Migration is one of important issues in the Manggaraians' life. Their migration from Manggarai to various regions in Indonesia has made subtantial impacts on Manggaraian society. Over a long period of time, they have transformed from an agrarian society into an industrial society. This socioeconomic shift has become one of recurrent themes in Manggaraian popular songs. Two of the songs featuring this theme are “Lelak Loce Renda” written by Felix Edon and “Hemong Beo” written by Yasintus S.A. Jaar. Two questions that the present study intends to answer are, what factors encourage Manggaraian people to migrate out of their home region according to the lyrics of the abovementioned two songs? and how do they perceive migration as part of their socioculturalral realities? The answers to these questions are developed using a sociocultural perspective based on a theoretical concept posited by Everett E.Lee named pull and push factors. The study has led to the conclusion that the factors that has motivated the Manggaraians to migrate out of their home region thus far can be grouped into "push" factors and "pull" factors. The greatest push factor is found in a Manggaraian cultural value called goet-goet because of which they see migrating for better future is a respectable decision. The greatest pull factor is the expectation that the places to which they want to migrate offer more economic opportunities than those available in their hometown or home villages.

In India, at present, there is a lot of hue and cry for and against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam. All the arguments are however based on false perception of migration and its ill or well effects on the economy. The latest 2011 Census does not provide the migration tables in detail. Hence, we had no other option but to use the Census 2001 data to understand the nature and trend of migration in Assam. Our analysis suggests that the recent uproar over illegal migrants from neighboring country in Assam is more of a myth than reality and does not hold much economic justification. Firstly, official data suggests that the flow of internal migration in various districts of Assam is miniscule. Moreover, it is showing a declining trend over the last few decades. The historical international migration that took place in Assam was due to mainly ‘push’ factor and no such ‘push’ factors have been in sight in the last few decades. Secondly and more importantly, migration of any form (though waning in Assam) adds to the prosperity and well-being of the state. JEL: J61, J6, Q56

The author investigates the organizational measures of modern Ukrainian society on the way of forming an effective system of science in accordance with the requirements of civilization development. Chronological boundaries of the study - the beginning of the nineteenth century until the present. The methodological basis for the study is the theoretical concept of the cyclical development of historical phenomena in relation to the world and local cultural spaces. The research is aimed at the cultural view of the modern problem of the modernization of the institute of science within the historically formed educational and scientific spaces of Ukraine. Taking a public view of the functioning of science in society for Ukraine is to identify it organizationally with the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (UAN) was founded on November 1, 1918. The Commission was responsible for the rationale for the creation of the Academy to draft a bill on the founding of the Academy of Sciences in Kyiv. The Commission included representatives of the Ukrainian scientific elite of that time, led by V.I. Vernadsky. The main functions of the UAN were the organization and coordination of the scientific forces of the state. The history of the development of the UAN testifies to the civilization content of the strategy for the development of national science for the entire period of the twentieth century. The beginning of the XXI century declared a new system of relations in the world society. The meaningfulness of such relationships is marked by a new post-industrial society. For Ukraine, the reform of the institute of science after world shifts is becoming urgent. The modern scientific space of Ukraine can be characterized as functioning of the coordinate system "universityacademy". An appeal to the principles of scientific democracy should ensure a balance between the development of science in the university sector and academic institutions. The financial self-determination of universities has an opportunity to actualize scientific research. The University is able today to ensure the development of the humanitarian component of science, which reproduces the traditions of national culture. The academic structure needs to reload the strategy for reforming the material and technical support of research work for the branches of science, which have high ratings in the countries of the world.

Water drives the world. Without it, our bodies cannot function, settlement is impossible, livestock die, and farmers cannot grow crops that feed millions. Great civilizations have been built upon irrigation, and fallen when the irrigation failed. Water carried armies, navies, commodities and labour across the globe, into places unreachable by land transport, and at far lower cost. When harnessed it produced steam engines and electricity, and helped to power industrial society. This natural resource, both fresh and salt, helped shape the patterns of empire in terms of the location of settlement and routes of communication. Irrigation became a major enterprise in the British Empire. Dammed and channelled water did not become a commodity in quite the same way as sugar, furs, or teak. But direct charges were often made for channelled water, and its value was also materialized in crops and livestock. In many places, control of water was intimately bound up with command over territory. State-owned irrigation is a highly visible assertion of power, and management of water has sometimes required a centralized and ruthless bureaucracy, not least in order to collect the new revenues generated. As with forestry, colonial states tended to claim that their approach to water involved greater rationality and efficiency, in contrast to existing indigenous practices—though individual engineers did praise the ingenuity of the latter. Some scholars have argued that despotism has followed human attempts to assert authority over water and its products, because it is a very basic way in which one group of people can dominate other, weaker groups. Such controls could also be a bedfellow of capitalist enterprise and empire. Making the link between the control of water and the rise of empires, Donald Worster has written of the American West: ‘[It] can best be described as a modern hydraulic society, which is to say, a social order based on the intensive, large-scale manipulation of water and its products in an arid setting…The technological control of water was the basis of a new West’. Ultimately, it helped to make California the leading state in America.

The article examines  the problem of the changing nature of labor and attitudes towards it. The relevance of this topic continues to grow due to current trends in socio-economic development. The author draws attention to the fact that only in the industrial society, which was formed in Europe of the XIX century as result of the industrial revolution, labor was seen as the ability, need and duty of a person, as something that did and makes him a person. The positive value status of labor persists to some extent even today, but the industrial society has ceased to exist due to the overflow of labor force from industry to service. This overflow happened because of the increase in working efficiency. In the postindustrial society the process of a general reduction in labor in favor of leisure is unfolding as the value of the latter increases and the value of the former decreases. In this regard, it is useful to remember that in the agrarian society, as well as in the era of Antiquity and the Middle Ages labor was viewed as an anti-value and was the occupation of the lower classes and estates. The attitude towards labor in the post-industrial era approaches the attitude of the pre-industrial period, turning from positive to negative, while leisure becomes self-valuable and self-sufficient. Thus, one can agree with the opinion that the civilization of labor is being replaced today by the civilization of leisure.

The article restates the theory of Nationalism, which it links to the transition from agrarian to industrial or industrializing society. In an agrarian society, culture is used to underscore a complex and fairly stable system of statuses. Political units themselves are complicated and overlapping and ill-defined, and culture does not demarcate their boundaries. In an industrial society, work ceases to be physical and becomes semantic, and society itself is highly mobile. Under these circumstances, a shared and standardized, codified culture, inculcated by formal education, becomes a precondition of social participation and employability. When shared, literacy-linked culture is very important, people identify with it and thus become ‘nationalists’. The article also traces the five stages which Europe has passed in the course of this transition: the perpetuation of the old dynastic/religious political system in 1815, the century of nationalist irredentism, the setting up of a political system in 1918 based on nationalities which was weak and self-defeating, the most intensive period of ‘ ethnic cleansing’ in the 1940s under the cover of war-time secrecy and post-war retaliation, and finally a certain demolition of the intensity of ethnic feeling during advanced industrialism, thanks to the partial convergence of industrial cultures and the softening impact of affluence.

One of the major problems faced by Indonesia (and other nations) is related to the process (transformation) from an agrarian society to an industrial society and information, which is characterized by a variety of physical changes, social institutions as well as a shift in the value system. These changes are accompanied also a clash between traditional values ​​inherent in the agrarian culture with cultural values ​​and culture industry information. Education is essentially an attempt to pass a value, which will be a helper and guide mankind in life, and also to improve the fate of human civilization. Globalization delivered by modernization and globalization and rooted in Western culture has indeed been giving a lot of achievements for the nations in various fields of life. Education, agriculture, medicine, communications, entertainment and physical infrastructure greatly benefited by the presence of modernization and globalization.

Perilaku perpindahan pelanggan terjadi saat pelanggan meninggalkan layanan atau produk awal yang mereka gunakan dan menggantinya dengan produk atau layanan baru. Fenomena ini menarik untuk diteliti seiring dengan ketatnya persaingan dan perkembangan teknologi yang memunculkan banyak alternatif produk dan layanan untuk dipilih oleh konsumen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan riset di bidang perilaku perpindahan layanan yang dilakukan oleh konsumen. Metode yang dipergunakan adalah literatur review, yaitu dengan menganalisis jurnal yang terbit pada tahun 2010 sampai dengan 2017 pada publisher emerald dan elsevier. Keyword yang dipergunakan untuk mencari adalah “consumer switching behavior”. Hasil studi pada 13 artikel jurnal ditemukan bahwa variabel yang dipergunakan untuk menganalisis perilaku perpindahan layanan di ambil dari beberapa teori perilaku yang sudah banyak dipergunakan, seperti Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), dan Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Sedangkan beberapa penelitian terbaru menunjukkan bahwa teori push and pull mooring dirasakan lebih tepat dipergunakan untuk mengukur dan menganalisis perilaku perpindahan layanan “switching behavior”. Yaitu dengan memasukkan faktor pendorong (push factors), faktor penarik (pull factors) dan faktor yang menjadi penghambat perpindahan (mooring factors). Keywords: TRA, TPB, TAM, Push Factor, Pull Factor, Mooring Factor

Timothy and Theodore Dwight saw the coming of the mills and manufacturing as an example of industry and energy among the people of New England. The Dwights looked at the development of industrialization in New England at its early stages. For them, mills and manufacturing signified increased wealth and employment, a belief shared by many New Englanders. Theodore Lyman III believed that without manufacturing, New England would be poor, miserly, and ignorant. Not all New Englanders were as optimistic about manufacturing, but those who were had the support of the courts, and significant influence in the highest offices of the region. Nineteenth-century New Englanders of all stripes realized that a rural agrarian society was giving way to an urban industrial society. They understood that this transformation not only affected the immediate environment of cities and towns but also reached into the surrounding countryside, to the farms along the river valley, up to the forests of the hills and mountains, and into the waters of the rivers, brooks, and streams that flowed awav from the factories, towns, and cities. Dams dotted the late eighteenth-century countryside. But the dams, even the small eighteenth-century ones, also flooded fields and blocked the migrating fish. In the eighteenth century, farmers and fishers whose fields were flooded by the mill dams or whose fishnets were empty because of a dam blocking the migration of anadromous fish often took direct action against the dams. The judges of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court noted that if a dam was seen as a common nuisance, “any individual of their private authority might tear it down at any season.” In 1799, Elijah Boardman and several of his Connecticut River Valley friends climbed onto Joseph Ruggles’s mill dam and ripped out the upper portion, which had raised the dam an additional ten inches and flooded fifty acres of land. Boardman admitted to destroying Ruggles’s dam but claimed the right to do so on the grounds that the dam was a public nuisance. In 1827, Oliver Moseley and twelve of his friends entered Horace White’s mill dam site and tore down the dam across the Agawam River, claiming that the dam was a nuisance.
