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.

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.

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.

The main aims of our study were (1) to determine the flora in the railway areas with special emphasis on the presence of neophytes ; (2) to describe the features of flora throughout analyses of taxonomic composition, chorotypes, life forms and the phytosociological character of species found at 15 stations in the Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean areas of the Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (SE Europe). According to their floristic composition, two broad groups of stations were recognized: i) stations in the most south of the area with higher annual precipitation and air temperature (cities of Ploce, Metkovic, Capljina, Mostar), and ii) stations in sub- Mediterranean rural areas located exclusively on the higher altitudes, including stations in three Dalmatian large cities (Zadar, Sibenik, Split). Altogether, 359 vascular plant taxa (336 species and 23 subspecies) were identified within 62 families and 230 genera. Therophytes, and Mediterraneans with a considerable proportion of Cosmopolitans were predominant. Neophytes contributed 14% of identified flora, the majority being invasive. In the phytosociological spectrum, the largest element was made up of taxa from Stellarietea mediae and Festuco valesiacae-Brometea erecti classes. The most studied railway stations, excluding those in large cities, retain a link with the floristic composition of the plant communities of its biogeographic context.

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

Introduction: Mental function has a physiological basis and is clearly associated with somatic and social functioning as well as the state of total health. Early childhood is an extremely important period and a special opportunity for an adequate promotion of mental health and the prevention of mental disorders. Most of the mental disorders that are registered with adults start at age 14. The aim of the paper: The aim of the paper was to point out the importance of promoting healthy life-

<p>The heating of residential and commercial premises in urban areas during winter periods is mostly performed by use of the heat energy which is distributed through central or city heating systems. Water, steam and gas are used as the basic working media in these heating systems. The thermal energy that is used in the city of Kakanj and its surrounding<br />settlements is produced in the Thermal Power Plant Kakanj and then delivered to the final consumers, which are usually located at relatively large distances from the heat source.<br />This paper describes the district heating system in Kakanj and the process<br />of heat energy distribution carried out by JP &bdquo;Grijanje&ldquo; d.o.o. Kakanj.<br /><br /></p>

This work was carried out calculating and research the deflection of the vertical on line traverse in the geodetic network of the City of Sarajevo. Determination of vertical deflection is done using Quadar. Computations consist of two segments. The first segment is the calculation of the coordinates of points without taking into account the vertical deflection, while the second segment dealt with the calculation of the coordinates of points by taking into account the vertical deflection.

In this paper, the morphometric characteristics of the Una River basin (Bosnia and Herze­ govina) were analyzed using geographic information systems (GIS). Quantitative geomor­ phological analysis was carried out (hypsometric characteristics, slope inclination,vertical relief dissection, and slope exposition). Analyzed parameters are indicators of shapes and recent processes in relief. The significance of this analysis is reflected in the fact that the obtained data have numerical value, are verifiable and multiple applicable in practice for the purposes of agriculture water management, construction sector urbanism, tourism, spatial planning, etc.
