Family and Marital Counselling In Centres For Social Work in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Challenges and Policy Implications
Get PDFWorking with families is one of the most important tasks for the social work profession. In primary prevention, the most crucial task is to develop humane relationships among marital partners. Additionally, an essential segment of preventive social work involves educating and preparing youth for marriage and family and educating them about responsible parenthood. In secondary prevention, an important task of social workers is to help overcome marital conflicts. This highlights that family and marital counseling is one of the key tasks of social workers.
Using QCA, the capacities of five centers for social work in Bosnia and Herzegovina in conducting marital and family counseling were analyzed. The experiences of counseling experts (N=10) were compared through semi-structured interviews. Various challenges and problems were identified that prevent centers for social work from being leaders in counseling. Family and marital counseling represents a complex and responsible task that requires expertise and competencies. The lack of systemic solutions, inconsistent norms and standards, and limited capacities of centers for social work slow down the development of quality counseling in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The data indicates that serious progress is needed in organizing the service, multi-sectoral cooperation, and institutional promotion for family and marital counseling to gain the place it deserves in social wor

The aim of this paper is to analyze possible scenarios of Ukraine war and possible global strategic consequences of this conflict, including development of transatlantic link of Europeansecurity and development of NATO Alliance until 2030. The outcome of the Ukrainian conflict will clearly determine future of political and institutional capability of the West, including NATO and European Union. The same issue will apply for Russian Federation and future of non-West integration platforms, including BRICS, SCO and CSTO. Perspective of multi-polar global and regional security order over unipolar – the United States led global security order.Therefore, possibility of decreasing political, military, institutional and economic power of the United States, NATO and EU and possibility of further integration and development of BRICS, SCO, and CSTO is plausible. However, NATO Alliance has developed necessary strategies and taken necessary decisions in order to counter security challenges and threats stemming from China, Russian Federation and other global and regional actors.

THE SUBJECTIVE FACTORS IMPACT ON CONFLICT DYNAMICS
Get PDFRegardless of the level at which they occur, ie. from the lowest individual or local, up to the highest or global one, conflicts usually attract the most attention, when aggression and violence become a part of the conflict behavior. At the same time, in such situations the focus of all involved actors (direct and indirect) in the conflict is usually placed on the objective causes and aspects that have initiated the violence occurrence or escalation. It practically means that the importance of subjective aspects and factors for such conflict situations, is often put on the margins in conflict management approaches. Starting from the thesis that such aspects, above all: perceptions, stereotypes and the interpretation of past experience, also have a significant impact on the conflict constellation and structure, the paper analyzes their mutual relationship more specifically. Actually, behind the objective and visible values and assumptions about a concrete conflict, there are almost always in the background, other, deeper values and assumptions (perceptions, stereotypes, prejudices) that further complicate its nature and structure. Hence, the paper analyzes the essential characteristics of theseaspects, especially through the prism of their impact on the conflict dynamics expansion and complication. The purpose of such an analysis is to advance the awareness about the meaning and impact of subjective aspects on the conflict, as well as the awareness about the need for apply a broader and multidisciplinary approaches in dealing with conflicts
THE EVOLUTION OF TERRORISM IN THE INTERNET SPACE AS A SECURITY CHALLENGE
Get PDFAlthough a universally accepted definition of terrorism does not yet exist, almost all researchers of this phenomenon agree that it has existed since ancient times, evolves and very skillfully adapts to the new digital age. Terrorist organizations began to feel the benefits of the Internet as soon as it appeared, especially in fast communication, which, although at first it seemed not so secure, later with the help of the encrypted platforms developed by terrorist organizations, communication not only which has become much safer, but it has given even more courage to sympathizers to join the terrorist cause and make their contribution, whether they be the so-called “worker bees” (mujaheddin/mujaheddin - the diligent ones), or join the battlefields. This paper aims to highlight how terrorists use the benefits of the developed technology especially the internet. One of the things that emerges as a challenge is precisely the role that women play in recruitment and radicalization for terrorist organizations. Namely, a woman seems to go beyond the conservative treatment in the regions where terrorism is present. Thus, terrorism begins to use all possible resources available to it. Children also become apotential target for recruitment mostly in the internet space, but also in the gaming world. Like the uneven distribution of goods, the power struggle of the great powers, and at the end of the day, systemic inequality contributes to terrorism still being treated as one of the biggest security threats in the global world

Ќе се задржиме на ставовите, пред сè, на чешките лингвисти како што се Ф. Чермак, И. Вањкова, З. Куфнерова, но и на други научници, како што се Е. Хечко, Р. Маројевиќ или Ј. Млацек и Стракова
Гледните точки во расказот „Дамата со кученцето“ од Антон Павлович Чехов
Get PDFThe study is an attempt to re-examine the way in which in a short story from the period of realism under the title “The Lady with the Puppy” by A.P. Chekhov actualizes the ambiguous and subjective representations of reality. The analysis of points of view based on a structuralist, but also a philosophical perspective explains the dependence between the subject and the representation of objects and events in the world.Студијата се занимава анализа на гледната точка во расказот „Дамата со кученцето“ од Антон Павлович Чехов.

Get PDFНаративните постапки на Алена Морнштајнова како предизвик за преведувачот
Get PDFThe novels “Hana” and “Blind Map” are an exceptionally interesting example, since we faced a whole specter of influences when selecting past tenses in their translation. Therefore, the choice of tense was not entirely dependent on the context and the chronology of events in the novel, but on the acts of narration of the well-known Czech writer, as well.Во овој труд ги анализираме тешкотиите и дилемите при преводот на два романи од познатата чешка писателка Алена Морнштајнова: Хана и Празна мапа. Познато е дека преведувачот што врши превод на прозни дела на македонски јазик од јазик што не поседува граматички маркери на евиденцијалноста мора да биде претпазлив со изборот на конкретното минато време во преводот. Но, во преводот на наведените два романи се соочивме со сложен спектар од влијанија врз изборот на минатото време: изборот на времето не зависеше само од познавањето на контекстот и хронологијата на настаните во дејството на романот, туку и од наративните постапки на Алена Морнштајнова, пред сè поради умешниот премин од јас-наратор во сезнаен наратор, и обратно
Алтернативните форми на оценување во онлајн наставата по англиски јазик како странски во средното образование во Република Северна Македонија
Get PDFStudying online exchanged the traditional approach of teaching and the passive role of the learners with an interactive approach in which the learners and the teacher create the lessons together. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to reconsider the appropriateness of traditional assessment and to research the utilization of the alternatives in assessment, which correspond to online education. Тhis study establishes the level of implementation of the alternatives in assessment in secondary schools in the Republic of North Macedonia, the impact of self-assessment, peer-assessment and portfolio on learners’ motivation for studying, as well as EFL teachers’ and learners’ perceptions of these assessment techniques, by means of a survey-one for teachers and one for students. The results show the positive teachers’ and learners’ perceptions towards the implementation of portfolio, self-assessment and peer-assessment in an EFL online classroom, but also that their use is at a low level which requires improvement. What is more, these alternatives in assessment have a positive influence on learners’ motivation for studying and their overall success. According to that, it is necessary to come up with an efficient permanent implementation of these forms of assessment in the EFL classroom.Studying online exchanged the traditional approach of teaching and the passive role of the learners with an interactive approach in which the learners and the teacher create the lessons together.
