<p style="text-align: justify;">Fracture mechanics is a field that is increasingly studied and applied in modern industry. One of the most widely accepted methods for assessing structural integrity in this field is the SINTAP method. Although there are many literary sources available that discuss this<br />method, very few of them present its concrete application. This paper presents the application of the mentioned method, along with appropriate equations, at a basic level of analysis. The relevant fracture mechanics parameters are determined numerically using<br />Ansys software, with the example of a thick-walled pressure vessel with cracks in the support zone. The analysis takes into account the effects of operational loads, as well as residual stresses resulting from welding.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">This paper deals with the numerical determination of the stress intensity factor KI for meridional cracks on the ellipsoidal head of pressure vessels. The experiment was carried out according to selected parameters, including vessel diameter, wall thickness and pressure. The analysis of the results concluded that the cylindrical segment of the ellipsoidal head and the crown of the ellipsoidal head are the most critical places for the appearance of cracks, exposed to tensile stresses. Regression analysis determined that the internal pressure has the greatest influence on the KI factor, while the diameter of the vessel is also significant for the crown of the ellipsoidal head. The conducted experiments confirm the obtained regression models, although deviations attributed to the imperfections of the numerical simulations were observed. Despite this, it is concluded that the obtained values of the KI factor are satisfactorily accurate.</p>

BILATERAL PROJECT REPORT IMPACT OF QUARANTINE DUE TO COVID-19 ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN SLOVENIA AND BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Background: Primary healthcare plays a crucial role in addressing opiate addiction, aiming to provide treatment to approximately 80 percent of affected individuals, aligning with its approach to managing other chronic diseases. An optimal scenario involves the integration of opiate substitution therapy within primary healthcare settings, enhancing accessibility for individuals struggling with addiction. For effective treatment delivery, primary healthcare facilities must be equipped with knowledgeable staff, appropriate medical equipment, and diagnostic resources. In instances where primary healthcare cannot deliver services to full capacity,  referrals to secondary healthcare facilities, particularly addiction specialist, become necessary for comprehensive examination and treatment. Methods: This study adopts a retrospective qualitative approach. It encompasses an examination of pertinent laws and regulations, analysis of opiate addiction reports and treatment documentation, and the facilitation of focus group discussions. Results: Findings from the focus group sessions illuminate prevalent challenges within primary care, indicating difficulties in managing addicted individuals coupled with negative emotional responses among staff members, underscoring the need for enhanced support and training. Conclusion: Addressing the identified gaps necessitates collaborative efforts involving secondary healthcare education, systemic reforms, and increased involvement of psychiatrists in the treatment continuum. By integrating  these measures, primary healthcare systems can bolster their capacity to effectively address opiate addiction, thereby improving outcomes and overall  community well-being.

<p>More recently modified stainless steels have been used to produce various structural elements that work in complex operating conditions. Stainless steel X8CrNiS18-9 (standard EN 10088-3) is the most commonly used from the group of austenitic stainless steel in terms of machinability. This steel has high mechanical and working properties thanks to a complex alloying, primarily with elements such as chromium and nickel. The content of sulphur present in the steel from 0.15 to 0.35% improves machinability. However, sulphur at the same time decreases the mechanical properties, particularly toughness. In steel, tellurium stabilizes carbides and reduces the microporosity of the structure. Also, tellurium is now recognized as a powerful sulphur modifier as well as a machinability additive when used in combination with lead and sulphur. This work aims to determine the influence of tellurium on the machinability, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the mentioned steel.</p>

The article explores the methods and potential applications of terrestrial laser scanning technology. It also presents the preliminary results of scanning the Bijambare cave, where a georeferenced three-dimensional model of the cave's interior was created. This model, based on available data, stands as the first accurate 3D representation of a speleological object in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first section of the paper provides a brief overview of the Bijambare cave area and the laser scanning technology employed, highlighting its advantages over other geodetic measurement techniques. Subsequently, the text delves into the stages of the measurement processing, followed by an examination of the various products generated. The practical significance of these products is illustrated using the example of the Bijambare cave.

The pronoun en is usually described in the literature as an adverbial pronoun, although the adverbial value is only one of several functions in which it can appear. It is a pronoun whose use is very diverse and complex, which is best seen based on numerous syntactic functions that we will present first in this paper. Then we will emphasize the analysis of examples of its use in the corpus, which includes student works divided into three stages (PI / INT / AH). Our goal is to determine to what extent this pronoun is represented in the mentioned corpus and in which syntactic functions it appears most often, i.e., to what extent students master its use. The analysis will also include those examples in which the use of this pronoun was absent as well as those in which its use is unacceptable.

By asking the question: "What general, testable claims can be made about all media?", Marshall and Eric McLuhan (1988) sought to establish "laws of media" that could be tested, proven, or disproved by anyone, anywhere, anytime. They formulated these "laws" through four questions that can be asked upon the appearance of or regarding any human artifact/technology/media. The importance of this theory is indisputable insofar as its application can identify past, current, and at least partially predict future trends related to some human artifact/technology/media. In this paper we applied this theory to the websites/services for social networking, considering the increasingly widespread and intensive use of these sites/services in the world. Positive aspects are improved and accelerated communication and connection of people, opportunities for creative expression, association and struggle for common goals, and also earnings. The negative aspects range from a potentially bad impact on the user's mental health, pathological addiction, the increasingly difficult distinction between the real and virtual world, being trapped by filter bubbles, all the way to endangering personal data and security.

The main goal of this paper is to point out the concept of creativity in teaching, specifically creativity in the teaching of Nature and Society. Nature and society, as a subject, provide many opportunities to express the creativity that we carry within us through the role of a teacher, as well as to teach students how to be creative. The paper highlights examples of different teaching units that indicate ways to encourage creativity in students and awaken their imagination. Through teaching, through tasks that the teacher creatively devises, we encourage students to think creatively and act, in addition to acquiring knowledge more permanently and functionally. Possibilities of creating Nature and Society lessons through creative examples and experiments, as well as evaluating and measuring creativity, were presented. The work results indicated that creative teachers create their fruits, which are called creative students, that they are causally connected, and that creativity is a synonym for an expert and professional teacher.

Translating work by authors who were forced to leave their original cultural context, which provided them with a unique position of viewing their own, but also other identities – now has a new, more interesting function. Translation thus does not only search for a common space for universal recognition and understanding based on common experiences but rather communicates differences and specific local qualities as opposed to the global context. In the English translation of the collection of stories by Miljenko Jergović, Sarajevo Marlboro, a book about the lives of common people from Sarajevo before and during the siege in the nineties, a translator is in a different relation toward the readers, due to the very need to use a translation for communication. In this process, the specification can be seen as not only a translation technique but a strategy for explicitation and explanation of Bosnian & Herzegovinian cultural elements, especially those which are invisible, under the surface of the text, coded in our cultural identities. This paper analyses the translation of cultural elements of Bosnian identity, and the techniques used in their translation.

Observing through the historical prism of regional development and regionalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina, city and region of Sarajevo have special importance and significance. This is mainly due to the fact that the City of Sarajevo is the main administrative center, i.e. the center of political, economic, cultural and overall social life and development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the same time, the Sarajevo is the center of Canton of Sarajevo, the center of this macro-region, as well as it is the capital of the entity of the Federation and state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. All those facts make Sarajevo attractive both for life and business, furthermore for studying its capacity and development potentials as well. In modern economics, the regions represent an important development level, while regionalisation represent an essentional component of the political systems of the modern state. The regions have become a link between local and central (state) institutions of government and local and overall economic development of country. The Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long tradition of regionalization and regionalism. Over long time, it has gone through verious phases and forms of regionalisation depening on then chraging political order. Sarajevo as a city and the region has historicaly developed in two directions. First, towards the capital of state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the main administrative center. Secondly, towards the center of the region, i.e. the macro-region. Sarajevo macro-region is the most developed region in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of overall infrastructure and resources bacause of its normative, social importance and the position of the city itself. The territory covered by the Sarajevo macro-region has significant natural resources, energy potentials, as well as resources for the development of industry. Truistically, along with Mostar, it is a most impressive destination for tourists. Nevertheless, this macroregion still does not fully exploit the resources available to it, due to the many limitations and obsticles that directly affect it and that require adequate resolution.

Važan preduvjet za unaprjeđenje proizvodnje trešnje pored odabira sorte i podloge s dobrim pomološkim karakteristikama je i procjena potrebe za navodnjavanjem, kao način na koji će se ono i obavljati. U radu su prikazani rezultati dvogodišnjih poljskih pokusa (2018.-2019), s ciljem utvrđivanja utjecaja režima navodnjavanja i sorte, te njihove interakcije na prinos i masu ploda. Ispitivane su tri sorte trešnje različitih razdoblja zriobe (Burlat, Skeena, Sweet heart), cijepljene na slabo bujnu podlogu Gisela 5, uzgajane na tlu Eutrični kambisol. Rezultati su pokazali da je sorta Skeena u 2018. godini imala najveću prosječnu masu ploda (11,68 g) i prinos (9,64 kg/stablu), dok je u 2019. godini imala najmanji prosječan prinos (3,05 kg/stablu). Sorta Burlat u 2019. godini je imala najmanju prosječnu masu ploda (7,36 g). Korelacijskom analizom utvrđena je statistička značajnost režima navodnjavanja na ispitivane parametre promatranih sorti trešnje.

This study investigated the effect of red corn in the feed mixture of dairy goats on production traits, blood metabolic profile, and antioxidative status. The study was conducted on 30 French Alpine dairy goats. The feed mixture for the goats in the control group (CC) contained yellow corn (100%). In the first experimental group (RC50), yellow corn was partially (50%) replaced by red corn (RC), and in the second experimental group (RC100), yellow corn was completely (100%) replaced by red corn. No significance variations (p > 0.05) were determined in production traits of dairy goats between dietary treatments. A significant increase in hemoglobin (84.43, 100.00 and 106.55 g/L), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (7.98, 9.70 and 12.54 pg), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (293.57, 357.50 and 462.78 g/L) was found in the RC groups, and a decrease in erythrocytes in the RC100 compared with the RC50 group of goats (from 8.71 to 10.45 × 1012 L). A significant increase in blood superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the RC groups was found (0.29, 0.53, and 0.44 U/mL). The results indicate maintaining production traits and a moderate effect on blood metabolic profile (most hematologic parameters) as well as a positive antioxidative effect RC.

Uvidi u konsultirane recentne izvore pokazali su povezanost doživljenog i počinjenog vršnjačkog nasilja. Cilj istraživanja bio je da se na temelju stavova osnovnoškolaca i srednjoškolaca istraže osobenosti doživljenog i počinjenog vršnjačkog nasilja u osnovnoj i srednjoj školi na području Unsko-sanskog kantona. Od istraživačkih metoda korištene su metoda teorijske analize i deskriptivno-analitički survey metod, a od istraživačkih tehnika anketiranje i skaliranje. Od istraživačkih instrumenata korišteni su Upitnik o socio-demografskim podacima i Skala vršnjačkog nasilja. Istraživački uzorak, koji je po svojoj prirodi bio slučajni stratificirani, činilo je 300 osnovnoškolaca i 300 srednjoškolaca s područja Unsko-sanskog kantona. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali: kod djece i mladih statistički značajno je veće doživljeno od počinjenog vršnjačkog nasilja; srednjoškolci su u većoj mjeri počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja od osnovnoškolaca; ispitanici muškog spola su u statistički značajno većoj mjeri doživjeli i veći su počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja od ispitanika ženskog spola; učenici sa slabijim školskim uspjehom su u statistički značajno većoj mjeri doživjeli i veći su počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja od ispitanika s boljim školskim uspjehom; djeca i mladi koji su u većoj mjeri doživjeli vršnjačko nasilje istovremeno su u statistički značajno većoj mjeri i počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja. Izveden je zaključak kako bi rezultati istraživanja mogli biti podsticaj i osnova za kreiranje i realiziranje socijalno-pedagoških programa koji bi bili u funkciji prevencije vršnjačkog nasilja.
