СПЕЦИФИЧЕСКИЕ И СУЩНОСТНЫЕ ЧЕРТЫ «НАЦИОНАЛЬНОГО» И ИХ РОЛЬ В ТАНЦЕВАЛЬНОЙ КУЛЬТУРЕ КАЗАХСКОГО НАРОДА

The article examines the problem of dialectic interaction of national and belonging to another nation with regard to the Kazakh musical and choreographic art. The paper identifies the specific and essential features of “national”, which are harmoniously balanced and leave no room for nationalism or cosmopolitism. The author analyses the features of the national character of the Kazakh people - the representatives of ancient nomadic civilization with rich history, traditions, culture, deep moral values. The Kazakh dance is interpreted as a manifestation of national life system stability.

Использование социальных технологий в управлении профессиональной мобильностью молодежи на рынке труда

The paper deals with the possible use of social technologies while managing the professional mobility of young people on the labor market. Social technologies are defined in the context of the activity-based approach and the views of Russian and international social scientists and economists on their role in the management process entirely focusing on people. The key challenges and trends are identified that give rise to the need for the use of these technologies in professional mobility management. The research determines the object, subject, and main actors of social technologies involved in this process. They are classified into three groups (information and consulting, educational, and adaptation technologies) depending on their nature and the content of the means employed. The character and specific features of each of them are revealed as well. The author concludes that social technologies are a system of consecutive formalized procedures and operations. They help devise new ways to provide professional self-determination, develop professional capacities and skills, and facilitate the social and professional integration of young people into the modern labor market.

A keyword-based combination approach for detecting phishing webpages

In this paper, the Search & Heuristic Rule & Logistic Regression (SHLR) combination detection method is proposed for detecting the obfuscation techniques commonly used by phishing websites and improving the filtering efficiency of legitimate webpages. The method is composed of three steps. First, the title tag content of the webpage is input as search keywords to the Baidu search engine, and the webpage is considered legal if the webpage domain matches the domain name of any of the top-10 search results; otherwise, further evaluation is performed. Second, if the webpage cannot be identified as legal, then the webpage is further examined to determine whether it is a phishing page based on the heuristic rules defined by the character features. The first two steps can quickly filter webpages to meet the needs of real-time detection. Finally, a logistic regression classifier is used to assess the remaining pages to enhance the adaptability and accuracy of the detection method. The experimental results show that the SHLR can filter 61.9% of legitimate webpages and identify 22.9% of phishing webpages based on uniform/universal resource locator (URL) lexical information. The accuracy of the SHLR is 98.9%; thus, its phishing detection performance is high.

Ethnoculture and Economics: A Synergy of Possibilities

This article surveys the conceptual assumptions behind research into the connection between ethnocultural diversity and the social mechanisms of economic life. It identifies ideas from the classics of political economy on this particular topic with special emphasis on the nation-centric, which documents the decisive impact of climate conditions, type of economy, cultural specifics, and unique features of the national character on the economic specialization of nations. It considers ethnocultural diversity as an additional economic resource. It identifies ecological–economic ideas about the stability and productivity of ecological communities, which it uses to interpret the role of ethnocultural diversity in the socioeconomic development of interethnic communities and in ensuring their social stability and economic productivity. By analyzing a geographically localized economy as an interethnic community, it draws conclusions about the beneficial effects of ethnocultural diversity on economic development and interethnic relations, provided that foreign ethnocultural groups are successfully integrated into the host community.

Methodological fundamentals of quality management theory in condition of digital economy

Theory and practice of quality management are still under longstanding crisis which is most evidently manifested in conditions of digital economy. This article is addressing a conceptually new approach to solving the problem of quality management system development. Lack of progress in solving this problem is caused by (I) mismatch between today’s basic economic model and economic practices and, as a consequence, (II) failure to solve it within the scope of recommendations obtained in limited subject field. Referring to analysis of centuries-long experience of scientific development the authors investigate potential directions of quality management system development. The paper substantiates necessity to address the background of methodology — a science dealing with functioning and using of practical recommendations which already exist in this sphere. As a result, this subject acquires the features of interdisciplinary character — interfacing economical, general systematical and general methodological disciplines. It should be mentioned that so far problems presented herein have not been completely investigated and further more profound and detailed survey is required. Results obtained make it possible to expand potential directions of economic theory improvement and development. This paper has, to a greater extent, a prearranged character, is innovative by its nature and may be interesting for experts specialized in economy and related disciplines.

Спадщина українських учених-культурологів у контексті викладання навчальної дисципліни "Історія Української культури" у закладах вищої освіти

Останні десятиліття позначилися значними досягненнями в дослідженні особливостей української культури. Українські культурологи опираються на традиції, закладені творчістю видатних вчених, концепції культури яких характеризуються вірою у майбутнє українського народу. Вітчизняні філософи, етнографи, історики минулих століть традиційно зверталися до проблем, пов'язаних із розумінням духовно-творчої сутності людини у взаємопов'язаності з Богом, Космосом, культурою як світом людини. Початок ХХ ст. став переломним етапом для формування історичної культурології в українській науці. Багато відомих науковців, серед яких були зокрема Михайло Грушевський, Володимир Охрімович, Федір Вовк, Степан Рудницький, Іван Огієнко, Микола Хвильовий, створили в Україні фундамент науки про культуру. Наприкінці ХХ ст. інтерес вчених до культурологічної проблематики набув значного прискорення. Певним чином це було зумовлено введенням у зміст підготовки фахівців із вищою технічною освітою в Україні таких нових дисциплін, як: "Українська та зарубіжна культура", "Культурологія". На жаль, протягом останніх років у закладах вищої освіти України значно скоротилася кількість годин, відведених на вивчення цих дисциплін, у деяких закладах вони повністю зникли з навчальних планів. В умовах реформування вищої школи України необхідно зберегти інтерес юнацтва до вивчення історії української культури. Певним чином цьому буде сприяти повернення до навчальних планів підготовки фахівців у закладах вищої освіти дисциплін "Історія української культури", "Культурологія". Необхідно докласти певних зусиль, щоб зберегти набутий досвід викладання гуманітарних дисциплін, зокрема культурологічного спрямування, осучаснити їх зміст та модернізувати методи навчання, утвердити таку систему засобів, форм і методів організації навчального процесу, яка б гарантувала необхідний рівень якості підготовки конкурентоспроможного спеціаліста.

Word-character attention model for Chinese text classification

Recent progress in applying neural networks to image classification has motivated the exploration of their applications to text classification tasks. Unlike the majority of these researches devoting to English corpus, in this paper, we focus on Chinese text, which is more intricate in semantic representations. As the basic unit of Chinese words, character plays a vital role in Chinese linguistic. However, most existing Chinese text classification methods typically regard word features as the basic unit of text representation but ignore the beneficial performance of character features. Besides, existing approaches compress the entire word features into a semantic representation, without considering attention mechanism which allows for capturing salient features. To tackle these issues, we propose the word-character attention model (WCAM) for Chinese text classification. This WCAM approach integrates two levels of attention models: word-level attention model captures salient words which have closer semantic relationship to the text meaning, and character-level attention model selects discriminative characters of text. Both are jointly employed to learn representation of texts. Meanwhile, the word-character constraint model and character alignment are introduced in our proposed approach to ensure the highly representative of selected characters as well as enhance their discrimination. Both are jointly employed to exploit the subtle and local differences for distinguishing the text classes. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that our WCAM approach achieves comparable or even better performance than the state-of-the-art methods for Chinese text classification.

Emotional design for digital games for learning: The effect of expression, color, shape, and dimensionality on the affective quality of game characters

What is the affective quality of specific design features of game characters? The Integrative Model of Emotion in Game-based Learning (EmoGBL) describes common mechanisms of how emotion and learning processes interact to foster specific learning outcomes. In the present paper, we asked how color, shape, expression, and dimensionality of game characters induce emotions in digital games for learning. We investigated learners' perception of the affective quality of these four different visual design features for adults and adolescents using a forced choice paradigm (studies 1–3), as well as the PANAS-X and qualitative measures (study 4). Participants were shown a series of game characters and were asked to report their emotional response. Results show the relative contribution of the four visual attributes on players’ perception of affective quality, with the visual design features of expression and dimensionality having the strongest effect, color a medium-sized effect, and shape a small to medium-sized effect.

Wzorce wychowania do życia w rodzinie przekazywane dziewczętom w szkołach klasztornych (XVII–XIX w.)

Patterns of education for family life for girls in convent schools (XVII – half of XIXth century) The paper aims to analyse the education and upbringing of girls in schools run by nuns in the period from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. It shows the elements of upbringing and education that shaped the attitudes and values considered the most important in family life. It discusses issues related to the education of girls in how to run and manage a household, how to do household work, how to manage the household expenditure. On the basis of school curricula the range of intellectual education, the development of personal standards (attitudes, behaviours and features of character) of women in this period will be shown. These issues will be presented against a changing historical context, and will focus on girls from different social backgrounds.

A deep learning method for named entity recognition in bidding document

Named entity recognition is a fundamental task of Natural Language Processing and belongs to the category of sequence labeling problems. In the text, the named entity is the main carrier of information, which is used to express the main content of the text. Accurately identifying these contents is essential for implementing various natural language processing techniques such as information extraction, information retrieval, machine translation, and question and answer system. Named entities in business documents contain a lot of important information that can bring significant business value to the business. In this paper, we propose the method of combining Bi-directional long-short-term memory network and conditional random field, combining n-gram features and character features, and introducing attention mechanism to identify the tenderee, bidding agent and project number three entities in the bidding documents. Compared with the LSTM, BiLSTM can obtain the context information better and extract more features. The CRF uses the features obtained by BiLSTM to decode and obtain the final labeling result. In the comparative experiment of the collected data sets of 20,000 bidding documents, the BiLSTM-CRF model proposed in this paper can produce better labeling effect than other models and meet our expectations.

Psychological impact of fibromyalgia: current perspectives.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread and persistent musculoskeletal pain and other frequent symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, morning stiffness, cognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety. FMS is also accompanied by different comorbidities like irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. Although some factors like negative events, stressful environments, or physical/emotional traumas may act as predisposing conditions, the etiology of FMS remains unknown. There is evidence of a high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in FMS (especially depression, anxiety, borderline personality, obsessive-compulsive personality, and post-traumatic stress disorder), which are associated with a worse clinical profile. There is also evidence of high levels of negative affect, neuroticism, perfectionism, stress, anger, and alexithymia in FMS patients. High harm avoidance together with high self-transcendence, low cooperativeness, and low self-directedness have been reported as temperament and character features in FMS patients, respectively. Additionally, FMS patients tend to have a negative self-image and body image perception, as well as low self-esteem and perceived self-efficacy. FMS reduces functioning in physical, psychological, and social spheres, and also has a negative impact on cognitive performance, personal relationships (including sexuality and parenting), work, and activities of daily life. In some cases, FMS patients show suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and consummated suicide. FMS patients perceive the illness as a stigmatized and invisible disorder, and this negative perception hinders their ability to adapt to the disease. Psychological interventions may constitute a beneficial complement to pharmacological treatments in order to improve clinical symptoms and reduce the impact of FMS on health-related quality of life.

Disappearance of the Limestone Architectural Heritage in Central Poland - Trends and Challenges

Koło Basin is a geographical region located in central Poland, where in the period from the mid-XIX century until the late of 1960s the traditional rural construction had been developing architectural features of a unique character. The structures in that area were not being constructed using wood, which was the most common construction material used throughout the Polish lowlands, but limestone, mined at small local quarries. Their emergence is a result of a specific terrain of the discussed area, where in the vicinity of villages Rożniatów and Czepów, as well as the little town of Poddębice, a layer of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks reaches to the surface. An estimated number of 3,000 structures in the region was erected using this material. These include houses, homesteads, barns, churches, manors, mills and other rural buildings. Research conducted by the authors between 2011-2017 revealed that a little over 2,300 of these structures still exist. In the recent times, the speed of removal of these buildings, which are such a characteristic feature of the region’s cultural landscape, rapidly increased. There are at least a few causes of this phenomenon. The depopulation of the rural areas results in abandoning of the farms, which thereafter soon become derelict and devastated. Most of the residential structures made of limestone in the past centuries does not meet the current utility standards. Therefore, they are frequently taken apart, and being replaced by new structures made out of modern construction materials and integrating universal design projects. More frequently as well, the owners of such structures are upgrading and expanding the existing construction, having the existing limestone elements covered with layers of thermo-isolation and plaster. These changes involve also farm utility structures for agricultural production. Since Poland’s accession to the European Union, the rural areas of the country begun a definite expansion, but also a change in its profile and scale. As one of the side-effects of modernization of farmsteads, which were to increase their profitability and competitiveness, old structures are being abandoned and demolished. The civilization growth in Koło Basin and its surroundings results in the improving of its populations’ living and working conditions is definitely a positive development. It’d be beneficial however that it proceeds in a more harmonious and balanced manner, preserving the unique cultural heritage of the region. In authors’ opinion the actions which had been taken by the local authorities so far towards the protection and the preservation of these assets of cultural heritage for generations to come do not guarantee success of the undertaking. There is a necessity for forming and a subsequent firm execution a complex plan for protection of the limestone structures in the region. Authors point to the fact that the rural limestone architecture existing in Koło Basin is unique in the scale in this part of Europe.

Architecture of the National Bank of Czechoslovakia in the Territory of Present-day Slovakia (1918 – 1938)

The end of the Great war brought about many changes in the European political, social and economic climate. Monarchies were replaced with more democratic systems, countries lost their territories, and new sates based on national principle were established. In 1918, after a period of ethnic oppression and magyarization in the Hungarian part of the Habsburg Empire following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, the Bohemian and Slovak people declared their independence and founded a new national state - the Czechoslovakia. The period short after its foundation was one full of enthusiasm and joy stemming from the newfound freedom and opportunity for cultivation of national culture, identity and politics in democratic environment on the one hand, and challenges brought by the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian economy and political system on the other. As a result of establishing the new state, the need arose to define its nation by architecture and the issue of National Style reemerged. After the brief period of Rondocubism preference, for some time, the official buildings retained certain expressive character and massive features. Even after giving way to Modernism, the sense of traditionalism was evident. In the Slovak part of Czechoslovakia, bank buildings, as buildings of institutions that once supported national-emancipatory aspirations of Slovak people, bank architecture often used well-established schemes and preferred more traditional designs to convey desired messages. The institution in charge of monetary separation and management of the new currency was the Banking Office of the Ministry of Finance and subsequently the National Bank of Czechoslovakia (since 1926). After the collapse of Austro-Hungarian Empire, all the buildings of branch offices of the former central bank – the Austro-Hungarian Bank - were took over by the Czechoslovak government. These were often extended, as were the cases of branch office buildings in Bratislava, Košice and Žilina. When they no longer fitted the formal or capacity criteria, three new branch office buildings were built on the territory of present-day Slovakia: a neo-renaissance building in Banská Bystrica (Ladislav Skřivánek, 1930 – 1932) and two buildings in the style of regional modernism with notes of traditionalism and classical features in Ružomberok (Vladimír Fischer, 1930 – 1932) and Bratislava (Emil Belluš, 1936-1938). The article examines stylistic, ideological, formal, and layout requirements for an architectural concept of a central bank institution demonstrated on the examples of branch office buildings built during existence of the First Czechoslovak Republic in the territory of the present-day Slovakia. As a part of a systematic research focused on Slovak bank buildings, the chosen buildings will be analysed, compared with relevant examples, and interpreted in the context of political, social, and economical situation, and style and typological particularities.

Exploring the Lapse in Druggability: Sequence Analysis, Structural Dynamics and Binding Site Characterization of K-RasG12C Variant, a Feasible Oncotherapeutics Target.

The difficulty in druggability of K-Ras variant has presented a challenge in the treatment of cancer diseases associated with its dysfunctionality. Despite the identification of different binding sites, limited information exists in the literature about their characteristics. Therefore, identification, crossvalidation and characterization of its druggable sites would aid the design of chemical compounds that will arrest its dysfunctionality related oncogenesis. This study entails the identification, cross-validation and characterization of K-Ras G12C variant's binding sites for potential druggability, coupled with the elucidation of alterations in 3D conformations and dynamics. Molecular dynamics simulation was carried out on the inactive, the active and the hyperactive K-RasG12Cvariant using the amber software package. The SiteMap software was employed in identifying and characterizing the druggable binding sites while the validation of the binding sites was carried out with the SiteHound and MetaPocket servers. Four druggable binding sites were identified, validated and characterized based on physicochemical attributes such as size, volume, degree of enclosure or exposure, degree of contact, hydrophobic/hydrophilic character, hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance and hydrogen-bonding features. Conformational studies also revealed that the K-Ras variant exhibited notable structural instability, increased flexibility and a strongly anticorrelated movement compared to the inactive and active wildtype forms. The attributes of the characterized druggable sites will be useful in designing site-specific K-Ras inhibitors for the treatment of K-Ras variant associated cancer diseases.

АНАЛІЗ СПІВРОБІТНИКІВ КОМПАНІЇ ЯК НОСІЇВ КОРПОРАТИВНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ

The paper explores the key factors affecting the corporate culture formation and development. Recently, the issues of corporate culture, especially in large organizations, trigger the focused attention of a number of management theorists and practitioners. It is a relatively new and insufficiently researched concept, both in this country and abroad. People make the foundation of any company, conversely any organization directs its activities towards a person fostering a multifaceted diversity of organizational culture brought in by each employee. This wide spectrum of variety is shaped by the uniqueness of each individual. Each person’s genetic background is exceptional which stems from people’s diversity of the universe. Ukrainian national individualism specified by the nature of social life plays a dual role in building a corporate culture domain of domestic business structures. Given the equity capital formation under the indirect ownership-based principle of “from individual to collective”, this feature of a national character contributes to corporate philosophy tailoring. The paper suggests a definition of the “corporate culture” concept as a set of values, beliefs, opinions, perceptions, expectations, symbols as well as behavior norms and patterns, traditions, rituals, etc. that have developed in the organization or its divisions during its life cycle and which are accepted by the majority of employees. The system of leadership based on encouraging practices is proved to be most effective. Diligent, initiative performance of management instructions, hard creative work in this case depend on the remuneration policy. Thus, incentives should be meaningful for a performer and feasible for a firm. Insights to a range of theoretical and practical aspects in building employee’s corporate culture are provided. The personnel particular role in facilitating the enterprise performance efficiency is revealed. The paper verifies the need to implement coaching in terms of effective training practices for staff development.

Evaluation of metadata representations in RDF stores

The article analyses the contemporary situation in the research on childhood and generalises the prevailing approaches to a child, childhood, as well as to research methodology. The methodological basis of the discussion—who should be the main subjects of research—children or adults—is revealed. The views of those researchers who maintain that children are the main participants of research are supported. Reference is made to the psycho-social and cultural characteristics of children, which dominate social-humanitarian research, which are relevant to a researcher when selecting qualitative or quantitative research methods. The limits of trust in children as subjects of research are indicated. The article discloses the features of the research ethics that are determined by a researcher’s approach to a child’s (children’s) status in the research. The core of the responsibility of the researcher as a representative of adults and their culture is explained. It is pointed out that a researcher in childhood research represents the type of relations with children that is characteristic of the society where the researcher lives. The article emphasises the mission of the childhood researcher—to reveal the unknown, unfamiliar and therefore sometimes underestimated socio-cultural aspects and problems of the children’s’ world to society. The conclusion is made that a childhood researcher in his/her research always advocates the social-cultural meaningfulness of the childhood world against adults and society as a whole. Research that involves children should answer a question—whether a child (children) is a reliable informant, and whether they are sincere when providing information. Often observed lies or insincerity of children should be understood by a researcher as a child’s intention to protect themselves from trouble. Various forms of avoidant behaviour depend on the age of the children. Childhood researchers must demonstrate trust in children even when the latter do not tell the truth. Besides, a researcher is recommended to avoid exerting pressure, manipulation and deception on children. A researcher should have certain character features: curiosity, being able to show an emphatic interest in a child’s life and to become an explorer striving to learn about and understand the child’s world.

Self-regulation of life purpose values in youth cultural space

Young people’s transitioning into adulthood is accompanied by their inclusion into society’s socio-cultural context, together with the development of their own cultural models and interaction practices. Youth cultural space develops as a result of layered connections between young people and culture in general – elements of which are simultaneously inherited and altered by them – as well as subculture models, which emerge in the realm of intra-group interactions, i.e. within youth communities. During the dialectical process of inheritance, denial and construction, young people obtain their own social-group characteristics. In turn their cultural space is distinguished by features which differentiate their activities from other social groups. In modern society youth cultural space is very much a self-regulating realm, within which occurs the development and construction of the most important values which then become the foundation for purpose in life. Base culture plays an essential role in shaping purpose, with its models – contained within the collective unconscious – being directly linked to historic memory. Historic memory, reflected in archetypical and mental structures, influences the content of life purpose values. Engraining itself into habitus during the habitualization process, it becomes the basis for purpose which defines the direction for behavioral predispositions. Together with historic memory, youth life purpose values are significantly influenced by everyday knowledge and experience, which accumulate as a result of young people interacting with others participating in the development of cultural space. In order to confirm self-regulation of youth life purpose values as a holistic process, this article analyzes the connection between young people’s concepts on the meaning of life and various types of culture, archetypes, mentality, habitus. This was facilitated by the fact that the article presents results of developing a cultural space typology, of highlighting – based on analyzing existing approaches towards studying the unconscious – the most common archetypes, mental and modern features of national character, habitual attitudes. Analyzing their relationship allowed for tracing the influence of each on the development of young people’s purposes in life during the self-regulation process. The article substantiates the conclusion – drawn as a result of analyzing how life purposes are connected with types of culture and archetypes – that young people for the most part accept traditional culture, which defines the general direction for the development of meaning in their lives. Based on analyzing the connection between life purpose values and mental, modern features of national character, the study reveals the dialectics of “traditional” and “contemporary” in the altering of meanings in young people’s lives. Analyzing the connection between life purpose values and habitus allows us to consider the modification (hybridization) of meanings in the process of developing behavioral inclinations among young people in terms of self-regulating their living activity. Therefore self-regulation of young people’s life purpose values appears to be a dynamic process which fills their lives with new meanings in an evolving cultural space.

A Coverless Plain Text Steganography Based on Character Features

The coverless text steganography has become a research hotspot in the field of information hiding because no modification to a text carrier will improve the concealment of steganography. However, compared with images, audios, videos, or other carriers, a plain text has less redundancy for modification, so the text steganographic embedding rate is usually lower, and semantic anomalies are more easily produced once it is modified or generated. This paper analyzes the parity of Chinese characters’ stroke number and its statistical characteristic, and reach the conclusion that this parity feature exhibits a uniform distribution and it exists in every character. These indicate that the parity can be employed to express a binary digit and its combination can represent a binary digit string. In the light of the above analyses, we propose a new coverless plain text steganography based on the parity of Chinese characters’ stroke number and extend it to further improve the embedding rate. By exploiting the space mapping concept, this method initializes a binary search tree based on the texts from the Internet and searches the corresponding texts according to the secret binary digit string generated from a secret. Thus, a secret will be mapped into a list of the corresponding uniform resource locators. That is, our proposed methods only employ the existing uniform resource locators to convey a secret. Compared with the existing text steganography techniques, our methods not only have high-embedding rate and good concealment but also can improve the embedding capacity without impact on the concealment, which eliminates the contradiction between the embedding capacity/rate and security, because no modification or additional information is generated. In addition, these methods have a prominent search success rate, and they can be extended to other language features as well as to other languages.
