The Indo-Pacific region as a geopolitical "pivot" of the 21st century
Authors: Beriša Hatidža
Published: April 2024

The subject of the paper refers to the analysis of the geostrategic importance of the Indo-Pacific region and the geopolitical movements and events in it at the beginning of the 21st century. The rise of China as a political, economic, and military power is the most important event in the transformation of the global international system, which, until recently, was sovereignly ruled by the USA. This geopolitical reality directed the world's attention from the Euro-Atlantic to the Indo-Pacific region. In addition, the economic growth of the region, in inseparable synergy with political and military strategic interests, represents a major challenge to the long-standing US dominance in the Indo-Pacific region. The transformation of China into a regional power with global aspirations has changed the structure of regional relations, undermining the recently unquestioned American hegemony in this part of the world. The paper will focus on the basic geopolitical developments in the Indo-Pacific region, the new geopolitical "pivot" of the 21st century. The research used the content analysis method of the numerous relevant sources in which the Indo-Pacific region is considered, which includes a large expanse of water and land, where this specificity is reflected in the fact that the most significant "geopolitical game" today is related to the events in the waters of the South China Sea. The method of analysis and deduction in considering the character form and relationship of the rise of China as a political, economic, and military power and the events in
James Junker: Post-cold war horizons of the World State
Authors: Gajić Aleksandar
Published: April 2024

Starting from the circumstances in the post-Cold War period, the Paper provides a cross-section through theoretical works that are trying to revive interest in the idea of global supranational integration, ie the idea of the World State, regardless of whether they treat it affirmatively, ambivalently or negatively. Then, among the rare examples of affirmative attitude towards the realization of the idea of the World State, the work is focused on the proposal of the American economist James Junker presented in his books "World Union on the Horizon" (1993) and "The Idea of World Government: From Ancient Times to the 21st Century" (2011). The Paper, using analytical and synthetical methods, analyzes in detail Junker's economic views and institutional proposals for building a "minimal" World State (which he calls the Federal Union of Democracies) as well as his global plan to bridge the gap between the rich North and the poor South, which he sees as main obstacle of supranational integration. The final part of the Paper gives a critical review of Junker's ideas, which takes into account modern economic and political processes at the time of the emergence of a multipolar world. The growth of a multipolar world on the remains of its bipolar and unipolar predecessors shows other economic tendencies than those predicted by Junker. The new regional centers of power are interconnected and have their own interregional initiatives based on mutual benefit, beyond the West and its plans to reduce the economic gap between North and South. Now poor South isn't waiting for help from the developed North (i.e., the West), but it is getting the basis for independent development from the East, ie. its strengthening centers of power. All in all, although evidently flawed, one-sided, and naive, Junker's moderate proposal for a Federal Union of global reach stands as one of the few original proposals for a "minimum" World State in the post-Cold War era. With all his atypicality, Junker's proposal maintains the hope of the proponents of the idea of the World state who are still convinced that the risks of embarking on such ventures are not only justified but also necessary, taking into account the potential advantages of global political integrations both in the field of economy, politics, social sphere and ecology

Conflicts are part of our everyday lives, and they occur both in private and work environment. In every organization, we face conflicts. In order to enable the organization to function better, it is important to manage conflicts correctly. The purpose of the research is to check what types of conflict management are used by employees in the organization and whether and how managers manage conflicts. The results show that a culture of avoidance dominates the organization in question, so we suggest that both employees and managers learn how to properly manage conflicts, which would lead to a better organizational culture in the long run.
Integrating self-powered disaster recovery networks with environmental monitoring for enhanced disaster preparedness and response
Authors: I. Ali Qutaiba , A. Ibrahim Nawar
Published: April 2024

This paper investigates a comprehensive approach to enhancing environmental monitoring services within a self-powered Disaster Recovery Network (DRN) infrastructure. The study introduces a variety of solutions aimed at overcoming logistical challenges associated with establishing an environmentally conscious DRN infrastructure. Moreover, the research explores the intrinsic factors governing the system’s behavior, defines essential evaluation metrics, and delineates performance measurements. The Wireless Solar Router (WSR) is specifically introduced using the Ubicom IP 2022 platform to realize the Ad hoc wirelessly networked nodes of the DRN infrastructure. To advance the field further, the paper proposes an experimental platform for comprehensive evaluation, assessing network performance, practicality, power efficiency, and resilience to various scenarios. A comprehensive design process is illustrated, and the required values of the system elements, i.e., the number of solar cell panels, the capacity of the battery cells, etc., are adjusted to fulfill the design purposes. In order to reduce the power utilization of the recommended WSR and to lengthen the duration of their batteries, a new distributed power management scheme called Duty Cycle Estimation-Event Driven Duty Cycling (DCE-EDDC) was suggested and installed locally in the WSRs in order to decrease their power consumption and extend the lifetime of their batteries. The suggested method is compared with other duty cycling methods, and the proposed DRN system is also compared with other real-world implementations to show its usefulness in building a green DRN infrastructure.

This research addresses the critical challenge of accurate diagnosis of kidney disease using the Fuzzy Unordered Rule Induction Algorithm (FURIA). The objectives of this study are twofold: first, to develop a novel approach leveraging FURIA models with a heightened sensitivity to severe instances in kidney disease datasets; and second, to evaluate the impact of varying the 'N' parameter, controlling the minimum weights of instances within splits, on the overall performance of the model. Motivated by the paramount importance of early and accurate detection of severe cases of kidney disease, our research proposes a methodology that integrates Gaussian membership functions tailored to the characteristics of specific kidney disease datasets. The background of the study emphasizes the significance of robust diagnostic tools in nephrology and the potential of fuzzy rule-based systems to enhance sensitivity to severe instances. Preliminary results demonstrate promising outcomes, suggesting that the proposed FURIA-KD framework effectively identifies severe cases, paving the way for improved diagnostic precision and patient outcomes in kidney disease.

Introduction: To identify risk factors and prognostic tools for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), an aggressive ovarian cancer, this study assessed the frequency of BRCA2 mutation in early-onset ( 50 years old) and late-onset (> 50 years old) EOC and variation of systemic immune-inflammatory indices, especially among herbal medicine- and chemotherapy-experienced patients. Methods: This study included 100 patients diagnosed with EOC from Jan. 2016 to Dec. 2021. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), platelets-neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio (PNLR), and neutrophils-to-lymphocytes platelets ratio (NLPR) were assessed and analyzed accordingly. Significance was set at p< 0.05. Result: The frequency of early menarche, serous adenocarcinoma, in-hospital death, and late-stage disease was 3.3, 1.6, 1.7, and 1.4 times higher among patients with early-onset EOC compared with their late-onset counterparts (p= 0.001, 0.025, 0.063, and 0.397, respectively). The frequency of BRCA2 mutation, hypertension, and diabetes was 2.5, 2.5, and 5.7 times higher among the latter than among the former (p= 0.001, 0.006, and 0.064, respectively). The pre-/post-treatment PNLR were 1.7/2.3 times significantly higher in cases of in-hospital death (1016.0  169.4/ 750.5  193.2) than in patients who were stable on discharge (591.60  25.3/325.3  35.3 at p= 0.044 and 0.013, respectively. There was a significant decline of pre-to-post-chemotherapy PNLR in the Stages I/II cases and an insignificant decline in Stages III/IV cases (p= 0.003 and 0.433, respectively). The post-treatment PNLR, PLR, and TWBC of herbal medicine-experienced patients were 5.6, 1.6, and 1.5, higher than the post-treatment values of naïve counterparts, respectively (p< 0.05). Conclusion: This study revealed a high frequency of aggressive early-onset EOC and a higher frequency of BRCA2 mutation in late-onset EOC. It also revealed better treatment outcomes among patients who received at least four courses of chemotherapy and poor treatment outcomes among patients with a history of herbal medicine uptake. It suggests that NLR, PNLR, and PLR could be used to monitor disease progression.

Introduction: The full blood count (FBC) is a routine assay that provides information on all the blood cells, such as erythrocytes, leucocytes, and platelets. The FBC results are usually accompanied by histograms which are applicable for making a preliminary prediction of many disease states. In this study, we assessed the utility of FBC histograms among health workers and their knowledge of its interpretation. Methods: An online quantitative cross-sectional survey designed using Google forms were conducted from April to May 2022. The convenience sampling method was used to invite health workers to the survey that demanded that they answer questions that assessed their levels of utility and knowledge on the interpretation of FBC histograms. Data collected was analysed using the IBM SPSS version 26 using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The final analysis involved responses from 206 health workers who were made up of 133 (64.4%) males and 73 (35.4%) females. The results indicated that a greater portion of respondents makes use of FBC results (94.7%), 73.8% use FBC analyzers that produce histograms. However, only a small number (30.6%) use FBC histograms in diagnosing patients. A large majority of respondents (80.6%) demonstrated poor knowledge of the FBC histogram with the remaining demonstrating average (14.6%) and good (4.9%) knowledge. Conclusion: The level of knowledge on FBC histograms is highly inadequate among Ghanaian healthcare professionals and requires urgent attention. We recommend that relevant healthcare professionals should be given continual refresher training on the interpretation of FBC and its histograms to aid in patient management.

Language is a communication tool used to express an idea or emotion. In linguistics, language is comprehensively explored with the aim of developing understanding and is also used for research. In analyzing the meaning of language, a pragmatic understanding is required. Pragmatics is a linguistic field that examines the interplay between the function and form of speech acts. This research primarily focuses on the analysis of expressive and directive speech acts. Expressive speech acts involve utterances that convey the feelings or thoughts experienced by the speaker. On the other hand, directive speech acts involve utterances intended to encourage or trigger action from the listener. This research aims to obtain, examine, and discuss a variety of speech acts found in educational science-themed videos on the YouTube channel "Kok Bisa?". This research is a qualitative descriptive study using a theoretical approach, namely a pragmatic approach. The data used consists of a number of utterances in the videos. The data collection technique used is observation and note-taking. Data analysis is carried out using distributional and correlational techniques. Data presentation is done formally and informally. The potential value of this study lies in its capacity to offer insights to the author and researchers concerning expressive and directive speech acts found in utterances. The practical benefits of this research will be obtained by those in the field of science, educators, learners, and language researchers as a basis, reference, and teaching material concerning expressive and directive speech acts found within utterances. In the science videos on the "Kok Bisa?" YouTube channel, 26 expressive speech acts and 36 directive speech acts were identified from nine selected videos. This analysis reveals that directive speech acts in the form of questioning dominate these videos, enabling two-way interaction through viewer comments.
