Kako smo nekada pripremali, radili i prezentovali stručne i naučne radove
Authors: Paunković Nebojša , Paunković Džejn
Published: December 2024

Kao i danas, priprema i publikovanje stručnih i naučnih radova imalo je svoje faze od kojih su se neke veoma mnogo razlikovale od današnjih. Ideje za oblast i tematiku koju bismo mogli da radimo dobijali smo od starijih lekara ili istraživača, ređe od radova iz štampane literature do koje se vrlo teško dolazilo. Najčešće se odlazilo u biblioteku Medicinskog fakulteta u Beogradu, razgovaralo se sa starijim bibliotekarom, iznosio mu se problem, on bi nam dao da čitamo 2-3 časopisa. U biblioteku se unosila samo olovka i notes i zapisivale se činjenice koje smo našli. Sami radovi su se kucali na pisaćoj mašini, i slali izdavaču određenih domaćih časopisa (Srpski Arhiv, Medicinski Pregled iz Novog Sada, Acta medica medianae iz Niša) najčešće u dva primerka, kucano pod indigom. Grafikoni u radu su se crtali rukom. Kasnije sa napretkom tehnike (fotokopir aparat) izbacili smo indigo, a slova u naslovima su zamenjena "letrasetom". Ipak, ono što je vredelo bile su ideje i težnja da se bude što bolji, među prvima. Tako smo bili prvi u Jugoslaviji koji su radili i publikovali kada se u svetu pojavio tumorski marker CA 125, među prvima u zemlji smo radili RIA tehnikom površinski antigen na hepatitis B (Ausria kit). Među prvima "na našim prostorima" smo pisali i radili testove za subkliničku hipotireozu itd. Pokušali smo i testiranje LATSa, i nešto kasnije pridružili smo se svetskoj eliti u testiranju i korišćenju TRAb, antitela na receptore za tireotropin.
Impact of stock market indices and raw material prices on the yield movements of Caterpillar company securities
Authors: Petrović Nevena , Novićević-Čečević Bojana , Krstajić Goran
Published: December 2024

The goal of this paper is to examine the effect of selected stock market indices and the market prices of chosen raw materials on the movement of future daily returns of Caterpillar's shares. Historical data on stock returns and other relevant factors can be utilized to build statistical models for forecasting future market movements. Daily time-series data were collected from Yahoo finance for a five-year period. In this study, we use multiple linear regression to predict the returns of CAT shares. The model results can be analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and insights that may be useful for forecasting. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the proposed model, with four additional predictors, is 13.3% higher than the benchmark model, which only used the SPY market index (SPDR S&P 500 ETF) to explain the variability in CAT stock returns. The research confirmed that, in addition to the SPY market index, the performance of the PKB (Invesco Dynamic Building and Construction ETF) fund, as well as the prices of copper, steel, and aluminium have a statistically significant impact on the movement of CAT stock returns. The practical implication of this study is that investors, when deciding whether to invest in CAT shares, must consider not only systematic factors but also the performance of shares within its supply chain. The implication highlights the importance of analyzing Caterpillar's entire business system when making investment decisions. Such predictions contribute to a better understanding of the characteristics that enable optimal aggregation of information and efficient price determination. They also assist investors in selecting an investment strategy aligned with their objectives
Developing sustainable internal communications systems in the entrepreneurial environment: Empirical and statistical analysis
Authors: Sančanin Branislav , Penjišević Aleksandra
Published: December 2024

In establishing a new organizational system and methods of work, it is necessary to inform employees about all issues important for its functioning. If that kind of approach is absent, it can easily happen that employees from the start react with resistance and mistrust due to misinformation regarding the goals, both organizational, and individual. Such a lack of honest and open communication within the organization made the flow of information difficult or nonexistent. In order to build a sustainable internal communication system and thus restore employees' confidence in the future, it is essential that any initiative of this kind starts from the leadership. Towards the solution to the problem of internal communication two potential models can be applied: a) the transparency of information, or b) two-way communication. Information transparency refers to the organizations where employees already have a high level of confidence in the leadership and its decisions, so that the information they receive is considered as relevant and true. On the other hand, the process of two-way communication should be applied to build or re-build trust and connect employees to the organization and leadership. In this research, the sample was purposive for employees in small and mediumsized enterprises on the territory of the Republic of Serbia (n=152). It was established that employees evaluate the relationship with the direct manager better than the understanding of their own problems by the direct manager. Older respondents have a better relationship with their direct managers. Respondents who have a total working experience of 21-30 years rate the communication with their direct manager somewhat worse.
Remote work from the perspective of employees and managers
Authors: Gavrić Gordana
Published: December 2024

The development of technology and knowledge-based economy are ideal field for the development of remote work, which has especially become a trend in recent years. Although it has existed as a way of working since the nineties of the last century, it was less widely applied until the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic, when organizations around the world were forced to adapt to the measures by the governments of most countries to control the spread of the infection and change the previous way of working. The paper used the method of content analysis, as a scientific method for the qualitative processing of the available literature in this area and the analysis and synthesis of the knowledge it contains. The results of analysis showed that this way of working enables better access to talent, increased productivity, lower costs, greater individual flexibility, and a better employee experience. Working from home has another side of the medal, which refers to the alienation of employees, disruption of cohesion within the organization, the problem of controlling the work of employees, etc. Organizing and managing this way of working is not always easy for either workers or managers and requires additional commitment and effort. The topic is particularly topical due to the fact that this way of working is becoming a real trend among the younger generations and something that in the future will not be seen only as a possibility, but as a normal part of a job and it is necessary to find the most ideal models of its functioning.

MASA KOLONIALISME KAWASAN ASIA TENGGARA
Authors: Hidayat Asep Achmad , Fikri Arsyad Muhammad , Nurcahya Yan , Thariq Syah M Kautsar
Published: December 2024

Masa kolonialisme di kawasan Asia Tenggara merupakan salah satu babak sejarah penting yang membentuk banyak aspek kehidupan sosial, ekonomi, dan politik di wilayah tersebut. Kolonialisasi di Asia Tenggara dimulai pada akhir abad ke-15 hingga abad ke-20, yang ditandai dengan kedatangan bangsa-bangsa Eropa, seperti Portugis, Spanyol, Belanda, Inggris, dan Prancis, yang memperebutkan kekuasaan atas sumber daya alam dan jalur perdagangan strategis. Proses kolonialisasi ini tidak hanya terbatas pada pendudukan fisik wilayah, tetapi juga melibatkan perubahan dalam struktur sosial dan budaya, serta sistem pemerintahan yang didasarkan pada kontrol langsung atau melalui pengaruh yang kuat dari negara penjajah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak kolonialisme terhadap perkembangan di negara-negara Asia Tenggara, seperti Indonesia, Malaysia, Filipina, Vietnam, dan Myanmar. Dalam aspek ekonomi, kolonialisme memperkenalkan sistem tanam paksa, perkebunan besar, dan eksploitasi sumber daya alam yang menguntungkan penjajah namun memperburuk kondisi rakyat pribumi. Secara politik, kolonialisme membentuk batas-batas negara yang seringkali tidak mencerminkan identitas etnis dan budaya asli masyarakat setempat, yang kemudian menumbuhkan ketegangan sosial. Selain itu, kolonialisme juga mengubah struktur sosial, dengan munculnya kelas sosial baru yang terbagi antara elite kolonial dan masyarakat pribumi yang terpinggirkan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah metode kualitatif deskripkif, yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang cukup mendalam mengenai fenomena sosial dan isu-isu yang akan dibahas. Penelitian ini merupakan metode deskriptif, data yang diperoleh dari berbagai sumber-sumber teks, informasi dari buku, jurnal dan karya ilmiah lainnya Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif mengenai pengaruh dan legasi kolonialisme di kawasan Asia Tenggara, serta bagaimana masa kolonial membentuk perjalanan sejarah kawasan tersebut hingga kini.

Authors: Suci Tresna Dewi Handayani
Published: December 2024

As online platforms become more widely accessible, English learners have greater opportunities to practice speaking with foreign interlocutors, though many remain hesitant due to a lack of confidence in their speaking abilities. This study examines the perceptions of 107 first-semester English learners at a private university who were assigned to use SCMC platforms like Free4Talk, InterPals, and HelloTalk to engage in English conversations with foreign interlocutors. The aim was to understand how these platforms supported speaking practice and identify any challenges faced. Data were collected through a questionnaire that included Likert-scale items and open-ended questions. The results revealed that 78% of students had positive perceptions, indicating that the platforms facilitated their English-speaking practice through real-time communication. However, they also reported technical issues, such as poor internet connectivity, and challenges with engagement, including difficulty finding consistent conversation partners. The study recommends further research into long-term language learner experiences and an exploration of platform features that could enhance English-speaking practice.

Navigating the effect of Work-Family Conflict on Job Performance: The Mediating Role of Work-Family Guilt and the Moderating Effects of Gender Role Orientations and Reducing Work
Authors: Usman Ahmad , Malik Asma , Basit Abdul
Published: December 2024

This paper explores how work-family conflict is intertwined with the relationship between job performance and also delves into the mediating role of work-family guilt. Additionally, this study explores its moderation effects of gender roles and reducing work. As the paper argues, the existing research on this subject has had several gaps. The approach is grounded on two major theories namely role dynamics theory and source attribution perspective. A correlational research design was followed to test the proposed hypotheses. Data were collected from 127 married employees (73 males and 54 females) working in the service sector in Pakistan. Reliable and validated scales measured work-family conflict, work-family guilt, job performance, gender role orientations, and reducing work. Statistical analyses, moderated-moderated mediation, and so on were conducted on these relationships. The results showed that work-family conflict negatively impacted job performance and that work-family guilt is a significant mediator. On the contrary, though, gender role orientations as well as reducing work were not expected to moderate the mediated relationships. This study pointed out how important work-family guilt is in explaining how work-family conflict influences job performance. The study contributes to the organizational behavior literature by emphasizing the emotional mechanisms underlying WFC and their impact on employee performance. Practically, the findings underline the importance of developing organizational policies that minimize work-family conflict and provide emotional support to employees. The insights gained open new avenues for research, particularly in culturally diverse contexts like Pakistan, where traditional gender norms play a significant role in shaping work and family dynamics.

Authors: Ahmad Abid , Wadood Fazli , Khan Imran
Published: December 2024

This research uses the Socio-Technical Systems (STS) theory postulating that organizational success is a product of social and technical sub-systems, and examine the effects of generative AI on the HR practices. Furthermore, the study focuses on the mediating role of innovation climate on the relationship between generative AI and HR practices in the hospitality sector. A sample of 327 participants is selected by a convenient sampling technique from hotel employees. The data is collected through structured questionnaire and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results of the study bring essential insights into the interactions between technological dynamics and organizational environments in the case of HR functions in the technology oriented world. Findings shows that generative AI has a massive positive impact on the HR practices and innovation climate positively influence HR Practices. This finding supports the notion that Innovation Climate mediate the relation between generative AI and HR practices. The findings imply that generative AI improves HR Practices but that its full potential is unlocked with a robust innovation climate. The study’s findings contain practical and managerial implications for professionals, managers, and leaders as well as policymakers who desire to improve HR practice and create an innovative environment using generative AI. To attain benefits, HR leaders need to spend as much as they can on the AI driven tools which is capable of doing these processes but handles HR teams to work together to benefit from AI.

Authors: Adebayo Philip Omoniyi , Basaky Frederick , Osaghae Edgar
Published: December 2024

This work explores the potential of PennyLane and variational quantum-classical algorithms (VQCA) to forecast lung cancer using a structured dataset. The VQCA model performs exceptionally well, with flawless training, validation, and test accuracies of 1.0, demonstrating its capacity to identify patterns in the dataset and provide reliable predictions successfully. Contrarily, the accuracy of the quantum neural network (QNN) and classical neural network (NN) models is lower, demonstrating the benefits of utilizing quantum computing methods for enhanced predictive modeling. We provide a complete examination of the data, stressing the better performance of the VQCA model and its promise in correctly predicting lung cancer. The results highlight the importance of quantum-classical algorithms and help us understand the benefits and drawbacks of various strategies for predicting lung cancer. The study highlights the potential applications of quantum computing techniques in advancing the field of healthcare analytics. It shows the capability of the VQCA model to predict lung cancer using a tabular dataset accurately. Further research in this area is needed to explore scalability and practical implementation aspects. In summary, this study showcases the potential of VQCA and PennyLane in predicting lung cancer and underscores the benefits of quantum computing techniques in healthcare analytics.

kialakulásában. Az online adatgyűjtés 2022 novemberében zajlott Magyarországon, melynek során 400 főt
kérdeztünk meg. Az elemzésre strukturális egyenletmodellezést (SEM) alkalmaztunk. Ennek eredményeként
kijelenthetjük, hogy a szubjektív normának van a legnagyobb közvetlen hatása a megújuló energia használatának szándékára, azonban a környezeti aggodalmak által kialakított attitűdök is fontos befolyásoló tényezők.
A megújuló energia használatát népszerűsítő kampányok esetében a megújuló energiák társadalmi elfogadottságát érdemes hangsúlyozni, valamint edukálni kell a célcsoportokat, felhívni a figyelmüket az energiaproblémára és az éghajlatváltozással kapcsolatos kihívásokra.
White Extremism: A Brief Review on Origin, Behavior Indicators, and Religious Beliefs
Authors: Sukabdi Zora A.
Published: December 2024

Whiteness is fluid, as who is considered ‘white’ changes over time. Like race, whiteness is socially and politically constructed. Whiteness does not just refer to skin color; however, it is an ideology based on beliefs, values, behaviors, habits, and attitudes, which result in the unequal distribution of power and privilege based on skin color. White supremacy is defined as beliefs and ideas claiming the natural superiority of the lighter-skinned, or ‘white’, human races over other racial groups. Using a literature review, this article explores the brief history of humans’ ‘whiteness’, indicators of white extremism, and belief systems justifying white extremism. The findings reveal that humans’ whiteness has been evident since around 80,000 years ago. Moreover, white extremism’s obvious indicator is when violence is used as the only means to achieve goals, on top of other indicators. Extremism comprises radicalism, while radicalism does not always include extremism. Further, the beliefs of white supremacy may have been rooted in the story of Noah’s and Abraham’s children. These findings may help academics and practitioners understand white extremism through psychological and ideological perspectives.

The burden of NCDs, including obesity, diabetes, CVDs, and some cancers, has upped the importance of nutrition in the health of a nation. Malnutrition and over nutrition, which are the major nutritional factors, play important roles in disease distribution in the world. With regard to the analysis of this paper, the author has given a critical perspective on how dietary habits, socioeconomic factors, and cultural practices are determinants of the epidemiology of diseases. Therefore, the present paper employs a literature review, epidemiological data, and case studies to unveil the connection between diet and disease as well as the way forward. Some of the discoveries made include understanding that poor diets are the leading causes of NCDs, micronutrient deficiencies are still a problem with the poor, and processed foods are very much a threat. The discussion reviews the difficulties in shifting to a healthier diet. It presents solutions for the economic issue and the behavioral modification problem in policy-making, healthcare approaches, and public health practice.

La hipótesis de este artículo es que una mercantilización capitalista del espacio está incitando futurizaciones de la vida espacial, en gran medida inéditas, que tienen al dinero como protagonista. Frente a eso, se busca precisar de qué manera se establecen actualmente vínculos entre tecnoimaginación, dinero y colonización espacial en la configuración de una futurización específica. Prestando atención a los agentes estadounidenses, se detallan características del New Space, en contrapunto con la exploración espacial durante la Guerra fría. A continuación, se reconstruyen aspectos de la historia del dinero en la Modernidad para comprender el advenimiento y desarrollo de las criptomonedas, activo fundamental en los nuevos imaginarios. Acto seguido, el artículo ofrece una mirada crítica sobre la exploración espacial, buscando sopesar las novedades que acarrea para aquella la dominación corporativa, a través del análisis de las futurizaciones tecnocorporativas del dinero, sus implicancias en el presente y las posibilidades que incuba, considerando para ello aspectos políticos y sociales, como la soberanía, la regulación y las consecuencias éticas y ambientales de esta nueva fase de exploración.
