Вынужденное расставание с Родиной русской интеллигенцией, не принявшей революционные изменения, и начало первой волны эмиграции произошли на волне незавершенных споров об А.С. Пушкине для судьбы русской культуры. Эти споры стали основой философских концепций о целях и задачах пушкинистики как науки, призванной раскрыть феномен пушкинского творчества. В статье рассматриваются концепции А.В. Карташева и С.Л. Франка. Их работы были написаны к 100-летию со дня смерти А.С. Пушкина. Богослов А.В. Карташев в статье «Лик Пушкина» поставил вопрос о существовании «пассивной пушкинистики». Его концепция заострила внимание на явлении, которое станет важнейшей чертой русской интеллигенции ХХ в. Любительская или народная пушкинистика основана на внимательном отношении к академическому пушкиноведению и связана с читательской рефлексией, основанной на глубочайшем знании жизни и творчества Пушкина. С.Л. Франк обращается к проблеме постановки ключевых задач для академической науки. Они, по мнению философа, включают в себя исследование духовного мира Пушкина как факта национального самопознания. Несмотря на разницу в толковании пушкинистики, оба исследователя основываются на идее пророческой миссии Пушкина и науки, которая исследует его творчество. Russian intellectuals, who did not accept the revolutionary changes, were forced to leave their Homeland, and the beginning of the first wave of emigration took place on the wave of unfinished disputes about Pushkin for the fate of Russian culture. These disputes became the basis of philosophical concepts about the goals and objectives of Pushkin studies as a science designed to reveal the phenomenon of Pushkin's creativity. The article deals with the concepts of V.A. Kartashev and S.L. Frank. Their works were written for the 100th anniversary of Pushkin's death. Theologian V.A. Kartashev in the article The Face of Pushkin raised the question of the existence of «passive Pushkin studies». His concept focused attention on a phenomenon that would become an important feature of the Russian intelligentsia of the XXth century. Amateur or folk Pushkin studies are based on an attentive attitude to academic Pushkin studies and are connected with readers' reflection based on the deepest knowledge of Pushkin's life and work. S.L. Frank addresses the problem of setting key tasks for academic science. They, according to the philosopher, include the study of the spiritual world of Pushkin as a fact of national self-knowledge. Despite the difference in the interpretation of Pushkin studies, both researchers are based on the idea of Pushkin's prophetic mission and the science that explores his work.

This chapter discusses the argument of Sections 28–32 of G.E.M. Anscombe’s Intention. It begins by relating Anscombe’s thesis that intentional action is known without observation to Wittgenstein’s discussion in the Blue Book of the knowledge of oneself “as subject” and Anscombe’s discussion in “The First Person” of unmediated self-knowledge. Following this, the chapter explores the difficulties that herself Anscombe raises for her thesis, and considers her reasons for thinking that the scope of an agent’s non-observational self-knowledge is not limited to her interior states or immediate bodily movements. Finally, it considers how the difficulties that Anscombe has raised are supposed to be addressed by her discussion of how descriptions of one’s intentional action can be contradicted, and of the difference between a list that has the role of an order and one whose role is to provide an accurate description of some facts.

Objective The goal is to optimize the diagnosis of complications after thread implantation using high-resolution ultrasound (US).Material and Methods The study design included the formation of twelve sample comparison groups. Inclusion criteria for the group: women without evident somatic pathology after cosmetic implantation in various periods after the procedure. The difference between the groups was in the chemical composition of the material (L-lactic acid, polydiaxanone, copolymer of L-actide with ԑ-caprolactone, polypropylene, polyester fiber in a silicone sheath, metal), complaints (the presence of amyctic, the presence of overcorrection, the absence of complaints), the period of time after implantation (up to 6 months, from 6 to 12 months, more than a year). Then ultrasound was performed, 33 qualitative and 7 quantitative indicators were analyzed. The study involved 93 women aged 29 to 65 years after the thread implantation. The circulation period varied from 3 days to 20 years.Results An analysis of the relationship between quantitative and qualitative features revealed statistically significant connections between the presence of an acoustic shadow and threads of polylactic acid and polypropylene, the presence of reverberation, and the metal – gold (p < 0.0001). Relationships were established between polyester fibers in a silicone sheath with complaints of inflammation, the presence of edema during examination, perifocal edema around the thread during ultrasound (p < 0.0001). The difference was also found between the diameter of the thread in the group of patients examined up to 6 months and the group in the period 6–12 months after implantation (p < 0.0001), as well as the group up to 6 months and more than a year (p = 0.0033).Conclusion The presence of an acoustic shadow, a thread diameter of more than 1 mm are ultrasound signs of fibrotic changes around the thread. The characteristic echographic signs of inflammation around the thread will be a zone of reduced echoicity, corresponding to perifocal edema. Hypercorrection is a consequence of fibrotic changes development around the thread.

The monograph of A. A. Chibilyov and A. A. Tishkov is a great gift for the 100th anniversary of the natural reserve system of Russia. The authors provide a chronology of the main events in the history of nature conservation in Russia (1895—2017). Particular attention is paid to the role of academic science. Compactness, informativeness and availability of presentation of materials about the history of our conservation business are fully worthy of this work being presented in the schools and higher educational institutions of the country.

The purpose of the article is to present the scientific and methodological ideas of Professor L.V. Shamrey’s, ScD in Education. The article focuses on the issues of modern lessons of Literature; the issues, related to the general and philological culture of the teacher, their professional skills to plan and structure one’s activities, rethink the goals and objectives of teaching in accordance with modern requirements. The article includes information on the all-Russian conference “Literary work in the context of artistic culture” (Nizhny Novgorod), dedicated to the memory of L.V. Shamrey. The article includes a substantial review of her monograph “The role of image-associative thinking in the development of the school pupil reader”. Describing the scientific direction headed by L.V. Shamrey, the author dwells in detail on the difference between the lessons of a simulation type and traditional literature lessons. The difference entails imagery as a principle of structuring educational activities, increased emotiveness, careful selection of content, higher complexity of tasks and accuracy of wording. In the article special attention is paid to the staged structure and organization of the lessons of a simulation type including the “birth” of an idea expressed in a metaphorical form, concept, principles of content selection, and description of the course of the lesson. Theoretically based ideas are supported by some examples of lessons from the practical experience of L.V. Shamrey’s. By way of conclusion, the author deduces that the introduction of the lessons of a simulation type into the literature teaching process is not a rejection of the traditional classical lesson. It’s an enrichment of the teacher’s professional culture which has a huge impact on the development of literary education in school and a certain degree of students’ freedom of reflection over the read piece of art.

The hippocampus is thought to play a role in the formation of memories of relations among items in a scene (Cohen and Eichenbaum, 1993). Recently, we described a change detection task in which visual scanning of objects in a scene indicated explicit memory for those objects, and is thought to require hippocampal function (Chau, Murphy, Rosenbaum, Ryan, & Hoffman, 2010). In contrast, a task pairing faces and scenes revealed that the scanning of faces can be used as a measure of implicit memory, yet it, too, is associated with hippocampal function (Hannula & Ranganath, 2009). One difference between tasks is that the latter was never tested with objectscene pairs. In this study, we replicated the face-scene task, and added an object-scene condition to determine if the difference in scanning of previously shown pairs exists for objects-scene pairs and if, as with faces, this bias exists in the absence of explicit recall. Paired items were viewed preferentially, whether the items were faces or objects, and irrespective of whether recall was implicit or explicit. The bias towards the paired image emerged within the first 500 ms of viewing for all pairs, and the protracted response was stronger for explicit than implicit pairs. These results suggest that this task is effective whether using face or object stimuli, and could be used to tease apart the role of the hippocampus in explicit and implicit memory formation. Furthermore, its use of non-verbal measurements makes it amenable for use in animal models.Authors: Branfield Day, Leora R.; Bartlett, Adrian M.; Leonard, Timothy K. and Hoffman, Kari L.

The profound impact of Martin Luther’s theological confession is well documented. What is not as thoroughly explored is Luther’s understanding of the function of preaching, which both rooted his reformational breakthrough and drove the Reformation thereafter. Luther’s simple assertion—instead of the pope, there stands a sermon—resulted in a revolution that impacted all facets of 16th-century life. Luther’s simple assertion concerning proclamation deconstructed a deeply embedded framework that had arisen around Christianity that affected everything from the function of the priest to the definition and role of the church, and even Scripture itself. While Luther learned as he went, especially in the matter of preaching, the unwavering consistency and even simplicity of his theology is breathtaking. Instead of the pope, a sermon which delivers Christ’s forgiveness of sins. Faith in that promise is certain and is not to be doubted in any way. Thus, preaching and nothing else makes the church, not vice versa. The ramifications of this assertion are monumental and far-reaching. Luther’s confession caused great upheaval and consternation in his time and continues to do so even now, since it addresses the basic questions of theology and life, such as the role of the individual in salvation, whether the will is free or bound in relation to God, what the authority of Scripture is in relation to tradition, and what the difference between a command and a promise is. Yet Luther held to the claim that the most important matter was the comfort of the conscience, which can come only through a promise delivered in place and time to a person pro me and thus builds a whole gathering of the faithful as true church. Thus, in the face of outcries and upheaval in Christendom, Luther refused to blame the gospel, but simply preached as he had taught, trusting that the word of God does not return empty but accomplishes what it says. So he trusted that in that proclamation God’s will would be done: killing and making alive, naming and absolving the sin of people desperate to hear that freeing proclamation. Thus the Reformation that followed Luther became a preaching movement that distinguished the law and the gospel and applied both categorically. Proclamation is the moment and fullness of the divine election unto eternal life.

Dekkers and de Lang (1977) have discussed a practical method of realising differential phase contrast in a STEM. The method involves taking the difference signal from two semi-circular detectors placed symmetrically about the optic axis and subtending the same angle (2α) at the specimen as that of the cone of illumination. Such a system, or an obvious generalisation of it, namely a quadrant detector, has the characteristic of responding to the gradient of the phase of the specimen transmittance. In this paper we shall compare the performance of this type of system with that of a first moment detector (Waddell et al.1977).For a first moment detector the response function R(k) is of the form R(k) = ck where c is a constant, k is a position vector in the detector plane and the vector nature of R(k)indicates that two signals are produced. This type of system would produce an image signal given bywhere the specimen transmittance is given by a (r) exp (iϕ (r), r is a position vector in object space, ro the position of the probe, ⊛ represents a convolution integral and it has been assumed that we have a coherent probe, with a complex disturbance of the form b(r-ro) exp (iζ (r-ro)). Thus the image signal for a pure phase object imaged in a STEM using a first moment detector is b2 ⊛ ▽ø. Note that this puts no restrictions on the magnitude of the variation of the phase function, but does assume an infinite detector.
