Herding strategies under shifting rainfall conditions: implications for rangeland conservation and pastoralist livelihoods
Authors:   , Leweri Cecilia
Published: November 2023

Understanding rainfall variability is of great importance in East Africa, where small-scale farmers and pastoralists dominate. Factors such as fire, herbivory and soil conditions also determine the spatial and temporal plant productivity, influencing livestock production and wildlife sustainability. This study focused on assessing pastoralist herding strategies under varying rainfall conditions as well as their implications to rangeland conservation and pastoralist livelihood. I conducted 241 household interviews, collected information from 52 participants of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), and used rainfall archived data from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) to assess pastoralists’ perception and actual trends in rainfall, drought frequency, pasture availability, rangeland cover, and livestock production. I established four exclusion plots of 1 m2 each within an area of 50 x 100 m at eight sites to quantify the effect of grazing and to estimate grass productivity across season and elevation. Single and multi-species groups of wild herbivores were recorded along road transects in human-dominated landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in two sampling periods (wet season: November–May and; dry season: June–October) in 2018-2019. Most (71%) pastoralists were aware of general climate change, rainfall variability, and impacts of extreme events on their livestock. The exclusion plots showed that aboveground primary productivity and recovery from grazing was driven by both rainfall (F3, 4 = 19.165, p < 0.0001) and elevation (F2, 3 = 11.319, p = 0.023). Wild herbivore group sizes (Mean ± SE) were larger during the wet (7 ± 1 browsers, 19 ± 2 grazers and 19 ± 3 mixed feeders) than during the dry season (3 ± 0 browsers, 13 ± 1 grazers and 13 ± 4 mixed feeders) and varied seasonally with distance to Ngorongoro crater, streams, and human settlements. The study concludes that rainfall variability and recurrent droughts are the major challenges to livestock production in NCA. Moreover, increasing livestock population and high dependence on grazing resources impact the potential of the rangeland to support livestock and wildlife. The study recommends that wildlife coexistence is crucial for the protection status of this man-and-biosphere reserve, however, the management should determine the optimal resource ratio and the level of stocking densities the rangeland can support.
Traditions and innovations in the liturgical music of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church (Ayo ni o) Lagos state
Authors: Loko Omolara Olasunbo
Published: November 2023

The liturgy of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church (Ayo ni o) Lagos State, Nigeria, is characterised by various worship activities such as prayer, reading of the bible, ringing of the bell, and singing, to mention few, and scholars have noted music to constitute a greater part of it. While some aspects of the church’s worship rites are considered rigid and fixed, modernisation and technology continue to redefine some of its religious practices, especially liturgical music. Much of the studies on the church focused on issues surrounding traditions, the liturgy, and musical practices. However, little is known about the recent changes and continuities that have attended the church's liturgy. This study seeks to deconstruct the existing tradition in the liturgical music of the C&S movement against the backdrop of newly introduced innovations. It further investigates agents of innovation and the attendant reactions of the members to the change. The theory that informs this study is transformation leadership. The researcher used incidental sampling to interview key church members in Lagos districts. In addition, participant observation was also employed. Data were subjected to content analysis. The study argues that despite newly introduced innovations, some of the old traditions in the liturgical music of the church are still practised and maintained.
Semantic Association of Jihad: Indonesian Muslim Students’ Perspectives
Authors: Nur Latifah  , Akhmad Muzakki  , Sofiatul Karimah
Published: November 2023

The findings show that the students’ view on Jihad is not merely identical to fighting but also the application of Jihad, which varies. It has a wide spectrum as long as its purpose and still in the religious morality frame. Spreading Rahmatan (affection) concept and The word jihad, which mentioned in the Qur'an about 35 times, including its derivations, has often been understood only at the scriptural level, detached from its contexts. As a result, jihad has been assumed to be a specific act of violence, such as terrorism and radicalism. This article aims to explain the concept of jihad in Islam from the perspective of Indonesian Muslim students at Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, Indonesia, and to explore the factors that influence their understanding of jihad. This study adopts a semantic approach to the teaching of jihad in the Qur'an, contextualizing it with the current situation. The findings show that the students' view of jihad is not limited to physical fighting, but also includes a wide range of other applications, as long as they are motivated by religious morality. The moral and spiritual values implicit in jihad include spreading the concept of rahmahan (affection) and promoting peace of life and spiritual values
Hustle Culture in Social Media: Exploring the Imagined Success in the Modern Era
Authors: Athifah Chairunnisah  , Lilawati Kurnia
Published: November 2023

This study examines how the notion of success among modern Indonesian youth, particularly the millennial generation, is constructed through the hustle culture trend on social media. With social media playing a significant role in shaping the aspirations and lifestyles of young individuals, the study centers on the hustle culture trend due to its strong promotion of values such as hard work, ambition, and productivity as integral to their way of life. Data was collected from various platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, comprising textual, visual, and multimedia content related to hustle culture and the modern urban youth lifestyle in Indonesia. Additionally, interviews were conducted with six millennial respondents. The collected data is analyzed using the Ethnography Content Analysis (ECA) approach while reflecting on various theoretical concepts regarding youth, urban, social media, and hustle culture. The findings demonstrate that the hustle culture trend constructs an idealized image and lifestyle of modern urban youth, portraying them as modern, productive, and inspirational, thereby equating the social media image of success with actual success. This research provides a fresh perspective on understanding success among Indonesian youth in the modern era, specifically by examining the influence of social media practices in their daily l­­ives

Published: November 2023

Educational technology in its contribution to the management and learning of education is opening up knowledge horizons about changing strategic environments. We need the growth of science and technology caused by learning and learning activities of innovation. Speaking in this case is inadequate because the concept of technological studies provides a formula for how to bring teaching and learning activities. Then, the application of educational technology, especially ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in education to overcome learning problems has a number of requirements. For example, the need for large investment costs and energy that are skilled in managing and developing education and utilizing technological advancements that will support the process of learning. It is noteworthy that education is a long-term investment. Therefore, investment in basic education facilities must be calculated with future educational outcomes
Election Administration as a Licensed Profession
Authors: SITARAMAN GANESH , Stack KEVIN M.
Published: November 2023

This Essay argues that election administrators should be subject to a professional licensing regime, much like licensing in medicine and law. Making election administration a licensed profession would not only expand requirements for training, but also enhance the professional identification of these officials, reinforcing norms of integrity and impartiality. By raising barriers to entry, licensing would make it more costly for partisans to obtain these offices. Licensing could also improve public confidence in the professionalism of election administration. Such a reform meets our moment. While many states have increased training requirements for election administrators, significant gaps remain. Moreover, existing reforms to election administration—ranging from creating nonpartisan structures to disclosing more information to shame outliers—have either stalled or been too indirect to confront the rising partisan challenges election administrators face. The Essay concludes with a case study illustrating how such a licensing regime could be implemented in Michigan.

Autori i artikullit veçon disa karakteristika të këtij shkrimtari, shpreh vlerësime të tija, por edhe të mjaft personaliteteve shqiptarë e suedezë, të cilët vënë në dukje aftësitë krijuese, talentin dhe prodhimtarinë e gjerë letrare e cilësore të këtij shkrimtari. Artikullshkruesi veçon faktin se Viron Kona e bazon krijimtarinë e tij veçanërisht në eksperiencat dhe përjetimet vetjake, gjë që ia ka mundësuar jeta e tij aktive, karakteri i fortë dhe i palëkundur për të përballuar jetën dhe sfidat e saj të herëpashershme. Vihet në dukje se letërsia e Viron Konës, është e ngjizur me kurbën e kalvarit të tij jetësor. Ai i ka provuar në jetë të gjitha punët, nga ato më të vlerësuarat në shoqëri, në të cilat ai ka spikatur si vlerë shoqërore e njohur, deri në punët që në mënyrë të pamerituar e kanë çuar në zgrip të jetës.

Principles and applications of interfacial rheology in (pre)formulation development of pharmaceutical preparations
Authors: Krstonošić Veljko , Pavlović Nebojša , Ćirin Dejan
Published: November 2023

Rheology is a science that deals with the movement and deformation of materials, while interfacial rheology is a branch of rheology that focuses on the study of the mechanical properties of fluid interfaces, such as liquid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces. The behavior of fluid interfaces differs significantly from that of bulk materials, and standard rheological measurements of bulk materials cannot adequately describe their properties. Interfacial rheology is a specialized approach to the study of viscoelasticity and interfacial tension at liquid interfaces and provides valuable insight into intermolecular interactions and surface forces. This knowledge is particularly important for the development of advanced formulations and systems with tailored properties and functionalities. Interfacial rheology is a rapidly growing research field with diverse applications in science and industry. It plays a pivotal role in the development and optimization of pharmaceutical formulations and design of innovative drug delivery carriers with improved stability, enhanced drug release profiles, and targeted delivery capabilities. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of interfacial rheology, its principles, measurement techniques, and applications in various industries. By exploring recent advancements and emerging trends in the field, we aim to highlight the significance of interfacial rheology in optimizing formulations, enhancing product performance, and driving innovations, particularly in pharmaceutical science.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is the sixth most prevalent malignant entity with a significant fatality rate. The International Agency for Research on Cancer reported in 2018 that there are approximately 350,000 newly diagnosed instances of oral cancer per year, amounting to a cumulative incidence of 4.0 per 100,000 people. The aim of this review was to investigate the biomarkers associated with immunotherapy in head and neck cancer, and in particular oral cancer, as well as their respective immunotherapeutic agents. An extensive review of the literature was carried through. Relevant articles were searched in Medline Pubmed, Web of Science and Google scholar. The inclusion criterion was that the article should be written in English, whereas the exclusion criterion was the opposite. The current standard of care (SOC) for disease that recurs locally and/or metastatic disease was, until recently, platinum-based chemotherapy plus cetuximab. A potential treatment option is the monoclonal antibody cetuximab, which extends median progression-free survival (PFS) as it targets the epidermal growth factor (EGFR). Last decade, research has shown that there are two mechanisms of tumor's microenvironment (the immune escape and the T-cell exhaustion) which are related to total survival from cancer. Consequently, scientists focused on immunotherapy, a new therapeutic approach that activates a patient's immune system to fight tumor cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a category of immunotherapies that are extremely effective at reactivating the immune system's defence against cancer. Oral cancer immunotherapy could target two significant immune checkpoints, cytotoxic T-lymphocyteassociated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1).
Motivation for learning science and mathematics: TIMSS research in Serbia
Authors: Lalić-Vučetić Nataša , Mirkov Snežana
Published: November 2023

Student motivation is one of the affective components that plays a key role in learning science. Research shows that in developed countries there is a trend of declining students' interest in science and technology. In this paper, the relationships between intrinsic motivation, Self-Concept, and the achievement of the fourth-grade elementary school students in mathematics and sciences were investigated. The authors also present the results of the secondary data analyses obtained in Serbia by means of student questionnaires and knowledge tests in the last two cycles of the TIMSS research in 2015 and 2019. The questionnaire contains two scales in which motivational variables are operationalized: students' attitudes towards mathematics/sciences and mathematical/ scientific self-confidence. Students' attitude is an indicator of an intrinsic motivation, and self-confidence is an indicator of Self-Concept. The results show that students express a high motivation for learning mathematics and sciences and a high level of Self-Concept. A higher level of Self-Concept is accompanied by a higher level of motivation for learning mathematics and sciences. Individual characteristics of students have a greater influence on achievement than the influence of schools and teachers. Students who express a more positive attitude towards mathematics and science and a higher level of selfconcept in these areas also have a higher level of achievement. The influence of mathematical selfconcept on achievement is particularly significant. The obtained results are in accordance with the findings of the earlier research that indicate complex and controversial relationships between intrinsic motivation, Self-Concept, and mathematical achievement, as well as that other constructs, including Self-Concept, can mediate the links between motivation and achievement. The authors point out the possibilities of encouraging students' motivation for learning. If students are trained in the teaching process to organize their own activities, this will contribute to their experience of autonomy and the development of confidence in their own competence, which positively impacts their motivation for learning.
Knjiga u savremenom dobu interneta
Authors: Arsović Branka
Published: November 2023

Digital technology has certainly had a major impact on traditional publishing and the sale of books, but the question arises as to whether IT destroyed a traditional book or gave it a new type of life? So, despite the enormous influence of the Internet and digital technologies, the debate on the importance of books still survives and is quite alive. Despite numerous predictions from the past decades, IT will supplant printed media and books as we know, publics' research shows that this is not the case. New technologies have modernized the format of the book, so they acquired a new reading body, and thus breathed new life into reading and a book. So, regardless of all innovations and technological advances, the book is not dead. Information technologies simply help to evolve the format and shape of the book beyond their physical limitations in completely new directions, adapted to the requirements, needs and preferences of contemporary readers.

Missed meals, skipping breakfast, and increased intake of sweets are related to overweight and obesity. We aimed to research nutritional habits in schoolchildren in Serbia. Method. We used the data from the research "Health-related habits in schoolchildren in Serbia in 2017". We used the standardized international protocol of the World Health Organization for data gathering. We polled 3.933 participants, aged 11, 13, and 15. Results. The habit of having breakfast, on schooldays days, shows statistically significant difference around re-gions, for ages 11 (p = 0,001) and 13 (p = 0,000). At the age of 11 (p = 0,046), the majority of children have breakfast on weekends in Belgrade (92,7%). When fruit consumption is concerned, the regions statistically significantly differ for the age 11 (p = 0,006). The greatest consumption of fruit is found in the region of Vojvodina (37,4%). In Belgrade, 5% of children never eat vegetables. At the age of 15, there is a statistically significant difference (p = 0,046) in vegetable consumption. Most vegetables are consumed in South and East Serbia (25,5%), and Sumadija and West Serbia (27,4%). There is a statistically significant difference (p=0,016), at the age of eleven, in sweets consumption, among regions. There are the least children who never consumed sweets (1,8%) in Vojvodina. Conclusion. Based on analyzed data, we concluded that children aged eleven, thirteen, and fifteen, in the Republic of Serbia, don't eat quite healthy. The results may be useful for the promotion of health-educational programs, which, in turn, may lead to behavioral changes.
The impact of motivation to decision on digital transformation of social entrepreneurship
Authors: Đalić Irena , Erceg Živko
Published: November 2023

Background: Today, the digital transformation of business is one of the conditions for survival on the market. The development of digital technology is progressing rapidly, and only the business entities that keep pace with this development can expect good business results. Social entrepreneurship is an excellent way to solve the problems of social inequality and poverty and thus leads to economic growth and development. Purpose: The main goal of this research is to create a theoretical model of digital transformation of social entrepreneurship. This model can be a useful tool for deciding on the digital transformation of business. We investigated motivation of managers and employees as an influencing factor for the digital transformation of business. We declared other influencing factors as constants. Study design: We measured motivation by personal and professional use of the Internet, the acquisition of digital skills, the cost of labour of those who are involved in the digitisation process, and the application of data protection software. Ninety-seven social entrepreneurship entities from Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) participated in the research. The research was carried out using questionnaires, and we analysed the obtained data using correlation and regression methods. Findings: The results showed that motivation is a significant factor in the digital transformation of social entrepreneurship. Based on the results of the research, we have created a model of digital transformation of social entrepreneurship entities that can lead to economic and social development through steps applicable in practice. Limitations/future research: The most significant limitation of the research is the lack of an official register of social entrepreneurship entities from which we can collect data about the number of these entities. To future researchers, we leave open questions of other influencing factors for the development of social entrepreneurship, such as knowledge, sources of funding for initial business activities, etc.
How to untie "the Kosovo knot"? An integrative approach to the Serbian-Albanian conflict
Authors: Mojašević Aleksandar
Published: November 2023

This paper presents Mnookin's conceptual framework for identifying and overcoming obstacles to the efficient and fair resolution of individual and group conflicts and disputes. This is followed by review of the basic elements of the negotiations between the Republic of Serbia and the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, a summary of the results of those negotiations, as well as the views of the Serbian public opinion on the declaration of independence of the so-called Kosovo and the Kosovo issue in general. After that, the paper presents the basic elements of two well-known theories of intergroup conflict in order to shed light on the nature of conflict between the two ethnic groups (Serbs and Albanians). Finally, the previous negotiations of the two parties are placed in the presented conceptual framework of negotiations in order to identify the key points of contention in the previous negotiations of Serbia and the so-called Kosovo and offer potential solutions for overcoming them based on the presented theoretical model of negotiation in the presence of a third party (mediator). The key finding is that the negotiations can be concluded with a fair agreement, but only if the real (material) interests of the two parties are respected, primarily the emotional ones, that is, those arising from the nature of the conflict between the social identities of the two ethnic groups.
The regulation of new police authorities in the Police Act
Authors: Milidragović Dragan , Milić Nenad
Published: November 2023

The advent of modern technologies and their implementation into various spheres of human activities, including security, facilitated a faster development of the society, while increasing the risk of human rights violations. In that context, an emerging challenge is how to maximize the use of new technological features while still preserving citizens' rights and freedoms. The application of all measures, actions and tools in police work must be based on the adequate legal framework which clearly regulates the police authorities. Standardizing new police authorities is not an easy task; it requires coordination and finding the right balance between security, law and human rights. This paper addresses the regulation of police authorities in the Police Act of the Republic of Serbia. The authors analyze the operational capabilities of modern technologies and other instruments that may be used in police operations and propose specific normative grounds for their application by defining four new police authorities. The authors point out to the role, significance and use of the proposed new police authorities in future police work, urging that they should be introduced as new legal rules in subsequent amendemnts of the Police Act.
Evolvement of consumer rights protection in Polish judicial proceedings: New separate proceedings
Authors: Zembrzuski Tadeusz
Published: November 2023

In recognition of the concept of consumer rights to trial, individual and collective consumer rights should be extended across Europe as well as nationally. The need to affirm the procedural position of the so-called vulnerable parties in civil law proceedings is a complex and multifaceted matter. The Polish legislator having devised new separate proceedings in consumer cases is a manifestation of the equalising justice principle having been realised. Regardless, one may well doubt whether the current procedural form comprises a sufficient volume of significant deviations from ordinary proceedings to justify such nature to be conferred upon it. Related deliberations form part of a broader discussion regarding the structure, form, and suitability of Polish procedural law.
Component Based Finite Element Method for Steel Joints at Ambient and Elevated Temperatures

Published: November 2023

This paper introduces Component Based Finite Element Model (CBFEM) which is a numerical design model to analyze and design connections of steel structures with features demonstrated here on a portal frame eaves bolted connection. The connection in CBFEM procedure is analyzed by Finite Element Method FEM. The correct behavior of components is treated by introducing components that well represent its behavior in terms of initial stiffness, ultimate strength and deformation capacity, of bolts, welds etc. As for another FEM design procedures a special care is given to the validation and verification procedures which is demonstrated here in this contribution on example of portal frame eaves welded connection. In this paper, CBFEM is applied to analyze steel beams and columns also at elevated temperature. The main objective of this study is to verify the CBFEM for predicting the resistance of steel members and connections at elevated temperatures.
Student Positioning in Mathematics Assessment Research: A Critical Review
Authors: Nieminen Juuso Henrik , Bagger Anette , Padilla Alexis , Tan Paulo
Published: November 2023

We conduct a critical review to explore how research on mathematics classroom assessment has positioned students (127 studies, 2015–2020). Our analysis shows how research has positioned students as passive recipients of assessment by portraying assessment through discourses of measurement and cognition. Conversely, students are positioned as active agents in their own learning through discourses of empowerment and monitoring. Finally, a discourse of performativity portrays classroom assessment as a way to promote results in large-scale assessments. These five discourses summarize how research produces knowledge about mathematics assessment and, in doing so, positions students as social agents with certain roles and responsibilities. Our review challenges assessment research communities to rethink how students are positioned in mathematics assessment.

A jogalkotási akarat és a jogalkotási nyilatkozat ütközése, valamint a joghézag és az analógia kérdése a hatósági/bírósági jogalkalmazásban az európai uniós jogot is érintve
Authors: Prugberger Tamás
Published: November 2023

A tanulmány elsőként a jogértelmezés és a joghézag, valamint az analógia alkalmazása között fennálló összefüggést vizsgálja, majd áttér a jogértelmezés céljának és módszereinek vizsgálatára, ami addig alkalmazható, míg a tételesjogi hiányosság ilyen módon reparálható. Ha már nem, és hézag áll fenn a tételesjogban, kerül sor az analógia alkalmazására, amely lehet analogia juris és analogia legis. Az utóbbi a jogbiztonság szempontjából előnyösebb. A szerzőnézete szerint valamennyi itt tárgyalt jogintézmény az európai uniós jogot is érintve alkalmazható.
