The subject of this paper is models of consociational democracy in Austria and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim is to define in a comparative analysis the similarities and differences between consociational systems of government in these two countries, their practice and scope. Based on these conclusions, we draw new knowledge in the field of activities and possibilities of consociational arrangements in the divided societies of modern Europe. The scientific justification of this paper is that through the analysis of different consociational democracies and their practical experiences, the scope of this form of democratic rule is assessed, and the conclusions are theoretically added to the existing fund of scientific knowledge about this phenomenon. The social contribution of the paper is in the fact that consociational democracy is an increasingly common solution for many divided societies and therefore the analysis of existing consociational democracies is a socially justified topic.

The main focus of disaster management is currently on disaster risk reduction activities. Mount Merapi in Indonesia is one of the most active volcanoes in the world with a four-year eruption cycle. The local government of the Sleman Regency has made several efforts to reduce the risk of impacts from the eruption of Mount Merapi. These efforts involve various elements in society. The purpose of this research is to identify the efforts made by the Sleman Regency Government in reducing the risk of the eruption of Mount Merapi and the factors that influence it. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods with informants coming from the government, volunteers and the community. The findings of this study are the activity of risk reduction of eruption Merapi Mount in Sleman consists of physical and non-physical mitigation. Physical mitigation includes the construction of the Merapi Sabodam, construction of the Early Warning System, determination of evacuation routes and construction of refugee shelters. Non-physical mitigation includes the preparation of a contingency plan for the eruption of Mount Merapi, the formation of Destana (Disaster Resilient Village), the sister village and sister school program, the establishment of a disaster safe education unit, the establishment of the Operational Unit and the Implementing Unit for disaster management. The program is run by the government along with non-state actors to be affected by the starting conditions of each party, ability to combine the resources owned by each party, to shared information and commitment to a common purpose.

In order to determine the most effective method of advertising on Instagram and attract users of the application to become permanent followers of the site, for the purposes of this paper, we used primarily collected data through weekly testing of seven selected methods. Five organic (increasing the number of followers and interactions – removing inactive followers, tracking posting time, changing the number of “tags”, “liking” other users’ content and a combination of 4 “likes” and 1 comment) and two paid directly from the Instagram application (foreign advertising and advertising for the domestic market). The results of the research were processed by descriptive statistics. The paper represents the synergy of theoretical and empirical work. The first part will theoretically describe facts related to the second, empirical, part of the paper and the case study, which was designed and researched. The idea stemmed from the need to select the most successful methods from the large number of the ones used to organically increase the number of followers and the number of interactions on the site. There was also a need to check whether these methods were as good for advertising as they were paid for. Also, it was necessary to determine whether they bring results in relation to the invested engagement. Comparing the achieved results of organic and paid advertising methods, it was found that certain organic advertising methods give better results in some parameters than paid ones, while paid ones give better results in other parameters.

Semarang, as the capital city of Central Java province, Indonesia, has been exercising its own diplomacy in pursuit of its interests related to economy and disaster. Under the leadership of mayor named Mr. Hendrar “Hendi” Prihadi, the city administration has been practicing city diplomacy as a means to attract both domestic and foreign investors by convening a business forum, called Semarang Business Forum (Sembiz), and to explore partnership in building the city’s disaster resilience by joining a city network, called 100 Resilient Cities (100RC). According to the argument by Keating (1999) in explaining Para diplomacy, this paper argues that Hendi administration’s strategies in exercising city diplomacy were shaped by its motives, as reflected in Regional Long Term Development Plan (RPJMD), and the opportunity structure in terms of existing regimes where the city could observe suitable cooperation. This paper finds that Hendi administration benefited from city diplomacy in solving local urban issues, such as the tidal and flash flooding problem in the coastal area of Semarang.

Istraživanjem se nastojalo utvrditi uticaj afektivne vezanosti u djetinjstvu kao prediktora stresa, anksioznosti, depresije i adverzivnih iskustava kod mladih. Uzorak istraživanja činilo je 202 ispitanika, ujednačeni po polu (Nm=102; Nž=100), koji dolaze sa područja grada Bihać i okoline. Za potrebe istraživanja korišteni su upitnik depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (DASS skala), upitnik adverzivnih iskustava iz djetinjstva (ACE) i upitnik porodične afektivne vezanosti (PAVb). Nepotpunost porodice narušava porodičnu strukturu i remeti njeno prirodno stanje što može dovesti do patologije afektivne vezanosti koja se u našem istraživanju pokazala kao značajan prediktor internalizirajućih (simptomi anksioznosti i depresije) promjena u ponašanja kod mladih (p.01). Nekonzistentnost odnosa u porodici dovodi i do potencijalno traumatskih, adverzivnih, iskustva koja je osoba mogla da doživi u periodu od rođenja do 18 godine života a čija simptomatologija je pokazana na statistički značajnom nivou (p.01) u ovom istraživanju. Istraživanja ukazuju na konzistentne spolne razlike u kojima žene imaju intezivnije internalizirajuće simptome od muškaraca što u ovom istraživanju nije pokazano kroz statističku značajnost. Naime, zbog razlika u adolescenciji koje postoje u stilu suočavanja sa stresnim situacijama između muškaraca i žena, rezultati ovog istraživanja ukazuju da postoje razlike u kojima muškarci pokazuju statistički značajnije (p.01) ispoljvanje depresivnosti i u prosjeku izraženije simptome anksioznosti i adverzivnih iskustava, a žene samo statistički značajno (p.01) ispoljavanje simptoma stresa.

Problem agresije i agresivnosti veoma je aktuelan u naše vreme. Sama agresija nije nasilje, ali to postaje kada se ispolji kao kriminalni akt. Dosadašnja teoretska sagledavanja i konkretna istraživanja prirode nasilnog ponašanja bar u određenoj meri impliciraju da su mnogi poremećaji u strukturi ponašanja (između ostalog i nasilno, kriminalno ponašanje) jednim delom uslovljeni i poremećenim porodičnim odnosima. Aktuelno istraživanje, oslanjajući se na teoriju afektivnog vezivanja, imalo je za cilj da ispita da li postoje neke razlike unutar grupe nepsihotičnih počinilaca nasilja sa različitim obrascima porodične afektivne vezanosti u odnosu na vrstu i nivo agresivnosti. Ispitivanje je provedeno na uzorku od 62 ispitanika muškog pola, sa istorijom počinjenja nekog nasilnog krivičnog dela. U ispitivanju usvojenih obrazaca porodične afektivne vezanosti (PAV) korišćen je modifikovani Brenanov upitnik za procenjivanje PAV, dok su nivo i struktura agresivnosti ispitivani pomoću skale agresivnosti BPAG. Rezultati su pokazali da sigurno vezani ispitanici imaju najniži nivo agresivnosti po svim modalitetima koje meri korišćena skala u odnosu na ispitanike sa nesigurnim vezivanjem. Takođe, ispitanici sa okupiranim obrascem vezivanja pokazuju značajno veći nivo hostilnosti, a plašljivo vezani pokazuju značajno veći nivo besa, hostilnosti i ukupne agresivnosti. Između sigurno i odbacujuće vezanih nije nađena statistički značajna razlika.

Job satisfaction is positive emotional state, which is result of evaluation of some work experience. It is a multidisciplinary phenomenon, which is influenced by multiple internal and external factors. In this paper, employee satisfaction or job satisfaction was observed as a dependent variable, while interpersonal relationships are defined as influencing factor, i.e. independent variable. Interpersonal relationships imply establishment of social relations and connections between individuals at work. Interpersonal relationships can be defined as the subjective experience of employee in interaction or connection with another person (colleagues or superiors). Factors such as gender, age, education, work experience and job position are included in the analysis as control variables. Main hypothesis in this paper states that positive interpersonal relationships have impact on employee satisfaction. The independent variable is divided into three segments, namely: communication and work climate, relationship with superiors and relationship with colleagues. Each segment of interpersonal relationships was separately tested in relation to the dependent variable. The base of this paper is an empirical research conducted in 2019. Based on the survey questionnaire, data from 143 employees in the surveyed company were collected. Data processing was performed on the basis of statistical software for social sciences-SPSS. Descriptive and correlation analysis were applied in the data analysis. All hypotheses tested were confirmed. Testing the hypotheses confirm that there is a statistically significant relationship between observed variables and that there is a moderate positive correlation, which implies that interpersonal relationship is a factor of job satisfaction. Main limitation of this research relates to the observation of relationship between variables in a single business entity. However, the coverage of all employees in the conducted research and the high response rate of employees (82%) provide a good basis for data analysis and giving some general conclusions. Detailed description of research methodology enables its repetition in other organizations.

The aim of this paper is to get acquainted with the process of integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the European Union. On May 26, 1999, the Commission presented a proposal to initiate the so-called Stabilization and Association Process. This was approved at the meeting of the Council of the European Union in Luxembourg on June 21, 1999. The Stabilization and Association Process was formalized at the Zagreb Summit in 2000, at which the Union reaffirmed its desire to contribute to the consolidation of democracy and to give decisive support to the process of reconciliation and cooperation between the countries of the Western Balkans. The term Western Balkans is political and is used to distinguish this group of countries from previous ones that have already established relations with the European Union. Methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, description, compilation and content analysis were used in the research. The research shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina still does not sufficiently meet the criteria relating to the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities, set by the Copenhagen European Council in 1993. Bosnia and Herzegovina must align its constitutional framework with European standards and ensure the functionality of its institutions in order to be able to take on the Union’s obligations. In this regard, it is necessary to reform the institutions so that they can effectively participate in decisionmaking at EU level and implement and enforce the acquis.

Radio survives despite the opinion that it is an outdated medium that is rapidly losing its audience. It is forgotten that radio is still a medium that addresses the widest layer of the audience. The fact that the audience pays attention and time to the Internet leaves only additional space for the development of increasingly popular forms of web radio that appeal to the younger generations. The radio journalist has changed his status and is becoming multidimensional, ready to go to the field, record, edit and address the audience. Radio may have lost its original form but with its convergent abilities it has a new chance to become among the media of first choice because young people in their loneliness increasingly appreciate intimacy, someone’s imaginary presence and the warmth of a voice. We will especially analyze radio area in Bosnia and Herzegovina which is still awaiting the implementation of radio digitalization in order to keep pace with changes in the world and the environment. During that time, it is necessary to provide all the preconditions for overcoming technological limitations.

The principle of separation of powers is one of the basic pillars of the rule of law, and its essence is to prevent abuse of power because the division of power does not exclude the possibility of intertwining competencies of different holders of state power. Precisely because of this, no matter in what form the division of power is realized, conflicts between different holders of power and encroachment on the competence of other holders of power are inevitable. Disputes about conflicts of jurisdiction arise under the influence of various factors, the most important of which is certainly the form of state organization, ie the degree of territorial decentralization and the way in which the division of power at the vertical level was achieved. Any form of decentralization, be it federal units, territorial autonomy or local self-government units, is necessarily a source of potential conflicts between central and non-central government. Therefore, the basic issue that arises in any form of decentralized state, and especially the federal one, is precisely the issue of the relationship between central and noncentral government. The paper pays special attention to Bosnia and Herzegovina, ie the issue of distribution of competencies as a factor of competition disputes and the role of the Constitutional Court in resolving these disputes and establishing clear boundaries between different holders of state power in the vertical.
