THE SECURITY SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA AND THE COVID-19 PANDEMICS
Get PDFToday we live in a time characterized by enormous development of science, technique and technology. That fact, in itself, implies certain socio-economic changes that were not present in the past. If in the past, the greatest danger that threatened humanity was the wars, which were characterized by the use of various artillery, offensive and other weapons, today we are definitely moving to another, more advanced cultural-historical-civilizational stage of society, as well as of man as a social being. At this stage, classical warfare is no longer the biggest threat to the security of nation states, but on the contrary, hybrid, asymmetric threats, organized crime, corruption, computer fraud, environmental threats and of course new types of epidemic threats
HUMAN RESOURSES IN MODERN TRADE COMPANIES
Get PDFIn the contemporary and highly dynamic surrounding conditions, now, business more than ever depends on: attracting, detaining and effectively taking advantage of, basically, chronically scarce resource - highly professional and skilled staff. In addition, competitive ability on human resources in contemporary trade associations, because of the entire business climate, is quite dynamic and constantly exposed by many factors. The most complex, at the same time, of the most essential importance are: The constant changes of the legislation in the area of the organization in the trade associations, the conditions of the defined market, the intense competition, as well as the fastidiousness and emerging requirements from the clients, in other words the consumers. All this has its own particular influence on the professional parameters for work, thereby making an additional pressure on the constantly disposable resources. Human resources in one trade association include all the employees, irrespective of their position, education or their level of commitment. Basically, contemporary conditions of management are protecting the human as a crucial resource for the company, in which he largely determines the competitive ability of it. On the account of preserving, and above of all, the development on the competition ability on one trade association in a defined business area is in a direct interaction of instruction: new standards, skills, knowledge and ethics in business. All of this is a precondition for survival and satisfying needs, as long as there is a wish to achieve success in more intense conditions for work and survive on the only relevant place where all that is valued - the market

ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIAL NETWORKS’ IMPACT ON DEMOCRACY DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFThe Internet and social networks are of high importance in the modern world we live in. Whatever their perception is, whatever they are used for, they have a big influence over the people’s lives and they are main drivers for the changes that cause new challenges. The accessto the Internet and the contents placed on the network enable non-selective access to the contents in which the users are interested. The users can read arguments of opposing parties for the subjects they are interested in. So, in this study, we have analyzed the Internet users’ interest in using social networks in R. N. Macedonia, of the growth of the Internet users number, and the users’ interest in accessing the digital media sites. Based on such a cross-sectional analysis, and an analysis of the corresponding literature in this area, some concluding considerations on the democracy development in our country, have been brought
MACEDONIAN CASE L.R. IN FRONT OF EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS - WHAT WENT WRONG?

Macedonia stands out form the rest of the Macedonian cases in front of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), since a nongovernmental organisation lodged an application on behalf of a mental patient. Moreover, ECHR noted that there has been a violation of the Article 3 of the Convention on account of the inappropriate placement of the applicant in the Rehabilitation Institute, where he endured a lack of requisite care provided and he was subject to the inhuman and degrading treatment. In addition, ECHR found one more violation of the Article 3, i.e. the respondent State failed to discharge its procedural obligation regarding theeffective investigation. Having in mind the above, the Paper shall focus on the applicant - a mentally disabled eight-year-old child, as well as on the noted violations of the Convention’s Article 3.

The results show that teachers do possess knowledge to do with creativity, but when it comes to facilitating development of these skills, some aspects could use improvements
THE EFFICIENCY OF MEDIA IN TEACHING ESL LISTENING SKILLS
Get PDFThe rapid growth in computer technology among linguists and literary researchers has opened up the way for the introduction of computers into language teaching and learning. The Internet has the potential to provide a new learning environment that has rich digital, textual, graphic, audio, and video features for the language learning approach. Technology is useful for teaching listening because each type of technology provides opportunities for students to expand their ranges of listening strategies. The aim of the paper is to investigate the efficiency of various kinds of media (audio, video and multimedia) in teaching listening skills in particular in an ESP classroom.

CONTENT CHANGES OF NATRIUM CHLORIDE AND NITRATES DURING MATURATION PERIOD IN FERMENTED SAUSAGES
Get PDFThe paper presents the dynamics of changes in the content of natrium chloride and nitrates in fermented sausages produced in the local meat industry, from the beginning until the end of maturation period (3; 7; 14; 20-day). Sausages are produced using Glucon Delta Lactone (GDL) additive and starter cultures. The addition of natrium chloride and nitrates has great influence of the overall enzymatic process and of the achieved degree of ripening and drying. In relation to the content of salt, the produced sausages are in accordance with the production technology and in accordance with the Rulebook for Quality of the products produced outside our country
TOBACCO BIOMASS AS SOURCE OF BIO-BASED MATERIALS
Get PDFTobacco is widely cultivated as an important nonfood economic crop throughout the world, and large amounts of biomass are generated during the vegetation and post-harvest processes. Biomass has a complex composition, including large amounts of sugars, proteins and oil can be used to produce animal feed, as well as lignin and hemicellulose for energy. This study is conducted with the focus on the application of biotechnology for the production of biomass-based materials from tobacco through research and literature review. The study focused on three objectives, examining the potency of tobacco seeds and stalks, obtaining and handling raw materials and their application. Leaves contain about 1–4 % fatty acids per dry weight, and seeds contain about 40 % oil, which makes them good sources for biofuel. Because of the high contents of lignin (40-45 %) and cellulose (28-40 %), tobacco stalks can be used for production of briquettes, pellets, and ethanol
