Authors: Souza Newton Bignotto de
Published: January 2025

O artigo trata do problema da tirania na obra de Leo Strauss. Partindo de seu texto On Tyranny, procuramos mostrar que se trata de um conceito central em sua obra, que ajuda a compreender pontos essenciais de sua obra madura. Para demonstrar nossa hipótese, procuramos explorar duas vias. Em primeiro lugar, comparamos os argumentos apresentados no texto mencionado acima com o conteúdo do Hieron de Xenofonte. Nesse primeiro passo, ressaltamos a maneira como o autor conduziu sua análise do escrito da Antiguidade. Num segundo momento, analisamos o debate de Strauss com seus intérpretes, em particular com Alexandre Kojève.

The results show that a high ROE, as seen in HMSP, reflects efficient equity management and positively contributes to increased firm value, while low ROE in GGRM and ITIC indicates inefficiency. ROA analysis reveals that all four issuers have very high average ROA, indicating efficiency in utilizing assets to generate profits. Regarding EPS, the increase in ITIC and WIIM reflects improved financial performance, whereas the decline in EPS at GGRM and HMSP may reduce investor attractiveness. Overall, the study concludes that ROE, ROA, and EPS are important indicators influencing firm value, although they should be considered along with other external factors for a more comprehensive understanding.

Published: January 2025

It examines the role of nationalism, EU solidarity, and the Dublin Regulation in shaping response to the refugee crisis in Europe since the migration crisis of 2015. The crisis was a turning point, revealing deep fractures in the European Union as member states come under unprecedented pressure to maintain order in the face of mass migration. Some countries emphasized shared responsibility and a humanitarian focus while others, propelled by nationalist and populist movements, focused on national sovereignty, border security and tougher immigration enforcement. The Dublin Regulation that aims to simplify asylum procedures, generated more frictions by placing most of the responsibilities on the frontline states like Greece and Italy. By investigating the dynamics between national and EU interests in the context of political and public discourses, it sheds light on the contentious trade-offs that fell out of the politics of reception and integration and the implications that has for refugee protection and governance of migration in the EU.
Чии са тълкуванията в Слово 32 на Учителното евангелие?
Authors: Котова Добриела
Published: January 2025

The article is dedicated to Oration 32 of Constantine of Preslav’s Uchitelno Evangelie (‘Didactic Gospel’). In all four Slavonic copies of this written monument, the name of Cyrill of Alexandria appears in the title, thus attributing to him the authorship of the commentaries that make up the middle section of the sermon. In it, the commentary on Lk 16:19–31 is translated, which is part of the catena on Luke Type A CPG/ClaCla C130.1 (catena prima, die Grundform). In most Byzantine manuscripts witnessing this catena, there is an attribution Κυρίλλου in the margins to one of the opening passages. A comparison with catenae of other types further reveals the names of John Chrysostom and Isidore of Pelusiot. On the basis of the analysis, into which the Syriac translation of Cyril of Alexandria’s Homilies 111 and 112 and John Chrysostom’s Conciones de Lazaro are also included, the boundaries of the fragments stemming from individual authors compiled in the anonymous commentary of CPG/ClaCla C130.1 are established. It becomes clear that the majority of the commentaries included in Orations 32 are in fact excerpts from John Chrysostom’s Conciones de Lazaro, 1ؘ–4. The comparison between the various catenae also seems to indicate their dependence on a common archetype.

Published: January 2025

In der heutigen Welt der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie hat sich die Generation Z, die Digital Natives, wiedergefunden. Im Jahr 2021 nutzten 95% der jungen Menschen in der EU täglich das Internet (Eurostat, 2022). Um in der überwältigenden Menge an Informationen navigieren zu können, müssen Jugendliche Medienkompetenz beweisen. Der Fortschritt der Medien und Technologien erfordert eine zunehmende Anzahl an digitalen Fähigkeiten, wobei die Medienkompetenz in den letzten Jahren viele Formen und Gestalten gekannt hat. In diesem Zusammenhang befasst sich die vorliegende Literaturübersicht mit dem Übergang von der Medienkompetenz der 90er Jahre (Aufderheide, 1993) zur neuen, digitalen Medienkompetenz. Unsere primären Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die neue Medienkompetenz ein Grundstein in der fortlaufenden Entwicklung und in der Bildungsphase der Jugendlichen ist.
Die Vermittlung von interkultureller Kompetenz im Unterricht: Stereotype, Vorurteile und Klischees
Authors:   West University of Timisoara, Magheţiu Anca , Lavrits Patrick ,   West University of Timisoara
Published: January 2025

Stereotypisierung ist ein in allen menschlichen Gesellschaften anzutreffendes Phänomen. Klischees und Vorurteile begegnen uns ständig: in der Werbung, in den Nachrichten, in den Boulevardmedien. Die Auseinandersetzung mit negativen und positiven Stereotypen ist unerlässlich bei der Vermittlung interkulturellen Kompetenz, da beide aus unserer selektiven Wahrnehmung stammen und mit Gefühlen assoziiert werden. Eine solche Auseinandersetzung ist also meistens affektiv geprägt, d.h. eigene Erfahrungen, Erlebnisse und Sichtweisen werden mit einbezogen. Die vorliegende Arbeit nimmt sich vor zu zeigen, wie Stereotype im Fach Deutsch – Interkulturelle Kommunikation unterrichtet werden, wie Studierende auf kulturelle Unterschiede aufmerksam gemacht werden und wie dadurch interkulturelle Kompetenz gefördert wird. Klischees über Menschen, Länder und Sachverhalte können auch eine kommunikative Funktion haben: sie sind eine Abkürzung zum Verstehen.
EU English current status within EU bodies, its impact and spread in Europe
Authors:   University of Craiova, Florică Dragotă Teodora
Published: January 2025

While ”Englishes” have continuously developed around the world with their own vocabulary and grammar particularities, Euro-English has made no exception. English is no longer the property of the traditional “natives” while the role of English as the continent's lingua franca meets the need for effective and efficient communication in and out the EU bodies. Although some (Eurosceptics) have predicted that Brexit would mark the decline of its use in EU institutions, EU English has also been subject to some pejorative labels such as Brussels language, Eurolegalese or Eurish. Others claim that communications in the EU is fairer in English, shaping into a more and more neutral language that serves as a catalyst one and that it has the chance to become everyone’s second language.

Die auslandsdeutsche Presse wurde bisher kaum wissenschaftlich untersucht, obwohl sie besonders durch ihr interkulturelles Profil, viel Potenzial bringt (Földes, 2019: 1). Die vielfältigen sprachlich-kulturellen Hintergrundkonstellationen, die in dieser Art von Pressesprache auftauchen, sind eher unerforscht und können zahlreiche Einblicke in die Kultur und Identität ihrer Zielgruppe bieten. Folglich bietet die vorliegende Arbeit einen kleinen Einblick in die verwendete Pressesprache und den sprachlichen Besonderheiten der rumäniendeutschen Presse am Beispiel der mehr als siebzig Jahre bestehenden Tageszeitung Allgemeine Deutsche Zeitung für Rumänien.

Published: January 2025

La presente revisión sistemática, centrada en el contexto ecuatoriano, buscaba determinar el impacto de la educación musical y artística en el desarrollo integral de niños en edad preescolar. A través de un análisis riguroso de la literatura científica, se encontró evidencia sólida que respalda la hipótesis de que la exposición temprana a las artes contribuye significativamente al desarrollo cognitivo, socioemocional y creativo de los niños. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que la integración de actividades musicales y artísticas en los programas educativos puede mejorar el rendimiento académico, fomentar habilidades sociales y emocionales fundamentales para la vida, y estimular la creatividad y la expresión personal. Sin embargo, se identificó una necesidad de realizar más investigaciones con diseños metodológicos robustos y muestras representativas de la población ecuatoriana. Se recomienda a los educadores y diseñadores de currículos considerar la incorporación de experiencias artísticas en los programas de educación inicial, así como a los investigadores continuar explorando los mecanismos subyacentes a los efectos de la educación artística en el desarrollo infantil.

Chickpea milk: nutritional profile, functional characteristics, bioactive compounds, and quality enhancement: A comprehensive review
Authors: Hamioud Aya , Benmeziane Farida , Djermoune-Arkoub Lynda
Published: January 2025

The prevalence of cow's milk allergies and lactose intolerance has been growing alongside the evolution of bovine milk consumption and production; consequently, the itching need for an alternative has been the subject of many studies and a growing trend in the milk industry. Plant-based milks have emerged as the most popular and suitable substitutes; they are beverages extracted from cereals, pseudo-cereals, legumes, nuts or seeds. Legumes, due to their high protein content have proven to be one of the successful options. One such legume is chickpea, which not only boasts rich protein content but also contains minerals, fibers, unsaturated fatty acids, bioactive compounds and antioxidant properties. Despite the limited studies available regarding the development of chickpea-based milk alternatives, this review draws upon insights from existing studies that have explored chickpea milk. It covers a range of topics, including the nutritional composition compared to other plant-based substitutes, the health benefits associated with bioactive and functional compounds, and the most novel methods employed in the extraction of non-dairy beverages.
Scientific review age and education differences in the paradox of gender job satisfaction in Serbia
Authors: Mihajlov Snežana , Mihajlov Nenad , Dašić Miloš
Published: January 2025

This study investigates job satisfaction differences among employees in Serbia based on age and education. In the literature, it is commonly believed that, despite their disadvantaged position in the labor market, women tend to report higher job satisfaction compared to men. However, this gender-job satisfaction paradox is considered insignificant for younger and highly educated employees, as they are believed to have higher job expectations due to diverse role models from early childhood or favorable job experiences throughout their careers. Considering these factors, the primary objective of this research is to explore job satisfaction disparities between younger and highly educated employees in Serbia, considering the existing gender gap in the labor market. The survey involved 268 employees from the three largest insurance companies of Serbia, and data collection took place in March 2023. A structured questionnaire was utilized to gather information. The research findings indicate that younger employed women display lower job satisfaction compared to men, particularly among those at the early stages of their professional careers. This contrasts with older female colleagues who exhibit relatively higher job satisfaction levels. Interestingly, the study also confirms that gender differences in job satisfaction are insignificant among highly educated employees. Overall, this paper contributes to the existing understanding of the gender-job satisfaction paradox.

Authors: Jemović Mirjana , Nikolić Milena , Milošević Andriana , Ristić Kristijan
Published: January 2025

The health crisis caused by the COVID-19 has, in addition to human lives, left far-reaching consequences for companies and the financial sector. Faced with a sudden lack of liquidity in the financial and real sectors, central banks in developed countries started purchasing various segments of assets. To this end, the European Central Bank (ECB) started purchasing securities only to calm the consequences of the pandemic crisis (Pandemic emergency purchase programme, PEPP). Since the initial purchase announcement worth 750 billion euros, the ECB offered a purchase worth as much as 1,850 billion euros under the program. The aim of the paper is to analyze the PEPP measures taken by the ECB to check whether they provided the necessary support to the banking sector in its smooth lending to the economy and citizens during the pandemic. In order to avoid a negative impact on monetary trends, in late March 2022, the ECB suspended the further purchase of securities under the PEPP, with the obligation to reinvest the due amount of the collected debt by the end of 2024.

Interactions between regulations, law, new technologies, and organizational policies in financial fraud detection: A case study of Serbia
Authors: Đorđević Aleksandar , Jevtić Boris , Deđanski Stevica
Published: January 2025

Digitization has led to the emergence of increasingly sophisticated forms of financial fraud, necessitating more advanced and integrated approaches for their rapid detection and prevention. This challenge prompted the authors to examine relevant literature and analyze current policies and measures for detecting financial fraud within the digital environments of organizations, with the aim of enhancing proactive prevention strategies. To this end, an online empirical survey was conducted with 118 executives and managers from Serbia during the first half of 2024, supported by the Association of Employers of Serbia and the Association of Managers. The research focused on the impact of new technologies, particularly AI, on the regulations and organizational policies related to financial fraud detection. Qualitative research, which utilized 12 predefined statements within each impact group using a five-point Likert scale, provided insights into the actual experiences and perspectives of participants concerning financial fraud as a distinct business, social, and economic issue. Multiple correlation approaches were employed to analyze the data. The outcomes suggest that all analyzed factors contribute to addressing financial fraud, with new technologies - especially those based on artificial intelligence - and corporate policies and strategies playing significant roles. Conversely, regulations have a lesser impact, attributed to their correctness, implementation, and enforcement. These findings enhance the understanding of the significance of taking a comprehensive approach to combating fraud, corruption, and financial crime, and highlight the roles of continuous technological advancements, employee digital education, and enhanced communication with the public and investors in building trust and maintaining a company's reputation.
Reference to the competence and specialization of authorities for the prosecution of perpetrators of high-tech criminal offenses
Authors: Dragojlović Joko , Petrović Maja
Published: January 2025

With the development of technology, especially the emergence and expansion of the internet over the past two decades, many traditional crimes have acquired new methods and means of execution, such as the use of computers, mobile phones, or other devices. In response to these new ways of committing crimes, the international community, within the framework of the Council of Europe, adopted the Budapest Convention in 2001, specifically addressing cybercrime. After ratifying the convention, the domestic legislator passed the Law on the Organization and Competencies of State Bodies for the Fight against High-Tech Crime, incorporating legal provisions from the convention. This law has not been significantly changed or amended since its adoption. However, the provisions in this law, especially in terms of jurisdiction, have proven to be inadequate and overly broad. The wide range of criminal offenses covered by this law has made it relatively ineffective and has overburdened the prosecutor's office responsible for prosecuting high-tech criminals. Moreover, the approach taken by the legislator in 2005, which concentrated jurisdiction in the High Public Prosecutor's Office and the High Court in Belgrade, is no longer justifiable in today's age of widespread technology, internet access, and social networks. This paper aims to provide a brief overview of the Budapest Convention, which served as the foundation for the adoption of national regulations, and to highlight the shortcomings and unsustainability of the legal solutions proposed by the domestic legislator when national regulations in this field were established in 2005.

Abstract: A larger segment of this paper is dedicated to the presentation of the major results of studying Saint Sava's Nomocanon to date, including the data about Serbian-Slavic transcripts, Serbian abridged version of the Old Church Slavonic language and examples of Moscow printed Krmčija in Serbian collections from 1649 to 1653. A brief overview is given of the observed traces of the application of Nomocanon and its impact on the life and consciousness of the Serbs in the Middle Ages. An important place among them is held by the realization of the idea of the symphony between the Church and the state, and their cooperation in regulating marital relations. The author thinks that Saint Sava's personality and acting, as well as Nomocanon within it, contributed to the formation of Serbian identity. The author looks at the importance of Saint Sava's Žiča Sermon on the True Faith, and the Synodicon of Orthodoxy, while drawing attention to the necessity of studying Serbian transcripts of the Pandects of Nikon of the Black Mountain.
Identity and stereotypes
Authors: Vuković Ana
Published: January 2025

The paper discusses the conceptual connection between identity and stereotypes. The first part of the paper includes theoretical determinations of the concept of identity and its main components. In the second part, stereotypes about Serbian identity are stated and the processes in which stereotypes arise and persist throughout history are discussed. It points to strategies of stereotyping, as well as to the dynamic element of identity. In the third part of the paper, a contemporary example of negative self-stereotypes about Serbs is discussed. In conclusion, the author states that identity can be a reflection of stereotypes, but stereotypes alone cannot encompass all elements of identity. Wondering about stereotypes is the only constant, since they are, among other things, a projection of the formation, preservation and (de)construction of identity in the future.

Authors: Dguidegue Yassine
Published: January 2025

With the prevalent use of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Gemini for educational purposes by students, traditional assignments that are easily answerable by automated systems must be revisited. This paper advocates for a paradigm shift towards synthesis-oriented assignments that emphasise transferable skills such as critical thinking, systems thinking, collaboration, and project building. By adapting assessment methods to align with the demands of an AI-driven era, educational institutions can better prepare students for the complex challenges of the future and equip them to navigate evolving educational landscapes with rigor and innovation. The paper focuses on revisiting assessment methods within the social sciences, specifically sociology, for college-level students.

This study aims to examine the role and implementation of Pancasila in three periods of government in Indonesia: Old Order, New Order, and Reformasi. Pancasila, as a state ideology, has undergone various changes in interpretation and application in accordance with the political and social dynamics that occur in each era. Under Soekarno's leadership in the Old Order, Pancasila was used as a unifying tool in the context of ideological pluralism, but faced internal and external challenges that threatened national stability. During the New Order period, Pancasila was used as a single principle used to strengthen political legitimacy, but it was often misused to silence criticism and opposition. The reforms brought greater political freedom and a more inclusive interpretation of Pancasila, but still faced challenges in overcoming radicalization, intolerance, and social disparities. This research concludes that although Pancasila remains relevant as the basis of the state, efforts are needed to actualize its values to suit the challenges of the times.
