The article considers the problem of transition to the anthroponatural paradigm of development, which is relevant for the modern stage of the world civilization process. It is noted that the global environmental crisis, the signs of which were clearly identifi ed at the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries, was the result of unbalanced transformative activities of people, as a result of which the very possibility of life on the planet was threatened. The current situation has shown the need for fundamental changes both in the existing type of management, based on unregulated consumption of natural resources, and in public consciousness in the direction of reorienting it to a rational attitude towards the environment, which would ensure the survival and further progressive movement of civilization. In the development of a coevolutionary strategy for the interaction of society and nature, based on a new system of moral values, the natural scientific, religious, philosophical and literary and artistic heritage of cosmism has significant spiritual potential. Based on the analysis of the works of representatives of Russian cosmism, it is concluded that the idea of the active role of humanity in transforming the environment involves, in addition to improving the scientifi c and technical sphere, the development of worldview attitudes focused on understanding a man as an organic part of natural (cosmic) unity, developing according to general evolutionary laws. The current sociocultural situation, characterized by a number of global problems (environmental, raw materials, food, etc.), indicates the need to move to an anthroponatural paradigm of civilizational development, which could ensure the joint evolution of people and nature, the formation of appropriate ethical standards and principles of ecological thinking. Clearly, the future of mankind, the prospects of which were outlined by the representatives of cosmism, is impossible without reliance on a solid moral foundation, thanks to which the population of the Earth has the opportunity not only to overcome the crisis consequences of its own activities on the planet, to carry out rational and balanced environmental management, but also to enter the next round of its development – the active exploration of outer space.

The Revolution

Abstract The paper analyses the image of Maria Rosetti, the first female journalist in Romania, one of the personalities that played a crucial role for the outcome of the Revolution of 1848, and the way in which she remained in the public consciousness. Born in Guernsey, Scotland, the sister of the diplomat Effingham Grant and wife of the Romanian revolutionary Constantin Alexandru Rosetti “made the cause of Romania her own“. Despite being a foreigner, through everything she did, Maria Rosetti tried to help her adoptive country evolve and become a modern unitary state. Besides playing an active role in the escape of her husband and of other revolutionaries arrested by the Turks, she was also the mother of eight children (only four survived) in whom she instilled the most fervent patriotism. Last, but not least, the wife of C. A. Rosetti used her literary talent for pedagogical purposes in order to educate the younger generations according to the desiderata of a new Romanian society. Admired by her contemporaries and by her followers, her portrait was immortalized by C. D. Rosenthal in the famous painting “Revolutionary Romania”, becoming a symbol of the love and of the power of sacrifice for her country.

And Function

The present paper examines the quantity and function of the pottery found at the Greek Early Neolithic sites. Review of the quantitative, technological, typological, functional and contextual data suggest that Early Neolithic pottery was most probably a regular component of material culture. Thus, in contrast with the highly favoured hypothesis that Early Neolithic pots were used mainly for cult-related or socially related prospects, it is argued that pottery had, since this early period, a variety of functions. It is very probable that some vessels were used in ceremonies or were high-status objects. The majority of vessels, however, had an active role in daily life concerning the storage and transportation of supplies, the preparation of food (most probably excluding cooking) and the treatment of other raw materials.

Biological Analogy

As originally formulated, the world-systems model postulated a relationship in which core states exploited peripheries for raw materials and made the latter into dependent satellites. This approach views indigenous people in peripheries as passive recipients at the mercy of political and economic forces beyond their control. While in many cases the impetus for change was from cores to peripheries, there were certainly instances in which the margins actively (and occasionally successfully) resisted incorporation. At times, they also had the ability to select the precise form of their incorporation. While in many cases this did not alter the consequences for indigenous people, there were occasions when natives not only reacted successfully, but also outlined the terms of the encounter. This is a process that I call negotiated peripherality. Underlying this perspective is a biological analogy: just as biological populations experience the greatest change at the borders of their territories where the effects of gene flow are felt first and most dramatically, so too do cultural changes occur at an accelerated rate in contact zones. This paper explores the nature of negotiated change through two case studies. The archaeological example examines how ancient inhabitants of Cyprus selectively adopted features from the Near Eastern and Greek cultures for whose worldsystems the island served as a marginal periphery. The second example is anethnohistoric study of how Native Americans managed the terms of their involvement in the fur trade with Europeans. Both cases demonstrate the active role of peripheral people as decision-makers.

The article examines the state and prospects for the development of spirituality in modern Kazakhstani society in the context of the modernization of public consciousness and the spiritual revival of culture. Spirituality as one of the fundamental principles of the socio-cultural code of the people is rooted in the historical past. To master and understand the spiritual culture of modern society and to take a panoramic view of the future, it is necessary to extract from the cultural heritage the meaning-forming socio-cultural spiritual values. Spirituality acts as a moral concept in the philosophical searches of Abai and Shakarim. As you know, the basis of the moral teachings of Abai and Shakrim is the spirituality of the Kazakh people, which is preserved in traditions and customs in oral folk art and the works of thinkers of the Great Steppe. The article emphasizes that spirituality is a kind of measure for defining true humanity, an indicator of the degree of meaningfulness of a person’s being. The whole life of a person in the creative quests of Abai and Shakarim is the process of the birth of a personality, self-improvement of the inner spiritual world. By joining the spiritual, moral experience of other people as well as thinkers of the past, a person realizes his spiritual self-determination in the socio-cultural space of the modern world. The spiritual potential of the creative searches of Abai and Shakarim is relevant and in demand at the present stage of the modernization processes taking place in Kazakhstan.

The formation of legislation is a condition in the framework of national law development which can only be realized if supported by good methods, which are binding on all institutions authorized to make regulations. Indonesia is a state of law that should implement good national legal development, which is carried out in a planned, integrated and sustainable manner in the national legal system. Law No. 12 of 2011 states that research is an important element in the formation of the legislation process. Because it is impossible if a draft legislation is formed before the existence of a legal investigation. This research discussed about the role of legal research in the formation of legislation, as well as what are the benefits of legal research itself. The conclusion is the formation of laws and regulations cannot occur if there is no legal research, because legal research is an internal problem solver in the process of establishing legislation. This legal research itself plays an active role in obtaining valid, correct, rational, and logical data. In addition, legal research is also useful for obtaining raw materials from all aspects, both juridical, socio-psychological, and philosophical that are accurate and complete.

Solid waste disposal is a major challenge in many industrialized and developing nations, both in metropolitan regions as well as rural ones. The collection and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a serious issue facing metropolitan areas in many nations today. An effective MSW management strategy must satisfy all of these criteria: financial viability; technical feasibility; social and legal acceptability; and ecological friendliness. Small and large cities alike have a major difficulty in dealing with solid waste management. One of the current study topics is the valuation of food organic waste. Existing waste disposal methods include the typical landfill, incineration, composting, and other methods of handling solid waste. Composting and anaerobic digestion have traditionally been the most widely employed methods for the treatment and exploitation of the organic part of MSW (AD). The amount of organic solid waste (OSW) being generated globally is rising at an astronomical rate. Agricultural waste, domestic food waste, human and animal wastes, etc. comprise the majority of OSW. They're often used as animal feed, disposed of in landfills, or burnt. OAWs are made up of protein-, mineral-, and sugar-rich components that may be employed as substrates or raw materials in other processes.

Abstract Increasing population has led to the increasing demand for food, raw materials, and energy. Continuing land use changes, intensification of its exploitation, deforestation, fossil fuel combustion, and related carbon dioxide production have been contributing to change of water and energy balance of the globe, thus changing conditions for life. Other reasons for changing conditions on the Earth are natural changes in interactions between the Earth and outer space. Actual climate change is a part of other global changes resulting in both natural and anthropogenic changes. It is mostly felt as a change of global temperature and increase of precipitation intensities and totals. Flood periods are followed by long periods without precipitations. Increasing population as well as increasing consumption of resources lead to the increasing imbalance between our planet production and consumption. To preserve good conditions for population of the Earth, it is necessary to decrease consumption of energy, raw materials, and food to reach equilibrium between Earth´s ecosystem production and consumption of the ecosystem products.

This community service activity was carried out in Pringgarata Village, Pringgarata District, Central Lombok Regency in August 2019. This community service activity uses field learning methods which are strengthened by demonstrations of local commodity development and assisted by experts processing soybeans into soy milk and dregs. soybeans become naget. Based on the results of community service activities regarding agro-industrial development based on local commodities, it can be concluded that: 1) The extension participants have given positive responses to all stages of the activity which is indicated by the seriousness of the participants in listening and discussing existing problems and participating actively in the demonstration of making agro-industry products, 2) In general, extension participants have acquired knowledge and skills in producing from agro-industry unit products, and 3) The next suggestion is to help increase household income at extension sites and at the same time encourage farmers to provide raw materials for agro-industrial development hence an active role from the government and related parties in policy makers is needed to implement a model of income generation program through community empowerment that has been carried out through activities outreach

Simple Question

While sitting in a window seat during a flight from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. about twenty years ago, I had an experience that changed the course of my life. On the ground below, vast numbers of trucks and mile-long strings of railroad cars were moving along extensive networks of highways and tracks that threaded out in all directions, like a circulator system in some giant organism. Products from factories and farms were flowing through these arteries toward distant cities and coastal ports, and raw materials were flowing in the other direction to processing and manufacturing plants. In my mind’s eye, the web-like connections between electric power plants, transformers, cables, lines, phones, radios, televisions, and computers resembled the spine and branches of a central nervous system, and the centers of production, distribution, and exchange and all connections between them within the global economy. This conjured up the image of a superorganism feeding off the living system of the planet and extending its bodily organization and functions into every ecological niche. I realized, of course, that the global economic system is not an organism. It is a vast network of technological products and processes that members of our species created in an effort to enhance their material well-being. But this system does in ecological terms feed off the system of life on this planet and extend its organization into every ecological niche. After my plane landed at Dulles International Airport, I asked a simple question that required years of research to adequately answer. How did members of one species among the millions of species that have existed on this planet manage to increase their numbers and the scope and scale of their activities to the point where the capacity of the system of life on an entire planet to support their existence is being undermined? The answer is that our species, fully modern humans, evolved against all odds the capacity to acquire and use fully complex language systems.

Unlimited Growth

The rapid development of the ecological crisis, generated by the absolute antagonism between the techno-and biosphere against the background of the uncontested need to preserve the natural biota of the Earth as a guarantee of the survival of future generations, radically changes the public consciousness in the direction of ecologization of thinking in all spheres of human activity. In the field of complex development of subsurface resources, the aggravation of environmental problems is associated not only with the obvious discrepancy between the unlimited growth of needs and the limited resources of the lithosphere, but also with the complete absence of economically formulated motivations and biologically based incentives that compel the search for environmental technological solutions and the rejection of the formation of geoecology on the residual principle. The authors of the article published below propose a solution to these problems by applying a non-linear criterion for assessing the environmental consequences of man-made changes in the subsurface, taking into account the functional structure of the disturbed ecosystems.
