In the paper titled "Борьба с пандемией в Финляндии: бесполезные уроки?" (Fighting the pandemic in Finland: useless lessons?), the researchers provide a detailed overview of how the state reacted to the emergency, what measures were undertaken, how the decisions are made, and when will the restrictions be lifted. They conclude, that even though the Finnish strategy seems to be efficient, it is not likely to be borrowed by states with a different political system. However, some things from Finnish experience can still be taken into account.
Introduction. This paper presents a comparative analysis of intellectual development and civil identity. Students studying at different socio-cultural environments demonstrate intellectual variability in relation to different levels of civil identity. The study provides new data on the relationship among the level of acceptance, personal traits characterizing social capital, and the structure and level of intelligence in individuals with different socio-cultural conditions. Methods. The level of intelligence was measured using the Test of Adults' Mental Development (TAMD), which relied on the concept of a socio-psychological standard (SPS). The Diagnosis of Civil Identity projective technique was employed for studying civil identity. The technique included the following scales: (a) attitude towards the rights of ethnic minorities; (b) attitude towards the rights of sexual minorities; (c) attitude towards liberal values; (d) attitude towards political rights; (e) attitude towards the rights of the underprivileged; (f) attitude towards the rights of disabled persons; (g) attitude towards Russia in terms of patriotism (citizens' attitude towards the state they live in). Results. A higher level of intellectual development determined students' reflexive and critical attitude towards events in the country. Students with a high level of intellectual development (a) appreciated personal responsibility and freedom, (b) had a positive attitude towards the rights of ethnic minorities and legal protection of honor and dignity, and (c) evaluated the world on the basis of information from different sources. Discussion. In Moscow social medium intelligence contributes to students' positive attitude towards liberal values and enhances their participation in democratic transformations in Russia. A higher level of intellectual development determines students' recognition of the rights of national and ethnic minorities in a regional social medium. ; Введение. Представлен сравнительный анализ показателей интеллектуального развития и гражданской идентичности. Описана вариативность интеллектуального развития в соотношении с различными уровнями гражданской идентичности у студентов, обучающихся в разных социокультурных средовых условиях. Новизна исследования: получены новые данные – о взаимосвязи между уровнем принятия и спецификой иерархии личностных черт, характеризующих социальный капитал и уровнем и структурой интеллекта индивидов, различающихся социокультурными условиями. Методы. В разделе описываются методики: 1)для диагностики уровня интеллекта «Тест умственного развития взрослых» (ТУРВ), разработанный на основе концепции социально-психологического норматива (СПН); 2)для изучения гражданской идентичности – проективная методика «Диагностика гражданской идентичности». Задания методики распределены по следующим шкалам:1)отношение к правам этнических меньшинств; 2)отношение к правам сексуальных меньшинств; 3)отношение к либеральным ценностям; 4)отношение к политическим правам; 5)отношение к правам обездоленных; 6)отношение к правам лиц с ограниченными возможностями; 7)отношение к России (данная шкала имеет отношение к патриотизму, характеризуя отношение граждан к государству, в котором они проживают, и его месту в мире). Результаты.Доказано, что чем выше уровень интеллектуального развития, тем более рефлексивно-критическое отношение студентов к происходящим событиям в стране. Высокоинтеллектуальные студенты ценят личную ответственность и свободу, позитивно относятся к правам меньшинств, к правовым формам защиты чести и достоинства, стремятся формировать оценочную позицию в отношении к миру, используя разнообразную информацию, полученную из разных источников. Обсуждение результатов. Делается вывод, что вусловиях московского социума интеллект способствует позитивному отношению студентов к ценностям либерального характера и усиливает их причастность к демократическим преобразованиям в России. В провинциальном социуме с повышением уровня интеллектуального развития у студентов возрастает уровень признания прав национальных и этнических меньшинств.
The analysis of pragmatic characteristics of linguistic means, manifesting democratic and authoritarian styles of pedagogical communication, is carried out. The material of the research was the original scripts of the feature films "Dead Poets Society" ("Society of Dead Poets", 1989) and "Mona Lisa Smile" ("Mona Lisa's smile", 2003). The following research methods such as conceptual analysis, interpretive analysis and pragmassemantic analysis were used. The aim of the work is to study the pragmalinguistic characteristics of pedagogical communication styles. The topic of the work seems to be relevant, since, on the one hand, there is an increased interest of linguists in the study of various aspects of pedagogical discourse, and on the other hand, pedagogical communication styles have not been sufficiently studied from a pragmalinguistic point of view. The democratic and authoritarian styles of pedagogical communication are considered. It has been established that each of them is characterized by a certain set of means, manifesting democracy and authoritarianism at the pragmalinguistic level. The revealed speech acts allow to characterize the communication styles of teachers as democratic or authoritarian. As a result of the analysis of the factual material, markers of the democratic and authoritarian styles of pedagogical communication were revealed. It was found that the democratic style of communication is manifested with the help of speech acts that perform an inspirational (inspirational) function, such as praise, imperatives (calls for value-related actions), declarative (proclamation of certain values); through a speech act of advice as well as a joke. The markers of the authoritarian style of communication include directive speech acts (warnings about punishment, bordering on a threat, requirements for compliance with established rules, orders, prohibitions, recommendations) and a speech act of teaching.
