The Relationship between the Current through the Transformer Neutral Point and Natural Phenomena

With the help of the concepts ‘aura’ and ‘autopoiesis’, the relationship between poetry and natural phenomena can be defined as a ‘translation from nature’. Gennadij Ajgi translates his auratic manner of perceiving into poetry. For him, the poem becomes an epistemic medium transcending the sensory perception of nature for a hidden, spiritual level. Les Murray, conversely, demonstrates an autopoietic understanding of nature: The poet himself becomes the medium of the living being. Christian Lehnert takes up impulses from both orientations. He combines the opposing concepts so that they correspond to the hierarchical levels of his religious and metaphysical vision of the world. The three authors all aim to alter the attitude of humans towards nature through their ‘translation from nature into poetry’ so that humankind will open itself towards nature and raise it from an object which can be instrumentalised to an autonomous subject on equal footing with humanity itself.

Ecology shows us not only environmental problems; it shows that we need a new balance and harmony between individuals, beings, communities and all of Nature. We need a new contract with Nature (SERRES, 1991) and new Ethics (GUATTARI, 1990) for our lives. What is therefore new in Architecture? The environmental ethics have given us a universal and supra-generational vision of the management of our Nature and, as a consequence, a new way to construct our “second” nature. What is essential for this new architecture that the new ethics demand? Exploring this subject, the paper firstly analyzes how the relationship between ethics and architecture has been described by other authors. Secondly, how the relationship between mainstream architecture and ecology is evolving, from technical matters to social and more complex issues, to work towards ethics. Finally, the convergence between them (Ethics, Architecture and Nature) could provide the clues to understand the ends and means of eco-architecture. As a result of this analysis, we interpret that there are underlying keys in the post-eco-architecture. These summarize in new roles for the “locus” and the break of habitual limits of architecture, which have been replaced for new ones. There are no limits of scale: macro-structures such as mega-cities, as well as micro-organism are involved in the architectural process. The client of our construction is universal: we do not build only for our client, we must think about all beings, including animals since we know how our decisions may inflict damage to biodiversity. The site has no boundaries: we know how any local actions can have an effect in remote locations of the planet, since natural phenomena are interconnected. There is also no time limit: we must build now, but we must think about future generations.

Shed Light

In this paper, we suggest a speculative comparison between the short story The Color Out of Space (Howard Phillips Lovecraft, 1927) and the documentary film Fireball: Visitors From Darker Worlds (Werner Herzog and Clive Oppenheimer, 2020). We explore the similarities between Herzog’s specific interest in extreme phenomena of Nature and Lovecraftian Cosmicism. We observe that both authors have, to a certain extent, compatible views on the relationship between humans and nature: Herzog and Lovecraft seem to be interested in identifying and investigating humanity’s difficulty in coping with their insignificance when facing catastrophic events caused by indifferent Nature; both chose the same kind of landscape (iced lands, volcanic areas) and extreme natural phenomena (like meteorite falls); and they show a particular interest in characters connected to scientific experiences, and obsessed (even sometimes driven to madness) with the mysteries of nature. Our analysis does not suggest a direct influence of Lovecraft on Herzog, but a productive coincidence that can shed light on the film Fireball and its possible Lovecraftian resonances.

ABSTRACT: Today, humans are always faced with the complexity of the acute world situation. This situation is nothing but an increasingly worsening environmental crisis. This emergency situation is inseparable from the increasingly exalted anthropocentric ego. The assumption that eliminates intrinsic value to other ecosystems and the wrong way of life leads to the separation of relations between humans and the surrounding reality.The interdependent context between all ecosystems is degraded due to the wrong attitude of life from humans. The loss of the relationship brought a variety of environmental damage which caused the destruction of human existence itself. Poverty, hunger, war, global warming, floods and drought are a few of the critical phenomena of nature. For these increasingly emergency natural phenomena, this thesis is written as a critical reflection for humans to re-examine their nature as religious, social and ecological creatures as well as concrete action that must be done to reconstruct relations (reconciliation) with nature, with the surrounding environment and especially reconciliation with his own life through ecological metanoia and a new lifestyle. KEYWORDS: relation, antrophosentrism ego, ecological exigent, multidimensional perspective, awareness, reconciliation, repentance and new lifestyle.

The author compares and analyzes some definitions of the concept of cultural code offered by Russian and foreign linguists and semiologists. Aspects of this concept are singled out and described. Regulatory, semiotic and retransmitting functions of cultural codes are briefly characterized. The relationship between the concepts of cultural code and picture of the world is revealed. The author’s interpretation of the concept of cultural code is given, the ethnic specificity of cultural codes is revealed, its factors are described, participation of cultural codes in forming ethnic mentality is demonstrated. The author shows discrepancies in understanding reality due to the difference in the cultural codes used and points out that the role of cultural code can be performed by any perceptible area of reality: landscapes, natural phenomena, fauna, flora, artifacts (household utensils, tools, weapons, garments of clothes, dwelling places etc.) and actions with the listed items. All this is regarded in the article as semiotic means of thinking and communication. Methods. The analysis of cultural codes was carried out by using the methods of cross-cultural analysis and interlingual comparison on the material of English and Russian metaphoric set phrases. Conclusion. The conclusion is made concerning the influence of cultural codes on the choice of the path of historic development and, ultimately, on the fates of nations.

The Relationship

This paper first explores the relationship between cognition and motion. Our typical cognitive mode, based on sensory forms, is integrated and, therefore, non-motion in nature. This highlights stability and relativity for practical cognitive needs, but at the same time prevents us from developing cognition of the complete form of motion. The result is a fundamental cognitive barrier for us to understand motion. By discovering the underlying cognitive principles, however, we can revise the cognitive process and redevelop the cognitive mode to meet the purpose of direct cognition of motion. Based on this newly developed cognitive mode, we will learn motion features directly and understand motion laws and principles, to explain natural phenomena and establish wide-range connections between them. These include the underlying principles of motion, gravity, the creation of matter and material forms, universal motion, and spacetime.

Mathematical model of explanation of the world’s structure in Plato’s Timaeus

The Relationship

Plato?s cosmological dialogue The Timaeus initiates, among other things, the question of the status of mathematical entities: do they exist completely independently of the physical world whose structure they supposedly explain, are they present in a certain sense within the physical world, or are they, perhaps, exclusively psychological in nature. The author of the paper critically examines Johansen?s interpretation according to which the inherent structure of the human psyche, in the case of Plato?s Timaeus, is already mathematically ideal. Although Johansen?s interpretation is pervasive and well-grounded, the relationship between mathematical and sensory entities is considered mainly in the context of astronomy, disregarding Plato?s theory of micro-structures (the so-called geometric atomism). Thus, the author confronts Johansen?s interpretation with the opinions of other influential researchers of ancient philosophy, such as Cornford, Vlastos, Popper, Lloyd, Brisson, as well as the philosophers of the ancient era, Proclus, Aristotle, and others, in an effort to develop an interpretation that is as close as possible to the whole of Plato?s text. It seems that, when it comes to Plato?s Timaeus, one cannot discuss about the psychological origin of the mathematical model of explanation of natural phenomena without realizing that, in a quite complicated way, such mathematical model possesses a physical aspect as well. Plato himself, at the end of The Timaeus, claims that psychological disorders are caused by disruptions of the mathematically ideal proportions of bodily parts of the human organism (86b), which is only one of his claims that points to the psychophysical nature of mathematical entities.

Introduction. In recent decades, the problem of the formation of a holistic perception in students’ minds of the surrounding reality in the field of education has become acute. The buildup of scientific knowledge, which is a determinant of the structure of the content of education, occurs impetuously. Students’ thinking and consciousness become fragmented due to the exorbitant, permanently increasing amount of information that is presented for learning, but cannot be fully mastered by students. The root cause is imbalance in the curriculum levels of integration and differentiation (with a roll in the direction of the latter). To compensate the current imbalance and reverse the dangerous situation that threatens society with extremely negative consequences, an audit of the structure of educational content and the search for its new conceptual models are required.The aim of the publication was to show the importance of using the phenomenon of symmetry in the construction of structures of scientific knowledge and the content of education.Methodology and research methods. The study was based on the ideology of F. Klein “Erlangen programme”; E. Wigner’s scheme, showing the division of areas of scientific knowledge; generalised idea of symmetry by G. Weyl; the personal-activity approach to structuring the content of education, improved by V. S. Lednev; and also on the theoretical and methodological analysis of other scientific sources related to the topic under discussion.Results and scientific novelty. The general idea of symmetry, borrowed from geometry, but nonetheless having a general methodological rather than a particular character, is proposed as the basis for systematising sections of scientific knowledge and structuring foundation of the content of modern education. The ability of symmetry to combine the merits of the primary deductive concept and the general inductive concept reflects the tremendous work performed by mankind in the course of history to identify stable patterns, sets of invariants (the allocation of which is the basic condition for the development of intelligence) and the corresponding forms of symmetry. That is, the forms of generalised symmetry accumulate in a compact form all the available knowledge and serve as a tool developed by society for systematising the phenomena and laws of the surrounding reality. The examples convincingly demonstrated the integrative property of forms of symmetry, manifested in the relationship between its principles, the laws of nature and natural phenomena. The principles of symmetry set the structure to areas of the laws of nature and natural phenomena, which, in turn, in the form of cross-cutting lines (according to V. S. Lednev) can determine the content of education. In addition, it justifies the expediency of introducing a special cross-cutting Symmetry line, consisting of a course system – apical elements, supplemented by implicit elements scattered in courses of other cross-cutting lines. Such an approach will eliminate the narrow specialisation in the learning process and avoid fragmentary perception of educational information and the surrounding reality. Practical significance. The research materials presented in the publication can be useful both for scholars and educators, who study the content of education, as well as for practitioners involved in the selection of educational material in the development of educational programmes at various levels.

Chilean Margin

In the last few years, interest in the offshore Chilean margin has increased rapidly due to the presence of gas hydrates. We have modelled the gas hydrate stability zone off Chilean shores (from 33° S to 46° S) using a steady state approach to evaluate the effects of climate change on gas hydrate stability. Present day conditions were modelled using published literature and compared with available measurements. Then, we simulated the effects of climate change on gas hydrate stability in 50 and 100 years on the basis of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and National Aeronautics and Space Administration forecasts. An increase in temperature might cause the dissociation of gas hydrate that could strongly affect gas hydrate stability. Moreover, we found that the high seismicity of this area could have a strong effect on gas hydrate stability. Clearly, the Chilean margin should be considered as a natural laboratory for understanding the relationship between gas hydrate systems and complex natural phenomena, such as climate change, slope stability and earthquakes.

However, despite the presence of patterns that perfectly explain almost all the observed natural phenomena, the manifestation of random deviations remains a big problem. If, prior to the beginning of the twentieth century, each new theory relied on a solid experimental and factual foundation, today, probability has become an integral element, having a genuinely philosophical implication, for science. This article attempts to uncover the relationship between the accidental and the natural in terms of the natural course of development of philosophical ideas about necessity and chance.
