Comparison of Maxillary Central Incisor, Crown Angulation and Tooth Size Variation in Aesthetic and Non-aesthetic Smiles- A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Shyagali Tarulatha Revanappa , Singh Rachita , Tiwari Anil , Gupta Abhishek
Published: July 2021

Background: An attractive smile is often attributed to incisor alignment and proclined or retroclined incisors could contribute to a less aesthetic smile. Objectives: This study was aimed to evaluate the maxillary central incisor crown inclination, crown angulation and tooth size variation in aesthetic and unattractive smiles. Methods: The study was conducted among 100 females (equally divided into aesthetic and unaesthetic smile groups), aged between 15 - 25 years, with Angle’s Class I normal occlusion and balanced profiles. Variations in maxillary central incisor crown inclination and angulation were measured on lateral cephalograms, photographs and the study models of the subjects. Variations in tooth morphology were also evaluated by measuring crown height and width in both groups. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to evaluate the difference between the aesthetic and unaesthetic smiles. P < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: This study showed that incisor angulation was significantly higher in the unaesthetic group compared to the aesthetic group (P < 0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference for the incisor inclination relative to the Palatal Plane between the aesthetic and unaesthetic smile groups (P = 0.086). In addition, there were significant differences between the aesthetic and the non-aesthetic groups regarding the central incisor height (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that the possible variations in aesthetics are related to the ethnic elements that are associated with differences in crown angulations, as well as tooth size.
The expression of architect Milosav Miša Mitić (1932-1970) in the 1960s: The search, crystallization and maturity
Authors: Anđelković Goran
Published: July 2021

The subject of the research is the beginning of the design work and professional engagement of architect Milosav Miša Mitić in the 1960s. Until now, this period of Mitić's design practice and construction activity has not been the subject of any scientific research, and it has still not been assessed in architectural historiography. The aims of the paper are to shed light on the lesser-known facts about Mitić's work at the beginning of his professional career, to determine the basic characteristics of his practice and to critically re-examine his contribution to the overall picture of Serbian architecture in the second half of the twentieth century. The scientific analysis covers significant unrealized and accomplished architectural achievements, both independently in the project studio Atrium (1956-1959), and jointly within the architectural group Belgrade Five (1954-1970). It examines in detail Mitić's developmental creative path in three phases (1956-1960): the search for authorial expression during the 1950s in the project studio Atrium, when his authorial duality comes to the fore, imbued with a strong sense of modus operandi and modus vivendi; crystallization of the author's expression within a five-member group, through a series of competitions and the first major accomplished project in the first housing estate within the Central zone of New Belgrade; and reaching full authorial maturity in his first major independent contracted design and construction project, for the EFGH local community center complex, with the S-10 commercial and residential tower. This is historical evidence of the possible different physiognomy of the future center of New Belgrade, with its recognizable architecture.
The dream of wholeness: The poetics of the unpredictable
Authors: Mojsilović Mila
Published: July 2021

By redefining the notion of fragmentarity and existing theoretical conceptions, from romantic fascination with ruins to the contemporary position of variability, the paper places incompleteness as the essential potentiality of form, imagination and contingency in a way that opens new spacetime categories. In the paper, fragmentation is understood as a model for interpreting reality and for examining the capacity of architectural incompleteness. Setting complexity as the context, change as the method and variability as the model for understanding the architectural contemporaries within its reality, spatial and temporal uncertainty become characteristics of the fragmentation and destabilization of relations - their reflection. This way of structuring order out of chaos, or destabilizing order for the purpose of new structures, is the complexity of a higher order. The uncaptured nature of all things, in distracting the new, transports its own limitations, thematized through places of change, separation and path - specific singularities, allowing flexibility through imperfection. The elusive nature of all things, in opening to the new, transcends its own limitations, thematizing itself through places of change, separation and cracking. These are specific singularities that allow flexibility through incompleteness, thus opening up towards new forms of reality, between uncertainty and indeterminacy - in the zone of their overlap, space and time become fragmented. This true spontaneity is the greatest complexity that carries within itself the power of change and essential potentiality - a meaning that is always just emerging. The question of the degree of incompleteness is in the core of the concept of openness, in which the alteration of form and geometry take place.
Determining architectural composition through infrastructural tenets
Authors: Kordić Nemanja
Published: July 2021

Today, in the 21st century within the context of the neoliberal market, architecture has become a tool of capital, demanding minimal investment with maximum spatial and environmental performance. Permanent changes that follow the rapid development of an information-based society imply an infrastructural take on the architectural composition, which has become increasingly programmatically unstable and market driven. Therefore today, an architectural composition traditionally understood as a set of part to-whole relations on three basic levels: form, function (program and its performance) and structure, can be perceived through the relations between volume, program range and infrastructure (which integrates the structural and performative aspects). Beginning with the hypothesis that socio-economic changes alter the conceptions of infrastructure in the design process, and understanding ways to transform the architectural composition, a set of key historical moments and relations are established between the development of: architectural tools and methodologies, norms and policies of spatial and energy efficiencies, and understanding infrastructure as an omnipresent element within the architectural composition. In urban design and architectural design, two terms can be distinguished: infrastructural ground - a term that brings infrastructure closer to the architecture scale, and infrastructural tenets, which are methods in the design process used to evaluate the spatial efficiency and the capacities for programmatic change, determining the relation between transformations within the design process and those of a completed project. Therefore, a new design approach is needed to define the capacities of programmatic transformations that can follow different models: flexibility, performativity and process, while maintaining the optimal spatial efficiency. The research showed that the choice of a transformational strategy depends on the program and envelope typologies to determine a project-specific infrastructural tenet - the layout of infrastructural elements which is located and quantified using the basic spatial efficiency parameters and indicators. As a launching point for further research, a theoretical matrix is proposed for four envelope typologies and three dominant program typologies, followed by a list of basic spatial efficiency parameters to loosely describe their infrastructural layouts.
Towards a critical and reflective planner: A contribution to improved practice using the case study of the 'Avala Film' complex
Authors: Maruna Marija , Graovac Ana
Published: July 2021

The aim of this paper is to illustrate the results of the pedagogical approach that was created to develop the competencies of a critical and reflective professional. The pedagogical approach was developed for the master's level Planning Theory course at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade. The specifics of the pedagogical approach stemmed from the need to consider a number of new issues relevant to improving planning practices, planning systems and the domain of spatial development in Serbia, which have emerged during the period of transitional reforms in Serbia since 2000. The case of preparing the plan of detailed regulation for the Avala Film complex in Kosutnjak, which was also the subject of the work of students in the school year 2020/21, was taken as a testing ground to illustrate the approach. The methodological steps in the analysis of the case clearly indicated the following problems in the field of spatial development: a) urban plans serve as an instrument for the alienation of publicly owned land, b) public policies are selectively considered in the decision-making process on spatial development, c) formal planning procedures are insufficiently clear and have gaps in formulations, which creates space for ambiguous interpretations, d) decision-making positions on strategic development priorities and issues of public interest are not clearly defined and e) key issues on spatial development are resolved in the domain of political rather than professional decision-making. Based on the analysis of the planning process for the Avala Film complex, recommendations for improving planning practice, i.e. the spatial governance system in Serbia are made. They are essentially aimed at improving the legislative system in the decision-making process, with an emphasis on formalizing positions of competence, determining mechanisms for the alienation of public property, improving the transparency of procedures and re-positioning the role of the profession in that process.
Towards a Humean epistemic ideal: Contested alternatives and the ideology of modern science
Authors: Demeter Tamás
Published: July 2021

I suggest that it is fruitful to read Hume's Enquiry concerning Human Understanding as a concise exposition of an epistemic ideal whose complex philosophical background is laid down in A Treatise of Human Nature. Accordingly, the Treatise offers a theory of cognitive and affective capacities, which serves in the Enquiry as the foundation for a critique of chimerical epistemic ideals, and the development of an alternative ideal. Taking the "mental geography" of the Treatise as his starting point, this is the project Hume pursues in the Enquiry. The epistemic ideal Hume spells out in the Enquiry is an alternative to competing ideals: the Aristotelian, the Cartesian, and the Newtonian, and can be read as an exposition of the epistemic ideal of modern science. Although the spell of the Aristotelian and the Cartesian ideals had been in decline for several decades by the 1740s, they had not fully lost their grip on the philosophical imagination. Yet, it was the Newtonian epistemic ideal that became dominant in Scotland and Britain by then, guiding inquiry in moral and natural philosophy, as well as in medical theory. Hume offers a critique of these ideals. He shows that Aristotelian and Cartesian epistemic aspirations rest on mistaken views on human cognitive capacities. And albeit the Newtonian ideal is not prone to this mistake by Hume's standards, its epistemic expectations extend far beyond the limits of those capacities. Hume's epistemic ideal can be read as a correction, limitation and refinement of the Newtonian ideal: it sets epistemic aims and propagates methods for the production of fallible, limited and potentially useful knowledge that falls short of the great epistemic expectations of Newton and many Newtonians - but it conforms to what we expect from modern science.
The role of the 'Natural history of religion' in Hume's critique of religious belief
Authors: Goodnick Liz
Published: July 2021

I argue that Hume's naturalistic explanation of religious belief in the Natural History of Religion has significant epistemic consequences. While he argues in the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (and in other works) that belief in God is not justified on the basis of testimony or philosophical argument, this is not enough to show that religious belief is not warranted. In the Natural History, Hume provides a genetic explanation for religious belief. I contend that the explanation of religious belief in the Natural History, given Hume's conclusions in his other works, provides grounds to reject religious belief. Thus, I conclude that the Natural History plays an important role in Hume's overall critique of religion insofar as it is a necessary component in Hume's arsenal against the warrant of religious belief.
As "Men of Sense": Godwin, Baroja, Bateson and Hume's "Of National Characters"
Authors: Mazza Emilio
Published: July 2021

Men of sense, Hume says, condemn the extreme undistinguishing judgments concerning national characters; yet, he adds, they also allow that each nation has a national character or a peculiar set of resembling manners. Hume's "Of national characters" was published at the end of 1748 in unclear circumstances, but it is still the object of several discussions for different reasons. William Godwin, Julio Caro Baroja and Gregory Bateson seem to refer to it, even though only the first two acknowledge it. Godwin uses it as a weapon to attack the climatic theory in the service of tyranny; Baroja as a sceptical solvent to destroy all mythical national character and real national prejudice; Bateson as a model to delineate an abstract frame for the research on national differences. Since, as Hume warns us, we run with avidity to give our evidence to what flatters our national prejudices and, as Mary Wollstonecraft denounces, we are eager to give a national character to every people, "Of National Characters" still provides us with acute and instructive remarks: to speak of national characters does not necessarily means that we are speaking in favour of nationalism and against the individuals.
Analysis of (un)official discourses on drug use in Serbia
Authors: Ljubičić Milana
Published: July 2021

In the article, we analyse discourse on drug abuse in contemporary Serbia. The ruling official discourse on drugs can be subsumed under the definition of moral panic, in creation of which, as well in dissemination, the media play an important role. Media uses specific vocabulary to send message warning of an impending social catastrophe. This tactic is effective: recipients of media content become anxious and frightened by the downfall of the society that awaits them in the near future. So logically they are converting into supporters of official discourses on the topic. In the end, this process has the power to briefly connect a shredded tissue of social cohesion, but also to produce a lack of freedom of citizens. In order to investigate whether drug-related moral panics in our country can have such implications, in this paper we analyzed the official discourse embodied in anti-drug policies, and the public discourse offered by media. Findings suggest that policymakers are calling on war against drugs, and name prevention and criminalization as the most successful strategies to fight it. The recipients of media content are agreeing with them. Furthermore, there is no doubt that such o discourse encourages the spread of moral panic about drugs, as well as social cohesion. Although abstractly defined, the enemy - drug, has the power to unite. However, it also causes a lack of freedom. Because of the narrative of the impending catastrophe, the citizens feel powerless and therefore demand from the higher state authorities to act in the name of the social future.
The presumption of innocence in EU law: One step forward, two steps backwards
Authors: Nenadić Svetlana
Published: July 2021

The topic of the paper is the presumption of innocence in EU law and the case law of the Court of Justice EU. The paper begins by outlining legal regulation of the presumption of innocence in the Charter of fundamental rights of the EU and the Directive on certain aspects of the presumption of innocence and of the right to be present at the trial in criminal proceedings. The second part of the paper analyzes the case law of the Court of Justice EU in the application of the Directive with special reference to the presumption of innocence standards of the European Court of Human Rights. The paper points out the minimalistic orientation of the CJEU regarding the presumption of innocence, which in some elements lowers the standards of protection offered by ECtHR. Low standards threaten to produce a domino effect on the criminal courts in EU member states, which could create a risk to the presumption of innocence as a guarantee of the legitimacy of criminal proceedings.
Lean meat content of pig carcasses in the eight slaughterhouses in the region of Vojvodina, Serbia
Authors: Radović Ivan , Polovinski-Horvatović Miroslava , Mirkov Mile , Malešević Savo
Published: July 2021

The end product of the pig production is carcass. Lean meat content is a measure of the quality of the carcass. Serbia is one of only a few countries in Europe which has not yet adopted the practice of pig's carcasses classification and failed to regulate this issue through legislation. The purpose of this work was to measure lean meat content in carcasses probed in several slaughterhouses in the Province of Vojvodina (northern Serbia) and to classify them according to the SEUROP classification. In total it was classified 65764 pig carcasses in eight different slaughterhouses. The lean mean content was measured on the slaughter line 45 minutes post mortem with the one-point puncture model. The measurement was carried out with the optoelectronic probe for the classification of pig carcasses CLASSPRO GmbH (Germany). The percentage of meat in the carcass was calculated using the mathematical model. In all eight slaughterhouses in which the measurements were done there was no poor quality (P class) pig carcass. The majority of carcasses were in the class E-excellent (35545 carcasses or 54.05% in total) and U-very good (25864 carcasses or 39.33% in total). However, a very small number of the carcasses were in the superior class with more than 60% of lean meat content, only 2072 carcasses or 3.15% in total. Any future effort which the government would put in the implementation of the system of pricing of pigs based on the carcass characteristics would have enormous effect on the pig production in general. The pig producers would have the reason to invest in better farm management, selection in effort to improve the quality of the end products-pigs. In addition, the meat industry would certainly have benefits by having a higher quality raw material for further processing.

The potential association between determinants such as nutrition knowledge and dietary habits with obesity development among adolescents of generation Z (Zoomers) was investigated in the presented study. Data regarding meals consumption frequency, snack choice and familiarity with amounts of basic food nutrients in diet were gathered throughout a self-designed questionnaire from 854 adolescents (11-18 years) attending elementary and secondary schools in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. The corresponding data was analysed and discussed primarily concerning BMI-forage , and subsequently, gender and educational stage. The association between BMI categories and examined determinants was tested using chi-square and multinomial logistic regression statistics. Although most of the surveyed adolescents had normal weight (72.1%), a notable share of overweight adolescents was also detected (17.9%). Additionally, observed irregularities in breakfast and dinner consumption frequencies and participants' modest nutrition knowledge can contribute to further diet deterioration. Statistically significant but weak associations between BMI-forage and choice of snack, dinner consumption frequency, as well as the frequency of salty snack and fast food consumption, were noted. Furthermore, an increase in nutrition knowledge was inversely associated with obesity prevalence (OR 6.56, 95% CI 1.388-31.037). As an outcome, the need for improvement regarding studied determinants especially nutrition knowledge is established and represents a task to achieve through health promotion strategies among generation Z.
Odnos teksta i ilustracije - perspektiva ilustratora i učitelja
Authors: Lalić-Vučetić Nataša , Ševa Nada
Published: July 2021

Illustrations as an effective means of communication help children to understand what they have read, enriching at the same time their vocabulary and ultimately influencing children's motivation and achievement. The aim of this paper is to determine how teachers and illustrators perceive and understand the relationship between a text and an illustration in a primer. A qualitative research was conducted using a focus group with primary school teachers and an interview with an illustrator. The research results show that from the illustrator's and teachers' narratives one can single out, on one hand, the categories related to and explaining the relationship between a text and an illustration, and on the other hand, the categories describing the scope of the illustrator and the teachers in the process of text and illustration integration, as well as their motivation. A critical attitude of the illustrator and the teachers towards publishing, as well as the importance of illustration, was a common point in the narratives, where they emphasized that it is necessary to have a measure in order to establish the relationship between a text and an illustration in general. It was observed that the responsibility for the integration of texts and illustrations should be shared by all participants in creating the final textbook/primer, and that it is necessary to emphasize the need to connect the authors and illustrators during the creation of the relationship between a text and an illustration on one page of the primer/ textbook. It is additionally important to develop a further framework for teacher education in terms of emphasizing the importance of illustration in the learning process in teaching.
Individualizacija u nastavi - konceptualno-metodološki izazov za didaktičku teoriju i nastavnu praksu
Authors: Radović Vera , Mihajlović-de Oliveira , Todović Teodora
Published: July 2021

The paper presents the results of the theoretical analysis of the scientific (original scientific papers, reviews, and short scientific papers) and professional papers investigating the problem of individualization in teaching, that were published in the Teaching Innovations journal from 1983, when the first issue of the journal was published, until the last published issue No. 4 in 2020. The aim of the research in this paper was to critically inspect how the problem of individualization in teaching was treated in the research papers published in the journal and to draw lessons about the conceptual and methodological approaches and implications for teaching practice in modern terms. The units for theoretical analysis were: the number of the relevant papers in relation to the total number of the papers by the year of publication of the journal, the type of the papers according to the current classification of papers published in the journal, theoretical aspects from which the authors consider the problem of individualization in teaching, and methodological approach. The results of the research show that during 33 years of publishing the Journal, 63 papers have been published that research the problem of individualization in teaching; the majority of the papers are professional papers; analytical approach prevails in the research (literature analysis and analysis of specific classes). The authors usually start from a general didactic approach, while methodological aspect is most common in the treatment of individualization in the Serbian language teaching and mathematics teaching. Based on the results of the analysis, some implications are pointed out from the aspect of development of student competencies and professional competencies of teachers.
Ortoepija u programima za mlađe razrede osnovne škole
Authors: Stakić Mirjana
Published: July 2021

We point out the importance of working on the correct articulation of sounds and analyze the representation of orthoepy in the curricular contents for the subject Serbian Language in the lower grades of primary school. The results of the content analysis show that the importance of a continuous work on the correct articulation of sounds has not been recognized in the new curricula. The work on the pronunciation of sounds is included only in the curriculum for the first grade. A comparative analysis of the old (2004, 2005, 2006) and new curricula (2017, 2018, 2019) has shown that the reform rejected all the contents that continuously extended the work on the pronunciation of sounds until the fourth grade. The state of the pronunciation norm in practice, confirmed by the research results, indicates numerous problems of atypical articulation that is not organic in nature. Therefore, the pedagogical implications are that the changes of and/or additions to the content of orthoepy related to the pronunciation of sounds should be included in the mother tongue curricula for the lower grades of primary school and made operational through outcomes as the functional knowledge of the pronunciation norm. These are the contents that were represented in the curricula before the reform, and they refer to the pronunciation of affricates (č, ć, dž, đ) and fricatives (h) in the third and fourth grades. This would enable continuity in the work of the practitioners which is necessary to correct the mistakes in the pronunciation of sounds that are not organic in nature and to strengthen the correct articulation.

The forms of organization supporting social interaction are favored in the pedagogical and didactical models of work of educational institutions of progressive orientation. Interaction between students during work in small groups is viewed as a significant factor in enabling them for a quality decision-making in the process of interactive work. The paper investigates whether, from teachers' perspective, the age of students is a significant predictor of the quality of decision-making during work in small groups. The attitudes of 162 teachers towards the quality of decisions that students make while working in small groups were examined by using the KDO-MG scale. The assumption that there is a tendency for the quality of decision-making to increase with the progression of students' age was verified by using a single linear regression analysis. The results confirmed that, according to teachers, the age of students can be considered a predictor of the quality of decision-making during work in small groups. It is a relatively weak, but stable prediction. Teachers do not question the positive effect of students' work in small groups, but they believe that it is slightly determined by their age, so that the older the students are, the higher the quality of decision-making during work in small groups.

The success of inclusive education, measured by the students' sense of belonging in school, has recently become the subject of numerous foreign research papers, while a modest number of papers on this topic can be found in our literature. Given that inclusive education has been present in our country for a decade, the aim of the research was to determine the level of the sense of belonging in a school environment of children with developmental difficulties in an inclusive environment. The sample consisted of 35 children with developmental difficulties from 11 primary schools in which inclusive education has been implemented for at least eight years. The research used the Sense of Belonging in School Scale adapted for the needs of the research with children with developmental difficulties. The results of the research obtained by the scaling technique showed that the majority of the students have a high level of the sense of belonging in their school, and no statistically significant difference was found in relation to the type of developmental difficulty. The highest degree of agreement with the statements was found in students with physical and sensory disorders, followed by students with intellectual disabilities, then disorders within the spectrum of autism, while students with behavioral difficulties agreed the least with the claims. The obtained results indicate a positive experience of students during schooling in inclusive classes.

Some studies have unequivocally indicated the links between the early development of metalinguistic consciousness and the later success of children in the acquisition of literacy, as well as with their integration into society. However, in the context of the methodology of speech development, the multiplicity of aspects of metalinguistic consciousness has not been thoroughly examined so far. This paper attempts to fill this gap and show a possible approach to the development of the metalinguistic consciousness and the metalanguage of speech function in children. The aim of the paper is twofold: a) to provide a systematic overview of the requirements that can examine and encourage metalinguistic awareness in children and b) to present a model of crossing the metalanguage tasks with traditional forms of play, so that the work on developing the metalinguistic awareness in preschool institutions can be carried out adequately, considering the cognitive and socio-emotional characteristics of the child - through metalinguistic games.

The most important feature of modern distance learning is the change of student position, which is reflected in the fact that students, although physically separated from the teacher and other students, can communicate with the teacher and cooperate with other students easily. Following the decision of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, the direct teaching in the classroom was stopped and online teaching was introduced. The research sought to determine the experiences of the primary school and subject teachers in relation to the implementation of distance teaching and learning. The total number of 534 teachers from primary schools from the territory of the AP Vojvodina participated in the research, and a questionnaire was created for the needs of the research. The results show that the respondents generally have a positive view of teaching via TV, but they believe that the way of organizing such lessons and the quality of the lessons should be improved. On average, the respondents expressed the view that the lower-grade students can follow the classes on TV more easily than others. The respondents singled out Viber and e-mail as the most useful means of communication with students and parents. The most common type of material distributed to students is textual material with an additional learning content. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the experiences of teachers are very diverse in terms of different aspects of the implementation of distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Difficulties in sensory processing can be a risk for the development of language, speech, as well as cognitive and motor abilities in children. The aim of the research was to investigate the relationship between the sensory and psychomotor abilities of children with developmental dysphasia and the socio-demographic characteristics of their primary families. The consequences of different developmental difficulties affect not only the child, but the parents as well. Gender, education, number of children, and birth order are some of the characteristics which can be significant for diagnozing and treatment of the developmental difficulties caused by developmental dysphasia. The sample consisted of 47 parents of preschool children with developmental dysphasia diagnose, which were included in logopedic treatment. The Modified Sensory Profile and the questionnaire about socio-demographic characteristics of the family were used in the research. The data were processed by descriptive statistics, t-test for independent samples, and ANOVA. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences on the psychomotor dimensions of sensory processing relative to the educational level of parents, but also the order of birth and the number of children. The data indicate that there is a great need for a wider spectrum of opportunities for intervention and support for the parents of children with developmental dysphasia by offering them different training sessions, as well as by including them in the physical activities which focus on the coordination abilities and fine motorics, especially when it comes to the preschool children.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Teaching represents the basic and most beneficial aspect of education. The quality of teaching is continually improved by the introduction of innovative teaching techniques and modern teaching methods. Contemporary pedagogical innovations pertaining to teaching are based on the application of information and communication technologies in education. Therefore, the educational computer software is one of the most systematic and most creative tools used in schools with the purpose of improving the concept of digital teaching practices. The educational computer software is an innovative teaching tool for an independent creation and presentation of teaching units by means of digital technologies whose purpose is the achievement of students' total and active commitment and motivation. The goal of this research was to examine the teachers' self-assessment regarding their ability to apply the educational computer software in their teaching practices. The methods used were the descriptive method and the scaling technique with the Likert-type scale (ORSON) containing 35 items. The research sample consisted of 500 teachers from Central and Southern Serbia. Four factors were extracted by the factor analysis, which explains 53.19% of the variance: digital competencies, the advantages of ORS, ORS as a teaching tool, and practical application. The research results show that teachers are qualified enough for the practical application of the educational computer software. Also, the analysis of their responses proves that they regard the educational computer software as a significant and innovative teaching tool. The research determined a statistically significant difference in the subjects' responses considering the independent research variables: gender, type of school, and teaching experience (p<0.05).
Pediatric tape

Published: July 2021

Introduction Care and management of a life threatened child is a stressful event per se, further aggravated by the need for precise calculation of medication doses, the amount of fluids for volume replacement and choosing the rightsized equipment based on child's weight and age, which is often an information unavailable at the scene of the emergency event. Objective Our objective was to make a pediatric tape modeled by Broselow tape, but modified for medications and overall conditions present in our region. The original Broselow tape is not available in our country. Method and materials For tailoring this pediatric tape we used the original Broselow tape. The connection between length/height of a child and its body weight was used in the same way, and then doses of medications and sizes of medical equipment were calculated for the appropriate age/body weight. Discussion Our pediatric tape has two measuring parts: measuring tape with colored zones and cards that follow the appropriate color. Tape is divided into nine zones with calculated doses of medications, the amounts of fluids for volume replacement and sizes of equipment for each zone. Conclusion Hoping that this pediatric tape will find its place and use in our region, we hereby open a discussion of our professional community regarding this accessory and its future potential.

Architecture through sport
Authors: Kreft Lev
Published: July 2021

We can find certain parallelism between architecture and sport in history (Rome) and in contemporaneity with spectacular sport as most global kind of entertainment, and recognizable sport architecture as sign of its universal presence. London Olympic Games 2012 followed slogan "Architecture for Humanity", adding ecological and social concern to more traditional idea of sport objects as modern cathedrals. Sport architecture has become a statement, and it embodies ideology which turns sport into reason for hope. Sport architecture is created on the field where standardization of space (and time) exists for more than hundred years, together with concentration of power in sport associations which, during these hundred years, changed their identity from civil society movements into capital enterprise institutions. Original meaning of "sport" (desportes, deport) as activity deported beyond regular and ordinary everyday life was extended into new region of space and time where mass media entertainment is produced. Contemporary sport architecture has to follow specifically sport rules for playground space, and rules of media presence. Sport places are spaces where massive audience watches the game, and were it watches itself watching - to be seen by massive media audience whose virtual presence is perhaps today the most important concern of architectural design for sport.

Published: July 2021

The text asks how dissent can be organized spatially. Although, taking recent developments in arts, architecture and urban planning into consideration, the focus is put on two projects of the artist and architect Apolonija Šušteršič: the café KAFIČ, commissioned by Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig, and the Community Pavilion in Hustadt, commissioned by the municipality of Bochum. Following these examples the text discusses the possibilities of how to transmute social antagonism into agonism thereby creating a vibrant public sphere that allows the expression of competing notions, opinions and approaches.
The co-optation of sensibility and the subversion of beauty
Authors: Berleant Arnold
Published: July 2021

The aesthetic analysis of everyday life has developed an important body of work whose significance extends beyond the academy. Because of its ubiquity in experience, aesthetic sensibility has many manifestations, both overt and concealed. This paper examines some largely hidden ways in which taste and aesthetic judgment, which are manifested in sense experience, have been subtly appropriated and exploited. I identify and describe such procedures as the cooptation (or appropriation) of aesthetic sensibility, a phenomenon that has consequences damaging to health, to society, and to environment. These practices are a form of negative aesthetics that distorts and manipulates sensible experience in the interest of mass marketing and political control. Such practices have great ethical significance and carry social and political implications that suggest another role for aesthetics, a critical one: aesthetics as an instrument of emancipation in social analysis and political criticism.
How to defend aesthetics?
Authors: Kreft Lev
Published: July 2021

Milan Damnjanović (1924-1994) published his aesthetic opus in the context of (Yugoslav) Marxist "overcoming" (Aufhebung) of aesthetics and of aesthetics' self-criticism expressed as the "crisis of aesthetics". To oppose both of these critical positions and at the same time reform aesthetics' ability to treat all aesthetic phenomena, but still keep art in special focus, he introduced the problem of immediacy of experience of the world by a human being. In his article "The Problem of Immediacy and Mediation in Marx's Thought" (1970) Damnjanović wanted to demonstrate the primacy of aesthetic dimension in immediacy and immediate mediation/reflection which can support philosophy's legitimate claim to organize it as an open system, and aesthetics' solidity as a discipline of such system. To achieve this purpose, he introduced an intertwined argumentation which combines his reading of Marx's philosophy of labour from Paris Manuscripts and from Capital with Helmut Plessner's esthesiology and Paul Valery's esthésique. To revisit Damnjanović's defence of the Whole, of philosophical systematicity, and of aesthetics' autonomous position as a discipline is an opportunity to argue that he pointed into the right direction, be it in taking Plessner and Valéry for support, or, in taking fundamental philosophical problem of immediacy/mediation as a foundation stone of the status of aesthetics.
The idea of "common sense" revisited: A contribution to an "aisthetic turn" of aesthetics
Authors: Otabe Tanehisa
Published: July 2021

We have been experiencing an "aisthetic turn" of aesthetics which focuses neither on our artistic experience or creation, nor on the idea of beauty, but on the aisthesis's role in our aesthetic appreciation, or rather on our aisthetetic consciousness of our being. The purpose of this paper is to revise the idea of "common sense" of Aristotle and Kant, aiming at reorganizing and reanimating their insights and thereby contributing to an "aisthetic turn" of aesthetics. Based on commonly held beliefs, there are two strands in the idea of "common sense": the Aristotelian idea of something intra-subjective that is common to the different senses in one individual and the Ciceronian idea of something inter-subjective that is common to different individuals. Kant's concept of common sense is regarded as belonging to the second strand. In contrast to such beliefs, I argue as follows: first, that in Aristotle there is already a productive germ of the second vein and, second, that Kant's aesthetics succeeds prominently Aristotelean concept of "common sense." What is at issue in the sensus communis in the broad sense is, therefore, our aisthetic consciousness of our own being or life. Put in a modern terminology, it is the aisthesis that guarantees the "feeling of realness" (Hannah Arendt) of ourselves and, therefore, also the world in which we live together with others.
The status of aesthetics today
Authors: Mandoki Katya
Published: July 2021

In this paper I argue for the possibility of expanding the field of aesthetics not only beyond art and beauty but also beyond everyday aesthetics (or prosaics) centered in human sensibility. This implies considering sensibility or aesthesis in all live beings to understand the vastness of bio-aesthetics. Part of this query is zoo-aesthetics. We have such growing evidence, enriched day by day, that animals are capable of creating, recreating, imitating, enjoying, exhibiting and expressing sensibility or aesthetic taste in various forms that it is harder to deny the more we record and witness their behavior. Moreover, as there are various artistic genres, we can equally speak of similar genres in zoo-poetics, namely: a) musical b) visual (both architectonic and decorative), c) drama, and d) dance. Are females enamored by the male bat or bird mating song? Do peahens feel pleasure at the sight of a male peacock's tail? As Nagel asked 'what is it like to be a bat?' I would really like to know what it is like to be a peahen. This full inquiry is being published in The indispensable excess of the aesthetics: evolution of sensibility in nature. (Lexington 2015).
The promise of media archeology
Authors: Čačinovič Nadežda
Published: July 2021

Media archeology offers a new and necessary tool in dealing with the plurality of phenomena we so indiscriminately - anachronistically or in other ways - recognize as art and classify as artworks. The paper tries to stress the difference in comparison with related viewpoints: the theories of cultural transmission, of the materiality of culture, of the logic of aesthetic regimes etc. One might call it "media before media" (and follow Kittler) or delve with Zielinski into the "Deep Time of the Media" with a good connection to the "history of the senses approach" or go straight with Jussi Parikka and Erkki Huhtamo and use "media archeology": it is always an acknowledgment of the protean nature of art and architecture.
Politicization of sensibility: The spectacle effect of colonial empire in the 1930s Seoul
Authors: Min Joosik
Published: July 2021

This paper aims to analyse the phenomena of the consumption culture in terms of the spectacle effects of the colonial empire, which were unprecedented prosperity in the 1930s in Seoul. The phenomena could be interpreted as the politicization of sensuality. The spatial change intensified the colonial differentiation of city that was segregated into the Southern Village for Japanese and the Northern Village for Koreans. It facilitated the modern homogenization of the urban space. Especially, department stores were invigorated as a powerful apparatus for consumer capitalism, inviting Koreans to Japanese street, transcending the spatial border of the colonial segregation. Manipulating the exhibition techniques of department store, Japanese Empire built up the visually attractive self-representation image, encouraging the colonized to experience the fascination of modem urban culture as crowds or spectators in the street. The spectacle of the Empire made new lines of cultural distinction based on the differentiation of social stratum inside the colonized community.
