Itinéraires entre trois mondes ?[1] Svetlana DIMITROVA À partir des années 60, les pays soviétiques se lancent dans une politique d’accueil de jeunes d’Asie, d’Afrique et d’Amérique Latine. À travers la formation des futurs cadres, l’URSS aspire à exporter le modèle soviétique dans les « pays en développement ». Ces politiques trouvent leur raison d’être dans les logiques de la guerre froide. L’accueil d’étudiants étrangers des pays du bloc s..
Monetary and Fiscal Policies in Bulgaria: Lessons from the Historical Record
No full textThere are two aspects through which an economic policy can influence the economic situation – monetary and fiscal. Monetary and fiscal policies have different and sometimes controversial goals to achieve by means of specific instruments. While the mission of central banks is generally price stability, governments usually set their goals in the realm of economic growth and employment. Fiscal institutions , however, often use inflation in order to derive revenues (seigniorage) and finance budget deficits. Hence, inflation is viewed as a public finance phenomenon (Barro, 1979; Mankiw, 1987; Grilli, 1989). The purpose of this paper is to present a historical perspective on the behaviour of the monetary and fiscal policies pursued in Bulgaria from 1879, when the Bulgarian National Bank was established (soon after the liberation from the Ottoman Empire). Furthermore, historical time series of monetary and fiscal indicators give us the chance to study the link between government budget problems, fluctuations of monetary variables and inflation dynamics in different monetary episodes.monetary and fiscal policy, inflation, exchange rate
Nurse\u27s role and activities at treating person with narcissistic personality disorder
No full textUvod: Narcisistična osebnostna motnja je kompleksna osebnostna motnja, ki zahteva, da se zdravstvena obravnava prilagodi značilnostim posameznika. Motnjo je težko zdraviti, saj je kronična. Temelj zdravljenja je v individualni psihoterapiji. Vloga medicinske sestre je, da osebo v procesu zdravljenja vodi, ji nudi podporo in pomoč. Medicinska sestra si mora postaviti tudi cilje, ki ji bodo pomagali pri delu s to osebo. Namen: Namen je celostno obravnavati narcisistično osebnostno motnjo in opredeliti vlogo medicinske sestre in aktivnosti zdravstvene nege v procesu zdravljenja osebe z narcisistično osebnostno motnjo. Metode dela: V diplomskem delu je uporabljena deskriptivna metoda dela s sistematičnim pregledom slovenske in tuje znanstvene in strokovne literature. Pri iskanju je upoštevan časovni okvir od leta 2011 do 2022. Uporabljenih je bilo skupno 38 enot literature, ki so bile iskane s pomočjo podatkovnih baz CINAHL, MedLine, Google Scholar, prek spletnega portala digitalne knjižnice Univerze v Ljubljani DiKul in iskalniku PubMed. Zaradi relevantnih podatkov, kot je vloga medicinske sestre pri osebi z narcisistično motnjo, so bili izjemoma vključeni tudi starejši članki, ki so bili odkriti že leta nazaj. Rezultati: Naloga medicinske sestre ni pozdraviti narcisistično osebnostno motnjo, temveč spodbuditi osebo k sodelovanju pri zdravljenju. Pri obravnavi osebe z narcisistično osebnostno motnjo se osredotoči na zdravljenje motnje oziroma izboljšanje njenega stanja. Razprava in zaključek: Vloga medicinske sestre ni, da bi spremenila vedenje osebe, vendar pa lahko globlje razumevanje te motnje ter ustrezen pristop in terapevtska komunikacija pripomorejo k uspešnejši obravnavi in izidu zdravljenja te motnje. Aktivnosti, ki jih medicinska sestra izvaja pri osebi z narcisistično osebnostno motnjo, so se izkazale za koristne.Introduction: Narcissistic personality disorder is a complex personality disorder that requires medical treatment to be tailored to the individual\u27s characteristics. The disorder is difficult to treat as it is chronic. The foundation of treatment is found in individual psychotherapy. Nurse is here to guide the person in the treatment process, provide support and assistance. The nurse\u27s role is to guide, support and help the person in the treatment process. The nurse must also set goals that will help her work with person who has narcissistic personality disorder. Purpose: The main purpose of this thesis is to comprehensively present the field of narcissistic personality disorder and to define the role of nurse and nursing activities in process of treating a person with narcissistic personality disorder. We want to determine the most important activities that a nurse performs in the process of treating narcissistic personality disorder. Methods: In this thesis a descriptive research method is used with a systematic overeview of Slovenian and foreign scientific and academic literature. Time of article\u27s edition was determined from 2011 to 2022. There were used 38 units of literature with help of searching databases CINAHL, MedLine, Google Scholar, through web portal of digital library of University in Ljubljana DiKul and PubMed. We took into consideration to not use articles older than from 2011 year, with exception to some of them to provide for relevance of the data, such as role of the nurse in treatment process of a person with narcissistic personality disorder, which were discovered years ago. Results: The nurse\u27s role is not to cure narcissistic personality disorder but to encourage the person to participate in the process of treatment. When treating a person with narcissistic personality disorder, the focus is on treatment and on improving it\u27s condition. Discussion and conclusion: The nurse\u27s role is not to change the person\u27s behavior, but a deeper understanding of this disorder and an appropriate approach and therapeutic communication can contribute to a more successful treatment and treatment outcome of this disorder. The activities that nurse performs with the person with narcissistic personality disorder have been shown to be beneficial

Towards automated knowledge-based mapping between individual conceptualisations to empower personalisation of Geospatial Semantic Web
No full textGeospatial domain is characterised by vagueness, especially in the semantic disambiguation of the concepts in the domain, which makes defining universally accepted geo- ontology an onerous task. This is compounded by the lack of appropriate methods and techniques where the individual semantic conceptualisations can be captured and compared to each other. With multiple user conceptualisations, efforts towards a reliable Geospatial Semantic Web, therefore, require personalisation where user diversity can be incorporated. The work presented in this paper is part of our ongoing research on applying commonsense reasoning to elicit and maintain models that represent users' conceptualisations. Such user models will enable taking into account the users' perspective of the real world and will empower personalisation algorithms for the Semantic Web. Intelligent information processing over the Semantic Web can be achieved if different conceptualisations can be integrated in a semantic environment and mismatches between different conceptualisations can be outlined. In this paper, a formal approach for detecting mismatches between a user's and an expert's conceptual model is outlined. The formalisation is used as the basis to develop algorithms to compare models defined in OWL. The algorithms are illustrated in a geographical domain using concepts from the SPACE ontology developed as part of the SWEET suite of ontologies for the Semantic Web by NASA, and are evaluated by comparing test cases of possible user misconceptions
What a Difference Context Makes: Comparing Communication Strategies of Migration NGOs in Two Neighboring Countries
No full textThis research study compared non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in the area of migration in two neighboring countries – Bulgaria and Turkey. Utilizing in-depth interviews with 39 NGO professionals in both countries, the analysis identified critical differences in public opinion dynamics, organizational structures and interdependencies, and government relationships. Further analysis unveiled how the local socio-economic and political context had impacted NGO communication strategies as well as the specific communication channels, public engagement activities, and social media campaigns in each country. Implications for communication scholarship during times of increasing migration flows and globalization are discussed.This article is published as Dimitrova, D., Ozdora-Aksak, E., What a Difference Context Makes: Comparing Communication Strategies of Migration NGOs in Two Neighboring Countries.

Multiple Social Identities in Relation to Self-Esteem of Adolescents in Post-communist Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Romania
No full textWe test a model linking ethnic, familial, and religious identity to self-esteem among youth in Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Romania. All countries are post-communist nations in Europe, offering novel and underexplored settings to study identity. Participants were 880 adolescents (mean age, 15.93 years; SD, 1.40) with Albanian (n = 209), Bulgarian (n = 146), Czech (n = 306), Kosovan (n = 116), and Romanian (n = 103) background who filled in an Ethnic Identity Scale (Dimitrova et al., 2016), familial and religious identity scales adapted from the Utrecht Management of Identity Commitment Scales [U-MICS; Crocetti et al. Child and Youth Care Forum, 40, 7–23 (2011); Crocetti et al. Assessment, 1, 2–16 (2015)], and the Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale [Rosenberg, Conceiving the self. Basic Books, New York (1979)]. A multigroup path model showed that ethnic, familial, and religious identities were significantly positively related to a single underlying construct of social identities. In all countries, youth with a stronger multiple identities reported higher self-esteem. These results are particularly valuable in addressing the scope of the proposed book by providing new knowledge on multiple social identities among under investigated samples from post-communist countries in Europe faced with dynamic societal changes. They also mirror increasing attention on multiple, inclusive, and intersectional identities as psychological assets for young generations
Institutionalization of Imported Rules in the European Union's New Member States: Bringing Politics Back in the Research Agenda
No full textThis paper sets out to explore the puzzle of possible institutionalization or reversal of rules 'imported' by new member states from Central and Eastern Europe during their preparation for accession to the EU. It argues that the institutionalization of formal rules adopted as part of enlargement requirements is not automatic post accession. New formal rules can be reversed, supported by secondary rules and institutionalized or ignored and not implemented. The paper proposes a politics framework that suggests that these different outcomes will be influenced by the environment of weak post communist states and will depend on the area specific configuration of formal and informal veto players and on the EU's ability to impose sanctions. In the case of non acquis imported rules, reversal of formal rules would be possible without sanctions whereas in the case of acquis rules, the likely outcomes are institutionalization or 'empty shells'. Another outcome, 'capture' of the new rules is likely in areas with distributive implications.enlargement; East-Central Europe; acquis communautaire; institutionalisation; administrative adaptation
