The article describes the relationship between language and culture as well as the ways of discussing about cultural identity and cultural diversity at EFL classes to university students. The author offers an analysis of researchers' views of the interaction between culture and language and suggests some practical ideas for intercultural dialogue at EFL classes. The author of the article highlights the idea that knowing the language gives an appearance of understanding people of different cultures but does not give a sufficient knowledge about the foreign culture. Taking into account that verbal as well as nonverbal communication involves much more than transmitting a particular message and it reflects everyone's identifications, keeping their cultural values, the author of the article suggests several practical ideas for EFL classroom to provide a real interaction between cultures through comparison of different cultural values.

We argue that the principles and practices specific to the performance management can be used as levers in the education system and in the professional training of military personnel, especially in the higher military education system. We will focus particularly on the most important aspects of performance management: planning and goal setting, monitoring, evaluation and feedback. Beyond the conceptual aspects, we will discuss the implications that these practices have on the teaching-learning process and we will highlight their value in the military academia by elaborating on how they can be applied in three problematic situations. Thus, this article provides teachers and instructors in the military education system with learning-oriented methods that will create a productive classroom environment and highlights the opportunities that students have and the benefits at the institutional level.

One of the aims of the education system is social and professional integration of young graduates. But in the ever-changing world, we live in today, choosing a career becomes a very difficult task. Today's students, subjected to the flow of information from a very young age, enter school with a great deal of knowledge about the world around them. The extracurricular activities in which they participate during the school years open their horizons of thought and many of them may be attracted to several areas, thus being in a very difficult position: what to choose, when I find that I am attracted to more things/professions and I think I can do them well? Therefore, career counseling becomes extremely important in the life of any young person. Counseling refers to a process in which a professional establishes a relationship – based on trust – with a person who needs support. During this process, the young student expresses his/hers ideas and feelings about a problem and receives support in clarifying their meanings, in identifying value patterns based on which solutions will be formulated. The counseling process involves guiding a young person to a profession for which he/she shows interests and skills. At the heart of this process one can find self-knowledge, vocational education, career education, exploration and career planning

The report analyzes the characteristic features of the combat space for conducting unconventional warfare (Irregular Warfare-IW), taking into account the changes and peculiarities in the specifics and characteristics of combat actions at the current stage of the development of armed conflicts in different regions. By using the forms and approaches of intelligence anal-sis and taking into ac-count the requirements of the four successive stages of the intelligence cycle, the methods and ap-proaches are formulated for using the potential of the types of technical intelligence and of intelli-gence using the human factor in the interest of obtaining and interpreting information correspond-ing in volume and direction in the interest of the objectives and tasks of unconventional warfare (IW). The systematization of the obtained analytical assessments ensures the determination of the role and effects of conducting information and psychological operations with the use of modern information technologies in the preparation and implementation of unconventional combat actions (IW). The requirements for the specialized training of the analyst teams, performing analysis and evaluation of the obtained specific information regarding the characteristics of the unconventional battlefield and preparing the final intelligence product, have been determined in order of im-portance.

The aim of this paper is to describe the main advantages of the application of different types of planar antennas in security based on their design, functionalities, and limitations, considering that they are suitable for various applications such as AM radio (0.5 MHz – 1.6 MHz) and FM radio (88 MHz – 108 MHz), Wi-Fi (2.4 – 5 GHz), Bluetooth (2.4 GHz), control of access through identification systems with radio frequency tags (Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and mobile data. The analysis of software products for the simulation modeling of a wide variety of microwave devices, including planar antennas, contributes to the correct selection of a product that will satisfy the requirements for the credibility of the research and the reliability of the generated results.

The transition from an industrial and post-industrial economy to the so-called "digital economy" or an economy based on the networked use of information and communication technologies at the beginning of the 21st century has been considered as a major factor for economic growth. The overall construction of a digital ecosystem within global and national economies has been assessed as a significant component of economic development and an institutional basis for sustainable growth, competitiveness and a high standard of living. The formation is traced and a generalized definition of the concept of "digital economy" is given, and the leading role of information and communication (digital) technologies in the modern economy is emphasized.
