The dynamic development of various information technologies, the formation of a single information space, the spread of modern high-tech tools that provide constant access to communication channels attracts the attention of scientists today to political communication and its impact on the political consciousness and political behavior of citizens. The diverse information that a person receives through numerous political communication channels contributes to the formation of stereotypes, simplifying the representation through the imposition of stamps, attributing to other people, groups, phenomena certain qualities, images that this being or group in our imagination and consciousness possesses, but which they may not possess or do not possess in the real environment. Consideration of stereotypes is associated with the study of the phenomenon of stereotyping as a process of reducing concepts to stereotypes. Stereotyping in modern socio-political conditions is advisable to study through the political stereotype as a component of political consciousness and political culture. In order to understand the mechanisms of political stereotype formation, it is necessary to consider logical, cognitive and associative thinking. Stereotyping is successful when there is a continuous cognitive genesis of the audience, the process of accumulation in the mass consciousness of appropriately organized information, as well as the accumulation of necessary social attitudes. Cognitive genesis leads to the assimilation of both the content elements and the necessary logical and linguistic operations with these elements. The most important of the mechanisms of political stereotype formation is the mechanism of causal attribution – the attribution to objects of properties that they do not have due to causal deficit – lack of reliable information. Political messages – elements of political communication – play an important role in the deficit or vice versa excess of information. Circulating in the communication system, the message is formed in the minds of citizens simplified representations, which eventually transform into stereotypes. Thus, the political stereotype becomes a tool of manipulation in the process of political communication. The communication environment accustoms a person to the existence of an abstract “other”, against which a template is built, saturated with verbal images – a new environment for the formation of political stereotypes as the simplest way to influence the political consciousness of the citizen. Keywords: political stereotype, political communication, communication channels, information, stereotyping.

Nowadays, computer technology and social media can be used in certain ways to create positive or negative images of political communicators. More and more people receive political communication with the use of electronic devices via the Internet and social media. The ways in which one can create and transmit images of political communicators have evolved. Companies use new methods of gaining and delivering political information to receivers. At present, information technology is sometimes used not only to send political information but also to manipulate the receivers and change their political views in the fight for support and to win elections. Electronic devices, the Internet and social media, can be used to gain support or to defame political opponents. This paper has been written to bring closer how social media participation, computer technology and software can be utilized to obtain information which then, neatly tailored, can serve as a tool to manipulate political views of addressees of political communication. This article presents the procedure of obtaining, processing and applying information in creating images of politicians by private companies. It also analyzes people’s awareness of ways in which social media communication can be used in creation of political image. Hence, a survey has been conducted to research the participation of university students in social media and their awareness of how the data obtained from them can be used in for political reasons. The paper also explains how incorporating and combining social media platforms, psychology, algorithms, the Internet and cutting edge computer software opened new ways to impact political views with political communication.

The paper highlights the changes in the requirements for training of engineering personnel in connection with the rapid development of new machine-building technologies. Along with traditional engineering knowledge and skills, this training should provide the development of students’ competencies in the field of computer technology for design automation, production preparation. It is noted that the rich practical experience of engineers and teachers of the older generation in new conditions becomes obsolete; they can hardly acquire the rapidly changing computer systems of scientific research of subject areas, new technologies, such as 3D graphics and engineering analysis of structures, the system digitalization of production technologies as a whole. To train specialists of a new generation, technical universities should provide: modern educational and laboratory facilities including various computer and controller systems; applicants who have sufficient basic background and technical aptitude; high-skilled teaching staff specialized in modern computer technology willing to upgrade their teaching skills and personal qualifications. The paper dwells on the state support measures for universities to improve personnel training for high-tech industries, which include as a priority the system of personnel training for the military-industrial complex. The authors present an accumulated experience of the Aerospace Institute of the Orenburg State University in the area of stage-by-stage construction of modern educational and laboratory facilities, the formation of student contingent, retraining and raising qualification of the teaching staff, interaction with employers and partners.

The environmental and social role of closed oriental balconies (Mashrabiyas) remains a significant vernacular aspect of Middle Eastern architecture. However, nowadays this traditional Islamic window element with its characteristic latticework is used to cover entire buildings as an oriental ornament, providing local identity and a sun-shading device for cooling. In fact, designers have reinvented this vernacular Islamic wooden structure into high-tech responsive daylight systems – often on a massive scale and using computer technology – not only to cover tall buildings as an oriental ornament, but also as a major responsive daylight system.It is possible to use the traditional architectural Islamic elements of the Middle East for problem solving design solutions in present-day architecture. The potential for achieving these solutions lies in the effective combination of the design concepts of the traditional elements with new smart materials and technologies. Hence, modern mashrabiyas could be a major responsive daylight system. Contextual information drawn from relevant theory, ethnography and practice is used to form a methodological framework for the modern mashrabiyas with high-tech responsive daylight systems. The main results set boundaries for the viability of computer technology to produce mashrabiyas and promote a sustainable way of reviving their  use within Middle Eastern buildings.

Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. A high-tech medical arts building rises from the east end, the county's historic three-story courthouse is two blocks to the west and sandwiched in between is the First Church of Christ, Scientist. A verse inscribed on the wall behind the pulpit of the church reads: “Divine Love Always Has Met and Always Will Meet Every Human Need.” This is the church where William and Christine Hermanson worshipped. It is just a few steps away from the courthouse where they were convicted of child abuse and third-degree murder for failing to provide conventional medical care for their seven-year-old daughter.This Article is about the intersection of “divine love” and “the best interests of the child.” It is about a pluralistic society where the dominant culture reveres medical science, but where a religious minority shuns and perhaps fears that same medical science. It is also about the struggle among different religious interests to define the legal rights of the citizenry.
