Authors: Lan Bo
Published: December 2024

This study employed descriptive research to explore the relationship among musical educational resource integration, teaching strategies, and innovative approaches in Chinese art colleges and universities. A total of 420 music teachers participated, most of whom were aged 26 to 40, held master's degrees, and had 21 to 40 years of experience in music education. The respondents recognized the value of integrating music education resources, particularly by combining technology with traditional methods. They emphasized the need for developing interactive, high-quality content and highlighted accessibility, quality assessment, effectiveness, and sustainability as key factors in enhancing the management of music education and overall teaching quality.
The study also underscored the importance of personalized instruction, diverse curriculum design, and varied learning experiences to foster sustainable learning environments that encourage creativity and personal growth. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in resource integration, teaching strategies, and innovation based on age, education, and experience. A positive correlation was found between the integration of educational resources, teaching strategies, and innovative methods, with better resource integration leading to more effective teaching strategies and broader innovation opportunities.
Based on these findings, the study proposed a teacher training program for music educators, aiming to enhance their skills in resource integration, teaching strategies, and innovation. The study highlights the need for continuous innovation and improvement in music education to meet the evolving demands of the field and nurture exceptional musical talent.

Authors: Al-Eser Marhamah , Suratno Suratno , Fikri Arif
Published: December 2024

This article is about the position of husband and wife regulated in Article 31 of the Indonesian Marriage Law (UUP). The provisions of the position of husband and wife are allegedly gendered and contradictory, because they place husbands and wives not on equal footing, Article 31 when read textually has implications for the subordination of women. The purpose of this article is to analyse the provisions of the position of husband and wife in the Indonesian Marriage Law from the perspective of Mubadalah. Mubadalah theory is used to analyse the equality of husband and wife in the household. The method used is qualitative, the type of this article is librabry research (library research), a normative approach with a focus on analysing Article 31, data sources are obtained from literature related to mubadalah. The results show that Article 31 of the UUP places the position of husband and wife differently, the husband as the head of the household while the wife is a housewife, this text can be gendered and seems masculine. In the perspective of mubadalah, Article 31 of the UUP is not in line with the values of justice and equality. Article 31 of the UUP needs a jucial review for the realisation of a maslahah family based on the principle of equality between husband and wife in the household.

Authors: Haini Fatimah Hasan , Yoki Pradikta Hervin
Published: December 2024

This article analyses women's justice rights in criminal law regulation and in relation to criminal punishment. This article is a comparative study between Indonesia and America (Ecuador and Argentina). The conception of human rights is echoed in the international world, but the status of women is still experiencing injustice in the application of law. The purpose of this article is to analyse the construction of Indonesian and American criminal law in providing justice rights for women. The approach used is qualitative, library research, data sources are taken from existing criminal law literature in Indonesia and America. The approach used is a normative study that explores the norms in criminal law in the two countries. The results show that Indonesian criminal law still leaves gender bias articles, the implication is that women suffer from vulnerability in the law. Criminal law in America is also the same, although America has passed the Second Chance Act, Fair Sentencing Act, and First Step Act women and girls are more likely to get legal sanctions than men, patriarchy and skin colour still seem to be high factors. Offences such as intimate partner violence, both physical and psychological

It is undeniable that threatened balances in the natural environment cause
entropy in many segments of life on the planet. Lack and pollution of water, excessive
exploitation and pollution of land, release or evaporation of chemical compounds into
the constituents of the environment, inadequate monitoring of the environment
influence the activation of pathogens in an indirect and immediate way. The method of
their origin may be known, but they now appear in a modified form, there are different
ways of transmitting them, their virulence has increased, and the human, plant and
animal populations are not ready to recognize or quickly find an adequate solution to
defend themselves.
Analytical multi-criteria and multi-dimensional approach to the recently ended
pandemic significantly determines cause-and-effect connections on efforts to act
preventively on future pandemics from the point of view of various sciences and
scientific disciplines, practical solutions, but also organizational segments and process
functions of management.
The aim of the work is to determine the main areas that are considered in the planning,
organization and implementation of activities on prevention, suppression of the spread
and fight against epidemic/pandemic diseases, and to partially or fully form a system
of dynamic modeling of the development of an epidemic/pandemic

The problem of realistic and quality display of hydro navigation data that
are necessary for realization of safe and secure sailing is a task that can be solved
using modern information system, that is, electronic charts. One of such solutions is
given exactly through the system of ECDIS. The mentioned system represents an
efficient, information platform intended for successful planning, organizing and
realization of navigation along river courses. It is about practical, efficient and useful
system that provides necessary transparency, that is, river traffic visualization with all
hydro navigation elements and the current situation on waterways. A working principle
of ECDIS is based on data consolidation from electronic nautical charts, positioning
device (GPS), thus contributing to more safe navigation and sailing in all hydro
meteorological conditions.

The Early Warning System is one of the most important elements of
Emergency Management. As part of it, emergency Number 112 is one of the tools that
ordinary people can use to disseminate warnings or information about natural
disasters or other hazards that can or have already hit some people, infrastructure, or
natural environment. Most European countries, from Portugal to Russia, already have
that short emergency number recognizable, but some countries such as Bosnia and
Herzegovina still do not have this number in function. This paper analyzed some
challenges that Bosnia and Herzegovina have in the process of establishing emergency
number 112 and some guidelines were given, based on experiences of countries that
have that system in use for some time.

A significant increase in investments within the society is accompanied by an
increase in construction works and the construction of capital infrastructure facilities.
The fact that the territory of the Republic of Serbia was the scene of various war
conflicts results in a large number of different examples of explosive remnants of war
within the ground. These explosive remnants appear during execution of infrastructure
works inside the ground at certain depths. The discovery of the aforementioned
explosive remnants of war disables safe work and makes the completion of the planned
works impossible. Organizing work on the discovery, excavation, removal and
destruction of explosive remnants of war is a procedure that requires compliance with
high levels of safety during work. The international standards defined by the United
Nations enable the establishment of the necessary legal regulations for the organization
of safe work on the removal of explosive remnants of war.

Published: December 2024

With the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, civil defense trainings around
the world are on the rise. The phrase civil defense suddenly came to the fore and is the
subject of daily reports by various media, geostrategic and security experts. With the
emergence of the fear of a new global armed conflict, numerous questions, forgotten in
the past 20 years, have been revived: What is civil defense? Who is responsible for it?
What are its goals and objectives? What happens to the civilian population and
material resources during a state of war or any other crisis? Among them, the most
important question arises: Does the Republic of Serbia even have civil defense? The
paper presents the current state of the civil defense system of the Republic of Serbia
with an emphasis on the problems it faces in its functioning and development, primarily
regarding the existence of an adequate organizational structure.

Published: December 2024

The relationship between essence and form and the terms derived from them
- essential and formal, is one of the key questions of philosophy and science, which
reflects on the practice of every human activity. In order to show this difference as
plastically as possible in reality, the expression - a suit does not make a man - is often
used. It does not take much wisdom and knowledge to understand that the suit does not
make the man, but apparently (formally) our perception of the person we see will start
from his suit.
This work is an attempt to outline the development path of military science in our
country, in the period of half a century, that is, since the first Symposium on Military
Science in 1970. The basis of the hypotheses in this work is as follows: The status of
military science in our country is more formal than essential. In confirming the
mentioned hypothesis, the required number of scientific works were used, as well as the
personal experiences of the author of the work, who in his professional military career
performed important duties related to military science.

Natural hazards related to water, e.g., hydro-meteorological events cannot
be prevented. These hazards generate a majority of disasters globally. Although there
is significant uncertainty regarding their occurrence in the future, the current body of
knowledge indicates changes in frequency that will very likely increase the disaster
risks. With no intention to discuss and elaborate on various threats to security and
ecosystem services approaches definitions, an overview of the ecosystem services’ role
in local, national, regional and global disaster risk reduction is presented. The role of
Eco- DRR in hydrometeorological disasters risk reduction and environmental security
is supported by the synthesis of the elaborated contemporary policies, conventions and
frameworks. As indicated for selected river basin, there is a rationale to increase Eco-
DRR implementation in the policies and legal framework to reinforce sectoral
cooperation and improve disaster risk management.

International rivers such as the Danube, Tisa and Sava rivers, which mostly
flow through the territory of the Republic of Serbia, as well as the Danube-Tisa-Danube
canal itself are crucial when it comes to development of agriculture, economy, tourism,
river transport, energy, water supply and other activities important to the prosperity of
each state. Numerous hydro-technical facilities built on and along the banks of these
rivers, such as bridges, locks, hydroelectric power plants, marinas, ports and other
buildings, aim to ensure the most efficient use of their hydro-navigation potential. And
that is exactly why hydrotechnical facilities are very sensitive, attractive and interesting
security facility whose protection from possible terrorist attacks requires the
application of special measures, but also the use of specially trained and equipped
units. One of such forces at the disposal of our state are the diving units of the River
Flotilla, which have counterdiversion (anti-sabotage) divers in their formation, one of
the purposes of which may be the protection of vital hydrotechnical facilities in the
internal waters of the Republic of Serbia.

Although the use of drones in logistics is already close to reality, some
obstacles remain unresolved. Drone technology per se is not enough, it needs to be
upgraded and designed in a way that will allow a kind of drone shift, which means that
it will allow the development of business models that were not possible without its
upgrade. In the paper, we present a system of automatic control, management and
control of drone traffic for flights over urban areas (UATM) managed in a digital twin.
The system is designed according to the principles of U-Space presented in the EU Blue
Book. The UATM system was designed as a digital twin of the real-life system pilot,
drone and space where the digital part of the twin takes the lead and first performs a
virtual mission and only later maps it into reality.

Published: December 2024

Sufficient water retention capacity contributes to hydro-meteorological risk
reduction at the river basin level in many ways. The function and significance of the
river basin water retention capacity for water management and DRR are manifold and
documented in the literature. Accordingly, in the last few decades the interest to
maintain or improve it is increasing, given the complexity of hydro-meteorological
hazards and resulting risks. This paper presents an overview of two similar concepts
based on improved ecosystem services: natural water retention measures and nature-
based solutions from water management and disaster risk reduction perspectives. The
similarities between the two concepts as hydrological ecosystem services are
underlined, and indisputable benefits of the two concepts coupling for selected
international river basin. Some open issues for better acceptance by practitioners are
mentioned.

Volunteer fire departments (VFD) provide additional operational support to
professional fire and rescue units and local emergency response headquarters when
needed. According to statistical data, volunteer fire Departments are involved in an
average of about twenty interventions per month at the request of professional fire and
rescue units. Each volunteer fire Department must form at least one volunteer fire unit,
categorized as units of category I, II, or III. The role of volunteer firefighting lies in
contributing to fire safety, reaffirming the general safety culture in society, and
fostering solidarity and empathy for others. This paper aims to encompass all
normative requirements, i.e., legal regulations in volunteer firefighting, and present the
basic equipment that VFDs should be equipped with. Additionally, an overview will be

Financing the defence system determines the size of the gross domestic
product, as a product of total socio-economic activity. This conclusion logically
concludes, having in mind the fact that the defence system is part of the social system
and that it forms a segment of the socio-economic structure, and hence the source of
its financing must be stimulated from the source of financing the overall social
reproduction. The aim of the paper is to determine the aspects of budgetary funds
treatment in the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces through systematic
analysis of the financing of the Ministry of Defence and the Army of Serbia, as well as
the realized revenues from the activities of the defence system, as well as the degree of
economy, efficiency and effectiveness of disposal of funds. In an integral sense, the
determination of the needs relation and the ability to finance tasks and activities that
are being put before the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces is also
expressed through the economic aspect of the research. By identifying the treatment of
financial resources in the Ministry of Defence and the Army of Serbia and by examining
the impact on the sustainability of financing of the Ministry of Defence and the Army
of Serbia through budget instruments, the possible economically feasible conditions for
realization of certain activities and activities and models for improving defence
financing have been demonstrated. On the basis of an analysis of the current state of
financing of the expenses of the defence system of the Republic of Serbia, the paper
highlights the previous theoretical knowledge and experience of the budget as an
instrument for financing defence expenditures, defining the advantages and
disadvantages that existed and existing, but also highlighting the improvements that arose by introducing a program budget in the Ministry of Defence. By implementing
new theoretical knowledge on innovative allocative mechanisms for financing the
defence system and improving the efficiency of the budget in practice, much more
efficient and effective financing of defence expenditures would be achieved. A
purposeful distribution of limited financial resources and the transparency of using
available resources for the purpose of sustainability of the required level of readiness
and capabilities of the entities of the defence system would result in a high degree of
operationality and significant progress in the functioning of the Ministry of Defence.
For the purpose of more systematic approach to defence financing issues, a comparison
of the Serbian defence system with the defence systems of the surrounding countries
was performed.

Mechanized battalions are the main maneuver force of the Serbian Armed
Forces and the backbone of defense operations, due to their great firepower, human
and technical potential, and maneuverability.
Combat actions, despite knowing the principles of how the units operate, are almost
always sudden and are most often conducted in a blurry combat situation. A complex
operation, such as a defensive one, can lead to an undesired effect, which is that the
unit finds itself in the encirclement and is forced to make a break through, in order to
complete the task and preserve the lives of its personnel.

NATO was formed in 1949 by two American and 10 European countries, as
a barrier to the spread of the USSR and communism. NATO played its role during the
Cold War, because there was no direct conflict with the USSR and the Warsaw Pact.
After the Cold War, when the USSR collapsed and the Warsaw Pact was dissolved,
NATO survived and got completely new roles: 1) De iure, as a regional agreement to
establish peace and security in the world and 2) De facto, as a lever of US power in an
attempt to establish new world - unipolar order. NATO has played "both roles" in
numerous US military interventions around the world. In the second half of this century,
Russia is returning to the world stage, and China's influence is growing more and more.
According to most analysts, a multipolar world order is being created, which the US is
resisting, constantly expanding and strengthening NATO. Russia's aggression against
Ukraine in 2022 has expanded into a conflict between Russia and the collective West.
NATO is at a crossroads: survive, not survive or transform.
This paper aims to analyze the position of NATO in contemporary international
relations and to predict its future role in them. The research focus is on the NATO
Declaration from the summit marking the 75th anniversary of its existence -
Washington, July 2024.

Artificial intelligence in the present, especially in the future, is designed to
improve people's quality of life and enable them to perform everyday tasks more
efficiently. It will help in the business of many, including those whose activity requires
collecting, processing, analyzing and sharing a large amount of information in a really
short time. The intelligence-security and defense sector is undoubtedly becoming a
consumer of the potential of modern information and communication technologies and
models. In this regard, the authors point out that the introduction of artificial
intelligence will lead to certain changes in the organizational/functional structure of
the intelligence-security and defense sector. Additional and continuous education of
intelligence and military personnel, transformation of intelligence capabilities in all
phases of the intelligence cycle, the need for accelerated flow and processing of
information are just some of the segments that will undergo transformation. The goal
of this work is to encourage a more versatile study of the impact of artificial intelligence
on the intelligence-security and defense sector with all possible dilemmas and

The state's security system includes a set of primary and secondary,
permanent and temporary, internal and external, short-term and long-term goals.
Goals are interrelated and have their place in the hierarchy of priorities. Each system
is part of a larger system, and each country forms several large systems, subsystems
and microsystems. The security system of the Republic of Serbia is regulated by law
and the National Security Strategy as a set of functionally interconnected state bodies
that are responsible for the security of the Republic of Serbia and its citizens. The
national security system consists of subject-wise and hierarchically different contents.
Control is an important aspect of the security system because it measures, evaluates
and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the work of state authorities
responsible for the security of the Republic of Serbia and its citizens. The paper
analyzes the normative-legal framework of the security system of the Republic of
Serbia, as well as the control of the security system, with an emphasis on internal and
external control.

Published: December 2024

The concept of sustainable development envisions a world in which there is
economic progress, increased well-being and better environmental protection. The
truth of the concept is the belief that social goals, economic and environmental
objectives should be complementary and independent throughout the development
process. Within the paper, the author will determine the activities of the European
Union in building sustainable development – a new approach in policy-making that
enables mutual strengthening of the economic, social and environmental policies of the
EU. In the final part, the author gives some concluding observations. Sustainable
development cannot be achieved without a "sustainable" state. A basic prerequisite for
making in a country and society in the direction of sustainable development is the
understanding and acceptance of the concept and principles of sustainable
development: Creating sustainable communities capable of managing and using
resources; Full commitment to membership in the European Union at the national
level; To develop awareness, understanding and commitment to Sustainable
development; To promote the natural and cultural heritage. In preparing the content
of the paper, the author will apply the general scientific methods: the descriptive
method, the normative method, the comparative method and the content analysis
method as a special scientific method.

Why did energy and the narrative surrounding energy security take on almost
manic dimensions in everyday life, so much so that this segment has become one of the
most important vectors of the politics of every state and its ,,rulers”?
This burning problem of today is the consequence, on the one hand, of the depletion of
proven reserves of natural energy sources, and on the other hand, of the constant
increase in the consumption of fuel and various types of energy in all segments of
society. The energy picture of the modern world has noticeably become more
complicated, both economically and politically. New powerful players with their own
ambitions and long-term strategies have appeared in the energy markets. The fragile
balance of power and interests in relations between energy exporting and importing

For the purposes of preparing the national Disaster Risk Assessment, risk
assessments are performed for twelve hazards. One of the hazards contained in the
document is flood. For the flood hazard, it is necessary to collect data related to
hydrography, historical floods, assumed areas of floods in the future, areas of potential
flood risk assessment and others. Also, it is necessary to identify protected values in
areas of potential flood risk assessment areas. In the process of flood risk management,
data collection is performed in order to make a preliminary assessment of flood risks
and flood hazard and flood risk maps. The aim of this paper is to propose a model for
integrating data from the flood risk management into the disaster risk assessment, in
order to increase the efficiency of flood prevention. The paper analyzes the type of data
collected for the purpose of developing a documentation basis for flood risk
management, which can be integrated into the national Disaster Risk Assessment in
case of flood.

Emergency management requires teamwork within the structures that
manage responses to them. In order to achieve that teamwork, it takes a lot of time,
joint work, and good mutual knowledge of staff members. This implies the need for joint
training in procedures, activities, exchange of information, etc. Preparations for
exercises often take a lot of time, and the implementation itself is long and complex. In
addition, there are other reasons for not implementing exercises and training, and most
often it is money, which is lacking for this type of activity at the level of local self-
government units. All this leads to the fact that local self-government units avoid
carrying out exercises of protection and rescue forces. This work should show that
"table top" exercises are an ideal tool for training staff for emergency situations at the
level of local self-government units and that they enable team building and staff
cohesion, which is of great importance in emergency situations. Moreover, only
goodwill is needed to prepare, organize and implement this type of exercise.

Business continuity assurance is a concept that is oriented towards the
adaptability of the organization in order to prepare to respond to disturbances that may
occur in the environment, especially extreme disturbances - disasters, which can have
a very large impact on the organization's operations, on its ability to deliver products
and provide services. The main goal is to mitigate the consequences of these
disturbances, to ensure the recovery of the organization and the continuation of its
work even after these events. This concept is the subject of particular standards of the
ISO/IEC 22300 series. In the implementation of the concept, information security is of
particular importance, considering that nowadays the performance of the activities of
organizations is closely related to information technologies. Information security is the
subject of particular standards from ISO/IEC 27000 series, which are oriented towards
preserving the basic properties of information - confidentiality, integrity and
availability. This paper presents practical experiences in connecting these standards
within the integrated management system in the organization.
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITIZENS IN EMERGENCIES
Authors:   Human Resources Sector Ministry of defence, Beograd, Republic of Serbia, Eric Slađana
Published: December 2024

The regulation of the rights and obligations of citizens towards the system of
defense and protection of national security is tied to the beginning of the creation of a
modern state. Nevertheless, forms of organizing society to defend against various types
of plagues are present in the early stages of development of human civilization.
Disasters of hydrological, meteorological, geological or biological origin, as well as
accidents caused by human factors are inevitable companions of human development.
Therefore, acquiring and developing awareness of the importance of providing self-
help and helping others in crisis situations, then acquiring knowledge and skills
applicable in disasters, but also adequate action in emergencies become an imperative
of modern society. The preparation of the population for the defense of the country,
although primarily focused on responding to state of emergency and war, does not
neglect the training of citizens to act in emergencies.

Contemporary challenges, risks and threats to the security of the Republic of
Serbia are defined in strategic documents. Challenges, risks and threats are a
manifestation of danger. The security-intelligence system of the Republic of Serbia is
intended to protect national security from the perpetrators of illegal activities aimed at
undermining or destroying the social order established by the Constitution. The aim of
the paper is to determine the danger of the security-intelligence system of the Republic
of Serbia from the point of view of the risk level. The list of dangers has been made
based on the results of the research. Due to the length of the paper, only a brief
overview of the methodology and results of the research is given.

Resource camouflage is one task that needs to be continuously planned and
fulfilled. It is obtained in order to lower own losses, protection of secrecy of the combat
forces deployment, hiding activities, real intentions, actions and other planned
activities of Army’s units, in order to lower the effect of enemies actions and increasing
of own forces protection capabilities.
Camouflage tasks are obtained by applying different means and technics, as well as
technologies. Development of modern accomplishments in diverse science branches
has found its application in forces protection. Positive – negative experiences from
combat operations across the world during closer history considerably can be used as
source of knowledge. Aside of current camouflage patterns on scene there are different
materials enriched with new types of paints and coatings which reduce reflection
during reconnaissance by technical appliances. With goal to diverse to false
conclusions, new technically-technology solutions are applied by which the armored
vehicles are camouflaged. The achieved effect is reflected in a completely different
image on the screen of the means of observation in relation to what is being observed.
At the same time with the development and application of new solutions, the analysis
of the omissions in camouflaging is carried out, which leads to new knowledge, in the
conditions of the application of new technical achievements in various combat utilities
and systems. Application of new technical achievements imposed new tactical solutions
that undoubtedly require new ways of applying camouflage measures.

Authors: Bukhari Shizza , Kalsoom Saima , Mehmood Laiba Tariq
Published: December 2024

Aim of Study: This study analyzes the relationship between burnout and work motivation with the mediating role of emotional regulation among corporate sector employees.
Research Methodology: Around a sample (N= 350) of corporate sector employees participated in the study among which there were males (n= 230) and females (n=120). The three measures used in this current study are Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS), Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT), and Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ).
Results: The result findings show that there is a significant positive relationship between work motivation and emotional regulation (cognitive reappraisal). Moreover, the findings depicted that there is a significant negative relationship between work motivation and emotional regulation (expressive suppression). The findings depicted that there is a non-significant negative relationship between burnout and emotional regulation (cognitive reappraisal) and a positive relationship between burnout and emotional regulation (expressive suppression). Furthermore, the findings depicted that there is a significant negative relationship between Work Motivation and Burnout.
However, while exploring the mediational role of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, it was observed that cognitive reappraisal emerged as a more impactful mediator for the relationship between work motivation and burnout as compared to expressive suppression. 
Conclusion: This study has implications for the corporate sector to become more aware of work motivation, burnout, and emotional regulation so they can cater to the issue by filling the void.
