Author(s): Ljiljana Živković,Slavoljub Jovanović / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The research results presented in the paper refer to the territorial, demographic and functional organization of Negotinska krajina which is, in many ways, specific area in north-eastern Serbia. The researched area is a complex territorial system according to its position, economical and demographic areal and functional development. Physical and geographical basis is no longer a limiting factor of the inner structure and functional differentiation of Krajina. The effect the basis has on the development of Krajina is double: direct and indirect. The direct effect that the natural elements (configuration, climate, water, biogeographical and pedological features) have on city and village location can be seen in the possibility of their territorial and functional spreading. The indirect effects are realized through influencing population position and economical resources and their evaluation.

Author(s): Victor Makhaev,Lyudmila Lemaykina / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In the present work the spatial organization, lifestyle of citizens, the types and images of the county towns in the context of the Russian imperial culture are examined. These days, the interest to the towns of this type, the provincial culture as a whole has increased. Imperial culture intensified contradictions between center and the provinces. Towns of Mordovia had existed in different sub-civilizations but the meaningful “code”, established at their base, predetermined immutable features of the urban fabric and way of life of citizens for a few centuries. These towns, created by the state, were not to promote industry, trade or culture. They were a part of the administrative network and performed control functions, broadcast power in the province.

FAMILY AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Author(s): Bojan Petrović / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

One of the frequent excuses which can be heard from young people is: “My parents don’t understand children of my age.” Why is the generation gap so present in our families? Why are the parents and the young people in our society literally at war with each other? All these are questions which I wanted to deal with, in the wake of my previous interest, connected with this subject which is so characteristic of my milieu. Consequently, to bring the cultural trends closer to the real social trends and somehow expand the problem critically. While preparing this essay, I was greatly helped by the works of Thomas Gordon and Mirjana Obretković: “The Art of Parenthood”, and “Family Relationships, Guardianship, and Social Work”, respectively.

A BIG PROBLEM OF YOUNG PEOPLE

Author(s): Erna Oklapi / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The most difficult subject that many politicians evade, as well as the people at large, are the problems of young people today. The problem of drug consumption presents the greatest danger of all. My personal belief as regards this is simple and clear. I’m not like the “others” who “don’t know” or “don’t see” what is going on with young people. I don’t take it as a taboo subject and don’t run away from it. In the following, I want to explain that the use of narcotics by young people brings about their ruin, as well as that of the society as a whole and, finally, of the state in which drug addiction is of a mass scale.

Rodna socijalizacija: odgoj i obrazovanje

Author(s): Amila Ždralović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Čini se da postoji saglasnost u pogledu značaja procesa socijalizacije za pojedince/ke da bi oni/e uopšte mogli/e funkcionirati u društvu. Kako bi ukazali/e na značaj socijalizacije, autori/ce (vidi, naprimjer: Little i dr., 2013, str. 142) često posežu za primjerima feralne ili djece koja nisu bila socijalizirana, odnosno koja su odrasla bez dodira s drugim ljudima i time nisu prošla kroz proces socijalizacije. Kroz ove primjere autori/ce ilustriraju stav da se čak i one najosnovnije fizičke aktivnosti poput sjedenja, hodanja ili stajanja, ne razvijaju automatski, već se uče. Iz ovoga slijedi, u konačnici, da se kroz društvenu interakciju razvijamo kao ljudska bića.

Author(s): Cvetelina Berberova-Valcheva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In Bulgaria, in recent years, the economy has accelerated its growth to nearly 4% per year, and welfare and living standards across the country are measured, measured by GDP per capita, wages and household incomes. However, the role of the state in social policy, as a regulator of social relations, still requires adequate measures aimed at the needy and families. The aim of the study is to highlight the basic social services provided to children and their families as well as the main reasons for abandonment of children and to propose measures to improve social services for children to ensure social security in the regions. The study uses descriptive, comparative, functional and documentary analysis. A method of comparison, induction and deduction, synthesis, sociological and statistical methods for processing the information are applied. The study is limited within the last 5 years of the deinstitutionalization of social services in children aged 0 to 3 years. Child protection activities are carried out in accordance with the priorities of the state policy: support for the family, creation of alternatives for care in a family environment and prevention of placement of children in specialized institutions. Planning of any activity of deinstitutionalization of social services should include representatives from all areas related to children's lives, thoroughly researched locally.

About Adoption and People Who Can Adopt in Romania

Author(s): Ciprian Raul Romiţan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Although, in principle, any person can adopt and become an adoptive parent, regardless of their marital status (married or single), sex, race, nationality, etc., the Romanian legislation in this area establishes a series of requirements for this. For this purpose, the law on the legal regime of adoption stipulates that the persons or families wishing to adopt must fulfill the moral guarantees, as well as the material conditions necessary for the child’s raising, education and harmonious development. The fulfillment of the guarantees and conditions provided by law, as well as the existence of the parental skills, is certified by the general directorate of social assistance and child protection within the territorial area of which the adoptee or the adoptive family resides, by issuing a certificate following the evaluation performed according to the provisions of the adoption law. This study will analyze the requirements to be met by the persons or families wishing to adopt, namely: the age of the adopter, the full exercise capacity, the moral and material ability to adopt, the consent of the adopter and the consent of the adopter’s spouse.

Assessing Pure Water for the World’s Menstrual Hygiene Management Program in Honduran Schools

Author(s): Olivia Laramie,Annette Butty / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Pure Water for the World’s Menstrual Hygiene Management program aims at improving knowledge of menstrual health. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the MHM program in schools for menstruating girls, non-menstruating girls, boys, and teachers. Surveys and focus groups conducted in Trojes community schools have concluded that PWW’s MHM program has improved knowledge amongst teachers and menstruating girls. The knowledge of school-aged boys and non-menstruating girls though can still be improved. Of the 209 students surveyed, 49% reported that they had knowledge of the menstrual cycle and menstrual hygiene. Although issues such as response bias could have played a role in this large proportion of students without knowledge of menstruation, the number of students who benefited from the education and training has increased. It is recommended that the teachers use a pre-/post-test system to track the results of the MHM programs in their classrooms. By 6th grade, the students should be receiving lessons on menstruation, sexual health, puberty, and other topics amongst all genders. We recommend that PWW creates a partnership with an organization focused on nutrition to create a program in the schools geared towards menstruating girls, as study results indicate that this is an area of concern. PWW should work more closely with the Ministry of Health to ensure that the importance of menstrual hygiene and sexual health are relayed to the teachers as a way to de-stigmatize menstruation and empower teachers to provide accurate information.
