Linguistic Features of Code-Mixing and Code-Switching: The Case of Educated Ogba Bilinguals
Authors: Ohia Ben-Fred
Published: July 2023

Code-mixing and code-switching are known to be universal phenomena among bilinguals. Not until recently, code-mixing/code-switching was seen as evidence of “internal mental confusion, the inability to separate two languages sufficiently to warrant the description of true bilingualism”. However, studies have proved that code-mixing/code-switching is not a manifestation of mental confusion but a rule-governed behaviour among bilinguals, which is motivated by various socio-psychological as well as linguistic factors. This paper seeks to explore and analyse the linguistic features in code-mixing and code-switching. It also investigates and finds out that in more cases, code-mixing and code-switching motivate the bilinguals in Ogba as they borrow words from other languages, especially English, to make speech utterance or writing. This to a large extent minimizes struggling with words among Ogba bilinguals because they easily code-mix/code-switch to continue speaking and/or writing. It has been observed that code-mixing/code-switching is more predominant among the Igboid/English bilinguals (which Ogba belongs to) compared to any other linguistic group in Nigeria. This paper explains why the Ogba people code-mix/code-switch a lot by looking at the history of the Ogba language contact with English, the socio-psychological factors as well as the linguistic factors/features that contribute to the predominance of code-mixing/code-switching among educated Ogba/English bilinguals. The study investigates the linguistic features of code-switching that include intra-sentential code-switching, inter-sentential code-switching and code-switching at word, phrase and clause levels, which are examined in both male and female Ogba/English bilinguals in conversations. It is found that intra-sentential code-switching (37.15%) is the highest code-switched area, and code-switching at word (31.21%), clause (21.54%) and phrase (6.42%) levels, being a part of inter-sentential code-switching, are the successive areas.

Published: July 2023

creation of an online tutor finder application, called "Project Learn", aimed to address the difficulty in finding a tutor for any subject in today's fast-paced world. To achieve this, the study utilized a developmental research design to create an application that connects students with qualified tutors. Students can view a tutor's background and the subjects they teach before choosing the best fit for their needs. To evaluate the system's technical quality, a survey was conducted with 20 end-users and 10 IT-experts. The survey was based on ISO 25010 software quality standards and included components such as functional suitability, reliability, usability, performance efficiency, security, compatibility, portability, and maintainability. The survey results indicated that both the end-users and IT-experts rated the system above 3.26, which equates to a "very acceptable" grade. This suggests that the system's overall internal and external performance exhibited consistency and met the compliance requirements. However, there is still room for improvement to better serve the needs of its users. The success of the development and assessment of the online tutor finder application demonstrates the potential impact it can have in connecting students with qualified tutors. The study's use of a developmental research design and adherence to ISO 25010 software quality standards ensured the technical quality of the system. With further improvements, the application can continue to make a significant impact in helping students find the right tutor to achieve academic success.
Docking studies of some pyrazole containing compounds in the cyclooxygenase-2 active site
Authors: Savić Jelena , Antonijević Marija , Crevar Milkica , Brborić Jasmina
Published: July 2023

Whereas nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and diclofenac, inhibit both cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxigenase-2 enzymes, selective inhibitors target cyclooxygenase-2, which is overexpressed in inflammation, but also in cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Potential cardiovascular and hepatic side effects of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors have limited their use. The development of selective and safe cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors remains a high priority in drug discovery. Based on the structure of previously investigated newly synthesized b-hydroxy-b-arylpropanoic acids, two groups of compounds were designed: analogs in which one of the benzene rings was replaced by a pyrazole, while the carboxyl group was retained, and amides of b-hydroxy-b-arylpropanoic acids with pyrazole. The compounds were docked into the 3D structure of the catalytic site of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 using AutoDock Vina 1.2.0. and the obtained interactions were compared with the interactions of celecoxib, a selective inhibitor. The amides had lower binding energies than the designed acids, which makes them attractive target compounds for synthesis and further examination.
Psychosocial impact of malocclusion: Is there gender difference
Authors: Džemidžić Vildana , Redžepagić-Vražalica Lejla , Jelesković Azra , Tiro Alisa
Published: July 2023

Background/Aim: The aim of the research is to assess the psychosocial impact of malocclusion, to determine the relationship with the degree of need for orthodontic treatment, and to assess the influence of gender on this relationship in adolescents. Material and Methods: A total of 100 subjects, aged 12 to 18, participated in the research. The subjects had no previous orthodontic treatment. The assessment of the need for orthodontic treatment was performed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), namely the Dental Health Component (DHC) and the Aesthetic Component (AC). The psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics was assessed using the PIDAQ questionnaire. Results: The total PIDAQ score, as well as its 4 subclasses, dental self-confidence, psychological impact, social impact and aesthetic concern have a positive correlation with the categories of the IOTN. The psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics is similar in boys and girls, except that girls showed a slightly greater aesthetic concern due to the presence of malocclusion. Conclusions: The present malocclusion has a psychological and social impact on the individual, but it also negatively affects his dental self-confidence and aesthetic concerns. The results of the PIDAQ questionnaire can guide the orthodontist to the patient's basic problem and thus provide guidelines for orthodontic treatment.
The influence of ultrasonic impact peening (UIP) on the mechanical properties and fatigue life of the AA1100 alloy
Authors: Mahmood Adil , Kokz Samer , Mohsen A.M.
Published: July 2023

The effects of ultrasonic impact peening (UIP) on the mechanical properties and fatigue strength of the AA1100 alloy were compared to those of the untreated alloy. The UIP technic is widely used in a variety of applications to increase the hardness, tensile strength, surface characteristics, and fatigue life of metals. Due to the plastic deformation of the surface layer, the UIP process generated compressive residual stresses in the metal's upper layers. Extensive investigations were carried out in order to determine the significant effect of the UIP process on the mechanical characteristics and fatigue life of the metal. According to the results of the experiment, the percentage of increase in ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield stress, and hardness were 8 %, 7.05 %, and 9 %, respectively. A substantial improvement in fatigue life of the AA1100 alloy was seen as a result of this treatment when compared to the untreated samples. The results demonstrated that the UIP is a reliable approach for generating compressive residual stresses in the AA1100 alloys, which may have a favourable influence on the fatigue behaviour of the alloys.
Business incubation as a tool for transforming MSMEs in the Tanzanian tourism sector
Authors: Batinoluho Ladislaus
Published: July 2023

The failure of the majority of start-ups in the Tanzanian tourism sector is mainly due to the inadequate business incubation services in the country. Through qualitative method, this study suggests a model for establishing tourism incubation centres in Tanzania with a pilot in Arusha, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. An initial three-year implementation needs to be considered and it will require strong collaboration and cooperation among different stakeholders, working together to support and grow tourism MSMEs in the country. This study will guide the adaption of the business incubation approach in the tourism sector. Business incubation will contribute to a broader goal of establishing, sustaining and developing tourism MSMEs that will lead to economic prosperity in Tanzania. The study is an early wake up call for policy and decision makers to consider adapting business incubation as a tool for transforming MSMEs in the tourism sector in Tanzania.

Ethical dilemmas regarding the right to re-use questionnaires
Authors: Milić Marija , Dotlić Jelena , Stevanović Jasmina , Filimonović Jelena
Published: July 2023

A questionnaire is a predetermined set of questions used to collect data of interest. The use of questionnaires in biomedical sciences has been continually rising in recent years, both in epidemiological research and in clinical work. Questionnaires are created by experts in the relevant field who use data from the literature. Using a previously created, validated and published questionnaire saves time and resources and enables comparison of results with those of other studies in which the questionnaire had already been used. Any measuring instrument or material found on a website, journal or other medium of expression is assumed to be copyrighted, and it is the legal and ethical responsibility of the researcher to obtain permission to use, modify and/or reproduce that measuring instrument. When requesting permission, it is necessary for the researcher to introduce themselves, state the institution where they work and carefully explain the reason and purpose of requesting permission to use the questionnaire and permission to translate and validate the questionnaire in a new population. After obtaining permission to use the questionnaire/ scale, the ethical issue of its adequate translation and cultural adaptation and its revalidation in the new population in which it is applied arises. It is necessary to save the obtained permission for the use and/or reproduction of the instrument, whether it is a copy of the correspondence or a contract, as proof that the researchers have the legal right to use the instrument. Not obtaining the appropriate permission to use the questionnaire/scale can result in non-publication of the research results, as journal editors will not publish work unless they are provided with proof of the permission to use the questionnaire, as well as withdrawal of the work from publication, or fine
Contribution of the Serbian military medical service to global medicine in 1914/15
Authors: Čukić Goran
Published: July 2023

Serbia was unprepared for a new war, which came on suddenly, but which Serbia was forced to launch in 1914. The Government had been plagued by corruption scandals. When it comes to spotted typhus, what the Serbian Military Medical Service had at its disposal in 1914 was the practice of "separating the healthy from the sick". In addition, "total war" postponed the rational spending of money for the army's medical needs. All this caused, as is well known, poor accommodation of the wounded and the sick, lack of medication, hygienic products etc. The lack of accommodation was handled by transporting wounded soldiers to the country's interior. Lice were considered pests, so in the midst of the war tribulations they were "bearable problems" as there were far worse hardships to endure. Numerous factors led to the spread of the outbreak, among which the leading factor was that, unbeknownst to medical science, lice were of epidemiological importance for the spread of spotted typhus and relapsing fever. The failures of palliative measures increased the number of the sick and forced the government to seek medical assistance from the Allies. Once the teachings of C. Nicolle were accepted, that focused the efforts of the medical teams on delousing, not only in the affected patients prior to their hospitalization as the medical practice of the time demanded as a routine matter of hygienic pest control. The uncertainty of the arrival of foreign medical missions and the inability to put the newly recognized epidemiological significance of lice infestation to proper use by delousing in factory-made autoclaves launched a wave of engineering ingenuity in Serbia. A coordination body of the Parliament and Government was formed on 13 February 1915 named the National Disease Containment Board, to manage the outbreaks. In those days, once foreign missions had been invited, in only two weeks the Serbian Military Medical Service made a scientific contribution worthy of global medical attention. The emergency caused by the growing epidemic led the doctors to improvise. Already in early March, the "central disinfection station" was commissioned, repurposed from an old brick factory and furbished with an oven with dry hot air, to which a bathroom had been added. It had a daily capacity of 1200 users, whose clothes were deloused in the chamber while they were bathing, so that they could put them back on again. Without the use of the bathroom, it could process 4-5000 items of clothing and bedding. It was the most valuable method world-wide to contain and prevent the spotted typhus in the upcoming 28 years, until the emergence of DDT.

Kidney transplantation is the therapeutic method of choice in end-stage kidney disease. Preoperative preparation includes a number of examinations, with the radiologists being responsible for accurate imaging evaluation. Computed tomography (CT) is the preferred imaging modality for preoperative renal evaluation and it is the gold standard. Radiological evaluation includes insight into all focal and diffuse diseases of the renal parenchyma, as well as reporting about anatomy, anomalies, the collecting system, and vasculature. A careful insight into the vascular structures of the kidney is possibly the most important step because it helps the surgeon prepare for potential difficulties before the procedure, therefore reducing the risk of potential complications. This is why radiological evaluation of the potential living kidney donor is essential for successful transplantation. The key to accurate radiological reporting is knowledge of surgical techniques and of the difficulties that surgeons may face during the kidney transplantation procedure.
Effective deterrence: When is deterrence the "right" strategy for achieving national interests?
Authors: Kopanja Mihajlo
Published: July 2023

The research goal of this paper is to determine the circumstances in which the strategy of deterrence is the "right thingˮ for the security of the state. In the pursuit of realizing their own interests - from minimum survival to maximum hegemony, states (in theory) have a wide range of possible ideal-type strategies. However, this does not mean that all possible strategies will be equally effective for achieving national interests. This paper strives to determine which conditions should be met in order for the implementation of deterrence to be the most effective strategy, that is, the "right thingˮ for the security of the state. For this purpose, the work is organized in three parts. In the first unit, the concept of strategic effectiveness is elaborated. In the second part, the author provides a brief overview of deterrence as a strategy, presenting the key theoretical-conceptual elements of this strategy. The third part of the paper presents the conditions that must be met in order for the deterrence strategy to be effective, i.e. the "right thingˮ for realizing national interests. Finally, in the final segment of the paper, the author looks at the case of the Republic of Serbia, considering whether deterrence is an effective solution in modern circumstances.
Systemic environmental protection and determinants of sustainable management
Authors: Đurić Zorica , Ilić Biljana
Published: July 2023

The primary and most significant component of all activities in modern global civilization is environmental protection. Its endangerment as a result of rapid economic and technical advancement is increasingly becoming an ecological crisis and a danger to the continued existence of life on Earth. Synergy at all levels and figuring out how to implement and attain a high level of environmental quality, is the actual challenge facing contemporary society. A planned, integrated, and holistic systemic approach through the determinants of sustainable management is required because the environment is a complex system and, on the other hand, its protection involves a complex field of action with many interconnected aspects, elements, measures, and activities. The aim of the paper is to conduct an analysis of the relevant studies in order to raise better understanding on the complexity and significant determinants of the environment, its systemic functioning, and the importance and necessity of its protection within a planned, integrated, and holistic approach and environmental management based on the principles of sustainable development. In this approach, the authors contribute in a modest way to the important topic of long-term environmental protection and preservation, particularly in light of leaving a legacy for future generations.
DIPLOMASI MARATON INDONESIA TERHADAP ISU RAKHINE STATE
Authors: Simanjuntak Triesanto Romulo
Published: July 2023

The conflict in Myanmar was triggered by discrimination against one of the ethnic minorities, namely the Rohingya living in Rakhine State. In 2017, the conflict in Rakhine State broke out again when a military operation carried out by the Myanmar military attacked the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), one of the armed militia groups in Rakhine State. This military operation caused the Rohingya ethnic in Rakhine State to become victims. The Indonesian government made a quick move by performing marathon diplomacy. One of the implementations of marathon diplomacy carried out by the Indonesian government is to directly visit Myanmar and meet with several Myanmar authorities who are responsible for the incident. The Indonesian government also went to Bangladesh, visiting the Rohingya refugee sites with the largest number of refugees. This Indonesian marathon diplomacy approach bore fruit because the Indonesian delegates were later well welcomed by the government of Myanmar and Indonesia also received support from the United Nations (UN) and other countries for its humanitarian action in Myanmar.

Disparity in the Use of Mass Media among Youth Population in Nepal
Authors: Thapa Shyam
Published: July 2023

This paper assesses disparities in the use of mass media among the youth population in Nepal. Data for this cross-sectional analysis were extracted from the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey undertaken in 2016. The total sample of 8,010 included four population sub-groups – single and married males, and single and married females, ages 15-24. The forms of mass media assessed included reading the newspaper, watching TV, listening to the radio, or using the internet. Binary logistic multiple regression was applied to assess the net effects of covariates on the use of specific forms of mass media. Of the four types of mass media, TV was the most commonly used (52%), and newspaper and internet were the least used (14%). Radio was used by 34%. Any of the four types of mass media was used by 72%, while only 1% of youth used all four types. Household wealth status, followed by the educational background of the youth and their region of residence, were the main factors significantly and strongly correlated with the disparity in mass media use. Compared to single or married males or single females, married females were the least likely to use any of the forms of mass media. The results show that despite rapid growth in mass media over the last 25 years in Nepal, great disparities still persist in the current use of mass media among the youth population, particularly based on gender and marital status. The findings underscore the need for media-based interventions to be sensitive to both the gaps related to gender and marital status among the youth population in Nepal.

The number of studies exploring different aspects of Machine Learning (ML) in K-12 contexts has increased, making it imperative to synthesize existing research. This study presented a comprehensive review of the current state of research on ML education from K-12, drawing attention to both current research hotspots and gaps in the literature that should be addressed by future studies. We looked at 45 articles published at conferences and in journals that focused on certain aspects of K-12 ML education via these four lenses: curriculum development, technical development, pedagogical development, and teacher training/professional development. We found that (a) there is a lack of ML materials for K-8 and informal settings, (b) more research is needed on how ML can be integrated into subject domains other than computing, (c) most studies focus on pedagogical development, (d) there is a lack of teacher professional development programs, and (e) more evidence of the societal and ethical implications of ML should be considered in future research. Although the study's authors note several caveats and suggestions for further study, the findings are nonetheless applicable for improving the quality of research in the rapidly expanding field of K-12 ML by educating teachers, researchers, and instructional designers.

Use of political technologies during election campaigns in Ukraine
Authors: Burdiak Vira , Konet Andriy
Published: July 2023

The article emphasizes that during the conduct of elections, political technologies occupy a central place, in the form of their component part – electoral technologies. They differ from all others in their focus on including socio-psychological mechanisms that regulate the behavior of voters. In a narrower sense, electoral technology can be called a certain method of fighting for the electorate. The authors analyzed a significant number of political technologies and found that the most commonly used are technologies for creating a political image; political PR; electoral technologies; political marketing; branding; technologies for regulating political conflicts; lobbying technologies, etc. Various approaches to determining the typology of electoral technologies are considered, in particular those based on the principles of legislation and ethical norms (“white” technologies that do not contradict the current electoral legislation; “gray” technologies that come into conflict with the norms of public morality and the accepted method of conducting an election campaign, but do not provide for direct violation of the law; “black” technologies that violate the current legislation) and the division of electoral technologies according to certain criteria is proposed. It is concluded that the application of such criteria as the scale, nature of motivation, scope of implementation, territorial feature, method, intensity and strength of influence on the electorate, options for their application make it possible to study the essence of electoral technologies more deeply and take a fresh look at the issues of their classification.
onditionality, essence and parameters of the research of informal political institutions
Authors: Moszczyńska Aneta
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to considering the problems of conditionality, essence and parameters of the research of informal political institutions. It is stated that informal political institutions are quite important in structuring the political process and cover many issues that are not in the field of the operationalization by formal political institutions. The author argued that informal political institutions are characterized by different causes of conditionality, different sources of institutional change, different mechanisms of changes and modification (in the framework of formation and functioning) and variable rates of change. As a result, it is proved that various causes of conditionality, evolution and development, as well as the causes and mechanisms of formation of informal political institutions, determine the heterogeneity of the latter, and therefore they can be structured.

Features of the appointment, responsibilities and roles of prime ministers, ministers and civil servants in the governmental cabinets of parliamentary democracies
Authors: Panczak-Białobłocka Nadija
Published: July 2023

The research is dedicated to clarifying the parameters and features of the appointment, responsibilities and roles of prime ministers, ministers and civil servants in the governmental cabinets of parliamentary democracies, including on the example of European countries. This is actualized by the fact that governmental cabinets in parliamentary democracies, regardless of their type, i.e. majority or minority ones, are typically party cabinets, and thus inter-party and intra-party relations significantly determine the characteristics of appointment, responsibilities and roles of governmental cabinets’ members and the fact of parties’ interest or disinterest in forming and/or supporting governmental cabinets of one type or another. The study is con- ducted in a comparative manner, in particular by comparing the specifics of the appointment, responsibilities and roles of prime ministers, ministers and civil servants in majority govern- mental cabinets and minority government cabinets.

Published: July 2023

Fenomena penciptaan sebuah karya dalam dunia seni karawitan Bali dapat terinspirasi dari karya hingga pola yang telah ada sebelumnya. Salah satu pola yang dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber inspirasi adalah pola gineman. Gineman merupakan sebuah melodi bebas serta putus-putus yang dimainkan oleh instrumen gender pada bagian awal lagu. Pola gineman yang hanya digunakan sebagai awalan merupakan hal yang menjadi kegelisahan bagi penata. Maka dari itu dibuatlah sebuah karya karawitan dengan bentuk musik eksperimental dengan judul Megineman sebagai ungkapan kegelisahan dari pola gineman yang telah ada sebelumnya. Media yang digunakan untuk mengungkapkan karya ini adalah gamelan genta nada. Untuk dapat mewujudkan karya ini digunakan tujuh metode dalam penciptaan sebuah karya seni yaitu nyelehin, nuasen, nuangin, nyujukin, nureksin, mayunin, dan nabuhin. Hasil dari proses kreatif yang telah dilakukan adalah terciptanya sebuah karya karawitan dengan durasi 12 menit, terdiri dari tiga bagian yang disajikan melalui rekaman video dengan format mp4 dengan judul Megineman.
