Hyperreality, simulacra and simulations in virtual space as a phenomenon of «antisocial» theory by Jean Baudrillard

An attempt has been made to apply the scientific approaches of Jean Baudrillard’s anti-social theory, as well as the concepts of hyperreality, simulacra and simulation, used by him for the understanding of social phenomena, occurences and processes in the modern virtual space. The following interpretation of the characteristics of the Internet space has been proposed: a) the Internet can be considered within the framework of Jean Baudrillard’s concept as an example of antireality, since it is possible to preserve anonymity, invent a new life, use other people’s photos, etc.; b) communication in the virtual Internet is, in its essence, a simulation of communication, that is, its surrogate (simulacrum); in this case, the former contact form of communication is replaced by indirect – communication is carried out through social networks and messengers; c) there is a depletion of content and primitivization of expression of emotions, as in virtual communication uses a set of standard phrases, standard themes, emoticons, pictures, exchange of memes and other simulacra that are included in everyday social practices. On the example of the analysis of the results of the sociological research project, implemented at the State University of Management, the practical procedures of their interpretation within the framework of the scientific concept of Jean Baudrillard have been carried out. For example, it has been revealed, that despite the life experience of respondents in the majority of fake Internet content, they all also largely feel comfortable in  a virtual, potentially dangerous environment. Moreover, this environment becomes vital for them: young people spread their lives, their thoughts, desires, value systems, hidden hopes and dreams on public display. This image of social activity becomes for the majority so necessary element of self-realization, that ceases to be a part of this process, and becomes independent, integral, lying outside the person phenomenon

Signatures of Electronic Correlations in Optical Properties of LaFeAsO1−x_{1-x}Fx_x

Spectroscopic ellipsometry is used to determine the dielectric function of the superconducting LaFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$ ($T_c$ = 27 K) and undoped LaFeAsO polycrystalline samples in the wide range 0.01-6.5 eV at temperatures 10 $\leq T \leq$ 350 K. The free charge carrier response in both samples is heavily damped with the effective carrier density as low as 0.040$\pm$0.005 electrons per unit cell. The spectral weight transfer in the undoped LaFeAsO associated with opening of the pseudogap at about 0.65 eV is restricted at energies below 2 eV. The spectra of superconducting LaFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$ reveal a significant transfer of the spectral weight to a broad optical band above 4 eV with increasing temperature. Our data may imply that the electronic states near the Fermi surface are strongly renormalized due to electron-phonon and/or electron-electron interactions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, units in Fig.2 adde

Infrared studies of a La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3 single crystal: Optical magnetoconductivity in a half-metallic ferromagnet

The infrared reflectivity of a La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3 single crystal is studied over a broad range of temperatures (78–340 K), magnetic fields (0–16 T), and wave numbers (20–9000cm^(-1)). The optical conductivity gradually changes from a Drude-like behavior to a broad peak feature near 5000cm-1 in the ferromagnetic state below the Curie temperature T_C=307K. Various features of the optical conductivity bear striking resemblance to recent theoretical predictions based on the interplay between the double exchange interaction and the Jahn-Teller electron-phonon coupling. A large optical magnetoconductivity is observed near T_C

Oxidative dehydrogenation of 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-hydroquinone in the presence of titanium dioxide hydrogel

Liquid-phase oxidative dehydrogenation of 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-hydroquinone in the presence of titanium dioxide hydrogel was studied by a kinetic method. Associative interactions between the substrate, oxidant, and gel were detected by voltammetry and ESR and IR spectroscopy.Russian Foundation for Basic Researc

ASSESSMENT OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF RUSSIAN BANKS AND WAYS TO IMPROVE

The indicators, necessary for the improvement of the system of assessment of the financial condition of the banks of Russia, have been analyzed. The reasons of inefficient assessment of the bank’s activity results and the resulting negative consequences have been considered. The hypothesis about the necessity of application of methods of forecasting at acceptance of strategically important administrative decisions and expert estimation of a current situation for avoidance of the critical situations, leading to bankruptcy and insolvency in the sphere of bank activity has been put forward. The main causes of crisis situations occurrence, taking into account the dynamics of external and internal indicators, have been considered. A list of indicators, consisting of two groups that should be taken into account when assessing the financial condition of Russian banks, has been presented. Despite the apparent transparency of the indicators under study, a practical problem of forming a single methodology arises, that would lead to a significant increase in the adequacy of assessment of the performance of Russian banks
