Authors: Milinović Milica , Tepšič-Ostojić Vesna
Published: January 2025

Introduction/Objective Problematic internet use is a psychophysical disorder that involves withdrawing from social interactions, a buildup of tolerance, affective disturbances and pathological social relationships. Neurobiological and pharmacological data suggest similarities between the pathophysiology of opiate addiction and pathological gambling. The objective of this research was to compare the sociodemographic characteristics of people with Internet Addiction Disorder, people who are addicted to opiates and the control group. Based on the Big Five model, psychological and psychopathological characteristics are then compared to determine their expression levels in all three groups. Methodology The research was carried out as a cross-sectional clinical study based on the methodological approach that included applying comparative methodology, using assessment scales and a psychological and psychiatric battery of tests for personality assessment. The sample included 300 subjects: 100 subjects with opiate addiction, 100 subjects showing symptoms of Internet Addiction Disorder, and 100 subjects of the control group. Results The results of this research indicate that personality traits such as empathy, extroversion, pleasantness, conscientiousness, openness and cooperation are expressed to a lesser extent in people with Internet Addiction Disorder and people addicted to opiates compared to the control group. Conclusion The obtained results serve to suggest that Internet Addiction Disorder should be included in the diagnostic category of behavioural addictions.
Public commemoration in service of nation, state and dynastic identity-building
Authors: Marković Anita
Published: January 2025

This paper deals with the analysis of public festivities organized in Belgrade on the occasion of the centenary of the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising, and their role in the construction of national, state and dynastic identity. Celebrations of jubilees and anniversaries can be seen as a special type of public festivity; often-solemn commemorations of certain events or personalities organized in certain years. Their commemorative nature also has the potential for them to be powerful propaganda tools in the construction of national, state and dynastic identities. When considering the socio-political situation at the time of the centenary of the First Serbian Uprising in 1804 in the country, largely metered by the dynastic change of 1903, the organization of the commemoration of this anniversary as an official state ceremony - the highlight of this being the coronation of Petar Karađorđević - necessitated, in the form of an ephemeral spectacle, the symbolic revival, reinterpretation and reconstruction of the past, in order to emphasize the legitimacy of the power of the new ruler and dynasty and to encourage promotion of this in a broad range of media.
A tale to be chanted and told: James W. Wiles' Villa Cambridge on Senjak
Authors: Tutić Ognjen
Published: January 2025

This paper discusses the circumstances of the construction and architecture of the villa of James W. Wiles at Temišvarska 12 on Senjak, which was built between 1925 and 1926 according to the project of engineer Slobodan Krajcer. Conceived in the style of Academicism, it was realized as a representative city villa at a time when the establishment of Dedinje, Topčidersko Brdo and Senjak as residential areas with highlevel family dwellings was still in its infancy. Special attention has been paid to the fact that the villa was built for James W. Wiles, a professor from the University of Cambridge, who worked as a lecturer in English language and literature at the University of Belgrade. In the interwar period, Wiles stood out for his activities in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, as the first translator of Petar Petrović Njegoš's Gorski Vijenac (The Mountain Wreath) into English. The owner of the villa on Senjak, which was given the moniker 'Cambridge', belonged to an interwar culture of pronounced Serbian-British friendship, and strove to create and strengthen cultural ties between the two nations, being bestowed with the Order of St. Sava by the royal couple King Alexander I and Queen Maria for his efforts.
A contribution to the study of the history and architecture of the 'Rosija' Insurance Company building in Belgrade (1904-1908)
Authors: Andrić Dunja , Kiproski Sanja
Published: January 2025

At the beginning of the 20th century, an ambitious project for the construction of the palace of the 'Rosija' ('Russia') Insurance Company was realized along Terazije, one of the most important transects within Belgrade's urban fabric. Built in the spirit of the Vienna Secession movement, with its height and volumetric characteristics, the edifice embodied the urban development of Terazije and became a recognizable visual topos of the capital of the Kingdom of Serbia. Created through the utilization of modern materials, and as a result of fruitful cooperation between Russian architects and renowned Serbian architect Jovan Ilkić (1857-1917), the palace of the 'Rosija' Insurance Company came to symbolize the modern identity of Belgrade. Despite the great architectural-urbanistic and socio-cultural significance of this major structure, certain elements related to its construction have not yet been fully explored. In particular, the competition for the architectural solution remained insufficiently studied. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to highlight new data related to the history of the construction of the 'Rosija' Insurance Company building and encourage new interpretations and further valorization of its architectural solution.

Authors: Putnik-Prica Vladana , Dautović Vuk
Published: January 2025

The interwar period was an extremely important time for the process of Jewish emancipation and integration into Serbian society, in which Belgrade's Jewish community played a leading role. The construction of the buildings of the Union of Jewish Municipalities and the Oneg Shabbat and Gemilut Hasadim charitable society in 1923 marked the beginning of the construction of the key landmarks of Jewish religious, cultural and political life in the capital of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The construction of the Sukkat Shalom Ashkenazi synagogue was also completed in this period, with the Memorial to Jewish soldiers who died in the Balkans and the First World War at the Jewish Sephardic cemetery in Belgrade and the construction of the monumental hall of the Jewish Church-School Community having also been completed by the end of the 1920s. The building of the Oneg Shabbat and Gemilut Hasadim Society, designed by architect Samuel Sumbul, represents an extraordinary example of the use of Orientalist motifs in architecture, the goal of which was the public representation of the Jewish community in Belgrade. The intention of this paper is to investigate the context of the creation of the project in greater detail, highlight its stylistic models and parallels, and to further draw attention to the role of architecture in the service of public visual representation of Jewish religious and ethnic identities in Belgrade.
Humus of reclaimed Cu post-flotation tailings Humus content and composition of soil from reclaimed Cu post-flotation tailings (Bor, Serbia)
Authors: Lilić Jasmina , Gajić-Kvaščev Maja , Dugonjić Mladen , Radmanović Svjetlana
Published: January 2025

The aim of this work was to determine the content and composition of the humus in the Technosols from reclaimed post-flotation tailings of the Bor copper mine (Serbia). Part of the tailings was reclaimed about 20 years ago by restoring the topsoil with arable soil and planting trees and grasses. Humus parameters were used as indicators for the success of the reclamation. Samples of the natural soil, which served as a borrow pit for the reclamation of the tailing, were analyzed as a control. The humus composition was assessed on the basis of the ratio of humic acids to fulvic acids (Ch/Cf), the ratio of humic acids to total organic carbon (C) (Ch/C) and the ratio of fulvic acids to total organic C (Cf/C). Descriptive statistics, correlation and PCA were used to analyze the data. The decrease in humus content is due to the weak inflow of organic residues into the soil due to the weak development of the vegetation. A significant increase in Cf/C and a decrease in Ch/Cf values are probably the result of the degradation of humus substances under the conditions of a very acidic environment and a lower leaching of fulvic acids. The decrease and degradation of humus in the soil are the result of unfavorable soil quality and unfavorable re-vegetation as a result of inadequate reclamation measures.

Authors: Kulauzov Maša , Milutin Milan
Published: January 2025

In the paper authors give legal history analysis of provisions of legislation on civil procedure regarding general rules and judicial organization. Minister of Justice Rajko Lešjanin prepared the draft and consigned it to State Council for approval. Part of draft concerning common provisions and organization of courts was not accepted in its original version, only after certain changes and supplements. Valuable source for aforementioned amendments is archival material stored in the fond of the State Council, in the State Archive of Serbia. In the article special attention was given to unenacted draft consisting of changes and supplements of some code provisions, prepared by then minister of justice Stojan Veljković in 1872. Although above-mentioned draft never came into force, constructive discussion that had developed between the author of the draft, State Council's Commission and district courts served as a base for partial revision of certain provisions of Code of Civil Procedure, among which the most important one is introduction of two-stage decision making in municipal courts (par. 15). Original text of the draft has not been preserved, but in the fond of the Ministry of Justice in The State Archive of Serbia one can find opinions of State Council's Commission and district courts that were used as a key historical source for writing the article.

Published: January 2025

The authors explore the social and legal status of unmarried women and social rules and customs affecting their behavior related to marriage and the relationship bet ween men and women in the 19th and early 20th centuries in Croatia, which was then a part of the Austrian Empire i.e. Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The research is founded on two different corpora. The first encompasses relevant legal acts regulating marriage at that time, including special rules for royal soldiers regar ding their rights to get married. The second part of the research is founded on newspaper announcements, specifically: matrimonial and contact ads, in which men and women express their wish to meet a potential spouse or lover. The corpus of ads is excerpted from the local newspapers of Osijek Die Drau and Slavonische Presse, published in the German language in the explored historical period. The issues of both newspapers published bet ween 1870 and 1938 are available in digitalized versions. Matrimonial and contact ads by men and women as potential spouses or love couples represent a valuable source of information about social rules and customs related to marriage and the relationship between men and women when social communication and social media were very limited. The paper aims to present legal rules regulating men's and women's rights and duties relating to marriage but also to shed light on how communication between potential love partners or spouses through printed media influenced the social position and identity of women by analyzing relevant newspaper ads from legal, socio-psychological, and socio-linguistic points of view.
Collecting facts and burden of proof in administrative procedure
Authors: Milkov Dragan , Radošević Ratko
Published: January 2025

Gathering facts and means of proof in administrative procedure provides the factual basis necessary for making an administrative decision. The process of collecting facts and means of proof in administrative procedure is determined by the principle of investigation, but not in an absolute manner, without any exceptions. This is the context in which the burden of proof in administrative procedure is examined, having in mind its two basic aspects. Following the principle of investigation, the burden of proof, as a burden of production of proof, is traditionally denied in administrative procedure. An effort is made to show that this strict view is not entirely acceptable and that it has to be questioned by considering the role of the party in the process of determining the facts. On the other hand, the burden of proof can be seen as a risk of factual deficit (of non liquet situation), which is, also traditionally, divided between the administrative authority and the party, de pending on whether an unfavorable or a favorable decision for the party should be made. As a general principle of division, it seems acceptable, but only conditionally, as typical, but not comprehensive, because it is not suitable for all administrative procedures.
Bystander behaviors in bullying incidents: A cross-sectional study in Belgrade secondary schools
Authors: Grmuša Adrijana
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the results of a cross-sectional study on bystander behaviors in bullying incidents conducted in the 2020/2021 school year based on a survey of 1,526 students in grades 2nd to 4th at 19 secondary schools in Belgrade. The research objectives included examination of types of bystander behaviors, their distribution within the bystander population and the association with bystanders' sex and grade. The results show that slightly more than one-third of students noticed bullying incidents in their school, with approximately equal numbers of bystanders exhibiting passive and defending behaviors. Each group included slightly less than half of the total number of bystanders. Within the groups, an uneven distribution of specific reactions was found. Almost 90% of those exhibiting passive behavior did nothing because they felt it was none of their business. Of those exhibiting defending behavior, about 40% reported the incident to a teacher or someone else, while the remaining 60% tried to help in other ways. Bystander behaviors were associated with bystanders' sex-boys were more likely to exhibit passive and pro-bully behaviors, while girls were more likely to exhibit defending behavior, especially reporting the incident. The study found no association between bystander behaviors and bystanders' grade. The results point to the need to encourage bystanders to report bullying incidents to a teacher.

Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic forced universities all over the world to shift from face-to-face to online education. Teaching and learning mathematics online bring many challenges for teachers due to its heavily symbolic and diagrammatic nature. The aim of the study was to determine whether it is possible to achieve good quality of university students' work and effectiveness of teaching by organizing online mathematics classes at non-mathematical faculties in the Republic of Serbia. The research focused on exploring students' views of online mathematics teaching, considering the influence of educational-scientific fields of their study programs and self-assessed level of mathematical knowledge. The study was conducted among undergraduate students (N = 224) of seven faculties/ departments of three state universities and one private university in 2022. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data analysis. The research results point to the conclusion that undergraduate students from our sample generally did not express positive attitudes towards online mathematics classes. Also, their attitudes were determined by the educational-scientific fields of the study programs they studied, as well as by their self-assessment of mathematical knowledge. Such results can be a significant starting point for new research on the quality and effectiveness of teaching, which should includeuniversity teachers who organized online mathematics classes.

Published: January 2025

This paper highlights the challenges of school pedagogists related to parental counseling. Counseling is a priority professional domain of school pedagogists' work and has a significant role in ensuring adequate conditions for quality socio-emotional and academic development of students. Therefore, this study examined practical experiences of school pedagogists in parental counseling. For research purposes, a semi-structured interview was used on a sample of 81 pedagogists in elementary schools in the Republic of Serbia (territory of AP Vojvodina). The obtained results were analyzed through qualitative thematic analysis. The research results show that the interviewed pedagogists regularly perform counseling with parents. However, they often face the parental resistance and reluctance to accept advice and fulfill established agreements. Primary reasons for engaging in parental counseling are difficulties in learning and lack of school progress, behavioral issues, and problems in family system. Besides, pedagogists recognize the necessity for further empowerment of competencies in counseling with parents, particularly emphasizing the importance of external support that helps them overcome stress and prevent professional burnout. It is concluded that empowering the counselor role of pedagogists in their work with parents requires professional, continuous and systemic support. This support is essential for creating optimal conditions that could facilitate the effective implementation of quality parental counseling practices.

Published: January 2025

In recent years, the rise of advanced artificial intelligence technologies has had a profound impact on many fields, including education. One such technology is ChatGPT, a powerful large language model developed by OpenAI. In this paper, the authors consider the possibilities and limitations of applying artificial intelligence, primarily ChatGPT, in the educational process. In addition to general definitions, this popular technology is briefly presented, as well as the possibilities of its application. Consideration is mainly carried out from the educational aspect, with the role of the teacher still in the centre. At the same time, appropriate didactic, pedagogical, and methodical possibilities were presented, with which the teacher can be innovative and even more successful, effectively applying ChatGPT in everyday educational work. Of course, the limitations arising from the application of artificial intelligence are also presented. In this article, the benefits and risks related to the use of ChatGPT in education are discussed. The article argues that ChatGPT has at least five main benefits, such as creating learning assessment, enhancing pedagogical practice, offering virtual personal tutoring, creating an essay or research article outline, and brainstorming ideas. However, there are risks related to academic integrity issues, unfair learning assessment, inaccurate information, and over-reliance on AI. The article offers a set of recommendations for the effective use of ChatGPT for educational purposes. As a final result, we get a more realistic picture of this current topic, which also shows the pedagogical aspects and does not diminish the role of the teacher.
Sociología de las cárceles en Chile
Authors: Mansilla Miguel Ángel , Agurto Calderón Alicia
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de este artículo es hacer una “sociología de la sociología carcelaria” de Chile en las últimas dos décadas (2005 al 2023). Ello considerando que, desde el año 2005, se han intensificado las investigaciones en cinco temáticas, de acuerdo con la bibliografía revisada: a) condiciones infraestructurales de las cárceles; b) migrantes e indígenas; b) mujeres, madres y niños; d) la reinserción o rehabilitación social; y e) religión y cárceles. En consecuencia, la cárcel es concebida como un tipo de sociedad clausurada construida socialmente que elabora sus propias estratificaciones sociales, políticas y económicas. La sociología que ha estudiado las cárceles chilenas, si bien muestra que existen relativas buenas condiciones, según las nuevas preocupaciones motivadas por los medios de comunicaciones —que enfatizan temas como la relación entre migración, delito y microtráfico de drogas—, también mostrará que los procesos de encarcelamiento irán en aumento, así como la construcción de nuevas cárceles.

Authors: Hanifah Wafa Firdaus  , Muthoifin
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of Sharia application on psychological and social well-being and explore the implications and risks of deviations in modern society. With the increasing integration of Sharia principles into various aspects of life, understanding their effects on individual and societal well-being is crucial. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework is based on social integration theory and psychological well-being models, which help explain how religious principles influence life satisfaction, stress, and social cohesion. Literature Review: A literature review reveals that Sharia's impact on psychological well-being is generally positive, fostering a sense of justice and community, yet it also carries risks of social exclusion and value conflicts in diverse societies. Methods: The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data. A quantitative survey involving 500 respondents assesses the psychological and social effects of Sharia on life satisfaction, stress levels, and social integration. Additionally, qualitative interviews with 30 stakeholders, including Sharia practitioners, academics, and community members, offer in-depth insights into the societal and individual implications of Sharia application. Results: The results show that while Sharia implementation increases a sense of justice and social support, it may also result in social exclusion, especially in pluralistic contexts, leading to value conflicts among different social groups. Implications: The implications of the findings suggest that Sharia's implementation must be carefully balanced with modern societal needs, promoting fairness and inclusivity. Furthermore, mechanisms to prevent and address deviations from Sharia principles are essential for mitigating potential risks. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and the general public in managing Sharia's application effectively. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive exploration of both the positive and negative impacts of Sharia on psychological and social well-being, offering a nuanced understanding of its role in contemporary society.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore family strategies in educating children in the 5.0 era from the perspective of multicultural Islamic education, focusing on efforts to build a generation with character. The 5.0 era is marked by rapid technological developments and digitalization, which affects family parenting and the value system taught to children. In the context of multicultural Islamic education, Islamic values and cultural diversity must be managed in harmony to produce a generation that is not only intellectually intelligent, but also has strong moral character, such as tolerance, empathy, and integrity. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with families from diverse cultural backgrounds, observations, and analysis of documents related to children's education from the perspective of Islam and multiculturalism. The data obtained were analyzed thematically to understand the educational patterns applied in the family, as well as the challenges and solutions that emerged in educating children in the 5.0 era. The results of the study show that the family plays an important role in integrating religious and cultural values into children's education. The multicultural approach to Islamic education provides flexibility for families to instil universal values such as justice, togetherness, and respect for differences. In this case, technology is used as a supporting tool to reinforce learning, although prudent parental supervision is still needed. The originality of this research lies in the combination of the concept of Islamic and multicultural education in the context of the 5.0 era, which has not been explored in depth in academic studies. The implications of this study provide insight for educators and policymakers to design educational programs based on multicultural Islamic values, to build a resilient generation to face global challenges.

Examining the implementation of extended producer responsibility within the palm oil industry: Challenges and opportunities for sustainable practices
Authors: Kurniawan A Azis , Nahriyah Muflihatun
Published: January 2025

Background: Indonesia, as the world's leading palm oil producer, significantly contributes to the global supply and national GDP. However, the industry's expansion has led to increased plastic waste generation, exacerbating environmental and health concerns due to inefficient waste management. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has been proposed as a strategic solution to improve sustainability in the sector. Method: This study conducts a systematic review of sustainability reports from Indonesian palm oil companies, analyzing corporate approaches to plastic pollution, sustainable packaging, and EPR. Data were collected from company websites and linked packaging-related sections, followed by a content analysis to assess commitments to these key areas. Findings: The analysis reveals a divide within the sector: while half of the major companies acknowledge plastic pollution in their reports, the other half lack awareness or action. Sustainable packaging initiatives remain insufficient to meet Indonesia’s target of reducing plastic usage by 30% by 2029. Additionally, corporate commitment to EPR is limited to only a small portion of the industry. Conclusion: The study highlights the need for stronger regulatory enforcement and corporate accountability in addressing plastic waste management. A broader adoption of EPR and sustainable packaging practices is crucial for the palm oil sector to align with national and global environmental goals. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study provides a critical assessment of plastic waste management in the Indonesian palm oil sector, offering insights into corporate sustainability commitments. By evaluating EPR adoption and sustainable packaging practices, it identifies gaps and areas for policy and industry improvement.

Utilization of POME waste as a renewable energy source in the life cycle concept of palm oil biodiesel
Authors: Paminto Ari Kabul
Published: January 2025

Background: In 2024, Indonesia, an importer of crude oil and fuel, is shifting focus to renewable energy as fossil fuel production declines. This research aims to develop a life cycle concept for biodiesel production from palm oil, addressing environmental concerns related to emissions from FFB, CPO, and biodiesel production processes. Methods: The method used in this research is a combination of quantitative LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) along with qualitative methods. Findings:  This research identifies and evaluates the alternative utilization of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) waste with certain priority weights. The results showed that biodiesel production from palm oil requires various significant inputs, such as NPK fertilizer, herbicides, water, diesel, and Crude Palm Oil (CPO), resulting in environmental emissions in the form of CO2 of 1489 Kg CO2 (eq) per ton of biodiesel, as well as contributions to eutrophication and acidification. The LCI (Life Cycle Inventory) analysis also identified that the largest CO2 emissions came from POME waste (53%), followed by NPK fertilizer (23%), methanol (18%), and diesel oil (7%), while eutrophication and acidification indicated significant contributions from NPK fertilizer, methanol, diesel oil, and POME waste. These findings confirm the importance of utilizing POME waste as an optimal step to reduce CO2 emissions with a potential reduction of up to 667.2 Kg CO2 through a more sustainable biodiesel production life cycle concept. Conclusion: From this result, researchers recommend that palm oil companies start replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers to reduce environmental impacts, and encourage the utilization of POME waste at Palm Oil Mills as a source of biogas for renewable energy. At the biodiesel industry level, increasing the methanol recycling rate is proposed to improve efficiency and reduce emissions at the downstream stage of biodiesel production. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study identifies and evaluates alternatives for utilizing Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) waste with certain priority weights.
