The article is devoted to the relevant issue of modern science and ethical support for scientific research using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Despite a significant number of foreign and domestic publications about AI, the conceptual framework for the ethics of scientific research using AI remains undeveloped. Based on the international recommendations and articles, as well as own research experience and membership of research ethical committees, the authors define and analyze the basic ethical principles for the scientific research using AI. The proposed principles are considered in the context of their practical application in the field of biomedicine, which are connected with protection of the mankind and nature, maintaining the confidentiality of participants‘ data, preventing discrimination, protecting against errors of AI, respecting informed consent, as well as observing the norms of “open science”, mutual trust from developers and users, etc. The application of the proposed principles orients the scientists, the developers of artificial intelligence, ethical committees, realizing review process, all society, to the priority of the humanization of science, respect for man and nature, as well as education of society regarding to AI, the creation of a regulatory framework, ethical recommendations and codes of ethics for the using of AI in scientific research.

The article substantiates the relevance of a monitoring study of the national information space in view of the constant improvement of technical and technological solutions for the production and distribution of content, as well as the expansion of coverage and access to the Internet, accompanied by media convergence of its structural segments and the transformation of forms of media consumption and media practices of the population. An overview of current scientific research on the identified issues is presented, both in the direction of studying aspects of satisfying the need for information in the structure of everyday practices of social subjects, and in the direction of changing the landscape of the information space, the variability of the selection of information content. Based on the results of a republican representative monitoring sociological study of the transformation of the national information space, implemented by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, its state for 2022–2023 is characterized. in the context of traditional media and new media, taking into account their structural components. The sources of information that are in demand and the main ones for citizens of the country, the practices of their use, the level of trust and the most important characteristics of the content are reflected.

This article, for the first time in ethnological science, examines the stages of the formation of the Moldovan diaspora in Belarus: population dynamics, resettlement and reasons for resettlement. It is noted that by type it belongs to modern diasporas and is characterized by dispersed living. The author identified the stages of formation of the Moldovan diaspora (Soviet and post-Soviet) and examined the number of Moldovans in various regions of Belarus. It is concluded that Moldovans who moved to Belarus during these periods are characterized by certain differences. It has been established that the increase in their numbers during the Soviet period was a consequence of inter-republican migration and mixed marriages. The resettlement of Moldovans in the post-Soviet period had the nature of labor migration. The majority of representatives of this wave of migrants retain Moldovan citizenship. A peculiarity of this period is that among the settlers there were many monoethnic families. This research was carried out by the author within the framework of cultural anthropology. The author widely draws on statistical data and materials from field ethnosociological research conducted by him in Minsk and other regions of Belarus in 2020–2023. In this article, field research materials are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

The purpose of the article is to study the artistic features of the lyrics of Maria Konopnicka, analyze the ideological and aesthetic foundations of her creative method and poetic style, as well as scientific understanding of the place and role of this bright representative of Polish positivism literature within the Belarusian cultural and historical paradigm. The introduction substantiates the novelty and relevance of the study of the poetic heritage of M. Konopnicka in the context of Belarusian-Polish literary ties. In the main part, on the example of individual poems, the ways of artistic comprehension by the poetess of a number of aesthetic, philosophical and socio-political ideas that are relevant both among the Polish and Belarusian creative intelligentsia are shown. This fact led to the emergence of literary followers, translators and interpreters of M. Konopnicka’s work, one of which is Yanka Kupala, the first national poet of Belarus. Also, the genuine interest of Belarusians in the Polish writer is explained by common cultural and historical values and traditions, a similar orientation towards representatives of the previous era (Adam Mitskevich, Juliush Slovatsky and some other Polish-Litvinian romantics). In summary, conclusions are formulated about the ideological and aesthetic searches of M. Konopnicka, as well as about the place of her poetry in the system of realism and the context of Belarusian-Polish literary ties.

The article is devoted to the comprehension of the ideological and artistic searches of the forgotten poets of Western Belarus Petrus Hranit, Yulian Serhievich and Kastus Rahoysha, which were carried out within the framework of the leading lyrical and narrative artistic and stylistic current. The author reveals the involvement of the lyrical hero P. Hranit in the current problems of the West. Hranit’s involvement in the actual problems of the West Belarusian reality, the acuteness of his social view, the characteristic assertiveness, immobilisation of the poet’s poems, which revealed the objective nature of phenomena and processes, as a rule, connected with a specific chronotope, emphasises the variety of problem-thematic content, the elevation of the spiritual and moral world, the wide range of imaginative and stylistic pattern of Y. Serhievich’s work, in which the Christian religious idea was organically combined with the motives of the struggle against injustice and oppression. The poetry of K. Rahoysha emphasises the synthesis of elements of narrative and problematic, analytical writing, which was characterised by the author’s observation, the ability to notice and emphasise the individual, unique in phenomena and objects, to show them in movement and development.

The author raises the problem of the relevance of educational means tested by law to the information agenda. The online world has presented legal theory and legal practice with difficult questions. The well-trodden strategies of legal positivism are programmed for a different status state of society than the state of a network-type society. Previous approaches are not always effective regarding communication processes. Information law, more than other legal disciplines, feels the need for creative research tools. Its use is associated with certain risks. However, the formulation and solution of non-trivial cognitive problems requires the reinforcement of traditional methodological strategies with innovative ones. Information-legal, synergetic, phenomenological and other approaches, mastering axiological techniques and convergent techniques are called upon to replenish the heuristic resource of formal dogmatic means. Fidelity to the authority of traditions, together with a readiness to verify unknown research experience, is the way to increase scientific knowledge.
