Human Resource: Management at the National Theatre in Belgrade
Статья научная
This paper presents the results of four years of research conducted by the author, Branka Bešević Gajić, through direct engagement and analytical work at the National Theatre in Belgrade and professional practice at the National Theatre in Belgrade, addressing the strategic role of human resource management in preserving cultural heritage and advancing institutional innovation. The National Theatre, a repertory institution with a permanent ensemble, serves as a critical case study for understanding the challenges of HR planning within a multidisciplinary and nationally significant environment. This study defines key management theories applicable to HR in cultural institutions and provides a critical analysis of recruitment, motivation, departmentalization, training, onboarding, performance evaluation, and reward systems. Drawing on previous publications and artistic research, the paper argues that “the digital transformation of cultural institutions such as the National Theatre and RTS demands a redefinition of human resource strategies to ensure effective integration of new technologies” (Bešević Gajić, 2024). It emphasizes the necessity of interdisciplinarity in HR management, particularly in institutions that merge traditional forms of expression with contemporary digital tools. Special attention is given to the onboarding and education of staff through psychologically safe environments, participatory leadership, and training modules informed by artistic methodologies and new media. The paper also considers ethical dimensions of innovation, noting that “AI implementation must follow ethical guidelines to maintain integrity and public trust” (Sančanin & Penjišević, 2023). This is particularly relevant for institutions that simultaneously produce content and mediate public discourse. By incorporating insights from doctoral artistic research, the study introduces a human-centered paradigm of HR management grounded in participatory dramaturgy, emotional intelligence, and non-linear temporal models of organizational development. Cultural institutions such as the National Theatre are portrayed not merely as custodians of heritage, but as living systems capable of adaptation, empathy, and innovation. Thus, strategic investment in personnel becomes both an artistic and ethical imperative, supporting institutional resilience and future cultural relevance.

Journalism as a Profession or Social Phenomenon
Статья научная
Journalism, as a profession and a social phenomenon, occupies an important place in the modern world. Although it exists today in many forms, the roots of journalism go back far into the past, and its formation is closely related to the development of the press and communication tools. The history of the profession of journalism begins in ancient civilizations, but the real development is recorded after the invention of Gutenberg's press in the 15th century. That invention enabled the mass printing of newspapers and books, which significantly accelerated the flow of information and enabled the development of public opinion. This paper will discuss following topics: definition of journalism, digital journalistic pyramid, traditional journalistic pyramid, ethical codes, digital era.

Opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence application in investment arbitration
Статья научная
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly advancing, developing, and finding applications in various aspects of life and work. Some of the most significant social areas, such as law and dispute resolution, have not remained immune to the influence of AI. In this sense, both the positive aspects, useful elements, as well as the potential dangers and risks that this technology brings, are being increasingly considered. Arbitration, as a contractual and voluntary method of dispute resolution, presents fertile ground for the application of various technological solutions to accelerate and ease the process. Investment arbitration, which deals with resolving disputes between a host state and a foreign investor, has its specificities that need to be addressed in the context of AI application. Therefore, this paper provides a review of the benefits of AI in arbitration, analyzes its shortcomings and risks, offers an overview of certain smart tools available, and presents a general view on the ethical and legal regulation of AI application in arbitration. The conclusion of the paper is that the possibilites for further development and refinement of AI technology for use in arbitration are numerous, but should be approached cautiously. It will be necessary to devise an optimal, flexible regulation to standardize the rudimentary rules of AI application in order to meet the basic requirement: benefit for humanity and society, while respecting the specific values and principles on which investment arbitration is based.

Science, ethics and new emerging technologies
Статья научная
In this paper, we will examine the relationship between science, ethics, and emerging technologies, with a particular focus on nanoscience and nanotechnology. Our goal is to demonstrate that all sciences, including these most recent ones, originate from philosophy, which has always strived to maintain an integral, holistic approach to reality. In contrast to philosophy, individual sciences gradually lose interest in philosophical views of a higher level of generality and a holistic approach to reality. As a result, sciences often neglect ethics and value judgments that assess the consequences of their activities and outcomes. Nanotechnology, along with other convergent technologies such as biotechnology, information technology, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology, differs from other technologies in its ability to operate at the atomic and molecular levels. This enables its impact on the natural environment and the human organism to often remain beyond public awareness. Such a situation raises legitimate concerns and calls for addressing the issue of responsibility for the development of these technologies. Strict and organized action by the broadest possible public is needed to ensure the responsible development and application of nanotechnology. In this paper, we will consider potential coalitions for overseeing these technologies, as well as some key questions that must be answered before these technologies "slip" beyond our control. In this context, special attention will be given to promoting a multidisciplinary approach and involving various stakeholders from the fields of science, philosophy, ethics, and representatives of civil society in the decision-making processes related to the development and regulation of nanotechnology.

Security of the system for electronic learning
Статья научная
Security is one of great problems in the creation and implementation of e-learning solution. As an end user is not able to see these problems, they are often neglected. As all other applications, e-learning portals are widely distributed and available to a wide audience, which makes them vulnerable in a way. As the concept of Web applications is very spontaneously developed without a detailed plan, and with great effort invested in development of programming languages and interpreters for Web applications, there is a danger from manipulation by malicious users.

This theoretical work deals with hybrid artistic practice and its determination by media and technology. As an inevitable example of thinking about art through the context of media, Vladan Radovanović is highlighted. who is the only theorist who systematically proposed a classification of art in relation to media. Through his theory of polymedia art, as an interdisciplinary form that synthesizes within itself synthesizes various disciplines with the aim of achieving "total art," and the visionary thoughts of Marshall McLuhan on media, we will try to find an answer to the question of the possibilities and significance of media the for the development of art. I will interpret hybrid artworks that have emerged from the integration of different media using the method of textual analysis and interpretation, which allows for their semantic, narrative, and sensory extension in the site, in which we will explain the significance of media possibilities in relation to art.

Teorija organizacije u novom digitalnom okruženju
Статья научная
Savremena teorija organizacije mora da uzme u obzir uticaj novih disruptivnih tehnologija na organizaciono teoretisanje i odnos između organizacionog dizajna, strukture i performansi. U radu polazimo od predpostavke da organizacije nisu uvek konsenzualne jer različiti ciljevi unutar organizacije odražavaju posebne interese i potrebe različitih steikholdera, koji mogu biti u sukobu jedni sa drugima. Blockchain tehnologije omogućavaju da se preko algoritma, dakle automatizovano, utvrdi konsenzus u decentralizovanoj mreži bez pribegavanja spoljnom autoritetu za odlučivanje i sprovođenje. Tehnologija distribuirane knjige (DLT), uz pomoć veštačke inteligencije i pametnih ugovora omogućava uspostavljanje organizacije bez menadžmenta ili zaposlenih, potpuno konstruisanu korišćenjem koda. Kao rezultat toga dobijamo decentralizovanu autonomnu organizaciju (DAO), u kojoj AI algoritmi deluju potpuno autonomno. Ovaj rad razmatra DAO kao mehanizam koji funkcioniše autonomno, automatski usaglašava interese i radikalno menja donošenje odluka unutar organizacija. Nove digitalne tehnologije i evolucija interneta upućuju nas da ispitamo kako vladajuće organizacione teorije mogu biti unapređene i promenjene u skladu sa novim tehnološkim okruženjem. Ovaj rad pokazuje kako dosadašnji pristupi organizacionoj teoriji, posebno menadžerizam kao preovlađujući pristup, nisu uvek funkcionalni i ne kooptiraju sa aktuelnim organizacionim praksama, posebno na Internetu.

Text mining: Clustering using bert and probabilistic topic modeling
Статья научная
In order to find significant patterns and fresh ideas, free-form content is transformed into structured format using a process known as text mining or text data mining. It enables businesses to easily locate important information in texts like emails, social media posts, support requests, chatbots, and other sorts of text. Text mining enables businesses to anticipate possible threats from rivals, react quickly to production or delivery problems, and provide more individualised customer service. Businesses employ text mining for a range of functions, including production, IT, marketing, sales, and customer service. By carefully examining the phrases used in the source texts, topic modelling aims to pinpoint the recurrent themes in a corpus. These concepts are known as “topics”. As a result, textual data may be measured and used in quantitative analysis. In this sector, there are several subject modelling kinds that differ from one another based on a few unique traits and criteria. In our paper we have represented mainly 3 types of topic modelling techniques namely Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP), and Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA) and calculated the coherence score of each method and compared them. And we have infused the concept of BERT with this topic modelling models and proposed a new model called HDP BERT and calculated the coherence Score and clusters the topics. At the end the n-grams features are applied to all 4 models and compared among each other in bases of uni, bi and trigram rate percentage.

The application of artificial intelligence tools in the legal profession
Статья научная
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents the main characteristic of the Fifth Industrial Revolution and finds its application in numerous aspects of social and work life. One of the areas on which the development of AI, and especially chatbots, can have a significant impact is professions that are based on knowledge, such as the legal profession. In this paper, we analyze the possi-bilities of applying AI tools, primarily ChatGPT, in different legal professions, and give a general view of this issue. Moreover, a survey was conducted among 142 legal professionals regarding their opinion on the use of AI tools in their work. The results showed that the majority of the respondents were familiar with the terms “AI” and “ChatGPT”, but rarely used them while per-forming legal tasks. Furthermore, a positive attitude towards the use of AI was observed, but also the caution regarding its neg-ative aspects. Finally, the respondents showed an affirmative attitude towards the continuance of the legal profession, in which the use of “smart tools” could be implemented in a legally and ethically justified way.
