The activity of Herbert Horne, an art collector, is regarded in the article due to his great significance as an italianist scolar. Hence, the emphasis is made on the Horne’s work starting from the 1880-s when he dedicated himself to studying different aspects of the Italien Renaissance art and culture. His role in the study of Trecento and Quatrocento art (his articles and his monograph on Sandro Botticelli) is shown, as well as his leadership in the art and antique sphere and his participation as an expert in the creation of new museums, while the stress is put on Horne’s figure as an outstanding art collector. The aim of the collecting was to acquire Renaissance art objects for interior decoration of the palazzo Quatrocento that he purchased in Florence and restored himself in the style of that epoch. Despite the fact that the palazzo Corsi-Horne shares common features with the Florence and Fiesole museums , founded in the same time period, the Horne Museum, that the great scholar designed and created , is particularly noted for its scientific forethought and highquality composition. В статье рассматривается деятельность коллекционера Герберта Хорна в контексте его высокой значимости как ученого-итальяниста. Поэтому акцент сделан на его работе начиная с конца 1880-х годов, когда он глубоко погрузился в исследование разных аспектов искусства и культуры итальянского Ренессанса. Показана его роль в изучении живописи Треченто и Кватроченто (статьи, монография о творчестве Сандро Боттичелли), дилерство в области искусства и антиквариата, участие в создании новых музеев в качестве эксперта, а главное внимание уделено Хорну как выдающемуся коллекционеру. Его собирание было направлено на приобретение ренессансных художественных предметов для оформления интерьера палаццо Кватроченто, который он приобрел во Флоренции и сам отреставрировал в стиле той эпохи. Несмотря на то, что палаццо Корси-Хорн имеет общие черты с музеями Флоренции и Фьезоле, образованными примерно в тот же период, Музей Хорна, целиком замысленный и осуществленный этим большим ученым, особо отмечен своей научной продуманностью и качественным составом.

This article is dedicated to examination of works of the film directors of the Leningrad popular science film studio “Lennauchfilm” in the 1970s – 1980s. Based on the archival documents presented in the Central Archive of Literature and Art of Saint Petersburg, the author analyzes the work of the film studio: carries out classification of filmography by formal-semantic criterion, as well as determines the key processes typical to this time period. The following main trends are highlighted: natural science, technical-propagandistic, historical-revolutionary, military-patriotic, social life, history of art and culture. Special attention is given to the films that cover the topics, which have not previously been included in the field of popular science cinematography. The novelty of this research lies in classification of the thematic trends of the Leningrad film studio as an integral artistic system, as well as in comparison of the plots of popular science film texts by each direction over the two decades. As a result, the author identified the main trends, which broadened the thematic field in the work of the studio, as well as fundamentally changed the representations on the goals and tasks of popular science cinematography. The key object of popular science cinematography is being shifted during the Perestroika period. Emphasis is place not on science and technological achievements, but human and society. Film directors through their works conveyed the attitude of society towards science, raising the questions of transformation of ethics and morality in the context of scientific and technological revolution. The idea of the harm of scientific achievements and responsibility of the scholars before society is being advanced. Without any doubt, the works of the Leningrad film directors broadened the ideological-artistic range by offering the own vision of specificity of the Soviet popular science cinematography.

Humans, as agents, played an active role in the creation and communication of new identities during the Viking period in the Orkney Islands and Iceland. The authors argue that environments are not merely passive backdrops to societal and identity formation but are dynamic contributors in the negotiations that take place when humans settle into new lands. The chapter will focus on the maneuvering and balancing of traditional burial rituals and beliefs within new political, economic, and cosmological landscapes. The comparison of interdisciplinary data from burials, ancient texts, archaeological excavations, and landscape surveys from both regions during the time period of the study will show how the environment aided in the creation and performance of the burial ritual and how the agents’ reshaping of the land helped to form their new identities

The history of the library founded in 1897 at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence is marked by a very close connection with the history and profile of the Institute itself. The demand for scientific literature for research on Florentine Renaissance art and culture was the key motivation for establishing a German research library in Florence, where this art and culture flourished. But from the very beginning the holdings covered Italian art as a whole, not just the Renaissance and Florentine art. The acquisition policy as well as the internal organisation and systematic structure of the library have right up to the present day mirrored the research activities of the Institute and its scholars. With the founding of a consortium of the three German research libraries in Florence, Munich (Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte) and Rome (Bibliotheca Hertziana) in 1994, a new era began. High-profile bibliographic information, additional services and the integration of the library in Florence into this co-operative network became a further characteristic of the existing identity of the Institute and its library, which were – and continue to be – closely tied to Florence and Tuscany.

This paper concerns the main physical, philosophical and existential aspects of the ‘pre-physical’ stage in the evolution of the universe. I will discuss the ways that contemporary cosmology tries to: (1) solve the problem about the time period of the ‘pre-physical’ state; (2) answer the question whether the beginning of time was at the same time as the beginning of the existence of the Universe; (3) answer another whether the Big Bang was an absolute beginning of the existence of the Universe or only a beginning of some stage of its evolution; (4) respond to another question whether the absolute beginning of the Universe inevitably implies its creation by God or whether it allows for the possibility of the creation of the Universe in a natural way; and (5) discuss the issue of the ‘singular’ moment. All of these questions, in particular the last one, will be discussed with reference to the latest achievements in the fields of physics and cosmology.

After a short introduction of the LIS landscape in Austria, the development of LIS education for academic librarians will be discussed. Until 2004 library education in Austria consisted mainly of vocational training to which only university graduates and eventually high-school graduates were admitted. In the nineteen-nineties, with Austria joining the European Union and the creation of universities of applied sciences, LIS education became possible at the university level. For various reasons, the two established LIS programmes were discontinued after a relatively short time period. Major changes in university legislation concerning the legal autonomy of Austrian universities meant, however, that a post-graduate inter-university library and information studies programme could be launched in 2004. With the fourth revision of the curriculum in 2019, the programme has become even more aligned with international practice in terms of content, didactic methods and flexibility. The increased dynamism in library education has also had an impact on the creation of non-academic training and continuing education programmes.

This project examines the nature of contemporary childhood with a focus on changing rates of play in Queensland’s urban neighbourhoods. The Neighbourhood Play Project is a pilot project funded by the Queensland Government Department of Sport & Recreation. The purpose of the project was to examine and record the prevalence of local children’s existing play networks in urban Queensland neighbourhoods and to quantify their influence on children's physical activity and outdoor play levels. The recorded decline of Queensland children’s activity levels and physical literacy over the last 30 years – and its direct negative correlation with children’s increasing screen usage over the same time period (Active Healthy Kids Australia (2016) – necessitated a focused study on the possible causes of these changes to Queensland childhood. At the outset of the project it was hypothesised that supporting the creation and growth of local play networks would see a corresponding growth in the healthy play habits and physical activity of the children immediately involved in the project, and subsequently of other children living in the local area. A collaborative approach was employed whereby the playwork practitioners leading the project facilitated the creation and development of local neighbourhood play networks. Additionally, they talked with parents about their understanding of and engagement with neighbourhood play at the outset and throughout the project.

English: From the beginning of the creation, the art passing through different stages of civilization is continuously moving forward till the present. Chhattisgarh is a tribal dominated state. Tribal life means such a juice which is sensuous from above but sensible from within, rapturous, dejected like a deer, bright and sinless. The residents of this place have been leading a struggling life since time immemorial. Many cultures were born, flourished and flourished in this region. The heritage of the art and culture of this region is preserved in the archaeological sites here. The word 'Maharanya' is used here in the Ramayana. The remains of 'primitive art' derived from Singhanpur, Kabra, Bani, Basnajhar, Ogna, Karmagarh, Benipat and Nawagarh hills establish the art of human love of Chhattisgarh. Hindi: सृष्टि के प्रारम्भ से सभ्यता के विभिन्न सोपानों से गुजरती हुई कला वर्तमान तक निरन्तर आगे बढ़ती जा रही है। छत्तीसगढ़ एक आदिवासी बहुल राज्य है। आदिवासी जीवन अर्थात ऐसा रस जो ऊपर से निर्विकार किन्तु भीतर से संवेदी, उतावली, निर्झर के समान छलछलाता, उज्जवल एवं निष्पाप। यहाँ के निवासी आदिकाल से ही संघर्षमय जीवन व्यतीत कर रहे हैं। इस क्षेत्र में अनेक संस्कृतियाँ जन्मीं, पुष्पित-पल्लवित हुयीं। यहाँ के पुरातात्विक स्थलों में इस क्षेत्र की कला एवं संस्कृति की धरोहर सुरक्षित हैं। रामायण में यहाँ के लिये 'महारण्य' शब्द का प्रयोग किया गया है। सिंघनपुर, कबरा, बानी, बसनाझर, ओगना, कर्मागढ़, बेनीपाट तथा नवागढ़ पहाड़ी से प्राप्त 'आदिम कला' के अवशेष छत्तीसगढ़ के मानव का कला प्रेम स्थापित करते हैं।

Background. An important, still unresolved problem in this case is the creation of a full-fledged market of building materials, the creation of a comprehensive database of materials, comparative statistics in online format on quality, aesthetic, and cost indicators of these materials, recommendations on their applications. Materialsand methods. The presented research use methods of analysis, describing, and generalization of available advertising information about covering materials for interior of hotels-restaurants buildings, for their future data base for practical design. Results. The analysis of features of building and finishing materials which are widely used in design and furnish of rooms of hotels and restaurants are resulted. Summarizing the above information that takes place on the websites of manufacturers and suppliers, it should be noted that the urgent task is the need to structure and systematize such commercial information, advertising about certain materials, in particular for floor coverings. The best solution may be to create an online system, which will present a complete set of building materials for interior decoration. Such an information file can be quickly and efficiently created online with the work of a group of architects-designers, graphic designers and programmers and uploaded to a web space, such as a modular environment such as MOODLE. Conclusion. Its hould be noted that there is such an insane amount of different format and cost of building materials for interior decoration on the market. All this urgently requires a comprehensive systematization and creation of an informative data base of these materials. This will allow the designer to facilitate the preparatory work in creating exclusive and innovative design environments, as it is more than tens of thousands of textures, color patterns of textures of materials. Creation and systematization of the electronic data base – its optimization for design services in the construction market.
