The purpose of the research is to analyze the elements of cultural specificity of the Oglinzi Târgu Neamţ sports camp, with a focus on the following aspects: the activity of the manager and of the managerial team, employees’ attitude, the behaviour of clients (children, students, young people, teenagers, athletes), the mental, behavioural, and attitudinal conditions in the context of globalization. Usually considered by children and teenagers the most exciting and attractive space, the camp attracts people every year, thus “producing” the most beautiful and intense memories. The camp is the place where the clients look for sportsactivity, relaxation, entertainment, and rest. At the same time, it becomes, for a shorter or longer period, a special institution, a community. For any client, the camp means emotion, surprise, knowledge, meeting expectations. The client also has the possibility of developing practical (sports) and communicational skills, of getting used to the spirit of teamwork, of expressing and developing new creative skills, of getting in contact with the customs, traditions, and culture of the area.

Social distance is closely interlinked with inter-ethnic attitudes, and there is a need in a sociological analysis of these phenomena, especially among young people, more vulnerable to the risks of ethnic intolerance and xenophobia. In 2020 in the Altay region a sociological survey was conducted among the young people from 14 to 35 years old (n=507). The article presents its results, revealing the interrelation between inter-ethnic attitudes and social distance with different ethnic groups. It was found that a little distance forms positive context of inter-ethnic relations but can lead to erosion and confusion of ethnic identity among youth. The results obtained can be used as a basis for elaboration of strategies guiding positive ethnic identity formation and grounds for measures of youth policy in the Russian Federation.

In recent decades, morality, leisure, hobbies, worldviews of Russian youth have changed radically. The catalyst for this phenomenon was the introduction of innovative technologies in almost all spheres of society. The latest gadgets, social networks, computer programs - all this allowed the young generation to jump over several turns of the human era at a time. Nevertheless, today, young people, as before, prefer society to loneliness and often form interest-oriented groups. Note that young people have always been a challenge to society, the parameters of youth consciousness, as a rule, did not fit into the framework of the generally accepted, which provoked never-ending discussions. One of these aspects has recently become the ability and readiness of modern youth to selforganize. Selforganization is a process of establishing direct connections and contacts between people in order to solve local problems and functional tasks with the further prospect of their actualization after reaching the primary goals. In view of the above, the sociocultural specificity of self-organizing processes in the youth environment seems to be an urgent topic for study. In this article, the author focuses on the features of the formation of selforganization among students of the city of Belgorod. We note that sociological studies of this nature make it possible to detect specific patterns in the dynamics of sociocultural processes taking place in the cultural space of modern society, while focusing on the most significant factors. Summing up the above, the author of the article believes that the topic of selforganization in the student community is very relevant.

Social representations of human rights violations were investigated in a questionnaire study conducted in five countries (Costa Rica, France, Italy, Romania, and Switzerland) (N = 1239 young people). We were able to show that respondents organize their understanding of human rights violations in similar ways across nations. At the same time, systematic variations characterized opinions about human rights violations, and the structure of these variations was similar across national contexts. Differences in definitions of human rights violations were identified by a cluster analysis. A broader definition was related to critical attitudes toward governmental and institutional abuses of power, whereas a more restricted definition was rooted in a fatalistic conception of social reality, approval of social regulations, and greater tolerance for institutional infringements of privacy. An atypical definition was anchored either in a strong rejection of social regulations or in a strong condemnation of immoral individual actions linked with a high tolerance for governmental interference. These findings support the idea that contrasting definitions of human rights coexist and that these definitions are underpinned by a set of beliefs regarding the relationships between individuals and institutions.

Abstract. Background: The Internet is used by young people at risk of self-harm to communicate, find information, and obtain support. Aims: We aimed to identify and analyze websites potentially accessed by these young people. Method: Six search terms, relating to self-harm/suicide and depression, were input into four search engines. Websites were analyzed for access, content/purpose, and tone. Results: In all, 314 websites were included in the analysis. Most could be accessed without restriction. Sites accessed by self-harm/suicide search terms were mostly positive or preventive in tone, whereas sites accessed by the term ways to kill yourself tended to have a negative tone. Information about self-harm methods was common with specific advice on how to self-harm in 15.8% of sites, encouragement of self-harm in 7.0%, and evocative images of self-harm/suicide in 20.7%. Advice on how to get help was given in 56.1% of sites. Conclusion: Websites relating to suicide or self-harm are easily accessed. Many sites are potentially helpful. However, a significant proportion of sites are potentially harmful through normalizing or encouraging self-harm. Enquiry regarding Internet use should be routinely included while assessing young people at risk.

Age At Exposure

Abstract. Background: We investigated the age at exposure to parental suicide and the risk of subsequent suicide completion in young people. The impact of parental and offspring sex was also examined. Method: Using a cohort study design, we linked Taiwan's Birth Registry (1978–1997) with Taiwan's Death Registry (1985–2009) and identified 40,249 children who had experienced maternal suicide (n = 14,431), paternal suicide (n = 26,887), or the suicide of both parents (n = 281). Each exposed child was matched to 10 children of the same sex and birth year whose parents were still alive. This yielded a total of 398,081 children for our non-exposed cohort. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare the suicide risk of the exposed and non-exposed groups. Results: Compared with the non-exposed group, offspring who were exposed to parental suicide were 3.91 times (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.10–4.92 more likely to die by suicide after adjusting for baseline characteristics. The risk of suicide seemed to be lower in older male offspring (HR = 3.94, 95% CI = 2.57–6.06), but higher in older female offspring (HR = 5.30, 95% CI = 3.05–9.22). Stratified analyses based on parental sex revealed similar patterns as the combined analysis. Limitations: As only register-­based data were used, we were not able to explore the impact of variables not contained in the data set, such as the role of mental illness. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a prominent elevation in the risk of suicide among offspring who lost their parents to suicide. The risk elevation differed according to the sex of the afflicted offspring as well as to their age at exposure.
