В настоящее время ведущим элементом эдьютейнмента стали технологии анимации. Поскольку сам эдьютейнмент в большей степени предназначен для детского образования, то становится понятной предпочтительность данной технологии. Вместе с тем развлекательные и сюрпризные формы нашли свое применение и в образовании взрослых, в частности в создании различных ресурсов «цифрового» образования. Такой спектр реализации эдьютейнмента – от образования детей до образования взрослых – ставит проблему определения границ применения используемых способов визуализации. Для диагностики этих границ, имеющих семиотическую сущность, релевантностью обладают позиции и методологические инициативы педагогической биоэтики. Эти позиции и инициативы продиктованы определением взаимосвязи этических, коммуникативных и ценностных пределов различных локусов в образовательном пространстве, устанавливаемых с целью защиты индивидуальных жизненных ориентаций субъектов обучения и воспитания. Отмеченные обстоятельства отвечают направлениям модернизации образования: развитие современных детей с их собственным взглядом на мир, с их особенностями восприятия и усвоения нового опыта, знаний и умений, – а также отвечают социальным запросам к современному образованию: формирование личностей с уникальными способностями, прежде всего способностями к уникальной рецепции, акцептуации и интерпретации. Развитие этих способностей и, следовательно, формирование навыков игры разных коммуникативных ролей и самостоятельного выбора своей роли становятся способом адаптации к условиям неопределенности социальных сценариев, то есть к условиям настоящего и прогнозируемого будущего, в которых происходит жизнь современного человека. Анимация в качестве элемента эдьютейнмента считается универсальным образовательным инструментом, максимально приспособленным к трансляции игровых интерактивных методик обучения. Анимация очень важна для повышения эффективности наглядного обучения. Кроме того, довольно трудно выбрать вид визуального искусства, так пересекающий тезаурусы учеников, их законных представителей, будущих учителей и учителей. Представленные акценты в установленных резонансах эдьютейнмента и педагогической биоэтики позволили определить условия разработки образовательных технологий визуализации: визуализация служит только разъяснению, но не доказательности; в основе разработки должны быть заложены конкурирующие теории; результат разработки воплощает консенсус теоретической конкуренции. Currently, animation technologies have become the leading element of edutainment. Since edutainment is intended more for children’s education, the preference of this technology becomes clear. Entertaining and surprising forms have also found their application in adult education, in particular, in the creation of various resources for “digital” education. Such a spectrum of implementation of edutainment (from the education of children to the education of adults) poses the problem of determining the boundaries of the application of the visualization methods used. The diagnosis of these boundaries has a semiotic essence. Positions and methodological initiatives of pedagogical bioethics are relevant for the diagnosis of these boundaries. These positions and initiatives are dictated by the definition of the relationship between ethical, communicative, and value limits of various loci in the educational space. The limits are established in order to protect individual life orientations of subjects of training and education. The noted circumstances correspond to the directions of modernization in education: the development of modern children with their own view of the world, with their peculiarities of perception and assimilation of new experience, knowledge, and skills. The circumstances also meet the social needs of modern education: the formation of individuals with unique abilities, first of all, the ability for unique reception, acceptance, and interpretation. The development of these abilities and, consequently, the formation of the skills of playing different communicative roles and the independent choice of one’s role becomes a way of adaptation to the conditions of uncertainty in social scenarios, that is, to the conditions of the present and the predicted future, in which the life of a modern person takes place. As an element of edutainment, animation is a universal educational tool maximally adapted to broadcasting game interactive teaching methods. Animation is very important to improve the effectiveness of visual learning. In addition, it is rather difficult to choose a type of visual art that overlaps the thesauri of students, their legal representatives, future teachers, and teachers as much as animation does. The presented accents in the established resonances of edutainment and pedagogical bioethics made it possible to determine the conditions for the development of educational visualization technologies. These conditions are: (1) visualization serves only for clarification, but not for evidence; (2) competing theories should be at the core of development; (3) the design result embodies the consensus of theoretical competition.

The qualitative and clear definition of the legal regime of the capital of Ukraine, the hero city of Kyiv, is influenced by its legislative enshrinement, however, it should be noted that discussions are ongoing and one of the reasons for the unclear legal status of the capital is the ambiguity of current legislation in this area. Separation of the functions of the city of Kyiv, which are carried out to ensure the rights of citizens of Ukraine and the functions that guarantee the rights of the territorial community of the city of Kyiv. In the modern world, in legal doctrine and practice, the capital is understood as the capital of the country, which at the legislative level received this status and, accordingly, is the administrative and political center of the state, which houses the main state bodies and diplomatic missions of other states. It is the identification of the boundaries of the relationship between the competencies of state administrations and local self-government, in practice, often raises questions about their delimitation and ways of regulatory solution. Peculiarities of local self-government in Kyiv city districts are defined in the provisions of the Law on the Capital, which reveal the norms of the Constitution in these legal relations, according to which the issue of organizing district management in cities belongs to city councils. Likewise, it is unregulated by law to lose the particularity of the legal status of the territory of the city. It should be emphasized that the subject of administrative-legal relations is not a certain administrative-territorial entity, but the social group is designated - the territorial community of the city of Kiev, kiyani. Thus, the provisions on the city of Kyiv partially ignore the potential of the territorial community.

The article reviews the social theory of Harry Redner with particular reference to his view of the relationship between high literacy (book culture) and civilization. The question is posed whether, alongside book culture, an axial-type metaphysical culture is also key to the definition of civilization.

This paper focuses on the semiotic foundations of sociolinguistics. Starting from the definition of “sociolinguistics” given by the philosopher Adam Schaff, the paper examines in particular the notion of “critical sociolinguistics” as theorized by the Italian semiotician Ferruccio Rossi-Landi. The basis of the social dimension of language are to be found in what Rossi-Landi calls “social reproduction” which regards both verbal and non-verbal signs. Saussure’s notion of langue can be considered in this way, with reference not only to his Course of General Linguistics, but also to his Harvard Manuscripts.The paper goes on trying also to understand Roland Barthes’s provocative definition of semiology as a part of linguistics (and not vice-versa) as well as developing the notion of communication-production in this perspective. Some articles of Roman Jakobson of the sixties allow us to reflect in a manner which we now call “socio-semiotic” on the processes of transformation of the “organic” signs into signs of a new type, which articulate the relationship between organic and instrumental. In this sense, socio-linguistics is intended as being sociosemiotics, without prejudice to the fact that the reference area must be human, since semiotics also has the prerogative of referring to the world of non-human vital signs.Socio-linguistics as socio-semiotics assumes the role of a “frontier” science, in the dual sense that it is not only on the border between science of language and the anthropological and social sciences, but also that it can be constructed in a movement of continual “crossing frontiers” and of “contamination” between languages and disciplinary environments.

The article deals with the problems of the influence of the livestock sector on the formation of sustainable development of rural areas. It is emphasized that currently global problems have formed in the world, namely: differentiation in living standards between developed countries and ‘third world’ countries, significant differentiation of income levels among most countries, environmental pollution, limited and reduced easily accessible natural resources, degradation of agricultural lands. Today, the principles of sustainable development are recognized as strategic directions for the development of the sector by the world’s leading countries. In the process of research, dialectical methods of cognition of processes and phenomena, monographic method (analysis of views on the concept of sustainable development), abstract-logical (theoretical generalizations and formulation of conclusions) were used. The article addresses the problems of the influence of the livestock sector on the formation of sustainable development of rural areas. A brief overview of approaches and principles for the interpretation of the concept of ‘sustainable development’ was conducted. It is noted that the current situation in rural areas is critical in terms of, first of all, social and environmental problems. The livestock sector should become one of the elements of their solution. It is noted that its development allows not only to diversify production, but also to improve the social situation and solve certain environmental problems. The authors give their own definition of rural development as a development that provides an increase in the level and quality of life of rural residents with the provision of their social needs and the ability to pass on the natural biodiversity of the respective areas to future generations. It is emphasized that this definition combines economic, social and environmental development.The key principles of the state policy in development of rural territories on the principles of susta­inable development with allocation of its constituent elements are formulated. Measures for sustainable development of rural areas through the support of the livestock sector as one of the components of agricultural production are proposed. It is noted that intensive production is possible today, provided that the optimal ratio of the structure of land use and the presence of the livestock sector in the structure of production is maintained.

There is a new trend taking place in Egypt over the last decades that is attempting to establish a new culture of development arguing for a knowledge-based development of Egyptian society. Consequently, Egyptian society has begun to witness the emergence of different policies, national strategies, and mega development projects that try to translate these policies into reality. But the question that remains is what type of knowledge, and in which context, should be developed? In this vein, this research serves two purposes. First, it contests the notion of knowledge while using a new method of inquiry that creates an opening for an alternative-more-humanized sociology that opposes the dominant sociological perspective that studies people as quantitative objects. The research uses institutional ethnography to provide new-actor-related insights and interpretations while exploring the social momentum within Egyptian society. Second, the research seeks to investigate the relationship between the desire to transform Egypt into a knowledge-based society through the knowledge precincts projects, following the global agenda, and the creation of a political, social, and cultural environment that allows knowledge to thrive, leading to more social justice and equity. In the end, the research asks: What is the definition of ‘knowledge' provided by the Egyptian government through its different developmental policies? How does it function inside the knowledge precincts projects? It also asks: Does Egypt's commitment to large scale programs through knowledge precincts reveal an authoritarian inclination?

Broadly speaking, social computing encapsulates the idea of making technologies more aware of, and more in alignment with, the social needs of their users. This allows for the introduction of new modes of communication and collaboration among users, the ability to establish and grow communities of various constitutions, as well as for more dynamic and large scale content creation, dissemination, and evaluation. This chapter serves the ternary purpose of establishing a broad definition of social computing as it stands today and as it is expected to evolve in the near future, providing an overview of the practical applications of social computing, and examining the present and historic research themes that have made an impression on social computing as an area of academic intrigue. The chapter is intended to be accessible to casual readers, practitioners, and academicians alike, with little technical depth and broad focus throughout, for the purpose of establishing an initial acquaintance with the field.

The authors consider the problem of communication as social reality in the context of conceptual representations of non-classical ontology. These views are based on the idea of variability in the interpretation of basic philosophical category of reality. Works of Chris Berry, Jean Baudrillard, Robin Dunbar, Paul Lazarsfeld, Harold Laswell, Andrew Zverintsev, Charles Cooley, Merab Mamardashvili, Alina Panfilova, Alan Pulford, Paul Smith, Arkady Ursuland and others are devoted to this problem.The article aims to clarify the ontological meaning of the concept «communicative reality». It can resolve conceptual representations of non-classical ontology that is based on the idea of variability of interpretation basic to the concept of space is a philosophical category of reality.Non-classical ontology interprets the concept of «reality» as a collection of objects and phenomena that have approximately the same being or exist in the same way. If being is the property of objects, and existence is their procedural characteristics, then reality is the very objects that possess this property and realize this action. Thus, the objects and phenomena of the material world exist in one way and form an objective reality. There is another way and form of artistic reality. Plans, projects, fantasies have a way of existence and form of mental reality. Therefore, there is an idea of coexistence of different realities. Thus, it is possible to consider not only one reality («actually existed»), but also different realities that constitute the «sector of existence». In this case, it is necessary to speak not about reality, but about reality in a particular sector of life (objective, subjective and virtual reality). That is, the communicative reality can be defined as the particular sector being associated with a subjective interpretation of the real world. Is it possible to define a specific combination of objects, existing solely in the communication processes according to the laws that differ from laws of objective and virtual reality?Therefore, social communication is the result of the interaction of objectively existing segments of the social structure, with defined interests and requests. Social communication is based on existing channels of social ties and actually existing social interests and preferences. It is established that the person prefers to obtain information from a limited number of sources, which he/ she considers asthe closest social environment. Information is perceived positively if it meets social needs of individuals. Information influence that does not consider requests and exceeds the threshold of perception is filtered out as information noise. The patterns of perception of information determine certain forms of informational influence.Thus, the communicative reality even when generating a virtual picture of the world relies on objectively existing social relations, patterns of perception of information and the channels of mass communication. To sum up, the authorsgive an ontological definition of communication space– a set of conditions of interaction of social facilities, with a focus on specific layers of links between the communication objects.

The system of tourist settlements on the Mediterranean coast presents a great complexity, as well as its geographical, landscape, morphological, urban and architectural conditions like for the varied way of relating to it the social and economic groups involved. The purpose of the communication is to expose the research about the need and the possibility of actions providing tourist settlements with urban and territorial cohesion, and enabling new proposals where what is decisive is not only acting on the parties but, globally, on the conditions that defines the scenes of action. In order to deal with the complexity of the tourist development on the Valencian Mediterranean coast, we proposed, as a first step, the identification of settlement types where, contrary to the buildings type, it will be necessary to apply mechanisms that take into account there are structures in the process of evolution. As Giorgio Grassi (1973) already said, a classification is not a type but allows an approximation to it. This has allowed the development of a “Typological Map of Tourist Settlements in the Comunidad Valenciana” where situate case studies while reading the territory as a whole and each settlement in relation to others settlements. A map to add data, based on the definition of parameters related to structure, urban form and architecture, but also to the relationship with the coastal physical environment, and selected for their capacity to provide data for the research purposes.

This article aims to deconstruct the concept of dignity in a way that is meaningful, in particular to nurses and other health workers who seek to promote the dignity of children in their care. Despite the emphasis in a variety of codes and policies to promote dignity, there is a lack of a clear definition of dignity in the literature. In particular there is little reference to dignity, theoretically or empirically, as it relates to children. Without clarity it is not possible to act in an ethical way on behalf of children whose dignity could otherwise be compromised. The theoretical position taken has evolved from the medico-nursing and philosophical discourse concerning the nature of human dignity and more recent sociological texts that discuss the social construction of the child and childhood. The article is further influenced by additional insights derived from an ethnographic pilot study at a large district general hospital. This study was undertaken in an attempt to appreciate the subjective experience of dignity by children, and to begin to address the empirical gap in the literature and promote discussion. The concept of a macro and a micro dignity is discussed, together with the role of the nurse in articulating the relationship between the two. The importance of control and witnesses in the experience of dignity is discussed and, finally, also the ethical implications when seeking to promote the dignity of children.
