The emergence of the entrepreneurship model gave rise to new spaces for exchange and debate around strategic choices and directions for development. This article focuses on the case of the regional committees of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH) which operates to implement the program following a participatory approach bringing together elected officials, officers and representatives of civil society. The objective is to study the capacity of associative activists to participate in the INDH program following a systemic approach based on the theory of capacities and the socioconstructivist theory of communicational action. In order to do this, a qualitative methodology, mobilizing the case study and the semi-directional interview was put in place with the following results: the inability to achieve inter-understanding between the different actors due to socio-cultural and structural elements constituting the participatory practice, and the restriction of this participatory practice to a simple means of legitimizing local public policies.

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-control on the relationship between perceived helicopter parental attitudes and problematic online gaming among emerging-adult online gamers. 186 gamers from Turkey were reached using a cross-sectional online survey. According to the results obtained in this study, self-control was negatively associated with problematic online gaming and perceived paternal helicopter parenting attitudes. Also, problematic online gaming was positively correlated with perceived maternal helicopter parenting attitude. It was further found that age, gender, and having previous psychiatric diagnosis were significantly related to problematic online gaming. Age had a positive significant correlation with problematic online gaming whereas those who reported having previous psychiatric diagnosis and male respondents also stated higher levels of problematic online gaming. Lastly, mothers were significantly perceived as having higher helicopter parental attitudes compared to fathers. However, the indirect effect was found significant only at paternal level. Thus, it can be concluded that the indirect effect was due to the tendency for those who perceived higher paternal helicopter parenting attitude to have lower levels of self-control, which in turn resulted in higher levels of problematic online gaming. This study offers novel insight into online gaming research, indicating that perceived paternal helicopter parenting attitude may lead to developing problematic online gaming among emerging adult children with low selfcontrol.

The Washington Agreement on Kosovo and Serbia economic normalisation (2020) is the subject of this enquiry, while its aim is to examine the role of news media in Serbia in the discourse on normalisation between Belgrade and Pristina. The main hypothesis is that the Washington Agreement was manipulatively used for self-promotion of political elites that negotiated in Washington. The research relies on Critical Discourse Studies, instrumentalist approaches to secession, media framing and agenda-setting theories. We conclude that the issue of Serbia and Kosovo normalisation in Serbian media is mostly framed with aim to mobilises citizens’ support for executive authorities. The media thus reproduce political hegemony within Serbian society, while pluralism is obstructed in a manner characteristic for competitive authoritarianism.

A century ago, the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1922 (Turkish War of Liberation/Asia Minor Campaign) was reaching its culmination point. The war was also fought in the pages of the Press. In this study, we look at the characteristics of the caricatures marshalled in the war effort by three publications. The Greek newspaper Skrip, and the Turkish satirical magazines Karagöz and Güleryüz. We find that most expectations based on semiotics and the concept of interstate rivalry are borne out. Depictions of the ‘Other’ are generally negative. That said we also find that Skrip dedicated the majority of its caricatures to targeting the internal ‘Other’, the Venizelist faction during the National Schism, in contrast to the more focused targeting of the Greek ‘Other’ by the Turkish publications. This finding indicates the dominance of domestic conflicts over the external conflict even during the inflation point of the Greek-Turkish Interstate Rivalry of 1866-1925.

Audiovisual texts are social semiotic constructions that arbitrate reality according to a set of discursive patterns and established beliefs. Therefore, it is natural for translators to re-create and manipulate audiovisual texts to overcome challenges pertaining to religion, culture, and politics, which are the three intrinsic determinants of positioning in any translation project. Leaning on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a methodological approach, this paper aims to investigate how stereotypes and disparagement humour about Arabs and Muslims are dealt with in translating a segment from Family Guy into Arabic. The focus of the paper is on examining ideology-related shifts, and how and to what degree the students manipulated or mitigated religio-cultural barriers, as well as on assessing the role of visuals in the decision-making process. The students’ translations denote the inextricable intertwining of their authoritative voices and the act of translation, that is, some students consciously attempted to expose the writers’ intentions, while others subverted the text as a protective and resistive measure against the anti-Islamic, racist, sexual humour of the show.

Loneliness is an emotional state that can occur anytime and anywhere since the existence of humanity. Although this feeling is known by everyone, of course, it can be experienced in different ways according to the characteristics of each individual’s own life form. Lonely individuals may develop this feeling when they are unable to establish a satisfactory connection with others or are dissatisfied with their own position, and this is often not directly related to the actual number of people around them. Despite all this, it is not correct to say that being alone is essentially a positive or negative situation. What is important here is how the person is alone, how he/she experiences loneliness and how he/she manages this feeling. The study aims to question how the feeling of loneliness, which has representations in the modern world and is a subjective phenomenon, is constructed in cinema. It is thought that the universe of cinema has an important effect on conveying different forms of loneliness through characters and understanding the essence of loneliness. For this reason, the movie Azizler (2021), which stands out with the theme of loneliness, was chosen as a sample and analyzed with the critical film analysis method. Thus, the ways in which the three main characters in the movie experience the feeling of loneliness were examined, and the transfer of different states of loneliness to the audience through the characters was discussed.

The present study focuses on the social phenomenon Erasmus +, and is a qualitative research that reveals how young people adapt to a new cultural and social environment, while seeking to understand the impact and benefits of such an experience for them. We addressed theories and concepts such as: cultural shock, social learning theory, intergroup contact hypothesis, intercultural tolerance, but also social and cultural capital. The research subjects were young people between the ages of 18 and 30 who participated in the study or volunteered for the mobility for at least 2 months. The results showed that such an experience increases the tolerance level of young people, who adapt, during a relatively short time of about 2 months, to a new socio-cultural environment. This social phenomenon can also be called "Erasmus life", because young people start to consider these mobilities as a lifestyle.

Looking back on the recession and previous crisis, it can be seen that the pandemic witch humanity is still going through will greatly transform our personal and professional lives in many ways - trust in others, satisfaction and not the last, by the behavior of the leaders of the organization. Recent studies have shown that, in the context of the SARS-CoV pandemic, both organization leaders and employees are placing increasing emphasis on the importance of organizational communication. There was also a growing need for individuals to be informed as promptly and correctly as possible by the higher forums -governmental and local authorities, managers, etc. Beyond the communication aspects, the general behavior of managers will probably not be forgotten by employees, as human nature is directed, in such situations, towards a return to basic instincts. Throughout the pandemic, the most diverse reactions of organizational leaders were observed, often extreme, but also balanced, ethical, full of empathy, behaviors that will be seen at some point in life, in the culture of the organization, especially in the future, when new employees are recruited.

Classical metaphysics is no longer a credible basis for the practice of philosophy. Nevertheless, it is sometimes present in the form of aesthetic references. By evoking a specific vision of the world and values, it can shape the experience./ This article describes a phenomenon that the author calls the “New Allusiveness and the Simulation of Metaphysics.” Starting from empirical observation of youth fashion as presented on Instagram, the author draws attention to the ambivalent attitude of female artists towards metaphysicality. Their attitude appears to rely on an affirmative evocation with the simultaneous impression of fear or of the grotesque. Starting from the perspective of the cultural logic of hypermodernism, the author sees the need for a new kind of relationship to the values associated with modernism and postmodernism. The author notes that there has been a change in attitudes to irony and a lack of interest in depth. These have been replaced with a sense of hope, with faith, presupposition, and the possibility of meaning and order; however, being kept at a distance and lined with cynicism, they take on a simulacral character.

The paper investigates and presents the writing of the “Belgrade municipal newspaper – the official gazette of the city government” (Beogradske opštinske novine) about the First World War from 1929 to 1940. The texts that were dedicated to manifestations, ceremonies, and commemorations on the occasion of the First World War were analyzed to expose the post-war society’s memory of the war (“living memory”), their perceptions, ideas, and values about the war. Studying the “Beogradske opštinske novine “ on a qualitative level, through the main ideas of the articles and speeches of the participants at the events, one will see the cultural framework created by the municipal government of Belgrade.

The article is devoted to the issues of the correctness of facts and their distinction from opinions, on the one hand, and of the pluralism of opinions, on the other. The study deals with the radio show "Politically INcorrect" with Petar Volgin, broadcast on the "Horizon" program of the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR). Against the background of the war in Ukraine, the main research problem is how replacing the facts with opinions, represented as "pluralism", results in propaganda. The text demonstrates the similarity between the messages disseminated in the broadcast and Russian state propaganda regarding the war in Ukraine and its broader ideological context. Finally, the article examines the possibility of developing ideologically biased journalism, provided that basic professional norms are observed regarding the correctness of facts, fact-based opinions and a clear distinction between them.
