The primary objective of this research paper is to explore the power and influence of melody on musical interpretation and its role in conveying musical ideas, particularly in educational and performative contexts. Understanding the fundamental nature of music and its communicative function is crucial for a thorough analysis of the musical style in which a work is created. Composers, performers, theorists from various schools and styles, as well as aestheticians and critics, converge on the idea that music possesses a specific meaning that significantly impacts both productive and reproductive activities within the realm of musical art. At the heart of this process lies a commitment to fostering positive outcomes in education and enhancing the listener's experience. This paper will focus on several key questions: What constitutes the meaning of music? What processes does it communicate? What triggers emotional responses or states of affect within music? Additionally, how does music evoke emotions while simultaneously moderating the pursuit of their realization? By addressing these questions, this research aims to provide deeper insights into the role of melody in musical experience and its educational significance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In today's globalized society, organizations are faced with a serious challenge of constant changes and adaptation to new conditions imposed by strong competition created under the influence of globalization and intensive technological development. Often, efforts to introduce change fail as a result of employee resistance to these changes and which, if not properly managed, can lead to encouraging their turnover intention. Hence, human resource management must work more intensively on modernizing the change management process. In that context, this paper analyzes the degree of application of the so-called predictive analytical techniques for human resources in the private sector in the Republic of North Macedonia, analyzing their experiences and attitudes regarding the effectiveness of using these techniques on improving planning processes, decision-making, and most importantly, creating talent retention strategies. Predictive analytics is recognized as a critical tool for gaining a competitive advantage, as it not only aids in mitigating risks related to turnover but also enhances the ability to proactively address potential organizational challenges before they escalate. The analysis was made on the basis of interviews conducted between human resource managers in thirteen companies in the country. The findings of the analysis show that only four out of a total of thirteen organizations apply modern systems in the direction of implementing predictive analytics of human resources. HR managers in the country agree that the application of predictive analytics for HR helps in reducing employee turnover intention and believe that only by applying predictive metrics and tracking semi-annual and annual trends and causes of job dissatisfaction and turnover, the organization creates practices and plans for corrective actions that address issues of importance to employees. They also emphasize that organizations leveraging predictive analytics can identify patterns related to workplace engagement and tailor their strategies to meet evolving employee needs effectively. Additionally, they believe that by analyzing the available databases for their employees, the risk of the best profiles leaving is successfully assessed. Hence, in order for organizations to make a realistic assessment and retain employees, it is imperative that they apply modern predictive analytics techniques by obtaining information and providing data that allows them to study changes in employee behavior and forecast the causes of such behavior in order to promptly take measures to encourage employee satisfaction and deter the intention to leave the company. Furthermore, predictive analytics enables organizations to align their talent management strategies with long-term business goals, ensuring that key positions are filled with employees who are both skilled and engaged.

This research paper presents a better understanding of the adjectives with the suffix -al, which will be given the similarities and differences between the adjectives in English and Albanian language The present papers deal with adjectives with prefixes and suffixes in general, while the dominant explanation in this paper is in-depth because there is only the suffix –al that will be studied the most. In this paper, examples of adjectives with suffix –al are taken from the novel The Great Gatsby by Francis S. Fitzgerald. Also, the same examples are found in the Albanian translation (by Stavri Pone) where a comparative analysis of this type of adjective from English to Albanian is made. The adjectives with the suffix -al are analyzed and the following conclusion is reached: out of a total of 15 examples with the suffix -al excerpted from the novel The Great Gatsby, the following equivalents were found when translated into Albanian; 40% of the adjectives are translated with the suffix –al/e, 40% are translated with suffix –ik/e, and 20% are translated with the suffix -shëm. The similarity of these English adjectives and their translation into Albanian is that the suffix -al with 40% when translated into Albanian stays as a suffix. In 40% of cases adjectives take the suffix ik/e, while in the rest of the cases adjectives take the suffix -shëm. Unlike most differences that English adjectives undergo when translated into Albanian, the ones used in this paper do not differ much in terms of suffixes. So suffixes stay as such with the only difference that into Albanian they change the type of suffixes. Consequently, this paper should be useful for Albanian students of English as a foreign language, as well as for Albanian teachers and researchers of English as a foreign language.

The interest in this paper was focused on couple of operative terms, mainly on the repetitive metaphor as a shared motif in two contemporary Macedonian novels – Senkite na sonot/Dreams’ shadows (2009) by Jovan Damjanovski and Pozhar/Arson (2010) by Petre Dimovski, both published by the Panili publishing house. These novels were published in the same time period and both of their authors are born the same year (1946). These are just a few of the similarities between these texts and precisely this makes their reading through the same interpretative optics possible. However, more importantly, in both of these novels we encounter something that we defined as “the repetitive metaphor”, which serves as a shared motif in both of the novels and functions both on literary and figurative level. The repeating metaphor of the so called “dreams’ shadows” in Damjanovski’s novel is used to signalize the shift from this material and physical world, to the world of dreams, to the oniric, the sensed, the almost imagined world “on the other side” (of life and of life experience). The repeating metaphor of the arson, as well as of various related synonyms of fire, is used in Dimovski’s novel to distinguish a shift in his character’s inner world and how they perceive reality. Thus, the repeating metaphor is a shared motif in both of these novels, which also share other features, such a similarity in treated topics (the beginning of the Macedonian transition), similar characters (self-aware and introspective ones), similar treatment of female characters (traditional vis-à-vis modern, progressive, emancipated female characters). The conclusion should show that the repeating or repetitive metaphor serves on multiple levels of the novels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Horror as a genre has a significant effect on the audience, not only through simulating fear and tension, but also through its influence on various aspects in the cultural and artistic sphere. From ancient myths and legends to contemporary films and literary works, horror as a genre attracts attention for its ability to explore man's (deepest) fears and phobias. In a cultural context, the phenomenon of fear, theorists managed to pierce into human psychology and insert it into the social dynamics of society. Through various aspects of the horror genre, with a particular emphasis on the film horror genre, such as: the script, characters, scenery, costumes and music, the authors manipulate the emotions of the audience and challenge them to think about these topics. In addition to mainstream horror narratives, an intriguing aspect of the genre lies in its connection to the folklore tradition, where tales of the supernatural and fantastic are passed down orally through the generations. The subgenre of horror, that is, the folk horror draws inspiration from these motifs of the fantastic, blending elements of myth and legend to create narratives that blur the lines between reality and fiction. Rooted in the tradition of fantasy, a literary genre that combines elements of the supernatural through realistic settings and characters, folkloric horror stories often evoke a sense of eerie familiarity because they are rooted in the primal fears of collective memory. In this paper, the effect of the so-called folklore or folk horror genre in the cultural-artistic context is discussed. In doing so, analyzing its impact on audiences and society and examining how authors use horror to communicate with different segments of the human psyche and how that communication impacts our beliefs. With this research, through examples, we will try to understand why horror is such a potent and influential genre in the contemporary cultural scene. By "dissecting" the various elements – from narrative constructs and character archetypes to visual aesthetics and thematic motifs – the aim is to uncover the complex ways in which horror resonates with audiences and shapes the cultural-artistic discourse of fear.

The paper addresses the complex nature of the myth and its puzzle, through the ancient literary sources that shaped the story of Antigone as we know it today. The review of the literary treatments of the myth of Antigone in European literature served us as an interpretative direction in the conception of the literary treatments of this myth in contemporary Macedonian literature through the example of two poems entitled Antigone, one by Janko Ninov and the other by Kalia Dimitrova, the short story entitled Tragedy ‘Creon’ by Kalina Maleska and the play Ismena by Katerina Momeva. On the one hand, in both contemporary poetic achievements we follow a stable adherence to the basic mythic schemes and a consistent takeover of classical patterns from dramatic templates, as is the case with the poems dedicated to Antigone of Ninov and Dimitrova. On the other hand, in the works of Momeva and Maleska, a series of deviations from the classical patterns are evident. They are manifested as differences in the dramatic structure, freedom in the characterization of the characters and contamination of the classic mythical fables with ethical behaviors and aesthetic solutions inherent in the current context of postmodern society. All this points to the conclusion that the establishment of the network of intertextual relations such as citationality, sententity, emulation or imitation aims to address the social dichotomy of the contemporary context, rather than expressing fidelity to classical patterns. These connections of the content of the current reality with that of the classical past are realized by injecting contemporary poetic, critical and theoretical material into the new representation and recreation of the original mythical story.
