The article presents the sociological and ethnological features (aspects) in the analysis of state ethnic politics. The possibilities of synthesis between sociological and ethnological methods in the process of analysis of state ethnic politics are determined. The relevance of the influence of sociological and ethnological aspects on the process of rational and prudent ethnic politics in the country in our time is analyzed. The definitions of sociology and ethnology and the sphere of their knowledge and scientific efficiency are given. Constructive derivatives during the synthesis of sociological and ethnological methods of cognition of society are found out. The work of foreign and Ukrainian scientists and researchers on state ethnic politics is considered. The historical process of the late nineteenth - twentieth centuries, which led humanity to the emergence of modern state-administrative issues and problems, is analyzed. The types of social structuring of societies and the social structure of modern Ukrainian society, which is considered to be the most acceptable and generally recognized, are defined as schemes. The ethnic structure of human society on the theory of ethnogenesis, proposed by LM Gumilev at the end of the twentieth century, and the author's vision of socio-ethnic structuring of societies in a schematic form are highlighted. The author presents a schematic view of one of the possible variants of the scientific vision of the ethno-social structuring of the societies of the world, including Ukrainian society. The logical definition of the important scientific term "nation" (nation) and the importance of universalizing the terminological and conceptual base in the analysis of national ethnic politics are presented. Conclusions have been made regarding the prospects for further development of public administration science.

Real Essence

The term ‘society’ is broader than ‘human society’. Many other species are described as possessing a social way of life. Yet mere gregariousness, of the kind found in a herd of cattle or a shoal of fish, is not enough to constitute a society. For the biologist, the marks of the social are cooperation (extending beyond cooperation between parents in raising young) and some form of order or division of labour. In assessing the merits of attempts to provide a more precise definition of society, we can ask whether the definition succeeds in capturing our intuitive understanding of the term, and also whether it succeeds in identifying those features of society which are most fundamental from an explanatory point of view – whether it captures the Lockean ‘real essence’ of society. One influential approach seeks to capture the idea of society by characterizing social action, or interaction, in terms of the particular kinds of awareness it involves. Another approach focuses on social order, seeing it as a form of order that arises spontaneously when rational and mutually aware individuals succeed in solving coordination problems. Yet another approach focuses on the role played by communication in achieving collective agreement on the way the world is to be classified and understood, as a precondition of coordination and cooperation.

The article presents the elaborated analytical sociological approach that is aimed at the scientific study of the social determinants of the global crisis of the contemporary labor practices as sources of the new social conflicts, social risk and social tension. The importance of the further development of sociological researches which are aimed at creating a new conceptual base for understanding labor as the fundamental transcultural stimulus for the resource of development of the contemporary societies and as an important factor for supporting and strengthening of the integrative foundations of the social and public space is argued. It was stated that the process of creating of such conceptual base presupposes the more active introduction into scientific discourse of such concepts as «social space», «public space», «intercultural conflict», «social tension». The analysis of specialized concepts of social and public space that were developed in Western sociology in order to explain the specifics of conflict manifestations in individual and collective labor practices was carried out. The necessity of further development of scientific researchers of the new intercultural conflicts, manifestations of social risk and forms of social tension in individual and collective labor practices, which are reproduced in the multicultural public space of the contemporary societies, is proved. Underlined that the formation of intercultural conflicts in the system of labor practices is determined by the influence of constantly latent and protest forms of social tension, which are really the contradictory manifestations of strengthening both the processes of social exclusion and also the ineffective social inclusion of the working and unemployed population in the existing institutional systems of labor activity.

Background: Generic health literacy measurement (GHLM) is an important tool to identify individuals with limited health literacy and can assist the design of tailored interventions for improving public health literacy. However, there is no consensus on measuring generic health literacy. The present study aims to review current GHLM used for adults in the literature. Methods: A scoping review was undertaken to map the available measurements designed to assess generic health literacy. Results: The review identified 19 GHLM for adults. Most of them applied a multidimensional definition of health literacy with a focus on individuals’ abilities to access, appraise, understand, and apply health information and services. Nutbeam’s conceptual model and Sørensen’s integrated model were widely used among the identified measures as the theoretical foundation. While the social determinants of health (SDH) were acknowledged in the two models, it remains unmentioned in many of the identified measures based on the Nutbeam’s model and needs further development in the measure based on the Sørensen’s model. A total of 39 different domains were assessed in the 19 measurements: prose was identified in 8 measurements and was the most prominent domain; followed by numeracy (n = 7) and interactive (n = 7). SDH related domains such as social support (n = 3), social capital (n = 1) were seldom included in the identified measurements. Conclusions: Although current GHLM adopted a multidimensional construct, they mainly focused on individuals’ abilities and SDH has not been well-developed in the assessment. Further research is required to advance the measuring of the interaction between SDH and health literacy.

This article considers the incorporation of Prussians, Sudovians, and Scalovians who migrated to territories which were not theirs originally, into the social system of the State of the Teutonic Order between the 1280s and 1370s. The author examines the main aspects of this issue, i.e. property status and duties of migrants, with reference to data from 41 acts granted to them by the Order and the church, and the Chronicles written by Peter of Dusburg and Caspar Shuetz. The study of these data with the help of the prosopographical and historical and comparative methods makes it possible to determine the main directions of migration, number of migrants, size, and composition of their property and duties performed in relation to the Order and the church. The main regions for migration were Sambia and Pomesania, receiving 5 144 out of 5 166 persons. The choice of the regions was caused by the lack of local farmers that was the result of the devastation committed during the struggle of Prussians, Scalovians, and Sudovians with the expansion of the Order between 1260s and 1280s. Another reason was the remoteness of Sambia and Pomesania from the migrants’ native lands and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. On the one hand, it prevented possible union between the settlers and the Lithuanian rulers and, on the other hand, fostered communication between the migrants and the Order which guaranteed the former status in the new community. The incorporation of Prussians, Scalovians, and Sudovians was carried out by granting them fief or locator’s office and implied the definition of their rights and duties similar to those enjoyed by the local inhabitants. The migrants served in the military, paid taxes, had jurisdiction over their peasants, added unclaimed lands to their property, received permission to fish in the nearby waters, etc. These features testify to the successful incorporation of migrants into the new social system that contributed to a further development of the State of the Teutonic Order.

The article is devoted to the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. The subject of research – socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. The purpose of the study is to empirically study the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. Objectives of the study: to analyze the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties and using psychodiagnostic techniques to determine which socio-psychological features provoke the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. Particular attention is paid to the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. It is pointed out that in order to clarify the essence of deviant behavior, it is necessary to identify not only its external manifestations, but also the internal properties, without which it cannot exist. Any deviations (deviations) in human behavior are the result of inconsistency of his desires, aspirations, and claims with the social norms of the environment in which he operates: he lives, is brought up, studies and works. When a person does not agree or does not accept the demands of society, he challenges him in the form of any behavioral disorders, the content of which, of course, is determined by his physiological, psychological and social qualities. It can be noted that deviations in the adolescent environment (aggression, drug addiction, drunkenness, etc.) in their purpose, consequences differ significantly, say, from deviations among adults (criminal and economic crimes). Deviant behavior is defined as a personal challenge of a person, in particular, a teenager, to the social environment, which is caused by inconsistency between his personal demands and social requirements (norms, standards, rules, regulations) and is manifested by such social and behavioral actions and actions that are not approved (condemned)) close environment or society. The article describes the course and procedure of research organization. The results of research on each technique concerning definition of level of accentuation of character (Shmishek’s questionnaire), aggressiveness (Freiburg’s questionnaire), ways of mastering with difficult life situations are described (adaptation of the technique WCQ), level of hopelessness (Нореlеssnеss Sсаlе, Веck еt аl.). The conclusions indicate the socio-psychological features of the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. It is emphasized that unfavorable living and upbringing conditions in the family, problems of acquiring knowledge and related learning failures, inability to build relationships with others and conflicts arising on this basis, can lead to deviant behavior in adolescents. With the help of such psychodiagnostic techniques as character accentuations, aggression questionnaire, questionnaire of ways to master difficult life situations, the scale of hopelessness, it is determined which psychological features provoke the formation of deviant behavior in adolescents with learning difficulties. These are the presence of certain accentuations of character, the level of aggression above average and the methods that the teenager uses to master a difficult life situation. The conclusions reveal the prospects for further development.

This paper explores the role of time in Pierre Bourdieu’s social theory with a view to highlighting, and plugging, some of its conceptual gaps. It proceeds by identifying four elements of the social structuring of temporal experience: the temporal structure of consciousness; field rhythms and pace; imposed timings; and time binds. The first two of these Bourdieu brought to the fore, even if there are some aspects of his account in need of further development. The third he posited without tracing through the full conceptual consequences, while the fourth requires some reorientation and additional work to accommodate it. The latter I undertake by elaborating on a few concepts drawn from both Bourdieu’s corpus and phenomenology.

Insight Into

A program for person-centered intervention—Pathways to Empowerment (PTE)—is indebted to the social quality approach (SQA), which has been developed as its scientific foundation. It provides comprehensive insight into all sorts of factors that have an impact on the quality of the daily lives of persons who have lost control in their lives. In this article, we describe what puzzles were encountered in this developmental process, specifically with regard to the constitutional factors of social quality, which are strongly linked to biographical development and personal agency and thus are the focal points of person-centered care. This part of the SQA seems less developed and researched. We describe how we have further developed the conceptualization of the constitutional factors and their dialectical relationships with the conditional factors into a practical structure for PTE. We make a case for the further development of the constitutional factors of the theory, specifically the concept of personal agency. A plea is made for reviewing the definition of social quality.

The spiritual world is constrained passively by primitive urges. Similar to an uncultivated wasteland, it will necessarily breed messy plants. Most of the time we are imprisoned by the social environment, a narrow understanding of ourselves, and our own desires. This makes it difficult for life itself to truly shine and enjoy authentic vitality. People are the foundation of society. The fact that individuals are unable to rebuild the spiritual world makes it difficult for human society to achieve true growth. It is difficult for people to obtain real happiness and it is difficult for the rulers to achieve their long-cherished wishes. This article first presents an argument for why reconstruction is needed, accompanied by a proposal that faith is the basis for reconstruction. Additionally, I propose the concept of the Objective Belief of Nature. The crucial component of this belief is the need to pay less attention to ourselves and use love together with the laws of nature to promote the beautiful development of society. The purpose is to make people truly love themselves, so that they may enjoy vitality in their lives and achieve happiness (in the passive sense of happiness). Similarly, society has vitality because of the blossoming of everyone's life. Likewise, a society filled with vitality further promotes the blooming of everyone's life. Such a belief provides ideological and theoretical support for humankind's further development. The Objective Belief of Nature mainly emphasizes a belief; it does not reject or privilege any given form.

Ecological Worldview

The article attempts a broad (philosophical) definition of the concept of «environment». The relevance of this attempt is due to the fact that in the modern ecological discourse there is a narrow understanding of the environment, which is mainly reduced to the concept of nature. This one-dimensionality leads to the fact that the analysis of environmental problems does not take into account the multilateral dialectical interrelationships between a person and the whole environment in which he exists. Based on the philosophical and anthropological ideas of Karl Marx, the author shows that in the process of carrying out his activity (praxis), a person, entering into metabolic relations with nature (which acts as the «inorganic human body», his life means and an irreparable condition for his existence), transforms this nature (natürliche Welt) and thereby creates its «second nature» — the surrounding cultural environment (Umwelt). But since praxis is always carried out together with Others, relations with them form the world of people — the social environment (Mitwelt), which, being internalized in the psyche of the individual, forms his own world — the existential environment (Eigenwelt). Thus, the environment, understood in such a broad sense, is an integral, internally interconnected system of three worlds: animate and inanimate nature (natürliche Welt), material and spiritual culture (Umwelt) and human society (Mitwelt), through relations with which and there is a man and his own inner existential world (I, Eigenwelt). As a result, the author concludes that for a full-fledged and harmonious existence of a person himself, it is necessary, within the framework of a philosophical and ecological worldview and lifestyle, to treat with thrifty care not only the natural environment, but also human society and human culture, thanks to which a person exists as a person, for all these worlds — nature, society and culture — constitute the home (οἶκος) in which man lives.
