This article is dedicated to conceptualization of the subject field of imagination. Imagination stops being a byproduct of the creative process. It is defined as the ability to exceed boundaries of creative process in mental combinations of the aspects of knowledge and being, sensation and reason. Research methodology is substantiated by the complementarity and intersection of different discourses on imagination on the basis of dialectics as an ancient mode of thought. Imagination is determined from the perspective of ontoepistemology and accumulation of structural-organizational attachments into image. The unity of being and knowledge (ontoepistemology) manifests in segmentation of the image and derivation of structural generalizations, all of which allow determining multiple meanings of the objects discovered by means of visualization and symbolization. Being correlate of the symbol, image is visualized, and reveals the meanings of human life. Symbol saturates image with the content. Image has power over people and their mind by not complying with the rules. Imagination is a method for reconstructing cognitive process. It is perceived as an instrument for comparing, uniting, and coordination of diverse elements of cognition. Imagination mentalizes the image, helps to comprehend it through a number of transitions, inside which takes place integration of segments of the image into a symbol. Then, through generalization of the image (symbols, words, meanings), its form turns into a text, read by the mind, for example, a rhizome that removes contradistinction of internal and external, subjective and objective. Mentalization of the image, symbolization of its segments and their translation into in the text takes place by integration of structural attachments into the image. The author suggests that this conceptual construct allows determining the role of imagination among other representations of human sciences.
Basic information on the ecology of species is key for their conservation. Here we study the ecology of the little‐known yellow‐throated bunting Emberiza elegans based on a multi‐year study on its breeding grounds in the Russian Far East. For the first time in this species, we quantified breeding habitat parameters, calculated sex‐specific apparent survival, and determined individual nonbreeding locations using light‐level geolocation. We found that the habitat around song posts of male yellow‐throated buntings is characterized by tree and shrub layers on richly littered moist ground. Habitat use overlaps with co‐occurring Tristram's Buntings Emberiza tristrami and Black‐faced Buntings E. spodocephala , but territories differ especially in tree cover and litter cover. Based on 4 years of color‐ringing data of 72 individuals, we calculated an apparent survival rate of 36%, with higher survival estimates for male than for female yellow‐throated buntings. We found no effect of carrying a geolocator on survival. We retrieved six geolocators from males. All birds migrated south‐westward during autumn and spent the nonbreeding season at locations in China 700–1700 km away from their breeding sites. At least two individuals spent the boreal winter outside of the known range in northern or central China. Birds left the breeding area between early October and early November and returned between mid‐March and mid‐April. Our data on habitat use, survival rate, and migratory connectivity will help to assess threats to the populations of this enigmatic species, which might include habitat loss due to forest fires on the breeding grounds, and unsustainable harvest for consumption during the nonbreeding season.
The article is devoted to peculiarities of the clinical course of hepatitis A. There is presented the modern view of the immunopathogenesis of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. The attention is focused on possibilities of the development of severe, fulminant course especially in patients of the old age category. The authors give the analysis of the main causes of severe fulminant forms of the disease. There are pointed out clinical and laboratory criteria for the assessment of the severity of the course of HAV infection. This article includes information on current aspects of vaccination against HAV, with the indication of the population, especially needed of vaccination
The article deals with the problem of fantasy as a form of consciousness. Ideas about consciousness change along with ideas about human nature. One form of the existence of consciousness is fantasy. Fantasy becomes a part of an anthropological study project about human existence as a reality of dominance of integrative knowledge. The era of conceptualization forms a request for awareness of a priori grounds for figurative perception of information and its living as an object in a fantasy form of consciousness. A feature of fantasy is that in the imagination there is a translation from perception into a generalized transcendental representation by creating a chain of associations, a drawing, a narrative. Non-linear description of the feelings and thoughts of a person in the epoch of romanticism, feeling surpasses intelligence. The formation of fantasy states of consciousness is associated with overcoming mirror reflection and getting into the noumenal world in higher dimensions, similar to mathematics and physics. External situation turns out to be a surface hiding fantasy as a dimension of human creative potential. Modern discussions of the reality of fantasy oppose it as a special form of reality, equal in its properties to the mind. Fantasy is the source of human experience of his being, embodied conceptually in the process of imaging. Imaginative cognition conceptually connects the experience of previous generations preserved in images with experiences in one's own life and the lives of others. As a source of creativity, fantasy extends to scientific knowledge, creating syntheses of different sciences
Objective of the study was to conduct the analysis and develop the method of forecasting of viral hepatitis A (VHA) incidence using Wald’s schedule. Materials and methods. The work is based on official statistical data of the Rospotrebnadzor on the VHA morbidity rates in the Russian Federation and Moscow city between 2010 and 2016. Results and discussion. It is established that in the overall incidence of VHA cases in the Russian Federation over the period of 2010–2016, 67.7 % were registered among adults and 32.3 % – among children; as for the incidence among adults in Moscow, it accounted for 79.8 %, and for children – 20.2 %. To assess epidemiological situation on VHA, forecasting approach using Wald’s schedule was put forward. Based on the results of the analysis conducted, the threshold values for morbidity rates among adult population in Moscow stood at 38 cases, fluctuations in mean values ranged from 48 to 63 cases. It is shown that the total minimum and maximum levels of morbidity among adult population in 2017 would account for 180 and 624 cases, respectively. Forecast of incidence among children is determined on an accrual basis: minimum monthly level – 7 cases, maximum – 17. Monthly growth of infection is 0.9 cases. It is revealed that possible cumulative minimum and maximum morbidity rates among children would amount to 84 and 204 cases in 2017, respectively. The proposed method of Wald’s schedule for VHA incidence forecasting will allow for determining both monthly minimum and maximum rates of infection for the upcoming period and provide for timely planning of anti-epidemic measures.
In the review the data concerning an etiopathogenesis and clinical manifestations of the acute liver failure (ALF) and also potential options of alternative treatment are considered: Orthotopic transplantation of liver and modern approaches to patient maintenance. The ALF syndrome, despite the progress in the intensive therapy modes, represents a clinical syndrome with the high mortality rate. In healthy adults, especially in cases aged of up to 30 years ALF syndrome represents a significant intredisciplinary problem in terms of diagnostics and maintenance tactics. The clinical picture is most often presented by the hepatic dysfunction, development of a coagulopathy and change of biochemical indices of the liver function, with the development of encephalopathy and polyorganic insufficiency. The lethality rate in this syndrome reaches 50%. The high mortality rate, severity of the course, etiologic heterogeneity causes the need of the development of standards for the supporting therapy. Thanks to achievements in the field of the intensive therapy and the use of the emergency transplantation of a liver allograft survival indices have considerably been improved in recent years.
This article discusses the essence of the educational process. The subject of the study is knowledge management as an emerging trend of systematization of effective factors in the development of education. Philosophical ideas of self-organization and involvement of holistic thinking, contextual vision of the situation in the educational process play a special role. The perspective of the development of education is connected with the peculiarities of the influence of globalist and postmodern worldviews on approaches to educational activities and knowledge management in general. The methodological basis of the study is a holistic approach to education. The formation of the unity of the educational process is connected with the distribution of educational initiatives on an equal footing between the teacher and the students of the higher school. The results of the study emphasize the need for the teacher to master the position of a creative manager in taking into account the many positions of self-education of students in the space of social communication management. In response, students as students need philosophical and psychological preparation for managing their education and a high level of reflection in controlling their ways of mastering knowledge and accompanying social relations. The novelty of the work lies in determining the role, necessity, area of responsibility and list of competencies of a creative manager – an expert in educational activities. It arises when there is a figurative connection among students and their adjustment to a contextual vision of the situation. The scope of application of the results is any educational process in which students are involved – from higher education to corporate training. The modern educational system must meet the challenges of digital reality with its ubiquity of information. The approach to student education should be refocused on the constant exchange of teacher-student roles between student and teacher. For the competent implementation of the exchange of roles, students must be properly prepared. The quality of education should be monitored by a special expert with the necessary competencies in the field of knowledge management.
