Conceptualization of the Process of Globalization of the Socioeconomic Development of Society
2023
The aim of the article is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the conceptualization of the process of globalization of the socioeconomic development of society. According to the results of the study, it is found that in the modern world the process of globalization has become an integral part of the socioeconomic development of society. This process is perceived and interpreted in different ways, the main reason for this view being the diversity and ambiguity of the consequences and changes caused by the process of globalization affecting all areas of society. In this regard, the urgent problem of our time is the conceptualization and comprehension of socioeconomic changes that occur under the influence of the multi-vector process of globalization. The issues of the globalization process and related processes are considered within the framework of philosophical, economic, sociological, political, ecological, cultural and other areas. The process of globalization becomes the subject of a new interdisciplinary research in the academic field – globalistics, established as an independent direction at the end of the twentieth century. The processes of globalization are numerous, ambiguous and contradictory both in implementation and in perception. They become the «objective reality» of today’s turbulent world. The process of globalization is represented by its own uniqueness, the integration of the world in the economic, political and sociocultural dimensions is gaining strength, being axiomatic and having no alternative. Modern views of society are significantly transformed, and globalization, as a multi-vector process, changes all elements of the socioeconomic development of society. The ontological referent of the meaning of globalization is the state of development of society: social norms and barriers between different institutional organizations are losing their relevance, new socioeconomic, political, legal and other structures are emerging, all spheres of social life intersect so closely that as a result, the global system establishes a space and an integrally unified world system.

The pandemics in the history of world health organization have always left memorable hallmarks, on the health care systems and on the economy of highly effected areas. The ongoing pandemic is one of the most harmful pandemics and is threatening due to its transformation to more contiguous variants. Here in this manuscript, we will first outline the variants and then their impact on the associated health issues. The deep learning algorithms are useful in developing models, from a higher dimensional problem/ dataset, but these algorithms fail to provide insight during the training process and do not generalize the conditions. Transfer learning, a new subfield of machine learning has acquired fame due to its ability to exploit the information/learning gained from a previous process to improve generalization for the next. In short, transfer learning is the optimization of the stored knowledge. With the aid of transfer learning, we will show that the stringency index and cardiovascular death rates were the most important and appropriate predictors to develop the model for the forecasting of the COVID-19 death rates.

The revitalization of small towns is connected with an attempt to find multidirectional solutions to numerous social, economic and spatial problems. It is possible to remove degraded areas and areas with a high risk of social exclusion through coordinated and skillfully planned activities consisting of corrective interventions within these areas and, indirectly, in the whole structure of a small town. There are many studies on improving the quality of life of inhabitants at risk of exclusion in large cities. At the same time, there is a gap in the analyses of this phenomenon in small towns. In this article, we present the results of our observations on changes in the quality and living conditions of residents as a result of social projects implemented as part of the revitalization of marginalized areas in cities associated with the Cittaslow movement. The starting point is to identify the main socioeconomic problems and relate them to the effects of the revitalization activities carried out under the Supralocal Revitalization Program (SLRP). The study analyzed all projects that were a response to social problems in fourteen cities in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (Poland). It was based on a quantitative assessment of the selected socioeconomic indicators and a qualitative assessment based on interviews with local experts. The results of the research indicate a reduction in unemployment in all the cities covered by the study. On the other hand, the results of the expert interview show that it is not directly influenced by the implemented revitalization projects. According to experts, after revitalization, the crime rate decreased insignificantly and the educational and professional involvement of residents from marginalized areas is still low. The results may give rise to the creation of scenarios to deal with the socioeconomic problems of the analyzed examples and recommendations for the revitalization of other Cittaslow towns in the region as well as small towns in Europe and the world.

Mentality and the Socioeconomic Achievements of Countries
2020
Abstract—According to the author of this paper, when forming a state’s economic and social policy, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the mentality of the population since, as studies show, values shared by people and their motivation and intelligence affect the socioeconomic achievements of countries. It is argued that the correspondence of social institutions to the national mentality is a necessary condition for their successful functioning and provides productive solutions to social and economic problems facing the society. It is crucial that the populational mentality is a sufficiently stable formation, transmitted from generation to generation.
