COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE “SERBIAN WORLD” AND “GREATER SERBIA” CONCEPTS
Authors: Ljubomirović Aleksandar
Published: December 2024

This article aims to present designated outcomes of the author’s research on the Serbian world concept, which surfaced as an indispensable part of the public discourse in the year 2020, and has been ever since repeatedly identified with the notion of “Greater Serbia”. Hence, the methodology of the comparative analysis will be applied with the intention of systematically examining the resemblances and differences of the said concepts, including also elements of the qualitative content analysis. The qualitative content analysis includes pre-selected public statements of prominent regional stakeholders in which they identify the Serbian world with the “Greater Serbia” concept. This represents a significant approach for the understanding of the Serbian world per se and its comparison with other note-worthy concepts, because it is still regarded mainly as a mental construct. Therefore, whilst analysing this concept the focus must be placed on processes of mental shaping of the world as understood by the participants of the discourse, and on the process of the conceptualization of reality. Based on the results of the analysis, the author concludes that only its opponents regard the Serbian world as a modernized version of “Greater Serbia” with the purpose of discrediting the newly popularized term, and for which they assume will have an exclusively territorial connotation with imperial pretensions. However, the analysis has shown that the constant comparisons with “Greater Serbia” are part of an ongoing anti-Serbian campaign, and that the concept was not designed after any greater-state ideas. The Serbian world concept has a predominantly cultural dimension, with a focus on the promotion of the ‘world of values’ of the Serbian people.

Каdа је obavezno prisustvo okrivljenog u toku vodjenja krivičnog postupka a okrivljeni izbegava to učini i omogući nesmetano vođenje istog, postoje, Zakonom o krivičnom postupku predviđeni su uslovi kojima se njegovo prisustvo obezbeđuje. Postoji nekoliko predviđenih mera kojima se prisustvo okrivljenog može obezbediti počev od poziva kao najblaže mere do pritvora kao najteže mere koju je predvideo Zakonik o krivičnom postupku Republike Srbije, predviđsjući da se pritvor može primeniti kao poslednja mera procesne prinude. Razlozi za određivanje pritvora određeni su članom 211 Zakonika o krivičnom postupku, s tim da je osnovni preduslov za određivanje pritvora okrivljenom postojanje osnovane sumnje da je okrivljeni učinio krivično delo koje mu se stavlja na teret. U ovom radu osvrnućemo se ponaosob na zakonom predviđene osnove, koji opravdavaju i nalažu određivanje mere pritvora prema osumnjičenom.
DEPICTION OF CRIME IN VIDEO GAMES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Filipović Aleksandar
Published: December 2024

The portrayal of crime in video games has become a focal point of academic and societal debate due to its potential influence on players' perceptions of criminal behavior and morality. This paper critically examines how crime is depicted across different genres of video games, exploring the narrative structures, character development, and interactive mechanics that contribute to these portrayals. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining content analysis of popular crime-centered games with a review of player experiences and reactions, we assess the extent to which video games normalize or challenge criminal activity. Additionally, the study considers the implications of crime representation on both individual psychology and broader cultural attitudes towards law, justice, and morality. The findings highlight the complex and multifaceted role that video games play in shaping societal views on crime, with particular attention to the influence of immersive storytelling and player agency. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on the intersection of digital entertainment, psychology, and criminology, and offers insights into the potential impact of video games on social attitudes and behaviors related to crime.
(Supplemental Material) Sex and income level can be determinants for meat attachment behavior among Turkish university students
Authors: Günalan Elif , Parmaksiz Ayhan , Mutlu Hayrettin
Published: December 2024

Background: The Meat Attachment Questionnaire (MAQ) is a scale to measure the positive bond in meat consumption.
Aims: This study aimed to validate and assess reliability of the Turkish version of the MAQ and to explore its relationship with various factors, including sociodemographic characteristics, meat consumption habits, and subscales of the Green Eating Survey (GES).
Subjects and Methods: The study was carried out with 214 university students. Participants completed the MAQ, the Food Frequency Questionnaire, and the GES. Statistical analyses including item analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, intraclass correlation coefficient test - retest reliability, one-way ANOVA, Welch ANOVA, t-test, Pearson’s correlation, and post hoc tests (Tukey’s HSD and Games-Howell), were performed using SPSS (version 26). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted with the lavaan (version 0.6 – 13) and semPlot (version 1.1.6) R packages.
Results: All factor loadings were statistically significant, and high fit indices were obtained for the model tested in the second-order CFA model. (χ2/df = 151,93/101 = 1.50; RMSEA = 0.05; SRMR = 0.08; NFI = 0.97; NNFI = 0.99; CFI = 0.99; GFI = 0.98; AGFI = 0.97). Significant differences were found in several MAQ subscale scores: hedonism, entitlement, dependence, and global scores were higher among men (p < 0.05). The entitlement score was significantly higher in the “income < expenses “group compared to the “income = expenses “group (p < 0.05). Participants with higher red meat and poultry consumption exhibited significantly higher hedonism, dependence, and global MAQ scores (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The Turkish version of the MAQ can be accepted as a reliable and valid scale for use among university students. While factors such as sex, income level, and meat consumption appear to influence MAQ scores, body mass index and green eating behaviors do not have a direct effect.

Keywords: Green eating, meat, reliability, sustainability, validity.
Coğrafi İmgelemler: Mavi Anadoluculuk’ta Kimlik, Kültür ve Mekân

Published: December 2024

Bu yazıda, Türkiye’de 20. yüzyılın üçüncü çeyreğinde etkinlik göstermiş bir grup entelektüelin ortaya koyduğu Mavi Anadoluculuk düşüncesi, bir coğrafi imgelem olarak yeniden ziyaret edilmektedir. Anadolu’yu çeşitli medeniyetlerin etkileşimiyle şekillenen kültürel bir sentez olarak kavramsallaştıran Mavi Anadoluculuk, yarımadada yaşamış uygarlıkların katkılarıyla oluşmuş bu kültürel birikimi çağdaş Anadolu kimliğinin en temel bileşeni olarak konumlandırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Mavi Anadoluculuğa ilişkin birincil ve ikincil kaynakların sistematik olarak analiz edildiği çalışmada, Mavi Anadoluculuğun Türkiye’de geliştirilmiş özgün bir kültürel coğrafya kuramı olduğu ve alternatif bir kimlik projesi sunduğu öne sürülmektedir. Çalışmada, Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı’nın yaklaşık çeyrek yüzyıl yaşadığı Bodrum’un, bir “hakikat yeri” olarak, onun Halikarnas Balıkçısı’na dönüşümü ve Mavi Anadolucu fikirlerin yeşermesi üzerinde etkili olduğu; ayrıca söz konusu fikirlerin taraftar kazanarak zenginleşmesi ve yaygınlaşmasında da İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra Türkiye’nin Ege ve Akdeniz kıyılarında gerçekleştirilen mavi yolculukların önemli bir rol oynadığı öne sürülmektedir. Her ne kadar yirminci yüzyılın üçüncü çeyreğinde etkinlik gösteren Mavi Anadolu çevresinin ortaya koyduğu imgelem, neredeyse yalnızca entelektüel dünyada dolaşıma girmiş ve toplumsal tabanda güçlü bir karşılık bulamamış olsa da Mavi Anadoluculuk, Türkiye’deki kimlik temelli sorunlara geçerli çözümler getirme potansiyeli taşıyan bir coğrafi imgelem olarak önümüzde durmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda yazıda, Mavi Anadoluculuğun 21. yüzyıl bağlamında yeniden değerlendirilmesi için düşüncenin mevcut sınırlarının aşılması ve çağdaş teorik perspektiflerle yeniden ele alınması gerektiği önerilmektedir.

Authors: Komba Mercy M.
Published: December 2024

The Public Employees' Performance Management Information System (PEPMIS) was the focus of this study, which evaluated its effectiveness in government secondary schools in Mzumbe Ward, Tanzania. The study was guided by the expectancy theory that provided a framework for understanding employee motivation and behavior.   A qualitative case study design was used, involving qualitative interviews with 13 teachers purposively sampled from Mongola and Mzumbe Secondary Schools. Data saturation determined the sample size. Thematic analysis was used to analyze data.  The findings reveal that while PEPMIS enhances administrative efficiency and supports professional development, its effectiveness is hindered by challenges related to fairness, transparency, training, technical functionality, and network reliability, necessitating improvements for greater usability and satisfaction. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions can enhance the system's effectiveness, user satisfaction, and overall impact on organizational performance. The study recommends training programs for teachers and school administrators, addressing technical infrastructure issues, and incorporating feedback mechanisms into PEPMIS to make it more responsive to teachers' needs and expectations. This paper contributes to the understanding of PEPMIS from teachers' perspectives. It highlights important insights for policymakers and educators in improving PEPMIS implementation and its impact on the country's education sector.

MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR IPA DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KOOPERATIF TIPE JIGSAW
Authors: REZKI MAESTA
Published: December 2024

This scientific paper was motivated by the fact that Science (IPA) learning in classrooms has not yet achieved optimal results. Low academic scores and weak enthusiasm among students are the main challenges. One of the causes is the lecture-based teaching approach, which is "Teacher Oriented," making students passive recipients without opportunities to be active and creative. To address this issue, a Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted using the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning Model in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of three sessions, with each session lasting 2x40 minutes. Initially, the learning process progressed slowly as students were unfamiliar with this model. The teacher needed extra time to explain the roles of students within the core and expert groups. However, through repeated explanations, students began to understand and actively participate. Group dynamics improved, although some students were still less focused. The jigsaw model encouraged previously passive students to become active through group interactions, peer support, and a sense of camaraderie. As a result, students successfully completed both individual and group tasks. Qualitatively, the jigsaw cooperative learning model enhanced students’ motivation to actively engage in the learning process. Quantitatively, this method significantly improved students’ academic performance, particularly in Science subjects. Thus, this model offers an effective solution to overcoming classroom learning challenges.
ABSTRAKPenulisan karya ilmiah ini didasari oleh kenyataan bahwa pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (IPA) di kelas belum mencapai hasil maksimal. Rendahnya nilai akademik dan lemahnya antusiasme siswa menjadi tantangan utama. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah pendekatan pembelajaran ceramah yang bersifat "Teacher Oriented," yang menjadikan siswa sebagai objek tanpa memberi kesempatan untuk aktif dan kreatif. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, dilakukan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) menggunakan model pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Jigsaw dalam dua siklus. Setiap siklus terdiri dari tiga pertemuan dengan durasi 2x40 menit per pertemuan. Awalnya, pembelajaran berjalan lambat karena siswa belum familiar dengan model ini. Guru membutuhkan waktu tambahan untuk menjelaskan peran siswa dalam kelompok inti dan ahli. Namun, dengan pengulangan penjelasan, siswa mulai memahami dan berpartisipasi aktif. Dinamika kelompok berkembang baik, meskipun beberapa siswa masih kurang fokus. Model jigsaw mendorong siswa pasif menjadi aktif melalui interaksi kelompok, dorongan teman, dan nuansa kebersamaan. Hasilnya, siswa mampu menyelesaikan tugas-tugas individu dan kelompok dengan baik. Secara kualitatif, pembelajaran kooperatif tipe jigsaw meningkatkan motivasi siswa untuk berpartisipasi aktif. Secara kuantitatif, metode ini terbukti meningkatkan nilai akademik siswa, khususnya pada mata pelajaran IPA. Dengan demikian, model ini dapat menjadi solusi efektif untuk mengatasi kendala pembelajaran di kelas.

Mangroves exhibited considerable potential in mitigating global climate change, as these ecosystems can sequester and store substantial amounts of carbon in the form of live and decayed plant biomass across coastal areas. This research aimed to estimate carbon stocks and assess the dynamics of carbon reserves in the silvofishery area of Serang City, Banten, utilizing geospatial technology and cloud computing. Additionally, the study sought to develop the Indo InaC Data platform to monitor CO2 uptake on silvofishery land. The methodology employed included mangrove detection through unguided classification, and carbon stock estimation was performed using regression models derived from vegetation indices, specifically the Integrated Remote Sensing and Ecological Index (IRECI) and the Transformed Vegetation Index (TRVI). The results revealed fluctuations in mangrove vegetation cover between 2016 and 2023, with a notable decrease occurring from 2016 to 2017, as the cover declined from approximately 61.91 hectares to 50.53 hectares. This decrease was followed by an increase from 2017 to 2022, during which the area rose to 78.1 hectares; however, a subsequent decrease was observed in 2023, with the area reducing to 66.82 hectares. The estimated carbon reserves in the study area for 2023 amounted to 315 tons, reflecting similar dynamics to those observed in mangrove vegetation cover. The development of the Indo InaC Data platform is anticipated to facilitate ongoing monitoring of CO2 emissions uptake, and it is expected to inform future strategies for managing silvofishery land on an annual basis.

Authors:   Department of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University, Bogor, 16680, West Java, Indonesia, Pulunggono Heru Bagus
Published: December 2024

Addressing food crises and land degradation potential requires multisteps agricultural development, including soil fertility assessment. This study evaluates sandy soil fertility status along a toposequence transect in Sandai District, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan. Seven observation points (TP1, TP2, TP3, TK1, TK2, TK3, and TK4) were established, with soil samples collected from depths of 0-30 cm and 30-60 cm. Soil fertility assessment was conducted using three criteria: Five Major Soil Chemical Properties (FMSCP), Basic Cation Saturation Ratio (BCSR), and Sufficiency Level of Available Nutrients (SLAN). The FMSCP method exhibited low to very low fertility statuses, while the BCSR and SLAN methods revealed significant variations in soil fertility, ranging from deficient to excessive. Both the BCSR and SLAN methods demonstrated strong relationships with soil parent material and slope gradient, as evaluated through a multivariate approach. The BCSR method indicated deficient to balanced status at all profile points, whereas dominant balanced to excessive statuses were observed at all fertility points. The SLAN national criteria predominantly indicated deficient status for calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K), while the international criteria identified K deficiency only. This study served as forums to discuss fertility assessment in tropical soils. Also, recommends the potential for implementing the FMSCP criteria-based soil fertility assessment method for tropical Indonesian sandy soils and consider the involvement of balancing ratios in a more comprehensive soil fertility evaluation approach.
FDI and Industrialization: Evidence from Selected Asian Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: Ali Mubasher , Zahid Mariam , Akbar Shahid
Published: December 2024

The objective of this study was to analyze the role of FDI in the industrialization of both developed and developing economies in Asia. This study primarily seeks to examine the way(s) through which FDI can be a positive or negative driver for industrialization within these diverse two economies. The research have adopted an ex-post facto design, which is characterized by the inability to manipulate the data, ensuring the analysis is based on actual historical events and trends. The study have focused on five developing and five developed economies within Asia, encompassing a data span of 29 years (1990–2018). To estimate the influence of FDI and other variables, the research study have applied panel data regression and have applied the Fixed Effects Model (FEM) to account for variations across countries. Alongside FDI, other key variables has been incorporated into the analysis included inflation, trade, labor participation rate, and gross capital formation. The outcomes have revealed a nuanced relationship between FDI and industrialization: in developing economies, FDI has a positive effect, fostering industrial growth, while in developed economies, FDI shows a negative impact on industrialization. This divergent outcome underscores the different economic structures and stages of industrial development in these economies. Furthermore, in developing economies, inflation and gross capital formation have found to contribute positively to industrialization, suggesting that these economies benefit from capital investment and moderate inflation levels in their pursuit of industrial growth. In developed economies, gross capital formation has also demonstrated a positive influence, while the labor participation rate exerted a negative impact on industrialization, indicating that in more advanced economies, the dynamics between labor and industrial growth may be more complex and potentially hindered by structural labor market factors. These findings offer valuable insights into the varying effects of FDI and other economic indicators on industrialization in Asia’s developed and developing economies.

Authors: Mihailov Tatiana
Published: December 2024

Assisted human reproduction is a reproductive technique that became possible only thanks to the emergence and widespread use of various modern technologies by specialists of fertilization clinics, where female and male gametes, as well as embryos, are created, stored and preserved. At the same time, medically assisted human reproduction cannot exist without a clear and unequivocal legal component. Usually, after an in vitro fertilization procedure, results a larger than required for implantation number of embryos. Therefore, unused embryos can be destroyed or cryopreserved for a definite or indefinite period of time.

In ancient times, cosmetics were derived from natural sources such as plants, minerals, and animals which were used for various purposes including skincare, haircare, and spiritual rituals. Herbal cosmetics are skincare and beauty products that utilize plant-based ingredients such as herbs, roots, flowers, and essential oils to promote health and natural beauty. Herbal cosmetics offer numerous benefits, including improved skin health, reduced inflammation, enhanced natural beauty, and minimal risk of adverse reactions. An herbal face scrub is a gentle exfoliating product that utilizes natural herbs and botanicals to remove dead skin cells, reduce acne, and improve skin tone and texture. The main objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate natural rice flour face scrub. The preparation consists of natural constituents such as unpolished rice flour, shea butter, kokum butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E oil capsules. Different formulations were formulated and evaluated for various parameters such as organoleptic properties, viscosity, spreadability, pH, homogeneity, and washability and were found to be satisfied with all required characterizations. Thus, the prepared formulation of natural rice flour face scrub was effective for healthy, clear, and glowing skin.

A comparison has been conducted between the 3D-CRT technique and the IMRT technique on the radiation dose achievement of Planning Target Volume (PTV) and Organ at Risk (OAR) in nasopharyngeal cancer patients. This study used secondary data in the form of Dose Volume Histogram (DVH) graphs obtained from the results of the Treatment Planning System (TPS). Data analysis was carried out on the dose achievement at PTV with reference to The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) Report 62 in 1999, and the dose achievement at OAR with the guidelines of Quantitative Analysis of Normal. Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC). The analysis was carried out on 15 nasopharyngeal cancer patients using the 3D-CRT technique and 15 nasopharyngeal cancer patients using the IMRT technique at Ken Saras Hospital, Semarang Regency. The results of the analysis showed that, in the IMRT radiation technique, the percentage of patients who received optimal radiation doses at PTV was 88.9% while for OAR, 11.85% of patients received radiation doses exceeding the QUANTEC tolerance limit. In the 3D-CRT radiation technique, the percentage of patients who received optimal radiation doses on the PTV was only 20% while for OAR, 28.9% of patients received radiation doses exceeding the QUANTEC tolerance limit. The results of the study showed that the IMRT radiation technique is more efficient for nasopharyngeal cancer therapy, because the dose achieved on the PTV is more optimal and the dose on the OAR can be minimized so that the principles of optimization and radiation limitation can be met properly.

Authors: Jabeen Tahmeena , Khan Mohammad Jaffar , Rashid Hooria
Published: December 2024

Introduction: This research aims to evaluate the perception of students regarding plagiarism in educational institutions across Peshawar. Despite widespread exposure to information on plagiarism through media and literature, many students still exhibit uncertainties regarding its boundaries within academic writing.
Objectives: To gauge and define students' comprehension of plagiarism within academic contexts.
Materials & Methods: The study, conducted from February 01, 2021, to June 01, 2021, at the Department of Psychiatry, Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar, employed a quantitative survey methodology by administering a questionnaire to a randomly sampled group of 60 students comprising 24 males and 36 females, aged between 19 to 44 years, studying at selected educational settings of Peshawar. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 for descriptive statistics.
Results: Analysis of the survey responses highlighted significant confusion among students regarding the definition of plagiarism as well as its practices, indicating the need for a clearer demarcation between academic writing and plagiarism.
Conclusion: Considerable misconceptions exist about the nature and practice of plagiarism in students of educational institutions of Peshawar thus necessitating the need for clear cut guidelines about plagiarism and their implementation in all academic settings.
Interrogating the scientific and ethical rigor of “kalye” surveys
Authors: San Pascual Maria Rosel , Durana Anjenica , Cinco Myrnelle
Published: December 2024

As our contribution to Plaridel’s 20th anniversary, our paper focuses on the UP College of Mass Communication’s media and information literacy agenda, specifically highlighting the literacy required when engaging with surveys as social media content. In particular, our attention has been drawn to election-related kalye surveys that surfaced as popular local YouTube content eight months prior to the conduct of the May 2022 Philippine general elections. Kalye surveys (from the Filipino word “kalye”, or street) refer to person-on-the-street interviews about respondents’ electoral preferences while being filmed for live streaming or eventual uploading.
Grounding our analytical framework on the principles of valid, reliable, and ethical social science research, our analysis of 49 videos uncovered how YouTube content creators have exploited the scientific practice of survey research for partisan purposes by disregarding scientific and ethical rigor as they claimed to present themselves with authenticity. We conclude with a call for vigilance against movements that exploit scientific practices in forwarding partisan agenda, noting that kalye surveys are a part of the growing ecosystem of political information disorder in the Philippines.
The Catholic Church in the modern age and the works of Marshall McLuhan: An investigation into the dialogue between the church teachings on social communication and secular communication and media studies
Authors: Arriola Joyce
Published: December 2024

The Second Vatican Council is generally considered as the Church’s serious effort to engage the modern world, which at the turn of the twentieth century confronted the crisis brought by the two world wars, the Cold War, the increasing secularization of culture, and the challenges posed by the late industrial age and the new information society.

One of the documents of Vatican II, the Decree on Social Communication, laid down the principles and means by which the Church will utilize the mass media in its work and in guiding the laity in its proper use. Behind the scenes, Marshall McLuhan, a Catholic communication and media theorist, was seen to have a huge influence on the shaping of the details of Inter Mirifica and subsequent documents on social media. This paper is an investigation into the interaction between the Vatican and McLuhan, and how the Church sought his ideas in subsequent development of the decree on social communication, and how McLuhan represented, interpreted and invoked the Catholic faith in his various writings.
The Philippines as tool-forged nation: Revisiting Nick Joaquin’s use of Marshall McLuhan’s Medium Theory to reconstruct colonial history
Authors: Labiste Ma. Diosa
Published: December 2024

In his 2004 essay, “Culture as History,” the late National Artist for Literature, Nick Joaquin, retold the colonial history of the Philippines through Marshall McLuhan’s medium theory, framed in the famous aphorism “the medium is the message.” Joaquin followed McLuhan’s thought by positing that technology is behind the metamorphosis of the Philippines. Accordingly, this metamorphosis occurred between the 16th and 17th centuries with the arrival of tools, like the plow, from Spain that enabled the colonized subjects to improve their lot and forge their identity as Filipinos.

Joaquin and McLuhan’s thoughts, conjoined in the former’s essay, steered colonial history away from nationalistic currents, via objects, artefacts, or technology, towards a narrative of a tool-forged nation.

This paper examines Joaquin’s suppositions on Philippine history by inquiring into the central role of technology in colonization and its contestation. By revisiting Joaquin and McLuhan’s theories on technology, this essay delves into the challenge of understanding colonial history and the opportunities they offer for theorizing technology and society.
#Mediatization: Heeding the call for mediatization studies in Asia
Authors: Solis Randy Jay
Published: December 2024

In a milieu where technologies heavily mediate the environment and processes of everyday life, a cultural phenomenon that Sonia Livingstone described as the “mediation of everything,” scholars are encouraged to heed the call for more mediatization studies. The mediatization approach integrates the institutionalist and social-constructivist perspectives in critically analyzing the changes in both media and communications, on one hand, and culture and society, on the other hand. Reflecting on my past research works applying mediatization theories, I highlighted the value of the mediatization approach through its dialectics: Technological and social; Literal and symbolic, material and semiotic; Descriptive and critical; Objective and subjective, quantitative and qualitative; and Meso and micro levels. In the end, I also surfaced some criticisms of the mediatization approach, which, I argued, prove to be its strength in enabling researchers to keep pace in studying a highly mediatizing Asia and in indigenizing or Asianizing communication research and theorizing.
