Hypogene uytenbogaardtite, acanthite, and native gold parageneses have been revealed at the epithermal Yunoe gold-silver deposit, Magadan Region, Russia. Thermodynamic calculations in the system Si-Al-Mg-Ca-Na-K-Fe-Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Au-S-C-Cl-H₂O were carried out at 25-400 °C and 1-1000 bars to elucidate the role of hydrothermal solutions in the formation of gold and silver sulfides. Several most probable scenarios for ore-forming processes in the deposit are considered: (1) interaction between cold and heated meteoric waters percolating along cracks from surface to depth and reacting with the host rock-rhyolite; (2) evolution of ascending postmagmatic fluid resulting in chloride-carbonic acid solution, which interacts with rhyolite at 100-400 °C; (3) stepwise cooling of hydrothermal ore-bearing solutions; (4) rapid cooling of ore-bearing hydrotherms on their mixing with cold surface waters. Rhyolite with Pb, Zn, Cu, Cl, S, Ag, and Au clarke contents was taken as an initial host rock. Calculations by model 3 showed the possible formation of uytenbogaardtite and petrovskaite at low-temperature stages. Gold and silver sulfides can be deposited during the mixing of ore-bearing acid chloride-carbonic acid hydrothermal solutions with surface alkaline waters.

The factors determining the REE distribution in natural hydrothermal systems are studied by a numerical experiment. The behavior of REE is examined based on the composition of ore-bearing hydrothermal solutions and the parameters of ore formation processes at different fluorite deposits. These data were obtained in studies of fluid inclusions. Some regularities of the REE behavior during the formation of fluorite deposits have been revealed. It is shown that the REE distribution in fluorites is related mainly to changes in the composition of mineral-producing fluid solution.

The first detailed isotope-geochemical study of carbonate deposits has been performed in the Lower Famennian stratotype section of the northwestern Kuznetsk Basin (Kosoy Utyos), which was localized in the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere in the Late Devonian. The δ¹³ C_карб, δ¹³ C_орг and δ¹⁸ variation curves were constructed for the section deposits. Geochemical and petrographic studies of carbonates allowed allocation of samples that underwent postsedimentation alteration and exclude them from further interpretation. Compared with coeval sections in the other world's regions, the Kosoy Utyos section is characterized by higher δ¹³ C_carb values, up to 5.4 ‰, whereas the maximum value in subequatorial area sections is 4 ‰. The isotope shift amplitude of the studied section reaches 4.6 ‰, which is 1.5 ‰ higher than those in other regions. The δ¹⁸O values are 3 ‰ lower than the ones of the world's coeval sections. The results obtained show that δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O variation trends differ from those of coeval subequatorial sections. The high shift amplitude and maximum δ¹³ C_carb values in the Kosoy Utyos section are due to the shallow-water carbonate sedimentation environments on the Siberian continental shelf and, probably, the lower temperatures of waters in the middle latitudes as compared with the subequatorial areas.

Cenozoic continental rifting in southern East Siberia and northern Mongolia has been associated with subsidence and broadening of rift basins at the account of their mountain borders. This neotectonic trend is, however, superposed with continuous or periodic tectonic inversions in which the basin floor may uplift while marginal fault steps and saddles between basins may subside. Cenozoic geomorphic inversions are expressed in changes of river flow out of Lake Baikal.

A nonlocal dynamic model of petroleum formation is used to explore possible causes and consequences of the nonlinear behavior of large petroleum systems. As a result of this nonlinearity, migration and accumulation of oil starts only after hydrocarbons in a reservoir reach a threshold amount. Significant differences in the amount of in-place resources in macroscopically similar petroleum systems may be associated with minor random changes in initial conditions.

The available data on the composition of the pyrolysis products of kerogen from the Mesozoic carbonaceous strata of the Russian Plate evidence that changes in the contents of total organic carbon (TOC) lead to a regular change of the mechanisms of organic-matter (OM) conservation in sediments. Each mechanism prevails for particular TOC contents. The initial increase in the TOC content of rocks is accounted for by the fact that the higher is the biologic productivity of the basin, the higher is the portion of nonmineralized organic matter. This is due mainly to the mechanism of selective accumulation of the most stable biochemical components such as algaenan. The appearance of H₂S first in the pore waters of sediment and then in the water column increases the degree of preservation of initial OM at the expense of its sulfurization. This process runs first in the lipid and then in the carbohydrate fractions of initial OM.

New data on soft-sediment deformation in Late Pleistocene and Holocene deposits of the northwestern Kola Peninsula (Pechenga River valley) are reported and analyzed in terms of paleoseismicity implications. Soft-sediment deformation is assigned to paleoseismic triggers on the basis of special criteria. One sedimentary section in the Pechenga valley bears signature of several seismic events at the Late Pleistocene-Holocene boundary, constrained by radiocarbon dates. According to the morphology, sizes, and types of seismites, the earthquakes had an MSK-64 intensity at least VI-VII. The observed earthquake-induced deformation may be associated with tectonic subsidence of the Pechenga valley block.

The paper is dedicated to the problem of formation of informational competency of the students, studying in part-time and distance courses. It presents the analysis of papers, concerning definition of the following concepts: «competence», «competency», «informational competence», and problems of the distance learning. Within this context, the importance of the problem of forming the informational competency of the students is described. The role of distance education in forming the informational competency is also considered. The author examines main ideas of the competence approach, its importance apart of knowledge-reference approach. This paper indicates the benefits of introducing the distance training IT-studying elements to the part-time educational form.

In given clause questions of becoming of mass-media are considered, to be resulted the philosophical analysis of postmodernist displays of communication process. Alongside with it theories of foreign philosophers are resulted, whose works have made base in studying mass-media. The object of scientific research of mass-media, in particular the information and a society is considered. What characteristics in interaction of a society and an information stream.

In the article there is considered the activity of the governing institution, directed to organization of the mass communication interaction, which is realized on the level of everyday routine professional practices, analysis of the content of the mass communication facilities, determination of the informational risks and working out the reaction efforts, development of complex media-plans, establishing connections with the expert communities and the proponents of certain views in order to engage the citizens into realization of the strategic socio-political and economical programs.
Sociological examination is understood not as an element of governing influence on the mass communication processes but rather as a system of diagnostic and analytical procedures, providing effective interaction between the power and the socio-political subjects. The author proposes a classification and some stages of application of the diagnostic procedures for the improvement of the efficiency of interaction between the governing institution and the media.

A Simple Paradox and A Stark Perspective are presented in this paper. The simple paradox is that we have called many ancient philosophers 'wise' and 'great' but we have largely ignored or reversed their wisdoms. Three of the 'greats' who have lasted longest are Lao Tse, Socrates/Plato and Jesus/his authors. All three sources advocated 'not knowing', more than once. Christian, Rational, Intellectual Philosophers have reversed that spirit or attitude. If the 'greats' were right and wise, then we - Christ-ian-based, Rationalist, Intellectual Philosophers - have almost everything at least half wrong: upside down ("The first shall be last." Top people are the bottom. Power tends to corrupt.), back to front (mirror reversed. We need to say "And vice versa,"and "Nohow, contrarywise" to most of our most sacred 'cow' beliefs and attitudes." We also have things inside out (our positivist focus on superficial, surface-observe-able, literal meanings and evidence is mistaken - less than half the truth and the less important and powerful half). All the 'greats' warned us against vanity and thinking we know, in vain.
The stark perspective, more and more evident every day in global warming and our mistaken annihilating of millions of species (especially rain-forests), presents us with a predicament. We must believe that impossible measures can and must be taken if we are not to decimate or possibly annihilate our own interdependent family of life-kind in this century. Rain needs rainforests; rainforests need rain. We need both and more.
I list only a few of the 'impossibles' which we have to make possible … or else …

Today I invite you to focus your attention on the following questions.  Given the dogmatism and exclusivity of many forms of religious belief, how can the religious experiences of our students be liberated so that they can travel along broader avenues?  Given the fact that we are now living in what has for better or worse come to be known as a global village, how can we help our students assess whether some forms of religious belief are better adapted than others to these new circumstances?  Is it possible for us and our fellow global citizens, despite our many individual and cultural differences, to share a common faith?  If so, what form would that type of faith take?  And how can we help our students develop the tools they will need to come to terms with these questions, which are all the more difficult because they are both intensely personal and profoundly public?

The specific character of modern administrative reforms in German is that these reforms are realized with a large-scale constitutional reform of federalism. The constitutional reform influences to the central administrative authorities directly. The main course of reforms includes such spheres as legislation, civil service, budget and incomes distribution, education, preservation of the environment, and struggle against terrorism.
The distinctive feature of reforms is the change of local government system on the basis of the «new managerism» strategy and democracy of participation.

The purpose of the article is to show the significance of semantic-pragmatic aspects in the research of language of science. The author analyses the systematization of life's logic of scientific cognition, and also the phenomena of intelligence, signs as the language objects having very complicated structure. Formal logic alone isn't capable to reflect it. The dynamics of language of science is considered in the logical aspect, proceeding from inconsistency to contraposition and then to integration.

The article considers the peculiarities of the hermeneutical approach to the educational processes. The author describes the meaning of the process of education in forming person's values and describes experience and feelings as the basic mechanism of the process of education. The author distinguishes pupil's personal experience as an important component of the educational process, substantiates the idea that education has to open and develop pupil's personal experience, and defines the importance of the sense creation in the process of education. The author distinguishes some cardinal components of organization of the processes of education and upbringing on the basis of hermeneutic.

The article is devoted to the research of the reflection of temporal relations in language within the framework of historical background of the "time" notion and its language forms. A linguistic problem connected with the "time" category is revealed through determining the means of nomination of this category and description of the semantic complex embodied in language signs. The submitted work is based on etymological researches of the concept of "time". The etymological material presented in this work from different languages confirms that the base for nomination of ancient views of time lying beyond vision and perception was associated with simple physical actions performed in space.

The article reviews the contributions of the domestic research, conducted in the context of the Teplov - Nebylitsyn school of differential psychology, into the development of contemporary problems of individual differences in the human language ability.   The role of evaluation of qualitative characteristics of language abilities in the linguo-didactic aspect of development of a student's language personality is highlighted. The thesis of individual conditionality of association as a minimal unit of text generation is emphasized.   Some psychological diagnostics data on the individual differences in the teenagers' language ability based on the analysis of the ratio of different predication tactics by the associative experiment method are presented.

In the article, the notion of hypothetical knowledge is thoroughly examined with the help of the category of the possible.  The category of the possible is one of the categories, allowing the researcher to go beyond the reality and generate hypothetical knowledge. The possible is defined as a form of cognition. The author provides a brief historical outlook of the category of the possible as well as dwells upon philosophers' views about this category and its role in the cognition of reality. The importance of the possible is admitted in the modern philosophy where there is no chance to state the truth of any theory. There is considered the notion of possible worlds, which is necessary to interpret the objects of reality. Possible worlds give the direction of events.

The purpose of the article is to bring attention to the function of language as an instrument of interpersonal translation of the consciousness contents; that is, a sign system in various modifications such as colloquial speech, writing, artificial languages of gesticulation and facial gestures.  They are considered and studied as the means of dialogue between the people in the direct and mediate forms.

The problem of the value of the person in the philosophy of management is discussed in the article. Admitting the person as being the main value of the contemporary social organization makes it necessary that the manager creates motivation in it. This motivation will help to satisfy different workers' requirements while the efficiency of the work is high. Much attention is paid to the satisfaction of the workers with the process of the work and to the problem of satisfaction and non-satisfaction.  The author proves that the manager who admits the value of the person must study the workers' needs, which determine their motivation to work, make it possible to satisfy these needs and also find and maintain the factors that influence the level of satisfaction, in spite of a contradiction between the value of the person and the value of effectiveness of the organization activity.

In the article the author defines the elements of a new outlook. Being realized in the values and aims of modern education, these elements are called to provide a new quality of professionalism, culture and morals of the people having higher education. Discussing the problems of «internal values», their importance for the young generation, the author follows the pragmatic reference points. On the basis of sociological and philosophical researches (Vasiljev V.V., Shukshunov V. E., Romm T.A.) on self-actualization problems, the author makes a conclusion that new generation is in the situation when young people have to rely only on their abilities and talents. Educational practice of domestic and foreign experience is also discussed in the article. The author considers the structure features of the person's creative culture and puts forward some suggestions concerning the principles of a person-creator formation. These principles are based on such personal values as realism, system approach, rationality, differentiability and controllability.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the particularities of the creative self-realization of pupils in the research activity. There are reflections in the article about the philosophical premises of the domestic theory of the education of the research activity in the context of the creative self-development of the person. It is substantiated that the influence of the rural social space on the system of factors promoting creative self-realization of pupils in the exploratory activity can be both positive and negative.

In the conditions of aggravation of global problems the necessity becomes more urgent of comprehension of the value bases of life of the person. The psychological problem of essence of the value orientations of the person is caused today by public need of theoretical understanding of the laws of formation of spiritually-moral goals and morally-valuable orientations on the basis of which the person builds the attitudes towards the world and performs the acts.

In the conditions of growth and deepening of the knowledge about human being, it is necessary to study the issues concerning the formation of an integral conception of the developing upbringing. A very important role is played here by the philosophy of upbringing as an inalienable part of the philosophy of education, which is becoming more and more pivotal within the entire complex of knowledge about human being. The author of the article builds upon the understanding of "upbringing" as a process of goal-oriented influence on the pupil, the purpose of which is accumulation of the necessary for life social experience and formation the accepted by the society system of values of the person.  The modern philosophy of upbringing forms the goals of upbringing and raises the question about the relation between the values of upbringing and the values of culture. This determines a new image of human being which turns out to be adequate to the challenges of the third millennium.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the definition of "social creativity". The essence of social creativity, its basic procedural characteristics are considered in the article. The author reveals the criteria and indicators of social creativity, substantiates the urgency of formation of socially-creative personality of the prospective social worker in the course of professional training, and describes the pedagogical conditions which are necessary for that.

The purpose of the article is to show that education in present condition must change the former concentration of the main efforts of the young specialist on the professional activity only. The author notes that the purpose of life is often substituted by the purpose of professional activity. Realization of the purposes of life, which exceed professional aspiration, is a main way of shaping independence. This or that orientation of the person on the purpose of human existence is reflected in consciousness in minimum or complete spiritual independence. The author introduces the notion of "subjective-personal problem", within the framework of which he studies the sources of self-movement of consciousness.

In the modern world upbringing is becoming the main integrative factor and condition of person's development; whereas the integration processes in the systems of upbringing realize the functions concerning mastering the world culture, translation of the social and individual experience, foster the development of an integral world outlook based on the principles of cosmic humanism, and organize humanity into a unified inter-connected system. The global problems, in their essence, are connected with the fate of the entire humanity: they require goal-oriented coordinated actions and unification of efforts of the majority of the planet population; they are an objective factor of the world development and cannot be ignored while forming modern system of upbringing.

The article is devoted to the philosophical and methodological aspects of the problem of education in the context of the spiritually-intellectual becoming and development of the personality of the specialist. The meaning of education consists in creation of subjective life and social relations. A leading role is played by spiritual creation. Creation as a semantic characteristic of the classic university is a basis of working out the conceptual positions of its development in the conditions of constantly updated information field of the modern social reality.

There is discussed in the article the problem of communication modeling and the definition of the notional content of communication. The authors analyze, from the viewpoint of general psychology, various models of communication. The analysis is based mainly on foreign literature. The authors indicate ambiguity of the notional content of communication and propose using modeling as the research method, which allows interpreting communication both as a social and psychological phenomenon, on one hand, and as a process, on the other.

The purpose of the article is the philosophical substantiation of the possibility of individuality in the reproductive activity.  The author has analyzed such concepts as individuality, individualization, individuation, revealed their logical connections with such categories as opportunity, reality, and activity. In the article, the biological, cultural and social preconditions of individualization, defining formation and development of various types of technics, are considered. The author distinguishes the intrinsic characteristics of technical activity, displaying the individual creativity in various forms and at different levels.

The article is devoted to the problem of determining the logical-axiological foundations of psychological development, and distinguishing ontological categories of modern scientific knowledge of the post-nonclassical period. There is the necessity to change the binary system of analysis to a triadic one. There is presented a historical description of the development of the systems of analysis from binary to triadic; the future dynamic forecasts are mentioned. The existing triadic analysis systems in different fields of science, including psychology, are described. On the basis of the triadic paradigm a mental development model is proposed, where as the units of analysis there are taken regulatory, areal, and affective factors which are actualized in the observable psychological phenomena.

In this article the problem of envy is discussed. The structure of inner personal conflict as the result of envy is analyzed.  Different kinds of high and low forms of psychological defense are described.

In article the question of interrelation between the concepts of diagnostics of understanding and diagnostics of the quality of training is considered. The basic criteria of the quality of training are mental and functional changes in activity, dialogue and consciousness which result from realization of the educational program. One of the basic functions of diagnostics is the quality control of the process of training. The essence of components of diagnostics of understanding mathematical material is revealed in the description of the stages of diagnostic activity. At its closing stage the diagnostics in the form of description of the condition of diagnostics' object is made. The diagnostics of pupils' understanding of the offered mathematical material allows making a decision on an estimation of level of understanding and introducing corrective amendments into the technology of training.

Article purpose - consideration of the psychological reasons of motivational behaviour of the person. The main theme of article is the mentality of the person arisen as a regulator of relations of an organism and environment. The general characteristic of the presented work consists in research of the declared theme of article from the different points of view.
Thoughts are put in article basis that the motive, being the reason of all acts of the person is defined by psychology need, requirement thanks to which, human life gets purposefulness. Conclusion: the motivation reason is concluded not only in feelings, but also in each link of process of reflexion as it always comprises also an incentive component.

The article describes a model of formation of the dialogue experience of the Russian-speaking pupils in the conditions of a poly-cultural educational environment. The author substantiates the necessity of creating the "School of ethno-cultural dialogue" experimental project, describes the meaning of the "dialogue competence", and shows the levels of readiness for ethno-cultural dialogue and the stages of formation of the dialogue experience.

Today the philosophy of culture acts as the following:  1. Methodology of systematic humanitarian knowledge. 2. Part of cognitive process. 3. Axiology of the value-related behavior and personality orientation. 4. Semantic and attitudinal universalia as well as aggregate forms of human activity. Viewing the traditional culture as a pedagogical system in this light will serve education practice substantiated by culture-based approach through modeling educational ambience in the traditions of the Russian culture School. Implementing this Idea requires an ethno-cultural education standard, a procedure allowing us to measure the results of the content mastering as expressed in social and socio-cultural student's competency.

In the article, the influence of the current global transformations on the development of the modern Russian university is shown. The article discusses some key issues concerning communicative trends in modern culture and changes in the activities of universities which contribute to implementation of new educational technologies and communicative strategies in higher education. The key competences of the modern Russian university teacher are defined. A competence model of the teacher's work in the international scientific and educational space is examined.

The article is devoted to the problem of the main social and cultural orienting points in the modern world. The author analyzes social and cultural values as the basis of person's life, the way they must be reflected in the «person of culture» model in modern education. The author gives a characteristic of the main traits of the modern «person of culture». The main idea of the article is that there is needed a content-analysis of the «person of culture» model as the moral basis of not only modern education but the world as a whole.

The processes of social partnership as innovative forms of collective business thinking and activity, requiring explanation, are considered in the present article. The significance and content of the theme are specified by the changes of cooperation formats between economic entities of various managerial and legal forms and, by changes of the paradigm of the system of vocational training of the youth and by development of legislative and legal sphere at the federal and regional levels. The basis of the work is a description of the processes of development of social partnership within modern municipal education.

There are considered in the article the modern problems of realization of the upbringing potential of traditional culture. These problems are faced by the teachers of vocational and pre-school education. There are presented some innovational conditions of applying the traditional forms and methods of upbringing of the early age children with the help of traditional culture. There are also shown the results of theoretical substantiation and practical activity connected with systemic introduction of a culture-centered (ethno-pedagogical) orientation into the practice of the institutions of vocational education.  Urgency and importance of the educational model, realizing this direction, are revealed through the philosophical approach to formation of adequate attitude towards the native culture, ethnic identification, tolerant inter-ethnic and interfamilial relations.
