Stojan Jovanovic - a state cadet and the author of French grammar
No full textStojan Jovanovic, called by the name of Cukic by his contemporaries, is
mainly known as a leader of Katanska buna (The Rebellion of Katanas) in 1844.
The subject of this paper is Jovanovic?s education in Serbia and Vienna. A
thesis statement is that Stojan Jovanovic, Filip Hristic, and Anastas
Jovanovic have enjoyed the favor and support of the Obrenovic family, to whom
they have been loyal in return. Stojan Jovanovic belonged to the first
generation of students who've graduated from all schools existing in Serbia
during Prince Milos?s reign - he has finished the primary school in Belgrade,
the High School, i.e. the Kragujevac Gymnasium in 1836, and has attended the
Military Academy in Pozarevac, Belgrade and Kragujevac between 1837 and 1838.
In 1839. Jovanovic was appointed to the first group of state cadets who were
sent to study in Vienna. This generation of students was in many ways similar
to the one that attended the Belgrade Higher School (1808 - 1813). Jovanovic
stayed in Vienna for three years. For the first two years he has learned
French and German, preparing for the Law school. He has enrolled at the
Vienna University in the winter of 1841, and passed three exams by the end of
the school year. Several times he has asked the Ministry of education in
Belgrade to send him to study in Paris, but he was denied. On the initiative
of the emissary of the Serbian government, Jovan Sterija Popovic, Jovanovic
and other cadets have been withdrawn from the studies in Vienna. Between
1842. and 1844. Jovanovic has taken part in three rebellions against the
regime of Ustavobranitelji (the Defenders of the Constitution). In the summer
of 1844. in Vienna, Jovanovic has printed a manual for learning French,
French Grammar. Although it is a compilation, the manual is significant since
it has brought contemporary methods of learning French language to Serbian
readers. The papers end with a well founded presumption, based on the yet
unknown document, that Stojan Jovanovic has survived the Katanska buna in
1844.</jats:p
Stojan Novaković in Milan Đ. Milićević's Diary
No full textДневник српског књижевника, педагога, преводиоца, историчара и
етнолога Милана Ђ. Милићевића представља грађу од прворазредног значаја за политичку и
културну историју Србије. Милићевић је као хроничар различитих друштвених збивања дао
заокружен и уверљив преглед стања српског народа у последњој четвртини 19. века, а посебно
српске престонице у периоду који је Дневником обухваћен.
Aутор овог рада је покушао да на основу расположивих података пружи што целови тији приказ живота и рада Стојана Новаковића, истакнутог српског политичара, министра
и председника владе Србије, дипломате, филолога, историчара књижевности, хералдичара и
председника Српске краљевске академије, наравно из визуре Милићевића, његовог дугого дишњег блиског пријатеља и партијског саборца.
Милићевић је својим драгоценим, пластичним и реалистичним писањем омогућио да
боље сагледамо личност и свеукупну делатност Стојана Новаковића. Уверљивом хроничар ском нарацијом Милићевић је Новаковића очовечио, учинио га стварнијим, људскијим и жи вотнијим него што смо до сада имали прилике да га упознамо.Diary of Serbian writer, pedagogue, translator, historian and ethnologist Milan Đ.
Milićević, which he was keeping for 37 years (1869–1905), is a material of huge importance
for political and cultural history of Serbia. With his writing, Milićević, as a chronicler of
various social events, provided well-rounded and convincing overview of status of the
Serb people in the last quarter of the 19th century, and especially of Serbian capital in the
period covered by the Diary.
Using data found in the notes which were written into the Diary, the author of this
paper tried to provide an overall overview of life and work of Stojan Novaković, prominent
Serbian politician, minister and prime minister of Serbian government, diplomat,
philologist, literature historian, heraldist and president of the Royal-Serbian Academy, of
course from Milićević’s perspective, who was his long-time friend and partisan colleague.
By writing down everyday events into his Diary for years, Milićević, with his
precious, plastic and realistic writing, enabled us to have better view of character and
overall work of Stojan Novaković. With his convincing chronical narration, Milićević
brought Novaković to life, made him more realistic, more human and more vivid that we
ever had a chance to see. All layers, which were being painted for decades, were scrubbed
off of his character, turning him almost into semi-deity, idealizing him and his overall
work and creating idealized picture of time in which he lived and worked. By presenting
him to potential readers in a different light than before, and by providing new and little
known information about Novaković, Milićević pictured a person of flesh and blood, with
all his virtues and faults, numerous life problems and needs.Научни скупови / Српска академија наука и уметности ; књ. 172. Председништво ; књ. 1
Antonín Cyril Stojan (1851–1923) and the Union Congresses of Velehrad: New Documents from the Vatican Archives for a Better Understanding of His Legacy
No full textOn the occasion of the first centenary of the death of Antonin Cyril Stojan, Archbishop of Olomouc from 1921 to 1923, the article provides an original interpretation of some relevant aspects of his spiritual legacy. In analysing a number of documents kept in the Vatican Apostolic Archives (Archivio Apostolico Vaticano) and in the Archive of the Congregation for Oriental Churches (Archivio della Congregazione per le Chiese Orientali), the author outlines the peculiarity of Stojan’s contribution to the quest for unity among Christians. The organization of the seven Union Congresses of Velehrad, held from 1907 up to 1936, based on Stojan’s intuition, took place in a very difficult political and social context, including the First World War. Stojan showed how hope for a future good is not only linked to the present external conditions: it can be concretely cultivated in the forms granted by the age in which one lives. For this reason, even after his death, during the pontificate of Pius XI, the cycles of Congresses and moments of prayer and study of the Eastern Churches of the Byzantine liturgical tradition that Stojan had begun, continued. Regarding this original way of approaching interconfessional relations, some significant documents kept in the aforementioned Archives can shed light on two relevant dimensions of these cycles of Congresses, which remain faithful to the Catholic Church and rejecting proselytism as a means of spreading Catholicism
Stojan Novaković and his Era
No full textStojan Novaković (1842–1915) presented spiritual climate and
political trends in Serbia in the second half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century
in the best manner with his scientific opus and high ethical attitude while performing
state and diplomatic activities. He is an author of numerous articles in the field of historiography
and philology having permanent value, but also of testimonies having political and
memoiristic contents being precious for the understanding of phenomena of that time, full of
warnings about the need to overcome mutual division of the Serbs before the dangers threatening
from the external enemy. By studying the ambience of Serbian medieval countries he drew attention to
the trends that, as he used to claim, must not be repeated, which was once more confirmed in the statements
given in his writings dedicated to the birth of the Serbian modern state. Fruitful historiographic
activities related to the understanding of the Serbian past presented an extraordinary basis for his state
and diplomatic actions. Novaković was creator of entire political programme of Serbia of the 1880s
that was focused on the liberation and unification of all regions inhabited by the Serbian people. As a
politician, he was one of the founders and leaders of Progressive Party, Minister of Education in several
governments and creator of several educational laws. As for diplomacy, he was predetermined to work in
important European capital cities (Constantinople, Paris, Saint Petersburg), while as a statesman serving
as Prime Minister he had a major role in ending economic and political crisis in Serbia in the period
1895–1896 and the Annexation Crisis of 1908–1909. He distinguished himself with his energetic attitude
being a Member of Parliament in several convocations of the Parliament, and he was also a reputed
representative of Serbia at the Peace Conference in London in 1912–1913. He was also a Professor at
the Grande École, member of the Serbian Learned Society, Member of the Serbian Royal Academy and
its President in the period 1906–1915. He was a member of several foreign academies of sciences and
scientific associations. He also presided over the Serbian Literary Cooperative since its establishment.
Novaković’s rich scientific legacy preserved in the library funds as well as numerous documents having
been developed during his decades-long devoted activities related to the state affairs, which are stored
mainly in the Archives of Serbia and the Archives of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, present
sufficient reason to emphasize his high importance in the Serbian science and politics.Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts ; 14
A contribution to the study of the problem of the subjective motivations of pregnant women for undergoing abortion
No full textOn the basis of medical experience, the author outlines the causes for the subjective motivations of pregnant women to undergo abortions. In almost all cases, the primary cause, according to the author, is reduced to the sheer egoism of the contemporary person. As a suggestion for the rectification of this situation, the author unabashedly pleads for a biological and moral rebirth of the people, specifically the following: 1. to affirm the family in society. 2. to affirm healthy morality. 3. to institute sex education among the young. 4. to exert influence upon persons in power

No full textDiverting stoma is often performed in rectal cancer surgery for reducing the consequences of possible anastomotic failure. Closing of stoma follows in most cases after a few months. The aim of our study was to evaluate morbidity and mortality after diverting stoma closure and to identify risk factors for complications of this procedure
Pancreaticoduodenectomy for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head with venous resection
No full textRecent reports have shown that patients with vascular tumour invasion who undergo concurrent vascular resection can achieve long-term survival rates equivalent to those without vascular involvement requiring pancreaticoduodenectomy alone. There is no consensus about which patients benefit from the portal-superior mesenteric vein resection and there is no consensus about the best surgical technique of vessel reconstruction (resection with or without graft reconstruction). As published series are small the aim of this study was to evaluate our experience in pancreatectomies with en bloc vascular resection and reconstruction of vessels
