ALTERNATYVI MODERNYBĖ IR JOS STRATEGIJOS by Arūnas Gelūnas

“…Most of the outstanding critics of Modernity - Stephen Toulmin, Leszek Kolakowski, Friedrich August von Hayek and Louis Dumont - argue that Cartesian rationality and its "byproduct", rigid geometrical paradigm of knowledge, has to be replaced by a more flexible and evolution-oriented biological paradigm. Truth is said to be more of a local and "parochial" than of universal character - that is why one has to take seriously the multiplicity of customs and traditions instead of trying to check their rightness or wrongness by means of Cartesian Method. …”

Seasonal Features and a Case Study of Tropopause Folds over the Tibetan Plateau by Jiali Luo, Wenjun Liang, Pingping Xu, Haiyang Xue, Min Zhang, Lin Shang, Hongying Tian

“…A medium fold event that occurred on 29 December 2018 is used to demonstrate the evolution of a tropopause fold case over the TP in winter; that is, the folding structure moves from west to east, the tropopause pressure is greater than 320 hPa over the folding region, while it is about 200 hPa in the surrounding areas, and the stratospheric air with high potential vorticity (PV) is transported from the high latitudes to the plateau by meridional winds. …”
