Abstract. The Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) was operated on board the German High Altitude and LOng range (HALO) research aircraft during the PGS (POLSTRACC/GW-LCYCLE/SALSA) aircraft campaigns in the Arctic winter 2015/2016. Research flights were conducted from 17 December 2015 until 18 March 2016 between 80° W–30° E longitude and 25° N–87° N latitude. From the GLORIA infrared limb emission measurements, two dimensional cross sections of temperature, HNO3, O3, ClONO2, H2O and CFC-12 are retrieved. During 15 scientific flights of the PGS campaigns the GLORIA instrument measured more than 15 000 atmospheric profiles at high spectral resolution. Dependent on flight altitude and tropospheric cloud cover, the profiles retrieved from the measurements typically range between 5 and 14 km, and vertical resolutions between 400 m and 1000 m are achieved. The estimated total (random and systematic) 1σ errors are in the range of 1 to 2 K for temperature and 10 % to 20 % relative error for the discussed trace gases. Comparisons to in-situ instruments deployed on board HALO have been performed. Over all flights of this campaign the median differences and median absolute deviations between in-situ and GLORIA observations are −0.75 K ± 0.88 K for temperature, −0.03 ppbv ± 0.85 ppbv for HNO3, −3.5 ppbv ± 116.8 ppbv for O3, −15.4 pptv ± 102.8 pptv for ClONO2, −0.13 ppmv ± 0.63 ppmv for H2O and −19.8 pptv ± 46.9 pptv for CFC-12. These differences are mainly within the expected performances of the cross-compared instruments. Events with stronger deviations are explained by atmospheric variability and different sampling characteristics of the instruments. Additionally comparisons of GLORIA HNO3 and O3 with measurements of the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instrument show highly consistent structures in trace gas distributions and illustrate the potential of the high spectral resolution limb-imaging GLORIA observations for resolving narrow mesoscale structures in the UTLS.

Abstract. Sensor-to-sensor variability is a source of error common to all
geoscientific instruments that needs to be assessed before comparative and
applied research can be performed with multiple sensors. Consistency among
sensor systems is especially critical when subtle features of the surrounding
terrain are to be identified. Cosmic-ray neutron sensors (CRNSs) are a recent
technology used to monitor hectometre-scale environmental water
storages, for which a rigorous comparison study of numerous co-located
sensors has not yet been performed. In this work, nine stationary CRNS probes
of type “CRS1000” were installed in relative proximity on a grass patch
surrounded by trees, buildings, and sealed areas. While the dynamics of the
neutron count rates were found to be similar, offsets of a few percent from
the absolute average neutron count rates were found. Technical adjustments of
the individual detection parameters brought all instruments into good
agreement. Furthermore, we found a critical integration time of 6 h above
which all sensors showed consistent dynamics in the data and their RMSE fell
below 1 % of gravimetric water content. The residual differences between
the nine signals indicated local effects of the complex urban terrain on the
scale of several metres. Mobile CRNS measurements and spatial simulations
with the URANOS neutron transport code in the surrounding area (25 ha)
have revealed substantial sub-footprint heterogeneity to which CRNS detectors
are sensitive despite their large averaging volume. The sealed and constantly
dry structures in the footprint furthermore damped the dynamics of the CRNS-derived soil moisture. We developed strategies to correct for the sealed-area
effect based on theoretical insights about the spatial sensitivity of the
sensor. This procedure not only led to reliable soil moisture estimation
during dry-out periods, it further revealed a strong signal of intercepted
water that emerged over the sealed surfaces during rain events. The presented
arrangement offered a unique opportunity to demonstrate the CRNS performance
in complex terrain, and the results indicated great potential for further
applications in urban climate research.

Abstract. Global modeling of atmospheric composition is a grand computational challenge because of the need to simulate large coupled systems of chemical species interacting with transport on all scales. Off-line chemical transport models (CTMs), where the chemical continuity equations are solved using meteorological data as input, have the advantages of simplicity and reproducibility, and are important vehicles for developing knowledge that can then be transferred to Earth system models. However, they have generally not been designed to take advantage of massively parallel computing architectures. Here we develop such a high-performance capability (GCHP) for GEOS-Chem, a CTM driven by GEOS meteorological data from the NASA Goddard Earth Observation System (GEOS) and used by hundreds of research groups worldwide. GCHP is a grid-independent implementation of GEOS-Chem using the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) that permits the same standard model to be run in a distributed-memory framework, scalable from six cores on a single node up to hundreds of cores distributed across a network. GCHP also allows GEOS-Chem to take advantage of the native GEOS cubed-sphere grid for greater accuracy and computational efficiency in simulating transport. GCHP enables GEOS-Chem simulations to be conducted with high computational scalability up to at least 500 cores, so that global simulations of stratosphere-troposphere oxidant-aerosol chemistry at C180 spatial resolution (~0.5° × 0.625°) or finer become routinely feasible.
Optimization of an Urban Monitoring Network for Retrieving an Unknown Point Source Emission

Published: March 2018

Abstract. This study presents a methodology for the optimization of a monitoring network of sensors measuring the polluting substances in an urban environment with a view to estimate an unknown emission source. The methodology was presented by coupling the Simulated Annealing algorithm with the renormalization inversion technique and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling approach. Performance of a network was analyzed by reconstructing the unknown continuous point emissions using the concentration measurements from the sensors in that optimized network. This approach was successfully applied and validated with 20 trials of the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) tracer field experiment in an urban-like environment. The optimal networks in the MUST urban region enabled to reduce the size of original network (40-sensors) to ~ 1/3rd (13-sensors) and to 1/4th (10-sensors). The 10 and 13 sensors optimal networks have estimated the averaged location errors of 19.20 m and 17.42 m, respectively, which are comparable to 14.62 m from the original 40-sensors network. In 80 % trials, emission rates with the 10 and 13 sensors networks were estimated within a factor of two which are also comparable to 75 % from the original network. This study presents the first application of the renormalization data-assimilation approach for the optimal network design to estimate a continuous point source emission in an urban-like environment.

Abstract. Since October 19, 2016, and in the framework of Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS), Mercator Ocean delivers in real-time daily services (weekly analyses and daily 10-day forecasts) with a new global 1/12° high resolution (eddy-resolving) monitoring and forecasting system. The model component is the NEMO platform driven at the surface by the IFS ECMWF atmospheric analyses and forecasts. Observations are assimilated by means of a reduced-order Kalman filter with a 3D multivariate modal decomposition of the forecast error. Along track altimeter data, satellite sea surface temperature, sea ice concentration and in situ temperature and salinity vertical profiles are jointly assimilated to estimate the initial conditions for numerical ocean forecasting. A 3D-VAR scheme provides a correction for the slowly-evolving large-scale biases in temperature and salinity. This paper describes the recent updates applied to the system and discusses the importance of fine tuning of an ocean monitoring and forecasting system. It details more particularly the impact of the initialization, the correction of precipitation, the assimilation of climatological temperature and salinity in the deep ocean, the construction of the forecast error covariance and the adaptive tuning of observations error on increasing the realism of the analysis and forecasts. The scientific assessment of the ocean estimations are illustrated with diagnostics over some particular years, assorted with time series over the time period 2007–2016. The overall impact of the integration of all updates on the products quality is also discussed, highlighting a gain in performance and reliability of the current global monitoring and forecasting system compared to its previous version.

Published: March 2018

Uma das preocupações do uso crônico de anticoncepcionais orais são as reações adversas que podem advir de seu uso. Estes podem estar eventualmente, associados a queixas como cefaleia, dores em membros inferiores, alterações de humor, entre outras. Além disso, estudos constataram que mais de 40% das usuárias possuíam um ou mais fatores de risco para o seu uso. Desta forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi quantificar as principais reações adversas observadas pelas usuárias de anticoncepcionais orais. Este estudo foi realizado através de um questionário disponibilizado na internet, destinado a mulheres que fazem uso de anticoncepcionais orais. Foram analisados 205 questionários respondidos por internautas de uma rede social. Em relação aos resultados 86% entrevistada fazem uso de anticoncepcionais orais e 68,75% obtiveram alguma reação adversa durante o uso, a troca no mínimo uma vez foi relatada por 74,34% das mulheres. Conclui-se que os anticoncepcionais orais apresentam reações adversas como dor de cabeça, enjoo e mudança de humor, que são capazes de motivar as mulheres a mudarem de anticoncepcional ou descontinuaram o tratamento. A falta de conhecimento fica implícito quando detectamos que a mudança ocorreu de 2 a 4 vezes e em sua maioria por indicação.
Exploring the Existence of Short-run Initial Public Offering (IPO) Underpricing at Three Different Stock Exchange Markets in Japan
Authors: Shimizu Yoshiki , Takei Hideki
Published: March 2018

This study conducted the examination of the short-run performance of IPO stocks in the Japanese market by measuring daily AAR/CAAR of sample IPO stocks.. The study did so, in order to detect the positive initial abnormal return of sample IPO stocks as well as the short-run IPO underpricing that was observed by Ibbotson (1975) and McDonald and Fisher (1972) in the US market, and Chang (2011) in the Taiwanese market. The finding was that unlike findings in prior research, this study did not discover the positive initial abnormal returns for sample IPO firms in the Japanese market on the event day with statistical significance. Thereby, the short-run IPO underpricing did not occur in the Japanese market and it is inferred that offer prices of IPOs in the Japanese market are priced rationally, reflecting all available pieces of information at the time of offering. The implication of this finding for Efficient Market Hypothesis is that in the short-run, market efficiency holds well for the Japanese market. Findings from the examination on short-run performance of IPO stocks in the Japanese market has enabled this study to answer the research question: Does short-run IPO underpricing exist at stock exchange markets in Japan? The answer is, the short-run IPO underpricing did not exist.

Authors: Kamakia Antony , Guoqing Shi , Zaman Mohammad , Junbi Zhou
Published: March 2018

Kenya has adopted a comprehensive development path to accelerate and create suitable conditions for sustainable development as outlined in the “Vision 2030.” A key strategy is the catalytic role of bilateral loans and finances which have increased in manifolds over the years. However, a growing and critical discourse has emerged about the social-ecological sustainability in the Chinese-financed development projects, within the context of China-Africa engagement policy. China is playing significant role in the economic growth of developing countries and in particular, critical investments in productive sectors. This paper examines the development-induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR) framework and explores the social-ecological impacts and outcomes of some selected Chinese-financed projects in Kenya. The paper also examines the various social-ecological guidelines and standards issued by Chinese authorities over-time, for their overseas investments and operations. It concludes that contemporary Chinese-financed development and investments in Kenya are resulting in increasing, improving and sustainable social-ecological outcomes.
Globalizing Finance: Nostalgia, Desire, and the Market in Contemporary Shanghai
Authors: Finch Laura
Published: March 2018

This paper reads Tash Aw's Shanghai-set Five Star Billionaire (2014) as a novel that provides an alternative theory of global finance than the standard model that takes Wall Street as its blueprint. Rather than the abstract techno-futurity typically associated with finance in Anglo-American literature, Aw's novel shows that contemporary finance in Shanghai is a form of capital created and experienced through nostalgia.
The Debate with Method in the History of Literary Studies
Authors: Hewson Mark
Published: March 2018

Drawing on a number of histories of literary studies from the United States, Britain, and France, this article reexamines the debates on the institutional self-definition of the subject. The ideals associated with research and scholarship, it is argued (following an analysis proposed by Hans Blumenberg), have their historical origin in the concept of method introduced by Descartes, and subsequently central to the natural and the social sciences. This ideal is here argued to represent an unacknowledged line of continuity between the philologists and historical scholars with whom academic literary studies began, the New Critics, and contemporary theoretical modes of literary studies. This article points to the dissidence to this model which appears in each of the national traditions of literary studies. This dissidence, it is argued, has its foundation and its legitimation in the distinction between the subject of reading (and criticism) and the subject of method. While this distinction was made as an objection to the research model, it could not have been articulated prior to the establishment of literary studies as a field of academic research; in this sense, it can be said to be the question that the field itself has posed, and ought to be integrated into its self-understanding.
Noble Errors: Examples of Love and Tragedy from Literature, Philosophy, and Psychoanalysis
Authors: Stromberg David
Published: March 2018

This article deals with genetic connections between Fyodor Dostoevsky and Catherine Breillat—using psychoanalysis and philosophy that integrates Plato and Aristotle with Kleinian psychoanalysis. The article develops the notion of two kinds of love, good and bad, distinguishing Freud's work on instincts referencing Plato's Symposium, from Klein's interest in the function of instincts in human relations. The article discusses issues of intimacy—specifically destructive and creative forces—as conflicting forces to better understand the dynamics of tragic love stories. It then discusses the way that understandings of tragedy, comedy, and tragicomedy help us conceptualize mistakes and learning in intimate relations. It does this by considering the notion of “noble error” discussed in Plato's Symposium, and the notion of tragedy in Aristotle's Poetics, dealing with the magnitude of such “error” and its consequences. The article then uses these concepts to describe differences in narration and characterization in Dostoevsky's The Idiot and Breillat's Bad Love. It suggests that, ultimately, the tension of intimacy leads to the need for symbolic death in the form of relief from intimacy—which, when taken to the extreme, can lead to a “noble error” of real death and resulting in tragic love.

The aim of this study is to enable basic posture exercises to be included in the basic exercises of the visually impaired individuals as a step to learn more difficult movements, to guide the instructors in order to make efficient progress in a short time and to help more numbers of disabled individuals benefit from these studies.Method: 15 visually impaired sedentary students from the Department of Special Education, the Gazi Faculty of Education, who take the course Physical Education and Game Teaching for Visually Impaired People participated in the study. Following the verbal information about the study, the visually impaired students were asked to try 5 movements with difficult conditions. During the next 10 weeks, he course continued in the practice section (1 day, 45 minutes per week) and all the basic postures, included in the program with the help of the instructor’s verbal and physical help, were applied. 10 weeks later, visually impaired students were asked to retry the 5 movements which they were asked to do at the beginning of the program. The study was carried out with compilation method and the results were recorded on the basis of observation.Conclusion: As a result of this study, it was observed that visually impaired individuals who have successfully learned the basic postures with verbal communication and physical help can apply movements with difficult conditions more easily and with fewer mistakes compared to the early attempts and movement qualities (technical production) have significantly increased. Based on this, it can be concluded that basic postures are of great benefit in movement training and progress of visually impaired individuals.
‘Everything Collapses Once Again’: Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Among Close Relatives of Icelanders With SUD
Authors: Ólafsdóttir Jóna M. , Orjasniemi Tarja , Hrafnsdóttir Steinunn
Published: March 2018

Background: This research explores the extent to which the use of alcohol or drugs by one member of a family affects the mental health and psychosocial state of other family members. Are Icelander family members of substance abusers more likely to report increased depression, anxiety, and stress compared to the general population? Are there significant differences between family members, such as spouses, parents, adult children, and siblings? And do family members express their feelings and experience in a similar way?Methods: To answer such questions, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) was used to measure those three negative mental states. In the quantitative phase, the study investigated the differences in the average reported responses on the DASS in families with a chemically dependent parent, sibling, spouse/partner, or child. For the qualitative phase of the research, sixteen in-depth interviews were conducted with relatives of individuals afflicted with Substance Use Disorder (SUD).Results: Over 35% of the DASS respondents in all three subscales (depression, anxiety, stress) were found to have average, serious, or very serious depression, anxiety, and/or stress. The interviews revealed interesting differences among how the behaviour of the family member with SUD affected each kind of relative: parents, children, siblings, and spouses.Conclusion and Applications: The results of this study can be used to improve and promote treatment for the whole family as a unit, as well as for individual family members, and can help social professionals to better understand the effects of substance dependence on families, family systems, and public health in general.

De cao en het schriftelijkheidsvereiste in het arbeidsrecht

Aan de eis dat alleen bij geschrift of in de arbeidsovereenkomst van een bepaalde wettelijke regeling kan worden afgeweken of dat een bepaald beding alleen schriftelijk kan worden overeengekomen ligt in hoofdzaak niet altijd dezelfde gedachte ten grondslag. Soms is dat een waarborg voor een zich goed rekenschap gevende werknemer die niet te lichtvaardig instemt met een bepaalde arbeidsvoorwaarde, soms ligt aan die eis de bescherming van de werknemer ten grondslag en soms is het een combinatie van beide. In dit artikel wordt besproken dat in die gevallen waarin de wet een schriftelijke overeenkomst eist en de beschermingsgedachte vooropstaat, een regeling bij cao toereikend is om van een schriftelijke overeenkomst te spreken.
Low Grade Chondrosarcoma – Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Treatment
Authors: Karpik Marta , Reszeć Joanna
Published: March 2018

The article describes epidemiology, clinical features and treatment strategy of chondrosarcoma with special regard to diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in low grade chondrosarcomas. Chondrosarcomas account for 3.5-9% of primary bone tumors and approximately 30% of primary bone malignancies. They occur in the 4th to 7th decade of life, slightly more commonly in men. The most common locations are the pelvis, ribs, proximal femur and proximal humerus. Gradually increasing pain is the most common presenting symptom. Diagnosis must be based on clinical, radiological (conventional radiology, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) and histopathological features. Treatment of the tumor is based on complete removal according to the principles of oncological asepsis. Lung metastases may develop and are associated with a markedly poorer prognosis.
Effects of individual differences and job characteristics on the psychological health of Italian nurses
Authors: Zurlo Maria Clelia , Vallone Federica , Smith Andrew P.
Published: March 2018

The Demand Resources and Individual Effects Model (DRIVE Model) is a transactional model that integrates Demands- Control-Support and Effort-Reward Imbalance models emphasising the role of individual (Coping Strategies; Overcommitment) and job characteristics (Job Demands, Social Support, Decision Latitude, Skill Discretion, Effort, Rewards) in the work-related stress process. The present study aimed to test the DRIVE Model in a sample of 450 Italian nurses and to compare findings with those of a study conducted in a sample of UK nurses. A questionnaire composed of Ways of Coping Checklist-Revised (WCCL-R); Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ); ERI Test; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used. Data supported the application of the DRIVE Model to the Italian context, showing significant associations of the individual characteristics of Problem-focused, Seek Advice and Wishful Thinking coping strategies and the job characteristics of Job Demands, Skill Discretion, Decision Latitude, and Effort with perceived levels of Anxiety and Depression. Effort represented the best predictor for psychological health conditions among Italian nurses, and Social Support significantly moderated the effects of Job Demands on perceived levels of Anxiety. The comparison study showed significant differences in the risk profiles of Italian and UK nurses. Findings were discussed in order to define focused interventions to promote nurses’ wellbeing.

Obrazovanje kao mehanizam socijalnog uključivanja - Uloga obrazovanja u smanjivanju rizika od socijalne isključenosti -
Authors: Slijepčević Dušanka
Published: March 2018

Autor se u radu bavi razmatranjem društvenog uključivanja, kaopreduslova za optimalno zadovoljavanje ljudskih potreba (od biloškihdo socijalnih), odnosno mehanizama kojima pojedinci i društvenegrupe bivaju uključeni u šire društvene zajednice, a što im dajeprava i mogućnosti da ostvare integraciju u jednom ili više društvenihsistema (demokratsko – pravni, radno – tržišni, sistem socijalnepomoći, porodični sistem i sistem lokalne zajednice). Dimenzija socijalnoguključivanja (obrazovanje, zapošljavanje, zdravstvo i sl.) nakoju će analiza autora biti orijentisana je obrazovanje, budući dauključivanje u obrazovni sistem (bilo kao učitelj ili profesor, bilo kaoučenik ili student) znači učestvovati u „socio-političkom kontekstu“.Stoga će se ukazati i na povezanost obrazovanja sa ekonomskim (zaposlenost)i socio-kulturnim (socijalna inkluzija) prostorom, kako bise naglasila važnost uključivanja kroz sva tri pomenuta prostora, ucilju smanjenja rizika od socijalne isključenosti i njenog prevazilaženja.Zbog toga su inkluzivno obrazovanje i cjeloživotno učenje, kaomehanizmi socijalnog uključivanja i smanjivanja rizika od socijalneisključenosti, glavna pretpostavka od koje se u radu polazi.
Development of the idea of security
Authors: Pavlović Gojko
Published: March 2018

Historically, the concept of security has been understood, interpreted and defined in diff erent ways. In addition, it is a notion that has been, unlike anyother, mentioned and studied in all branches of science, natural and technical,as well as social and humanistic ones. It is exactly due to the utilizationof the concept of security in diff erent areas of life, that it has been much morediffi cult to defi ne it uniformly. Furthermore, it is the fact that the changesoccurring on the international scene since the end of the Cold War causedthe changes in ideas related to the security in general, and all its concepts.With referral to the previous, this paper points out that traditional conceptsof security are no longer able to explain and deal with the complex nature ofcontemporary security challenges, risks and threats. Th at is why nowadays,when considering the security issues, there are numerous perplexities, such asthe question whom the security needs to be provided for, who is responsiblefor security, who are those who impose the security threats, and what are theprocedures, means and methods to have, preserve and enhance the security.Th e aim of this paper is to show how the concept of security has developedthroughout the time and the diff erent views and ideas of security occurringthroughout the history.

Recognizing the growing infl uence and importance of themedia in a man’s daily life, it can be said that the media and media cultureitself are an important factor in modern society.

Causes and consequences of demographic processes and changes in contemporary society
Authors: Vilić Dragana
Published: March 2018

For the functioning and development of society the great significancehave demographic processes and changes (natural population growth,fertility, birth rate, mortality rate, aging of population, changes in regardto marriage, the frequency of celibacy, divorce). This paper analyzesthe causes and consequences of these processes and changes incontemporary society. The trends of demographic changes are not thesame in all societies in the world. In developed societies today can beobserved, with minor differences, the same demographic trends - lowand/or negative natural population growth, the rapid aging of population,low mortality rates, increasing of the divorces and the like. Onthe other hand, in underdeveloped societies are born many children,where weak economic conditions are conducive to a deterioration inthe material, social and health status of the population (illness andmortality, particularly of women and children). This clearly indicatesthat demographic processes and changes are not directly influencedby economic and social factors (the level of education, the developmentof society in general, etc.), but that there are a number of indirectsocial factors causing it (national, class, political, cultural, religiousand other). In response to the unfavorable demographic trends(population size, the age of the population, etc.) and the consequenceswhich population factor creates in many economic and social areas(reduction of the working population, the burden of social securityfunds, etc.), in the past two decades in the most countries populationpolicy was placed in the area of population fertility - there were introducedthe pro-natalist measures in developed countries and measuresto discourage procreation in underdeveloped countries.

Authors: Čeko Mirjana
Published: March 2018

Taking into account the very context of the book by Milojica M. Šutovićclearly are visible the deep-rooted ties of sociology and literature, which isrecognizable from the very title of this very interesting sociological - historical- literary work. “I just want to show, to paraphrase my weakness of Nietzsche,that it might be without Andrić, but the sociologist is not allowed to be - withoutAndrić, as the philosopher is not allowed to be without Wagner.
Causes and consequences of increased aging trend in modern society
Authors: Vilić Dragana
Published: March 2018

This paper analyzes the causes and consequences of the increasedtrend of population aging in contemporary society expressed in severalprevious decades. This refers to increasing the share of the populationaged between 60 and 65 years and over (chronological criteriaare defined in the modern age in relation to age in which the workingactivity stops, they can not be applied to African countries), thatis the share of the elderly population of 7 (and more) percent of thetotal population. As a result, we have the increased number of demographicallyold societies. Aging is a biological process, but also a socialconstruct, because at different times and in different societies are differentlyset boundaries of age, attitude towards aging, status of elderlypeople and the like. The most important demographic characteristicsthat cause aging of the population in modern society are: lower fertility,lower mortality (especially the older groups) and migrations.Accelerated aging of the population undermines the economic and socialbalance in the society in which it is expressed (increased pressureon funds of social, health and pension protection) it requires the increasedinvestment effort to deal with this problem and its resolution,but there are consequences for individuals (loss of autonomy , loneliness,illness, etc.). In recent years, the attitude towards old people andthe experience of aging have changed due to an improvement of theoverall quality of life (working and living conditions, progress in thefield of medicine), which gives an opportunity to the people of this ageto lead a full life of different activities (travel, education , acquisitionof new skills and the like.). Although progress was made in terms ofhuman rights, quality of life and the situation of old people in society,there are still various problems that they face (social exclusion, poverty,violence, etc.). In contemporary society have beeb undertakenvarious activities which aim to promote a positive attitude towardsthe old (er) people and to prevent discrimination based on age.

The socialization of young people in imaginary worlds
Authors: Ibraković Dželal
Published: March 2018

Internet is emerging as a value-neutral medium, but receives, withapplications offered over it, dimensions (imaginary or virtual) powerof unimaginable proportions. The young generations, born in theera of continuous improvement of the media and the technologicalinnovations that accompany it, are the “natives” of this age, and theolder generations are “strangers- newcomers” reciprocal to the yearsof age. Sociology, and other social sciences and humanities, are facingthe challenge of adopting new theoretical titles and its content,as compared to traditional names and contents. It refers to changingthe traditional paradigm of socialization of young generations, whichstrongly generates the conflict of traditional (return to the tradition ofthe Middle Ages and even earlier) and modern (the rejection of traditionand its eye for reform, then giving new content to the traditionalnotions). This also applies to parenting, education and upbringing, aswell as the role of society in general as traditional spatial, temporal,religious, ethnic, labor, gender and all other forms of its manifestation.Therefore, not only the present and the future are treated as virtual(imaginary), but the past is increasingly seen as virtual.
Duhovne osnove savremenog potrošačkog ropstva
Authors: Jurjevič Katasonov Valentin
Published: March 2018

Među feudalcima je bilo nagomilavanja novca, ali ne i kapitala. Čak kadasu feudalci pribegli eksploataciji, zasnovanoj na korišćenju kredita i duga, toih nije činilo kapitalistima. Kreditna kamata, u bilo kom obliku (novčanom,naturalnom ili vidu obrade zemlje) išla je na ličnu potrošnju feudalaca, nijese pretvarala u kapital. Ipak, to još ne znači da u feudalnom društvu nije bilokapitala i kapitalizma. Kapital i kapitalizam bili su kakvi su bili i u rimskomrobovlasničkom društvu. U Drevnom Rimu kapital nije postojao u robnoj iliproizvodnoj formi, nego u novčanoj, kapitalizam nije bio trgovački ili industrijski,nego zelenaški. Tamo su se „profesionalnim“ zelenaštvom bavili ljudiiz staleža konjanika.
Socijalizacija mladih u zamišljenim svjetovima
Authors: Ibraković Dželal
Published: March 2018

Internet se pojavljuje kao vrijednosno neutralni medij, ali dobiva, saaplikacijama koje se nude preko njega, dimenzije (zamišljene odnosnovirtualne) snage neslućenih razmjera. Mlade generacije, koje serađaju u dobu stalnog usavršavanja ovog medija i tehnoloških inovacijakoje ga prate, su „urođenici“ ovog doba, a starije generacije su sveveći „stranci- došljaci“ reciprocitetno godinama starosti. Sociologija,ali i druge društvene i humanističke nauke, se nalazi pred izazovomusvajanja novih teoretskih naziva i njihovog sadržaja, u odnosu natradicionalne nazive i sadržaje. To se odnosi na promjenu tradicionalnihparadigmi socijalizacije mladih generacija što snažno generirasukob tradicionalnog (povratak tradiciji srednjeg vijeka, pa i ranije)i modernog (odbacivanje tradicije i njeno ako ne reformisanje,a onda davanje novih sadržaja tradicionalnim pojmovima). To seodnosi i na roditeljstvo, sistem obrazovanja i vaspitavanja, ali i ulogudruštva u cjelini kao tradicionalne prostorne, vremenske, religijske,etničke, radne, rodne i svake druge forme njegovog ispoljavanja. Zatose ne samo sadašnjost i budućnost tretiraju kao virtualne (zamišljene),nego se i prošlost sve više pojima kao virtualna.
