Authors: Pehlić Izet
Published: April 2021

The role of school as an educational factor is to empower a young person in the field of social competences in order to enhance the sensitivity for the development of social closeness among different social groups.
This research endeavor aims to further clarify the social distance among Bosnian- Herzegovinian high school students. The research sample consisted of 310 high school students (General High School in Zenica, Pale High School Center, Fr. Grga Martić High School in Mostar). The classes were randomly selected. In this study, the General Socio-Demographic Questionnaire and the Social Distance Scale were used.
The findings could serve as a starting point for the creation of the inter-ethnic and inter-religious dialogue programs. They can also be an incentive for planning and programming a stronger presence of intercultural education and the education for democracy and peace in school curriculum.
NOVEL ZAYNAB: BETWEEN ARAB TRADITIONALISM AND EUROPEAN ROMANTICISM
Authors: Kapetanović Azra
Published: April 2021

Novel Zaynab by Egyptian author Muḥammad Ḥusayn Haykal has become a subject of interest for Arab and Western European scholars in the field of literature. This novel is interesting and important in many aspects, one of them being a skillful blend of traditional Arab literary heritage and European Romanticism elements Haykal presented in this novel. Thus, individuality as one of the most important elements will be emphasized, which in a broader context marks the awakening of national consciousness and the formation of a new image of the Arab society.
This work highlights the most significant stances of Arab and Western critics of this novel, points out its literary and artistic elements with a particular emphasis on the elements of ancient classical Arab literature and European Romanticism, comparing them to the classical literary works of the two civilizations.
GIFTEDNESS AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AS DETERMINANTS OF COMPETENCE SELF-PERCEPTION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Hasanagić Anela , Zukić Asmir , Bulajić Nina
Published: April 2021

Conducting this research, we wanted to explore the competence self-perception in gifted elementary school students and to compare different aspects of gifted and non-gifted children’s self-perception. In addition to this, we investigated gender differences as well as the correlation between self-perception and academic achievement.
The research sample comprised 62 participant, 31 gifted and 31 non-gifted children aged 10 to 15. A matched participant design was used and the controlling variables were: academic achievement in the current and previous grades, gender and a socio-economic status. All the participants were tested by two instruments: The Socio-Demographic instrument and the Self-Perception Profile for Children developed by Susan Harter (1985), which measures six aspects of self-perception (competencies): school competence, social competence, sports competence, physical competence, behavioral competence and general self-perception.
The results showed that the highest level of students’ competence was observed for the school competence aspect, then behavioral one, followed by general self- concept, while a lower level of physical and sports competence was reached.
Furthermore, there is a statistically significant correlation between most of the personal competence sub-scales, except between sports competence on the one hand, and school competence and behavioral competence, on the other hand. This implies that competence self- perception is the construct comprised of different interrelated aspects and if one shows a tendency for positive self-perception in one aspect; most probably that person will have positive self- perception in another as well.
No statistically significant differences were found between the gifted and the non-gifted children, which means that giftedness is not an important factor of self-perception. Also, gender differences were significant only among the gifted children where the boys perceived themselves as more competent in the social and physical aspects.
RELIGIOSITY AND BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS IN YOUNG ADULTS
Authors: Ćerim Eldar , Vejo Edina , Begagić Elma
Published: April 2021

This paper is the adapted and extended version of the bachelor’s work of our student Eldar Ćerim supervised by professor Edina Vejo and assistant professor Elma Begagić. The paper presents the results of several research studies (Bazrafshan, Jahangir & Shokrpour, 2017; Cox, 2011; Pirner, 2017; Williams & Lindsey, 2005) showing the nature of the existence of religiosity as both a protective and a risk factor precipitating the emergence of behavioral disorders. A comparative advantage of the paper lies in the fact that constructing a research equidistance in observing the phenomenon of religiosity, it presents distinct determinants of religiosity in terms of its influence on disorders in the behavior of young adults as both a protective as well as a risk factor.
INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION FROM A SWEDISH PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Almen Edgar
Published: April 2021

I want to make a contribution to understanding the relation between interreligious dialogue and Religious Education based on my own experience of teaching non-confessional Religious Education in Swedish schools, training teachers in Swedish universities for such Religious Education and sharing in Sweden dialogues, rejoicing and disappointment with friends of religious background other than my own, i.e. Bosnian Muslims. I show how our way of teaching, at least in Sweden, often diminishes the readiness for and interest in true dialogue among our students. One reason is that information about religions and religious traditions tends to “make” religions static and non-relational, not showing that lived religion is a life process during which you change and are expected to mature. Another reason is based on the effects of hegemonic discourses within which students interpret our teaching. I discuss which of them are present in Swedish classrooms nowadays, how they determine the identity-discourse of second generation immigrants, and what we can do to help students to understand how these discourses work and to widen them.
Alone in Song (The Poetry of Ada Salas)
Authors: Morante José Luis
Published: April 2021

A glance at Ada Salas’ poetry (Cáceres, 1965). Her literary personality revitalizes an aesthetics conceived as research and knowledge that veils the autobiographical narrative and justifies the essential thrust of language and its transcendent dimension. The journey assumes from the beginning of a personal approach, a unique proposition without generational debts and it has a unitary and continuous structure that reflects on the identity and light observation of the environment.
Creative Destruction Theory Space as the Ultimate End for post-COVID-19 Recovery in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Jackson Emerson Abraham
Published: April 2021

The emergence of COVID-19 has made it ever more onerous for the world economy to rethink the way things are done and to be done. The need and almost compulsory way of services being catered for will never have been made so practically obvious without the influence of a pandemic like COVID-19. The world at some point in time was almost brought to a standstill, with services pertaining to supply-chain deliverables, education / professional development and many more almost brought to a halt. This paper has the platform for critically assessing the pathway SSA economies (SSA) should follow, notably creativity in new technologies, while adopting a stance on ISI approach in order to reduce its reliance on the importation of essential commodities, which seem to have been a worrying concern throughout the crisis of COVID-19. Suggestions for SSA economies to embrace the notion of creative destruction is the focal point in this paper for the realization of growth and development, while at the same time harnessing the power of human integrity to champion competitive innovation.

Published: April 2021

A segurança pública foi estabelecida pela Constituição de 1988 enquanto um direito fundamental de segunda dimensão e, portanto, um dever do Estado. Para reforçar a concretização dessa garantia, os estados membros contam com o auxílio dos policiais penais que, dentre outras atribuições, devem zelar pela garantia da pacificação social no âmbito das unidades prisionais. Atualmente, conforme dados do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, dispõe de uma tropa que recebe treinamento para lidar com as diversas situações. Essa pesquisa assume como problemática qual a viabilidade da utilização das armas longas em unidades prisionais no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Assim, parte da hipótese que tais equipamentos devem receber uma atenção específica durante o seu manuseio e, principalmente, a ponderação quando da sua utilização. Esse estudo é caracterizado como uma pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória do tipo qualitativa a partir da utilização do método dedutivo.  É fundamental que a relação do policial penal com o armamento seja estudada considerando o viés científico.
Extensive vertebrate tracksite from the Upper Red Formation (middle–late Miocene), west Zanjan, northwestern Iran
Authors: Abbassi Nasrollah , Khoshyar Masoumeh , Lucas Spencer G. , Esmaeili Farid
Published: April 2021

Abstract. An extensive vertebrate tracksite from the middle–late
Miocene Upper Red Formation in western Zanjan Province, northwestern Iran,
provides new records of paleobiogeographical significance. These are records
of common footprints of felids referred to as Felipeda lynxi Panin and Avram, canids
referred to as Canipeda longigriffa Panin and Avram and less common bird footprints referred to as
Iranipeda abeli Lambrecht. The Canipeda record establishes the late Miocene presence of canids on
the Iranian Plateau as part of the Eurasia-wide “Eucyon event”. The
Felipeda footprints are consistent with body fossil and footprint records elsewhere
in Eurasia that indicate a widespread distribution of felids by late Miocene
time. An unusual trace associated with the footprints is a large, shallow
grazing or locomotion trace similar to Megaplanolites in some features but distinctive in
various features and its occurrence in nonmarine facies, and it will be the
subject of further study.
Technical Note: Noble gas extraction procedure and performance of the Cologne Helix MC Plus multi-collector noble gas mass spectrometer for cosmogenic neon isotope analysis
Authors: Ritter Benedikt , Vogt Andreas , Dunai Tibor J.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. We established a new laboratory for noble gas mass spectrometry that is dedicated for the development and application to cosmogenic nuclides at the University of Cologne (Germany). At the core of the laboratory are a state-of-the-art high mass resolution multicollector Helix MCPlus (Thermo-Fisher) noble gas mass spectrometer and a novel custom-designed automated extraction line. The Mass-spectrometer is equipped with five combined Faraday Multiplier collectors, with 1012 Ω and 1013 Ω pre-amplifiers for faraday collectors. We describe the extraction line and the automized operation procedure for cosmogenic neon and the current performance of the experimental setup. Performance tests were conducted using gas of atmospheric isotopic composition (our primary standard gas); as well as CREU-1 intercomparison material, containing a mixture of neon of atmospheric and cosmogenic composition. We use the results from repeated analysis of CREU-1 to assess the performance of the current experimental setup at Cologne. The precision in determining the abundance of cosmogenic 21Ne is equal or better than those reported for other laboratories. The absolute value we obtain for the concentration of cosmogenic 21Ne in CREU is indistinguishable from the published value.
Are researchers following best storage practices for measuring soil biochemical properties?
Authors: Rhymes Jennifer M. , Cordero Irene , Chomel Mathilde , Lavallee Jocelyn M. , Straathof Angela L. , Ashworth Deborah , Langridge Holly , Semchenko Marina , de Vries Franciska T. , Johnson David , Bardgett Richard D.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. It is widely accepted that the measurement of organic and inorganic forms of
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soils should be performed on fresh extracts
taken from fresh soil samples. However, this is often not possible, and it
is common practice to store samples (soils and/or extracts), despite a lack
of guidance on best practice. We utilised a case study on a temperate
grassland soil taken from different depths to demonstrate how differences in
soil and/or soil extract storage temperature (4 or −20 ∘C) and duration can influence sample integrity for the
quantification of soil-dissolved organic C and N (DOC and DON), extractable
inorganic nitrogen (NH4+ and NO3-) and microbial
biomass C and N (MBC and MBN). The appropriateness of different storage
treatments varied between topsoils and subsoils, highlighting the need to
consider appropriate storage methods based on soil depth and soil
properties. In general, we found that storing soils and extracts by freezing
at −20 ∘C was least effective at maintaining measured values of
fresh material, whilst refrigerating (4 ∘C) soils for less than a
week for DOC and DON and up to a year for MBC and MBN and refrigerating soil extracts
for less than a week for NH4+ and NO3- did not jeopardise
sample integrity. We discuss and provide the appropriate tools to ensure
researchers consider best storage practice methods when designing and
organising ecological research involving assessments of soil properties
related to C and N cycling. We encourage researchers to use standardised
methods where possible and to report their storage treatment (i.e. temperature, duration) when publishing findings on aspects of soil and
ecosystem functioning. In the absence of published storage recommendations
for a given soil type, we encourage researchers to conduct a pilot study and
publish their findings.

THE STAGES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY OF ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS IN THE EASTERN CIS-CAUCASUS (11TH-20TH CC.) (PART 1)

The aim of the article is to present the motives and implementation stages of ethnic
cleansing and genocidal policy perpetrated towards the indigenous Armenian population during the 11th-20th centuries in the Eastern Cis-Caucasus – in the territory stretching from the Kur Valley to the Apsheron Peninsula, on the basis of various primary sources (archival documents, statistical materials, periodical press, theme related literature).
The work is written by a combined examination of facts, applying the principles of historical investigation and historical-comparative analysis. The level of reliability and validity of the sources through their comprehensive study have been verified.
Through the combination of facts the following phases of the history of the main issue are presented: the policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide of Armenians in the Eastern Cis-Caucasus were still implemented in the 11th-18th centuries when the region regularly appeared under the invasions and dominion of various conquering nomadic tribes (Turk-Seljuks, Mongol-Tatars, Tamerlane, nomadic Turkmen tribes of Kara-Koyunlu and Ak-Koyunlu, Kizilbash invasions followed by the Turkish-Persian wars, Sunni Lezgins, invasions of Nader Shah and Agha Mohammad Khan). As a result, some part of the Armenian population was deported and left native lands or forcedly accepted the Muslim religion of the conquerers. The next phase of ethnic cleansing and atrocities was the period of the Armenian-Tatar clashes (1905-1906). Later, the policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide was implemented at state level already during the Musavat
regime of the artificial “Azerbaijan” formation (1918-1920), and finally during the Soviet regime (1920-1990).
The article substantiates the fact that the indigenous Armenian population of the region
was subjected to ethnic cleansing and genocide in its cradle, just as the Young Turks carried out the extermination of the Western Armenians in 1915-1916 in Western Armenia. Therefore, this policy should be described as a continuation and an integral part of the Genocide of Armenians, as the Armenian Genocide with its geographical coverage (from Cilicia to Baku), was a consequence of the implementation of a comprehensive pan-Turkic program.
There are numerous references to the issue in the historical literature, though the
comprehensive study of ethnic cleansing and genocidal policies of Armenians in the Eastern CisCaucasus – in the territory stretching from the Kur Valley to the Apsheron Peninsula, has not been the subject of a separate study.

The article presents the results of studies to determine the timing of the onset of immunity in sheep vaccinated with the associated vaccine against peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and sheep pox (SP). The timing of the onset of immunity in vaccinated animals against PPR and SP was evaluated by serum neutralization test (SNT) and by testing the withstood of vaccinated sheep to challenge infection with virulent strain "A" of SP virus. Protective tiers of virus neutralizing antibodies (VNA) to the PPRV virus were formed on 14 days with an average value of 2.8 log2 and reached up to 4.7 log2 on 21 days after vaccination, while immunity against the OO virus was formed on 7 days after vaccination with an average VNA titer of 1.8 log2, which increased to 4.3 log2 on 21 days after vaccination. All immunized sheep’s showed resistance to the virulent SP virus until the end of the experiment. Therefore, the experimental data obtained by us indicate a high degree of protection of animals immunized with the associated vaccine against PPR and SP, starting from day 7 from the SP virus and from day 14 from the PPR virus. Key words: combined vaccine, peste des petits ruminants, sheep pox, immunity.

Published: April 2021

For the purpose of study the relationship between the characteristics of the root system, activity and saline pressure of Aksora (Suaeda salsa Pall.) various concentrations of NaCl (0, 200, 400 and 600 mmol/L) were prepared. The effect of salt concentration on the biomass of Aksora (Suaeda salsa Pall.) root and the activity of the root system was studied. The results showed that as the NaCl concentration increased, the dry and fresh weight of the Aksora (Suaeda salsa Pall.) roots, the total length and surface area of the root increased and then gradually decreased. The highest values of dry weight, fresh weight and total length of the vascular system were observed at a concentration of 200 mmol / L NaCl, while at a concentration of 600 mmol/L NaCl, the dry weight, wet weight and total root length, and surface area signiﬁ cantly decreased. These results indicate that reﬁ nement of Aksora with higher concentrations of NaCl salt can increase the total length and absorption area of roots, thereby promoting root growth and adaptability to saline pressure. However, it has been found that with extrmely high salt concentrations inhibit root growth by reducing the total root length and absorption area. Key words: Aksora, vascular activity, NaCl, absorption zone.

Setiap lembaga pendidikan khususnya Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan pada umumnya memiliki suatu program pendidikan, yaitu pemberian beasiswa kepada siswa yang berprestasi, maupun kepada siswa yang tidak mampu. Permasalahannya yang sering muncul yaitu kurang tepatnya penyaluran beasiswa terhadap siswa, misalnya siswa yang tidak berhak mendapatkan beasiswa namun mendapatkan beasiswa, dan sebaliknya siswa yang seharusnya mendapatkan beasiswa tetapi tidak mendapat beasiswa, baik itu beasiswa prestasi ataupun beasiswa tidak mampu. Masalah seperti itu muncul dikarenakan kurang telitinya para penyeleksi beasiswa dalam melakukan seleksi penerimaan beasiswa, hal ini disebabkan pihak penyeleksi beasiswa itu sendiri para guru yang ada di SMK RAUDLATUL ULUUM Aek Nabara yang pekerjaannya mengajar para siswa, sehingga kurangnya waktu yang di butuhkan untuk melakukan penyeleksian penerimaan beasiswa. Dari 848 siswa dari 23 ruangan yang ada di SMK RAUDLATUL ULUUM Aek Nabara hanya 115 siswa dan setiap ruangan hanya 15 siswa saja yang akan mendapatkan beasiswa. kesalahan yang disebabkan oleh manusia dapat diminimalisir.

An exploration of trends in and predictors of students’ perception of health policy education at a Jesuit medical school
Authors: Ditrio Lauren , Weissinger Peggy , Plankey Michael
Published: April 2021

Background: Studies have shown an increase in percent of students reporting “adequate” health policy education in medical schools over the past decade. This study identifies which student characteristics—such as race/ethnicity, intended specialty, and plans to work with underserved populations—are associated with reporting “appropriate” vs “inadequate” health policy education at a Jesuit medical institution in the US.

Methods: Responses from the AAMC Graduation Questionnaire (GQ) for years 2010-2013 to an outcome question evaluating time spent on health policy curriculum were extracted. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to test which student sociodemographic and clinical career training choices impacted satisfaction of health policy education.

Results: The percent of respondents reporting inadequate time spent on health policy curricula decreased significantly between 2010 and 2013. Students who identified their race/ethnicity as Under-Represented in Medicine were significantly less likely to report appropriate health policy education (OR = 0.419, CI = 0.191-0.919, p=0.03). Other characteristics including male gender, enrollment in a combined degree program, intention to work as university faculty, and intention to serve in an underserved area were also negatively associated with reporting appropriate education; however, these differences were not statistically significant. Furthermore, students in 2013 were significantly more likely to report adequate education compared with those in 2010 (OR = 1.973, CI 1.001-3.891, p = 0.0497).

Conclusions: While an increasing majority of students report appropriate exposure to health policy education, medical students who are planning to work with underserved populations may still benefit from additional elective education on health policy.
Beginning to Understand the Cost-effectiveness of Andexxa

Introduction: Tens of thousands of patients die of major life-threatening bleeds every year while taking direct factor Xa inhibitors, a class of anticoagulant medications that until now had no reversal agent. In May 2018, the US Food and Drug Administration approved andexanet alfa (Andexxa), the first known reversal agent for a subset of direct factor Xa inhibitors. It has been reported to substantially reduce mortality rates for patients who experience a major bleed while taking rivaroxaban or apixaban. Andexxa is costly, however, ranging between US $24,750 and $49,500 for treatment.

Methods: To explore the cost-effectiveness of Andexxa, a Markov model was generated using existing Andexxa trial data and related literature. Multiple 1-way and 2-way sensitivity analyses were also constructed to delineate the impact Andexxa would need to have on mortality rates and health-related quality of life to meet the willingness-to-pay thresholds ranging between $50,000 and $150,000. The model included a hypothetical cohort of patients aged 65 years at an increased risk of stroke due to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and with no contraindication to anticoagulation.

Results: The Markov model showed that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of Andexxa over the standard of care is $211,056 for an intracranial hemorrhage and $40,718 for a gastrointestinal bleed. Sensitivity analyses further indicated that while Andexxa may be cost-effective to treat gastrointestinal bleeds, medication trial data will likely need to show significant impact on a patient’s quality of life and relative risk of death following an intracranial bleed to be cost-effective.

Discussion: Although the application of these findings is restricted due to limited trial data, beginning to understand the cost-effectiveness of Andexxa provides policymakers important insight into the economic value of the intervention.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). One trigger factor that has the potential to influence blood sugar levels is stress. Stress triggers the body's biochemical reactions through neural and neuroendocrine. Stress is also one of the factors that influence sleep. Irregular sleep patterns become one of the triggers for changes in blood sugar levels. Good quality sleep can help stabilize blood sugar levels. The purpose of this study: to determine the relationship between the stress level of the cross sect approach and the quality of sleep with the blood sugar levels of diabetes mellitus clients in Palembang Muhammadiyah Hospital. Research Methods: This uses an analytical descriptive design that is carried outwith a cross sectional approach. Study sample: diabetes mellitus clients, sampling techniques by accidental sampling, the number of respondents was 65 diabetes mellitus clients. The instrument in this study used a questionnaire. The statistical test that will be used is Chi Square. The results showed that most respondents had moderate stress levels of 69.2%, had poor sleep quality of 55.4% and with high blood sugar levels 63.1%, there was a relationship between stress levels and blood sugar levels with a p-value of 0.047, there is a relationship between sleep quality with blood sugar levels with a p-value of 0.05.

The insecticidal potential of the Saharan plant Cotula cinerea, was evaluated on two insect species namely Aphis fabae and Tribolium castaneum by topical application (contact toxicity) and repellency test. A crude ethanolic extract of aerial part of the plant was prepared and tested in the laboratory on adults of both species. For contact toxicity, five doses were tested on each of the two species 1.56, 3.12, 6.25, 12.5 and 25 mg/ml for A. fabae and 25, 50, 250, 350 and 500 µg/insect for T. castaneum. The repellency of the extract was studied at the dose 500 μg/insect for T. castaneum and 25 µg/ml for A. fabae. Results showed that the repellency of the extract increased with exposure time and the highest rates were observed after 4 h of exposure (72.33 ± 22% for T. castaneum and 87 ± 3.6% for A. fabae). For insecticidal activity, at the highest doses (25 mg/ml and 500 µg/ml), 100% mortality is obtained 72 h after treatment for A. fabae and after 48 h for T. castaneum. The extract of this plant was found to be more toxic against T. castaneum adults. LD50 calculated 24 h after treatment for the two species is estimated at 1.7 mg/ml for A. fabae and at 30.3 µg/insect for T. castaneum. The extract of this plant inhibited the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in both insect species. This result suggests that this plant has a neurotoxic effect on A. fabae and T. castaneum. The results of phytochemical study showed that the plant is mainly rich in flavonoids, gallic tannins, alkaloids, saponosides and glucosides. The insecticidal effect obtained in this study could be due to the synergetic action of all constituents of the extract. Results suggest the possibility of using the extracts of this plant in integrated pest management to replace the chemical insecticides.
