Geography of Pilgrimage with Special Reference to Islam
Authors: Singh Ravi S. , Ahmad Sarah 
Published: March 2021

Pilgrimage is a spiritual journey during which pilgrims have a religious experience and feel connected to the faith's spiritual legacy. The sacred sites are the spiritual home for pilgrims which they have read and heard about but never visited or experienced before. With little attention paid to the Islamic pilgrimage, especially by geographers, this review paper is an attempt to provide an overview of the subject matter and seek to put forward possible future research directions. This paper provides a systematic description of pilgrimage in Islam by reviewing the literature on the subject, analysing the definitions, characteristics, processes, classification and authorisation of pilgrimage in general followed by an overview of Islamic pilgrimage, that is, Ziyarat by defining key terms, discussing the typology and exploring the neglected dimensions in Islamic pilgrimage studies. The study has brought the relics and saints venerated in the Muslim world into focus, which are the essential causes for the origin and continuation of the Ziyarat tradition. It also points out the different occasions and reasons for performing popular pilgrimage in Islam. And lastly, it discusses the future research dimensions of Islamic pilgrimage.

Special issue editorial. Virtual mobility: opening up educational mobilities
Authors: Tur Gemma , Buchem Ilona 
Published: March 2021

The characterization virtual mobility is based on three main conceptual pillars – international, digital and collaborative. We understand that these characteristics are common to other related concepts although an institutional agreement and the transcript of records for the exchange and recognition of credits seems to be a distinct characteristic of virtual mobility. A recent approach to virtual mobility has added the dimension of open education as the fourth pillar of virtual mobility and the new concept has been framed as Open Virtual Mobility. These different approaches show that the concept of virtual mobility can be interpreted and designed depending on the actual objectives, practices and educational contexts, as shown in the articles in this special issue.
Going beyond a single perspective on virtual mobility, and focusing on commonalities, we are proud to introduce the collection of five articles which present different approaches to virtual mobility in the sense of facilitating international and collaborative learning experiences in online learning environments. This special issue offers a wide perspective on virtual mobility, which includes different approaches, methodologies and models towards designing and exploring virtual mobility experiences in practice and research.
LEPTIN: FROM APPETITE SUPPRESSION TO AUTOIMMUNITY
Authors: Ranđelović Milica , Jevtović-Stoimenov Tatjana M. 
Published: March 2021

The hormone leptin is released by adipocytes accordingly to current energy stores to suppress appetite. Apart from this, leptin acts as a proinflammatory cytokine and strongly stimulates inflammation. Immune-modulating properties are partly achieved by affecting T-cell maturation, polarization, and viability. Leptin rises inflammatory cells count, increases proinflammatory cytokine secretion, and impairs regulatory T-lymphocytes differentiation. Leptin secretion and signalization disturbances have recently started to be observed in the context of autoimmunity. In this review, we discuss signaling pathways affected by the satiety hormone, its effect on T-lymphocyte maturation, differentiation and polarization, and relation to other immune-modulating agents. In the end, we highlight the rising evidence connecting hyperleptinemia state which is almost always related to obesity, with autoimmune disorders and take a brief overview of possible mechanisms behind leptin’s potency to induce self-reactivity.

SDH was first described in 1658 and in 1914 trauma was recognized as one of the causes. Acute SDH is more common in younger population while chronic is common in the elderly with the peak of incidence of 7.35/100000 per year in the age group 70-79 years. Trauma is one of the main causes of SDH although in 30-50% of patients direct trauma to the head can be omitted. Other predisposing factors include: anticoagulant therapy, epilepsy, and hypertension. The aim of the study was to determine risk factors and prognostic factors for the occurrence of SDH, also to show what age group is most at risk for developing chronic and acute SDH. Identify the diagnostic steps in proving SDH and the best method of treatment. The study includes 267 patients treated in the period from 1.1.2019 to 31.12.2019 at the Clinic for Neurosurgery CCS. SDH was diagnosed by neurological examination and brain CT in all patients and all were treated conservatively or surgically. The analytical statistics were used parametric and non-parametric tests of difference. The study included 185 men and 82 women of middle age 68 ± 17.19 years. Most patients were between 6-8 decades. Multiple changes in CT were observed in 63.3% of patients. Chronic SDH had 50.5% of patients and 45.6% had acute SDH. The most common symptoms were headache, psycho-organic syndrome, and hemiparesis. Patients with a GCS score of more than 8 had a better prognosis and outcome. Surgical treatment was the main course of treatment in our study. CT with / without contrast is the gold standard in detecting SDH. Men are at higher risk for the occurrence of SDH. Symptoms can occur later in the clinical presentation so we need to take caution when performing neurological examination. Factors that can lead us to suspect possible SDH are: age, gender, type of injury, clinical presentation, and time of occurrence.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in female population worldwide. The liver is the third most common metastatic site for invasive breast malignancy besides bones, lungs and brain. Breast cancer has been linked with metachronous bone, endometrial, colon/rectal, connective tissue (sarcoma), leukemia, lung, ovary or thyroid cancer. Studies have shown an increased risk of secondary malignancies in women treated for breast malignancy in connection to adjuvant treatment in certain cases. We present a case of a 71 year old woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer 20 years ago. The primary diagnosis was invasive lobular breast cancer localized in left lower lateral quadrant. Micromorphological, histochemical and immunohistochemical analyses rendered diagnosis inconclusive due to lack of tissue so after 4 months rebiopsy was performed. Clinico-pathological correlation of the second biopsy was in favor of liver metastasis of partially hormone dependent breast cancer. Immunohistochemistry was vital for the diagnosis on the liver biopsy, in particular GATA3 positivity and vimentin negative staining which helped us exclude endometrial cancer metastasis which was diagnosed before the initial liver biopsy. GATA 3(+)/vimentin(-) panel proved to be superior to GCDFP-15 and mammaglobin in proving the breast origin of the secondary tumor deposit.Liver metastasis from primary breast cancer can in certain cases occur many years after the initial diagnosis which shows the importance and necessity for long term follow-up of these patients, while considering the possibility of metachronous tumors as well.

Published: March 2021

Ecological security, at the local and global levels, is becoming one of the priority tasks of modern civilization. Contemporary world is facing many challenges, among which environmental problems have occupied most of the world's attention. Environmental protection is an unavoidable factor of internal stability and security of a country, so it is necessary to discover which factors threaten the environment and have an impact on ecological security. Mining activities have adverse effects on ecological security which, as a consequence, raises the necessity for continuous environmental monitoring in these areas. One of these areas is the municipality of Majdanpek in Serbia, where the principal part of inhabitants is employed in mining. This paper presents a case study on ecological security in the municipality of Majdanpek, through a subjective perception of the inhabitants’ safety and vulnerability in terms of four key indicators: water, air, soil and biodiversity.

Authors: Tošić Natalija , Vasović Dejan , Nešić Bratimir , Petrović Nemanja 
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this paper is to elaborate a plan for the leachate treatment at the “Zeljkovac” sanitary landfill in Leskovac city. Different processes occur over time at the landfill. The processes of infiltration and transpiration occur continuously, distributing the humidity and affecting the water balance within the body of the landfill. The landfill body acts as a giant sponge, in which water moves, and from which water can be released - both into groundwater and into the atmosphere in the form of water vapour or as a filtrate at the bottom of the landfill. In this paper, particular attention is given to the kind of waterwhich is actually filtrate from a landfill, often called leachate. The efficiency of the most commonly used methods will be presented, depending on the most prevalent pollutants in leachate. As there are many methods for treating this kind of wastewater, the reverse osmosis method will be presented as one of the most widely used . The technological process of a reverse osmosis plant will be described, as well as the result that shows the output quality of the leachate after the treatment process. The major finding of this paper reflects a clear justification for using this method to achieve the desired efficiency of leachate treatment.

Community and the Individual: A Note on Rohinton Mistry's Family Matters
Authors: Murthy P. Eshwara 
Published: March 2021

Rohinton Mistry was born in 1952 in Mumbai, but settled in Canada, is a well known contemporary postcolonial writer. His novels portray modern India, focusing on conflicting situations and redemptive moments. His works Such a Long Journey (1991) A Fine Balance (1996) and Family Matters (2002) emphasize poverty, corruption and injustice intertwined with humour and tragic beauty highlighting the perception of life of the urban poor. Mistry uses both myriad and mixed experiences of a particular family to present the brokenness of modern society which is compounded by various and different memories and feelings. The paper throws light on community and the individual in Family Matters, it was published in 2002, and is Mistry’s third novel. It has been rightly acclaimed as a masterpiece and also shortlisted for Man Booker Prize in 2003. The writer’s humanity and compassion towards human beings relations and problems have been delicately portrayed. Rohinton Mistry’s Family Matters focuses upon the problems of un- belongingness and preservation of family values. The novel reveals the mutual equation of family members and family politics in the post modern society. The novelist delineates the importance of belongingness and preservation of family values through the most trustworthy institution named family and reflects the psychological stance of the members of family towards their aging and dying elders. The novel is a representation of harsh realities and selfish human nature of the characters who expresses the status of an individual in relation to family, community and society.
The Monomyth of Vikramaditya
Authors: Sharma Dr. Shreeja Tripathi 
Published: March 2021

The legendary king Vikramaditya, revered in India as an epitome of valour and justice is an enigmatic paradox of historical reality and mythic truth. Despite several textual references, his historical presence, is ambiguous and lacking in epigraphic evidence. The credibility of the Vikramaditya legend has often been disregarded by factual historians sniffing and screening out elements of fantasy in the tales. However, the eternal spirit of Vikramaditya is beyond what eyes can see and beyond what the mind can prove. While from a historical standpoint an accurate account of the King would inevitably remain incomplete, Vikramaditya, the archetypal hero is absolute and ephemeral. His identity as an archetypal the hero, typically confirms to the archetypal structure of the ‘mono-myth’ and is analogous to mythic parallels of several cultures. This paper undertakes to examine king Vikramaditya with respect to the archetypal manifestation of his existence, in the mythic perspective.
Sinitic Influence in India: Perspectives and Future Prospects
Authors: Tripathi Prof Shubhra 
Published: March 2021

It is a well-established fact that during the ancient period Indian culture exercised a considerable influence on China, mainly through the spread of Buddhism. Later, with the passage of time, Sinitic culture spread to regions that are now known as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, etc. on almost the same lines. Since it is beyond the scope of this paper to discuss the spread of Sinitic civilization all over the world, I shall confine myself to the spread of Sinitic civilization and culture in India. It is interesting to see how these two ancient civilizations, India and China have interacted and spread their cultural influence on each other, quietly and unobtrusively, unlike the western culture, which spread through the force of colonialism, often accompanied with violence and bloodshed.
Even a cursory study of Sino-Indian interactions since ancient times will reveal the exhaustive spread of Indian thoughts and ideas on Buddhism, Ayurveda, astronomical axioms of Aryabhatta, Indian numerals including “0”, and martial art techniques of Bodhidharma etc. in China. Also, Sino-Indian trade and cultural interactions on the Silk Route, visits of Chinese scholar –pilgrims like Xuanzang and Fa Hien to India, establishment of Tamil merchant guilds in medieval South China etc. are historical facts which cannot be denied. However, one wonders, when all these were happening, what was the state of Sinitic influence on India? Was the process only one way, i.e. Indian influence on China and not vice versa? If Chinese culture and civilization influenced India, then how did they spread and to what extent? Lastly, and most importantly, what is the future and significance of Sinitic cultural influence in India? This paper attempts to answer these questions.
Caras y Caretas por dentro
Authors: Di Mare María Fabiola 
Published: March 2021

Caras y Caretas fue una de las primeras empresas periodísticas en formato magazine orientada a un público de masas en la Argentina. En este artículo, la autora analiza los discursos icónicos y textuales de las columnas editoriales publicadas en los aniversarios del semanario en 1916 y en 1917, en relación con el tratamiento construido por la publicación en torno a la huelga que en 1916 tuvo lugar en sus propios talleres. Entre los resultados obtenidos, se identifica el alineamiento de la revista con actores ligados al conservadurismo y la reacción en contra de la agitación obrera del momento.
