Authors: Gajić Boško , Tolimir Miodrag , Gajić Katarina
Published: March 2024

In this study, Fluvisol from the area of Stari Beĉej (Serbia) was investigated with the aim of evaluating selected chemical and physical indicators of soil quality affter its long-term use in crop production. Ten bulk soil samples (soil depth: 0-210 cm) were collected to analyze soil chemical properties (humus, CaCO3, pH, P2O5, K2O), texture (six samples, soil depth: 0-130 cm), dry-stable aggregate distribution and stability of soil aggregates (four samples, soil depth: 0-80 cm). Additional undisturbed core samples (100 cm3 volume) were also collected to determine soil bulk density, total porosity, field air capacity, and field water capacity. Water infiltration capacity was also measured in the field using a double ring infiltrometer. The results indicated that the soil had a two-layer profile and a silty loam texture (with a physical clay content of 41-42% and a colloidal clay content of 27-28%). The humus horizon has quite favorable chemical properties up to a depth of 60 cm, and at a depth of 60-80 cm it is alkalized under the influence of saline groundwater. From an agronomic point of view, the structure of this soil is favorable. The results of determining the stabillity soil aggregates show that the soil structure in the Ahp and Ah horizons at depth (0-40 cm) with a content of 41% of water-stable aggregates < 0.25 mm is significantly worse (less favorable) than in the surface part of the AhBca horizon (40-60 cm) with a content of ~58% of waterstable aggregates < 0.25 mm. The main physical properties are not particularly favorable in the Ah and AhBca horizons to a depth of 80 cm. The Ah horizon is very compact (bulk density: 1.33-1.38 g/cm3 ), and the air-filled porosity is very low (less than 5%) and small (5-10%) at all depths up to 80 cm, and it is lowest in the surface 0-20 cm layer, only 3.8%. Infiltration capacity is low. The reserves of soil moisture available for plant growth in the soil layer 0-100 cm are very good (> 160 mm water depth). In summary, the results of this study show that perennial tillage can lead to a loss of soil productivity and serious soil degradation.
Changes in the English jury in the 19th and 20th centuries
Authors: Antal Tamás
Published: March 2024

The present paper deals with the short history of the English jury in the modern age. The main goal of the author is completing a historical research and finding the most important features concerning legal institutions of the Anglo-Saxon type of lay jurisdiction in England and Ireland. The historical perspective gives a chance to examine the institutions of the jury as a court of citizens integrated into the jurisdiction of the state for a brief period of time. The author takes the view in several periods from the early 19th century up to the end of the 20th century. It is not the procedure but the organisational rules which are under discussion here with special attention to the conditions which determined the role of the jury as a part of county courts and sessions as well as the central tribunals in London. The literature was collected in the British Library during research intervals to have the opportunity to work from special sources not cited by Central-European scholars yet.
Autonomy of religious organizations in the legal order of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Đukić Dalibor
Published: March 2024

The right of religious organizations to independently decide on purely religious issues is one of the basic prerequisites is fundamental for upholding both communal and individual aspects of religious-freedom. The scope and content of religious autonomy may differ depending on the model of the relationship between the state and churches and religious communities. The basic hypothesis of the paper is that the protection of religious autonomy in Serbia does not deviate from the general international standards established by international conventions for the protection of human rights and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. However, there remains an opportunity for enhancement, particularly concerning the protection of rights for various factions resulting from divisions within formerly unified religious entities.
On enforcement in digital assets
Authors: Tešić Nenad
Published: March 2024

Digital assets are becoming increasingly important in today's society. Crypto currencies and crypto-tokens are considered as property by market participants and, more recently, by the courts. Recognition of the economic value of digital assets has also raised the issue of the possibility of forced execution on this subject - matter. As of 2020, digital property in the Republic of Serbia is regulated by a special law, including the collection of claims secured by digital assets. However, for the execution of unsecured claims on digital assets, the legislator refers to the general rules of the Law on Enforcement and Security. Such a legislative approach raises numerous dilemmas. It remains unclear: which enforceable title can be used as a basis for execution against digital assets; what kind of claims can be settled in this way; how the creditor has to specify the subject - matter of the enforcement; how to prevent the debtor from disposing of digital assets despite the commencement of enforcement procedure; how to secure the cooperation of debtors as well as third parties (i.e. custodians) in terms of information disclosure, transfer of private key etc. The very nature of crypto assets implies decentralisation, volatility and the ability to vanish ("disappearability"). These inherent characteristics make cryptoassets the challenging subject for enforcement. Accordingly the legal rules in this case should be fine-tuned in a way that is to a reasonable extent creditor-friendly in terms of efficiency, without neglecting the appropriate balance with the principle of proportionality in enforcement, as well as the compliance of enforcement agents' actions with fundamental rights and ethical principles, such as the protection of privacy etc. Digital assets can easily be transferred - "in the blink of an eye" - from one account to another, from an online wallet to an offline wallet, from one owner to another or (divided into smaller parts) to multiple owners, from one digital assets to another, from one jurisdiction to several etc., which makes the enforcement process extremely complex and, in some cases, even impossible. Therefore, enforcement procedure on digital assets must be particularly urgent. In this context, it is common for the creditor to request some form of interim measure - a pre-judgment attachment of digital assets - which the court should decide on in a short period of time. Ideally, this measure should have global effect, not limited to a single state or jurisdiction. In legal literature, such a measure is generally referred to as a "worldwide freezing order", which is intended to be universally enforceable without prior recognition by national courts. In addition, the law should allow the creditor to seek an injunction in respect of specific digital assets without identifying the holder(s) - in relation to unknown person(s).

Published: March 2024

Information technologies (IT), among other things, were created to preserve and improve human life and work in the field of communication, education, health preservation, environmental protection, etc. However, all technological innovations, in addition to positive ones, can have negative consequences for society itself (and its security). Thus, the development of IT is accompanied by numerous problems, questions and controversies that to a certain extent and in certain cases can lead to endangerment (individuals, groups, companies, states, the international community and humanity as a whole). This imposed the need to engage all (existing and new) social potentials in order to identify all the problems and consequences that the development and application of IT can leave for society. One of those potentials or mechanisms available to society is the security culture (in IT). Security culture is an absolutely positive category, and its basic function is to prevent endangerment and to provide an optimal state of safety and security. In this regard, the subject of this work is the analysis of various aspects of security culture in IT (primarily ethical, sociological, economic and legal). The aim of the work is to expand the theoretical fund of knowledge in the field of security culture in IT, as well as to practically improve the actions and work of all those who participate in the creation (development) and application of IT.

Arguing Islamophobia during COVID-19 Outbreaks: A Consideration Using Khuṣūṣ Al-Balwᾱ
Authors: Bakry Muammar , Syatar Abdul , Haq Islamul , Mundzir Chaerul , Arif Muhammad , Amiruddin Muhammad Majdy
Published: March 2024

The threat of Islamophobia continues to surface. The latest is related to COVID-19. Islam considered as the source of the virus suddenly went viral, even with the hashtag #coronajihad. The implementation of religious rituals by ignoring social distance by certain groups can be one of the triggers besides propaganda and conspiracy from anti-Islam. This article aims to provide an argument against Islamophobia with consideration of Khusus Al Balwa. The approach used is a combination of normative and empirical facts amid the heterogeneity of Muslims during the pandemic. An interesting finding from this research shows that khusus al-balwa is a concept that Muslims need amid co-19 hegemony, especially in terms of providing a complex understanding to present a calming Islam rather than a threat. In reality, khusus al-balwa happened a lot amid the pluralism of Muslims to prevent the outbreak of Islamophobia amid co-19 issues. Consideration of khusus al balwa contribute to prevent the negative stigma that could harass verbally and physically to the muslem. In fact, the special concept of al-balwa has not been much studied by observers of Islamic law which is covered because of the 'fame' of ‘umum al-balwa. Khusus al-balwa has not been fully taken into consideration by the Mufti, both individuals, and institutions in bringing forth fatwa products.
Formation and Development of Cultural Competence by Increasing Access to Material Forms of Historical and Art-History Heritage
Authors: Chmil Hanna , Zubavina Iryna , Kupriichuk Vasily , Kuznietsova Inna , Mishchenko Maryna
Published: March 2024

The formation of the practical competence of the cultural cycle is determined, first of all, by the formation of access to the fund of material and non-material forms of art, which makes it possible to expand the possibilities of an individual to increase his cultural level. The relevance of the study is determined primarily by the fact that each individual must not only carry out his practical activities but also form an understanding of the meaning of cultural studies in his mind. In this regard, and in the context of overcoming crisis phenomena in the economy, turning to non-material forms becomes a priority task for bearers. The novelty of the research is determined by the possibilities of increasing access to cultural products, while the importance of access is determined not only by high culture. The authors show that the ability to access forms of mass culture also matters. It is shown that one of the possibilities of access to popular culture is to increase the level of distribution of library access. Using the example of countries that declare their commitment to raising the cultural level of the population, the necessity for the development of digital educational resources is shown. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibilities of widely involving the population in the processes of digitalisation of information carriers about art and, on the basis of this, about the formation of general cultural competence in society as a whole.

Published: March 2024

On its path to European integration, Ukraine is constantly improving its antimonopoly legislation and strengthening its protection of economic competition. Before independence and the collapse of communism, Ukraine had a highly monopolized economy. The newly created Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine has, since its inception, had protection of economic competition as one of its main tasks. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the specific provisions of Ukrainian legislation and European legislation on the protection of economic competition, including the practice of its application. Poland and Germany were taken for comparison. On a case-by-case basis, this paper evaluates the role and importance of antitrust laws and the practical evaluation of the performance of competition authorities. The analysis of scientific works, legislation and specific administrative cases in these countries (based on the reports of the antitrust authorities for 2018) suggested that the activity of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, in terms of quantitative and qualitative indicators, generally corresponds to the level of work of the respective European institutions. An additional impetus to this process may be given by a closer European integration process in the field of economic competition protection by extending the EU Directives on this matter to the territory of Ukraine.

Published: March 2024

The study discusses the formation of the economic potential of an enterprise (Bosch company), as exemplified by service enterprises involved in the repair and maintenance of vehicles. The relevance of research in this area is determined by the large number of operating Bosch service companies engaged in servicing vehicles and the breadth of their services, which largely determines the firm's policy and forms its economic potential. The identification of criteria for assessing the formation of the economic potential of the enterprise, it is important to determine the economic patterns of development of enterprises operating in automobile service, contributes to a better understanding of the patterns that affect the development of enterprises in the automotive sector at large. Furthermore, the economic potential of the enterprise is formed as a joint result of its economic and business activities, and the presence of an extensive network of Bosch service enterprises significantly expands the possibilities for conducting such activities. Thus, there is a direct correlation between the number of Bosch automobile service enterprises, the services rendered by them in repair and maintenance of motor vehicles, the quality of work of such service enterprises and the formation of the economic potential of Bosch at large. The results of this study can be of significant practical importance for functioning and newly created enterprises in automobile transport service maintenance, in the aspect of identifying and stating fundamental principles that influence the formation of their economic potential and improve the quality of their work in general.

Published: March 2024

The study of the effectiveness of using cryptocurrencies as an investment resource was conducted on the basis of testing the hypothesis that the introduction of leading cryptocurrencies that are components of the CRIX index into the investment portfolio improves its quality (efficiency). Cryptocurrency investment opportunities are explored on the basis of statistics for July 2016-June 2019. An average annual return on investment (ROI), which is adjusted for passive income on an investment asset (PI), is used to evaluate investment performance. In this study, cryptocurrencies are compared with the following alternative investment areas: Forex market, equities (companies with the highest weights in Nasdaq 100, Euro STOXX 50), commodities, government bonds, real estate. The criteria were determined by the increase in the Sharpe ratio of the investment portfolio and its average annual return. Optimization of investment portfolios without cryptocurrencies and with them was performed on the basis of the Markowitz model. The result shows the confirmation of the hypothesis: the introduction of 3 cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin, Ripple, Litecoin – in the proportions of 2.31%, 1%, 1%, respectively, increased the Sharpe ratio of the investment portfolio by 3.29 points, and the coefficient of return by 9.42 percentage points while increasing the risk by only 0.51 percentage points. This result indicates that the quality (increase in efficiency) of the investment portfolio due to the introduction of cryptocurrencies and the ability to control the investment risk of the portfolio despite the high volatility of cryptocurrencies. This proves the investment (speculative) function of crypto-assets, which can be the basis for developing a model of accounting for crypto-assets.

The article is devoted to certain aspects of normative-legal regulation of regional development. In the conditions of transformation processes, transition to the European integration vector of development, change of the system of regional management by means of reform of decentralization there is a question of maintenance of effective development of regions. Adoption and implementation of management decisions is a key factor in ensuring harmonious sustainable development. In the absence of a clear comprehensive structure of distribution of powers between authorities at different levels, there are problematic aspects of providing information and analytical support for management decisions. The interaction of different branches of government and authorities at different levels is inefficient. The basis for establishing an effective management system at the regional level is the development of a regulatory framework that would ensure a clear division of responsibilities and powers of the authorities to address certain socio-economic, social, environmental and other issues inherent in the level of regional development. Compliance of the regulatory framework with today's requirements, the changes and transformations taking place in the country, world practices and international regulations is a priority to ensure effective decision-making and implementation of management decisions to create opportunities for regional development. The article analyzes the structure of management decisions at the regional level, taking into account the transformation processes in the system of regional governance associated with decentralization reform. The article develops ways to improve the development management system at the regional level.

Career Networking as a Praxeological Communicative Practice of the XXI Century in Social Theory
Authors: Zoska Yana V. , Scherbyna Viktor M. , Kuzmin Viktor V. , Stadnik Oksana F. , Bondarenko Olha V.
Published: March 2024

Career networking as a praxeological communicative practice is little studied in terms of effectiveness. The lack of research into the emotional, motivational, psychological and career effects of networking necessitates a study of the relationship between the types of career networking and these effects. The effects of networking in achieving career success were identified based on the electronic confidential survey of 102 employees of Ukrainian companies. The results of assessing the relationship between career networking types and emotional, motivational, psychological and occupational effects indicate that the relationship between variables is medium, low or absent. Therefore, the career effect is not related to networking, according to employees, if there is an average level of connection between the emotional, motivational, psychological effects and different types of networking. The study proves the subjectivity of the assessment of career networking and its effects. The article reveals the perception of career development methods: networking is perceived negatively as a way to achieve professional goals, which underestimates career performance. At the same time networking is perceived positively as a way to maintain friendship, motivation and level of satisfaction. The article confirms the connection between the subjective assessment of networking and the perception of networking as a "dirty and dishonest" way to get a job, achieve professional goals or career growth. In general, the subjective assessment of career networking causes low professional effects, while the emotional, motivational, psychological effects may be overestimated due to the positive perception of such effects by respondents.

The paper examines the role of civil society in Exposing COVID-19 corruption in Zimbabwe. The essence is in the possibility of learning how civil society can adequately act as a watchdog against corrupt practices in the management of COVID-19 in Zimbabwe. As such, the paper presents documentary reviews and analyses of the connection between civil society and COVID-19-induced corruption. Using reviews of various literature, this paper analyses the role of civil society in challenging COVID-19 linked corruption in Zimbabwe since the advent of the pandemic in the country. The paper concludes that civil society was critical in exposing corrupt practices within government and the Health Ministry in particular. Principal among these cases was the Drax Scandal, the Jaji Scandal and the private hospital's scandal. However, the extent of success varies with the type of corruption exposed and challenged. Relatedly, the endemic corruption problems in Zimbabwe explain why some civil societies aren't simply proactive in exposing corrupt officeholders both in public and private health sectors via a nationwide campaign.

Listening and speaking proficiently in English Second Language teaching is a perennial problem in South Africa. While scholars in the domain of ESL acknowledge that there is a severe challenge with teaching listening and speaking skills, there is a shortage of literature in this sphere. Although English is not the home language for most Black learners in South Africa, they are compelled to use English as the Language of Learning and Teaching (LoLT). This serves as a hindrance in developing learner’s proficiency in listening and speaking, which is further exacerbated by poor ESL teaching performed by teachers whose own ESL proficiency is limited. This paper seeks to explore the strategies used by teachers to teach listening and speaking skills to ESL Grade eleven learners’ in selected township schools in the Pinetown District, KwaZulu Natal. Township, in South Africa, refers to racially segregated and often underdeveloped urban areas created for people of color during the apartheid regime. Data was generated using individual semi-structured interviews with eight participating teachers and observation of classroom lessons and document analysis. A significant finding revealed that the claims made by the ESL teachers about their pedagogical practices tallied with the requirements of the Continuous Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) and their lesson plans but contradicted the ESL teachers’ actual practice in the classroom.
