Ilustrados españoles y la ciencia europea: Pedro María González Gutiérrez y su Tratado de las enfermedades de la gente del mar
Authors: Gutiérrez Cuadrado Juan , Frías Núñez Marcelo
Published: January 2023

En este trabajo intentamos seguir las huellas que deja PedroMaría González Gutiérrez en su obra principal, Tratado de las enfermedadesde la gente de mar (1805), de su aprendizaje en el Colegio de Cirugía deCádiz y su pertenencia a la Real Armada como cirujano. Esto nos permitepercibir la idiosincrasia del nuevo tipo de científico que apareció en Españaen el siglo XVIII, que no se ha formado en universidades o en centrosreligiosos tradicionales, colegios o monasterios, sino en las nuevasinstituciones que los monarcas crearon para cultivar la ciencia a su serviciodirecto. De este modo, se acercó la ciencia española a la europea, un hechoque nos muestra que la institucionalización de una ciencia es una condiciónnecesaria para que esté firmemente arraigada en una Sociedad.Subrayamos, por ello, la dependencia de las obras de González Gutiérrezde su entorno profesional e institucional, ahora cuando las autoridadespúblicas españolas parecen creer que la inversión en el mantenimientode las instituciones científicas es un derroche de dinero que no esrentable o que la ciencia se nutre de investigadores geniales aislados queaparecen cuando menos se espera en los lugares más insospechados.Como revela el texto de González Gutiérrez, sin el contacto con suscolegas, sin los estudios y la bibliografía del Colegio de Cirugía de Cádiz,sin sus varios viajes en los diversos navíos y, sobre todo, sin el viaje en la corbeta Atrevida, en la expedición de Malaspina, nunca hubiera podido alcanzarel nivel técnico que alcanzó.

Esarhaddon, King of Assyria
Authors: Elayi Josette
Published: January 2023

Esarhaddon, King of Assyria continues Josette Elayi’s narrative journey through the lives of the kings of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Using both archaeological and textual evidence, Elayi examines the contentious circumstances surrounding Esarhaddon’s accession to the throne in 681 BCE, his rebuilding of Babylon, which had been destroyed by his father Sennacherib, his successful campaigns in Media, the Arabian Peninsula, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and the Levant, and his ultimate achievement, the conquest of Egypt in 671 BCE. Throughout, Elayi presents a rich portrait of this enigmatic figure, whose short but impactful reign was plagued by chronic illness and a complex—and ultimately fatal—relationship with his court officials. Yet, through it all, Esarhaddon emerges as one of the most scholarly and most politically successful kings of the empire.

Business, as the movement of economic factors in a certain direction, implies continuous monitoring, regardless of whether it causes changes or maintains the existing state. In this sense, accounting is the most important part of the overall information system of every business entity whose information is indispensable to financial management when making decisions. In this paper, we will present the agricultural holding as a business entity as the main production-organizational unit in agriculture. From the aspect of profitability, agricultural farms can be viewed as farms that operate on a market principle (commercial), whose operations can be considered agribusiness and should be included in the VAT system, and those that operate on a non-market principle (non-commercial), which are engaged in production for own needs.
Specificity of transition in the countries of Central and Southeast Europe
Authors: Miljković Miloš , Đuran Bruno
Published: January 2023

Privatization was one of the largest reform processes in the countries of Central and Southeastern Europe. In the economic literature, privatization in countries in transition is seen as an integral part of the process of liberalization and stabilization of the economy, which transfers property rights from the state to private entities. The main goal of privatization should be to increase the efficiency of business operations through better management, lower operating costs and increased competitiveness. The main problem that arose before the creators of the economic policy of countries in transition in the case of privatization was, among other things, how to transfer the ownership of the largest part of companies in an economy in which there is no private savings and not enough foreign direct investments into private hands. The paper presents the methods of company privatization, market reactions, the level of employment, and finally, the transition of this part of Europe was compared with the events characteristic of Serbia.

Published: January 2023

Spatial and urban plans have recently given an increased focus to the sensitive issue of planning the urban resilience of existing and establishing new urban forests. Urban forests are recognised as an extremely important factor of environmental quality, while scientific studies indicate that the health condition of urban forests is threatened by present-day climate change. There have been relatively few systematic assessments of the causes of tree die-back in urban areas in Serbia. Research, forest establishment planning and tree monitoring to estimate possible consequences to existing trees will enable city authorities and managing bodies to raise the issue of urban forest resilience to climate change to a higher level and incorporate it into urban planning. Future scenarios in which urban forests are resistant to potential adverse climate change will depend on the scope of activities of adaptive planning of urban forest establishment and adaptive management of existing ones. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct long-term studies of monitoring the condition of urban forests in the large cities of Serbia (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Subotica, etc.) in the coming period in order to identify specific problems and remediate the consequences such as deteriorated tree health condition and die-back.

Published: January 2023

The environment of Northern Kosovo and Metohija has been remarkably influenced for a long time by the huge metallurgical complex "Trepča". The technological process of ore exploitation and processing in the Mining and Metallurgical Chemical Company "Trepča" has resulted in a large amount of discharged material, deposited on metal tailings that are mostly located in inappropriate areas, partially covered with vegetation, mostly consisted of several invasive plants. The activity of the enzyme catalase was investigated in plant species collected from abandoned metal tailings "Žitkovac" and compared with the same plant species from the environment from the vicinity of Niš city. Measurements of enzyme activity were carried out in the underground and above-ground parts of plant species Artemisia vulgaris, Cichorium intybus, Erigeron canadensis, Robinia pseudacacia, Medicago sativa, Teucrium chamaedrys, Plantago lanceolata, Rumex acetosella, Tanacetum vulgare and Euphorbia cyparissias using gasometric method. The results have indicated that an increase of catalase activity in tested plants from the metal tailings is possibly a consequence of stress caused by specific environmental conditions.

Authors: Jovanović Sanja , Rakonjac Ljubinko , Lučić Aleksandar , Popović Vladan
Published: January 2023

Chlorophyll is the main participant in the process of photosynthesis, which content can tell about plant physiological health condition. In this research, the SPAD values of the one-year-old Sessile oak seedlings of 5 Serbian provenances were measured during June, August, and October of 2021. The measuring was performed by the SPAD device, and the data were presented through the SPAD index values. The research results confirmed that the environmental conditions where the plants grow have a dominant effect on the chlorophyll content, concerning the origin of the individuals. In further research, it is necessary to accurately determine on a greater plant sample the relationship between chlorophyll content and SPAD index values.

Published: January 2023

The research of the variability within the population based on morphometric characteristics of seedlings had been conducted to preserve the available gene pool of the Sessile oak population located in the Area of Outstanding Natural Landscape (AONL) "Avala" and the controlled use of the genetic resources. Fifty best-quality trees based on the phenotypic characteristics, the carriers of the Sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl) reproductive material production were selected at the population level. Approximately 3 kg of apparently healthy and undamaged acorns were collected from each tree, separated by mother trees, and used for seedling production in the nursery under uniform environmental conditions. The root collar diameter and the height of the randomly selected 50 seedlings per half-sib line were measured at the end of the first growing season, and the sturdiness quotient was calculated based on the measured values. The obtained mean values of the morphometric characteristics indicate a high variability among the tested genotypes. This is also confirmed by the analysis of variance which determined statistically significant differences between the analyzed half-sib lines for all observed morphometric characteristics. The obtained results represent a good starting point for future research on breeding, long-term preservation, and improvement of the ecological adaptability and evolutionary potential of the Sessile oak population by applying adequate in-situ and ex-situ conservation measures. Based on the research results, it can be recommended to use this important species for reintroduction in optimal microclimatic conditions, as well as for the selection of the best individuals for reintroduction.
Radial variability of wood density and fibre length in the red oak trees (Quercus rubra L.)
Authors: Todorović Nebojša , Živanović Ivana , Vilotić Dragica , Milić Goran
Published: January 2023

Wood density and fibre length are two wood properties that are important in determining the quality of wood for commercial use. The fibre length of red oak has not been studied to the same extent as in other oak species. The aim of this paper is to explore the anatomical variation and wood density of red oak wood, as valuable information for researchers in other fields. Samples were taken in a 60-year-old red oak stand in the south part of Belgrade on the site of Stepin Lug. Along the south radius, the disc samples of 20 x 20 mm were cut from the sapwood, mature and juvenile wood. Ovendry density and fibre length were measured from the pith to the bark. According to the obtained data, the average oven-dry density of wood per radius is 0.694 g/cm3 . The lowest is in the juvenile wood and ranges from 0.628 to 0.681 g/cm3 , then in the part of sapwood - 0.662 g/cm3 , and the highest is in the mature wood where the density ranges from 0.707 to 0.740 g/cm3 . The presented values show certain differences, but also conform to literature data on the density of some industrial species from the genus Quercus L. The obtained results of the wood fibre length show that it varies from 0.99 to 1.33 mm which was measured in mature wood. The average length in a mature zone is 1.26 (1.16-1.33) mm, while in a juvenile area the average length is 1.02 (0.85-1.23) mm. Based on the known wood fibre length, it is possible to determine the density of red oak wood. In this research, a positive influence was determined in both parts of the tree, juvenile and mature, but a better mathematical dependence was obtained in the mature zone.

Published: January 2023

In this paper, transversal stress wave velocity was measured in 30 trees of Serbian spruce (Picea omorika /Pančić/ Purk.) using a 2D sonic tomograph. Tomograms were analyzed and speed loss and average speed for Serbian spruce were calculated. Since there is no reference value for this species, in this research the reference value for stress wave velocity of Norway spruce (Picea abies /L./ H. Karst.) was used for comparison. The relative difference between referent and measured stress wave velocity indicates the amount of decay between the two sensors. The largest number of cross-sections had a speed loss of up to 10%, but there were also cross-sections with a speed loss of more than 50% in the transversal direction. This result shows that there are defects and damages in this direction that will reduce the strength of the wood. Summarizing data for trees with speed loss of less than 10%, the average stress wave velocity at the cross-sections is 1635 (1205-2170) m/s. Compared to Norway spruce, this velocity is higher, but not significantly.

It is a well-known fact that a large number of parasitic and saprophytic fungi grow on sweet chestnut trees. However, the greatest damage is caused by C . parasitica which causes "sweet chestnut blight" and leads to its dieback. Hosts other than Castanea species include the following families: Aceraceae, Betulaceae, Fagaceae, Anacardiaceae, Juglandaceae i Magnoliaceae, where it grows as a saprophyte. The exception, according to some authors, is oak, where it can also occur as a parasite. Mycelial growth of C. parasitica was tested on media made of the bark of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), manna ash (Fraxinus ornus), sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), sessile oak (Quercus petraea), common yew (Taxus baccata), hazel (Corylus avellana), small-leaved linden (Tilia cordata), Norway maple (Acer platanoides) and English walnut (Juglans regia). After 28 days, the medium was not completely overgrown only in the variants with sycamore maple and Norway maple bark added to the medium.

The paper presents the results of the research conducted in the "Vinatovača" virgin forest in northeastern Serbia. The investigated stands belong to the complex of mesophilic beech forest types. These stands haven't had any management treatments carried out since 1957 when the virgin forest was placed under state protection as a strict natural reserve of beech with the character of a virgin forest. The results of this research were obtained by selecting homogeneous parts of the virgin forest and surveying sample plots established evenly over the entire surface of the virgin forest. Beech is the dominant tree species in all sample plots. Besides beech, there are individual specimens of maple, common ash, cherry, hornbeam, manna ash and Norway maple in the virgin forest area. The investigated stands have a structure typical of virgin forests with the highest number of trees found in the lowest diameter degrees. The investigated stands have a similar volume as other beech virgin forests in Serbia. The obtained value of the stand volume indicates the high production potential of beech forests in northeastern Serbia.

The development of a modern company implies the effective implementation of various marketing strategies. Marketing strategies are the basis for an effective marketing plan that is an integral part of the company's business plan. The marketing plan is defined and shaped in practice between the design of an adequate marketing strategy and the implementation of the marketing campaign. Defining marketing strategies implies a clear specification of a series of specific actions that need to be successfully implemented. Achieving defined marketing goals is directly correlated with well-defined marketing strategies. The key is to ensure measurable results when implementing a marketing strategy. Marketing strategies represent the foundation for developing a tactical plan in the company and thus have an extremely significant impact on the success of the company's operations. Therefore, there is a necessity to clearly define the types of marketing strategies that will be implemented in a certain company. In Republika Srpska, as an integral part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one can identify different types of marketing strategies applied by companies in order to achieve their business goals. The specifics of the market influence the definition and application of specific marketing strategies.

Las instituciones de educación superior demandan de sus nuevos estudiantes la madurez necesaria para adecuarse y adoptar sus responsabilidades como nuevos miembros de la comunidad universitaria. Tal proceso de adaptación sucede en una etapa de complejos cambios, por lo cual, un significativo número de ellos presentan altas probabilidades de ocurrencia respecto al aparecimiento de estrés, ansiedad y depresión. En función de ello, se presenta una investigación realizada a partir de dos grupos estudiantiles hondureños con rendimiento académico diferenciado, con el propósito de analizar la relación entre las variables de alteraciones de salud mental y adaptación universitaria. La investigación se desarrolla con un enfoque cuantitativo de naturaleza descriptiva, correlacional y de corte transversal. La Escala de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés (DASS-21) y el Cuestionario de Vivencias Académicas, versión reducida (QVA-r) se aplicaron a una muestra total de 871 estudiantes pertenecientes a la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras. Los resultados indican asociaciones negativas y estadísticamente significativas entre las dimensiones de alteraciones de salud mental y adaptación universitaria. Además, se evidencian diferencias en las variables analizadas al contrastar grupos de bajo y alto rendimiento académico, principalmente en lo referido a las dimensiones de adaptación universitaria vinculadas con los factores de carrera y estudio. Finalmente, se discuten las implicaciones de los hallazgos para el campo educativo y, sobre todo, para la práctica de la orientación psicopedagógica en educación superior.
