Journalistic genres in the magazine "Leskovački glasnik" in 1927 and 1928 on the subject of women's right to vote
Authors: Grgov Aleksandra
Published: January 2025

The subject of our research are newspaper articles in the magazine "Leskovački glasnik" in 1927 and 1928 that deal with the issue of women's right to vote. The research starts from the following research questions: "Which journalistic genres were represented in the weekly between the wars of the 20th century when writing about women's political organization?" and "How specific structural-compositional elements of certain media content can serve the purpose of preserving the existing social order?" Qualitative content analysis was used in the paper, and the unit of analysis is the newspaper texts of the magazine "Leskovački glasnik" from 1927 and 1928. Newspapers, due to their practicality and availability, are means of access to knowledge on which a large number of social activities depend, therefore they can subtly influence the creation of public opinion and our perception of reality. Along with other socialization elements, the media play a significant role in the development of gender roles, but also in the creation and maintenance of gender stereotypes. Knowing the complexity of newspaper expression of different historical periods can help us in understanding the current socio-political reality presented through the prism of the media and be an incentive to fight against gender dichotomy, by researching its roots through the diversity of media expression.
Western Balkans in the Russian-Ukrainian war: The instrumentalization of the past through dominant political discourses in the media
Authors: Surlić Stefan , Milić Kristina
Published: January 2025

The beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to global tectonic changes that have also affected the countries of the Western Balkans. Due to the absence of confrontation with the past and unresolved status issues, the interpretations of the war in Ukraine received the expected self-projection.discourses, the narrative revival of old conflicts, and the strengthening of antagonisms on a national basis. In the political sphere, a self-victimizing discourse was created as another means ofinstrumentalizing the past conflict. The author's intention is to answer the question of how the war in Ukraine, through the dominating discourses of the political elites in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina and Kosovo, confirm the already existing ethnicized and onesided views of the past. The authors used critical discourse analysis with a methodological approach based on the discourse historical method by Ruth Wodak, which, by placing the topic in a specific socio-political context, willshow how the instrumentalization of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict by leaders becomes very useful for strengthening internal political support regarding sensitive national and status issues. The analysis identified two dominant self-victimizing discourses, the self-victimizing discourse of war victims and the self-victimizing discourse about the archenemy, which developed through the use of different discursive strategies.
Student attitudes toward the use of Facebook in higher education: Implications for the learning experience
Authors: Marković Marija , Stanisavljević-Petrović Zorica
Published: January 2025

In light of the growing importance of digital technologies and the rise of social networks, understanding the role of Facebook in higher education has become increasingly pertinent. This study aims to investigate university students' attitudes toward the use of Facebook as a tool for both direct and indirect academic engagement, with particular focus on its role in supporting learning, communication, and collaboration. A descriptive method was used, with data collected from 314 undergraduate students at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Niš. The results indicate that students highly value Facebook for information exchange and sharing academic materials, but are generally cautious about its direct application in learning processes. The study also examines the influence of independent variables (such as study program, academic performance, duration of Facebook use, and frequency of access) on student attitudes. The pedagogical implications of these findings may contribute to enhancing the use of Facebook and other digital platforms in higher education, both for direct academic purposes and broader educational experiences.
Teaching for social justice: Distributive justice and recognition justice perspective
Authors: Marković Milica , Stančić Milan
Published: January 2025

This paper aimed to analyse what teaching for social justice would look like from the perspective of distributive justice and recognition justice. Therefore, we first present the core ideas of the two views on social justice, and then we consider their implications for the goals, content, and methods of teaching. The analysis showed that teaching based on distributive justice would tend to maintain the established hierarchical relationships in society so that differences in the origin of students would not be respected in teaching, nor would interaction between students and critical thinking be encouraged, which would make it impossible to strengthen the individual capacities of students. The core task of such oriented teaching would be the compensation of resources for underprivileged students. Teaching based on the values of recognition justice would strive for the development of the student's identity and the recognition of the individual values and culture of each student. Such teaching would be interactive, aimed at critical reflection and examination of the causes of the position in which the students find themselves, while the main goal of education would be individual emancipation. The conception of teaching is never politically neutral and depends on the goal of society - to maintain cultural hegemony or to recognize and nurture the values of different social groups. Depending on that goal, teaching will be directed towards values of distributive or recognition justice.
Organizational school climate in city high schools from the perspective of teachers
Authors: Tadić Violeta , Kordić Boris
Published: January 2025

A positive organizational school climate is recognized as a significant factor in teacher well-being and student learning outcomes. This research examined the quality of the organizational school climate in high schools in the Republic of Serbia. A sample of 149 teachers from nine high schools completed a self-report questionnaire (77.9% male, and 22.1% female). Measures included the Organizational School Climate Scale - factors: School management and interactions (a = .96), and School commitment (a = .90). The results showed that the quality of the organizational school climate was high: School management and interactions (M = 4.30); School commitment (M = 4.44). Also, differences in the evaluation of the organizational school climate concerning the schools' locations were confirmed. Regarding the subscale School management and interactions, the results favored schools outside Belgrade t(147) = -3.64, p < .01, as well as regarding the subscale School commitment, where the commitment of teachers was more pronounced in schools outside Belgrade t(147) = -4.75, p < .01. The findings of this research have the potential to encourage reflection on the importance of promoting positive interactions among school members so that the school can achieve its mission and vision of positive education and upbringing of children.

Authors: Stevanović Nenad , Trajković Anđelija
Published: January 2025

The aim of the work is to examine the opinions of teachers and parents about partnership relations in order to improve students' communication skills in English. The research was conducted using two instruments specially constructed for the purposes of the research. The sample included 64 teachers and 65 parents from the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The obtained results show positive attitudes towards the development of partnership in both groups of respondents, but also the existence of a statistically significant difference between both groups, whereby the attitudes of parents are significantly more positive. The results of the research indicate the importance of the contribution of affirming positive interpersonal attitudes, both of teachers and parents, which are important in the establishment of partnership relations towards the improvement of students' communication skills in English as a foreign language. Regarding the limitations of the research, the research was conducted on a limited sample, so caution should be exercised when generalizing the results. It should also be taken into account that the teachers and parents surveyed are from different parts of the Republic of Serbia, so it is not possible to know whether there is a certain deviation depending on the region or municipality. It is recommended to conduct the research that include the students' views in the survey in order to get a more complete picture.

Authors: Malinović-Jovanović Nela , Simić Milica , Ristić Milica
Published: January 2025

The aim of the study was to investigate the efficiency of learning equations and inequations through the application of exemplary teaching in primary school. In terms of efficiency and achievement levels, we started from the learning outcomes on equations and inequations taught in the third and fourth grade primary school mathematics curriculum and from a taxonomic model of operationalization of the goals and objectives of mathematics teaching in the cognitive domain. According to this model, the performance of the students was examined in the following 5 main taxonomy levels: recognition, reproduction, comprehension, operationalization and creative problem solving. The results of the experimental study, which was carried out on a sample of 100 students, show that the teaching method used helps students to learn equations and inequations more successfully. The use of exemplary teaching had a positive effect on students' performance in reproduction, comprehension, operationalization, and creative problem solving, while it had no effect on students whose knowledge was at the recognition level. The results of this study could lead to changes in the presentation of the teaching content, the evaluation of the efficiency of the educational process, a more efficient individualization of the learning process, etc. In addition, the methodological contribution of this work is the creation of exemplary teaching models whose use in a classroom, thanks to analogue reasoning, allows students to find their own approach to mathematics.
Dilemmas in solving one type of exponential equations in mathematics teaching
Authors: Marković Olivera , Zubac Marina
Published: January 2025

In this paper we considered the problem of solving equations of the form f ( x ) a(x^ = f ( x ) h(x), ie. exponential equations in which the unknown is both in the base and the exponent. We analysed how solving these so-called powerexponential equations shown in textbooks and collections of math problems for the second grade of vocational schools and grammar schools, as well as in some collections of math problems intended for the preparation of the entrance exam at technical faculties in the Republic of Serbia. We realised that in these textbooks there are two approaches to these equations, which results in obtaining different sets of solutions. Namely, in some collections of math problems the starting point is the fact that the real solutions to an equation are all real numbers for which the given equation becomes an exact equality, including those real numbers for which the base f(x) is a negative number, while in others the possibility of a negative base is excluded due to the area of definition of the function y = f ( x ) a(x). Obtaining different sets of solutions is a problem for both students and teachers because they do not know which approach is correct and which set of solutions is correct. In the paper, we also indicated a possible solution to this problem.
School sports in the Balkan countries: A comparative study
Authors: Marković Srđan , Grbović Marija , Bogavac Dragana
Published: January 2025

School sports are part of both the educational and sports systems, and they are regulated differently in some countries. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to make a comparative analysis of the management models of school sports in 5 Balkan countries: Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. The systems were observed based on four criteria: documents forming the basis of the school sport model, financing, the system of school sport competitions, and the branching of the system. It was established that in all models from the observed countries there are general and specific documents that are important for the functioning of school sports. Although the management structure is similar in all observed models, the control by individual sectors is carried out seriously only in Slovenia. In all models, only physical education teachers are responsible for the implementation of all programs and projects. Also, insufficient and unsystematic financing of school sports can be observed in all countries (except Slovenia), which results in problems in the implementation of school sports competitions. Based on the characteristics of the examined models of school sports, it was determined that the organization and management of school sports in Slovenia contributed to better results in terms of criteria that can be used to assess the quality of school sports.
Primary school teachers' opinions about their own competencies for teaching music culture focused on traditional content
Authors: Tanasković Marija
Published: January 2025

One of the goals of teaching music culture is to introduce pupils to the musical heritage of their own people. In this process the teacher has a significant role. To respond to the tasks that lead to the successful implementation and outcomes of teaching process, the teacher must possess professional and general competences, because the pupil's mastery of the material depends on teacher's knowledge, skills to transfer knowledge and his ability to choose appropriate teaching content, methods and strategies for representing the content. The paper presents the research conducted on the population of primary school teachers (n = 641) in Serbia, which aimed to examine their opinions in relation to their competencies to teach music culture focused on traditional content. The descriptive and the method of theoretical analysis were used. The research techniques were surveying and content analysis. The results show that a large number of primary school teachers believe that they are not sufficiently qualified and that they do not have enough knowledge for teaching music culture focused on traditional content. Most of them use textbooks and additional sources to process traditional content and are aware that they need to improve their competencies. The conclusion is that traditional content should be more accessible and that initial education and professional training of primary school teachers in this area should be improved.

Authors: Alvarez Alvarez Edson A. , Reyes Pino Víctor , Almazán Núñez R. Carlos
Published: January 2025

The Mexican coast offers a wide variety of ecosystem services. Yet, tourist infrastructure and agricultural activities that affect biodiversity are being developed along its coastal areas. This study analyzed avian composition, diversity, and spatial distribution across three habitats (mangrove, islet, dune) in Mitla Lagoon, located in the state of Guerrero in southern Mexico. Fieldwork was conducted over 11 months from 2015 to 2016. Bird species were recorded through sightings and vocal identification. Birds were categorized by their seasonality and by aquatic and terrestrial guilds. Bird species diversity among coastal sites was compared using Hill numbers. A total of 49 bird species from 22 families were recorded. The islet and mangrove habitats had the highest bird species richness and diversity. Waterbird guilds, such as aerial searchers and waders, were better represented in the islet, while terrestrial guilds, including both ground and arboreal foragers, were associated with the dune. On the islet, most species were waterbirds, whereas land birds were primarily found in the dune habitat. Mangroves are crucial for bird species at risk under national and international laws. This study serves as a valuable resource for designing biodiversity-focused ecotourism programs and conservation strategies in the coastal environments of the Mexican Pacific.

The word microalgae refer to “small algae” that inhabit different aquatic bodies, both freshwater and marine, these serve as food for a wide variety of animals, including humans. Microalgae produce food, they release the oxygen found in the aquatic ecosystems and Earth’s atmosphere. Microalgae also generate a wide variety of biochemical compounds of interest to humanity, with widely medicinal and neutraceutical proposes (e.g. anesthesia and antioxidants). However, some of these microorganisms produce dangerous toxins, that at the time of forming massive algal blooms, they can cause both poisoning in people and disruption of ecological balance. This work describes the importance of microalgae as a source of food and several compounds and metabolites including toxins, which are been used for the benefit of humanity.
IMPACT OF THE EXCHANGE RATE ON THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN CEARÁ FOOTWEAR - 1997-2019
Authors: Da Silva Filho Luís Abel , Morais Junior Antonio César , Leite Santos Patrick , Moreira de Siqueira Rogério
Published: January 2025

This article analyzes the relationship between the exchange rate and footwear exports from Ceará from 1997 to 2019. To this end, an empirical exercise was used, based on the use of econometric techniques in time series applied to data from the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (SECEX) of the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). The results show that Ceará has a substantial share in Brazilian footwear exports and maintains a significant share of its export revenues in the footwear sector despite the reduction recorded in recent years. The econometric tests do not confirm a statistically significant relationship between the exchange rate and footwear exports from Ceará. Therefore, it is inferred that other variables not observed in this study contribute to the state's trade, with the exchange rate not being relevant for exports from the Ceará footwear sector in the period analyzed.

Authors: Silva Duarte Cosme Geilson , Da Costa Campos Rodolfo Herald
Published: January 2025

As evidências empíricas sobre a estrutura produtiva de um país e sua disposição interna podem ser adequadas junto às teorias de concentração setorial da produção já em uso no âmbito internacional. Este trabalho estudou as curvas de concentração dos estados brasileiros de 1995 a 2017 procurando determinar a existência de curvas parabólicas e côncavas para cada estado. Foram construídos o índice de Gini-Hirschman e o índice de Hirschman-Herfindhal para os dados desagregados do Valor da Transformação Industrial (VTI) dos estados e feita uma comparação com seus respectivos níveis de renda domiciliar per capita. Observou-se a ocorrência de curvas em forma de ‘U’ para a concentração setorial dos estados brasileiros de 1996 a 2014 e, ainda, constatou-se que os estados com maiores níveis de renda são aqueles de estrutura industrial mais diversificada. Pode-se concluir que os estados do Brasil demonstraram uma tendência média inclinada para a concentração setorial de suas indústrias ao final do período abordado, ao passo em que este mesmo setor perdeu peso relativo no PIB nacional, a revelar sinais de especialização negativa do setor industrial.

Automated annotation in UniProt
Authors: Raposo Pedro , Urakova Nadya
Published: January 2025

UniProt is a high quality, comprehensive protein resource in which the core activity is the expert review and annotation of proteins where the function has been experimentally investigated. At the same time, the UniProt database contains large numbers of proteins which are predicted to exist from gene models, but which do not have associated experimental evidence indicating their function. UniProt commits significant resources to developing computational methods for functional annotation of these predicted proteins based on the data in entries that have gone through the expert review process.

We will describe the two main automated annotation systems currently in use. First, UniRule, which is an established UniProt system in which curators manually develop rules for annotation. Second, ARBA (Association-Rule-Based Annotator), which is a multi-class learning system which uses rule mining techniques to generate concise annotation models. ARBA employs a data exclusion algorithm that censors data not suitable for computational annotation, and generates human-readable rules for each UniProt release. As part of our interest in engaging with the machine learning community, we will also introduce the contribution of ProtNLM (Protein Natural Language Model), from Google Research, which annotates proteins which have "uncharacterised" names.

We will also introduce UniFIRE, an open source software that enables researchers to annotate their own protein dataset by using the above mentioned annotation systems. In order to provide an easy and straightforward way to download and set up this tool we have containerised UniFIRE together with all its dependencies and the latest set of UniRule and ARBA rules. In this webinar, we will show how to create functional predictions for protein sequences by using this container image.

Legal Language of Departmental Rulemaking: Problems of Legal Regulation and Practice
Authors: Leletina Anastasia
Published: January 2025

The article considers the actual problem of departmental rulemaking related to the quality of preparation of departmental normative legal acts and manifested in the peculiarities of the legal language used in their development by federal executive authorities and other state bodies and organizations authorized to implement regulatory legal regulation (federal bodies). The approach to ensuring the quality of the preparation of departmental acts subsequently affects the effectiveness of their implementation and, if there are shortcomings, may lead to judicial appeal of such acts in the framework of cases on standard control. The main purpose of this article is to identify, based on the results of an analysis of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation practice, typical examples of mistakes connected with the legal language of departmental acts that negatively affect their quality and, accordingly, the effectiveness of the implementation of regulatory requirements they establish, as well as to formulate proposals for improving the quality of departmental rulemaking results. When conducting the research, formal-logical and problem-theoretical methods, methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as legal design methodology were used. The article examines some doctrinal positions on the issues of ensuring the use of the Russian language as the state language from the standpoint of jurisprudence and philology. As a result of summarizing the comments identified by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation during the implementation of the procedure for state registration of departmental acts, typical examples of errors related to the use of legal language are given, which should be taken into account when developing departmental acts. Based on the organizational and personnel problems identified in the activities of federal bodies, leading to an insufficiently high quality of preparation of departmental acts, and measures taken by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation within the framework of its powers to assist in eliminating this problem, recommendations are formulated to improve the quality of departmental rulemaking. It is concluded that it is necessary to exclude the unjustified use of foreign words (borrowings).
The Implementation of the Right of Pledge in the Bankruptcy Proceedings of the Developer: Issues of Theory and Practice
Authors: Shishmareva Tatiana
Published: January 2025

In connection with the special protection of citizens who have invested money in the construction of an apartment building, special rules have been introduced to meet the requirements of citizens-mortgagees in the bankruptcy procedure of the developer. The legislation does not have a system and order of satisfaction of the requirements of all mortgagees of the developer. Gaps in legislation are being filled by judicial practice. At the same time, the interests of all mortgagees are not always taken into account. The main source of solving the current imbalance is the rulings of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which indicates the need to create a different legal mechanism. The purpose of the study is to analyze the collateral function of collateral in the bankruptcy procedure of a developer and develop proposals to improve the priority system, which will ensure the priority of all mortgagees. Due to the importance of collateral relations as a way of securing obligations, it is necessary to maintain a balance of interests of mortgagees, regardless of the purpose of investing in the construction of an apartment building and the type of collateral. To achieve this goal, the methods of deduction, synthesis, interpretation, the praxeological method, the method of teleological interpretation are used. It is concluded that in the bankruptcy procedure of the developer, in connection with ensuring the guarantee of the right to housing for citizens, the security function of the pledge is not fully performed in relation to other pledgees, namely construction participants who invested money for the construction of non-residential premises, legal entities. Contradictions between the goals of legal policy in the field of securing obligations between the Civil Code of Russia, federal laws regulating collateral (mortgage), and the Federal Law “On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)” have been revealed. Amendments to the legislation are required in terms of regulating the priority of satisfying the claims of mortgagees in the bankruptcy procedure of the developer, taking into account the rights and legitimate interests of all subjects and types of collateral. It is proposed to provide proportionate satisfaction of creditors’ claims and create special legal mechanisms for guarantees to citizen investors.

Study on the decline of wildlife population in nature due to illegal breeding and hunting: Implications for biodiversity conservation
Authors: Rianzar Muhammad , Kusuma Hanif
Published: January 2025

Background: Poaching of wildlife, including protected species, is on the rise, partly due to increased demand in the world market. Therefore, this journal aims to examine the problems faced by Indonesia in dealing with wildlife trade crimes that still occur frequently, as well as the implementation of Law Number 5 of 1990 related to law enforcement for wildlife protection in Indonesia. Methods: The research method used is qualitative, by collecting data from books, articles, news, and journals. The analysis involved theories, concepts, legal principles, and regulations in the Act, as well as related case studies in Indonesia. Findings: The results show that although Indonesia has Law No. 5 of 1990, it is still lacking in effectiveness in reducing poaching and trade of wild and protected animals. Law enforcement officials and related agencies face various problems in the implementation of law enforcement. Community involvement in the endangered species trade is a key driver of the illegal keeping trend in Indonesia. Conclusion: The rate of prosecutions and convictions of illegal keepers remains low, creating inequalities in sentencing and giving the impression that the risks of this illegality are relatively low compared to the financial gains possible.

The influence of the international monetary fund (IMF) on economic liberalization development in Egypt: A geopolitical and economic analysis (2011-2018)
Authors: Saudia Rikh Rezza
Published: January 2025

Background: International Monetary Fund (IMF) as an international financial institution implements a liberalism policy for countries that need loan funds. In 2016 after lengthy negotiations and numerous rejections from the public, the Egyptian Government finally made an agreement with the IMF. This agreement is the first agreement after the revolution in Egypt in 2011, which was also assessed as a result of implementing IMF policies. Egyptian society feels that the policies set by the IMF did not bring prosperity evenly. The influence of the IMF on the implementation of economic liberalization policies then becomes an interesting thing to study. Methods: This study aims to analyze the background and influence of the IMF on the development of economic liberalization in Egypt and explain how Egypt implements the policies set by the IMF. This research is a qualitative research with a descriptive analytical approach. Findings: The theory that will be used in this research is the institutional neoliberal theory developed by Robert Owen Keohane and elaborated with the concept of interdependence. Conclusion: This research concludes that the negotiation agreement between the IMF and Egypt in 2016 is because the Egyptian economy is in a state of decline. And the program agreement that was agreed with the IMF as an international organization had an influence on Egypt both in monetary, fiscal and structural terms. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study reveals that Egypt's IMF-backed reforms stabilized the economy but primarily benefited the elite, while the poor faced harsher conditions. Despite these negative social impacts, Egypt continued the reforms due to its interdependence with the IMF.

Published: January 2025

Background: Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has emerged as a transformative approach to urban planning, aiming to balance modern infrastructure with sustainable urban growth. Methods: This study examines the impact of the Haliç Metro Köprüsü, a key component of Istanbul’s transit network, on the urban fabric of the Golden Horn—a heritage-rich area characterized by its historical and cultural significance. While the bridge has faced criticism for its modernist design and perceived disconnect from its surroundings, this research uncovers its latent potential to support placemaking strategies in heritage-sensitive contexts. Findings: The findings reveal that the Haliç Metro Köprüsü successfully enhances connectivity across Istanbul’s European districts, reducing congestion and providing efficient mobility for thousands of daily commuters. Its strategic location serves as a transit hub that links historically significant neighborhoods such as Balat and Galata, fostering economic activity and improving accessibility to cultural landmarks. Conclusion: The research highlights the need for targeted placemaking interventions, such as enhancing pedestrian pathways, integrating public art reflective of local history, and activating adjacent spaces for cultural events. These strategies could elevate the bridge’s role from a functional transit corridor to a vibrant public space that harmonizes modern infrastructure with Istanbul’s heritage identity. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study contributes new insights into the potential of TOD projects to act as catalysts for placemaking in heritage cities. By leveraging TOD principles and culturally sensitive urban design, infrastructure like the Haliç Metro Köprüsü can bridge the gap between modern urban needs and the preservation of historical identity, ensuring inclusive and sustainable development.

Background: Positioned as the bedrock of Indonesia's economic resilience, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) stand out as a focal point for the Indonesian government's efforts to fortify the nation's economy. The inexorable march of the Fourth Industrial Revolution requires adaptive measures by MSMEs to ensure their survival. Methods:  The research examines the financial literacy levels within a community development program initiated by a financial institution, with a specific focus on the micro-business segment. Moreover, using SWOT analysis, an assessment of the community development program implemented by one of the financial institutions in Indonesia was conducted through which micro-entrepreneurs have succeeded in improving financial literacy, one of which is by having a bank account. Findings: The empowerment strategy involves imparting financial knowledge and acquainting MSME communities with digital platforms to foster their growth. Financial literacy is very important to accelerate the reach and bring financial facilities closer to the community in the form of additional capital from microcredit. Conclusion: To accelerate this process, community development initiatives and capacity-building programs for Micro and Small enterprise actors become essential, aiming to elevate their proficiency in business management, enhance production competitiveness, streamline small business enterprise management, and fulfill the evolving marketing needs of micro-business actors. Novelty/Originality of the Article: This article emphasizes the importance of financial literacy in facilitating the access to microcredit, helping micro-businesses gain financial knowledge and resources to improve their operations and sustainability.
