In the article, it is proposed to use a numerical method based on the approach of S.K. Godunov to simulate boiling in a pipeline. The paper presents a statement of the real problem of modeling a water hammer, considering possible boiling of the transported liquid on a real object — an oil pipeline. When solving the problem, two variants of flow modeling when closing the valve installed at the end of the pipeline were carried out. In the first Наука и техника 14 Безопасность Труда в Промышленности • Occupational Safety in Industry • № 11'2020 • www.safety.ru case, the possibility of liquid boiling was not considered. In the second case, this opportunity was considered. The performed numerical simulation showed that in the pipeline in emergency situations, liquid columns can be formed, separated by the cavitation zones and oscillating in different phases, respectively, at the collapse of the cavitation zones, which serve as a kind of pressure dampers, the collisions of liquid columns occur, which can lead, depending on the ratio of velocities, to hydraulic shocks that occur not on the valves, but on the linear part of the pipeline (local hydraulic shocks). The waves from these collapses, interacting with each other, create the new pressure peaks that do not coincide with the pattern of simple wave circulation, which are predicted in the simulations that do not consider possible liquid boiling. As a resul t, the pressures reached in the pipeline during fluid hammer is significantly different from what it would be in the absence of boiling. When boiling is considered, the maximum reached pressures are 40 % higher. Moreover, this excess is repeated. The detailed analysis of the pressure profile in the pipeline is given in the article. Based on the results of solving this problem, it is concluded that when modeling pre–emergency and emergency situations in the pipeline, it is necessary to consider the process of possible liquid boiling, since sometimes, as in the presented case, the values of the pressure surges can be higher than the values of the pressure surges in the liquid without considering boiling, which increases the likelihood of emergency depressurization.

Western Marxism

This article others a brief historical account of the complex relationship between Michel Foucault and certain theorists in the Western Marxist philosophical tradition. In the context of the history of the “short twentieth century,” Western Marxism is an intellectual trend based on an interpretation of non-Western revolutionary praxis (by Bolsheviks, Maoists, Guevaristas, etc.). Comparative analysis of several schematic portraits - of Lenin’s revolutionary intellectual, of traditional as opposed to organic intellectuals in Gramsci, and of Foucault’s public intellectual - shows that Foucault in a certain instances was not an external enemy of the Western Marxist tradition, but rather its internal critic. Foucault comes across as a revisionist who engaged in a debate with Lenin about the strategy of the revolutionary movement in France of the 1960s and the 70s. Foucault’s criticism of Leninism unexpectedly turns out to be consistent with the basic struggle of post-WWII Western Marxism to find an alternative to the Bolshevik experience of revolution. This deliberate concurrence makes Foucault one of the significant figures in the history of late Western Marxism, but this becomes a real problem for current historians of neo-Marxist thought when coupled with his generally anti-Marxist views. The article discusses two possible solutions to this problem devised by Perry Anderson and Daniel Bensaid. Anderson’s description of the role of Foucault in the fate of Western Marxism is limited to conceptual questions about the relationship between Marxism and (post) structuralism. Bensaid tries to explain how Foucault fits into the Marxist tradition by appealing to social changes, specifically the changing ideology of capitalist society (in the spirit of The New Spirit of Capitalism by Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello). Building on Bensaid’s work, the article shows the link between Foucault’s position on public intellectuals and the crisis of the revolutionary movement of the last half-century, in particular by reference to the famous “Iranian episode” in Foucault’s biography.

Discounting and the Paradox of the Indefinitely Postponed Splurge

It is sometimes argued in support of discounting future costs and benefits that if we gave the same weight to the future as to the present, we would invest nearly all our income, but never spend it. Rather than enjoying the fruits of our investments, we would always do better to reinvest them. Undiscounted utilitarianism (UU), so the argument goes, is collectively self-defeating. This attempted reductio ad absurdum fails. Regardless of whether each generation successfully followed UU, or merely attempted to follow it, we could never get trapped in endless saving. The real problem is different: without the ability to foresee the end of the world, UU cannot tell us how much to save. Discounting is a defensible response, but only when coupled with a rule against risking catastrophe.

Consciousness is perhaps the most familiar aspect of our existence, yet we still do not know its biological basis. This chapter outlines a biomimetic approach to consciousness science, identifying three principles linking properties of conscious experience to potential biological mechanisms. First, conscious experiences generate large quantities of information in virtue of being simultaneously integrated and differentiated. Second, the brain continuously generates predictions about the world and self, which account for the specific content of conscious scenes. Third, the conscious self depends on active inference of self-related signals at multiple levels. Research following these principles helps move from establishing correlations between brain responses and consciousness towards explanations which account for phenomenological properties—addressing what can be called the “real problem” of consciousness. The picture that emerges is one in which consciousness, mind, and life, are tightly bound together—with implications for any possible future “conscious machines.”

This study discusses the problem of determining which container port should be developed within an existing network and when this should be carried out. A case study of Indonesia’s port network is presented, where several new ports are to be improved to ensure smooth interisland transportation flows of goods. The effects of the investment on economic consequences and increased network connectivity are assessed. When improving the ports, we consider that the available budget limits the investment. The network connectivity is evaluated by considering the number of reachable ports from the developed ports or transportation time required from other ports within the same port cluster. Based on our knowledge, our study is the first one that discusses the investment problem in multiple container ports under single management, as well as its effects regarding the increase in container flows. The problem is introduced and three mathematical models are proposed and used to solve a real problem. The results show that different models have different improved aspects of container transportation flows—e.g., a balanced improvement of the whole port network (Model 2) and appropriate investment priority for port clusters (Model 3).
