INCOTERMS conditions are internationally recognized delivery clauses. Their advantage is comprehensibility and uniform interpretation by the contracting parties, as well as easy incorporation into the contract. An undeniable advantage is the regular update. The individual updates reflect trends in international business practice and therefore clarify or repeal existing clauses or introduce new ones as needed. The aim of the article is to evaluate the development of the INCOTERMS clauses on their historical development and their impact on international commercial law relations, and through this to outline possible future developments. The authors also consider whether, given the rapid technological progress, the current ten-year cycle of revision of the INCOTERMS clauses is appropriate or whether it is too long. Among the new trends, the authors point to new types of transport, especially unmanned drones, and the continuing trend of a transparent and secure logistics chain.

AbstractToday different Al-fill techniques are used for the fill of submicron contacts and vias. The integration aspects of the most promising approaches, Al-reflow, cold/hot Al-planarization and high pressure Al-fill (Forcefill) are compared to the widely used W-plug technique. The filling properties are discussed with respect to future applications in ULSI devices. Special attention is given to the barrier stability in contacts and the influence on patterning. Various electrical data and reliability results are compared to metallizations with W-plugs. The implications of the Al-fill processes on chip design, especially on the size and shape of holes, the pattern density, the possibility of producing stacked contacts/vias and the metal to contact/via overlap are considered also. In an outlook for future developments, e.g. the introduction of low k dielectrics, the inverse metallization architecture with (dual) damascene interconnects and the emerging Cu metallizations, Alfill processes are facing new challenges which will be discussed.

AbstractThe focus of this review is on landscape genetics (LG), a relatively new discipline that arose approximately 10 years ago. LG spans the interface between population genetics and landscape ecology and thus incorporates the concepts, methods, and tools from both disciplines. On the basis of an understanding of the spatial distribution of genetic diversity, LG aims to explain how landscape and environmental characteristics influence microevolutionary processes and metapopulation dynamics, including gene flow (i.e., connectivity) and selection (i.e., local adaptations). LG is concerned with events that occurred during the recent time scale, and the individual is the operational unit. As a discipline that combines spatial genetic diversity with ecological features, LG is able to address questions relating to different evolutionary processes. We illustrate some of these here using examples taken from mammals: population structure; gene flow and the identification of barriers; fragmentation, connectivity, and corridors; local adaptation and selection; there are two different questions: applications in conservation genetics; and future developments in LG. We will then present the methods and tools commonly used in the different steps of LG analyses: the genetic and landscape sampling, the quantification of genetic variation, the characterization of spatial landscape structures, and finally, the correlation between genetic patterns and landscape features.

Background. A painting perception is a complex multilevel process of reception and transformation of information, which forms a subjective image of objects, serves as a communicative form of interaction between individuals, societies and cultures. A painting is a complicated system, which reflects the cultural situation in a society of a certain epoch, the worldview, conveys the complex of human feelings and beliefs, arises as a means of cognition. Everyone deliberately or involuntarily becomes a painting recipient, more or less engaging himself into the process of communication. Therefore, the approach to a painting is valid according to individual matrices of ideological notions complexes, concepts, principles, mentality, education and preparedness of a creator and a perceiver as a kind of non-verbal communication with a transfer of certain information during this process. Published scientific works refer to the narrow specifics of certain disciplines in the study of perception process of the painting, therefore, they do not constitute a holistic system of knowledge concerning this phenomenon. Among them we note the fundamental researches, which, in particular, set out aesthetic theories: perceptual (M. Beardsley), cognitive (R. Arnheim, D. Berlyne), informational (A. Moles); achievements in neuroaesthetics (V. Ramachandran), psychology of painting perception (V. Molyako, J. Gibson, S. Kosslyn). However, known presented painting perception algorithms do not take into account the entire range of components, parameters and the context of current communication process with art creation. It was revealed that the establishment of variants of components' interaction within the system «artist—painting—recipient», as different ways of cognition and coexistence in the information space, remains at the stage of formation and needs a fundamental development. Objectives. The objectives of the research are to identify concrete models of subjective-objective interaction within the system «artist—painting—recipient» as a result of perception the paintings of the groups «Zhyvopysnyi zapovidnyk» and «Paryzka komuna» in the artistic environment. As a material for conducting a practical investigation there were chosen the paintings of above-mentioned groups, because their art, both — as horizontal and vertical, formed a peculiar matrix of Ukrainian visuality. The art code of their works gives the opportunity to see the regularities of historical development of National visual experience. The range of painting form in all its aspects, from transavantgarde — to abstract, makes it possible to consider and analyze the difference between its specific characteristics and accordingly, different models of recipients' perception. Methods. Studying the disclosure of interactive features of interplay between painting and the recipient is related with certain difficulties, mainly of a methodical nature. Exceptionally an interdisciplinary research approach makes the most complete disclosure of the specifics of this process possible, determines its place in culture. During the research the system approach was used as well as such methods: experiment, modeling, structural-functional, statistical and comparative. In order to test the hypothesis, to reproduce the model of information system developed by author in real conditions, arose the need of organization of empirical study. An experiment was chosen as a method that assumes the allocation of significant factors which affect the results of the formation of a particular interaction model within the system «artist—painting—recipient». The investigation with recipients' poll aims to study cause-effect relationships in painting perception process, which assumes the practical modeling of the phenomenon and conditions of its course. Results. It is substantiated that the artistic strategy of two groups — narrative «Paryzka komuna» and non-narrative «Zhyvopysnyi zapovidnyk», has created a unique matrix of Ukrainian visuality, and the art code of paintings enables the revealing of patterns of historical development of National visual experience. Review and analysis of the specific features complex of modernist and postmodernist paintings allowed to identify the origins of four different perception models formation by recipients. Within the framework of the study there were critically comprehended known published painting perception algorithms. As a result of investigation, the informational painting perception system was formed and at the same time there was carried out its correlation with fundamental researches of Western scientists. In particular, they relate to perceptual, cognitive and informational aesthetic theories; achievements in neuroaesthetics and psychology of painting perception. Present model is an attempt to take into account the whole complex of components, parameters and context of communication process with the painting, as well as interpretive art models of corresponding period. Conclusions. Summarizing the results of the experiment, we can conclude that recipients from the range of artistic community clearly manifested the change of perception model — from nonclassical to post-nonclassical. It depended on presented painting — whether narrative artwork or «painting-opened-structure-object» was shown. The first one personifies the painters' works of «Paryzka komuna», and the second — artists' painting practice of «Zhyvopysnyi zapovidnyk». Also there were stated the individual manifestations of primordial and classical interaction painting models with their complexes of inherent specific features. Obtained results can form the support material for the evaluation of artworks — both within and outside the art institutions. Also the main theoretical positions can be relevant for artists in process of their work with the construction of further strategy, as well as for recipients interacting with painting

I.M. Efimov is a Soviet and Russian abroad writer. His historical works have profound philosophical content. This philosophical content is revealed when we compare his historiosophical treatises about the character and patterns of historical development and historical novels. Philosophical ideas of the writer appear on different poetic levels of the work, and above all - in the plot and character system. Historical novels and historical-philosophical treatises constitute a single historiosophical system and relate to each other as theoretical and empirical material, therefore they cannot be considered one without the other. However, many critics analyze the writer's historical works in isolation from his philosophical concept, which makes such an analysis incomplete and sometimes erroneous. In our study, an attempt was made to trace the connection between the individual characters of the artistic historical works of I. Efimov with his philosophical concept.

This chapter argues that human dignity can be grounded in historical experiences of the violation and attainment of dignity, and through arguments based on practical (as opposed to theoretical) reason about how to advance respect for dignity and reduce its violation. It also presents theological warrants for human dignity based on Christian faith, and argues that reflection by practical reason on human experience interacts with these Christian religious beliefs in ways that have led the Catholic community to become an important advocate of human dignity in recent decades. Continued interaction of practical reason, human experience, and faith can enable the Catholic Church to work with other communities on behalf of human dignity in addressing new challenges today, perhaps leading the church to further historical development of its understanding of human dignity and rights in new technological and social contexts.

This chapter presents a selection mainly of twentieth-century scholarly opinion, both Sunni and Shi’a, on wasaṭiyyah and its role and manifestation in the textual data and historical development of Islamic scholarship, as well as the management of community affairs. Wasaṭiyyah relates closely to justice, but it is multifaceted and tends to influence almost all aspects of the individual conduct, as well as relations in society and with the outside world. The chapter discusses how wasaṭiyyah begins in the inner self of the individual and from there spreads out to influence relations with others and one’s surrounding environment, concluding with the point that rejecting extremism and embracing moderation are the keys toward treating others with dignity, accepting our differences, and coexisting with each other in peace and harmony.

This paper shows the first results of a multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of the passenger service functions in the cabin. Therefore, both the placement of the components and the dimensions of the passenger supply channel (PSC) are varied. In order to modify the parameters, the individual components of the PSC are generated as objects using model based systems engineering. As a result, the information is stored in each object and can be used for the evaluation. In particular, the focus will be on passenger comfort and safety regulations. Collectively, this paper shows some possible variations for the arrangement of the PSC elements and discusses and compares the results obtained as well as possible future developments of this work.
