MILOVAN ĐILAS I KONCEPT CRNOGORSKE NACIJE U SOCIJALIZMU

Before the Second World War, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia started from the point of view of the dominance of the so-called of “Greater Serbian hegemonism”, as the main and most important component of the policy of the “Greater Serbian bourgeoisie” in the pre-war Kingdom of Yugoslavia, from which the attitude about the “endangerment” of other peoples and minorities by the ruling Serbian nation stemmed. After the Second World War, the new socialist Yugoslavia was organized as a complex state - a federation. In accordance with the pre-war ideology and policy of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, a new principle of handling the national question was applied in the new state. Milovan Djilas, one of the most influential people of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, was given the task at the end of the war to officially explain the concept of the Montenegrin nation under socialism. He did this in the article “On the Montenegrin national question” in the party newspaper Borba on 1 May 1945. Djilas’ basic position was that Montenegrins have Serbian traditional and cultural origins, but that over time they formed into a separate nation.

Analysis of Marketing Strategies Based on Different Product Characteristics

The mass market now offers a wide range of products with similar characteristics for consumers to choose from, so how to attract their attention through marketing. It is worth looking into this. This paper mainly studies how different companies in the same category carry out corresponding marketing according to their own conditions. This article takes Estee Lauder and a minority brand in China as examples. The research methods used in this paper are The Four Ps of Marketing and literature review. The result shows that for some skincare products that are already branded, the company needs to hire some influential people to be the spokesperson for the skincare line. This is not only because of the celebrity effect but also because the public trusts the brand. Likewise, for products that are not very well known, they will focus their marketing on the daily advertisements of bloggers on some self-publishing platforms. This will make it easier for a wider group of people to learn about the product rather than just targeting a fixed population segment.

Senior Managers in the UK: The Development of Educational Leaders in Further Education Institutions

The knowledge of the enhancement of the journey to educational leadership in the Further Education (FE) sector in the United Kingdom (UK) has attracted the attention of academics. The majority of the experiments reviewed illustrate the formal educational mechanisms that leaders have experimentally learned via their experiences in FE. However, this study proposed that in order to lead admirably, senior academic leaders need additional assistance for their training and hands-on leadership experience. With an emphasis on Gronn’s theory of leadership model, the major objective is to critically evaluate educational leadership development at FE institutions in the UK. This supports the recognition of leadership in Gronn’s model in career terms and explores the significant impacts of the four phases of Gronn’s model in the development of academic leaders. Additionally, this study is interested in learning about leaders’ experiences and how they view leadership in FE in general. This study used a mixed-method approach to ensure that the two main research questions were consistently addressed. Twelve leaders at the FBT participated in face-to-face interviews for the data-gathering process, while 61 leaders in the UK completed a questionnaire. The results showed that developing into an effective leader requires a number of factors, or what Gronn’s concept of the leadership journey refers to as four sequential phases. Four areas of critical impact were identified during the professional pathway: family influence, educational influence, influential people, and significant experiences. The leader’s major experiences, character traits, and leadership aspirations were all shaped by fostering knowledge. The research on educational leadership supports the idea that a school leader’s capacity is greatly influenced by their leadership, which is the implication of this study.

11세기 후반기 보갑법의 시행과 향촌 질서

The Bao-jia System was implemented in 1070. It was Zhao Zi-ji's proposal that was a decisive opportunity for the introduction of the Bao-jia System as part of the New Policy. Zhao Zi-ji's suggestion was adopted as it is. The Bao-jia System consisted of several upper and lower organizations. The heads of each unit were appointed by the influential people of the village. The Bao-jia System soon expanded across the country. The spread of the Bao-jia system had significant regional variations. The general direction of spread was North China first, followed by other regions. The Bao-jia System was first introduced as an autonomous police organization and soon transformed into a military organization. The Bao-jia System caused a lot of burdens on farmers' lives. The Bao-jia system never had an aspect of reducing the burden on farmers or protecting farmers.

More than mateship: exploring how Australian male expatriates, longer-term and frequent travellers experience social support

ABSTRACT Purpose Those travelling overseas for work or leisure including male expatriates, longer-term and frequent travellers (ELoFTs) may be at heightened risk for a range of health and wellbeing issues. Social support may mediate this risk. However, from a public health perspective, little is written about how ELoFTs access health information and support and the role of their social networks in facilitating health and wellbeing outcomes. This research was part of a study examining social network processes of Australian male ELoFTs travelling, living, or working in Southeast Asia (SEA). Methods Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory were the conceptual framework and methodology supporting semi-structured, in-depth interviews (n = 25) conducted in Australia and Thailand with Australian male ELoFTs to SEA, aged 18 years or older. Results Findings highlight supports that assist ELoFT transition and adjustment to country of destination or manage their transnational experience. Influential places, people, and points in the migration journey mediated engagement with social support. Conclusions ELoFT social networks and the support provided within them may provide a mechanism for intervention across a range of public health issues. Findings may support the development of policy and practice across industries charged with supporting successful ELoFT adjustment.

Two Layers’ on New Women in Colonial Korea: The Case of Ch’oe Yŏngsuk (1905‑32)

This paper aims to examine the life, experiences, and limitation of Ch’oe Yŏngsuk, a notable New Woman figure subjected to colonial restrictions in Korea during the early 20th century, with empirical resources, including newly discovered archives from the Swedish National Archive and the Sigtunastiftelsen archive. While Korean women were able to receive a modern education from the late 19th century, Ch’oe studied in Shanghai and then went to Sweden in 1926 to study sociology, becoming the first Korean woman to receive a bachelor’s degree in Economics. After her studies, she traveled extensively and met influential people. Despite her notable achievements, Ch’oe could not find a proper job and died in poverty a few months after her return. This paper seeks to shed light on her life during her stay in Sweden and her activities in the independence and feminist movements there. The relationship between her ‘failure’ after returning home and the constraints of the time, given spatially/periodically and gender-wise, will also be examined. It is also worth noting that her case is a symbolic example of the social constraints that elite women had to face at the time. Her contrasting activities and evaluations in Sweden and Korea show how constrained and suppressed a woman’s life is by the time and space in which it positions.

On the Eve of the Authoritarian Turn: Mourning the Lives of the “Terrorists”

ABSTRACT On 14 August 2013, Egyptian security forces killed hundreds of supporters and sympathizers of the Muslim Brotherhood in two squares of Egypt's capital Cairo: Rab‘a al-‘Adawiyya and al-Nahda. Those killed had protested against the military coup that ousted President Mohamed Morsi. The state's propaganda machine and the media connected to Egypt's influential business people designated those killed as terrorists. Human rights organizations paint a grim picture of the decade of authoritarian rule. In the regime's rhetoric, the fight against terrorism justifies the continued crackdown on Egyptian civil society movements and opposition. Again this year, the anniversary of the Rab‘a al-‘Adawiyya and al-Nahda massacres is likely to receive little coverage in the country's mainstream media. While the voices of those opposing the military coup in 2013 in Egypt are long silenced, on the massacre's tenth anniversary, it is time to recall an alternative to the narrative of the Egyptian state. Participants of a women's Quran reading group in one of Cairo’s impoverished neighborhoods questioned the military coup in 2013 and anticipated what was to come.

Possible Treatments for COVID Vaccine Induced Prion Disease

Many COVID-19 “vaccines" are considered bioweapons and are known to have the ability to cause prion disease. Prion inducing agents have been researched extensively as potential bioweapons and the field of prion research is infiltrated by clandestine bioweapons operatives. In order for prion disease inducers to be an ideal bioweapon the target population needs to believe there is no cure while the attacker knows of an treatment/ antidote to save its own population if there is “blowback”, where the attackers' population gets exposed to the bioweapon. The narrative in the prion field is that there is no effective treatment for prion disease. However false narratives are the norm in the current COVID-19 related bioweapons attack. The author performed a literature search to determine if any effective treatments to COVID “vaccine" induced prion disease may exist but hidden from the public. The author believes several such candidates may exist and their use for treating COVID “vaccine" induced prion disease needs to be explored. These agents include doxycycline and related minocycline, quinacrine and ivermectin. The nature of this paper is speculative in large part because of the use of bioweapons in the current civil war. It is of no surprise to many that people working in government, medicine, science, and the pharmaceutical industry are deliberately trying to cause harm while pretending to help humanity. One only has to read the long list of influential people associated with Mossad operative Jeffrey Epstein to realize the extent of evil in today’s world.

A Case Study on Social Media Marketing Campaigns in India

In this research paper, a comprehensive exploration of the subject "Social Media Marketing Campaigns in India" has been meticulously undertaken. This thorough investigation encompasses a detailed analysis of the strategies, impact, challenges, and evolving trends within the context of India's dynamic digital landscape. The paper delves into the intricacies of successful campaigns, scrutinizes their influence on consumer behavior, and highlights the symbiotic relationship between social media platforms and marketing practices in the Indian milieu. India's social media marketing initiatives are a fascinating example of how culture, strategy, and creativity can be seamlessly blended. As the number of internet users continues to rise, companies have launched innovative marketing initiatives that capitalize on the country's cultural variety. These commercials show a sophisticated awareness of the Indian market by deftly blending international styles with regional norms. Using social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube strategically has helped businesses create stories and images that reach consumers on an emotional level. Cultural events like Diwali and Eid provide essential settings for ads, lending authenticity and gravitas. Collaborations with influential people who can endorse things in a genuine and approachable way are a major part of these efforts. In addition, social problems are often woven into ads to demonstrate a company's support for important causes and pique the interest of conscientious customers. User-generated content contests, which are typically paired with creative hashtags to encourage wider participation and community interaction, add to the interactive element of campaigns.

Community Based Influencer Node Identification using Hybrid Optimisation Algorithm in Social Networks

ABSTRACT In social networking, influence maximisation (IM) refers to identifying influential people who will maximise the adoption of information or products. Hence, in the proposed work, the system offers a novel hybrid optimisation approach for identifying the top influential nodes based on community structure, which improves the diffusion of influence in social networks. In this, the improved wild horse genetic algorithm-based optimisation (IWHGAO) is proposed to detect the community in the social network. The proposed IWHGAO has the balanced intensification and diversification capability that provides the optimal solution for detecting the community, and the fast convergence of the algorithm ensures a minimal execution time. Then, the candidate community and node selection are performed before the seed selection using the proposed hybrid k-shell honey decomposition. Python software is used to implement the suggested model for analysing the performance in terms of influence, execution time, accuracy, spread size, and gNMI value of the proposed method.

Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of guidelines in rare diseases: a systematic review

BackgroundRare diseases present a challenge to guideline implementation due to a low prevalence in the general population and the unfamiliarity of healthcare professionals. Existing literature in more common diseases references barriers and facilitators to guideline implementation. This systematic review aims to identify these barriers and facilitators in rare diseases from existing literature.MethodsA multi-stage strategy included searching MEDLINE PubMed, EMBASE Ovid, Web of Science and Cochrane library from the earliest date available to April 2021, Orphanet journal hand-search, a pearl-growing strategy from a primary source and reference/citation search was performed. The Integrated Checklist of Determinants of Practice which comprises of twelve checklists and taxonomies, informed by 57 potential determinants was selected as a screening tool to identify determinants that warrant further in-depth investigation to inform design of future implementation strategies.ResultsForty-four studies were included, most of which were conducted in the United States (54.5%). There were 168 barriers across 36 determinants (37 studies) and 52 facilitators across 22 determinants (22 studies). Fifteen diseases were included across eight WHO ICD-11 disease categories. Together individual health professional factors and guideline factors formed the majority of the reported determinants (59.5% of barriers and 53.8% of facilitators). Overall, the three most reported individual barriers were the awareness/familiarity with the recommendation, domain knowledge and feasibility. The three most reported individual facilitators were awareness/familiarity with the recommendation, agreement with the recommendation and ability to readily access the guidelines. Resource barriers to implementation included technology costs, ancillary staff costs and more cost-effective alternatives. There was a paucity of studies reporting influential people, patient advocacy groups or opinion leaders, or organisational factors influencing implementation.ConclusionsKey barriers and facilitators to the implementation of clinical practice guidelines in the setting of rare diseases were at the individual health professional and guideline level. Influential people and organisational factors were relatively under-reported and warrant exploration, as does increasing the ability to access the guidelines as a potential intervention.

Increasing tree cover on Irish dairy and drystock farms: The main attitudes, influential bodies and barriers that affect agroforestry uptake

Agroforestry has been cited as a means to increase sustainability and biodiversity at a farm level while allowing farming to continue on the same parcel of land. However, even with profitable financial incentives currently in place to promote agroforestry uptake, uptake remains low in Ireland. This highlights that farmer decision-making regarding the adoption of agri-environmental measures do not follow the assumed economic rationality. To better understand the factors that influence farmer decision-making with respect to tree planting on farms, this study used an extended Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to identify the main attitudes, influencers and intentions of Irish dairy and drystock farmers to planting trees on their land. The barriers to these farmers adopting agroforestry were also investigated. An online cross-sectional survey using a semi-structured questionnaire was administered to a nationally representative sample of the farmers in Ireland. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to assess the direct and indirect effects of TPB constructs on intention towards adopting agroforestry. According to the SEM analysis, the TPB constructs explained 74% of the variance in intention to plant trees. The results demonstrate that these farmers are mainly driven by their attitude and moral norms which in turn are shaped through the views of their influential people such as advisors and local farmers. The current method of increasing agroforestry uptake is mainly top-down driven and focused on the economic incentives currently in place. New methods to increase agroforestry should focus on encouraging people of influential status within the farming community to promote agroforestry, and through promoting co-design and co-creative systems.

Local Tourism Popularity Recovery Strategy through Influencer Utilization

Using influencers is one way to revive interest in visiting the area. Finding influential people on social media with a significant local following or an interest in tourism and the area is a good first step toward this goal. These people of prominence can be approached and encouraged to write or record content (such as blogs, social media posts, or vlogs) about the location, drawing attention to its best features and enticing their audiences to come check it out. Moreover, it is possible to entice influencers to visit the area by providing them with discounts or other perks in exchange for posting about their experiences on social media. A rise in tourism is a possible outcome, as this might raise the profile of the place and pique interest in it.

Resepsi Mu’tazilah pada Dinasti Abbasiyah

This study aims to see how the Muktazilah school played a major role during the Ummayah and Abbasid dynasties by using qualitative methods through a literature research approach, this article aims to look at the political development of the Abbasid Caliphate which was full of ups and downs. It started when the rebels (Mu'tazilah and Shi'a) jointly overthrew the Umayyad caliphate and ended with the fall of Baghdad in the hands of the Mongols. But behind his political struggle, the Mu'tazilah were able to build a strong foundation to spread his teachings, especially to place influential people in the palace. During the caliphate of al-Ma'mun, al-Mu'tashim, and al-Watsiq, the Mu'tazilis gained a strategic position in the Abbasid government, and because of that, controlled state policy. This article tries to reveal how the Mu'tazilites rose in influence in the internal policies of the state to the top, (especially during the mihnah period), and how their glory faded away. This fact led the writer to conclude that Wasil bin 'Atha's (founder of Mu'tazilah) strategy brought the Mu'tazilah to the peak of their political influence. Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding the mihnah itself played a role in the antipathy of the Abbasid people.

Cryptocurrencies investment framework using sentiment analysis of Twitter influencers

<span>In recent years, cryptocurrency technology has become an attractive area for investment due to its transparency, independence, and non-transactional nature. Many analysts and researchers talk daily on social media about the future of various cryptocurrencies. These ideas can significantly impact whether or not people are willing to invest. This paper provides a framework to help traders learn about the opinions of influential people and organizations in the field. Over the course of six months, the sentiment of more than 90 significant Twitter users was extracted for the proposed framework. In this study, we used the Vader open-source tool for sentiment analysis. This paper provides an excellent opportunity for investment through sentiment analysis<em> </em>of lesser-known or emerging cryptocurrencies. Also in this paper, we introduce the user importance factor to calculate the value of each tweet based on the number of retweets and comments. This factor shows the importance of their opinions instead of considering the number of followers of the authors. This factor causes a lower coefficient to be assigned to an author's opinion if it decreases in importance over time. The results show that in the short and long term, users' opinions are very effective in the market for cryptocurrencies and in predicting its price </span> trend.

Delay in seeking treatment and associated factors among women with pelvic organ prolapse in Wolaita zone, Southern Ethiopia: Hospital based mixed method study

BackgroundDespite increasing efforts to improve access to diagnosis and treatment services, women with pelvic organ prolapse tend to stay at home for years before getting treatment. A large number of women, particularly in rural areas do not get early diagnosis and treatment, and they come with an advanced stage; but the reason for this appears unclear. Thus, this study aimed to determine the proportion and associated factors of delay in seeking treatment among women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in the Wolaita zone, Southern Ethiopia.MethodsA hospital-based cross-sectional study mixed with qualitative method was conducted in the Wolaita zone, Southern Ethiopia, from September to October 2021. A total of 422 women with pelvic organ prolapse were selected by systematic random sampling for quantitative data. The women recruited for in-depth interviews were purposefully selected until data saturation reaches via phenomenological study design. The quantitative data were collected by interviewer-administered questionnaire and reviewing clients’ medical records via an open data kit and then exported to and analyzed with a statistical package for social science version 25. The associated variables were determined by conducting a logistic regression model and are presented with the crude odds ratio (COR) and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). All statistical tests were conducted at a 5% level of significance. The interview was first transcribed, coded, and categories and themes were generated by applying thematic analysis.ResultsThe study showed that 82.0% (95% CI: [74.8-89.3%]) of women with POP delayed seeking treatment. The delay to seek treatment was associated with a lack of support (AOR = 4.9; 95% CI [1.8–13.2]), low-income (AOR = 6.4; 95% CI [2.2–19.2]), fear of disclosure (AOR = 5.0; 95% CI [1.3–19.2]) and fear of social stigma (AOR = 4.6; 95% CI [1.5–14.2]). The reasons for the delay were feeling shameful to disclose, fear of stigma and cultural and spiritual beliefs.ConclusionsMore than three-fourths of women with POP delayed seeking treatment, and improving support, improving the economy, raising awareness, and involving influential people in interventions are all necessary to avert it.

Examining how social networks influence women and under-represented minority students’ pursuit of engineering in university: when, who, and how?

BackgroundWomen and under-represented minority (URM) students continue to be under-represented in STEM and earn the lowest proportion of undergraduate engineering degrees. We employed a mixed methods research approach grounded in social capital theory to investigate when they first consider pursuing engineering as a college degree major, who influences this decision, and how the influence occurs. First, we surveyed 2186 first-year undergraduate students entering engineering programs at 11 universities in the U.S. during the fall of 2014. Next, we interviewed a subsample of 55 women and URM students.ResultsSurvey findings indicated that women were more likely than men to consider pursuing engineering while in high school, before admission into college, or while in college rather than considering it earlier in their education. Black and Latinx students were more likely than white students to consider pursuing engineering after high school. In addition, Black and Latinx students were more likely than white students to identify a school counselor (rather than a family member) as having the most influence on their engineering academic and career decisions. In interviews, women and URM students provided examples of influential people who connected their aptitude and enthusiasm for mathematics, science, and problem-solving to engineering, explained the benefits of being an engineer, and provided advice about engineering academic and career pathways.ConclusionsEncouraging earlier consideration of engineering majors, such as during middle school, could allow women and URM students time to take requisite courses and take advantage of college preparatory programming. Likewise, universities can engage in intentional efforts to identify women and URM students with engineering interests and provide guidance. Such efforts should also include connecting them with other women and URM students in engineering. In addition, universities should support K-12 and university personnel in offering advice that can influence students’ decision to declare an engineering major, which could help recruit more women and URM students into engineering.
