It explores the convergence of architecture and symbolism, focusing on these cryptograms as a representation of the “True Light” within Christianity and its correlation to the concept of victory. The study delves into the influence of the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. It investigates how placing these cryptograms above the church’s doorway resonates with architectural and spiritual narratives. It examines the architectural features of the church’s west façade, reflecting King Milutin’s depiction on the north wall and his role as the “New Constantine.” The cryptogram ΦΧΦΠ ( “The light of Christ shines upon all”) is strategically placed above the bifora in the central axis of the facade, marking the four sides of the Cross. The motif depicting the true light coming into the world is painted on both sides of the interior of the west entrance, creating a liminal space. This motif references the ancient Biblical verse from the Gospel of John 1:9: “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world”. Apart from the biblical reference, the patronage inscriptions and the prayerful mention of King Stefan Uroš II Milutin Nemanjić and Queen Simonis are also highlighted. Their names are inscribed on the lintel of the portal. This study uncovers the intricate symbolism and architectural nuances of the St. George Church in Staro Nagoričino, shedding light on the interplay of liturgical and historical context in this remarkable Byzantine architectural gem.","PeriodicalId":508513,"journal":{"name":"SCIENCE International Journal","volume":"339 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139181144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern companies in the world of race are looking for a way to stand out and attract new customers, which is also true for companies in the construction industry. Today, if you want to expand your business regardless of the size of the company, it cannot be achieved without digital marketing and an adequate marketing strategy. In the world of architecture and construction, every project begins with a detailed plan. Without a plan, regardless of the quality of the materials or the expertise of the workers, a construction project will not be successful. It’s the same with digital marketing – without a strategically designed marketing campaign and effective lease of media space, the online presence will not be able to compete with the competition. Creating quality content, publishing it and monitoring it is an indispensable part of a digital marketing strategy. In the construction industry, it has become very important to use content marketing as a way of informing and educating, gaining trust and attracting the target audience. Because today’s customers expect and look for quality content and information on the Internet. In this paper, we aim to present the importance of digital marketing, then the organization of marketing campaigns and the rental of advertising space in digital media in the field of architecture and the construction industry. Digital marketing in construction offers an incredible opportunity - direct connection with target clients or customers. With the right strategy, using various digital channels, one can reach potential clients who are really interested in the services. In Serbia, there are tens of thousands of companies operating in the field of architecture and construction industry, including: consulting companies, design firms, contractors, suppliers of materials and equipment, sellers of tools and machines and related activities. However, it is certain that less than 50% of these companies do not have their own website. Even those companies that have their own website, or a large number of existing websites, are not optimized. At the very beginning, this leads us to the conclusion that digital marketing in construction is an underdeveloped area.","PeriodicalId":508513,"journal":{"name":"SCIENCE International Journal","volume":"18 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139180576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper is a result of collaboration between two English Departments in BiH, one based in Tuzla and the other one in Banja Luka. The main focus of the paper is to look into English phonemic transcription errors made by students of English at the Bachelor’s level.The study encompasses a total of 30 students from the English Department in Tuzla, and 40 students in the Banja Luka English Department in the academic year 2022/2023. All students attended the English Phonetics and Phonology courses taught during the first year of study. Students’ English transcription errors were first collected and then analysed and categorised, respectively, focusing on the most important aspects of connected speech. More specifically, the study shows the extent to which the two groups of students, following the same curriculum and syllabus, developed their English phonemic transcription skills, with a particular focus on the use of diacritics for aspirated and unexploded plosives, velarized, dental and syllabic consonants. Additionally, keeping in mind that various phonological phenomena are found in connected speech, the paper focuses on coalescence (the coalescent type of assimilation) as one of the most frequent such phenomena found in everyday usage. In the concluding remarks, the paper discusses the levels to which both groups of students in the two English Departments have succeeded in comprehending basic terms in this field, an understanding of the sound system in English, and to what degree they mastered narrow transcription skills in particular.","PeriodicalId":508513,"journal":{"name":"SCIENCE International Journal","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139180708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The entire economy suffered huge losses and the tourism is no exception. The research offered in this paper was conducted in this regard, the aim of which was to examine the tourist habits of the Serbian residents before the pandemic, and then to compare them with the behaviour of passengers in this new situation. Surveys designed partly as open questions, and partly as questions with offered answers, and their analysis, revealed that the habits of the citizens of our country change forcibly and that the preferences of a typical Serbian tourist always gravitate to foreign destinations. Only the pandemic led tourists to travel around Serbia, which, as they admit, they do not know enough about. An important role in that context played the government’s tourist vouchers, which to some extent helped overcome the economic difficulties of travel. The conclusion is therefore that although tourism has suffered damage, the imposed global isolation may be just an opportunity to attract domestic tourists. As could easily be concluded, tourism in 2020 faced great challenges globally, because of the Covid-19 virus epidemic. World stock markets and the world economy are in crisis and the extent and consequences of this crisis are still unknown. Tourism as an economic branch does not include only travel but relates to other economic activities that are an integral part of sustainable development. Some tourist destinations in the world once facing too many tourists, now are facing flights cancelled during the pandemic, and the number of visits dropped in a short period of time. On the other hand, we are witnessing events that are a consequence of the declining number of tourists, and which are a kind of nature’s recovery from human presence (dolphins in Venice, animals on city streets, reduced air pollution, etc.). It seems that nature needed a break from man, and viewed from that side, one can see the positive effects of limited movement.","PeriodicalId":508513,"journal":{"name":"SCIENCE International Journal","volume":"273 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139181202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tourism represents the act of traveling for the purpose of recreation, as well as obtaining services to achieve that goal. Tourism is a service industry, which is made up of a number of tangible and intangible elements. A tourist is a person who travels at least eighty kilometers from the place of permanent residence for the purpose of recreation, as defined by the World Tourism Organization (part of the United Nations). Tangible elements include transportation systems - air, rail, road, water and more recently, space; catering services - accommodation, food and drinks, tours, souvenirs, etc. The intangible elements are: rest and relaxation, culture, adventure, new and different experiences. In addition to a greater number of different tourist offers and consumer interests, the development of cultural truism is increasingly significant. This is due to the fact that today tourists are not satisfied only with a vacation in nature, in the sun, but also with other contents and activities. An increasing number of tourists are interested in tourist manifestations, which show the achievements, beliefs, traditions, and way of life of the ethnically heterogeneous population of the selected destinations. In addition to museums and monuments, there is a growing interest in gastronomic specialties of traditional dishes, music, dance, song. The expansion of cultural exchange at the national and international level through the participation of folklore ensembles at festivals in the country and abroad become the bearers of the tourist offer. The aim of the paper is to show the socio-demographic characteristics of respondents for interest in folklore events that are part of cultural identity and the potential of tradition as a driver of tourist offers. Empirical research was conducted on a sample of 42 respondents in the territory of Vojvodina. The questionnaire consisted of 100 different questions classified into 4 groups. The questionnaire used in this research was based on Delamere’s scale (Delamere et al., 2001), which was modified and shortened for the purpose of more efficient interviewing. The presented research results are presented in tabular and graphical form and obtained on the basis of processed data using descriptive, comparative methods. At the end of the research, the conclusion was drawn that the interest of the younger population in visiting folklore festivals and recognizing folk dances is increasing. The interviewees stated that the most important elements for recognizing the elements of folk tradition are songs, dances and costumes. The motive that attracts cultural visitors is the rich - historical heritage of Vojvodina as a destination for folklore festivals. The destination of the folklore festival is important to potential visitors, as is its character.

The survival of enterprises and the continuation of their business in the context of the complex and contradictory economic reality require them to be financially stable, properly oriented and positioned on the competitive market that is characterized with certain level of entropy. The achievement and maintaining of market and financial stability require the enterprises to implement measures for the continuous increase of their business efficiency. The importance and relevance of this issue are even higher today due to the effect of a system of internal and external factors, and as a result of the existing crises some of which are still experienced. For example, the enterprises’ business is subject to the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic consequences and the health crisis, supply chain disturbance, closing and restriction of many business and activities in the country, etc., it has caused. The business of the Bulgarian enterprises is also influenced by the wars led in the vicinity of the territory of Bulgaria, the occurred gas crisis, the unstable political situation, the high inflation rate, the increase of energy and other resource prices and a number of other factors.The author’s interest to the issues of enterprises’ business efficiency and the methods for its analysis is a long-term interest. Observations show that the specialized literature in the country does not offer theoretically substantiated general methodology for efficiency analysis, which is feasible and useful for the business practice. Only individual methodologies for analysis of different aspects of the efficiency are offered, such as methodology for analysis of the efficient use of workforce (analysis of the labour efficiency indicator). Thus, the objectively existing dialectic relations between the resultative indicators that characterise the various aspects of efficiency and the factor indicators that affect the improvement or worsening of the business in general and its specific aspects, cannot be covered. This publication reviews the methodology for analysis of enterprises’ business efficiency. The concept of efficiency is consistently highlighted, the sources of the information necessary for its analysis are described, and the system of indicators for business efficiency analysis is justified. The author’s objective is to suggest an improved general methodology for analysis of business efficiency, which integrates the individual private methods for analysis of its different aspects in the course of the enterprises’ business.","PeriodicalId":508513,"journal":{"name":"SCIENCE International Journal","volume":"86 1-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139181377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six fundamental aspects of smart cities are identified by researchers: people, transportation, living, government, environment, and economics. Moreover, the main goal of developing smart cities is to use information technology to increase urban sustainability. In order to evaluate how well European cities have the capacity to change according to the requirements of their population, the aim of this study is to ensure an aggregate rating of smart city performance based on citizens’ needs. The research creates an important contribution by offering an extensive framework to measure smart cities’ urban performance using the multi-criteria ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) decision-making method.

An even more important role is played by the teacher, on whom the quality of teaching depends a lot. Teachers fight their own battles along the way - how to interest the student and develop positive attitudes about teaching and teaching content, how to implement teaching as high-quality as possible, how to contribute to better student achievements, etc. One of the key things for quality acquisition of knowledge is students’ awareness of the importance and applicability of the teaching content they learn. The concept of the content of natural science, on which we will base this work, refers to the content of natural sciences that are covered within the subject My environment (in the first three grades) or Nature and society (fourth and fifth grade) in the Republic of Srpska according to the Curriculum for elementary education (2021). The aim of the paper is to examine the differences in experiencing the content of science and their realization in the teaching of nature and society among students of younger grades of elementary school. A survey questionnaire was conducted with 343 students of grades II-V. The Likert-type questionnaire consisted of 13 statements to which the students responded by circling one of the provided answers on a five-point scale - “strongly agree”, “partially agree”, “not sure”, “mostly disagree” and “disagree”. The following research tasks were set: examine the homogeneity of the variance in student answers; perform a one-factor analysis of variance according to the independent variable “class”; examine the existence of statistically significant differences in responses between groups; interpret and analyze the obtained results. The results of the research indicate that the differences appear in favor of second-grade students, who experience the teaching of nature and society more positively, and adopt the material with more enthusiasm, than students of other grades. Classes organized according to some of the active learning models leave a better impression and effect, as found. Enthusiasm for learning declines already in the third grade, but returns with a slightly lower intensity in the fourth and fifth grade. What they all have in common is that they can be used by active learning models, of which ambiental teaching of nature and society, followed by multimedia teaching, stands out. Since through the research we have gained knowledge about the experience of science content and its implementation among students of younger school age, in the next research we should deal with each grade individually, trying to find out what actually happens at the transition from the second to the third grade, and what from the third to in the fourth, or in the fifth, regarding the adoption of the contents of nature and society, with special reference to specific learning models.","PeriodicalId":508513,"journal":{"name":"SCIENCE International Journal","volume":"43 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139180631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The correct application of state aid rules to free trade zones is crucial for several reasons, encompassing legal, economic, and political dimensions. State aid rules help to maintain a level playing field for all market participants. By ensuring that state aid is applied correctly in free trade zones, unfair advantages or disadvantages are minimized, promoting fair competition among businesses. The correct applicability of state aid rules aligns with international trade agreements and standards. It ensures that a region or country is in compliance with broader economic and trade practices which could affect international relations and trade partnerships. Further, State aid rules aim to prevent market distortions that could arise from improper subsidies or aid. By applying these rules correctly in free trade zones, economic efficiency can be better achieved, and resources can be allocated more optimally. Lastly, predictability and legal certainty are essential for investor confidence. When state aid rules are correctly applied, investors have a clearer understanding of the legal and economic environment, which may lead to increased investment and economic growth.One of the most recent case-law of the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) is the ruling of September 21, 2022, in the case T-95/21 concerning the Madeira Free Zone State aid scheme. The ECJ affirmed that the Europeans Commission’s (hereinafter: Commission) conclusion, which stated that the implementation of the Madeira Free Zone State aid scheme (Regime III) did not adhere to the approved conditions, was accurate. The scheme was not implemented according to State aid law, and therefore it must be recovered. The primary objective of the scheme was to enhance the economic development of Madeira through tax incentives. Consequently, the General Court dismissed Portugal’s appeal against the Commission’s decision (KPMG et al., 2022). The authority however, which was involved in granting the State aid, was not only Portugal but also Região Autónoma da Madeira (Autonomous Region of Madeira, Portugal, hereinafter “RAM”) and therefore, it decided to appeal the Commission’s decision, as individual applicant. Same as Portugual, RAM which seeks annulment of Articles 1 and 4 to 6 of Commission Decision (EU) 2022/1414 of 4 December 2020 on the aid scheme SA.21259 (2018/C) (ex 2018/NN) implemented by Portugal in favour of the free zone of Madeira (Zona Franca da Madeira - ZFM) - Scheme III (OJ 2022, L 217, p. 49). Therefore, on June 12, 2023, the General Court was required to render a judgment on the same subject matter as its decision on September 21, 2022 (Case T-131/21 Região Autónoma da Madeira v Commission, 2023). The only distinction is that the current applicant is different from the previous case.","PeriodicalId":508513,"journal":{"name":"SCIENCE International Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139181136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
