Published: April 2024

Developing moral values ​​is a process where a child is trained to be sensitive to stimuli, especially regarding the demands of moral values, and learns to get along by behaving politely towards other people in his environment. Developing moral values ​​at Dharma Wanita West Labuhanhaji Kindergarten, South Aceh, is still underdeveloped, because the majority of children are not yet able to behave politely and adapt themselves during the teaching and learning process. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of singing Islamic songs on moral values ​​in early childhood at the Dharma Wanita Kindergarten in West Labuhanhaji, South Aceh. This type of research is experimental with a One Group pretest posttest approach. Data collection was carried out using observation sheets, to see the effect of singing Islamic songs or not. The data analysis techniques used are normality test, homogeneity test and hypothesis test. The research results from data analysis show that the influence of the Islamic song method is to develop children's moral values. In this research it can be concluded that the effect of singing Islamic songs on developing moral values ​​in children is obtained by a calculated t value of 10.528 > t table 12.050. It can be seen in the hypothesis test that a sig value of 0.000 < 0.05 is obtained, meaning that Ha is accepted, Ho is rejected.
Conversaciones con Rolando Cordera
Authors: Pensado Leglise Patricia
Published: April 2024

Conversaciones con Rolando Cordera es resultado de una serie de encuentros memoriosos en torno a los afanes, ocupaciones y preocupaciones de un intelectual. Un mexicano comprometido con la educación pública y laica, con la universidad nacional; un economista convencido de la necesidad de cambiar el curso de desarrollo económico. Que se niega a aceptar que un país como México, con el tamaño económico que tiene, con la riqueza generada y acumulada, con las instituciones y el conocimiento que tan difícilmente han podido ser labrados, registre las magnitudes de pobreza y las cuotas de desigualdad que históricamente lo han marcado. La trayectoria de Rolando Cordera nos permite atisbar en la trayectoria de una generación de mexicanos y una época que, como señala José Woldenberg, apostó por “el flanco izquierdo del espectro político”.

Resulta imposible comprender las relaciones entre México y Estados Unidos en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX sin tomar en cuenta el papel de Matías Romero. El diplomático oaxaqueño fue representante del gobierno mexicano en Washington en tres ocasiones (1860-1867, 1882-1891 y 1893-1898) y le tocó desempeñarse, e influir considerablemente, en la transición entre dos etapas distintas. La primera, caracterizada por fricciones y desencuentros constantes, culminó en la década de 1860 en una coyuntura de grandes crisis políticas y conflictos armados en ambos países: la guerra de Reforma y la intervención francesa, en México, y la guerra civil en Estados Unidos, coyuntura en la que el propio Romero se desenvolvió con enorme habilidad. La segunda etapa se distinguió por la construcción gradual de relaciones más estables y pacíficas —aunque con algunos momentos de tensión— y por un proceso creciente de inversión de capital estadunidense en México y de vínculos comerciales y económicos más estrechos entre los dos países. Durante su prolongada gestión, sirviéndose de un conocimiento sin par de la sociedad e instituciones estadunidenses, así como de una amplia red de contactos con empresarios, políticos e intelectuales, Romero tendió puentes y promovió un diálogo constructivo que facilitó relaciones más cordiales, así como el aumento del intercambio comercial y de la inversión estadunidense. Con base en un fondo documental inaccesible para los historiadores hasta fechas muy recientes, los ensayos incluidos en este volumen representan un intento por revalorar el papel de Matías Romero en las relaciones México-Estados Unidos a la luz de nuevos materiales. En conjunto, los trabajos dejan claro que Romero contribuyó de manera fundamental a la estabilización de las relaciones y a un periodo de mayor entendimiento entre ambos países.
The Role of Educational Expansion in the Rise of Non-marital Childbearing in Croatia: A Decomposition Analysis
Authors: Međimurec Petra , Čipin Ivan , Mustač Dario
Published: April 2024

Research shows that individuals with lower educational attainment are more likely to have children outside marriage. However, as rates of non-marital childbearing have risen at the population level, they have coincided with expansions in education. Studies suggest that while the low-educated continue to have the highest proportion of births outside marriage, their declining numbers restrain their contribution to the observed growth in non-marital childbearing. Against this backdrop, our study delves into non-marital childbearing among first-time parents in Croatia, aiming to answer the following question: What portion of the rise in non-marital childbearing can be attributed to shifts in the educational composition of first-time mothers and fathers, as opposed to changes in education-specific rates? Drawing on vital statistics data from the mid-1980s onward, we examine the proportion of first children born outside marriage across low, medium, and high educational strata. Applying a decomposition analysis, we scrutinise the components of the overall increase in non-marital childbearing over four successive periods: pre-1990, 1990s, 2000s, and post-2010. Our findings, in line with broader trends, reveal an upward trajectory in non-marital childbearing across all educational groups. The most notable contribution to the overall rise in non-marital childbearing stems from rate changes among the medium-educated. On the whole, increases in education-specific rates fully explain the rise of non-marital childbearing among first-time parents in Croatia; the total compositional effect is found to work in the opposite direction. This indicates that the increase in non-marital childbearing resulting from behavioural changes was to an extent counteracted by educational expansion. The paper advances our understanding of the relationship between education and non-marital childbearing by providing context-specific information from Croatia.
Estimating excess winter mortality in Serbia
Authors: Arsenović Daniela
Published: April 2024

Seasonal variations in mortality are well documented, indicating a higher death rate during the winter compared with other periods of the year. Despite the evidence that vulnerability to winter weather has decreased, a significant number of preventable deaths still occur during the colder period of the year. Assessment of measures for excess winter mortality (EWM) is important for the public health system and what may be improved, but also for policymakers and stakeholders in order to be informed about current as well as future mortality-related climate change issues. This paper explores trends in EWM in Serbia and examines the validity of the methods of estimating EWM using monthly mortality data for the period 2000-2021. In order to estimate excess death using different measures, three methods were applied. First method (M1) uses the winter period as December to March and compare with the average of the non-winter period (preceding: August-November and following: April-July); second method (M2) defines winter as December to March against summer months (preceding: August and September, and following: June and July); and the third method (M3) set six months from October to March as a winter against the six-month non-winter period (preceding: August and September, and following: April to July). All three methods confirmed a higher number of deaths during the winter, and highest excess winter mortality was observed using the M2. This method determines winter as a four-month period from December to March, which is arbitrary but also well recognized in literature and generally used by public health services. The summer period in M2 is also casual and adjusted to the latitude. The main disadvantage of M2 refers to excluding April, May, October, and November from the winter/summer ratio. Compared with M2, M3 gives slightly lower excess winter mortality, but this measure classifies months in two too-wide seasons. The first measure, M1, estimates the lowest number of excess deaths, but considering climate characteristics in Serbia, this method uses the most suitable approach to assess winter mortality.
Cohort Fertility in the Former Yugoslav Countries

Published: April 2024

This study analyses trends in cohort fertility in the former Yugoslav countries. The goal is to identify and describe differences and similarities in demographic trajectories related to fertility behaviour. We consider a relatively long period, covering the transformation from agrarian to industrial capitalist societies during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and continuing with a rapid transition into socialist modernity after 1945. This era witnessed profound societal, political, and economic changes that strongly influenced fertility behaviour in the region, with key roles played by changes in women’s roles, urbanization, and other socio-economic and socio-cultural factors crucial for family life. Our inquiry further extends to the more recent period, and examines how fertility-related demographic trajectories developed over the transition to the market economy during the 1990s and beyond. We aim to provide a detailed overview of cohort fertility patterns in former Yugoslav states, to detect countries with similar characteristics, and to assess the potential convergence among countries. Drawing data on the number of live births from the post-World War II censuses, we calculate and present indicators on completed cohort fertility rates, parity progression ratios, and parity distribution. Our findings indicate that fertility decline in former Yugoslav republics took place at varying paces and in different ways, and that the progression to higher birth orders played a crucial role in shaping the identified patterns. Employing cluster analysis, we identified three distinct groups of countries, with Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia forming the low-fertility group. Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, and Montenegro exhibited higher fertility levels, and Kosovo represents a unique example of a country with exceptionally high fertility in Europe. The results highlight the intricate interaction of historical, political, economic, and social factors that contribute to the observed clustering of countries. Our comprehensive analysis contributes to a better understanding of persisting differences and potential convergence in cohort fertility trends in the former Yugoslav region.
Croats in Serbia and Serbs in Croatia: demographic similarities and differences - selected aspects
Authors: Živić Dražen , Pokos Nenad , Šimunić Nikola
Published: April 2024

The subject of research in this paper are the populations in the population censuses of declared Croats in the Republic of Serbia and Serbs in the Republic of Croatia in the time period 2001/2002. – 2021/2022 years. The purpose of the research is to determine the reached level of similarities and differences in selected dynamic and structural demographic indicators between these two minority communities, as well as in their relation to the total and majority population of the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, with the aim of assessing their demographic sustainability in the future. The research is based on the official results of general population censuses held in Croatia in 2001, 2011 and 2021, and in Serbia in 2002, 2011 and 2022. The descriptive and comparative method will be applied in the research, and the results will be presented in aggregated analytical tables and graphs. The mentioned subject will be observed in the general dynamic demographic framework, which for both countries and for both minority populations is extremely depopulated, which means extremely unfavourable. Thus, without going into the issue of obvious changes in census methodologies, in the period 2001-2021 the number of the total population of Croatia was reduced by 12.7%, and the number of the total population of Serbia in the period 2002-2022 was reduced by 11.3 %. At the same time, the number of declared Croats in Serbia decreased by 44.6%, while the number of declared Serbs in Croatia decreased by 38.6%. Consequently, the relative share of Croats in Serbia decreased from 0.9% to 0.6% (by 0.3 percentage points), and of Serbs in Croatia from 4.5% to 3.2% (by 1.3 percentage points). In addition to the negative demographic dynamics of both populations (both minority and total), the observed period is also characterized by unfavourable processes in the formation of partial demographic structures, especially biological (age and gender), which, thanks to the accelerated aging of the population, is increasingly becoming a limiting factor in their long-term demographic sustainability.
Evolution of the national population structure of Montenegro from the Yugoslav period to the present day
Authors: Popović Slađana
Published: April 2024

This paper deals with the spatiotemporal changes in the national structure of Montenegro, emphasizing the shifts in the national composition during the former Yugoslavia and the period following its dissolution and the restoration of independence. Using various demographic and social indicators, demographic changes and their impact on national identification are investigated across different time periods. In the first part of the paper, the national composition of Montenegro during the time of Yugoslavia is examined, considering it as the smallest of its six republics. The focus is on exploring the ethnic dynamics, socio-cultural factors, and political influences that shaped the identity of the population during that period. The second part of the paper addresses the changes in the national composition after 2006, when Montenegro became an independent state, along with the factors that influenced these changes. Through a comparative analysis of data and the identification of key trends, the paper provides a deeper insight into the dynamics of changes in the national population structure of Montenegro. Analysing census data from 1948 to 2011, drastic changes in the national composition are observed, primarily concerning the number of Montenegrins. The number of people identifying ethnically as Montenegrins decreased significantly from decade to decade, dropping from 82% in the 1961 census to 45% in the census conducted in 2011. Some studies predict that this percentage will be even lower in the upcoming census, which has garnered significant attention in Montenegro due to its postponement and politicization. The paper also presents the distribution of dominant ethnic groups by municipalities, revealing additional factors such as regional influences that have impacted the national composition of specific areas. The goal of the paper is a deeper understanding of the evolution of Montenegro's national identities and its implications for social cohesion. It also aims to inform future policies that support inclusivity and multi-ethnic harmony.
Census data corrections and intercensal estimates in Serbia for the period 2002–2022
Authors: Marinković Ivan
Published: April 2024

Censuses in Serbia often introduce new methodological solutions, making it increasingly challenging to analyse population changes. Methodological differences in the results of the last three censuses (2002, 2011, and 2022) hinder accurate data comparisons and lead to significantly varied interpretations of census data. Assessing net migration in the inter-census period and generating annual postcensal estimates of the total population, which form the basis for calculating demographic indicators, rely on census-derived data. Annual population estimates can deviate significantly from actual values, particularly when the base year (census year) is distant. As a result, estimates for 2021 and 2022 differ by over 180 thousand due to being based on different censuses. Intercensal estimates have not been conducted in Serbia to date, but they can substantially impact the correction of demographic indicators, especially at lower territorial-administrative levels. Intercensal estimates refer to population estimates between two censuses and are deemed more precise than postcensal estimates as they approximate data between two specific points in time. Leveraging census results (2002, 2011, and 2022), vital events in the inter-census period, and internal migration data, annual population figures at the municipal level and the extent of external migration will be computed. These calculations will enable the estimation of population figures and total net migration for all higher territorial-administrative units, starting from the municipal level. Consequently, the fundamental demographic indicators for 2002–2022 will be reevaluated based on the acquired data. The outcomes are expected to reveal the extent to which population estimates were overstated in official reports due to the exclusion of external migration in their computation. This imprecision led to inaccuracies in basic demographic indicators. By rectifying the data, it is anticipated that death rates and fertility levels will slightly surpass the officially published values during the inter-census period. The data obtained from intercensal estimates should demonstrate how the migration component influences population fluctuations at the municipal level.
Demographic future of municipalities in Serbia through the lens of space-time pattern mining
Authors: Lović Obradović Suzana , Matović Stefana
Published: April 2024

The population changes at different spatial levels with varying velocities due to the influence of different factors. Serbia is a country of distinct spatial-demographic disparities, which have been shaped by various multi-decade political events on its wider territory. For more effective management of space, it is important to know not only the current situation but also the population change in the future, which population forecasting can assist with. This paper adopted a space-time pattern mining to identify the best population forecasting model in Serbia at the local level by 2036 for each year, based on annual population data from 1991 to 2021. Curve fit, Exponential smoothing, and Forest-based model were used to predict the population number for each time-step (year) at the municipal level. Following that, using Evaluating forecast by location, the best forecast population model for each municipality was identified. Finally, the population at the municipality level for the last time step, i.e., 2036 was cartographically presented. To obtain a more precise picture of future demographic trends, we singled out municipalities with a decreasing and increasing trend, as well as municipalities with no clearly expressed trend of population change, based on existing data on the number of inhabitants. Analyses were conducted in Version 3.0 of ArcGIS Pro. In relation to the analysis of available data (1991–2021), the municipalities with a trend of decreasing population are dominant. According to the estimated population by 2036, Serbia's multi-decade depopulation process is anticipated to continue. According to all three forecasts, Serbia will have less than six million inhabitants in 2036. A comparison of multiple forecasting models revealed that Exponential smoothing forecasting is the best fit for the majority of municipalities. This illustrates that most municipalities in Serbia display substantial repetitive patterns. By spatializing the forecasting models, a model that best predicts changes in the population number for each municipality was chosen. Thus, predicted data on population trends can serve local decision-makers to develop resource allocation strategies (construction of roads and other infrastructure, supply of food, energy, etc.) as well as optimal management at the local level.
Studying transnational families using quantitative methods: possible data sources in Serbia
Authors: Predojević-Despić Jelena
Published: April 2024

Transnational families (TNF) are part of migration and mobility as ways of maintaining family relations across national borders. However, the research of this phenomenon has developed more significantly only in the last few decades, in the era of globalization, better traffic and information communication, and mostly with the increase of temporary and circular forms of migration and mobility in economically developed countries, which inevitably lead to geographically separate lives of members of the same family. TNF are mostly characterized by visible dynamics, in geographical, social, economic, psychological and other forms. It implies constant change, which is inevitably reflected in the possible approaches for the study of TNF. One of the challenges is the lack of agreed definitions. In most countries, a TNF definition does not exist. Therefore, it is not surprising that the vast majority of TNF research is based on topics that can be studied using qualitative methods. However, over time, TNF members, especially in destination countries, have become important stakeholders about whom little is known, whether they are workers, students, refugees, among whom are a large number of minors. Also, family members, for example, parents, left behind in the origin countries, or retired foreign workers in destination countries, are placing increasing demands on the state funds for their care and well-being. Issues of social and health care and the rights of TNF members both in the countries of origin and destination are just some of the topics for which reliable and accessible data are necessary. These are also the main reasons why in economically developed countries approaches to the study of TNF using quantitative methods are increasingly being developed. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to consider the most important sources of data on TNF. Survey research stands out among them. On the example of Serbia, which at the same time faces emigration and immigration, as well as transit forced migration movements, the paper discusses the possibilities as well as challenges in the study of TNF using quantitative methods, as well as ways of developing data sources that can at least to some extent track and record their complex dynamics.
Demographic diversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina: An integrated analysis of composite indicators at the municipal level
Authors: Avdić Boris , Avdić Aida , Sivac Amina
Published: April 2024

The contemporary demographic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a very active topic in academic, but also in wider political and public discourses, particularly in the context of increased depopulation trends. Distinctly negative processes in the natural change and net migration are the result of post-war and transitional circumstances, as well as the socio-economic status of the country. Demographic disparities conditioned by a complex social background (economic, social, political, cultural and environmental factors) are often the subject of geographic research in this area, however, few studies have resulted in a comprehensive demographic categorization of municipalities and cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would be the first step in detection precise causes of demographic regression. Demographic categorization of municipalities on the basis of as many available demographic indicators as possible is a useful instrument in planning, through which concrete revitalization measures can be created primarily aimed at reducing polarization effects in development and depopulation of continuously deprived regions. This study used demographic data from the last 2013 population census, as well as those from more recent publications of national and entity statistical agencies. Special focus is placed on the index of total population change, population density, vital index, ageing coefficient and share of highly educated population. These indicators were analysed from the aspect of regional disparities, whereby special categories of municipalities and cities were created for each of them, in relation to how favourable is local demographic situation. In the second phase, their multi-criteria data integration was carried out, which more clearly indicate the general level of demographic development of individual municipalities/cities.
Global challenge on a local scene - the urban reality of Serbia at the beginning of the 21st century
Authors: Đurkin Danica
Published: April 2024

With more than half of the world’s population living in cities, the 21st century is known as the urban century. However, in an urbanized world that goes hand in hand with a growing world population, a “silent” process of urban shrinkage has been taking place for some time. In the first decades after the Second World War, the decline of cities was initially limited to the old urbanized regions of the world. In the late 20th and early 21st century, it spread to developing countries and has become a global phenomenon. The Serbian urban population grew from the 1960s to the 1980s, while it stagnated in the 1990s. Complex spatial-demographic and socio-economic changes during the post-socialist transition have determined the demographic development of urban settlements in Serbia towards shrinkage. At the beginning of the 21st century, the urban population in Serbia has slightly increased, but the disproportions in population development between urban settlements have deepened, reinforcing the previously existing urban polarization. In the last decade a negative average annual rate of change of the urban population in Serbia was recorded. As a result, more than 80% of urban settlements in Serbia are affected by the process of urban shrinkage. Urban shrinkage is thus becoming a challenge at both global and local levels. The paper analyses the development of the total population in 167 urban settlements in Serbia in the period 1961-2022. The aim of paper is to determine the main urban trends in Serbia, focusing on the phenomenon of urban shrinkage.
Correlation and regression analysis of the population change index of border municipalities of the Republic of Serbia, 2011–2022
Authors: Ranković Radoslav
Published: April 2024

The border municipalities of the Republic of Serbia are most often seen as peripheral in the geographical, demographic, social and economic sense. Serbia, like other post-Yugoslav countries, underwent crucial changes during the 1990s. They encouraged the intensification of unequal regional development in the centre–periphery relation. Although some border territories of European countries deviate from this pattern, the border effect has led to numerous negative consequences of the polarization process in Serbia, especially in those border municipalities with a longer peripheral status. Since depopulation is one of the biggest development problems in Serbia, the population change index 2011–2022 was studied using methods of correlation and regression analysis of demographic and social-economic indicators. Correlation analysis found that there is a medium or strong relationship with six indicators, while regression analysis showed that even those negligible variables in correlation analysis, such as the number of employees in the primary sector, can be significant. By applying the multiple regression method, it was determined that the population change index of 44 border municipalities can be predicted using three independent variables: the rate of natural increase, the number of marriages and the number of employees in the primary sector. The obtained regression model proved to be significant, considering the satisfactory value of the adjusted coefficient of multiple determination (adj R²=0.707) and the p-values of the independent variables below the threshold value (p < 0.05). As an outlier, the municipality of Čajetina stands out, for which the adopted model predicted a decrease in the number of inhabitants by 12.8% (the actual decrease is about 1.1%), while the absolute residual values for the other border municipalities range in the interval of 0.05 (City of Sombor) to 7.83 (municipality of Tutin). The aim of the paper is reflected in the importance of the application of selected statistical methods in demographic analysis.
Assessment of the population exposed to pluvial floods using very high resolution data: case study of Metković, Croatia
Authors: Šiljeg Ante , Krvavica Nino , Marić Ivan
Published: April 2024

Rapid urbanization and global climate change are leading to increasingly frequent and severe pluvial floods that often affect many people around the world. Assessing the population exposed to pluvial floods is crucial for making optimal decisions in flood prevention and mitigation, but depends heavily on the accuracy of data sets. For this reason, the paper proposes an approach based on very high-resolution data and scenarios that connect hydrological-hydraulic modelling and GIS analyses to estimate the population exposed to pluvial floods. Hazard models and dasymetric models at the level of individual buildings were created, integrating and synthesizing data from various sources. The analysis of pluvial flood hazards in the Metković settlement watershed was conducted following the methodology proposed and developed within the STREAM Interreg project. Flood hazards were assessed through hydrological-hydraulic simulations of surface runoff from precipitation. The basis for these simulations was precipitation defined by design storms for different probabilities. Various spatial layers were collected and generated for hydrological-hydraulic analysis of precipitation runoff, including DTM, land cover, land-surface impermeability, surface roughness, and infiltration (CN curve numbers). The foundation for creating the dasymetric model was building footprints extracted using GEOBIA based on a multispectral model, building height and shape data obtained from processing aerial LiDAR, spatial plan data, population data by statistical circles, and field research. Buildings were classified into residential and non-residential, with residential structures further classified into houses and multi-unit buildings. The results of flood hazard analysis include maps of water depth and velocity, as well as hazard levels for each observed probability. The exposure assessment of the population was conducted through GIS analyses by identifying the number of exposed populations. The results show that the number of people exposed to pluvial floods is significantly reduced, for different probabilities, when using the population count at the building level compared to conventional population datasets. The approach and data obtained can be used to improve the efficiency of emergency interventions, enhance vulnerability assessments, increase the accuracy of local flood models, and better understand the interactions between land cover, climate, population, and floods.
La Sociología Histórica Internacional y el estudio de la China moderna: un enfoque metodológico
Authors: Pérez Mena Ferran
Published: April 2024

Durante las últimas décadas, los estudios sinológicos han experimentado el resurgir del debate sobre qué es China. En este contexto, la literatura convencional estudia la China moderna como un “estado-civilización”, un “estado confuciano-legalista” o un “estado revolucionario revisionista” propenso a cuestionar el sistema liberal internacional liderado por las grandes potencias anglosajonas. Sin embargo, este tipo de literatura adolece de un internalismo y nacionalismo metodológico. Es decir, la literatura parte del postulado metodológico de que el desarrollo del Estado chino moderno es consecuencia de su desarrollo interno y de las inclinaciones psicológicas e ideológicas de sus lideres. Como consecuencia, la literatura ignora como la China moderna ha sido constituida gracias a la dialéctica entre factores externos geopolíticos y su desarrollo interno. Así pues, en contra de este tipo de literatura, este artículo examina cómo la Sociología Histórica Internacional (SHI), en su vertiente marxista y no-marxista, nos puede asistir a trascender los problemas metodológicos de la literatura dominante, ofreciendo así un enfoque metodológico más holístico del estudio de la China moderna que conecta lo “local” con lo “global”. El principal argumento del artículo está presentado en tres fases. En la primera fase, el texto analiza cómo la literatura convencional ha abordado el estudio de la naturaleza del Estado chino moderno. En la segunda fase, este artículo examina las principales características de la SHI, en su vertiente marxista y no-marxista. Finalmente, el texto aplica la SHI al estudio de la China moderna con la finalidad de abrir nuevas vías de análisis para comprender la China moderna de una forma más holística. Este artículo original busca contribuir a la literatura crítica en lengua hispana sobre la formación de la China moderna, el campo minoritario de la SHI en habla hispana y la relación de la teoría de las Relaciones Internacionales con China.
Vila Nova de Ourém (Portugal) y la exitosa resistencia al descanso dominical entre 1929 y 1939
Authors: Oliveira Fábio Emanuel
Published: April 2024

El golpe de Estado del 28 de mayo de 1926 puso fin a dieciséis años de República. Con las fuerzas conservadoras en el poder, comenzó la transición hacia un nuevo régimen, con el nacimiento del Estado Novo en 1933. A partir de 1929, se observó el principio de normalización del descanso semanal en Portugal, como agradecimiento a la Iglesia Católica por su apoyo en el establecimiento del nuevo statu quo político. Al mismo tiempo, era una forma de estrechar lazos con la Iglesia Católica, que era vista como una organización que controlaba a la población. Sin embargo, esta normalización del descanso semanal fue contestada por los comerciantes e industriales que vivían en las parroquias de Freixianda y Olival, en el municipio de Vila Nova de Ourém, bastión del catolicismo en Portugal debido a Fátima. Esta crítica se reflejó en la Consulta sobre el Descanso Dominical en Portugal de 1933, una iniciativa llevada a cabo por el ejecutivo municipal a favor de la generalización de la medida. A partir de entonces, se produjo un intenso debate en la prensa local, que culminó con la aceptación de las reivindicaciones de los demandantes debido a las excepciones previstas en la ley; al mismo tiempo, resultó poco beneficioso para el régimen recién instaurado entrar en confrontación directa con las clases comerciales e industriales en un contexto económico y social desfavorable.

Nueva política exterior de México, evaluación de la gestión 2018-2021
Authors: Cárdenas-Cabello Fernando
Published: April 2024

Este trabajo se propuso por objetivo describir las principales directrices en materia de política exterior de México durante el siglo XX y lo que va del XXI, para centrarse en identificar la orientación de la administración actual específicamente de los años 2018 al 2021, bajo la hipótesis de que esta ha recuperado su autonomía con respecto de la política exterior norteamericana. Para ello se efectuó una semblanza desde la metodología del institucionalismo histórico, de los principales posicionamientos del gobierno de México ante sucesos internacionales relevantes del siglo pasado, para contrastar estas posiciones con las de las administraciones de 1988 al 2018, las de estos treinta años presentaron una clara tendencia a girar en torno de la política norteamericana; finalmente se valoró si la política exterior mexicana del 2018 al 2021 ha recuperado una vocación mediadora y no alineada a la norteamericana. Se concluye que la posición autónoma de la política exterior de México con respecto de la política exterior norteamericana se ha recuperado en la administración federal que se ha desempeñado entre los años 2018 a 2021.

These institutions are essential in shaping Kosovo's cultural and economic environment by providing employment possibilities for composers, performers, and industry specialists, contributing to the expansion of the music industry, and aiding in post-conflict recovery. In recent years, Kosovo's music sector has undergone substantial growth and development, driven by technological advancements, globalization, and changing consumer preferences. This progress contrasts with the underdeveloped state of the sector in the past, a result of economic, social, and political factors that this paper will further discuss. Kosovo's music scene is characterized by a wide variety of genres, ranging from traditional folk music to modern styles including pop, rock, hip-hop, and electronic dance music (EDM). This diversified range of styles and influences caters to a broad spectrum of preferences and attracts listeners both within Kosovo and globally. The art music genre of the scene garners significant attention due to its growing popularity, diverse activities, extensive outreach, cultural enrichment, cultural diplomacy efforts, and possible economic influence. This study seeks to analyze the economic influence of the art music sector in Kosovo within the wider music business. It will conduct a thorough and systematic assessment of the sector's contributions to the country's economy, society, and cultural identity.

Objective: The commercialization of knowledge and technology is an important part of the innovation process. Commercialization implies scaling up from prototype to mass production and gaining access to more resources. Methodology: This research, by nature, is exploratory and was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method based on grounded theory, aiming to identify the components of knowledge commercialization with an emphasis on the role of science and technology parks in Iran. In the qualitative part, purposive sampling was employed with 12 individuals, where this type of sampling involves selecting units of study based on the research goal rather than at random. In the quantitative part, stratified random sampling was used, and samples were selected for each of the groups mentioned above proportionally to their population relative to the entire statistical population, using the Krejcie and Morgan table, resulting in the use of 300 questionnaires and ultimately, 232 questionnaires were collected and analyzed. For data analysis, factor loadings, Cronbach's alpha tests, composite reliability, and average variance extracted (AVE), the PLS algorithm was utilized. Findings: The findings indicated that ten dimensions have been identified as components of knowledge commercialization based on the role of science and technology parks: educational-scientific dimension, financial-economic dimension, management dimension, process structure dimension, communicational dimension, legal dimension, socio-cultural dimension, support dimension, opportunities dimension, and threats dimension. Conclusion: The results show that the cultural and communicational dimensions are the most effective components, and the threats dimension is the least effective component of knowledge commercialization.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of managers and deputies who have perceived the phenomenon of organizational silence for the first time in real-life conditions. The research question was formed as "What experiences have individuals had in the process of organizational silence?" Methodology: The study population included managers and deputies of the six district offices, from which 40 individuals were selected. After interviewing 31 individuals, theoretical saturation was achieved in data collection at the Court of Accounts. Findings: The analyzed findings were categorized into four fundamental concepts: organizational factors, managerial factors, individual factors, and social factors. Conclusion: The results of this research indicated that the internal social environment, the personal domain of managers, structural, the external environment, and individual factors of employees could significantly influence the emergence of organizational silence. It is essential for managers to pay adequate attention to all aspects of the organization to foster organizational dynamism. The findings of this study reveal that organizational, individual, social, and managerial factors exist that contribute to employee silence. It was also determined that employee silence affects both the employees and the organization. Therefore, it is recommended that employee silence be identified and minimized at the initial stages.

Computation of complex-coefficient complex-solution differential equations is a problem that arises in various domains of science and engineering. This paper aims at applying the Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) approach along with the Method of Moments (MoM) in solving these problems with emphasis on procedures for higher differential equations. Several available methods, known in literatures, are available for solving the problem. The complexity of the available methods differs based on the accuracy of the solution. In this paper, the general method is first presented and then a simplified version of it is proposed to solve high order differential equations. Two examples are illustrated, a third and a fourth order complex-coefficients complex-solution differential equations, to show the simplicity of the proposed method. The proposed approach can be also introduced along with other methods to solve these special occurrences differential equations and other boundary value problems.

Progress in Clinical Research on Functional Dyspepsia in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Authors: Ji Bing , Dufang Ma
Published: April 2024

Functional dyspepsia (FD) refers to a group of clinical syndromes characterized by persistent or recurrent upper abdominal pain, upper abdominal distension, early satiety, belching, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and other upper abdominal discomfort symptoms. Organic lesions are excluded after examination. FD is a common functional gastrointestinal disease in clinical practice, with no characteristic clinical manifestations and often characterized by one or a group of symptoms. Its symptoms can also change during the course of the disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, although there is no name for functional dyspepsia, relevant discussions can still be found in ancient Chinese medicine books based on its etiology and clinical manifestations. This disease belongs to the categories of "stomach pain", "fullness of the stomach", "hiccup", "vomiting" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is located in the spleen and stomach and is closely related to liver and gallbladder dysfunction. In recent years, the traditional Chinese medicine community has conducted extensive clinical research on this disease. This article reviews the current status of clinical research on functional dyspepsia in traditional Chinese medicine.
