Influence of the human factor on risks in an open-pit mine
Get PDFToday's turbulent business conditions are characterized by rapid technological development of the 'post-industrial' society. New technologies have caused the creation of new risks in complex techno-socio-ecological systems and up to today a lot of work is done in the aim to answer to safety demand of technology and technical equipment. After all this, human factor with its limitations and possibilities is becoming the central topic in research studies about risk and safety. This study presents study about risk of human factor, conducted in the real, high risk industrial system
Uticaj statusa regulisane vojne obaveze na spremnost građana za reagovanje na prirodnu katastrofu izazvanu poplavom u Republici Srbiji
Get PDFThe aim of quantitative research is to examine the impact of fear on the willingness of citizens to respond to a natural disaster caused by the flood in the Republic of Serbia. Bearing in mind all local communities in Serbia where floods occurred or there is a high risk of flooding, randomly it was selected sample consisting 19 of 150 municipalities and 23 towns and the city of Belgrade. In selected communities research was undertaken in those areas that were most affected in relation to the amount of water or potential risk of flooding. The survey used strategy of testing in households with the use of a multi-stage random sample. The research results indicate that that the citizens of that regulated the status of military duties take certain preventive measures aimed at reducing the tangible consequences of floods, they would engage in assisting flood victims in, thinking about preparedness for responding to floods, encourage them heavy rains, not yet ready, but intend to do so in the next six months and so on. The originality of the research lies in the fact that in Serbia it has never been conducted research to examine the state of preparedness of citizens to respond. Bearing in mind that the research is based on the territory of Serbia, conclusions can be generalized to the entire population. The research results can be used when creating a strategy for improving the level of preparedness of citizens to respond.Cilj kvantitativnog istraživanja predstavlja ispitivanje uticaja statusa regulisane vojne obaveze na spremnost građana za reagovanje na prirodnu katastrofu izazvanu poplavom u Republici Srbiji. Imajući u vidu sve lokalne zajednice u Srbiji u kojima se dogodila ili postoji visok rizik da se dogodi poplava, metodom slučajnog uzorka odabrano je njih devetnaest od ukupno 150 opština i 23 grada i grada Beograda. U odabranim lokalnim zajednicama istraživanje obavilo se u onim delovima koji su bili najugroženiji u odnosu na visinu vode ili potencijalni rizik. U samom anketnom ispitivanju u kome je anketirano 2500 građana bila je primenjena strategija ispitivanja u domaćinstvima uz primenu višeetapnog slučajnog uzorka. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da su građani koji su regulisali status vojne obaveze preduzeli određene preventivne mere u cilju smanjenja materijalnih posledica poplave, angažovali bi se na pružanju pomoći žrtvama poplava na, na razmišljanje o spremnosti za reagovanje na poplave, podstiču ih dugotrajne kiše, još uvek nisu spremni, ali nameravaju da to urade u narednih šest meseci itd. Orginalnost istraživanja ogleda se u činjenici da u Srbiji nije nikada sprovedeno istraživanje kojim bi se ispitalo stanje spremnosti građana za reagovanje. Rezultati istraživanja se mogu iskoristiti prilikom kreiranja strategija za unapređenje nivoa spremnosti građana za reagovanje. Istraživanje ukazuje na koji način treba uticati na građane obzirom na status regulisane vojne obaveze kako bi se spremnost podigla na viši nivo
Zaštita prava na suđenje u razumnom roku u pravnom sistemu Srbije
Get PDFOne of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the Constitution of Serbia is entitled to trial within a reasonable time, as a component of the right to a fair trial. The protection of this right in Serbia's legal system has gradually evolved from the position that there is no effective remedy for his protection, until the adoption of a special law which protects this right in an integrated and comprehensive manner. In this article analyzed the legislative instruments which on the one hand guarantee, and on the other hand provide judicial protection of the right to trial within a reasonable time. Especially critically analyzed the role of the Constitutional Court in proceedings on constitutional appeals, the role of the regular courts and finally the provisions of the new Law on the Protection of the right to trial within a reasonable time, with a comparative analysis in relation to the relevant law of the European Court of Human Rights.Jedno od osnovnih prava garantovanih Evropskom konvencijom o ljudskim pravima i osnovnim slobodama i Ustavom Srbije je pravo na suđenje u razumom roku, kao komponenta prava na pravično suđenje. Zaštita ovog prava u pravnom sistemu Srbije postepeno je evoluirala, od stava da ne postoji delotvorno pravno sredstvo za njegovu zaštitu, do donošenja posebnog zakona koji ovo pravo integralno i na sveobuhvatan način štiti. U ovom radu analizirani su legislativni instrumenti koji sa jedne strane garantuju, a sa druge strane pružaju sudsku zaštitu prava na suđenje u razumnom roku. Detaljnije su kritički analizirani uloga Ustavnog suda u postupcima po ustavnim žalbama, uloga redovnih sudova i na kraju odredbe novog Zakona o zaštiti prava na suđenje u razumnom roku, uz komparativnu analizu u odnosu na relevantnu praksu Evropskog suda za ljudska prava
Profesionalizacija poslova bezbednosti u Srbiji
Get PDFThis paper presents the history of transformation of the term profession and contemporary notions of profession development. It is shown how contemporary security affairs are performed by an increasing number of actors whose area of operation spans certain segments or the integral corp of security problems. Contemporary expanded comprehension of the security phenomena includes traditional security structures in security personnel, but also a series of university educated civillian security personnel. The process of professionalization of these affairs is accompanied by numerous difficulties. Traditional structures are considered as atypical professions because of low autonomy and scientific-theoretical knowledge foundations. New professions mostly satisfy former conditions, but are yet to form other notions of professionality - legitimacy of professional expertise, broader community recognition and acceptance, social responsibility codex formation and profession strengthening through professional associations.U radu su izloženi istorijat transformacije pojma profesija i savremena obeležja izgrađenosti profesije. Pokazano je kako poslove bezbednosti u savremenim uslovima obavlja sve veći broj aktera čije područje delovanja obuhvata pojedine segmente ili integralni korpus bezbednosnih problema. Savremeno prošireno razumevanje fenomena bezbednosti uključuje u kadrovski obuhvat tradicionalne bezbednosne strukture, ali i niz univerzitetski obrazovanih civilnih kadrova bezbednosti. Proces profesionalizacije ovih poslova praćen je brojnim teškoćama. Tradicionalne strukture se smatraju atipičnim profesijama zbog niskog nivoa autonomije i naučno-teorijske podloge znanja, a nove profesije, kojima se u tom pogledu može izneti manje zamerki, tek izgrađuju ostala obeležja profesionalnosti - legitimitet na stručnu ekspertizu, prepoznatljivost od strane šire zajednice, formiranje kodeksa socijalne odgovornosti i jačanje profesije kroz profesionalne asocijacije
Značaj i uloga međunarodnih organizacija u očuvanju ekološke i ljudske bezbednosti
Get PDFThis paper presents key reflections on compromised ecological and human security. Man's growing insecurity has been affected by global ecological issues in two ways, directly and indirectly. The former involves health implications of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, while the latter is linked to potential climate changes and malnutrition. Not all ecological hazards are global, but it is clear that they exacerbate local pollution-related concerns and that individual countries are not capable of addressing them on their own. How the perspective of human security can be incorporated into the analysis of environmental challenges and how the ecological dimension can be bolstered in the analysis of human security are some of the other issues examined in this paper. The paper aims to recognize the role and importance of international organizations based on conceptual, analytical and operational considerations of ecological and human security issues. Namely, through mutual cooperation and joint activities these organizations are making great efforts to produce results by analyzing the interaction between factors of global change and degradation of the environment and factors affecting human security. Among the more important organizations mentioned are the UN and several of its agencies and suborganizations that are part of the 'UN family' (UNDP, UNESCO, UNU, UNU-EHS, UNEP, FAO) as well as a number of regional organizations such as OSCE and EU.Od kraja Hladnog rata shvatanje bezbednosti se radikalno menja tako što se širi i produbljuje, što je uslovilo pojavu novih razmišljanja koja obuhvataju svest o ugroženosti ekološke i ljudske bezbednosti. Globalni ekološki problemi kao što su: efekat staklene bašte, oštećenje ozonskog omotača, opadanje biološke raznovrsnosti, uništenje okeanskih i kopnenih staništa, doprinose ljudskoj nesigurnosti i to na dva načina: direktno i indirektno. Prvi način podrazumeva zdravstvene posledice izloženosti ultraviolentnom zračenju, a drugi indirektan, posredno putem potencijalnih klimatskih poremećaja i smanjene uhranjenosti. Nemaju sve ekološke opasnosti globalni karakter, ali je jasno da one sinergijski deluju na probleme na lokalnom nivou u vezi sa zagađenjem i mogućnošću njihovog otklanjanja. Usled nemogućnosti država da samostalno rešavaju ova pitanja, važno je ukazati na značaj i ulogu međunarodnih organizacija u rešavanju ovih problema. Za sada se radi na stavljanju na dnevni red brojnih programa i konferencija i uspostavljanju bolje saradnje između organizacija, kao i organizacija sa pojedinačnim državama. Među značajnije organizacije svakako treba navesti Organizaciju Ujedinjenih nacija (OUN) i neke od njenih agencija i podorganizacija koje čine deo 'porodice OUN' (UNDP, UNESKO, UNU, UNU-EHS, UNEP, FAO), ali i organizacije regionalnog karaktera kao što su: OEBS, EU i druge
Sekuritizacija u energetskoj bezbednosti – slučaj EU i ruskog gasa
Get PDFThe concept of energy security reaches the top of political and security agenda of the EU in 2005, when the first disruption of natural gas supply began. The greatest concern of EU officials, in that sense, is related to the possibility of (ab)use of energy as a political weapon in terms of dependence on Russian energy supplies. The topic of this paper is related to the securitisation of natural gas that Russia exports to the EU member states. The paper analyzes the documents and official statements of the highest EU officials in which the dependence on Russian gas was designated as an essential security threat to the energy security of the EU. The paper also presents the dynamics of the process of securitisation, the main actors of the process, outlined possible causes, and presents the consequences that have encouraged or accelerated the special measures by the EU.Pojam energetske bezbednosti dospeva na vrh političko-bezbednosne agende EU od 2005. godine, a početkom prvih ozbiljnijih prekida u snabdevanju prirodnim gasom. U tom smislu najveća bojazan zvaničnika EU vezana je za mogućnost (zlo)upotrebe energenata kao političkog oružja u uslovima energetske zavisnosti od Rusije. Tema rada vezana je za sekuritizaciju prirodnog gasa koji Rusija izvozi u zemlje članice EU. U radu su analizirani dokumenti i zvanična saopštenja najviših EU zvaničnika u kojima je zavisnost od ruskog gasa označavana kao esencijalna bezbednosna pretnja po energetsku bezbednost EU. U radu je takođe predstavljena dinamika procesa sekuritizacije, glavni akteri, skicirani su mogući razlozi, a predstavljene su i posledice koje su podstakle ili ubrzale preduzimanje specijalnih mera
Uloga oružanih snaga Srbije u humanitarnoj akciji zaštite zdravlja i borbi protiv bioloških pretnji
Get PDFDue to the specific resources, available to all armies of the world within their stipulated missions, such armies play an important role in the fight against biological threats, especially the potentially most dangerous, bioterrorism. The real threat of misuse of biological agents and the possible consequences of asymmetric threats to public health, society, agriculture, economy and political stability has clearly been recognized in recent years. The Republic of Serbia is committed to giving its contribution to the global fight against this danger, given the experience it has in the care and treatment of infectious diseases, primarily of a zoonotic character that are present in our geographic area, as well as the response to crisis situations which create favorable conditions for the spread of infectious diseases. The Serbian Armed Forces and its capacities in the field of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear services, and its medical and veterinary services which have a long tradition and experience is ready to actively participate in the implementation of the measures of prevention and response in the case of biological threats contributing to the civilian community, medical services, and society as a whole in order to protect the life and health of the population.Usled posebnih izvora dostupnih svim armijama sveta u okviru ostvarenja svojih strateških zadataka, one igraju značajnu ulogu u borbi protiv bioloških pretnji, naročito onih potencijalno najopasnijih―bioterorizma. Danas postoji stvarna pretnja zloupotrebe bioloških agenasa čije bi posledice predstavljale asimetričnu pretnju javnom zdravlju, društvu, poljoprivredi, ekonomiji i političkoj stabilnosti, i ona je jasno prepoznata tokom nekoliko prethodnih godina. Republika Srbija je opredeljena da da svoj doprinos globalnoj borbi protiv ove opasnosti polazeći od iskustva koje ima u prevenciji i tretmanu zaraznih bolesti, prvenstveno onih sa životinjskim poreklom prisutnih u našoj geografskoj oblasti. Ona ima spreman odgovor i u kriznim situacijama koje stvaraju pogodne uslove za širenje zaraznih bolesti. Oružane snage Srbije sa svojim kapacitetima u hemijskoj, biološkoj, radiološkoj i nuklearnoj oblasti, kao i dugogodišnjom tradicijom i iskustvom u pružanju medicinskih i veterinarskih usluga, spremne su aktivno da doprinesu primeni mera prevencije i odgovora u slučaju bioloških pretnji, pomažući civilnoj zajednici, medicinskim službama i društvu u celini, sa ciljem zaštite života i zdravlja stanovništva
Relationship between demographic and environmental factors and knowledge of secondary school students on natural disasters
Get PDFThe subject of quantitative research is to examine the connection between demographic (gender, age) and environmental factors (family, school and media) and knowledge and perceptions of students about natural disasters. Bearing in mind the orientation of the research design on determination of character and strength of relationships of demographic and environmental factors with the knowledge and perceptions of students about natural disasters, research has explicative goal. The authors use the method of interviewing high school students to identify demographic and environmental factors associated with the knowledge and perceptions of students about natural disasters. The study included 3,063 students of secondary schools in the city of Belgrade. Results suggest the existence of links between gender, success achieved in school and education of parents and the knowledge of students about natural disasters. The results also indicate that the education of students at school and within family does not affect the knowledge, but affects their perception on natural disasters. Bearing in mind the geographical space of Serbia, the study is based only on the Belgrade region, so the findings can be generalized only to the population of students in this area. Research findings indicate potential ways to influence students to raise level of knowledge about natural disasters to a higher level. Given the evident lack of education about natural disasters in Serbia, the study results can be used for policies of educational programs, which would contribute to improving the safety of youth culture
Effects of roads and railways on large game in the Belgrade area: a case-study of nine municipalities
No full textThe effects of roads and railways on major species of large game (roe deer and wild boar) have been studied in eight hunting grounds in the Belgrade area (nine municipalities), as well as the consequences of chemical accidents in transport of hazardous materials. Road accidents involving birds, game and other animals (WVC - wildlife vehicle collisions) during 2009-2013 in the Belgrade area result in 10 cases (4.8%) in injuries for drivers and passengers. In total, 267 roe deer and 8 wild boar were killed in traffic by cars and trains. Traffic accidents with roe deer have their maximum in April-May and then in December. The adult sex ratio in roe deer killed in traffic by cars and trains was 2.1 (173 female and 80 male), indicating that females were more vulnerable than males. The yearly traffic kill of roe deer represented between 0.8% and 1.1% of the spring population size. In the Belgrade area, the mobile eco-toxicological laboratory of the City Institute of Public Health Belgrade during 2004-2012 registered 177 chemical accidents (mean = 19.7, range = 13 to 26). The chemical accidents in transport of hazardous materials were sporadic and their consequences were small-scale contamination of the environment and economic losses. At the main transport routes of hazardous materials passing through hunting grounds in the Belgrade area occurred 26 chemical accidents, out of which 11 on the railways and 9 on the roads, and the remainder in air and river transportation (4 and 2, respectively)
