The concept of marital paternity presumption in modern family law

This paper deals with positive domestic and comparative international laws on establishing and contesting the marital presumption of paternity. It is evident that these rules derive from the provisions that regulate marriage. What makes them complex and diverse is that in certain legal systems the moments from which the presumption of paternity of the mother's spouse begins and ends are determined differently in relation to the moment of conclusion of marriage and the cause of termination of marriage. The aim of this paper is to point out different possibilities when stipulating the rules on establishing and contesting marital presumption of paternity and how each of these possibilities reflects on the modern concept of parenting and the child's right to know his or her origin. It is from this point of view that the relevant norms of domestic family legislation have been valued.

Birth of prison: Evolution of the idea

A society without norms does not exist, just as norms that are not violated do not exist as well. The reaction of society to violation of basic norms on which it itself is based largely depends on the epoch, that is, on the value core on which the society itself is based. Imprisonment has always existed, but it has changed drastically throughout history - from imprisonment without purpose and meaning, alongside torment and suffering, to modern forms of deprivation of liberty and modern prisons. The ideological revolution has changed the value basis of society, thus changing all the norms that had arisen from such values. The perception and expectations of punishment have changed and, from the 18th and 19th centuries onwards, a new concept of prison as an institution of control, correction, or resocialization has been developing. Prison has ceased to be perceived as hell on earth and became an instrument of society's influence on those who dare to violate social norms. This paper follows this evolution, that is, the development of prisons and the idea of imprisonment from holes and dungeons to modern penitentiaries.

The impact of the adopted secondinstance tax administratiive acts on the budget of the Republic of Serbia

The tax administration, as one of the most important state bodies that participates in the process of collecting public revenues, among other functions it performs, also has the authority to adopt tax administrative acts which determine the amount of tax liability that tax-payers are obliged to pay. taxpayers, on the other hand, are constantly looking for a way to avoid paying the determined taxes or to reduce the tax liability as much as possible. In this process, the activities of both parties have an impact on the budget and the amount of tax revenue collected. The paper discusses the tax administration's rights and obligations, specifically those related to the adoption of tax administrative acts, with an emphasis on the second-instance tax procedure as it directly affects the amount of collected revenues. Furthermore, the paper describes the role of taxpayers in the process of adopting tax administrative acts, focusing primarily on the institute of appeal in this procedure. The available data are also presented supporting the conclusions of this article.

Time perspective as predictor of perceived stress in managers

The aim of this study was to determine relation between dimensions of time perspective and perceived stress among managers, who have one to three years of working experience as managers. The basic assumption was that dimensions of time perspective are empirically confirmed correlates of numerous psychic functions, thus they can also be correlates of perceived stress. Therefore, we set hypothesis that dimensions of time perspective are significant predictors of perceived stress in managers. The study was conducted on the sample of 92 managers of both genders (37% of men and 63% of women). Average age of examinees was 36.58 years. Selective variable for formation of the sample was the length of working experience in management - from minimum one up to maximum three years. The assumption for the sample justification was that managers-beginners experience bigger number of stimuli from the environment as stressors. An adapted version of Zimbardo's time perspective questionnaire (ZTPI, Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999, adaptation of Kostić & Nedeljković, 2013) was used to operationalize the time perspective. The questionnaire with 52 items determines five dimensions of time perspective - negative and positivie past, hedonistic and fatalistic present and future. Perceived stress is determined by score on Cohen's questionnaire for perceived stress (The Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10, Cohen et al, 1983). Significant regression model was obtained, which explains 17,6% variance in perception of stress in managers. As the only independently significant predictor in the group of dimensions of time perspective, future was highlighted (b = 0,416). Managers who are turned towards the future have higher scores of the perceived stress. The results confirmed the initial assumption on predictor power of dimensions of time perspective in predicting intensity of the perceived stress. The results represent contribution to understanding the relationship between dimensions of time perspective and stress perception during the first years of management and may be the starting point for future research of those constructs.

The relationship between the perception of justice in the organization and the intention to leave the organization: Meta-analysis

The aim of this meta-analysis is to examine the connection between distributive and procedural justice and the intention to leave the organization by quantitative synthesis of available empirical papers that meet the defined criteria. 126 papers have been found through the search of the literature, out of which 58 studies met all the defined criteria. After summing up all studies that had data on the correlation between distributive justice and the intention to leave the organization, the total sample size equals 20068, while the total sample size of studies that had data on the correlation between procedural justice and the intention to leave the organization equals 17901. The results show that distributive and procedural justice are significantly, negatively correlated to the intention to leave the organization and that this connection is of moderate intensity. Examination of the file-drawer effect has shown that there was no bias in the selection of studies which will be included in the process of meta-analysis. Since the results have shown that there is a very large heterogeneity between the studies that have entered the process of meta-analysis, the moderating effect of the category of the journal in which the studies have been published was examined as well. The results have shown that the weighted magnitudes of the effects do not differ with respect to the category of the journal in which the studies have been published.

Social deviations and the "black wave" of Yugoslav cinematography: Multiperspectivity of deviance

The main goal of this paper is to investigate various forms of social deviations that can be related to the phenomenon of the black wave of Yugoslav cinematography. The analysis is structured according to our general typology of possible models of connection between artistic and deviant contents (1. artist as a deviant; 2. presentation of deviance as a theme of a work of art; 3. work of art as a deviant phenomenon or action [Matković, 2017]). The author noticed complex and heterogeneus perspective of the relationship between the black wave and the sphere of social deviance, present at several different levels, which provided a basis for concluding on the multiperspectivity of deviance associated with the aforementioned artistic orientation. Among other conclusions, it was pointed out that the most energetic socio-political reaction was caused by the presentation of social deviations with political connotations, as well as deviations related to the dissatisfaction of various categories of Yugoslav society (i.e. those deviations that directly threatened the survival of the official state ideology and ruling regime), while the cinematographic treatment of socio-pathological phenomena in a narrower sense, although also undesirable, was still more tolerated, being subjected to repressions of lower intensity.

The principle of ne bis in idem in the context of European arrest warrant: A view of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice

In this paper, we analyze the most significant ruligs of the Court of Justice of the Europian Union regarding the interpretation of the provisions of the Framework decision on the European arrest warrant which established the principle of ne bis in idem as one of the grounds for both mandatory and optional non-execution of the extradition request issued to the judicial authority of the executing Member State. Although the European arrest warrant is one of the most important mechanisms of cooperation in criminal matters between Member States, the provisions of the Framework decision that established the European arrest warrant as part of the EU law do not define precisely enough some of the key aspects of its implementation, leaving plenty of space for different interpretations and actions of national authorities, which in turn contributes to legal uncertainty and unequal application of the EU law within Member States. In this context, the European Court of Justice made some of the key points in the 2010 Mantello case and 2018 AY case, and primarily focused on issues related to the ''same act'' category as one of the key criteria for applying the ne bis in idem principle in transnational context. The inductive-deductive method and content analysis were used in the analysis of the cases mentioned above.

Criminal procedure principles in defendant hearing

Although there is no uniform definition of procedural principles in criminal procedure theory, they can be defined as legal rules or guidelines on which the criminal proceedings are based. As such, the principles of criminal procedure law apply to procedural entities and procedural actions. Evidentiary actions, as a type of procedural action, clarify the criminal case that is the subject of the criminal proceedings. The Criminal Procedure Code stipulates several evidentiary actions, one of which is the preliminary hearing of the defendant. The defendant hearing, in which the defendant gives their testimony, is given a great deal of attention because it represents one of the most important pieces of evidence, and the course of evidence presentation is the most significant and crucial issue of the criminal proceedings. Therefore, the paper will present a review of the criminal procedure principles related to this evidentiary action, starting from the principle of legality as the main principle, followed by the principles of orality, publicity, immediacy and adversity (party control of facts and means of proof).

Assessing the level of implementation of corporate social responsibility in Serbian banking sector

The integration of the social, economic, and environmental dimension of business into day-to-day business operations is a basic feature of corporate social responsibility. The new millennium saw the concept of social responsibility introduced in the Serbian banking sector. Originally perceived as a risky and intriguing phenomenon, today it is an indispensable part of many Serbian banks' business. For this reason, the aim of the research is to assess the level of implementation of corporate social responsibility in the Serbian banking sector. The sample consisted of a number of active and systemically important banks in the Republic of Serbia. We examined the propensity of Serbian banking entities to behave responsibly towards the community, the environment, their employees, investors, clients, and suppliers. For the purpose of this research, descriptive statistics, analysis and synthesis techniques, and a detailed analysis of scientific publications by Serbian and foreign authors from the relevant field were used. The results supported the premise that the Serbian banking sector exhibits a high level of implementation of socially responsible behavior, with a tendency towards further growth. This business behavior, generally speaking, indirectly affects corporate performance, stakeholder loyalty, and the reputation of the financial institutions.

Evolution and socio-pathological traits of delinquent groups in Serbia

In this paper the author examines the socio-pathological aspects of delinquent groups issues in Serbia. After reviewing the definition and features of delinquent groups, we offer a chronological analysis of various forms of local delinquent groupings from the mid-20th century to the present. Next, the relationship between those groups and various socio-pathological manifestations was examined. In the final section, the author summarizes the features of this phenomenon, and offers his own perspective of its evolution in the future. Moreover, the author discusses the overwhelming influence of information technologies on the transformations and contemporary tendencies of delinquent groups and delinquency in general. This can have a dual impact on socio-pathological phenomena: as a factor in reducing the occurrence of traditional deviant behavior, but also as a factor in the expansion of new socio-pathological phenomena
