Authors:   Falcuty of Finance- Accounting, Saigon University, Lê Thông Tiến , Lê Chí Đức
Published: October 2023

By the Bayesian method, the arcticle found the negative effect of oil prices on Z-score, a proxy of bank stability. The research dataset included 28 commercial banks from 2011 to 2021. The posterior probabilities support a negative impact of oil prices on the Z-score, with approximately 97%. The empirical results did not find any obvious effect of bank size. Capital adequacy ratio, liquidity ratio, and expense-toincome ratio have a positive effect on Z-score with the probability of over 91%, 96%, and 87%, respectively. Besides, the net interest margin and ratio of non-interest income witnessed negative influence with a probability of over 82% and 97% respectively. Those provided useful statistical evidence on the impact of oil prices as well as internal factors on the stability of banking operations.

Authors: Krstić Snežana , Savić Aleksandar , Kostić Radan
Published: October 2023

The goal of this article is to analyze the concept of system risk. The article reviews many definitions of system risk in various literatures. In addition, the article identifies factors that contribute to raising system risk, spreading infection, and provides a conceptual plan linking these phenomena. System risk can be defined as the risk that shock will result in such a significant materialization (eg macro financial) of imbalances that it expands on a scale that disrupts the functioning of the financial system and to the extent that negatively affects the real economy (eg economic growth). The draft of this plan aims to break down and clearly categorize the processes of accumulation, materialization and spread of system risk. This should facilitate its identification and subsequent mitigation by allocating appropriate preventive macroprudential measures.

Authors: Lazović Ivan , Đorđević Bojan , Lukić Marija
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we compare the predictive power of Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Averages (ARIMA) and Multi-Layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Networks (MLP ANN) model to short-term forecast the monthly returns of Bitcoin cryptocurrency. We evaluate the performance of two models using time series with monthly data from January 2018 to December 2021. The key parameters for the final assessment of prognostic models are the values of Root Mean Square Error-RMSE and Forecast Error-FE. The results of the short-term BTC return forecast showed better properties of composite compared to univariate time series forecasting models, i.e., higher prognostic power of the MLP ANN model compared to the selected ARIMA (1,1,3) model (lower RMSE and FE). The results point to further comparative research of prognostic models and the possibility of forming more complex and hybrid structures of neural network models in order to predict economic phenomena as accurately as possible.
Comparative analysis of the effects of business of public enterprises in Serbia
Authors: Jovović Marina , Prlinčević Gordana , Mušikić Slađana
Published: October 2023

Since the beginning of the transition, Serbia has been trying to include the public sector in that process. Although efforts have been made to restructure public companies, the situation is still unsatisfactory and this sector has remained mostly untransformed and ineffective. The public sector has a high share in the formation of the country's gross social product, has large assets and employs one third of the total number of employees. Although state-owned enterprises have huge assets and have a monopoly position on the market, they generally operate at a loss. Realized losses indicate that the very large resources of the country are poorly managed. Due to the vital importance of state enterprises for the economic development of the country, it is necessary to implement structural reforms and make these enterprises become generators of development.
Entangling text and image in sacred space: Votive mosaic inscriptions from Gradište near Stojnik (Kosmaj, Serbia)
Authors: Špehar Olga
Published: October 2023

On the site Gradište, near Stojnik on the mountain Kosmaj, the remains of a large complex were discovered. It consists of a longitudinal space divided into several units by transversal walls and a rotunda with an apse built into its eastern part. The architectural characteristics of the complex, as well as its overall appearance and dating to the middle of the 4th century, suggest that it was most probably used as a Christian sacred building. Floors covered in mosaics, although very fragmentarily preserved, also testify to this hypothesis. The largest preserved section of the mosaic consists of votive inscriptions intertwined with various geometrical and figural motifs. This paper is primarily dedicated to the research of those votive mosaic inscriptions, although the attention will also be paid to other represented motifs, in order to understand the iconography of the preserved part of the mosaic floor. The position of the mosaics, their votive character, and overall appearance suggest that they were intentionally placed in what was considered to be a liminal space between two parts of the complex, namely in the place that symbolically divided two spaces of various levels of sacrality. Therefore, this paper also examines other important questions in order to properly understand the meaning and importance of vota in the sacral space: who could see and read those inscriptions, how the inscriptions communicated to their 'readers', what kind of information they convey about the donors, etc.
Validation of the PROACTIVE coping inventory on Serbian university students
Authors: Stanojević Dragana , Popović Emilija , Dilparić Branislava
Published: October 2023

The existing literature recognizes the importance of studying proactive coping among university students. There are two different conceptualizations of proactive coping, one by Aspinwall and Taylor (1997) and the other by Greenglass et al. (1999). To date, the Proactive Coping Inventory (Greenglass et al., 1999) is the most frequently used instrument that measures this concept. However, the main aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of a newly developed measure, the PROACTIVE coping inventory (Tian et al., 2023). The translation process of the PROACTIVE coping inventory followed the back-translation procedure. A series of questionnaires were completed online and a total of 171 respondents were included in the final sample. The age of the respondents ranged from 18 to 26; three quarters of them were female. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the Serbian version of the PROACTIVE coping inventory matched the original factor solution (ch2 (df)= 202.350 (129), p= .000, ch2 /df=1.569, CFI= .920, TLI= .908, RMSEA= .053). The active preparation, ineffective preparation, and self-management subscales showed good internal consistency (Cronbach a: .76, .73 and .73 respectively), while the utilization of social resources subscale had a lower but acceptable a= .66. The correlation analysis showed good convergent validity for all subscales except for ineffective preparation. The results obtained, the limitations of the study, and the need for future research have been discussed.

Authors: Samardžić Nemanja , Dopsaj Milivoj , Klisarić Dragan
Published: October 2023

The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of newly designed tests for assessing professional firefighters' physical fitness. A total of 15 healthy and physically active firefighters participated in this study. The following tests were performed: Modified Step Test (MStepT), Fire and Rescue Obstacle Course (VPol), Firefighting Equipment Carry Test (NVOpr, and Dummy Drag Test (VLut). The testing was carried out using a randomized method. There was a 10-minute break between the tests. After a week, retesting was conducted under the same conditions. The results of the regression analysis showed that the value of the adjusted coefficient of determination (adjR2 ) for all tests ranged from 0.90 (90.00%) to 0.98 (98.00%), from MStepT to NVOpr respectively, and the repeatability (reliability) of the tests in relation to the sample used in testing for all variables was highly statistically significant (p = 0.000). A moderate effect size (d = 0.748, 95% CI = 0.162 - 1.314) was found for the VPol variable, while the effect size was found small (d = 0.212 - 0.281) for the variables (MStepT, NVOpr, VLut). The findings demonstrated that the examined tests can be applied in the practice of professional firefighters for the purposes of testing physical fitness related to the job. Methodologically, it is acceptable to conduct tests for firefighters in complete PPE so that the test conditions and workload are similar to the situational conditions during intervention in the field.

English Lavender Essential Oil Laboratory Guidance Document
Authors: Shulha Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

Lavender oil obtained from the flowers of English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Lamiaceae) is widely used in the production of fragrances, cosmetics, food, beverage products, and pharmaceuticals. The essential oil (EO) is used orally, by inhalation as a sleep aid, and can be applied topically for skin treatment. Adulteration of lavender oil is considered to be widespread due to high product demand and lower prices for chemically similar EOs and compounded fragrances. Some of the known adulterants are EOs from spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia Medik.) or lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia Emeric ex Loisel, syn. Lavandula angustifolia Mill. ×Lavandula latifolia Medik.), vegetable oils, glycols, and naturally occurring volatile compounds from lower-cost sources (linalool, linalyl acetate, lavandulyl acetate).1 This Laboratory Guidance Document (LGD) presents a review of various analytical methods used to detect adulteration of EO of English lavender with lavandin, spike lavender, linalool and linalyl acetate-rich EOs, terpenes, and other chemicals. This document can be used in conjunction with the “Adulteration of English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) EO Botanical Adulterants Prevention Bulletin” published by the ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program in 2020.

Published: October 2023

The provocative tale of spiritual freedom from bodily entrapment, as portrayed in Tess Gunty's debut novel, The Rabit Hutch, is a modern masterpiece. Set in the post-industrial context, the decaying city of Vacca Vale city in Indiana is struggling to deal with the impacts of withdrawal of Zorn Automobile Company. The novel presents glimpses of the lives of people residing in an affordable apartment called La Lapinière or, mostly known as the Rabbit Hutch. Gunty uses her versatile narrative technique here through utilising different styles such as the use of epistles, black and white pictures, along with obituary comments to closely knit the stories. The desire of the central protagonist, Blandine Watkins for achieving spiritual freedom through dreaming for a bodily escape shows the intent of the novelist to sketch spirituality as the method of freeing oneself from worldly suffering. The subplots of different situations of people living in different apartments helped in connecting the larger view for changing scenario due to withdrawal of the automobile company. The theme of loneliness and worldly misery is portrayed through the life of Blandine while indicating her belief on the Catholic mystics to escape from this entrapment. The novel beautifully sketches the journey of the characters from loneliness to spirituality based on imaginary prediction while handling the real-life issues and political unrest encountered by the habitants.

Denna rapport är beställd av Gränsregionen Innlandet-Dalarna med syftet att ta fram statistik över gränsregionen Innlandet-Dalarna (inklusive Värmland) med fokus på kompetensförsörjning i gränskommunerna mellan Sverige och Norge. Rapporten innehåller statistik över arbetsmarknaden i gränsområdet med fokus på nutid och utveckling under den senaste tioårsperioden. I den här avslutande delen vänds i stället blicken mot framtiden för att diskutera de trender som väntas påverka framtidens arbetsmarknad och de utmaningar och möjligheter det kan innebära för gränskommunerna i Innlandet-Dalarna-Värmland. Det som styr tillgång och efterfrågan på arbetsmarknaden på lång sikt är främst de större megatrenderna. Men även konjunkturfaktorer och specifika händelser kan ha stor påverkan på kort sikt. Arbetsmarknaden är tätt knuten till den ekonomiska konjunkturen och enskilda händelser som pandemin och Rysslands invasion av Ukraina är exempel på händelser som kan ha stor påverkan på kort sikt. Alla dessa trender och händelser manifesteras olika på olika platser då alla lokala arbetsmarknader har olika förutsättningar som skapar såväl möjligheter som utmaningar. I det här avsnittet tas först konjunkturens roll upp och sedan vänds fokus mot megatrenderna och vilka utmaningar och möjligheter som de kan komma att medföra för gränskommunerna.

В статье представлены результаты исследования диалектики связи между учебной деятельностью, механизмами саморегуляции и девиациями поведения подростка. Приводится теоретическое обоснование роли возрастных противоречий, индивидуально-типологических и индивидуально-психологических особенностей подростка в формировании девиантного поведения. Выдвинута и теоретически обоснована гипотеза о том, что целенаправленное формирование механизмов саморегуляции в учебных ситуациях (на уроках) минимизирует школьную дезадаптацию и вероятность появления девиантного поведения. Определены структурно-психологические составляющие («психические переменные») механизмов саморегуляции, их взаимная обусловленность как предмет формирующего воздействия учителя на подростка в учебной ситуации. Был организован и проведен эксперимент, направленный на доказательство гипотезы. Уроки рассмотрены как конкретные учебные ситуации. Апробированы принципы, конкретные методы и способы формирующего и корректирующего воздействия учителя на отдельные составляющие механизмов саморегуляции подростка. Обосновывается характер и сущность дифференцированного подхода к подросткам с противоположными типами высшей нервной деятельности (ВНД). Приводятся результаты наблюдения за поведением во время и после эксперимента, доказывающие правомерность гипотезы исследования.

The study analyzed gender differentials in the perceived effects of Coronavirus pandemic on farming household food security in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study described the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, determined the gender perceived effects of coronavirus pandemic on food security among the respondents, examined the influence of selected socio-economic characteristics on the perception of the respondents, and examined if there is a significant variation in the perceived effect of the pandemic on food security based on gender. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 72 male and 108 female headed farming households. Primary data used for the study were obtained through a welldesigned questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using percentages, mean, Independent T-test, Chi-square test, and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression model. The results showed that Coronavirus pandemic disrupted farm input supply chain (male-98.6%, female-98.1%), reduced farmers income (male72.2%, female-80.6%), reduced workers’ availability (male-59.7%, female-82.4%) and led to food unavailability in households (male-55.6%, female-76.9%). Gender, age, and years of farming experience were found to significantly influence farmers' perception of the effect of Coronavirus pandemic on food security and, there was significant variation in the perceived effect of the coronavirus pandemic on food security based on gender. Gender mainstreaming should be considered in addressing the effects of future pandemics on farmers in the State by the intervening body.

Muitas são as dificuldades no entendimento da álgebra escolar e existe uma preocupação em torno desta questão, a linguagem algébrica possui elementos abstratos, como os símbolos. O principal objetivo deste artigo é investigar o Algeplan, como recurso didático nas aulas de matemática, para possibilitar a aprendizagem de conceitos algébricos e geométricos. A atividade proposta foi desenvolvida em uma turma de 8º ano, na cidade de Vila Velha/ES. Onde foi feito uma intervenção didática realizada com os estudantes e por meio dos registros foi possível identificar que sentiram facilidade para relacionar os conteúdos teóricos com o Algeplan. Devido à grande dificuldade de absorver os conteúdos, agrupou os alunos em grupos e aplicou-se três atividades, utilizando o Algeplan. As atividades consistiam em: simplificação algébrica, multiplicação entre polinômios e, consequentemente, aprimoramos o conceito de área e perímetro. Por meio das atividades, percebeu-se que os alunos sentiram facilidade para relacionar os conteúdos em sala de aula com o Algeplan. Além de facilitar compreender a simplificação algébrica e a visão do conceito de área e perímetro.

In primary education, the musical training of future teachers with respect to their bodily perception requires a competency review and a curricular rethinking. Music, like any art, must be learned and taught from its global perception, in this sense, the body is a good tool for musical and vocal learning.  Musicians, both teachers and students use the body as a tool of expression and communication, either in performance or in learning, for this reason, it is considered relevant that body expression is a part of musical education and training. Research in Dalcroze pedagogy in recent years shows that, although its activities are still basically those proposed in its beginnings, it is still a methodology that continues to bring improvements in teachers and students. Nevertheless, other studies related to music and the body point out the benefits of corporal expression for musical practice, learning and training, both in teachers and students. This paper gathers recent articles related to body expression and its benefits in music practice and teaching, not only as a result of performance but also for its cognitive benefits. The search for articles was carried out in repositories and databases such as SCOPUS and Web of Sciencie, limiting the year of publication to 2021-22, although some were also collected from other sources and through academic google. Those articles that could provide an answer to the hypothesis were chosen. A brief review of the latest Royal Decrees on Education from LOGSE to LOMLOE was also carried out.  The information was completed through a brief survey with open and closed questions and aimed at experts in the field of teaching and musical interpretation, so that they could assess their perception of corporal expression. This survey was provided by google form and answered anonymously. The results indicate that research on body expression and rhythm is still needed. The conclusions point out that working on body expression in music education and training improves musical practice and other skills that are directly or indirectly related to performance, such as memory, stress, emotions or teamwork. In addition, the experts consider that the subject of corporal expression for musicians should be taught by specialists. Finally, and after the conclusions, a pedagogical proposal is suggested to be taken into account in teacher and student training, taking into account the different educational levels and contexts.

When light propagates through complex medium, such as biological tissue and multimode fiber, refractive index inhomogeneity causes multiple scattering and distortion. This phenomenon is usually seen as obstacles for biomedical imaging, telecommunications, photodynamic therapy and so on. Thus, manipulation of the incident wavefront to compensate for the wavefront distortion due to multiple scattering has been an interdisciplinary subject of interest. Fortunately, wavefront shaping technologies have emerged to provide versatile solutions to minimize the influence of light scattering. By modulating the incident light into a special wavefront with a spatial light modulator, focusing through scattering medium is obtained. To date, several wavefront shaping techniques have been proposed, mainly including transmission matrix inversion, feedback based iterative optimization, and digital optical phase conjugation. Unlike a planar wavefront, the modulated light with special wavefront is transformed into a bright optical focus spot or a desired focus pattern after the scattering medium. Among the proposed approaches, the transmission matrix is considered as a significant tool to characterize a multiple scattering medium with the purpose of manipulating light propagation through it, which contains all the information related to the input field and the scattered output field. In this work, we experimentally measure the transmission matrix of scattering media based on self-reference interference method with a digital micromirror device. Unlike the conventional setup, which divides the incident wavefront into a signal part and reference part, in the self-reference interference method, the reference light is superimposed directly on the signal light to form a new set of input light fields. This self-reference interference method effectively improves the degree of freedom of optical field modulation. Moreover, the intensity ratio between the signal light and the reference light can be adjusted conveniently. In our experiment, this superimposed field is generated by a digital micromirror device with superpixel method. We measure the Hadamard basis and the OAM-basis transmission matrices of scattering medium, respectively. With the measured transmission matrices, single-spot, multi-spot and vortex focusing are achieved after scattering medium, verifying the accuracy of the measured transmission matrices. The strong diagonal presented in the norm of focusing operator also proves the accuracy of the measured transmission matrices. The proposed method may have potential applications in optical imaging and optical communication under scattering environment.

In van der Waals system, the interlayer van der Waals coupling between adjacent atomically thin layers makes the electronic wave function spread on more than one specific layer, turning spatial discrete layer degree of freedom into a quantum mechanical degree of freedom. The coupling of layer degree of freedom with the in-plane center-of-mass motion of electrons forms a nontrivial layer pseudospin structure in momentum space, resulting in various new quantum geometric properties in an extended parameter space, which is unique to the lattice mismatched van der Waals systems. They trigger off a plenty of novel transport and optical effects, linear and nonlinear responses, and offer new pathways towards device applications, becoming the research frontiers of quantum layertronics. This article briefly reviews this emerging research direction, and discusses possible development in the near future based on its crossing with other intensive research fields such as nonlinear electronics, twistronics and chiral electronics.

CO2 is one of the main greenhouse gases. Its emission and accumulation lead to the strengthening of the greenhouse effect, which in turn causes global climate change. Therefore, it is of great significance to obtain the change of CO2 concentration in the atmospheric environment for the study of climate change. In order to meet the requirements of low cost, fast, on-line and accurate measurement of CO2 in atmospheric environment, a CO2 gas concentration measurement system based on Fabry-Perot interferometer is built in this work. The thermal radiation source based on micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology is used as a light source of the Fabry-Perot interferometer system, and the transmission optical path is designed to replace the common refractive optical path. By electrostatically controlling the distance between the two lenses and changing the interference spectrum, the interference peak adjustment of the center wavelength of the 10 nm step is realized, and the absorption spectrum is obtained by scanning. Based on the principle of differential optical absorption spectroscopy, the concentration of CO2 gas is obtained, and the real-time on-line monitoring of CO2 concentration is realized. Using the sample gas calibration system and the commercial photoacoustic spectroscopy multi-gas analyzer to verify the system, the results show that the detection limit of the system is 1.09×10–6, the detection accuracy is ±1.13×10–6, and the measurement error is less than 1%. Real-time online monitoring of atmospheric CO2 has been conducted in Huaibei, a coal city. A comparative observational experiment is performed between this system and a commercial photoacoustic spectroscopy multi-gas analyzer. The two systems show consistent trends in measuring CO2 variations, with a correlation coefficient of R=0.92. It shows that the Fabry-Perot interferometer system can meet the requirement of rapid, convenient and high precision measurement of CO2 concentration in the environment.
