The pursuit of profit in various spheres of modern business forces us to ask ourselves what kind of natural environment future generations will live in. Disturbance of food chains, climate change, rising sea levels, exploitation of natural resources cause multivariate degradation of the natural environment components, which ultimately leads to the need to change public perception in order to protect the natural environment. The sociological aspect of this issue determines the indirect and direct impacts on sociological relations ranging from the individual to multidomain relations in the work and life of hierarchically established systems. Ecological security therefore comes to the pedestal as a necessity and aspiration for finding adaptive methods based on the basic postulates of security, awareness of the need for environmental protection and finding innovative solutions based on information and communication systems. The success of sustainable development concepts and strategies is not possible to achieve without a multidisciplinary approach in which the basic elements are the implementation of social changes that should be in accordance with socio-economic reality...</em></p> Slobodan Simić Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/248 Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 POSEBNO RANJIVE KATEGORIJE ŽRTAVA KRIVIČNIH DELA U SRPSKOM PRAVU https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/249 <p><em>The Author in her article deals with the topic of particularly vulnerable victims of criminal acts. This topic is approached from several angles: from the point of view of theory, defining the concept of particularly vulnerable victims, then, by presenting the international standards achieved in this area, and finally, by analyzing the current regulations in the Republic of Serbia with reference to the proposed amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure given in the Draft, which refer to particularly vulnerable victims. In the end, the Author gives a critical review of the existing legislation with a proposal de lege ferenda in this area, emphasizing the conceptual problem of introducing the concept of victim into the law of the Republic of Serbia, where traditionally the term „injured party“ is used in criminal proceedings.</em></p> Marija Milojević Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/249 Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE FUNCTION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS AND STRATEGIC CHANGE OF THE CONTEMPORARY ORGANIZATION https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/250 <p><em>Entrepreneurship along with leadership can be understood as the process of influencing others in order to achieve organizational goals. Leadership is not only the aim of modern organizations, but it is also the means by which they achieve greater productivity and efficiency.</em> <em>There is a close mutual relationship between entrepreneurship and leadership because leadership appears as an essential component of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs must be able to set organizational goals, lead and motivate their employees,&nbsp; </em><em>inspire them to perform tasks effectively and make difficult decisions, all of which logically require the possession of leadership epithets. </em></p> <p><em>One explanation for why employees accept the influence of a leader is that he/her possesses power. In addition to power, leadership encompasses a range of other instruments related to exerting influence such as motivation, communication, and ability to work in a team, maintaining interpersonal relationships, corporate culture, knowledge generation, emotional intelligence, conflict management etc. Many organizations have found that if they can best ensure that employees as individuals are productive, they must pay attention to the way of managing work groups and teams. Entrepreneurship is also associated with superior company performance. Entrepreneurs are first of all responsible for setting organizational goals...</em></p> Jovan Veselinovič, Dražen Jovanović, Damir Ahmić Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/250 Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 UTICAJ AKTUELNIH ORUŽANIH KONFLIKATA U UKRAJINI I PALESTINI NA GLOBALNA PRIVREDNA I GEOPOLITIČKA KRETANJA https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/252 <p><em>In the contemporary world, globalization has become a key driver of international economic and political changes. It has contributed to the economic development of many countries, but it has also raised a number of challenges and disputed contradictory issues, including the occurrence of occasional global and financial crises and war tensions. The aim of this paper is to investigate the ways in which the current global economic crisis, as a consequence of globalization, and current economic pressures affect geopolitical changes in the modern world, as well as to analyse the economic aspects of the armed conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine, pointing to a very complex relationship among economy, politics and security at the global level. This comprehensive aticle deals with a detailed study of the consequences of global economic crises and economic conflicts, with special reference to the global economic, financial, banking, energy, trade and geopolitical aspects of the War in Ukraine. In its second part, the article analyses the global economic consequences of the War in Palestine, as well as its impact on current geopolitical trends and global trade routes...</em></p> Ana Papić Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/252 Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 SYNERGIZING SPORTS AND ECONOMICS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/253 <p><em>In the pursuit of global sustainable development, an innovative and impactful avenue emerges through the strategic integration of sports and economics. This paper explores the dynamic relationship between these two realms, emphasizing how their symbiotic alliance can propel progress towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A sport, with its unparalleled ability to unite diverse populations, is a powerful catalyst for social change, fostering inclusivity, gender equality, and community development. Concurrently, economics plays a pivotal role in shaping the infrastructure and policies that underpin sustainable development. This paper also underscores the need for collaborative efforts among governments, private sectors, and sporting organizations to </em><em>maximize the impact of this alliance. Policy frameworks that incentivize sustainable practices in sports and align economic strategies with SDGs are essential.</em></p> Goran Zbiljić; Marko Isaković Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/253 Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN THE KASHKADARYA REGION https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/254 <p><em>The sustainable development of the agricultural sector of Uzbekistan is largely related to the effectiveness of innovation activities. As a result of the development of innovations, the production base in agriculture is updated technologically, technically, organizationally and economically. This, in turn, will increase the integration of Uzbekistan into the world market.</em></p> <p><em>It is known that today it is necessary to direct investments to the development of agriculture, ensure the regularity of the activities of agricultural production processes and water management facilities, strengthen the equipment of agricultural producers, improve land areas, such as improving land reclamation, support for farms growing raw cotton </em><em>on low-yield lands, personnel training, and scientific research is supported by the state.</em></p> <p><em>In the 30th goal of the Development Strategy of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2022-2026, special attention is paid to the issue of increasing the income of farmers and peasants by at least 2 times, bringing the annual growth of agriculture to a level of at least 5% through the intensive development of agriculture on scientific basis. As a result of the implementation of comprehensive measures carried out as a part of the strategic development of agriculture in order to diversify production...</em></p> Shokhojaeva Zebo Safoevna, Eshev Alibek Sabirovich Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://gdn.rs/index.php/GDN/article/view/254 Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000
