Abstract: During 1980s and early 1990s the administrative control of the federal government in the sphere of education lessened due to the fact that there were less regulating documents and the rights of federal bodies in the sphere of financing were limited as well. The issue of quality of education is central for the systems of professional development of all the developed states in the world. Due to this fact, there’s obvious need for mechanisms of control of quality, such as standards of education.

Abstract: National framework of the Republic of South Africa (RSA) is one of the bright examples of polysystemic (mixed) law. Historically it used to be the base of the regular law but then in the 19th century institutes of the Roman and Dutch law were implemented there. Starting from the 20th century, traditional sources of the common law have been actively used in the system of law of RSA. At the present time RSA is a brilliant example of the government which is changing from the totalitarian political system with the racist’s ideology and apartheid into the government with a liberal and democratic political system.

Abstract: The article proposes to consider the humanitarian diplomacy of Mexico during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which the author sees as one of the tools of the state's foreign policy. Within the framework of the article, humanitarian diplomacy is studied for effectiveness in resolving socio-economic and political challenges that have arisen or worsened against the background of the pandemic, such as racism, poverty, lack of equipment, vaccines and personal protective equipment, the vulnerable situation of women, the deteriorating situation of the indigenous population, and the decline in the authority of the government. To assess the effectiveness, the author proposed a formula that allows calculating as a percentage how much humanitarian diplomacy has helped to cope with challenges. The scientific novelty of the study is an attempt to assess the effectiveness of humanitarian diplomacy in the context of resolving specific internal socio-economic challenges posed to the state. As a result of the study, it was revealed that humanitarian diplomacy is an effective auxiliary tool that can contribute to solving the problems that have arisen against the background of a humanitarian crisis. Nevertheless, the author notes that a number of deep problems require a comprehensive approach of the government and the use of various tools in addition to humanitarian activities. It is noted that the assessment of effectiveness in solving social challenges is complicated by the inability to obtain results immediately after the end of the project. Thus, the author denies the universality of humanitarian diplomacy as a tool for solving socio-economic challenges.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the cultivation in younger generation of respect to folk culture as a foundation of uniqueness and self-identification of the people. An intrinsic element of folk culture, along with the folksong and folkdance, is the memory of historical events as the basis for the development of folklore. Having analyzed the events of the late XX – early XXI centuries, the conclusion is made on inadmissibility of nullification of panhuman values and separate acts as crimes against humanity. Thus, it is suggested to view the culture of preservation of historical memory as an essential element in cultivation of folk culture. The author establishes correlation between the development of cultural diversity of ethnoses, peoples, nationalities and nations populating the Russian Federation and the formation of the unified national idea of the state. The result of analysis of the events related to violation of the provisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal Verdict on recognition of Nazi collaborators as freedom fighters in separate European states, led to realization of the need to cultivate the culture of preservation of historical memory and refrain the younger generation from overrating the outcome of World War II. Emphasis is made on the need to develop culture of working with the archival data as the foundation for preservation of historical memory of the population of modern Russia.

Abstract: The article is devoted to a new sphere of global research – futuroglobal studies oriented at understanding and prediction of future global processes and system from the point of view of evolution. The authors of the article analyze mostly the two standard scenarios of global development – transfer to sustainable development and succeeding noospheregenesis. Sustainable development is described as a globally managed and systematically balanced socio-natural development that does not destroy the surrounding nature and guarantees survival and safe and long life of civilization. Noospheregenesis is viewed as a future global process of formation of socio-natural sphere of human existence where intellectual activity and information become the key factor of evolution and which is formed by implementation of humanistic principles and ideals through transfer to sustainable development.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to the problem of color perception in mass consciousness, as well as provides the results of representative sociological research on the question of selecting the preferred color by residents of one of the typical provincial cities of Russia. The author reviews the peculiarities of color selection for various socio-demographic, political, and socio-psychological groups. The acquired results are interpreted from the perspective of different methodological approaches towards the assessment of color perception: physiological and psychological. Semantic explanation of the phenomenon of color perception in the context of reasoning of Pavel Florensky is suggested. Methodology of this research is structured upon the application of general logical methods of scientific study alongside the method of interpreting the obtained data in various theories of color perception. The author attempts to illustrate that articulation of the color preferences manifests as one of the characteristics of social self-consciousness. Color palette of the preferences (triad blue-red-green) is immanently presents in any of the statistically important group of the respondents. Thus, color perception is the original element of mass consciousness that manifests as a ethno-cultural specificity of population.

Abstract:       The term of “epistemic community” is often used in the scientific literature in analyzing the work of experts and their influence upon the political processes. The subject of this research is the epistemic communities of the healthcare workers (first and foremost gynecologists) involved into the work with the victims of rape during the armed conflicts, based on the example of the German organization from Cologne (medica mondiale). The importance of this topic consists not only in the analysis of the work of the expert medical workers, but also the level of their influence on the international criminal processes that deal with sexual violence (particularly, processes in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia). Despite the fact that there is a significant amount of researches on the epistemic communities (for example,  with regards to the international environmental processes or integration within the framework of the European Union), the analysis of epistemic communities pertaining to the problem of sexual assaults as international crimes is absent. The author concludes that although the expert healthcare workers make a significant contribution into the fight of such phenomenon as sexual violations, their closer cooperation with the legal expert networks could become an important step in overcoming the impunity for commission of such crimes.       International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia

Abstract: The subject of the research is the peculiarities of functioning of innovative megaprojects in the scientific sphere of Russia. The objective is to determine the shape of the state scientific and technical policy through the establishment and support of major research projects. Special attention is paid to the problems of financing and evaluation of the effectiveness of Russian science, that emerged during the crisis of 2014. The mechanisms of state participation in such projects as Skolkovo and National research universities are critically considered. The characteristics of the special economic zones of innovation type as an important tool for encouraging innovation activity are presented. The article used such methods as scientific analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. For the analysis of data on indicators of innovative activity in science and technology the method of statistical grouping is used. In the article it is proved, that the term “megaproject” can not only be used for major investment projects, but also for science and public policy in science and technology. The criteria for the megaproject are identified and the applicability of these criteria for innovative projects in the field of science is showed. The comparative analysis of the two editions of the state program of the Russian Federation “The development of science and technology” in the 2013-2020 periods is presented for the first time. The decrease in public funding for the program, correcting its target indicators, as well as the reduced requirements to some parameters of research and innovation is identified. The special contribution of the author to the study is the description of the role of three megaprojects (Skolkovo, Innovation Zones, National research universities) in innovative development of the country. It is concluded that despite the economic difficulties, Russia is seeking to reaffirm its status as the world scientific power with a high degree of international cooperation.

Abstract: Rapid development of modern social and humanitarian studies raises a very important question n about personal qualities of a researcher as a person who presents his personal values when performing scientifi c work. The author notes that the personal culture of a researcher depends on different objective and subjective factors. Among these factors there is the relations that a scientist has with the academic community, his absorption into the subject under review and a high level of profi ciency in theoretical and methodological concepts and research methods of scientifi c activity. The author of the present article focuses on the need for preserving the person-centered nature of modern scientifi c work. Methodological ground of the research is the axiological approach. The author also encourages researches in the philosophy of science as a branch of science. Scientifi c novelty of the research is defi ned by the need for studying the phenomenon of research culture because social and humanitarian studies impose more and more requirements to scientifi c work but these requirements do not consider peculiarities of a personal identity formation of a scientist, his professional qualities and other important circumstances. The present article is devoted to evaluation of different directions of the research culture and the main conclusion made by the author is that there is a certain need for personalizing the research culture and raising personal responsibility of a researcher before scientifi c and professional communities.

Abstract: The authors discuss the problem of education for sustainable development (ESD) of Russia before the UN Decade and within its period. The authors evaluate offi cial documents of global and Russian level which are necessary for the introduction of the concept of sustainable development in the education in Russia. Special attention is paid to the perception of the idea of sustainable development and formation of education for the purposes of sustainable development in Russia, preparation of teaching and teaching-methodological manuals for environmental education within the framework of sustainable development within the system of higher education, starting with the Conference of the UN on environment and development. The authors evaluate the problem of widening the scope of sustainable development, which has to be taken into consideration within the framework of formation of the ESD, since it shall have to widen its range in the fi eld of scientifi c education. The authors employ historical and evolution approaches towards the formation of education for the sustainable development in Russia, as well as a systemic comparative approach in order to reveal the general tendencies in the global world of development of environmental education for the sustainable development. For the fi rst time the authors reveal general and specifi c features and tendencies in education development for sustainable development as a new phenomenon in the global community, and especially in Russia. I is shown that in addition to the globally accepted environmental interpretation, the Russia gained a concept of preemptive education, global education and education for sustainable development based upon the new ideas on guaranteeing security via sustainable development . It is stressed that in the future education for sustainable development should involve wider and more systemically comprehensive concept of global sustainability, which is not limited to the triad of economics, social sphere and environment.

Abstract: Humanitarian expertise of a patient is viewed from the point of view of effective interaction in the process of medical aid. Opinion survey of experts (face-to-face and online questionnaire and the secondary analysis of data) showed that medical workers believe humanitarian expertise of patients to be quite important but not always technologically possible. Humanitarian expertise of a patient is close to defi ning the scope of his social roles and includes evaluation of values, resources and potentials of cooperation between a doctor and a patient. The author of the article proves the dominating role of the patient’s social dimensions in humanitarian expertise compared to creation of a psychological portrait, for instance. The results of research can be used for planning contents of the educational curriculum at professional medical schools.

Abstract: In his article Ursul discusses the beginning and development of a new stage in noospheric researches. At this stage noospherogenesis is related to sustainable development, continued globalization, formation of a global information society and other global processes. The modern, or non-classical, stage of noospheric researches is being formed under the influence of noospheric researches of the aforesaid processes. It is underlined that even though the author of the article describes the most important factors for the development of noosphere concept, there are many other factors like that, especially intellectual and cognitive factors. Ursul offers a hypothesis that the global civilization develops as a result of globalization processes caused by sustainable development as well as the process of formation of the noospheric socio-natural interaction and creation of a universal information society which will eventually lead to creation of the first sphere of intelligence, infonoosphere, provided that the transfer to the sustainable development will happen which prolongs the period of this stage. According to the author, transition to the global sustainable development involves the observance of the principle of biosphere preservation and formation of the sphere of intelligence mostly by means of transformations of the sociosphere combined with minimum anthropological influences on the biosphere. In this regard, biosphere preservation involves implementation of the principle of co-evoluation of nature and society, i. e. their mutual preservation and development when the humankind can exist for a very long time and the biosphere can remain sustainable and evolve due to the significant reducation of anthropological influence thereon. In his research Ursul has used not only evolutionaryhistorical and futurological-prognostic but also interdisciplinary and comparative approaches. Special attention is paid at the intensive development of integrative general scientific processes and methods of knowledge generation and formation of new “cognitive clusters’ and conceptual-methodological frameworks. Ursul also focuses on different approaches to studies of the future. These approaches have been rather autonomous but now they start to have more crossing points. Human civilization has been usually studied from the point of view of the civilizational approach but lately there has appeared a new approach to studies of the future — noospheric-futurological approach. Based on the author, only the combination of all efficient approaches and research methods may create an integrated image of human future. However, in the present article Ursul focuses only on civilizational and noospheric approaches and associated researches. The author shows that the imperative transition to sustainable development is crucial for the future noospherogenesis but it also demands to extend civilizational processes to the global level because such a transition would be impossible within the limits of a local civilization or even a group of local civilizations. It becomes especially essential considering the ongoing globalization process that is aimed at creating the universal civilization. These two global processes shall become one and create the universal integrity of the civilization which will be influenced by other noospherization processes as well. From the very beginning the noospheric civilization can be only global and this is what the author of the article tries to prove to the reader using futurological and logical arguments. Noospherogenesis is viewed as the future global process of the formation of the socio-natural sphere of civilization existence where intellectual and information activities will become the most important driver of evolution.

Abstract: Realization of the tasks on modernization of the Russian healthcare system aimed at increasing the affordability and quality of the medical help rendered to the population requires new approaches towards planning, management, and financing. There is currently a problem of the insufficient financing of the healthcare system and the irrational use of the resources of this industry; it particularly refers to the outpatient-clinical activity. The solution to these problems requires the informatization of the management in this area. There is lack of scientific researches that allow assessing the affordability, quality, and effectiveness of the first medical assistance within the outpatient-clinical industry using the information technologies. In the course of this work, it is demonstrated that the level of informatization within the Russian healthcare system is quite low. The major problems that affect the quality of management in the healthcare system consists in the insufficient financing of the development of IT-technologies for healthcare, as well as in the imperfection of the legislative base of the digital healthcare and electronic document management. The author believes that in order to increase the quality of management of the outpatient-clinical activity, it is necessary to implement the analytical and decision-making modules, and conduct the monitoring of the results of informatization to eliminate the emerging issues.
