Conversion and Deconversion of the Sphere of Work: Risks and Prospects

Сфера труда призвана играть важную роль в достижении устойчивого развития российской экономики. В этом контексте возрастает важность познания общего характера и глубинных причин, источников, движущих сил преобразования сферы труда РФ. Целью данной статьи является развитие концепта макроэкономической трансформации сферы труда, которая задается мультипликативным эффектом ее конверсии и деконверсии. В связи c этим, опираясь на синергетический подход, сформировано научное понимание сущностных характеристик, тенденций и приоритетов, вызовов и возможностей конверсии и деконверсии сферы труда. Методология исследования основана на теоретическом анализе результатов научных работ по проблемам макроэкономических изменений сферы труда. Эмпирической базой послужили статистические данные и аналитические обзоры Федеральной службы государственной статистики РФ (Росстата) и Международной организации труда за период 2008–2018 гг. Научная новизна заключается в уточнении и обосновании теоретических и выявлении прикладных императив конверсии и деконверсии сферы труда РФ. Исследование мультипликативного эффекта конверсии и деконверсии сферы труда становится самостоятельной научной проблемой при разработке теоретических и прикладных основ экономической политики государства, региона, организацииTransformation processes in modern Russia are associated with new opportunities and risks for the development of the labor sphere. These labor processes entail changes in the traditional organizational and legal methods and conditions of labor use. Under these conditions, the explanation of the ongoing institutional changes in wage labor is associated with the emergence of new paradigms of economic knowledge, a new terminological apparatus. The purpose of this article is to develop the conceptual foundations for the study of macroeconomic institutional transformations, which are given by the multiplier effect of the conversion and deconversion of the world of work. In this regard, based on a synergistic approach, the foundations of the concept of transformation of the labor sphere, the essential characteristics and trends in the conversion and deconversion of wage labor in Russia have been studie

Verbalization of the concept “old” in the English and Russian folklore linguistic worldview

The paper presents the results of the study of the vocabulary constituting concept ‘old' in the folk linguistic worldview based on the material of the English and Russian folk lyrics.The author makes an attempt to find ethnic peculiarities of this vocabulary taking into account the frequency of the words usage and their syntagmatic relations in the texts of the songs.The paper provides some examples of the chosen vocabulary functioning in the English and Russian folklore.The novelty of this study stems from the source material used – the paper is the first one to present a comparative research of verbalizing the concept ‘old' in English and Russian folklore texts.It is also relevant as it identifies certain specificity of the mentality of two ethnoses and figures out the ways of its reflection in the English and Russian folklore linguistic worldview

Warrior Burials of the Later Bronze Age With Sets of Astragals: problem of interpretation

The burial grounds of the beginning of the Late Bronze Age of the Southern Trans-Urals (Sintashta-type, Petrovka-type) which contained the burials of youths and adolescents of a male with large number of astragals are examined in the paper. In such burials, weapons are often found, including those characteristic of chariot warriors, and adornments. The author compares the ancient Indian texts of "Rigveda" and "Atharvaveda" with the materials of the Sintashta-type and Petrovka-type burials and comes to the conclusion about the possible existence of the socio-age associations of youths-warriors in milieu of the chariot cultures of the late Bronze Age. In these associations young men were not only acquiring warrior skills. In their milieu, the game of dice was widespread, which was seen as the equivalent of a battle. In addition, they were improved in the music and dance art

Developing media literacy skills of future specialists in the contemporary teacher training education

Development of media literacy looks especially crucial in context of globalization characterized by a high level culture-language interaction. Contemporary education environment is defined by intensive information saturation which demands skills to act effectively and be flexible from a modern teacher in accordance with constantly changing needs of modern community. Evidently, media literacy is a significant component of professional competence for specialists of modern teacher training education. The advanced level of media literacy skills allows to raise efficacy and quality of teacher training education which is aimed at training a specialist who is ready for development, improvement and selfrealization in professional sphere. Media literacy is connected with applying information and communication technologies in theory and practice of contemporary professional education. So, the term “media literacy” implies future specialist’s skills to work not only with mass media but with various information and communication sources allowing to search, select and present necessary information possibilities for solving academic, personal, cognitive and developing tasks

Information culture of a teacher as a factor of the development of the city human resources

The prerequisite for the study has been the need to develop a model for the formation of information culture for bachelors as future foreign language teachers, taking into account the requirements of the contemporary labor market of pedagogical specialties in the framework of developing the urban human resources potential. The purpose of the research is to study the problem in the context of training qualified humanitarian personnel who can meet professional challenges and be competitive candidates in the educational market of a contemporary city. The article discusses the concept of information culture and describes its functions and structural components. The research methods used include a conversation with teachers and students, a survey of teachers and students on key issues, generalization of experience in organizing work with students in the framework of contact and independent work at school and university, as well as experimental training. The authors describe the model of information culture formation in bachelors specialized in the humanities, the means of information culture formation, and identify the levels of its formedness. The formedness level of a bachelor’s information culture is proposed to be evaluated according to motivational, substantive, professional and technological, and evaluative-performative criteria. The authors cover in detail the content of the information culture forming process of future foreign language teachers. Research results and novelty are presented by the described model of information culture formation in bachelors as future teachers of a foreign language reflected in the special authorial course. The article offers sample topics and control tasks on a developed course. The article may be of interest to specialists in the field of teacher education, e-learning, and the design of information and educational environments in the humanitarian sector of a contemporary city. The proposed model can be used in the system of professional development of foreign language teachers

Деловая карьера в российских банковских организациях: приоритеты и возможности

Such traditional methods of labour efficiency maximization as rationalization, automation of business processes, and head hunting, do not often yield better competitiveness of human resources in the context of modern “transparent” world market development and high uncertainty and dynamism of Russian socioeconomic environment. It is necessary to create proper conditions for the employees to continuously and consciously work towards long-term superiority over competing employees and to increase their professional competences in order to be competitive in the labour market. The objective of this research is to identify the organizational and economic patterns of business career created by differences in the competitive position of banking organizations. The study encompassed the analysis of business careers of the employees of fifteen federal and regional banks quoted in the Russian market during the past six years. The results of the research prove that the type and intensity of business career determine the mechanisms for localization and establishment of the competitive advantages of both the employee and the bank in the market situation. The business career studies made it possible to identify the presence of a socioeconomic conflict between professional and organizational (intraand inter-organizational) career. The business career conflict solutions generate strategic alternatives for the integrating the professional and organizational types of career, in order to maintain and increase the competitiveness of human resources of the banking organizationВ условиях неопределенности и динамичности российской окружающей социально-экономической среды, становления «прозрачного» мирового рынка такие традиционные методы повышения эффективности труда, как рационализация и автоматизация бизнес-процессов, поиск талантов, зачастую не приводят к росту конкурентоспособности человеческих ресурсов. Для этого необходимы постоянное стремление к осознанному формированию долгосрочного превосходства над работниками-конкурентами, преумножение конкурентных компетенций каждого посредством деловой карьеры. В этом контексте необходимо познание общего характера и глубинных причин возникновения, развития и разрушения деловой карьеры, возможности трансформации ее стратегий с учетом конкурентной позиции банковской организации. Цель исследования состоит в выявлении организационно-экономических закономерностей деловой карьеры, обусловленных различиями в конкурентной позиции банковских организаций: (а) найти детерминанты деловой карьеры, позволяющие достичь более высокого уровня в конкуренции на рынке труда в изменяющихся условиях; (б) проанализировать возможные стратегические альтернативы деловой карьеры путем построения двухмерных матриц, позволяющих оценить перспективы того или иного способа позиционирования банковского персонала на рынке труда. Дан анализ деловой карьеры персонала 15 федеральных и региональных банков, котирующихся на российском рынке в течение шести лет. Результаты показывают, что вид и интенсивность деловой карьеры определены механизмами локализации и утверждения конкурентного превосходства как работника, так и банковской организации в рыночной ситуации. Изучение деловой карьеры позволило выявить наличие социально-экономического конфликта между профессиональной и организационной (внутри- и межорганизационной) карьерой. Способы разрешения конфликта деловой карьеры формируют стратегические альтернативы взаимодействия профессионального и организационного видов, направленные на поддержание и повышение конкурентоспособности человеческих ресурсов банковской организаци

Plastome Data of Red Currant and Gooseberry Reveal Potential Taxonomical Issues within the <i>Ribes</i> Genus (Grossulariaceae)

The complete chloroplast genomes of red currant cultivar ‘Belaya Potapenko’ and gooseberry cultivar ‘Nekrasovskij’ were sequenced and assembled for the first time. The plastomes are 157,802 bp and 157,559 bp in length for Ribes rubrum and R. uva-crispa, respectively. The R. rubrum cp genome is 243 b.p. longer. It has one more protein-coding gene ycf1, which is pseudogenized in the R. uva-crispa cp genome. In total, 56 and 54 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified within the assembled plastid genomes. The SSR content of plastid genomes was assessed for the 18 Saxifragales species. Phylogeny inference based on plastome data of 18 Saxifragales revealed that all Ribes species are clustered together on the phylogenetic tree, though R. fasciculatum seems to be the most distant from the other analyzed Ribes species. The position of taxa inside the Ribes genus clade does not support the concept of its division into five subgenera. All Ribes species share approximately the same set of protein-coding genes in their plastome sequences. There was multiple independent pseudogenization of the ycf1 gene within the Ribes genus as well as other Saxifragales taxa. Negative selection was observed for most of the genes in both the Ribes group and Saxifragales. A positive selection ratio was observed only inside the Ribes group for the ycf4 and clpP genes. Together with positive selection signatures, pseudogenization events of ycfs genes perhaps reflect that these genes’ evolution was important for Ribes’ adaptation. Thus, our study provides genomic resources and valuable reference for marker development, and makes some clarifications of the phylogenomics of the Ribes genus
