Svojinska transformacija sportskih klubova u Srbiji- nedovršena tranzicija -
Authors: Šuput Dejan
Published: March 2024

U ovom radu autor je u znak sećanja na pokojnog kolegu i prijatelja Jovana Ćirića, obradio temu o kojoj su tokom dugog niza godina razgovarali. Glavni razlog usled koga se autor ovom prilikom opredelio baš za navedenu temu rada jeste okolnost da je pokojni Jovan Ćira bio autor radova u svim zbornicima radova koje je u proteklih petnaest godina objavio Institut za uporedno pravo u vezi sa fudbalom i sportom. Autor je detaljno opisao i objasnio potrebu za modernim zakonskim uređenjem materije sporta i neophodnost reforme celokupnog pravnog okvira koji uređuje sport u Republici Srbiji, kao i potrebu za sprovođenjem privatizacije u oblasti sporta. U tekstu je istakao okolnost da je reč o temama o kojima se neprestano polemiše u stručnoj javnosti i medijima još od vremena raspada Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije. U kratkim crtama, prikazana su dva koncepta svojinske transformacije u oblasti sporta, koji su svaki za sebe izrađeni i predstavljeni u različitom vremenskom periodu, a usled nastupanja svetske ekonomske krize 2008. godine i kasnije pandemije izazvane virusom SARS-COV2 tokom 2020. godine, ostali su u senci tih kriznih situacija kao mrtvo slovo na papiru. U zaključnom delu teksta iznet je stav da je uprkos svim rizicima i nedostacima koje neki budući zakonski okvir za svojinsku transformaciju sportskih organizacija i privatizaciju sportskih objekata može da donese, neophodno što pre sprovesti proces svojinske transformacije u okviru sportskog sistema Srbije, a kako bi on pokušao da uhvati korak sa modernim sportskim sistemima evropskih država.

Published: March 2024

Coconut fiber is an alternative material to replace metal. Coconut fiber was chosen because it is easy and widely found in Indonesia and is easily decomposed naturally. Even though its strength is much lower than metal, coconut fiber can be used to make objects that do not require a lot of strength, one of which is drones. In this research, coconut fiber composites were made and tensile tested to determine their strength for use as a frame for small surveillance drones. The composite is made by mixing coconut fiber mat (as fiber) and Unsaturated Polyester (as resin) using the hand lay-up method. Coconut fiber composites are tested according to ASTM D-638 standards. Based on the tensile test results in this research, it was found that the coconut fiber composite had a tensile strength of 18 MPa. Then this number is used as a benchmark in determining the size of the surveillance drone frame to be designed. Based on the results of the calculations carried out, it was found that the thickness required for a drone frame made from coconut fiber is 4 mm

Authors: Shahzad Dr. Sobia , Zeib Fakhta , Tariq Naeemullah
Published: March 2024

The tourism industry's reliance on social media as a potent marketing and promotional tool is increasingly evident, with platforms offering unparalleled reach and engagement with potential travelers. This research employs the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory to investigate the adoption and spread of social media platforms within the tourism industry. Using a sample of 300 respondents, selected through snowball sampling, the study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS to analyze the data. The research aims to understand the relationship between social media usage by different entities—government and official authorities, influencers, and tourism organizations—and its impact on tourism promotion and travelers' plans. Results indicate a significant positive relationship between government and official authorities' adoption of social media and the promotion of tourism. Similarly, social media use by influencers and tourism organizations positively influences tourism promotion. Moreover, this study underscores the substantial influence of government-backed promotions and those supported by tourism organizations on the future travel plans of tourists. Notably, these promotional efforts play a crucial role in shaping the decisions of prospective travelers. In contrast, the research found a negligible impact of influencers' promotion on individuals' travel plans. The study's model, explaining 57% of the variance, attests to its predictive accuracy and concludes that in the contemporary digital era, the tourism industry's adept utilization of social media platforms, particularly through government and tourism organizations, emerges as a powerful force that significantly molds tourists' plans and contributes substantively to the industry's sustainable growth.

The researcher evaluated the role of “The Indigenous Knowledge and Natural Conservation Aspects of Life of Baganda, the people of Uganda’’ Facts are that, in Buganda Kingdom, Uganda, Africa and the world over, wildlife is decreasing and terribly deteriorating at a rate unseen and unheard of before.  This could be addressed by the intervention of the Indigenous knowledge and natural conservation aspects of the life of Baganda, the people of Uganda, through the use of totemism, taboos and people’s spirituality. A phenomenological research design in the study was employed since it focused on the commonality of lived experiences (verbatim) within a particular group or individuals, aiming to arrive at a description of the nature of the particular phenomenon. As a qualitative study, sample size of 34 from the population size of 3,392,333 people was used for the study. This was because a qualitative study is supposed to have a large enough sample size to uncover a variety of opinions, but limited the size at the point of saturation which occurs when the collection of new data does not shed any further light on the issue under investigation. Findings showed that, Buganda’s traditional wildlife conservational knowledge based on totemism, taboos and people’s traditional spirituality was very effective in wildlife conservation, and the same knowledge is still applicable and relevant in nature conservation today. A ‘Culturally Based Conservation Model (CBCM) was arrived at aiming at amending the existing conservation policies by the Government of Uganda,  integrating them with Buganda’s indigenous traditional conservation knowledge.The study therefore recommends that, environment authorities like National Environment Management authorities and (NEMA) and Uganda Wildlife authority (UWA) should work with various cultural institutions and researchers to ensure integration of the indigenous knowledge into modern  conservation strategies.

Published: March 2024

Indonesia is one of the coffee-producing countries as well as coffee bean exporters which ranks fourth in the world. Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world which has become a major need for people without realizing it. Based on the results of previous studies that coffee drinkers using sugar can increase cholesterol levels. Excessive cholesterol in the body will accumulate in the walls of blood vessels and cause a condition called atherosclerosis, namely narrowing or hardening of the arteries. This condition is the forerunner of heart disease and stroke. This study aims to determine differences in cholesterol levels in coffee drinkers without sugar and coffee drinkers using sugar in the working area of Karang Pule. This research is an analytical observation using capillary blood samples of respondents who drink coffee without sugar and drink coffee with sugar. The data obtained in this study were recorded and presented in tabular form and analyzed descriptively. From the results of the study, it was found that the results of examining cholesterol levels in coffee drinkers without sugar were 15 people with an average cholesterol level of 169 mg/dl. Meanwhile, coffee drinkers using sugar were 15 people with an average cholesterol level examination of 242 mg/dl
Expériences vécues par les patients ayant été touchés par leur médecin généraliste

Published: March 2024

La peau est à la fois un contenant, une protection contre le monde extérieur et une interface dont la fonction est de communiquer avec les autres. Le corps et l’esprit cohabitent. La chair est la matérialité à travers laquelle les humains expérimentent subjectivement et apprennent à connaître le monde. Cette reconnaissance de la nature incarnée de l’expérience humaine remet en question l’objectivité scientifique, qui peut conduire les cliniciens à traiter le corps des patients comme des objets de palpation, d’entretien et de suture. Le concept de corps-sujet remet en question la façon dont les professionnels de la santé apprennent à se concentrer sur le corps-objet pour fixer des limites personnelles et professionnelles. Être en contact avec un patient par le toucher a une signification personnelle, interpersonnelle et, plus largement, culturelle.

La bêbête qui résiste L’échec du traitement a été considéré comme un facteur important de l’augmentation de l’incidence de la gale au cours de la dernière décennie. Cependant, les différences régionales et temporelles, ainsi que les facteurs prédictifs de l’échec thérapeutique, ne sont pas clairs. Une métaanalyse à effets aléatoires a été réalisée pour tous les résultats rapportés par au moins deux études. Les essais randomisés et quasi randomisés et les études observationnelles portant sur des enfants ou des adultes atteints de gale et traités par perméthrine, ivermectine, crotamiton, benzoate de benzyle, malathion, soufre ou lindane, et mesurant l’échec du traitement ou les facteurs associés à l’échec du traitement ont été inclus. Au total, 147 études ont pu être incluses. La prévalence globale de l’échec thérapeutique était de 15,2 % (intervalle de confiance à 95 % (IC95) = 12,9-17,6 ; I2 = 95,3 % ; preuves de certitude modérée) avec des différences régionales significatives (p = 0,003). L’ivermectine orale (11,8 % ; IC95 = 8,4-15,4), l’ivermectine topique (9,3 % ; IC95 = 5,1-14,3) et la perméthrine (10,8 % ; IC95 = 7,5-14,5) présentaient une prévalence d’échec relativement plus faible par rapport à la prévalence globale. La prévalence des échecs était plus faible chez les patients traités par deux doses d’ivermectine orale (7,1 % ; IC95 = 3,1-12,3) que chez ceux traités par une seule dose (15,2 % ; IC95 = 10,8-20,2 ; p = 0,021). La prévalence globale et la prévalence de l’échec du traitement à la perméthrine dans les études incluses (de 1983 à 2021) ont augmenté respectivement de 0,27 et de 0,58 % par an. L’augmentation du nombre d’échecs au fil du temps laisse supposer une diminution de la sensibilité des sa

Connections of Green's relations of a Γ-semigroup with operator semigroups
Authors: Awolola Johnson , Ibrahim Musa
Published: March 2024

The theory of Γ-semigroups is an extension of the semigroup theory. In this paper, we examine the left operator semigroup L and the right operator semigroup R via modified definition of Γ-semigroup and deduce some results of operator semigroups acting on a Γ-semigroup. Further, we study some relationships between Green’s equivalence relations of a Γ-semigroup and its left (right) operator semigroup. In particular, we show that if two elements of a Γ-semigroup S are L(R)-related, then the two elements of L(R) resulting from S for every α ∈ Γ are also L(R)-related. Also, we describe that if two elements of S are α and β-idempotent such that the two elements are R-related in L, then their R-relation holds in S for some α, β ∈ Γ.

Published: March 2024

A evasão escolar é um desafio diário para instituições de ensino, no caso específico do ensino superior as altas taxas acarretam perdas financeiras e escassez de profissionais no mercado. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo desenvolver e avaliar um modelo preditivo para identificar alunos propensos à evasão, utilizando dados de um modelo semestral de autoavaliação dos cursos de graduação da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB). Utilizando a mineração de dados educacionais e a metodologia CRISP-EDM, o estudo analisou a relação entre evasão escolar e autoavaliação institucional, seguido de análise exploratória e preparação dos dados para classificação. Diversas técnicas de modelagem, como Árvore de Decisão, Floresta Aleatória e Máquinas de Vetores de Suporte, foram aplicadas, sendo os modelos avaliados por métricas de desempenho, revelando uma acurácia de 87,97%, precisão de 91,72%, recall de 91,67% e medida F de 91,57% na identificação de alunos com alta probabilidade de evasão. Cerca de 59% dos alunos ativos da UFPB admitidos a partir de 2017 demonstraram probabilidade de abandonar seus cursos nos testes do modelo preditivo proposto. Essas informações podem embasar decisões institucionais e a implementação de políticas e ações eficazes contra a evasão, visando melhorar os resultados acadêmicos. O estudo contribui para avanços na predição de evasão escolar, fornecendo insights valiosos para decisões e estratégias preventivas na UFPB e outras instituições de ensino superior.

Published: March 2024

This study aimed to investigate the ability of 1H-MRS to evaluate drug-resistant colon cancer in vivo. Xenograft tumour mouse models were generated by parental SW480 cells (5-FU-responsive) or SW480/5-FU cells (5-FU-resistant). After 1H-MRS was performed on these Xenograft tumour mouse models, the tumour lesions were resected for the in vitro assessment of the expression of drug resistance-related proteins and glutathione metabolism-related enzymes. The tumours from SW480/5-FU mice showed significantly higher levels of choline, Glx1, and Glx2 detected by 1H-MRS than the tumours from SW480 mice (P < 0.05). The SW480/5-FU tumours also showed higher expression of glutathione metabolism-related enzymes (P < 0.05). The 1H-MRS-detected metabolites showed positive correlations with the expression levels of drug resistance-related proteins and glutathione metabolism-related enzymes. Glx1 and Glx2 metabolites detected in vivo by 1H-MRS may be biomarkers of 5-FU drug resistance in colon cancer.
Heat Transfer Fluids and External Convection Effects on Transient Thermodynamic Behavior of a Parabolic Trough Solar Collector in Sahelian Climate
Authors: Audrey Heugang Ndjanda Steven , Tchoffo Houdji Etienne
Published: March 2024

This chapter deals with the comparison of four heat transfer fluids (HTFs) for enhanced performance in heat transfer rates on the Sandia experimental LS-2 collector in Sahelian climate. The tested HTFs are dry air, liquid water, Therminol VP-1™, and Syltherm 800. In the literature, the thermal modeling of the parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSCs) is done by assuming: the steady-state or quasi-steady-state regime, the constant properties of HTFs, and others. These assumptions underestimate the transient heat transfer through the HTF flow. Moreover, the best theoretical performance of PTSCs evaluated in terms of idealized processes has not been developed satisfactorily yet. Subsequently, none effective assessment method of the PTSC has been experienced to investigate its transient thermal and thermodynamic sensitivity to (1) the collector, (2) operational, and (3) meteorological parameters. The implemented numerical approach here follows the transient analysis on the first and second laws of thermodynamics published recently. The physical model of a tubular receiver comprised an outer glass envelop, absorber pipe, and heat transfer fluid. Their respective heat rate balance equations were reliably established, discretized by the finite volume method, and efficiently computed. Then, a transient exergy-degradation analysis is conducted and validated using the available experimental results.
The Importance of Vitamin E in Cardiovascular Health
Authors: Kimi Uehara Sofia , Ramalho Andrea , Teresa Bento Claudia
Published: March 2024

Vitamin E (VE) is the main antioxidant of the cell membrane. Research has extensively explored the use of VE in preventing or treating diseases associated with oxidative stress in humans, with a particular emphasis on cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Studies suggest a range of effects beyond its well-established antioxidant action, including anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, lipid-lowering, anticoagulant, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective properties. Regarding the effects of VE on the prevention or treatment of CVD and cardiovascular outcomes, the studies showed conflicting results. The benefits of VE were suggested as: (1) the inverse association between increased intake of VE and the risk of stroke, (2) reduced CVD mortality rate, (3) increased glutathione and reduced C-reactive protein, malondialdehyde, LDL, and blood pressure, (4) lower risk of CVD and metabolic syndrome with higher intake of VE, and (5) lower systolic blood pressure. However, a positive association between VE supplementation and diastolic blood pressure was observed. Other adverse effects of VE supplementation have been suggested, such as an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke and a small but significant increase in the risk of hospitalization in patients with heart failure. Therefore, it is not possible to recommend VE supplementation for the prevention and treatment of CVD.
Complications Following Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Authors: Cem Ozcan Veysel
Published: March 2024

Postoperative complications following colorectal cancer surgery occur in approximately 50% of patients, resulting in increased healthcare expenses and a decline in quality of life. Complication classification systems are commonly used to assess and categorize these adverse events across various healthcare institutions. The widely used Clavien-Dindo system is effective in classifying complications based on their clinical severity, yet it does not provide insights into the underlying factors contributing to their occurrence. Another classification system, the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) surgical risk calculator, was developed to accurately predict complications and length of stay. Most current studies primarily focus on the prevention of complications, employing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative interventions. Factors such as surgical technique selection, fluid therapy, transfusion preferences, and mechanical bowel cleaning can all play a significant role in reducing the occurrence of complications. Furthermore, patient-associated factors such as age, gender, tumor location, and body mass index (BMI) also influence the likelihood of experiencing complications. Postoperative complications not only negatively impact short-term quality of life and healthcare costs but also have long-term implications on oncological outcomes. These complications can result in delays or discontinuation of chemotherapy, even in patients who have clear indications for systemic therapy.
Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Beyond Progression
Authors: Kaan Güren Ali , Köstek Osman
Published: March 2024

Metastatic colorectal cancer is a major health problem, accounting for 8.1% of US cancer cases. Although 5-FU-oxaliplatin-irinotecan-based chemotherapy combination regimens and targeted therapies have increased 5-year survival rates to around 13%. The still low rate of this rate increases the demand for new treatment options. Advances in the discovery of tumor biology have made it possible to better define the subtypes and resistance mechanisms of metastatic colorectal cancer. In this regard, personalized treatment strategies are becoming increasingly important in the treatment of advanced stages of metastatic colorectal cancer. New therapeutic options, immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies against various targets, and multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors are available in the treatment of later lines of metastatic colorectal cancer. The treatment strategy is based on patients’ performance status, residual toxicity, and especially molecular profile.

Published: March 2024

Enterococcus bacteria, usually found in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans, are used as an indicator of possible environmental contamination with enteropathogenic microorganisms. This group of bacteria is shed by healthy livestock and humans potentially contaminating the environment and water sources and may consequently cause public health problems in poor hygiene setups. Mitigation of the adverse effects arising from this requires a One-Health approach to reduce animal and human infections, and avail safe food of animal origin in a sustainable manner. Notably, enterococcus infections emerge as important nosocomial infections, aided by escalating antimicrobial resistance, increasing population of immunocompromised individuals and inadequate diagnostic techniques. This chapter will elucidate the intricate web of transmission and infection as pertains to enterococcus occurrence in food-producing animals. Prevalence, public health implications and mitigation strategy will be addressed.
Virulence Determinants of Enterococcus faecium
Authors: Reissier Sophie , Penven Malo , Michaux Charlotte , Cattoir Vincent
Published: March 2024

Enterococcus faecium, a member of the human gut microbiota, has emerged as a notable opportunistic pathogen, contributing to a diverse range of hospital-acquired infections. Its capacity to thrive in various anatomical sites and initiate infections is attributed to an elaborate suite of virulence determinants. Prominent among these are cell surface components and pili structures, which facilitate initial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation. Additionally, temperature-regulated gene expression augments virulence by enhancing adherence and biofilm formation. E. faecium also employs sophisticated mechanisms to modulate host immune responses, including hindering leukocyte killing through membrane structures like lipoteichoic acids and capsular polysaccharides. Bacteriocins confer a competitive edge by inhibiting competing bacteria, while global regulators orchestrate biofilm formation and stress responses. The stringent response further enhances adaptation to stress conditions. Understanding these virulence factors is paramount for unraveling the intricacies of E. faecium infections and devising effective therapeutic strategies.
Estimating cost of pothole repair from digital images using Stereo Vision and Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Olaye Edoghogho , Owraigbo Eriksson , Bello Nosa
Published: March 2024

A significant amount of road maintenance cost goes into pothole repairs. The primary cost factors related to potholes are their size and depth, as larger and thicker potholes incur higher repair costs. However, existing methods for estimating pothole repair in developing countries rely on manual size measurements, which is time consuming, labor intensive, subjective and can lead to poor estimation of repair cost. This paper presents a system that can automatically determine the size of potholes from digital images and estimate the cost of repair.
In this study, the stereo vision method was used to automatically estimate the depths of potholes from digital camera images. A feed-forward backward propagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was trained using pothole images acquired using mobile phones. The predicted depths and sizes of the potholes were then used to estimate the quantity of materials required to fill the potholes and subsequently, the cumulative cost of repair. Marking out and manual size measurements were performed for twenty randomly selected potholes in the Ugbowo Campus of the University of Benin, Nigeria. These measurements were compared against the estimated sizes of potholes predicted by the ANN model. A system was developed to automatically compute these material costs and considering other cost components such as transportation, labor, and equipment.
Results obtained showed that the mean errors for depth, width and height estimates were 3.403%, 3.789% and 5.2617% respectively. Consequently, the developed system correctly estimated the cost of repair of the potholes considered in this study. A significant contribution of the paper is the speed and convenience of acquiring pothole data using a mobile phones without the need for on spot assessment of potholes or use of relatively more expensive stereoscopic camera setup.

Objectives: Tooth extraction and replacement with dental implant represents a common treatment choice, when teeth are hopeless. We presented a clinical case, the treatment of which was carried out by the method of orthodontic extrusion technique. This technique can increase alveolar bone level and also soft tissue level. The increased amount of alveolar bone can improve primary implant stability and be compared with bone regeneration techniques.
The purpose of presenting this clinical case is to emphasize the efficiency of orthodontic extrusion.
Methods and materials: A 45-year-old female patient referred by the general dentist regarding cosmetic defect and tooth mobility in the area of the anterior upper teeth. During the examination, her upper right central incisor was found to be mobile, with diastema and slight congestion in the anterior teeth Photographs, CT and X-ray studies of the patient were used. The patient was bonded with .018 slot Roth prescription ceramic brackets (Dentaurum, Germany). After achieving the optimal results of orthodontic treatment and the necessary extrusion of the upper right central incisor, the tooth was removed and replaced with a dental implant. After six months, the patient had a crown with a screw fixation of zirconium dioxide with ceramic application
Results: As a result of orthodontic extrusion, clinically significant increase in alveolar bone and gingival tissue was reported. This resulted significant qualitative and quantitative improvements in the implant site. As the clinical case was in aesthetic zone, we could also rehabilitate beautiful smile of patient and increase her self-esteem.
Conclusions: Summing up the above and the results of the treatment of this patient, we can definitely say that orthodontic extrusion technique is effective for implant site development. As we have described, this can effectively move the facial gingival margin and allow for esthetic restoration of implant placed in the extruded tooth position without any bone graft.
Toward Closing the Moral-Judgment Gap: Conceptualizing Learner-Centered, Multi-Modal Business Ethics Education
Authors: Jaeger Jacqueline R. ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2024

Business ethics can be taught as a stand-alone course or be woven throughout a curriculum. There is a debate over whether to teach ethics in the form of theory or real-world connectedness or both. A moral-judgment gap exists, and many believe Business education should promote knowledge and skills that enable ethical intentions to be followed with ethical behaviors. This conceptual paper diagrams where the gap exists in Business Ethics education and theorizes how multi-modal, learning-centered ethics teaching can bridge this shortfall. Literature from the field of Education is drawn upon for pedagogies that promote learning and application. Case studies, constructed narratives, and simulations function as several key components useful for developing complex skills needed for applying ethical reasoning. Additional components and strategies that undergird and reinforce the case studies and other active learning components are laid out in pyramid form toward an overall best-practices approach to developing principled moral reasoning in Business Ethics.

Miscreants, in the form of deviants and dark personalities, impact organizations more than we realize. Most management instruction on ethics issues focuses on helping students to understand how to evaluate difficult situations, make ethical decisions, and engage in ethical actions. While this approach works well for the individual decision maker, it fails to help students learn how to anticipate and proactively prevent the unethical actions of others. Using ethical codes as a backdrop, “Thinking Like a Bad Guy” is a provocative classroom activity to elicit critical and creative thinking among business students. The goal of this exercise is to facilitate student learning so they can anticipate the behaviors of bad actors and alter organizational processes and procedures to mitigate the ability of others to violate organizational ethical standards.

Research outlines positive associations between religiosity, forgiveness, and relational satisfaction. This mixed-methods analysis examines how religiosity influences transgressions and forgiveness among friends. A total of 251 adults described transgressions and forgiveness in their friendships, forgiveness-granting strategies, relational outcomes, and religiosity. Religious participants utilized more nonverbal and explicit strategies to communicate forgiveness than non-religious respondents. Religiosity was positively associated with a stable relational outcome, following forgiveness. An inductive analysis illuminated differences based on religiosity. Whereas non-religious respondents and Protestant females favored the discussion-based, conditional, and explicit forgiveness strategies, Protestant males and Catholics tended to withhold forgiveness following a relational transgression or even terminate the friendship.
