Discusses the conjecture that mankind is moving towards global crises and catastrophes because of the lack of strategies and policies to deal with information. Sees the need for new concepts in information as paramount. Outlines how a transition to noospheric thinking may be a way to the survival of human civilisation. Presents new concepts in information that are backed by a mathematical methodology.

The unacceptably slow development of the theory and the practice of interdisciplinary re-search is closely related to the insufficient attention of intellectual culture in general to categorical schemes (CS). The properties distinguishing CS from conceptual constructions are picked out. The theoretical and practicable CS, which are created on the basis of the categorical-system methodology (CSM), the theory of dynamic informational systems (TDIS) are discussed. CS based on TDIS have found application in the development of an organizational and business game - insafing, in writing computer programs for solving problems of the automation of reasoning processes. Comparison of CSs formed on the ba-sis of CSM, TDIS with famous cognitive constructions, raises the question of the possibility of the development of original CSs for new intelligent technologies.

The most important resource in forming human capital is, certainly, the youth, whose mission is not just to reproduce, but also to develop, improve, and update the existing social system. In the article authors are trying to find answers to the following questions: How do contemporary youth see their future? How does this image correlate with the socio-economic challenges facing contemporary society? What help do young people need in the course of professional self-determination? The answers to these questions should be taken into account when developing strategies for the effective use of the human capital of today’s youth. Based on the results obtained, the authors conclude that it is necessary to typologize behavioral strategy models in the future professional self-determination of young people.
