The influence of social experience on the preferences for a potential mate in a captive population of black ducks, Anas rubripes, and mallards, Anas platyrhynchos, was examined. Birds were reared from hatching with conspecifics (i.e., female black ducks with male black ducks, female mallards with male mallards), or were cross-fostered with the other species (i.e., female black ducks with male mallards, female mallards with male black ducks). Preferences of individuals were tested in a chamber containing caged black ducks and mallards of the opposite sex. In over 90% (100/109) of the trials, males and females preferred the species that they were raised with since hatching, whether they were of the same species or not. These results demonstrate that social experience influences the social preferences of male and female black ducks and mallards.

In this article we examine the partnership as a heterogeneous boundary resource that enables platforms to generate dependencies, become locally embedded, and gain power in urban settings. Pushing back against narratives of platform-driven disruption, which tend to universalize and totalize platform power, we discuss three cases of what we term “actually existing platformization”—a path-dependent and locally situated process in which platform companies engage in various forms of “boundary work” with other actors seeking to retain and/or gain power. Each case focuses on a distinct industry: food delivery, short-term housing rental, and the social/voluntary sector. In each of these domains, we show how asset-light platforms initiate and develop partnerships as a frequently nebulous boundary resource that opens up potential avenues for (1) market consolidation, (2) logistical integration, (3) social mobilization, and/or (4) institutional legitimation. Such strategic moves, we argue, have become particularly pertinent following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has hit urban areas particularly hard and is intensifying certain social dependencies and institutional shortcomings that platforms are seeking to exploit.

This work presents and analyzes the pedagogical conditions that have developed on the basis of the studied theoretical, scientific and pedagogical sources (M. K. Apetyan, N. M. Borytko, D. V. Grigoriev, N. V. Ippolitova, A. G. Ligostaev, Yu. A. Ryzhikova, N. S. Sterkhova, A. Fernham, P. Haven, etc.) of the analyzed author's work experience and contributes to the effectiveness and efficiency of the claimed research process. The pedagogical conditions that we have formulated are: taking into account the age and psychological characteristics of primary school students; the combination of various types of teacher's activities, which actualizes the extracurricular ac-tivities of schoolchildren; the use of a complex of forms, methods and techniques aimed at form-ing the social experience of younger schoolchildren and, of course, positively influencing the development of students ' ideas and knowledge about the world around them, necessary for its development and active communication (including in language) of the skills of pupils. This, in turn, helps to form their social experience in extracurricular activities. Thus, the current ap-proaches to the development of pedagogical conditions and the solution of scientific psycholog-ical and pedagogical problems are characterized. The author describes the program of extracurricular activities “Polyglot” (linguistic ori-entation), which is substantively tested by the author. The program is focused primarily on the formation of the social experience of younger students (grades 2–4) in extracurricular activities. The positions on the preferences of students when mastering the Program have been analyzed and the results achieved during the implementation of the Program have been determined: the necessary and sufficient conditions have been created for the formation of social experience; the level of motivation for learning English and the level of formation of the linguistic competence of students were increased, thanks to extracurricular activities. Significant research results are ranked.

This is a case study of the social and physical construction of an ‘Irish’ community in an English town. It asks how or why members of this community migrated and how they construct contemporary images of ‘home’. The article draws on semi-structured interviews and conversations with members of the contemporary Irish community in Huddersfield, including Irish-born and second-generation Irish respondents. We find that their sense of Irish identity is complex, encompassing the totality of social experience, much of which is influenced by often competing interpretations of social and political relationships and understandings of history. What constitutes Irish identity in Huddersfield is determined not just by these factors, but also by the ways in which individuals are socialised as members of different families, neighbourhoods, workplace or other social interest groups.

Percebe-se como principal conclusão que as dimensões morais e simbólicas estão conectadas com as atividades propriamente socioeconômicas, que a vida social na fronteira franco-brasileira exige uma abordagem de suas múltiplas realidades.Palavras-chave: Amapá. Guiana Francesa. Fronteira franco-brasileira. Garimpo. Comércio.THE THIRD MARGIN OF THE OIAPOQUE RIVER: COMMERCE AND MINING IN THE BRAZILIAN-FRENCH BORDERAbstractThis article discusses the forms of social experience on the Franco-Brazilian frontier.

It is perceived as the main conclusion that the moral and symbolic dimensions are connected with the activities properly socioeconomic, that the social life in the French--Brazilian border requires an approach of its multiple realities.Keywords: Amapá.
