Evaluation of the current transformations of the social and labor structure of society is one of the central topics in sociological knowledge. At the present stage, all social structures and institutions are becoming more flexible, mobile and changeable, characterized by instability and insecurity. Labor practices, professional trajectories and careers of young people also become unstable. The attention of an increasing number of scientists is attracted to non-linear youth employment strategies that contribute to the formation of a new “group” in the social structure of modern Russian society - the precariat. This article presents the results of a study of precarization in the youth environment as a consequence of the socio-economic transformations of recent decades. On the basis of semi-structured interviews with unstable busy young people of Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan, Russia), as well as a secondary analysis of sociological and statistical data, factors, motives and consequences of young people choosing precarious employment are considered. It is shown that precarious forms of employment are considered by young people as a temporary measure, consent to such work leaves the possibility to easily and simply refuse it if it does not fit, and the decision on unstable employment without social guarantees can be either forced or voluntary.

Research exploring illness experiences of young people with sickle cell disease (SCD) has, to date, ignored fatigue, despite the distinctive anemic nature of SCD. To examine adolescents with SCD fatigue experiences, we conducted narrative and picture-elicitation interviews with 24 adolescents in Ghana. A grounded theory, “body as a machine,” was constructed from the narratives. Fatigue represented the most restrictive and disruptive aspect of growing up with SCD. Its meaning and significance laid in what it symbolized. Fatigue represented a socially undesirable feature that was stigmatizing, due to the expectations of high physicality in adolescence. Fatigue was therefore a major threat to “normalcy.” The social significance of the physical body and its capacities shaped the adolescents’ fatigue experiences. Managing fatigue to construct/maintain socially acceptable identities dominated the adolescents’ lives. Consequently, there is a need for a recognition of the significance of fatigue to adequately support young people growing up with SCD.

This chapter, concerning the ramifications of technology and technological change on teacher training and education programs, offers five points as essential. First, the role of technology in education is central. Second, technology can foster the development of teachers’ critical thinking. Third, teachers cannot be passive recipients of educational reforms and need to be in a position to shape their own and their students’ learning. Fourth, it is the social facet of technology that will play a leading role in teachers’ competence, credentialing, and professional development. Fifth, technology is becoming mature enough to allow us to re-rehearse the notion of evidence-based education in a completely novel way.


Presenting studies in Andean archaeology and iconography by leading specialists in the field, this volume tackles the question of how researchers can come to understand the intangible, intellectual worlds of ancient peoples. Archaeological Interpretations is a fascinating ontological journey through Andean cultures from the fourth millennium BC to the sixteenth century AD. Through evidence-based case studies, theoretical models, and methodological reflections, contributors discuss the various interpretations that can be derived from the traces of ritual activity that remain in the material record. They discuss how to accurately comprehend the social significance of artifacts beyond their practical use and how to decode the symbolism of sacred images. Addressing topics including the earliest evidence of shamanism in Ecuador, the meaning of masks among the Mochicas in Peru, the value of metal in the Recuay culture, and ceremonies of voluntary abandonment among the Incas, contributors propose original and innovative ways of interpreting the rich Andean archaeological heritage.

The problems raised in the article by A. V. Ivanov and Yu. V. Popkov “Spiritual and ecological civilizational perspective: the value potential of youth in the Siberian context”, published in the journal “Siberian society” no. 1 (2021), are very relevant in conditions of serious internal and external “challenges”: coronavirus, sanctions of a number of countries against Russia, “brain drain”, especially among young people, the need for radical modernization of society in the context of globalization etc. Siberia is undoubtedly one of the centers of the Eurasian civilization. Siberia is a region not only with the richest natural resources, but, no less important, human resources. The main “human capital” is youth. The author of the article rightly notes the leading role of youth in modern socio-political and economic transformations. At the same time, “human capital”, and above all the youth potential of Siberia, is being used ineffectively. Moreover, young people, not seeing opportunities for self-realization in the Siberian region, find such opportunities outside its borders (in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other countries). The “brain drain” of young people is an acute problem not only in Siberia, but throughout Russia. This article is about the topic of the spiritual and ethical component of modern civilizational processes, in which the social identity formation of young people takes a significant place. At the same time, some critical remarks were made about the article by A. V. Ivanov and Yu. V. Popkov. In particular, the expediency of referring to the experience of the past, to those values and morals that existed more than a hundred years ago, is questioned. Certain conclusions controversy of the article under discussion is noted. Although, according to the author, it is precisely in their ambiguity that its heuristic potential lies, since they encourage discussion and the formation of new approaches. The article highlights and analyzes three main paradigms of modernization. On the basis of N. Luhmann’s approach, the structure of the civilizational order as an autopoietic system is formulated. The necessity of preserving the unique socio-cultural landscapes of Siberia is substantiated.
