В статье рассматривается взаимодействие информационных структур цифрового общества и человека сквозь призму их характеристик как субъекта и объекта. На фоне противостояния двух основных тенденций развития современной мировой цивилизации - гуманизма и технократизма - анализируются возможности, механизмы, направления и противоречивые последствия субъектно-объектной динамики в отношениях «информационное пространство - информационный человек». Обосновывается положение о доминировании человека-субъекта как творца общества знания, вывод о необходимости разработки и сути соответствующего типа культуры в качестве главного фактора, обеспечивающего данный статус личности. The article deals with the interaction of information structures of digital society and man through the prism of their characteristics as a subject and object. Against the background of the opposition of two main trends in the development of modern world civilization - humanism and technocratism - the author analyzes the possibilities, mechanisms, directions and contradictory con-sequences of subject-object dynamics in the relationship «information space - information man». The article substantiates the position of the dominance of the human subject as the Creator of the knowledge society, the conclusion about the need to develop and essence of the corresponding type of culture as the main factor ensuring this status of the individual.

Universities have a crucial role in the modern world. In England, entrance to universities is by nation-wide competition which means English universities have an exceptional influence on schools--a striking theme of the book. This important book first investigates the university as an institution and then tracks the individual on their journey to and through university. In A University Education, David Willetts presents a compelling case for the ongoing importance of the university, both as one of the great institutions of modern society and as a transformational experience for the individual. The book also makes illuminating comparisons with higher education in other countries, especially the US and Germany. Drawing on his experience as UK Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014, the author offers a powerful account of the value of higher education and the case for more expansion. He covers controversial issues in which he was involved from access for disadvantaged students to the introduction of L9,000 fees. The final section addresses some of the big questions for the future, such as the the relationship between universities and business, especially in promoting innovation.. He argues that the two great contemporary trends of globalisation and technological innovation will both change the university significantly. This is an authoritative account of English universities setting them for the first time in their new legal and regulatory framework.

The Relationship

In this paper, the idea of human existence is related to current issues of identities within a complex, technologically globalized modern world. Kierkegaard?s discourse seems very useful in this regard, because of its vivid narrative about obstacles arrising from the superficial offerings of freedom and knowledge that essentially supress the individual?s inner development. By conceptualizing existence and reason as polarities of human experience, it is not possible to implement the existential immediacy of the relationship between knowable structure of Being and the living issues of human beings. That is why, I sugest, their relating, which emerges from the qualitative nature of the state of presence - simultaneously belonging to individual?s interiority and to the external world - is of great importance.

The article contains theoretical and empirical data on the study of metaresource opportunities of the mechanisms of a person’s life successfulness and their relationship with positive attitudes towards life and the achievement of life goals. The relevance of the scientific problem is to find new approaches to the understanding and study of the success of the individual in the modern world. The novelty of the study in testing the concept of life successfulness of a person as a meta-resource in a selfregulation system that performs the function of a reflective comparison of social and individual value bases in order to build its own concept of a successful life and acts as a system of interconnected mechanisms, personality traits and conditions. The methodological foundations in understanding life successfulness are the principles of regulatory, subjective and resource approaches. The purpose of the study: to study the degree of formation of mechanisms of life successfulness, as well as to identify their relationship with a positive motivational attitude and disposition of personality hardiness in a sample of respondents at the beginning of the professionalization process. The correlation analysis allowed to judge whether the relationship mechanisms life successfulness existence of interconnections of positive motivational attitude and personality hardiness. This suggests that respondents with more pronounced reflective mechanisms of life successfulness have a positive motivational attitude towards life, are involved in the situation and are able to manage it, open to receiving life experience, and self-confident. The revealed relationship between the variables indicates the presence of a complex regulatory mechanism of the personality, which allows developing and realizing the meta-resource opportunities of the mechanisms of life successfulness.

In the paper, we show the specificity of identity in the situation of transitivity, reveal the connection between different aspects of the transitive and information space, and distinguish between two the types of transitivity — rigid and fluid, that are associated with different ways of working with information — on-line and off-line. Theoretical and empirical data is analyzed to prove the changes in cognitive development and an increase in the operational side of informational socialization, which affects the transformation of personal identity and the relationship between generations. The materials of theoretical and empirical studies revealing the importance of the information style of identity for socialization in the modern world are presented. The empirical study of young people (N=140, age 18—21) yields the connection of rigid and fluid transitivity and on-line and off-line communication with styles of information identity and emotional well-being. The influence of transitivity on the on-line and off-line options of working with information is revealed, the key factor in determining psychological well-being in both hard and soft transitivity situations proves to be the style of information identity. The problems of modern digital informational socialization and the prospects for its further research are determined.

In this paper, we explore what architectural practice and, more specifically, the architectural research domain, may gain from the theoretical and methodological premise of anthropology and ethnography. The paper explores a historical link between anthropology and architecture as academic disciplines, arguing that the disciplines are aligned through anthropology’s search for understanding the conditions of humanity and architecture’s role in forming these very conditions. We do not intend to explicate the individual disciplines but are interested in the crossover between the two and, more specifically, what insights anthropology and ethnography may offer to the discipline of architecture. We consider the relationship between anthropology and architecture, as both a research domain and a profession, and question how anthropology—as an approach to research more so than a discipline—can contribute to the advancement of architectural practice and research.

AbstractThe agonistic behaviour of juvenile Blennius pholis, L. was observed in tanks of 28 x 43 x 30 cm and 75 x 40 x 30 cm, the larger tanks thus having a floor area 2.5 times that of the smaller tanks. The smaller tanks contained two fish, the larger ones either two or five fish. Those containing five fish thus had a population density equivalent to the smaller tanks. Eight main elements of agonistic behaviour were observed. They were; advancing, threatening, charging, snapping, fleeing, chasing, retreating and submitting. It was found that charging, fleeing, and chasing were by far the most common elements performed. Charging, threatening and chasing were performed most frequently by dominant fish, fleeing and retreating by subordinate fish. Advancing was performed more or less equally by both dominant and subordinate fish. It is suggested that submission is a displacement activity. Size difference was the main factor deciding dominance and the intensity of aggression, but the onset of light, food, available space, and the activity of the fish concerned were also of importance. The size of the tank and the number of fish it contained had an effect upon the relationship between size difference and the intensity of aggression. In the smaller tanks the intensity of aggression was directly related to the difference in size between the two fish. This relationship was not as clear in the larger tanks. Territoriality in the normally accepted sense of the word was not observed, because the fish were not seen to defend any particular area of the tank against others. A hypothesis suggesting the existence of 'individual distances' is put forward, in which the fish are considered to defend a particular area of space around themselves. These individual distances fluctuate in size according to the state of the aggressive drive of the individual and the amount of space available to it for movement. An attempt is made to relate the behaviour observed in the laboratory to that occurring in nature.

Kompetencijos reiðkia kompleksinæ veiksmø sistemà, kuri apima þinias ir þinojimo gebëjimus, strategijas ir þinomus ðablonus, kuriems reikia pritaikyti þinias ir ágûdþius, taip pat atitinkamai emocijas ir nuostatas, efektyvø ðiø kompetencijø valdymà. Modernus socialinis gyvenimas remiasi nebe tradicijomis, o nuolat kuriamu ir atnaujinamu refleksyviu þinojimu; visi socialiniai veiksmai yra nuolat analizuojami ir prireikus modifikuojami pagal gaunamà informacijà ir þinias. Tad kurios þinios reikalingos organizacijai, o kurios tiesiog þalingos ar nepastebimos? Kompetencijà sudaro iððûkis, uþduotis ar veikla.

Towards knowledge society: demand of employee’s key competences in an organizationSaulė Gudauskaitė SummaryCompetence means a complex action system which takes in knowledge, knowledge abilities, strategies, as well as emotions and attitudes in an effective governance of the competences (Weinart, 2001). Modern social life appeals not by traditions, but by changeable, creatable and renewed reflective knowledge. All social actions are analyzed all the time and modified by information and knowledge we get. There’s a question, which knowledge is necessary in an organization and which is even harmful. Competence is the ability to meet a complex demand successfully or to carry out a complex activity or task (DeSeCo Symposium – Discussion Paper, 2002). The problem is defining and selecting the key competences which draw into power relations, political decisions, national cultures or practical considerations. The relationship between the individual and society is dialectic and dynamic, as is also the content of competence, which creates the most important value. The main questions in the article, which is part of the doctoral thesis, are: what could I define as a competence, key competence for an individual, and how do employees evaluate their competences in aspects of technology, diversity, responsibility, community relations and motivation?

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.
