The Revolution

Straipsnyje nagrinėjama, kokią įtaką filosofijos raidai turėjo XVII a. mokslo revoliucija, daugiausia dėmesio skiriant jos padariniams reinterpretuojant filosofijos ir mokslo santykį. Argumentuojama, kad filosofijos, visų pirma metafizikos ir mokslo santykį transformavo aristoteliškosios mokslo plėtotės programos pakeitimas pitagoriškąja – matematizuotos eksperimentinės gamtotyros atsiradimas leido griežčiau atskirti fiziką nuo metafizikos. Specialiųjų mokslų ir metafizikos tikslų, metodų ir nagrinėjamų problemų pobūdžio supriešinimas sudarė pagrindą atsirasti pozityvistiniams filosofijos pertvarkymo į specialųjį mokslą projektams. Straipsnis baigiamas išvada, kad mokslas, jau XVII amžiuje ėmęs virsti intelektualine jėga, pranokstančia filosofiją pagal reikšmę ir įtaką, privertė filosofiją ir filosofus užimti vienokią ar kitokią poziciją savo atžvilgiu. Ši pozicija iš esmės nulemia tiek filosofavimo būdų spektrą, tiek skirtingų filosofavimo būdų santykį. Patys filosofai nebūtinai šią poziciją aiškiai reflektuoja ir fiksuoja, bet ji visada yra tam tikro filosofavimo būdo pasirinkimo pagrindas.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: Newtonas, Hume’as, metafizika, pozityvizmas. PHILOSOPHY AND THE 17TH CENTURY SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONEvaldas Nekrašas Summary The paper deals with the issue of the impact of the 17th century scientific revolution upon the development of philosophy. The main focus is relation between science and philosophy and effects of the revolution on the interpretation of that relation. The author argues that the relation between metaphysics and science has been transformed due to the replacement of the Aristotelian programme of the development of science by the Pythagorean one. The contraposition of aims, methods and problems characteristic of special science to those typical of metaphysics created preconditions for bringing forward the positivist schemes of the transformation of philosophy into one or another special science. The paper ends with the conclusion that science which already in the 17th century became an intellectual power excelling philosophy in significance and influence forced philosophy and philosophers to take a specific stance on it. This stance determines the spectrum of different ways of doing philosophy and their relation to each other. Some philosophers do not reflect the stance on science taken by them. But this stance always affects the choice of ways of doing philosophy.Keywords: Newton, Hume, metaphysics, positivism.

In this project, high school students (aged 16-17) tested various protocols of experiments in nanotechnology and evaluated them whether such experiments could also be performed by middle school students (aged 11-15) or even elementary school students (aged 6-10). Protocols pre-selected and provided by the instructing team consisting of Sciencetainment and the Department of Biosciences, University of Salzburg were applied. Laboratory techniques such as thin-layer chromatography, measuring the contact angle by high-resolution 3D microscopy and analyzing and constructing surface layers represented some of the experiments performed. Moreover, students produced short video clips and images and designed photo-collages out of microscopic and electron microscopic pictures. Hence, the school students acquired a number of soft skills during this special science day.

Well, the data process is created by the need to process the data more quickly and efficiently since the manual process that was carried out no longer met the expectations of people and companies, for this reason the data process arises automatic. In an automatic data process, the computer has different physical elements that allow it to carry out these same processes. That is, practically the speed of operation of the system is limited by human control. The entry by electromechanical type machines, as well as the exit, have a higher operating speed than the conventional one (until then this was achieved by tachy-typing). We can define data processing as the technique of converting data into information by any means, whether manual or automatic. Manual data processing is the technique of converting data into information using tools such as pencil, pens, typewriters, etc. The automatic data process within its objectives is the technique of converting data into information using appropriate methods, procedures and equipment for this purpose; such as interviews, surveys, computer. Automatic data processing came to renew the world, creating a special science for its study, such as computer science.
