Abstract This paper presents the findings of a study on digital maturity in higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Empirical research was conducted in 2020. Teachers from eight public higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina were included in the sample. The findings revealed that digital transformation has been ongoing in these institutions for some time, that some results have been achieved, but that digital maturity has not yet been attained. The findings also revealed barriers that must be overcome in order to accelerate digitalization and reap the anticipated benefits.

Background: The aim of this study was to show the frequency and epidemiological characteristics of pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during childbirth as well as the course, mode and outcome of their newborn treatment and diet after discharge. The aim is also to show individual symptoms developed by newborn from pregnant women who test positive for SARS-CoV-2. Method: The study included all the infants born to the pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on a PCR test 24 hours prior to delivery or, had already been confirmed positive for the infection and had developed symptoms of the virus or had started treatment for SARS-CoV-2 several days prior to delivery. Results: 43/3237 (1.32%) of the pregnant women tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus or had been infected prior to admission and were positive during delivery. A total of 45 newborn infants were transferred to a special room for the care of newborn infants born to SARS-CoV-2-positive mothers at the Department of Neonatology. Specifically, 30/45 (66.7%) of the newborn infants developed symptoms within the first hours of birth which withdrew spontaneously within 24–48 hours after birth. The symptoms referred to are not specific forSARS-CoV-2 infection and are not particularly indicative of infection. Conclusions: The conclusion of this short 21-month study is that prenatal and postnatal duration and outcome in infants is not aggravated by pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Despite the individual symptoms described above and the pathological states the children developed during hospitalization, all the newborn infants were discharged from hospital in full health, and they were all breastfeeding following discharge in conditions which respected all the epidemiological preventive measures.

Electronic word of mouth is a more recent form of word of mouth used by internet users who share and benefit from worldwide information. Online reviews are a very important source of information for tourists. They represent a more modern and a more reliable source of information in decision making process when compared with the content published by the foreign travel agencies. Previous research has shown that the online reviews on websites specialized for hotel ratings made a significant impact on the total number of hotel reservations. The majority of tourists find online reviews very useful and more than half of them will not make a hotel reservation if a hotel has no reviews. Since the private accommodation is quantitatively the most significant accommodation type in Croatia, the goal of this paper is to analyze the impact of electronic word of mouth on the tourist selection of private accommodation for holidays.

The mail goal of this paper is to research usefulness and satisfaction with the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system from the end users' point of view in companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The research was conducted using a questionnaire, prepared on the findings from the literature. The data were statistically analysed in accordance with the research objectives. The results show that there is a significant difference in user satisfaction with ERP regard to numbers of modules in ERP. Research shows that end users in participated companies are relatively satisfied with their ERP solutions and consider them useful for business, but improvements are still possible.

The global pandemic of the virus COVID-19 dramatically has impacted Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and worldwide. HEIs were forced to switch overnight to online lectures and exams without almost any teachers' and students' preparation and education. After one year of online classes at the University of Mostar (SUM), whether that kind of teaching impacts creativity. In order to find the answer to the research question, the authors used a questionnaire they developed and applied in 2015 to investigate students' perceptions about creativity at the University of Mostar. The research presented in this paper is limited to SUM students who have had online classes since March 2020. The primary research goal is to investigate whether there are any significant changes in students' perceptions of creativity compared to research from 2015. Namely, the authors investigate whether the enhanced use of IT and online platforms (Google Meet, SUMARUM – the University of Mostar’s variant of Moodle) affected students' creativity.

This paper presents the research results on digital maturity in higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Empirical research was conducted among employees of eight public higher education institutions in spring 2020. Digital maturity was examined through seven dimensions. The results show that higher education institutions in BiH started the digitalization process more than five years ago. They have been continuously working on the digitalization of all business processes and activities. According to employees, on a scale from 1 to 5, digitalization of their higher education institutions is somewhere in the middle (between 3 and 4). The institutions have room for improvement in all dimensions. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

OBJECTIVE Orthodontic anomalies with impaired facial aesthetics and disturbed oral functions have a major effect on emotional and social development. It is necessary to determine the degree of acceptance of treatment. This study includes an evaluation of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) according to the Aesthetic Component (AC) of dental health in schoolchildren. METHODS The research included 300 schoolchildren (150 girls, 150 boys) with an age range from 12 to 15 years. An evaluation of the need for orthodontic treatment according to the AC consisted of a ten-grade scale illustrated with a sequence of ten intraoral photographs showing different degrees of acceptability of dental appearance. Results were expressed as absolute and relative frequencies. The Chi-square test (in the absence of the expected frequencies of Fisher's Exact test) was used for testing the significance of differences. Cohen's kappa statistic measure was used for measuring the agreement between the children and dentists. RESULTS There is a significant substantial agreement between children and dentists in assessing the need for orthodontic treatment. Differences in assessment of the degree of orthodontic anomalies by the doctor of dental medicine with respect to boys and girls, are negligible, and statistical analysis did not show any significant difference. Analysis of the need for orthodontic treatment with respect to the age of the children showed a significant difference. CONCLUSION The need for orthodontic treatment is more pronounced in older children, and there is no difference between boys and girl.

In modern business conditions, human resources have become the most important resource of enterprises, and many authors point out that this is especially true for SMEs, in which, due to their specificity, human resources create a competitive advantage of the company and affect its survival and development. SMEs are faced with a strong, global competition of large enterprises and in order to survive and grow in the market, they must find specific strengths within themselves, develop and use them. Creativity is one of the most powerful tools that enable SMEs competitiveness, survival and development in the market. The basic objective of this research is to determine whether there is a correlation between recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in SMEs. The survey was conducted in SMEs in the Federation of B&H in 2019. An original questionnaire was created for the research, which collected the opinion of top managers on the recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in small and medium-sized enterprises. Data have been analysed using IBM SPSS Statistic 25.0. From the statistical procedures, the following were used: Shapiro-Wilk's test, Pearson's coefficient of correlation, Mann-Whitney U test and t-test for independent samples. The results of the survey showed that there is a correlation between the recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in SMEs and that there are differences in the correlation between the recruitment and selection of human resources and organizational creativity in the enterprises in terms of their size.
