In this paper author gives a brief overview of current state of development process of health care system in B&h which was significantly changed during aggression to our country. Main part of medical facilities of that system was either destroyed, especially medical equipment, which is now unused old. An important segment in health care reforms in Federal program of health in B&H have to be gathering and using of modern medical chronologies based on microprocessors. In that case, we need start with education of medical staff in that field.

This year it has been 50 years since the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo was founded. Half a century in existence of a scientific and educational institution represents a period which is sufficient to make a serious retrospective, but also to make a serious analysis and projections for the future. Medical Faculty in Sarajevo was therefore been opened in 1944. There were students in the first generation, who completed the educational process from the first year program of studies. Due to circumstances of war this process at the Faculty was interrupted. On November 16, 1946. Medical Faculty in Sarajevo was reopened and since then it has been continuously working for 50 years, maintaining its educational, scientific and health activities. Former departments of the General Hospital in Sarajevo have grown into its clinical departments and during the period between 1947 until 1952, the majority of its institutes have been already constructed. The development of some of the clinics was however a little bit slower. Within the educational process we can separate four stages in the development of the Faculty; period from 1954 which has been characterized by a classical middle-european educational plan and program; from 1954-1956, the so-called "block system" of monocourse educational process; in the period 1956-1990, a five years study curriculum has been promoted with attempts to reform the educational process; from 1990 until today, the six-years study curriculum has been introduced, being in accordance with the plans and programs of European educational institutions. There were 14,000 students who have throughout this period been enrolled in Medical Faculty in Sarajevo, and 6575 have successfully completed their academic curriculum and obtained the title doctor of medicine. The Faculty has also preserved the continuity of its work under the circumstances of aggression and blockade of Sarajevo. Educational process was maintained without interruptions applying the methods adapted for the circumstances of war, which nevertheless assume full study plans and programs. The results of this work were 164 graduated doctors of medicine, 21 masters of medical sciences, and 17 successfully defended doctoral theses. The Faculty is presently involved in reralization of 15 scientific-research projects with a dominant war-related issues investigates. The Faculty organized or sponsored 9 scientific meetings. The contribution of its professors and assistants, but also of its students was invaluable in this war, some of whom have sacrificed their lives, and some of whom were seriously wounded and remained disabled in their strive to maintain the principles and ethics of their profession.

Medical informatics is the first science that has incorporated all traditional medical disciplines. That progress is possible due to fast development of new technologies, particularly in informatics, as well as due to common needs of all medical disciplines. Information is crucial component of all investigations, and that is why the main goal should be incorporation of information technologies into medical practice. Due to its complexity, medical informatics is interdisciplinary. That is evident through incorporation of different methods, principles, techniques etc., that are used while carrying out the tasks in the field of medical informatics. Implementation of modern technologies, particularly information technologies in medicine, will enable faster data processing; it will reduce expenditures in all branches of medicine (statistics, documentation or documentary etc.). Thus, medical staff will have much more time to devote themselves to primary tasks.

Investigation results of morphological and geological potential bauxite deposit indicators in the Mesihovina-Rakitno bauxitebearing sedimentary basin in Western Herzegovina are presented. Region with carbonate and clastic hangingwalls as well as those without overlying sediments have been studied. It was established that the expression and number of the indicators depend size as well as on character and thickness of hangingwall sediments. The morphological indicators are expressed as a particular relief forms situated right above the deposits or nearby and are a consequence of geological relations and exodynamic processes. The numerous geological indicators resulted from complex geological events. The most important are: preore structural relations, the formation of paleorelief, peculiar way of hangingwall rocks sedimentation, lithification processes and the formation of the recent structural pattern. It has been observed that particular indicators sould be recognized within a relatively thick succession of the overlying sediments which is of the great importance in the exploration of bauxite deposits. str. 17-27

Elastic-plastic deformation of a thin-walled pipe, composed of layers with material orthotropic in the elastic and plastic domains, is analyzed. The first material direction for each layer is inclined for an angle (+a and -a successively) with respect to the pipe axis. The yield condition of the material represents a generalization of Hill's criterion to include material hardening. The pipe is loaded by internal pressure and other external loads, and it is supposed that the pipe cross section is free to expand or contract. The derived incremental relations for stress integration, which take into account the stress-strain conditions in the pipe wall, are based on the governing parameter method, developed by the first author, where the problem of implicit integration of inelastic constitutive relations within a tune (load) step is reduced to solution of one governing nonlinear equation. Also, the expressions for the tangent elastic-plastic constitutive matrix are derived. One solved simple numerical example demonstrates the main characteristics of the developed algorithm, especially suited for a general elastic-plastic analysis of composite pipes (within the displacement-based finite element method).
