are divided into six genera: Tabhyn, Tabindyr, Chigdyr, Sandyrdyr, Byltirdy, Kurtyr or Kargaster (Kyrgyz). Initially, the resettlement of the Yenisei Kyrgyz people to the modern territory of Mongolia, and further to Manchuria began in the Yuan era during the reign of Khubilai Khan. In between the war of Chingizids (mid-Asiatic Hajdu Khan and the Chinese Khubilai Khan) in the bloody struggle in the open spaces of Kara-Corum from both sides participated and Kyrgyz. Furrier cattle breeding was a traditional type of Fui-kyi farm. They kept horses, sheep, and cows. They engaged in hunting, on which they went on horseback accompanied by dogs. From the oral traditions it is known that the Fuyu kyrgyz began to grow grain since the middle of the 19th century. The dwelling of Fuyu Kyrgyz people in the past was a yurt, but approximately in the middle of the first half of the XIX century. began to move to stationary buildings. In the past, the Fyuju Kyrgyz people wore loose clothing with long sleeves and a belt. Women wore clothes with members of Kyrgyz society wearing fox hats. The winter wardrobe consisted mainly of leather clothes, mostly of sheepskin, while rich Kyrgyz wore fox fur coats. Traditional musical instruments are similar to Khakassian homys (stringed instrument) and hobrah (kind of flute).

Wasps of the family Scoliidae (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) of NNP “Dvorichanskyi”

When studying the biological diversity of the fauna of any territory and, in particular, the territory of a national nature park as a protected area, first of all, it is necessary to conduct an inventory of its individual components, as well as to prepare and publish summary reports. One of the important components of the entomofauna of any biotope or geographic region is Aculeata. When designing and creating the national nature park “Dvorichanskyi”, this group was not studied at all. Systematic studies of Aculeata were started by us in 2015. Traditional entomological methods of individual capture and Mörike traps were used for the studies. Studies were conducted on sandy wastelands with sparse vegetation, edges of pine and deciduous forests on the river Oskil terrace, steppe areas of limestone slopes, and in human settlements. The purpose of the study was an inventory of the family Scoliidae in the specified area. In general, 10 species of Scoliidae are known for Ukraine, and 9 for its continental part. The publication presents the results of our field studies on the territory of the national nature park “Dvorichanskyi” in 2015–2018 as an annotated list of six species of Scoliidae (Colpa (Colpa) sexmaculata (Fabricius, 1781), Colpa (Heterelis) quinquecincta (Fabricius, 1793), Megascolia (Regiscolia) maculata (Drury, 1773), Scolia (Discolia) hirta (Schrank, 1781), Scolia (Scolia) galbula (Pallas, 1771), Scolia (Scolia) sexmaculata (O.F.Müller, 1766)) from three genera (Colpa Dufour, 1841; Megascolia Betrem, 1928; Scolia Fabricius, 1775). One species, Megascolia maculata, is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine (2009) with the status “non-evaluated”. The list contains geographical data of research sites, information on biotope, and preliminary information on species abundance. The list is based on the author’s own specimens and observations. Literature sources and collections of the Museum of Nature of the Vasyl Karazin Kharkiv National University were studied. A brief history of studies of the modern territory of Kharkov region by scientists of the XIX century P.V.Ivanov, N.F.Beletsky, and V.A.Yaroshevsky is outlined.

Design and Implementation of Reduced Fuel Consumption in Cement Kiln with Efficient Cooling Technology Using PLC and HMI

Cement is the most important essential component to the building infrastructure development. Taking into consideration that the bond market will record an expanding rate of 15 - 20%, identified with the private structures improvement and to the start of extensive foundation extends the concrete creation is of extraordinary premium, both from the perspective of item's quality increment and crude material utilization. The main objective of this paper is to show how the process model can be inserted into advanced controllers to allow the successful control and optimization of the process, thereby upgrading the new technologies to the cement kiln, hot air from the Grate cooler is recycled to the Pre-heater, in order to reduce the fuel consumption in burner and high production rate of the cement can be achieved. The cement kiln consists of DRY and WET process. Initially, in pyro-processing the raw mix is fed into cement kiln and heated up to 1500℃ in the presence of limited supply of oxygen, the resultant clinker is now allowed to cooldown up to 100℃. Waste hot air from the Grate cooler is recycled to the Pre-heater, in order to reduce the fuel consumption in burner. Process mechanization is the place the modern territory offers the greatest and most fulfilling challenges as far as joining customary building abilities with mechanical development. The cement kiln is enhanced with the new technology using PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and the output is monitored and controlled with the help of the HMI (Human Machine Interface). The whole system has been implemented and tested using Siemen’s PLC.

Foreign and Domestic Policy of Ukraine at the Present Stage

In article internal political development of Ukraine which happened for more than quarter of the century of modern history is investigated and also the main directions of foreign policy of the country are analyzed. For the period which has passed from the moment of the collapse of the USSR in 1991 political development of Ukraine was followed by the conflicts, cardinal changes of the constitution. Bitter struggle went between executive and legislative branches of the power which sought to strengthen the positions due to redistribution of powers. Besides, heated debates went between supporters of the unitary device of Ukraine and adherents of federalization. The last saw a guarantee of maintaining territorial integrity of the country and a way of achievement of political stability in transition to the federal beginnings. This problem was especially relevant for the Ukrainian state which owing to historical development and formation of the modern territory, has inherited interregional contradictions. It was especially accurately shown during the periods of political events of 2004 and 2014, having fully reflected the available problems connected with fight of regional elite. Despite political shocks, the Ukrainian elite of the western and east regions supported unitary development of Ukraine, seeing in it a possibility of receiving complete control over the state institutes and financial flows. Ignoring of opportunities of the federal device was shown in 2014 when tough rejection of the radical nationalist parties which have carried out a coup in Kiev has caused a wave of protest performances in southeast regions. The subsequent political struggle between Kiev and regions of the East of Ukraine has developed into armed conflict. However, despite it, the official Ukrainian authorities haven't changed the negative attitude to a possibility of federalization of the state. It is difficult and contradictory the foreign policy of Ukraine which generally carried a westernized course was formed. Despite the short periods of rapprochement with Russia that strengthened criticism from opposition forces, the Ukrainian power adhered to a pro-European course, considering him as a guarantee of independent development and creation of a counterbalance of Russia. Similar approach has affected foreign policy priorities of Ukraine which expanded cooperation with the countries taking a hard line in relation to Russia. Finally, strengthening of the anti-Russian rhetoric from official Kiev has led to cooling of the Russian-Ukrainian relations which have ceased to have character of strategic partnership, and then and has led to tough opposition of two countries. In recent years the attention of the Ukrainian policy is directed to strengthening of the relations with the European countries. This vector has amplified after change of the power in Ukraine in 2014 when the Ukrainian authorities have headed for expansion of cooperation with the EU, of the USA and began to make efforts for rapprochement with NATO.

The impact of the Inca Empire in Northwest Argentina: Assessment of health status and food consumption at Esquina de Huajra (Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina)

AbstractThe Inca Empire annexed the modern territory of Northwest Argentina ca. 1450 AD. Inca presence manifested regionally with different intensity, highlighting that the Empire carried out different strategies when interacting with conquered populations even within the same region. Regional fluctuations in power centralization may affect the quality of life of local groups, regarding access to food, labour, conflict, or inequality. In this paper, we analyse stable isotopes, dental, and osteological information to evaluate if the individuals that inhabited the archaeological site Esquina de Huajra (Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy) experienced a deprived life quality under Inca administration. Isotopic results signal a balanced diet composed of both vegetal and animal resources, and skeletal indicators of health do not suggest a population undergoing stress.

ХРЕБЕТНІ ТВАРИНИ КІВЕРЦІВСЬКОГО НАЦІОНАЛЬНОГО ПРИРОДНОГО ПАРКУ «ЦУМАНСЬКА ПУЩА»

Introduction. Current state survey of Vertebrate animals of the Kivertsi National Park «Tsumanska pushcha» carried out during the 1979-2018. Our previous publications on vertebrates concerned more territory than the current National Park, and some published data from others researchers contained errors or related to adjacent territories. In addition, we found other species of vertebrates that were not registered in previous years. Therefore, it became necessary to specify the species composition of vertebrates and others data about them on the territory of the National Park. Purpose. The main aim was to establish a species composition, to clarify the status of stay and the rarity of vertebrate animals on the modern territory of Kivertsi National Park «Tsumanska pushcha», as well as their distribution in the basic faunal complexes. Methods. In Vertebrate animals studies common methods were used and rare species distinguished according to national and international criteria. Status of species of animals was determined on basis of all available observations of them. Status of breeding birds was established the by the international breeding assessment system – category A (possible breeding), B (probable breeding) C (confirmed breeding). Similar criteria for establishing the status was used for others classes of vertebrates. All data is processed in the Excel 2003 computer program in specially designed tabular forms. Results. The article presents the results of Vertebrate animal studies on the modern territory of the Kivertsi National Park «Tsumanska pushcha», which was conducted by author in 1979-2018 (before and after its found in 2015). There are 226 species of Vertebrate (fishes – 23, amphibians – 11, Reptiles – 7, Birds – 150 and Mammals – 35).Among them, 188 species are reproduced (113 – confirmed, 62 – probable, 13 – possible), 30 – passings, 3 – vagrants, 3 – summerings (birds, which registered in the breeding period, but without sings of nesting) and 2 – disappeared (Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and European mink Mustela lutreola). For all Vertebrate animals, the rarity component is identified (35 species included on Red Data Book of Ukraine, 11 – European Red List and 11 – IUCN Red List) and the structure of belonging to main faunal complexes is considered. The largest number of species (124) is registered in forest faunal complexes (among them 117 in mixed forests or its parts, 96 – deciduous, 89 – coniferous), less in reservoirs (79) and meadows (41) and the smallest in marshes (34). Originally. The article uses author’s development of the tables for generalization of the results of research of the Vertebrate that are recommended for used in institutions of the natural-reserve fund and research institutions. Conclusion. According to results of our studies of vertebrate animals on the modern territory of the Kivertsi National Park «Tsumanska pushcha», their species composition, status, the rare components and distribution in the main habitats are specified. This data are the basis for further research in the National Park.

The Importance of Space for Understanding Political Mobilisation

This special issue considers the categories of ‘homeland’ and ‘hostland’ as a means to approach questions of identity, loyalty and estrangement that both inspired and shaped political mobilisation in the early twentieth century world. The decade prior to the First World War and the wartime era can be considered as a transitional juncture, spreading across historians’ periodisations. These years represent the final frame of the long nineteenth century and the closure of the belle epoque, the era ending with the outbreak of the First World War, or the watershed year of 1917, which saw the Russian Revolution, the American entry into the war and the fading fortunes of the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, they represent the first chapter of the twentieth century, when nationalist and imperialist tensions sharpened and produced a new era of violent conflict. On the one hand, the early twentieth century was a time in which modern territoriality, which Charles S. Maier refers to as the organisation of a ‘space with a border that allows effective control of public and political life’, reached its apogee, as seen in rising nationalism and state centralisation.11. Maier, “Transformations of Territoriality,” 34. View all notes On the other hand, these were years characterised by movement across these same borders: mass migration, colonial expansionism, missionary movements and, in the other direction, imperial fragmentation and regionalism.

THE ROMAN FRONTIER IN BISTRIȚA – NĂSĂUD COUNTY. PART I. THE REPERTORY

The aim of this paper is to reopen the issues regarding the northern section of the frontiers of Dacia Porolissensis, most of the segment, located on the modern territory of Bistrița – Nasaud County. After almost 40 years, this study is returns to the questions about the watchtowers of the Roman frontier, their locations, their state of preservation and their functionality. The paper is largely an updated repertory of the military structures, with a series of observations regarding their role in the military system of Limes Romanus.

The logic of equal aesthetic rights

The author of the essay addresses the question of the autonomy of art and its possible paradoxical role in supporting or projecting social and political movements. The modern territory of art in his view is organized around the absence or rejection of any immanent, purely aesthetic value judgments. Thus the autonomy of art implies not an autonomous hierarchy of taste, but the undoing of every such hierarchy and the creation of a space for the regime of equal aesthetic rights for all artforms and artworks.

СУЧАСНИЙ ПЕРІОД ФОРМУВАННЯ СИСТЕМИ ЗАПОБІГАННЯ ЗЛОЧИНАМ, ЩО ВЧИНЯЮТЬСЯ ДЕРЖАВНИМИ СЛУЖБОВЦЯМИ

The article analyzes the modern period of forming the system for the prevention of crimes committing by public servants. It is noted that the modern period (from 1991 to the present) took into account the positive achievements of previous periods, which according to the results of the author’s historical and legal search include: 1) the ancient period – from the formation of states in the Ancient world to the formation on the territory of modern Ukraine the first centralized state formation – Kyiv Rus (IX century); 2) the pre- revolutionary period (before 1917); 3) the period of Ukrainian state formation (1917–1921); 4) the Soviet period (1922–1991). It was found that the socio-legal significance of the sources for criminological (and in particular anti-corruption) policy in the sphere of public service is that they: firstly, highlight the key issues that existed in retrospect or exist today in the sphere of public service (these problems are an institutional determinants of crimes committing by public servants) and need to be solved; secondly, identify the main ways and means of solving existing problems, outline priority areas for further development of the public service (relevant areas, ways and means are part of the general social level for the prevention of crimes committing by public servants). It is concluded that, since Ukraine’s independence, there has been a transformation of approaches to both the fundamental principles of the public service and the settlement of the principles of criminal-law and anti-corruption policy for the prevention of crimes committing by public servants. Proposals for improving the legal mechanism for the prevention of crimes committing by public servants have been formulated. In particular, to unify the system of scientific and practical views on such a mechanism and create the only effective scientifically based concept of crime prevention in the sphere of public service, it is proposed to develop a Strategy for Public Service Sphere Protection until 2025, and for its implementation – the State Program for Civil Service Sphere Protection until 2025.
