Information and Environmental Media Hygiene as an Object of Sociological Analysis

Relevance. The widespread use of modern information and communication technologies, in particular, social Internet media, forms a special space (media ecosystem), which has a significant impact on the formation of public opinion, values and behavior of people. Particularly significant in the realities of expanding the boundaries of the media space of the culture of modern society, in the context of human interaction and the media ecosystem, is the researchers' appeal to the problem of determining the basic principles of the information and environmental media hygiene, considered as the ability of society to resist the destructive influence of media discourse in the post-truth era and related to the study of the influence of the media on mental and moral health of a person. The purpose of this work is a sociological analysis of the information and environmental media environment as one of the directions of countering the risks and dangers of the modern media environment. Objectives: disclosure of the essence of the main risks and dangers of the modern media environment; analysis of the relationship between the concepts of "information hygiene" and "information and environmental media hygiene"; definition of the basic principles of information and environmental media hygiene both from the side of modern social media (primarily Internet communication) and from the side of modern active users of the media environment (both media consumers and media producers). Methodology. The article uses such general scientific methods as comparative analysis, synthesis, abstraction and generalization. The research is based on the basic principles of a systematic and structural-functional approach. An ecological approach to understanding the media space was chosen as the main theoretical and methodological guideline. Results. The paper presents the results of theoretical and methodological analysis of the phenomenon of information and environmental media hygiene. The basic principles of the information and environmental media hygiene are defined and formulated both on the part of modern social media (primarily Internet communication media) and on the part of modern active users of the media environment (both media consumers and media producers). Conclusions. The modern media space and the developed media environment, in addition to providing various benefits and privileges to meet the information needs of media users, also carries large-scale risks and dangers, which, first of all, include infodemia and infoxification. Due to the fact that these negative phenomena have serious consequences for society, it becomes especially important to define and develop the principles of information and environmental media hygiene, which must be observed both by modern social media (primarily Internet communication) and by active users of the media environment (both media consumers and media producers).

Formation of strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions to ensure the workforce capacity of the post-war industrial recovery: condition and prospects

Abstract The authors of the article justified the need for the formation and implementation of a strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions in order to create favorable conditions for ensuring workforce capacity for the post-war recovery of Ukraine's industry. The author's research is based on the structural-functional approach. Its purpose is to identify and justify the possibilities of forming a strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions to ensure the workforce capacity of the post-war industrial recovery based on the analysis of the condition and specifics of their activities and interaction under conditions of full-scale armed aggression. The content and logic of the author's research included the following: 1) assessment of the general state of the domestic industry, key challenges and threats affecting it under conditions of martial law; 2) identifying the dynamics of changes in the supply of labor to industry, existing sharp contradictions, as well as positive changes in the recovery of certain branches of industry; 3) determination of key guidelines for the renewal of the system of institutions and mechanisms that regulate employment in industry and affect the justification of priorities regarding the processes of formation of workforce capacity for the recovery of Ukrainian industry; 4) analysis of the current state of the system of collective agreement regulation, the activities of key partners of the partnership, the functions of the National Tripartite Socio-Economic Council and the activities of specialized state structures regarding the prospects of personnel support for the recovery of Ukrainian industry; 5) conceptualization of the vision of the formation of a strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions to ensure the workforce capacity for the post-war recovery of industry, with the definition of priority tasks. It is substantiated that the modernized system of social dialogue is the basic tool for achieving mutual agreement and synergy in the implementation of strategic partnership in Ukraine. This system should be aimed at solving strategically important issues regarding the stability of the national economy, ensuring the workforce capacity for the post-war development of the industrial sector. Key guidelines for updating the system of relevant institutes and mechanisms are: 1) focusing on the concept of decent work, following the principle of the International Labor Organization (ILO) – 'build back better', as well as not focusing on the indicators of the pre-war level, but rather on achieving a qualitatively new level of functioning of the economy, social labor sphere, Ukrainian industry; 2) implementation of the European integration course and ensuring compliance of the system of relevant institutes in the industry with EU requirements and standards. Keywords strategic partnership, post-war recovery, workforce capacity of Ukrainian industry, trade unions, employers, state, social dialogue

The Policy of Preserving National Linguistic Identity on the Example of the Welsh

Introduction. The article examines the British policy pursued in the 16th – first half of the 20th centuries in relation to the autochthonous languages of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The author characterizes the language policy of Great Britain in this period as a policy of linguistic nationalism of the English language and discrimination against the national languages of other peoples. The article also discusses the main legal acts aimed at expanding the use of the Welsh language and consolidating the status of the Welsh language as the national language of Wales.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the article used the method of the structural-functional approach, as well as modern principles of scientific knowledge of complex social phenomena and processes, based on a combination of macro- and microsociological research. The materials of the article were the works of scientists on the stated issues.Results of the study. It is concluded that the Welsh language has managed to maintain its independence to a greater extent than other autochthonous languages of the peoples of Great Britain, and in modern conditions there is a tendency to increase the number of people using the Welsh language in everyday life. The main findings of this article were the demonstration of specific discriminatory measures applied by the UK in relation to the Welsh language, including the ban on the use of Welsh as the language of legislation, the language of judicial proceedings and restrictions on teaching in Welsh.Discussion and conclusion. The study identifies the reasons and constitutional and legal factors for the transition from a policy of language discrimination to a policy of dialogue of cultures, as well as the influence of public figures advocating the preservation and expansion of the use of the Welsh language on the language policy of Great Britain. The constitutional significance of the Welsh Language Regulations 2011 is stated, and for the first time in the Russian-language doctrine the content of this law is analyzed.

Accommodation of activities of Ukrainian libraries under marital law

The purpose of the article is to provide an argumentative identification of a qualitatively new direction in the activities of Ukrainian libraries under martial law – socio-productive. The methodological basis of the article is based on general scientific methods such as abstract and logical, analysis, cognitive, and synthesis. Dialectical, objectivity, systemic, and structural-functional approaches to scientific knowledge are applied. The scientific novelty of the article consists in revealing the peculiarities of the functioning of Ukrainian libraries under martial law. Such traditional areas of activity in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as information and communication, information and advisory, scientific, socio-cultural and local studies, should be supplemented with socio-productive ones. The proposed material enriches the theory of modern librarianship about the changing role of libraries in society under the influence of socio-political processes, determining the new quality of the Ukrainian library institute as an active participant in nation-building processes. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the application of the acquired best experience of library practice in the activities of library institutions of all systems and departments in order to positively strengthen their image and reputation. Conclusions. In the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the library social institute immediately reacted to the events in the state, changing the algorithm of its functioning with a reorientation to socio-political requests. Among the main traditional areas of activity, the socio-productive one definitely stood out. That is, the library has shown itself as an adaptive system that rationally transforms the work algorithm in order to maintain the optimal state in accordance with the changing conditions of the external environment. The genesis of the strategy for the development of the Ukrainian library and information sphere is consistent with the strategies of national economic, social and humanitarian development

Relationship of Innovation Management and Investments in State Policy Development

The conceptual-categorical research apparatus was further developed by clarifying the essence of the concepts, namely: "innovation" as a new or significantly improved product (goods, services) or process introduced into use, a new sales method or a new organizational method in business practice, work organization places or in external communications; "state innovation and investment policy at the regional level" as a complex, dynamically developing, hierarchically and spatially organized socio-economic system that functions within the boundaries of a certain territory, on which economic innovation and investment processes and dependencies between market entities are carried out taking into account the characteristic territorial features of the innovative development of the regions. It has been established that the following are key technologies, the implementation of which will be important for creating a new basis for the development of the economy, financial and non-financial services: digital information processing technologies (creation of new products, upgrading of traditional industries, management efficiency, the Internet of Things), including including blockchain technology (financial innovations, smart contracts, sharing economy); 3D printing (production of new products, customization of production while maintaining the effect of scale); artificial intelligence (substitution of labor with capital - especially in the field of telecommunications, unmanned transport, finance; machine learning as a prerequisite for customization of production); virtual reality (production of new products, expansion of the spectrum of solvable tasks, especially in the sectors of entertainment, health care, education); 5G communication (communication services, management efficiency, Internet of things, unmanned transport). It was noted that innovative activity is not a one-time activity, but is a system of measures for understanding the idea, introducing it into production, and scaling technologies. The innovation and investment policy must be implemented within the framework of the strategic plan. As a result of the evolution of theoretical views and accumulated practical experience, innovation and investment activities are understood as various scientific, innovative, investment, organizational, technological, financial and commercial actions that lead to the implementation of innovations. It is noted that the nature of innovation and investment state policy at the regional level is determined by the degree of state intervention in economic processes, which is why the levels of regional development differ. Such interference is manifested through the implementation of tax, financial, credit, licensing, price, etc. policies. Regardless of the scale, innovation and investment activity at the regional level is defined from the point of view of the following positions: from the standpoint of institutional theory - as a field of activity, that is, a set of institutions that ensure the production, distribution and use of new, economically beneficial knowledge; from the point of view of the network approach - as a process by which modern technologies and innovative businesses based on them are produced; from the standpoint of a structural-functional approach - as a hierarchically organized spatial system that ensures the maximization of scientific and technical progress while observing regional system limitations.

Assessment of Sanctions against Russian Science by Foreign Researchers: Diversity of Approaches

Introduction. The introduction of restrictive measures (sanctions) against Russian science, aimed at preventing Russia's participation in international scientific collaboration in both bilateral and multilateral formats, has become a prominent feature of modern international relations. For the first time in many years, international collaboration in various scientific fields has encountered significant political and economic constraints, leading to Russia's withdrawal from joint programs and projects with key partner states in the scientific sphere. The study's significance lies in the necessity to develop a theory related to this type of sanctions, given their unprecedented nature. A comprehensive understanding is needed, reflecting foreign scientists' views on the sanctions: whether they deem them justified and if they are willing to continue cooperation in any capacity. This will become a basis for modifying Russia's science and technology policy in the context of international cooperation. The subject of the study is the range of approaches foreign experts have toward the structure, scale, and implications of sanctions against Russian science. Object: Conceptual systematization of foreign researchers' perceptions regarding the phenomenon of anti-Russian sanctions in the scientific field. Tasks: identify the reasons behind the increased interest of foreign researchers and experts in the issue of international sanctions against Russian science; assess the level of consensus within the global scientific community regarding the need for such sanctions; identify the cause of bias among supporters of anti-Russian sanctions in the scientific field; determine the extent of foreign analysts' interest in the impact of sanctions on both Russian and global science; identify the pragmatic aspects of the current model of sanctions against Russian science. Degree of topic development: This type of research has not yet been conducted in either Russian or foreign science. Methods. General scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, abstraction and generalization, comparison), systemic and structural-functional approaches were used along with specialized scientific methods, such as discourse analysis, meta-analysis, and stochastic factor analysis technique. Result and Discussion. The article identifies three groups of approaches, along with their underlying arguments concerning the category of sanctions under consideration: radical, moderate, and liberal. The author demonstrates the predominance of a moderate approach, which aligns with official decisions to sever institutional scientific cooperation with Russia while permitting personal contacts. Conclusion. The international research community, aiming to gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of sanctions against Russian science on Russia and the rest of the world, pursues two objectives. The first objective is to identify strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of sanctions and justifying their necessity while mitigating their negative impact on global science. The second objective is to find effective strategies for implementing scientific sanctions, which could potentially be applied against other countries in the future. Considering the positions and approaches of foreign researchers toward the phenomenon of anti-Russian scientific sanctions is crucial not only for developing the theory of scientific sanctions but also for shaping the concept of Russian science and technology policy under new circumstances. The novelty of this study lies in its first-ever attempt in both Russian and foreign scientific literature to conceptualize the range of foreign expert discourse, which is characterized by diverse views and approaches toward sanctions applied to Russian science. The article contributes to the relevant field of research, specifically the theory of international sanctions in the scientific sphere, by arguing for the need to complement the analysis of the objective content of sanctions with an analysis of their subjective evaluation by the expert community.

Напрями розвитку методології регулювання хімічного складу і властивостей чавуну в ливарному виробництві на базі ймовірнісного підходу

From the standpoint of systemic and structural-functional approaches, the state and prospects of development of the methodology for regulating and predicting the chemical composition and mechanical properties of grey synthetic cast iron intended for casting production are analysed. Attention is focused on the key intersections of the technological process of manufacturing castings for critical applications. The features, disadvantages, and advantages of the known methods for calculating the charge and adjusting the percentage of chemical elements in the cast iron composition directly during its melting are considered. Ways to take into account the instability of the chemical composition of scrap metal, ferroalloys, and other materials when forming the charge to ensure the quality of pig iron in accordance with the requirements of finished product standards are shown. A promising way to solve this problem in foundry is to use a probabilistic approach and the Monte Carlo method. The article presents formulas for calculating the strength and hardness of cast iron castings with lamellar graphite depending on its carbon equivalent and degree of eutecticity. The peculiarity of the proposed formulas, which gives them enhanced reliability and validity, is that the carbon equivalent and the degree of eutecticity of cast iron in them are determined by the Monte Carlo method using a probabilistic approach with regard to the consideration of the ranges of variation of the content of chemical elements in the cast iron composition regulated in the standard for foundry products. It is noted that the widespread use of thermal derivative express analysis of liquid cast iron in industry is constrained by the lack of a database of reference cooling curves with certain property indicators (chemical composition, microstructure, mechanical and other properties) of cast irons at foundries. Keywords: foundry, cast iron, chemical composition, properties, control, regulation, methodology.

Conceptual model of regional system of organ donation and transplantation

Annotation. The aim – to substantiate the conceptual organizational and functional model of the regional system of organ donation and transplantation. In order to solve the problem of development of transplant medical care for the population of the region, an attempt was made to develop an organizational and functional model of the regional system of organ donation and transplantation. The study uses general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, modeling, interpretation of scientific data, as well as systemic and structural-functional approaches. The developed model of the regional system of organ donation and transplantation is represented by a comprehensive regional system of engaged in the field of donation and transplantology, which integrates the activities of health care institutions that have the status of territorial donor bases and that are regional centers for organ transplantation. From the point of view of a systemic approach, this model provides transplant coordination of the activities of the health centers that are part of it, a clear algorithmization of actions at the stages of the donor process, organizational and methodological support of the donor bases and an interdisciplinary approach aimed at involving a number of regional organizations to assist the regional system of organ donation and transplantation in matters that depend from their competences. The conceptual model of the regional system of organ donation and transplantation is patient-oriented and aims to ensure the availability of highly specialized transplant medical care for the population of the region. The regional system of organ donation and transplantation model is presented as a system, a complex of interconnected regional health centers in the field of organ donation and transplantation, united in an effective regional system, the combined interaction of which provides a synergistic effect.

Improved Functionnectome by dissociating the contributions of white matter fiber classes to functional activation.

Integrating the underlying brain circuit's structural and functional architecture is required to explore the functional organization of cognitive networks. In that regard, we recently introduced the Functionnectome. This structural-functional method combines an fMRI acquisition with tractography-derived white matter connectivity data to map cognitive processes onto the white matter. However, this multimodal integration faces three significant challenges: (1) the necessarily limited overlap between tractography streamlines and the grey matter, which may reduce the amount of functional signal associated with the related structural connectivity; (2) the scrambling effect of crossing fibers on functional signal, as a single voxel in such regions can be structurally connected to several cognitive networks with heterogeneous functional signals; and (3) the difficulty of interpretation of the resulting cognitive maps, as crossing and overlapping white matter tracts can obscure the organization of the studied network. In the present study, we tackled these problems by developing a streamline-extension procedure and dividing the white matter anatomical priors between association, commissural, and projection fibers. This approach significantly improved the characterization of the white matter involvement in the studied cognitive processes. The new Functionnectome priors produced are now readily available, and the analysis workflow highlighted here should also be generalizable to other structural-functional approaches. We improved the Functionnectome approach to better study the involvement of white matter in brain function by separating the analysis of the three classes of white matter fibers (association, commissural, and projection fibers). This step successfully clarified the activation maps and increased their statistical significance.

Executive-Legislative Relationship and National Development in Nigeria: Focus on the 8th National Assembly (2015-2019)

This study accessed the impact of executive-legislature relations on national development in Nigeria with special emphasis on the 8th National Assembly which ran its course from 2015 to 2019. The objective of the study is to determine the extent to which the relationship between the executive and the 8th National Assembly have impacted on national development in Nigeria within the period under review. This study anchored on structural-functional approach propounded by Gabriel Almond, ex-post facto research design, documentary method of data collection and qualitative descriptive method of data analysis. It discovered that the fragile relationship between the executive and the 8th National Assembly negatively impacted on national development in Nigeria, so it went further to recommend that the National Orientation Agency must take it as a paramount duty to conduct periodic seminars for our legislators and executives in order to tune their minds toward national development.

On the question of the goals and content of political education in modern Russia (based on the course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood”)

The subject of the study is Russian political education in the context of modern challenges. Using systemic and structural-functional approaches as methodological grounds, the author analyzes the goals and content of political education as structural elements of a unified system, subject to certain patterns in their functioning. In addition, the connection between the system of political education and the external environment, which is the socio-political practice of Russian society and the activities of state institutions, is considered. Factors that contribute to increasing the importance of political education in modern conditions are identified. The works of domestic and foreign researchers devoted to political education, as well as social and humanitarian knowledge in general, were used. Their recommendations are compared with the concept of the new academic discipline “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood,” introduced in Russian universities on September 1, 2023. The importance of the educational component in the educational process of a modern university is revealed, since the content of education includes not only a scientific, but also a value component. Conclusions are drawn about the need to form in the political consciousness and culture of students the values of citizenship and patriotism, as well as the formation of historical memory, historical consciousness, the idea of connection with their country, its past, present and future. The principle of narrowly professional training of specialists is criticized, since it contradicts not only the education of a citizen, but also the humanization of education, its orientation towards creating conditions for the realization of freedom and self-development of the person.

The Problem of Balancing the Size of Sanctions in Achieving a Balance of Interests (Using the Example of Customs Duties)

The relevance of the proposed research, both from theoretical and practical perspectives, lies in addressing the issue of the relationship between the magnitude of sanctions concerning the balance between public and private interests. The main objective of this study is to explore optimal approaches to address issues related to imposing penalties for violations of customs regulations. The results of this research could enhance control procedures and facilitate a balanced determination of penalty sizes in customs law while considering public interest and property rights protection. The study is based on the application of various scientific methods, such as dialectical analysis and synthesis, structural-functional approach, formal-legal and formal-logical analysis, comparative-legal approach, among others. It encompasses an examination of the interplay between public and private interests, as well as an analysis of the system of public interest and potential conflicts arising during the formation of public funds. The research investigates the nature of compulsory payments, such as taxes, fees, and customs duties, illustrated through the example of customs payments. Additionally, it sheds light on issues of administrative liability for customs violations, emphasizing the significance of adhering to specific time criteria when making customs payments and the consequences for the state if these criteria are not met. Furthermore, the study explores the interrelation between material and procedural impact on regulating the behavior of the participants involved in the relationships, emphasizing that these two aspects cannot be separated. It also affirms that the state has the sovereign right to establish taxes, fees, and other payments within its territory to fulfill its functions and meet societal needs. Moreover, the research examines the relationships among various interest groups of participants, such as societal interest, state interest, territorial community interest, government entities, and obligated individuals, while also discerning the division of these interests into disproportionate groups and their interconnectedness. Overall, the research holds significant importance in understanding the issues and prospects within the domain of customs law and administrative responsibility. The findings have the potential to contribute to the improvement of legislation and control procedures, fostering the development of a transparent and efficient legal system capable of safeguarding the interests of all parties involved, including society, the state, and private individuals.

Lump-Sum Payment for Purchasing Residential Premises as an Additional State Guarantee for State Civil Servants of the Russian Federation: Exercise of Right

The subject of the study is the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation on the state civil service of the Russian Federation. These norms provide additional guarantees for state civil servants of the Russian Federation for lump-sum subsidy aimed at acquiring accommodation. The purpose of the study is to consider the legal significance of a lump-sum subsidy for buying accommodation, to identify the conditions for the right to this subsidy, to determine whether it is mandatory or optional for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to exercise their powers to provide employees of the subject of the Russian Federation with a lump-sum subsidy for the accommodation, to propose amendments to the legislation. The methodology of the study are such scientific methods as formal legal, structural functional approaches, comparison, research and analysis of studies and regulations. The study uses scientific research in the field of social security law and economic sciences. As a result of the study, the paper substantiates that a lump-sum subsidy for accommodation is provided in order to ensure the social security of civil servants of the Russian Federation. The right to this payment should be assigned only to those civil servants of the Russian Federation who need it and who, without the state support, are not able to change their financial situation and acquire accommodation. The paper proves the need for codifying the conditions for the right to this lump-sum subsidy. Using the analysis of federal and regional legislation that defines the powers of public law entities in the sphere under consideration, the paper proves the obligatory adoption of legal acts aimed at exercising the right of a civil servant of the Russian Federation to a lump-sum subsidy for the accommodation, regardless of the finances of the relevant budget. In order to have a unified legal regulation of the relations under consideration, the study substantiates the need to combine basic and additional state guarantees for civil servants of the Russian Federation, and presents specific proposals for changing federal legislation.

Педагогическое сопровождение развития саморегуляции учебной деятельности старшеклассников

<p>The article describes the author's system of pedagogical support for the development of the learning activity self-regulation in high school students educated in specialized classes. Theoretically, the system is based on the structural-functional approach to the study of self-regulation proposed by V.I. Morosanova. According to its principles, the system was designed not only to develop the skills of the learning activity self-regulation, but also to create conditions for their development. As the main pedagogical means aimed at achieving its goals, the program proposes special master-classes on the development of different levels of self-regulation of educational activities, creating the situations of responsible choice related to the students’ personal and professional development and assisting to high school students in making their professional choice, consulting on the plans for their personal and professional development. The study had its purpose to verify the effectiveness of the system developed by the authors. An experimental testing was carried out on a sample of 208 high school students educated in specialized classes of Moscow schools. The research methods were selected to measure the levels of development of the operational and regulatory-personal components of self-regulation (V.I. Morosanova's "Self-regulation Profile of Learning Activity Questionnaire"), as well as the value-semantic level of subjective regulation ("Levels of Development of Personality Subjectivity" by M.A. Shchukina and the methodology of A.A. Azbel, A.G. Gretsov for studying the status of professional identity). The results of a comparative study between the experimental and control groups indicate the effectiveness of the developed system of pedagogical support: on average, the relative increase in the levels of the learning activity self-regulation in the high school students was about 20-30%.</p>
