Music is the best of all the fine arts. It is a masterpiece of the spirit of the human mind. Through which a person manifests his intangible feelings in tangible form. Music is unbroken and eternal. Music is a mirror of our society and culture. Therefore music is the source of humanism and is eternal. Therefore, music develops the spirit of Vishwakutumbakam (the whole world is a family), which leads to the creation of a civilized society. The definition of music is given by Pt. Sharangadev in his treatise Sangeet Raratnakar in this way. संगीत सभी ललित कलाओं में श्रेष्ठ कला है। यह मानव मन की भावना की उत्कृष्ट कृति है। जिसके माध्यम से व्यक्ति अपनी अमूर्त भावनाओं को मूर्त रूप में प्रकट करता है। संगीत अखण्ड एवं अनन्त है। संगीत अपने समाज व संस्कृति का दर्पण होता है। इसलिए संगीत मानवतावाद का पोषक है एवं अनन्त है। इसलिए संगीत से विश्वकुटुम्बकम (पूरा विश्व एक परिवार) की भावना का विकास होता है जिससे सभ्य समाज का निर्माण होता है। संगीत की परिभाषा पं. शारंगदेव ने अपने ग्रंथ संगीत ररत्नाकर में इस प्रकार दी है ‘‘गीतं वाद्यं तथा नृत्यं त्रयं संगीत मुच्येते।

From the beginning of the creation man has wandered in search of happiness. Its imagination has been keeping pace with this creation and this imagination has been trying to materialize the artistic tendency. To provide stability to the beauty of nature, fine arts were born and music is considered to be the highest place in the fine arts. In the words of Dr. Nisha Rawat ji, music is the moral law of the world, it fills the human mind with colorful colors in new colors and emotions. Music brings joy to the forecourt of despair and enlivens life and enthusiasm in every substance of the world. Nowadays, from morning to evening and sometimes 24 hours and continuous music echoes in our ears in many forms. In any place or any work, music continues to spread like the haze of the sky. सृष्टि के आरम्भ से मानव आनंद की खोज में भटकता रहा है। इसकी कल्पना, इस सृष्टि के साथ तालमेल स्थापित करती रही है और यह कल्पना ही, कलात्मक प्रवृत्ति को मूर्त रूप देने की कोशिश करती रही है। प्रकृति के सौन्दर्य को स्थायित्व प्रदान करते के लिए ललित कलाओं का जन्म हुआ और ललित कलाओं में सबसे ऊँचा स्थान माना गया है, संगीत का। डाॅ0 निशा रावत जी के शब्दों में संगीत विश्व का नैतिक विधान है,यह मानव मस्तिष्क में नवीन रंग और भावनाओं मंे रंगीन उडान भरता है। संगीत निराशा के प्रांगण में आनन्द का प्रपात प्रवाहित करता है तथा विश्व के प्रत्येक पदार्थ मे जीवन और उत्साह को मुखरित करता है। आजकल सुबह से शाम तक व कभी-कभी चैबीस घंटे व अनवरत संगीत की गूँज हमारे कानों में अनेेक रूपों में पडती रहती है। कोई भी स्थान हो या कोई भी कार्य हो सब जगह आकाश की धुन्ध की भाँति संगीत का प्रसार होता रहता है।

Abstract We don't yet have adequate theories of what the human mind is representing when it represents a social group. Worse still, many people think we do. This mistaken belief is a consequence of the state of play: Until now, researchers have relied on their own intuitions to link up the concept social group on the one hand, and the results of particular studies or models on the other. While necessary, this reliance on intuition has been purchased at considerable cost. When looked at soberly, existing theories of social groups are either (i) literal, but not remotely adequate (such as models built atop economic games), or (ii) simply metaphorical (typically a subsumption or containment metaphor). Intuition is filling in the gaps of an explicit theory. This paper presents a computational theory of what, literally, a group representation is in the context of conflict: it is the assignment of agents to specific roles within a small number of triadic interaction types. This “mental definition” of a group paves the way for a computational theory of social groups—in that it provides a theory of what exactly the information-processing problem of representing and reasoning about a group is. For psychologists, this paper offers a different way to conceptualize and study groups, and suggests that a non-tautological definition of a social group is possible. For cognitive scientists, this paper provides a computational benchmark against which natural and artificial intelligences can be held.

Introduction: the article deals with the methodological problem of the meaning of the goal of civil law research. The author analyzes the dissertation abstracts from the point of view of goal setting, which were completed in different periods of the development of Russian civil law science, identifies the qualitative characteristics of the stages, and proves the connection of the achieved results with the researcher’s knowledge of the methodological methods of goal setting. Purpose: to show the value of goal setting in scientific research in general and in civil research in particular; to consider the relationship of goal setting with the achievement of specific scientific results on the examples of dissertations defended in the specialty 12.00.03; to justify the need to set as goals the fundamental problems associated with the identification of patterns of development of relations that are part of the subject of civil law regulation and the creation of effective mechanisms that mediate them. Methods: system-structural, system-functional, generalization, abstraction, analogy, logical, statistical, classification, legal modeling, comparative legal, forecasting, formal legal, historical. Results: civil methodology should take into account the importance of the goal in the organization of scientific work. Only a competent possession of goal setting skills can ultimately ensure the creation of scientifically-based mechanisms for effective impact of civil law norms on regulated social relations. Conclusions: 1) any science, including the science of civil law, is not only designed to study and describe existing problems, including legislative, doctrinal, and law enforcement. Research, in order to meet the criterion of scientific character, must attempt to identify the laws of development, both regulated relations and mechanisms that mediate them; 2) the significance of the goal in the development of science has been proven by outstanding philosophers. In addition, the very definition of science indicates that goal setting is one of its essential characteristics; 3) the analysis of the author’s abstracts of leading Russian tsivilists showed how the skilful setting of research goals helped to achieve them consistently, as well as to create a high-quality categorical apparatus of civil law science; 4) the analysis of modern dissertations showed that not all young researchers see the value of goal-setting and this methodological disadvantage is important for the author to eliminate.

The inframammary fold (IMF) is one of the most important landmarks that defines the breast region. Most of the current IMF reconstructive techniques are based on the creation of fibrotic structures to maintain the breast. We present a surgical technique of IMF reconstruction by the creation of a fascial flap underpinned by an anatomical evaluation of this structure and a simple algorithm to define the localization of the new IMF. Fifteen patients underwent our procedure of IMF reconstruction from 2004 to 2016. The patients were followed during at least 6 months after IMF reconstruction. This technique is based on the creation of a pectoralis major fascial flap fixed to the dermis by inverted resorbable sutures. The fascial flap represents a new ligament of the IMF reconstituting a physiological support. Cosmetic outcomes and stability over time were assessed. The long-term aesthetic outcome is optimal on all the patients treated with a natural shape and a good definition of the new IMF. There were no noted complications or revision surgery during the follow-up. Our technique consists of an anatomical reconstitution of IMF recreating a natural support “balcony-like” formed by the pectoralis fascia fixed to the dermis. This technique is useful to correct reconstructive or aesthetic procedures of the breast, with great cosmetic outcome and high reliability underpinned by the use of our position algorithm which is easy to use and enables a symmetrical position of the IMF.

Tiziana Terranova draws attention to the necessity of questioning how algorithmically enabled automation works “in terms of control and monetization” and “what kind of time and energy” is being subsumed by it (Terranova 387). Cryptocurrencies are payment technologies that automate the production of money-like tokens (Bergstra and Weijland) following algorithmic rules to maintain a fixed production rate. Different kinds of energy and residues, which are not always acknowledged, are involved in this process. Here I distinguish between two closely linked layers in the Bitcoin token production: first, an algorithmic layer, which contains the instructions and rules for the creation of bitcoins; second, a hardware layer, which performs and embodies the former. While these layers work together, I will argue that they enact their own kind of logics of energy and waste. I will begin at the more visible end of the production cycle, the hardware layer, where the definition of waste and energy consumption is shared with many electronic devices; then I will trace back its algorithmic layer, which as I argue, follows a different logic.

The paper offers a definition of cosmology and its connections with mythology, and presents contemporary theories as a secular mythical narrative suitable for anthropological analysis. The paper is dedicated to emphasizing the folklore characteristics of modern cosmology and points to the importance of popular cosmological narratives as reading that contains culturally, philosophically and even religiously relevant elements. Special attention is paid to cosmogonic myths that describe the state of the universe before the creation of space and time. A parallel has been drawn between modern cosmology and conventional cosmogonic myths. In the end, the paper offers a concise definition of popular cosmology and recalls the most important authors and popularizers of modern theories. The main task of the paper is to present the basic concepts that can contribute to a complete understanding of the anthropological character of the presentation of contemporary cosmology that we encounter in popular narratives. The aim of such an analysis is to observe the depth of the significance of modern science for creating a philosophical picture of the world that inherits secular worldviews. By treating popular cosmology as a modern myth, the paper presents a new dimension of the significance of scientific theories for today's civilization. Such an approach unravels the strictly positivist halo of cosmology and points to its anthropological character. The concepts highlighted in the paper serve as an illustration of the significance that the image of the universe and the position of the Earth has for the history of civilization. By presenting the cultural dimension of cosmology, it opens a space for dialogue between different branches of scientific research, i.e. it contributes to the communication of philosophy and science. Equally important, by illuminating the folklore character of the narrative of the origin and history of the universe, a training ground is created for philosophers and theologians who, in their own ways, interpret the creation of everything around us. By drawing attention to authors such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, Lawrence Kraus, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku and others, as contemporary bards and narrators, the paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of popular cosmology as an expression of modern man's need for great stories, for narratives that transcend the spatial and temporal frames of one generation, and that is exactly what myths do.

AbstractBetween the mid-1970s and mid-1980s a number of publications appeared in which earlier ethnographies of illness and misfortune in Africa were criticised for placing too much emphasis on supernatural causation and neglecting natural causation and practical medical behaviour. Indeed, following Warren's (1974) first criticism of Field, there was what almost amounted to a crusade to prove that Africans traditionally recognised a separate medical domain in which they interpret illness primarily in empirical and practical rather than in social and moral terms.This article criticises the attempt to cast African aetiologies in a new light. Proceeding from a discussion of the distinction between naturalistic and personalistic aetiologies, around which the whole issue revolves, it examines the critics' claim that ethnographers have placed too much emphasis on supernatural causation in African aetiologies, that once these aetiologies are viewed more broadly they can in fact be seen to be largely naturalistic, and that one of the reasons for this bias is that earlier ethnographies, in particular Evans-Pritchard's Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic, have been wrongly interpreted. A discussion of Evans-Pritchard's own description of Zande aetiology leads to the conclusion that the recent reinterpretations of Zande aetiology are mistaken. This raises the question: why the sudden desire to delineate discrete medical systems, and why so much emphasis on natural causation and practical activity?Following a discussion of Wimbum aetiology and the concept of medicine, based on fieldwork in the Grassfields of Cameroon, the author argues that the emphasis on naturalistic causation and practical activity in the definition of African medical systems does not make them broader, as the protagonists claim, but narrower, and that the ‘broader’ descriptions of medical systems are not more accurate representations of how Africans interpret and cope with illness but biomedically determined constructs imposed on African culture through medical ethnography. The article concludes with a plea for the dissolution of the concept of ‘ethnomedical systems’.

One of the components of the positions of strengthening the competitiveness and financial independence of Russian industrial organizations is the definition of interrelated compositions in the context of the national and economic security of the country. Verification of the information flow of a data set is to a large extent a tool base for determining key facts in the event of challenges and threats. Therefore, the main goal of the work is to build an information base and mathematically determine the relationship between individual indicators to establish the level of financial security of Russian industrial production. Dialectical research methods determine the fundamental foundations of the issue being disclosed. The proposed methodology for the integral assessment of financial security reflects individual positions in the system of assessing financial risk and combines both positive and negative features of the development of industrial production. As a result of the multi-criteria assessment and the calculated integral indicator, the article singles out groups for assessing the financial risk of industrial organizations, which is the basis for assessing the competitiveness and financial stability both at the current time and in the forecast future.
