The article deals with new principles and organizational forms of social work in the context of digital society development. The author attributes the necessity to implement changes in the sphere to a higher level of individualism in the modern society and young people’s urge to self-fulfillment and self-realization. The paper reviews most common existing forms of students’ public organizations: parliaments, councils, unions and clubs. The author highlights that nowadays they tend to perform the advisory function in education institutions, or their activity is limited to actually being social clubs for interest groups. Frequently, they are not designed to handle strategic tasks education institutions and students communities are facing. Following the guidelines the new Ukrainian Law on Higher Education puts forward, the author addresses the experience of Kharkiv University of Humanities “People’s Ukrainian Academy” in organizing pupils’ and students’ self-governance, and the practice of its public organizations. The author attempts to analyze how effective the current system is, whether its organizational principles and forms are up-to-date, to what extent they meet students’ needs and expectations. The author shares PUA’s experience in the work on training and educating youth leaders, explicates how naturally they make up constituent part of the university education and pedagogical system, how successfully they cooperate with other teachers’ and pupils’ public organizations of the complex of continuous education. A very special attention the article pays to the PUA pupils’ organization “ISTOK” and its activities. According to the author, the secret of public organizations’ successful performance lies in team work and cooperation, collective problem-solving, integration of experience and up-to-date approaches to social work.

The article reveals the essence of social partnership and its role in the sphere of social and labor relations. The purpose and key elements of social partnership are identified. The peculiarities of the tripartite model of partnership, which operates in Ukraine, are analyzed. The psychological, pedagogical and socio-cultural conditions of relations between social partners, as well the basic principles to which the parties should adhere were noted. Key elements of social partnership include: an existing social problem that needs to be addressed as quickly possible; interests and values of partners; legal validity of the partnership; opportunities and strengths of partners; rules of interaction and mutual control. The essence of social partnership in the field of social work is covered. Social technologies that are used for establishing optimal cooperation between social partners are considered: mediation, extreme support, variations and cross-offers. The most popular of which in the field of social work is social mediation, which serves to establish relationships between the client and the organization. Theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for future social workers to build partnerships with clients as objects of social work, as well with representatives of state institutions and public organizations as subjects of social work. The necessity of teaching the discipline «Social Partnership» for future social workers is justified. Therefore, teaching the discipline «Social Partnership» for future social workers is especially important and necessary, because modern society requires from the higher education system a fully developed competitive professional, whose knowledge, skills and abilities will successfully serve the further social development of society. The success of such development is impossible without a highly qualified social worker, whose professionalism and dedication will improve the quality of social services and improve the welfare of the Ukrainian population as a whole. To strengthen the system of social partnership in Ukraine, it is necessary to observe some important aspects: the possibility of unimpeded receipt of social protection, social guarantee or social service; strengthening the socio-regulatory framework in order to bring it into line with international law; motivation of employers to participate in social dialogue; raising public awareness of social partnership.

This chapter discusses the core theoretical concepts that relate to family group conferences (FGCs). Social work theory has long shaped the practice of the profession, but it is only in recent years that social workers are being asked to evidence the theoretical basis to their interventions, in assessment and court reports. As such, it is crucial that social workers understand the theoretical basis to their work and for them to be recognised as skilled and research-informed practitioners in their own right, given the evidence-based practice landscape of social care. For policy makers, having an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the FGC model and the relationship between FGCs and what is considered to be good social work practice is significant. The theoretical framework ensures that the model is given credibility and offers the potential for it to become a viable alternative to existing processes.

<p>Learning communities are becoming increasingly common as a means of assisting incoming students with their transition to college. They have been shown to improve student retention, academic performance, and student-faculty relationships. Learning communities are prime examples of groupwork in action, and can provide opportunities for educators to teach and model social groupwork concepts and principles. This paper 1) defines and describes learning communities, 2) discusses the theoretical basis for the application of groupwork principles to the learning community experience, and 3) describes and assesses three years of experience with the application of groupwork principles in social work learning communities in an undergraduate university in the Midwestern United States.</p>

“Pandemic social work” is a new concept put forward by academia in response to the epidemic, and it also points to a new field in which social work is emerging. Although most scholars mainly study its specific role in the current anti-epidemic, they do not define the meaning and field of this concept clearly, revealing the functional positioning of social work in the anti-epidemic in general, not only for the current global anti-epidemic Work has an adverse effect, and it is not without harm to the construction of this new field. Defining the concept and field of “Epidemic Social Work” needs to start from the nature of social work and learn from the successful experience of social work in other disaster areas. It is preliminarily delineated that epidemic social work is a branch of disaster social work. At the same time, in addition to conceptual clarification and field division, it also attempts to explore the theoretical basis and intervention mode of “Epidemic Social Work,” which is a new field of social work. The construction and current epidemic guidance are of great significance, and its value is obvious.

The article refers to the need to change the existing view of the development in adolescence. We provide the data of observations of the behavior of teenagers in theonlinegame "DragonNest" conductedin 2013 by experts of the Center of social and psychological adaptation and development of adolescents "Crossroads" of MSUPE, which led to the assumption about the problems arising in adolescence. As a theoretical basis for the construction of this work was selected restorative approach, which is a practical application of the cultural-historical theory and of activity theory to social and psychological assistance to adolescents. The analysis of the activity of the teenager in the game, the structure of communication, observation on the adolescents in online gaming space allowed us to make assumptions about the role of communication with peers in a modern society in terms of identity formation and development of adolescents.

Various methods of video-enhanced microscopy combine TV cameras with light microscopes creating images with improved resolution, contrast and visibility of fine detail, which can be recorded rapidly and relatively inexpensively. The AVEC (Allen Video-enhanced Contrast) method avoids polarizing rectifiers, since the microscope is operated at retardations of λ/9- λ/4, where no anomaly is seen in the Airy diffraction pattern. The iris diaphram is opened fully to match the numerical aperture of the condenser to that of the objective. Under these conditions, no image can be realized either by eye or photographically. Yet the image becomes visible using the Hamamatsu C-1000-01 binary camera, if the camera control unit is equipped with variable gain control and an offset knob (which sets a clamp voltage of a D.C. restoration circuit). The theoretical basis for these improvements has been described.
