ЦЕЛОСТНОСТЬ ЛИЧНОСТИ В КОНТЕКСТЕ ЭСТЕТИЧЕСКОЙ ПАРАДИГМЫ

The problem of preserving the personal integrity in a situation of cardinal changes is considered. The complexity of considering the question of the relationship between stability and the transformation of value orientations in the context of personality psychology is shown. The productivity of the analysis of the problem of holism and the dynamic connection of value orientations from the standpoint of the aesthetic paradigm is analyzed. The role of society and cultural values as a large system that changes the perception and internalization of culture by a person is shown. In this context, a large system can be considered as a ratio of culture and subculture, information about which changes not only the content of the subculture, but also the culture as a whole. The options for maintaining harmony between development and sustainability, dynamics-stability of values are considered, in which the space of subculture is created as a subsystem in the general space of the cultural field. At the same time, such a subculture can exist autonomously, without coming into conflict with a large system of values of society, such as, for example, the variant of the subculture created by Dali and Gala. Other versions of information subsystems of culture, both in science and in art, can gradually change the information field of culture as a whole in such a way that it practically merges with the content of a particular subcultural subsystem (quantum physics, atonal music, impressionism). The role of cultural capital in maintaining the integrity of the individual and its variability in a situation of multiple and cardinal transformations of society is revealed. The connection of the constant value of the first level of cultural capital as an investment in the development of subsequent generations with a large information system of culture is shown. An analysis of different levels of cultural capital and their content in different situations and with varying degrees of changes is given. The connection of these levels and the degree of their variability with the motivation of a person and the standards of behavior at different times and in different cultural contexts is shown. It is proved that different variants of behavior in the cultural field can be considered as different types of dynamic stability of the personality.

Amendment of the Corruption Eradication Commission Act and Its Impact on the Constitution

This study analyzed the sub-system factors influencing the amendment of the Corruption Eradication Commission Act (KPK Law) from the Cybernetics theory and the impacts on the Constitution. According to this theory, there are various kinds of sub-systems, where one sub-system is interrelated with other sub-systems. Each of the sub-systems referred to will influence each other based on the primary function of each of these sub-systems, such as the cultural sub-system, which has the primary function of maintaining patterns, the social sub-system as a function of integrity, the political function as a function of achieving goals, and the economic sub-system as an adaptive function. This doctrinal legal research employed statutory approaches and concepts and found that changes in the KPK Law are influenced by the political sub-system factor, particularly the strong political interests of the House of Representatives and the Government. As a result, the amendment to the KPK Law is undemocratic because it does not fulfill the formal and material principles. In addition, it does not philosophically fulfill the function of law, leading to constitutional values violation.

CHALLENGES IN EXECUTION OF COURT DECISION TO STRENGTHEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT CHARISMA

Law No. 51 of 2009 concerning the Second Amendment to Law no. 5 of 1986 concerning the Administrative Court (Administrative Court Act) stipulates that there are two types of execution of administrative court decisions, namely automatic execution, and hierarchical execution. In hierarchical execution, legal awareness is needed from the government to carry out court decisions. Often the government is unable or unwilling to implement these decisions for various reasons. This paper uses the Legal-normative method, which is an approach based on legal materials by examining concepts, theories, legal principles and legislation, as well as literatures related to the object of writing. In this paper, it is found that there are decisions of administrative courts that cannot be implemented/executed (non executable) because of the poor quality of the decisions, and because of changes of circumstances. The challenges faced in establishing the administrative court's power and charisma by implementing its decisions according to the legal system theory approach are: 1.) the existence of floating and counterproductive norms, as well as non-executable decisions (sub-system of legal substance); 2.) the absence of officials specifically authorized to enforce implementation of court's decisions (sub-system of legal structure), and 3.) low public trust for the courts (sub-system of legal culture).

Evaluation and prediction of the level of high-quality development: A case study of the Yellow River Basin, China

High-quality development (HQD) is the requirement for adapting to the changes in the main contradictions of Chinese society and achieving sustained and stable development. Based on the discussion of its connotation, this study constructed an evaluation model covering five aspects of society, economy, resources, ecology, and culture. Then we used the obstacle diagnosis model to analyze the main obstacle factors of restricting the improvement of HQD level. Finally, 4 future policy scenarios were designed under the system dynamics (SD) model to simulate the variation of the future development in each province along the Yellow River Basin (YRB). The results show that: (1) The level of HQD in the YRB changed dynamically over time, and it has also improved to varying degrees in all provinces. (2) The cultural subsystem hindered the further improvement of the HQD; for the indicator layer, the proportion of cultural industry in GDP is the main obstacle factor for most provinces. (3) Speeding up economic development and increasing ecological protection is the optimal development path of the YRB. Scientific evaluation of the regional HQD status and simulating the development situation under different scenarios can improve the accuracy and efficiency of managers’ decision-making.

The Films of Aleksey Fedorchenko: Between Cultural Mythmaking and Playing with a Document

This article studies the films of Alexey Fedorchenko in order to discover the dominant features of his artistic world. This is based on the guiding principles of documentary filmmaking, with its commitment to fact, the reliability of archival sources, trust in physical reality, and addressing the laws of the art of presentation, where a free play with reality becomes a dominant feature in its most diverse forms from documentation to mystification. The director creates his own coherent world of fiction and non-fiction, based on strategies of the cultural matrix of mythmaking as a means of understanding and experiencing the “arrangement” of the world. The purpose of the article is to study Fedorchenko’s films in order to discover the dominant feature of his artistic world. The first methodological basis for the analysis of his films is a cultural concept of art where art is understood not only as the self-consciousness of culture, but also as an object that depends on all subsystems of culture, both material and spiritual. The cinematography of Fedorchenko stems from a special type of artistic consciousness, which determines (predetermines) the subject and conceptual sphere of his artistic expression. Analysing the films of Fedorchenko, the author identifies the dominant feature of his artistic consciousness, which is focused on a reflective attitude towards culture and traditions. This type of artistic consciousness is understood as culture-centric. The culture-centric type of artistic consciousness ignores nature and its mimetic imitation, but at the same time, the dominating idea determining the source of artistic creation becomes a conscious attitude to culture as material that requires interpretation in a new context, as a space that generates meanings. Fedorchenko uses myth as source material and cultural space in his films. However, he does not deal with the cinematic adaptation of myths. He creates them on his own, using the logic of a mythological narrative, the peculiarities of mythological space and time. That is why the second methodological basis of the article is the classical concepts from A. Losev, R. Barthes and M. Eliade. The author mostly refers to documentaries and feature films by the director, as well as his mockumentaries. The study identifies certain algorithms in which documentary historical events acquire the characteristics of myth, and mythmaking becomes a key to understanding the truth.

The Effectiveness of Gratification Arrangements as Part of Corruption Crimes in Indonesia: A Theoretical Study in Talcott Parsons Perspective

This research aims to examine the crime of gratification as part of the criminal act of corruption, which will be seen in Talcott Parson's perspective. Corruption today is a problem for developing countries and has become a world problem that requires integral and transnational handling. One of the most disclosed forms of corruption today is corruption in the form of gratuities. This research method uses normative juridical research with the approach of laws, concepts, and principles and collects primary legal material in the form of Law 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes. The results of this study found that the Cybernetics Theory, which Talcott Parsons coined, views the problem of alleged gratification as being strongly influenced by the economic sub-system, this is because a decision that is made has a significant impact on anyone, so it is not surprising if there is a lot of price bargaining. Moreover, the least impact is the cultural sub-system because this sub-system is only the economic sub-system's impact.

HUKUM ADAT DALAM PEMBAHARUAN DAN PEMBANGUNAN HUKUM NASIONAL

Efforts to form a national legal order that serves national interests (as directed by the GBHN), of course, must pay attention to existing laws (customary law / laws that apply in society and colonial law) as well as laws that are currently developing in the international world. This paper will discuss legal development in Indonesia in terms of a systems approach with customary law as one of the inputs. The process of development (formation) of national law by itself will be influenced by the state of the cultural subsystem, political subsystem and economic subsystem that currently exists and applies in Indonesia. In the context of customary law as input in order to achieve the goal of becoming National Law, its position as input itself has also been influenced by these subsystems.

Scientific novelty of the research lies in identifying and substantiating content features of foreign-language education at higher education institutions in accordance with fundamental characteristics and functional manifestations of personal intellectual culture subsystems of future teachers as a benchmark for education intellectualisation at higher education institutions. As a result of the study, the researcher has justified the main requirements for selecting content of foreign-language education at higher education institutions to ensure practical implementation of the target component concerning fostering of personal intellectual culture in undergraduate pedagogical students by means of foreign-language education.

Fuzzy Neural Network-Based Evaluation Algorithm for Ice and Snow Tourism Competitiveness

This paper researches and analyzes the evaluation of the competitiveness of ice and snow tourism, uses the improved fuzzy neural network algorithm to process the system flow diagram of ice and snow tourism development through the function and characteristics of the power system of ice and snow tourism, and finally selects more than 40 indicators of the three subsystems of resources, economy, and culture. Based on the construction of cloud fuzzy neural network model, the above method is used for experimental comparison analysis, and experiments are conducted through University of California Irvine (UCI) dataset and engineering examples to compare with the traditional cloud model, fuzzy neural network, and BP neural network to analyze the operation efficiency, accuracy rate, and several rules of the algorithm. Through the experimental comparative analysis, the cloud fuzzy neural network can fully take into account the randomness and fuzziness of the data, optimize the generation of cloud rules, avoid multidimensional rule disasters, and ensure the operational efficiency of the algorithm; the accuracy rate of the algorithm is improved relative to that of the traditional technology, and it applies to a variety of datasets. And the software is used to test the ice and snow tourism industry system dynamics model to realize the correctness and robustness testing of the model. After the constructed model can reflect the real situation within the error range, the final policy simulation of the model is carried out.

Museum studies in modern cultural studies

This research is based on the current trend in the development of Museum studies in the field of cultural studies. Understanding the Museum as one of the subsystems of culture allowed us to identify the following aspects for the study of preventive conservation: considering it as a part of museology and at the same time as a system that has its own structure and functional connections between its components, as well as considering it from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Cultural diversity: individual behavioral stereotypes and sociocultural standards. Measuring the immeasurable

In December 2014, the Decree of the President of Russia approved the foundations of the state cultural policy, which set guidelines for the activities of the cultural subsystem of society for 15–20 years. A fundamental replacement of the paradigm of cultural policy is envisaged, which will be accompanied by a change of mythologies that have a significant impact on the formation of cultural policy instruments. For Russia, this is already the second attempt to carry out a sociocultural transformation through the controlled development of culture. The first was undertaken in the period from 1917 to 1991. The article attempts to analyze the key factors leading to the need to change the paradigm approach to cultural policy.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL CLASS AND SOCIAL NETWORK IN SHAPING LINGUAL DIVERSITY

Language is a multidimensional phenomenon in the context of which one might observe lingual differentiation resulting in the appearance of lingual varieties. Factors that can be attributed to the observed lingual differentiation are geographical area, social characteristics of the speakers, communicative situation and the contact / coexistence of languages. Members of each social class create a special cultural subsystem, which, of course, includes language. In addition, there is a direct and not accidental relationship between social stratification of the society and lingual diversity. Social networks with their parameters (density of population and variability), serve as factors influencing formation of language varieties. This article aims to highlight and explain the role of social class and social network in the formation of language varieties. Although the argumentation developed in this paper highlights the importance of two above mentioned factors in shaping lingual differentiation, they alone could not be the only interpretive tools of lingual diversity. Ways of how lingual differentiation happens, mutual impact between social lingual forms and idiolects, especially within certain geographical area, might be the subject for the further research.

ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЕ СВЕТСКОГО И РЕЛИГИОЗНОГО ВОСПИТАНИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ И ДИСКУССИОННЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ

Education as a special social institution develops in the system of pedagogical activity and evolves along with culture. The main goals of education are to prepare a person for life in society according to its laws, moral and legal norms, as well as according to the principles of spirituality. In other words, education is more responsible for the formation of the axiological subsystem of human culture. Historically, the upbringing of the younger generation is engaged in various subjects of socialization: the family, educational institutions, public organizations, etc., among which the Church occupies a special place. In our country, due to the prevailing social circumstances, the Church was excluded from participation in the educational process for many years. Today, the state and the public, realizing the spiritual damage that Russia suffered during the years of the USSR, perestroika, and then the spiritual crisis, are trying to restore the lost traditions of the Church's participation in the upbringing of the younger generation. The interaction of religious and secular education has its own canons, mechanisms, and development trajectories. But in the new conditions of the information society, in the conditions of the loss of a whole generation of people who keep these traditions and are able to pass them on to the younger generation, the resumption of such interaction faces a certain range of problems and difficulties. The authors of this study have studied the most relevant and controversial works of modern scientists, teachers, and theologians on the integration of secular and religious education in modern conditions. The study showed that the Institute of secular education is not ready to create a basis for such interaction, and the religious Institute can not cope with this task alone. This is explained by many factors and reasons that require separate research, which will be the subject of our further work.

US security provision under Joe Biden: A preliminary reconstruction of national strategy

The article proposes a new understanding of the phenomenon of security as the desire of the state to achieve the most favourable trajectory of development under existing constraints. The concept of a favourable trajectory depends on objective factors and its subjective interpretations that are fixed in strategies and programs. In order to make these interpretations systematic and form a holistic model consisting of them, a new algorithm for strategical and program documents has been developed. According to the algorithm, every priority should be marked by code (or its combination) which corresponds to one of the subsystems of the global system and its component to create a database. The analysis of the database makes it possible to isolate problems whose relevance was artificially overestimated prior to elections, to forecast the directions of sequestration of their priorities, to determine the degree of continuity, to rank areas of the policy, to identify probable interconnections among them and to predict the foundations of a promising strategy. In regard to Biden’s program, the algorithm made it possible to achieve the following results. It was revealed that the program is more a succession to Trump’s strategy than innovative. The priority of the economic, social and financial spheres was artificially overestimated and the degree of their importance will be reduced after Biden’s inauguration. Economic, energy and legal spheres will be the cornerstones of Biden’s future strategy. Cyber, raw materials and technological subsystems will be assigned the role of drivers of development. Their successful functioning will be dependent on the dynamics of the military and agricultural sectors. In turn, demographic, trade, financial and credit, civil, humanitarian and cultural subsystems will acquire a more subordinate position and their role will be determined by the solution of specific issues. At the same time, it is difficult to determine the concrete positions and roles of future social and ecological policies because they had been overdeveloped or unclearly prioritized in the electoral program.

Study of the Adaptation Process as a Local Community Strategy in SocialTransformation of Samin Group of Indonesia

The Samin community is an indigenous community with its unique and unique culture. The presence of modern culture in the traditional environment has implications for the emergence of a new order in the culture of the Samin group. The Samin people who initially did not like to mix with other groups except with their own group, became more open to accept new things in their community. These changes encourage researchers to study the Adaptation process as a Local Community Strategy in Social Transformation. Data collected through interviews, observation and documentation. Data analysis uses interactive design. The results of this study indicate that: First, the adaptation of the Samin people develops from an evolutionary understanding that humans always try to adapt to their surroundings, both biologically / genetically and culturally. Second, the social behavior carried out by the Samin community is an objective condition united with a collective commitment to a value influenced by the social system, cultural system, and personality system of each individual. Third, the social transformation of the Samin community is influenced by internal and external factors, which is the result of a process that very complex of various social, economic, political, and cultural sub-systems. Fourth, the social life of the Samin people is fundamentally an organic evolution, that society is ideally democratic, moral, and progressive.

Resilience achieved via multiple compensating subsystems: The immediate impacts of COVID-19 control measures on the agri-food systems of Australia and New Zealand

ContextSince COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) was first identified in the human population, it has had immediate and significant effects on peoples' health and the worldwide economy. In the absence of a vaccine, control of the virus involved limiting its spread through restrictions in the movement of people, goods and services. This has led to unprecedented impacts on labour availability, provision of goods and services, value chains, and markets. ObjectiveAgainst the backdrop of COVID-19 control measures, this article summarises quantitative and qualitative assessments of the impacts, adaptations, and opportunities to increase the resilience of the agricultural systems in Australia and New Zealand. MethodsUsing both survey and interview methodologies, we describe the various agri-food systems and the impacts of the COVID-19 control measures across different industries, and discuss the results applying a resilience framework. ResultsAs essential services, all agricultural activities except for fibre production have been permitted to continue during quarantine periods but have been exposed to the major flow-on effects of movement control. We found that, to June 2020, the impacts of the COVID-19 control measures on the agri-food sectors in both Australia and New Zealand have been relatively small and that this has been due to the high levels of resilience in the agricultural systems and the people running them. ConclusionsWe consider agri-food systems to be comprised of multiple subsystems with varying vulnerability to external influences. Agri-food systems were resilient to June 2020 at least, and that resilience was achieved via one or more subsystems that were able to compensate for the more vulnerable subsystems. We contrast the resilience of industries that have high plasticity (that can have a flow of material that can safely vary in time) to more rigid industries that are dependent on a steady flow of material with little or no storage. Ultimately both types of industries were resilient, but they achieved that resilience via compensating subsystems. High plasticity industries relied on their production and processing subsystem; rigid industries engaged their institutional subsystem to achieve the same end. The social and cultural subsystem was important across all industries. SignificanceIt is not yet clear if the current resilience mechanisms can persist under the continued onslaught of the virus. We indicate the need to capture longer term effects and analysis during the more sustained effects of the virus and through a recovery period. We anticipate a follow-up study in 2022.

The Emergence of the Russian state Controlled by the Church as a New Model of a Political Entity

The article unveils the political role of Alexander Nevsky in the formation of a new (at the time) state structure of a church-controlled Russian government, which was formed as a result of numerous victories of “defence-conciliatory” political forces over “defence-marshalling” camp. This circumstance has led to subsequent subdual of Ancient Rus’ to an Emperor of the Horde. It was effectively deciding the character of the following discrediting of Duchy-Nobilities system of feudal governing as well as the traditions of councils of “Veche” in favour of self-owning merger in which the key role belonged to one ruler. Its church-controlled nature of such institution dictated the leadership of ecclesiastic powers, led by a Metropolitan Bishop, as well as a strict orientation to Church Law and its values and objectives in the normative, cultural, and ideological subsystems of the state government.

CULTURAL DIMENSION OF THE UKRAINIAN MEDIA SPACE IN INTERACTION WITH THE AMERICAN MODEL OF NEWS REPORTING

The purpose of the article is to determine the influence of American news reporting on the current state of the media space in Ukraine within the cultural aspect. The research methodology provides a cultural approach, which includes the analysis of changes in Ukrainian society and the transformation of news reporting. Reporter methods were used to perceive and interpret news and the journalist’s news work. The analytical approach has helped to identify the influence of the American model of news reporting on the intellectual culture of Ukraine. The modelling method was applied for impact analysis of Ukrainian news reporting future model within the media space. Comparative analysis was used to compare American and Ukrainian models of news reporting. The scientific novelty is that for the first time, the cultural aspect of American model impact on the modern Ukrainian media space was studied and the future model of Ukrainian news reporting in the media space was predicted. Conclusions. It has been proven that with the project influence, media culture reaches a new level in cooperation with the media. Mass culture and postmodern media discourse have become attributes of contemporary Ukrainian culture. The entry of the news genre into a new phase of development allows us to qualify them as a subsystem that is the object of influence of the culture of society, and as its subject. At the same time, the media is a channel that influences cultural priorities and changes in the attitude of mind. And, the genesis of Ukrainian news reporting, as a subsystem of culture, has added new qualities that have signs of autonomy, secrecy and generalisation.
