The article discusses the policy of the municipalities' Heads in relation to entrepreneurs acquiring a political status and deputies with a business background. The Heads strive to maintain a high level of influence within the territory. Entrepreneurs see their entry into legislatures as an opportunity to acquire new social ties, including ones with officials, and as an opportunity to normatively regulate the context of business activities on the territory. Two scenarios of the relations between the Head and businessmen are identified: the cooperation and the conflict. Commonality or conflict of interests of the municipality and local business determine the choice of a strategy. The intensity of conflict or consensus is determined by the measure of support that the parties give each other. The article explores the interaction of Heads with small and medium businesses. The article is based on the results of the research conducted in four municipalities of the Sverdlovsk and Perm Regions. The main research method is interviews with Heads and other actors of local policies.

Socio-political changes in the world actualize one of the most significant social roles of every person — the citizen. Modern youth are gradually joining the socially active part of the population. This article briefly presents the view of foreign researchers on the development of citizenship from childhood. It also describes the results of the research, the aim of which is to study the characteristics of civic position in early and late adulthood. In this case, the subject’s ego-identity status is taken into account. The main research method is an ascertaining experiment using methods aimed at establishing the status of ego-identity of boys and girls. The study involved 729 people (217 boys and 512 girls) aged 14–24 years. The main hypotheses of the study were the following assumptions. As they grow older, the statuses of the general ego identity are replaced by higher ones. The level of formation of civic position is partly contained in the level of personal identity: a high level of civic position correlates to high indicators of general ego-identity. According to the results of the experiment, the hypotheses are confirmed. In addition, gender differences were found in the studied indicators. This study can serve as a basis for further exploration of the topics of civic position, social maturity and activity. In the future, it is possible to create social programs aimed at raising the level of political consciousness and involvement of young people in social activities.

Abstract Along with mastery of the grammar and vocabulary of a given language, contemporary students are also expected to acquire intercultural communicative competence (ICC), i.e., the ability to use the language efficiently with regard to the sociocultural background of the communicative situation. This requirement should also be reflected in FL course-books, which are considered to be fundamental didactic tools in FL education, even in an era of information communication technologies. Therefore, the aim of the present paper is to report the results of the research focused on the investigation of intercultural component in the New Opportunities Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate course-book packages. To validate the findings of the content analysis, as the main research method, the method of triangulation was used, i.e., the results of the course-book package analyses were compared with those of observation and interview analyses. The findings of the research revealed that in the investigated course-book packages only some aspects of the intercultural component could be considered relevant because they were suitably treated.

Based on the results of the descriptive bivariate analysis of religiosity and the implementation of Muslim nursing care in 2018, it was shown that out of 0 (100%) respondents at a high level of religiosity overall did not implement complete Muslim spiritual nursing care, 24 people (100%) and 6 (100 %) respondents with a low level of religions overall did not carry out complete implementation of Muslim spiritual nursing care, namely 6 (100%) respondents. This shows that descriptively students who have high religiosity and low religiosity do not implement Muslim spiritual nursing care (AKSM).

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate how the city is influenced by the ritual of Muharram. The main research question is: what is the relationship between the city and the ritual of Muharram? To answer this question, we examined different intangible layers of this ritual heritage. This study is based on the three components of the sense of place. The research method is qualitative and a context-oriented approach is adopted. The context of the study is the historical texture of the city of Gorgan, Iran. The data were collected through library research and immediate observation. Next, content analysis and data coding were used to obtain a set of thematic categories. The results suggest that, as a kind of ritual-social behavior, the ritual of Muharram has had remarkable, enduring effects on the city over centuries. The non-urban-development dimension has thus allowed for the formation of sense of place in the relationship between people and the urban environment through a different process.

We adopt a multi-theoretic approach to investigate a previously unexplored phenomenon in extant literature, namely the differential impact of ownership identity and director dominate shareholding on the performance of emerging market firms. The main research question addressed is, whether the impact of this relationship is conditional on the identity of the block investor. First, the relationship between overall block ownership and firm performance is tested by employing multiple regressions on 500 firm-year observations for the period from 2007 to 2011. Then, the block ownership is classified as the state, individuals, insiders, financial institutions, corporate and foreign investors and the influence of these identities on firm performance is examined. It was found that only the ownership categories such as the government, institutions and foreign ownership have positive influence on the firm performance. The results also indicate that high level of insider ownership also negatively associated with the firm performance. The main contribution of this paper is the examination of the relationship between block ownership and firm performance from the perspective of the identity of investors

The main research is the dynamics characteristic of the shock excitation part of electro hydraulic control harmonic aging stress elimination devices. Use the system dynamics knowledge to set up a dynamics model of the shock excitation part. Analyze the transfer function of system and then use MATLAB to draw graphics under the condition of different parameters. Through the simulation graphic's analysis, we can obtain the influence of various parameters on system model, so as to provide a reference for the system optimization. MATLAB is abbreviation of Matrix Laboratory, which is used for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis and numerical calculation of high-level technical computing language and interactive environment. It is useful for us in modeling and simulation.

The article covers the topic of the networked identity that is relevant in the context of the rapid informatization of society and politics. The author considers the display of network elements of political and identification processes during the specific political events taking place in France (the movement of "yellow vests"). The analysis shows at least 2 sustainable approaches to the study of networkization of modern political and identification processes. The first focuses on the emergence of a new type of identity (networked). The second emphasizes not the emergence of a new type of identity (networked), but rather the networkization of existing, established types of identities. The author chooses the case method as the main research method to fulfill the task set in the paper. The author chooses the case method as the main research method and identifies five attributes of the networked identity display during political events related to the movement of “yellow vests” in France: a variety of ideas (and identities) among the participants of the movement; a wide and changing (situational, related to fluctuations in the information agenda) set of requirements; structural de-hierarchization of the movement; the geographically dispersed locations of the protest activity and its longevity.
