Specifics of crime scene investigation of thefts at apiaries and damage to beehives
Authors: Bjelovuk Ivana , Ljuština Aleksandra , Kesić Tanja
Published: March 2024

All over the world, including Serbia, honey bees (Lat. Apis mellifera) are considered very useful insects, partly because of pollination, and partly because of the bee products that people use in their diet. To justify the research, the paper presents the number of thefts at apiaries in the Republic of Serbia and in California, USA. Also, due to the existence of various specificities in comparison with other types of criminal offences of theft, the paper proposed a model of conducting investigations in situations where the theft was committed at the apiary. When conducting an investigation, there is a whole series of specificities. A proposal for the organization of the investigation was given, and the need for the engagement of various subjects was pointed out, as well as a proposal for the education of individual team members, due to the need for specific knowledge of the investigation team. The paper also presents a case from court practice in the USA, which resulted in the proclamation of the bee as an endangered species, and which could serve as a positive example of legislation for bees. Given that in the Republic of Serbia, criminal destruction and damage of other's property is prosecuted by private lawsuit, the engagement of the police is evident only in cases of theft at the apiary. If the bee is an endangered species, this would imply the involvement of the police in all criminal acts related to bees. The paper also provides an example of a verdict from the USA that declared bees a protected asset. Also, the possibilities of applying modern technologies during the investigation of beehive thefts, the search of suspects to find the object of a criminal offence, as well as the proposals of preventive action aimed at preventing these crimes in the apiary were considered.
The problem of execution of prison sentences for briminal offenses of organized crime
Authors: Tanjević Nataša
Published: March 2024

The paper points out the specifics in connection with serving prison sentences in the Special Department of the Correctional Penal Institution in Požarevac intended for serving prison sentences for criminal offenses of organized crime, considering that prisoners there serve their sentences in a special regime, involving isolation from the general prison population, as well as special treatment. This is primarily due to the fact that the position of persons serving a sentence in a special regime is less favorable compared to those who are not in such a regime, because the rights of prisoners in the Special Department are not the same as the rights of other prisoners. Certain basic rights of those serving a sentence in the Special Department are denied or unjustifiably limited and certain provisions of the law are not in line with the system of execution of criminal sanctions embodied in the Law on the Execution of Criminal Sanctions adopted in 2014. Special attention is paid to the need to create an essentially effective practice in dealing with this category of prisoners in terms of treatment (work therapy), which is an obligation of the state and which must also be made possible for those who are serving their sentence in the Special Department, considering that this is the only way to achieve the purpose of serving a prison sentence.

Authors: Bognar-Pastor Hajnalka , Babić Andrea
Published: March 2024

Pear is one the most important cultivated fruit species in Serbia, after plum and apple with high-quality fruits. Pear scab is an economically important disease of pears all over the world where pears are grown, including Serbia. Knowledge on the life cycle is of key importance for the forecasting and control of this disease. Mills' table is used in the forecasting of the disease, similar to the case of apple scab. The control of this pathogen relies mostly on preventive measures. Challenges in contemporary agricultural production trigger a necessity to find new ways to control this disease, to introduce an integrated approach to the cultivation of this crop, in order to simplify protection, reduce production costs and preserve the environment to make production sustainable.
Pear psyllids (Hemiptera: Psvllidae) in Serbia
Authors: Jerinić-Prodanović Dušanka
Published: March 2024

Pear psyllids or pear jumping plant-lice, are the most important pests of this fruit. In Serbia, four species of pear psyllids are harmful to pear. Ali four belong to the genus Cacopsylla: C. pyri (common pear psyllid), C. bidens, C. pyricola (small pear psyllid) and C. pvrisuga (large pear psyllid). The first three belong to the subgenus Hepatopsvlla, have a larger number of generations per year and usually overwinters on the host plant, and C. pvrisuga belongs to the subgenus Thamnopsvlla, has one generation per year and overwinters outside the host plant pear. They can damage the pear directly, through nutrition by sucking out the juices, leading to chlorosis, necrosis and defoliation, and indirectly, by secreting "honeydew". Added to this damage is the role of C. pyri and C. pyricola as vectors of the phytoplasma "Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri", the cause of the disease called "pear decline".
Public debt of the Republic of Serbia in the new millennium: Analysis of the situation and future trends
Authors: Novović Milan , Lukić Aleksandar , Marjanović Nataša
Published: March 2024

The subject of research in the paper is focused on the analysis of public debt in the Republic of Serbia in the time interval from 2000 to the end of 2022. Observing the data on the movement of public debt in the new millennium, it is noticeable that there is a trend of its increase after the world economic crisis of 2008. The main cause of such trends is the excessive consumption of state authorities and the reduction of tax revenues, which is a consequence, first of all, of reduced economic activity due to global negative tendencies in certain years. The high level of public debt represents the main barrier for the economic development of the Republic of Serbia. Analysis of the data in the observed period indicates that the problem of public debt growth can be solved by increasing the gross domestic product and reducing public spending.

Risk of plan management of the Chinese economy
Authors: Skoropad Vladimir
Published: March 2024

Based on official PRC statistics and analytical data obtained from modern scientific and public research, it follows that the so-called Chinese economic miracle has ended. The rapid development of China was driven using cheap labor and the open-door policy for Western investment under the rules of basic market laws after Deng Xiaoping's 1977 reforms. All three factors have exhausted their resources. Further growth in living standards and education began to pose a danger to the Communist regime. Ignoring the laws of the free market economy, creating artificial plans for stimulating growth, repressing the entrepreneurs, sanctions pressure, an arms race, aggressive plans in the region and demographic changes inevitably lead to dangerous consequences - a slowdown in economic growth, debt load and capital outflow.
Preoperative risk assessment in pediatric anesthesia
Authors: Vlajković-Ivanović Ana , Pjevalica-Dragić Jelena , Simić Dušica
Published: March 2024

In general pediatric surgical population, the incidence of perioperative 30-day mortality is low. A child's physical status at the time of elective surgery and the presence of comorbidities can notably impact the perioperative risk. In order to provide quality care, preoperative evaluation should be undertaken in a timely and thorough manner. In preoperative period, it is highly important to be able to identify the patients who are at a higher risk, with the premise that early identification of these patients will allow for additional care to be provided, thereby minimizing possible complications. The main objectives of adequate preoperative assessment are to evaluate patients' readiness for the procedure, optimize patients' health status before surgery, reduce surgical morbidity, and help patients regain their usual functions postoperatively. Routine prescription of additional tests in children should be replaced by selective and rational prescriptions, based on the patients' history and performed clinical evaluation. Surgical and anesthetic complications can have adverse effects on patients' health, and they have also been proven to be associated with increased inpatient and postoperative costs. Each member of the surgical team plays a vital role in the safe care of pediatric patients. Well known risk factors for critical events in the perioperative period in pediatric population are as follows: ASA physical status, age, emergency surgery, and the existence of an underlying disease. This review highlights potential risks encountered in children and directs preoperative assessment towards selecting essential tests based on identified individual risk factors.

The nature of the lingual-methodological text in the teaching of phraseology
Authors: Macut Jovan
Published: March 2024

In 2019, the contents of phraseology became an integral part of the Teaching and Learning Program for the fourth grade of primary education (2019) and part of the learnings outcome. Considering the nature of phraseologisms as linguistic phenomena and the need for their interpretation within the context, it was concluded that one of the ways of learning in the teaching of phraseology could be realized by applying a lingual-methodological text. By looking at the methodological literature, it was noticed that the initial text is defined only in relation to the teaching of grammar and spelling. The aim of this paper is to examine the nature of the lingual-methodological text in the teaching of phraseology. For the purposes of the paper, an empirical research was organized on a sample of 20 students of the fourth grade of elementary school. A testing method was used, and the results were analyzed qualitatively. It was concluded that the lingual-methodological text in the teaching of phraseology takes over many elements of the initial text in the teaching of grammar and spelling, but also that it has its own special characteristics: it must not be resistant to the influences of contemporary culture; it would be appropriate if the characters who appear in it and who use/to whom the phraseology is addressed should be children; the phrase must be used at the end of the text and graphically-visually separated from the rest of the text; the initial text must have a three-part methodical apparatus -first part: two types of questions (reproductive questions that check the understanding of the context and questions related to the interpretation of the structure of phraseology), the second part -a question that makes mental generalizations, the third part -an assignment that checks the student's ability to recognize the correct use of a phrase in a new speech situation.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associated with tics: Case report
Authors: Čomić Maša , Ratković Dragana , Knežević Vladimir , Dickov Aleksandra , Ivanović-Kovačević Svetlana , Milatović Jovan , Šegan Darja
Published: March 2024

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents, with estimated global prevalence ranging between 5% and 12%. The frequency of ADHD comorbid with tics is significantly higher than expected. Children diagnosed with ADHD are much more likely to have chronic tics compared to those without ADHD. When ADHD occurs alongside tic disorders, treatment can be challenging. Through this case report, we aim to shed light on the unique challenges and potential treatment strategies for this comorbidity. A nine-year-old boy was admitted to the Department of Psychiatry due to hyperactivity, poor concentration, attention, and motor tics such as frequent blinking, grimacing, and head nodding. He was admitted for additional diagnostic procedures and possible initiation of differential psychopharmacotherapy. Psychological testing revealed that his overall intellectual achievement was average, but there was a discrepancy between verbal and manipulative abilities. During hospitalization, observation, comprehensive psychological testing, and the use of tests (SNAP-IV borderline scores) did not directly indicate the presence of hyperkinetic disorder. Therefore, a recommendation was made for a six-month follow-up and continuation of speech therapy and defectology treatment. Meanwhile, he was followed up by a psychiatrist, and based on psychodiagnostic assessments, attention deficit with hyperactivity was diagnosed. After ruling out contraindications, methylphenidate therapy was initiated at a dose of 18mg, titrated to 36mg after two months when a satisfactory therapeutic response was achieved. The introduction of methylphenidate had no significant effect on tics but did not worsen them either. Behavioral disorders and functional impairments associated with ADHD have negative impacts on academic, social, and family aspects. Unlike individuals facing only with Tourette's syndrome (TS), those with both TS and ADHD have more pronounced difficulties in areas such as planning, working memory, inhibitory function, and visual attention. Clinicians treating patients with tics and ADHD may consider using methylphenidate to address ADHD symptoms. However, it is important for clinicians to discuss this issue with caregivers when prescribing the medication and carefully monitor patients due to precautions listed in the drug information.

La religión del transhumanismo: ¿una nueva creencia para la humanidad?
Authors: Quevedo Martín David
Published: March 2024

Varios autores han realizado análisis sobre la relación entre la religión y la tecnología concluyendo diferentes interpretaciones, sin embargo el movimiento utópico transhumanista se presenta como un potencial desarrollo de nuestra empresa tecnocientífica que podría suponer una “superación” de la religión. En cambio atendiendo a la crítica que realizaron algunos pensadores al respecto, es posible observar una continuidad del proyecto transhumanista con ciertas corrientes herméticas y milenaristas. Para observar este fenómeno se investigan algunas de sus propuestas actuales y su posición general sobre el fenómeno religioso, así como la opinión de la religión contemporánea (principalmente desde el cristianismo occidental) al respecto del transhumanismo. El artículo concluye con un intento de aportar consideraciones alternativas al respecto de la relación entre la religión y el desarrollo tecnológico.
Αιτια y lenguaje: una reformulación de la causalidad dionisiana en la fenomenología de Jean-Luc Marion
Authors: Pizzi Matías Ignacio
Published: March 2024

El presente trabajo procura analizar la lectura de Jean-Luc Marion sobre el concepto de αἰτíα de Dionisio Areopagita, haciendo hincapié en su interpretación de una causalidad concebida desde un plano lingüístico. En primer lugar, proponemos una lectura general del concepto de causalidad en la tradición neoplatónica y su versión específica en la obra de Dionisio Areopagita. En segundo lugar, examinamos las primeras lecturas ofrecidas por Marion sobre la αἰτíα dionisiana a la luz del concepto de alabanza (ὑμνεῖν), tal como puede encontrarse en su temprano artículo “Distance et Louange” (1971), y su obra L´ idole et la distance (1977). En tercer lugar, estudiamos su interpretación de la obra dionisiana como una “teología pragmática de la ausencia” en De surcroît (2001). Finalmente, mostramos tensiones entre esta interpretación y diversas formulaciones de Marion sobre la causalidad en Étant donné y De surcroît.

Dispute Between Waqf Land Vs. Inherited Land (Analysis of the Judge's Presumption as Evidence in Case No. 174/Pdt.G/ 2017/MS.Bna)
Authors: Muhammad Husnul  , Siti Jum’ah
Published: March 2024

This research discusses the invalidity of the Deed of Replacement of Waqf Pledge Deed on land belonging to the heir who rejected APIAW whose final implication at the appeal stage was that the deed was null and void because contrary to the evidence presented by the plaintiff and the judge's considerations in the form of the judge's guess. The issue of concern is whether the judge's opinion as one of the judge's considerations at the cassation stage can be used as evidence in this case. The research method used is qualitative with a normative juridical approach. The results of the research show that judges can use their assumptions as evidence in their considerations when deciding cases with the assumption that the evidence presented by the plaintiff and defendant has not been able to convince the judge. However, in the end, based on the judge's estimates, it could be concluded that APAIW and the Certificate of Ownership (SHM) had no legal force (not inkracht).

Introduction: This research examines the effects of depression and anxiety on patients' recovery and quality of life following cardiac intervention, highlighting the frequent occurrence of these psychological conditions after ICU stays and intensive rehab, emphasizing the need for addressing pain perception and providing patient education and counseling. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used, and the research was conducted in Saudi Arabia from April 2023 to September 2023. All participants were from Saudi Arabia and had cardiac intervention. Questionnaires collected data: The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) questionnaire. Results: Among the 543 patients included who underwent cardiac intervention, 61.3% (n=333) were males, and 38.7% (n=210) were females. The most common types of intervention were percutaneous coronary intervention (30.8%, n=167) and coronary artery bypass grafting (26.7%, n=145). Notable comorbidities included arrhythmia (22.1%, n=120), diabetes (42.7%, n=232), high cholesterol (41.8%, n=227), hypertension (52.3%, n=284), a sedentary lifestyle (37.8%, n=205), and smoking (33.1%, n=180). Patients with depressive and anxiety symptoms were further categorized into different levels of severity based on their PHQ and GAD-7 scores, respectively. Conclusion: Our study indicated a high prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in this population. Factors such as comorbidities, demographics, and intervention characteristics were associated with the presence and severity of these symptoms.

Transhumanism as a legal category
Authors: Bielova Myroslava , Byelov Dmytro
Published: March 2024

The authors argue, transhutmanism in relation to human somatic rights is characterized, firstly, by the belief in the possibility of creative transformation of the human body and nature by the people themselves, and secondly, by the belief in the possibility and permissibility of using the latest technologies to improve the human body and nature, - thirdly, in the conviction of the need to use the latest technologies in order to solve a number of problems with human health. The very new possibilities of man, which arose as a result of scientific and technical progress, become the source of an anthropological crisis. The transhumanism movement appeared on the basis of this crisis situation. At the same time, innovations, innovative processes and innovative activities require a thorough understanding. This especially applies to innovations focused on drastic changes in the human body and nature. At the same time, on the one hand, we intend to spread biomedical technologies for the “improvement” of man, which also implies in the perspective of creating a just and regulated community, on the other hand, these technologies themselves become an obstacle to this goal, generating new forms of inequality and injustice.

Ukraine has committed itself to developing and implementing long-term measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a party to the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the state is obliged to make its nationally determined contribution to achieve the goals of sustainable low-carbon development of all sectors of the economy and increase the ability to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. The official announcement of joining the European Green Deal demonstrates Ukraine’s unwavering intention to overcome the challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation by transforming into a modern resource-efficient and competitive economy. In June 2022, Ukraine was granted the status of a candidate for EU membership. These measures should be implemented despite Russia’s anti-Ukrainian armed aggression and difficult economic challenges.

The purpose of this work is to determine the main directions of development of the legal mechanism for preventing climate change, which is being formed in the context of military realities, while ensuring that Ukraine strictly complies with its obligations under the European Green Deal.

It is concluded that when developing the conceptual legal framework of the environmental security component as part of the Strategy for Post-War Recovery and Development of Ukraine and the relevant Action Plan, as well as sectoral programs for the restoration of the State, an appropriate climate policy should be formulated, coordinated with Ukraine’s further European integration.

These include updated priority measures of the national climate policy, broad state support for environmental protection measures; digitalization of environmental relations; provision of funding for measures and investments aimed at developing competitive renewable generation and improving existing infrastructure, developing the potential of the hydrogen ecosystem, increasing the energy efficiency of buildings through the integration of renewable energy sources, decarbonizing insulation and cooling of buildings, ensuring the development of transport with low.

On February 24, 2022, a full-scale war is taking place on the territory of Ukraine. Millions of people lost their homes and jobs. Children, as the most vulnerable category of the population, were particularly affected. Thousands of children were left without parental care, and some were not handed over to their legal parents at all. These events necessitated the study of the chosen research topic. The article is devoted to the rights of children who became victims of martial law on the territory of Ukraine as a result of the attack of the Russian Federation. The article shows the number of children affected by the war. The general principles of protection of children’s rights, defined by the international legislation are considered. An example of international experience in the protection of children in martial law is given. Particular attention is paid to the protection of the rights of children born to surrogate mothers during hostility in Ukraine. Problems of realization of the rights of participants of the specified legal relations are defined. It has been established that the fulfillment of the terms of the contract by the surrogate mother does not guarantee the protection of the interests of the child. The problems of the procedure of registration and documentation of the birth of children are mentioned. The provisions of the Family Code of Ukraine and other special legislation on the legal regulation of the procedure for registration of the birth of a child have been studied. It is noted that in conditions of martial law in the occupied territories, and in cities where hostilities continue, registration is impossible. Changes in the national legislation, introduction for the period of martial law in the field of the specified questions are considered. The author examines the possibility of adopting children born to surrogate mothers, as well as those left without care or evacuated to other countries. Conclusions were made about the impossibility of adopting these children under the accelerated procedure. Emphasis is placed on the need to comply with the adoption procedure established by national law. At the same time, it was noted about the need to strengthen the work of consulates in order to register children who are temporarily in another state. It is proposed in Ukraine to create appropriate registers of potential parents who apply to Ukrainian medical institutions for the birth of children from surrogate mothers. In order to record information about newborns and facilitate the search for biological parents of their own children, it is proposed to use the application “Diia”. In addition to these conclusions, the author stressed the need for Ukraine to ratify the Rome Statute.

The article examines the organizational forms of cross-border cooperation of healthcare institutions. It has been established that currently, it is essential not only to restore the destroyed infrastructure of the health care system but also to restore the health of war victims, as well as the development of an appropriate health care system in connection with the integration of Ukraine into the European Union. It was determined that in such unclear and risky conditions, it is necessary to strengthen the ability to develop cross-border cooperation of healthcare institutions in Ukraine with the relevant healthcare institutions of neighboring states, member states of the European Union, namely: Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Romania through various available organizational forms. It was established that there are various organizational forms through which health care institutions can implement cross-border cooperation. It was determined that the use of such a form for cooperation as a European grouping of territorial cooperation on the external border of the European Union will be useful both for the exchange of experience of neighboring health care institutions of the member states of the European Union and health care institutions of Ukraine, as well as for their possible effective participation in programs and implementation of cross-border cooperation projects, which would be aimed at the development of the health care sector in order to provide the population with affordable medical care. It was noted that because of the events taking place due to the full-scale invasion of the russian federation into Ukraine, namely the devastating consequences for the health of thousands of people, then it would be expedient to create such a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation on the external border of the European Union with Ukraine. It was established when comparing the legislation of neighboring states, the member states of the European Union, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Romania, and analyzing the provisions of European Union regulatory acts regarding the activities of the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation, it appears that the list of participants of such a grouping may be somewhat wider.

The article analyzes the case law on the application of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on combating exploitation in the context of armed conflict. It is noted that the law of Ukraine on criminal liability contains two corpus delicti of criminal offenses relating to exploitation: human trafficking (Article 149) and child exploitation (Article 150 of the Criminal Code), but crime is moving forward and finding other forms of it. Also, in the context of armed conflict, such acts may be qualified under Article 438. Violation of the Laws and Customs of War of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and law enforcement agencies do not distinguish the category of “human exploitation” separately.

It is concluded that the number of registered criminal offenses under Article 149 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and convicted persons for human trafficking correlates, in particular, in 2023 as 1:8, and in 2022 – 1:7. It should also be noted that only 56 per cent of the registered criminal offenses under Article 149 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are sent to court with a guilty verdict. It is noted that child exploitation is characterized by a high level of latency due to unwillingness, and in some cases, unawareness of the unlawful acts committed against the victim (a person under 16 years of age).

It has been established that the typical criminological portrait of a person who has committed human trafficking is as follows: a man (89 per cent) aged 30 to 50 (67 per cent), with a complete secondary or basic secondary education (67 per cent), able-bodied, but who has not worked or studied anywhere (56 per cent), a citizen of Ukraine (72 per cent). This criminal offense is not committed: under the influence of alcohol or drugs; by organized or criminal organizations. Only 28 per cent of criminal offenses under Art. 149 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are committed as part of a group.

It is noted that the main problems arising in the prosecution of persons who have committed criminal offenses under Art. 149 and Art. 150 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are the imperfection of the rules, as well as the lack of uniform application in criminal cases of criminal offenses against the will, honor and dignity of a person.
