Based on results of study of fluid inclusions, we have established the specific fluid regime of formation of the Kalguty Mo-W(Be) deposit (Gorny Altai). Using classical thermobarogeochemistry (cryo- and thermometry) and modern microprobing methods (Raman spectroscopy and LA-ICP-MS), we studied fluid inclusions in samples of quartz of quartz-wolframite veins (ore formation stage I), specific “quartz core” (quartz lens), and pyrite-chalcopyrite-molybdenite paragenesis (ore formation stage II). The results of study show that the quartz-wolframite veins of the Kalguty deposit formed with the participation of reduced W-Sb-bearing fluids with a salt content of up to 5.9 wt.%. Their gas phase consisted of CO2, N2, and CH4. Formation of pyrite-chalcopyrite-molybdenite mineralization involved oxidized hot (530-420 ºC) fluids with the average salt content of 9.3 wt.%. Their gas phase was of high density (up to 0.55) and consisted of CO2, N2, and H2S. The pressure of the mineral-forming environment varied from 50 to 25 MPa. The fluids contained Cu, Mo, Bi, and S. The productive greisen-vein Mo-W(Be) mineralization of the Kalguty deposit resulted from the superposition of greisen molybdenite-chalcopyrite mineralization on parageneses of earlier formed quartz-wolframite veins. Oxidized metal-bearing fluids that formed the Mo mineralization of the Kalguty deposit have high contents of S and are geochemical analogs of magmatic metal-bearing ore-forming fluids of the Central Aldan porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposits, which are genetically related to alkaline massifs. This suggests the significant influence of the mantle source on the formation of the Kalguty rare-metal ore-magmatic system. The same is evidenced from the sulfur isotope composition of chalcopyrite, molybdenite, and pyrite from ore parageneses, falling in the narrow range of δ34S‰ from -1.2 to +2.9 corresponding to the isotope composition of mantle sulfur.

Having applied methods of comprehensive melt inclusion studies, we have elucidated the formation conditions for one of the largest apatite deposits in the Maimecha-Kotui province, located in the exocontact zone of the Magan alkaline ultramafic carbonatite massif, in apoquartzite fenite-aegirinites. We examined the most P-enriched exocontact nepheline-containing aegirinites and ijolite veins in them. In veined ijiolite, primary silicate-salt melt inclusions in nepheline and syngenetic primary silicate, alkali sulfate-carbonate, and carbonate melt inclusions in apatite were found. Primary alkali sulfate-carbonate melt inclusions were also identified in apatite from exocontact nepheline-containing aegirinites. Detailed analysis of the inclusions has shown that nepheline of the apatite-containing ijolite veins crystallized at 1100-1120 ºC from homogeneous nephelinite melt, which was enriched in SO3, Cl, CO2, and H2O and locally contaminated with quartz sandstones and quartzites. At lower temperatures (either at the final stages of nepheline crystallization or at the early stages of apatite formation), the melt was already heterogeneous (probably, because of immiscibility) and consisted of more Si-saturated, alkali sulfate-carbonate, and carbonate fractions. Apatite crystallized mainly from separated alkali sulfate-carbonate melts: at 1080-980 ºC in veined ijolites and at 940-760 ºC in aegirinites. Alkali sulfate-carbonate melts in veined ijolites were enriched in SO3 but depleted in P as compared with those in aegirinites. At the final stage, apatite crystallized from P-poor carbonate melts.

We studied the distribution and modes of occurrence of the main (Au and Ag) and major associated elements indicating mineralization (Hg, Sb, As, Pb, Zn, and Cu) in samples of loose sediments fr om lithochemical sediment streams of Au-Ag zones at the Dukat deposit. The major mineral and nonmineral modes of occurrence of elements indicating Au-Ag mineralization have been detected with POLAM-312 and POLAR-3 ore microscopes and by X-ray electron probe microanalysis with Superprobe 733 and JXA 8200 (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) microprobes. The distribution and modes of occurrence of ore elements in the loose (alluvial) sediments of streams draining the Au-Ag zones are closely related to the ore composition. As in the ores, the main elements indicating mineralization are Au and Ag, while the major associated elements are Hg, Sb, As, Cu, Pb, and Zn. Gold in alluvial sediments occurs as electrum, fine (dispersed, ultradispersed, and colloid-dispersed) particles, and the so-called “bound” (predominantly with sulfides) invisible Au (sorption component and its derivates). Silver occurs not only as hypergene forms, microinclusions, and ultrasized particles but also in native form and as partly preserved sulfides and sulfosalts. The other elements (Hg, Sb, As, Pb, Zn, and Cu) are observed as secondary minerals of complex composition and differently preserved corroded fragments of pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite grains, dominated by oxides and hydroxides (mainly those of iron). Salts and water-soluble sulfates of Fe, Cu, Pb, and Zn are less widespread. In study of the conditions of sediment stream formation in cryolithogenesis zones, wh ere physical weathering is regarded as the major process, chemical factors (first of all, chemisorption) should also be taken into account. This is proven by the enrichment of “fine” loose material in Au, Ag, and ore elements in general. The high percentage of mobile forms of elements, which are easily leached out by ordinary acids, in ores and aureoles, together with the widespread occurrence of clay minerals and hydroxides, has a significant influence on chemisorption. For example, the portion of fine and “bound” Au, the element considered to be the least prone to chemical weathering, reaches 50-60% in the riverbed sediments of the stream head. Native Au (electrum) makes up 40-50%. The material is diluted during its transport. As Au content decreases, the portion of fine and “bound” Au in the sediment stream increases to 95%. Evidently, these two Au forms are predominant in streams as compared with ores. The modes of occurrence of elements indicating Au-Ag mineralization in secondary environments, as in primary ones, serve as an effective criterion for assessment of the potential of geochemical anomalies detected in sediment streams. They are a reliable indicator of ore associations, which is of practical significance. We think that modes of occurrence can sometimes be used to estimate the erosion level of drained zones and sites (i.e., to predict mineralization to depth). This criterion can be successfully applied at all stages of geochemical study of ore-bearing areas, from the prediction of the potential of anomalies detected in sediment streams in poorly studied areas to the detailed exploration of known ore objects.

Clinopyroxene binary solid solutions in the systems diopside-hedenbergite, diopside-aegirine, and hedenbergite-aegirine have been synthesized. Based on data from X-ray diffraction studies, the unit-cell parameters of these solid solutions have been refined, and their concentration dependences have been established. These clinopyroxene series are near-ideal continuous solid solutions. The partition of Mg and Fe between the diopside-hedenbergite binary solid solutions and biotite of the phlogopite-annite series was studied by the method of cation exchange equilibria at 650 and 750 ºC and 2 kbar. The application of KF solution as a reaction medium permitted achieving equilibrium in a considerably shorter time and from its both sides. The partition of Mg and Fe is near-ideal within the experimental error. The experimental results were compared with results of calculations based on literature data on the thermodynamic properties of pure end-members.

A study of triobite distribution allowed a biostratigraphic subdivision of the Kuonamka Formation section exposed in the middle reaches of the Olenek River (18 km downstream of the village of Olenek). Through detailed description of the section, a biostratigraphic subdivision down to the level of biozones and faunal beds was performed. These are beds with Calodiscus-Triangulaspis annio , Delgadella ultima-Bergeroniellus expansus Zone, Lermontovia dzevanovskii-Neopagetina orbiculata Zone, Anabaraspis Zone, Cheiruroides arcticus-Pagetia horrida Zone, Kounamkites Zone, Triplagnostus gibbus Zone, and beds with Tomagnostus fissus-Paradoxides sacheri . These biostratigraphic subdivisions were correlated with regional zones of the Siberian Platform. The study also provides analysis of trilobite assemblages from the Lower/Middle Cambrian boundary interval, which was identified in the studied section and other previously described sections (Nekekit, Molodo, Boroulakh Rivers). In the studied section, the base of the Middle Cambrian is defined by the FAD of Cheiruroides arcticus , i.e., at the base of the Cheiruroides arcticus-Pagetia horrida Zone. This level correlates with a presumed lower boundary of Stage 5 of a new International Stratigraphic Chart for the Cambrian System.

The study presents a summary of the latest data on ostracod microfaunas from Middle-Upper Holocene lacustrine deposits of southern West Siberia collected from lakes Malye Chany, Bol’shaya Lozhka, Beloe, and paleolake Chicha. A total of 28 ostracod species were identified. The identified ostracod assemblages reveal local variations in the lake ecosystems as well as general trends, which can be correlated with both regional and global climate changes. A cooling episode during the second half of the Subboreal is marked by the transition from a warm-water mesohaline assemblage to cold-water candonid ostracods at ca. 3.4 cal ka BP. The widespread occurrence of mesopolythermophilic ostracod species at 1.9-0.6 cal ka BP indicates the end of cooling and lowering of lake-water level. From 0.6 cal ka BP to present, the ostracod assemblages area characterized by the high specific diversity, which is probably an indication of the increased variability of aquatic ecosystems due to fluctuations in salinity and water levels of the lakes. Climate changes identified by ostracod assemblages are consistent with the climatic trend constrained by early palynological studies.

Dating of marine sediments and faunal remains they contain in stratotype and reference sections by the methods of infrared optically stimulated luminescence (IR-OSL) of K-feldspar, optically stimulated afterglow (OSA) of quartz, electron spin resonance (ESR), and ²³⁰Th/U provides new constraints on deposition in the Yenisei mouth during the Kazantsevo interglacial. The luminescence and U-Th ages in the 120-68 ka range and 93-70 ka ESR ages show that the deposition spanned the whole marine isotope stage (MIS) 5. The sediment structures and textures, grain sizes and mineralogy, and faunal records indicate tidal and shelf deposition environments. The sampled assemblages of marine mollusks comprise taxa that typically live in relatively shallow and warm water, as well as abundant subarctic and boreal species, including the Arctica islandica index species. The variations of faunal patterns, more likely, had facies rather than climatic controls, while the sediments were deposited during transgression, in a warm climate, when the area was ice-free.

We performed a chromato-mass-spectrometric study of the distribution of hopane hydrocarbons in the organic matter of Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous mudstones from wells drilled in the western Yenisei-Khatanga regional trough. A series of 25-norhopanes has been first identified; these hydrocarbons, often found in naphthides, are commonly related to biodegradation processes. We consider other hypotheses of formation of 25-norhopanes. Based on the examined distribution of rare rearranged hopanes, new biomarker parameters have been introduced, which ensure a more reliable estimation of the conditions of accumulation of organic matter in rocks and of its thermal maturity.

The contents and distribution of chalcophile elements in the Upper Jurassic-lower Lower Cretaceous Bazhenov Formation (black shales), West Siberian sea basin, are related to the composition of rocks, sedimentation rate, and redox conditions of sedimentation. The total content of chalcophile elements in the argillaceous-siliceous and argillaceous mudstones of normal sections (1360.7 and 498.4 ppm, respectively) is higher than the clarkes for black shales of this type, while that in the silty argillaceous mudstones of anomalous sections (186.7 ppm) corresponds to average contents for clays. On the other hand, the contents of Zn, Cu, As, Se, Cd, and In in the argillaceous-siliceous mudstones are above the clarkes, those of Pb, Ga, Ag, Hg, and Te are close to the clarkes, and the contents of Tl, Ge, Bi, and Sn are below the clarkes. In the argillaceous mudstones of normal sections, the first group of elements includes Zn, As, and Ga; the second, Cu, Pb, Sb, Tl, Ge, and Bi; and the third, Se, Ag, In, Sn, Hg, and Te. In the silty argillaceous mudstones of anomalous sections, the first group includes Ga, Ag, Ge, Bi, and Te(?); the second, Cu, As, Cd, Pb, and In; and the third, Zn, Se, Sb, and Hg. We have found that S, Cu, Zn, As, Ge, Se, Ag, Cd, In, Sb, and Hg are associated with pyrite and organic matter in the formation, whereas Ga, Sn, Pb, Bi, and Tl are mainly of terrigenous origin (which was earlier substantiated by Ya.E. Yudovich and M.P. Ketris for the first four elements) and are associated with clay material.

Combined geophysical and geochemical investigations of drainage streams from sulfide-containing waste dumps of the Novo-Urskoe deposit allow determining two directions of highly mineralized toxic solutions. Surface drainage stream flows over the natural slope of the valley. In addition, along the natural fault, vertical penetration of drainage solutions into groundwater occurs to a depth of 20 m. Based on geophysical-data interpretation, we assume that penetration of solutions into geologic environment leads to their dilution by groundwater, followed by a six-fold decrease in total mineralization.

The study updates the theory of tides by specifying latitude dependence of the gravimetric factor (amplitude factor δ) for diurnal and semidiurnal tidal waves in the oceanless elastic Earth. The strain of an elastic flattened gravitating sphere with latitude-dependent geopotential, density, and Lamй constants is described by a system of sixth-order ordinary differential equations. The elliptical sphere is presented as consisting of layers, with density and elasticity varying as a function of latitude along the sphere surface as mean radiuses of equidensity and equielasticity ellipsoids that cross this surface. Dissipation is taken into account as a logarithmic creep function. Integration of the derived equations allows avoiding the use of approximate methods. The predicted factors for degree 2 tides depend on latitude and increase from the equator to the pole by 0.12 to 0.18% for different reference Earth models. The obtained latitude dependences are compared with superconducting gravimeter (SG) data after including effects associated with the inertial and Coriolis forces, as well as dynamic resonance. The theoretical predictions and the observations show good fit, to hundredths of percent. The average δ factors predicted in this study for the PREM model are intermediate between those computed with the hydrostatic and nonhydrostatic tidal gravity models of Dehant, Defraigne, and Wahr (DDW/H and DDW/NH), while the estimates obtained with reference to the IASP91 model coincide with the DDW/NH results to the fifth decimal digit.

A simple positioner, which allows one to ensure the position of a focused light beam on an object with nanometer precision and reproducibility, is proposed and studied. It can be used for positioning of focused beams (in particular, laser beams) on surfaces of optical fibers, biological objects, optical disks, thin film modulators, and holographic memory systems in the micrometer and nanometer ranges.

A simple method is proposed to determine the quality of antirelaxation coatings of the walls of vacuum optical cells containing alkali metal vapors. The method involves recording the time dependence of the fluorescence intensity of alkali atoms during exposure of the cell by resonant radiation pulses. Theory predicts that to determine the coating quality, it is sufficient to know the fluorescence decay rate and the ratio of the fluorescence intensities at the beginning and end of the pulse laser.

This paper considers a thin plane nanosystem consisting of molecular chains of dye J-aggregates forming bundles elongated in one direction and spherical gold nanoparticles located near them. Expressions are derived for the polarization of the exciton transition in the external field under the mutual influence of the dipole fields of the monomers constituting the dye J-aggregates and for the induced dipole of the nanoparticle. It is shown that in this system, mirrorless optical bistability of the fluorescence spectral density of the dye J-aggregates is possible, depending on the pump field intensity. The parameters of this dependence are critically determined by the distance between the molecular bundles and nanoparticles and by the angle between the field polarization direction and the axis of the bundle of J-aggregates. The use of the nanosystem as a sensor is discussed.

A new approach to constructing the thermal element of a multi-element array on the basis of thin pyroelectric films is developed: the element is neither thermally insulated from the substrate nor separated by a gap from the substrate surface; instead, it operates owing to accumulation of the charge generated by infrared radiation during the frame. A new principle of high-speed modulation of radiation is described. Experimental results for the behavior of the pyroelectric coefficient in barium-strontium niobate films (Ba_xSr_1-xNb₂O₆), whose values reach up to (1-2)·10^-3 C/m², are presented. It is demonstrated that the specific detectivity of sensitive elements 12 × 12 μm in size in the charge accumulation mode is greater than 10⁹ cm × Hz^0.5 ×·W^-1.

A method is proposed to shape the edges of chips in order to reduce the gap between chips in infrared-sensitive mosaic photodetectors modules. The method involves laser scribing of asymmetric grooves, splitting-off of the edge of the chip surface going under the chip, and the subsequent vertical alignment of the edges using laser radiation. The width of the gap between chips is 1-3 μm.

This paper describes the structure, operation algorithm, and circuitry of the recording channel of a multi-channel coordinate X-ray detector with a microsecond time resolution for studying the dynamics of density distribution in objects under pulsed loading. A method for fast automatic real-time control of the channel sensitivity is proposed.

The article discusses an important function, performed by mythological creativity in the modern world, - communication between different spheres of differentiated knowledge. The philosophical reconstruction of historical relation between philosophy and religion through the epoch’s mode of thought and the mythological constructions is given on the basis of research on history and philosophy of science, made in the twentieth century.

There is a belief that Kolmogorov's condition about the closeness of event probability with frequency characteristics of an event is a conclusion of Bernoulli’s theorem and that if Cournot’s principle is taken into account, the conclusion is true on any typical sampling. The article shows that this assertion is correct within the subjectivistic interpretation of the probability theory. The author proves that in the objectivistic interpretation the closeness of probability and frequencies is understood as the stability of frequencies, i.e. their grouping in a narrow field. He demonstrates that in this interpretation the frequencies stability is a precondition of an application of Bernoulli’s theorem and it depends neither on the theorem nor on the principle.

In the course of the transformation of a scientific theory, there are changes that require unification and standardization of concepts, methods and procedures. Usually, the unification is nesessary at the stage of a paradigm formation when one of the competing schools begins to dominate while the other ones have to conform to it. During the unification, the theory undergoes changing, systematization and axiomatization, the diversity of statements is reduced to basic postulates. A unified theory gets a number of advantages including its increased flexibility and expanded area of its application also there are some disadvantages, one of them is the growth of a theory vulnerability because criticism aimed at the foundation of a theory weaken its state. We the last statement illustrate by an example taken from the history of mathematics. Disadvantages of the unification appear in science applications to practice as well, we illustrate it by examples too.

The paper presents a review of existing types of basic objects in physical theories, such as a material point, an elementary particle (virtual particle), quark, a fundamental string. Fundamental objects are considered in the historical perspective. It is shown that these objects, first, may be classified as formal, physical and hypothetical; secondly, they have a different ontological status. In view of this, a unified (consistent) description of reality is based on introduction of modalities into ontology which results in a model of polyontic reality (the idea of information capacity of mathematical spaces and that of a nongeocentric world comprise a concrete realization of this model).

It can be argued that if we commit ourselves to classical realism and classical logic we are forced to adopt an Everettian interpretation of quantum mechanics. But we cannot adopt it without substantial philosophical and physical qualifications. Nevetheles the classical metaphysical realism can be modified. We suggest an interpretation of quantum mechanics within a Wittgensteinian contextualiste non-metaphysical realism, which is indeed a demystified version of the Everett interpretation. The quantum theory is a Wittgensteinian rule. The “gap” between this rule and a concrete result of measurement is closed pragmatically (the measurement problem is dissolved). The Everettian branches-worlds are possible (not actual) applications of the theory-rule. The suggested deduction of the Born rule from the deterministic part of quantum mechanics, the most general principles of rationality and the symmetry principles, in our view, means that in a sense the Born rule is implicit in the formalism of quantum mechanics taken in its application. A complicated theory of the Everettian interpretation of quantum mechanics, developed by David Wallace, is the price to pay for refusing to modify the doctrine of metaphysical realism.

The paper analyses specific aspects of geological research. It is possible to connect them with using hermeneutical and historical procedures that extends and adds classical ideas about natural-scientific cognition. The theoretical basis of the paper is the research work of American scientist R. Frodeman. Geological cognition in a field investigation is a similar to text interpretation. There is no any prefabricated geological outcrop in a laboratory. Geologist has to choose substantial object for research by himself basing on knowledge. Geological outcrop is clearer in a general geological environment of region, area. In other words, the scientist is consistent with surrounding context. This approach leads to affirmation that geologist has two or more has several types of interpretation. Therefore, every geologist can make different conclusions. It is significant to admit that experiment cannot find any solution about genesis of geological solids. Because geological solids has being forming during millions years in a generous area. Chemical and physical experiments are just an element of interpretation or “reading” of the geological conditions in an area, which defines the properties of minerals, rock. On the assumption of this theory, the geology is a science, which has an object of investigation as the natural world, and at the same time uses methods of humanitarian knowledge including hermeneutic and historical procedures.

The article opens a series of studies dedicated to ancient meteorology. I discuss the method and content of Pseudo-Theophrastus’ “On weather signs” and translate a short treatise “On the location and names of the winds”, traditionally included in the Corpus Aristotelicum. The treatise is translated into the Russian for the first time. We see that the unknown author tries to correlate the theoretical wind diagram with the empirical data, and the picture, which appears as a result, significantly differs from the theoretical scheme developed in Aristotle’s Meteorology. On the other hand, his approach is more practical since he tries to take account of the local condition. After all, even Aristotle admits that his simple scheme is not exact and allows adjustment to specific geographic places.

The paper discusses if it is possible to justify the assumption of the existence of other minds in terms of common sense as G.E. Moore understands it in his article «A Defence of Common Sense».

This article suggests a new scientometric index that takes into account not taken into account in the calculation of citation of the classical h-index - Hirsch index+ developed the formula for finding the index by table to find the h-index from 1 to 20. The h-index+ can be used for internal monitoring of scientific productivity of a scientist in any scientific or higher educational institution. The proposed index allows you to more finely rank the growth of the team members, regardless of age and past scientific achievements.

The relevance of the article is due to a wide range of problems, which are at the heart of the social transformation brought about by globalization and the domination of information technologies, because traditional education in its version of «Western civilization», corresponding to a model of unsustainable development, is one of the most inertial-conservative systems. In recent decades, education in its global dimension no longer satisfies the needs of social life as it continues to transmit the knowledge of the industrial-consumer society, bringing closer an anthropo-ecological global catastrophe. The author focuses attention on the fact that presently the content, goals and objectives of world education is increasingly lagging behind the global trends in the information society. However, the unity of mankind can be reduced to the leading constants of human existence and can be regarded as an unchangeable state, outside history. Today, into place of the states of uniform majority there come multicultural states, i.e. the states of various minorities (social, cultural, ethnic, religious and other), which protect the historical traditions and preserve the ethnic-cultural pluralism. It is important to emphasize that the educational system cannot and should not be a value-neutral: if it does not form constructive value-semantic and socio-cultural mindsets, the vacuum is filled by spontaneously arising, often destructive life orientations. This fact cannot be ignored, because it is exactly on the powerful historical basis that the education of the East has always been founded. In this regard, strengthening the social-humanitarian component of the educational system is one of the ways of preserving by the society its humanitarian potential and ensuring decent future. It is exactly the Eurasian vector of development of education that includes the domestic standards not only in the social-philosophical understanding.

A general philosophical analysis of the situation created at the beginning of the XXI century leads to the conclusion that at present the planet is experiencing a catastrophic antropo-social-ecoplanetary crisis. According to the authors, to resolve the created situation, it is necessary to recognize that the task of the human being and humanity, preserving the harmony of the soul is the formation of a bio-friendly culture, protecting and creating rather than destroying the life of natural landscapes. Adoption a bio-friendly spiritual paradigm presupposes another kind of upbringing, education and value orientation of people.Only the full-value upbringing-education with the formation of a holistic, practical, predictive consciousness and conscious practical creative activity in balance with nature is able to create the necessary foundation for solving the most complex anthropo-social-natural problems. Education is the foundation of culture, a unique over-biological system of transferring social experience, a mechanism of social continuity, by which it is possible to realize the essential human forces. The modern technogenic-informational civilization has developed into a global civilization of lies and global parasitism; the main cause of the antropo-social-ecoplanetary crisis is the global catastrophic anthropic crisis. The main deformations have occurred in the person him/herself, who has turned into an anthropo-system of accumulating type; we should not forget that the humanity, mainly represented by the egocentric anthropo-systems (of the accumulation type), is transforming into a planetary parasite, consisting of a collection of anthropo-microbes destroying the surface of the living cosmic organism of the Earth-Gaia. As a result, the cosmic macro-organism, sick from anthropo-parasites, is able to produce such a defensive reaction that will destroy the parasites and sanitize the Earth-Gaia; the key goal is the restoration of a harmonious whole human being as a transforming anthropo-system. There is a vital need in the human being who has reason, spirituality and morality, who is balanced, creative as a being able to enter into a state of symbiosis with the maternal nature of the planet; the main way to restore the whole person and normal anthropo-social and socio-natural life is a ban on the destruction of education in the form and content, on the zombieing of population; restoring Russian upbringing-education on the principles of creation of an integral person and the god-and-man; restoration of the Russian Institute of Philosophy of the Human Being. The authors have determined that it is exactly as a result of the deformation of humanity that the local problems have been transformed into the global ones. The antropo-social-ecoplanetary catastrophe provoked by the deformed human being is moving around the planet and can be stopped only by the human being him/herself by means of his/her qualitative transformation, with the restoration of the intellectual moral-spiritual potential and a creative harmonizing force in the world.

The article examines the problems associated with the peculiarities of formation of regional stability in the socio-economic terms. The author carries out a social-philosophical analysis of the specificities of development of a stability system in the region. This is of particular importance in the context of globalization, which is transforming the regional economy in many ways. The paper shows that regional stability has its own specifics in Russia and may become a viable alternative to the negative trends in the globalization tendencies of our time. The author emphasizes that regionalism is not a chaotic self-determination of societies, their own laws work there. Unfortunately, the current situation in the society contributes to the emergence of a crowd rather than the creative development of the personality. Our consumer civilization generates a threat of total depersonalization and dehumanization of the human being. According to the author, the concept of regionalization acquires a special scientific clarity and richness of the concept of regionalization acquires in the works of those scholars who connect real globalization processes with the information stage of modern scientific and technological revolution and its real influence on the development of the world economy. In this regard, the current stage of regionalization may be called transnationalization (by analogy with internationalization), but which is building over it, a new and higher sphere of the human historical existence. The author concludes that the real prospects for the sustained global-regional world order are associated with the dialectical approach to contemporary international processes. The stability of regions is provided by the impossibility of reducing the diverse social life to a common socio-cultural type, conditioned by own methods of production and reproduction of social life. The crisis of ideology of globalism is a predictable phenomenon, since it is based on the neglect of history, mentality and traditions of a great part of humanity, because its policy is based on the consumer principle of development.

The relevance of studying the social-philosophical features of the of information control of the global world of information management is due to the formation of fundamentally new, essential, necessary and sufficient characteristics of social evolution, which are fundamentally different from the ones existing earlier and recognized as universal. The author shows that an important factor, shaping the modern management system, is the computer orientation of the society’s information culture, that informatization of the society will be a dominant component of the development of civilization at the stage of building the global information society. The problem of the modern world order is that global power is not limited by any form of state, including the power over the states themselves. Globalism acts as the opposition of the minority of people which has reached the highest mobility to the inert majority. The problem of management of the international community which is becoming more and more chaotic is aggravated by the fact that in modern conditions the nation-state has ceased to be the only subject of international relations. The socio-informational component is firstly reflected in the variety of direct and inverse system connections in the process of integrated civilized development of the community; secondly, in the circulation of the systemic information flows, and most importantly, in the organization and management of the assimilation of the dosages of needed information to achieve the development of the individual, family, work collective, community in time, space and at different levels of the state and social system.

The relevance of this article is due to the fact that today the technological development of the leading educational institutions in the world has reached the level where the further development of the information base does not bring a new quality. This poses a fundamentally new set of problems not only to the philosophy of education, but also to the entire social philosophy. The goal of this article is to analyze the information policy in education in the conditions of formation of a new global world order, with the emphasis on the specific features of e-learning. Education community and the community of students are not converged into one another so that we can claim that they together form some integrity. The reasons for this, according to the authors, is that the information policy in any educational system is connected both with the technical capabilities of the educational institution and with the world-view potential of teachers. One of the most difficult problems of formation of information policy in the educational system is the pedagogical conservatism, which postulates the traditional teaching methods, and this provokes inertness of transition to an informational education based on innovations, usage of new information technologies, modern achievements of the economy, science and pedagogical thought. Modern information policy in the field of education is conditioned, on one hand, by the need for integration into the global educational space by means of modern information technologies, on the other, on the importance of preserving the social and cultural identity.

The article focuses on the security of educational space in modern geopolitical conditions. The article considers the influence of the macro-social processes on the victimization-related changes in modern society. The purpose of the article is to analyze the interaction between geopolitics and global studies, as well as their impact on the education system in Russia. The article presents an analysis of the main changes associated with the transformation of modern society, reveals the victimization-related impact of globalization on modern education, the specificity of expansion of foreign norms and values exhibited by the hegemon and their impact on the modernization of education taking place in Russia. Qualitative changes in the Russian education system, leading to the need to modernize the system, are indicated. The risks and threats associated with geopolitical processes that lead to a breach of security of the educational environment and its victimization are identified. Specific characteristics and needs of modern society, determining the model of development of Russian education with taking into account security issues are indicated. The basic regularities of the geopolitical influence and its consequences on the basis of the specifics and location of a state, as well as the basic trends in the field of education are revealed. The effects of collision between two global macro processes which victimize the social environments are described. Some basic statements are formulated, based on which it is possible to describe the current state of the processes of the educational space victimization and to find ways to reduce victimization. We consider the effects of macro-social processes, including changes in the functioning of the higher mental functions of the human being, his/her mental characteristics and communications structure. Attention is paid to the phenomenon of intellectual passivity, which lies in the foundation of the structural changes related to victimization.

The article examines the difference in the degree of ethnic and Russian identity of the young people choosing professions in the field of culture and industry. We determine the influence of some factors - family, gender, traditions, interethnic mindsets - on the formation of ethnic (Russian) identity of the future masters of Russian culture: schoolchildren, students of secondary special and higher educational institutions of Novosibirsk, which are intending to work in the field of culture and art. In particular, we note that among Russian youth the ethnic nihilism is most clearly manifested among those choosing professions in the field of art and culture, whereas it is least manifested among the youth choosing the professions of industrial sphere. Meanwhile, if we proceed from the concept of culture as the soul of the people, then in the conditions of multinational Russia involved in the process of globalization, the trend of decreasing the ethnic self-consciousness of the Russians, and especially of the culture professionals who are called to form and develop the Russian identity, is highly undesirable in the aspect of national security. The expediency is justified of realization of the interdisciplinary research project «the Concept of ethno-national educational and cultural policy in Russia in the conditions of globalization», an important part of which is the issue of Russian culture and Russian education.

The modern world has become multiethnic and multicultural due to several reasons: the globaliza-tion processes, intensive migration flows, mixture of languages, cultures, interethnic marriages, informa-tional opportunities and mass-media - all these markers of the present day have led to the fact that there are practically no states with a uniform ethnic composition and cultural code. Nevertheless, modern re-searchers discuss a certain renaissance of ethnicity during the last decades of the past and present centu-ries. These differently directed tendencies are revealed, on one side, in the desire and intention of individual ethnical groups and their representatives to reproduce ethnical and cultural peculiarities, traditions, and, on the other side, the interethnic disagreements, clashes and the appearance of extremist movements are based on the same appeals. In the present article, an analysis is carried out of the named tendencies and also the role of educa-tion is substantiated in leveling the negative processes during interaction between representatives of dif-ferent ethnical groups and cultures. In reality, the multicultural education faces the problem of formation of the person, capable of active and effective life activity in the polyethnic, polycultural society, the person having a feeling of understanding and respect toward other cultures, a skill of living in peace and harmony with the people of different nationalities, races and faiths. It is concluded that education can adequately respond to these chal-lenges. To achieve it, we need to actively participate in the processes of modern generation’s adaptation to multiethnic surrounding; to build positive attitude towards cultural differences and the ability to integrate; to foster upbringing in a way of tolerance, equal interethnic communication; to promote awareness of positive values of ethnic and national culture; to foster conscious attitude and positive acceptance of one’s own history and respect towards history and culture of other ethnicities; to form of one’s own positive ethnical identity.

The relevance of the article is conditioned by the fact that the modern infor-mation technologies have fundamentally changed the relationship between the sub-jects of the educational process, due to the expansion of educational space, whereas the digital divide creates a tension in the society, which is especially evident at the level of the educational system. Presently, the Western variant of social development is being imposed around the world as an exemplar, where the quality of the education received is determined, first of all, by the developed skills and abilities for solving applied problems. On this road the domestic education system faces the new challenges and dangers. The fact is that new value-related social realities pose new requirements to the upbringing of the specialist: new personality traits are needed for success. The guarantees of social security of the individual in the modern education system are based on the level of social relations. The author shows that the problem of social security of the individual in the modern education system is also due to separation from the local contexts of social practices, which naturally leads to gradual alienation of other social practices too from their historical roots. The study of the problem of social security of the individual in modern educa-tion allows concluding that the person trying to engage in social creativity outside of spiritual and cultural development, solely within the framework of social engineering is doomed to reproduction or destruction. Beyond the spiritual culture the person cannot become a true subject and an actual participant of social creativity. Outside of spiritual culture, he/she will always remain only an object for manipulation, doomed to increasing social alienation and, ultimately, degradation and death.

The article describes the features of implementation of the politics of memory in the system of the domestic education in different historical periods in the life of Russian society. The education system is presented as an important subject of the politics of memory, the role of which is amplified in the periods of spiritual crisis and the loss of national-cultural identity. The historical features are revealed of the politics of memory in the formation of the monarchical, Soviet and modern Russia. The modern objectives of education related to the formation of a new politics of memory are defined. In the conditions of formation of a new politics of memory and the clashes of traditions and innovations in this process, the education values can be a factor of their harmonization and further co-development. The traditional values and the new ones, resulted from socio-cultural changes, find common grounds in education being directed by the idea of perfection of the human being and society. The presence of a unifying idea distinguishes education from the ideological ambiguity that characterizes modern politics. Thus, the role of education seems important in the modern politics of memory. The modern politics of memory must proceed from the understanding of education as a sphere, embodying the socio-cultural unity and asserting the idea of historical and cultural unity of the Russian people by the entire strength of pedagogical influence. Philosophy of education, the entire complex of sciences about education acquire the status of a theoretical foundation of the modern politics of memory. Their role in the selection of historical-cultural information, in the development of value priorities, models and forms of collective remembrance must be regarded as an organic part of solving the problem of recreation a nationally oriented politics of memory, reflecting the interests of contemporary Russian society.

In the article, the author considers the personality of Lenin and the influence of his activity on the humanity from the standpoint of pedagogy. The author comes to a conclusion that Lenin for domestic education is an experience which was historically lived and was dearly-bought by humanity, a special world of the set goals and the ways to achieve them, which allows to see how difficult and sometimes tragic it is to solve the problems put forward by life and how great is the responsibility of everyone who takes on responsibility to lead people.

The article is devoted to the ontological level of the phenomenon of "education" that generates the development prospects and a cultural core of the society life. As a prerequisite for the research, M. Heidegger’s propositions have been taken regarding the ontological grounds of modern education and the association of its understanding with the Greek thought. Based on the analysis of the ancient episteme of activity (i.e., the system of ideas about forms and ways of knowledge usage), the principles are explicated, which define the ontological horizon of modern education development. The area of multi-sector system of education is shown, which is becoming today a recipient and bearer of these principles. The methodological basis of the conducted research is the hermeneutic study of primary sources of antiquity: the writings by Xenophon, Plato, and Aristotle, the results of which are projected onto the modern educational situation. The principles of the antique tέχνη (techne, Latin) are used as ontological components of this projection: correlation of knowledge with the world of real objects, combination of theoretical understanding of arts with practice, value mediation of activities through the attitude to truth, creativity of activities. Based on the analysis of the antique techne concept, the opportunities are revealed of the advanced understanding of the teaching and cognition technologization. The prospects of the development of a paradigmatically-differentiated system of modern education as a location of the cognitive-cultural diversity generation are considered. The characteristic of the activity episteme of a research education locus is given, the initial ideas of which were articulated in the writings of I. Kant, W. Humboldt, K. Jaspers. It is shown that in research education, the academic technologism becomes a meta-notion, which relies on: a) a complex instrumental-temporal structure of interrelated cognitive methods and techniques of teaching based on academic operationalization of research; b) a complex of open science-cognitive problems developed at different stages of learning; c) specific configurations of creative and discursive sides of an educational cognitive action, dynamics of socio-cognitive growth and problem-cognitive personality trajectories; d) an educational infrastructure and collectives «producing» knowledge. Here the academic technologism becomes scientific-innovational. With this, the episteme of research education is characterized through the principles of ancient techne, as follows: 1) research education transfers disciplinary knowledge into the world of real objects, which imposes on them the condition of authenticity, which means that cognition takes the road of truth; 2) technologization of acquired knowledge occurs, i.e. the knowledge becomes able to be implemented as an activity in specialized contexts and to impart the sociocultural objectifying sense to educational practices, and in addition, the empirical activity acquires its theory; 3) cognition gets its justification in the value dimension, both as a productive activity producing «things» useful for the world and as an internal, creative personality growth; 4) education turns into creativity in the sense of generating new knowledge and its integrating into reality, i.e. it becomes an act of innovation for a cognizing subject.

The author of the article shows that the economy of the global world requires a special methodology for its study, which should take into account the interests not only of the elite, the so-called civilized countries, but also the specificities of the regional world, the prevailing socio-economic traditions, mentality, and so on. The article analyzes the situation that has arisen in modern economics education. The author shows that many of the problems of the educational sphere are determined by the general uncertainty that exists in the economy of not only Russia but also of the entire world. At the heart of this policy, which is aimed at destatization (education is positioned as a private affair of the student), there are the liberal concepts of «free market». The educational reform has the anti-state character and sets the tone of anti-social economics education. The idea, on which all the educational changes of the last three decades are based, presupposes the positioning of the state, society and the individual as self-sufficient antipodes. When designing a new system of economics education, it is also important to take into consideration that the former opposition between state and market in the developed countries no longer makes sense: both the state and the market occupy a certain place in the socio-economic system, perform their unique functions and exist in inseparable unity. The author substantiates a social need for development of a new economics education due to intensification of the globalization processes in the modern world, which involve the Russian Federation too. However, the Russian scientists have to take into account as much as possible the domestic experience of economic management, as well as to revive the unique theoretical works of Russian thinkers.

A defining subsystem of the society is its economic sphere, which creates the material-financial conditions for the functioning of education. Here there are also formed the main risks arising from the state of economy. The specific sources of risk are sharp polarization of the population, differences between regions in terms of economic development, underfunding of education, exchange rate fluctuations, uncontrolled inflation, a sharp change in the rate of technological development, instability in the level of supply and demand in the labor market, and others. In the article, there are considered from the standpoint of social philosophy (in the aspect of security issues of domestic education) the economic factors, the direction of influence of the economy on the state of education and the causes of economic risks. The present state of the Russian economy is analyzed, as well as its development trends in terms of the main performance parameters, including the implementation of social programs. The article also highlights the main internal and external risks in education due to the state of economy, and the ways are justified of their neutralization by means of educational policy of the state and the possibilities of educational institutions.
