Concept Of Information

The aim of the article is to research the essence of the leading scientific approaches and foreign practices into the public security; to identify informational component of public security under the conditions of hybrid warfare. Despite significant number of publications devoted to the problems of informational security and start of counterpropaganda in Ukrainian Mass Media, the external media surrounding is still not capable yet to resist adequately Russian informational aggression. Ukrainian media policy demands substantial modernization in offensiveness, usage of new technical and manipulative capabilities. Authors analysed European model of people power and proposed the ways of its adaptation of Ukrainian reality though the actualization of those definitions, as national and public security, fundamental national interests. Also, authors made research of the modern social-political situation in Ukraine and developed proposals for improving state informational policy based on Crimea example. In addition, the actual tasks of the state policy are developed for the challenges based on hybrid warfare. The practical aim of the publication is to develop and implement scientifically justified conceptual approaches to counteract the Russification of the Ukrainian population in the conditions of Crimea annexation and armed conflict in the East of Ukraine. Based on the analysis of the situation with freedom of speech and mass media in the occupied Crimea, authors submitted proposals on strengthening the Ukrainian information presence on the peninsula; the basic principles of development and implementation of the National concept of information policy in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol are substantiated. Negative trends that already exist in the domestic media space are highlighted and ways to minimize them are proposed. Special attention was paid to the need for a coordinated large-scale and daily information campaign on Crimea.

Independent mass media are an important part of democracy. Their task is to control whether democratic principles are truly fulfilled in society. Furthermore, their responsibility is to inform the public about important political and socio-political issues. Mass media provide the platform for bigger citizen participation but also for fun and education. The aim of this article is to characterize the functions of mass media in modern democracies according to two types of sources – ones from scholars which focus on the relationship between mass media and democracy and others from scholars that focus on mass media theory and relationship of mass media with percipients. By the method of analysis it was concluded that the most important function of mass media in both types of sources was to provide information. However, other functions appear in a number of publications as well, e.g., mass media as a watchdog or as a platform to exchange opinions and ideas.

The purpose of the article is to study the role of television series as a system-forming factor of modern public communication in the field of domestic television space. The relevance of the article is determined by the insufficient knowledge of the structure and content of modern television series, which is the public basis of communication. In the scientific discourse there are no works that make it possible to comprehend the television series as part of the general cultural media space and contribute to the identification of semiotic codes that determine the unity of the sphere of public communication. The article points out that the development of the information and cultural space is becoming a factor of a powerful influence on society, especially young people. The article reveals the basic principles of building a postmodern television space, defines its specificity as an element of cultural policy. In this sense, the thematic content of the television series is based not so much on the foundation of pure artistic creativity as on the information field that the media form. The television series has the ability to blur the line between documentary and artistic reality and brings this communication characteristic to a new level – creating artistically revised reconstructions of real events within the framework of the paradigm “as it really was”. Due to this, the television can have a powerful manipulative potential.

Large-scale food-borne outbreaks caused by Salmonella are rarely seen nowadays, thanks to the advanced nature of the medical system. However, small, localised outbreaks in certain regions still exist and could possess a huge threat to the public health if eradication measure is not initiated. This review discusses the progress of Salmonella detection approaches covering their basic principles, characteristics, applications, and performances. Conventional Salmonella detection is usually performed using a culture-based method, which is time-consuming, labour intensive, and unsuitable for on-site testing and high-throughput analysis. To date, there are many detection methods with a unique detection system available for Salmonella detection utilising immunological-based techniques, molecular-based techniques, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, optical phenotyping, and biosensor methods. The electrochemical biosensor has growing interest in Salmonella detection mainly due to its excellent sensitivity, rapidity, and portability. The use of a highly specific bioreceptor, such as aptamers, and the application of nanomaterials are contributing factors to these excellent characteristics. Furthermore, insight on the types of biorecognition elements, the principles of electrochemical transduction elements, and the miniaturisation potential of electrochemical biosensors are discussed.

The following article presents a systematic review of the studies of religion in the mediatized public sphere of Scandinavian countries. The mediatized public sphere is tackled as constituted by interrelated media spaces, those of mass media, the Internet, and religious media and media of popular culture which are specifically organized public spaces, each of which varies in their degree of openness to different publics. A review of the empirical research reveals the specificity of the public (re)presentations of religion in each media space. In the Scandinavian mass media, religious issues are covered within the political frame, and “banalized” (Hjavard, 2013), while religious organizations have few opportunities to influence the representation of religious content. Due to its’ non-strict “entrance fee” and the spread of horizontal links, religious issues are articulated by agents though different ideologies on the Internet. Religious media space is an environment where religious organizations seek to maintain an institutional version of the religious narrative. In the media of popular culture, religious themes as a part of popular culture are interpreted aesthetically, and thus, makes this space a repository of religious meanings and identities that can be used in the course of political and public discussions about religion. The variety of media spaces enables the public circulation of diverse representations of religion, and allows various groups to discuss their ideological articulations of religion. However, this results in the polarization of public debates about religion and the fragmentation of the audience. The proposed model of the media spheres’ division into political spaces can be used as a framework for the analysis of the (re)presentation of religion in the Russian media.

Drilling holes in someone's skull and destroying parts of the brain is the kind of scenario dreamt up by anti-psychiatrists. That it can happen in practice - and once happened on a fairly large scale - remains a matter of sensitivity for the public image of psychiatry, notwithstanding that there are still cogent reasons to retain leucotomy in its armamentarium. So any presentation of this subject on the mass media needs to be done with the greatest responsibility, and should convey an accurate message.

As a result of large-scale processes and trends that have taken place in recent decades in the context of globalization and the information revolution, forms, methods, means and, accordingly, interpretations of national interests and national security are being more or less noticeably metamorphosed. Against this background, in recent years, the concept of "hybrid wars" has rapidly entered the military-political lexicon. It is not only firmly established in the scientific and journalistic literature, as well as in the media, but is also widely used in official documents determining the behavior of states in the international arena. New concepts and methods of conducting hybrid war are developing very rapidly today, which requires a revision of the classic military methods of forecasting and planning both offensive and defensive strategies. Like any other war, gybrid war is an area of unreliability and uncertainty. The inaccuracy of intelligence and the constant intervention of chance lead to the fact that the parties to the conflict actually face a completely different situation than expected, and this can not but affect the planning or at least the perceptions of the situation that formed the basis of strategic plans. The transformation of hybrid warfare into a new type of interstate confrontation raises the issue of the use of modern tools of support and decision-making as a priority. The use of the hybrid war model for this purpose is increasingly going beyond the purely scientific sphere, making it an effective factor in ensuring the national security of countries. The development of effective hybrid warfare strategies and counter-strategies requires the introduction of new technologies based on the modeling and application of AI. The symbiosis of modern scientific knowledge and approaches allows us to study, predict and plan modern hybrid military conflicts as nonlinear objects operating in conditions of high uncertainty. Model, created for this purpose, should be easily integrated into the political and military decision-making process and, given the complexity of this activity, be integrated. This approach will provide an adequate understanding of the complex, ever-changing phenomena of hybrid warfare and hybrid threads and take them into account in the system of national and global security.

Using published estimates of inequality for two countries (Russia and USA) the paper demonstrates that inequality measuring still remains in the state of “statistical cacophony”. Under this condition, it seems at least untimely to pass categorical normative judgments and offer radical political advice for governments. Moreover, the mere practice to draw normative conclusions from quantitative data is ethically invalid since ordinary people (non-intellectuals) tend to evaluate wealth and incomes as admissible or inadmissible not on the basis of their size but basing on whether they were obtained under observance or violations of the rules of “fair play”. The paper concludes that a current large-scale ideological campaign of “struggle against inequality” has been unleashed by left-wing intellectuals in order to strengthen even more their discursive power over the public.

The urgency of the researched problem is connected with the growing role of mass media in modern conditions leads to change of values and transformation of identity of the person. The active growth of the role of the media, their influence on the formation and development of personality leads to the concept of “media socialization” and immutation in the media. The aim of the study is to outline the possibilities of the process of media socialization in the context of immutation in the media. The methods of our research are: analysis of pedagogical, psychological, literature, synthesis, comparison, generalization. The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on the problem of immutation in the media and the transformation of the information space. In the context of the mass nature of the immutation of society, the concept of “media socialization” becomes relevant, which is the basis for reducing the negative impact of the media on the individual.The author identifies the lack of a thorough study of the concept of “media socialization” in modern scientific thought. Thus, media socialization is associated with the transformation of traditional means of socialization, and is to assimilate and reproduce the social experience of mankind with the help of new media.The article analyzes the essence of the concepts “media space”, “mass media” and “immutation”. The influence of mass media on the formation and development of the modern personality is described in detail.The study concluded that it is necessary to form a media culture of the individual, to establish safe and effective interaction of young people with the modern media system, the formation of media awareness, media literacy and media competence in accordance with age and individual characteristics for successful media socialization. The role of state bodies in solving the problem of media socialization of the individual was also determined. It is determined that the process of formation of media culture in youth should take place at the level of traditional institutions of socialization of the individual.The author sees the prospect of further research in a detailed analysis and study of the potential of educational institutions as an institution and a means of counteracting the mass nature of the immutation of society.Key words: immutation, media socialization, mass media, media space, information.
