The article formulates the basic list of abilities that leaders of local communities need to have as accractors of the e ective social development. It is substantiated that the heads of territorial communities, deputies, leaders of initiative groups of the community are entrusted with not simple task, which is to provide constructive social self-organization, based on permanent social dialogue and partnership with the community. According to synergetics methodology these individuals have to become the attractors for the e ective social development. The approaches to the understanding of an attractor in modern science are analyzed. The article a rms that the future system depends on leaders who direct transformation of the respective system. The most important aspects of leadership that are relevant at the level of local communities are analysed. It is substantiated that the self-organization of life in the local community begins with the establishment of the principles of corporatism.

AbstractFrom nests to nets intricate wiring diagrams surround the birth and the death of life. Here we show that the same rule of complex network self-organization is valid across different physical scales and allows to predict protein interactions, food web trophic relations and world trade network transitions. This rule, which we named CH2-L3, is a network automaton that is based on paths of length-three and that maximizes internal links in local communities and minimizes external ones, according to a mechanistic model essentially driven by topological neighbourhood information.

Throughout history, problems of disability and rehabilitation were considered mainly in the context of pathology. However, at the end of the twentieth century, positive psychology was officially formed. It focuses on the positive sides of psycho-social human functioning. The science of happiness and human strength captures the problems of rehabilitation in terms of systemic theories; more specifically, in the context of a self-organizing system (autopoietic). In the process of maintaining the self-organization of a system, movement and speech have a special role. This has clear implications for rehabilitation, including therapies aimed at posttraumatic growth. Emphasized by positive psychology, the potential of human resilience e.g., self-determination, has made it possible to supplement the traditional approach to rehabilitation by supporting beneficial processes and positive aspects of psycho-social development and functioning of people with disabilities.

The article is devoted to the study of self-organization in the Montessori Elementary school. The topic of self-organization was previously discussed within different areas of science by P. Kropotkin, H. Haken, E. Sheval and others. M. Montessori described conditions required for the big groups of children to study independently and productively. These conditions can be discussed through the lens of the modern science. The article contains three groups of the self-organization foundations in the Elementary school: philosophical, psychological and pedagogical. The philosophical foundations are the elements of the self-organizing system, which are the following: an open system, a big amount of the elements and the energy coming to the system from the outside. Psychological foundations are the executive functions development, self-determination and flow. Pedagogical foundations of the self-organization are the key elements of the Montessori Method: a prepared environment, observation by the teacher and mixed age classroom. The theoretical analysis shows that a Montessori Elementary school creates all conditions for self-organized system in any classroom.

Seminal Work

McIntyre, in his seminal work on Scottish franchise courts, argues that these courts were in decline in this period, and of little relevance to their local population. 1 But was that really the case? This paper explores that question, using a particularly rich set of local court records. By analysing the functions and significance of one particular court it assesses the role of this one court within its local area, and considers whether it really was in decline at this time, or if it continued to perform a vital role in its local community. The period studied is the mid to late seventeenth century, a period of considerable upheaval in Scottish life, that has attracted considerable attention from scholars, though often less on the experiences of local communities and people.

Parental Modernity is an important aspect for the psycho-social development of the child. The present study aims to study the effect of parental modernity on rejection sensitivity and self-esteem of adolescents and the relationship between rejection sensitivity and self-esteem. The research is carried out on a sample of 240 parents (including 120 fathers and 120 mothers) and their 120 children. For observing the impact of modernity of parents on their children, Individual Modernity Scale was used and administered on father and mother. Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire and Self-Esteem Inventory were used to measure the rejection sensitivity and self-esteem of children (age ranges from 14 to 19 years). The results suggest that parental modernity has an effect on the rejection sensitivity and personally perceived self of the self – esteem of adolescents. Furthermore, the rejection sensitivity has been found negatively associated with self-esteem.

First Time

The article assesses synergetic theory of document as a new development in document science. In information society the social role of document grows, as information involves all members of society in the process of documentation. The transformation of document under the influence of modern information technologies increases its interest to representatives of different sciences. Interdisciplinary nature of document as an object of research leads to an ambiguous interpretation of its nature and social role. The article expresses and contends the author's views on this issue. In her opinion, social role of document is incidental to its being a main social tool regulating the life of civilized society. Thus, the study aims to create a scientific theory of document, explaining its nature and social role as a tool of social (goal-oriented) action and social self-organization. Substantiation of this idea is based on application of synergetics (i.e., universal theory of self-organization) to scientific study of document. In the synergetic paradigm, social and historical development is seen as the change of phases of chaos and order, and document is considered a main tool that regulates social relations. Unlike other theories of document, synergetic theory studies document not as a carrier and means of information transfer, but as a unique social phenomenon and universal social tool. For the first time, the study of document steps out of traditional frameworks of office, archive, and library. The document is placed on the scales with society as a global social system with its functional subsystems of politics, economy, culture, and personality. For the first time, the methods of social sciences and modern sociological theories are applied to scientific study of document. This methodology provided a basis for theoretical vindication of nature and social role of document as a tool of social (goal-oriented) action and social self-organization. The study frames a synergetic theory of document with methodological foundations and basic concepts, synergetic model of document, laws of development and effectiveness of document in the social continuum. At the present stage of development of science, it can be considered the highest form of theoretical knowledge of document and its scientific explanatory theory.
