Impact of artificial intelligence on jobs from 2024 to 2030
Authors: Radić Vlado , Radić Nikola , Marković-Blagojević Marija
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence is one of the few areas of science about which almost everyone - both experts and non-experts - has some kind of opinion. Some believe that it brings great benefits, others believe that it threatens dangers, and still others believe in both. On the other hand, it is unusual that there is no general agreement on what artificial intelligence is and what it does. Intelligence usually means the ability to acquire, remember and process certain knowledge. Although there is also an understanding that the central goal of artificial intelligence is to imitate human intelligence, most subfields of artificial intelligence have a different goal. It is usually solving problems where a combinatorial explosion occurs, where the number of possibilities is so large that it cannot be systematically examined in a reasonable amount of time. Most of the tasks of artificial intelligence can be described in terms of algorithms, search, deductive and inductive reasoning, and other precise mathematical concepts. Only a small fraction of researchers deal with methods that aim to achieve general human-style reasoning. Artificial intelligence consists of several subfields, apparently loosely connected in their content. The question then is what they have in common, except that they mostly all deal with problems in which a multitude of possibilities arise that cannot be examined by a systematic search. There are multiple approaches that unify all subfields of artificial intelligence into a single, unified framework. One such approach is based on agents having some actions at their disposal. Another approach gives centrality to the problem-solving process. The solution phases are usually: modeling, i.e. describing the given problem in strict, mathematical terms; solving a problem described in mathematical terms; interpretation and analysis of solutions.
Loan contract (Roman mutuum): Legal rules pre and after the Serbian Civil Code from 1844. and the Criminal Code from 1929
Authors: Jovanović Aleksandra , Atanasovska-Cvetković Aneta
Published: December 2024

If we understand that every business requires money that would be further invested in the necessary equipment in order to develop it, the question arises: what should be done in case the entrepreneur lacks certain means to achieve the intended goal? One of the possible solutions is a loan, regardless of whether it is in the form of a bank loan or a loan from a "friend". The impression that loans have been present in civilized society since ancient times is justified - business transactions and the development of trade have existed "as long as the world and centuries", and thus a loan as a legal action undertaken with the aim of maintaining transactions or raising the activity to another stronger and more intensive one level, which brings with it the question of responsibility for non-fulfillment of the contract. The authors in this article deal with the loan, more specifically the loan contract, as one of the drivers of today's business through the prism of legal rules from ancient times to the present day, as well as the issue of responsibility for it, defending the acquired position that the loan agreement is one of the basic contracts when it comes to about the economy, business and entrepreneurial spirit.

Authors: Sun Haijun
Published: December 2024

Backgrounds: This research was conducted to investigate the influencing factors for the prognosis among patients with sepsis/septic shock and the assessment values of the dose of noradrenaline for patient prognosis.
Methods :126 patients with sepsis/septic shock were retrospectively selected and enrolled into survival group (stable disease/discharge, n=91 cases) and death group (voluntary discharge and death, n=35 cases). After that, logistic regression analysis was implemented for the analysis of influencing factors for the prognosis and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was utilized to assess the prognostic values of noradrenaline. Logistic regression analysis was performed for the analysis of procalcitonin (PCT) expression, the scores for high acute physiology and chronic health evaluatin II (APACHE II) and high sepsis related organ failure assessment (SOFA), and large dose of noradrenaline 37 h to 48 h after treatment.
Results: They were the independent risk factors for death among patients with sepsis/septic shock (P<0.05). Median survival time (MST) was shorter among patients in high-dose group (9.56d) than among patients in low-dose group (20.67d) (P<0.05).
Conclusion: High PCT expression, the scores for high APACHE II and high SOFA, and large dose of noradrenaline 37 h to 48 h after treatment affected the prognosis among patients with sepsis/septic shock. In addition, the dose of noradrenaline could reflect the prognosis.
Analysis of the offer and segmentation of tourists: Users of wellness and spa hotels in Serbia
Authors: Vesić Marina
Published: December 2024

Modern hotels are built and based on their business in such a way that they meet the modern trends on the domestic and international tourist market. The primacy is taken by the so-called "green hotels", hotels in an unpolluted, natural environment and hotels that take care of the health of the body and spirit of their guests - wellness and spa hotels. Wellness tourism is practiced by healthy people who travel to preserve and improve their health, and the concept itself implies a healthier diet, exercise, building healthy eating habits, with the main goal of achieving a balance of body, mind and spirit. Analyzing online hotel guest reviews has become the dominant method for evaluating hotel performance and evaluating guest experience based on services and tangible products provided. For the purposes of this paper, an analysis of data from one of the leading online accommodation reservation platforms, Booking.com, was performed. Currently (data from March 2024), there are 1,206 accommodation facilities in Serbia that offer spa centers located in its most attractive tourist regions. There are 483 wellness and spa hotels, categorized with 5, 4 and 3 stars, and the average rating of service users for the top 10 hotels ranges from 9.1 (excellent) to 9.5 (exceptional). The main goal in this paper is to segment and define profiles of tourists based on their ratings (reviews) of the offer and services provided in wellness and spa hotels in Serbia. Segmentation can help hotels identify the preferences and needs of tourists, as well as design and implement different strategies for those target segments, in order to increase customer satisfaction, build loyalty and ensure profitability. As a very good source of data, guest reviews brought new insights into the business process and indirectly influenced the improvement of marketing activities.

Authors: Petrašević Aleksandra
Published: December 2024

The area of the Republic of Srpska is rich with healing mineral, thermal and thermomineral waters. Various archaeological researches witness to the existence of healing properties of thermal mineral waters, even in the time of the ancient Romans. Today, the areas with the mineral springs have been converted into spa centers with health, recreational, accommodation and catering facilities. In the close proximity of Banjaluka, on the banks of the Vrbas River, there is the spa and recreation center of Gornji Šeher, today known as Srpske Toplice, an area with eight thermo-mineral springs with a temperature of 34°C, which was declared a national monument with an interesting history. The objective of the paper is to show the development of the Srpske Toplice spa through history and the creation of modern tourist products of health tourism, which meet the needs of modern man, both for recreation and health preservation, and for treatment and recovery.
Gastronomic experience as a motivational factor in tourist movements on the example of Serbia
Authors: Vukoičić Danijela , Ristić Dušan , Ivanović Marko , Nikolić Milena
Published: December 2024

One of the aspects that is increasingly considered when choosing a tourist destination is the importance of local gastronomy. Gastronomy has become an important tourist resource and a part of the cultural heritage. Gastronomy and tourism have an inextricable link (as part of local culture, as a tourist attraction, as a tourist product and as a tourist experience). It is an important factor in choosing a tourist destination and is in third place among the reasons why tourists decide to visit the destination, after natural and cultural values. This meant the development of a new tourist form, the so-called "gastronomic tourism". Research on gastronomic tourism is scarce. The World Tourism Organization (WTO) considers that gastronomic tourism is insufficiently promoted. In this regard, this paper will study the relationships between motivation, gastronomic experiences, satisfaction with the destination, and loyalty, using the example of Serbia as a tourist destination. In order to achieve this, a survey was conducted among tourists throughout Serbia (at tourist centers in all regions of Serbia). This allowed us to understand the motivations that arise from specific behaviors and attitudes towards this tourist destination. The results show us that there is a positive impact of culinary experiences on gastronomic satisfaction and loyalty to the destination, as well as the impact of gastronomic motivation on perceived value and culinary experiences. It can be concluded that gastronomic experiences are the backbone of the motivation and subsequent satisfaction and loyalty of travelers in a tourist destination. Serbia's tourist destinations are among the 100 most desirable tourist destinations in Europe. This is why tourism is one of the strategic drivers of economic development in Serbia.

Authors: Marić Katarina , Dostović Emilija , Pavlović Sanja
Published: December 2024

Intangible cultural heritage, recognized through oral tradition, language, performing arts, social practice, rituals, holidays, application of knowledge about nature and the universe, traditional art and gastronomy, as part of the tourist offer, is important in preserving the identity and forming the recognition of a country. A network for preserving the intangible cultural heritage of Serbia was formed in 2012. The Register contains 63 elements that reflect the cultural identity of the nations living on its territory. The paper presents the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents and the importance of intangible cultural heritage for choosing a destination. The goal of the work is to investigate how this form of creativity affects the image, recognition and identity of the destination, to what extent the tourist offer of this part of the cultural heritage focuses on the experience of tourists and what forms of folk culture make up the tourist offer. The paper conducted a survey to determine whether tourists are interested in an offer based on the intangible cultural heritage of Serbia and to what extent certain elements influence the visit and/or stay in the destination. The program Excel was used for data processing and analysis, and the obtained results can serve as a basis for understanding the motivation when choosing destinations that have elements of intangible cultural heritage.
Monitoring the condition and endangerment of cultural heritage in Slovenia for efficient management and adaptive reuse
Authors: Lampič Barbara , Rebernik Lea , Čebron-Lipovec Neža , Novak-Klemenčič Renata
Published: December 2024

The protection of cultural heritage in Slovenia is organised by the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia (IPCHS), and the Register of Protection Regimes is compiled by the Register of Immovable Cultural Heritage, which includes over 32,000 cultural heritage units. Entry in the register recognises the value of the listed building or site as cultural heritage and its classification as a cultural monument of local or national importance determines the way in which it is protected. A spatial analysis and review of the official national heritage register shows that the inscription of heritage buildings and sites often depends on the commitment of regional conservators, while the declaration of a cultural monument of local or national importance depends on political will, awareness and public engagement. Many areas with immovable cultural heritage also pose a major challenge for spatial planning. The balancing of needs and interests in spatial planning at all levels, but especially at the local level, often leads to conflicts and quick, unprofessional decisions. A particular problem is the systematic identification and monitoring of heritage at risk, which should ensure proactive role on more endangered but culturally valuable objects. As endangerment screening is not systematic at the national level and has only been carried out on a very limited scale, we developed a simple participatory mapping application in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture. As part of the study, we tested the application with geography students and students of ethnology and cultural anthropology at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, who visited and inventoried more than 1000 cultural heritage units. Through participatory mapping and cooperation between different disciplines, it is possible to record a larger number of cultural heritage units and identify critical areas/objects in poor condition more quickly and in a timely manner. We estimate that 10% of ICH in Slovenia is seriously at risk, which demands quick response with targeted protection, conservation and renovation.

The Red Sea crisis: Geopolitical background and impact on the global economy
Authors: Župac Srđan
Published: December 2024

The Red Sea crisis began in late October 2023 when the Islamist Houthi movement launched missiles and armed drones at Israel demanding an end to the war in the Gaza Strip. Since these attacks proved unsuccessful, the movement turned to closer targets - international ships passing through the Bab el Mandeb strait and the aforementioned blockade. In the beginning, the targets were ships that had any connection with Israel, but later, however, the list expanded. Soon after, the US and its allies sent warships to provide defense for cargo ships plying this route. The Houthi movement is an Islamist political and military organization composed of predominantly Shia Muslims. It was founded in the early 90s of the 20th century as an opposition movement to the government at that time. Over time, the movement grew more and more and positioned itself as one of the strongest in the country during the Yemeni Revolution of 2011 (part of the Arab Spring). They soon brought under their control most of the northwestern part of the country, including the capital Sana'a. Then the civil war began, which many consider to be a proxy war between Saudi Arabia (supporting the old government) and Iran (supporting the Houthis). One of the biggest problems is certainly the great pressure the global economy is under. Namely, the Red Sea with the Suez Canal and the Bab el Mandeb strait represents one of the world's most important trade routes with an annual share of about 15% in world trade. Due to the poor security situation as well as the huge jump in insurance prices, most major shipping companies have diverted their ships to the route around the Cape of Good Hope. The problem is that this route is longer by several weeks and several thousand kilometers, so the price of the trip is much more expensive. Also, the countries that have ports on the Red Sea (Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia) found themselves in a difficult position.
Assessment of the susceptibility of the Raška river basin torrential floods
Authors: Dobrić Milica , Durlević Uroš , Čegar Nina
Published: December 2024

According to the registered torrential floods and following consequences, torrential floods are the most frequent and the most devastating natural hazard in Serbia. Their occurrence, extent and duration can be potentially predicted using methods for terrain susceptibility. The geographical features of the research area are decisive for the occurrence and extent of flash floods. From the climate aspect, short-term high-intensity rainfall is the cause of torrential floods. According to climate projections, climate change will lead to an increase frequency of extreme precipitation, and therefore to an increase frequency of torrential floods. Previous studies have shown that the catchment areas south of the Sava and Danube rivers are highly susceptible to flash floods and that extreme precipitation has been increasing since the second half of the 20th century. The aim of this work is to assess the occurrence of floods using the Flash Flood Potential Index (FFPI) in the Raška river basin. Since the FFPI does not include climate parameters in the assessment, change in extreme precipitation were also analyzed. According to the obtained results of FFPI method, endangered areas for flood occurrence are divided into four classes. The Raška river basin includes one of the most densely populated municipalities in Serbia, Novi Pazar, which is often affected by flash floods. According to the Inventory, the first catastrophic flood was recorded in 1955. Therefore, the research results can be useful for decision-makers, emergency management services and the local population in the implementation of prevention and adaptation measures.
Understanding the Evolution of APAs in China: A Historical Review
Authors: Zhao C.
Published: December 2024

The article provides a historical analysis of the development of advance pricing agreements (APAs) in China, categorizing their evolution into three distinct stages: the emergence stage (1998-2005), the evolution stage (2005-2016), and the maturity stage (2016-present). By examining the legislation and practice of APAs across these stages, the author observes three overarching trends in their development: a preference for prioritizing practice over legislation and pilot regions over nationwide implementation; a shift in focus from ensuring tax certainty for taxpayers to promoting fair allocation of taxing rights; and a consistent tendency to limit access to APAs to large multinational enterprises. The author notes that this latter trend is contradictory to the principle of equality, as it results in disparate treatment of taxpayers regarding their procedural rights.

Published: December 2024

Considering the high energy and material consumption, the environmental impact of additive manufacturing through FDM has faced significant criticism. For a more sustainable production process, industries require efficient optimization of the FDM process to lower environmental impact while retaining process efficiency. This study utilizes advanced multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies, specifically the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), to evaluate and enhance the environmental performance of FDM. Focusing on standard thermoplastic materials (e.g., PLA and PETG) and applications such as functional prototyping, we optimize key parameters layer height, print speed, and infill density to achieve reductions in energy usage (20%) and material waste (15%) compared to baseline FDM practices. These findings not only highlight a pathway toward greener FDM processes but also lay the groundwork for future research in sustainable optimization frameworks, applicable to other additive manufacturing methods and materials.

Published: December 2024

A field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different mulch materials on growth, yield and different qualitative characters of brinjal (var Boral). Different mulches used during the study were black polyethylene mulch, yellow polyethylene mulch, transparent polyethylene mulch, mango leaf, paddy straw, saw dust and sun grass along with bare soil as the control. Different mulches generated higher soil temperature and moisture regimes over the control. The maximum increase in soil temperature at noon was observed under transparent polyethylene mulch by 3.750C. Black polyethylene was found most effective in conserving higher moisture level than control, followed by yellow and transparent mulch. Weed population was significantly suppressed under black polyethylene mulch. Days to 50% flowering followed by days to first harvest were recorded at 54.27 and 86.21 days after transplanting under black polyethylene mulch as compared to rest of the treatments. Plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of leaves/plant, fruit yield and average fruit weight recorded higher values under black polyethylene mulches. Chlorophyll content was markedly increased for the same along with straw mulches. Paddy straw mulch improved the ascorbic acid content in brinjal followed by mango leaf mulch. Increased anthocyanin pigmentation in brinjal fruits were observed in saw dust mulch followed by black polyethylene mulch.
Tax Avoidance and the Accountant’s Professional Duty: A Review
Authors: Amlie Thomas T.
Published: December 2024

There is a substantial body of literature in the business ethics field dealing with the ethics of tax avoidance. Some of this literature extends the ethical inquiry to the tax professional, arguing that participation in tax avoidance activities is contrary to the accountant’s professional duty, both in terms of their duty to the public welfare as well as their duty to follow proper accounting practices. The existing literature usually argues from the premises that tax avoidance is detrimental to society, and that the accountant has a largely undefined duty to the welfare of society. If those premises are accepted, the conclusion in the existing literature that participation in tax avoidance activities violates the accountant’s duty to the public interest is unavoidable. It is also argued that accountants have a duty as professionals which would preclude engaging in tax-avoiding activities, irrespective of its impact on the wider society. This paper reviews the existing literature which addresses these topics and evaluates the premises and conclusions which have been largely accepted in the literature. The commonly cited harms to the public interest caused by tax avoidance are reviewed, and the origin, nature, and codification of the accountant’s professional duty are examined. It is argued that not only are the harms caused by tax avoidance often mis- or overstated, but that the professional duty of the accountant is misspecified as well. Since these are critical premises to the argument that tax avoidance represents a violation of the accountant’s duty to the public interest, the questionable validity of those premises leads to serious reservations about the validity of the conclusion. This paper does not argue that tax avoidance is either ethical or unethical, good or bad, moral or immoral. The sole purpose of this paper is to examine whether it is correct to argue that the accountant’s professional duty to the public interest would prohibit condoning or participating in tax avoidance activities.
noción de comunidad religiosa en la gestión de lo religioso
Authors: Setton Eli Damian
Published: December 2024

A partir de un interés general por comprender los dispositivos de delimitación de lo religioso respecto a otras esferas sociales, el artículo indaga en el papel del campo judicial en la regulación de lo religioso en la Argentina. El autor considera que los límites entre lo religioso y lo no religioso no son evidentes sino producidos por la acción de varios dispositivos, entre ellos las sentencias judiciales a las que define como instancias de delimitación de lo religioso con alto grado de formalidad. Se analizan situaciones que fueron definidas sea como pertenecientes a la esfera económica, sea como inherentes a la esfera de lo religioso. Estas definiciones contrapuestas generaron tensiones y disputas que fueron resueltas desde la instancia judicial, la cual fue posicionada como actor definitivo en la gestión de lo religioso. Las sentencias analizadas hacen referencia a casos judicializados relativos a la delimitación de lo religioso y lo laboral y a la diferenciación entre prácticas religiosas y mercantiles. En las conclusiones, se indaga en cómo el concepto de comunidad opera como referencia de sentido en las sentencias judiciales.
