Authors: Nematzad Pouya , Pourghane Parand , Besharati Fereshteh , Gholami-Chaboki Bahare
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:

Aging has the fastest growth rate in age groups. With age, the prevalence of a variety of chronic diseases also increases. Among chronic diseases, hypertension is one of the most important diseases among older adults and self-care is one of the effective approaches to control it. The aim of the present study was to apply the health belief model (HBM) in promoting self-care in hypertensive older adults to help improve self-care behaviors in this age group.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN:

This was a quasi-experimental study. This study was conducted at comprehensive health centers in the east of Guilan province, Iran.

METHODS AND MATERIAL:

This intervention study was conducted on 106 elderly people with hypertension who were selected with a multi-stage random sampling method from those referred to east health centers of Gilan, Iran, in 2019. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire including demographic characteristics, HBM structure, hypertension knowledge, and hypertension self-care questionnaires. The intervention group received an educational program based on the HBM model. The questionnaire was completed by the elderly before and 2 months after the intervention. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Mann–Whitney, Chi-square, Wilcoxon, Fisher, and ANCOVA tests usingSPSS ver.16.

RESULTS:

There was a significant difference in knowledge and all HBM constructs before and after the intervention in the intervention group (P < 0.001). In the control group, knowledge (P-value = 0.023), self-efficacy (P-value = 0.001), perceived severity (P-value = 0.005), and cues to action (P-value = 0.008) were significantly different (P < 0.05) after the intervention.

CONCLUSION:

The present study showed that HBM-based education can be considered an effective educational framework for improving self-care of the hypertensive older adults.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:

Domestic violence has a significant effect on women's reproductive, physical, and mental health, and it is a significant threat to everyone's health, so that, it sometimes leads women to commit suicide. Although many of these women will refer to receive medical care due to domestic violence, few of them are identified by health care providers. The present study aimed to review the challenges of screening for domestic violence against women from the perspective of health professionals.

MATERIALS AND METHOD:

This study is a scoping review. The study was performed in five stages, which include (1) designing the research question, (2) searching and extracting research-related studies in national and international databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Magiran, Scientific Information Database (SID), IranDoc and Google Scholar search engine, from inception to March 2021, (3) selecting related studies, (4) scheduling and summarizing data and information, and (5) reporting the results.

RESULTS:

Out of 411 articles reviewed, 10 article met our inclusion criteria and were included. According to the results of the studies, barriers of screening for domestic violence can be classified into three areas, which include barriers related to employees (lack of knowledge and training, lack of time to conduct screening, lack of staff confidence, client judgment, and lack of security and comfort for asking related questions and forgetting employees), barriers related to the client and the prevailing culture in the society (tolerating and not reporting domestic violence, fear of spouse due to high power of men in society, fear of losing children and life, and racial and cultural issues) and barriers related to the organization (lack of necessary support from the organization, lack of funding from the organization, lack of protocol).

CONCLUSION:

Considering the high number of barriers of detecting women affected by the domestic violence, this study could be used in program designation, and implementation of effective interventions to remove barriers of domestic violence screening. Health care providers can use the results of this review to prepare educational packages according to their cultural background to improve understanding and women's cooperation in the domestic violence prevention and screening programs.

Published: July 2023

La migración de las personas mayores hacia zonas costeras es un fenómeno común en los países del Norte global, pero también puede ser significativo en regiones que están envejeciendo gradualmente, como América Latina. En este estudio, investigamos si también se produce migración de personas mayores hacia zonas costeras en Chile –país del Sur global que envejece rápidamente– a pesar de las condiciones socioeconómicas desfavorables para la mayoría de su población mayor. Tomando como caso de estudio el Litoral Central de Chile, se realiza un análisis cuantitativo de datos censales (1992, 2002 y 2017) para observar la evolución de la población de municipios costeros que no pertenecen a áreas metropolitanas y donde los procesos de urbanización han sido más intensos. Los resultados muestran que también habría migración de personas mayores hacia zonas costeras hacia el Litoral Central de Chile, aunque la condición socioeconómica de estas personas emerge como una característica importante que explica la participación en la migración hacia zonas costeras y la elección de los destinos de reubicación.

Comprehensive Review on Multiresonator-Based Chipless RFID Tag
Authors: Santhosh Nandana , P. Athulya , Pradeep Aiswarya , M Sumi
Published: July 2023

This study reviews the multi-resonator-based chipless radio frequency identification technology. Radiofrequency (RF) waves are used in a wireless data collecting technique called radio frequency identification or simply RFID to automatically identify things. RFID is a promising technology that enables the identification and tracking of objects. Because of its benefits, including cheaper cost, smaller size, and higher security, chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has become more and more attractive as a potential alternative to traditional RFID technology. Chipless RFID labels are minimal expense labels since they are not outfitted with ASIC. RFID transmits data between the RFID transponder, a device that carries data, and the interrogator using radio frequency (RF) waves. The system is completely passive and does not require any kind of outside power source to run. The major advantage of spectral signature-based chipless RFID is that it can encode data in both magnitude and phase. A transponder's essential parts are its transmitter, receiver, and multi-resonators. As a result, this article will evaluate different multi-resonator types, explore numerous chipless RFID applications, and discuss the basic operation of an RFID system. Additionally, this research studies the various coding systems because information coding is an essential part of this technology.

Dialects, namely vernacular speeches as a segment of intangible cultural assets represent a significant part of the identity of a group or individual, who recognize them as the very essence of their identity and as an indispensable part of its cultural heritage. Due to all kinds of lifestyle changes, especially in rural areas, dialects are in danger of a accelerated transformation and devastation, where they are still preserved, and therefore should be placed high on the list of priorities in the implementation of protection measures elements of intangible national cultural heritage (speech recording and adequate storage first, and then research of the collected material and its presentation). The dialect lexicon is an extremely important representative of the traditional material, spiritual and social culture of the Serbian people. It is important to point out the validity of ethnographic data that can be indirectly read from linguistic lexical maps. Dialect lexicon is the fundus of Serbian vernacular speeches and because of that, its notation and research should be included in the UNESCO concept of preservation, protection and sustainability of intangible cultural heritage.

Published: July 2023

Conventional Serbian language lectorates, based on contracts between competent state institutions, represent a type of legitimization of our language and culture in the world. The situation of lectorate in Slavic centres after the collapse of the former Yugoslavian country is very unfavourable, and no state institution has complete data on them. This paper deals with the analysis of media articles to create a clearer image of their status on the European continent. We used a descriptive method and a method of theoretical analysis with the technique of content analysis. The research of media texts provided a clear picture of the status and way of functioning of lectorate for the Serbian language on the European continent. Texts in media contain exact information about the opening, functioning and closing down of lectorates. Although the teaching of Serbian as a foreign language abroad is an activity of exceptional social, educational, political and economic importance for our country, the recorded data tell us about the changing interest of the state authorities in teaching the Serbian language. Namely, the content of newspaper texts indicates the existence of three stages in the development of lectorates: the first stage refers to the period of the seventies and eighties, when The Institute for International Cultural, Educational and Technical Cooperation opened a lot of lectorates all over the world; the second stage, which begins with the disintegration of the former state, points to numerous unresolved issues and problems that lead to the loss of interest in lectorates, which is why a large number of them were closed down or renamed, while the third stage is associated with the period after 2017 when, after pressure from experts public, undertake several activities to improve their status.

Published: July 2023

The paper departs from the finding that in some medieval documents Carasova inhabitants, who are currently Roman-Catholic, were often referred to as schismatic. As a result, i focus in this paper on the study of Carasova customs, aiming to identify characteristics that would confirm and reinforce the validity of the above-mentioned finding. The paper briefly presents and analyses certain rituals and ceremonies (or a part of these rituals and ceremonies) pertaining to the religious life, as well as habits associated with traditional occupations, which contain hints that can be used in a convincing argument about the belonging of Carasova inhabitants to the Orthodox denomination during the Middle Ages. At the same time, illustrating how the traces of the ancient Orthodoxy are reflected in the dialect spoken by Carasova inhabitants, the paper consolidates the thesis with the help of linguistic (lexical) evidence.
CHURCH CHORAL SINGING IN HISTORICAL BANAT
Authors: Călin Boba Adrian
Published: July 2023

If some very well-documented treatises have been written about Romanian choral church music from Banat, which will also support the scientific research of some of the works that will be born according to this plan, instead of Serbian church music, an integral part of church choral music from Banat, we have too little data on in the Romanian language, thus feeling, over time, the lack of specialized discussions (be it biographies or analyzes of the work of Serbian composers, musicologists or systematizers) that would become bigger and more acute, deals in depth with this important aspect of church choral music in Banat. Moreover, about how the two branches first evolved separately, then together, and again separately from the 19th century, how they influenced each other, how they passed on to their descendants an almost unchanged heritage, there are too few writings and specialty studies, which led to the decision to address this topic. Studying the work of the first known musicologists, composers and systematizers of Serbian choral church music in the 19th and 20th centuries. century (I. Marinković, Kornelije Stanković and especially St. Stojanović Mokranjac) we believe that the academic treatment of the personalities and activities of these musicians as well as the scientific presentation of their contribution in the reading, saving, preserving and transmitting all data related to Banat church music, up-to-date from the point of view of musicological research, is more than desirable. The beginnings of the choral activity of the Serbs in the Romanian Banat can be found in the fourth decade of the 19th century, first in Timisoara (1836), with the establishment of the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral Choir and the Serbian Singing Society, then in 1876.

RETHINKING TRADITION AND INDIVIDUALISM AS KEY TRAITS OF JACOV ORFELIN’S STYLE - A CASE STUDY ON ICONOSTASIS PAINTING IN THE HISTORICAL BANAT
Authors: Gh. Vlăsceanu Mihaela
Published: July 2023

Tradition redefined by innovations is the topic our study proposes to investigate as fragments of visual transformations in the episode of Jacov Orfelin iconostasis painting. In this field, the particular example we have studied was not a singular manifestation, although it can be subsumed under the artistic evolution of the period, but a paradigmatic case of East meeting West, having as result a new perspective of visual dogma, getting endowed with new connotations. Viennese, Russian and Ukrainian baroque tendencies are the most obvious directions through which Serbian painters propose the new stylistic orientation. Those who proliferated the innovative models asserted themselves predominantly in Serbia, where they created a religious painting deeply contaminated by the inputs of the modern age, and acknowledged by the historiography of the subject as “the founders of the Serbian Baroque”. Although written sources corroborate information on biographies of the Serbian artists in connection with their artistic discourse and evolution, the study rethinks some of the concepts involved in the configuration of eighteenth-century artistic genre in the historical Banat. Moreover, the topic addressed will highlight the key aspects of Serbian late baroque, rococo and neoclassical art assimilation and advent throughout comparative - analytical methods, focusing on iconography and formal changes. In order to do so, the artwork under scrutiny is positioned within the original socio political, and religious frameworks focusing on examples that uphold or deconstruct the role this painter played in fostering a visual change. Issues regarding the ornaments will be also of reference as the iconostasis is a complex formal and iconographical medium.

Published: July 2023

This article will focus on such an urgent topic as inventory accounting, since at present production stocks make up a significant part of the value of the enterprise's property, and the cost of material resources in some industries reaches 90% or more in the cost of production. Also, production stocks (raw materials, materials, fuel, etc.), being objects of labor, accompany the production process of the enterprise with means of labor and labor force, which are used once. Materials are fully used in the production process as part of current assets and fully lead their value to the value of the products produced. The continuity of the development, production and shipment (sale) processes in the company's field of activity depends not only on funds, but also on the need for funds. Accounting, control, rationing and planning of various processes for the use of current assets, in particular production assets, are very important. Material stocks, their composition, sources of formation are the most important stage of regulation and management of the production process and production costs. Basic and auxiliary materials are formed in the volume of permanent, non-decreasing stocks and costs of most industrial companies exceeding the volumes formed at their own expense. Production stocks are fully consumed in each production cycle and completely replace their value with the value of the products produced. For the correct organization of inventory accounting, their classification, evaluation, methods and choice of accounting unit are important.
