This paper examines the phenomenon of artificial intelligence subjectivity along with its cybernetic aspects. It explores various approaches to understanding and defining AI, starting with analyses of how the behavior of intelligent systems corresponds to human behavior patterns and extending to questions regarding the rationality of these systems’ actions. The works of N. Wiener, the founder of cybernetics, play a crucial role, as he established fundamental analogies between the functioning of living organisms and computational machines. These analogies are essential for understanding the nature of AI and its potential capabilities. The authors of this paper give particular attention to the functioning of AI and to discussions of its ability for self-learning and selfreproduction. The paper highlights AI's potential for self-development and adaptation to diverse conditions — these two features make it a key tool in modern technological innovation. It also analyzes the philosophical and sociological concept of AI subjectivity, suggesting that such systems may possess intelligence that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities, along with the capacity for autonomous learning and expansion. Building on Wiener’s ideas, humanity must determine the nature of interaction between humans and machines (including AI) and organize the distribution of functions between them optimally. The authors conclude that the effectiveness of public administration can be enhanced through a comprehensive approach to implementing new information and technological solutions. It is about using neural networks and AI systems, providing qualified specialists and legal regulatory mechanisms for public authorities, and considering sociocultural and psycho-emotional factors, along with technical equipment and methods of logical-semantic interpretation.

The paper explores the activities of civil organizations and their role in the social construction of antiterrorist meanings, focusing on the work of the Mothers of Beslan Committee a case study. The study methodology integrates theoretical frameworks from the sociology of reality construction (P. Berger, T. Luckmann), cultural trauma theory (J. Alexander), and the sociology of collective memory (M. Halbwachs). The methods include case studies and critical discourse analysis of the committee’s activities. The results of this study reveal that the committee acts as an agent of memory, truth, and diplomacy, creating narratives rooted in the rights of victims and firmly condemning terrorism. The study novelty is viewing an organization of terror victims as an active producer of meaning rather than a passive recipient of support. The paper discusses the various mechanisms through which alternative meanings are formed, including human rights advocacy, memorial practices, and diplomatic efforts, all set within the contemporary framework of state security. Such organizations play a crucial role in fostering a humanistic aspect of anti-terrorism culture, one that emphasizes memory, law, and compassion.

This paper focuses on diagnosing the degree of interiorization of traditional spiritual and moral values among middle and high school students. A theoretical basis for studies was the works of Russian sociologists and educators who explore the transformation of the value-normative system in contemporary Russian society. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a two-stage questionnaire survey conducted with an adapted version of the "Diagnostics of Students’ Value Orientations" methodology, which seeks to identify the alignment between students’ stated attitudes and their actual behaviors. The results of the study revealed a critically low level of internalization of traditional spiritual and moral values, as well as an ongoing axiological conflict in the minds of schoolchildren. This study underscores the necessity of transitioning from recognizing the value crisis to developing models aimed at the intentional social construction of traditional values within the educational context of Russian civil society. Future research will focus on creating and testing biframed educational environments, such as transformational games, as tools to facilitate the interiorization of these values. 

This paper examines the problem of starting of the Second World War and analyzes both Russian and foreign scientific research. These works are based on archival materials, including recently declassified documents, produced by well-known historians, political and public figures, international relations experts, and career diplomats. This study highlights a set of key foreign policy events that occurred during the 1930s and early 1940s, which significantly influenced global political developments. The authors of this paper identify the factors that led to the outbreak of the large-scale war, which caused immense human losses. Particular attention given to the Soviet Union’s policies aimed at establishing a system of collective security and its active efforts to prevent a global conflict. The paper concludes that while the political leadership of the major European powers in the 1930s did not seek war, they were ultimately unable to stop the aggressor, leading to the unfortunate reality of the Second World War.

Many countries' state family policies struggle with limited effectiveness despite substantial budget allocations. The challenges in implementing these policies are not only related to the design of the measures but also to how they are perceived and accepted by the public. It means they relate to value orientations, norms, and expectations into which state instruments are "embedded." The aim of this article is to analyze the family values that determine the effectiveness and evolutionary potential of state family policy. The ambiguity in approaches to interpreting, evaluating, and forming family values undermines both the effectiveness of scientific research and the functionality of the family as a social institution. By examining the views of researchers, the positions of experts, and the opinions of regional families, the authors of this article first illustrate the diversity of value orientations among contemporary regional families. Second, they clarify the role of values as a mediator between family policy instruments — such as financial support and social services — and family behavior. Finally, they can purposeful work on preserving and forming values through the institutions of family, state, education, culture, and mass communication. The article concludes with recommendations aimed at enhancing state family policy.

Transformations occurring within society resulted in changes in sociocultural landscape of leisure sphere. As a unique social group, youth are especially open to these innovations. Contemporary leisure activities offer a wide range of types to satisfy young people's spiritual, sociocultural, moral, and other needs. Through these activities, many young people achieve their potential and develop abilities.

This way youth find self-fulfilment. At this time, they remain free of professional and domestic responsibilities. Thus, leisure has become an essential aspect of young people's lives. Over the past decade, information technologies have had a special influence on youth leisure, fundamentally altering usual communication patterns. Consequently, the internet's role as a leisure sphere is highly significant and relevant. Modern digital practices are reshaping how youth engage with leisure, and not always unequivocally. The internet serves as a key element of the new information society. It offers insights into youth's lives, their values, perspectives, and interests. Therefore, current changes in youth's lives necessitate new approaches to integrating this generation into the information society. 

Several factors contributed to the importance of the study of social environment. These factors include enhancing employee motivation, reducing turnover, and retaining valuable staff; increasing customer and companies-partners loyalty; practical effects for management system such as the prevention of conflicts, closure of informational voids, and the facilitation of organizational change. This is particularly important for companies, which have branch networks and employees who working in hard-to-reach and remote locations and in shifts.

The aim of this work is to identify specific social environment factors that have proven critical in analyzing staff turnover, misconduct by employees, and ultimately subsequent defaults on company commitments. The authors of this paper used an anonymous electronic survey among dispatchers, drivers, and maintenance staff as instrument for their study. In addition, they assessed the eNSP loyalty metric of the respondent groups.

The results highlighted communication challenges within the "dispatcher-driver-transport maintenance" team, ranging from the efficacy of communication and ending with a lack of professional knowledge in transport and logistics. This raises the question of forming a social audit system as a form of regular feedback. The practical value of this diagnostic study is its provision of objective data to organizational and branch management, thereby informing decision-making processes. This approach moves beyond guesswork, equipping the management system with precise benchmarks to address and alleviate internal and inter-branch sources of strain. 

Solving issues of higher education requires cohesion and solidarity among different generational groups. In recent years, however, universities have increasingly encountered a crisis and imbalance of the system in intergenerational relations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the sources of intergenerational conflicts within university educational communities. To achieve this aim, the author conducted a survey involving scientific and pedagogical workers and administrative and management personnel in universities of the Ural Federal District. The survey focused on the issues surrounding intergenerational interaction within the university community (May — July 2025, n = 41). The study reveals that intergenerational conflicts in universities are latent. The key subjects in these conflicts are the older and the younger generations. The author`s study identified two groups of sources of these latent intergenerational conflicts: socio-psychological and social. The paper highlights the significance of social sources, because they are due to the value and institutional contexts of intergenerational interaction. Scientific novelty consists in identifying the sources of intergenerational conflicts among university workers for the development of a comprehensive and differentiated age policy. 

This article explores the challenges of determining the effectiveness of various youth policy implementation modalities. It relies on empirical results obtained by the authors from the project "Youth in Interethnic Communications: Intolerance, Tolerance, Dialogue," which was conducted under the Fundamental and Applied Research Program "Ethnocultural Diversity of Russian Society and Strengthening All-Russian Identity". The article focuses on how reliable and comprehensive evaluations are by various youth policy actors and to the identified challenges in assessing the effectiveness of youth policy. The authors give an assessment the main reasons for the decline in the effectiveness of youth policy plans, programs, and projects at four stages using the RACE formula. The article grounds the necessity of a continuous system for assessing the effectiveness of plans, programs, projects, competitions, and other documents aimed at working with youth, based on recognized criteria and methods. The authors propose establishing a national network of youth policy research centers affiliated with leading universities. These centers would provide essential data and analysis for youth policy at all levels, addressing youth expectations and concerns across social, political, cultural, and economic spheres. 

The aim of this study to identify the changes in the interaction between things and humans that arise from the unique characteristics of postmodern (postmodernity) culture. The hypothesis posits that the postmodern tendency to "blur" human identity appears in things and ways they relate to the subject.

The author of this paper reveals that, in postmodern culture, the essence of a thing undergoes transformations and they led to a change in its form, material, and functions that align with the trend described by J. Baudrillard as a “struggle against nature.” The form of a thing becomes miniaturized, its material composition shifts from natural substances to plastics, and single-purpose functions give way to multifunctionality. It was found that a thing begin to transform into nomadic object motivating foster human mobility. It loses its essential content or "noumenality," causing the boundary between the internal and external to become blurred. A thing gains the potential for rhizomatic connections, displaying a tendency to form hybrids that combine elements from diverse origins (natural and artificial, material and ideal). Furthermore, life cycle and period of the "life" of a thing are significantly shortened, preventing its from obtaining own biography. An ad hoc approach governs its existence. This approach emphasizes impermanence and encourages replacement of a thing by newer things. As a result, a thing motivates human movement across physical, social, and spiritual spaces, transforming his identity into an "elusive one". The findings of this study may be beneficial for philosophers, culturologists, and educators in secondary and higher education who are investigating the manifestations of postmodern culture.
