The use of new technologies in urban warfare
Authors: Rokvić Vanja
Published: February 2025

The development and use of new technologies, especially those based on artificial intelligence (AI), are considered one of the significant characteristics of contemporary armed conflicts. The use of simple prototypes of unarmed drones in the early 1990s has today experienced a true expansion in the form of armed "drone swarms" and "suicide development of autonomous lethal systems ("killer robots") and AI tools for facial and object recognition, which have found their application in the wars in Ukraine (Clearview AI, Skykit Palantir) and Gaza (The Gospel, Lavender). Satellites, both military and commercial, such as SpaceX Starlink and Maxar, as well as AI tools for decrypting and analyzing data, also play a significant role in these conflicts, particularly in Ukraine. An indispensable segment of these conflicts is information warfare, where disinformation, fake news, and numerous AI tools for deepfake, creating fake images, and fake social media accounts are used as primary 'weapons.' Therefore, it is not surprising that some authors consider Ukraine to have turned into a "AI war lab and AI wars of the future", while Gaza can also br e said to represent a testing ground for AI tools for military purposes. Given that the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza are taking place in urban areas, this review paper presents the use of these technologies and their impact on the civilian population and infrastructure, as well as on the transformation of the war itself and the conduct of military operations in urban environments. The paper concludes that as AI continues to evolve, its impact on the transformation of warfare necessitates thorough examination and understanding of this topic.

Construction or modification of the city space projects as urban security problem in Belgrade
Authors: Paraušić-Marinković Ana , Lipovac Milan , Đurić Slađana
Published: February 2025

Various modifications in the urban space, which may refer to the reconstruction of existing or the construction of new infrastructure, are usually aimed at improving some aspects of life in the cities. However, any (re) construction project can be viewed as a security problem, bearing in mind that it can impact the state or perception of urban security in certain parts of the city. Therefore, the subject of this paper is the exploration of the planned modifications of the city space as an urban security issue, through the identification and description of the values that could be endangered as well as the security measures aimed at their protection. For this purpose, a content analysis of the detailed and general regulation plans for the area of the city of Belgrade, adopted by the local government from 2016 to 2020, was conducted. Based on the results of the research, it is possible to draw several conclusions: 1) construction or infrastructure modification projects in the urban space may threaten numerous urban security values, such as the environment, spatial identity of the city, communal services or traffic safety; 2) in order to protect identified vital values, a number of security measures are prescribed that the investor is obliged to implement; 3) these measures can be urban-planning, technical-technological, as well as procedural security measures.
Urban changes and security in the border cities and municipalities of Serbia
Authors: Sedlak Marko , Josifov Nemanja
Published: February 2025

The transformation of urban areas entails numerous changes. One of them is the safety of the population, which in modern times is a challenge on a global level, both in the cities of developing countries and in the cities of developed and regulated countries. It is affected by numerous urban processes and changes: sudden immigration and emigration of the population, migration of the population within municipalities, the level of economic development of the city, the structure of the population (level of education, level of employment), as well as the way of managing urban areas and dealing with deviant forms of behavior. This paper aims to link urban changes with security in the border area of Serbia. The task of the work is to determine the territorial distribution of security in the border area of Serbia depending on numerous relevant indicators of urban changes such as population, average age of the population, percentage of population with tertiary education, and percentage of urban population by municipality. The criterion for determining security is statistical data on legally convicted adults and minors. These parameters are divided into crimes against life and limb, property, human health, public traffic safety, and legal traffic in the case of adult offenders. In the case of juvenile offenders, they are divided into crimes against body and life and crimes against property. The database was formed based on data collected from publications of Municipalities and regions in the Republic of Serbia. To ensure the relevance of the given data, the value was corrected by the number of inhabitants of individual municipalities and cities. Statistical data are presented for 2011 and 2022. Based on the correlation between selected indicators of urban changes and data on the number of convicted persons, the regional distribution of security conditions in the border zone of Serbia is presented.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Paget's disease, also known as osteitis deformans, is a chronic bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling. This process results in disorganized growth of bone tissue, affecting the architecture and functionality of the skeleton.Case report: A 40-year-old female patient with a personal pathological history of arterial hypertension, postpartum due to physiological birth of 9 days of evolution. Since her birth she began to experience “tingling in her legs”, which progressively became duller until it was impossible for her to walk. The physical examination revealed: flaccid paraplegia, patellar hyporeflexia in both lower limbs, bilateral Babinski. The complementary examinations were within normal parameters except for immunoglobulin dosage, where a slight increase of IgG, KAPPA was observed. It was decided to perform magnetic resonance. Subsequently, she was evaluated by the Neurosurgery Service and underwent surgery to perform laminectomy plus flavinectomy of T6 and T7. The sample obtained is sent for study to the Pathological Anatomy Service, which reports marked fibrosis and hyalinization replacing bone tissue, concluding with Paget's Disease.Conclusions: Myelopathy secondary to Paget's disease, such as that presented by the patient, as such is rare and may occur due to vascular steal rather than compression

Let \( G \) be a connected graph with \( m \) edges. The density of a nontrivial subgraph \( H \) with \( \omega(H) \) components is \( d(H) = \frac{|E(H)|}{|V(H)| - \omega(H)} \). A graph \( G \) is uniformly dense if for any nontrivial subgraph \( H \) of \( G \), \( d(H) \leq d(G) \). For each cyclic ordering \( o=(e_1, e_2, \dots, e_m) \) of \( E(G) \), let \( h(o) \) be the largest integer \( k \) such that every \( k \) cyclically consecutive elements in \( o \) induce a forest in \( G \); and the largest \( h(o) \), taken among all cyclic orderings of \( G \), is denoted by \( h(G) \). A cyclic ordering \( o \) of \( G \) is a cyclic base ordering if \( h(o) = |V(G)| - \omega(G) \). In [15], Kajitani et al. proved that every connected nontrivial graph with a cyclic base ordering is uniformly dense, and conjectured that every uniformly dense graph has a cyclic base ordering. This motivates the study of \( h(G) \). In this paper, we investigate the value of \( h \) for some families of graphs and determine all connected graphs \( G \) with \( h(G) \leq 2 \).
An Assessment of Knowledge of ASHA Workers About Their Job Responsibilities and Practices Attending Maternal and Child Health Centre, Balangir, Odisha
Authors: Pati Kartik Chandra
Published: February 2025

Background: Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) workers play a vital role in the delivery of primary health care services to mothers and children in rural India. This article evaluates the knowledge, practices, and socio-demographic profile of ASHA workers reporting to the Maternal and Child Health Centre Bhima Bhoi Medical College &Hospital, Balangir, Odisha and examines factors associated with their knowledge. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted over a period of three months involving 400 participants. The data were collected using a pretested, semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS Version 21.0. Descriptive as well as inferential statistics have been applied to determine knowledge levels and factors influencing the same, among ASHA workers. Result: It showed that 81.5% of ASHA workers were adequately knowledgeable about their job and tasks, mainly in diarrhoea management (95%), HIV/AIDS (92%) and health insurance programs (91%). Significant gaps were, however, identified in the knowledge areas of neonatal care (40%) and breastfeeding practices (59%). Notable positive correlation was found with improved knowledge levels pertaining to participation in VHNDs, attending refresher training, and achieving better performance during postnatal visits (p < 0.05). Approximately 90.8% belonged to Class V of the Modified B.G. Prasad Socioeconomic Classification, making them principally economically disadvantaged. Conclusion: Although ASHA workers showed a general awareness of their tasks, the acknowledged gaps in neonatal care and breastfeeding skills indicate an acute need for targeted training efforts. Such programs should focus on specific knowledge gaps and the enhancement of the workers' capacity to deliver essential health services. Enhancing community engagement, continuous education with access to refreshers may help in maximizing the effectiveness of the ASHA workers and in upgrading maternal and child health outcomes within the marginalized rural areas.

Characterizing and Optimizing Network Slicing and Virtualization in 5G/6G Networks: A Case Study
Authors: Oodee Philip-Kpae Friday , Ogbondamati Lloyd Endurance , Igulu Kingsley Theophilus
Published: February 2025

This study explores how advanced network management strategies can enhance resource efficiency, ensure high-quality service (QoS), and reduce latency in networks that incorporate varying numbers of slices. The primary goal was to tackle issues such as network congestion and resource allocation, which become more complex as user demand increases. As networks expand, it is essential to manage resources effectively to provide uninterrupted service without sacrificing performance. A key area of focus is network slicing, which involves dividing a network into virtual segments that are customized for different user needs or services. The research specifically examined how increasing the number of slices, from 1 to 50, impacted factors like QoS, resource utilization, and latency. By simulating these scenarios, the study measured key performance indicators such as QoS, resource consumption, and latency at each slice level. The findings revealed that resource utilization improved considerably as the number of slices increased, rising from approximately 0.1 to 0.9 when the slices grew from 1 to 50. This improvement demonstrates the network's scalability and its ability to efficiently allocate resources to accommodate growing demand. While the number of slices increased, QoS remained relatively stable. It started at 95% and decreased to 80% when the number of slices reached 50, which illustrates the network management system's capacity to sustain service quality, even under conditions of heavy congestion. Additionally, latency experienced a substantial reduction, falling from 90 ms with just one slice to 10 ms when there were 50 slices, showcasing the effectiveness of enhanced routing and management strategies. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of advanced network management to address the challenges posed by growing demands while optimizing resource allocation, maintaining high service quality, and minimizing latency. These insights are critical for developing future networks that can efficiently support a wide range of services at scale.
The Implications of the Judgement Discourse of Matthew 25:31-46 for Christian Social Welfare Provision
Authors: Adasi-Bekoe Joseph
Published: February 2025

This article explores the implications of Matthew 25:31-46, where Jesus presents the final judgment through the metaphor of "sheep" and "goats." In this article, we discuss the centrality of Christ’s role as Judge and the place providing acts of mercy or social welfare for others play in getting people to the right side of God on the last day. We explore the basis for the division of people into the left and right side of God on the last day of judgment. The article shows that acts of compassion toward “the least of these” is the key action that places men in acceptance of God. Righteousness, which earns the sheep a place of favor in God’s kingdom, is defined by the six phrases of acts of mercy catalogued in verse 35. The article suggests to us that genuine service to others is inseparable from true discipleship. Even as we explore the distinct reactions of each group, their reactions after the passing of their respective sentence suggests that the sheep has acquired their reward by a deeper layer of humility and selflessness. Each action of theirs were taken in response to a social welfare need of others they encountered, and Christ rewarded them on the basis that their little kindness to others, done in honor of Christ. Those who fell in the “goat” or the non-favorable group had the opportunity to minister to Christ in their own small way but ignored the opportunity. The article invites readers to reflect on the significance of compassionate living and selfless action as essential expressions of faith.

La convivencia escolar y el manejo de los conflictos que se presentan en las instituciones educativas, sin duda son cuestiones que están permanentemente en la agenda tanto de autoridades como del personal administrativo y profesores, pues sin duda que la mejora de la convivencia es uno de los factores de protección más valioso para prevenir, detener y reducir la violencia.
La convivencia en la escuela ha cobrado especial importancia por las implicaciones que tiene en la calidad de la educación. Por un lado, los estudios relacionados con el logro escolar identifican que la forma de convivir es un factor asociado con el aprendizaje. A su vez, desde el enfoque de derechos se busca una escuela que promueva interacciones que respeten las diferencias y cuyos estudiantes aprendan a convivir con la pluralidad, se enfrenten a los conflictos de manera positiva y promuevan el entendimiento mutuo y la paz mediante la participación democrática (Fierro, 2014).

La Posibilidad de recuperar la inocencia de todo hombre
Authors: Roca Palop Álvaro
Published: February 2025

El hombre viene al mundo envuelto en la inocencia. Con el paso del tiempo y el abandono de ciertas actitudes propias de la infancia, el hombre va perdiendo aquella inocencia originaria. ¿Podemos recuperarla realmente? Aunque puede resultar complejo, hay varios indicios que señalan a esta recuperación, no ya para volver al pasado, sino más bien para recuperar del pasado aquello que nos pertenece y es propio de nuestra condición originaria. Ofrecemos, como buen ejemplo, hacia la experiencia de Abraham, quien, a pesar de su edad nonagenaria, al conocer a Dios, mostró signos más propios de un niño que de un anciano. Por ello, Abraham retomó la infancia, esta vez según el Espíritu de Dios, trazando un camino para todos aquellos hijos de Abraham en la fe que, como él, buscan a Dios y, asimismo recuperan la inocencia.
Escotismo en Nueva España: Ley natural y evangelización
Authors: Murillo Gallegos Verónica del Carmen
Published: February 2025

El concepto de ley natural fue uno de los más usados en las noticias y discusiones sobre los pueblos nativo-americanos y para argumentar en torno al dominio hispánico sobre ellos. Sin embargo, en el siglo XVI, podemos identificar dos significados de ley natural, una que proviene del tomismo y otra del escotismo. La mayoría de las investigaciones actuales se han centrado en el estudio de la ley natural en su vertiente tomista. El objetivo es exponer el pensamiento de Duns Escoto sobre la ley natural para analizar la manera en que los misioneros franciscanos aplican este concepto, pues con él explican algunos de los problemas que afrontaron en su labor con los indígenas. Encontramos así una perspectiva particular, y poco estudiada, desde la que se abordaron temas como la racionalidad indígena o la autoridad de los españoles sobre el Nuevo Mundo.

Published: February 2025

Este trabajo presenta el desarrollo de un sistema de reconocimiento facial y análisis emocional en tiempo real que se implementa en Python y utiliza una variedad de bibliotecas especializadas. Para capturar imágenes faciales en vivo, el sistema utiliza una cámara web y una aplicación móvil creada con.NET MAUI. Los datos se envían a un servidor Flask, donde un algoritmo basado en modelos pre entrenados de reconocimiento de emociones faciales FER (Facial Expression Recognition), realiza la detección. El sistema devuelve la emoción predominante junto con las coordenadas del rostro en formato JSON mientras evalúa emociones como felicidad, tristeza, miedo y sorpresa. La creación de una visualización comprensible y clara que facilite el análisis de las expresiones faciales y la identificación de rostros humanos es el objetivo principal. El análisis preciso y eficiente es garantizado por la combinación de técnicas de visión por computadora con OpenCV, aprendizaje automático y procesamiento de imágenes. Esto tiene un impacto significativo en campos como la interacción humano-computadora.
El sistema contempla la integración de algoritmos de aprendizaje profundo para aumentar la precisión y la adaptabilidad del sistema, lo que permitirá su amplia adopción en una variedad de industrias. La implementación de este sistema no solo promete avances tecnológicos, sino también una comprensión más profunda del comportamiento humano a través del análisis emocional, lo que abre nuevas oportunidades para la investigación y aplicación de tecnologías emergentes.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have radically transformed the world in the 21st century. From the digital revolution to the expansion of the internet and social networks, these tools have deeply integrated into daily routines, altering the way people work, communicate, relate, and learn. In the workplace, ICT has created new opportunities with the emergence of remote jobs, automation of processes, and the rise of entire industries based on technology. Likewise, communication has undergone a metamorphosis with the immediacy provided by digital platforms, redefining the notions of distance and time.In the social sphere, information and communication technologies have modified personal interactions and the ways in which they are built and maintained. Education has been innovated with the introduction of online learning platforms, democratizing access to knowledge and promoting continuous and flexible training. Despite these benefits, the advancement of ICT also have challenges, such as the digital divide, which separates those who have access to technology from those who do not. Additionally, concerns arise regarding privacy and information security. Therefore, technologies offer enriching benefits accompanied by challenges that require attention and reflection to effectively manage this new era of digital connectivity.
Incubation of environmental projects through mobile learning
Authors: Alfonso García Dolis de la Caridad
Published: February 2025

The concept of environmental projects is socially associated with the altruism of non-profit organizations. However, the green economy has shown that there are ways to make green ventures profitable by linking them to responsible consumption. One of the greatest difficulties in undertaking these environmental projects is the lack of information, support, financing and collaboration networks. As a proposed solution to this problem, a discussion group was held with young entrepreneurs from the Centro Universitario de Ciencias Económico Administrativas of the University of Guadalajara, to conceive proposals for the design of a mobile application that facilitates the incubation of environmental projects in Zapopan. A qualitative methodology with an interpretive approach was used to recognize the perceptions of young people about the environment, educational technology and environmental and social entrepreneurship. Finally, 10 proposals for mobile applications were conceived to incubate environmental projects in Zapopan. These proposals serve as a starting point to recognize the information needs and aspirations of the typical users of this platform: social and environmental entrepreneurs. Although there are previous references such as the Ecomentes application in Veracruz, they have not achieved popularity due to a series of factors that are analyzed in the research.
