По статистическим данным смертность в России вновь превысила рождаемость. В качестве причин такой ситуации чаще всего называют экономические факторы, но мировой опыт показывает, что проблема низкого уровня рождаемости не всегда обусловлена трудностями экономического содержания. Предполагается, что социально-демографическая ситуация может быть обусловлена психологическими факторами, которые будут проявлять себя в характере (особенностях) отношения к детям. Целью исследования выступает выявление структурных и содержательных составляющих отношения пользователей социальных сетей к детям. Объектом исследования являются пользователи социальной сети Twitter на территории России, а также сообщения (твиты) пользователей, в контексте которых присутствует слово «дети». В исследовании использована авторская (М.А. Китов) автоматизированная система анализа текстов и эмоционального фона сообщений. Основные выводы исследования сводятся к следующим позициям. Ребенок воспринимается пользователями социальной сети как высшая экзистенциональная ценность, на удовлетворение нужд которого должны быть направлены значительные ресурсы семьи и общества. Ведущими смыслами отношения к детям выступают духовные смыслы. На втором плане актуализируются материальные проблемы, которые воспринимаются пользователями сети как важные условия социализации ребенка и облегчения условий жизни семьи. При этом финансовая и социальная помощь государства, направленная на поддержание условий жизни ребенка в семье, воспринимается пользователями как недостаточная. Наиболее яркой среди проблем, обсуждаемых пользователями социальной сети Twitter, выступает проблема поведения ребенка, которая, как по количественным, так и по качественным характеристикам, превосходит все остальные обсуждаемые в сети ситуации. При этом основной фон оценок поведения ребенка носит негативный оттенок и связан с его поведением. Результаты исследования свидетельствуют о социальной и психологической значимости представленной проблемы, которая должна привлечь внимание психологов, социологов и социальных работников. According to statistics, the death rate in Russia has again exceeded the birth rate. Economic factors are often cited as the reasons for this situation, but world experience shows that the problem of low birth rates is not always caused by difficulties in economic maintenance. It is assumed that the socio-demographic situation may be due to psychological factors that will manifest themselves in the nature (features) of the relationship to children. The purpose of the study is to identify the structural and content components of the relationship of social network users to children. The object of the study is users of the social network Twitter in Russia, as well as messages (tweets) of users in the context of which the word "children" is present. The author's (M.A. Kitov) automated system for analyzing texts and the emotional background of messages was used in the study. The main conclusions of the study are summarized in the following positions. The child is perceived by users of the social network as the highest existential value, to meet the needs of which significant resources of the family and society should be directed. The leading meanings of the relationship to children are spiritual meanings. In the background, material problems are updated, which are perceived by users of the network as important conditions for the socialization of the child and the simplification of the family's living conditions. At the same time, financial and social assistance from the state aimed at maintaining the child's living conditions in the family is perceived by users as insufficient. The most striking problem discussed by users of the social network Twitter is the problem of child behavior, which, both in quantitative and qualitative characteristics, exceeds all other situations discussed in the network. At the same time, the main background of assessments of the child's behavior is negative and is associated with his behavior. The results of the study indicate the social and psychological significance of the presented problem, which should attract the attention of psychologists, sociologists and social workers.

The appearance of article 210.1 in the criminal law caused an active discussion in the scientific community and many critical comments. Supporting the idea of the legislator about the need to strengthen the fight against organized crime by criminal legal means, the author notes the failure of the wording used in this norm, the complexity of its practical application, and the violation of the fundamental principles of legality, justice, and guilt. These criticisms are analyzed using the criminal legal approach, which allows projecting the provisions of the criminal law on the criminological plane. Thus, the highest position in the criminal hierarchy, being a special feature of crime, characterizes its social status within the framework of criminal interactions. In addition, the status and role characteristics of the subject have the value of the criminals personal characteristics. Given the criminological doctrine of the criminal, the author formulates the concept of the individual special subject of the crime as a specific sociocriminological personality type characterized, as a rule, a high degree of public danger, which is based on the relationship between the social status and role of the offender with criminal threats, a wide range of victimization, criminal commitment, legal nihilism, and capabilities and skills to counteract the preliminary investigation. In support of this definition, the author analyzes the features of the sociodemographic and value-normative subsystems of the personality of a special subject of crime and argues for the relationship with the personality of the criminal as a private with a general one. Justifying the typologization of the personality of a special subject of crime into socialized and non-socialized types, the author refers to the second person who occupies the highest position in the criminal hierarchy.

Intermarriages represent a form of social connections that occur for common reasons. However, they may also occur for special reasons such as strengthening the relationship of certain families, achieving a tribal alliance, raising the social status of a family, or gaining economic benefits.This study addresses the theme of Umayyad intermarriages and tries to figure out its general nature and whether it had clear political or administrative impacts and how the sources were interested in clarifying these impacts.

Children, brought up in foster families, experience various problems (diffi culties in interpersonal relationships with parents, diffi culties in communicating with peers, emotional instability), which lead to confl icts, quarrels, running away from home, destructive phenomena, etc. One of the eff ective forms of working with children brought up in foster families is individual counselling. Individual counselling is used by various specialists (psychologists, educators, psychotherapists), where a special place is taken by a social educator. His or her activity involves the implementation of social-protective, preventive, educational, informational, advisory functions. In the process of organizing individual counseling, the social educator takes into account the social situation of the family and the child, personal characteristics, social conditions, social and cultural characteristics and the nature of the relationship with the social environment. To organize individual counseling, a social educator needs to master various and eff ective techniques, and take into account a number of recommendations. An analysis of the literature and practical socio-pedagogical experience led to an understanding of the insuffi cient degree of elaboration of this issue. The purpose of this article was the solution to this problem.

The social policy of a country is a set of specific activities aimed at regulating the social relations between different in their social status subjects. This approach to clarifying social policy is also called functional and essentially addresses social policy as an activity to regulate the relationship of equality or inequality in society. It provides an opportunity to look for inequalities in the economic positions of individuals in relation to ownership, labor and working conditions, distribution of income and consumption, social security and health, to look for the sources of these inequalities and their social justification or undue application.The modern state takes on social functions that seek to regulate imbalances, to protect weak social positions and prevent the disintegration of the social system. It regulates the processes in society by harmonizing interests and opposing marginalization. Every modern country develops social activities that reflect the specifics of a particular society, correspond to its economic, political and cultural status. They are the result of political decisions aimed at directing and regulating the process of adaptation of the national society to the transformations of the market environment. Social policy is at the heart of the development and governance of each country. Despite the fact that too many factors and problems affect it, it largely determines the physical and mental state of the population as well as the relationships and interrelationships between people. On the other hand, social policy allows for a more global study and solving of vital social problems of civil society. On the basis of the programs and actions of political parties and state bodies, the guidelines for the development of society are outlined. Social policy should be seen as an activity to regulate the relationship of equality or inequality between different individuals and social groups in society. Its importance is determined by the possibility of establishing on the basis of the complex approach: the economic positions of the different social groups and individuals, by determining the differences between them in terms of income, consumption, working conditions, health, etc .; to explain the causes of inequality; to look for concrete and specific measures to overcome the emerging social disparities.

Takis Zenetos was enthusiastic about the idea of working from home, and believed that both architecture and urban planning should be reshaped in order to respond to this. He supported the design of special public spaces in residential units, aiming to accommodate the inhabitants during working hours. This article argues that Zenetos’s design for “Electronic Urbanism” was more prophetic, and more pragmatic, than his peers such as Archigram and Constant Nieuwenhuys. Despite the fact that they shared an optimism towards technological developments and megastructure, a main difference between Zenetos’s view and the perspectives of his peers is his rejection of a generalised enthusiasm concerning increasing mobility of people. In opposition with Archigram, Zenetos insisted in minimizing citizens’ mobility and supported the replacement of daily transport with the use advanced information technologies, using terms such as “tele-activity”. Zenetos was convinced that “Electronic Urbanism” would help citizens save the time that they normally used to commute to work, and would allow them to spend this time on more creative activities, at or near their homes. The main interest of “Electronic Urbanism” lies in the fact that it not only constitutes an artistic contribution to experimental architecture, but is also characterized by a new social vision, promising to resynchronize practices of daily life. An aspect that is also examined is the relationship of Zenetos’s ideas and those of the so-called Metabolists in the 1960s in Japan, including Kenzo Tange’s conception of megastructures. Zenetos’s thought is very topical considering the ongoing debates about the advanced information society, especially regarding the social concerns of surveillance, governance, and sovereignty within the context of Big Data. His conception of “tele-activities” provides a fertile terrain for reflecting on potential implications and insights concerning home-office conditions not only within the context of the current pandemic situation but beyond it as well.
