The article presents a theoretical generalization of analysis of the issue of mythological resources for constructing of personality’s experience, conditioned by a person's ability to cognize the world by means of symbolic forms. In line with psychological hermeneutics the discursive constructing of personality's experience is considered as a set of socio-psychological practices of building own identities by a person, which are based on assignment of norms and strategies of self-organization set up by culture; as integration of separate heterogeneous "discursive realities" of individual into a coherent whole by means of speech practices in process of personal generation of senses. The author proved that both generalizations of personality’s experience and adopted from outside “ready-made” socio-cultural concepts of mythological nature can act as conditions for new personal senses generation in the process of discursive constructing of experience. The article shows that resource for a myth as a volumetric context for actual being of a subject is its ability to fixate on a broad perspective, which in turn leads to comprehension of personality's scope of opportunities, its life horizon. It is emphasized that the significance of a myth in the process of constructing of personality’s experience is conditioned by its main psychological functions, which contribute to generation and retention of integrity of world’s image by a personality in its subjective life’s area, to creation of ideals and patterns of its potential life-fulfillments, to interruption of causal determination of life events, to removal of the issue of motivation and search for a sense.

Since Spring 1983, the Pic du Midi and Toulouse Observatory has put the Gentilly 60-cm telescope at the disposal of amateurs. There was an initial experimental trial in 1982, and an amateur Programme Committee was set up in 1983. The “T.60 Association” took over the whole of the operation in 1984. So far, five hundred different amateur astronomers have used the equipment. The prime advantage of the T.60 is its site at the Pic du Midi, 2877 m altitude, one of the best observing sites in the world. By giving new facilities to amateurs, the T.60 offers considerable scientific and educational rewards. Work that has already been carried out includes: determination of H-R diagrams of faint clusters, spectra of planetary nebulae, polarimetric and interferometric studies of nebulae, photoelectric and visual studies of variable stars, research into the chemical composition of faint stars, and observations of mutual phenomena of Jupiter’s satellites.

Abstract. The 100th anniversary of the Liverpool Tidal Institute (LTI) was celebrated during 2019. One aspect of tidal science for which the LTI acquired a worldwide reputation was the development and use of tide prediction machines (TPMs). The TPM was invented in the late 19th century, but most of them were made in the first half of the 20th century, up until the time that the advent of digital computers consigned them to museums. This paper describes the basic principles of a TPM, reviews how many were constructed around the world and discusses the method devised by Arthur Doodson at the LTI for the determination of harmonic tidal constants from tide gauge data. These constants were required in order to set up the TPMs for predicting the heights and times of the tides. Although only 3 of the 30-odd TPMs constructed were employed in operational tidal prediction at the LTI, Doodson was responsible for the design and oversight of the manufacture of several others. The paper demonstrates how the UK, and the LTI and Doodson in particular, played a central role in this area of tidal science.

After potato, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the world?s second-largest vegetable crop. More than 80% of tomato consumption comes from processed products such as ketchup, tomato juice, pickled tomatoes, sauces, paste, pur?e. Samples of mild ketchup from two different manufacturers (A and B) were selected for the analysis of the content of natural food colors E160a and E160d. Using a UV-Vis spectrophotometric method and Lambert-Beer law, a system of two linear equations with two unknowns was set up, which was used to determine the concentrations of colors E160a and E160d. The antioxidant capacity of the two selected samples was determined using the DPPH assay. The obtained results indicated that the content of colors E160a and E160d was higher in the sample of ketchup B. Also, the DPPH assay showed that the sample of ketchup B had a higher antioxidant capacity.

Elements of mythical thinking, as archaeological types, always become the center of the researchers’ attention. But there are still such problems in this area, so that are of scientific interest. There are issues among them that have a direct appeal to the philosophical thinking. The observation of striking similarities among myths of the world people is of this kind. These are plot similarities. Even the mythical plots of nations located in a remote geography quite far from one another contain elements and images similar to each other. The internal mechanism of mythical subjects’ self-organization resuscitates the folklore and gives life to it at any time. The folklore becomes active only in a person’s life. Particular people renew forms existing for centuries on the improvisation basis. Thus one can get rid of monotony and a tradition gets a new breath in the performance of each person as well. The tradition is kept, but expressed by a new rhythm and breath. And it shows that myths always live and go through centuries in a new improvisation. In Turkish provinces everybody knows the Khizir’s Spirit as a cradle song. It is the symbol of the Holiness from its original date. Khizir- a thousand year old Turk fondles his love by the language of the lullaby and bayaties.He has made a tale of his Memory and set up a great deal of saga for himself. In this case the evaluation of mythological plots always maintains its topicality as one of the important terms.

The article summarizes the main approaches in the definition of business valuation the economic entity. In the process of business valuation, taking into account the risks of financial and economic activities necessary to obtain information on what stage the owner implements the business will receive income. The most difficult task is the impossibility of accurate prediction in determining the level of income and the determination of a discount rate capitalization of future incomes due to the instability of the economy, both in the country and around the world.

A method is presented for determining influent readily biodegradable substrate concentration (SS). The method is based on three different respiration rates, which can be measured with a continuous respiration meter which is operated in a cyclic way. Within the respiration meter nitrification is inhibited through the addition of ATU. Simulations were used to develop the respirometry set-up and decide upon the experimental design. The method was tested as part of a large measurement programme executed at a full-scale plant. The proposed respirometry set-up has been shown to be suitable for a semi-on-line determination of an influent SS which is fully based on the IAWQ #1 vision of the activated sludge process. The YH and the KS play a major role in the principle, and should be measured directly from the process.

A FIA-FAAS apparatus containing a six-channel sorption equipment with five 3 x 26 mm microcolumns packed with Spheron Oxin 1 000, Ostsorb Oxin and Ostsorb DTTA was set up. Combined with sorption from 0.002M acetate buffer at pH 4.2 and desorption with 2M-HCl, copper can be determined at concentrations up to 100, 150 and 200 μg l-1, respectively. For sample and eluent flow rates of 5.0 and 4.0 ml min-1, respectively, and a sample injection time of 5 min, the limit of copper determination is LQ = 0.3 μg l-1, repeatability sr is better than 2% and recovery is R = 100 ± 2%. The enrichment factor is on the order of 102 and is a linear function of time (volume) of sample injection up to 5 min and of the sample injection flow rate up to 11 ml min-1 for Spheron Oxin 1 000 and Ostsorb DTTA. For times of sorption of 60 and 300 s, the sampling frequency is 70 and 35 samples/h, respectively. The parameters of the FIA-FAAS determination (acetylene-air flame) are comparable to or better than those achieved by ETA AAS. The method was applied to the determination of traces of copper in high-purity water.

It was shown that the sampling loop, detector and connecting elements in the chromatographic set-up for determination of transport parameters by the dynamic method significantly influence the response peaks from columns packed with porous or nonporous particles. A method, based on the use of convolution theorem, was developed which can take these effects into account. The applicability of this method was demonstrated on the case of axial dispersion in a single-pellet-string column (SPSR) packed with nonporous particles. It is possible to handle also responses from columns packed with porous particles by a similar procedure.

In the Greek Classical period, the symposium—the social gathering at which male citizens gathered to drink wine and engage in conversation—was held in a room called the andron. From couches set up around the perimeter of the andron, symposiasts looked inward to the room’s center, which often was decorated with a pebble mosaic floor. These mosaics provided visual treats for the guests, presenting them with images of mythological scenes, exotic flora, dangerous beasts, hunting parties, or the specter of Dionysos, the god of wine, riding in his chariot or on the back of a panther. This book takes as its subject these mosaics and the context of their viewing. Relying on discourses in the sociology and anthropology of space, it argues that the andron’s mosaic imagery actively contributed to a complex, metaphorical experience of the symposium. In combination with the ritualized circling of the wine cup from couch to couch around the room and the physiological reaction to wine, the images of mosaic floors called to mind other images, spaces, or experiences, and, in doing so, prompted drinkers to reimagine the symposium as another kind of event—a nautical voyage, a journey to a foreign land, the circling heavens or a choral dance, or the luxury of an abundant past. Such spatial metaphors helped to forge the intimate bonds of friendship that are the ideal result of the symposium and that make up the political and social fabric of the Greek polis.
