Design principles are created to codify and formalize design knowledge so that innovative, archival practices may be communicated and used to advance design science and solve future design problems, especially the pinnacle, wicked, and grand-challenge problems that face the world and cross-cutting markets. Principles are part of a family of knowledge explication, which also include guidelines, heuristics, rules of thumb, and strategic constructs. Definitions including a range of explications are explored from a number of seminal papers. Based on this analysis, the authors pose formalized definitions for the three most prevalent terms in the literature — principles, guidelines, and heuristics. Current research methods and practices with design principles are categorized and characterized. In analyzing the methodology for discovering, deriving, formulating and validating design principles, the goal is to understand and advance the theoretical basis of design, the foundations of new tools and techniques, and the complex systems of the future. Suggestions for the future of design principles research methodology for added rigor and repeatability are proposed.

Based on this analysis, the authors pose formalized definitions for the three most prevalent terms in the literature—principles, guidelines, and heuristics—and draw more definitive distinctions between the terms. Current research methods and practices with design principles are categorized and characterized. We further explore research methodologies, validation approaches, semantic principle composition through computational analysis, and a proposed formal approach to articulating principles. In analyzing the methodology for discovering, deriving, formulating, and validating design principles, the goal is to understand and advance the theoretical basis of design, the foundations of new tools and techniques, and the complex systems of the future. Suggestions for the future of design principles research methodology for added rigor and repeatability are proposed.

Problem statement. It is shown that the main scientific vectors of the study of the personality image of the future can be considered philosophical, sociological, psychophysiological and psychological. In psychology, the future is revealed as a property of the mental. It is determined that the psychological phenomenology of the image of the future is that it is a holistic view of the individual about the future. It is in the mind and constantly affects behavior, activities, and its emotional state. The ability of an individual to construct his own future is due to the peculiarities of his individual psychological representations. This aspect is little studied in psychological science.  The purpose of the article is to present methods and techniques of research of representations and designing the world image of the future by the person. Results of the research. It is noted that the process of forming the image of the future is not only a vision of the end result, but also the impact on the assessment of behavior, consolidation of moral, volitional, intellectual efforts to realize their own expectations. This emphasizes the subjective nature of this process. In the framework of the research of mental representations and the peculiarities of constructing personality images of the future in a particular individual context were identified the mediative and moderative components that influence this phenomenon. The author’s method of assessing the world image of the future is presented. It is a technique of subjective scaling — that is, it shows how the individual imagines his future. To assess the relationship between the studied indicators, which are operationalized as concepts of psychosemantic analysis, a multidimensional deployment was used. Conclusions and prospects for further research. It is concluded that the psychosemantic approach is the most informative in the identified abilities of the individual to construct images of their own future. It is noted that the prospects for further research will be to identify the re lationship between forms and strategies for building mental representations of the image of the future with strategies for individual behavior in difficult life situations.

ABSTRACTThe existence of products (artifacts) was not a major element in the design paradigm. Product is like tools to help for designing scenarios, realizing the future, and building design knowledge. Planning and making of a product should have an interconnection between the user, product and environment (e.g. space, social, ecological). Accordingly, three main aspects work on the interconnection of product existence. First is the "action" aspect that the product created when changing user behavior. The second is the aspect of "matter" which talks about functions and purpose to meet user needs. The third is the aspect of "limitation" that arises when every limitation, need, and behavior meets each other. There is one important thing in that discourse, which is how the three aspects (i.e. action, matter, limitation) work and they are interconnected to build of the three design goals (i.e. scenario, future, design knowledge). The fundamental problem for product development was the gap between design theory and design practice. This situation occurs because the development of a product has been moving from the past and present until the future. The issue of conditions and time could not be done through sketches, visual images or also involving tinkering processes involving components and materials. Relied on that, this article invites us to discuss design in a frame of mind called design science. The background of this discussion is an activity, process and design thinking that takes place and address product design students when developing a product. The goals to be achieved through this article is to get compatible design knowledge between the theory (head) and practical aspects (hands).Design Science: Pendekatan untuk Membangun Cara Berpikir Desain bagi Mahasiswa ABSTRAK Keberadaan produk (artifak) bukan merupakan unsur utama dalam paradigma desain. Produk lebih merupakan alat untuk merancang skenario, mewujudkan masa depan, dan membangun pengetahuan desain. Perancangan dan pembuatan sebuah produk harus dapat menghubungkan antara pengguna, produk dan lingkungan (e.g. ruang, sosial, ekologi). Berdasar hal tersebut, terdapat tiga aspek utama yang bekerja pada hubungan keberadaan produk. Pertama yaitu aspek “action” yang ditimbulkan oleh produk ketika merubah perilaku pengguna. Kedua ialah aspek “matter” yang berbicara mengenai fungsi dan tujuan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna. Ketiga ialah aspek “limitation” yang muncul ketika setiap keterbatasan, kebutuhan, dan perilaku saling bertemu. Terdapat satu perkara penting dalam wacana di atas yaitu bagaimana ketiga aspek (action, matter, limitation) bekerja dan saling terhubung untuk membangun ketiga tujuan desain (skenario, masa depan, pengetahuan desain). Masalah mendasar untuk pengembangan produk adalah kesenjangan antara teori desain dan praktik desain. Situasi ini terjadi karena pengembangan suatu produk bergerak pada masa lalu, sekarang, dan kedepan. Persoalan kondisi dan waktu ini tidak bisa hanya dilakukan melalui sketsa, gambar visual atau juga melibatkan proses utak-atik yang melibatkan komponen dan bahan. Berdasar pada hal itu, maka artikel ini mengajak untuk membahas desain dalam sebuah kerangka pemikiran yang disebut sebagai design science. Latar belakang pembahasan yang digunakan ialah aktivitas, proses dan berpikir desain yang berlangsung pada mahasiswa ketika melakukan pengembangan sebuah produk. Hasil yang ingin dicapai melalui artikel ini ialah mendapatkan pengetahuan desain yang kompatibel antara teori (kepala) dan aspek praktis (tangan).

The following essay was born out of the authors’ participation in the Hamburg (Insecurity) Sessions 2019: Un-Cancelling the Future, and the discussions that took place in the workshop on Future Weapons and Emerging Technologies. The workshop participants critically addressed such problems as the future of defence technologies and their sociotechnical environments, cybersecurity and surveillance proliferation and the improvised instruments of insurgency. Our task was to weave the ideas and insights of the workshop’s participants into a vision of the world in 2040 and use it to motivate an analysis of the technoscientific imaginaries emerging in the present. From the workshop presentations and discussions, we identified three key areas of that allowed us to imagine the outlines and interactions of global security and technoscientific practice in 2040: ecopolitics: the exploitation of ecological systems for strategic ends; technonationalism: the use of advanced technologies to pursue racialised and nationalistic geopolitical agendas; and the security continuum: the extension of conflict modes to all aspects of social life and the open-source proliferation of security tools and techniques.

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.

With signs of normalization seemingly in place in the world economy, a number of problems show the possibility of aggravation in the future. The volume of derivatives in American banks grows significantly, high risk instruments are back in place and their use becomes more active, global imbalances increase. All of the above requires thorough approaches when creating mechanisms which can neutralize external shocks for the Russian economy and make it possible to develop in the new post-crisis environment.

Education is an important factor in human life. According to Ki Hajar Dewantara, education is a civilizing process that a business gives high values ??to the new generation in a society that is not only maintenance but also with a view to promote and develop the culture of the nobility toward human life. Education is a human investment that can be used now and in the future. One other important factor in supporting human life in addition to education, which is technology. In this globalization era, technology has touched every joint of human life. The combination of these two factors will be a new innovation in the world of education. The innovation has been implemented by Raharja College, namely the use of the method iLearning (Integrated Learning) in the learning process. Where such learning has been online based. ILearning method consists of TPI (Ten Pillars of IT iLearning). Rinfo is one of the ten pillars, where it became an official email used by the whole community’s in Raharja College to communicate with each other. Rinfo is Gmail, which is adapted from the Google platform with typical raharja.info as its domain. This Rinfo is a medium of communication, as well as a tool to support the learning process in Raharja College. Because in addition to integrated with TPi, this Rinfo was connected also support with other learning tools, such as Docs, Drive, Sites, and other supporting tools.

The article examines the epistemological roots of conservative ideology, development trends and further prospects in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in other countries. The author focuses on the “world” and Russian conservatism. In the course of the study, the author illustrates what opportunities and limitations a conservative ideology can have in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in the world. In conclusion, it is concluded that the prospect of a conservative trend in the world is wide enough. To avoid immigration and to control the development of technology in society, it is necessary to adhere to a conservative policy. Conservatism is a consolidating ideology. It is no coincidence that the author cites as an example the understanding of conservative ideology by the French due to the fact that Russia has its own vision of the ideology of conservatism. If we say that conservatism seeks to preserve something and respects tradition, we must bear in mind that traditions in different societies, which form some kind of moral imperatives, cannot be a single phenomenon due to different historical destinies and differing religious views. Considered from the point of view of religion, Muslim and Christian conservatism will be somewhat confrontational on some issues. The purpose of the work was to consider issues related to the role, evolution and prospects of conservative ideology in the political reform of modern countries. The author focuses on Russia and France. To achieve this goal, the method of in-depth interviews with experts on how they understand conservatism was chosen. Already today, conservatism is quite diverse. It is quite possible that in the future it will transform even more and acquire new reflections.
