The paper studies the mobilization of non-military science, suffering of internal crisis. The aims of such a mobilization are: to perform a complex of vital scientiic and technical tasks set within the military-industrial complex, to enable import substitution in the non-military sectors, due to the external economic sanctions, and to develop perspective research directions. It is shown, with some examples of the decision-making low speed within the science infrastructure development and dealing with talented youth, that the current R&D regulators' passiveness is unacceptable under new conditions. The analysis of the President of Russia May decrees and a series of his instructions revealed the soft model of the science mobilization, which, in case of its failure, will be replaced by a hard scenario. The necessary conditions for the non-military science hard mobilization start are deined, including the centralization of inancial resources, a moratorium on the multiplicity of research funding sources and the traditional R&D contest. The formation of an "emergency" state authority is contemplated in purpose of the non-military science mobilization and achieving the goals of the mobilization period. The mobilization format of the state task for universities is proposed, as an instrument of University science mobilization.

Roundtable Discussion «Post graduate study and its role in growing of human resources in science and technology» The current model of human resources development in S&T in Russian Federation is regarded as centralized and untargeted. It doesn't allow to develop human resources in S&T that causes ineffective expenditures of federal budget. At 1995–2012 «the postgraduate bubble» made scholastic degree less elitist. The government approach to limit allocation for post-graduate school causes untargeted youth development and forming ineffective curriculum that doesn't have global trends compliance. The lack of selective approach at enrollment in graduate school causes a small percentage of successful thesis defense and low quality of thesis research. The submitted approach to improving of human resources development in S&T in Russia allows to use decentralized model of targeted post-graduate school. This type of school split all the graduate students into 5 streams: federal, regional, fund, corporate, personal. The lows have difference by future work places of graduate school students; by sources of inancing of studying; by mechanism to determine the total number of student in post-graduates school and by disciplinary ields; by order of competitive selection of graduate students and determining the organizations that provide development in graduate school; by postgraduate commitment to conclude an employment contract with an interested employer organization. Human resources development with the involvement of the budget is carried out only for three streams: federal, regional, fund. The future needs monitoring system of highly qualiied personnel proposed to ensure the functioning of the decentralized model of targeted postgraduate of federal, regional and fund streams.

This study elucidates on strength of social capital in civil society with respect to effort to preserve public space for natural disaster refugees in light of the deterioration of the ability of the state to accomplish civil rights obligation. The analysis began with a study on the characteristics of a failed state. The state can be categorized as failed state if it fulfills three characteristics which are: 1) the negligence in fulfilling civil rights obligations; 2) the disposition of aggressive behaviors; and 3) the intensification of democracy deficit. On the basis of the failed state paradigm, this o the study subsequently moved toward to the focal point, which was that was divided into three parts. The first part examined the paradigm of basic essence in the national constitution and legislation on disasters, relating to public welfare. The second parts discussed the phenomenon of Mt. Merapi's eruption including the chronology of event which in part was responsible for the large number of refugees. The third pat elaborated on the best practice, which where adopted by Posko Mandiri Kadiosoka, as a forum that was established to deal with relief and assistance and service originally intended to fulfill basic rights of refugees. The erosion of social capital capacity in the long term, coupled with and decline in the role of the state as the basic rights handling disasters has seriously limited the independence of civil society in Posko Mandiri Kadiosoko.
