In this article, we touch on the preambles of constitutions, their importance, and manner of interpretation with a purposeful analysis of these issues as the main objective of this paper. We look at constitutional law in its entirety, as well as preambular issues, to evaluate the segments of the legal act that represent its non-normative part. To significantly contribute to the understanding of the very goal of the constitution and similar acts is the most important issue of this topic. By analysing different methods of interpreting the constitution and its preamble, we provide a comprehensive account of errors in interpreting the constitution that penetrate every segment of our lives.

This study builds on a long-standing interest in (social) psychological outcomes of adolescent attachment styles and attachment patterns with parents. One of the outcomes I explored is in-group identification and in-group attachment, which are especially salient in the divided society of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The present cross-sectional study involved a stratified convenience sample of 735 participants (51.7 % female), aged 16 to 21 years (M= 18.72, SD=1.54). A significant positive correlation was found between current attachment style and in-group identification (r=.17, p<.01 for ethnic, and r=.13, p<.05 for religious). The present study points to further investigations and subsequent cross-field theoretical advancements regarding the possible effects of attachment on group identification and group attachment.

The conflict between science and spirituality is an established fact, even though some scholars dispute this reality arguing that it is rath er unfashionable for contemporary academic inquiry. The present study interrogates the foregoing position, submitting that the conflict between the two fields of knowledge still subsists. It advocates the recognition of spirituality as an alternative knowledge field, despite its lack of deductive, empirical procedures. The proposition builds on the reality of existential risks threatening humanity which can be ade quately tackled if the two domains collaborate to develop mechanisms for ending human misery. Using syncretism/hybridity as a conceptual touchstone, the article attempts a postcolonial reading of Irete Lazo’s The Accidental Santera (2008) to pontificate about the imperativeness of mutuality between science and spirituality, and the danger inherent in a branch of knowledge displaying hubristic, overweening attitude towards another knowledge field. The study further suggests a new order to reposition the knowledge fields.

Twenty-seven years after the end of the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is still considered a post-conflict state dealing with war memories, geno -cide, socio-political divisions, and political and socio-economic challenges like ethno-nationalism, unemployment, social inequalities, a complex edu cation system, high levels of corruption, migration, and depopulation. The article aims to investigate the role of female academics in peace-building, state-building and gender equality in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For this pur -pose, a survey questionnaire was distributed to female academics aiming to obtain data regarding female academic’s role in the post-conflict society, how they have contributed to peace-building processes and the future of the country, the main issues and challenges they face as women in academia, their engagement in gender equality and women empowerment activities, the ways they cope with the COVID-19 pandemic in their professional and private life, and their work-life balance. Descriptive statistics and a the matic analysis of the participants’ responses to open-ended questions were conducted. Female academics in Bosnia and Herzegovina hold that women play a pivotal role in post-conflict societies and that they should be actively engaged in peace-building and state-building processes. Women themselves should be the leaders of positive changes and female empowerment through education and by providing support to other women.

Cuba has been a significant player in international and regional politics for a long while, particularly compared to its size. However, reliable data on the standard of living of its society is scarce. The literature review reflects how the Cuban state manipulated certain data forwarded to international organisations. Our objective was to implement field research and gain pri mary data on Cubans’ quality of life and income structure that could help to identify the extent of income inequality among the different demographic clusters in the country. We used individual questionnaires, as well as de -scriptive, frequency and inferential statistics. The results show varying in come inequalities among the different demographic clusters and a “perverse effect” in income distribution, leading to the formation of a “parasite” stra tum in Cuban society.

This article covers the use of the internationalization of higher education as a soft power tool by revisionist countries in international relations. Whereas the common view of scholars is that revisionist forces tend to activate their hard power means as in the case of India about her dispute with Pakistan and Russia against Ukraine, their soft power engagement is tremendously important. While internationalization in higher education was the monopoly of the hegemonic and colonial powers previously, in recent years the progress of revisionist forces in this regard has been noted. Since soft power engagement forms vary with the stunning transformations after the millennium, internationalization of higher education is the latest trend. When examining the published data on international student mobility, we have determined that revisionist powers China, Türkiye, and Russia are among the top ten countries hosting the most international students.

This article analyzes the poetry of Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovski (1893-1930), renowned as a main figure of the Russian Futurist movement. The study first introduces the futurist movement in literature that took place at the beginning of the twentieth century and locates it within formalist theory. Then, it dwells upon the characteristics of futurist poetry since this was the genre the futurists were mostly concerned with. The study moves towards its main objective by examining two characteristic poems, Morning (1912) and A Skyscraper Dissected (1929), bearing in mind the theme of urbanism which is common in the futurist literary movement. This analysis attempts to prove that Mayakovski used the theme of urbanism to criticize modern city life, unlike other futurists who used this theme to glorify it. The study will also look at an important aspect of Mayakovski’s poem About This in which he imagines life in the future. To carry out this thematic study, a critically analytical and descriptive method is used.

UBA domain functions in SIK2. The terrifying global increase in domestic violence (DV) was recorded during the COVID-19 virus pandemic worldwide, in Bosnia and Herzegovina too. Female victims of DV gen erally live in isolation, are controlled by violent partners, are economically dependent, and have weakened social support. This intensified even more during the pandemic due to rec ommended safety measures of the Local Crisis Center to stay home, maintain physical distance, and isolation measures, trapping victims of DV with abusers. COVID-19 prescribed measures contributed to and increased the risk of all forms of violence, including online and cyber abuse. On top of this all, already crowded local women shelters had to suspend the accommodation of new beneficiaries due to COVID-19 measures. Besides, disrupted social and justice services and an overloaded healthcare system struggling to respond to the health crises left victims and those at risk of DV neglected and forced them to remain with their abusers. The study aims to explore the link between COVID-19 measures and DV by analyzing who, how, and why failed and neglected victims or those at risk during COVID-19 virus outbreak. I use pub-lications by the local health entities (e.g., Federal Ministry of Health, Health Crises Center), orders and press releases, and official data on the number of DV cases reported during COVID-19 to analyze the association between the two. Generally, almost one in every two women in B&H experi-ences violence and only under 5% of them report it. Compared to March, in April 2020, during the total lockdown in B&H, the calls to the local SOS hotlines tripled, indicating the increase of DV during the COVID-19 outbreak. With no social support and limited contact women and children at risk of domestic violence have a hard time being locked in a place that is supposed to be safe but not so for victims of DV during COVID-19 restrictive measures. Local authorities in charge of COVID-19 measures should consider and offer adequate solutions to victims and those at risk of DV in a form of in-stitutional and other forms of support, ensure victims are able and encouraged to seek protection even during curfews. The coronavirus health emergency is no excuse for not acting and helping women and children. It is extremely important to pro-vide information relevant to preventing and tackling the violence against women and children, such as online and in-per-son services, and providing alternative and additional shelters for the victims during COVID-19 measures. The goal of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale–Adolescent Form (ISMI-AF). A total of 145 adolescents (12–18 years of age) who were diagnosed with at least 1 mental disorder according to DSM-5-TR participated in the study.
