Pojam »društvena mreža« u migraciji

What it means to focus on the notion of “social network” from a migration point of view? By exploring this question, the authors describe the conceptual framework of this concept. Developed in the field of urban anthropology, with a scientific approach of the social combining “relation” and “situation”, the notion of network continued its career in the field of the sociology of the migrations. By introducing elements of complexity into the analysis, this notion made it possible to break with an approach based on the “communautarist” approach of the migrant groups.Što znači baviti se pojmom »društvena mreža«, koji je relativno nov, s migracijskoga gledišta? Kao odgovor na to pitanje autori u radu opisuju koncepcijski okvir tog pojma. Razvivši se na području urbane antropologije, unutar koje se znanstveni pristup društvenome povezuje s pojmovima »odnosa« i »situacije«, pojam mreže nastavio se razvijati unutar sociologije migracija. Uvođenje elemenata kompleksnosti u analizu omogućilo je da se napusti pristup »zajedničarstva« migracijskih skupina

Special Theme: Project Management in E-Science: Challenges and Opportunities

In this introduction to the special theme: Project Management in e-Science: Challenges and Opportunities, we argue that the role of project management and different forms of leadership and facilitation can influence significantly the nature of cooperation and its outcomes and deserves further research attention. The quality of social interactions such as communication, cooperation, and coordination, have emerged as key factors in developing and deploying e-science infrastructures and applications supporting large-scale and distributed collaborative scientific research. If software is seen to embody the relational web within which it evolves, and if the processes of software design, development and deployment are seen as ongoing transformations of this dynamic web of relationships between technology, people and environment, the role of managers becomes crucial: it is their responsibility to balance and facilitate the dynamics of these relationships
