Abstract It is a widespread view that Marx did not apply dialectics to nature, and that Engels’s writings on this subject are a distortion of his outlook. This paper examines Marx’s discussion of elliptical motion and some other physical phenomena, and shows that he did indeed find contradictions and oppositions in nature, and thus recognised a dialectics of nature. In addition to analysing relevant passages in Marx’s texts, his study of the physics and mathematics of elliptical motion is reviewed and compared with Hegel’s position. Marx’s conception of how dialectical contradictions are resolved is reviewed in order to interpret his claim that the contradiction in elliptical motion is ‘solved’ but not ‘overcome’ by that motion. Textual evidence is presented that Marx regarded ‘real contradictions’ as resolved only by ‘development’, a process in which the conflict between the opposing sides of the contradiction becomes more intense. The consequences of this interpretation for Marx’s analysis of elliptical motion are explored, and some alternative interpretations are discussed.

The article considers the use of hardware and software Arduino in order to involve students in the study of such subjects as: physics and computer science; provide an opportunity improve and develop their own engineering ideas. The article proves that the use of hardware and software Arduino complex in teaching and research activity is an effective tool for improvement interest in such areas of activity as computer science, engineering, physics. The study found that an integrated approach allows arousing students’ interest in the study of natural sciences and mathematics, solving modern problems engineering and electronics, and developing them creativity. Work on your own projects allows children to show abilities and present their projects in various competitions, in addition motivates young researchers. Developed by students devices can significantly increase accuracy measurements during the experiment, increase the level of theoretical preparation for laboratory work, increase the general interest to perform laboratory work by students for due to the modernization of equipment and form new ones ideas about physical phenomena and processes. The results of students’ research activities can used during the teaching of physics in a specialized school, especially during school experiment.

I have been working for a long time about basic laws which direct existence, and some mathematical problems which are waited for a solution. I can count myself lucky, that I could make some important inferences during this time, and I published them in a few papers partially as some propositions. This work aimed to explain and discuss these inferences all together by relating them one another by some extra additions, corrections and explanations being physical phenomena are prior. There are many motivation instruments for exact physical inferences.

The ‘main structure and performances’ of any physical system may be (nearly) maintained for a given time interval only if this system is kept inside a kind of ‘shell’ that protects it and only, if the necessary (desired) exchange of energy-mass with its environment is realized through some transducers. The subsystem constituted by the shell and transducers constitutes a kind of ‘barrier’ between this physical system and its environment. Then, humans can exchange energy, mass, and then information with their environment only though their available transducers. The paper presents the chapters: about Plank energy, about inertia in rotation, translation, about waves and space dimensions, all based on classical physics and mathematics. These chapters present in a different manner some very well-known physical phenomena. Associated with a new and convenient technology, all these models may be considered as innovation strategy importance. Applications may be found in interplanetary telecommunications and treks but also for every day earth vehicles and life.

In secondary schools for the study, analysis of physical phenomena and laws, we widely use mathematical concepts. From a historical point of view, as we know, mathematics played an important role in the development of physics. This paper analyzes the relationship between the subjects of physics and mathematics in schoolwork.

Purpose – This paper aims to address challenges in strategic management and tries to find ways to make a breakthrough. Strategic management theorists and practitioners need new scientific theories. In the modern turbulent environment, the extant strategic management research (SMR) and strategic management theories can neither satisfy the practical needs nor the theoretical developmental needs of strategic management. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses critique viewpoints that are unfolded according to the logic of how theories will satisfy the practical and theoretical needs. Physics and mathematics are regarded as the most beautiful and perfect scientific research fields, which help predict physical phenomena such as solar eclipse precisely. Therefore, the paper uses physics and mathematics as benchmarks to explore how SMR should make efforts to push the research further. Findings – The paper provides a different viewpoint that will help strategic theorists and practitioners investigate and understand strategic phenomena more holistically. SMR should contribute to strategic theoretical and practical progress and not just to the game of academic game play. For the goal, the paper summarizes and refines the definition of strategic management in an alternative but practical and innovative perspective, and then delineates the criteria for SMR topic choice; identifies the dilemmas and challenges the SMR faces; and points out the new approaches the strategic management researchers should explore. Originality/value – The paper challenges the mainstream of SMR by identifying the shortcomings, dilemmas, and challenges of the current SMR, and then highlights new ways to make breakthrough in SMR. The study will make strategic management scholars rethink their research and do meaningful research from the perspectives of theoretical contribution and practical guidance.

Observations of the shapes and intensities of spectral lines provide a bounty of information about the outer layers of the sun. In order to utilize this information, however, one is faced with a seemingly monumental task. The sun’s chromosphere and corona are extremely complex, and the underlying physical phenomena are far from being understood. Velocity fields, magnetic fields, Inhomogeneous structure, hydromagnetic phenomena – these are some of the complications that must be faced. Other uncertainties involve the atomic physics upon which all of the deductions depend.

Traditionally ceramics have been shaped from powders and densified at temperatures close to their liquid point. New processing methods using various types of sols, gels, and organometallic precursors at low temperature which enable densificatlon at elevated temperatures well below their liquidus, hold the promise of producing ceramics and glasses of controlled and reproducible properties that are highly reliable for electronic, structural, space or medical applications. Ultrastructure processing of silicon alkoxides in acid medium and mixtures of Ludox HS-40 (120Å spheres from DuPont) and Kasil (38% K2O &62% SiO2) in basic medium have been aimed at producing materials with a range of well defined pore sizes (∼20-400Å) to study physical phenomena and materials behavior in well characterized confined geometries. We have studied Pt/C surface replicas of some of these porous sol-gels prepared at temperatures below their glass transition point.
