Application of Agritourism in Macedonia: Regional Potentials, Economic Indicators and Opportunities for Sustainable Development
Full text linkThis paper analyzes the possibilities for the development and application of agritourism in
Macedonia through a detailed evaluation of natural resources, agricultural structure, regional potentials, and
economic indicators. The research employs a combined methodological approach: descriptive analysis,
comparative regional analysis, assessment of agritourism capacities, SWOT-analysis and recommendations
for sustainable development. Agritourism represents an integrated form of rural development based on
agricultural resources, local traditions, and experiential tourism. Macedonia, with its diverse climate, rich
agricultural regions and cultural heritage, possesses significant prerequisites for developing agritourism
offerings. The aim of the paper is to identify the potentials of agritourism through regional analysis, to
determine the critical factors for development, and propose recommendations for long-term sustainability.
The results indicate that the Pelagonia, Vardar, Southeastern, and Southwestern regions have the greatest
opportunities for agritourism development, yet face infrastructural and institutional limitations, while the
Northeastern and Eastern regions require structural and infrastructural improvements. The paper provides
practical guidelines for the development of standards, integration of agricultural products into tourism offer
and the establishment of synergy with eco, gastronomic, and cultural tourism. The conclusion suggests that
agritourism can become a significant economic pillar if systematic planning, regional branding, and
investment in rural development are implemented.

Solving the Puzzle of Speech Sounds in English Language: AI Prompts for Improvement in Pronunciation
Full text linkPhonemes and allophones are speech units that help to solve the puzzle of speech sounds in English language. Each system is language specific. Hence, there is a big difference between Macedonian and English language. Very often differences are not accessible to the sense of hearing. By using modern phonetic instruments, sounds are transformed into visible records which make differences more noticeable. Additionally, AI can be also helpful in defining and distinguishing allophones and phonemes. This study will define phonemes and allophones while also providing phoneme-based and allophone-based AI prompts for pronunciation improvement. Variations in sounds occur across connected speech for various reasons, such as background noise, the speaker’s fatigue, distraction, or reluctance to repeat. Furthermore, the speaker’s linguistic background can influence these variations. Studying and improving both distinctive and non-distinctive features can help in understanding these changes, which often lead to miscommunication.

Influence of osteoporosis at the level of the alveolar bone in the frontal mandibular region
Full text linkOsteoporosis as systematic disease has an impact on all skeletal structures, including those in the cranial and cervical regions. Patients suffering from this condition frequently experience tooth loss. Consequently, radiographic evaluation of the jawbones serves as a valuable diagnostic instrument for early detection and ongoing monitoring. For example, panoramic radiography can be utilized for screening of individuals with diminished bone mineral density. There is substantial evidence indicatingthat the characteristics of decreased skeletal bone mineral density can be effectively identified through dental radiographs. Bone loss associated with osteoporosis occurs throughout the body, and documenting these changes in the jawbones is advantageous,as radiographs are often performed for other dental purposes. This allows for opportunistic diagnosis prior to the occurrence of fractures, even in patients deemed to be at low risk. While dental radiography is not the exclusive diagnostic approach for osteoporosis, it serves as a complementary tool to screening methods that dentists can used for patients who may be unaware of their risk.The main objective of this research was to evaluate the presence of radiographic manifestations of periodontal disease between the osteopenic, osteoporotic group, treated osteoporotic group and non-osteoporotic group. The research encompassed four distinct groups of participants: (1) individuals without osteoporosis, (2) with osteopenia, (3) newly diagnosed and untreated osteoporotic individuals and (4) osteoporotic individuals receiving treatment. Participants were between the ages of 40 and 80 and must have undergone dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the proximal femur and lumbar spine within the last three months. Utilizing magnification and illumination, the distance from the cementoenamel junction to the crestal bone height at both mesial and distal interproximal sites of each tooth was measured. Digital radiographs were used to assess alveolar bone loss in the interproximal areas of the mandibular frontal region. The average measured distance between the cementoenamel junction and the limbus alveolaris in the control group was 4,248 ± 1,672 mm, in subjects with osteopenia it was 3,9841 ± 1,758 mm, in subjects with untreated osteoporosis it was 4,295 ± 1,224 mm, and finally in subjects with treated osteoporosis it was 4,766 ± 0,516 mm. Based on the processed data, we were able to observe that in people with osteoporosis who are amenable to treatment and who are untreated or the treatment has not been started, there is a significant bone reduction compared to healthy people with periodontal disease and in people with osteopenia. The most significant impact of these two conditions is on the distance from the enamel-cement junction to the limbus alveolaris. Hence, the enormous importance of timely treatment of these two diseases in order to prevent significant loss of alveolar bone is also needed
The impact of chronic kidney disease on prognosis in acute stroke: unraveling the pathophysiology and clinical complexity for optimal management
No full textBackground
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly increases stroke risk and severity, posing challenges in both acute management and long-term outcomes. CKD contributes to cerebrovascular pathology through systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, vascular calcification, impaired cerebral autoregulation, and a prothrombotic state, all of which exacerbate stroke risk and outcomes.
Methods
This review synthesizes evidence from peer-reviewed literature to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms linking CKD and stroke. It evaluates the efficacy and safety of acute reperfusion therapies—intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy—in CKD patients with acute ischemic stroke. Considerations, such as renal function, drug dosage adjustments, and the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy, are critically analyzed. Evidence-based recommendations and research priorities are drawn from an analysis of current practices and existing knowledge gaps.
Results
CKD influences stroke outcomes through systemic and local pathophysiological changes, necessitating tailored therapeutic approaches. Reperfusion therapies are effective in CKD patients but require careful monitoring of renal function to mitigate risks, such as contrast-induced nephropathy and thrombolytic complications. The bidirectional relationship between stroke and CKD highlights the need for integrated management strategies to address both conditions. Early detection and optimized management of CKD significantly reduce stroke-related morbidity and mortality.
Conclusion
Optimizing stroke care in CKD patients requires a comprehensive understanding of their pathophysiology and clinical management challenges. This article provides evidence-based recommendations, emphasizing individualized treatment decisions and coordinated care. It underscores the importance of integrating renal considerations into stroke treatment protocols and highlights the need for future research to refine therapeutic strategies, address knowledge gaps, and consider tailored interventions to improve outcomes and quality of life for this high-risk population
New generations of students, new school creators
Full text linkYoung people today grow up with technology, they use it every day and do not know a world without it. Mostof
our students know how to use ICT tools for their purposes. Schools must help them to use these tools for
learning as much as to satisfy their curiosity. Therefore, we are beginning to see the development of another
category of tools - web-based educational applications. However, technology alone cannot solve every problem
in education. Some issues are unsolvable, but the application of technology can sometimes sufficiently help. It sounds rather frankly, does it not? New "types" of students represent a generation born with a computer mouse
in hand and a computer screen as a window to the world. They are also known as Homo Zappiens. The name Homo Zappiens is derived from the Latin word "homo" (man) and the onomatopoeia of brandishing laser weapons "zap-zap-zap", or of changing TV channels with the remote control. Homo Zappiens plays computer
games, communicates 24/7 with the help of various tools and software, creates virtual friendships with fb
friends, preferring the Internet and mobile phones to the printed media. Homo Zappiens likes to play computer
games in which there are no winners and losers, which are without a beginning or end, and where it is possible
to continuously change the rules of the game. Digital technology has become a part of education and it
influences the needs of today's students, curricula, and the overall organizational structure of educational
institutions. What these new "types" of students need is a more flexible educational system. The process of
learning belongs to them and they become clients to be served. Therefore, flexibility must be reflected in the
learning objectives and tasks, content, strategies, methods and forms of work, verification of knowledge,
technology and media, and time and study environment. This paper discusses the new "types" of students who
study in a manner quite different from previous generations. Due to the rapid development of technology new
types of students who learn a completely different way have been created. They are able to perform multiple
tasks simultaneously. Thus, schools must adapt to the discontinuity of the modern era which makes traditionally
oriented educational concept rather unstable
Analysis of discretization errors in microtremor measurements
Full text linkThis study investigates the effects of discretization errors on the analysis of microtremor vibrations measured in a building located in Berovo, using the EQR120 accelerometer. The primary focus is on the impact of discretization on Fourier spectral amplitudes and the accuracy of frequency domain analysis. The results show that with increasing recording time (T), there are more pronounced peaks in the Fourier spectrum, especially for higher frequen-cies. Despite variations in discrete levels of acceleration, the frequency domain response of the instrument remains nearly constant over a wide range of frequencies, resembling white noise. The study highlights that microtremor am-plitudes are generally small, and significant variations in spectral amplitudes were not observed over time in a 24hourmeasurement period. The findings suggest that external excitation with larger forces is needed to observe spectral peaks, particularly in the ground floor movements. The analysis provides valuable insights into the behavior of microtremors in built environments and emphasizes the challenges of capturing small-scale vibrations in densely populated areas
Monitoring Of Ac Motor Speed Controller Parameters In An IoT Network
Full text linkToday's development of electronics mainly takes place in two directions. One direction is based on the technological development of semiconductor elements that will work in a larger current, voltage and frequency range. The other direction is based on the development of information bases and systems that will ensure the collection, visualization, processing and transport of process parameters. The first direction will enable applications in power electronics for higher powers and process speeds, and the second local and remote transmission of process data and their availability in intranet and internet networks. Taking this into account in the paper, an electronic system is designed and implemented that measures, stores and transmits the parameters of a 1-phase AC motor speed controller in an IoT network. The solution enables the visualization of input and output parameters locally on two LCD displays and remotely on an IoT device. A data log file is also provided for the measured values on a local computer and on an IoT cloud platform
Integrated telemetry platform for measuring and transmitting physical, chemical, biological and other water parameters in rivers
Full text linkA platform has been developed for the measurement, transmission, and real-time data processing of various physical, chemical, biological, and other water quality parameters in river systems. The platform continuously monitors and collects data, comparing measured values against legally defined water quality standards in a unified and integrated manner. It provides real-time information to support natural resource management. Water parameters are monitored using an industrial SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. The monitoring system consists of a central station, a local station, and multiple mobile monitoring units. The operation of all instruments and equipment at the local station is coordinated through programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Data collected from the local and mobile stations are transmitted to the central monitoring station. This paper presents a selection of measurement results and draws conclusions regarding the advantages and limitations of this integrated monitoring approach
