Comparing dental sizes between boys and girls in the Bronze age Mokrin necropolis (2100-1800 BC)
No full textData on the dimensions of the teeth of girls and boys in the Bronze Age are almost non-existent due to the limitations in determining the sex of children based on their skeletal remains. A unique opportunity to study dental dimorphism among 57 Bronze Age children is provided by the fact that their biological sex was previously determined through peptide analysis. Our analysis included a metrical study of teeth from 24 boys and 33 girls who lived between 2100 and 1800 BC, buried at the Maros culture necropolis in Mokrin (Banat, Serbia). The mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters of permanent maxillary and mandibular molars were measured on an optical digitizing device. For this research, we have also measured the same diameters on all adults with available teeth and estimated sex by standard anthropological analysis. All the results were then compared to calculate the sexual dimorphism of the Bronze Age Maros population buried in Mokrin cemetery. Also, we compared the obtained results between children and adults. This way we gain insight into sexual dimorphism and differences in dimorphism expression in various ages in the Mokrin population, as well as the question of whether sexual dimorphism is noticeable in the teeth of boys and girls/men and women in Maros communities.The 31th European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting (Interwined pasts), Belgrade Virtual, 2-6 September 2025 - Saopštenje štampano u izvod
In the Search of Yugoslav Heroes: The Construction of Common Medieval Heroes in the Yugoslav Interwar Historiography
No full textStvaranje jugoslovenske države nakon Prvog svetskog rata odrazilo se i na istoriografiju. Malobrojne profesionalne istoričare, okupljene oko univerziteta u Beogradu, Zagrebu i Ljubljani, novonastala politička situacija usmerila je ka reinterpretaciji dotadašnjih, najčešće partikularnih, nacionalnih istorijskih narativa. Predmet istraživanja u ovom radu biće radovi jugoslovenskih međuratnih istoričara koji su, analizirajući prošlost „jugoslovenskih plemena”/„jugoslovenskog naroda”, u njoj pronalazili zajedničke srednjovekovne heroje čija su pregnuća bila preteče potonjeg jugoslovenskog ujedinjenja 1918. godine. Analizirajući reprezentaciju zajedničkih heroja u istoriografskim radovima Stanoja Stanojevića, Vladimira Ćoro-vića, Viktora Novaka, Ferda Šišića i Milka Kosa, posvetićemo se zajedničkim karakteristikama i razlikama u strategijama konstruisanja istorijskog narativa u tri najvažnija centra jugoslovenske istoriografske produkcije. Najpre, definisaćemo ograničen broj istorijskih ličnosti koje su isticane kao najznačajniji srpsko-hrvatsko-slovenački (jugoslovenski) heroji srednjovekovlja. Zatim, bavićemo se pitanjem čime su oni zaslužili značajno mesto u nasta-jućem jugoslovenskom istorijskom narativu i u kom su odnosu međuratne predstave o srednjovekovnim herojima sa predratnim.The creation of the Yugoslav state after the First World War also
had an impact on historiography. The new political situation prompted the
small number of professional historians, gathered around the universities in
Belgrade, Zagreb, and Ljubljana, to reinterpret existing, often particularistic,
national historical narratives. The subject of this paper will be the works of
Yugoslav interwar historians who, in analyzing the past of the “Yugoslav tribes”/“Yugoslav people”, identified common medieval heroes whose endeavors were seen as precursors to the subsequent Yugoslav unification in 1918.
We will define a limited number of historical figures who were highlighted as
the most significant Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian (Yugoslav) heroes of the medieval period. Next, we will address the question of what earned them a prominent place in the emerging Yugoslav historical narrative and how the interwar heroes differed from their prewar counterparts

Far Right in Serbian political thought Dragoš Kalajić as a model and symbol of contemporary Serbian Far Right
No full textU radu se prvo teorijski određuju krajnja, ekstremna i radikalna
desnica, a zatim se misao i delanje Dragoša Kalajića smeštaju u kontekst idejnih
strujanja na evropskoj krajnjoj desnici 1971-2024. Ovo poluvekovno razdoblje se
ugrubo deli na tri podrazdoblja: 1) do obrazovanja višestranačkog sistema 1971-
1989; 2) od obrazovanja višestranačkog sistema do Kalajićeve smrti 1989-2005;
3) nakon Kalajićeve smrti. Prvo razdoblje je određeno Kalajićevim preuzimanjem
ideja od Đulija Evole i njegovim praćenjem evropske „nove desnice“. Drugo se
pak odlikuje obrazovanjem „srpske nove desnice“, tj. jednog uskog kruga krajnje
desničarskih sledbenika, ekstremno-desničarske Srpske narodne obnove i njene
paravojne jedinice „Beli orlovi“, ali i Kalajićevim okretanjem Rusiji i dijalogu s
idejama Aleksandra Dugina u kontekstu ratova za jugoslovensko nasleđe. Treće je
obeleženo sve jačim posthumnim idejnim uticajem Kalajića na domaće akademske
pisce radikalno-desničarskog usmerenja. Primenjen je teorijsko-istraživački pristup
kritike ideologije u cilju objašnjenja činjenice da je podražavalac Đulija Evole
objavio tri knjige kod uglednih izdavača u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji, bio poštovan
od kraja socijalizma među ekstremnim desničarima, kao i to da je postao uzor i
simbol intelektualcima iz matice intelektualnog života koji su se nedavno preobratili
u radikalne desničare.The paper theoretically defines far right, extreme right and radical
right. Afterwards, it embedds thought and practice of Dragoš Kalajić in the
context of various ideological streamings within the European far right 1971-
2024. This half-century period can be roughly divided into three subperiods: 1) from the first Kalajić’s books till multi-party system formation 1971-1989; 2) from
multy party-system formation till Kalajić’s death 1989-2005; 3) after Kalajić’s
death. The first one was determined by Kalajić’s adoption of Giulio Evola’s and
the New Right ideas. The second one was related to Wars of Yugoslav succession,
formation of the ”Serbian New Right“, consisted of Kalajić’s closest extreme right
followers, extreme right Serbian National Renewal and its paramilitary unit White
Eagles, and Kalajić’s orientation towards Russia and Alexander Dugin’s ideas. The
third one was marked by posthumous ideological Kalajić’s influence on Serbian
academic authors of radical right orientation. Ideology-critical approach reveals
reasons behind the fact that an Evola’s epigon was enabled to publish three books
at reputable publishers in former Yugoslavia, and has been highly respected among
extreme rightists since the end of socialist Yugoslavia. By the same token, the paper
explains why Dragoš Kalajić has recently become a role model and symbol for the
mainstream intellectuals who converted to radical right ideas
Some Characteristics of Abstracts in Scientific Research Papers in French
No full textНаучна комуникација праћена јасно дефинисаним
правилима која се односе на формалне, језичке и садржинске
аспекте има за циљ да на јасан, ефикасан и недвосмислен
начин омогући пренос научних знања. Зато би аутор тре-
бало да се дистанцира у односу на текст, да у њему прикаже
чињенице на неутралан начин, језгровито и без редундант-
ности. Истраживања изложена у научноистраживачком
раду присутна су увек и у краћој верзији – апстракту, који
има утврђену структуру и сврху да сажето и јасно изложи
главни садржај чланка. Предмет ове мини пилот-студије је
испитивање језичких елемената и структура које обезбеђују
објективност и језичку економију у апстрактима писаним на
француском језику из области друштвено-хуманистичких
и биомедицинских наука. Студија има за циљ да утврди
учесталост и потенцијалне разлоге јављања или изостанка
тих елемената као и да провери оправданост продубљенијих
истраживања у овој области. Полазна претпоставка је да ће
заступљеност и учесталост јављања личних заменица, уни-
персоналних глагола и глаголских конструкција, партиципа
презента, герундива и пасива бити значајне, с обзиром на
то да се ови елементи сматрају језичким средствима који
доприносе деперсонализацији и неутралности. Очекивано
је и да ће апстракти структурно одговарати упутству ау-
торима, као једном од техничких захтева часописа. Ипак,
резултати показују да заступљеност тих језичких средстава
није онолика колика би се могла очекивати у овом типу
текста. Оно што, међутим, остаје типично за апстракт као
својеврсни жанр, јесте значајно присуство резимирајућих
и сажимајућих језичких средстава.Scientific communication, governed by clearly defined formal, linguistic, and content-related rules, aims to convey scientific knowledge to the scientific community in an objective, neutral, precise, and unambiguous manner. Consequently, authors strive to distance themselves from their text, focusing on the research itself and eliminating redundant elements without clear purpose. In French, these requirements can be met through the specific use of personal pronouns, passive constructions, impersonal verbs/structures, tenses, moods, sentence modes, participial and infinitival forms, nominalizations, and relative clauses. Given the growing volume of scientific papers and journals, researchers
face the challenge of presenting their research concisely to capture the reader’s interest. In this context, the abstract plays a crucial role. Universally recognized in scientific circles as an essential component of a research paper, the abstract follows a structured format and succinctly summarizes the article’s main content, making it a distinct genre.
Building on these linguistic principles, this mini pilot study examines the elements
and structures that ensure neutrality and linguistic economy in French abstracts within the humanities, social, and biomedical sciences, aiming to determine their frequency, reasons for their presence or absence, and the need for further research in this area. The study hypothesized that the occurrence and frequency of the examined linguistic tools would be significant, and that the abstracts would structurally align with the technical requirements set by journals. The results revealed the presence of elements ensuring objectivity and linguistic economy, though their distribution was uneven. Notably, pronouns like on and the authorial we were absent, and the use of impersonal verbs, constructions, and gerunds was minimal. Abstracts predominantly featured forms that promote conciseness
(e.g., anaphoric use of personal pronouns, present participles replacing relative
clauses, passive constructions without an expressed agent or auxiliary verb). Therefore, the hypothesis that these elements would be widely represented in the corpus was only partially confirmed. Additionally, it can be inferred that the abstracts, as an introduction to a scientific article, is primarily oriented towards concise informativeness. In some abstracts, certain forms appeared more frequently, suggesting that scientific texts are not entirely resistant to the influence of personal style. Thus, the hypothesis that authors strictly follow the guidelines set by scientific journals was not proven. While the findings are limited by the small corpus size, they underscore the relevance of further research in this area
Ka tome da postanete “matematička osoba”: odnos između emocija postignuća, ličnih uverenja i matematičkog identiteta
No full textThe current study explored the relationship between mathematics beliefs (MB) (perceived competence, intrinsic value, extrinsic value and cost), academic emotions (AE) (anxiety, boredom and enjoyment), mathematics identity (MI) and mathematics achievement (MA) among eight-, nine– and ten-year-old students. The model specified in path analysis proposed that MI is associated with MB and AE. Furthermore, according to this model, MI is associated with MA and perceived competence. Results show that the model fits the data, supporting the assumed relationship between the variables and thus possibly confirming MI has a strong influence on MB. However, the relationship between MB and AE was more ambiguous. Enjoyment was the only emotion linked to mathematics identity. Finally, MA was affected by perceived competence but not by mathematics identity. The findings confirm a robust circuit of associations between intrinsic value, enjoyment and MI, signalling the importance of tracking the development of student’s interest and MI. The lack of association between MI and MA, points to the need for an educational system that prioritises mastery-oriented goals instead of achievement-oriented ones.Prikazana studija je istraživala odnos između matematičkih uverenja (MB) (opažena kompetencija, unutrašnja vrednost, ekstrinzična vrednost i cena), akademskih emocija (AE) (anksioznost, dosada i uživanje), matematičkog identiteta (MI) i postignuća iz matematike (MA) među učenicima uzrasta osam, devet i deset godina. Model naveden u analizi puteva (eng. path analysis) je predložio da je MI povezan sa MB, i sa AE. Štaviše, MI je povezan sa AE i sa i sa percipiranom kompetencijom. Rezultati su potvrdili mogućnost da postoji snažan uticaj MI na MB, međutim odnos između MB i AE je bio dvosmisleniji. Uživanje je bila jedina emocija koja je, prema modelu, povezana sa matematičkim identitetom. Konačno, na MA je uticala percipirana kompetencija, ali ne i matematički identitet. Nalazi potvrđuju čvrsti krug veza između unutrašnje vrednosti, uživanja i MI, signalizirajući važnost praćenja razvoja interesovanja učenika i MI. Nedostatak povezanosti između MI i MA ukazuje na potrebu za obrazovnim sistemom koji daje prioritet ciljevima orijentisanim na ovladavanje umesto onih koji su orijentisani na postignuće
The Importance of Pride When Learning Math: The Influence of Academic Emotions and Motivation on Mathematics Achievement
No full textEmotions and motivation are important in students’
learning and achievement. This study explored how
discrete positive and negative emotions, alongside
motivational beliefs such as intrinsic value, utility, and
perceived competence, relate to students’ performance in
mathematics. A total of 644 Serbian high school students
completed questionnaires on their emotional and
motivational experiences in mathematics. Hierarchical
regression analysis showed that positive emotions,
particularly pride, were strong predictors of achievement,
while negative emotions had little effect. When
motivation was considered, pride and perceived
competence emerged as the most important factors, while
the impact of enjoyment declined. These results show the
close connection between how students feel and their
confidence in their abilities. They also point to the need
for more focus on positive emotions like pride, which may
encourage deeper engagement and better performance in
school. Understanding how these emotions develop in the
classroom could help teachers better support their
students' success.31st International Scientific Conference Empirical Studies in Psychology - March 28 – 30, 2025, Belgrade - Preliminarna verzija saopštenja u celin

No full textLandscape as practice: parks and rivers in the visual culture of Belgrade in the first half of the 20th Century
No full textРад се бави анализом различитих примера представа градске природе у визуелној култури модерног доба, са акцентом на примерима из сликарства, фотографије и разгледница. Историјски посматрано, јасно артикулисана свест о природи као аутономној категорији везује се за развој модерног друштва, а једна од централних карактеристика модерности јесте промењен однос човека према природи што је видљиво кроз апострофирање свеприсутности концепта слике природе, као и процесе музеализације и институализације природе у београдском друштву прве половине 20. века. У раду је поимање пејзажа трансформисано из категорије именице у категорију глагола, из пасивног у активни, жив процес, односно праксу. Овакав приступ омогућава дубље разумевање динамике између простора и друштва наглашавајући интерактивне и перформативне карактеристике природе, али и начине на које слика природе функционише као актер у конструисању стварности и друштвених односа, а не само као пасивни приказ, односно белешка простора. Методологија доминантно коришћена при истраживању темељи се на знањима студија визуелне културе, социјалне историје уметности и културне историје. Закључак указује да је интерпретацијом еволуције слике природе у српској визуелној култури прве половине 20. века могуће пратити развој друштва у оквиру ког се таква уметност артикулише, као и да слика природе, односно пејзаж никада нису аполитични. Сваки приказ природе носи слојеве културних, и друштвених детерминанти које рефлектују властити простор и време. Посебна пажња биће посвећена мотиву градских паркова и река.This paper analyses various representations of urban nature in the visual culture of the
modern era, with a particular focus on examples from painting, photography and postcards.
Historically, a clearly articulated awareness of nature as an autonomous category is closely
linked to the development of modern society. One of the defining features of modernity is
the transformed relationship between humans and nature, which becomes evident through
the pervasive presence of the concept of the image of nature, as well as through processes
of musealization and institutionalization of nature in Belgrade’s society during the first half
of the 20th century. In this study, the notion of landscape is reinterpreted as a verb; shifting
from a passive noun to an active, living process or practice. This perspective enables a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationship between space and identity, highlighting the
interactive and performative dimensions of nature, as well as the ways in which the image
of nature operates as an agent in the construction of reality and social relations, rather than
merely serving as a passive representation or spatial record. The research methodology is
primarily grounded in visual culture studies, the social history of art, and cultural history. The
conclusion argues that interpreting the evolution of the image of nature in Serbian visual culture of the early 20th century allows us to trace the development of the society in which such
art was produced. Moreover, it emphasizes that the image of nature – and of the landscape
in particular – is never politically neutral. Every depiction of nature embodies layers of cultural and social determinants that reflect its spatial and temporal context. Special attention
is paid throughout to motifs of urban parks and rivers.13. међународна научно-стручна конференција Зелени град и градитељско наслеђе, 10. октобар 2025., Београд, саопштење штампано у целин
Deconstructing the Idea behind the MADE IN Knowledge Atlas: Merging Technology, Human Creativity and the Interpretation of Cultural Heritage
No full textThe idea of creating an Atlas of World Knowledge, a microcosm all in one
place, is probably as old as humankind. It is still embodied in a variety of
collections, literary concepts, artworks, encyclopaedias and virtual creations.
The concept of knowing everything and remembering and preserving
at least one representative example from each layer of the world has
always been a utopian dream, however: an endless process in which at least
some of the puzzle is always missing. The MADE IN Platform for Contemporary
Crafts & Design is a research, design and heritage initiative fostering
collaboration and knowledge exchange between designers, craftspeople
and other experts in the fields of culture and science, and the Knowledge
Atlas — described by the project authors as a comprehensive repository of
transdisciplinary expertise and natural resources — is at its very core. With
over 100 multimedia entries recording traditional techniques, materials, processes
and modern innovations, it is an invaluable resource for exploring
craftsmanship, making and designing, not just in order to preserve traditional
processes but also to transform them into meaningful and sustainable
knowledge for the future. Published on the MADE IN website, the Atlas
comprises textual material and photographic and video documentation. In
order to better understand its potential, however, we must first return briefly
to the very idea of creating an atlas of knowledge
