Self-Determination in Patients with Intensive Care Needs: Care Management Implication
No full textHighly vulnerable people, such as those on permanent ventilation, are heavily dependent on medical, nursing and social support. The aim of the treatment of these patients is to make them independent of the ventilators - insofar as there is a potential for weaning from ventilation. This requires a considerable amount of time, especially for people with multimorbid diseases. In a clinical setting, the necessary resources for this are not available.
In a newly created transitional living form for out-of-hospital ventilation weaning, patients are closely supervised and supported in the weaning process by a multidisciplinary team in a homely environment. The transitional housing form is supported by research carried out by the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg. The evaluation of self-determination in a complex disease situation is one aspect of this research.
This paper is based on a study that included 54 guideline-based, semi-standardised interviews which were conducted with the patients themselves and/or relatives covering the aspects of medical and therapeutic care as well as housing and self-determination. The interviews were evaluated using content analysis. In a firststep, the categories of the analysis of self-determination are described. Furthermore, the results are exemplified with a case study.
Results of the study show that the perception of quality of life is closely linked to the possibilities for self-determination. The comprehensive medical, nursing and therapeutic support contributes to the well-being of the sick people, who should be informed about and involved in the treatment. The case study illustrates by way of example how self-determination can be achieved in the case of severely diseased patients (e.g. referring to their mobilisation, visits, spare time activities) and how compliance can be increased. It became evident that even in the case of lethal diseases whose progression cannot be influenced, a self-determined life is still possible
THE NATIONAL IDENTITY NARRATIVE IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MEMBER STATES FROM CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND THE EUROPEAN UNION: A RECENT CASE LAW ANALYSIS
No full textThis paper explores the argument surrounding protection of national identity whichin recent years has underpinned the relationship between the European Union and some ofthe Member States from the region of Central and Eastern Europe, particularly Hungary,Poland and the Czech Republic. It relates to cases where national governments (as well asother institutions at the national level such as national courts) invoke the ‘national identity’clause of Article 4(2) of the Treaty on European Union, concerning the EU’s duty to respectthe national identities of its Member States, in order to derogate from rules and principlesof EU law and justify actions at the national level that run counter to them (most notably,those related to compromising judicial independence, the rule of law, and democraticvalues).The analysis in the paper centers on Poland and the developments in this countryas a pertinent case in point through which the practical applications of the ‘nationalidentity’ clause are analysed, bringing into focus some more recent cases before the EUCourt of Justice and the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. Equally, the paper reflects on thescope and breadth of the ‘national identity’ plea, inspecting the limits of a Member State’sdiscretion to employ national identity arguments in order to derogate from the primacy ofEU legal rules and principles. Lastly, the paper also addresses the existence of a sometimesfluiddividing line between legitimate use and misuse (or abuse) of ‘national identity’claims by Member States, whereby the ‘national identity’ arguments are being used as apretext rather than an actual justification for contravening actions and practices
“I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING, AND I UNDERSTOOD NOTHING”: ON THE USES OF LITERATURE IN PIERRE BOURDIEU’S SOCIOLOGY
No full text Книжевноста има важно место во теоретскиот и истражувачки опус на Пјер Бурдје. Познато е дека неговиот главен придонес кон проучување на литературата е книгата Правилата на уметноста (Les règles de l’art, 1992), каде што ја елаборира теоријата на „полето на книжевноста“. Сепак, неговите врски со неа не завршуваат тука, каде што таа претставува директен објект на неговиот истражувачки интерес. Имено, еден површен поглед на неговите бројни дела покажува дека, речиси, и не постои книга во која тој, на еден или на друг начин, не реферира кон некој книжевен текст, најчесто роман, без разлика дали објектот на истражување е уметноста, вкусот, класата, насилството, државата или патријархатот. Имињата на Томас Бернхард, Емил Зола, Марсел Пруст, Гистав Флобер, Франц Кафка, Вирџинија Вулф и многу други – се присутни насекаде во неговите истражувања. Овој труд ја истражува оваа специфична поврзаност помеѓу социологијата и книжевноста во теоретскиот опус на Пјер Бурдје. Оваа врска, пак, нужно нѐ води кон централното прашање на овој труд: кои се посебните сознајни (или епистемолошки) капацитети на самата книжевност како посебна форма на искажување, кои ја прават различна од другите дискурси што зборуваат за општеството. This paper analyzes the link between works of literature and works of sociology in Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical oeuvre. Starting from Bourdieu’s premise that sociology and literature share the same referent (society) but confront it in entirely different ways, the paper analyzes the epistemological capacities of literary texts and their specific ability to bring about new and original knowledge about social reality. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part explores the different uses of literature in Bourdieu’s books and papers. The second part is a close reading of the first chapter of The Rules of Art (“Flaubert, Analyst of Flaubert”), in which Bourdieu elaborates on the epistemological potential of literary works

THE LEGAL STATUS OF SUCCESSOR STATES OF THE FORMER SOCIALIST FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA (SFRY) IN CONTEMPORARY NUCLEAR GEOPOLITICS
Full text linkThe objective of this research paper is to analyze the legal status of successor states of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) – namely, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia – as current non-nuclear-weapons states (NNWSs) in contemporary nuclear geopolitics. In that respect, the research approach implemented includes some comparative remarks on Yugoslavia’s nuclear program through Marshal Josip Broz Tito’s legacy, its international relations and nuclear cooperation with the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.) and the United States (U.S.) before its dissolution, as well as legal commentaries on the successor states’ nuclearrelated legislation and policy. With the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) built in 1981 as a joint venture by Slovenia and Croatia which were both part of Yugoslavia at the time, results derived from this research paper imply that the successor states should reinforce their position in global nuclear affairs through both national and international legislation addressing nuclear weapons, in addition to resolving the question of using nuclear energy within their respective domestic borders. By such virtue, the value of this research paper lies in the successor states learning from their Yugoslav past for the purposes of ensuring and strengthening national security as current NNWSs in times of nuclear tensions
STATE ADMINISTRATION AND COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE AUTHORITIES – THEIR POSITION IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM
Full text linkFor decades, terrorism has posed a significant challenge to criminal law science, political theory, and security studies. As societies evolve, terrorism also transforms, modifying and adapting to new circumstances. Defining and understanding the concept of terrorism serves as a foundational element for the work of national security agencies. However, the legal frameworks and organizational structures of state administration bodies in the Republic of North Macedonia fail to comprehensively delineate the role and function of each agency individually. Although these agencies operate based on the collection, distribution, exchange, and preservation of information, the prevailing perception is that all are responsible for monitoring security threats. In reality, no single agency fully assumes accountability. This paper proposes a unified security service structure that integrates the functions of intelligence, counterintelligence, anti-terrorism, and counter-terrorism, supported by a robust strategic analysis division capable of consolidating all information relevant to the nation\u27s security

No full textThis article results from an exploration in the production of knowledge about old age in socialist Yugoslavia. It particularly discusses the relationship between research and policy making, highlighting two contradictory tendencies: on the one hand, government bodies in Yugoslavia commissioned and funded substantial research in the social problems of old people, starting in the mid-1960s. On the other hand, policy responses remained deficient. I argue that one reason was the geographic concentration of problems of old age in villages, which were generally neglected by the government; this was manifest in the lack of pension coverage for private farmers and often miserable living conditions. My article is based on a close reading of Yugoslav social-science research on old people and on the analysis of archival documents about social policies in this arena. There is a particular focus on the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, where large-scale surveys of the situation of old people were carried out in the 1970s and 1980s, but where the government response remained insufficient. By the late 1980s, experts seemed to have given up the hope that their research might help to improve alleviating the lot of old people. My contribution is also understood as a rediscovery of a rich research tradition that fell into oblivion during the wars of the 1990s. Yet if we want to understand the dynamics of social inequality in Yugoslavia – as one of the reasons of its dissolution – we should listen to those contemporaneous voices
ЛАБИЛНИТЕ ГЛАГОЛИ ВО СОВРЕМЕНИОТ АЛБАНСКИ ЈАЗИК: КОРПУСНО ИСТРАЖУВАЊЕ
Full text linkThe goal of the study is to analyze the use of labile verbs in the modern written Albanian language based on the Albanian National Corpus, which contains over 31 million words. In this paper, we present our findings from a pilot study of eight Albanian P-labile verbs belonging to different semantic groups that are typologically prone to lability. The study has shown that the selected verbs behave differently. Only phasal verbs filloj ‘begin’ and mbaroj ‘finish’ demonstrate consistent lability. The motion verb lëviz ‘move’ is used as a labile verb, with a predominance of active intransitive usages, while the verb ziej ‘boil; seethe; ferment’ shows variation between non-active and active intransitive usages. Deadjectival color verbs zbardh ‘whiten; brighten’ and skuq ‘make/color red; fry’ appear both transitively and intransitively, but only in their basic color-related meanings. The verb of distinction and change dalloj ‘distinguish; differentiate’ primarily employs active intransitive forms in reciprocal meanings and morphologically non-active forms in other meanings, while the related verb ndryshoj ‘change; vary, distinguish’ behaves as a typical labile verb, with a secondary development of non-active usages.Целта на оваа статија е анализа на употребата на лабилните глаголи во современиот пишан албански јазик, врз основа на Албанскиот национален корпус. Во трудот ги претставуваме нашите согледувања од прелиминарното истражување на осум албански пациентивни лабилни глаголи, коишто припаѓаат на различни семантички групи. Резулатите покажуваат дека овие глаголи се однесуваат различно. Само фазните глаголи filloj ‘почне’ и mbaroj ‘заврши’ доследно покажуваат лабилност. Глаголот за движење lëviz ‘се движи’ се користи како лабилен глагол, но преовладуваат активните непреодни употреби, додека глаголот ziej ‘врие; зоврива; ферментира’ покажува варијација помеѓу неактивните и активните непреодни употреби. Деадјективните глаголи zbardh ‘обели; разјаснува’ и skuq ‘поцрвенува; пржи’ се јавуваат како преодни и како непреодни, но само во нивните основни значења, поврзани со значењето на боја. Глаголот dalloj ‘разликува, истакнува’ првенствено се јавува во активни непреодни форми со реципрочно значење и во морфолошки неактивни форми, во други значења, додека сличниот глагол ndryshoj ‘менува; варира, разликува, истакнува’ се однесува како типичен лабилен глагол со секундарни неактивни употреби
APPLYING NEGOTIATION PROCESS – THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Full text linkThere is no doubt that conflicts (violent or non-violent) are an integral part of therelations between different actors at both, the national, regional and international levels.Starting from this conclusion, there is an inevitable need for applying appropriate strategiesand approaches that will enable their efficient and successful management and resolution.It is exactly from such aspect that the significance of the negotiation process arises as aninstrument for peaceful resolution of open issues or disputes, through the establishment andrealization of communication between the opposing parties. However, as the experience todate in this regard shows, the realization of the negotiation process is not always establishedand realized in accordance with the projected visions. Hence, the focus of this paper isspecifically directed towards the analysis of the negotiation process essence, mainly throughthe prism of some of the existing theoretical and practical aspects in this regard. Specifically,by analyzing the characteristics of the basic elements, phases and models of the negotiationprocess, the aim is closer identification of the main challenges and perspectives related tothe applicability of the negotiation process
