LINGUISTIC DETERMINISM, CUMULATIVE EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
DescriptionThe main purpose of this study is to examine how language and its historically inherited content and structure allows accumulating knowledge and determines the development of the individuals, culture and science. The article shows the theoretical drawbacks of modern "pragmatic turn" in which language is depicted only as a derivate of natural, cultural and cognitive systems. Instead, it is stated that language, in addition to all of the above, have to be considered also as a relatively independent basis and one of the causes that determine individual and social development. For that reason, the study examines the system nature of language, thought and culture, their environmental and social "embeddiness", a close relationship with other sign systems and with various forms of social activities. From that point, theoretical reduction of multiple relations and varying causes in complex ecological and social systems only to bilateral relations of language-thought, language-culture are revised. Particular attention is paid to the role of language in the accumulation and systematization of scientific knowledge and the transmission of cultural traditions. In that context, language is seen as part of the non-genetic inheritance systems, "social a priori" that determines the content and creates conditions for cumulative social evolution. Therefore, it is maintained that the comprehensive studies of language and its significance for culture and science have to embrace within a systems approach both the linguistic and pragmatic "turns"

ORIGIN, EVOLUTION AND DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION IN NATURE
DescriptionThe article considers current trends and unsolved problems in studies of the origin and evolution of communication in nature. Distinctive features of natural language, its biological, cognitive and sociocultural foundations are revised from the perspectives of new findings in this field. The article also investigates the main characteristics of primal and basic forms of "communication" (e.g. in bacteria and plants). It is argued that to them are more applicable non-representational models of communication, because they are not based on the representation of meanings or the processes of cognition and interpretation. On the example of the acoustic signals of birds and primates it is shown that they have such linguistic features as referentiality, plasticity and sociocultural heritability. Discovery of the faculty, for instance in some species of birds, for a "semantically compositional communication" ("semantic compositionality"), reveals also the presence of the "protosyntax" in animal communication. Considered studies enable to bring together features of communication in nature and natural language and to see the evolution of communication as the more gradualistic process than previously thought. Nevertheless, it is emphasized that there is a need for the development in the modern studies the socio-cultural approaches to communication that take into account the non-genetic inheritance system and the cumulative nature of culture

SOME PROBLEMS OF SOCIALECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT IN MODERN ECONOMY
DescriptionClassical economic textbooks assume that the effect of a particular company on the environment is infinitely small, in particular, that resources required for an industrial firm are available, and it's only the price to be paid for their involvement. For a large corporation, the situation is quite different. It converts the environment by means of its activity. Objectively existing resource limits are become important. The effects are increased when we consider the economy as a whole thing. Therefore, we have the obvious need for careful consideration of management problems in the real process of interaction between the economy, society and environment. This article is devoted to some approaches to this consideration. We have demonstrated that the economy is the servant of society. In all the economical developed countries in the twentieth century the role of the state in the economy has been increased in 3-5 times. We have discussed the influence of the modern ecological situation on the economy and management. In particular, we predict the end of private enterprise in the classical meaning. We examined the social-ecological aspects of management of the state and personnel of the firm. Discussion of Russian problems we begin with an analysis of the dynamics of the main economic and demographic indicators of Russia, including the total fertility rate in Russia. The system of scenarios of population projections for the period up to 2050 shows the inevitability of significant reduction in the Russian population (in the absence of intensive management actions). We describe two basic scenarios of solving socio-ecological conflicts

ADAPTATION OF NEW WORKER IN THE COMPANY
DescriptionAdaptation of a new worker of the company will be considered in this article. For many companies adaption of a new worker to his or her new job does not have much value. But this is a big mistake that many managers are committing. In this article we will have some more effective ways of adaptation of new workers, and how this can be profitable financially to companies by making the new worker efficient in a short period of time. This would be a winning strategy for modern companies. I noticed that in Mali and almost all developing countries they do not even care about this fact. In public or private services the new comers are not welcomed by stuff and managers. And that is why the productivity is not high during the first two or three years of new colleagues in the company. This article can permit managers to understand the theoretical process of adaptation; also it will give them an exact program to follow. Induction of new worker is an essential part of motivation theory of Human resource management. And the first days are very important for the new workers in the company. So to avoid stress and minimize the risk of mistakes and accidents a good and understandable adaptation program is needed. This article is essential in understanding how to increase a new worker motivation in the company

Description
The article considers the issues of the economic security and competitiveness of the region as an important component of the economic security of Russia. It is proved that the essence of economic security of the region as an economic category is revealed through a system of interconnected elements, such as regional interests, identify the threats of economic safety in the region, the assessment of threats by various criteria and indicators that define their threshold values and their comparison with actual performance. Moreover, it is necessary to determine the so-called "corridor", denoting a safe zone, the formation of economic policy in the region and to develop effective mechanisms to prevent these threats, targeted organized protection of the economic security of the region. We give a justification according to the economic security of the region on the ability of regional authorities to establish effective mechanisms to ensure the competitiveness of the regional economy, socio-economic stability and sustainable development of the territory as relatively independent structures, organically integrated into the economy of the Russian Federation. The competitiveness of the region is considered only as a factor of economic security of the region and the country as a whole and, as an economic category, may itself be considered as a system and as part of a system of economic security of the region. The article proves that the competitiveness of the region should be considered as a system consisting of such elements as competitive potential of the region, the factors and conditions shaping the competitive environment, resource use efficiency, competitive advantage, competitive strategy business entities state and market mechanisms to manage the economic potential of the region to better meet human needs. The analysis of the factors ensuring the competitiveness and investment attractiveness of the region on the world market and the problems of its socio-economic development was made; great attention was paid to the analysis of the socio - economic potential of the Krasnodar region, the strengthening of its economic security

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF FRUIT INDUSTRY OF THE KRASNODAR REGION
DescriptionThe article is devoted to one of the pressing problems of providing of import substitution fruit and berry products on the territory of the Krasnodar region in terms of economic constraints. In the article we give a characteristic of the fruit industry and the factors of food security in the region in modern conditions. We have analyzed measures and the amount of state support fruit industry of the Krasnodar region. The necessity of application of program-target approach is visible in the development of the fruit industry, which is the incompatibility of period investment of budgetary funds to the period obtaining results. Retrospective analysis of compliance with the state program of measures to implement the planned renovations was also given. We have studied and analyzed the instruments of state support of the fruit products of the Krasnodar region (on the basis of program-target methods), which revealed a low level of validity of the objectives and instruments. The emerging trend of lack of own resources of agricultural producers for the renovation of plantations is a limiting factor in the development of the industry, reinforces the need to increase state support and differentiation of forms of state regulation. We have grouped measures of state support for the industry in "baskets" on the degree distorting effect on trade, as well as recommendations for areas of improvement tools program-target planning of regional fruit and berry subcomplex (validation of instruments and goals of the State program; reducing capital intensity) in a globalizing sanctions of the Russian economy

Description
A diet of a modern man affects the formation of a healthy lifestyle very highly. It supplies the body with the main and irreplaceable nutrients, mineral components and energy. The Russian Federation population surveys, which were carried out by government agencies of the country show us that there is a lack of many nutrients with high nutritional value. Russian market is gradually stuffed with food products which have high nutritional value. For the maintenance of health, active longevity, and for improving their performance, people must consume their organism with all the necessary nutrients. That's why achieving an optimal balance among the nutrients is one of the important question of vital activity. In this article, there were considered optimization approaches to human diet with considering different types of metabolism and maintain weight with using economic and mathematical methods. Also in this article you can find the calculated values of the daily values depending on your calorie eating plan, anthropometric parameters and energy expenditure. We obtained daily value of calories and distributed basic food components- carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and also we calculate the optimal diet for the results of each type of physique - ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph

STATE REGULATION OF ORGANIC FARMING: BASES AND FEATURES OF THE EUROPEAN AND THE U.S. LEGISLATION
DescriptionRegulation of environmental protection in agricultural production is very important at the present time due to the growing trend of deterioration of the environment and public health worldwide. A severe negative impact on the environment is due to productive human activities in agriculture, one of which is soil pollution due to excessive use of pesticides. The implementation of organic methods of cultivation of agricultural crops is one of the ways of improving soil fertility. This trend was established in the EU and the US. In these countries, the sector of organic agriculture was modernized with following parameters: legislation, certification and standardization. In the article the authors analyze the characteristics of European and American legislation on organic production of agricultural products, the process of the emergence and development of this activity, as well as conditions for the formation of normative-legal acts, standards and certificates in the EU and the US. Major adverse effects of the widespread use of pesticides and other intensive methods of agricultural production were listed. We have also substantiated the need for the development of organic agriculture as a real instrument for the development of modern and competitive agriculture in the global food market, taking into account Russia's accession to the WTO. We have analyzed European and American legislation on organic production of agricultural products. The process of the emergence and development of this activity, as well as conditions for the formation of normative-legal acts, standards and certificates in the EU and the US has been revealed. We have also proved the need for the development and improvement of legislative base of the Russian Federation in the field of organic agriculture, certification and standardization, taking into account the experience, as the EU and other countries

Description
In the article we have considered theories of the policy analysis based on the quantitative measurements of the efficiency (productivity) of any economic policy direction. The question of the need of law formulation of the effective and ineffective management and bureaucracy is substantiated. We have given the components of the financial policy and stated the approaches to increasing their efficiency. The contradictions in the use of a conceptual framework of the analysis of the policies in the modern Russian legislation are revealed. The ratio of the terms of “politician” and “state regulation of the economy” is presented. It is also defined, that the discrepancy of the measures of the economic policy is a consequence of the lack of the united methodology of the macroeconomic regulation. The generalization of the world practice of the economy state regulation allows us to systematize the directions of the economic policy two components demanded in the practice – the formation of the common economic space and the solution of the narrower tasks within 6 main approaches: financial, branch, territorial, functional, typological and program and target. The integrated approach to the policy analysis focuses on the observance in the political activity in Russia of the requirements of the efficiency examination of the all making administrative cycles of the macroeconomic development from a goal-setting to an assessment of the received results, but not their selective analysis
