Mucoraceae are ubiquitous fungi and are found in, soil, air, contaminated water and hospital environments too. These fungi usually gain entry into host through respiratory tract and sinuses either by direct spread or by angioinvasion. Major sites of infection are sinuses, lungs, skin, brain, and gastrointestinal tract. From sinus it may invade maxilla causing osteomyelitis of jaw. Mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection and the major risk factors include poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM), iron overload, prolonged corticosteroid use and immunocompromised status. CORONA virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is an infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The majority of patients have a good prognosis, but some patients become critically ill and even deaths occur.  Disease itself decreases cell mediated immunity and increases iron load in covid patients. For treatment of Covid-19 corticosteroids, antiviral drugs and immunomodulatory drugs are being used. Steroid reduces inflammation in covid 19 patients, but it pushes up the blood sugar which causes ketoacidosis, increases iron load, affects cell mediated immunity and favours the mucor mycosis growth. So, there are reported increasing cases of mucormycosis in post COVID-19 patients. Present study includes 25 reported cases of mucormycosis with jaw osteomyelitis in post covid patients with respect to clinical characteristics, past medical history, comorbidities medication received during covid 19, radiographic feature, lab diagnostic methods, histopathological reports, and treatment. So as to gain an insight of this disease as early diagnosis of mucor mycosis and treatment which can significantly reduce the mortality and morbidity of mucormycosis patients
„…hogy a haragnak csak az emléke maradjon” – Autoetnográfiai elemzés szenvedélybeteg szülők elvesztéséről és elgyászolásáról
Authors: Békési Tímea , Kassai Szilvia
Published: April 2023

A gyász, egy közeli személy elvesztésének élménye az élet egyik legfájdalmasabb eseménye, amelynek fizikai, pszichológiai és társadalmi következményei vannak. Szenvedélybeteg szülők gyermekei a gyásznak három rétegét élik át: a gyerekkor elvesztését, a „fantáziaszülő elvesztését” és a szülő elvesztését, amelyből az első kettő még a szülő halála előtt megjelenhet. Az első szerző autoetnográfiai beszámolóján keresztül mutatjuk be, milyen jellemzői vannak a szülő elvesztését követő komplikált gyászfolyamatnak. A szenvedélybeteg szülők elgyászolásának speciális mintázata van, általános érvényű megállapításokkal és valószínűleg jelentős egyéni különbségekkel. Az élmények alapján a szülő elvesztését követő gyászmunka tűnik a legkevesebbnek, mert azt megelőzően és azt követően is jelentős gyász- és önmunkára van szükség. Jelen tanulmányban is hangsúlyozni szeretnénk annak fontosságát, hogy a szenvedélybeteg családban nevelkedő gyerekek elérése és segítése minél hamarabb történjen meg.
Factors Affecting the Exercise of Police Discretion as Perceived by the Sorsogon City Police
Authors: Degollado Jean Percel Bitoca
Published: April 2023

Police as leaders hold a critical role and should stand firm and dignified. The main objective of this research work is to highlight factors that could influence the exercise of police discretion, as perceived by the Sorsogon City Police. This research work utilized the use of descriptive-correlation design, utilizing questionnaires as the means to identify the possible factors; twenty-two questionnaires were used and retrieved. Among the factors that got a high score for conducting an arrest is the location of the Place of the suspect to be arrested, with an average weighted mean of 3.32. As to the factor affecting police discretion based on case investigation, lack of interest on the part of the complainant scored high with a WAM of 3.0. While some factors scored low, this research work has concluded that (1) the length of service and rank of police offers can affect the exercise of police discretion. (2) some factors affect the exercise of police discretion as perceived by Sorsogon City police but then assured that their discretion is not clouded or influenced by other stated factors such as partisanship. (3) lack of human resources is still a prevailing factor in the impediment of police work.
POSITION OF THE ANAI FORMATION IN THE PROTEROZOIC SECTION OF THE BAIKAL SALIENT OF THE SIBERIAN PLATFORM BASEMENT

Published: April 2023

The paper presents the first U-Pb (LA-ICP-MS) dating results for detrital zircons from the quartzsericite-chlorite schist of the Anai formation within the Baikal salient of the Siberian platform basement. During the study the detrital zircons showed a major age peak at 1.86 Ga, which indicates that the rocks of the Anai formation were accumulated after the development of magmatic rocks of the South Siberian post-collisional magmatic belt with an age of 1.88‒1.84 Ga. This fact makes it possible to reconsider a point of view on the belonging of the Anai formation to the section of the Paleoproterozoic Sarma group whose rocks were intruded by granitoids of the South Siberian magmatic belt. It is shown that the rocks of the Anai formation can be considered as age and facial equivalents of the Proterozoic sediments of the Purpol formation of the Patom zone. Taking into account the Anai formation sediments intruded by sills and dikes of the Neoproterozoic (~720 Ma) dolerites, it can be concluded that the rocks of this formation were presumably accumulated in the Early Neoproterozoic time.

Published: April 2023

A systematic monitoring of the hydrosphere is important and necessary to maintain a good ecological status of Lake Baikal. The article presents the results of a five-year monitoring of the groundwater and surface waters quality in Listvyanka settlement. The goal is to determine the contamination level of drinking water supply system. In the field studies, portable measurement devices were used for monitoring temperature, pH, Eh, electrical water conductivity and water levels in wells, and water samples were taken for a complete chemical analysis. The analysis of the macrocomponent composition of water was carried out by various methods (flame photometry, volumetric titration, weight method, colorimetry) at the Center for Geodynamics and Geochronology of the Institute of the Earth’s Crust SB RAS (Irkutsk); the trace element composition was determined by the ICP MS method on the Element-2 device (Finnigan MAT, Germany) at the Institute of Geochemistry SB RAS (Irkutsk); microbiological analysis of water samples was performed at the Irkutsk Interregional Veterinary Laboratory; the analysis of isotope characteristics (δ 18O and δD) of water samples was performed in the Laboratory of Hydrogeology of the Institute of the Earth’s Crust SB RAS (Irkutsk) on a Picarro L2140-i gas analyzer.

The results obtained indicate a change in macrocomponent composition of waters and an uneven distribution of pollutants over the area. The content of 42 trace elements in groundwater and river waters generally does not exceed the regulatory requirements for drinking water; the exceptions are Fe and Mn. Ten wells do not meet the sanitary and epidemiological rules and norms SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01. The main sources of groundwater pollution are leaking septic tanks of numerous hotel complexes located in the valleys and on the valley slopes. The processes of water pollution and restoration of natural regime of water are of different intensity. For groundwater and river waters, there were determined the relative concentrations of stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen (δD and δ18О), and δD=5.5307·δ18 O–31.815 relationship and the deuterium excess values were obtained. Characteristics δD and δ18 O are the bases of the isotope database for the aquatic environment of Listvyanka settlement.

Published: April 2023

Context: "Environment or living location" includes the environment and earth views. Modern human activities to achieve prosperity and economic and social development have destroyed the environment. Changes have occurred in the climate and the habitability of the earth, and human health and life have faced severe risks. However, Islam has declared purity and a healthy living environment as the fundamental principle of life. Evidence Acquisition: This study discussed the environmental significance, environmental problems issues, and views of religion and the Quran about the environment. The primary purpose was to prevent environmental destruction based on Islamic and Quran guidelines and provide solutions for improving the environment and reducing pollution. The study was based on documentary and library study methods. Results and Conclusions: Defending the natural environment and the moral teachings of religion should be applied through effective enactment and implementation of laws and standards. People with self-control in undesirable situations are better considered in cases where conscience lacks positive motivation than those who have been raped and violated.
Testing and Evaluating Typing Ability in Research Writing
Authors: Asha Bavarava
Published: April 2023

Before a person can generate writing that can be deemed respectable when using a keyboard, it is usually acknowledged that they must first have exceptional typing talents. This is because learning to type requires much practice. This is an essential requirement in order to operate a computer keyboard. In this lesson, you will learn how to design a standardized copy-typing task, complete with instructions on how to build, execute, and use the job to evaluate a person's level of expertise in typing. This lesson aims to teach you how to design a standardized copy-typing task so that you can evaluate a person's level of expertise in typing. This lesson will show you how to build a task that can be used to determine a person's degree of experience in typing. This lesson aims to teach you how to design a problem. This is done so that we can analyze and determine the individual's skill level with typing, which is why it is done. This is done as follows: An inquiry into the dependability of the instrument may be carried out by doing an analysis that consists of both an initial test and a subsequent test at some point in time.

Even though the task has been validated across eleven different languages and the keyboard layouts are specific to each of those languages, we will use a corpus of Dutch copy tasks with a total of 1682 occurrences. This is because we are going to use a Dutch keyboard layout. This is because we will get a Dutch copy job done on the document. According to the findings of several studies, no link can be characterized as being linear between copying speed and age. Nevertheless, this is something that is the case. A Bayesian investigation concluded that there are variations in typing speed and the underlying inter-key interval distributions that occur across the activity's different facets (e.g., lexical vs. non-lexical materials; high-frequent vs. low-frequent bigrams).

The findings here support the argument that writing research should add copy-task metrics to analyzing data received from keyboard recording. This proposal was presented here. This makes it possible to more accurately compare and analyze the keystroke data of persons engaged in writing tasks that are more difficult or communicatively integrated. In the study of writing, there are several other potential applications for the copy assignment; this article delves into each of those potential applications in detail and discusses them.
An analysis of a writing instruction program that combines peer writing assistance and explicit writing instruction
Authors: Raj V Soni
Published: April 2023

Research has shown several advantages to receiving formal writing training and having one's writing edited by peers. However, most research papers that study these evidence-based writing strategies fail to give succinct and in-depth summaries of the therapies discussed in their findings. As a result, replication, dissemination, and deployment of evidence-based writing strategies are hampered by academics and educational professionals unaware of the underlying factors that underpin these treatments. This knowledge gap makes it difficult to replicate and disseminate evidence-based writing strategies. We could give a comprehensive insight into both of the writing training programs that were the topic of this study by doing an in-depth analysis of both programs. This allowed us to present a thorough viewpoint of both of the programs. More specifically, while students who participated in the EI+PA course received the same explicit writing training and worked together to complete their assignments, students who participated in the EI+IND course developed their writing skills independently. This was in contrast to the students who participated in the EI+PA course, who received the same explicit writing training. Therefore, a reporting system was implemented to provide an analytical description of both treatments. As soon as this method was finished, the design concepts, instructional teaching activities, and student learning activities were each broken down into minute detail. This was done to offer a more in-depth overview of the available writing lesson packages.
Teaching perspective-taking and coherence-generation to enhance secondary students' cross-genre writing abilities: A thorough explanation of an intervention
Authors: Mittal Brahmbhatt
Published: April 2023

This article provides an analytical description of why and how an instructional writing program for improving cross-genre writing skills in German secondary grade level was designed and put into practice. The program's focus is on improving students' ability to write in a variety of writing genres. The diagnostic study phase revealed that coherence management and perspective taking are ability components that significantly contribute to text quality across various genres. This confirmation was made by the theoretical assumptions that were established. Two writing courses, each consisting of 11 units and offered to students in grades 5 and 9, were designed in a manner comparable to one another to facilitate the training of these two skills in a pedagogical environment. There were 48 courses with 1,145 participants, consisting of 12 intervention and 12 control classes at each grade level. It is explained and justifies in great detail the decisions that led to the design of the intervention study and the corresponding didactical settings. Additionally, the developed self-learning materials are described in terms of their assumed learning potentials and the underlying didactical principles. Finally, the intervention is given a critical evaluation in terms of excellent intervention research and its pr per description, based on the acquired empirical experiences.
Word recall differences between writing by hand and typing
Authors: Chirag Bhrahmbhatt
Published: April 2023

This study determined how writing style affected people's recall and recognition of words. The three writing techniques used were handwriting using a pen on paper, typing on a conventional laptop keyboard, and typing on an iPad touch keyboard. A properly counterbalanced within-subjects experimental design was used, and 36 females between the ages of 19 and 54 participated. In this study, participants were given a wordlist and directed to use one of three distinct writing modalities to record words that were read aloud to them. For this study, the wordlist paradigm was applied. A person's memory for words typed using handwriting, a standard keyboard, and a virtual iPad keyboard was tested using oral free recall and recognition. For the analysis of the data, non-parametric statistics were used. Following analyses revealed that participants' free memory of words written in the handwriting condition was considerably higher than that of both keyboard writing conditions for the free recall measure. The findings demonstrate an all-encompassing influence of the writing medium. The findings also reveal that participants' free recall of terms written in handwriting was much better. There was no obvious effect of writing mode in the recognition condition. This shows that handwriting may have unique cognitive benefits that may not be completely retained while writing on a keyboard, especially concerning word memory components. One of these advantages might be word recall. The implications of the study's findings on cognition and education are investigated.
Il n’y a pas de nature sans société
Authors: Canivez Patrice ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

Without society there is no nature. Paradoxically, this is what Rousseau’s texts teach us. The paradox lies in the fact that the Discourse on Inequality seems to say the exact opposite. In the second Discourse, the history of the human species appears to unfold within the framework of an immutable, ahistorical natural order. In this article, I will highlight two points. First, I will show that nature understood as a whole does not really exist for the human being in the state of nature. It only exists for the educated, cultured, and therefore socialized human being. Second, I will analyze a passage from Rousseau’s Essay on the Origin of Languages, which brings to the fore the “negentropic” function of human labor. Without human labor, the natural order disintegrates. This, I will argue, makes nature a political problem for both Rousseau and for us.
Comparative Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Glass Ionomer Cement, Composite and Compomer in Primary Teeth: An In Vitro Study
Authors:   BDS, Desh Bhagat Dental College and Hospital, Muktsar, Punjab, India, Sharma Chetanya , Kaur Harjeet ,   BDS, Genesis Institute of Dental Sciences and Research, Ferozepur, Punjab, India, Aggarwal Medhavi , Jakhu Sapna
Published: April 2023

Background: Because the main dislodging pressures at the tooth restoration interface have a shearing effect, shear bond strength is crucial for the restorative material clinically. Therefore, greater shear bond strength suggests improved material to tooth bonding. Glass ionomer cement and composite is the most popularly used restorative material. Composite resins have better mechanical properties and esthetics than many other types of cement, but they need bonding agents as they are hydrophobic and hence fail to adhere to the teeth. Compomers are polyacid modified resin composites. Compomer and composite resin have similar physical properties, as they are thought to bond to dentin by micromechanical bonding. As resin composites are used in this, the polymerized acid monomer shows acidity when it comes in contact with the saliva and there is a reaction of fluoride-containing basic glass resulting in the cariostatic effect. Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of Glass Ionomer Cement (Fuji IX GP), Composite Resin (Filtek Z-250) and Compomer, (Compoglass, Ivoclar). Material and Method: An in-vitro, experimental study was conducted on 30 freshly extracted over-retained deciduous molars. Samples were randomly divided into three groups depending on the material to be used. Flat dentinal surface on tooth was prepared over which restorative materials were placed. The prepared specimen was subjected to shear test and the value obtained was compared. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to calculate the mean shear bond strength of each group. Result: It was observed from the study that the composite resin had the highest shear bond strength value (17.13 ± 1.54), followed by compomer (11.32 ± 1.05) whereas GIC showed the least shear bond strength (6.56 ± 0.87). Conclusion: It was concluded that composite restorative materials show higher shear bond strength than glass ionomer cement and compomer in primary molars, but shear bond strength of compomer was higher than that of glass ionomer cement.

Published: April 2023

Understanding mathematical concepts involve developing an intuitive grasp of the underlying ideas and principles that govern mathematical operations and relationships. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the difficulties and coping strategies in understanding mathematical concepts. This study used an explanatory sequential research design through the collection and analysis of quantitative data followed by a qualitative inquiry. To collect data, the researchers developed questionnaires for the quantitative and qualitative inquiries, which were validated by external experts. The sample of the study for the quantitative part included conveniently selected 297 students from a private Higher Education Institution (HEI) in Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Philippines, in the academic year 2017-2018. In addition, seven (7) individuals among the respondents participated in the Key Informant Interviews (KIIs). This was followed by one session of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) which was also participated by seven first-year students enrolled during the second semester of S.Y. 2017-2018. Five skills areas were examined: number fact, arithmetic, language, informational, and visual. Based on the results, students find difficulties in understanding mathematical concepts, specifically in visualizing mathematical concepts and manipulating geometrical shapes and spaces meaningfully. The students also demonstrated difficulties in analyzing the problem, understanding the concept, identifying the correct solution, establishing the equation, and simplifying the expression. In addition, the students cope with the difficulties through perseverance, expert consultation, reading and studying, constant practice, and confidence building. Mathematics teachers are recommended to design need-based teaching strategies to optimize student learning.
Etudes pétrographique et minéralogique comparatives des roches phosphatées des gisements de Kanzi et de Mvuangu au Kongo Central, RD Congo
Authors:   Centre National de Télédetection, Ministère de la Recherche Scientifique et Innovation Technologique, Kinshasa, République démocratique du Congo, Ndumba Don Raymond
Published: April 2023

Le but du présent travail est de faire une étude comparative sur la géologie, la pétrographie, la minéralogie et la cartographie numérique des roches phosphatées de gisements de Kanzi et de Mvuangu. Le microscope pétrographique à lumière polarisée et le logiciel QGIS version 3.6 ont été utilisés. Les résultats obtenus sur base des données de terrain et les analyses de laboratoire indiquent que sur le plan pétrographique, la roche de Kanzi a une structure microgrenue (calcédoine) et grenue alors que celle de Mvuangu est essentiellement constituée par des grains et galets de quartz. Du point de vue minéralogique, ces roches sont constituées principalement de la collophanite mais aussi de l’hématite, de la Kaonite et de l’Illite. La mise valeur de ces roches phosphatées à travers la création d’une industrie locale pour la production des engrais phosphatés au regard de l’importance de ces gisements permettrait de booster le développement de l’agriculture en République démocratique du Congo et dans la sous-région tout en contribuant à la création d’emplois, sachant bien que l’exploitation minière est l’une des principales sources d’emplois formel en Afrique.

The paper analyses the results of research focusing on attitudes of police officers in 6 regional police departments in Serbia - Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Novi Pazar, Vranje, and Kragujevac. The research offers an analysis of the police attitudes on discrimination, recognizing its essence, the scope of vulnerability of particular social groups and hate speech recognition, determining the existence and degree of social and ethnic gaps, establishing attitudes towards the measures which should improve the position of vulnerable groups and the institutions in terms of their responsibility for the occurence of discrimination and impact on the reduction thereof; personal experience of discrimination and analysis of attitudes regarding certain claims of stereotypical character. The results of this research are given in the comparative analysis with the results of research on the attitudes of members of the crime investigation police conducted in 2014 and public order and traffic police officers in 2015. There is also a comparative analysis of the results from the survey regarding citizens' attitudes towards discrimination that CESID conducted in 2019.
Diluents in samples of controlled psychoactive substances on the territory of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Bobić Vanja , Tončić Jovana
Published: April 2023

Smuggling and abuse of psychoactive substances has experienced an expansion with accelerated technological development over the past 20 years. The growing tendencies to use the means of passenger and air traffic, as well as the improvement of road and air-travel infrastructure and the connection of parts of the world unimaginable in the past, inspired traffickers of these substances to find new routes for transportation and smuggling in order to achieve the greatest possible profits, and at the same time avoid being answerable before the law. The tendencies of smugglers to make a profit are closely related to the financing of terrorist organizations that represent the global threat to humanity. This paper processed data on the number and composition of samples with pure psychoactive substances and samples of these substances with diluents, present for the course of 2021 and the first part of 2022, which resulted in the conclusion that in the current year there was an increase in the number of cases and samples, but also the number of diluents compared to 2021. The aim of this analysis is to determine the presence of diluents, their variety, based on the content of samples of controlled psychoactive substances such as amphetamine, heroin, cocaine and MDMA delivered to one of the organizational units of the National Center for Criminal Forensics in the observed period, and to potentially draw conclusions about trends in the smuggling of controlled psychoactive substances.
Cognitive dynamics: Red Queen semantics versus the story of O
Authors: Ludlow Peter
Published: April 2023

It appears that indexicals must have fine-grained senses for us to explain things involving human action and emotions, and we typically identify these different senses with different modes of expression. On the other hand, we also express the very same thought in very different ways. The first problem is the problem of cognitive significance. The second problem is what Branquinho (1999) has called the problem of cognitive dynamics. The question is how we can solve both of those problems at the same time. Vojislav Božičković (2021) offers one solution in which the cognitive dynamics runs through the objects of the attitudes. I discuss this solution and offer an alternative in which the theory of cognitive dynamics has no use for the objects of the attitudes to unify expressions of attitudes. When we say or believe "the same thing" using different modes of expressions, it is by virtue of our deploying a dynamic theory of attitude expression. Like Lewis Carrol's Red Queen, we must run to stay in place.
De se thinking and modes of presentation
Authors: Stokke Andreas
Published: April 2023

De se thoughts have traditionally been seen to be exceptional in mandating a departure from orthodox theories of attitudes. Against this, skeptics about the de se have argued that the de se phenomena demand no more of our theories of attitudes than traditional Frege cases. In this camp one view is that the de se can be accounted for by MOPs in the same way that MOPs can account for how it can be rational to believe, for instance, "Hesperus is shining" while also believing "Phosphorus is shining." This paper formulates some minimal conditions that de se MOPs must have in order to explain the relevant de se phenomena. Some potential replies are answered. I conclude that de se MOPs are not exceptional.

Authors: Manojlović Milica , Gvozden Matija , Milojičić Jelica
Published: April 2023

The aim of this study was to construct and validate a new instrument for assessing high-school students' learning styles. The instrument consists of 7 dimensions that measure a person's approach to learning through 52 items. A total of 801 pupils took part in the study, 160 of which were gifted scholarship students. Results confirm sound psychometric properties and validity of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis identified 7 factors that explain 46% of the total variance: Time management, Individuality, Relating ideas, Deep meaning, Strategies, Abstractness and Motivation. Confirmatory factor analysis confirms the basic factor structure while highlighting room for improvement. The scale significantly contributed to the prediction of general academic achievement and grades in specific subjects. Discriminant analysis demonstrated the instrument's ability to differentiate between gifted students and the general student population with an 82.4% success rate. We conclude that our instrument can be used to assess the learning styles of students and can serve as a useful tool for predicting individual academic achievement.
Horizontal learning and management: Internal potential for developing school into learning community
Authors: Đermanov Jelena , Isidora Korać
Published: April 2023

In this paper, teachers' horizontal learning is discussed from the perspective of creating a stimulating environment for its implementation. The questions of the role and competence of the school principal in that process have been analyzed, as well as the questions of whether and how the school can develop into a learning community by means of teachers' joint collaborative learning. In the main part of the paper, we point out the importance of the systemic approach in understanding the interdependence of individual and organizational learning processes within the school, as well as the key influence of the principal in modeling these processes in the transformation of the school into a learning community. The conclusion is that the complexity of organizational processes aimed at improving quality, which in the school context are much easier to prevent than to start and manage them, implies the appropriate competencies of the principal as a leader and/or manager.

Authors: Vučinić Dragiša , Arsić Zvezdan , Antonijević Radovan
Published: April 2023

This paper presents the results of a research aimed at determining the motivational actions of teachers in the subject teaching of mathematics. The aim of the research was to determine the quality of teachers' motivational actions in teaching mathematics in the higher grades of elementary school. The research sample included 570 seventh-grade students. It was established that students evaluate the teachers' motivational actions in different ways. In addition, the results of the research revealed a statistically significant connection between students' evaluations of the teachers' motivational actions and the level of student achievement in mathematics. A higher degree of achievement was observed among the students who said that their mathematics teachers motivated them in different ways and developed their interest in learning mathematical content. On the other hand, a lower degree of achievement expressed in numerical grades was found among the students who stated that quality motivational models were not often represented in their mathematics classes.
Gender differences in quality of life and exercise motivation of adolescents of average and increased body mass
Authors: Ivanović Miroljub , Ivanović Uglješa
Published: April 2023

The main aim of this transversal study was to examine the relevant differences between the constructs of quality of life and exercise motivation among male and female adolescents of average and increased body mass. The sample included high school students from Valjevo (N = 337). The average age of the participants was M = 16.53 years (SD = .38). Two measuring instruments were used: The Exercise Motivations Inventory-2 (EMI-2) and The Kidscreen Questionnaire -27 (TKQ). The results of the Cronbach's alpha suggested that the questionnaires used in the research have satisfactory level of reliability and internal consistency, and are valid for assessing adolescent population in Serbia. The research has shown that there are internal and external motives for adolescents' exercise motivation, and that the male adolescents more favourably perceive the quality of life. Statistically significant gender differences were found, there was higher level of the evaluation of the TKQ construct among male adolescents than female adolescents which is the consequence of a more substantial view of physical well-being, pleasant feelings and moods, good family and social environment, as well as the ability to organize and arrange free time. It was also found that participants with average body mass prefer the perception of own physical activity and health more than their peers with increased body mass. Male adolescents do physical exercise for enjoyment, challenge, competition, strength and endurance, as well as for social reasons (factors such as belonging to a group, pressure, and acceptance), whereas female participants are more willing to exercise in order to control their body mass. The results of the Mann-Whitney U test revealed relevant gender differences: adolescents with average body mass are more likely to exercise because they enjoy the activity, while adolescents with increased body mass are more stimulated by the possibility of body mass regulation (p ≤ .01). This research discussed practical implications of the results on creating the motivation for exercise and quality of life among adolescents of both sexes with normal and increased body mass (BM).
Burnout syndrome in athletes
Authors: Trifković Nada
Published: April 2023

Burnout syndrome is a consequence of accumulated stress, caused by excessive engagement, both in the physical and mental (psychological) domains. It is characteristic of many professions, especially professions that involve direct work with people (healthcare, education, army, etc.), and in sports it is almost inevitable. The two most common reasons that cause burnout syndrome are: setting hard-to-achieve goals or unrealistic deadlines and trying to meet other people's (imposed) expectations. In both cases, endurance limits are pushed, which leads to burnout and has consequences for the entire human body and psychophysical health. We live in a harsh age where it is not enough to be successful, the demand is to be the best. This ultimatum is particularly prominent in sports. Athletes are distinguished from others by discipline, perseverance, persistence, focus on the goal (victory), sacrifice and responsibility. Top fitness and top results are always expected from them. The question arises: Is it even possible to achieve top results and avoid the burnout syndrome? In addition to the analysis of causes, symptoms and consequences, the paper seeks an answer to this question.
The nature of contemporary reality
Authors: Bratina Boris
Published: April 2023

Reality seems to have become a matter of ownership-everyone supposedly has the right to 'their' reality. In contrast, to this supposed freedom of acceptance, there is a 'scientific' interpretation of reality, which claims to be the only correct one in modern times. The text presented here wants to show not only the limitations of the 'scientific' interpretation, as a pure formalism, but especially that its ideological glosses cannot reveal the reality. Instead, they falsify it, not just as the success of theory, but as reality itself. This is especially visible in modern times. In that name, over a hundred years have passed since the theory suppresses subjectivity in the explanation of reality; philosophy at the level of the establishment has accepted this very task. However, it was not motivated only by theoretical reasons, but intentionally, as an imposition of the nature of reality and the idea of the human nature of subjectivity. Although the 'primacy of the theoretical' was promoted after Kant's 'primacy of the practical', theory as a formalism manifested violence in its own understanding of reality and at the same time, after all the apologies, subjectivity was not accepted within it as the foundation of reality, but as a place of application of systemic results. The author shows that this procedure is possible as an action in reality, but that it is beyond his power to explain it. Finally, the author is in favour of reintroducing subjectivity into the theoretical structuring of reality, because its interpretation without subjectivity is as wrong as it is involved in the interests of subjectivity that are not subjectivity as subjectivity. They think that from the epistemological situation and diagnosis of modernity, it is possible to derive a theory that can take into account the essential nature of subjectivity in the interpretation of the nature of reality.

Attachment style as a predictor of job satisfaction: The mediating role of social comparison
Authors: Cocić Nikola
Published: April 2023

The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of prediction of job satisfaction based on the style of attachment (avoiding/anxious), with the mediating role of social comparison. 325 employees participated in the study, of which 125 female and 200 male. The data from the study shows statistically significant correlations between all variables. As for prediction, the obtained results suggest that based on the avoiding style of affective attachment, it is possible to directly predict a person's job satisfaction level, and that social comparison has a significant, albeit a partial mediation role in that relation. The anxious style of affective attachment did not achieve a statistically significant direct effect on the predictor, but, in combination with social comparison, a total effect that is statistically significant was found, which confirms that social comparison has the role of a complete mediator in the relation. The results were discussed in terms of set theoretical assumptions, the limitations of the study were brought up, as well as guidelines for future research.
Teaching sociology in museums
Authors: Marković-Savić Olivera
Published: April 2023

Education system is situated in formal educational and pedagogical institutions. However, considering that schools are not the only places for education, this paper examines the possibilities of teaching sociology in museums as a form of out-of-classroom learning. Teaching sociology in a museum provides opportunities for developing lasting basic knowledge and life-long learning, establishing and developing aesthetic and critical thinking aspects of students' personalities, and observing personal lives and experiences within a wider social context. The paper shows suggestions for this type of out-of-classroom learning, teacher's role in planning and visiting museums, teaching methods and units that can be attained in this form of learning, and a museum as an educational instrument. Learning through collaboration with other institutions in the local community shifts the learning context towards more complex cognitive processes. In the process of joint processing of a phenomenon, constructive discussion is encouraged and carried out in an unconventional form of class. At the same time, the cooperation between the local community and the school is being improved because the school upgrades its role of knowledge transfer to the role of a living centre in the community, and the school is actively involved in the needs of the local community. Among the teaching methods applicable to teaching in a museum, we have singled out a dialogical method and an interactive method because of their closeness to the constructivist approach in which the process of acquiring knowledge is conceived as the creation of the individual and the product of constructions. The essence of the teaching process in modern education lies in competencies among which the most important is that a student learns to learn and apply the acquired knowledge in practice.
Literary criticism of Milenko Maticki
Authors: Đuričković Milutin
Published: April 2023

The main purpose of this paper is to enlighten literary critical thought and work of Milenko Maticki (1936-2001), a well-known writer for young people, as well as for adults. In the constant touch with literature, and in the capacity of editor of Politics for Children, Maticki based his literary-critical contributions on strict selection and valid aesthetic-artistic criteria, showing his poetic affinities and good knowledge of literary theoretical and methodological parameters, which confirmed his creative agility and presence on the ex-Yugoslav literary scene. The paper shows that the literary criticism of Milenko Maticki, despite its professional quality and undoubted value, stayed in the shadow of his prose for young readers.

Síndrome de dificultad respiratoria en el neonato: del desarrollo embrionario al manejo de terapia intensiva
Authors: Piña-Zarrabal Sergio Arturo , Aguilar-Romero Diego , Martínez-Vázquez Rafael
Published: April 2023

El nacimiento de un bebé prematuro conlleva importantes repercusiones al sistema de salud, ya que sus complicaciones se asocian de manera estrecha con la mortalidad infantil. La patología respiratoria destaca por ser la principal causa de morbilidad y mortalidad en estos pacientes, siendo el Síndrome de Dificultad Respiratoria por déficit de surfactante la patología que se presenta con mayor frecuencia. El sustrato fisiopatológico de esta enfermedad es la deficiencia cualitativa y cuantitativa de surfactante pulmonar, un complejo de fosfolípidos y proteínas que reduce la tensión superficial dentro del alvéolo. El pulmón inmaduro, que carece de los niveles adecuados de esta sustancia, sufre de colapso de las estructuras alveolares, lo cual impide un adecuado intercambio gaseoso y concluye en niveles bajos de oxígeno en la sangre. La sospecha inicial es meramente clínica, con signos de dificultad respiratoria que pueden ser fácilmente identificados desde la sala de parto, siendo los más destacables taquipnea, aleteo nasal, quejido espiratorio y retracciones intercostales, subcostales y/o subxifoideas. El diagnóstico se integra con una radiografía de tórax, la cual tiende a mostrar un clásico patrón retículogranular con vidrio despulido. El manejo de estos pequeños pacientes se centra en tres pilares, siendo el central la inducción de maduración pulmonar con la administración de corticoesteroides a aquellas embarazadas con riesgo de parto pretérmino. Aunado a esto, el uso de presión positiva y surfactante exógeno ha cambiado por completo el pronóstico de estos pacientes, el cual es cada vez más prometedor.

Sanskrit titles of two Pagan kings in Pali and Sanskrit inscriptions
Authors: Zaitsev Ivan Alekseevich
Published: April 2023

This article deals with the issue of recording royal titles in inscriptions in the languages ​​of the Indian cultural tradition: Sanskrit and Pali. Using the example of a study of sources, the phenomenon of using the notation of titles is demonstrated, taking into account the use of Sanskrit spelling norms in inscriptions in the Pali language written using the Mon script. Such a phenomenon is of a non-permanent, variable in nature, which indicates the absence of a clear standard for recording the royal title in Pagan. The significance of this phenomenon is betrayed by the fact that Pagan was a political center that was under the overwhelming influence of Theravada Buddhism, which suggested an orientation towards the Pali language as one of the main languages ​​of the canon and political culture. Possible reasons that prompted the Pagan rulers to use Sanskrit titles include the support of Brahmin cult shrines, which influenced the description of the figure of the ruler. The presence of such a phenomenon allows us to clarify some of the conclusions of historiography about the use of specific writing systems for recording texts in specific languages.
