The image of the child raises questions that need to be analyzed and discussed, particularly in the visual messages of the advertisements. The presence or absence of children and the characteristics of their reflections in the media, specifically in the context of television commercials, put forward controversial issues. Due to the easy positioning of the child image, different narratives aim to place the child as a family member, a cute object, or a potential future user. The paper discusses how children´s image is used in the frame of the automobile ads. As the main source of data, internet commercials were given priority. Also, a focus group of 20, and a sample group of 100 children were questioned regarding their reflections on ads and sample actions practiced in the ads. The findings indicate that car ads containing children´s images tend to take precedence. In the ads, the concept of family is portrayed and associated with happiness, comfort, freedom, and trust, etc. While the samples provide examples from all segments of society, representations of white and blond kids in well-off families are more frequent. Childish purity and sensitivity are exhibited and emphasized in the context of car ads: their quality, performance, features, and capacity are always within the limits of the interests of children. If not real cars, the toy versions are enough to set the agenda as long as they are accessible to children to use, touch, and feel.

Background: With the aim of encouraging mobility between higher education institutions in the Western Balkan countries and those in the European Union (EU), the European Commission initiated a series of measures to increase the share of students primarily from the Western Balkans who spend at least one semester away from their home institutions, but also the share of young people from EU member states who come to Western Balkan (WB) countries. Objectives: Aim of the paper is to determine the degree of representation of internationalisation strategy and policy elements in the internal documents of higher education institutions and its direct impact on the development of mobility. Methods/Approach: An electronic survey has been created and sent to representatives of 9 EU and 11 WB universities. Respondents were mainly international relations officers or management representatives. Mann-Whitney test was applied in order to test differences between EU and WB universities. Results: The conducted Mann-Whitney nonparametric tests show that the degree of representation of internationalisation strategy and policy elements in the internal documents of a higher education institution has a direct impact on the development of mobility. Conclusions: By 2020, the European Commission aims to have 20% of all students acquiring an academic degree within the European Higher Education Area participate in mobility. This paper sheds light on this segment and indicates possible directions for actions aimed at developing mobility at institutions in Western Balkan countries

The present paper deals with the population of the Seleukid settlements in order to address issues about the settlers’ mobility and ethnic identity. By surveying the available evidence, this study aims in particular to understand the role played by non-Greek populations in the Seleukid Empire, trying to go beyond the thesis of an apartheid-like regime in which those ethnic groups would be socially as well as politically isolated from the Greco-Macedonian settlers.

Research background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruptions to the global tourism industry, resulting in significant impacts on both human and economic activities. Travel restrictions, border closures, and quarantine measures have led to a sharp decline in tourism demand, causing businesses to shut down, jobs to be lost, and economies to suffer. Purpose of the article: This study aims to examine the correlation and causal relationship between real-time mobility data and statistical data on tourism, specifically tourism overnights, across eleven European countries during the first 14 months of the pandemic. We analyzed the short longitudinal connections between two dimensions of tourism and related activities. Methods: Our method is to use Google and Apple's observational data to link with tourism statistical data, enabling the development of early predictive models and econometric models for tourism overnights (or other tourism indices). This approach leverages the more timely and more reliable mobility data from Google and Apple, which is published with less delay than tourism statistical data. Findings & value added: Our findings indicate statistically significant correlations between specific mobility dimensions, such as recreation and retail, parks, and tourism statistical data, but poor or insignificant relations with workplace and transit dimensions. We have identified that leisure and recreation have a much stronger influence on tourism than the domestic and routine-named dimensions. Additionally, our neural network analysis revealed that Google Mobility Parks and Google Mobility Retail & Recreation are the best predictors for tourism, while Apple Driving and Apple Walking also show significant correlations with tourism data. The main added value of our research is that it combines observational data with statistical data, demonstrates that Google and Apple location data can be used to model tourism phenomena, and identifies specific methods to determine the extent, direction, and intensity of the relationship between mobility and tourism flows.

The article presents the issue of mobility as an element of the development of the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolis. Mobility is an important element of the metropolitan’s functioning. The aim of the research is to identify the factors of mobility development in the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolis from the perspective of collective and individual transport users. The article presents the results of theoretical and especially empirical research connected with the needs of mobility development in the Górnośląsko- -Zagłębiowska Metropolis. The research results indicate the need to develop mobility based on rail transport. The vast majority of transport users notice the necessity of changes and the need to break the existing asymmetry of road transport – for the development of rail transport. The change of the unfavorable trend of excessive development of road transport caused disturbances in the functioning of passenger transport.

Przedmiotem badań zawartych w artykule jest kwestia mobilności jako elementu wsparcia rozwoju Metropolii Śląsko-Zagłębiowskiej. Struktura tematyki badań obejmuje zagadnienia teoretyczne związane z identyfikacją i klasyfikacją mobilności oraz różnicami dotyczącymi tego zagadnienia. Część badawcza została oparta na wynikach badań empirycznych. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na silną potrzebę ożywienia transportu kolejowego w celu ograniczenia rozwoju transportu drogowego. Nadmierny rozwój transportu drogowego jest efektem niewłaściwej polityki transportu, jak również powoduje wzrost kongestii w obszarze Metropolii Śląsko-Zagłębiowskiej.

Artykuł ujmuje zjawisko turystyki jako nowoczesnej odmiany mobilności, której wewnętrzna struktura zaczęła przybierać formę na przełomie XIX i XX w. Zaprezentowane w opracowaniu badanie opiera się na innowacyjnym podejściu Hasso Spodego, historyka mentalności. Jego koncepcja wywarła wpływ na współczesne badania nad historią turystyki w niemieckiej historiografii. Opierając się na jego teoretycznym framingu, badanie ujawnia, jak podróż, która od końca XVIII w. miała różnorodne motywy, doświadczenia, pomysły i praktyki, zaczęła się krystalizować w psychomentalnej fundacji: spojrzenie turystyczne. Następnie badanie interpretuje turystykę jako produkt przestrzenności czasu i czasochłowania przestrzeni. Wreszcie, wykorzystując teoretyczną koncepcję „retrotopii” Zygmunta Baumana, afirmuje dzisiejszą formę turystyki wraz z jej pierwotną formą i prowadzi do wniosku, że turystyka jako kontrowersyjne zjawisko współczesnych czasów jest obdarzona ludzką nostalgią, romansem, niekończącym się pragnieniem autentyczności, a także wieczną obsesją idei „postępu”, obejmującej również pojęcia utopijne.

Artykuł ujmuje zjawisko turystyki jako nowoczesnej odmiany mobilności, której wewnętrzna morfologia zaczęła przybierać wyrazistą formę na przełomie XIX i XX w. Zaprezentowane w opracowaniu badanie opiera się na innowacyjnym podejściu Hasso Spode, historyka mentalności. Jego pomysł wywarł duży wpływ na współczesne badania nad historią turystyki w niemieckiej historiografii. Opierając się na jego teoretycznym framingu, badanie ujawnia, jak podróż, która od końca XVIII w. miała różnorodne motywy, doświadczenia, pomysły i praktyki, zaczęła się konsolidować w ramach psychomentalnej fundacji: spojrzenia turystycznego. Następnie badanie interpretuje turystykę jako produkt uprzestrzennienia czasu i temporalizacji przestrzeni. Wreszcie, artykuł, wykorzystując teoretyczną koncepcję „retrotopii” Zygmunta Baumana, łączy dzisiejszą formę turystyki z jej pierwotną formą i prowadzi do wniosku, że turystyka jako kontrowersyjne zjawisko współczesnych czasów jest obdarzona ludzką nostalgią, liryką, niekończącym się pragnieniem autentyczności, a także wieczną obsesją idei „postępu” obejmującej również pojęcia utopijne.

The study historicizes the phenomenon of the tourism as a purely modern variety of the mobility of which inner morphology began to take form at the turn of the 19th century. First, the study draws on the innovative approach of Hasso Spode, historian of mentality, who has a profound influence over contemporary research of the history of tourism in German historiography. Using his theoretical framing, the study discloses how a travel that, from the late 18th century, had a diverse set of motives, experiences, ideas and practices, started to be cemented by a psychomental foundation: the tourist gaze. Then, the study interprets tourism as the product of spatialization of time and temporalization of space. Finally, the article, using Zygmunt Bauman´s theoretical conception of “retrotopia“, clips today´s form of tourism together with its primordial form and leads to the conclusion that tourism as a controversial phenomenon of modern times is endowed with human nostalgia, romance, a never-ending desire for authenticity as well as an eternal obsession with the idea of “progress” encompassing also utopian notions.
