Endorsement of science is often associated with non-religiosity and lack of supernatural belief. However, the relevance of science for worldviews might also relate to the cultural context and/or personal investment in science. This study investigates the following question: Is endorsement of worldview components of science associated with unbelief among science-oriented respondents? Here, worldview components refer to science providing 1) a sense of meaning, 2) moral standards, and 3) literal or symbolic continuity after death. 387 Finnish adults recruited via pro-research organizations were included in the analysis. The results suggest that self-reported worldview functions of science are associated with unbelief also among science-oriented individuals. These findings lend support to the belief replacement hypothesis, which suggests that secular worldviews such as belief in science are of particular importance for unbelievers. However, the effect sizes are small and also other God belief groups endorse the significance of science for e.g., meaning in life.

The purpose of the article is to compare worldview, philosophical and scientific approaches to the definition of the concepts of celebration and event.  To suggest your own definition of the event. Methodology. The author uses general scientific research methods (analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, opposition, description, specification). The article also based on semantic, functional research methods. The scientific novelty. The concept of “down” is the closest in meaning to the event In the socio-cultural context, since it has the organizational aspect (the stage of preparation, conduct) that dominates the event. Conclusions. An event is a set of steps/actions aimed at creating family, corporate or official mass meetings. It has always been aimed at the development and implementation of a service.

In the data-intensive scientific research environment, the linkage of scientific data and scientific literature forms a complete body of scientific content. The literature and data serve scientific research together, which have become a hot issue of scientific research organizations. Starting from the metadata description elements of scientific data and scientific literature, this paper summarizes and analyses the association models of author association, keyword association and subject category association based on metadata description. On this basis, this paper describes the metadata management system architecture and system functions of linkage service of scientific data and scientific literature, providing some references for the relevant researchers.

BackgroundThe reported link between psychological trauma and onset of psychosis remains controversial.AimsTo examine associations between self-reported psychological trauma and psychotic symptoms as a function of prior evidence of vulnerability to psychosis (psychosis proneness).MethodAt baseline, 2524 adolescents aged 14–24 years provided self-reports on psychological trauma and psychosis proneness, and at follow-up (on average 42 months later) participants were interviewed for presence of psychotic symptoms.ResultsSelf-reported trauma was associated with psychotic symptoms, in particular at more severe levels (adjusted OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.16–3.08) and following trauma associated with intense fear, helplessness or horror. The risk difference between those with and without self-reported trauma at baseline was 7% in the group with baseline psychosis proneness, but only 1.8% in those without (adjusted test for difference between these two effect sizes: χ2=4.6, P=0.032).ConclusionsExposure to psychological trauma may increase the risk of psychotic symptoms in people vulnerable to psychosis.

The reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), creation of the Federal Agency of Scientific Organizations (FANO), a change in legislation, the integration of three academies: Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of medical Sciences (RAMS), Russian Academy of agricultural Sciences (RAAS); restructuring of research institutions - served as prerequisites for changing RAS library system and called for the regulation of interaction and relationships between libraries within the system of scientific organizations. In these new conditions, a new concept of library and information support of scientific research is required to identify mechanisms for the uniform distribution and optimal development of libraries under FANO jurisdiction.

Based on the results of adjustment, testing and industrial development of the main models of boiler units commissioned by Russian thermal power stations in recent years, the level of the domestic boiler plant is shown. The ways of improving these head samples are outlined. Prospective directions of development of domestic boiler plants are given, to which special attention should be paid to scientific research organizations and boiler plants.
