TRENDS OF GLOBAL REGIONALIZATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MODERN SECURITY SPACE

One of the most expected manifestations of globalization has become a noticeable intensification of regionalization trends, which are characterized by the dominance of locally oriented values and priorities. The purpose of the article is the analysis of methodological approaches to the study of the modern stage of the development of globalization transformations in the world, which was called "global regionalization", the representation of conceptual guidelines for its study in the context of modern spatial paradigms, the rethinking of the categories of territoriality and regionalism, tracing the influence of global regionalization trends on the development of modern security strategies. The research hypothesis is focused on defending the priority role of global regionalization in the processes of forming the axial coordinates of the new system of structuring of the global world, creating mechanisms of geopolitical balance and security, determining the main trends and factors of fragmentation of the geopolitical space. It has been proven that the ruptures in regional structures caused by neo-turbulence are accompanied by an intense but not problem-free "superstructure" of the global level over the system of international relations. Significant acceleration of the pace of transformational changes under the influence of military conflicts and confrontations conditions the perception of the world system as a global-regional dynamic object and rethinking of existing theories of security development. The study of the content and forms of territorialization using the methodological tools of global regionalism will make it possible to integrate both theoretical approaches to the understanding of the modern stage of the development of globalization processes, and to actualize regional practices related to the safety of human life in the modern global-regional space.

RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE FORMATION OF THE SYSTEM OF STUDENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES

The article presents a historical and pedagogical analysis of the formation and development of the system of student scientific research activities in European institutions of higher education. The evolution of this system is studied, tracing its roots from the birth of the first universities in the Middle Ages to the modern stage of higher education development in Europe. Special attention is given to analyzing the impact of world wars, technological progress, and globalization on the development of student research. The article examines the peculiarities of organizing student research activities in leading European universities, including the University of Oxford, the Technical University of Munich, and Leiden University. The role of student scientific societies in cultivating a research culture and shaping the scientific outlook of students is also analyzed. Attention is paid to the issue of financing student research activities, with various mechanisms for supporting student research considered, including state grants, university funds, and private company programs. The components of the student research activity system discussed ‒ such as the integration of research into the educational process, international cooperation, use of advanced technologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and alignment with societal needs ‒ demonstrate their effectiveness in training new researchers who can address modern challenges and contribute to the development of science and society. The purpose of the article is to conduct a historical-pedagogical analysis of student research activity systems in different European countries. The research methods applied: historical-pedagogical, literature analysis, synthesis, comparison, and theoretical generalization.

The Dual Status of Judeo-Georgian

The purpose of this paper is to show the dual nature of the status of Judeo-Georgian based on its studies, theories, and methods adopted from variationist sociolinguistics, distinctive linguistic repertoire approach to Jewish languages, using descriptive/synchronic, diachronic, and comparative-contrastive methods. Based on the traditional studies in Georgia in the twentieth century, Judeo-Georgian was considered one of the varieties of Georgian, and the main works were about presenting its features and searching for similarities from standard Georgian or its dialects. The purpose of such studies was to give Judeo-Georgian a status in the Georgian linguistic space (be it a dialect of Georgian, a sub-dialect of Georgian dialects, an ethnolect, an ethno-socilect). Today, in the 21st century, Judeo-Georgian studies have acquired new dimensions. It is already considered as one of the varieties not only of Georgian but also of Jewish languages. In the works of comparative linguistics of Jewish languages, there exist common features characteristic of all Jewish languages and Judeo-Georgian too is familiar with these criteria. Therefore, searching for its similarities and differences with other Jewish languages has begun. From this point of view, the understanding of Judeo-Georgian has acquired a new dimension at the modern stage and has become interesting in two ways: 1. as an ethno-dialect of Georgian with its sub-dialects; two as one of the Jewish languages, which has a certain place in the modern classification of Jewish languages.

Диалектика централизации и децентрализации управления в СССР и современной России

The examination of the evolution and modernization of the governance system of socialist industry and, in particular, the alternation of its centralized and decentralized forms within the command system will make it possible to understand the reasons for the rise and fall of the Soviet economic system, as well as the resulting difficulties of the modern stage of the country’s development. In this regard, the aim of this article is to investigate the causes and factors influencing the transition between centralized and decentralized governance in the USSR and transitional Russia. This study involved a review of literature detailing the most notable periods of centralization, such as the industrialization in the USSR (1928–1937) and the state reforms of the 2000s in the Russian Federation, as well as periods of decentralization, including the establishment of local People’s Commissariats of governance (1953–1964) and the market reforms of the 1990s. The research was based on the works of both domestic and international scholars. The analysis revealed a systemic need for alternating waves of centralized and decentralized governance. Using the examples of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, the article delineates the main phases of governance transition, economic indicators, and the factors influencing these processes.

How to Achieve the Ecological Sustainability Goal of Ecologically Fragile Areas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: A Multi-Scenario Simulation of Lanzhou-Xining Urban Agglomerations

The future of the ecologically fragile areas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is a matter of concern. With the implementation of the Western Development Strategy, the Lanzhou-Xining Urban Agglomeration (LXUA) has encountered conflicts and compromises between urban expansion, ecological protection, and farmland protection policies in the rapid development of the past 2 decades. These deeply affect the land use layout, making the ecological sustainable development of the ecologically fragile areas of the QTP a complex and urgent issue. Exploring the impact of different policy-led land use patterns on regional ecosystem services is of great significance for the sustainable development of ecologically fragile areas and the formulation of relevant policies. Following the logical main line of “history-present-future”, the Patch-level Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model, which explores potential factors of historical land use, and the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) model were used to construct three future scenarios for the modernization stage in 2031 dominated by different land use policies in this study. These scenarios include the Business-as-Usual Scenario (BS), the Cropland Protection Scenario (CP), and the Ecological Protection Scenario (EP). The study analyzed and predicted land use changes in the LXUA from 2001 to 2031 and assessed carbon storage, habitat quality at different time points, and water yield in 2021. The results indicated that land use changes from 2001 to 2021 reflect the impacts and conflicts among the Western Development Strategy, ecological protection policies, and cropland preservation policies. In 2031, construction land continues to increase under all three scenarios, expanding northwards around Lanzhou, consistent with the actual “northward expansion” trend of Lanzhou City. Changes in other land uses are in line with the directions guided by land use policy. By 2031, carbon storage and habitat quality decline under all scenarios, with the highest values observed in the EP scenario, the lowest carbon storage in the BS scenario, and the lowest habitat quality in the CP scenario. Regarding water yield, the LXUA primarily relies on alpine snowmelt, with construction land overlapping high evapotranspiration areas. Based on the assessment of ecosystem services, urban expansion, delineation of ecological red lines, and improvement of cropland quality in the LXUA were proposed. These findings and recommendations can provide a scientific basis for policy makers and planning managers in the future.

Genesis of Music Video Clip as a Popular Form of Modern Audiovisual Culture: Experiments with Music Visualisation

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the development of the music video clip in the context of the historical interaction of musical and audiovisual culture. Research methodology. General scientific methods of cognition were applied, in particular analysis and synthesis, systematisation of theoretical data, the method of structural-functional analysis, which made it possible to reveal specific aspects of the interaction of music and various forms of artistic practices in the space of audiovisual culture; a typological method, with the help of which various features of the music video clip in the structure of modern audiovisual culture are revealed. Scientific novelty. The genesis of the music video clip as a popular form of modern audiovisual culture is studied; the problem of integration of visual images and music as part of artistic practices in historical retrospect is considered. Little-known works of foreign scientists, the problems of which are correlated with the subject area of research were introduced into scientific circulation. Conclusions. The genesis of the music video clip testifies to the significant role of artistic practices in the process of image and music interaction at the early stages, which contributed to the invention of new creative ways of representing the imaginary – animation and montage proposed by avant-garde artists; videos and video installations created by mastering the television image; music videos that opened a new dimension for experimentation, becoming an influential form of modern culture. Artistic history of analogue interactions between cinema and music during the 20th century demonstrates the antecedent conditions of production, perception, and socio-political context that were necessary for the mass popularization of the music video as an established form. Thanks to the early experiments in the formation of visualised music, the music video as a new form of audiovisual art gained cultural value, which allowed it to play a significant role at the modern stage. The music video played and continues to play a key role in the socio-cultural space. The technological evolution from analogue to digital means of production and display has accelerated the development of both the form and the aesthetics of the music video, which emphasises one of the most important roles of art in society – to provoke thought and encourage a rethinking of social, political and cultural conditions and surroundings, using this is the main means of communication, including popular music.

Biblical Stories on the Medieval and Early Modern Stage: A Transnational Approach

Abstract This contribution offers a survey of the field of biblical drama research and of several approaches. It makes a plea for a transnational approach of studying early modern drama, especially biblical drama. Such a transnational approach is a continuation of many of these earlier approaches, makes use of some and breaks with others. The contribution also shows that it is important to include Neo-Latin drama in the study of early modern drama at the cost of losing sight on a crucial constituent part of the development of this drama and this theatre. Neo-Latin drama contributed to the knowledge and reception of the Bible among the elites and among the ordinary people who attended performances of these plays or of one of the many translations and adapations.

Evolution of social standards and guarantees in the legal system of Ukraine: current challenges and development prospects

The study is devoted to the evolution of social standards and guarantees in the legal system of Ukraine, the analysis of modern challenges in the field of social protection and the determination of prospects for their further development. In the conditions of economic and political transformations, ensuring the appropriate level of social standards is an urgent task. The article examines the historical development of social standards from the Soviet period to the modern stage of Ukraine’s integration into the European legal space. The impact of international law, in particular the European Social Charter and ILO conventions, on the formation of social standards is analyzed. The importance of adapting national legislation to international standards for increasing the level of social protection and bringing Ukrainian policy closer to European standards is emphasized. The influence of economic and social factors, such as crises, demographic changes, social inequality and migration processes, which create serious challenges for the state, is considered. Special attention is paid to social guarantees for vulnerable population groups, such as pensioners, people with disabilities, internally displaced persons and combatants. The main problems of these groups in the realization of the rights to social protection were identified and recommendations were given for improving the mechanisms of social support. The author emphasizes the need to reform social policy to create a more effective and fair system of social protection. Contemporary challenges in the implementation of social standards are explored, including economic instability, demographic changes, military conflict, inefficiency of public administration, and corruption. Emphasis is placed on a comprehensive approach to overcoming them, increasing the financial stability of the social system, improving legal regulation and cooperation with international organizations. Prospects for the development of social standards depend on the state’s ability to ensure the sustainability of social policy, adapt legislation to international standards, and increase the availability of social services. The successful implementation of these measures will contribute to Ukraine’s integration into the European legal space, which is strategically important for the country’s development. The article offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of social standards in the legal system of Ukraine, identifies the main challenges and provides recommendations for the further development of social policy.

Linguistic dynamics and language policy in Kazakhstan

The research relevance of language policy methods, as well as the current language processes in society, is predefined by an urgent need to form nation-states with their own language and culture. The research aims to create an idea of the language changes in Kazakhstan during the period of independence and assess the language policy and its prospects at the present stage. The research employed the following methods: comparative-comparative, statistical (basic), analytical-synthetic, and graphic (auxiliary). This research examined the main parameters of language modernisation in Kazakhstan in recent years, studying the key perspectives regarding language policy. The results of the population census in Kazakhstan for 1999, 2009 and 2021 were analysed in the research. Statistical data was presented in the form of figure diagrams and in tabular form to increase the efficiency of the perception of information at the expense of clarity. A comparison was made between different stages of the formation of the Kazakh language identity (from the beginning of the twentieth century to the modern stage). Particular attention was paid to the study of the parameters of the educational system and the implementation of the concept of the trinity of languages studied within the framework of secondary and higher schools. The modern language policy of Kazakhstan was evaluated in terms of the prospects for the coming years (up to 2025). The dynamics of changes concerning the language in Kazakh society were tracked. This research can be used for further linguistic research related to sociolinguistic surveys, studying the language situation in different countries around the world, and forming an idea of how different methods work in the field of language modernisation.

Экологизация жизнедеятельности как системный элемент экологического управления

The greening of life is a modern stage of socio-economic and social development of society. The sustainable development of the economy, technology and technology have a negative impact on the environment and lead to the gradual depletion of natural resources. The development of environmental ideas among the population of the country, the restoration of natural objects, the preservation of the natural environment, the conduct of human economic activity taking into account respect for nature – all this is the greening of life, and environmental management is aimed at the ecological reorientation of business processes and social education of a person. The article presents the theoretical and practical aspects of the greening of life in the modern economy, a regional assessment of the environmental management sys-tem is carried out, practical recommendations are given within the framework of the development of a new national project "Environmental well-being".

Нужна ли современным теориям экономики методологическая культура политико-экономического исследования?

In conditions when the main meaningful meaning of the choice of the Russian way forward is formed, the problem of the formation of economic theory, adequate to the modern stage of development of national and world economies, whose economic systems are in a state of deep transformation, is actualized more than ever. Economic science in the “new reality” is faced with such phenomena as the socialization of the economic life of modern society, the economization and financialization of politics and the politicization of the economy in the context of the globalization process, again highlighting the question of the place and directions of the development of political economy in economic science. Therefore, there is a serious question about the paradigm of modern economic theory, which would absorb the reflection of these new processes. For this reason, this material is a kind of attempt to integrate into the ongoing discussion about the place and development of political economy, about expanding the subject of economic theory [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8], offering an author’s methodological perspective on the principal issues of discussion. Participation in the discussion is also important from the point of view of the position of research teachers leading disciplines included in one capacity or another in economic theory. And this means - developing the criterion-value socio-economic worldview of future specialists, their methodological culture of research.

Медиатизированный дискурс православного студенчества об РПЦ

The article is devoted to the analysis of the modern Orthodox conservative mediatized discourse among student bloggers on the Telegram messenger platform. The relevance of the study lies in the lack of development of both the topic of mediatization of Orthodoxy and the topic of studying Orthodox conservatism in modern sociology. The study of this phenomenon in the work took place through the prism of a conceptual approach, which received the name "mediatization of religion" in scientific sociological literature. The scientific problem is that studies of the mediatization of Orthodoxy are no longer a new field, but their number is still small. A large number of religious groups that are currently forming and functioning are outside the field of view of researchers. The figurative approach, which took shape in the German school of studying mediatization, was chosen as the research method. The figurative approach re-actualizes the concept of “figuration” by Norbert Elias and considers modern communicative figuration in media through four components: communicative practices, media ensemble, frame of relevance and constellation of actors. The communicative figuration of modern Orthodox conservatism in the Telegram messenger was taken as the basis of our study, since this platform provides opportunities for discussion on social and theological issues. The purpose of the article is to describe this communicative figuration through its four components. In this regard, the objectives of the study were: a description of the context of formation and features of the modern stage of studying the mediatization of Orthodoxy; a characteristic of the 4 components of the communicative figuration of modern Orthodox conservatism among young people. The empirical part of the study was based on a series of expert, semi-structured interviews with the authors of Telegram channels included in the youth category and who are students of higher educational institutions. In total, 30 interviews were collected from March to August 2024, of which 5 were selected for the article. The results of the study demonstrated that at the moment there is a constellation of actors of modern Orthodox conservatism, in the youth pole of which a group of students can be distinguished. Orthodox conservative students build their own identity, based on the Orthodox tradition, but only in the form of moral prescriptions. They are practically not integrated into the existing structures of the Russian Orthodox Church. The frame of relevance of the communicative figuration of Orthodox conservatism considers Orthodoxy as an integral part of modern Russian culture and humanitarian science. But in the frame, there is also an opposition to liberalism, including church liberalism, which occurs on issues of the foundations of society.

Место науки конституционного права в системе юридического знания: преодоление границ формальной науки

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the role of modern constitutional law in the system of sectoral legal sciences. The author notes that jurisprudence in general is a formal science, the subject of which are formal systems, which, mainly, it postulates itself - specific branches of law. Until a certain period (the formation of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the adoption of the new Constitution of the Russian Federation) state law could also be considered as a sectoral science, the subject of which was mostly the system of state power organisation. However, unlike mathematics (which is also a formal science), jurisprudence possesses regulatory potential and relates to the impact on human behavior. In this way it cannot be encapsulated exclusively in the system of legal constructions outside the «life world». Research methods. A set of methods was used in the work: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, dialectical approach, method of comparative jurisprudence. Results. The author proves that the special role of constitutional law in the modern stage of development is that, on the one hand, through processes of constitutionalisation of other branches of law constitutional law claims to be a general system. In a certain sense, the science of constitutional law is gradually taking the place of theory of law in legal epistemology.

Formation of a scientific school on genetic resources, selection and genetics of grapes in Russia from N.I. Vavilov to the present day

While discussing the establishment of scientific school of grapevine genetic resources, breeding and genetics in Russia, its formation is of undoubted scientific importance not by one individual only, but generally by studying and analyzing the contribution of generations of scientists in the country, focusing, as a baseline, on fundamental researches and stated theories of N.I. Vavilov. Analyzing the historical and modern stages of grape breeding methodology in conjunction with source material – genetic resources, and those determined by the specificity of pattern genome manifesting and inheriting genetically determined traits, it is necessary to highlight two aspects: the process of grape gene pool formation, the origin of individual varieties in the process of natural evolution, and task-oriented creation of new cultivars in the process of experimental evolution. Understanding of the methodology of grapevine natural morphogenesis in due course generated the methodology of targeted creation of new cultivars. Natural hybridization, natural mutagenesis and natural selection as initial methods of grapevine morphogenesis for generations of Russian scientists made it possible, using descriptive ampelography, to further move to directed hybridization, induced mutagenesis and induced polyploidization in combination with artificial selection. And only recently the transition from breeding at the organismal level to genome editing at the gene level became possible using modern bioengineering methods and various approaches to gene engineering.

The Basic Principles and Criteria for the Selection of Terms for the Compilation of the Latin-Kyrgyz Educational Dictionary for Students of a Medical University

The modern stage of the world's development is caused by a large flow of information and rapid changes in language. Today, in the current circumstances of international communication, it is necessary to know about the empirical sphere of the translated primary source, to have the skills to search for highly specialized terms. The term is an inseparable part of the scientific sphere, a means of transforming professional information and performs the function of semantic support in understanding the professional concept. The educational dictionary plays an important role in the educational environment, providing students and teachers with the necessary vocabulary and explanations of terms in various subjects. This is one of the key means of teaching a foreign language. It helps students build vocabulary, master grammatical structures, and improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Therefore, when compiling an educational dictionary, it is necessary to adhere to certain principles. Its main task is to provide students with clear and accurate vocabulary that helps them understand the educational material and communicate effectively in a professional language. Compiling a Latin-Kyrgyz educational dictionary for medical university students is an important task that requires strict adherence to certain principles and rules. First of all, it is important to keep in mind that this dictionary is designed to facilitate the process of teaching medical terminology to students, and therefore should be as accurate, complete and accessible as possible. Effective compilation of an educational dictionary requires careful planning, collaboration between language specialists and teachers, as well as taking into account current trends in education and the use of technology.

Modern development trends of marketing technologies in Ukraine

Introduction. The modern stage of the development of the Ukrainian economy requires a constant search for the latest business tools and technologies. Technologies for promoting products and services to the market are gaining special relevance. Marketing activity requires creativity, new ideas and new innovative technologies. The purpose of the paper is to analyze modern marketing technologies used in Ukraine and to identify the main trends in their development. Results. Since the beginning of the 21st century, marketing concepts have undergone significant changes due to globalization, the spread of remote services, economic crises, and changing consumer preferences. Well-known marketers predicted a transition from traditional marketing technologies to new tools, an increase in the quality of goods, an individual approach to customers and a systematic approach to the organization of companies. In 2024, in Ukraine, we highlight the following groups of marketing technologies: use of the latest IT for advertising, information collection and analysis technology, focus on consumer identity, data protection, and innovations in communications. In particular, mobile marketing is gaining popularity due to the growing number of smartphone users, the active use of video content, and the involvement of bloggers and influencers. An important role is played by social networks, which integrate with e-commerce, facilitating shopping directly through social networks. Artificial intelligence technologies contribute to deep personalization and automation of marketing processes, and voice search stimulates the adaptation of content for conversational search. Custom content and socially responsible marketing increase brand authenticity. Considerable attention is paid to privacy and data protection. Innovative technologies such as AR and VR are changing the perception of information, creating new opportunities for interaction with customers. Conclusions. The development of digitalization in Ukraine and the world introduces new trends in the marketing activities of enterprises. Traditional technologies are being replaced by digital technologies that are more progressive and convenient for consumers. At the same time, enterprises should be clearly aware of the need to segment the market and identify customers who are ready to accept new trends in the use of modern, innovative marketing technologies. The further development of the enterprise depends on the thoughtful work of marketers and correctly defined marketing technologies.

Signs of the subjective side of murder as a typical legal construction

The basic law of our state enshrines the conceptual provision, according to which human rights and freedoms and their guarantees determine the content and direction state activities. And therefore the protection of a person from criminal offenses, the protection of his rights, freedoms and legitimate interests is one of the most important tasks of state policy. One of the most important issues in the application of the criminal law is the definition of which one the criminal offense was committed by a person and under what criminal law the offense is foreseen. This issue is resolved in the process of criminal qualification Offenses Demarcation of the components of individual criminal offenses is important significance in the process of carrying out criminal-legal qualification. Meaning of legal practices, precedents and doctrines of criminal law for proper qualification criminal offenses are difficult to overestimate. The subjective side of criminal offenses (crimes, criminal misdemeanors) is an important part application of the law on criminal liability. The demands of today require a clear understanding of the theory of the subjective side of the criminal offense and practice. The modern stage of the development of the domestic science of criminal law and process determines the need for further research of scientific views on the theory of qualification criminal offenses and their successful application by law enforcement agencies, which will unconditionally contribute to the correctness and unity of judicial practice in solving tasks criminal proceedings. At the same time, ensuring the unity of practice is implementation the principle of legal certainty, which is embodied in compliance with general principles criminal proceedings established in Art. 7 of the Code of Civil Procedure, by means of the same application specific rule of law in similar legal relations. Correct qualification of a criminal offense for a committed socially dangerous act is mandatory a condition for the administration of justice in accordance with the law and one of the guarantees of compliance the convention requirement of the human right to a fair trial, provided for in Article 6 of the Convention on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms of 1950. Key words: murder, subjective side of criminal offenses (crimes, criminal misdemeanors), theory of qualification of criminal offenses, qualification criminal offenses on subjective grounds, court practice.
