There is neither adequately developed environment consciousness nor adequate representation of suitable orientations regarding this question among prominent parliamentary parties in Serbia. Relatively, when it does exist, the need for profit and economic development if regularly put in the first place, with the exception of SPS, which regularly insists on the politics of sustainable development. In this sense, Serbia is not an exemption regarding the other countries in transition. Unfortunately, regression is noticeable with some parties (DS) regarding this question - in sense that it is not mentioned any more in party documents, although it used to have a significant place in their older orientational documents. Other greater parliamentary parties are oriented to the sustainable development, some of them very comprehensively and universally (DSS, LDP in its Manifesto), some only by principle (G17+) and implicitly (SRS, SNS, PUPS), while some of them, like JS and NS do not mention at all in their programs the question of environment protection, while some treat environment only as the source of profit (SPO). Simultaneously, the parties oriented to the politics of sustainable development have no power to point out the specific problems with which our country has confronted after the NATO aggression and bombardment with at least 9 tons of depleted uranium. Out of parliament Green environmental party - the GREEN from Novi Pazar is the only party pronouncing clearly and socially responsible on this question. The other environmental party - the Green of Serbia has an outstanding globalistic attitude, pleading for sustainable development and non-violence, but with avoiding such concretization. ; U radu se vrši analiza sadržaja osnovnih programskih dokumenata najvećih parlamentarnih partija i jedine dve registrovane partije 'zelenih' u Srbiji sa stanovišta njihovog (ne)opredeljivanja za politiku održivog razvoja. Primenjen je, gde je to bilo moguće, hronološki pristup: kako su se menjali stavovi partija po ovom pitanju u 20-godišnjem periodu od reuspostavljanja višestranačja u Srbiji.

Orientation programs for foreign students vary in duration and coverage from one-day programs on the cam pus of the university attended, with emphasis on local institu tional practices, to six-week programs for students destined for many different universities and with major emphasis on learn ing English. In the summer of 1960 for the first time, two universities—Minnesota and Indiana—were asked to experi ment with two-week orientation sessions for groups of advanced graduate students carefully selected for English language pro ficiency and academic competence. Major emphasis was placed on orientation to the American university system and to practices in the specific fields of study of the participants. The results would seem to indicate that this type of short- term orientation, while fast moving and, thus, wearing on the participants and the instructors alike, produced among the overseas students some notable insights into graduate educa tion in America.

A vital component of a firm's human resource management is its new hire orientation (NHO) program. The authors' review of extant literature suggests that NHO programs can be organized based on a reconceptualization of human capital. Using their typology, a firm can organize the role and scope of its NHO program, assign responsibility for the program's execution, and determine the appropriate level of resources to commit to this process. Results of an application in a large technology organization suggest firm performance suffers when NHO components are not aligned strategically. Implications of the study for managers and academics in career counseling are presented.
