CONCEPT AND FUNCTIONS OF SOCIAL CONFLICT

social conflict - this is a conflict of large social groups that arose on the basis of social contradiction. In the modern world, there is an aggravation and an increase in the number of social contradictions, which leads to an increase in conflict in society.

Definition of social conflict Babosova reflects the modern specifics of social contradictions: "social conflict - an extreme case of exacerbation of social contradictions, expressed in a clash of social communities. "The communities that the domestic conflictologist speaks about here are not only national and ethnic groups, states, classes of society, but also social institutions that exist in society at this stage of development. Various goals pursued by institutions or social groups, as well as a mismatch of interests and values supported by social communities lead to social contradictions.Each social conflict is limited by its specific situation (causes, duration, scope, intensity), therefore, it requires resolution of the problem precisely in It is impossible to unite all social conflicts.

A significantly different definition of social conflict can be found in Zaprudsky "social conflict - this is a clear or hidden state of confrontation, objectively diverging interests, goals of social actors. "The causes of social conflict remain the same, the forms of conflict and ways of demonstrating the interests of social communities are changing. Zaprudsky interests are expressed by the social attitude of a particular community to the existing order in society, the distribution of social forces and the expression of general tendencies (social action). Social forces that participate in conflict do not always reflect the tendencies of their development in a conflict way or in a way of open struggle. Preserving one's positions and interests can already lead to a new "social unity." Therefore, social conflict is also the formation of a new order in the system of social relations.

The functions of social conflict were studied in detail L. Koser, defining their specificity for closed and open types of society.

Social conflicts can perform two main functions:

1) negative (destructive);

2) positive (constructive).

Social conflict theory has been influenced by some psychologists who have studied conflicts between large social groups (for example, D. Campbell and his theory of realistic group conflict, L. Berkowitz, D. Turner).

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

FPGA Speedster22i from Achronix Semiconductor 26.02.2013

FPGA specialist Achronix Semiconductor has announced the delivery of the industry's first 22nm FPGA Speedster 22i HD1000. Achronix does not have its own production. The contract manufacturer of the new FPGAs was Intel.

The Speedster22i chips use 22nm Tri-Gate bulk transistors. This allowed them to halve their power consumption and cost compared to competing high-performance FPGAs. The new Achronix products are the only ones equipped with 10/40/100G Ethernet, Interlaken 100 Gb/s, PCI Express Gen1/2/3 and DDR3-2133 interfaces.

Launching the Speedster22i family, the Speedster1000i HD22 is configured with 1 million equivalent LUTs (700 programmable and 000 additional functionality, including the above interfaces). In addition, developers have access to 300 Mb of RAM, 000 programmable I/O lines, and 86 lines of serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial converters with a throughput of 960 Gbps.

The $1000 HD13000 Development Kit includes a PCI Express expansion card with FPGA, programmer, and ACE software. Samples of the Speedster22i HD1000 are now available. The next model, the Speedster22i HD680P, is slated for release in the second quarter. The senior model of the family, Speedster22i HD1500, will be released towards the end of the year.
