The paper represents a theoretical-practical study that highlights the role and necessity of museum education in the initial training of architecture and design students from the perspective of promoting national architectural heritage. The article presents basic concepts, as well as some researchers' views on architectural heritage and museum education for architecture and design students in formal and non-formal contexts, which can be integrated in various educational levels, relating to the five general contents of education. Likewise, concrete educational actions involving students in researching, restoring, valorizing, and promoting national architectural heritage are described through the example reflected in the Restoration Concept Project of Balioz Manor. This project implies an in-depth investigation of the issue and includes a set of scientific research methods (documentation, analysis of scientific sources, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT analysis) of urban areas, SWOT analysis of architectural ensembles, photography, surveys, case studies, comparison, and interpretation of results) that led to the achievement of pre-established objectives. In conclusion, focusing on students in the context of the initial training of architecture and design students by involving them in projects for revitalization, renovation, conservation, etc., of architectural heritage contributes to enhancing the performance of future specialists in their professional activities.

Driving under the influence of alcohol is a unique and significant public health issue. Wisconsin is of particular concern due to the high levels of binge drinking and incidences of drinking and driving. Legal sanctions for reducing drinking and driving have been influenced by the tenets of deterrence theory, yet the effectiveness of these approaches remains inconsistent. The current study contributed to criminological theory and practice by testing a specific deterrence model on a sample of individuals who were incarcerated in a local correctional facility to determine the influence of both deterrent and individual factors on the likelihood of drunk driving recidivism. Results of the study, as well as policy implications and future research are discussed throughout the paper.

Svaka žena ima pravo na slobodnu odluku o rađanju ili nerađanju. U radu je dat uporedni pregled stanja u zakonodavstvu pojedinih država po pitanju prava na život u svetlu pravne i etičke problematike abortusa. Pravni aspekt abortusa analiziran je kroz predstavke o odnosu prava na život i prava na abortus u dosadašnjoj praksi Evropskog suda za ljudska prava (slučajevi u Poljskoj i Irskoj). Takođe, ukazano je na osnovne postavke pristalica pro life i pro choice koncepta. Poljska je imala restriktivan zakon o abortusu. Od 1993. godine zakon je dopuštao prekide trudnoće samo u slučaju silovanja ili incesta, teških anomalija fetusa ili ugrožavanja života žene. Ustavni sud Poljske je 22. oktobra 2020. presudio da je abortus zbog oštećenja fetusa neustavan. Rad se bavi ograničavanjem prava na abortus u Poljskoj koristeći komparativnu analizu donetih pravnih akata sa postojećim međunarodnim pravnim aktima o ograničavanju slobodne volje žene da samostalno donese odluku o rađanju ili nerađanju, odnosno ograničenja prava na abortus.

Archaeology offers a 3.5 million-year-long scientific record of human and earlier hominine problem-solving and thus has the potential to research very deep into the past human solutions to pandemics and epidemics. Heritage on the other hand acts as a positive enabler for the complex, multi-vector challenges of today’s world, such as cultural and environmental sustainability, economic inequalities, conflict resolution, social cohesion and the future of cities among others. In this way, the remote past has the capacity to educate the present world on how to cope with pandemic diseases and similar challenges in the contemporary era. Therefore, this essay seeks to open a discourse on the ways in which archaeology and heritage can contribute to the prevention and control of the present COVID-19 pandemic and similar others in the present and future. Therefore, the government and other agencies funding research pertaining to the discovery of the ways through which pandemics can be treated, controlled and prevented, need also to explore the option of archaeology and heritage studies, so as to trace the root causes of pandemic diseases. This will lead to the discovery of traditional means of treating, controlling and preventing pandemic outbreaks. This underscores the argument that almost everything that exists in the present day has some historical antecedence.

This article examines the evolution of Namibia’s financial system post-independence in 1990. The structure and composition of the financial system is discussed along its contributions to employment creation and economic growth. The ownership structure of the banking sector and its overall performance is also outlined. The finding reveals that there has been a significant increase in the influence of non-bank financial intermediaries, meanwhile the dominance of the financial sector continues to shrink with mounting credit risk pressures. The financial sector’s contribution to employment creation has been quite minimum and is likely to continue in the foreseeable future as developments in the artificial intelligence world accelerate. The practical policy interventions emanating from this assessment necessitate a serious consideration.

Over time, it has been proven that the most effective way to train specialists, especially for the 3-5 qualification level, is by involving the trainees in practical activities carried out within economic entities, giving them the opportunity to learn in real working conditions . In this article, we aim to address the apprenticeship and their impact on the students graduating from vocational technical education from the perspective of their employment after graduation. The research methods used were quantitative (1286 respondents) involving final year students from 13 educational institutions (5 - centers of excellence, 1 - college, 7 - vocational schools). The questioning of the respondents focused on the students' appreciation of the quality and relevance of internships within the economic entities, as well as topics aimed at their opportunity to engage in the labor field. Given the subject under investigation, we believe that the results included in this article will be of great interest to representatives of educational institutions, economic entities, as well as researchers in the field.

The study specifies, analyzes, and validates the positive impact of activities conducted in museum spaces on the visual arts education of design students, focused on achieving these aspects in the context of university-museum collaboration. In conclusion, an approach to visual arts education of design students from the perspective of national and universal artistic heritage can ensure both the optimization of initial training for design students and lifelong education.

This article focuses on researching the methodological development of real estate assessment in the Republic of Moldova, addressing the significant financial losses incurred by local public administrations due to the absence of an updated, appropriate, and transparent assessment system for taxation purposes. The fundamental hypothesis posits that enhancing the methodological and institutional framework of mass appraisal will lead to a progressive evolution of the real estate market relations and the stable development of efficient and equitable tax systems in Moldova. The study aims to identify and propose solutions to current issues in the national mass appraisal system, primarily related to the unavailability of market data and the use of outdated methodologies. Employing scientific techniques such as analysis, deduction, induction, grouping, comparison, analogy, scientific abstraction, synthesis, and statistical methods, the author assess the effectiveness of proposed methodological developments by comparing quality indicators of old assessment models with those developed based on the proposed methodologies. The results obtained support the idea of creating, implementing, and sustaining a mass appraisal system as a foundational element for a fair real estate taxation system, fostering regional development, and supporting economic activities related to the real estate market in the Republic of Moldova.

There is no study which is based on lyrics of songs about a sextape. Hence, the purpose of the study was to understand the gendered perspectives of four Zimbabwe singers towards explicit recording as reflected in the lyrics of their songs. Africana Womanism was deployed as a theory on the relationship between black males and females. The methodology was Critical Discourse Analysis in which purposefully selected artistes’ music lyrics were analysed. D Flexx’s song, “Hombe Yalevels”, “Ane hombe dzinotapira” (Ndunge Yut), “Tsamba kuna Levels” (Lorna Real Love) and Libronie’s “Ane hombe” which were released after the sextape scandal were examined in this study. From the findings, we argue that singers of the four songs failed Shashl as a woman and fellow musician by focusing on DJ Level’s perceived sexual prowess. Public figures ought to consult advisers, managers and veterans in their fields and government departments should partner stakeholders like businesses, brand experts and counsellors to explain the need for maintaining integrity.
