The article aims at describibng these philosophical concepts within anti-humanistic narrative, which perceive a chance for the renewal of thinking in the death of some ideas and concepts. Trying to extract certain .dominant motive., which could combine different thinkers such as Donna Haraway, Giorgio Agamben, Antonio Negri and Elizabeth Grosz, one encounters the question of the inhuman, which now is considered neither as a threat nor as a barbarity, but rather a space potentially liberating. A brave mix of that which is human and inhuman: machine, beast, animal, opens a new horizon for questions on the very substance of such a combination.

The local geographic milieu plays a significant role in development of every man because of its orientation in space, a sense of security and belonging to the community and the place where he lives or who perform his activities. In other words, one needs to fall in a particular social group that inhabits an area or to perform some activities able in a space, because that is something that stands out from the rest of the world and marking his individuality. The main long-term goal of development of each local community is to increase the quality of life of all its members, job creation, integration of the local community in a wider social system through health, educational and cultural institutions, creating a network of relationships and connections and correlations of all the actors from the state and public sector up to private enterprise, local authorities and local associations. Of particular importance for Serbia, is a question of development of local rural communities, which is closely linked to issues of sustainable and balanced spatial, socio-economic and demographic development. This issue becomes more important in efforts to prevent existing urban-centric trends and highlighted the economic and demographic polarization of Serbia.

During the 90's, Serbia went through a difficult political and economic changes, which caused a radical decrease in the number of tourists, especially foreigners, as well as a negative perception of Serbia on the global tourist market. After 2000, with political and economic stabilization, Serbia enhanced opportunities for targeting tourists from European tourism market. Despite of its efforts, Serbia has been unable to consistently achieve its goals, which is reflected in the low income from tourism and a small share on the international tourism market. One of the consequences of this scenario might be attributed to Serbia's unfavorable image in the mind of world travelers. This study was conducted with the purpose of analyzing the relationship between destination image of Serbia, overall satisfaction of foreign visitors and their destination loyalty. The survey examines the image held by tourists who visited Serbia during 2007. The data is analyzed qualitatively. The research is applied to event, urban and cruising tourism, as the most attractive forms of tourist movements for foreign visitors.

This paper deals with cruises along Corridor 7 and the tourist offer of Serbia. The purpose of the paper has been to establish how international tourists see our country during their travels across Serbia on cruises along Corridor 7. The research has been based on the interviews with international tourists who participated in land tours while cruising through Serbia. The interviews, together with the structured questionnaire, were conducted from March to November 2007 with the objectives to establish the following: the structure of the respondents according to the country of origin, gender and age structure, as well as the social and economic structure; what their motives are for cruising along Corridor 7; what is their perception of the value obtained through the tourist product and services during the Corridor 7 cruises and during their stay in Serbia (what they liked best in Serbia; if they were dissatisfied with anything in terms of the tourist offer of Serbia; to what extent their visit complemented or influenced their personal impressions of this country - what their impressions were before and after the visit). The importance of this paper, above all, is in broadening our knowledge about the adequacy of the tourist offer in Serbia in the tourism segment which is the subject of study of the paper.

This article presents the ethnic structure of the population of Vojvodina according to the 2002 census results. Also, there are analyzed the ethnodemographic changes in the period 1991–2002, caused by the following relevant factors: natural movement, migration and changed declaration on national affiliation. Ethnocentric migrations (voluntary and forced) primarily influenced the change of ethnic structure of the Vojvodina, in the sense of creating a nationally more homogeneous region, having in mind the national structure of refugee-population. On the other hand, the emigration of some other nationalities which migrated to their mother countries due to political and economic reasons influenced the ethnic structure of the population, too. On the whole, the ethnic picture of Vojvodina is a complex one and undergoing changes continuously. Having in mind that Vojvodina is a multiethnic and multiconfessional region, the question of minorities and interethnic relations is undoubtedly of great significance for the stability and demographic development of this region.

Highly skilled employees are the most valuable part of the migrant labour force. This value is determined by employee’s professional competence, enabling them to contribute significantly to the destination and origin countries’ economic and social development. Global competition for states’ leadership, innovations, economic growth, the rapid and accelerating progress, unsatisfactory demographic processes and along the growing demand for highly skilled labour force impel rich countries to apply international recruitment strategies to attract and hire highly skilled foreign professionals. But what does the very term “abroad” mean to the highly skilled migrants? The research aim is to present the “abroad” image, its variability in time and space and its role in choosing the state of destination. The research object is an image of abroad, created and recreated by highly skilled migrants. This article also analyzes the distinctions between highly skilled migrants and other migrants’ groups, provides the origin of selective immigration programmes, and based on semistructured interviews with highly skilled migrants in natural sciences and technology fields presents the image of “abroad”, its different contents and meanings, depending on time, space and personal future experience.The article reveals that high professional qualification is a fundamental characteristic that distinguishes highly skilled workers from other migrant groups and determines their particular situation before and after migration. Other specific features flow from this fundamental characteristic. These are the high positioning of highly skilled migrants in the hierarchy of jobs, legal employment and social guarantees, less dependent on strong social ties and higher values of weak social ties, a high degree of integration in the country of destination and, therefore, more favourable attitudes of the local population toward highly skilled migrants. The significance of the image of abroad occurs through its power to shape the highly skilled professional’s general approach of abroad, to concentrate “abroad” only to a certain country or region of the world and to shape attitudes toward personal migration and potential country of destination.

Fundort Grudine befindet sich neben dem Dorf Čipuljić unweit von Bugojno in Westbosnien. Zwischen den Jahren 1959. und 1968. wurden dort um 300 Gräber entdeckt. St. Klug (Anthropologisches Institut der Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz) hat 256 Skelette anthropologisch untersucht und veröffentlicht (siehe Literatur). Danach, zwischen den Jahren 1970. und 1974., wurden noch kleinere archäologische Ausgrabungen durchgefuhrt. Der Verfasser hat im Landesmuseum von Bosnien und Herzegovina in Sarajevo aus diesen Jahren rund 20 Schädel, die fast vollerhalten sind, gefunden und untersucht. Diese Schädel sind schon im Laufe der Ausgrabungen als 1,2,7,11,12,13 und 15/1970,1,2 und 3/1971, dann 1,2,3 ,4 ,4 /1 ,5 und 6/1973 und schließlich als 1,2 und 3/1974 numeriert Alle diese Gräber, bzw. Schädel, sind im Zeitraum zwischen IX und XII, spätestens bis XV Jhr, zu datieren. Die Darstellung von Geschlecht und Alter, als auch die Schädelwerte zeigt Tab. 1. Die Taf. 2 zeigt geschlechtspezifische Mittelwerte und Standardabweichungen des Schädels. Die T-Test Ergebnisse sind auf Taf. 3 geschildert. Die grösste morphometrische Unterschiede zwischen den Ergebnissen zwei Aiithoren haben sich bei der Schädellänge der Männern und bei der Obergesichtshöhe der Frauen (siehe Taf. 3) gezeigt.

Parallel zur archäologischen Ausgrabung auf dem neolithischen Tell in Okolište wurden seit 2002 pollenanalytische und archäobotanische Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Ziel der naturwissenschaftlichen Begleituntersuchungen war die Rekonstruktion der Landschaftsentwicklung und Landnutzungsgeschichte, sowie die Erforschung der Wirtschaftsweise und Ernährung der neolithischen Bevölkerung. Die pollenanalytischen Untersuchungen wurden im weiteren Raum des Visoko-Beckens durchgeführt. Nachdem eine detailierte Untersuchung von Sedimenten aus dem Grabungsareal aufgrund geringer Pollenführung und schlechter Pollenerhaltung aufgegeben wurde, konnte in einem Niedermoor nahe der Ortschaft Seoce, etwa 7 km nordöstlich von Okolište, eine Bohrung niedergebracht werden. Sie lieferte eine 450 cm lange Sedimentabfolge von organischen Mudden, Tonen und Torfen, wie sie trotz intensiver Prospektion in einem Umkreis von 30 km nicht wieder angetroffen wurde. Vorgestellt wird hier ein vorläufiges Pollendiagramm aus 70 Proben aus allen Profilteilen.

Aufgrund der Prospektions- und Grabungsergebnisse eines bosnisch herzegowinisch/ deutschen Gemeinschaftsprojektes (Kujundžić-Vejzagić i dr. 2004.) besteht die Möglichkeit, demographische Variablen verschiedener Siedlungen im zentralbosnischen Visoko-Becken zu bestimmen. Aus der Rekonstruktion der Häuserzahl pro Siedlung ergeben sich einerseits Einwohnerzahlen von bis zu 1000 Einwohnern pro Dorf bzw. 31E/qkm in den Kernregionen der spätneolithischen Besiedlung, was einer Bevölkerungsdichte von ca. 1,8 E/qkm im gesamten Butmir-Einzugsgebiet entspricht. Diese Werte werden mit denen anderer demographischer Modelle für den südosteuropäischen und mitteleuropäischen Raum verglichen. Andererseits sind eine offene Kulturlandschaft mit einer durchgehend ausgeräumten Feldflur und Formen mobiler Tierhaltung im Gebiet Zentralbosniens zu postulieren.

Political, social and economic changes that happened in Serbia and the Balkan region during the 1990s had a very visible and predominantly unfavorable influence on that region’s demographic dynamics during that period. Numerous adverse demographic trends were continued and further increased, and some previously overcome demographic occurrences became active again (intensified fertility decrease, slower decrease or even an increase in mortality, mass forced migration and economic migration with many characteristics of actual exodus). In the 2000s, the stabilization of political circumstances, which resulted in successful accession to the European Union for some countries and, for others, the intensification of activities related to European integration, was also followed by demographic changes. In Serbia, these changes did not have the same intensity or, in certain cases, the same direction as in the majority of other countries in the region. Unlike some other Balkan countries, where an increase in fertility, an intensified decrease in mortality by age and a significant decrease in international migration were recorded, Serbia was still marked by decrease in fertility, a slower increase in life expectancy, a significant decrease in immigration and increased emigration.

Under the conditions of low birthrate, as it is the case in Republika Srpska, mortality represents one of the key factors of total demographic development. Analysis of vital statistics for the period 1996-2010 indicates problems in demographic development, from which the most important one is permanent mortality increase. Therefore, extensive analysis is required which would imply problems and possible solutions for elimination of negative demographic image.

Consider the contradictions in the demographic development of countries and regions of the world. Special attention is paid by the author to the general planetary aging of the population, to a decrease in the birth rate, to the transformation of the foundations of the family, and to a general slowdown in the rate of population growth. At the same time, the author points out that the traditional demographic indicators are not always able to cope with the tasks of mapping global, regional and country demographic processes. Therefore, they offer an original methodology for studying the demographic situation in the countries of the world, in the mirror of classical indicators and standardized demographic coefficients.

The population, households, and dwellings census is the crucial statistical source of specific data on a country's population. There has been an official census in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its Republic of Srpska entity, after 22 years. The period between the two censuses has seen many administrative-territorial, social-economic, and demographic changes. There is a matter of methodological comparison between the 1991 and 2013 censuses due to huge administrative-territorial alterations with reference to municipalities and settlements. The preliminary 2013 census results indicate a vast decrease in population within the area of the Republic of Srpska.

Region of Toplica has expirienced several stages of demographic development, and each of these stages has left an impact on current demographic situation. The basic demographic characteristics of Toplica region, at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century are an intensive process of depopulation and a negative natural growth, which leads to a rapid decrease in population. The demographic development of the Toplica region is the consequence of a number of factors, primarily its geographical location, socio -economic development and historical factors. The second half of the 20th century has been marked by intensive process of demographic change. Negative demographic trends are particularly present in the rural areas of the region, and its consequences are reduce of rural population, unfavorable age structure, jeopardizing agricultural production and demographic extinguish of villages. The economy of the region, which is not developed in accordance with its natural resources, did not provide an adequate standard of living, which has led to the migration from villages to the urban centres. These migrations has also been directed to the major economic centres which are located outside of the borders of the region (Niš, Kruševac and Belgrade).
