Error correction in quantum cryptography based on artificial neural networks is a new and promising solution. In this paper the security verification of this method is discussed and results of many simulations with different parameters are presented. The test scenarios assumed partially synchronized neural networks, typical for error rates in quantum cryptography. The results were also compared with scenarios based on the neural networks with random chosen weights to show the difficulty of passive attacks.

Distribution companies use complex software systems called WMS (Warehouse Management System). The WMS is an important part of the company’s business and it can make processes simple to keep track of. Smart WMS optimizes processes to save resources and to create a more efficient working place. This paper describes the concept of a smart WMS that is implemented in one of the largest distribution companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The system uses artificial intelligence and optimization algorithms to improve working process. The paper describes the complete warehouse workflow that includes stock planning, initial product placement, transfer from stock to pick zone, order picking process, transport and tracking. The anomaly detection is used in some processes to improve the whole system. The main contribution of this paper is the presentation of an efficient and in the real world used smart WMS concept.

Two important problems distribution companies face on a daily basis are the routing and tracking of a vehicle fleet. The former is being overcome by solving the famous vehicle routing problem (VRP), a generalization of the traveling salesman problem (TSP), and the later analyses GPS data to get information of the moving vehicles. In this paper a system which uses GPS data to track the vehicles, analyze their routes and improve input data needed for the algorithm for the vehicle routing problem is described. In a real-world scenario, implementing an VRP algorithm is not enough. Algorithms which analyze GPS data ensure that the VRP algorithm takes correct input data and that the driven routes are those that the algorithm proposed.

In this paper, we present our recent studies on pilot allocation and interference coordination for heterogeneous networks (HetNets) using massive multi-input-multi-output (mMIMO) technology in time division duplex (TDD) mode, where the macro-cell base station (MBS) and overlaid small-cell base stations (SBSs) share the same time-frequency resources, and thus co-tier and cross-tier interferences occur. We investigate how to coordinate such undesirable interference for maximizing the system sum-rate under required constraints. As the first approach, we present an uplink pilot allocation scheme to enhance the downlink system sum-rate by coordinating downlink cross-tier interference to small-cell users (SUs) based on the estimated uplink channel state information. In this approach, we study the optimum pilot allocation against the trade-off between two degradation factors, i.e., uplink pilot overhead and downlink cross-tier interference. As the second approach, we present a dynamic SBS clustering scheme to mitigate dominant co-tier interference among small cells (SCs), where the SBS clustering is carried out based on potential mutual co-tier interference strength between two SCs. We also consider the SBS precoder design in each cluster to further improve the downlink sum rate of SCs under SBS power constraint. Simulation results show that our proposals are useful approaches to enhance the sum rate performance in TDD-mMIMO-HetNets.

Introduction: Austro-Hungarian monarchy had great impact on healthcare system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), and consequences of that exist today. Aim: To launch of the section „The Most Influential Physicians in the Development of Health Care in Bosnia and Herzegovina“, in which, within next issues of the Medical Archives will be presented the prominent physicians, dentists and pharmacists who gave contribution to development of healthcare system in B&H. Results: This paper provides a full overview from the literature about health care circumstances during 150 years in Bosnia and Herzegovina and important of the role health care institutions and of all the doctors working in B&H during the Austro-Hungarian administration. To some of them is devoted more attention in the texts about their life and work and their contribution to the development of the health service in B&H. Also, author gave description of the others, except for the medical activities who have contributed to our homeland, such as Dr. Jozef Kecet, Dr. Julije Makanec, Dr. Teodora Krajewska, Dr. Josef von Preindlsberger, Dr. Hamdija Karamehmedovic and others, but there are many more that we should know about and mention them. Conclusion: The fact is Austro-Hungarian model of healthcare system in that time was functional for that period and great improvement in comparison to past and the fact is that that system represents a basis even for modern medicine in territory of B&H.

Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) and (high) Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) are well-known major drawbacks of the Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal. So, in many practical situations, specifically with LTE-Advanced downlink introducing carrier aggregation, estimation of PAPR and CFO-induced OFDM symbol phase deviation is of interest. However, this demands complex test equipment, such as e.g. Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA), which might not be always and everywhere available. Therefore, we applied the link abstraction principle on the residual BER that is considered to be determined just by the CFO-caused phase deviation, i.e. as if the channel is noiseless and time-dispersion-free (so that evident errors occur just due to actual CFO). Moreover, as recently it has been shown that the phase deviation is linear with the instantaneous (per-OFDM-symbol) PAPR, we develop a simple model for analytical estimating of BER-based CFO, considering the easy-to-measure BER degradation as resulting just from the according additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) power level, which abstracts the CFO distortion. The proposed analytical model is validated by according Monte-Carlo simulations.

Introduction: Cardiovascular complications in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage are considered to be a neurally mediated process rather than a manifestation of coronary artery disease. Aim: The aim of study is to show the incidence and type cardiac complications after traumatic and spontaneous SAH. Patients and methods: The study had prospective character in which included 104 patients, with diagnosed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), in the period from 2014 to 2017. Two groups of patients were formed. Group I: patients with SAH caused by the rupture of a brain aneurysm. Group II: patients with SAH after traumatic brain injury. Results: Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities was predominant after traumatic brain injury 74 %, with statistically significant difference atrial fibrillation 42.5 % (p = 0.043) and sinus bradycardia 31.4 % (p = 0.05). Hypertension are predominant in patients with spontaneous SAH with statistically significant difference (15 (27.7%) vs 36 (72%) p=0.034) and hypotension in group II (10 (18.5%) vs 2 (4%) p = 0.021 ) with traumatic SAH patients. The time in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for traumatic SAH group was 6.1 ± 5.2 days and 3.9 ± 1.16 for spontaneous SAH group with statistical significance (p = 0.046). Respiratory support time was longer in traumatic SAH group (39.4 ± 23.44 vs. 15.66 ± 22.78) with p = 0.043. Conclusion: Cardiac dysfunction in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage are considered to be a neurally mediated process rather than a manifestation of coronary artery disease. Early treatment of cerebral injury could be reduce incidence of cardiac complications after traumatic brain injury. Cardiac dysfunction in patients with SAH is still very high, despite substantial qualitative progress in their treatment.

Introduction: Malignant breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women between 40 and 55 years of age. Dermatoglyphs are polygenetically determined properties, whose appearance and number are determined by a specific gene. They represent the skin reefs that are created by epidermis on the fingers or toes, palms and soles. Palmar dermatoglyphs have been used to estimate the hereditary basis of many diseases. Aim: The aim of the paper is to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the observed qualitative and quantitative parameters of both palms between the experimental and the control group. Material and Methods: A survey of the qualitative and quantitative properties of the palmar complex was carried out on a total of 100 female respondents. The first group included 50 women with breast cancer. Comparative data were used for the analysis of palmar dermatoglyphs in the second group of respondents, or 50 phenotypic healthy female subjects. The imprints of the palmar complex were taken using the printake ribbons, analyzed, and the data was then statistically processed and displayed in charts. An analysis of the number of reefs between two digital triradius was performed, followed by the determination of the axially triad position, as well as the ATD angle measurement. Results: Quantitative analysis of ATD-angle showed statistically significant difference between the left and right palms of the analyzed groups. However, the analysis of the number of reefs between triradius A-B, B-C, C-D did not show statistically significant results for both the left and right hand between the analyzed groups. Conclusion: These results indicate that the quantitative palmar parameter, ATD-angle, can play a role in identifying women with increased risk of breast cancer.

Intelligence is a core construct of individual differences in cognitive abilities and a strong predictor of important life outcomes. Within recent years, rates of cesarean section have substantially increased globally, though little is known about its effect on neurodevelopmental trajectories. Thus, we aimed to investigate the influence of delivery by cesarean section on the genetics of intelligence in children.
