The chronotope issue has been relevant in literary criticism for several decades. Furthermore, Plato argued that the essence of art is an imitation of real life. Aristotle pointed out that art creates its own world as something possible or probable and thereby reveals the essential properties of the real world. This article attempts to summarize the main research results on the problem of spatial images and the chronotope as a whole and thereby determine what is the specificity of the image of space, what is its role in a particular work. The purpose of the study is to establish the role of the chronotope in the recreation of the artistic image of Kazakhstan. In modern prose, chronotopic parameters are traced, the topography and symbolism of urban space are examined and its essential characteristics are given. In our opinion, the chronotope is an important modeling tool of literature. The appeal to this problem is due to the fact that the organization of the chronotope in the modern literature of Kazakhstan has become much more complicated in comparison with the traditional space-time paradigms. Anel Meken and Anastasia Skripnikova demonstrate their virtuoso «play with time and space». Time and space set the parameters of the artistic world of the work. Their relationship in prose reflects the structure of the author's consciousness, their worldview, and the system of philosophical ideas and, therefore, their interpretation is a search for means of expressing the author's idea. The study of the categories of time and space allows one to penetrate deeper into the «fabric» of a work of art, to reveal the specifics of its construction, to determine the concept of the writer's world. However, despite such different positions of researchers, controversy continues to this day in literary criticism.

This article is an attempt to prepare an image. But this time the image falls not into a plot (like a storyline) and composition, but into time and space. It has been repeatedly noted (especially it is subject to literary criticism) that the image (in this case an artistic image) builds its own space-time grid of coordinates, and therefore time and space can gallantly violate the laws of physics here. Also, one of the main obvious goals of this culturologicalinvestigation is a comparison of the methods and techniques of poetry and prose, a handholdof the specifics of time’s and space’s expression in verse and novelistics.This goal is realized by referring to the oeuvre of Nestor Pilyavsky. Nestor is a Russian writer and an author of the book "Western Liao". This work simultaneously demonstrates a phenomenon that can be called a mythologization of space, and also the structure of the book is distinguished by a combination of poetic components and prose narratives. In addition, the same theme slips in the reflections of the last great French novelist – Marcel Proust, who emphasizes the differences in the representation of the world that is performed by a poet or a novelist, concordantly. However, if Marcel Proust in the work “In Search of Lost Time" (as can be seen from the title of this epic work) was looking for time, then Nestor Pilyavsky in his book "Western Liao" is looking for space. He wants to return to some past, perhaps he wants to go home (and the name "Nestor" means "whoever that comes home"). Space-time problems erase the boundaries between conventional linear division into the past, the present and the future. It can be seen that a creative workdestroys this separation, the destruction of which is revealed most clearly in modern decadent movements. Decadence is a characteristic feature of any transitional, intermediate period when the balance of life is violated and when it is difficult to draw a dividing line between genius,brilliance, and insanity. Decadence is a period of time and a point in space when it is difficult to distinguishdreams and reality from each other. Nestor Pilyavsky calls himself a decadent not without good reason. But modernity, which turns out to be the destruction of the habitual norms of life, is often drawn by the emptiness of the imagination by nothing more than a new, cyclical decadence, and "Western Liao" is an excellent attempt to invent a new, suitable space.

The uprisings and protest movements of 2011 (the so-called Arab Spring, "indignados," Occupy Wall Street, etc.) have been widely considered groundbreaking because of their leaderless structures. Owing to the absence of unequivocally leading figures, the symbolic and practical role of urban space has been emphasized in popular media and scholarship alike. Next to the widely circulated and discussed images of Tahrir Square, Puerta del Sol, and Zucotti Park, however, another type of image has been prevalent, that of a revolutionary woman. In response to W.J.T. Mitchell's article "Image, Space, Revolution: The Arts of Occupation" (2012), the author argues that the reasons for the focus of recent revolutionary imagery on women cannot be reduced to the allegedly feminine character of nonviolence, but are much more complex and entail far-reaching consequences. Lisiak engages with two images Mitchell quotes as iconic of the 2011 revolutions – the ballerina from the Occupy Wall Street poster and the "blue bra girl" beaten and disrobed by the military police in Tahrir Square – and discuss their cultural and historical significance. These two images represent two major tropes prevalent in revolutionary iconography: woman as a symbol of revolutionary ideals and woman as a symbol of the failure of revolution. Further, the author proposes that revolutionary images centered on women, both real-life and fictional, belong to what Ariella Azoulay calls the "language of revolution".

Metaphysics, which deals with concepts such as existence, existentialism, space and god in its general content, is a branch of philosophy. It sought answers to questions related to these concepts through methods and perspectives different from science. The reason for all these questions is the effort to define the universe. Metaphysical philosophy has been the search for a solution to helplessness caused by the uncertainties caused throughout the history by life and death. Perspectives developed in parallel with the perception of the period have also shaped the questions and propositions. All these metaphysical approaches do not contain a definition that is independent of time and space. Time and space, as one of the most fundamental problematics of metaphysics, are accepted as the most important elements in placing and making sense of the human into the universe. In this context, metaphysics, which has a transphysical perspective as well as the accepted scientific expansions of real and reality, was mostly visible in the field of art rather than science. The aim of this article is to analyze the role of metaphysical philosophy in the emergence of metaphysical art in the context of the effects of social events, especially the destructions and disappointments caused by the world wars in the 20th century, on the artists and the reflections of the existential inquiries related to this. Furthermore this study includes definitions and processes of metaphysics. The works of Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carra have been interpreted in terms of form and content within the scope of metaphysics by considering the concepts of time-space. Keywords: Metaphysics, Space, Time, Metaphysical Art

The global trend of digitalization and publishing of historical sources, in particular fiction and its existence in different eras, makes the reader constantly reconsider the lives and work of persons who are regarded as prototypes of characters in literary works. As a result, an artistic image, linked to real life and rooted in the past, generates a consistent literary story in the form of artistic biography. The number and variety of such literary works, including dramatic ones, is constantly growing, which determines the topicality of this study. Over the recent decades, biographical fiction drastically changed its forms, and was enriched with numerous genre varieties and modifications. And this process remains far from complete. The term ‘meta-genre of artistic biography’ is introduced to designate it. This term emphasizes the scale of a certain phenomenon and allows defining the subject of the study — the artistic biographical description of the intellectual in contemporary Ukrainian drama — as well as clarify the understanding of the concept of the ‘intellectual,’ and problematize ways of describing characters of this type. The purpose of the article is to identify the genre-style unity of Ukraine’s modern drama about intellectuals and prove the expediency of the application to it of interpretive approaches to popular knowledge from related areas (history, philosophy, art). Specifically, such varieties of genres as personal artistic biography and intellectual artistic biography were singled out and proposed for the first time on the literary material (S. Rosovetskyi), and that is the research novelty. The research methodology is defined by an interdisciplinary approach that appeals to the achievements of literary criticism, art criticism, history, and philosophy. Results of the Study are connected with considerations that the interest in the artistic biography of the intellectual is associated with a general trend to anthropologize scientific knowledge, coupled with the growing interest of the audience in the individual and personal in the history and in the present, with the dominance of the emotional component in contemporary media discourses, resulting in the actualization of an emotional narrative of the intellectual’s biography, which often sounds tragic nowadays in the context of the catastrophic past of the Ukrainian science and culture.

Abstract: PMRI  is a realistic mathematics education which employs real life problems that are considered appropriate to the students’ minds. PMRI is developed with reference to constructivist philosophy. PMRI is in line with the new paradigm of education in Indonesia, which is to improve the quality of mathematics education that is solely dominated by the issue on how to improve students’ understanding of mathematicsand develop reasoning skill. In this regard, the real world is mainly used as a starting point for the development of ideas and concepts of Mathematics. The role of teacher is only as a guide and facilitator for students in the process of reconstructing their ideas and concepts of Mathematics. Additionally, through the learning activities assisted by the teacher, it is expected that students can find the characteristics, definitions, theorems, or rules themselves. Students are encouraged to understand mathematics through real-world contexts frequently faced or the things that can be possibly imagined by them. Mathematics learning cannot be separated from its nature when someoneattempts to search a problem, solve the problem and organize the subject matter. Hence, Mathematics learning should be directed to the use of situations and opportunities thatallow students to reinvent mathematics by their own efforts.

Emergence of non-mainstream way of women representations in soap operas, where women are constructed as an independent individual, brought an impact to the patterns of relation between men and women. If we look at Indonesian soap operas, there are not many of them that can manage to present a non-mainstream construction of female characters. The shift on women representation is associated to how the men were represented in said soap operas, therefore this is a form of the role of the media in altering gender stigma in the society. However, in the process of construction there is a new reality presented by the media through soap operas. Baudrillard established that hyperreality is a condition in which the reality that are presented by the media overtook the real world. This makes the society, as a consumer, became convinced that the newreality is a description of real life. This research is a qualitative study on a sitcom titled Tetangga Masa Gitu? with the analysis on the contents of the sinetron. Relation between men and women shown in this sitcom is based on the factors of economic ownership, resulting in hyperreality in the patterns of relation.Munculnya representasi perempuan yang tidak mainstream di dalam sinetron, dimana perempuan dikonstruksikan sebagai individu yang independen berdampak kepada pola relasi antara perempuan dan laki-laki. Apabila melihat kondisi sinetron di Indonesia, belum banyak sinetron yang berhasil menampilkan konstruksi yang tidak mainstreamterhadap tokoh perempuan. Perubahan konstruksi perempuan tidak terlepas dari bagaimana konstruksi laki-laki ditampilkan di dalam sinetron tersebut sehingga hal ini merupakan salah satu bentuk peran media dalam mengubah stigma peran gender kepada masyarakat. Namun dalam proses konstruksi tersebut terdapat suatu realitas baru yang ditampilkan oleh media melalui sinetron. Baudrillard menjelaskan bahwa hiperrealitas merupakan suatu kondisi dimana realitas yang dibangun di dalam mediamelebihi kondisi yang sebenarnya. Hal seperti ini menjadikan masyarakat sebagai konsumen meyakini realitas baru tersebut sebagai ilustrasi dalam kehidupan nyata. Penelitian ini merupakan suatu penelitian kualitatif terhadap sinetron komedi Tetangga Masa Gitu? dengan menggunakan metode analisis isi wacana sinetron. Relasi antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam sinetron ini ditunjukan oleh adanya faktor kepemilikan ekonomi dalam diri perempuan sehingga pola relasi yang terjadi menunjukan adanya kondisi hiperrealitas.

Abstract. The causal role of a unidirectional orthography in shaping speakers’ mental representations of time seems to be well established by many psychological experiments. However, the question of whether bidirectional writing systems in some languages can also produce such an impact on temporal cognition remains unresolved. To address this issue, the present study focused on Japanese and Taiwanese, both of which have a similar mix of texts written horizontally from left to right (HLR) and vertically from top to bottom (VTB). Two experiments were performed which recruited Japanese and Taiwanese speakers as participants. Experiment 1 used an explicit temporal arrangement design, and Experiment 2 measured implicit space-time associations in participants along the horizontal (left/right) and the vertical (up/down) axis. Converging evidence gathered from the two experiments demonstrate that neither Japanese speakers nor Taiwanese speakers aligned their vertical representations of time with the VTB writing orientation. Along the horizontal axis, only Japanese speakers encoded elapsing time into a left-to-right linear layout, which was commensurate with the HLR writing direction. Therefore, two distinct writing orientations of a language could not bring about two coexisting mental time lines. Possible theoretical implications underlying the findings are discussed.

Current ambulatory technologies are highly relevant for neuropsychological assessment and treatment as they provide a gateway to real life data. Ambulatory assessment of cognitive complaints, skills and emotional states in natural contexts provides information that has a greater ecological validity than traditional assessment approaches. This issue presents an overview of current technological and methodological innovations, opportunities, problems and limitations of these methods designed for the context-sensitive measurement of cognitive, emotional and behavioral function. The usefulness of selected ambulatory approaches is demonstrated and their relevance for an ecologically valid neuropsychology is highlighted.

The author of the publication reviews the photobook “Palimpsests”, published in 2018 in the publishing house “Ad Marginem Press” with the support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation. The book presents photos of post-Soviet cities taken by M. Sher. Preface, the author of which is the coordinator of the “Democracy” program of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Russia N. Fatykhova, as well as articles by M. Trudolyubov and K. Bush, which accompany these photos, contain explanation of the peculiarities of urban space formation and patterns of its habitation in the Soviet Union times and in the post-Soviet period. The author of the publication highly appreciates the publication under review. Analyzing the photographic works of M. Sher and their interpretation undertaken in the articles, the author of the publication agrees with the main conclusions of N. Fatykhova, M. Trudolyubov and K. Bush with regards to the importance of the role of the state in the processes of urban development and urbanization in the Soviet and post-Soviet space, but points out that the second factor that has a key influence on these processes is ownership relations. The paper positively assesses the approach proposed by the authors of the photobook to the study of the post-Soviet city as an architectural and landscape palimpsest consisting mainly of two layers, “socialist” and “capitalist”. The author of the publication specifically emphasizes the importance of analyzing the archetypal component of this palimpsest, pointing out that the articles published in the reviewed book do not pay sufficient attention to this issue. Particular importance is attributed by the author to the issue of metageography of post-Soviet cities and meta-geographical approach to their exploration. Emphasizing that the urban palimpsest is a system of realities, each in turn including a multitude of ideas, meanings, symbols, and interpretations, the author points out that the photobook “Palimpsests” is actually an invitation to a scientific game with space, which should start a new direction in the study of post-Soviet urban space.

Background : The day-ahead load forecasting is an essential guideline for power generating, and it is of considerable significance in power dispatch. Objective: Most of the existing load probability prediction methods use historical data to predict a single area, and rarely use the correlation of load time and space to improve the accuracy of load prediction. Methods: This paper presents a method for day-ahead load probability prediction based on space-time correction. Firstly, the kernel density estimation (KDE) is employed to model the prediction error of the long short-term memory (LSTM) model, and the residual distribution is obtained. Then the correlation value is used to modify the time and space dimensions of the test set's partial period prediction values. Results: The experiment selected three years of load data in 10 areas of a city in northern China. The MAPE of the two modified models on their respective test sets can be reduced by an average of 10.2% and 6.1% compared to previous results. The interval coverage of the probability prediction can be increased by an average of 4.2% and 1.8% than before. Conclusion: The test results show that the proposed correction schemes are feasible.
