In addition to this, we defined generalized strongly -Ces\`{a}ro summability () of a locally integrable function at and at a point . Using these definitions we present some basic results
SUKOBLJENE STVARNOSTI: ŠICOVSKI DODATAK TEORETIZOVANJU SIMBOLIČKE BORBE OKO PRIČEŠĆA U SRBIJI TOKOM KOVID-A
No full textThis paper aims to analyse and interpret the heated public debate prompted by the organization of communion during the pandemic. Performing this ritual during the lockdown, enacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, spawned intensive and highly polarised public reactions. The emerging debates vividly portrayed the symbolic struggles or culture wars pertinent to the Serbian society. Bourdieu’s theory of classification struggles and Lamont’s conceptualization of symbolic boundaries provided the framework for an earlier consideration of these disputes (Jovanović 2022). This article attempts a theoretical recasting. Taking cues from Schütz’s essay “Equality and the meaning structure of the social world” regarding “the ways of life of a group as seen by in-group and out-group”, a portrayal of socially approved typifications organized in domains of relevances of the aforementioned conflicted groups will be made. This will in turn provide insights into “relative natural worldview” (relativ natürliche Weltanschauung) of the conflicted groups: the means by which they define its situation within the social cosmos, with this definition(s) becoming an integral element of the situation itself. Pronounced hostility between the “defenders” and the “disputers” of communion during COVID can be understood relying on Schütz’s discussion of the out-group’s interpretation of the world taken for granted by the in-group.Ovaj rad je posvećen analizi i tumačenju žučne javne debate izazvane organizovanjem pričešća tokom pandemije. Izvođenje ovog rituala tokom važenja mera izolacije, donetih zbog pandemije COVID-19 2020. godine, izazvalo je intenzivne i veoma polarizovane reakcije javnosti. Debate su živopisno oslikavale simboličke borbe ili kulturne ratove karakteristične za društvo u Srbiji. Burdijeova teorija sukoba oko klasifikacije i razmatranje simboličkih granica Mišel Lamon dali su okvir za ranije razmatranje ovih sporova (Jovanović 2022). U ovom članku biće učinjen pokušaj teorijskog preoblikovanja. Uzimajući u obzir navode iz Šicovog ogleda „Jednakost i značenjska struktura društvenog sveta” o „načinu života grupe kako ga vide oni unutar- i oni van-grupe”, biće napravljen prikaz društveno potvrđenih tipizacija organizovanih kroz sisteme relevantnosti pomenutih konfliktnih grupa. Ovo će zauzvrat pružiti uvid u „relativni prirodni pogled na svet” (relativ natürliche Weltanschauung) konfliktnih grupa: načine na koje one definišu situaciju u društvenom kosmosu, pri čemu ove definicije postaju integralni element same situacije. Izraženo neprijateljstvo između „branilaca” i „osporivača” pričešća tokom COVID-a može se razumeti uz oslanjanje na Šicovu diskusiju o tumačenju sveta onih van-grupe koji se uzima zdravo za gotovo od strane pripadnika unutar-grupe
GLOBALNI RELATIVIZAM I PROBLEM SAMOPOBIJANJA
No full textThe main task of this paper is to present and examine the self-refuting position of global relativism in epistemology. We start from the earliest formulation of relativistic teaching that belongs to the ancient philosopher Protagoras. Even in antiquity, the self-refuting viewpoint of global relativism was observed. The position of global relativism is difficult to defend because universality requires that the very claim that expresses relativism be included in the general relativization. In the paper, we consider the notions of pluralism of truth and perspectivism. In the end, we conclude that the self-contradictory position of global relativism can be removed only if relativistic teaching is set up as a meta-theory in which the object level and the meta level are distinguished. Osnovni zadatak u ovom radu je da se predstavi i ispita samopobijajuća pozicija globalnog relativizma u epistemologiji. Polazimo od najranije formulacije relativističkog učenja koja pripada antičkom filozofu Protagori. Još u antici je uočeno samopobijajuće stanovište globalnog relativizma. Stav globalnog relativizma je teško braniti jer univerzalnost zahteva da se u opštu relativizaciju uključi i sama tvrdnja koja izražava relativizam. U radu ukazujemo na pojmove pluralizma istine i perspektivizma. Na kraju zaključujemo da se samopobijajuća pozicija globalnog relativizma može otkloniti samo ako se relativističko učenje postavi kao meta-teorija u kojoj razlikujemo objekt nivo i meta nivo

“I SWEAR THIS SUMMER WILL BE SUMMER CAMP”: LETNJI KAMP I SUKOBLJENE AFROAMERIČKE PREDSTAVE MUŠKOSTI U ALBUMU CAMP (CHILDISH GAMBINO)
No full textSummer camp is seen as an integral part of American adolescence and a cornerstone of American popular culture; yet, among the millions of individuals who have attended and/or worked at summer camps, statistics show that attendees and employees are predominantly white, female, and middle to upper-class. This backdrop helps bring into focus Childish Gambino’s 2011 Camp, a concept album centered around experiencing summer camp as an adolescent. At the end of the album’s closing track, Gambino shares the project’s thesis statement: “I wish I could say this was a story about how I got on the bus a boy/And got off a man more cynical, hardened, and mature and shit/But that's not true…” Throughout the album, Gambino presents himself as a contradiction. He is too Black to be white, but too white to be Black. He craves a genuine, romantic connection, yet he is content to bask in the admiration of his female followers. He wants to grow up and “get out,” but he feels stuck in boyhood. Through a close reading of the album’s lyrics and instrumentation, this article will analyze tensions between Black and white identities and conflicting conceptions of masculinity. Letnji kamp se smatra sastavnim delom američke adolescencije i ključnim elementom američke popularne kulture; ipak, među milionima pojedinaca koji su pohađali i/ili radili u letnjim kampovima, statistika pokazuje da su posetioci i zaposleni pretežno belci, žene i pripadnici srednje i/ili više klase. Ova pozadina pomaže da se razume Camp (Childish Gambino, 2011), konceptualni album koji tematizuje iskustvo jednog afroameričkog adolescenta u letnjem kampu. Na kraju završne numere albuma, Gambino sažima njegovo iskustvo boravka u kampu: „ I wish I could say this was a story about how I got on the bus a boy/And got off a man more cynical, hardened, and mature and shit/But that's not true…“Kroz ceo album pratimo Gambinovu unutrašnju podeljenost na više nivoa. Previše je crn da bi bio belac, ali previše beo da bi bio crnac. Žudi za istinskom, romantičnom vezom, ali mu prija površna pažnja njegovih ženskih obožavateljki. Želi da odraste i da „get out“, ali se oseća zaglavljenim u dečaštvu. Kroz pažljivo proučavanje stihova i instrumentalne pratnje albuma, ovaj članak će analizirati tenzije između afroameričkog i belog identiteta, kao i sukobljene predstave o muškosti
DRUŠTVENA I KULTURNA REŠENJA ZA REINTEGRACIJU JAVNIH OTVORENIH PROSTORA U VIŠEPORODIČNIM STAMBENIM SUSEDSTVIMA: TEORIJSKI OKVIR I PRIMERI DOBRE PRAKSE
No full textThis paper explores social and cultural solutions (SCS) for reclaiming public open spaces (POS) in multi-family neighborhoods, acknowledging their essential role in social, cultural, and economic development often underrealized. The research aims to identify SCS characteristics and diverse applications, while defining effective institutional, planning, and design approaches for successful POS (re)integration. Drawing on theoretical frameworks and strategic documents, alongside an analysis of best practice examples like Drewitz, Taasinge Plads, Gorica and Augustenborg, the study demonstrates how SCS enhance residential satisfaction, neighborhood perception, socio-economic status, and social inclusion. It underscores that robust resident participation is critical for initial acceptance and sustained management of POS. Furthermore, the study reveals that synergistically combining SCS with ecologically-based approaches (e.g., Nature-based Solutions, Sustainable Drainage Systems) significantly broadens these benefits, contributing to enhanced climate and social resilience, and overall sustainable urban development. This research offers actionable guidelines for practitioners to design more responsive and livable multi-family housing environments.Ovaj rad istražuje društvena i kulturna rešenja (SKR) za reintegraciju javnih otvorenih prostora (JOP) u višeporodičnim naseljima, ukazujući na njihovu suštinsku ulogu u društvenom, kulturnom i ekonomskom razvoju, koja se često nedovoljno shvata. Cilj istraživanja je da identifikuje karakteristike SKR i različite primene, istovremeno definišući efikasne institucionalne, planske i dizajnerske pristupe za uspešnu (re)integraciju SKR. Oslanjajući se na teorijske okvire i strateške dokumente, uz analizu primera dobre prakse poput Drevica, Tasinge Plasa, Gorice i Augustenborga, ovo istraživanje pokazuje kako SKR mogu da doprinesu poboljšanju zadovoljstva stanara stanombenom sredinom, percepcije susedstva, socio-ekonomskog statusa i socijalne inkluzije. Naglašava se da je snažno učešće stanovnika ključno za početno prihvatanje i održivo upravljanje SKR-ima. Dodatno rad otkriva da sinergijsko kombinovanje SKR sa ekološki zasnovanim pristupima (npr. rešenja zasnovana na prirodi, održivi sistemi za odvodnjavanje) značajno proširuje ove benefite, doprinoseći poboljšanju klimatske i društvene otpornosti i ukupnom održivom urbanom razvoju. Ovo istraživanje nudi praktične smernice za stručnjake da dizajniraju odgovornija i životno prihvatljivija okruženja sa višeporodičnim stanovanjem
EVALUACIJA STOPA DEGRADACIJE ŽELEZNIČKOG KOLOSEKA NA OSNOVU TRENDOVA TQI: STUDIJA SLUČAJA DEONICE KOLAŠIN–PODGORICA
No full textUnderstanding the rate of track degradation is essential for effective railway infrastructure management, particularly in mountainous and geotechnically unstable regions. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the track geometry degradation on the Kolašin–Podgorica railway section in Montenegro, using the Track Quality Index (TQI) as the primary indicator. TQI values from three consecutive inspection periods (2017–2019, 2019–2022, and 2022–2024) were analyzed to compute degradation rates (ΔTQI) across all track segments. The results were visualized through spatially distributed line graphs, enabling the identification of segments with progressive geometric deterioration.The analysis reveals a recurring pattern: several sections demonstrate improvement following tamping interventions, yet degrade again within a short period, indicating deeper structural or geotechnical issues. Particular attention is given to sections located on bridges, in tunnels, and near stations—areas associated with increased dynamic loads and limited substructure resilience. An overlay of maintenance data and structural object locations further strengthens the causal interpretation.The findings support the prioritization of high-risk segments for targeted interventions beyond routine maintenance. This degradation-based evaluation framework contributes to data-driven decision-making for long-term railway asset management, combining infrastructure condition assessment with spatial engineering analytics.Razumevanje brzine degradacije koloseka je od suštinskog značaja za efikasno upravljanje železničkom infrastrukturom, posebno u planinskim i geotehnički nestabilnim područjima. U ovom radu predstavljena je sveobuhvatna analiza degradacije geometrije koloseka na deonici Kolašin–Podgorica u Crnoj Gori, koristeći Indeks kvaliteta koloseka (TQI) kao primarni pokazatelj. Vrednosti TQI izmerene u tri uzastopna perioda inspekcije (2017–2019, 2019–2022 i 2022–2024) analizirane su za izračunavanje stopa degradacije (ΔTQI) duž svih sekcija pruge. Rezultati su vizualizovani prostorno distribuiranim grafikom, omogućavajući identifikaciju delova pruge sa progresivnim geometrijskim narušavanjem.Analiza otkriva ponavljajući obrazac: nekoliko sekcija pokazuje poboljšanje nakon intervencija podbivanja, ali se u kratkom roku ponovo javlja degradacija, što ukazuje na dublje strukturne ili geotehničke probleme. Posebna pažnja posvećena je sekcijama smeštenim na mostovima, u tunelima i u blizini stanica — područjima povezanim sa pojačanim dinamičkim opterećenjima i ograničenom otpornošću potkrovnog stroja. Preklapanje podataka o održavanju i lokacijama objekata još više ojačava uzročnu interpretaciju.Dobijeni nalazi podržavaju prioritizaciju visokorizičnih sekcija za ciljane intervencije koje prevazilaze redovno održavanje. Ovaj okvir za procenu zasnovan na degradaciji doprinosi donošenju odluka zasnovanih na podacima za dugoročno upravljanje železničkom imovinom, kombinujući procenu stanja infrastrukture sa prostornom inženjerskom analizom
POTENCIJALNI DOPRINOS EKOLOŠKOG RAČUNOVODSTVA SAVREMENOM PČELARSTVU KAO DELU AGRARNOG SEKTORA
No full textDefining a business strategy to ensure compliance with economic and environmental principles should contribute to long-term economic and environmental goals, while the introduction of environmental accounting into a company will bring a better connection between the company’s strategy and the environment. This paper deals with the potential contribution of environmental accounting to modern beekeeping as a part of the agricultural sector and considers the comprehensive approach of environmental accounting to company operations and the enormous impact of beekeeping on agricultural production. We also highlight the temporal indefiniteness of environmental costs, which are viewed as future (potential) costs. We see that the impact of the agricultural sector on the quality of natural capital can be both positive and negative. We also focus on a more detailed examination of the impact of the agricultural sector on habitats and natural species.Definisanje poslovne strategije koja će obezbediti poštovanje ekonomskih i ekoloških principa treba da doprinese dugoročnom ostvarivanju ciljeva ekonomske i ekološke prirode, a uvođenje ekološkog računovodstva u preduzeće uticaće na bolje povezivanje strategije preduzeća i životne sredine. U radu ćemo se baviti potencijalnim doprinosima ekološkog računovodstva savremenom pčelarstvu kao delu agrarnog sektora kroz sagledavanje sveobuhvatnog pristupa ekološkog računovodstva poslovanju preduzeća i ogromnog uticaja pčelarstva na agrarnu proizvodnju. Takođe, istaknućemo vremensku neodređenost pojave ekoloških troškova koji se posmatraju kao budući (nepredviđeni ili potencijalni) troškovi. Videćemo da uticaj agrarnog sektora na kvalitet prirodnog kapitala može biti pozitivan i negativan, pri čemu ćemo se zadržati na detaljnijem sagledavanju uticaja agrosektora na životna staništa i prirodne vrste
ODGOVORI INVESTITORA NA OBELODANJIVANJE KLJUČNIH REVIZIJSKIH PITANJA: PREGLED LITERATURE
No full textThe aim of this paper is to examine, through a descriptive analysis of selected empirical studies, whether the disclosure of Key Audit Matters (KAMs) has been a contributing factor to the enhanced communicative and informational value of the auditor’s report. Despite the expectation that highlighting issues which, in the auditor’s professional judgment, were of the greatest significance for the audit process would have a positive effect on investors’ reactions, existing studies point to inconsistent findings. A number of studies show that KAMs may increase users’ confidence in financial statements, reduce information risk and improve the efficiency of capital markets. Conversely, other studies do not confirm significant investors’ reactions, thereby questioning the assumption that the new auditor’s report model in practice brings a higher level of transparency and informational value compared to the previous period. The observed differences in findings can be associated both with varying methodological approaches and with the specific characteristics of national economies, including the level of economic development, institutional frameworks and the quality of financial reporting and auditing. The obtained findings are relevant for regulators, investors as well as the academic and professional community, and indicate the need for further research into KAMs management mechanisms for a more comprehensive assessment of the effects of regulatory changes in the field of auditor reporting.Cilj ovog rada је da se deskriptivnom analizom rezultata odabranih empirijskih istraživanja ispita da li je obelodanjivanje ključnih revizijskih pitanja doprinelo povećanju komunikacione i informacione vrednosti revizorskog izveštaja. Uprkos očekivanju da izdvajanje pitanja koja su, prema profesionalnom prosuđivanju revizora, bila od najvećeg značaja za proces revizije ima pozitivan uticaj na reakcije investitora, dosadašnja istraživanja pružaju nekonzistentne nalaze. Određeni broj studija pokazuje da ključna revizijska pitanja mogu povećati poverenje korisnika u finansijske izveštaje, smanjiti informacioni rizik i unaprediti efikasnost funkcionisanja tržišta kapitala. Nasuprot tome, druga istraživanja ne potvrđuju značajne reakcije investitora, što dovodi u pitanje pretpostavku da novi model revizorskog izveštaja u praksi donosi viši nivo transparentnosti i informacione vrednosti u odnosu na raniji period. Razlike u nalazima mogu se povezati kako sa različitim metodološkim pristupima, tako i sa specifičnosima nacionalnih ekonomija, uključujući stepen razvijenosti privrede, institucionalni okvir i kvalitet finansijskog izveštavanja i revizije. Dobijeni nalazi relevantni su za regulatore, investitore, kao i akademsku i stručnu javnost, i ukazuju na potrebu za daljim istraživanjima mehanizama upravljanja ključnim revizijskim pitanjima, radi sveobuhvatnije procene efekata regulatornih promena u oblasti revizorskog izveštavanja
