Item type:Publication, MACEDONIAN EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERVENTION: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES(Armenian State Pedagogical University after Khacatur Abovyan, 2025-09-29); Dukovska, ValentinaEarly childhood intervention is vital in supporting the development of children with disabilities or those at risk of developmental delays. Despite its well-known benefits, Macedonian Early Childhood Intervention services still encounter significant challenges. This study included 33 ECI professionals nationwide, who participated in six focus group discussions. The focus groups addressed the daily obstacles these professionals encounter - from screening procedures to parental involvement in Early childhood intervention services. Participants highlighted the lack of standardized Early childhood intervention protocols, the need for ongoing training, and greater financial support from the state. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, REFRACTIVE ERRORS AND BRUSHFIELD SPOTS IN DOWN SYNDROME WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: A CASE REPORT(University of Tetova, 2026-06-08) ;TATESHI, ErmirshaDown syndrome is the most common chromosomal aneuploidy and is associated with an increased risk of various medical conditions, among which ophthalmological disorders are particularly significant. Their high prevalence, especially when co-occurring with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), complicates clinical assessment and necessitates a coordinated multidisciplinary approach. This paper presents the case of a six-year-old female patient with Down syndrome and ASD, in whom myopic astigmatism was diagnosed and pronounced Brushfield spots were observed along the entire limbus. The findings emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis, individualized strategies for the correction of refractive errors, and consistent parental involvement, which in synergy contribute to optimizing visual function and improving quality of life. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, TEACHERS' READINESS TO DEVELOP AN INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL PLAN FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS(University of Tetova, 2026-06-08) ;ALILI, BlertaDIMITROVA RADOJIQIQ, DanielaThe importance of vision in human life is known to everyone. We can think of our eyes as the window to the outside world. With the ability to see, we can perceive light, color, shape, movement, size, distance, the position and relationships of objects in space, or their totality. Many tasks depend on normal vision. Therefore, visual ability is used. Many interesting things about the world can be learned through educational written and visual materials. Regarding the environment, we use visual cues when going from one place to another. Socially, visual cues help us decide whether our behavior is appropriate by looking at people's faces and body language. People use visual information to identify their friends, their jobs, and the sports they will play. Therefore, when there is any visual impairment, each individual must make changes in their learning methods depending on the amount of residual vision they possess, and find new ways to compensate for the lost information in social life, entertainment, and career choices. The research included a sample of 110 respondents, which consists of 110 teachers from regular schools, which are included in inclusive education, in regular primary schools in the municipality of Tetovo. The results of this research show that educators of regular primary schools are willing to work with people with damaged vision, also to cooperate with colegues for achieving success in inclusive schooling. As we could notice by the results, the primary schools in Tetovo had five blind students, wich leads us to belive that the awareness of people upon the education and inclusion of blind people in public and inclusive schools is still very low. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Concept formation in students with visual impairments: evidence from a free association study(Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Zagreb, 2026-06-29); Ognenova, EmilijaConcept formation in children with visual impairments develops under conditions of reduced visual access, often resulting in greater reliance on linguistic, auditory, and tactile sources of information. Understanding how these students construct meaning is important for the development of effective inclusive educational practices. The present study examined conceptual understanding and language associations in students with visual impairments, with particular attention to symbolic and sensorybased representations across different semantic domains. The sample included 31 students, aged 9 to 19 years, from North Macedonia. Participants completed a free association task involving 25 concepts grouped into four categories: colours, natural phenomena, living organisms, and physical processes. Responses were analysed using quantitative and qualitative approaches in order to identify dominant association patterns. The results indicate a strong tendency toward symbolic and descriptive associations. Natural phenomena frequently served as central reference points, whereas associations related to animals and direct experiential knowledge were less common. Participants generated an average of 0.99 associations per stimulus concept in the domain of living organisms and 0.89 associations in the domain of physical processes. Overall, the results suggest a predominance of linguistically-mediated conceptualisation, rather than direct experience-based conceptualisation. The study further indicates that students with visual impairments tend to construct conceptual knowledge primarily through language and multisensory experience. Although conceptual organisation abilities appeared more developed in older participants, difficulties remained more noticeable in abstract semantic domains. The results highlight the importance of structured multisensory instruction and enriched experiential learning in supporting concept development among students with visual impairments. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, A Brief History of Sexuality: Periodisation of the Origins of Sexual Taboos and Norms in Eastern and Western Cultures(National Documentation Centre (EKT), 2026-06-30)This paper examines the historical periodisation of sexuality and the development of sexual taboos in Eastern and Western cultures. Through an analysis of archaeological, mythological, religious, and anthropological sources, it demonstrates that sexuality is a culturally constructed, rather than a universal, phenomenon. Eastern traditions have generally treated sexuality as a natural and spiritual force, whereas Western thought – influenced by Greek dualism and Judeo-Christian norms – developed a repressive discourse regarding the body and sexual practices. Particular attention is paid to same-sex relations in Ancient Greece, the development of the incest taboo, and historical shifts in the normative structures regarding female sexuality. The analysis indicates that sexual norms and taboos are historically variable and strictly correlated with religion, political systems, and social power.
