The protection of children at work was one of the first topics addressed by labor legislation in the world. However, the regulation of child labor remains one of the insufficiently regulated areas in labor law. Within that, one of the newer topics is light work of children. This form of child labor has existed since time immemorial, especially in the family and household, so it is considered useful for acquiring work habits and experience. However, it can be both dangerous and harmful. In this paper, we present the light work topic, with an emphasis on the existing regulations in the world and the possibilities for a best solutions for regulation of this form of work.

This paper follows the development of the Children’s Department, established as a separate unit with a reading room for children only in 2012, when the Library moved to new library space. The establishment of the Children’s Department at the Public Library “Đura Jakšić” brought new priorities, primarily activities to promote books and reading in children and continuous implementation of innovations in the work with the youngest readers. The paper presents the results of a survey of the attitudes of elementary school students in Petrovac na Mlavi towards the library in general. Some specific activities that the Library undertakes to promote books and reading in the youngest readers are also presented. The goal of every library activity should be permanent education of the population, nurturing national specifics, as well as the assistance in the integration into the global information flows. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to start the affirmation of books and reading in a timely manner, with the youngest users. Therefore, the importance of the activities of the Children’s Department is emphasized, because: “A child who reads will be an adult who thinks.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Throughout the last several decades, the system of legal protection of children from violence in Serbia has been gradually improving, and its protection mechanisms have been harmonizing with international legal tendencies. Strategic and other documents support the systemic approach and, in conjunction with relevant regulations, represent the potential for more efficient solution of the problem of violence against children. However, adequate implementation of the existing legal norms, as well as strategic documents and plans in this field, has not yet been fully accomplished, including the continuous monitoring of the achievement of established goals and activities, which represents the major deficiency of current protection system. This paper analyzes characteristics of the development of family law and criminal law protection of children from violence, as well as the possibilities and pathways for its improvement, both in terms of normative and practical implementation of the existing solutions.

sThis paper is the result of the research on reading, membership, and library visits in order to encourage reading and increase the number of library users. The statistics are harsh and facts cannot be ignored. There are no excuses. In order to reach the unreached users, we have conducted a research the results of which provided guidelines for improvement of library management. We have designed several projects, two of which have already been implemented: You can loan every book, play the game in our nook and Baby library − Biblio-boy and Biblio-girl. The results of these projects are already visible and measurable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the study presented in this paper is to examine the way children perciеve death and children's visual presentations of death. The study includes 60 children aged 5, 6 and 7 years old and their parents. The studied groups of children have been equally divided by gender and by age. Data were also collected about the child's experience with death and completeness of their families. The interview about death, for children (Slaughter & Griffiths, 2007) and the children's drawings on the theme of “death” were used in the process of collecting the data. The relationships were tested with the ANOVA, T-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results of the research show that the way children perceive death correlates with their age; therefore, the 7-year olds have a more mature understanding of death compared to the 6-year olds and 5-year olds. The analysis of the children‟s drawings shows that the children had different visual presentations of death. The children showed mostly lonely dead people, funerals and scenes of murder on their drawings. The research results are partially consistent with the theoretical and empirical assumptions about the way in which children perceive death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the point of view of the Orthodox Church (in particular, Serbian and Russian) on the crisis of motherhood, ie. about the neglect of elementary missions of women (and men) for duty for procreation, as well as disturbed educational function which gives to the mother. Such wifely duties Orthodox Church considered as patriotic duty and the key to salvation (especially) women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drowning is the second leading cause of death in the world. Drowning usually occurs quickly and silently. Summer is the period with most drowning cases because most people look for refreshment near local (safe or unsafe) bodies of water. The aim of this paper is to consider the current state of children safety in and around water bodies in the Republic of Serbia as well as to recommend measures to improve it. The easiest way to analyze the state of children safety in and near water is to analyze statistical drowning data. After the analysis, it is possible to improve children safety and to reduce the instances of drowning as much as possible. Drowning happens as a result of numerous individual or group factors. Children safety in open and closed waters is very important both for individuals and for the whole society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The right based on childbirth (ius liberorum) which involves the obligation to bear children in marriages regulated by legal norms was first defined during the reign of Emperor Augustus. He passed a set of laws on marriage as a specific response of the Roman state to the general decline of morals and family values in Rome. The ultimate objective of the marriage laws introduced by Emperor Augustus was a demographic one and it could not be achieved without adopting a set of norms, which influenced numerous domains of law and life, restricting personal freedoms of individuals in the interest of higher goals. “The right based on childbirth” – at least as an idea – outlived the Roman Empire, experiencing various transformations. Although this right was formally abolished during the reign of Constantine, it exerted influence on the legal and social life of subsequent European states. The Government of the Republic of Serbia and its relevant ministry also opted for the measure of encouraging childbirth and granting privileges to mothers and families with several children. This has been meant to alleviate the demographic problem that Serbia is faced with. These measures can be seen as related to the Roman ius liberorum because the ultimate goal of the family laws was a demographic one. Nowadays, a very flexible view is taken regarding the regulations which restrict personal freedoms of the individual on account of higher interests (survival of the state). This should not come as a surprise when we know that today the parents’ right based on childbirth has a different connotation. Instead of the phrasing ‘the right based on childbirth’ it is nowadays referred to as an ‘allowance’ granted to the parents who decide to have offspring. The allowance is granted by the state, whose goal is to stop negative demographic trends in the state of Serbia by encouraging childbirth. It is not just the term ius liberorum that now has a different connotation, but the very notion of a parent appears to be different as well. In the Roman society, only a father could be a parent, whereas today this concept encompasses both parents, the mother just as the father. A step further has even been taken, so that today the term ‘parents’ can also imply two men (to whom a child is born by a surrogate mother) or two women (one of whom will undergo in vitro fertilisation in order to have a child).

This paper presents the results of research whose aim was to establish how children from 9 to 11 years in 14 towns in Vojvodina, suburbs and smaller settlements use their free time, focusing on the media. The basic hypothesis has been confirmed that children in Vojvodina aged between 9 and 11 years old spend a significant part of their free time without supervision / control of their parents, indiscriminately consuming primarily television contents. They are primarily interested in entertainment, less often in children or educational programs, which can be concluded from the selection of TV channels which are accompanied by their favorite shows / series / film genres. They prefer to opt for local, Turkish and Latin-American TV series and action and horror movies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article treats several provisions of family law regulations introduced during the rule of defenders of the constitution regarding parental law, adoption, foster care and guardianship and their application in practice. The position of children born in and out of wedlock, adopted children and children under guardianship are analysed separately. The authors tend to determine whether there is a gap between the letter of the law and reality. The answer to that question is positive. Concerning marital children, such practice was due to the behaviour of their parents. However, authorities bear the responsibility for misapplication of laws in respect of non-marital children and children under guardianship. The exact extent of divergence between regulations and reality is yet to be determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sociological concept of generation should be distinguished from biological and statistical, and they discussed all three of its meaning. In a sociological sense, it is characterized by a common historical experience that has its own internal and external, subjective and objective dimension. In sociology it was introduced by Dilthey, one of the main representatives of historicism, and which is characterized by discontinuous conception of history and emphasizing specificity of cultural epochs. In contemporary sociology, this concept was reaffirmed under the strong influence of Mannheim who argued that the generation is in the range of analytical categories of class and nation. The major historical generations in our society are pointed. Four generations are considered as the main age groups but also as social constructs - children, youth, middle aged and old people. Their status in the traditional and contemporary, especially in our society is pointed. In the research of generation and its main forms have formed a special sociological disciplines, except for the middle-aged who are, as a generation, at least sociologically studied.
