Ebben a tanulmányban arra a kérdésre keressük a választ, hogy a főképp nyugati tudományos kutatói környezetben megtermelt, kortárs tudományos eredményekben hogyan jelenik meg a média és a muszlimok viszonya, valamint, hogy ezen eredmények létrejöttének körülményeiben milyen hasonlóságokat és eltéréseket lehet felfedezni. Az Európát az IS közép-keleti tevékenysége, a szíriai polgárháború és más okok miatt az elmúlt években egyre nagyobb mértékben érinti a muszlim bevándorlás jelensége. Ez, továbbá a bevándorló muszlimok és a többségi nemzet közti interakciók problémái indokolttá teszik ezeknek a közelmúltbeli tudományos eredményeknek részletesebb, a tematizáció, a geográfiai eloszlás, a vizsgált minták és a mintaméret, az adott kutatáshoz elnyert támogatások és más egyéb releváns szempontok szerinti metaelemzését. A következőkben bemutatjuk a kitűzött célok megvalósítását egy N=160 szakcikkből álló mintán, a muszlimokról szóló kutatások (N=33) kiválogatását követő szisztematikus analízis lefolytatásával és a média szerepét és hatását vizsgáló tematikus elemzéssel. Azt találtuk, hogy a vizsgált mintán belül a médiában megjelenő muszlim-képek három fő típusa azonosítható: Az erőszakot individuális vagy állami szinten alkalmazó entitás, az erőszakot elszenvedő áldozat, illetve a „nyugattal” kulturálisan és viselkedésileg szembenálló idegen. --- Moving Images: a Systematic Analysis on the Media Representation of Muslims in Recent Sociological Research In this study, we are looking for an answer to the question of how the relation of media and muslims is represented in contemporary scientific results, produced mostly in a western research environment and, furthermore, of what similarities and differences can be shown between the circumstances characterizing the emergence of these results. As a result of IS’s activities in the Middle East, of the current civil war in Syria and of other causes, Europe is increasingly affected by the phenomenon of muslim immigration. This, as well as the problematics of national majority-Muslim minority interactions make the goal of conducting a meta-analysis of recently published results reasonable, focusing on issues of thematization, geographical distribution, analyzed samples and sample sizes as well as on grants obtained by the authors for a specific research. In the following, we realize our research objectives through conducting a systematic analysis on a section (N=33) of a larger (N=160) sample of peer-reviewed articles, and by a thematic analysis of the same section focusing on the role and influence of various media. We found that within the sample, images of Muslims in the media can be categorized in three main types: An entity using violence at the individual or state level, a victim of violence, and an outsider culturally or behaviorally in defiance of the West.

Introduction. The task of forming of the personality of an officer who possesses not only the sum of knowledge, skills and abilities, but a developed system of values, and, ultimately, intelligence is relevant for modern higher and military schools. To solve this problem, it is necessary not only to properly organize and direct teaching and educational activities, but also to establish the psychological structure of the intelligence of the future officer, as well as the peculiarities of its functioning. The author tackles the issues of researching the concept and structure, as well as identifying the features of the mental functioning of intelligence, based on the use of systemic and interdisciplinary analysis, by studying the array of literature from various areas of social and humanitarian knowledge, while revealing the psychological laws of the real life of intelligence.The study presents the main scientific results of the theoretical and systemic analysis of the psychological structure of the officer's intelligence, in which the formal, meaningful as well as functional and activity aspects are revealed.Materials and Methods. As the main research methodology, the authors use axiological, historiographic, systematic, cultural-historical and activity approaches adapted for solving problems. The main research methods were: hypothetical-deductive method; analysis, synthesis, comparison, analogy and abstraction; systematic analysis and modeling.Results. The main scientific results of the research are the systematic conclusions about the psychological structure of intelligence, generalized by the author, revealed on the one hand, on the basis of the analysis of literary sources, and on the other hand, through the study of its real functioning and being in the mental activity of the individual.Discussion and Conclusions. The mind of a military intellectual is the functioning of complex mental formations in the structure of the personality, which makes it possible to correlate events and facts of activity with the general life-meaning problems of his subjective being; he is characterized by a developed intellect and the constancy of the application of critical thinking.


The article analyzes the phenomenon of trust in risky societies by the example of hitchhiking as a practice of free travel on non-scheduled transport. It is emphasized that trust is the fundamental component of the actualization of the hitchhiking as a sociocultural phenomenon and practice, alternative to other types of spatial mobility. The processes of the emergence and reproduction of interpersonal trust in risk societies are investigated. Attention is paid to the interdependence of personified trust and trust to social institutions. Theoretical approaches to the study of risk and trust, presented in the works of such researchers as U. Beck, A. Giddens, N. Luhmann, P. Bourdieu, are reviewed. The characteristic is given to the car as to the main tool for the implementation of hitchhiking practices. In the modern world, it has both practical and symbolic functions: spatial movement and maintaining of the social status of the individual. The historical experience of developing hitchhiking at the state level and the attempts of its institutionalization are analyzed. An example of two countries (USSR, FRG) strategies shows that such experience was quite successful. Attention is focused on hitchhiking coverage in the media, which forming a negative discourse about this phenomenon. The role of hitchhiking in the formation of interpersonal trust is considered. It is demonstrated that hitchhiking helps to build a positive image of the “other”, and also creates a situation in which trust becomes a core component of social relations. Without this component such relations are impossible. The conclusion is made that the process of institutionalization of the hitchhiking as a well-established sociocultural practice can contribute to the social consolidation of modern Ukrainian society.

The harmonious existence of the individual in the modern informational era, which is overly saturated with rapidly developing media technologies, is almost impossible without the developed readiness of the individual for lifelong continuous self-education. The formation and development of this readiness can begin during the formal training at the stage of higher education of the person and continue during informal education throughout his future life. Stages of socialization and professionalization of the person have a great influence on the level nature of this readiness. Based on scientific achievements in the field of self-education of university students, national and world media education, we developed dynamic and competence models of media educational concept of developing a person’s readiness for lifelong self-education. The concept demonstrates interconnection of these two models, as well as consistency with the previously developed normative model of developing this readiness.

‘Classic’ forest plots show the effect sizes from individual studies and the aggregate effect from a meta-analysis. However, in ecology and evolution meta-analyses routinely contain over 100 effect sizes, making the classic forest plot of limited use. We surveyed 102 meta-analyses in ecology and evolution, finding that only 11% use the classic forest plot. Instead, most used a ‘forest-like plot’, showing point estimates (with 95% confidence intervals; CIs) from a series of subgroups or categories in a meta-regression. We propose a modification of the forest-like plot, which we name the ‘orchard plot’. Orchard plots, in addition to showing overall mean effects and CIs from meta-analyses/regressions, also includes 95% prediction intervals (PIs), and the individual effect sizes scaled by their precision. The PI allows the user and reader to see the range in which an effect size from a future study may be expected to fall. The PI, therefore, provides an intuitive interpretation of any heterogeneity in the data. Supplementing the PI, the inclusion of underlying effect sizes also allows the user to see any influential or outlying effect sizes. We showcase the orchard plot with example datasets from ecology and evolution, using the R package, orchard, including several functions for visualizing meta-analytic data using forest-plot derivatives. We consider the orchard plot as a variant on the classic forest plot, cultivated to the needs of meta-analysts in ecology and evolution. Hopefully, the orchard plot will prove fruitful for visualizing large collections of heterogeneous effect sizes regardless of the field of study.

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.

The article is devoted to the study of evaluative tools used in modern French media in order to form the media image of a representative of the political elite. The techniques used in the creation of a memorial media portrait of Jacques Chirac (1932—2019), President of France from 1995 to 2007 are considered. The research material was the most prestigious French print media of various political orientations, published in late September — early October 2019 in connection with the death of the ex-President of the French Republic. The relevance of the research topic is dictated by the close attention of modern linguistics to axiological phenomena, differently presented in different types of discursive practices. The novelty of the study is due to the appeal to the analysis of the complex of evaluation tools used in the French print media when characterizing the former leader of the state during the nation’s farewell period. The estimated potential of the title of the article and its influence on the formation of the estimated vector of the entire text of the publication are shown. A systematic analysis of the assessment expression means, reflected in the memorial media portrait of the politician, is given. The factors that influenced the peculiarities of their use in this type of media portrait are revealed.

AbstractSubjective vitality is a positive feeling of aliveness and energy, and it is a crucial aspect of well-being. The Subjective Vitality Scales (SVS) have been developed to measure subjective vitality both at the individual difference level and the state level in English-speaking samples. We translated the SVS into German (the SVS-G) and examined their psychometric properties. In Study 1 (N=260), we found that two correlated factors (Factor 1: individual difference level; Factor 2: state level) with five items each constituted a useful structure for the SVS-G. Moreover, the scores on the individual difference scale were more stable than the scores on the state scale. We also found partial evidence for the measurement invariance over a period of three weeks. Conforming to our expectations, Study 2 (N=296) revealed that the SVS-G scores were related to positive and negative affect but could still be distinguished from the affect variables. In line with previous findings, Study 3 (N=203) showed that SVS-G scores are related to well-being variables (happiness and joviality) and the perceived capacity to actively perform effortful tasks (attentiveness and capacity for self-control). Across all the studies, the SVS-G showed satisfying inner consistency, and the two consideration levels (individual differences vs. state) could be differentiated. The initial evidence suggests that overall, the SVS-G have good psychometric properties.

Tissue was obtained from the testes of three men, two in the age range 72-75 years (subjects A and B) and one aged 25 years (subject C). Parts of the testes were dissected to obtain samples of interstitium and tubules. The individual components and whole tissue were each incubated with equimolar concentrations of [7 α - 3 H]pregnenolone and [4- 14 C]progesterone in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer pH 7.4, at 35 °C with the addition of glucose but without cofactors. Some incubations were carried out with the substrates [4- 14 C]androstenedione and [7 α - 3 H]testosterone. The media were extracted both at various time intervals throughout the incubation for a kinetic study of the metabolic activity and after a fixed interval of time at the end of the incubations. In some incubations with whole tissue both media and tissue were extracted. Both the tubules and interstitium displayed steroid metabolic activity. Qualitatively they yielded the same range of metabolites, one series leading to the formation of testosterone (∆ 5 pathway) and the other to a variety of C 21 compounds as represented by 5 α -pregnan-3 β -ol-20-one. With similar amounts of tissue there was little difference in the yields of the main products formed by the tubules as compared with those formed by the interstitium; in incubations with [4- 14 C]androstenedione the rate of conversion to [ 14 C ]testosterone by the tubules greatly exceeded that due to the interstitium. Marked differences were found in the pattern of steroid metabolism by whole tissue as compared to the general pattern presented by the corresponding tubules and interstitium. It is concluded that the seminiferous tubules and interstitium of the human testis are both capable of steroid metabolism and hence that whole tissue incubations alone are of limited value and could give rise to misleading data. Some clinical aspects of the results are briefly discussed.
