In the article the research program of phenomenology which allows to solve a problem of structuring of science images during in the era of total domination of information and communication systems is actualized. It is revealed that the image of science is structured in the course of a knowledge denaturalization which doesn’t coincide with historical forms of life of such knowledge. From the phenomenological point of view scientific activity is a process of creation of knowledge in which procedures of justification and description in a context are set of intentions of the cognition consciousness. Completeness of understanding opens as an unattainable ideal, the aspiration to which acts as the main indicator of scientific character of the received results. The ideal option of display of science concerning which any real distribution channels of information are deprived of independent value is as a result actualized.

Philosophical consideration of social dynamics is presented in the article. Transformation of education serves as a basis for investigation of social dynamics. Evolution of educational (curriculum) ideologies, which reflect the understanding of what education is for, along with information technologies development are presented as the necessary and sufficient conditions of learning models transformation. Undertaken analysis of ideas, concepts disseminated by the considered educational ideologies, including the learner centered ideology, reveals the so called trivialization of education. Proclaimed humanitarian orientation to a learner with its ideas of freedom, equality, respect to individuality has led to the massification of educational services based on the principles of simplification, fragmentation of the learning process as a whole. Education as a process tends to be replaced with the state of accomplishment, being graduated, certificated, seemingly prepared for professional activities. Such an education is characterized with the unexamining, frivolous approach to the sources of information. Information technologies opening free access to “knowledge” in the conditions of weakening of demand for the substantive, nontrivial educational services creates opportunities for what we call trivialization of education. To overcome the observed inertness, lack of strive for education the renewed concept of united conscious and praxis is found to be important.

The particular interpretations of the idea of immortality in the philosophy of Russian cosmism and modern transhumanism are identified. The parallels between Christian and transhumanist interpretations of the idea of immortality are drown. The uniqueness of the Fedorov’s philosophical teachings and Russian cosmism is generally the fact that overcoming death and the attainment of immortality have never been considered as a project and purpose of human existence in philosophy and religion. The central idea of Russian cosmism in the modern transhumanism (the idea of immortality) transform into the projects of “cybernetic immortality” and “anthropo-construction”. The point of view on the immortality in Russian cosmism and transhumanism is aside from the main for new European cultural tradition dispute between religion and secular humanism. In Russian cosmism and transhumanism it is not the question of the belief in immortality, but the problem of its practical achievement. The immortality in the Fedorov’s philosophy and transhumanism is viewed as a fundamentally achievable target. Immortality - is the decision and the choice of the person, but not a reward for merits or a simple “property” of human nature. But death, mortality in the deepest ultimate sense are also the choice of the human being, but not a simply given

Researchers working in the field of exact sciences, natural sciences as well as in humanitarian and interdisciplinary fields pay more and more attention to the issue of cyborg creation, replacement of body parts with high technology analogues in the modern society in the conditions of robust development of information and bioengineering technologies. The image of cyborg is formed under the influence of scientific developments in the area of creation of first cyber-projects, foresight researches on society cybernation on the one hand. On the other, the image of cyborg is formed by modern mass culture, which is characterized by wide audience and transition to new electronic forms (E-culture). A review of modern researches connected with understanding of the essence of cyborgs, their role in the society of the future, as well as an analysis of social and humanitarian aspects of the process of society cybernation is represented on the basis of philosophical and anthropological approach. Development of cyber-technologies is analyzed taking into consideration the most urgent issues of its consequent implementation: gender transformation, demographic transition, immortalism etc. A special attention is given to the image of cyborg in modern electronic culture: from cinema art to mass computer games. The article reveals the dynamics of the image of cyborg in mass culture production, its gradual legitimation in the consumer’s consciousness which leads to the shift of ontological boundaries of human’s existence and statement of new existential issues of post-identity.

The article deals with socioanthropological dimensions of convergent technologies, in particular with concept of complex dynamical emergent inerfaces applied to new forms of subject/object interaction in new level sociotechnical systems. Specifically so-called cyberphysical systems in umbrella programs of technological development, such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), the Internet of Things, machine to machine (M2M), Smart Environments (Smart X- Smart City, Smart House. ..), augmented reality, artificial intelligence, neuro-computer interfaces. Designated role of transdisciplinary usage of methodological procedures of Complexity Science, self-organization and autopoiesis, semiotic approach to integrate the results of individual studies, focused on the issue of development of the Internet of Things and other cyberphysical communications projects

The article shows that computational approach nowadays is a set of philosophical, psychological, neurophysiological theories and concepts based on a theory suggesting that every object under study is subject to quantitative patterns. The introduction of the computational turn notion to the history of philosophy resulted from methodological changes, the emergence of a new computational apparatus for philosophical studies; philosophical object field expansion, connected to the informational technologies development and informational society establishment. The article examines the influence of the computational approach on the understanding of intelligence and consciousness

This article is devoted to the analysis of the well-known and relevant NP-complete Steiner problem, often solved by using ant algorithms. The relevance of this problem is related to the rapid growth of computer networks and the possibility of application in other fields of science and technology, such as the laying of power cables, VLSI design, logistics problems. Paper formalizes mathematical description of the Steiner problem. It considers the possibility of using different heuristics such as “natural” algorithms for solving this problem. In addition, it draws an analogy between the behavior of an ant colony and the work of the algorithm for solving NP-complete Steiner problem. Different variants of ant algorithms developed by other authors, the results of their effectiveness estimation and comparison with the classical implementation are described. Paper notes the implementation features of each considered algorithms, including their graph structure and its parameters. In addition, we provide links to major data sets for testing algorithms and conclude about the effectiveness of each algorithm implementations and their applicability to different graphs, including their dynamic changing.

The article is devoted to vulnerability, which can be found in hardware and software devices with USB interface. Today, almost any computer peripherals including storage devices, ranging from flash storage device and ending with the most complex medical devices, is connected via USB, also a huge variety of devices use USB connector to charge the internal battery. Currently, the versatility of the USB interface is the vulnerability of the computers and devices that support it. The article describes the current use of the USB interface, the method by which the computer recognizes the device type and its purpose. Common models of vulnerable controllers among USB storage devices are identified. Some of the attack types using this vulnerability and BadUSB infections are described. The way to create an infected USB device is provided. Paper also offers security options for devices: hardware and software means of protection from infection, starting with simple programs, such as “USB Security” and finishing with software for complex security, such as «Secret Net», «Guardian NT», «Dallas Lock». We also describe hardware protection with a device, which disables the data bus or disconnects USB. In addition, we also consider alternative storage media - encrypted and secure USB flash drives.
