Role of the family in the socialization and integration of social subjects in the conditions of intercultural interaction

We investigated the role of the family in the processes of socialization and integration in the context of mass immigration. The data of the sociological survey shows that the presence of the own family promotes ethnic and religious, state and civic identity. Family respondents have a more positive experience of interaction with migrants. At the same time, they choose the more restrictive policies towards migrants as a whole. Thus, the presence of own family helps to preserve the integrity of the society, increase of the socialization and integration potential of social subjects.Работа посвящена исследованию роли семьи в социализационных и интеграционных процессах в условиях массовой иммиграции. Данные проведенного социологического опроса показывают, что наличие семьи способствует этноконфессиональной, государственной и гражданской идентичности, позитивным контактам с мигрантами. При этом, семейные респонденты более склонны к ограничительным стратегиям по отношению к мигрантам в целом. Таким образом, наличие собственной семьи способствует сохранению общественной целостности, росту социализационного и интеграционного потенциала социальных субъектов

The Metamodern Trends in the Contemporary Opera Productions. Towards New Expressiveness

This paper focuses on the director's theater as an important stage in the evolution of the opera genre and at the same time an ambiguous cultural phenomenon. Due to the rapid growth of interest in opera in the last quarter of the twentieth century, the concept of director's opera, which owes its formation and flourishing to the postmodern condition, begins to spread in the West. At present the term director's opera is actively used in Russian art criticism. As a result, it was found that the majority of researchers of musical theater in their works associate this concept with the provocative nature of works and too speculative stage interpretations of operas, as well as apparent liberty in the treatment of classical heritage, leading to the destruction of the opera canon. Simultaneously, with the theoretical reflection of the phenomenon of director' opera, as a result of the major crises of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as fatigue from the corrosive, destructing irony of postmodernism, the concept of metamodernism appears. According to the theorists of metamodernism, the new cultural paradigm aims to recode modern culture through art, and music was the first to embrace metamodernism that later on penetrated and conquered various cultural spheres. Defending its social significance and vitality, opera theater, following other art forms, changes its aesthetics, demonstrating trends associated with metamodernism, for instance allows for unexpected collaborations that welcome very different people to shine their otherness. As a result of the study of literature and empirical materials, the author concludes that the outlined intensions, which appeared in the period 2016–2018, can be considered as significant examples of the penetration of metamodern trends in contemporary opera theater. As the examples, the writer considers production of Verdi's opera La Traviata by Wilson and Arthur Honegger’s oratorio Joan of Arc at the Stake by Castellucci

A theoretical study of the structural phases of Group 5B - 6B metals and their transport properties

In order to predict the stable and metastable phases of the bcc metals in the block of the Periodic Table defined by groups 5B to 6B and periods 4 to 6, as well as the structure dependence of their transport properties, we have performed full potential computations of the total energies per unit cell as a function of the c/a ratio at constant experimental volume. In all cases, a metastable body centered tetragonal (bct) phase was predicted from the calculations. The total energy differences between the calculated stable and metastable phases ranged from 0.09 eV/cell (vanadium) to 0.39 eV/cell (tungsten). The trends in resistivity as a function of structure and atomic number are discussed in terms of a model of electron transport in metals. Theoretical calculations of the electrical resistivity and other transport properties show that bct phases derived from group 5B elements are more conductive than the corresponding bcc phases, while bct phases formed from group 6B elements are less conductive than the corresponding bcc phases. Special attention is paid to the phases of tantalum where we show that the frequently observed beta phase is not a simple tetragonal distortion of bcc tantalum

Gender Implications of Small Scale Urban Trade in Ukraine

This research project examines the growing informal sector of Ukrainian economy and the way global economic changes affect women's lives. It has been noticed by many Western researchers that women have been among the hardest hit by economic restructuring in Eastern Europe. Marginalization from the official labor force led a great number of women into the new informal sector of the economy. In Ukraine the development of petty trade is one of the most remarkable among the resent economic trends in this country. The research examines the connections between two levels of social life: global economic change in a society and economic behavior and decision-making process of its members, with cultural norms and values either conflicting with the new economic behavior or adapting to it. I examine how the global changing economic situation through its effect on local economies becomes both a push and pull factor causing individual lives to change. Using the example of small scale urban traders in Ukraine, the study uncovers how globalization through economic changes on the level of nation-state economies affect the decision making, life course and career paths of women in a changing society. The focus of the project is the effects of economic change in Ukraine on women, and the role small scale urban trade plays in their struggle to survive through the ongoing process of economic restructuring in their countries. The study examines the reasons why women initially entered trade, and what personal consequences this occupational change had for them and their families

Application of multivariate statistical analysis for delineation of prospective geochemical anomalies in Providenskaya Area (Chukotka, Russia)

The secondary geochemical field structure was modelled on the basis of the lithogeochemical dispersion trains of the Providenskaya Area of the Chukotka Peninsula. The factor and cluster analysis were applied to interpret the nature of geochemical anomalies. It was proved that a range of anomalies were prospective for gold-silver, polymetallic, tin, and tungsten deposit allocation
