    В статье представлены историко-литературные и психологические мотивировки жизнетворческих установок Я.П. Полонского как в творчестве, так и в «литературной» биографии. Основополагающим является вопрос о роли событийно-биографического фактора в художественном творчестве, в частности, взаимозависимости характера лирического героя и литературной личности автора, и шире – ретроспективного конструирования историко-литературного образа. Внимание сконцентрировано на зрелом периоде творчества Я.П. Полонского (1870 – 1890-е годы).В статті наведені історико-літературні та психологічні мотивування життєтворчих настанов Я.П. Полонського як у творчості, так і в «літературній» біографії. Головним є питання про роль дієво-біографічного чинника в художній творчості, зокрема, взаємозалежності характеру ліричного героя та літературної особистості автора, і більш широко – ретроспективного конструювання історико-літературного образу. Увага сконцентрована на зрілому періоді творчості Я.П. Полонського (1870 – 1890-і роки).The article deals with the historical-literary and psychological motivations of Y.P. Polonsky’s lifecreation attitudes in his works as well as in his «literary» biography. The fundamental issue is the role of event and biographical factor in artistic creation, in particular, the nature of the interdependence of the lyrical and literary personality of the author, and in the broader meaning – a retrospective construction of historical and literary image. The attention is focused on the mature period of Y.P. Polonsky’s creativity (1870 – 1890s), when the artistic image of the poet is recognizable, has well-established features, and his literary reputation is undeniable. However, the peculiarity of the creative method of Y.P. Polonsky's mature period is «experiencing the past». The reflective nature of his work is obvious («To I.S. Turgenev», 1879 (under the title «Old message»); «At the door», 1888). Hence the frequency of the motives of previous years in Y.P. Polonsky’s lyrics, united by the themes of love, dreams, sleep and night, enjoying the natural world. Substantial transformation is associated with the evolution of the lyrical hero, who is the same age as the poet. Another process is also emphasized «the struggle of poetry and prose» (Y.I. Eichenwald) in Y.P. Polonsky’s mature years. Stylistic and ideological transformation of Y.P. Polonsky’s mature lyrics is due to psychological and characterological traits of his personality – personal kind-heartedness, resulting in Polonsky’s creative response to the socio-historical events («About him», 1871 (subsequently entitled «About N.A. Nekrasov»); «In memory of S.Y. Nadson», 1887, «In memory of V.M. Garshin», 1888)

    Are effects of the symmetric and asymmetric tonic neck reflexes still visible in healthy adults?

    Item does not contain fulltextWhen a cat's head is rotated in a transverse plane to one side, the legs on that side of the body extend, while on the other side, they flex (asymmetric tonic neck reflexes ATNR). On the contrary, when the head is rotated in a sagittal plane both legs flex when the head flexes, and extend when the head extends (symmetric tonic neck reflexes STNR). These reflexes have also been found in newborn babies and are thought to be a motor primitive, which is suppressed later in life. Still, using a test in which children sit on hand and knees, the ATNR and STNR can be found in children up to 9 years of age. This may suggest that these reflexes may still be involved in motor control in these children. Whether this is also the case in full-grown adults has thus far only been studied using coarse methods. Thus, for the current study, we set out to measure in detail whether the ATNR/STNR can still be evoked in healthy adult subjects. We measured 10 subjects who were asked to sit on their hands and knees while (1) their head was rotated left and right by an experimenter, (2) their head was flexed and extended by an experimenter. Kinematics was registered using a Vicon system. Elbow and head angles were detrended, and a regression analysis was performed, to investigate the effects of head angle on elbow angle. Results clearly showed the existence of the ATNR and STNR in adult subjects. A next step will be to assess the effects of the ATNR and STNR during everyday motor control tasks, such as making head rotations while driving a bike

    Theoretical treatment of ultrashort pulse laser processing of transparent materials: What is energetically and mechanically meaningful?

    Ultrashort laser pulses are a powerful tool for modifying the structure and properties of transparent materials. Depending on material properties and irradiation conditions, a wide variety of modifications can be induced such as surface and bulk periodic structures (nanogratings), densification with associated refractive index change, microvoids and void chains, phase transitions, etc. This gives rise to numerous technological applications based on 3D photonic structures in bulk optical materials (waveguides, Bragg gratings, Fresnel zone plates, rewritable optical memories, and others). Among transparent materials, optical glasses are of prime importance for optoelectronics and photonics due to their relatively low cost, processability, and possibility of governing refractive index and inducing optical anisotropy. The physics behind laser-induced glass modifications is extremely rich and involves the multiplicity of the consecutive processes initiated by radiation absorption during the laser pulse and extending to millisecond time scales when the final structure becomes “frozen” in the glass matrix. While tremendous achievements have been made toward laser-writing techniques and assembling integrated optics, the physical mechanisms underlying glass modifications have not been fully understood. The exigency of controllable generation of desired structures requires deeper insight into of the mechanisms and spatiotemporal dynamics of laser-induced glass transformations.In this report, we will review the physical processes and mechanisms responsible for various forms of glass modification. Different approaches for modeling ultrashort laser pulse propagation in transparent materials will be critically assessed. The dynamics of laser-induced creation of free electron plasma inside bulk glass will be analyzed, depending on the irradiation conditions. A contradictory issue on the free electron density generated in glass materials upon laser irradiation will be addressed with reviewing the existing theoretical results and experimental evaluations based on application of the Drude theory. The results of modeling will be presented obtained on the basis of the Maxwell’s equations supplemented with the equations describing electron plasma generation and the laser-induced electric current. We will demonstrate that the model allows following important features of laser beam propagation in the regimes of tight focusing and dense electron plasma generation when unidirectional approximations such as the non-linear Schrödinger equation do not provide adequate description. Based on this model we have studied spatiotemporal dynamics of laser beam propagation with self-focusing, free electron generation, and plasma-induced defocusing on the example of fused silica glass under particular irradiation regimes employed for laser direct writing. As a result, the geometry of the laser energy absorption zone is determined and the glass temperature is mapped which may be foreseen at the end of electron – glass matrix relaxation. This, in turn, allows estimating the laser-induced stress levels and making conclusions on the routes of glass modification. Finally, based on the performed analysis, we consider the energy balance, matching the free electron energy and temperature with several threshold values (melting, plastic deformation, material failure with void formation, sublimation).*This research is supported by Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship grant of the corresponding author, No. 272919
