Cultural traditions of the Mining Institute: history and modernity
- Authors:
- I. V. Voloshinova
- L. T. Pozina
- T. V. Plyukhina
The key aspect in the process of Russia's revival is culture, which absorbs the nation's centuries-old experience, its values, which ultimately predetermine the country's development. Domestic culture is characterized by a huge heritage and an abundance of traditions, the latter representing the people's interest in soft values. The founders of these values, people with high creative potential, are prepared to a greater extent by higher school. In Russia, education has always played an outstanding role, being an important factor in the formation of moral values, as well as influencing the development of mentality and intellect. It has always been hereditarily important for the Russian higher school to aim its students not only at professional training, but also at giving them a wide scope in as many fields of thought as possible. This contributed to the development of students' balanced judgment and freedom of thought.

St. Macarius Church of the Mining Institute in the space of education, science and culture
- Authors:
- A. I. Voronov
A modern sociologist can see that the number of believers in Russia is now three times the number of inhabitants. Since one and the same person simultaneously believes in different things. People are ready to accept any delusion, without realizing what consequences it entails. This is the main temptation of occultism. It also has to do with the refusal to think (and choose). Today's man is doomed to go through the whole history of religion, starting with magic, occultism and shama-nism. It is not only the average person who faces this choice, but also the scholar. It is difficult to say what can move a person to a thought feat - common sense or normal human physiology, but one day, having realized what poison feeds him, after Osip Mandelstam's "hero of our time" will say "I drink the cold mountain air of Christianity".

- Authors:
- A. P. Gospodarikov
- S. A. Tolstunov
The article deals with the development of mechanics as a science in its historical development up to the beginning of XX century. The peculiarity of the historical development of mechanics is due to the development of technology. At the initial stage till the end of XVIII - beginning of XIX centuries technique was ahead of mechanics development, and then with the development of differential and integral calculus mechanics begins to be ahead of technique and provides its further development. The article reexamines the phases of development of technique and mechanics, while noting the trends in the development of individual sections of mechanics. Due to the emerging needs of mining, both simple and compound machines (pumps, winders, blowers, etc.) arise and are improved. With their appearance arises the need for their maintenance and repair. Special attention is paid to the contribution of Russian scientists and inventors to the progress of engineering and mechanics.

Medieval universities and the formation of the language of power
- Authors:
- O. E. Dushin
Medieval culture determined the development of many institutions of the modern West. In particular, the genesis of the authority of power is attributed to this era. This, in turn, was due to the activity of universities. It was graduates of law faculties who formed the basis of the bureaucracy and formed the relevant state documentation. Written law became the basis of social relations and the authority of power in the structure of medieval society. University education gained the status of a code of access to the system of power. Educated people, who obtained the necessary licenses and degrees, supported and asserted the significance of the authority of power. Thus, medieval scholarship developed a particular rhetoric of power, conditioned by Aristotle's political theory. The state and the power of the king were viewed through the prism of the idea of the "common good" and the natural necessity for human existence. All this determined the formation of the language of power in the High Middle Ages.

Traditions of western and Russian philosophical anthropology and the development of the educational system
- Authors:
- I. M. Evlampiev
The modern Western education system, based on the philosophy of postmodernism, seeks to completely eliminate conflicts between teacher and student and provide the student with complete freedom to choose life values. The Russian education system should take into account the ideas embedded in our philosophical tradition: the recognition of the inexhaustible and fruitful antinomianism of human essence and the belief that each person belongs to the divine spirituality. The education system must preserve the basic conflict between teacher and student, as well as the desire to form in the student a certain system of spiritual values.

Student-suicide: a historical and cultural phenomenon in Russia in the early twentieth century
- Authors:
- A. B. Lyarskii
The article investigates such a historical phenomenon as the growth of suicides among young people and especially among students in the early XX century. The author believes that although it is possible to speak about the growth of suicides among Russian students in 1906-1914, this growth was hardly of avrational and catastrophic nature. At the same time, the discussion of these suicides in the press made it possible to criticize the system that existed at that time. The created image of a suicidal student acquired a pronounced ideological character, which, on the one hand, made it possible to discuss the meaning of suicide and, on the other hand, drew attention to the fate of the intelligentsia in Russia.

Peter's policy in the field of mining and metallurgical industry was aimed at freeing the state from economic dependence on foreigners, strengthening the military power of the Russian state and meeting the needs of the domestic market. Ore mining, production of iron, copper and other metals increased significantly in Russia. Russia took one of the first places in the world in mining and processing of iron stones and smelting of pig iron.

Development of the education system in Russia under Nicholas I: the choice of evaluation criteria
- Authors:
- F. L. Sevastyanov
The article considers different points of view on the Russian education system under Nicholas I. Attention is drawn to the fact that with regard to the policy of Nicholas I in the field of educational system there are a number of hackneyed phrases and there is no criterion for assessing the development of this system. It is argued that such a criterion can only be quantitative characteristics (growth in the number of educational institutions and the number of students) and the effectiveness of the system as a whole. The effectiveness of the system can be determined only by the degree of contribution of graduates of higher mining schools to the development of the industries in which they were specialized and of the state administration at that period. The author insists on applying this criterion to technical and legal education as well. As the first experience of such an analysis at the Department of History and Political Science of the G.V. Plekhanov Leningrad Mining Institute is mentioned.

Management of mining education in the system of higher and central institutions of the Russian Empire (19th - early 20th centuries)
- Authors:
- A. R. Sokolov
The article addresses some problems of management of mining education in pre-revolutionary Russia. The author pays much attention to departmental subordination in higher education in general and in the first technical higher education institution of Russia - St. Petersburg State Mining Institute - in particular. Different periods in the history of Russian education related to the state reforms of the 19th - early 20th centuries are considered. The situation of mining educational institutions subordinated to the Ministry of Finance is analyzed, taking into account the activities of the Ministry of Public Education. As a result, the author concludes that the problem of choosing between two systems of education - centralization of the educational process in the hands of one ministry or subordination of special educational institutions to the relevant industries - was very relevant in the Soviet period.

From the history of education in the new times: philosophy in the universities of the Jesuit order
- Authors:
- L. V. Tsypina
The history of New Age education opens with the reform of the medieval school by the Society of Jesus (Societatis Jesu, 1534). The instrument providing this reform was the Plan of Instruction, the Ratio Studiorum of 1599. The educational activity of the Jesuits was based on several principles, such as universality of the educational system; continuity of secondary and higher educational classes; efficiency of functioning of schools and universities; unity of education and upbringing. The article considers the content of education in Jesuit universities, analyzes the place and role of philosophy as an academic subject. Philosophy was taught in Jesuit universities for three years and included such subjects as logic, ethics, physics, mathematics and metaphysics. The educational course was based on the philosophy of Aristotle and the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas. Jesuit professors at the University of Coimbra (Emmanuel de Goes, Cosmas de Magelhaes, Balthazar Álvarez and Sebastián de Couto) compiled a systematic course of philosophy (Cursus Conimbricences) between 1592 and 1606. This course included 8 volumes of treatises in which Conimbricences summarized and gave verbatim commentary on Aristotle's major texts. Used particularly, but by no means exclusively, in Jesuit colleges, these commentaries were widely influential throughout the 17th century and had a significant impact on the development of philosophy in Modern times.

- Authors:
- I. M. Dugin
This article draws special attention to the fact that in modern pedagogy practiced in our country, the problem of the role of the workers' collective in moral education is the subject of discussion.

- V. E. Shmidt
The article addresses the current problem of different approaches in contacts with young people who have survived an extreme situation in connection with the assessment of the adequacy of their desire to enroll in higher education. In their research the authors use methods of psychological study and distinction of features of young people who have survived an extreme situation with a risk to life and have a desire to enter a higher education institution. Three groups of hypothetical applicants with different starting conditions and motivation are proposed for consideration. As a result of a professional, psychologically validated interview, the authors expect to be able to speculate on the further appropriateness and feasibility of studying these groups of young people. Thus, the authors conclude that the identified features must necessarily be taken into account not only by physicians, but also by educational psychologists when working with applicants.

The authors show that with the realization of this concept there appears the possibility of substantiating the system of socio-psychological training in various higher education institutions and conducting methodological recommendations for these classes at the stages of preparation for admission, admission and study in the university. Thus, the article develops the relationship between the concept of prediction and diagnostic methods at different stages of professional education.

Sociocultural self-identification of the individual as one of the goals of humanitarian education in a technical university
- Authors:
- A. A. Petrova
The article discusses the importance of cultural self-identification of young people and possible ways of its development during the period of study at a technical university. It should be taken into account that today's students are not only future professionals of applied branches of economy, but also the backbone and the main part of the Russian intelligentsia in several successive decades. The future way and lifestyle of modern youth, intellectual and ethical value choice will largely depend on the socio-cultural positions acquired during their student years.

Scientific knowledge and science education in the process of modern education
- Authors:
- B. Ya. Pukshanskii
The state of devastation, the collapse of former ideals and the lack of new ones have brought Russia to the point where many people began to believe only in miracles. One of such "miracles" appeared in the form of pseudoscience, which today is a well-organized network of professional falsifiers. Another serious problem threatening reason and science both in Russia and in many other civilized countries is the revival of paranormal beliefs - archaic superstitions and notions of magical consciousness of ancient ages. Astrologers and psychics? Occultists and shamans, magicians and sorcerers promoting mysticism, magic, divination and prophecy have widely penetrated the market of services, especially in the field of medicine, psychology and education.

- Authors:
- I. G. Rebeshchenkova
The theory of cognition is an important part of philosophy. Recently, the role of this theory is increasing in the process of training a specialist, in the environment of a humanistic university. This is due to the progress of knowledge, the connection of the theory of cognition with humanistic and anthropological problems, the formation of information society. Modern problems of epistemology are the problems of the evolution of knowledge, the prospects of its development in the future. The most important prospect is the development and introduction into all spheres of activity of biocomputers - new subjects of cognition - parts of a new reality. The inclusion of modern problems of epistemology in the course of philosophy is necessary to prepare the young generation for activity and life in a significantly changing environment.

Dynamical approach in describing the interaction of heavy nuclei
- Authors:
- A. T. Dyachenko
To describe the formation of secondary particles as a result of heavy ion collisions at medium energies, a model of nuclear hydrodynamics was used, taking into account the nonequilibrium equation of state. This model was used to represent two-differential cross sections of the formation of particles and other fragments. The model of hydrodynamics taking into account thermalization and the formation of a local warm region allows us to describe the experimental two-differential cross sections of the subthreshold birth of pions, kaons, and antiprotons in nuclear-nuclear collisions. This allows, in particular, to determine the parameters of the nuclear forces and the magnitude of the nuclear matter compression modulus.

Geosynergetic problems of nanospace and phase states of fossil coals and coalbed methane
- Authors:
- V. V. Kiryukov
- V. N. Novikova
This paper deals with the carbophos nanomedium, occupying the boundary region, but at the same time possessing its own features. Of particular importance is the rupture of atomic-molecular space with chemical processes and micro- and macro-space with mechanical processes. Metastability of the state of the open coal-gas system, detachment of nanocomponents, nanostructure and fractal properties are manifested at bifurcations in the linear-asymptotic type of development. In coherent processes it is manifested in gas dynamic phenomena of bursts, in stable processes - in stable gas evolution during coal metamorphism and metageneration. Prediction horizons, uncertainty of conceptual interpretations, entropic character of coal formation-metageneration processes are different aspects of coal nanospace as a real-defined and spatial-temporal category.

Methodological problems of distant investigation of astrophysical objects plasma
- Authors:
- A. S. Mustafaev
- A. P. Mezentsev
The electron distribution function in anisotropic plasma has been studied by probe method and Hanle magnetic polarization method. Moments of the anisotropic electron distribution function were measured in helium plasma - beam discharge, the rate constant of alignment decay for helium atoms in the 41D2 state as a result of collisions with charged particles was determined. A new method for diagnosing the anisotropic properties of inaccessible plasma objects has been experimentally tested; electron distribution functions, the degree of electron pressure anisotropy, and the alignment cross section of the total angular momentum of excited helium atoms in electron collisions have been measured. The advantage of the new method is the direct measurement of anisotropic parameters of inaccessible plasmas, the estimation of which was previously carried out only theoretically.

- Authors:
- A. S. Mustafaev
- A. P. Mezentsev
- V. L. Fedorov
A method for recovering the full electron velocity distribution function and its angular components in a plasma with an arbitrary degree of anisotropy has been developed. The method is based on the measurement of the second derivative of the probe current with respect to the potential for different orientations of a flat one-sided probe with respect to the plasma symmetry axis. The optimal angles of the probe orientation are determined and the number of probe orientations necessary to recover the angular components of the electron velocity distribution of a given rank is estimated. The operability of the proposed method for determining the electron velocity distribution in a plasma with an arbitrary degree of anisotropy is demonstrated in a model experiment.

- Authors:
- I. A. Odesskii
Many natural science studies do not take into account two interrelated fundamental trends - directionality and repeatability. In this connection, the author of the article puts forward the hypothesis that geological cycles should be characterized by a tendency to increase their duration. This is confirmed by large-scale variations in the duration of the established cycles, as well as by the analysis of Phanerozoic boreal transgressions on the territory of Russia.

Method for determination of nitrogen solubility in binary III-V systems
- Authors:
- I. I. Parfenova
A model has been developed to calculate the solubility of nitrogen in conventional binary III-V compounds. The model takes into account internal deformations due to relaxation of atoms and the statistical origin of alloys. It is shown that the dispersion of bond lengths in III-V-N solid solutions plays an important role and cannot be neglected. The solubility limit increases by more than three orders of magnitude if both sublattices relax to distances greater than the sixth nearest neighbor position.

Internal strains and structure of energy bands in Ill-N alloys
- Authors:
- I. I. Parfenova
We have investigated the influence of near-order on the electronic properties of III-V-N solutions. In nitride-containing solutions, the clustering of identical atoms as second neighbors leads to an increase in the stress energy and a strong decrease in the width of the forbidden zone. On the other hand, the electronic properties of GaInAs depend very weakly on the near-order. The reason for this is the localization of the wave function of the states of the zone edges around certain atoms.

Methodological specifics of calculation of electret transducers
- Authors:
- N. S. Pshchelko
Methodological problems of electret transducer calculation are discussed. It is shown that the electret transducer insert is too complicated object for modeling. Therefore, it is necessary to make some simplifying assumptions in the model. For example, the transducer membrane is assumed to have a dome-shape. Since the amplitude of membrane oscillations is small, the object under consideration is studied in the linear approximation. A method of calculating the sensitivity of the electret microphone depending on the frequency of oscillation, transducer geometry, voltage and charge of the electret, etc. is proposed. The deflection of the membrane under the action of electrostatic forces is taken into account. It is shown that this procedure leads to a relatively simple analytically feasible solution. Application of the procedure allows to develop nondestructive testing methods for electret microphones, to optimize the design of electret microphones, to use the design of electret transducer in the educational process, etc.

Dialectical relationship between intermolecular forces and their influence on the state of water
- Authors:
- Z. Z. Sharafutdinov
Dispersive forces are in antagonistic relations with chemical forces, which, in turn, can be in synergistic or antagonistic relations with forces of electrical nature. Due to the struggle and unity of these forces, inclusion compounds (embedding solutions, clathrates) exist in nature. The manifestation of the dialectical relationship of the three forces is most clearly realized in water. Water exists in nuclear ionic, molecular and metallic states. In liquid form, water exists as a dynamic inclusion solution, which is constantly formed and constantly destroyed.

Local self-government in the system of modern democracy
- Authors:
- V. N. Zavrazhin
Local self-government has become one of the most important social institutions of modern democracy. As a universal structure of civil society, local government has multi-purpose powers that can meet a number of pressing needs of the population, such as housing, social services and education. In addition, local government, by allowing ordinary citizens to participate in political life as councillors and providing them with the opportunity to participate in decision-making, plays an important role in legitimizing the existing political regime. Modern systems of self-government are based on the traditions and values of liberal democracy and social democracy. The values that the liberal tradition particularly associates with local self-government are freedom, participation and efficiency. The social democratic tradition holds and defends values such as equality and the right to welfare. Local government in modern democracy is placed in a contradictory position. The central state both needs and fears local self-governance.

- Authors:
- I. V. Trofimova
The article is devoted to the issue of the concept of mythological plot in the animated movie "The Lion King" produced by Walt Disney Studios. Its components are miraculous birth, acquisition of magical fragility, heroic deeds and trials, short-term death and rebirth, wisdom of rule and mystical death of the hero. The plot of The Lion King develops on the symbolic model of cosmogonic myth and heroic initiation. The hierarchy associated with the roles of the central characters and narrative persons is based on Egyptian myth (Osiris). The climax of the movie is the duel between the protagonist and his antagonist. In this conflict, the model of eschatological myth can be traced. The narrative artistic space of the movie and the heroics represent different aspects of mythological thinking.

Museum pedagogy as a strategy for teaching cultural studies in technical universities
- Authors:
- O. V. Bezzubova
The main problem of the article is the methodology of teaching the theory and history of culture in technical universities. Traditional teaching methods are currently ineffective and require a new approach. The main problems are a consequence of the negative attitude of students to the humanities and traditional methods of their teaching. We consider the theory of museum communication and mu-museum pedagogy to be the basis of an alternative approach. We believe that visual communication should become the main way of modern education, since modern multimedia allows applying the principles of museum pedagogy even without visiting museums.

Theme "Archaic Culture" in the course of cultural studies for students of technical universities
- Authors:
- S. A. Kirilenko
The article presents the principles of selection and arrangement of information on the topic "Primitive Culture" when teaching students of technical universities. This topic occupies the most important place in the cycle of lectures on philosophy and history of culture. Primitive culture is the first topic considered in the historical part of the course, so it is within the lecture on primitive culture that the teacher can and should show students how the realities of a particular culture can be considered on the basis of previously postulated theoretical principles. We believe it is appropriate that the lecture be based on the theory of anthropologist P. Radin. Radin noted that primitive culture is characterized by a pragmatic and realistic perception of life, and that magic and religious thinking are of a secondary nature. Taking into account this idea, we arrange the topics of the lecture on primitive culture along the axis "practice-mentality": from the description of the function of survival culture to the description of the function of comprehension.

Cultural studies in technical universities: unnecessary luxury or urgent necessity?
- Authors:
- L. K. Kruglova
In the conditions of scientific and technological progress, the importance of self-regulation mechanisms of social life generated by culture is increasing. The main role among them belongs to morality, because the relationship of morality to culture in general is similar to the relationship of culture to society: it is an element that determines the overall state of the system. For technical universities, the teaching of cultural theory is of great importance. The unprecedented technical power of mankind in our days can become not only dangerous, but also useful. Only an educated person who understands the principles of social communication and humanistic values can distinguish good from evil. Therefore, the study of cultural studies is a vital necessity for representatives of engineering disciplines.

The theory and history of culture is considered as a mediator providing the coincidence of professional and moral education, as it allows resolving the contradiction between specifically scientific and humanitarian educational traditions. From this point of view, seminars on theory and history of culture are seen as a dialog of students with different cultural traditions and value systems. The study of world cultural traditions in order to familiarize students with them is considered as the main condition for the formation of a creative personality capable of dialog with the bearers of different types of thinking and values.
