paper presents in detail the methods for realization of the basic software infrastructure for the conversion of 3-D animation of Tesla?s laboratory in Long Island to modern stereoscopic 3-D formats. Modeling of Tesla?s lab is done in cooperation with the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade on a project entitled ?Computer Simulation and Modeling of the Original Patents of Nikola Tesla? approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Serbia. In recent years, there has been a revolution in the field of 3-D technology, so it is clear that this will be the strategic direction of the progressing of television, cinema screenings and presentations in the future. Using modern technology for generating and conversion to stereoscopic 3-D format, the authors show in detail the procedure that was used in the realization of this segment of the project. The complete improved 3D developing pipeline from the original photograph to the stereoscopic 3D real-time model is also presented. The novelty in the phase of semi-automatic materialization of the wire models is also described.

The article discusses the meanings of life and value priorities of the post- Soviet society. The author argues that, at present, there are symptoms of a global ideological crisis in the world, that the West does not have its own vision of where and how to move on and has no understanding of the future. Unfortunately, most of the post-Soviet countries do not have such vision as well. In these conditions, there are mistrust, confusion, paradoxical manifestation of human consciousness. The main meanings that determine our life-world are: the desire of citizens for social justice and social security, the desire to figure out and understand the basic values of modern society, how honestly and equally the authorities act toward their fellow citizens, and to what extent they reflect their interests. The meanings of life, which are the answers to the challenges of the time, are embodied in the cultural code of each nation, state. The growth points of new values, which will become the basis for the future sustainable development of a new civilization, have yet to be discovered in the systemic transformative changes of the culture. In this process, the emergence of a new system of values that governs human life is inevitable. However, modern technology brings new troubles to humans. It has provided wide opportunities for informational violence and public consciousness manipulation. Nowadays, the scenario that is implemented in Western consumer societies claims to be the dominant scenario. Meanwhile, today there is no country in the world that is a role model, there is no ideal that others would like to borrow. Most post-Soviet states failed to advance their societies to more decent levels of economic development, to meet the challenges of the modern information age, and to provide the population with new high living standards. Therefore, in conditions of growing confrontation, we should realistically understand the world and be ready to implement changes that will ensure sustainable development of the state and society without losing our national identity.

Abstract Introduction Bedtime Procrastination (BP) is defined as the behavior of voluntarily delaying going to bed, without having external reasons for doing so. Recent research on procrastination behavior suggests that when negative emotions are elevated, procrastination behaviors can be triggered in order to find pleasure to avoid and alleviate them. Procrastination can also occur when there is difficulty regulating emotions. In addition, the reason for bedtime procrastination may be different depending on whether the individuals present with insomnia. According to previous studies, patients with insomnia may exhibit more pronounced negative avoidance of bedtime due to prolonged sleeplessness. Therefore, this study compared the difference between of the bedtime procrastination and the emotional regulation strategies between the insomnia group and the healthy group. Methods This study was conducted in 582 adults (mean age 23.06 ±2.16 years), 81.6% females. Individuals scoring higher than 15 on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were classified into the insomnia group (n=375), and those less than 15 were classified into the healthy group (n=207). Participants completed the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS), Emotional Regulation Strategies Checklist. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi square test, and independent t tests. Results The insomnia group had significantly higher bedtime procrastination scores than the healthy group (t=-6.241, p<.001), and also the avoidant/distractive regulation style score was significantly higher (t=-1.969, p<.05). In addition, the score of active regulation style was significantly lower in the insomnia group than in the healthy group (t=3.050, p<.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the support-seeking regulation style. Conclusion Based on these results, it was confirmed that there was a difference in the bedtime procrastination and the emotional regulation strategies between the insomnia group and the healthy group.

Held in Istanbul between 1916 and 1951, the Galatasaray Exhibitions were the first annual exhibitions of art established in the Ottoman Empire, remaining an important cultural event during the single-party era of the Republic of Turkey, founded in 1923. During the Great War in Europe, when the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers and the citizens of Entente nations left, many vacated spaces in Istanbul opened to new uses. One of these was the Italian Societa Operaia, which became the dormitory for the nearby Lycée de Galatasaray. Beginning in 1916, the main hall of this dormitory was leased every summer for an annual exhibit, which came to be known as the Galatasaray Exhibitions. Works shown at the inaugural exhibit were naturalist paintings, reflecting no awareness of contemporary modernist movements—a situation that later changed with the development of the modern nation-state of Turkey. The exhibit was juried but open to all artists, and visitors were charged admission. Several works at the 1916 exhibit received prizes from the Ministry of Education and were subsequently purchased as part of the Collection of Decorated Panels, established under the auspices of the Imperial Academy of Fine Art, which included copies of many famous European paintings.

South Africa is a multilingual country with 11 official languages. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, provides that every learner may use the official language of his or her choice in any public institution of the country. The Language Policy for Higher Education (Ministry of Education, 2002) requires all South African universities to develop and execute language policies. This chapter focuses on language policy execution by South African universities. The emphasis is on the execution of language policy in relation to the promotion and development of the nine official indigenous languages, namely isiNdebele, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda and Xitsonga.

<p>The Vardar zone divides units of African affinity from units of the European margin. It is characterized by extensional opening of an oceanic domain during the Triassic and Jurassic followed by divergent simultaneous obduction of the oceanic litoshphere over the continental units in the Upper Jurassic. However, a stripe of the oceanic domain persisted till the Cretaceous and Paleogene convergence. The remnants of the last closing part of the Vardar ocean are found in the Sava zone.</p><p>In this paper recently published and new paleomagnetic, AMS results in combination with structural observations will be presented from Upper Cretaceous sediments and Oligocene –Lower Miocene igneous rocks representing the areas bordering the Sava zone from the western and eastern sides, respectively and from the upper Cretaceous flysch deposited in the Sava zone.</p><p>In the areas W and E of the Sava zone, respectively, the primary remanences of the igneous rocks point to post-Oligocene CW rotation of about 30°. The sediments carry secondary magnetizations, imprinted during magmatic activity. Compared to the areas flanking it, the sediments of the Sava zone were intensively folded during the Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene and the paleomagnetic signals, which exhibit smeared distribution close to the present N, are of post-folding age. The AMS foliation and bedding planes are sub-parallel, thus the deformation must have been weak. Fold axes and AMS lineations are roughly N-S oriented, pointing to the deformational origin of the AMS lineations. These observations form the Sava zone will be discussed in the context of the post-Oligocene CW rotation of the flanking areas and the general NE-SW orientation of the compressional stress field outside of the zone.</p><p>Acknowledgement.

<p>In this work we analyse variations in VLF/LF radio signal amplitudes recorded by the INFREP network in the period 16 November – 6 December, 2019 characterized by very intensive seismic activities in the Balkan peninsula, Crete, and Adriatic, Aegean and Black seas. Namely, 38 earthquakes with magnitude greater than 4.0 occurred in this area during the noticed period; the most intensive of them occurred on 26 and 27 November: three events in Albania (M<sub>w</sub>= 6.4, 5.3, 5.1), one in Crete (M<sub>w</sub>= 6), one in Bosnia and Herzegovina (M<sub>w</sub>= 5.4) and two in Adriatic sea (M<sub>w</sub>= 5.4, 5.3). We study both long- and short- term variations that are already recorded in earlier studies. The long-term variations relate to changes in the amplitude intensities in periods of several days and their existence is shown in many previous studies. The recent analyses also indicate short-term variations in signal amplitude noises started about several tents of minutes before the earthquake (Nina et al. 2020). In this work, we analyse different areas using INFREP network, which allow us to study local changes in the atmosphere. In order to examine possible precursors we considered longer time started and ended 10 days before and after the most intensive of the considered earthquakes, respectively.</p><p>This research is supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, under the projects 176002 and III44002.</p><p>References</p><p>Nina, A., S.
