Poplar forests are cultivated worldwide on extended areas, contributing to the provision of wood for industries. Their management is intensive, especially in planting operations which are done, in many parts of the world, by the use of manual labor. This situation raises the question on their sustainability from an ergonomics point of view. Particularly, the postural risk is in question, as uncomfortable work postures may cause musculo-skeletal disorders. Two types of planting operations (large cutting—CP and bare-root seedling—SP) were selected as representatives for the evaluation of postural risks which was carried out for 14 subjects. Based on the analysis of approximately 14,500 images (approximately 67 h of field study), the postural risk indexes were estimated at 259 and 250 for the CP and SP, respectively. No significant differences were found between the operations, but the high share of effective planting tasks and their associated postural risk indexes generated these concerning results. The main conclusion is that these kinds of planting operations need postural improvement and ways for doing so should be researched in the future.

The article examines the epistemological roots of conservative ideology, development trends and further prospects in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in other countries. The author focuses on the “world” and Russian conservatism. In the course of the study, the author illustrates what opportunities and limitations a conservative ideology can have in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in the world. In conclusion, it is concluded that the prospect of a conservative trend in the world is wide enough. To avoid immigration and to control the development of technology in society, it is necessary to adhere to a conservative policy. Conservatism is a consolidating ideology. It is no coincidence that the author cites as an example the understanding of conservative ideology by the French due to the fact that Russia has its own vision of the ideology of conservatism. If we say that conservatism seeks to preserve something and respects tradition, we must bear in mind that traditions in different societies, which form some kind of moral imperatives, cannot be a single phenomenon due to different historical destinies and differing religious views. Considered from the point of view of religion, Muslim and Christian conservatism will be somewhat confrontational on some issues. The purpose of the work was to consider issues related to the role, evolution and prospects of conservative ideology in the political reform of modern countries. The author focuses on Russia and France. To achieve this goal, the method of in-depth interviews with experts on how they understand conservatism was chosen. Already today, conservatism is quite diverse. It is quite possible that in the future it will transform even more and acquire new reflections.

The future of dwelling has a very board context and will continue to be discussed, it is possible that the discussions about “dwelling” is come from the environment of farming and fishing. Things that are not much cared for but still have a role in the survival of the world. Therefore this matter will be discussed using the role of architecture as space, to be able to create an ideal system by paying attention to the quality of farming and fishing for the future, and leaving a trace or memory to be able to carry messages for the future. Talking about the future of an interaction that occurs between the general public and farmers and fishermen, especially considering that farmers and fishermen themselves can be compared to two different poles, a liminal space is needed, which may already exist indirectly in the environment. By letting go of individual egos and emphasizing ego to the point of view of farmers and fishermen. To present a common space, or a place that contains a special character of a city that contains a message for the future. Keywords:  dualism; hope; liminal; trace;  Abstrak Masa depan cara berhuni memiliki konteks yang sangat luas dan akan terus diperbincangkan. Tidak menutup kemungkinan datang dari pembahasan mengenai cara berhuni dengan bertani dan melaut. Hal yang tidak banyak dipedulikan tetapi tetap memiliki peran dalam kelangsungan dunia. Oleh karena itu, masa depan berhuni ini akan dibahas dengan menggunakan peran arsitektur sebagai ruang, untuk dapat menciptakan sistem yang ideal dengan memperhatikan kualitas bertani dan melaut bagi masa depan, dan meninggalkan sebuah jejak atau kenangan untuk dapat membawa pesan bagi masa depan. Berbicara mengenai masa depan dari sebuah interaksi yang terjadi antara masyarakat umum dengan para petani dan nelayan, apalagi mengingat para petani dan nelayan itu sendiri dapat diibaratkan berada pada kedua kutub yang berbeda, maka dibutuhkanlah sebuah ruang liminal, yang mungkin sudah hadir secara tidak langsung pada lingkungan masyarakat. Dengan cara melepaskan ego individual dan menekankan ego kepada sudut pandang para petani dan nelayan. Untuk menghadirkan sebuah ruang bersama, atau sebuah tempat yang mengandung sebuah karakter tersendiri dari sebuah kota yang berisi pesan bagi masa depan.

Most of the early science fantasies of H. G. Wells are, as he defines the term, prophetic: the myths that they develop to a logical conclusion represent a critique of some historical or essential aspect of the human condition. The Time Machine, his first scientific romance, explores the premises of prophetic fantasy at the same time that it embodies a myth of its own. In it Wells envisions the future devolution of man, already outlined in previous essays of his, as the ultimate consequence of what he perceived as a present attitude of complacent optimism, an attitude he dramatizes in the reaction of the Active audience to the Time Traveller's account of the world of 802,701 and beyond. Although the Time Traveller accepts this vision as literally true, his own theories about that world make it clear that its significance pertains to it only as a metaphoric projection of tendencies existing in the present. Thus the structure of The Time Machine reveals the Time Traveller's point of view, like that of his audience, to be limited: his final disappearance into the fantasied world of the future vindicates the rigorous integrity of Wells s prophecy.

For the Nobel Literature Prize being rewarded to him in 2014, Patrick Modiano is among the most popular French novelists allover the world. In Vietnam, many books of his have been translated and published, especially since the year of his Nobel Prize, leading to many reviews and comments in newspapers and social networks. In addition, his novels have been interesting subjects to many studies in universities. However, we tend to pay more attention to his ``art of memory'' and his obvious obsession to history, memories, identities, the feeling of loss, etc. without paying attention to the loss itself, which makes it hard to deeply understand both his works and his world. In this article, we try to examine the loss in one of his most well-known novels, Missing Person (original Rue des Boutiques Obscures in French, which brought him the Goncourt Prize in 1978), to get a thorough understanding of this theme in his writings. By examining the characters and their being lost in Missing Person in terms of memory, language and nationality as well as seeing their state in the relations to cultural and historic events then (in the Occupation and about ten years later in France), we try not only to completely depict their loss but also to get things clearly explained. From the lost men in Missing Person, we also expect to point out humans' close connections to their community, their mother tongue language and their nation, showing how vulnerable they are through historic events. From this point of view, Modiano's missing person is a victim of history – just like many refugees today. Therefore, his writings not only are something from the past, not only belong to the past, but also are attached to our present and towards the future.

From the point of view of the new science of globalism, the problems of the ecological, socio-economic state of the world and countries are considered through the prism of the interaction of the human psyche and society and the inhabited world. The criteria of ecological civilization of countries and peoples are justified. Optimizing the consumption of natural bio-and energy resources is becoming a fundamental environmental factor for sustainable development. The "Law of the maximum for humanity" as the law of the biosphere can be the arbitration court, the neutral force that will explain the historical need for mutual understanding, taking into account the interests of ecology and economy for the survival of man as a biovid on Earth; a new reality will begin to form — the phenomenon of co-residence of the world society with the biosphere. The world's population, its energy and bio-consumption, as well as all living matter on the planet, must correspond to the biological capacity of the Earth and not go beyond its boundaries. The task of the society is to implement a worldview breakthrough at the current stage of development, its own cultural mutation, which in the future will create the basis for adaptive technological and socio-cultural development. The task is to classify the entire Earth as a "Green Book" and to solve systemic environmental problems of a global nature. An integral part of sustainable development should be the principle of "vital consumption" at both the personal and social level, instead of the dominant principle of"expanded production and consumption". The indicator of the" culture of consumption "of natural resources, both at the individual level and at the level of society, should be included as an integral part of the integral indicator in the "True Indicator of Progress" and the "Human Development Index". The book is interdisciplinary in nature; it is a kind of scientific and philosophical poetic essay intended for teachers and students of universities in the field of sociology, ecology, biology and related fields, as well as for everyone who cares about the future of society.

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the interpretation of the image of the future in the philosophical tradition of Russian cosmism, as well as the echoes of this vision of the future in Russian writers of the xx century. Cosmists consider reality from the point of view of what it should be, respectively, the image of the future is a model of the perfect state of the world and man. The future for them is projective, and this project should be embodied in reality. Key characteristics of the image of the future in Russian cosmism: axiology, alternative, universality, cosmicity, immortalism, unity of personality and community, assuming the completeness of the development and interaction of both. The future for Russian cosmists is connected with the transition from technical progress, increasing the power of man in the world through artificial tools, to organic progress, associated with the improvement of the human body. Artistic projections of the image of the future are given in the literary texts of the cosmists themselves (K.E. Tsiolkovsky’s sci-Fi works, V. N. Muravyev’s philosophical mystery Sofia and Kitovras), as well as in the poetry of V. Bryusov, V. Mayakovsky, V. Khlebnikov, N. Zabolotsky, in the novels of A. Belyaev and I. Efremov.

The object of this article is to examine changing Chinese attitudes to their place in the world from a Chinese historical and intellectual perspective, in order to provide a basis for anticipating developments in the future attuned more to a Chinese than to a western point of view. The question immediately arises whether such a perspective is in any way relevant to the recent theory and practice of international relations in the People's Republic of China, and what insights, if any, such a perspective may provide for discussing the future. This is a controversial subject concerned with the nature of cultural change, and the extent to which " imprinting" from a long continuity of accepted social and cultural values can psychologically condition people even after a decisive break in that tradition appears to have occurred.

Abstract: Recently, Ziauddin Sardar, a futurologist who is famous in studying the future of civilization and the universal relation of Muslims and Christians in the world. This study essentially showed the contradictory of Sardar's ideas related to the environment in particular, and nature in general. It entails thatSardar can be categorized into a proffesional of the future of ecology along with Muslim ecologists, such as Seyyed Hossein Nasr. This study focused on Sardar's point of view of Shari'a as problem solving, tazkiyyah, hieraki awareness and futurology. The results of this study indicate a new discourse in the ecological discourse of Islam, such as eco-futurology, the perspective on the awareness of  the importance of environment (nature), believing in God and the future. This study is expected that peoplecan do sharing-speace with the surrounding environment. Sardar’s thought is expected to foster mutual consciousness between human and God, human with human and human with nature. It implies that echo-futurology encourage people to live in harmony and behave in accordance with its purpose in the earth, namely to maintain the ecological balance.  ملخص:خلال هذا الوقت كان ضياء الدين سردار يركز فكرته على مستقبل الحضارة والعلاقة العالمية بين المسلمين والمسيحيين في العالم. وتبحث هذه الدراسة فى أفكار سردار المتعلقة بالبيئة على وجه الخصوص، والطبيعة بشكل عام. وهذا بمعنى أن سردار في الواقع كالمفكر أيضا عن مستقبل البيئة وهو يدخل من كبار علماء البيئة المسلمين مثل سيد حسين نصر. أساس هذه الدراسة هو وجهة نظر سردار عن الشريعة التي يمكن استخدامها لحل المشاكل، والتزكية، والوعي، والفكرة عن المستقبل. وكانت نتائج هذه الدراسة نشأة الفكرة الجديدة في مجال علم البيئة الإسلامية -علم الإيكولوجية المستقبلة- بمعنى طريقة النظر المبنية على الوعي، يعني الاندماج بين الوعي الطبيعي والوعي الإلهي والوعي على المستقبل. ومن خلال هذه الدراسة يرجى على الناس أن يحترموا البيئة. أما بالنسبة إلى آثار فكرة سردار فيرجى أن ينشأ الوعي من الإنسان إلى ربّه، وبين الإنسان مع الآخر، وبين الإنسان مع طبيعته. وهذه هي الإيكولوجية المستقبلة التي تشجع الناس على العيش السليم وفقا لكونهم كالخليفة في الأرض وهو الحفظ على البيئية. Abstrak: Selama ini, Ziauddin Sardar cenderung diposisikan sebagai futurolog yang mengkaji jika bukan masa depan peradaban, relasi global umat Muslim dan Kristen di dunia. Studi ini justru memperlihatkan adanya percikan gagasan Sardar terkait dengan lingkungan secara khusus, dan alam secara umum. Artinya, Sardar sebenarnya bisa dikategorikan sebagai pemerhati masa depan ekologi di antara deretan ekolog-ekolog Muslim terkemuka, seperti Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Dasar pijak dari studi ini adalah pokok pemikiran Sardar seperti: Syariat sebagai problem solving, tazkiyyah, hieraki kesadaran dan futurologi. Hasil dari studi ini mengindikasikan wacana baru dalam diskursus ekologi Islam, yakni eko-futurologi, cara pandang yang dikonstruk melalui kesadaran, antara kesadaran berlingkungan (alam) dengan kesadaran berketuhanan serta kesadaran akan masa depan. Melalui studi ini diharapkan manusia bisa sharing-speace dengan lingkungan sekitar. Adapun implikasi dari pemikiran Sardar ini adalah diharapkan akan menumbuhkan kesadaran timbal-balik antara manusia dengan Tuhan, manusia dengan manusia dan manusia dengan alam. Artinya, Eko-futurologi mendorong manusia agar hidup selaras dan berprilaku sesuai dengan tujuannya di muka bumi, yakni untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekologis Keywords: Ekologi, Syariat, Hierarki Kesadaran, Futurologi, Eko-Futurologi

Energy saving has become a consensus and urgency problems to solve for China and the world. The proposal of Smart Grid based on this. A large number of distributed power penetratione as an important feature of the future smart grid has become an irreversible trend, especially in the distribution network, the economic ,efficiency, and the advantages of the green environmental will be reflected more perfect. A large number of distributed power access also produce many adverse effects on the existing distribution network, that it is difficult to reflect the immediate advantages of distributed power supply. Because of this,plug and play of the distributed power become the hot spot of research in this field. This paper will be another point of view to discuss the distributed power access to the distributed grid side.with plug-and-play architecture.By the research of theoretical origin,the formation of plug-and-play and the expansion in the field of distributed power access distribution network.This paper puts forward the system's point of view to discusses the three models and their own characteristics for the distributed power access to distribution network, hope it will lay theoretical foundation of the Plug and Play technology for the eventual realization these models in the future by the power electronics, communications, control theory,and so on.
