Classical science was limited to studying the surrounding macrocosm and assumed a mechanical, and later, electrical, view of the world. Despite its brilliant successes, by the end of the 19th century, its serious shortcomings and contradictions were revealed, which grew as it penetrated the depths of matter and the vastness of the cosmos. Modern science, which replaced classical science, eliminated these contradictions by creating a new, quantum synergetic view of the world, which is based on the concept of its systematicity and emergence. This article demonstrates how synergetic, combined with the information theory of the standard model of quantum theory, explained the most complex processes of the evolution of the Universe, which, as shown in the article, indirectly confirms the concept of the origin of life I proposed.

The article examines the need for renewable energy and energy storage in the global energy sector and shows their role in the energy sector of the 21st century and their future. The previously existing systemic problems in the traditional energy sector that led to the appearance of renewable energy sources and energy storage devices in it are shown. The reasons that contributed to the rapid growth of renewable energy sources and energy storage in the world's energy balance in the 21st century and the problems associated with their introduction into the energy system are being advised.

Based on many years of experience in the field of crop protection from hail using rocket technology, as well as the results of influencing cloud processes using ground generators in Brazil, a new method of influence without the use of rockets and aviation is proposed. The proposals are based on experimental data and theoretical calculations of the behavior of ice-forming particles during their generation at the earth's surface and at a level close to the roots of natural convection during intra-mass and frontal precipitation-forming processes. According to estimates, ice-forming particles from the level of their generation will enter the area of formation and growth of a hail cell by convective flows. In rocket technology, determining this area is one of the most difficult tasks facing radar. In the proposed method for delivering ice-forming particles to the area of generation and growth of hail, radar assistance is not required. The particles that form ice will independently enter this area. This also eliminates many problems associated with the safety of launching rockets over densely populated areas. The authors propose a new method of influencing precipitation-forming processes. It does not require the use of aircraft or rockets. According to the authors, particles that form hail already at the stage of their formation move in convective flows and independently enter the cloud cell where hail is generated and grows. Thus, they become competitors of natural hail formation nuclei for the available and incoming water. The proposed method allows avoiding nu- merous safety problems that arise when launching rockets over densely populated areas.

This article presents the methodology and results of experimental studies of the structure of cloud flows under impacts on precipitation processes.

In today's world, digital technologies are transforming human thinking, influencing key cognitive functions such as memory, perception, and decision-making. Key theories of cognitive extension, including Clark and Chalmers's (1998) extended mind theory and Hirsminck's (2015) multidimensional theory of cognitive extension, are analyzed to assess how these technologies integrate with and extend human cognitive abilities. These concepts suggest that devices such as smartphones, the internet, and GPS systems function as external cognitive elements that enhance or replace memory, analysis, and spatial perception. Such technologies become "extensions of the mind," transforming traditional cognitive processes and enabling instant access to extensive data, reducing reliance on biological memory and changing the methods of knowledge organization. However, such improvements pose significant challenges to maintaining epistatic responsibility. Algorithmic filters in digital platforms such as social media and search engines lead to cognitive biases, narrowing the perception of reality and hindering critical thinking. Learning to critically evaluate digital content fosters the development of intellectual virtues, which are especially important in an era when technology actively influences cognitive and decision-making processes. The central idea is the importance of mindful use of technology, a balanced approach that leverages digital tools to enhance cognitive capabilities while minimizing the risks of algorithmic manipulation.

An attempt to look beyond the threshold of our civilization.

This article explores the historical contribution of Jewish scholars and physicians to the development of global medicine, from ancient times to the 20th century. The author emphasizes that the foundations of Jewish medicine are closely tied to the religious and ethical principles of Judaism, as outlined in the Tanakh and the Torah. Unlike pagan practices, these texts distinguished healing as a separate and independent profession even in antiquity. The article also highlights the role of Jewish doctors during the Middle Ages, who, despite persecution and restrictions, achieved high levels of professionalism and served at royal courts. Special attention is given to the life and works of Moses Maimonides (Rambam), who was not only an outstanding practitioner but also laid the groundwork for preventive medicine. The author presents examples of contributions by Jewish scientists and Nobel laureates Ilya Mechnikov and Paul Ehrlich in shaping modern experimental medicine. A separate section is devoted to the history of Jewish physicians in pre-revolutionary Russia, describing their struggle against limitations and their involvement in medicine and science despite antisemitism. The article concludes by refuting modern antisemitic myths and underscores that, despite all hardships, Jewish medical professionals continued to make significant contributions to the advancement of human health and science. The author also provides examples of the contributions of Jewish scientists to post-medieval science, including Nobel laureates such as Ilya Mechnikov and Paul Ehrlich, and them role in the establishment of modern experimental medicine. A separate section is dedicated to the history of Jewish physicians in pre-revolutionary Russia, describing their struggle against restrictions and their participation in medicine and science despite anti-Semitism.

This article analyzes the formation and evolution of Jewish musical identity. Based on an examination of religious, historical, and cultural factors, the author traces how synagogue and Hasidic traditions laid the foundation for secular music. The work explores the processes of cultural exchange within the diaspora and the contributions of Jews to European and American musical art, including opera and cantorial singing. Special attention is paid to the analysis of musical forms (for example, the nigun) and the biographies of key figures, which provides a deeper understanding of music's role as a tool for preserving national identity and expressing collective experience.

Slow prion infections – degenerative disease. Any of various viruses or prions have a long incubation period between infections and the clinical manifestation. The prion for proteinaceous infection particle is a unique of a host protein. The classification of disease is based on characteristics of the agents are presented in clinical manifestations. Diagnosis of prion are described however any infection protein particle would be defined as a prion? Other mechanisms may be possible.

Current electoral systems in many countries, including Israel, demonstrate an inability to form competent and accountable government bodies. Israel's proportional model, while ensuring a high degree of representativeness, simultaneously generates chronic political instability, party fragmentation, and a decline in the competence of elected representatives. This article provides a comparative analysis of existing models (proportional, majoritarian, mixed, and ranked), formulates criteria for an "ideal" system, and proposes a new hybrid model. Particular attention is paid to the integration of innovative principles: candidate qualification filters, digital accountability mechanisms, public campaign financing, and the protection of minorities and regions. To support the relevance of reform, the author draws on ideas expressed in a number of recent publications demonstrating the practical connection between the weakness of the electoral system and national security crises. The article substantiates the need for electoral reform in Israel not only as an academic task but also as a strategic priority for the state.
