This yearbook is the fourth in the series with the title Globalistics and Globalization Studies. The subtitle of the present volume is Global History & Big History. The point is that today our global world really demands global knowledge.

They all provide a connection between the past, present, andfuture. Big History with its vast and extremely heterogeneous field of research encompasses allthe forms of existence and all timescales and brings together constantly updated information fromthe scientific disciplines and the humanities. Global History is transnational or world historywhich examines history from a global perspective, making a wide use of comparative history andof the history of multiple cultures and nations. Global Studies express the view of systemicand epistemological unity of global processes. Thus, one may argue that Global Studies and Globalistics can well be combined with Global History and Big History and such a multidisciplinary approach can open wide horizons for the modern university education as it helps to form a global view of various processes

This yearbook is the fourth in the series with the title Globalistics and Globalization Studies.
The subtitle of the present volume is Global History & Big History. The point is that today our
global world really demands global knowledge. Thus, there are a few actively developing
multidisciplinary approaches and integral disciplines among which one can name Global Studies,
Global History and Big History. They all provide a connection between the past, present, and
future. Big History with its vast and extremely heterogeneous field of research encompasses all
the forms of existence and all timescales and brings together constantly updated information from
the scientific disciplines and the humanities. Global History is transnational or world history
which examines history from a global perspective, making a wide use of comparative history and
of the history of multiple cultures and nations. Global Studies express the view of systemic
and epistemological unity of global processes. Thus, one may argue that Global Studies and
Globalistics can well be combined with Global History and Big History and such a multidisciplinary
approach can open wide horizons for the modern university education as it helps to
form a global view of various processes
Carbon 12C/13C isotope ratio of alpha Aurigae revised
Context. Capella ({\alpha} Aur) is one of the few binaries in the sky with
two cool giant stars. With spectral types of G8III and G0III, the two
components appear at different but distinct stages in their evolution. The G0
secondary star is a Hertzsprung-gap giant, and the G8 primary star is thought
to be a clump giant. Aims. We present a new measure of the carbon 12 C/ 13 C
isotope ratio of the primary component of Capella using high-resolution R
250 000 spectra obtained with the Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and
Spectroscopic Instrument (PEPSI) with both the Vatican Advanced Technology
Telescope (VATT) and the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Methods.
Signal-to-noise ratios of up to 2 700 were obtained by averaging nightly
spectra. These average spectra were used to disentangle the two binary
components. The isotope ratio was derived with the use of spectrum synthesis
from the CN lines at 8004 {\AA}. Results. We found that the 12 C/ 13 C ratio of
the primary component of Capella is 17.81.9. Our measurement precision is
now primarily limited by the spectral-line data and by the grid-step size of
the model atmospheres rather than the data. The separated spectrum of the
secondary component does not show distinguishable 12 CN and 13 CN lines because
of its v sin i and higher temperature. Conclusions. Our new 12 C/ 13 C value is
significantly lower than the previous value of 274 but now agrees better
with the recent model prediction of 18.8 - 20.7.Comment: accepted to A&A Letters to the Edito
Using raytracing to derive the expected performance of STELLA's SES-VIS spectrograph
The visual STELLA echelle spectrograph (SES-VIS) is a new instrument for the
STELLA-II telescope at the Iza\~na observatory on Tenerife. Together with the
original SES spectrograph - which will still be used in the near IR - and a new
H&K-optimized spectrograph, which is currently in the design phase, it will
extend the capabilities of STELLA with the follow up of planetary candidates
from space missions (TESS, PLATO2). SES-VIS is optimized for precise radial
velocity determinations and long term stability. We have developed a ZEMAX
based software package to create simulated spectra, which are then extracted
using our new data reduction package developed for the PEPSI spectrograph. The
focus in this paper has been put on calibration spectra, and the full range of
available calibration sources (flat field, Th-Ar, and Fabry-Perot etalon),
which can be compared to actual commissioning data once they are available.
Furthermore we tested for the effect of changes of the environmental parameters
to the wavelength calibration precision
High resolution spectroscopy of SN~2023ixf's first week: Engulfing the Asymmetric Circumstellar Material
We present a series of high-resolution echelle spectra of SN~2023ixf in M101,
obtained nightly during the first week or so after discovery using PEPSI on the
LBT. NaID absorption in these spectra indicates a host reddening of
=0.031~mag and a systemic velocity of 7~km~s relative to the
average redshift of M101. Dramatic changes are seen in in the strength and
shape of strong emission lines emitted by CSM, including HeII4686,
CIV5801,5811, H, and NIV7109,7123. In general, these narrow lines
broaden to become intermediate-width lines before disappearing from the
spectrum within a few days, indicating a limited extent to the dense CSM of
around 20-30 AU (or \la10 cm). H persists in the spectrum
for about a week as an intermediate-width emission line with P~Cyg absorption
at 700-1300 km s arising in the post-shock shell of swept-up CSM. Early
narrow emission lines are blueshifted and indicate an expansion speed in the
pre-shock CSM of about 115 km s, but with even broader emission in
higher ionization lines. This is faster than the normal winds of red
supergiants, suggesting some mode of eruptive mass loss from the progenitor or
radiative acceleration of the CSM. A lack of narrow blueshifted absorption
suggests that most of the CSM is not along our line of sight. This and several
other clues indicate that the CSM of SN~2023ixf is significantly aspherical. We
find that CSM lines disappear after a few days because the asymmetric CSM is
engulfed by the SN photosphere.Comment: Accepted verion, 8/1
