Abstract:The authors provide guidelines, based on an extensive review of the international literature, for conducting, interpreting, and reporting primary and secondary research on children who are deaf and hard of hearing in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The purpose of the review is to present arguments in support of conceptualizing education and rehabilitation, to explore the educational implications of such conceptualizations, and to suggest directions for future inquiry. Problematic areas are covered, such as research on the structure of a signed language, the use of information technology, inclusion, vocational and professional orientation, and motoric abilities and skills. The article concludes with recommendations for further investigating the educational achievement of students who are deaf and hard of hearing so as to improve educational practice.

<p>Rad se bavi karakterističnim jezičkim i stilskim osobenostima sevdalinke. Sevdalinke koje su u ovom radu analizirane su prikupljene u Antologiji bo&scaron;njačke usmene lirike Muniba Maglajlića. Jezik sevdalinke se proučava na fonetsko-fonolo&scaron;kom, morfolo&scaron;kom, sintaksičkom i semantičkom nivou. Sevdalinkom je iskazana narodnost jer ona u narodu nastaje, ali u narodu i obitava. Također su nagla&scaron;ene senzualnost i životna/ljudska tragičnost. Ipak, njena najvažnija zadaća je izražavanje i preno&scaron;enje emocija, osjećanja koja su suvi&scaron;e kompleksna da bi bila iskazana običnim razgovornim stilom. Jezik sevdalinke je narodni jezik, jezik vremena u kome je sevdalinka nastajala. Međutim, gledano iz savremene jezičke perspektive, za njega se kaže da je arhaizirani jezički izraz.</p>

<p>Compounding in English is a complex linguistic phenomenon.Analyses of compounds can be quite demanding as it is sometimes necessary to analyze word classes comprising compounds in order to distinguish between composite nominals and compound nouns. Due to the complexity of their form, it may be rather difficult to interpret their meaning appropriately, especially in the absence of proper contextual clues. The present paper investigates the frequency and types of compounds in a selection of texts in economics collected from the 1995 and 2015 journal volumes. The analysis includesfrequency data and comparisons between different types of compounds used in the two-decade period. The results show that the frequency of compounds in economic texts has increased, along with their complexity. The most frequent type were the nominal compounds,neoclassical being the least used.</p>

U radu je prikazana morfološka varijabilnost ploda 25 populacija javora klena (Acer campestre L.) na području Bosne i Hercegovine. Morfometrijsko istraživanje unutari među-populacijske varijabilnosti provedeno je na temelju 10 morfoloških značajki ploda, pri čemu su korištene deskriptivne i univarijatne statističke analize. Provedenim istraživanjem najmanje varijabilnim značajkama pokazale su se varijable koje opisuju oblik ploda, sa najmanjom varijabilnošću kod značajke odnos širine i dužine sjemenke. Za razliku od toga, za mjerene značajke ploda utvrđeni su viši koeficijenti varijacije. Najvarijabilnija značajka ploda u javora klena bila je dužina stapčice ploda. Najdivergentnije populacije obuhvaćene ovim istraživanjem bile su populacija Trebinje i populacija Rogatica. Za populaciju Trebinje utvrđene su minimalne srednje vrijednosti za pet od devet analiziranih značajki ploda, a za populaciju Rogatica maksimalne srednje vrijednosti za pet od devet analiziranih značajki. Analizom varijance ustanovljene su statistički značajne razlike između populacija za sve analizirane značajke. Isto tako, istraživanjem je utvrđeno da je unutarpopulacijska varijabilnost veća od međupopulacijske varijabilnosti za većinu istraživanih značajki. Odstupanje od tog pravila pokazuje varijabla F4 (dužina krilca ploda bez sjemenke) gdje komponenta varijance na međupopulacijskoj i unutarpopulacijskoj razini zauzima podjednak udio u ukupnoj varijanci. Provedena istraživanja morfološke varijabilnosti ploda javora klena u Bosni i Hercegovini predstavljaju pionirska istraživanja ove vrste, a dobiveni rezultati, temeljeni na morfometrijskoj analizi morfoloških značajki plodova, mogu poslužiti kao temelj za daljnja istraživanja.

excellent resistance to hard water, and is suitable with various kinds of surfactants. Mixing anionic and cationic surfactants is not recommended. The aim of this paper is to show the influence of individual surfactants and their mixtures on the final properties of liquid soaps as well as the antimicrobial activity of surfactants and the advantages of biosurfactants. The highest antimicrobial activity is reported for surfactants containing 10-14 carbon atoms in their chain. The toxicity of cationic surfactants is the highest, then follow anionic and the last one is nonionic. Biosurfactants show the same functionality as the chemical synthetized surfactants, but biosurfactants are more environmentally friendly, with lower toxicity and biodegradable ability.

Galvanic coatings are applied so that the surface of the base material obtains appropriate properties, corrosion resistance, durability, aesthetic appearance, and long-term application in the appropriate industry. In this paper, the aim was to protect steel fuel filters with alkaline and acid zinc coatings of different thicknesses. The coating of zinc, which is applied from the alkaline electrolyte, provides good corrosion protection with excellent coating flexibility. The thickness of the coating by the X-ray fluorescence method was tested, followed by coating tests, corrosion resistance, and electrochemical tests. The results of adhesion showed a high quality coating, as no corrosion occurred during the test. The corrosion resistance tested by the salt chamber method speaks of the appearance of white and red corrosion. On alkaline electrolyte coatings, white corrosion occurred after 168 hours of exposure to the salt test, while on white zinc samples there was a white corrosion after 240 hours of exposure. Tafel polarization diagrams have been determined: corrosion potentials, current intensities, anode and cathode Tafel coefficients and calculated corrosion rates. The active and passive corrosion zone is determined by the cyclic voltammetry.

In this paper, within the framework of morphostructural features, relationship between relief and geological structure in the river basin of Solina (north-eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina) is analyzed. Main goal of this study is to investigate causal relationship between complex geological characteristics of the terrain and genesis, morphological evolution and differentiation of three relief units in the river basin of Solina. Relief of river basin of Solina is predominantly non-conformal, tectonically predisposed; its structure is dominated by Cretaceous - Paleogene clastites. In this paper are applied modern geomorphological-geological methods, field work, analysis of topographic and geological maps, as well as satellite images of the studied area. Presentation of data has been realized in the Geographic Information System, and the geospatial data were geo-visualized on two thematic maps.

In the study, the development of physiotherapy was described through the history and education in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) with a special review on the significance of physiotherapy as a health-care discipline and the display of its development to the academic level of education in BiH.

Ozljede na radu i profesionalne bolesti radnika pouzdan su indikator procjene stanja sigurnosti pri radu. Osnovni je cilj ovoga rada odgovarajuća analiza stanja sigurnosti pri radu u Javnom poduzeću Šumsko-privredno društvo Zeničko-dobojskoga kantona d.o.o. Zavidovići. Predmet su analize bile ozljede na radu, profesionalne i druge bolesti šumarskih radnika u razdoblju od 2006. do 2015. godine. Ozljede su analizirane prema deset pokazatelja. U analiziranom razdoblju zabilježene su 594 ozljede na radu, od čega tri smrtna slučaja. Najviše ozljeda dogodilo se neposrednim izvršiteljima radnih operacija pridobivanja drva (66,3 %), a najrizičnija je profesija sjekač (57,7 %).

Najveći broj ozljeda zabilježen je početkom radnoga tjedna i dana. Na osnovi broja ozljeda po obujmu izrađenoga drva (314/mil. m3) te indeksa od 60 ozljeda na 1000 zaposlenika stanje sigurnosti pri radu može se ocijeniti kao iznimno nezadovoljavajuće.

Offering an efficient healthcare system is one of the main focuses of economic development for every country in the world, including Croatia, in order to achieve a better quality of life and healthcare protection. As a result, there is also a higher standard of living for the citizens. The healthcare system in Croatia has undergone a number of reforms. For each of the implemented reforms, the objective was to optimize the healthcare system in line with the government’s budget to achieve sustainability in the long run. Therefore, the healthcare financing system and sustainability play an important role. The objective of this paper is to evaluate and analyze the efficiency of average healthcare expenditures in twenty Croatian counties by applying the data envelopment analysis approach. The analysis was conducted for the 2010-2017 period. To assess the performance of the counties, we used three inputs and three outputs. The results revealed significant differences in the efficiency of healthcare expenditures among the Croatian counties. Therefore, the results of scale efficiency showed that, among the twenty Croatian counties, only six counties (Brod-Posavina, Koprivnica-Križevci, Lika-Senj, Međimurje, Vukovar-Srijem and Zagreb) operate at the maximum score.

The main objective of this research is to measure the efficiency of commercial banks operating in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period 2016-2017. An analysis is conducted of over 12 banks that had positive overall profit lost at the end of 2016 and 2017 years published by the Banking Agency of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method with two input and three output parameters is used for efficiency measurement. Each bank’s efficiency is presented for the 2016 and 2017 years. For an observed period, large banks showed more efficiency than small banks. Based on the results shown in this research and features used in this model there is a significant difference in the relative efficiency of the top two banks and the rest of the 10 banks.

Vertebral artery fenestration is a rare vascular anomaly. It most commonly occurs in extracranial segments of the vertebral artery. This congenital anomaly can occur during the various stages of embryonic development of the vertebral artery. This usually does not have clinical significance, but the possibility of associated anomalies such as saccular aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations should be noted. Awareness of vascular anomalies is key to avoiding iatrogenic injury during endovascular diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Here, we present incidental findings of vertebral artery fenestration in a 46-year-old woman evidenced by CT angiography of the neck's blood vessells after I .V. contrast medium applications.
