30. REGIONAL CULTURE

A characteristic feature of regional cultures is that each of them exists in a certain geographical area. The scale of the area of regional culture can be very different. Regional cultures of a smaller scale may be included in regional cultures of a larger scale.

Regional cultures, as a rule, are a conglomeration of various cultures created by several peoples inhabiting the region. The presence of similar natural living conditions in this area and territorial ties ensure the kinship between the cultures of the peoples living next to each other. The area of regional culture can narrow or expand.

The largest regions of the Earth, in which cultures that differ significantly from each other historically, are West and East, North and South. But this division is extremely arbitrary, since within the framework of these mega-regions, cultures are heterogeneous. For example, in the East there is a huge variety of regional cultures (the Arab East, India, China, etc.).

The West is most often presented as a series of changing eras: classical Hellenic culture; Hellenistic-Roman culture; Romano-Germanic culture of the Christian Middle Ages, new European culture.

For a long time, the difference between Eastern and Western cultures was seen in the fact that the East simply lagged behind the West in its cultural development. At present, this view is being overcome. It is becoming recognized that the development of culture in different regions proceeds simultaneously, but in different ways.

It is also difficult to clearly define the boundaries between North and South. For example, the South, which refers to the socio-cultural world of the peoples of the subtropical zone, primarily the African continent, is also heterogeneous.

In African states that emerged on the site of former colonies, it is becoming increasingly common negritude - the direction of social thought, asserting the special role of Negro culture in the development of mankind.

Negro culture within the framework of this trend seems to be the antipode of the culture of the white peoples of the North. The influence of African culture has enriched the arts of the North, especially music and dance. African culture was one of the sources of expressionism and cubism in painting.

Regionally, there may be Romance, Turkic, Latin American and other cultures.

These cultures are also quite arbitrary, and the degree of closeness between them may be different.

Regional community - a category less defined and not as homogeneous as, for example, national culture.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Military electronics with DNA marking 30.12.2012

The Defense Logistics Agency of the Pentagon (DLA) has issued a mandatory DNA labeling requirement for certain electronic components. First of all, this concerns military electronics for expensive and strategically important equipment, for example, relay satellites, control systems on ships, aircraft, missiles, etc. The DLA document indicates that DNA marking should be used by companies that want to bid on certain military contracts.

In the US, the problem of counterfeit electronics is very acute. Several investigations over the past and current years have unearthed a large amount of counterfeit electronics in US high-tech equipment, which were sold under the guise of branded certified products. Sometimes these were just old unreliable microcircuits with replaced markings, and in some cases new chips of unknown origin, in which "bookmarks" could be placed that disable military equipment.

To solve this problem, the US military plans to use DNA marking. This technology involves stitching specific pieces of plant DNA in a specific order using a specific process. If you don't have the right key and the technology, you won't be able to copy the DNA markings and sell counterfeit electronics. Thus, many underground semi-handicraft workshops for "laundering" microcircuits will no longer be able to produce counterfeit military products.

Despite the importance of this DLA decision, some special purpose electronics manufacturers point out the problems of DNA labeling. For example, Lansdale Semiconductor President Dale Lillard, JEDEC JC-13.2 Chairman Lee Mathiesen, and Rochester Electronics Director of Engineering Dan Days note that top-down DNA labeling remains a "dark horse" for them. There are also doubts that DNA marking will be effective in the fight against counterfeiting - the US government has not yet provided any information about the reliability of this technique. In particular, it is not entirely clear how to deal with the production of counterfeit products from old decommissioned microcircuits - after all, they will retain the "legitimate" DNA marking.

Another concern is related to the effectiveness of DNA labeling. The fact is that it only indicates who added the DNA tag, but does not give any guarantees on the characteristics of the product or its proper storage.
