THE IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ON THE SOCIO-CULTURAL EVOLUTION OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES

The determining factor of socio-cultural transformation is industrial and economic modernization, which changes the structure of the world economy as a whole. The leading trend in the development of civilization is the desire for uniformity, which leads to the need to analyze the combination, correlation, interaction of “modernized” and “traditional” forms of development of local communities. The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of the processes of production and economic modernization on the modification of sociocultural development, to determine the relationships and interdependencies of the economy, culture and sociality, to identify cause-and-effect relationships and trends in the evolution of the sociocultural sphere. Materials and methods. The study of the processes of production, economic and socio-cultural transformation within the framework of a polyparadigm approach allows using a set of research paradigms, within which various aspects of modernization are considered. The civilizational approach makes it possible to explain the problem of correlation, interaction of general civilizational universals and local specifics. Results. The article shows that the main trends in the production, economic and socio-cultural development of local communities are formed under the influence of internal and external factors. Modification of the production and economic sphere contributes to the evolution of culture and sociality, determines the structure of the life of local communities, forms a new system of diverse processes of activity. There are destructive tendencies leading to the disintegration of the integrity of the socio-cultural space, a decrease in the stabilizing potential of the traditional way of local communities, followed by pauperization and marginalization of a significant part of the population. The diversification of production and economic activities contributes to the modification of the socio-cultural way of life, the transition from the paradigm of maintaining the stability of traditions to the paradigm of innovative changes. Practical implications. The results can be used for further research into the processes of sociocultural development and in the process of teaching social disciplines

Particularities of spatial kinetics of hybrid thorium reactor installation containing the long neutron source based on magnetic trap

In this work, we study the features of the spatial kinetics of installation as a hybrid thorium reactor with an elongated plasma neutron source based on a magnetic trap. The active zone of the installation under study consists of an assembly of hexagonal fuel blocks of a unified design and a long solenoid with a high-temperature plasma column passing through the axial region of the core. Combining engineering expertise in creating nuclear reactors with a physics-technical potential for obtaining high-temperature plasma in a long magnetic trap we ensure the solution of the multidisciplinary problem posed. These studies are of undoubted practical interest, since they are necessary to substantiate the safety of operation of such hybrid systems. The research results will allow optimizing the active zone of the hybrid system with leveling the resulting offset radial and axial energy release distributions. Results of our study will be the basis for the development of new and improvement of existing methods of criticality control in related systems such as "pulsed neutron source - subcritical fuel assembly"

Neutron data field in a fission reactor core with fusion neutron source at pulse-periodic operation

Results are presented on the distinctive features of the energy release dynamics in the hybrid thorium reactor operating in combination with the neutron source based on the extended magnetic mirror trap. In the reactor core configuration under study, the high-temperature plasma column is formed in a pulse-periodic mode. At a certain duty cycle (pulse ratio) of the plasma column formation, it can be expected that the fission "wave" will be formed diverging from the axial region of the system and propagating in the radial direction in the fuel assembly (blanket). Under such conditions, in order to correct the resulting offset of the energy release distribution, it is necessary to optimize the fuel composition of the assembly in order to obtain the most appropriate radial distributions of physical parameters. The studies are carried out on the basis of the full-scale model of the reactor core, in which the axial region is modified: the extended magnetic mirror trap operating as a source of fusion neutrons is installed in the reactor core axial region

Dostoevsky’s and Frank’s ideas of freedom

One of the most important questions of the religious-philosophical anthropological concept of S.L. Franck are questions about the close relationship between man and God, about sin and suffering, and about the definition of the boundaries of his freedom. In the definition of freedom and its main points, it proceeds not only from Western philosophical thought, but also from the anthropological views and ideas of F. M. Dostoevsky. According to Frank, as in Dostoevsky, the disclosure of the fullness of freedom in man is interconnected with the doctrine of human freedom as self-determination in good and in God, accepting sufering as an indispensable component in his salvation. The article is devoted to the comparison of the basic anthropological and personality concepts, as well as the idea of freedom and its characteristics in the works and works of both thinkers, in order to trace the continuity of Dostoevsky’s tradition with Frank in the framework of his anthropology and personalism in order to prove that for him human freedom and self-Man is an absolute value, his anthropology can be viewed in the context of his philosophy of unity and not contradict it

The effect of repolarization duration on the indices of the pump function of the heart ventricles in animals with different types of activation of the myocardium under ectopic excitation of ventricles

Background — The aim of the work was to study the influence of myocardial repolarization on the indices of the pump function in animals with different types of the myocardial activation (dog, amphibians) under ectopic excitation of the ventricles. Material and Methods — Intraventricular blood pressure in animals was measured using a hemodynamic Prucka MacLab 2000 system under basal and apical locations of the stimulating electrode on the ventricles of the heart. The activation-recovery intervals (ARIs) were determined from unipolar myocardial electrograms recorded in the intramural layers of apical and basal parts of the ventricles in dog (n=16) and amphibians (toads Bufo bufo, n=11; frogs Rana temporaria, n=23). Data are presented as median with lower and upper quartiles. Results — The pacing of the left ventricle apical area in dogs with more prolonged ARIs, as compared with the base, does not change the isovolumic indices of the left ventricle pump function. However, ARIs were longer at the ventricular base – 248 (206, 260) ms for dog’s right ventricle and 742 (680, 929) ms for froggy ventricle, as compared with the apex in the canine right ventricle – 238 (219, 249) ms, and the ventricle in the amphibians – 692 (637, 860) ms. Therefore, pacing of the right ventricle in the apical area in dog and ventricular apex in amphibians leads to a significant decrease of their pump function. Conclusion — In the animals with successive (amphibians) and flash-successive (dog) types of activation of the myocardium, parameters of the pump function of ventricles were better at pacing of the area with the longest repolarization at the baseline and worse at pacing of the shortest repolarization area

Power density dynamics in a nuclear reactor with an extended in-core pulse-periodic neutron source based on a magnetic trap

The article examines the features of the spatial kinetics of an innovative hybrid nuclear power facility with an extended neutron source based on a magnetic trap. The fusion-fission facility under study includes a reactor plant, the core of which consists of an assembly of thorium-plutonium fuel blocks of the HGTRU reactor of a unified design and a long magnetic trap that penetrates the near-axial region of the core. The engineering solution for the neutron plasma generator is based on an operating gas-dynamic trap based on a fusion neutron source (GDT-FNS) developed at the Novosibirsk G.I. Budker Nuclear Physics Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The GDT-FNS high-temperature plasma pinch is formed in pulse-periodic mode in the investigated hybrid facility configuration, and, at a certain pulse rate, one should expect the formation of a fission wave that diverges from the axial part of the system and propagates throughout the fuel block assembly in a time correlation with the fast D-D neutron pulse source. In these conditions, it is essential to study the fission wave propagation process and, accordingly, the power density distribution formation within the facility blanket. The paper presents the results of a study on the steady-state and space-time performances of neutron fluxes and the power density dynamics in the facility under investigation. The steady-state neutronic performance and the space-time fission wave propagation were simulated using the PRIZMA software package developed at FSUE RFNC-VNIITF
