Published: January 2023

Preservation of cultural heritage is one of the efforts that can be made to maintain and pass it on to the next generation, one of which is Lontar Prasi Bali. Thousands of prasi lontars are recorded in poorly maintained and damaged conditions in terms of form and physical appearance. This article aims to implement Augmented Reality in digitizing the Balinese lontar prasi so that it can preserve, promote, and develop the arts and ancestral heritage so that they have appeal and understanding in the present and even into the future. The application development method uses research and development with the stages of making 3D objects and the process of character animation with Blender, building applications with Unity software and making markers consisting of 3D objects and marker configurations on the Prasi Lontar Sheet. Application testing using a loading response time technique with higher smartphone specification results can provide a faster response time needed to run the application, as well as a User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) test with 86 respondents who showed pragmatic quality, herdonic quality, and overall results above the average (Excellent), so that it shows that this AR application is good and as expected.
Neoliberal Capitalism, Older Adult Care and Feminist Theory
Authors: Brady Samantha ,   Caribbean Philosophical Association
Published: January 2023

Classic feminist social theory highlights the exploitation of women’s labor in capitalist societies traditionally through an examination of how housework and childcare is perceived and organized, excluding an explicit analysis of older adult care work. In light of the surge in the demand for older adult caregiving over the last several decades, this paper uses older adult care work as a new lens to understand how gender, and its intersections with other critical identities such as race, ethnicity, and nativity, are a basis for continued exploitation and marginalization in modern capitalist systems. Building on Marxist feminism and Sylvia Wynter’s work on social value and domination, I argue that women’s care labor, both paid and unpaid, is an instrument of capital accumulation that differentially exploits women based on key intersectional identities. An examination of the system of older adult care work in the United States allows us to see the multilayered and complex system of exploitation that creates and institutionalizes existing social hierarchies as capitalism seeks to expand. The paper ends with a discussion of two potential family care paths America could conceivably pursue in the coming years; one toward increased commodification of care work in line with neoliberal capitalism, and the other toward more comprehensive social welfare policies that alleviate women’s reproductive labor burden and begin to break down gendered and racialized hierarchies.

Published: January 2023

Islam has a very long history of civilizational development. Seeing islamic civilization has always been oriented towards the Eastern world. Historically, Eastern civilization has never been separated from Western civilization. In fact, it can be said that the West is the center of civilization because a large part of the development of science and technology is currently developing in the West. In the study of Occidentalism, Islamic civilization is termed the Eastern region while European civilization is termed the Western region. This study needs to be carried out to release the East from two dependencies, namely dependence on the West and also dependence on Eastern discourse oriented towards religious theology only. To achieve this, Easterners set solutions, sometimes set things and set another, and still believe in relationships between one another. In this study, we will discuss childfree in the East-West paradigm. The end result, is the equality of civilization between East and West, so as not to blame each other or feel the most right for one civilization or the phenomenon that exists, in this case regarding childfree.

Authors: Hafizh Rasko Jadiyantara Muhammad , Arfina Sukabdi Zora
Published: January 2023

Public transportation systems such as the Lebak Bulus MRT are likely to become prime targets for terrorists due to the potential for disruption, destruction, and possible escape of perpetrators, due to size, openness, accessibility, lack of identification of passengers, and the number of people carried by the transportation system. Risk prevention and preparedness in the Lebak Bulus MRT transportation system is critical to internal security and requires proper analysis of asset vulnerabilities, clear awareness of criticality, possible countermeasures, and adequate methods to design, scale and optimize protection. This study uses a literature study research method. The author uses previous research sources that are relevant to the topic under study, especially related to the security system and prevention of terrorism attacks at MRT Lebak Bulus Jakarta. CPTED is a complex strategy that will include a variety of interventions and behavioral responses from different groups of users. CPTED involves territoriality, surveillance, access control, activity support, image/management, and target setting. In the Mass Rapid Transportation (MRT) Lebak Bulus, the vulnerability to terrorist attacks can be identified based on physical security theory. The main vulnerability is the MRT central depot. All MRT control is in the central depot, not on the mechanics. The MRT driver is only in charge of opening and closing the train doors, so that the control of the MRT, which is located at the Lebak Bulus central depot, places the vulnerability to hijackings by terrorists.

Student learning outcomes are influenced by two factors, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors come from within students and external factors that come from outside students. Internal factors such as students' abilities, interests and motivation to learn, while external factors such as environmental conditions, schools and learning quality. The use of media in learning can help the limitations of educators in conveying information as well as the limitations of class hours. The media serves as a source of information on learning materials and as a source of practice questions. The quality of learning is also influenced by individual differences of students, both differences in learning styles, differences in cognitive abilities, differences in learning speed, and differences in background. This research and development aims to develop learning media for Android-based network server administration on basic network server administration materials, knowing the process of designing learning media developed, and making learning media developed using smart apps creators. There is no android-based learning media in the subject of network server administration. From the results of the preliminary study, it can be illustrated that the learning media used in the learning process still use paper and print media. Student learning outcomes are still far from expectations (KKM). Software development uses the waterfall model development method. In the waterfall there are several main stages that describe software development activities. The reason for using the waterfall method is because the stages in system development in the waterfall model are clearly structured.

Republica lui Platon
Authors:   MultiMedia SRL, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: January 2023

Republica a fost scrisă aproximativ între 380 și 370 î.e.n. Titlul Republica este derivat din latină, fiind atribuit lui Cicero, care a numit cartea De re publica (Despre treburile publice), sau chiar ca De republica, creând astfel confuzie în ceea ce privește adevărata ei semnificație. Republica este considerată parte integrantă a genului literar utopic. Al doilea titlu, Peri dikaiou (περὶ δικαίου, Despre justiție), este posibil să fi fost inclus ulterior.
Tema centrală a cărții este dreptatea, argumentată cu ajutorul mai multor teorii platonice, inclusiv mitul alegoric al peșterii, doctrina ideilor, dialectica, teoria sufletului și proiectul unui oraș ideal.
Republica este considerată de mulți academicieni drept cel mai mare text filosofic scris vreodată, fiind cartea cea mai studiată în universitățile de top.
Karl Popper și problema demarcației între știință și ne-știință
Authors:   MultiMedia SRL, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: January 2023

Karl Popper, ca raționalist critic, a fost un oponent al tuturor formelor de scepticism, convenționalism și relativism în știință. Multe dintre argumentele sale sunt îndreptate împotriva membrilor “Cercului Vienez”. Popper este de acord cu aceștia cu privire la aspectele generale ale metodologiei științifice și neîncrederea lor în metodologia filosofică tradițională, dar soluțiile sale au fost semnificativ diferite. A contribuit semnificativ la dezbaterile privind metodologia științifică generală, demarcarea științei de pseudoștiință, natura probabilității și metodologia științelor sociale.
Biopolitica și geopolitica
Authors:   MultiMedia SRL, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: January 2023

Bioputerea face referire la practica statelor naționale moderne prin o explozie de numeroase și diverse tehnici pentru realizarea subjugării corpurilor și controlul populațiilor. Foucault a folosit termenul pentru a se referi în mod specific la practicile de sănătate publică, printre alte mecanisme de reglementare. Biopolitica este un concept care ia în considerare administrarea vieții și a populațiilor unei regiuni guvernate. Biopolitica produce o societate disciplinară generalizată și controale de reglementare prin biopolitica populației. Incluziunea biopolitică produce efecte geopolitice, prin politicile de grijă față de propria etnie, creând motivațiile pentru încorporarea unor teritorii separatiste. Discursurile biopolitice și geopolitice se întăresc și se susțin reciproc, și se pot condiționa reciproc. Studiul acestor corelări ne poate ajuta să înțelegem mai bine motivul acțiunilor.

Clinical and cytopathological traits of herpes zoster: A report of two cases
Authors: Marimuthu Varshini , Jayakumar Dinakar , Shanmugasundaram Gowri
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Varicella zoster virus is a highly infectious a-herpesvirus, pathogenic only to humans. The primary infection of varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox, which is contagious and primarily infects children and adolescents in India. Following the primary infection, the virus remains dormant in sensory root ganglia. Activation of the dormant virus in later stages of life causes herpes zoster infection which may vary from subclinical infection to typical zoster, scattered vesicles, zoster sine herpete or disseminated zoster, which depends on the individual's immune status. Case report: In this case series, we present two patients with herpes zoster involving the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. Cytology revealed characteristic features of the infection including nuclear moulding, multinucleated giant cells and ballooning degeneration. Conclusion: More recently, patients presenting with herpes zoster have been reported to have sub-clinical Covid-19 infection, suggesting a possibility that herpes zoster might be an indicator for latent Covid-19. Timely detection and treatment of this infection can reduce the risk of post herpetic neuralgia.

Authors: Mirceska Arsovska , Damevska Katerina , Simeonovski Viktor , Jović Andrija , Tiodorović Danica
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune skin disease that typically presents with severe itching and blistering, with or without eczematous and urticarial lesions. Patients with BP are at an increased risk of comorbid conditions, especially neurologic and psychiatric diseases. Several recent studies have found a link between BP and neurological disorders, especially stroke, dementia, and Parkinson's disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of neurological and psychiatric comorbidities and their treatment in BP patients. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study was conducted based on the analysis of the medical records of 105 patients with confirmed BP. Demographic and clinical data on BP, neurological and psychiatric comorbidities were collected and statistically analyzed for all patients. Results: The median age was 77.8±10.6 years (range, 39-98 years). Among the study group, 71 (67,61%) patients had neurological comorbidity. Comorbidity with the highest frequency was ischemic stroke found in 28 (26,67%) patients, followed by dementia in 27 (25,71%), Alzheimer's in 11 (10,48%) and Parkinson's disease 5 (4,76%) patients. It was noted that there was a statistically significant difference among male and female patients with Alzheimer's disease (p = 0,0046) and psychiatric disorder (p = 0,044). Conclusion: Neurological disorders usually precede the diagnosis of BP, and mortality may be higher in patients with comorbid conditions. Clinicians should be aware of the early signs and symptoms of BP, primarily in patients with primary neurological disorders such as dementia, stroke, or Parkinson's disease.
An overview of the hematological picture with antithyroid therapy in Graves' disease
Authors: Gokce Aksanur , Omma Tulay , Çelikc Mustafa , Taşkaldıran Işılay
Published: January 2023

Aim: Graves' disease is an autoimmune thyroid disease that is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Peripheral blood cell parameters such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets play a role in inflammation control. Several studies have proven that neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio are indicators of chronic subclinical inflammation in various diseases. In our study, we aimed to review the peripheral blood picture by evaluating these parameters before and after antithyroid treatment in patients with Graves' disease. Patients and methods: A total of 120 patients (93 female, 27 male) between the ages of 18-65 were included. Demographic data, hemogram and biochemical data of the patients were recorded retrospectively at the time of diagnosis and after euthyroidism was achieved with medical treatment. Results: During the treatment, there was an increase in hemoglobin, lymphocytes, neutrophils and red cell distribution width, while a decrease in monocytes was observed. There was no significant difference between white blood cell, platelet and mean platelet volume. In addition, while there was no statistically significant difference between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.8) and thrombocyt-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.078) after euthyroid state, a statistically significant difference was found in favor of a decrease in monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Changes in hematopoiesis are relatively common in patients with newly diagnosed Graves' disease, and initiation of antithyroid therapy leads to improvement in these parameters. Although neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio are accepted as new, non-invasive markers in clinical evaluation, in our study only a significant decrease in monocyte-lymphocyte ratio levels was observed after euthyroidism was achieved with antithyroid treatment.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life of laryngectomized patients
Authors: Petrović-Lazić Mirjana , Babac Snežana , Ilić-Savić Ivana
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Quality of life is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to changes in the daily routine, there was a change in the psychosocial functioning of individuals. Given that laryngectomized patients belong to a vulnerable group that requires psychological support after surgery, specific epidemiological measures during the COVID-19 pandemic could only further increase the fear and reluctance that is especially pronounced after surgery. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was a link between the quality of life of laryngectomized patients and the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The literature review was performed through the Google Scholar Advanced Search search engine and the Consortium of Libraries of Serbia for Unified Acqusition - KoBSON. Results: The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the emotional well-being of patients with head and neck cancer. These patients became even more anxious due to the high mortality from the COVID-19 viral infection, hospital occupancy and missed therapeutic examinations. The need for togetherness, impaired concentration and attention, irritability and fear that family members might suffer from a deadly disease were the most common behavioral problems identified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The psychological burden associated with the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic should not be overlooked, given the fact that laryngectomized patients have twice the risk of suicide compared to patients who have undergone other types of cancer. Assessing the quality of life in laryngectomized patients is very important because it enables the timely identification of mental disorders and suggests the necessary support measures.

Authors: Zubić Ivana
Published: January 2023

The goal of this research was to test whether and to what extent personality traits contribute to the explanation of state anxiety in athletes. This study relied on a multidimensional construct of anxiety which includes somatic and cognitive anxiety and sport self-confidence. Dimensions of anxiety were measured with "Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2"-CSAI-2, and HEXACO basic personality traits were measured with the instrument HEXACO-60. The research sample consisted of 117 athletes, who were engaged in various competitive sports. Results showed the statistically significant correlations between honesty, emotionality, extraversion, and conscientiousness as personality traits on the one hand and cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confidence on the other. Whereas correlations between agreeableness and openness to experience on the one hand and cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confidence on the other are not statistically significant. Multiple regression analysis were conducted with the aim of predicting the dimensions of anxiety based on personality traits in athletes. Based on personality traits 37% of variability in cognitive anxiety, 30% of somatic anxiety, and 36% of variability in self-confidence were explained. This study provided a better understanding of the personality traits of athletes that contribute to state of anxiety, coping with challenges and reacting in competitive situations.

The research sample was represented by the teams participating in the ABA League (12 teams) and the Euroleague (16 teams) in the 2018/2019 season. The regular part of the season was organized in a two-round league system for both leagues, where 264 games were played within the ABA league, and 480 games in the Euroleague. Based on the results obtained using the T-test for independent samples, it was noticed that there are statistically significant differences in 3 point shots from the central position (p<0.000), 2 point shots from the central position (p<0.000), and within the key (p=0.002), and when it comes to the shooting efficiency, significant differences appear in the 3 point position on the left side (p=0.010) and the right corner (p=0.041), as well as for 2 points inside the key (p=0.001). Analyzing the percentage of shooting efficiency, it is clear that Euroleague teams have a higher quality compared to teams from the ABA league, which is in line with previous research where it is indicated that 2-point shots are one of the most important factors for a team's success in competition. Euroleague teams take most of the shots from the key in relation to other positions, as well as ABA teams, while the level of efficiency is reversed. Considering that in both leagues, the largest number of shots was taken from the key, it can be concluded that the number of shot attempts is a more important factor than efficiency when it comes to success in competition.

Monitoring and analysis of competition routines in rhythmic gymnastics have so far provided a lot of useful information on the development trends of this sport and current models in elite sport, but also pointed out shortcomings in the development system of this sports discipline, trying to guide its development in the right direction. However, there are still insufficiently researched areas in this field, numerous doubts and incomplete analyses, and this study was organized as a certain contribution to solving these problems. The aim of this paper was to determine whether routines with different types of apparatus differ in the routine components, which describe the competitive performance i.e.,score in rhythmic gymnastics. The analysis included a total of 1044 routines from the two Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships, including 261 routines with each apparatus (hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon). There were 7 variables examined in relation to the scores achieved by the competitors for individual components of the routine, as well as in regard to the total score. Statistical data analysis was performed using the SPSS 21 program and Microsoft Excel 2015. The Kruskal-Wallis test for independent samples was used to test the differences in scores between the routines with different types of apparatus. The results have shown that differences between the routines with different types of apparatus exist in all components of the routine, except in the component of artistry

In the paper we present the results of a research on applying a holistic approach in practice from the perspective of preschool teachers. The research was conducted during the school year 2021/2022, on a sample of 229 in-service preschool teachers from Vojvodina. The subject of the research is the preschool teachers' self-evaluation of their own knowledge, skills, valye system, and motivation regarding the application of the holistic approach in teaching preschool children. The aim is to determine the current situation relative to using this approach, as well as individual actions (supporting, expanding, modeling, encouraging children's initiatives, consulting) incorporated in the new Foundations of the Preschool Education Program - Years of Ascent (Osnove programa predškolskog vaspitanja i obrazovanja - "Godine uzleta"), for early development and learning from the point of view of the preschool teachers. The obtained results indicate that preschool teachers generally agree that using the holistic approach during an early development of children contributes to children's welfare. When it comes to individual actions, the results show that preschool teachers use supporting the most and modeling the least in their everyday work. In addition, teachers evaluate modeling and expanding as the most significant, and consulting and encouraging the least significant actions based on the holistic approach in their work with children.

Critical thinking is one of the key 21st century skills. It is considered to be one of the fundamental learning outcomes, which makes it a topic of many discussions on the concept of quality in higher education. Consequently, many ways have been developed to encourage the development of critical thinking and problem-based learning is one of them. In this paper we start from terminological definitions of the concepts related to the problem-solving learning and critical thinking in order to shed more light on their correlation in the context of learning in higher education. The authors of the paper show the impact of the problem-solving learning on encouraging students' critical thinking by analyzing the results of theoretical and empirical research of the above-mentioned problem area. Apart from advantages, we point out the disadvantages in terms of additional research in the context of higher education, as well as conceptual consideration of the critical thinking concept.

The design of a foreign (Russian) language textbook for adult beginners presents a challenge, both in terms of method selection and the selection of elements within its macrostructure, primarily the texts, as well as exercises and the choice and design of illustrative materials, which are crucial for the textbook efficacy. The concept of a foreign language textbook for adults should be based on the communicative approach, which involves equal mastery of all manifestations of functional, pragmatic, and linguistic competences. The topics covered in the textbooks are specified by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages for each level individually, but their presentation should be adapted to the age of the target learners, which is rather broad - from students to senior citizens. Special attention should be paid to the selection and presentation of linguistic-cultural features, whose minimum is not predetermined and which needs to be defined along with the necessary comparison of cultures, either overt or covert. Therefore, along with the aforementioned definition of the linguistic-cultural minimum for A1 level, the paper will also present the theoretical and methodological premises, as well as the application of necessary methods and procedures within the possible structural solutions for overcoming difficulties in creating such a textbook.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between preservice English teachers' special field competencies and their possible selves regarding their first year in the profession. The study, adopted by the quantitative research approach, is an example of a relational screening model. The sample of the study consists of a total of 357 preservice teachers studying in the English language teaching department in Turkey in the 2017-2018 academic year. The data of the study were collected by the "English Teacher Special Field Competencies Assessment Scale" and the "New Teacher Possible Selves Questionnaire". Descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation and linear regression methods were used to analyze the data. In the study, it was determined that there was a moderate and positive relationship between pre-service teachers' special field competencies and their expected possible selves, and a moderate negative relationship with their feared possible selves scores. It has been determined that there was a moderate and positive relationship between special field competencies and expected possible selves while there was a moderate and negative relationship between the competencies and feared possible selves. Besides, it has been revealed that special field competencies are significant predictors of expected and feared possible selves.

Practical skills involve activities that enable independent functioning. People with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) require systematic teaching in order to acquire them which excludes barriers. The aim is to determine correlation between the level of self-help skills and the presence of teaching barriers. The secondary aim is to determine the predictors for acquisition of both. The sample comprised of 53 participants of different age and gender, diagnosed with ID or ASD. The level of self-help skills was determined with the use of Checklist for self-help skills assessment (Verbal Behavior Milestones and Assessment protocol - VB Mapp Self Care Checklist Supplement - Sundberg, 2008), while the presence of teaching barriers was assessed by using the Barriers Assessment Scale (VB-Mapp Barriers Assessment - Sundberg, 2008). The results show that gender and diagnosis are not significant predictors of either self-help skills or teaching barriers. The participants from the youngest age group have lower level of self-help skills than the participants from the middle and oldest age group and they have more teaching barriers than both other age groups. The participants with more teaching barriers have lower level of self-help skills. The results indicate the need for removing barriers during the treatment of these children from an early age, in order to enable acquiring self-help skills, but other skills as well. It is important to determine the most prevalent barriers in both groups, as well as self-help domains in which they have deficits.

This exploratory mixed method research aimed to develop parent and child forms of a scale to measure parents' practices to reward and punish their children. For the qualitative strand, semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents (n = 54) and their children (n = 39). The qualitative analysis revealed four major themes regarding parental rewarding practices (material rewards, activity-based rewards, permission, and verbal and emotional rewards) and three major themes regarding parental punishment practices (response cost, verbal and emotional punishment, and corporal punishment), which were used to develop two sets of prospective items. At the quantitative strand, EFA and CFA analysis were performed using data obtained from a total of 701 parents and 620 children to test the psychometric properties. As a result of the research, both Parent (PRPS-P) and Child (PRPS-C) forms of Parental Reward and Punishment Scale (PRPS) were developed for use at the K-12 level with favorable psychometric properties.
