Kalmyk Republic

The article is devoted to the study of the youth, an important active social group. It represents a quarter of the population and manifests itself in all spheres of life of the republic. One of the factors that encourage the sociological diagnostics of the state of the youth is the emergence of new social and economic threats, development of crisis phenomena in regions with complex ethnic and religious composition, which includes the Kalmyk Republic. Young people tend to participate in processes that are risky and destructive. The article analyzes the individual results of a sociological study conducted in 2019 within the framework of a grant from B. B. Gorodovikov Kalmyk State University supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (N.L. Kurepin). The study allowed us determining not only the problematic aspects of this age group (economic instability, social inequality, etc.), but also the positive aspects that allow us identifying its productive opportunities for updating social relations and economic processes in the region. Our analysis shows that the Republic of Kalmykia is economically protected, as its economy is able to ensure the stability of the economic situation of an individual, provide opportunities for social and economic stability of the regional community, and guarantee protection from various types of threats and losses. The obtained data allows us to state that, despite the unresolved social problems (business, leisure during vacations, holidays, environmental situation in the region, opportunity to express political views), the life of the young population of the republic is stable and sustainable. The majority of the study group has confidence and a positive attitude towards the future, which depends on both their psychological and emotional state and the economic situation in the Kalmyk Republic.

В статье описываются разные подходы к разграничению понятий «болезнь» и «здоровье». Здоровье и болезнь часто определяются в  сравнительном аспекте друг к другу. Особенность этих феноменов состоит в том, что они имеют социальное измерение. Чаще всего здоровье и болезнь «измеряются» на индивидуальном уровне. С одной стороны, человек отслеживает свое самочувствие, с другой ориентируется на определенный идеал здоровья. При этом его личный идеал здоровья может расходиться с социальной нормой. Здоровье человека является наивысшей ценностью, одним из основных показателей цивилизованности современного общества. Будучи фундаментальной характеристикой человеческого существования, оно постоянно находится в прямой зависимости от изменений, которые происходят в общественных отношениях и поэтому на каждом этапе социальной эволюции нуждается в переосмыслении своих сущностных проявлений. Поэтому первоочередной задачей РФ как социально-ориентированного государства является содействие развитию молодого поколения, его жизнетворчества, духовному росту. Основой его решения является понимание смысла жизни, существования в окружающем мире. Этот вопрос приобретает глобальный характер. The article describes different approaches to the differentiation of the concepts of " disease "and"health". Health and illness are often defined in a comparative aspect to each other. The peculiarity of these phenomena is that they have a social dimension. Most often, health and illness are "measured" at the individual level. On the one hand, a person monitors his well-being, on the other hand, he is guided by a certain ideal of health. At the same time, his personal ideal of health may diverge from the social norm. Human health is the highest value, one of the main indicators of the civilization of modern society. Being a fundamental characteristic of human existence, it is constantly directly dependent on the changes that occur in social relations and therefore, at every stage of social evolution, it needs to rethink its essential manifestations. Therefore, the primary task of the Russian Federation as a socially-oriented state is to promote the development of the young generation, its life-creation, and spiritual growth. The basis of its solution is an understanding of the meaning of life, existence in the surrounding world. This issue is becoming global in nature.

This paper focuses on the political genealogy of one of the most promising and influential IT technologies of our time: the blockchain (or distributed registry). We point at important commonalities between the principles of blockchain projects and models of republican governance. In contrast to techno-anarchist and democratic ideas, the republican genealogy of blockchain has so far failed to attract the attention of researchers. After examining the basic technical properties and ideological images of blockchain, we explore how the four main principles of classical republicanism (personal freedom and autonomy of the individual; civic virtues; common good; recognition of great causes) are realized in influential blockchain projects — Bitcoin (developed by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto) and Ethereum (developed by Vitalik Buterin). The functioning of blockchain nodes is supported by a community of miners, who are free, but at the same time agree to act for the development of a common thing. What the republic and the blockchain have in common is that it is impossible to have a community without cooperative action. At the same time, blockchain is a vivid illustration of Bruno Latour's argument on the role of non-humans in social relations: his code seeks to replace untrustworthy humans with rule-acting nodes, and to create a cryptographic society where untrustworthy human relations are replaced by computers' relations. This article is an invitation to begin a discussion of the political ideas that are embedded in new technologies and the models of governance that are mobilized through them, often without proper reflection on the nature of such ideas by their creators.

The research featured the new social requirements for subject teachers, as well as the legal basis for the changes that have occurred in the education system of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The study focused on the current situation in Kyrgyz schools and universities, the development of new teaching technologies, and the new educational literature. The education system of Kyrgyzstan includes two large concepts. One of them is updating the content of subject knowledge corresponding to the required competencies. The second concept is the individualization of subject knowledge. These concepts are important in the framework of the Law of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan "On the Manas Epic" adopted in 2011. Previously, the content of education was based on the level of requirements for the young generation and was determined by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic that developed curricula for all educational institutions. However, subject teachers have to change their materials, taking into account the social and intellectual interests of the individual. The article introduces priority tasks that create the necessary conditions for the development of learners' personality. This goal was financed by the state budget in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The author believes that the new credit technology is to be adopted with caution, and that the Kyrgyz educational system can use some educational technologies tested in Russia, e.g. critical thinking development; developmental education; health saving technologies; problem learning; gaming; workshop technology; case method; integrated learning in class, etc. Subject teachers are responsible for updating the educational literature in connection with the new requirements.

Education has not only the role of offering students didactic knowledge but it also has the major role to educate the young generation towards their well-being and personal growth. The school is a place where children spend a considerable part of their time and get knowledge and learn to know themselves and those around them. So then is the duty of the school to take care of children and adolescents, to grow responsible person who will be active citizens in this global world. There are precisely the experiences in the school those who affect mostly in the future of the individual. A rapid intervention, starting in the early years, represents the most accurate means to develop among the new generation the attention towards the factors on which the individual and collective well-being depends on. Schools should be repositioned because it is no longer just a place of learning, with complete reference to the materials and curricular disciplines. Education has a responsibility to treat all areas containing personal life, emotional, intellectual, social, cultural and moral. School should assure students a professional training model to provide safe and existential horizons and worth directions.The educational and formative act of the school is very essential in favor of taking and putting into practice those knowledge and competencies that can lead to lifestyles oriented toward the well-being and the prevention of deviant behavior. The school's success in promoting psychological well-being of students lies in the fact that it will decide on the most part in the future success of our society.

Food Gardens

Gardens in Vanuatu, an archipelago in the SW Pacific, materialize the multiple relationships between land, humans, and the more-than-human world that facilitate self-reliance, and wellbeing. This paper analyzes a collaborative project (2016-18) undertaken on the Island of Tanna in Vanuatu. A project for and with youth and their communities, it aimed to train young people to do basic research on customary food gardens and to document Indigenous customary knowledge, practices, and customary stories about food and gardens. The project started after a catastrophic cyclone destroyed gardens and infrastructure, rendering the self-sufficient islanders dependent on food aid at a time of rising rates of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). There is also concern about the declining interest in traditional knowledge among youth. With about 60% of the population under 30 years of age, this paper argues that youth are critical actors in ensuring the continuity of customary knowledge and practices that are essential for food sovereignty, the maintenance of social relations and wellbeing, all of which are embedded in relational ecologies of care.

The article reveals the method of working with the child's immediate environment, which helps to ensure optimal conditions for reintegration. Partnership between parents, relatives, other important people, social professionals, practical psychologists, specialists and organizations involved affects the overall well-being of the child at different levels of social interaction. The consequences of the specific conditions of keeping and living of orphans and children deprived of parental care in boarding schools, as well as the conditions necessary to achieve the welfare of the child are described. The reintegration of the child should take place as a gradual and controlled process. Constant changes in the conditions of care, forms of placement are detrimental to the child's development, the formation of attachments, so during this process you need to avoid sudden changes and conflicting decisions. The author analyzes the specifics of the process of reintegration of orphans and children deprived of parental care, identifies three levels of social interaction, characteristic of this category of children: sensory-emotional, emotional-social, social-institutional level. In this context, the process of reintegration is to some extent similar to the process of socialization of the individual, which involves the active entry of the individual into all social institutions. The technologies of compiling a map of the social environment are presented, which provides a more detailed, reasonable answer regarding the quality and functioning of the client's social relations; ecomaps, to identify a number of interactions between the client and people related to the client, relevant social institutions, the environment. Based on the analysis of interpersonal connections and relationships, the specialist identifies important and significant people for the child and together with the child explores the possibility of organizing a meeting within the social network, which can be attended by people listed in the map of the social environment.

AbstractHumor can ease social relations, be exploited to further productivity, and improve the environment and the general well being of the individual. Through humor people negotiate their value as men and demarcate insider/outsiders relations. At the same time, humor often interrupts the flow of work, slowing down productivity, and wasting time and money. Humor can also be exploited ambiguously to further self-interest and justify and re-interpret one's deceitful conduct. In the ambiguously humorous environment, people further their interests, crossing the boundaries of licit and illicit, offensive and acceptable behavior. Humor offers a place to dream a better reality, but it can also actually transform the context. Humorous topics revert around scatology, sex, gender, fish, and value manipulation. These are central fish market themes that define each other relationally. Whatever the practical purpose and the change of context that the jokes are aiming at, jokers construct primarily themselves and in the process they give sense to their life. In this paper I try to draw a picture in which the individual, with his desires and needs, and the culture at large come together.

Given the heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorder, an important limitation of much autism spectrum disorder research is that outcome measures are statistically modeled as separate dependent variables. Often, their multivariate structure is either ignored or treated as a nuisance. This study aims to lift this limitation by applying network analysis to explicate the multivariate pattern of risk and success factors for subjective well-being in autism spectrum disorder. We estimated a network structure for 27 potential factors in 2341 individuals with autism spectrum disorder to assess the centrality of specific life domains and their importance for well-being. The data included both self- and proxy-reported information. We identified social satisfaction and societal contribution as the strongest direct paths to subjective well-being. The results suggest that an important contribution to well-being lies in resources that allow the individual to engage in social relations, which influence well-being directly. Factors most important in determining the network’s structure include self-reported IQ, living situation, level of daily activity, and happiness. Number of family members with autism spectrum disorder and openness about one’s diagnosis are least important of all factors for subjective well-being. These types of results can serve as a roadmap for interventions directed at improving the well-being of individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
