    РЕФРАКТИВНИ ГРЕШКИ КАЈ ДЕЦАТА ОД УЧИЛИШНА ВОЗРАСТ: ПРЕГЛЕД НА ЛИТЕРАТУРА
    (Medicus, 2024)
    Ермира Татеши, Беким Татеши, Даниела Димитрова-Радојичиќ
    На глобално ниво, се проценува дека има 36 милиони луѓе кои се слепи, 216,6 милиони со умерено до тешко оштетување на видот и 188,5 милиони имаат мало оштетување на видот. Една од најчестите причини за оштетување на видот е некорегираната рефрактивна грешка. Истражувањата покажуваат дека приближно 2,3 милијарди луѓе во светот имаат рефрактивно оштетување, но само 1,8 милијарди луѓе имаат пристап до офталмолошки преглед и ефективен третман. Со цел да се анализира застапеноста на рефрактивните грешки кај децата на училишна возраст, во ова истражување беа формулирани следните истражувачки прашања: Каква е застапеноста на рефрактивните грешки, кои рефрактивни грешки се најзастапени и дали постои семејна историја кај децата со рефрактивни грешки? Рефрактивната грешка е важна причина за оштетување на видот и слепило ширум светот што може да се спречи. Во моментов, преваленцијата на миопија го привлекува светско внимание бидејќи многу студии известуваат за драматично зголемување во последните 20 години. Раното откривање и лекување на рефрактивните грешки е важно за да се спречи трајно оштетување на видот кај децата. Дијагнозата и третманот на овие грешки е релативно едноставна и е еден од најлесните начини за намалување на оштетениот вид.

    <jats:p>Background: Early retirements and decreasing job retention rates have resulted in a growing shortage of nursing staff in the healthcare systems of many countries. Recently, the World Health Organization and the European Commission have joined forces to attract and retain nurses in their systems in a period of increasing demand for healthcare services, due to population aging. While recruiting and training new nurses is a necessary long-term solution, it is equally important for policymakers to focus on retaining the current workforce, as to ensure continuity of care. Aim: This paper aims to review current literature and to discuss the key aspects of this critical issue, focusing on the concept of healthy aging and its significance as a key strategy for retaining nursing staff. Design: This discursive paper explores published literature highlighting the interaction between aging and the challenges that nursing staff faces in daily practice. It also examines global trends in retirement patterns and proposes strategies to retain the aging workforce, with a particular focus on succession planning and knowledge transfer. Results-Conclusion: Both general and more targeted approaches that have been proposed are necessary to enhance nursing staff retention. These approaches include the concept of promoting healthy aging, which can play a key role in this regard. Implications: This paper addresses the nursing staff shortage, highlighting strategies that have been proposed as to prioritize staff retention for healthcare providers and personnel managers.</jats:p>

    The Attitude of the Christian Democratic Political Party VMRO DPMNE Towards its Members of the Muslim Faith
    (Филозофски факултет, 2025-12)
    Dimitriev Emil
    Abstract: Macedonia is living the fourth decade of its independence, building a new political system, different from the previous one. The new political system rests on democratic values, in an age of neoliberal pluralism. The new political system builds а mosaic of multi-ethnicity and multi-confessionalism. Political parties are the key factor within the political system, in which citizens organize and articulate their political participation. It is easier for the Macedonian left, represented by the political party SDSM, to accommodate the new situation as former communists and atheists and to nurture contemporary multiconfessionalism. The challenge is for the right, represented by the VMRO DPMNE political party, which from its establishment to the last Congress of 2021, its first ideological determinant was Christian democracy. Given that Macedonia is a multiethnic and multiconfessional environment, the parties are striving for their representativeness. Election analysis shows that the right is present in environments with Muslim faith. Further in the composition of the parliamentary caucus or mayors, the establishment of citizens with Muslim faith in the VMRO DPMNE party may be observed. It can be assumed that the Christian Democrats have Muslim members. A real sociological challenge is to investigate the attitude of this party towards its members of the Muslim faith, how it approaches and mobilizes them. As well as analyzing Muslim members’ attachment to the party, what their motives for membership are, how they are organized within the party, what common beliefs or values they share. An examination of this interrelation may provide the answer, why this party after 30 years of its existence and profiling as a Christian democratic party, at the last Congress in 2021, adopted a doctrine in which it profiled itself as a people’s party.

    Abstract: This paper provides a detailed analysis ofwarfighting functions during the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian forces against Russian forces, as well as the efficiencyof warfighting functions, which has a significant impact on the results of the war. It will cover the period from the start of the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian forces, from June 2023, when some victories were recorded by the Ukrainian forces. Through the analysis and processing of confidential and already available information from social networks, media and the Washington Post, and in accordance with the comparison with the US doctrine, a special emphasis was placed on one of the warfighting functions in Ukrainian counter-offensive, that is, the system for combat service support.The method of analyses and synthesis was used to summarize the results and arrive at the conclusion. Hence it is confirmed that in terms of the organization and implementation of the combat service support warfighting function, the Ukrainian forces have failed to meet the right requirements in the right place and at the right time. The main culprit in all of this is the lack of sufficient time for preparation and training of personnel for different models of the same type of assets that were donated by Western countries during the war, as well as the rejection of US military officials’ advice to use frontal attack along one axis.

    Politics and Religion
    (Филозофски факултет, 2025-05)
    Dimitriev, Emil
    Abstract: There is almost no other common evolution of two phenomena that builds its uniqueness and specificity on overlapping and separating at the same time, like the relationship between politics and religion. The axis around which both phenomena exist is the man, or in more recent times from the aspect of their political awareness - the citizen. The specificity of the coexistence of politics and religion, among other things, is based on the complexity of individual phenomena, on their place and role in social processes. What politics and religion have in common is that their identity is based on the concrete complemented by the abstract. In other words, their scope of action moves beyond the limits of the rational and empirically verified. The key to explaining this challenge is that both phenomena have belief as spiritus movens in their essence. One of the characteristics of the historical evolution and mutual influence of politics and religion is the process of refining, i.e. building one’s own identity. In the beginning it was more difficult to make the demarcation between them to establish the special specificity and identity, today modern societies establish the distinction to the point of absolute incompatibility. Even the personification of the two phenomena was in the beginning in the same persons, i.e. in one person it had the legitimacy to communicate with God at the same time and rule the people. In the past, one person usually claimed the right to the secular and the sacred, today those roles are clearly differentiated in different persons. Taken at the national level, Macedonia throughout history has built its own specificity when it comes to the relationship between politics and religion. Its specificity is based on the historical fact that glorifies our country as the country through which Christianity was spread on European soil, and is one of the routes for the spread of Islam in Europe. Today’s contemporary reality characterizes it as a multiethnic and multiconfessional country.

    PEACEBUILDING AND CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION – STRATEGIC ASPECTS
    (Филозофски факултет, 2023)
    Dimitriev Emil
    ;
    Pavleski Aleksandar
    Abstract: Today, in the 21st century, we can still talk about countries and regions around the world, with weak, unproductive and highly corrupt governing systems, with “social” systems in which basic human freedoms and rights are not respected, with weak or destroyed economies, with uncontrolled poverty, etc. Failed states provide ideal grounds for emergence and development of civil strife, criminality, and other updated or new security risks and threats that in general target civilians and commit massive human rights violations. On the one hand, such “updated”, redesigned and new security risks and threats easily extend beyond national borders, while on the other hand, the capacity of the International community for successfully intervening and dealing with them behind the borders, remains questionable. In this regard, the paper analyses perhaps the most promoted instruments of the International community on this plan in the past 30 years, i.e. peace building and conflict transformation. In fact, paper aims to identify what is distinctive about strategic aspects of the peacebuilding and conflict transformation as well as to identify their key dimensions. The paper does agree that such approaches and mechanisms need to be continually adjusted in response to the changing nature of threats, risks and conflicts, as well as that current theories must be adapted in order to take proper account of the globalization of conflicts and conflict interventions. Moreover, the paper highlights the need for a strategic approach of peacebuilding and conflict transformation that would consider both the factors that promote peacebuilding and those that exacerbate conflict at these different levels over an extended period of time from before the outbreak of violent conflict to well after its resolution.

    Профил на лидерство во функција на националните, регионалните и светски предизвици
    (Меѓународен центар за славјанска просвета - Св. Николе, 2022-06)

    АПСТРАКТ: Лидерството е една од најуниверзалните и секогаш актуелни теми. Taa e насушна потреба на човекот во многу области, иако за жал најчесто се врзува за политиката. Од друга страна дури и најобична прошетка во природа ќе ви ја даде една од поедноставните дефиниции за лидер, дека тоа е оној што го знае патот. Успешноста на било кое поле, особено ако се има одговорност да се предводи одредена група/организација зависи од мноштво знаења и вештини. Тие имаат своја база во предизпозициите на човекот од неговото раѓање, и се надградуваат преку процесите на социјализација, едукација и лични искуства. Живееме во време на хиперпродукција на експерти за се и сешто, и многу често сме во искушение на кого да го трошиме највредниот ресурс, времето. За мене кредибилноста на говорењето ја сочинуваат повеќе нешта, од кои најважни се познавањето на материјата и личното искуство поврзано со неа. Особено второто т.е искуството сметам дека претставува најоригинала трансмисија на емпирија. Притоа многу е важно тоа што се споделува да е актуелно, корисно и апликативно за слушателите.
