In this paper, I will focus on the musical work as a self-organising entity within a systemic framework. In particular, two significant and inter-related systemic concepts will be mentioned: self-organisation and open system. Firstly, I shall explain the two concepts within the context of systems thinking with reference to a graphical model of second-order cybernetics. This section will conclude with a discussion of the difference between natural and artificial self-organising systems. I will then extend the systemic perspective, describing what I call self-organising music, and discussing my algorithmic composition Ephemeron as a case study.

This paper aims to analyse the methods used in the existing literature on architectural history that introduce the characteristics of Chinese architecture. The investigation sought to address the research question: How might the characteristics of Chinese architecture be methodically classified and systematically organised to encourage creativity and innovation for architecture students?Following a preliminary discussion, three seminal architectural history books formed the core foundation of this study. One significant finding from the review is that no single method of categorisation can comprehensively illustrate the entire history of Chinese architecture. All systems of classification present a process and effort to balance the need for in-depth knowledge and the demand for a holistic overview. The paper proposes an ‘integrated system’ to systematise and present the subject to architecture students as a possible answer to the question posed in this study. This paper hopes to contribute to the current and ongoing local and international debate on the pedagogy of architectural history.

The paper discusses theoretical foundations for organising the work and interaction of various specialists who help children with learning difficulties (teachers, counsellors, therapists). The multidimensional model of the zone of proximal development based on cultural-historical psychology and developed in the theoretical framework of the Reflection and Activity Approach is proposed to be such a basic value. We connect different types of help to various developmental dimensions and consider them as technologies to enhancing the client’s development. We elaborate on the essence of such concepts as collaboration, zone of proximal development, agency, reflection, and problem’s epicentre. We present different ways of operational use of these concepts as applied to helping children with learning difficulties. The concept of double resource that we propose is important for developing new techniques of working within the zone of proximal development; it is this basis that certain technologies of organising the client’s reflection are relying on. We provide examples of counselling children using this approach.

Full textAbstract:
The article institutionalises a variety of approaches to comprehension, interpretation and understanding of the concepts of constructing an inclusive society (society of inclusion) with a focus on the study of everyday reality of people characterised by various restrictions on the conditions of their life (limited needs, disabilities, persons with disabilities). It is shown that the use of concepts and categories of modern philosophy allows to integrate complexes of ideas about specificity of subjective time of people with disabilities in the world of everyday life of included society with priority use of phenomenological characteristics of intersubjectivity and intensional-temporal coordination. The concept of intersubjectivity is seen in the broad context of cognitive subject's constituting other subjects as conscious objects through intensionality, using internal experience, interpretation and comprehension of person's own individual being. The aim of the article is to investigate the formation of everyday life of individuals with disabilities in the space of levels of intersubjectivity of the inclusive society. The research methodology is based on philosophical, multidisciplinary and pedagogical complexes which allow demonstrating heuristic and expressive possibilities of conceptual apparatus used at different levels of intersubjectivity as a basic characteristic of subjective time of a person with disabilities in the inclusion society. The results and conclusions are of practical importance in solving socio-cultural and philosophical problems of conceptual and methodological nature. They show the peculiarities of application of temporal concepts in the context of constructing the social field of communication and life of individuals with disabilities.

Full textAbstract:
The paper notes that sports betting has been popular since the days of Ancient Rome. Fans would place bets on their favourite player or team, and if they won, they would receive a prize. It is worth noting that not only the Romans were known for their love of gambling, it was also popular in ancient Egypt, China, Japan, and India. In many cases, gambling was regulated or banned depending on the cultural and moral values of the society. The legacy of the love of gambling can be traced even today in various types of activities. The paper provides a detailed analysis of scientific and legislative approaches to the definition of the concept of "betting activity". Based on the results obtained, the author proposes his own definition, according to which: "bookmaking activity is the activity of organising and conducting events in which a player bets on the outcome of events that are to take place and the outcome of which is difficult to predict, and the organiser of the game (bookmaker/bookmaking organisation) undertakes, in case of winning, to pay the players an amount that depends on the bet made by the player". The paper also identifies and analyses in detail the signs of bookmaking activities. The main features are as follows: 1. The purpose of the activity is to make a profit; 2. The content of the activity is the provision of services for organising and conducting betting; 3. Obligatory availability of a permit (licence) to conduct such activities; 4. Risky nature. Special attention is paid to the study of the subjective composition of legal relations. The concept and characteristics of players and organisers of betting activities are studied. As a result of the study, the author concludes that betting activity is a special type of entrepreneurial activity which has its own peculiarities, taking into account the specifics of its implementation.

Full textAbstract:
The engineering of large-scale cyber-physical systems (CPS) increasingly relies on principles from self-organisation and collective computing, enabling these systems to cooperate and adapt in dynamic environments. CPS engineering also often leverages digital twins that provide synchronised logical counterparts of physical entities. In contrast, sensor networks rely on the different but related concept of virtual device that provides an abstraction of a group of sensors. In this work, we study how such concepts can contribute to the engineering of self-organising CPSs. To that end, we analyse the concepts and devise modelling constructs, distinguishing between identity correspondence and execution relationships. Based on this analysis, we then contribute to the novel concept of “collective digital twin” (CDT) that captures the logical counterpart of a collection of physical devices. A CDT can also be “augmented” with purely virtual devices, which may be exploited to steer the self-organisation process of the CDT and its physical counterpart. We underpin the novel concept with experiments in the context of the pulverisation framework of aggregate computing, showing how augmented CDTs provide a holistic, modular, and cyber-physically integrated system view that can foster the engineering of self-organising CPSs.

Promoting the scale and spread of effective health innovations requires dedicated action from health system leaders. In order to maximise the effects of leadership strategies to promote the spread and scale of health innovations, conceptual clarity and well-defined strategies are essential. In this commentary, we propose definitions of the concepts of ‘innovation’, ‘spread’ and ‘scale’, and explain how these concepts can be used by health system leaders to generate interest, excitement and commitment for specific innovations from a broad community of stakeholders. We then outline two strategies from the community organising literature that leaders can use to promote spread and scale.

Full textAbstract:
Common difficulties in teaching introductory courses such as general psychology are breadth of content and differing student and teacher expectations. The use of psychological concepts or principles as organising factors is recommended to address these problems. Psychological principles for each content area were identified and presented to two groups of general psychology students. Course content was organised around these principles, along with class exercises and tests that fostered their application. When compared with two other groups organised by the text's field survey approach, the principles-organised groups self-reported greater abilities to apply content to everyday situations, relationships and future occupations. Students strongly recommended the use of principles in future courses as one way of addressing common difficulties in the general psychology course. The percentage of answers correct on tests of content did not differ significantly between groups, indicating a similar grasp of material from both the principles-organised sections and field survey-organised sections.

Reading selected fragments of the novel in the context of the author’s self-referential statements regarding concepts such as noise, information and word energy, makes it possible to see that the terms borrowed from cybernetics can describe the tension between the organising and disorganising properties of Witold Wirpsza’s work.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid rate of globalisation is increasingly exposing both individuals and organisations to situations of cultural heterogeneity in which they are expected to function optimally. The cultural intelligence research programme has consequently experienced increased impetus with the result that a broad array of insights now exists. Organising such information will facilitate the assimilation thereof by both business representatives and scholars. Accordingly, this review sought to situate the cultural intelligence literature in terms of the concept and definition statement elements of the general body of scientific knowledge framework. A systematic literature review followed by content analysis was performed. Concepts were crystallised through a fusion of the key words whilst the definition statements were examined to detect elements of both uniqueness and commonality. Despite a large volume of key words existing across the material, remarkably only a limited number of concepts were identified: accomplishment, culture, expatriates, experience, fit, intelligence, motivation, supervision and training. Whilst the definition statements of cultural intelligence have evolved to include, amongst others, its dimensions, the range of culture types it exists in relation to, the categories of persons that may demonstrate it and the conditions in which it could be exhibited, they mostly remain predicated upon the initial expositions.

This communication is published in two parts. The author believes that a new domain, emerging from the cybernetics and systems tradition, is defined: complexity research. The study of this subject is motivated by the complexity of problems facing present‐day society, and the availability of new concepts and technologies. A conceptual framework for analysing complexity and self‐organising processes is outlined, and the fundamentals of an appropriate methodology are sketched. It is proposed that researchers working within this domain would associate by creating a network.

In this note I would like to shine a light on topics where symmetry plays a role. Together we will explore how symmetry can be captured mathematically and how concepts involving symmetry help to understand viruses and self-organising materials, how they can be used to design better algorithms and how the classification of elementary symmetries leads to an exciting story about an unprecedented communal effort to prove a big mathematical theorem. I will give examples of open questions that still wait to be answered.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on my experience of managing a research project on domestic violence service provision to women from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, I elaborate three examples to illustrate the relevance and application of group-analytic concepts and interpretations. First, I outline some striking resonances between the research topic and process within the research team, focusing on the negotiation of similarities and differences within this team arising from its commitment to feminist antiracist work, and how tensions between these two foundational ‘group illusions’ were realized when convening support groups. The third example addresses how dilemmas around safety, secrecy, containment and entrapment came to figure within the research team process, and describes strategies to resolve these difficulties. The paper ends by reviewing the relative compatibility between group analysis and other frameworks for the analysis of, and intervention within, social change projects.

PurposeThe aim of this paper was to review the knowledge and practice‐related literature, as well as to develop a theoretical framework that functions like a sorting device, in order to improve our understanding about how theories are turned into practice.Design/methodology/approachThis is a theoretical paper that discusses the relationships between practice and knowledge using practice‐based lenses.FindingsThis paper discusses the relationships between diverse forms of knowledge and practice, and it elaborates the cognitive mechanisms used to know how to shift from the inside to the outside view, and vice versa.Research limitations/implicationsBy organising a wide range of knowledge‐ and practice‐related concepts into meaningful categories, this paper contributes to overcoming the use of the concepts of knowledge and practice as universal.Practical implicationsBy recognising the implicit epistemological stance associated with the diverse theories and concepts, the framework may be useful in selecting the most suitable practice concepts and theories for specific situations, especially since they are not universal and are usually developed with different purposes.Originality/valueThe proposed framework contributes to improve our understanding about how theories are turned into practice.

In the Polish People’s Republic (1944–1989), a number of organisational and ideological changes were made in the social welfare sector: most of the ways of organising help that were tested during the interwar period were replaced with new concepts, often with sad consequences for those in need. This article presents the changes that took place in the Polish social security sector in the decades after World War II. Subsequent attempts to reform the social welfare system have been shown with the use of archival materials, other historical sources and literature on the subject.

The study examines a potential for developing a concept-based dictionary of English geological terminology focusing on domain knowledge and semantic features. The results indicate that thematic structuring around domain concepts signifi cantly enhances the representation of geological knowledge. By utilising English academic and educational corpora, the methodology incorporated cognitive linguistic theory, ontological principles, and advanced text corpus analysis. It was determined that organising terms hierarchically according to domain concepts improves the accuracy of knowledge representation. The study evaluated the impact of concept-based structuring on eff ective knowledge transmission, demonstrating its capacity to facilitate better communication among experts and novices. The proposed dictionary structure highlights the importance of precise and systemic organisation in capturing complex semantic relationships. Key words: cognitive linguistics, concept-based dictionary, domain knowledge, English geological terminology, ontological structure.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues that in order to engage sociologically with the future the discipline needs to rediscover its historical imagination. It makes three main points. First is the idea that sociology needs to be more historical and to illustrate how this has been done well before. Second, it explores ideas, concepts and theories used in thinking about the past, which are in turn useful in organising how we imagine the future – in particular nostalgia, and especially that surrounding industry. Finally, it offers ways of thinking about the sociologically mediated relationship between past, present and future through the burgeoning field of deindustrialisation studies.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The Informed Health Choices (IHC) Key Concepts are standards for judgement, or principles for evaluating the trustworthiness of treatment claims and treatment comparisons (evidence) used to support claims, and for making treatment choices. The list of concepts provides a framework, or starting point, for teachers, journalists and other intermediaries for identifying and developing resources (such as longer explanations, examples, games and interactive applications) to help people to understand and apply the concepts. The first version of the list was published in 2015 and has been updated yearly since then. We report here the changes that have been made from when the list was first published up to the current (2018) version.Methods: We developed the IHC Key Concepts by searching the literature and checklists written for the public, journalists, and health professionals; and by considering concepts related to assessing the certainty of evidence about the effects of treatments. We have revised the Key Concepts yearly, based on feedback and suggestions; and learning from using the IHC Key Concepts, other relevant frameworks, and adaptation of the IHC Key Concepts to other types of interventions besides treatments.Results: We have made many changes since the Key Concepts were first published in 2015. There are now 44 Key Concepts compared to the original 32; the concepts have been reorganised from six to three groups; we have added higher-level concepts in each of those groups; we have added short titles; and we have made changes to many of the concepts.Conclusions: The IHC Key Concepts have proven useful in designing learning resources, evaluating them, and organising them. We will continue to revise the IHC Key Concepts in response to feedback. We welcome suggestions for how to do this.

This article briefly discusses various definitions and concepts of the so-called information society. The term information society has been proposed to refer to the post-industrial society in which information plays a pivotal role. The definitions that have been proposed over the years highlight five underlying characterisations of an information society: technological, economic, sociological, spatial, and cultural. This article discusses those characteristics. While the emergence of an information society may be just a figment of one’s imagination, the concept could be a good organising principle to describe and analyse the changes of the past 50 years and of the future in the 21st century.

The increasing importance of innovation for companies, mergers and acquisitions, and the strengthening of project structures are leading to numerous rationalisations in the organisation of the research function. Although few works have analysed company R&D organisation and its impact on innovation performance, we elaborate on the concepts of economy of scope and absorptive capacity, introduced to compare the efficiency of various firms' R&D, so as to analyse the organisation of R&D departments. We focus on inter-project learning and argue that it must be viewed as an organisational question. "Organising by problem" constitutes a new means of cross-project learning and of enhancing absorptive capacity.

Many claims about the effects of treatments, though well intentioned, are wrong. Indeed, they are sometimes deliberately misleading to serve interests other than the well-being of patients and the public. People need to know how to spot unreliable treatment claims so that they can protect themselves and others from harm. The ability to assess the trustworthiness of treatment claims is often lacking. Acquiring this ability depends on being familiar with, and correctly applying, some key concepts, for example, that’ association is not the same as causation.’ The Informed Health Choices (IHC) Project has identified 36 such concepts and shown that people can be taught to use them in decision making. A randomised trial in Uganda, for example, showed that primary school children with poor reading skills could be taught to apply 12 of the IHC Key Concepts. The list of IHC Key Concepts has proven to be effective in providing a framework for developing and evaluating IHC resources to help children to think critically about treatment claims. The list also provides a framework for retrieving, coding and organising other teaching and learning materials for learners of any age. It should help teachers, researchers, clinicians, and patients to structure critical thinking about the trustworthiness of claims about treatment effects.

The article identifies and characterizes the main stages of the organization of educational activities with migrant children in the French Republic during the period under study - the 70s of the twentieth century - the 20s of the twenty-first century. Given the changes in the regulatory and legal documentation (laws on education, directives, circulars of the Ministry of National Education of France, documents of international European organizations), which led to a revision of the purpose, tasks, content, principles, forms, and methods of organizing educational activities with migrant children in France, two stages of organizing this activity in the 70s of the twentieth century - 20s of the twenty-first century are scientifically substantiated: Stage I (70s - 90s of the twentieth century) - the stage of launching the development of issues of organizing educational activities with migrant children in France; Stage II (early 20s of the twenty-first century) - the stage of improving the organization of educational activities with migrant children in France. It has been found that the first stage (the 70s - 90s of the twentieth century) - the stage of launching the development of issues of organizing educational activities with migrant children in France - was characterized by the adoption of a number of legislative acts aimed at organizing educational activities with children from migrant families; defining the essence of the leading concepts; clearly defining the purpose and objectives of organizing this activity; formulating the leading principles of organizing educational activities with migrant children and the main directions of teachers' activities; outlining the principles of the It is proved that the second stage (the early 20s of the XXI century) - the stage of improving the organization of educational activities with migrant children in France - was characterized by further adoption of important legislative acts, expansion of the tasks of organizing this activity; enrichment of the content and activities of schools with migrant families; expansion of the principles of organization of the French education system; introduction of new forms of organization of educational activities; widespread use of project activities; organization of psychological support for migrant children. The article also describes the content, forms, and methods of teacher training for the organization of educational activities with migrant children during the study period.

Full textAbstract:
This paper argues that that much published tourism and hospitality research has had little influence on tourism or hospitality practice especially with regard to the problems of sustainability because of a failure to use systems thinking to guide research questions and approaches. This critical review and conceptual paper demonstrates how a systems thinking approach could be used to improve both the relevance of, and theoretical development in, tourism and hospitality research in the area of sustainability. This paper reviewed recent published research into tourism’s social impacts to demonstrate the power of taking a systems approach to map out the research problem area. It then critically reviewed the use of concepts from psychology in published research into guest engagement in sustainability programs in hospitality businesses to demonstrate the value of systems thinking for organising theoretical concepts. In both of the reviewed areas the overwhelming conclusion was that the majority of the research lacked both practical relevance and was based on inappropriate or deficient theoretical understanding.

Full textAbstract:
An important aspect of preparing pre-service teachers is to develop their understanding of what constitutes meaningful learning in the study of Geography. This understanding is necessary for prospective and practising Social Science and Geography teachers to interpret existing and changing curricula as thinking professionals. This paper argues that there are several organising concepts that make classroom learning geographical in nature. These are place, spatial distribution, spatial processes, and human-environment interactions. The paper draws on the nature of geographical enquiry to consider what questions could steer classroom learning. This set of questions is then used as a lens to reflect on the way in which the current national curriculum (namely, CAPS) supports (and sometimes constrains) learners’ development of geographical thinking. To teach Geography effectively, Social Science teachers need to identify the central concepts they foreground in their lessons, as well as how to develop geographical thinking around those concepts. I suggest that teachers need to regard themselves first as subject experts, and then as interpreters of curricula, in order to be able to interpret the geographical nature of the content to be taught.

To bring concepts and knowledge to bear more effectively on policy analysis and programme design, a framework for analysis is needed that focuses on alternatives for organising and financing the State Owned Enterprises (SOEs). Whether the motivating force behind organisation of SOEs is political or economic, a developing country situation demands that the strategy be looked at from the perspective of the provision of the people’s needs. The paper looks at the forms of SOEs and the relevance of fiscal federalism in this context. Past experience has some lessons and a flawed policy can have unwelcome consequences. Keeping in view the different initial conditions, strategies need to be devised for organisation of SOEs.

Forsøgsscenen (The Experimental Stage, 1929-31) is examined as a historically early example of community-organising artistic practice. By analysing Forsøgsscenen based on cultural objects such as their production of a little magazine, their distribution policy and their infrastructural performance, the scholarly inquiry is shifted from the reception of the artwork in theatre history, towards approaching a materialist understanding of Forsøgsscenen's production aesthetic contribution in avant-garde history. Historiographically, a comparativist perspective is employed, which finds kinship both between collective organisations in the 1930s and kinship with contemporary concepts of self-institutionalisation as counterculture: redistributive, political and institution-forming practices that unfold as a response to the common art institutions in late capitalism.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To date no studies have investigated the personality functioning underlying patients diagnosed with polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) using the performance-based Rorschach test.Methods: We scored and interpreted the Rorschach protocols of eight carefully diagnosed PLOSL patients according to Exner's Comprehensive System. The structural variables in the Rorschach are organised around the seven dimensions of personality functioning that they assess: coping style and resources, organising information, perceiving events, forming concepts and ideas, handling of emotions, self-perception and interpersonal perception.Results: As a group PLOSL patients had many personality liabilities when contrasted with typical avoidant non-patient adults. A majority of patients showed an avoidant coping style (Lambda > 0.99), low productivity and poor verbal output in the low number of responses and few Blends. Also, they showed limited available resources to cope with problem-solving test. Problems in organising information efficiently, and perceiving events realistically as well as signs of disturbed thinking and concept formation were observed in many patients. Handling of emotions was characterised by avoidance of emotional stimuli but at the same time poor affect modulation. Capacities to view themselves and others were thoroughly limited.Conclusions: PLOSL tends to have repercussions throughout the personality functioning. In line with clinical findings and later neuroradiological and neuropathological examinations the Rorschach revealed personality features typical for frontal type of dementia.

Full textAbstract:
The axiomatic design plays a critical role in transferring FRs into DPs and organising scattered design information. Nowadays, the axiomatic design is commonly applied to student engineering design education. Although it assists design organisation, some procedures can be challenging for invoice students. This paper is written to reflect benefits, challenges and potential mistakes when the axiomatic design is applied by invoice students. The reflection is based on a case study, a student lead battery thermal controller (BTC) on a high-altitude balloon is used as the example. Relevant background about the high-altitude balloon was introduced at first. Previous essential information of customer domain and functional domain was clarified before the axiomatic design. Design parameters(DPs) were generated with Morphological Chart to compose candidate concepts. FR-DP matrix was used to evaluate the independence of functional requirements(FRs). Candidate concepts were then selected by probability density function graphs. The most proper concept then was out of Pugh’s Matrix. Through this axiomatic design application, benefits, challenges and potential mistakes were reflected for invoice students. Benefits included convenient errors correction and competent concepts generation. Challenges contain the DPs performance value determination and physical integration of concept. Potential mistakes include generation of inconsistent performance value for bottom-level FRs and invalid DPs.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present paper is to explore the value of general pedagogy practice in educating pre-service teachers of English. In the first part of the paper, the discussion begins with a brief overview of some key concepts related to the teaching profession, teacher education and teaching practice. The major functions of teaching practice, with specific focus on general pedagogy practice, are examined in the light of the Regulation by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 17 January 2012 on Educational Standards in Preparation for the Teaching Profession (2012). Furthermore, selected models and concepts of organising teaching practice at different Polish teacher training institutions are outlined. The second part of the paper is devoted to presenting an organisational framework of the general pedagogy practice at the Institute of English and American Studies, Gdańsk University. A proposal of a series of teaching practice tasks is put forward along with suggested content of the portfolio documenting trainees’ field experience. The paper closes with some recommendations for improving the quality of the university practicum programmes.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Scholars have recently begun advocating for the application of social movement theory in the analysis of the rise and development of fascist political entities. While representing a welcome effort to increase the theoretical depth in the analysis of fascism, the approach remains hampered by conceptual deficiencies. The author addresses some of these by the help of a critical discussion that problematises the often incoherent ways in which the concept of ‘movement’ is used when describing fascist political activity both within and across national borders. The analysis then turns to the application of social movement theory to the historical example of the Ustašas. While recent research on social movements has begun to explore the role and character of transnationalism, this case study analysis suggests that the lack of supra-national organisations during the period of ‘classic’ fascism prevented the emergence of a ‘transnational public space’ where fascist movements could have participated. The conclusion is that rather than acting and organising on a ‘transnational’ level, fascist entities appear to have limited themselves to state-based international ‘knowledge-transfer’ of a traditional type.

Full textAbstract:
This paper views life as a developmental process, embedded in a multilevel context. It addresses a number of theoretical, modelling and measurement issues at a relatively abstract level, integrating insights from different disciplines that study developmental processes. At the theoretical level, the usefulness of the life course as an organising principle is discussed. At the analytical level, the main building blocks of the life course are identified, with the life event being the unit of analysis. Each life event has three core aspects: the time at occurrence, the likelihood of occurrence (risk of experiencing the event), and the reason for occurrence. Notions of time, risk, exposure, uncertainty, and interaction are discussed. These basic concepts neatly connect life course theory and life history models.

Full textAbstract:
Five women university students' representations of their learning were analysed and related to their on-going adaptations to course demands. Representations involved their goals, working plans and perceptions of difficulties. Qualitative data from students' accounts of their study in three interviews over five weeks were tabulated schematically in relation to Duncker's concepts of productive heuristics. Representations and performances were different for three high and two low achievers. Higher achievers had course-appropriate emphases of integrating and organising content for themselves, and applying it to teaching practice. Lower achievers persisted with self-oriented problems and inappropriate strategies. A case is made for the usefulness of qualitative and micro-analytic analyses of students' perceptions and activities for explaining the adaptations behind individual differences in study performance.

The subject of values is a key, even fundamental issue for the social sciences, especially the practically oriented ones – consequently, also for social pedagogy. They (values) can be identified best by analysing the subject-matter of social pedagogy, which is always dissected in the basic source scheme of this field, i.e., the one that deals with the relationship between the human/individual and the environment. It is in connection with this relationship that the theories and concepts of this pedagogy are developed and practical solutions are adopted for organising the human living environment. The analysis of the accepted interpretations of this relationship by different authors and Polish social educators that has been presented in this paper shows existing regularities in this regard.

Full textAbstract:
Testamentary freedom – the freedom to determine the distribution of our assets after we die – is often described as the bedrock or organising principle of succession law. In fact, for many people testamentary freedom is something we have always had, should continue to have, and is therefore both self-evident and untouchable. This emphasis on testamentary freedom and, simultaneously, testator intent, has had significant consequences for how we have come to perceive not just restrictions on this freedom, but also the rationale underpinning various areas of succession law, including intestate succession, as well as the functions of succession law. The aim of this article is to challenge testamentary freedom as the organising principle of succession law. It does so by bringing into sharper focus another important value of succession law: ‘responsibility’. The article argues in favour of a responsible exercise of testamentary power – an exercise that reflects the relationships that testators leave behind. By exploring the concept of testamentary freedom from a historical, comparative and contextual perspective, the article thus aims: i) to deconstruct the prevailing narrative of the concept of testamentary freedom and to show not only its contingency, but also that testamentary freedom and responsibility are not mutually exclusive concepts; and, ii) to illustrate that shifting our attention to, and acknowledging responsibility as a core value, opens up new and different ways of understanding and theorising succession law and its underpinning rationales and justifications.

Full textAbstract:
In Beckett's later drama there is a growing abundance of mathematical patterns and structures which begin to dominate both the content and form of his plays. In my article I try to define and analyse this ‘mathematical aesthetic’ in relation to other discourses of Beckett's ‘theatrical machine’. The first part contains a vector analysis of Beckett's theatrical sketches and the script for Quad. Combined with Deleuze and Guattari's theory of the rhizome and performance theory, it sheds some light on the implication of organising performance through a ‘mathematical aesthetic’. In the second part of my article I extend my analysis to elaborate on some of the concepts and issues suggested by this work and point out some of the cultural, ethical and political issues with progressive mathematical systematization and simulation of performance in western society.

Full textAbstract:
'Social efficiency' constituted the organising motif of sociology in Australia at the begin ning of this century. This essay argues that the sociological promotion of social efficien cy can only be accounted for as an intervention into, and apprehension of, a distinctive moment in the transformation of the social relations of labour (i.e. the socialisation of labour) and the organisation of money (specifically credit), with particular regard for the division and extension of work time conceived as a social matter. This has ramifications for our understandings of knowledge and ideology, state formation and class compo sition, credit and social planning, subjection and institution, law and violence. It is also illustrative of the need to thoroughly historicise such concepts, including a reconsider ation of the presumption of state, economy and society as distinct fields.

This research aims to explore how public administration contributes to safeguarding national security through policy formulation and implementation. It seeks to construct theoretical frameworks and provide actionable suggestions for addressing emerging risks, threats, and vulnerabilities to national security. It is particularly relevant in contemporary events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, instability, and external pressures. The research uses a variety of methodologies, including economic analysis, systems analysis, specialised professional methods, scientific abstraction, comparison, synthesis, and statistical techniques such as correlation and regression analysis, as well as multivariate cluster analysis and the K-means method. Additionally, it employs various techniques for organising, presenting, and generalising data, such as tabular and graphical representation. Russian actions have worsened security challenges in Europe and emerging markets, hindering public administrations' ability to maintain national security. The Fragile State Index for Ukraine hit a critical juncture in 2023, highlighting the imperative to confront these threats promptly. The evolving landscape of national security, marked by heightened instability and external pressures, demands a thorough reconsideration concerning functioning public administration safeguarding national interests. Empirical data underscores the pressing necessity to confront these challenges through deliberate strategic planning and efficient operational frameworks. It underscores the significance of collaborative efforts and coordinated responses among nations confronting analogous threats to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity amidst a dynamically shifting geopolitical milieu.

Full textAbstract:
The present work aims to study the specificity of applying sociological methods in organising coastal areas. In the autumn of 2020, in the framework of this work, a sociological study of urban space per-ception by its inhabitants was carried out. The object of research comprises the territory of the Top Embankment of the Angara River in Irkutsk (Lisikha district) as an element of the urban environment, where groups and communities of Irkutsk citizens cohabit, having different visions of the same territo-ry. Data acquisition was carried out using a questionnaire. People permanently residing on the territory of Irkutsk were selected as respondents. The survey showed that the state of the recreational space at the Top Embankment area of Irkutsk – the least developed part of the Angara river embankment – is low rated by residents. As a basic concept of territory development, citizens prefer a stepwise space transformation that includes zones for pedestrians and cyclists. Furthermore, landscape gardening, building sport zones and facilities increasing the recognition of the territory attract district residents. Thus, the study allowed the citizen preferences to be identified to design a reconstruction project of the Top Embankment territory at the Angara river in the Lisikha district of Irkutsk. Urban design that considers the opinion of citizens is a modern trend, which meets the challenges of the time and re-flects the concepts and principles of urban planning nowadays.

Full textAbstract:
Language learning based on a linguoculturological approach enables national cultural phenomena interpretation through studying units of the national language. Such work promotes the formation and development of culturological and linguoculturological competencies of students. Within the framework of the competence-based approach to teaching relevant in modern pedagogy, these competencies are crucially important in secondary and higher education. In this regard, the humanities (above all else, Russian Language and Literature) are of particular importance. Literature lessons enable teachers to apply traditional and new methods, use a variety of culturally marked didactic materials. One such effective method employed to organise the educational and research activity of students is designing a linguoculturological project. Providing the example of the lexemes apple tree (yablonya) and apple (yabloko), the article aims to outline the specificity of lexical analysis from a linguoculturological perspective when developing a linguoculturological project. The project on the topic ‘Apple tree and apple in the Russian language, Russian culture, and the linguistic consciousness of modern youth’ includes 13 so-called ‘pages’. Linguoculturological analysis of empirical material was the principal research method employed. Additionally, the investigation used structural-semantic, functional-stylistic, descriptive, comparative, statistical methods as well as the survey technique. The developed linguoculturological project proves the importance of the concepts denoted by the words apple tree (yablonya) and apple (yabloko) for native Russian speakers and national culture at both the linguistic and culturological levels.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to get the reader acquainted with the history of the inclusive theatre movement in Russia and abroad, as well as to discuss its challenges and perspectives in the context of social inclusion. The authors make an attempt to elaborate an inclusive theatre model, focusing on the system of concepts of the cultural-historical scientific school. The model is based on L.S. Vygotsky’s idea that every physical impairment reveals itself as a social “abnormality” of behaviour, which means that its overcoming can occur in a situation of organised social interaction. The authors argue that this kind of interaction can be created in the situation of inclusive theatrical activity, where “conflicts and collisions” are intentionally modeled, and where “pereghivanie” and reflection are regarded as the key mechanisms of organising the process of joint action.
