Authors: Vukićević Verica , Ilić Andrijana , Obradović Aleksandra , Milivojčević-Bevc Ivana
Published: January 2025

Introduction/Objective Sepsis is, by definition, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by an inadequate response to infection. As such, sepsis is an emergency medical condition that must be treated in an appropriate and timely manner. Early recognition and treatment improve outcomes. The article aims to present the case of a patient suspected of sepsis at the initial pre-hospital examination, which was later confirmed at the hospital. The objective is to draw attention to the symptomatology that patients can exhibit in cases of sepsis. The patient report was supplemented with data from the literature. Case raport The patient presented was suspected of having sepsis. He was initially examined in the field and transported to the hospital while continuously monitored and treated. At the hospital, the diagnosis of sepsis was confirmed. Conclusion Sepsis should be treated like any other emergency medical condition. Timely recognition and adequate treatment are key to sepsis patients' survival. If treatment is initiated within the first hour of symptoms onset, the survival rate is over 80%. If it is initiated after six hours, the survival rate is only 30%.
An as-yet-unpublished map of Belgrade from the beginning of the 18th century
Authors: Dulović Vladimir
Published: January 2025

Little-known to the professional public, the map of Belgrade from the National Library in Paris with the signature Ge C 10281 brings new information about the appearance of the city, and in particular its residential quarters, at the beginning of the 18th century. By comparing it with other maps and plans from that period, we arrive at the conclusion that it was created between 1719 and the early months of 1721, and that it was made as part of preparations for the construction of town fortifications according to the plans of Major Francois Nicolas Suly. Through a thorough analysis and cross-referencing of data from the corpus of knowledge about Belgrade at that time, we obtained valuable information about several key buildings, about its market areas (čaršija), and about the development of a number of districts. Thus, this map of the city has proved to be one of the most valuable from the era before the baroque reconstruction.
The architectural beginnings of Bogdan Bogdanović: The residential settlement of the Hydrotechnical Institute on the foothills of Avala
Authors: Janakova-Grujić Mare
Published: January 2025

The residential complex of the Hydrotechnical Institute at the foot of Avala mountain represents something of an idiosyncrasy of its era. Through its projection in the early 1950s, as a kind of garden village with a grape-like structure and free disposition, with houses made of hand-hewn stone, its architect Bogdan Bogdanović not only radically stepped out of the practice and theory of residential architecture and urbanism of the time, in opposition to the dogma of Socialist Realism, but manifested through its design a logical continuation and tangible result of his extensive reflections on the new Yugoslav architecture and a more humane society. This early work by Bogdanović stands as a vivid testament to the notions that the builder adhered to throughout his working life; through them, he came to replace mechanization with craftsmanship, ordinariness and typification with imagination, and blind modernization with tradition.
The architecture of the church of St. Demetrius in New Belgrade (1998-2001): A new element of the city's identity
Authors: Aćimović Emilija
Published: January 2025

The Church of Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki (1998-2001) was the first religious building to be constructed within the modern urban landscape of New Belgrade. The time of its creation was marked by a renewal of Orthodox Christian identity and the need for a greater number of new parish churches, especially within settlements built devoid of them during Socialist Yugoslavia. As the first such edifice in New Belgrade, the Church of St. Demetrius stood out not only for its artistic qualities, but also for changing the identity of the area. Communicating with the environment and the zeitgeist, as well as the rich Serbian sacral tradition, the project of architect Nebojša Popović (1950-1998) has been interpreted as a major threshold of contemporary church architecture in Serbia. Largely due to its visual, conceptual and symbolic impact, the church is undeniably deserving of historiographical attention.
The Belgrade opus of architect Aleksandar Stjepanović: Residential architecture (1961-1992)
Authors: Banković Angelina
Published: January 2025

The paper presents the Belgrade realizations of Aleksandar Stjepanović in the field of residential architecture. Although he is among the most prominent creators of the second half of the 20th century, especially in the field of residential architecture, to date no research has been published that presents Stjepanović's complete opus. Therefore, the goal of this work is to identify and briefly present all realized residential buildings on which the architect worked, both independently and as part of a team, in a single place and in accordance with the currently available data. The paper was written based on the results of previous research, technical documentation preserved in protection institutions, archives of city municipalities, and in the documentation of the architect himself, on the basis of conversations with him, as well as field research. A short biography of the architect is given, followed by a summation of the most significant features of residential construction during the time of his activity. Following this, residential buildings that have been realized in Belgrade for which he was engaged in the design process are presented, with a more detailed analysis in relation to both the form and the internal organization of individual housing units also being provided.
Ill-treatment and torture by police officers from the perspective of the public prosecutor
Authors: Krstić Gordana
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes the criminal offense of ill-treatment and torture in cases where there are grounds for suspicion that it was committed by police officers. According to the European Convention on Human Rights, the prohibition of torture is an inviolable and absolute right and states have not only a positive obligation to implement norms on the prohibition of torture in their legislation, but also a negative obligation to refrain from applying any form of abuse, but also a procedural obligation to conduct an effective, adequate and urgent investigation. In the domestic legal system, the investigation is conducted by the public prosecutor. The key factors for the efficiency of the public prosecutor in the criminal proceedings against the accused police officers include the existence of functional cooperation and coordination between the public prosecutor and the unit responsible for internal police control, quickly collecting various types of evidence, and above all documentation, video recording and declarations of all involved persons. The investigation should lead to the identification of suspects, the determination of the sequence of circumstances that preceded a certain criminal event, excluding any form of passive behavior. However, in addition to effectiveness, adequacy and urgency in order to achieve the goals of the investigation, it is necessary to ensure independence and the public prosecutors who conduct the investigation must have a neutral and independent attitude in relation to the suspected police officers. Regardless of the numerous challenges faced by public prosecutors during proceedings in cases of ill-treatment and torture against police officers, their effective and decisive actions have crucial role in solving these type of cases and in strengthening of legal certainty in the sphere of application of Article 3 of the Convention, and even modest advances in a positive sense are reflected in the suppression of torture.
Parenting style and educational level of talented students' parents
Authors: Matejević Marina , Đorđević Marija
Published: January 2025

The aim of the research was to determine the parenting style and education level of parents of talented students. The subjects of the research were high school art students and art faculty students, as well as those from specialized classes of grammar schools for the gifted in mathematics, physics, and informatics. The authoritative style was found to be the most common, but also warm-restrictive and permissive, which points to warm-directive parenting. The mothers of musically talented students and fathers of students talented in computer science have a slightly more evident warm-restrictive style compared to the other groups, according to assessments of students. Finally, the mothers of talented students have a higher level of education than students' fathers. These results indicates the importance of mothers' education for talent development. The relatively even distribution of warm parenting styles indicates the importance of parents' emotional relationship and warm accepting upbringing for the development of creativity, but also imposes the question of parental consistency, which further implies the need for the pedagogical education of parents.

At the initial stage, Al-generated works were categorized as computer-assisted or computer-propelled works, therefore, copyright/patent rights were conferred on the individuals or persons who utilized Al as a tool. In other words, authorship/inventorship under the copyright and patent law is viewed to be human-centric because authorship/inventorship is reserved for the natural human person. Artificial Intelligence’s influence has permeated all sectors of human endeavors - science, technology, academia, politics, business, law, economics and other perspectives. Past experience has vividly illustrated that even a minimal alteration or amendment to intellectual property legislation will reflect significantly on the transformative and innovative network of interconnected systems. In many countries of the world, Al-generated inventions devoid of human impact are not eligible for patent law because they fail the test of the non-obvious requirement, even though Artificial Intelligence is viewed as a person with ‘skills in the art‘. This article focuses on the conceptual and legal issues that arise in the evolution and revolution of AI-generated works. The writers adopt a doctrinal approach, citing primary and secondary sources in the thematic study of AI and IP in Uganda, whilst drawing comparative analysis from other developed economies such as the US, UK and China. In conclusion, the authors advocate exploring the public domain option, trade secret and other contractual arrangements for inventors and IP owners, due to the fact that Uganda and other developing countries are primarily technology users. The article recommends policy changes

Importance of the role of the three pillars in overcoming social conflicts between villages in terms of rights law
Authors: Aryesam Primus
Published: January 2025

Inter-village conflict is a long-standing issue in Indonesia in general and the Tanimbar Islands district of Maluku province in particular.   This is due to the issue of communal rights of customary law communities, which until now has not been well regulated and opens up opportunities for territorial disputes because the area has abundant natural resource potential. The role of the three pillars, namely the government, religious institutions and customary institutions in protecting their citizens from the threat of conflict has not been well implemented, although this is a responsibility that needs to be carried out. This research aims to find out the role of the three pillars in organising social conflicts as a fulfilment of citizens' human rights, while also knowing how the necessary supervision mechanism in tackling social conflicts. The method used is normative legal research by examining laws and regulations as a benchmark for human behaviour. The results of this study show that the role of the three pillars as regulated in statutory provisions needs serious attention as a form of responsibility to fulfil the right to a safe life, as well as the need for a supervisory mechanism with good coordination to encourage the village government, in this case the village consultative body, to form relevant regulations, and ensure that the communal rights of indigenous peoples do not cause problems, so that groups that are vulnerable to violations of their human rights due to social conflict can be resolved.

Authors:   PG and Research Department of Biochemistry, St.Joseph's College of Arts and Science, (Autonomous), Cuddalore-607001, Tamil Nadu, India, Antonysamy Lawrance
Published: January 2025

Drug delivery technologies have been proven to improve treatment outcomes in many ways by enriching curative efficacy, reducing toxicity, increasing patient compliance and enabling entirely new type of medical treatments. In this study, keratin nanoparticles (KNPs) were prepared from chicken feathers and loaded with Nigella sativa seed extract (NSSE-KNPs) by adsorption method using doubled distilled water without using cross linkers, organic solvents and surfactants. The prepared KNPs and NSSE-KNPs were characterized by Dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction study (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Encapsulation efficiency (EE) and loading capacity (LC) of NSSE-KNPs was found to be 82% and 70 % respectively. The drug release profile showed that KNPs exhibited slight difference in both acidic (pH 4.4) and basic (pH 7.4) environment. The prepared water-based KNPs and NSSE-KNPs also exhibited narrow PDI value and good negative zeta potential. The morphology of the keratin nanoparticles and Nigella sativa loaded keratin nanoparticles showed solid spheres, spherical and smooth shape distribution. The FTIR spectra revealed the possible hydrogen bonding formation after addition Nigella sativa seed extract to the keratin nanoparticles. In XRD analysis, both KNPs and NSSE-KNPs retained its chemical structure and crystallinity. The antibacterial effect was also observed for NSSE-KNPs against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Thus, the keratin nanoparticles loaded NSSE extract emerged as a potential candidate for future cancer treatment.

Authors: Almeida Monge Elka Jennifer , Calderón Cisneros Juan Tarquino , Zea Moreira Edmundo Yanguely , Lindao Gómez Gladys Eugenia
Published: January 2025

El presente estudio analiza comparativamente la calidad educativa en Ecuador y Argentina, considerando factores como políticas públicas, evaluación docente y modelos de acreditación. La calidad educativa es un concepto multidimensional que incluye tanto la eficiencia y productividad como el desarrollo crítico y metacognitivo del estudiante. En Ecuador, la Constitución reconoce la educación como un derecho y el Estado ha implementado evaluaciones docentes obligatorias desde 2009, con incentivos para el desempeño destacado. No obstante, la resistencia docente ha sido un desafío para su implementación. La calidad educativa en Ecuador también se ve influenciada por factores como la equidad, la pertinencia cultural y la mejora continua de la educación superior mediante regulaciones específicas. En Argentina, la Ley de Educación Superior de 1995 estableció la Comisión Nacional de Evaluación y Acreditación Universitaria (CONEAU), encargada de supervisar la calidad educativa. A diferencia de Ecuador, Argentina cuenta con un sistema más consolidado de evaluación institucional, autonomía universitaria y financiamiento para proyectos de mejora a través de programas como el FOMEC. Este ha permitido el desarrollo de infraestructura, formación docente y bibliotecas nacionales. Ambos países enfrentan retos en la democratización del acceso a la educación superior y la optimización de la gestión académica. Sin embargo, Argentina ha logrado una mayor estabilidad en sus mecanismos de aseguramiento de calidad, mientras que Ecuador sigue en un proceso de consolidación. La comparación entre ambos sistemas permite identificar áreas de mejora y oportunidades de aprendizaje mutuo para fortalecer la educación en la región.

Key issues include inefficiencies in collection and distribution mechanisms, lack of public trust, and insufficient legal and regulatory frameworks. These factors limit the effectiveness of ZIS in reaching vulnerable populations and maximizing their potential impact. The study concludes that further reforms are essential to enhance the role of ZIS in Egypt's socioeconomic development. Specifically, improvements in transparency, accountability, and integration with modern financial systems are necessary to align ZIS practices with contemporary realities. Implications: The findings have implications for policymakers, Islamic scholars, and financial institutions, emphasizing the need to create a sustainable and equitable framework for ZIS that addresses pressing issues such as poverty and inequality. Novelty: This research offers a novel contribution by integrating historical, legal, and social perspectives into the analysis of ZIS systems in Egypt, providing a comprehensive understanding of their development and contemporary challenges. It underscores the importance of adapting Islamic financial practices to meet modern demands, paving the way for future research on optimizing ZIS for social justice and economic growth in diverse contexts.

Authors: Abdul Ghani al-Jalal Ismail
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study examines the splendour and divine mastery reflected in the creation of the camel, highlighting its unique design and functionality as evidence of Allah’s signs in creation. The research aims to deepen understanding of the camel’s exceptional features from both theological and scientific perspectives, emphasizing its role in Islamic teachings as a symbol of reflection on God’s power. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework combines Quranic verses and hadiths related to creation with modern scientific perspectives on the camel’s biological and ecological adaptations. Literature Review: The literature review encompasses previous studies that discuss the interconnection between the wonders of nature and the reinforcement of faith. Methods: The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating textual analysis of Islamic sources with modern scientific research on the physiology and ecology of camels. The primary issue addressed is the lack of awareness among contemporary audiences about the profound lessons embedded in the natural world, particularly in the camel’s unique design. Results: The findings reveal that the camel’s physiological characteristics—such as its ability to endure extreme desert conditions, extraordinary water retention mechanisms, and efficient energy usage—serve as clear evidence of the deliberate and intricate design by the Creator. Implications: The study underscores the importance of reflecting on such creations to strengthen faith, foster gratitude, and inspire a harmonious relationship with nature. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its holistic approach, which integrates Islamic theology with modern science to demonstrate the divine wisdom underlying the natural world.

Background: This research aims to analyse the arrangements related to the formation of the Village RKP Compilation Team as stipulated in Permendagri 114/2014 and Permendesa PDTT 21/2020 and to analyse legal harmonisation efforts related to conflicts between Permendagri 114/2014 and Permendesa PDTT 21/2020. Methods: This research is a normative legal research that prioritises conceptual and statutory approaches. Findings: The results confirm that the authority to form the Village RKP Compilation Team has moved to the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration so that regulations from the ministry are prioritised for use. Conclusion: The resolution of norm conflicts between Permendagri 114/2014 and Permendesa PDTT 21/2020 regarding the formation of the Village RKP Compilation Team can be done by harmonising regulations using the principle of preference, specifically the principle of lex superior derogate legi inferiori in harmonising authority in village development and the principle of lex posterior derogate legi priori in harmonising regulations on the formation of the Village RKP Compilation Team. Novelty/Originality of this article: Through harmonisation using the principle of preference, the regulation on the formation of the Village RKP Compilation Team regulated by Permendesa PDTT 21/2020 takes precedence over its use.

Published: January 2025

Background: As a country with a large agricultural sector, using fertilizers is an essential factor. Inorganic fertilizers such as KNO3 are an option, but excessive use of fertilizers results in the accumulation of inorganic residues. The use of fertilizers that can release controlled nutrients is very necessary, one of which is by encapsulating with GO. Methods: Coconut shell waste is used as the primary material for making GO which is synthesized by the Hummer method with variations in the mass of coconut shell graphite, the characterization of graphene oxide was Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Findings: This research aims to synthesize GO and determine its characteristics as an encapsulation of KNO3 fertilizer. Conclusion: The FTIR results obtained in this research detected O-H bonds, C-H bonds, and C = C bonds. In TEM characterization, thin morphology results were obtained, indicating an oxidation process in the formation of graphene oxide. The AAS showed that the release of KNO3 from graphene oxide was maximum after 8 hours with a percentage of 93.8%. This fertilizer will be used to solve the problem of low plant absorption of macronutrients contained in fertilizers. Novelty/Originality of this article: Encapsulating KNO₃ fertilizer using GO to control nutrient release is a novel approach. This technique addresses the challenge of nutrient overuse and minimizes the environmental impact of inorganic fertilizers.
The association between inclusive leadership and pro-social rule breaking: Gender as moderator
Authors: Purwaningtias Gina , Purba Debora Eflina
Published: January 2025

Background: This study explores the relationship between inclusive leadership and pro-social rule breaking (PSRB), with gender as a moderating factor. Drawing on role theory, it posits that women and men may exhibit different behaviors in work contexts. While women are typically linked with communal, socially oriented behaviors, men tend to show agentic, achievement-focused behaviors. This difference may influence how men and women respond to inclusive leadership in the workplace, including their likelihood of engaging in PSRB. Methods: The study involved employees from hospitality companies in Indonesia (N = 193). Data were collected through an online survey, and the relationships were analyzed using Hayes' PROCESS macro on SPSS software. Findings: Inclusive leadership was found to have a negative correlation with PSRB. Gender moderated this relationship, with a significant negative correlation between inclusive leadership and PSRB in male participants, and a positive but non-significant correlation in female participants. Conclusion: The findings suggest that inclusive leadership influences PSRB differently based on gender, with men showing a stronger negative association. This highlights the need to consider gender when studying leadership styles and their impact on workplace behavior. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of gender in the relationship between inclusive leadership and PSRB, offering insights into how inclusive leadership can differently affect men and women in the workplace.
Implementation of the social assistance program for people with severe disabilities (ASPDB): A disability and social inclusion perspective
Authors: Daulay Lia Apriolita
Published: January 2025

Background: The assumption that disability is a disgrace, curse and shame makes families not open about their family members who have disabilities. In addition, the assessment of society that considers people with disabilities to be unproductive and unable to carry out tasks and responsibilities because of their physical disabilities. Often people with disabilities are equated with sick people, helpless, so they do not need to be given education and work, just pitied and cared for for their survival. Methods: This research approach is a qualitative approach, namely by reviewing data that begins with reviewing all available data from various data sources that have been collected, studying data, reviewing, compiling it into a unit. Findings: People with disabilities face both physical and mental limitations, compounded by a lack of support from their families and communities. This isolation leads to feelings of inferiority, social difficulties, and limited participation in life’s activities. Their social roles are often hindered, resulting in further marginalization. Conclusion: Based on data from the results of the research conducted, the Implementation of the Social Assistance Program for People with Severe Disabilities (ASPDB) in Harjosari II Village has not been running well. Of the four variables of George C. Edward III's Implementation Theory, only variable (3) disposition has been running well. While variables (1) communication (2) resources and (4) bureaucratic structure have not been running well. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study offers a unique perspective on the challenges in implementing the Social Assistance Program for People with Severe Disabilities (ASPDB) in Harjosari II Village, using George C. Edward III's Implementation Theory. It highlights issues in communication, resources, and bureaucratic structure, contributing valuable insights for improving disability support programs.
Development and Characterization of Gliclazide Solid Dispersion Using Mixed Solvency Concept

Published: January 2025

Gliclazide, an oral hypoglycaemic drug, has poor aqueous solubility, limiting its oral bioavailability to 50%. This research study aimed to explore the use of mixed solvency techniques to enhance the solubility of a poorly water-soluble drug. The drug was identified and characterized using spectrophotometric analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The drug was found to be gliclazide, with an aqueous solubility of 0.78 mg/ml. The drug-solubilizers interference study showed no interference in UV spectrophotometric analysis due to excipients. The equilibrium solubility of gliclazide in different solvents was determined using the excess solute method. The highest increase in solubility was found in blend F (30%CP+5%SC+5%SA), but this had a higher concentration of sodium caprylate. Blend Q (10%CP+5%βCD+2.5%SA+2.5%SC) showed a higher increase in solubility, making it suitable for solid dispersion formation. The study concluded that the solubility of gliclazide increases synergistically by mixed solvency. Solid dispersions showed a good drug release profile and were stable at all temperatures and storage conditions.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi penerapan paradigma Whole of Government (WoG) dalam program Perpustakaan Keliling yang dilaksanakan oleh Dinas Perpustakaan dan Kearsipan Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Data primer diperoleh melalui pengamatan selama pelaksanaan magang di Dinas Perpustakaan dan Kearsipan Kabupaten Sidoarjo, serta wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan Kepala Dinas dan pihak terkait. Data sekunder dikumpulkan melalui studi pustaka dari literatur yang relevan. Teknik analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman, yang melibatkan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keenam aspek WoG—koordinasi antar organisasi, sharing informasi, kapasitas organisasi, fleksibilitas organisasi, sarana dan prasarana, serta penganggaran—telah diterapkan dalam program Perpustakaan Keliling. Koordinasi yang baik dengan sekolah dan desa memastikan pelaksanaan program yang efektif, sementara komunikasi internal dan eksternal meningkatkan efisiensi operasional. Kapasitas organisasi didukung oleh SDM yang kompeten dan pelatihan khusus, sedangkan fleksibilitas organisasi diwujudkan melalui gaya kepemimpinan berbagi yang mendorong inovasi dan kolaborasi. Namun, kendala ditemukan pada aspek prasarana, seperti akses jalan dan koneksi internet di daerah terpencil, yang memengaruhi optimalisasi layanan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penerapan WoG mendukung keberhasilan program Perpustakaan Keliling dalam meningkatkan literasi masyarakat, meskipun masih terdapat tantangan teknis yang perlu diatasi. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi teoritis dan praktis dalam pengelolaan program literasi berbasis komunitas dengan pendekatan WoG.
