L. S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory: globalisation, post-non-classical paradigm and digitalisation

L. S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory postulates the underlying unity of psychological and social factors contributing to the formation of man. It explains both internal factors determining the evolution of consciousness and social trends in social development. The paper highlights the role of L. S. Vygotsky’s theory in the interpretation of the changes in the modern human consciousness. These changes are caused by new culture tools of knowledge building currently created in the information space. The author emphasises the following ideas proposed by L. S. Vygotsky: 1) signs are functionally analogous to tools; 2) culture intentionally creates objects to realise its communicative-significative function; 3) sign utilization leads to the formation of fundamentally new associative bonds in the brain. Such bonds create a novel regulatory mechanism of human behaviour; 4) social determination of man is achieved with the help of signs; 5) the formation and functioning of mind depend on the means of thought and individual sociocultural experience; 6) ‘socialised speech’ influences the evolution of inner speech as a specific type of thinking-in-words and the logic of thinking; 7) the historical evolution of human culture plays the key role in the formation and functioning of individual psyches; 8) due to sign usage the nature of human evolution changed from biological to sociohistorical; consequently, mankind’s evolution significantly depends on the signs used by individuals. Modern digital technologies actively generate signs whose nature is contrary to verbal ones. The process of globalisation and the values of the post-non-classical mindset sustain generation of such signs. Globalisation creates a standardised and maximally regimented reality, which contributes to the reinforcement of reduplication as the socially approved way of knowledge use. What is more, globalisation requires revision of the traditional humanistic values and customs. Post-non-classical thinking enhances individuals’ feelings of insecurity and uncertainty, thus nearly making them act within the framework of conventional behavioural and mental models.

A Two-Phase Approach for Predicting Highway Passenger Volume

With the continuous process of urbanization, regional integration has become an inevitable trend of future social development. Accurate prediction of passenger volume is an essential prerequisite for understanding the extent of regional integration, which is one of the most fundamental elements for the enhancement of intercity transportation systems. This study proposes a two-phase approach in an effort to predict highway passenger volume. The datasets subsume highway passenger volume and impact factors of urban attributes. In Phase I, correlation analysis is conducted to remove highly correlated impact factors, and a random forest algorithm is employed to extract significant impact factors based on the degree of impact on highway passenger volume. In Phase II, a deep feedforward neural network is developed to predict highway passenger volume, which proved to be more accurate than both the support vector machine and multiple regression methods. The findings can provide useful information for guiding highway planning and optimizing the allocation of transportation resources.

DIGITALIZATION AS A GLOBAL TREND (on the example of Moscow)

The current stage of socio-economic development of society is characterized by a significant impact of digitalization. In this article, digitalization is considered as a new trend in global social development, which has replaced and complements such global technologies as informatization and computerization.

Economic Ecosystems and Their Classification

The most important trends in modern social development are economic convergence and digitalization. It is their interaction that creates new opportunities for increasing competitiveness and efficiency in the framework of joint business of representatives of various segments and sectors of the economy. The main institutional and organizational form of doing business within the framework of intersectoral economic convergence under the influence of digitalization is becoming an ecosystem. The aim of the article is to clarify the concept of an ecosystem as a form of joint business in the context of intersectoral economic convergence and digitalization, as well as to build a classification of ecosystems. The study puts forward the following hypothesis the ecosystem as an institutional and organizational form of running a joint business is the result of the simultaneous influence of intersectoral economic convergence and digitalization on it, and “the connection of the basic product provided to the client by the initiator of the intersectoral economic convergence before the creation of the ecosystem with digital and/or information technology ”can be used for the economic ecosystems classification. The novelty of the approach is the following. Considering an ecosystem as a form of joint business running with the simultaneous impact of economic intersectoral convergence and digitalization on it makes it possible to clarify the concept of an ecosystem, highlight as the ecosystem parameter used to the ecosystem classify and as its main characteristic, the values of which can be used to construct a classification of economic ecosystems.

СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНІ ФАКТОРИ УЗБЕКИСТАНУ В УМОВАХ ПАТОЛОГІЧНИХ ВИКЛИКІВ І ЦИФРОВІЗАЦІЇ

Formulation of the problem. Formulation of the problem. In the context of an increased level of uncertainty and variability of the organizational and economic environment, the significance and influence of various kinds of pathologies of a social nature (for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, all kinds of color revolutions, etc.), which have significant negative consequences for the functioning of society and its most important structures, has increased. The purpose of the article is to characterize the set of socio-economic factors in Uzbekistan in the context of pathological challenges and digitalization. The object of the research is the socio-economic processes of the development of the economy of Uzbekistan in the context of pathological challenges and digitalization. The methods used in the research are logical, comparative, analytical, scientific and methodological. The research hypothesis is based on the assumption that there is a dependence of the cost of restoring the ecological balance on the volume of national non-financial production assets. Presentation of the main material. The use of the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress, such as comprehensive digitalization and modeling of the most important factors and trends of social development, can resist the impact of modern negative challenges. The article analyzes and simulates some of the most important parameters of the functioning of the Uzbek economy, the results of which can be used in developing a strategy of actions in priority areas of development of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The originality and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the author substantiates the relationship between the diseases of a modern person and unfavorable environmental conditions arising from his own fault. Conclusions of the study. Thus, as a result of the studies, it became obvious that the factors of social development and the socio-economic trends arising as a result of their action can be divided into two large groups: the first should include factors and trends of a negative nature associated with the action of all kinds of social pathologies; the second group, on the contrary, includes positive factors and trends, primarily associated with the progressive influence of scientific and technological progress, including with such an important modern direction as the all-round digitalization of society.

A necessity of establishing the law for oneself

In the information age, social development trends clearly show that a person endowed with technical intelligence is somehow alienated from his own existence and is spiritually empty and "kinless". In this paper, we focus on this most difficult problem.
 The pathos of our discussion is as follows: understanding and sharing the difficulties of existence is the most reliable and unmistakable way of human self-knowledge and self-exaltation. In any historical section, a legal entity including an individual, nation, country, or world community, is obliged to verify the veracity of this path. Especially we need it from the perspective of our troubled but at the same time "successful century".
 It is obvious fact that in the twenty-first century, in the age of technical civilization, humanity fights to save human lives - in an unusual and unexpectedly difficult situation caused by COVID-19. A few years ago, we could never ever imagine that the world would "stop". We would believe that noisy traffic between states would stop, movement within countries would slow down, people would be forced to stay at home, meetings with each other would become dangerous, and due to lack of vaccine, millions of people would die.
 What are we dealing with? How can we overcome the most difficult challenges caused by co-existence with COVID? How do we evaluate what’s going on? It is difficult, extremely difficult to answer these questions, but the most difficult conditions are forcing us to find reasonable answers to such questions.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL COMPETENCE OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS: SELF- ASSESSMENT RESEARCH

In today’s life, the formation of a new twenty-first century society structure, which is changing people’s personal, professional and social conditions of existence, more and more frequent are demands from the public and there is a trend of social competence development. First of all, thinking about the teachers, who often run initiatives, internal motivation, knowledge, sometimes in interaction with students in strengthening the social competence phenomena such as communication and cooperation. It is never too late to improve communication and cooperation culture. The article seeks to reveal the importance of social competence for self-assessment process. The article presents the theoretical background of self-assessment process. In order to reveal social competence, a model which illustrates the parts of social competence such as communication (reciprocity) and cooperation (activity) is presented. That‘s why teacher-teacher, teacher-student, student-student, student-teacher have been chosen as research subjects who reflect the characteristics of reciprocity and activity in the process of learning. The instrument of the research is a questionnaire. The research participants were 49 Lithuanian teachers, 142 students and 23 Belgian teachers and 86 students.

Lifelong Education as a Challenge of Digital Era

Digital trends in social and economic development change the labour concepts and attitudes towards careers. Through the life course people more often change their job, residence, specialty. That circumstance implies the need for new skills or retraining within the space of lifetime. This study is based on the assessment of the continuity of Azerbaijani education in the digital economy. The work was performed within the framework of the methodology proposed by the World Bank and aimed at interpreting and combining particular outputs of statistical studies, since a comprehensive statistical survey of the digitization of education has not yet been carried out. The results, on the one hand, indicate great promise in terms of system enhancements and expansion of lifelong education opportunities for all categories of citizens through development of the Azerbaijani digital space and increase the number of training organizations. On the other hand, the development of this direction is weak and of an ad hoc nature: specific goals and objectives, supply and demand, formal and informal methods in each field of Azerbaijani education are not fully taken into account.

Electrification of rails in China: Its impact on energy conservation and emission reduction

Rail transportation plays a very important role in China’s economic development. China’s train system has experienced the evolution of steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, and electric locomotives, which correspond to the consumption of coal, diesel and electricity respectively. Environmental protection has put forward requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction in rail transportation. The electrification of rails is a general trend of social development. In this process, the fuel consumption of rail transportation is experiencing the substitution of coal and oil by electricity. Therefore, a study on inter-fuel substitution in China’s rail sector is of great significance to the development of China’s rail transport system, energy conservation and emission reduction in rail transportation. We re-derived and revised the formula for inter-fuel substitution elasticity, and made a more reasonable and scientific selection of the ridge regression parameters in the econometric model. The empirical results indicate that in China’s rail sector, the substitution elasticities between coal and oil, coal and electricity, and oil and electricity are about 2.2084, 1.0628, and 0.9202, respectively. We also conducted an inter-fuel substitution scenario analysis and made relevant policy recommendations.

VALUES OF TRADITIONAL CULTURE AT STUDENTS OF ARTS SPECIALTY

The paper analyzes the value system of students of a creative specialty. Since the end of the 20th century, there have been two opposite trends in social development: the trend of globalization and the trend of national revival based on traditional culture. The value system of globalization includes cosmopolitanism as opposed to patriotism, a mixture of gender and family roles as opposed to the natural separation of sexes; a unified fashion, and virtualization of the public and private spheres. Globalization denies the national characteristics that are embedded in the historical fate of each people and which form the traditional culture. Globalization in the field of culture means the penetration of the same meanings and values with which people endow the phenomena and processes of the surrounding world into all countries with the help of information and communication technologies. Ideals, values, mentality, fashion, methods of communication become the same. The tendency of the revival of the nation is based on the cultivation of traditions, language, mythology, and national mentality. A qualitative study was conducted among second year design students of KFU to identify the dominant values in the minds of students of a creative specialty. In total, there were analyzed 26 texts “In which world I would like to live,” in which students described in free form their attitude to the global and traditional world. The tendency was being revealed by the frequency of mentioning preferred ideals, values, and patterns of behavior. As a result of the analysis, the authors came to the conclusion that the vast majority of students would like to live in a world of traditional values: traditional gender relationships, in a traditional family with a division of social roles, with traditional religious views, but provided that church is separated from state.

Innovation of Ideological and Political Education in Big Data Age

The arrival of big data era has affected the logic and trend of social development. Big data broadens the coverage of education, highlights the subjectivity of students, and requires the data of teaching content. Big data enriches the teaching methods of ideological and political education, improves the pertinence of ideological and political education, improves the quality of ideological and political educators, and promotes ideological and political education.Big data’s core technology has been generally accepted by colleges and universities, and the application technology represented by Hadoop system has become a common tool for data mining and analysis of ideological and political education in colleges and universities. In the era of big data, we should pay attention to the innovation of data mining and data analysis.

Configuration Design of an Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot with a Generalized Shoulder Joint

For stroke patients with upper limb motor dysfunction, rehabilitation training with the help of rehabilitation robots is a social development trend. Existing upper limb rehabilitation robots have difficulty fully fitting the complex motion of the human shoulder joint and have poor human–robot compatibility. In this paper, based on the anatomical structure of the human upper limb, an equivalent mechanism model of the human upper limb is established. The configuration synthesis of the upper limb rehabilitation mechanism was carried out, a variety of shoulder joint man–machine closed-chain Θs and shoulder elbow human–machine closed-chain Θse configuration combinations were synthesized, and the configuration model with compatibility and reduced moment conduction attenuation was selected from them. Two configurations, 2Pa1P3Ra and 5Ra1P, are proposed for the generalized shoulder joint mechanism of the robot. The closed-chain kinematic models of the two configurations are established, and the velocity Jacobian matrix is obtained. Motion performance analysis, condition reciprocal analysis and operability ellipsoid analysis of different configuration design schemes were carried out in different operation planes. The results show that in the normal upper limb posture of the human body, the 5Ra1P configuration of the shoulder joint has better kinematic performance. Finally, on this basis, an upper limb rehabilitation robot prototype with good human–computer compatibility is developed, and its moving space was verified.

Research on the Connection Between Emotional Factors and the Dissemination Process of Hot Words

In the era of the popularization of network social media, hot words appear frequently. This study focused on exploring the dissemination process of common hot words, such as phrases or names of people, things, and events. The research assumed that emotional factors play a role in the dissemination process of hot words. A case study was conducted using Weibo. Our focus was the dissemination process of the word “Covid-19” from January 23 to March 31, 2020. This paper summarizes the connection during this period between the hot discussion amount of the word “Covid-19” and the emotions of netizens on Weibo. Combining specific data on hot discussion amount and the percentages of seven emotions (happiness, love, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise) shown in the comments of netizens, this study verified that there is a significant positive correlation between the emotion of “surprise”/“fear” and the hot discussion amount of the word “Covid-19,” indicating that there is indeed a connection between emotional factors and the dissemination process of hot words. This result can help bring clarity to the current social situation and its effects on public psychology and illuminate the trends of social development. In addition, the research results can contribute to the development of language and society.
