Attitudes of university students towards institution of a marriage
No full textUntil recently, marriage was the only socially acceptable community of two partners of different gender, with the goal of creating a family and prolonging the human race. The aim of this paper is to examine the attitudes of University students towards marriage and family. The research was based on the survey regarding the attitudes of students from the University of Novi Sad, Serbia towards institution of marriage. Collected data were analysed by using the SPSS statistical software. The main results indicate that 93.8% of respondents want to get married one day; an ideal number of children for a family to have been two (48.4%); 54.6% of respondents strongly agreed that if being in a marriage does not work properly, they should divorce. The results of these analyses and their limitations suggest guiding a future research according to different attitudes of respondents. This research provides the most ambitious and systematic analysis to date the attitudinal evidence on the attitudes of family, future children, and divorce among University students
Intercultural marriages in Vojvodina
No full textMarriage is considered one of the oldest social institutions. The re
search topic is the characteristics and changes of marriage in the ter
ritory of AP Vojvodina from the second half of the 2oth century until
2020. In the second half of the 20th century, the cohabitation of un
married partners and alternative forms of community gained more
importance. Also, divorces are becoming more frequent, marriages
are shorter, and remarriage is rare. Changes in marriage trends af
fect changes in family and social structures and significantly shape
future demographic trends. In z9so, the number of marriages in Vo
jvodina was I9,681, and from the second half of the seventies of the
2oth century, it began to decline sharply until 2019, when up to so%
fewer marriages were concluded than in I950. The data were collected
from the Demographic Statistics publication. Vojvodina stands out as
a unique area in Europe, with an extraordinary concentration of dif
ferent ethnic groups. The interculturality of this area was created by
the waves of settlement of numerous peoples, which resulted in a sig
nificant share of mixed marriages, and which additionally imposed
the need to research the characteristics and changes of marriage in
the population of Vojvodina
Towards an Integrative Framework of Relationship Quality in a Retail Setting: Evidence from an Emerging Economy
Get PDFThis study aims to propose and empirically examine a relationship quality model in a grocery retail
setting in Serbia. Motivation: Whereas relationship quality has been extensively studied in B2B settings and in developed
economies, far less research attention has been devoted to the formation and effects of relationship quality in B2C
exchange relations in developing economies. This especially holds true for Eastern Eupean emerging economies and the
present research aims to fill this gap. Idea: Building upon previous research in service settings, this study proposes
customer orientation as an antecedent to relationship quality, comprising relationship satisfaction, customer trust and
commitment to a retailer, and attitudinal and behavioural loyalty as consequences of relationship quality. Data: The study
has been performed on a convenience sample of 453 grocery retail customers in Serbia, by means of structured
questionnaire. Tools: Upon supporting constructs’ validity, structural equation modelling (SEM) has been applied to
examine the proposed relationships. Findings: The results of the study indicate significant direct impact of employees’
customer orientation on trust and relationship satisfaction. Commitment to a retailer and relationship satisfaction emerged
as direct antecedents to attitudinal and behavioural loyalty, whereas trust emerged as an indirect determinant of loyalty
constructs. In terms of total effect, relationship satisfaction emerged as the most influential determinant of both facets of
customer loyalty. Contribution: The findings of the study which indicate significant indirect contribution of front-line
employees’ customer orientation to attitudinal and behavioural loyalty of customers provide valuable insights for HR
management of retail enterprises. In addition, by addressing relationship quality construct and its antecedents and effects
in a B2C setting in thus far largely under-studied context, such as an emerging European economy, this study’s findings
add to the growing body of knowledge on Relationship Marketing
International students, beneficiaries of the state scholarships of the Republic of Serbia and their education in the 21st century
Get PDFNowadays, there is an increasing number of international students interested in studying in Serbia. More precisely, ever since the World in Serbia project was first launched in 2010, the number of international beneficiaries of scholarships has been a continuous increase but so far, no research of this population has been done. Results from the past, as well as the launching of the World in Serbia study programme, have inspired us to choose temporary migration of international beneficiaries of student scholarships in Serbia in the 21st century as the subject of our research. The purpose of this paper is to define the profile of international beneficiaries of student scholarships, whose education is funded by the Government of the Republic of Serbia funds, but also to establish motivation that led these students to their decision to study in Serbia. For this reason, we have conducted the research on the basis of a survey, on a sample of 126 international beneficiaries of student scholarships
Hate speech vs.politically correct speech: Casual-consequential relationships
Get PDFThe paper considers hate speech and politically correct speech as two
extremes in social relations. Shaping of human consciousness depends on basic
human feelings of love and hate whose denoting, understanding and interpretation
is acquired through socialization. This process of shaping is determined by using
the words and language in formation of terms and speech. The interiorization of
socially allowed ways of using language controls social relations, and enables
potential forms of manipulation and expression of power towards others or different
people. The purpose of the paper is to shed light on the causal-consequential
relationships between these two social phenomena. In the conclusion, we will point
out insights on how hate speech and politically correct speech are used as antipodes
to cover up the ideological nature of social system
Obavezna vakcinacija protiv COVID-19 iz perspektive ljudskih prava
Get PDFAnaliza obavezujuće vakcinacije protiv COVID-19 iz ugla ljudskih prava pokazuje
da takva praksa ugrožava realizaciju niza fundamentalnih prava, uključujući pravo na
život, fizički integritet, bezbednost i zdravlje. Osnovna pretpostavka za sprovođenje imunizacije protiv bilo koje zarazne bolesti, pa tako i protiv COVID-19, jeste da je vakcina
koja se primenjuje ispitana, efikasna i bezbedna. Vakcine protiv ove zarazne bolesti ne
samo da nisu dovoljno ispitane, već su se u upotrebi našle i one koje se zasnivaju na genetskom materijalu i koje nikada do sada nisu bile korišćene u svrhu imunizacije od bolesti.
Prethodni informisani dobrovoljni pristanak lica je conditio sine qua non. Niko ne može
biti izložen političkom, društvenom ili bilo kakvom drugom pritisku da se vakciniše ukoliko to sam ne želi da uradi, a pravo na delotvorni pravni lek i obeštećenje mora biti obezbeđeno svima. Proizvođači vakcina se ne mogu osloboditi od odgovornosti za potencijalne
štetne posledice. U interesu je javnog zdravlja da države preduzmu mere radi zaštite od
neprikladnog uticaja farmaceutske industrije. Cilj rada je da doprinese naučnoj raspravi

Perspectives of Legal and Bioethical Considerations from the Standpoint of Medical Law
Get PDFAn important subject of bioethical and legal considerations is the relations and manifestations of what happens in current biomedical practice regarding the practice of activities and the provision of health care services. This is particularly important when it comes to disagreements, collisions, and conflicting rules, the ethical and legal origins of different norms, and medical decision making. An appropriate analytical and methodological approach through interpretation and comparison is needed to uncover shortcomings that often remain on the surface, invisible, due to the lack of dialogue. This paper aims to shed light on the fundamentals of bioethical principles on the one hand and the legal-logical system of norms in biomedicine on the other. The conclusion emphasises the elimination of the contradictory elements of the relationship and the affirmation of helpful and complementary aspects with the opening of parallel perspectives and intersections in the service of promoting the legality of the work, the development of good medical practice and respect for human rights in the field of health
