Published: February 2024

Introduction: Echosonography of the appendix is the primary method in the diagnostic algorithm of acute appendicitis, after clinical and laboratory examination. Non-invasiveness, availability and easy performance are the advantages of this method in detecting acute appendicitis. Aim: The research aimed to determine the morphological characteristics of the appendix, as well as to evaluate the role of echo sonography in the exploration and visualization of pathological changes in the appendix in acute appendicitis. Material and methods: The cross-sectional study included 59 people who underwent appendectomy and echosonographic examination of the abdomen and pelvis within the Department of Radiological Diagnostics of UHC "Dr Dragisa Misovic-Dedinje" in Belgrade. Results: In 48 out of a total of 59 people (81.4%), there were echosonographic signs of acute appendicitis, of which incompressibility of the wall was present in 40 people (83%), diameter of the appendix over 6mm in 38 (79%), wall thickness over 3mm in 45 (94%), target sign in 33 (69%), hypervascularization of the wall in 28 (58%), as well as the presence of fecoliths with nonhomogeneous content intraluminally in 15 (31.2%) persons. The sensitivity of echosonographic examination for obtaining positive results in persons with acute appendicitis was 86.5%. The specificity of the echosonographic examination to obtain negative results in persons who do not have acute inflammation of the appendix was 57.1%. The positive predictive value (PPV) was 93.7%. The negative predictive value (NPV) was 36.4%. The accuracy of the method was 83.1%. Conclusion: Based on the high sensitivity values of the tests tested in this cross-sectional study, we estimate that echosonographic examination has a primary role in the diagnostic algorithm of a person with suspected acute appendicitis.

Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION: Complete appreciation of the cardiac venous system requires an understanding of its embryological basis, its usual patterns of distribution, and its common variations. AIM: The aim of our study was to improve our understanding of the coronary sinus morphometrical and topographical anatomy. METHODS: The investigations were carried out on 25 human hearts (from 11 male and 14 female persons of mean age 59.5; range: 40 to 75 years). The classic anatomical technique of microdissection (using neurosurgical microinstruments) was performed under the stereoscopic microscope on 10 specimens injected with a 10% formaldehyde solution. The arteries and veins of an additional 15 hearts were injected with methylmethacrylate and immersed in a 40% solution of NaOH for corrosion. Following washing out and drying, the obtained vascular casts were examined and measured. RESULTS: Coronary sinus (CS) extends from the opening of the oblique vein of the left atrium into the great cardiac vein, to its empty orifice into the right atrium. The length of CS varied between 22.4 and 41.4 mm (mean 33.0 ± 6.1 mm). The diameter of CS at its beginning was 5.0 - 9.6 mm (mean 6.6 ± 1.3 mm), and its diameter at its atrial mouth varied from 6.6 - 12.0 mm (mean 8.4 ± 1.6 mm). The CS had varied relationships to the branches of the left or right coronary arteries. It extended superficial and above the artery in 16 (64%) hearts, and close superficial to the artery in 9 (36%) cases. Duplication of the superior vena cava associated with an aberrant left hepatic vein was found in one case. The persistent left superior vena cava, which drained into the right atrium via the enlarged coronary sinus, was formed by the persistence of the left anterior cardinal vein. CONCLUSION: Our study shows that the coronary sinus, created in an early stage of embryological development, is an important collecting vessel receiving the main veins of the heart.
Prevention of micronutrient deficiencies in the elderly
Authors: Serenče Dora , Požar Hajnalka
Published: February 2024

The ageing process is characterized by numerous changes in the body that negatively affect the health, lifestyle and diet of the elderly. An adequate and balanced diet plays a vital role in the quality of life of the elderly, including physical, mental and social health. Physiological decline in food intake in the elderly is a risk factor for certain micronutrient deficiencies such as osteoporosis, anaemia and decreased immunity. To prevent these public health diseases, it is suggested to promote the intake of foods of animal origin (offal, meat) to prevent iron and vitamin B group deficiency. An adequate intake of anthocyanidins, fruits and vegetables with blue-purple pigments is recommended for the prevention of anaemia. Adequate intake is also important, i.e. intake of at least two portions of dairy products per day and fish products per week in combination with physical activity can provide adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D for the prevention of osteoporosis. The intake of fresh or minimally processed foods has played a significant role in ensuring an adequate intake of vitamin C, which, in addition to improving iron absorption and preventing anaemia, also affects the proper functioning of the immune system. For the same reason, it is recommended to take vitamin A from offals or beta-carotene from yellow-brown and orange fruits and vegetables. In general, appropriate nutritional interventions can be effective and financially effective forms of preventing and treating micronutrient deficits, thus improving the overall quality of life of the elderly
Postkonfliktno područje - "Post" kao nevažeće za civilne žrtve
Authors: Obrenović Mile
Published: February 2024

Civilian casualties in an armed conflict are often directly related to the time period of the armed conflict and the geographical area where it takes place. Accordingly, the data on civilian casualties are often referred to only those casualties that occur in the conflict area during the armed conflict, that is, civilian battle-related deaths. This raises the question of whether the post-conflict area, which is etymologically composed from a compound meaning the area "after the conflict", means that the end of the armed conflict, in a certain area also means the end of all the causes that arose as a result of the conflict and which lead to the occurance of civilian casualties? In response to this question, the author comes to the data that civilian victims can also occur due to various indirect (non-violent) causes of death, that is conflict-related deaths, which are a consequence of an armed conflict, but which are not territorially or temporally limited by an armed conflict. Accordingly, the post-conflict area is "post"-conflict when it comes to the manifest nature of the armed conflict, it means the area in which armed activities have ended and in which there are no more battle-related deaths. However, the post-conflict area is not "post"-conflict when it comes to the latent nature of armed conflicts, and the end of the armed conflict does not mean the end of its negative consequences that lead to civilian casualties. Thus, a large number of civilian victims caused by conflict-related deaths also appear in the post-conflict area.
The use of video surveillance in situational prevention of bullying in Belgrade secondary schools
Authors: Grmuša Adrijana
Published: February 2024

Video surveillance is a technique of formal surveillance widely used as a visible security measure in the context of situational prevention in schools. One of the usages is related to the prevention of bullying as a school security risk. This paper presents the results of research in 19 Belgrade secondary schools that was focused on the current state of the video surveillance system in these schools and whether this technique is effective in situational prevention of bullying. Data on the current state of the system were collected using the observation method, while data on the effectiveness were collected based on interviews with 44 members of the Teams for protection in these schools. The research findings show that all included schools use video surveillance, but that in half of them there are problems with insufficient coverage of the school facilities and/or defective equipment. The prevailing opinion among the members of the Teams for protection is that video surveillance is effective in situational prevention of bullying, emphasizing its two advantages. The first one is the deterrent effect, based on the presumption that students will make a decision not to start or to continue prohibited behavior if there is a risk of being detected and caught. The second advantage relates to the detection of cases of prohibited behavior, in which the possibilities of collecting evidence, reconstructing the course of the incident and identifying the offenders are outlined. The general conclusion of the research is that the use of video surveillance has potential for situational prevention of physical bullying, but only provided that the school facilities are well covered and that video surveillance is used in combination with other techniques of formal surveillance, especially the surveillance by teachers and security staff.

Integrated reports and changes in the presentation of companies' financial information
Authors: Pavlović Jelena
Published: February 2024

In the last decade, changes driven by globalization, constant shifts in consumer preferences, and frequent alterations in business strategy have become prominent. This research focuses on changes in the presentation and interpretation of information related to key company performances. Traditional financial reports, although informative, are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of target audiences. Increased demands regarding corporate responsibility and sustainable business practices have prompted companies to provide qualitative information about their business operations, as well as about intangible aspects of the company, which have become crucial for stakeholders. This has given rise to the need for an integrated report that would include a wide spectrum of interest groups. This paper explores the importance of implementing integrated reporting in company presentations. While the adoption of such reports is still in its infancy, there is a growing awareness of their significance.

Published: February 2024

The subject of this paper is the study of a certain segment of positive environmental law in the Republic of Serbia in the context of administrative legal protection. The leading international instrument in the field of environmental protection is the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention). The Aarhus Convention rests on the so-called "pillars", the first two of which represent the availability of environmental information and public participation in decision-making. Therefore, the presentation of the administrative and legal protection of the environment in the Republic of Serbia will be presented from the aspect of these two elements, while in the final part of the paper, the application of some of the mentioned institutes will be considered using an example from practice.
Negative effects of humor in marketing communications
Authors: Baltezarević Ivana , Baltezarević Radoslav
Published: February 2024

Humor is an essential component of human psyche. Smart businesses recognize the value of incorporating humor into their marketing communications. Marketing experts have long recognized that in order to bring their brands closer to their customers, marketing communication must be designed to connect with them emotionally, not just rationally. Because humor captures people's attention, using it into an advertising campaign enables businesses just that, to connect emotionally with their customers. Humor in advertisements is a terrific technique to strengthen companies and elicit favorable emotions in consumers, leaving them with a lasting overall pleasant impression. At the same time, businesses must exercise caution when using humor in their advertising and campaigns. Famous brands have a global presence, and often translate their advertising messages, but this does not always work as planned. Unskillful adaptation of advertising content to foreign markets and misunderstanding of cultural differences can do significant damage to the brand and business in general. Furthermore, if the humor in the advertising message is improper, harsh, or unpleasant, it might elicit negative feelings in customers and provide businesses with the opposite effect than intended. In a digital context, a corporation can enhance brand awareness by creating a creative, hilarious, and viral product promotion that consumers share with their peers. Clumsily created humorous content, on the other hand, is likely to produce consumer unhappiness and trigger negative electronic word of mouth (which is very difficult to control), causing significant damage to brand image and influencing purchasing decisions.
The establishment and organization of the Serbian State Guard 1941/1942
Authors: Stambolija Nebojša
Published: February 2024

The subject of this research are the circumstances that led to the establishment of the Serbian State Guard, a collaborationist formation created in early March 1942 in occupied Serbia, and its organization, as well. It arose from the need of the occupiers and collaborators for a stronger and more organized unit that would more successfully oppose the insurgent forces in the territory of Serbia. Formed on the basis of the pre-war gendarmerie, in the specific conditions of the war chaos in Serbia, it retained its primary police character, although it could establish larger and more mobile military formations if necessary. The first initiative came from the collaborationist government. The information about the new formation appeared in the daily press as early as the beginning of January, and the organization was completed in February 1942. Although there were other ideas for the name (Serbian State Police, Serbian National Guard) at meetings with General Milan Nedić, it was agreed to name the new formation Serbian State Guard. The decree on the organization was published on March 3, 1942. According to that decree, the SDS was defined as a uniformed and armed troop performing the police executive and border service. It included members of the former gendarmerie, police guards, armed detachments and border financial control bodies. Members of the SDS were in the service of the Ministry of the Interior. The Serbian State Guard was divided into: 1) the City State Guard, which served in Belgrade and other cities, 2) the Field State Guard, which served in the entire territory of the country except in the areas of city guards and 3) the Border Guard, which performed the border service. In the territory of the City of Belgrade, as a special unit that was directly subordinated to the Governor of the City of Belgrade, the service was performed by the Serbian State Guard of the Administration of the City of Belgrade. The SDS was led by the commander, who together with the headquarters formed the SDS Command. Members had to meet certain conditions regarding height, age, literacy, etc. Primarily, the material stored in the Military Archive in Belgrade was used, mainly the" Nedić Archive" fund, as well as the corresponding published material, literature and periodicals.

Systematic research and studies of the April War as a phenomenon of World War II have started taking into account its importance and significance in the Yugoslav historiography. The first steps forward and contributions were research papers of individuals that were published in the distinguished scientific magazine Military Historical Review (MHR). The analysis of the published papers has enabled to discover and understand the causes and consequences of the rapid fall and capitulation of the Yugoslav Government in this short-term war. At the same time all the factors that had influenced the breakdown of the Yugoslav military forces were the processes and division of the country into the occupation zones. The authors have tried to present, explain and interpret the events by using available archival documents and relevant literature. The Military Historical Institute has published the Collection of Documents on the April War 1941, thus contributing significantly to the advancement in understanding the causes of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia's defeat. The skillfully arranged documents from this Collection represent the priceless wealth of documents considering the importance, diversity and number of documents in it. Following this, it can be concluded that the MHR has enabled thorough the research of the April War as the beginning of World War II in Yugoslavia its comprehensive under-standing.
Problems on defining the right to the award Partisan Memorial of 1941
Authors: Milkić Miljan
Published: February 2024

The Partisan Memorial of 1941 was adopted on May 25, 1946. On the basis of this law, the Partisan Memorial of 1941 was awarded as a sign of the state recognition to the organizers of the national uprising and the first fighters of the national liberation struggle for the great merits gained during the liberation of the Yugoslav people. It was given only to surviving soldiers. The law defined that the owners of the Partisan Memorial of 1941 had various privileges. They had the right to treatment at the state expense, then the right to one-month annual vacation at the state expense, they had privileges during schooling, a 50% discount for traveling by all types of transport. The basic rights of the holders of the Partisan Memorial of 1941 changed several times during the following decades through the adoption of laws. Submitting a request to obtain the Partisan Memorial of 1941 and defining the status of a members of the partisan resistance who meets all the above-mentioned criteria proved to be very difficult in some cases. Some applicants expressed doubts about the objectivity of the individuals who had a part in solving the case. The most common reason why citizens asked for the renewal of the procedure for obtaining the right to the Partisan Memorial of 1941 was the misinterpretation of their role during the war. Based on data from December 1963, a total of 27,638 Partisan Memorial of 1941 were allocated in 1941. The number subsequently given in the period from 1957 to 1963 was 6,766.
The strategic compass for security and defense of the European Union: A platform for global action within the common security and defense policy?
Authors: Tučić Boris
Published: February 2024

Within a theoretical framework of international relations and using selected scientific methods, such as content analysis, inductive, deductive, and comparative methods, this paper analyzes the content and reach of the Strategic Compass for Security and Defense of the European Union as a broader strategic platform through which the European Union, under continuous and complex security circumstances, achieved one of the key and long-pro-claimed ambitions, namely the essential strategic autonomy of its policies concerning security and defense and, subsequently, its position as an autonomous, indispensable security actor at the global level. The analysis conducted leads to the conclusion that, regardless of the circumstances of its preparation and adoption, the Strategic Compass definitely does not have the capacity to enable the European Union to act in this way, which, basically, represents a highly bureaucratized list of goals and objectives with a number of shortcomings, which has almost no new strategic value and limits the European Union in the geopolitical sense, verifying it as a regional security actor of secondary importance in relation to NATO.

Would Europe have become wealthy without colonies? A retrospective analysis of the impact of the supply of goods from colonial countries on the economic strength of the EU
Authors: Gupta Bishnupriya
Published: February 2024

The relevance of this topic is growing due to the desire of European states to clarify their place in the formation and development of the global economy. The purpose of this study was to theoretically analyse the impact of raw materials and goods from the colonies on the development of the economic sector in European countries. This study analysed a range of scientific sources and materials, and the following scientific methods were used: structural-functional and dialectical methods, synthesis, logical, and comparative analysis, and generalisation. The findings of this study proved that without colonial possessions, Europe would not have been such an influential continent as it is in the modern world. The study showed how the European Union has done a tremendous job and gained the status of a fairly developed and rich association. It was shown that for a long time Europe exploited dependent territories, which made it the most influential union. These territories include countries in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America. The study proved that the colonies had a special impact on the socio-economic development of not only European countries, but also other countries of the world. The colonial policy pursued by Europe influenced the development of the world economy. The study of the history of European development is ongoing, and therefore this study is of great practical importance for determining how the European economy was formed and developed
Choosing the civilisational path of modern society in post-Soviet countries based on European values of quality of life
Authors: Stychynska Anna
Published: February 2024

European values, such as democracy, human rights, freedom of speech, equality, and social justice, are considered key components of the quality of life. The study of the impact of these values on society and their acceptability in post-Soviet countries is relevant today and is of immense importance for their future development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the basic European values, their perception, and application in post-Soviet countries. Methods: analysis, comparison, generalisation. The study analysed the extent to which post-Soviet countries such as Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), Tajikistan, Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan adhere to European quality of life values. This analysis included indicators on freedom, democracy, human rights, equality, and other aspects. The study also examines aspects of attitudes towards European values in the post-Soviet countries, with a detailed consideration of Ukraine as a non-EU country and the Baltic states that are members of the European Union. This study showed a tendency to adhere to European values in Ukraine and a high indicator of the civilisation path of modern society in the countries that are members of the European Union. However, for Ukraine, the issue of adhering to European values of quality of life is complicated by the war, which as of 2023 is still ongoing in the country. The findings of this study may be useful for international organisations such as the United Nations, the European Union, and others in planning and implementing programmes for the development and support of democracy in post-Soviet countries

Predictors of Persecutory Ideation: Impact of Hell Anxiety and Demonic Struggle among 100 level Accounting Students of Nasarawa State University Keffi
Authors: Tobechi Uzoigwe , Monday Akawu
Published: February 2024

Religion has been linked to mental health over the years, but its connection to persecutory ideation remains unclear. In this study, Nassarawa State University students' persecutory ideation is examined in relation to religious characteristics as predictors. A cross-sectional survey design was used in the study. In the study, a sample of 162 individuals was chosen at random from the student body. Both the independent and dependent variables were measured with three standardized tools. The use of multiple regression analysis was used to formulate and test two hypotheses. However, the researchers discovered that students' thoughts of being persecuted were jointly and significantly predicted by both hell anxiety and demonic conflict (F = 4.598, p=0.013, R2 = 0.105, r=0.325). Individually, that demonic struggle had significant contributions to the prediction of persecutory ideation. (R2= 0.342, t=2.844; P < 0.05). Hell anxiety did not significantly predict persecutory ideation. (R2= -0.043, t=-0.360; P > 0.05).These findings recommended that religious authorities consider minimizing satanic and hell themes in their sermon and focus on  angels, heaven, forgiveness, and other positive concepts that promote a favorable perspective of God thereby improving the mental health of its congregation. Additionally, psycho-spiritual therapy on the guidance of one's life by good supernatural beings like angels may assist lessen religiously-indured persecutory thinking.

Para evaluar el efecto del horario de pastoreo y el de un antihelmíntico en la carga parasitaria gastrointestinal de cabras Murciano Granadinas y Boer (n=83) y ovejas Dorper (n=20) sin preñar y que recién destetaron, regularmente desparsitadas con Ivermectina, se formaron dos grupos: A) Pastoreo matutino, n=51 (9:00 a 13:00 h) y B) Pastoreo vespertino, n=52 (13:00-17:00 h). Ambos grupos se subdividieron en dos. Al inicio del estudio uno recibió tratamiento antihelmíntico: 1 mL de Levamisol al 10%, inyectable, por cada 20 kg PV; el otro, un placebo. Los efectos principales que se evaluaron fueron: horario de pastoreo (matutino vs vespertino) y antihelmíntico (con vs sin), y las variables de respuesta: número de huevos por gramo de heces fecales (HPG) transformados por log 10 (n+1), paquete celular sanguíneo o hematocrito (PCS), condición corporal (CC) y lectura FAMACHA. El horario de pastoreo afectó (P<.0001) a HPG con 316.4 y 215.9, número de huevos por gramo de heces transformados para el horario matutino y vespertino, respectivamente; de igual manera, por el antihelmíntico afectó (P=.02) con 239.8 y 292.5, número de huevos por gramo de heces transformados para los animales con y sin antihelmíntico, respectivamente. El PCS no fue alterado (P>.05) por los efectos principales, ya que se obtuvo 19.33 y 20.82% para el horario matutino y vespertino, y 20.85 y 19.30 para con y sin antihelmíntico, respectivamente. La CC fue diferente (Chi2=.04) en el horario de pastoreo: a favor del grupo en horario vespertino, pero no por la dosis de antihelmíntico. Los valores de FAMACHA no presentaron diferencia estadística con los efectos principales. El pastoreo vespertino y el uso de un antihelmíntico fueron favorables al disminuir la carga de PGI. Se sugiere que no se utilice siempre el mismo principio activo en los antihelmínticos.

Metaphor and Poetic Expression in the Poetry of Sri Aurobindo
Authors: Majumder Rajib
Published: February 2024

Renowned as a multifaceted figure in the 20th century, Sri Aurobindo engaged deeply in aesthetics, poetics, and Vedic and Upanishadic interpretations. His extensive writings spanned various disciplines, emphasizing the significance of literary discourse shaped by figurative thought in understanding human experience. This paper explores the pivotal role of metaphor in both common and literary discourse, offering a contemporary analysis of Sri Aurobindo's poetry. His philosophical contributions present an alternative to foundational ontological and epistemological assumptions in contemporary scientific thought. Using compelling metaphors, Sri Aurobindo illustrates the concealed depths of the mind and ego, comparing them to a temple crown emerging from waves. He envisions humanity as more than its conscious awareness, describing the momentary personality as a mere bubble on the vast ocean of existence. Sri Aurobindo's pursuit of elevated states of consciousness underscores his commitment to transformative exploration.
