COLLABORATIVE ACTION IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA: DIGITAL CAPITAL, PUBLIC DISCOURSE AND POWER NETWORKS

The article explores potential consequences of utilizing digital networks viewed as a consolidating resource for generating trust and shared values necessary to establish credible commitments though e-driven cooperative pursuits. By taking advantage of research on web-facilitated collaborative algorithms I survey their importance for stimulating user civic engagement as well as highlight the resultant digital capital creation within the informational platforms in which they are embedded. Acknowledging the relevance of communication power in contemporary network societies (Castells) it becomes especially poignant to further analyze the fragmentation of authority brought about by ICT exposure rarely evident within the more conventional concentrated hubs of socio-political discourse. Specifically, I conjecture that compared to more traditional forms of public goods creation digital capital as a pioneering form of web-based interaction breads equally novel challenges for collective gains through the use of a virtually wholly decentralized architecture. With the development of ever more elaborate ways of communicating and connecting digital media allows us to make transparent and democratize the emergence of trend-generating communities that facilitate cooperation, discourage group bias while engendering trustworthiness across all levels of the social strata. Current research, thus, pursues the goal of scrutinizing if and how modern digital networks can be considered as effective, durable tools for accumulating social capital able to accrue critical mass necessary to give momentum to and spur its users towards solving collective action problems. While certain prominent theorists (Habermas, Bourdieu) can be interpreted to suggest that modern technology has had a detrimental effect on communal cohesion leading to slanted, overly manipulative depletion of networks through which it can take root and flow, the author has a more charitable outlook on the utility of digitally produced social capital. In particular, I contend that novel communication channels based on high speed broadband connection coupled with portable, on the go mobile communication have the capacity to create a broad societal nexus of trust by maintaining and multiplying bona fide social bonds.

ACTUAL INTERVIEW ABOUT MODERN СITY PHILOSOPHY: FROM LOCKDOWN TO SMART CITY

The modern era of active urbanization actualizes the study of city-wide processes. But back in the days of policies, Aristotle wrote that “Cities are people, not buildings”, so you should first focus on the features of the urban lifestyle of a city man (Homo Urbanus), its existence and ways for adapting to intense tempo and megaspace. Extraordinary situations that can change quickly and dramatically the city are of special scientific interest: social and natural disasters, revolutions, wars, strikes, epidemics, special life conditions. The main purpose of this publication is to invite a reader to analyze and discuss problems of what worldview positions the current shock can bring us – the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown Keywords: Homo Urbanus, lockdown, metropolis, “third places”, online communication, smart-city

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE KILLER PSYCHOMODEL: PRAXEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

The problem of the identity of the offender (the one who attacks, robs and\or murders) is one of the most complex in criminology. The individual is a key element of crime in general and of a specific crime in particular, since it has subjective causes which, when they interact with the environment, lead to the commission of the crime. If it comes to killing contract, whether it’s for hire or money, it’s more complicated than that. The purpose of the following scientific exploration is to represent a systematic review of the socio-historical background of so-called killer psychomodel - the phenomenon yet neither revealed, nor scientifically thoroughly researched. One of the innovative approaches to developing this psychomodel is that the killer (or hired assassin) is praxeologically viewed from a professional perspective (i.e., who is killer regarding ‘killer’ as a profession). Ontological analysis of the ‘killer’ phenomenon is provided regarding the philosophical dispositions of such a person, the psychological background of such an individual, his specific living conditions, the special conditions created by the organizers aiming these people to continue their ‘killer’ routine activities throughout their lives. Keywords: psychomodel, prototypology, criminology, memory studies, killer as a profession, killer, psychological portrait.

THE PROBLEM OF PROFILE EDUCATION IN PEDAGOGICAL THEORY AND PRACTICE IN THE HIGHLY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

Specific training programs have been identified and thoroughly reviewed, a list оf subjects has been studied and the number of hours has been allocated according to the wishes and areas of education of the various educational systems. The authors of the article examined and analyzed the problem оf prоfile training in several countries. For example, in the USA, France, Germany and Israel public schооls, there may be several curriculum options that are based on a basic curriculum, based оn the age characteristics оf the students and the number of hours taught. The schools themselves choоse the curricula, taking into account the specific cоmposition of the students. For each subject, a curriculum is developed that defines its cоntent, sections, topics, types of wоrk, illustrative material, etc. Keywords: professional education, curriculum, specific training programs, science, prоfile training, social studies, comprehensive schools, public schools profile education, pedagogical analyses, education, various educational systems, cоntent, sections, topics, types of wоrk, high school, curricula, integration apprоach, mоdules, constructing educational cоntent, educatinal area - academic or professional.

MODERN INFORMATION SECURITY ANALYSIS: INTEGRATION OF BEST PRACTICES AND TECHNOLOGIES INTO ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL MEASURES

The article is devoted to modern approaches to the analysis of information security and the search for the most effective practices and technologies for countering threats using administrative and legal measures. The article proposes an information security concept based on several advanced administrative and legal measures, which includes an examination of a number of threat response cycles and with a direct attack on the protected object. Given the high dynamics of modern information processes and the accompanying information threats, it is necessary to have such a complex of measures to counter threats, which would allow not only to respond to threats, but also to predict them. The author, referring to the approaches of the Nobel laureate in economics Daniel Kahneman, on the distribution of decisions into "fast" and "slow", suggests combining the response to attacks with the accumulation of information, for the subsequent identification of the most unprotected elements and predicting future attacks. In particular, the proposed process of responding to attacks, which consists of the following stages of administrative and legal measures: preparation; identification and analysis; localization, elimination of the threat; recovery of activity after an incident. Attention is focused on the need, after the expiration of this four-step algorithm, to consider the initial data for subsequent use in each appropriate period when repeating the cycle. Special attention is devoted to the importance of transmitting data on unlawful attacks to the information collection system, which requires careful planning and coordination between numerous operations and structures. Such a process usually occurs due to well-coordinated administrative and legal measures in organizations, regulated by corporate norms, based on current legislation.

WE READ TODAY: THE PHENOMENON OF THE INTEGRATED SOCIAL BEING IN V. ZENKOVSKY’S SOFIOLOGY

The publication proposes a set of theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of a single philosophical and religious construction: "God – man – spirituality + freedom of will – active integrity of the individual – a holistic social system – a holistic philosophical and religious system", thus analyzing the emergence of a holistic personality, as the basis for the formation of a holistic social system, V. Zenkovsky's sophiology combines the process of functioning of two systemic projects – social and divine, it includes the realization of the relationship between God and a man on the basis of spirituality and freedom of will. It should be noted that from the point of view of the chronology of V. Zenkovsky's formation of the socio-economic project of arrangement of the social existence of European civilization, it is carried out in the period of economic decline and economic chaos of postwar Europe of the early twentieth century. Until recently, the implementation of such an approach was perceived as a social utopia, but to understand the need for such a way of unification, the global catastrophe of World War II had to take place. Similarly, the Ukraine’s desire to join the European family six years ago could be considered as the utopia, so we can state the praxeological aspect of the philosopher’s prognostic ideas regarding the formation of a holistic social system. The unique project's possibilities of a single V.Zenkivsky's "economic orchestra" as a free cooperation of European nations on the harmonization principles of economic interests, personal origins and economic individualism are analyzed in the article. The attention is paid to the new holistic form foundation of economic life, which is close to the type of family sociality on the basis of initiative and creativity freedom. Conducting such an orchestra continues to be one of the main problems of the current complex of relations in the European Union, ranging from specific amounts of aid to less affluent EU member states to the Brexit situation in the United Kingdom.
