Published: December 2023

Teachers recognize that different language teaching methods are appropriate for different situations. The social context and desire of immigrant adults to learn English as a Second Language (ESL) requires that the educational approach be different from that of other students. who must pass the school exams. SFL's contributions to language teaching focus on providing descriptions of the language as it is actually used and suggesting ways to help learners understand its usage. In other words, they tend to focus on the expected learning outcome rather than the learning process. This helps researchers find contextual features that influence the grammatical features of the language under study. We analyze the ups and downs of language use in cultural and situational contexts and how language function development responds to the functional demands of the situation. Here are some facts that can be used as evidence of conversational behavior development and change. The context of the spoken language is relatively stable, making it easier for non-fluent speakers to share information. Fluent speakers are more free or flexible than non-fluent speakers when introducing context, and the use of dynamic speech by NS and NNS has been shown to help maintain conversational flow. I'm here. At the lower level, acknowledgments and repairs are often used as dynamic functions. These two types of functionality have more limited functionality than the prompt and instruction types that occur at higher levels. This opens the opportunity for tender negotiations

Authors: Asi Hot , Gularso Kurnadi
Published: December 2023

Fintech Lending or Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services (LPBBTI) is a form of technological innovation in financial services that provides new alternatives for people to get access to loans in an easy and fast way. Fintech lending provides loans to individuals and businessmen who previously had difficulty obtaining loans from traditional financial institutions. The fintech lending industry enters the same market as banking to serve the community so that they can compete or collaborate with each other. Fintech lending and banks have their own characteristics and advantages so they have the potential to provide added value and reduce risk. The aim of this research is to analyze whether collaboration between Rural Banks (BPR) and fintech lending can be mutually beneficial and an optimal form of collaboration. This research was conducted from a case study of PT Duha Madani Syariah as a fintech lending provider in collaboration with 4 (four) BPRs. The research method used a qualitative approach. Data collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation techniques. The research results show that the collaboration between BPR and fintech lending is mutually beneficial for the parties because it increases loan disbursement, creates company operational efficiency, and increases company profits. This collaboration is outlined in a cooperation agreement which regulates the scope of mutually beneficial cooperation, and requires support from regulators through policies or implementing instructions to accelerate and improve collaboration between BPR and fintech lending

With the recent development in the field of electronics, it has made possible to continuous monitor health of patients and elderly and even of normal person. Since many years we are using blood-based diagnosis for diagnosis of various health conditions and diseases. However, recent research done by many researchers shows that there are other potential biomarkers such as, sweat which can provide diagnosis of various health conditions and diseases. Sodium and chloride concentration in sweat provides status of hydration status in human body. Here we have designed a health monitoring device based on sweat analysis using different types of electrochemical sensors. Ion-selective electrodes for Na+ and Cl- are used which gives details about a person’s hydration status and a glucose sensor is also used to measure the sweat glucose levels. The sensors are calibrated for artificial sweat solutions with different concentrations of Na+, Cl- and glucose. On body testing is done to confirm functionality of designed system for sweat analysis. The system is compact so can be used as a wearable device that is capable of continuously monitoring and wirelessly transmitting sensor data to the personal computer or smartphone.

Izazovi u kognitivnoj psihoterapiji hronične depresije
Authors: Jerotić Stefan
Published: December 2023

Hronična depresija predstavlja psihoterapijski izazov koji zahteva poseban pristup u poređenju sa akutnom depresijom. Psihoterapijski proces koji se zasniva na kognitivno-bihejvioralnoj terapiji mora da uzme u obzir niz specifičnosti ovog stanja, uključujući: (1) izazove u izgradnji terapijskog saveza; (2) izbegavanje kao dominantni mehanizam održavanja; (3) sržna uverenja o samoj depresiji. Izgradnja terapijskog saveza je često komplikovana dugogodišnjom demoralizacijom pacijenta, koja zahteva poseban senzibilitet i strpljenje terapeuta. Vodeći kognitivni model hronične depresije označava izbegavanje kao jedan od ključnih mehanizama održavanja poremećaja. Izbegavanje se može konceptualizovati u vidu bihejvioralnog, kognitivnog i emocionalnog. Bihejvioralno izbegavanje se manifestuje kao sklonost ka izbegavanju, ili uzdržavanje od suočavanja sa situacijama ili stimulusima iz sredine koji izazivaju nelagodnost. Kognitivno izbegavanje podrazumeva strategije za izbegavanje uznemirujućih misli ili sećanja i može se manifestovati kroz poricanje, preterano uopštavanje, minimiziranje i rumniacije. Emocionalno izbegavanje čini supresija neprijatnih emocionalnih stanja, što često dovodi do sveopšte emocionalne utrnulosti. Mehanizmi izbegavanja su usko isprepletani sa verovanjem osobe o sopstvenoj depresiji. Percepcija postojanja depresije kao znaka lične slabosti ili "biološkog" problema onemogućava povezivanje situacionog konteksta sa simptomima, pojačavajući doživljaj bespomoćnosti. Sveobuhvatni pristup terapiji hronične depresije podrazumeva neophodnost prepoznavanja i adresiranja ovih izazova.
Does the acceptance of insects as food depend on sociodemographic characteristics: The case of Serbia
Authors: Nikolić Kosta , Vujasinović Vesna , Tepavčević Jelena
Published: December 2023

Animal-based food has historically been considered dietary staples because it offers many essential nutrients. Due to their high nutrient content, edible insects have the potential to partially replace animal-based food as healthy and sustainable alternatives. The aim of this research is to determine if sociodemographic characteristics of respondents play important role in acceptance or rejection of insects as food. The results showed that male respondents have favourable attitudes towards acceptance, motivation and general attitude compared to female respondents. In terms of age, it was determined that older people are more likely to accept insects. Results also showed that highly educated people express a higher level of acceptance of insects, while the effects of income level are not significant. As Serbia is not a country where insects have been traditionally consumed, it is not expected that consumption will become widespread in foreseeable future.
The impact of global crises on international tourism in the Southern and Mediterranean Europe
Authors: Lazarević Sonja , Stanišić Tanja
Published: December 2023

The global character of international tourism makes this industry vulnerable to the effects of global shocks of an economic or non-economic nature. Crises in international tourism are becoming more frequent. The 2009 Global Economic Crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic are the two biggest crises that have hit the international tourism market in the twenty-first century and have had a global character. This paper aims to examine and compare the impact of these crises on international tourism in the countries of the Southern and Mediterranean Europe by applying the methods of comparative analysis and cluster analysis. The study results indicated the difference in the impact of the observed crises on the international tourist traffic of the analysed countries, as well as the heterogeneity across the countries of the Southern and Mediterranean Europe themselves in terms of the impact of these global crises.
Negotiating ethnic identity: What does it mean to be a Serbian student at the University of Vienna
Authors: Vidicki Vladan , Šljukić Marica , Stojšin Snežana
Published: December 2023

This paper explores the strategies employed by Serbian students studying in Vienna in negotiating their ethnic identity. Negotiation strategies are defined as the processes through which individuals reconcile their internal understanding of ethnicity with external definitions. This involves examining the extent of alignment between these two perceptions and the mechanisms immigrants employ to bridge potential disparities. The study places particular emphasis on the interactions of Serbian students with the majority ethnic group in both informal and formal settings, contextualized within contemporary Austrian society. The research employs a mixed methods approach. In the initial phase, data collection was executed through an online focus group interview, involving the participation of six students with diverse socio-demographic characteristics. This preparatory phase laid the groundwork for the subsequent stage, which revolved around the development and deployment of an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire was completed by 287 students from various universities in Vienna, spanning different levels of study. Based on the collected data, the paper concludes that Serbian students in Vienna are faced with an external definition of ethnicity that does not match their internal one, and that they resolve this discrepancy through various mechanisms of adapting their own ethnic identity to the requirements of the new social context.
Relations between Serbia and Russia during the Ukrainian crisis
Authors: Trailović Dragan , Rapaić Stevan
Published: December 2023

Serbia and Russia are countries that share a long and complex history of political, economic, and cultural ties. Their relations became even more intricate following the outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine, leading to various implications for broader international relations and, consequently, for the relations between the two states. The confrontation between Russia and the West has presented new challenges for Serbia's foreign policy, placing it at the crossroads between the strategic goal of joining the EU and its traditional friendship with Russia. This article aims to analyze the situation and present the relations between Serbia and Russia during the crisis in Ukraine. The paper will examine the primary areas of cooperation between the two countries, with a particular focus on their political and economic relations during this period. The paper relies on a range of sources, including official statements and documents, media reports, academic studies, and public opinion surveys.
National identity in the light of its discursive construction
Authors: Pešić Milena
Published: December 2023

The central interest of this paper is the investigation of the phenomenon of national identity from the point of view of its constructional character. With this aim, a synthetic presentation of key modern and postmodern theoretical starting points and ideas that support this line of his conceptualization is given first. Instrumentalist approaches to national identity are observed, which treat it as historically situated and socially and politically constructed, through connection with the phenomena of modernity and the role played by state political projects and state elites in its formation (Hobsbawm, Gellner). Developed on the same basis, national identities were observed through looking at the building of feelings of belonging, solidarity and togetherness, through collective practices of reception and interpretation of common cultural and historical references (Tijes, Renan). As particularly relevant to the topic of this work, we focused on ideas about the imaginary in identity affirmation in settings (Bajar, Anderson), because we consider that line of conceptualization to be the basis of modern understandings of national identity as a primarily mental construct. As an instrument and medium of the nation's imagination, culture is apostrophized, developed with the emergence of "printed" language. We also find the primacy of culture in Smith's statements of national identity as constructed on ethnic grounds, based on the concept of cultural configuration. We tried to present contemporary approaches to national identity (Hall, Bhabha, Matrin, Vodak) in the light of their basic common features - the operationalization of modernist concepts in a new constructionist and discursive key. By moving the study into the area of discourse and the process of meaning generation, these approaches deconstruct the metanarratives of the nation, through (linguistic) analysis of their constituents, and seek to explain how national identities are socially constructed through discourse, using language in systematic ways. With this presentation of the development of a complex of ideas and analytical positions, we tried to point out the key assumptions for the creation of modern conceptual-analytical models. At the same time, the scientific basis of the model of discursive construction of national identity created within the framework of the contemporary discourse-historical approach, whose presentation is the second thematic centre of this paper, was demonstrated. This threedimensional analytical model (macro-theme content, strategies and linguistic means) offered systematic ways of viewing national identity as a product of specific strategies of expression in specific historical and institutional locations, with specific discursive formations and practices. The fact that it is widely used in contemporary case studies best confirms its analytical productivity and indicates the scientific relevance of its theoretical elaborations.
Defining the concept of liberty: Three different approaches
Authors: Stojadinović Višnja
Published: December 2023

The subject of this paper is a thorough consideration of the concept of liberty. The starting point is Berlin's distinction between positive and negative understanding of liberty. In this sense, Berlin's definition of positive and negative liberty is presented first, as well as the reasons on the basis of which these concepts can be considered logically independent. The author then analyzes MacCallum's critique on Berlin's thesis on the existence of two different concepts of liberty as well as MacCallum's thesis on the existence of only one concept of liberty. MacCallum's understanding of liberty as a triadic relation and his thesis on possibility of a unique formal presentation of all eligible statements about liberty are being examined. After MacCallum's critique, the author analyzes another relevant critique of Berlin's point of view: Skinner's thesis on the existence of a third concept of liberty. In this sense, Skinner's understanding of liberty as the absence of political and social dependence is being discussed. In light of above-mentioned considerations, the author concludes that MacCallum's and Skinner's critiques are unsuccessful and, consequently, Berlin's thesis on the existence of two different concepts of liberty is justified. Finally, the author points out that defining liberty is not merely academic topic, moreover - it has relevant political implications.
Utilization of plastic and glass waste mixed with sand as an alternative brick materials
Authors: Mahyoub Badiea , Abdu Amer , Ahmed Adel , Kamal Ibtisam
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, the research for innovative approaches to and practices for plastic waste in a circular economy has acquired a big attention. Plastic waste causes a serious environmental pollution concern. Meantime, the cement industry is one of the biggest sources of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions, which is considered as another environmental challenge to change of climate. All those and others side effects of plastic waste, make the plastic sand glass bricks an attractive alternative material to construction. In this paper, the plastic and glass waste were used at different percentage for replacing cement as a binder to produce non-traditional concretes. The literature review reveals that there is a deficiency of studies that manage the plastic sand glass as a construction material from economic perspective. Plastic sand glass bricks prepared could be a workable solution for combating issues related to solid waste. The results showed that the compressive strength decreased with increasing ratios of plastic to sand. On another hand, it is increased with increasing of sand ratio. Plastic brick prepared poses a density less than the conventional bricks, and acceptable hardness. Low water absorption also reflected that the plastic brick could be used in the construction. TGA and DSC analysis showed that the plastic brick prepared has a good thermal stability and the decomposition is in the limited and acceptable range. Optimization of the two effective variables (plastic/sand and galas ratios) has been made and correlating the results obtained using Box-Wilson statistical method to create a model for describing the predictable properties of a new product.
Synthesis and solvatochromism of some hydroxy substituted phenyl azo pyridone dyes
Authors: Matijević Borko , Mrđan Gorana , Lađarević Jelena , Valentić Nataša , Mijin Dušan , Apostolov Suzana , Vaštag Đenđi
Published: December 2023

Aryl azo dyes are widely used due to their excellent physicochemical properties (primarily high value of the molar extinction coefficient and great resistance to light and wet processing) and the fact that can be obtained in a simple method of diazotization and coupling. In this paper, three new dyes of 5-(hydroxy substituted phenylazo)-3-cyano-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone were synthesized by a diazo coupling reaction. The obtained dyes were characterized by melting point, IR, NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Given the fact that the structure of the molecule and interactions obtained with the surrounding medium can affect its activity, the possibility of azo hydrazo tautomerism has been studied, as the influence of the position of the substituent present (orto-, meta- and para position). In addition, the effect of the solvent used was determined by applying a solvatochromic model using the LSER method (linear solvation energy relationship). Obtaining information about the inter and intramolecular relationships that newly synthesized compounds can achieve may be of great importance for all further investigations and their potential application as biologically active compounds.
Novel modification of activated charcoal sheet with N-methylpolypyrrole and silver nanoparticles for removal of hexavalent chromium in water treatment processes
Authors: Surender Duhan , Mohan Chandra , Kumar Rakesh
Published: December 2023

The novel NPPY-AgNP's@AC CPN were synthesized and used for batch mode reductive adsorption of hexavalent Chromium (Cr+6) ions in water treatment processes. The Activated Charcoal (AC) sheet was firstly encapsulated with silver nanoparticles (AgNP's) by in-situ reduction method and capped with N-methylpolypyrrole (NPPY) to obtain NPPY-AgNP's@AC conducting polymer nanocomposites (CPN). The obtained CPN were characterized by HRFESEM, XRD, FTIR, and EDS. The nanocomposite materials showed excellent Cr+6 ions adsorption efficiency (Ad%) of 97.8% with adsorption capacity (qe) of 340 mg/g. The impact of various parameters like pH, adsorbent dose, initial Cr+6 ions concentration, temperature, and contact time on Ad% and qe were evaluated. The recycling experiments of NPPY-AgNP's@AC CPN revealed their enhanced reuse performance and could be utilised for five consecutive cycles without suffering much reductions in their initial efficacy. The novel PPY-AgNP's@AC CPN seems to be highly efficient materials for Cr+6 ions removal from polluted water.
Monetary credibility as a social value in the contemporary monetary law and central banking law
Authors: Dimitrijević Marko
Published: December 2023

The subject matter of analysis in this paper is the concept of monetary credibility and its important place in the normative framework of contemporary monetary law. The emphasis on the importance of credibility in public monetary management has been present as a basic axiological subordinate to the norms of monetary law since it was established as an independent and independent branch of the legal order. The content and direction of the monetary activities of the central bank, as the basic subject of monetary law, were mixed over time and adapted to new circumstances, which resulted in the expansion of the regulatory competences of the central bank, the emergence of new theories about the legal custody of money and establishing limits of legal responsibility in the work of monetary agents. Notably, the meaning of credibility has remained the same, being the final monetary legal thought of each epoch, the ideal and the ultimate purpose of this branch of law with all its institutes, principles and categories. Contemporary monetary law, which has sui generis legal sources, proves to be extremely flexible even in today's unstable social conditions and suitable for transformation into the law of necessity. In extraordinary circumstances, when it is required in a value context, it does not make credibility the primordial value of public management of every institution. Thus, the central bank remains in the central position.

In this paper, the author sheds light on the 2020 reform of the Swiss inheritance law, which was instituted by amending the succession law provisions of the Civil Code of the Swis Confederation (2020). The new provisions have been in force since January 2023. The research on this subject matter is aimed at determining the scope and the quality of the revised Swiss legislation on intestate succession. To this effect, the author focuses on a number of new provisions related to statutory heirs: reduction of the children's protected share (forced heir ship portion of the decedent's descendants); abolition of the parents' protected share (forced portion of the decedent's parents); loss of the forced portion for the surviving spouse or same-sex partner in a registered civil partnership in case the divorce proceeding or the proceeding for dissolving a registered civil partnership has been initiated but a spouse or a registered civil partner dies before the proceeding is terminated; a qualitatively different concept of contractual freedom embodied in inheritance contracts; the impact of the "three-pillar system" of the Swiss pension and disability insurance on the exercise and protection of the right to forced portion; changes and nomotechnical improvements of provisions concerning the order of gratuitous donations from which the forced heirs' portion is settled. For the purposes of this paper, the author applied the dogmatic legal science research method, the normative legal research method, and the legal history research method. In the author's opinion, the new provisions on intestate succession are largely aimed at ensuring a greater freedom of testamentary disposition of gratuitous donations, both inter vivos and mortis causa. However, the new legal solutions seem to be insufficiently aligned with the social circumstances in contemporary Switzerland because the right to statutory inheritance is not recognised to an extramarital partner, whereas it is granted to a spouse or a same-sex partner from a registered civil partnership, even though extramarital partnerships are equally present in real life as marriage and registered same-sex partnerships.

In this paper physical and metallographic properties of a dissimilar aluminium alloy frictionstir-welded joint (FSW) of non-heat treated aluminium alloy 5083-N111 as well as heat treated aluminium alloy 2024-T351 are examined. The chosen tool for welding had a standard screw thread radius, and for the welding parameters the ratio R/v = 750/73 was chosen. In order to determine the change in electrical conductivity and electrochemical parameters of the base materials and the welded joint in corrosive environments depending on the change in microstructure due to welding, metallographic analysis of the welded joint on an optical microscope was performed, and electrical conductivity and electrochemical parameters of the base material and the welded joint were also examined.

The paper presents comparative test results of X10CrMoVNb9-1 steel collector samples. The influence of repeated heat treatment on the properties of the material was investigated, and the samples underwent a different number of thermal cycles. This material is most often used for pipes and pipe connections resistant to high pressures and temperatures. Steel is characterized by high thermal strength properties, which is why it is used in thermal power plants for superheater pipes, collectors as well as for high pressure steam pipes. It can be used even at high temperatures up to 600°C. The aim of this paper is the behaviour of the material during repeated heat treatment, which often occurs during the installation of the pipeline, and is caused by the repair of defects in the welded joint, incorrect installation of the pipeline and similar procedures.

Welded structures place increasing demands on the level of increased resistance to fracture. A large number of fractures of welded structures, which occur during exploitation at a stress level below of the allowable, indicates the danger of brittle fracture. The assessment of brittle fracture susceptibility was analyzed by testing Sharpy specimens, and the total impact energy, components of total impact energy (crack energy initiation and crack energy propagation) were used as parameters in the analysis.

This paper describes the formation of an analytical model of heat generation and transfer during friction stir welding. By solving differential equations of heat transfer, adapted for friction stir welding, the foundations for the formation of an analytical model were laid. In order to vary the technological parameters of welding that affect the generated heat, certain approximations were performed and the stress state of the material was observed at elevated temperatures. The aim was to simulate heat transfer for thin and thick plates, by obtaining a planar and spatial temperature image for certain welding parameters. The formation of the analytical model was performed in the Python programming language.

This paper presents the issue of ensuring the integrity of structure - rotary kiln, after a catastrophic failure of integrity due to fatigue fracture of the bearing ring. Due to the impossibility of continuing production and the time required to replace the bearing ring with a new one, the only possible solution was repair welding. A total of 26 days (24/7) were worked non-stop in all weather conditions from + 25 ° C to -15 ° C, sun, rain, snow, ice and wind. It took over 550kg filler material (electrodes and wires) to repair the crack in the bearing ring in dimensions of Ø5400x900x370 made of casted steel 100CrMn6 over 40 years old. Special attention was paid to heat input, preheating temperature, interlayer temperature to prevent additional deformations and avoid remaining stresses after welding. After a month of intensive work, the rotary kiln was put back into operation condition, so that the Cement Factory d.d. Kakanj can again respond to the market requests for clinker and cement for the upcoming construction season.

O número de Veículos Elétricos (VEs) tem crescido significativamente nos últimos anos, sendo os setores de transportes e de energia diretamente impactados. Em relação aos sistemas elétricos, os VEs são integrados às redes elétricas para recarga e devem estar associados a sistemas de distribuição de baixo carbono para potencialização dos seus benefícios. Nesse sentido, a recarga inteligente por meio da associação de sistemas Fotovoltaicos (FV) e Sistemas de Armazenamento de Energia por Baterias (BESS, Battery Energy Storage System) à infraestrutura de eletropostos tem se destacado, sendo indispensável a projeção da capacidade instalada da estação e de seus componentes mediante a previsão de aumento de número de VEs. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo dimensionar uma estação de recarga de VEs conectada à rede elétrica, considerando a expansão da frota de VEs do CIMATEC Park entre 2021 e 2030, bem como diferentes cenários de intensidade de uso dos veículos. Para modelagem, dimensionamento e simulação da estação de recarga projetada, o software HOMER Grid foi utilizado. Além disso, entre os parâmetros analisados, avaliou-se a potência FV necessária para atendimento dos VEs, a potência solicitada pela estação à rede elétrica, o número de ultrapassagem de demanda contratada e a potência FV injetada na rede elétrica. Os resultados evidenciaram que considerando a intensidade de uso do veículo de 218 km/dia e consumo energético de 800 kWh/dia, uma planta FV de 75 kW e um BESS de 100 kW/375 kWh realizam suporte à rede elétrica durante a recarga de VEs, em que o sistema de armazenamento atua tanto na otimização da geração FV quanto no controle de demanda.
