Moldova is facing a profound crisis. Although media institutions have, to some extent, been fulfilling their watchdog role, the country is vulnerable and freedom of the press is uncertain at best. The most influential media outlets, especially the television stations, are politically affiliated and often the personal property of politicians and influential businessmen. These media institutions exert significant influence on the public agenda, often determining which subjects are put forward according to their private interests, with no connection to the real needs of Moldovan citizens and society. The representation of issues that concern the public interest has narrowed considerably, while the representation of private, political, and/or economic interests takes centre stage. This makes it possible for politically, ideologically, or economically powerhungry stakeholders to manipulate public opinion. However, the media are not the only actors revealing social problems. The adversaries of democratic development are also ready to exploit existing vulnerabilities. This chapter focuses on the issues of corruption, weak state structures, national politics, and the regions of Transnistria and Gagauzia. Poverty and a lack of security also largely stem from these issues.

This chapter describes who or what controls the media and media consumption. The analysis emphasizes the importance of the power to control what Moldovans read, see, hear, and experience. Russian media is seen as more trustworthy then Moldovan media. The fact that much of the media is linked to the local political and business elite, most often to Vladimir Plahotniuc, but also to Chiril Luchinschi, Vlad Filat, Vadim Ciubara, Victor Țopa, Dan Lozovan, Dumitru Țîra, and Ilan Shor among others, does not help the situation. Television is still seen as relatively reliable, as it is the third most trusted source of socio-political information.

This chapter attempts to identify and characterize the main Moldovan opinion leaders, and link them to the political currents promoted by the main mass media channels. We classify the opinion leaders according to their political preferences, affiliations, and external orientation, supplemented by other personal history. A subjective look is taken at their lives and work experience, ideas they have promoted in the past, links with important people and organization, their interests, and other elements that can help to explain their actions in the public sphere. The chapter focuses separately on four groups: pro-government media and opinion leaders, non-Plahotniuc media and opinion leaders, promoters of Kremlin narratives, and emerging opinion leaders. According to our study, some of the most influential opinionmakers were Corneliu Ciurea, Serghei Ostaf, Veaceslav Ionita, Victor Gurau, and Alexandru Cauia, all of whom are linked to pro-Plahotniuc media and platforms.

Since Russia’s occupation of Crimea and its engagement in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, the issue of winning people’s ‘hearts and minds’ has become one of the dominating themes in the social sciences and the general public sphere. Geopolitical and political confrontation between states and societies based on different values and principles is also reflected in the strategies and policies that governments of such countries are applying in order to win the hearts and minds of both their own citizens and the citizens of other countries. Consequently, there is no shortage of studies debating and challenging the concepts of information warfare, hybrid warfare, propaganda or soft power.

The expansion of reflection on the position of people with disabilities outside of Western culture is of particular importance today. As a result of processes taking place in today’s world, our society is changing ethnically and begins to diversify in terms of culture and religion (migration processes, refugees, etc.). In this sense, it is important to recreate ways of defining disabilities shaped under separate civilizational and cultural conditions so that people with disabilities can receive effective help. The main purpose of this chapter will be to show the perception of disability shaped under the influence of the Muslim religion. Islam regulates all spheres of life of its followers, thus reconstructing the ways of perceiving disability in the Koran and sunnah will allow to show ways in which the followers of this religion define this phenomenon and explain cultural patterns of social reactions to disability.

Perpetrators of extreme crime often suffer from brain diseases which do not exclude legal sanity – schizophrenia and alcoholic disease. Traditional judicial practice regards them as mitigating circumstances which prevent the imposition of the gravest penalty prescribed. However, after the introduction of life imprisonment (1996) and life imprisonment without commutation (1998) judicial approaches deviate from that concept thus establishing conflicting solutions. The article argues that traditional concepts should be restored. The article is based on a case-law study and an in-depth analysis of a selection of cases.

Autorka tej książki jest psychologiem społecznym. Fascynacja konstruktem miejsca nie przysłoniła jej jednak głęboko zaszczepionego przekonania, że rolą nauki jest wykrywanie zależności i mechanizmów, a nie jedynie opis faktów. Fenomenologiczne opisy miejsc powinny zatem stanowić punkt wyjścia dla głębszej analitycznej refleksji nad prawidłowościami, których jednym z członów jest właśnie miejsce i jego cechy. Treść tej książki jest zatem swoistą hybrydą - próbą podsumowania wielowątkowych, również jakościowych, badań nad miejscem i jego rolą w życiu człowieka, próbą dotarcia do pewnych ”uniwersaliów miejsca„, które będzie można potraktować jako zaczyn ”teorii miejsca„, a także podsumowaniem ”pozytywistycznego„ dorobku badań, prowadzonych przez autorkę oraz jej studentów i doktorantów w ramach Pracowni Badań Środowiskowych, dotyczących związku człowieka z miejscem, jego przyczyn, konsekwencji oraz postaci, jakie może przybierać we współczesnym globalizującym się świecie.

The mode of thinking that we call common sense contains a fundamental paradox, namely how personal sensations - so personal that they are almost incommunicable - form the vision of an intersubjective mode that we share with others, but also the feeling of belonging and participation in the world which characterizes action. We will not be wrong to define common sense as the faculty of knowing, following Descartes, if we only specify that it is a way of broadening one's thinking and opening oneself to plurality. We will not be wrong to define common sense as a virtue, following Aristotle in his reflections on phronesis, if we specify that it is not a formal requirement or a Kantian imperative. It would be wrong to make it a capacity to act, formed in the spirit of a community of judgment by the expanded mentality, following Arendt. The quest for common sense starts from a historical reconstruction, passes through the critical examination of recent interpretations on the Kantian sensus communis and on Aristotelian phronesis, which follows by research on ordinary knowledge in phenomenological sociology, in ethnomethodology and analytical philosophy, to arrive at the definition of common sense as the capacity to know the indeterminate.

"The collective monograph is focused on the investigation of selected physiological and pathological mechanisms of voice, language and speech in the context of logopedic (speech language therapy), special edcuational and neurodevelopmental, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic research. These are twelve selected areas of specifics and deviations of communication, including respiration, phonation and resonance, articulation, intelligibility and understanding of speech, phatic functions, lexia and pragmatics of communication, both in the context of their development and acquired and so-called symptomatic (secondary) speech disorders. Individual sub-areas were examined with a primary emphasis on speech therapy and special pedagogical diagnostics and therapy using a mixed methodological research design, using special instrumental, test, registration and specific therapeutic methods, some of which will be adapted or newly created during the project. The publication has a transdisciplinary intersectoral character – it covers both the educational and clinical and counselling environment, uses newly adapted experimental and diagnostic methods and therapeutic materials and extends the current state of knowledge in the field of determinants of development and communication disorders in its individually and situationally variable form. The presented research responds to the long-term pandemic situation, and thus to changes in the assessment of changes and deviations in communication in the context of prevention and impacts of COVID-19, including innovated research methods and its enrichment with a combination of face-to-face field and distance electronic formats."
