The article presents material that briefly highlights the historical, socio-political, technological prerequisites for the emergence and development of modern architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Its features, basic characteristics and originality are considered, taking into account the development of Odessa.The presence in the urban environment of Odessa of large-scale monuments of architecture of the late 19th, early 20th centuries is obvious.They play a large role in the formation of urban identity.Tourists visiting the city pay tribute to the wealth of impressions that the natural environment of the city gives, its historical architectural environment, an integral part of which is Odessa Art Nouveau.The current state of buildings of this period of construction requires special attention not only of specialists in the field of construction, architecture, protection of monuments, but also the need to attract the public to preserve the architectural heritage of this period.It is important for modern man to feel that the city has a history, a continuity.Of particular value and status as guardians of memory are preserved cultural heritage sites.As foreign experience shows, sometimes the most hopeless, from the point of view of restoration, objects can be revived using a variety of approaches.In many European cities there are examples of excellent solutions in the field of renovation of historical buildings and districts. The conservation of historic buildingsshould be a priority in our urban planning policy.An integrated approach to the popularization of architectural heritage is required, including a wide range of forms of interaction with the scientific and civil society. It is necessary to enlist the support of the public in taking measures to protect heritage objects, to awaken the activity of citizens and the professional public in collecting and transmitting information, support initiatives to register new objects.International cooperation in heritage conservation should be seen as a particularly important strategic resource.It is necessary to exchange scientific and technical information with international organizations active in the field of monument conservation, exchange of experience in the legislative sphere, in the theory and practice of conservation and restoration, development of youth programs in the field of heritage conservation and popularization.We are involved in pan-European identity in culture, first of all. The most clearly preserved evidence of this is the preserved architectural monuments. The architectural heritage of Art Nouveau, bright, original and interesting in its diversity, loudly testifies that we are involved in all historical events taking place on the European continent.The most vividly evidence of this is the preserved architectural monuments.

The concept of “Global Citizenship” is enjoying increased currency in the public and academic domains. Conventionally associated with cosmopolitan political theory, it has moved into the public domain, marshaled by elite actors, international institutions, policy makers, nongovernmental organizations, and ordinary people. At the same time, scholarship on Global Citizenship has increased in volume in several domains (International Law, Political Theory, Citizenship Studies, Education, and Global Business), with the most substantial growth areas in Education and Political Science, specifically in International Relations and Political Theory. The public use of the concept is significant in light of what many scholars regard as a breakdown and reconfiguration of national citizenship in both theory and practice. The rise in its use is indicative of a more general change in the discourse on citizenship. It has become commonplace to offer globalization as a cause for these changes, citing increases in regular and irregular migration, economic and political dispossession owing to insertion in the global economy, the ceding of sovereignty to global governance, the pressure on policy caused by financial flows, and cross-border information-sharing and political mobilization made possible by information communications technologies (ICTs), insecurities caused by environmental degradation, political fragmentation, and inequality as key drivers of change. Global Citizenship is thus one among a string of adjectives attempting to characterize and conceptualize a transformative connection between globalization, political subjectivity, and affiliation. It is endorsed by elite global actors and the subject of an educational reform movement. Some scholarship observes empirical evidence of Global Citizenship, understood as active, socially and globally responsible political participation which contributes to global democracy, within global institutions, elites, and the marginalized themselves. Arguments for or against a cosmopolitan sensibility in political theory have been superseded by both the technological capability to make global personal legal recognition a possibility, and by the widespread endorsement of Global Citizenship among the Global Education Policy regime. In educational scholarship Global Citizenship is regarded as a form of contemporary political being that needs to be socially engineered to facilitate the spread of global democracy or the emergence of new political arrangements. Its increasing currency among a diverse range of actors has prompted a variety of attempts either to codify or to study the variety of usages in situ. As such the use of Global Citizenship speaks to a central methodological problem in the social sciences: how to fix key conceptual variables when the same concepts are a key aspect of the behavior of the actors being studied? As a concept, Global Citizenship is also intimately associated with other concepts and theoretical traditions, and is among the variety of terms used in recent years to try to reconceptualize changes it the international system. Theoretically it has complex connections to cosmopolitanism, liberalism, and republicanism; empirically it is the object of descriptive and normative scholarship. In the latter domain, two central cleavages repeat: the first is between those who see Global Citizenship as the redress for global injustices and the extension of global democracy, and those who see it as irredeemably capitalist and imperial; the second is between those who see evidence for Global Citizenship in the actions and behavior of a wide range of actors, and those who seek to socially engineer Global Citizenship through educational reform.

The study objective is to determine the potential of the city scientific libraries to support institutions of the scientific and educational complex with information. Using a wide range of statistical data, the authors describe the resource base development of scientific libraries in Novosibirsk including libraries of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and higher educational institutions. They show the influence of the scientific and educational space transformation on certain areas of scientific libraries activity. The article updates existing ideas on the component structure of the educational space interdependent subjects. Taking into account factors of a social nature affecting the structure of the scientific and educational environment of Novosibirsk, the authors characterize the scientific libraries potential, their documentary resources, and substantiate that accelerating the leading universities and scientific institutions integration motivates scientific libraries of different statuses to develop new models of their corporate interaction. Under the city scientific libraries disproportionately provision with information resources, it is advisable to form an adequate model for all participants interaction in the scientific and educational process, and create a system of informing about the resource capabilities of the entire conglomeration of city scientific libraries based on navigation tool application. Converging the resource base of the city scientific libraries should have a compensatory value for information support of scientific and educational activities.

This article explores the work of the artist Lorna Selim in the context of a period of modernization and urbanization in Baghdad, the city she moved to in 1950 with her husband, fellow artist Jewad Selim. Following the neglect and destruction of thousands of traditional houses in Baghdad, the landscape of the city was changing rapidly over time. Modernist architects and planners fuelled these changes, with little consideration for issues of conservation. I aim to show the impact of a variety of policies, historical events and new architectural trends on the Iraqi environment, and show how Lorna captured a snapshot of Iraqi cultural and architectural history which has since been lost.

The Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (Montreal International Jazz Festival), which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 1999, has become one of the most popular music festivals in the world, attracting in just twelve days more than a million and a half people. Most visitors are Canadians and Americans, but Europeans are attending in greater numbers each year.The first Festival, held in the summer of 1979, lasted less than a week. Since then, it has progressively expanded and has moved from one site to another several times to accommodate the growing number of visitors. At its current site in downtown Montreal, in the neighbourhood of the Place des Arts, it now lasts a full twelve days. In 1998, thirty-six concert series and two film series were offered for a total of 411 events. Of these, 103 were paying concerts, and 298 were free concerts held for the most part out of doors. Jazz presented in more than twelve bars all over the city also forms part of the event.From noon to 6 pm, a free outdoor concert is held every hour. From 6 pm to midnight, two more free concerts are performed simultaneously. During the day, street bands give strollers a taste of a wide range of musical styles. For more than twelve hours the public can hear music nonstop by moving from one venue to the other. The downtown site is big enough to avoid the overlapping of music from simultaneous performances. At the end of the afternoon and in the evening, Festival-goers can enjoy the indoor paying concerts.

The information eco-environment of the city, aimed at attracting investment, is designed to solve the problems of forming investment attractiveness, protection from unscrupulous investors, obtaining reliable information when justifying the implementation of investment projects, participation in them. Considering the dynamism of modern investment processes, the creation of an effective information eco-environment is an important component of the development of the investment process, especially from the point of view of ensuring effective interaction of its participants and attracting a wide range of investors to the investment activity process. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the impact of the information eco-environment on the processes of investment in the urban environment and increase the investment attractiveness of the city. However, the features of information support of the investment market specifically at the municipal level remain insufficiently studied. Based on the analysis of literary sources and an expert survey, this article examines the forms of information disclosure that are most effective from the point of view of investors; factors of investment attractiveness that should be paid attention to when forming an information eco-environment. Finally, this article suggests the identification of key areas of development of the urban information eco-environment, which can be transformed into the investment attractiveness of the city. The results showed that the systematic use of the information eco-environment of the city should create conditions for users to receive the necessary information promptly, which contributes to the activation of investment activity, increasing its efficiency.

Reflecting the strong heritage of crystallographic research in Australia, we wish to present two of the public outreach projects that are underway down-under to celebrate International year of crystallography 2014. A project that is already up and running is Crystallography365 - Blogging a crystal structure a day at http://crystallography365.wordpress.com/. Gathering a group of, principally students and early career researchers based in Australia, each day during 2014 a different crystal structure will be presented and described. The goals of the project is to present the wide range of uses crystal structures have to a broad spectrum of sciences, and to provide an outlet for this group of scientists to engage with International Year of Crystallography. The other (hopefully bigger) project is Crystals in the city will run 9th-30 August 2014 (coinciding with National Science Week in Australia). A partnership between ANSTO and University of New South Wales, it will bring a public display of 10-15 person-size crystal structure models exhibited in cities around Australia. The goal is that the crystal structures will `reflect' their surroundings and instil pride among the public in the crystallographic achievements of Australian science. Accompanying the exhibition will be website, where the public can find more about each of the structures and students can learn of studying opportunities. The project will also unite a host of supporters and sponsors; universities, museums and crystallographic groups.

Research Analysis

Contribution of civil engineer Charles Carr to the development of Liepāja's Art Nouveau architecture is analysed in the article. Art Nouveau in Liepāja is one of the greatest values of architectural heritage of the city. Buildings of this style determine the cityscape in many places, but data on Liepāja's Art Nouveau architects until recent past were extremely sparse. Ch. Carr was known only as the author of the design of the building at Graudu iela 45. Two more his designs, including the one for the building at Graudu iela 44, were found during research. Analysis of planning principles, methods of artistic composition and architectural detailing of these works allowed identifying several other notable Liepāja Art Nouveau buildings as possible creations of Ch. Carr and to determine the place of this personality in the history of Latvian culture.

This article considers the relationship between the official, legislated claims of heritage conservation in India and the wide range of episodic and transitory inhabitations that have animated and transformed the monumental remains of the city, or rather cities, of Delhi. Delhi presents a spectrum of monumental structures that appear variously to either exist in splendid isolation from the rush of everyday urban life or to peek out amidst a palimpsest of unplanned, urban fabric. The repeated attempts of the state archaeological authorities to disambiguate heritage from the quotidian life of the city was frustrated by bureaucratic lapses, casual social occupations, and deliberate challenges. The monuments offered structural and spatial canvases for lives within the city, providing shelter, solitude, and the possibility of privacy, as well as devotional and commercial opportunity. The dominant comportment of the city's monuments during the twentieth century was a hybrid monumentality, in which the jealous, legislated custody of the state became anxious, ossified, and ineffectual. An acknowledgement and acceptance of the hybridity of Delhi's monuments offers an opportunity to reorient understandings of urban heritage.

The purpose of the present article is to gain an understanding of the opportunities and difficulties created by the introduction and development of the practice of network (smart) contracts. Our research methodology is based on a holistic set of principles and methods of scholarly analysis employed by modern legal science. It uses a dialectical method involving both general approaches (structural system method, formal logical method, analysis and synthesis of individual elements, individual features of concepts, abstraction, generalization, etc.) and particular methods (legal technical, systematic, comparative, historical, and grammatical methods, method of the unity of theory and practice, etc.). We analyze the views of lawyers and other specialists from Russia and abroad, legislative innovations in the field of digital technologies, the practice of blockchain-based smart contracts, and the main risks (whether legal, technological, operational, or criminogenic) of smart contracts for economic activities with a study of their causes. In the present-day situation, it is necessary to move from the legal definition of the smart contract and its legal and technological characteristics, advantages and disadvantages to the implementation of startups in a wide range of areas, especially business, public regulation, and social relations. Scholarly and information support for such processes will contribute to the development of industry, public administration and digital technology applications to improve the life of individual citizens and society as a whole. The introduction of smart contracts does not require the adoption of new laws or regulations. Instead, one should adapt and, possibly, modify existing legal principles at the legislative and judicial levels to pave the way for the use of smart contracts and other new technologies. The system of contract law provides a sufficient framework for regulating transactions without the introduction of any new legal categories. We propose approaches to the legal definition of the smart contract and identify a set of problems that must be solved at the legislative and technical legal levels in order to implement smart contracts effectively in different spheres of life.
