Modern societies, especially those from the Western hemisphere, strongly believe in the idea that freedom of expression, one of the most important human rights, has only positive effects. It is however worth to mention that in the Internet era the subject of this freedom has broaden and includes now almost every person capable of creating and publishing content. As a result, some political, economical or social actors start to take advantage of freedom of expression. Therefore, it is necessary to find out whether freedom of expression has only positive effects or whether it can pose a threat to the security of state.

The reality of the danger of active shooters performing a terror attack at school facilities during the working hours, inspires to thought about possible guidelines under which an unarmed person could stop an armed aggressor in the moment he breaks into school and launches an attack. Quality physical security measures can prevent infiltration of a trespasser into a building or make it at least difficult, however it is necessary to always take into consideration that the physical security measures will be surpassed and the attacker infiltrates the building. Surviving an active shooter event is possible when following the “run-hide-fight & survive” guidelines.

Ljuba Jovanović belongs to the generation that prepared, organized and carried out the liberation and union of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes into a single state. In 1876, as a grammar school student, together with friends, he organized the student or¬ganization „Branko Radičević”, spreading the spirit of liberty among the youth of Boka Kotorska Bay. When the Second Boka Uprising broke out in Krivosije in 1882, the members of the organization decided to leave the grammar school and join the insurrec¬tionists. After the uprising was put down, he fled to Serbia. In this new and unfamiliar setting, he made his way to the highest honors and titles, thanks exclusively to his own worthiness and abilities. He was among the initiators of the great national and cultural organizations whose activities would reverberate throughout the Slavic South: Sokoli, National Defense, Serbian Literary Cooperative. An initiative was launched in Boka Kotorska for Ljuba Jovanović to head the candidate list for parliament of the National Radical Party in Dalmatia, due to his personal ties with his place of birth. Even though he came to hold some of the leading positions in Serbia and The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, he remained an honest man, leading the fight against corruption in the National Radical Party.

Mass-media have powerful influence on characteristics and development of contemporary societies. Modern societies are characterized by different varieties of violence as un-human social and anthropological behaviour paterns of different societies and as shapes of social pathology. Media are the most significant mediator between sport and men of modern societies, particularly of young people. Violence, as on expression of agressive behaviour, is not just a consequence of global society and mass-media influence on audience (especialy hooligans), but it is developing as a consequence of socialisation of personality. Youth violence is also a consequence of mass-media influence on young people's education. Children and youth are especially sensitive to violence in mass-media.

The Bosnian uprising (1875-1878) was the subject of various interpretations. There is a much smaller number of papers that dealt with this uprising from the perspective of the original Ottoman documents and from the perspective of Ottoman provenance, being much more based on the works of Western provenience. It is therefore important to present documents translated from the Ottoman / Old Turkish language in order to see the other perspective of this uprising to ultimately come to a consensus on this important issue from the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hasan Škapur is a proven scholar in several scientific disciplines, which was proved by the translation and presentation of these documents.

The aims of this study were (a) to describe the prevalence of single versus multiple addiction problems in a large representative sample and (b) to identify distinct subgroups of people experiencing substance-related and behavioral addiction problems. Methods: A random sample of 6,000 respondents from Alberta, Canada, completed survey items assessing self-attributed problems experienced in the past year with four substances (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and cocaine) and six behaviors (gambling, eating, shopping, sex, video gaming, and work). Hierarchical cluster analyses were used to classify patterns of co-occurring addiction problems on an analytic subsample of 2,728 respondents (1,696 women and 1032 men; Mage = 45.1 years, SDage = 13.5 years) who reported problems with one or more of the addictive behaviors in the previous year. Results: In the total sample, 49.2% of the respondents reported zero, 29.8% reported one, 13.1% reported two, and 7.9% reported three or more addiction problems in the previous year. Cluster-analytic results suggested a 7-group solution. Members of most clusters were characterized by multiple addiction problems; the average number of past year addictive behaviors in cluster members ranged between 1 (Cluster II: excessive eating only) and 2.5 (Cluster VII: excessive video game playing with the frequent co-occurrence of smoking, excessive eating and work). Discussion and conclusions: Our findings replicate previous results indicating that about half of the adult population struggles with at least one excessive behavior in a given year; however, our analyses revealed a higher number of co-occurring addiction clusters than typically found in previous studies.

Проблема вивчення натовпу актуалізувалася в часи суспільних змін, потрясінь, а саме наприкінці ХІХ - на початку ХХ ст. То була епоха масових рухів, революційного настрою. В цей час виникла концепція психології натовпу, яка стала передісторією наукової соціальної психології. Предметом ретельного вивчення багатьох вчених різних країн стали масові явища, великі соціальні групи людей, механізми масового впливу, явища навіювання, наслідування, поведінка особистості в натовпі, взаємодії лідера та натовпу. Найбільш відомими працями з цієї проблематики є праці соціологів Г. Ле Бона, Г. Тарда, Н.К. Михайловського, С. Сігеле, Г. Блумера, Г. В. Плеханова, С. Московіча; психологів З. Фрейда, В. М. Бехтєрєва, В. Н. Войтоловського, Б. Д. Паригіна, С. К. Рощіна, А. М. Зимічева, А. П. Назаретяна, Д. В. Ольшанського.

The recent overflow of Disney-related online content like pictures, videos, articles, news or quizzes not only justifies the attempt of bowing it to theoretical reflection and structured analysis, but also proves it is needed in order to unfold the actual dimension of Walt Disney Corporation's influence not only upon the juvenile publics, but also upon the adult audiences. What is more, the accessibility and fluidity of such content on websites, blogs, social networks and online platformscreate unmatched possibilities of cross-disciplinary research of interest for diverse academic fields such as sociology, arts or communication studies. Developing on Atton's (2002), Bailey, Cammaerts and Carpentier's (2008) and Fuchs (2010) definitions and classifications of alternative media and Fuchs's (2010) concept of 'critical media', the present study employs quantitative and qualitative visual and content analysis and the study of public social documents such as online newspaper articles to determine whether the digital artworks of Middle-Eastern artist, Saint Hoax,is a form of (1) alternative media and (2) critical media.

Politics and politicians continue to affect editing media and journalists. If we’re talking about public television and radio, the current Law on HRT permits more direct interference in personnel policy on HRT than ever in the last decade. After the privatization of the print media influence policy on them is smaller but it is very sophisticated and has not stopped. The main parties have ‘their’ journalists that they do the work. There is a huge role of journalists spins in building political image. Socially responsible journalism must disclose political spin to citizens as autonomous entities freely decide on policy.

Opinia publiczna, jak określa to w podtytule swojej klasycznej książki Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, „nasza społeczna skóra”, kształtuje nasze poglądy na otaczającą nas rzeczywistość. Stąd wywodzi się znaczenie i obowiązek poznania mechanizmów jej powstawania i funkcjonowania. Jej funkcją jest odzwierciedlanie rzeczywistych i dominujących w społeczeństwie poglądów i ocen. W zjawisku opinii publicznej uwidacznia się przede wszystkim społeczna a nie indywidualna strona natury człowieka. Owa społeczna natura skłania człowieka do lęku przed odrzuceniem, popycha do starania o szacunek i sympatię otoczenia. Opinia publiczna jawi się jako potężna siła zdolna rozpalać konflikty i obalać rządy, będąca w stanie prześladować i wykluczyć jednostkę, która jej się sprzeciwia. Jej działanie dostrzega się w coraz to nowych przestrzeniach, dlatego warto poznać jej niezwykłą skuteczność, by rozumiejąc jej działanie, mniej obawiać się jej siły.

Na temat problemów nadużywania alkoholu i narkotyków powiedziano już wiele. Bez większych trudności można znaleźć dziesiątki książek i artykułów, których autorzy straszą, co prawda słusznie, tragicznymi skutkami sięgania po alkohol i środki narkotyczne, łącznie z pojawieniem się demoralizacji, przestępczości i groźnych chorób kończących się śmiercią. Pisaniu tego materiału przyświeca bardzo ważny cel, jakim jest akcja profilaktyczna – powstrzymywanie młodych osób, w tym przebywających w zakładach poprawczych i schroniskach dla nieletnich, przed używaniem środków uzależniających, niezależnie od tego, czy mieli już wcześniej kontakt z nimi, czy też dotychczas nie próbowali alkoholu ani narkotyków.

Posljednih se godina pojam „identiteta” našao u središtu prave diskurzivne eksplozije, dok je u isto vrijeme bio podvrgnut temeljitoj kritici. Kako objasniti taj paradoksalni razvoj? I gdje se, s obzirom na njega, mi smještamo u odnosu prema tom pojmu? Dekonstrukcija je provedena u mnoštvu disciplinarnih područja, od kojih su sva, na ovaj ili onaj način, izuzetno kritična prema predodžbi nedjeljivog, izvornog i jedinstvenog identiteta. Kritika samouspostavljenog subjekta u središtu postkartezijanske zapadne metafizike dobila je u svakom pogledu značajnije mjesto u filozofiji. [...]

Modern human is vulnerable to various psychosocial healthaffecting problems. Often one does not realize his or her own behaviours or activities integrated into one’s daily life that in some cases can take pathological forms. Increasingly, and with renewed strength, emerge the activity addictions characterized by a lack of control and compulsion. We become addicted to shopping, tanning, exercise, gambling, work, computer or mobile phone. An addiction, consequently, restricts the freedom of the individual, leading to the deterioration of health and psychosocial well-being. It seems, therefore, necessary, to implement comprehensive measures based on comprehensive approach to the problems in question.
