Purpose is to outline the epistemological core of metamodernism and transmodernism, defining the forms of intersection between them and clarifying A. Pavlov’s concept of post-postmodernism Methods. The typological analysis of two theories of post-postmodernism is used in the work: transmodernism and metamodernism (comparative-historical approach).Results. The author states that the concept of transmodernism has typological similarities with the concept of metamodernism; however, this aspect was not discussed in A. Pavlov’s dissertation. The crystallization of both theories became possible because of postcolonial transformations that took place in Western societies in the second half of the XX – early XXI century. It is investigated that A. Pavlov’s theoretical ideas need to be clarified in terms of outlining the specifics of contemporary culture and, in particular, literature. Metamodernism and transmodernism denote political and sociocultural tendencies that took place in Western communities in the last decades. The differences between the versions of transmodernism and metamodernism have been analyzed and the common epistemological core of both phenomena has been characterized. It is determined that the theories studied so far were perceived as antipodes, because the postcolonial specifics of both phenomena were not taken into account. The key concepts of the theories are emphasized, e. g. the integrated chaos, glocal space, monolithic thinking, etc.Conclusions. The concepts of transmodernism and metamodernism are the result of postcolonial transformations of Western societies, which led to the formation of a special paradigm that combines those concepts and phenomena that have been considered antagonistic. Transmodernism and metamodernism are not homogeneous: within them there are different versions and opposing views, which are the result of different interpretations of postmodernism and instability in views on previous cultural and historical periods. A. Pavlov’s views on metamodernism as a theory that emerged in post-postmodernism and that has the most sufficient chances for future developments is explained: today it is appropriate to spotlight several stages in the development of this theory, which has gained prospects mainly due to philological approaches and literary studies.Key words: post-postmodernism, integrated chaos, new sensuality, literary theory. Мета статті – охарактеризувати епістемологічне ядро метамодернізму та трансмодернізму шляхом визначення форм перетину двох теорій та уточнення концепції постпостмодернізму О. Павлова.Методи. У роботі використаний типологічний аналіз двох теорій постпостмодернізму: трансмодернізму та метамодернізму (порівняльно-історичний підхід).Результати. Автор обґрунтовує, що концепція трансмодернізму має типологічні схожості з концепцією метамодернізму, на що не звертає уваги О. Павлов у своїй дисертації. Кристалізація обох концепцій стала можливою в результаті постколоніальних трансформацій, що мали місце в західних суспільствах у другій половині ХХ – на початку ХХІ ст. Досліджено, що теоретичні міркування О. Павлова потребують уточнення у плані окреслення специфіки сучасної культури, зокрема літератури. Проаналізовано відмінності між різними версіями трансмодернізму та метамодернізму, охарактеризовано спільне епістемологічне ядро обох напрямів. Визначено, що дотепер досліджувані теорії сприймалися як антиподи, оскільки не було взято до уваги постколоніальну специфіку обох напрямів. Наголошено на ключових концептах обох теорій і проана-лізовано такі з них, як інтегрований хаос, глокальний простір, монолітне мислення тощо.Висновки. Концепції трансмодернізму та метамодернізму є результатом постколоніальних трансформацій західних суспільств, які зумовили формування особливого світосприйняття, що поєднує ті концепти і явища, які вважалися антагоністичними. Теорії трансмодернізму й метамодернізму не є гомогенними: у межах цих концепцій існують різні версії та протилежні погляди, які є результатом відмінного трактування постмодернізму й неусталеності в поглядах на попередні культурно-історичні періоди. Справедливим є твердження О. Павлова щодо того, що саме концепція метамодернізму з-поміж усіх теорій, що виникли в лоні постпостмодернізму, має найбільше шансів для власного утвердження. Так, сьогодні доцільно говорити про декілька етапів у розвитку цієї концепції, яка здобула перспективи з огляду на залучення філологічних підходів і літературознавчих досліджень.Ключові слова: постпостмодернізм, інтегрований хаос, нова чуттєвість, теорія літератури.

P. A. Florensky dedicated nine writings of his rich interdisciplinary work to the phenomenon of cult, which were first published in a censored form in 1977. We turn our attention to one of these writings called Cult, Religion and Culture, published under the common title Philosophy of Cult, in which the author elaborates a distinctive concept of the cult as the primary activity of man and at the same time as the gift offered to him for his own sanctification. It is the sacred cult—sacra from where, according to the author, two other human activities originate: namely, the ability to create tools—instrumenta—and the ability to create abstract concepts—notiones. However, both human activities have to be understood as a process of disintegration of the cult—sacra. Thus, by prioritizing one of the three human activities mentioned above, we can recognize three historical periods in history. According to Florensky, the human ability to create tools corresponds to the era of historical materialism, the ability to create concepts corresponds to the era of ideologism, and ultimately, the primary human activity—the life of man in the cult and its culture corresponds to the sacral materialism or concrete idealism.

“Now I can actually play soccer with the young people without fearing that my colleagues think I am escaping the paper work.”These were the words from a participant in a social pedagogy training course in England a few years ago. This understanding emerged through in-depth discussions and activities around key social pedagogical concepts, such as the ‘common third’, the ‘3Ps’, the ‘zone of proximal development’ and the ‘learning zone model’. In this article we will explore how a joint activity, for example, playing soccer, can be seen as a pedagogical activity and with what intentions it is undertaken to make it pedagogically purposeful.

This article is dedicated to the examination of euphemisms in the various-system languages – English and Buryat that contain view of the world by a human, and the ways of their conceptualization. Euphemisms remain insufficiently studied. Whereupon, examination of linguistic expression of the key concepts of culture is among the paramount programs of modern linguistics, need for the linguoculturological approach towards analysis of euphemisms in the languages, viewing it in light of the current sociocultural transformations, which are refer to euphemisms and values reflected by them. The subject of this research is the euphemisms in the English and Buryat languages, representing the semiosphere “corporeal and spiritual”. The scientific novelty consists in introduction of the previously unexamined euphemism in Buryat language that comprise semiosphere “corporeal and spiritual” into the scientific discourse. The analysis of language material testifies to the fact that in various cultures the topic of intimacy and sex is euphemized differently. The lexis indicating the intimate parts of the body is vividly presented in the West, while in Buryat language – rather reserved. The author also determines the common, universal, and nationally marked components elucidating the linguistic worldview of different ethnoses and cultures.

Common Field

The main aim of this paper is to support a metaphilosophical and metascientific approach to the study of Consciousness.After a brief historical resume of the debate between the mind-brain-body relationship, we discuss how the apparently irreducible contention between a physicalist and an anti-physicalist interpretation of Consciousness can be overcome by a metaphilosophic and metascientific approach in the attempt to overcome ethnocentric cultural filters and constraints yielded by the Weltanschauung and the Zeitgeist one belongs to. IN fact, a metaphilosophical perspective can help to recognize key concepts and meanings common to different philosophies beyond their formal differences and different modes of theorization, where the common field of reflection is aimed to find the problem’s unity in the multiplicity of forms. Likewise, the metascientific approach, such as the anthropic principle adopted in astrophysics, helps overcoming the problems of indecidability of single axiomatic disciplines.A metaphilosophical and metascientific approach seems appropriate in the study of consciousness and subjective phenomena, since the first-person perspective and the meaning of the experience are the condition sine qua non for their proper understanding.

The Impact

Abstract Background Optimisation processes have the potential to rapidly improve the impact of health interventions. Optimisation can be defined as a deliberate, iterative and data-driven process to improve a health intervention and/or its implementation to meet stakeholder-defined public health impacts within resource constraints. This study aimed to identify frameworks used to optimise the impact of health interventions and/or their implementation, and characterise the key concepts, steps or processes of identified frameworks. Methods A scoping review of MEDLINE, CINAL, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source databases was undertaken. Two reviewers independently coded the key concepts, steps or processes involved in each frameworks, and identified if it was a framework aimed to optimise interventions or their implementation. Two review authors then identified the common steps across included frameworks. Results Twenty optimisation frameworks were identified. Eight frameworks were for optimising interventions, 11 for optimising implementation and one covered both intervention and implementation optimisation. The mean number of steps within the frameworks was six (range 3–9). Almost half (n = 8) could be classified as both linear and cyclic frameworks, indicating that some steps may occur multiple times in a single framework. Two meta-frameworks are proposed, one for intervention optimisation and one for implementation strategy optimisation. Steps for intervention optimisation are: Problem identification; Preparation; Theoretical/Literature base; Pilot/Feasibility testing; Optimisation; Evaluation; and Long-term implementation. Steps for implementation strategy optimisation are: Problem identification; Collaborate; Plan/design; Pilot; Do/change; Study/evaluate/check; Act; Sustain/endure; and Disseminate/extend. Conclusions This review provides a useful summary of the common steps followed to optimise a public health intervention or its implementation according to established frameworks. Further opportunities to study and/or validate such frameworks and their impact on improving outcomes exist.

Historical Periods

Historians have pointed out that as a terrestrial rather than an overseas empire, the Russian empire has had to grapple with a blurry boundary between imperial center and periphery. Ektind goes a step further to show that the Russian empire was the stage for intensive colonization of the imperial core itself and the attendant processes of self-orientalization and self-alienation. The review identifies and explores three dimensions of the process of internal colonization. In the first, colonization by consent, Russian historical writers’ interpretations of the origins of the state in terms of consent to (foreign) domination are contextualized by drawing on colonizers’ fantasy of consent across contexts and historical periods, and by pointing to resistance as an important aspect of the relation between Russian imperial elites and the colonized. The second dimension is the idea of colonizing “one’s own,” whereby elites not only coerced people of the imperial core into various practices, but also viewed them through an orientalizing lens, and this, from the beginnings of serfdom through the nineteenth-century populists’ efforts at rapprochement (the perceived divide between rulers and ruled is, it is argued, still salient in Russian politics). The last dimension, strangers to ourselves, deals with the “splitting of the self” from a postcolonial studies perspective but it is pointed out that the use of psychoanalytic frameworks and literary theory may reproduce orientalist interpretations of the Russian imperial self. Instead, it is argued that self-orientalizing discourses in the Russian context may serve to divert attention away from one’s actual power.

The moire fringe method is described and reviewed with particular reference to its application in strain analysis. The theory is briefly dealt with, followed by a discussion of the common methods used to analyse the information that the fringes contain and then certain non-obvious limitations are discussed. The generic grid-preparation techniques and optical arrangements are described. Moire interferometry is dealt with at some greater length, and questions that are frequently raised concerning moire in comparison to somewhat similar methods are addressed. Specific difficulties are indicated and the work concludes with a consideration of some recent work that may influence future developments of the method. Of necessity, there is much reliance on reference to quoted works.

Dynamics of Machinery is a traditional engineering course; in fact kinematics was one of the earliest fields of study in engineering. The course relies on a strong combination of learning new theory and acquiring the skills to apply this theory through regular and repeated practice. This practice is commonly incorporated through homework sets, provided through a combination of book or instructor-given assignments. This homework includes testing conceptual understanding of key concepts, creating kinematic schematics, vector model construction, constructing equations, and performing mathematical analyses. The use of online, electronic tools for automating homework has been widely incorporated in K-12 education and in some college-level curriculum, but not, to the authors’ knowledge, significantly in a kinematics and dynamics of machinery class. This paper will present a framework for creating these problems, provide an overview of an entire set of problems associated with the common kinematics curriculum, and present an evaluation of this digitized coursework throughout four semesters of implementation.
