Application of the "soft power" instrument of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Pavić Aleksandar , Beriša Hatidža , Mihajlović Dejan
Published: July 2024

The issue of the work is the analysis of the application of some of the "soft power" instruments of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. It is especially important to study soft power from the point of view of its impact on the realization of vital interests and the defense of statehood, through the protection of territorial sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia. Although the geopolitical influence of Great Britain is not primarily directed towards Serbia and is not the focus of Serbian contemporary diplomacy, by analyzing various historical-political relations, indirect influence through the use of "soft power" instruments, i.e. the action of covert instruments of power, social and educational institutions, nongovernmental organizations, intelligence components , placement of interests through the KFOR mission on the territory of AP Kosovo and Metohija and other factors.. This paper indicates that although the Republic of Serbia is a small, strategically almost negligible country, it has a significant role in the realization of Great Britain's interests in this part of Europe. The political noise that shapes everyday life, the daily political topics that take us away from the real focus cannot deny the constant existence of Great Britain's interests on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Interests de facto exist, but the way of their realization is realized through the use of instruments of power that are not directly and completely transparent.
Low back pain: Diagnosis and treatment options
Authors: Vagić Katarina
Published: July 2024

Diseases of the lumbar spine, manifested as low back pain (LBP), are presented by pain in the lumbosacral region, with possible propagation along one or both legs, where signs of motor and/or sensory disturbances may also be present. According to its character, features, mode of occurrence, and duration, the pain can be acute (non-specific LBP), subacute, chronic, neuropathic, or radicular, and can be accompanied by serious spinal pathology, with a large neurological deficit. The importance of this problem is indicated by the fact that LBP is the second most frequent reason for visits to the doctor, but also the leading cause of work incapacity. The paper gives a brief overview of this problem from the aspects of epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, with a focus on diagnostic and treatment options. The importance of the clinical examination is particularly emphasized, with an emphasis on the importance of noticing warning symptoms ("red flags") that require immediate assessment and treatment. Additional diagnostic modalities, including radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, electromyoneurography and (EMNG), are useful in discovering the cause of low back pain and making treatment decisions. The treatment of lumbar syndrome requires a multispecialty team and a multimodal approach, including non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapy, and in some, the most severe cases, surgical treatment. A multidisciplinary approach involves the engagement of various medical specialties and subspecialties, including specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, pain medicine, neurosurgery, orthopedics, anesthesiology, and others, as needed.
Circular economy and its barriers to implementation in the construction sector
Authors: Milović Tiana , Laban Mirjana , Starčev-Ćurčin Anka , Bulatović Vesna
Published: July 2024

The concept of circular economy has become an important topic during the last decade, because it offers a systems solution framework that creates a closed-loop system to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency in order to achieve a better balance and harmony between economy, environment and society. The construction industry has significant potential to apply a circular economy model since this industry is responsible for considerable global natural resource extraction and solid waste production. Worldwide, more than 10 billion tons of construction and demolition waste are produced annually, while the demolition alone is responsible for 50% of all waste produced by the building sector. In Serbia, the sectors of agriculture, forestry and fishing, mining, manufacturing, electricity, gas and steam supply, water supply and wastewater management, construction and service activities generated 56.3 million tons of waste just during 2020. Although 80% of construction waste can be recycled according to the Agency for Environmental Protection reports the waste recycling has not yet been established in Serbia. On the other hand, Serbia adopted the Roadmap for Circular Economy in Serbia, the Law of Waste Management, the Regulation on the Manner and Procedure of Waste Management from Construction and Demolition, and accepted the conditions of the European Union for linking the European Green Deal with the strategic development of the region by signing the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans. This paper provides a brief literature review that introduces the circular economy by presenting its origin, definition and principles as well as the barriers (five categories: technological, economic, socio-cultural, institutional and regulatory) to its wider adoption in the construction sector.
School climate as a safety factor in secondary schools
Authors: Tadić Violeta , Kordić Boris
Published: July 2024

The paper examines secondary school students' perceptions of the connection between school climate and school safety among secondary school students. A positive school climate and a safe school environment are significant factors in the academic success and proper psychosocial development of students. Therefore, it is important to examine the structure and interrelationship of indicators of school climate and school safety in order to contribute to a clearer and more grounded creation of school policies. The research was conducted through a questionnaire. The School Climate Questionnaire measures three factors: teacher and school support, student engagement and interactions, and rigid discipline. The School Safety Questionnaire measures four factors: violent behavior, unsafe school environment, victimization, and violation of norms. A sample of 719 students from nine secondary schools in the territory of the Republic of Serbia completed self-report questionnaires that measured school climate and school safety. The research confirmed the connection between school climate and school safety. Specifically, teacher and school support builds significant low negative associations with all dimensions of school safety. Student engagement and interactions build a medium negative association with violation of norms, while with the other three dimensions of school safety it builds low negative associations. Rigid discipline should be seen as a separate phenomenon in relation to the concept of school climate, and it builds low positive associations with the factors violation of norms and unsafe school environment. Promoting positive interactions among all participants in the educational process through various activities to encourage and develop desirable forms of behavior (teaching about the correct ways to resolve conflicts, support in the educational process, etc.) by the school and teachers would significantly contribute to the construction of a safe school environment.
Parenting between critics of contemporary parenting culture and real support needs
Authors: Šarančić Marija , Pantić Ivana
Published: July 2024

At the end of the 20th century, the creators of family policies recognized the empowerment of parents for competent handling of children as an important mechanism for overcoming both current and potential social problems. The politicization of parenthood entails the so-called determinism of parental behavior, which means that if parents do not act properly in their relationship with their child and do not provide conditions for the realization of their child's full potential, they potentially harm their child and the general development of the society to which they belong. In contemporary culture, parents are expected to be experts in child-rearing. Parenting is treated as a profession where parents should acquire formal training based on scientific knowledge. Under the influence of social expectations, additional pressure is created for parents to deal intensively with raising a child, but their roles as mother and father are not seen as a whole. Attention is directed to the procedures that are propagated as adequate and that they should apply to children. For this reason, the question of parents' empowerment to overcome difficulties in raising children, through cooperation with experts from various fields, has been raised. Research shows that there is a real need for parenting support. These programs have had positive effects on the relationship between parents and children, but nevertheless the evaluation of the programs' effects should be cautious because the results can only be seen many years after these interventions.

Authors: Ayodele Sadiku , Olaomi Olusegun
Published: July 2024

Seed moisture influence on some engineering properties of African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum) was investigated at 15, 19, 23, 27 and 31% (wet basis) moisture levels. This is vital to seed storage, handling and the development of required processing equipment. The properties were determined using standard procedures. Data were analyzed with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to test the significance of moisture effect on the seeds' properties while separation of means was done with Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) using IBM/SPSS statistical package. Results obtained showed that increased seed moisture produced significant linear increments in seed thickness (0.74±0.13 - 0.85±0.12 cm), sphericity (0.56±0.05 - 0.60±0.04), bulk density (379.0±10.7 - 451.1±11.4 kgm-3), true density (725.3±24.6 - 813.8±28.8 kgm-3), angle of repose (24.1±1.63 - 31.7°±1.22), static coefficient of friction (SCF) of seed on: galvanized iron (37.4±1.8 - 42.0±3.5) surface. All the normal and shear stresses at 200, 300 and 400 g loads increased linearly with highest values at 31% moisture content and 400g load for both normal (16.56±1.83) and shear (25.28±9.32) stresses. Other properties decreased linearly viz: Seed length (2.55±0.23 - 2.3±0.17 cm), width (1.53±0.16 - 1.37±0.17), SCF of seeds on: Aluminum (30.6±2.1 - 28⁰±0.9), Glass (33.4±2.3 - 26.7⁰±1.6) and Polyvinyl chloride (32±1.6 - 29⁰±1) surfaces due to their smoothness. Equations were generated for predicting the behavior of African star apple seeds subject to moisture. Primary data needed for machine development was developed. Mechanization of the handling and processing of African apple seeds for oil production is therefore possible.

Published: July 2024

In order to enhance the dissemination of agricultural information to farmers, numerous Agricultural Mobile Phone Applications (AMPAs) have been developed to bridge the knowledge gap between experts and agricultural practitioners. However, the extent to which farmers are aware of these Applications remains uncertain. The study therefore aimed at examining the knowledge of and attitude towards AMPAs among cassava farmers in South-west, Nigeria. A three-stage sampling procedure was employed to select 410 respondents for the study. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics, including frequency counts, percentages, means, and regression analysis. The findings of the study were that farmers exhibited a high level of knowledge for IITA herbicides calculator (80.4%), Airtel 4-2-1 call App (88.6%), and Akilimo App (75.3%). Farmers had a positive attitude towards the use of the IITA herbicides calculator (75.0%), Airtel 4-2-1 call App (84.5%), and Akilimo App (80.4%). Regression analysis showed that level of education (b = 0.260, p=0.044), and smart phone (b= 0.278, p=0.022) owned were also positively significant to the knowledge level while age (b= -0.278, p=0.021) have negative significance. The study concluded that farmers in the study area had good knowledge and favourable attitude about AMPAs. The study therefore recommended that designing user interfaces that cater to the preferences and usability needs of different age groups is important noting that younger users may navigate complex interfaces, while older users may prefer simpler and more intuitive designs.

Covert marketing in films and series
Authors: Dimitrijević Ljiljana , Gojković Marija , Kolar Janez
Published: July 2024

Looking at the media, especially television, it is noticeable that marketing and advertising occupy an important segment. Organizations realize the importance of media advertising in order to promote their products and services. And while we are watching a movie or a favorite series, the advertising block and commercials do not bother us at all, and we use that time for other things. Although advertising represents an important segment of marketing, here we see its shortcomings. Modern business gives increasing commercial importance to covert marketing in films and series, and it is becoming an influential form of advertising. Practice records a large number of examples of successful applications of covert marketing (product placement). On the other hand, it is noticeable that covert marketing completely holds the attention of viewers or consumers. Its influence is growing, and through advertising through celebrities, who immediately draw attention to a certain brand or service, its attractiveness is growing. The main purpose of covert advertising is for the manufacturer to put their products and services in the real life context. The viewer identifies with the characters from the film or series, whose actions remind them of their life situations or what they aspire to, thus avoiding promotion through classic advertising blocks or space provided for advertisements, and the believability of the message is greatly increased.
Žitomislić monastery in the 19th century
Authors: Milošević Borivoje
Published: July 2024

The Žitomislić Monastery, located not far from Mostar, has been considered one of the most important centres of Serbian spirituality and culture in Herzegovina since its founding. For this reason, it was the subject of extensive scientific research, while the nineteenth century was overlooked due to the lack of primary historical sources. Valuable descriptions of the monastery, providing details about its status and brotherhood, were left by Serafim Šolaja, Nićifor Dučić, and the Russian consul, Aleksandar Giljferding. The beauty of the monastery and its location along the Neretva River, on the way from Mostar to the coast, piqued the interest of many travellers, who left several records about it. A special place in the history of Žitomislić, and Serbian education in general, is held by the Spiritual School, the first of its kind in Bosnian Pashaluk, founded in 1858 by Nićifor Dučić and Serafim Perović. Like other Serbian monasteries and churches in Herzegovina, the Žitomislić Monastery survived the second half of the 19th century with occasional help from Serbia and Russia. Of special historical importance were the connections of Žitomislić with the Russian consuls in Bosnian Pashaluk.
"Young people are calling for more action on what they say is a climate emergency": English learner's dictionaries and the global environmental issue
Authors: Pettini Silvia
Published: July 2024

This paper aims to investigate the representation of "the defining issue of our time" (Guterres, 2018), that is, the global environmental crisis, in online English learner's dictionaries, in light of the link between these pedagogical tools, directed at a target audience of young foreign language users (Wirag, 2021, p. 46), and the youth's increasing concern over the climate emergency (Buchholz, 2022; Cordis, 2023; Harrabin, 2021). For this purpose, this study explores the online editions of three major British dictionaries for learners, namely, the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, the Collins-Cobuild Advanced Learner's Dictionary, and the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. These resources have been selected because their lexicographers simultaneously converged on this semantic field to identify the Words of the Year 2019, based on the increasing sociocultural relevance of the ecological crisis in spoken and written communication. Preliminary findings show many differences in the treatment of environmental terms, the quantity and quality of lexicographic data significantly vary across the three reference works, and the divergences affect the ways in which dictionaries reflect the influence of climate change on language.
Prison for Fake News
Authors: Alkiviadou Natalie
Published: July 2024

In Cyprus, a new legislative proposal introduces a prison sentence of up to one year and/or a fine of up to EUR 3,000. I argue that criminally punishing fake news is absolutely horrifying for free speech, for media pluralism, and for democracy. Criminalizing fake news has a “chilling effect” and it causes a self-censorship by media, civil society organizations, and average citizens. Moreover, the concept of fake news is highly ambiguous and its criminalization is counterproductive as it is not reducing the problematic content but “often draws more attention to it.”

La infancia es una etapa crucial en el desarrollo de habilidades fundamentales que servirán de base para toda la vida. Entre estas habilidades, la lectoescritura ocupa un lugar preeminente, pues no solo permite la comunicación efectiva, sino que también abre las puertas al conocimiento, la imaginación y el pensamiento crítico. El presente libro, "Aprestamiento a la Lectoescritura en Niveles Preescolares", se dedica a explorar y desarrollar estrategias efectivas para guiar a los niños en este proceso fundamental desde sus primeros años de vida. En la sociedad actual, la alfabetización temprana ha adquirido una importancia sin precedentes. Estudios recientes han demostrado que los niños que comienzan su educación en un entorno que promueve la lectoescritura desde edades tempranas, no solo desarrollan mejores habilidades lingüísticas, sino que también muestran un mayor desempeño académico en general. Sin embargo, la tarea de enseñar a leer y escribir a niños en edad preescolar no es simple ni trivial. Requiere una comprensión profunda de los procesos de desarrollo infantil, así como de las metodologías pedagógicas más adecuadas para este grupo etario.

Authors: Arroyo Moya Wilson
Published: July 2024

The objective was to analyze the evidence focused on the relationship of the ACTN3 R577X gene with flexibility and joint motion ranges and its influence on sports injuries. A systematic review of the literature was carried out applying the guidelines established in the PRISMA statement on the association of the ACTN3 gene with flexibility and joint range of motion. The search on PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus and Google Scholar included original studies available in full text from January 2014. Deficiency of alpha-actinin-3 (Genotype XX) represented significantly greater flexibility and range of motion in most studies. In addition, it is associated with lower muscle stiffness. A relationship between ACTN R577X and muscle stiffness is evident, where the RR genotype would represent a greater risk of injury in sports that require high flexibility. The genetic component could be considered in injury prevention programs.

Published: July 2024

School sports are beneficial to schools, communities and society as a whole in that they can prevent delinquent behaviours, force commitment to rules, promote social control and teach societal/school values, among others. Deriving these benefits of school sports requires the optimal performance of school sports managers, who teach physical and health education (PHE) as a subject, games masters, house masters, head teachers and seconded school coaches. In this literature review, the JD-R theory was used to explore the literature regarding several potential job demands and job resources within the school sports management environment and how these can be matched for the optimum performance and productivity of school sports managers. It was established that there is a need to identify all possible physical, psychological, social or organizational demands and resources in school sports management to achieve optimal performance in school sports management. The JD-R literature suggests that organizations need to offer employees sufficient job challenges and resources, including feedback, social support, and skill variety, for optimal productivity.

Published: July 2024

This study aimed at investigating groundstroke forehand exercise’s effect on improving tennis athletes’ cardiorespiratory endurance (VO2Max) for six weeks. This quasi-experiment research was carried out using a randomized pre-test and post-test group design. The population of this research was 35 tennis athletes aged 12-14 years old. Using purposive sampling, the sample in this study was 20 people, and the sample was taken based on 12-14-year-old tennis athletes who were technically good. The exercise was divided into seven models, namely forehand turn core, forehand turn cone back cone, forehand forward-direction, forehand hurdle jump, forehand sideways, forehand turn cone center service to baseline, forehand one-way service center to baseline. Those exercise models have earned a decent category for use in training. An instrument used for measuring cardiorespiratory endurance (VO2Max) was multistage (bleep test). The data analysis for this study comprised descriptive analysis, prerequisite tests such as normality and homogeneity checks, and the application of the sample paired t-test to test hypotheses. Based on the results, groundstroke forehand training can improve the cardiorespiratory (VO2Max) of tennis athletes aged 12-14 years old for six weeks (p<0.05) Thus, this research can be a basis for coaches and athletes to improve cardiorespiratory or VO2Max. Further research is expected that groundstroke forehand exercise can be combined with other techniques or used to analyze the ability of tennis athletes.

Lower Back Pain (LBP) presents as discomfort in the lumbar region, leading to movement limitations. Addressing LBP requires specialized treatment to alleviate pain. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of combining deep tissue massage and stretching in healing low back pain injuries. This study adopted a pre-experimental design, employing a one-group pretest and posttest approach. The initial assessments (pretests) gauged LBP severity using VAS, Modified Schober Test, Fingertip to Floor, and ODI. Subsequently, a combination therapy of deep tissue massage and stretching is administered three times weekly over three weeks. Final assessments (posttest) are conducted. Participants, recruited from the LKP Rumah Sehat Mandiri clinic over the past five months, consisted of 20 individuals aged 20-60 years, sampled purposively. The study revealed significant improvements in pain, flexion, extension, right flexion, left flexion, and functional indicators following the combination therapy, with a significance value of 0.000, indicating a profound effect (p < 0.05). Notably, left flexion demonstrated a significance value of 0.001, further affirming the treatment's efficacy. The findings support the effectiveness of combining deep tissue massage and stretching in reducing LBP severity and promoting healing. Thus, this combined approach holds promise for managing LBP injuries effectively.

With the support of large-scale information technology, education assessment no longer aims at the administration of the education system and the decision-making needs of educational institutions as before, but can serve all groups or people who are interested in and participate in education. The pertinence and effectiveness of students’ ideological and political education can be improved based on the analysis of data. As political educators in colleges and universities, they must keep pace with the times, actively analyze the students’ thoughts and behaviors with BDA, so that students have reason to make decisions on ideological and political education, so as to improve the pertinence and effectiveness of students’ political education and serve students to become talents. Therefore, based on the students’ political network, this paper puts forward a wide range of methods and analysis. The results show that our method can effectively promote the evaluation of students’ political education.

The evolution of computer science and the innovations in language teaching methodologies have paved the way for computer-assisted language learning (CALL) technology to tackle pertinent challenges. While existing CALL systems primarily emphasize vocabulary and grammar acquisition, their evaluation mechanisms often rely on a limited set of criteria, resulting in a simplistic assessment of learners’ pronunciation skills. This oversight underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach. In response, this study targets Chinese college students’ English oral proficiency and aims to enhance the conventional computerized evaluation method. Our approach involves integrating multiple assessment parameters, including pitch, speed, rhythm, and intonation. For instance, pitch assessment is grounded on frequency central feature parameters, while speech speed evaluation considers speech duration, thus enriching the evaluation framework. Through experimental validation, the efficacy of our method in evaluating pitch, speed, rhythm, and intonation has been substantiated, reaffirming its reliability.

Two colorings have been introduced recently where an unrestricted coloring c assigns nonempty subsets of [ k ] = { 1 , … , k } to the edges of a (connected) graph G and gives rise to a vertex-distinguishing vertex coloring by means of set operations. If each vertex color is obtained from the union of the incident edge colors, then c is referred to as a strong royal coloring. If each vertex color is obtained from the intersection of the incident edge colors, then c is referred to as a strong regal coloring. The minimum values of k for which a graph G has such colorings are referred to as the strong royal index of G and the strong regal index of G respectively. If the induced vertex coloring is neighbor distinguishing, then we refer to such edge colorings as royal and regal colorings. The royal chromatic number of a graph involves minimizing the number of vertex colors in an induced vertex coloring obtained from a royal coloring. In this paper, we provide new results related to these two coloring concepts and establish a connection between the corresponding chromatic parameters. In addition, we establish the royal chromatic number for paths and cycles.

The dramatic changes that have taken place in Ukraine since the time of full-scale military operations have caused a fatal demographic, social and economic crisis, which has led to significant changes in people’s lifestyles, migration of a large number of Ukrainian citizens who have to adapt to the new living conditions and integrate into the receiving country. This definitely affected the social attitudes and mental states of both the forced (war) migrants and the receiving nations, who also have to adapt to coexistence with representatives of other culture. Among the main factors that hinder the social and psychological adaptation of forced migrants in the new settings are the following: language barrier, lack of communication within the Polish community, difficulties related to the legalization of stay, and working in a field unrelated to their specialization. The lack of constructive communication and interaction with local residents leads to the appearance of maladaptive feelings in forced migrants ‒ alienation, social isolation, uselessness and futility. Further development and self-realization of an individual in society depends on the result of social and psychological adaptation. A significant factor influencing one’s adjustment to a new reality is the position (active or passive) an individual adopts that is, the readiness to accept the existing situation and change one’s attitudes, behavior and way of life. This choice determines various personal strategies of adaptive behavior. Social integration of migrants is a two-way process characterized not only by adaptation (in social, economic, cultural and psychological aspects) of people to a new environment, but also by the reaction of hosting society to changes and its adaptation to migrants as well. Therefore, it is important to develop a strategy of behavior 42 | WEEReview 13 | 2024 and interaction on the basis of tolerance and mutual understanding that would satisfy both parties.

The background to this research and development is that researchers found students' difficulties and lack of interest in learning Arabic vocabulary. Apart from that, there is a lack of other media that supports learning Arabic vocabulary, while the facilities at SDN Kertorejo 2 are quite adequate. So students need interesting media, in this case in the form of image media. The creation and development of this learning media was carried out to overcome the problems faced by students at SDN Kertorejo 2. The researcher chose a design from the Canva application and then designed it attractively so that it could be accepted and liked by students so as to increase their interest in learning Arabic, especially vocabulary to improve speaking skills. Arabic. Researchers use research methods with a research and development approach. Previous researchers conducted observations and interviews with students at SDN Kertorejo 2. After obtaining the necessary data, the researchers created learning media in accordance with the students' expectations and needs and still referred to the applicable curriculum. Then the researchers applied learning media to students at SDN Kertorejo 2 who, although they still experienced several problems and obstacles, these problems could still be overcome with other facilities and equipment available at the school. In the application of image media carried out on second grade students in elementary schools, it can be concluded that the use of image media in learning Arabic vocabulary in the book "Ro'sun Sirah" to develop speaking skills is very satisfying and helps facilitate students' memorization and pronunciation of Arabic vocabulary appropriately. with basic competencies in the learning curriculum.
