Efeitos do Trabalho Infantil sobre o Rendimento Futuro do Trabalho via Mediação da Educação
Authors: Santos Mateus Mota dos
Published: December 2021

Esta pesquisa analisa as consequências do trabalho infantil sobre o rendimento futuro do trabalho, transmitidas indiretamente através do nível de escolaridade. A análise de mediação causal, desenvolvida por Imai, Keele e Tingley (2010), foi aplicada aos dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) de 2014. Os resultados evidenciam que as perdas salarias sofridas pelos trabalhadores brasileiros que ingressaram precocemente no mercado de trabalho não se devem exclusivamente ao fato de ter trabalho na infância, mas também são explicadas pelo prejuízo educacional sofrido devido à inserção ocupacional prematura, a qual é responsável por 80% do efeito total estimado. Os resultados também mostram que o efeito mediação ganha força nas regiões Norte, Sudeste e Nordeste do país, onde a penalização de renda, explicada pelo efeito negativo do trabalho infantil no acúmulo de capital humano, é estimada em 28,2%, 16,8% e 16%, respectivamente.

Mục tiêu: Mô tả kết quả điều trị và xác định các yếu tố nguy cơ tử vong ở người cao tuổi bị bỏng.Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu hồi cứu được tiến hành trên 586 người cao tuổi (≥ 60 tuổi) bị bỏng điều trị tại Bệnh viện Bỏng Quốc gia từ ngày 01/01/2017 - 31/12/2019.Các chỉ tiêu nghiên cứu bao gồm: Kết quả điều trị; các dữ liệu về tuổi, giới tính, nơi cư trú, tác nhân gây bỏng, diện tích bỏng chung và bỏng sâu, các bệnh lý mạn tính nặng kèm theo, các chấn thương kết hợp, biến chứng được thu thập và phân tích đơn biến và đa biến được tiến hành để xác định các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến tử vong ở người cao tuổi bị bỏng.Kết quả: Tỷ lệ tử vong ở người cao tuổi bị bỏng là 9,6%. Thời điểm tử vong trong vòng 3 ngày đầu sau bỏng chiếm tỷ lệ cao nhất (35,7%), tiếp theo là trong tuần thứ hai sau bỏng (28,6%). Tỷ lệ tử vong ở nam (12,7%) cao hơn nữ (5,5%); nhóm bệnh nhân sống ở nông thôn (10,5%) cao hơn thành thị (8,1%). Nhóm tuổi từ 70 - 79 tuổi tỷ lệ tử vong cao nhất (11,8%), tiếp đến là nhóm tuổi từ 60 - 69 (9,3%) và ≥ 80 tuổi (7,0%). Theo tác nhân: Bỏng lửa có tỷ lệ tử vong cao nhất (19,7%). Theo hoàn cảnh bị bỏng: Tỷ lệ tử vong do tai nạn thương tích cao nhất (50%). Tỷ lệ tử vong tăng tỷ lệ thuận với diện tích bỏng chung và bỏng sâu (p < 0,05), khi có các biến chứng sốc bỏng, suy đa tạng, suy thận và sốc nhiễm khuẩn (p < 0,01); trong đó tăng rất cao ở nhóm người bệnh có diện tích bỏng chung ≥ 40% DTCT (64,4%), bỏng sâu > 20% DTCT (> 50%), nếu bỏng sâu ≥ 40% DTCT: tỷ lệ tử vong tới 94,1%. Tỷ lệ tử vong rất cao ở nhóm người bệnh bị bỏng hô hấp (95,8%). Phân tích đa biến cho thấy, bỏng hô hấp và biến chứng suy đa tạng là yếu tố độc lập với tử vong ở người cao tuổi bị bỏng (p < 0,05).Kết luận: Mặc dù đã có những tiến bộ trong điều trị, nhưng tỷ lệ tử vong ở bệnh nhân cao tuổi bị bỏng còn cao, đặc biệt ở nhóm bệnh nhân bỏng hô hấp, bệnh nhân có diện tích bỏng chung ≥ 40% DTCT, bệnh nhân bị bỏng sâu ≥ 40% DTCT; khi có các biến chứng.
Utilidad de los rescates de fauna: aportes a la historia natural de los micromamíferos en la laguna del Maule.
Authors: Mella Avila Jorge
Published: December 2021

En el sector de la Laguna del Maule (Región del Maule), y como parte de un proyecto energético, se realizó un rescate de micromamíferos, en el verano y otoño de 2014. De dicho estudio se extrajo información de historia natural de las seis especies más abundantes. Se rescataron 440 ejemplares, siendo Phyllotis darwini la especie más abundante en los rescates, con 198 ejemplares (48,10% del total), seguido de Abrothrix hirta, con 157 individuos (34,97%).  Al comparar las abundancias en los tres pisos altitudinales, se observan cambios en todas las especies. Así P. darwini, es más abundante y es la especie dominante en el piso inferior (1.400-1.500 msnm), disminuyendo gradualmente en los pisos superiores, mientras que el caso opuesto lo presenta A. hirta, cuyas capturas aumentan con la altitud, siendo dominante en el piso superior (2.100-2.200 msnm). Paynomys macronyx y Euneomys chinchilloides son especies más bien andinas en la zona central, ya que son escasas o ausentes a baja altura, y su abundancia relativa va aumentando con la altitud. Las hembras de P. darwini fueron de mayor tamaño y peso que los machos. En cuanto al uso de microhábitat, se observa un uso diferencial de cada microhábitat por rango altitudinal, con uso mayoritario por matorral en el piso bajo, mientras que en los pisos superiores se utilizan roqueríos y matorral hidrófilo. Casi todas las especies muestran flexibilidad por uso de los distintos microhábitats disponibles, excepto P. macronyx, especie que en los tres pisos altitudinales se observa en mayor proporción en el matorral hidrófilo, lo que estaría indicando preferencia. Este estudio es un ejemplo de la utilidad complementaria que pueden tener los rescates de fauna, para aportar al conocimiento de la ecología de los micromamíferos de Chile.
Provincial dynamics in the 2017 national elections in Ecuador
Authors: Dandoy Régis
Published: December 2021

This article focuses on the provincial dimension of national politics in Ecuador. Based on an empirical analysis of the party vote shares for the different elections of February 2017, it aimed at understanding why parties dominate the elections in some provinces while remaining peripheral actors in others. This territorial heterogeneity of the vote in national elections was measured using a set of three quantitative indicators: the electoral success of provincial parties, the provincial-national incongruence of the vote and the provincialization of party systems. This article concludes that the provincial distribution of the votes remains one of the key elements in order to understand national elections in Ecuador and that it relies on a subtle combination of province-specifc factors, party characteristics and party strategies.

Published: December 2021

La problemática de la nacionalización de los sistemas de partidos está vinculada con los problemas de la distribución territorial de poder y puede afectar directamente la orientación del votante, la gobernabilidad del sistema y las políticas públicas. A pesar de su importancia, este tema no ha sido estudiado a profundidad. En este artículo se analiza la evolución de la nacionalización del sistema de partidos en el Ecuador en el periodo comprendido entre 1952 y 2013, para lo cual se utilizan los resultados electorales a nivel provincial de las primeras vueltas de las elecciones presidenciales. Los resultados muestran un alto nivel de volatilidad en las dimensiones estáticas y dinámicas de la nacionalización de los partidos y desenmascaran un regionalismo persistente en los partidos políticos ecuatorianos.

La lucha de las sufragistas
Authors: Tayupanta Mauricio
Published: December 2021

A finales del siglo XIX Emma Goldman, Emily Davson, Carmen Karry crearon el movimiento sufragista inglés, considerando que Holanda y Gran Bretaña eran gobernados por mujeres: la Reina Guillermina, y la Reina Victoria. En la misma época, Paraguay tenía como protagonista a la mujer, pero no tenía derechos políticos.

En 1907 el Gran Ducado de Finlandia concedió a la mujer el voto universal, secreto y directo sin tomar en cuenta su raza, condición social o estrato económico. Matilde Hidalgo en Ecuador, fue la primera mujer ecuatoriana en exigir y lograr un bachillerato completo. También fue la primera mujer en votar. Ahora la mujer vive su derecho a elegir y ser elegida. Muchas mujeres han ocupado el sillón presidencial en Sudamérica: Lidia Gueiler Tejada en Bolivia, María Estela Martínez en Argentina, Violeta Chamorro en Nicaragua, Laura Chinchilla en Costa Rica, Michelle Bachelet en Chile, Cristina Fernández en Argentina y Dilma Roussef en Brasil.

Globalization has led companies to expand into foreign markets. These multinational enterprises (MNEs) consider diverse factors when entering a foreign country. One of the important decisions the MNEs make is the entry mode choice. Additionally, advertising intensity can be another important factor that may affect the entry mode choice. Therefore, it is important to make an analysis regarding the effect of advertising intensity on entry mode choice. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to make an evaluation regarding the impact of advertising intensity on entry mode choice. Six articles were chosen that are related to this topic to make a such investigation. The result of the evaluation showed that there are some inconsistent findings in the literature that are discussed in the paper. Apart from the inconsistencies, it can be stated that as the advertising intensity increases, the MNEs may choose wholly owned subsidiary to enter a foreign market.
Osmanlı Devleti’nde İdâdîler
Authors: Gülmez Abdurrahman
Published: December 2021

Osmanlı Devleti’nin son yüzyılının sağlıklı bir şekilde değerlendirilebilmesi için devletin bütün yönleriyle incelenmesi, özellikle de toplum için hayati öneme sahip eğitim faaliyetlerinin doğru bir şekilde analiz edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu doğrultuda idâdîler hakkında yaptığımız çalışma, sadece ülkenin eğitim durumu hakkında değil aynı zamanda Osmanlı Devleti’nin sosyal ve ekonomik durumu hakkında da bilgi verecektir.

İdâdî, günümüz ortaöğretim okullarına denk gelen okullar hakkında kullanılan bir terimdir. Hazırlama ve yetiştirme anlamlarına gelen “idâd”, ibtidâîye ve rüşdiye okullarından sonra gelmekte olup idâdîye olarak da adlandırılırdı. İdâdîler, bir ortaöğretim kurumu olarak 1869 yılında Maârif-i Umûmiye Nizamnâmesi ile ele alınmış ve bu tarihten itibaren gerçek kimliğine kavuşmuştur.

Dâr’ül-maârif binası 1873 yılında ilk mülkî idâdîye dönüştürülmüştür. 1884 yılında vergilere zam yapılma kararı alınarak taşrada birçok idâdînin yaygınlaşması amaçlanmıştır. 1913 yılında vilayet merkezlerindeki bazı idâdîler sultanîye dönüştürülmüştür. Mezunları sınavla sultanîlere devam etme hakkını elde eden idâdîler, varlığını Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarına kadar sürdürmüştür.

Published: December 2021

This study presents an analysis of risk and resilience perceptions in two villages of Far West Nepal, Sunkuda and Bajedi, located in the upper Karnali River Basin. The area has been affected by deep-seated and shallow landslides, which have had a devastating impact on many rural lives and livelihoods. While both villages are exposed to landslides, Bajedi is situated in a higher risk zone. Using structured surveys, semi-structured interviews and insights from stakeholder workshops, the risk and resilience perceptions of household residents of the two villages are elicited. The objectives of the study are 1) to understand how residents perceive their risk and resilience to landslides, and 2) to provide evidence and insights on the factors that influence risk perception. Results show that landslides are perceived as an existential risk in both villages, although risks are perceived as more serious in Bajedi. The higher risk perception in Bajedi is shown to be mainly driven by households’ ability to cope, including their energy sources, whether they know whom to call in case of a landslides, as well as household savings and income sources. In Sunkuda, risk perception is shown to be influenced by households’ access to and status of community forests, expenditure on medication, the seasonality and types of water sources, and ethnicity. In both villages, additional drivers of risk perception include households’ social networks, their perceived triggers of landslides, their outstanding loans, and who collects the water. The results demonstrate the interconnectedness of risk perception and indicators of resilience. By elucidating the risk perception of Sunkuda and Bajedi, this study has important implications for local risk management strategies and policies.

A brief overview of clinical implications of desmoglein 3 in lung cancer
Authors: Pancewicz J. , Niklinska W.
Published: December 2021

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Despite developments in personalized treatment, lung cancer is still problematic for therapy due to resistance and metastasis. Moreover, heterogeneity of lung cancers makes treatment difficult. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find novel prognostic and diagnostic markers. Desmosomal proteins seem to be a good candidate to be acknowledged due to their function in the cell. Desmosomal proteins are known to be responsible for accurate cell–to–cell adhesion in physiological conditions. In cancer cells, the destabilization of desmosomes by the loss of proteins promotes the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which is strongly connected to metastasis. Desmoglein 3 is one of the desmosomal proteins often deregulated in cancer, including lung cancer. Taking the above, our goal was to analyze the results on DSG3 function and its clinical implications in lung cancer.

Published: December 2021

Gdy Państwo Islamskie zajęło Mosul, pojawiły się opinie, że Irak jest tworem sztucznym i nieuchronny będzie jego rozpad. Wskazywano, że państwo to powstało w wyniku układu Sykes–Picot. W poglądach tych nie uwzględniano jednak ani historycznego faktu funkcjonowania pojęcia „Irak”, ani jego znaczenia, zwłaszcza w XIX wieku, ignorowano również powiązania wilajetów bagdadzkiego, mosulskiego i basryjskiego oraz rolę irackich nacjonalistów w doprowadzeniu do powstania Iraku w obecnych granicach. Tezę o sztuczności Iraku wykorzystywały inne państwa, zwłaszcza Wielka Brytania, do uzasadniania konieczności objęcia tego kraju protektoratem
The incidence of anxiety in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus
Authors: Arsović Nenad , Dudvarski Zoran , Šolaja Gabrijela
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Tinnitus is a perception of a sound in the ears in the absence of acoustic stimulation whose pathophysiological mechanisms have not been evaluated yet. Approximately, 1-2% of people report distress which can negatively affect their daily performance. Our study aimed to assess the incidence of anxiety in patients with tinnitus. Methods. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study. The participants were divided into two groups: a group of 73 patients with tinnitus (with two subgroups in relation to the duration of tinnitus-less than one year and more than one year) and a control group of 43 patients without tinnitus. We examined the presence of anxiety in all patients using the Burns Anxiety Inventory (BAI). The quality of life of all patients was estimated by Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). Results. In the group of patients with tinnitus, 56.2% of them had mild and 24.7% moderate hearing loss, while 27.7% of respondents from control group had mild and 8.5% moderate levels of hearing impairment. THI results showed that patients with tinnitus less than 1 year had a significantly (p= 0.002) higher level of disorders in daily life, compared with the group who had tinnitus for more than 1 year. The 30.8% of respondents had minimal anxiety, 26.7% borderline anxiety, 17.5% mild anxiety, the same percentage of respondents moderate, 5% severe, while 2.5% had extreme anxiety based on BAI. Conclusion. Anxiety can be considered as potentially significant modulators of changes in brain structures observed in people with tinnitus.
The function of autophagy as a fundamental process of preserving cell homeostasis
Authors: Elez-Burnjaković Nikolina , Pojskić Lejla , Haverić Sanin , Smajlović Ajla
Published: December 2021

Autophagy is a dynamic process, conserved in all eukaryotes. It is responsible for the degradation of cytoplasmic content. Autophagy is crucial in cell survival and cell death. It plays a significant role in the cell response to stress, nutrient deficiencies, embryonic development, tumor suppression, response to pathogens and aging. The process of autophagy is also involved in the pathology of human diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Autophagy is a mechanism that involves degradation of cells, proteins, damaged organelles and pathogens through the lysosomal mechanisms, thus autophagy supports cell survival during starvation, hypoxia and metabolic stress. However, if extensive and/or excessive, autophagy can promote apoptosis (type I) or function as an alternative cell-death pathway, called autophagic cell death (type II). Autophagy can either promote cancer cell death, or serve as a survival mechanism against apoptosis or necrosis induced by various anticancer treatments. Given the contradictory role of autophagy during tumor initiation and progression, the use of autophagy in therapy depends on the context and must be approached individually
Puberphonia: From classic to modern approach
Authors: Vuković Bojana , Ćalasan Sladjana
Published: December 2021

Voice is a significant component of communication that allows us to express information and emotions, so it is the foundation of verbal communication. Maturation of the body involves dilation of the larynx and lower positioning of the larynx in the neck, resulting in multiple changes in voice quality. The rapid changes in the human larynx during puberty are more evident in males. Such changes can result in voice mutation - puberphonia. Puberphonia, also called mutational dysphonia or mutational falsetto, is the failure of a natural decrease in fundamental frequency or pitch. We can also defined puberphonia as persistent adolescent voice even after puberty in the absence of organic cause. This functional voice disorder can have multiple consequences on the personality and quality of life of an individual that often encounters problems that include psychological, emotional, social, and professional difficulties. This article aims to review the relevant and accessible literature on puberphonia in a comprehensive concise manner, highlighting the etiology, prevalence, clinical manifestation, consequences on quality of life, as well as evolution of the approach and attitude to its treatment.
Endowments in European law: Current state and perspectives
Authors: Veselinov Jelena
Published: December 2021

Throughout history, endowment, although with the same content, has developed differently in European countries in terms of law. The national legal regulations of the countries in this area define the basic elements, legal status and functioning of legal entities established in the spirit of endowment differently. The idea of the European Union as a market characterized by the free flow of people and capital inevitably led to the emergence of a very complex set of rules that apply to the member states of this union. The inclusion of endowments in the single market and the growing number of those characterized by internationally useful goals often lead to insurmountable problems in the operations of endowments outside national borders due to national legislations of EU countries not being synchronized, regardless of the general aim to create a single space without any barriers to the flow of people, services and capital. This is the starting point used to examine the subject of this paper - the need to regulate and resolve situations in the functioning of endowments and foundations in Europe: by creating special rules at the EU level and equalizing or harmonizing rules relating to these non-profit organizations. The subject of the research was chosen because of the importance of the topic in the process of developing private EU law in the non-profit sector. The aim of this paper is to analyze the legal regulations related to endowments and foundations in the national legislations of the EU member states comparatively in terms of law, but also to analyze the proposals for creating uniform legal rules.

When designed to the seismic load effects, reinforced concrete walls connected by slabs without coupling beams are usually considered cantilever walls. Several recent studies indicated that slabs themselves could provide strong coupling in some cases, and the walls could respond differently from cantilever walls. To study the slab-to-wall piers interaction, a shake table test of the half-scale three-story specimen was conducted within HORIZON 2020 SERA-TA project. The specimen consisted of four rectangular walls linked by three slabs. It was subjected to a series of seismic excitations of increasing intensity. In the last three tests, the nonlinear response of the slabs and wall piers was observed. At the strong seismic excitations, one pier was subjected to strong tensile, while the adjacent pier was subjected to strong compression forces. The crack pattern of piers was asymmetric and different from the cross-shaped damage pattern, typical for cantilever walls. The coupling of wall piers provided by slabs was considerably stronger than it was expected. The share of the overturning moment resisted by the frame action induced by the slabs was more than 50%. All slabs were fully activated and significantly damaged. Their damage was primarily flexural. The effective width of slabs was equal to their total width.
Use of energy drinks and their impact on the body based on the view of student population

Published: December 2021

In recent years, studies have often been devoted to the frequent on frequency , motives and consequences of consuming energy drinks by the student population at universities. These studies have been common in many countries. The aim of this study was to identify the patterns of energy drink consumption among college students of the Serbian University of Belgrade and to understand the attitudes, motives and consequences of consuming these beverages. The result of this study indicates that energy drink consumption is a common practice among Serbian university students (72.0% use energy drinks and 1.1% consume them regularly). Out of the total number of surveyed students 12.9% consumed energy drinks with alcohol. The most frequent negative effects in students who had used energy drinks were: weight gain (24.2%), headaches (2.6%), thirst (18.9%) and hunger (11.6%). Many of the students surveyed (62.0%) cited that their main motive for using energy drinks was improving their academic capabilities, commonly used as a way to study longer and improve mental focus. But, 10.5% of the surveyed students felt the effect of increased concentration after using energy drinks. This indicated the students' confusion and disagreement between their motives for using energy drinks and the effects achieved. A large number of surveyed students (85.3%) did not check the composition of energy drinks before consumption. The results show that students need education in this regard. This research is part of a study called "Attitudes and Behavior of Students in relation to Food and Nutrition" and is a form of preventive action to combat the widespread use of energy drinks in the student population.
Didaktički koncept Learners as designers u nastavi nemačkog kao stranog jezika

Published: December 2021

This paper deals with the didactic concept of Learners As Designers (Jonassen and Reeves, 1996) which is based on the assumption that digital media have the potential to accompany, support, and complement the learning process as a cognitive tool, to enable active knowledge construction and transfer, and to change the role of learners in the classroom. The events triggered by the pandemic have reinforced the need for distance learning, which requires the ability to work autonomously, to further develop learning strategies supported by digital tools, and to develop key competencies. The study aimed to determine the potential of the Learners As Designers concept to motivate students to learn autonomously, apply new vocabulary learning strategies supported by digital tools, and improve their digital literacy. The study was conducted in 2019/2020 among 78 students of German for Specific Purposes at the University of Belgrade, Singidunum University Belgrade, Serbia, and University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The students used the digital tool Quizlet to consolidate lexical items. Data were collected through a questionnaire with open and closed questions. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that students spend more time on vocabulary learning than before. The qualitative analysis reflects their opinion that they learned more and were motivated because of the opportunity to create learning material autonomously and collaboratively. There is also a trend of increased vocabulary learning frequency, especially with the support of digital tools.
Intensification of diamond purification from hydrophilic minerals in foam separation process

The reason for diamond loss in foam separation process consists in the fact that the diamond crystals fed to the foam separation are coated with hydroxides and carbonates. A combined method to restore the diamond hydrophobicity through thermal and electrochemical destruction of the mineral coat was proposed. This method provides for the conditioning stage in the foam separation process to enable decreasing the amount of the minerals coating diamonds surface from 3 to 10 times. Technological research showed that using products of diaphragm less electrolysis of recirculating water, with the thermal treatment of the foam separation feed enables increasing the recovery of diamonds in the foam separation concentrate from 76.5% to 83.7%.
The post-postmodern subject: The role of narrative imagination in construing of the subject
Authors: Popović Velimir
Published: December 2021

The so-called "postmodern turn" has produced a sense of turmoil in contemporary philosophy and the humanities, subverting the Western mind and provoking doubts in its existence, sense of meaning and purpose. It disputes almost all basic premises of modernity. For example, notions such as: the self, the subject, imagination, became a target of vicious attacks by postmodern thinkers. Counter to the modern notion of the subject, the postmodern subject lacks an essential core of identity: it is fragmented, decentered, in the process of perpetual change or disintegration. A "thinking and reflecting" subject who looks inward to inspect the self is denied, as neither such an interiorized being that examines, conceptualize and interacts with others, nor interiority as such, exist. The subject is nowadays advised to search outward for the ways to interact with the social world, because this a privileged way of construing one's self. In similar fashion, imagination is obliterated and devoid of its creative powers. The "imaginary", as a reference to an impersonal entity, is substituted for the notion of imagination. While the latter stands for an "author" or "creator" who produces or creates images, the former is nothing creative in itself. The outcome is that, in the postmodern theory, the imagination is seen as an obsolete mental ability which is deposed of its power to create meaning. My intention in this paper is not to reanimate the modern notions of the self, the subject and imagination, but rather to consent with the postmodern verdict and proceed onward. It is my intention to build a post-postmodern notion of the self. The purpose of my paper is to introduce a post-Jungian account of the importance that the narrative and imagination have in human life for the constitution of subjectivity and the self.
Aesthetics and its importance for education in art
Authors: Ratković Andrea
Published: December 2021

The author of this paper seeks to draw public attention to the position and importance of aesthetics for education in art. Therefore, this paper will present some critical deliberations about the significance of modern education in art, aiming at finding potential answers to the following question: What are the new conceptions of education in art? Within the framework of philosophy of art and bearing in mind some of the leading (pre)aesthetic conceptions of art, the abovementioned question will be broken down into its key aspects in order to emphasize its complexity, and also the inability to provide a final and universally applicable answer. In that regard, special attention will be paid to deliberations about contemporary tendencies regarding education in art, in order to highlight possible challenges and potentials regarding the artist, the recipient of a work of art, and, finally, the art theorist. These tendencies will be analysed with regard to insights into current cultural and artistic practice, as well as the social phenomena (in)directly affecting them.
Culture from simulation to simulacrum and back
Authors: Milić Novica
Published: December 2021

Reality show or Reality TV programme is a symptom of the new pairing of the metaphysic of the "two worlds" and the contemporary technology. To analyse it as a symptom - i.e. a set of related signs - we need to use semiology of the media, separating the key codes as sets of rules and protocols for signifying practices that produce such TV programmes. In the analysis, these codes, taken here in their minimal but most important numbers, are shown as also the codes which produce everyday circulation of our representations and discourses, and open up a series of new questions. For example, to what extent is the reality show an image of everyday life, is it a simulation (imitation, mimesis) of it, or is it a simulacrum, as a structure of signs, which is beyond the old opposition of a model and a copy? Or perhaps, what we witness is a turn in communication where everyday picture of the world becomes a simulation of this simulacrum, that is an imitation of a reality programme as a pairing of metaphysics and technology?
Some examples of interaction between dominant and non-dominant models in history of thought
Authors: Milanković Aleksandar
Published: December 2021

What are the types of interaction between dominant and non-dominant models in history of ideas? Is it the case that dominant paradigms of thought and "absolute pre-suppositions" of one age are permeated with non-dominant, different or even opposite sets of ideas, pre-suppositions and beliefs? If so, to what extent? Is it possible to control trajectories of ideas, their circulation and historical interactions in processes of suppressing the non-dominant models (by eradicating material traces and destroying their proponents)? How do suppressed ideas influence dominant models of thought?
Constructing of the narcissistic artistic character in the autobiography of Salvador Dali: Salvador Dali with an insight into the painting metamorphosis of narcissus, and the Dali museum/bequests
Authors: Popović-Bodroža Ana
Published: December 2021

By applying the methodology of transdisciplinary studies, this work examines the phenomenon of Narcissism and narcissistic artistic character in the autobiography of Salvador Dali "I am the genius" (The Secret World of Salvador Dali), in the paining "The Metamorphosis of Narcissus", and in Dali's original poetry through the prisms of mythology, psychoanalysis and psychosexuality by constructing of the narcissistic character (artistic "Persona") as a model for identity strategies in contemporary art practices. The text is analysing some of Dali's unique personality characteristics and creative and personal expression, with a special insight into his childhood and the term of narcissistic personality structure according to Sigmund Freud, also analysing the key-role of Gala Dali. The text includes some postulates of the art movement of Surrealism that Dali applied in his work, from the "Surrealism Manifesto" and the Surrealism practices. In a case study, the text analyses the painting "Metamorphosis of Narcissus", its content, symbolism, style and visual elements. A possible influence of Sigmund Freud is described, and Dali's original method of "Critical Paranoia" is elaborated. The closing sections are describing the fascinating dimensions of the personality cult that Dali and his narcissistic character reached in the last years of his life. A special focus is made on the musealisation of Dali - his numerous museums and bequests, memorials and collections, the founding of which has contributed to the building of a permanent monument to the artist and finally to the establishment of his status of a mythical personality - the "Dali" brand.
Legacies to the collection of coins and medals of the Belgrade City Museum
Authors: Vasić-Derimanović Jelena
Published: December 2021

Two of the twenty-eight legacies to the Belgrade City Museum are found in the "Collection of Money and Medals": the bequests of Đorđe Novaković and Svetozar St. Dušanić. These collections were donated to the Museum in the 1970s. After a brief review of the concept and the legal status of legacies in view of the Serbian cultural milieu and policies, the paper demonstrates a study of two bequests - the paper banknotes and the Roman coins from the "Collection for Money and Medals". In addition to the short history of each legacy, the manner in which they were formed, including their contents, an attempt was made to search available documentation in the museum archives to demonstrate how the collections were donated to the Museum and "established" as legacies. The work also considers to what extent and with what success the Museum activities have been carried out in practice, namely: preservation, conservation, restoration and documentation filing, as well as communication activities which include exhibitions and education
Greenfield investments as a form of investing in the Serbian economy
Authors: Gogić Nemanja
Published: December 2021

The starting point of the research is to answer the question of whether Green-field investments as a form of investment stimulate Serbia's economic development. The greatest attention is focused on analysis, comparative analysis, statistical analysis, collecting quantitative, qualitative, chronological data and deduction methods. Survey results show that Greenfield investment in the services sector does not bring economic growth and development in the long run. Only Greenfield investments that are invested in the processing sector, and those export-oriented Greenfield companies, can have a positive impact on the economic development of the economy. To attract Greenfield investments, the external environment needs to be improved. The ease and ease of doing business is a positive signal for attracting more investment. Serbia still applies as a country with high corruption, low levels of rules of law, and high levels of administrative procedures, which create a serious barrier to attracting Greenfield investment.
The economics aspect of money laundering
Authors: Stevandić Nataša
Published: December 2021

The forms of threat to a country's economic system are very diverse. In modern times, perfidious systems of activity of organized crime groups are coming to light, especially in the field of organized crime. One such criminal activity is certainly money laundering, which is increasingly becoming a serious international problem. Money laundering is basically the legalization of capital acquired through criminal activity. As a criminal activity, it directly negatively affects the economics, political, legal, cultural and other significant values of a society. The most visible consequences of money laundering (most of which are economics in nature) are: undermining the integrity of financial markets, eroding control over economics policy, economic instability, loss of public revenue, deformation of savings and consumption, jeopardizing reform programs, loss of state reputation, etc. Money laundering is a complex and serious challenge for states and the entire international community. Considering that national strategies are not sufficient to combat this problem, a successful transnational approach and strategy are required.
