Abstract: In the first quarter of 2012, almost all of the observed indexes in regional capital markets registered an increase in value, except for the capital market in BH, i.e. index of the Sarajevo Stock Exchange (SASX - 10) and Banja Luka Stock Exchange securities (BIRS). Therefore, the highest growth was achieved by the Serbian regional index (BELEX 15) in the amount of 6.59%, followed by Croatian (CROBEX) with 5.36%, Macedonian (MBI-10) with 2.56%, Montenegrin (MONEX) with an increase of 2.17% and Slovenian (SBI TOP) with the yield of 1.64 %. The largest decline in the value was registered by the Banja Luka index (BIRS) of 4.69 % and Sarajevo (SASX -10) for 3.57%. In this paper, we analyse the effect of four independent variables through multiple linear regression on a dependent variable. The dependent variable is the stock market index of the Sarajevo Stock Exchange (SASX - 30), while the independent variables in the model are the total turnover of shares, total loans of commercial banks, market capitalization and stock exchange index of the New York Stock Exchange (S&P 500). The main objective of this paper is to determine whether there is interdependence in the movement between the independent and dependent variables in order to better understand the factors that influence the movement of the SASX – 30 stock index. Key words: Stock Index, Turnover, Market Capitalizatio, S&P 500, Regression Analysis, Total Loans, The Global Financial Crisis Normal 0 21 false false false BS-LATN-BA X-NONE X-NONE

This study was conducted on the sample of 127 top level basketball players from 11 different teams in three countries from the Western Balkans. Two significant findings were found in this paper. The first one is consisted of six motivational variables (controlled motivation, autonomous motivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, and intrinsic motivation) out of which four predictor variables were singled out. The multiple regression was used to establish that the variable of identified regulation significantly predetermined the variable of handling relationships. Combined with external regulation, it led to a decrease in efficiency of cooperative and interactive performance of basketball players. The other significant finding was the fact that top basketball players from the Western Balkans differed among themselves in the level of reading and managing emotions. This finding may prove to be useful to managers and coaches as they can apply it through education and interactive workshops in order to establish positive mutual influencing among team members, i.e. to facilitate those with lower levels of managing emotions to be able to learn from the players who possess higher levels of managing emotions and reading emotions as well.

The ability to accurately measure real-time pH fluctuations in-vivo could be highly advantageous. Early detection and potential prevention of bacteria colonization of surgical implants can be accomplished by monitoring associated acidosis. However, conventional glass membrane or ion-selective field-effect transistor (ISFET) pH sensing technologies both require a reference electrode which may suffer from leakage of electrolytes and potential contamination. Herein, we describe a solid-state sensor based on oxidized single-walled carbon nanotubes (ox-SWNTs) functionalized with the conductive polymer poly(1-aminoanthracene) (PAA). This device had a Nernstian response over a wide pH range (2–12) and retained sensitivity over 120 days. The sensor was also attached to a passively-powered radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag which transmits pH data through simulated skin. This battery-less, reference electrode free, wirelessly transmitting sensor platform shows potential for biomedical applications as an implantable sensor, adjacent to surgical implants detecting for infection.
