The IFRS have been adopted by most countries. This adoption differs in terms of method of implementation from one country to another. In fact, according Zeef and Nobes (2010), the adoption of IFRS in the world by countries to listed companies can be classified in accordance to its level of compliance with the IFRS issued by the IASB into four methods: "due process", "standard by standard", "optional" and "not fully converged". These authors have given some examples of adopters’ countries and have not classified the ensemble of countries adopting the IFRS in the world.In this paper, we introduce a new classification of methods of implementation of IFRS based on the three criteria: The conformity with the IFRS Issued by the IASB, the necessity of a regulatory passage and the policy of implementation. Thus, the content analysis of studies and reports issued by several international entities concerning the adoption of IFRS around the world has permitted to establish statistics on the methods of implementation applied by the countries around the world. Additional investigations have showed that the state of implementation of IFRS differs from a continent to another.

The article examines how the normative power, which the EU puts forward as an ideological basis of its actions in the world, manifests itself in the national partnerships for modernization between Russia and EU member states. The authors demonstrate the influence of the EU’s normativity on its approach to modernization as well as the difference in the positions of its member countries. It is concluded that there is no unity in the EU’s approach to democracy, human rights and the rule of law, and the new classification of EU member states, which is based on their readiness to act in accordance with the Union’s concept of normative power, is offered.

Thanks to the descriptions published by visiting mining engineers and the more detailed work of the Geological Survey of the State, the general geological features of those parts of Western Australia in which mining is carried on are now well known. A surprising degree of uniformity of geological structure and mode of gold occurrence is revealed over an extent of country unparalleled elsewhere in the world. And yet it is safe to assume that to the casual reader who has not visited the country the above publications present little else than a mass of bewildering detail.“For reasons which can be readily understood, geological inquiry in Western Australia has up to the present consisted chiefly of a series of unconnected observations to the co-ordination of which we must look to the future.”

The paper describes the results of a psychosemantic study of metaphors in psychological counseling for adults. The research material consisted of metaphors from the records of 25 open individual psychological consultations. The chosen metaphors were evaluated by 80 respondents (50 women and 30 men) aged 25—54 (Mage=33.08, SD=9.25). The following research methods were used: the content analysis of metaphors and psychological testing in the framework of G. Kelly’s personality constructs and the specialized method of semantic differential. We present our classification of metaphors in psychological counseling. Categorical structures for evaluating metaphors in psychological counseling were identified, and the semantic spaces of metaphors for respondents of different sexes were constructed and analyzed. The results show that respondents evaluated metaphors based on the emotional valence (positive/negative) of the state they caused; the most positively perceived were educational metaphors of counselors that affected the cognitive sphere. Moreover, women found it more important that metaphors caused a state of calm or anxiety, and men paid more attention to funny or melancholy-inducing metaphors.

The orientation adopted by the world community towards the development of inclusive education requires the development of effective approaches to the assessment and development of inclusion that focus on national and regional specifics. The article presents the results of a pilot study of indicators of the state of the inclusive process by interviewing experts with subsequent content analysis. The possibility of applying an activity-based approach to creating an educational environment (V.V. Rubtsov, I.M. Ulanovskaya and others) as the basis for the implementation of inclusion in an educational organization is being investigated; indicators are proposed for assessing its inclusiveness on the basis of the activity approach with the addition of their value-based approach to assessing the educational environment (S.L. Bratchenko). The answers of the experts correspond to the prevailing understanding of inclusion in Russia (inclusion of persons with disabilities), and experts give priority to indicators of adaptation of individuals, rather than to the results of their mastering the program. The conclusion is drawn about the productivity of the activity approach to the development of inclusion in the educational organization and the compliance of the criteria developed for the inclusion of the educational environment based on the activity approach with the main domestic and foreign scientific developments on this issue.

We here report the results of a content analysis focussed on the due process rights or guarantees which were provided to citizens under all the national constitutions extant in the world at 20 year intervals during the period from 1870 to 1970. Our study had three objectives. First, we sought to test the assumption that the granting of procedural guarantees by national constitutions was. over time, both being expanded within countries and being diffused worldwide across all countries, thus providing additional examples of the tendency for institutional forms to diffuse around the world and consequently for nation states to converge in their institutional structures and practices, tendencies already observed and documented in other realms such as the family, education, and retirement.

In recent years, shared mobility services have had a growing presence in cities all over the world. Developing methodologies to measure and evaluate the impacts of shared mobility has therefore become of critical importance for city authorities. This paper conducts a thorough review of the different types of methods that can be used for this evaluation and suggests a classification of them. The pros and cons of each method are also discussed. The added value of the paper is twofold; first, we provide a systematic recording of the state of the art and the state of the practice regarding the evaluation of the impacts of shared mobility, from the perspective of city authorities, reflecting on their role, needs, and expectations. Second, by identifying the existing gaps in the literature, we highlight the specific needs for research and practice in this field that can help society figure out the role of urban shared mobility.

A revised classification for the world jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) is presented comprising all published family and genus-group names. The new classification consists of eight families: Aphalaridae, Carsidaridae, Calophyidae, Homotomidae, Liviidae, Phacopteronidae, Psyllidae and Triozidae. The Aphalaridae, Liviidae and Psyllidae are redefined, 20 family-group names as well as 28 genus-group names are synonymised, and one replacement name is proposed [Sureaca nomen nov., for Acaerus Loginova, 1976]. Forty two new species combinations are proposed resulting from new genus-group synonymies and a replacement name. One subfamily and three genera are considered taxa incertae sedis, and one genus a nomen dubium. Finally eight unavailable names are listed ( one family-group and seven genus-group names).

Modern problems of musical education are connected with the search for new and more efficient approaches considering the challenges of our time. One of such challenges is unprecedented in history of culture music stream falling upon the modern human. The relict musical mode archetypes, on the basis of which the music of the peoples of the world has been formed for centuries, and which nourish the creativity of the professionals, could be considered as ecologically friendly “musical products”. In this article, following a number of the range of previous publications, the author offers a new classification of mode archetypes based on previously designed principle of asymmetry/symmetry supplemented with several novel approaches. This classification obviously cannot cover all existing mode archetypes of music of people of the world, but definitely addresses their considerable part. Several tables with index-based ordering the most common mode archetypes are considered to be especially significant result of this paper. The author hopes that this method of designation will contribute to the development of a methodology for the analysis of the behavior of mode archetypes in various melodic contexts. The “Solveig’s Song” by E. Grieg is regarded as one of the most famous melodies, in which the musical mode archetype of Norwegian folk music occupies an important place.

Aim of this paper is to review the state of the art of so-called altered states of consciousness, anomalous experiences, and exceptional human experiences, showing the need for reappraising the whole topic and gather them under one roof. The term Non-Ordinary Mental Expressions (NOMEs) and a new classification of non-pathological ostensibly odd phenomena is introduced, emphasizing their epistemological, transcultural and interdisciplinary implications with their huge  implications in medical and psychotherapeutical clinical practice.
