We observe the relationship and causality between cryptocurrencies on one, and commodities, currencies, equity indexes and web search results on the other side. We use prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum for cryptocurrencies, prices of crude oil and gold for commodities, Euro-US Dollar, Euro-Swiss Franc exchange rates for currencies, Dow Jones Industrial Average for market index and Google Trends® data as a measure of worldwide web search results for cryptocurrencies of interest. We find that Bitcoin and web search results correlation went from highly positive to low negative during the COVID-19 period. The results of the study show that the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum can be modelled using different combinations of commodities, currencies, indexes and web search results, with web search results and Dow Jones Industrial Average exhibiting best predictive power both concurrently and one day in advance. Our best performing models were able to explain more than 95% and 90% of Bitcoin and Ethereum price variability respectively. We also find strong evidence of web search traffic impacting both Bitcoin and Ethereum prices at all tested lags, as well as some evidence of gold impact on Bitcoin and EUR/CHF impact on Ethereum.
The use of renewable energy sources is imposed as an imperative for the competitiveness and stable energy policy of companies. The basic production equipment in the "Kreka" coal mine in Tuzla has electrical plants with a total peak load of 12 MW, and the costs for electrical energy exceed €3.5 million annually. The paper analyzes the suitability of infrastructure facilities and devastated areas of the Kreka Coal Mine in Tuzla for the construction of photovoltaic power plants and the effects of such plants. The results of the analysis show a significant resource for the installation of photovoltaic power plants with a capacity of 230 MW. The production of electricity from these photovoltaic power plants enables a reduction of emissions into the air by 190 t/year of particle emissions, by 316.2 •103 t/year of CO2 emissions, by 58.15 t/year of SO2 emissions and by 251.9 t/year of emissions NOx. With the subsidized purchase of electricity, it is possible to return the investment within 6 years.
As a business function that deals with the establishment of efficient and effective processes for planning and control of the company's operations, controlling has become a crucial function of any business organization. The global changes have forced companies to very intensively and quickly adapt their operations to new market conditions, and controlling bears the most significant burden of this adaptation to global changes. To expand the scope of knowledge about controlling, this paper provides a literature review of controlling development in modern businesses, focusing on selected developed and developing countries. According to the findings of various studies, controlling is used in the majority of firms in developed economies, and his role has expanded. Existing studies support the conclusion that controlling contributes to improved business performance. Based on the literature review, the paper presents an analysis of the current state of controlling function development in companies of selected developed and developing countries, with special emphasis on Bosnia and Herzegovina, where controlling is not fully implemented with limited practical use. Therefore, some recommendations for adequate development of controlling function in Bosnia and Herzegovina and developing countries are proposed.
The physical properties of three sweet cherry cultivars grafted on Gisela 6 rootstock were studied in agroecological conditions of Blagaj, Herzegovina (southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina), during a period of two years (2020‒2021). The research included fruit and stone weight, flesh ratio, stalk length, fruit dimensions and fruit shape index) of Early Lory, Regina and Kordia cultivars. The fruits of the cultivar Kordia had the highest fruit and stone weight, flesh ratio, stalk length, fruit width as well as fruit shape index. The cultivar Early Lory had the highest fruit width and thickness. Based on the results, the cultivar Kordia showed the best results of physical properties of the fruit compared to the cultivar Early Lory and Regina.
Summary The aim of this study was to examine the effects of seaweed extract (Algaren), nettle extract and microbial biostimulant (Slavol) on total phenolics and flavonoids and antioxidant capacity of leaves of lavender ( Lavandula officinalis L.), sage ( Salvia officinalis L.) and basil ( Ocimum basilicum L.). The study was carried out in a greenhouse located in Vitez, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The experimental trial was set up in a randomized block design with four biostimulant treatments in three replications. The first application of biostimulant was carried out immediately after the transplanting of seedlings, and the second and third treatments 15 and 30 days later, respectively. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents and ferric-reducing/ antioxidant power (FRAP) assay were used to evaluate the antioxidant properties of each leaf extract. The nettle extract was found to be the most effective in increasing total phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity in leaves of studied plants. In this study, the antioxidant capacity of leaf extracts was in line with total phenolics/flavonoids, regardless of plant species and biostimulant treatments, suggesting that phenolic compounds greatly contribute to antioxidant capacity of studied plants.
The main goal of paper is to rank the criteria that are important for the selection of the most favourable supplier of the agricultural company by applying a multicriteria decision-making model. Subject of the paper is the procurement of mineral fertilizer for sowing certain field crops. As a method of work, the author uses DEMATEL (The Decision making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method of multicriteria decision making. In order to bring the research as close as possible to human thinking, the fuzzy logic of multicriteria decision-making was applied in the paper. Method is an expert assessment and ranking by experts in the field. In addition to the group of economic and technical criteria, the paper also uses criteria related to sustainable development such as environmental management system, green product, pollution and waste control, recycling and eco-product design. Results of the research show that the criteria that are from the economic group are still assessed as the most important for the decision maker. Importance of the research would be in pointing out the increase in the importance of criteria, especially those from the sustainability group according to their importance in the coming period, and the possibility of applying modern decision-making methods.
This is the issue of third volume of EFMI Inside - the official magazine of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI), founded in Lyon, France in August 2019, during “MEDINFO 2019” Conference and EFMI Council meeting. In this issue readers can find important information about events organized during 2022 by EFMI Working Groups and national Medical informatics associations, including the most influential Conference - 32nd MIE 2022 Conference held in Nice, France in May 2022, and EFMI STC held in Cardiff in September 22. This EFMI Inside issue contains important facts about other EFMI activities which needed to be recorded for people who couln’t be active participants at the evenings organized by EFMI and members of EFMI associatins.. Very important part of the issue is official report of the EFMI Council Secretary, Professor Alfred Winter about EFMI Council meetings during years 2020, 2021 and 2022 with included all important facts about EFMI activities during past, especialy during the mandate of Alfred Winter as Secretary from 2014 until 2022. It was the first time that all important facts about EFMI were completed at the one place and we decided to published it as some kind of historical bachground of EFMI for people who will continue managing EFMI Council and EFMI Board activities in the future.In this issue we also involved information about new elected Honorry Fellows during last three years and also obituaries about members who passed away, but their names need to be mentioned regarding its important contributions in the development of Medical informatics globaly and in its national organizatios, Some of chairs of Working Groups contributed with their reports in the past year who were actively involved in the development of Medical informatics in their countries, but also worldwide.
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are widely used to facilitate magnetic particle imaging (MPI) which has the potential to become the leading diagnostic instrument for biomedical imaging. This comparative study assesses the effects of changing iron content and excitation frequency on point-spread function (PSF) representing the effect of magnetization reversal. PSF is quantified by features of interest for MPI: i.e. gradient amplitude and full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM). A superparamagnetic quantifier (SPaQ) is used to assess differential magnetic susceptibility of two commercially available MNPs: Synomag ® -D50 and Synomag ® -D70. For both MNPs, the signal output depends on increase in drive field frequency and amount of iron oxide, which might be hampering the sensitivity of MPI systems that perform on higher frequencies. Nevertheless, there is a clear potential of Synomag ® -D for a stable MPI resolution, especially in case of 70 nm version, that is independent of either drive field frequency or amount of iron oxide.
