Socio-technocratic discourse of technoscience

The paper is focused on specific features of social science development on new stage defined as postnonclassical paradigm of social sciences. Specific features of knowledge acquiring and development in postnonclassical paradigm of social sciences are revealed. It is highlighted that postnonclassical paradigm of scientificity correlates with the stage called “technoscience”. It is proved that in frames of the present system of scientific knowledge classification (classical, nonclassical and postnonclassical scientific paradigms) that includes natural, social and technical sciences, technoscience cannot be referred to any of these types of knowledge. Technoscience represents new concept of knowledge production, new socio-technocratic discourse. The specific character of technoscience is in the fact that its objects are not objective reality in Cartesian dualistic worldview, but so called “human-dimension” objects. New stage of integration of science and society is characterized by new methodology of transdisciplinary research. Transdisciplinary research in comparison with interdisciplinary are distinguished by gateway to life practice; it is socially allocated production of knowledge. Knowledge is produced not only in context of inventions and fundamental rationales, but as well in context of assessment of application consequences (social assessment of technology). In is highlighted that technoscience refers to activity in frames of which science and technology make a sort of mixture or hybrid. Technoscience can be interpreted as specifically contemporary phenomenon, social technology in its own way

The Universal Periodic Review mechanism of the UN Human Rights Council - a hope for universal coverage and equal treatment of states?

The UN General Assembly, in its resolution 60/251 mandated the Human Rights Council to undertake a universal periodic review, based on objective and reliable information, of the fulfilment by each state of its human rights obligations in a manner which ensures universality of coverage and equal treatment with respect to all states. All member states of the Council are to be reviewed during their term of membership. At its fifth session, the Council adopted, in resolution 5/1, detailed provisions regarding the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism. This article explores the bases for the review, its advantages and challenges, and its features

ORGANIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF UNIVERSITIES OF TECHNICAL SPECIALTIES IN THE COUNTRY OF TRENDS OF THE SOLUTION OF THE HUMANITARIAN-CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT AMONG STUDENT YOUTH.

The connection of Ukraine with the world and European community implies a focus on the Person, his/her spiritual education, upbringing of value attitude to the social environment and him/herself, with a thorough education and deep knowledge, the ability to successfully solve his/her own life problems, readiness to take on the responsibility conditions of international relations, capability of self-development and self-improvement, responsibility for other people. This fundamental approach requires a rethinking of the process of education in universities with a technical profile of training specialists, and in general in the educational system of the state. The problem of development of the Concept of educational system of the modern higher technical educational institution for today and the necessity of finding effective ways of formation of world outlook positions and values landmarks of the student youth on the basis of spiritual, moral and cultural bases of life of the Ukrainian people, coordination of interaction of educational institutions of professional education, state institutions are considered

Growth rates of the pancreatic tail in the prenatal period of human ontogenesis

Modern medicine is a system of scientific knowledge and practical activities aimed at preserving and strengthening human health, prevention and treatment of diseases. Timely detection of abnormal fetuses with the help of modern methods of prenatal diagnosis makes it possible to almost triple the population frequency of birth defects and their specific weight in the structure of prenatal mortality, child disability and serious diseases, which is of great medico-biological and socio-economic importance

Derivation and quantitative analysis of the differential self-interrogation Feynman-alpha method

A stochastic theory for a branching process in a neutron population with two energy levels is used to assess the applicability of the differential self-interrogation Feynman-alpha method by numerically estimated reaction intensities from Monte Carlo simulations. More specifically, the variance to mean or Feynman-alpha formula is applied to investigate the appearing exponentials using the numerically obtained reaction intensities.Comment: Proceedings 52nd INMM conference, Palm Desert, 17-21 July 201
