    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ZAŠTITA PORODICE S DJECOM U SOCIJALNOM ZAKONODAVSTVU FEDERACIJE BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[U radu, shodno odredbama Zakona o osnovama socijalne zaštite, zaštite civilnih žrtava rata i zaštite porodice s djecom FBiH, analizirana su odgovarajuća zakonska rješenja o zaštiti porodice s djecom s posebnim osvrtom na mogućnost praktične primjene ovog instituta. Primjena federalnog Zakona, koji normira da se propisima kantona bliže uređuju uvjeti, način, postupak, organi i finansiranje prava porodice s djecom, stvara pretpostavke za diskriminaciju i povećanje siromaštva, posebno socijalno najugroženijih porodica. Ovakav zaključak proizlazi iz činjenice da su u okviru deset kantona FBiH utvrđeni različiti iznosi osnovica i naknada porodicama s djecom. Uz to, manji broj kantona, ukupno tri, još uvijek nije usvojio kantonalne zakone o zaštiti porodice s djecom, dok pojedini kantoni uopšte ne isplaćuju određene naknade, odnosno u svojim kantonalnim zakonima ne predviđaju prava koja su porodicama s djecom zagarantovana federalnim Zakonom.   Ključne riječi: zaštita porodice s djecom, osnovna prava, Federacija BiH, kantoni, ostvarivanje, nejednakosti.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[How Micro-Level Determinants Affect the Capital Structure Choice: Evidence from Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine two leverage ratios using a sample of non-financial companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). It was done by taking into account the joint effect of traditional capital structure determinants and managers&#039; personal values and aspirations. We applied hierarchical regression analysis to determine the contribution of profitability indicators, firm size indicators, assets, growth, networking, managerial strategies, managerial psychology, managerial human capital and earnings volatility to explain the variance in capital structure. The results suggest that companies with less experienced owners/managers and higher firm growth have higher financial leverage ratios. In the analysis of the balance sheet leverage, financial proxies of capital structure seem to be significant in explaining capital structure variance. Therefore, companies with lower profitability, a lower level of fixed assets and higher growth opportunities have higher balance sheet leverage ratios. The findings provide better understanding of theoretical perspectives that can best explain how companies choose their capital structure in the transition economy context. Furthermore, empirical findings should help corporate managers to make optimal capital structure decisions.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The art of mitigating disagreement: How EFL learners do it]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The principal motivation of this study is to investigate how Macedonian learners of English mitigate their disagreement. It is a follow-up of a much broader study in the field of cross-cultural pragmatics focusing on disagreement in Macedonian and American English (Kusevska, 2012). Our cross-cultural analysis reveals that Macedonian and American native speakers show preference for different types of disagreement, the major difference being the frequency of mitigation as well as the linguistic means used for its realisation.     For the purpose of this study, we have accepted the definition that mitigation is the linguistic communicative strategy of softening an utterance, reducing the impact of an utterance, or limiting the face loss associated with a message (Fraser, 1980; Caffi, 1999, 2007; Martinovski, 2006; Clemen, 2010; Czerwionka, 2012). As mitigation in disagreement is closely connected with politeness, we have also relied on the model of politeness and the strategies for FTA realisation proposed by Brown &amp; Levinson (1978/1987). We have looked at lexical and syntactic devices such as modal auxiliaries (e.g., can/could; may/might), hedges (kind of, sort of), discourse markers (well, but, look), verbs expressing uncertainty (I think, I don’t think), verbs expressing vagueness (seem, assume, guess), conditionals etc., that learners use to mitigate their utterances.     Key words: speech acts, disagreement, politeness, mitigation, EFL learners]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The importance of value attitudes in solving intercultural conflicts]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The contemporary world is complicated and we face many difficult problems that sometimes can turn into conflicts that have to be resolved. As S. L. Dolan (2011) claims, these problems are: environmental pollution, human alienation, unemployment, crimes, drug addiction, disintegration of the family, mistreatment of the elderly, unequal distribution of wealth, food, educational opportunities, and many more. These challenges cause chaos and disturb the established sense of values across cultures. Some Lithuanian researchers (Aramavičiūtė, 2005) also maintain a view that such chaos has a major influence on people’s psychological condition as they lose the sense and meaning of life, which has a negative impact on their intra- and inter-relations.Documents from the EU also highlight the need for educational institutions to promote social cohesion, intercultural dialogue, diversity and equality. The development of personal and social skills and respect for human dignity and shared values are considered to be essential forthe resolution of intercultural problems.     The article is based on the research into the cognitive-notional component of value attitudes among students of management and foreign languages. The criteria were the acknowledgement of the importance of values and the depth of understanding of the meaning of values. The conclusion is that students have to be prepared to understand the world, its cultural variety and values, think critically, andmake a stand against injustice.Only then can there be hope for life without prejudice, violence and contempt. Educational institutions have a huge and indispensible responsibility in this respect (Popovici, 2006).      Key words: value attitudes, acknowledgment of the importance, depth of understanding, moral values, intercultural competence]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Causes and Consequences of NPLs in Bosnia and Herzegovina Banking Sector]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract:  This paper analyzes the relationship between risks to which banks are exposed, rate of non-performing loans as well as capital adequacy. The analysis was conducted among the banking sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the purpose of the analysis, the International Monetary Fund data - Core Financial Indicators for the period 2008 – 2013 were used. This study differs from previous researches primarily in the fact that the case study is Bosnia and Herzegovina, where there haven&#039;t been similar studies. To analyze and evaluate the model, correlation and regression analysis were used. The paper points to those aspects which deserve further attention in order to achieve better and more efficient management of them. Results indicate the increase in risk-weighted assets and rising rates of non-performing loans as one of the component assets. At the same time the growth rate of non-performing loans leads to the growth in risk-weighted assets and therefore the bank is exposed to major risks. Higher return on assets, as an indicator of business performance and management resources and profitability, leads to capital adequacy improvement. There is a strong correlation between the rate of capital adequacy and non-performing loans and that requires further research. Results indicate that better liquidity control leads to a reduction in the rate of non-performing loans and consequently better liquidity position of banks, and thus reduction in liquidity risk. During the analysis it was found that a large proportion of non-performing loans to total loans leads to deterioration in the financial result which is further reflected in the banks&#039; capital. When we talk about capital adequacy we come to the conclusion that the banking system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite all the shortcomings and problems is adequately capitalized.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: “Getting tough on crime” policies often result in increased number of inmates, which, in the situation of insufficient prison capacity leads to the problem of overcrowding. Overcrowding is considered one of the risk factors for the development of conflict and violent behavior as a way of resolving these conflicts. Due to the overcrowding that exists in the Croatian penal system, a survey was conducted to determine the incidence and structure of violent behavior, determining the predictive characteristics, analyzes the existing mechanisms of prevention of violence and proposing improvements for prevention of violence in the penal system. Included are various forms and directions of violence: “prisoner to prisoner” violence (experience of victimization and victimizing other prisoners), “prisoner to staff” violence and use of force against prisoners. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied. Sample comprised of 353 prisoners, 154 of warders and 193 employees of other departments. After getting results of quantitative research, focus groups or structured interviews (on the results) were conducted with prisoners and prison staff. This paper brings general descriptive data and discuss the possibilities of preventing violence in the penal system using programs based on the principles of restorative justice.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Restorative Justice in the Legislation of the Republic of Serbia]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Restorative Justice, Republic of Serbia. Changes in the criminal law in relation to adult and juvenile offenders bring about certain specific elements of restorative justice in domestic, traditionally retributive criminal justice system. The Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia provides acquittal in the art. 58 The court may acquit the perpetrator of a crime which is punishable by prison sentence of up to five years, if after committing the crime, but before he found out that he was discovered, remove the consequences of the crime or compensate for the damage caused by the crime. In article 283 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Serbia has been introduced the principle of opportunity for criminal prosecution of adult offenders. Law on Juvenile Criminal Offenders and Criminal Protection of Juveniles RS provides alternative modes of reaction to juvenile delinquency. This model means distancing of juveniles from the criminal justice system and avoiding stigmatization of minor criminal proceedings, by pronouncing of corrective measures and penalties. Moving away from the classic retributive model are reflected in the imposition of corrective orders. Also, special obligations, as a kind of corrective measures warning and guidance, contain some elements of restorative justice, which embodies in the apology to the injured and compensation for damage caused within its capabilities; and from the standpoint of community volunteer involvement in the work of humanitarian organizations or activities of social, local or environmental. One of the proposals for the reform of domestic criminal law refers to the use of restorative justice in prisons.]]></dcterms:abstract>

Kantonalna ministarstva za rad i socijalnu politiku se uglavnom fokusiraju na poslove koji se odnose na registraciju korisnika i ocjenjivanje formalno pravnih kriterija za ostvarivanje prava na socijalnu pomoć, a ne na pružanje podrške samoj porodici i djeci.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the level of SME banking development in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH). By using a structured questionnaire, the authors discuss perceptions of the banking sector representatives in BH regarding SME banking and their future plans for the management of credit risk associated with financing the SME sector. One of the main findings of this research is that the SME sector is becoming a strategic sector for BH banks and banks are willing to increase their involvement with SME clients. Authors also present results on current level of banks’ exposure to SMEs, types of financial services offered to SME’s clients by BH banks, drivers of banks’ involvement with SMEs, obstacles to further development of banks’ involvement with SMEs. Based on the banks’ responses and results of research conducted, suggestions to policy makers are given, such as tax reforms, interest rate subventions to SMEs, improvement of judiciary, simplifying administrative procedures. Also, some recommendations are given to banks, such as the need for better understanding the requirements of SME clients providing them more personal approach and creating a partnership, as well as lobbying the government bodies to change regulations governing SME sector.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Razvoj deteta, pored emotivne, zavisi i od materijalne sigurnosti. Dete, međutim, zbog svoje psihofizičke nezrelosti, nije u stanju da sopstvenim radom stiče prihode radi namirenja svojih potreba. U ovom, materijalnom aspektu, dete u potpunosti zavisi od svojih najbližih. Uobičajeno okruženje u kojem se zadovoljavaju životne potrebe deteta jeste porodica. Kada je ona funkcionalna, država se ne meša u međusobne odnose njenih članova. Međutim, kada se odnosi unutar porodice poremete, najugroženiji njen član postaje briga društva. U tom smislu, većina savremenih pravnih sistema pruža posebnu zaštitu položaju dece u pravnom poretku. U ovom radu nastojimo da prikažemo konkretna rešenja koja nude pojedine države u pogledu izdržavanja deteta.  U prvom delu rada analiziraju se opšta pravila za određivanje dečjeg izdržavanja u uporednom evropskom pravu  i posebna pravila koja postoje u situaciji kada roditelji imaju  zajedničko staranje  posle razvoda braka, odnosno u slučaju naizmeničnog boravišta deteta. Opšta pravila se analiziraju u pravu Velike Britanije, Nemačke, Danske i Rusije, a posebna u pravu Velike Britanije, Švedske, Norveške i Holandije.  U drugom delu rada analiziraju se odredbe Porodičnog zakona Srbije koje se odnose na pitanja izdržavanja maloletnog deteta. S obzirom na to da je ovim Zakonom predviđeno da se izdržavanje određuje za svaki slučaj posebno, prikazana je relevantna sudska praksa u Srbiji, koja daje okvire tumačenju relevantnih okolnosti u pogledu izdržavanja, kao prava deteta.  Ključne reči: izdržavanje deteta, naizmenično boravište, zajedničko staranje, potrebe deteta, mogućnosti davaoca izdržavanja, visina izdržavanja.]]></dcterms:abstract>
