Authors: Kaur Prabhjeet , Goel Manish Kumar , Prasuna Josyula Gnana
Published: November 2024

Background: Providing care for chronic conditions at home imposes various responsibilities on caregivers, affecting financial, physical, emotional, and social domains. Over time, these responsibilities can accumulate and become significant stressors. Aims & Objectives: The study aims to assess the magnitude, factors and reasons of stressors faced by caregivers of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Material and Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Delhi. A sample of 384 households was obtained through systematic random sampling. The sampling unit was the household, and the study units were the primary caregivers of individuals with cardiovascular diseases. Results: Among 384 caregivers, 223 (58%) were female, and 50.3% were spouses of the patients. The magnitude of stressors ranged from 79.4% to 90.4%. The main stressors identified were economic burden (70.8%), knowledge about the medical condition (67.7%), and changed patient behavior (65.6%). Significant associations were found between stressors and certain socio-demographic factors (such as occupation and relationship to the patient) as well as disease-related factors (such as duration of caregiving, regularity of treatment, patient condition, ADL impairment, and multimorbidity of CVD). Conclusion: These results highlight the dyadic relationship between patients and caregivers, emphasizing that caregivers are a high-risk group that also requires attention and support.

Authors: Savio Rajesh D , Alhaji Mohammed H
Published: November 2024

Pipeline technologies have significantly improved project execution by providing smart tools to address constraint’s and improve the project cost and schedule. The Jazan Abha Pipeline Project (JAPL-2) aimed to develop oil supplies to the southern region of Saudi Arabia by constructing and upgrading pipelines over more than 90 km of challenging terrain. This paper discusses the state-of-the-art advancements utilized to complete joint activities in the JAPL-2 project connected with the existing JAPL-1 pipeline. Key challenges included creating connections in remote areas and steep inclines, requiring precise regulation to minimize closure times and avoid extensive downtime. The approach incorporated advancements from Remote Techno Plug (RTP) and BISEP, along with engineered supports, to provide robust pipeline separation and reduced downtime. These developments facilitated double block and bleed isolation, remote-controlled operations, and consistent hot tapping, ensuring safe and efficient transitions. The implementation framework included two four-day closure periods to connect tie-ins at Booster Stations (BS1) and (BS2). This approach minimized operational interruptions, enhanced safety by reducing manual task loads, and improved resource usage. The team obtained necessary approvals, conducted an in-depth review, and implemented the plan. High-level advancements in key separation and integration were important in overcoming project challenges, resulting in reduced downtime, improved safety, and consistent standard operations. The outcome concluded a successful story by accomplishing the required job safely and proving the team’s effort in strategizing the execution by selecting the most appropriate and advanced technologies.
Exploring Psychological Violence in the Workplace: Implications for Mental Health and Organizational Well-being
Authors: Velásquez Nestor Raúl Porras
Published: November 2024

This study examines workplace violence from the perspective of occupational health psychology, focusing on its psychological impact and the development of intervention strategies. Using a historical approach, the research reconstructs the organizational discourse of violence by analyzing how subjectivity is controlled within workplace contexts through language, actions, and power dynamics. Workplace violence, including mobbing and psychological harassment, emerges as a systemic issue driven by structural and symbolic violence, deeply ingrained in organizational frameworks and supported by scientific narratives and self-regulation mechanisms. The findings indicate that such violence not only perpetuates but also institutionalizes docile work subjectivities, viewed as desirable in many organizational settings. The study provides a novel contribution by emphasizing the interplay between occupational health psychology and the broader sociocultural contexts that shape workplace interactions. It underscores the psychosocial risks posed by workplace violence to employees' mental health, organizational cohesion, and overall productivity. The conclusions advocate for comprehensive intervention strategies that address the root causes of workplace violence, promote healthier organizational environments, and reduce psychosocial risks. By integrating empirical insights and theoretical perspectives, this study offers valuable implications for policymakers, organizational leaders, and researchers seeking to mitigate the negative impacts of workplace violence.
The Effectiveness of the Self-Protection Model on Children’s Assertive Behavior In Sexual Violence
Authors: Amnestito Zafhira Alayda , Jati Sri Nugroho , Vidyastuti
Published: November 2024

Children are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence because they are considered weak or powerless. Research data has found that 20% to 33% of girls and 10% to 16% of boys will become victims of sexual abuse before the age of 18. Kubu Raya Regency recorded that in 2021, there were 74 cases of violence against children and adolescents, which is quite high, with the majority of cases being sexual violence experienced by children aged 6-12 years. This indicates that children need to learn self-protection efforts through the Self-Protection Model. The Self-Protection Model is an intervention model provided as an effort to address the issue of sexual violence against children. This study employs a quantitative experimental design. The study uses purposive sampling, targeting children aged 9-12 years; attending elementary school; and willing and permitted by the school to participate until the intervention sessions are completed, with a total of 10 boys and 10 girls. Data analysis shows a difference in the application of the Self-Protection Model. The results of the Wilcoxon test output "Test Statistics" indicate that the Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) value is 0.000. Since the value of 0.000 less than 0.05, it can be concluded that Ha is accepted. This means there is a significant difference in assertive behavior between the pretest and posttest results, suggesting that the Self-Protection Model has an influence on children as a method of self-protection against sexual abuse.
Abstrak: Anak-anak rentan terhadap kekerasan seksual karena dianggap lemah atau tidak berdaya. Data penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 20% hingga 33% anak perempuan dan 10% hingga 16% anak laki-laki akan menjadi korban kekerasan seksual sebelum usia 18 tahun. Di Kabupaten Kubu Raya tercatat pada tahun 2021 terdapat 74 kasus kekerasan terhadap anak dan remaja, dengan mayoritas kasus berupa kekerasan seksual yang dialami oleh anak-anak usia 6-12 tahun. Ini menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak perlu mempelajari upaya perlindungan diri melalui Self-Protection Model. Model ini adalah model intervensi yang diberikan sebagai upaya untuk mengatasi masalah kekerasan seksual terhadap anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimen kuantitatif dengan sampel purposif, menargetkan anak-anak berusia 9-12 tahun, bersekolah di SD, dan bersedia serta diizinkan oleh pihak sekolah untuk berpartisipasi hingga sesi intervensi selesai. Sebanyak 10 anak laki-laki dan 10 anak perempuan berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Analisis data menunjukkan perbedaan dalam penerapan Self-Protection Model. Hasil dari uji Wilcoxon output “Test Statistcs”, diketahui Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) bernilai 0,000. Karena nilai 0,000 kurang dari 0,05 maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Ha diterima. Artinya ada perbedaan antara hasil perilaku asertif untuk pretest dan posttest, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh dari Self-Protection Model terhadap anak sebagai upaya perlindungan diri dari kekerasan seksual.

Investigating the Relationship between Self-Efficacy and Reading Comprehension among Iraqi Secondary School EFL Learners
Authors: Alabbaichy Leena Saad Faaik , Mat Nur Huslinda Che , Ramli Nor Fazlin Mohd
Published: November 2024

Several reports suggest that self-efficacy is a critical determinant of reading comprehension among EFL learners. While extensive work has assessed the relationship between self-efficacy and reading performance, little to no information exists on how self-efficacy influences reading among Iraqi secondary school EFL learners. Additionally, there is also a scarcity of studies employing focus group discussions that probe into the educational and contextual issues contributing to students’ difficulties in reading comprehension. This study uses both quantitative and qualitative approaches to identify the factors affecting reading comprehension challenges among Iraqi secondary school EFL learners. Participants completed a survey on self-efficacy and a reading comprehension test, and a group of participants took part in a focus group discussion. Relationship analyses were conducted to assess the direct link between self-efficacy and reading comprehension, and students’ narratives from group discussions were transcribed to gain in-depth insights. Results revealed that self-efficacy has a positive and significant impact on students’ reading comprehension scores. Learners with higher self-efficacy scores performed better in their reading comprehension tests, while those with lower self-efficacy showed poorer performance. The qualitative findings further highlighted five key factors behind reading comprehension challenges: limited vocabulary, lack of interest, inadequate practice, insufficient support, and ineffective teaching approaches. These results provide useful insights for educators and policymakers on the factors that both facilitate and impede reading comprehension among Iraqi secondary school EFL learners.

Authors: Fernandes Buosi Carlos , Lopes Martines Daniel , Da Silva David , Custodio Ramos Marcelo , Fernandes Buosi Pedro , Kelver Zagolin Renan
Published: November 2024

A fibromialgia (FM) é uma condição crônica que vai além da dor física. É caracterizada por dor muscular generalizada, rigidez e sensibilidade, mas também traz consigo outros desafios, como fadiga, ansiedade, depressão e distúrbios do sono. Esses sintomas, quando combinados, impactam profundamente a qualidade de vida das pessoas, prejudicando tanto o bem-estar físico quanto o emocional. Para diagnosticar a doença, o American College of Rheumatology (ACR) sugere critérios como dor em pelo menos 11 dos 18 pontos sensíveis conhecidos como tender points, dores em ambos os lados do corpo, acima e abaixo da cintura, e que persistam por mais de três meses. A estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea (TENS) tem se mostrado uma alternativa promissora, a qual emite impulsos elétricos através de eletrodos posicionados sob a pele, ajuda a reduzir dores crônicas e agudas, além de auxiliar na reabilitação muscular e no controle de edemas, sendo uma terapia não invasiva de baixo custo, que usa impulsos elétricos para aliviar a dor, amplamente utilizado para tratar dor crônica, incluindo a dor da fibromialgia, modulando sinais de dor e estimulando a liberação de endorfinas. O presente trabalho busca explorar, por meio de uma revisão sistemática, a eficácia do TENS no tratamento da fibromialgia, analisando estudos já publicados e identificando os parâmetros mais indicados para promover o alívio da dor.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to review the relationship between e-governance and local community development by specifically, focusing on four selected services, viz., universal education, youth welfare, reproductive health and agricultural development in Uganda.
Methodology: The study took a review of obtainable secondary literature by specifically looking at online materials both published works such as journal articles, policy statements, statistical reports as well as annual and/or quarterly reports. The choice of secondary literature, organized thematically, provided a wider purview of the scattered, yet vital aspects, pertaining e-governance in social service delivery.
Findings: The outcomes, from the review, indicate that Uganda has made several in-roads regarding universal primary education, youth welfare programs, reproductive healthcare services and agricultural development through various interventions aided by e-governance platforms. However, a number of systemic and structural challenges continue to pull-back national and local efforts especially seen from online mechanisms. 
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This review contributes immensely to the modern community transformation mooted in a digital era where enabling policies and practices can benefit from by reversing the impingements as well as the consolidating the success stories. We encourage the need for government to prioritize lowering the cost of internet services as a way of enhancing local community development; government should make sure that schools offering universal education should be facilitated with functional computer laboratories; government hospitals, at district level, should have a computer laboratory for data storage; and handy apps for farmers should be given priority so as to enhance smart agricultural development.
RAZLIČIT PRISTUP NACIONALNOM FENOMENU I PROBLEM RAVNOPRAVNOSTI: PREPRJEKA UČINKOVITU FUNKCIONIRANJU POLITIČKOGA SUSTAVA – SLUČAJ BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE

Published: November 2024

Namjere nekih unutarnjih i međunarodnih čimbenika za asimilacijskim kreiranjem jedinstvene političke zajednice u Bosni i Hercegovini ne mogu uroditi povoljnim rješenjem jer u bosanskohercegovačkom društvu ne postoje preduvjeti za realizaciju takve mogućnosti. Ono što je realno i jedino moguće je prihvaćanje postojećih nacionalnih posebnosti triju dominantnih zajednica i prihvaćanje političke realnosti u kojoj se složen politički sustav ne može mijenjati jačanjem učinkovitosti na štetu ravnopravnosti. U složenu društvu, kakvo je bosanskohercegovačko, moguće je samo uz institucionalni okvir koji posjeduje akomodacijske kapacitete postići stabilnost političkoga sustava koji funkcionalno može objediniti strukture i pravila i koji je sposoban političke i društvene čimbenike dovesti u međusobne interakcijske odnose.

Podijeljenost bosanskohercegovačkoga društva uvjetovala je nastanak triju, na nacionalnoj osnovi utemeljenih, medijskih sustava. U radu će se ukazati na uzroke opstanka usporednih medijskih sustava, mogućnosti postavljanja posebnih agendi u svakom od sustava, kao i učincima djelovanja ovako ustrojenih medija na daljnje društvene procese. U situaciji kakva je trenutno u Bosni i Hercegovini očito je da svaki od naroda ima svoje mainstream medije, medije koji proizvode vijesti za „svoju“ javnost, a u takvoj situaciji bit će zanimljivo vidjeti kakav utjecaj i na koju javnost u Bosni i Hercegovini imaju mediji iz „drugih“ sustava i koji bi se napori trebali učiniti da bi se mediji doživljavali kao objektivni i nepristrani na cijelom prostoru Bosne i Hercegovine.

ANTROPONIMIJA U NAJSTARIJOJ DUVANJSKOJ MATIČNOJ KNJIZI (1750. – 1758.)
Authors: Tolić Ružica
Published: November 2024

U radu se analizira antroponomastički leksik zabilježen na korpusu imena Matične knjige krštenih duvanjske župe. Pisana je hrvatskom ćirilicom. Riječ je o privatnoj matici u koju je svećenik glagoljaš, don Anton Ljubosović, upisivao krštenja koja je obavio na široku području duvanjske župe, a potom je te upise prepisivao u službenu maticu. Budući da je u međuvremenu ta službena matica izgorjela u požaru župne kuće u Seonici 1821., ova je, do danas sačuvana don Antonova matica, od neprocjenjive vrijednosti. To je najstarija sačuvana matica duvanjske župe, ali ujedno i najstarija na području današnje Mostarsko-duvanjske biskupije. Matica se sastoji od 41 stranice s 248 upisa krštenja. U Knjizi su zapisana osobna imena i prezimena krštenika koji su pristupili obredu u razdoblju od 1750. do 1758. godine. Budući da su imena preslika povijesti i jezika jednoga naroda i kulture, antroponimna građa koju nalazimo u starim matičnim knjigama od velike je važnosti za lingvistička, ali i za povijesna i kulturna istraživanja. Kod iščitane antroponimne građe vidljiv je utjecaj odredbe Tridentinskog sabora o nadijevanju svetačkih imena jer ona čine dominantnu sastavnicu osobnoimenskoga, ali i prezimenskoga fonda. Rad je podijeljen na dva dijela. Najprije se, kao najstariji sloj antroponimije, analiziraju osobna imena, i to prema načinu tvorbe, obliku i čestotnosti pojave pronađenih imena u Knjizi. Po istom je principu analiziran i prezimenski fond Knjige.

PROMJENE U URBANISTIČKOJ OSNOVI I ARHITEKTONSKOJ SLICI MOSTARA U VRIJEME AUSTROUGARSKE UPRAVE BOSNOM I HERCEGOVINOM
Authors: Zadro Sanja
Published: November 2024

U radu će biti predstavljen segment arhitektonske povijesti Mostara od 1878., odnosno uspostave protektorata Austro-Ugarske Monarhije nad Bosnom i Hercegovinom do Prvoga svjetskog rata. Naglasak će biti na uklapanju spomeničke građe onodobnoga Mostara u širi kontekst Bosne i Hercegovine i razmatranju odnosa situacije u našoj državi s tada aktualnim tendencijama u srednjoj Europi. Dolazak austrougarske uprave na prostor Bosne i Hercegovine donosi raskid s povijesnim kontinuitetom osmanlijske graditeljske tradicije i orijentalnoga koncipiranja urbanih matrica te nagovješćuje ubrzan i intenzivan import srednjoeuropskih standarda u urbanističkom planiranju i stilskim obrascima primjenjivanim na arhitektonskim realizacijama na polju reprezentativne javne arhitekture koju je financirala Zemaljska vlada. Organizacija Graditeljskoga odjeljenja Zemaljske vlade omogućila je razgranatu graditeljsku aktivnost, a import historijskih stilova omogućen je organiziranim dovođenjem arhitekata obrazovanih na uglednim akademijama i tehničkim učilištima diljem Monarhije. Uz njih stasaju i generacije domaćih arhitekata prateći srodne stilske tendencije. Rad će se, nakon kraćega osvrta na teorijske formulacije europskoga historicizma o geografskim i kulturološko-povijesnim okvirima kao motivatorima odabira dominantnih stilova u arhitekturi pojedinih podneblja, koncentrirati na manifestacije tih načela u arhitekturi Bosne i Hercegovine, odnosno Mostara. Za sve navedeno kao jedan od ključnih kontekstualnih motivatora poslužila je i kulturna politika nove vlasti koja je deklarativno njegovala afirmativan odnos prema kulturnoj autonomiji i tradicionalnoj baštini svoje kolonije. Ti će se odnosi, osobito historicističko inzistiranje na morfološkim referencama na geniusloci i traganju za nacionalnim stilovima diljem onodobne Europe, pokazati višestruko složenima i plodonosnima za razmatranje daljnjega razvoja bosanskohercegovačke arhitektonske teorije i prakse.

Identitet u svojoj višeslojnosti, varijabilnosti i dinamičnosti izvrsno se ocrtava u jezičnom krajobrazu, ukupnosti jezičnih znakova u nekoj urbanoj sredini. Stoga je cilj našega istraživanja bio izmjeriti prisutnost različitih jezika i obilježja etnolingvističkog identiteta u poslijeratnom jezičnom krajobrazu podijeljena grada Mostara, iz perspektive in vitro i in vivo, tj. onako kako jezične znakove postavljaju službena tijela i privatne osobe.
Jezični krajobraz podijeljena grada Mostara zapravo je arena u kojoj se stalno sučeljavaju različiti identiteti – jezični, etnički, kulturni itd. Različite etnije bore se kako bi ostavile više „otisaka“ svoga identiteta. Prisutnost jednoga jezika u jezičnom krajobrazu govori na simboličan način o jakosti i vitalnosti toga naroda. S druge strane, odsutnost nekog jezika u jezičnom krajobrazu grada svjedoči da taj jezik i njegovi govornici nemaju važan status u javnomu i društvenome životu. Zbog toga različite etnije, prema principu simboličke vrijednosti Spolskog i Coopera, „markiraju svoj teritorij“. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da su javni znakovi u jezičnom krajobrazu grada Mostara uistinu simboli statusa i moći, što je potvrda vitalnosti društvenih podjela. No visok postotak obilježja etnolingvističkoga identiteta ujedno sugerira da je društveno okruženje u gradu dosta tolerantno i otvoreno za različite društvene i kulturološke razlike.

VIZUALNI KONSTRUKT IDENTITETA GRADA MOSTARA (ČITANJE RAZLIKA)
Authors: Rajković Ljiljana
Published: November 2024

Rad propituje o vizualnoj konstrukciji identiteta grada Mostara kao semantičkim mapama identiteta. Kroz skice grada, uspostavljenih na temelju povijesne riznice kulturnih razlika (Istok, Zapad, tranzicijsko, suvremeno društvo), uočava se da su temeljna pitanja vezana za kulturu također i temeljna identitetska pitanja. Ovaj urbani krajolik sagledava se u širem dijapazonu: od Staroga mosta preko umjetničkih reprezentacija do suvremenog trgovačkog centra.

STREET ART U MOSTARU: SUPKULTURNA KRITIKA REALNOSTI
Authors: Ucović Danijela
Published: November 2024

Radom se želi ukazati na vrijednost ulične umjetnosti (Street art), odnosno umjetnosti koja nastaje i egzistira u javnome prostoru. Pojava modernih grafita (graffiti) u Americi – a potom u Europi i ostatku svijeta – 80-ih je godina iznjedrila revoluciju u umjetnosti. Graffiti scena kao iznimna platforma za razvoj hip-hopa, break dancea, DJ-inga, uvjetovala je kod mladih ljudi drukčiji stil života i stvaranja novih umjetnosti. Potkraj prošloga stoljeća iz grafiti scene nastala je nova, buntovna, inovativna, maštovita, sveprisutna, a neuhvatljiva – ulična umjetnost (Street art). Kao takva, uvukla se u svaki kutak svijeta te je beskrajna inspiracija mladih umjetnika, osobito onih koji žele promijeniti svoje okruženje nabolje, jer za njih je prostor u kojem žive slikarsko platno, a ne samo urbani prostor. Motive crpi iz svakodnevice, bez straha ukazuje na probleme suvremenoga prostora, posjeduje izvjesnu ironiju i provokaciju te joj je cilj ne ostaviti nikoga ravnodušnim.
Ona je nepotkupljiva, ne djeluje u svojstvu nekog programa ili sustava te zbog toga može biti lagodna i oslobađajuća, kao i intrigantna i opominjuća. Ne egzistira sama za sebe, cilj joj je kreativnošću oplemeniti prostor u kojem će ljudi, kao njezini recipijenti, postati svjesniji prostora i društva u kojem žive.

O estudo do meio físico busca compreender a ordem natural de seus componentes, por diferentes perspectivas. A de abordagem integrada, se dedica a compreender a interface sociedade e a natureza, e as consequências dessa relação. Entre essas consequências, existe a desertificação, entendida como uma degradação ambiental avançada que reduz as potencialidades da terra por limitações dos recursos naturais e pela pressão humana, de ocorrência em áreas de clima árido, semiárido e subúmido seco. Por isso diversos fatores contribuem para o processo, entre eles a erosão, problema também sistêmico, que destrói o solo. Baseado nisso, este trabalho objetiva analisar como a metodologia da vulnerabilidade natural à perda de solo, de Crepani et al. (2001), pode servir de indicador de suscetibilidade à desertificação no semiárido brasileiro, tendo como área territorial de experimento a bacia hidrográfica do Apodi-Mossoró. É um trabalho de natureza quali-quantitativa com variáveis da natureza física. Constatou-se que a metodologia é válida, uma vez que se deu considerando os aspectos inerentes à erosão e ao fenômeno da desertificação. Verificou-se que os índices de suscetibilidade na bacia variaram entre moderadamente estável, medianamente estável/vulnerável e moderadamente vulnerável.

Este estudo analisa os bloqueios fluviais na bacia do rio Macaé, identificando e espacializando feições geomorfológicas que impactam a conectividade fluvial. A pesquisa abrangeu o rio Macaé e seus principais afluentes, caracterizando tanto bloqueios naturais quanto antrópicas, incluindo barras laterais, ilhas fluviais, barragens, canais preenchidos, depósitos de tálus, além de erosões, rampas e áreas urbanas. Os resultados indicam que a distribuição desses bloqueios reflete a compartimentação da bacia em alto, médio e baixo curso, com variações relacionadas a fatores geomorfológicos, geológicos e antrópicos. Conclui-se que os bloqueios fluviais são essenciais para a compreensão da dinâmica da paisagem, influenciando a conectividade e a evolução dos sistemas fluviais na bacia do rio Macaé.

A importância do uso dos modelos didáticos concretos tridimensionais no ensino de geografia é algo consolidado, sendo a maquete o mais utilizado, embora com o advento da tecnologia de realidade aumentada nas últimas décadas, a SARndbox temse como um importante recurso didático na abordagem acadêmica da Geografia Física e dos componentes físico-naturais da geografia escolar. A pesquisa objetiva sistematizar por meio do estado da arte a utilização da SARndbox na abordagem de conteúdos e conceitos da geografia física e dos componentes físico-naturais da geografia escolar. Do ponto de vista metodológico, realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico buscando trabalhos científicos com a aplicação da SARndbox no ensino de geografia no site Google Acadêmico, obtendo-se 20 trabalhos entre artigos científicos, dissertações, teses, anais de congressos e livros, a partir dos quais analisou-se a origem, objetivo, instituições de ensino, público-alvo e principais aplicações, bem como conceitos e temáticas abordadas. Entre os resultados, constata-se que os trabalhos têm como objetivo discutir a SARndbox como um recurso que auxilia na compreensão dos alunos sobre processos geomorfológicos e hidrológicos, a partir da visualização tridimensional do relevo, elaborado principalmente por universidades e institutos federais de todo o Brasil e aplicado com alunos da Educação Básica, a partir de 2016. Conclui-se que a SARndbox exerce papel crescente na abordagem de conteúdos e conceitos do campo da Geografia Física, porém ainda distante da realidade das aulas de Geografia da Educação Básica.

Kob monaha Save: I dio / The Fate of the Monk Sava: Part I
Authors: Mahmutćehajić Rusmir
Published: November 2024

In the study The Fate of the Monk Sava, author investigates and presents modern uses of the works of Nomokanon by Rastislav, the third son of Prefect Nemanja. Although the Nomokanon was created in the first decades of the 13th century, its ideological uses are an essential part of Serbian hegemony. And more than that, in that work, anti-Muslimism was elevated to the level of a Christian tenant. That is exactly why it was used in almost all programs to destroy Slavic and Albanian Muslims. The research task of investigating the genocidal ideology of anti-Bosnia, the essential content of the crime of genocide and its threats of repetition, is not feasible without taking into account all the contents of culture, politics and economy in their long duration, which are involved in the denial of Bosnia and its religiously plural people. Until now, there have been no accounts of that work in the academic aspects of ethnonational politics, which need both theological and political enemies. The epistemological framework of the study is the theological and philosophical aspects of the prophetic heritage and their modern interpretations for the purposes of ideological homogenization and related denial and destruction of religious plurality.
Social Sentiment Analysis

Published: November 2024

Sentiment analysis is an essential technique for extracting subjective information from text data, providing valuable insights into users' opinions and emotions. This project focuses on implementing sentiment analysis for WhatsApp group, a messaging platform, to automatically assess the sentiment of user-generated content. By Utilising natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning algorithms, the system can categorize text messages as positive, negative, or neutral. The primary goal is to develop a tool that enhances user experience, facilitates content moderation, and aids in understanding community sentiment trends on the whtsapp platform. The analysis begins by preprocessing the WhatsApp data, including tokenization, removing stop words, and stemming, to convert text into a format suitable for analysis. Various machine learning models, such as Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and deep learning models, are applied to classify sentiments. This project not only aims to provide real-time sentiment tracking but also highlights the potential for enhancing customer service, targeted marketing, and user engagement strategies based on emotional tone. Future work could focus on refining sentiment classification for slang and context- specific language used on WhatsApp, improving the accuracy and applicability of the sentiment analysis tool across diverse user groups
