An Index of Sociocultural Development constructed by principal‐components analysis correlated highly with the logarithm of precivilized societies' scores on Carneiro's Index of Cultural Accumulation, with the results of a Thurstone‐type Latent‐Distance analysis and with the logarithm of the maximum population of residential settlements in societies. It is suggested that the Indices of Sociocultural Development and Cultural Accumulation measure essentially the same concept on different scales but that the latter index also contains a small independent component, "Cultural Elaboration," which it would be worth extracting by a suitable multivariate technique in order to study it separately.
By scaling eighteen of the traits previously found to be important indicators of societal development, the author's Index of Sociocultural Development was brought closer to the status of an equal‐interval ratio scale. Its relation to the logarithm of settlement population as a criterion of societal development was thereby linearised and attained a correlation coefficient of 0.969. Its characteristic exponential relationship with Carneiro's Index of Cultural Accumulation, previously given a theoretical interpretation, was unaffected. In the process of standardizing and validating the Index, it was found that male‐dominant and equidominant societies had significantly different settlement populations and scale sequences of developmental traits. The basis of a standard procedure for obtaining ratings of sociocultural traits suitable for use in the Index is described.

"This comparative attempt, intended for postgraduates and scholars of Eastern-Central Europe, investigates the political, economic, and cultural landscape of Habsburg Galicia and the Romanian Kingdom in the second half of the 19th century. Often, in historiography and in public sphere alike, the two cases under study have been separately regarded as contexts that provided atypical answers to modernity, and parts of a region that has been regarded as atypical in itself. Recently, efforts have been made to integrate each of the cases in a post-imperial paradigm, identifying the complex interactions between their socio-political modernisation and historical memory. This book continues this trend by investigating for the first time the two cases together, as parts of a space of alterity, as labs of shifting ideologies and labels. The public figures and the institutions depicted in the book are physically located in Central and in Eastern Europe, but by sometimes competing experiences they are illustrative for several identities and historical realms, local, regional, and continental. Secondly, the current work addresses dilemmas related to nationalism and nation-building, for the sake of separating those discourses which reflected on civic nationalism from those which directed the public mind to the values of ethnic nationalism"--
Recent studies of regional economic development of the Soviet Union have suggested that since 1958, Soviet union republics have become less equal in their levels of industrialization, share of investments, and living standards. This paper assesses the degree to which equality of social and cultural development characterizes Soviet ethnic groups and union republics. Drawing aggregate data chiefly from the 1926, 1959, and 1970 Soviet censuses, the analysis shows that: (1) relative variation (inequality) in the sociocultural development of Soviet nationalities has declined continuously and markedly over time on measures of education and occupational structure, but that large inter-nationality disparities remain in the development of skilled manpower; (2) inter-nationality variation in family role structures has been slower to decline than differences in education and appears to follow a curvilinear pattern: for a time during the Soviet era, inter-nationality differencesincreasedbut have been followed recently by significant declines. Furthermore, it is shown that (3) on the average the sociocultural development of union republic populations well exceeds the development of the indigenous nationalities in these republics.
Cameiro's Index of Cultural Accumulation related exponentially to the author's Index of Sociocultural Development. The relationship follows mathematically, as an "exponential cultural growth law," from the assumption that cultural traits diversify at a constant proportional rate with successive increments of sociocultural development, though the rate may vary from one society to another. This variation is hypothetically dependent upon a factor of Cultural Surgency, such that relative over‐elaboration of a culture is associated with freedom of emotional cathexis permitted by its norms. Statistical tests on a number of cultural traits supported the hypothesis.
The problem of sociocultural development of mankind is comprehensively researched in the work. The contemporary approaches to the interpretation of the concept of culture and sociocultural development, the importance of their application to the study of socio-political processes are analyzed. There was proposed the structure of factors and trends ofsociocultural development, as well as the importance of each of them. The author made an attempt to determine the interconnectedness of trends ща sociocultural development, to prove the impact of globalization and transformation processes on it. Particular attention is paid to globalization and transformation processes, their specifics of manifestation and impact on other trends in social development. The factors of sociocultural development of Ukrainian society in the context of its transition to an innovative model of development are studied. Further development processes are predicted. General methods were used: normative-value method, dialectical, historical, systemic; logical methods: induction, modeling; methods of political analysis: method of mathematical modeling and forecasting, applied political analysis, scenario method. ; У роботі комплексно досліджена проблема соціокультурного розвитку людства.

Purpose of Research. The purpose of the research is to analyse the transformations of intellectual property in the paradigm of the sociocultural development of a society. Methodology. The methodology of the research is based on general scientific and special methods (analytical, comparative- legal, systemic, attributive, procedural and cognitive). The author uses all of them to reproduce the intellectual potential of the society, which demands the improved permanent national appropriate regulation in the process of expanding its status from socioeconomic and legal state to sociocultural one. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the determination and appropriate researching of the intellectual property as the sociocultural phenomenon. Conclusions. The evolution of intellectual property in Ukraine led to its qualitative transformation at the end XX – the beginning of XXI centuries. We can explain it by the fact that the intellectual property has been formed as the self-sufficient specific scientific category. In addition, it has become the independent object of the scientific reflection with its branches. Moreover, it has entered the scientific space as well as the conceptual field of modern humanities researches. Therefore, it allows us to expand the understanding of the mul-tidimensional concept of the intellectual property as the socioculturalphenomenon. ; Цель – проанализировать трансформирование интеллектуальной собственности в парадигме социокультур-ного развития общества. Методология исследования основана на общенаучных и специальных методах (среди кото-рых аналитический, сравнительно-правовой, системный, атрибутивный, процессуальный, когнитивный) с целью вос-произведения интеллектуального потенциала общества, который в процессе расширения своего статуса от социально-экономического и правового до социокультурного требует более совершенного постоянного общегосудар- ственного учета и соответствующего регулирования. Научная новизна заключается в обосновании и соответствую- щем исследовании интеллектуальной собственности как социокультурного феномена. Выводы. Эволюция интеллек-туальной собственности в конце ХХ – начале XXI в., в частности в Украине, обусловила ее качественную трансформацию. Это проявилось в том, что интеллектуальная собственность сформировалась как самодостаточная специфическая научная категория, стала самостоятельным объектом научного осмысления, что имеет внутреннее направление научных изысканий. При этом она уверенно вошла не просто в научное пространство, но и в концепту-альное поле современных гуманитарных исследований. Все это дает основания расширить спектр понимания много-мерного понятия интеллектуальной собственности как социокультурного феномена. ; Мета – проаналізувати трансформацію інтелектуальної власності в парадигмі соціокультурного розвитку суспільства. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на загальнонаукових та спеціальних методах (серед яких аналітичний, порівняльно-правовий, системний , атрибутивний, процесуальний, когнітивний) з метою відтворення інтелектуального потенціалу суспільства, який у процесі розширення свого статусу від соціально-економічного і правового до соціокультурного вимагає більш досконалого постійного загальнодержавного врахування та відпо-відного регулювання. Наукова новизна полягає у обґрунтуванні та відповідному дослідженні інтелектуальної власності як соціокультурного феномена. Висновки. Еволюція інтелектуальної власності наприкінці ХХ – на по-чатку ХХІ ст., зокрема в Україні, зумовила її якісну трансформацію. Це проявилося у тому, що інтелектуальна власність сформувалася як самодостатня специфічна наукова категорія, стала самостійним об'єктом наукового осмислення, що має внутрішні напрями наукових пошуків. При цьому вона впевнено увійшла не просто у науко-вий простір, а й у концептуальне поле сучасних гуманітарних досліджень. Все це дає підстави розширити спектр розуміння багатовимірного поняття інтелектуальної власності як соціокультурного феномена.
Spatial development is one of the factors in the formation of society, and the policy of conscious spatial development is the most important component of transitions to new technological and sociocultural ways of life. The article deals with the problem of theoretical understanding of spatial development, as well as the author's concept of its study and approach to the formation of relevant policies. The author proposes distinguishing between "developed" societies, capable of purposefully shaping their own space, and "undeveloped" ones, capable only of adapting to spontaneous changes in their own space. In the political sense, the task of spatial development is to form, through a complex impact on society, stable systemic integral formations of joint life activity. The article highlights two strategies for spatial development — revolutionary and evolutionary. Along with them, the author proposes using the concept of the cultural diversity of society as a tool for analyzing sociocultural environments. According to the author's approach, it is necessary to study the sociocultural environment in a particular territory as a unique composition of social practices, historically self-reproducing on the basis of typological cultural patterns — traditional, modern, and communicative. The author comes to the conclusion that spatial development strategies focused only on one cultural pattern lead to the fact that part of the population starts to perceive the policy of implementing spatial development programs as alien to them, and this creates additional tension in the processes of transformation of societies. Therefore, in the process of deploying spatial development projects, along with economic studies on the characteristics of social space, it is necessary to conduct studies of the cultural patterns that are inherent in the people who form it. The author believes that the harmonization of social practices that are formed on the basis of and within the framework of various cultural patterns is one of the tasks of the policy of spatial development and a factor in the sustainability of society. Therefore, cultural policy should imply comprehensive support for the development of all cultural patterns on the basis of a dialogue of cultures. Regulators from different modes of life provide social communication and exchange on the scale of familial, tribal, communal integrity, as well as on the scale of nation-state and global communities. Therefore, their support is necessary for the reproduction of society in present-day conditions.
This article considers the theoretical and practical issues of sociocultural competence of Ukrainian students of higher educational institutions; the priorities of the sociocultural education paradigm were analyzed; in this context, the issue of training future teachers to work in terms of a personality oriented teaching approach was presented.
On the basis of the analysis conducted on psycho-pedagogical and methodological literature that covers the raised problems, a number of methodological and pedagogical ideas which provide for the formation of social and cultural mobility of future teachers were determined in order to ensure pupils' sociocultural development
