SERTIFIKAT O DODATNOJ ZAŠTITI PREMA PROPISIMA EU I PATENTNOM PRAVU SRBIJE : Usklađenost propisa
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Miladinović Zoran
Published: November 2023

In the paper, the author discusses the institute of additional protection certificates for human and animal medicines and plant protection products according to EU legislation and Serbian patent law. The paper indicates that the certificate of additional protection was introduced by the institute of patent law due to the fact that, when it comes to drugs and plant protection products that are protected by a patent, they cannot be put on the market until the appropriate permission of the competent authority is obtained. As the period of examination of the novelty of the invention is extremely long and the patent as a subjective right begins to run from the date of submission of the proper application, when it comes to inventions of drugs and plant protection agents, the term of the patent is additionally shortened for the period of examination of the drug and plant protection agents. their non-harmfulness and obtaining permission to place them products into circulation. It is pointed out that the additional protection certificate is a product of the EEC member states, i.e. today's EU, which adopted the first Regulation on the introduction of additional protection certificates back in 1992. Today, the additional protection certificate for medicines and plant protection products is contained in almost all national regulations on patents. It is concluded that from the first regulation on the introduction of additional protection certificates in the EU to date, the same has been changed several times, and numerous new regulations have been adopted that very exhaustively regulate the conditions, procedure, content, duration and termination of the certificate of additional protection, all with the aim of making the institute of the certificate of additional protection as clear as possible the way. The EU Court also made its contribution in this sense with numerous rulings. It is concluded that the Serbian legislator in the field of patent law followed the legislative activity of the EU in the field of patent law, so that from the first introduction of the certificate of additional protection in the patent law of the FRY in 2004 until today, the patent law of Serbia is almost completely harmonized with the EU regulations in this field .

INSTRUMENTI KOJE CENTRALNE BANKE KORISTE U VREME FINANSIJSKE KRIZE
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Labudović Stanković Jasmina
Published: November 2023

Тhe paper is devoted to unconventional monetary policy instruments used by central banks during the 2007/2008 financial crisis. The experience of the central bank of Japan, which first started with these measures at the end of the 90s of the 20th century, was also presented, as well as the experiences of the FED and the ECB during the global financial crisis of 2007/2008. The main reason for the application of unconventional instruments is the fact that short-term interest rates are very close to zero, and even such low interest rates cannot stimulate consumption and investments. Because of the liquidity trap and ineffective conventional monetary policies, central banks resort to unconventional instruments.

ÍNDICE DE ABORTAMENTO NA ADOLESCÊNCIA NOS ÚLTIMOS 5 ANOS, NO AMAZONAS. A adolescência dentre os seus limites, segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde, está entre os 10 a 19 anos. Nesta fase encontram-se as primeiras descobertas, sociais, emocionais e físicas. Artigos revelam que é nesse período que eles estão em busca da autodescoberta, associada a sexualidade. O Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), juntamente com o Ministério da Saúde, levantaram dados que indicaram que 30% dos adolescentes já tiveram relação sexual. Mudanças constantes nesta fase da vida, geram eventos de despreparo, sem uma responsabilidade que consequentemente é gerada ao longo da vida, tendo como resultado os riscos de reprodução que uma mulher adulta teria. Os métodos anticoncepcionais acabam sendo descartados por esse grupo etário. No Amazonas, o registro para aborto, em 5 anos, foi de 4.720. O aborto é definido como a interrupção da gestação, uma forma de expulsar o feto em menos de 22 semanas, com menos de 16 centímetros, menos 500g, com a morte do produto de concepção.

Depression is a mental health condition arising from neurochemical alterations that can result from chronic stress. Its management is complex, requiring targeted pathways for intervention, however, the role of antioxidants is essential. Solanum aethiopicum (SA) is one of such antioxidant sources that may abate stress. This study, therefore, investigated the effect of SA leaves ethanol extract on the hippocampus and cerebellum in rats following chronic mild stress (CMS). Twenty-five male adult Wistar rats weighing 180-250g were assigned into five groups (n=5): Control (10mL/kg distilled water); CMS group (CMS-only for 28 days), CMS-SA200 and CMS-SA400 [CMS and SA leaf extract (at 200 and 400mg/kg respectively, from day 15-28)] and 400 mg/kg SA group for 14 days. All the treatments were oral, and the rats were tested for sucrose preference, learning and anxiety, and subsequently sacrificed. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were analysed, and the hippocampus and cerebellum were processed for haematoxylin and eosin staining. Results showed significantly (p<0.05) decreased sucrose preference, spontaneous alternation, open arm entry/duration and SOD, as well as increased (p<0.05) MDA and slightly enlarged hippocampal pyramidal and cerebellar Purkinje cells nuclei in the CMS-only group. Treatment with SA in the CMS-SA200, CMS-SA400 and SA400 groups significantly (p<0.05) reversed the anhedonia, spontaneous alternation and anxiety-like activities, while there was no significant (p<0.05) change to SOD and MDA levels compared with the CMS-only group. However, the enlarged hippocampal and cerebellar cells nuclei persisted, which may be physiological. In conclusion, SA reversed chronic mild-stressed-impaired cognition, anhedonia, and anxiety-like effects, whose action was better at the higher dose

The Rising Influence of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy in Depression Treatment
Authors:   Faculty of Foreign languages - Social sciences, Ba Ria - Vung Tau University, Vietnam, Vu (PhD) Huong, Xuan
Published: November 2023

Major depressive disorder is a common and recurring condition that necessitates ongoing advancements in treatment. The integration of mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioural techniques in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has shown promise as an effective approach. This review focuses on the current evidence regarding MBCT's efficacy in treating acute depression and preventing relapse. A comprehensive search was conducted across various databases to identify randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses from the last decade that evaluate MBCT. The results consistently indicate that MBCT is able to reduce current symptoms of depression and lower the risk of relapse to a similar extent as maintenance antidepressants. Additionally, neuroimaging studies have revealed functional changes in the brain that correlate with clinical improvements following MBCT. There is a growing trend towards expanding the delivery methods for MBCT, including online platforms and applications, while also optimizing traditional in-person settings. However, there are several limitations that need to be addressed. These include issues surrounding patient diversity, teaching quality, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility. To broaden the scope of MBCT and enhance its effectiveness in different care settings, further research on implementation is necessary. To summarize, MBCT has demonstrated consistent efficacy in treating major depression, but there is a need to continuously improve its accessibility and delivery methods as it becomes more widely available

Inequality of regional income with one another, hampers the development process in several regions and has not increased regional independence due to dependence on transfer of funds from the central government. This happens because the local government has not been able to optimize the source of local revenue, namely local taxes to increase local revenue. With this situation, the government seeks to simplify the local taxation system including tax types, tax rates. Regional independence is also expected to increase regional financial capacity which will have an impact on the recovery of the national economy after the pandemic. This research will be conducted normatively empirically, namely combining normative legal elements with the review of laws and regulations relating to the simplification of local taxes, which are then supported by the addition of empirical data or elements through socio-legal, statute and conceptual approaches. Based on the above, this research is expected to contribute suggestions for the implementation of regional tax simplification in Lampung Province so that the implementation of regional tax simplification can be optimal and have a positive impact on increasing regional financial capacity.

Published: November 2023

In the process of gradual warming, producers carry out the search of the crops, which develop high productivity of excellent quality grain in the difficult soil-climatic conditions. Grain sorghum is one of these crops. Similar to any other agricultural crop, its productivity depends on the effect of numerous factors including the elements of the cultivation technology. One of these elements is the application of mineral fertilizers. The purpose of the research was to study the effect of the plant mineral nutrition on the formation of the structure indicators of grain sorghum yield capacity in the conditions of the Right bank Forest steppe zone of Ukraine. The experiment was carried out in the zone of unstable humidity in 2016–2020. The trial scheme consisted in studying grain sorghum cultivars and various fertilizer rates; the trial was initiated with the method of regular replications, a fourfold replication was applied. Having analyzed the research results, it was found out that as the fertilizer rates increased, the element indicators of the yield structure also increased; in turn grain yield capacity of the studied cultivars was higher. However, the optimal fertilizer rate for the expected yield is the estimated one which will reduce the production cost of the output.

Authors:   Voronezh State Technical University, Voronezh, Russia, Lavrinenko Ya.B.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between innovation activity and the volume of research (R&D) in higher education organizations. The author conducts a correlation analysis between the volume of R&D per scientific and pedagogical worker and a number of indicators of universities, using data from the annual monitoring of higher education organizations. The results of the study show that the innovative activity of higher education organizations is closely related to the volume of R&D. A particularly high correlation was found between the income from R&D (minus budgetary funds) per scientific and pedagogical worker and the amount of R&D without a state assignment per NPR. The results confirm the relevance of studying this relationship and suggest that optimizing the management of innovation processes at universities can increase the efficiency of resource use and accelerate technological progress. However, the author emphasizes that for a more complete understanding of the relationship between innovation activity and R&D volumes, more extensive research is required.

Bootstrap Methods for Canonical Correlation Analysis of Functional Data
Authors: Yu Haoyu , Wang Lihong
Published: November 2023

The bootstrap method is a very general resampling procedure for investigating the distributional property of statistics. In this paper, we present two bootstrap methods with the aim of studying the functional canonical components for functional data. The bootstrap I method constructs the bootstrap replications by resampling from the raw data, while the bootstrap II algorithm samples with replacement from the principal component scores. Simulation studies are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed bootstrap methods. The method is also applied to the motion analysis dataset, which consists of the angles formed by the hip and knee of each of 39 children over each child’s gait cycle. Numerical simulations and real data analysis show the good performance of both bootstrap methods for functional canonical correlation analysis. Moreover, as measured by the mean error and mean squared error, the bootstrap II algorithm performs better in approximating sample canonical components than the bootstrap I method.

Published: November 2023

This article reviews the basic formation stages of festive ritual action in the cultural life of Kazakhstan. Generations to generations of Kazakh have always revered and highly valued their national customs and traditions. It is difficult to describe all the traditions and customs followed by Kazakh people in one scientific work, thus a brief introduction to stages of festive ritual actions, beliefs and customs are dealt with in this article. One of the main traditions of the Kazakhs, which has now become a feature of the national character, is hospitality. Hospitality, in Kazakh society, is considered the main duty - to receive guests from the bottom of the heart. The guest is the most important and most desired person in Kazakh society. It is customary to feed him the most delicious food and do everything to make him feel safe and comfortable. The primary aim of the research is to identify the cultural value of transformed traditions by reviewing the historical background of festive ritual actions. However, the national identities that served as a basis for the occurrence of generalized rules and principles of public relations (tradition), fortunately, are confined not only to representatives of the Kazakh people. Therefore, the basic stages of festive ritual actions formation and widespread authentic customs, and traditions of nomads in the Kazakh steppe are widely studied by authors.

Published: November 2023

In this modern twenty-first century almost all families like to spend time shopping in malls, shopping complexes, and retail stores. In all these shops people usually carry trolleys on their own in which they collect the desired items and then locomote the trolley to the billing counter where they have to wait in long queues, but nowadays there is a need to convert the old traditional trolley with a modern automatic trolley, which is exactly our project. The main idea of the project is to automate the process of shopping in such a manner that we will scan the products using RFID attached to the products and an RFID reader attached to the trolley as well as display the total amount on the Android mobile screen. We also have included a feature to send a message to the customer's registered mobile number. This process not only helps in reducing the waiting time in the long queues and moving the trolley automatically but also helps in managing and checking the budget while shopping which indeed provides a huge difference in their shopping experience as well.
Significant Emotions
Authors: Frawley Ashley
Published: November 2023

Significant Emotions is a piercing examination of the rising use of emotional signifiers in public debate and the rhetoric of an increasingly expansive array of social problems. Building on ideas developed in Ashley Frawley’s previous book, Semiotics of Happiness, it examines in detail the ‘emotional turn’ across the social sciences and the broader cultural rise of the ‘age of emotion’ and its influence on how we talk about and approach new social issues.

The book explores the rise of signifiers that have previously gained prominence as powerful explanations of nearly every social ill—from self-esteem, happiness, well-being, resilience and love to rage, stress, and trauma. Conceptualising the rise and comparative decline of various emotional signifiers as cycles of discovery, adoption, expansion and exhaustion, the book argues that rather than calling into question one or another of these signifiers, it is necessary to penetrate deeper to the underlying cultural currents that drive their adoption and contribute to their rhetorical power.

Through a systematic and in-depth exploration of the appearance of these trends in a variety of claims-making activities across academia, traditional and social media and social policy, Frawley argues that the ‘age of emotion’ does not represent a step toward a more enlightened and emotionally aware society. Rather, it signifies a preoccupation with emotional deficits and a firm belief that emotional disorientation ultimately underlies nearly every social ill. Emerging from the analysis is the conclusion that emotions have become key signifiers of broader cultural tendencies to affirm conservatism over progress, vulnerability over resilience, and the determined self over the free willing subject.
Traces of Aerial Bombing in Berlin
Authors: Florence Eloise
Published: November 2023

The destruction of monuments during the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020 shows how many nations are being forced to grapple with their national histories. It is clear that the things which make up our streets form a core part of our historical, political and cultural identity. Here, Eloise Florence turns to Berlin and the deeply entrenched English-language narratives about World War II to explore the complicated relationship between violence, place and memory in the Anglo-American consciousness.

Centered upon Teufelsberg – a hill in Berlin born from the rubble caused by Allied bombing – and other sites of violence across Germany's capital, this interdisciplinary study unpicks the use and abuse of area bombing and its cultural memory in Anglo-American audiences. Grounded in theories of new materialism and post-humanism, and drawing on extensive empirical and auto-ethnographic data, the issues addressed include: moving through urban landscapes as an embodied means of memorializing war and trauma; remembering destruction as a means to advance or challenge traditional war mythologies; and curation as an entry point for tourists to reconsider the impact of British and American aerial raids, including modern drone warfare.

This innovative volume shines an important light on both the dark legacy of the aerial bombing of Berlin and the ways in which we record and read violent histories more generally. As such, Traces of Aerial Bombing in Berlin will be an invaluable resource for all scholars of World War II, memory culture and public history.

The Parthenon Marbles Dispute
Authors: Herman Alexander
Published: November 2023

Why are we still arguing over the Parthenon Marbles? This book provides a new take on the history of those famous pieces of ancient sculpture removed from the Acropolis in Athens by Lord Elgin’s men in the early 19th century, explaining how they became the cause célèbre of the larger debate around cultural heritage and restitution now taking place. The subject is one that is currently embroiling museums, governments, universities, and the public at large.

The book offers a balanced and thorough account of the history of the Marbles from a critical perspective, while considering the legalities of their initial removal and the ethics of their retention by the British Museum. It incorporates the views of curators, museum directors, lawyers, archaeologists, politicians and others in both London and Athens. It explains why this particular dispute has not been satisfactorily resolved, and suggests new ways of seeking resolution – for the Parthenon Marbles, as well as for the many other cultural treasures held in museum collections outside their countries of origin. Importantly, the book offers a way forward for these disputes based on evidence of past practice, legal rules around the transfer of cultural objects and the role of museums in negotiating outcomes on the basis of international exchanges.

How are the evolving cases of cyber attack and breach as well as the actions of government and corporations shaping how cyberspace is governed? What object lessons are there in security cases such as those involving Wikileaks and the Snowden affair? An essential read for practitioners, scholars, and students of international affairs and security, this book examines the widely pervasive and enormously effective nature of cyber threats today, explaining why cyber attacks happen, how they matter, and how they may be managed.

The book addresses a chronology of events starting in 2005 to comprehensively explain the international security dimension of cyber threat and vulnerability. It begins with an explanation of contemporary information technology, including the economics of contemporary cloud, mobile, and control systems software as well as how computing and networking—principally the Internet—are interwoven in the concept of cyberspace. Author Chris Bronk, PhD, then documents the national struggles with controlling information resources and protecting computer systems. The book considers major security cases such as Wikileaks, Stuxnet, the cyber attack on Estonia, Shamoon, and the recent exploits of the Syrian Electronic Army. Readers will understand how cyber security in the 21st century is far more than a military or defense issue, but is a critical matter of international law, diplomacy, commerce, and civil society as well.
Daily Life in Nazi-Occupied Europe
Authors: Goldberg Harold J.
Published: November 2023

Daily Life in Nazi-Occupied Europe provides readers with information about political and military affairs, economic life, religious life, intellectual life, and other aspects of daily life in those countries occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II.

By the end of 1940, the Nazis controlled most of Europe, and in 1941 they invaded the Soviet Union to complete their mission of domination. The pattern of human resistance to the occupation was equally widespread—in every country, at least a significant minority of the population fought for human dignity. Why did so many risk their lives and refuse to accept defeat?

This book goes beyond the impact of the occupation on different European countries, examining that impact on individuals who, regardless of what country they lived in, faced a desperate search for food and the constant threat of death. This volume is intended to help readers to see the variety of struggles that contributed to the defeat of the oppressive occupation imposed by the Nazis. Readers will come away with an appreciation of the fact that there were as many types of daily lives as there were individuals under the occupation and that every person in the war had a unique experience.
Daily Life in the American West
Authors: Pierce Jason E.
Published: November 2023

Daily Life in the American West details the lives of American Indians, miners, cowboys, immigrants, and settlers who, together, populated the unique region that is the American West.

Daily Life in the American West combines the credibility and coverage of a history textbook with a close and nuanced view of the amazing peoples who struggled to make a home for themselves in a beautiful and evocative but harsh and unforgiving region. Included here are close descriptions of how a variety of peoples lived their daily lives, from nomadic Indian tribes to Chinese immigrants and from cowboys to city-dwellers. It also conveys how those individual lives are reflected in the sweeping changes that occurred in a century that saw the West become the most modern and diverse of all the nation's regions.

Readers will also find the expected cast of characters (gunfighters, American Indian leaders, cowboys, and so on) that have long captured the imagination of people around the world covered with an academic focus that tries to tell an accurate story of the West and its role in the United States. The book provides the scale of a textbook, but in a more-engaging format that should appeal to students and the general public.

Discovering Folk Music
Authors: Ledgin Stephanie P.
Published: November 2023

From Ani DiFranco to Bob Dylan to Woodie Guthrie, American folk music comprises a truly diverse and rich tradition—one that's almost impossible to define in broad terms. This book explains why folk music is still highly relevant in the digital age.

From indigenous music to Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen singing "This Land Is Your Land" side-by-side at the pre-inaugural concert for our first African American president, folk music has been at the center of America's history. Thomas Jefferson wooed his bride-to-be with fiddle playing. Stephen Foster captured the mood of our country in transition. The Carter Family adapted music from across the pond to Appalachia. Paul Robeson carried folk music of many lands to the world stage. Woody Guthrie's dust bowl ballads spoke to the common man, while Sixties protest music put folk on the map, following the Kingston Trio's hit, "Tom Dooley."

Folk music has evolved with America's changing landscape, celebrating its multi-cultural traditions. From Irish step dancers to rap, parlor songs to Dixieland, blues to classical, Discovering Folk Music presents the genre as surprisingly diverse, every bit the product of our national melting pot.

Demonstrating continuing relevance of folk music in our everyday lives, the book spotlights an amazing array of personalities, with special emphasis on the folk revival era when Dylan, Baez, Odetta, and Peter, Paul and Mary sang out. These and others influenced such contemporary performers as Shawn Colvin and Ani DiFranco. Those on today's "fringes of folk" scene continue to look to these deep roots while embracing alternative sounds.

Included are interviews with such legendary artists as Janis Ian, Tom Paxton, and Jean Ritchie. Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, also weighs in. Discovering Folk Music is a ground-breaking look at 21st-century folk music in our rapidly changing digital world, family friendly while ripe for rediscovery by the Woodstock generation.
Eating Disorders in America
Authors: Newton David E.
Published: November 2023

An indispensable resource for readers interested in eating disorders, this book summarizes their history in human civilization, assesses the current status of eating disorders in American society, and describes efforts for establishing effective prevention and treatment programs.

Although eating disorders have existed for centuries, considerable controversy remains as to the basic cause or causes of these disorders and their genetic, biological, and/or psychological factors. Eating Disorders in America: A Reference Handbook investigates these disorders, priming readers on the causes, symptoms, controversies, and treatments available. The two opening chapters of the book provide general background and a historical review of the existence of eating disorders in society. The remaining chapters provide resources the reader can use for further research, such as an extensive annotated bibliography, a glossary, and a chronology.

This book differs from others on the topic in that it provides both an expository section that provides information as well as a set of resources for further research. The book also contains a "perspectives" chapter in which writers describe and discuss their personal views on the subject of eating disorders. Together with the author’s expertise, these views add to the value of this book as a resource for eating disorder research.

Its 350 alphabetically organized entries—85 completely new to this edition—help readers make sense of a wide range of events, policies, and regulations by explaining their historical, political, and theoretical contexts. The new edition focuses most intently on the last two decades, highlighting the connections between the onrush of globalization, the surging stock market, and various monetary and fiscal crises of the 1990s, as well as developments, scandals, and pocketbook issues making headlines today.
