Háttér és célkitűzések

A halogató viselkedés kutatásában egyre hangsúlyosabb szerepet kap a maladaptív passzív halogatás és a hatékony stratégiaként alkalmazható aktív halogatás elkülönítése. Tanulmányunk célja a Choi és Moran (2009) által kidolgozott Aktív-Passzív Halogatás Kérdőív magyar változatának (Szabó, 2012) pszichometriai tesztelése volt. Módszer: Magyar egyetemi hallgatókból álló mintán (N = 843) ellenőriztük a kérdőív struktúráját, reliabilitását és kapcsolatát más pszichológiai tényezőkkel.

Eredmények

A feltáró és megerősítő faktorelemzések alapján egy passzív és egy aktív halogatás alskála jelenik meg a korábbiakban használt ötfaktoros struktúrával szemben. Az alskálák belső megbízhatósága jónak tekinthető. Az aktív halogatás pozitív, míg a passzív halogatás negatív kapcsolatban áll az önértékeléssel és a tanulási énhatékonysággal. Az időperspektívát tekintve a passzív halogatás a múlt-negatív orientációval pozitív, míg a jövőorientációval negatív együtt járást mutat. A halogatásfaktorokon alapuló klaszterelemzés szerint kialakított csoportok között különbség van a tanulási eredmény tekintetében. A legeredményesebbek a nem halogatók csoportjába tartozók, őket követik az aktív és a passzív halogatók.

Következtetések

Az eredmények alapján kapott nyolcitemes kérdőív alkalmas a klasszikus passzív halogatás, illetve az időnyomás-preferencia kapcsán kialakuló aktív halogatás elkülönítésére. Azonban az eredeti modellben használt további aktívhalogatás-típusok feltárására más eszközök kidolgozása szükséges.

We discuss and correct misidentified records of D. mikanii from the states of Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina.
Continuos Parameterization of the Median Surface of an Ellipsoidal Shell and Its Geometric Parameters
Authors: Gureeva Natalya , Nikolaev Anatoliy , Klochkov Mikhail
Published: June 2020

When analyzing the stress-strain state of thin-walled structural elements that have the shape of an ellipsoid, it becomes necessary to calculate the geometric characteristics of the ellipsoidal surface. When using the canonical ellipsoid equation, regions of uncertainty appear in the Cartesian coordinate system at the intersection points of the ellipsoid surface with the horizontal coordinate plane. To exclude these areas of uncertainty, we propose an expression of the radius vector of an ellipsoidal surface whose projections are functions of two parametric representations in mutually perpendicular planes. One of the planes is the vertical plane XOZ, and the other plane is the plane perpendicular to the axis O at the point with the x coordinate. The parameter T of the ellipse obtained from the intersection of the ellipsoid with the XOZ plane was chosen as the argument of the first parametric function. The argument of the second parametric function t is the parameter of an ellipse formed as a result of the intersection of an ellipsoidal surface with a plane perpendicular to the abscissa axis at a distance of x from the origin. The proposed representation of the ellipsoidal surface allowed us to exclude uncertainties at the intersection points of the ellipsoid with the HOWE coordinate plane. By differentiating the proposed radius-vector expression at an arbitrary point on an ellipsoidal surface, we obtain relations for the basis vectors of an arbitrary point and their derivatives represented by components in the same local basis. These relations are necessary for the development of algorithms for numerical analysis of deformation processes of engineering structures that have ellipsoidal surfaces.
Express Diagnostic Method of the Stress State of Weakly Magnetized Ferromagnetic Rods
Authors: Bardin Aleksey , Orlov Andrey , Perchenko Sergey
Published: June 2020

A method for express diagnostics of weakly magnetized ferromagnetic rods is proposed. It is based on measuring the stray magnetic field of the rod. We analyze the inverse magnetostatic problem and formulate the conditions when its regularization is possible. In this case, it is possible to connect the value of the average transverse component of magnetization with the results of the measured stray magnetic field. The distributions of transverse magnetization values were experimentally studied using rods made of SV08G2S [transliterated from Russian] and ER-308LSi steels as an example. The studied samples were subjected to impact plastic deformation, tensile deformation, and torsion deformation. It is shown that this method allows to register areas with stress concentrations without additional magnetization of the test sample. A feature of the method is the use of once calculated system functions without solving large systems of equations and using unstable spectral methods. The method is applicable for cylindrical objects of small radius far from the edge of the test sample, when the magnetization in the cross section of the sample can be considered as constant.
Walter Benjamin, turista y viajero: Italia (1912) e Ibiza/Eivissa (1932-1933)
Authors: Higueras Bruno Ferrer I
Published: June 2020

La vida, la experiencia y la obra de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) proveen una ventana, desde un punto de vista peculiar, para observar la evolución del turismo en Europa durante el primer tercio del siglo XX. Sus experiencias en Italia (1912) e Ibiza (1932-1933) permiten observar los contrastes entonces existentes entre, por un lado, un destino turístico desarrollado, conocido de antemano y accesible mediante medios de transporte colectivo de fácil acceso y, por el otro, una isla primitiva, relativamente aislada y virgen que pretendía tímidamente promocionarse, crear infraestructura hotelera e incorporarse al mercado internacional. Asimismo, Walter Benjamin ya identificó el estereotipo del turista decepcionado, analiza diferentes maneras de relacionarse y/o percibir el lugar ajeno -que además permitirían distinguir entre las categorías de residente, viajero y turista- y quizás critica ya los efectos del turismo masivo que él intuía en Ibiza.

Significance Statement

Accurate prediction of risk for disease progression is crucial for clinical management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The Mayo imaging classification of ADPKD uses height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) and age to identify patients at highest risk. Because the current Mayo classification applies only to patients with typical diffuse cystic disease (class 1) and poorly predicts eGFR decline for the remaining 5%–10% of patients with atypical morphology (class 2), imaging-based risk modeling remains unresolved. The authors report an expanded imaging classification model in which use of a recalculated htTKV value that excludes prominent exophytic cysts improved prediction for eGFR trajectory. Using a recalculated htTKV may allow inclusion of class 2 patients in the Mayo classification of ADPKD and reclassification of class 1 patients with prominent exophytic cysts.

Background

The Mayo Clinic imaging classification of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) uses height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) and age to identify patients at highest risk for disease progression. However, this classification applies only to patients with typical diffuse cystic disease (class 1). Because htTKV poorly predicts eGFR decline for the 5%–10% of patients with atypical morphology (class 2), imaging-based risk modeling remains unresolved.

Methods

Of 558 adults with ADPKD in the HALT-A study, we identified 25 patients of class 2A with prominent exophytic cysts (class 2Ae) and 43 patients of class 1 with prominent exophytic cysts; we recalculated their htTKVs to exclude exophytic cysts. Using original and recalculated htTKVs in association with imaging classification in logistic and mixed linear models, we compared predictions for developing CKD stage 3 and for eGFR trajectory.

Results

Using recalculated htTKVs increased specificity for developing CKD stage 3 in all participants from 82.6% to 84.2% after adjustment for baseline age, eGFR, BMI, sex, and race. The predicted proportion of class 2Ae patients developing CKD stage 3 using a cutoff of 0.5 for predicting case status was better calibrated to the observed value of 13.0% with recalculated htTKVs (45.5%) versus original htTKVs (63.6%). Using recalculated htTKVs reduced the mean paired difference between predicted and observed eGFR from 17.6 (using original htTKVs) to 4.0 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for class 2Ae, and from −1.7 (using original htTKVs) to 0.1 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for class 1.

Conclusions

Use of a recalculated htTKV measure that excludes prominent exophytic cysts facilitates inclusion of class 2 patients and reclassification of class 1 patients in the Mayo classification model.

Язык и право в философии Джорджо Агамбена
Authors: Хабибулин Тагир Маратович
Published: June 2020

В статье критически рассматриваются воззрения современного итальянского философа Джорджо Агамбена на проблему соотношения права и языка. Тезисы Агамбена представляют большой интерес для философии права, поскольку они, во-первых, предлагают новый взгляд на генеалогию и назначение права (право как институт, сообщающий языку возможность влиять на мир фактов), и во-вторых, радикальным образом ставят под сомнение существующее отношение между правом и языком. Основной тезис Агамбена выстраивается вокруг предположения о том, что в области его функций право, как и религия, наследует более древнему феномену клятвы, который призван обеспечить надежную связь между языком и миром фактов. Для того, чтобы клятва (а впоследствии право и религия) была эффективной, необходимо, чтобы она существовала в рамках определенного языкового опыта, который предполагает наличие фигуры Бога, гарантирующего ее надежность. Критический тезис Агамбена по отношению к существующему состоянию проблемы заключается в том, что сегодня язык в праве более не способен опираться на фигуру Бога для обоснования собственной способности влиять на факты и потому тот языковой опыт, внутри которого право появилось и продолжает существовать, находится в безвыходном кризисе. В данной статье автор встраивает тезисы Агамбена о праве и языке в общий контекст его философских воззрений, чтобы выявить методологические ограничения, присущие подходу Агамбена. В первую очередь эти ограничения проявляются в недостаточной проблематизированности границ права, отделяющих его от религии. Сущностные различия между этими феноменами размываются внутри однородной конструкции «языкового опыта». При этом допущенное Агамбеном обобщение, внутри которого право и религия оказываются неразличимыми, является контрпродуктивным для самого критического проекта Агамбена из фокуса которого исчезает его объект – право.
Иск о признании права на недвижимость и его место в системе вещно-правовых способов защиты
Authors: Поротиков Александр Иванович
Published: June 2020

В статье анализируются вопросы, связанные с основаниями для обращения в суд с исками о признании права собственности на недвижимое имущество, а также соотношение данного средства защиты гражданских прав с иными исками собственника – иском об истребовании имущества из чужого владения, исков об исключении записи из реестра прав на недвижимое имущество, негаторных исков. Автор приходит к выводу, что у исков о признании права на недвижимое имущество нет сферы самостоятельного применения, данные требования поглащаются другими средствами защиты.

UNC Chapel Hill Zebrafish Aquaculture Core (ZAC) Environmental Summary v4
Authors: Altemara Michelle
Published: June 2020

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are a popular animal model used in a variety of research areas. As with all animal models, husbandry conditions, including environmental parameters, nutrition, and exposure to pathogens can affect research results. Additionly, zebrafish are tolerant of a wide range of environmental parameters, which has led to wide variation in husbandry practices across facilities around the world. The lack of standard conditions across zebrafish laboratories may play a role in irreproducible experiments. Therefore, annual summaries of these conditions have been compiled for the Zebrafish Aquaculture Core (ZAC) facility at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Chapel Hill with the aim to have this data included in research articles published using our fish. As more institutions publish husbandry protocols, standard husbandry practices may emerge.
The effect of raters fatigue on scoring EFL writing tasks
Authors: Mahshanian Amir , Shahnazari Mohammadtaghi
Published: June 2020

Given the importance of testing, in general, and scoring writing tasks in particular, the negative effect of fatigue on human raters is important to investigate. This study aimed to (1) explore the relationship between fatigue and scoring composition tasks written by upper-intermediate EFL learners; and (2) to investigate the discrepancy of the frequency of comments among EFL raters while scoring composition tasks. Four raters were selected, and each given 28 composition tasks to score and comment on. The data were analyzed through SPSS software by running ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and post-hoc tests. Results suggested that the scores assigned to the first 16 tasks were significantly lower than those assigned to the last 12 tasks and that the last four tasks were scored highest. Based on the results obtained from the questionnaire, the observed diversity is argued to be rooted in raters’ fatigue and result in test bias. Furthermore, findings indicated that the frequency of comments given by the raters on the first 12 essays was significantly higher than those on the last 16 essays (the highest and the lowest frequency of comments were observed in the first four, and the last four scored essays, respectively).
Promoting multiculturalism: Teachers’ English proficiency and multicultural education in Indonesia
Authors: Diem Chuzaimah Dahlan , Abdullah Umar
Published: June 2020

Greater disparities and inadequacies of English proficiency (EP) may influence the educational process for EFL teachers of different cultural backgrounds. This study aims at describing the condition of 104 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ EP in the Southern Region of Sumatra in relation to such variables as education level (EL), cultural backgrounds, teaching assignment level, and gender. Using English test scores of teachers’ teaching status (pre-service and in-service), EL, gender, multicultural education questionnaire, and teaching assignment, teachers’ EP is described. This study reveals that EL affects EP and also becomes the best predictor of their cultural knowledge and experience, such as personal development, leadership, curriculum instruction, general sensitivity, and cultural awareness. Furthermore, teachers teaching at higher levels of education appear to be better in EP than those teaching at lower levels, and in-service teachers are also better than pre-service teachers in their teaching responsibility. Although there is no difference in gender in their EP as a whole, females’ EP, listening skill, and personal development are significantly correlated. The implication of the findings indicates that to be proficient in English and culturally developed with integrity, teachers must have at least a master’s degree in addition to having an in-service status of teaching employment.

Conocimiento de la logopedia. Un estudio descriptivo
Authors: Rubio-Iglesias Fernández-Vegue Elena , Martínez Lorca Manuela , Martínez Lorca Alberto , Criado Álvarez Juan José
Published: June 2020

La Logopedia es una disciplina del ámbito sanitario que realiza la evaluación, el diagnóstico, la prevención, la intervención y el estudio de dificultades, patologías y alteraciones en el lenguaje (oral y escrito), habla, voz, audición y funciones orales no verbales. Actualmente, se encuentran escasos estudios que investiguen el conocimiento que tiene la población española sobre la logopedia. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es conocer qué conocimiento se tiene sobre la logopedia. Se ha realizado un estudio descriptivo mediante un cuestionario elaborado “ad hoc” en formato on-line de 34 preguntas, con el que se analizan aspectos como el contacto que tienes los participantes con la logopedia, los campos de actuación de un logopeda, las alteraciones que trata y la valoración de la logopedia. La muestra fue de 299 personas con una sub-muestra de 64 porque se excluyeron las que estudian o estudiaban logopedia, que son logopedas, que han asistido al logopeda o bien que conocen a alguien relacionado con la logopedia. Se concluyó que la logopedia sí es conocida por la población, aunque hay cierta desinformación sobre algunas áreas. Se recomienda realizar investigaciones a mayor escala, para alcanzar unos resultados más precisos.

Published: June 2020

Este artículo se enmarca dentro del Proyecto de Cooperación Internacional “Capacitación en accesibilidad universal para la gestión estratégica del envejecimiento poblacional en la provincia de Villa Clara (Cuba)”, financiado por la Consejería de Fomento, Infraestructuras y Ordenación del Territorio de la Junta de Andalucía (2018/2020). Una ciudad amigable con las personas mayores es aquella que alienta el envejecimiento activo poblacional mediante las oportunidades de salud, participación y seguridad. El objetivo de este estudio es poner en valor la importancia de promover ciudades amigables con los colectivos más vulnerables, centrándonos en el de personas mayores, siendo éstas uno de los grupos de población que aparecen referenciados en la Carta Mundial de Derecho a la Ciudad de manera específica como objetos prioritarios de atención. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura existente en el tema, realizando una comparativa entre Cuba y España. Como resultados podemos señalar que, si bien existen en ambos países importantes avances, aún queda un largo camino por recorrer. Es necesario seguir desarrollando estrategias de inclusión para evitar las dificultades de acceso e integración de la ciudadanía en general y los colectivos más vulnerables en particular.

El método de la logogenia crea condiciones para posibilitar el proceso de adquisición del español en personas sordas, a través de su exposición al código escrito, para que estas puedan comunicarse. Debido a la utilidad de la logogenia en sordos jóvenes y adultos, es pertinente identificar su funcionalidad en niños, época de la vida en la que podría tener mayor impacto. El estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar si la aplicación de la logogenia permite que los sordos de 5 a 8 años activen tempranamente el proceso de adquisición de la competencia lingüística del español, en especial en cinco dimensiones: comprensión, expresión y uso de elementos de contenido, y comprensión, expresión y uso de elementos funcionales, reglas gramaticales, discriminación de gramaticalidad y conciencia gramatical; además se buscaba identificar si esta activación tenía incidencia en la participación en la comunidad a través de la lengua escrita. Los resultados, a través de pruebas de U Mann-Whitney, mostraron que los participantes del grupo experimental que fueron sometidos a la logogenia desarrollaron habilidades en los procesos sintácticos, que les permitió activar la adquisición de la lengua, a través del código escrito del español. Asimismo, esta activación lingüística propició una efectiva y eficiente participación en los contextos sociales, familiares y escolares, aspectos no evidenciados en el grupo control.
Discourse Networks and Dual Screening: Analyzing Roles, Content and Motivations in Political Twitter Conversations
Authors: Bossner Felix , Nagel Melanie
Published: June 2020

The increasing relevance of social networking platforms is accompanied by a growing number of studies using digital trace data. However, most studies still lack further understanding of the data-generating process. This analytical gap can be directly attributed to the prevalence of quantitative approaches, as only qualitative work is able to generate these insights. The broad methodological toolset of Discourse Network Analysis addresses this shortcoming as it combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The present study therefore employs Discourse Network Analysis in order to (1) determine different user groups’ varying role as senders and recipients of targeted online conversations, (2) identify and compare Twitter users’ (simultaneous) reference to different forms of conversational Twitter content, and to (3) asses the motivation of @message authors to direct particular tweets at particular user groups. To this end, this study analyzes @messages during the BBC program ‘Question Time’ on 2nd of June 2017—the final media encounter of Prime Minister Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn in the context of the 2017 UK election campaign. We draw on the theoretical background of Maarten Hajer’s discourse coalitions approach in order to investigate the preconditions for the formation of discourse coalitions in new and emerging virtual discourse arenas. Thus, our work not only mirrors the focus in existing literature on Twitter usage during high-profile political media events, but also emphasizes Twitter’s unique features for interactive exchange. This article identifies different forms of meta-talk and policy issues, which vary in both their general popularity with Twitter users as well as their interconnectedness. Furthermore, our analysis uncovers the motivation behind the decisions of @message authors to send particular @messages to certain groups of Twitter users. Finally, we could establish that media events only temporarily affect the topical foci of @message authors.
Comparing Discourse and Policy Network Approaches: Evidence from Water Policy on Micropollutants
Authors: Schaub Simon , Metz Florence
Published: June 2020

To understand how actors make collective policy decisions, scholars use policy and discourse network approaches to analyze interdependencies among actors. While policy networks often build on survey data, discourse networks typically use media data to capture the beliefs or policy preferences shared by actors. One of the reasons for the variety of data sources is that discourse data can be more accessible to researchers than survey data (or vice versa). In order to make an informed decision on valid data sources, researchers need to understand how differences in data sources may affect results. As this remains largely unexplored, we analyze the differences and similarities between policy and discourse networks. We systematically compare policy networks with discourse networks in respect of the types of actors participating in them, the policy proposals actors advocate and their coalition structures. For the policy field of micropollutants in surface waters in Germany, we observe only small differences between the results obtained using the policy and discourse network approaches. We find that the discourse network approach particularly emphasizes certain actor types, i.e., expanders who seek to change the policy status quo. The policy network approach particularly reflects electoral interests, since preferences for policies targeting voters are less visible. Finally, different observation periods reveal some smaller differences in the coalition structures within the discourse network. Beyond these small differences, both approaches come to largely congruent results with regards to actor types, policy preferences and coalition structures. In our case, the use of discourse and policy network approaches lead to similar conclusions regarding the study of policy processes.
Incumbents’ Strategies in Media Coverage: A Case of the Czech Coal Policy
Authors: Černý Ondřej , Ocelík Petr
Published: June 2020

Transitioning to a decarbonized economy is a crucial part of climate change mitigation, with the phasing-out of coal, as the most significant source of carbon dioxide emissions, being the centerpiece of this effort. In the European context, the increasing pressures exerted especially on the basis of the European Union’s energy and climate policy, coupled with the inherent uncertainty of the transition process, encourage various struggles among the involved policy actors over the setting of specific transition pathways. One site of such contestation is media discourse, which may facilitate or limit policy change through agenda-setting, framing, and other processes. Importantly, discursive struggles also include industry incumbents, who have a vested interest in preserving the existing sociotechnical regime. This article focuses on the position of incumbents in terms of their relationship with governing political parties and the discursive strategies they employ. It explores the policy debate on coal mining expansion which took place in 2015 in the Czech Republic, a post-communist country with a coal-dependent economy, a skeptical position on energy transition, and a powerful energy industry. The research employs discourse network analysis to examine a corpus compiled from daily newspapers and applies block modeling techniques to analyze patterns of relationships within and between actor groups. The results show that incumbents successfully prevented policy change in the direction of rapid coal phase-out by exploiting discourse alignment with governing parties and efficiently employing discursive strategies based primarily on securitization of socioeconomic issues.
Gatekeeping the Plenary Floor: Discourse Network Analysis as a Novel Approach to Party Control
Authors: Bhattacharya Caroline
Published: June 2020

In the German parliament, the Bundestag, floor time is a scarce resource and is allocated to MPs by leaders of their respective parliamentary party groups. Previous research indicates that highly salient plenary debates tend to be dominated by party leaders and other loyal frontbenchers. Plenary speeches can therefore offer only limited insights into party unity. Any MP can give a so-called ‘explanation of vote’ (EoVs) to justify their voting decision and/or express their point of view. These written statements provide a more accurate depiction of the range of viewpoints present within legislative parties. In order to assess the effect of party control on observed party unity and parliamentary contestation, discourse network analysis has been employed in this study to compare legislative speech with EoVs in debates on the Greek crisis between 2010 and 2015. Discourse network analysis combines content analysis with an actor-centred approach, and this is the first time this method has been used to study party control and (dis)unity. Bundestag debates on the Greek crisis present an interesting case study, as the issue became increasingly controversial over time, both in the public and the legislature. While this became evident in declining voting unity and individual-level mobilisation through EoVs, the extent to which gatekeeping impedes contestation on the plenary floor needs to be assessed. In terms of representation, it is important that European Union issues not only make it to the plenary agenda but that these debates also reflect the different viewpoints of MPs.
DONBASS CONFLICT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW ECONOMIC POLICY (NEP) PERIOD AS A REFLECTION OF THE SOVIET SYSTEM’S CONTRADICTIONS
Authors: Kabachek Volodymyr
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to the conflict in Donbass took place at the beginning of the NEP (New Economic Policy) period. This conflict is considered in terms of the general problem of interrelationships between Local and Central power bodies. The author shows, that this factor was the main driving force of the Donbass conflict. Human factor had only additional dramatic effect in this conflict. Even G. Pyatakov’s expelling from Donbass has not discarded contradictions between the "Center" and "Local power" in reference to mines leasing. As observed from a variety of historical sources, it went on though less acute forms during the subsequent period of the New Economic Policy (NEP). The similar situation was marked in the other branches of industry and in the other regions (provinces and counties) of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR). In spite of the very many-sided nature of the conflict, its inter-personal as well as subjective motivations, economic conflicts between ventral and local authorities became a
very important component of it. The struggle of Local Power (Republican Departments) and Central one for the control over small commercial companies had been continuing during the whole NEP (New Economic Policy) period and had objectively progressive nature. However, the forces in this fight were too unequal. The problem, which hasn’t been solved correctly at the beginning of 1920s, resulted in an excessive centralization in the management of the Ukrainian industry as well as the rights restriction of the State power Local Bodies and the opportunities of Local Budgets. The autor concluads, that in spite of of transformations of political system, the problem of economical and finantional independace of the local authorities stays actual in more that hundred years after the described events.
ORIGINS OF CONFLICTS AT WORK ON INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES AT THE POST-STALIN TIME AND WAYS OF THEIR RESOLUTIONS (ON THE MATERIALS OF THE BELORUSSIAN SOVET SOCIAL REPUBLIC)
Authors: Aheyeu Aliaksandr
Published: June 2020

The article discusses contradictions and conflicts at work on the industrial enterprises of the BSSR, including strikes, in the second half of the 1950s and in 1960s. The main reasons for the conflict were the facts of corruption, lower salaries, changes in working conditions, and the inefficient enterprise and management system. There were a lot of facts of abuse by the authorities of their service ranks by distribution of bonuses, financial aids, passports to sanatoria, apartments and so on. Although these questions were under control of party’s and trade union’s committees, the effectiveness of their work was low. The bureaucratic system of supervision and management has shown its inconsistency of practical implementation of promised social justice standards. In the face of weakening repressive legislation workers increasingly decided for various forms of protest and even for escalation of conflicts. An analysis of archival materials revealed 62 facts of refusal to work at industrial enterprises of the BSSR only during the period from 1956 till 1965. Struggle of workers for their rights including strikes of workers created no danger for the political regime, but became a factor which increased the attentiveness of party’s and economic authorities to the situation in industry. Administrative and organizational attempts to stop the rot in giving bonuses to the heads, engineers, technical personal as well as office workers were done. Party’s and economic governing bodies tried to avoid publicity in considering of conflict situations. Under the dominance of the command and administrative system, the management bodies were not ready for partnership relations with employees. They perceived conflicts in a socialist society as an accidents and used tactics of organizational and psychological pressure in conflict situations and demanded unilateral concessions from workers. In essence, this tactic was selfdeception and, in a strategic plan, did not lead to conflicts’ resolutions.
