Background Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) competitions are determined by the rules of the Code of Points (CoP) which experience changes in each new Olympic Games (OG). One of the WAG CoP rules states that in the Vault Finals, gymnasts need to perform two different vaults. The aim of this study was to determine the quality of the vault performances and the differences between them during Vault Finals at all major competitions held from 2008 to 2016. Numerically higher values of Difficulty Scores, Execution Scores and Final Scores of the first vault compared to the scores of the second vault have been determined at all the analysed competitions. Results The differences between the scores during different competitions have been determined as significant, but they have not been determined as significant between the scores achieved at the OG held in 2008, 2012 and 2016. Significant differences between the Difficulty Scores of the first and the second vaults have been determined at the World Championships (WC) 2010 and OG2012; and within Final Scores of the first and the second vaults at WC2009, WC2010, OG2012 and WC2015. Conclusions It was concluded that female Vault Finalists performed two structurally different vaults of similar Difficulty Value equally well.

Through the judgments Digital Rights Ireland and Tele2 Sverige, the CJEU emphasised the power of the CFR (in particular arts 7, 8, 52) through the fundamental right of data protection and general principles of law such as the principle of proportionality and legal certainty. Article 52 CFR represents the essence of justification. In the spirit of article 52(3) and (4) CFR it becomes evident that the CJEU, the ECtHR and the German Constitutional Court go in the same direction. The CJEU was brave enough to deliver a scathing verdict on data retention. More strongly than the German CC, the CJEU safeguards data protection. Hence, the decisions of the CJEU were described as milestone decisions and the CJEU as a Court of fundamental rights. On the other hand, the CJEU focused all its power on proportionality expressed through the element of strict necessity. It is astonishing that the Court does not use the existing methodology on proportionality to strengthen legal discipline and confidence. Although proportionality may be assessed differently in single legal systems and cultures, the broad constitutionalisation and application of proportionality in jurisdiction proves the power of this general principle of law. The exploration of this principle is rather challenging, but most beneficial for the future application of primary law

The dams are very important objects for production of electric energy, irrigation, flood management and tourism. However, besides all benefits the dams provide, they also represent great danger for areas downstream because there is always risk of dam failure. To prevent dam failure it is important to perform regular dam monitoring and for that purpose geodetic and physical methods are used. Geodetic methods use special network of points for object monitoring where reference points are used for monitoring of object points which are strategically distributed on the object. By quality prediction of object behaviour it would be possible to prevent further damage on the object and additionally to save human lives in cases of great danger. In this paper artifical neural networks (ANNs) are used for dam movement prediction. ANNs are very popular tool for prediction since they are known for their quick learning ability and good generalization ability which gives them advantage compared to traditional statistical methods.

Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 is an invasive bug species native to the western part of North America and one of 16 alien Heteroptera species in Europe. After it was first found in Italy in 1999, the species spread fast across the continent, including the Balkan Peninsula. Our study confirms the species presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina and gives data on its distribution, including the earliest records for the country. Up untill now the species is found at nine different locations in the period from 2008 to 2016. The record from early spring 2008 suggests that the species was already present in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2007 or even earlier. Most records pertain to overwintering adults. For the first time the species is reported from Bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii H. Christ). The species is also reported from Klek village in Dubrovnik region, south Croatia.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Mechanical properties of every material play important role during material selection for any mechanic system. The main mechanics property which is crucial for material selection is Toughness. The paper present some of the aspects in problems of the toughness and fatigue for Aluminum Alloys. The paper also presents the set of the ASTM anf British<br />Standards which describe procedure in analysing and determining toughness and fatige properties for this kind of the alloys.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">During the second half of the last century in Europe, district heating systems (DHS) have been built intensively to supply cities and settlements with heat energy.<br />Taking into account that energy prices at that time were low, there was an economic justification for the construction of expensive infrastructural distribution systems. After the first oil shock of the seventies of the last century, there was a review of the consumption of petroleum products (mainly oil) as fuel in the heat sources of the DHS.<br />The European Union, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the heat energy sector has long-term goals that are aimed at increasing the DHS to 30% by 2030, or 50% by 2050, in that of the current DHS of 12%. The present (current) state of the district heating system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Republic of Srpska and Federation BiH) is presented. The paper covers the technical, technological, supply, distribution, environmental, economic and market parameters of DHS in BiH. The institutional and legislative framework is presented in the previous paper, the comparison of parameters was made in relation to the cities of other countries in transition. The main conclusions are that in the cities of BiH (in the RS and FBiH) the small utilization of the district heating system is outdated, Investing in new ones requires significant investment funds, there are small movements in the application and introduction of renewable energy sources such as biomass, and in this connection, there is a small impact on CO2 emission reductions, large losses in heat distribution have been identified, and a market situation that is distinguished still high energy prices and pricing of heat service dominantlly is based on the surface of the space.</p>

Abstract Although the quality of a process affects the quality of the end product, there is currently an insignificant amount of knowledge about the quality of project management (PM) processes that directly affect the quality of the delivered product (constructed building). This study presents a proposal for modeling the impact of the quality of the PM process on the quality of the constructed building. The quality of the PM process is represented by the main quality factors and product quality indicators. It presents the results of the interviews that were conducted and study cases that were analyzed in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a variety of project participants (with different managerial perspectives) in terms of the indicators of quality of the delivered product. All participants, regardless of managerial perspective, believe that the most important indicator of the quality of products for each phase of the project is “customer satisfaction in the end phase”, the measurement of which is different for each project phase that is presented. The results of the factor analysis of the definition and the planning phases show that 11 variables, namely, the quality factors of the PM process, can be grouped into three new factors, which is described as 66.61% (77.046%) of the basic set of variables.

Inclusive education is increasingly becoming a dominating paradigm of the educational system in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, although supported by positive legislature, there are still numerous obstacles to inclusion. The goal of the present study was to examine the attitudes of regular education teachers towards inclusive education, more specifically towards obstacles to successful inclusion. The sample consisted of 200 elementary school teachers from two cantons in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The greatest obstacle for inclusion as perceived by the teachers was the lack of professionals trained to work with children with special educational needs in regular schools. It is of utmost importance to support regular education teachers in their efforts to support all students in their classes. This calls for a more meaningful and thorough reformation of regular schools. Inkliuzinis ugdymas tampa vis labiau dominuojancia Bosnijos ir Hercegovinos ugdymo sistemos paradigma. Nepaisant to, kad sią paradigmą remia įstatymai, vis dar yra nemažai kliūcių, trukdancių įgyvendinti inkliuzinį ugdymą. Sio tyrimo tikslas – isanalizuoti bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų mokytojų požiūrį į inkliuzinį ugdymą, ypac atkreipiant dėmesį į tai, kas trukdo sėkmingai įgyvendinti sį ugdymo metodą. Tyrimo imtį sudarė 200 bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų mokytojų is dviejų Bosnijos ir Hercegovinos kantonų. Mokytojų nuomone, didžiausia inkliuzinio ugdymo įgyvendinimo kliūtis yra parengtų specialistų, kurie dirbtų su specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių turinciais vaikais bendrojo lavinimo mokykloje, trūkumas. Labai svarbu teikti paramą tiems bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų mokytojams, kurie per pamokas stengiasi padėti visiems mokiniams. Si situacija suaktualina poreikį įgyvendinti prasmingesne ir nuodugnesne bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų reformą.
