The Design of a Real-Scale Steel Moment-Resisting Frame for Pseudo-Dynamic Earthquake Testing
Authors: Francavilla Antonella B. , Latour Massimo , Rizzano Gianvittorio
Published: August 2020

Background:

Forthe reliable prediction of the non-linear response of structures, severe seismic events have proven to be a challenging task. Although much non-linear analysis software exists, the accuracy of the results depends on the assumptions made in the characterization of the members. Typically, the analytical models are calibrated using experimental observations. With this scope, experimental research remains the most reliable mean for the assessment of the seismic performance of structures, and it is crucial to target the development of new analytical models and design methods.

Objective:

Quasi-static tests can provide information on the non-linear behaviour of subassemblies, but it is often difficult to relate the imposed force or displacement histories to those that might occur during an earthquake. The pseudo-dynamic method combines an on-line computer simulation with experimental information about the tested structure, providing the application of realistic dynamic response histories. In this paper, the preliminary analysis and the design of a pseudo-dynamic testing facility for the experimental study of a real scale two storeys-two bays steel MRF, with classical and innovative joint details, are shown.

Methods:

Pushover and Incremental Dynamic Analyses carried out with Seismostruct software estimate the forces and displacements expected at each storey for the selected ground motions. These analyses have been performed by varying the structural detail of the beam-to-column connections.

Results / Conclusion:

In this paper, the analytical prediction of the performance of two bays-two storeys steel frames equipped with different solutions of beam-to-column joints is focused. Based on the performed analyses, it has been recognized that steel frames with partial strength joints can provide satisfactory performance under severe seismic actions provided that the joints are adequately designed.
Evaluating Asthma Mobile Apps to Improve Asthma Self-Management: User Ratings and Sentiment Analysis of Publicly Available Apps
Authors: Camacho-Rivera Marlene , Vo Huy , Huang Xueqi , Lau Julia , Lawal Adeola , Kawaguchi Akira
Published: August 2020

Background

The development and use of mobile health (mHealth) apps for asthma management have risen dramatically over the past two decades. Asthma apps vary widely in their content and features; however, prior research has rarely examined preferences of users of publicly available apps.

Objective

The goals of this study were to provide a descriptive overview of asthma mobile apps that are publicly available and to assess the usability of asthma apps currently available on the market to identify content and features of apps associated with positive and negative user ratings.

Methods

Reviews were collected on June 23, 2020, and included publicly posted reviews until June 21, 2020. To characterize features associated with high or low app ratings, we first dichotomized the average user rating of the asthma app into 2 categories: a high average rating and a low average rating. Asthma apps with average ratings of 4 and above were categorized as having a high average rating. Asthma apps with average ratings of less than 4 were categorized as having a low average rating. For the sentiment analysis, we modeled both 2-word (bi-gram) and 3-word (tri-gram) phrases which commonly appeared across highly rated and lowly rated apps.

Results

Of the 10 apps that met the inclusion criteria, a total of 373 reviews were examined across all apps. Among apps reviewed, 53.4% (199/373) received high ratings (average ratings of 4 or 5) and 47.2% (176/373) received low ratings (average ratings of 3 or less). The number of ratings across all apps ranged from 188 (AsthmaMD) to 10 (My Asthma App); 30% (3/10) of apps were available on both Android and iOS. From the sentiment analysis, key features of asthma management that were common among highly rated apps included the tracking of peak flow readings (n=48), asthma symptom monitoring (n=11), and action plans (n=10). Key features related to functionality that were common among highly rated apps included ease of use (n=5). Users most commonly reported loss of data (n=14) and crashing of app (n=12) as functionality issues among poorly rated asthma apps.

Conclusions

Our study results demonstrate that asthma app quality, maintenance, and updates vary widely across apps and platforms. These findings may call into question the long-term engagement with asthma apps, a crucial factor for determining their potential to improve asthma self-management and asthma clinical outcomes.

Published: August 2020

Background

Accurately assessing the regional activity of diseases such as COVID-19 is important in guiding public health interventions. Leveraging electronic health records (EHRs) to monitor outpatient clinical encounters may lead to the identification of emerging outbreaks.

Objective

The aim of this study is to investigate whether excess visits where the word “cough” was present in the EHR reason for visit, and hospitalizations with acute respiratory failure were more frequent from December 2019 to February 2020 compared with the preceding 5 years.

Methods

A retrospective observational cohort was identified from a large US health system with 3 hospitals, over 180 clinics, and 2.5 million patient encounters annually. Data from patient encounters from July 1, 2014, to February 29, 2020, were included. Seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time-series models were used to evaluate if the observed winter 2019/2020 rates were higher than the forecast 95% prediction intervals. The estimated excess number of visits and hospitalizations in winter 2019/2020 were calculated compared to previous seasons.

Results

The percentage of patients presenting with an EHR reason for visit containing the word “cough” to clinics exceeded the 95% prediction interval the week of December 22, 2019, and was consistently above the 95% prediction interval all 10 weeks through the end of February 2020. Similar trends were noted for emergency department visits and hospitalizations starting December 22, 2019, where observed data exceeded the 95% prediction interval in 6 and 7 of the 10 weeks, respectively. The estimated excess over the 3-month 2019/2020 winter season, obtained by either subtracting the maximum or subtracting the average of the five previous seasons from the current season, was 1.6 or 2.0 excess visits for cough per 1000 outpatient visits, 11.0 or 19.2 excess visits for cough per 1000 emergency department visits, and 21.4 or 39.1 excess visits per 1000 hospitalizations with acute respiratory failure, respectively. The total numbers of excess cases above the 95% predicted forecast interval were 168 cases in the outpatient clinics, 56 cases for the emergency department, and 18 hospitalized with acute respiratory failure.

Conclusions

A significantly higher number of patients with respiratory complaints and diseases starting in late December 2019 and continuing through February 2020 suggests community spread of SARS-CoV-2 prior to established clinical awareness and testing capabilities. This provides a case example of how health system analytics combined with EHR data can provide powerful and agile tools for identifying when future trends in patient populations are outside of the expected ranges.
User Experiences With and Recommendations for Mobile Health Technology for Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Jongsma Karin Rolanda , van den Heuvel Josephus F M , Rake Jasmijn , Bredenoord Annelien L , Bekker Mireille N
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a primary cause of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes worldwide. For women at risk of hypertensive complications, guidelines recommend frequent surveillance of blood pressure and signs of preeclampsia. Clinic visits range from every 2 weeks to several times a week. Given the wide ubiquity of smartphones and computers in most countries and a growing attention for self-management, digital technologies, including mobile health (mHealth), constitute a promising component of monitoring (self-measured) blood pressure during pregnancy. Currently, little is known about the experiences of women using such platforms and how mHealth can be aligned with their needs and preferences.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives were twofold: (1) to explore the experiences of Dutch women who had an increased risk of HDP with a blended care approach (mHealth combined with face-to-face care) for remote self-monitoring of blood pressure and preeclampsia symptoms and (2) to formulate recommendations for the use and integration of mHealth in clinical care.

METHODS

Alongside a prospective blended care study (SAFE@home study) that monitors pregnant women at increased risk of HPD with mHealth technology, a mixed methods study was conducted, including questionnaires (n=52) and interviews (n=11). Results were analyzed thematically.

RESULTS

Of the 4 themes, 2 themes were related to the technologies themselves (expectations, usability), and 2 themes were related to the interaction and use of mHealth (autonomy and responsibilities of patients, responsibilities of health care professionals). First, the digital platform met the expectations of patients, which contributed to user satisfaction. Second, the platform was considered user-friendly, and patients favored different moments and frequencies for measuring their blood pressure. Third, patient autonomy was mentioned in terms of increased insight about their own condition and being able to influence clinical decision making. Fourth, clinical expertise of health care professionals was considered essential to interpret the data, which translates to subsequent responsibilities for clinical management. Data from the questionnaires and interviews corresponded.

CONCLUSIONS

Blended care using an mHealth tool to monitor blood pressure in pregnancy was positively evaluated by its users. Insights from participants led to 7 recommendations for designing and implementing similar interventions and to enhance future, morally sound use of digital technologies in clinical care.
ReMindCare App for Early Psychosis: Pragmatic Real World Intervention and Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: Bonet Lucia , Torous John , Arce David , Blanquer Ignacio , Sanjuan Julio
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

eHealth interventions are widely used in clinical trials and increasingly in care settings as well; however, their efficacy in real-world contexts remains unknown. ReMindCare is a smartphone app that has been systematically implemented in a first episode of psychosis program (FEPP) for patients with early psychosis since 2018.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of ReMindCare after 19 months of use in the clinic and varying use by individual patients.

METHODS

The integration of the ReMindCare app into the FEPP started in October 2018. Patients with early psychosis self-selected to the app (ReMindCare group) or treatment as usual (TAU group). The outcome variables considered were adherence to the intervention and number of relapses, hospital admissions, and visits to urgent care units. Data from 90 patients with early psychosis were analyzed: 59 in the ReMindCare group and 31 in the TAU group. The mean age of the sample was 32.8 (SD 9.4) years, 73% (66/90) were males, 91% (83/90) were White, and 81% (74/90) were single.

RESULTS

Significant differences between the ReMindCare and TAU groups were found in the number of relapses, hospitalizations, and visits to urgent care units, with each showing benefits for the app. Only 20% (12/59) of patients from the ReMindCare group had a relapse, while 58% (18/31) of the TAU patients had one or more relapses (χ2=13.7, P=.001). Moreover, ReMindCare patients had fewer visits to urgent care units (χ2=7.4, P=.006) and fewer hospitalizations than TAU patients (χ2=4.6, P=.03). The mean of days using the app was 352.2 (SD 191.2; min/max: 18-594), and the mean of engagement was 84.5 (SD 16.04).

CONCLUSIONS

To our knowledge, this is the first eHealth intervention that has preliminarily proven its benefits in the real-world treatment of patients with early psychosis.

Authors: Li Yong , Lyu Shuzheng
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

Prevention of coronary microvascular obstruction /no-reflow phenomenon(CMVO/NR) is a crucial step in improving prognosis of patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI )during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to develop and externally validate a diagnostic model of CMVO/NR in patients with acute STEMI underwent PPCI.

METHODS

Design: Multivariate logistic regression of a cohort of acute STEMI patients. Setting: Emergency department ward of a university hospital. Participants: Diagnostic model development: Totally 1232 acute STEMI patients who were consecutively treated with PPCI from November 2007 to December 2013. External validation: Totally 1301 acute STEMI patients who were treated with PPCI from January 2014 to June 2018. Outcomes: CMVO/NR during PPCI. We used logistic regression analysis to analyze the risk factors of CMVO/NR in the development data set. We developed a diagnostic model of CMVO/NR and constructed a nomogram.We assessed the predictive performance of the diagnostic model in the validation data sets by examining measures of discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA).

RESULTS

A total of 147 out of 1,232 participants (11.9%) presented CMVO/NR in the development dataset.The strongest predictors of CMVO/NR were age, periprocedural bradycardia, using thrombus aspiration devices during procedure and total occlusion of culprit vessel. Logistic regression analysis showed that the differences between two group with and without CMVO/NR in age( odds ratios (OR)1.031; 95% confidence interval(CI), 1.015 ~1.048 ; P <.001), periprocedural bradycardia (OR 2.151;95% CI,1.472~ 3.143 ; P <.001) , total occlusion of the culprit vessel (OR 1.842;95% CI, 1.095~ 3.1 ; P =.021) , and using thrombus aspirationdevices during procedure (OR 1.631; 95% CI, 1.029~ 2.584 ; P =.037).We developed a diagnostic model of CMVO/NR. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was .6833±.023. We constructed a nomogram.
CMVO/NR occurred in 120 out of 1,301 participants (9.2%) in the validation data set. The AUC was .6547±.025. Discrimination, calibration, and DCA were satisfactory.
Date of approved by ethic committee:16 May 2019. Date of data collection start: 1 June 2019. Numbers recruited as of submission of the manuscript:2,533.

CONCLUSIONS

We developed and externally validated a diagnostic model of CMVO/NR during PPCI.

Expanding the Reach of Research: Quantitative Evaluation of a Web-Based Approach for Remote Recruitment of People Who Hear Voices (Preprint)
Authors: Buck Benjamin , Chander Ayesha , Brian Rachel M , Wang Weichen , Campbell Andrew T , Ben-Zeev Dror
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND

Similar to other populations with highly stigmatized medical or psychiatric conditions, people who hear voices (ie, experience auditory verbal hallucinations [AVH]) are often difficult to identify and reach for research. Technology-assisted remote research strategies reduce barriers to research recruitment; however, few studies have reported on the efficiency and effectiveness of these approaches.

OBJECTIVE

This study introduces and evaluates the efficacy of technology-assisted remote research designed for people who experience AVH.

METHODS

Our group developed an integrated, automated and human complementary web-based recruitment and enrollment apparatus that incorporated Google Ads, web-based screening, identification verification, hybrid automation, and interaction with live staff. We examined the efficacy of that apparatus by examining the number of web-based advertisement impressions (ie, number of times the web-based advertisement was viewed); clicks on that advertisement; engagement with web-based research materials; and the extent to which it succeeded in representing a broad sample of individuals with AVH, assessed through the self-reported AVH symptom severity and demographic representativeness (relative to the US population) of the sample recruited.

RESULTS

Over an 18-month period, our Google Ads advertisement was viewed 872,496 times and clicked on 11,183 times. A total amount of US $4429.25 was spent on Google Ads, resulting in 772 individuals who experience AVH providing consent to participate in an entirely remote research study (US $0.40 per click on the advertisement and US $5.73 per consented participant) after verifying their phone number, passing a competency screening questionnaire, and providing consent. These participants reported high levels of AVH frequency (666/756, 88.1% daily or more), distress (689/755, 91.3%), and functional interference (697/755, 92.4%). They also represented a broad sample of diversity that mirrored the US population demographics. Approximately one-third (264/756, 34.9%) of the participants had never received treatment for their AVH and, therefore, were unlikely to be identified via traditional clinic-based research recruitment strategies.

CONCLUSIONS

Web-based procedures allow for time saving, cost-efficient, and representative recruitment of individuals with AVH and can serve as a model for future studies focusing on hard-to-reach populations.

O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL E O TRABALHO DECENTE: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DA “CONDIÇÃO DE AGENTE” DO INDIVÍDUO E DA REDUÇÃO À CONDIÇÃO ANÁLOGA À DE ESCRAVO
Authors: Lopes Scodro Catharina , Caravieri Martins Juliane
Published: August 2020

Na atual conjuntura global, a preservação do meio ambiente e a promoção do trabalho decente constituem desafios que vão ao encontro da noção de desenvolvimento sustentável. Nesse sentido, a fim de confluir esses desafios, garantir qualidade de vida e suprimento das demandas intergeracionais, a Organização Internacional do Trabalho criou o “Programa Empregos Verdes” que se propõe a associar a proteção ambiental ao trabalho realizado em condições de liberdade, equidade e segurança, afastando, portanto, suas piores formas, como o trabalho forçado. Esse estudo se propôs a analisar a noção de desenvolvimento sustentável e de trabalho decente, bem como esmiuçar o supracitado Programa e o fenômeno do trabalho em condições análogas à de escravo, analisado como óbice à concretização do trabalho decente e do desenvolvimento sustentável.
MERCANTILIZAÇÃO DA TERRA E O INVESTIMENTO ESTRANGEIRO NO CAMPO AGRÍCOLA
Authors: Belaidi Rabah , Reis de Lima Renata
Published: August 2020

Inserido em um contexto específico de convergência de crises (alimentar, ambiental, climática, energética e financeira), o crescimento da demanda mundial por terras se tornou um fenômeno global na primeira década do século XXI. Em um primeiro momento, devido à volatilidade e instabilidade dos mercados de commodities agrícolas, o fenômeno, chamado de land grabbing, foi analisado pelas primeiras pesquisas, como forma de garantir a segurança alimentar. Já em um segundo momento, a estrangeirização da aquisição de terras é abordada das mais diversas formas e com os mais variados motivos: especulação financeira, controle de recursos energéticos biológicos ou minerais, de rotas de transporte, fontes de água ou simplesmente a busca por novas oportunidades de lucro via produção. Ao considerar a aquisição de terras por estrangeiros como potencial ativo seguro para o investimento, analisamos a aquisição de terra por estrangeiros a partir das diretrizes do direito internacional ao investimento.  Palavras chave: Estrangeirização de Terras; Controle de Terras; Investimento Estrangeiro.
O BEM DA VIDA E A VIDA BOA NA TEORIA DE JOHN FINNIS: UMA INTRODUÇÃO
Authors: Souza Elden Borges , Lima Caroline Figueiredo
Published: August 2020

O presente artigo investiga a teoria neoclássica, especificamente a tese apresentada por John Finnis, no tocante ao bem humano básico da vida, trabalhado pelo autor em “Lei Natural e Direitos Naturais”. A problemática do tema proposto, incide em pesquisar quais são os parâmetros de alcance do direito à vida, introduzido pelo autor, além de identificar quais são as dimensões da vida boa na teoria analisada. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica da teoria analítica do direito e um diálogo entre os opositores desta tese, tem-se por objetivo central introduzir a teoria finnisiana sobre o bem comum e o florescimento humano, além de expor os aspectos da vida boa dos seres humanos. A hipótese consiste em trabalhar a vida como elemento intrínseco a todos os indivíduos e, consequentemente, como um bem básico independente de positivação pelo Estado.
INFLUÊNCIA DA OPINIÃO PÚBLICA NA ATUAÇÃO DO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: Santos Glauzienne Mendes , Verbicaro Loiane Prado
Published: August 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo constatar uma conexão, cada vez mais acentuada, entre a opinião pública e as decisões proferidas pelos Ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal, colocando o referido órgão sob intensa exposição e, de certo modo, vulnerável à mídia e à opinião pública. Para que o assunto possa ser bem analisado e compreendido, buscou-se, na doutrina, delinear o processo que culminou na independência judicial e no papel desempenhado pela Suprema Corte, quando diante dos casos concretos. Na sequência, delimitou-se o conceito de opinião pública, o quanto esta vem influenciando o processo decisório dos membros do Tribunal constitucional e inviabilizando a concreta atuação contramajoritária da Corte constitucional. A apreciação real deste fenômeno ficou constatada a partir da análise crítica de três decisões emblemáticas: a lei da ficha limpa (RE 633.703), a ação penal 470 DF, conhecida por julgamento do mensalão, e o habeas corpus 126.292/SP que mudou o entendimento do princípio constitucional da presunção de inocência.
A INCONSTITUCIONALIDADE DA FIGURA DO EMPREGADO HIPERSSUFICIENTE TRAZIDA PELA LEI 13.467/2017
Authors: Guimarães Dirlene Mendes , Mialhe Jorge Luís
Published: August 2020

O presente trabalho bibliográfico e documental, com utilização do método dedutivo-normativo, tem como objetivo demonstrar a inconstitucionalidade da nova figura do empregado hiperssuficiente, trazida pela Lei 13.467/2017, alterando o artigo 444, parágrafo único, da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho, que dispõe que caberá ao empregado portador de diploma de nível superior e que perceba salário mensal igual ou superior a duas vezes o limite máximo dos benefícios do Regime Geral da Previdência Social, a livre estipulação dos direitos previstos no art. 611–A, com a mesma eficácia legal e preponderância sobre os instrumentos coletivos. Ao analisar-se a Constituição Federal de 1988, pode-se verificar que esse artigo viola o princípio da isonomia previsto em seus arts. 5º e 7º, XXXII, assim como a Convenção nº 111 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho, pois importa discriminação em matéria de emprego e ocupação. Justifica-se a pesquisa porque a citada alteração coloca o empregado, em nível de igualdade ao empregador para pactuarem nos contratos trabalhistas, dando a mesma validade dos diplomas coletivos, assim como a própria lei. Conclui-se que o instituto trabalhista traz como uma das características principais a subordinação entre ambas as figuras, prevista no art. 3º da CLT, o que naturalmente impede que estejam em nível de igualdade, conforme dispõe a alteração trazida pela Lei 13.467/17.

Published: August 2020

The authors of this paper, which is a part of a more extensive research, provide an overview of anthropometric characteristics and motor skills in fourth-grade primary school students in Vranje and differences in these between boys and girls. The anthropometric characteristics included in the measurements were body height (Tv) and body weight (Tt), while the motor skills measured were the explosive leg power, explosive torso and shoulder power, speed, static (isometric) arm and shoulder strength, and flexibility (mobility).Body height was measured by a height meter, body weight by a weight scale, explosive leg power by a standing long jump (Sudm), explosive torso and shoulder power was measured by throwing a 2 kg medicine ball (Bm), speed was measured by a 30 m run from a high start (Tvs), static (isometric) arm and shoulder strength with pull-up endurance up to 120 seconds (Iuz) and flexibility (mobility) with standing hamstring stretch (Dpk). This research included 500 participants, fourth-grade primary school students in Vranje, both boys and girls. Statistical analysis provided us with descriptive data as well as with the differences between boys and girls in anthropometric and motor skill variables which were calculated using the t-test. The research results tell us that all the statistically significant differences are in favour of the boys. The same results that this research has provided can serve as a basis for further diagnostics efforts and  planning of physical education lessons. These findings have also shown us that it is necessary to identify reliable measuring instruments for monitoring and tracking the state and changes in the anthropometric characteristics of younger school age children.
PHONOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ROMAN JAKOBSON AS A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING
Authors: Rusimović Tanja , Miladinović Dragan
Published: August 2020

This work analyzes Roman Jakobson's phonological survey, which was inspired by poetic texts, verse structure and direct observation of the work of certain poets. Changes in poetry, especially in the verse space, brought about a new view of the sounds in speech and their real linguistic (communicative) function. The survey will show that there is a lot of symmetry and regularity in grammatical opposition among various poets across different epochs and nations. In that way, a composition role of grammatical categories which recur or are contrasted was confirmed. Jakobson’s phonological survey can be a theoretical framework for methodological innovation in teaching grammar which correlates with teaching literature.
FUNCTION OF TRANSLATORS AND CULTURE INSTITUTIONS IN TRANSLATING ENGLISH NOVEL FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE INTO SERBIAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Mišić Danijela
Published: August 2020

English is usually been selected as a target language in translating due to its global position as а mediating language for the promotion of international literature but in this paper we are considering the importance of translations of the English children's literature into the Serbian language transmitting its contents, cultural heritage, values, (hidden) ideologies and stereotypes. Until the First World War English literature was popularized in Serbia in magazines Srpski književni glasnik, Delo, Letopis Matice Srpske, Brankovo kolo, comprising translations, reviews, comments, and the opinions on  the  translation methods. Translations embodied universal values such as cooperation between cultures, similar and different mentality of people incarnated in heroes' actions, religion, accepting differences in all forms. While translating English novel for children and young people time and cultural spaces and stimulation of the development of spiritual wealth of readers were constantly in focus. The goal of this paper is also to indicate the specificities of this cultural and literary work in a more detailed way.

In this paper the author pays special attention to teaching contents that will be analyzed in English language classes at master degree level of studies for preschool and primary teacher education at pedagogical and teacher-training faculties. A good choice of texts from children’s world at preschool and school age enables teachers to approach children’s speech development of their mother tongue and English language as well in a specific way, to stimulate the enrichment of their vocabulary and correct pronounciation of sounds, words and sentences. Chosen texts will help to expand their knowledge of the ways and possibilities of approaching the foreign language which is different from their mother tongue. Examples of exercises will show students the way to find out the meaning of words in English linguistic system.
CONNECTION BETWEEN CLASSROOM CLIMATE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Authors: Ranđelović Dušan , Dimić Danica
Published: August 2020

The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between academic performance and certain dimensions (components) of classroom climate (teacher-student interaction, social climate, fear of failure, and emotional climate), as well as the relationship between classroom climate components and sociodemographic variables. The sample included 180 sixth and eighth grade students from elementary schools in Leskovac. For the purposes of this study we used the Presence scale of classroom climate components and the General questionnaire created for this research. The results indicate that there is no statistically significant correlation between the classroom climate components and academic performance. Boys had higher scores when it came to the “social climate” component, while “fear of failure” was more expressed among girls. Younger students had higher scores with regard to the “teacher-student interaction” component and “emotional climate” component than the older ones .These results are partly in line with some previous studies and emphasize that it is very important to take into account the classroom climate that students are learning in, which may indirectly affect students’ academic performance.
DISCIPLINARY AND THEORETICAL APPROACH TO THE PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL ORIENTATION OF THE EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Mitic Ljiljana , Zdravković Danijela , Dimitrijević Srboljub
Published: August 2020

This paper examines the relationship and scope of the convergence of environmentally oriented disciplines (sociology and pedagogy), sub disciplines theoretical approaches (socio-environmental theory and ecological systems theory) which focus on the integration of contemporary society, individual and nature, all with the goal of sustainable development and common prosperity. In the process of globalization, man is largely forced to be flexible and to adapt to the mechanisms of the market economy and to adopt the principles of any type of diversity. The connection between environmental values, knowledge and experiences is the central idea of education for sustainable development. The main paradigm of environmental orientation requires the redefinition of the educational goals, in order to balance the changes to the “identitary” culture and value matrices of general social importance during the sustainable development process. It is clear that by defining the desirable environmental values and action competences that are pro-environmental, it would result in the optimum model of sustainable development within the education system, which ensures local and global development and progress. For these reasons, in addition to formal and university education, the education for sustainable development is achieved by self-education, non-formal and informal education. We conclude that the development and transfer of value matrices in the implicit curriculum which are based on the interactive encouragement of environmental sensitivity and social experiences in immediate communication in the classroom and school, can affect the adoption of ethical and environmental sustainability standards, as well as action competencies to address many important social issues.
MONITORING AND EVALUATION IN SERBIAN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Authors: Stojanović Buba
Published: August 2020

The importance of Serbian language teaching for the proper development and education of primary school students requires the teachers to act responsibly both regarding the learning goals and learning objectives, and regarding the contents used in the classroom to achieve these goals, but especially concerning the student activities that need to be properly assessed. The learning goals for Serbian language lessons and the final learning objectives depend on carefully designed activities that will help to develop students’ linguistic and speaking skills, and also to constantly monitor and assess the overall engagement both in and outside of the classroom. Classroom experience worldwide shows that the results of the teaching process in general, and in particular language teaching, are perceived through the students’ knowledge acquired and their behavior, their linguistic and speaking skills, interaction with each other, individual traits, interests, which all imposes the need for both formative and summative assessment in primary school, in order for student performance to be observed in a thorough and objective manner. Contrary to this, evaluation in Serbia is mostly numerical, except in the first grade of primary school where it is descriptive. This paper, among other things, explains how the fourth grade students perceive their teachers’ attitude towards evaluation, which contents of the Serbian language lessons he/she most often evaluates, the feedback he/she provides or does not provide and the importance that he/she does or does not give to feedback, as well as the “self-image” that students create based on the assessment and the grade given to them by their teacher.
ENGLISH L2 DEFINITE ARTICLE INSTRUCTION AT THE SERBIAN L1 TERTIARY LEVEL
Authors: Veličković Marta
Published: August 2020

The study has two main goals: to assess in part the effects of current definite article instruction at the tertiary level in the Serbian L1/English L2 environment, and to analyze whether the use of the definite article in English could be represented by figure/ground alignment in the instruction process. One of the questionnaires used (consisting of fill-in-the-blank tasks) was meant to rate the participants’ L2 definite article production in the contexts for its obligatory use. Another questionnaire consisted of illustrations of figure/ground alignment as cues for a translation task meant to assess whether the definite article would be used in situations where the referent of choice was presented as the figure. An analysis of the data indicated that the participants, who displayed various levels of knowledge of definite article use on the first questionnaire, scored identical (successful) results when establishing a link between the use of the definite article and figure/ground alignment. These results could prove useful for innovating the L2 instruction process in the Serbian L1/English L2 environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS OF LARGE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS – THE CITY OF NIŠ CASE STUDY
Authors: Vasović Dejan , Stanković Sandra , Takić Ljiljana
Published: August 2020

Nowadays, the Republic of Serbia is at the bottom of the scale of European countries in terms of public utility equipment of the respective communal infrastructure particularly within the area of wastewater collection and treatment. The current situation in the area of water resources management in the Republic of Serbia indicates that the basic problems are insufficient construction of sewerage infrastructure in cities, i.e. insufficient coverage with the sewerage network of users connected to either public or private water supply network, followed by an insufficient number of constructed and operative wastewater treatment plants. In this sense, a particular problem is a requirement for relatively large initial investments in wastewater collection and treatment sector. Also, a special difficulty is the low price of delivered and channeled water within the existing system of public utilities, which is insufficient to provide maintenance of the existing water supply and sewage systems, regardless the future development and improvement of the existing system. Currently, only 10% of total produced wastewater quantity is treated in the Republic of Serbia, with different procedures and with uneven and, most often, insufficient purification effects. In addition to wastewater generated by the population (i.e. households connected to the sewer system), the special problem is the inadequate treatment of industrial wastewater. On the other hand, disposition of treated wastewater, disposal of separated sludge from the treatment process, odor and pest control, noise control, working conditions, etc. are significant challenges for the scientists, professionals and operators. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to comprehensively examine all environmental aspects on the example of a large wastewater treatment plant which is to be gained by the city of Niš, in the very near future.

Published: August 2020

Economic and social development of cities, as well as the development of transport, yield great benefits to the inhabitants, but also have rather negative impact on the environment. The paper analyzes the results of environmental monitoring of air quality in the municipality of Trstenik for 2017, based on the assessment report done by the Public Health Institute Kruševac (an accredited testing laboratory of the municipal administration of Trstenik). Sampling was performed at a measuring site in Trstenik over a 24-hour period. Afterwards, an analysis of the obtained measurement results was carried out, followed by a conclusion on air pollution values, and a proposal for improvement measures.
PRESERVATIONAL CLIMATE CONDITIONING FOR ARTWORKS ON PAPER
Authors: Mijailović Ivan , Radojkovic Slobodan
Published: August 2020

Artworks on paper include manuscripts, prints, drawings, collages, and paintings on paper. Their preservation requires strict values of microclimate parameters, in particular temperature, humidity, radiation and illumination. Maintenance of these parameters in exhibition spaces and storages is of vital importance for collection integrity. Paper as an art medium is particularly sensitive to these factors. Employment of HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) system is recommended in order to avoid unwanted fluctuations in microclimate conditions. Intelligent control system should be used for data acquisition and activation of HVAC system when needed. In that way, the live span of these sensitive artworks can be extended and preserved for future generations.
THE PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL BASICS OF WORK SAFETY
Authors: Živković Snežana , Veljković Milan
Published: August 2020

The paper presents the theoretical groundwork of people’s safety in the working environment observed from the psychophysiological point of view. This aspect was considered through the characteristics and influence of the psychic processes, traits and states on the individual safety during the work. Bearing in mind that each person is different and represents a distinctive and unique person that is structured in a specific and special way, the knowledge of the psychophysiological characteristics of people is a crucial factor for professional safety.Specifically, worker traits such as individual differences, personality, emotions, knowledge, cognition, and similar, influence employees activities and behaviour, as well as and the outcome of their work in terms of safety – whether or not an occupational injury or accident occurred or whether there was a possibility of threats. Through the study of the psychophysiological features of a human, i.e. its psychic characteristics, processes, and personality, it is possible to a certain extent to influence the improvement of the safety parameters in the workplace as well as the efficient functioning of the "man-production environment" system.

Authors: Haznadarevic Lutvo , Milosevic Novak , Stojiljkovic Evica
Published: August 2020

The protection of rights and disabled persons' safety are the most sensitive elements of social development policy, and also economic and social policy. Nowadays, disability should be viewed from a human rights perspective. One of the problems pertaining to the employment of persons with physical disabilities is infrastructure (architectural barriers) on the one hand, and organized transport on the other. The main objective of this paper is to consider the issue of transportation for employees with physical disabilities, which is a significant factor for providing employment opportunities for these persons in the Republic of Serbia. The overall aim of this paper is to determine the ergonomically most suitable and economically acceptable technical solution using the AHP method when adapting the existing vehicles into the vehicles intended for the transport of persons with mobility impairments.
SUSTAINABILITY OF MACHINE COMPLIANCE IN THE OPERATION PROCESS
Authors: Cvetković Miljan D
Published: August 2020

The nature of the free market imposed certain mechanisms in the form of mandatory requirements. Among these mechanisms, an important place is occupied by the so-called New Approach (New approach) to determine the essential technical requirements for products and the Global Approach (Global approach) to determine compliance. This paper attempts to answer the following questions: What happens to the product when it passes into the phase of exploitation? How long can a process owner count on the projected level of acceptable risk, as well as on the validity of the CE declaration of conformity?The remaining risk is considered to be the risk that accompanies the product after compliance with the current directives of the New Approach and harmonized standards. The issue of residual risk requires an analytical approach to the dominant processes that demand specific engineering knowledge of risk management. The overall aim is to highlight the character of engineering, which corresponds to the concept of integrated safety needs of processes and contributes to preserving employee health.
