Perception of Climate Change and Assessment of the Importance of Sustainable Behavior for Their Mitigation: The Example of Montenegro

Today, mankind is facing one of the greatest challenges detrimental to its well-being, even its survival—climate change. Given that scientists agree that climate change is caused by humans, efforts are being made to change human behavior in order to avoid any tragic consequences. Research indicates that people are more likely to practice sustainable behavior to act on climate change if they are convinced that it actually exists and that it is predominantly caused by human activity. In this context,...

Assessment of FL Syllabi at Three Montenegrin Universities

One of the aims of the Erasmus+ ReFLAME project is to update the present foreign language (FL) syllabi at the non-philological departments at the three Montenegrin universities – the University of Montenegro (UoM), Mediterranean University (MedUni) and the University of Donja Gorica (UDG). To this end, the first task was to collect and assess all the first and second FL syllabi at the three Montenegrin universities. The analysis included examining the FL syllabi to provide the data regarding, among...

ECONOMIC GROWTH DETERMINANTS IN NEW AND OLD EU COUNTRIES WITH FOCUS ON CONSTRUCTION

Classical, neoclassical, institutional and other schools have debated what is crucial for economic growth. Literature review related to economic growth models is extensive. The objective of our paper is to construct a model of economic growth determinants in EU countries, with focus on construction. Our model includes determinants that reflect the impact of construction on economic growth, which is the contribution to existing literature. It has been created for three groups of countries: EU28,...

Interaktivnost britanskih univerzitetskih predavanja

Univerzitetska predavanja pripadaju kategoriji govornih akademskih žanrova i imaju veoma važnu ulogu u tercijalnom obrazovanju. Predstavljaju unaprijed pripremljene govore i služe studentima kao primarni izvor informacija i sticanja znanja tokom studija. Predavanja su u određenom stepenu i neformalna jer sadrže karakteristike svakodnevne komunikacije, tako da se svaki segment predavanja ne može unaprijed isplanirati. Uzimajući ovo u obzir, u radu se iznosi pretpostavka da predavanja odlikuje određeni...

First cobalt complexes with methyl pyruvate semi/thiosemicarbazone - synthesis, physico-chemical and structural characterization

In the reaction of acetone solutions of CoX2?nH2O (X = Cl, Br) with methyl pyruvate semi/thiosemicarbazone (Hmps, Hmpt) the first Co(II) complexes with these ligands, i.e., [Co(Hmps)(H2O)X2] (X = Cl (1), Br (2)), [Co(Hmpt)2][CoCl4]?2H2? (3) and [Co(Hmpt)2]Br2?Me2CO (4) were obtained. Complexes 1 and 2 represent the first examples of metal complexes of Hmps. All the obtained compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, conductometry, magnetic measurements, and IR spectra, and for complexes...

Proposition of a Model for Selection of the Hybrid Contract Implementation Strategy for a Pilot Project of Regular Road Maintenance in Montenegro

Performance-based maintenance contracts (PBMCs) are modern contracts that should allow road maintenance entities to contract maintenance activities more successfully and generate money value. In the case of Montenegro, a gradual approach of PBMC introduction is recommended through a hybrid contract for routine road maintenance. Hybrid contract implementation will enable a lower level of client risk in the early stages of PBM contract. Game theory is used for selection of an adequate model for hybrid...

Pri tome, posebno se imaju u vidu složene situacije koje mogu nastati u vezi sa stupanjem ugovora na snagu u međunarodnom i u unutrašnjem smislu, sukcesijom međunarodnih ugovora, kao i glede međusobnog odnosa samih međunarodnih ugovora. Također, razmatra se i potreba revidiranja postojećih dvostranih ugovora, s obzirom na rješenja pojedinih konvencija Haške...
