Ottoman ruling elite in the sanjak of semendire during the eighteenth century
Authors: Pavlovic Miroslav
Published: December 2020

The Transitional period in the Ottoman Empire (17th-18th century) brought
about changes in the organization of government that were felt deeply at the
imperial periphery. The process of decentralization in the Ottoman Balkans
was most prominent during the 18th century. Traditional roles of political
and social agents in towns became ever more unstable and the shifts of
ruling elites were ever more pronounced. The ruling, Muslim elite had
gradually joined together by forming political alliances in order to gain
influence and money. Political struggles became constant. Belonging to the
elite through acquiring the status of asker - either by enlisting into
janissaries or by getting a timar and the status of spahi - did not
guarantee a political influence or wealth. The new elite got their positions
thanks to the political connections with either local or central government.
The financial power was a factor that mostly determined a person?s status in
the 18th century, and it did not depend on the legitimacy of economic
undertakings. The capital was accumulated through trade, tax farming and tax
collecting. The close relations with the representatives of government
secured path towards an elite status. The rise of the new local governing
elite and the ways of its social and political promotion were not identical
processes even in the neighboring provinces. The role of m?tesellim, voyvoda
or kapudan, depended on the character of the Ottoman administration in the
province (sanjak), which is why case studies contribute to the overall
knowledge about the organization of Ottoman local authorities.
“Gayret” on the content of school textbooks and their influence upon Muslim youth: A contribution to the research on interreligious dialogue in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia
Authors: Kolaj-Ristanovic Irena
Published: December 2020

Cultural-educational society ?Gayret? which goal was ?national awakening,
education and cultural edification of Muslim population? was founded in 1903
in Sarajevo. The activity of the society extended the whole Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia) with the representative office in
Belgrade also. This work includes the intention of the Society to influence
on the content of school books for primary and high school 1932-1935 which
included elements of Christians religion implementation, so, in accordance
with the opinion of the Society members, ?led into confusion Muslim youth?.
In the same time, this work accented the good will of the Ministry of
Education of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to remove mentioned content from the
school books which tabular list we presented in the work. We used
interdisciplinary approach to the subject, so used archival resources,
Qur?an and relevant literature.
Islam ante portas: Application of Bauman’s theory of a foreigner to the analysis of social distance towards Muslim migrants in Serbia
Authors: Jovanovic-Ajzenhamer Natasa
Published: December 2020

Bauman?s theory of the attitude of the Western population towards migrants is
based on the analysis of several aspects: ontological, ethical, economic,
social, political and security. It is a complex theory which is build on his
earlier research on fluid life, globalization, and the (post)modernity. In
this paper, I will first present Bauman?s basic hypotheses about the
attitude towards foreigners who are comming ?to our door?, and then I will
apply these hypotheses to the analysis of the situation with the migrant
crisis in Serbia. Although Bauman bases his theory on the experiences of
Western European countries, I will try to show why his conclusions can be
extended to countries on the periphery of world capitalism, such as Serbia.
To test some of Bauman?s hypotheses, I will analyse public opinion polls in
Serbia. Although I did not conduct the research by operationalizing Bauman?s
theory and therefore I cannot speak of confirming or refuting his
assumptions, the analysis of secondary empirical data will serve as our
initial orientation and heuristic reconnaissance for some future research in
that direction.
Screening and prevention of anticoagulant resistance development in house mice: A review
Authors: Blazic Tanja , Jokic Goran , Djedovic Suzana
Published: December 2020

Unrestricted use of anticoagulants has resulted in rodents developing
resistance to them. This has caused a series of problems regarding reduction
in rodent populations, which has further implicated great economic losses
and a serious threat to the health of people and domestic animals. The
popular global trend currently is to control rodent populations by applying
the least possible amounts of chemicals, which on the other hand implies
that several coactive alternative measures need to be applied in an effort
to reduce rodent numbers to an acceptable economic level. On the other hand,
knowledge of the genetic structure of rodent populations has become an
important set of information desirable to have before setting off to apply
rodenticides in practice, so as to prevent ineffective use of rodenticides
and prevent further spreading of resistant rodent populations. The latest
trend of using combinations of low-dose anticoagulant baits requires further
research as their effects on susceptible populations are known but their
impact on resistant animals is still not clear.

У ХХ ст. відбулися суттєві зміни у парадигмі розуміння та творення мистецтва та архітектури. Сформувалася революційна думка про те, що будь що може стати твором мистецтва, бо це залежить не від якості самого об’єкту, а від підготовленості глядача його сприйняти. Якщо відвідувач виставки, оглядаючи експонати, переповнюється емоціями та глибокими роздумами - то мета галеристів та митців, що виставляються досягнута. Якщо ні – то як би якісно не були прописані полотна чи виліплені скульптури – акція є невдалою. Бурхливі історичні події початку ХХ ст., такі як перекрій мапи світу, війни, економічні кризи зробили суспільство надзвичайно емоційним, що насамперед позначилося на доробку людей творчих професій. Велика кількість різноманітних угруповань та окремих творців по усьому світу ніби поставила собі за мету заперечити усе, що було створено до них. Проводилися різноманітні експерименти, які підсумовувалися яскравими маніфестами. В архітектурі, паралельно з раціональним модернізмом, завжди залишалося місце для романтики ірраціональних течій. В порівнянні з минулими історичними періодами, прогресивні візіонери творили не приміщення, обмежені у меншій чи більшій степені, задекорованими стінами – вони творили простори, намагаючись надати їм нової якості. Пориваючи з традиціями, вони опрацювали велику кількість винаходів, які частково так і залишилися реалізованими лише на папері. Одним із таких видатних романтиків-експериментаторів був Ф. Кізлер. Від початку своєї творчої кар’єри він, мандруючи, ознайомився з найкращими досягненнями світової думки у галузі пошуку шляхів творення простору. Споглядаючи чужі досягнення та беручи безпосередню участь у їхньому творенні, Ф. Кізлер поступово створив власний авторський стиль — «кореалізм», який ґрунтувався на відображенні безмежного простору іншої реальності. Його винаходи до нашого часу залишаються не просто унікальними проектами, а є промовистим свідченням нової філософії ідеального універсуму, що знайшла реалізацію у творах наступних поколінь митців.

Published: December 2020

The article covers the Architectural heritage of Andrea Palladio – as education material for Jakub Kubicki reviews artistic heritage of Andrea Palladio and analyzes its influence on the works of Jakub Kubicki. It is known that comprehensive and manysided heritage of Andrea Palladio was education material for many architects, and in the XVII century it became the basis for similarly-named architectural trend – Palladianism. Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) – is a famous architect of the Renaissance era, the author of many architectural tractates that describe the principles and stages of private estates and residences formation in detail. His works were based on symmetry, perspective and objects of value of classical place of worship of Ancient Greece and Rome. In general, Andrea Palladio, having studied traditions of folk architecture as well as likes of nobility, created model types of estates and at the same time showed almost unlimited amount of possible variations, became a founder of “architectural fashion” of Classicism era. That promoted the spread and establishment of the Palladian school where the architecture of Antique period (of Ancient Rome and, later, of Ancient Greece) was interpreted to the demands of the era, and Palladian types of country estates and city palace were used during two more centuries. Creative method or style of every architect of a certain period shapes a style of the era. In the works of architects there are reflected important issues and problems of theory and practice of architectural life of the time. J. Kubicki is also among the architects whose works attract attention with a high level of excellence. He became a mediator between the pure classicism and Empire style of the XVIII century. Although the architect was the representative of mature Classicism with the influence of Palladian school, his works have their own fingerprint and are characterized by such typical elements in the projects as sharp axial plan and symmetry of facades of palaces; simple rectangular forms in plan of a palace that were be supplemented by prominent risalits; main entrance was accentuated by portico with colonnade; the use of classical order elements that were decorated with sculptures and military emblems in façade decoration. Interior arrangement in the palaces was symmetrical, two-path, with gorgeous living-room and entrance hall that contained stairs. Interiors were profusely decorated with moulding and highlighted with colors (hence the name blue living room, gold or red room).

Cities are constantly changing – new and existing facilities are created and reconstructed, existing ones are modernized, and new territories are developed, and, accordingly, public spaces are formed and develop in a certain way. To a large extent, this process is random and does not take place systematically, but this rather happens as a response to the urgent economic, environmental, social or other needs of city residents. Development management in the urban planning system is designed to solve the controversial problem of maintaining integrity and at the same time striving for its transformation. The use of the tools of mathematical modeling, considered in the article, allows one to solve the problems of spatial development of a city and its public spaces in a purposeful way, and to coordinate such a solution with the interests of stakeholders. When forming public spaces of a city one faces the task of streamlining competing development projects (alternative projects) for a particular area of ​​a city, taking into account the importance of their impact on the establishment of a distinctive image of the city and ensuring quality of life of its residents. To solve this problem, it is advisable to use methods of expert evaluation of design decisions, in particular, methods of ranking, valuating, and folding vector-valued criterion into a scalar criterion (integrated indicator of project weight). Ranking means assignment of a certain rank (a number from the natural series) to every project. The most important project is given the highest rank, which corresponds to number "one". The sum of the ranks given by all experts to a particular project can be considered as a generalized value of its weight. The article considers approaches to the assessment of urban public spaces on the basis of various criteria, namely urban, social, economic, environmental ones. The developed models of public space planning are designed for making a reasonable choice from a set of alternative projects subject to implementation, either according to the dominant criterion or according to many criteria in the conditions of resource constraints.

Ratkaisukeskeisen ilmastokasvatuksen tavoitteena on oppia tietoja ja taitoja, joiden avulla opitaan vähentämään ilmastopäästöjä ja sopeutumaan ilmastonmuutokseen parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla. Ilmastonmuutoksen hillintä ja siihen sopeutuminen vaatii onnistuessaan myös tunteiden huomioon ottamista. Ilmastokasvatuksessa toivon ylläpitäminen on mahdollista merkityksiä luovien toimintastrategioiden avulla. Oleellista on, että oppija pohtii tekojensa merkityksellisyyttä, minkä avulla voidaan välttää toiveajattelua. Alakoulussa ilmastokasvatus perustuu tutkivaan oppimiseen ja dialogiseen, oppijan arkikäsityksen huomioon ottavaan vuorovaikutukseen. Vuorovaikutuksellinen opetus sitouttaa oppijat opetukseen. Artikkelissa pohditaan ilmastokasvatuksen toteutumista alakoulun oppilaiden näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin avoimella kyselylomakkeella kahdeksasta alakoulun luokasta, viidestä eri koulusta. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu 152 oppilaan vastauksista. Vastaukset analysoitiin laadullisella sisällönanalyysillä ja teemoitettiin fenomenografisesti eri käsitekategorioihin. Käsitekategoriat muodostuivat neljästä teemasta: 1) Uuden oppimisesta, 2) kiinnostuksen lisääntymisestä, 3) ilmaston-muutokseen liittyvästä toivosta ja 4) ilmastonmuutokseen liittyvästä surusta.

 

Primary school pupils' experiences on the implementation of intentional climate change education: observations on learning and emotions

Abstract

The goal of intentional climate change education is to learn the knowledge and skills to reduce climate emissions and adapt to climate change in the best possible way. Mitigating and adapting to climate change also requires taking emotions into account. In climate change education hope is possible to maintain through meaningful coping strategies. It is essential that the learner reflects on the significance of his or her actions and thus avoids unnecessary wishful thinking. In primary school, climate education is based on inquiry-based learning and dialogical interaction that considers the learner's everyday thinking. Interactive learning process helps to engage learners.

This article considers the implementation of climate education from the perspective of primary school pupils. The research material was collected with an open questionnaire from eight primary school classes from five different schools. The research material consists of 152 pupils’ answers. The responses were analysed by qualitative content analysis and were phenomenographically themed into different concept categories. The concept categories consisted of four themes: 1) learning from the new, 2) increasing interest, 3) hope related to climate change, and 4) grief related to climate change.

Luonnontiedekasvatuksen muuttuvat tavoitteet: luonnontieteellisestä lukutaidosta kestävyyskasvatukseen, toimijuuteen ja tulevaisuusajatteluun
Authors: Laherto Antti
Published: December 2020

Globaalit ympäristö- ja kestävyyskriisit muuttavat luonnontiedekasvatuksen tavoitteita, didaktiikkaa ja tutkimusta. Luonnontieteellisen lukutaidon (engl. scientific literacy) merkitys kytketään yhä useammin transformatiiviseen kestävyyskasvatukseen. Siinä ei riitä, että koulussa opitaan luonnontieteen sisältötietoa tai sen käyttämistä arjessa, vaan luonnontiedekasvatuksen pitää lisäksi tukea vastuullista toimijuutta ja arvopohjaista muutosta sekä yksilöissä että yhteiskunnassa. Artikkelissa argumentoidaan, että tulevaisuudentutkimuksen ajattelutapoja hyödyntämällä on mahdollista tukea vaihtoehtojen ja vaikutusmahdollisuuksien näkemistä ja niihin tarttumista. Luonnontieteiden opetus tarjoaa hyvän alustan skenaarioajattelulle, tulevaisuuden epävarmuuden kohtaamiselle ja uudistavan toimijuusorientaation rakentamiselle. Ehdotuksia konkretisoidaan esittelemällä I SEE -projektissa kehitettyä tulevaisuusorientoitunutta luonnontiedeopetusta. Lopuksi pohditaan ehdotusten ajankohtaista merkitystä kestävyysongelmien ja COVID19-pandemiankin aikoina.

 

Changing Goals of Science Education: From Scientific Literacy to Education for Sustainable Development, Agency, and Futures thinking

Abstract

Global sustainability crises are changing the aims, pedagogies and research in science education. The field is increasingly oriented towards transformative education for sustainable development. School science should now support responsible agency and value-based transformation. This article argues that the thinking in the field of Futures Studies can help students to see alternative futures and take action. Science education provides excellent opportunities for scenario building activities, addressing the uncertainty, and shaping transformative agentic orientations. Future-oriented activities developed in the I SEE project are presented as an example. The suggestions are discussed with relation to the topical sustainability crises and the COVID19 pandemic.

CAF and CAMM analyses on the first 10 years of national Kanta services in Finland
Authors: Jormanainen Vesa , Reponen Jarmo
Published: December 2020

We report the large-scale deployment, implementation and adoption of the nationwide centralized integrated and shared Kanta health information services by using the Clinical Adoption Framework (CAF). The meso and macro level dimensions of the CAF were incorporated early into our e-health evaluation framework to assess Health Information System (HIS) implementation at the national level. We found strong support for the CAF macro level model concepts in Finland. Typically, development programs were followed by government policy commitments, appropriate legislation and state budget funding before the CAF meso level implementation activities. Our quantitative data point to the fact that implementing large-scale health information technology (HIT) systems in practice is a rather long process. For HIT systems success in particular citizens’ and professionals’ acceptance are essential. When implementation of the national health information systems was evaluated against Clinical Adoption Meta-Model (CAMM), the results show that Finland has already passed many milestones in CAMM archetypes. According to our study results, Finland seems to be a good laboratory entity to study practical execution of HIT systems, CAF and CAMM theoretical constructs can be used for national level HIS implementation evaluation.

Published: December 2020

The aim of the current research is to examine how and to what extent existing e-government services in planning, managing, and delivering EU funds in Greece, can evolve into new open-government models. It also aims to examine how to effectively engage citizens and potential beneficiaries to participate in processes, such as policymaking or projects’ and funds’ allocation within the framework of the Partnership Agreement 2014/2020. The study comprises of a combination of both secondary and primary data being selected from public bodies (managing authorities) and potential beneficiaries (public entities and citizens) searching their awareness, perceptions, concerns and attitudes on existing and possible future open government models. Findings show that respondents recognize the benefits of e-government services, yet they encounter difficulties using them, mostly due to the platforms’ technocratic language. They are uncertain however on the impact open data have had on the EU funds management and demonstrate reservations on trust and security issues, including interaction and integration of their proposals in policy- and decision-making processes. The study concludes with proposals on future academic research and policy applications in order to further advance the openness of governance in the EU funds.

The purpose of this study is to determine the internal determinants (bank-specific) and external determinants (macro-economic) of profitability. In this regard, the study adopted a quantitative research design by using the panel data of 17 commercial banks of Pakistan over the period of 2014-2018. Internal factors analyzed in this study were Liquidity, Size, and Capital Adequacy. While external factors were Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Inflation. The data was analyzed by using simple OLS regression and Tobin’s Q ratio. The analysis showed that GDP has a significant impact on profitability. However, inflation has no impact on profitability. Tobin’s Q ratio of most of the banks is increasing which depicted their equilibrium position. Based on the findings, the study recommended some policies that will encourage banks to reduce credit risk and minimize their liquidity holdings. Moreover, the Government should take the proper initiatives to enhance the confidence of investors towards the stock market.

Towards a Stylometric Authorship Recognition Model for the Social Media Texts in Arabic
Authors: Nasser Alsager Haroon
Published: December 2020

Numerous studies have been concerned with developing new authorship recognition systems to address the increasing rates of cybercrimes associated with the anonymous nature of social media platforms, which still offer the opportunity for the users not to reveal their true identities. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to identify the real authors of social media’s offensive and inappropriate content. These contents are usually very short; therefore, it is challenging for stylometric authorship systems to assign controversial texts to their real authors based on the salient and distinctive linguistic features and patterns within these contents. This research introduces a new stylometric authorship system that considers both the shortness of data and the peculiar linguistic properties of Arabic. A corpus of 20, 357 tweets from 134 Twitter users. A document clustering based on Document Index Graph (DIG) model was used to classify input patterns in the tweets that shared common linguistic features. A comparative analysis using Vector Space Clustering (VSC) model based on the Bag of Words (BOW) model, conventionally used in authorship recognition applications, was used. Results indicate that the proposed system is more accurate than other standard authorship systems mainly based on vector space clustering methods. It was also clear that the model had the advantage of providing complete information about the documents and the degree of overlap between every pair of documents, which was useful in determining the similarity between documents.

Published: December 2020

The aim of the research is to study thematic and lexical-semantic features of Russian-European borrowings in the Tatar-Russian dictionaries of the 19-th century. The object of the study is the lexicographic sources of the 19-th century, namely the Tatar-Russian dictionaries by I. Giganov (1801), A. Troyansky (1835), N. Ostroumov (1892), K. Nasyri (1878), M. Yunusov (1900). The study used linguistic descriptive, comparative-historical, comparative methods and partially the techniques of etymological analysis.  The thematic range is quite diverse and covers various socio-political, socio-cultural and everyday spheres: household items: munchala, ponar; names of buildings: matcha, mich; agricultural items: bitch, kamyt; educational supplies: card, vacation; military vocabulary: drushka, pristul; the vocabulary related to the financial sector: cash desk, bank; legal terms: shtrau, sunt.The invariability, stability and preservation of most lexical units in the modern language suggests that the most frequent words were recorded in these lexicographic monuments of the period under study, i.e. the main lexical fund of the Tatar language with Russian-European borrowings.
Inter-language paroemiological conformity in the Tatar and Turkish languages

Published: December 2020

This article describes the Turkish correspondences of the Tatar paroemias in terms of the complete and partial coincidence of the semantics and lexical-grammatical structure of proverbs. The analysis of the Tatar and Turkish paroemiological correspondences makes it possible to expose general and individual features of the languages, the similarity and diversity of culture, psychology, history, and everyday life of their native speakers, thereby contributing to mutual understanding between them. The authors reach a conclusion that the presence in different languages of paroemiological units with a common meaning, with a similar structure and similar components is a rare phenomenon, determined by many factors. It should be noted that the fact of the presence of units with full correspondence in the Tatar and Turkish languages does not mean that they are deprived of their national and cultural originality, but contributes to a more complete understanding of the linguistic sign in its entirety: both as a linguistic and as a carrier of extralinguistic information.

Published: December 2020

This article is devoted to the linguoculturological competence development among schoolchildren in the process of teaching the Russian language. The object of scientific consideration was the lexeme "rainbow", which refers to the most ancient layer of words and has a deep national and cultural specificity. In accordance with the set tasks of our work, we used descriptive-analytical, stylistic, component, distributive methods of data analysis, the method of the semantic field. An integrated approach to the study of the lexeme "rainbow" implies a multifaceted analysis, including the analysis of dictionary definitions, collection of etymological information, consideration of word-formation relations, study of the paremiological status of a word, its discursive features, identification of traditional and individual author's meanings and, thus, reflection in the form of creative work of students, reflecting the information received about this lexeme... An upbringing approach in Russian language lessons helps students discover aesthetic ways of understanding the world, without which it is impossible to describe the Russian language picture of the world.
Folklore as sublimation of «soul dialectic» in understanding the stranger («Hadji Murad» by L.N. Tolstoy)
Authors: Airatovna Khaibullina Angelina , Bekmetov Rinat Ferganovich , Rami Ilsever , Yunusov Ildar Shaikhenurovich
Published: December 2020

In fact, in the works of L.N. Tolstoy has the best examples of the application of the "dialectic of the soul" to a person of a certain social origin ("Landowner's Morning"), a person of another sex (parting episode in "Anna Karenina"), even a horse ("Screen meter"). However, the understanding of a person of another religion, of another nationality ended up being perhaps the most difficult task. And even in Hadji Murad, the "dialectic of the soul" in its classical expression, when understanding a person, has no other ethnic-confessional culture. Using specific textual examples, we show the possibilities of the Caucasus folk system to describe the protagonist's inner world, understanding the basic meanings of his acts of life. Thus, "Hadji Murad" made a major breakthrough in the psychological portrait of a person of a different national, cultural and religious affiliation, which can hardly be compared to any work of other writers of the nineteenth century.
