Deep learning (DL) is changing the way we analyze financial problems. By leveraging DL, we can build models that are significantly more efficient and accurate at identifying signs of financial distress. This work explores recent advancements in the use of DL for financial forecasting, especially on text data sourced from reports, websites, and news articles. It fills the gap in existing literature by providing a critical examination of the DL techniques in analyzing financial text to address the Financial Distress Prediction (FDP) problem, and provides key recommendations for future research. It reviews existing studies, discusses applications and limitations, and outlines future directions and challenges based on articles published between 2020 and 2025.

Define the most common bacterial isolates of urinary tract infections and the difference in the antibiotic resistance before and during the coronavirus pandemic.Methods: The study included 213 patients with a diagnosis of urinary tract infection treated at the Clinic of infectious diseases in Mostar in a two-year period, 2019 and 2021. We analyzed the incidence of urinary infections, uropathogens and antibiotic resistance.Main findings: We had total of 213 patients, more female patients, the average age was 66 and over, with the most clinical diagnosis of acute cystitis. The most common bacterial isolates were E. coli, K. pneumoniae and Entercoccus spp. We showed in 2019 decrease the incidence of E. coli and the increase in incidence of K. pneumoniae in 2021. Antibiogram results showed an increase in the antibiotic resistance in 2021 for all bacterial isolates except for K. pneumoniae.Principal conclusion: The frequency of urinary tract infections was highest in older women with the most common diagnosis of acute cystitis. The most common bacterial pathogen of urinary tract infections are E. K. pneumoniae and Enterococcus spp. as the main cause of urinary tract infections and general an increase in the antibiotic resistance of uropathogens. Key words: Antibiotic resistance, E. coli, urinary tract infections, K. pneumoniae

Introduction: Breast cancer represents a global public health challenge, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to a lack of awareness and insufficient practice of breast self-examination (BSE). This study aims to assess and compare the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of female students regarding BSE in the context of breast cancer prevention and early detection. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 2023 and included 151 female students from the Faculty of Health Studies and the Faculty of Economics and Business University of Sarajevo. The research instrument was a modified questionnaire based on an existing questionnaire from previous research and adapted to the objectives of this study. Results: The results showed that almost all participants were familiar with BSE, with no significant differences between faculties. Students from the Faculty of Health Studies were more likely to report knowing the right time for BSE (45.1%), while students from the Faculty of Economics and Business were more uncertain and relied more on information from the internet. The main reason for not performing the BSE was a lack of knowledge about the correct technique, which was most frequently stated by economics students. Nevertheless, the majority of participants (91.4%) recognized BSE as an important method for early detection of breast tumors, highlighting the need for further education to strengthen practical skills. Conclusion: The study found that although most students are aware of the importance of BSE, regular practice is low, mainly due to uncertainty about the correct technique. The results of this study show that there is a need to integrate targeted educational programs into university curricula and health promotion campaigns to reinforce preventive behaviors.

Workplace behaviors and employee outcomes, such as team functioning, job satisfaction, and intentions to leave, are crucial for healthcare quality and safety. It highlights the substantial productivity, societal, and economic costs of worker well-being. Against this backdrop, this study examines how two dimensions of organizational culture: ethical climate and perceived managerial competence, together with team support, relate to job satisfaction and turnover intention among healthcare professionals. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 430 physicians, nurses, and other clinical staff in public and private institutions across the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using established scales and structural equation modeling (SEM) in AMOS, we first verified satisfactory reliability and construct validity via exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The structural model showed that ethical organizational culture and managerial competence are positively related to team support and, directly or indirectly, to higher job satisfaction and lower turnover intention. Team support was positively related to job satisfaction and negatively related to turnover intention and significantly mediated the effects of both ethical climate and managerial competence on these outcomes. In addition, job satisfaction was strongly and negatively correlated with turnover intention, underscoring its central role in retention.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of using lisinopril tablets in the treatment of essential hypertension for a period of 12 weeks.Methods:A multicenter, observational, non-interventional, postmarketing clinical trial was conducted on adult patients older than 30 years with a diagnosis of hypertension and blood pressure values ≥ 140/90 mmHg. Patients taking lisinopril were monitored for 12 weeks, during one initial and three control examinations.Main findings: The study included 334 patients:group A-aged 30 to 59 (n=167) and group B -aged 60 and older (n=167). In the group of younger respondents, the systolic/diastolic pressure before therapy was on average 150/95 mmHg, and with the use of lisinopril therapy, decreased to an average of 130/80 mmHg after 4 weeks. For the older respondents, the systolic/diastolic pressure before therapy was on average 155/95 mmHg, while afterstarting the lisinopril therapy, it decreased to an average of 135/80 mmHg. The differences in systolic/diastolic pressure were assessed as very good, namely 70.9% in the older and 87.4% in the younger group. More patients from the elderly group (34 patients) had adverse events compared to the younger group (24 patients). Adherence was generally good. Comparison of the two groups showed better results in the younger group compared to older group, 82.6% vs 69.3%.Principal conclusion:Lisinopril showed goodefficacy and safety in reducing essential hypertension in patients. Tolerability and high adherence to lisinopril therapy was observed. Key words: Lisinopril, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure

Heart-rhythm disorders and related congenital anomalies in children often remain silent until physical activitybrings on symptoms. We report an 11-year-old girl who experienced her first signs of heart disease only after exertion. Although late detection of such anomalies can sometimes be fatal, careful clinical examination may reveal these conditions early.

Background: A doubt that occupational medicine specialists face is whether exposure to solvents is an independent risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Aim: The present study investigates the connection between the length of work experience (exposure) at workplaces that are exposed to organic volatile substances with eventual changes in the morphological structure of the liver parenchyma or laboratory parameters of liver function, and to investigate whether organic volatile substances, as an independent factor can lead to liver steatosis or changes in laboratory parameters of liver function.  Methods: A prospective study was conducted from January to April 2023. and included 62 coke industry workers who were divided into two groups of 31 workers each (experimental with workers exposed to organic volatile substances at the workplace and control with workers who were not exposed). Laboratory parameters of liver function were monitored, as well as ultrasound findings of liver parenchyma in coke industry workers undergoing examination. Exclusion criteria were known history of liver disease, blood transfusion, alcohol consumption and diabetes mellitus. Results: Changes in laboratory parameters of liver function and ultrasound findings of liver steatosis were found with high statistical significance in the workers of the experimental group, for which no statistically significant association with elevated values of lipid status was found. With diabetes as an exclusion factor and the insignificant prevalence of hypertension in the examined workers, it can be concluded that metabolic syndrome is not related to our results. During the correlation analysis, it can be concluded that organic volatile substances are an independent cause and trigger for fatty infiltration of the liver parenchyma and changes in the laboratory findings of liver function parameters. Conclusions: Exposure to organic volatile substances at the workplace as an independent factor causes liver steatosis with elevated values of laboratory parameters of liver function and it can be said that it is an independent cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. 

Understanding how water-quality models perform across different hydrological and biogeochemical contexts is essential for managing nutrient losses in agricultural catchments. This study evaluated SimplyP, a parsimonious phosphorus model, adapted to better represent Irish agricultural catchments and implemented within the flexible Mobius2 framework. Long-term, high-frequency monitoring data from the Agricultural Catchments Programme (ACP) were used for two sites: Ballycanew, a grassland catchment dominated by surface runoff, and Castledockrell, an arable, groundwater-driven catchment. Model calibration and validation were performed for streamflow (Q), suspended sediment (SS), and multiple phosphorus (P) fractions, with performance assessed using Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE). In Ballycanew, the model reproduced Q, SS, and total P load well, with weaker agreement for total reactive phosphorus (TRP), likely reflecting unaccounted point sources during low flows. In Castledockrell, performance was moderate for Q and SS, but TRP and other P fractions were not adequately captured, highlighting the need for more detailed representation of subsurface P pathways in groundwater-dominated systems. Overall, SimplyP is well-suited to surface-runoff-dominated catchments with conventional phosphorus mobilisation. Its flexible implementation in Mobius2 allows relatively straightforward modifications, such as including groundwater-mediated P processes, to extend applicability to more complex systems. High-resolution ACP datasets were crucial for identifying model strengths and limitations, supporting refinement for improved nutrient management across diverse agricultural landscapes.

Background: Coxiella burnetii is a common zoonotic pathogen that can lead not only to acute or chronic Q fever but also to post-infectious syndromes, where autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction has been suggested as a contributing mechanism. This study aimed to assess autonomic function in patients presenting with polymorphic symptoms, dysautonomia, or ME/CFS who had serological evidence of acute infection with Coxiella burnetii. Methods: A total of 156 participants were evaluated, including 100 seropositive patients and 56 matched controls. All subjects underwent standardized cardiovascular reflex tests (CART), beat-to-beat analysis of heart rate and blood pressure with baroreflex indices, 24 h Holter ECG with HRV assessment, and, in the Coxiella group, head-up tilt testing (HUTT). Results: A significantly higher prevalence of autonomic dysfunction was observed in the Coxiella group, predominantly affecting parasympathetic regulation, with abnormal CART scores, reduced LF power and baroreflex effectiveness, and a high rate of positive HUTT findings characterized by extreme blood pressure variability. Although long-term HRV measures did not differ significantly between groups, short-term indices consistently indicated ANS impairment. Conclusions: These findings suggest that Coxiella burnetii infection may trigger persistent autonomic dysfunction, potentially contributing to the development of ME/CFS and syncope in affected individuals. Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical implications.

Introduction. Obesity is a significant public health issue and a prevalent preventable nutritional disor- der. It can result from hereditary factors, prenatal conditions, environmental influences, metabolism, and lifestyle choices. This condition leads to an accu- mulation of adipose tissue and increased body mass.Aim. This study aimed to identify participants’ life- style habits, determine their nutritional status, and assess potential predictors of obesity.Methods. The cross-sectional study included 354 students from the Sarajevo High School of Medicine, of whom 236 (approximately 70%) were female. Par- ticipants were aged 14 to 18 years, with a mean age of 16.32 ± 1.74 years. The study involved collecting anthropometric data from physical education class records and administering a structured questionnaire (socio-demographic characteristics and assessment of life habits) designed for this study.Results. It was found that approximately one quarter of the subjects were overweight/obese. Unhealthy eating habits were prevalent, with around 50% of re- spondents consuming fruits and vegetables every day, 80% consuming sugar-sweetened beverages, snacks and fast food. The Pearson correlation test and linear regression determined that inappropriate eating hab- its, lack of physical activity and pronounced sedentary habits significantly affect the occurrence of excessive body mass/obesity in the subjects.Conclusion. Research shows many adolescents have unhealthy habits and obesity, which pose serious health risks. Early screening and prevention are crucial to reduce these risks and promote long-term health.

The biodiversity of the gut flora is widely accepted as a key indicator of human health. The diversity of gut flora depends on age, lifestyle, diet and the use of certain drugs, especially antibiotics. The normal flora is called the microbiota, and the entire genetic material of all microorganisms makes up the microbiome. Probiotics have functions from digesting food, absorbing nutrients to modulating immunity. The purpose of this review is to point out the importance of proper nutrition, as well as the importance of the rational use of antibiotics in order to preserve the biodiversity of the gut flora, which contributes to human health. Articles were retrieved from ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed and SciELO databases. The research was limited to articles published between 2010 and 2026. Irrational use of antibiotics disrupts the gut flora, which can cause inflammatory bowel diseases, increase intestinal permeability, impairing individual health. The use of oral probiotics with antibiotics can be important in preserving the gut microbiota, and can also help in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Taking probiotics helps build a diverse population of beneficial gut bacteria before infection occurs, so it is especially recommended to take them during the season of foodborne infections (like summer). The combination of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Saccharomyces boulardii has proven to be beneficial. After stopping oral probiotics, the microbiota continues to form depending on the diet. Biodiversity of gut flora is different in each person, although it is quite similar among family members with a common environment and diet. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier but its storing is challenging. For that reason, alternative hydrogen storage approaches are being intensively researched. Solid state storing of hydrogen in the form of ammines offers certain advantages, such as high storage capacity and relatively low toxicity. Therefore, in this work hexaammine complexes of nickel chloride and nickel bromide were prepared and investigated. Ni(NH3)6Cl2 and Ni(NH3)6Br2, were obtained by precipitation synthesis. The prepared complexes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The prepared particles are polydisperse, agglomerated and show a characteristic octahedral morphology. The samples consist solely of pure, well-crystalline, corresponding hexaamine complexes. Ni(NH3)6Br2 shows somewhat weaker nitrogen bonds with the central cation and weaker hydrogen bonds with halogen compared to Ni(NH3)6Cl2. Thermal analyses have shown that under the experimental conditions used, ammonia is released from Ni(NH3)6Cl2 in three stages, while in the case of Ni(NH3)6Br2, decomposition occurs in two stages. This difference is a consequence of the kinetic parameters of the desorption process. The maximum of the first stage of desorption occurs for the Ni(NH3)6Cl2 sample at a slightly lower temperature than for the Ni(NH3)6Br2 sample, which is attributed to thermodynamic factors.

Fragments of two Roman limestone sarcorphagi decorated with a motif of mourning Eros and mourning shepherd/ Attis Tristis from Aureus Mons (today Seone), a Roman settlement on the Upper Moesian Limes in the immediate vicinity of Singidunum , are kept in the Museum in Smederevo. The study based on documentation and preserved fragments proposes a reconstruction of these sarcophagi, researching their typology, iconography, and closest Pannonian and Upper Moesian analogy. It aspires towards a better understanding of local sarcophagus production and the influences that came from Pannonia.

The complete set of one-loop anomalous dimensions for general Effective Field Theories (EFTs) is derived using on-shell methods. Combined with previous findings for the bosonic sector, the obtained results conclude the computation of the complete set of leading order Renormalization Group Equations (RGEs) in arbitrary gauge EFTs containing scalar and fermion fields. Renormalization effects are consistently taken into account at the order $1/\Lambda^2$ in the new physics scale $\Lambda$ for all renormalizable and non-renormalizable couplings. The obtained template RGEs include operator mixing across different dimensions and are valid for arbitrary gauge groups.
