Authors: Khairul Azan  , Rosadi Kemas Imron , Muntholib Muntholib
Published: July 2021

Quality is a determining indicator of the existence of Islamic higher education institutions in the future. Higher education with quality will be in demand by the community. Therefore, quality must be a priority indicator in the implementation of Islamic-based higher education. In order for the quality to continue to increase, universities should implement the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM) in all areas of university administration. Integrated quality management requires the existence of an Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) which aims to ensure the implementation of ducation according to standards. In order for the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) to run well, it is necessary to have a quality culture that is well understood and implemented by stakeholders. The quality culture contains several aspects, namely: 1) focus on customers, 2) obsession with quality, 3) scientific approach, 4) long-term commitment, 5) teamwork, 6) continuous improvement of the system, 7) education and training, 8) controlled freedom, 9) respect for everyone, 10) unity of purpose, 11) involvement and empowerment of employees. Efforts that can be made in developing and maintaining the quality of Islamic higher education include: 1) Strategic Plan as a basis for implementing education, 2) building a higher education brand image, 3) consistency in implementing the internal quality assurance system.

Published: July 2021

This article departs from the author's anxiety about Islamic epistemology vis a vis the Islamization of science in the worldview of interdisciplinary Islamic epistemology, Syed Muhammad Naqueb al-Attas regarding the Islamization paradigm of science with a concept with an approach based on the paradigm of Islamic epistemology. In this case, the problem of Islamization is fundamental epistemologically. However, al-Attas does not want to contradict one another, in fact, it further strengthens the Islamization of science under Islamic epistemology’s spirit or values. The epistemology of Islamic thought of Syed Muhammad Naqueb al-Attas regarding the concept of epistemology vis a vis the Islamization of science is not only built on revelation and religious belief. However, it is built on a cultural tradition strengthened by philosophical speculation related to secular life that focuses on humans as rational beings. As a result, science and ethical and moral values, governed by human reason, are constantly changing. Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas’ Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies is a conception of the need for the Islamization of science related to reality and truth is understood by the unification method where there is a unity between inductive and deductive, empirical, and rational principles. The approach and theory used in this paper explore the historical roots of the epistemological paradigm of Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas by combining esoteric and ecstical elements as well as the combination of secularism and religion. However, it must be an interdisciplinary scientific discipline in Islamic studies.

An appropriate combination of plant density with nitrogen (N) fertilization can optimize corn growth and increase grain yields. This study evaluated the effects of nitrogen topdressing rates and plant density levels on the agronomic performance of corn. The early hybrid DKB 240 YG, with high yield potential and stability, was evaluated in two summer crops in Mauá da Serra, Paraná (950 m asl), in a Cfb climate, on a Rhodic Eutrudox. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete blocks and subdivided plots with four replications. The plant densities (60,000; 75,000; 90,000 and 105,000 plants ha-1) were assessed in the plots and the nitrogen (ammonium nitrate 32% N) topdressing rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg ha-1) in the subplots. The stem diameter, plant height, ear insertion height and grain yield were evaluated. The stem diameter, plant height, ear insertion height and grain yield were influenced by the interaction between plant density and nitrogen topdressing under the tested high-altitude edaphoclimatic conditions. The stem diameter of corn plants decreased due to the increase in plant density whereas nitrogen topdressing attenuated this reduction. Maximum plant height was observed at a density of 75,000 plants ha-1 associated with a topdressing of 169 kg ha-1 of N, and highest ear insertion at 60,000 plants ha-1 and 168 kg ha-1 of N. Corn yield was highest at a density of 105,000 plants ha-1 associated with a topdressing of 185 kg N ha-1 of N.

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz is an emerging oil seed crop and research information on its response to different levels of phosphorous (P) fertilizer is lacking. The two years study was performed to investigate the response of C. sativa to various rates of P fertilizer. The experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement having four replications. The P was applied in soil at the rate of 0, 30, 40 and 60 kg ha-1 to two C. sativa accessions namely Canadian and Australian. Soil applied phosphorus rates had significant effects on the growth, yield and quality of C. sativa and two accessions were varied to each other. Australian accession performed better in terms of quality traits and Canadian was superior in terms of seed yield. An increase in P rate improved growth, yield and quality and 60 kg P ha-1 resulted in maximal crop growth rate (6.79), seed yield (1239 kg ha-1), total P uptake (0.67%) and oil contents (39.8%). The regression model estimated that each increment in P rate increased the seed yield by 11.5 and 11.2 kg ha-1 in Canadian and Australian accessions, respectively. Conclusively, increases in P rates (0 to 60 kg ha-1) impart a positive impact on C. sativa accessions and 60 kg P ha-1 was most effective to achieve optimum yield and profitability.

The guava is a fruit of strong economic and social relevance, regionally projected and greatly important in some regions of Brazil. The chemical thinning has been adopted in some fruit trees to obtain greater caliber of fruits and better prices. However, some aspects still need to be investigated for the safe and economical viability use of such technique. This research aimed to evaluate the chemical thinning efficiency, production and commercial classification of guava fruits cv. Paluma and provide an economic analysis of this crop system. The ethephon and benzyladenine were applied to fruits with an average size of 18 mm at 0, 150, 300 and 450 mg L-1. The trial was carried out in two crop seasons, and the randomized block design was used as statistical model in a factorial arrangement 2x4. The economic analysis was calculated through total production operational cost, in order to determine gross revenue, net revenue, profitability index, equilibrium price and yield. The benzyladenine and ethephon promoted the highest percentage of thinning fruits at 450 mg L-1, with averages of 67.6% and 70.0%, respectively. However, benzyladenine had a phytotoxic effect when applied at highest concentrations, 300 and 450 mg L-1, respectively. The ethephon enabled greater production of larger caliber fruits in the highest concentration (450 mg L-1). Chemical thinning reduced total operational cost and increased net revenue by 7.57%, as compared to hand thinning. Results also presented that chemical fruit thinning provided equilibrium yield of 4.98 t ha-1 for ‘Paluma’ guava fruit, as fresh fruit.

This study aimed to analyze the applicability of management tools such as SWOT matrix, GUT matrix, Brainstorming, PDCA, Ishikawa diagram, and 5W2H in improving milk quality in rural properties for family labor. The survey was conducted in 18 properties in the municipality of Senador Guiomard, State of Acre, Brazil, during the period from January to December 2019. The properties were divided into two groups (treatment group-TG and control group-CG) and the data obtained through a form with 255 questions for diagnosis and analysis (LQL-GO) for somatic cell count (SCC) and total bacterial count (TBC) were tabulated in spreadsheets (Excel®) and subjected to statistical analysis by the Wilcoxon test. Nineteen weaknesses were obtained through the GUT matrix. The implementation of milking practices using tools obtained an average reduction of 31.4% for SCC and 63% for TBC in TG and a reduction of 39.3% for SCC and an increase of 33.7% for TBC in CG. Thus, the management tools applied to milk quality are capable of generating positive results (p < 0.05) in microbiological control, facilitating quick decision-making, aiming at the correction of weaknesses, and, consequently, an increase in profitability.

Anglo-Nubian goats are hardy animals able to adapt to tropical environments, where their farming is usually held on pasture. However, climatic conditions in this environment also favor endoparasitism, which implies a negative aspect if sensitivity to worm infections interferes by reducing the reproductive lifespan of females, as their stay in the herd is a trait of great importance for efficient goat farming. In this respect, this study proposes to use the survival analysis methodology with the Cox-Gompertz proportional hazards model to assess the length of stay in the herd by relating the removal of females due to death with worm infection being the main cause to other forms of culling, using information from 101 Anglo-Nubian goats born from 2009 to 2013 in an experimental herd from Teresina - PI, Brazil. The Cox-Gompertz proportional hazards model chose body condition score, birth weight and birth season as important covariates (p-value ≤ 10%). Body condition score showed to be a favorable factor for the longer stay of the goats in the herd. Eggs per gram, age at first kidding, birth type and dam age were not significant. The Cox-Gompertz proportional hazards model is suitable for fitting the statistical model to estimate the length of stay in the herd, with censoring related to endoparasitism in Anglo-Nubian goats.

Three experiments were carried out to verify the effects of the enzyme phytase, alone or combined with an enzyme complex, in diets deficient in available phosphorus (AP), calcium (Ca), and metabolizable energy (ME) on broiler performance, ME, and dietary amino acid digestibility. A total of 1,538 male Cobb 500 broilers were allocated to the three experiments, each of which consisted of five treatments: positive control (PC; basal ration); negative control 1 (NC1; PC minus 0.15% of AP, 0.16% of Ca, and 68 kcal kg-1 ME); negative control 2 (NC2; PC minus 0.15% of AP, 0.16% of Ca, and 101 kcal kg-1 of ME); NC1 plus phytase; and NC2 plus phytase plus enzymatic complex. Body weight gain (WG) and feed intake were measured from 1-21 days and from 1-42 days, and the corrected feed conversion rate (FCR) for mortality was calculated. In the second and third experiments, the apparent ME corrected for nitrogen balance (AMEn) and standardized digestibility of amino acids, respectively, were determined, for the diets supplemented with phytase and the enzymatic complex. In the first experiment, enzyme supplementation increased (p < 0.05) WG at 21 days and 42 days relative to the negative controls. Phytase inclusion improved (p < 0.05) FCR at the initial phase compared to the NC1 diet. In the second experiment, enzyme supplementation did not affect (p > 0.05) AMEn. In the third experiment, both enzyme treatments improved (p < 0.05) the digestibility of amino acids in the supplemented diets compared to the deficient diets. Supplementation with phytase and carbohydrases preserves the performance of broilers fed diets deficient in AP, Ca, and ME and improves amino acid digestibility.

The mice were randomly assigned to five groups of eight, which comprised of the unexposed group and exposure groups including the lighting (1000 lux), noise (100 dB(A)), vibration (acceleration of 1.2 m/s2) and microwave (power density of 5 watts). The exposure groups were subjected to the four agents for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week during a 2-week period. Semen analysis were done according to World Health Organization guidelines. The highest significant mean difference in sperm count (-1.35×106/mL) had being observed between the microwave group and the control one (P=0.001). The highest difference in immotile percent (25.88 %) had being observed between the noise group and the control one (P=0.001). The highest difference in normal morphology (-27.06 %) observed between the lighting exposure group and the control group (P=0.001). The four agents can cause changes in different sperm parameters, however for definite conclusion; more laboratory and field studies are required. In total, exposure to microwave has had the greatest effect on sperm count and exposure to light has had the greatest effect on normal morphology and non-progressive motility. Moreover, exposure to noise has had the greatest effect on progressive motility and immotile percent, respectively.

Emotional State GEMÜTLICHKEIT in Cross-cultural Perspective: Corpus-based Approach
Authors: Mizin Kostiantyn , Petrov Oleksandr
Published: July 2021

The article is devoted to the cross-cultural study of the concept GEMÜTLICHKEIT representing ethnospecific emotional state relevant for the German-speaking community. To achieve the aim the language specific of the name of this concept – lexeme Gemütlichkeit – was revealed with the help of etymological, definitional, and contextual analysis, as well as the search for the interlingual equivalents, the usage of cross-cultural data and the data of representational language corpus. It has been proved that the concept GEMÜTLICHKEIT together with the concepts SICHERHEIT, ZUVERLÄSSIGKEIT and GEBORGENHEIT forms a unique “safety-cosiness quartet” of the German-speaking communities value system, i.e., the fragment of the world picture which together with the concept ORDNUNG is opposed to the existential fear – ANGST. A semantic profile of the word query Gemütlichkeit was built on the basis of the language corpus data. The profile “peaks” are the key features of the concept GEMÜTLICHKEIT. These features form the basis of the relevant definition of the lexeme Gemütlichkeit. The development of the definition was aimed not only at closing the gap in reference literature that needs a clear and complete definition of the concept GEMÜTLICHKEIT, but also at forming an adequate idea of this emotional state in the minds of the representatives of non-Germanspeaking communities.
Correlation Modeling Between Peening-Induced Hardness, Residual Stress and Roughness in Case-Hardened High Strength Steels
Authors: HO Hsin Shen , LV Cheng , HE Yonghui , ZHANG Erliang
Published: July 2021

The present paper is focused on the investigation of the correlation modeling of hardness and compressive residual stress on the surface and subsurface regions of case-hardened 18CrNiMo7-6 steels subjected to shot peening. The results exhibit that the relationship between hardness and compressive residual stress can reasonably well be approximated by an inverse linear model. The analysis suggests that the slope and y-intercept of the inverse linear trend line can be related to the compressive residual stress level and the initial material hardness, respectively. It is further revealed that the negative effect brought by the peening-induced roughness on the measurement of experimental data computed on the surface can be compensated by performing the normalization using the roughness parameter called the maximum valley height (Sv).

Background: Epidemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and quarantine implementation have had various effects on the psychological aspects of society. One of the psychological effects of COVID-19 is the fear of getting the disease. Objectives: The present study aimed to predict health anxiety based on spiritual well-being and cognitive emotion regulation strategies during COVID-19 in Iranian individuals. Methods: The present descriptive-correlational study was conducted on the statistical population of all 19-to-79-year-old individuals participating in the study online. A total of 545 subjects were selected by the convenience sampling method. These participants completed short-form health anxiety questionnaires, spiritual well-being scales, and short-form emotion regulation strategies online. The data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis using SPSS software (version 23). Results: The results showed that health anxiety had a significant negative relationship with spiritual well-being (r = -0.339**) and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (r = -0.308**). Furthermore, health anxiety had a significant positive relationship with maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (r = 0.390**). Overall, the aforementioned three variables explained 26.1% of changes in health anxiety. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed the impacts of spiritual well-being and cognitive emotion regulation strategies on health anxiety. Therefore, it is recommended that training based on spiritual teachings and emotion regulation strategies reduces health anxiety during the outbreak of COVID-19.

Authors: Nastić Nevena
Published: July 2021

The Seminary in Prizren, in addition to enabling the authorities from Belgrade to be present in the Ottoman Empire, was a center of cultural and educational development. The day it was founded seems like the day the struggle for liberation began, liberation of the Serbian population. She worker to preserve and raise national conscience among people in Old Serbia and Macedonia, who lived under various pressures from Turks, Bulgarians and Albanians. From its inception until today, the Seminary has been a cultural and educational nursery for Serbs. It represented the motherland of all schools that existed in that period in Old Serbia. It sought to help, not only individuals, also she has already advocated for the opening of new schools and the spread of literacy, as well as the survival of Serbian politics in these area. All the efforts of the Seminary to spread Serbian culture, tradition and religion would not have been successful without the Russian consulate, and especially the Russian consul Ivan Sthepanovic Jastrebov, then its founder and benefactor Simo Andrejevic Igumanov, but also all its managers who have changed over the years, and exposed to enormous risks in order to preserve this school and its significance for the Serbian people. The rectors and teachers of the school were seen by the Turks as spies who passed everything on to the authorities in Belgrade, so they were constantly interrogated, the school was searched, books that the Turkish authorities considered unsuitable were confiscater and destroyed, and the school and rooms where students and teachers slept was repeatedly searched. The school was a great responsibility for the they leaders, because they did not allow it to be closed, because at that time it was the only support for the Serbian people.

The paper deals with the relationship between academic, applied and practical knowledge in the field of applied psychology, which has the potential to contribute to economic and social development. The aim of the analysis is to make an initial insight into the dominant topics and social relevance of research activities in the field of work psychology in Serbia in the period of significant social changes (1995-2019). The material for the analysis consisted of abstracts of papers in the field of work psychology, which were presented at two leading national conferences - Empirical Research in Psychology and the Meeting of Psychologists of Serbia (N = 657). The thematic analytical procedure was used for the construction of the code system used for defining the criteria for collecting relevant data. Exploratory sequential design and comparative longitudinal analysis were used for data processing. The general conclusion based on qualitative data analysis suggests the existence of social relevance of research activities in the field of work psychology in this period. The results of the analysis were also considered from the perspective of some recent models of strategic planning and social development. The obtained results indicate the emergence of new topics and areas, as well as the existence of a link between significant social changes and research activities in the field of work psychology in this period. Some elements of the new paradigm of the positive human resource development practice are highlighted. The paper concludes with discussing the broader theoretical-methodological and practical implications of the obtained findings for work psychology.
The relationships between self-esteem and Ego-identity development
Authors: Tovarović Jelena
Published: July 2021

Identity and self-esteem are important concepts in the development and understanding of individual's self-perception. Perceptions and opinions of significant others influence the construction of adolescents' representations of self and the formation of identity, which, in turn, can be a strong predictor of self-esteem. The significance of our research is reflected in the examination of subjective choices and commitment to roles, values and goals in the domains of religion, occupation, politics and relationships, which can all affect self-esteem. Hence, this paper aims to examine the relationship between identity and self-esteem, more precisely, the impact of identity on self-esteem. The study involved 487 adolescents who completed two questionnaires: the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOMEIS-2), which contains four statuses: Achievement, Foreclosure, Diffusion identity and Moratorium, and the Self-Liking Self-Competence Scale (SLSC) used for the assessment of self-esteem, consisting of two dimensions: Self-liking and Self-competence. Correlation analysis of four identity statuses and two dimensions of self-esteem showed a positive correlation of Self-competence and Self-liking with Achievement identity, and a negative correlation of the two dimensions of self-esteem with the Foreclosure, Diffusion identity and Moratorium. In order to analyze the influence of identity on self-esteem in more detail, a regression analysis was performed. When it comes to the dimensions of Self-competence and Self-liking, the most significant predictor is Achievement identity, while Moratorium and Foreclosure identity are less impactful predictors, with a negative sign. The results are interpreted in terms of the influence of identity on the level of self-esteem, as well as the importance of support from others, such as parents and peers. Finally, we provide guidelines for further research of the connection between identity, self-esteem and other concepts which play a significant role in the process of developing the concept of self.
Milan Zloković: Observations from proximity
Authors: Zloković Đorđe
Published: July 2021

Serbian architect and professor Milan Zloković developed his procedure of proportioning and modular coordination which he expounded in his papers and demonstrated its results in his significant architectural designs. As his son and witness of events in the life history of Milan Zloković, the Author of this paper, architect and civil engineer, presents his personal observations that may contribute to the understanding of his father's inventive and creative approach to architecture. They refer to his work in architectural design, modular coordination and theory of proportions embedded in his creative and educative activity.
Fervet opus: Milan Zloković and architecture of the city
Authors: Blagojević Ljiljana
Published: July 2021

This paper studies the competition project by the architect Milan Zloković for the Workers Housing Estate of the Kvarner Shipyards in Rijeka,1 1947-8 (Radničko naselje Kvarnerskih brodogradilišta na Rijeci). The principal aim, in addition to presenting this, until now unpublished and largely unknown work of the architect, is to discuss its propositions against the historical and socio-political context of the momentous change of paradigms following the end of World War Two. The paper explores how, through a programmatic shift towards the issues of urbanism, Zloković subtly adapted the design vocabulary of the interwar modern architectural form to the new cultural, political and social circumstances of the postwar years.
Milan Zloković and the problem of proportions in architecture
Authors: Marjanović Minja
Published: July 2021

The main theme of the article is the analysis of the contribution of Milan Zloković within the field of proportions and modular coordination, the themes he has been dealing with during a thirty years long period. Particular emphasis has been placed on Zloković's mathematical-geometrical approach and methods as well as on the conclusions made by him based on the rich builder experience and the results of the detailed analyses in the search for the original proposal of application of the system of proportioning in architecture, preferential numbers and ideal design modules. In this article an attempt will be made also to clarify and bring closer the manner in which Zloković arrived to the conclusions that certain proportional systems were of greater significance for the architectural composition than some other ones and also in which manner they are applied in the designing process, independent of style. Finally, a wider survey of the manner in which Zloković stands out in respect to some of his contemporaries dealing with the same theme has been provided.
The complex nature of potential architectural futures
Authors: Tellios Anastasios
Published: July 2021

Architecture is changing, complying with innovations and technological advances of designing tools and methodologies. Investigating and defining the space, whatsoever, still remains its basic task. Technology available to architects has revolutionized the management of the morphogenetic procedure through new modeling techniques, formal speculation and its enrichment with artistic intuition. It has encouraged architects to experiment on the structure and morphological attributes of natural systems and organic as well as inorganic forms and has seriously affected the correspondent spatial proposals. New concepts, introduced in the architectural discussion and contemporary design-driven research suggesting extraordinary examples of spatial arrangements, speak of a completely new architectural reality. Approached through a holistic and interdisciplinary spectrum and still confined inside Schools of architecture, this new architecture measures its future potential and chances of actual application.
Transitions towards sustainability: Learning from Graz and Freiburg?
Authors: Rohracher Harald , Späth Philipp
Published: July 2021

Innovation policies in the European Union increasingly address so-called 'grand challenges' such as climate change, resource depletion or aging societies. Such transformations go far beyond conventional product or process innovations and require a restructuring of broad socio-technical regimes, e.g. the built environment, systems of mobility, the energy system or the way we organize processes of production and consumption. The distributed nature and specific socio-technical dynamics of large-scale transition processes towards greater sustainability makes cities an important arena of infrastructure transformation and a crucial nexus between different levels of governance and strands of socio-political discourse. The article is based on an analysis of the cases of Graz and Freiburg which since at least two decades have been regarded as 'eco-cities' and particularly advanced in their environmental policies and actions. It will be investigated to which extent these cities were indeed capable of system innovations and fundamental shifts towards the aim of a "sustainable city" and ll then some conclusions will be drawn about the 'room for manoeuvring' of cities within broader sustainability transitions.
Architectural design in a new social order: Re-exploring the reasons for application of spatial standards
Authors: Mihajlov Vladimir
Published: July 2021

The essence of the problem in this paper has been recognized in deterioration of public and residential space in the city, after deregulation of architecture in neoliberal context. This field is marked by increasing lack of rules-especially spatial standards in the architectural practice. Therefore, re-exploring the application of space standards in modern context is needed. The paper, thus, tries to give the answer to the following question: why contemporary architectural practice does not insist on standards for the design and planning any longer? Since the production of space in neoliberal context is powered by mighty individuals who tend to be unique and to manifest power, using the spatial standards in architecture is not welcome. However, NEO-Marxist orientation tries to revive the critical reflection of reality, and its main task is to define the standards and types derived from the spatial context. Different approaches, both theoretical and practical ones are necessary requirements in profession. A clear visibility of method is required for problem solving. The wider population should influence the architectural theory and practice by common set of criteria/standards. Finally, both ideological orientations mentioned are based on those who produce urban space and not on those who speculates with it.

Chemical properties of gypsy moth larvae excrement were analysed with an objective to ascertain their possible impact on forest ecosystem nutrient cycling. The content of nutrition macro-elements in excrements was determined and compared to the content of nutrition macro-elements in oak leaves. The content of nitrogen mineral forms in excrements and group-fractional composition of humus were determined. It was established that during the total defoliation period there had been no loss of nutrient in the ecosystem. The properties of dropped and incorporated excrements are such that in the period of new leave formation after the total defoliation provide a sufficient amount of nutrients for forest trees.

Authors: Tabaković-Tošić Mara , Milosavljević Marija , Simović Nemanja
Published: July 2021

This paper presents the results of the study of the population levels of the gypsy moth in the forests of National Park Đerdap, over the period 1996-2014. The characteristics of three outbreaks (1996-1997, 2003-2005 and 2009-2014) of the gradogenic character were studied. Since these are forest ecosystems of the natural protected areas in which the special rules and measures aimed at the protection from the adverse effect of the wide range of the biotic and abiotic factors are applied, with the special emphasis on the possible, or impossible, use of pesticides, the paper also analyzes the control measures which were taken, i.e. the reduction of the density of the gypsy moth to the normal population level. In addition, the effect of two species of egg parasitoids, as well as of Entomophaga maimaiga and Lymantria dispar multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdMNPV) - pathogenic worms, on the population level of the gypsy moth in some years of the outbreak was studied.

Published: July 2021

The papers presents the results of the monitoring of damages at 130 sample plots in the grid 16x16 kilometers, which has been continuously conducted in Serbia since 2003. The causes of the damages on the trees can be the consequence of the activity of the series of the adverse agents and owning to it the research of the most significant agents of the damages was made. All damages were classified in the paper by species and types of agents. The occurrence of the mass desiccation of oak forests is to a great extent result of the presence of the agents of powdery mildew. As the example of the use of the data from the database, the spatial arrangement of the plots with the pedunculate oak (which is our most sensitive species) was determined, as well as the infection of them by the powdery mildew. The strongest attack was reported during 2005 and 2006, when 79.3 % and 77.6% of the observed trees was infected. The critical month for the occurrence of the intensive infections by the powdery mildew in Serbia is the first half of July, which is important for the creation of the programmes aimed at the protection.
EL abad contra el rey (y los regidores): conflicto de jurisdicciones y ejercicio del poder en Sahagún (1398-1417)
Authors: Reglero de la Fuente Carlos Manuel
Published: July 2021

El gobierno del abad Antón en Sahagún (1398-1417) se caracterizó por un grave conflicto con el concejo y con el rey por el señorío y jurisdicción sobre la villa. Los contendientes utilizaron sus mecanismos de ejercicio del poder en favor de su causa. Si el rey nombró un corregidor, el abad lo excomulgó por no respetar sus derechos. Si el abad presentó los antiguos privilegios de su archivo, el concejo acudió a las sentencias recientes de los reyes. Cuando el concejo recaudaba tributos para seguir los pleitos, el abad excomulgaba a quienes los pagasen. El monasterio decía que su causa era en servicio de Dios, el concejo, que lo era de Dios y el Rey. Todos amenazaban con multas o prisión a los contrarios, buscaban aliados entre otros poderosos en la villa y en la corte del Rey. Se enfrentaron en un conflicto de jurisdicciones que cuestionó los límites del poder regio y eclesiástico al más alto nivel.
