This paper investigates the symbolic and political identity of Belgrade and Sarajevo in Andrić's novel The Woman from Sarajevo. By combining the theoretical assumptions of cognitive narratology with the concepts of narrative/cultural/symbolic geography and culture of memory, odonyms (street names) and commemorative names of various cultural/state institutions in The Woman from Sarajevo have been interpreted. We established that odonyms (Njegoševa, Smiljanićeva, Stiška and Aleksandrova) functioned as the narrative means of political representation and various national ideologies of the past, which has opened up possibilities for defining Andrić's The Woman from Sarajevo as a political novel. The modern spirit of Andrić's narrator has problematized Rajka's attitude towards the grave/death in Sarajevo. Striving only to restore her father's wealth, to regain the lost family property, Rajka believed in the renewal of individual life through the mediation of descendants. Rajka Radaković's consciousness manifested the process of dememorization, the disappearance of symbolic signifiers from Belgrade's space. Thus, the heroine of Andrić's novel unconsciously became the bearer of the politics of a new identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multimodality in teaching is gaining more attention in contemporary research and scientific literature. It is a special communication that relies on modes, such as pictures, graphs, audio, videos, maps, etc. which by combination create certain meanings in order for the modes to be adequately combined, multimodal literacy is necessary. The aforementioned literacy in teaching helps students to create multimodal texts and tasks in a digital environment. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine how first and second-year students of Hispanic Studies at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade manage in a digital environment working on a multimodal task, as well as how they use digital tools and the Spanish language. Student presentations were exhibited and recorded via the Zoom platform, and data were collected through the observations of the researcher. Also, the research method used for research purposes is the analysis of authentic teaching materials. First-year students presented a topic about health in Spanish via the Moodle platform, while second-year students presented and created their own virtual tour in Spanish using the Padlet platform. For the analysis of multimodal activities, the criterion related to the use of modes and the creation of multimodal texts was used. The results of the analysis showed that most students were successful in creating multimodal activities, that they used mods in a creative way and that in this case it was possible to implement this type of activity because the students of this faculty and the study program are adapted to frequent application of new technologies on assignments using the Spanish language.

In the last few decades the consumption of luxury goods in the Ottoman Empire has become a very attractive topic for the researchers and subject of many studies. The paper addresses the aforementioned topic and presents the items which belonged to a high Ottoman dignitary stationed in Belgrade as a paradigm of wealth, luxury and life-style of the high Ottoman society. The Belgrade muhafiz Izzet Mehmet Pasha (1723-1784) served twice in the capacity of Grand Vezier in the Ottoman Empire (1774-1775, 1781-1782) and as a governor of the Belgrade fortress (1783-84), where he eventually died. The paper focuses on the luxurious items belonging to him personally and to his household while he was governing Belgrade. Two inheritance registries -- kept in the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister's Office in Istanbul -- were used for the purpose of analysis. The belongings found at his Belgrade household when he died included pieces of jewellery, clothes, fur, weapons made of precious metals decorated with gems and other items. Most of the items were brought by Izzet Mehmet Pasha to Belgrade when he was appointed to the duty, but it can be assumed that they were mostly purchased in the Balkans, taking into consideration that his previous post was in Plovdiv. There were also items brought from the Western Europe, such as clocks, indicating aspects of economic and cultural relations between East and West and international trade routes passing through Belgrade. Consumption of the valuable and rare items as status symbols reflects the political power of the higher Ottoman class of Belgrade and social differentiation among the Ottomans.

In the introductory part of this paper we give different definitions of public relations activities and a brief overview of the ways this activity is performed in Serbian libraries. In Serbia, only the National Library of Serbia has a special department for public relations; none of the libraries have engaged a professional agency for these tasks, and only a few of them have planned, in their job systematization, position of one or (rarely) more than one person who should, in addition to their other duties, deal with public relations. In the main part of the paper we present the organizational model and methodology in the field of public relations of the Belgrade City Library, in order to enable interested colleagues - in libraries that still do not have any or have a poorly developed PR strategy - to obtain guidelines for its development. The work does not consider all the relationships that this public library establishes with the target groups, but focuses on two of them which are, according to the author, the most important ones: the media and the active and potential library users. In the Belgrade City Library the Cultural Programs Department is in charge of public relations, therefore the paper describes mainly the activities of this department. Although public relations in the Belgrade City Library is rather developed, there is a need for its further improvement. The key measures that should be implemented in this regard are as follows: development of a long-term PR plan, analyzing appearances of the Library in the media, intensification of work in promoting the municipal libraries and branches, intensification of relations with politicians and sponsors, improvement of internal communication - informing all the employees about the current activities and long-term plans of the Library, organization of training in the field of internal and external communication.

Non-wood forest products (NWFPs) appear as a raw material base for a range of final products used in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, etc. In addition, along with the expansion of organic production, the importance of the NWFPs market has drastically increased, both at the regional and international levels. The aim of this paper is the analysis of selected marketing mix elements (product, price, promotion and distribution) in small and medium enterprises engaged in the purchasing, processing and marketing of NWFPs in the statistical region of Belgrade. The purpose of this research is to highlight the potential of NWFPs in commercial terms, on the basis of the knowledge obtained. The research object is the volume of purchase and marketing of the most important NWFPs in domestic and foreign markets. The research is based on a time series analysis through trend formulation, as well as the analysis of the selected marketing mix elements. An increase in the purchase of raw products can be observed over a six-year period, as a result of the enhancement in the purchase of forest fruits, while the purchase volume of other products remains largely the same. When product placement on the domestic market is concerned, an increase in the purchase of products can be observed, particularly in the last three years of the observation period, as a result of the increased placement of forest fruits on the market, while other products are subject to less fluctuation. The most common products in the statistical region of Belgrade are medicinal herbs, forest fruits and mushrooms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents results of influence of thermal modification on cutting power required for milling wood processing. The experiment was conducted for the different treatment temperatures (170°C, 190°C and 210°C) and different technological parameters of processing (feed and cutting depth). Cutting powers during milling were measured on four groups of beech wood samples, dimensions 35×16×400 mm, separately for heartwood and sapwood. The following mechanical and physical properties of the processed samples were tested: bending properties (modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity), cross-sectional and tangential hardness, and ?ir-dry density. The measuring device used for measuring, monitoring and displaying cutting power was developed at the Wood Machining Centre at the Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade. The results point out the differences in the powers required for processing heat-treated wood compared to untreated wood. The analysis shows that with the increase in treatment temperature, the required cutting powers decrease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Normative rules of standard Serbian language are acquired during primary and secondary education through curriculum demands of Serbian language instruction, which takes place in three fields: grammar, orthography and culture of expression. Topic of interest in this paper is the quality of written expression of 6th and 7th grade pupils, in the context of all three fields specified to be mastered by the curriculum of Serbian language. Research comprised 148 primary school pupils from Belgrade. Linguistic analysis of spontaneously created written text was performed, in the conditions where it was not explicitly demanded form the pupil to write correctly. The results indicate that the majority of pupils make spelling and grammatical errors, meeting the condition for the basic level of mastering the knowledge in Serbian language according to the standards specified for the end of compulsory education. In addition to this, a considerable majority of pupils has a satisfactory level of culture of written expression. Pupils more often make spelling than grammatical errors. Seventh grade pupils are better than sixth grade pupils with respect to adhering to grammar rules and according to culture of written expression, while the mark in Serbian language and general school achievement of pupils correlate only with the degree of adhering to the orthographic rules. It was concluded that not only individual programs of support for pupils who make more errors are necessary, but also launching national projects for the development of linguistic competence of the young in Serbia.
