Path Analysis of Morphological Traits on Weight Traits of Breeding Mya japonica by Xiaoyan XU, Meirong DU, Tinghao WANG, Zengjie JIANG

“…Shell width and height had the greatest degree of co-determination for total, soft, and gonadal wet weights, with values of 32.88%, 24.93%, and 21.34%, respectively. Using the multiple regression analysis method, the optimal regression equation of shell size trait to weight trait was established as Y1=0.295X1+ 1.73X2+1.128X3–72.554, R2=0.954; Y2=0.117X1+0.56X2+0.219X3–19.240, R2=0.927; Y3=0.055X1+ 0.362X2+0.082X3–9.402, R2=0.891. …”

Geopolitical (non) opportunities vs. "late" response of the foreign political service of North Macedonia in the process of European integration by Jelisavac-Trošić Sanja, Arnaudov Mitko

“…Another significant moment that was missed in the European integration process of Skopje, covers the period from 2006 to 2017 with two stages: the period leading up to the NATO Summit in Bucharest in 2008 and the period after this summit, up to the change of power of former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, which has led to a multiple crisis within that country. The postponement of North Macedonia's accession to NATO in 2008, due to Greece's express refusal, with a focus on connecting the Macedonian nation with the heritage of the ancient Macedonians, with the simultaneous suspension of democratic capacities and principles that represent significant determinants in the process of joining the European Union, leads to missing out and moving away from the path accelerated European integration of North Macedonia. …”
