Authors: Lakušić Milovan , Lolić Sofija , Račić Julijana
Published: September 2023

In this paper, money laundering is primarily highlighted as a crime, the concept and essence of this crime. Due to the prevalence of this crime, at the national and international level, the chapter is dedicated to the analysis and assessment of the risk of money laundering, as something that is constantly working on government agencies and international organizations. The crime of money laundering is associated with a large number of crimes against the economy as well as certain corrupt crimes, and it is necessary to determine the degree of danger of other crimes that are committed in order to commit the crime of money laundering. As a crime whose means of execution are constantly adjusted, this crime is most often committed by organized criminal groups, and prevention is extremely important when it comes to this crime.

Strategic observation of internal audit work as part of management support in modern business ways in Republic of Serbia
Authors: Veselinović Ana
Published: September 2023

Strategic observation of internal audit in the real business conditions of heterogeneous legal entities in transition economies like the Republic of Serbia enables top management to improve, first of all, the management position in the company. In addition to the above, this approach to internal audit enables top management to make safe business decisions, contributes to the improvement of business decision-making and contributes to making business de-cisions that are economical, efficient and expedient. In general, strategic business decision-ma-king should be viewed as part of the introduction of internal control factors, where internal audit is certainly of great importance. The monitoring of the internal audit should be such that its work can be carried out smoothly in accordance with organizational independence. Such an approach implies that internal audit is organized as an independent function in the companies that have implemented it, as well as that it is organized as an independent function and is not part of any business process, i.e. organizational part of the company, and in its work is directly responsible to the manager who is in charge of internal audit operations. Such an approach is basically a modern approach that has elements of a safe approach, a strategic base that is particularly important for making valid audit findings and recommendations, all of which are made in the sense of increasing the security of making a valid business education of top management. The new or strategic principle of the organization of internal audit represents a unique way of doing business within the overall socio-economic changes that may occur primarily in transitional economies such as Republic of Serbia.
Economic development of the Western Balkans: Opportunities and limitations for Green transition
Authors: Filipović Sanja , Ignjatović Jelena
Published: September 2023

The Western Balkans countries have the aim to become part of the European Union. According to that aim, they have implemented economic and systemic reforms in the last three decades. As countries in the region are signatories to the Energy Community Treaty, they have committed themselves to harmonize legislation, define and implement national plans aimed at reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy sources. Having in mind their commitment, the aim of this paper is to determine the progress in the process of economic development, i.e. to define the chances and limitations to implement the process of energy transition. The results of the research show that despite the started reform processes and the progress in the Human Development Index, the COVID-19 crisis slowed down the development of the region and led not only to recession and falling living standards, but also to rising unemployment. In addition, a great challenge for the region is the reduction of energy and carbon intensity because the structure of the power industry is dominated by coal-fired power plants that are outdated and inefficient. The region lacks investment and consistency in implementing ongoing reforms. The Green Agenda for the Western Balkans represents a chance for the region, because through the Instruments of Cross-Border Cooperation, it encourages investments in projects that not only enable energy transition, but also the development of other sectors of industry and agriculture.

Authors: Rakonjac Milica
Published: September 2023

Recidivism of juvenile offenders in the domestic professional literature is an insufficiently researched socially unacceptable phenomenon, in relation to the crime of adults. Although juvenile delinquency is widespread in countries around the world and even in our country, statistics show that there is a large disproportion in the prevalence of recidivism of juvenile offenders in total crime. Recidivism is a phenomenon that can be studied from the aspect of several areas such as criminal law, criminology, penology, however, for the purposes of this paper, the focus is on criminal law science. The aim of this paper is to point out the very concept and development of recidivism in minors from the aspect of legal science. However, Through this paper, we will try to present in more detail the types of crimes and areas of crime, where juveniles most oft en appear as returnees in execution.

The subject of this empirical research is to see to what extent violence against children with disabilities is present in our society, in which families abuse and neglect occur, specifically in the city of Belgrade. The aim of the research was to determine whether and to what extent there are certain (and which) forms of abuse and / or neglect of children and youth with disabilities and what are the dominant factors for the development and maintenance of this situation, while the task was to to determine whether the degree of abuse and / or neglect of children and youth with disabilities in the city of Belgrade depends on certain socio-demographic factors. The sample consisted of 80 respondents, students of primary and secondary school "Novi Beograd"in Belgrade. The target group was students aged 10 to 21 who were found to have a factor which contributes to the vulnerability and marginalization of this group of children and young people in relation to children and young people of normal development. The analysis of the results showed that, out of the total number of respondents, 25% of them estimated that their living conditions were poor, while 16.2% of them answered that (sometimes) they did not have enough food. 10% of them estimated that there were no satisfactory hygienic conditions. By analyzing the questions on a certain group of questions, significant data were obtained that support the research questions that children with disabilities, who come from socially deprived families with many members and live in suburbs, are more exposed to the possibility of suffering. abuse and / or neglect.
Social enterprises and sustainable development
Authors: Anđelić Slavica , Milutinović Olivera
Published: September 2023

Sustainable development can be defined as a development that satisfies needs of the present without threatening capabilities of future generations to satisfy their needs. Such development proposes reduction of poverty and improvement of the quality of life. In this respect, sustainable development proposes economical, ecological, political and cultural sustainability. Social business is irreplaceable from the sustainable development concept. , "Sustainable'' in this case refers to something that can last without imposing big costs and negative externalities. It is necessary to have a stable source of physical, financial, human, material and non-material resources, in order to sustainably develop the economy. Social companies are nonprofit organizations. However, social companies can realize profit which is not the primary aim of business and cannot be shared, but used for the development and improvement of business activities.
Neuromarketing as a tool of marketing research and implementation of consumer relationship strategy
Authors: Mladenović Milica , Milićević Srđan
Published: September 2023

Neuromarketing is a discipline that connects the study of consumer behavior with neuroscience by examining the impact of marketing on consumers, by observing and interpreting their emotional reactions to various marketing stimuli. By using methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), eye tracking (ET), galvanic skin response (GSR) and facial coding (FC), neuromarketing can help companies understand how consumers make decisions and what they really feel, think and want on an UN-conscious level, which later becomes a more reliable indicator of their behavior when buying products and services. Apart from being a marketing research tool, neuromarketing can also be seen as a strategy for improving companies' communication and relationships with consumers. The purpose of this paper is to understand the importance of neuromarketing for understanding the subconscious processes in the consumer's brain, and for noticing the impact of these processes on consumer behavior. This will ultimately contribute to better strategic positioning of companies and their products on the market.
Cultural genocide: Definition, characteristics, hazards
Authors: Lekić Kosta
Published: September 2023

The term genocide immediately reminds one of mass murders and concentration camps, the horrendous war crimes, grounds for the strictest legal sanctions of state and international law. However, genocide isn't just that - this term implies a much broader range of crimes, historical and temporary likewise. One of the less known terms linked to genocide is cultural genocide. Although seemingly more benign that Hitler's regime, cultural genocide is an immense danger to global civilisation. With this work we shall draw attention to the serious nature of the phenomenon of cultural genocide, the consequences it can have on the society, the diversity of the situations in which it can develop, as well as some of the factors which make it an extremely strong risk to the global society.
Geopolitical factors as determinants of strategic determinations of small countries
Authors: Lović Vladimir , Bulatović Saša
Published: September 2023

Recognition of inflential geopolitical factors as conditions, but also as direct and indirect means applicable within that competition is one of the essential factors for adapting to modern circumstances and survival, especially of small states. Namely, it is natural and logical that the size and strength of the state have a key role in determining its potential for the protection of vital values and the realization of national interests. "Small states" are limited to a reactive approach in formulating a strategy, ie their strategy is a response to changes in the environment that have already occurred (or are certain). In this regard, faced with numerous challenges on the one hand and limited power on the other, small states are almost constantly in a security dilemma consisting of two elements: influence and autonomy. In the research we will use methods of analysis, synthesis, hypothetical-deductive method, analysis of document content and comparative method.
Conclusion of contract and legal certainty: Application of international standards in Serbian contract law
Authors: Perović-Vujačić Jelena
Published: September 2023

The paper addresses the rules governing the conclusion of contract from the aspect of the prevailing international standards in this area and their comparison with the appropriate solutions of the Serbian Law of Obligations. The international standards in the field of conclusion of contracts have been analysed primarily in the light of the relevant rules of the CISG, as one of the most widely accepted international conventions in the field of contract law, while also giving due consideration to the solutions of other important international documents and projects of uniform contract law, such as UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, Principles of European Contract Law and the Draft Common Frame of Reference for European Private Law. Among the plethora of issues relevant to the conclusion of the contract, the paper places the focus on those which seem most important from the perspective of their comparative analysis with the solutions of the Serbian Law of Obligations: negotiations, offer (contents of the offer, to whom the offer is addressed, revocability of the offer), acceptance of the offer (contents of the statement indicating acceptance of the offer) and the time of conclusion of the contract. Each of these issues has been separately analysed and evaluated in an endeavour to identify those solutions that contribute to achieving a higher degree of legal certainty in the relations arising from the contract conclusion, without standing in the way of party autonomy in this area.

In the past decades, or even during the last hundred years, many books and articles were published on the Crusade in 1396 and the Battle of Nicopolis. It is no wonder that the Crusade of 1396 still intrigues many people, being one of the emblematic events of the Christian undertakings in the Middle Ages. The topic is huge, so the study presents a slice of the Crusade. The aim of the study is to provide new data and information about the Hungarian King's journey home after the Battle of Nicopolis, including the Danube section, which has not been included in the literature so far.

Authors: Radoeva Snežana
Published: September 2023

The paper focuses on the visit of the King of Serbia to Bulgaria on October 1904, as a part of diplomatic relations between the two Balkan states in a very complicated international situation due to the Russo-Japanese War that began that year. In 1904, Serbia and Bulgaria had a reason to feel threatened by both the dynamically changing situation in Europe and the world and their national problems. This year is very important for the Serbian-Bulgarian relations and has its results mainly in the bilateral intensification of the dialogue in diplomatic, economic, cultural and social spheres.
The Yugoslav people's army in Banja Luka (1945-1992)
Authors: Ožegović Nikola
Published: September 2023

In the military-territorial organization of Yugoslavia after the Second World War, Banja Luka was a part of the 6th Army, whose headquarters were in Sarajevo. In the beginning of 1948, from the former 6th Army, the 7th Military District was formed. The military area of Banja Luka was supposed to be the 5th Corps during the war. In 1983, 58 Yugoslav People's Army war units and 21 Territorial Defense war units were manned by conscripts and material and technical means from the territory of the Banja Luka municipality. As of 1990, the data on 50,624 conscripts in the municipality of Banja Luka were kept. A total of 4,568 conscripts or 2.28% of the total population of the municipality were engaged in all units of the Territorial Defense. For the needs of building the military infrastructure, the Roman Catholic monastery "Nazareth" was nationalized, and in several waves, thousands of Serbian peasants were evicted from the hilly and mountainous area of Manjaca. With the implementation of repressive measures, a wide area whose population belonged to the royalist movement during the Second World War was evicted, and the Yugoslav People's Army military training ground was built on it. Due to a combination of historical circumstances, Banja Luka has become an important center of military education. After the Resolution of the Inform Bureau, in September 1948, the Tank School Center (TSC) was moved from Bela Crkva in Banat, due to the proximity of the Romanian border, to Banja Luka. Over time, this institution developed into the Armored and Mechanized Units School Center "Petar Drapšin". Near Banja Luka, a significant demonstration exercise was performed as a part of the visit of the high US military delegation to Yugoslavia, which began in October 1951. During 1952, representatives of the US military mission visited two tank brigades and the Tank Officer School in Banja Luka. The Army played an important role in modernizing the undeveloped areas of the country, including the wider Banja Luka region, the Bosnian Krajina. Bosnia and Herzegovina benefited significantly from the establishment of the military industry in this republic, which was given strategic importance, due to the expected invasion from the East after 1948. A significant role in the military industry was played by the Aviation Institute 'Cosmos', which has been operating in Banja Luka since 1958. Most of the infrastructure and combat assets of the Fifth Corps of the YPA from Banja Luka were inherited by the First Krajina Corps of the Army of the Republic of Srpska, as the largest corps of the ARS, that played a key role in the defense of the Republic of Srpska during the civil war in the former SR Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The policy of neutrality and investment in the defence system
Authors: Radojević Slobodan , Knežević Milena , Bojanić Dragan
Published: September 2023

At a time when traditionally neutral countries in international relations, such as Finland and Sweden, decide to abandon this concept, it is necessary to reconsider the policy of neutrality of European countries, as well as costs and investment in the defence system. Analysing the case of the neutrality of Switzerland, Austria and the Republic of Serbia, the authors start from the policy of this concept and monitor the costs and investment in their defence system. Switzerland is the first country whose permanent neutrality is internationally recognized and is considered a model of the international and legal status of neutrality. Austrian neutrality is much younger and is the result of specific international relations. Among other things, Switzerland bases its policy of neutrality on the concept of armed neutrality and great investment in materiel, and Austria follows a similar pattern in the policy of neutrality. Although neutrality of each state is conditioned by various factors and marked by specificities, which should be taken into account when generalising, the authors believe that, despite changes in the structure of international politics and the expansion of the meaning and scope of security, great investment in the defense and security system is a guarantee of indisputability and sustainability of neutral states. Therefore, using comparative analysis of neutrality policies and comparing investment in defence systems, they conclude that the key to the concept of neutrality and armed deterrence is investment in materiel, which is of great importance for developing and strengthening the concept of the military neutrality of the Republic of Serbia.

Data, knowledge, and common sense reasoning
Authors: Ghodsi Ali , Huberman Bernardo , Wu Fang
Published: September 2023

We explore the use of pari-mutuel markets in a peer-to-peer setting to generate a wide diversity of content offerings while responding adaptively to customer demand. Files are served and paid for through a parimutuel market similar to that used for betting in horse races and in lotteries. Our simulations are based on rational agents, which all act according to a set of simple rules. The results show that a favorite-longshot bias occurs, where agents tend to bet on longshots rather than favorites when following simple expected utility maximization. Furthermore, we have con- firmed that the long-tail does sustain even when the agents only have a limited view of all files to pick from. If the limited view consists of random subsets of all files, the long tail is enhanced. If the limited view consists of the top most popular items, the long tail slightly decreases. We have also explored the effect of bounded rationality. Our results show that the system is robust in presence of a large fraction of providers that have bounded rationality. If the providers with bounded rationality pick random items, the long tail is enhanced. Conversely, if the providers with bounded rationality only pick their favorite, the long tail slightly decreases.

Esboço de um estudo experimental de exploração do movimento. Em busca de modalidades inclusivas de movimento para pessoas que não costumam dançar
Authors: Zinho Pinheiro Inés
Published: September 2023

Este projeto de investigação prático-teórica em curso, está a ser desenvolvido no âmbito do doutoramento em Artes Performativas e da Imagem em Movimento (Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa) e orientado pelo Professor Doutor Jorge Ramos do Ó e pela Professora Doutora Madalena Xavier Silva. O projeto consiste no desenvolvimento de um conjunto de dispositivos mediadores da exploração do movimento, visando a descrição, a interpretação e a compreensão do modo como pessoas que não costumam dançar experienciam ‘modalidades inclusivas de movimento’. Para tal, em dezembro de 2022, iniciei a dinamização de um primeiro ciclo de sessões de movimento. Subsequentemente, em maio de 2023, dinamizei o segundo ciclo. Estas sessões, para além das propostas de exploração do movimento, incluem práticas conducentes à tomada de consciência do corpo próprio e ao acesso à interioridade dos participantes no estúdio de dança. As finalidades últimas desta investigação decorrem do meu interesse em afinar a minha prática enquanto professora de dança, assim como visam o aperfeiçoamento de dispositivos que conduzam à exploração do movimento. Assim, este projeto pretende desenvolver uma investigação com uma dupla intencionalidade, ou seja, a otimização da minha intervenção pedagógica, e também uma intencionalidade heurística (a produção artístico-teórica do objeto em estudo). Noutros termos, ao longo do desenvolvimento de dispositivos de exploração do movimento com os participantes, estarei atenta a possíveis desvelamentos teóricos do âmbito pedagógico e artístico.

Though it is not recommended for mining the data sets produced by any closed-form solution, our approach is very much aiming at the standard satisfiability (SAT) or assignment problem in terms of searching for the existence of learning models and their performance using machine learning algorithms. Here we claim that we do not apply the analytical or theoretical method in the sense it is not based on conventional or well-established minimization rules or circuit synthesis in mind but the application of computational codes for prediction for the given Boolean circuits. The main objectives are to get classification on mapping Boolean literal values to some predefined functional output and to get maximum accuracy of such classifiers. Here we have enumerated the results up to 20 bits majority operator as an instance for constructing the learning models based on machine learning algorithms. The similarity and significance of the results are shown and thus it may open the possibility for extensibility and generalizability to other types of Boolean circuits. The maximum average performance is found to be 80.72% of accuracy and 74.81% of precision based on the selected set of classifiers.
GEOЕTHERMAL OVERVIEW OF UKRAINE
Authors: Demchuk Yu.V. , Liventseva H.A.
Published: September 2023

This article is the summary of a report that was presented in March 2023 during the Ukrainian-Spanish cycle of conferences as of 'Global vision of Ukrainian Geology the 'Future of Geothermal Energy in Ukraine', organized by GEO3BCN-CSIC. The geothermal potential of Ukraine can play a key role in accelerating the transition to clean energy. Therefore, this article provides a detailed characteristics of the main types of geothermal sources in Ukraine, such as shallow geothermal, thermal waters and deep geothermal which can be apply for direct use, district heating as well as electricity generation. Analysis of the distribution of deep heat flux values on the territory of Ukraine, which varies from 40 to over 120 mW/m2, allows to identify three main prospective zones, confined to the main oil and gas-bearing regions such as Transcarpathian (west), Steppe Crimea (south) and Dnipro-Donetsk basin (east). The total geothermal potential of Ukraine is estimated at 438*106 kWh p/ year. Annual technically achievable energy potential of geothermal energy in Ukraine is equivalent to 8,4 Mtoe, and its use can save around 10 bcm of natural gas. Currently, the development of geothermal energy is at an initial stage in Ukraine. Only low-temperature thermal waters are used mainly for recreational purposes in Transcarpathia and for heat supply in the Crimea. Therefore, it should be paid valuable attention to additional geothermal research and tools to stimulate the development of geothermal energy in Ukraine. The transition to clean and affordable energy sources will allow to build a new powerful economy, overcome socio-economic challenges, solve the problem of climate change, and also increase the safety and well-being of Ukrainians.

Published: September 2023

The environmental crisis is a problem of human sustainability. Human life cannot be separated from religious teachings that govern divinity, humanity, and the environment. Some religions teach the value of living in harmony with nature. In Islam, there are also several verses that talk about the preservation of nature. Besides that, there are verses explaining the causes of natural damage. This research is library research. The research aims to find out the comparative interpretation of Q.S. Rum verse 41 and the context of Q.S. Rum verse 41. The results of the study are as follows: First, humans are the main actors in environmental damage, both on land and in the sea. Second, humans are able to destroy nature individually and collectively. Collaborative destruction is carried out by making systems and laws that do not care about the preservation of nature.
Refeeding Syndrome In Schizophrenia Case Report
Authors: DORDOYE EUGENE , Fiagbe Delali , Dziwornu Emmanuel , Aku Thelma Mpoku Alalbila , Stiles-Darko Josephine
Published: September 2023

Background
Recent studies have shown growing concern for refeeding syndrome (RFS) among patients suffering from other medical conditions, although the exact incidence in this population is unknown. RFS occurs with the rapid reintroduction of calories to severely malnourished patients. It becomes critical for clinicians to have a high incidence of suspicion for prompt diagnosis and appropriate management to keep them alive if the malnutrition does not take their lives.
 
Case presentation
We report a case of a 53-year-old man with an 8-year history of schizophrenia and a 3-month history of poor feeding. He was admitted on account of refusal to feed or drink for two weeks prior to presentation. As a result, he was severely malnourished, and we started refeeding while dealing with his psychotic symptoms. He gained about 2kg within a week of admission, but that was fraught with metabolic derangements, which included, but were not limited to, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesaemia, and hypocalcaemia. We revised his diagnosis to RFS in schizophrenia and managed it as such.
 
Conclusion
Diagnosis of RFS is based on a constellation of electrolyte deficiencies and clinical presentation as there are no agreed biomarkers. Unfortunately, one of the cardinal electrolyte deficiencies, hypophosphatemia, does not have readily available formulations for its correction, and this can lead to neurological, cardiovascular, and other complications, including sudden death. Delay in diagnosis worsens the prognosis, and the intuitive desire to feed a starved patient zealously leads them to death.

Objective: Perception of pain at IUD insertion is one of the main barriers of its uptake. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have been studied but currently there is no consensus on the pain management at IUD insertion. The study aim was to compare the effectiveness of counselling only, 10% lidocaine spray of the cervix and 100mg suppository diclofenac in reducing pain at IUD insertion.
Methodology: A prospective study of 99 respondents were randomized into 3 study arms; suppository diclofenac, lidocaine spray and counselling only in a ratio of 1:1:1. All participants had a baseline counselling: while those in the diclofenac arm were given 100mg diclofenac suppository 30 minutes before the procedure, those in the 10% lidocaine spray arm were given 4 pumps on the cervix before the insertion.
A 10cm- Visual Analog Scale was used to assess the
 pain experienced during and after IUD insertion. Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA and a Post-Hoc test were used for the statistical analysis. P value of < 0.05 and confidence interval of 95% were used.
Results: Suppository diclofenac was superior to counselling only at speculum insertion, tenaculum application, uterine sounding, IUD placement, immediately and 5 minutes after procedure. Lidocaine spray of the cervix was also superior to counselling only throughout the procedure and up to 4 hours post procedure. Lidocaine spray of the cervix was superior to suppository diclofenac at 5 minutes and 4 hours after procedure.

The study was carried out in Wahed Dairy Farm, Chattogram, Bangladesh for a period of 60 days to measure the performance of dairy cows fed diet supplemented with cattle biscuit (CB). Forty Local × Holstein Friesian crossbred milking cows were selected according to age, live weight, body condition score (BCS)and daily milk yield. Animals were randomly distributed into five dietary treatment groups designated as T0 (Diet without CB), T1 (Diet containing 0% urea supplemented CB), T2 (Diet containing 25% urea supplemented CB), T3 (Diet containing 35% urea supplemented CB)andT4 (Diet containing 45% urea supplemented CB). Each treatment was divided into four replicates having two animals per replicate.All animals were stall fed. Results indicated that, daily milk yield of the cows in the treatment groups supplemented with CBsignificantly (p<0.05) increased from 5th to 8th weeks. The highest average milk yield (8.3 kg/d) was recorded in T2 group and the lowest milk yield (6.3 kg/d) was recorded in T0 group. Fat percent of milk significantly (p<0.05) increased during 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 8 th weeks in the treatment groups compared to control group. Similar to fat, protein percent of milk also increased significantly in the 1st (p<0.001); 2nd, 5th, 8th (p<0.05) and7 th(p<0.01) weeks. The SNF percent differed significantly in the 1st , 2 nd, 5th (p<0.01); 3rd and 7th (p<0.001) weeks. The TS percent differed significantly in the 1st, 7th (p<0.01); 3rd (p<0.001) and 5th (p<0.05) weeks in irregular fashion. On average (1-8 weeks), milk fat, milk protein, SNF and TS percent were higher in the T2 and lower in T0 groups respectively. Cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT, bilirubin, urea, creatinine and serum protein remained unchanged (p>0.05) throughout the experimental period except serum glucose which differed (p<0.001) in the 8th week. It was concluded that, supplementation of CB containing 25% urea substantially improved milk yield, milk fat, protein, SNF and TS without interfering hemato-biochemical parameters of the cows. Therefore, CB in addition to basal diet, may be suggested as a novel approach for feeding dairy cows.

Repeat breeding is one of the important problems in dairy sector of Bangladesh causing economic loss due to reduced production and additional cost on management of cows. This study was conducted to estimate the occurrences of repeat breeder and its frequency distribution in household dairy cows. Total 120 cows from 15 selected households in Hathazari Upazilla, Chattogram during January to March 2018 were considered for this study. Repeat breeding defined as cows less than 10 years old failure to conceive after 3 or more regularly successive services (AI/Natural) in the absence of detectable abnormalities. Households were selected with the history of cow(s) failure to concept even after three or more regular services without any detectable abnormality. Cow’s level factors, households level factors and few organisms in uterine environment were studied as risk factors on repeat breeding.The results revealed25 % (N=120) repeat breeder cows in the household dairy. Cows level factors find out that aged with >6-8 years (33%) and having uterine infection (52%) had significantly influenced the occurrence of repeat breeding. In regards of household level factors, minimum level of farmer’s education, poor drainage system and dirty cows were influenced (P≤0.05) repeat breeding cows. Uterine fluid bacteriological culture showed that Staphylococcus spp. (76%) and E. coli (13%) were commonly found in repeat breeder cows.

A one-year-old female 350kg Holstein Friesian crossbreed dairy cow was referred to the SAQ teaching veterinary hospital, Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University. The complaint was recorded as gradually swelling the right fore limb elbow area and formed a large mass from the last four weeks. On clinical examination the cow had pyrexia, mild dehydration and the elbow with knee joint of right fore limb had swelling and pain on palpation. Weight bearing lameness with large pus filled mass with inflammatory sign diagnosed on the affected limb through an aseptic needle aspiration.On the basis of clinical history, clinical examination and subcutaneocentesis,the case was diagnosed as subcutaneous abscess. A surgical operation was decided to correct the subcutaneous abscess. The animal was successfully treated by evacuating the pus and washed out with povidone iodine impregnated gauge. Seton was placed into the cavity for preventing secondary closure and facilitating the drainage of pus and allowed for epithelialization and heal from the inside and parenteral administration of antibiotics, antihistaminic, NSAID. The cow successfully recovered after two weeks without any other complication
The Development of Track and Field Learning Management Model for High-Performance Athletics in Guangzhou

Published: September 2023

Background and Aim: In the construction of a sports powerhouse, the government has paid more and more attention to the training of track and field athletics, and learning management is one of the important components of the management of track and field athletics. The deviation of cultural achievements of Universities Track and Field Athletes exposes the inadequacy of the learning management model, optimizing the learning management model is an effective measure to improve the comprehensive quality of track and field athletics. This study was to construct a model of learning management of Universities Track and Field Athletes in Guangzhou.
Materials and Methods: This study employs the methods of in-depth interviews, questionnaire surveys, the Delphi method, and mathematical statistics. Based on the POLC theory, this article analyzes the current situation of learning management modes for college track and field athletes in terms of enrollment management, program management, major management, learning process management, assessment and ranking management, and graduation management. To this end, the article summarizes the influencing factors through expert evaluations and constructs a new learning management mode. l.
Results: after analysis was found as follows： (1) Planning: implement strict enrollment management, and improve the cultural foundation of track and field athletes from the source. (2) Organization is the main structure for learning and management of college track and field athletes in Guangzhou including five parts: government, schools, academic teachers, coaches, and high-level athletes themselves. (3) Leading has established a governance system that promotes multi-party co-governance, mutual benefit, and mutual promotion establishes a unified national enrollment deadline, and postpones professional exams. And (4) Controlling reforms should be implemented in various aspects such as the recruitment of high-level athletes, professional settings, and training time for track and field athletes. The training time for athletes should not exceed 4 hours per day, ensuring that they have sufficient time for academic studies. Academic performance should be linked to training and qualification for competitions.
Conclusion: On the whole, the learning management model of university track and field athletes in Guangzhou presents the characteristics of "wide entry and wide exit", which reduces the admission requirements for cultural achievements to recruit athletes, exchange credits through sports training and competition results, implements incentive measures, and reduces course assessment requirements, etc. Ensuring that they complete cultural studies and can complete the required credits to meet graduation requirements, this "leisure" policy results in their academic level being lower than that of ordinary students.
