Ottoman Influence on Architecture: The Evolution of Spatial and Decorative Elements in the 19th Century Traditional Macedonian Architecture
Authors: Namicev Petar , Todorovska Ekaterina Namicheva
Published: October 2024

Vernacular architecture of 19th-century Macedonia have
undergone significant transformations, primarily influenced by
Ottoman architectural systems. In this context, "vernacular houses"
refer to traditional dwellings built by local communities using
indigenous materials and construction techniques. This study
examines how Ottoman spatial configurations and decorative
elements have been incorporated into Macedonian architecture
during this period, illustrating the complex interplay between
external influences and local adaptations. By examining these
changes, the research reveals the evolving architectural identity of
Macedonia in the 19th century.
The research employs various qualitative methods, including
a comprehensive review of historical texts and scholarly literature
related to Macedonian vernacular architecture. In addition, field
surveys, photographic documentation and interviews with local
experts and residents have been conducted to observe and record
architectural changes.
The study concludes that 19th-century Macedonian
vernacular houses have experienced significant alterations due to the
incorporation of Ottoman architectural principles. These changes
have been evident in the spatial organization, decorative motifs, and
construction methods, which have been drawn from Ottoman
traditions while preserving the distinctive characteristics of the
region’s vernacular architecture. This adaptive process underscores
the dynamic nature of Macedonian architecture, which has evolved
through a blend of local and external architectural elements.

Las dislipidemias, son una preocupación creciente debido a su asociación con la presencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares. El identificar los factores de riesgo de dislipidemias en niñas, niños y adolescentes puede ser crucial para implementar estrategias preventivas y efectivas. Las dislipidemias se presentan por etiología primaria y secundaria y puede asociarse a otras enfermedades o incluso a factores exógenos; uno de los principales factores de riesgo en estas poblaciones es la dieta poco saludable, rica en grasas saturadas, grasas trans y azúcares refinados. El consumo excesivo de alimentos procesados favorece los desequilibrios en los niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos en la sangre. La actividad física es otro factor a considerar ya que la inactividad favorece el aumento de peso, la resistencia a la insulina y la disminución de los niveles de lipoproteínas de alta densidad (HDL), también conocido como colesterol bueno; y, otros factores de riesgo tambien pueden ser el sobrepeso, la obesidad y la herencia genética a enfermedades cardiovasculares, trastornos metabólicos como la resistencia a la insulina y el síndrome metabólico, enfermedades como la diabetes tipo 2 y el hipotiroidismo. La adopción de un estilo de vida más saludable donde se cuiden los hábitos alimentarios y físicos, ayuda a minimizar o erradicar los factores desencadenantes, lo que toma importancia, debido a que este proceso comienza desde la infancia de manera asintomática. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en la cual se utilizaron diversas bases de datos como PubMed, Scopus, MedScape, Elsevier, entre otras, para recolectar información certera acerca del tema, tomando como criterios de inclusión articulos escritos en idioma inglés, español y portugués, excluyendo cualquier otro idioma; uno más de los criterios de investigación del tema, fue que se hablara acerca de  dislipidemias en niñas, niños y adolescentes de forma más específica, excluyendo cualquier articulo y/o trabajo donde se estudiaran sujetos mayores de 18 años; en cuanto a las fechas de publicación, se utilizaron articulos no mayores de 5 años para determinar enfoques y tratamientos, cualquier articulo de mayor  tiempo sólo se utilizaría para abordar conceptos. Este trabajo de revisión permitirá hacer enfasis en la importancia que tiene el conocimiento de los factores de riesgo de dislipidemias en niñas, niños y adolescentes para todo profesional de la salud que de manera oportuna permita poder prevenir complicaciones a largo plazo y promover la salud cardiovascular desde tempranas edades.

Published: October 2024

Objective: This study aims to identify the antecedents and consequences affecting job plateauing among school staff in Tehran, focusing on the lack of organizational dynamics and innovation. The goal is to provide a comprehensive model to guide policymakers and planners in reducing job plateauing. Methodology: The research employs the DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) technique to analyze the relationships among various factors contributing to job plateauing. A pairwise comparison questionnaire was administered to 30 academic experts and school managers. The DEMATEL method was utilized to structure and evaluate the intensity of direct and indirect relationships among the identified factors. Data analysis was conducted using EXCEL software to calculate values such as (R), (J), (R+J), and (R-J). Findings: The study identified five key dimensions contributing to the lack of organizational dynamics affecting job plateauing among school staff in Tehran: neglect of creativity and innovation among employees and teachers, lack of job autonomy, organizational and educational system stagnation and resistance to change, repetition and stability in current teaching methods and resources, and outdated knowledge, skills, and abilities of teachers and staff along with resistance to change. Among these, the outdated knowledge, skills, and abilities of teachers and staff, coupled with resistance to change, were found to have the highest impact on job plateauing. Additionally, neglecting creativity and innovation and lack of job autonomy were significantly influenced by other factors. Conclusion: The study concludes that the lack of organizational dynamics significantly contributes to job plateauing among school staff. Addressing these issues, particularly by fostering creativity and innovation, enhancing job autonomy, and updating the knowledge and skills of teachers and staff, can mitigate job plateauing.

Objective: The objective of this research is to examine the factors influencing financial innovation in companies operating within the capital market. Methodology: The study employs a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to test the hypothesized relationships. Data were collected through questionnaires from a sample of 70 experts in the field. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the constructs, and the model was assessed for fit and reliability using various indices such as Average Variance Extracted (AVE), Cronbach's alpha, and Composite Reliability (CR). Findings: The results indicate that all proposed paths are significant. Causal conditions are found to have a meaningful relationship with financial innovation through financial development phases, liquidity creation, risk management tools, and other factors. The central phenomenon significantly impacts contextual conditions such as GDP growth, regulatory changes, and organizational creativity. Additionally, intervening conditions (risk coverage, commodity-based financing) and strategies (use of Islamic financial instruments, management capability) also significantly influence contextual conditions. Lastly, contextual conditions have a significant effect on the outcomes, including social trust and financial performance. Conclusion: The study concludes that the identified factors significantly influence financial innovation in the capital market. These findings are consistent with previous research, particularly aligning with the results of Abdullah et al. (2022). The research highlights the importance of understanding the relationships between these factors to foster financial innovation effectively.

Published: October 2024

The present study aims to analyze the pathology of the role of civil society in crime prevention in Iran's criminal justice system. A qualitative research strategy, using thematic analysis, has been employed to address the issue. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 experts in criminal law and criminology, selected via theoretical sampling. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, specifically the thematic network analysis method, and a conceptual model was constructed based on network measurements. The findings from the qualitative research indicated that the pathology of civil society’s role in crime prevention within Iran's criminal justice system includes the following overarching themes: 1) Internal organizational challenges, including (legal and juridical issues, governmental executive issues, lack of awareness and weak cultural development concerning civil society, weak social capital, economic issues, and legal and executive redundancy and multifactorial challenges); and 2) External organizational challenges, including (structural and managerial weaknesses in civil society institutions and weak knowledge management in crime prevention). Furthermore, for "validity testing" of the constructed themes and model, two methods were used: communicative validation and audit methods. For "reliability testing," two approaches were employed: repeatability and transferability or generalizability.
Examining the Role of the Supreme Audit Court in Budget Implementation in Iran and Comparing It with French Law
Authors: Mohammadinia Omid
Published: October 2024

Parliamentary oversight in a political system reflects the supervision of representatives of the people over the government and the formation of a democratic structure. The independence of the legislature from the executive branch is one of the most crucial steps in political development in Iran, and legislative oversight can be regarded as a guarantee for seeking justice and holding the government accountable. According to Article 76 of the Constitution of Iran, the Parliament (Majlis) is authorized to investigate all affairs of the country. Furthermore, Article 55 of the Constitution grants the right of budget oversight to the Parliament through the Supreme Audit Court. However, there are numerous challenges in parliamentary oversight of budget implementation. Given that the structure of parliamentary oversight over the budget is carried out through the Supreme Audit Court, this research, employing a descriptive-analytical approach and a library research method, compares parliamentary oversight of budget implementation in the legal systems of Iran and France. The choice of France for comparative study stems from the fact that it was the second country after the United States and the first European country to establish a government structure based on the separation of powers and state control, influenced by Montesquieu's ideas. The findings of the research indicate that there are legal and executive shortcomings in parliamentary oversight in Iran, and on the other hand, the Supreme Audit Court also lacks a coherent legal and technical framework in its leadership domain. Consequently, these factors collectively reduce the performance of the Supreme Audit Court in the country.
Zašto filozofiju tjerati u rat?
Authors: Alić Sead
Published: October 2024

The idea of this text is to connect some basic philosophical questions with the current situation in Palestine. It is an attempt to demonstrate the necessity of philosophical reflection on everything that constitutes the context of warfare, that is, the struggle for survival in Palestine. The text calls into question the philosophical elevation of the ‘objectivity’ of law above human morality, and draws consequences from that position and points to the reality of such a relationship in a country where a colonial power interprets law exclusively as a means of realizing its interests. The text is critically oriented towards that philosophy that does not dare to speak about the horrors of the situation in Palestine, as well as the power of linking the interests of global corporations, political governments, and even religious hierarchies to conceal the real causes of what is happening in Palestine. Key words: Palestine, Zionism, colonialism, religious hierarchies, crime of philosophy, law, morality, wisdom.

Authors: Ikbal Revi Neini , Sari Rebbi Permata
Published: October 2024

Spiritual care, a vital component of holistic nursing, is often overlooked in intensive care units (ICUs) because of the limited knowledge, motivation, and competency of healthcare providers. This study investigated ICU nurses' knowledge, motivation, and skill in providing spiritual care. This cross-sectional study included 38 ICU nurses. A systematic questionnaire was used to evaluate nurses' knowledge, motivation, and competency in spiritual care. The relationships between these parameters were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The findings indicated that ICU nurses moderately understood spiritual care (M = 7.2, SD = 1.9) and exhibited strong motivation (M = 4.0, SD = 0.8). Skills in spiritual care were positively correlated with knowledge (r = 0.41, p < 0.05) and motivation (r = 0.52, p < 0.01). Previous spiritual care training markedly enhanced nurses' competencies (p < 0.05) and served as a significant predictor (β = 0.28, p < 0.05). This study underscores the critical role of knowledge, motivation, and competency in enhancing spiritual care among ICU nurses. Targeted interventions such as educational programs and institutional support are essential for improving spiritual care practices. Future research should focus on developing comprehensive training models to address the individual and systemic barriers to spiritual care integration in critical care environments.

Authors: Arianti Diana , Susanti Amelia , Gusdiansyah Edo , Welly
Published: October 2024

Body image disturbances are a common psychological challenge among patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM), influenced by the physical and emotional toll of the disease. Body dissatisfaction can negatively impact self-esteem, adherence to diabetes management, and overall quality of life. Positive affirmations, rooted in self-affirmation theory, have improved body image in various populations. However, there is limited research on the application of positive affirmations as an intervention for body image in DM patients. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a structured, positive affirmation intervention in improving body image among patients with Diabetes Mellitus using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The study involved 40 adult DM patients participating in a 4-week positive affirmation program. Body image outcomes were measured pre-and post-intervention using the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire – Appearance Scale (MBSRQ-AS). The primary outcomes were changes in appearance evaluation, appearance orientation, body area satisfaction, and self-classified weight. Paired sample t-tests were used to analyze pre- and post-intervention differences, with effect sizes calculated using Cohen's d. Significant improvements were observed in appearance evaluation (p < 0.001, d = 0.91), body area satisfaction (p < 0.001, d = 0.80), and self-classified weight (p < 0.01, d = 0.76). Appearance orientation decreased significantly (p < 0.01, d = 0.66), indicating a reduced focus on external appearance. The intervention showed firm effect sizes across all body image dimensions. Positive affirmations effectively improved body image among DM patients, with significant improvements across multiple dimensions. This intervention offers a practical, low-cost strategy for addressing body image disturbances, potentially enhancing the psychological and physical wellbeing of DM patients. Future studies should explore long-term effects and compare the intervention with other psychosocial approaches in diverse populations.

Published: October 2024

In recent years, SMEs in African nations, particularly Nigeria, have faced significant challenges related to green financing, sustainability, and environmental compliance. This research examines the influence of various green finance dimensions on the environmental performance of SMEs, focusing on selected manufacturing SMEs in Lagos, Nigeria. A total of 250 surveys were distributed to participants, with 235 completed questionnaires successfully collected. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) and Path Analysis-Structural Equation Modeling (PA-SEM). The results reveal a positive, though not statistically significant, relationship between green investment and green training with SMEs' environmental performance. This suggests that while green investment and training have potential as tools for improving SMEs' environmental outcomes, further research is necessary to confirm their effectiveness. However, the study finds a significant positive relationship between green loans, green technology, and environmental performance, highlighting the effectiveness of these measures in fostering environmental responsibility among SMEs. Based on these findings, the study recommends that government bodies, financial institutions, and other stakeholders provide financial incentives and support to encourage SMEs to adopt green technology and utilize green loans. Additionally, collaborative efforts to promote green training programs for SME employees are encouraged. This unified approach aims to foster a sustainable, environmentally conscious business environment, contributing to broader goals of environmental sustainability.

Las características morfológicas que presenta son muy similares a las descritas en Denarycotyle gardneri Pulido-Flores, Monks & Violante-González, 2015; sin embargo, la nueva especie se distingue de ésta en los siguientes aspectos: los ganchos de los septos mediales posteriores carecen de pieza accesoria esclerosada, en la región anterior hay una estructura muscular a manera de ventosa muy notoria, en cuyo centro se ubica la boca, no se observan glándulas laterales a la faringe, el bulbo eyaculador es diferente en forma (es ovoideo y en unos ejemplares parece un barril muscular con fibras musculares longitudinales), la región terminal del aparato reproductor masculino está rodeado por una masa glandular que ocupa todo el espacio intercecal, y la pared del ootipo es muscular y en su interior se observa tejido glandular. Puerto Viejo se constituye en un nuevo registro del ámbito geográfico para las especies de Denarycotyle. Se propone una modificación en la diagnosis del género introduciendo las características “ganchos con o sin pieza accesoria. Con o sin glándulas laterales a la faringe.  Vesícula seminal y bulbo eyaculador rodeados o no por tejido glandular ocupando el espacio intercecal. Ootipo con o sin tejido glandular en su interior”.
Ympäristökriisi ja elämänmerkitykset

Ympäristökriisi vakavoituu kaiken aikaa ja tällä on myös eksistentiaalisia ja hengellisiä vaikutuksia. Tutkimuksessa ympäristökriisin on havaittu aiheuttavan merkityksellisyyteen liittyviä vakavia pohdintoja. Aihe liittyy ympäristöahdistukseen, jolla tarkoitetaan laajasti määriteltynä ympäristökriisin aiheuttamia vaikeita tuntemuksia. Tässä artikkelissa keskityn ympäristöahdistuksen eksistentiaalisiin ja hengellisiin ulottuvuuksiin. Teoreettisena viitekehyksenä käytän Joel Vosin kehittämää merkitysten sekstettiä. Vosin mukaan merkitykset voidaan jakaa aineellisiin, hedonistisiin, itseen kohdistuviin, sosiaalisiin, laaja-alaisiin merkityksiin ja eksistentiaalis-filosofisiin merkityksiin. Artikkelissa analysoin näiden kuuden merkityksen kategorian ja ympäristöahdistuksen välistä suhdetta ja arvioin Vosin teoriaa ympäristöetiikan ja uskonnontutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Ympäristökriisi haastaa erityisesti aineellisia ja hedonististia merkityksiä ylikulutuksen uhatessa ekosysteemien kantokykyä. Itseen kohdistuvat merkitykset voivat muuttua ympäristöahdistuksen kokemusten myötä. Vaikutuksia voi esiintyä myös ihmisen yhteydessä toisiin ihmisiin ja syvämerkityksisiin yhteisöihin. Ympäristöahdistuksen eksistentiaalis-hengelliset elementit liittyvät Vosin jaottelun eksistentiaalis-filosofiseen kategoriaan. Artikkelissani kuitenkin esitän, että ympäristöahdistuksen eksistentiaalis-hengellisiä elementtejä ei tule yksiselitteisesti erottaa muista Vosin kuvaamista merkityksen kategorioista.

The Community Service (PKM) aims to analyze the speech acts of teachers used when teaching Indonesian subjects to students at Tinggimoncong State Elementary School, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province. This service was carried out by involving Indonesian language teachers as partners in exploring the variety of speech acts used in delivering material in class. This service applied classroom observations, interviews, and recordings as data collection techniques. Data analysis used a qualitative approach, specifically a systematic coding of the observed interactions, to identify the dominant speech acts used by teachers when delivering the material. The results of the service show that the variety of speech acts used by teachers during Indonesian language learning are directive speech acts used to give instructions to students, expressive speech acts used to build emotional relationships with students, commissive speech acts, and declarative speech acts appear in explaining and giving teacher assignments to students. Teachers use assertive speech acts to express, state, and inform about subjects taught in class. This PKM activity also provides training to teachers on the application of speech acts that can increase the effectiveness of learning in the classroom. Implementing the findings positively impacts the communication skills of teachers teaching subjects, mainly Indonesian.

El estudio analiza la disparidad de género en educación en la región Puno, entre los años 2001 y 2022. Se utilizo los datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI), y se examinó la tasa de analfabetismo, promedio de años de estudio, y nivel de educación alcanzado en mujeres y hombres mayores de 15 años. Los resultados muestran una reducción constante en las tasas de analfabetismo tanto en mujeres como en hombres, pasando de un 29.8% en mujeres y un 6.5% en hombres en 2001, a 12.6% y 2.2%, respectivamente, en 2022. Se destaca el aumento en el promedio de años de estudio alcanzado, las mujeres pasaron de 7.9 años en 2001 a 9.5 años en 2021, mientras que los hombres aumentaron de 9.1 a 10.5 años en el mismo periodo. El nivel de estudios alcanzado muestra el porcentaje de la población con solo educación primaria, en el 2021, el 28.8% de las mujeres y el 18.4% de los hombres alcanzaron este nivel educativo, revelando una mayor dificultad para las mujeres de avanzar más allá de la educación primaria. Se concluye que la disparidad de género sigue siendo significativa, lo que refleja que las barreras estructurales afectan más a las mujeres en su acceso a la educación, y conlleva la imperiosa necesidad de implementar políticas educativas inclusivas con un enfoque de género para cerrar esta desigualdad.
