Identitet i stereotipi
U radu se razmatra pojmovna veza identiteta i stereotipa. Prvi deo rada obuhvata teorijske koncepcije o pojmu identiteta i njegovih glavnih sastojnica. U drugom delu se navode stereotipi o srpskom identitetu i razmatraju procesi u kojima stereotipi nastaju i opstaju tokom istorije. Ukazuje se na strategije stereotipiziranja, kao i na dinamički element identiteta. U trećem delu rada razmatra se savremeni primer negativnih autostereotipa o Srbima. U zaključku autor navodi da identitet može biti odraz stereotipa, ali da samo stereotipi ne mogu obuhvatiti sve elemente identiteta. Zapitanost nad stereotipima jedina je konstanta, pošto su oni, između ostalog, i projekcija formiranja, očuvanja i (de)konstrukcije identiteta u budućnosti
Uloga informaciono komunikacionih tehnologija i globalnih distributivnih sistema za pružanje usluga u sektoru turističke privrede
Ovaj rad se bavi značajem Informaciono komunikacionih tehnologija (IKT) i primenom Globalnih distributivnih sitema (GDS) u sektoru turističke privrede sa fokusom na benefite koji su izvesni i očekivani kada je poslovanje u turističkoj privredi zasnovano na primeni IKT i GDS. IKT predstavljaju vaţan kanal komunikacije i uz GDS podstiču turiste na pokretljivost. Spomenuti kanali komunikacije su povoljni za korišćenje, brzi i efikasni, što je zapravo njihova prednost i dodatni razlog za korišćenje. Najrasprostranjeniji GDS su AMADEUS, GALILEO i SABRE. Njihova uloga je višestruka, a glavna prednost je ta što su programirani u skladu sa potrebama poslovanja u sektoru turističke privrede. Interent distributivni sistemi i on-line turističke agencije čine neizostavni deo elektronskog poslovanja u sektoru turističke privrede i predstavljaju revolucionarne metode poslovanja sa velikim brojem alata koji se koriste i primenjuju u turističkoj privred
ACADEMIC MOBILITY AS AN ELEMENT OF SOFT DIPLOMACY: A CASE STUDY SERBIA
In the relevant scientific literature, topics dealing with the study of "soft
power" in education, especially higher education, in the context of international
mobility are increasingly represented. Academic mobility among students can
influence the building of positive global results, which is the basis of soft power.
However, soft power must be seen as a two-way process between the donor country
and the beneficiary country. This paper explores to what extent and why the project
"The World in Serbia" is important, i.e., the education of foreign studentsscholarship
holders at the Universities of the Republic of Serbia, and under what
conditions it can be considered an instrument of soft power. The paper will use
primary and secondary data, as well as data obtained by the research conducted on
the population of foreign scholarship students who are educated in the Republic of
Serbia within the project "The World in Serbia"
Informal care givers of elderly in Serbia – towards formalisation of the status?
Neformalni negovatelj je svaka osoba koja pruža negu – obično bez naknade – drugoj osobi sa
hroničnom bolešću, invaliditetom ili drugom potrebom za dugotrajnom negom. Neformalni negovatelji
su potpuno neprepoznati u pravnom sistemu Republike Srbije. Shodno tome, u Srbiji
ne postoje zvanični podaci o broju neformalnih negovatelja. Postoje brojni aspekti neformalne
brige koji predstavljaju izazov. Narušena ravnoteža između poslovnog i privatnog života može
uticati na sposobnost neformalnih negovatelja da učestvuju na tržištu rada i održavaju društvene
kontakte. Ovo može dalje dovesti do socijalne isključenosti i rizika od siromaštva. Konačno, zdravlje
i dobrobit neformalnih negovatelja takođe mogu biti pogođeni. COVID-19 kriza dodatno je
razotkrila fundamentalne nedostatke u sistemu zbrinjavanja starijih osoba i slabosti u regulisanju
pružanja neformalne nege. Koristeći ograničene raspoložive podatke o neformalnoj nezi u Srbiji,
komparativne podatke i primere o položaju neformalnih negovatelja, članak nastoji da prevashodno
doprinese otvaranju društvene debate o položaju neformalnih negovatelja, potencijalnoj
formalizaciji njihovog položaja i ponudi preporuke za unapređenje položaja, a pre svega kada se
radi o nezi starije populacije
Correlates of Premature Mortality in Serbia
This study investigates the relationship between premature mor�tality and various indicators of economic and social development
among municipalities of Serbia. I explore how different indicators,
especially those linked to economic factors, correlate with indicators
of premature mortality rates in Serbia. I conducted a comprehensive
correlational analysis using vital statistics, mortality data, and data
from the Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Republic
of Serbia and other sources
Patterns of female and male fertility in Serbiabased on the results of the 2022 Censu
The decades-long low fertility of the population of Serbia is one of the biggest social challenges and a key component of population dynamics in the long term. Recent research suggests that the reduced progression to first and second child poses an increasingly significant challenge to the recovery of the total fertility rate despite the widespread perception that this is a reduction in higher child parity. At the same time, the pronounced gender imbalance in the spatial distribution of the population in their prime reproductive ages accelerates the processes of population aging and poverty in Serbia, despite the policy makers' goals presented through key national strategies regarding the country's sustainable development. Demographic analyses of changes in fertility patterns of the population in Serbia typically refer to females. Limiting the collection and interpretation of fertility data to women may lead to ignoring the specifics of men's reproductive behaviour, or to the assumption that the level, patterns, and changes in fertility do not differ significantly between men and women. The results of the 2022 Census in Serbia for the first time provide an opportunity to assess male fertility and perform a gender-sensitive analysis of fertility patterns. Existing research suggests that male fertility in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe, is lower than female fertility in recent periods, and that male fertility has declined faster than female fertility. Although the analysis of the results of the 2022 Census cannot conclude how this pattern has changed over time in Serbia, it will be very important to determine, from the aspect of pronounced differences in demographic capacities between areas and regions of Serbia that affect the demographic resilience of the country, what (dis)similarities exist between female and male fertility patterns, especially in their spatial distribution and settlement type. The aim of the paper is to identify patterns, correlations and trends in the fertility of the population of Serbia using statistical methods of longitudinal analysis of cohort fertility indicators of men and women - cumulative and specific according to age, birth order of the child, marital status, education and type of settlement based on the special processing of the 2022 Census data. The results will show whether current generations in reproductive age reach, exceed or fall behind the fertility level of previous generations. Also, by comparing these results with those of the 2011 Census, it will be possible to determine whether there have been changes in female fertility patterns in the intercensal period regarding relations between frequency of births, number of live births and mean age of women at birth of first child. The results of the analysis will contribute to a better understanding of the reproductive patterns of the population in Serbia, thus possibly helping in creation of more adequate policy measures in the field of family plannin
The Demographic Future of Western Balkans: Between Depopulation and Immigration
This paper discusses the perspectives of demographic processes in Western Balkans until 2100 in relation to the different development of socioeconomic conditions. High emigration, as a distinctive demographic feature of the region, was considered from the viewpoint of the human development index. Recent population projections by three international agencies served as a framework for the analysis. The projections of the United Nations—WPP2022 were taken as a basis for calculating demographic indicators on future changes in the size and composition of the population and labour force of the countries of the Western Balkans. We also built three scenarios of future activity patterns based on data from the Labour Force Survey in order to take into account actual labour force participation. Results show that: (a) depopulation within the next decades will be a very certain feature in this region and (b) international migration could be more important for the total population trend than fertility. There would also be no increase in the economic burden of an ageing population within the next two decades, while it would be minimal by 2060, even if there was a slight increase of the participation rates. Achieving the current activity pattern of the Swedish population would even reduce the dependency burden across the region by 2040, and in some countries considerably. Reducing emigration and moving towards net immigration should be a long-term strategy for approaching a more favourable future, but increasing activity is probably the most effective policy since it reduces the pressure of non-workers in conditions of a shrinking total population
The Role of Agriculture in Achieving the Objectives of the European Green Deal
The European Green Deal as a new EU strategy aiming to
reach no net emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 2050,
as well as economic growth which is not tied to resource use,
while leaving no person or place behind, was presented and
adopted right at the beginning of the spread of the COVID-19
virus. Despite the obstacles, new strategies and laws were
adopted during the pandemic years. Reaching the objectives
of the Green Deal requires various changes in different sectors.
One sector that has a significant role in achieving those
goals is agriculture. This research focuses on the special role
of agriculture within the European Green Deal and how agricultural
production and farmers can contribute to the achievement
of the European Green Deal objectives. In this context
the Farm to Fork Strategy and EU Biodiversity Strategy for
2030 were analyzed. Special focus was set on the correlation
between those strategies, the European Green Deal and new
Common Agricultural Policy for the period 2023–202
