Popularization of classical music performed by the "Johann Strauss" orchestra
Rieu's career as a commercial artist began in 1993 in the Netherlands. His most significant success so far was in Australia, where since 2007 marketing campaigns and annual tours have made Rieu one of the most memorable artists and performers. Rieu was among the best-selling artists in any musical genre. As a performer, Rieu is a leader in elaborate performances that includes great architectural replicas and props, costumes, dancers, easy comedy and jokes with the audience. The critique of Rieu's practices is mainly derived from the high artistic sector of classical music. This sector represents a special and prescriptive way of appreciation that resists adaptation to the contemporary and pluralistic cultural environment. Combined with open criticism, this suggests that classical high art music attempts to define, or redefine itself, as a reaction against the gradual inclusion of commercial and national elements.
The inclusion of children in preschool institutions and the family
Inclusion in preschool institutions significantly impacts the socialization and development of children with developmental difficulties, allowing them to participate in everyday activities. For its successful and functional implementation, collaboration and partnership among parents, preschool teashers, and specialists, as well as the involvement of individual assistants for better support, are essential. If preschool teachers are insufficiently trained to work with children with developmental difficulties, it hinders the realization of activities. Integration is achieved by establishing developmental groups, which fosters the desire for parents to accept that their child has developmental difficulties. Acceptance influences the quality of parental care and the child's development, while rejection and denial of difficulties prevent the child's progress. Establishing partnerships between preschool institutions, families, and other social factors improves and supports inclusive practices. The partnership must be based on respect and the active involvement of parents, who play a crucial role in the development of their children. All children, including those with difficulties, deserve equal opportunities for progress and socialization.

Every person, and especially a leader in an organization, should have a healthy dose of narcissism in their personality to persist. Leadership is becoming more recognized as a key issue for companies facing change in a complex and evolving environment. This leads to the need to understand the extensive literature on leadership. However, it is notable that the literature is primarily focused on effective leadership, ignoring the dark side of it. However, research in the field of change has shown that such toxic forms of leadership negatively affect the capacity of organizations to adapt to change. If traits associated with narcissism are also associated with ineffective leadership, the real question is why are narcissistic personalities often found in leadership positions? One possibility is that narcissists have skills and traits that are necessary for emerging leaders, but are not necessarily useful for effective leadership. In other words, narcissism might predict leader emergence, but not necessarily their effectiveness. This paper is an attempt to systematize previous theoretical and practical findings in the field of narcissism and leadership, as well as their mutual connection.

Externalizing and Internalizing behavioral problems in Adolescents
Socio-emotional problems and behavioral issues in children and adolescents can pose a risk for the development of more serious disorders later in life. As part of mental health care, it is essential to pay special attention to measuring the overall emotional state and health problems that are becoming increasingly frequent and visible. The prevalence of behavioral problems among youth is a growing concern. These issues are typically categorized into externalizing and internalizing disorders, reflecting the various ways adolescents manifest and cope with internal and external conflicts. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems in adolescents, explore potential sociodemographic differences, and investigate the relationship between these two types of behavioral issues. The research applied the YEPS questionnaire to meeasure externalizing problems and the DASS-21 scale to measure internalizing problems. The study sample consisted of 1086 adolescents, aged 14 to 19 years (M = 16.98, SD = 1.58), with the majority being female (678, or 62.4%). The main findings of the study indicate the presence of both externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems among adolescents, with externalizing issues being more prevalent in males and internalizing problems more common in females. The results indicate moderate symptoms of behavioral problems, while statistically significant intercorrelations were found between externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems.

Autoethnographic Notes on the Experience of Creating Playgrounds from Leftover Materials in the Process of Initial Preschool Teacher Education
Play represents a natural expression of a child's relationship with the world and, as such, forms the basis for the manifestation of all dimensions of children's well-being. However, global trends in scholarisation and the commercialization of play often lead to a reduction in opportunities for open play, particularly for play that is not saturated with materials that have predetermined meanings and purposes. This paper emerged from the research process on the significance of loose parts as play materials among teachers and second-year students in the „Preschool Teacher“ program at the College of Applied Studies for Preschool Teachers and Business Informatics "Sirmium" in Sremska Mitrovica. The aim of the research is to explore, through autoethnographic notes, the experience of researching and creating loose parts playground within the educational process. The findings suggest that the experience of investigating the significance of unstructured play materials and creating loose parts playground in support of open play leads to insights about the implicit pedagogies of teachers and students regarding the child, play, and how it can be supported in the community. Thus, such research has a transformative character concerning approaches in the education of future preschool teachers.

Learning through play in mathematics lessons
Of all human activities, the most pleasurable is the game, whether it is sports, computer, social, educational, or some other games. As the game is one of the most important needs of children, it is also the easiest way to introduce students to educational content. That is why learning through play is one of the most powerful motivational teaching methods, which encourages creativity in students expressed through imagination, logical thinking, emotional expression and motivation for work and learning. Learning through play also affects the all-round development of the student's personality, because it affects the cognitive, emotional, social and physical development of the child, preparing him for his future life in the world of adults.

The importance of seeing aesthetic messages
Knjiga Šaka puna bisera univerzitetskog profesora i pedagoga mr Gordane Ljubičić publikovana je 2021. godine u izdanju izdavačke kuće MGR Ljubičić u Užicu, čime je značajno dat doprinos da ovo delo bude dostupno i širem krugu čitalaca. Nastala je, kako i sama autorka naglašava, kao ideja da svoj dugogodišnji „staž“ ozbiljnog putnika pretoči u reči i da napiše svojevrstan vodič u svrhu podsećanja na minule dane i događaje. Osetila je potrebu da svoje uspomene sa putovanja, koji predstavljaju njene dragulje, podeli sa drugima, a ne da ih ljubomorno čuva u svojoj kutijici sećanja, jer „sećanje je varljivo, a zaborav briše i menja mnogo toga za šta smo bili sigurni da nikada neće nestati“ (Ljubičić, 2021: 5). Primetno je da je autorka istinski uživala u svim svojim putovanjima, i da je tako nadahnuta imala potrebu da svoje misli i doživljaje u vidu „sjajnih dragih kamenčića“ podeli sa svima nama. I nadasve joj je želja da ova knjiga ima i svoj nastavak koji će uslediti nakon nekih budućih putovanja.
The last, posthumously published book of the important middle-generation Serbian philosopher Miroslav Milović (1955-2021), a former professor at the Faculty of Law at the University of Brasilia, brings a selection of his recent essays translated from the Portuguese language, accompanied by an Introduction by Vanja Grujić.
Possibilities and importance of applying learning through research with children in the community - pre-school teacher's perspective
Starting from the perception of a child as a researcher from the very birth, the research nature of his/her learning, the importance of the community for the learning and development of a preschool child, the goal of this research is to consider pre-school teachers' perspective and learning opportunities through research with children in the community. The research used the method of theoretical analysis and the descriptive method and two research techniques: scaling and content analysis of pedagogical documentation. The following research instruments were used: an assessment scale and a protocol for the analysis of pedagogical documentation. Twenty pre-school teachers participated in the research. The content sample consisted of nine stories on topics/projects. The research indicates that learning through research with children in the community is integrated into the educational process, that pre-school teachers recognize and know the value of this approach and that they mostly have the support of the community. The importance is also highlighted of recognizing challenges through reviewing practice and dealing with them in order to work continuously on improving learning through research with children in the community.

It is often argued, especially in polemics, that morality makes no sense if it is not grounded in faith. However, the question is whether religious beliefs and customs shape moral behavior? Is religion necessary for morality? The intersection of morals and religion involves the relationship between religious views and morals. It is common for religions to have value frameworks that aim to guide adherents in determining between right and wrong. The aim of this theoretical research is the presentation, ie the analysis of morals and religion. The need to choose the mentioned subject of research is imposed by its importance, insufficient research and the necessity of re-examination in the modern epoch of the crisis of the value system. Defining the similarities and differences between morals and religion, as well as their interpretation, is fundamental for understanding their relationship. Many scientific studies have failed to break down "morality" and "religion" into theoretically grounded elements. It is believed that the categories of "morality" and "religion" must be separated, in order to get a complete picture of complex interaction as a roadmap for future research into the relationship between morality and religion. Essentially, traditional moral values are based on spiritual values. That is why it is necessary to accept the universality of both the moral and the religious in every person, not only historically but also in the context of modernity and anticipated human future.
The use of Functional Communication Training in reducing problem behaviors in children with autism
The presence of behavioral problems correlates with communication deficits in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and if a person with ASD is taught functional communication, which has the same purpose for them as the manifestation of behavioral problems, there can be a reduction, and for this, the procedure called functional communication training (FCT) is most often used. This paper aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of FCT for each of the behavioral functions, as well as how FCT can be implemented for each function, by reviewing the literature. The papers were searched using the Google Scholar and ProQuest search engines, and the literature review included those papers in which FCT was applied to reduce various behavioral problems. By reviewing the literature, it can be seen that FCT can be implemented with respondents who have different diagnoses, as well as different degrees of functionality in the way they communicate. In addition, FCT can be successfully implemented with participants exhibiting behavioral problems in various functions. Bearing in mind that FCT looks different for each of the mentioned functions, the importance of determining the behavioral function is emphasized, since it is a necessary prerequisite for the successful implementation of FCT. In addition, bearing in mind the effectiveness of the application of FCT in reducing behavioral problems exhibited by children with ASD, it is emphasized that it is necessary to conduct training for special education teachers and parents, as well as all others who work with this population on the application of FCT.

Kant's definition of an intellectual in the Age of Enlightenment
The paper discusses Kant's definition of a scientist as an intellectual in the Age of Enlightenment. The relationship between reason and mind as set forth in the Critique of the Pure Mind is analyzed. The analysis is complemented by considering the difference between public and private uses of the mind. The problem of freedom is also interpreted within this difference. The public use of mind as a scholarly position is linked to three basic requirements for thinking: thinking independently, thinking for another, and thinking consistently. These three requirements are determined as necessary conditions in the formation of intellectual engagement. At the end of the paper, it is concluded that Kant's essay on enlightenment simultaneously places Kant in the position of a scientist and an intellectual.
The elements of conceptism in the Visions of Francisco de Quevedo
The objective of this paper is to explain the definition of conceptismo as a literary and social movement with its most relevant characteristics, illustrated in “The Visions” of Francisco de Quevedo, one of the key baroque authors of the Spanish literature, through analyzing the initial vision – The Last Judgment. This cycle was written between the years 1606 and 1623 in the Spanish monarchy, a country filled with contrasts and enormous social differences. In each of the five Visions, Quevedo criticizes the social situation and the prominent archetypes of the Spanish society. The piece was written implementing sharp language, enriched with metaphor, contrasts, hyperbole and caricatures wrapped in satire: expressed both in discrete and bold manners. These artistic choices give unique literary nuances to the literary text and help the reader easily imagine Quevedoʼs world. A world in which everything is possible, even the equal treatment of the rich and the poor, leastwise after death. Both an absolute conceptualist and a strong satirist, Francisco de Quevedo does not miss a single opportunity to highlight injustices and make fun of what he considers relevant in the social sphere, treating the physical as the most visible, while paying the greatest attention to the moral aspects. Through a comparative study of the corpus chosen for this paper, forming conclusions about the social status in the Kingdom of Spain is expected, as well as a better understanding of its illustration through the artistic and literary choices of the author. Due to the detailed descriptions of the human nature and behaviors, which can be seen as universal archetypes, Quevedo’s “Visions” maintain their relevance to this day, as well as capture the attention of the contemporary reader.
The Influence of Pets on the Moral Development of Students
Considering the increasing moral hypocrisy of the modern era, it was necessary to focus on the examination of various influences on moral development. Lack of empathy is a phenomenon that is often mentioned when talking about various social deviations. Lack of tolerance, peer violence, various forms of aggressive behavior are sufficient reason to examine morality even at primary school age. This was the main motive for a more detailed investigation level of moral development of elementary school students in Banja Luka. The research was conducted on a sample of 220 eighth and ninth grade students. Based on a short questionnaire and a scale of moral development, the level of development of each student was determined, as well as the gender and type of pet they owned. The final school grades was chosen based on the theoretical analyzes of various psychologists, who specify that age as the end of moral development. In the first part, the paper deals with the theoretical reflection and analysis of previous research, while in the methodological part the hypotheses and the obtained results are analyzed in detail. After the statistical processing of the data, it was determined that there is no statistically significant connection in the level of moral development depending on whether the students have a pet or not. A surprising fact is that more boys than girls have a pet. Although the difference is not statistically significant, it leaves space for the researcher to explore possible causes. An interesting fact is that students who have a rabbit as a pet achieve the highest results on the scale of moral development, followed by students with a dog and a parrot, while those who have a cat or no pet at all achieve the lowest results
Drawing of "One bee's path" in the Function of Organising Children's Physical Activity in the Courtyard of the "Pcelica" Kindergarten
If the space where the children stay is adequately equipped (in this case painted), the children will be intrigued by the space itself, which will encourage them to engage in physical activities independently. The space encourages them to play in a safe way, to wait their turn, help each other and establish the rules of the game themselves. The aim of this work is to empirically and experimentally examine the influence of the experimental program, called "Path of a Bee" on the organization of children's physical activity in the yard of the "Bee" kindergarten. The subject of the research is the drawing of the path "Path of a bee" (experimental program) in the function of the organization of children's physical activity in the yard of the "Bee" kindergarten. 118 children from kindergarten "Bee" of preschool institution "Nata Veljković" in Kruševac participated in the research. The action is divided into several steps, namely: determination of the part of the sidewalk for drawing the path, procurement of materials, design of the path and drawing tasks on paper, agreement on the distribution of tasks on the sidewalk, making templates, drawing the path, opening the "Path of a Bee". The instrument used in this research is the observation protocol. Through it, the organization and activities of children before (initial measurement) and after drawing the path (final measurement) in the yard of the kindergarten "Bee" were shown. When determining the initial state - free play with the current contents offered in the yard of the kindergarten, it was found that 25% of the children were independently organized in play and physical activities in the yard. By carrying out the action, i.e. drawing "The path of a bee", the space in the kindergarten yard was enriched (footsteps, flowers, snakes, frogs, spiders, ladders, dots, hummingbirds, lines, snails, etc.), and given to the children to use as they wish. After the action, the results were obtained which state that 98% of the children played and independently organized physical activities in the yard of the kindergarten. This new environment was inviting and stimulating for the children.
An Intellectual in the Embrace of Dystopia: the Plato Papers by Peter Ackroyd
The aim of this paper is to analyze the transformation of the term intellectual, which is established as a kind of paradigm in modern and postmodern times. The focus of the research is first of all on the reduction of the role of the intellectual in modern times, which was echoed in the thoughts of numerous philosophers of modern and postmodern epoch. Then the postmodern dystopian novel Plato's Papers by the English writer Peter Aykroyd, is analyzed. It is a dystopian work in which the aforementioned tendencies were given an artistic articulation. The hero of the novel Plato, as the research shows, represents a travestied image of the ancient philosopher Plato and acts in a modern telematized polis of the distant future. The works and fate of the postmodern Plato are articulated in the novel in a way that hints that escapism is the only possible answer to the challenges of the destructive relativizations of the postmodern era.
Raising of adolescents in the era of reality shows and tabloid journalism - legal regulation
The authors seek to answer why the criminals in media are presented in a way that does not meet the reality, which categories of young people are at the most risk considering the negative impact of this ,,role models“, and how the family and legislation can protect them. Behind the media presentation of the crime world as idyllic are the centers of power, which are in agreement with the owners of the media, with the aim to form insecure personalities, prone to addictions, who looks up to inadequate role models. For the proper development of adolescents, close relationships with parents and peers are necessary. Parents represent a safe haven when peer and other social relations do not go in the desired direction. In contact with peers, adolescent learns new roles, about the world of adults, and finds a new type of egalitarian closeness. A close relationship with parents allows the young person to discuss role models from media, positive and negative heroes, values, dilemmas, events in peer relationships, and plans for the future, as well as to convey life experiences from parent to adolescent. On the other hand, legislation is necessary to protect social groups from media exploitation or exposure to media violence.

In recent years, hardly any other intellectual has presented theses about the identity of Montenegro with such emphasis in public, such as the president of CANU, prof. Dragan Vukcevic. Admittedly, he did this in a scientifically non-systematized form, namely within the framework of a series of interviews and appropriate speeches. His initial thesis is that in all considerations of a given profile, one should start from the "triad" State-Constitution-Citizen, within which all the important contents for the given two fundamental issues could and should be considered.
The individual and happiness in hyper-consumption society
The individual in the postmodern society increasingly takes an active and productive attitude towards the products of mass culture and gradually builds a critical attitude towards the contents of the mass media, which are often unjustifiably attributed with the absolute power of manipulative effect. However, mass culture, with its tendency towards individualization and the "average", significantly limits the possibilities of an individual to experience the promised happiness in the context of a hyper-consumer society. The tragedy of the hyperconsumer's happiness lies in his individuality, because in the process of searching for happiness, the individual becomes more and more lonely and alienated. Complete happiness is necessarily connected to other people, which is why it is also fleeting, so that an individual cannot possess it independently.

Gender and age differences in expression peer violence
The complex problem of peer violence has been the subject of many research studies so far. The prevalence, forms, and manifestation forms of peer violence, causes, and consequences have been intensively studied. This paper describes and examines the occurrence of violence, considering both gender and age differences. The research has been carried out on a representative sample of 204 pupils of both sexes, in the fifth and eighth grades, who attend two primary schools. The results of the research show that a greater tendency, towards violent behaviour between boys and girls, has been confirmed (t=5.83, p<0.01). Statistically significant difference, in the tendency to violent behaviour between the pupils of different ages, that is, fifth and eighth graders, has been identified It shows us that eighth graders have a significantly greater tendency to violent behaviour than fifth graders This research is important because its results can be used, to improve our knowledge about the violent behaviour of pupils, in the school environment, as well as to encourage us to take the best course of practical action and to adopt prevention models in this area.

Dilemma Regarding the Scope of Projects in The Development of Key Educational Competences of Pre- school children
Conscious education, as a deliberate, planned and organized pedagogical process ensures the acquisition of knowledge, skills and habits in the function of developing learning, expanding and enriching human cognition. At the preschool age, education, through the development of general and special preparations, enables the child to perform life's functions, humanize his nature and adopt and cultivate the foundations of the culture of civilization. The base for the transfer of material and spiritual values of the community is made up of sociocultural systems: symbolization and communication, systems of knowledge from science, technique, technology, work and production, artistic forms of expression, value and ethical attitudes. Through models of daily living, forms of play and learning, the child masters the program of preschool upbringing and education, which should eventually develop their competencies (through learning to learn - for the mother language and another language, mathematical, scientific, technological, digital, social knowledge, cultural awareness and initiative). Research with the aim of improving the projects was carried out using a descriptive method, analyzing the content of ten published projects, which identified their characteristics: educational content, types and combinations of implemented activities, used educational methods and specific educational competencies that were supported. The results speak of the use of limited educational contents of only one educational area, weak integration of contents, no changes in the application of the methodical repertoire (compared to the period until 2018) and favoring the development of children's scientific competences.
Heidegger - the formation of modern aesthetics and art as the appearance of culture
The paper analyzes Heidegger's views on aesthetics and art in the epoch of the new century. First, it is shown how Heidegger defines the general concept of aesthetics. Then the role of Descartes' philosophy in establishing the Being and the truth as a certainty in the epoch of the new century is shown. Modern aesthetics and art are formed within such a change of being and truth. Modern aesthetics and art are formed within such a change of being and truth. In modern aesthetics, feeling and beauty are connected and taste, subjective judgment, is placed as a central concept. On the other hand, art is presented as a cultural phenomenon that distances itself from the Christian concept of art.
Information and communication technologies in the real kindergarten program
The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and constant connection with the Internet, enables better performance of activities in preschool institutions, based on new educational interactive programs. The paper examines the way in which ICT as a means of educational work has positive effects on child development in the real kindergarten program. The authors of the paper searched the Internet for free resources, which can be used in the function of raising the quality of educational work. Using some of the found resources, the authors independently designed content for the development of concepts about insects and wild animals, which in their opinion, can be applied in a certain way, to improve and modernize practice in accordance with the principles of preschool education.
