Objective. To represent library communication in the socio-cultural space of modern society. Methods. The methodology of the article was based on a set of general and special methods of scientific knowledge. Results. We substantiated the essence and content of the term "library communication" as a pre-planned activity in the socio-cultural space of modern society. There are presented the structural content elements of library communication:, goal, objective, essence, driving mechanism, purpose, implementation, basic tools, main communication product, indifferent components, sources, environment and specifics of functioning, levels and result. We established that library practice today is constantly enriched with new phenomena and concepts to denote them, for which library science as a science should formulate appropriate terms, provide theoretical and methodological justification. Conclusions. It is argued that in the context of the theory of social communications, the institutionalization of the term "library communication" as a separate type of professional communication and the driving force of the transformation of the library business is relevant.

Based on the understanding of the doctrinal principles of law as socially significant ideas formulated by scientists, practitioners, politicians in scientific works and other texts, as well as in public speeches and have not found a normative consolidation, the peculiarities of the doctrinal principles of law are highlighted. It is proposed to delimit the doctrinal principles of law from legal axioms and normatively enshrined principles of law (principles of positive law). The similarity between the doctrinal principles of law and legal axioms is that they are ideas. It is substantiated that their differences lie in the fact that legal axioms are always ideas that are socially important and tested by historical experience, and doctrinal principles can be absolutely any, including new ones, coinciding or not coinciding with the needs of society; doctrinal principles are always not normatively fixed (this is their main specific feature), and legal axioms may or may not have normative consolidation. The main differences between doctrinal and normatively enshrined principles of law are highlighted. Three ways are established for the implementation of doctrinal ideas to the level of sectoral, inter-sectoral or general legal principles. The position is substantiated that doctrinal principles have enormous social significance and play an important role in the legal system of Russia, since are the basis for innovative changes in law, are a driving force for the development of legislation, based on the level of development of scientific knowledge and the needs of society in a specific historical period.

The Way

This article utilizes Anthony Giddens' concept of 'the reflexivity of modernity' to account for the dichotomy of traditional knowledge and scientific knowledge in the Pakistani context during the outbreak of COVID-19. It analyzes the concept of reflexivity as a form of criticism of irrationality and critiques notions of certainty. This article analyzes the concept of modernity endorsed by tradition in general, and by society in particular. Modernity is a constant process of interpreting and reinterpreting tradition in the light of knowledge at any given point of time. It also argues that pre-modern society refuses to reflect upon the nature of reflection itself. Self-reflexivity is the most crucial feature of modernity. The article views Pakistan as a society where reflexivity is not a part of contemporary culture, and it struggles to accept modernity. The article argues that modernity is intrinsically sociological, and contemporary Pakistani society shows resistance to modernity.  It also states that the appropriation of scientific knowledge is not made homogeneously in contemporary Pakistan during COVID-19. Pakistani society is predominantly influenced by religious discourse, which does not believe in self-reflexivity. The study will pave the way to employ the theory of reflexivity to analyze and interpret literary texts in terms of sociological perspectives.

The relevance of the subject matter derives from the fact that communication is one of the oldest institutions of humanity and plays a crucial role in modern society. The authors used general scientific methods such as generalisation, analysis and integration of elements of the concept of conventional communication as well. The purpose of the study is to define the essence of the models of socio-cultural transformation, as well as the characteristics and features of the development of socio-cultural activities. The study analyses how socio-cultural content functions in social communication; the key theoretical thesis of the functionality message is identified. The study discusses the models that influence socio-cultural transformation on the global level and make changes both in the global cultural space and in the cultural space of countries, communities, and people in particular. The study proposes means to strengthen the innovative potential of Ukrainian culture. The authors emphasise that the phenomenon of communication culture requires in-depth theoretical and methodological studies of the problems of its design and support.

Direct Observation Method

The article deals with the consideration of the paremic text in the modern linguistic paradigm: approaches to the researches are presented, the text-forming and linguocultural potential of individual units is shown. The direct observation method was used as the main method in this work, followed by the use of descriptive-analytical, comparative, contextual and linguistic and cultural methods. The Study is based on examples from lexicographic sources and illustrations from the Internet. The article provides an overview of the main aspects of the paremiological studies. Paremias are considered as a folklore genre, the thematic and ideographic principle of classifying paremias is presented, the aspects of cultural linguistics (linguoculturological) and translation studies are substantiated, and peculiarities of historical and etymological discursive (functional) analysis are shown. Comparative linguistic and cultural analysis is recognized by the authors of the paper as an integrative aspect of the paremiological material description. The article analyzes the text-forming and linguoculturological potential of the paremiology in different languages. As an example of the realization of the text-forming potential of paremias, the functioning of the proverb Не рой другому яму - сам в нее попадешь (упадешь) (He who digs a pit for others may fall himself therein) is studied as the verbal part of the Russian and Lithuanian demotivators. The paper provides a linguistic and cultural analysis of paremias with a toponymical component in different languages. Despite the abundance of various toponyms, which are characteristic for different countries, in these proverbs are dominated the international component, which is associated with the universal laws of human thinking, which makes it possible to find their semantic equivalents in various languages. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that paremias are considered in various aspects from the standpoint of modern humanistic education. With the development of social communications in modern society, an intercultural connection is being strengthened, requiring linguocultural commentary.

Introduction Instant messaging (IM) is pervasive in modern society, including healthcare. WhatsApp, the most cited IM application in healthcare, is used to share sensitive patient information between clinicians. Its use raises legal, regulatory and ethical concerns. Are there guidelines for the clinical use of WhatsApp? Can generic guidelines be developed for the use of IM, for one-to-one and one-to-many healthcare professional communication using WhatsApp as an example? Aim We aimed to investigate if there are guidelines for using WhatsApp in clinical practice. Method Nine electronic databases were searched in January 2019 for articles on WhatsApp in clinical service. Inclusion criteria: paper was in English, reported on WhatsApp use or potential use in clinical practice, addressed legal, regulatory or ethical issues and presented some form of guideline or guidance for WhatsApp use. Results In total, 590 unique articles were found and 167 titles and abstracts met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-one articles identified the need for general guidelines. Twelve articles provided some form of guidance for using WhatsApp. Issues addressed were confidentiality, identification and privacy (eight articles), security (seven), record keeping (four) and storage (three). Mandatory national guidelines for the use of IM for patient-sensitive information do not appear to exist, only advisories that counsel against its use. Conclusion The literature showed clinicians use IM because of its simplicity, timeliness and cost effectiveness. No suitable guidelines exist. Generic guidelines are required for the use of IM for healthcare delivery which can be adapted to local circumstance and messaging service used.

Motion Behavior

Intrinsic driving mechanism is of particular significance to nanoscale mass delivery and device design. Stiffness gradient-driven directional motion, i.e., nanodurotaxis, provides an intrinsic driving mechanism, but an in-depth understanding of the driving force is still required. Based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, here we investigate the motion behavior of a graphene flake on a graphene substrate with a stiffness jump. The effects of the temperature and the stiffness configuration on the driving force are discussed in detail. We show that the driving force is almost totally contributed by the unbalanced edge force and increases with the temperature and the stiffness difference but decreases with the stiffness level. We demonstrate in particular that the shuttle behavior of the flake between two stiffness jumps on the substrate can be controlled by the working temperature and stiffness configuration of the system, and the shuttle frequency can be well predicted by an analytical model. These findings may have general implications for the design of nanodevices driven by stiffness jumps.

This scientific article deals with the problem of antibiotic resistance. It is very difficult to give a complete picture of the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics, because this topic is very diverse and is being actively investigated. Accordingly, information about more and more cases of antibiotic resistance appears very quickly. Less than a century has passed since the beginning of large-scale use of antibiotics. In this short historical period of time, the threat of antibiotic resistance has reached a global level, and it would be wrong to deny that it is humanity that has created such an enemy through its own efforts. Antibiotic resistance is a property of a microorganism that is associated with a decrease in the quality of the effect of an antibiotic on a given culture. The driving force behind this phenomenon is evolution. With the help of random mutations, an individual appears that is not susceptible to the effects of a previously used drug. The emergence of superbugs-cultures that do not respond to the use of currently existing antibiotics will lead to a decrease in the quality of life of people. Diseases that no longer caused concern in modern society will once again become deadly.

Noosphere is understood as the sphere of living reason conditioned by the cosmic evolution of humanity. Noosphere man is the creator and inhabitant of the noosphere. The future of Russian libra ries is predetermined by civilization transformations; therefore, the noospheric man becomes an actual subject of library thought, in particular, the subject of this article. Interpreting this object is possible in two aspects: first, as a user (reader) of library of the future; secondly, as a library worker — professional in librarianship. The article considers three scenarios of formation of noosphere: technological singularity, transhumanist immortalism and panorama of the future of Russia. The author opposes two models of the man of future: technocratic and humanistic. The choice is made in favor of humanistic model of the noosphere man, as it can provide techno-humanitarian balance in post-industrial civilization. The article discusses the possibilities of cultivation of noosphere person and the role of libraries in this pedagogical process. The author emphasizes the need of the advanced education in library-information school.In conclusion, there are presented the alternatives of future development of humanity. In the first half of the 21st century, due to objective and subjective reasons, the humanity faces the choice: technocratic way of development — continuation of spontaneous increase of technological power, ultimately leading to the necrosphere, or humanistic way — cultivation of noosphere man, the creator and inhabitant of steadily developing noosphere. Ascent to the noosphere (the sphere of mind) is possible only under the condition of growing generation of people of noosphere formation. There is no pedagogically grounded model of noosphere person, but it is obvious that the basis for the formation of such model should be the cultural heritage of humankind. Library science, pedagogy and library profession as a whole face the important and responsible task — to ensure the use of diverse library resources for humanistic noospheric transformations of modern society. The national safety of Russia depends on the successful implementation of this task.
