The Cultural Heritage of the Urals: Preservation of Historical Memory (to the Statement of the Problem)

The article considers the problem of preservation of cultural heritage at the present stage of development of Russian society. The theoretical aspects of the concept of cultural heritage are updated. The complexity and ambiguity of the phenomenon of cultural heritage itself led to its understanding through the prism of the well-known formula “culture, first of all, memory” explaining the diverse internal contacts between the problem of preserving cultural heritage and the problem of perceiving culture itself as its bearer. The situation with the protection of cultural heritage in the Middle Urals is analyzed. Cultural heritage is shown as a factor in historical memory and an important component of public consciousness.В статье рассматривается проблема сохранения культурного наследия на современном этапе развития российского общества. Актуализированы теоретические аспекты понятия культурного наследия.

Проанализирована ситуация с охраной культурного наследия на Среднем Урале. Культурное наследие показано как фактор исторической памяти и важная составляющая общественного сознания

Late Quaternary Distribution of the Cycladophora davisiana Radiolarian Species: Reflection of Possible Ventilation of the North Pacific Intermediate Water during the Last Glacial Maximum

A comparison of micropaleontological data on the distribution of the Cycladophora davisiana radiolarian species in the surface sediment layer and the Late Quaternary sediments from the Subarctic Pacific and Far East marginal seas allowed conclusions concerning the possible conditions and occurrence of intermediate waters during the last glacial maximum. We used the modern data on the C. davisiana species, which is a micropaleontological indicator of the cold oxygen-rich upper intermediate water mass, which is now forming only in the Sea of Okhotsk. The high amount of C. davisiana in sediments of the last glacial maximum may point to the possible formation and expansion of the ventilated intermediate water in the most part of the Subarctic paleo-Pacific: the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, within the NW Gyre, and in the Gulf of Alaska

Cultural and Educational Practices in the Museum Environment: Transmission of Cultural Heritage

Received 4 June 2020. Accepted 20 November 2020. Published online 29 December 2020.In the age of digitalisation and globalisation, one of the essential tasks addressed at the level of cultural policy, having relevance for all generations, consists in the preservation of cultural heritage. Cultural and educational practices, integrated in the preschool-, school- and higher education environments and aimed at the formation of the worldview and identity of the younger generation, are considered by the authors as effective and relevant mechanisms for transmitting the memory of values, meanings, places, cultural artefacts, etc. Therefore, it seems advisable for the organisers of multi-level projects to address the potential of the museum as a cultural institute. Today, museums are oriented towards a wide variety of visitors, including professionals and creative audiences of all ages, in the presented activities and services. The transmission of cultural memory in the museum environment is implemented not only in traditional ways, but also through contemporary information and media technologies. The introduction of the younger generation to cultural heritage provides them with an opportunity to experience significant values and meanings of the cultural space and time of the city, region, or country at the personal level.The work was supported by the grant of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, (No. 17-29-09136/18)

Investigation of cascade showers in the Cherenkov water detector NEVOD

A technique for the reconstruction of cascade profiles by means of Cherenkov radiation in the water of the NEVOD detector is discussed. NEVOD is equipped with a dense spatial lattice of optical modules. The analyzed cascades have been generated either along near-horizontal muons (zenith angles between 85 and 90°), which's tracks are reconstructed by means of the tracking detector DECOR, or by muons with unknown tracks over a wider zenith angle range of 50-90°. Mean cascade profiles and energy spectra of cascades measured during the experimental series of about 7950 hours of 'live time' are presented
