“BE CLOSE!”: SERVICE OF MILITARY CHAPLAINS DURING THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR (2014-2022)
The armed aggression of the Russian Federation, which began in 2014, drew theattention of society and religious institutions to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and revealedproblems in the establishing and developing the institution of military chaplaincy. Thisstudy aims to assess the basics of spirituality and practice, mission and functions of chaplaincyin the Russian-Ukrainian war. It was found that according to their main credo “Beclose!”, military chaplains have become an integral part of the military teams providingspiritual and moral support for military personnel. The activity of military chaplains extendsfar beyond direct service in military units in the combat zone or their deployment inUkraine. Military chaplains became volunteers who 1) coordinate and deliver humanitarianaid to the military and civilians, 2) maintain contacts with the families of servicemen,wounded and demobilized soldiers, 3) initiate the creation of special programs of spiritualrenewal at monasteries, rehabilitation courses at church communities, social events, etc.The chaplains have shown the readiness to resist the challenges of a new phase of largescalemilitary invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation since February 2022. Thereare no analogies in contemporary history of creating an institute of military chaplaincyunder such conditions that makes the current experience of Ukrainian chaplaincy unique
GENETIC ANALYSIS OF GROWTH AND FRUIT BEARING TRAITS OF ‘OBLAČINSKA’ SOUR CHERRY CLONES
During the three-year period of investigation, the trunk circumference, yield per tree, and yield efficiency in 13 ‘Oblačinska’ sour cherry clones were studied. Significant differences among the studied clones and years of testing were determined for all investigated traits, while interaction clone × year showed no significant differences. The lowest trunk circumference and yield per tree were found in the clone 13 (23.2 cm; 7.6 kg), and yield efficiency in clone 3 (0.09 kg/cm2). Clone 3 had the highest trunk circumference (53.9 cm), clone 6 had the highest yield per tree (23.3 kg), and clone 10 had the highest yield efficiency (0.18 kg/cm2). The lowest coefficients of genetic and phenotypic variation were determined for the yield efficiency (16.69%; 20.46%), and the highest for the yield per tree (33.28%; 34.89%). The coefficient of heritability ranged from 66.20% for the yield efficiency up to 98.37% for the trunk circumference
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THE LIGHT OF THE LEGAL REGULATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA AND THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
Industrial property rights and copyrights are two branches of the so called intellectual property rights. These rights in contemporary times have turned into a sought-after investment that generates strong and predictable cash flows. This imposed the achievement of consensus by the countries at the end of the 19th century, first with the Paris Convention for the protection of industrial property (1883) and then with the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1886). The fact of the very large number of ratifications of the above-mentioned acts of an international character and membership in institutions such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is a clear indicator of the trends of a unification of rules for the national standardization of issues from industrial property. The legal regulation of industrial property, nowadays, constitutes a legal normality of national legislations. As long as the possession of separate laws for concrete rights from industrial property, it is considered to be the highest level of their legal regulation within a country. The protection of industrial property rights in the Republic of North Macedonia and the Federal Republic of Germany has been established at the constitutional level. As each legislation belongs to one of the different systems mentioned above, this is one of the reasons that prompted the authors of this paper to research precisely the comparative aspect of these two legislations in force. The authors intend to achieve this goal through the use of a selected number of research-scientific methods, first of all: analysis, synthesis, normative, comparative, historical, inductive and deductive methods
ТИВКОТО ЕГО И ЗАДОВОЛСТВОТО ОД ЖИВОТОТ КАЈ СТУДЕНТИТЕ
Целта на овој труд е да се утврди дали постои поврзаност помеѓу тивкото его изадоволството од животот кај студентите во македонски општествено-културенконтекст. Тивкото его се однесува на сочувствителниот идентитет кој го надминуваегоизмот, без истовремено да се игнорира личниот интерес, додека задоволството одживотот се однесува на когнитивната проценка на сопствениот живот. Истражувањетобеше спроведено на 243 студенти од прва до четврта година на Медицинскиот,Педагошкиот, Економскиот, Правниот и Православниот богословски факултет. Наиспитаниците им беа зададени Скалaта за тивко его и Скалата за задоволство одживотот. Резултатите покажаа дека постои позитивна поврзаност помеѓу тивкото егои задоволството од животот (r = .14; p < .05), во согласност со очекувањата и во склад сонаодите од релевантните истражувања
ОСВРТ НА ТРЕТМАНОТ НА РОДОТ ВО ПСИХОЛОГИЈАТА КАКО НАУКА
Во фокусот на овој труд е приказот на клучните промени во сфаќањата на родот ипроцесите на родова идентификација од перспектива на неколку водечки психолошкитеории. На почетокот, родот бил конципиран како генетска предиспозиција, а еднаод првите психолошки теории за проучување на истиот била психоаналитичкататеорија на Фројд, кој објаснувал дека децата развиваат различни родови идентитетиниз поистоветување со родителите од сопствениот пол. На тоа се надоврзале другипсихоаналитички засновани теории кои ја нагласиле улогата на потребата засоцијална сигурност. Наспроти ова, теориите на социјално учење сугерирале декаразвојот на родовиот идентитет е одреден од социјални фактори, односно декадевојчињата и момчињата ги учат различните родови улоги преку социјализацијатаниз директно поттикнување или учење по модел. Феминистички ориентиранитепсихолози, пак, тврделе дека традиционалните психолошки теории и методи наистражување биле пристрасни и насочени против жените, како и дека родовитеразлики или се преувеличувале, или, целосно се игнорирале. Во понатамошниот текна конципирањето на развојот на родовиот идентитет, когнитивните теории далезначаен придонес, предложувајќи дека на родовиот идентитет претходи когнитивенпроцес, кој вклучува активно барање и организирање на информации од околинатаво која функционира индивидуата. Прегледот завршува со дискусија во која авторитеправат кус осврт кон потребите и можностите за стимулирање на родова сензитивности негување на благородните идеали за еднаквост врз основа на родот
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF GRAPES AND WINE OF SMEDEREVKA VARIETY
Examination of Smederevka cv was performed in area of Belgrade region. Analysis of grapes and wine was performed in laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture and Chemistry University of Belgrade. The aim of research was qualitative and quantitative determination of aromatic compounds in grapes and wine. Aromatic compounds in grapes and wine were detected by SPME GC/MS method. Presence of main herbaceous aromatic grape compounds as aldehydes, primarily n-hexanals and (E)-2-hexenals was detected. Terpenes (linalool, geraniol, α-terpineol), higher alcohols (isoamyl alcohol, 1-hexanol, 1-octen-3-ol, etc.), and ketones were also detected. In wine was determined presence of: esters, higher alcohols, terpenes, aldehydes, acids and ketones. Most of detected compounds belong to esters (ethyl acetate, ethyl butanoate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl 9-octanoate, 2-methylbutyl octanoate, ethyl palmitate, etc.) which form fruit aromas (apple, banana, pear, almond, pineapple)
DETERMINATION OF VITAMINS A, E AND C IN MILK AS IMPROVERS OF ITS ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
As a part of food and feed, nutrients including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and water serve to meet animal physiological needs, maintain basal metabolism and reproduction, and the productive needs of milk production. Antioxidants have important role in inhibition of oxidative processes not only in living organisms, but also in food and feed preventing their oxidation and degradation. In this study determined were vitamins A, E and C in cow milk from three production farms as nutrients that increase the effect of antioxidant activity in caw milk. Vitamin A (Retinol) and vitamin E (Tocopherol) has analyzed by HPLC technique, using Perkin Elmer apparatus with pump: series 200LC, auto sampler, ISS - 200, detector LC - 135 / LC -235 C DA. Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) was analyzed spectrophotometrically (Spectroquant Pharo 300 - Merck) at 520 nm. Vitamins A and E have shown higher values in samples of raw milk compared to those determined in pasteurized milk. The determined values of vitamin A, E and C in investigated milk samples were in agreement with the literature data, and they have shown statistical significance of difference in concentrations of some particular vitamins
IMPACT OF DIFFERENT ROOTSTOCKS ON THE YIELD AND FRUIT WEIGHT OF WATERMELONS
The paper presents the results of research on the impact of rootstocks of different origins on the yield and fruit weight of watermelons. Field research was conducted in 2021 at the Kobišnica site in the vicinity of Negotin, on chernozem soil. Two varieties of watermelon were used as a test material (namely, Mirsini F1 and Crimson sweet), as well as two rootstocks of different origins (namely, Emphasis F1 and Strong Tosa F1). Research results have showed that the average fruit weight of the yield per plant and the total yield of the Mirsini F1 variety grafted on the Emphasis F1 rootstock was higher than in the same variety grafted on the Strong Tosa F1 rootstock. The average fruit weight of yield per plant and the total yield of the Crimson sweet variety grafted on the Emphasis F1 rootstock has also showed better results in comparison to the same variety grafted on the Strong Tosa F1 rootstock. 
NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM OF ISRAEL
The changing nature of security risks and threats has conditioned a redefinition of Israel’s security policy, and it has also imposed the adoption of new security approaches. Acknowledging this reality, Israel must adapt to the new circumstances in order to protect its national interests and to achieve an optimal level of security. The adaptation of the security system to the new security environment should be an expression and a result of the general comprehensive inclusion of all subjects in charge of achieving security. In finding an optimal model for achieving security, it is necessary to start by perceiving the position and efficiency of the security system, while accepting security sector reforms as an adopted concept that includes a broad platform for the implementation and concretization of the specific tasks for the improvement of the internal structure of Israel’s security system
ЗА ВОЈУВАЊЕТО
Преиспитувањето на феноменот на војната го правиме со анализа на трите главни филозофии за војната, со споредување на пристапот кон поимот за војна во современите безбедносни студии, преку разгледување на главните трендови на војување по 1945 година и изменетата природа на војувањето. Авторот ги одговара прашањата за: Тоталната војна; односот на глобализацијата и војната; новиот тип војни; и т.н. западен начин на војување. Во анализата на војувањето се потенцираат изменетиот концепт на бојното поле, политичкиот наратив на војувањето, како и ревитализацијата на нуклеарното оружје и заканата. Истражувањето на процесот на војувањето не може да го избегнат културниот, правниот и политичкиот пристап на војната. Останува проблематично од методолошки аспект утврдувањето на прецизна статистика за вооружените конфликти и индиректно загинатите кои претставуваат најбројна категорија на починати
