Teachers’ Digital Competencies Before, During, and After the COVID-19 Pandemic
The study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the digital competencies of teachers and the educational achievements of students, focusing on Serbia and comparisons with other countries. For this study, a survey was conducted in three phases, completed by teachers. The time periods during which the surveys were filled out are characteristic because they correspond to specific points in time (June 2019, June 2022, and May 2023). The aim of the first study, conducted in June 2019, was for every school in the Republic of Serbia to explore teachers’ digital competencies as a recommendation of the Ministry of Education. Later, this survey took on a different purpose with the onset of the pandemic. The pandemic exposed challenges such as insufficient teacher preparation for online teaching, educational inequalities affecting students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, and varying levels of adaptability among students. The hypothesis of this research is as follows: Teachers demonstrate a significantly higher level of digital literacy after the crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus than before the crisis. The findings reveal improvements in teachers’ digital skills after the crisis situation, particularly in hardware, software, and internet use, alongside a shift in the primary purpose of digital tools from entertainment to education. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous professional development, standardized e-learning devices, and improved digital infrastructure to enhance the quality of education. The research found that teachers in Serbia showed a significantly higher level of digital competencies after the crisis situation. Key recommendations include integrating digital skills into teacher training, fostering innovative pedagogical practices, and addressing the digital divide to ensure equitable access to education in the future
The Akathist Cycle Dedicated to the Holy Virgin in the Vestibule of the Novo Hopovo Monastery and Its Iconographic Origin
У припрати хоповског католикона, осликаној 1654. године, насликан је циклус Богородичиног акатиста, данас очуван у 20 од првобитне 24 сцене. У досадашњој литератури, сцене циклуса биле су предмет тек основног описа, бeз покушаја да се прецизније утврди њихово иконографско порекло. Анализом иконографског материјала, донет је закључак да је на уобличавање хоповског циклуса Богородичине химне кључни утицај имао руски предложак. Ипак, услед одређених недоследности у размештају самих сцена, као и у њиховом иконографском изгледу, у поређењу са примерима циклуса Богородичиног акатиста у руском зидном сликарству и иконопису, утврђује се да су као непосредни предлошци сликару послужиле графичке представе из Посног триода, штампаног у Кијево-печерској лаври 1627. године. Такође, на примеру иконографских сличности између сликарства почетних сцена хоповског циклуса и циклуса оствареног 1652. године у манастиру Преображења у Дриовуну, потврђује се линотопско порекло хоповских мајстора.In the vestibule of the Hopovo Monastery katholikon, painted in 1654, there is the Akathist cycle dedicated to the Holy Virgin, with 20 out of the 24 original scenes preserved today. There are only basic descriptions of the scenes of the cycle in the literature, without an attempt to more precisely determine their iconographic origin. By analyzing the iconographic material, it is concluded that the formation of the Hopovo cycle of the Akathist to the Holy Virgin was mainly influenced by the Russian model. However, due to some inconsistencies in the arrangement of the scenes themselves, as well as in their iconographic appearance, in comparison with examples of the Akathist to the Holy Virgin in Russian wall painting and icon painting, it is determined that graphic representations from the Lenten Triodion, printed in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in 1627, served as immediate models for the painter. Also, on the example of iconographic similarities between the painting of the initial scenes of the Hopovo cycle and the cycle realized in 1652 in the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Driovun, the Linotopian origin of the Hopovo masters is confirmed
Antička drama i mit na filmu
Antiquity was an important part of the Seventh Art from its very
beginning. There are several reasons for that: a long tradition of antiquity in
the theatre and literature, an attempt to attract an educated audience from the
high class in the cinemas, the illusion of the stable past in the 20th century era
of quick changes, etc. Ancient motives and themes on small and big screen
are numerous. The Peplum or Swords and Sandals genre has been attracting
huge audience to cinemas since the 1950s and 1960s. Subgenres of films
with ancient motives are numerous. In addition to spectacles, antiquity is
present in cartoons and animated films, TV serials, in Hollywood and small
cinematographies. There is no doubt that genealogically, films would not exist
if it were not for ancient theatre and its development. Furthermore, the way in
which myth and ancient drama are part of the film art is complex and diverse.
In this paper I am going to map this diversity, in particular the different types
of presence of ancient drama on screen, not only in the direct adaptations
of tragedies, such as works by Pier Paolo Pasolini (Oedipus Rex, Medea),
or Michael Cacoyannis (Iphigenia, Electra, The Trojan Women), etc., but
mentioning the films with ancient motives indirectly associated with ancient
drama (e.g. Mighty Aphrodite by Woody Allen), as well as those relating to
antiquity through myth, history or other connections, including parodies of
the genre itself.Od samih početaka filmske umetnosti antika je bila njen značajni
deo. Za to postoji nekoliko razloga – duga tradicija antike u scenskim
umetnostima i književnosti (pozorište, opera, romani), pokušaj da se u
biskopske sale privuče i obrazovana publika iz viših društvenih slojeva,
iluzija postojane prošlosti u doba brzih promena XX veka, itd. Antički motivi
i teme na velikom i malom ekranu su brojni, žanr mačeva i sandala tj. peplum
puni bioskopske sale počev od 1950ih i 1960ih, a podžanrovi se granaju.
Osim spektakla, antika je prisutna i u crtanim i animiranim filmovima,
televizijskim serijama, u Holivudu, ali i u malim kinematografijama. Nema
sumnje da u genealoškom smislu, filmske umetnosti ne bi ni moglo biti bez
atinskog pozorišta. Osim toga, način na koji su mit i drama deo ove umetnosti
kompleksan je i raznolik. U radu nastojim da mapiram tu raznorvrsnost, pre
svega prema tipu prisustva antičke drame na ekranu, i to ne samo u direktnim
adaptacijama kao što su tragedije Pjer Paola Pazolinija (Kralje Edip, Medeja)
ili Mihaila Kakojanisa (Ifigenija, Elektra, Trojanke), itd., već spominjući i
f
ilmove s antičkim motivima koji su indirektno i asocijativno povezani sa
antičkom dramom (npr. Moćna Afrodita Vudi Alena), kao i one kod kojih se
veza sa antikom uspostavlja putem mita, istorije i drugih spona, uključujući i
parodiju samog žanra.Зборник на трудови од меѓународната научна конференција Мит и драма: Современи толкувања одржана на Филолошкиот факултет „Блаже Конески“ во Скопје, 29-30 ноември 2024 г. / Proceedings of the International Conference Myth and Drama: Contemporary Interpretations Hosted by the “Blaže Koneski” Faculty of Philology in Skopje, 29-30 November 2024
Sunlight-driven catalytic degradation of tetracycline by α-NaYF4@TiO2-Acac nanoparticles and the toxicity of intermediate products
Up-converting α-NaYF4@TiO2-Acac core-shell nanoparticles, synthesized via hydrothermal treatment and sol-gel coating, were used for photocatalytic degradation of a tetracycline solution under a solar simulator. The synthesized structures exhibited wide spectral response capability, enabling up to 90 % degradation within 6 h, at a photocatalyst concentration of 10 mg L−1. Highly reactive superoxide radicals (O2−) were found to be the major reactive species responsible for tetracycline photo-oxidation. The boosted generation of superoxide radicals is attributed to an additional energy transfer from the core to the shell, established through direct radiation-reabsorption process and Förster resonance energy transfer. The absence of toxicity in tetracycline intermediates, formed on photodegradation, suggests the potential of α-NaYF4@TiO2-Acac core-shell nanoparticles for application in wastewater treatment

Intra-settlement Burials of Vinča Culture at Sajlovo 5 Archaeological Site: Continuity or Change in the Late Neolithic Period?
During rescue archaeological excavations undertaken in 2011 due to the construction
of a north bypass connecting the town of Novi Sad and the E75 highway, several
Neolithic-period skeletal burials were detected on a multilayered site named Sajlovo 5,
located near the northwestern perimeter of Novi Sad. Close to 7000 m2 were excavated
in 2010 and 2011, revealing the remains of Early and Late Neolithic, Eneolithic, Bronze
Age, Roman, Medieval and Modern Age settlements. The remains from the Late Neolithic
period can be attributed to the early traditions of the Vinča material culture. Of the five
skeletons discovered on the site, one is radiocarbon dated to the Early Neolithic Starčevo-
Körös period, whilst the remaining four were radiocarbon dated to the Late Neolithic
Vinča period. This paper discusses their position relative to other period-related finds in
the area, attempting to elucidate the funerary practices and rituals at the start of the Late
Neolithic Vinča culture
FROM ONOMASTICS OF ZAPLANJE – MALE PERSONAL NAMES
У раду је представљен систем мушких личних имена у једном делу Заплања, с краја 19. века. База истраживања односи се на четири села из поменуте географске и административне области – Гаре, Горњи Душник, Доњи Душники Копривница, а грађа је ексцерпирана из Регистра матичне књиге рођених. Антропоними су за потребе овог истраживања разврстани према пореклу на хришћанска, словенска и друга имена, чиме је указано и на њихову бројност и учесталост. У другом делу рада дата је семантичка анализа ексцерпираног корпуса с циљем да се укаже на богатство и разноврсност антропонимског система Заплања с краја 19. века. Овај податак од великог је значаја с обзиром на то да је данас ова област слабо насељена, а је број становништва за само нешто више од 100 година опао је чак пет пута.The paper presents the system of male personal names in a part of Zaplanje, from the end of the 19th century. The research base refers to four villages from the mentioned geographical and administrative area – Gare, Gornji Dušnik, Donji Dušnik and Koprivnica. The material was excerpted from the Birth Register. For the purposes of this research, anthroponyms were classified according to origin into Christian, Slavic and other names, which indicates their number and frequency. The second part of the paper provides a semantic analysis of the excerpted corpus with the aim of indicating the richness and diversity of the anthroponymic system of Zaplanje from the end of the 19th century. This data is of great importance considering that today this area is poorly populated, and that the population has decreased fivefold in just over 100 years

State of Research of the Serbian Medieval Monuments at the Time of the Internationalization of Byzantine Studies
Рад прати развој истраживања српских средњовековних споменика у ширем оквиру интернационализације византологије од средине XIX века до међуратног периода. Полази од путописно-антикварног интересовања (нарочито код Феликса Каница), затим анализира прве систематске теренске кампање српских архитеката Михаила Валтровића и Драгутина Милутиновића и значај њихове документације. Посебна пажња посвећена је улози руских научних иницијатива у Османском царству (експедиције, фотографисање и класификације архитектуре код Покришкина и др.), као и формирању академских институција у Београду (универзитет, музеј, наставни програми). У средишту је утицај Габријела Мијеа: његова истраживања у Србији и Старој Србији, синтетичка књига L’ancien art serbe (1919) и утемељење трипартитне поделе српске архитектуре (Рашка/српско-византијска/моравска). Рад истиче и допринос Владимира Р. Петковића у фотографској документацији и издавачким подухватима који су српску баштину снажније укључили у међународне научне токове, кулминирајући уочи и након конгреса (Букурешт 1924, Београд 1927).This article examines how research on Serbian medieval monuments developed in step with the broader internationalisation of Byzantine studies from the mid-nineteenth century to the interwar period. It follows the shift from antiquarian description to sustained, methodologically grounded scholarship, highlighting the roles of key domestic and foreign figures - Mihailo Valtrović, Dragutin Milutinović, Vladimir R. Petković, Nikodim Kondakov, Petr Pokryshkin, Gabriel Millet, and Gheorghe Balș - whose fieldwork, publications, and institutional initiatives laid the foundations for the academic study of Serbian medieval art, especially architecture.
Special emphasis is placed on the formation of scholarly networks and institutions (university teaching, museum work, and systematic documentation), and on the ways international exchange helped Serbian material enter wider Byzantinist debates. Millet’s 1919 synthesis is presented as a turning point, establishing a durable interpretative framework (including the tripartite classification of Serbian architecture), while Petković’s museum-based photographic campaigns and publication projects strengthened visibility abroad. The article closes by framing the 1924 Bucharest Congress and the 1927 Belgrade Congress as milestones in this process of disciplinary consolidation and international recognition
