In modern geographical research, the study of transformations of geosystems occupies a special place, corresponding to the current stage of development of scientific knowledge. The study of the transformation of geosystems is based on the features of selforganization of geosystems – through the manifestation of connections and internal mechanisms, parts merge into a single space-time whole. The article presents the results of the study of the nature of self-organization of geosystems of the Southern Baikal region, which reflects the whole complex of its factors, that were formed and transformed in the process of formation of physical and geographical conditions of the territory. Their identification took into account the methodological principles of self-organization research, the features of geosystems of the region, the nature of tectonic processes, various data on climate, soils, petrological composition of rocks, permafrost, the history of the development of components of geosystems and comparison of similar landscapes. To characterize the self-organization of geosystems in the research area, the following factors were considered: inter-component relationships, interaction with the environment, and the resonance of processes. As a key area for the study, the territory of the Southern Baikal region was taken within the northern macroscline of Khamar-Daban, facing the lake Baikal, from the Khara-Murin river to the river Snow. On the basis of data synthesis, a map of the key site is compiled, which shows the nature of self-organization of geosystems, which manifests itself in three types. The first characterizes the harmonious development of the geosystem, its preservation and restoration after external influence. The second type, which is characterized by rigid relationships of components of geosystems, is associated with stagnation in the development of the geosystem, the preservation of existing relationships. The third type is determined by the destruction of inter-component and intersystem and the formation of new discrete relationships of geosystems. Within the Southern Baikal region, there is a change in the self-organization of geosystems, accompanied by the formation of rigid and discrete relationships. Anthropogenic impact reinforces the existing trends, creating conditions for rapid, often irreversible transformations of geosystems.

AbstractHealth technology assessment as a formalized set of activities has a relatively short history. At its current stage of development, it is clear that it has global dimensions and impact. In this paper we review the history of health technology assessment, its development as a form of health services research, and its “institutionalization.” We then identify the reasons for its internationalization, review current international initiatives, and propose actions to be taken to improve cooperation among countries.

New Age connected education with science, which is understood as a rational project. Science of New Age is principally public. Connected with it the ideal of objective truth claims the rational description of scientific methods. Historical transformation of ideals and types of rationality changed also the educational strategies of New Age. Foundations of such strategies are the foundations of scientific cognition: ideals and norms of scientific research, scientific world picture and philosophical foundations of science.  Traditions are extremely strong in education, but critique of them and understanding, that education must be changed, proclaim themselves very soundly today, particularly in jubilee report by Club of Rome “Come on!” For members and supporters of Ukrainian Synergetic Society, the ideas, expressed in report of Club of Rome, are consonant to their synergetic imaginations about complex self-organizing world and to view on modern stage of development of science as on postnonclassical one. Methodological principles of postnonclassical science are contrast to reductionism, postnonclassical world picture is based on dialectic ideas of becoming and wholeness, postnonclassical type of rationality approves objectiveness of knowledge by taking into account the human values of researchers. Specificity of objects of postnonclassical science is brunching of nonlinear dynamics of self-organizing systems. It needs to elaborate in education process the certain cognitive orientations. Partially such orientations were formulated in methodological principles of nonlinear thinking, which orient to be ready for emergence of a new whole as a result o self-organization. Current nonlinear scientific world picture considers the processes of self-organization of all levels of world's structure organization as condition of its existence. Understanding of such processes requires the elaboration of evolutionistic holistic worldview. Of course, learning of modern nonlinear theories can't be the task of common education. It is important, that readiness to favorable reception of evolution and holistic ideas is elaborated in process of such education.

The subject of this publication is synergetics as a methodological approach to the study of social, legal, historical and legal systems, and the aim is to identify its characteristics as a methodological approach. Methods such as philosophical dialectics, analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, synergetic, systemic, comparative historical, special legal, etc. were used in the study. As a result, it is concluded that synergetics is considered by scientists as a scientific picture of the world, independent science, methodology, interdisciplinary approach, private science theory, general scientific theory, scientific paradigm, so today it is in a state of formation. It was found that as a methodological approach, synergetics directs efforts to the scientific study of such an aspect of development as "self-organization", as well as the self-organization of such a part of matter as systems of different nature, meeting the criteria of complexity, openness, dissipation, to study the self-organization of systems within the scheme: "order" – "chaos" – "order". It is proved that in the study of social systems the main task of the synergetic approach is to identify a peculiar type of patterns of social self-organization, which differ from the patterns of self-organization in natural systems. It is substantiated that the synergetic approach has a number of heuristic possibilities in the study of some legal systems and in general directs efforts to identify the specifics of the laws of self-organization in the legal sphere, the implementation of the mechanism of legal self-organization as a result of mutual transitions of the legal order and chaos. It is revealed that the specific problems that arise when using this approach are the definition of "legal chaos", the identification of the mechanism of exchange of "legal information, matter and energy" between the legal system and the "environment", the essence of the synthesis of legal order and chaos. It is concluded that the synergetic approach has features in the study of historical and legal systems in the field of comparative history of law, which are due to the limitation of the "historical plane" of research and identify the impact of fluctuations on certain scenarios. It is determined that the nonlinearity of the evolution of historical and legal systems determines the perception of the view of the comparative history of law as an alternative and multivariate process. This allows the development in the field of alternative comparative history of law: the search for alternative in the future potentially positive options for the development of historical and legal systems. At the same time, the basis should be the modelling of comparative situations with the inclusion of the past and taking into account the impact of the future on the present. It is proved that the application of a synergetic approach in comparative and historical legal research, where the object is historical and legal systems, has a number of specific problems. It has been found that such problems are the discovery of the essence of the exchange between the "historical and legal system" and the "environment" of matter, information, energy; restrictions on the use of mathematical methods; search for criteria for distinguishing between objective and subjective factors that have influenced the choice of this particular "scenario" at the bifurcation point; delimitation of self-organization of structural elements of the system and their organization as a consequence of administrative intervention.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative could be treated ambiguously. On the one hand, it is intended to transform the newly acquired economic potential of that country into its higher status in the world. China invites a lot of nations to build up gigantic transit corridors by joint efforts, and doing so it applies productively its capital and technologies. International transactions in RMB are also being expanded. But, on the other hand, the Belt and Road Initiative is also a necessity for China to cope with some evident problems of its current stage of development, such as industrial overcapacity, overdependence on imports of raw materials from a narrow circle of countries, and a subordinate status in global value chains. For Russia participation in the Belt and Road Initiative may be fruitful, since the very character of that project provides us with a space to manoeuvre. By now, Russian exports to China consist primarily of fuels and other commodities. More active industrial policy is needed to correct this situation . A flexible framework of the Belt and Road Initiative is more suitable for this objective to be achieved, rather than traditional forms of regional integration, such as a free trade zone.

This article argues for the centrality of notions of personality and persons in the work of Walter Pater and asks how this fits in with his critical reception. Pater's writing is grounded in ideas of personality and persons, of personification, of personal gods and personalised history, of contending voices, and of the possibility of an interior conversation with the logos. Artworks move us as personalities do in life; the principle epistemological analogy is with the knowledge of persons – indeed, ideas are only grasped through the form they take in the individuals in whom they are manifested. The conscience is outwardly embodied in other persons, but also experienced as a conversation with a person inhabiting the most intimate and sovereign dimension of the self. Even when personality is conceived as the walls of a prison-house, it remains a powerful force, able to modify others. This article explores the ways in which these questions are ultimately connected to the paradoxes of Pater's own person and personality, and to the matter of his ‘style’.
