УЛОГА НАСТАВНИКА И ОБРАЗОВНО-ВАСПИТНИХ УСТАНОВА У ПРЕВЕНЦИЈИ ВРШЊАЧКОГ НАСИЉА

Author(s): Miloš Mitrović / Language(s): Bosnian,Serbian / Issue: 3/2018

There is almost no person, who did not experience in their childhood some kind of violence in the interaction with their peers. Those people, with the every new case of peer violence, which comes into public, experience again negative experiences, which they experienced in their childhood. Therefore, a huge interest of scientific and wider public in the problem of peer violence and questions regarding its prevention is not a wonder.The role of a teacher in the prevention of such violence is essential; however, one gets impression that he is a figure, who is not extremely interested in that, and therefore, it is no wonder that a lot of children do not seek teacher’s help, nor do they expect that he will offer help. This statement has been analyzed in the work through the understanding of a wider social context of peer violence, which is shown mainly in the disparity between the system of values, which is promoted at school by teachers, and the system of values, which generally prevails in the society. Special attention has been paid to a certain number of mechanisms – preventive and intervening, which are at disposal for teachers and educational institutions in the context of stopping peer violence. According to the study, conceptualized in such a way, we came to the conclusion that educational institutions and, first of all, teachers can be successful in the prevention of peer violence if they build an adequate relationship with their students and show their willingness to help. However, even on that condition, the effect of measures, which they would undertake, would be of limited reach, if it does not come to the change of social ambience, in which the students grow up, and which has marginalized the function of educational institutions to a great extent in the previous decades.

Улога норми у процесу хоминизације

Author(s): Saša Bovan / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1-4/2001

This work is basically aimed at analyzing the origins of normativity and the role of norm in the process of hominization (evolution of man). The hypothesis, which is the basis of this research, includes the assertion that normativity is the most significant feature of man's generic essence, a feature that enabled the survival of man as a species, the emergence of man as a being of different kind, as well as the emergence and functioning of the human society. Lastly, it is an attempt to prove that the transformation of man from a biological into a psychic and social being happens as a transfer from biological into normative, and an attempt to identify biological (organic) roots of social norms, as well as to establish a natural and understandable relationship between the biological and the cultural evolution of man. 'Open programmes of behaviour' are a key notion, or a phenomenon which enables this hypothesis to be checked, because they played the role of evolutionary mechanism in the process of the evolution of the human species, due to which the evolution of man in its modern sense happened after all. Favouring open programmes of behaviour of man is a result of strong evolutionary pressures, both from outside and inside (climate, anatomic and psychological non-specialization, i.e. man's handicaps), due to which there has been no biological time for the species to change in a standard way, i.e. through selection and mutation. For the homo species, normativity thus became a matrix of life: this was a way which enabled the survival of man as a species and the emergence of man as a being of different kind. Norms have played a key role in the process of hominization and they represent the most important feature of man's generic essence.

УЛОГА ПОРОДИЧНОГ ЗАКОНОДАВСТВА У ЗАШТИТИ ПОРОДИЦЕ

Author(s): Predrag Janković / Language(s): Bosnian,Serbian / Issue: 5/2020

The family is the basic cell of society, which enables normal civilization reproduction of the population, education and formation of members of society from their birth. As such, it must be protected by the state, which implements it through family lеgislation. The family is a complex unit, very important for the community, in which many relationships are intertwined, from the foundation of the family, ie. marriage or domestic partnership, then relations between spouses, relations between parents and children, and relations of family members with some institutions in certain cases. Family legislation creates a legal framework for the functioning of these relationships, thereby contributing to the best possible functioning of these relationships. In addition to regulating family relationships of a procedural nature, the state provides certain laws with protection for children and protection against domestic violence, thereby imposing frameworks on the behavior of family members with a view to its normal functioning, ie. sanctioning behaviors and practices that could impair the purpose of the family and lead to unwanted and harmful occurrences. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the extent to which family legislation can respond to the challenges of modern families and affect their protection.

Умрежени мобинг у високошколским институцијама и његове последице на ширу академску заједницу у Србији

Author(s): Biljana Maluckov / Language(s): English,Serbian / Issue: 3/2018

The phenomenon that several people abuse one person both vertically and horizontally – a networked mobbing in the academic community, is a growing phenomenon in Serbia as a consequence of a difficult economic situation and a falling morale of the entire society. A networked mobbing is much more perfidious and much more severe than mobbing performed by one person. Mobbing has a negative impact on the victim’s quality of life and his/her family and can be lethal to the victim. The consequence of networked mobbing to the wider academic community is a negative selection of personnel, starting from the lowest level of the hierarchical scale of academic ranks, characterized by opportunistic-conformist behavior and a lack of integrity, and the final outcome of such selection is that professors do not voice out on the occasion of diploma purchases and plagiarism done by politicians. The paper presents proposals for combating the negative selection of personnel caused by mobbing.

Университетски практики за създаване на студентски подкаст

Author(s): Stela Angova,Ivan Valchanov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 8/2020

The study aims to identify university practices for creating a student podcast. The hypothesis is that there is a paradigm shift, but not a rejection, regarding the first steps of students in journalism and they rather attempt producing podcasts than creating a newspaper. The knowledge for creating print media products is upgraded through all media elements and digital communication strategies. This results in a real multimedia practice consisting of generating ideas, teamwork, script writing, editing, recording, publishing in online platforms and social media promotion. Empirical material has been collected from American, Australian, Western European, and Bulgarian universities. The case studies seek to discover the reasons for the increased interest in podcasts as a modern audio format. The study aims to outline the main characteristics of a successful student podcast and to examine the tendencies for production and listening to podcasts among the younger audience.

УОКВИРАВАЊЕ ПОРОДИЦЕ У ОНЛАЈН МЕДИЈИМА У СРБИЈИ

Author(s): Predrag Đ. Bajić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 5/2020

The family was and remains one of the fundamental human institutions, regardless of all the changes. It is the same in our region, where it is one of the key segments of society. The focus of this paper is on the ways in which the family appears in the contents of online media in Serbia. Information published on Web portals can reach a significantly larger number of people than traditional media, and quantity is often ahead of quality on the most visited Web portals. The only goal is to get as many visits as possible, as many “clicks” as possible, by constantly publishing new or recycled content. The dominance of tabloids on the Serbian media market and their constant need for high numbers devastated the elementary criteria of the journalistic profession, which is also visible in the content analyzed in this paper. In the headlines of the analyzed online media, the word “family” is often used when the stories are negative, when talking about conflicts, tragedies, The COVID 19 pandemic, etc. This is not strange when it is known that tabloid discourse is dominant, in the way it is used in the media in Serbia - and with a clear indication that in the media in Serbia also existing some other portals, that do not subordinate professional and ethical criteria to the number of “clicks”.

Употребата Батак, или въпроси без право на отговор

Author(s): Bozhin Traykov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 50/II/2019

This article looks at the scandal around the so called Мyth of Batak as a case of political mobilization of „scientific“ and popular discourses in relation to a historical event. The polemic started in April, 2007, when the scholars Martina Baleva and Ulf Brunbauer were accused of questioning official historical accounts which led to public outcry, attempts to change legislation concerning freedom of speech and even threats for physical harm. The scandal involved a variety of actors - the media, nationalist political parties, public intellectuals and scholars, as well as key figures in the Bulgarian government. Since 1989 a number of projects in the humanities and social sciences explored the formation and construction of Bulgarian national myths and stereotypes, but none of them had led to such a violent public confrontation as in the case of Batak. Why then the Myth of Batak caused such a fierce outburst? Baleva and Brunbauer shook in uncertainty one of the most stable historical narratives surrounding the nation building in Bulgaria - the Batak massacre. I analyze the controversy in the context of emerging material and discursive practices of reactive nationalism and Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union. The article is a contribution to the understanding of larger political and cultural implications in the mobilizing of national myths and their relation to contiguous power in intellectual and political circles.

Author(s): Teodor Spasov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2017

The article presents results obtained through a study on Bulgarian media during the presidential election in 2016. Use of hate speech is evident, which is incompatible with the mission of journalism. But it is namely the hate speech that replaced the sensible and expert talk in media. Media continue giving voice of individuals who use populism for their political programmes. Refugees and terrorists are discussed in a general way. No clear difference is made when using the terms 'refugee' and 'migrant'. People, who seek to save their lives elsewhere, are demonized.

Finally, this research will try to propose concrete measures to be taken both within the penitentiary system and as crime prevention efforts among drug users.

Управление на енергийния сектор и енергийна (не)сигурност в България

Author(s): Ruslan Stefanov,Todor Galev,Martin Tsanov,Martin Vladimirov,Nadejda Gantcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 2014

This report explores the major governance deficiencies in the Bulgarian energy policy regarding the strategic, institutional, and legal framework of the sector. The report focuses on state capture of energy policy by private political and economic interests that led to bad management practices in the sector, to lack of consistency in the legal and regulatory framework, to deteriorating investment environment, and to the involvement of the country in infrastructure projects that undermine the national long-term strategy and policy priorities. This has affected negatively the Bulgarian taxpayers and consumers, has jeopardized the financial stability of the state-owned energy companies, and, ultimately, has reduced the energy security of the country. The report recommends that the implementation of the country’s energy policy should be reconsidered and should be based on EU priorities and on sound cost-benefit analyses with regard to Bulgaria’s energy security.

Author(s): Elisaveta Petrova-Geretto,Zlatitsa Petrova,Galinka Pavlova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2019

The development model of Bulgarian health system particularly over the last decade can be characterized by population decrease, reduced number of working age population, steep reduction of physicians and medical specialists while the number of health establishments, especially hospitals and hospital beds are increasing, patient numbers are increasing, financial means, dedicated to health are increasing annually and sick leave days are also increasing. The changed populations structure and demographic tendencies have strong impact on economic, health, social and educational system in Bulgarian society. Research goal and objectives are to study social risks, which have the highest influence on municipal health system and human resources. Material and methods: Units of research are physicians and medical specialists in 10 municipal hospitals. Participating hospitals were chosen on the principle of regional representation and size of municipality. Valid questionnaires were received from: 112- Management and 183- Physicians and Nurses. Results and Discussion: The survey result analysis suggests that there are the following tendencies: It is essential that healthcare is seen as a service, managed by market principles with social elements and not vice-versa. A serious challenge is the remuneration system used in hospitals- in order to be successful, the system should be correlated to results and justice as adopted by hospital staff. The negative impact of increased mobility of health staff is reflected by reduced opportunities for developing in-depth competencies and career growth.
