Проблем пасивности Далмације.
За Далмацију, а нарочито за њено Загорје, превладава опћенито мишљење да је пасиван крај. Она је то уистину. И та њена пасивност бива све већа. Особито за ово неколико последњих година.

In the 21st century, migrations within metropolitan areas, mainly from central cities to suburban areas, and depopulation of peripheral areas began to gain strength. After 2004, the size of emigration from Poland clearly increased, as well as the number of countries to which Poles began to leave, and in the last few years we have observed an advantage of immigration over emigration. The aim of this study is to analyze the scale and spatial extent of population migrations in the Lodzkie Voivodship in the years 2002–2019. The inflow and outflow as well as the effects of these movements (net migration) were analyzed in detail. The text presents domestic and international migrations in the Łódź Voivodeship in general and at the poviat level, defined as a change of permanent place of residence (i.e. registration and deregistration). For a complete picture of the differences in the migration phenomenon in the Lodzkie Voivodship, the analysis was supplemented with the migration attractiveness index. The source of all data presented in this study is the information available in the database of the Central Statistical Office of Demographics. The negative balance of displacements between voivodeships for the region proves the low attractiveness of settlement in the Lodzkie Voivodship. The region loses its inhabitants mainly to the neighboring voivodeships. In the years 2002–2019, the poviats neighboring with the capital of the region were in the best situation, with a positive migration balance, characterized by the influx of people mainly from the voivodeship’s areas. Apart from a positive balance of migratory flows, the following poviats, ie: Brzeziński, Łódzki Wschodni, Pabianicki and Zgierz were also characterized by positive migration efficiency coefficients. This proves the concentration of the suburbanization process in the poviats around Łódź. In the case of foreign migrations, in the last few years, the region has recorded an advantage of immigration over emigration, similarly to the national scale.

The study aims at a comparative analysis of the migration process in Romania and the Republic of Moldova in the recent years. The research studies the influencing factors of the migration phenomenon in the two countries considered in the analysis, as well as its economic and social effects. Given that migration has profound implications for all economies, decision-makers should adopt a strategy in this area to limit the exodus of skilled labour force from those strategic economic branches as well as incentive policies that lead to the return of diaspora specialists.

The nature and intensity of migration processes are constantly changing. Demographic statistics are not suitable for obtaining up-to-date information and making timely decisions in the field of demographic and social policy. Thus, digital demography is becoming increasingly important, as this area of population research uses new methods and data sources resulting from the Internet expansion and the digitalisation of society. Using digital demography methods and emerging data sources, the study aims to identify current migration trends in Russia at the municipal level. The duality of the object (real and virtual population) and methods (demographic and data science methods) of digital demography is demonstrated. Digital data sources for studying migration and relevant processing methods were considered. Further, it was proposed to assess migration flows by examining social network information and graphs of migration routes. The analysis of data obtained from the “Virtual population of Russia” project for 2356 urban and municipal regions revealed the features of intermunicipal migration and the centres of migration attraction in the country. An indicator for assessing the potential of future migrations based on the graphs of migration routes was presented. The analysis results show that balanced spatial development of Russia requires the stimulation of human capital development in local centres characterised by high migration potential. These include regional capitals, “second” cities in terms of population, and some research and industrial centres. The study findings can be used to consider demographic processes at the municipal level and elaborate strategic documents in the field of regional spatial development. Further digitalisation and the implementation of digital economy projects will lead to the accumulation of population data at the national level. Therefore, future research should focus on improving digital demography methods for studying and forecasting demographic processes.

Nowadays companies have been facing arising modern world challenges, where rules employee's knowledge, high technology, digitalisation, expertise and innovation, what put demanding tasks for firms to invest more in talents' learning and development in order to master changes and sustain competitive advantage. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of talented managers’ learning and development on their retention within the companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Methodology in this research article included an appropriate questionnaire on talents' training and education and talents' engagement, as the measure for talent retention. The results from this research showed that talented managers in Bosnia and Herzegovina attended mostly “on job trainings and educations through job instructions” and “external trainings through seminars”. Furthermore, it is discovered that talent training and education affect the factors of employee engagement, but it is not statistically significant for talent retention. The contribution of this study is in the first place to the existing theory on talents management, as well as to companies in developing countries to realise the importance of talents learning and development and the need for its customization to talents' uniqueness in order to increase talent retention.

The research on "Socio-economic consequences of young people leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina" aimed to locate, analyze and determine the reasons, motives and reasons for leaving their homeland and going to other destinations on the planet, focusing on the socio-economic consequences of these departures. The authors focus on the analysis and interpretation of theoretical and empirical knowledge about the consequences caused by the departure of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Starting from the multidimensionality of the problem of young people leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina, which requires the identification of factors at the individual, family and social level and which contribute to this phenomenon, the research focuses on individual, endogenous and institutional factors that cause young people to leave Bosnia and Herzegovina. the consequences that the departure of young people brings with it. The following methods and techniques were used in the research process: content analysis, questionnaire, interview, case study, survey and statistical method. A stratified sample was used for the sample, taking into account the proportional and territorial representation of young people. The research included 3000 young people who were from 18 to 29 years old in the research period. The research conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period 2019 and 2020, showed that there are several reasons, factors and causes why young people leave BiH and that young people, aged 18 to 29, are represented by 69% of the total the number of those leaving, while 31% belong to other age groups. Based on the obtained results, we advocated for the implication of considering the negative effects of social factors on the socio-economic causes of young people leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina.

From the sociological point of view, the paper deals with the contradictory consequences of the process of globalization which has become a key word for understanding social changes in the world marked by population migrations, transnational capitalism and global culture based on imperial aspirations of the West. It is about broader geopolitical and social process whose causes are at the same time socio-historical, cultural, political, and economic. Globalization contributes to the creation of new identities, but also tensions and conflicts due to diversities on any grounds: racial, national, religious, class. The paper discusses the effects of this process in dramatic circumstances of disintegration of social space from destabilized and war-affected areas of the Middle East, an increasing number of migrations, social instability, inequality and poverty.

Iseljavanje kvalifikovane radne snage i gubitak ljudskog kapitala predstavlja značajan izazov za brojne zemlje, naročito za zemlje u razvoju u koju se svrstava i Bosna i Hercegovina. Ovaj rad nastojat će dati osvrt na problematiku migracije kvalifikovane radne snage iz BiH, cijenu koju država BiH plaća zbog gubitka ljudskog kapitala sa kojim se suočava, sa naročitim osvrtom na radnike iz IT sektora. O trendu iseljavanja građana iz BiH se u posljednje vrijeme znatno govori, kako u opštoj tako i u stručnoj javnosti. Međutim, za sveobuhvatno razumijevanje ovog problema nedostaje nekoliko ključnih informacija da bi se ponudili odgovori i planovi koje društvo treba preduzeti kako bi se izborilo sa potencijalnim negativnim aspektima odlaska kvalifikovane radne snage iz zemlje.

Nowadays, society assumes interactions and relationships between cultures, between members of different peoples or states. Intercultural communication is the basis of creating such connections and contacts, especially in the context of migration. The present research identifies the Romanians level of cultural adaptation and their ability in taking on new communication paradigms in the migration process, but it also notices the existence of some obstacles/barriers and Romanian migrants` attempt to exceed them with a view to integration into the new country. We will start with conceptual identifications and specialists` opinions in the field. The main part of the study is built on research realized as an investigation based on a questionnaire addressed to the Romanians abroad. This research lays on observing the perceptiveness of strangers over Romanians, on identifying prejudices and discrimination, the difficulties in adapting to the new economic, social, and cultural environment. As well, it lays on establishing the methods of accepting and tolerating intercultural differences.

Hidden migrant routes through Croatia lead through forest areas (among other types of terrain) which include those along state borders, but also forests in the interior of the territory. Those forests can variously be seen as shelters for migrants, albeit harsh, or as green tunnels leading to desired destinations, and as scenes of suffering and violence. This article approaches the forests in question as landscapes that have been transformed from a neutral natural environment into active factors for creating and maintaining border control regimes and deterring and expelling unwanted migrants. Based on our long-term field research and publicly available (archival, media and other) sources, we seek to document, interpret, and interconnect the objects and practices involved in constructing the forest as a hostile terrain and perilous environment for migrants, and as an important element in controlling unwanted migrations. These are, on the one hand, objects and practices that intervene into forests, such as setting up cameras or cutting down trees, and, on the other, interventions that take place in forests, such as police interception or expulsion. Apart from these external interventions, in this context of remodeling forests into dangerous environments, one can also discuss the role of nature itself and its characteristics, as well as the causes of why migrants find themselves in nature in the first place. Although, at first glance, it seems that people on the move choose the forest as the place and route of their movement of their own volition, they are pushed and expelled into these forests by exclusionary policies (visa regimes, asylum systems, etc.). This, ultimately, classifies forests in Croatia as weaponized landscapes of exclusion and death, such as the desert (e.g., De León 2015), mountain (Del Biaggio et al. 2020), maritime (e.g., Albahari 2015) or archipelago (Mountz 2017) landscapes.

In August 2018, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel embarked on a trip to three African countries (Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal) to discuss economic ties and partnership with the main aim to limit, if not stop the over-whelming migration of citizens from Africa. The trip has raised some hopes as well as question towards what it seeks to achieve and this paper tries to investigate the prospects using historical and theoretical approaches to understand why people migrate and as well the hold of government on its people if at all such partnership will yield positive results. Using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the social capital theory, this paper concludes that the journey through such partnership is a rough one if not a dead-end unless some structural changes are made in the process of governance in the aforementioned countries.

Welcoming more than 1.7 million refugee and asylum-seeker children, Turkey has put a considerable effort in turning this tragedy into an advantage for these children in terms of their education. Language teaching has played a remarkable role in this effort. Turkey has offered both Turkish and English language courses to these people. Considering the significance of English as a global language for social integration and future studies, this study attempted to investigate young Syrian refugee students’ attitudes toward English language and their reasons to learn English. Moreover, their perspectives were compared with Turkish young learners. Thirty-eight Turkish and 26 Syrian 5th graders (aged 10–11) voluntarily participated in this study. The findings indicated that learning English makes Syrian students happy, whereas Turkish students enjoy the fun activities in English classes. Learning English is considered both relatively easy and important by both groups. Turkish and Syrian young learners’ reasons to learn English differed slightly. Suggestions were provided for refugee young learners to overcome the potential problems regarding language learning.

Language attitudes that are considered to be an important factor in language maintenance as they impact language behaviour. The paper analyses language attitudes in a particular setting of international adoption and this gives an opportunity to separate the cognitive and affective components of language attitudes from the behavioural component as the adoptive parents do not know the mother-tongue of their children. The data is taken from a sociolinguistic survey to the adoptive Italian parents of Lithuanian children. The respondents are 74 families and the information provided concerns 117 children adopted from Lithuania at different ages, the great majority over the age of 5, therefore with fully developed first language skills, about half also literate in their L1. Two thirds of the children were adopted together with at least one sibling. The paper analyses the declared language attitudes, the language practices (knowledge and use of foreign languages) of the adoptive parents and the relation to efforts of maintaining some kind of link to Lithuanian. The results show that families where at least one parent knows and uses at least one foreign language are more likely to take initiative in maintaining links. However, in the situation of adoption, i.e. children with experience of abandonment trauma, this is sometimes postponed due to psychological well-being of the child. Another aspect that is considered is the maintenance of Lithuanian in groups of siblings. The data shows that only groups of three siblings of older age (about 10 years old) maintain Lithuanian speaking among themselves for longer than a couple of months after the arrival to the country of the new life. In this case when no interlocutors in the mother-tongue are available for the children within the family, the adoptive parents put other efforts to maintain at least some links. For instance, contacting local Lithuanian communities or at least talking to the children about Lithuania. The open questions of the survey reveal greatly positive attitudes of the adoptive parents towards Lithuania, they consider this country to be of great importance in their lives via adoption. Despite the general very positive language attitudes of the adoptive parents both towards languages in general and towards Lithuanian and Lithuania as they hold it particularly dear, the children do not maintain the Lithuanian language. This shows in a very evident way how the cognitive and affective components of language attitudes, no matter how strong and positive they might be, when separated from the behavioural component, i.e. not speaking the language to the children, result in complete language loss within a such short period of time as one year. The situations described have resemblance with some language situations in case of emigration, a topic of great importance for Lithuanians in the recent decades, baring exactly this difference that the emigrated Lithuanian parents do have the ability to speak their mother-tongue to the children but sometimes are reluctant to do so or give up trying.

Globalizacija, migracija, visuomenės senėjimas ir kiti socialiniai procesai veikia šeimą ir šeimos narių santykius, ypač skirtingų kartų ryšius šeimose. Straipsnyje dėmesys skiriamas V. L. Bengtsono ir R. E. L. Robertso pristatytam kartų solidarumui šeimoje, ypač vienai jo dimensijų – funkciniam solidarumui, aiškinamasi, kaip jį veikia socialiniai demografiniai ir socialiniai ekonominiai veiksniai. Empiriniai duomenys buvo gauti atlikus internetinę apklausą 2019 m. birželio – 2020 m. sausio mėn. Latvijoje (N = 410). Gauti rezultatai rodo, kad bendra paramos tarp kartų teikimo ir gavimo tendencija yra panaši į kitose šalyse pastebėtas tendencijas. Funkcinį solidarumą veikia suaugusio vaiko amžius, šeiminė padėtis, profesija ir finansinė padėtis, taip pat tėvų statusas – ar jie yra senatvės pensininkai, ar ne. Reikšmingą poveikį kartų funkciniam solidarumui atlieka tėvų sveikatos būklė. Mažiau svarbi yra vaiko lytis, išskyrus finansinės paramos sritį.

Serbian clubs in Vienna are cultural-artistic and sports organizations derived from former Yugoslav clubs founded by Yugoslav guest workers in the 1970s. Initially, clubs expressed their affiliation with the homeland through their work, guided by the ideology of brotherhood and unity and expressing the Yugoslav identity. The disintegration of Yugoslavia and conflicting national ideologies in the home country strongly affected clubs in the diaspora. As a result, clubs were divided according to a national-ethnic basis. Since the 1990s, the clubs in Vienna have been turning to the presentation of national identity and national programs, which is especially evident in the work of folklore sections. This paper aims to present and analyze one aspect of the activities of Serbian clubs in Vienna – the choreographing process, which I will interpret within the system of commodifying practices. I start from the hypothesis that, precisely because of national ideology and strongly present nostalgia among Serbian migrants in Vienna, amateur choreographers from Serbia manage to retain the “market” for their choreographies, presenting them as “authentic” products that “preserve the tradition” of the mother country. The work is divided into two larger units: 1) an ethnographic presentation of the choreographing process and questions of its authenticity; 2) an analysis of the process of commodification of dance and choreography.

As a result of the intensification of immigration, European policy has evolved in recent years, the field being an open one. The main purpose of the article is to highlight the essential aspects of immigration at European Union level in accordance with the principle of solidarity. Immigration management is a central activity of sovereign states. As in the European Union, the supranational level has contributed to the application of the principle of solidarity. The European Union is at a turning point. The directions adopted at European regional level require an analysis, at the heart of which is the principle of solidarity.Despite the contradictions at the level of the European Union regarding the management of the process of mobility of people, the political agenda develops clear directions, and the official political vision is to encourage the phenomenon of legal migration and discourage illegal migration. The Common Immigration Policy pursues several objectives, that of managing migration flows, treating third-country nationals in an equitable manner, and preventing and combating illegal immigration and trafficking in human beings. Solidarity is a key word in the management of immigration, as all the European Union's objectives in this area require a shared responsibility of all Member States. Thus, cooperation between states is vital. Without cooperation and solidarity the joint project will face difficulties and cannot be implemented effectively. Firmness and solidarity, as well as shared responsibility, are the key words for European policy on managing migration in the European Union.

Pornind de la definiţia de dicţionar a genealogiei: " ştiinţă specială a istoriei, care studiază naşterea şi evoluţia neamurilor şi a familiilor, înrudirile care se stabilesc între persoanele unei epoci date, precum şi rolul pe care aceste înrudiri îl joacă în desfăşurarea unor evenimente istorice ", remarcăm faptul că " în egală măsură şi uneori chiar mai mult, cercetarea genealogică poate contribui în mod hotărâtor la înţelegerea mai exactă sau mai detaliată a unor procese de medie sau lungă durată, de natură socială, economică, juridică, religioasă, culturală şi morală ". Mai mult, "genealogia a devenit o disciplină ştiinţifică, ale cărei foloase, mai ales pentru istoria socială, dar şi pentru cea politică şi culturală, sunt b . 1 "su stanţza e . Cazul " ceangăilor " care fac obiectul acestui articol este revelator pentru nevoia unei atare abordări, care ar aduce astfel necesare limpeziri privind, de exemplu, controversele legate de origine şi provenienţă, identitate şi impact în societatea românească, implicaţii internaţionale, prin interesul manifestat asupra lor de către puterile europene de odinioară ori de astăzi. De altfel, prin intermediul acestui material ne propunem să insistăm asupra câtorva aspecte privind " miza " cercetării din punct de vedere genealogie a locuitorilor romana-catolici din Moldova denumiţi impropriu "ceangăi ". Şi aceasta, cu atât mai mult cu cât am constatat în ultimii ani un interes constant faţă de " ceangăi " atât în ţară cât şi dincolo de graniţele României, ei intrând în atenţia chiar a instituţiilor europene. Din păcate, urmărind evoluţia acestui interes am putut remarca o gravă necunoaştere a realităţii concrete, termenul " ceangău " (nu întâmplător pus între ghilimele) fiind folosit în mod nejustificat, ca etnonim, la adresa catolicilor din Moldova, încadraţi astfel, pe nedrept, în categoria unei minorităţi etnice. lată cum, cercetarea din perspectivă genealogică a " ceangăilor " se impune, înlăturând astfel o serie de incertitudini în planul cunoaşterii devenirii istorice a acestor locuitori catolici ai Moldovei, cu impact nu doar asupra istoriei spaţiului românesc ci şi a celui european. În noile condiţii determinate de apartenenţa României la spaţiul comun european, marcate de promovarea ideii atât de dragi dar şi atât de necesare a unităţii în diversitate, am considerat important acest demers genealogie vizându-i pe "ceangăii " trăitori în spaţiul românesc (un exemplu al efectelor diversităţii culturale europene), a căror istorie trece însă dincolo de frontierele României, încadrându-se în mod firesc istoriei Europei.
