The paper claims that the lift is a legitimate topic of sociological observation and analysis. It is a great unknown in Serbian sociology, which is not also the case in the foreign most general of all social sciences, where the contributions of S. Hirschauer and J. Levin stand out. The author, in the form of 14 sociological vignettes on events in, in front of, behind and around the lift, shows and proves that „the lift is not a toy" - a mere technological invention, nor an insignificant object in urban spaces, but indeed „the smallest sociological laboratory".

The current discussion on numerous and diverse issues and problems of villages and agriculture, which takes place within the analysis of social sciences, always implies the same question: how to achieve the projected and desired development of rural areas of Montenegro, and what are the primary areas, types and directions of its realization? Development of a rural areas and family farms is a long-term process which in theory and in development practice has been unjustifiably reduced to a very simplified agrarian-economic paradigm, in which the whole social progress was observed exclusively through the prism of technical-technological growth and development and is seen as a very simple form of economic and productivity growth. Sociological knowledge about the village has overcome this simplified agro-economic positivism and approaches this problem with a more elementary sense of man and space. This paper presents a brief overview of sociological knowledge about the village and rural development in general, by emphasizing the work of Professor Ratko Bozovic „Naturalness of the village", aimed to find adequate truths about future development and revitalization of Montenegrin rural areas in general.

In this paper, we present the notion of a magic pair of digits in a number system with an arbitrary basis b, and we study its equivalent definitions. In particular, we determine all pairs of magic digits in decimal, octal, hexadecimal, and binary number system. We use magic pairs of digits to derive a new multiplication formula. In the end, we give an application of a well-known formula related to magic pairs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
