Penaeus vannamei is an important aquaculture product heavily exported to countries such as Europe and China due to its high consumer demand. However, commercialisation of the product involves various levels of cold chain and time to reach consumers which can lead to rapid deterioration. The study aims to evaluate the texture and colour of P. vannamei after being coated with 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% betel leaf extract for 16 daysof chilled storage. P. vannamei was found to have slightly random insignificant changes in texture. However, the colour changes were slowly decreased especially in P. vannamei coated with 2.0% betel leaves extract and supported by sensory evaluation for consumer acceptance. P. vannamei coated with 2.0% betel leaves extract resulted in a significantly lower (p < 0.05) hardness (20646.11 ± 480.10 N) compared to others on the initial day and showed a slightly decreasing trend during storage but not significantly (p > 0.05). After 12 days of chilled storage, P. vannamei coated with 2.0% betel leaf extract showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in springiness from 0.53 ± 0.15% at the initial day to 0.63 ± 0.06% at the end of storage day, indicating a firmer texture. P. vannamei coated with 2.0% betel leaves extract had the highest cohesiveness (0.35 ± 0.05%) and resilience (0.58 ± 0.06) value on the initial day but not significantly different (p > 0.05). However, over time, cohesiveness and resilience values showed a decreasing trend, indicating that the shrimp became less cohesive and resilient with prolonged storage. The colour of the P. vannamei coated with 2.0% betel leaf extract recorded a lightness L* value of 29.23 ± 0.14; redness a* value of 0.37 ± 0.25; and blueness b* value of 5.12 ± 0.37 and significantly different (p < 0.05) compared to P. vannamei coated with 0.5%, and 1.0% betel leaves extract and 1.25% SMS throughout 16 days of chilled storage. The organoleptic test showed that P. vannamei coated with 2.0% betel leaf extract was highly accepted by consumers. Therefore, coating P. vannamei with a 2.0% concentration of betel leaf extract promises a significantly improved quality of P. vannamei at prolonged storage.

Published: May 2024

Carbon dioxide (CO2), emissions, greenhouse gases, and emission units are pivotal concepts shaping the energyclimate policies of many countries, collectively linked by the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS). Understanding this system, i.e. the taxation of CO2 emitters, becomes extremely important from the perspective of the profitability of existing fossil fuel thermal power plants. Montenegro, as the first non-EU country in the region, has implemented an emissions trading system similar to the EU ETS. If other countries do not adopt a specific form of taxing emissions from industries, they will face a cross-border CO2 tax that the EU plans to introduce from 2026. This study focuses on analyzing the challenges arising from carbon dioxide emissions from the only thermal power plant in Montenegro, particularly considering the obligations during the accession to the European Union (EU). There is a substantial need for emission reductions in line with strict EU standards while simultaneously maintaining the sustainability of the energy sector. The paper addresses challenges related to the payment of carbon dioxide emissions, exploring necessary economic mechanisms for calculation and management. The legal regulations governing this area were also analyzed. In fulfilling the obligation arising from the Law on Protection from Adverse Effects of Climate Change, an Emission Monitoring Plan for greenhouse gases was developed for the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant. By preparing this document, the requirement for obtaining the Greenhouse Gas Emission Permit for the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant for a period of 10 years was fulfilled. The permit defines the reporting frequency, including the submission of a Verified Greenhouse Gas Emission Report to the Environmental Protection and Nature Agency by March 1st of the current year for the previous year.

Published: May 2024

Joint stock company Elektromreza Srbije, Belgrade (in the following text: EMS JSC), carries out the functions of transmission system operator of electrical energy in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Due to the vast significance of the power system operations and large territorial coverage, it represents a significant risk factor for fire outbreaks and spread. High voltage and electric current presence alone represent a potential risk of fire outbreaks and spread. The ongoing specific risks at power facilities are wrong handling, fire-infested pieces of metal that can fall on lawns during handling, equipment malfunction, welding, cutting, and soldering works, as well as fires outside plant facilities that have hazardous potential to spread within the plant. In order to minimize the possibility and consistency of fire outbreaks and spread, EMS JSC is conducting a series of preventive fire protection measures. In addition to incorporating special systems and fire protection measures, great attention is placed on equipment maintenance, employee training, and education, as well as conducting fire drills with professional fire and rescue units. Also, records and research analysis of individual fire outbreaks can provide effective assistance in the implementation of preventive fire protection measures in power transmission facilities. Obtained data can be of utmost importance during project planning and construction design of the new facilities, as well as during the exploitation and maintenance of the existing facilities. The following paper will present an analysis of fires that are specific to electric power transmission facilities, and that have occurred in EMS JSC. Furthermore, the fire incident outbreak investigation procedure which entails the reaction analysis procedures, risk and consequence assessment, as well as proposals for implementing measures aiming to improve the present fire protection situation will be outlined. Taking all the above into consideration, it can be concluded that the implementation of preventative fire protection measures in power facilities is of crucial importance, as it is from the employee safety aspect, it is equally important from the aspect of maintaining safe and reliable electric energy transmission.

As a strategic issue, a general rule and a common concern of the employer and the employee, the management of safety and health at work in EPCG AD Nikšić and CEDIS, through the implementation of an integrated management system (IMS), of which the ISO 45001:2018 standard is an integral part, was adopted as a principle based on to risk management, in a way to ensure the effectiveness of safety and health at workplaces, prevention of work-related injuries and health impairments. Works in HV plants belong to the category of jobs with special working conditions and increased risk. Therefore, they prescribe strictly controlled conditions of movement, residence and work, so special attention is paid to the training of employees who service these facilities for safe work. Training and proficiency testing is carried out theoretically and practically, at the employee's place of work, in accordance with the assessment of the level of risk, dangers and hazards for the workplace to which the employee is assigned. Training for safe work is carried out in three phases, through a general, specialist and special program. For the purposes of practical training, employees are assigned a practical training instructor, a person who has professional qualifications, competences and experience in certain jobs. After successfully conducted theoretical and practical training, and with the aim of independent performance of work, the authorized Commission for the performance of professional work in the field of safety and health at work performs a qualification check for safe work at the employee's place of work, after which it issues a Certificate of qualification for safe work. Since the main cause of injuries at work is ignorance of the basic rules and principles of work protection in the technological process, adequately implemented training for safe work is of the greatest importance for reducing the level of risk to the lowest possible extent.

ESPORTS: PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Kanellopoulos Athanasios , Giossos Yiannis
Published: May 2024

Esports are increasingly popular and are becoming more similar to conventional sports. This is due to the social interaction and community-building aspects, as well as the sporting elements embedded in the virtual environments of the video games they include. Esports are a topic of interest for the interdisciplinary field of Philosophy of Sport, which examines the various dimensions of sport in relation to human values. The aim of this paper is to illuminate the existing philosophical debate on the relationship between esports and the Philosophy of Sport. The paper is a philosophical work that aims to highlight the arguments of sports philosophers on esports over the last twenty years. The argument of this paper is that the focus of philosophical interest is not located in matters of ethics but also not in the human being itself. The majority of philosophical papers on esports focus on whether they can be considered real sports or Olympic sports. Other topics include their definition or institutionalisation, physicality, skill requirements, cheating, and corruption. Rules and the identity of esports players are also of concern to philosophers in the field of Philosophy of Sport. This research is significant due to its relevance and timeliness in the field of esports, as well as its contribution to philosophical discussions surrounding the topic. By advancing both philosophical and empirical research and providing ample material for reflection and debate, the paper is a valuable resource for researchers interested in studying and reflecting on esports.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chemical quality of silage mixture of sorghum bicolor (Andropogon bicolor L. roxb) and gamal leaves with different ratios. A completely randomised design (4×4) was applied with four different ratios tried, namely, P0: sorghum bicolor silage without gamal leaves; P1: mixed silage 80% sorghum bicolor + 20% gamal leaves, P2: mixed silage 70% sorghum bicolor + 30% gamal leaves and P3: mixed silage 60% sorghum bicolor + 40% gamal leaves. The variables studied included crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF), nitrogen free extract (NFE) and gross energy (GE) content. The study showed the silage characteristics of P0, P1, P2 and P3 for CP (%) 11.38; 13.71; 14.83 and 15.10; CF (%) 22.53; 21.47; 20.54 and 20.43; NFE (%) 43.56; 42.37; 42.26 and 42.22; GE (kcal/kg DM) 3491.18; 3540.60; 3580.37 and 3588.86, respectively. The results of variance analysis showed that the treatment had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on CP and CF content but not significant (P>0.05) on NFE and GE. It was concluded that silage mixture of sorghum bicolor and gamal leaves up to 60:40 increased CP content and decreased CF and gave the same NFE and GE content compared to sorghum bicolor silage without gamal leaves.

This research aims to evaluate and analyze the provision of additional feed in the form of selenium (Se) on the performance of egg production produced by layers. This research took the main object in the form of 60 weeks old laying hens with the Isa Brown strain. The research was carried out using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with Duncan’s advanced test. The results of this study explain that providing additional feed in the form of selenium (Se) in several doses has a very real influence on egg production performance (egg weight, feed intake, mortality, daily egg production, and FCR). The best dose of selenium was shown in treatment three (commercial feed + organic selenium dose of 150 grams/ton of inorganic selenium feed + vitamin E dose of 1000 grams/ton of feed). The presence of selenium and vitamin E given as additional feed for laying hens can increase egg weight, egg production, minimize mortality rates, and increase appetite.

This study examined the 21st-century teaching skills of English language teachers (ELTs, n=117) and the observations of school heads (n=26) in the Surigao del Norte division (Philippines) for the 2023-2024 school year. Teachers' profiles and their self-perceptions in critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity, digital literacy, and global awareness were assessed through surveys. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were employed to analyze the data and compare perceptions between ELTs and school heads. While the findings revealed a generally strong foundation in 21st-century skills among ELTs, a specific need for targeted support in digital literacy was identified. Additionally, discrepancies were found between teachers' self-reported skills and how school heads observed them being applied in the classroom. These findings highlight the importance of triangulation in evaluating teaching effectiveness. The study proposes recommendations that focus on professional development, resource allocation, collaborative learning communities, and feedback mechanisms to create an environment that empowers ELTs to effectively integrate 21st-century skills into their classrooms, ultimately preparing students for success in today's world.

Critical Issues Regarding the Employment of Blockchain in Thenfinancial Credit Reporting Industry
Authors:   Morgan State University, L. Buresh, Ph.D., Esq. Donald
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to discuss the critical issues regarding the employment of blockchain by the credit reporting industry. Blockchain is a distributed database of bundled digital records that contains transactions that are typically available for public inspection. Blockchain has been marketed as a secure and safe means of storing data because of its distributed nature and because the data in a blockchain are immutable, meaning that it cannot be changed. Block chain also possesses the characteristic that no one individual can change or alter data once it has been recorded in a blockchain. The inability to change or delete data when it has been recorded is the core of the problem facing the credit reporting industry. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and other State privacy laws, the General Data Protection Regulation, and other privacy laws in foreign countries are at loggerheads with blockchain because they demand that consumers have the right to correct or delete their data. These laws will likely not change because of the very human desire for certain things to remain private. Although no technical solution is provided, the point of the paper is to demonstrate the need for blockchain to change technologically.
