The article considers the original conept of the transition to noosphere-space thinking in the cultural-informational space of Ukraine, and the idea of a New Noosphere-Space Art. The importance of the noosphere-space direction of development in today’s realities is substantiated. quotes from thinkers, scientists and poets are cited to support research statement, emphasizing the inclination of the Ukrainian ethnos to this path. It is proposed to adopt a new pantheon of personalities, significant for Ukraine, who could become inspirational symbols. Three figures should become such symbols: Grigory Skovoroda, Vladimir Vernadsky, Kazimir Malevich. The article can be considered both research and a kind of creative manifesto of the artist.

To preserve the last surviving remnants of gravely endangered species of fauna and flora from total extinction becomes more urgent every day, as the spread of civilization takes over their native habitat. In 1931, when the American Committee for International Wild Life Protection was established, it focused attention on the need for gathering information about gravely endangered species of mammals and birds. The Committee raised funds to support research on this subject, which culminated in the publication of Extinct and Vanishing Mammals of the Western Hemisphere by Glover M. Allen in 1942, Extinct and Vanishing Mammals of the Old World by Francis Harper in 1945, and Extinct and Vanishing Birds of the World by James C. Greenway, Jr., in 1958. These volumes furnish a base line of knowledge to assist future efforts in the protection of endangered species.

Esse artigo tem como temática central a relação entre literatura e religião, especificamente a literatura das histórias em quadrinhos, também conhecidas como HQs, e o ocultismo contemporâneo, um agente do reencantamento do mundo, sendo esse uma crítica e produto da modernidade, o qual promove o retorno ou popularização da magia. Dessa forma, o objetivo da pesquisa é analisar a HQ Promethea, de Alan Moore, publicada em 1999, e que aborda o ocultismo de forma didática, assim, busca-se identificar quais são os elementos do ocultismo na obra e como estes e a própria HQ de Moore se inserem no processo de reencantamento do mundo. Como metodologia, o trabalho faz uso de pesquisa bibliográfica e a forma de abordagem é qualitativa em função das características do tema estudado (crenças, valores, atitudes). O marco teórico conceitual utilizado para fundamentar a pesquisa é a sociologia da religião. Constata-se entre os elementos ocultistas abordados em Promethea a magia cerimonial, a astrologia, o tarô, a cabala hermética e a goécia. E as características do reencantamento do mundo presentes na obra, entre outras, são a revalorização dos elementos não racionais da vida, como a imaginação; o resgate de crenças e práticas pré-modernas, como a própria magia; a racionalização e “psicologização” desta; e uma dialética entre o conhecimento científico e o pensamento mágico.Palavras-chave: Magia. Ocultismo. Literatura.AbstractThis paper has as its central theme the relationship between literature and religion, specifically the literature of comics and contemporary occultism, an agent of the re-enchantment of the world, the latter is a product and critique of modernity which promotes the return or popularization of magic. Thus, this research intends to analyze Alan Moore’s comic, Promethea, published in 1999, which addresses the occult didactically, thus, the paper seeks to identify those elements of occultism and how they and the comic fit into the process of re-enchantment of the world. As methodology, the work makes use of bibliographic research and the approach is qualitative based on the characteristics of the studied subject (beliefs, values, attitudes). The theoretical and conceptual framework used to support research is the sociology of religion. It appears among occult elements addressed in Promethea ceremonial magic, astrology, tarot, Hermetic Qabalah and the Goetia. And the characteristics of the re-enchantment of the world in the present work, among others, are the revaluation of non-rational elements of life such as the imagination; redemption of pre-modern beliefs and practices, such as magic itself; rationalization and "psychologization" of magic; and a dialectic between scientific knowledge and magical thinking.Keywords: Magic. Occultism. Literature.

Video Analytics bring together the world of educational research and classroom teaching with technology and the internet. Through use of more than 4500 hours of video data, an open source analytic creation tool, this study creates a video analytic that supports a research paper. In addition to supporting research, analytics can be a reflective tool for teachers, as well as support professional development as all levels. This report illustrates the video analytic, Using Meredith’s models to reason about comparing and ordering unit fractions, (Horwitz, 2015, available at http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.7282/T33J3FQG), as well as the methods used in the creation of the analytic used to support research in student use of representations to make sense of fractions.

The current appearance of the new SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and it quickly spreading across the world poses a global health emergency. The serious outbreak position is affecting people worldwide and requires rapid measures to be taken by healthcare systems and governments. Vaccinations represent the most effective strategy to prevent the epidemic of the virus and to further reduce morbidity and mortality with long-lasting effects. Nevertheless, currently there are no licensed vaccines for the novel coronaviruses. Researchers and clinicians from all over the world are advancing the development of a vaccine against novel human SARS-CoV-2 using various approaches. Herein, we aim to present and discuss the progress and prospects in the field of vaccine research towards SARS-CoV-2 using adenovirus (AdV) replication deficient-based strategies, with a comprehension that may support research and combat this recent world health emergency.

The article reveals the challenges of artistic communication in the organisation of modern exhibition space. Art exhibitions demonstrate the synthesis of creative practices implemented with the use of a wide range of expositional forms and means of expression. The paper studies the features of the implementation of artistic communication in the exhibition space and analyses theoretical foundations of communication tasks, which are taken into account when organising the exhibition space. Based on contemporary acting exhibition projects, including regional exhibitions (Az. Art. Siberia – 2019), the authors of the article reveal the specific features of artistic communication, concluding that representation of works of art is implementation of the intellectual and creative relationship of the author and the recipient in broadcasting artistic information containing a certain attitude to the world, which forms the conceptual content of art and its value content

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl & McCormack argue that animals cannot represent past situations and subsume animals’ memory-like representations within a model of the world. I suggest calling these memory-like representations as what they are without beating around the bush. I refer to them as event memories and explain how they are different from episodic memory and how they can guide action in animal cognition.

AbstractFe XIV 530.3 nm coronal emission line observations have been used for the estimation of the green solar corona rotation. A homogeneous data set, created from measurements of the world-wide coronagraphic network, has been examined with a help of correlation analysis to reveal the averaged synodic rotation period as a function of latitude and time over the epoch from 1947 to 1991.The values of the synodic rotation period obtained for this epoch for the whole range of latitudes and a latitude band ±30° are 27.52±0.12 days and 26.95±0.21 days, resp. A differential rotation of green solar corona, with local period maxima around ±60° and minimum of the rotation period at the equator, was confirmed. No clear cyclic variation of the rotation has been found for examinated epoch but some monotonic trends for some time intervals are presented.A detailed investigation of the original data and their correlation functions has shown that an existence of sufficiently reliable tracers is not evident for the whole set of examinated data. This should be taken into account in future more precise estimations of the green corona rotation period.
