Media reporting on refugees and related public opinion in Serbia
In this chapter, the author considers the issue of media reporting on refugees in Serbia and related public opinion. At the beginning, the author gives some background information about refugee situation in Serbia from summer 2015 until May 2017. Because of the fact that Serbia is a European Union candidate, it is important to consider its progress in solving the refugee situation. In the media coverage of refugees in Serbia dominate humanitarian discourse and the necessity of finding an adequate solution for different challenges that can arise from "refugee crisis." On the other hand, the author indicates the existence of a different discourse that is mostly present on social networks and leads to the creation of moral panic in relation to refugees, especially in the context of rape. At the end of the chapter, the results of the research of citizens' attitudes on the refugee situation are presented
Ispitivanje uloge porodice u edukaciji dece o prirodnim katastrofama
Effective reduction of risks of natural disasters is only possible through the implementation of integrated education on natural disasters within the family, school and local community. Accordingly, the subject of quantitative research is the examination of the condition and influencing factors on the education of students on natural disasters within the family. In addition, the paper examines the level of students' motivation for education within the family, but also within the school, in order to more comprehensively review their attitudes in this respect. For the purposes of the research, a multi-point random sample was used and in the first step, using the list of all primary and secondary schools in Belgrade, 18 of them were selected randomly. In the second step, using the lists of classrooms in which classes were held, classrooms were selected and respondents who attended the classes were interviewed. With a high percentage of answers, 3548 students were interviewed in the above mentioned number of primary and secondary schools. The results of the survey show that 70.7% of the students pointed out that they were educated within the family, 57.4% would like to be educated about natural disasters, 18% would like to be educated within the family, and 51.9% within the school. Inferential statistical analyses show that education within the family is statistically significantly influenced by gender, age, father and mother education, grade and school achievement. The scientific and social importance of the research is reflected in the establishment of a representative empirical basis that can serve to decision-makers when establishing an integrated disaster risk reduction system through education.Efikasno smanjenje rizika od prirodnih katastrofa moguće je sprovesti jedino kroz implementaciju integrisanog obrazovanja o prirodnim katastrofama u okviru porodice, škole i lokalne zajednice. Rukovodeći se time, predmet kvantitativnog istraživanja predstavlja ispitivanje stanja i faktora uticaja na edukaciju učenika o prirodnim katastrofama u okviru porodice. Pored toga, u radu se ispituje i nivo motivisanosti učenika za edukaciju u okviru porodice, ali i u okviru škole, kako bi se sveobuhvatnije sagledali njihovi stavovi u tom pogledu. U realizaciji istraživanja korišćen je višeetapni slučajni uzorak i u prvom koraku je korišćenjem liste svih osnovnih i srednjih škola u Beogradu na slučajan način odabrano njih 18. U drugom koraku, korišćenjem spiskova učionica u kojima se održava nastava, izabrane su učionice i anketirani učenici koji su prisustvovali nastavi. Sa procentom odgovora od 98%, anketirano je 3.548 učenika u izabranim osnovnim i srednjim školama. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je 70,7% učenika istaklo da je edukovano u okviru porodice, 57,4% bi želelo da bude edukovano o prirodnim katastrofama, 18% bi želelo da se edukuje u okviru porodice, a 51,9% u okviru škole. Inferencijalne statističke analize pokazuju da na edukaciju u okviru porodice statistički značajno utiču pol, godine starosti, obrazovanje oca i majke, razred i prosek u školi. Naučni i društveni značaj istraživanja ogleda se u upostavljanju reprezentativne empirijske osnove koja može poslužiti donosiocima odluka prilikom uspostavljanja integrisanog sistema smanjenja rizika od katastrofa kroz obrazovanje
Metodološki profil dekonstrukcije opće postavljanje
This paper addresses the possibility of deconstruction as a method. On many different occasions, Derrida rejected the possibility of deconstruction as a new method of reading and interpreting because, every time, it adapts to the discourse to which it relates, but he also attempted not to include in it anything that was not already marked or announced by its existing organization. Nevertheless, simultaneously, he acknowledges the fact that some elements, rules, and procedures may, and even have to be, repeated and transferred from one text to another, in the extent to which they repeat and reproduce typically logocentric relations, such as those between inside and outside, or between centre and margin. This duplicity is then examined as a difference between the immanent and transcendent criticism. According to Derrida, the point is that these two approaches intertwine and interplay in such a way that it is being done in a space neither wholly inside nor completely outside the sense units that they affect – on the margin. In addition, all of this, eventually, is displayed as a draft for a general strategy of deconstruction
Bones as forensic evidence
Forensic anthropologists use the theory and techniques of biological anthropology to determine how recently individuals lived and died. They study skeletal remains from crime scenes, wars and mass disasters within the very recent past to reveal the life history and identity of an individual, and to understand the context in which death occurred. During excavation, in order to ensure full recovery and good contextual information, osteologists rely on archaeological techniques to find, document and remove skeletal remains from their in situ conditions. At the crime scene, an anthropologist makes a preliminary determination of whether the remains are human or nonhuman and whether more than one individual is present. Once exposed and mapped, individual bones are tagged, bagged, and removed to the laboratory for more detailed curation and examination. A strict chain of custody is established to ensure that the remains cannot be tampered with, in case they represent evidence in a court of law. Once the initial inventory has been completed, a scientist sets about evaluating the clues that the skeleton reveals about the life and death of the individual. The first step in this process is constructing the biological profile of the individual, which includes determining the age, sex, height, ancestry and disease status. Ultimately, forensic anthropologists try to establish the identity of a victim. Once they have several possibilities, they can compare a number of different ante-mortem records (dental records, surgical implants, DNA records, and the matching of ante-mortem and post-mortem X-rays) to try to establish a person’s identity. Although forensic anthropologists most often work on cases of lone victims of homicide, suicide, or accidental death, they are also called to the scenes of mass fatalities, to search for soldiers killed in combat, and to investigate human rights abuses that result in hidden or mass graves
Ekonomski aspekti korporativne bezbednosti
After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc as an integral part of the transitional processes, the process of dismantling of the welfare state took place almost invisibly. This process minimized the impact of institutional mechanisms in all spheres of human activity in both transition and developed capitalist countries. The process is particularly prominent in the sphere of social policy, but also in the business environment of business entities. Business entities under the pressure of globalization, which implies liberalization of trade and business, keep losing the protection of state institutions, which was implied earlier. The default privileged position on the domestic market and the protection of the business system from the hostile operation of competition is becoming a past. New business opportunities offered by the global market bring with it new challenges in terms of business success and survival on such a market. Corporations are forced to take into account a number of parameters that affect the results of their activities when planning and realizing their operations. A very important moment is the economic environment and the conditions of life and work of the users of their services, as well as the employees in the system. The concept of human security provides a good analytical framework for understanding new conditions and identifying important factors for business success.Nakon pada Berlinskog zida i raspada istočnog bloka kao sastavni deo tranzicionih procesa, skoro neprimetno, odvijao se i proces demontaže države blagostanja. Ovaj proces je minimizirao uticaj institucionalnih mehanizama u svim sferama ljudskih aktivnosti, kako u tranzicionim, tako i u razvijenim kapitalističkim zemljama. Proces posebno dolazi do izražaja u sferi socijalne politike, ali i u uslovima poslovanja privrednih subjekata. Privredni subjekti pod pritiskom globalizacije, koja je bazirana na liberalizaciji trgovine i poslovanja, gube zaštitu državnih institucija koja je ranije postojala. Taj podrazumevani privilegovani položaj na domaćem tržištu i zaštita poslovnog sistema od neprijateljskog delovanja konkurencije postaje prošlost. Nove poslovne prilike koje nudi globalno tržište sa sobom nose i nove izazove u pogledu uspešnosti poslovanja i opstanka na tržištu. Korporacije su prinuđene da prilikom planiranja i realizacije poslovanja vode računa o većem broju parametara koji utiču na rezultate njihovih aktivnosti. U datim okolnostima je veoma važno voditi računa o ekonomskom ambijentu i uslovima rada, kako korisnika njihovih usluga, tako i zaposlenih u sistemu. Koncept ljudske bezbednosti daje dobar analitički okvir za razumevanje novih uslova i prepoznavanje najvažnijih faktora za uspešnost poslovanja korporacija
Evaluacija u obrazovanju - pokušaji i dileme
The subject of the paper is a critical review of both the importance and the limitations of the evaluation process in education. The key question raised hereis whether it is enough to consider evaluation in technical, metric and statistical terms or it is necessary to also view the context in which evaluation forms part of the entire educational cycle, guided by broader objectives and roles of education in society. The underlying cause of the all too frequent recourse to quantification in order to convey the qualitative characteristics of educational work is the altered attitude towards the role of knowledge and education in modern society. The idea of corporate-economic thinking correlates with the reduced notion of education where efficiency, practical applicability and economic exploitability, which are measured by standardized evaluation methods, are favoured over diversity, freedom and autonomy. That way the more flexible evaluation methods, more open to many other relevant qualities of the participants in the educational process or to the characteristics of the system as a whole, which require long-term, more sophisticated analyses, more discriminating procedures and a qualitative approach, are superseded or omitted. Consequently, evaluation leads to the adjustment of the educational process according to the predefined reduced features being evaluated, creating an environment that some authors describe as a situation where 'the tail wags the head', in which evaluation is meant to govern the entirety of a process that is not fullyencompassed by the reduced evaluation procedure. Such a perspective also reduces the wealth of legitimate features and meanings that education is supposed to develop and foster.Tema rada je kritički osvrt na značaj, ali i limitiranosti procesa evaluacije u obrazovanju, kao i razmatranje da li je dovoljno govoriti o evaluaciji u tehničkom, metrijskom, statističkom smislu, ili je nužno sagledavanje konteksta u kom je evaluacija deo celine obrazovnog ciklusa, rukovođena širim ciljevima i ulogama koje obrazovanje ima u društvu. U osnovi prečestog posezanja za kvantifikovanjem, da bi se izrazile kvalitativne osobine obrazovne delatnosti, leži izmenjen odnos prema ulozi znanja i obrazovanja u savremenom društvu. Ideji poslovno-ekonomskog mišljenja odgovara suženo shvatanje obrazovanja u kome efikasnost, praktična primenljivost i ekonomska isplativost, koje se mere standardizovanim metodama evaluacije, imaju prednost nad raznolikošću, slobodom i autonomijom. Zbog toga bivaju potisnute ili potpuno izostaju fleksibilnije metode evaluacije, otvorenije za brojna druga relevantna svojstva učesnika u obrazovnom procesu ili karakteristike sistema u celini. Izbegavanjem metoda koje zahtevaju dugotrajne, prefinjenije analize, diskriminativnije postupke i kvalitativni pristup, evaluacija često može voditi prilagođavanju obrazovnog procesa unapred zacrtanim, redukovanim stavkama koje se vrednuju, stvarajući okruženje koje neki autori predstavljaju kao situaciju u kojoj 'rep maše glavom', u kojoj se evaluacijom želi zapovedati celini procesa koji suženi evalutivni postupak ne obuhvata u potpunosti. Ovakvom perspektivom sužava se i bogatstvo legitimnih svojstava i značenja koje bi obrazovanje trebalo da razvija i neguje
