DOES PECTIN METHYLATION MODULATE ITS ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL? INSIGHTS FROM MOLECULAR DOCKING
Pectin is widely studied due to its favorable physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and non-toxic nature. Methylation of pectin represents a natural structural modification occurring within plant cell walls and is considered part of the defense mechanism against microbial pathogens. In this study, molecular docking analysis was performed t...

ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME
The authors examine the concept of environmental crime from both legal and philosophical perspectives, emphasizing that such a dual approach is necessary for its proper understanding. A purely normative definition, they argue, cannot fully capture the broader social and ethical dimensions of this complex phenomenon. By combining these perspectives,...

APPLYING THE BEHAVIOR CHANGE TECHNIQUES FOR MODERNIZING HEALTHCARE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL
Behavior change techniques (BCTs) represent a pivotal yet often overlooked component in the national-scale modernization of healthcare systems, particularly in resource-constrained settings where infrastructural upgrades alone are insufficient to improve clinical outcomes. The Integrated Perinatal Care Project in Uzbekistan provides a compelling ca...

A NOVEL INAR(1) MODEL WITH TWO LATENT MARKOV PROCESSES FOR REGIME AND DISTRIBUTION PARAMETER CONTROL
The authors propose a new model for count time series based on a hybrid structure that combines an autoregressive component with an innovation-driven component, where regime selection at each time point is governed by a latent Markov process. The key novelty of the model is the introduction of an additional, independent latent process that dynamica...

CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: FIRST STEPS IN DEVELOPING WASTE‑TO‑RESOURCE VALUE CHAINS
This paper explores the development of the circular economy in Bosnia and Herzegovina by analysing the first concrete steps away from a linear, landfill‑dependent model and towards more resource‑efficient waste and material management. It builds on a comprehensive study of waste management systems, secondary raw materials and investment opportuniti...

CLIMATE SHOCKS AND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISK IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: CASE STUDY OF NIGERIA
Real estate sector is one of the most lucrative and fastest-growing investments in Nigeria, apart from the oil sector. It employed about 42% of the labour force and contributed significantly to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the country. However, the sector has been experiencing disruption from the effect of climate shocks. Climate change has ...

AUTOMATA AS COALGEBRAS IN CATEGORY OF MATRICES
This paper considers automata as models of systems used for information processing and computational execution. Special attention is devoted to the coalgebraic approach and the category of matrices as modern methods for the formal description of dynamic and state-based systems. By viewing automata as coalgebras, it becomes possible to model system ...

APPLICATION OF BENCHMARKING AS PART OF THE RE-ENGINEERING PROCESS IN A THERMAL POWER PLANT UGLJEVIK
Business Process Reengineering (BPR) represents a new business concept or philosophy that emerged in the 1990s. The central focus of reengineering philosophy is on processes, referring to process design. The reengineering revolution had two main themes: the first was organizing around processes, and the second was organizing processes in a superior...
