Authors: Saragi Hadi Sutanto , Siswanto Joko , Silalahi Fitriani , Yudhistira Titah , Sitohang Nathan Saputra
Published: December 2024

The Business Model Canvas and value chain have significantly impacted how companies and entrepreneurs develop their business strategies. Both the Business Model Canvas and the value chain provide a simple, visual approach to effectively map out the key elements of a business. They have also been used as foundational models for ecosystem business models. Ecosystem business models are created by integrating the Business Model Canvas and the pie model, known as the Integrated Business Model. Another method for generating an ecosystem business model is integrating the value chain and the pie model, known as the service-dominated business model radar. Ecosystem business models with an organizational approach also provide a broad view of the roles of each organization, divided into five actors: governor, input provider, aggregator, enabler, and end user. In this research, the perspective of the ecosystem business model originates from an ecological analogy. The ecological concept consists of community ecology and ecosystem ecology. Community ecology relates to the types of actors that play roles in the ecosystem, while ecosystem ecology pertains to the value chain processes within the ecosystem. This research will discuss the advantages and limitations of the Business Model Canvas, the value chain, and organizations as foundational models for ecosystem business models, as well as opportunities to create new ecosystem business models based on the concepts of community ecology and ecosystem ecology. The new business model developed will be applied to electric vehicles in sustainable tourism areas.

Branched broomrape (Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel), an obligate parasitic weed with a wide host range, is known for its devasting effects on many crops worldwide. Soil fungi, notably Fusarium sp., are described as pathogenic to broomrape, while the hypothesis of the phytotoxicity of fusaric acid produced by F. verticillioides for parasitic weeds of the genus Orobanche has been proposed. Using image analysis and untargeted metabolomics, this study investigated fungal metabolites phytotoxic for P. ramosa and produced by the F. venenatum MIAE02836 strain, isolated from symptomatic broomrapes and identified as a promising candidate for broomrape biocontrol. Phytotoxicity tests of crude extracts from the fungus alone or in interaction with broomrape on P. ramosa microcalli and quantification of necrosis by image analysis confirmed the phytotoxic potential of F. venenatum MIAE02836 metabolites towards the early developmental stages of P. ramosa. Data analysis of a non-targeted metabolomics approach revealed numerous metabolites produced by F. venenatum MIAE02836. Four of them, accumulated during interaction with the parasitic plant, are known for their phytotoxic potential: maculosin, cyclo(Leu-Phe), phenylalanyl-D-histidine and anguidine. These results suggest that combining image acquisition of the microcalli screening test and untargeted metabolomic approach is an interesting and relevant method to characterize phytotoxic fungal metabolites.
Multi-Scale Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) Valuation for Wetland Ecosystems: A Case Study of Lishui City
Authors: Zhu Zhixin , Wu Keyue , Zhou Shuyue , Wang Zhe , Chen Weiya
Published: December 2024

Traditional gross ecosystem product (GEP) accounting methods often operate at macro scales, failing to reflect the localized and nuanced values of wetland ecosystems. This study addresses these challenges by introducing a fine-grained classification system based on a localized adaptation of international standards. The framework integrates high-precision national land surveys and remote sensing quantitative analysis while incorporating fisheries resource models, climate regulation beneficiary mapping, and visitor interpolation to address data scarcity related to human activities. This approach refines the spatial calculation methods for functional quantity accounting at fine scales. The results demonstrate that the refined classification maintains consistency with traditional methods in total value while adapting to multi-scale accounting, filling gaps at small and medium scales and providing a more accurate representation of localized wetland characteristics. Additionally, the study highlights the dominance of cultural services in GEP, emphasizing the need to balance cultural and regulatory services to ensure fairness in decision-making. Finally, a village-scale decision-support model is proposed, offering actionable guidance for wetland management and sustainable development planning.
Hydrogeological, Hydrochemical, and Geophysical Analysis of a Brine-Contaminated Aquifer Addressing Non-Unique Interpretations of Vertical Electrical Sounding Curves
Authors: Hibbs Barry J.
Published: December 2024

A comprehensive hydrogeological, geophysical, and hydrochemical investigation was conducted in southeastern Hitchcock County, Nebraska, within the Driftwood Creek alluvial aquifer. This study assessed groundwater contamination stemming from the surface disposal of saline wastes from oilfield activities. A contaminated area, initially identified through regional groundwater sampling, was examined in detail. Monitoring wells were installed, and groundwater and soil samples were collected for chemical analysis. Surface electrical resistivity surveys were also performed to delineate contamination patterns. The findings revealed that the groundwater contamination originated from the leaching of residual evaporative salts through the vadose zone, beneath an abandoned emergency-evaporation brine storage pit. Data from down-hole specific conductance logs, water quality analyses, and computer-generated interpretations of surface electrical resistivity indicated that contaminant migration was primarily influenced by gravity, bedrock topography, and the local hydraulic gradient. An initial surface electrical resistivity profile survey was conducted to optimize the placement of monitoring wells and soil sampling sites within the vadose zone. Following well installation, a contaminant source with complex brine contamination patterns was detected within the shallow aquifer. Vertical electrical soundings were then carried out as the final investigative step. The data from these soundings, combined with test hole records, water level measurements, brine contaminant distribution, and soil analyses, were refined through a computer program employing the method of steepest descent. By incorporating known layer thicknesses and resistivities as constraints, this approach minimized the common issue of non-unique electrical sounding interpretations, providing information on the distribution of brine contaminants within the alluvial aquifer.

Published: December 2024

Preventing lipolytic spoilage of glazed confectionery products is a relevant issue. The breakdown of fats by lipases leads to the accumulation of free fatty acids, which initiate rancidity and may have an undesirable taste or odor. Studies of microbiological parameters and lipase activity in raw materials have shown
a correlation between the degree of contamination and lipase activity. An assessment of the impact of
the degree of contamination of model glaze samples containing 15%, 25%, and 28% cocoa products on
changes in the quality indicators of the samples was made. The infl uence of the degree of contamination
on the maximum shelf life of cocoa-containing semi-fi nished product was confi rmed. A method has
been developed for predicting changes in the quality of cocoa-containing confectionery products based
on the content of microorganisms with lipolytic activity, which allows predicting the organoleptic spoilage of confectionery products according to their initial contamination.
Using raw materials with specifi ed quality indicators to manage the confectionery shelf life

Published: December 2024

The justifi cation of requirements for various types of raw materials occurs while ensuring the principles
of safety and non-misleading of consumers. To establish requirements for raw materials, it is necessary
to evaluate or predict the direction and rate of change in the quality of products during storage.
The quality of multi-component confectionery during storage is determined by many interrelated and
mutually infl uencing factors. For a number of confectionery products with low humidity, it is possible
to determine the shelf life in an accelerated way, based on increasing the storage temperature of the
products to 50ºС, thus increasing the intensity of oxidative processes by 3–4 times. A certain set of indicators
corresponds to a certain shelf life of products; therefore, it is possible to manage the shelf life of
multi-component confectionery using the laws of physical, chemical, and microbiological processes. The
considered approaches allow comparing diff erent technologies and estimating the approximate shelf
life and the results of using new types of raw materials, fats, or other ingredients.

At the Crossroads of Destiny: Romania’s Tumultuous Journey from 23 August 1944 to the Armistice: Consequences
Authors:   Faculty of History and Philosophy, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Sălăgean Marcela
Published: December 2024

The second half of 1944 was one of the most complex periods in Romania’s contemporary history. It all started with the act of 23 August, after which Romania not only left the alliance with Nazi Germany, but had to endure Soviet pressure, to accept the entry of communist representatives into the government and the provisions of the Armistice Agreement, as well as the removal of Northern Transylvania from the administration of the Romanian state and the establishment of the Soviet administration in the region. However, despite everything that happened, one of the objectives for which Romania had first entered the anti-Soviet war, then the war against Hitler, was fulfilled. The Romanian–Hungarian border drawn at the end of the First World War was restored.

Este estudo relata o caso de um paciente de 42 anos, vivendo com HIV/AIDS, que apresentou um quadro clínico complexo, caracterizado por tosse crônica, febre persistente e perda de peso significativa. Inicialmente, os testes rápidos por antígeno tanto para tuberculose e histoplasmose resultaram negativos, apesar dos sintomas sugestivos dessas infecções. Somente após a realização de uma broncoscopia com lavado broncoalveolar foi possível confirmar o diagnóstico de histoplasmose disseminada por meio de cultura fúngica. O caso ilustra as limitações dos testes rápidos em pacientes com imunossupressão grave e ressalta a importância de métodos diagnósticos convencionais, como culturas microbiológicas, para a identificação precisa de infecções oportunistas em pacientes com AIDS avançada. O estudo destaca a necessidade de uma abordagem diagnóstica combinada e diversificada para melhorar o manejo clínico e reduzir a mortalidade associada a infecções graves em pacientes imunossuprimidos. Conclui-se que a integração de testes rápidos e convencionais, aliados a uma interpretação criteriosa dos resultados, é crucial para o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento eficaz dessas condições.

There are many MSME business actors and they are spread across urban, rural, and even remote areas. MSME businesses do not require a high level of education so that Indonesian people with low levels of education can also become actors in this business. Due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of accounting and business financial reports, the purpose of this activity is to increase understanding of the importance of recording and preparing financial reports in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). This activity was carried out using the method of socialization and mentoring of one of the MSME actors in Yogyakarta, namely Meyva Collection. Previously, business actors still used private in their business results, did not separate personal and business transaction accounts, and did not record consignment sales. The results of this community service activity are expected to increase the knowledge of Meyva Collection business actors by routinely recording expenses such as sewing wages, purchasing raw materials for fabrics, determining the cost of production, so that they can make financial statements of profit and loss. In addition, we also hope that Meyva Collection business actors will routinely record direct sales and consignment income in accordance with SAK EMKM. This activity can foster a mindset in business actors that understanding financial report information based on SAK EMKM is very important for business development and capital participation.

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation leads to the degradation of the extracellular matrix and collagen, thereby accelerating skin aging and imposing substantial psychological burden on patients. Current anti-aging strategies are limited and often associated with high costs or strong side effects. Plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanovesicles, with advantages such as natural availability and cost-effectiveness, show potential in anti-aging interventions. This study extracted extracellular vesicle-like nanovesicle from
Polygonum multiflorum
(PMELNVs) and systematically investigated their composition and metabolic pathways, further examining their efficacy and underlying mechanisms in combating photoaging. Results revealed the excellent antioxidative properties of PMELNVs, alleviating UV-induced oxidative stress, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase production, reducing extracellular matrix degradation, promoting collagen synthesis, and ultimately exerting anti-photoaging effects. Additionally, safety assessments demonstrated favorable biocompatibility of PMELNVs. This study provides novel evidence supporting PMELNVs’ ability to resist photoaging by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing collagen expression, thereby offering potential as a new natural therapeutic agent against skin photoaging and promising a safer and more effective local anti-aging strategy.

REDUCING OBESITY RISK: PREVENTION STRATEGIES AND INFLUENCING FACTORS
Authors: Sančanin Branislav , Penjišević Aleksandra
Published: December 2024

Obesity, recognized as a chronic and relapsing disease, represents a significant public health issue with a prevalence that continues to rise. Worldwide, 16% of adults over the age of 18 are classified as obese, while 43% are considered overweight. The aim of this work is to highlight the urgent and comprehensive need to address this global challenge, which has profound implications for health systems and demands more effective political and economic decisions by governments. Additionally, it calls for improved communication with and motivation of patients, more effective treatment methods, and efforts to prevent stigmatization, all of which are crucial to ensuring successful treatment outcomes for obese individuals. The increasing prevalence of obesity-related conditions across all age groups necessitates the adoption of new public health measures and supportive actions. Treatment effectiveness and safety must be founded on an individualized approach, which requires consideration of the patient’s unique characteristics—such as age, comorbidities, and personal preferences—alongside the properties of medications, particularly their weight-reduction efficacy and safety profile.

Authors: Alushaj Xhorxhina , Milaj Dafina
Published: December 2024

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a widespread and debilitating condition that affects the quality of life and productivity of individuals globally. Manual therapy techniques, such as spinal manipulation (SMT), mobilization, massage therapy, soft tissue mobilization (STM), manual traction, and joint mobilization of the pelvis and sacroiliac joint, are widely used interventions for managing CLBP. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of these manual therapy techniques, evaluating their strengths, limitations, and supporting evidence in treating CLBP. A literature review reveals key insights into the effectiveness, safety, and clinical utility of these techniques. The findings emphasize the importance of tailoring treatment to individual patient needs and preferences. Spinal manipulation and mobilization have shown benefits in reducing pain and improving function, while massage and soft tissue techniques enhance relaxation and flexibility. Manual traction and joint mobilization provide targeted relief for specific conditions. This abstract underscores the role of manual therapy as part of multimodal treatment approaches, integrating therapeutic interventions to optimize outcomes. Future research should focus on refining manual therapy practices and identifying patient subgroups most likely to benefit. The findings inform clinicians about evidence-based approaches to CLBP, highlighting the need for patient-centered care and interdisciplinary collaboration.
PEDAGOGICAL VALUE AND RELEVANCE OF THE PLAY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PARENTS OF STUDENTS OF YOUNGER SCHOOL AGE AND TEACHERS
Authors: M. Milanović Nedeljko
Published: December 2024

The subject of the research is the pedagogical value and relevance of the play from the perspective of parents of students of younger school age and teachers. The aim of this research is to examine the opinions of parents and teachers about the importance of play in children's development. A descriptive method and surveying technique were applied. The sample consisted of 200 parents of students of younger school age and 145 teachers from the Republic of Serbia. The research results show that parents and teachers recognize the importance of play in children's development, while there are certain statistically significant differences between sociodemographic variables and the opinions of parents of students of younger school age and teachers regarding the importance of play in children's development. Interesting findings of the research show that unlike parents who self-assess that they know how to recognize the play that the child needs, teachers' agreement with this item is lower, while teachers do not fully agree that parents know how to recognize the play that the child needs. In accordance with these results, further research can direct attention to ways of promoting the play among modern parents. Also, further research can focus on the partnership between family and school in the context of children's play, whereby teachers as professionals and reflective practitioners should point out to parents the pedagogical value and relevance of play in children's development.
THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS DISRUPTING THE GEOPOLITICAL ORDER BETWEEN RUSSIA AND NATO
Authors: Selami Avduljselam
Published: December 2024

About twenty years ago, Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland's husband, published the book "Europeans act like they're from Venus, while Americans act like they're from Mars." The personification is more than clear. Venus is the symbol of love and peace, Mars is the god of war. The European dimension of NATO had a historical handicap, due to the "doctrine of agreement" according to which the Europeans "did not need to worry about interventions within the borders of the Alliance because the Americans have always been there". They designed and financed the defense of Europe. Europe successfully sheltered behind the shadow of Uncle Sam". Gradually geopolitics evolved especially after the NATO air campaign against FR Yugoslavia in 1999. Two decades later with the war in Ukraine, the world returned to the student war with serious threats of nuclear conflict. And Putin's Russia showed that it is from Mars. This encouraged NATO and EU allies to strengthen their ranks. The war in Ukraine cured NATO of apoplexy as diagnosed by Macron. The alliance also became attractive to its most indifferent allies Sweden and Finland. On the map of Europe, a big turn happened due to the NATO membership of the two neutral Scandinavian countries, Finland and Sweden. From a geopolitical point of view, Russia opposed the membership of Finland and Sweden in the Alliance, because the border with NATO was extended by two hundred kilometers. It can also be considered the biggest upheaval in Europe since 1989. On the other hand, Russia, with its invasion of Ukraine, violated the provisions of both international law and political declarations that protected the immutability of borders. "The whole project of the EU, European association and cooperation relies on such norms. The war happened and changed the perspectives of all countries, both those that are in NATO and those that have not been. The entire Western world stood on the side of the victims, on the side of the defense of the order that had maintained the stability of Europe since 1945." The war in Ukraine has disrupted the world geopolitical order. Globalization has been put in danger by the establishment of the largest sanctions against Russia. The alliance has consolidated and is looking for new allies and partners. On the other hand, Russia is also reorienting itself towards new allies, primarily China, N. Korea, Iran, the BRICS countries

The analysis conducted in this paper aims to enhance the understanding of leadership roles in managing human resource automation changes in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A prerequisite for this analysis was the development of descriptive statistical parameters to organize collected data based on common sample characteristics, particularly in the context of automation and its impact on human resource management. Various statistical learning methods were applied throughout the paper to analyze and interpret the variables required for this level of research. The analysis followed successful data collection through surveys conducted within SMEs, along with data cleaning and validation. The data were gathered to explore the changes brought about by automation, specifically the impact these changes have on leadership roles in human resource management. Special attention was given to analyzing employee skills and knowledge, as well as how leadership can facilitate the transition to automated systems. The process involved identifying and analyzing variables based on survey responses, with the goal of confirming the research hypotheses. Finally, statistical tests were employed to determine data patterns and assess the effects of leadership on the success of automation initiatives in SMEs. This research provides valuable insights into how effective leadership can smooth the transition to automated processes in human resource management within the SME sector.
THE BORDER ISSUE AND IRELAN- NORTHERN IRELAND RELATIONS
Authors: Tanevski Sasa
Published: December 2024

When Ireland was partitioned in 1920, it was a long time before geography and geopolitics took an interest in it. It was only with the peace process in the 1990s that a real scholarly debate emerged on the politico-territorial aspects of the Northern Ireland problem. However, the partition that was supposed to solve the Irish question actually created an even more complex Northern Irish problem, perhaps. Among the multiple dimensions of this problem (social, economic, religious, cultural), the territorial dimension has a central place. Since the 1920s, border antagonisms have played a major role in political tensions in Northern Ireland, but also between Dublin and Belfast, and between Dublin and London. Borders and divisions were also important factors in the forced displacement of Northern Ireland from 1969. However, this border issue should not be reduced to a simple binary opposition between nationalism, anti-partisanship, on the one hand, and unionism, partisanship, on the other. If the border question was so serious and complex in Ireland, it is because, identity is fatefully connected and determined in relation to the territory. Hence the importance of questioning the scope of the political compromise reached in 1998 with the Good Friday Agreement. Although this agreement appeased Northern Ireland, many doubted that a definitive final solution had actually been found. Some analysts call this period the post-national effect? With BREXIT, this process risked being jeopardized, but as time passes, no more dramatic changes are visible, except for infection. It seems that the EU, the United Kingdom and Ireland have managed to find an effective multilateral agreement on the future of Northern Ireland.
POWERS OF ADMINISTRATIVE INSPECTION BODIES IN SANCTIONING ECONOMIC MISDEMEANORS IN SERBIAN LAW
Authors: Radošević Ratko
Published: December 2024

In the paper, the author analyzes the connection between administrative inspection bodies ("inspekcije") and sanctioning economic misdemeanors in Serbian law. The purpose of the paper is to answer several questions. Why do administrative inspection bodies have specific powers in sanctioning economic misdemeanors and what gives them an opportunity to detect economic misdemeanors? What are the powers given to the administrative inspection bodies after detecting an economic misdemeanor and what is the legal nature of these powers? Classical legal methods are being used: dogmatic and normative. In answering to these questions, the author shows the general connection between administrative inspection ("inspekcijski nadzor") and detection of misdemeanors, using economic misdemeanors as a paradigm. After that, the author explains what powers administrative inspection bodies have after detection of economic misdemeanors, in imposing misdemeanor sanctions. Finally, the author analyzes the legal nature of these powers – whether they are only procedural or meritorious as well. The results show that administrative inspection bodies have two basic powers, depending on the specific economic misdemeanor: to initiate a misdemeanor court procedure by submitting the formal request or to issue a misdemeanor fine order ("prekršajni nalog"). The power to initiate a misdemeanor court procedure has a clear, procedural nature. Legal nature of the inspector’s power to issue a misdemeanor fine order, however, is not clear, because it depends on the legal nature of the misdemeanor fine order itself, which is also ambiguous. A misdemeanor fine order has been regulated in an unclear and illogical manner. It has been qualified both as a decision to impose a misdemeanor sanction and a request to initiate a misdemeanor court procedure at the same time. It has been given an ambivalent character, which a legal institution could not normally have. After a detailed analysis of the legal nature of a misdemeanor fine order, the author concludes, proving the main hypothesis, that it is a decision made to impose a misdemeanor sanction. This means that the powers of inspectors, when issuing a misdemeanor fine order, are the powers of essentially meritorious nature. The author recommends that the court's adjudication should be actually understood as a judicial protection which has been given to the offender. This is the way the legislation should also change, so that the various legislative contradictions could be removed and so that the powers of administrative inspection bodies could have a clear legislative grounds.
A CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF POPULATION FROM THE EAST (HELLENIC-SPEAKING COUNTRIES) IN THE MUNICIPIUM ULPIANA IN THE SOUTH OF THE PROVINCE OF UPPER MOESIA
Authors: M. Samardžić Gligor

The paper presents the data regarding the inhabitants from the east (Hellenic‑speaking countries) in the municipium Ulpiana in the south of the province of Upper Moesia (Kosovo and Metohija). The occupation of Dardania and the establishment of the Roman province of Upper Moesia led not only to territorial but also to ethnic changes in this area, about which we are insufficiently informed. By conquering the territory of Dardania and establishing their authority over it, the Romans left a certain autonomy to its inhabitants, followed by urbanization and Romanization from the 1st to the 4th century. After occupying Dardania, there was a period of introduction of the local population into the Roman state-political order, as well as the organized settlement of colonists of oriental origin (Hellenic-speaking countries). The Roman administration introduced the local population in Moesia with a new period which brought new achievements to the conquered areas. Urbanization was carried out gradually, through the settlement of Roman citizens, the oriental population (Hellenic-speaking countries), and the served legionnaires, in colonies, followed by the promotion of native settlements to the rank of cities under Roman law, municipium. This process led to the integration of a significant part of the native population from the south of Upper Moesia (Kosovo and Metohija). A significant number of foreigners, settlers from the east (Hellenic-speaking countries) lived and worked in the south of Upper Moesia, primarily in urban areas. It should be noted that the majority of epigraphic monuments from the area of Kosovo and Metohija belong to Roman citizens who immigrated from the Romanized areas of the Empire. They mainly originate from the two largest city centers, Ulpiana near Gračanica and the Roman settlement near Sočanica, in the Ibar valley. Diverse archeological finds and epigraphic monuments shed some light on these processes in the municipium of Ulpiana.

Communications and the communication process have a significant impact on organizational development and modern management. This impact is decisive and requires an analysis of the internal and external factors that can affect the success of the organization. The purpose of the development is to emphasize the possibilities for personal improvement through the effects of the communication process and the construction of basic and specific communication skills among workers in modern organizations. The main tasks that are logically related to the set goal and follow from it are: to highlight the essence of personal development through communication in organizations; to emphasize the importance of general factors related to personality development; to identify the basic communication skills favoring personal development in modern organizations. Through effective communication, leaders can convey their visions and strategies to employees, inspiring and motivating them. Also, through open dialogue and exchange of ideas, a better understanding of strategic goals and methods is created. The basic methods used in the development are qualitative, namely - philosophical analysis, synthesis of new theory and analysis of concepts and definitions. From the quantitative methods, the literature review was used. The main results, based on the analyzes already made, show that personal development, strategic thinking and communication in organizations are essential for managing change and adapting to a changing environment. A basic conclusion can be drawn that clear and open communication helps employees to adapt more quickly to new strategies and actively participate in overall organizational development. The main recommendation is the need to take into account the influence of strategic thinking and organizational communications on modern and increasingly dynamically developing organizations. These influences are undoubtedly positive as they contribute to better management, achievement of strategic goals, growth and fruitful cooperation. The additional data that can be indicated in connection with the issues already considered are aimed at the positive identification and presentation of the personality, by means of improving various useful skills such as the formation of digital literacy and culture.
