A qualitative analysis was conducted with actual emigrants to different countries. The findings were analyzed using a content analysis. A total of eight generalists medical-surgical and medical agreed to take part in this study. The participants were emigrants to the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Canada and the Middle East. Almost all participants agreed that the main drivers of emigration are: working conditions, personal motives and socio-economic factors for both the source and receiving country. Most participants perceive push factors as a source of fear and consider them as imprisonment that poses increased pressure, while pull factors are perceived as an alternative to emancipating from constraint in home country. The push and pull framework is significant in understanding different factors of emigration. Policy-makers need to make efforts to bridge the lacuna between donor and host countries and to reverse these losses into brain gain through in-depth reforms.","PeriodicalId":494521,"journal":{"name":"MAP social sciences","volume":" 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141829818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The widening policy before the invasion was rather inefficient because the member states governments assessed the importance of institutional binding of new members disparately, which affected the aspiring countries, as the EU appeared to be indecisive regarding the accession of new states. The perception of an increased security threat, because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is likely to lead to a shift in the European Union’s enlargement policy, including the demands for an institutional adjustment in the EU to increase its integration capacity and simplify the decision-making procedures. It is, however, questionable whether eventual institutional adjustments will produce desirable outcomes for the European Union because of the existence of different interests among the member states.","PeriodicalId":494521,"journal":{"name":"MAP social sciences","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141640937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EU Language Policy encourages multilingualism and promotes the learning of two additional languages, in addition to the official language of the country. Adoption and adequate implementation of this policy are important for both aspiring members and EU member states, as it aims at advancing the functionality and competitiveness of the EU. The paper examines relevant aspects of the EU’s history, the importance of the policy, and how adopting it would impact the education system in B&H if economic and social growth could be expected. The research part of the paper was conducted via a self-responded survey gauging the public opinions on certain aspects relevant to the topic. Overall, the research finds that adapting the EU Language Policy is a significant step towards integration of B&H into the EU; and that adapting it would be logistically challenging but a welcome and necessary step for immeasurable benefits that come with becoming a member state of the EU. The opinions of the participants were mostly unanimous regarding positive attitudes towards learning languages, retaining culture, positive long-term effects on the country, and dissatisfaction with B&H’s behavior in relation to their relationship with the EU.","PeriodicalId":494521,"journal":{"name":"MAP social sciences","volume":"6 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141653815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this paper is to study the consumer society, its characteristics and consequences on the community as a whole. The consumer today is no longer just a passive observer, but an active participant in the events - Such a role of the consumer in the modern market necessarily leads to a different marketing approach of companies. The conducted research aims to identify the green marketing concept and clarify the boundaries and elements associated with the new marketing concept. The research concluded that green marketing is the application of traditional marketing practices, putting environmental protection first as a priority when determining the elements of the marketing mix from product design, pricing, distribution and promotion. Also, it has been proven that green marketing is not limited to just one sector, but to world-leading experiences in almost all industrial branches.","PeriodicalId":494521,"journal":{"name":"MAP social sciences","volume":"123 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140679052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
