Learning economics: content analysis of textbooks for lower grades of elementary school

According to Viviana Zelizer’s theory, child has in the last hundred years gone from economically beneficial to the economically useless and emotionally priceless child. Child is, therefore, protected from labor and profit, and learning economic concepts is mainly conceived as a second rate issue. Generally accepted value is the financial dependence of children on adults, and this dependence continues into adolescence, but also into post-adolescence. This paper presents results of content analysis of textbooks for lower grades of elementary school (Croatian language, mathematics and nature and society). The aim of the research was to examine the relationship between the educational system and the social transfer of the economic knowledge. The presentation of basic economic concepts such as money and labor, as well as described economic activities were determined and socio-cultural context was taken into account in the interpretation. The research showed the absence of some economic concepts and social values typical of market economies, such as entrepreneurship, inovation or initiative. Child labor was depicted as domestic and unpaid

Aquatic Empididae (Clinocerinae and Hemerodromiinae) of the upper course of the Neretva River with updated checklist for Bosnia and Herzegovina

Aquatic dance flies (Empididae) were collected during the “Neretva Science Week” in July 2022 along the upper course of the Neretva River in Bosnia and Herzegovina using sweep nets and an aspirator at 10 sampling sites. Of the19 species recorded in this study, five species are new to the fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Clinocerella sorex (Engel), Wiedemannia angelieri Vaillant, Wiedemannia aquilex (Loew), Wiedemannia ariadne Wagner and Wiedemannia mikiana (Bezzi). In total, 45 species from Bosnia and Herzegovina have now been recorded, belonging to 10 genera. This study represents an important contribution to the knowledge of the aquatic dance fly fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina and is a significant addition to information about the species distribution in the Balkans

Optimized Mosaic Method for Accurate Measurement of Soot Concentration Indirect Method

Global air pollution poses health risks. Soot is a major contributor to warming and pollution. Measuring soot is key to mitigating emissions. This study proposes an empirical method using markers to indirectly gauge soot levels. The Mosaic method was tested against conventional techniques with over 50 samples. This method utilizes markers to collect impurities in the air, employing the µ/m³, m(g), and the newly devised Mosaic method. All results underwent standard statistical processing, enabling a comparison between the new method (Mosaic) and conventional techniques used

Samoopuštanje mišicne fascije pjenastim valjkom

Pjenasti valjak postao je cesto korišteno sredstvo u pripremi za tjelesnu aktivnost, ali i u oporavku nakon nje. Niska cijena i jednostavna primjena, koja nije vremenski zahtjevna i ne zahtijeva posebne prostorne uvjete, cini pjenasti valjak pogodnim za široku upotrebu, ne samo u sportu i rekreaciji, nego i u rehabilitaciji. U podlozi korištenja pjenastog valjka je samoopuštanje mišicne fascije koje se postiže prijenosom težine vlastitog tijela na miofascijalni kompleks. Cilj ovog rada bio je prikazati utjecaj miofascijalnog samoopuštanja pjenastim valjkom (rolinga) na fleksibilnost, doživljaj boli, mišicne performanse, kao i oporavak nakon tjelesne aktivnosti. Iako postoje velike varijacije u kvaliteti i rezultatima do sada provedenih istraživanja, pregledom literature može se zakljuciti da postoje dobre osnove za preporuku korištenja pjenastog valjka kao pomagala za postizanje miofascijalnog samoopuštanja, sa svrhom kratkorocnog povecanja fleksibilnosti bez negativnog utjecaja na mišicne performanse prije tjelesne aktivnosti, kao i za smanjenje simptoma sindroma odgodene mišicne boli nakon intenzivne tjelesne aktivnosti. Potrebna su naravno daljnja istraživanja kako bi se odredio optimalni program kojim bi se postigli opisani željeni ucinci rolinga u pripremi za tjelesnu aktivnost i na oporavak nakon nje

Orthogeriatrics – considerations in caring for older orthopaedic patient

Patients over the age of 65 are the fastest growing segment of the population, and it is estimated that it comprises 12.5% of the entire population in the developed countries. Advances in medicine, science and healthy lifestyles have promoted substantially increased lifespans, aswell as better quality of life with more physical activity. On the other hand, aging is associated with a variety of physiologic changes that affect orthopedic care. Due to natural involution processes older adults may not have the physiologic reserves necessary to promote healing or to prevent or recover fromcomplications. Degenerative diseases and injuries sustained from trauma in combination with physiologic changes and comorbidity in the aged pose a significant health problem in older adults and a major treatment challenge for an orthopaedic surgeon. This review summarizes some of these unique challenges in care for older orthopaedic patient

Ears of the Deaf: The Theory and Reality of Lay Judges in Mixed Tribunals

This paper explores mixed tribunals, a unique form of lay participation in which lay and professional judges make legal decisions jointly. A short overview of different types and sizes of mixed tribunals around the world will be discussed first. Then, the paper will elaborate on the theoretical arguments that hypothesize about the nature and extent of interaction in mixed tribunals. These theoretical arguments, developed using the status characteristics theory, will be assessed using the evidence obtained in empirical studies of mixed tribunals. In addition, the paper will discuss other potential challenges faced by mixed tribunals. In the end, the paper will provide recommendations for further research

SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A Cu(II) COMPLEX WITH PYRIDOXAL S-METHYLISOTHIOSEMICARBAZONE (PLITSC) LIGAND

Reaction between a warm water mixture of pyridoxal hydrochloride (PL.HCl), and Smethyilisothiosemicarbazidehydroiodide (SMeTSC.HI) in the presence of Na2CO3 .10 H O, we got pyridoxal S-methylisothiosemicarbazone (PLITSC; H2L). Ligand with appropriate Cu salt is coordinated, to give next complex: dark-brown, penta coordinated, square-pyramidal structure, mono(ligand)complex Cu(II) formula, [Cu(PLITSC)Br(CH3OH)]Br.In this work is given synthesis and structure of the complex with Schiff-based ligand

New records of allochthonous Hierodula tenuidentata Saussure, 1869 (Mantodea: Mantidae) from Southeastern Europe, with evidence of its spread across the Pannonian Plain

In the last few years, the allochthonous mantid species, Hierodula tenuidentata Saussure, 1869 has spread vigorously across Europe. To date, the species has been recorded in many countries in the southern and eastern parts of the continent, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, and Ukraine. On October 22, 2022, in Szeged, a city in the southern part of Hungary, one ochre-colored female specimen of H. tenuidentata was found. The finding presented in this article is the first recording of this species in Hungary and indicates the further spread of the species towards Central Europe. We also present a few new records of this species from Greece, North Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia. We discuss the spread of H. tenuidentata in the Pannonian Plain, as well as the potential importance of climate change and the heat island effect in population establishment in this part of Europe
