European Civil Society or Civil Society of the European Countries?
Authors: Kanunnikov A A
Published: September 2019

This article is devoted to the study of civil society in the European Union. It shows the existence of two terms - “European civil society” and “civil society in Europe”. There is a vagueness of the term “European civil society” because it does not disclose the principle of belonging to a “European civil society” - a socio-cultural or geographical. There is a doubt about the possibility of the application of the civil society concept developed to describe the realities at the level of the nation-state, to the description of the phenomenon at a transnational level, for example, in the case of the European Union. The article shows three periods of civil society participation in the European integration process. The article concludes that is premature to consider the European civil society as an autonomous social sphere, opposing the state.

Constructing Political Space in the Tsar Residences of the 17th Century: an Essay on Its Theoretical Analysis
Authors: Topychkanov A V
Published: September 2019

The transition to Modernity was characterized by the emergence and development of the culture of sovereigns’ residences. The constructivist approach to the study of the political space of the tsar country residences of the 17th century allow to establish that the sovereign was interested 1) in a hierarchic representation of all social groups, 2) in totalizing a hierarchical structure, underlining its coherence, unity and integrity, 3) that only tsar was endowed by political subjectivity. The success of the construction of political space was depended not only by the use of legal, social, spatial and other ways of organizing interaction, but also by the formation of political space (in the absence of the sovereign) that simulates a real political space and specifies all the positions within the hierarchical structure, including the tsar.

The article discusses the features of the formation of the institute of youth political elite in the Russian Federation. The author proved that the formation of youth political elites directly dependent on the fulfillment of opportunities and professional development of representatives of the youth community and requires a systematic campaign in the formation of the young man and his political socialization. Revealed aspects in the context of which it is necessary to consider the formation of the institute of youth political elite: the socio-economic, political, cognitive. Proposed key methods and forms of interaction between state institutions with the younger generation. The conditions, the implementation of which is necessary for the formation of the institute of youth political elites in Russia: the current administrative and managerial elite has to be aware of the need to create such an elite institution for young people; the existence of regulatory and organizational methods of the activities of youth leaders; a reflection of the youth leader action together communicative interactions; subject-object position of the individual in the current political process of socialization; foster civic political culture, "foundation" which are the concepts of citizenship and patriotism. In conclusion, it is concluded that the development of the political system of education and the building of the Institute of Youth elites should be based on scientific and sociological studies of actual data, reflecting the dynamics of the youth mentality and preferences. A special attention on the part of government actors should be given new urgency to inclusion of young people in the processes of formation of state policy.
Peculiarities of the Political Culture of Citizens in the Middle and Big Cities of Russia (the Republic of Bashkortostan’s Case)
Authors: Mihailichenko D G , Sobolev E V
Published: September 2019

The article focuses on peculiarities of the political culture of habitants of middle and big cities in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Economic distinctions of the region, its multyethnicity and religious diversity allows to apply conclusions on the state as a whole. Based on sociological data and historical analysis the authors revealed the genesis of the subjective type of political culture in the middle and big cities of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The authors also examine such peculiarities of the culture of townsmen as low protest potential, political indifference, alienating type of behavior, absence of critical attitude to information. The authors analyze the principal problems that city’s habitants faced in the conditions of economic and political transformation and how the subjective type of culture impedes to resolve these problems in a positive way. Such problems of the cities are pointed out as deindustrialization, depopulation, the ageing of the population and decline in living standards. Despite the worsening economic and social situation of residents of the big and average cities of Bashkortostan, growth of protest moods among them it is not observed, and most of citizens as show data of sociological polls, keep loyalty to the government at the regional and federal level. The authors' point of view is that the type of the political culture of the habitants causes the loyalty. In the conclusion, the authors show the perspective of the cities, the contradiction in state policy that initiates the civic engagement on the one hand but demands on the political loyalty on the other hand.
Research Model of the Concept “Reputation of the Regional Power”
Authors: Rozanova N N
Published: September 2019

Reforming of the Russian system of public administration is connected with orientation to reapprochement of authorities and the population. Activities for forming of positive reputation of authorities, institute of public service become priority for the goal of achievement of creation of an effective management system by society, successful implementation of a state policy. Studying of reputation allows deepening understanding of regularities of the political choice, forming of trust and mistrust to subjects of power, efficiency evaluation of the power and its reliability. The problem of reputation of the power acquires special relevance at the regional level where there is the closest interrelation of state bodies with the population. The author's approach to studying of reputation of the power at the level of the region is introduced in the article. The author analyzes the concept and research model of the ideological and semantic concept “reputation of the regional power” which is the most important element of creation of reputation management system. Characteristic features of the concept are determined by its structural components: information, figurative, interpretative. The following stages of research model of the concept “reputation of the regional power” are divided in the article: studying of reputation of the regional power from the perspective of the two main subjects of its forming (the population and the power) according to the three components of the concept; identification of unity in understanding of the concept “reputation of the regional power”.
Education in digital society: A regional aspect
Authors: Patsiorkovskiy V. V. , Kruhmaleva O. V.
Published: September 2019

The article considers the features of the spatial distribution of educational and scientific organizations in Russia as an important component of digital society. Based on the extensive sociological and statistical data, the article explains the need to revise the existing approach to the organizational structure of the higher education system taking into account the “5-100” projects and the creation of supporting and federal universities aimed at strengthening the system of higher professional education in the regions. The authors analyze national programs, in particular the national projects “Education” and “Science”, in terms of the new approaches to their territorial organization. The article aims at analyzing the regional accessibility of the main levels of education, and defines as its indicator the educational services of all levels provided in the region. The article is based on the hypothesis that an increase in the spatial accessibility of basic levels of education makes an important contribution to sustainability and accelerates social development. The authors note that all adopted programs and relatively new structural elements of higher education imply an increase in budgetary funding. Given the size of this funding, the gap between regional systems grows and the inclusion of new participants (universities) in the circle of the strongest educational institutions becomes more problematic. Meanwhile, it is the system of higher education and related scientific organizations that is one of the main drivers of the regional development, which determines its human potential and place in the country’s economy.
Job search by the graduates of Moscow universities: Motivation and claims
Authors: Yudina T. N. , Mazaev Yu. N. , Kirillov A. V.
Published: September 2019

The article presents the results of the sociological research conducted in the framework of the Federal project “Personnel Potential”, which aimed at assessing the factors and conditions of employment of the graduates of Moscow universities. The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that every year, after graduation from higher educational institutions, the labor market has too much of the supply of highly skilled labor usually without work experience. The study of motivation that determines the search and choice of jobs by contemporary graduates, of their claims to the content and payment of their work, of their readiness for professional mobility can help to take necessary measures to reduce this problem. The article is based on the data of the research focused on girls who study or have recently graduated from Moscow universities. The results of the survey show that the choice of place of work is determined by a set of subjective and objective factors: future wages, career opportunities, prospects for professional and personal growth, and stability of the company. The authors identified three groups of factors that play a major, secondary and minor role in the girls’ choice of place to work. Salary is the leading motive of employment: the claims for high payment are typical for students and young professionals in the fields of natural sciences, information-mathematical and technical sciences, to a lesser extent - for representatives of humanities, culture and art. The empirical data proved the hypothesis that students of all educational profiles are ready to achieve financial well-being through labor migration.
Social-economic well-being and social tension in the Volga Region
Authors: Zaitsev D. V. , Surkova I. Yu. , Selivanova Yu. V.
Published: September 2019

The article presents the results of the regional sociological study of the parameters of the social-economic well-being in the Volga Region. The well-being category consists of social satisfaction, trust, tension and security. Social well-being reflects the efficiency of the social system, its quality, the authorities’ competence in the development of social-economic processes and of a socially sensitive (accessible, comfortable) social environment. The study identified connections between social-economic well-being and employment, financial situation and the dynamics of migration; and empirically proved the low likelihood of ethnic or religious conflicts in the region, the high level of social well-being as mentioned by the younger generations and the average one among other age groups. The level of ethnic and confessional tension is influenced by the age of the respondents: a third of the younger generations and of the working age are more concerned with the criminal situation and with conflicts on national and religious grounds than pensioners. The able-bodied population of the Volga Region is concerned about their professional well-being due to perceiving migrants as competitors: in some cases, an increase in the share of migrants contributes to conflicts in the interethnic interaction. With an increase in the educational level the degree of social trust increases, which is a positive factor for the tolerant attitude towards others. In general, there are no reasons for concerns about ethnic conflicts in the region. The multi-ethnicity of the Russian society explains the relatively high tolerance to migrants despite many risk factors.
An essay on neoliberalism
Authors: Shabaga A. V.
Published: September 2019

A comparison of liberalism and neoliberalism shows that conceptual contradictions of liberal ideas arise in the liberal hypostatization of various forms of social being. Therefore, the political liberalism will contradict the cultural one, and the legal liberalism will contradict the economic one. However, there are no fundamental differences between liberalism and neoliberalism: both are based on the same values and differ only in the sphere of their application. Liberalism, as a political practice, is intended mainly for the domestic use, while neoliberalism rather for the external use. In other words, neoliberalism, being an integral part of liberalism, presents the foreign-policy dimension of liberal concepts. Foreign policy is inherently aggressive: a number of French revolutionary governments should be recognized as the earliest forerunners of modern neoliberals. For instance, the foreign policy of the Convent clearly outgrew the liberal ideas of the Enlightenment and was aimed at enforcing liberalization on the European scale. The essence of liberalism is manifested in ousting the previous, partly traditional social, political and economic practices and in replacing them with the unified ones that should become the norm for the humankind. Neoliberals prefer to push their influence through the institutional pressure by using international non-governmental organizations, transnational companies, and the associated leaders of a number of countries of different levels of development. These organizations recruit personnel for management all around the world and constantly shuffle them, move from one country to another to create a new management culture intended for the neoliberal model of the global scale. The goal of neoliberals is almost the same as the goals of liberals (one can argue only about the means) and presents their foreign-policy version: neoliberals aim at reformatting the social space on the global scale by the abolition of the old states and introduction of a new social-political system, which is obviously manifested in the European Union, where the former states are gradually replaced by the regions, and the social policy aims at developing a new-European identity.
TRILHA DE SANGUE - DIREITOS HUMANOS E A ABOLIÇÃO DA PENA DE MORTE
Authors: Moraes Thiago Perez Bernardes de
Published: September 2019

Como resposta direta as atrocidades incorridas durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial o direito internacional absorveu uma série de restrições contra a pena de morte, seja exigindo sua abolição ou estabelecendo limites para sua aplicação. O movimento de abolição da pena de morte ganha musculatura concomitante com a capilarização da democracia pelo mundo, sendo que a década de 1990 pode ser considerada o grande ápice deste processo.  Nesse ponto o objetivo deste trabalho é ilustrar a evolução da pena de morte enquanto instrumento de pressão política e de punição criminal e a posterior evolução de instrumentos humanos que visam não só colocar limites à aplicação da pena capital, mas também almejam a abolição da mesma.

Published: September 2019

O artigo analisa as questões espaciais da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) capazes de influenciar a taxa de mortalidade infantil nos municípios brasileiros entre 1998 e 2012. Utiliza como metodologia o modelo de dados em painel espacial. O trabalho inova ao considerar o espraiamento da cobertura da equipe saúde da família para os municípios vizinhos. Como resultado, observa a presença dos efeitos do tipo feedback, em que os efeitos diretos da ESF passam para os vizinhos e retornam, e o espraiamento da razão de cobertura dos vizinhos na redução da mortalidade infantil. Conclui-se que um aumento da ESF em um município reduz a taxa de mortalidade infantil nos vizinhos.

O USO DA HISTÓRIA ORAL NO PROCESSO DE ESCUTA ÀS MULHERES, MÃES DE ALUNOS COM DEFICIÊNCIA: “PODE A MULHER SUBALTERNA FALAR? ”
Authors: Delfino dos Santos Caroline , Pinheiro Lima Jacqueline deCassia , De Oliveira Rosane Cristina
Published: September 2019

O presente artigo analisa o conceito de subalternidade à luz das contribuições de Spivak (2010). Objetivamos identifcar traços de subal-ternização no diálogo entre a escola e as mães de crianças com defciência, na medida que a primeira intenta falar dos sujeitos e não com os mesmos ou seus responsáveis, representados na maioria das vezes pelas mães. O estu-do em questão apontou-nos que, apesar da escola ser um espaço regido por mulheres segue reproduzindo marcas históricas de silenciamento das vozes femininas. Nesse contexto, a história oral contribui para elucidação das ex-periências de tais mulheres no processo de acompanhamento do cotidia-no dos flhos com defciência e os conhecimentos advindos de suas táticas.

ENSAYAR CATEGORÍAS SOBRE GÉNERO Y SALUD: UN DESAFÍO NECESARIO
Authors: Da Costa Marques Sofía Beatriz , Florencia Linardelli María
Published: September 2019

El campo del género y la salud es altamente heterogéneo y contiene una multiplicidad de preguntas, enfoques y problemáticas. A través de una revisión y análisis documental, el presente artículo presenta dos cuestiones centrales. Por un lado, la difcultad para agrupar investigaciones altamente diversas, contextos de producción de conocimiento muy desiguales y producciones movilizadas por pro-blemáticas diferentes, con el consiguiente riesgo de presentar una falsa homoge-neidad o de invisibilizar tensiones, confictos y diferencias. Por otro, la potencia y el largo camino recorrido por investigadoras interesadas en la salud de las mujeres, las desigualdades sexo-genéricas, el control de los cuerpos femeninos/feminizados.
Distance transform and template matching based methods for localization of barcodes and QR codes
Authors: Katona Melinda , Bodnár Péter , Nyúl László
Published: September 2019

Visual codes play an important role in automatic identification, which became an inseparable part of industrial processes. Thanks to the revolution of smartphones and telecommunication, it also becomes more and more popular in everyday life, containing embedded web addresses or other small informative texts. While barcode reading is straightforward in images having optimal parameters (focus, illumination, code orientation, and position), localization of code regions is still challenging in many scenarios. Every setup has its own characteristics, therefore many approaches are justifiable. Industrial applications are likely to have more fixed parameters like illumination, camera type and code size, and processing speed and accuracy are the most important requirements. In everyday use, like with smartphone cameras, a wide variety of code types, sizes, noise levels and blurring can be observed, but the processing speed is often not crucial, and the image acquisition process can be repeated in order for successful detection. In this paper, we address this problem with two novel methods for localization of 1D barcodes based on template matching and distance transformation, and a third method to detect QR codes. Our proposed approaches can simultaneously localize several different types of codes. We compare the effectiveness of the proposed methods with several approaches from the literature using public databases and a large set of synthetic images as a benchmark. The evaluation shows that the proposed methods are efficient, having 84.3% Jaccard accuracy, superior to other approaches. One of the presented approaches is an improvement on our previous work. Our template matching based method is computationally more complex, however, it can be adapted to specific code types providing high accuracy. The other method uses distance transformation, which is fast and gives rough regions of interests that can contain valid visual code candidates.

Published: September 2019

In the present study, a novel attempt is made to synthesize yttrium boride (YB4) nano-sized powders through metallothermic reduction method. The starting materials used were yttria (Y2O3) and boron oxide (B2O3) as reactants, and calcium (Ca) as reductant. The reaction was carried out at 9500C under argon atmosphere followed by acid washing. The product was subjected to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) which indicated its elemental constituents and purity of the prepared nanopowders. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies revealed the formation of YB4 and YB6 phases as well as their respective crystal structures. Thermal analysis was done to calculate the weight loss and phase stability at different temperatures. It showed complete crystallization of the yttrium boride around 8000C. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images showed the agglomerated particle morphology. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) indicated the presence of Y and B elements. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed the particle size in the order of 40 nm to 60 nm. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern were in consensus with XRD results ensuring the formation of nano-sized yttrium boride. The overall results confirmed that yttrium boride can be synthesized by the low-temperature metallothermic reduction process.

The thermodynamic properties of impurity components in silicon solutions play an important role in the chemical removal process to the metallurgical route. In this paper, the component activity coefficients and interaction parameters of dilute silicon solutions were estimated by the molecular interaction volume model (MIVM). The activity coefficients (?i) of component i in dilute binary Si-i and ternary Si-i-j solutions at 1687-1873 K were firstly calculated. The concentration dependences of the interaction parameter and activity coefficient were also obtained. The self-interaction parameters (?i,i) for Si-i system were obtained as ?B,B= -2.728-362.031/T, ?Al,Al = 2.157-1876.776/T, ?Fe,Fe= -4.842+14445.926/T and ?P,P = -2.543+13767.036/T. At the same time, the interaction parameters among components B, Al, and Fe in dilute ternary Sii- j solutions were also derived as ?Fe,B=-1.2758-2946.306/T, ?Al,B = 0.7467-9765.9298/T and ?Fe,Al= -1.39677+3319.6803/T. Most important of all, the temperature dependences of the interaction parameters and activity coefficients in dilute Si-i and Si-i-j solutions with a certain i or j concentration were deduced. The results show that the predicted self-interaction parameters of B, Al, Fe, and P in binary silicon solutions reasonably agree with the experimental data. This further shows that MIVM is of reliability and can be expanded to a multi-component dilute silicon solution.
The influence of the volatiles on the slag composition for the heating process
Authors: Zhao Z.-Y. , Zhao J.-X. , Cui Y. , Lu L. , Wang G.-H.
Published: September 2019

The physicochemical properties of slag are of great importance in pyrometallurgy. If there is a volatile component in the slag, evaporation will inevitably occur. As a result, the slag composition will change, and the measured results will be inconsistent with the original slag composition. Therefore, the traditional methods can be applied to determine the properties of slag, however, the change in slag composition will lead to the inaccuracy of the results. Two typical kinds of slag ESR slag with higher CaF2 and Pb smelting reduction slag with higher PbO were chosen, and melting point measurements were taken as an example to demonstrate the new method in practice. Weight loss measurements and evaporation test with thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, as well as high-temperature mass spectrometer (MS) tests were carried out to identify the volatiles. It was found that CaF2 and MgF2 is the main volatiles with a small amount of AlF3 to ESR slag and PbO is the main volatile with a small amount of ZnO. Based on these points and the weight loss, the slag melting points measured with traditional method and the slag chemical composition were modified to fit the melting point value. This way is proved to be feasible in theory and practice. Some suggestion for further research are proposed. The work will be of significance for both slag and molten salt with volatiles.
Intraregional demographic disparities: The case of the Southeastern Serbia (1980-2017)
Authors: Penev Goran
Published: September 2019

Rather pronounced differences among the republics and provinces were among
the main characteristics of the population development in the former
socialist Yugoslavia. After the dissolution of the federal state, all the
newly formed states were demographically less heterogeneous and changes over
time led to the elimination of the differences among them. The current
political reality has caused the Republic of Serbia (excluding Kosovo and
Metohija) to become more or less homogenous area in demographic terms. The
differences still exist and they are specifically pronounced in some smaller
regional units. The region of Southeastern Serbia, consisting of five
districts (Jablanicki, Nisavski, Pirotski, Pcinjski, Toplicki) attracts
special attention. It includes municipalities that are demographically
rather heterogenous and on republic level they have minimum or maximum
values of the main demographic indicators of fertility, mortality, migration
and age structure. The paper presents the current demographic situation in
Southeastern Serbia, as well as the changes that took place after 1980 on
the municipal level. It is concluded that they have led to the greater
demographic homogenization of that area. Such changes create the conditions
for a more effective population policy. At the same time, so far presented
intraregional differences require differentiated measures at the local
community level, adapted to their specific needs. Also, the paper points to
real difficulties in collecting statistical data, as well as to limitations
and caution regarding the interpretation of results.
The importance of understanding the consumers’ extended self and how it changes under the influence of digital technologies
Authors: Starcevic Sladjana
Published: September 2019

Extended self is an important psychological-marketing construct that explains
the relation between a consumer?s self-concept and possessions, i.e. the
importance consumers ascribe to possessions in their lives. Extended self
does not comprise of material goods solely, but rather an individual?s body,
their internal processes, ideas, locations, experiences, and other persons.
Although this topic is of high importance for understanding the consumers?
behaviour, it has not been covered in the domestic scientific literature.
The aim of this paper is to critically analyse the concept of extended self
and to unite the newer studies with studies that had been carried out before
