Published: March 2021

Physical Activity (PA) is connected with many health benefits and leads to a better quality of life. However, the modern way of life imposes such high levels of sedentary behaviours that physical inactivity is among the key risk factors for mortality. People’s participation in active recreational and/or exercise programmes that increase the levels of PA seems imperative if their health is to be enhanced. The aim of this study was to examine the potential differences between the PA offered by Greek Traditional Dance (GTD) and Tennis to adult participants. One hundred and two adults, aged 20 to 76 years, members of GTD (n=57) and Tennis (n=45) clubs, volunteered to participate in the study. The PA gathered during GTD or Tennis was recorded during two randomly selected sessions with Omron 720 pedometers. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was computed on the participants’ total steps (TS) and aerobic steps (AS). Statistically significant differences were found between GTD and Tennis in TS (F1,100=35.18, p<.001, η2=.26) in favour of GTD, but not in AS (F1,100=.87, p=.35, η2=.009). It can be concluded that GTD sessions offer higher levels of ambulatory activity than Tennis. However, taking into account both the recommendations of daily PA for adults (>10.000 steps/day) and the finding of previous studies reporting PA accumulated during various recreational/sport activities, it appears that both GTD and Tennis can significantly help people achieve satisfactory PA levels.

The aim of this research was to examine the effects of a 6-week off-season period on body composition and muscle fitness in young soccer players. A total of 48 young soccer players, randomly selected for the experimental group-EG (n=24; Age: 16.83±1.14 years; Height: 175.35±6.68 cm) and control group-CG (n=24; Age: 16.80±1.19 years; Height: 178.18±6.97 cm) took part in this research. The variables of body composition (body mass, body fat mass and BMI) and muscle fitness (CMJ, CMJAS, 20m sprint, slalom test and slalom test with ball) were measured. The first testing session (TS1) took place immediately after the end of the competition period. The second testing session (TS2) was after 2 weeks and the third testing session (TS3) was after 6 weeks from the beginning of the preparation period. Statistically significant differences were found after TS2 and TS3 in all the variables (p<0.05) except in the variables of agility (slalom test and slalom test with a ball) in CG. A significant difference in the experimental group after TS2 was found in the 20m sprint (p<0.05) and after TS3 in body mass (p<0.05), body fat mass (p<0.05), BMI (p<0.05) and the 20m sprint (p<0.05). An effect size analysis showed significant increases after TS2 between EG and CG in the variable body fat mass (ES=-0.73, moderate) and significant decreases in the variable CMJAS (ES=0.60, moderate). Significant increases after TS3 between EG and CG were found in the variable body fat mass (ES=-0.93, moderate) and significant decreases in both the variable of jumping performance CMJ (ES=0.81, moderate) and CMJAS (ES=0.91, moderate).

Published: March 2021

The aim of the current study is to compare the perceived exertion and moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) among first grade middle school students in physical education (PE) classes given by PE teachers with higher or lower experience than 16 years. Eighty-seven PE lessons conducted by PE teachers with ≥ 16 years of experience (n=35) and teachers with ˂ 16 years of experience (n=52) were evaluated by 348 middle school students (Mean age=12.2±0.5 years). To determine the perceived exertion, the pictorial children's effort rating table (PCERT) was completed, after PE. Children chose an option on an illustrated scale 1–10 perceived exertion. The moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was evaluated using the System for Observing Fitness and Instruction Time (SOFIT) assessing the intensity as the proportion of time that students spent engaged in walking and very active PA during PE. A cross-sectional design was used, the equality of variance was calculated using the Student t-test for independent samples resulting in MVPA (P-value=.659) and perceived exertion (P-value=.205) α≤ than 0.05. In both groups, the average value of perceived exertion was less than 5 points on the scale, which is insufficient to enhance physical fitness. The MVPA did not achieve international guidelines of engaging students in at least 50% of the lessons time in walking and very active PA. It is recommended for PE teachers to develop pedagogical strategies contributing from the school environment to guide students in educational contents for health through PA, as established by UNESCO and recommended by the World Health Organization.

Published: March 2021

The aim of this research was to define differences in functional and mechanical characteristics of isometric hand grip (HG) strength between young female handball players and the CG comprised of physically active girls with no experience in sport. 70 individuals participated in the research, 36 of whom were the best young female handball players (of cadet and junior categories) while 34 girls comprised the CG. The results obtained show that the young female handball players who took part in the tests achieved Fmax at the levels from 306.4±40.8 to 335.5±47.0 N and RFDmax at the levels ranging from 1918.1±366.8 to 2174.4±382.1 N/s for the non-dominant and dominant hand. When these results are compared to the ones achieved by the CG it is clear that the young female handball players had a statistically significant higher level of the maximum HG force of both arms as well as the higher level of maximum explosiveness. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding all the indexes of dimorphism (ID) as well as the values of the time needed for achieving the maximum intensity of muscle excitation (tRFDmax). Therefore, it can be concluded that the handball players who underwent the testing procedures showed positive adaptation from the aspect of the mechanical characteristics of hand grip strength, which can most likely be ascribed to the phenomenon of biological adaptation to the training stimuli characteristic for handball. However, the same influence was not detected from the aspect of functional characteristics, more precisely, dimorphism.

Published: March 2021

The main aim of this research was to determine to which degree the system of variables used to evaluate specific motor skills correlated with the system of variables used to evaluate successful performance in football play. The study was conducted on a sample of 170 senior football players. There were 16 predictor variables to assess specific motor skills and eight criterion variables to assess successful performance. A canonical correlation analysis was applied in the statistical procedure to determine the relationships (correlations) between these spaces. Correlations were established between the investigated spaces with four pairs of canonical factors, and it has been shown that situational motor skills have high correlations with performance success in the game of football (Can R.=0.71, on average). It is indicated that the participants whose performance in football play was more successful also had better situational motor skills and that the mechanism for structuring movement is shown to be of great importance for the successful performance of tactical and technical elements in football players.
PHYSICAL FITNESS OF BOYS PERTAINING TO UNDERWEIGHT, OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
Authors: Wasiluk Agnieszka , Saczuk Jerzy
Published: March 2021

Together with the changing socio-economic status of the Polish society, differences in the nutritional status of children and youth and their lower physical fitness levels are becoming more noticeable. The aim of this research was to define changes that occurred over a 10-year period regarding physical fitness of boys with proper weight-height proportions and of their underweight, overweight and obese counterparts. In 2004/05, somatic features and physical fitness were examined in 16116 and 9507 boys, respectively, aged 10-18. Ten years later somatic features and physical fitness assesmensts were repeated in 6972 and 6834 boys aged 10 to 18. The participants performed Eurofit tests and their body height and body mass were measured in order to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI). The ten-year differences in physical fitness were expressed on a T point scale, while their extent was estimated with the Student’s t-test for independent data. The frequency of occurrence of underweight and overweight was expressed in percentage values and verified with the use of the χ² test.  In the analysed decade, an increase in the frequency of occurrence of both overweight and serious underweight was noted. It resulted in a lower level of physical fitness in children and youth belonging to the aforementioned groups. The most serious negative changes were noted in boys aged 13-15. It can be concluded that unless remedial programmes are implemented, the young generation will experience biological deterioration in the decades to come, which may result in an epidemic of lifestyle diseases in younger and younger individuals.

Published: March 2021

The aim of this research is to determine the changes in aerobic endurance of students achieved after taking part in Special Physical Education 1, general part - SPE 1 program activities realization. The initial and final measurements of aerobic endurance (Cooper’s test of running for 12 minutes) in 119 of students (39 female and 80 male students, aged 19 to 21) of the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies in Belgrade-CPU students were carried out during the freshmen year of undergraduate studies at the beginning and the end of the summer semester, i.e., at the entrance exam and after SPE 1 realization. The Student’s t-test for dependent samples was used to determine the significance of the differences between the variables monitored at the initial and the final measurement. The results for the sample of female students (N=39) showed that after teaching SPE 1, a statistically significant change (p<0.018) in the aerobic endurance occurred (M=2288.2±218.27m, Mean±SD; t=-2.473 at the final measurement vs M=2226.8±277.07m, Mean±SD at the initial measurement). The results obtained for the sample of male students (N=80) showed also that after realized teaching SPE 1, a statistically significant change (p<0.021) in the above mentioned variable occurred, also (M=2847.7±185.77m, Mean±SD; t=-2.512 at the final measurement vs M=2747.8 ±237.03m, Mean±SD at the initial measurement). It can be concluded that after the SPE 1 course taught during the freshmen year of undergraduate studies aerobic endurance significantly improved in students of both genders.

Published: March 2021

The goal of this paper is to find and examine an effective methodological model that would enable students to adopt the learning content of children’s folk dances accompanied by singing more successfully, and to develop a better sense of coordination, through the integration of Physical Education and Music Education. An experimental method with two parallel groups (EG – experimental and CG – control group) was applied. The experimental program was based on the recommended learning topics including children’s folk dances accompanied by singing for the subjects Music Education and Physical Education. The integrated approach was applied with the students from the EG in learning about children’s folk dances accompanied by singing, while the traditional learning approach was used with the students from the CG (they did not learn about the children’s folk dances accompanied by singing through the integrated learning approach). In this research, a testing technique was applied with the students from both the EG and CG in order to check the level of coordination, and the instruments used were the Coordination Ability Assessment. The results obtained indicate that the students from the EG showed better coordination skills compared to the students who were not included in the experimental program. It is important to emphasize that the results obtained proved the connection between physical abilities and movement techniques in children’s folk dances accompanied by singing, which supports the need to start with coordination practice as early as possible in primary school, which will bring good results in individuals’ life later on.

The first aim of the study was to determine if there are significant gender differences in newly applied motor skills tests in primary-school children concerning the protocol applied. The second aim was to determine how the newly implemented protocol using a video demonstration of the task affects the differences in outcome between boys and girls compared to the standard motor skills assessment protocol without a video demonstration. The total number of participants was 327, consisting of 186 boys and 141 girls aged 10.5 years. The students were divided into two subgroups based on the protocol applied. The sample of variables consisted of four motor skills assessment tests: the shuttle-run, partial curl-up, 90° push-ups, back-saver sit-and-reach (right and left leg) tests. A three-factor variance analysis investigated the effects of protocol and gender on the result in each test. Statistically significant differences between boys and girls were obtained in the initial measurement and after applying the protocols in the mentioned tests. In the back-saver sit-and-reach (right leg) test, the difference was not significant in the initial measurement with the standard protocol, while it was significant after it was applied. In the curl-up test, there were no differences in scores between boys and girls when using both protocols. Differences in the outcomes after the application of the video demonstration protocol were evident in both genders, and a markedly significant increase occurred in the application of the tests 90° push-ups and curl-up tests, which assess strength.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether different seasons could influence fitness test performance in law enforcement recruits. Retrospective examination was conducted on data from four classes, which included 375 recruits (302 males, 73 females) from an agency. The classes were fitness tested during four different seasons in southern California (Fall: n=89, temperature=22-28°C, humidity=20-32%; Winter: n=84, temperature=18-26°C,humidity=8-11%; Spring: n=102, temperature=22-29°C, humidity=23-50%; Summer: n=100, temperature=21-25°C, humidity=39-71%). Fitness testing occurred in the week prior to academy and included: the vertical jump (VJ); push-ups and sit-ups completed in 60 s; and the 20-m multistage fitness test (20MSFT). A one-way ANOVA was used with Bonferroni post hoc (p<0.05) adjustment to calculate any between-class differences. There were no significant between-class differences for the VJ (p=0.197) and sit-ups (p=0.352). Winter and Summer recruits completed 16% and 19% significantly more push-up repetitions than Spring recruits (p≤0.029). Winter recruits completed 16-22% significantly more MSFT shuttles than Fall, Spring and Summer classes recruits (p≤0.009, 16%, 22%, and 18%, respectively). Variability in fitness test performance across the seasons may be due to class-to-class fitness variations in recruits. However, recruits in the Winter class were clearly superior in the 20MSFT, which is an aerobic maximal running test. Hotter temperatures can increase cardiovascular strain, while humidity can decrease sweat evaporation rates, which can impact a test such as the 20MSFT. Law enforcement staff may need to consider ambient temperatures and humidity during fitness tests due to potential negative effects on recruit performance.

elf-efficacy is an assessment of an individual's own ability to organize and perform certain actions necessary to achieve the desired outcomes, and its development is very important. The research aimed to determine whether participation in sports and success in playing sports are associated with more pronounced self-efficacy in people with disabilities, and included two studies. The aim of the first study was to examine the differences in self-efficacy between those who play sports (goalball) and those who do not play sports on a sample of people with visual impairment, as well as whether this difference exists between goalball players of different levels of performance. The aim of the second study was to examine the existence of differences in self-efficacy between wheelchair basketball players and non-wheelchair basketball players. The Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale consisting of ten statements was used as the measuring instrument and the respondents stated how much each item refers to them on a five-point Likert-type scale (from 0 to 4). In data processing the statistical method of the t-test, univariate analysis of variance (One way ANOVA), as well as the Post-Hoc test, were used. The results show that people with disabilities who play sports have more pronounced self-efficacy compared to those who do not play sports, as well as compared to athletes without disabilities. Statistical differences in self-efficacy between athletes with disabilities of different levels of performance have not been identified.

Published: March 2021

The current study focuses on presenting the learning situation and the development of productive skills, namely, speaking and writing in a sample of second year students of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Belgrade. More specifically, the study consists of two parts. Initially, the paper presents the foreign language approach of teaching Greek at the B1 level as a foreign language and the teaching materials used within a specific Greek language course – Praktikum. Secondly, two tasks are administered to the subjects of the study in order to examine their productive skills and perform an error analysis of their output, followed by a questionnaire where they evaluate themselves and also the teaching process. The aim of the research is twofold: on the one hand, to show whether each student applies the same strategies in speaking and in writing, and to present the different dynamics that affect productive skills.

Turbulent conditions on the Serbian market, the deep consequences of the global economic crisis that have shaken the already weakened economy are strong reasons for constant monitoring of business in Serbia. Identifying financial problems in a company that lead to bankruptcy reduces the risk of potential losses. The aim of the paper is to compare the Altman model and the Zmijewski model that are applied in companies in Serbia and by that to conclude which one gives better results for predicting bankruptcy. Also, the paper will examine the significance of individual ratios in models using correlation analysis.The results of the survey showed that the accuracy of predicting the bankruptcy of the Altman model for emerging markets on Serbian companies undergoing bankruptcy proceedings, is high, 88.68% for one and 79.25% for two years before the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. The accuracy of the Zmijewski model is slightly higher than the Altman model for one year before the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings and amounts to 90.57%. Two years before bankruptcy, the Zmijewski model's accuracy is the same as with the Altman model (79.25%). When it comes to the overall sample (undergoing bankruptcy proceedings companies and non-bankruptcy companies), the average accuracy of the Zmijewski model is higher than the Altman model (89.62% > 85.22%). Based on Pearson's correlation coefficient, we have established that one year before initiating bankruptcy, there is almost an impeccably perfect positive relationship between the ratio of working capital and total assets on one side, and Z’’- score on the other. The Zmijewski coefficient has an almost perfect negative relationship with the indebtedness ratio. By observing both models, it can be concluded that companies in Serbia had a problem with liquidity, indebtedness and the impossibility of returning the invested funds, which contributed to the poor financial situation and initiation of bankruptcy proceedings.

Published: March 2021

This paper analyzes the right of a database manufacturer which is the exclusive right that authorizes its holder to prohibit or permit another to use a particular database, i.e. the collection of regulated and systematized data, copyright works or other materials that are available electronically or otherwise. However, the database can be a collection in terms of the copyright of the collection, so it also represents the content of the analysis in this paper. The subject of comparative analysis are the provisions of the current regulations in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, and determining their compliance with the Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases. The analysis used a historical legal and normative legal method. Based on the analysis, the authors point out that the adopted solutions for the protection of databases in the EU greatly influenced the adoption of the corresponding regulations in the Republic of Serbia, concluding that the regulations governing this area in the Republic of Serbia are almost completely aligned with the EU regulations.

The paper analyzes the key aspects of economic inequality in the light of conflicting attitudes and arguments of various theoretical and methodological concepts. The conclusions of the empirical studies are outlined and indicate that economic growth is threatened in the conditions of escalation of inequality and the resultant undermining of the stability and efficiency of the economic and institutional system. On the other hand, we also evaluate the findings of those surveys showing that a strong redistribution of income leads to the reduction of the rate of economic growth, emphasizing that inequality is an important feature of the market economy. At the same time, we identify objective difficulties and the causes of insufficiently relevant understanding of problems related to uneven distribution of income, and the key dilemmas regarding the scientific evaluation of the implications of economic inequality are analyzed. It is pointed out that there is a need to distance the academic community from presenting empirically unfounded observations and unjustified exaggerations, as well as underestimating the economic and social challenges of solving the problem of uneven distribution of income. In this context, the results of the researches of economic inequality in the Republic of Serbia were analyzed, with reference to the role, position and orientation of the state in terms of designing and implementing measures aimed at mitigating its consequences on the economy and society.

Right of access to justice is a fundamental human right, guaranteed on both the international and national levels. Even though generally available to everyone, the right of access to justice is not equally exercised by men and women. On the one hand, women are less likely to bring a claim, including the application in front of international courts; on the other hand, women more frequently face challenges if they decide to protect their rights in the court of law. The author analyzes relevant international and national documents and the available case law, and tries to answer the following questions: what prevents women to exercise the right of access to justice at the time when the equality of men and women is an ideal pursued, supported and promoted both at the national and the international levels; what is the procedural position and treatment of women who bring the claim, and what is the position of female witnesses, judges and public prosecutors; what is the role of stereotypes and biases in court proceedings, and what are the mechanisms for overcoming these issues?

This paper studies the concept of the individual occurring in personal dating ads published in Serbian and German print and electronic media. The research is based upon existing studies of dominant values, but takes into account the fulfillment of an individual’s expectations vis-à-vis her/his potential partner as well. The values, as abstract categories, represent the basis for the very process of creating an ad by its author, while at the same time they are indicators of the dominant social attitudes. By applying the method of contrastive, content and statistical analysis, culture-based similarities and differences, as well as the typical concepts of men and women have been determined. The results of the study show that there occur, in fact, certain differences in the concept of the individual in Serbian and German ads. These originate from different values and orientations of the two societies. On the other hand, some discrepancies are sex-related.

In the early 2000s, estimates indicated the presence of over a million pieces of firearms and a large amount of ammunition in the possession of Serbian citizens. At the same time, the demographics of domestic violence pointed to the consequences of the misuse of firearms in the context of family and partner violence. A large number of women’s killings (annually between 30 and 40) also raised the issue of possession of (non) legal weapons, as well as the adequate response of institutions in preventing fatal outbreaks. On the basis of the fact that Serbia passed the Law on Weapons and Ammunition in 2015, in 2013 it ratified the Istanbul Convention and adopted the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence in 2016, and the statistics on the death by murder of women in the context of domestic violence, the analytical approach in the paper focuses on seeking the answer to the question: whether the existing legislative framework provides for the protection of victims of violence against the misuse of firearms? The findings of study indicate the need to enhance the coherence of the legislative response to the risks posed by the presence of firearms in the family context, as well as establishing stronger links between the legislative framework for the control of firearms and the laws governing the response to domestic violence and partner violence.
THE RELATION BETWEEN FREEDOM OF TESTATION AND CONTRACTUAL FREEDOM FROM THE INHERTIANCE LAW PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Đurđić Tamara
Published: March 2021

Contractual and testamentary freedoms are the pillars of modern civil society and are manifested through the possibility of concluding a contract as inter vivos means of regular property exchange, or through testament as non-regular means of property disposition since its effect is attached to the testator’s death. The modern inheritance law is characterized by the trend of contractualization, thus some means of arranging post-mortal distribution of property (inheritance) appear in form of contractual disposition. Their introduction into some legal systems is under question, since they limit testamentary freedom, which is considered to be the consequence of the theory on absolute freedom of testation that is deeply rooted in some legal traditions. The aim of this research is to determine whether it is necessary to analyze freedom of testation and contractual freedom as opposite, or whether it is possible to observe them as complementary in some segments. For that purpose, the author manages to identify the points of approximation and distinction between these two freedoms, through their comparison. Furthermore, this problem is considered from the perspective of inheritance law, which is specifically discussed from the point of view of the legal effects of the inheritance agreement over testamentary disposition.

In countries with insufficiently developed capital market and a bankocentric financial system, the probability of default of banking clients can be estimated using an actuarial method. This method uses historical data from banking portfolios on the cases of debtors’ inability to meet their obligations towards the bank. In order to assess the level of credit risk and to identify its determinants, we calculated default rates by homogeneous groups of business entities as debtors, and by homogeneous groups of banks through the application of the actuarial method on empirical data from the banking sector of the Republic of Serbia. The research results show that there are differences in the level of credit risk, depending on the size of the business entity and its business sector, as well as that the entities with lower earning capacity, higher indebtedness and slower turnover of assets are more inclined to default. At the same time, it is shown that the default rate of bank varies depending on the ownership type, the bank’s size, profitability, capitalization and certain characteristics of its portfolio. The obtained results are the basis for analyzing the credit risk of certain categories of debtors and banks and for selecting variables that will be included in econometric models for assessing the level of credit risk in the banking sector in Serbia.

The aim of this work is to present and analyse the handball literature on the causes of injuries, types of injuries and their anatomic locations, as well as the prevention measurements. Based on the results of the analysed studies, it can be concluded that there is a significant number of injuries, of different body parts and of different severity in top-level handball players. Overuse injuries (to certain body parts, such as the more dominant shoulder, the ankle and the knee) are considered to be most prominent. In order to prevent the injuries to the mouth and teeth, the use of mouthguard is recommended. When it comes to the prevention and rehabilitation of shoulder injuries, the research results have shown positive effects that the training aiming at the increase of the inner rotation of the glenohumeral strength, the outer rotation strength and the scapular muscles strength has along with the exercises for improving the kinetic chain and the chest flexibility. The use of elastic bands and the medicine ball has proven efficient in increasing the shoulder area strength, and the whole swing and throw movement. The ankle and the knee are the most frequently injured joints among female handball players. The results of the application of the neuromuscular training, the proprioception and the balance exercises, combined with some specific players’ activities (running, jumping and planting) show that such training process is efficient in the prevention of injuries to ankle and knee joints.
THE POSITION OF THE CHILD IN LITIGATION PROCEEDINGS IN THE LEGAL MATTERS OF EXERCISE, DEPRIVATION AND RESTORATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS

Published: March 2021

Numerous entities in various procedural roles participate in the litigation proceedings for the exercising, denying and restoring of parental rights. The usual classification of litigation participants into subjects in a narrow, and subjects in a broader sense, may apply to such litigations. In the narrow sense, the subjects of the litigations are the litigation court and the litigants. In a broader sense, these are all persons who in any way participate in the litigation: interveners, counsel, witnesses, expert witnesses, interpreters, translators. Some of them participate in the proceedings to protect their own, and others to protect the rights and interests of others, and some are there to provide the necessary assistance in collecting the litigation material, present evidence, etc. Pursuant to the family laws, the capacity of a party in these proceedings, through the standardization of the right to the standing to commence an action, is assigned to the child, parents, custody authority and the public prosecutor. However, these are only potential, but not necessary participants in these proceedings. The proceedings may also be initiated and conducted without all the participants of the family-legal relation participating in them. As a rule, there is no participation of the child as a party, although, essentially, the child's right to live with parents and to have (adequate) parental care is the central theme of the proceedings. In all of these litigations, in fact, legal protection is afforded to the rights of the child arising from the parent-child relationship, namely from the rights and duties of the parent towards the child. This paper critically analyzes the national regulations governing the position of the child in litigation proceedings in the legal matters of exercising, denying and the restoring of parental rights, with a view to determine whether, and to what extent, the solutions contained in those regulations comply with the postulates of a fair trial, enable the exercise of a child’s right to participate in the proceedings that are to decide on the issues that affect him/her and provide effective protection of his/her procedural rights.

Labor productivity of the manufacturing industry is an important factor of economic growth and compatibility. The aim of the research is to point out the significance of conducting efficient structural and technological changes in the manufacturing industry of the Republic of Serbia and to examine their impact on the growth of labor productivity. Technological structure was examined according to the technological intensity and methodology of OECD. Labor productivity was analyzed by partial productivity measure, value added per employee from the aspect of impact of various factors on its growth, shift-share analysis. The results of the research show that labor productivity growth rates in the manufacturing industry are high and positive, that they are higher than gross value added, which is the result of change in the number of employees. Productivity growth is higher in areas that belong to high and medium-level technology and is based on the inter-sector effect. The results of this research are useful to the creators of industrial politics when initiating structural changes and relocating the factors that impact labor productivity towards more productive areas of the manufacturing industry.
Algoritmo interactivo para decisiones con varios objetivos, riesgo e incertidumbre
Authors: Acosta Flores José Jesús
Published: March 2021

El objeto de este artículo es presentar un algoritmo sencillo para el análisis de decisiones con objetivos múltiples, bajo riesgo e incertidumbre, que puede contemplar además de los aspectos técnicos otros relevantes: ambientales, políticos o sociales. Cuando se desconocen las funciones de probabilidad y se suponen uniformes se tiene incertidumbre y riesgo cuando son conocidas dichas funciones de probabilidad. En este artículo se consideraron las funciones de probabilidad, triangulares y normales, además de las uniformes. El algoritmo, basado en los conceptos y metodología de la Teoría de Decisiones guía al analista para que pueda aplicar el principio de “dividir y conquistar”. Inicialmente tendrá que concientizar al decisor que el análisis está basado en sus respuestas, por lo que deberá comportarse igual en situaciones reales que en las de conjetura. Después, se transforma el problema aleatorio en uno determinista. Luego, el analista efectúa análisis de dominancia para eliminar alternativas. Si sólo quedara una alternativa, ella sería la solución. Si hubiera más el decisor efectuará permutas compensatorias para eliminar una medida de efectividad. Después de ello el analista regresa al análisis de dominancia. Continúan alternándose ambos análisis, el de dominancia y el de permutas compensatorias, hasta que solamente quede una alternativa. Una de las limitaciones del presente algoritmo es la existencia de un solo decisor. El desarrollo formal del algoritmo es original, así como la determinación de los equivalentes bajo certeza en los casos triangulares y normales. Finalmente, se presentaron dos ejemplos hipotéticos. El primero con tres inversionistas donde se encuentran las mejores inversiones para cada uno de ellos; y el segundo, para determinar la mejor localización de un aeropuerto.

Published: March 2021

The study of poverty reduction is very relevant in the 21st century. The rapid development of technology has proven to improve various quality of life but has not been able to solve the problem of poverty in a total scale. On the other hand, the development of public administration science, especially regarding collaborative governance, provides hope for poverty reduction through the active role of various parties. Many experts explain that poverty is a complex problem. Poverty reduction efforts must be carried out in a holistic and participatory manner. Furthermore, there needs to be an active contribution from various parties, namely the government, the private sector and the community. This requires researchers to conduct further studies on how Collaborative Governance can be an alternative solution to solving the problem of poverty. This study aims to delineate the development of Collaborative Governance studies through the Systematic Mapping Study and associate it to the poverty alleviation to obtain the current research position. The study shows that research on Collaborative Governance for Poverty Reduction is included in Social Issues in Community concentration and it has the lowest percentage. The most widely used method in the research concentrated on Collaborative Governance is qualitative, and the publication trend shows a very significant development, especially in 2014-2018. Therefore, research on collaborative governance for poverty alleviation is still very limited and the opportunity to produce variety of renewals is very large.

“Europeanization” of Think Tanks in the EU Interest Group Politics
Authors: Pisarev Ivan Ivanovich
Published: March 2021

The article reveals the characteristics of think tanks as actors of the interest group politics in the European Union (EU). In this policy, they inspire public debate, conduct research, encourage new legislation and more effective public administration. A large number of European think tanks is engaged in interest group politics both at the national and supranational level of the EU governance, encouraging integration processes among the EU countries and Europeanization, which is the subject of analysis of this study. The strengthening of the role and importance of interest groups in EU policy is largely due to the increased power of the Unions institutions, since the introduction of new legislation and regulation common to all EU countries leads to the feedback from various groups that represent both public and private interests. Obviously, these groups, when interacting with the power institutions of the EU, strive for the most effective protection of their interests. For this purpose their representatives hold meetings with officials of the European Commission and the European Parliament, as well as other structures of the Union. This interaction, aiming at promoting their interests by means of lobbying and advocacy, has been regulated since 2011 by the Transparency Register, jointly created by the European Commission and the European Parliament. The purpose of this study is to analyze the quantitative performance of think tanks in the EU and to develop on its basis the Ranking of EU countries, according to the level of Europeanization of the think tanks representing them. From the research methods perspective, the study is based on the matching of statistical data from the Transparency Register and the Global Go To Think Tank Index, which serves the basis for this Ranking. The study of the ranking makes it possible to identify groups of countries with a high, medium and low level of Europeanization of think tanks in all EU countries as of January 31, 2019. The results revealed on the basis of the analysis demonstrate the heterogeneous nature of the Europeanization process of think tanks in different EU countries.
Fashion Vocabulary: Borrowing, Adapting and Rethinking
Authors: Nedopekina Ekaterina M.
Published: March 2021

Fashion is a rather significant mechanism that organizes the life of any society and regulates the social behavior of people. It subordinates not only the choice of clothing, interior, personal hygiene items, gastronomic tastes, musical preferences, but also the way of thinking, the formation of criteria for assessing the phenomena of reality. At the same time, fashion is not only a powerful social regulator, but also a significant cultural phenomenon, the study of which is of particular importance nowadays. In this context, the vocabulary of fashion is interesting, as, on the one hand, it enriches the Russian language due to the abundant borrowing of foreign words, on the other hand, it indicates how actively the Russian language adapts new names for fashion items, and demonstrates how Russian mentality and culture accept this vocabulary. In order to consider the Russian vocabulary in the sphere of fashion in all three aspects, it is important to trace the derivation of the lexical meaning of the denotations of the fashion semantic field in their connection with the historical period and the change in the native speakers way of thinking in different historical times of the country. To this end, it is necessary to turn to the etymology of the basic elements of the Russian wardrobe, identify their coherence with the gender of their owners and trace how this coherence has been changing over time, as well as analyze the ways of grammatical adaptation of borrowed vocabulary in the Russian language, and finally, note the functional specifics of the same lexemes in Russian and other donor languages.
