In the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) from its establishment only days after the German attack on Yugoslavia in early April 1941 until its fall in May 1945 a genocide took place. The ultimate ...goal of the extreme ideology of the Ustasha regime was a new Croatian state cleansed of other ethnic groups, particularly the Serbs, Jews and Roma. The Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), historically a mainstay of Serbian national identity, culture and tradition, was among its first targets. Most Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries were demolished, heavily damaged or appropriated by the Roman Catholic Church or the state. More than 170 Serbian priests were killed and tortured by the Ustasha, and even more were exiled to occupied Serbia. The regime led by Ante Pavelić introduced numerous laws and regulations depriving the SPC of not only its property and spiritual jurisdiction but even of its right to existence. When mass killings stirred up a large-scale rebellion, a more political and seemingly non-violent approach was introduced: the Croatian regime unilaterally and non-canonically founded the so-called Croatian Orthodox Church in order to bring the forced assimilation of Serbs to completion. This paper provides an overview of the ordeal of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the NDH, based on the scholarly literature and documentary sources of Serbian, German and Croatian origin. It looks at legislation, propaganda, the killings and torture of Orthodox clergy and the destruction of church property, including medieval holy relics. The scale and viciousness of some atrocities will be looked at based on unused or less known sources, namely the statements of Serbian refugees recorded during the war by the SPC and the Commissariat for Refugees in Serbia, and documents from the Political Archive of the Third Reich Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The aim of the study is to examine how gifted students are stimulated to use e-learning for academic achievement. The main questions to which an answer is sought in this context are: What types of ...activities do gifted students use in e-learning? How do students evaluate the adequacy of ICT resources for their academic achievements so far? What are the relationships between the use of ICT for learning and the personality traits, self-esteem, and motivational strategies of gifted people? The theoretical context consists of concepts of self-regulation, new concepts of intelligence - self-management of intellectual processes - Sternberg, emancipatory didactics. The research has used the method of systematic, non-experimental observation, and as instruments, a battery of questionnaires: (PSIKT) Protocol on students' self-perception about the importance and use of ICT and e-learning to stimulate students towards academic achievements—made for this research; Questionnaire of Motivation for Learning (LLOS-IEA), SMS-Scale of Motivational Strategies, Inventory of Competencies for Memory and Reasoning (MARCI-Stankov & Crawford), and Personality Traits (BFIIV). of the battery ranges from 0.62 to 0.83. It was used as a
Journal Plus Education Vol. XXXII, no.1/MAY, 2023 p.10-42 11 convenience sample, consisting of 687 students from the universities of Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš (within this number, 127 are academically gifted, with an average grade above 9.00). Basic findings: When compared to other students, academically gifted students focus more on expanding their knowledge based on their interests, research work, and interactive self-evaluation tests in e-learning. Using ICT for learning and academic success is closely related to students' personal characteristics (personality traits, self-confidence, motivation). Gifted students have stronger self-confidence, motivation, and personality traits than other students
Citricola scale, Coccus pseudomagnoliarum (Kuwana) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) was
for the first time registered in Serbia in 2015 in the area of Belgrade on
Celtis occidentalis L. C. pseudomagnoliarum ...develops one generation annually
and overwinters as the second-instar nymph on host twigs. It forms numerous
colonies on infested plants, and symptoms of its feeding appear in the form
of drying leaves and twigs. In addition, large amounts of honeydew that this
scale secretes reduce photosynthesis and transpiration in plants, which
accelerates their decay. Citricola scale attracts many entomophagous insects
which are able to reduce pest population. The parasitoid wasps Coccophagus
lycimnia (Walker), Coccophagus piceae Erdos, Coccophagus scutellaris
(Dalman), Coccophagus shillongensis (Hayat and Singh) (Aphelinidae),
Cheiloneurus claviger Thomson and Metaphycus stanleyi Compere (Encyrtidae)
were reared. C. piceae and M. stanleyi are new species in the fauna of
Serbia. C. pseudomagnoliarum is a new host for the species M. stanleyi. The
predators Coccinella septempunctata L., Exochomus quadripustulatus (L.)
(Coccinellidae) and Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Chrysopidae) were found
in scale colonies. The most efficient natural enemy of C. pseudomagnoliarum
nymphs was C. lycimnia, reducing scale populations by 11-26%.
This paper analyses the establishing of the Croatian Orthodox Church (HPC) and the campaign for its international recognition. The research is based on rarely used historical documents from ...collections of the Political Archives of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Berlin) and the Croatian State Archives (Zagreb). The main research subject is analyzed in the context of Nazi policies toward the Orthodox churches in the European South-East, and those have varied from case to case in accordance with Germany’s war goals and properties. The paper also sheds light on the efforts of the Serbian Orthodox Church to prevent the international recognition of the HPC as well as efforts to establish the Hungarian Orthodox Church (a process analogous to the HPC case in many details).
The paper analyzes the historical context, content, and aims of the organized anti-Semitic propaganda and legislation in the final year prior to the occupation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and in ...occupied Serbia. Both direct and indirect anti-Semitic orders and decrees have been thoroughly analyzed, while the propaganda has been gleaned from the writings of influential daily newspapers, magazines, and journals, and special events such as the Great Anti-masonic (1941) and Anti-communist exhibition (1942). An attempt has been made to show the predominant role of the German factor in both legislation and propaganda, although the responsibility of the local authorities is also discussed. The paper derives its information from research mainly done on primary historical sources such as the official decrees of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the German military commander in Serbia, and Milan Nedić’s Government, as well as the influential press published at the time.
During the Second World War, several Cossack units served in the German armed forces, and their movements and combat operations were already the subject of scholarly research and popular ...historiography. Contrasting the majority of published works, based on German military sources and focused on deployment and anti-partisan combat activities, this paper aims to analyze and showcase the First Cossack Cavalry Division on the territory of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) from a perspective of civilian victims and Croatian authorities. Such perspective portrays the Cossacks as uncompromising and exceptionally efficient fighters against communism and resistance, but also as undisciplined villains, leaving the trail of crimes, robbery, rape, molest and murder of civilians. The paper is mostly based on unpublished historical sources from the Archives of Yugoslavia and the Military Archives in Belgrade.
The article analyses political, religious and propaganda activity of Vasilije (Vasa) Šurlan, an orthodox priest, during the Second World War, as one of the very few documented cases of ideological ...collaboration between ethnic Serbs and NDH state authorities. Motivation, nature and genesis of collaboration are particularly in the focus of this paper, hence some less known and academically not used historical documents, including Šurlan’s letters from 1941, are published here.
In this text I will try to explain the theoretical specificity of critique of
political economy. I will primarily found my arguments on the texts of
Michael Hein- rich and John Milios. To this I will ...firstly scatch the
theoretical context of economic theories that exited at the time of emergence
of critique of political economy. Than, I will present main differences in
approach that we can find in Marx?s Capital with repsect to the concepts that
are utilised and questions that he tries to answer. In the end I will present
the directions of development of the critique of political economy that are
realted to this basic insight.

Analysis of prior research on creativity at an early age indicates a lack of data on the efficacy of existing, theoretically promoted strategies and procedures applied at older age. There are, ...however, certain findings in favour of these strategies at an early age. In addition to theoretical explication, the paper offers arguments for the empirical validation of strategies for creativity encouragement, based on broader international research carried out in Serbia and Romania that studied the didactic reaches of the Nikola Tesla Centre (NTC) program, intended for encouraging divergent thinking and focusing specifically on qualities of thinking, such as fluency, flexibility, and originality. The current study investigates what are the effects of a divergent production of tasks, created on the basis of one of the strategies of creativity development, saturated with processes of creative imagination and inventiveness, on preschool-age children. The experiment in the evaluation study was conducted on a group of respondents, measuring their performance in solving divergent production tasks in initial and final testing. The study included children between 6-7 years old from Romania and Serbia: 562 in the initial and 371 in final testing. The results show that over the course of the NTC learning and teaching program, children can be instructed in developing a wider mental structure in the sense of discovering unusual and remote relations between stimuli and responses.
