The end of the second millennium and the beginning of the third one in the territory of the Republic of Macedonia changes have intensively marked both the social and economic demographic of its population. Within this demographic, special emphasis should be placed on the natural movement of the Macedonian population. In this paper, the following will be about the natural increase of the overall population of Macedonia and the natural increase by ethnicity. Of particular importance in this paper are the spatial and national differences of natural population movement in Macedonia, and mainly to present more clearly these differences, we analyzed the most recent data of 2017 by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Macedonia for the natural increase of the population of the municipalities, which we presented in tabular, graphical and cartographic form. Indices of births in general, births by maternal age, maternal, maternal, mortality, cause of death, etc. are very important not only for the development of the demographic process but also for the development of the country in general. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the aging population phenomenon at national and national level. This paper attaches particular importance to the aforementioned demographic features during the period 1994 to 2017 at the state level.

The aim of this study is to analyse the demographic components, with focus on the changes that occur in the number of the population, the density by which is the country populated, the natural flow (movement) of the population, emphasis on the natural growth of the population. As elsewhere in the world, the population in the Republicof North Macedonia as well plays a main role and it is the main factor for the growth and development of the country. However, the population is subject to change and growth depending on various factors such as natural, economical and social factor. The demographic development is expressed through the indicators of the components of the natural movement: natality, fertility, mortality, etc. The number of the population is one of the key factors that is influencing the socio-economic development. As the population is both productive on one side and consumer of material goods on the other, production and consumption depends on the number of the population. Compared to the historical development of human society, in the Republic of North Macedonia, the role of the population in the production process has changed. These changes are most noticeable in the last decades, when the technical-scientific progress has taken a big step, thus significantly affecting the population-production ratios. At the end of the second millennium and the beggining of the third one in North Macedonia's geographic area, significant changes have taken place in the socio-economic plan and especially in the demographic one of its population. Special emphasis is given to the natural movement of the population, which affects the movement of the total population in the Republic of North Macedonia. In this paper we will treat the natural increase of the population in the Republic of North Macedonia for the period from 1994 to the present day, namely its ratio by nationality. Of particular importance in this paper are the spatial and national differences of the natural population movement in the Republic of North Macedonia, and mainly to present more clearly these differences, we have analyzed the latest 2018 data by the Statistical Office of the Republic of North Macedonia for the natural increase of the population of the municipalities, which we have presented in tabular, graphic and cartographic form. Given the differences in natural increase within the country, the expected results are foreseen in the discovery of relevant information about their changes, their trends, and the interaction between the basic indicators obtained by applying relevant statistical parameters and those that portray the development of Republic of North Macedonia over a given period of time. This paper attaches particular importance to the aforementioned demographic features during the period 2003 to 2018 at the state level.

Gender-based violence is a form of discrimination that prevents women from enjoying the rights and liberties on an equal level with men. Inevitably, domestic violence shows the same trend of victimizing women to such a degree that the term “domestic violence” is increasingly becoming synonymous with “violence against women”. The Istanbul Convention defines domestic violence as "gender-based violence against women", or in other words "violence that is directed against a woman because she is a woman or that affects women disproportionately." The situation is similar in the Republic of Macedonia, where women are predominantly victims of domestic violence. However, the Macedonian legal framework does not define domestic violence as gender-based violence, and thus it does not define it as a specific form of discrimination against women. The national legislation stipulates that victims are to be protected in both a criminal and a civil procedure, and the Law on Prevention and Protection from Domestic Violence determines the actions of the institutions and civil organizations in the prevention of domestic violence and the protection of victims. The system for protection of victims of domestic violence closely supports the Law on Social Protection and the Law on Free Legal Aid, both of which include provisions on additional assistance for women victims of domestic violence. However, the existing legislation has multiple deficiencies and does not allow for a greater efficacy in implementing the prescribed measures for the protection of victims of domestic violence. For this reason, as well as due to the inconsistent implementation of legal solutions of this particular issue, the civil sector is constantly expressing their concern about the increasingly wider spread of domestic violence against women and about the protection capabilities at their disposal. The lack of recognition of all forms of gender-based violence, the trivial number of criminal sentences against persons who perform acts of domestic violence, the insufficient support offered to victims – including victim shelters, legal assistance, and counseling, and the lack of systematic databases on domestic violence cases on a national level, are a mere few of the many issues clearly pointing to the inevitable conclusion that the protection of women-victims of domestic violence is inadequate. Hence, the functionality and efficiency of both the existing legislation and the institutions in charge of protection and support of women – victims of domestic violence is being questioned, which is also the subject for analysis in this paper.

Social dialogue is one of the forms of participation of employees in matters referring to the field of labor or on matters of mutual interest for economic and social policy. Employees in the process of the social dialogue are represented through their union. Social dialogue is a form of communication involving social partners (unions and employers/ employer bodies) intended to affect the contracts and the development of labor issues. This context includes issues relating to participation in various types of negotiations, consultations, exchange of information between representatives of governments, employers and employees on issues of common interest and related to the economic and social policy. Social dialogue is also one of the forms through which employees can participate in decision-making, information and operations of the companies. The main aim of this paper is to clarify the social dialogue as one of the forms of participation of employees in decision making and managing with the companies, and to provide the legal basis for the practical realization.

As of 18 October 2020, over 39.5 million cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and 1.1 million associated deaths have been reported worldwide. It is crucial to understand the effect of social determination of health on novel COVID-19 outcomes in order to establish health justice. There is an imperative need, for policy makers at all levels, to consider socioeconomic and racial and ethnic disparities in pandemic planning. Cross-sectional analysis from COVID Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research COVID Racial Data Tracker was performed to evaluate the racial and ethnic distribution of COVID-19 outcomes relative to representation in the United States. Representation quotients (RQs) were calculated to assess for disparity using state-level data from the American Community Survey (ACS). We found that on a national level, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, and Black people had RQs > 1, indicating that these groups are over-represented in COVID-19 incidence. Dramatic racial and ethnic variances in state-level incidence and mortality RQs were also observed. This study investigates pandemic disparities and examines some factors which inform the social determination of health. These findings are key for developing effective public policy and allocating resources to effectively decrease health disparities. Protective standards, stay-at-home orders, and essential worker guidelines must be tailored to address the social determination of health in order to mitigate health injustices, as identified by COVID-19 incidence and mortality RQs.

It is frequently asserted by students of the history of the Third French Republic that the years before 1914, and especially from 1911 to 1914, were a period of nationalist revival, a somewhat exceptional period when politics were dominated by a novel concern for national unity, prestige, and power; by calls for order, tradition, and discipline; and by catchwords connected with all these things. I propose to inquire first into the social aspect of this apparent change in the ruling ideology of the Republic, and then into the background and nature of the Nationalist movement.

Interesting is the participation of education in the Social and Solidarity Economy (ESyS), fundamentally of the higher level, as a key piece of action with society. Mexico has a little more than 5,334 university schools, 6 states concentrate 42.8% of HEIs, Puebla is located as the third entity with the largest number of universities with just over 480 university campuses, after Mexico City and the Mexico state. The objective of this research work is to analyze that Higher Education Institutions (IES) of the public or private sphere, in Mexico, contemplate in their academic offer Study Programs (PE) to the ESyS, which emerges at local, regional, national level and global as the Third Sector, considering the cooperatives, whose presence in Mexico was in the year of 1873, when the first production cooperative emerged. The research is documentary theorist. Results: in Mexico, .14% of studies in ESyS or some variant are offered: four undergraduate degrees, one in open and distance mode; in postgraduates: three Masters and an Inter-institutional Doctorate (in which two HEIs participate). Therefore, the academic offer in Mexican territory in ESyS does not get 1%, insufficient to support cooperatives, some with state and national recognition. The proposal is that this type of educational offer be carried out in each federal entity of Mexico, to reinforce cooperatives, organizations with contributions in the economy of this country from the educational field.

<strong>Abstrak:</strong> Studi ini bertujuan untuk menelaah gerakan religius dan politik Abdurrahman Sjihab. Sebagai studi biografis, studi ini memanfaatkan sumber-sumber tertulis yang dianalisis dengan metode analisis isi. Studi ini penting dilakukan mengingat tidak ada kajian akademik tentang Abdurrahman Sjihab padahal ia merupakan salah satu pemuka agama Islam yang berjuang di level lokal dan nasional, dan yang terpenting adalah bahwa ia merupakan pejuang kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia. Studi ini mengajukan temuan bahwa Abdurrahman Sjihab berkontribusi terhadap usaha merebut, mempertahankan dan mengisi kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia. Dalam lapangan sosial keagamaan, ia bersama rekan-rekannya mendirikan Al Jam’iyatul Washliyah yang bergerak dalam bidang pendidikan, dakwah dan sosial, dan usaha ini relatif sukses menyiapkan sumber daya Muslim yang militan. Dalam lapangan sosial politik, ia atas nama Al Washliyah membina relasi dan membangun koordinasi dengan pemuka-pemuka Islam di level lokal dan nasional dalam rangka memperjuangkan dan mengisi kemerdekaan Indonesia, dan untuk itulah ia menjadi politisi Masjumi, anggota Komite Nasional Indonesia Pusat (KNIP) dan anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Sementara (DPRS). Studi ini diharapkan dapat menambah khazanah biografis tokoh-tokoh Muslim di awal-awal kemerdekaan Indonesia.<br /> <br /><strong>Kata Kunci</strong>: Abdurrahman Sjihab, Al Washliyah, Masjumi, Sumatera Timur<br /> <br /><strong>Abstract</strong>: <strong>Mandailing Ulama at the Beginning of the 20th Century: Abdurrahman Sjihab's Religious and Political Movement (1910-1955). </strong>This study aims to examine the religious and political movements of Abdurrahman Sjihab. This study utilizes written sources that are then analyzed by content analysis methods. Despite the important role played by Abdurrahman Sjihab as one of the leaders of the Islamic religion who fought at the local and national level as a freedom fighter for the Republic of Indonesia, there has not been a study that covers his biobiography. This study finds that Abdurrahman Sjihab contributed to the efforts to fight, defend and contribute to the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. In the socio-religious field, he and his colleagues founded Al Jam'iyatul Washliyah, which is engaged in education, preaching and social affairs, and this effort was relatively successful in preparing militant Muslim resources. In the social political field, he on behalf of Al Washliyah fostered relations and established coordination with Islamic leaders at the local and national levels in the context of fighting for and filling Indonesian independence, and for this reason he became a Masjumi politician, a member of the Central Indonesian National Committee (KNIP) and member of the Provisional People's Representative Council (DPRS). This study is expected to nurture the biographical treasures of Muslim figures in the early days of Indonesian independence.<br /><strong> </strong><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: Abdurrahman Sjihab, Al Washliyah, Masjumi, East Sumatra

As interlocutors in national level discourse with the power to influence public opinion and inform policy, the news media are an important data source in understanding the constitutive roles played by culture and discourse in shaping health experiences and outcomes. This paper reports on a critical discourse analysis of news media coverage of HIV in the Republic of Ireland between 2006 and 2016. This period is significant because of the considerable increase in new HIV diagnoses that occurred in Ireland after the 2008 recession. Analysis of articles ( n = 103) demonstrated a pattern of dividing practices whereby people living with or affected by HIV were frequently positioned as somatically and morally deficient via discourses of risk and responsibility. Little focus was given over to examination of the structural drivers of HIV, occluding the social context of the epidemic. The findings suggest that media discourses on HIV have the potential to other people living with HIV and generate stigma by invoking a dynamic of blame and shame frequently implicated in the stigma process.

The Macedonian society in its transition is characterized by two important dimensions which depict all aspects of life. Firstly, the democratization of the social flows, and secondly, the market orientation of the economy and the public sector. While we could say there is not much to discuss about the business processes, apart from the dynamics and its more authentic accomplishment, the market orientation on the other hand is perceived as a possible concept for accomplishing a certain activity directly or indirectly, except for the for-profit organizations. Hence, this triggers the issue of the market character of the public institutions and the access to the jobs offered within these institutions. The analysis of the basic principles of economy which refer to the establishment of a greater level of economic freedom and equal requirements for obtaining a job position in the economic entities, the support of entrepreneurship, the advancement of the dynamic implementation of the economic reforms for improving the business climate and enhancement of the Macedonian economy’s competitiveness, predicts the continuity of the already established economic reforms. The implementation of the aforementioned projects enables the direct contribution to the increase of the economic growth as well as the reduction in the unemployment rate which is a structural problem of the Macedonian economy. The issue of structural unemployment in the Republic of Macedonia is a top strategic priority in the analysis of this paper.
