INDICATORS OF USER SATISFACTION OF SPA SERVICES IN SOUTHERN SERBIA
Authors: Pavlović Marko , Stojanović Radomir , Perić Marija , Tešić Biljana
Published: September 2024

Spas have a particularly important place in the tourism of the Republic of Serbia, especially when it comes to domestic tourists. In the last representative year for tourism before COVID˗19 (2019), they participated with 18% of the total number of tourist arrivals, i.e. with 28% of the total number of overnight stays. The key criterion for the selection of spas in this research is their territorial affiliation - the area of ​​the southern part of Serbia, distributed in two municipalities (Kuršumlija and Medveđa), two cities (Niš and Vranje), i.e. in four districts (Nišava, Toplički, Jablanički and Pčinjski). The mentioned spas differ significantly from each other in terms of tourist traffic, structure and quality of services. Apart from that, some of them certainly do not belong to the most visited and famous domestic spas. On the other hand, we are talking about very promising destinations that are constantly improving their offer, especially when it comes to Lukovska Banja. One of the key assumptions for improving the competitive position of each of the six selected spas is to harmonize their offer with the wishes and expectations of modern tourists, that is, the level of tourist satisfaction, which is also the subject of research.

Authors: Šegrt Slobodan , Ranđelović Aca , Đurić Dejan
Published: September 2024

The most important system for managing risks and measuring financial performance is the rating system. The rating system is considered an integral part of banks' current operations and their risk management culture. All banks try to highlight its affiliation with current affairs, in order to show the supervisors the necessity of its use for the purpose of determining the minimum regulatory capital requirements.The Committee in Basel for certain classes of exposure to risks recommends the use of a basic methodology where banking institutions use their own assessment of the risk of non-payment of debtors as an input, while assessments of additional risk factors are applied through the supervisor's standardized rules.This basic methodology is available for banking institutions that have the ability to satisfy their supervisors that they are capable of meeting certain minimum requirements of the banking system, the risk management process and the ability to assess its essential components.In addition to the basic methodology, advanced methodologies have also been defined that provide the possibility of internal assessment of risk components. Wide application of the aforementioned assessments is an important part of the dynamic and risk-sensitive IRB approach (Internal Rating Based). Thus, those banking institutions that have the ability to carry out a certain valid and quantified risk assessment can be identified and distinguished.Some specific models, procedures and processes of assessing the probability of non-payment in certain situations, through the obtained results, enable the management of banking institutions to analyze in detail the real picture of possible debtors, which ultimately provides a possible better analysis of their default.
CAUSE (GROUND) OF OBLIGATION OF THE CONTRACT ON REPRESENTATION IN SPORT
Authors: Vuković Zoran
Published: September 2024

In the law of the Republic of Serbia, the cause of contractual obligation has the significance of a general assumption of the validity of the contract. It represents an essential condition for the creation and survival of every contract. Accordingly, “every contractual obligation must have a permissible cause. The cause is impermissible if it is contrary to cogent rules, public policy, or good morals” (Article 51(1-3) of Law on Obligations). It is assumed that the contractual obligation has a cause, even though it is not expressed. The legal consequence of the non-existence or impermissibility of the cause is the nullity of the contract.
The subject of interest in this paper is the consideration of peculiarities regarding the cause of obligation of the contract on representation in sports, which distinguish it from other types of contracts.  For that purpose, special attention is devoted to the analysis a few characteristic cases of concluding contracts on representation in sport in contractual practice. It has been observed that existence of false (unreal) cause in the practice of formation of these contracts are not rare. Additionally, the unreal ground is, as a rule, the result of the will of the contractors themselves. The existence of a putative cause in contracts on representation in sports is difficult to imagine due to the mandatory written form prescribed by law. Therefore, the false cause in these contracts can be manifested in the form of a fictitious or simulated contract. The falseness of the ground is most often expressed in the form of a reduction or increasing of the obligations stated in the written contracts, compared to those that were actually contracted. It would be difficult to say that such payments, outside of legal payment flows, are an unusual phenomenon in modern sports.
Considering the above, it is necessary to take a position regarding the solution of the exposed legal problem from the point of view of national legislation. On the ground of the rules contained in the legislation of the Republic of Serbia, the author concludes that the existence of an false cause results in the nullity of all contracts that were used in the simulation operation. Therefore, the sanction would consist in the absolute nullity of the fictitious, simulated and dissimulated contract due to the circumvention of legal regulations, the mutual confiscation of the object of performance due to violation of cogent regulations and public policy, as well as compensation for damage caused due to the violation of legally protected interests of bona fide third parties.

Published: September 2024

In the modern era, networks play a crucial role in connecting individuals, organizations, and devices, enabling efficient communication, collaboration, and information exchange across the globe. They serve as the backbone of the digital age, supporting the growth of technologies such as the internet, cloud computing, IoT, and social media. The examination of Quantitative Structure Activity/Property Relationships (QSPR) to analyse the network architecture uses topological indices as its main instrument. The butterfly network is a type of interconnection network that follows a specific geometric structure. It consists of multiple stages, with each stage connecting nodes in a binary pattern. The connections between nodes form a butterfly-like shape, hence the name. The butterfly network provides efficient routing and communication paths between nodes, making it suitable for parallel computing and distributed systems. With the aid of sixteen irregularity indices, we will examine and compare three butterfly networks in this article. We will then plot the findings to see how they depend on the various parameters.

Authors:   Blockchain Laboratory of Agricultural Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology, Shouguang, 262700, China, Ren Xiaojun
Published: September 2024

A graph is a particular representation of a static network and labeling of a graph can be think of as automatic routing of data in a network topology. A visual representation of data in the form of a graph help us to look deep insight. The data science (e.g., Python Package: a computer programming language) uses graph theory concepts to study and analyze the networks. Analyzing these network is equivalent of finding a set of edges E′ for a graph G such that every vertex of G is incident with at least one edge in E′. Then E′ is called an edge-covering of G. A spanning tree of a connected graph is an example of edge-covering. A finite simple graph G is an (ad, d)-H-antimagic if the following three conditions are satisfied: G has an H-covering (H a subgraph of G), there exists a bijection α : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {1, 2, 3, . . . , |V (G) ∪ E(G)|} and the H-weights constitute an arithmetic progression with common difference d. The above said labeling is called super if α(V ) = {1, 2, . . . , |V |}. In this research article, we focused on studying super C3-antimagic labeling of line graph of a sun-let graph for several differences and C3-supermagic labeling of its disjoint union.

Authors: Noor Maha , Sivasamugham Lalita Ambigai , Subramaniam Geetha
Published: September 2024

Edible mushrooms produce a variety of bioactive compounds that could be used as alternatives to antibiotics. This review was aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of most common edible mushrooms. Extracts of oyster, button, shiitake and enokitake mushrooms showed inhibition against various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria with the latter being more susceptible towards the mushroom extracts. The zones of inhibition differed in the disk diffusion assay and the agar well diffusion assay as it was dependent on the type and the concentration of the extract used. Larger zones of inhibition were generally seen in the studies that used agar well diffusion assays as it used larger volumes of concentrated mushroom extracts. While many solvents were used to extract the bioactive compounds from these mushrooms, the ethanolic, methanolic and aqueous were the common extraction solvents used. The methanolic and ethanolic extracts also showed the highest zone of inhibition ranging from 8.3mm to 18.4mm indicating its effectiveness in extracting the bioactive compounds with antibacterial properties. Flavonoids, tannins, fatty acids, esters and lenthionine have been identified as some of the common chemicals in the mushroom extract that exhibit antibacterial effects on tested bacteria. However, further research on these compounds is required apart from the analysis on the possible combination of mushroom extracts which could exhibit synergistic antibacterial activities eventually suggesting the potential of the mushroom extracts as possible alternatives to antibiotics

Various plans for the treatment of COVID-19 were implemented by different countries. This research is a preliminary study to understand COVID-19 in Malaysia from the perspective of Chinese medicine and provide a coexistence plan. The methodology is to categorize the symptoms of COVID-19 in Malaysia under syndrome element and referred to the climatic environment toprescribe a tea that will draw up a life pattern to coexists with COVID-19. Considering that the symptoms of COVID-19 in Malaysia are fatigue, inability to swallow, and oliguria, early clinical symptoms are not obvious, but may lead to sudden death. The results showed that COVID-19 occurred in the hot and dry year of Gengzi (2020), and the increase in cases was evident in the fire and summer periods of the cold and wet Xinchou year (2021). Considering that the internal Fire is the most hurtful and the ‘Cold and Dampness’ will prevent the internal ‘Fire’ to be released to the outdside. Based on this, it is inferred that COVID-19 in Malaysia is an internal Fire, mixed with external Cold, and has been an epidemic of Cold and Fire. Based on the theory of medicine and food homology, a dose of tea is formulated to separate the internal and external parts, dispel the body surface, clear the internal fire, and smooth the mechanism to achieve coordination of the inside and outside. Through this compatible tea, it can be used as a food or as a medicine. In the two-and-a-half-day treatment plan, a total of 11 confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases were collected from July to August, all cases partial symptom elimination, no severe cases occurred, and the complete recovery rate was 45%.

Marriage or marriage will not take place without the presence of the opposite sex. It is sunnatullah that the nature of every human being is created in pairs. male and female for humans and male and female for animals. day and night for the time cycle. Marriage is one of the most civilized ways for humans to fulfill their biological needs. This method is what differentiates humans from animals.
A marriage or marriage will take place after going through several stages, such as starting with a sermon or engagement and then carrying out a marriage contract at a later date. Of course, this cannot be separated from the dowry that must be given to his future wife.
Talking about the issue of dowry, the Ulama' of the school of thought have views that are sometimes the same and sometimes different, one of which is Imam Abu Hanifah. The Ulama' of the Imam Abu Hanifah school of thought is of the opinion that the dowry stated in the marriage contract cannot be less than ten dirhams.
From this case, researchers are interested in conducting research on the standardization of marriage dowries. The problem to be answered is the standardization of the maximum dowry and the standardization of the minimum dowry according to Imam Abu Hanifah's perspective.

Authors: Haya Haya , Hosaini Hosaini , Afrita Juwika , Bustomi Muhamad Yazid
Published: September 2024

Imam Al-Ghazali, whose full name is Abu Hamid bin Muhammad bin Ahmad Al-Ghazali, is a prominent figure in Islamic philosophy and theology who was born in 450 AH near Thus, Khurasan, Islamic Republic of Iraq. His important work, "Al-Iqtisad fi al-I'tiqad" (Balance in Belief), provides an in-depth view of Allah's actions, while also being a critical response to Mu'tazilite rationalist thought. This research aims to analyze al-Ghazali's claims regarding Allah's actions and discuss his refutation of Mu'tazilah arguments which emphasize rationality and justice in Divine actions. Al-Ghazali argued that Allah has absolute freedom and his actions are not bound by human understandings of justice and rationality. In contrast, the Mu'tazilites argued that every action of Allah must be in accordance with the principles of justice that can be understood by human reason. This research uses text and context analysis to explore al-Ghazali's argumentative methods and their impact on the theological debates of his time, as well as to understand their relevance in Islamic theological discourse. The results of the research show that according to al-Ghazali, God can burden humans with something they are unable to do, which is different from the Mu'tazilah view which rejects this concept. The Mu'tazilites emphasized that God should not burden humans with something beyond their abilities, because this is considered unfair and destructive. This research provides in-depth insight into al-Ghazali's theological position in defending the doctrine of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah from the Mu'tazilite rationalist challenge

Folk Mathematics in Everyday Life
Authors: Dr. Abu Taher Mollah  , Dr. Amitabh Ranjan Kanu
Published: September 2024

Folk mathematics, also known as ethno-mathematics, explores the relationship between mathematics and culture, focusing on how mathematical concepts are developed and used within different cultural contexts. This field examines the interplay between mathematics and culture through six dimensions: cognitive, conceptual, educational, epistemological, historical, and political. These dimensions help analyze the socio cultural foundations of mathematical knowledge. Ethno-mathematics looks at how different cultures have created methods to calculate, infer, compare, and classify, reflecting their unique ways of understanding and interacting with their environment. This approach bridges formal mathematical concepts with cultural practices, making mathematical understanding more accessible by relating it to familiar cultural activities. Historically, mathematics has often been viewed as abstract and formal. However, recent perspectives emphasize that mathematics is also a product of human cultural activities. Ethno-mathematics reveals how mathematics influences and is influenced by various aspects of culture, including art, design, music, and natural phenomena. For example, mathematical principles can be seen in the patterns of art, music, and the natural world, such as the spiral of galaxies or the shape of seashells. The paper aims to explore how folk mathematics permeates different aspects of culture and highlights its significance in understanding both mathematical and cultural phenomena.

Authors: Buchaveckas Stanislovas
Published: September 2024

This article introduces some of the events, phenomena and facts of the Sovietisation (Bolshevization) of schools in annexed Lithuania in 1940–1941. The use of teachers in introducing the Bolshevik ideology to the society and pupils, the pseudo-elections to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 12 January 1941, the propaganda campaign for adult education, and other aspects of the research that have been examined or have just been brought up (including the aspect of adaptation to the occupants, cooperation with them, and resistance, which will be developed more in the final part of the research), are mainly illustrated by the examples of the archival documents that reflect the situation in the Šakiai County. An address to teachers of 19 November 1940 and fragments of other documents are published.
Reflection of the Implementation of the Soviet Health System in the Complaints of the Inhabitants (1944–1953)
Authors: Vaiseta Tomas
Published: September 2024

The subject of the article is health care. The development of a universal free health care system from the beginning of the Soviet occupation had to become, in conjunction with other social programmes, one of the cornerstones of the Sovietisation tools: on the one hand, these programmes made the whole population directly dependent on the benevolence of the state, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that free and “universally accessible” services helped the Soviet regime earn favour with many inhabitants. We could claim that industry based on industrialisation plans was the backbone of the Soviet regime, while the health care and social security systems were like the nervous systems branching out from the backbone and covering the whole of society. This article aims to examine how the implementation of the Soviet health care system in the first and most ruthless years of the occupation (1944–1953) looked from the bottom (how it was understood by the inhabitants and what problems they saw) and what this says about the Sovietisation process in this area. In order to examine this, the complaints of inhabitants sent to the Ministry of Health of the Lithuanian SSR will be studied, because it is from these complaints that we can learn not only about the control mechanism of the regime and the involvement of ordinary citizens in it, but also about some aspects of the daily life of ordinary residents.

This research intends to assess the influence of blockchain technology adoption on operational efficiency and consumer trust in digital enterprises. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized, transparent and safe properties, is predicted to have a favorable impact on several elements of business operations and boost consumer trust. The research method employed is a quantitative approach by collecting data through surveys and interviews with organizations that have incorporated blockchain technology. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to test the stated hypotheses. The research results demonstrate that the deployment of blockchain technology greatly boosts operational efficiency, particularly in terms of reduced transaction costs, increased processing speed, and reduced operational errors. Apart from that, customer confidence has also improved dramatically, notably in areas of openness, security and data protection. These findings demonstrate that blockchain technology not only contributes to enhancing the operational performance of enterprises, but also boosting the trust relationship between firms and consumers. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of blockchain technology has a considerable positive influence on operational efficiency and consumer trust in digital enterprises. Therefore, organizations working in the digital ecosystem are recommended to explore integrating blockchain technology as a strategy to boost competitiveness and consumer trust.

The objective of this paper is to conduct a conceptual review of the literature studies that focus on the link between application-based digital marketing methods and the development of consumer satisfaction and sales. The study's findings indicate that digital marketing is a marketing strategy that capitalizes on the advancement of information and digital technology. Implementing this strategy in a business must consider various internal and external factors to determine the suitability and most appropriate digital marketing strategy for maximum results according to the set objectives. Online systems are not constrained by time, and they have the ability to determine the timing, audience, location, and duration of their marketing campaigns. This presents a significant opportunity for business growth. Digital marketing provides a plethora of engaging, practical, and limitless content, and digital technology enables business owners to quantify the impact of their content on sales. Additionally, business owners have the ability to visit an unlimited number of online platforms, such as social media, web pages, and other accounts, which can attract loyal customers and increase profits. This paper reviews conceptually based on literature studies on the relationship between application-based digital marketing strategies in expanding sales and customer satisfaction. For further research, we can examine the efficiency of implementing digital marketing strategies and the factors that influence them so that they can be input and recommendations for business actors or companies in implementing digital-based and internet-connected marketing systems so that they can increase consumer satisfaction.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach in improving student learning outcomes on heat material at SMP Negeri 2 Juli. The research employs an experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design involving two groups of students: an experimental group that received instruction using the STEM approach and a control group that used conventional methods. The results show that students who participated in learning with the STEM approach experienced a significant improvement in their understanding of heat concepts, as reflected in the higher average post-test scores compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the STEM approach is not only effective in enhancing learning outcomes on heat material but also motivates students to be more active, creative, and critical in the learning process. Therefore, the STEM approach is recommended for broader implementation in science education at SMP Negeri 2 Juli.
