description: Pregled is a journal which had been, in the early years of publishing (February 1910 – April 1913), oriented towards scientific and social issues. Pregled was first published at a time when the Bosnian Council was being convened (1910) and amidst Austro-Hungarian attempts to strengthen its authority through the constitution. In this period, a strong dichotomy was felt among the parties, regarding the national issue, while religious intolerance dominated. In such a situation, the Pregled journal was initiated. The journal’s subject matter was precisely defined, as well as the issues it would deal with, including scientific, social, political, literary and economical issues. Only the documented, scientific articles in the field of sociology, politics, science, literature and culture were published. Prof. dr. Jefto Dedijer was the editor-in-chief, while the Serb Shareholding Printing Press printed the journal. In a relatively short time period, Pregled established itself as a journal dealing with a wide range of cultural issues, relying on the progressive public and promoting political ideas opposing those of the Austro-Hungarian national orientation. The journal’s associates had clear views on the national culture, politics and freedom and would oftentimes publish their numerous disquisitions on scientific, cultural and social issues anonymously. In the first phase, Pregled was mainly a review which focused on social, political and cultural issues. Its aim was to stimulate the awakening of the national awareness in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although reasons why the journal Pregled, initiated by the domestic intellectual powers, stopped being published remain unknown, one can assume that the difficult situation and turbulence in all spheres of social, political and economic live of Bosnia and Herzegovina were the main causes. Pregled was published again on 7 February 1927, in the newly-formed state of Yugoslavia. Some former associates and initiators of the journal, toge…

Baumanova analiza straha, grada i sigurnosti u fluidnoj modernosti / Bauman’s Analysis of Fear, the City and Security in Liquid Modernity
type: item
description: This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the concept of fear within Bauman’s conception of liquid modernity. Proceeding from the assumption that fear in contemporary societies is not a temporary or transient emotional state, but rather a permanent and structural social fact, the paper examines the key elements of Bauman’s interpretation of insecurity, uncertainty, and risk. Particular attention is devoted to the relationship between individualization and the privatization of security, the transformation of urban space into a site onto which fear of otherness is projected, and the changing role of the state, which Bauman describes as the personal safety state. The paper is theoretical and interpretative in nature and does not seek to empirically test the propositions presented. Instead, it aims to analytically reconstruct Bauman’s arguments and position them within the broader sociological debate on modernity, risk, and security. It also highlights the analytical value of Bauman’s approach for understanding contemporary forms of social insecurity, while addressing its limitations in explaining the possibilities of collective responses to structurally produced fears.

title: Transformacijsko i transakcijsko rukovođenje u predikciji radnog angažmana: nalazi iz IT sektora / Transformational and Transactional Leadership in Predicting Work Engagement: Findings from the IT Sector
description: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of transformational and transactional leadership styles on work engagement in the IT sector. The IT industry is characterized by a dynamic and rapidly changing work environment, high turnover rates, and a strong need for innovation, creativity, and teamwork, making leadership style crucial for employee motivation and engagement. The study was conducted with a sample of 334 employees from the IT sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Leadership styles were measured using the TLI scale, and work engagement was assessed using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The results revealed a strong positive correlation between transformational leadership style and work engagement, while the transactional leadership style showed a weaker but still significant positive correlation. However, hierarchical regression analysis indicated a significant predictive power of the transformational leadership style and a negative effect of the transactional leadership style on work engagement when both styles were considered simultaneously. These findings emphasize the importance of focusing on the development of transformational leadership as a key factor in enhancing work engagement within the IT sector. The results highlight the importance of strategically developing leadership competencies within the IT sector, with a focus on strengthening transformational leadership practices. Such an approach can significantly contribute to increasing work engagement levels, which is crucial for maintaining competitiveness and innovation in this sector.

Kultura ravnodušnosti: problem fluidnosti morala / The Culture of Indifference: the Problem of Moral Fluidity
type: item
description: This paper explores the phenomenon of the culture of indifference and the problem of moral fluidity in contemporary society. The theoretical framework is primarily based on the work of Zygmunt Bauman, complemented by insights from other relevant authors such as Hannah Arendt, Émile Durkheim, and Byung-Chul Han. Methodologically, the paper relies on qualitative analysis and interpretation of theoretical sources, applying a critical-comparative approach that connects classical and contemporary sociological and philosophical perspectives. The findings show that morality in liquid modernity loses its stable foundations and transforms into “fluid morality,” marked by subjectivity, superficiality, and fragmentation. In this context, indifference does not stem merely from a lack of empathy, but rather from systemic pressure, emotional exhaustion, and the normalization of alienation. The paper concludes that the culture of indifference is one of the defining features of contemporary society and that moral renewal requires a return to an ethic of responsibility and sensitivity to the Other.

Stavovi građana o osobama s duševnim smetnjama: od predrasuda do prihvaćenosti / Citizens’ Attitudes Toward Persons with Mental Health Difficulties: From Prejudice to Acceptance
type: item
description: This paper examines the perceptions of citizens, university professors, and practitioners regarding the stigmatization and social acceptance of persons with mental health difficulties. The aim of the study was to investigate the presence of stereotypes, prejudice, social distance, and discrimination toward persons with mental health difficulties, as well as to identify factors contributing to their stigmatization and possibilities for destigmatization. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach. The quantitative component included a survey of 175 citizens from Sarajevo Canton and Tuzla Canton, while the qualitative component involved the analysis of responses to open-ended questions and 20 semi-structured interviews with university professors and social workers. The findings indicate that stereotypes, prejudice, and social distance toward persons with mental health difficulties are still present, although the majority of participants expressed willingness to accept and support these individuals. Education, media campaigns, direct contact with persons with mental health difficulties, and their greater participation in public life were identified as the most important mechanisms for reducing stigmatization. The contribution of this study lies in providing a better understanding of the complexity of stigmatization through the analysis of perceptions held by different social groups, while highlighting the need for the development of systemic and multisectoral activities aimed at destigmatization and the social inclusion of persons with mental health difficulties in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ibn al-Haytham, nagovjestitelj moderne znanosti / Ibn al-Haytham, the Harbinger of Modern Science
type: item
description: Without the civilizational achievements of the Muslim mind, the rise of the modern West could not have occurred in the familiar format. The powers that directly enabled this rise were unleashed by modern science, and they had long been prepared in the spiritual efforts that had taken place centuries earlier in the philosophy and science of ancient Greece, Hellenism, and especially classical Islamic civilization. The decisive influence of Islamic civilization is nowhere so clear and significant as in natural science and the scientific spirit. The achievements of Muslim scientists in mathematics (algebra, the foundations of geometry, and trigonometry), spherical astronomy, medicine, mechanics, physics, and optics, their new scientific approach, experiment, and inductive method, strongly influenced the formation of Western scientific macro-consciousness and determined the emergence of modern science. Some of the greatest Muslim philosophical and scientific minds, such as Ibn Sina, al-Biruni, Ibn al-Haysam, and Ibn Rushd, made a particularly significant contribution to this. The paper presents some of the most significant scientific achievements of Ibn al-Haytham, a polymath and probably the greatest scientific mind of the medieval world. His scientific reputation rests mostly on his contributions in the fields of mathematics and physics, that is, geometric and physiological optics, which he established as a special artistic discipline, and on his unique contributions to the foundation of the scientific method. Mathematics becomes the basis of his natural science research; it combines the methods of natural philosophy (physics) and mathematics and introduces the verification of observation when proving the research hypothesis. The paper also presents the main ideas presented in his seven-volume work Kitab al-Manazer (The Book of Optics), the most important work written about light until the appearance of Newton's Optics. This work is at the basis of the development of t…

Centralna Bosna kao regionalno područje sa gradom Travnikom u XIX i XX / Central Bosnia as a Regional Area with the City of Travnik in the 19th and 20th Centuries
type: item
description: In the Lašva Valley, rural and urban settlements have formed throughout history. Since the Middle Ages, Travnik has been the urban center of Central Bosnia. Its geographical position has allowed the city of Travnik to be a vizier's city for 150 years and thus the military-administrative center of Bosnia during the Ottoman period (1699–1850). From the 1860s, the city of Travnik had the status of one of the six Sanjaks of Bosnia, and during the Austro-Hungarian administration it was the center of the Travnik District. In the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Travnik had the status of a district until 1929. During the socialist development of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Travnik became a strong industrial center and the center of inter-municipal institutions. During the war from 1992–1995, Travnik was the center of a district within which defense, economic, and humanitarian activities were organized. Since the Washington Peace Agreement, Travnik has become the center of the Central Bosnia Canton. As a multiethnic area, the Central Bosnia Canton includes the municipalities of: Travnik, Vitez, Busovača, Kiseljak, Donji Vakuf, Bugojno, Gornji Vakuf, Uskoplje, Jajce, Doboretiće, Fojnica, Novi Travnik, Kreševo. The Central Bosnia Canton has become the carrier of the social, economic, and cultural development of Central Bosnia within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a multiethnic area, the entirety of Central Bosnia has a special role in preserving the integrity and multiethnic nature of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author's paper will elaborate on the most important development projects of the Central Bosnia Canton within the process of integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the European Union in the post-Dayton period. The focus will be on development projects in the field of economy with a focus on foreign investment as well as in the fields of transport, health, education and culture. The starting point is that innovative projects will achieve progress in the development …

title: Reduciranje pojma ulema na vjerske autoritete kao jedan od važnih faktora stagnacije u muslimanskom svijetu / Reducing the Concept of the Ulama to That of Religious Authorities as One of the Major Factors in the Stagnation of the Muslim World
description: In the history of Islamic civilization, particularly between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, the concept of the ulama underwent a process of differentiation. Historically, the term came to denote scholars exclusively within the religious domain—that is, religious authorities—while excluding scholars from other scientific fields and disciplines. Over time, an authoritative class of ulama, or theologians, was formed, with all other scholars remaining outside its institutional framework. Such a division of knowledge has no foundation in the Qur’an, since the Qur’an regards all branches of knowledge as Islamic insofar as it takes an interest in them and accords equal respect to all scholars and to all sciences that serve humankind and study the world as God’s creation within an ethical framework. This Qur’anic principle prevailed during the first several centuries of Islamic civilization, or Islamic culture. The subsequent division proved harmful, however, because it strengthened the authority of religious disciplines alone—those concerned with the study of Islam—while diminishing the status of other branches of knowledge and thereby hindering their inventiveness and creativity, despite the fact that such a distinction is manifestly unsupported by the Qur’an. This legacy continues to be reflected today in the misunderstanding and misuse of such expressions as “Islamic sciences,” “the sciences of Islam,” and “Islamic studies.”

Uloga Fikreta, bodybuildera sa osmjehom, na život žene Suade / The Enduring Agency of Fikret the Smiling Bodybuilder in Suada's Journey
type: item
description: This text is a translation of the article "The Enduring Agency of Fikret the Smiling Bodybuilder in Suada’s Journey", originally published in English in Anthropological Notebooks, 31(2), 2025. Translated from English and adapted by: Dr. Petra Hamer (petra.hamer@ff.uni-lj.si) This article examines the agency of a deceased husband as it continues to affect his former wife’s life. Over thirty years have passed since he became one of the countless victims of violence during the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 1990s. Today, his wife keeps a memorial room in their hometown, preserving his memory as the first and most celebrated Bosnian bodybuilder, and ensuring that his legacy endures. These continuing bonds serve as both a mourning process and a celebration of his life. Two forms of agency of the dead are presented in the article: material and spiritual. The material agency is expressed through physical markers of remembrance such as the tombstone, the memorial room, and the commemorative plaque. The spiritual agency manifests in the dreams his wife experiences, which provide her with a sense of connection and guidance. This analysis examines the agency of the dead through the individual act of maintaining bonds with the deceased, while situating the narrative within the broader context of Verdery’s concept of the politicization of dead bodies. This approach highlights how personal mourning intertwines with collective memory and cultural significance.

Progonjena dvjema aktualnim guernikama, Europa traži svoj moralni trijumf / Haunted by Two Contemporary Guernicas, Europe Seeks its Moral Triumph
type: item
description: Gonjen dvjema gernikama, koje lakomisleno zovemo sukobima, bez kraja i jasna početka - Palestinom i Ukrajinom - te zarobljen u ciklusu konfrontacijske beznade, europski kontinent se ćuti demoralizirano i dezorijentirano, deindustrijalizirano i obespravljeno. Svjedočeći gubitku sopstvene geopolitičke centralnosti, raspadu globalne suradnje — moglo bi se reći: deglobalizaciji (slowbalisation)— svojom nutar-njem razognjištavanju, urušavanju društvene kohezije i pucanju međugeneracijskog ugovora. Europa očajnički traži ne samo stabilnost, već i svoj moralni trijumf.

Od Sjedinjenih Američkih Država do Kine: Međunarodna razvojna pomoć kao instrument geopolitike / From the United States to China: International Development Assistance as an Instrument of Geopolitics
type: item
description: International development aid is a means by which a certain country can implement its own geopolitical goals in a certain area. In the paper, we will try to present how international development aid has an effect in the geopolitical context, and we will examine what its main goals are. This type of activity is most often noticeable in large powers such as the United States of America and China, but it is evident that the countries of the European Union are also continuously investing their resources in this segment. In the context of the methodological approach, historical, polyeconomic, analysis, data collection2, compilation, and synthesis methods will prevail in this work. The main results we reached indicate that international development aid is a geopolitical tool of great powers, which can achieve the desired results, but not necessarily, which is our main hypothesis. The paper will present examples of how great powers use development aid for geopolitical purposes, from the end of the Second World War until today, and that this type of action is a globally widespread phenomenon.

Kosovska neovisnost u dnevnoj štampi BiH / Kosovo's Independence in the Daily Press of BiH
type: item
description: This paper analyzes the ways in which four of the most influential daily newspapers in Bosnia and Herzegovina – Dnevni avaz, Nezavisne novine, Dnevni list, and Oslobođenje – reported on the declaration of independence of the Republic of Kosovo on February 17, 2008. The study covers the period from February 15 to 20, 2008, focusing on the forms, styles, and methods of news transmission regarding the preparations for the declaration day, the act of independence itself, celebrations in Kosovo, the security situation, protests in Serbia and Banja Luka, and international reactions. The analysis is based on content analysis methodology, with special emphasis on the phenomenon of interpretive polarization. In the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a multiethnic state, media discourse often reflects ethnically segmented readerships, significantly influencing the interpretation of political events. Particular attention is given to the role of the media in shaping public opinion and political attitudes during moments of historical significance. Therefore, the research considers not only the informative but also the interpretive and educational functions of print media. The selected newspapers represent the most widely read sources of information in the country, and their analysis offers insight into how ethnic and political contexts shape journalistic approaches to regionally significant issues.

title: Alternativni načini rješavanja porodičnih sporova: Smanjenje troškova i očuvanje najboljeg interesa djeteta / Alternative Dispute Resolution in Family Disputes: Reducing Costs and Preserving the Best Interests of the Child
description: How can economic approaches contribute to maximizing family welfare, while highlighting the ethical limitations of economic analysis when it comes to the best interests of the child and the family’s wellbeing? This question lies at the heart of discussions within the economic analysis of law, particularly regarding the role and effectiveness of mediation/family mediation as an alternative method for resolving family disputes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The authors of this paper examine the application of alternative dispute resolution methods, with a specific focus on mediation, within the context of family law. Mediation is analyzed as an effective tool that reduces financial and emotional costs, accelerates legal processes, and facilitates a more private and less adversarial way of resolving conflicts among family members. While the economic approach to dispute resolution emphasizes cost reduction and efficiency, the paper underscores the necessity of aligning these principles with fundamental legal norms, particularly the principle of the best interests of the child, which must remain a priority. Through a comparative analysis, including the Bosnian-Herzegovinian experience, the paper discusses the usefulness of mandatory mediation in reducing the burden on the judicial system, while also questioning the preservation of voluntariness as a foundational principle of mediation. Based on these insights, the paper suggests a combination of flexibility and mandatory elements, depending on the type of dispute and the parties involved, as the optimal approach. Furthermore, it highlights the need to adjust the legal framework to allow for broader application of mediation, while ensuring compliance with ethical standards and safeguarding the rights of all participants in the mediation process. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes how alternative dispute resolution methods, considering economic cost parameters and the protection of the best interests of the child, represent a…

Digitalni nekrolozi i 'posthumni' identiteti: Fenomen virtuelnog života nakon smrti / Digital Obituaries and 'Posthumous' Identities: The Phenomenon of Virtual Life After Death
type: item
description: The phenomenon of digital obituaries and posthumous identities is increasingly shaping the way contemporary society perceives death, remembrance, and the grieving process. Death no longer signifies the complete end of social presence, as digital profiles of the deceased remain active on social media platforms even after physical death, enabling a continuity of symbolic connection with them. This paper explores the emotional, psychological, social, ethical, and legal dimensions of digital memorialization, focusing on the impact of virtual spaces and algorithmic reminders on the grieving process and emotional resolution. A qualitative approach was employed in analyzing secondary sources, grounded in contemporary theories of identity, grief, and digital legacy. The paradoxes of digital mourning are analyzed, wherein memorial profiles and digital obituaries may offer a sense of presence and support, yet simultaneously prolong emotional attachment and hinder acceptance of loss. The paper also examines how the algorithmic functioning of digital platforms generates memories and reminders without sensitivity to the emotional state of users, potentially burdening the grieving process further. It raises critical ethical and legal questions surrounding the management of digital identities after death, including unclear ownership, control, and rights to content removal. The complexity of survivors’ emotional responses and the growing significance of digital legacy further reinforce the need for clear regulations aligned with the psychological dimensions of grief and ethical principles of dignity. In this context, digital memorialization emerges not only as a form of remembrance, but also as a challenge requiring thoughtful consideration within the frameworks of mental health, social practice, and legal accountability.

title: Analiza bibliotečkih usluga u tretmanu ovisnosti: Studija iz terapijskih zajednica, centara za rehabilitaciju i zavoda za bolesti ovisnosti u Bosni i Hercegovini / Analysis of Library Services in Addiction Treatment: A Study from Therapeutic Communities, Rehabilitation Centres and Addiction Treatment Centres in Bosnia and Herzegovina
description: This research aims to examine the availability and organisation of library services in therapeutic communities and addiction treatment centres in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A quantitative method was used to collect data through a questionnaire conducted in several institutions. The obtained data was analysed using descriptive statistical methods. The results show that four out of seven institutions have a library, none of which has a formally regulated operation or employs professional library staff. The library funds mainly contain religious, spiritual and literary publications, most frequently supplemented through donations. The use of libraries by residents is limited, records of use are rarely kept, while cooperation with the city libraries does not exist. Only three institutions implement bibliotherapy as part of their work program. The research indicates a low level of development and institutional support for library services in these institutions, but also their potential in the rehabilitation of addicts. The obtained results can serve as a basis for improving these services through staff empowerment, better equipment and inter-institutional cooperation.
