Economic benefits of animal pollination to Punjab agriculture
Authors: Sangeet Ranguwal
Published: November 2023

Indian Punjab is gradually becoming the promised land of diversified farming with beekeeping as an important component, as farmers are looking for ways to get out of the paddy-wheat cycle. With this consideration, the present study estimated that the contribution of animal pollinators toward state agriculture. The economic value due to pollination service (EVP) was Rs 1391.2 crores forming about a 2 per cent share in the EV of output from state agriculture. Among the entomophilous crops, the insect pollination was essential for 2; great for 3; modest for 4 and of little importance to another 4 crops. About 42 per cent of the non-animal pollination-dependent crops accounted for a major share in the EV i.e. 97.87 per cent of the total agriculture output of the state. The share of cereals was the highest in the EV i.e. 86.79 per cent followed by vegetables (5.50%), fruits (5.32%), cotton (1.69%), sugarcane (0.35%), oilseeds (0.32%) and gram (0.01%) while based on dependence rate, the EVP was the highest in fruits (49.78%) followed by vegetables (21.49%), cotton (19.85%) and oilseeds (8.88%) and there existed no EVP for cereals and sugarcane and gram. The crops having great dependence on pollination contributed the maximum (Rs 741.13 crore) i.e. about 53 per cent to the EVP and about 1 per cent to the EV in the state agriculture. There is a strong need to realize the potential of this segment and formulate crop and commodity-specific strategies for optimum utilization of animal pollination inputs followed by crop diversification to high-value commodities. Punjab agriculture faces challenges on the production front and increased production cost needs such as “micro concepts” with “macro-economic” impacts.

Authors: Meh Batool  , Hira Iftikhar  , Nahel Noor  , Alvina Haseeb
Published: November 2023

Changes in dietary habits and nutrient consumption combined with increasingly sedentary lifestyles, modernization and increasing urbanization has led to the emergence of many chronic diseases as a major new health threat to children. In Pakistan, there is a significant difference between the economic status, lifestyle and nutrition between government and private school students and between male and female children. Habits formed in early life are the major determinant of food choice later in life. Accordingly, this study was designed to assess, monitor, and compare the dietary habits of school going children from both sectors. The intake of junk food which includes snacks, soft drinks and ramen, fried and bakery items was more common amongst private school children than government school students because of the working parents. Whereas the intake of vegetables, less junk, wheat instead of white flour and the trend of daily breakfast consumption was more prevalent amongst government school children. In conclusion, dietary habits of children are affected by their parent’s education, economic status, availability, affordability, social influence and being prone towards dining out. Furthermore, that’s why we did nutrition educational counselling to the parents to improve their children’s dietary habits.

Authors: Amirarsalani Jahanbakhsh , Alilu Leyla , Hemmati-Maslakpak Masoumeh , Rasouli Javad
Published: November 2023

Background/Aims. High-quality bowel preparation is a prerequisite for colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of educational compilation through educational videos and visual cards on the quality of bowel preparation in colonoscopy. Materials and methods. The present study was carried out in Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia, Iran, 2018. In this experimental study, 180 colonoscopy candidate outpatients, who were eligible to participate in the study, were selected. Next, the participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 90) and a control group (n = 90). The data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. Before the colonoscopy, the intervention group was provided with the educational videos and visual cards. However, the control group received the usual education. After collecting the data, they were statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 16. The researcher used Chi-square, independent t-test, and logistic regression tests to analyze the data. Results. The bowel preparation score in the intervention group (8.46±0.90) was higher than the bowel preparation score in the control group (4.34 ± 2.09) (t178 = -17.10, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis controlled the effect of demographic variables and showed that the intervention significantly increased the quality of bowel preparation in the intervention group (odds ratio 141.70, p < 0.001). Conclusion. Education compilation through educational videos and visual cards was effective in increasing the quality of bowel preparation in the case of patients who received colonoscopy. Therefore, it is recommended that this kind of education be used during invasive diagnostic and treatment methods such as colonoscopy.
Perimandibular metastasis of rectal cancer: A case report
Authors: Džunić Miljana , Cvetanović Ana , Petković Ivan
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and metastatic disease is an important and frequent clinical problem. Metastases in the oral and maxillofacial region are rare, comprising 1-2% of all malignant lesions, and clinically resemble common benign conditions. Case report. A 59-year-old woman diagnosed with rectal cancer developed perimandibular lesion as a first sign of metastatic process. Metastasis manifested clinically during the curative intent treatment of rectal cancer (preoperative chemo-irradiation) as a rapidly growing tumefaction close to the mandible angle. After the biopsy and histopathological examination of the lesion that clinically resembled abscess, metastasis of rectal cancer was diagnosed. Incidentally, a cerebral metastasis was diagnosed as well. Although it was oligometastatic rectal cancer, surgical treatment was not indicated due to extensive infiltrative characteristics of the perimandibular lesion. The patient was treated with chemotherapy, with good clinical response. Biological therapy was not available at that moment. Cerebral metastasis was treated with stereotactic neuroradiosurgery with gamma knife. Unfortunately, the patient died from cerebrovascular insult. Conclusion. Lesions in the oral and maxillofacial region may be the first manifestation of metastatic disease. Since early diagnosis of metastatic process has prognostic implications, any new formation in the oral and maxillofacial region in a patient with colorectal cancer requires cautious observation and histological examination.
Right ventricular metastasis of uterine cervical cancer: A case report

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Cardiac metastasis of uterine cervical cancer diagnosed prior to mortality (antemortem) is extremely rare. Case report. A female patient 49 years old was brought to the Emergency Department of the Institute for Treatment and Rehabilitation Niška Banja in cardiac arrest, without a pulse and blood pressure. An electrocardiogram revealed sustained ventricular tachycardia, which was terminated by two DC shocks (100J + 150J). Anamnesis and medical history revealed that she had had her squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix removed and had subsequently received seven out of ten planned cycles of chemotherapy and twenty-eight cycles of radiotherapy. The patient was then transferred to the Coronary Unit, where cardiac ultrasound was performed. A homogenous mass measuring 31 x 50 mm was found in the right ventricle. In view of this, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed. This confirmed the presence of the tumor mass in the right ventricle. Unfortunately, only a month after being discharged from our Institute, the patient was admitted to the Clinic of Neurology due to a loss of consciousness. Computer tomography of endocranium was performed revealing metastatic brain lesions. The patient succumbed to the disease just a couple of months later. Conclusion. We presented a rare case of antemortem diagnosed right ventricle metastases in a patient with uterine cervical cancer. Setting the diagnosis in these patients is a challenge in everyday clinical practice since metastases can produce the clinical picture that masks the real etymology of uterine cervical cancer.
Theranostics and precision medicine In neuroendocrine tumors
Authors: Veličković Filip , Vlajković Marina , Stević Miloš , Topić Nina , Anđelković Tamara , Macut Đuro
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have increased expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR), where subtype 2 and 5 are the most common. Overexpression of the SSTR is an outstanding molecular target for inoperable and metastatic NETs that enables a unique approach of targeted diagnosis and treatment. In addition to SSTRs, neuroendocrine tumors also express other receptors that can be suitable targets for visualization by nuclear medicine methods. Aim. This review paper is focused on the most common radiopharmaceuticals and their molecular targets that are used today based on theranostic approach in NETs. Results. In conventional nuclear medicine, the most important diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals are somatostatin analogs (SSA) labeled with 111 In and 99m Tc, however 99m Tc has advantages over 111 In based on better physical characteristics and better performance. In recent years, highly potent theranostic pairs have been created for the imaging and treatment of NETs, which can strongly bind SSTR. Derivatives of 68 Ga-labeled octreotide are recommended for diagnostics and follow-up of NENs. The great advantage of 68 Ga radiopharmaceuticals is that identical compounds can be labeled with therapeutic radionuclides 90 Y and 177 Lu. Conclusion. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is a systemic molecular target therapy that has proven to be safe and very effective in controlling the disease and prolonging the survival of patients with advanced and inoperable NETs. With a negligible number of adverse events, this therapy is safe and should be administered to all patients who meet the necessary criterias, primarily overexpression of the somatostatin receptor type 2.
Is the act of mandatory and prolonged in-hospital quarantine a contributing risk factor for impaired mental health among individuals with confirmed COVID-19 infection?
Authors: Malobabić Marina , Stojanov Jelena , Stanojević Goran , Stević Miloš , Milošević Vuk , Stojanov Aleksandar
Published: November 2023

Background. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects mental health. Our study aimed to investigate whether the act of mandatory and prolonged in-hospital quarantine is a contributing risk factor for impaired mental health among individuals with confirmed COVID-19 infection. Materials and methods. A mixed survey-based cross-sectional study included 300 COVID-19 patients who filled Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales 21 (DASS-21), a 36-item health survey of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36), Insomnia Severity Scale (ISS), Impact of Event Scale (IES) with two subscales -Intrusion (IES-I) and Avoidance (IES-AS), and a questionnaire designed for research purposes. Results. Lower scores on IES-AS, higher scores on IES-I, and in-hospital quarantine are good predictors of high results on the Stress subscale. In-hospital quarantine, lower IES-AS scores, higher IES-I scores, and male gender are significant predictors of higher scores on the Depression subscale. Also, higher scores on IES-I as well as in-hospital quarantine are significant predictors of higher scores on the Anxiety subscale. The presence of insomnia was more pronounced in in-hospital quarantined individuals, while the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression were nearly twice as pronounced. Conclusion. Mandatory in-hospital quarantine of individuals with confirmed COVID-19 infection is a contributing risk factor for impaired mental health.

Introduction/Aim. Patient falls in hospital conditions are among the most common serious adverse events following a cerebrovascular insult at all stages of the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of falls in patients with cerebrovascular disease. Methods. A clinical case-control observational study was conducted in this investigation. The sample consisted of patients who suffered from cerebrovascular diseases and were admitted to the Special Hospital for Cerebrovascular Diseases "Sveti Sava" in Belgrade, in the period from February 3, 2018, to June 28, 2019. The Morse questionnaire was used to assess a fall risk. All statistical calculations were performed using the standard commercial software package SPSS, version 21.0. Results. Most of the subjects with a cerebrovascular insult (505 (90.0%)) had a high risk of falls, i.e. they had the Morse score values ≥ 45. The mean Morse score of the subjects in the study was 67.07 ± 21.08. The risk of falling, according to the Morse score, is the highest among subjects diagnosed with bleeding (95.7%: 96.7%) and left-sided neurological deficit (91.7%:90.8%) in both examined groups. Conclusion. It is of great importance to organizing training programs for patients, healthcare providers, and medical staff to prevent falls in hospital conditions.
Stimulative payroll system from the process theories of motivation point of view: A case study
Authors: Barjaktarović Sandra
Published: November 2023

This case study analyzes the existing characteristics of the performance measurement system and incentive payment in an international manufacturing company in Serbia, from furniture industry. The main aim of the paper is to understand the cause-andeffect relationship that the performance-based payment system has on employees and the organization, that is, to assess the real motivational power of rewarding employees with financial incentives. The aim of the paper is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of incentive pay systems from the point of view of process motivational theories that deal with the cause-and-effect relationship of motivation for work, performance and job satisfaction in people. A case study method was used. The existing practice was evaluated with a purpose-built instrument, based on assumptions derived from process theories of motivation. The results indicate that regardless of the high salaries of employees (up to 30% higher than other employee salaries in the market), there is still high employee turnover and absenteeism, reduced motivation, dissatisfaction and unethical behavior. The causes are inadequate and unrealistic goals, non-transparent performance measurement, frequent changes in teams, lack of work resources and technical training, as well as numerous operational problems in the company. After the identification and analysis of the current method of performance management, practical recommendations were given on how to overcome the observed shortcomings and increase the satisfaction and motivation of employees.

In the modern business environment tangible assets and traditional sources of competitive advantage tend to lose its strategic importance. The market value of most companies in most developed countries is based on intangible assets such as intellectual property, knowledge, innovation, etc. Financial analysts and investors increasingly recognize intellectual property as a key determinant of enterprise value and indicators of innovation - technical competence in the new era of economy based on knowledge. Intellectual property rights provide companies with the opportunity to differentiate their products through exclusivity, positioning in the existing markets or creating new ones, preventing competition from prevailing in a particular market and the reduction of risks and uncertainties relating to the introduction of new or improvement of existing products on the market. Intellectual property is a core of competitive advantage and business performance of the company. This understanding of intellectual property requires the efficient creation portfolio of intellectual property and the profitable use of one or more primary forms of intellectual property. By analyzing the data on the number of applications for the recognition of industrial property rights, we tried to make an assessment of the situation in the Republic of Serbia and determine the prevalence of certain forms of industrial property that have been registered in the last five years. The conclusion highlights recommendations for economic policies that promote the development and exploitation of intellectual property, contributing to the improvement of the competitiveness of companies and the entire economy.

Authors: Ngo Ha
Published: November 2023

In the context of the industrialization era, robots are gradually replacing workers in some production stages. There is an irreversible trend toward incorporating image processing techniques in the realm of robot control. In recent years, vision-based techniques have achieved significant milestones. However, most of these techniques require complex setups, specialized cameras, and skilled operators for burden computation. This paper presents an efficient vision-based solution for object detection and grasping in indoor environments. The framework of the system, encompassing geometrical constraints, robot control theories, and the hardware platform, is described. The proposed method, covering calibration to visual estimation, is detailed for handling the detection and grasping task. Our approach's efficiency, feasibility, and applicability are evident from the results of both theoretical simulations and experiments.
The Sokol society "Dušan Silni" in Zaječar and the Moravian Sokol Parish in Niš: Interrelations and permeations
Authors: Tomić Srđan
Published: November 2023

The Sokol movement in the Kingdom of Serbia had its roots in many small towns and district centers, and it brought together residents who wished to establish and advance their knowledge in the field of sports. First, interest in sokolism appears among high school students in places like Zaječar, Negotin, Leskovac, Prokuplje, Pirot and other places of the then Moravian Banovina, which was a fertile ground of pan-Slavic, free, and patriotic ideas that manifested through the Sokol movement at the beginning of the twentieth century. With the development of crafts, trade, and small industrial plants, mostly mill-food and brewery plants, young people were also employed. Of course, the emergence and development of Sokol organizations in those, at that time, smaller towns, could not have happened without synergy with enthusiasts and Sokol supporters from Niš, the capital of Moravian Banovina and Sokol Parish, which was created in 1920. It is interesting that sokolism in Zaječar at the beginning of the twentieth century was mainly under the influence of the Belgrade Sokol organization and that contacts with Sokol workers in the town on the Nišava River were not frequent. On the other hand, as early as 1919, the integration of Sokol societies and companies in the northeast of today's Serbia can be observed. More precisely, in the wide area from Požarevac to Kladovo and from Donji Milanovac to Knjaževac, the Sokols associated with Timok Parish, whose central place is in Zaječar.

The study aimed to identify the relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsivity) and Fundamental motor skills of children in primary school, and the problematic question was as follows: what kind of relationship that links between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Fundamental motor skills of primary school pupils?, and in order to reach the result, the study was conducted on a sample of 60 students of primary school children, using the descriptive correlational method. It was concluded that there is an inverse correlation (negative) between the dimensions of the scale of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsivity) and some Fundamental motor skills, by the increased acuity of this disorder the level of motor skills decreases and by the decreased acuity of this disorder the level of motor skills increases.

Physical education was of profound social and military significance/impact in terms of conducting (basic) combat training of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia Armed Forces in the period from 1945 to 1950. The subject of this research is the existing forms of physical education in the Yugoslav Army (YA) in the period from 1945 to 1950. The aim of the research was to indicate the existing forms of physical education through teaching activities, on the basis of relevant historical sources held in military archives and funds. In other words, the research aimed to present the first teaching contents and topics of physical education within combat training of the Yugoslav Army from 1945 to 1950, in order to enable their potential application in trainings today and direct them towards achieving the optimal physical abilities required when performing complex military tasks. A historical research method has been used in the paper. The directions of establishing and implementing the first forms of physical education in this period have been determined by the critical analysis of available archival military material, primarily funds from the Federal Secretariat for National Defence (FSND) and Yugoslav Army during the aforementioned period. The results of the research have shown that these existing forms of physical education in the Yugoslav Army made a significant contribution to the combat training process in terms of developing general physical skills of soldiers. Additionally, ideological significance was observed, since physical education was a mechanism unity in the formation of socialist society through mass, diversity and practicality. Physical education was an integral part of the physical education movement in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. By applying the existing forms of physical education through teaching activities within the military combat training, the Yugoslav Army became a driving and important factor in the rapid and mass development of this movement throughout the country.

Examining the impact of Ground Control point quantity on the geometric accuracy of UAV photogrammetric products formed using Structure-from-Motion approach
Authors: Nikolić Ratko , Brodić Nenad , Božić Branko
Published: November 2023

The positional and vertical accuracy of UAV aerial photogrammetry products generated using the Structure from Motion (SfM) approach depends on various factors, such as flight plan parameters, camera quality, camera calibration, the SfM algorithm used, and the georeferencing process. The influence of the quantity of Ground Control Points (GCPs) on the geometric quality of generated models and the stability of camera calibration parameters assessed through self-calibration in the block-aerotriangulation process was investigated in this study. Three software systems were used to process the collected UAV photogrammetry images: Pix4D Mapper, Agisoft Metashape, and Trimble Inpho UASMaster. Standard statistical quality assessments were employed to assess the accuracy of the block-aerotriangulation. The research findings indicate that augmenting the quantity of GCPs enhances model reliability and decreases the RMSE values of vertical deviation on the control points. The RMSE values of vertical deviation on the check points for all three used software systems converged to approximately twice the value of the average spatial resolution. Additionally, the RMSE values of positional deviation on check points converged to the value of the average spatial resolution.

The development of aviation has set technological requirements that have conditioned the emergence and development of flight instrumentalization. The practical application of aviation for military and civilian purposes, the development of air traffic and technology in general, increase speeds, altitudes and flight lengths, while aircraft are becoming larger and more complex. From light wooden constructions and open cockpit, today planes fly long distances in all weather conditions, which brought the pilot and the construction of the aircraft to the endurance limit. At the beginning, during the pioneer period, flying was completely in the hands of the pilot and he made all the decisions based on his experience and psychophysical abilities. With the complexity of aircraft and flying, technological, ergonomic and safety conditions have an increasing influence on piloting technique. This paper describes the technological conditions and the development of instrumentation and flight automation systems. The application of the digital cockpit establishes many positive standards, but also raises questions about the further direction of aviation development. A special review describes the use and development of one of the basic instruments in the cockpit -the compass. This instrument is still, in an almost unchanged form, in the modern digital cockpit -glass cockpit.
