Three generations of a family of lawyers have run a firm founded in 1893 in the small city of Becskerek (today in Serbian Zrenjanin), first part of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg monarchy, then ...Hungary, then Yugoslavia, then for a while under German occupation, then again part of Yugoslavia and finally Serbia. In the Banat district of the province of Vojvodina, the multiplicity of languages and religions and changes of place-names was a matter of course. What is practically unprecedented, all files, folders and documents of the law office have survived. They concern marriages, divorces, births and testaments, as well as expulsions, emigrations, incarcerations and releases of these largely rural and small-town dwellers. Mundane cases reflect times through war, peace, revolution and counter-revolution, through serfdom and freedom, through comfort and poverty. The files also show everyday lives shaped in spite of history. Tibor Várady transforms them into affecting and vivid vignettes, selecting and commenting without sentimentality but with empathy. The law office of the three generations of the Várady family demonstrates that the legal profession permits and in difficult times even requires its members to defend the ordinary men and women against the powers of state and society.
This paper researches the attitude of the parents whose children are not disabled towards the inclusive program that is being implemented in sport schools. The aim of the research was to determine ...the parent's social distance in relation to the inclusive program, the children who have developmental disabilities, as well as their willingness to continue to participate in inclusive programs conducted in sports schools. The research was conducted during the period from 1st February to 1st March 2013 in the 'Zrenjanin' Karate club. It included 58 parents of non-disabled child athletes, members of the 'Zrenjanin' Karate club, already taking part in the inclusion program. The research conclusions indicate that most parents have a positive attitude towards the inclusive program, as well as towards people with developmental disabilities. It can also be concluded that the parents have a high level of readiness to help inclusive practice at the club. Also, most parents have a positive attitude towards inclusive camps. Very few parents think that it is not necessary to include defectologists in the inclusive program.
Polazeci od pojma identiteta grada, shvacenog kao skup jedinstvenih osobina i obelezja koji obezbeðuje trajnu prepoznatljivost jednom gradu u poreðenju s drugim gradovima, u radu se, na primerima ...sest gradova u Srbiji (Kragujevca, Sapca, Uzica, Novog Pazara, Sombora i Zrenjanina), ispituje stepen slaganja i neslaganja o ustanovljenoj slici grada. Paznja je usredsreðena na tri dimenzije, odnosno tri vrste tenzija koje se mogu javiti u identitetima gradova ili u vezi s njima: 1) kristalizacija: da li je gradski identitet pretocen u vidljiv, prepoznatljiv simbol i da li su znacenja simbolickih elemenata meðusobno usklaðena; 2) spornost: da li se povodom slike grada javljaju sporenja meðu razlicitim grupama stanovnika; 3) poreðenje: u kakvom su odnosu gradovi tako definisanih identiteta sa drugim gradovima? Analiza se zasniva na kvantitativnim i kvalitativnim podacima prikupljenim 2013. i 2014. godine u projektu Karakteristike teritorijalnog kapitala u Srbiji, koji je sproveo Institut za socioloska istrazivanja Filozofskog fakulteta u Beogradu.
The Begej Canal is one among a large number of canals in Vojvodina (Northern Province of Serbia and Montenegro). The paper describes a study of metal and radioactivity contamination of the Begej ...Canal sediment. It is also concerned with the evaluation of sediment acute toxicity based on standard test species
Daphnia magna and simultaneously extracted metals and acid volatile sulfides. The quality of sediment was assessed according to Dutch standards, but the results were also compared with some Canadian and USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines for sediment quality.
The results showed severe pollution with chromium, copper, cadmium and zinc, whereby the anthropogenic origin of these contaminants was indicated. The tests of toxicity of sediment pore water to
D. magna, gave no indication of the presence of substances in acutely toxic concentrations to this species. It can be speculated that, despite of high metal contents, the observed toxicity was low because of the high contents of clay and iron, as well as sulphide. Also, based on a comparison with the Danube sediment and Vojvodina soil in general, the data of the Begej sediment contamination with
238U and
137Cs. The
137Cs data were used for approximate dating of the sediment. No traces of contamination by nuclear power plants in the region were found, while the presence of technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) was proved. Conclusions based on different criteria for sediment quality assessment were in some cases contradictory. Study also showed that radioactivity aspects can be useful in sediment quality surveys. The obtained results will be invaluable for the future activities regarding integrated water management based on EC Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) in the Danube basin, and particularly in the region of crossborder water body of the Begej Canal.
