Ka promeni javnih politika - preporuke proistekle iz projekta EPICA – Empowering Participation in Culture and Architecture
No full textIstraživanje je ukazalo na nedostatke u proučavanju kako teorija
tako i praksi koje se odnose na uključivanje participacije građana u procese
društvenog odlučivanja, posebno kada je reč o potrebama lokalnih
zajednica i društvenih grupa koje često nisu ni prepoznate odgovarajućim
zakonima. Stoga je jedan od glavnih ishoda ovog istraživanja ukazivanje na
potrebu za povećanim stepenom proučavanja, praćenja, razvoja, promocije
i implementacije participativnih praksi u raznim domenima javnih politika
(urbani i kulturni razvoj, zdravstvene, obrazovne i ekološke politike, te
politike ekonomskog razvoja itd.).
Da bi se to omogućilo, očita je potreba za prostorima koji će omogućiti
neposredno učešće građana, kako na sopstvenu inicijativu (neformalne
grupe građana) tako i na inicijativu odgovarajućih organa javne uprave,
ali i nevladinih organizacija, ustanova kulture, obrazovnih ustanova itd. Ti
javni prostori, i u sredinama u kojima su nekada postojali, poput mesnih
zajednica, domova kulture, domova društvenih organizacija itd., odavno
su ili privatizovani ili podržavljeni sa promenjenom namenom, te se u njima
odavno više ne mogu održavati čak ni skupovi onih organizacija građana
koje su nekada imale status društvenih organizacija (Savez izviđača,
Udruženja prijatelja dece, kulturno-umetnička društva...), a potpuno je
isključeno davanje prostora bez naknade udruženjima građana koja se
često prepoznaju kao neprijatelji sistema, posebno kada je reč o ekološkim
organizacijama ili organizacijama koje se bave urbanim razvojem. Stoga je
pitanje obnove javnih prostora namenjenih slobodnom učešću organizacija
civilnog društva jedno od preduslova za obezbeđivanje participacije
građana u društvenom, kulturnom i političkom životu
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE SERVICE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE: ENHANCING PROTECTION AND MUSEUM INFORMATION SYSTEMS
No full textThe application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the cultural heritage
sector offers transformative opportunities for the protection, preservation,
and accessibility of historical and artistic assets. As institutions
face increasing challenges related to conservation, digitization, and
public engagement, AI technologies provide new solutions that extend
beyond traditional practices. This paper explores the role of AI
in supporting cultural heritage, with a particular focus on two core
areas: (1) the protection and documentation of tangible and intangible
heritage, and (2) the development and maintenance of advanced
information systems in museums.
AI tools are already being implemented to detect deterioration in historical
artefacts, predict structural damage in heritage buildings, and
monitor environmental risks. Machine learning algorithms can assist
in identifying at-risk sites through satellite imagery, while computer
vision helps analysing damage patterns or reconstructing missing pieces
of ancient objects. Simultaneously, AI-driven systems are reshaping
how museums catalogue, interpret, and disseminate knowledge. By
automating metadata generation, natural language processing, and
object recognition, museums can more efficiently manage their collections
and offer enriched user experiences through chatbots, virtual
assistants, and personalized digital tours.
This paper also addresses the social aspects and ethical implications of
applying AI in cultural institutions. While AI contributes to the democratization
of access to heritage, it raises critical concerns about data
ownership, authenticity, and the representation of diverse narratives.
Through interdisciplinary case studies and analysis of ongoing projects,
we evaluate best practices and provide recommendations for the responsible
integration of AI in the cultural heritage sector. The aim is to
highlight how technology, when aligned with human-centreed values
and professional standards, can foster resilience, sustainability, and
innovation in the protection of cultural heritage
Еkološke i zdravstvene posledice oružanih sukoba – uticaj na životnu sredinu i zdravlje ljudi
No full textОружани сукоби имају дубоко укорењен негативан утицај на жи-
вотну средину и здравље људи, чије последице трају и деценијама након
завршетка сукоба. Ратови не само да узрокују директну физичку штету
како људима тако и на инфраструктурним објектима, већ изазивају и
дугорочне еколошке и здравствене проблеме. Оружани сукоби утичу на
природну средину, пољопривредну производњу, водне ресурсе и биоди-
верзитет, као и на људско здравље кроз различите механизме – загађење,
зрачење, болести и менталне поремећаје. Еколошке последице ратова
обухватају уништавање екосистема, загађење тла, ваздуха и вода, као
и употребу оружја које оставља дугорочне еколошке трагове. Употреба
мина, хемијског оружја, напалм бомби и других оружја за масовно уни-
штење, као што су биолошко и нуклеарно оружје, озбиљно угрожаваганизације, као и локалне заједнице, у циљу што брже рехабилитације погођених подручја.
Традиционална правила међународног хумани- тарног права нису довољна да би заштитила
животну средину јер су креирана у потпуно другачијем амбијенту и била су усмерена да зашти- те
суверена права држава или њихове имовинске захтеве. Велики број правила односи се на заштиту лица у
оружаним сукобима и углавном се ради о правилима која су примењива на међународне оружане сукобе,
али када се ради о потреби заштите животне средине у оружаним суко- бима уопште није од значаја о
којој врсти сукоба се ради
NA PUTU KA PROFESIJI Sociološki modeli i sektor informacionih tehnologija u Srbiji
Full text linkTehnološki napredak, globalizacija i fleksibilizacija tržišta rada, kao suštinske promene, stvaraju potrebu za novim zanimanjima i za modifikovanjem tradicionalnih profesija. Ipak, nije postignuta saglasnost oko toga da li savremeno doba odlikuje sveobuhvatna profesionalizacija zanimanja (The Professionalization of Everyone?)1 ili, pak, deprofesionalizacija postojećih profesija (The Deprofessionalization of Everyone?).2 Verovatnije je da su oba procesa podjednako relevantna i zastupljena. Zagovornici ideje o sveopštoj profesionalizaciji ukazuju na njen rastući značaj, iako će u tom procesu samo mali broj zanimanja dostići nivo etabliranih profesija. Nasuprot tome, svedoci deprofesionalizacije fokusiraju se na opadanje standarda i promene u karakteristikama (pre svega, tradicionalnih) profesija. Za koji god od navedenih procesa da se istraživač opredeli, potrebno je uzeti u obzir ove suštinske promene koje oblikuju savremenu sferu rada.
Ova knjiga predstavlja sociološku studiju profesionalizacije novih zanimanja, istovremeno analizirajući promene u sferi rada i društva u celini. Procesi profesionalizacije predstavljaju odraz kompleksnih promena koje se dešavaju u radnom okruženju, a te promene su, složićete se, brojne i dinamične. Kao rezultat, profesionalizacija postaje sve složenija i teža za praćenje. Pri analizi ovih promena pomaže nam disciplina kao što je sociologija zanimanja i profesija. Pogotovo u današnjem vremenu, kada automatizacija i veštačka inteligencija prete da zamene mnoge poslove, ova disciplina igra ključnu ulogu
International Criminal Tribunals as Triggers of Institutional Change? Evidence from Ad Hoc Tribunals and the ICC’s Referral and Proprio Motu Cases
No full textThe current article examines whether international criminal tribunals (ict) can be regarded as actors of international relations, which trigger domestic policy changes in countries under their jurisdiction. Drawing on the concepts of ‘third party enforcement’ and ‘credible commitment’ theory, the study examines ict cases during which an ict carried out investigations and prosecutions against the will of the respective sitting government. Based on field research from seven states and three tribunals, the authors present some counterintuitive conclusions. Limited institutional reforms did take place; they can at least partly be attributed to ict decisions and they proved more sustainable in autocratic states than in some democratic ones. Independence from the organizations and states which created the tribunals does not always help tribunals to carry out their mission; it rather strengthens their actorness and influence if they enjoy their founders’ strong support but keep distance to the countries in which they investigat
Antecedents of fashion-oriented compulsive buying of young consumers: Evidence from an emerging economy
Full text linkThe study aims to examine the antecedents of fashion-oriented compulsive buying of young consumers in a heretofore largely under-studied context of an emerging European economy. Data collection was performed on a convenience sample of 386 Serbian respondents, by means of web-based structured questionnaire. The hypothesised relationships were examined by means of partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study indicate impulse buying as the most influential direct determinant of compulsive buying, followed by fashion orientation and materialism. The relationship between fashion orientation and compulsive buying was negatively moderated by perceived consumer effectiveness. The study’s findings provide implications for policy-makers, socialisation agents of young consumers (e.g. families, educational institutions, media) and marketers of fashion brand
ДА ЛИ СЕ РАЗУМЕМО? ДВОЈЕЗИЧНОСТ У ОБРАЗОВАЊУ У МАЊИНСКИМ СРЕДИНАМА У СРБИЈИ
No full textРепублика Србија је мултиетничка и мултикултурална држава у којој живи значајан број припадника различитих народа и етничких заједница. У њој живе припадници преко четрдесет мањинских заједница који, према резултатима последњег пописа становништва, чине 12,29% укупног броја становника. Код већине тих заједница у свакодневној употреби се користе њихови сопствени језици. У појединим случајевима мањински језици су ексклузивни медијум комуникације, али такође немали број припадника националних мањина поред њих упоредо користи и српски језик, а у мултиетничким срединама некад и неки други доминантно заступљен језик у тој локалној средини.
Међусобно познавање језика других заједница је основ за остваривање међугрупних контаката, повезивање и интеграцију у шире друштво. Поставља се питање да ли актуелне образовне политике у мањинским срединама у Србији подстичу двојезичност кроз образовање или воде сегрегацији. Циљ ове књиге је управо евалуација актуелних образовних политика на основу емпиријских података и идентификовања изазова и евентуалних препрека са којима се образовни систем и сви актери који у њему учествују суочавају.
Књига је подељена у три целине од којих прва представља теоријску поставку истраживања
Perspectives of AI in empowering persons with disabilities in Serbia
Full text linkThe integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into assistive
technologies represents a transformative advancement
in enhancing the quality of life for persons with disabilities.
This paper explores the multifaceted applications of
AI, from aiding daily activities and providing personalized
medical care, to improving social and emotional well-being.
By examining AI-powered tools such as text readers,
robotic assistants, and communication aids, the study highlights
how these technologies facilitate independence and
better healthcare outcomes. A survey from 2022 focusing
on Serbia explores how many basic digital literate persons
with disabilities use AI-based communication aids, and how
many are aware that AI is following their everyday activities.
The study reveals a possibility of future high usage
rates and positive impacts on persons with disabilities in
Serbia. About 24.32% of them already utilize AI-based
communication tools, mostly audio and text processing
tools. In this paper we underscore AI’s potential to foster
inclusivity and independence, which is an important topic
that should be emphasized in the society toda
The impact of low temperatures on mortality in Vojvodina (2000–2020): a quantitative analysis of cold spells
No full textThis study investigates the impact of low temperatures and cold spells on mortality in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia, during the 2000–2020 winter seasons. While previous research in the region has predominantly focused on heat-related mortality, this study provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis of cold-related mortality using daily data and a multi-method statistical approach. Cold days were defined as those with an average temperature below 0 °C, and cold spells were defined as periods with at least three consecutive days with minimum temperatures at or below − 10 °C. The results confirm a statistically significant increase in mortality during both cold days and cold spells. Nonlinear models, particularly LOESS and quadratic regression, identified two inflexion points in mortality response: at − 3.5 °C (onset of increase) and − 7 °C (marked escalation), with the highest mortality observed below − 13 °C, though based on fewer observations. The analysis of temporal lags revealed that mortality tends to increase between 2 and 9 days following cold exposure, with the most pronounced effects occurring during cold spells. Compared to Poisson regression, which failed to capture these associations, nonlinear methods more accurately reflect cold-related mortality dynamics. The study also proposes that − 7 °C is the most reliable operational threshold for early warning systems, given its consistency across models and statistical significance. These findings contribute to understanding the health effects of cold weather in Eastern Europe and may inform the development of targeted public health interventions
Is Rural Tourism an Opportunity for the Development and Revitalization of the Municipality of Aranđelovac?
No full textThe Municipality of Aranđelovac, with Bukovička Banja, boasts a tradition
of spa and health tourism spanning more than two centuries. Covering an
area of 376 km², Aranđelovac is the third largest municipality in the Šumadija
District and the second most populous, with 41,297 residents according to the
2022 census. Its relatively favorable traffic and tourism position along the
regional road M4 is expected to significantly improve with the construction
of the “Vožd Karađorđe” highway, which will undoubtedly enhance connectivity
with major emitting markets and contribute to tourism development.
Surrounded by the Bukulja and Venčac mountains, with 25.2% of its territory
covered by forests, the municipality of Aranđelovac enjoys a temperate-continental
climate that is particularly beneficial to human health in the higher
altitudes. Aranđelovac is a well-known destination on Serbia’s tourist map,
recognized for the Bukovička Banja Park (Special Hospital, Staro Zdanje,
natural springs), the Risovača Cave, the “Marble and Sounds” art festival,
the “Izvor” hotel, as well as the nearby historic site of Orašac, home to
Marićevića Jaruga, where the First Serbian Uprising began. In recent years,
the efforts of the Tourist Organization of the Municipality of Aranđelovac
have been directed toward developing niche tourism forms, including wine
and gastronomy routes, adventure tourism, fishing, events, and cultural-historical
tours. A particularly notable aspect of these efforts is the promotion of
rural tourism, which represents a significant opportunity and a growing trend
in the tourism market. Rural tourism holds great potential not only as a driverof economic growth but also as a key strategy for revitalizing the municipality
of Aranđelova
