SOME OF THE CONCEPTUAL AND REGULATORY LEGAL PROBLEMS OF SCIENTIFICRESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The subject of article was the discussion by the scientific community of the country of the draft Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Science and Technology Policy" and, in this regard, to try to find a solution to some of the problems existing in research activities. The authors of the article discuss concepts that are an important basis for the form and content of the future law, because the conceptual documents outline in detail the priorities of the development of science in important spheres of life of the Kazakh society, substantiate the demand for the adoption of this law. The authors of the article, for example, see the main problem as the lack of communication between the scientific self-supporting centers of the university and teaching staff, who should be interested in commercializing their scientific product. The characteristics of the state of legal regulation through comparative analysis should show the advantages of foreign law enforcement practice and how to properly use their positive experience for the development of legislation in their own country. The future Law on Science and Technology Policy should radically change approaches and generate trends. Of interest are the problems raised by the author in the field of science and technological development, the preparation of scientific research in higher educational institutions, the transformation of many universities in the country into research universities, the involvement of teaching staff in collective scientific activity in the form of grant research, and of course, the issues of commercialization of Kazakh science. The final provisions of the authors of the study boil down to the fact that the new Law on Science should work only if the vector is changed towards the integration of science and business, where business structures will really help scientists achieve the highest results in the implementation of commercialization projects, by involving university teaching staff in research activities, so that they implement their scientific results in education, in the future they opened new production facilities, in order to organize new jobs, tax revenues to the budget, there must be implement a real "reset" of their system in favor of the "human-centric" component.

Socio-cultural deviations in the regulation of social interactions of young people

Social interactions in the youth environment are regulated not only on the basis of generally accepted models, but also on the basis of goals-principles that are formed among young people themselves as a response to changes in social and cultural conditions of life. From the point of view of the institutionally approved norm, these principles are socio-cultural deviations. At the level of consciousness, they are represented in the form of various configurations of meanings-judgments that are realised by different groups of young people in the process of interactions. One of the manifestations of deviation is the regulatory meanings orienting to separation and self-assertion at the expense of others. The data obtained in the course of a nationwide survey conducted by the Centre for Sociology of Youth of ISPR FCTAS RAS in 2021 are analysed. The links between labour, education and interpersonal interactions with sociocultural deviations of young people in social reality are considered. The incorporation of sociocultural deviations into the process of regulating interactions in the youth environment is reflected in young people's justification of the practices of bullying, provocation, evil pranks and disrespect for teachers as acceptable ways of interaction in important spheres of life. Their use is accompanied by the assignment of certain semantic characteristics to labour, communication and education in youth groups. In the course of data analysis, it was found that judgments about bullying and trolling differentiate young people by the meaning of labour "feeling of their usefulness". In addition, the judgement of bullying differentiates youth on the meaning of "forced necessity". The links of respondents' approval of judgements about bullying, trolling and teacher with the meaning of communication "joy, happiness" and "inner need" were revealed. It was also found that judgements about prank and teacher differentiate young people according to the meanings of education "opportunity to make a career" and "development of abilities".

FUNDAMENTALS OF THE TOURIST DESTINATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

In the present period, tourism has become one of the priority areas of development of economic and cultural spheres of life in many countries of the world. Actions in this direction are actively taking place in Kazakhstan, considering the identification of the main development factors specified in the strategic and programmatic planning documents. The purpose of the study: to develop methodological approaches and practical recommendations for managing the process of developing tourist destinations with the active participation of the main tourism entities in order to promote them as a tourist destination in tourism. The basis of management of the tourist destination is to bring the tourist product of the region to the market and ensure its competitiveness in order to achieve a high level of well-being and quality of life. At the same time, the organizational and economic relations arising in the process of managing the development of the tourist destination are the mechanisms for realizing the tourist and recreational potential in the regions and promoting the tourist product. The article deals with the evaluation mechanisms of the management system of tourist destinations.

Англификация повседневной жизни как инструмент построения общества потребления и элемент современной когнитивной войны

The article is devoted to the problem of the Anglicization of the Russian language that in recent decades has experienced a constant pressure from the English language in all spheres of life of a resident of modern Russia. Areas of everyday life where English is used are analyzed. Arguments are given in favor of the fact that the anglicization of everyday life is one of the most important tools for building a consumer society and the means by which the main goal of cognitive warfare - the alienation of the human psyche and its transformation into an object controlled from the outside - can be realized.analyzed. Arguments are given in favor of the fact that the anglicization of everyday life is one of the most important tools for building a consumer society and the means by which the main goal of cognitive warfare - the alienation of the human psyche and its transformation into an object controlled from the outside - can be realized.

Students as partners of research projects in Russian universities: opportunities and barriers

The article shows the potential and barriers to the realization of the conception, treating students as partners in research projects of universities. The foreign experience of implementing this conception in various spheres of academic life is presented. The positive effects and limitations of the conception of students as partners in research are summarized. Based on the results of the empirical study «Scientific mentoring in Russian universities: institutional models, professional roles, everyday practices», the prerequisites and barriers to the implementation of this concept in Russian universities are identified. The administrative, economic and social barriers caused by both the institutional and organizational conditions for the implementation of university science and the peculiarities of the established model of relationships in the academic environment between different generations of researchers are revealed. The positive impact of student involvement in grant projects is shown. It is proved that this form of interaction between “adults” and young researchers creates prerequisites for the implementation of the principles of the concept of students as university partners.

Educational Environment and a Smart City

In the modern world, the integration of digital technologies into various spheres of life stimulates the development of the concept of smart cities, where digital innovations are used to optimize the management of resources, infrastructure and education. The article discusses the importance of digital education in the context of a smart city, emphasizing its role in the formation of the educational environment and the development of society.

An Overview of Caribbean and African Literary Theories

As it is believed, Africa is the cradle of humankind, where humans also left for other parts of the world during the slave trade and also during World War I and II. At the abolition of the slave trade, many African descendants settled where they could call home, like in the Caribbean islands and other parts of the world, as a result of the ancestral and cultural attachment between Africa and the places where the descendants of the slaves where we could see some similarities in their ways of life. We can see these facts also translate into the African and Caribbean writers' literary works, among other spheres of life. The analyses show that while both literatures share common concerns related to colonial legacy and the quest for identity, they are distinguished by unique historical and socio-political contexts that influence their narrative perspectives. For example, African literature tends to focus more on the effects of colonization and decolonization on the African continent, while Caribbean literature often emphasizes the dynamics of the diaspora and the multiple facets of Caribbean identity. In addition, this study examines the use of language and literary techniques specific to each region, as well as the contributions of major literary figures such as aimé Césaire, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Monique Ilboudo, Werewe Liking, Wole Soyinka, Maryse Condé and many others. Finally, this comparison offers a deeper understanding of the richness and diversity of postcolonial literature while highlighting the unique voices and shared experiences of African and Caribbean writers.

THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE DISCURSIVE FIELD CONTEMPORARY CHOREOGRAPHIC ART

The rapid penetration of social media into all spheres of life dictates the need to shift research attention towards the interactions between social media and art. Global conditions of prevalence have made media communications a leading field for obtaining and representing information. The multimedia tools of modern media in the field of art allow for the continuous expansion of its audience. Consequently, there is a constant search for varied mediation technologies between cultural institutions and society. The aim of the study is to examine the phenomenon of social media as a condition for the representation of the artistic process. The methodological foundation of the research is based on the key concepts of media research pioneers G. M. McLuhan, N. Luhmann, R. Margreiter, and others, as well as the works of several domestic scholars (G. Tasbergenova, G. Begembetov, and others). The main tasks of the article include clarifying key concepts and their theoretical content, as well as analyzing the strategies and tactics of art management in the Astana Ballet theater in the context of the interaction between contemporary choreographic culture and social media. The scientific and practical significance of the research is justified by the need to study and master creative tools for promoting cultural products in the media field of the art industry and the informational mission of art management as a mediator between the author, the art product, and the recipient. In Kazakhstan’s modern media space, a certain experience has been accumulated in influencing society through regular communication about various events in artistic life. An analysis of the PR digital tools used by the Astana Ballet theater reveals their potential for image-building. In its early stages, the theater utilized traditional PR methods with minimal digital content. However, the pandemic amplified the marketing potential of social networks, and now a large part of Kazakhstan’s society turns to media content. The key conclusion is the necessity for the theater to be present not only in sources of information but also in places where like-minded people communicate. The value of this research on the role of social media in the context of contemporary choreographic theater is highlighted by the practical significance of modern art management tools, which open up opportunities for cultural events to influence Kazakh society.

Experiencing Meaningful Work through Corporate Volunteering: The Other as a Source of Meaning

AbstractGlobal social, ecological and economic crises are contributing to the need for meaningfulness in different spheres of life, including work, as an increasing concern to employees. However, the current understanding of meaningfulness is bound by its normativity and thus does not meet the uncertainty present in today’s work. We utilize the Levinasian concept of “the Other” to provide a non-normative conceptualization of meaningfulness in the context of corporate volunteering (CV) and empirically explore work meaningfulness in CV projects in Poland and Finland. We find work meaningfulness to arise from proximity to the Other and the otherness of the Other. Our study contributes to the discussion on meaningful work in the fields of business ethics and management studies through a non-normative reconceptualization of meaningfulness.

Some aspects of formation labor behavior during the period of martial status

Problem setting. Modern political, economic, and social demands of society pose tasks to the state that require urgent solutions and are of urgent importance for all spheres of life. Therefore, a significant number of studies are focused on solving theoretical and practical issues of legal regulation of social relations during the war and in the conditions of martial law on the territory of Ukraine. Solving issues of the possibility and specifics of citizens’ realization of the right to work are of great importance. Since, during the period of martial law, the norms of labor legislation are not applied in the part of relations regulated by the Law of Ukraine “On the Organization of Labor Relations in the Conditions of Martial Law” (hereinafter the Law). According to the Final Provisions, it is valid for the period of martial law in Ukraine, introduced in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On the Legal Regime of Martial Law”, and becomes invalid from the moment of termination and cancellation of martial law. During the period of martial law, its norms have an overriding force over the norms of the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine. The provisions of this Law significantly narrow the rights of workers compared to peacetime. Therefore, the relevance of the toolkit of labor law as a regulator of social relations in the field of labor relations and ways of realizing the right to work by citizens under martial law is increasing. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Analysis of recent research and publications. Such scientists as: T. Gerasimov, T. Glynska, V. Lytvynenko, O. Lukyanchikov, D. Novikov, A. Shvets and others were engaged in the study of the theoretical and practical essence of the chosen topic. In addition, the following scientists paid attention to the legal regulation of labor relations under martial law in Ukraine in their works: V. Andriiv, M. Lukashevich, M. Doronina, N. Yesinov, L. Nikolayeva, D. Shvets, and others. Purpose of research is to investigate labor behavior, which is a complex of individual and group actions and deeds that determine the direction and intensity of a person’s performance of their labor function and factors that negatively affect labor behavior. And also consider the legislation of Ukraine, which concerns the regulation of labor relations during the period of martial law and analyze the changes that took place in the field of labor relations after the declaration of martial law in the state and how they affected the labor behavior of the employee. Article’s main body. A special role in solving this issue is played by the principles, methods and ways of motivating work, which act as a leading organizational and economic tool for managing the work behavior of employees. In this regard, solving both theoretical and practical problems of labor behavior management through the use of new socioeconomic methods of labor motivation, which would make it possible to increase the interest of workers to work productively and effectively in various spheres of the economy, becomes important. Modern labor relations increasingly single out the employee’s behavior as an important characteristic of his labor potential, the quality of which depends on the effectiveness of the team’s work and the survival of the enterprise, institution or organization in an unpredictable economic environment. Therefore, the study of labor behavior as a form of employee activity and the determination of the main factors influencing it is quite relevant in this period of time. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Formation of labor behavior of employees is an actual and complex process that requires a systematic approach. According to the results of the research, it was established that the essence of labor motivation is to develop such a system of incentives that would satisfy all the needs of the employee in the best way and would interest him in achieving better results of his activity. This will help increase labor productivity, increase the income and profits of enterprises, as a result of which the material situation of employees will improve, which is the key to successful motivation to work.

May 1968 Protests in France in the Collective Memory of the European Commission Politicians

Introduction. The May 1968 protests are an important place of remembrance in the history of Europe. Methods and materials. The author uses the methods of studying collective memory to analyze the image of the May protests in the collective memory of the European Union. The article analyzes how former members of the European Commission recall the events of 1968 within the framework of The European Commission 1958–1973: History and Memories of an Institution project and how the May protests are woven into the history of European unification. The project was implemented in the early 2000s with the aim of compiling an oral history of the European Union and the European Commission in particular. Analysis. The author summarizes the image of the protests and highlights the general features of the description of the events of 1968. Based on examples of interviews with Fausta Deshormes La Valle, Odile Benoist-Lucie, Franz Froschmaier, and Raymond Barre, the article summarizes a comprehensive picture of the crisis year of 1968, which affected both the political, social, and economic spheres of life in Europe. Results. The memory of the protests, actualized through the interviews, correlates with the first reaction of European politicians in 1968. A significant difference is the selectivity of memories. Politicians in interviews do not recall the violence that the protests caused or the eclecticism of the slogans of the rebel students; the positive image of the protests dominates. The common motif present in most of the interviews is the feeling of young people’s disappointment in the ideals of a united Europe. The May protests are presented as a turning point in the history of Europe, which prompted European politicians to act and further deepen the integration.

Limitation of Human Rights and Freedoms amid New Global Challenges (Lessons from the Pandemic)

Globalization has had far-reaching effects on all key spheres of public life, leading to mixed outcomes, both positive and negative. One of the recent global trends is the fast and large-scale spread of viral infections, which has profoundly reshaped the economic landscapes, political environments, and government systems of most states. As the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, governments worldwide were forced to impose unprecedented restrictions that interfered with fundamental human rights, such as the freedom of movement and speech, to curb the virus spread. It sparked rigorous debate among the academic community and practicing lawyers. This article overviews the measures taken by Russia and other states in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The obtained results highlight the need to legally establish new conceptual frameworks related to disease control, as well as to develop clear legal guidelines on optional and mandatory steps that public authorities should take in order to ensure the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population. Therefore, it was concluded that certain legal provisions must be specified to define the grounds and extent to which the rights and freedoms of citizens can be limited in case of viral epidemics.

Ethnolinguistic Bonds in the Speech of the Don and Ukrainian Dialects of the Volgograd Region

The article substantiates a comprehensive approach to defining the concept of ethnolinguistic bonds, characterizes the connection with the subject, the object of research within the framework of the problem posed, which is relevant for the anthropocentric paradigm of scientific knowledge. Taking into consideration the methodological principles developed in cultural-and-linguistic dialectology and ethnolinguistics, on the basis of the analysis carried out upon the facts extracted from the recordings of the Volgograd region inhabitants’ speech the author’s vision of the extralinguistic and intralinguistic foundations of the concept under consideration is presented; its definition is proposed. The integrative techniques of ethno-linguistic unity fixation are described. They are manifested by the Don and Ukrainian dialects speakers (and their descendants) in the means, which comprise the peculiarities of dialect speakers’ lexicon (monolingual and bilingual, monoethnors and biethnors) observed on the territories of mixed residence shared by the Don Cossacks and Ukrainian settlers and their descendants. These lexical bonds are classified. They are shown to reflect indirectly the universally significant realia of the surrounding world (people, objects, phenomena, processes and signs), as well as the traditions, represented in the collective cultural and historical heritage of the Slavic ethnic groups in the material and spiritual spheres of life on the territories of mixed residence. The peculiarities of interdialectal interaction in the formed speech continuum of the poly-Slavic society, who perceive themselves as Russian people, are determined.

The framing of Sikh Americans: White Christonormativity, discursive hyper(in)visibilities, and racialization of religion

ABSTRACT We use discourse tracing analysis to examine Sikh media representations across four U.S. newspapers in the last two decades. Guided by the theory of hyper(in)visibility, our study focuses on how representations are othered and erased through various types of discursive hyperinvisibilities, such as myopic, faulty, hazy, and selective visibilities deployed within White Christonormative structures of interpretation. Such othering and erasure then result in the looping of media reports emphasizing stereotypes, misidentification, homogenization, and simplification over 18 years, reinforcing the racialization of religious minorities in a unidimensional way that perpetuates minoritization through discursive tactics of hyper(in)visibility of multiple marginalized groups. These representations have implications that trickle down into real-world intercultural interactions across various spheres of life, including multicultural community settings and workplace interactions, and extend to policy implications such as surveillance architectures. The practical consequences result in intercultural communication outcomes involving hate speech, violence, stereotyping, and microaggressions.

Problematika nepomenovaných zmlúv v občianskom práve a ich uzatváranie s pohľadom de lege ferenda

One of the key branches of private law is the law of contractual obligations. In addition to innominate contracts, which are most often used in practice, a category of innominate contracts and a special category was created, the category of so-called mixed contracts. In practice, innominate contracts are a tool frequently used to anchor contractual relationships in all spheres of life. The institution of innominate contracts is not a new one; it is based on the principle of dispositional autonomy, which is known to have already existed in ancient Roman law. In the Slovak Republic, there are two codes, one specifically regulating civil law and the other regulating commercial law. Civil law in the Slovak Republic is regulated in the Civil Code, which regulates the natural persons’ mutual rights and obligations. In contrast, commercial law, which is regulated separately in the Commercial Code, regulates the mutual rights and obligations of legal persons, and the rights and obligations that exist between natural persons and legal persons. This means that the institution of innominate contracts is found in the Slovak Republic not only in civil law but also in commercial law, i.e., in two legal codes, when the subjects of obligation-law relations are dependent on the use of analogy-based legal reasoning due to the absence of contractual types when regulating the rights and obligations of the various subjects of their obligations.

The Necessity of Artificial Intelligence and its Impact on Electronic Transactions

The technological revolution, fueled by the sweeping changes of the information age, has profoundly impacted all spheres of life. This transformation has revolutionized the realms of inventions and communications, setting the stage for the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has evolved into a formidable force that rivals human intellect, increasingly becoming a focal point of research aimed at integrating it across all aspects of daily life. Its capacity to address individual needs and provide tailored solutions has made it an indispensable tool in today’s digital world. This rapid scientific progression and the burgeoning interest in AI have established it as a critical necessity, offering significant benefits in various fields. These advancements have transformed traditional, human-controlled mechanisms into intelligent systems that emulate human reasoning and decision-making processes. This shift is particularly evident in the realm of electronic transactions, where AI has played a pivotal role in advancing these technologies and has been instrumental in the development of smart electronic contracts.
