Fractal-cluster theory and thermodynamic principles of the control and analysis for the self-organizing systems

The theory of resource distribution in self-organizing systems on the basis of the fractal-cluster method has been presented. This theory consists of two parts: determined and probable. The first part includes the static and dynamic criteria, the fractal-cluster dynamic equations which are based on the fractal-cluster correlations and Fibonacci's range characteristics. The second part of the one includes the foundations of the probable characteristics of the fractal-cluster system. This part includes the dynamic equations of the probable evolution of these systems. By using the numerical researches of these equations for the stationary case the random state field of the one in the phase space of the $D$, $H$, $F$ criteria have been obtained. For the socio-economical and biological systems this theory has been tested.Comment: 37 pages, 20 figures, 4 table

The education and socialization concept of the defendants in Russian correctional institutions

The aim of the research is to present the authors’ rehabilitation and development concept of identity of the defendant. Modern penal system instead of resocialization initiates person desocialization, i.e. isolation of the people who have offended against the law, does not promote their rehabilitation and reeducation. Due to external macro-isolation the defendant at all desire can not be isolated from criminogenic micro-society of the custodial institution, where he/she serves the sentence. Long stay in such position often leads to destruction of the person’s standard-valuable sphere and recidivism of asocial behaviour. Providing defendants with possibility of distant vocational training in a higher educational institution as one of the possible variants of positive socialization in extreme conditions of the restraint is given by the authors of this paper. Methods. Longitudinal method has been used during the long experiment on defendants’ socialization providing them with higher education. Quantitative measures have been carried out on the basis of monitoring and the statistic data of comparative analysis of its standard-valuable characteristics of the trainable and non-trainable defendants. Expert estimations of correctional officers and teachers or tutors of the higher school (the Modern University for the Humanities) and in-depth interviews with former defendants ended high school have been used too. Results and scientific novelty. The phenomenon essence of penal isolation is found out. The external and internal factors defining the process of defendants’ socialization/desocialization in correctional institution are mentioned. Religion and penal education are highlighted as the most effective and positive factors. The principles of person’s rehabilitation on the basis of getting higher education by defendants are formulated: the extremity principle, the congruence principal, the balance principle between the personal isolation and social communication. The compensatory mechanism of social-psychological defendant’s alienation and the innovative mechanism of process management of their positive socialization are described. The authors of the research present the results of their own program realization for the prisoner’s socialization that has successfully passed approbation in 33 correctional institutions of the Samara region. Practical significance. The authors of the present study hope that their experience on overcoming of socially-psychological barriers of defendants’ socialization, corrections of their behaviour, preventive maintenance of criminal displays recidivism will receive more a widespread occurrence and will allow the persons serving the sentence to gain an opportunity of a worthy life in the society Цель статьи – представить авторскую концепцию исправления и развития личности осужденных. Пенитенциарная система в том виде, в каком она пребывает сейчас, вместо ресоциализации инициирует десоциализацию личности, т. е. изоляция людей, преступивших закон, не способствует их исправлению и перевоспитанию. При внешней макроизоляции от социума осужденный при всем желании не может изолироваться от криминогенного микросоциума закрытого учреждения, где он отбывает наказание. Длительное пребывание в таком положении часто приводит к разрушению нормативно-ценностной сферы личности и рецидиву асоциального поведения. Авторами публикации предлагается один из возможных вариантов положительной социализации в экстремальных условиях заключения – предоставление осужденным возможности дистанционного профессионального обучения в высшем учебном заведении. Методы. В ходе продолжительного эксперимента по социализации осужденных посредством получения ими высшего образования использовался лонгитюдный метод исследования. Количественные измерения проводились на основе мониторинга и статических данных компаративного анализа нормативно-ценностных характеристик у обучающихся и необучающихся осужденных. Использовались экспертные оценки сотрудников исправительных учреждений и преподавателей высшей школы (Современной гуманитарной академии), а также глубинные интервью с бывшими осужденными, окончившими вуз. Основные результаты и научная новизна. Вскрыта суть феномена пенитенциарной изоляции. Обозначены внешние и внутренние факторы, определяющие процесс социализации / десоциализации осужденного в исправительном учреждении. Среди них как наиболее действенные и позитивные выделены религия и пенитенциарное образование. Сформулированы принципы коррекции личности на основе получения заключенным высшего образования: принцип экстремальности, принцип конгруэнтности, принцип баланса персональной изоляции и социальной коммуникации. Описаны механизм компенсации социально-психологического отчуждения осужденного и инновационный механизм управления процессом его позитивной социализации. Представлены результаты реализации разработанной на основе авторской концепции программы социализации заключенных, которая прошла успешную апробацию в 33 исправительных учреждениях Самарской области. Практическая значимость. Авторы статьи надеются, что их опыт преодоления социально-психологических барьеров социализации осужденных, коррекции их поведения, профилактики рецидивов криминальных проявлений получит более широкое распространение и позволит лицам, отбывающим наказание, обрести перспективу достойной жизни в обществе
