Purpose – Service employees play a crucial role in creating and sustaining the reputation of service fi rms. Their attitudes and commitment to the fi rm are refl ected in customers’ perceptions of quality and loyalty, which ultimately improve corporate performance. The aim of this study is to better understand what contributes to raising frontline employees’ awareness of their role in building and sustaining the corporate reputation of service fi rms. Design/methodology/approach – We adapt Helm’s (2011) conceptual framework based on a work-related social identity theory and test the adapted model through an empirical study on 544 service fi rms’ frontline employees. Findings – Our fi ndings show that job satisfaction of frontline employees is a signifi cant determinant of their reputation impact awareness, as well as a mediator of Sažetak Svrha – Zaposlenici uslužnih poduzeća imaju ključnu ulogu u stvaranju i održavanju reputacije poduzeća. Stavovi zaposlenih i njihova posvećenost poduzeću odražavaju se u percepcijama korisnika o kvaliteti usluge i lojalnosti, što u konačnici unapređuje performanse poduzeća. Svrha rada jest bolje razumjeti što doprinosi podizanju svijesti kontaktnoga osoblja uslužnih poduzeća o njihovoj ulozi u izgradnji i održavanju korporativne reputacije. Metodološki pristup – Prilagođen je konceptualni okvir koji je razvila Helm (2011), a koji je temeljen na teoriji društvenog identiteta vezanoga uz posao. Prilagođeni je model empirijski testiran na uzorku 544 zaposlenika kontaktne osobe iz uslužnih poduzeća. Rezultati i implikacije – Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je zadovoljstvo poslom kontaktnog osoblja značajna odrednica njihove svjesnosti o utjecaju reputacije, kao i Market-Tržište Vol. 31, No. 2, 2019, pp. 171-185 UDK 331.101.32:316.64/.65:658:005.336.6 DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.22598/mt/2019.31.2.171 Original scientifi c paper Vesna Babić-Hodović, Maja Arslanagić-Kalajdžić 172 Vo l. 31 , N o. 2 , 2 01 9, p p. 1 71 -1 85 the eff ects that pride and perceived corporate reputation have on corporate reputation impact awareness. Limitations – Possible existence of other dimensions of perceived corporate reputation, when it comes to internal stakeholders – the employees, present a limitation of this study and should certainly be considered in future research. Originality/value – We compare and contrast our fi ndings with previous studies and shed more light on internal marketing possibilities targeted towards frontline employees.

Article Details: Received: 2019-09-03 | Accepted: 2019-10-14 | Available online: 2019-12-31 https://doi.org/10.15414/afz.2019.22.04.138-143 The aim of the study was to determine the growth characteristics of three rabbit breeds (Czech Solver, CSo, n = 11; Czech Spotted, CS, n = 28; Blanc de Hotot, BH, n = 24) under small-scaled stock conditions as a basis for their potential meat performance. The body morphometric characteristics live weight (LW), head length (HL), body length (BL), ear length, thoracic circumference (TC) and body compact index TC/BL were recorded in growing rabbits from 21st to 91st day of their age. At the end of the trial, the highest LW value was recorded in the BH breed (2,700.0 g) as compared to the CSo and CS breeds, respectively (1,887.5 and 1,545.4 g). The values of the HL were significantly affected by a rabbit breed up to the 63rd day of their age (P <0.01). The highest values of BL and TC were found in the BH breed as compared to the CSo breed and also the CS breed (P <0.01). The BH breed showed also the longest ears (P <0.01) while the different dynamics of the ear growth among the evaluated breeds was found. Concerning the body compact index TC/BL, the growing rabbits of the BH breed showed wider body given by their musculature proportion as compared to the representatives of the CSo and CS breeds (P <0.01). Our findings suggest that the Blanc de Hotot breed possesses suitable growth and morphometric characteristics for intended meat production. References BLASCO, A. and OUHAYOUN, J.

Abstract Objective The Lichtenstein mesh technique is recommended as the standard surgical procedure for inguinal hernias. Shouldice is the best non-mesh technique. However, there are reports that the transinguinal preperitoneal technique (TIPP), which uses a preperitoneal mesh, has potential advantages in relation to the Lichtenstein and the Shouldice techniques. Patients and methods Three hundred patients with inguinal hernias were randomized into three groups of hundred patients each: Group 1 whose inguinal hernia repair was performed using the Lichtenstein technique; Group 2 using the Shouldice technique; and Group 3 using TIPP. The parameters for monitoring were: length of operation, blood loss, length of hospitalization, length of incision, post-operative pain, and the patient's satisfaction level. Results The visual analog scale (VAS) score after 6, 12, 24 and 48 h, and 14 d was lower in TIPP than the Lichtenstein and Shouldice groups (p < .0001). The satisfaction level was higher in TIPP than in the Lichtenstein and Shouldice groups (p < .0001). Conclusions TIPP technique has advantages in comparison with the Lichtenstein and Shouldice techniques. This method takes a shorter time, the skin incision is smaller, the VAS score is lower and the patient satisfaction level is higher. These advantages are in balance with the higher costs of this procedure.

Understanding learners’ epistemological beliefs as one of the core segments underlying one’s learning experience is of cardinal importance both from the point of conveying as well as acquiring new knowledge. In English language teaching studying language learning beliefs has aroused a widespread research interest, with its genesis found in the seminal paper by Horwitz (1987), whose instrument (BALLI) was employed to collect the data in the present paper. In the under-researched context of Bosnia and Herzegovina the current study explores language learning beliefs of 233 elementary school and university students, taking into account the main and interaction effect of three factors: gender, grade and educational level. Through ANOVA and MANOVA statistical analyses, the results revealed an insignificant main effect of gender and grade on the BALLI while the latter significantly affected one of the subscales. Conversely, educational level demonstrated a significant main effect on both the BALLI and one subscale. Most importantly, the study showed interesting interplay of the three factors on the shaping of learners’ stances. These findings bring a significant realization of the complexity of the beliefs as well as their ever-changing nature with relevant pedagogical implications for the field of second language acquisition.

RESTful APIs are an increasingly common way to expose software systems functionality and it is therefore of high interest to find methods to automatically test and verify such APIs. To lower the barrier for industry adoption, such methods need to be straightforward to use with a low effort. This paper introduces a method to explore the behaviour of a RESTful API. This is done by using automatic property-based tests produced from OpenAPI documents that describe the REST API under test. We describe how this method creates artifacts that can be leveraged both as property-based test generators and as a source of validation for results (i.e., as test oracles). Experimental results, on both industrial and open source services, indicate how this approach is a low effort way of finding real faults. Furthermore, it supports building additional knowledge about the system under test by automatically exposing misalignment of specification and implementation. Since the tests are generated from the OpenAPI document this method automatically evolves test cases as the REST API evolves.

The process of accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the EU implies the introduction of EU standards on Private International Law into its internal legislation. This paper includes considerations related to the ways of implementation of the reform of private international law, having in mind the complex constitutional structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially the division of competencies between the State and its entities. Bearing in mind the complexity of the decision-making process of different levels and the inability to reach political consensus on the reform, the article emphasises alternative mechanisms for introducing EU standards in the field of private international law into the legal system in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Given the external competence of the EU in its relations with third countries, this article gives a thorough analysis of the possibility of concluding international agreements in the field of private international law.

Bentonite is an industrial material that has a significant role in solving engineering problems. It's dominant component is montmorillonite which makes at least 80% of it's composition. Among the various types, sodium is the most commonly used as an essential part of the composition of bentonite granules. It's characteristics, such as high swelling ability, the properties of thixotropy (in a mixture with water it transfer into the gel), and high water absorption capacity (it can absorb 12 to 15 times the mass of water from the dry substance itself) give it a great advantage in geotechnical works as waterproofing material. This paper presents an application of bentonite carpets as an isolation agent in the reconstruction of the wine basement and the construction of the Roxanich Heritage Wine Hotel in Motovun, with a more extensive description of the bentonite membrane characteristics, in general. Bentonite carpet consist of bentonite membrane in between two layers of geotextile, all bonded by thick stitching. Waterproofing system, used for Roxanich Heritage Wine Hotel, completes with tapes Waterstops RX 101, bentonite granules, bentonite Bentoseal paste and polymeric waterproofing. This system was used throughout the basement extending to five underground floors. It was proved to be an effective waterproofing solution, appropriately engineered for it's operation in difficult ground conditions. This paper presents the results of additional laboratory testing of materials - granulometry and permeability. They fully confirmed the waterproofing applied.

This study aims to clarify the relation between technological innovation and business model innovation and their shared impact on the business success of medium and large enterprises. Drawing on the ResourceBased View, this paper offers a comprehensive research model that analyses the relationships between technological innovation and business model innovations and their impact on business success. Structural Equation Modelling is utilized for the analysis of a dataset collected in a Southeast European developing country among medium and large enterprises. The results show that technological innovation has a positive influence on business model innovation and that business model innovation positively impacts the success of a business. Finally, the results confirm the mediating role of business model innovation between technological innovation and company business success. This research adds to the existing literature by empirically investigating the relationship between technological innovation, business model innovation, and company success identifying an antecedent role in the relationship between technological innovation and business model innovation.

Introduction : Steady progress in intensive treatment worldwide has increased the survival of immature neonates, but with multiple invasive procedures, which has increased the risk of infection and, consequently, fungal sepsis. Candida is the dominant cause, with the rise of resistant non-albicans species. The mortality rate is high and requires timely suspicion and adequate treatment to counteract fatal outcomes. Objectives: To analyze the clinical and laboratory characteristics of Candida sepsis, compared to bacterial sepsis, in neonates treated in the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted at the Intensive care unit of Pediatric Clinic Tuzla over a three-year period (2016-2018) analyzed the clinical and laboratory characteristics of neonates with Candida sepsis, evidenced by positive blood culture. The control group was neonates treated at the same time for proven bacterial sepsis. Statistical analysis applied standard methods, and the research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the institution. Results: Out of the total 921 neonates treated over a three-year period, culture-confirmed Candida sepsis was found in 48 (5.2%). Prematurity and low birth weight were the most significant risk factors and affected neonates had a more difficult clinical presentation, more receiving parenteral nutrition, mechanical ventilation, intravenous gamma globulin, and longer intensive treatment. Candida sepsis manifested mainly as late-onset. Laboratory abnormalities mainly included CRP elevation, anemia, leukocyte count deviations, and thrombocytopenia. There was no difference in mortality, 44 neonates recovered (91.7%), while 4 (8.3%) died. Antifungal therapy lasted 20.6 ± 6 days, and intensive treatment 38.2 ± 23.2 days, and was significantly longer compared to the control. All isolates were Candida species without in vitro resistance. In 8 neonates (16.7%) treatment complications were recorded. Conclusions: Neonatal Candida sepsis endangers life, complicates treatment, increases costs and mortality rate. Recovery depends on timely suspicion, adequate treatment, and supervision. Antifungal susceptibility is also important and requires monitoring of local epidemiological dynamics.
