Introduction:the purpose of this article is to highlight the main difficulties and paradoxes, which are connected with temporal and spatial infinity and also to research their solutions in the context of the philosophy of Xenophanes from Colophon and Parmenides from Elea.Materials and Methods:the base of this article is various materials of Russian and foreign researchers, who have researched problem of the temporal infinity in the doctrine of Eleatics with different approaches. In this article the methodology of critical analysis of the researched materials is used, combined with the methods of comparative analysis of doctrine of Xenophanes and doctrine of Parmenides from Elea.Results:the point of view according to which the Being of Xenophanes and Parmenides exists in time and space and  has the shape of a non-hollow sphere is researched in this article. Together with justification of the first point of view, there is another point of view according to which the Being of Xenophanes and Parmenides hasunlimited length in time and space, but this Being has not got any form. According to this point of view, Xenophanes and Parmenides don't give this Being with shape of the sphere, but they just compare it with the sphere to reveal the perfection of such Being. We proved that Being of Xenophanes and Parmenides hasunlimited length in time and space, but it has the form of the sphere. This state of affairs indicates the presence of the limitation of this Being and, therefore, the presence of actual contradiction. Discussion and conclusions:we have proved that main contradictions concerning the temporal and spatial infinity are not ultimately resolved in doctrine of Xenophanes and Parmenides from Elea and still exist as a field for further discussion.

The article provides an overview and critical analysis — from the point of view of activity theory of A.N. Leontiev’s scientific school and, more broadly, from the standpoint of cultural and activity psychology — of the latest comparative psychological studies of "joint activity" mechanisms in humans and in apes performed by Michael Tomasello and his colleagues and co-authors. These studies have convincingly proven the fundamental differences between cooperation in animals and collaboration in humans, which confirms many provisions of the psychological activity theory developed in the 1930s. Yet, the comparative analysis of the researches by Tomasello’s group and Leontiev’s scientific school provided in the article reveals that in spite of the seemingly similar results obtained in these studies, their interpretation varies considerably. Unlike M. Tomasello, A.N. Leontiev and his disciples (D.B. Elkonin, A.V. Zaporozhets and others) always claimed that "predisposition" of individuals towards collaboration emerged as a result of their labor activity which required coordinating various actions of individual participants who therefore fulfilled rather social than biological purposes.

Original Information

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The paper offers a set of original information based on critical analysis of description two last versions of excellence models presented by the European Organisation for Quality Management (EFQM). The principle goal is to present the main advantages and weaknesses of the latest version of The EFQM Model, especially from a practical point of view with respect to a Quality 4.0 era.</p><p><strong>Methodology/Approach:</strong> Comparative analysis of two relevant documents (EFQM, 2012; EFQM, 2019a) was used as a key method. Discussions with 18 quality professionals from Czech production organisations served as a complementary approach.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> The basic structure of a new model was completely changed. But the description of certain recommendations by way of guidance points are superficial and confusing. It lays stress on the necessity to transform organisations for the future as well as on comprehensive feedback from key stakeholders.</p><p><strong>Research Limitation/implication:</strong> The latest version of The EFQM Model was published in November 2019, and general knowledge related to this version is naturally limited. Published studies or publicly available experience completely absent. That is why a more in-depth literature review focused on the latest version of The EFQM Model could not be included in this text.</p><strong>Originality/Value of paper:</strong> The paper brings an original set of information that was not published yet before. The value of this set should be examined not only from theoretical but primarily from a practical viewpoint.

Relevance. Grain is the key to strategic products to ensure food security. From this point of view, the creation of large grain farms is a matter for the country's selfsufficiency and it leading to a decrease in financial expense for import. Creation of such farms creates an abundance of productivity from the area and leads to obtaining increased reproductive seeds. The main policy of the government is to minimize dependency from import, create abundance of food and create favorable conditions for export potential.The purpose of the study: the development of grain production in order to ensure food security of the country and strengthen government support for this industry.Methods: comparative analysis, systems approach.Results. As shown in the research, if we pay attention to the activities of private entrepreneurship in the country, we can see result of the implementation of agrarian reforms after which various types of farms have been created in republic.The role of privateentrepreneurshipinthedevelopmentofproduction is great. Тhe article outlines the sowing area, production, productivity, import, export of grain and the level of selfsufficiency in this country from 2015 till 2017.

History Of

This article is an attempt at a critical analysis of the history of the Jewish Fighting Union (JFU) and a presentation of their authors based on documents kept in the archives of the Institute of National Remembrance in Warsaw. The author believes that an uncritical approach and such a treatment of these materials, which were generated under the communist regime and used for political purposes resulted in a perverted and lasting picture of the history of this fighting organisation of Zionists-revisionists both in Poland and Israel. The author has focused on a deconsturction of the most important and best known “testimonies regarding the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”, the development and JFU participation in this struggle, given by Henryk Iwaƒski, WΠadysΠaw Zajdler, Tadeusz Bednarczyk and Janusz Ketling–Szemley.A comparative analysis of these materials, supplemented by important details of their war-time and postwar biographies, leaves no doubt as to the fact that they should not be analysed in terms of their historical credibility and leads one to conclude that a profound revision of research approach to JFU history is necessary.

Paul Giles, “‘By Degrees’: Jane Austen’s Chronometric Style of World Literature” (pp. 265–293) This essay considers how Jane Austen’s work relates to “World Literature” by internalizing a chronometric style. Examining the emergence of the chronometer in the eighteenth century, it suggests how Austen drew on nautical frames of reference to combine disparate trajectories of local realism, geographical distance, and historical time. The essay thus argues that Austen’s fiction is interwoven with a reflexive mode of cartographic mapping, one that draws aesthetically on nautical instruments to remap time and space. This style involves charting various fluctuations of perspective that reorder history, memory, and genealogy, while also recalibrating Britain’s position in relation to the wider world. Moving on from an initial analysis of Austen’s juvenilia and early novels, the essay proceeds in its second part to discuss Mansfield Park (1814) in relation to Pacific exploration and trade. In its third part, it considers Emma (1815) in the context of comic distortions and the misreadings that arise from temporal and spatial compressions in the narrative, a form heightened by the novel’s reflexive wordplay. Hence the essay argues that Austen’s particular style of World Literature integrates chronometric cartography with domestic circumstances, an elusive idiom that also manifests itself in relation to the gender dynamics of Persuasion (1817) and the unfinished “Sanditon,” as discussed in the essay’s concluding pages. This is correlated finally with the way Austen’s novels are calibrated, either directly or indirectly, in relation to a global orbit.
