Abstract Although forensic accounting is a relatively young scientific discipline, it will certainly be one of the most sought after areas in the coming period, and it is important that activities be undertaken for its development and improvement as soon as possible.
Abstract Fraud in accounting, as well as falsification of financial statements, has a long history, and in recent years their scale has been growing and with much more serious consequences. Decisions made by investors and other users of financial statements based on erroneous financial information cause enormous damage to users of financial information, but also to the general public. Many major financial frauds are only detected when companies reach the point of financial collapse, in a situation where it is difficult to do something to repair major damages.
The goal of this research is to evaluate the effects of applied kinesiological activities of different extensions on the transformation of basal-motor abilities of boys. The sample of respondents is represented by boys, students of VII, VIII and IX grades of primary school. „21. March "Matuzići - Doboj South. The total sample consists of a set of 76 respondents classified into three distinct groups. Based on the boys' statements about their participation in everyday physical activities, groups with the numbering were defined through non-athletes: non-athletes-1, recreational athletes-2 and athletes-3. To assess the basic motor skills of the respondents, the variables according to the Eurofit battery test program were used, as follows: Flamingo balance, endurance in the joint, lying-sitting, running 10 × 5m (back and forth), hand tapping, hand dynamometry, flexibility-mobility at the hip joint, jumping away from the spot and running 20m back and forth with progressive acceleration. The results of univariate covariance analysis showed high significance in endurance assessment tests (SHATL 20 and SHATL 10 × 5), followed by static arm strength (MSSIZG), and hand strength (MSSDIN) and torso flexibility (MFLPRK) and balance (MRFLAM). Statistically significant differences in effects did not occur with the three variables, namely hand tapping ( MBFTAR), long jump (MESSDM) or squat-sitting (MRSLSJ).

Background: Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Blood pressure control rates are as low as 17% to 31% in patients diagnosed with hypertension in high-income countries; control rates are likely poorer in low- to middle- and low-income countries. Blood pressure control rates are as low as 17% to 31% in patients diagnosed with hypertension in high-income countries; control rates are likely poorer in low- to middle- and low- income countries. Overall, 43% to 66% of patients fail to adhere to their prescribed antihypertensive medications, and after 1 year, ≈40% of patients with hypertension may stop their initial drug treatment. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of single pill combination antihypertensive drugs on the adherence to treatment, blood pressure control and cardiovascular events vs. free-combination therapy. Methods: We enrolled 192 adult hypertensive patients not older than 79 years, with untreated or uncontrolled hypertension despite previously receiving free combination antihypertensive therapy, between November 2020 and March 2022. Patients treated with single pill combination (SPC) were compared with an arm of the same size (n = 96) and matched by age and gender who received a standard free combination (FC) antihypertensive therapy. Results: There were significant reductions from baseline to month 6 of follow-up in office SBP in the SPC group vs. reduction in FC group (21.9 vs. 13.1 mmHg; p < 0.0001). There were significant reductions from baseline to month 6 of follow-up in office DBP in the SPC group vs. group with free-combination therapy (13.7 vs. 8.0 mmHg; p < 0.0001). At 6 months, 94 participants (98%) were still prescribed the SPC therapy. At the final 6-month study visit, 84.2% of patients in the SPC therapy group were adherent to the prescribed antihypertensive therapy vs. 52% of patients in the FC group. Target BP values (mean 24h ambulatory systolic/diastolic BP < 130/80 mmHg) were reached by more recipients of SPC than free-combination therapy (78.2% vs. 46.3%, p < 0.05) at month 6 of follow-up. Conclusion: Treatment with single pill combinations (SPC), is the emerging best practice for safe, effective, rapid, and convenient hypertension control. It improves the affordability, adherence and control of arterial hypertension.
We examine differences between students in physical activity levels at the University of Tuzla. Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ long form). Results of the Mann-Whitney U test for physical activity assessment shows that male students achieved higher levels of physical activity at a statistically significant level in four out of a total of seven variables. Keywords: students, physical activity, IPAQ
Measuring scientific impact has long become a fact of academic life. Better scholarly output is related to higher chances of being promoted and winning a research grant. There are numerous ways to measure scholarly impact, such as through the number of publications and citation analysis. The most widely used databases for assessing these metrics are Google Scholar (GS), Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS). The goal of the present paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of GS profiles and to compare GS metrics with different metric indices from Scopus and WoS. An additional goal is to do a qualitative analysis of profiles that were identified as outliers through the visual inspection of various metric indices ratios. The sample for this study consisted of 100 researchers from the University of Sarajevo with highest number of citations according to their GS profiles. The results of this study indicated a high correlation between different metric indices. Outlier analysis revealed several errors in GS profiles, some of which are attributable to GS algorithms. An in-depth analysis of outliers provided important data for identifying limitations of all metrics currently used in researcher’s evaluation. We conclude the article with several suggestions on how to improve the evaluation of individual scholar’s research output.
The aim of the study was to assess gross motor skills between boys and girls of preschool and primary school age. The study included a total sample of 83 respondents (49.3% boys) with an average chronological age of 6.14 ± 2.25 years. The Test of Gross Motor Development–3rd Edition (TGMD-3) was used to verify the set research goal. Research data were analyzed by the method of parametrical statistics. To determine the differences in gross motor skills between boys and girls, t-test was used for an independent sample of respondents. Based on the obtained research results, it can be concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between boys and girls on the locomotor and “Ball skills” subtest. Although no statistically significant differences were recorded, generally, boys achieve better results on the subtest “Ball skills” compared to girls. It is suggested that intervention programs be designed to improve girls' performance in ball skills. Key words: Children, TGMD-3, Locomotor, Ball skills, Gender.
Background: Periodontal complications are one of the common side effects associated with orthodontic therapy. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the periodontal changes in patients before, during, and after the therapy with a fixed orthodontic appliance. Methods: Out of 38 healthy adolescents with permanent dentition who were indicated for fixed orthodontic therapy were included in this study. Patients were selected from Class I, treated by non-extraction methods, by using conventional orthodontic braces. After their examination and treatment by an orthodontist, the patients were referred to the periodontist before the placement of a fixed orthodontic appliance. The patients underwent the application of a periodontal anamnestic-diagnostic protocol, and the clinical-radiological evaluation. After a fixed orthodontic appliance was placed, the respondents were referred to the periodontist for regular mandatory check-ups, initially, after three months, and later on-after 6 months, after 1 year and after 2 years until the end of orthodontic therapy. Results: An increase in the mean value of the Plaque Index and Sulcus Bleeding Index was found at each check-up after the placement of a fixed orthodontic appliance. There is a statistically significant difference in the presence of gingival hyperplasia found by monitoring the changes after three and six months, and after one and two years following the start of orthodontic therapy. Conclusion: The assessment of periodontal changes in patients before, during and after the completion of fixed orthodontic therapy revealed that there is a strong need for mutual and close cooperation between orthodontist and periodontist during orthodontic therapy.
Juvenile cystic adenomyoma (JCA) is a rare uterine pathology with <40 cases reported in the current literature since 1996 when Tamura described it. We report a 13-year-old girl with a history of chronic pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea for 12 months. After diagnostic evaluation and identification of the cystic structure ( ∼ 6 cm) within the myometrium, fertility-sparing surgery was successfully performed. Histopathological examination of the uterine cyst was consistent with the diagnosis of JCA. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was disease-free three years after surgery. JCA is a rare condition but should be considered in the differential diagnosis in adolescents with moderate to severe dysmenorrhea. Despite diagnostic advances, the awareness of the disorder remains low. Thus, our case report aims to increase awareness of this rare pathology with unclear etiology.
Due to the lack of channel reciprocity in frequency division duplexity (FDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, it is impossible to infer the downlink channel state information (CSI) directly from its reciprocal uplink CSI. Hence, the estimated downlink CSI needs to be continuously fed back to the base station (BS) from the user equipment (UE), consuming valuable bandwidth resources. This is exacerbated, in massive MIMO, with the increase of the antennas at the BS. This paper propose a fully convolutional neural network (FullyConv) to compress and decompress the downlink CSI. FullyConv will improve the reconstruction accuracy of downlink CSI and reduce the training parameters and computational resources. Besides, we add a quantization module in the encoder and a dequantization module in the decoder of the FullyConv to simulate a real feedback scenario. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed FullyConv is better than the baseline on reconstruction performance and reduction of the storage and computational overhead. Furthermore, the FullyConv added quantization and dequantization modules is robust to quantization error in real feedback scenarios.
