Background and purpose: Caused by appearance of new stakeholders and diversification of their interests towards forests, different forest-related conflicts emerged worldwide. As a country with economy in transition and relatively young democracy, Bosnia-Herzegovina might be suitable for understanding the roots, actors and varieties of these conflicts. This paper deals with the most frequent forest-related conflicts, main actors involved as well as undertaken actions in order to manage them in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Materials and methods: The theoretical framework is based on the Conflict Management Progress Triangle consisting of three dimensions of conflict: substance, process and relations. As particular focus in this paper is given to conflicts between forestry and wood-processing industry, the primary parties in this study were public forestry companies and wood processing companies. For the purpose of this survey a special questionnaire has been designed. The survey population included the most important actors of forest and wood-processing industry as follows: ministries of forestry, nature protection and physical planning at all levels, managers/owners of wood-processing companies, managers of public forest companies and public forest administration, representatives of the most important environmental NGOs and professional associations, managers of protected areas and water management authorities, heads of forest research institutions, economy of chambers and international institutions. In total 136 questionnaires were collected, out of which 68 respondents identified conflicts between forestry and wood-processing industry as the most important ones. Discussion and conclusions: The results show that the main causes of these conflicts are: differences in demand and supply of wood assortments, way of selling of wood assortments (including quantities and delivery dynamics) as well as wood assortments prices. As the most prominent action among the undertaken ones to manage the conflicts, the respondents underlined adoption of criteria for transparent selling of wood assortments. The results of this paper might be useful for both, public forest companies and wood-processing companies. Timely identification and implementation of possible solutions in order to overcome the most pronounced conflicts would increase competitive advantages for both sides.

Basic principles, methodological approach to the CORINE Land Cover database–revision and correction of the CORINE 2000 (the first inventory) and preparation of the CLC2006 database are shown. The CORINE Land Cover 2006 project in Bosnia and Herzegovina (CLC2000 and CLC2006) is used as a main source of data in this paper. Special attention will be given to the metodological approach in identifying land use changes, land cover between 2000-2006. Bearing in mind that land use changes have been produced by using GIS technology, this work present GIS as a tool, while various possibilities of this tool regarding data analysis presented as well. The possibility of using the CORINE 2006 in land use planning processes in B&H is presented.

Simovic S, Matkovic B, Mijanovic M, Kocic M, Vojvodic M. Structure of efficiency factor at XIII, XIV, XV, and XVI World Championship in basketball. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 7, No. 2, pp. 527-543, 2012. Applying the method of main components by Hotelling and the method of rotation of the main components, i.e. Varimax rotations by Keiser, the latent structure of basketball efficiency was established. It was based on the fourteen manifest indicators of efficiency. Our findings refer to the sample comprised of the game-winning teams at the World Championships: in Greece, 62 basketball teams; the USA, 62 basketball teams; Japan, 80 basketball teams; and Turkey, 80 basketball teams. Factorization was performed on the entire sample of all game-winning teams, that is 284, as well as on the single game winners at the championships in Greece, USA, Japan, and Turkey. There was the total of four factor analyses and within each of them five to seven latent dimensions, i.e. factors based on the fourteen manifest efficiency parameters were extracted. Katell method of landslide indicates a clear elbow between the third and fourth component. These first three latent dimensions in all four factor analysis exhibit the stability of factors and high saturation on the side of the manifest variables. The factors have been defined as: general offensive efficiency factor, three-points shot factor and free throw factor. Having the variables that account for the total number of attempted and made shots dominant within the structure of these factors, it can be concluded that general latent structure of basketball efficiency is indeed explained by means of shot efficiency. These findings confirm both empirical and theoretical speculations of basketball experts, i.e. the overall basketball efficiency is primarily dependent on the shot efficiency, what seems entirely logical. Key words: LATENT STRUCTURE, FACTOR ANALYSIS, WINNER, SHOT

We address the issue of model dependence of partial proton decays due to exchange of a single scalar leptoquark within a minimal viable SU(5) framework. The minimal setup predicts a flavor part of the proton decay widths for channels with anti-neutrinos in the final state to depend solely on the known masses and mixing parameters of the quark sector and one extra phase. We accordingly establish an accurate lower limit on the mass of the scalar leptoquark in connection with the relevant experimental constraints on the matter stability. The ratio of proton decay widths for channels with the positive pion and the positive kaon in the final state turns out to be phase independent and predicts strong suppression of the former width with respect to the latter one. Our results offer a possibility to test the minimal scenario if and when proton decay is observed.

This text represents summary version of the final report on research conducted as part of the project of „Monitoring candidates‟ respect of their commitment to ethical behavior during the election campaign.' (or 'Monitoring of pre-election campaign') Research was conducted during period of June 1, 2010 to November 1, 2010 on the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). The aims of research titled „Monitoring candidates‟ respect of their commitment to ethical behavior during the election campaign‟ were to conduct monitoring of pre-election rhetoric of 1. key political subjects, 2. most influential media and 3. inside institutions of power and entire public discourse for the first time in B&H.
