Most researchers analyze causes and consequences of cyberbullying, however, only few try to improve software to reduce or stop cyberbullying, and make Internet a safer place. In this article, current review of efforts in cyberbullying detection using web content mining techniques is presented
Uloga medija u realizaciji projekta kulturnog imperijalizma
Get PDFMilitary power, combined with the economic potential and scientific and technological superiority, aims globalization on a larger scale. Confirmation of dominance and its maintenance are realized through an ideological project by imposing a model of social organization which provides the control over the positions of hegemony. The ideology matrix of neoliberal capitalism is used through globalism to maintain such positions. The conversion of cultural patterns of local communities is rightly explained as westernization of the rest of the world done by the Euro-Atlantic countries. Global multimedia networks enforce the Western value system and lifestyle which leads to degradation of local cultural patterns. As a result, the collective identity of members of local communities is endangered and cultural patterns created over centuries are being destroyed and replaced by an inadequate social structure which cannot satisfy the needs of the local population.Vojna moć u kombinaciji sa ekonomskim potencijalom i naučno-tehnološkom superiornošću teži svojoj realizaciji na širokom globalnom prostoru. Potvrda nadmoći ostvaruje se putem ideološkog projekta nametanja sopstvenih modela društvene organizacije koji omogućavaju zadržavanje dostignutog položaja hegemona. Ideološka matrica neoliberalnog kapitalizma putem globalizma koristi se u cilju očuvanja stečenih pozicija. Preoblikovanje kulturnih obrazaca lokalnih zajednica s potpunim pravom objašnjava se kao vesternizacija ostalog sveta od strane razvijenih evroatlantskih zemalja. Posredstvom globalnih multimedijalnih mreža vrši se nametanje zapadnog sistema vrednosti i načina života što dovodi do degradacije domicilnih kulturnih obrazaca. Time se ugrožava kolektivni identitet pripadnika lokalnih zajednica, razbijaju kulturni obrasci stvarani vekovima i nameće neadekvatna društvena struktura koja ne može da zadovolji potrebe lokalnog stanovništva
Neke kontroverze zakona o privatnom obezbeđenju
Get PDFThe Republic of Serbia is one of the last countries that legally regulate the private security sector, which is a new conceptual system of the national security system. Since the law is expected to solve many issues and dilemmas, and bring order to the area, which by some accounts is a very profitable branch of economy. Expectations were that by the end to regulate issues such as: 1) the need for institutionalization of partnership between the public and private sectors for mutual benefit, 2) the need of expressing mutual interest to establish the desired condition of security in the entire society and 3) the need to define the mechanisms and authority to achieve mentioned above. Based on this, legal framework of private security should explicitly provide: 1) a new role of the private sector, 2) communication and data exchange between the public and private sector, 3) mandatory notification about prepared or committed criminal acts on which there is information, 4) cooperation in the tasks of necessarily protected facilities, 4) cooperation in crisis situations including natural disasters, traffic accidents, strikes, sabotage, terrorist attacks, etc., 5) cooperate in the selection and training of staff and 6) cooperation in planning activities and project design of security. This paper presents a critical review of some theoretical and professional controversies in the solutions provided by law, for the purpose of answering whether it is achieving the purpose of passing of such a legal act.Republika Srbija je među poslednjim zemljama koje su pravno uredile oblast privatne bezbednosti koja je u novom konceptualnom sistemu deo sistema nacionalne bezbednosti. Od zakona se očekivalo da reši brojna pitanja i dileme i uvede red u ovu oblast koja po nekim proračunima predstavlja veoma profitabilnu granu privrede. Očekivanja su bila da se do kraja urede pitanja kao što su: 1) potrebe za institucionalizacijom partnerskog odnosa između javnog i privatnog sektora na obostranu korist, 2) potrebe iskazivanja zajedničkog interesa ka uspostavljanju željenog stanja bezbednosti u celom društvu i 3) potrebe definisanja mehanizama i ovlašćenja za ostvarivanje gore navedenog. Na osnovu toga, zakonski okvir privatne bezbednosti trebalo je decidno da omogući: 1) novu ulogu privatnog sektora, 2) međusobnu komunikaciju i razmenu podataka između javnog i privatnog sektora, 3) obaveznost obaveštavanja o pripremanim ili izvršenim krivičnim delima o kojima postoje saznanja, 4) saradnju na poslovima zaštite obavezno štićenih objekata, 4) saradnju u kriznim situacijama uključujući tu i prirodne katastrofe, saobraćajne nesreće, štrajkove, diverzije, sabotaže, terorističke napade i slično, 5) saradnju u odabiru i obuci kadrova kao i 6) saradnju u planiranju poslova i izradi projekata obezbeđenja. U ovom radu dat je kritički osvrt na neke teorijske i stručne kontroverze u rešenjima koja nudi Zakon, a u cilju davanja odgovora da li je postignut cilj donošenja jednog ovakvog pravnog akta
Development a Comprehensive Food Safety System in Serbia-A Narrative Review Article
No full textBackground: Food safety issues are not a new issue in science, but due to the dynamic changes in the modern world it is as equally important as decades ago. The aim of the study was to address the efforts in the development of a comprehensive food safety system in Serbia, and make specific recommendations regarding the improvement of epidemiological investigation capacity as a useful tool which contributes to improving the public health by joint efforts of epidemiologists and law enforcement. Methods: We used the methodology appropriate for social sciences. Results: The findings show the current state-of-affairs in the area of food safety and health care system and present some most important weaknesses which have to be overcome. Policy makers need timely and reliable information so that they can make informed decisions to improve the population health in an ongoing process of seeking full membership in the European Union. Conclusion: Serbia has to apply significant changes in practice because the current state-of-affairs in the area of food safety and health care system is not so favourable due to numerous both objective and subjective factors. Hence, the policy-makers must work on the development of epidemiological investigation capacities as a firm basis for greater efficiency and effectiveness. Epidemiologists would not stay alone in their work. Law enforcement as well as many other stakeholders should recognize their new role in the process of the development of epidemiological investigation capacity as a tool for the development of a comprehensive food safety system in Serbia
Narodna skupština Republike Srbije i kapacitet sistema nacionalne bezbednosti
Get PDFThe work of the Parliament of Serbia, as well as in any other democratic country, has a special significance. The social sphere is burdened with numerous problems. The fact that the Assembly adopts the Constitution and is a holder of legislative power in the Republic of Serbia even more emphasizes its social function. Legislative and political role in the realization of interests of the people whose representatives obliges members of parliament on independence. Therefore Parliament should not be influenced by the executive, or the use and role must not be constrained by a variety of informal centers of power. This is especially important if one takes into account the role of the National Assembly in the national security and decision-making on matters of war and peace. Parliament, in terms of security, plays a significant role in terms of control of the executive with the responsibility of key powers in terms of system security (army, police and intelligence system). Using a number of mechanisms for the assembly, in terms of security, usually manifests achieved (reached) the degree of state national security of the Republic of Serbia and contributes to building the capacity of state security.Skupština Srbije je od osnivanja imala poseban značaj i uticaj za sveukupni razvoj i modernizaciju Srbije, pa tako i najvažniju ulogu u izgradnji i razvoju sistema bezbednosti. Osnivanje i rad skupštine Srbije, kao najvažnije demokratske institucije u državi, neretko je bio opterećen mnogobrojnim problemima. Obzirom da ista donosi Ustav i da predstavlja nosioca zakonodavne vlasti u Republici Srbiji još više potencira njenu društvenu funkciju. Zakonodavna i predstavnička uloga u realizaciji interesa naroda, čiji su predstavnici, obavezuje članove parlamenta na nezavisnost. Samim tim parlament ne sme da bude pod uticajem izvršne vlasti, odnosno njen rad i uloga ne smeju biti ograničavani od raznih neformalnih centara moći. Ovo posebno dobija na značaju ako se ima u vidu uloga Narodne skupštine za razvoj kapaciteta sistema nacionalne bezbednosti. Rad predstavlja analizu specifičnosti i značaja skupštine u smislu kontrole rada izvršne vlasti u čijoj su nadležnosti ključna ovlašćenja, a naročito ona koja se odnose na pitanja sistema bezbednosti (vojske, policije i obaveštajnog sistema). Korišćenjem različitih naučno-istraživačkih metoda u analizi rada skupštine, sa aspekta bezbednosti, uočava se da se njena uloga i rad vrednuju kroz ostvareni (dostignuti) stepen stanja nacionalne bezbednosti Republike Srbije i doprinos izgradnji celokupnog kapaciteta sistema bezbednosti države

Get PDFBezbednosna kultura u menadžmentu bezbednosti - istraživanje stavova u Republici Srbiji
Get PDFIn an organization, security culture represents a set of security-related values, norms, beliefs, and rules of conduct shared by all the members of the organization. It has to be accepted by the entire staff, and especially by the management. The senior management is, in fact, charged with introducing norms and responsible for the implementation of security management. Security management should contribute to the prevention of crisis situations and threats. This paper puts forward the stance that security culture is an inevitable means in security management and the achievement of its goals. The paper also presents the results of a research on the attitudes towards security culture conducted in several economic entities in the Republic of Serbia
Strah od kriminala u Beogradu - testiranje modela socio-demografskih i socijalno-psiholoških faktora
Get PDFDespite a wealth of research practice, the conceptualization of fear of crime and the ways in which this fear is measured remain the subject of intense theoretical debate in criminological and sociological disciplines. Taking as a starting point the need for a theoretical explanation of fear of crime and the existing research which has confirmed the relevance of the model which integrates socio-demographic and social-psychological factors, a study was conducted in order to examine the predictive capabilities of these factors and compare the results with those of similar studies in the region. The analysis was based on the data obtained in the course of the regional research project 'Fear of Crime in Large Cities', carried out in 2009 in the capital cities of former Yugoslav republics on a multistage random sample using the method of in-home interview. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was applied on a sample of 397 adult respondents residing in urban parts of Belgrade in order to draw conclusions on how the variables of the integrated model can help explain the differences in the level of fear of crime. Fear of crime, as a dependent variable, was measured using six vignettes after the reliability and unidimensionality of the construct was confirmed. The results of the regression analysis showed that the proposed model was able to account for 42% of the differences in fear of crime. With regard to the socio-demographic variables (introduced in the first step and accounting for 31% of the variance), it was determined that women express the greatest fear of crime as they avoid being alone in their neighbourhoods at night, visit nearby friends less frequently and believe that the streets, shops, and woods in their immediate surroundings are not safe. Regarding the social-psychological variables (which accounted for the additional 11% of the variance), a higher level of fear was found in persons who believe that other people pose a threat to them or their property, imagine that someone would obstructed their path on their way home, think they are not capable of defending themselves from potential assailants or distrust people, both those they know and those they do not. A comparison with other research in the region showed that a larger number of social-psychological variables proved to be predictive for the residents of Belgrade while there were no significant differences in terms of the socio-demographic variables.Uprkos postojanju već bogate istraživačke prakse, konceptualizacija straha od kriminala, kao i načini njegovog merenja, još uvek jesu predmet intenzivnih teorijskih rasprava u kriminološkim i sociološkim disciplinama. Polazeći od potrebe teorijskog objašnjenja straha od kriminala, te uvažavanja istraživačkih nalaza o značajnom doprinosu modela koji objedinjuje socio-demografske i socijalno-psihološke faktore, postavljeno je istraživanje sa ciljem ispitivanja prediktivne sposobnosti ovih faktora, ali i poređenja dobijenih rezultata sa nalazima sličnih studija iz regiona. U analizi su korišćeni podaci iz regionalnog istraživačkog projekta 'Strah od kriminala u velikim gradovima', koji je, tokom 2009. godine, sproveden u glavnim gradovima bivših jugoslovenskih republika, na slučajnom višetapnom uzorku, uz primenu metode intervjuisanja u domaćinstvima. Za potrebe ovog rada, a u cilju izvođenja zaključaka o doprinosu varijabli objedinjenog modela u objašnjenju razlika u nivou straha od kriminala, primenjena je, na uzorku od 397 punoletnih ispitanika koji žive u urbanim delovima grada Beograda, hijerarhijska višestruka regresiona analiza. Strah od kriminala, kao zavisna varijabla, meren je preko šest hipotetičkih situacija, uz prethodnu potvrdu pouzdanosti i jednodimezionalnosti konstrukta. Rezultati regresione analize pokazali su da se 42% razlika u strahu od kriminala može objasniti predloženim modelom. U pogledu socio-demografskih varijabli (koje su unete u prvom koraku i objasnile 31% varijanse) utvrđeno je da veći strah od kriminala imaju osobe ženskog pola, koje izbegavaju da se noću same kreću po susedstvu, ređe posećuju prijatelje u susedstvu i misle da ulice, prodavnice i šume u neposrednom okriženju nisu sigurne. Kada su u pitanju socijalno-psihološke varijable (koje su objasnile dodatnih 11% varijanse), konstatovano je da viši nivo straha od kriminala imaju osobe koje misle da su one same ili njihova imovina ugroženi od strane drugih ljudi, koje zamišljaju da ih neko može presresti na putu do kuće, koje misle da nisu sposobne da se same odbrane od eventualnog napadača, te nemaju poverenja u druge ljude, kako nepoznate tako i poznate. U poređenju sa rezultatima drugih istraživanja u regionu, zapaženo je da se veći broj varijabli socijalno-psihološke prirode pokazuje prediktivnim za stanovnike Beograda, dok u pogledu socio-demografskih varijabli nema značajnijih razlika
Maltretiranje na radu i karijerno savetovanje
Get PDFPrevious researches in the mobbing area have pointed out a connection between mobbing and decreased job satisfaction, a drop in work productivity and the intention of resigning. If a job change is caused by mobbing it leaves consequences on making career decisions and career development of the individual. Victims of mobbing are less devoted to raising their competence and more towards avoidance of colleagues. In our research we start with case studies of mobbing, and then present an instrument for quick and efficient detection of mobbing. At the end we point out the significance of career counselling as a form of help in finding a mechanism to overcome mobbing as a work crisis. A short questionnaire with 10 items was tested on an convenient sample, it has proven to be highly reliable (Cronbach's Alpha=.853) and it has a statistically significant negative correlation with Job satisfaction as a criterion variable (r= -.478, p lt .001). We propose including mobbing measuring as a part of physical examination of employees, additional training should be provided to inform the employees about previous findings connected to mobbing, and, also, enforce the employees to use career counselling for overcoming problems that have arisen during mobbing.Dosadašnja istraživanja maltretiranja na radu ukazuju na povezanost maltretiranja na radu sa smanjenim zadovoljstvom poslom, padom produktivnosti u radu i namerom da se posao napusti. Ukoliko do promene posla dolazi zbog maltretiranja na radu to ostavlja posledice na karijerno odlučivanje i karijerni razvoj pojedinca. Žrtve maltretiranja na radu sve manje se posvećuju podizanju svojih kompetencija a sve više izbegavanju kolega na poslu. U našem istraživanju polazimo od prikaza slučajeva maltretiranja na radu, a zatim predstavljamo instrument za brzu i efikasnu detekciju pojave maltretiranja na radu. Na kraju ukazujemo na značaj karijernog savetovanja kao vrste pomoći u nalaženju mehanizma prevladavanja maltretiranja na radu kao krizne situacije na radu. Kratak upitnik od 10 tvrdnji je proveren na prigodnom uzorku, pokazao je visoku pouzdanost (Cronbach's Alpha=.853) i statistički značajnu korelaciju sa Zadovoljstvom poslom kao kriterijumskom varijablom (r= -.478, p lt .001). Kao preventivna mera predlaže se uvođenje merenja Maltretiranja na radu u okviru sistematskih pregleda zaposlenih, dodatna obuka radi informisanja zaposlenih o dosadašnjim saznanjima povezanim sa maltretiranjem na radu, kao i osnaživanje zaposlenih da koriste karijerno savetovanje u savladavanju problema nastalih maltretiranjem na radu
Regional civil security cooperation in South Eastern europe: The case of disaster preparedness and prevention initiative
Get PDFThe paper aims to explore the quality aspect of Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative as a regional organization in South Eastern Europe (DPPI SEE) striving to enhance the overall crisis management capacity in this crisis prone region. The research is based on secondary sources analysis and in depth interviews with stakeholders. The Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative for South Eastern Europe is the only regionally owned initiative in South Eastern Europe which includes 11 partner states (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Moldova, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia and Turkey) and two states with observers status (Hungary and Greece). The DPPI SEE was launched in November 2000 by the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe in order to facilitate the cooperation and coordination of the SEE countries in preventing, preparing and strengthening capabilities to respond to natural and man-made, i.e., technological, disasters. After transforming the Stability Pact for South Eastern European 2008, the DPPI SEE came under the umbrella of Regional Cooperation Council. In the same year, a Memorandum of Understanding, as the only legal basis regulating its objectives, structure and decisionmaking process, was signed by partner countries. DPPI SEE activities are on capacity building of partner countries aimed to enhance disaster preparedness and prevention through disaster management education and training courses, including organization of workshops, seminars, conferences, etc. Significant achievements have been made throughout the implementation of several regionally owned projects. Nevertheless, besides the important results that have been achieved in the work of the DPPI SEE to date, certain weaknesses and shortcomings have been demonstrated. The DPPI is now at some sort of milestone anticipating the new Memorandum of Understanding
