The problems of young families are analyzed. The relevance of the study of the social welfare of modern young families is shown. A cognitive model of achievement and stabilization of the social welfare of a young family was constructed on the basis of the results of the study ""The Life of a Young Family in the Rostov Region"", 2017. It is shown that the basic model of achieving social well-being is a two-loop scheme with positive feedback. Each of the contours of which corresponds to the basic characteristics: socio-cultural and economic well-being. The principal problem of the factor of satisfaction of needs is revealed. The necessity of creating a full-fledged monitoring system of the socio-economic level of a young family included in the social policy framework of the state is shown.

Some experimental regularities obtained on the basis of monitoring and modeling the emotional perception of social processes, which are carried out from 2009 to the present moment by method of semantic differential are given. Total for this period were surveyed several thousand respondents, mainly students of Rostov-on-Don, Grozny, Vladikavkaz and Karachaevsk. And also the politically active part of the population of Rostov-on-Don. The purpose of the survey was to identify the emotional perception of the local and central political orders, own level of relative deprivation, cultural infrastructure and cultural life of the city as a whole, own emotional state. Received partial confirmation law factorization primary space of Ch. Osgood. For all these objects and any groups primary semantic signs reduced to three-four factors. However, we have shown that this regularity is observed only for the classical factorization method, in which the factors are identified based on the minimization of a specific random residue. For other methods of factoring the number of identified indicators of latent increases. Should be noted that this result was not previously observed in the literature. The second part of the Osgood’s law the nature of latent indicators as the factors of assessment, force and activity doesn't possess such commonality. For our subjects splitting primary signs into bunches doesn't occur, all signs are mixed in each factor. Results of the factor analysis, received by a cognitive part of the questionnaire has shown, as for these parameters the same regularity is carried out, as for a semantic part. All set of primary signs reduced to four-five latent factors. Cognitive part of the questionnaire has no relation to a technique of semantic differential. Common for both parts of the questionnaire is rating scales are used. And the result suggests that the observed regularity factorization by Osgood is not connected with the specific semantic space and emotional perception, and is a special case of a general factorization of any rating scale. For verification of this assumption was conducted the research results of poll SFU’s students to identify satisfaction with the educational process carried out in 2015. Questioning had purely cognitive character, 20 primary cognitive signs characterizing educational process from various parties have been used. In total, about 4,000 students were surveyed. Factorization of the classical method showed that the three indicators describe the 95% of the variation of the primary signs, and four - 97%. It convincingly shows the general nature of factorization of both semantic, and cognitive rating scales. We have suggested that the nature of such regularities lies in the psycho-physiological peculiarities of the formation of the respondents estimates. On average the person estimates any object no more than on three – four factors. In attempt to increase the number of estimated parameters is beginning to follow the correlation between them. This result makes for a fresh look at the development of questionnaires and on the adequacy of many of previous polls. It turns out that the use of large scale (the number of parameters to be estimated much more than four) does not make sense, they still rolled up to four factors. In this case the adequacy of the results will be decrease. Identify a limited perception of the estimated parameters is an additional source of errors in the measurement results. Fully it belongs to all earlier received results on a large rating scales.

The object of system analysis is increasingly becoming a geopolitical constructs. The part of the system analysis is to focus on the classification aspects of the structural elements of such a geopolitical entity as the Black Sea-Caspian region. Classification analysis is focused on actors (players), initiating "the Great game" in the political field of the region. We propose consideration of the morphological (elementwise) of the Black Sea-Caspian region, followed by the ranking of "local" actors and building of the "crystal lattice" on a regional scale. For the study of actors we are propose to use additive and integrative approaches. First is to involve sequential consideration of three geographical sub-regions "Black Sea – Caucasus – Caspian" as sites of "place-action". The second approach comes from the impossibility of a clear definition of natural boundaries "of the Black Sea, Caucasus and Caspian basin", taken separately. The authors propose for the boundaries in a purely geographical sense to understand some of the transition area between environments and/or spaces with qualitatively and quantitatively different properties and parameters. Actually there is "overlay" above three sub-regions, their intersection, fact that "stay" of some States of this zone in several of these subregions.

It is shown that one of the most important elements influencing the nature of development in the region is socio-ethno-cultural landscape. The study of its characteristics suggests a wide use of methods of social simulation. The purpose of modeling is to estimate the required parameters in conditions of uncertainty, both at the planning stage and during the current administration. Theoretical solutions to this challenge are based on the use of the principle of duality, when the production and analysis of missing information about a managed object, in our case about socio-ethno-cultural landscape, the system is in the process of governance. The duality of the models appears in their dual role as research (for monitoring characteristics of socio-ethno-cultural landscape and, at the same time as the reference models for the management of development in the region. Need of approbation and problem integration of methods of the system analysis, social diagnostics and social and mathematical modeling which will make new scientific methodology of research is shown. To solve the problem of this level is proposed for effective convergence of methodological knowledge in the use of total potential informational, cognitive, and socio-humanitarian technologies.

In the process of convergence of the NBICS technologies cognitive technologies perform system role. One of the important aspects of system convergence is convergent education based on cognitive technologies. It is noted that the basic concept of the technology are cognitive models. The role and place of teaching cognitive modeling in a modern University. It is noted that, despite the widespread use of the method and of the specialized software continues to cognitive modeling is the only scientific and professional tools. His research and development performed within the discipline specialisation of the master's or postgraduate specializations. Educational technology is necessary to saturate the cognitive procedures, methods and tools. The formation and development of cognitive technologies involves the training of specialists with knowledge in the relevant field and skills of cognitive modeling. The prospects for the promotion of convergent education in the southern Federal University.

A modern trend of scientific publications development shifts toward the network environments to an even more considerable degree. In practice, the new culture of the scientific publications is forming on basis of the global and mini Internet-platforms. The discussion of the comprehension experience and overcoming the different rating problems is suggested in the context of a science webzine “Engineer bulletin of Don”. It is observed that as the position of science webzines becomes stronger in the common space of the science magazines, there is a tendency to revising their evaluation criterion. Besides, the implementation of rates or coefficients prevails, the applicability of which relative to the science webzines is exogenous, i.e. it disclaims the aims of the science webzines. The application of restrictions, worked out within the framework of the traditional paper book-printing technology, is indicated to be unpromising. A new level of the science environment systemacy is suggested to be supplemented with the formalization of scientific evaluation rations, already existing and successfully maintained de facto, within the framework of the webzines – the Internet-platforms.
