The article discusses the paradoxical role that the serial killer has taken in our present socio-cultural order as a limit figure which at once represents the villain and the hero. In a historical perspective the article examines why the serial killer has been given this role through 5 tracks: First, it is argued that the historical condition of the modern idea of the serial killer is a particular kind of historicalmythologizing of the serial murders. Then it is shown how the idea of serial killer is made widely known because a new type of criminal is introduced by the FBI as an internal enemy of the state. In the third dimension it is shown how this introduction is linked to the conceptualization of the serial killer in criminology and forensic science. The fourth dimension in the history of the idea of the serial killer is the story of how the serial killer is identified as a modern version of a monster by forensic psychiatry and popular culture and is associated with a revitalization of the concept of evil. In the final dimension the spread of the idea of the serial killer is connected to our existential dealing with ourselves.

The text is based on Hubert Damish’s thesis in „A theory of (cloud): toward a history of painting“ (2002), where the cloud is interpreted as non-inclusive, not participating in the perspective model as a painting system. Respectively, the cloud as an anachronism of the picturesque as opposed to a linear (perspective) dominant Western norm (in Damish terminology) is traced as functioning in Eastern, Chinese painting itself as a kind of cultural and historical rudiment. And it is through the synthesis of painting and word in Chinese painting: 1 / it is demonstrated in contrast to Foucault’s thesis in “This is not a pipe“ how it is possible for a verbal sign and visual representation to be given simultaneously; 2) the historical origin of the letter is displayed as a sign from the image as a hieroglyphic symbol; 3) demonstrates how the third dimension is constructed not in perspective, but in a meaningful depth, and precisely through the clouds as a metaphor for the Maya (illusion) of the visible and all-in-one nature of things; 4) so summarizing: the cloud rises from scenic scope and instrument to the level of universal cultural metaphor.

AbstractRecent observational constraints restrict the strict applicability of stellar dynamics in spirals to a few rotation periods. However, stellar dynamics concepts such as periodic orbits are invaluable for understanding the various dynamical processes occurring during much more periods. A distinction of two instability types in stellar systems is pointed out, the first one being well illustrated by the bar instability, and the second one by the bar bending instability. In bars the third dimension brings essential dynamical effects which modify the views about the history of bulges and the spiral secular evolution. Bars may grow, bend, thicken, and dissolve into spheroidal bulges, and spirals may evolve along the Hubble sequence in the sense Sd→Sa. This leads to a much more dynamical picture of isolated galaxies than imagined before.

This article analyzes the three cultural starts of reasoning (ancient, modern, and current). This analysis is preceded by the history of studying reasoning in the Moscow Methodological Group, the representatives of which set the task of creating the theory of mendacity, but failed to complete. It turned out that reasoning cannot be reduced to activity not explained by semiotics. The concept of Aristotle's reasoning (the first start) is explored. He completes the tradition of norming the discursive types of activity (reasoning, proof, cognition) that comes from Parmenides and Socrates, attributes the ability to reason to an individual, and along with Plato generates a new reality in mentality. The second start of reasoning is attributed to the Modern Age, which outlined the task getting hold of nature and formed a New European creative personality. In this case, reasoning is endowed with the characteristics of constructiveness, projectivity, eventfulness, perceived as a method of creating new nature and thingness by a person, and included into the context of formation of the culture of modernity. The third start, as the emergence of a new type of reasoning, is currently developing. It is substantiated by the crisis of the culture of modernity, which caused the emergence of new types of discursive practices (interdisciplinary research, collective forms of mental activity using the Internet, development of methodology). These new types of practices require further research and norming, so are the new functions and peculiarities of reasoning.

'The Foundation of the Royal Society was one of the earliest practical fruits of the philosophical labours of Francis Bacon;' with these words Sir Archibald Geikie began the chapter on the ‘Foundation and Early History of the Royal Society' in the third edition of the Record . The statement is no doubt true in a general sense. It is, however, seldom possible to trace to a single source the inception of an idea which led to the foundation of a new type of corporate organization. The evolution and development of human institutions is, as a rule, a slow process, conditioned by many factors operating in a favourable atmosphere. As Pasteur said of scientific research : ‘le hasard ne favorise que les esprits préparés.’

This book provides a study of secularisation and secularism in the Arab World, between middle of the nineteenth century and the end of the twentieth. It approaches the its subject in the modern history of the Arab World as a set of historical changes which affected the regulation of social, political, religious and cultural order which permeated the concrete workings of society, rather than as an ideological discussion framed from the outset by the presumed opposition between Islam and secularism. The book traces social, institutional and cultural changes of a secularising character, the emergence and consolidation of a secular political and legal system, the rise of a new type of educational and political arrangements with their complement of a modern intelligentsia, the social and institutional attrition of the Muslim religious institution and the strong reformist current in Islam, the rise of modern cognitive regimes, ideologies and secular culture, and the balances of secular and religious elements in nationalism. The book traces the rise of secularist and anti-religious culture in the variety of its manifestations, and of anti-modernism as well, and the emergence of associated religious and anti-modernist currents in the wake of the 1967 war, the associated strengthening of Islamist politics and its move from the margins to the centre in the last quarter of the twentieth century.

Relating spatial patterns to ecological processes is one of the central goals of landscape ecology. The patch-corridor-matrix model and landscape metrics have been the predominant approach to describe the spatial arrangement of discrete elements ("patches") for the last two decades. However, the widely used approach of using landscape metrics for characterizing categorical map patterns is connected with a number of problems. We aim at stimulating further developments in the field of the analysis of spatio-temporal landscape patterns by providing both a critical review of existing techniques and clarifying their pros and cons as well as demonstrating how to extent common approaches in landscape ecology (e.g. the patch-corridor-matrix model). The extension into the third dimension means adding information on the relief and height of vegetation, while the fourth dimension means the temporal, dynamic aspect of landscapes. The contribution is structured around three main topics: the third dimension of landscapes, the fourth dimension of landscapes, and spatial and temporal scales in landscape analysis. Based on the results of a symposium on this theme at the IALE conference in 2009 in Salzburg and a literature review we emphasize the need to add topographic information into evaluations of landscape structure, the appropriate consideration of scales; and to consider the ambiguity and even contradiction between landscape metrics.
