A conceptual model of a transition from technogenic to human-induced globalization

Globalization is a fundamental integrative social mechanism, in which two stages can be distinguished: “technogenic globalization” and “human-induced globalization”. The result of a phase transition from the first stage to the second should be the final formation of an information society. The aim of the study was the theoretical substantiation of globalization as a mechanism for a transition to an information society, and identification of the role and place of technogenesis in it. The paper considers the essence of a transition to an information society in the context of the replacement of technogenic globalization with human-induced globalization, and draws a conclusion about the place of technogenesis and artificial intelligence, as its institution, in human-induced globalization. It is shown that at the present stage, human-induced globalization should be implemented with a focus on the following directions of technogenesis: a) formation of breakthrough directions of development of the “Human Variable of society”; b) ensuring the demand for innovative development; c) acquisition by society of a new development resource – “human-energy-informational plasma”; d) formation of a new “capital” mechanism – the mechanism of self-growth of the value of social life on the basis of the investment flow of human-energy-informational plasma.

Educational Requirements for Positive Social Robotics

Social robotics does not create tools but social ‘others’ that act in the physical and symbolic space of human social interactions. In order to guide the profound disruptive potential of this technology, social robotics must be repositioned—we must reconceive it as an emerging interdisciplinary area where expertise on social reality, as physical, practical, and symbolic space, is constitutively included. I present here the guiding principles for such a repositioning, “Integrative Social Robotics,” and argue that the path to culturally sustainable (value-preserving) or positive (value-enhancing) applications of social robotics goes via a redirection of the humanities and social sciences. Rather than creating new educations by disemboweling, the humanities and social sciences, students need to acquire full disciplinary competence in these disciplines, as well as the new skill to direct these qualifications toward membership in multidisciplinary developer teams.

Kuhnian's Paradigmatic Analysis Method As a Solution of Abstract Thinking Difficulties in Social Studies

In general, the intelligence possessed by students is different from one another. The factors influence intrinsic factors, maturity, formation, interests, and freedom. In addition, environmental and educational factors also play a role in the formation of intelligence. This study aims to describe Kuhnian's paradigmatic analysis as a solution to the difficulties of abstract thinking in social studies learning. This study describes the discussion by utilizing a literature study. The research results are described in a paradigmatic analysis. Kuhn thoroughly examines each expert's thoughts and scientific works and reveals his contribution to the scientific revolution. Social studies learning dimensions are explained in the form of social action. Social studies are learning conditions of abstract thinking in the process of causality. The reconstruction to solve the problem of difficulty in abstract thinking in social studies subjects in junior high schools is carried out as follows: 1) Teaching social studies as integrative social studies, 2) implementing social studies learning using a trans-disciplinarity approach, 3) conveying that social studies learning is "advanced knowledge." 4) Applying the inquiry model, and 5) Integrating influential social studies learning.

‘Open Purpose’: Embracing Organizations as Expressive Systems

The concept of purpose gained prominence in organization theory in recent years but there are discrepant views of its meaning, which we review as evolving and different perspectives: economic theories of the firm; stakeholder approaches; integrative social contracts; and social mission. We elaborate these perspectives in terms of the ebb and flow of ideas and eras. Against these instrumental views, we revisit the work of Robert Cooper, namely the ever-open purpose of expressive organizations, and contrast this with fixist views of purpose in instrumental organizations. We engage with the logic of open purpose and sketch a way of rethinking purpose as a general orientation that constantly evolves and changes over time in interaction with its ecosystem.

Online voting behaviour, public content preferences, and content complexity of movies and digital entertainment since the late 19th century

Analysis of cinema and electronic art contents into quantifiable characteristics could provide insights on important elements of human behaviour such as voting behaviour, appreciation, and emotions regarding content. Analysis of movies, series, TV programs, and video games, were performed mining the IMBD database and merging datasets. Data analytics were performed including the relationship between the number of votes and rating, rating and content as timeseries, and multivariate statistical analysis between content and rating as well as production type and rating. Content complexity (i.e. the number of different genre) was also analyzed regarding rating. Results indicated that there is an overall positive relationship between the number of votes and rating for low, intermediate, and high number of votes, while very high number of votes is related with a partisan voting behaviour resulting in negative rating. Adult rated content is declining over the past three decades. Violent content is expressed via other forms of content through time, switching from war to horror. Diversity of content was the highest rated content type linked with diversity and complexity of feelings and emotions. Among all production types, video games were the highest rated ones related with integrative social behaviour with other users or addiction.

The Social Integration of Hindu and Muslim Communities: The Practice of "Menyama-Braya" in Contemporary Bali

The social interaction between Bugis Muslims and Hindus in Bali has long been known to be harmonious. This interaction can become a role model for religious interaction in Indonesia. This paper aims to explain the practice of menyama braya (brotherhood) as a cultural system and its relevance to the integrative social interaction between the Hindu and Bugis Muslim communities in Bali. The research was conducted in the villages of Serangan, Kepaon, Tuban, Suwung, Tanjung Benoa, and Angantiga. The research is qualitative in nature and draws on interviews and the broader literature. The study reveals that a successful harmonious social life cannot be separated from the adoption of menyama braya culture, which combines the attitude of solidarity and tolerance. The practice of the menyama braya cultural system has been maintained for generations through various methods, such as socialization, rituals, the use of the same symbols, and formal educational institutions.

The constituent pillar of the leadership-elite positioning

The purpose of the research is the analysis of the constituent model of leadership and elite positioning and power, identifying the peculiarities of applying this model to modern social and political processes in terms of globalization and informatization. The research methodology was based on the body of scientific methods and approaches in the context of the research subject and logic. An integrative social and psychological approach as well as political analysis were applied. Analysis and synthesis, analogy, generalization, deduction, induction and comprehensive study were applied as the basic methods of the research. The synthesis of structural-functional, systemic and institutional approaches resulted in analyzing the constituent approaches to the leadership and elite positioning in the power structures. The article deals with the theoretical and methodological aspects of the leadership subject, analyzes the leadership phenomenon in the current socio-political context, examines the models of cross-elite communication as well as the peculiarities of interaction in the chain: leader- followers-constituents. It is noted in the article, that situational leadership vertical models, which characterize traditional leadership, are limited in the sphere of application. In order to be effective, a leader must make sure there is horizontal communication and feedback between elite, followers and constituents on every level of the power structure. The consolidation of the leader and elite, elite and society should be grounded by common strategic goals and values.

Applying Integrative Social Robotics: The Case of Silbot

This paper aims to clarify how “Integrative Social Robotics” (ISR) can solve the triple gridlock of description, evaluation and regulation (D-E-R gridlock) in relation to the concrete case of Silbot. It is indicated how the five principles of ISR can mitigate the ‘strained collaboration’ of Silbot, described by Jeon et al. (2020). The paper arrives at a series of questions that can be used in the research, design and development (RDD) process with the intention to have developers critically reflect on the RDD process along the lines of the ISR framework.
