The paper dwells on the linguo-culturological study of the conceptual world view of the inhabitants of northern regions. This study is based on a comparative analysis of the regional press discourse in Murmansk region and Norway with data obtained through the associative experiments in the above-mentioned regions. The purpose of this research is defined as a comparative study of the world view specifics that native speakers of different languages and cultures living in the Arctic region have.Methodology. The following research methods were used in the work: elements of the content analysis of the regional mass media texts in order to identify key concepts; contextual analysis of regional newspaper discourse; associative experiment; quantitative processing of materials; comparative analysis and interpretation of the data obtained.Results. The conducted research allowed:1. to indentify the key concepts of the conceptual world picture of the north Russia (Murmansk region) and Norway inhabitants, based on the analysis of newspaper discours;2. to determine the content and structure of one of the key concepts POLITICS and its representation in the minds of representatives of different languages and cultures (on the basis of associative experiments);3. to clarify the influence of socio-political discourse on the content and structure of cultural representations among residents of the Arctic region.Practical implications. It is assumed that the materials of this study can be relevant and in demand in the field of comparative cultural studies, intercultural communication, as well as in the sphere of socio-political planning and forecasting.

Feminism and social work ideology are shown to be closely related in principle, but the application of the ideology is questioned. A case is made for a "feminist world view" in social work to facilitate evaluation of the essence of content across curriculum, practice, programs, and policy making.

Introduction. A well-developed infrastructure is key to the success of any business or country. It stimulates economic development, cost reduction, mobility and access to basic services. In order to speed up the development of infrastructure, governments around the world have turned to a tool such as the Public Private Partnership (PPP). PPPs can be initiated either by a public party, which involves competitive bidding (solicited proposals), or by a private investor, in which case the mechanism is called unsolicited proposals (USP). This article attempts to conceptualise the validity of the practical implementation of USP in PPPs. It focuses on identifying the motives of the parties, the organisational mechanisms used, and the benefits and limitations of USP. The study takes into account existing world practice and data from peer-reviewed scientific journals.Methods. The study is based on a literature review of peer-reviewed scientific articles indexed in citation databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and eLibrary.Ru. In addition, data from open sources such as the Rosinfra reports and the World Bank Group's "Private Participation in Infrastructure" database have been used.Results. The analysis showed that the results of USP are associated with (1) a number of conflicting motives of public and private parties, (2) the specificities of the organisational approach, and (3) a possible set of positive or negative outcomes. This explains, in our view, the uneven use of USP by groups of countries with different levels of economic development. As a result, we propose the conceptual scheme of the use of USP in PPPs.Discussion. The results are in line with the data of other researchers and point to the potential and prospects for further use of USP in PPPs. Further research will be devoted to collecting and processing statistical data on the results of UPS in a number of countries. This will allow a more rational approach to the development of organisational and management mechanisms for the implementation of PPP projects based on USP. This will ensure maximum socio-economic impact.

Statement of the problem. Political will as extralinguistic factor, which is embodied in language policy could destroy linguistic unity when it becomes an obstacle to national self–determination is contrary to the interests of the new communities and their ruling elites. The current language situation in Ukraine is the result of a long war against the national identity and nationhood. It happened on the territory of Yugoslavia, where former Serbo–Croatian linguistic unity evolved towards disintegration, ie the formation of two separate languages. If there is no clear policy choices, the language itself as a communication tool and a form of culture can be a factor of national unity. The aim of the paper is identify ways to overcome the language problem, given the linguistic and conceptual world view.Conclusions. Currently, modern society is multi–ethnic and is creating multilingual requires dialogue. If the majority guarantees the rights and freedoms of minorities, including the right to meet their linguistic and cultural interests and the minority in turn respect the right of the majority to conduct their own cultural and linguistic policy, then there is harmony in the society. If tolerance to the needs of each level of government may build a civil society. ; Сделана попытка выявить возможности решения языковых проблем, учитывая языковую и концептуальную картины мира. ; Зроблено спробу виявити шляхи подолання мовної проблеми, враховуючи мовну та концептуальну картини світу.

The article is devoted to a philosophical heritage of a well-known native Russian philosopher V.P. Kokhanovsky. This work represents the analysis of ideas and principles of dialectics in epistemological models of the world, that were conceptually shaped by the Rostov scientist. Also this thesis identifies the contribution of the thinker to development of historical-philosophical knowledge. The author of the article mentions the role of professor V.P. Kokhanovsky in development of philosophical education in the higher school.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to contribute to defining the tasks necessary to process management, considering both conceptual and practical views.Design/methodology/approachBibliographic review for tasks mentioned as typically necessary to process management, plus a field survey involving professionals working in process management.FindingsThe bibliographic review yielded a set of tasks that were grouped conceptually into "designing processes", "managing processes from day to day" and "fostering process‐related learning". These groups were then validated with practioners as valid constructs. The field survey produced two major findings: the first underlining the practical importance of the tasks identified as necessary to process management and the second demonstrating that most organizations where the study participants work are structured functionally, but have practices for managing cross‐functional processes or "end‐to‐end process". The conceptual and practical comparison brings to light gaps between authors and professionals.Research limitations/implicationsThere is significant variation in the job positions and sectors occupied by the group studied and the sample is not random, given that all are enrolled in postgraduate process management programs and thus share an interest in the subject.Practical implicationsOrganizations can identify tasks that are necessary and important to process management and have an instrument (the questionnaire) for deciding how best to manage processes. Where functional management of cross‐functional processes is found, this recommends developing organizational solutions to upgrade the capacity for coordination among activities without necessarily introducing changes in organizational structure.Originality/valueThe paper describes an unprecedented study and helps clarify what needs to be done to manage processes.
