New production technologies create more opportunities to meet people’s needs. However, they inevitably increase the antropogenic load on the environment. Therefore, the social conditions of industrial production have to be changed in such a way as to use the new technologies to solve the emerging problems without aggravating them. One option is to increase the knowledge intensity of production, which means that specific weight of knowledge should be embodied in the production and dominate the material costs. Another option is to replace human functions by automated production means. However, the current social production conditions concentrate new technological opportunities on the production and sales growth, which further increases consumption and the volume of absorbed natural resources. Consumption also grows due to the false needs imposed on consumers. Knowledge-intensive production creates prerequisites for the transition to the second generation industrial society, but this transition alone cannot solve the numerous global problems. The only solution is to replace the current economic criteria of production and consumption with those based on reason and culture, i.e. noonomy, which is a non-economic way of satisfying people’s needs. The roadmap towards noonomy should be a consciously managed strategic project based of the concept of strategizing developed by Professor V.L. Kvint.

The challenges and global problems facing humanity urgently need to be ad­dressed. Will new technologies become a means of exacerbating these problems and will they have a destructive impact on the nature of man himself? There is such a risk. However, new technological advances simultaneously open up op­portunities for solving these problems. The transition to a new industrial society of second-generation based on the growth of knowledge-intensive production makes it possible to expand the satisfaction of human needs while reducing the burden on the natural environment. But for this to happen, there must be a shift in people’s motivation, a shift away from the pursuit of material goods driven by economic rationality and the satisfaction of false needs inflated by the market, and a transition to a non – economic mode of production – noonomy. This shift is possible, of course, not on the basis of “persuasion” or compulsion to asceti­cism, but on the basis of objective changes in the conditions of human existence: his exit from direct material production, his transition to creative activity, the ex­pansion (on the material basis of the production system of the next generation) of opportunities to meet his reasonable needs. People themselves will set limits to their needs, focusing them not on the absorption of the greatest possible amount of goods, but on the conditions of their self-realization. It is on this path that it is possible to solve the urgent problems of development – both of civiliza­tion and of human personality – and to mitigate social conflicts on the basis of objectively increasing socialization of society and on the ideological platform of solidarity, and, in the future, to eliminate their causes.

Results from a 16-yr fertility study conducted on fallow and stubble throughout southwestern Saskatchewan were used to assess the effects of technology adoption on spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yields and the influence of available N on the yield effect of these new technologies. The magnitude of the residual trend (after the effect of growing-season precipitation was removed) was considered to reflect the yield increases attributable solely to the newly adopted technologies. Of the independent variables monitored, May and July precipitation and total available water on fallow plots were affected by time. Yields of wheat grown on stubble and fallow increased by an average 48 and 64 kg ha−1 yr−1, respectively. Of this annual yield increase, 52% on stubble and 78% on fallow were attributed to the adoption of new production technologies, with the remainder being explained by the trends observed in May and July precipitation. Nitrogen availability was an important factor in determining the magnitude of the trend due to technology adoption. The technology trend increased linearly from about 10 kg ha−1 yr−1, at the lowest available N levels, to about 65 kg ha−1 yr−1 when 98 kg N ha−1 was available; there were no further yield increases above this level of N. These results demonstrate that the full benefits of adopting new production technologies and more productive cultivars may not be achieved unless other growth-limiting factors, such as N availability, are removed. Further, this study demonstrates that researchers conducting long-term studies must be aware of possible time trends that may alter or obscure effects of treatments, thus making detrending procedures a basic requirement of data analyses in these types of studies. Key words: Spring wheat, yields, N fertilizer, available nitrogen, available water, trends

The birth of industrial society produced demand for the services of professionals specialized in matters related to industrial safety. Three professions—safety engineering, industrial medicine, and ergonomics—are examined. These professions are observed to either submit to single sets of demands, to integrate contradictory demands, or to experience scission. Until the late 1960s their growth appears to have been relatively peaceful and uncontroversial. From this period onward, controversy breaks out over questions related to industrial safety, and professions and government administrations grow. Increasingly, the traditional approach of safety professionals is called into question, and they adopt new orientations. These changes are mapped through the examination of data drawn principally from the United States, France, Great Britain, and to a lesser extent Brazil. The traditional standards approach competes with cost-benefit analysis and with systemic safety for influence; in addition, an emergent approach that analyzes accident causes in terms of social relations of work is detected. From Bhopal to Chernobyl, new technologies subject civilian populations to risks of catastrophic accidents, and the action of safety professionals comes under the spotlight. The analysis constructed permits new understandings of the past and the future of these professions.

Abstract: The development of post-industrial society initiates profound economic, technological and cultural change in the way of life of all mankind. The revolutionary breakthroughs in the field of new technologies such as biotechnology and information technology are reflected in all spheres of human activity, directly affecting the human security. The article analyzes the consequences of widespread usage biotechnology and information technology in the foreign policy practice on the basis of the human security theory. The detailed description of the main directions of the use of biometric technology in the foreign policy and consular practices is provided, the challenges and threats to information security associated with biometrics are analyzed, arising from widespread biotechnology are the main challenges and threats to as well as human security threats arising at the present stage of development and application of these technologies. Human security threats associated with the use of biotechnology are placed in the broader context of global trends in scientific and technological development. The recommendations are formulated in the field of foreign policy and international cooperation, which would neutralize new threats to international and personal safety arising at the present stage of development of biotechnology. The authors conclude that in order to ensure ethical regulation of new technologies that address issues of human security, it is necessary to organize multi-stakeholder partnerships at national and international level with the participation of states, representatives of civil society, business and the research community.

The article describes the possible impact of modern technological changes (disruptive technologies, digitalization, and automation) on regional development in Russia based on the patterns of geography of innovations and previous trends. The rates of non-resource growth over the past twenty years have been higher in those regions where inventive activity, intensity of R&D expenditures, share of researchers and employees with higher education were higher, but the same relationship cannot be traced with the intensity of the use of advanced production technologies (automation) and the availability of the Internet. During the declared pandemic in Russia in 2020, patent activity in the vast majority of regions decreased, the processes of production automation slowed down, but digitalization accelerated in terms of internet access and the development of online commerce. The creation of disruptive technologies is still concentrated in large cities and super-regions due to agglomeration effects, knowledge spillovers and concentration of human capital. But the effects of their introduction and distribution can be differentiated. In the leading regions with high proportion of creative professionals and entrepreneurs, development may accelerate, in old industrial regions, automation will increase the risks of temporary unemployment and inequality. For the least developed territories, the lack of digitalization potential and lack of highly qualified personnel may further worsen the situation.

An information system is proposed that uses a new complex methodology for choosing a method for well operation based on applicability criteria and boundary conditions for the parameters of mechanized productivity technologies. A mechanism for selecting technologies is presented, which consists of filtering the general register of technologies according to the selected parameters for assessing the total cost of ownership at the Company’s fields. The process of forming and updating the technology base, criteria of applicability and their boundary conditions is considered. Graphic materials illustrate the prototype of this system. The developed methodology will speed up the process of introducing new production technologies, which in turn will lead to a positive economic effect – a decrease in the total cost of ownership of equipment for oil production at the Exploration and Production Block.

Knowledge Management (KM) is the process of critically managing knowledge to meet existing needs, identify and exploit existing and acquired knowledge assets and develop new opportunities (Quintas et al, 1997). With the emergence of knowledge-intensive industries, where organisations rely on knowledge of their staff for competitive advantage (Lustri et al., 2007), KM has become key for business success (Mu-jung et al., 2007). KM is now an integral business function (Zhou and Fink, 2003) in both traditional and internet-based businesses (Borges Tiago et al., 2007) to the extent that KM is now viewed essential for profit (Yang, 2008). It is widely acknowledged today that new technologies, in particular access to the Internet, tend to modify communication between stakeholders in the business world, such as relationships between the organisation and its clients, the internal functioning of the organisation, including enterprise-employee relationships and the relationship of the organisation with partners and suppliers. This integration to improve the functioning of the organisation to create value for all parties involved is referred to as Electronic Commerce (e-commerce, EC) (Turban et al, 2006).

Margaret Preston was a pioneering modernist who worked across a range of media, including ceramics, china painting, and basketry, as well as painting and printmaking. Preston was attuned to modernism, like many other women artists of her generation. Her reductive portrait, titled Flapper (1928), profiles a forceful New Woman or "flapper": a smart, working girl with her own money to spend, the type of girl who entered the factories and commercial and service sectors to fill new jobs in retail and office work after the War. In both subject matter and pictorial style, Preston aligned herself with the signs of modernity, including urban life and leisure, consumerism, and the new production processes. Preston described her kitchen table as a modernist laboratory, and she embraced new technologies, machine-like forms, materials, and processes of domestic modernity as fitting subjects for art. We see this in her domestic still life Implement Blue (1927), where Preston’s cubist approach to the motif also shows the influence of art deco, cinema, and glamour photography. Preston trained initially in Adelaide and at the National Gallery School in Melbourne before heading to Europe in 1904 for the first of many overseas trips. She married at the close of the War and remained childless, enjoying financial security and opportunities for international travel that fueled an ongoing fascination with the art of other cultures.
