The name of our project is CITI.GEN Z+. The word citi.gen is a combination of citizen and generation, Z is the number of our generation and + refers to all the future ones. We chose this name because it fully expresses our cause, which is to help the members of the new generations become the global citizens of tomorrow. An overview of global challenges of our world, leads to a basic question ‘How citizens are we?’ and more specific ‘How citizens are the next generation’. In those terms, we design a research to measure the impact in attitudes of global problems to our school community. The methodology based on qualitative and quantitative analysis. As expected, results of this project are the change of the youth’s mentality on matters that affect everyone’s future. We have decided to put together a team of professionals that will help adolescents get through issues they might be faced with and in general aid them in improving their lifestyle. With the passage of time, this “club” will expand and hopefully support all the kids in need. This way, we will create a society where citizens are informed and activated to ameliorate the future.

The Digital Pillory: The impact of the Internet on the development of scandals The Digital Pillory: The impact of the Internet on the development of scandals This article explores the consequences of the changing public arena for the way scandals develop. Scandals, defined as a process of public outrage over a (presumed) transgression of the dominant morality, used to be the domain of the professional mass media. The Internet seems to offer a more level playing field for actors who want to trigger a scandal by disclosing compromising information. But what exactly is the role of the Internet in the different stages of a scandal; which type of actors are dominant and how do media and these websites interact? A qualitative and quantitative analysis of four recent Dutch scandals shows that the Internet, more specifically semiprofessional weblogs can indeed play an important role in exposing, accusing and denouncing the culprit. But the professional media are still very important; when they refuse to adopt a disclosure by bloggers the scandal fails. The role of the Internet users is mainly reactive, but the scale of outrage on the Internet fuels the scandal process.

This paper uses the matched-guise technique to analyse the impact of accent perception in the context of suspect interrogation. Three native speakers of British English and one of Norwegian recorded a suspect’s statement in a version as close as possible to standard English as well as in their strongest accented pronunciation of English. These recordings were rated by native speakers of English (NSs) and German learners of English (non-native speakers, NNSs) regarding competence, social attractiveness, credibility/guilt and standardness. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of these ratings shows evidence for accented speakers being rated less competent, but more socially attractive and more likely to be guilty than their standard counterparts. Moreover, NNSs’ ratings were significantly higher for competence and guilt in the standard guises, as well as social attractiveness and guilt in the accent guises, while NSs twice as often reported pronunciation/accent having influenced their ratings. This study also found that specific regional stereotypes were less important compared to the perceived degree of standardness.

The purpose of this article is to differentiate servicemen according to the character accentuation and to study the impact of war on their mental features. The objectives stemming from the purpose of the article is to study the age groups of the servicemen who took part in the hostilities, to identify the risk groups, to analyze the psychological tendencies of the «murderer» and the serviceman. The investigation uses a number of research methods: observation, qualitative and quantitative analysis of data and presentation, Rorschach test. In the course of the research, the following conclusions were made: war participants do not always pursue the same goal, war can be a means to satisfy their killing instinct or it can bring out a previous trauma and cause a killing pleasure. It is not necessary for the servicemen to have obvious mental problems to be considered murderers and not take part in hostilities. During the hostilities, people with different personality types are involved, which can leadto different traumas that can arise in different military situations.

У роботі наведено результати якісного й кількіс-ного аналізу забруднюючих речовин ґрунту територіїпромислового підприємства, що зупинило свою діяль-ність, а саме Сакського державного хімічного заво-ду. Встановлено, що в пробах ґрунту знаходитьсящонайменше 26 забрудників, п’ять з яких відносятьсядо речовин першого класу небезпеки. Дослідженоконцентрації забрудників та виявлено, що в окремихпробах вони перевищують граничнодопустимі у 2–295разів. Висвітлено фактори екологічної небезпекиокремих забрудників, зокрема впливу на організм лю-дини. This paper presents the results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of soil pollutants of the industrial enterprises stopped their activities, such as Saki State Chemical Plant. It was found that in samples of soil there are at least 26 pollutants, 5 of which belong to the first class of substances hazard. Concentration of pollutants were investigated and found that in some samples they exceed the maximum permissible concentration in 2-295 times. Article deals with environmental hazard factors of specific pollutants, in particular the impact on the human organism.

The aim of this paper is to make a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results of the project, which was carried out in the framework of research work at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Niš, in order to monitor the work of students and evaluate the effects of courses in philosophy on the formation and change of student attitudes. Our basic question is whether the newly acquired knowledge of methodology and philosophy of science affect students’ beliefs. If this effect is visible, in what direction and in what intensity does it go? We used the survey as a research method and a comparative and statistical method for data processing. The results we obtained confirmed the assumption, which we wanted to examine, of the significant influence of philosophy courses on the formation of student attitudes. Acquired knowledge of methodology and philosophy of science work to strengthen critical awareness and nondogmatic approach when considering specific problems. The results are in accordance with the theoretical orientation of the whole study of philosophy as well as the specific aims of the courses (presented in syllabuses).

The aim of the present study was to explore the perspective for entrepreneurship among PhD students coming from variety of disciplines. More precisely, to identify the most important entrepreneurial competences for succeeding in the entrepreneurial venture, to explore whether these competences are being developed during the 3rd cycle studies, and to explore the entrepreneurial intentions of the future doctors. In order to choose the most important entrepreneurial competences, individual semi-structured interviews with ten entrepreneurs from different fields were conducted. In addition, the importance of each competence was evaluated in form of the questionnaire, by seventeen entrepreneurs. After the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the interviews and the questionnaire, 20 competences were selected as the most important entrepreneurial competences. These 20 competences were then evaluated by 50 PhD students from different fields of study. They evaluated the importance of each entrepreneurial competence, the level of its development during their PhD studies, and indicated their entrepreneurial intentions after finishing the PhD. The most important and the most developed competences are presented in the results. In addition, the results showed relatively high entrepreneurial intentions in case of not finding a job after the PhD and in general. These results imply the need for incorporating some sort of entrepreneurial training and the development of entrepreneurial competences adapted to each subject area during the PhD studies.
