This study examines the representation of migrants on German television during the migrant crisis in autumn 2015. Further it investigates circumstances and actors in the representation of migrants. A case study of two asylum seekers from Syria is presented who were often interviewed for television reports. A qualitative interview about the background of their media representation was conducted and some of the television material was analysed. In addition three journalists from large television stations in Germany were interviewed about their work as correspondent during the migrant crisis. A main finding is that migrants were predominantly represented as well-educated and outspoken. A circumstance for this was language barrier between the journalists and migrants who often needed to talk English, which narrowed the group of potential interviewees. Another finding was that reports and reporters tended to emphasized women and children even though the majority of migrants was male.

<p>Beginning with the theoretical survey of social, economic, ecological and institutional<br />relevancy of rural development, the work explores vital potentials, priorities and<br />challenges of rural development, together with basic reasons for contrivance of the<br />model of rural development in the Republic of Serbia and the countries of the Western<br />Balkans in the conditions of Euro integrations. After the insight into the related<br />literature, the necessity of solving problems of rural development as integrated and<br />compatible with specificity of particular region in contemporary conditions is<br />emphasized, since no generally accepted universal model of sustainable rural<br />development exists, but depends on rural developmental potentials and social and<br />economic surroundings. Although the policy of sustainable rural development of<br />European Union is not perfect per se, it still provides the best and strongest support to<br />social and territorial cohesion of rural regions and is significant primarily as a reference<br />base for the outline of further strategy and policy of rural development of the Republic<br />of Serbia and the countries of the Western Balkans from the viewpoint of their more<br />effective endogenic development and EU integration. The countries of the Western<br />Balkans have suitable preconditions for successful application of the concept of integral<br />rural development; however, there are numerous limitations in the development of these<br />regions in the process of European integrations. These countries are faced with<br />significant structural changes in the economic, organizational and management<br />structure in terms of new EU rural policy. Therefore, all countries conduct reforms<br />aimed at harmonization and strengthening connections with major priorities of EU rural<br />development; hence a suitable model of rural development is still being shaped in<br />practice. The ultimate effect of these changes is related to strengthening of local<br />entrepreneuring and organizational activities and initiatives, the network of local<br />organizations of civic society and local action groups in the function of improvement of<br />competitive abilities of rural economy. Defining clear and realizable strategic aims and<br />priorities, as well as their implementation will be of decisive importance for<br />contrivance of the model of rural development in the Republic of Serbia and other<br />countries of the Western Balkans in the future. Significant unsolved issued were<br />identified together with the courses of regulatory reforms of development of rural<br />regions in these countries.<br />Intersectoral and interregional connection, decentralization and strengthening the role<br />of local factors in the creation and realization of strategies in policy, model and practice<br />of rural development have a strong effect on more efficient activation of localresources, increase of attractiveness for investment in rural regions and more rational</p><p>utilization of finance for the development of rural communities. Demographic<br />revitalization of rural regions, promotion of rural economy and entrepreneurial<br />stimulation of the programs of development of small and medium enterprises, as well as<br />environmental protection and facilitation are of vital significance</p>

Les phlébovirus présentent sont présents dans toutes les régions du globe. Certains phlébovirus transmis par phlébotomes provoquent une maladie fébrile et des infections du système nerveux central. Depuis, de plus en plus de données montrent que la péninsule des Balkans joue un rôle majeur dans l'émergence de maladies à transmission vectorielle. Au début de ce travail, on comptait un nombre très limité de phlébovirus identifiés et isolés dans cette région. Une étude intégrée et transdisciplinaire en vue d'un inventaire des virus circulant dans pays des Balkans. (i) Un total de 3,850 phlébotomes sont été recueillis dans sept pays des Balkans en 2014 et 2015. Ils ont été testés pour la présence d'ARN viral et inoculé sur des cellules VERO afin d'isoler le virus détecté; (ii) des études de séroprévalence utilisant des tests de neutralisation ont été effectuées sur des échantillons de bovins et de moutons pour évaluer à deux agents pathogènes humains : le virus Toscana (TOSV) et le virus Sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV). Nos résultats se composent de (i) la découverte et le séquençage de 3 nouveaux phlébovirus appartenant à 2 espèces différentes, (ii) la première identification du genotype B de TOSV en Croatie, (iii) la preuve de la co-circulation de deux genotypes (B et C) de TOSV, (iv) des taux d'anticorps neutralisants qui sont beaucoup plus élevés chez les bovins et les moutons pour le SFSV que pour TOSV. En conclusion, les résultats obtenus au cours de ce travail démontrent qu’es les Balkans représentent une zone de très importante activité pour les phlebovirus et donc mérite une surveillance particulière à cause du risque d’émergence et de dissémination. / Phleboviruses have a worldwide distribution. In the areas where sand flies are present, some of the sandfly-borne phleboviruses cause febrile illness and central nervous system infections. Sandfly fever was first reported in the Balkan Peninsula at the end of the 19th century. Since there is accumulating data showing that the Balkan peninsula plays a major role in the emergence of vector-borne diseases. At the outset of this work, a very limited number of phleboviruses had been identified and isolated in this region. To fill this gap, an integrated and transdisciplinary study was designed aiming at an inventory of viruses circulating in Balkans and associated seroprevalence studies using domestic animals: (i) a total of 3,850 sandflies were collected in seven Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Republic of Macedonia and Serbia) in 2014 and 2015. They were tested for the presence of viral RNA and inoculated on VERO cell for virus isolation; (ii) seroprevalence studies using neutralisation tests were performed on cattle and sheep samples to assess the level of exposure to two human pathogens, Toscana virus (TOSV) and Sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV). Our results consist of (i) the discovery and sequencing of 3 novel phleboviruses belonging to 2 different species, (ii) the identification for the first time of TOSV lineage B in Croatia, (iii) evidence of co-circulation of two lineages (Lineage B and C) of TOSV, (iv) rates of neutralising antibodies that are much higher in cattle and sheep for SFSV than for TOSV. Together the findings obtained during this work demonstrate that the Balkan area is a hot spot for phleboviruses.

With its departure in the challenge of avoiding conflict-issues becoming politics, the present study merges the literatures on reconciliation and post-conflict politics, and asks why a difference in post-conflict political moderation can be observed in individuals. It uses questionnaire- and interview-material gathered in Mostar during spring 2013 to do a comparative case study, testing the hypothesis that reconciliation makes individuals more politically moderate with respect to war-related issues. Results in line with the hypothesis are found, and the relationship appears to be causal. However, the causal mechanism requires additional work, and the issue of confounders needs to be addressed by future studies to ensure robustness. In conclusion, with these caveats in mind, the answer to the question is that the level of reconciliation affects the levels of political moderation.

Die morawische Nacht (2008) de Peter Handke représente un tournant: l’auteur y renonce à son engagement politique concernant les Balkans et il revient au « royaume de la poésie ». En reprenant des concepts de la théorie de l’espace dans les études culturelles, cette étude examine les moyens narratifs à partir desquels Handke projette une nouvelle image des Balkans. L’écrivain autrichien déconstruit son propre mythe du « Neuvième Pays » (Die Wiederholung, 1986), dont il a sans cesse défendu le concept dans les années 1990 (Eine winterliche Reise, 1996; Zurüstungen für die Unsterblichkeit, 1997; Die Fahrt im Einbaum, 1999; Unter Tränen fragend, 1999). Dans Die morawische Nacht, de fréquentes allusions et connotations nous ramènent aux œuvres antérieures, mentionnées ci-dessus. La signification et la fonction des nouvelles images des Balkans ne sont pas comprises que dans le cadre des références intertextuelles. Par l’entremise d’un maniement raffiné et ludique de l’ancien contenu et des vieilles structures, objets d’un nouvel usage, la poétique de Handke, toujours basée sur les soi-disant « Zwischenräume » (espaces intermédiaires) prouve toute sa puissance. Même si les Balkans perdent leur caractère absolu, ils continuent cependant à servir comme moyen de critique de la société moderne qui aspire cette fois à la mondialisation. Pendant que Handke réfute ironiquement sa naïveté de rechercher l’absolu dans le monde extérieur, le récit se révèle être le seul royaume où la paix et l’harmonie peuvent être créées. / Die morawische Nacht (2008) by Peter Handke marks a turning point in his oeuvre: the writer gives up his political commitment regarding the Balkans with the intent of returning to the poetical realm. Taking up concepts of cultural theory of space, this study examines the narrative means Handke uses to project a new image of the Balkans. The Austrian author destroys his own myth of the Ninth Country (Die Wiederholung, 1986), a concept he had been defending throughout the 1990s. (Eine winterliche Reise, 1996; Zurüstungen für die Unsterblichkeit, 1997; Die Fahrt im Einbaum, 1999; Unter Tränen fragend, 1999). Frequent allusions and connotations in Die morawische Nacht refer to his previous works, mentioned-above. The meaning and the purpose of the new Balkan-image can only be understood within these intertextual references. The old structural and textual elements, used in a refined and playful way, take on new functions, and Handke’s poetics, still based on the so-called “Zwischenräume” (in-between spaces), reveals all its power. Even though the Balkans are losing their absolute character, they continue to serve as a means of criticizing the modern globalized society. While Handke is leaving behind his desire to seek absolute value in the outside world, the “Realm of Narration” proves to be the only possible world where peace and harmony can be created. / Peter Handkes Die morawische Nacht (2008) stellt eine Wende innerhalb seines Werkes dar: Der Autor gibt sein politisches Engagement hinsichtlich der Balkan-Fragen auf und kehrt ins „Reich der Poesie“ zurück. Konzepte der kulturwissenschaftlichen Raumtheorie aufgreifend, untersucht diese Studie erzählerische Mittel, mit denen Handke ein neues Bild vom Balkan entwirft. Der österreichische Schriftsteller zerschlägt seinen eigenen Mythos vom Neunten Land (Die Wiederholung, 1986), dessen Konzept er in den 90er Jahren beharrlich verteidigt hat (Eine winterliche Reise, 1996; Zurüstungen für die Unsterblichkeit, 1997; Die Fahrt im Einbaum, 1999; Unter Tränen fragend, 1999). Häufige Anspielungen und Konnotationen in der Morawischen Nacht führen auf die vorangehenden, oben genannten Werke zurück. Sinn und Funktion der neuen Balkan-Bilder sind erst innerhalb dieser intertextuellen Bezüge zu verstehen. Durch einen raffinierten und spielerischen Umgang mit den alten strukturellen und inhaltlichen Elementen, die eine neue Verwendung finden, offenbart sich all die Kraft der Poetik Handkes, die nach wie vor auf den sogenannten „Zwischenräumen“ basiert. Verliert der Balkan-Raum auch seinen absoluten Charakter, so dient er doch weiter als Mittel zur Kritik an der modernen, diesmal die Globalisierung anstrebenden Gesellschaft. Indem sich Handke ironisch gegen seine Naivität, das Absolute in der Außenwelt zu suchen, wendet, erweist sich der Raum der Erzählung als einziges Reich, in dem Frieden und Harmonie zu stiften sind.

<p>Konflikter i forna Jugoslavien har varit föremål för stor uppmärksamhet under det sista årtiondet. Kriget har väckt förvirring och hat. Inbördeskriget i Bosnien kan nog sägas vara ett av de mest brutala som någonsin ägt rum. Civilbefolkningen har i högsta grad drabbats i form av folkmord och etnisk rensning. För varje dag som går blir döden, misshandel, våldtäkt, tortyr och koncentrationsläger alltmer väldokumenterade i Bosnien.</p><p>Som förklaring till kriget talas ibland om sekelgammalt hat som efter socialismens fall har brutit fram med full kraft, eller om aldrig helt läkta sår efter andra världskriget. Men bevisen pekar mot planerade folkmord på bosniska muslimer och kroater. Ingen skulle vara så naiv att tro att förbrytelser som de i Jugoslavien aldrig kommer att ske igen.</p><p>Många söker förklaringar till grymheterna under krigen i forna Jugoslavien. Verkligheten är inte så enkel och därför är det viktigt att inte dela in den i rätt och fel, utan att förstå sammanhanget. Klar bild bakom krigets mörka murar och förvirring är den frågan som ska undersökas närmare i denna uppsats. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge en historisk förklaring till kriget och att se om orsaken till kriget var religiös. Man kan inte utesluta ett samband mellan grymheterna under krigen och hur människor mått.</p>
