The article is devoted to the analysis of the prisons totems and taboos phenomenon. It is shown that the modern penitentiary subculture, as a negative socioregulatory system is characterized by the presence of a complex system of taboos and totems. Researchers of the penitentiary subculture have repeatedly noted the similarities between the primitive and prison communities. This phenomenon is largely due to the fact that under conditions of imprisonment, a person’s outlook narrows, intelligence decreases, and their value orientation changes. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that, despite the presence of a complex system of prison taboos and totems among convicts, as the main manifestations of the penitentiary subculture, a very small number of scientific works are devoted to the genesis and understanding of this phenomenon. The aim of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of prison taboos and totems in the penitentiary subculture. The work shows that for the formation and preservation of a developed system of totems and taboos in the prison environment, a certain critical weight of such indicators as the size of the prison population and the severity of conditions of detention of prisoners is required. An important role in this is also played by such phenomena inherent in being in the penitentiary space, such as chronic stress, a sense of fear and uncertainty. The article reveals the general principles of the formation of prison totems and taboos. At the same time, it is shown that the leading mechanisms for the formation of prison taboos are the techniques of sympathetic and imitation magic. The author’s proposed classification of prison totems and taboos are presented. It is noted that the convict’s adherence to a certain image-totem contributes to his self-identification, determination of his place in the prison social hierarchy, and the formation of a criminal model of behavior. Practical examples of prison taboos and totems are given. It is shown that prison taboos are largely associated with the existence in the social hierarchy of the prison population of castes of «untouchables». The attention of readers is focused on the harshness towards those who violated prison taboos, which can manifest itself in physical punishment, transfer to the lower prison castes, in some cases — the death sentence. The practical significance of the work is the understanding the phenomenon of prison taboos and totems, that can affect the development of measures aimed at combating the manifestations of the penitentiary subculture in places of detention.

International accounting standards systems are able to define borders by producing reference codes for institutional, informational and cultural codes. Such ways of influence are similar to globalization in other societal spaces: for example internalization of trade systems has been produced by creating institutes and organizations as well as miscellaneous standards. These tendencies have been highlighted by Niklas Luhmann through differentiation of borders determinants of a system. And this operational determination of globalization as continual creation of the world system is to be highly appreciated for comprehensive analysis of the last developments in accounting and reporting field influenced by environmental issues. In this paper three-tier classification of globalization in terms of system definition proposed as development of Niklas Luhmann ideas. Through analysis of the mean shifts in reporting as social memory phenomenon and communication process accounting problems reformulated as world system`s issues and demonstrated existence of globalization as operational phenomenon for accountancy and social responsibility systems. Concepts of the social systems theory have been visualized and interpreted to determine possible ways of equilibrium states for human systems and environment. As a result main ways for integrated reporting application and its future development formulated.

<p>The popularity of the social media channels has increased the interest among researchers in the sentiment analysis(SA) area. One aspect of the SA research is the determination of the polarity of the comments in the social media, i.e. positive, negative, and neutral. However, there is a scarcity of Malay sentiment analysis tools because most of the work in the literature discuss the polarity classification tool in English. This paper presents the development of a polarity classification tool called Malay Polarity Classification Tool(MaCT). This tool is developed based on the AFINN sentiment lexicon for English language. We have attempted to translate each word in AFINN to its Malay equivalent and later, use the lexicon to collect the sentiment data from Twitter. The Twitter data are then classified into positive, negative, and neutral. For the validation purpose, we collect 400 positive tweets, 400 negative tweets, and 200 neutral tweets, and later, run the tweets through our sentiment lexicon and found 90% score for precision, recall and accuracy. Our main contribution in the research is the new AFINN translation for Malay language and also the classification of the sentiment data.</p>

The subject of this research is the social relations in the context of bringing to legal responsibility, as well as normative legal acts and scientific literature that reflect such relations. The problem of classification of the types of legal responsibility is relevant in the context of substantiation of the autonomy of its individual types. The attempts to substantiate the autonomy of one or another type of legal responsibility entail the revision of the grounds for classification. The goal of this article consists in revealing the natural grounds for definition of the concept of &ldquo;legal responsibility&rdquo; to build consistent and exhaustive classification. The main conclusion lies in determination of the criterion for classification of the types of legal responsibility. Emphasis is placed on the social relations underlying the legal relations, namely legal relations in the area of bringing to legal responsibility. On the example of responsibility for committing tax fraud, the article demonstrates the failure of attempts to find qualification criteria on the basis of the normative legal acts outside the entirety of social relations. The article determines the close link between social relations in the economic sphere, as well as their impact upon legal relations emerging in the context of bringing to legal responsibility as a whole and administrative responsibility in particular.

Abstract This study aims to obtain a mapping of seismic hazard vulnerability of Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) using the Fuzzy Simple Additive Weighting (FSAW) method. This mapping is serves as an act of mitigation for earthquake disasters to reduce the risk of earthquake disasters and minimize fatalities or losses in earthquake-prone areas. The factors used construct the mapping of earthquake-prone areas in Yogyakarta are social, physical, and economic vulnerabilities. Each factor has several variables. The data of this research were taken from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta from 2014 to 2017. The FSAW method was used to determine the level of seismic hazard for each sub-district in DIY with a high, medium, or low vulnerability category. The steps taken in the FSAW method are (1) performing fuzzification for each variable, (2) normalizing, (3) determining the weigh of each variable, (4) determining the classification of the result; whether it is categorized under high, medium, or low level. The result from this study is a map that shows areas in each district of Special Region of Yogyakarta with high, medium, and low seismic vulnerability. Based on the social, economic and physical vulnerability factors, it was found that every sub-district in Yogyakarta City were categorized under the high-level vulnerability, while the sub-districts in Bantul, Gunungkidul, Kulonprogo and Sleman Regencies had the average level of medium.

The Relationship

Folktales have been regarded as the simplest form of narrative and tales from various cultures have been analyzed in terms of their structure. The structural analysis of ta[1]les can be claimed to begin with Propp’s (1958/1968) Morphology of the Folktale. Following Propp’s ground-breaking morphological classification of Russian tales, studies of structural typology of folktales from different cultures have given rise to story-grammars and led to the heyday of narratology. However, with the growing interest in narrative as a social and psychological phenomenon, structural analyses of stories have come under attack. It is contended that although the explorations of story structures have resulted in interesting descriptions of different models, what is lacking is an explanation of how formal patterns are related to the story’s content. Therefore, more recent works in narratological research have called for a narrative analysis to go beyond structures. This article revisits a structure analysis of folktales. Using a Myanmar (Burmese) folktale as a tutor text, it advocates an investigation of the relationship between form, function and field of a tale, and suggests a structural analysis as a means to gain insights into the cultural determination of the narrative motif and the social purpose of storytelling.
