Political Apathy

Before the 1980s one hardly spoke of any significant social movements in the Baltic republics. Political apathy, bordering on hopelessness, as far as the masses were concerned, and an emphasized apoliticism of the intelligentsia, whose members never tired of stressing that their only concerns are professional, cultural, maybe aesthetic, but not at all political—that was the social situation in the Baltic states most of the time under Soviet rule.This overall image of apathy, complacency, and acquiescence was, however, not entirely correct. Underneath there were many things happening, as very few Balts indeed were total conformists and total loyalists of the Soviet regime. Most of them were, rather, “conservationists.” That is a special term I use for people outwardly loyal to the Soviet system, working within that system, trying to comply with the rules of the system, but at the same time using whatever position in the system they have to preserve their nation's economic, cultural, and historical heritage. They were trying especially hard to safeguard their nation's economic well-being, ecological situation and, of course, spiritual identity and heritage, by promoting art, literature and other activities, mainly under the slogan “national in form and socialist in content,” but more and more national in form and less and less socialist in content, as far as the circumstances allowed it. These people wore the disguise of Soviet loyalism for the benefit and the advantage of their own nation; that was the attitude I call conservationism in the Baltic states and that was the attitude that was prevalent among most native Balts.

Recently, the natural gas is expected to be an environmentally friendlier energy and alternative to the nuclear energy. In the social situation, many oil and gas and engineering companies had studied FEEDs (Front End of Engineering Designs) of FLNG (LNG-FPSO) expected to be a new production system for offshore natural gas development in the near future. The FLNG system is no proven technology and there is no FLNG operation, which can make it difficult to design FLNG. Furthermore, it is noted that FLNG designers can’t get enough information for the design. Gas explosion is the technical problems for the topside facilities of FLNG. The objective of this paper is to study the gas explosion for the FLNG design.

Ethnic Policy

The social well-being of people of different nationalities is considered as an important component of the ethno-social situation and the qualitative characteristics of the urban inter-ethnic community. Such a community is justified as a significant object of ethnic policy at the municipal level. Based on the generalization of the results of mass sociological polls conducted under the leadership of the author, the paper describes the social well-being of the population of Novosibirsk: the level of general well-being and degree of satisfaction with certain aspects of life, identity, state and dynamics of inter-ethnic relations, as they are seen by different ethnic groups. It records, on the one hand, the existence of favorable social well-being and a benevolent attitude of the majority of residents towards members of other ethnic groups and, on the other hand, certain anxieties related to the social status of residents and the development of inter-ethnic relations in recent years. The author also highlights the tasks of the municipal government that are solved by monitoring the social well-being of the urban inter-ethnic community.

The psychological well-being is an essential condition of development and socialization of students. There are several approaches to understandIng and assessing psychological well-being of children and teenagers. The psychological well-being of school schoolchildren is considered by researchers as subjective feeling satisfaction of life or as a condition of psychological health. Multiple-factor models of psychological well-being (M. Yagoda, K. Riff, Yu.V. Bessonova, A.M. Prikhozhan) indicate the connection of psychological well-being with physiological and socio-psychological characteristics of the personality, which are the basis for self-realization of a person. To develop a program of psychological and pedagogical support aimed at strengthening the psychological wellbeing of schoolchildren, it is relevant to assess the emotional sphere (anxiety, depression, etc.), the cognitive sphere (optimism, reflective abilities), as well as the diagnosis of the characteristics of the social situation of development and the environment child, especially the family development situation and psychological safety of the educational organization.

The Impact

There is a growing number of publications in the scientific literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the situation in national economies. The number of studies in which this problem is considered at the regional level is much smaller. At the same time, due to differences in the levels of development of regional economies, the impact of the pandemic on regional economies is different and differs from that recorded at the macro level. The research results presented in the article continue the publication of annual analysts on the development trends of the economies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which began in 2012, however, it is based on a new methodology. The indicators used in the analysis are no longer related to the gross regional product. The authors made an attempt to determine: the existence of a relationship between the “quality of the social environment” of the regions and the economic activity carried out on its territory; to specify the sources of financing for the development of the social environment of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The author have identified the groups of regions where the provision of a certain level of social well-being can be achieved through the development of their own economy, as well as the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, where this is not possible in the short term. All groups of regions, except for the second, shows the absence of a strong correlation between the levels of social well-being and economic activity. It is indicated that transfers from the federal budget play a significant role in supporting social well-being in most constituent entities of the Russian Federation. They largely compensate for the lack of economic activity to finance costs. The question is raised about the need to move to a reasonably asymmetric model of building relations between the federal center and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and a reasonably asymmetric model of interbudgetary relations adequate to it.

In the article, the phenomena of “psychological well-being of the individual” is considered in the con-text of the cultural-historical theory of L.S. Vygotsky, in particular, the statement he developed on the “social situation of development”, which is based on the child’s experience of his environment and himself in this environment. Attention is drawn to the complexity and ambiguity of the very concept of “well-being” from the standpoint of the cultural development of the individual, to the motives and emotions that determine the emergence and nature of the feeling of satisfaction with oneself, one’s actions and one’s life. The assumption is discussed that psychological well-being can be understood as an indicator of the psychological health of a person, which is one of the most important states of a person and is associated with the moral development of a person. It is shown that the main condition for the “emergence” of a feeling of psychological well-being and its orientation lies in the interaction of the phenomena of “culture” and “education” and the deep mutual enrichment of the processes of training and education based on the integration of rational and emotional cognition of the world by a growing person at each stage of ontogenesis.

This article is devoted to the social vulnerability of freelance workers and the way it is represented in different dimensions of precariousness. According to the previous studies, we identifed the categories of social insurance (fnancial, juridical, lack of social guaranteesand lack of personal well-being) and the most common indicators within each. We conducted a qualitative research using in-depth semi-formal interviews with 21 employees older than 18 years, who are engaged in freelancing at the moment or had such experience in the last couple of years. The number of informants included employees for whom freelance is one of the main sources of income for at least one year. During the interview, the informants were speaking about the subjective assessment of social precariousness and also answered to some questions aimed at identifying the objective features of the precious situation in employment status. In the analysis of subjective assessments of social precariousness, it was revealed that informants cannot be divided into categories according to the degree of precariousness, because they can experience social vulnerability in one or several areas at the same time. According to the results of the study, we propose to consider precariousness as a certain scale from 0 to the maximum value of the insecurity parameters. This approach will take into account the importance of subjective assessment of freelancers’ position, while the dichotomy “precariat — free agent”, which is mostly shared by researchers, does not consider the complexity of this social phenomenon.

In the documents reflecting the modern Russian Federal policy in the field of education, one of the main tasks is defined as the well-being of the family and the formation of trust in the family as a social institution. In the article, the social institution of the family is considered as a leading factor in the aspect of managing the social situation of a child's development. The partnership of the family with the systems of General and non-formal education of children is presented as an effective practice of social and ped-agogical interaction, focused on the social and mental development of children. The fea-tures of social and pedagogical interaction of institutions of General and non-formal education of children with the family as a subject of designing an individual educational trajectory are revealed. It is shown that in the modern conditions of modernization of Russian education, there is a tendency of alienation between the family and the school. The school implements the main directions of work with parents, which reflect its lead-ership and guiding role in this process: increase of their psychological and pedagogical knowledge; involvement in the educational process of the school; involvement in public administration of an educational institution. The family manifests itself as a social part-ner of the institution of non-formal education of children, whose activities assume a fo-cus on matching the interests, inclinations, abilities of children. The implementation of social and pedagogical partnership is based on the establishment of links between the family and the educational environment, in the creation of which it actively participates. The interaction of n-education with the family creates conditions for the motivated par-ticipation of children in the implementation of their educational routes. There is an in-crease in the importance of such educational practices, which can include the family in various types of pedagogical activities as an equal subject, along with children.

Health And Well Being

This paper examines several aspects of the social situation of the older immigrant population in Switzerland. It reviews their demographic history and characteristics and provides profiles of their health and well being, their material standard of life and access to social security and related benefits. It reports selected findings from an original survey of older Italian and Spanish citizens who are resident in the country, which show relatively high rates of disadvantage and poverty. The determination of a large proportion of the immigrant population to remain in Switzerland after they have ceased work demonstrates that the minorities who entered the country as labour migrants will become a permanent element of the Swiss population and its society. Neither the politicians nor the general public in Switzerland have yet accepted the reality of this new diversity. Given the continuation and indeed growth of international labour migration, the paper concludes by discussing the social policy and attitudinal options that face the governments and the population of Switzerland and many other European countries.
