Uspostavljanje trgovinskih odnosa između SR Crne Gore i pokrajina SR Njemačke
Authors: Papović Dragutin
Published: October 2023

U radu je analizirana ekonomska suradnja Socijalističke Republike Crne Gore i Savezne Republike Njemačke, odnosno njezinih saveznih pokrajina. Savezna Republika Njemačka bila je među najvažnijim ekonomskim partnerima Jugoslavije, odnosno jugoslavenskih republika krajem 70-ih godina XX. stoljeća. Tada je po vrijednosti trgovinske razmjene bila drugi vanjskotrgovinski partner Crne Gore. Cilj Crne Gore bio je povećanjem izvoza smanjiti trgovinski deficit, zatim privući njemačke investitore i proširiti suradnju na druge oblasti. Taj je cilj zahtijevao uspostavu izravnih političkih i ekonomskih odnosa. Sredinom 70-ih jugoslavenske republike uspostavile su neposredne odnose s njemačkim saveznim pokrajinama. Krajem 70-ih i početkom 80-ih uspostavljeni su odnosi Izvršnoga vijeća (vlade) Crne Gore s vladama pokrajina Hamburg, Baden-Württemberg i Bremen.
Konvergencija političkih strategija slovenskih katoličkih narodnjaka i liberala u Prvom svjetskom ratu
Authors: Ivašković Igor
Published: October 2023

Autor analizira stavove slovenskih katoličko-narodnjačkih i liberalnih časopisa glede državnopravnih pitanja u razdoblju od Sarajevskoga atentata 1914. do zagrebačkoga sastanka u ožujku 1918. Katoličko-narodnjačka Slovenska pučka stranka početkom rata zauzela je snažan protusrpski stav. Dok je na vanjskopolitičkom planu dio stranke zazivao vojno kažnjavanje Srbije, na unutarnjem stranka unisono zastupa ideju hrvatsko-slovenske državne jedinice unutar Habsburške Monarhije. Slovenski su liberali na drugoj strani, unatoč osudi čina atentata, osuđivali protusrpske demonstracije te pritom naglašavali odgovornost austrougarske politike za eskalaciju rata. Uslijed širih makrogeopolitičkih događaja, prije svega povećanja vjerojatnosti Antantine pobjede, koja je povećavala strah pred implementacijom Londonskoga ugovora, te činjenice da su velikonjemački austrijski krugovi iskoristili rat protiv Srbije za širu protu(jugo)slavensku kampanju u kojoj se svaka emancipacijska težnja Slovenaca i Hrvata prikazivala kao protudržavni element, slovenski katolički narodnjaci mijenjaju strategiju. Nakon uviđanja da ni iskazivanje najsnažnijih proaustrijskih emocija te ulaganje iznimno velikih napora u predočavanje razlike između slovensko-hrvatske trijalističke vizije i velikosrpskoga koncepta neće uroditi plodom, slovenski su katolički narodnjaci krenuli putem okrupnjavanja vlastitoga političkog legitimiteta preko zauzimanja vodećih pozicija u zastupničkim tijelima austrougarskih Južnih Slavena. Budući da je za to bila potrebna i suradnja sa slovenskim liberalima te austrougarskim Srbima, taj je obrat implicirao i prihvaćanje širega južnoslavenskoga koncepta.

Published: October 2023

Many researchers agree that motivation plays a key role for people to volunteer. This is because volunteering sometimes offers them no money or recognition. Understanding volunteer motivations and variances between groups of people will enable management to build management methods that will help volunteers perform better. Little study has been conducted on the volunteer motivational factors due to crisis although there were many studies on other forms of factors related to volunteerism. By understanding volunteer motivation, volunteers can be better managed to ensure that the benefits of helping outweigh the potential negative consequences for individuals and the community as a whole. The Malaysian Ministry of Youth and Sports was selected because although the initiative has just been launched recently but the Ministry able to attract more than 200,000 volunteers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence people to volunteer as trained Satria. This will help government and non-profit organizations understand the factors that influence people to motivate during crises and emergencies as well as less-emergencies situations. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the factors influencing volunteers’ motivation from a population of 508 trained Satria volunteers of the Malaysian Ministry of Youth and Sports throughout Malaysia.
Charakterystyka zrównoważenia rozwoju biogospodarki w wymiarze ekonomicznym w Polsce na tle UE-28 i Niemiec
Authors: Faber Antoni , Jarosz Zuzanna
Published: October 2023

Celem badań była ocena zrównoważenia rozwoju biogospodarki w Polsce w wymiarze ekonomicznym. Do scharakteryzowania ekonomicznego wymiaru rozwoju biogospodarki wykorzystano analizę struktury oraz kształtowanie się dynamiki wartości dodanej sektorów stanowiących komponent biogospodarki. Dane obejmowały lata 2008-2019 dla Polski oraz 2019 r. dla UE-28 i Niemiec. Ponieważ rozwój biogospodarki wiąże się z zaspokajaniem popytu na biosurowce, aby przedstawić jej zrównoważony rozwój wykorzystano także zaproponowany przez Global Footprint Network wskaźnik śladu gruntowego. Oszacowano zależności pomiędzy wartością dodaną rolnictwa, leśnictwa i rybołówstwa a ich śladem gruntowym. Wskazanie zależności pomiędzy wartością dodaną a śladem gruntowym pozwoliło określić siłę ich sprzężenia, a tym samym zrównoważenie analizowanych sektorów. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że tylko ślad gruntowy rolnictwa ma tendencję do spadku w miarę wzrostu wartości dodanej. Wskazuje to, że rolnictwo może stać się w przyszłości bezwzględnie mocno zrównoważonym. Wymaga to rozpisanej na lata strategii rozwoju zrównoważonej biogospodarki cyrkulacyjnej oraz znacznych inwestycji.

Published: October 2023

The aim of the presented work was to obtain a new type of homogeneous composite based on an industrial polymer (polybutadiene, PB) and a well-known inexpensive filler (carbon black P-234, CB). For this purpose, the reaction of oxidative chlorophosphorylation (OxCh) was used. This makes it possible to introduce CB into the cross-linked structure of the modified polymer and ensure optimal distribution of the filler in it. The structure and thermal stability of the composite synthesized by the OxCh reaction were studied. Analysis of the composite by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicates a uniform distribution of carbon black in the network structure of the matrix and the physical interaction of the phases of the composite. Ultraviolet-visible spectrum data confirmed the improvement in light absorption in a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum and the decrease in the optical band gap energy of the phosphochlorinated PB (PhPB) matrix with the addition of CB (Eg of PhPB = 3.25 eV; Eg of PhPB/CB composite = 2.28 eV). The influence of CB on the thermal stability of the PhPB matrix was studied using thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis. After thermal analysis, the char yield for PhPB was 41 wt. %, and for PhPB/CB composite was 35.2 wt. %. Compared to PhPB, the increase in char yield, the decrease in maximum thermal decomposition temperature, and the high-integrated thermal decomposition temperature for the PhPB/CB composite show the improvement in the thermal stability of PhPB due to CB.

Itching due to atopic dermatitis causes sleep disorders in children, but its pathology is unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate nocturnal scratching as an indirect index of itching during sleep and its relationship with depth of sleep in children with atopic dermatitis. Nocturnal scratching was measured in a total of 20 children with atopic dermatitis, using a smartwatch installed with the application Itch Tracker. Depth of sleep was analysed using polysomnography. The severity of atopic dermatitis was scored using Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM). The number and time of nocturnal scratching measured by Itch Tracker had a significantly positive correlation with EASI scores, whereas POEM scores were not correlated with EASI scores. Mean sleep efficiency was 90.0% and scratching episodes (n = 67) started mainly during the awake stage or light sleep stages. In the scratching episodes that started during sleep stages (n = 34), the sleep stage changed to a lighter one or to the awake stage in 35.5% of episodes. Itch Tracker is applicable to measure nocturnal scratching in children. Nocturnal scratching can deteriorate quality of sleep by changing the sleep stage to a lighter one or to the awake stage.

Authors: On HyoJeong , Yim JongEun
Published: October 2023

Objective:To compare the effects of local vibration combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy alone for plantar fasciitis.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial including 34 participants with a mean age of 37.5 years. Participants were randomly allocated to a group treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with local vibration (ESWT-LV group) or a group treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy alone (ESWT-alone group). All participants in each group underwent 2 treatment sessions weekly for 5 weeks. Thickness of the plantar fascia, plantar pain, and foot function were measured using ultrasonography, numerical rating scale for pain, and Foot Function Index, respectively, at baseline and at the end of the 5-week intervention.
Results: Significant improvements were measured in both groups in the thickness of the plantar fascia, numerical rating scale, and Foot Function Index values (p < 0.05). In addition, the thickness of the plantar fascia and pain was significantly more decreased in the ESWT-LV group than in the ESWT-alone group (p < 0.05). However, the differences between groups in Foot Function Index values were not significant (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Local vibration combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy is an effective treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis.

Published: October 2023

Infectious diseases are still a global problem, for example, acute respiratory infections (SARI). Resistance in pneumonia involving Gram-negative bacterial infection reduces the effectiveness of antibiotic use and increases the length of hospital stay. This study examines the potential of antimicrobial compounds from basil plants against isolates of Gram-negative bacteria involved in pneumonia infection. This research is an experimental study through several stages: basil extraction, initial screening of bioactive compounds, isolation and identification of bacteria from sputum, and testing for antimicrobial activity of basil extracts. Sputum samples were collected from 43 pneumonia patients (male and female) involving Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Proteus mirabilis, and Escherichia coli. The inhibitory activity against pathogenic bacteria was directly proportional to the basil extract concentration. Initial screening for phytochemical compounds showed that the extracts of basil leaves and stems contained active compounds of tannins and flavonoids. The 25% concentration of basil extract was the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the test bacteria. The 100% basil extract concentration produced the largest inhibition zone i.e., 10.93 mm. The overall findings of this study provide baseline information for the possible use of the Ocimum basilicum extract in the treatment of pneumonia involving Gram-negative bacteria.
Dramatic agency und moralische Dilemmata

Published: October 2023

It is a relatively new idea to include video game narratives in German lessons. The following article argues that this genuin digital media offers a specific potential for learning with literature. Because of dramatic agency the players can influence the story and experience kaleidoscopic storytelling. It is to be assumed that especially immersion, involvement and engagement are intensified. The focus is on finding identity and moral development and the example Detroit: Become Human (2018/19). The genre of the video game narrative is science fiction with the city Detroit in 2038 as the setting. Androids and AI are part of every day life and raise the question what it really means to be human.

In learning a second or foreign language, students commonly read for pleasure, which is called extensive reading (ER). Extensive reading is commonly related to increasing vocabulary knowledge and reading skills; however, extensive reading can also expand learners’ grammatical knowledge Based on the study of Khansir and Dehghani (2015), it was found that ER has improved their Iranian participants’ English grammar (as stated in Ng, Renandya, Chong, 2019, p. 180-181). Referring to the positive outcome of their study, this study aims to investigate Indonesian university students’ perceptions of the benefits of ER activities on their English grammar knowledge and also their attitudes after experiencing ER activities in Grammar class. The research participants were 30 Indonesian university students who attended Grammar classes at a private university in West Java. The instruments used were an online questionnaire which was distributed at the end of the semester and the students’ weekly ER log. The questionnaire result was counted manually before they were classified into certain categories, whereas content analysis was used to select and analyze the data from the learning log. The findings show both positive and negative outcomes regarding the students’ grammar knowledge and attitudes.

The SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visualization, Intellectually) method is learning that uses physical movement with intellectual activity and the use of all the senses that have a big influence on learning. Learning using the SAVI method can motivate students to study hard so as to improve student learning outcomes. The SAVI method has the advantage of increasing students' intelligence in a fully integrated manner through physical integration with intellectual activities.
Long-term variations in nutritional condition of Panulirus argus (Decapoda: Palinuridae) in Cuba: analytical and morphological approaches
Authors:   Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, Lopeztegui-Castillo Alexander
Published: October 2023

Nutritional condition indices have been frequently used as morphophysiological indicators to study variations on lobster's physiology and energy reserves. This study was aimed to determine long-term spatio-temporal variations in nutritional conditions of Panulirus argus (hereinafter – lobster), considering two indices, namely the analytic Blood Refractive Index (BRI) and the morphometric Kcl (total weight / carapace length relationship). Information from eleven sites in the Caibarién region, sampled in 2010–2015, and twelve sites in the Batabanó region, sampled in 2011–2017, were named as the Current Period. Morphometric data for Kcl estimation, including 1987–1988 in the Caibarién region, and 1981–1993 in the Batabanó region, were grouped as the Past Period. Temporary variations were determined comparing Past and Current periods at each region. Spatial variations were determined by comparing the data between the two regions. For analysed lobsters in the Current period, we determined BRI = 14.3, Kcl = 7.0 in the Caibarién region, and BRI = 15.2. Kcl = 7.0 in the Batabanó region. For the Past period, the Kcl value was 5.8 and 6.3 in the Caibarién and Batabanó region, respectively. Both Kcl and BRI indices were higher for male individuals. This could be associated with the reproductive process, and intrinsic morphometric differences between sexes could influence though. Morphometric parameters were higher for the Current Period. Spatial variations of morphometric parameters were significantly different for the Past Period, which were attributed to different environmental conditions in each region. The BRI index was higher in the Batabanó region, which was possibly associated with the better status of the benthic communities and the better water quality. Present results contribute to understanding lobster's nutritional condition in natural habitats, mainly in the Caibarién region, where few studies have been carried out to date.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding of prospective elementary mathematics teachers of the formal definition of the limit of a sequence. The participants were 32 prospective mathematics teachers (8 male and 24 female) who were in their third year of study in a four-year mathematics teacher preparation programme Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa in Türkiye. The data were collected via a test that was developed by the authors. The findings of the study demonstrate that the prospective elementary mathematics teachers had difficulty in defining the concept of limit of a sequence and in determining the graphical representations of the variables and the inequalities in the formal definition. Moreover, they also had difficulty comprehending the relationship between the variables of 𝜀 and 𝑛0 , and hence, when a numerical value was assigned to one of these variables, they were not able to find an appropriate value for the other. It was concluded that the prospective mathematics teachers generally tended to memorize the formal definition of the limit of sequences but lacked conceptual understanding of its meaning. Therefore, they were not able to reason about the variables it contained.

The Three-Domain Disgust Scale (TDDS) contains three subscales assessing disgust sensitivity that may contribute to research on developing and maintaining psychopathology and treating psychopathologies related to disgust. This study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the TDDS Turkish version. Two hundred and thirty-six participants responded to the scale consisting of 131 individuals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and consisting of 105 non-clinical samples. Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFAs) and multigroup CFAs were performed to evaluate the factor structure and the measurement invariance across clinically disordered TDDS. Reliability analyses were calculated with Cronbach’s alpha and a one-month retest. Besides, the convergent and discriminant validity of the TDDS were examined with the Beck Depression Inventory, Disgust Scale-Revised, Guilt Inventory, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The study found that the three-factor structure of the TDDS was the best fit for the data, with high item-factor loadings, which proved invariant across clinically disordered. Convergent and discriminative validity of the TDDS was provided, and the reliability analysis results were satisfactory (all ≥ 0.70) in two samples. The TDDS presented high cross- language replicability and seemed an effective instrument for research in Turkish adults.

In the present study, participating classes were randomly allocated to either an experimental or control condition. The study conducted in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, consisted 115 participants (n = 55, experimental group; n = 60 in the control group), 57 males and 58 females, aged 10 to 14 years of age. Self-report data was collected pre- and post-test, measuring children’s cognitive, behavioral and emotional coping responses to four written bullying vignettes. Measures of state and trait anxiety were also collected at pre- and post-tests. Results revealed students in the experimental group significantly improved in cognitive and emotional coping responses compared with students in the control group. Nonsignificant differences were found between males and females and between primary and secondary school students on their response to the program. State anxiety did not influence responsiveness to the program, but students with lower levels of trait anxiety (pre-test) made significantly greater improvements on emotional coping responses compared to students with higher levels of trait anxiety. Implications of these findings are discussed as well as limitations and considerations for future research.

Published: October 2023

This paper examines the long-run relationship between innovation and macroeconomic and environmental factors in the EU during the period 1990–2020. In the paper, the patents are used as a proxy of the innovation index. The market openness, per capita GDP, foreign direct investment, and oil prices are used as proxies for macroeconomic factors whereas per capita energy consumption, per capita CO2 emissions, and renewable energy sources are proxies for environmental factors. For the analysis of this relationship, two-panel count data models are used, the Poisson regression model and negative binomial model as well as the ARDL cointegration technique and the Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test. The results of the negative binomial model showed that trade openness, renewable energy sources, and CO2 emissions have a significant and negative relationship with innovation, while GDP, investment, energy consumption, and oil prices have a significant and positive relationship with innovation. Furthermore, the causality test of Dumitrescu and Hurlin showed the presence of an unidirectional causal relationship between per capita CO2 emissions and per capita energy consumption towards innovation.
