Противодействие рецидивной преступности в России: проблемы и перспективы

Introduction: the implementation of the penal purpose declared in Russian legislation, i.e., the correction of the convicted person, is a problem that does not lose its relevance, which is partly due to the negative dynamics of recidivism. Purpose: based on research into the initiating causes of recidivist offenders’ behavior, to determine the measures capable of reducing recidivism. Methods: the methodological framework of the research is based on dialectical materialism; the study employed general scientific methods (systemic structural, Aristotelian, inductive and deductive, analysis and synthesis) as well as special methods (legalistic, formal‐logical). Results: the paper proposes several statutory and law enforcement measures as those having the potential to decrease the level of recidivism: legal formalization of the compensation for property and moral damage as a condition for probation (Article 73 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) in order to motivate the convicted to cover for all the damage caused; a significant expansion of the practice of ordering treatment for alcohol and drug addiction; an extension and unification of the practice of applying Part 5 of Article 86 of the Criminal Code through the explanation by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of the term ‘exemplary conduct’; stimulating the convicted to receive secondary‐level vocational education in the reform facilities as well as to receive higher education after release, etc. Currently, integration of the probation system into Russian legislation and practice seems inappropriate due to the uncertainty with regard to the nature of probation and the prospects for creating such an integral system in Russia given the objectives that the relevant authorities are already implementing under the conditions of limited funding. Conclusion: the implementation of the specified measures can reduce the level of recidivism only to some extent because the determination of recidivist behavior is largely explained by general social problems, addressing which appears to be of primary importance. It seems promising to use some certain probational methods in relation to the categories of criminals whose conduct can be changed.

Bahasa Tabu di Ruang Publik: Melihat Pesan dalam Film Mlekoki

Taboo language, which is usually used in private spaces, is often found in public spaces and is favored by various groups. This condition is reflected in the short film Mlekoki Official, which gets a lot of enthusiasm from Youtube viewers. The aims of this study are to find a benchmark for the public to feel like taboo language in public spaces and find the factors that cause the public to feel like taboo language in public spaces. This research method uses descriptive research and a qualitative approach. The data source of this research is a secondary data source from Mlekoki Official. Data collection techniques using observation and literature study. Data validity by triangulation and data analysis by interactive models. The results of this study conclude that the short film Mlekoki Official, which contains a lot of taboo language, is liked by the public. This can be seen from the large number of viewers and likes. The factors that cause the liking for the Mlekoki Official short film are because (1) it is not common among the public (judging by the theme raised); (2) a lot of taboo language (language that is rarely used in public spaces); and (3) raising the theme of general social problems (problems that are often experienced by the surrounding community)

Formation of sociological imagination in students of technical institutions in education in the process of teaching sociology

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of sociological imagination in the process of teaching sociology to students studying in technical educational institutions. The concept of “sociological imagination”, introduced into scientific circulation by the American sociologist Wright Mills, is being clarified. It turns out that the concept of sociological imagination has acquired the status of one of the main in modern sociology and began to play an important educational role, and in sociological science, respectively, methodological and methodological. Attention is paid to the peculiarities of teaching sociology in technical educational institutions, and in view of this, the problem of forming the sociological imagination of students. The fact is that sociology in technical educational institutions is not professional, so it is taught exclusively as a general discipline of worldview. The purpose of teaching sociology in such higher education institutions is to promote the formation of students’ sociological imagination, ie to help future specialists in engineering to develop the ability to think socially, ie to adequately perceive, comprehend and interpret social processes and phenomena, analyze and be ready to solve complex social problems. The solution of this problem involves the use of such methods of teaching sociology, which would be related to the specific practices of modern society, taking into account the universal and professional interests of future professionals. The own experience of teaching sociology at the National Transport University is analyzed. There are examples of using different methods of teaching sociology, aimed at forming a sociological imagination that allow students to perceive the social world around them and relate their professional problems with general social problems, educate and shape their civic position and increase their general cultural level.

Виявлення соціально-економічних проблем на основі аналізу оцінок процесу децентралізації влади в Україні

Проаналізовано оцінки процесу децентралізації влади в Україні, які давалися впродовж реалізації реформ засобами масової інформації, населенням новоутворених об’єднаних територіальних громад (далі – ОТГ) та публічними службовцями. Зауважено, що оцінки змінювалися впродовж процесу децентралізації влади, проявляючи, загалом, тенденцію до покращення. Виявлено слабкі зміни в оцінках стану корупції в публічному секторі та охорони навколишнього середовища. Зазначено, що серед нових проблем є загроза появи явища вседозволеності з боку керівників ОТГ і брак кваліфікованих кадрів.

Salary optimisation in Ukraine in the context of the economy Europeanisation

In the context of active legislative prospects of the labour legislation of Ukraine in the aspect of their European integration, there are issues of developing and implementing effective remuneration systems and optimising them, which should be aimed at solving the problems of developing the Ukrainian economy, ensuring a combination of economic and social interests and goals of individual employees and managers of enterprises. This requires the application of new approaches to the organisation of wages, considering the specifics of enterprises and the experience of domestic and foreign companies, as well as scientists in the field of wages. The establishment of effective mechanisms in the remuneration system, which should ensure social and economic justice in labour relations, plays a significant role in resolving the relevant issues. This is primarily the observance, protection and restoration of the subjective rights of employees to pay in case of violation. If most of the outlined general social and economic problems cannot be solved by one means or another, it is not only possible but also necessary to formulate priority purely legal tasks related to the optimisation of legal regulation of wages. The article reflects: 1) the international legal basis for the establishment of an appropriate level of wages, 2) foreign experience in the establishment of optimised wages and 3) scientific and applied approaches to optimising wages in the Ukrainian economy under the influence of European integration processes. During the writing of this article, for a comprehensive disclosure of the issues, to achieve an objective scientific result and formulate appropriate conclusions, the authors used general and special methods of cognition (dialectical, functional, Aristotelian, comparative legal, hermeneutic, method of comparison). The article concludes that the existence of many intra-industry tariff grids in Ukraine in practice only complicates law enforcement. If there really was a Unified Tariff Grid, which would consider all professions, their features and the specifics of working conditions, there would be no need for each sector of the economy to develop its own tariff grid. Currently, there is a situation when within the UTS itself there is a significant number of other internal tariff grids in various areas and industries. The UTS should be developed based on the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, as it is the unified act that contains a list of professions that exist in the economic life of Ukraine. Therefore, each of these professions must be assigned its own tariff coefficient and the corresponding category. Wage growth should depend on the employee's qualifications, level of education, and productivity

Ordinal Approximation for Social Choice, Matching, and Facility Location Problems Given Candidate Positions

In this work, we consider general facility location and social choice problems, in which sets of agents A and facilities F are located in a metric space, and our goal is to assign agents to facilities (as well as choose which facilities to open) to optimize the social cost. We form new algorithms to do this in the presence of only ordinal information , i.e., when the true costs or distances of the agents from the facilities are unknown , and only the ordinal preferences of the agents for the facilities are available. The main difference between our work and previous work in this area is that, while we assume that only ordinal information about agent preferences is known, we also know the exact locations of the possible facilities F. Due to this extra information about the facilities, we are able to form powerful algorithms that have small distortion , i.e., perform almost as well as omniscient algorithms (which know the true numerical distances between agents and facilities) but use only ordinal information about agent preferences. For example, we present natural social choice mechanisms for choosing a single facility to open with distortion of at most 3 for minimizing both the total and the median social cost; this factor is provably the best possible. We analyze many general problems including matching, k -center, and k -median, and we present black-box reductions from omniscient approximation algorithms with approximation factor β to ordinal algorithms with approximation factor 1+2β doing this gives new ordinal algorithms for many important problems and establishes a toolkit for analyzing such problems in the future.

Evaluating the Teaching of Academic Debate and Critical Thinking Course at Iraqi Kurdistan Universities

The study is based on the assumption that the current curricula in the Iraqi Kurdistan Universities (henceforth IKU) were not satisfactorily compatible with the scientific, technological and industrial needs of the Region’s markets. These curricula neither help students to develop their skills nor assist them in thinking creatively. Therefore, the new curricula are supposed to educate undergraduates to increase their capabilities in research, information dissemination and learning a second/foreign language. The Academic Debate and Critical Thinking (ADCT) course was added to all freshmen programs in order to prepare them for university life and make them proficient cadre for their future occupation. This course helps students to be critical thinkers and effective communicators. Since the new version of this course has been implemented for four years, this study attempts to evaluate the course and find out how it is taught, how effective it is, what topics are studied, what activities are used, what types of assessment are employed and what are the main challenges that teachers and students face in dealing with this course. The sample of the study are the teachers of ADCT and the first year students in the English departments in both Colleges of Basic Education at Salahaddin University-Erbil and the University of Sulaimani in the academic year 2017-2018. Two questionnaires were prepared using Google Form. The students’ responses revealed that debating is focused on, general social problems are debated, academic posters are used more, and group work is dominating class activities. As for teachers’ responses, they think that the objectives of the course are clear and achievable, discussion and debating are mostly used, and the assessment system suggested by the textbook is used accurately except for poster design which some teachers do not teach.

STUDY ON MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF CONFLICT-AFFECTED ADOLESCENTS AT EASTERN UKRAINE

Children and adolescents are one of the most vulnerable population groups suffered from the war. During adolescence, an individual’s psyche is being transformed and proved to be especially sensitive. This process of transformation becomes complicated and burdened with psychological trauma experienced in the situation of an armed conflict. Impact of everyday stress factors grows as combined with traumatic war events: watching military vehicles, shooting, killing, wounding, loss of family members and home, as well as general social, economic, and psychological problems. Not every psychological trauma results in mental disorder, however, those stresses often cause painful emotions and lead to maladjustment. The effective programs of psychosocial support to conflict-affected adolescents should take into account their individual characteristics and the specific situational context. For this purpose, we conducted psychodiagnostics study on mental health and emotional well-being of adolescents living near the front line in Eastern Ukraine. Totally, 222 high school students from Donetsk region aged 15 to 17 participated in the survey. The following questionnaires were used: Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Child Psychosocial Distress Screener (CPDS) assessing distress, emotional and behavioural problems of children and adolescents aged 8-18, and Mental Health Assessment Instrument (MHAI) screening mental health symptoms and disorders at conflict-affected populations. The study findings showed that the majority (94,7%) of the respondents experienced war traumatic events, having at least one symptom of psychological problems; 25,5% were experiencing depression, 34,9% did PTS, 7,8% had anxiety and 7,7% had problems with alcohol use. Women were more likely than males to experience stress and had mental health problems, while men had problems with prosocial behavior. Both genders had difficulties in peer relationships and behavior. The existing psychological problems were aggravated by hyperactivity, difficulties in behavior and relationships with peer and indicated worsened mental health and emotional well-being of conflict-affected adolescents in the Eastern Ukraine, risk of mental disorders and asocial behavior. These data should be taken into account for effective psychological support for this category of adolescents. &nbsp

THE ASPECTS OF PUBLIC RELATIONS IN THE STRUCTURE OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The article considers aspects of Public Relations in the structure of corporate social responsibility. Now in the world practice it is an integral part of the world business. It is shown that according to many experts, they are closely related and in large companies most workflows focus on PR with CSR. All the participants of business process have been involved in solving of this problem. And the nowadays concept of corporate social responsibility is the contemporary answer to it. The main communication between a company and the society is carried out through PR, so these employees are engaged in the process more than others. Thus, public relations became one of the main instruments in CSR interaction. Thanks to the creative field of PR, most of the classic tools, activities can be implemented in countless options in practice. The concept of corporate social responsibility is revealed, which includes: work with partners, social aspects of interaction with suppliers and customers, ensuring the safety of staff, environmental responsibility, policy and use of natural resources, interaction with authorities, government agencies and public organizations to address general social problems. The article focuses on the fact that the organization, as a cyclically developing system, cannot completely avoid crises throughout its existence. That is why it is so important to timely predict and forecast the crisis, to correctly determine its causes and possible mechanisms for resolving or mitigating the crisis itself. The aim of the work was to show that the role of corporate social responsibility in different crises is varied. Corporate social responsibility is one of the few ways out of the crisis. The concept of corporate social responsibility radically changes the role of corporations in the economy. Business is seen not only as a major catalyst for economic growth, but also as an institution that is actively involved in maintaining social stability in society. Keywords: public relations (PR), corporate social responsibility (CSR), crisis.

Associations of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity with psychological problems and suicidality in Chinese high school students: a cross-sectional study.

BackgroundThe body of literature regarding the associations between physical activity and psychological problems lacks consensus. Moreover, the role of gender has been scarcely investigated. The present study sought to fill the gap in the data by examining the associations, if any, between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), psychological problems, and self-harm behaviors based on different biological genders (male–female).MethodsA self-administered questionnaire was used to measure MVPA and multiple psychological problems, including depression and anxiety; general emotion, behavior, and social problems; Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD); conduct problems; and self-harm behaviors. Participants were a nationally representative sample of Chinese high school students (N = 13, 349). A multiple logistic regression analysis of MVPA, stratified by gender, was conducted on the risk of psychological problems and self-harm behaviors in the total sample.ResultsFor boys, a high frequency of MVPA was associated with a lower risk of depression (OR = 0.68, 95% CI [0.57–0.81]) and anxiety (OR = 0.71, 95% CI [0.53–0.96]) compared to the reference group. The moderate frequency of MVPA was associated with a lower risk of ADHD (OR = 0.73, 95% CI [0.56–0.94]) compared to the reference group. For girls, both MVPA groups were associated with a lower risk of depression (moderate MVPA: OR = 0.81, 95% CI [0.70–0.94]; high MVPA: OR = 0.67, 95% CI [0.54–0.83]) compared to the reference group. High MVPA was associated with a lower risk of ADHD (OR = 0.58, 95% CI [0.37–0.89]) compared to the reference group. Only moderate frequency of MVPA was associated with a lower risk of ODD (OR = 0.79, 95% CI [0.64–0.97]).ConclusionMVPA was associated with a lower risk of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ODD in a gender-specific and MVPA frequency-specific manner. This implies that for specific psychological issues, PA interventions that are modified based on gender and frequency of MVPA may be more effective than PA interventions without these considerations.

The Split Identity in Brain Friel’s Play PHILADELPHIA, HERE I COME! )

Colonized people suffer due to cultural struggle and identity loss. Brian Friel (1929–2015) dealt with the consequences of British colonisation of Ireland. This paper explores the fragmented identity in Friel’s Philadelphia, Here I Come!. It depicts the contradicting feelings of a young man who decides to leave his country. Still, he is unable to overcome his emotional loyalty to his past. Friel divides the protagonist into two characters played by two actors on the stage. The memories in the play form an integral part of identity being live images that satisfy inner needs. The characters’ inner conflicts and personal dilemma reflect general social problems.

Applying tools of digital economics in view of corruption risk minimization and anti-corruption consciousness shaping

Corruption, its scale, specificity and dynamics arise from general political, social and economic problems in the country. Today Russia is not passing only through a process of modernization but a drastic restructuring of public, state, economic, social and psychological foundations. Therefore, we can observe a scientific and practical need in studying issues of corruption counteraction. Corruption offences act as destabilizing factors in society and state functioning. They exert adverse affect on state governance and on public relations in general. Corruption holds back the economic growth of the country, reduces people confidence to the authority. The article investigates new technologies, which are being introduced within the frames of digital economics and considered as tools of corruption minimization. Such methods asanalysis and synthesis were used. The authors provide the definition of the smart-contracts and describe their basic advantages in view of fight against corruption. At the same time key problems arising at legal regulation of block-chain status are discussed. Block-chain technology provides an opportunity to take into account all materialized contradictions in different spheres of public and state life, which form the foundation for corruption, which proliferated actually in all countries of the world. The authors put forward their suggestions dealing with methods and ways of resolving the problem.

Sleep, Internalizing Problems, and Social Withdrawal: Unique Associations in Clinic-Referred Youth With Elevated Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Symptoms

Objective: We compared clinic-referred youth with ADHD + sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT; n = 34), ADHD Only (n = 108), and SCT Only (n = 22) on demographics, co-occurring symptomatology, comorbid diagnoses, and social functioning. Method: In total, 164 youth (age = 6-17 years, M = 9.97) and their parent(s) presented to an outpatient clinic for a psychoeducational assessment. Between-group analyses and regressions were used to examine study variables. Results: SCT groups were older and exhibited more parent-reported internalizing problems, externalizing problems, sleep problems, and social withdrawal on the Child Behavior Checklist. No significant differences emerged between groups on the Teacher Report Form. Regression analyses involving multiple covariates revealed that SCT symptoms were uniquely related to social withdrawal but not general social problems. Conclusion: Based on parent report, SCT symptoms have a unique relationship with internalizing problems, sleep problems, and social withdrawal. Future research should explore correlates of SCT in youth using multiple informants.

The Berber question and the self-identity problem of the North African indigenous population in the context of contemporary Algerian society

The Berber question in Algeria, which history goes back to the colonial period, now draws increasing attention to itself. The international media, illuminating the Berber question, inclines to conclusions about the real danger of a split in the society and the possible secession of some regions with high Berber population density. The article reviews the reasons for the occurrence of the ideas of Berber regionalism and autonomism. It also estimates the risks of such events for the integrity of contemporary Algerian society. The author analyzes the degree of disunity of modern Algerian society on the basis of the national-ethnic principle and comes to the conclusion that the Algerian society is sufficiently consolidated. The Berber identity today is built on the attitude to the general social and economic problems existing in remote regions. The author suggests that the Berber issue aggravation is connected with the desire of the Algerians to draw the authorities’ attention to the problem of marginalization of the country’s peripheral regions. The author concludes that the radical manifestations of Berberism, such as, in particular, Kabylian Autonomism and Separatism, are assessed as a threat to the integrity of the modern Algerian state not only by the Algerian authorities but also by the general public. At the same time, the Berber question in its broadest sense meets tolerance and sympathy in the Algerian society. In this article, we used the scientific literature in the Russian, European and Arabic languages, as well as Algerian media sources of recent years.

Combined monosystemic personalization drawing on the example of publicism by Vsevolod Ovchinnikov

The paper discusses such multidimensional phenomenon as personalization. Special attention is paid to the political context of personalization. There are three types of personalization: direct personalization (personalization on the basis of calling a person by name), indirect personalization (a person is characterized by naming the problems, events, animals; in the analyzed discourse they are referred to with the help of general philosophical, social , spiritual and ethnic problems) and combined personalization that has the features of the other two types. Based on the media text by V. Ovchnnikov (a publicistic cycle “A Branch of Sakura”) the research reveals combined monosystemic nature of personalization. A conclusion is made about the presence of multidimensional personalization in the works by V. Ovchinnikov that manifests itself in the unity of existence of a man and the nature, and in its activity-based, creative and consumer approaches. There are six components of personalization: knowledge-based, professional, emotional, volitional, creative and patriotic. Ambivalence lies in the basis of the text; there is V. Ovchinnikov’s definition of the Japanese nature: the Japanese nature is ambivalent, which manifests in a flexible and specific way. In some context this ambivalence appears in the understanding of a person’s narrow-mindedness. With the help of publicistic cognition and supported by personalization present in a publicistic text, readers comprehend the way of thinking of the people, their art, architecture, painting and aesthetic in general. The deep knowledge of Japan is found in the very beginning of V. Ovchinnikov’s book and in his reaction to the current issues.

The assessment of skin picking in adolescence: psychometric properties of the Skin Picking Scale-Revised (German version)

Background: Skin picking disorder has received growing attention since the release of DSM-5, yet there are no evidence-based assessment instruments for adolescent samples.Aim: The present study examines the psychometric properties of the Skin Picking Scale-Revised (SPS-R, German version) in adolescents.Methods: A total of 76 adolescents (96% female) completed the SPS-R, the Clinical Psychological Diagnostic System (KPD-38), and a questionnaire assessing demographics and clinical characteristics online.Results: The SPS-R had high internal consistency (α = 0.89) and significant small-to-medium correlations with reduced competence skills, psychological impairment, general life satisfaction, social support, and social problems on the KPD-38. Similar to prior findings for adults, an exploratory factor analysis suggested a two-factor model for the SPS-R in adolescents. Group comparisons failed to show significant differences on SPS-R scores between participants with and without dermatological conditions.Conclusions: The current results suggest that the SPS-R can be useful in adolescent samples as a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of skin picking severity. Future research investigating scale validity and factor structure in a clinical sample of adolescent skin pickers is warranted.

Reduced form implementation for environments with value interdependencies

We provide a unified and simple treatment of reduced-form implementation for general social choice problems and extend it to environments with value interdependencies. We employ the geometric approach developed by Goeree and Kushnir (2016) to characterize the set of feasible interim agent values (agent utilities excluding transfers) by deriving the analytical expression of its support function. As an application, we use the reduced-form implementation to analyze second-best mechanisms in environments with value interdependencies.

FUTURE BACHELORS’ TECHNOLOGY OF PROJECT LEARNING IN DESIGN GROUPS AS A MEANS OF INNOVATIVE TEACHING ACTIVITIES SUBJECT’S TRAINING

The article is devoted to the bachelor’s preparation, the basic conceptual idea of is to achieve efficiency and social and educational importance of integrative cultural and educational space as a system to ensure the teachers’ readiness to innovative professional work at school. The solution to this problem is in the competence-based approach to students’ design activity in the conditions of design groups as a means of mastering professionalvaluable innovative technologies of socialization of pupils and methodological tools of their motivation to the designer's creativity. The article notes that the process of mastering the future bachelors of professional competence in the design group based on the multidisciplinary integration and implemented in an environment of a complex interaction of its epistemological (scientifictheoretical) and value (spiritual practice) aspects. They are based on the integration of knowledge of different areas of science, the disclosure of the relationship and interdependence of general scientific, social, technological, aesthetic, economic, environmental, educational, psychological and other problems in the system of global problems of general and professional culture of the future teacher, teaching them values of subjectivation. Diversity and structure of such an interrelation and interdependence in project activities of students due to the specifics of scientific, aesthetic, design, technological, technical and economic means to achieve the desired, socially significant result of project activities. It also stems from the need of didactic thinking by students of dialectical nature monism categories and the principles of technology and aesthetics, and innovative teaching technologies and methods of students' teaching and the technological development of the world in accordance with the design principles of their development as active and creative subjects of social and labor relations. This article emphasizes that such a hike to the individual, paired or group (cooperative learning) curriculum design and creative activities at the university is considered the moral foundation of social development and creative subjectification small design teams of the future teachers of pedagogical ideals of a unified system. In this regard, project learning for future bachelors Design Group as substantive and procedural components of prescribed curriculum 44.03.05 "Pedagogical education" profile "Technology" aesthetic training at the university, is a key area of its initiation to human and professional values that form the basis of the cultural environment and therefore - one of the highest forms of socialization of the person as a teacher.
