Currently, the ongoing paradigm change requires both opening up the main provisions formulated by T. Kuhn and their further development. The article formulates the signs of scientific revolutions and the necessary conditions for their implementation. The history of the new paradigm is given and the periodicity in its emergence is revealed. A conclusion is made about the need to create a new research direction - Parametry. Areas of research are indicated, which scientific results will lead to new scientific revolutions in the foreseeable future.

The Universe

Abbott’s 19th century book, Flatland, continues to be popularly interpreted as both a social commentary and a way of visualizing the 4th-dimension by analogy. I attempt here to integrate these two seemingly disparate readings. Flatland is better interpreted as a story with a central theme that social, perceptual, and conceptual innovations are linked to changes in geometry. In such cases as the shift from the two-dimensional world of Flatland to a three-dimensional Spaceland, the taxonomic restructuring of human importance from Linnaeaus to Darwin, or the part/whole proportional shift from Ptolemy’s earth as the center of the universe to Copernicus’s sun, new geometries have changed our thinking, seeing, and social values, and lie at the heart of innovations in both art and science. For example, the two greatest innovations in art — the Renaissance with geometric perspective, and the birth of modern art at the beginning of this century with n-dimensional and non-Euclidean geometries — were developed by artists who were thinking within new geometries. When we view the history of scientific revolutions as new geometries, rather than only as new ideas, we gain direct access to potential manipulations of the structures of human innovation itself. I will discuss the seven historical markers of scientific revolutions (suggested by Kuhn, Cohen, and Popper), and how these seven traits correlate and can now be seen within the new paradigm of fractals and nonlinear sciences.

Darwinian Paradigm

Both Richard Dawkins’s book The God Delusion and Philip Kennedy’s book A Modern Introduction to Theology: New Questions for Old Beliefs were published in 2006. This article aims to compare the two books and to argue that Kennedy does not oppose Dawkins’s views but, in fact, debates along similar lines. Kennedy is adamant that the Augustinian paradigm of Christianity no longer makes sense, because it is based on an outdated cosmology and anthropology. He firmly maintains that Christianity requires a new paradigm, which is informed by our current knowledge and worldview. Thomas Kuhn’s ideas of paradigm and paradigm changes in the history of natural sciences are utilised in comparing the books, seeing that Dawkins accepts and works within the Darwinian paradigm of evolutionary biology, and Kennedy argues that Christians and Christian theologians adhere to the Augustinian paradigm of Fall-Redemption-Judgement. It is argued that Dawkins should have referred to the paradigm change in the study of the Bible, which occurred towards the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, and the plea of theologians, like Kennedy, for a paradigm change in theology. The article concludes that only a paradigm change in Christianity, which is in line with the modern worldview, will enable Christians to keep the tradition alive.

Background: April 21, 2021 marks the centenary of the birth of Irina N. Blokhina – a world-famous scientist, Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Laureate of the USSR State Prize, and Honorary Citizen of the city of Nizhny Novgorod. For 44 years, Dr. Blokhina headed the Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. The objective of this paper is to reflect and analyze the historical role of the personality in the development of new research areas, achievement of outstanding scientific results, and education of younger generations of scientists on the example of the life path of Dr. Blokhina, whose name is associated with the most productive times in the history of the institute. Materials and methods: In preparing the present article, we analyzed extensive archival materials, scientific and media publications, and memoirs of contemporaries. Findings: We describe how the breadth of scientific outlook of this eminent scientist, her deep and comprehensive erudition, and a constant thirst for new knowledge allowed her to see and effectively solve the most pressing problems of fundamental science and practical health care. Professor Blokhina devoted her entire life to medical science by developing priority science trends in biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, biotechnology, and molecular biology. Conclusions: The personality of Academician Irina N. Blokhina demonstrates how purposefulness, creative attitude to assigned tasks, and a high degree of responsibility enable a person to achieve top results in science and life. Our findings may be particularly useful in education of the younger generation of scientists.

The authors note that in modern historical and legal science, a new research direction has emerged – politsiyevedeniye. At the same time, an important part of the history of the police, the history of state administration and the history of the state legal system – the police and legal theory is still not fully understood. The main stages of the formation and evolution of the police and legal theory in Russia are described in the article. It is concluded that an important contribution to the development of the police and legal theory was made by a prominent scientist, public and statesman Eduard N. Berendts (1860–1930). The study of the theoretical heritage of E. N. Berendts by modern researchers and the range of sources necessary for its comprehension are characterized. Attention is focused on the state and legal views of E. N. Berends, his contribution to the development of national polyceistics and scientific problems that need to be solved for a comprehensive description of the police and legal theory in Russia.

The Introduction provides an overview of the argument of the entire book. The author introduces the essential questions explored in the book concerning how theology changes over time. Also discussed is Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the work in the history of science that this book utilizes to understand changes in theology. The author draws on Kuhn’s term, “paradigm shift,” to explore ideas about theological paradigm change. The concepts of micro-traditions (specifically, natural law) and macro-traditions in theology are examined. This author explains that the book proceeds in an analogously historical fashion, moving from earlier paradigms of natural law to later ones.

The aim of the research is a retrospective analysis of the history and stages of development of digital land reclamation in Russia, the definition of «Digital land reclamation» and trends in its further development. In the framework of the retrospective analysis the main stages of melioration formation are determined. To achieve the maximum effect of the «digital reclamation» requires full cooperation of practical experience and scientific potential accumulated throughout the history of the reclamation complex, and the latest achievements of science and technology, which is currently possible only through the full digitalization of reclamation activities. The introduction of «digital reclamation» will achieve greater potential and effect in the modernization of the reclamation industry in the «hightech industry», through the use of innovative developments and optimal management decisions.

Opening Up

It is generally assumed that The Vampyre was published against John Polidori's will. This article brings evidence to support that he played, in fact, an active role in the publication of his tale, perhaps as a response to Frankenstein. In particular, by making use of the tools of textual criticism, it demonstrates how the ‘Extract of a Letter from Geneva’ accompanying The Vampyre in The New Monthly Magazine and in volume editions could not be written without having access to Polidori's Diary. Furthermore, it hypothesizes that the composition of The Vampyre, traditionally located in Geneva in the course of summer 1816, can be postdated to 1818, opening up new possibilities for reading the tale in the context of the relationship between Polidori, Byron, and the Shelleys.

This volume is an interdisciplinary assessment of the relationship between religion and the FBI. We recount the history of the FBI’s engagement with multiple religious communities and with aspects of public or “civic” religion such as morality and respectability. The book presents new research to explain roughly the history of the FBI’s interaction with religion over approximately one century, from the pre-Hoover period to the post-9/11 era. Along the way, the book explores vexed issues that go beyond the particulars of the FBI’s history—the juxtaposition of “religion” and “cult,” the ways in which race can shape the public’s perceptions of religion (and vica versa), the challenges of mediating between a religious orientation and a secular one, and the role and limits of academic scholarship as a way of addressing the differing worldviews of the FBI and some of the religious communities it encounters.
