Media and communication are attracting increasing amounts of attention from geographers but the work remains disorganized and lacks a unifying paradigm. This progress report suggests a new paradigm for geographical studies of media and communication and indicates how recent research fits under this umbrella. The report presents recent studies of literature, film and television, digital media, photography, comics, stamps and banknotes. The range of theoretical concerns in this body of work includes performance, agency, materiality, immateriality, networks, politics, emotions and affect. Collectively, these concerns point to communications not merely as transmissions through infrastructure, space and time, but rather as encounters between various human and nonhuman agents. The metaphysical question is exactly what such encounters do to participants – how agents are transformed by other agents’ communications. This leads to synthesis in a new paradigm for media/communication geography: the metaphysics of encounter.

Contemporary theoretical physics enters a deep crisis resulting from its positivistic and post-positivistic approach, which assumes that reality is mechanical and atomistic made of point-like particles or one-dimensional strings where the essence of matter, energy, space and time, gravity and other forces are undetectable mysteries. However, within this paper I will endeavour to show that the Universe (reality) is dialectical (relational) and is thus accessible by dialectical logic. The fundamental discovery of the Unity Principle derived on the base of dialectical logic is presented illustrating the exact mechanism how the physical Universe may work at its macro and micro levels. New fundamentals of theoretical physics are built

Abstract: Today, developments in science and technology have a significant impact on all aspects of the constellation of life, not to mention the complexity of the universe as a space for human life. Nature as a space of human life, has been considered as an object, so that the human being dominated and exploited radically. This condition is exacerbated by the lack of understanding human nature as multidimensional beings, one of which is to have a relationship in the nature of space and time, so it impact on human consciousness which have a continuing obligation to keep the harmony, the harmony of nature neglected. In connection with these conditions, the need for a strategic effort to build a new paradigm in order to raise awareness about the importance of nature through educational process based ekopedagogik in growing ecological awareness and character.Keyword: Ecopedagogy, ecological consciousness, character Abstrak: Dewasa ini, perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi telah memberikan dampak signifikan pada seluruh aspek konstelasi kehidupan, tak terkecuali kompleksitas pada alam sebagai ruang bagi kehidupan manusia. Alam sebagai ruang kehidupan manusia, telah dianggap sebagai objek, sehingga didominasi dan dieksploitasi manusia secara radikal. Kondisi ini diperparah dengan rendahnya pemahaman manusia akan hakikatnya sebagai makhluk multidimensional yang salah satunya ialah memiliki relasi dalam ruang dan waktu dengan alam, sehingga hal ini berimbas pada kesadaran manusia yang memiliki kewajiban untuk senantiasa menjaga keselarasan, keharmonisan alam yang terabaikan. Berkaitan dengan kondisi tersebut, perlu adanya sebuah upaya strategis untuk membangun paradigma baru guna menumbuhkan kesadaran tentang pentingnya menjaga alam melalui proses pendidikan berbasis ekopedagogik dalam menumbuhkan kesadaran ekologis dan karakter.

AbstractSolar filaments are discussed in terms of two contrasting paradigms. The standard paradigm is that filaments are formed by condensation of coronal plasma into magnetic fields that are twisted or dimpled as a consequence of motions of the fields’ sources in the photosphere. According to a new paradigm, filaments form in rising, twisted flux ropes and are a necessary intermediate stage in the transfer to interplanetary space of dynamo-generated magnetic flux. It is argued that the accumulation of magnetic helicity in filaments and their coronal surroundings leads to filament eruptions and coronal mass ejections. These ejections relieve the Sun of the flux generated by the dynamo and make way for the flux of the next cycle.

Abstract. Recent studies have ascertained a link between the motor system and imagery in children. A motor effect on imagery is demonstrated by the influence of stimuli-related movement constraints (i. e., constraints defined by the musculoskeletal system) on mental rotation, or by interference effects due to participants’ own body movements or body postures. This link is usually seen as qualitatively different or stronger in children as opposed to adults. In the present research, we put this interpretation to further scrutiny using a new paradigm: In a motor condition we asked our participants (kindergartners and third-graders) to manually rotate a circular board with a covered picture on it. This condition was compared with a perceptual condition where the board was rotated by an experimenter. Additionally, in a pure imagery condition, children were instructed to merely imagine the rotation of the board. The children’s task was to mark the presumed end position of a salient detail of the respective picture. The children’s performance was clearly the worst in the pure imagery condition. However, contrary to what embodiment theories would suggest, there was no difference in participants’ performance between the active rotation (i. e., motor) and the passive rotation (i. e., perception) condition. Control experiments revealed that this was also the case when, in the perception condition, gaze shifting was controlled for and when the board was rotated mechanically rather than by the experimenter. Our findings indicate that young children depend heavily on external support when imagining physical events. Furthermore, they indicate that motor-assisted imagery is not generally superior to perceptually driven dynamic imagery.

Abstract. Recently, Sui, He, and Humphreys (2012) introduced a new paradigm to measure perceptual self-prioritization processes. It seems that arbitrarily tagging shapes to self-relevant words (I, my, me, and so on) leads to speeded verification times when matching self-relevant word shape pairings (e.g., me – triangle) as compared to non-self-relevant word shape pairings (e.g., stranger – circle). In order to analyze the level at which self-prioritization takes place we analyzed whether the self-prioritization effect is due to a tagging of the self-relevant label and the particular associated shape or due to a tagging of the self with an abstract concept. In two experiments participants showed standard self-prioritization effects with varying stimulus features or different exemplars of a particular stimulus-category suggesting that self-prioritization also works at a conceptual level.
