Introduction. The last two decades are signed with culture meaning increase as one of the strategic priorities of the social and economic development of the EU related to the consolidation of common cultural space, management of socio-cultural activities, and development of “European citizens” identity under cross-cultural dialogue. Currently, the critical enabler of this cultural policy is special programmes. The application of the main principles of these programmes in real has been the key instrument of the European regional policy for last years. Purpose and methods. The purpose of the article is to cover the main tendencies and areas of concern of the European cultural policy based on comparative analysis of the cultural programme of the second generation. In the course of the research, the author has used the comparative, sociological, structural and functional, activity and situational-critical methods, with the help of which the features of the functioning of the above programmes were characterised. Results. Today the EU cultural policy implementation is via the prolonged “Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027” which, in comparison with other cultural programmes, is more structured and differs in an integrated approach to the organisation of the socio-cultural sphere, has incorporated all the implemented cultural and media programmes over the previous 20 years. Conclusions. In the article, there is the first analysis of the difference between the selected programmes in the context of verifying the thesis about the continuity of the programme's principles of the EU cultural policy at the present stage, as well as the objective trend of turning cultural policy into one of the main directions of European domestic policy for the development of the socio-cultural sphere.

The article assesses the EU legal system as a unique institutional unit and highlights its features. It deals with the comparative legal aspects of the regulation of the social welfare of migrant workers in the EU and the EAEU. Attention is paid to the study of legislation on social welfare for migrant workers in the EU, as well as the possibility of realizing the experi-ence accumulated within the EAEU. It is emphasized that the use of comparative models con-cerning the social welfare of migrant workers in the EU and the EAEU can be productive, taking into account the analysis of the state and dynamics of the EU's legal policy in its historical development. The authors have analyzed the historical stages reflecting the difference within the EU approaches to the regulation of social welfare relations for migrant workers. The emphasis is on the role of EU administrative institutions, which provide a balancing approach to the key principles and social policy settings, due to the desire to eliminate distortions and possible conflicts between the norms of states. At the same time, EU members have the competence within the existing common standards of financial security obligations to expand the estab-lished standards and this makes the EU's social policy geographically differentiated. It is noted that the allied states, formed on trade and economic grounds, such as the EU and the EAEU, are characterized by an objective desire for a single legal space, with the uni-fication of approaches on the social welfare of migrant workers throughout the Union. Never-theless, in complex interstate unions, it is impossible to abandon the principle of multi-level regulation of social and security relations, and in this sense, the situation in the EU and the EAEU is quite similar. The current state of EU law in terms of regulating the relations under consideration largely preserves national legal regimes, and each of them, through its special legal means, determines a different amount of social rights of migrant workers. In the context of the EAEU, a similar approach should not be considered productive, since it does not contribute to the goals of this interstate association, defined by Article 4 of the Treaty on its creation. Therefore, within the framework of the EAEU, it is advisable to fix as early as possible the uniform standards in the area of social welfare of migrant workers, estab-lishing a relatively narrow range of powers of the member states of the Union.

Abstract In dit artikel belichten Hanka Otte en Pascal Gielen het onderscheid tussen gemeenschapskunst en gemene kunst, beter bekend als community art en commoning art. Hun stelling is dat gemeenschapskunst, zoals sociaal-artistieke projecten, deels gesubsidieerd worden omdat ze de maatschappelijke status quo bevestigen. Gemene kunst zet daarentegen niet alleen in op het sociale, maar ook op het politieke, en valt daarom vaak tussen de mazen van het vigerende cultuurbeleid. Dat beleid vermijdt volgens de auteurs het politieke, doordat het kunst enkel van publieke waarde acht wanneer het door zoveel mogelijk individuen wordt geconsumeerd. De persoonlijke smaak of persoonlijke werking van kunst staat voorop in het cultuurbeleid, waardoor er wordt voorbijgegaan aan de mogelijkheden die kunst aan een gemeenschap biedt. De auteurs pleiten daarom voor een gemeen cultuurbeleid dat enkel kaders geeft en artistieke ontwikkelingen autonoom hun gang laat gaan. In this article, Hanka Otte and Pascal Gielen examine the difference between community art and commoning art. They argue that community art, like social art, is subsidised in part because it reinforces the societal status quo. Because commoning art, by contrast, not only commits itself to the social, but to the political as well, it tends to fall between the cracks of the current cultural policy. According to Otte and Gielen, this policy turns a blind eye on politics, presuming that only art that is consumed by as many individuals as possible is of any public value. Our cultural policy puts personal taste or art's personal effect centre stage, thus ignoring the many things art has to offer the community. Hence the author's plea for a commoning cultural policy that provides only a framework and that lets artists develop autonomously.

Tourism Potential

The cultural tourism is increasingly perceived as a resource for the territorial development in the post-industrial era. In this article, the author cites the most relevant and the detailed definitions of the cultural tourism, revealing its essence as an independent direction of the tourism industry with specific features that require the reflection and the study. Currently, the cultural tourism performs the econom-ic, cognitive, educational, communicational and peacemaking functions. It has a unique ideological and educational value, which provides the interaction, the dialogue of cultures, as well as the interac-tion and the mutual enrichment of the national, regional or territorial cultures that are self-described the tourist for the perception, the knowledge, the culture and the carrier indeed. The study stresses that its potential must be adequately assessed and used primarily at a specific territorial level – the regional one as well as to be an effective resource for the economic and socio-cultural development of the country’s cultural tourism. The author proposes an integrated approach, which involves highlighting and clarifying the main structural elements of the cultural tourism as an optimal methodological tool for assessing tourism potential, and considering the main aspects of its formation and its development. Particular attention is paid to the definition of the algorithm for applying an integrated approach to analyze the potential of the cultural tourism as a direction of the tourist industry. Three stages of the system analysis and the identification of trends and the directions for the development of the cultural tourism in a particular region are considered. The key components of the tourism potential of the re-gion are analyzed and described: the natural resource, the historical and the cultural, the social and the economic potentials. The author carries out a gradation of factors that have a systemic impact on the development of the cultural tourism. He also emphasizes that it is necessary to take into account their typology (subject, non-subject), as well as the regional specifics when evaluating the cultural and tour-ist resources and gives recommendations on the optimizing tourism activities at the regional level. The article describes the introduction of innovative market mechanisms in the cultural and tourist activities as an important condition for the successful development of the cultural tourism. So, one of the ways of the sustainable development of the region is the cluster approach, in which the territorial formations become the object of the state policy, is to allow using all components of the resource po-tential in tourism and to create complex tourist facilities. In conclusion, the author emphasizes that the cultural tourism in the modern conditions plays a significant role in the economic and the socio-cultural sphere of the society, in shaping the cultural policy, and understanding the place of the culture in the social development.

The Difference

Income tax fulfills not only fiscal, but also social and regulatory function in the economy. Currently, the main burden of paying income tax in Russia is borne by workers with low and middle incomes. In order to increase the social function of the income tax, it is necessary to continue reforming it in order to achieve greater progressiveness. The overall progressiveness of income tax depends on the structure of all tax categories, exemptions and deductions, and not only on the difference between the maximum and minimum rates. As shown in the article, Russian tax legislation does not provide for a lower income threshold that is exempt from income tax, and the amount of tax deductions for children does not provide meaningful support to families. When changing the parameters of income tax, an integrated approach is important, taking into account the possible consequences in the form of a drop in income of regions especially sensitive to this type of tax.

В статье рассматривается вопрос о подготовке специалистов высшей квалификации из представителей коренных народов автономных республик Северного Кавказа во второй половине 1940-х – 1950-е гг. Анализируются формы и методы работы различных уровней партийно-советской власти и системы образования в этом направлении в условиях послевоенного возрождения страны. Отмечается, что в национальных регионах в исследуемый период складывалась система льгот и поощрений, которая заметно облегчала представителям местных национальностей доступ в высшие учебные заведения не только внутри автономных республик, но и за их пределами. Реализация в 1950-е гг. программы целевого внеконкурсного приема в ведущие вузы страны имела важные социально-культурные и кадровые последствия. Она обеспечивала высокий образовательный, профессиональный уровень подготовки и открывала большие возможности для карьерного роста молодых специалистов. В целом проводимая образовательная политика позволила достаточно эффективно в масштабах страны использовать физический и интеллектуальный потенциал северокавказских народов в обеспечении отраслей народного хозяйства и социально-культурной сферы в кадрах специалистов высшей квалификации. Вместе с тем, она содействовала расширению интеллектуальной базы развития национальных автономий и обусловливала заметные сдвиги в социальной структуре общества. Складывавшаяся практика приоритетной подготовки национальных профессиональных кадров ускоряла подъем общего образовательного и культурного уровня коренного населения региона. Еще одним важным социально-политическим итогом деятельности органов власти в сфере образования являлось создание интеллектуального, профессионального слоя общества, который в своем абсолютном большинстве занимал традиционно лояльную позицию в отношении официальной власти и представлял устойчивую социальную базу для проведения социально-экономической и культурной политики в национальных автономиях. The article is devoted to the issue of training highly qualified specialists from representatives of the indigenous peoples of the autonomous republics of the North Caucasus in the second half of the 1940s – 1950s. The forms and methods of work of various levels of party and state authorities and the education system in this direction in the conditions of the post-war revival of the country are analyzed. It is noted that in the national regions during the study period, a system of benefits and incentives was formed, which significantly facilitated access to higher educational institutions for representatives of local nationalities not only within the autonomous republics, but also outside them. The implementation of the program of targeted out-of-competition admission to the country's leading universities in the 1950s had important socio-cultural and personnel consequences. It provided a high educational, professional level of training and opened up great career opportunities for young professionals. In general, the educational policy made it possible to use the physical and intellectual potential of peoples quite effectively on a national scale in providing the national economy and the socio-cultural sphere with highly qualified specialists. At the same time, it contributed to the expansion of the intellectual base for the development of the national autonomies of the North Caucasus and caused noticeable shifts in the social structure of society. The practice of priority training of national professional personnel accelerated the rise of the general educational and cultural level of the indigenous population of the republics and regions of the region. Another important socio-political result of the activities of the authorities in the field of education was the creation of an intellectual, professional stratum of society, which in its absolute majority held a traditionally loyal position in relation to the official government and represented a stable social base for pursuing a long-term socio-economic and cultural policy in national autonomies.

<p>The paper discusses two different approaches to education and the way they are embedded in different discourses on education. The market-oriented approach is compared to the democratic approach. In the paper, the discourse of the European Union is considered as an example of hegemonic neoliberal discourse while the discourse produced by the Summerhill School and the Self-Managed High School of Paris is addressed as a  counterhegemonic discourse. Drawing on Critical Discourse Studies scholars such as Norman Fairclough, and critical pedagogic approaches such as Basil Bernstein’s and Paulo Freire’s, it will be shown that the difference in the ways these institutions represent the social world around them have a strong influence on their discourses on what education is for and should be like. For the European Union, education is a utilitarian means facilitating the adaptation of society to the economic system through the acquisition of predefined skills, while for the democratic approach it is rather a practice developing common decision-making and empowerment through an understanding of the world as a whole.</p>

INTRODUCTION: Schistosomiasis has been described as “one of the most devastating diseases of mankind, second only to malaria in its deleterious effects on the social and economic development of populations in many warm areas of the world.” The disease is worldwide and is probably spreading faster and becoming more intense than the overall research efforts designed to provide the basis for countering it. Moreover, there are indications that the development of water resources and the demands for increasing cultivation and food in developing countries may prevent adequate control of the disease and thus the number of infections are increasing.Our knowledge of the basic biology of the parasites causing the disease is far from adequate. Such knowledge is essential if we are to develop a rational approach to the effective control of human schistosomiasis. The miracidium is the first infective stage in the complex life cycle of schistosomes. The future of the entire life cycle depends on the capacity and ability of this organism to locate and enter a suitable snail host for further development, Little is known about the nervous system of the miracidium of Schistosoma mansoni and of other trematodes. Studies indicate that miracidia contain a well developed and complex nervous system that may aid the larvae in locating and entering a susceptible snail host (Wilson, 1970; Brooker, 1972; Chernin, 1974; Pan, 1980; Mehlhorn, 1988; and Jones, 1987-1988).

Abstract. Background: Monitoring of suicide rates in the recovery phase following a devastating disaster has been limited. Aim: We report on a 7-year follow-up of the suicide rates in the area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred in March 2011. Method: This descriptive study covered the period from March 2009 to February 2018. Period analysis was used to divide the 108-month study period into nine segments, in which suicide rates were compared with national averages using Poisson distribution. Results: Male suicide rates in the affected area from March 2013 to February 2014 increased to a level higher than the national average. After subsequently dropping, the male rates from March 2016 to February 2018 re-increased and showed a greater difference compared with the national averages. The difference became significant in the period from March 2017 to February 2018 ( p = .047). Limitations: Specific reasons for increasing the rates in the recovery phase were not determined. Conclusion: The termination of the provision of free temporary housing might be influential in this context. Provision of temporary housing was terminated from 2016, which increased economic hardship among needy evacuees. Furthermore, disruption of the social connectedness in the temporary housing may have had an influence. Our findings suggest the necessity of suicide rate monitoring even in the recovery phase.
