During time, women’s participation in the labour markets all over the world has increased. However, gender differences in the level of employment still exist, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. Since empirical evidence shows that a higher degree of women’s employment has many positive effects on the economy, it is of great importance for such countries’ governments to create mechanisms for increasing it. These mechanisms are especially important for the Republic of Serbia, since women’s employment is still lagging behind men’s employment. On the interregional level, the gender discrepancies in employment are even larger, which slows down the development of the country as a whole. In order to create effective strategies and mechanisms which will increase the degree of women’s employment in such regions, it is of great importance to discover which factors currently determine whether women will be employed or not. Since the problem of women’s unemployment is particularly noticeable in the Region of Southern and Eastern Serbia, this paper aims to provide an analysis of the basic factors of women’s employment in this region, so as to raise awareness about these factors and shed light on possible employment policies that could be designed accordingly. These policies are expected to enhance the economic development of this region and the country as a whole. For this purpose, primary research was conducted on a sample of 678 women. The results of the study indicate that age, educational attainment, household income, place of residence, and having children ages 7 through 18 represent significant factors that determine women’s employment.

Solidarity as a social and legal value has a special place in the development of every legal order, because it fits into its de facto framework. In terms of this factual aspect, solidarity also entails the behaviour of people, which is based not only on legal norms but also on a plethora of social norms. Thus, it may be assumed that solidarity is a genuine expression of the moral value of perceiving others as oneself, i.e. developing the concept of brotherhood. Such a conceptual framework of solidarity indicates its future application and incorporation into legal systems, particularly those aspiring to longevity which will not be sustained by a highly centralised structure, but by stronger pillars, one of which is solidarity. Throughout the course of history, the concept of solidarity has had different features and boundaries. At times, its application was highly disputable, but it has not affected the substance of this moral value because it is a categorical imperative. The very fact that it is a universal (unconditional) moral value rather than a designated (goal-driven) endeavour enables people to accept or to reject it. Such a concept of solidarity gives birth to a value-based social and legal order, based on social justice and care for others, which are accomplished through social welfare legislation.

In specific business conditions and crisis situations, the commitment to service quality and employee performance, i.e. the interdependence of these components, is extremely important. The quality of a service largely depends on the efficiency and effectiveness of workers, and on their permanent learning and improvement, which raise the employees’ motivation to deliver a high-quality service. That is why efforts to promote the quality of services must be based on managing the behaviour and education of employees, which, from the aspect of synergy, leads to the so-called ‘learning organisation’. Therefore, the permanent learning organisation is a concept that is becoming an increasingly widespread philosophy in companies oriented towards proactive behaviour. In order to see to what extent this philosophy-orientation is present in hotels in Belgrade, we conducted primary research in the following hotels: Majestic, Zira, Heritage, Holiday INN, and the Crown Plaza of the IHG hotel chain.

Innovations are present in all fields of human activity. Therefore, they are an indispensable segment of the activities of higher-educational institutions which are going through a very demanding process of development towards future forms of educational, scientific and research work. Higher education activities imply a continuous monitoring of innovations, and their application in the educational process. The aforementioned activities are also related to the academic library, which is an unavoidable factor in the process of carrying out scientific and educational work, and is, unlike the public library, closely related to innovative processes in education and the performance of scientific activities. Using innovative methods and solutions, along with transformational processes, the library must satisfy its users with knowledgeable staff, who are ready to answer questions and meet the challenges of increasingly demanding modern users. For this reason, employees in higher education libraries are obliged to continuously improve their level of education, and to constantly keep up with modern trends, with a particular emphasis on respecting what is prescribed by the principles of the code of ethics and the legal regulations in the field of library work, as well as in the field of activities of higher-educational institutions and the protection of intellectual property. In order for this entire process to be implemented, the management of these institutions must invest all their effort and knowledge into reaching their goals through efficient organisation and a strategy that will lead to a high quality of service and a competitive advantage in this market.

This paper focuses on the challenges of including Native American literature in the course on nineteenth century American literature. Survey literature courses often feature canonical works and exclude minority or contrarian voices. My literature survey course includes the creation stories of four Native American tribes originating from different parts of the U.S., together with the works of contemporary Native American writers reflecting on the pre-colonisation and colonisation periods of American history. The process of teaching the course foregrounded the tensions between the dominant white settler mentality and the political and social marginality of Native Americans, making my students aware of the importance of multivalent analyses of literary and historical texts. Throughout the course, we discussed prevalent stereotypes about Native Americans in American literature. The experience of teaching this course leads me to the conclusion that it is important to discuss various marginalised voices in the survey courses on nineteenth century American literature. These texts reflect themes related to race, gender, religion, and ownership of land that go beyond literature to include social, political and historical issues, helping our students develop a better understanding of American culture.

In Serbia’s elementary schools, physical education is an obligatory course from the very beginning of education. This is why schools and academic staff can use their authority and behaviour to promote a healthy lifestyle among children. Parents, who are the models of good behaviour, opinions, and attitudes, likewise participate in the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among children. Thus, so as to ensure that the process of building healthy habits and an active lifestyles is as successful as possible, it is important to bear in mind the interests and preferences of both groups, as well as their gender differences. The research sample included 8002 schoolchildren in their fifth year of education, and 5768 parents. The independent variables were gender and participation in sport, and the dependent variables were 27 sport activities. The data was processed using non-parametric statistics, χ² and crosstabs. The results show that soccer, basketball, swimming and volleyball are the sports which schoolchildren most like to participate in, and which parents prefer for their children. In terms of the choice of sport, significant differences were determined between the boys and the girls, as well as between the mothers and the fathers.

This paper analyses the intensity of the influence of foreign direct investments, exports of goods and services, and research and development expenditure on GDP growth of developed and developing countries. Panel regression analysis determined that the exports of goods and services make the largest contribution to growth on middle levels of income. In fact, the contribution the export of goods and services makes to growth on middle levels of income is two times larger than in countries with a high GDP. The most essential impact on countries with a high GDP level was made by research and development expenditure, which is 3.5 times larger than its impact on the developing Balkan countries. The phenomenon of the Middle-Income Trap can be explained by insufficient research and development expenditure. Foreign direct investments are not statistically significant for the GDP growth of observed countries, but they achieve far better results on low development levels. The empirical data, presented in figures, confirms the conclusions of the econometric analysis.

Tourism is more dependent on the environment than any other economic activity. Modern tourism requires the use of vast areas of the environment, untouched or well-protected, because only in such areas can it hope to develop so as to be of economic and social benefit. Having in mind the great impact of tourism on the environment, its development needs to harmonise with the concept of sustainability. Ecotourism is one of the selective forms of tourism based on natural resources and their use over time, and it is characterised by tourist offers with unique values. Accordingly, the research subject of this paper is ecotourism, which aims to enable the tourism industry to operate while preserving the environment. The aim of this paper is to analyse the achieved level of environmental quality as the basis for the development of ecotourism, and as a component of the competitiveness of the Republic of Serbia’s tourism.

A large number of news portals and social networks in the everyday communication environment has significantly influenced the change of the traditional genre structure, but also the technique of collecting, selecting, processing and distributing information. Under the pressure of productivity and clickbaiting, crime cases columns in market-centric media are becoming an increasingly important part of daily reporting. Hence, the title blocks on the portals are the subject of this paper, with the hypothesis that their visual and textual contents differ significantly from those in traditional newspapers. The informative core of the message, characterized by sensationalism and intent to awaken curiosity, and visually enriched with photographs of actors and capital letters, greatly influences the audience’s choice. This paper, through the case study of the disappearance of a 27-year-old young man from a neighboring country, determines the basic characteristics of news headlines and reports published on the news portal “Serbia Today” (Serb. „Srbija Danas”). The results of quantitative and qualitative content analysis are also relevant for other portals, because a large number of texts are shared between the different portals. Emotionally and expressively marked words aimed at the attention of users awaken the users’ empathy and desire to actively participate in a social chronicle that excites and upsets the wider community. Qualitative analysis also indicated a close connection between the headline and the content of the report, with a predominantly sensationalist tone, as well as a clear commitment to constant public attention.

This paper addresses the issue of the legal status of non-human animals and the possibility of changing it from the status of things or property, to the status of non-things, or better, sentient beings. Key arguments for the change of their status are discussed, including the argument from marginal cases, and the scientific evidence indicating that many animals are sentient beings. Two ways of initiating such changes seem most promising: legislation, i.e. the modification of civil codes, and litigation, i.e. filing lawsuits on behalf of individual animals. It is argued that legislative changes are necessary for moving animals out of the legal category of things and into the category of sentient beings that can bear rights. On the other hand, litigation could bring about a more radical change of the legal status of some animals.
