Introduction: Research Problem In the popular idealized depictions, “childhood” structure is ascribed the meanings of carelessness, innocence, naivety, and happiness. Nevertheless, look deeper under the surface of this idealized and simplified concept and one shall uncover meanings that do not always correspond with this idealized perception. The key discourse-making configurations - the family, the formal educational structures and the media - often produce a normative imprint of what the role of men and women should be in the social domain, what the female body should look like, what the "objective" criteria about the dichotomous gender differentiation are, how girls should behave, and what should be the boys’ behaviour, etc. In other words, they produce a normative gender discourse that is not always transparent or indisputable. Since 2012, as a result of the special attention dedicated to raising awareness about gender issues and gender equality in the audiovisual services, the Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services (AAAVMS) has initiated and published several studies and analyses which focused on gender and gender role representation in the audiovisual programmes, as well as on the presence of language and content that may lead to sex- and gender-based discrimination. The research study on Gender in the Media of 2019 is the latest in this series. The necessity for it, as is also the case of previous AAAVMS studies on the topic of gender, stems partly from the articles of the Law on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men1, according to which, the AAAVMS is obliged to conduct analyses in order to determine the fashion of portrayal of women and men in programme concepts and contents (Article 17, paragraph 3), and to establish the treatment of gender issues in the mass media (Article 17, paragraph 4). The issue of the gender role portrayal in the children's programmes offered by the national broadcasters has not been studied comprehensively so far in the Republic of North Macedonia. This study focuses on precisely this issue. Starting from the scope, genre and contents and by using mixed research methods (content analysis, discourse analysis and thematic analysis), it analyses the gender constructs in the programmes for children aired on the Public Service Broadcaster as well as on the private TV stations. The media – more specifically, children's programmes – play a key role in the production and dissemination of normative notions of gender. Two main paradigms in the literature on the media effects focusing on the issue of children's television programmes may be crystallised (Aubrey & Harrison, 20042): cultivation theory and social learning theory. The cultivation theory suggests the existence of a positive correlation between watching television and the worldview that children develop over time - especially with regard to the construction of gender stereotypes. The social learning theory claims that children tend to adopt gender-specific behaviour through observation and by imitating media content, and to transform information and structures extracted from such 1 A consolidated text of the Law on Equal Opportunities of Women and Men is available at: http://www.mtsp.gov.mk/content/pdf/zakoni/2017/precisten%20tekst%202015%20na%20ZEM_nov.pdf 2 Aubrey, J.

In 2008 the Air Force used a Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) to evaluate the Speech Intelligibility (SI) of a new voice communications system on the Global Hawk UAV. The raw data from these tests were analyzed for differences in SI between a full MRT of 50 words and subsets of progressively decreasing size, hereafter referred to as a reduced Modified Rhyme Test (rMRT), using five less words for each subset.

  • INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia – Municipal Elections, 24 March 2013
    INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia – Municipal Elections, 24 March 2013 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Skopje, 25 March 2013 – This Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions is the result of a common endeavour involving the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe (Congress). Ambassador Geert-Hinrich Ahrens is the Head of the OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission (EOM), deployed from 25 February 2013. Mr. Jüri Landberg leads the delegation of the Congress. The assessment was made to determine whether the elections complied with OSCE commitments and Council of Europe standards, as well as with domestic legislation. This statement of preliminary findings and conclusions is delivered prior to the completion of the electoral process. The final assessment of the elections will depend, in part, on the conduct of the remaining stages of the electoral process, in particular the tabulation of results and the handling of possible post-election day complaints and appeals. The OSCE/ODIHR will issue a comprehensive final report, including recommendations for potential improvements, some eight weeks after the completion of the electoral process. The Congress Report will be adopted at its Plenary Session in October 2013. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS The 24 March 2013 municipal elections were efficiently administered and highly competitive. Although the campaign was active, partisan media coverage and a blurring of state and party activities did not always provide a level playing field for candidates to contest the elections. Inter- ethnic tensions overshadowed the campaign.
