The COVID-19 pandemic that began a year ago was marked by mass isolation of the population and transition to the remote interaction in many areas of human life. In this regard the ability of the domestic vocational education system to fully function through electronic, mobile and remote forms and means of carrying out educational activities is of particular importance. Thus, the problem arises of choosing a software platform for a distance education system that can meet the criteria for organizing and implementing a high-quality and uninterrupted educational process at a university under conditions of distance learning. The article presents the experience of implementing e-learning in the conditions of isolation of students and teachers of Rostov State University of Economics (RINH). The purpose of the article is to analyze the educational capabilities of the Module distance education system based on the experience of its practical application. The research methods used are methods for collecting and accumulating data, methods of assessment and experiential learning. The practical use of the Module system has revealed such shortcomings as the lack of the possibility of conducting interactive lessons in the mode of videoconferencing and the built-in system for testing students’ knowledge. Nevertheless, the authors have concluded that the platform is acceptable for solving educational problems. The experience gained in distance learning made it possible to determine the main subsystems that software tools for implementing the distance learning process must meet.

The study of the processes of genesis, renewal and evolution of the modern Russian society is impossible without studying innovative social and cultural roles and norms, where special attention is paid to a fundamentally new way of women’s existence in ethnocultural communities. Their social and cultural status is changing in the modern globalization and information society, in connection with which the issues related to the revision and adjustment of traditional positions and views on gender stereotypes, the distribution of emphasis in the field of gender equality, and ideas about the business activity of women are being actualized. To solve research problems, a structural-functional method, comparative analysis, a socio-gender approach with the use of the principles of consistency, historicism, objectivity have been used, allowing to analyze the nature of modifications in women’s business activity. It has been noted that in the region under consideration there is a special transformation of gender stereotypes, a specific delimitation of the space of “masculine” and “feminine”, which, on the one hand, are conditioned by the patriarchal nature of traditional culture, the presence of stable religious factors, a special mentality, and on the other hand, by the general desire for the processes of globalization, development of civil society. In this regard, the problem arises of the formation and assimilation of values by women in modern society. It has been revealed that modern representatives of the fairer sex are clearly aware that it is necessary to strive for greater financial independence, to have their own stable income in order to feel confident in the future, despite the ongoing socio-economic changes that have lead to the transformation of family relations and the culture of society. At the same time, a woman’s business activity is aimed at controlling time in favor of preserving many traditional views on the position of women in the community of the region and finding a balance between work and family, innovations and traditions.

The relevance of the research lies in the need to develop self-regulation skills in law enforcement officers, since this category of employees often performs professional functions in extreme situations, including anti-pandemic measures. The research problem is the contradiction between the increase in physical, intellectual and emotional stress experienced by law enforcement officers in extreme professional situations, on the one hand, and the need for an objective assessment and self-regulatory behavior, on the other. The purpose of the study is to examine the sociological specifics of assessing self-regulatory behavior of law enforcement officers in extreme situations. The article includes the results of an empirical study conducted in 2020-2021 in the Belgorod region, which was attended by current law enforcement officers (n = 134) undergoing advanced training. The following methods were used: a questionnaire survey and a formative experiment were used to collect data; computer analysis of the Excel package and comparative analysis were used to process and analyze the obtained materials. The results of the study showed that mastering self-regulation skills allowed law enforcement officers to understand better the causes of stress, taught them self-control, and improved the quality of communication with colleagues and immediate supervisors. In addition, it was concluded that such indicators as general physical well-being, a decrease in the level of anxiety, irritability and aggression improved.

The article is devoted to topical issues of family socio-cultural values in the information space. The article presents the characteristics and interpretation of a family in the media, the functioning of which takes place on the basis of social ties. Currently, the media are actively broadcasting in the society new forms and models of behavior of a modern family, which largely erode the traditional socio-cultural values of the family institution. The relevance of the research is due to the emergence of a serious scientific interest in the problems of transformation of family values at the present stage. The purpose of the article is to study the process of forming the image of a modern family in the media. To achieve this goal, you must complete the following tasks: - to analyze the concept of the socio-cultural values of a family; - to determine the basic forms and methods of a family image representation in the media; - to identify the degree of influence of the media on ideas about a modern family. The subject of the research is the process of forming the socio-cultural values of a family at the present stage. The practical significance of the article lies in the use of provisions and conclusions in the process of communication between representatives of various social groups and cultures. The methodological basis of the article was a systematic approach, as well as methods of comparison and observation.

The article examines the socio-cultural preconditions of terrorism in the world history of the 20th century. The current situation in the Russian Federation indicates the need to create an effective organizational and legal mechanism for countering terrorism, which infringes on the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the population of the Russian Federation and its state sovereignty. The provisions have been stated that determine the importance of studying the phenomenon of terrorism in the context of the growth of globalization processes and active opposition to them on the part of opponents of globalization. The author emphasizes the idea that deepening of the modern spiritual crisis influences the replacement of traditional moral values with a pragmatic orientation towards personal material success, which greatly contributes to the development of international terrorism. Despite a fairly wide list of subjects empowered by the national legislation of the Russian Federation to fight terrorism, the current legal field has not developed a concept that defines terrorism not only as a form of illegal action, but as a socio-cultural problem. In many respects, this became one of the reasons for the lack of interaction and coordination between the executive authorities and management in terms of its organization and implementation of measures aimed at countering terrorist manifestations. The study concludes that victory in the fight against terrorism cannot be achieved solely by forceful methods and state institutions. Civil society must make its contribution to the fight against terrorism.

The modern world and Russia in particular is characterized by intensive migration processes. Ethnic, socio-cultural, religious conflicts and migrant-phobia are spreading in the countries that receive migrants. This requires a search for new means and mechanisms for the adaptation and integration of migrants, as well as the prevention of migrant phobia among the local population. The aim of the study is to give a sociological description of migrantophobia in Russia and substantiate the potential of the social values of the sports movement in its prevention. The content of the research is based on: 1) the analysis of bibliographic sources on the topic of the article; 2) a secondary analysis of sociological research on the perception of migrants and migrant phobia. Sociological studies demonstrate a downward trend in the level of migrantophobia in the Russian society, however, there is a need for new ways of preventing it. It has been concluded that sport as a social institution and such social values of sport as activity, self-realization, communication, respect, friendship, tolerance can play a significant role in the adaptation and integration of migrants, as well as in prevention of migrant phobia among the local population. Interpretations of the social functions of sports in relation to migrants have been given. The macro-, meso- and micro factors of the involvement of migrants in sports have been indicated.

The article is based on the results of the sociological study on the value orientations of students in two traditional forms - full-time and part-time, the peculiarities of their educational trajectories, the motivation for choosing the form of education. The article tests the hypothesis about the presence (absence) of a pronounced connection between the organizational form of education at a university and the subsequent distribution of students, based on estimates of their level of education. The collection of empirical material on the research problem has been carried out in the course of planned research work devoted to the study of the image of the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. A number of associations about the university among those who received education in different forms of education have been identified and described Two approaches of value expectations from education have been identified : the first is closely related to the strengthening of the resource of the prestige of academic education, the second - with the increase in the educational potential of the educational institution. It has been proved that in full-time students the desire to improve themselves as individuals and professionals who can compete on the basis of improved personal competencies, and not on the symbolic attributes of the social hierarchy prevail; the educational efforts of a significant part of students by correspondence are focused mainly on achieving a formal learning outcome - an increase in status, and do not consider a diploma as a document that reflects the qualifications and level of education of the owner. The article makes a substantiated conclusion about the need to differentiate the status of the received educational document depending on the form of study at a university.
