This paper aims to show that Fichte’s concept of Streben or striving of the I is the necessary condition of finite or individual consciousness. The I posits itself absolutely, but in doing so it posits the not-I as well, therefore it posits itself absolutely as self-limiting I. If there was no limitation on the infinite striving of the I’s activity, then there would be no I, at least as we know it. Firstly, the paper emphasizes why this activity or striving needs to be infinite, and at the same time determined. Then, why is it necessary for theoretical self-consciousness, regarding the idea of Anstoss, divided self and absolute I. Finally, why is it also necessary for practical standpoint, considering the ideas of practical striving, tendency, longing, drive, and desire (both in individual striving towards self-coherence and social drive for intersubjectivity). It will be concluded that the I possesses a “dual nature” or divided character: it is finite, but it strives towards infinity. The tension arising from this contradiction should be the moving force of the I.

We obtain a necessary condition for homology group to be zero on CR-warped product submanifold in Euclidean spaces in terms of second fundamental form of the submanifold and warping function. By using this condition, we show that such CR-warped product submanifold is a homotopy sphere.

Abstract In the present study we calculate the coefficients of the second fundamental form and curvature ellipse of spherical product surfaces in E4. Otsuki rotational surfaces and Ganchev-Milousheva rotational surfaces are the special type of spherical product surfaces in E4. Further, we give necessary and sufficient condition for the origin of NpM to lie on the curvature ellipse of such surfaces. Finally we get the necessary condition for Ganchev-Milousheva rotational surfaces in E4 to become flat or Chen type. We also give some examples of the projections of these surfaces in E3

В статье рассматриваются методологические проблемы изучения культурного наследия, аргументируется значение культурного наследия в условиях кризиса современной культуры. Указывая на ряд причин, определяющих актуальность и сложность обозначенных проблем, автор подходит к вопросу межкультурного диалога, ставя последний в оппозицию конфликтам культурных идентичностей. Проведённое исследование позволяет сделать вывод о том, что методология диалогического подхода к изучению культурного наследия позволяет: во-первых, понимать другую культуру, не отказываясь от своей во-вторых, определять диалог как механизм трансляции культурного наследия, который приводит к возрастанию смыслового разнообразия и приращению информации в культуре.The article discusses the methodological problems of studying cultural heritage, argues the importance of cultural heritage in the crisis of modern culture. The theoretical foundations of the study are the concepts and ideas proposed by M.M. Bakhtin (the concept of dialogue of cultures), M.Foucault (archaeological research method), D.S.Likhachev, Yu.M.Lotman and other scholars. The relevance and complexity of the identified problems are determined by a number of reasons, among which the author indicates a rethinking of the content of the phenomenon of cultural heritage and its dual nature, which implies not only the embodiment of stable and peculiar features of a particular culture, but also the possibility of dialogue with the culture of other peoples. The archeology of the study of cultural heritage acts as a meta-level that combines the general theory of heritage ideas and the discursive practices of the twentieth century. In the process of the research, the author approaches the issue of intercultural dialogue, defining the latter in opposition to conflicts of cultural identities. It is emphasised that the appeal to the methodological principle of dialogue allows considering cultural heritage as a necessary condition for cultures existence in the axiological dimension since it is dialogue that is a form of interaction of cultural values. It is determined that, from a methodological point of view, the updating of cultural heritage is aimed at explaining binary oppositions in culture (traditions / innovations, objectification / demarcation, coding / decoding, etc.) set by objective reasons for the existence of heritage in culture. The author shows that the updating of heritage through the dialogue of cultures is the mechanism of its transmission, which specifically restructures the values of the past, giving them a new meaning. It is noted that the endowment of a cultural value with a certain meaning occurs only when the value is included in a specific context. Moreover, the cultural value itself is singled out by the cultural heritage perceiver from many other values with its further interpretation in a different context. The updating of cultural heritage consists in the restructuring of ones own meanings when communicating with cultural heritage rather than in adding other peoples ideas, images and meanings. The author concludes that the methodology of the dialogical approach to the study of cultural heritage allows one to understand another culture without giving up ones own and to define dialogue as a mechanism for transmitting cultural heritage, which leads to increases in semantic diversity and in information in culture.

In this paper, we propose to discuss possible ways to develop the psyche of a modern person, more precisely, the features of the development of the subjective sphere on the example of the development of his spirituality in the conditions of the formation of modern society. The research is carried out in the context of L. S. Vygotsky’s cultural and historical approach to the study of the psyche, further consideration and clarification of which in its entirety was carried out in the works of human dialectics philosophers (E. V. Ilyenkov, A. S. Arsenyev, V. S. Bibler, F. T. Mikhailov). The paper shows that a necessary condition for the implementation of the dialectical approach to the study of the human psyche is its consideration in interaction with the surrounding world. In this regard, the analysis of the activity performed by the subject is presented as having a dual nature, in accordance with the duality of the world in which a person lives. Based on the analysis of the duality of the activity performed by the subject, it is proposed to consider the mechanism of interaction between its two sides: semantic and operational-technical in the logic of Dialogue (V. S. Bibler). The process of mental development of a person is characterized as a constant interaction of two sides of the activity (consciousness), where one of them is a stimulus for the development of the second, which allows us to characterize the entire cycle of activity. The analysis of the interaction process of the content of the performed activity in accordance with the changing meanings of the subject allows us to show differences in the logic of its development. The logic of cause-and-effect relations and goal-setting logic are characterized, each of which is applicable to a certain type of activity: with objects of the material world and living people. As a result, based on the analysis of observed phenomena in life, the factors that contribute to and hinder the mental development of a person are presented.

Stathis Psillos explores a fundamental ontological puzzle pertaining to powers, in the editors’ opinion perhaps the most fundamental one, namely the internal coherence of their dual nature. On the one hand, powers are intrinsic properties of their objects. They are really and truly predicated of their subjects because they are, strictly speaking, constituents of their subjects. Thus their beings are tied to their objects in a way that makes the rest of the world irrelevant for them, and this way is typically characterized through a counterfactual: even if everything else in the world were different, or if nothing else existed in the world, object X would possess any and all powers Φ‎ that it now possesses in the actual world. But, on the other hand, powers are also directed toward their manifestations. This notion of directed is somewhat vague and difficult to nail down, but at the very least it prima facie implies that powers in some important way depend on something external to them and their object. The implication and its externality are crystal clear in most cases: an active/passive power requires the existence of its co-relative as a necessary condition for that power’s ever being manifested. And insofar as the existence of a power depends on the possibility of its being manifested, the existence of any power Φ‎ now seems to require the existence of its co-relatives and, consequently, the bearers of those co-relatives.

Law in general, including constitutional rights and legal argumentation, has a dual nature. This is the underlying thesis of this collection of twenty-one chapters devoted to legal philosophy and constitutional law. Law connects a real dimension, defined by authoritative issuance and social efficacy, with an ideal dimension, defined by the claim to correctness, which essentially includes a claim to justice. The chapters of the first part of the book establish on this basis a non-positivistic concept of law. In the second part, the concept of constitutional rights is connected with proportionality analysis, explicated by principles theory and understood as a necessary condition of the rationality of the application of constitutional rights. In the third part, it is shown that rationality is possible in law because rational legal argumentation is possible. Here the basis is discourse theory. The final result is a system that brings the formal idea of legal certainty together with the substantive idea of justice.

AbstractFor life to develop, planets are a necessary condition. Likewise, for planets to form, stars must be surrounded by circumstellar disks, at least some time during their pre-main sequence evolution. Much progress has been made recently in the study of young solar-like stars. In the optical domain, these stars are known as «T Tauri stars». A significant number show IR excess, and other phenomena indirectly suggesting the presence of circumstellar disks. The current wisdom is that there is an evolutionary sequence from protostars to T Tauri stars. This sequence is characterized by the initial presence of disks, with lifetimes ~ 1-10 Myr after the intial collapse of a dense envelope having given birth to a star. While they are present, about 30% of the disks have masses larger than the minimum solar nebula. Their disappearance may correspond to the growth of dust grains, followed by planetesimal and planet formation, but this is not yet demonstrated.

The environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) has evolved as the natural extension of the scanning electron microscope (SEM), both historically and technologically. ESEM allows the introduction of a gaseous environment in the specimen chamber, whereas SEM operates in vacuum. One of the detection systems in ESEM, namely, the gaseous detection device (GDD) is based on the presence of gas as a detection medium. This might be interpreted as a necessary condition for the ESEM to remain operational and, hence, one might have to change instruments for operation at low or high vacuum. Initially, we may maintain the presence of a conventional secondary electron (E-T) detector in a "stand-by" position to switch on when the vacuum becomes satisfactory for its operation. However, the "rough" or "low vacuum" range of pressure may still be considered as inaccessible by both the GDD and the E-T detector, because the former has presumably very small gain and the latter still breaks down.

Abstract The global prevalence of obesity has been rising at an alarming rate, accompanied by an increase in both childhood and maternal obesity. The concept of metabolic programming is highly topical, and in this context, describes a predisposition of offspring of obese mothers to the development of obesity independent of environmental factors. Research published in this issue of Clinical Science conducted by Litzenburger and colleagues (Clin. Sci. (Lond.) (2020) 134, 921–939) have identified sex-dependent differences in metabolic programming and identify putative signaling pathways involved in the differential phenotype of adipose tissue between males and females. Delineating the distinction between metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity is a topic of emerging interest, and the precise nature of adipocytes are key to pathogenesis, independent of adipose tissue volume.
