Authors: Milićević Marija , Pendić Jana , Trajković Rastislav , Milićević Dragan
Published: May 2024

The previous development of densely populated urban-river areas neglected the river itself and its ecological values, which creates problems not only for the environment but also for the city and the social community. In order to ensure sustainable flood management and prevention in urban areas, multifunctional development of rivers has been promoted in recent decades, which emphasizes the role of rivers as a multifunctional network of open spaces, with the use of "blue-green" corridors and green infrastructure practices, and which views the river corridor as a resource with multiple ecological and social functions. In this paper, the basic elements of modern approaches to multifunctional development of the river and practical considerations for the rehabilitation of the Nišava river are given, and the advantages and importance of this approach for the city, the environment and the river are pointed out.

The irreplaceable role of architects in the process of designing and building architectural structures suggests that circular principles need to be introduced into the work of architectural studios. This paper deals with the most significant challenges and constraints in the application of circular economy principles in architectural design. After the analysis of related scientific literature, which enabled the systematization of barriers and enablers for the implementation of circular models, a survey of architects was carried out on the most important limitations and activities for the application of circular models in architectural studios in Serbia. The results of this research led to the creation of recommendations for modelling a circularly oriented working environment for architects.
Road designing and choosing the optimal variant from the standpoint of eco-friendly strategy
Authors: Cvetković Dušan
Published: May 2024

Degradation of the environment caused by increased emissions of harmful gases and other pollutants, nowadays, among other reasons, is caused by the increased need for transportation, both of goods and of the population. Perhaps what stands out in this regard the most is road traffic, both in cities and in non-urban areas. That is why it is necessary to develop designing and building efficient roads in terms of traffic safety and reducing the consumption of energy, which have been, and remain to be the derivatives of fossil fuels. In accordance with that, it is necessary to pay attention, even in the design phase of the road, to how "economical" the road is, in other words, to deal with a detailed analysis of the movement of vehicle on each variant of the road as early as in the design phase, therefore also with the consumption of energy.

Published: May 2024

In accordance with modern tendencies in architectural design, in terms of improving the quality of life and meeting the needs for living in a pleasant and healthy environment, there is an increasing trend in the world to use natural materials in design and construction. One of the most widespread and most frequently used natural materials throughout history is wood. In addition to numerous positive characteristics that distinguish it, wood also has certain disadvantages that limit its application in the design and construction of architectural buildings. However, by applying modern technologies and methods of its processing and protection, it is possible to significantly improve the properties of wood without disturbing its form and basic characteristics. The paper deals with the possibilities of applying glued laminated wood in architecture, both in terms of construction and design, through the analysis of quality examples of constructed buildings of various architectural typologies.

Juridical Study of Customary Law In The Indonesian National Legal System
Authors: Setiawan Irgi , Muzaffar Wahyu Ariq , Rahman Alip , Sutrisno Anom
Published: May 2024

Customary law, as an integral part of the cultural and social identity of Indonesian society, has an important role in shaping the norms and values that prevail in various communities. This study aims to examine the juridical aspects of the recognition and application of customary law within the national legal framework, focusing on the constitution, laws, and regulations governing customary law. The research method used is the normative juridical method with an analytical-descriptive approach. The data analysed consisted of primary legal sources, such as the 1945 Constitution, laws, and court decisions, as well as secondary legal sources, including legal literature and previous research. The results show that although customary law is constitutionally recognised, there are significant challenges in its implementation at the national level. This is mainly due to the existence of legal dualism, norm conflicts between customary law and national law, and the lack of harmonisation in legislation governing the existence of customary law. The study concludes that further efforts are needed to harmonise customary law with national law through legislative reform, legal education, and public awareness raising. Thus, customary law can function effectively and fairly in the national legal system, while preserving Indonesia's cultural diversity.
The Effect of Covid-19 on Rural Sport: A Case Study of Endurance GB
Authors: Jones Julie
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic affected virtually every country in the world and many people’s lives.  This research investigates the effect of Covid-19 on rural sports in the UK, specifically on the equestrian sport of endurance. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is used to determine levels of emotional investment pre, during, and post Covid. Contrary to the upward trend of consumer spending on recreation over the past five years (Statista, 2022), Endurance GB paid membership has declined year on year with a large drop in 2020 as lockdowns hit the UK according to Endurance GB membership data. This was combined with questionnaires sent out to all current Endurance GB members in September 2021. Respondents were asked about how Covid-19 had affected the continuance of their sport. The results showed that 81% planned to join as normal next year but 18% were keeping an open mind and would re-join when things were back to normal. Secondary ride and membership data for 2022 showed that membership was tracking in line with 2019 and early season rides were full, indicating as much enthusiasm for the sport as there was pre-Covid. However, by mid-season memberships had dropped slightly and ride entries were lower than expected. Some membership patterns changed, with a large increase in registered supporters and riders doing pleasure rather than competitive rides. During Covid focus dropped from “belonging” to “safety and security” (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), with the higher needs becoming redundant.

MSMEs play a crucial role in supporting the tourism industry. This condition is a great opportunity for MSMEs. The target market for MSMEs is not only local tourists but also foreign tourists. In reality, there is competitive competition on the ground. This condition affects not only local MSMEs but also foreign business actors. Numerous studies confirm that the Ansoff Model can facilitate the development of development plans. However, there has been little research in the MSME export area. This research contributes to increasing product competitiveness in export markets. This study uses a mixed research design (mix method). This research employed both interview activities and the distribution of questionnaires. The first stage involved distributing questionnaires to nine MSMEs that had carried out export activities. We carried out instrument mapping through internal factor evaluation (IFE), external factor evaluation (EFE), and SWOT analysis. The Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) analysis reveals a positive difference value of 1.25. The strengths are greater than the weaknesses. The External Factor Evaluation (EFE) analysis reveals a positive difference score of 0.95. The opportunities that an organization has are greater than the threats. The Ansoff Model reveals market penetration as a viable strategy. MSME players need to pay attention to their target market. Global markets are more complicated because they involve different rules. Furthermore, MSME players need to consider the market opportunities they have. We must introduce the product's quality and characteristics on a large scale. The accuracy with which MSME actors analyze situations enables them to compete in any market.

Published: May 2024

One of the most basic needs for human survival is a safe refuge. Sadly, during the course of this century, adequate housing for the great majority of the homeless has not appeared. The high price of concrete materials has drawn criticism from the public and has affected both construction and civil engineering projects. Research on genetic local resources that are discarded into our environment as trash and result in pollution and traffic congestion has been conducted as an alternative material as a result of these and other factors. Consequently, an investigation was conducted to ascertain the feasibility of substituting some of the coarse aggregate in concrete with palm kernel shell. A kind of biosolid waste called oil palm kernel shell, or OPKS, is created as a byproduct of the palm oil industry in tropical nations. Concrete may include this trash as an aggregate. For research purposes, OPKS has been used as a natural lightweight aggregate (LWC) in the manufacturing of lightweight concrete since 1984. In this research, normal weight concrete (NWC) of equivalent strength is compared with the fresh, mechanical, and bond qualities of grade M30 lightweight concrete, namely oil palm kernel shell concrete (OPKSC). Oil palm kernel shell (OPKS), an industrial waste, has been transformed into lightweight aggregates (LWA) by the Oil Palm Kernel Shell Committee (OPKSC). Flyash was employed as a preferred binding material replacement at a constant percentage of 5% for all combinations of mix proportions of ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent, and forty percent oil palm kernel shell partial substitution of course aggregate. Compared to the NWC, the OPKSC produced a density decrease of around 20%.
Cybersecurity And Artificial Intelligence: How AI Is Being Used in Cybersecurity To Improve Detection And Response To Cyber Threats
Authors: Dalal Aryendra
Published: May 2024

Aim: Cyberattacks continue to evolve and AI has the potential to detect these threats and respond in real time. The focus of this research paper will be to understand how AI is being applied to this end, addressing how AI assists in threat detection and incident response. The work focuses on the efficiency of different add-in AI techniques which are applied for identifying anomalies, automating incidents response and providing intelligent decision support.
 
Method: The research procedure incorporates an all-encompassing survey called literacy review and it is aimed at gathering existing information from both academic databases and industry reports. Quantitative and qualitative select human intelligence attributes are discussed by analysing case studies and real-world examples of AI powered cybersecurity systems. This approach applies numeric data processing and open-ended exploration in order to highlight the positive impact, negative aspects, and the most common emerging trends.
 
Results: The paper suggests that the AI-based, cybersecurity systems can highly facilitate threat detection accuracy, diminish response time and help in identifying the emerging phenomenon to some extent. The deep learning model, from particular research, was able to detect network intrusions more than 98% precisely, while a novel unsupervised machine learning algorithm has been successfully used for detecting up to 90% of undetected malware samples. Quantitative data gives us perspective on both the benefits like increased efficiency, a scalable platform, proactive threat detection, and continuous learning, and the obstacles, including the question of quality of the data, bias of models, and the necessity of the human factor (Using Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity | Balbix, 2016).
 
Conclusion: The incorporation of AI technologies in cybersecurity techniques might able to actually be a game-changer for the manner we spot out threats and react to incidents. Although quantitative and qualitative outcomes highlight the pros of the AIbased cybersecurity systems, one should account for challenges and disadvantages that might disrupt its responsible and useful use. In conclusion, platform provides recommendations on future research, covering issues of longitudinal studies, adversarial machine learning, explainable AI, and human-AI collaboration.

Analysis and Optimization Design of a New Structure U-shaped Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor
Authors: Zhao Lei , Zhang Longqi , Li Shihao
Published: May 2024

A new structure of U-shaped permanent magnet synchronous linear motor is proposed to address the issue of low thrust in U-shaped coreless permanent magnet synchronous linear motors. The motor increased the electromagnetic thrust by 74.36% and controlled the thrust fluctuation within a small range by adding magnetic blocks in the primary and changing the main magnetic circuit structure. In the article, the permanent magnetic field in the motor air gap is first solved using analytical methods, and the influence of harmonic components on the motor thrust and thrust fluctuation is discussed through harmonic analysis of the magnetic flux density in the air gap. Then, the influence of several parameters on motor performance was analyzed, and the Taguchi method was used to screen the optimization variables. A mathematical model reflecting the functional relationship between optimization objectives and parameters was obtained through the response surface method. Finally, the multi-objective optimization algorithm of egret swarm was used to optimize the design of the motor and obtain the Pareto frontier. The effectiveness of the theoretical analysis was verified through finite element simulation.
Reología y química: el asunto de las realidades materiales
Authors: Abellán Pedro , Sierra-Lechuga Carlos
Published: May 2024

En el asunto de las realidades materiales ha de profundizarse por vía tanto científica como filosófica. Por la primera, en esta ocasión nos serviremos de la química. Por la segunda, justificaremos que el acceso no puede ser la ontología, sino la reología. Iniciaremos con una noología mínima de las cosas materiales para poder ahondar en ellas. Entonces pondremos a debatir la ontología y la reología: hablaremos de la idea de “sustancia” química, los pluralismos ontológicos y otros resabios, para dar paso a una muestra de cómo la química y la reología se acoplan trabajando. Químicos y reólogos no están uno al servicio del otro, sino ambos al servicio de una investigación de realidad. Así, si por trabajar con las ciencias la reología es una metafísica físicamente responsable, es posible que la química (y otras) por hacerlo con la reología devengan metafísicamente responsables.

The long-term effects have yet to be found out but immediately included financial crisis, depression, anxiety and social isolation. The lockdown globally opened a new window to online education and work from home trends. Many people lost their jobs. It also brought opportunity to people by selling products online.The aim of the study was to find out the effects of the pandemic on the lives of the medical and allied studying at a government-based institution in Pakistan.Study design was descriptive cross sectional and convenience sampling was done. Sample size of 310 students was calculated from 5 institutes of Jinnah Sindh Medical University. After taking permission from IRB and institutional head, students were emailed the forms which contain the consent and the questionnaire to be filled on google form.
Our results are consistent with the findings of others related to the effects of the Covid-19. Students reported lack of physical activity, sleep deprivation, alteration in sleeping habits, depression and social isolation. They also reported their satisfaction with their online learning experience as bad and complained about the increase in workload.
Conclusions
Our findings are consistent with the previous studies. This study is different from previous ones as we have looked at all the aspects of student`s life while previous ones mainly highlighted a single side either academics, or social or mental health. It is suggested that counselling services be provided to students to help them cope with these effects.

Maya Angelou is one of the most inspirational African-American poets, novelists, activists, and feminists, who has also been recognized as a prominent and influential voice in literature. This study aimed to engage in an analytical investigation of socialist feminism in the select poems of Maya Angelou using biographical approach and Johannna Brenner’s socialist feminism perspective. The select poems included Woman Work, Alone, On Working White Liberals, When You Come to Me, When I Think about Myself and Caged Bird. The research method of textual analysis was used in the literary investigation of the select poems. The study revealed that Maya Angelou had a challenging and colorful life. Her range of experiences from childhood to adulthood had influenced how she wrote. Her vision and legacy as mirrored in her works especially in her poetry continue to inspire others to fight for equality of all forms in the society. It was also found out that there are a number of significant factors that aided in the development of her work as a writer and a poet. Her life experiences along with her education recreated the way she saw the world. The sociocultural environment in Arkansas during her period also contributed to her profound writings. The salient characteristics of socialist feminism of Brenner such as representation of women, images of women at home and in the workplace and role of women in the society are highly evident in her body of work. As a socialist feminist, Brenner yearns to end the exploitation of women at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Since this research found out that Angelou is regarded a socialist feminist, it is recommended to analyze other types of feminism such as eco-feminism, liberal, and radical feminism to explore other salient characteristics of feminism embedded in Angelou’s works.

Being in harmony among members of the Chinese family is of paramount importance, which can be strived for in many ways. Evening meal on the eve of Imlek is traditionaly considered as one of those very important moments. This article argues that once a year this evening meal on the eve of Imlek is the very blessed moment for the whole family to share their love to each other, to show their respect to their parents, and to offfer mutual forgiveness. At this very moment, in the new Spring season, the family earnestly expect to get many more success in the days to come. The colourful Imlek is exactly the sign for those blessings on this Spring time. The writer then tries to reflect this evening meal theologically, supposing the family as an ecclesia domestica (domestic church), and suggests some ideas for energizing family ministry, particularly among the Chinese.
Misi Evangelisasi

Mission evangelization is at the heart of the Church, since ‘the pilgrim Church is missionary by her very nature’ (AG 2; LG 1). It logically means that mission cannot be treated as a function among other tasks God has entrusted to his people, the Church. This article tries to present a general analysis on the concept of mission evangelization based on the biblical grand narrative and doctrine of the Church since Vatican II. Mission of the Church, which characterises the Church as missional community, originates from God’s mission (missio Dei) – mission of the Most Holy Trinity: God the Father sent the Son, and God the Father and the Son sent the Spirit. It would describe that mission essentially has a Trinitarian foundation as well as a Christological, Soteriological, and Pneumatological foundation. Since the Church is the seed, sign and instrument of God’s kingdom, surely mission also has an ecclesiological foundation. From the biblical grand narrative, mission derives four theological themes: creation, fall, redemption, and eschatological restoration. From these four plot movements, focusing on God’s mission, the Church is called and sent to participate actively. Mission of the Church, therefore, is basically a ‘participation in and representation of’ the mission of God.

Korišćenje duvanskih proizvoda nosi sa sobom brojne rizike i probleme te negativno utiče na zdravlje adolescenata. Zbog takvog uticaja, stvara se potreba da se reaguje i pristupi kreiranju programa prevencije. Ovaj rad ima za cilj da uporeĎujući podatke iz različitih studija širom svijeta, razjasni aspekte upotrebe duvanskih proizvoda meĎu adolescentnom populacijom i pruţi novi uvid u ovaj kompleksan problem. Istraţivanje predstavlja epidemiološku studiju presjeka sprovedenu u periodu od septembra 2019. do marta 2020. godine u 67 osnovnih škola u Republici Srpskoj. Uzorak čini 2508 učenika uzrasta 11 do 15 godina regrutovanih metodom slučajnog uzorka i 43 zaposlenih u 43 osnovne škole. Za potrebe istraţivanja korišteni su anketni upitnik za učenike i anketni upitnik za upravu škole koji su prilagoĎeni za ovu studiju, a prema smjernicama Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije. Od ukupnog uzorka 17,8% učenika izjavilo je da oba roditelja puše, 15,5% učenika navodi da su u toku školske godine imali edukaciju o štetnosti upotrebe cigareta u okviru školskog programa, 28,1% se ne sjeća kad su imali edukaciju o navedenom, 11,9% učenika je probalo cigarete i 50,3% učenika je izjavilo da ne zna postoje li disciplinske kazne zbog upotrebe cigareta u školi. Rezultati anketiranja zaposlenih u školama su pokazali da 20,9% puši na radnom mjestu, a 18,6% nije upoznato o politici zabrane pušenja. Školska djeca i mladi predstavljaju najvulnerabilniju kategoriju stanovništva, ali istovremeno čine i najveći biološki potencijal društva. Konzumiranje duvana je ozbiljan problem sredine u kojoj žive, a pored obrazovne škola ima i vaspitnu ulogu stoga treba da pruži zdravo, sigurno i podsticajno okruženje.

Škola, kao vaţan agens socijalizacije, predstavlja sigurno okruţenje koje, pored obrazovanja i vaspitanja, uporedo sa porodicom, ima odlučujuću ulogu u razvoju mladih i njihovoj pripremi za aktivan i kreativan život u jednom društvu. Stoga ne čudi što su upravo obrazovanje i školska postignuća, kao i negativne pojave u školskom okruţenju, poput međuvršnjačkih konflikata, često bili u fokusu istraţivanja i preventivnih strategija u oblasti maloletničke delinkvencije. Danas nam je poznato da problem nasilja u školama u vršnjačkim relacijama postoji, da su akteri nasilnih odnosa i dečaci i devojčice i da ono moţe da ostavi ozbiljne posledice kako na neposredne učesnike nasilnih incidenata, tako i na celokupni vaspitno-obrazovni proces u školi. MeĎutim, problem školskog nasilja često postaje društveno vidljiv tek kada nasilni incidenti rezultiraju fatalnim posledicama. Ubistva u školskoj sredini privlače veliku paţnju medija i šire javnosti, predstavljajući pogodno tlo za razvoj moralne panike, što posledično vodi represivnijim reakcijama nadleţnih institucija pod okriljem zaštite bezbednosti učenika. U takvim okolnostima, izostaje bavljenje dubljim korenima problema, utvrđivanje razloga koji su doveli do toga da, do juče „dobro dete” danas postane „hladnokrvni ubica”, sa ciljem sprečavanja da se takvi nasilni incidenti ponove. Cilj ovog rada je da, na osnovu pregleda dostupnih naučnih saznanja, ukaţe na kriminološke i viktimološke karakteristike ubistava u školskoj sredini, sa posebnim osvrtom na individualne, porodične i šire socijalne faktore koji su pogodovali nasilnom ponašanju maloletnika sa letalnim ishodom, čije teorijsko uporište je analizirano na primeru Masakra u Kolumbajnu.

Metasurfaces can realize flexible modulation of electromagnetic waves at the wavelength level. However, the reported functions of metasurface are usually fixed and cannot be changed, once its structural design is completed. The designed metasurface cannot meet the requirements for flexible regulation of terahertz waves. We find that the phase change material of vanadium dioxide can achieve a transition from insulating state to metallic state through thermal, electrical, or light excitation, and the phase transition of this material is reversible. Therefore, using vanadium dioxide to form a composite metasurface can achieve dynamic modulation of terahertz waves. In this study, we propose a terahertz metasurface with switchable broadband absorption and polarization conversion. The proposed metasurface is composed of a 9-layer structure stacked from bottom to top with a combination pattern of different dielectric layers. By adjusting the conductivity of vanadium dioxide, the designed metasurface can achieve flexible switching between terahertz wave absorption function and polarization conversion function. When the vanadium dioxide is in the metal state, the designed metasurface behaves as a broadband absorber with an absorption rate of more than 90% in a range of 6.32–18.06 THz and a relative bandwidth of 96.3%. When the vanadium dioxide is in the insulated state, the designed structure acts as a polarization converter in a frequency range of 2.41–3.42 THz, 4.78–7.48 THz, and 9.53–9.73 THz, respectively, with a polarization conversion rate of over 90%. We believe that this metasurface structure will have good applications in the fields of terahertz wave detection, terahertz switches, terahertz filtering, terahertz communication, and terahertz sensing.

Germline epigenetic programming, including genomic imprinting, substantially influences offspring development. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays an important role in Histone 3 Lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3)-dependent imprinting, loss of which leads to growth and developmental changes in mouse offspring. In this study, we show that offspring from mouse oocytes lacking the PRC2 protein Embryonic Ectoderm Development (EED) were initially developmentally delayed, characterised by low blastocyst cell counts and substantial growth delay in mid-gestation embryos. This initial developmental delay was resolved as offspring underwent accelerated fetal development and growth in late gestation resulting in offspring that were similar stage and weight to controls at birth. The accelerated development and growth in offspring from Eed-null oocytes was associated with remodelling of the placenta, which involved an increase in fetal and maternal tissue size, conspicuous expansion of the glycogen-enriched cell population, and delayed parturition. Despite placental remodelling and accelerated offspring fetal growth and development, placental efficiency, and fetal blood glucose levels were low, and the fetal blood metabolome was unchanged. Moreover, while expression of the H3K27me3-imprinted gene and amino acid transporter Slc38a4 was increased, fetal blood levels of individual amino acids were similar to controls, indicating that placental amino acid transport was not enhanced. Genome-wide analyses identified extensive transcriptional dysregulation and DNA methylation changes in affected placentas, including a range of imprinted and non-imprinted genes. Together, while deletion of Eed in growing oocytes resulted in fetal growth and developmental delay and placental hyperplasia, our data indicate a remarkable capacity for offspring fetal growth to be normalised despite inefficient placental function and the loss of H3K27me3-dependent genomic imprinting.
