The research study was conducted in two stages, in 2015 and 2016 from March 15 to April 15 utilizing the method of formalized interview.  Each phase of the survey involved 560 Yerevan residents. As the results of the research come to prove, the mosaic of the public perception and the psychological reflection of the phenomenon of the Armenian Genocide is very sophisticated. The moods of regret, pain, depression, declining moods, complaint, wrath, revenge, hope and optimistic views for future are intertwined and bound together. These moods and feelings appear next to each other and quickly alternating.According to the results of both 2015 and 2016 surveys the moods of overcoming pain, faith and hope, optimistic attitude towards the future (91.4%) are dominant over complaint, anger, revenge, struggle for compensation (85.5%) and regret, pain, depression, declining moods (69.6 %).The indicators of the moods and feelings of the first and second groups are generally stable. In this connection both studies in 2015 and 2016 recorded similar results. However, the indicators of the following moods decreased from 76.2% to 69.6%: regret, pain, depression, declining moods, the manifestations of the complex of a victim. The indicator of more intense expression of such moods dropped from 47.2% to 35.6%.The authors explain such change by the influence of three internal and external political factor groups.

Abstract This article reports on findings of a government-funded research project which set out to understand what the public think about social services in Scotland. The authors were particularly keen to examine issues of legitimacy, trust and licence to operate for social services as they are framed in public perceptions. Drawing on a national online survey of 2,505 nationally representative adults, the findings provide the first and largest empirical data set on public perceptions of social services in Scotland. Data analysis occurred in two stages and employed descriptive statistical measurement and cross-tabulation analysis. The findings indicate that, overall, people in Scotland are positive about social services and the value of their impact on society. Furthermore, they believe that social services perform a valuable public role. These findings are significant for debates surrounding social services and suggest that the Scottish public has a more positive view of social services than social service workers and welfare institutions typically perceive. The findings demonstrate the need to develop a more theoretically rich understanding of the relationships between public perception, legitimacy and social licence in social services, including attention to co-productive models of engagement.

The widespread access to the Internet has undoubtedly changed the way businesses handle their processes and interact with their customers. With the surge of new devices, business models, technologies, and platforms, alongside social media growth and innovative advertising, it became easier to transition from employment to entrepreneurship. The paper aims to assess the public perception of digital entrepreneurship, with a focus on its barriers, drivers, and expectations for the future. The results show that there is a slight agreement with a digital business being easier to establish compared with a traditional one. The driving forces behind starting a digital business are recognized, and the digital environment is considered essential for business growth in the following years. With some exceptions, there are no significant differences between age groups, genders, relationship statuses, levels of education, and/or occupations when rating the barriers, drivers, and expectations for the future of digital entrepreneurship.

Cultural heritage professionals are becoming increasingly concerned about the lack of care being taken by municipalities for their cultural heritage objects which include works of art in public places. They have therefore begun to ask the public to help take care of “their” cultural heritage through so-called public participation projects. Cultural heritage professionals tacitly assume that if they “teach” the public to treasure such objects of “their” heritage, the public will become more proactive in helping to conserve them. However, research being conducted by the authors is showing that a majority of the general public often has a completely different awareness and/or feeling about cultural heritage objects in their neighborhoods than the cultural heritage professionals think they have, or think they should have. Three recent case studies carried out by the authors show that these differences are most noticeable during so-called “value moments” at the beginning and at the perceived end of an object’s life. These are the two moments when decisions are made, usually by cultural heritage professionals, to place an object in a neighborhood or have it significantly changed or removed, often to the surprise and disagreement of the residents. Between these two moments lay many moments when an object is taken for granted, grudgingly accepted, or not even noticed. Given the fact that cultural heritage professionals often make the ultimate decisions and do not always consider or outright ignore public opinion, it should not be surprising that there is an increasingly negative public perception of what they do. The results of the case studies illustrate the need for professionals to consider and accept as valid, public feelings about cultural heritage objects in their neighborhoods.

This article is devoted to the featuring the anniversary of the 1991 Soviet coup d’état attempt on the pages of newspapers in 1993. The events of August 1991 did not disappear from the current field and were used both for the propaganda and for comprehending the past and forecasts for the future. The fact that a few months before the memorable date the trial of those arrested in the SCSE case began served to refresh the events in the public perception, and just a couple of weeks before that, an abridged version of the indictment was published in public sources.

The technical changes in the local-elections law that were recently implemented have only had a negligible effect on the electoral results.  As a matter of fact they did not bring about any change in the two major evils that beset local elections in Belgium. These are indeed dominated by a particular system (Imperiali) of allocation of seats that systematically deviates from proportional representation and is heavily resented as such by a considerable part of the public opinion. The recent modifications allow a voting method (the multiple vote) that wilt - from now on and increasingly so in the future - give a possibility to particular factions that are slightly stronger within a certain party to conquer a far more than proportional share of the party seats andmight well come close to the total number of seats allocated to a certain party. It is indeed the democratic nature of the electoral system in Belgium that is at stake here.

The Yeghern – Genocide of Armenians in their homeland – has relatively recently become an object of political debate after decades-long silence. The already revealed facts of the universal evil, concepts and definitions shaping the public perception, among them the widely held and publicized formula of “The Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1923” which does not correspond to the factual and political content of this crime against humanity, await new interpretation. To this day the Genocide of the Armenians of Eastern Transcaucasia remains outside the Turkish crime. Consequences of the international political implications of Yeghern, as well as the irresponsibility of world powers as the main guarantors of international security, have not been adequately evaluated, and this is sure to lead to the establishment of new genocidogenic states and the legalization of criminal behaviour.

During the last years, Spain pased thrugh a gradual and persistent deterioration of TV´s contents. The public TV (RTVE) reform, the creation of an Autroregulation Commission in November 2004 and the growth of the discontent shown by certain sectors of the public opinion, conform a new panorama and are an excellent opportunity for the future of our television, our society, our education and our culture. Those who have struggled many years for a television serving people´s education, have now not only the opportunity to claim an educational TV in a general sense, but an educational TV in a strict sense. En los últimos años se ha vivido en España un proceso gradual, constante y persistente de deterioro de los contenidos televisivos. La oferta programática se ha transformado en una suerte de espejo maléfico en el que las cadenas se han observado entre sí para copiarse. El resultado ha sido el esperable: en cualquiera de ellas puede verse más de lo mismo, aunque con leves variaciones respecto de los modelos originariamente calcados. Los espectadores han respondido de forma diversa a este estado de cosas: a veces con complacencia y a veces alimentando en secreto el anhelo de que esa televisión autorreferencial y enamorada de sí misma, acabe estrellándose –como Narciso– contra su propia imagen. La Ley de Reforma de la Televisión Pública Estatal (RTVE), la creación de una Comisión Mixta de Autorregulación de Contenidos Televisivos e Infancia hacia finales de 2004 y el crecimiento del malestar manifestado por ciertos sectores de la opinión pública, contribuyen a dibujar un panorama que deja ver una oportunidad magnífica para el futuro de nuestra televisión, de nuestra sociedad, nuestra educación y nuestra cultura. Quienes desde hace años bregan por una televisión de calidad al servicio de la ciudadanía y de la educación no pueden silenciarse ahora. Es que si el estado paupérrimo de los contenidos, la procacidad y el griterío reinantes hacían reclamar una televisión con unos contenidos que sean pro-educativos, en términos generales, ahora parece que llega el momento propicio para dar un paso más y pensar en una televisión educativa en términos estrictos. Si bien es cierto que aun queda mucho por hacer y que los mercaderes no desean ceder ni un ápice en lo que ellos consideran que es la esencia de su negocio; si bien es cierto que para grandes sectores asociar lo televisivo con lo educativo parece un despropósito, es necesario empezar a hablar de una televisión educativa en términos específicos. En un contexto social en el que lo educativo parece estar afectado por el descrédito y el desprestigio, las televisiones privadas se aferran con uñas y dientes a su parcela de negocio. Sin embargo, conociendo las variables que están en juego, es imprescindible entender que este momento es histórico y de oportunidad. En este trabajo se pretende exponer algunas reflexiones que tienen la vocación de situar ejes que permitan pensar en una televisión que no se encastille en una defensa sistemática de la exclusión de lo educativo y que restituya, aunque sea en una medida modesta, la misión educativa de las industrias culturales y de la televisión en particular. Para ello será necesario transitar, también, por los nuevos derroteros de lo educativo en nuestras sociedades.

ABSTRACTFor decades, political and private polling operations have informed about the public’s perceptions regarding a range of topics. In particular, universities (e.g., Marist and Quinnipiac) provide noteworthy research to inform and predict the outcomes of US elections. Yet, what role do our classrooms play in advancing the public opinion polling skills of our students? This article uses experiential learning as a descriptive framework to illustrate how a yearlong, immersive, and student-led public opinion polling experience, the Big Sky Poll, advances students’ social-science and data-fluency skills. Our findings suggest important insights into the future of public opinion polling from the vantage point of a rural Western state, which can be replicated in other academic institutions.
