Published: December 2022

Based on student perceptions, this study describes mathematics teachers' personalities and social competence at MTsN 2 Cirebon. This study examines and describes mathematics teachers' personalities and social competencies based on student perceptions of MTsN 2 Cirebon. This type of research uses mixed research methods and a sequential explanatory design. The population in this study was all class VIII MTsN 2 Cirebon, and the sample in this study was 134 students. The data collection techniques are questionnaires and interviews using instruments like questionnaire results and interview guidelines. The data analysis used is descriptive statistics and descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the description of the personality competence of mathematics teachers at MTsN 2 Cirebon, according to the analysis of student perceptions in general, was categorized as good with a percentage of 72.67%, which was supported by the results of student interviews stating that the teacher always dressed neatly and according to the official schedule, starting and ending timely learning. However, there are indicators of personality competence that have not been maximized, namely the teacher being a role model for students, with a smaller percentage than the other three indicators of personality competence, namely 68.38%. Moreover, the social competence of mathematics teachers at MTsN 2 Cirebon, according to the analysis of student perceptions in general, is categorized as good. Supported the results of student interviews state that the teacher, when in class, interacts well with students and cares about students by reprimanding, advising, and repeating learning that has not been understood, but if outside the classroom, the teacher is just ordinary, not so close, just saying hello like other teachers.

Authors: Baiden Ebenezer Ato , Agbene Samuel
Published: December 2022

This study examined the effects of computer-aided instruction (CAI) and conventional teaching methods on high school biology performance. He was randomly selected from each of his two schools to take two science courses. An unequal, quasi-experimental, pre-test, and post-test design were used. Students in the experimental group used their CAI to learn cellular respiration (a biological concept), while the control group learned the same cellular respiration using a conventional approach. Independent and paired-samples t-tests were used to analyze pre-and post-test results for both experimental and control groups. Results showed that students taught using the traditional approach performed better on the post-test than those taught using the CAI. However, students in the experimental group performed better after being instructed to use the CAI. The results also showed that underperforming students performed better after being tutored at CAI. This indicates that CAI is more effective in teaching underperforming students.

Published: December 2022

The study reveals the economic behavior of fisherfolks that governs their decisions to practice accounting in Partido district, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Economic behavior was modeled and measured through the following parameters: the socioeconomic characteristics of the fisherfolks and their economic transactions; the economic perceptions on socioeconomic contribution, market sustainability, and financial viability of fishing activity; the recordkeeping practices they adopt and constraints they encounter; and the Willingness to participate in accounting enhancement programs. Nonlinear models were utilized, and a causal-explanatory design was applied. The survey was conducted throughout the four sectors of the district. Most fisherfolks are married men with an average age of 45. Most are elementary graduates, have 7-8 children, and are impoverished. They have been observing 6 recordkeeping practices and have asserted 14 types of constraints. They have identified 10 economic transactions that need a formal bookkeeping system and expressed 21 economic perceptions about the fishing industry. Based on probit models, 11 variables govern their decisions to practice accounting: 2 socioeconomic characteristics; 3 composite economic perceptions; 3 composite economic transactions; and 3 fishing activities as control variables. Finally, the study proposes policy interventions to improve the livelihood and uplift the accounting practices of fisherfolks.
Prehospital recognition of life-threating thoracic trauma
Authors: Velikanac Daniela , Uzelac Bojana
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Severe thoracic trauma is a potentially lifethreatening injury, leading to immediate impairment of cardiorespiratory functions or bleeding; but also consequential fatal infections, damage of: heart, large blood vessels, mediastinal organs or pleura with pneumothorax/hematothorax. Objective: To present a case of penetrating chest injuries with forks, caused by traffic. Methodology: Case report from medical documentation. Case report: The EMS team was called for a car accident including vehicle and a tractor. At the passenger seat of the car, a female person was found stabbed with a pitchfork through the torso and fixed to the seat. Firefighters cut a part of the metal forks, while medics stabilized foreign body and made emporary hemostasis. The entrance and exit wounds were verified. Vitals were: TA: 130/60mmHg, heart rate 100/min, SaO2 90%. The peripheral venous line was opened and O2 10L/min was applied through an oxygen mask. The patient was transported in a sitting position, with medical manual stabilization, to the ER. The surgeon was immediately consulted and the patient, due to vital indications, was urgently admitted to the operating room. In the abdomen, 8 cm laceration of the III segment of the liver, cleft omentum and deserosion of the small curve of the stomach were verified. A foreign body passed between the aorta and the esophagus, without injuring them. Conclusion: Thanks to the prompt EMS reaction and the proper pre-hospital care, as well as early inpatient surgical treatment, the patient's outcome was good.

Authors: Balci Senay , Akbayir Serin , Bozlu Murat , Tamer Lulufer
Published: December 2022

Background: Prostate cancer is a slowly progressing cancer. However, it has remained a major medical problem for affected men. Risk factors of prostate cancer include age, race, and prostate cancer family history. Prostate cancer may occur at different frequencies between ethnic populations and countries. Currently, studies on genetic risk factors in prostate cancer aetiology have been increasing. Due to the importance of changes in endothelial nitric oxide synthase in carcinogenesis, we aimed to reveal whether eNOS T786C polymorphism is associated with prostate cancer. Methods: Archival samples included in this study were whole blood samples taken from patients who were grouped according to prostate biopsy pathology results (BPH, n: 42; PCa, n: 48) and from healthy participants (controls, n:27). DNA was isolated from these whole blood samples and real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed for endothelial nitric oxide synthase T786C polymorphism with LightCycler 480 II. Measured free and total prostate-specific antigen serum levels were evaluated retrospectively. Results: There was a statistical difference between patient-healthy control and control-healthy control groups regarding genotype distributions for eNOS T786C hism. Controls were more likely to have TC and CC genotypes and C alleles than the other two groups. Conclusions: Compared to other groups, the percentage of the eNOS786C allele in the control group was found to be higher. As a result of these data, it can be thought that carrying the allele may be protective against the disease.

Authors: Jovanović Anđelina , Valjarević Svetlana , Jovanović Milan
Published: December 2022

Laryngocele is a sac-like, pathological enlargement of the Morgagni's ventricle, which occurs between the true and false vocal cords. This change is filled with air and is continuous with the lumen of the larynx. It is usually asymptomatic and is accidentally detected during radiological diagnostics. We present the case of a 54-year-old patient who came for examination due to a painless swelling in her neck on the left side, which lasted for 8 months and increased upon Valsalva's maneuver. Occasionally the patient was hoarse. By clinical otorhinolaryngological examination and computed tomography of the neck and larynx, we found a cystic formation, filled with air, which extended above the larynx and spread to the side of the neck.The laryngocele was surgically removed using an external cervical approach. The neck of the laryngocele is sent through the thyroid membrane, while preserving the upper laryngeal nerve and the accompanying vascular stalk. Pathohistological examination revealed that the laryngocele consisted of respiratory layered cylindrical epithelium. Laryngocele should be taken into account in differential diagnosis of neck swelling.

Introduction: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/ CPPS) is a inflammatory syndrome, manifested by pain, voiding symptoms, sexual dysfunction, and mental health issues including anxiety. Beneficial effects of exercise are known, but its influence on CP/CPPS has not been investigated. This study aimed to determine the effects of chronic aerobic physical activity on anxiety-related behavior and pain in rats with experimental CP/CPPS. Material and Methods: Adult male Wistar albino rats (n=32) were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=8 in each): Sham-SED (30-days sedentary-SED protocol on treadmill and intraprostatic injection of 0.9% NaCl); Sham-PA (30-days physically active-PA protocol on treadmill and intraprostatic injection of 0.9% NaCl); CP/CPPS-SED (30-days SED protocol on treadmill and intraprostatic injection of 3% l-carrageenan); CP/CPPSPA (30-days PA protocol on treadmill and intraprostatic injection of 3% l-carrageenan). To establish pain dynamics, scrotal skin pain thresholds were measured by electronic von Frey aesthesiometer (evF) preoperatively: 2 and 1 day, and also postoperatively: 2nd, 3rd, and 7th day. Anxiety-like behavior was estimated by subjectiong the animals to the open field (OF), elevated plus maze (EPM) and light/dark (L/D) tests at the same postoperative days as evF. Results: Rats that developed experimental CP/CPPS showed decreased mechanical pain threshold in the scrotal skin in all postoperative time points, in comparison to the Sham group. Also, in rats with prostatitis increased anxiety-like behavior was observed in OF, EMP and L/D test, compared to corresponding controls. Protocol of 30-day long exercise in rats with CP/CPPS led to reversion of anxiety-like behavior and increased scrotal pain threshold. Conclusion: Results of the present study showed that exercise pretreatment on the treadmill for 30 consecutive days led to the amelioration of anxiety-related and pain-related behavior in rats with CP/CPPS.

Authors: Popov-Momčinović Zlatiborka , Vučetić Vuk
Published: December 2022

The present paper analyzes the status of women politicians and the amount of their representation in the discourse of four daily newspapers (Dnevni Avaz, Oslobođenje, Glas Srpske and Press) during local pre-electoral campain in B&H in 2012. Content analysis which was conducted in this research shows that female politicians are under-represented and invisible. This conclusion was drawn based on the frequency of their newspaper representation in aggregate and in specific journalists' forms of reporting. Through techniques of discursive negotiations of gender in and through media, women's "simbolic annihiliation" is thus brought about, having at the same time ontological consequences with respect to the status of women in matters regarding res publica. At the same time, by using the semiotics of Judith Butler, it is highlighted that this imposition of women's subordination, which is in its very essence patriarchal, makes room for disidentificational resistance through gender-sensitive performative acts and political engagements.
Lost in transition: The limits of freedom in scholarship
Authors: Jokić Aleksandar
Published: December 2022

The central question addressed in this essay is whether there might exist some justifiable limits to freedom in science and scholarship. The question is further specified to deal with social sciences (including humanities) in the so-called "transitional period". Paying attention to the historical context and sociological facts on the ground, the essay considers an "ethics of research" as falling within a larger endeavor of developing first an "ethics of international activism" approached in the way that formulates a series of constraints on what would constitute morally permissible agency in the context that includes delivering services abroad, directly or indirectly. Relying on some of those constraints and a key conceptual distinction between "activism in scholarship" and "activism with scholarship" a proposal is made about a way to think about justifiable limits to freedom in scholarship, using as example the field of "transitional justice" studies.
Conflict and/or coexistence: The phenomenon of Bosnian komsiluk
Authors: Vukoičić Jelena
Published: December 2022

In this article the author analyses the phenomenon of Bosnian komsiluk, the term that is mostly used in order to describe multiethnic society in B&H, that is the relations between different ethnic communities living on the same territory. It is said that komsiluk, in some works on the subject of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is mostly portrayed as the key evidence of harmonic multiethnic society which was destroyed in the civil war in the nineties, by the nationalist forces outside of B&H. The author, however, emphasizes that these kinds of attitudes wrongly interpret the essence of this phenomenon. Komsiluk much less represents the expression of the centuries old tolerance, and much more the mechanism of the everyday functioning of different ethnic communities, based on the respect of very strict rules of behavior and the maintenance of borderline between the members of different nations. The best proof of this 'superficial closeness' of the peoples in B&H is their behavior in the periods of political and security crisis, which were numerous in the turbulent history of this region. In each one of these cases, Serbs, Muslims and Croats have had different political platforms and started brutal interethnic conflicts. Civil war in the period from 1992. until 1995., therefore, is in no way exception, but rather the rule, that is, the continuity of the accumulated political problems solving within Bosnian komsiluk. Author concludes that, in order to understand complex interethnic relations in B&H, it is important to understand the essence of the phenomenon of komsiluk, which, without any doubt, represents very important factor in the turbulent history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Until the end of the 1990s in university textbooks on sociology was no separate chapter on poverty, and this goes for older translated textbooks. It is associated with economic development and the functioning of the welfare state. Collapse of the "war on poverty" and the deepening economic crisis has led to "rediscovery of poverty, " which resulted in the appearance of the topic of poverty in textbooks. Represents a milestone translated Haralambos' Introduction to Sociology (1989), in which there is a whole section on poverty.

Towards "revealing" of poverty in northern Kosovo: Focus on the rural population
Authors: Milovanović Ivana , Ivković Ana
Published: December 2022

The results presented in this paper came from a field research, performed in order to explore characteristics of daily life and determination of poverty within rural population in the north of Kosovo. The sample consisted of women who live in villages in municipalities of Kosovska Mitrovica, Zvečan, Leposavić and Zubin Potok (N=12). During the performing of interviews with women, age from 14 to 65, in municipalities mentioned above, we noticed large scope of daily life problems those women are facing (as well as their families). Results acquired indicate apathy and the lack of faith in their own resources, which would promote their living conditions. Despite the fact that those women are greatly engaged in working within their family households, they believe that the role of their husbands, brother and fathers is to contact the representatives of different organisations, in order to seek for help. In very few cases, when family members did contact representatives of some of the organisations, they would be returning home without any concrete information on possibilities how to actually get any kind of help (aid). Having that said, it appears that the families belonging to a category of rural population in the north of Kosovo, are primarily left to their own, because according to interviewees' statements, the aid will receive only those "who have somebody in those organisations". Such statements, recorded in all in-depth interviews performed, indicate lack of transparency in work of all organisations (both state and civil sector), which, at the same time represents the very first step in necessary change of work policies of those organisations.
Poverty and religiosity
Authors: Kuzmančev-Stanojević Sonja , Lazar Žolt
Published: December 2022

The paper starts from the problematization of the results of recent empirical studies on the connection between poverty and religiosity. All of these studies confirm the secularization thesis on negative correlation between the degrees of religiosity and wealth of some society. For this work primarily importance is to determine why it is that among the members of a poorer societies religiosity is higher, or to point on poverty as a "social situation" that favors it. On the other hand, considering the question of varying degrees of religiosity among the countries with same or similar level of development, suggesting on a problem of growing economic inequality and the consequences it has on the level of people's religiosity, both in the poor and in rich and developed societies. The conclusion is that classical secularization paradigm should be supplemented by explaining the influence of neoliberal capitalism on all segments of society and culture and also on religion.
Indicators of urbanization: Poverty and social development
Authors: Perić-Romić Ranka
Published: December 2022

Social development is conditioned by the capitalist mode of production, which requires constant investment of surplus capital in new production, innovation, infrastructure and other projects. It also restricts the discovery of new territories usually large urban areas that have the potential and the possibility of absorption of the same. It is also a direct relationship between urbanization and channeling of excess capital which is exhaustively spoken about by David Harvey. In contrast to the capitalist countries which with the goal to revive and produce surplus capital and surplus value, at the half of the last century, have created a strong banking system, financial institutions and foundations that have made loans for urban infrastructure development and favorable loans to citizens in order to achieve housing rights and build specific urban styles, in Eastern Europe the situation has not played out in the same direction. A different approach to social development as well as development planning and expansion of urban areas can significantly determine the path of increasing urban poverty further supported by the pressures that comes from those countries to support the sustainability of the capitalist mode of economic development of new markets and cheaper labor, as is the case with certain Asian and Latin American countries. The final image of the structure of the urban population of the post-Communist countries is affected by processes of transition and privatization. Growth and development of urban areas should be seen as separate categories caused by a number of factors such as social heritage and social organization, transformation and transition processes, the degree of industrialization and alike.

Published: December 2022

A contemporary capitalism is late, corporative and global. It functions as a casino. Casino-capitalism is based on idea that one who keeps and turns roulette always wins. In this economic system, societies like Serbian, societies in the periphery of economic system, always lose. That is because casino-capitalism continually destroys its economic resources. Casino capitalism, especially, ruins labor force of societies from its periphery. The wealth of societies from the periphery could only be understood as potential profit the Empire. In the casino capitalism, there is no economic gain or gains for the societies from the periphery. During the process of transition, impoverishment of the society, continually and fastly increases. It is urgent, to establish a line of the defense from the casino capitalism. Examples of BRIKS, Iceland, Hungary, Greece shows that by strengthen national state you challenge the ideological hegemony of the casino capitalism. Also, in order to avoid the fate of countries of the Forth World, (world depraved of any hope) it is necessary that countries in transition decide to withdraw from the IMF and World Bank, instuitions based upon Breton -Woods Agreement in 1948.

In an effort to respond to the challenges that higher education has faced in recent decades, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as other European countries, have joined the process of establishing a unified "zone" of higher education, which is known as the Bologna process. The paper points to the influence of international factors that imposed education reform. The higher education system in the Republic of Srpska was analyzed and the key parameters of this by the Bologna process projected higher education concept were identified with a special emphasis on the most significant challenges and difficulties in the last 12 years.
Selfie as identity policy: Digital autoeroticism as the desubjectivization of the subject
Authors: Đukić Nemanja
Published: December 2022

In the following article, we sociologically analyze the phenomenon of selfies as an expression of postmodern identity politics. In the first part of the article, we explain how the quite specific The World Picture as a dispositive (pre-experiential symbolic space) establishes quite specific type of sociability, quite specific type of interpersonal relation, and quite specific type of autoeroticism. The postmodern World Picture establishes logocentrism (generality) as the new nature of sociability, contact as a typical mode of interpersonal relation, and selfies as the dominant form of autoeroticism. In the second part of the article, in a manner characteristic of Lacan and Derida, we analyze the phenomenon of autoeroticism as a symbolic process of the formation of subjectivity. In the third part of the article, we analyze the phenomenon of selfies as the final stage of digital desubjectivization of the subject.

Published: December 2022

The intensive construction of road infrastructure due to urbanization and industrialization around the world carries with it negative environmental impacts, primarily due to increased emissions of gases, but also due to the separation of natural habitats and ecosystems. In order to overcome this problem, without affecting the mobility of the population, it is necessary to allow wild animals to cross over or below the roads, i.e. to create wildlife crossings, which requires knowledge of the locations where the corridors of animal movements intersect with existing or planned roads. This paper analysis the establishment of a camera system and the application of a deep learning methodology for the automatic identification of animals by species and number, in order to determine locations for the construction of crossings for large wildlife. Also, the paper presents the possibility of using geographic information systems to analyze information obtained by monitoring built wildlife crossings.

Authors: Živković Ljiljana , Jovanović Jasmina , Đorđević Ivana , Janković Tanja
Published: December 2022

Educational tourism is a selective form of thematic tourism and implies a trend of acquiring new knowledge, transferring knowledge to others, as well as improving skills outside the classroom. It implies a tourist activity in which education is the primary or secondary motive for staying at the destination. The main goal of the travel is focused on activities that include visits to other countries to learn about different cultures. These include student exchange programs and study trips, work, and skills development in different and new environments, such as numerous international internships. There is a difference between travels where education is not the main motive; however, during the holiday guests are educated about certain aspects of the tourist offer (e.g. cultural attractions) and travels where education is the main motive for travel and stay at the destination.

In the same time author criticise total legislative indifference toward prevailing culture and values of a society in which the Code should apply.
The issues of managing the epidemic situation in the health care system in Hungary
Authors: Homicskó Árpád
Published: December 2022

In my study, I intend to explore the impact of the current epidemic situation on the health care system in Hungary. To this end, the legal environment applicable to the epidemic situation and the measures related to the health care system in the context of the epidemic situation will be presented. I think that in the 21st century and beyond, it will be increasingly important to deal with emerging epidemics, to which all countries must be able to respond appropriately. Managing the epidemic situations effectively and appropriately is in the interest of society as a whole. Furthermore, public health considerations are essential, and every country has to enhance efforts to fight epidemics. In the 21st century, states still have to consider their task to provide the necessary financial resources to combat epidemics. Health care systems should be suitable to meet public health and epidemiological considerations and the demands of general patient care.
Hybrid war management with special reference to U.S
Authors: Mirković Vladan
Published: December 2022

Hybrid warfare captures the attention of professional and the general public, with in most cases the emphasis on the content of hybrid warfare. However, the success of hybrid warfare does not result from its content, but from the synergistic effect that arises from the successful integration of the activities of a large number of subjects into a single activity. The task of achieving such integration has the security management, which, acting on the basis of legal and political acts, should achieve organizational and functional unity of numerous and diverse entities in achieving the desired goal.
Interpretation of law and intent
Authors: Avramović Dragutin , Jovanov Ilija
Published: December 2022

The authors start from the assumption that the intention of the legislator is an element that the interpreter should not neglect when understanding the text of the law. Intention can be understood in different ways, wider and narrower, as a psychic moment, but also as a manifested intention. The most prominent opponents of the concept of collective psychological intention come from the school of legal realism, criticizing the standpoints and manners of resolving many important cases in the practice of the highest courts in the United States of America. The authors conclude that it is absurd to understand legislative intent as a concept that aims to read the minds of members of the legislature. But also, the point of view that the legislator, just because it is a collective body, has no intention regarding the topic it discusses and passes the most important regulations in the state, takes the same degree of bizarreness. It must be assumed that the legislature always has a rational will that reflects the attitude of the people towards the policy that the parliamentary majority stand for in the elections. Consequently, it is sometimes possible to give an answer how would legislator solve a certain dilemma if it was set to him. The intention of the legislator might be very useful in interpretation, but it must be kept in mind that it does not solve every particular problem in interpretation and that it is sometimes just a guideline for the mindset of a disciplined judge who will always seek for the meaning that the legislature wanted to express with the words used.
Voting right as legal and ethical category
Authors: Orlović Slobodan , Rajić Nataša
Published: December 2022

Voting right is a subjective public right and belongs to the group of a basic political rights. It could be considered as a legal as well as an ethical category. These two aspects are not completely separable and they are closely connected to a constitutional culture level of a concrete society. Thereof, a high percentage of electoral turnout could not be exclusively a consequence of compulsory voting as well as sanction which follow the violation of this obligation. A lower percentage of electoral turnout could also have a positive impact on dynamic of relationship between citizen - government, if it represents a constructive expression toward a political elite and its crucial decisions.
Los canteros del jaspe de Espeja y Espejón en el s. XVI. Análisis de la figura del concesionario
Authors: Alonso Mora Alba
Published: December 2022

La importancia de la roca ornamental como elemento decorativo en el Renacimiento español es indiscutible, y denota la existencia de un intenso trabajo cantero en todas sus variedades. El siguiente artículo se centra en la cantería y en los factores que la hicieron posible, resaltando el papel de la figura del concesionario –muy poco estudiada–, en posición intermedia entre el cantero y el artista. Situados al frente de los yacimientos, asumían los gastos de explotación y establecían los lazos comerciales, sino personales, con los artistas demandantes del material. En concreto, recuperaremos los concesionarios de una de la piedra más relevantes del siglo XVI: el «jaspe de Espeja».

LAS MEDIDAS PENALES ALTERNATIVAS: ¿PREVIENEN DELITOS?
Authors: Màrquez Postigo Sandra
Published: December 2022

El número de infractores sometido a medidas penales alternativas a la pena de prisión (MPA) está aumentando durante los últimos años, a la vez que la población penitenciaria está disminuyendo. El objetivo principal del presente trabajo es analizar la aplicación y ejecución de las MPA en Cataluña durante el período 2006-2020, así como evaluar la eficacia de dichas medidas en contraste con la eficacia obtenida por las penas de prisión, a partir de indicadores tales como las tasas de reincidencia y las variables y factores asociados a una reducción de la reincidencia. También se pretende detectar los problemas derivados de su aplicación y ejecución, con especial atención a la concordancia con las finalidades de la pena. Para todo ello, se efectuará un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de la muestra documental, que está constituida por los resultados e informes de investigaciones previas sobre dicha temática. Si bien se han detectado ciertos errores en la aplicación y ejecución de estas medidas, estas parecen ser más eficaces por lo que a la resocialización del penado respecta que el encarcelamiento. Se confía en que dichos resultados puedan ser de utilidad para la praxis futura de las MPA y para investigaciones venideras.
LA PENA INTERMINABLE: UNA REFLEXIÓN CRÍTICA SOBRE LA PRISIÓN PERMANENTE REVISABLE A PROPÓSITO DE LA STC 169/2021, DE 6 DE OCTUBRE
Authors: Colomo Iraola Helene
Published: December 2022

Han pasado siete años desde que la pena de prisión permanente revisable pasara a ser parte del acervo de penas que conforman nuestro sistema penal y, sin embargo, hoy sigue dando de qué hablar. Esta pena constituye la consecuencia jurídica más grave de todas las que se prevén en el Código penal, por lo que su reciente constitucionalidad no es una cuestión menor, no ya por la pena per se, sino por la política criminal que subyace a la misma: el Derecho penal del enemigo.
