Ngrunggo vilage has abundant natural resources in the form of agricultural products namely cassava and corn. However, this potential has not been able to optimally increase the income of citizens. The women villager in the village already have sufficient skills to produce processed products from cassava. However, they still feel hesitant to develop the cassava chip business seriously. This community service aims to provide insight about entrepreneurship, as well as generate interest, motivation and increase entrepreneurship readiness for women villagers on Ngrunggo, Getas village, Playen district, Gunung Kidul regency. The method used is group counseling or group approach that is a counseling that is related to the target group counseling. The results of this service show that participants have an adequate interest, motivation and entrepreneurial readiness to run a business. Although the interests, motivations and readiness are still in the form of attitude, not in the form of action.

Published: July 2021

Business in the Resort & Spa business sector is growing rapidly. This increase in business in the hospitality sector reflects the demand for both local and out-of-town visitors. Visitor satisfaction is an important aspect of this service industry. Several studies also focus on the relationship between satisfaction and the behavior of workers in an accommodation. This is important because service delivery according to quality standards is also determined by the performance of the workers in it. This study aims to analyse the factors that influence Intrinsic Motivation. The research subjects in this study were the XYZ company in Manado which was engaged in Resort & Spa services and the objects in this study were 92 employees who worked at the company. This study uses Partial Least Square (PLS) with SMART PLS 3.0. Intrinsic Motivation variable is not influenced by employee expectations, then this study explains that employee expectations are influenced by work boredom. Furthermore, Intrinsic Motivation is influenced by Work Boredom.

 
Friction and Wear Properties of Automobile Brake Linings Containing Borax Powder with Different Grain Sizes
Authors: SUGÖZÜ İlker , SUGÖZÜ Banu
Published: July 2021

Borax which is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid, is used as a fire retardant and insulating material. The most important reac-tion in automobile brake systems is heat generation from friction. The heat gen-erated at the interface of disc and lining may cause deformation of the materials forming the lining. Therefore, phenomena such as lining wear and brake fade may be occurred. The aim of this study is to reveal the positive effects of borax additive on lining and experimentally examine the effect of grain size of borax on tribological properties. Lining is produced by mixing more than one powder materials and pressing cold and hot. The size and homogeneous mixture of pow-der materials affect the braking performance. In this study, the effect of using nano and micro sized borax with the same content on the lining performance was investigated. The produced linings were tested on pin-on disc tester. Wear, hard-ness and density tests were performed. The change in the friction coefficient was observed due to the temperature increase. The friction coefficient of the nano-containing lining showed a more stable result depending on the temperature.
COVID- 19 and Female Health-Care Workers: An Exploration of Challenges
Authors: Sidhu Shazaf Masood
Published: July 2021

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge unabated across the world, an important dimension to the entire health-care architecture is the challenge faced by female health-care workers. The risks and rigors involved in the care of Covid-19 patients are enormous both for female and male health-care workers and professionals. However, female health-care workers face more complex challenges like having to deal with work-life balance, inadequate representation in senior policy planning structures of health-care institutions and in many cases being at a disadvantageous position in situations of unpaid leave. This paper through in-depth interviews of female health-care workers will try to explore the multiple challenges they face and what can be done to ensure gender equity in the health-care architecture.
Equal Liberty – Questioning the Right to Freedom of Religion?
Authors: Klissenbauer Irene
Published: July 2021

This paper tackles the question of how to handle the phenomenon of “religion” by widely secularized judicial systems by analyzing the “Equal Liberty”-concept from legal scholars Eisgruber and Sager. While they assume that everything worth protecting is already covered by existing anti-discrimination laws, freedom of expression and association, and judge the right to religious freedom as itself discriminatory, this paper considers how this right can be part of an emancipatory human rights approach, which helps us think beyond an antagonistic relationship between religious freedom and other human rights.
In Search of Equal Justice (al-ʿadl bis-sawiyya)
Authors: Faridzadeh Ghazaleh
Published: July 2021

In the last century and a half, modern legal ideas and institutions have more or less found their way into traditional Muslim societies. The translation and transmission of foreign ideas, notions, and concepts into the Islamic context brought about a crisis, which has led to the evaluation of a field of discourse over modernity. The current paper seeks to explain the modifications of the legal language and concepts within the constitutional experience of the Islamic world during the 19th and 20th centuries, by reference to Reinhart Koselleck’s “space of experience” and the “horizon of expectation”. For this purpose, the essay deals with the development of the modern concept of “equality” and some related notions, such as “justice” and “fairness”, with a focus on selected source texts in Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman-Turkish.

Objective: To assess the results of the health condition management service provided for children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Methods: a cross-sectional study of the health condition management service offered to newly diagnosed children with SCD treated between January 2016 and December 2019 at the Blood Center in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The service was provided by a clinical pharmacist and an academic from the pharmacy course, with data from the initial consultation (start of drug use) performed in a pharmacist’s office and telephone contact carried out eight days later. All children seen at the service were evaluated, and their demographic characteristics, compliance with the beginning of the use of prophylactic drugs for sickle cell disease (phenoxymethylpenicillin and folic acid) according to the protocol of the Ministry of Health (within 90 days after birth), and documented reason in case of non-compliance. The doubts regarding the medications and the standardized interventions of the service to the children´s guardians were also described. The difference in the distribution of variables in the adequacy and non-adequacy group to the MS protocol was assessed using Pearson’s chi-square test (categorical) and Mann-Whitney (numerical). Results: In the SCD condition management service, all children together with their guardians (N = 298) had their first consultation with the pharmacist (initial dispensation day), however, only 185 (62.1%) participated in the pharmaceutical service by telephone (eight days after the initial dispensing). Approximately 88.3% of children started using drugs for sickle cell disease according to the protocol of the Ministry of Health; the most frequent reason for non-compliance was the late diagnosis in the complementary health system (22.9%). The guardians pointed out 63 doubts about the medications, highlighting their non-acceptance by the child (28.6%), and for all doubts standard pharmaceutical guidelines were provided in the service. Conclusion: It was identified that the health condition management service provided is relevant, since most of those responsible for the children with SCD had doubts about their medication after the administration of medications began. The pharmacist contributes positively to the pharmacotherapeutic management of SCD, promoting empowerment about the correct use of medicines.

Published: July 2021

This paper aims to examine export, import and trade intensity, export specialization index, Herfindahl-Hirschman index for bilateral concentration and diversification indices to analyze the specializations, structure and trends of deficit in bilateral trade between Bangladesh and China from 1995 to 2018 and policy recommendations in this regard. The results reveal that the gap of export and import intensity between Bangladesh and China is widening rapidly perennial. The export specialization indices expose very significant outcomes where among the analyzed 16 sectors; 6 sectors exhibit high specialization, 3 sectors demonstrate medium, 3 sectors exhibit low and the rest of the 4 sectors disclose no specialization for Bangladesh’s export to China. The findings of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) reveal that from 1995 to 2010 the export of Bangladesh to China concentrated within few sectors but from the year 2011 to 2018 the export has been reclassifying steadily into diversification. The overall analysis of the indices suggests the necessity to be improved of the level of intra-industry trade between China and Bangladesh. Moreover, emphasis should be given to the sectors having a high specialization that endure the capacity to narrow the trade deficit. Furthermore, the export baskets of Bangladesh to China require to be diversified. Hereafter, various measures and implications are also suggested in the policy recommendation for further improvement.

Published: July 2021

This paper ‘Demonetization Impact on Liquidity of Large Corporates in India’ focuses on the changes in the Liquidity pattern of the companies’ in-order to cope up with the Business Risk that emerged due to the unforeseen Demonetization Policy of the Government of India. The study aimed at finding the performance of various sectors on liquidity parameters during pre and post demonetization period. The study covered the companies listed in NIFTY 50 over the period of 6 years from 2014-2019. The methodology used for analysis is the longitudinal study under descriptive analysis as it involves the repeated observations of the same variables over a period of time. As the paper focuses on the top companies listed, though companies faced the uncertainty during that particular period of demonetization, they bounced back at the earlier than the MSME companies. Some sectors like FMCG, Pharmaceutical were immune to demonetization as it has an inelastic demand in the market and demonetization created giant opportunities for the software sector as the country has been shifted towards digitalization. Found short-term implications for the cash-intensive sectors but in the long run it helps in the growth of the economy, which in turn will have a positive correlation with the growth of companies.
What are the micro-level barriers to better nutrition service delivery and utilization? Qualitative evaluation of the beneficiary experience from the Integrated Child Development Services in India
Authors: Bhattacharya Ruchira , Ravi Joseph
Published: July 2021

Malnutrition
has remained one of the most pressing challenges to human development and a
rigid outcome of underdevelopment to respond to policies and interventions.
Although forms and predictors of malnutrition is extensively studied, relatively
less focus have gone to the micro-realities of policy implementation that can explain
the barriers to achieving better service utilization outcomes.

This
study attempted to fill this gap by undertaking a micro-level qualitative
analysis of the beneficiary experience from one of the largest nutrition
services in the world i.e., the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) in
India to gain insights on the social-environmental barriers to the
supplementary nutrition program.

Combining
qualitative phenomenological design with a retrospective design, the study
compared experience of current ICDS services to the services of its erstwhile
strategic regime called the ‘Dular’ using data from a 2018 study in Bihar. 30
beneficiary mothers including 12 mothers with children in both regimes, 10
front-line and erstwhile second-line workers and 2 UNICEF officials were
included in focus group discussion and one-to-one interviews.

The
analysis revealed that even if the ICDS budget allocation has increased, the strategic
changes in the program downscaled in terms of service personnel by removing
second line workers, this led to a deceleration in knowledge and practice gain among
the beneficiaries. The current-ICDS was also challenged due to non-universal
coverage in supplementary food delivery leading to exclusion of some children,
the hazardous work condition of the FLWs, low FLW capability, and incoherence
between the beneficiaries. Engagement of local governance was found to be an
enabler.
Impact of Automation on Employable Mass: A Critical Analysis on Current and Future Employees
Authors: Sharma Kshitiz , Shrivastav Ankit
Published: July 2021

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to
find out the impact of automation on the mindset of existing employees as well
as job seekers, the study is to know the perception towards the automation
whether it has a positive or negative impact and also to study whether
automation would pose a threat to upcoming jobs.

Methodology: The first phase of research
analogies was conducted by framing a questionnaire tackling specific points of
the research at hand. The questionnaire was then circulated among the existing
employees and also who were seeking jobs and then 131 prompt responses were
taken from the entire sample size to research upon form the entire population.
The application is used to conduct the research and the data is analysed using
SPSS version 22 and regression is used to conduct the analysis. The data has
been compiled in the keynote format and has been used to show a vivid
description of the entire raw conglomerate data and has finally been
extrapolated into a proper, finished informative product.

Findings: According to the result, the
impact of automation on existing employees is less than as compared to job
seekers (employable mass). Job seekers are mostly concerned about the
employment because as of now automation is limited to an extent but soon in no
time the industries would be transformed with fully automated process and the
jobs will be curtailed.
The Worth of SWOT in Digital Sales Planning
Authors: Solomon Daniel
Published: July 2021

Digital technology is transforming innovation at its
core stanchly in an unceasing manner (Schrage, 2009), (Klein, 2014) and (Tsolis,
2009).
In a swiftly rolling competitive digital setting the worth of SWOT analysis for
crafting a decent and complying sales strategic plan goes beyond a reasonable
doubt (Cates, 2019). Maintaining the
status quo might cause consequences that would bottleneck the advance of
digital sales and businesses in one or multiple ways (Cory, 2019). This paper examines
the worth of properly conducted SWOT analysis in sales strategic planning to
increase the effectiveness and competence of online business by expanding
volume of sales and augmenting customer satisfaction rates. The study analyses
data collected from secondary sources such as pertinent literatures, books,
academic journals, and best industry practices. The finding exhibits that SWOT
analysis plays a pivotal role in crafting a successful sales strategic plan
that helps taking conversant decisions to expand and advance the digital sale
volumes and operations.
Performance of Dynamic Optical Path Networks with Large-scale WBSS-based Optical Cross-connects
Authors: Le Hai-Chau , Le Anh Ngoc , Pham Thi Viet Huong , Dao Thanh Hai
Published: July 2021

In this paper, we have proposed a generalized large-scale optical cross-connect (OXC) architecture utilizing waveband selective switches (WBSS) for realizing future cost-effective, bandwidth-abundant and flexible optical networks. The developed architecture implements multiple WBSSs for each incoming fiber and small size wavelength selective switches (WSSs) for dropping optical paths while simply deploying 1´2 WSSs or 1´2 optical couplers for realizing the adding function. Thanks to the use of WBSSs, which are more cost-effective and simpler devices, the developed architecture enables a significant hardware scale reduction. The WBSS-based OXC, however, suffers from a limited routing capability, which relies on the inner node parameter (i.e., the WBSS number per input fiber) and the waveband granularity of WBSSs. We, therefore, evaluate the hardware scale requirement of our developed architecture in comparison with that of conventional WSS-based OXC. It is verified that a substantial hardware scale reduction can be achieved by using the proposed architecture, especially for high port count OXCs or when applying coarser granular WBSSs. Moreover, we also assess the performance of dynamic optical networks based on the proposed OXC. Numerical simulations show that the network offers a substantial necessary hardware scale reduction at the cost of a small performance offset comparing to that of the network using conventional WSS-based OXC.
Refinement of acyclic-and-asymmetric payoff aggregates of pure strategy efficient Nash equilibria in finite noncooperative games by maximultimin and superoptimality
Authors:   Polish Naval Academy, Gdynia, Poland, Romanuke Vadim
Published: July 2021

A theory of refining pure strategy efficient Nash equilibria in finite noncooperative games under uncertainty is outlined. The theory is based on guaranteeing the corresponding payoffs for the players by using maximultimin, which is an expanded version of maximin. If a product of the players’ maximultimin subsets contains more than one efficient Nash equilibrium, a superoptimality rule is attached wherein minimization is substituted with summation. The superoptimality rule stands like a backup plan, and it is involved if maximultimin fails to produce just a single refined efficient equilibrium (a metaequilibrium). The number of the refinement possible outcomes is 10. There are 3 single-metaequilibrium cases, 3 partial reduction cases, and 4 fail cases. Despite successfulness of refinement drops as the game gets bigger, pessimistic estimation of its part is above 54 % for games with no more than four players.
Incorporating heterogeneity of travelers’ preferences into the overall hostel performance rating

Published: July 2021

Hostels have become a very popular form of accommodation and their varieties have grown steadily in recent years. To ensure the sustainability of this business model, it is necessary to understand the main drivers influencing travelers to choose a hostel accommodation. For this purpose, we conducted an online survey using convenience sampling and purposive sampling techniques. Respondents' preferences to six hostel attributes (cleanliness, location, staff, atmosphere, facilities, and cancellation policy) were determined using discrete choice analysis. Sample results showed that the most important attributes are cleanliness and location, while the atmosphere is the least important one. However, widespread heterogeneity in preferences was observed, and cluster analyzes identified three distinct groups of travelers: “cleanliness sticklers”, “location demanders” and “party seekers”. Facilities and atmosphere were found to be very important attributes for particular clusters. These findings can help design a marketing strategy for each of the identified segments to ensure sustainable business. Finally, we have proposed a new approach to calculating the hostel overall rating based on attribute importance, which shows much better discriminatory power compared to the traditional average-based approach.

Kulit buah melinjo memiliki potensi sebagai pakan sumber energi untuk ruminansia, namun saat ini belum banyak yang memanfaatkannya. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengukur total digestible nutrient (TDN) ransum yang mengandung kulit buah melinjo. Dua puluh ekor domba betina dialokasikan ke dalam 5 macam ransum perlakuan yang mengandung 0% (R1), 5% (R2), 10% (R3), 15% (R4), dan 20% (R5) tepung kulit buah melinjo. Penelitian dilaksanakan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap, data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan uji Duncan. Peubah yang diukur adalah kecernaan protein kasar, kecernaan lemak kasar, kecernaan serat kasar, kecernaan bahan ekstrak tanpa nitrogen (BETN), dan TDN. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan memberikan pengaruh yang nyata (P<0,05) terhadap kecernaan lemak kasar, kecernaan BETN dan TDN dan tidak terhadap kecernaan protein kasar dan kecernaan serat kasar. Ransum yang menggunakan kulit buah melinjo sebanyak 20% (R5) menghasilkan kecernaan BETN yang paling tinggi (P<0,05) sama dengan perlakuan R3 dan R4. Sementara itu, lemak kasar dan TDN memiliki nilai yang paling rendah (P<0,05) diantara perlakuan, akan tetapi nilai TDN (70,17%) tersebut masih dalam kisaran kebutuhan domba. Kesimpulan menunjukkan bahwa tepung kulit buah melinjo sebanyak 20% dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pakan dalam ransum domba dan menghasilkan nilai TDN yang optimal.

This work presents results of a survey focused on understanding college students’ perceptions of the data economy in the US. Results from 113 students across two years of sampling indicate that most students have trepidations around data being collected, but less concern around educational data. Students’ responses exhibited limited understanding of laws and technical processes that govern and facilitate such data collection. Surprisingly, despite the pandemic moving most students online between year one and year two of the sampling, little variation was observed from year to year. Potential implications of these, and other, results and next steps for the survey are highlighted.

Pemikiran Al Adawi tentang Pendidikan Akhlak Anak Sebelum Kelahirannya
Authors: Hidaya Ardian Al
Published: July 2021

Pendidikan akhlak merupakan hal yang sangat penting dan harus menjiwai segala bentuk pendidikan. Jika tidak, pendidikan akan hanya merupakan sesuatu yang sia-sia, bahkan akan menimbulkan mad}arat di tengah-tengah kehidupan masyarakat. Mengenai sejak kapan seharusnya anak mendapat pendidikan khususnya pendidikan akhlak, ada beberapa teori. Islam telah mengajarkan pendidikan anak sejak dini. Sejak dini yang dimaksud adalah semenjak ia masih dalam kandungan, ada juga yang mengartikan sejak dini adalah pada saat prosesi pembuahan, bahkan ada yang berpendapat jauh hari sebelum kedua orang tuanya menikah.Tulisan ini mencoba mengungkap pemikiran Mustafā al-'Adawi dalam karyanya: Fiqh Tarbiyyat al-Abnā' wa Tāifah min Nasāh al-Atibbā, namun penelaahannya khusus pada bagian pendidikan akhlak sejak dini, yaitu pemikirannya mengenai peran hidayah dan doa dalam kaitannya dengan kelangsungan akhlak anak, konsepnya tentang pendidikan orang tua terhadap anak sebelum dilahirkan. Hasil penelitian terhadap karya al-'Adawi ini mengungkapkan bahwa pendidikan akhlak anak seharusnya sudah diselenggarakan sebelum anak itu terlahir dengan tetap “dibungkus” dengan ketauhidan yang tinggi. Karena tingkah laku, usaha dan kecenderungan orang tua, termasuk inisiatif dalam memilih jodoh yang saleh/ salehah, cara melakukan hubungan intim, ikhtiar orang tua selama anak dalam kandungan, bisa merupakan pendidikan yang juga berperan dalam membentuk akhlak anak di kehidupannya nanti.Kata Kunci: Pendidikan, akhlak, sejak dini

Multivariate statistical appraisal of regional susceptibility to induced seismicity: application to the Permian Basin, SW United States
Authors: Hicks Stephen , Goes Saskia , Whittaker Alexander , Stafford Peter
Published: July 2021

Induced earthquake sequences are typically interpreted through causal triggering mechanisms. However, studies of causality rarely consider large regions and why some regions experiencing similar anthropogenic activities remain largely aseismic. Therefore, it can be difficult to forecast seismic hazard at a regional scale. In contrast, multivariate statistical methods allow us to find the combinations of factors that correlate best with seismicity, which can help form the basis of hypotheses that can be subsequently tested with physical models. Such a statistical approach is particularly important for large regions with newly-emergent seismicity comprising multiple distinct clusters and multi-faceted industrial operations. Recent induced seismicity in the Permian Basin provides an excellent test-bed for multivariate statistical analyses because the main causal industrial and geological factors driving earthquakes in the region remain highly debated. Here, we use logistic regression to retrospectively predict the spatial variation of seismicity across the western Permian Basin. We reproduce the broad distribution of seismicity using a combination of both industrial and geological factors. Our model shows that hydraulic fracturing and/or hydrocarbon production from the Wolfcamp Shale is the strongest predictor of seismicity, although the physical triggering process is unclear due to uncertain earthquake depths. We also find that the proximity to neotectonic faults west of the Delaware Basin is another important factor that contributes to induced seismicity. This higher tectonic stressing, together with a poor correlation between seismicity and large-volume deep salt-water disposal wells indicates a very different mechanism of induced seismicity compared to that in Oklahoma.

Autonomous vehicles as cognitive agents will be an important use case of artificial intelligence in modern societies. Investigating how to increase acceptance and trust, we created a self-explaining car, informing passengers before actions in virtual reality. This study investigates the attitude towards self-driving cars with data from 7850 participants. We show how gender and age affect the attitude towards autonomous vehicles, resulting in female participants being generally less trusting of overall conditions than male participants and a general decrease of acceptance with increasing age. Surprisingly, a self-explaining car providing the passenger with crucial traffic information, although it has a positive impact on trust but influences the intention of using such a car negatively. Therefore, we argue for a highly individualizable in-car communication that meets the adversarial needs of different demographic groups to enable human-machine interactions that foster safe traffic behavior and increase trust and the willingness to use such technology.
Imitation-driven Cultural Collapse
Authors: Duran-Nebreda Salva , Valverde Sergi
Published: July 2021

A unique feature of human society is its ever-increasing diversity and complexity. Although individuals can generate meaningful variation, they can never create the whole cultural and technological knowledge sustaining a society on their own. Instead, social transmission of innovations accounts for most of the accumulated human knowledge. The natural cycle of cumulative culture entails fluctuations in the diversity of artifacts and behaviours, with sudden declines unfolding in particular domains. Cultural collapses have been attributed to exogenous causes. Here, we define a theoretical framework to explain endogenous cultural collapses, driven by an exploration-reinforcement imbalance. This is demonstrated by the historical market crash of the Atari Video Console System in 1983, the cryptocurrency crash of 2018 and the production of memes in online communities. We identify universal features of endogenous cultural collapses operating at different scales, including changes in the distribution of component usage, higher compressibility of the cultural history, marked decreases in complexity and the boom-and-bust dynamics of diversity. The loss of information is robust and independent of specific system details. Our framework suggests how future endogenous collapses can be mitigated by stronger self-policing, reduced costs to innovation and increased transparency of cost-benefit trade-offs.
The Role of Mutual Information and Semantic Similarity in Sentence Processing: The Case of Dangling Topic Construction in Chinese
Authors: Sun Kun
Published: July 2021

This study uses computational approaches to clarify the syntactic problems of dangling topic construction in Mandarin Chinese. Previous studies of topic construction in Mandarin Chinese have often syntactically analyzed the relationship between the topic and the rest of the construction. However, syntactic approaches have not clarified dangling topic construction, that is, constructions where the topic seems to dangle. That meant these previous studies had to implicitly make use of other approaches (such as pragmatic knowledge) to advance their arguments. The difficulty is that the concepts from pragmatics that these studies used were very vague and subjective. In order to tackle this problem, this paper explicitly computes the relation in dangling topic construction in Chinese using semantic similarity and pointwise mutual information. We propose three methods for computing the semantic similarity between topic and comment. We also collected experiential data using human ratings of the acceptance degree for a set of dangling topic constructions. The results demonstrate that pointwise mutual information and the three measures of semantic similarity can make good predictions about the data on the human rating of these dangling topic constructions. The event knowledge could be integrated with semantic similarity in order to strengthen the predictability of cognitive processes in understanding sentences. These measures play a similar role to that of semantic plausibility in sentence processing. This is the first time that PMI and sentence-based semantic similarity are employed to predict how humans comprehend sentences. The PMI and sentence similarity measures are likely to shed further light on the notion of topic construction and to help in seeing how Chinese speakers understand and process sentences. More importantly, this study creates a novel, effective and practical computational approach for predicting sentence comprehension/processing and syntactic analysis.

Mystified Alienation: A Discussion between Marx, Foucault and Federici
Authors: Fajardo Christian
Published: July 2021

This article explores Karl Marx’s critique of alienation. Specifically, I will argue that the concept of alienation is essential to understand not only how capitalism reproduces itself, but also to find alternatives to a regime of capital valorisation that has become mystified. In order to develop the analytical scope of this critique, I propose to discuss it together with the Foucauldian concept of disciplinary power and with the concept of patriarchal violence that appears in Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch. These two approaches provide a basis for the statement that the Marxist critique of alienation can be complemented and radicalised with the post-structuralist position, and with the feminist critique of capitalism.

Published: July 2021

The rural areas cover a significant part of the Montenegrin territory and play an essential role in its development potential. These areas have been exposed to various (more spontaneous and less planned) transformations throughout history, which has been reflected in their particular characteristics.
The three settlements, one from each region, were treated by analyzing identity attributes and complex issues of development and degradation of rural areas. This research aims to determine the reasons for the extinction of rural settlements and propose measures for preserving the existing and restoration of the missing values of their natural and cultural heritage. The planning procedures for recognizing and determining the criteria for the detection (today visible ones) and assessing the lost values of rural settlements are proposed at the end of this paper. Future planning and design processes could acquire the gained knowledge about these values and be employed through future development, through creating new planning and economic models for the rural settlements’ revival, protection, and improvement.
