Published: February 2025

This study investigates the influence of product quality and service quality on customer satisfaction at Istiqomah Mart. The research adopts a quantitative approach using survey methods, with 96 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and the analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis to determine the relationship between variables. The results indicate that both product quality and service quality have a significant positive impact on customer satisfaction. High-quality products and good service encourage customer trust and loyalty, leading to repeat purchases.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the influence of human resource quality, work environment, and performance allowances on work motivation, which impacts employee performance at PT Tasindo Mandiri Indonesia. The research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive and associative design. Data were collected through a survey using questionnaires distributed to employees, and data analysis was conducted using Smart PLS software. The results indicate that the work environment and performance allowances have a positive and significant impact on employee motivation and performance. A comfortable and harmonious work environment enhances work enthusiasm, while adequate performance allowances serve as a rewarding factor that boosts productivity. Conversely, human resource quality has a positive but insignificant influence on motivation and performance, suggesting that other factors such as managerial recognition and work-life balance play a more dominant role in determining productivity.

Analysis of patients with systemic diseases and their prevalence of periodontal disease in the clinic of the Specialty of Periodontics at the School of Dentistry of the Universidad Abierta Interamericana
Authors: Forciniti Estefanía
Published: February 2025

Periodontal diseases, especially periodontitis, were associated with systemic and social factors. Recent studies showed their relationship with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis and smoking, with diabetes being a significant factor that aggravated the progression and severity of periodontitis. The prevalence of severe periodontitis increased between 30 and 40 years of age and remained stable at older ages. Factors such as socioeconomic level, habits such as smoking and poor oral hygiene, and systemic conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, played a determining role in the progression of this pathology.Smoking represented a critical risk, associated with greater severity and incidence of periodontitis. Abandoning this habit significantly reduced the risk. Likewise, people with diabetes had a 2.6 to 3 times higher risk of developing periodontitis, with a more aggressive progression. The studies also suggested a relationship between periodontal disease and hypertension, although further research was needed to establish causality.The data analyzed revealed that prevalence varied with age, habits and systemic conditions. Although factors such as lifestyle and socioeconomic status were not directly associated with systemic pathologies, they significantly influenced periodontal health. It was concluded that these patients required personalized treatment and follow-up to prevent complications. It was essential to standardize evaluation and diagnostic methods to improve the understanding and management of this disease

Antibiotherapy in the treatment of diseases affecting the periodontium. Bibliographic review
Authors: Morocho Segarra Cristian Vicente , Tobar Peñaherrera Adriana Nicole , Moya Salazar Myriam Ernestina
Published: February 2025

An ideal antimicrobial for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases should be specific for key pathogens, non-toxic, and capable of reaching effective concentrations in periodontal tissues. The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanisms of action and clinical use of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of lesions affecting periodontal tissues. An exhaustive search was conducted in scientific databases, selecting articles published between 2019 and 2024 that met defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, allowing the analysis of 15 relevant studies. The results highlight that the combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole achieves significant improvements in periodontal probing depth, clinical attachment level, and bleeding on probing, although it is not superior to surgical treatments with the same agents. Systemic antibiotics offer benefits in cases of chronic and aggressive periodontitis, but their impact on systemic inflammatory biomarkers is limited. Additionally, the use of local antibiotics in recurrent cases can be effective and minimize the adverse effects associated with systemic administration. The study's conclusions emphasize that mechanical treatments are essential and that antimicrobial agents should be used as adjuncts based on microbiological analysis. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics is associated with bacterial resistance, reinforcing the need for well-defined protocols to maximize clinical benefits

In this context, the objective of the research has been aimed at evaluating minimally invasive techniques in comparison with open surgical techniques. To this end, the terms of reduction of postoperative complications in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis were analyzed. To achieve this goal, a review of clinical studies comparing minimally invasive necrosectomy and percutaneous drainage with traditional open surgical techniques was conducted. The methodology included a comparative analysis of complication rates, recovery times, and mortality rates associated with each approach. The results highlighted that minimally invasive techniques were associated with a lower incidence of postoperative complications, such as infections and pancreatic fistulas. Additionally, patients undergoing these methods showed a reduced hospital stay and faster recovery compared to those who received open surgical treatment. Therefore, it is concluded that minimally invasive techniques are not only safer, but also more effective in the management of necrotizing pancreatitis. Consequently, it is suggested to continue research to optimize the indications for each technique and explore new technologies that further improve treatment results

Ipak, tokom vekova, predstavničke demokratije u Evropi su se menjale, pa samim tim i sadržina koncepta podele vlasti. Ovo posebno, imajući u vidu pojavu i razvoj političkih stranaka, opet pretežno u Evropi. S obzirom na to, u radu se prvo ukazuje na shvatanja o podeli vlasti, a zatim i na kritička razmišljanja povodom nje. Zatim, prikazuje se nužna pojava i razvoj političkih stranaka, te njihov uticaj na načelo podele vlasti. Na kraju, radi pravilnijeg shvatanja samog pojma, zaključuje se da je neophodno da se uvaži kako pravna, tako i politička dimenzija podele vlasti, te da se usvoji pojam pravno-politička podela vlasti. U tom smislu se navedena istraživanja primenjuju na institut raspuštanja parlamenta, te se konstatuje i njegovo menjanje na evropskom kontinentu. Naime, ovaj institut više ne služi konačnom rešavanju odnosa između zakonodavne i izvršne vlasti, već konačnom rešavanju odnosa između pozicije i opozicije.
EU approach towards violence against women and domestic violence – new EU Directive
Authors: Gasmi Gordana
Published: February 2025

European Union (EU) approach towards violence against women and domestic violence is analyzed through interconnection with principles of gender equality and nondiscrimination. The combination of gender-based discrimination and gender inequality with other forms of discrimination (economic, political, etc.) very often result in specific forms of violence against women. EU acceded the Istanbul Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence of the Council of Europe in June 2023, which was spiritus movens for the adoption of the new EU Directive in this field. Achievements and shortcomings of this Directive are presented, as well as its significance within existing relevant EU primary and secondary legislation. New legislation criminalizes the following offences across the EU: female genital mutilation, forced marriage, non-consensual sharing of intimate images, cyber stalking, cyber harassment and cyber incitement to hatred or violence. However, criminalization of rape is lacking due to the absence of agreement of the constitutional element of sexual consent. Instead, prevention of rape and raising awareness of the importance of central role of consent are included. Taking into account the problem of secondary victimization, the Directive regulates rules on the measures of assistance and protection to victims that are to be secured by Member States, who are obliged to implement Directive in three years period. Directive gains special significance when taking into account relevant official data on violence against women in the EU. This Directive is to be considered the step forward in the direction of realization of gender equality de facto.
Direktiva EU o pravu na popravku iz juna 2024. godine: zašto nam je potrebna pravna zaštita ovog prava imperativnim pravnim normama
Authors: Jovičić Katarina
Published: February 2025

Predmet ovog rada je analiza određenih trgovački praksi koje su se razvile u uslovima globalnog tržišta i hiperprodukcije roba, a koje su bitno uticale na uviđanje opravdanosti potrebe da se imperativnim pravnim normama zaštiti pravo potrošača na popravku proizvoda. Ovo pravo se nijednim pravnim dokumentom ne dovodi u pitanje, ali ga faktički osporavaju trgovci koji primenjuju određene trgovačke prakse sa ciljem da ubede potrošače da investiraju u kupovinu nove stvari umesto u popravku neispravne. Interes trgovaca da tako postupaju je ostvarenje veće zarade, ali to nije i interes potrošača zato što oni, kupujući nove proizvode, troše više nego što je neophodno i time smanjuju svoj budžet za zadovoljenje nekih drugih potreba. Pored toga, zbog nabavke novog proizvoda se prevremeno bacaju stvari koje nisu popravljene, a taj otpad ugrožava životnu sredinu. U radu se ukazuje na uobičajene trgovačke prakse koje dovode do ovih i drugih društveno nepoželjnih posledica. Zaključuje se da je Direktiva EU o pravu na popravku, koja je usvojena u junu 2024. godine, objektivno bila neophodna mera koja može osigurati bolju zaštitu potrošača. Njena uspešna primena može doprineti i boljoj zaštiti životne sredine, kao i zaštiti prava konkurencije koje se tim praksama, takođe, narušava.
Podsticaj lobiranja u zakonskoj formi kao prepreka korupciji
Authors: Sporea Danijel
Published: February 2025

Lobiranje kao aktivnost kod mnogih ljudi često biva percipirano kao „loša pojava” jer se poistovećuje sa podmićivanjem, korupcijom, trgovinom uticaja od strane onih koji imaju moć da deluju u političkom društvu. Zapravo, naješće se sve navedene pojave doživljavaju kao sinonimi. Međutim, istraživanja sa više aspekata pokazuju da lobiranje i korupcija nisu ista stvar. U poslednje dve decenije ova tema postaje veoma značajna na prostoru Evrope, pogotovo u bivšim komunističkim zemljama centralne i istočne Evrope (danas većine članica EU), kao i zapadnog Balkana. Pri tome su pogledi i interesovanja usmereni na uređenost ove aktivnosti u jednoj zakonsko-pravnoj regulativi, iako lobiranje kao delatnost na nivou EU ima deregulativni karakter. No, primarno pitanje jeste da li lobiranje, posebno u kontekstu njegove zakonske regularnosti, može biti efikasan alat u smanjenju korupcije, ili pak i njegova neregularnost ima potencijala da smanji korupciju. U radu ćemo pokušati da ukažemo na to da lobiranje u priznatoj zakonskoj formi umnogome postaje protivteža korupciji. Njegova regularnost u pravno-zakonskoj proceduri, kroz veći stepen transparentnosti u kanalima uticaja, pospešuje aktere na veću odgovornost. Osim što postaje poželjnije od korupcije, takođe doprinosi jednom prosperitetnom i zdravom razvitku društva, dok sa druge strane daje prostor širem građanstvu da ovu delatnost ne poistovećuje sa korupcijom. Stoga, smatramo da lobiranje u zakonski uređenoj formi ima snagu da suzbije korupciju.
Potencijali i rizici veštačke inteligencije unutar pravnog okvira Evropske unije
Authors: Račić Stefan
Published: February 2025

Cilj rada je da na osnovu izložene literature proceni koji su potencijali i rizici primene tehnologije industrije 4.0 poput veštačke inteligencije. Dok je primena moguća u raznim delovima, kako privrede, tako i drugih oblasti detaljni opis procesa aplikacije će se fokusirati na zdravstvo i radnu snagu. Opisaće se trenutno stanje regulatornog okvira Evropske unije povodom veštačke inteligencije i navesti neka rešenja za negativne uticaje koji proizlaze iz upotrebe novih tehnologija.
Svojom funkcijom predviđanja veštačka inteligencija unapređuje proces generisanja i testiranja hipoteza, kao i njihove implementacije. To je omogućilo da skrining, dijagnoza i tretman pacijenata postane mnogo pouzdaniji, detaljniji i brži. Biće značajnih izazova vezanih za zamenu radne snage automatizacijom i veštačkom inteligencijom, ali značajne kulturne promene unutar organizacija i eliminisanje manje izazovnih poslova efekat supstitucije će se negirati.
