Abstract. The article analyzes the autobiography of the famous Russian philosopher, theologian and scientist Pavel Florensky, as well as those of his texts that retain traces of memories. According to Florensky, the personal biography is based on family history and continues in children. He addresses his own biography to his children. Memories based on diary entries are designed as a memory diary, that is, as material for future memories. The past becomes actual in autobiography, turns into a kind of present. The past, from the point of view of its realization in the present, gains meaning and significance. The au-thor is active in relation to his own past, transforming it from a collection of disparate facts into a se-quence of events. A person can only see the true meaning of such events from a great distance. Therefore, the philosopher remembers not so much the circumstances of his life as the inner impressions of the en-counter with reality. The most powerful personality-forming experiences are associated with childhood. Even the moment of birth can decisively affect the character of a person and the range of his interests. The foundations of a person's worldview are laid precisely in childhood. Florensky not only writes mem-oirs about himself, but also tries to analyze the problems of time and memory. A person is immersed in time, but he is able to move into the past through memory and into the future through faith. An autobi-ography can never be written to the end because its author lives on. However, reaching the depths of life, he is able to build his path in such a way that at the end of this path he will unite with the fullness of time, with eternity.

AbstractCOVID-19 is the third spread of animal coronavirus over the past two decades, resulting in a major epidemic in humans after SARS and MERS. COVID-19 is responsible of the biggest biological earthquake in the world. In the global fight against COVID-19 some serious mistakes have been done like, the countries’ misguided attempts to protect their economies, lack of international co-operation. These mistakes that the people had done in previous deadly outbreaks. The result has been a greater economic devastation and the collapse of national and international trust for all. In this constantly changing environment, if we have a better understanding of the host-virus interactions than we can be more prepared to the future deadly outbreaks. When encountered with a disease which the causative is unknown, the reaction time and the precautions that should be taken matters a great deal. In this review we aimed to reveal the molecular footprints of COVID-19 scientifically and to get an understanding of the pandemia. This review might be a highlight to the possible outbreaks.

Serving the best interests of the consumer is the responsibility of industry and of regulatory officials. This requires that both be adaptable to change; have a long-rang point of view; and concentrate on problems of the future rather than those of the past. Emphasis is needed on fundamentals in milk quality and sanitation; increasing consumer appeal; and continual increase in efficiency of dairy production.

Our merchantable timber supplies in Ontario are becoming depleted and our forest industries which are presently standing still will recede into a stage of still less importance. Overcutting in spruce and jackpine is equally serious. Dwindling timber supplies are largely the result of an inadequate reforestation policy. During the past 10 years there have been some increases in reforestation but they are only drops in the bucket. If we the people of Ontario want harvestable forests in the future we must press for an effective government policy to legislate that ALL the areas that are logged must be regenerated into harvestable forests. Only then can we be assured of a healthy economy in Ontario's forests.

The events of the Exodus, in which the Passover occupied a central and dominant place, were one of the most deeply rooted of all Israel's traditions. The Passover itself lay at the very heart of the covenant concept and forms the basis of the Heilsgeschichte which records the redemptive acts of God for His people Israel. In later Judaism it became overlaid with eschatological ideas, especially those associated with a Messianic deliverance for the people of God, as God's saving act in the past became the prefigurement of an even greater saving act in the future. The Passover night was thus a night of joy for all Israel, the night on which Israel's future redemption, effected through the Messiah, would be revealed. The early Christians, however, believed that this Messianic deliverance had already appeared in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, and consequently, in Preiss' expression,‘the totality of the events of the Exodus centering on the Passover’ together with its associated ideas occupied a dominant position in Christian soteriological thought in the New Testament period, especially as Jesus Himself had instituted the eucharist in a distinctly Paschal setting. We may trace, as has been done in recent years, the idea of the Exodus complex of events running as a constant theme through the New Testament writings, and Jesus is pictured both as a second Moses leading His people forth from a bondage far greater than the slavery of a human despot, from the thraldom of sin and death, and as the Antitype of the very Passover sacrifice itself, through which the redemption of the New Israel was effected.

By definition, archival science is a set of knowledge about archival material and archival activity. Archival scienceis a young science because it has been developing for the past hundred years. More recently, theory, practice and methodology have been formed. When we talk about archival material, we need to know that it’s not just a pile of old paper preserved in the dark archive storage rooms. Archival material is a record in continuity - from the moment it is created, until the moment someone searches for that record. Today it is a common belive that archives are the memory of society and a part of cultural heritage. Today, documents are mostly generated in electronic form. From a practical point of view, modern archival science deals with answers to contemporary issues such as: How to organize digitalisation of archival material? How to keep digital content in the long run? How to organize digital archives? How to care for data security? These are just some questions that will have to be answered by the generations that come - young archivists. To be able to protect contemporary archives for the future we will have to find abwers to above questions, than only by protecting the present we will be able to preserve it for the future.

Friedrich Carl von Savigny was a legal figure with high reputation. He was recognized as a figure and the founder of the school of historical jurisprudence. This article attempts to discuss what he meant by law, how his thoughts about law began, and how these thought might have urgency and relevant to the present context. This article shows, Savigny’s thought about law stems from his reflection on the development of law in civilized nations, that law grows naturally in society and is not deliberately made by certain (political) forces. Law is a part of social life that can be observed in the form of people’s behavior and consciousness, as well as language and manners. It and other social aspects are united which arises from and reflects the spirit of the people (volksgeist) as well. Savigny’s thoughts are urgent in a holistically placing law in society and building laws that have a continuity in the past, present, and future. Such thoughts become relevant in the current legal development of a country which tends to have a global-universal character, so that national law is reflected, harmonized, and colored by the spirit of the people. Abstrak Friedrich Carl von Savigny merupakan tokoh hukum dengan reputasi yang tinggi. Ia dikenali sebagai tokoh sekaligus pendiri aliran hukum sejarah (historical jurisprudence). Dalam artikel ini dibahas apa yang dimaksud olehnya sebagai hukum, bagaimanakah pemikirannya tentang hukum bermula, dan, dalam konteks sekarang, bagaimana urgensi dan relevansinya. Artikel ini menunjukkan, pemikiran Savigny tentang hukum bermula dari refleksinya tentang perkembangan hukum pada bangsa-bangsa yang beradab, bahwa hukum itu tumbuh secara alamiah di masyarakat dan tidak dibuat secara sengaja oleh kekuatan (politik) tertentu. Hukum merupakan bagian dari kehidupan sosial yang dapat dilihat dalam wujud perilaku dan kesadaran masyarakat, seperti halnya bahasa dan tata krama. Hukum beserta aspek sosial lainnya itu merupakan satu kesatuan, yang muncul dan sekaligus mencerminkan jiwa rakyat atau bangsa (volksgeist). Pemikiran Savigny ini penting dalam mendudukkan hukum secara holistik di masyarakat dan membangun hukum yang memiliki kesinambungan masa lalu, kini, dan mendatang. Pemikiran demikian menjadi relevan dalam pembangunan hukum suatu negara saat ini yang cenderung berkarakter global-universal, agar dalam hukum nasional tetap tercermin, selaras, dan punya warna jiwa bangsa.
