The article presents the peculiarities of organization of socio-cultural environment of inclusion in educational institution for a person with disability. Analyzing the definitions of the sociocultural environment has allowed us to form our own definition of the phenomenon for a person with a disability: the sociocultural environment is the environment of people in an educational institution, which includes social groups, information flows, the influence of various public organizations, cultural and educational activities, values and moral qualities of the sub objects, jointly affect the change and formation of internal installations and external characteristics of the object and its socialization. We have developed a model of the sociocultural environment of a disability education institution that includes external and internal factors that affect its components, inputs, and output. The model of sociocultural environment of educational institution for people with disabilities includes external and internal factors that affect its components, input flows and output product. Externally, the sociocultural environment of the educational institution is influenced by a number of factors that can be divided into the following groups: macrofactors, mesofactors, microfactors. The study was attended by 46 students of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, specialty "Social Pedagogy" aged 17 to 23 years (including 3 students with disabilities) and 8 teachers and employees. Further, all the studies were conducted on the same contingent of students, only the volume of samples from the general population was changed. More than half of students were positive about the development of inclusive education and adoption into their group of students with disabilities, which is a favorable factor in the development of social environment.

In this article, I deal with nostalgia as an implicit category in the 19th-century German sociological discourses. I draw on the approaches that argue that sociology can be seen as a nostalgic social science since the sociologists? discourses were focused on the issues of causes, characteristics, and consequences of the modern age for individuals and society. Trying to explicate modern society, usually by comparing it to the premodern forms of social order, modern sociologists shaped dichotomous categories that were used for the definition of basic sociological concepts, one of the typical ones being the dichotomy between modern society and traditional communities. I here argue that modern sociologists constructed their theories in relation to the idea of a lack or loss, i.e. in relation to the question of what the modern society left behind during its growth: community, spirit or freedom. An alternative, a solution, or simply a utopian object for making comparison are found exactly in the object that is lost - in the nostalgic reflection on those aspects of humanity that were no longer possible in the modern age. Hence, I argue that modern sociology can be defined as a certain discourse on social loss. This will be elaborated on the examples of theories of Ferdinand Tonnies, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel.

The author examines the concept of noosphere as applied in the document studies. In 1990ies, Kim Gelman-Vinogradov used in the document studies and introduced the concepts of the ‘noospheric document environment’ and noospheric document memory’. The author also demonstrates how Gelman-Vingradov’s ideas are related with A. V. Sokolov’s interpretation of documentosphere and definition of the document. The concept of nooinformation is examined as applied to the works by Yury Stolyarov and Roman Moltulsky, along with its relation to the documents as the object of library studies and to the concept of social (semantic) information. In the works of bibliography theorists: Galina Gordukalova, V. Fokeev, Alexandra Kumanova, the concept of noosphere is used to characterize document flows, document information, information modeling, and bibliographic compression of information. Arkady Sokolov’s proposal to develop noospherology, and his idea of the libraries; role in promoting the noospheric future and educating homo noospheric, is examined. The author also suggests that the noospheric approach will become a methodological instrument in documentospheric knowledge and will be of practical use for defining the role of libraries in the modern society.

Objective: This article aims to discuss the role of the healthcare environment on patient’s autonomy. Referring to biomedical ethics will provide a research logic and form a theoretical framework for healthcare designers to define patient autonomy, to master the conditions for promoting it, and to discover the potential of the environment. Background: In modern society, it becomes the responsibility of healthcare architects to realize the design of “benefit for patients.” The goal of healthcare environment design and research is also gradually from a basic level of ensuring the physiological safety of patients to achieving a higher level of respecting patients and helping realize their self-realization. However, how to express respect to patients in the healthcare environment is ambiguous. In order to break through the limitation of architectural specialty, we propose to introduce biomedical ethics. Under this major premise, this article will discuss from the perspective of respect for autonomy (RA). Method: This article combines the definition of autonomy and the discussion of the medical and nursing practice to summarize and propose the themes about RA. It draws on the top-down deductive logic of biomedical ethics from theory to application and applies the three-condition theory of Beauchamp and Childress to deduce the role of the healthcare environment on patient autonomy in each theme. Conclusion: Introducing biomedical ethics into the study of environmental design provides a more theoretical and systematic way of thinking about the role of the healthcare environment. Some autonomy-supportive design strategies are collected and proposed.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), as a cluster of metabolic derangements which are major risk factors for vascular disease is one of the most important threats to public health. Although the epidemiological and limited amount of basic science and clinical evidence link MetS to several male urogenital disorders, a holistic approach aiming to define common mechanistic pathways and new possible therapeutic targets are lacking. Objective: The current review has focused on providing scientific evidence on the role of MetS and its components on male urogenital disorders and the definition of new therapeutic targets. Method: In this review, current clinical and basic science literature were assessed examining the role of MetS in etiology and pathogenesis of male urogenital disorders and performed through PubMed from 2000 to May 2017. Results and Conclusion: MetS shows an important association with common male urogenital disorders such as benign prostatic enlargement, lower urinary tract symptoms, erectile dysfunction, infertility and renal disease. MetS affects male urogenital system mainly through endocrine and vascular mechanisms. Obesity, hypogonadism, obesity-induced androgen deficiency, hyperinsulinemia and inflammation are the mechanisms commonly involved and may act as potential targets for MetS-male urogenital system interrelations. Future studies are needed to evaluate the therapeutic approaches for intervention in MetS-male urogenital disease relations.

G. W. F. Hegel's greatest contributions regarding religion and politics stem from his abiding concern with social cohesion. While Hegel was interested in now classic questions regarding the role of religion in government, the focal point of his engagement with religion and politics lay in his view of religion's role in binding together a complex society in which a more traditional social order had been fragmented by interrelated economic, social, political, and intellectual transformations. He was less concerned with the role of religious reasons and language in policy debates or elections than with politics in a broader sense—specifically, the way that religion enables the population as a whole to identify with the society's defining social and political institutions, including the family, the economic order, and other legal institutions. In this image, religion reconciles the population with the existing practices and institutions. Without significant degrees of such identification and reconciliation, even the best of laws will be insufficient to sustain a polity. Though reconciliation is one of Hegel's principal terms for this relationship, it in no sense implies “making do,” settling for, or simply accepting the status quo because it happens to exist. Rather, he is ultimately concerned with religion's ability—or inability—to enable us to find ourselves at home in a just and rational social order that promotes freedom.

In the article, based on the analysis of the principles of the competence approach and the project TUNING, the following features were identified in the process of graduate training of marine specialists in the Kherson State Maritime Academy: the practical orientation of educational programs, which is achieved by a clear definition of learning outcomes, consistent with the needs of society and economy; application of the concept of macrocompetence; qualitative changes in the way of understanding education; orientation on the formation of universal training actions by marine specialists; the application of B. Bloom's taxonomy with modifications made by scientists L. Anderson, D. Kraswall and P. Airazia; determine the results of training marine specialists in accordance with international standards. It is determined that the challenges faced by the educational institution in implementing the competence approach are the definition of learning goals, the transition to the formation and acquisition of competences by students, which is related to the requirements of modern society and the achievement of the major goals of higher education. The obstacles in the implementation of the competence approach are highlighted. It is noted that students of marine specialties should formulate universal educational activities, namely: to acquire knowledge in the process of independent work with educational literature; plan your activity; perceive, process and present educational information in various forms; to highlight the most important categories of teaching information in the text of the text; assessment skills; self-control ability. It is determined that the process of implementing the competence approach consists of two parts: technological and resource. The technological part determines the steps in implementing the modern organization of the educational process in accordance with the new realities. The resource part is inextricably linked with the implementation of technological.

In recent decades, many studies have examined the role of accounting in organizations, the relationship between accounting and power in modern society, and the use of accounting as an instrument to construct a social order and foster interaction within a social context. However, little is known about the use of accounting to exert power in religious organizations – despite these organizations being among the most socially influential entities of pre-modern times. This article seeks to help fill this gap by analyzing the income and expenditure reports of the Komyo-ko-gata of the Toji Temple (1427–1532) in Japan. Two distinctive contributions are made. First, instead of focusing on Christianity, the subject is a Buddhist organization during the Middle Ages. Second, both synchronic and diachronic approaches are applied in this analysis. The findings confirm that accounting can strengthen strained relationships within organizations by facilitating control over information related to money management.

Self-employment in Russia characterized by a high level of shadow employment. The special tax regime was designed to carry out this activity from shadow. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the taxpayers behavior and their tax culture. The purpose of the article is to study the tax culture, factors influencing its demonstration in the taxpayers behavior, as well as to identify the features of tax culture in the field of self-employment. The information base of the article composed documents regulating the activities of self-employed, statistical data on the quantity, structure and dynamics of self-employment in the Russia and other countries, sociological surveys of self-employed. The main difference in the interpretation of tax culture is associated with the definition of its subjects. Therefore, the role of subjective factors in the taxpayers behavior is often overestimated. It is concluded that it is necessary to consider the issue of the tax culture of the self-employed not only from the point of view of their mentality, but first of all from the point of view of the external conditions of their activity. Low and irregular incomes, lack of social guarantees and financial support lead to the formation of the self-employed tax culture in the conditions of «survival». In this regard, actions to improve the tax culture by influencing internal factors are ineffective.
