This text is related to the PhD dissertation entitled “Policy Institutional Assessment in Vocational Education Technological Literacy: Faculties of Technology Paula Souza Center, in Sao Paulo”. The study was based on the principles of qualitative research in education, and theoretical and methodological studies in the field of education policy and management; public policies and sociology of education (evaluation). The paper discusses institutional evaluation within the legal context, following LDB 9394/96 and complementary legislation. Thus, the objective of the study is to reflect on how the concept of evaluation, in its different forms and purposes, is considered by educational policies in legal acts, as well as to analyze appreciate the value given to evaluation in the context of the State Administrative Reform apparatus.

Ambroxol hydrochloride (AMB), (1s,4s)-4-((2-amino-3,5-dibromocyclohexyl)methylamino) cyclohexanol hydrochloride, is semi - synthetic derivative of vasicine obtained from Indian shrub Adhatoda vasica. It is a metabolic product of bromhexin and it is used as broncho secretolytic and an expectorant drug. Analysis of Flavamed® tablets, in which ambroxol hydrochloride (AMB) is an active component, was performed. UV/VIS spectrophotometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) were used. Direct and indirect UV/VIS spectrophotometric methods were used for quantitative analysis of AMB and the following recovery value results were obtained: 100,16% and 95,23%, successively. Content of heavy metals in Flavamed® tablets was determined by atomic absorption spetroscopy.

Prirodne populacije hrasta lužnjaka (Quercus robur L.) u Bosni i Hercegovini su male i rascjepkane. Razlikuju se od onih koje se nalaze u svom optimumu u srednjoj Europi, svojom specifičnom genetskom strukturom, te imaju važnu ulogu u očuvanju raznolikosti hrasta lužnjaka u Europi. Cilj ovog istraživanja je odrediti varijabilnost populacija hrasta lužnjaka u Bosni i Hercegovini. U testu provenijencija u rasadniku Žepče, u proljeće 2012., 2013. i 2014. godine provedeno je mjerenje visina biljaka i promjera vrata korijena. Izmjerene su sve preživjele biljke u svih 28 provenijencija. Najmanju prosječnu visinu biljaka 2012. godine imala je provenijencija Miljevina, 38,8 cm, a najveću Jelah 74,3 cm. U 2013. godini, najmanju prosječnu visinu imala je provenijencija Stojčevac, 61,3 cm, dok provenijencija Jelah ostaje provenijencija sa najvećom prosječnom visinom, 108,4 cm. Provenijencija Miljevina i dalje ima prosječnu visinu vrlo nisku, 63,0 cm. U 2014. godini najmanju prosječnu visinu zadržava provenijencija Stojčevac, 90,8 cm a najveću provenijencija Jelah, 152,1 cm. Najmanji srednji promjer vrata korijena za 2012. godinu imala je provenijencija Vinac, 11,3 mm, a najveći provenijencija Jelah, 16,2 mm. Najmanji srednji promjer vrata korijena za 2013. godinu imala je provenijencija Stojčevac, 17,9 mm, a najveći provenijencija Jelah, 23,8 mm. Provenijencija Vinac se pomakla za sedamnaest mjesta s prosječnim promjerom vrata korijena 19,9 mm. Najmanji srednji promjer vrata korijena za 2014. godinu zadržala je provenijencija Stojčevac, s vrijednošću 23,7 mm, dok najveći promjer korijenovog vrata ima provenijencija Jelah, 34,7 mm. Analiza varijance pokazala je statistički značajne razlike između populacija po svim ispitivanim svojstvima, što je potvrdio i Duncan test.

Twenty years after the Dayton Peace Agreement an exclusive ethnic ideology, international tutelage and dependency characterize Bosnia and Herzegovina. Wrong political approaches by the international and local political actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina created permanent crisis, the status quo and a ‘case’ country. Conflict, furthermore enriched with exclusive ethno-cultural paradigm and the legacy of bloody crucible of the war, shape today’s political discourse in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Based on content analysis of leading newspapers, this paper examines the relationship between conflict and peace inclinations of main political leaders among Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats. In order to test the first objective on political discourse and political relationships based on the conflict vs. peace politics, using content analysis, the research analyzed media news on Bosnia and Herzegovina by considering only socio-political topics. We randomly selected 120 news from newspaper namely, Nezavisne novine, Glas srpske, Dnevni list and Dnevni avaz. For testing, the second objective on positive vs. negative political discourse of main political leaders we randomly selected 360 interview-based news about key political leader including Bakir Izetbegovic (Bosniak), Dragan Covic (Croat) and Miliorad Dodik (Serb). Research findings indicated that the conflict politics is deeply rooted in political discourse, media, among political leaders and the public.

In this paper the age structure and the ageing population process in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century is analyzed. The main reasons that caused changes in the age composition of the population and the population ageing in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been researched. The main causes of the population ageing in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second half of the 20th century were primarily trends in fertility rates and secondarily trends in mortality rates. The economic growth of Bosnia and Herzegovina after World War II conditioned changes in the economic and educational structure of the population and with that the changes in the natural increase rates and migration balance. The war was the main cause of negative demographic changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 1992 to 1995, and the post-war adverse socioeconomic, political and other circumstances have been the cause of negative demographic trends after 1995. The aim of this paper is to determine the level of population ageing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the consequences this process could have on the demographic future of this country.
