Teachers attitudes and disciplinary procedures in work with children with attention deficit

Osnovni je cilj istraživanja bio ispitati razlikuju li se stavovi i disciplinski postupci učitelja u radu s djecom s teškoćama pažnje s obzirom na spol učitelja, završeno obrazovanje učitelja, godine radnog iskustva učitelja te s obzirom na to pripadaju li učitelji skupini razredne ili predmetne nastave. U istraživanju su sudjelovali učitelji tako što su popunjavali upitnik/e za jednog ili više učenika iz svog razreda koje procjenjuju kao učenike koji imaju teškoće s pažnjom i koncentracijom. Procjenjivani učenici bili su od prvog do osmog razreda osnovne škole. Istraživanje je provedeno u tri županije: Osječko-baranjskoj, Vukovarsko-srijemskoj i Brodsko-posavskoj, a sudjelovala je 31 škola. Utvrđeno je da kod disciplinskih postupaka koje koriste učitelji postoji razlika jedino kod pripadnosti učitelja razrednoj ili predmetnoj nastavi. Rezultati su pokazali da učitelji razredne nastave više koriste pozitivne disciplinske postupke u odnosu na učitelje predmetne nastave. Kod stavova učitelja o radu učenika s teškoćama pažnje i koncentracije utvrđeno je da učiteljice imaju pozitivnije stavove u odnosu na učitelje, da učitelji s najviše godina radnog iskustva imaju pozitivnije stavove u odnosu na učitelje s manje radnog iskustva te da učitelji razredne nastave također imaju pozitivnije stavove u odnosu na učitelje predmetne nastave.The main objective of this research was to investigate differences in attitudes and disciplinary procedures among teachers working with children with attention deficit in respect of their gender, level of education, years of work experience and whether they teach in lower or upper grades of primary school. Teachers who filled in questionnaires about pupils from their class who might have an attention deficit carried out the research. The sample consisted of pupils from first to eighth grades of primary schools. Thirty one school from three counties participated in research: Osječko-baranjska, Vukovarsko-srijemska and Brodsko-posavska County. The research shows that there is a difference in the use of disciplinary procedures between teachers in the lower and teachers in the higher grades of primary school. The results implicate that teachers in the lower grades of primary school use more positive disciplinary procedures than teachers in the higher grades of primary school. The results also indicate that female teachers have more positive attitudes towards teaching children with attention deficit than male teachers do. Also, the teachers with more years of teaching experience have more positive attitudes than those who have less teaching experience. In addition, teachers in the lower grades of primary school have more positive attitudes than teachers in the higher grades of primary school

TEACHERS' EDUCATIONAL AND MISBEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN WORKING WITH PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH ATTENTION DEFICITS

Children with attention deficits are usually integrated in regular primary school classes in Croatia, without any special educational treatment nor interventions. Teachers, whose primary education does not include educational methods for working with children with developmental disabilities or procedures of inclusion of such children in regular classes, must do their best to be successful in education and integration of this specific group of children. The main objective of this research was to determine the differences in use of educational strategies (upbringing and teaching) and misbehavior management (positive and negative) among primary school teachers working with children with attention deficits in respect of their gender, level of education, years of work experience and whether they teach in lower or upper grades of primary school. The research covered 31 primary schools from 3 counties of the eastern part of the Republic of Croatia. Participants were teachers (N=103) teaching in lower grades (from 1st to 4th) (51%), and in higher grades (from 5th to 8th) (49%) of primary schools. 12.8% of them were male and 87.2% female teachers. Teachers gave estimations for their students who had attention deficits (N=305), 85.6% (N=261) were male and 14.4% (N=44) were female students. The age span of estimated students was 7 to 15 years, and the average age was 10.69 years (SD=2.26). Teachers filled out the Educational desirable behavior-oriented strategy scale (upbringing and teaching subscales) and the Scale of misbehavior management strategy (positive and negative discipline subscales). The results implicate that teachers in the lower grades of primary school use more positive disciplinary strategy than teachers in the higher grades of primary school. The results of the research have shown that teachers working with children having attention deficits more often use the educational strategy of upbringing than teaching. Teachers from lower grades of primary school and also female teachers more often used the educational strategy of upbringing. As in Croatia formal education for primary school teachers teaching in lower grades of primary school differ from the education for teachers teaching in higher grades of primary school, it can be concluded that teachers in lower grades of primary schools are more sensitive and better educated for working with children with attention deficits

Mogućnosti primene hedžing strategija na inostranim robnim berzama

The aim of the paper is to determine the possibilities of implementing hedging strategies of Serbian agricultural producers on foreign commodity exchanges. Considerable fluctuations in prices of agricultural products in Serbia create the need for the use of futures in commodity exchanges in order to protect against unfavourable change in prices of agricultural products in the future period. Due to the fact that Serbia has not established the trading in commodity derivatives, Serbian producers are having to use developed commodity exchanges abroad. The paper analyses the possibilities of using the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the USA and the MATIF commodity exchange in Paris, looking at two aspects of the activities. First, the correlation of corn prices on domestic and foreign commodity exchanges was investigated, given that it is the basic prerequisite for the application of successful hedging strategies and, secondly, legal requirements, primarily tax policies related to trade of futures contracts. This paper has found that there is a high correlation between the crops price in the foreign commodity markets and spot market in Serbia, which provides a solid basis for the implementation of hedging strategies for underlying assets in foreign commodity markets. However, it has been found that inadequate taxation policy is an aggravating factor for the implementation of hedging strategies.Cilj rada je utvrđivanje mogućnosti za primenu hedžing strategija srpskih poljoprivrednih proizvođača na inostranim robnim berzama. Visoka fluktacija cena poljoprivrednih proizvoda u Srbiji uslovljava potrebu za korišćenjem terminskih robnih berzi, u cilju zaštite od nepovoljnog kretanja cena poljoprivrednih proizvoda u budućem periodu. S obzirom na to da u Srbiji nije uspostavljeno terminsko trgovanje robnim derivatima, srpski proizvođači su upućeni na korišćenje razvijenih robnih berzi u inostranstvu. U radu su analizirane mogućnosti korišćenja Čikaške robne berze u SAD i MATIF robne berze u Parizu. Izvršena je analiza sa dva aspekta: prvi, korelisanost cena kukuruza sa domaće berze i inostranih berzi, s obzirom na to da je ona osnovni preduslov za primenu uspešnih hedžing strategija i drugi, zakonski uslovi, prevashodno poreske politike u vezi sa trgovinom terminskim ugovorima. U radu je utvrđen visok stepen povezanosti cena žitarica na inostranim robnim berzama i spot tržištu u Srbiji, što daje dobru osnovu za primenu hedžing strategija na ovu baznu aktivu na inostranim robnim berzama. Ipak, neadekvatni poreski propisi otežavaju primenu ovih strategija

Značaj i perspektive razvoja kliringa u Srbiji

The paper analyses the importance of the development of clearing in the Republic of Serbia. The primary role of clearing houses is to ensure the performance of derivative contracts. Clearing houses are institutions that are necessary for the functioning of derivative exchange and the part of the OTC derivative market. High uncertainty in business reflected in changes in prices, exchange rates, interest rates, climatic conditions, etc. led to the development of the term contracts trading and the need to develop a clearing system. In Serbia, despite the established legal requirements trading in standardized derivative contracts did not come to life in practice. Based on the findings in this paper, the underlying reason for the absence of a developed derivative market lies in an inadequate clearing system.U radu je analiziran značaj razvoja kliringa u Republici Srbiji. Prevashodna uloga klirinških kuća jeste obezbeđivanje izvršenja terminskih ugovora. Klirinške kuće su institucije koje su neophodne za funkcionisanje berzanskog i dela vanberzanskog terminskog tržišta. Visoka neizvesnost u poslovanju, koja se ogleda u promenama cena, kurseva, kamatnih stopa, klimatskih uslova itd., uslovila je razvoj terminskog trgovanja i potrebu za razvojem sistema kliringa. U Srbiji i pored uspostavljenih zakonskih uslova, trgovanje standardizovanim terminskim ugovorima nije zaživelo u praksi. Prema nalazima u ovome radu, osnovni razlog za nepostojanje razvijenog derivatnog tržišta jeste neadekvatni sistem kliringa

Stock Markets Integration between Western Europe and Central and South-Eastern Europe: Latest Trends

The aim of the paper is to examine the stock market integration between Western Europe and selected countries of Central (Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia) and South-Eastern Europe (Greece, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, and Romania). In order to achieve this goal, we used a bivariate BEKK model to obtain time-varying covariances and correlations for the period April 15, 2013 - March 29, 2019. Our results showed that Austria has the highest degree of integration among countries in Central Europe, followed by the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. Additionally, Greece has the highest degree of integration among all countries in South-Eastern Europe, followed by Romania, and Croatia. Thus, stock markets of Central Europe are more integrated with Western Europe than stock markets of South-Eastern Europe
