The article contains the results of the research, the aim of which is to study the value system of businesswomen and women-supervisors and also to identify the connection between socio-professional and gender identities. The questions about top-priority values, the connection of values with the socio-professional identity and self-estimation of the global success as well as the success of the professional experience were discovered on the basis of the research among the entrepreneurs and supervisors. Comparative analysis has shown the gender specificities of the entrepreneurs' value system, the perception of life and the business success and also the peculiarities of gender and socio-professional identities. On the basis of a large amount of entrepreneurs and supervisors' data, the matrix of values was created, including innovative-cultural, family-conservative, educationalauthoritative, hedonistic-prestigious and professional components. Besides, there were five clusters of values identified, among them were multivaluable (with the dominance of innovative-cultural component), monovaluable (family), professional-balanced, conservative-instrumental, conservative-ambitious. The values of the favorite work, the harmony with yourself and the communication are the most common values for the entrepreneurs. As for the supervisors well-being, authority in the community are the common values. Gender has a small influence on the dominant value clusters among the entrepreneurs, while among the supervisors there is no such influence at all. Females' values have some particularities in the circumstances of the pandemic. Socio-professional identity slightly depends on the dominant value cluster of the individual, and the considered cluster itself is usually connected with the professional work experience. High estimation of life and professional success of the entrepreneurs, depends on the dominant values and is different among the representatives of the genders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In my doctoral thesis I analyse way of life of crew members sharing the multiethnic territory of cruise ships. I tended to investigate this theme after I had experienced an extraordinary cooperation of people from all around the world on cruise ships. My goal is to sum up basic conditions which should be fulfilled in any multiethnic society to ensure that there would not be any conflicts between its habitants. According to my hypothesis there is a need of other than ethnical identity which could unify them on other than ethnical basis. In the territory of cruise ships it is socio-professional identity of „crew member“. From all factors in which we can observe socio-professional identity of crew members I attend communication and value system.

The unknown southern continent is perhaps one of the most puzzling aspects of Gerardus Mercator's otherwise strikingly modern cartography. This paper is an attempt to reconsider it in view of Renaissance cosmology and to outline two factors that led Mercator to engage with the mythical terra australis over decades: his socio-professional status as an artisan and the desire to be a philosopher, on the one hand, and the harsh business of mapmaking in the Low Countries on the other. The resulting unknown southern continent was intimately connected to the classical tradition and geocentric cosmology but also to the specific social niche Mercator was trying to establish for himself.
