Author(s): Emina Dedić Bukvić,Anida Manko,Meliha Karić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 8/2023

Media education is one of the basic human rights of each individual and it allows for critical thinking about the media messages and content, as well as developing creativity and awareness about it. It promotes the idea of social responsibility in regards to privacy, safety and each individual's dignity. Taking into consideration the importance of media education, this paper aims to provide media education for youth and develop their media competences to safely use the media landscape. Therefore, the paper aims to determine the knowledge, skills and attitudes which students of teacher training student programs at University of Sarajevo have about media. The importance and values of media education and media competences for every individual are determined through are view and analysis of recent and relevant literature. Thereafter, training for the students was organized commemorating the Global Media and Information Literacy Week. Within the training, the students explored the key features of media education, media rights and responsibility. Afterwards they were challenging the role of media in regards to youth and children's interests, and analyzing the media content for people with disabilities. At the end of the training, the students created info graphics in which they presented their key conclusions. The info graphics is published on the official digital platform Medijska i informacijska pismenost. Evaluation of the training pointed to the utmost necessity of investigating the knowledge, skills and attitudes of students of teacher training student programs at University of Sarajevo. The results show that the students, the future teachers, recognize media education as one of the basic human rights and that the safe use of media is one of the skills of media competences. They underlined that media education is an important tool in promoting critical thinking about media content and messages. Having followed media content, the students recognized that the creators of media content present children with disabilities in a way which induces pity in media consumers. Therefore, we emphasize using education to prepare children and youth to constructively and effectively use media and its potential.

CJELOŽIVOTNO UČENJE – PRISTUP OBRAZOVANJU KAO JEDNOM OD TEMELJNIH LJUDSKIH PRAVA

Author(s): Jadranka Herceg / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian Issue: 8/2023

Although lifelong learning represents the conditio sine qua non of today's educational policies, often misunderstanding the content and importance of lifelong learning, as a guideline for the development of the educational system, results in conceptual confusion. And while, precisely because of conceptual confusion, numerous different interpretations of the role of lifelong learning are being created, the fundamental, educational one is being forgotten, which should encourage an individual, from any age group, to learn, enabling him/her constant access to education and the right to recognize different forms of learning. The purpose of this work is to update the paradigm shift that occurred with the transition to lifelong learning, namely that instead of formal qualifications, which in the conditions of rapid changes in society cannot guarantee long-term security, the emphasis is now placed on the acquisition of competences, while the task of the education system is enable recognition of the same, regardless of the way in which they were acquired. The aim of this paper is to point out the need for the establishment of the Croatian Qualification Framework at all educational levels, in order to enable the transparency, comparison and transferability of qualifications between different educational institutions at the national level and their connection with the European Qualification Framework at the European level, through a common reference point, and these are learning outcomes. The author concludes that in the Republic of Croatia it is necessary to establish processes and systems of Recognition of acquired competencies as soon as possible, especially those resulting from non-formal and informal learning, in order to achieve the passability of the educational system.

PRAVA MALOLJETNIH PRESTUPNIKA KROZ PRIZMU RESOCIJALIZACIJE

Author(s): Ognjen Sredojević / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 8/2023

Juvenile delinquency, as a negative social phenomenon, means a form of criminal behavior by minors. This form of juvenile behavior is a social problem in every country. Special attention is paid to juvenile delinquency, by all European Union countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is still in the transition period. Contemporary literature defines juvenile delinquency as an impermissible phenomenon, i.e. from maladjusted to incriminated behavior. One of the understandings of such maladaptive behavior also refers to behaviors that are contrary to the usual and prescribed forms of behavior in society. Juvenile delinquency, as a form of socially unacceptable behavior, is a current socially negative phenomenon, which should certainly impose a need in the future for even greater involvement of the social community, and in order to act through state institutions to resolve the increasingly frequent cases of juvenile delinquency in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The criminal law position of juvenile offenders, both in modern criminal legislation and in the legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, differs from the criminal law position of adult offenders. In terms of juvenile delinquency in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the previous period attention to this issue was also contributed by changes in the criminal legislation of the entities of Republika Srpska, the Federation of BiH and Brĉko District, which treat the rights, position, resocialization and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders, in the sense of setting aside juvenile legislation from general criminal law provisions to special legislation on minors. This legislation is reflected in the new Lawon Juveniles, as lex special is, but which was still absent with changes at the state level. This change provided a normative-legal framework for the adequate treatment of the problem of juvenile delinquency. Also, within the framework of the general purpose of criminal sanctions against juvenile offenders, it is especially determined that the purpose of criminal sanctions is to influence the strengthening of personal responsibility, education and proper development of minors, all with the aim of resocialization, rehabilitation and his reintegration into the social community.

Editör’den: Doğal Afetler, Göçler ve Sosyal Dinamikler

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2023

Son yıllarda hem küresel hem de bölgesel dinamikler dolayısıyla ağırlıklı olarak göç konusunun uluslararası boyutunu konuşsak da maalesef Türkiye’de 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde yaşanan ve 11 ili etkileyen yıkıcı deprem felaketi, tüm ekonomik ve sosyal dinamiklerin yanı sıra felaketler sonrası ülke içi göç ve yer değiştirme konusunun da gündeme gelmesine ve tartışılmasına neden oldu. Depremler 1,8 milyonu göçmen olmak üzere bölgede yaşayan yaklaşık 16 milyon kişiyi etkilerken (Reliefweb, 2023), mevcut tahminler en az 2,7 milyon kişinin depremleri takiben ikamet yerlerini terk ettiklerini gösteriyor. Türkiye ile birlikte Suriye’yi de etkileyen depremlerde her iki ülkede yaklaşık 850 bin çocuğun da yerinden olduğu raporlanmış bulunuyor (UNICEF, 2023).

„Kwestia kobieca jest kwestią prawną”

Author(s): Helena Flam / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

In this article, the author considers women’s reformist milieus and women’s legal associations and unions, as well as investigates their development since the Weimar Republic until the 1950s. She discusses the actions of female lawyers educated in Germany as well as the activity of their associations with regard to the fight for equality. Even though German universities started to accept women as law students at the beginning of the 20th century – and women could not sit exams or work in their profession until 1922 (except for several Lands) – it did not stop women from establishing their own associations and being active in forcing changes leading to equal education, employment, voting, or family and civil laws for both men and women. Their efforts were terminated by WWII. Nevertheless, the experience they had gained in the public activities bore fruits during the mobilisation of women at the time of conflict with regard to the wording of the Article 3 in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Pro- i antynatalizm. Spór o sens życia i sposoby ratowania planety

Author(s): Robert Florkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2021

Successive generations have been raised and socialized to procreate in a spirit of pronatalism. For a vast majority of society members, parenthood is “taken for granted”. Anti-natalists argue with pronatalists, claiming that people should give up procreation as it is morally wrong. In their view, life is a string of suffering that is difficult to make sense of, while self-consciousness is a curse. A man emerges from non-being and quickly returns there. The return is often accompanied by mortal terror, which is the apogee of tragedy. Anti-natalists stress that due to the hegemony of the colossal population of homo sapiens sapiens, an unprecedented annihilation of the biosphere is taking place. Radical adherents of this philosophy claim that the voluntary extinction of our species would be the best solution to human problems and a chance for the entire planet to return to its balance. This position, so contrary to the cultural mainstream, is usually ignored, stigmatized, excluded, and tabooed.

Author(s): Anastasiia Zakusilo / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2021

This article is a contribution to the decades of disputes and reflections on civil society and its future. Since a large part of the fears and hopes associated with these discussions concerns the role of young people in supporting and developing civil society, the aim of this article is to present the results of a quantitative study conducted among the Jagiellonian University students belonging to the Z generation. Thanks to the fact that the survey combines questions concerning civic attitudes and civic engagement, the study grasps the specific characteristics of young people, which are often overlooked, and their possible impact on the future of civil society.

Zachowania gestyczne i wrażenia olfaktoryczne literackich i filmowych transbohaterów

Author(s): Anna Kujawska-Kot / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2022

The article deals with the problem of non-verbal forms of gender identity communication by transsexual characters. The aspects of pretransition and transition, such as the gestural behavior and the manifestation of one’s psychological sex by the selection of the right smell, were usually placed on the margins of scientific inquiry. However, properly selected literary and film fragments may serve as appropriate research material to present such issues as the role of gestures, facial expressions, ways of walking, the meaning of micro-movements of the face, and the choice of perfumes. The paper attempts to answer how the gestures, facial expressions, ways of walking, and even the choice of perfume of transsexual characters shape gender (re)presentation in public space as well as what functions play gestural behaviors, facial micro-movements, and perfumes in the non-verbal communication of transwomen’s and transmen’s gender identity. In the study of cultural texts, a montage technique was used. It appears that in the process of self-creation and the representation of their gender identity, the characters give important meanings to various trifles. Textualizing themselves, transwomen and transmen often fetishize their own faces; and on the other hand, experiencing their own faces can astonish with subtlety and synesthetic character. Intentionally selected gestural behaviors and perfumes are embedded in their bodytext to mark gender affiliation. Although these choices refer to the stereotypical body language of a woman or man and their smell, they do not have pejorative overtones. The ontic status of the stereotype is changing. It becomes an inspiration, a signpost, and a vehicle for communication.

Жените в полицейските служби в Република България

Author(s): Nikolay Arabadzhiyski / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The article presents the problems that hinder the career development of women in the Bulgarian police. Presented are the results of analyzes of national and international acts, strategic documents, as well as direct monitoring of the practice of recruitment and career development of women in Bulgarian police in the period 1990 – 2018. The author claims that in spite of the existing provisions aimed at ensuring equal access to State service for women and men in Bulgarian police and a unified system of professional career development, there are police positions that are not suitable for women. It is proposed that the Minister of the Interior designate police positions that cannot be taken by women, depending on the activities where gender is an essential and defining professional requirement.

Author(s): Mariya Aleksandrova Ivanova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The last two years have seen dynamic changes in teaching processes related to the functional capabilities of the digital learning environment. This called into question the applicability of popular learning methods in online learning platforms. This study discusses the problems of technological support of the learning process, the behavior of its participants and stakeholders. The variety of teaching methods allows for the creation of unique learning activities tailored to the needs of students. The choice of a combination of approaches and methods depends on the experience of the teacher, his commitment to the learning process and his attitude to communicate with students. Methods that are easy to apply and do not require special technological functions of online learning platforms are proposed.

Human Rights, Racism and Migration: A philosophical approach

Author(s): Dimitris Georgiadis / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2023

Today, one in every 50 human beings is a migrant worker, a refugee, asylum seeker, or an immigrant living in a ‘foreign’ country. Current estimates by the United Nations and the International Organization for Migration indicate that some 150 million people live temporarily or permanently outside their countries of origin (2.5% of the world’s population). Many of these, 80-97 million, are estimated to be migrant workers and members of their families. Another 12 million are refugees outside their country of origin. These figures do not include the estimated 20 million Internally Displaced Persons forcibly, displaced within their own country, nor tens of millions of internal migrants, mainly rural to urban, in countries around the world. Throughout centuries, philosophers from Kant to Walzer have debated questions of freedom of movement, state coercion and belonging. As Agnes Woolley has argued, these issues are given a new urgency in the context of climate change and the crisis of global capitalism, requiring us to face them with a ‘planetary consciousness’. Increasing ethnic and racial diversity of societies is the inevitable consequence of migration. Increasing migration means that a growing number of States have become or are becoming more multi-ethnic and are confronted with the challenge of accommodating people of different cultures, races, religions, and languages. Addressing the reality of increased diversity means finding political, legal, social, and economic mechanisms to ensure mutual respect and to mediate relations across differences. But xenophobia and racism have become manifest/obvious in some societies which have received substantial numbers of immigrants, as workers or as asylum-seekers. In those countries the migrants have become the targets in internal disputes about national identity. In the last decade, the emergence of new nation states has often been accompanied by ethnic exclusion. Migration in the modern world raises some of the most pressing philosophical questions. Aim of this presentation is to present the relationship between Human Rights, Racism and Migration.

The Fake News Phenomenon in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The Perception of Romanian Students

Author(s): Narcis Crucian / Language(s): English Issue: 46/2023

This article examines the impact of the fake news phenomenon in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. More precisely, it shows what negative effects they can have on a society, how the evolution of new technologies has simplified the dissemination of fake news, what measures the European Union has adopted against them, and how important media literacy is in the context of increasing audience resilience. Specialized literature suggests that rural residents, young people, the elderly, people with disabilities, and the less educated are the public types most vulnerable to disinformation. With this in mind, the author chose young students as his study group to investigate whether they are indeed vulnerable to disinformation or not. Moreover, the author chose two different categories of students to investigate whether the following profile (real or human) influences their perception of the fake news phenomenon. The basis of this study was an interview guide that was applied to a number of 16students (8 real profile students and 8 human profile students). The results of this study showed that young students know the motivations behind the spread of fake news and disinformation, they know that social media have amplified the spread of these two phenomena during the pandemic, and they are aware of the negative effects they have produced at the level of society as well as individually. Also, young students do not know the concept of „side reading”, the vast majority check information only after reading it, but use other techniques to check information.

Exploring the Congruence Level of Music and Product Category. A Content Analysis on Global Musical Ads

Author(s): Maria Mustățea,Adriana-Teodora Igrișan / Language(s): English Issue: 46/2023

The race to capture consumers’ attention has rapidly increased in the past years. Besides the importance of the channels, the elements composing an ad are as crucial as ever in promoting compelling messages relevant to the target group. Music is one of the mechanisms through which the interest of consumers can be aroused while enhancing the advertising message and giving it more nuance. There have been several attempts to understand advertising music better, but most of the works focus on individual dimensions. There is a need to understand advertising music choices more coherently and complexly. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive instrument of several items that help understand musical congruency within an ad. The paper provides a content analysis of 95 global musical ads for 2019–2022. The primary product/ service categories are reviewed, and the dimensions used in the analysis present the essential aspects of musical congruency, underlining the importance of original music composed for the ads, the capacity to adapt to various music sources, and giving additional importance to elements such as pitch, dynamics, and tempo. The paper offers a bigger picture of the musical landscape in advertising and interweaves music knowledge and elements with advertising purposes.

Transmission Mechanisms of the European Union Climate Policy to the Polish Energy Policy

Author(s): Rafał Matusik / Language(s): English,Polish Issue: 1/2023

Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify and describe the relationship between climate policy of the European Union and energy policy of Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The main research problem is to understand the mechanisms of policy transmission from the European Union level to Poland and to evaluate these transmission mechanisms from the point of view of energy policy coherence. The article rests upon the results of qualitative research based mainly on official documents and the law. Findings: The article is a synthetic presentation of the policy transmission mechanisms. It points out methodological problems in the fundamental policy assumptions. Research limitations/implications: The study is limited by the potential bias of some lobbying sources, as well as the fact that energy policy development is a process. Programs are constantly being developed, which in turn means that some assumptions may be modified due to changing circumstances. Originality/value: The originality and value of the article manifests itself in a context-free diagnosis of the goals, effects and methods of implementing the tasks adopted in the climate and energy policies of the European Union and Poland.

The Impact of the Outbreak of Russia-Ukraine War on Commodity, Stock and Cryptocurrency Markets

Author(s): Jacek Karasiński,Jan Zadrożny / Language(s): English,Polish Issue: 1/2023

Purpose: This paper analyzes the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 on returns of three groups of assets, i.e., commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.Methodology: The study was conducted using the event study method which allows for quantifying the reaction of market participants to releases of various types of information.Findings: The cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) suggest a mostly positive effect of the conflict outbreak on returns of several commodities, especially precious metals. The obtained results suggest that in times of global crises, investors may consider precious metals as a safe haven. The study also indicates that on the event day the examined stock markets reacted negatively to information about the war, but to varying degrees. The Russian aggression against Ukraine did not affect the cryptocurrency markets in a statistically significant manner.Research limitations: The future studies related to the issue of the impact of Russian aggression against Ukraine on different markets may utilize larger research samples. They also may look for some factors affecting the reaction of markets to information related to the Russian military aggression, like the size of markets, trading volume, or geographical proximity, and economic dependence in the case of equity markets.Value: The study may provide some practical implications for both investors and regulators, especially in relation to the expected behavior of the markets and their informational efficiency in times of global crisis.

An Approach to Data Representation and Processing of Knowledge from the Bulgarian Folklore

Author(s): Veneta Tabakova-Komsalova,Asya Stoyanova-Doycheva,Alexander Petrov,Laska Kostadinova-Tzankova / Language(s): English Issue: XIII/2023

In the context of global and high-tech development, cultural fields are often overlooked during these transitions. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention to their inclusion. Cultural-historical heritage, which has undergone centuries of changes, deserves to be introduced into the technological world and made as accessible as possible to society, without territorial or border restrictions. Digitizing a part of this heritage, including folklore, can make it high-tech while preserving its character, peculiarity, and identity. This article examines the digitalization of Bulgarian cultural and historical heritage. It explores existing international standards for presenting cultural heritage and proposes a formalism for an adequate presentation of knowledge in the field of Bulgarian folklore. This article presents the first version of a model for the formal description of objects from Bulgarian folklore. We provide examples of the formal presentation of objects from Bulgarian folklore and their corresponding computer implementation.

Digital Storytelling Approach for Environmental Challenges and the Early School Leaving Prevention

Author(s): Michela Tramonti,Alden M. Dochshanov,Fabrizio Casadio / Language(s): English Issue: XIII/2023

Given the rapidly evolving nature of the labour market, it is crucial to develop individuals' soft skills to ensure effective job performance. To achieve this, teaching methods should prioritize the development of soft skills among students. One such instructional method is digital storytelling, which has been recognized as an essential tool for developing future workforce skills such as creativity, critical thinking, digital literacy, and communication skills. Two European Commission-funded projects under the Erasmus Plus Programme that utilize digital storytelling in education and training to help individuals and organizations adapt to the digital age are presented in the paper as examples of initiatives promoting this approach: The BIG_GAME and the Digital Stories.

Školstvo vo Vojvodine v období rokov 1918 – 1929 (s dôrazom na práva minorít)

Author(s): Jan Hrćan / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2022

One of the most vital questions that needed to be answered concerning national minorities in Yugoslavia after the First World War, or rather after the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, was the question regarding the usage of their native language. In this study I will dedicate myself to discussing the government´s academic, school or rather educational politics towards minorities in the period between the two world wars. I will be focused on discussing the specific administrative and legal regulations regarding the representative minorities in Vojvodina and the whole of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes respectively. Opportunities regarding education in Vojvodina were diverse and there was no real consistency when it comes educational politics. The state finally revoked the 37 different provincial laws and regulations and put in place unanimous school regulations for the entire state in 1929 with the goal of unifying all social, political and public aspects of the Yugoslavian national basis. This study will exemplify how the state acted towards minority groups after establishing a new state and will illustrate the most important laws and law proposals regarding the use of their native language.

Spotřeba alkoholických a nealkoholických nápojů v Československu na stránkách časopisů Výživa lidu a Průmysl potravin v 50. letech 20. století

Author(s): Zuzana Šmídová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2023

The study focuses on the consumption of beverages in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s when it evaluated the consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in a broader perspective. At the same time, it analyzes the consumption of milk and hot drinks, especially coffee and tea. The text is based on professional scientific articles published on the pages of Výživa lidu (Peopleʾs Nutrition) and Průmysl potravin (Food Industry) in the period 1951–1960. While milk consumption declined, beer consumption continued to grow. Alcohol consumption was clearly dominated by traditional beer which showed increase despite expert complaints. Wine was generally consumed very little. Other alcoholic beverages, with the exception of spirits, also grew, but not as much as the beer mentioned, promoted musts, juices and mineral water did not become a suitable alternative. Consumption of coffee and tea increased slightly, while in the period under review did not exceed pre-war consumption. In general, we can say that there were still differences between the Czech and Slovak parts of the Socialist Republic, where beer consumption predominated in the west and wine and spirits in the east.
