Когнітивні конструкти української самоідентичності в контексті інформаційного протистояння

Mental map of the national ideal as the core of the national self-identity performs one of the main features in the psychological development of human beings. Basic cognitive constructs of the national identity are not only mutually determined by the mental map of the national ideal, but also affect the formation of national interests. The latter ones, as value-oriented related constructs of the national identity, have their own hierarchical system that is built up in order of importance of existing functionality in relation to the implementation of the national ideal. Information confrontation is a competition of social systems (countries, blocs of countries) in the information area about the impact on certain areas of social relations and control of sources of strategic resources, in which one group of participants of the competition receives the benefits they need for further development.Ментальная карта национального идеала, как ядро национальной самоидентичности, выполняет одну из главных функций в психологическом развитии человека. Базовые когнитивные конструкции национальной идентичности не только взаимоопределяются ментальной картой национального идеала, но и влияют на формирование национальных интересов. Последние, как ценностно-ориентировочные конструкты национальной идентичности, имеют свою собственную иерархическую систему, которая создается в порядке значимости действующих функций по отношению к осуществлению национального идеала. Информационное противоборство – это соперничество социальных систем (стран, блоков стран) в информационной сфере по поводу влияния на те или иные сферы социальных отношений и установление контроля над источниками стратегических ресурсов, в результате которого одна группа участников соперничества получает преимущества, необходимые им для дальнейшего развития.Ментальна карта національного ідеалу, як ядро національної самоідентичності, виконує одну з головних функцій у психологічному розвитку людини. Базові когнітивні конструкції національної ідентичності є не лише такими, що взаємно визначаються ментальною картою національного ідеалу, але і впливають на формування національних інтересів. Останні, як ціннісно-орієнтовні конструкти національної ідентичності, мають свою власну ієрархічну систему, що створюється у порядку значущості діючих функцій по відношенню до здійснення національного ідеалу. Інформаційне протиборство – це суперництво соціальних систем (країн, блоків країн) в інформаційній сфері з приводу впливу на ті або інші сфери соціальних стосунків і встановлення контролю над джерелами стратегічних ресурсів, в результаті якого одна група учасників суперництва отримує переваги, необхідні їм для подальшого розвитку

Additional spectroscopic redshift measurements for galaxy clusters from the First Planck Catalogue

We present the results of spectroscopic redshift measurements for the galaxy clusters from the first all-sky Planck catalogue of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources, that have been mostly identified by means of the optical observations performed previously by our team (Planck Collaboration, 2015a). The data on 13 galaxy clusters at redshifts from z=~0.2 to z=~0.8, including the improved identification and redshift measurement for the cluster PSZ1 G141.73+14.22 at z=0.828, are provided. The measurements were done using the data from Russian-Turkish 1.5-m telescope (RTT-150), 2.2-m Calar Alto Observatory telescope, and 6-m SAO RAS telescope (Bolshoy Teleskop Azimutalnyi, BTA).Comment: published in Astronomy Letter

Generalized Farey trees, transfer Operators and phase transitions

We consider a family of Markov maps on the unit interval, interpolating between the tent map and the Farey map. The latter map is not uniformly expanding. Each map being composed of two fractional linear transformations, the family generalizes many particular properties which for the case of the Farey map have been successfully exploited in number theory. We analyze the dynamics through the spectral analysis of generalized transfer operators. Application of the thermodynamic formalism to the family reveals first and second order phase transitions and unusual properties like positivity of the interaction function.Comment: 39 pages, 10 figure

Intercultural communication in the modern world

Глобализация, охватившая самые разные стороны общественной жизни, сегодня определяет основу жизни мирового сообщества – его экономический, социальный, информационный, культурный климат. Резкое расширение пространства коммуникаций между странами, культурами, религиями, политическими системами открывает как вражду и непримиримость, так и новые направления партнерства и сотрудничества. Сегодня возникает необходимость эффективного регулирования этих процессов через рост наднациональных систем, в пространстве которых они упорядочиваются и приобретают общее направление своего развития: возникающие метасистемы – эффективное преодоление социального хаоса.Globalization, covering the different aspects of social life today determines the basis of the world community – its economic, social, informational, cultural climate. The sharp expansion of space of communication between countries, cultures, religions, political systems reveals how the hostility and intransigence, and the new areas of partnership and cooperation. Today, there is a need for effective regulation of these processes through the growth of a supranational system, in the space which they are ordered and acquire the General direction of its development: the emergent metasystems is the effective overcoming of social chaos

Several New Active Galactic Nuclei Among X-ray Sources Detected by INTEGRAL and SWIFT Observatories

We present the results of the optical identifications of a set of X-ray sources from the all-sky surveys of INTEGRAL and SWIFT observatories. Optical data were obtained with Russian-Turkish 1.5-m Telescope (RTT150). Nine X-ray sources were identified as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Two of them are hosted by nearby, nearly exactly edge-on, spiral galaxies MCG -01-05-047 and NGC 973. One source, IGR J16562-3301, is most probably BL Lac object (blazar). Other AGNs are observed as stellar-like nuclei of spiral galaxies, with broad emission lines in their spectra. For the majority of our hard X-ray selected AGNs, their hard X-ray luminosities are well-correlated with the luminosities in [OIII],5007 optical emission line. However, the luminosities of some AGNs deviate from this correlation. The fraction of these objects can be as high as 20%. In particular, the flux in [OIII] line turns to be lower in two nearby edge-on spiral galaxies, which can be explained by the extinction in their galactic disks.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy Letters, the original text in Russian can be found at http://hea.iki.rssi.ru/~rodion/poptid.pd

Vertical Structure of the Outer Accretion Disk in Persistent Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries

We have investigated the influence of X-ray irradiation on the vertical structure of the outer accretion disk in low-mass X-ray binaries by performing a self-consistent calculation of the vertical structure and X-ray radiation transfer in the disk. Penetrating deep into the disk, the field of scattered X-ray photons with energy $E\gtrsim10$\,keV exerts a significant influence on the vertical structure of the accretion disk at a distance $R\gtrsim10^{10}$\,cm from the neutron star. At a distance $R\sim10^{11}$\,cm, where the total surface density in the disk reaches $\Sigma_0\sim20$\,g\,cm$^{-2}$, X-ray heating affects all layers of an optically thick disk. The X-ray heating effect is enhanced significantly in the presence of an extended atmospheric layer with a temperature $T_{atm}\sim(2\div3)\times10^6$\,K above the accretion disk. We have derived simple analytic formulas for the disk heating by scattered X-ray photons using an approximate solution of the transfer equation by the Sobolev method. This approximation has a $\gtrsim10$\,% accuracy in the range of X-ray photon energies $E<20$\,keV.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures, published in Astronomy Letter

Sensitivity and Insensitivity of Galaxy Cluster Surveys to New Physics

We study the implications and limitations of galaxy cluster surveys for constraining models of particle physics and gravity beyond the Standard Model. Flux limited cluster counts probe the history of large scale structure formation in the universe, and as such provide useful constraints on cosmological parameters. As a result of uncertainties in some aspects of cluster dynamics, cluster surveys are currently more useful for analyzing physics that would affect the formation of structure than physics that would modify the appearance of clusters. As an example we consider the Lambda-CDM cosmology and dimming mechanisms, such as photon-axion mixing.Comment: 24 pages, 8 eps figures.
