Po pitanju uvećanja individualne slobode i ljudskog blagostanja, asocijativizam kao svoj centralni normativni zahtev određuje aktivnosti čiji je primarni zadatak da se što veći broj relevantnih socijalnih funkcija prenese na voluntarističke, demokratske, samoupravljajuće i pluralne asocijacije civilnog/građanskog društva. Uvažavajući prethodno, u ovm radu će se analizirati asocijativnog sistema društvenog blagostanja sa posebnim akcentom na razliku u odnosu na socijal-demokratski model.

U ovoj studiji se pokušava dekonstruisati neokolonijalni status Srbije. U radu se tvrdi da je Srbija samokolonizovana preko dva kulturalna varijeteta: preko delovanja drugosrbijanskih, vesternizovanih liberalno-demokratskih elita i preko delovanja prvosrbijanskih, tradicionalizovanih elita. Pokazano je kako i jedan i drugi diskurs favorizuju neoimperijalne imperative i agende. Dekolonizujeće rešenje se vidi u hibridizaciji kulture preko koncepata „kulture srpske dušeˮ i „super-Srbinaˮ.

This paper introduces modular and context-aware evaporative cooling for the outdoor urban environment as a physical structure that could be implemented at various scales and physical contexts. We propose a technique for collecting occupancy and climatic data to create a computational context and optimise its operation. We then outline a concept for developing a predictive algorithm that would further enhance its performance. The research focuses on the interaction between the proposed system and the environment and establishes an evidence-based technique to balance the temperature drop and the humidity it generates. The study combines architectural design, mechanical engineering and computer science to enable the upscaled application of evaporative cooling to help reduce local heat accumulation in cities.

This paper presents an overview of a research study on the position of persons with disabilities (PWD) in the labour market of the Boka Kotorska region, in the municipalities of Tivat, Kotor and Herceg Novi. This original research study is based on an analysis of the perception and attitudes of PWD regarding their position in the labour market. The study looks into the attitudes of PWD towards: education, employment, motivation to engage in employment, and the challenges they face in seeking employment in the region of Boka Kotorska. Simultaneously, it tested the impact of the different forms and types of disability, as well as age on potential employment. Data on unemployment of PWD in Boka Kotorska, combined with the activities and capacities of employers in the area of employment of PWD were analysed. The research findings indicate certain internal and external barriers in the labour market. PWD mostly face the following problems: difficulties with obtaining employment, lack of recognition of their potential, prejudice on behalf of employers regarding their skills and capacities, early abandonment of education, and physical barriers. A certain number of PWD faces limitations primarily related to low levels of motivation to: engage in employment, actively seek employment, engage in professional rehabilitation programmes, advance in education, self-employ. However, a majority of PWD wish to engage in some form of employment, in areas that are adapted to their capacities, and with modified working hours.

U ovome radu se raspravlja intenzitet, forma i stepen osvešćenosti postmodernizacije socijalnog rada. U tom smislu, pod postmodernizacijom socijalnog rada se podrazumeva njegovo diskurzivno/metanarativno smeštanje u kontekst globalno postmodernizovanih društva, kako na nivou spoljne institucionalne mreže značenja, tako i na nivou unutrašnjeg rekonfigurisanja, reformulisanja, redefinisanja i reorganizovanja po novim, postmodernim, načelima, agendama i zahtevima. Međutim, to ne znači apsorbovanje nekim drugim metanarativom, već formulisanje autentičnog metanarativa socijalnog rada. Objašnjenje posmodernosti i postmodernizacije ne mora nužno biti deo „intelektualno-spekulativneˮ sfere postmodernizma, modernističke teorije mogu biti integrisane sa postmodernističkim diskurzivnim protokolima u svrhu hibridnog objašnjenja nekog odnosnog fenomena. Takav stav/pozicija se afirmiše preko propitivanja/dekonstrukcije TIME/TIME modela i odnosa neoliberalnog metanarativa i metanarativa socijalnog rada.

This paper starts from the assumption that Jean Baudrillard represents one of the most significant post-poststructuralist/post-postmodernist thinkers. It deals with his early works: the characteristics of the system of objects structured into a “consumer society” and with the reformulation of Marxism on the basis of semiological theories of sign. The paper concludes that capitalism establishes social domination by imposing a system of sign values where the individual is assimilated by the consumer society and subordinated to its domination through acts of consumption. Ergo, consumption is an algorithm for the commodification of social homogenization and hegemony.

This paper theoretically examines the transformation in understanding borders within the COVID-19 (post-)pandemic context. The first part of the paper analyses the immunitary discourse as a new form of governance and interpretation of the "coronocratic" state. The second part explores the advantage of the dynamic/kinetic over static interpretation of boundaries and the importance of their hybrid and polymorphic attributes in the transition to the post-Westphalian international order. In the final part, it considers the implications of the pandemic metanarrative under which COVID-19 is treated as a dominant external threat, a specific type of enemy. Finally, the paper is concluded by identifying a two-fold process in their perception. This process, on the one hand, includes the reduction of the kinetic potentials of borders and, on the other, their externalization to the territories of allochthonous/"third" countries.

This study examines the role of a specific behavioural model in the design process, based on an on-going architectural project for redevelopment of a public space. The employed model may be used to register environmental conditions and process information to create visible effects within the given public space. The approach concentrates on overcoming the problem of insufficient contextual information provided in the design brief. The discussion focuses on advantages and shortcomings of a design strategy based on real time data collection, including vehicular and pedestrian traffic, temperature, relative air humidity, insulation, pollution etc. and on establishing relevance of such information for the proposed built form and design decision making.

This paper investigates the role of performative models within the context of architectural design. Understanding the performances of the built environment can be postulated in rather different manners. It is commonly expected that the built environment complies with the diverse and changing requirements of its users. It is equally required that buildings are economically constructed, easily maintained, energy efficient, safe and aesthetically pleasing. Yet, such expectations are complex and consist of a great number of intertwined effects that are not easy to synchronize during architectural design process. Although they can be precisely evaluated and quantitatively expressed, the values specifying the performances, such as temperature, humidity and intensity of light or sound, in traditionally established course of architectural design are usually only considered throughout the post-rationalization or correction of the architectural design. The research presented in this paper explores design mechanisms, for direct and formative incorporation of feedback information into the very conception of architectural form. Ovaj rad istražuje ulogu performativnog modela u procesu arhitektonskog projektovanja. Razumevanje performansi izgrađenog okruženja možemo postaviti na veoma različite načine. Danas očekujemo da izgrađeni objekti budu usklađeni sa različitim i promenljivim potrebama svojih korisnika, da budu ekonomično izgrađeni, pogodni za održavanje, energetski efikasni, bezbedni i estetski ugodni. Međutim, ovakva očekivanja su složena i sastoje se od velikog broja međusobno povezanih uticaja koje nije lako uskladiti tokom arhitektonskog projektovanja. Iako mogu biti precizno evaluirane i izražene kvantitativnim putem, vrednosti koje određuju performanse, kao što su temperatura, vlažnost, intenzitet svetlosti ili zvuka, u tradicionalno uspostavljenom toku arhitektonskog projektovanja se najčešće primenjuju samo za naknadnu racionalizaciju ili delimičnu korekciju arhitektonskog projekta. Predmet istraživanja ove studije se odnosi na mehanizme za neposredno i formativno uključivanje povratnih informacija, koje nastaju putem evaluacije modela, u sam tok koncepcije arhitektonske forme.
