ePDF and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. During the consolidation of the welfare state in the 1940s, and its reshaping in the 2010s, the boundaries between the state, voluntary action, the family and the market were called into question. This interdisciplinary book explores the impact of these ‘transformational moments’ on the role, position and contribution of voluntary action to social welfare. It considers how different narratives have been constructed, articulated and contested by public, political and voluntary sector actors, making comparisons within and across the 1940s and 2010s. With a unique analysis of recent and historical material, this important book illuminates contemporary debates about voluntary action and welfare.

THE ROLE, POSITION AND CERTIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANTS

There are many questions about the role of accountants in the age of globalization, the greatest achievement and growing international mobility of capital, commodities, ideas and people. The role of a management accountant has become significant, not only at the corporate level but also nationally and internationally. His position has primarily undergone metamorphosis from a numerical reporter to a senior information decision support specialist, business management partner, internal consultant, organizational educator, etc. The certification of management accountants stems from the understanding and the need for this responsible profession to be of a licensed nature associated with very high educational and professional requirements in countries with advanced accounting. The certification of accountants and auditors is envisaged in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while there is currently no specific certification for a certified management accountant. The accounting profession has developed its ethical standards, which have been adopted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also apply to management accountants. However, the specific role of management accounting has led to the codification of the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Management Accountants by professional organizations. The aim of the paper was to investigate the role and place of management accountants, their challenges and public perceptions, as well as the certification and ethical standards for management accountants in countries with advanced accounting and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results showed that the situation in countries with advanced accounting and in Bosnia and Herzegovina is significantly different, and Bosnia and Herzegovina must improve the guidelines it relies on, take on the practices of others who have made significant progress in this area, and to set goals to pursue.

«Women's Practices» in Non-Canonical Pilgrimage in Islam

Analysis of some «women's practices» in non-canonical pilgrimage in Islam revealed that the specification of these pilgrimage practices follows from such factors as the status and role position of a woman in society, her main functions in the family and community, as well as her psychoemo-tional nature. There is a tendency on the part of women to assign to sacred natural objects a super-natural character and to endow them with magical power. This can be clearly seen both at the level of systematization and theoretical analysis of similar studies, and after considering the results of the author’s small electronic sociological survey. 54,5 % of respondents believe to some extent that sa-cred objects indicated in the survey possess supernatural powers. The same surveys revealed syncre-tism between pagan objects of religious worship and Islamic attributes of the religious life of Dage-stanis. At the same time, the perception of some natural objects as sacred ones differs in the regions of the republic.

Roles and their three facets: A foundational perspective

Roles remain nebulous entities, notwithstanding their extensive interdisciplinary research. This paper argues through a meta-ontological conceptual tool of grounding that there are three key facets of roles: a role position, a role specification, and a role potential. A foundational perspective on roles can be specified by “role choices” as to which facet of roles is primary. Role choices are illustrated with theories of roles that are built in compliance with four well-known upper ontologies: GFO, DOLCE, BFO, and UFO. The relationship between such three facets of roles and the GFO-based three kinds of roles (relational, processual, and social) is closely examined. These three facets are also comparatively studied from linguistic (e.g. ‘have a role’ versus ‘play a role’) and methodological (realism versus conceptualism regarding ontology design) perspectives. Furthermore, the family resemblance view of roles as “epistemic trackers” is proposed: the general notion of role is merely (partially) unified by its three facets and helps to keep track of some entity with respect to its role-related aspects. Finally, defining characteristics of roles in conceptual modeling are considered in terms of the three-facet theory. This work provides the grist for future practical development of an ontological module for generic role representation.

Theoretical approaches to understanding consumer phenomenology and its significance for the development of the territorial community

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical approaches to understanding the phenomenology of the consumer and its signifi -cance for the development of the territorial community.It is proved that consumer phenomenology has close links with organic phenomenology of local self-government, because it ari -ses and is formed within the territorial community – territorial community, which is formed at the local level of society in local governmentin everyday life.It is argued that within the territorial community the consumer performs one of the characteristic and ordinary role positions ofthe resident member of such a community, because it itself is created in the teleological sense for individual, group and collective consumptionof material and intangible goods.Emphasis is placed on the fact that although the definitive definition of “consumer” at both the doctrinal and regulatory levelsdoes not contain clear and unambiguous signs of the connection of its existence and functioning with local government, such links exist,they can be identified, updated, to contextualize, focusing on their local nature of implementation, consumer affiliation to the territorialcommunity operating in local government in everyday life, as well as the coincidence (imposition) of role positions of the residentmember of the TG with the role position of the consumer.
