Advertising and public relations operate in the social space solving their professional tasks and dealing with the mass consciousness or with its relevant social cross-section – public opinion.
For public relations and advertising the study of public opinion is to research public reaction to these activities, company image, goods. services produced by such company and implications of its activities. Studying interrelationships between PR and advertising activities and public opinion has a pragmatic meaning: it helps these corporate institutions to function in society in a more effective way.
The manual examines the relationship of journalism and public opinion. Journalism is understood here as a structure, process, professional activity of collecting, processing, managing according to certain standards, transferring socially significant information in society for solving certain tasks remotely on a regular basis. Public opinion is a conglomeration of opinions, interests, preferences, likes and dislikes, relationships, behavioral patterns in society. This explains the mutual interest of journalism to public opinion, since this world of opinions characterizes society. Public opinion is interested in journalism, because the structures that study public opinion supply the public with this information. The process of studying public opinion, the methodological apparatus of surveys is professional knowledge. Journalists, too, should have it. The Book is addressed to students of journalism faculties.

The proposed determinant based on modern ideas about the systematics of lichens makes it possible to make up for the lack of knowledge of these organisms in swamp ecosystems. The first sections provide brief information about the biology, ecology, practical significance of lichens, and methods of study necessary for the identification of species. In the main part, various keys are given for determining lichens (genera, lichen species, taking into account their substrate confinement and in the absence of fruit bodies); diagnoses of 107 genera are given, before which keys are given for determining the species of these genera, as well as diagnoses of 345 species. After the name of the species, its synonyms are given, and after the diagnosis of the species, the types of swamps and the substrates on which these taxa occur in swamps are indicated.
The determinant is designed for botanists, geographers, employees of specially protected natural areas, students, postgraduates, as well as nature lovers interested in lichens.
