Qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods are applied in security, political and other social sciences in order to conduct research and achieve or verify scientific knowledge. The aim of this paper is to explain the advantages of qualitative methods interview, focus group, observation or quantitative methods - survey, scales, etc. Besides, we will explain how to conduct research in security and political sciences by using some mixed methods. The mixed methods combine qualitative and quantitative methods in order to expand understanding of a certain problem. For example, mixed methods may combine interview and survey. Also, mixed method design may combine certain elements of research designs such as the research question, data collection or data analysis. Therefore, the mixed research designs, known as the third wave, are mostly applied in the research of security, political and other social phenomena.
Crisis prevention as a chance for business recovery in the European Union
Authors: Đurić Đuro , Jovanović Vladimir , Jovanović Marija
Published: December 2024

With the entry into force of Directive No. 2019/1023 on Frameworks for Preventive Restructuring, clear and transparent legal instruments were introduced for crisis prevention in business operations of economic entities throughout the single market of the European Union. They involve early detection of circumstances that may lead to insolvency and encourage a response without delay. The key goal is to overcome the debtor's financial difficulties at an early stage, and when possible, prevent insolvency and ensure business sustainability. With the introduction of new instruments into the national legislation, the area traditionally governed by the norms of bankruptcy law, which are mostly of an imperative nature, has been entered. This was done by defining the circumstances that precede the reasons for bankruptcy and by providing instruments to protect the debtor from enforcement. The new instruments, on the other hand, are of a consensual legal nature, that is, governed by dispositive norms. The authors of this paper analyze the preventive instruments, their way of introduction into the legislation, as well as the particularity of the new legal regime in important economies in the EU, using the normative and comparative law method. This article presents an analysis of the application of the new regulations, which have been in force for two years, and the results of their implementation.
Sustainable development of cities
Authors: Gogić Nemanja , Milenković Dragana
Published: December 2024

The state of cities in the last millennium is about to collapse. The accumulated environmental problems became more comprehensive, inevitable and more difficult than any that had ever existed. Cities have become the biggest consumers and therefore the biggest polluters of the environment. This was influenced by many factors: population migrations, exponential population growth, massive food production and exponential growth of industrial production. As a result, there is a large concentration of harmful particles in the water and air, the amount of waste that has nowhere to be stored, the appearance of the greenhouse effect, soil degradation, etc. The goal of the research is to demonstrate the necessity of applying the concept of sustainable development in cities. The methods we used in the work are: analysis and synthesis. The results of the research show us that it is possible to apply the concept of sustainable development if a certain strategy for their application is applied. The strategy consists in the concentration of people, funds and capacities for the transition to the green economy.

Psychosocial risks and occupational health: Fatigue and sleep disturbances among aviation professionals
Authors: Rodrigues Carlos Manoel Lopes , Da Cruz Silva Karolina Elizabete , Cruz Ligia Abreu Gomes
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the relationship between exposure to psychosocial risk factors at work, fatigue, and sleep quality among civil aviation professionals. Psychosocial risk factors such as excessive workload, lack of control over tasks, job insecurity, and inadequate social support are prevalent in high-demand environments like civil aviation, where constant vigilance and rapid decision-making are crucial. The research involved 200 participants, including pilots and flight attendants, who completed questionnaires measuring psychosocial stressors, sleepiness, and fatigue. Results indicated significant associations between role conflict and ambiguity, lack of social support, work/family conflict, and the pressure of responsibility with increased fatigue and sleep disturbances. Gender differences were noted, with women experiencing higher levels of work/family conflict. The study emphasizes the need for organizational strategies to mitigate these psychosocial stressors by enhancing role clarity, providing social support, fostering work-life balance, and managing job responsibilities to improve health outcomes and operational safety in aviation. Future research should consider longitudinal and diverse studies to explore these dynamics further and test intervention efficacy.

Authors: Moropefoluwa Odudu Jennifer , Aondover Eric Msughter , Falobi Funmi
Published: December 2024

The goal of this study is to examine the role of broadcast media in mobilizing women for political engagement in Lagos State. The objectives of the study were to investigate how women in Lagos State are being mobilized for political participation by the broadcast media, to determine whether cultural norms in society have an impact on women’s political participation in Lagos State, and to ascertain the obstacles that women encounter when engaging in Lagos State. The study used a survey research method, and agenda-setting theory and Status Conferral theory were adopted as a theoretical framework. The total population of the study consists of 183 respondents, while the sample size was 96 respondents who meet the criteria of the study. Convenience sampling was employed based on the availability of the respondents, and the instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. Content validity was used to validate the instrument for effective data collection. After coding and analysis in SPSS 22.0, the results were interpreted using frequencies and percentages. The findings of the study show that the media plays a significant role in the process of political mobilization. The fact that women are and have been marginalized in Nigeria’s political system is the most important aspect of this discussion, as it portends dire consequences for the country’s system, which is now essentially ruled and controlled by men. Therefore, issues causing this predicament are deeply ingrained in the anxieties that the majority of women experience, some of which are related to insecurity, financial hardship, and a lack of political support. The study recommends that there is a need to establish a supportive environment free from all forms of violence and harassment that enables women to participate effectively in the decision-making process in a sustainable and efficient manner.

Authors: Thavard Blaga , Slavov Peter
Published: December 2024

The ongoing nomination of Bulgaria’s next Prosecutor General, scheduled for January 16, 2025, has sparked concerns over the legitimacy of the Supreme Judicial Council, whose members’ mandates expired nearly two years ago, responsible for nominating the candidate. Despite the Constitutional Court’s ruling that the expiration of the SJC’s elected members does not dissolve the institution or suspend its functions, this decision follows a technical approach which allows nepotism and corrupted practice through the use of legal loopholes.
The Effect of Statin Use on the Prevention and Progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Al-Sayegh Thuraya , Toubasi Ahmad
Published: December 2024

Introduction
This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to investigate the effect of statin on the prevention and progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) hypothesizing that statin would elicit beneficial effects on patients with DKD.
Methods
PubMed, Scopus, CENTRAL, and Web of Sciences were searched. The studies were included if they investigated the impact of statin on the development or progression of DKD. DKD development was defined as the occurrence of proteinuria or albuminuria due to type 2 diabetes. DKD progression was defined as the change in proteinuria, albuminuria, and GFR over time.
Results
The total number of the included patients was 36,938 from 27 studies. Statin use was significantly associated with reduction in DKD risk (HR=0.66; 95%CI: 0.58-00.76). Moreover, patients on statin had significantly lower deterioration in albuminuria (WMD=-21.81; 95%CI: -36.91- -6.70), proteinuria (WMD= -0.12; 95%CI: -0.12- -0.03) and GFR (WMD=-1.21; 95%CI: -2.20- -0.23).
Conclusion
Our study demonstrated that statin has beneficial effect on DKD by reducing albuminuria, proteinuria and GFR. These findings were reproducible among patients with microalbuminuria, patients on low intensity statins and patients on different treatment durations. Future larger high-quality trials are needed to investigate this topic and make more fine and reliable conclusions in the view of the encouraging findings we found in our analysis.
The way we are, function and change: The information, mass and energy theory
Authors: Peñuelas Josep
Published: December 2024

The search for a universal law governing the functioning of life, human society, and Earth is paramount in science. Universal laws, however, are difficult to find in the multifactorial fields of life and human sciences. Gaining insight into the complexities of information driving the form and function, and the energy processes of organisms, ecosystems, and human entities is key to understanding biological and human systems. Here, I propose the IME (information, mass, energy) theory to establish that generally the rate at which information increases with the mass (storage of information) of an organism, ecosystem, or human entity largely surpasses the corresponding increase in mass and required energy. Consequently, larger repositories of information consequently become progressively more powerful and efficient. This exponential increase, however, is not infinite; it reaches a limit marked by the carrying capacity and/or the death of the organism or entity, which finally serves as a mechanism to eliminate negative accumulations of failures or by disturbances that are inversely related to their intensity. This information, mass, and energy (IME) theory that I propose here is key for understanding global change in organisms, ecosystems and human entities as well as biodiversity and habitat carrying capacity, evolution of socio-economic systems and even cosmos development. This IME theory should allow us to model disturbances like drought-related mortality, wildfires, coral bleaching or human socio-economic collapses and predict ecosystem or entity recovery or collapse.

Strengthening GIS Security: Anonymization and Differential Privacy for Safeguarding Sensitive Geospatial Data
Authors: Marri Rahul , Varanasi Sriram , Chaitanya Satwik Varma Kalidindi , Marri Sai Krishna
Published: December 2024

The protection of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is now more relevant since these systems gather, process, and store geospatial data to various ends, receiving and processing a broad array of applications. Data in the GIS framework is open to everyone, and digital assault, cyber theft, and many more issues which make privacy important. This paper addresses two methods: anonymization and differential privacy to protect GIS data. The performance of anonymization techniques like k-anonymity and geo-indistinguishability and the ability of differential privacy techniques to prevent the reverse engineering of the original data in large datasets are assessed.
An area of interest to the research is the applicability of these techniques in reducing the threat of traditional GIS security threats. The paper uses several cases and quantitative evaluation of the results to describe the advantages and disadvantages of both types of analysis and to demonstrate how these analyses can be applied in practice. These methods show that data breaches are minimized and general data protection improved by as much as 30% for location-specific attacks, for instance. This research seeks to address the application of privacy-preserving techniques in the GIS while requiring high privacy standards in using geospatial datasets. Importantly, the study's findings are intended to inform policymakers and system designers of the best practices for improving GIS security structures.

Authors: Zhan Xiaoan , Xu Yang , Liu Yingchia
Published: December 2024

This study presents a new approach to personalized UI design using deep learning techniques to improve user experience through interface customization. We propose a hybrid VAE-GAN architecture combining variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks to create coherent and user-specific UI layouts. The system includes user-friendly electronic models that capture personal preferences and behaviors, enabling real-time personalization of interactions. Our methodology leverages large-scale UI design datasets, and user interaction logs to train and evaluate the model. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in layout quality, personalization accuracy, and user satisfaction compared to existing approaches. A customer research study with 200 participants from different cultures proves the effectiveness of the personalization model in real situations. The system achieves a personalization accuracy of 0.89 ± 0.03 and a transfer speed of 1.2s ± 0.1s, the most efficient state-of-the-art UI personalization system. In addition, we discuss the theoretical implications of our approach to UI/UX design principles, potential business applications, and ethical considerations around AI-driven identity. This research contributes to advancing adaptive interface design and opens up new ways to integrate deep learning with UI/UX processes.

Published: December 2024

This research examines the effect of bricks enhancement with phase change material (PCM) consisting of paraffin on their thermal considerations. The experimental methods were aimed at investigating the mechanisms of temperature transfer throughout the thermal rounds, mimicking diurnal fluctuations of temperature. Due to the high amount of latent heat contained in paraffin a portion of it was transferred into regular bricks with temperature probes tracing the heat processes. It is shown that enhancement of bricks with PCM reduced temperature range and controlled the rate of heat transmission more than the ordinary bricks did. It was significant that the PCM-embedded bricks did not drift in heat and were able to stock up excess heat during the day and release it at night which resulted in monumental energy efficiency and comfort in thermal standing. The conversation additionally seeks to bring out the function of paraffin in insulation which does not only save energy consumption but goes forward to maintain comfortable temperatures within the building. The study finally achieved its goal and assert that energy saving with the use of PCM enhanced bricks in construction makes it a preferable material in regards to energy and the fight against climate change.

Authors: Fasya Muhammad , Irawan Doddy , Fadhilah Raudhatul , Gunarto Gunarto
Published: December 2024

This study explores the innovative use of chitosan from shellfish and natural cellulose as an additive to boost the viscosity of used lubricating oils. We synthesized and applied chitosan and cellulose as adsorbents to filter impurities and enhance the rheological properties of the oil. During the experiment, different amounts of chitosan and cellulose were used, and the Ostwald method was used to measure the viscosity. As expected, adding more chitosan (20 grams) made the viscosity much better compared to mixes with cellulose. This led to a viscosity of 658.20 cP, while a 15:5 chitosan-to-cellulose ratio made the viscosity the lowest, at 513.06 cP. FTIR analyses confirmed the structural integrity of chitosan post-synthesis. Challenges in optimizing chitosan production, particularly in achieving standard deacetylation levels, were noted as potential limitations. The results suggest that using biopolymers like chitosan and cellulose together is a long-term way to improve oil recovery and reuse, lower waste, and make industrial uses better. In the future, researchers should concentrate on enhancing the manufacturing process of chitosan to enhance its adsorption capabilities, and explore alternative functional modifications that could enhance its utility in a wider range of scenarios.

According to al-Jailani, purification of the soul is a key element in achieving moral perfection. This process consists of several spiritual stages, namely repentance, which means returning to Allah with regret and determination to improve oneself; zuhud, freeing oneself from worldly attachments; tawakal, which is surrendering oneself completely to the will of Allah; patience, being steadfast in facing all life's tests; honesty, behaving according to the truth; gratitude, always being grateful for all the blessings given; and ridha, accepting all His decisions sincerely. These stages aim to improve individual morals and guide them towards a better life spiritually and ethically. This study uses a library research method with a qualitative approach, in which content analysis techniques are applied to comprehensively understand al-Jailani's teachings. The results of the study indicate that the concept of ethical virtue taught by al-Jailani is very relevant in the development of human character, both in the past and the present. His teachings can be integrated into the modern ethical and moral education system as an effort to form individuals with noble morals. The appreciation of these values allows humans to live more meaningfully, have good morals, and contribute to creating a more dignified society. In facing modern moral challenges, such as materialism and individualism, al-Jailani's teachings can be a relevant and sustainable ethical guide.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap strategi yang digunakan oleh siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal PISA pada konten change and relationship. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan melibatkan 26 siswa berusia 14–15 tahun sebagai subjek. Instrumen yang digunakan mencakup soal PISA 2012 dan 2022 untuk mengukur literasi matematika siswa serta pedoman wawancara. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis melalui proses reduksi data, peninjauan data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan beberapa temuan utama: (1) dalam menyelesaikan pola visual, terdapat siswa yang mampu melanjutkan pola dengan dan tanpa visualisasi; (2) saat diminta menganalisis hubungan antar komponen dalam pola untuk membuat generalisasi, sebagian siswa tidak berhasil membuat generalisasi yang tepat; (3) ketika menyelesaikan soal yang memerlukan representasi situasi kehidupan sehari-hari ke dalam bentuk aljabar, ada siswa yang menggunakan prosedur matematis secara sistematis dan ada yang tidak; (4) saat menjelaskan perubahan nilai dalam hubungan matematis akibat perubahan salah satu variabel, beberapa siswa mampu menggambarkan perubahan secara spesifik, sementara yang lain hanya menyebutkan perubahan secara umum. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa strategi siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal bervariasi, baik dalam penggunaan prosedur matematis maupun kemampuan untuk memvisualisasikan atau membuat generalisasi. Temuan ini dapat menjadi dasar untuk mengembangkan pembelajaran matematika, khususnya pada topik aljabar, dengan fokus pada peningkatan kemampuan siswa dalam membuat generalisasi, menggunakan prosedur matematis, serta memahami hubungan antar variabel. Peningkatan kemampuan ini penting untuk mendukung literasi matematika siswa dan kesiapan mereka menghadapi tantangan matematika dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
