Experiences with domestic violence pertetrators in Serbia: From a practitioners's
Authors: Ljubičić Milana
Published: June 2023

This paper deals with research into organisational difficulty and ethical dilemmas, as well as the efficiency of group therapy of men who were sent to group therapy treatments due to intimate partner relationship violence. This type of intervention has recently been recognised in Serbia as an important factor in the protection against domestic violence. Nevertheless, its use has remained sporadic and in order to be able to understand reasons for this, we have found helpful an analysis of the social context, but also the views of experts and the general public regarding domestic violence in our country. The public and experts alike have a firm position in terms of treating domestic violence perpetrators: batterers are almost as a rule male. The research question as the focal point of further analysis was the following: Whether or in which way such a discourse affects the work of practitioners and personal development of the clients - participants in group therapy? To obtain the answer, we have conducted an in-depth interview with one of practitioners in the Belgrade Marriage and Family Counselling Centre, who has been in charge of this programme since it was first launched (2012). As it turns out, both the practitioners and the clients are faced with multiple challenges. The practitioners are faced with their efforts being ignored by experts (by fellow practitioners and prosecutors and judges alike), the absence of systemic support and institutional networking, as well as with professional burnout. The clients often see themselves as victims of the system; they are the subject of a socially imposed ideological reshaping and, therefore, not infrequently they demonstrate resistance to efforts aimed at achieving their personal change and so they leave the programme before it is actually completed. Bearing in mind such outcomes, we believe that it is necessary to work on a change of the prevalent discourse relative to violence and possible ways of preventing violence, on recognising the significance of group therapy of batterers as a potentially important alternative route in working with victims and perpetrators of domestic violence and, finally, on initiating an interdisciplinary discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of sociotherapy treatment.
Logic and the scientific method: Virus and tobacco mosaic disease: What we know about infectious agents
Authors: Lukić Aleksandar , Arsić-Arsenijević Valentina
Published: June 2023

In this paper, using the example of the discovery of viruses from the history of science in the experiments of D. J. Ivanovsky, the authors investigate how scientific research functions and how the scientific conception that could be determined as the ruling paradigm is gradually transformed. Respecting logical and scientific-methodological principles, Ivanovsky's discoveries, in the long run, led to the discovery of viruses as completely new agents and thus to the reconstruction of the paradigm of bacteria as the smallest living disease-causing agents. Thus, he contributed to what is defined as scientific growth in the philosophy of science. Through a comparative analysis, using the example of protective masks, we will show that today there is a tendency that the basic postulates of scientific work, which imply critical examination and the possibility of refutation, are no longer sufficiently respected.
Globalists: Hereditary plutocracy and capital right protection
Authors: Šutović Milojica
Published: June 2023

As an extension of colonialism, globalization is globalists' "controlled democracy" founded on the limited participation. It is the rule of concealed totalitarianism of political single-mindedness, for the sake of protecting the global right of capital, profit maximization, rationalization of the neoliberal ideology of domination, the rule of the smaller part of one percent of the richest in the order or real inequality, meaninglessness of the general right of vote by reducing "one vote to one dollar, one euro, one dinar". This includes the formation of hereditary plutocracy of the "wild", gangster capitalism, in which the majority of global/local population lives most of their lives in a private dictatorship unrestricted b anything, both of surveillance and therapeutic capitalism, and of meritocratic or hybrid state capitalism, apparent freedom and real exploitation, where globalists mediate about "colonizing Mars or the end of the world and the poor - about the end of the month".

The research aim of this paper is to provide a review of the existing research that makes a connection between artificial intelligence and international security for the purpose of confirming the hypothesis that development and implementation of artificial intelligence announce the upcoming revolution in military affairs, which will transform the manners of the states' entering strategic interactions and mutually realizing them.
Smart city development strategies: Data determinism and technological sovereignty
Authors: Dimitrijević Lazar
Published: June 2023

This paper analyzes the role of the citizen through the nexus between the notion of 'the right to the city' and the current challenges of data integrity. The introductory discussion explains the contingencies of data, regarding the citizen, and the postulations of technological sovereignty as an alternative to the corporate smart city design. The deployed method includes content analysis and literature reviews pertaining to the phenomenon of data alienation, data security, and the political dichotomies between the "hard" and "soft" approaches to the strategies of smart city development. The first part elucidates the position of data in the smart city construct, whilst the second part inquires about the social and political role of the citizen in smart cities.
"Smart" cities: The new paradigm of urban development
Authors: Kesić Dušan
Published: June 2023

The progress achieved in the field of ICT has caused a major change in the paradigm of urban development, and research directed towards the development of smart cities is characterized as a central interest of modern society. Smart cities are designed as a kind of panacea for the accumulated problems of urban development. Although this idea is rooted in the achievements of ICT, the contemporary understanding of the concept implies that the smart city goes beyond the mere application of technology. Moreover, the holistic perspective emphasizes the primacy of human and social capital as the supporting pillars of a smart city. Considering the above, the aim of this paper is to achieve a systematic insight into the evolution of the smart city concept, that is, to see the peculiarities of its conceptualization, key dimensions and indicators, as well as the relationship to similar concepts.
The 100th birth anniversary of the great man: Mihailo Marković (1923-2023): Marković and the role of the engaged intellectual
Authors: Govedarica Milanko
Published: June 2023

The starting assumption is the opinion that Marković's opus is quite relevant for the re-examination of the role of the socially engaged intellectual, particularly in regional and global circumstances today. The basic procedures in dealing with the topic are: (1) presentation of Marković's main accomplishments, (2) analysis of the meaning and the place of the dialogue in communicative modalities of the opinion and (3) confirming the thesis about the harmful dialogue deficit through an illustrative example of the so-called collective West. The most important results refer to the explanation of the dissident and dialogue role of the socially responsible intellectual, as well as the corroboration of the opinions about Marković's proper attitude in that respect.

Copper barrel brandy can be taken orally with dilution of bisleri water or soda water and without dilution. People clipped with orthodontic wires may take copper barrel brandy orally, with dilution of without dilution. How far the orthodontic wires will be affected by these items? To find an answer the present research work is undertaken. Corrosion resistance of orthodontic wires made of Ni-Ti alloy and Ni-Cr alloy in artificial saliva in the absence and presence of copper barrel, water and soda water has been evaluated by AC impedance spectra. It is generally observed that Ni-Ti alloy is more corrosion resistant than Ni-Cr alloy in artificial saliva in the presence of copper barrel, water and soda water. When orthodontic wire made of Ni-Ti is immersed in artificial saliva, the charge transfer resistance (Rt) value is 31945Ohmcm2 . When it is immersed in copper barrel + artificial saliva (AS) system, Rtvalue increase to 80000Ohmcm2 . When it is immersed in soda water + artificial saliva (AS) system, Rtvalue increase to 76450Ohmcm2 . When it is immersed in water + artificial saliva (AS) system, Rtvalue increase to 82620Ohmcm2 . On the other hand, when orthodontic wire made of Ni-Cr is immersed in artificial saliva, the charge transfer resistance (Rt) value is 80930Ohmcm2 . When it is immersed in copper barrel + artificial saliva (AS) system, Rtvalue decrease to 11104Ohmcm2 . When it is immersed in soda water + artificial saliva (AS) system, Rtvalue decrease to 10437Ohmcm2 . It implies that the people who have been clipped with orthodontic wire made of Ni-Ti alloy can take copper barrel in any form, namely, with dilution or without dilution. The people who have been clipped with orthodontic wire made of Ni-Cr alloy should avoid taking copper barrel in any form, namely, with dilution or without dilution.
Investigation of the corrosion inhibition properties of hexamine (HMTA) for mild steel in NaCl solution
Authors: Ebrahim Fathabadi , Ghorbani Mohammad
Published: June 2023

An effective corrosion inhibitor for steel is Hexamine (HMTA). There have been few studies on its corrosion-inhibiting characteristics, particularly in NaCl solution. The electrochemical characteristics of HMTA performance in NaCl 3.5 wt% solution were examined during this study. Additionally, the properties of the HMTA film on the steel surface was investigated. When tested in NaCl solution, electrochemical results revealed that HMTA is a very efficient corrosion inhibitor for mild steel, with an efficacy of 92% at a concentration of 0.08 M. HMTA exhibited mixed type activity in terms of inhibition, according to the findings. Due to the physical adsorption of HMTA compound, as shown by the XRD results, an organic layer was formed as a strategy for HMTA inhibition. Adsorption of chloride ions as a corrosive factor is reduced by the HMTA films, according to EDS and thermodynamic studies.

The corrosion resistance of mild steel in simulated concrete pore solution (SCPS) in the absence and presence of sodium potassium tartrate (SPT) has been investigated by polarization technique and AC impedance spectra. The present study leads to the following conclusions. Polarization study reveals that sodium potassium tartrate system functions as anodic type of inhibitor. AC impedance spectra reveal that a shielding film is formed on the metal surface. When mild steel is used as rebar, sodium potassium tartrate may be mixed with concrete. Thus the mild steel will be protected from corrosion. The protective film consists of ferrous tartrate complex formed on metal surface. In the presence of sodium potassium tartrate the linear polarisation resistance increases from 226 Ohmcm2 to 455 Ohmcm2 , corrosion current decreases from 1.901x10-4A/cm2 to1.096 x10-4A/cm2 , charge transfer resistance (Rt) increases from 49 Ohmcm2 to 77 Ohmcm2 , impedance increases from 1.807 to 2.084, phase angle increases from 33.92° to 35.31° and double layer capacitance (Cdl) value decreases from 1.040x10-7 F/cm2 to 0.662 x10-7 F/cm2 . Corrosion potential shifts from -973 mV/SCE to -867 mV/SCE .This confirms that the inhibitor system functions as anodic type of inhibitor controlling anodic reaction predominantly. This formulation may find application in concrete technology. This may be used in the construction of bridges and concrete structures
Vitosha Mountain (SW Bulgaria) during the Little Ice Age in the context of past climate changes in the Balkans
Authors: Tzvetkov Jordan
Published: June 2023

This study aims to present and analyse several descriptions of snow cover conditions on Vitosha Mountain over the last five centuries. It uses the written historical sources and diachronic method. They are discussed in the context of available climate and environmental data for Bulgaria and the adjacent areas of the Balkans during the Little Ice Age (LIA). It can be concluded from the presented descriptions of Vitosha during the LIA that probably in the 17th and early 18th centuries Vitosha had significantly longer snow retention with the presence of permanent or semi-permanent snow patches, a situation that is significantly different from the present environmental conditions. The analysis of the climatic conditions during the LIA in other regions of Bulgaria, as well as in neighboring countries in the Balkans, shows that during this period, especially in the southern parts of the Balkan Peninsula, there was a significant climate cooling. Future studies of the (high resolution) natural archives in Bulgaria are needed to provide more information about the nature of climatic and environmental changes during the LIA.

Environmental challenges of the Northern Indian plains and their implications
Authors: Bjelajac Dajana , Bubalo-Živković Milka , Lukić Tamara
Published: June 2023

The Northern Indian Plains are facing severe environmental challenges that threaten the health and well-being of millions of people in the region. Deforestation, soil degradation, water pollution and scarcity, and poor air quality are some of the major environmental issues that require urgent attention. Deforestation in the region has resulted in the loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and reduced water availability. Soil degradation is another major issue in the region, resulting from unsustainable agricultural practices, overuse of chemical fertilizers, and erosion caused by deforestation. It has also reduced soil fertility, resulting in lower crop yields and reduced agricultural productivity. Using chemical fertilizers and pesticides has also led to water pollution, affecting the health of people and animals who rely on these water sources. Water scarcity and pollution are major challenges in the region, with many people having limited access to clean and safe drinking water. The pollution of water sources due to industrial and agricultural activities has further compounded the problem, leading to waterborne diseases and various health issues. Finally, air pollution is a major environmental challenge in the Northern Indian Plains, with high levels of particulate matter and other pollutants affecting people's health in the region. Burning crops, vehicular emissions, and industrial activities contribute to poor air quality, leading to respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular disease, and other health issues. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the mentioned environmental challenges in the Northern India Plains by utilizing contemporary literature and evidence-based research to establish its findings.

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon his last prophet, Mohammed. It must be emphasized that the title of the manuscript and its attribution to its author are fixed, as they were mentioned in his introduction, the classifier said: “The poorest of the servants to the Most Generous, the Creator, Abd al-Jawad Ibn Sheikh Ali al-Abyari… says I called this investigationas: The lovers' picnic of the oddities for the hankered.” We have investigated this manuscript according to the sections mentioned by the classifier, and we called this research (The lovers' picnic of the oddities for the hankered- section about what was mentioned of the wisdom in four wo), in which it was limited to the texts of wisdom that came to four words in the various sources of hadith books, and Arabic literature books, and there are some texts that we did not investigate them in what we found from different sources.Whosoever reads the title of the main manuscript, it comes to his mind at first glance that the material of this manuscript is love and infatuation, but in fact it is the opposite. As we find from the Hadith, sayings, proverbs and poems that have such directive advice which can be considered as a doctrine for those who want to achieve success on both lives- the earth and hereafter. As for the handwritten copy approved in the investigation, it is a single and unique copy in which was written by the classifier, illustrated by its original preserved at Princeton University, Yehuda Collection, No.: (4145), in the volume: (127b - 146b).However, the photocopy that we obtained from Juma Al Majid Center, was preserved at number: (375048), lacked accuracy in photography, and some of its words were blurred, which made our work more difficult.

This study explores the Totemic manifestations in the Islamic Sufi societies. Those manifestations involve a set of belief ideas that is found independently in religions, or a type of social organization of a number of human groups. On the other hand, Sufism is a religious-social phenomenon known of being characterized by the nature of the place in which it is originated or reach. Thus, one can investigate the totemic manifestations in the Sufi societies whether at the religious or social structural level. The approach: the researcher adopted the inductive approach through reviewing the foreign and Arab books and studies about Sufism and Totemism that are related to them in terms of concepts, and practices on the religious and social levels. In addition, the study relies on the comparative approach for comparing Totemism with Sufism so as to identify similarities. Finally, the researcher adopted the analytical approach to analyse and clarify those concepts, practices and similarities of both which leads to identify the totemic features in the Islamic Sufis societies. This research has reached a set of conclusions; the most important of which are: there are totemic characteristics – in varying degrees- in the Islamic Sufis societies. On the religious level; Totemism manifests in the aspects related to the holiness of totem and everything related to it, in addition to the protection of all individuals that fall under its logo, which resemble in its appearance and content sheikh al Method or the Walli in some Sufi orders, and the common manifestations in ritualistic practices represented in musical dancing worship practices that leads to ecstasy and Karamat (blessings). On the social level, Totemism characteristics manifest in Sufi groups. They are represented in the hierarchical societal organizational structure of Sufism, that makes the sheikh or Alwali (the totem) serve as the core element and the societal symbol of the Sufi method.
