The article is about the features of the socio-economic control as a form of social control. The author reveals specific methods of socio-economic control, which applicable to different control objects. Particular attention is paid to methods of solving problems arising in the implementation of socio-economic control.

Abstract. This article provides an overview of the three main approaches to raising‐to‐object sentences likeCindy believes Marcia to be a genius. The article describes the strengths and challenges faced by these accounts, reaching a number of conclusions. First, the covert ''LF'' raising account, though successful at accounting for certain interpretational facts about the construction, does not provide an analysis of the word‐order facts. Second, the overt raising account, which can account for the word order facts, still faces two main challenges; there remain important open questions about verb placement, and though none of the current approaches to extraction can easily explain it, extraction and raising‐to‐object interact in complex ways that are still not well understood. Third, the movement theory of control, which treats object control in a way parallel to overt raising‐to‐object, faces not only the challenges to the overt raising account, but several others particular to object control. Finally, the article describes the HPSG analysis of raising‐to‐object, which can account straightforwardly for the word order facts, and with the appropriate constraints can be extended to account for the extraction facts discussed.

This article considers the significance of a web-based experimental project that aims to discover how social work might be displayed and demonstrated via a collection of Objects. An open access approach invited participants to 'donate' an object and to tell the story of how and why the object connects them to social work. The aim is to find a way to express the contested nature of social work in a more immediate and accessible way than text book definitions can achieve.
The experiment is quantitatively successful (more than 150 objects from 25 different countries); in qualitative terms, the objects donated to the website have elicited a very broad range of themes in entertaining and engaging ways. The exhibition has 'toured' to many countries where it proves to be adaptive to cultural differences and gives rise to spontaneous object donation, thus proving its relevance and immediacy. Understanding social work via Objects has been used successfully to teach students about the contested nature of social work theory and practice.

This paper is an investigation into the metaphysics of social objects such as political borders, states, and organizations. I articulate a metaphysical puzzle concerning such objects and then propose a novel account of social objects that provides a solution to the puzzle. The basic idea behind the puzzle is that under appropriate circumstances, seemingly concrete social objects can apparently be created by acts of agreement, decree, declaration, or the like. Yet there is reason to believe that no concrete object can be created in this way. The central idea of my positive account is that social objects have a normative component to them, and seemingly concrete social objects have both normative and material components. I develop this idea more rigorously using resources from the Aristotelian hylomorphic tradition. The resulting normative hylomorphic account, I argue, solves the puzzle by providing a satisfying explanation of creation-by-agreement and the like, while also avoiding the difficulties facing extant accounts of social objects.

Presents a clear and structured analysis of the Philosophy of Social Science across each of its main disciplines: Anthropology, Sociology, History, Economics and Geography. Using a range of examples from specific social sciences, the book both identifies the practical and theoretical procedures involved in the identification of the object and, at the same time, raises questions about the very objectivity of these procedures in analyzing the object

The article is aimed at developing a systematic understanding of trust as an object of management when waging cognitive wars. The study is based on the hypothesis that with the growing complexity of identifying the truth of information against the backdrop of exponential growth in its volume, as well as the complexity of information technology, the most adequate countermeasure may be the trust of subjects of information interaction. The presence of such a hypothesis dictates the need to consider the phenomenon of trust as an object of management, as well as existing and promising mechanisms of influence on trust. The article structures the main factors influencing the formation of social trust and systematizes the idea of the types of objects of influence when waging a hybrid war. Based on the analysis of the results of research into the phenomenon of trust and the factors influencing it, a structural diagram of information management of trust is presented, where social trust is shown as the object of management, and informational and cultural aspects of the formation of trust are selected as regulating elements. The article also identifies groups of goals, objects and groups of indicators of negative information impact on trust factors, and proposes approaches to identifying the presence of such impact. The example shows that modern information technologies are an effective tool for influencing the level of trust between people, due to the intensive impact on the cognitive sphere of a person.
