For the world community UNESCO has developed international standards of media information literacy, which have been adopted by all UNESCO member countries. In Central Asia, Kazakhstan was the first to deal with these issues 10 years ago. The group of scientists of the Kazakh National University named by al-Farabi is working on studying this issue. Most of the scientific works on media education are aimed at justifying the need for media education in modern society and its value. The purpose of the article is the development of methodological materials on the formation of literacy in the field of media and information literacy for training target groups and informing the public. The authors of this article apply the methodology of comparative historical research, the methodology and technique of sociological research, the systemic and structural-functional approach in combination with comparative historical method and statistical data analysis, as well as the study of official documents characterizing the policy of international community and Kazakhstan. Also, content analysis and qualitative documents analysis, as well as comparative research methods, were used. As a result of the research, it was concluded that any conceptual design, scientific paradigm suffers to some extent with idealization and the conceptual approach of UNESCO discussion formed the basis for this review, causing positive expectations. However, media is not always socially-oriented tool. It is clear that in this scenario, it is not necessary to rely solely on the consciousness of journalists and self-censorship of editors. However, understanding the principal approaches of UNESCO and following the recommendations developed can control risks and contribute to the development of a full-fledged civil society. Practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using its results in the field of media, psychology, pedagogy, culture, history, journalists, political scientists, social engineers, teachers, students and post-graduate students of universities. The results of the research can be integrated into the educational and upbringing processes. It is necessary to train target groups for the further dissemination and training of media and information literacy and to address the issues of forming a civic position in Kazakhstan.

The article presents the results of a pilot sociological study of migration perceptions of the population, the reasons for their formation, as well as the factors and conditions under which the willingness to live and work in the Khabarovsk Territory is realized. The analysis of the results of the survey, which according to the research methodology was conducted in two target groups ("residents of the region" and "student youth"), indicates the stability and reproduction of migration intentions as a determined willingness and desire to leave the place of permanent residence in the Khabarovsk territory. The sociological approach to the study of migration perceptions of the target groups under study consists in determining the target attitudes, guidelines and expectations from moving, due to the status-role set and personal attitudes of respondents.

Suicide travel, in which potential suicide candidates visit certain destinations to perform physician-assisted suicide (PAS), is an emerging topic in tourism. Despite noted discrepancies between suicide travel and traditional definitions of tourism, PAS practices in tourism have gained the attention of scholars and practitioners. This type of travel is inherently complex, and its segmentation remains ambiguous. This study examines a sample of PAS-related videos and viewer comments to identify relevant travel segments. Based on two rounds of thematic content analysis, the resultant segmentation offers a preliminary perspective on this emerging market. Theoretically, this study is among the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the roles of PAS practices in tourism in terms of specific target groups. Practically, the findings offer novel insight for industry practitioners and policy makers.

ABSTRACTNumbers of management, storage, and preservation of research data problems had been the rationales why national scientific repository (RIN) system was implemented. To measure its success, the present study evaluated, analyzed problems, and provided recommendations using descriptive exploratory qualitative research methods with interviews as the primary data. In terms of the effectiveness, the results showed that the RIN system objectives provided a nationally integrated interoperability research data management system, ensuring long-term archiving and access had been achieved whereas the awareness of researchers to share data and sustainability plans had not been achieved. Based on its efficiency, PDDI LIPI had pursued many activities and strategies. In accordance with its adequacy, the existence of RIN system was able to answer the existing research data problems while the problem of continuity of input of research data and the sustainability of research had not been achieved. In regard to its equalization, RIN system was intended to all professions that carried out research, in which the socialization activities and technical guidance to researchers in relevant institutions were conducted. In coping with its responsiveness, all target groups still could not experience it because the follow-up activity of the target groups after knowing RIN system was still minimum. Hence, it was advised that the target group from both internal LIPI, external LIPI, and PDDI LIPI acted as the implementors. The present study concluded that the implementation of RIN system had not been optimally implemented and still needed improvements. ABSTRAKPermasalahan pengelolaan, penyimpanan, pelestarian data penelitian mendorong dilakukannya implementasi kebijakan sistem RIN. Untuk mengukur keberhasilannya, penulis mengevaluasi, menganalisis permasalahan dan memberikan rekomendasi dengan menggunakan metode penelitan kualitatif deskriptif melalui data primer yaitu wawancara dan data sekunder. Dari efektivitasnya diperoleh hasil bahwa tujuan sistem RIN menyediakan sistem interoperabilitas pengelolaan data penelitian terintegrasi secara nasional, menjamin pengarsipan dan pengaksesan jangka panjang telah tercapai sedangkan kesadaran peneliti untuk berbagi data dan rencana keberlanjutan belum tercapai. Berdasarkan efisiensinya, PDDI LIPI telah mengupayakan banyak kegiatan dan strategi. Berdasarkan kecukupannya, keberadaan sistem RIN mampu menjawab permasalahan data penelitian yang dihadapi sedangkan permasalahan kontinuitas penginputan data penelitian, keberlanjutan penelitian belum tercapai. Berdasarkan pemerataannya, sistem RIN ditujukan kepada seluruh profesi yang melaksanakan penelitian, bukan sekelompok golongan namun kegiatan sosialisasi dan bimbingan teknis lebih banyak kepada peneliti di instansi yang memiliki badan penelitian pengembangan serta perguruan tinggi. Berdasarkan responsivitasnya, belum dapat dirasakan oleh seluruh target sasaran dikarenakan tindaklanjut dari para target sasaran setelah mengenal sistem RIN masih rendah. Maka perlu rekomendasi kepada target sasaran baik dari internal LIPI, eksternal LIPI maupun PDDI LIPI sebagai implementor. Oleh karena itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan sistem RIN belum berjalan dengan optimal dan masih perlu ditingkatkan.

The use of computer technology in the planning, programming sociological research, data collection and analysis allowed more effectively analyze large amounts of information. Mainly in information obtained from sociological studies imply a data set consisting of questions and answers of the respondents. In computer mediated data collection during social studies increases the possibility of automatic recording and accompanying accumulation of information, some of which can be used to improve the quality of the survey results. In the literature, a number of terms that describe the information obtained during the investigation. It includes research data, metadata paradata, auxiliary data and additional data. Each of these data types have to have their interpretation and meaning and take their place in the data hierarchy. Thus, the data – is the answers of respondents to a questionnaire, metadata – this is the formulation of questions and alternatives and supporting documentation on research, paradata – information about the process of generating or receiving data, auxiliary data as construct with higher level contains paradata and other information. This paper is an overview and background of the term "paradata" firstly introduced by Mick Couper in 1998, justified its interpretation and content of this concept is illustrated by examples.
