This article analyses complexities of time in transitional justice (tj) and categorises the temporal dichotomies of tj processes as timeboundness/timelessness and linearity/circularity, challenging the dominant linear conception of time in the field. Criminal justice, as the most dominant tj pillar, is seen as timebound, battling with the passage of time to avoid justice being denied or delayed. By its procedural nature, criminal justice is less capable of addressing any circularity or repetition of violence but rather treats acts of violence as ruptures in linear time. Field research in Bosnia and Herzegovina shows that the less conventional tj processes of education and memorialisation are often given the normative content of timelessness and utilised for their capacity to capture some of the repetition of harm. In addition to establishing these distinct temporal regimes and noting any conflicts between them, the article seeks to reconcile them by repositioning criminal justice within tj as a factual and legitimating foundation for education and memorialisation.

Introduction/Objective The development of speech is the result of interaction of different systems of the cortex, which gradually acquires the ability of phonological presentation and motor control, in the presence of a series of physical and physiological changes in the morphology of the articulation system. The objective of the study was to examine the impact of laterality and cortical responses on the development of speech in children. Methods Research is a quasi-experimental design with two groups. The sample covered 60 children from Belgrade, of both sexes, ages 5.5-7 years, divided into two groups, experimental (30) and control (30). We used the following instruments: test for assessing laterality and ascertaining evoked potentials. Results On the visual lateralization subtest there was a statistically significant difference (χ² = 7.56, p < 0.05) between the observed groups. The visual evoked potentials on all measured parameters gave a statistically significant difference between the groups: waveform cortical responses-left (χ² = 30.00, df = 1, p < 0.05); cortical responses-right (χ² = 6.667, df = 1 , p < 0.05); waveform amplitude-left (χ² = 13.469, df = 1, p < 0.05); amplitude-right (χ² = 40.00, df = 1, p < 0.05), somatosensory potentials (χ² = 18.261, df = 1, p <0.05); waveform amplitude (χ² = 12.000, df = 1, p < 0.05); waveform latency (χ² = 5.455, df = 1, p < 0.05). Conclusion Visual laterality, as well as visual and somatosensory cortical responses to stimuli is better in children without the present articulation disorder, which could be used for timely prevention planning.

Abstract∞ This article analyses the transformation of guarantees of non-recurrence (GNRs), the least developed pillar of transitional justice (TJ), and sets a legal and conceptual foundation of the norm for TJ theory and practice. It draws out key characteristics of GNRs including the norm’s various contents and contexts, stressing its exceptional future-oriented nature in international law. The article investigates conceptual origins of preventing non-recurrence in the early developments of TJ and the recent normative expansions undertaken by the UN Special Rapporteur. The main contributions of the article are establishing GNRs as normatively distinct in TJ and identifying transfers of local-level advocacy from Latin America to general norm creation. Finally, the article proposes a tension between decontextualizing the norm content to make it universally applicable and recent attempts to normatively expand the norm and improve its context-specificity, and discusses its potential consequences for TJ practice.

The aim of this a quasi-experimental study is to test the changes in the Quality of Life of chronic mental disorders (schizophrenia) treated with psychodrama. Total sample consisted of 60 subjects, aged 21-38. From these, 30 subjects were in the experimental group, while 30 subjects were in the control group. All subjects were previously psychologically tested, as well as basic demographic data has been taken. The instrument we used was Life Quality Scale in Schizophrenia (21 items form). Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained data indicates a statistically significant improvement of social and communicative abilities of participants of experimental groups, better impulse control and activation in the work area. The disadvantage of this research is: the small sample. Future examination is needed, as well as a more advanced data processing methodology.
