Abstract: The clan corporate culture of the university as a culture of collaboration and cooperation is a possible answer to the search for unity between two opposing trends of a modern university. There is a tension between the traditional professorial university culture and innovation and market culture which helps to overcome the contemporary challenges of globalization and competition in the educational market. It is obvious that the clan culture impedes the university transformation into an economic corporation and contributes to the university community preservation and professional and personal identity. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the university corporate culture configuration as a management tool helps the formation of a common vision of the world-class university. Right now, in a competitive situation within the Russian excellence program 5-100 it is crucial for university to ensure loyalty of employees, students, university partners and university environment. The university clan corporate culture is responsible for introducing innovative brands and for preserving the classical heritage to transforming into new type of the university.

Abstract: At present, China has entered the stage of in-depth aging, and the demand for elderly care services shows new characteristic. Nanjing, as the capital city of Jiangsu province which is a developed coastal province in China, is of most typical significance for the study of demand for elderly care services. Based on the statistics of the elderly population in Nanjing, the elderly service demand of the elderly population in Nanjing has been analyzed carefully from the macro and micro levels. In addition, based on the sampling survey of the elderly population in Nanjing, the current situation of the elderly service demand has further investigated and a constructing direction of new type of elderly service system has been proposed. The analysis results indicate that the construction of the elderly service system should be expanded from the original basic security to all the old people, especially for the elderly who are living alone, oldest and disabled. The service level should be changed from the generally low-level service to the higher-level service. And the elderly care model should be changed from "mainly family care" to "equal attention to the family care and institution care". In this way, all kinds of elderly care requirements can be well satisfied. And the elderly of different groups in urban and rural areas, who need elderly care services, can have dignity, choice and affordability. Finally, they can have a happy life.

Abstract: The question of the legality of international environmental law is particularly acute in the domestic legal systems of sub-Saharan African states. This is the case of Chad. The current configuration of this problem is reflected in ambiguities common to global and regional environmental standards and those specific to sub-regional environmental standards. They are likely to deny their legality. With regard to the former, these ambiguities revolve around the ratification of conventional legal instruments and their transposition into the domestic legal order. With regard to the second ones falling precisely under Community law, they are broken down into the lack of knowledge of these standards, their inadequacies not contributing to the construction of an autonomous Community law of the environment. The lack of effectiveness of international environmental law is thus far from leading to an effective protection of the environment in Chad.

Abstract: In the present work we will analyze the role of the organizations of the information economy from the perspective of Manuel Castells, displaying a critical look around the concepts developed by the author. Although ideas such as the company network, the informational economy and the new organizational logic run through the work of Castells, it is in chapter 3 of Volume I, of his famous "The Information Age", where the theoretical bases are established and the most outstanding examples that would be corroborating the existence of a consistent renewed organizational culture, a correlate of the global informational economy. Castells believes that the idea of a network company represents the necessary innovative turn that business organizations had to adopt in order to face the challenges of competing within the framework of a new societal logic where the flow of information and the permanent transformation are the two key elements to consider. However, those who disagree with this approach argue that the informational economy and changes in the business model constitute a linear continuity of capitalist progress, trying to cover geographical areas with less development and achieve higher economic returns.
