Full textAbstract:
<em>This research proposes an innovative cosmic theory of invisible object assuming various successive Skies and time domain by using simple trigonometric formula. The angle between object (Stars, Universes, etc. in the successive Skies except first Sky) and observer (human/ Earth/Sun/Galaxy/Universe in the first Sky) is calculated by using this formula. The zero angle proves the object invisibility. It also proves that universes under first Sky are very infinitesimal compared to the successive Skies. The proposed theory is developed based on the imaginary judgement by considering three postulates and one hypothesis. There is no mathematical model and complex formulae of classical cosmology used in this research. This research addresses some imaginary issues such as successive Skies, variable speed of light, different time domain. These idealized issues were not addressed in the classical physics/astronomy/cosmology, previously. So, there is a scope for enhancing this research in future by developing mathematical model, deriving formulations for successive Skies to apply appropriate boundary conditions, etc.</em>

▪ Abstract High-energy (>100 MeV) neutrino astrophysics enters an era of opportunity and discovery as the sensitivity of detectors approaches astrophysically relevant flux levels. We review the major challenges for this emerging field, among which the nature of dark matter, the origin of cosmic rays, and the physics of extreme objects such as active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, pulsars, and supernova remnants are of prime importance. Variable sources at cosmological distances allow the probing of neutrino propagation properties over baselines up to about 20 orders of magnitude larger than those probed by terrestrial long-baseline experiments. We review the possible astrophysical sources of high-energy neutrinos, which also act as an irreducible background to searches for phenomena at the electroweak and grand-unified-theory symmetry-breaking scales related to possible supersymmetric dark matter and topological defects. Neutrino astronomy also has the potential to discover previously unimagined high-energy sources invisible in other channels and provides the only means for direct observations of the early universe prior to the era of decoupling of photons and matter. We conclude with a discussion of experimental approaches and a short report on present projects and prospects. We look forward to the day when it will be possible to see the universe through a new window in the light of what may be its most numerous particle, the elusive neutrino.

Are there long-term processes invisible over short spans? And if so, how might they relate to the loci of long-term social change, those performative or practical moments wherein agents enact, embody, or otherwise engage traditions, landscapes, or structures? Here, we are particularly concerned with the experience of starry skies as these were historically reckoned through cluttered object fields and cosmic events. These are key to understanding the emergent properties of ethnoastronomies and cultural landscapes that, in certain moments, may be described as leading to historical conjunctures.

 The invisible Planck vacuum (PV) state is a degenerate collection of Planck particle (PP) cores that fills a sevendimensional spacetime. The degenerate nature of this PV state assures that the only motion available to the separate PP cores is a spin angular momentum and a local random PP motion. This spherical confinement of each PP core in the vacuum state leads to the cosmic-microwave-background-radiation (CMBR) spectrum seen in the free-space night sky.The CMBR is the experimental proof for the PV theory.

Full textAbstract:
Why do Alice McDermott's narrators not acknowledge a statutory rape and a murder? Why does she make it hard for readers to detect who her narrators are? She compels us to work with her to construct her stories and makes the task unusually hard for the first-time reader. Laszlo F. Földényi's collection of essays, Dostoyevski Reads Hegel in Siberia and Bursts into Tears (2020), helps us to understand the philosophical basis for McDermott's narrative strategies in her depictions of Irish America. Her narrators reveal the emptiness occasioned by a false dichotomy between subject and object – a contemporary disease. McDermott restores mystery as the antidote to systems of knowledge. Analysis of her novels, especially Child of My Heart (2002), Someone (2013) and The Ninth Hour (2017), suggests McDermott's cure for the narrators’ quest for control over the stories they tell. Someone is a key novel for understanding what ails our contemporary consciousness.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The use of barcode technology has spread in many fields since it is cheaper and easier to use. To date, the barcode technology is applied by placing a code on a label surface. This makes access easier but also increases security risks. Security breaches can occur either due to physical damage to the code or code hijacking for inappropriate purposes. This paper reports the development of the subsurface barcode coding method by utilizing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) photoacoustic imaging. Referring to the Rosencwig-Gersho theory, photoacoustics can image the subsurface conditions by adjusting the thermal conductivity length. In this experiment, a number of cavities representing barcodes were embedded in a metal object. The experimental results show that this method can decode the 3-digit Flattermarken code embedded in a 1 mm thick metal object again. The success of this new method is expected to open up more opportunities for barcodes that are more secure and resistant to tampering.

Full textAbstract:
The films and live cinema of Vincent Moon are considered in this chapter as ‘psychedelic’: a form of filmmaking and film performances that can open the doors of perception to invisible realms of percepts, affects and durations that are beyond or below ordinary human perception. According to Paul Schrader, films can evoke such spiritual dimensions, in particular through what he called the transcendental style of film, and what Gilles Deleuze termed the time-image. As an audio-visual ethnographer of world religions who is distinctly influenced by shamanic and animistic traditions, Moon brings the transcendental style back to its plane of immanence. His live cinema performances have a ritualistic and ecstatic aspect that recalls the esoteric history of haunted media. Moon's enthralling film performances induce altered states of mind, tap into spiritual realities and immerse the audience in magic.

Full textAbstract:
Invisible, but suggestive and fruitful; deprived of any reference to doctrine or ultimate assertive foundations, but nevertheless used in Benjamin like written images, crystallized as “images of thought”; as doctrinally mute as it is heuristically audible, Benjamin’s use of theology reminds us of the ironical use that Jorge Luis Borges himself made of theology and metaphysics as part of his own poetic forms. As such, these images of thought are located both in the place of philosophical use and in the one of methodological cunning or Metis, across the various levels of the corpus: a metaphysics of experience, literary criticism, philosophy of language, theory of history and Marxism. Therefore, accepting that criticism (Kritik) is the visible organon and the object of Benjaminian philosophy, is not theology, then, its invisible organon? What seems to be particular to Benjamin, however, is the agonistic but nevertheless heuristic way in which he intends to use theology in order to upset, disarray, and deconstruct the established philosophy, and specially its dominant trends in the field of the theory of history: historicism, positivism, and the evolutionary Hegelian–Marxist philosophy of history. In this article we try to demonstrate how this theological perspective is applied to a Benjaminian grammar of time. We conclude agonistically, confronting the resulting Benjaminian notion of historical past against Heiddeger’s own vision of historical time.

Full textAbstract:
Social sciences, caught in binarism and embedded in moral considerations for a short but founding period, stressed sets of dual oppositions in which one party was right and the other wrong. When, for instance, institutions are considered in opposition to individuals, identity and belonging appear either to be enforced or to enforce, but in all events to carry the compulsion to `fit in'. This bias leads to using identification categories to qualify processes of avoiding identification. Alternatively, the authors consider clandestine tactics and strategies as a theory of attitudes, most of which are invisible, aimed at defying the identification process. We argue for an `aggiornamento', not so as to build a meta-theory, but in order to grasp an underestimated aspect of reality: the avoidance of belonging and preset identity as a mere enactment of natural-born liberty.

This essay presents a critical reading of Andrew Joron’s speculative oeuvre from a phenomenological standpoint. Proceeding from the poet’s cosmic perspectives, it focuses on the central issue of language in relation to the emergence of meaning and the world. Through a close reading of both Joron’s poetry and poetics, this essay demonstrates his conceptual affinity with the work of contemporary French philosopher Jean-Luc Marion, arguing that both Joron’s poetry and Marion’s phenomenology of givenness postulate an emergence of meaning and the world that is absolutely unconditioned and unconditional, an emergence characterized by an intuitively blinding richness that saturates the phenomenon over and beyond any limit and, hence, makes the phenomenon invisible.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractA concise and critical review of Balmer-dominated shocks (BDSs) is presented, summarizing the state of theory and observations, including models with/without shock precursors and their synergy with atomic physics. Observations of BDSs in supernova remnants are reviewed on an object-by-object basis. The relevance of BDSs towards understanding the acceleration of cosmic rays in shocks is emphasized. Probable and possible detections of BDSs in astrophysical objects other than supernova remnants, including pulsar wind nebulae and high-redshift galaxies, are described. The case for the continued future of studying BDSs in astrophysics is made, including their relevance towards understanding electron–ion temperature equilibration in collisionless shocks.

Full textAbstract:
According to the singularity theorem, a curvature singularity can be formed in a gravitational collapse under the null energy condition. Eventually, the singularity possesses sufficient mass density for the horizon to appear, and the compact object thereby evolves into a black hole. Hence, on the basis of general relativity, the singularity must be located at the center of the black hole. Our curiosity begins here: can we see the singularity? To answer this question, the cosmic censorship conjecture comes into play. That conjecture, which was originally proposed by Penrose, has two versions. The weak version states that a static observer located outside the black hole cannot see the singularity. Furthermore, the strong version states that no observers can see the singularity. Studies regarding the cosmic censorship conjecture are still ongoing, and evidently, its validation requires a deep understanding of the theory of gravity, including general relativity. Herein, we review the progress of studies associated with the weak and the strong cosmic censorship conjectures. Furthermore, we briefly describe the Penrose process for extracting energy from a black hole.

AbstractKnowing the distance of an astrophysical object is key to understanding it. However, at present, comparisons of theory and observations are hampered by precision (or lack thereof) in distance measurements or estimates. Putting the many recent results and new developments into the broader context of the physics driving cosmic distance determination is the next logical step, which will benefit from the combined efforts of theorists, observers and modellers working on a large variety of spatial scales, and spanning a wide range of expertise. IAU Symposium 289 addressed the physics underlying methods of distance determination across the Universe, exploring the various approaches employed to define the milestones along the road. The meeting provided an exciting snapshot of the field of distance measurement, offering not only up-to-date results and a cutting-edge account of recent progress, but also full discussion of the pitfalls encountered and the uncertainties that remain. One of the meeting's main aims was to provide a roadmap for future efforts in this field, both theoretically and observationally.

Abstract We study axion-photon couplings in compactifications of type IIB string theory. We find that these couplings are systematically suppressed compared to the inverse axion periodicity, as a result of two effects. First, couplings to the QED theta angle are suppressed for axion mass eigenstates that are light compared to the mass scale set by stringy instantons on the cycle supporting QED. Second, in compactifications with many axions the intersection matrix is sparse, making kinetic mixing weak. We study the resulting phenomenology in an ensemble of 200,000 toy models constructed from the Kreuzer-Skarke database up to the maximum Hodge number h1,1 = 491. We examine freeze-in production and decay of thermal axions, birefringence of the cosmic microwave background, X-ray spectrum oscillations, and constraints on the QCD axion from supernovae. We conclude that compactifications in this corner of the landscape involve many invisible axions, as well as a handful that may be detectable via photon couplings.

The article presents the relevant results of an analysis of the process of regulating private space activities. At the same time, the separate focus is on the development of space law and the main problems that currently exist in space law, including those related to the confrontation between public space law and private space law, for example: regulation of space traffic; determination of ownership of objects obtained as a result of space activities; mining and other aspects of commercialization of space activities. Additionally, a list of the main legal tasks in private space activities that require an early solution is identified, and the steps that have already been taken in this direction are described, namely, new variants of terminology, interpretation, and classification of objects and subjects of space activities, space law, and space legal relations as well as a new theory for determining the legal status of outer space are proposed. In the final analysis, it was concluded that it is necessary to continue research in further formation and improvement of the elements, interpretations, and structure of Space Private Law. To this end, the author proposed an option for further scientific research on the formation of the structure of Space Private Law based on the establishment and definition of the basic principles, concepts, and elements of such law. At the same time, the author identified the main goals, objectives, object, and subject of such research, and also, preliminary, determined the research methodology that is vital to obtain the most effective scientific results. According to the author, the results of the study on the formation of the structure of Space Private Law will be base for future foundations for regulating private space activities and preventing many legal conflicts.

Abstract This article focuses on the requisite sacred objects utilized in the ceremony of the Jewry-oath in Christian Europe. The objects, upon which Jewry-oaths were taken, were crucial for the oaths’ validity, but their nature and materiality remained invisible in the relevant primary sources. On the basis of the only extant example of such an object, a Hebrew Pentateuch that survived together with a recently-discovered fifteenth-century Nuremberg Jewry-oath, the article addresses Jewish and Christian conceptions of the sacredness of material entities, and elucidates how these conceptions impinged upon the role of the objects in the oath-taking ceremony.

Full textAbstract:
One of the problems of modern optics is accurate and full description of the object and light fields. Thus, the optical properties of the materials should be characterized not only by their absorption, but also by the refraction, and the light fields near the object and detector — not only by the intensity, but also by the phase. The 1972 the work of Gershberg and Saxton was the first attempt to solve this problem in free space without optical elements, relying only on a quadratic detector and a computer simulation of the wave propagation. Today, such lensless imaging is used at different wavelengths, from terahertz to hard X-rays. The purpose of this work is to give a brief introduction to the theory of lensless imaging which can be applied to the X-ray region. The results of the corresponding experiments in invisible light using He-Ne laser and testing objects are also presented.

Full textAbstract:
This article tacks back towards the idealist side of the argument, in a spirited defence of critical humanism against the radical symmetry of ANT. Vandenberghe argues that the critique of reification and the ethics of emancipation require us to go beyond the `flat ontology' of ANT and its intermediate level of sociotechnical networks towards a more stratified view of social reality, which is able to account for the determining effect of broader generative but invisible structures of domination. Reasserting the categorical distinction between the ontological regions inhabited by humans and nonhumans, he develops a critical opposition between the gift economy, which emphasizes qualitative relations of reciprocity between humans and which tends towards the personalization of things, and the commodity economy, which objectifies things as property, promotes the reification of persons, and turns them into strategically operating `humants'. This model is critically applied to ANT by suggesting that its `fetishist' attribution of social power to nonhumans effectively results from a failure to account for the emergent properties of the broader relational and cultural systems in which they are embedded, and which overdetermine the blackboxed object worlds which ANT has described.

Full textAbstract:
The attention that the Swiss modernist writer Robert Walser pays to domestic violence can be regarded as exceptional. So why does child abuse still remain a blind spot in the scholarship on Walser? This article discerns techniques that Walser uses to render family violence invisible, such as multiperspectivism and changes of tonality. These aesthetic techniques gain in depth through comparison to concepts from object relations theory: Sándor Ferenczi’s “identification with the aggressor” and Wilfred R. Bion’s “attacks on linking.” With family brutality, the problem of perspective is not purely formal but intrinsic, because part of the violence of domestic violence is the exhausting degree of affective mobility it demands—a capacity but also a vertiginous obligation to change tones and perspectives.

Abstract Modern galaxy surveys demand extensive survey volumes and resolutions surpassing current dark matter-only simulations' capabilities. To address this, many methods employ effective bias models on the dark matter field to approximate object counts on a grid. However, realistic catalogs necessitate specific coordinates and velocities for a comprehensive understanding of the Universe. In this research, we explore sub-grid modeling to create accurate catalogs, beginning with coarse grid number counts at resolutions of approximately 5.5 h -1 Mpc per side. These resolutions strike a balance between modeling nonlinear damping of baryon acoustic oscillations and facilitating large-volume simulations. Augmented Lagrangian Perturbation Theory (ALPT) is utilized to model the dark matter field and motions, replicating the clustering of a halo catalog derived from a massive simulation at z = 1.1. Our approach involves four key stages: Tracer Assignment: Allocating dark matter particles to tracers based on grid cell counts, generating additional particles to address discrepancies. Attractor Identification: Defining attractors based on particle cosmic web environments, acting as gravitational focal points. Tracer Collapse: Guiding tracers towards attractors, simulating structure collapse. Redshift Space Distortions: Introducing redshift space distortions to simulated catalogs using ALPT and a random dispersion term. Results demonstrate accurate reproduction of monopoles and quadrupoles up to wave numbers of approximately k = 0.6 h Mpc-1. This method holds significant promise for galaxy surveys like DESI, EUCLID, and LSST, enhancing our understanding of the cosmos across scales.

Full textAbstract:
This article is primarily focused on sound design in the performing arts. While scenography is usually defined as the visual/object elements of a performance design, it is often discussed as including all of the heard and seen elements: sound, costume, lighting, sets, props and projections. The intention is that these elements work synergistically to create a ‘whole-more-than-the-sum-of-its-parts’, with scenography considered a wholistic discipline that embraces many aspects to support the intentions of the creators and the performers in a performance. Scenographic designers provide bespoke or unique solutions required to do this across specific briefs and budgets. While the discussion here centres on sound design for performance in Melbourne, it is intended to apply more broadly, particularly in developing a more complementary, integrated approach to sound in scenography, and regarding education and processes. This is to encourage a more global and inclusive consideration of the topic ‐ to develop discussion, and therefore potential ‐ of the manifold interrelationships in scenographic design in the performing arts. While there is no attempt to explicitly answer a key question or propose a defined theory, this discussion intends to illuminate various issues in sound design for performing arts in order to develop conceptual and practical approaches that enhance the collaborations and synergies possible in scenography for performing arts, ensuring that the whole is indeed more than the sum of its parts.

This essay explores notable coincidences in Juan Larrea’s poetics with some cen-tral points in quantum physics, such as, the correlation between the search in his inner self and the investigations on the atom taking place during the first decades of the twentieth-century, between leaving aside the monolithic subjectivity in favor of a universal and collective Spirit and the «entangled» observer in the cosmic web, object of his/her obser-vation, in modern physics, and, particularly, the role of the French language in dealing with the conflict with Western dualisms and their possible resolution in Bohr’s principle of complementarity, a parallel of Basarab Nicolescu’s theory of the hidden third.

Full textAbstract:
There are several ways whereby medieval theories of vision may have contributed to the rise of practices some saw as idolatrous. A feature of much medieval art is the rise of naturalistic representation. This process was facilitated by the use of linear perspective, based ultimately on Euclid's visual cone. We are told its application led viewers to confuse a representation with its object. The theory of extramission influenced medieval piety profoundly. First, by suggesting that the eye emits a ray and ‘touches’ its object, it led worshippers to believe that seeing the Eucharistic host had a salvific effect. This may have led them to think that seeing images of saints or God had a similar effect. Second, by implying that the subject was active in the process of seeing, it underpinned Augustine's theory of vision, whereby one trained the eye to access the invisible through the visible. However, as he was aware, the untrained eye could linger on physical objects and want to possess them. Finally, there was much debate about how visual information was mediated. Some argued that it was transmitted by intermediate bodies. The parallels between their language and that used by iconophobes to describe the images they rejected are striking and merit further investigation. Others argued that the viewer had direct access to the object. This understanding, when combined with the idea that seeing equates to knowing, may have led worshippers to believe that seeing an image of God meant they might in some sense know him.

The concept of existence started with the bigbang theory, which was a phenomenon where multiple objects collided to create multiple other things. This creation is said to be increasing at the rate of the cosmic acceleration due to which multiple new objects came into existence called as the astronomical objects. Space object (SO) detection, classification, and characterization are significant challenges in many research fields. In recent years, deep learning and other forms of artificial intelligence (AI) have drawn the attention of many astronomers and academics. Megacosm is project that is used for the classification and the identification of those newly created celestial objects. It works on the process of manually training the model with the data annotation techniques and the dataset is enhanced using the data augmentation technique. It uses YOLO as the core algorithm and also deep learning concepts like CNN (Convolution Neural Network) to predict results. It gives the output as a bounding box around the detected object along with the accuracy of that prediction.

Full textAbstract:
New England in 1692 was a community grappling with the cosmic meaning of capitalism in an age during which the market came to define life in the Atlantic world. Binding contracts, mobile capital and commodity exchange offered both philosophical proof and significant peril for a community rooted in a firm belief in the sacredness of contract covenants and in the reality of spectral forces intervening into the material world. As a result, the legal documents produced during the bloody witchcraft crisis that swept Massachusetts in those terrible years articulate a widespread anxiety about the potentially accursed nature of commodities that travel through and index social connections, the morally ambiguous incursions of invisible economic forces into everyday life, the compelling experience of contracts given divine or diabolical aegis and the cultural syncretism of a constellated culture bound together through market interrelations. As tales of witchcraft have taken root firmly as American narrative touchstones, those anxieties have remained central to representations of the witch trials in popular imagination. The novels, plays and films that return to the crisis’ collection of legal documents, economic contracts and oral performances, position contested issues of obliterative commodification, troubled economic social contact and cultural and racial insecurity at the heart of American folklore. This reading re-centres both primary sources and subsequent popular depictions of the witch crisis around the stories told through contracts and around the commodities and commodity exchanges that remained persistent features of Massachusetts Bay’s imbricated modes of storytelling.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we try to use a new way to deduce the transformation formula of special relativity. On the premise of not assuming that time delay and length contraction, we use the experimentally verified Planck energy formula, momentum formula and mass-energy equation as the basis, namely, the Doppler frequency shift formula of the special theory of relativity, the moving mass formula and the velocity transformation formula in the special theory of relativity can be obtained. At the same time, the biggest innovation of this paper is: (1) The preconditions of the Doppler frequency shift formula are supplemented, and it is pointed out that the Doppler frequency shift formula The relative motion speed of the object in the frequency shift formula of Doppler relativity is actually relative to the speed after the object emits photons, not relative to the speed before emission, which makes up for the deficiency of the frequency shift formula of Doppler relativity; (2) This paper also proves that in the special theory of relativity, the two conclusions of time delay effect and length contraction effect are superfluous. Then our conclusion in another article may be correct: Simultaneity is possible in different inertial frames, and the space is relatively independent. In this way, we can make more reasonable explanations for phenomena such as quantum entanglement at a distance and cosmic inflation.

Full textAbstract:
SS433 is the first example of a microquasar discovered in the Galaxy. It is a natural laboratory for studies of extraordinarily interesting physical processes that are very important for the relativistic astrophysics, cosmic gas dynamics and theory of evolution of stars. The object has been studied for over 40 years in the optical, X-ray and radio bands. By now, it is generally accepted that SS433 is a massive eclipsing X-ray binary in an advanced stage of evolution in the supercritical regime of accretion on the relativistic object. Intensive spectral and photometric observations of SS433 at the Caucasian Mountain Observatory of the P. K. Sternberg Astronomical Institute of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University made it possible to find the ellipticity of the SS433 orbit and to discover an increase in the system’s orbital period. These results shed light on a number of unresolved issues related to SS433. In particular, a refined estimate of the mass ratio MxMv>0.8 was obtained (Mx and Mv are the masses of the relativistic object and optical star). Based on these estimates, the relativistic object in the SS433 system is the black hole; its mass is >8M⊙. The ellipticity of the orbit is consistent with the “slaved” accretion disc model. The results obtained made it possible to understand why SS433 evolves as the semi-detached binary instead of the common envelope system.

Katharina Mader, Jana Schultheiss: Feminist Economics – Challenging MainstreamEconomics? The prevailing assumption that economics is inherently gender-neutral is notalways explicitly formulated, but is tacitly assumed. Economics does not only conceal thecategory of gender, both in its biological and social understanding, but also gender relations andthe corresponding power, domination and inequalities. However, economic theories are notgender-neutral, but based on androcentric values and world views. The examination herewithis an object of feminist economics. Gender-blind economics systematically underestimatesthe contributions of women to the economy. In particular, the entire area of unpaid work,social cohesion and interpersonal responsibility remains invisible, with no broader publicappreciation and no adequate attention within economic theory and economic policy. Thepaper contains an overview of the state of feminist economics, given its pluralistic characteristicsand common assumptions. It reflects upon the extent to which feminist economicscan provide answers and alternatives to the central points of criticism of orthodox economicsand its political implications

ABSTRACT Synchrotron radio emission from non-relativistic jets powered by massive protostars has been reported, indicating the presence of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields of strength ∼0.3–5 mG. We study diffusive shock acceleration and magnetic field amplification in protostellar jets with speeds between 300 and 1500 km s−1. We show that the magnetic field in the synchrotron emitter can be amplified by the non-resonant hybrid (Bell) instability excited by the cosmic ray streaming. By combining the synchrotron data with basic theory of Bell instability we estimate the magnetic field in the synchrotron emitter and the maximum energy of protons. Protons can achieve maximum energies in the range 0.04–0.65 TeV and emit γ rays in their interaction with matter fields. We predict detectable levels of γ rays in IRAS 16547−5247 and IRAS 16848−4603. The γ ray flux can be significantly enhanced by the gas mixing due to Rayleigh–Taylor instability. The detection of this radiation by the Fermi satellite in the GeV domain and the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array at higher energies may open a new window to study the formation of massive stars, as well as diffusive acceleration and magnetic field amplification in shocks with velocities of about 1000 km s−1.

Full textAbstract:
It is well known that a fundamental theorem of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) set in flat spacetime ensures the CPT invariance of the theory. This symmetry is strictly connected to the Lorentz covariance, and consequently to the fundamental structure of spacetime. Therefore it may be interesting to investigate the possibility of departure from this fundamental symmetry, since it can furnish a window to observe possible effects of a more fundamental quantum gravity theory in a “lower energy limit”. Moreover, in the past, the inquiry of symmetry violations provided a starting point for new physics discoveries. A useful physical framework for this kind of search is provided by astroparticle physics, thanks to the high energy involved and to the long path travelled by particles accelerated by an astrophysical object and then revealed on Earth. Astrophysical messengers are therefore very important probes for investigating this sector, involving high energy photons, charged particles, and neutrinos of cosmic origin. In addition, one can also study artificial neutrino beams, investigated at accelerator experiments. Here we discuss the state of art for all these topics and some interesting new proposals, both from a theoretical and phenomenological point of view.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to articulate the conflict of alterity models in the work of John Law. These models were elaborated to overcome the critique of actor-network theory (ANT) launched by the academic community in 1990s. A periodization of Law's work is performed and relevant conceptual resources extracted for each of its stages. His work is periodized as a Bloorian sociology of scientific knowledge, Foucauldian actor-network theory, and Deleuz-ian actor-network theory. Despite using different conceptual resources, the main problem explicated by Law was the "accomplishment" character of both knowledge and the ontological characteristics of objects. The problem of the Other becomes relevant in the Deleuzian period of Law's work, where he attempts to elaborate conceptual optics capable of overcoming the problem by appealing to social topology. However, he almost instantly tries to 46 elaborate one more way to overcome the problem of the Other based on a metaphysics of presence. Law does not distinguish these optics. Instead, he tries to present them as complementary parts of his conception. However, an analysis of these optics shows that they are deeply contradictory: the first is within an ontological and the second is within an epistemological conceptual framework. Social topology tries to answer the question of "how do objects function when built into human social life?", while the metaphysics of presence tries to answer the question of "how to make the elements which are invisible to the classical methods accessible to knowledge again?". This makes it possible to distinguish those models as contributing to Law's theory of objects and theory of method, respectively, and to present the work of Law as two coherent theories.

The article describes the scientific and social aspects of the functioning of the scientific school created by S. Mosсoviсi, revealing various forms of this association: a research team, a scientific direction, an invisible college. The authors focus on the possibility of studying social representations through the inclusion of new analytical methods in the diagnostic toolkit, in particular, iconographic documents and images of a social object, which indicates the current stage of the functioning of S. Mosсoviсis scientific school. The formation of social representations not only through verbal associations but also through drawings is explored by the authors through the example of how adolescents develop their social representations of a scientist. The purpose of this study is to highlight the categorical features of the image of a scientist in modern Russian adolescents, identified using the DAST drawing technique. The hypothesis of the research is the assumption that the system of social representations of a scientist among Russian adolescents contains both stable indicators of a persons belonging to the professional scientific community and variable contextual elements of the scientists image, whereas the degree of expression and the ratio of stable and contextual elements reflect the characteristics of the scientists image in domestic respondents. The Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST) technique was used as the main diagnostic tool aimed at identifying adolescent representations of a scientist based on iconographic associations.The obtained drawings were analyzed by the expert evaluation method, involving the procedures of correlation and factor analysis. The results of the study show that Russian adolescents generally have a stereotypical representation of a scientist associated with the use of general indicators of external appearance, which determine the professional affiliation of the character depicted. Differences were found in the frequency of using stable and contextual iconographic elements of drawings. It has been shown that it is possible to use the drawing technique as a diagnostic tool for identifying social representations of a scientist based on an analysis of the meaning of an object through its iconographic fixation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is devoted to the “nature of image” in the new media environment. The author re-conceptualizes the image as a basis of textual, visual and audial culture. Two factors of this revision are explained: (1) the facilitation of the complex creation and consumption of communicative unities, or artifacts (complexes of video, audio, texts and other forms), (2) the ability to capture a massive interest for new forms of imagery in social networks and the internet (a research evidence of this interest). The theory of the image, presented in the writings of Jean-Luc Nancy, is applied to the actual facts of communicative exchange allowing to identify some new directions for the development of media aesthetic phenomena. The main empirical material of the article is the growing mass interest in video and audio clips, such as #oddlysatisfying and ASMR. The author uses this material to confirm Nancy’s idea on the concentration of image formation in an “invisible” zone (beyond the representation of the object itself: the image is interlined, it is between sounds, it is behind pictures).

Full textAbstract:
The theory of competition is one of the main theories of modern economic science and is an important component of its methodological and theoretical apparatus. In the classical and neoclassical paradigm of economic science, competition is objective, independent of individual economic entities, the basis of the market mechanism, an “invisible hand” that coordinates the activities of producers and consumers, the distribution of limited resources, the creation, distribution and use of economic benefits. Over the past 250 years, the theory of competition has gone through the path of formation and development and currently has a developed methodology that has made it possible to distinguish and study various types of competition and various types of market structures: pure competition, oligopoly, pure monopoly, monopolistic competition. The developed economic and mathematical apparatus of the microeconomic theory of competition makes it possible to realize its cognitive, practical and ideological functions. But throughout the entire period of formation and development of the theory of competition, there has been criticism of it. The object of criticism are both theoretical and practical aspects of the theory of competition. The most prominent opponents of the supporters of the theory of competition are Russian scientists: P. Kropotkin, A. Chayanov, N. Kondratiev, M. Tugan-Baranovsky, S. Kirdina-Chandler, G. Kleiner and others. They contrast the theory of competition with the theory of mutual aid, according to which mutual aid, not competition, is the driving force behind economic development. The authors of the article reconstructed the process of formation and development of the theory of competition and the theory of mutual assistance, revealed the relative heuristic significance of both theories, clarified the concept of “mutual assistance” in relation to the concept of “cooperation”, substantiated the existence of the dichotomy “mutual assistance – competition” and proved that it is driving force of economic development.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to propose the concept of synchronization as a minimal temporal quantum of social interactions. For this, the author turns to the sociological concepts of synchronization and places them on the "macro/micro" continuum. The author systematically moves from macrotheories to theories of everyday life, discovering a feature common 98 to macrosociological theories of synchronization along the way: the object under study is not an independent phenomenon, but acts as nothing more than a manifestation, a sign of something else (requiring study from the point of view of a macrosociologist). However, when moving to theories that study everyday interactions here-and-now - a similar substitution is found: synchronization turns out to be subordinate to the logic of practices, frames, ethnomethods, and acts only as their predicate. The key question for the author is whether it is possible to keep “microsynchronization” in focus at all, avoiding its reduction to other phenomena? In an attempt to answer this question, the author makes a distinction between explicit and implicit synchronization using examples of interaction between a conductor and a musical orchestra (explicit) and interactions between drivers and pedestrians at unregulated intersections (implicit). And if in the case of the first, its key characteristics are easily detected (collectivity, transcendence, centralization), then the second one turns out to be “invisible” and appears only as a mechanism for ordering interactions in time. In other words, the author shows that synchronization is found at the very foundation of interactions, that is, it serves to maintain the process of mutual tuning and the temporal coordination here-and-now.

Full textAbstract:
Plutarch of Chaeronea was a prominent Middle Platonist, influential both in early Christian Platonism and in pagan Neoplatonic schools. One of the significant markers of this succession is an increasing interest in symbolism and terminological usage of the term symbol. As Plutarch provided almost no explicit theory of symbolism, this research focuses on the contextual word usage in his writings, its analysis and reconstruction of Plutarchian symbolism in the philosophical milieu of his time. Plutarch understands symbol as a two-level entity, which combines an ordinary object or object-related action with a signification of some other entity that is absent, invisible or otherwise imperceptible, so a symbol points to it or acts instead of it. Unlike signs, symbols are ambiguous and may have multiple meanings. Moreover, the polysemanticism of a symbol is considered its strong advantage that reveals the ontological profundity of the symbolized entity. Symbols may appear odd and amazing, thus provoking philosophical inspiration in a person trying to decipher them. Along with single symbols, Plutarch provides examples of integral symbolic systems, among which he mentions human languages. Finally, symbols may be not only passive pointers or reminders but also actors, which influence human decisions and deeds. Plutarch provides a detailed description of the way daemons use symbols as a means to induce mortals to make correct choices. The general pattern of Plutarchian symbolism can be compared with similar conceptions of Clement of Alexandria, Porphyry of Tyre, and Iamblichus of Chalcis.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCollisionless shocks are shocks in which the mean-free path is much larger than the shock front. They are ubiquitous in astrophysics and the object of much current attention as they are known to be excellent particle accelerators that could be the key to the cosmic rays enigma. While the scenario leading to the formation of a fluid shock is well known, less is known about the formation of a collisionless shock. We present theoretical and numerical results on the formation of such shocks when two relativistic and symmetric plasma shells (pair or electron/proton) collide. As the two shells start to interpenetrate, the overlapping region turns Weibel unstable. A key concept is the one of trapping time τp, which is the time when the turbulence in the central region has grown enough to trap the incoming flow. For the pair case, this time is simply the saturation time of the Weibel instability. For the electron/proton case, the filaments resulting from the growth of the electronic and protonic Weibel instabilities, need to grow further for the trapping time to be reached. In either case, the shock formation time is 2τp in two-dimensional (2D), and 3τp in 3D. Our results are successfully checked by particle-in-cell simulations and may help designing experiments aiming at producing such shocks in the laboratory.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a fast object detection algorithm based on structural light analysis, which aims to detect and recognize human gesture and pose and then to conclude the respective commands for human-robot interaction control. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, the human poses are estimated and analyzed by the proposed scheme, and then the resultant data concluded by the fuzzy decision-making system are used to launch respective robotic motions. The RGB camera and the infrared light module aim to do distance estimation of a body or several bodies. Findings – The modules not only provide image perception but also objective skeleton detection. In which, a laser source in the infrared light module emits invisible infrared light which passes through a filter and is scattered into a semi-random but constant pattern of small dots which is projected onto the environment in front of the sensor. The reflected pattern is then detected by an infrared camera and analyzed for depth estimation. Since the depth of object is a key parameter for pose recognition, one can estimate the distance to each dot and then get depth information by calculation of distance between emitter and receiver. Research limitations/implications – Future work will consider to reduce the computation time for objective estimation and to tune parameters adaptively. Practical implications – The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system. Originality/value – This paper achieves real-time human-robot interaction by visual detection based on structural light analysis.

Abstract Countless scholars have wrestled with the ambiguities and complexities in determining the role of the noema in Husserl’s theory of intentionality since his transcendental turn, and consequently converted what was intended to be a structural solution to a problem into a contested problem itself.1 Shifting emphasis from the ‘whatness’, or ontological concerns of the correlate noesis—noema to the ‘howness’, or methodological force of phenomenology, allows me to discuss two things. The first is theological. Before and since Janicaud’s pronouncement of the ‘theological turn’ in phenomenology, the intentionality thesis has been rejected as a means to account for certain experiences given differently to object-phenomena (Janicaud, 2000). In accounting for religious experience as a complex movement between faith and doubt, my work reaches not for the ‘essence of phenomenality’ (Marion), or a givenness beyond intuition made invisible, nor does it seek to describe a transcendence beyond immanence, or proof in the existence of a god/gods, rather it concerns itself with the processes and underlying structures of belief. Arguably by focusing upon the noetic and noematic structure of intentional acts, intentional analysis is revitalised for delineating the belief modalities of faith and doubt in religious experiences.

The Euler’s holomorphic regenerative universe is a quantum-gravitational theory of Earth development recognizing that oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the Earth’s hydrosphere engender biological processes along with living organisms able to reshape the planet as surely as any physical force, but with delayed effects, the so-called torsional/gravitational buckling lag. Herein, the environmental sciences as a Vernadsky’s hypothesis precursor to these, become vital for preserving biological recurrent cycles, their nature being artificially changed by a vicious human intervention. The present paper describes the thermal gravitational mechanism of a solar system associated with the regenerative processes of molecular structures (in biology called metabolism or growth) at the quantum-gravitational scale, too slow to be perceived. The term “morph” (or the concept of “morphing” in aeronautics, in mathematics called topological holomorphism) originates from ancient Greeks and refers to the shape, figure, or other related aspects of an evolving entity. Therefore, morphing/morphism pertains to the process of modifying the original form or appearance of a particular object or system. The planets of solar system like “cosmic organisms” can manipulate the curvature and twist of their surfaces to maintain precise control over their recurrent cyclical complex motions (double, orbital and sideral rotations) by the thermal gravitational waves. The out of order function of the thermal gravitational mechanism can lead to the global warming effects associated with both reshaping (earthquakes, fires, floods) surfaces and morphing (as a whole energy metabolism) mutations, crucial for perpetuity of human beings. At the same time, the concept of quantum-gravity light with a topological dual isomorphic structure solves the fundamental problem of a unified theory of physical forces, as kinematic fast dynamo electromagnetic forces for splitting quanta bonded into atomic structures, and persistent (long time) gravitational forces for non-splitting quanta bonded into thermomolecular morphing structures. The only problem remains to gauge such multiple cooperative physical phenomena induced by light, which is solved by diverse reciprocity/equivalence theorems and corresponding conversion factors.

Simulation shows that general relativity would lead to the existence of black holes if gravitation is always attractive. However, although we observed an invisible and extremely heavy object governs the orbits of stars at the center of our galaxy, we still cannot determine the existence of a black hole. Thus, one may ask whether black holes actually exist. Einstein’s general relativity has been established, because its prediction on the bending of light rays has been confirmed by observation. However, Einstein’s prediction on the increment of weight for a piece of metal as the temperature increases is proven incorrect by experiments, which actually show a reduction of weight. This leads to the necessary existence of repulsive gravitational force, which has been demonstrated by a charged capacitor hovering above the earth. Thus, Einstein, Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell all made the error of overlooking the repulsive gravitational charge-mass interaction. Thus, it is necessary to rejustify the existence of black holes, because gravity is not always attractive. Moreover, repulsive gravitational force makes it necessary to extend general relativity to a five-dimensional theory. Thus, to find out whether black holes exist, it is necessary to investigate the repulsive gravitation and a five-dimensional space.

Full textAbstract:
The correspondence theory of truth is briefly defined as “the correspondence of knowledge to its object”, that is, the correspondence of an expression, proposition, belief, or statement of situation to a truth. According to that, it’s accuracy takes shape as a two-way correspondence relation between a proposition and a fact (or situation) in the world. Therefore, the correspondence theory makes it possible to make a characterization of truth or falsity about things in the world that are currently observable, known as subject-independent facts. That is, a proposition is true if and only if there is a situation corresponding to it in reality. This means that truth is an objective reality established by the connection between propositions and facts, and also contrasts with theories of truth that say truth depends on one's point of view or what one believes. Correspondence theory provides the basis for all theories of truth. It can be said that Aristotle's statement, “to say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true” is the most cited place regarding the theory of correspondence. As can be said based on this definition the correspondence theory is an approach to reality, defined as the conformity of true knowledge to its object, that keeps the possibility of true knowledge registered only with the experienceable, observable world. This approach to reality does not have a separate form, and throughout history, with various interpretations, it has sometimes focused on a subject-independent reality and sometimes on a subject-centered reality. Historically, most of the proponents of correspondence theory have been metaphysical realists. Despite this, it is not a necessity to establish a correspondence theory on the basis of metaphysical realism. It is possible, for example, to accept that facts in the external world will determine which propositions are true or false, and at the same time that the world (and its facts) is nothing more than a collection of ideas in the mind of a supreme being. When we look at the historical voyage of the theory, it can be seen that philosophers who consider truth as the conformity of knowledge to its object generally base their equations on a metaphysical principle. In its historical transformation, for Aristotle the correspondence theory appeared as a compatibility between the knowledge in the mind and what actually appears in reality, for Aquinas as the compatibility of the knowledge of the object with that in the design of a higher and more comprehensive truth -God- in and as a mathematical certainty for Descartes. In the process that started with Kant, the criteria of truth began to be questioned. Al-ism wa al-musammā discussions in the Kalam tradition can also find a place in the historical voyage of the theory, in the transition from Aristotle to Aquinas. Considering that in Aquinas, the correspondence between God's knowledge and what exists constitutes truth, the al-ism wa al-musammā discussions can be considered as an intermediate form of correspondence theory that is both subject-based and object-based. From this point of view it seems that determining the epistemological values of propositions expressing a metaphysical belief or a moral judgment cannot be achieved with the correspondence theory. In this article, firstly, what the theory of correspondence is and its historical voyage will be discussed, and then the expression “the image of the invisible god” in the Bible in Colossians 1:15 will be analyzed. Following this, the connection of the correspondence theory with the isim – müsemma discussions in the kalam tradition, its historical inclusion in the development of the correspondence theory, and Yunus Emre's statements “I took shape in flesh and bones and appeared as Yunus” will be examined in the context of this discussion. Let us point out here that al-ism wa al-musammā discussions are an extension of the mutakallims’ discussions about adjectives. Kalam scholars (mutakallims) have discussed the issue of al-ism wa al-musammā, specifically the relationship between noun and adjective, person and adjective, since some of Allah's attributes are also His names. It is thought that Muslim mutakallims tended to investigate the relationship between the divine attributes and the essence of God, based on the Christians' explanation of the understanding of God as “three separate entities of a single body”. Based on all this and what we mentioned above ultimately, a judgment will be made as to whether the correspondence theory can confirm the metaphysical statements we will discuss here.

Unconscious motivational issues draw people, as a source of desire, to a particular work group. This paper follows the open systems tradition in exploring some of the invisible issues that cross the boundary into the organisation which reveal aspects of the desire for the work group in the mind. It also addresses some of the ways the relation between people and technology express desire and motivation. This suggests a sometimes unconscious significance of this important and ‘prosthetic’ socio-technical relation between group, mind, body, and technology. Examples will be drawn from consulting to the organisational fields of a theological college, an offenders' institution, a creative interior design factory, the psychiatric service in a prison, and staffing group relations conferences. Each profession performs unconscious transformational tasks on behalf of its environment and expects that its staff will manage the risks to their health. Part of this risk is that the work group is desired because it serves to suppress emotional experience of a particular kind, which people seek to avoid, and yet aspects of the work may expose precisely what people dread to have exposed, which is not conceivable until it has been enacted and embodied. This work draws on previous presentations to Opus and work in the context of consulting to occupational health issues and their relation to organisational culture and strategy. It describes health and safety stress risk analysis encountered in the field of work force health for which organisations now carry a statutory responsibility. These represent occupational hazards at the level of socio-somatic ailments. These are the socio-psychic correlates to the dust miners breathe in unconsciously ‘with the air down the mine’. In reflecting on these phenomena, the paper explores a number of theoretical approaches to provide ways of exploring, apprehending, and thinking about experience. These include: • Bion's theory of the protomental system that is in a reciprocal relation to basic assumption dynamics in groups; • Lacan's exploration of the nature of desire; • the sociology of embodiment as an attempt to describe health experience in social terms; • group-analytic approach to the group as an object of desire developed by Morris Nitsun and its revelation in the use of language as a body of thought; • socio-technical analysis of organisational culture.

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the esoteric version of the origin of the Japanese language, put forward by the Buddhist monk Keichū 契沖 (1640–1701), who is considered the founder of the national cultural and philosophical movement kokugaku 國學, emerging during the Tokugawa period. In his main treatise Man'yō Daishōki 万葉代匠記, relying on his own set of orthographic rules for spelling Japanese in kana (kanazukai 仮名遣い), Keichū tries to prove the inconsistency of the former Fujiwara Teika system and at the same time to reveal the esoteric nature of the structure of speech. According to Keichū, fifty characters of the Japanese alphabet make up a whole integral system in which all sounds originate from the Sanskrit sign “A”. This shows the interdependent relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm, expressed in the sounds that form the language as an instrument of communication and comprehension, which manifests the universality of the nature of the cosmic Buddha Vairochana. Based on this metonymic connection, Keichū concludes that studying the structure of the Japanese language is equivalent to cognition of the world as a sacred object and, accordingly, forms a more rational and open approach to understanding the essence of classical Japanese literature, which distinguishes it favorably from the closed linear tradition adopted in the Heian era. Further study of Man'yō Daishōki is of particular interest to researchers of the kokugaku school, since it may provide additional information about the Buddhist origins of this trend, whose followers then, on the contrary, denied the positive influence of Buddhism on Japanese culture and preferred not to mention Keichū at all as the founder of kokugaku tradition (for example, Hirata Atsutane). It may also shed light on the contribution of Buddhist philosophy to the formation of the tradition of scientific empiricism in Japan at the end of the XVII century.

Recently, Padmanabhan has discussed that the expansion of the cosmic space is due to the difference between the number of degrees of freedom on the boundary surface and the number of degrees of freedom in a bulk region. Now, a natural question arises that how these degrees of freedom emerged from nothing? We try to address this issue in a new theory which is more complete than M-theory and reduces to it with some limitations. In M-theory, there is no stable object like stable M3-branes that our universe is formed on it and for this reason cannot help us to explain cosmological events. In this research, we propose a new theory, named G-theory which could be the mother of M-theory and superstring theory. In G-theory, at the beginning, two types of G0-branes, one with positive energy and one with negative energy are produced from nothing in 14 dimensions. Then, these branes are compactified on three circles via two different ways (symmetrically and anti-symmetrically), and two bosonic and fermionic parts of action for M0-branes are produced. By joining M0-branes, supersymmetric Mp-branes are created which contain the equal number of degrees of freedom for fermions and bosons. Our universe is constructed on one of Mp-branes and other Mp-brane and extra energy play the role of bulk. By dissolving extra energy which is produced by compacting actions of Gp-branes, into our universe, the number of degrees of freedom on it and also its scale factor increase and universe expands. We test G-theory with observations and find that the magnitude of the slow-roll parameters and the tensor-to-scalar ratio in this model are very much smaller than one which are in agreement with predictions of experimental data. Finally, we consider the origin of the extended theories of gravity in G-theory and show that these theories could be anomaly free.

AbstractRadio continuum emission due to thermal bremsstrahlung and optical Hαspectral line emission arise from processes involving similar atomic entities and physical conditions. The relationship between the flux density of the emission from the two processes is mainly a function of the electron temperature of the emitting region, modified by other factors such as the mode of radiation transfer in the hydrogen spectrum. On the other hand, radio continuum radiation due to non-thermal synchrotron emission is formed by species and processes not involved in thermal emission. As a consequence, differences between the observed radio continuum emission and Hαemission from cosmic sources can provide reliable information on a variety of important physical aspects of the sources, including the relative importance of thermal and non-thermal radio emission and the degree of optical obscuration. This paper reviews the theory of the formation of Hαand the radio continuum in the interstellar medium (ISM), discusses some of the factors that must be considered in comparing observations made in the two frequency regimes, and summarises the properties of some classes of galactic object that emit both optical and radio radiation.
