Book Review: Russia Abroad: An Anthology of Modern Philosophical Thought

“In September and November 1922, two ‘philosophical steamboats-‘ – the “Oberburgomaster Haken” and the “Prussia”- transported about 160 people from the Soviet city of Petrograd to the German city of Stettin. ‘Outstanding figures of Russian philosophy, culture and science’ were forced to emigrate including Nikolai Berdyaev, Semyon Frank, Ivan Ilyin, Lev Karsavin, Nikolai Lossky and many others. ” This is how Mikhail Sergeev, Doctor of Philosophy of the University of the Arts (Philadelphia, USA), and the initiator and compiler of Russia Abroad: An Anthology of Modern Philosophical Thought begins his preface

On the spectrum of a Hamiltonian defined on su_q(2) and quantum optical models

Analytical expressions are given for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a Hamiltonian with su_q(2) dynamical symmetry. The relevance of such an operator in Quantum Optics is discussed. As an application, the ground state energy in the Dicke model is studied through su_q(2) perturbation theory.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, content change

The trace element blood composition variation of acute interstitial pancreatitis

Acute interstitial pancreatitis (AIP) is an acute inflammatory disease of the pancreatic gland with autodigestion of pancreatic tissue often incurring variable damage to adjacent organs. Objective: To improve the diagnostic results of acute pancreatitis which are based on the level of trace elements in blood plasma.

The giant effect of magnetic ordering on a sound velocity in a sigma-Fe55Cr45 alloy

We studied atomic dynamics of sigma-Fe(100-x)Cr(x) (x=45 and 49.5) alloys using nuclear inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation. For the sigma-Fe55Cr45 alloy, the derived reduced iron-partial density of phonon states reveal a huge difference in the low-energy region between magnetic and paramagnetic states. The latter implies a ca.36% increase of the sound velocity in the magnetic phase, which testifies to a magnetically-induced hardening of the lattice.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, 17 reference

Role of QCD compositeness in the production of scalar and tensor mesons through single-photon annihilation e+e−→γ∗→γS(T)e^+ e^- \to \gamma^* \to \gamma S(T)

We study the exclusive production of scalar $S = 0^{++}$ and tensor $T = 2^{++}$ mesons through single-photon annihilation $e^+ e^- \to \gamma^* \to \gamma S(T)$. Using QCD compositeness of the involved hadrons considered as quark-antiquark systems, the prediction for the scaling of the differential cross sections of these processes is $d\sigma/dt \sim 1/s^3$ at large $s$. We further derive the scaling of the $\gamma^\ast \to \gamma S$ and $\gamma^\ast \to \gamma T$ transition form factors: $F_{\gamma^\ast\gamma S}(s) \sim 1/s$ and $F_{\gamma^\ast\gamma T}(s) \sim 1/s^2$. Results for the respective cross sections of the scalar and tensor meson production are presented. Note, when scalar and tensor mesons are considered as tetraquark systems of two tightly bound color diquarks, corresponding to them transition form factors and differential cross sections have the same falloffs as in case of quark-antiquark picture. For other tetraquark or two-hadron molecules configurations the transition form factors $F_{\gamma^\ast\gamma S(T)}(s)$ and the differential cross section $d\sigma/dt$ have additional $1/s$ and $1/s^2$ falloffs, respectively.Comment: 7 page

A behavior model of the viscoelastic system with a melting component under load

A numerical investigation of a stressed-strain state powder mixture with a melting component is carried out for the conditions of one-axial loading and nonstationary heating. The state of plane stress was assumed. The influence of the coupling between thermal and mechanical processes on temperature, stress and strains fields was investigated

Philosofy as an element of national culture

The report focuses on the role of philosophy in public culture, as well as the analysis of philosophy of the Soviet period. Shows directed evolution of nature and society, indicating the presence of self-regulatory processes. Identified the lack of understanding of self-management within the framework of dialectical materialism and the fallacy of the materialist conception of history is subjective laws of historical materialism. Materialistic delusions of historical materialism overcome in the concept of a regulatory mechanism for the development of society. It is established that the mind of man and society are the subjects of management, the surrounding Genesis - control object. The limitations of dialectical materialism, as well as the mistakes and errors of historical materialism mean the loss of their scientific value. The necessity of development of the common materialistic regulatory dialectic philosophy, which is based on materialism associated with the understanding of the primacy of matter and secondary consciousness, self-governing nature of the interaction of the elements of nature and society, as well as the system of laws of dialectics, which will provide scientific philosophical understanding of the development of life.Доклад посвящён роли философии в общественной культуре, а также анализу философии советского периода. Показано направленное развитие природы и общества, свидетельствующее о наличие самоуправляемых процессов. Выявлено отсутствие понимания самоуправляемости в рамках диалектического материализма и ошибочность материалистического понимания истории – субъективной закономерности истмата. Материалистические заблуждения истмата преодолены в концепции регулятивного механизма развития общества. Установлено, что сознание человека и общества являются субъектами управления, окружающее бытие – объектом управления. Ограниченность диамата, а также ошибки и заблуждения истмата означают потерю ими научного значения. Показана необходимость развития единой материалистической регулятивно – диалектической философии, в которой основой является материализм, связанный с пониманием первичности материи и вторичности сознания, самоуправляемый характер взаимодействия элементов природы и общества, а также системные закономерности диалектики, что обеспечит научность философского осмысления развития бытия
