Bespovijesno vrijeme Bosne i Hercegovine / Unhistorical Time for Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Halilović Semir
Published: February 2025

With the Dayton Peace Agreement, Bosnia and Herzegovina entered its ahistorical, critical existential phase of its own historical arc. The possibility for the country to fully integrate within the walls of the European Union within a decade or two melted over time in front of the realpolitik of the West, which left Bosnia and Herzegovina in the form of a fragile state so that in the future it could serve as a currency of regional adjustment. To date, global political leaders have not provided a credible argument that would confirm, without calculation, that they really want to introduce Bosnia and Herzegovina into the community of European states in the same framework as it was accepted into the United Nations. The reasons for this positioning oscillate between global support for the idea of forming three large states of Southeastern Europe, on the one hand, and the need to contain the Muslim political factor, on the other. Both policies have their strong ethnic advocates within Bosnia and Herzegovina itself, which, as a territorially divided and socially xenophobic state, is deprived of its own capacities to participate in its own destiny. Therefore, today's Bosnia and Herzegovina is at an existential minimum, surviving as a country in which the only political blueprint of the advocates of its survival is hope, which, as in all places without an organized future, represents the refuge of the weak. From 1995 to today, hope in the Dayton peace has been waning for decades. while at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, at the time of the beginning of the restructuring of the global political order, there was no complete sobering up regarding its perniciousness. For those familiar with arguments and realpolitik, there was no doubt since 1993 and at the latest by 1995 that the project in which the state unitarism changes serve for peace, instead of regeneration of Bosnian state and society, cementing the results of the war. But they represented a persecuted or marginalized minority. The majority intellectual and general Bosnian opinion appropriately contextualized and rather late realized that within the Dayton context, which they advocated and defended so wholeheartedly, Bosnia and Herzegovina and they together with it are, in fact, its possible future victims.
Kob monaha Save: II dio / The Fate of the Monk Sava: Part II
Authors: Mahmutćehajić Rusmir
Published: February 2025

In the study The Fate of the monk Sava, author investigates and presents modern uses of the works of Nomokanon by Rastislav, the third son of Prefect Nemanja. Although the Nomokanon was created in the first decades of the 13th century, its ideological uses are an essential part of Serbian hegemony. And more than that, in that work, anti-Muslimism was elevated to the level of a Christian principle. That is exactly why it was used in almost all programs to destroy Slavic and Albanian Muslims. The research task of investigating the genocidal ideology of anti-Bosnia, the essential content of the crime of genocide and its threats of repetition, is not feasible without taking into account all the contents of culture, politics and economy in their long duration, which are involved in the denial of Bosnia and its religiously plural people. Until now, there have been no accounts of that work in the academic aspects of ethnonational politics, which need both theological and political enemies. The epistemological framework of the study is the theological and philosophical aspects of the prophetic heritage and their modern interpretations for the purposes of ideological homogenization and related denial and destruction of religious plurality.

Published: February 2025

En el contexto actual se viven rápidos cambios tecnológicos, la vida de las personas está ligada a los medios digitales y, mientras tanto, se transmite un bombardeo de información, mientras se recopilan muchos datos. La multidisciplinariedad trae la importancia de aspectos que se centran tanto en la psicología humana como en los hechos históricos ocurridos en la formación de América Latina y el capitalismo colonial. Esta disposición está en línea con el término colonialidad de datos y/o colonialismo digital, al mismo tiempo que establece un nuevo patrón de poder mundial posmoderno, con una amplia interacción del fenómeno virtual en la vida de las personas. Uno de los aspectos centrales de este patrón social es la capacidad de las tecnologías para transmitir contenidos hasta el punto de seducir la voluntad de la población mundial, conduciendo a un capitalismo de la seducción. Hay rastros de colonialidad en el patrón actual de poder hegemónico, y en esta existencia tecnológica, el tráfico puede contener injusticias, puntos de vista típicamente eurocéntricos, discriminatorios y desiguales. En el siguiente texto, el objetivo principal es abordar contextos teóricos necesarios y resaltar las implicaciones de la colonialidad digital impulsada por el capitalismo de seducción. Por lo tanto, este artículo mostrará cuán esenciales son los hechos ocurridos en el patrimonio social, pero muestra que es aún más necesario comprender que los mismos pensamientos y comportamientos del período colonial aún están presentes en la vida de las personas, lo que implica prácticas descoloniales.

Does Crowdinvesting for Sustainability Pay Off? A Literature Review
Authors: POHULAK-ZOLEDOWSKA Elzbieta , GRZYMAŁA Zbigniew , CZERNIAWSKA Agnieszka WÓJCIK
Published: February 2025

This article explores the financial viability of sustainable ventures through the lens of crowdinvesting, addressing the question: does crowdinvesting for sustainability pay off? In recent years, sustainability has gained significant traction in public discourse and entrepreneurial practices, prompting a reevaluation of business values that align with the common good. By examining how sustainable development goals are legislated and enforced, the research highlights the transition of sustainability from a moral imperative to a market value. Crowdfunding, particularly in the form of equity crowdfunding, emerges as a crucial funding mechanism for sustainable projects, fostering community engagement and shared values. This study analyzes equity crowdfunding initiatives within the environmental and climate technology sectors, revealing a notable shift from traditional reward-based models to investment crowdfunding. This trend reflects a broader acceptance of sustainability within profit-driven frameworks, as investors increasingly prioritize supporting meaningful industries over maximizing returns. The findings illustrate that while sustainable projects possess inherent values, their investment potential is bolstered by the evolving motivations of crowdfunding investors. Ultimately, this literature review contributes to understanding the intersection of sustainability and profitability, providing insights into the emerging dynamics of crowdinvesting in sustainable ventures.

The inclusion of the short story “Sabir dan Sepeda” in the anthology “Laut Biru Langit Biru” (1977) compiled by Ajip Rosidi indicates the presence of Sufi elements in the works of M. Fudoli Zaini can be justified. At least, critic Satyagraha Hoerip also included “Potret Manusia” along with other short stories in “Cerita Pendek Indonesia III” (1986). This research delves into the social background, ideology, and critics’ legitimacy regarding the ideology of M. Fudoli Zaini from a literary sociology perspective that focuses on the author. Using qualitative biographical analysis, the research centers on M. Fudoli Zaini as a Sufi writer. The results show that M. Fudoli Zaini comes from a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) family, evident from his father’s role as a pesantren caretaker and involvement in PBNU (Indonesian Nahdlatul Ulama). M. Fudoli Zaini holds a Sufi worldview, and critics like Maman S. Mahayana, Kuswaidi Syafi’ie, and Hairus Salim HS provide legitimacy through their readings of his various works.

Esse artigo buscou analisar a eficácia da utilização do balão de Sengstaken-Blakemore em casos de hemorragia digestiva alta para estabilização clínica do paciente grave. A hemorragia digestiva alta (HDA) é definida como um sangramento localizado no esôfago e primeira porção do duodeno, tendo como limites o esfíncter esofágico superior e o ligamento de Treitz. O tratamento inicial consiste em medidas para estabilização hemodinâmica, o manejo com antibióticos, medicações vasoativas, somados a intervenção endoscópica.  A instabilidade hemodinâmica decorrente da HDA alerta para a importância da realização de procedimentos alternativos ao tratamento inicial, como a inserção do balão de Sengstaken-Blakemore (SB), que atua como uma compressão mecânica dos pontos de sangramento esofágicos. A HDA pode resultar em perda grave de volume com conteúdo hemático, levando a complicações hemodinâmicas fatais. Por isso, torna-se importante o uso do balão de SB como eficaz alternativa para pacientes graves. Com a análise do presente estudo, portanto, fica claro que o uso do Balão de SB é eficiente para estabilizar hemodinamicamente pacientes com hemorragia digestiva alta que não respondem ao tratamento medicamentoso. Vale destacar que essa técnica é uma solução temporária, utilizada para manter a estabilidade do paciente até que seja possível realizar uma intervenção endoscópica definitiva.

Toward more robust net primary production projections in the North Atlantic Ocean
Authors: Doléac Stéphane , Lévy Marina , El Hourany Roy , Bopp Laurent
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Phytoplankton plays a crucial role in both climate regulation and marine biodiversity, yet it faces escalating threats due to climate change. Understanding future changes in phytoplankton biomass and productivity under climate change requires the utilization of Earth system models capable of resolving marine biogeochemistry. These models often differ significantly from one another, and most studies typically use the average response across an ensemble of models as the most reliable projection. However, in the North Atlantic, this straightforward method falls short of providing robust projections of phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) over the 21st century. A new inter-comparison approach was therefore developed and applied to eight models from the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) exhibiting substantial divergence in their NPP projections in the North Atlantic. The basin was first divided into three bioregions tailored to the characteristics of each model using a novel method based on a clustering procedure. The mechanisms controlling NPP projections were then identified in each model and in each bioregion, revealing two mechanisms responsible for a large part of model divergence: diazotrophy in the subtropical region and the presence of an ammonium pool in the subpolar region. This allowed for an informed selection of models in each region based on the way they represent these two mechanisms, resulting in reduced projection uncertainty, enhanced total NPP decrease in the subtropical region, and a strengthened increase in small phytoplankton NPP in the subpolar North Atlantic. These model selections enhanced the decreases in carbon export and phytoplankton biomass but had no impact on zooplankton biomass. This innovative approach has strong synergies with other widely used inter-comparison techniques, such as emergent constraints, and their combination would provide valuable insights into the future trajectory of the Earth's climate system.
The historical climate trend resulted in changed convective transport patterns in model simulations
Authors: Jeske Adrienne , Tost Holger
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Convective transport leads to a rapid vertical redistribution of tracers. This has a major influence on the composition of the upper troposphere, a highly climate sensitive region. It is not yet clear how the convective transport is affected by climate change. In this study, we applied a new tool, the so-called convective exchange matrix, in historical simulations with the EMAC (ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry) chemistry-climate model to investigate the trends in convective transport. The simulated deep convection is penetrating higher but occurs less frequently from 2011 to 2020 than from 1980 to 1989. The increase in the vertical extend of convection is highly correlated to a rise in the tropopause height. Overall, convection transports material less efficient to the upper troposphere, but the transport directly into the tropopause region has on average increased from 2011 to 2020 in comparison to the 1980ies. These findings give rise for new opportunities to investigate long term simulations performed by EMAC with regard to the effects of convective transport. Further, they might provide a first insight into the trends of atmospheric convective transport due to changing atmospheric conditions and might serve as an estimate for the convective feedback to climate change.

Abstract. Accurate representation of mineral dust remains a challenge for global air quality or climate models due to inadequate parametrization of the emission scheme, removal mechanisms, and size distribution. While various studies have constrained aspects of dust emission fluxes and/or dust optical depth, surface dust concentrations still vary by factors of 5–10 among models. In this study, we focus on improving the simulation of fine dust in the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model, leveraging recent mechanistic understanding of dust source and removal, and reconciling the size differences between models and ground-based measurements. Specifically, we conduct sensitivity simulations using GEOS-Chem in its high performance configuration (GCHP) version 14.4.1 to investigate the effects of mechanism or parameter updates. The results are evaluated by comparisons versus Deep Blue satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) and AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) ground-based AOD for total column abundance, and versus the Surface Particulate Matter Network (SPARTAN) for surface PM2.5 dust concentrations. Reconciling modelled geometric diameter versus measured aerodynamic diameter is important for consistent comparison. The two-fold overestimation of surface fine dust in the standard model is alleviated by 36 % without degradation of total column abundance by implementing a new physics-based dust emission scheme with better spatial distribution. Further reduction by 16 % of the overestimation of surface PM2.5 dust is achieved through reducing the mass fraction of emitted fine dust based on the brittle fragmentation theory, and explicit tracking of three additional fine mineral dust size bins with updated parametrization for below-cloud scavenging. Overall, these developments reduce the normalized mean difference against surface fine dust measurements from SPARTAN from 73 % to 21 %, while retaining comparable skill of total column abundance against satellite and ground-based AOD.
Assessing nitrogen dioxide monitoring techniques: a comparative analysis of Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite and ground measurements in Catalonia
Authors: Garcia Santos Danielly , Parés M. Eulàlia
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Effective monitoring of air pollution is essential for the development of environmental and public health policies. Comprehensive air quality management requires precise tools and strategies to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of pollutants. This study investigates the correlation between nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations detected by the Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5p) satellite and those measured at ground stations by Catalonia’s official air quality monitoring network during 2022 and 2023. The methodology integrates satellite and surface data aligned in space and time. The relationship between both measurements is analyzed under different frameworks: (i) global, considering the entire territory; (ii) by geographic zone (urban, suburban, rural; as well as inside and outside the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (BMA)); (iii) according to the type of stations (traffic, background, industrial); and (iv) at a seasonal level, covering different quarters of the year. Statistical tools are then used to identify patterns and differences based on zones, typology, and seasonality characteristics. The results show a moderate positive correlation at global level, with r = 0.66. By zones, the analysis reveals that suburban (r = 0.66) and non- BMA zones (r = 0.67) present stronger correlations compared to urban zones (r = 0.55), traffic typology (r = 0.61) or stations located in the BMA zone (r = 0.42). Seasonally, the correlation peaks in winter (r = 0.70) and autumn (r = 0.66), periods with more stable atmospheric conditions for NO2 concentrations, while it is lowest in spring (r = 0.61) and summer (r = 0.57). These findings highlight the utility of the S5p satellite as a complement to ground-based networks in NO2 monitoring, while revealing the limitations of applying a direct relationship between both types of data at the regional level and across different geographic zones.
A comparison of the last two glacial inceptions (MIS 7/5) via fully coupled transient ice and climate modeling
Authors: Geng Marilena Sophie , Tarasov Lev , Dalton April Sue
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Little is known about the evolution of continental ice sheets through the last two glacial inceptions (Marine isotope stages, MIS 7d and MIS 5d). Here, we present the results of a perturbed parameter ensemble of transient simulations of the last two glacial inceptions and subsequent interstadials (MIS 7e-7c, 240–215 ka and MIS 5e-5c, 122–98 ka) with the fully coupled ice/climate model LCice. LCice includes all critical direct feedbacks between climate and ice. As shown herein, it can capture the inferred sea level change (of up to 80 m) of the last two glacial inceptions within proxy uncertainty. One key underlying question of paleoclimate dynamics is the non-linear state dependence of the climate system. Concretely, in a model-centric context, to what extent does the capture of one climate interval in an Earth systems model guarantee capture of another interval? For LCice, the capture of present-day climate is insufficient to predict capture of glacial inception climate, as only a small fraction of ensemble members that performed "well" for present-day captured inception. Furthermore, the capture of inferred sea level change in one inception has weak correlation with the same outcome for the other. After partial history matching against present-day and past sea level constraints, the resultant NROY (not ruled out yet) ensemble of simulations have a number of features of potential interest to various paleo communities, including the following. (i) In correspondence with the inferred last glacial maximum configuration, the simulated North American ice sheets are substantially larger than the Eurasian ice sheet throughout MIS 5d-MIS 5c and MIS 7d-MIS 7c. (ii) Hudson Bay can transition from an ice-free state to full ice cover (grounded ice) within 2000 years. (iii) The North American and Eurasian ice sheets advanced southward with rates well above 100 m/yr during the penultimate glacial inception and over 70 (Eurasia) and 90 (North America) m/kyr during last glacial inception. (iv) the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets merge in their northern sectors in 13 out of 14 NROY simulations for MIS 7d, contrary to what is assumed from limited geological data. (v) larger ice sheets display a larger lag in the timing of stadial maximum ice volume compared to that of the insolation minimum; the North American ice sheet maximum lags 5.3 ± 0.5 kyrs behind the MIS 7d insolation minimum. Supplemental resources include a dynamic display of ice advance and subsequent retreat for a sub-ensemble of 14 NROY simulations from MIS 5d-5c and MIS 7d-7c.
The Complex Teleconnections and Feedback Mechanisms between Mainland Indochina's Southwest Monsoon and Arctic Ocean Climate Variability

Published: February 2025

Abstract. In recent decades, the Arctic climate has changed significantly, especially with a rapid decrease in Arctic Sea ice (ASI) extent in September. This study explores how natural climate variations, specifically linked to the Mainland Indochina Southwest Monsoon (MSWM), affect ASI in September using 40 years of data (1981–2020). The study found that strong MSWM years are associated with less ASI drifting to the Atlantic basin during September, leading to increased sea ice particularly in the Beaufort Sea area. Conversely, weak MSWM years tend to correspond with decreased ASI in certain locations. The MSWM influences the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and North Pacific Oscillation (NPO), altering their typical patterns during strong and weak MSWM years due to interactions between monsoonal heating and the atmosphere-ocean system. During strong MSWM years, a positive NAO and negative NPO weaken the Beaufort Sea High Pressure (BSHP), whereas, during weak MSWM years, the reverse occurs, strengthening the BSHP. And the intensity of the BSHP influences Arctic air-sea interaction, influencing the movement of cold airmass and the track of the transpolar drift stream. This leads to increased sea ice formation during strong MSWM years and decreased formation during weak MSWM years in the Beaufort-Chukchi Sea region.

Abstract. Seven long-term observation sites have been established in six regions across Austria, covering major ecosystem types such as forests, grasslands, and wetlands across a wide bioclimatic range. The purpose of these observations is to measure key ecosystem parameters serving as baselines for assessing the impacts of extreme climate events on the carbon cycle. The datasets collected include meteorological variables, soil microclimate, CO2 fluxes, and tree stem growth, all recorded at high temporal resolution (15–60 min) between 2019 and 2021 (including 1 year of average climate conditions and 2 comparatively dry years). The DOIs of the dataset can be found in the “Data availability” section. The sites will be integrated into the European Research Infrastructure for Integrated European Long-Term Ecosystem, Critical Zone, and Socio-Ecological Research (eLTER RI). Subsequently, new data covering the variables presented here will be continuously available through the data integration portal. This step will allow the data to reach their full potential for research on drought-related ecosystem carbon cycling.​​​​​​​

Abstract. Determining the large-scale Rubisco carboxylation maximum rate (Vc,max25) in relation to leaf age is crucial for assessing the photosynthetic capacity of canopy leaves in global forests. Young leaves (≤180 days) with higher Vc,max25 compared with old leaves (>180 days) largely control the seasonality of leaf photosynthetic capacity in tropical and subtropical evergreen broadleaved forests (TEFs). Nevertheless, it has not yet been adequately quantified across TEFs. In this study, we propose an innovative method that leverages neighborhood pixel analysis with a nonlinear least squares fitting approach to derive the Vc,max25 of the young leaves at 0.25° spatial resolution from satellite-based solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) products spanning from 2001 to 2018, which were reconstructed using both the TROPOMI (Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument) SIF and MODIS reflectance data (RTSIF). Validations against in situ observations show that the newly developed Vc,max25 products accurately capture the seasonality of the young leaf area in South America and subtropical Asia, with correlation coefficients equal to 0.837, 0.661, and 0.952, respectively. Additionally, the Vc,max25 of the young leaves simulated from the RTSIF is effectively correlated (R>0.512) with that dissolved from the gridded gross primary production (GOSIF-derived GPP). Furthermore, the gridded young leaf Vc,max25 dataset effectively detects the green-up region during the dry seasons in the tropics, where the average annual precipitation exceeds 2000 mm/year. The clustering patterns of the young leaf Vc,max25 also effectively match those clustered by climatic variables across the TEFs. Overall, the newly developed Vc,max25 product is the first satellite-based dataset for addressing the Vc,max25 of photosynthetically efficient young leaves and can provide useful information for modeling the large-scale photosynthesis dynamics and thus carbon cycle across the TEFs. Herein, we provide the time series of Vc,max25 derived from RTSIF GPP as the main dataset and GOSIF- and FLUXCOM- derived as supplementary datasets. These Vc,max25 products are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14807414 (Yang et al., 2025).

Abstract. Between May 2014 and March 2016, 22 groups of Mount Kenya guerezas (Colobus guereza kikuyuensis Lönnberg, 1912) were reintroduced in Karura Forest, Kenya. To assess the success of the reintroduction, we conducted monthly censuses over 8 years (2016–2023). We determined group size and composition of the reintroduced population. During the censuses, we recorded instances of births, deaths (disappearance), dispersal from natal groups, and the habitat types where groups established home ranges. A total of 14 of the reintroduced groups settled along the riverine zones. Over the years, we recorded an annual increase in the number of births and group size, indicating successful adaptation of the reintroduced primates. Coming from a degraded source habitat, the primary cause of death was related to arboreality adaptation (23 %), and only one case of infanticide during a group takeover was recorded. Group fusion was not observed; however, seven groups with more than two adult males began splitting in 2019. By December 2023, 109 births had been recorded, and groups increased to 31 due to natal dispersal. Our results demonstrate that C. guereza kikuyuensis reintroduction to Karura Forest was a success.

Rapid development of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and their application areas requires safe and efficient airspace (AS) for various categories of its users. One of the important tasks when using AS is planning a trajectory and flying the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with account of the accuracy characteristics of on-board navigation systems. The paper presents a methodology for experimentally evaluating the accuracy characteristics of the on-board navigation system of the DJI MAVIC 2 ZOOM quadcopter. The methodology is based on the formation of a UAV desired track, with the help of which it is possible to estimate the deviation error in one of the horizontal coordinates and altitude. The experiments were conducted for real UAV flights at different altitudes and speeds. Semi-natural experiments were conducted with the GNSS SN-3803M signal simulator allowing us to determine the state of operability of the transport complex with a reduction in the number of the working constellation satellites.

The article is devoted to the enquiry into the category of the emotive code of the English tourism discourse. The paper aims at a comprehensive inquiry into the linguistic means dealing with the category of emotive code which identifies specificity of the tourism discourse. To solve the problem raised, we utilized general scientific methods (synthesis, generalization), analysis of the text corpus, method of linguistic analysis. The relevance of the paper is justified by the growing interest of linguists across the globe in the study of problems of emotivity and emotionality implied in various modes and genres of discourse, as well as the presence of a wide research potential of discursive communication, as a set of methods and techniques of interaction between the addresser and the addressee.

The authors constructed a mathematical model for changing the parameters of an aircraft engine for use in the ECTM (Engine Condition Trend Monitoring) system, which will allow for the maintenance of foreign-made aircraft under sanction restrictions based on the airline data.
The mathematical model was constructed with the regression analysis method on the basis of statistical data of PT6A-114A engines technical operation over a five-year operation period. The proposed solution allows the values of the basic parameters of the PT6A-114A aircraft engine to be obtained, the operator having the opportunity to independently analyze the trends of changes in the engine condition without the ESTM system. The main advantage of the obtained research results is independence of the aircraft operator on foreign engine parameter assessment services. The airline can assess the engine parameters independently. One of the next stages of further implementation of the ECTM system within the airline is the development of software that will automate the process of reading the aircraft engine parameters, conduct their analysis and correlate to the engine operation and maintenance documentation and issue a plan of corrective actions on the engine and its components.

This study, which aims to examine the institutional development of educational management from a methodological perspective, leans on educational management, educational science, institutional development and methodological approach. There are sufficient studies that can provide information about the methodological institutional identity of educational management. It is pointed out that knowledge production in the field of education management is carried out more for career purposes within the scope of individual-benefit rather than for social-benefit purposes. It is stated that the knowledge produced as a result of such an approach is not effective in establishing a link between research and practice, and makes a limited contribution to Deciphering concrete educational and social problems. It turns out that another controversial issue in the field of educational management from a methodological point of view is the fact-value problem. The debate between the view that the science of educational management should only deal with facts and the view that value is part of educational management continues to exist in the field.Dec. On the other hand, the equivalent and contribution of the knowledge produced in the field in practice is another topic of discussion. The theory-practice gap in the field of educational management is revealed through the eyes of both school administrators and researchers in the field of educational management. The reason for the gap between theory and practice is mostly seen by school administrators as the lack of sharing of research results and the lack of research oriented to the needs of practitioners. Dec. Educational management researchers, on the other hand, express an opinion in this context on the fact that studies are conducted for assignment-promotion criteria and researchers are not aware of the current conditions in practice. As a result, it is possible to emphasize that educational management is a multidisciplinary science located in the Decisional section of these disciplines, due to the Deconstruction of the conceptual framework used in the field of educational management from other disciplines related to the field.
