<p>Istraženost raznolikih aspekata nematerijalne kulturne ba&scaron;tine u Bosni i Hercegovini jo&scaron; uvijek je u znatnom zaostajanju. U novije vrijeme ova tema je dobila na aktuelnosti nakon &scaron;to je Generalna skup&scaron;tina UNESCO-a 2006. godine usvojila Konvenciju o za&scaron;titi nematerijalne kulturne ba&scaron;tine, a koju su vlasti Bosne i Hercegovine potpisale početkom 2009. godine. Prema odredbama ovog značajnog međunarodnog dokumenta pod nematerijalnim kulturnim naslijeđem podrazumijeva se: praksa,izvođenje, izražaji,znanje, vje&scaron;tine, kao i instrumenti, objekti, rukotvorine i kulturni prostori povezani s tim, koje zajednice, grupe i u nekim slučajevima pojedinci priznaju kao dio svoje kulturne ba&scaron;tine. Različite forme i izražaje nematerijalne kulturne ba&scaron;tine, koja se prenosi sa generacije na generaciju, zajednice i grupe u kontinuitetu iznova stvaraju kao odgovor na svoj ambijent, svoju interakciju sa prirodom i svojom historijom, pružajući im osjećaj identiteta i kontinuiteta,čime se promovira po&scaron;tivanje kulturnih raznolikosti i ljudska kreativnost. Ova Konvencija ima u vidu isključivo takvo nematerijalno kulturno naslijeđe koje je kompatibilno sa postojećim međunarodnim instrumentima za za&scaron;titu ljudskih prava, kao i potrebu uzajamnog po&scaron;tivanja među zajednicama, grupama i pojedincima, koje je u skladu sa potrebama održivog razvoja.</p>

Elevated body mass is an important risk factor of many diseases like hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, coronary heart disease etc. To reduce body weight various medicament, surgical, behavioural, dietetic and other approaches and methods are used. Education of patients is one of the key points in success, and besides solely implementation it is often used in combination with other methods. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of education in overweight and obese healthy and sick patients on the weight reduction. Study was conducted on the sample of 77 participants of which 39 were overweight and obese but otherwise healthy, 9 were patients with hypertension, 8 were diabetics, 11 patients with gastrointestinal problems and 10 patients with food allergies. During the study observation period all participants were educated on the importance of balanced nutrition via the flyer, weekly menu and individual interview. The observation period was 3 months per person. Basic anthropometric measurements were conducted and BMI calculated for each participant at the beginning and at the end of the observation period. Average reduction in BMI was 3.26 units in overweight and obese but otherwise healthy participants, 3.40 units in patients with hypertension, 5.08 units in diabetics, 0.12 units in patients with gastrointestinal problems and 0.10 in patients with food allergies. Greatest average reduction in BMI was noticed in diabetics. Education on balanced diet and healthy lifestyle via the flyer, weekly menu and individual interview resulted in significant body mass reduction in healthy as well as in patients with diagnosis. Education of overweight and obese persons could be an important tool in weight management programs.

Introduction: The majority of menopausal women is changing nutritional status. The causes of this may include: hormonal changes, bad eating habits, heredity, lifestyle etc. The most common symptoms of menopause are hot flushes, sweats and mood swings. Women entering menopause unprepared to cope with the changes of this period of life and with insufficient knowledge of dietary habits that lead to oversupply or lack of nutrients. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the degree of nutritional status in postmenopausal women and to determine the degree of correlation between nutritional status and dietary habits of women with menopausal symptoms and the frequency of certain health disorders. Methodology: The study was carried out collecting, systematization and statistical analysis of data on the nutritional status and dietary habits of a sample of 300 women aged 45 to 55 years old. For women, the absence of a menstrual cycle longer than three consecutive months, it was considered to be in menopause.The survey was conducted in five ambulance of family medicine. To collect the data is used standardized list of questions about eating habits, based on the Likert scale. Results and discussion: According to the body mass index (BMI), 12:33% of the patients were within the normal range of nutrition, while 87% of respondents were from overweight and obese. BMI was significantly higher in patients with an increased intake of: soft drinks, sweets and white bread. Soy as a food is present in the diet in only 18% of respondents. Women who have never had symptoms of menopause and menopausal disorders have significantly lower BMI (p<0,05). The most common diseases in the period of menopause in a patient were examined: hypertension (57%), diabetes (12%), depressive disorders (25%) and cancer (1%). Conclusion: Food habits of the respondents indicate insufficient knowledge of nutritional needs and recommendations, which resulting in the consumption of food that is not adapted to this period of life. The subjects are not feed buy the standards and recommendations of the WHO, and among them there is an increased risk of diseases typical for menopause, and as a result of the effects of improper nutrition. Nutrition according to the standards and recommendations of the WHO resulting in improved nutritional status of women in menopause, and as result of that is a reduction in the occurrence of diseases and negative symptoms of menopause. Recommendation: It’s needed a systematic and organized education in menopausal women in order to achieve proper nutrition and normal nutritional status, which may contribute to a better quality of life, reducing related diseases and negative symptoms of menopause.

For a given generalized Nevanlinna function Q(z) 2 N� (H), we study decompo- sitions that satisfy: Q = Q1 +Q2; Qi2 Ni (H), 0 � �i, i = 1, 2, and �1 +�2 = �, which we call desirable decompositions. In this paper, necessary and sufficient con- ditions for such decompositions of Q are obtained. One of the main results is a new, operator representation of ˆ

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of different warm-up interventions on jump, sprint and agility performance in collegiate soccer players. Twenty-one healthy male college soccer players (age: 20.14 ± 1.65 years; body height: 179.9 ± 8.34 cm; body mass: 74.4 ± 13.0 kg; % body fat: 9.45 ± 4.8) participated in the study. Subjects underwent four different randomized warm-up protocols separated by at least 48 hours. The warm-up schemes were: 1. no conditioning contraction protocol (NCC); 2. dynamic stretching (DS); 3. prolonged intermittent low-intensity isometric exercise (ST); and, 4. ST with an additional external load equal to 30% of body weight (ST + 30% BW). All interventions were preceded by a general warm-up. Results from one-way repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated a significant difference in countermovement jump (CMJ) at F(3,60) = 10.2, ηρ2 = 0.337, p < 0.01. Post hoc analysis revealed a significant difference in CMJ performance in DS when compared to NCC and ST + 30% BW. No significant difference in CMJ was observed between DS and ST. CMJ scores in NCC, ST, and ST + 30% BW were non-significant. There was a significant difference in speed; F(3, 60) = 6.61, ηρ2 = 0.248, p < 0.01. Post hoc analysis revealed significantly better time in DS than NCC and ST. However, no difference in speed was observed between DS and ST + 30% BW. Similarly, speed was similar in NCC, ST and ST + 30% BW. A significant difference in agility performance was also observed; F(3, 60) = 24.1, ηρ2= 0.546, p < 0.01. Post hoc analysis revealed significantly greater performance gains in DS than NCC. No significant difference in agility was observed in DS, ST and ST + 30% BW. In conclusion, a prolonged intermittent low-intensity isometric protocol using bodyweight only showed similar benefits with dynamic stretching in countermovement jump performance. When the same isometric condition with additional load equal to 30% of bodyweight was applied, effects in speed and agility were similar to dynamic stretching.

In a perfectly integrated market local demand has no impact on the formation of market price, since changes in local demand cause price equalization in the market through efficient allocation of resources (Pareto efficiency). Information is crucial to market performance and integration as market agents can’t explore arbitrage opportunities in its absence. This paper tests the impact of introduction of agricultural market information system (via SMS service which provides information on prices of agricultural items in different markets) on observed degree of market integration in agro-food market in B&H, pre and post the service. Degree of market integration is measured as the extent that local demand has on formation of prices in the market pre and post introduction of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) service. The methodology assumed tests the Law of One Price, while taking into account transportation costs and concludes that introduction of the ICT service in agro-food market in B&H has increased the level of market integration as it is shown that the impact of the local demand onto formation of the local market price has decreased after the introduction of the service. The results suggest that ICT may have a significant role in tackling information asymmetry and consequently promote market integration. This is a pilot assessment that covered only 16 months of daily price, so for the purpose of drawing conclusions with additional precision, it must be noted that there exists a need to broaden the study further to cover larger period of time.

Plants are sessile organisms and are not able to move away from adverse environmental conditions and must response to an array of environmental and developmental cues. They heavily rely on high sensitivity detection and adaptation mechanisms to environmental perturbations. Signal transduction, the means whereby cells construct response to a signal, is a recently defined focus of research in plant biology. Over the past decade our understanding of plant signaling pathways has increased greatly, in part due to the use of molecular genetics and biochemical tools in model plants for example Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula. This has assisted us in the identification of components of many signal transduction pathways in diverse physiological systems for example hormonal, developmental and environmental signal transduction pathways and cross-talk between them. During the last 15 years the number of known plant hormones has grown from five to at least ten. Furthermore, many of the proteins involved in plant hormone signaling pathways have been identified, including receptors for many of the major hormones. In addition, recent studies confirm that hormone signaling is integrated at several levels during plant growth and development. In this review paper we have covered recent work in signaling pathway in plants especially how plants sense biotic and abiotic stresses and the potential mechanisms by which different chemical molecules and their downstream signaling components modulates stress tolerance.

Antropoloski prostor je vrlo znacajan i primaran u selekciji, usmjeravanju i postizanju rezultata u sportu. To se narocito ispoljava u vrhunskom sportu gdje se postižu izuzetni rezultati. Zavisno od sporta, sportske discipline zavisi i ucesce i uticaj antropoloskog prostora, odnosno njegovih segmenata na ukupan rezultat. Kada se opisuje i definise određena populacija sportista, njihov morfoloski prostor, najcesce se kao parametri analiziraju tjelesna visina, tjelesna masa, bodi mass index, a vrlo cesto i starosna dob ispitanika. Ovi parametri su vrlo pouzdani i daju realnu sliku o morfoloskom prostoru ispitivane populacije. U radu su analizirane razlike u segmentima morfoloskog prostora atleticarki skakacica, finalistkinja Olimpijskih igara u Pekingu. Uzorak je obuhvatio 32 takmicarke u cetiri discipline (skok u dalj, skok u vis, troskok, skok motkom). Analizirane su razlike u tjelesnoj visini, masi tijela, BMI i starosnoj dobi. Za obradu podataka primjenjen je T-test za male nezavisne uzorke koji je potvrdio postojanje statisticki znacajnih razlika u tjelesnoj visini atleticarki u disciplinama: skok u dalj - skok u vis (T=-2.906, p<0.05), skok u vis - troskok (T=3,448; p<0.01), skok u vis - skok motkom (T=3,469; p<0.01). Razlike su potvrđene i u vrijednostima BMI u disciplinama: skok u vis-skok u dalj (T=3,496; p<0.01) i skok u vis-troskok (T=-3,136; p<0.01)
