One of the most important directions of the state family policy is the elimination of orphanhood. The optimal solution to the problem seems to be the deinstitutionalization of the sphere of orphanhood and the arrangement of family life for children. Studies show that the measures taken by the state have a limited effect which actualizes the search for opportunities to expand the number of participants in preventive work and build a system of interdepartmental interaction. In this context, the purpose of the study was to determine the role of non-profit organizations involved in the prevention of orphanhood at the regional level. The study confirmed that they work effectively with orphans and foster families, and the grant support system has a positive effect on increasing the number and variety of projects implemented in the field of orphanhood prevention.

The problem of prematurity remains one of the most important in modern neonatology. The article provides an assessment of the economic costs for the care, nursing and rehabilitation of premature babies, and using the machine learning method, the lower limit of the gestational age for nursing and active treatment of this category of children is determined, taking into account the influence of the main risk factors for such outcomes as death and disability. The results obtained will reduce the economic burden of the state on the treatment of infants born with extremely low body weight.

The article considers the theoretical approaches to the definition of the “loyalty” notion depending on emotional component, satisfaction, attitude towards the product (service), organization, psychological assessment etc. An attempt was made to abandon not quite rational and productive approach of stating various characteristics in the notion. The paper suggests an authorial approach for studying loyalty, a number of variables of the research were formulated, which showed the possibility of use in different organization for loyalty monitoring following its approbation.

The article considers the methodical approaches to the solution of the problem of the assessment of the influence of digital economy on economic performance. The solution of the set problem is very important not only in the regional but national scale as well. The methodical approach to studying unevenness of digital development of the regions in terms of its certain segments (business and population) was suggested and tested. The analysis of the influence of digital economy on social and economic development of the regions was carried out. The assessment of the degree of the influence of the digital changes on the Russian economy in general was made. Conclusions were drawn. The data of the “Indicators of digital economy” statistical compilation were used as the informational base of the study.

In the context of the implementation of a national action plan related to the leveling of the negative consequences of the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection and ensuring, among other things, the growth of the Russian economy and the corresponding structural changes, as well as taking into account the external sanctions imposed on Russia and the various restrictions generated by them that restrain the development of the national economy, today the issues of developing and the speedy implementation of measures aimed at ensuring the technological sovereignty of our country. The article substantiates appropriate measures, including improving approaches to ensuring the modern level of technological equipment of economic sectors, increasing the role of research and development in the development of the domestic economic complex.

The article considers the idea of the formation of a new paradigm in science proposed by a number of authors. According to this idea, the new scientific paradigm, which is the fourth in succession, consists in the fact that scientific research is increasingly based on the analysis of big data. It results in the change of the basic process: the production of scientific knowledge is replaced by the analysis of big data. The article examines the arguments of the authors of the idea of the fourth scientific paradigm and attempts to identify the rationale for such an assumption. It is shown that a new paradigm really starts to form in science, but its core is not so much the analysis of big data (which, of course, takes place, but this is one of the criteria related to the instrumental and technological aspect of the issue), but the change in the very reality of the world. The latter consists in the transition to the paradigm of the world of worlds, the paradigm of the hybrid (social-digital) world, which also implies the formation of a new ontology. It is argued that the new paradigm requires the development of new philosophical and methodological foundations, the lack of which is felt by the authors of this idea. The question of the emerging trend of rethinking the active role of a research scientist and the need to develop a new human-artificial intelligence interface is considered. In a situation of heavy growth of big data, not so much the human scientist himself begins to play an active role in collecting, processing and analyzing data, but his digital assistant; thus, clearly expressed functional outsourcing takes place. It is shown that the key criterion for the transition to a new paradigm is not the growth of data by itself, but overcoming the border of the human dimension of the world.

By analogy with practical akrasia, epistemic akrasia is considered from two perspectives - its fundamental possibility and its rationality. Although this phenomenon is well known, it is not easy to explain it, since it seems to be a clear indication of irrationality. The conditions for the possibility of epistemic akrasia include some form of control over our opinions and beliefs, as well as awareness of choice. Its rationalization requires weakening the tenets of rationality - from strict logical consistency towards pragmatism. Further rationalization of such cases is possible with an appropriate interpretation of the “ought implies can” formula, which would limit and weaken our epistemic obligations.

The article proposes a preliminary version of the concept describing the influence of scientific philosophers on scientific knowledge. Firstly, this influence consists in criticizing the shortcomings of scientific knowledge, since science is not accustomed to criticize methods if there are no alternative approaches. Secondly, it reflects in criticism of the incorrect use of philosophical ideas in science, because non-philosophers do not always have deep and wide knowledge of philosophy. With this concept in mind, the author has analyzed Hume's Treatise on Human Nature and shows that Hume had neither original results in probability theory, nor special interest in this science. The fact is that probability theory is not suitable for the study of problems relevant to Hume, and therefore there is no reason to talk about his direct influence on it. However, Hume's criticism of this science, as well as some of his considerations, which may be interpreted as a challenge to scientists, could initiate their research in the field of probability theory, so Hume's indirect influence on this science may be logically assumed.

The article deals with the problem of demarcation between abstract and concrete entities. In its first part, the thesis about the internal variability of the spatiotemporal criterion of demarcation between abstract and concrete entities is substantiated, as well as some variants of this criterion are analyzed. The second part of the article shows how various forms of the spatiotemporal criterion can influence the determination of the status of individual entities. We consider two examples of entities, which some authors view as abstract entities, while other authors view as concrete ones. Namely, we address the problem of zero-dimensional material objects and the issue of the ontological status of possible worlds.

The paper reveals the difficulties of applying the proof verification concept to collectively obtained mathematical results using the classification theorem for finite simple groups as an example. It is shown that the difficulties that arise when trying to use the concept of proof verification to collective results can be overcome by means of socio-epistemological research. The latter allow not only to overcome the inapplicability of the classical concepts of the epistemology of mathematics to collective results, but also to create new concepts that are applicable, including beyond the limits of exclusively collective results.
