Invalidity of punishment in the mechanism for counteracting corruption

On its way of building a law state, Ukraine continues to thoroughly reform all spheres of society. However, corruption impedes the proper functioning and further development of society, undermines the foundations of statehood. Therefore, it is important that activities in the field of socially oriented transformations to be accompanied by a science-based study of the causes of prevalence and modification of corrupt manifestations, as well as proposals for improving the effectiveness of the mechanism of counteracting this phenomenon.Not without pressure from civil society and international partners, the Ukrainian authorities have carried out anti-corruption reform. New anti-corruption legislation has been adopted. New specialized anti-corruption bodies have been created to implement the approved regulatory requirements. However, despite of the significant changes in the country, Ukraine has received a negative assessment in the fight against corruption and is ranked 120 in the world rankings and the last in Europe.Though, the work against corruption is certainly conducted, there are no tangible positive changes, and all this makes one think about the reasons for such an ineffective fight against corruption and why corrupt officials remain unpunished.Among the effective tools for fighting and preventing corruption, the principle of inevitability of punishment for corruption offenses holds a special place. However, the incompleteness of judicial reform in Ukraine has led to the imbalance of the justice system. The inability of the judicial branch to hear criminal proceedings on corruption offenses within a reasonable time and to impose fair sentences on those found guilty by a court decision, demonstrates that the principle of the inevitability of punishment is under threat

Zdravlje jeste nasledstvo jedinstvenosti prirodnog i društvenog života

All the risks, fears and uncertainties that we face today are perceptible in the integrity of the relationship between society and nature. Ecological processes are increasingly being studied, mapped into economic, technology and production programs and processes. Nature is recognized as a control mechanism that serves to reveal in us a new interpretation of the social and natural good, new values in the market. Since we are the ones who interpret and emotionally experience reality, then we are the ones who recognize, accept and understand the essential values that are of importance today for the further development of society. Life in good health is a primordial driver of seeking a solution to all the risks, fears and uncertainties that we face. Establishing harmony within oneself means to recognize oneself in the same state of affairs in society. Because, where is the boundary between health and illness? Where is the boundary between society and nature? why are we separating health from disease and nature from society? It is a unique whole, and the changes that occur within it are manifestations of the continuity of a common natural and social life and the absence of boundaries between.

Religious ritualism and family values: the unity of the past and the present

Summary: The article is devoted to the problem of religious ritualism as a constituent and factor of family life in its past and present. The purpose of the article are the substantiation of religious rituals as values in the life of the family, the definition of its role through the prism of freedom of conscience and beliefs, the reflection of socio-cultural transformations of the relationship of religious rituals and family values in the unity of tradition and modernity. The use of the historical method in the work allowed us to determine the cultural-historical, civilizational circumstances that determine the content and structure of religious rituals in conjunction with the development of the family and family values in the unity of traditions and novtions. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the definition and justification of the unconditional value of the emotional-aesthetic atmosphere of the family and existential communication, which is achieved between members of the family community in the process and under the influence of religious ritual.
 Religious and ritual communication both within and outside the family is a process of exchange of certain feelings and knowledge of its members. This is only possible if the family members (in the system: parents – children – grandchildren), who make such communication, establish not only mutual understanding but also the unity of thought about the religious and emotional content of a ritual act, when the convictions of communicators coincide on the results of this spiritual activity recognized as values (ideas, thoughts, ideals, feelings, mood, etc.). By displaying such values with the help of symbolic means that affect the emotional and sensory sphere of both adults and younger family members, rituals stimulate the emergence and development of feelings, experiences and moods that meet these values. In communicative communication during the various ritual actions (joint daily prayers, reading prayer texts, funeral ceremonies, baptism, wedding, sanctification of housing, etc.), family members enter into a specific kind of relationship between themselves. The processes of their communication and relations are realized through such socio-psychological mechanisms as suggestion, persuasion, imitation and stereotyping. The shared experiences significant for family members in communication greatly contribute to their spiritual unity and rapprochement, the establishment and strengthening of internal and external relations (within and outside the family). The family as a social and, at the same time, the ritual community lives according to the laws of group psychology, which is characterized by strengthening of the mood in the feelings of "We". It is under the influence of jointly performed ritual that the formation and objectification of religious consciousness in the activity of the family and its members takes place as a connection of freedom and responsibility, holistic and partial, general and separate. The family and family religious ceremonies remain one of the most important values in human life and community. Appeal to the family traditions of religious culture allows us to find spiritual foundations for the further development of society in the modern post-industrial era. The prospect for further research is the justification from the point of view of religion of traditional family values and their socio-cultural transformations in the present.

Political Communication of Power and Opposition in Bulgaria: A Modern Projection

Political communication between the authorities and the opposition within the multi-party system of the modern Republic of Bulgaria, in terms of social and functional values, supports the mobilization of intellectual potential, social energy and initiatives of both individual citizens and various social organizations, groups, while accelerating and deepening further development of society as a whole. The article presents the objective identification of political communication, specific features of public speeches and a double-natured projection of political speeches in the vertical perspective of “power - opposition”. While positioning Bulgaria by the criterion of the democracy degree in the communication between the authorities and the opposition, we should take into account the amplitude differences: the peculiarities of the transition of Bulgaria after 1989, political configuration (the influence of the two-party system), the specifics of the political confrontation of the communicative process, which reveals their intransigence and difference in the positions. The specific confrontation between the main political actors (SDS and BSP) has been developing by the very destructive axis of “democracy – communism”. The eight-year activity of the coalition government of SDS (20012009) has led to an extreme expansion. Its intensity has been somewhat leveled by the ideological identity, but still it couldn’t soften the communicative confrontation between the authorities and the opposition. The activities of the three governmental offices of the GERD Party and Prime Minister’s B. Borisov office since 2009 have clearly highlighted the new differences in communicative with the opposition, provoking systemic intransigence. The authorities’ resistance to the opposition sometimes borders on arrogance. This creates a closed circle in which the authorities and the opposition wait for each other’s actions to quickly react to the miscalculations of the enemy in the media space, to compromise in order to set the new rules.

The System of Development Programmes on Pre-School and School Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan

This article addresses preschool education as an integral part of the general education system in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This article describes problems related to preschool and certain areas of school development, such as early childhood development, communication, socialisation, creative thinking and leadership. The three studies described below illustrate efforts to increase the early literacy of low-income pre-schoolers: Training child care providers to implement early literacy curriculum, comparing materials and coaching to support early literacy, and assessing the impact of a statewide multipronged teacher support strategy to improve early literacy. Consequently, high school has a powerful potential for developing the leadership potential of students. Because further development of society depends on people with innovative thinking, imagination, and different ideas, there is a need for an ability as well as opportunity to develop leadership within school in order to allow students to see life prospects, to achieve specific goals, and to learn independently.

Virtues – The Centre of Quality Education System – For Successful Integration in the International Society

In times of crisis, speaking about variability, uncertainty and even anxiety becomes part of our everyday lives. School remains one of the few tangible centres of modern society in the EU which enjoys (judging by the results of public opinion surveys) a relatively high level of confidence. This trust is attributed to the significant impact school has on the lives of individuals and on the further development of society towards successful EU integration. A high quality education system is at the centre of education policies. The (internationally comparable) achievements of learners and the effectiveness of public spending are at the heart of the quality of the education system debate. This paper is based on the thesis that schools develop the moral and intellectual excellence of individuals. In the modern complex society, also often referred to as ‘risk society’, goals are stated as being increasingly important. In the area of education, it is crucial to understand the competencies that individuals need to achieve in moral and intellectual excellence, especially for a successful integration into society and the labour market. Despite varying views on competencies needed for the 21st century, all definitions highlight ethical issues, values and virtues. The focus on the aforementioned raises several questions for educators; among which is the question of whether it is even possible to teach virtues and how to define which virtues are important. This paper points to the urgency of learning virtues and outlines some of them. Defining virtues in education is one of the key tasks in realising the meaning of education, and subsequently, in the development of moral and intellectual excellence of the individual.

Collaborative use of Sixth Sense Device, Blue Brain and Swarm Intelligence for Performing Joint Actions

Around the globe, scientists and researchers are discovering new methodologies and techniques to download the data stored in the brain of a dead person for its further utilization. After the clinical death of the body, the scientists would use intelligence of any person in the form of blue brain which is also called as virtual or artificial brain that works actively when inserted as robotics machine. The paper presents the synergetic interaction between man and machine having master-slave relationship where a man act as a master and nano-robot act as slave. The nano-robot uses sixth sense technology device for mind mapping utilizing blue brain with swarm intelligence. The benefit to utilize swarm intelligence is to provide social interactions with the environment and utilizing the blue brain benefits for restoration of knowledge, memory and past experiences of a person for the further development of society. The collaboration between man and machine intelligence leads to achieve a smart or intelligent joint action for developing projects in any industry or daily life works.

Problems of the knowledge of nature as God's creation in the documents of the Second Vatican Council

The need to study the documents of the Second Vatican Council on the preservation of the environment is conditioned by concrete changes in modern society, manifested in the escalation of conflicts in relations between man and nature, the transition to the post-industrial stage of development of society, globalization. Along with the positive effects and benefits of civilization, there are also dangers, including environmental ones. In modern Ukraine, the processes associated with the transition to a market economy, the adoption of the values ​​of Western society, which require transformation in all spheres of social life.

Getting Organizational Change Right in Public Services: The Case of European Higher Education

The purpose of this article is to instigate further debate on why organizational change is currently being initiated and how it is being managed in European Higher Education. It provides suggestions on how to avoid major downsides that come with managerialism and how to enable managers and academics in the sector to concentrate on what Higher Education should be all about: to contribute to the further development of society through knowledge generation and transfer. The article is based on observations of the current developments triggered by the rise of the audit culture and adoption of managerialism. It suggests that not all change currently initiated in Higher Education is required – or indeed in the best interest of the sector or wider society – but rather, based on personal interests resulting in less efficiency and a waste of resources. Furthermore, the article argues that the audit culture and managerialism have created an environment that encourages opportunistic behaviour such as cronyism, rent-seeking and the rise of organizational psychopaths. This development will arguably not only lead to a waste of resources, change for the sake of change, further centralization, formalization and bureaucratization but, also, to a disheartened and exploited workforce, and political and short-term decision-making. The article proposes ways of managing organizational change in Higher Education successfully by providing a new conceptual change management model and a decision-maker's change manifesto.

Warum «kooperative Regionalplanung» leicht zu fordern, aber schwer zu praktizieren ist

Cooperation and consensus-building play an important role in the discussion about the further development of society and the state. In planning theory both are seen as requirements for modern regional planning. Cooperative regional planning should orientate its sphere of influence to meet this demand. This means dealing with topics that are inter-sectoral, inter-communal, integrated, and regional. Themes that are especially important are sustainability, regional development and redevelopment, and environmental quality. Under these circumstances the instruments of regional planning dealing with informal cooperation and formal control have to be designed in a way to achieve a high level of synergy. Of main importance is the management of cooperation, because it is not natural that the actors involved, working on their own, will cooperate. This management aim of regional self-control, networklike working together, can assist with effective conflict solving and the mobilization of regional self-help. Regional...
