Authors: Ferreira Kecia A. M. , Moreira Roberta C. N. , Bigonha Mariza A. S.
Published: July 2021

Manter os softwares criados em funcionamento e com qualidade é um grande desafio. A compreensão profunda do software pode favorecer o controle dos impactos das modificações realizadas e a gestão do processo de manuntenção de software. Todavia, para alcançar isso, são necessários recursos que permitam a avaliação apropriada do software. Buscando contribuir com um recurso desta natureza, um trabalho anterior das autoras do presente artigo define um modelo, denominado Little House, que consiste em uma figura macroscópica genérica das estruturas de software orientado a objetos. Little House modela o software como um grafo com cinco vértices, denominados componentes, que correspondem a conjuntos de classes conectados entre si. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo caracterizar qualitativamente esses componentes por meio de estudos de caso com cinco softwares Java. O estudo consistiu em inspecionar manualmente todas as classes a fim de identificar seus propósitos. A análise dos resultados revela como as classes dos softwares são distribuídas entre os componentes de Little House conforme os propósitos delas. Os resultados deste trabalho identificam padrões de características estruturais de software que indicam como os softwares com os quais temos que lidar são estruturados.

Durchsetzungsdefizite bei Gleichbehandlungsgeboten am Beispiel des Gender Pricing
Authors: Legner Sarah
Published: July 2021

Gender Pricing is a widespread phenomenon. According to various studies, women-specific products and services often are more costly than comparable versions of products and services for men. As products made for women are frequently coloured pink, Gender Pricing is referred to as “pink tax”. European anti-discrimination legislation imposes restrictions on gender-related price discrimination. The 2004 Gender Directive bans discrimination in the field of goods and services. In principle, the directive prohibits any less favourable treatment of men or women by reason of their gender. Nevertheless, the additional price added on products intended for women is widely accepted. This raises the question of whether Gender Pricing points to a lack of law enforcement. Against this backdrop, the scope of the legal restrictions imposed on Gender Pricing will be analysed. Subsequently, the challenges of implementing anti-discrimination laws must be taken into account. Finally, conclusions will be drawn on possible courses of action to enhance their mandatory strength.
Die Wiedereinführung von Grenzkontrollen im Schengen Raum: ein unverhältnismäßiges, unwirksames und unzulässiges Mittel der Pandemiebekämpfung
Authors: Gerkrath Jörg
Published: July 2021

In March 2020, during the first wave of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in Europe, several Member States, including the Federal Republic of Germany, saw fit to resort to the reintroduction of border controls with some of their neighbours, including the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This reintroduction was then justified by the urgency and the need to contain the spread of the virus. So that there is no misunderstanding: these were exclusively identity checks and checks on documents authorizing their holders to cross borders and not health checks to detect carriers of the virus. This contribution aims to establish, using the example of the German-Luxemburg border controls, that the use of this extraordinary means does not stand the test of its effectiveness, proportionality and even less of its legality. To the extent that the perpetrator was himself a victim of this extraordinary measure, he may be forgiven for the somewhat militant character of the following lines. The German Minister of the Interior, Mr Horst Seehofer, who took this decision on behalf of Germany, may have invoked the European Union (EU) Border Code as the legal basis for his decision to reintroduce internal border controls in the Schengen area, but it must be questioned whether he has complied with the letter and spirit of this regulation. An in-depth analysis of the provisions of this Borders Code (I.) shows indeed that the unilateral decision taken by Minister Seehofer was taken arbitrarily (II.) and does not stand the test of its validity under Union law (III.)
Die Strafbarkeit inzestuöser Handlungen zwischen Geschwistern in Deutschland und Liechtenstein
Authors: May Malte
Published: July 2021

The thesis examines the criminal liability requirements for sibling incest in Germany and Liechtenstein. Delivering the first ever interpretation of the Liechtenstein statute (which is unique in this form), the author breaks new ground. In addition, the explores whether the German sibling incest prohibition still has a place in German criminal law at all after the 2015/2016 sexual criminal law reforms - and whether there might even be room for improvement. The author comes to the conclusion that a fundamental reform of the German offence is needed in order to achieve a more effective protection of sexual self-determination; to this end, he presents a concrete proposal for a new statute.

Authors: João Pissarra Ana , Abreu Catarina , Mansinho André , Lúcia Costa Ana , Dâmaso Sara , Lobo-Martins Soraia , Martins Marta , Costa Luís
Published: July 2021

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent and lethal cancer types worldwide. While surgery with chemotherapy and radiotherapy remains the only curative approach for localized CRC, for metastatic disease the therapeutic landscape has significantly evolved over the last years. Development and approval of novel targeted therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies against EGFR and VEGF, have significantly increased the median survival of patients with metastatic disease, with some trials reporting a benefit over 40 months. Increasing accessibility of high throughput sequencing has unraveled several new therapeutic targets. Actionable alterations, such as HER2 overexpression, BRAF mutations, and NTRK fusions, are currently available in metastatic disease, providing significant therapeutic opportunities for these patients, while new emerging agents, as immune checkpoint inhibitors, promise better treatment options in the near future. In this chapter, an overview of established and future CRC targeted therapies in the clinical setting is provided, as well as their mechanism of action, limitations, and future applicability.

Mulberry leaves are primary food for silkworm, Bombyx mori L. to feed silkworms and harvest quality silk cocoons. Mulberry belongs to family Moraceae and includes 60 species found distributed in both Hemisphere. In mulberry, chromosome numbers are varies from 2n = 28 to 22n = 308 (Diploid to Decosoploid) with ploidy level x to 22x. Based on chromosome numbers and meiotic behaviors x = 14 has been considered as basic chromosome numbers of the genus. In the present study, two diploids, two uneuploids, two triploids and two teteraploids mulberry varieties were selected for detailed chromosomal numbers and meiotic behaviors belongs to three species, namely Morus indica, Morus alba and Morus latifolia. Varieties, Vishaala and Kosen were diploids with 2n = 2x = 28 chromosomes and varieties Ber-S1 and S13 were uneuploids with 2n = 30 chromosomes belongs Morus indica. Varieties NAO Khurkul and KPG-1 were triploids with 2n = 3x = 42 chromosomes belongs to Moru alba and varieties Kokuso and Icheihei were tetraploids with 2n = 4x = 56 chromosomes. Diploids and uneuploids were showed normal meiosis with high pollen fertility and triploids and teteraploids were showed abnormal meiosis with low pollen fertility, due to virtue of higher ploidy level have been discussed in this chapter.
Impacts of Mobbing and Bossing in Human Resource Management
Authors: Holátová Darja , Březinová Monika
Published: July 2021

Nowadays, every organisation is looking for new approaches and ways that lead to the optimal usage of workforce and potential of workers which in turn leads to improved status of the business subject within the competitive environment. A still unappreciated element in business management is the level of relationship between the managers and employees and among the employees themselves. Good social relationships, open in-house climate and quality communication significantly influence the behaviour of employees and their performance, contribute to participation of employees in fulfilling the organisation’s goals and by that increasing the performance of the workers and the organisation as a whole. This sphere of social relationships, in-house climate and quality of communication is a stabilizing or unstabilizing element in businesses. In and unsatisfactory and stressful environment, undesirable fluctuations in the employees’ performance occur. Harmful practices (bullying), which prevent the optimal usage of the workforce, lead to the creation of an unfriendly and disfunctional Environment, breakup of teams, they lower the creativity of the employees and encourage bad attendance and fluctuations. A decline in morale of the whole company occurs and the performance, quality of work and productivity of workers also decreases. In spite of the aforementioned reasons why we should fight against these harmful practices which show signs of bullying, more than 40% of Czech employees between 2007 and 2011 have experienced some form of bullying.
Chemical Carbon and Hydrogen Recycle through Waste Gasification: The Methanol Route
Authors: Borgogna Alessia , Iaquaniello Gaetano , Salladini Annarita , Agostini Emanuela , Boccacci Mirko
Published: July 2021

A large amount of valuable Carbon and Hydrogen is lost in the disposal of the non-recyclable fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) – particularly unsorted waste fraction and plastics residue from mechanical recycle process. The waste-to-chemical technology allows to exploit the components entrapped in the non-recyclable waste by converting it into new chemicals. The core of waste-to-chemical technology is the gasification process, which is designed to convert waste into a valuable syngas to be used as example for methanol production. Waste to methanol schemes allow to achieve significant environmental and economic benefits, which can be further intensified within the scenario of increasing share of renewable energy.
P. falciparum and Its Molecular Markers of Resistance to Antimalarial Drugs
Authors: Hodoameda Peter
Published: July 2021

The use of molecular markers of resistance to monitor the emergence, and the spread of parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs is a very effective way of monitoring antimalarial drug resistance. The identification and validation of molecular markers have boosted our confidence in using these tools to monitor resistance. For example, P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT), P. falciparum multidrug resistance protein 1 (PfMDR1), P. falciparum multidrug kelch 13 (pfk13), have been identified as molecular markers of resistance to chloroquine, lumefantrine, and artemisinin respectively. The mechanism of resistance to antimalarial drugs is mostly by; (1) undergoing mutations in the parasite genome, leading to expelling the drug from the digestive vacuole, or (2) loss of binding affinity between the drug and its target. Increased copy number in the pfmdr1 gene also leads to resistance to antimalarial drugs. The major cause of the widespread chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance globally is the spread of parasites resistant to these drugs from Southeast Asia to Africa, the Pacific, and South America. Only a few mutations in the parasite genome lead to resistance to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine arising from indigenous parasites in Africa, Pacific, and South America.
How Many Heart Valves Should One Person Receive?
Authors: Daly Daniel J. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2021

This article argues that Catholic health care facilities should resist the emerging consensus in clinical ethics, which contends that patients suffering from intravenous drug use induced endocarditis should be denied multiple heart valve replacements. The article demonstrates that the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, as well as core concepts in the Christian moral tradition, such as human dignity, the preferential option for the poor, and the common good, reject this emerging consensus. Patients suffering from endocarditis who inject drugs should, in principle, be eligible for second, third, and even fourth valve replacements. While hospitals may protect and promote the common good by limiting access to multiple heart valve surgeries for this patient population, these limitations should emerge from evidence that such surgeries harm the common good of access to primary health care for all members of a community.
The Truth and Nothing but the Truth
Authors: Savage Heidi ,   Southwestern Philosophical Society
Published: July 2021

Many, if not most philosophers, deny that a sentence like ‘Sherlock Holmes smokes’ is true. However, this attitude confl icts with speakers’ assignment of the value true to this sentence. Furthermore, making these assignments seem in no way distinct from the process that leads speakers to assign true to other sentences, sentences like ‘Bertrand Russell smokes.’ I will explore the idea that when speakers assign the value true to the first sentence, they are not making any kind of confused mistake — that we ought to take these assignments at face value. I show how the alternative view is inadequate for explaining various examples of fi ctional discourse. In addition, evidence that these truth value assignments to sentences are tracking semantic content, rather than pragmatic effects, is offered.

Country of origin image and consumer xenocentrism in the context of forming consumer attitudes and loyalty to foreign brands: Moderating effect of cultural intelligence
Authors: Zdravković Stefan
Published: July 2021

Due to the process of globalization, consumer attitudes are formed under the influence of numerous factors, which are not analyzed significantly when it comes to the company's business in the domestic market, but can have important implications when the company's management decides to internationalize the business. Country of origin information is an important indicator of product quality, superiority and reliability. Also, within the process of globalization, ethnocentric consumer tendencies are becoming an important and crucial factor for multinational companies operating outside their domestic market. On the other hand, a certain number of consumers have dilemma whether to support the national economy by buying domestic products, or to decide to buy better quality foreign products. The high degree of consumer xenocentrism, as well as the high degree of development of cultural intelligence and global consumer culture, implies preferences towards foreign brands in relation to domestic ones. The research was conducted in order to determine whether the image of the country of origin (cultural heritage, fashion capital, technological progress) and consumer xenocentrism have a positive impact on consumer attitudes towards foreign brands, as well as whether the formed positive consumer attitude affects their loyalty to foreign brands. Also, the research examines the moderating effect of cultural intelligence (metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioral factors) in relation to these variables. Empirical research has been conducted. Statistical analysis was performed on a sample of 318 respondents from the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The results showed that these variables have a positive impact on consumer attitudes and loyalty to foreign brands, so the study offers important practical implications.

Nowadays, expansion in the technological achievements domain is increasingly faster and big changes have been made in people's interconnectedness and communication with the introduction of the Internet in our everyday lives. People started connecting online. Online communities have emerged as a network of the people gathered around the same interests, no matter whether such interests are private or business interests, through specific online media, thus creating a vast platform for the exchange of information, experiences and knowledge that transcends all geographical, social and temporal barriers. As a new information exchange platform, online communities also represent a new channel through which companies promote their business and their products, and provide new points of contact with their customers, who have increasingly greater power, the availability of and access to information. Marketing aimed at online consumer communities is analyzed in the paper on the example of Zara.
Personal name
Authors: Šarkić Nebojša , Krstinić Dalibor , Petrović Katarina
Published: July 2021

The right to the personal name represents the most important expression of a personal identity, as well as an absolute subjective right of every individual. Furthermore, the individual is, through the personal name, distinguished in the known and social context, and it is also the means through which the state identifies its subjects. Without the existence of the personal name, the life within a community would be unimaginable, which means that this type of individualization is as old as the very human society. Nevertheless, through time, the means of such an individualization have been changed. Today, in Republic of Serbia, the personal name consists of a surname by which the belonging to a certain family community is expressed, and a name through which he/she is individualized within that community. The question of a personal name in our country is regulated by the Family Law and it is guaranteed by the Constitution. Given the importance of the personal name, the aim of this paper will be to demonstrate the important questions pertaining to the personal name, as well as the Family Law norms, by which it is regulated within the lawful context of Republic of Serbia.
Legal conditions for the protection of three dimensional signs in trademark law
Authors: Petrović Milica
Published: July 2021

The need to define three-dimensional trademarks and determine the conditions for their registration has arisen as a consequence of increasingly rapid technological development. The changes in the market and the changes in behaviour of economic entities have resulted in the use of signs for marking goods that differ significantly from the traditional trademarks. The concept of protection of a three-dimensional shape is relatively new and it is necessary to clearly define the conditions for its protection as a trademark. What causes a problem is the fact that the mark, in this case, represents the product itself, which implies that such signs of this sort lack distinctiveness, and it is not clear what is protected by that mark. The analysis of the afore-mentioned cases from practice, presented by the author, aims to show the differences in opinions of the courts regarding the criteria by which it will be assessed whether the condition of distinctiveness is satisfied in a specific case or not. The main reason for the lack of reliable criteria is the hasty regulation of unconventional signs and the lack of the harmonized, clear rules both at the level of the European Union and at the global level. The author considers it necessary for the World Trade Organization or the World Intellectual Property Organization to offer guidelines within which an adequate protection of unconventional signs will be provided at the national level in order to eliminate the state of legal uncertainty that may arise when applying for protection of three-dimensional signs.
Violence at sports events: Phenomenological characteristics and practical problems
Authors: Babić Branislav , Koprivica Anja
Published: July 2021

In Republic of Serbia, violence at sports events represents a problem which is being reviewed with every new major sports event. A problem that goes beyond the scope of the sport, affecting topics of general crime, economics, and even the relationship between states. By forming a holistic perspective, the authors point out the need to revise the phenomenological framework of the previously mentioned phenomenon and the utopian nature of current preventive ideas. It is only by formulating a systemic criminal-law response that encompasses wider criminal frameworks, there are also considered the possibilities of normalization the sports events within the national framework.
Corruption as a negative social phenomenon
Authors: Kovačević Saša
Published: July 2021

This paper analyzes the problem of corruption as a phenomenon, a negative and illegal social phenomenon, which is contrary to the rules of normal functioning of the society. It implies to very serious consequences which can produce a real threat and the possibility of adopting corruption as a negative model of life and activity, that is, the functioning of the society, personified in several corrupt individuals and groups. The state continuously applies anti-corruption mechanisms. However, a phenomenon that is difficult to eradicate is the multitude of individual cases of offering, giving, or soliciting bribes in certain everyday life circumstances. We are worried about the researches indicating that a large number of the state institutions are exposed to corruption, including the officials employed in these institutions using corrupt actions during the performance of their regular work. The basic question that arises is whether a certain number of citizens who do not accept corruption over time become "antisocial" in relation to the individuals representing a part of the society which accepts it as an adopted model, or a way of living and normal functioning being contrary to law and the commitment of the state in the fight against corruption. The aim of the research is how to prevent the adoption of the corruption model as a "value", by reporting it to the competent authorities in Republic of Serbia, including the fight against corruption through the so-called "Romanian model", proved to be very effective in fighting corruption.
''Silence of the administration'' in the administration procedure that is being instituted before the real estate registry and cable duct cadaster
Authors: Torbica Milica
Published: July 2021

"Silence of the administration" represents the tool for the regular legal protection of the parties within the administrative procedure, whether the subject is the procedure being initiated by the parties who have a personal interest or due to the ex officio procedure. In both cases, either due to a long lasting procedure or to an untimely decision which is being rendered in relation to the terms envisaged by law from the side of the administration, significant damage is being endured. Moreover, in both cases, the inactivity of the administrative authorities has numerous aftereffects. The Real Estate Registry and Cable Duct Cadaster represent a Public Book which has data on immovable properties and rights regarding the very same necessary for rendering numerous other rights before the other state authorities and judiciary. Data referring to the Real Estate Registry and Cable Duct Cadaster represent the initial base while rendering the rights before the business banks and within the economic field, in general. Thus, cadaster data should be updated regularly, which presupposes both active and timely registration of documents in the Cadaster, whether based on the submitted documents for the purpose of the registration within the Cadaster, the very same documents to be adopted or a negative administrative act to be rendered. However, in practice, one can often encounter that this legal protection instrument of the parties cannot be applied, bearing in mind that non-acting in the administrative procedure which is being held before the Real Estate Registry and Cable Duct Cadaster has not always been caused by a non-compliance with the terms by the side of this administrative authority. Namely, the administrative procedure being held before the Real Estate Registry has its specific characteristics due to which this very Institute of the Administrative Law deserves a greater attention. The existence of the priority norm, i.e. the obligation of acting upon the requests of the order of their reception in the Real Estate Registry and Cable duct Cadaster, leads to the other point of view regarding the acting of the administrative authorities and decision rendering based either on the requests of the parties or based on ex officio within the terms envisaged by the Law.

A feminist approach to space: How women "project their home environment" through visual arts
Authors: Cvetić Mariela
Published: July 2021

This paper reconsiders the relation established between (the architectural) space - the house and the woman in it, or versus it. Such a relationship is projected through visual arts, as is evident in the examples of the selected case studies. The objective of this thesis is to elaborate upon the idea that contemporary women authors use "their house" as the topic of inspiration behind works, which are quite often reminiscences of the emotional spectrum they lived during their own childhood. Furthermore, it also shows that through those works they establish their personal attitude towards the notion of "house" in general. The starting point of this paper is based on the theoretical views of Griselde Pollock,a feminist critic and theoretician of visual arts, and her analyses of "the space of femininity" and the women artists in modernism.

Metropolis and post-modern metropolis as a critical field of modern mimicry
Authors: Stjepanović Nenad
Published: July 2021

Hegel's analysis and definition of the work of art in the Esthetic foretold transformation in visual communication and perception of arts in the advertising age. During the transformative period of economy into money economy fundamental social and cultural ruptures introduced new methods of transgression in forms expression and conception of meaning in arts, and by implication, in architecture. Aesthetic radically departed from the norms of figuration in the classical art into symbolic reading. These exigencies in style and conception reflected the new consciousness that was impinged on by the age of sciences and mechanical reproduction.
Materialist history of ideas and study of architecture and urbanism: The case of Martin Jay
Authors: Dedić Nikola
Published: July 2021

History of ideas is a sub-discipline of history that deals with description and interpretation of creative work of thinkers and artists of the past. Martin Jay, as a central aspect of his theoretical work points out two Marxist thesis. 1. Ideas have, as products of intellectual labor, their own material foundation: this means that social reality is determined by those products as much as by economy - in that way, materialist history of ideas is constituted on the shift from the analysis of the economy (base) to the analysis of culture (superstructure). 2. Ideas are related to social practices: ideas within a society are not separate from material reality, but they actively shape social relations, i.e. there is a link between intellectual labor and political conditions of life within a given historical society. The paper examines the connection that Jay established between the history of ideas and the history of architecture and urbanism.

Authors: Jugović Aleksandar , Živaljević Dragan
Published: July 2021

Radicalization is a political, social, psychological and group process that leads to the circumstances where certain political beliefs are accompanied by the readiness of an individual or a group to manifest violent extremism and acts of terrorism in a direct manner. This paper is aimed at the analysis of the concepts of radicalization, extremism and terrorism, and the classification and explanation of different concepts of radicalization. The paper applies the methods of analysis, synthesis and classification. Radicalization is classified and explained through three general approaches: structural contexts, risk factors and the development of radicalization. The key result of the paper is the conclusion about the need for the scientific development of a comprehensive theory of radicalization. The synthetic integrative theory of radicalization development should take into account different and mutually conditioned dimensions of this process.
