Abstract. Purpose. The article describes the economic component of routine eating behavior. Based on the ideas of the structural-functional paradigm and classical economic institutionalism, as well as the data of a sociological study conducted by the authors using the original methodology, the analysis of nutrition as a socio-economic institution that directly affects the distribution of resources and household costs is presented. Methods. To test the hypothesis of the formation of institutionally regulated food practices in modern society, the authors conducted a sociological study in September 2020. An integrative research strategy was applied using qualitative and quantitative methods of collecting social information, ensuring the quality and reliability of the data obtained. Implementing qualitative methods, we used narrative interviews, included observation, focus groups and written surveys (provoked by researchers essays on nutrition problems, presented by respondents in free form). The quantitative method was presented by a pilot smart survey (N = 75). Results. Conclusions: on the formation of a model of healthy nutrition in the majority of respondents and that nutrition increasingly acquires the features of a social institution and depends on the functioning of other social institutions in the economic, political, social and cultural spheres. First of all, the role of the state, the institution of property, education, culture, science is increasing, and their role in the formation of ecological healthy consumption of various population groups is increasing. Scientific novelty. Programs of social and economic support of vulnerable segments of the population, creation of conditions for an exit from “coronavirus crisis” are necessary. The problem of food security requires innovative programs for the development of the agro-industrial complex, modernization of logistics supply chains of food “from field to counter”, the creation of large wholesale distribution centers and investments in agricultural science.

Historical Experience

In the light of such a direction of sociology as "social structure, social institutions and processes" (22.00.04), it is important to consider such a fundamental social institution as education. The article deals with the issues of training teachers in the diachronic aspect. A socio-sociological analysis of the state of the issue in a particular region of Russia-the Bryansk district of the Oryol province at such a time interval as the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. The relevance of the review of historical experience in the selection and training of teaching staff is not in doubt. The success of education at all times depended crucially on the level of teaching. In modern society, the issues of education reform are very acute, so it is legitimate to turn to the historical past. After the peasant reform, the need for educated people increased dramati- cally, and consequently, it was necessary to train many teachers. Various long-term and short-term pedagogical courses have played a huge role in improving the skills of teachers. The following research methods were used for data analysis: historical, sociological, and quantitative methods of data analysis (one-dimensional statistical analysis). A deep analysis of the source base of the study-the works of Gusev D.V., Zabolotny N.F., Kos- modamianskogo M., Sokolov Ya.D., materials of the state archives of the Bryansk and Oryol regions. The results of the study are that the system of training teachers in this period of time is analyzed, and a detailed picture of this phe- nomenon is given in a single district of the Russian Empire. This analysis is necessary for applying historical experience in modern conditions - during the period of systemic innovations in Russian education. The results of historical and archival research can be applied in such fields of knowledge as regional history, educational history, his- torical local history, and sociology.

In this article, the authors comprehend the moral and ethical phenomenon of "Adyge habz the problems of its preservation and development in modern society in the context of globalization. The study of traditions is undoubtedly relevant in modern conditions, when many ethnic groups persistently retain interest in past values, their origins and prospects. The authors note that this problem is relevant not only for the Adygs, but also for other peoples of the North Caucasus, which have their own analogues of national moral and ethical codes. Based on the results of the conducted sociological research, it is concluded that the role of Adyghism (adygag) in the system of traditional ethno-cultural values of the Adyghes has decreased, and therefore there is a need to revive and develop the national identity of the Adyghes.

AbstractModern society has undergone a fundamental change to a society built around purposively established organizations. Social theory in this context can be a guide to social construction. Foundations of Social Theory is dedicated to this aim. Being oriented towards the design of social institutions it has to choose a voluntaristic, purposive theory of action and must make the behavior of social systems explainable in terms of the combination of individual actions. It has to deal with the emergence and maintenance of norms and rights, the concepts of authority, trust, law and legitimacy, the viability of organizations and the efficiency of social systems. But more important than the specific points is the vision of a new role for social theory in an increasingly constructed social environment. This vision is the motivation behind Foundations of Social Theory.

Relevance. The effective use of agricultural land is a fundamental prerequisite for the successful implementation in the agro-industrial complex of the task of providing the population with food, and production with raw materials. At the same time, the issues of methodological support of the procedures for determining the integral indicator for assessing the use of agricultural land, established on the basis of a theoretically grounded unified approach based on quantitative methods, have been developed with insufficient completeness. Actualization of the issues of improving the theory and practice of assessing the effectiveness of the use of agricultural land in agricultural production is becoming one of the priority tasks of land reclamation science. The purpose of this work is to create a methodological basis for the process of assessing the use of agricultural land, which guarantees the comparability of the considered options for agroproduction in different natural and economic conditions.Methods. The research is based on the method of point assessments for indicators of agricultural land exploitation and the formation on their basis an integral criterion of land use efficiency. The proposed procedure includes: analysis of statistical data characterizing the dynamics of the values of indicators of used land resources, calculation of local assessments of the feasibility of their exploitation and assessment of the efficiency of land use according to a generalizing criterion represented by the sum of these local assessments.Results. A methodology has been developed and a method has been created for determining the efficiency of the use of agricultural land, based on a generalized integral assessment of the operation of agricultural land, which allows to identify bottlenecks in agricultural production and outline rational directions for the development of land use. The testing of the algorithm of the methodology and capabilities of the scale for the integral assessment of the efficiency of the use of land resources was carried out on the example of the Non-Black Earth Zone of the Russian Federation. Shown is an unsatisfactory (below the national average) contribution of agricultural production to the gross regional product. On the whole, positive dynamics of agricultural production in the Non-Black Earth Zone was established, which is achieved due to the development of animal husbandry, which is an effective factor in the formation of modern efficient agriculture of the territory, with the orientation of the crop production system on the raw material basis of feed production or the sector of the economy of the agro-industrial complex of the territory.

The Impact

The article considers the main trends and features of the impact of social isolation measures in a global pandemic on the life of modern society. The author notes that the practice of implementing measures of social isolation distinguishes certain social strata, pushing others to the periphery of managerial attention and support; aggravates feelings of social inequality of opportunity, changes space and intensity of individual and social mobility; affects the authority of local and regional government and attitudes towards them. The article describes various aspects and difficulties of individual and social adaptation to the pandemic. The carried out comparative analysis of European and Russian sociocultural context, in which social challenges of the pandemic are manifested, shows their common features: aggravation of problems of social adaptation, different degrees of readiness for it, an asynchronous development of integration processes, an authoritarian-conservative turn in the mass consciousness. The characteristic of the main trends of changes in consciousness and behavior is given, in which the response of Russian society to the challenges of new living conditions and the pandemic reformatting of the social communications space is manifested. The attention to the multidirectional character of adaptation strategies of the population is drawn. The author expresses the opinion that the choice of the optimal variant of society's adaptation to global environmental, including pandemic, challenges is determined both by the elite's ability to transform social institutions and by a change in the dominant personality type. An atomized type of individual, focused on the values of early modernity, in whose subconsciousness authoritarian-paternalistic attitudes are preserved, should be replaced by a type of personality, with qualities and abilities corresponding to the imperatives of a complex and dynamically changing modern society.

The process of assessing the financial stability of an agricultural enterprise and the possible introduction of elements of a risk management system is illustrated by the example of the agricultural organization JSC “Alabuga Sote” (the Republic of Tatarstan). In order to consider the financial stability of the enterprise, the following indicators were calculated: absolute liquidity ratio, current liquidity ratio, profitability on equity and profitability of sales. Based on these calculations, the company’s financial stability was assessed and possible measures were proposed to improve it. In addition to quantitative methods for assessing financial sustainability (calculations), there are also qualitative methods that are aimed at previously forecasting company risks such as SWOT analysis, PEST analysis, active monitoring of threat, threat matrix generation, Michael Porter model, mathematical modeling, construction of scenarios, the involvement of expert opinion and so on. The development and implementation of a risk management system is one of the most important directions for the development of the enterprise (including the agro-industrial complex). This mechanism is able to provide both financial stability and investment attractiveness of the organization.

The Foucault’s interpretation of the police, its theoretical substantiation, the range of powers and managerial tasks in modernist discourses. The French philosopher emphasized it should the modern concept of “police” does not coincide with its original theories of modern times. The doctrines of modern political scientists idealized the vocation of the police and identified it with the entire government, providing it with universal means of implementing the state interest. Considering the police from the perspective of “history of thought” Foucault notes that it is the unlimited nature of police functions gave the modern government to approve a disciplinary society, a new form of government - bio-power. This form of power totally controlled the individual, “took care of him” at all levels of biological life and, above all, the depths of consciousness - artificially created his authenticity. At the same time, in the theories of political scientists, the police received the status of a self-regulatory body, whose activities were not strictly controlled by state laws. In this case, the police, in the imaginary sense, is the living embodiment of state interest, morality and integrity, the formative and corrective body of state power. In order to form a disciplined and productive life, the police must direct individuals to regulation, to their temporal and hierarchical repetition. The a priori qualities of the police and its all-encompassing powers form the basis for the assertion of the idea of a “police state” and its radical form of panopticon. It is thanks to the idea of panopticon, its practical implementation by the police in modern society - the formation of disciplinary practice of continuous control in the social institutions of modernism.

The article deals with the problem of transportation of agricultural products. The main causes of problems in this area are identified. The mechanism of creating favorable conditions in the system of globalization relations of the modern economy is analyzed. The fundamental elements in the transport system are competition orientation and information ownership over a certain period of time. Globalization involves the integration of different types of transport systems at the sectoral characteristics. The purpose of the research is to study the essence, meaning and prospects of the concept of “economic transport space in the national food supply system" in the processes of food market globalization. The main indicators of the “economic space" are: first, to determine the parameters that characterize the economic transport space, and secondly, to determine the prospects for using its structural elements in the system of transport supply relations, depending on the temporal and spatial components in the modern sector of the economy to provide food for the needs of society.

Research Questions

The library and information science (LIS) profession is influenced by multidisciplinary research strategies and techniques (research methods) that in themselves are also evolving. They represent established ways of approaching research questions (e.g., qualitative vs. quantitative methods). This chapter reviews the methods of research as expressed in literature, demonstrating how, where, and if they are inter-connected. Chu concludes that popularly used approaches include the theoretical approach, experiment, content analysis, bibliometrics, questionnaire, and interview. It appears that most empirical research articles in Chu's analysis employed a quantitative approach. Although the survey emerged as the most frequently used research strategy, there is evidence that the number and variety of research methods and methodologies have been increasing. There is also evidence that qualitative approaches are gaining increasing importance and have a role to play in LIS, while mixed methods have not yet gained enough recognition in LIS research.
