The current situation of national minorities, indigenous peoples and the policy of multiculturalism needs to be reconsidered from a legal point of view. The purpose of the article was to investigate the legal regulation of ethnonational policy, using the experience of major democratic states. The article used various methods of scientific knowledge such as cognition. On the basis of the analysis, the legal mechanisms of ethnonational policy regulation are examined in detail through the prism of the main trends of indigenous peoples' rights. In the results, special attention was paid to the practices of multiculturalism and observance of the rights of indigenous peoples. In particular, the founding documents of the UN and the Council of Europe, individual legislative decisions of other international organizations and various national parliaments were studied. Also, using the example of the legislation of modern countries of the Balkan Peninsula, modern trends in the resolution of the rights of national minorities are indicated. The conclusions underline the prospect of using the model of autonomous communities for the legal regulation of the life of national minorities and indigenous peoples in a multicultural society.

The study is relevant as the category of "national security" is multilevel. The work reveals the characteristics and components of this system. The concept of national security exists all over the world. It is one of the most important types of security and is studied by academics from different countries. Furthermore, the concept of national security means a set of scientific and theoretical ideas, opinions and views that dominate in each society and is a subjective reflection of objective ties and national security relations in the public consciousness. From a documentary methodology the article aims to study the legal nature and essence of national security. It is concluded that the genesis of this concept tracks the dialectical interaction of objective and subjective factors. The legal regulation of national security is a comprehensive and multifaceted process based on a complex system of legal rules and regulations. The most significant ones are analyzed in this study. However, academics have not considered all the legal components of national security.

Ante la proliferación de revistas científicas editadas por las universidades y las dificultades que éstas enfrentan para profesionalizar sus procesos, el artículo expone la problemática y propone algunos puntos de reflexión sobre el rol que asumen las universidades en esta labor, teniendo en cuenta características comunes de este tipo de publicaciones y preocupaciones ya expresadas por expertos en la materia, especialmente del ámbito iberoamericano. Se invita a un análisis profundo sobre las implicaciones que tiene para las universidades ser editoras de revistas científicas y buscar un equilibrio entre cantidad, calidad y pertinencia en los títulos que publica.

En el artículo, derivado de investigación, se muestran las dificultades identificadas en la ciudadela de la Universidad de Antioquia al momento de construir una definición de ambiente en la cual se incluya al ser humano como parte integral del mismo. Para tal fin se aplicaron dos encuestas, la primera que fue denominada "prueba piloto" sirvió para afinar las preguntas usadas en el campo de la psicología a la hora de abordar la preocupación ambiental, ésta es, la escala de Likert; la segunda, fue la encuesta depurada y aplicada entre empleados, docentes y estudiantes de la ciudad universitaria, que ofreció los elementos necesarios para analizar las representaciones sociales del ambiente que comprenden la valoración de los problemas ambientales, el nivel de implicación personal y la capacidad de acción, permitiendo una lectura desde la perspectiva antropológica de las relaciones entre los humanos y el ambiente en ese contexto social.

Se describen y analizan creencias acerca del uso del condón en jóvenes universitarios con o sin antecedentes de relaciones sexuales. Se aplicó una encuesta a 1 513 estudiantes, hombres y mujeres seleccionados al azar mediante muestreo probabilístico. Del total, 62%
reportó haber tenido relaciones sexuales y 38% dijo que no. Las creencias sobre el uso del condón fueron asociadas con la pérdida del placer, las dificultades de uso y los estereotipos de género, más por los varones que por las mujeres. Se concluye que en estudiantes
universitarios persisten creencias poco favorecedoras acerca del uso del condón aun cuando no hayan iniciado relaciones coitales.
De no promover cambios, la tendencia se mantendrá con sus consecuentes riesgos.
