<p style="text-align: justify;">As the result of combustion process in boilers of the Thermal Power Plant &bdquo;Kakanj&ldquo;, flue gases develop, which are undesirable for the environment, for people living in the plant neighborhood and for flora and fauna. In order to perform environmental protection a lot of efforts and organizational activities should be put in action and significant resources should be made available. Flue gases from the plant boilers are filtered and discharged in the environment after passing flue channels and the chimney. The Thermal Power Plant &bdquo;Kakanj&ldquo; has used 300-meter chimney for flue gases discharge for a long time. During the<br />overhaul of block 7 and reconstruction of 300-meter chimney in period September-December 2014, it was necessary to redirect the flue gases from blocks 5&amp;6 to the 100-meter chimney. This task required certain reconstruction of existing installation and calculation of 100-meter chimney capability. The performed flue channels reconstruction and calculation of operating parameters of 100-meter chimney are presented in this paper.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, the possibility of proportioning self-compacting concrete with high volume calcareous fly ash (W) for precast elements has been investigated. So far, numerous mix design methods for self-compacting concrete have been developed, so as the most appropriate method in this investigation, the UCL method was chosen. In the first phase, the preliminary tests were conducted on the mortar mixtures using mini slump cone and mini V-funnel, and thereafter the optimal mixture composition was defined. In the second phase, self-compacting concrete mixture was prepared and tested. In the end, based<br />on the defined recipe, the precast elements were made and their properties were tested. On the basis of the examinations, it was found that it is possible to obtain high quality self-compacting concrete by using the relatively simple procedure according to the UCL method.</p>

Infekcija virusom hepatitisa D (HDV) javlja se samo u HBsAg pozitivnih osoba. Oko 350 milijuna ljudi u svijetu zara`eno je virusom hepatitisa B (HBV), a oko 5 % njih ima i HDV infekciju. Prikazana su prva dva prijavljena slu~aja hepatitisa D u Bosni i Hercegovini. Bolesnici su lije~eni u Slu`bi za zarazne bolesti Kantonalne bolnice Zenica, tijekom 2013. i 2014. godine. Serolo{ki testovi na HDV ra|eni su u Klinici za mikrobiologiju Klini~kog centra Sarajevo. Kod prvog, 67-godi{njeg mu{karca radilo se o akutnoj HBV-HDV koinfekciji, s te`im, produ`enim klini~kim tijekom i povoljnim ishodom bolesti: negativnim HBsAg, HDVAg i anti-HDV. Kod drugog, 34-godi{njeg mu{karca radilo se o superinfekciji hepatitis D virusom, na terenu kroni~nog hepatitisa B. Potrebno je podi}i svijest zdravstvenih djelatnika o opasnosti od udru`ene HBV i HDV infekcije i osigurati bolju dostupnost HDV dijagnostici.

Islamske finansije su napravile znaĉajan napredak na meĊunarodnim finansijskim trţistima. Evidentno je da su danas islamske finansije prisutne u vise od 75 zemalja sirom svijeta, posebno u muslimanskim zemljama. U pogledu finansijske infrastrukture, Malezijski islamski finansijski sistem je istovremeno, i velik, i u procesu kontinuiranog rasta. Na trţistu su prisutni razni investitori s islamskim bankama, prvenstveno investicionim bankama. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati konceptualno razumijevanje rasta islamskih finansija u Maleziji, analizirajuci trenutni i buduci razvoj. Uĉesce u procesu islamskih finansija zahtijeva razvoj sveobuhvatnog islamskog finansijskog sistema, adekvatne finansijske infrastrukture kao sto je: sirok spektar proizvoda, zakonska regulativa, niske takse, jeftini uvjeti poslovanja, visoki standardi etike poslovanja, i prihvatljivi uvjeti ţivota. TakoĊer je potrebno prisustvo edukovanog ljudskog kapitala koji ce doprinijeti daljem razvoju. Ovaj rad ima za cilj prikazati platformu razvoja islamskih finansija u Maleziji.

Iako mlada institucija, islamsko bankarstvo sve vise postaje globalistiĉki proces sa izraţenim ten-dencijama daljeg rasata. Islamsko bankarstvo ima svoje specifiĉnosti koje se oĉituju u modelima finansiran-ja. Rad analizira praktiĉne aspekte islamskih finansija i alternative koje nudi menadţerima u korporativnom sektoru u iznalaţenju modela finasiranja, tj. musareka, mudaraba, opadajuca musareka, idţara, selem i istisna. U radu se daje kratak prikaz specifiĉnosti modela finansiranja, beskamatnih finansija i stvaranje ravnoteţe u drustvu.
