ANALYSIS OF MICROTREMORS BY MEASURING AND PROCESSING OF AMBIENT VIBRATIONS TESTS
No full textMicrotremors, small-scale ground vibrations typically with amplitudes ranging from micrometers to millimeters, have emerged as a valuable tool for studying various aspects of Earth\u27s subsurface properties and dynamics. This paper provides an overview of the methodologies employed in the detection, analysis, and interpretation of microtremors for a two-story reinforced concrete building located in Berovo
PRINCIPLE OF NON-REFOULMENT AND ITS LIMITS IN THE CONTEXT OF CONFLICTS IN SYRIA AND UKRAINE
No full textThis paper examines complexities and dynamics surrounding the principle of non-refoulment within the context of the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, both of which significantly influence European Union refugee policies. While one conflict is intrastate and the other interstate, each of them plays a pivotal role in shaping how refugees are received and treated within the European Union. The study explores the legal framework, practical applications, and arguments concerning exceptions to non-refoulment, focusing on its significance. Furthermore, it highlights contrasting responses that reveal disparities in treatment and pose challenges, such as contradictory safety assessments in Syria and variations in the European Union’s reception of the Ukrainian refugees. The swift activation of the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) in Ukraine serves as a model for effective international response, yet critiques emerge regarding unequal treatment and perceptions of racial bias. Conversely, the Syrian situation highlights the complexity of the crisis with debates over safety assessments and the reluctance of certain countries to accept refugees. While security concerns might occasionally warrant the categorization of refugees, such actions must strictly adhere to the principles outlined in international law and human rights norms. The study underscores the importance of upholding the non-refoulment principle in addressing the refugee crisis amidst present-day complexities and challenges
HEARING A MINOR AS AN INSTRUMENT OF PROTECTING THE CHILD’S BEST INTERESTS IN POLISH AND MACEDONIAN PROCEDURAL LAW
No full textThe child’s welfare has contemporarily become one of the fundamental, universal, and systemic values chiefly addressing authorities charged with applying the law, courts included.
While of supreme importance and not subject to valuation, the child’s welfare concept remains vague and escapes definition, encouraging its perception as a preventive mechanism for child objectification. Acts of international law present standards exercising fundamental human rights while constituting an obligation to introduce appropriate national-level guarantees. The paper attempts to compare solutions applied in Polish and North Macedonian procedural law. A confrontation of the experience of countries drawing on dissimilar traditions and models ought to encourage continuous improvement of procedural solutions, and their proper application in view of the special status of minors
BALANCE OF POWER AND REGIONAL COMPLEXITIES: NAVIGATING THE SECURITY DILEMMA IN THE BLACK SEA REGION
No full textThis article elaborates on the theoretical framework of the security dilemma concept through the lenses of regionalism by applying it to the geopolitical dynamics of the Black Sea region. The overall purpose of this study is to examine the strategic perceptions of the major regional actors and their impact on Eastern European security architecture. It explains how the parties\u27 behavior, indirectly involved in strategic competition and seeking to maximize their own security, unintentionally exacerbates regional tensions. Through empirical evidence and theoretical analysis, the research provides a deep understanding of the balance of power and the security challenges in this strategically significant area
SOCIAL MEDIA AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: A SURVEY ON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN TURKEY
No full textFreedom of expression is one of the most important foundational elements of individual realization and democratic society. Social media is the current most preferred and primary form of communication for young people. Social media is thus a crucial component of young people\u27s freedom of expression. On the other hand, social media offers a platform for disinformation, violations of privacy and hate speech. This survey aims to explore how young people exercise their freedom of expression and how they respond to abuses on social media. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey with Turkish university students is used in conjunction with an in-depth interview technique. The research will collect data on the familiarity of students about the definition and content of the freedom of expression, and use of social media by students, and the findings will be analyzed with the results of in-depth interviews
ТУРИСТИЧКА ПРОМОЦИЈА НА КУЛТУРНИТЕ ВРЕДНОСТИ ВО ГРАД ВИТИ
No full textКултурните вредности се создавале и се создаваат низ вековите низ светот, но и во земјата. Многу културни вредности се познати дестинации за милиони туристи ширум светот. Нашата земја има долга културна историја која има траги во сите правци, траги кои ги имаме и во градот Витија. Многу од нив се непознати за луѓето кои би требало да знаат за нив, и секако потенцијално да бидат посетени од туристи. Туристичките движења кај нас имаат културно да ги промовираат. Наместо туристичка историја и културни вредности, тоа е незадоволително иако има јавен потенцијал да се направи такво нешто и да се покаже туристички интерес. Дали разбирањето на туристичката промоција е најдобрата дефиниција за културните вредности? Промоцијата на културните вредности во туризмот значи ревитализација на предметите, организирање на културни активности, музичко-сценски продукции, разговори, поетски вечери како и разни изложби на уметност и занаетчиство. Сите културни објекти мора да бидат во целост и да не се одвоени од културните активности. 
AI impact on traditional credit scoring models
No full textCredit scores are an integral part of a bank\u27s lending process because they provide insight into the creditworthiness of each borrower. The traditional credit scoring models offer a standardized approach, but they come with certain shortcomings. AI and machine learning credit scoring models overcome the negative aspects of traditional models while offering banks and borrowers more accurate techniques for risk assessment. Even though AI-powered models are superior to the traditional, they do come with certain challenges related to potential bias, transparency, privacy, and regulatory compliance. It is anticipated that in the future, hybrid credit scoring models will most likely be developed by banks in their efforts to emphasize the advantages and reduce or eliminate the shortcomings of the different models
Islamic Banking-A challenge for the Turkish financial system
No full textThe Islamic banking model based on the zero interest rate or in practice, the enormously low reference interest rates and the fair distribution of profit and loss is seen as a challenge for economies that have long had the conventional economic model as their basis. The Republic of Turkey, which is one of the world\u27s largest economies, for ideological reasons made an attempt to introduce the Islamic banking model, which required a significant reduction in the reference interest rate by the National Bank of Turkey, and as a result of this, the country faced a rapid growth in inflation, which in a given period reached over 80%, the Turkish lira recorded a historic devaluation, and the Istanbul Stock Exchange noted significant oscillations in the direction of the accelerated growth in the value of the BIST 100 (XU100) index. The focus of this research paper is to examine the effect of the introduction of the Islamic banking model on the financial system with special reference to the financial market of the Republic of Turkey, that is, the Istanbul Stock Exchange and the representative index BIST 100 (XU100). According to the results of the research, it can be concluded that the Islamic banking model, which contradicts the principles of the conventional economy which was based on the Turkish financial system, has caused significant destabilization of the Turkish financial system, that is, the financial market. Namely, the growth of inflation contributes to the growth of the BIST100 (XU100) index and changes in the functioning of financial flows
REGULATORY ASPECTS AND FUTURE TRENDS IN DRONE MANAGEMENT THROUGH AN ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN AND NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORKS
No full textUnmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, represent a significant innovation in modern technology, which
radically changes traditional methods of work through the automated execution of tasks without the need
for the physical presence of a pilot. Since their initial use in military operations, drones have expanded into
a wide variety of civilian areas, including commercial applications, scientific research, agriculture, and
rescue operations. They offer significant advantages such as improved efficiency, cost reduction and
increased accuracy in performing tasks.
With the increasing use of drones, new challenges arise that require the adaptation of legal norms and
regulations. There is a need to develop legal frameworks that will regulate the safety of airspace, the privacy
of individuals and the responsibility of operating drones. The European Union has introduced significant
regulations, such as Regulation (EU) 2019/947 and Regulation (EU) 2019/945, which set basic rules and
standards for the registration, licensing and certification of drones and their operators.
As drone technology continues to evolve, legal frameworks must be flexible and able to adapt to new
conditions and challenges. With the continuous integration of new technologies into legal regulation, it is
possible to ensure the safe and efficient use of drones, while protecting the rights and interests of all
stakeholders
