Alteraciones dinámicas en espacios periurbanos: el caso de la Ruta 101
Authors: Schelotto Salvador , Lecuna Carolina
Published: July 2022

Este artículo trata de un cambio de mirada de un área geográfica enmarcada en el entorno de la Ruta 101, en el departamento de Canelones, Uruguay. Se trata de un territorio metropolitano que registra una acelerada transformación a partir de las alteraciones producidas por la creciente localización de actividades económicas: logísticas, comerciales e industriales, a partir de un soporte tradicionalmente rural. Un fenómeno que está generando un nuevo e inédito paisaje dinámico, que solapa distintas velocidades de cambios y evidencia en los distintos procesos el atributo más destacado de este nuevo paisaje, visto desde una visión sistémica del territorio y un enfoque de naturaleza proyectual que considera la especificidad vinculante y aplicada del paisaje.

This article is a change of point of view by a geographic area framed in the environment of Route 101, in Canelones department. This is a metropolitan area that records a fast transformation because of alterations produced by the growing of economic activities in this location: logistics, commercial and industrial, in a traditionally rural support. A phenomenon that is creating a new and unprecedented dynamic landscape, overlapping different rates and evidence of changes in the various processes, is the most striking attribute of this new landscape, seen from a systemic view of the land and natural approach that considers the specific projective binding and applied of landscape.
Museus contemporâneos e os novos sentidos da relação espaço e cultura
Authors: Almeida Rachel de Castro , Guimarães Sávio , Pereira Patrícia
Published: July 2022

Os museus são preciosos objetos de estudo por exibirem as transformações contemporâneas globais da cultura e do espaço, não somente por meio dos acervos que abrigam, mas também em sua própria interlocução com a estrutura urbana. Este artigo apresenta os primeiros resultados de uma pesquisa empírica realiza em museus localizados em Lisboa, Brasília e Belo Horizonte, abordando facetas desses processos como: a inserção cada vez mais forte desses espaços de cultura no bojo de uma indústria cultural, em decorrência de reorganização hegemônica do capital, das inovações tecnológicas, dos aparatos informacionais; a reelaboração do sentido de lugar, uma vez que esses espaços passam a ocupar tanto um papel de destaque na imagem e identidade das cidades, em âmbito global, em razão do crescimento do lazer e do turismo internacional, quanto em âmbito local, por se tornarem lugares de sociabilidade e de apropriação da própria indústria cultural.

Urban museums are valuable study objects because they showcase the contemporary global transformations of culture and space. They are connected to these transformations not only through their collections but also due to their interaction with urban settings. This paper presents the first results of an empirical research about museums in Lisbon, Brasília and Belo Horizonte that focuses on two dimensions: 1) the increasingly strong attachment of cultural spaces in the cultural industry, due to the hegemonic reorganisation of capital, of technological innovations, of new visual information apparatus and 2) the re-elaboration of the sense of place, since these spaces are becoming increasingly important for the image and identity of cities. This relevance emerges due to global factors, namely the growth of the international tourism and leisure industry, but it is also locally grounded, as these are places of encounter, of interaction and of fruition of the architecture and the exhibited objects.

Anclas, bordes y debordes del shopping center: tres escalas del espacio percibido del Quicentro Shopping Center, Quito, Ecuador
Authors: Loaiza Jiménez Daniela Sofía
Published: July 2022

En la narrativa académica acerca de los Shopping Centers, existen debates sobre las transformaciones urbanísticas producidas en torno a estas arquitecturas. Por un lado existe la corriente que “sataniza” al shopping center, acusándolo de ser una amenaza para la ciudad. Por otro lado existe una corriente que plantea al shopping center como una oportunidad y, por último, existe la corriente más contemporánea que describe al shopping center como un fenómeno que ha provocado transformaciones morfológicas, nuevas formas de ocupación y de apropiación del espacio y el reordenamiento de usos. Así, la presente investigación, discute estas narrativas a partir del estudio de caso Quicentro Shopping Center en Quito - Ecuador, analizando las ANCLAS o polos de atracción, los BORDES permeables o autistas y los DESBORDES o actividades del shopping center que traspasan sus muros y se manifiestan en su entorno inmediato, buscando los patrones de transformación de la ciudad (concebida y percibida), en diferentes escalas, con la inserción el shopping center.

In academic narrative about Shopping Centers, there are debates about the urban transformations around these architectures. On the one hand there is the point of view that "demonizes" the shopping center, accusing him of being a threat to the city. On the other hand there is a trend that poses the shopping center as an opportunity and, finally, there is the contemporary trend that describes the shopping center as a phenomenon that has caused morphological transformations, new forms of occupation and appropriation of space and realignment of its uses. This way, the present research discusses these narratives from case study Quicentro Shopping Center in Quito- Ecuador, analyzing ANCHORS or poles of attraction. Also, permeable or autistic EDGES and OVERFLOWS or activities of the shopping center that go beyond its walls and manifest themselves in their immediate environment, looking for patterns of transformation of the city (conceived and perceived), on different scales, by inserting the shopping center.
54 piscinões nas várzeas do Alto Tietê: o projeto de retenção de água pluvial na Bacia do Rio Aricanduva
Authors: Abril Marta Juliana
Published: July 2022

A pesquisa busca debater as principais dificuldades e potencialidades da inserção urbana das

infraestruturas hídricas de drenagem. O objeto de estudo é o Sistema de Reservatórios de Amortecimento

de Cheias, conhecidos como piscinões, nos processos de interface e mediação com a estrutura urbana da

Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. O principal objetivo é contribuir numa abordagem mais abrangente e

multidisciplinar do entendimento do sistema de retenção de água pluvial, percebido não somente como

mero sistema de fluxos cuja única finalidade é a eficiência técnica. Evidencia-se que o sistema de retenção

de águas pluviais tem potencial para desempenhar um papel relevante na qualificação espacial em diversas

escalas e contribuir para a estruturação e legibilidade das localidades as que pertencem.

This research aims to discuss the potential challenges and benefits of integrating water infrastructure in

urban morphology. The case study that will be examined is the Flood Storage Reservoirs System, or as it is

colloquially referred to “Piscinões”, along with its interface processes and the mediation with the urban

structure of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. The main objective is to contribute to an approach that

embraces a multidisciplinary understanding of rainwater retention system, which moves beyond its

perception as mere flow systems whose ultimate goal is technical efficiency. It is evident that rainwater

retention systems have the potential to play a role in the spatial improvement at different scales as well as

contributing to the readability and structuring of the the localities which they belong to.
Espacios rurales en transición: la(s) forma(s) del territorio rural contemporáneo: los municipios de Guatapé y El Peñol (Antioquia, Colombia)
Authors: López Osorio Laura
Published: July 2022

Los espacios rurales contemporáneos ya no pueden identificarse y explicarse con los imaginarios ni

conceptos que predominaban hasta hace algunas décadas. La reciente transformación social y económica

que ha acaecido en ellos, con la incorporación de lógicas urbanas sobre el suelo tradicionalmente agrícola,

han venido modificando produciendo nuevas vocaciones, modos de vida y formas físicas en el territorio

rural que son el resultado de la imbricación de lógicas urbanas y rurales tradicionales. Si bien esta

transformación ha sido reconocida y analizada con cierta profusión desde perspectivas sociales y

económicas, la nueva forma física que el territorio adquiere como resultante sintética y objetiva de esos

procesos no ha sido rigurosamente estudiada.

La presente investigación se enfoca en la descripción de la transformación de la forma física de los

municipios Guatapé y El Peñol, que a la luz de la interacción entre valores rurales y urbanos han producido

múltiples y diferenciales respuestas físicas en la ordenación y configuración el suelo rural. No obstante se

considera que una mirada comparada de diferentes porciones del territorio nos permitiría descubrir

tendencias y puntos en común que den cuenta de lógicas físicas generalizables, propias e inherentes

existentes en configuración y transformación del espacio rural contemporáneo de ambos municipios.

Contemporary rural areas can no longer be identified and explained with visual representations or concepts

that prevailed until a few decades ago. The recent social and economic transformation that has occurred in

them, with the incorporation of urban logic on the traditionally agricultural land, have been modified to

produce new vocations, lifestyles and physical forms in rural territory that are the result of the interweaving

of logic urban and traditional rural. While this transformation has been recognized and analyzed with some

profusion from social and economic perspectives, the new physical form that the territory acquires as

synthetic and objective resulting from these processes has not been rigorously studied. This research

focuses on the description of the transformation of the physical form of Guatapé and El Peñol municipalities,

which in light of the interaction between rural and urban values have been multiple and differential physical

responses in the management and configuration rural land . However it is considered that a comparative

look of different portions of the territory allow us to discover trends and commonalities that account for

generalizable, own and existing configuration and transformation of contemporary rural areas of both

Análise da paisagem de uma cidade no Sul do Brasil: a paisagem urbana na área central de Blumenau/SC - Brasil
Authors: Bielschowsky Bernardo Brasil
Published: July 2022

Este trabalho pretende analisar a paisagem urbana na área central de Blumenau/SC - Brasil, a partir da

década de 1950, para demonstrar a importância dessa paisagem historicamente construída como um bem

patrimonial que deve ser valorizado. Esse patrimônio, culturalmente e socialmente constituído, que é a

paisagem, encontra-se ameaçado por sucessivas políticas públicas de desvalorização da história da cidade

e pela construção de grandes cenários com imagens urbanas emblemáticas, principalmente a partir da

década de 1970, quando ocorre uma ameaça mais efetiva à área de estudo. A principal problemática,

atualmente, são as sucessivas tentativas do próprio poder público em tentar vender a cidade como um

objeto, através dessas imagens emblemáticas. Essas políticas públicas tratam da espetacularização urbana,

da mercantilização dos espaços e da própria paisagem da cidade.

This study aims to examine the urban landscape in the central area of Blumenau/SC - Brazil, from the 1950s,

to demonstrate the importance of this landscape historically constituted as a heritage that should be valued.

This heritage, culturally and socially constituted, which is the landscape, is threatened by successive politics

of devaluation of the city's history and the construction of large scenarios with emblematic urban images,

mainly from the 1970s, when a threat occurs more effectively to the study area. The main problem currently

are the successive attempts of the government in trying to sell the city as an object through these

emblematic urban images. These public politics dealing with a urban spectacle, the commercialization of

space and the landscape of the city.

Published: July 2022

México mediante la Secretaría de Turismo (SECTUR) diseña y gestiona programas que apuestan por la riqueza patrimonial existente en el territorio. En el 2001 surge el programa Pueblos Mágicos como una estrategia para diversificar el turismo al interior del país, buscando revitalizar la economía local; poniendo en valor el patrimonio de las localidades inscritas. Este documento se centra en establecer e identificar si la aplicación de éste programa ha contribuido al desarrollo local de las poblaciones inscritas del 2001-2014. Los resultados apuntan a que este programa muestra un avance en localidades con características morfológicas similares, pero aún no logra considerarse como un motor principal para el desarrollo local de las poblaciones inscritas.

Mexico by the Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR) designs and manages programs that are committed to the existing rich heritage in the territory. In 2001 the Magic Towns program emerges as a strategy to diversify tourism within the country, seeking to revitalize the local economy; placing value on the assets of the registered locations. This document focuses on establishing and identify whether the implementation of this program has contributed to local development of populations enrolled from 2001 to 2014. The results suggest that this program shows progress in locations with similar morphological characteristics, but still can not be considered as a main driver for local development of the registered population.
Benidorm e Balneário Camboriú: comparações entre ícones do turismo de sol e praia urbano
Authors: Bueno Ayrton Portilho
Published: July 2022

Benidorm, na costa alicantina, na Espanha, e Balneário Camboriú, no sul do Brasil, são cidades onde o

turismo de sol e praia assumiu características urbanas. Têm similitudes paisagísticas e funcionais, pelos

seus skylines e por apresentarem alojamentos turísticos e de segunda residência. Buscando entender

comparativamente as duas cidades, analisaram-se suas relações com o território e o ambiente,

acompanhando a evolução urbana de cada uma, relacionando-as aos processos sócio-econômicos,

culturais e aspectos institucionais que permitiram e orientaram seus desenvolvimentos. Num recorte

morfológico, analisou-se o tecido urbano, em especial das primeiras franjas junto à costa, comparando-se

alguns aspectos visíveis dos tecidos urbanos que estão relacionados com a ambiência e a qualidade de

vida nesses assentamentos. Percebeu-se que os tecidos urbanos de cada cidade, tiveram processos de

ordenação territorial diferenciados que se refletem em ambientes urbanos de qualidades também diferentes.

Benidorm, in alicantina coast, Spain, and Camboriú in southern Brazil, are cities where the sun and beach

tourism has developed with urban model. They have similarities landscape and functional by their skylines

and by present tourist and second home accommodations. Seeking understand the two cities

comparatively, we analyzed their relations with the territory and the environment, following the urban

evolution of each one, relating them to the social-economic processes, cultural and institutional aspects that

led and guided their development. In a morphological approach, the urban tissue was analyzed, especially

the first fringes along the coast, compared to some visible aspects of the urban fabric that are related to the

ambience and quality of life in these settlements. It was noticed that the urban fabric of each city, had distinct

territorial ordering processes that are reflected in urban environments also different qualities.

The workshops aim to test a method of creative approach to the understanding of landscapes, from the invention of tools and skills training, under the pretense of compressing a time-dilated of other experimental and autobiographical learning.
Cidades criativas e requalificação urbana: consumo do espaço e dinâmica socioespacial na antiga estação ferroviária de Cordeirópolis (SP)
Authors: Manfredini Eduardo Alberto
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo é parte dos estudos de pós-doutoramento que tratam das ações humanas sobre o espaço urbano em uma cidade de pequeno porte, abordando as dinâmicas materiais reproduzidas neste cenário. Neste contexto analisa-se, um recorte da área urbana central do município paulista de Cordeirópolis – localizado no leste paulista, na região interiorana de Campinas, terceira área de maior concentração industrial do país. - instalado no entroncamento das três principais Rodovias que conectam o Estado de São Paulo à região Centro Oeste e ao Estado de Minas Gerais. O objeto de estudos engloba a área da histórica Estação Ferroviária – instalada no ano de 1.876 e única no país implantada “em curva” – enquanto elemento de interesse aos estudos da ocupação socioespacial. O trabalho procura assim demonstrar - utilizando-se de conceitos voltados à promoção de cidades criativas, sustentáveis e inteligentes – as possibilidades envolvidas em uma mudança de paradigmas na condução do planejamento urbano.

This article is part of the post-doctoral studies dealing with human actions on the urban space in a small town, addressing the dynamic material reproduced in this scenario. In this context it is analyzed, a cutout from the central urban area of São Paulo Cordeirópolis - located in São Paulo's east, in the hinterland of Campinas, the third largest area of industrial concentration in the country - installed at the junction of three major highways that connect the State of São Paulo to the midwest and the state of Minas Gerais. The study object comprises the area of the historic train station - installed in the year 1876 and only one in the country located "in turn" - as an element of interest to socio-occupancy studies. The work thus seeks to demonstrate - using concepts aimed at the promotion of creative, sustainable and smart cities - the possibilities involved in a paradigm shift in the conduct of urban planning.
Midwifery and Epistemic Virtue in the Theaetetus
Authors: Bailey Dylan S. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2022

The Theaetetus’s midwife metaphor contains a puzzling feature, often re­ferred to as the “midwife paradox”: the physical midwives must have first given birth to their own children in order to have the necessary experience to practice their art. Socrates, however, seems to disavow having any children of his own and thus appears to be unqualified to practice philosophical midwifery. In this paper, I aim to dissolve the midwife paradox by arguing that it rests on problematic assumptions, namely, that Socrates never gave birth to a child at all or the child of wisdom in particular, and that he is primarily an intellectual midwife. I offer a new interpretation of Socratic midwifery, arguing that what Socrates may have birthed in the past which qualifies him for midwifery is his virtuous recognition of his ignorance, and that this “epistemic virtue” is also the proximate goal of Socratic midwifery.

Intellectual capital is the part of intangible assets that affects value creation. Intellectual capital includes human capital, structural capital, and customer capital. The paper aims to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital and the managers’ productivity in hotel companies. The research included 80 hotels with 3-stars, 4-stars, and 5-stars. Testing of research hypotheses is performed by application of multiple regression analysis and ANOVA test. The obtained results support the positive contribution of the components of intellectual capital on the productivity of managers in hotel companies. Also, the results show that there is no significant difference in the level of achieved manager’s productivity between hotels of 3-stars, 4-stars, and 5-stars.
Influence of service quality on customer satisfaction in Serbian logistics practice
Authors: Dašić Miloš , Trajković Slaviša , Jakšić Krsto
Published: July 2022

Starting from the findings of other authors that logistic service quality indeed affects customer satisfaction, the author of this paper wanted to examine whether this relation existed in the context of Serbian logistics practice. The research was conducted in October 2021 on a sample of 234 respondents who used the services of shipping companies from Serbia. Send questionnaires consisted of three general questions about demographic variables and sixteen closed-ended questions about the perceived service quality based on the dimensions of the SERVPERF model. The researchers assessed the correlation between variables by regression analysis. The results of the research confirm a significant positive correlation between the logistic service quality and customer satisfaction. Responsibility has been shown to have the greatest impact on customer satisfaction, while other characteristics of service quality - reliability and tangibles show a medium, and assurance and empathy almost insignificant positive correlation with customer satisfaction.
Sustainable development management seen through the prism of natural capital preservation imperative
Authors: Kostić Vladimir , Milićević Srđan , Despotović Danijela
Published: July 2022

After explaining the content coverage and elementary explanation of the basic dimensions of the paradigm of sustainable development, the concept of sustainability is considered in the light of preserving the total amount of capital in the production process, assuming no technological change and population growth. The research task set in this way brought to the fore the extremely complex question of the substitutability of produced and natural capital (stocks of natural resources and carrying capacity of the environment). The answer to it is directly related to the concept of weak and strong sustainability. The concept of poor sustainability allows substitutability between produced and natural capital, provided that the total amount of available capital does not decrease. On the contrary, the concept of strong sustainability implies a special observation of produced and natural capital. It practically eliminates the possibility of replacing one form of capital with another in the production process and from the point of view of the development economy is the only acceptable option in the long run. If unlimited substitution between natural and produced capital is allowed, then natural resources will eventually be depleted due to the creation of produced capital.
External audit in the function of providing assurance in the correctness of the assumptions about the going concern assumption
Authors: Vlaović Begović Sanja , Tomašević Stevan , Momčilović Mirela
Published: July 2022

Expressing confidence in the correctness of the going-concern assumption of the client's company is a complex issue that requires attention. Based on the company's characteristics, auditors may indicate the problem of business continuity, but the uncertainty of future events that may affect the company to initiate or not to initiate bankruptcy proceedings remains. The client and the auditors bear the consequences of expressing a wrong opinion. The aim of the paper is to emphasize the auditor's responsibility in expressing opinions on the principle of the going-concern assumption, as well as drawing attention to the consequences that the auditor's opinion can cause. By reviewing literature and audit practices in different countries, the authors concluded that expressing a modified opinion expressing doubts about the continuation of business directly makes it difficult to conduct its business activities (it is harder to approve loans, find business partners, etc.). In this way, the chances of the company recovery are reduced. On the other hand, expressing an unmodified opinion, following which the client company opens bankruptcy proceedings, causes public dissatisfaction and suspicion in the auditing profession. Although users of financial statements expect an auditor's warning about the company's financial difficulties that lead to the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, the auditor's responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the continuity of business is endangered and not whether the company will initiate bankruptcy proceedings.

Published: July 2022

The goal of this research is to analyze the entrepreneurial intentions and potentials of students from the two units of Kosovo and Metohija academy of professional studies (in Zvečan and Uroševac with a temporary headquarters in Leposavić). For the purposes of this research, a survey of a sample of 180 students was applied. Insufficient information on entrepreneurship support programs and insufficient financial resources can be pointed out as the main problems identified in this research. Having in mind the observed problems, it is necessary to define appropriate measures for overcoming them. Also, the paper gives a comparative overview of the results of research conducted with high school students in Vojvodina. At the same time, certain differences in the attitude of students from Vojvodina and Kosovo and Metohija can be noticed, which can be attributed, among other things, to the political, economic and legal characteristics of the environment.

Prohibition on the burning of crop residues on agricultural land
Authors: Nikolić-Popadić Sofija
Published: July 2022

Burning plant residues is a practice that some farmers apply on agricultural land after the harvest. It causes numerous harmful effects on the land, environment, climate, and can endanger the lives of people, animals and property. This paper analyzes the legal regulations of the European Union and individual member states in order to find an answer to the question of how to regulate the ban on burning crop residues. Given that a large number of fires occur in the Republic of Serbia every year in the post-harvest period, special attention is paid to the analysis of domestic regulations to find answers to the question of whether this decades-long problem is caused by inadequate legal regulations or whether the existing regulations are not applied properly.
Between democracy and dictatorship: Hybrid regime and rule of law
Authors: Mišić Marica
Published: July 2022

Past and on-going political affairs linked to the pandemic, particularly in Serbia (which fits the concept of a hybrid regime), created discussions among some lawyers on whether the President's declaration of a state of emergency was constitutional or not. This is the motivation for a Kelsen - Schmitt debate about who ought to be the guardian of the constitution and drawing some parallels with contemporary hybrid regimes. Some of the problems that arise in hybrid regimes are in relation to the rule of law, the role of the parliament and the constitution. Most contemporary constitutions are based on the rule of law, which is exercised through pluralism, free and fair elections, constitutional guarantees of human and minority rights, separation of powers, an independent judiciary and obedience of the constitution and the law. Using Serbia as an example, we can notice that the rule of law and the role of parliament as the bearer of constituent and legislative authority are endangered by potential dictatorships in hybrid regimes.
Non-competes in employment contracts: (Un)justified restrictions on the freedom to work
Authors: Kuzminac Mina
Published: July 2022

The author analyses the normative and practical aspects of non-competes as a labour law institute. The hypothesis presented in the paper is that although non-compete clauses should exist, there is a need to further limit the inclusion of such clauses in employment contracts (especially post-contractual non-competes), so that there would not be an unjustified limitation on the freedom to work. The aim of the paper is to present the advantages and disadvantages of non-competes from the (opposed) perspectives of the employer and employee, and to indicate which provisions in the Serbian legal framework should potentially be revised in order to avoid employers abusing non-competes in practice. The paper contains an analysis of the legal framework in Serbia and a brief overview of solutions from certain European Union member states which could be utilized as guidelines for amending Serbian legislation, as well as an analysis of the results of a survey conducted through a questionnaire which demonstrates that employees are not very familiar with non-competes. Finally, the author conducted interviews with respondents who have or have had non-competes in their employment contract. Based on the interviews, it was concluded that employees agree to the non-competes out of fear of not getting employed, despite believing that there is no justified basis for such a clause.

Published: July 2022

Starting from the insight that practitioners' research is increasingly being recognized as a form of professional development that contributes to the development of educational practice, the aim of our research is to determine the reasons for an insufficient representation of practitioners' research and explore the possible solutions for overcoming this problem. The data were collected during an online conference dedicated to professional development which was attended by 157 teachers and professional associates. The data corpus for analysis consists of participants' posts on the Padlet platform, namely, 156 posts dealing with the shortcomings of practitioners' research in relation to other forms of professional development and 106 posts on how to support other colleagues to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings. The data were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis. In the participants' opinion, the reason for an insufficient representation of the research of practice is the low motivation for this type of professional development, and they also cite the obstacles present at the level of school, education system, and society. According to the participants, the ways to overcome these problems include raising awareness of the benefits of research practice, taking responsibility for developing their own practice, and developing themselves as researchers, as well as building a community of research practitioners. The findings are discussed from the perspective of the conceptions of practitioners' research, but also from the perspective of the contextual conditionality of this form of professional development. The findings served to formulate recommendations for improving the position of practitioners' research and practitioners as researchers in the Serbian education system.

In this paper we presented the activities that we conducted within the mini project named Jewish culture as a vital element of local identity trough history, as well as the idea and the goals that stand behind the project. The project was conducted on Faculty of Education in Sombor. The main goal of this project was for students-future teachers, to acquire knowledge about the Jewish culture, religion and history, so they could develop skills for better understanding the specific local identity as part of Vojvodina, which is a unique multi-cultural and multi-confessional region, and also to improve their intercultural competences. The possibilities and methods for teaching and learning about the Holocaust are also examined. The project activities included lectures about the main characteristics of Jewish culture, and about local history and suffering of Jewish families from Sombor during the Holocaust. The plan included a visit to Jewish community in Sombor, and also a trip to Subotica, the city in the same region, in order to visit a restored synagogue.

The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between dyadic empathy and marital quality in formal and informal marital relationships in Serbia. The sample consisted of 738 respondents of different socioeconomic background, aged between 19 and 80, living together between 1 and 52 years (M = 8.29, SD = 9.71). The Interpersonal Reactivity Index for Couples (IRIC; Pé loquin & Lafontaine, 2010) was used to assess the cognitive and affective dimensions of dyadic empathy, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976, 1989) was used to measure marital quality. The latter assesses four dimensions of marital quality: Consensus, Dyadic Satisfaction, Affectional Expression and Cohesion. The results of structural modelling indicate a positive contribution of affective empathy to the assessment of spousal agreement regarding issues that are important for everyday functioning, the assessment of general satisfaction with marriage, as well as to the assessment of the degree of closeness and quality of communication between partners. Cognitive empathy positively contributes to the assessment of spousal agreement regarding issues that are important for everyday functioning, the assessment of the agreement of spouses concerning displays of affection, sexual relations, lack of love and denials of sex, as well as the assessment of the degree of closeness and quality of communication between partners.

Authors: Đošan Sanja , Dinić Bojana
Published: July 2022

The aim of this research was to examine the relations between the Dark Tetrad traits (narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sadism) and six domains of self-concept (social, competence, affect, academic, family, and physical self-concept). Using a sample comprised of 210 participants (69.5% women), aged between 18 and 78, the Serbian adaptations of the following instruments were applied: the Short Dark Triad (SD3), the Assessment of Sadistic Personality (ASP), and the Multidimensional Self-Concept Scale (MSCS). The results indicate that narcissism was positively related to all domains of Self-Concept, especially to social and physical self, while psychopathy was negatively related to Self-Concept domains, especially to social self. Machiavellianism was negatively related to social Self-Concept and competence, while sadism was negatively related to competence and academic self-concept. Although narcissism is considered as the "brightest" dark trait, results could indicate biased evaluations of the self in narcissism, which is in line with its grandiose and superior self-view.
Comparative presentation of the sophistic theory and the theory of social constructionism
Authors: Golubović Dejan
Published: July 2022

Social constructionism is a postmodern view the essence of which includes an idea of truth conditioned by society and history and of truth constructed within a wide spectrum of social interactions. The consequences of this view are that no knowledge deserves a privileged ontological status and that we can only speak about different versions of truth. The aim of the paper is a critical reconsideration of the originality of these ideas. The starting point is the hypothesis that there is a significant degree of theoretical congruence between sophism and social constructionism, implying that social constructionism could be observed to a great extent as a revitalization of old sophist ideas interpreted in a formally new manner. The methodology is comparative and interpretative text analysis, while the units of analysis are reflexivity, agnosticism, anti-essentialism, relativism, and social construction of truth. The structure of the paper comprises two entireties-the first entirety defines the concepts of sophism and social constructionism, while the second one presents the key ideational overlaps between these two movements. The conclusion is that there is a high degree of congruence, but also a considerable disparity, between sophism and social constructionism. The congruence is present in the reflexive relation towards one's own theoretical and methodological limitations, radical distrust in the epistemic capacities of the knower and relativistic conception of truth, while with regard to socially constructed truth, the congruence is absent. By this, the hypothesis set is largely confirmed, the epithet of an authentic sociological theory is attributed to social constructionism and the significance of a philosophical orientation with many elements of modernity is attached to sophism.

Published: July 2022

The goal of bibliotherapy is to use a book to help the reader understand and overcome the difficulties he or she is facing. It can be applied in different contexts. If it is applied in a school environment, we are talking about developmental bibliotherapy. The aim of this paper is to describe the basic stages of developmental bibliotherapy, to present the results of research that indicate the effectiveness of its application, as well as the results of research that refer to the inclination of teachers and associates to opt for this technique. Given that this technique is considered to be a simple, cost-effective, and efficient intervention, and that some teachers and associates do not venture to apply it because they lack the necessary knowledge and skills, the inclusion of bibliotherapy in college training programs could contribute to the increased readiness of professionals to use it in order to help children face challenges in a developmentally appropriate manner.
