Applications and their underlying network largely operate in isolation, passing data back and forth. For several use cases, such isolation is no longer desirable. Tighter application-network (APP-NET) interactions can lead to a better allocation of network resources for meeting application performance guarantees. Vice versa, applications can become more adaptive to the underlying network context. In this paper, we present the design of an APP-NET interface where applications become able to pass traffic and monitoring requirements to the network and where networks are empowered to share monitoring and feedback information to the applications. The presented design is evaluated for two different use cases, illustrating the potential gains in functionality or performance compared to situations where such application-network interaction is absent.

The urban microclimate is gradually changing due to climate change, extreme weather conditions, urbanization, and the heat island effect. In such an altered environment, outdoor thermal comfort can have a strong impact on public health and quality of life in urban areas. In this study, three main urban areas in Serbia were selected: Belgrade (Central Serbia), Novi Sad (Northern Serbia), and Niš (Southern Serbia). The focus was on the temporal assessment of OTC, using the UTCI over a period of 20 years (1999–2018) during different seasons. The main aim is the general estimation of the OTC of Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Niš, in order to gain better insight into the bioclimatic condition, current trends and anomalies that have occurred. The analysis was conducted based on an hourly (7 h, 14 h, and 21 h CET) and “day by day” meteorological data set. Findings show the presence of a growing trend in seasonal UTCI anomalies, especially during summer and spring. In addition, there is a notable increase in the number of days above the defined UTCI thresholds for each season. Average annual UTCIs values also show a positive, rising trend, ranging from 0.50 °C to 1.33 °C. The most significant deviations from the average UTCI values, both seasonal and annual, were recorded in 2000, 2007, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2018.

Background Severe thoracic trauma (TT) has a significant impact on the selection of treatment strategy in patients with polytrauma. Our aim was to assess the impact of severe TT on choosing the optimal surgical procedure to decrease mortality. Material/Methods Overall, 66 patients with polytrauma and significant TT were analyzed. Demographic data, trauma history, admittance imaging, injury details, injury severity scores, conservative treatment, surgical treatment, days of hospital stay, and mortality data were gathered. Frequencies of thoracic surgical procedures and other treatments were collected and compared with those in the literature. Results All patients had Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) scores of thorax >3. Injuries to extremities and/or the osseous pelvis accounted for 50% of injuries; 47.0% included the head and/or neck; 45.5% were external injuries; and 27.3% were abdominal injuries or included pelvic organs and/or lumbar spine. Mean prehospital time was 40.3 min. Mean time from trauma occurrence to tertiary treatment was 125 min. Blunt TT (BTT) was recorded in 59 patients (89.4%), and penetrant TT (PTT) was recorded in 7 patients (10.6%). Thoracic drainage, urgent thoracotomy and laparotomy were recorded procedures. The mean Injury Severity Score (ISS) of all patients was 31.17. Nine patients died (13.6%) and had BTT with a mean ISS of 48.44. The Trauma Injury Severity Score for BTT injuries was 77.08% and for PTT, 85.6%. Conclusions Factors that decreased hospital stay and mortality and increased survival included arriving in time after injury, aggressive reanimation/intensive care, and mandatory thoracic surgical procedure combined with laparotomy.

The aim of this article is to address key features and the wave of new technologies that Industry 4.0 brings to Aerospace and Defense Systems. This research paper enthusiastically depicts what the future of the Aerospace and Defense industry could be while also providing information about those braves enough to already step into the world of all around digitalization. With this approach, the aim is to interconnect every step of the operation towards creating a mostly perfect environment which cuts off any human mistake and guarantees increase in revenue stream and customer satisfaction. The main method of implementation of Industry 4.0 to many industries is digitalization. Digitalization is the digital upgrade to any company or industry which, when applied correctly, guarantees nothing but success in revenue streams and customer service. This process is a complex blend of many modern technologies and implementing such a hefty upgrade might be problematic to those who have been surviving on very old business models for tens of years. Industry 4.0 is a fast-changing environment and those who are quickly adapting to this wave of change are setting themselves for success. The primary goal of this research paper is to provide an insight into the world of technology Industry 4.0 offers and how that technology could help Aerospace and Defense create a portal to the future.

Sažetak rada UDK 364.632-027.553:159-923-053.2 Ovaj rad ispituje religijsko-pedagosku perspektivu u pogledu tjelesnog i emocionalnog zlostavljanja djece.  U tom smislu se analiziraju kur'ansko-sunnetske metode discipliniranja i sankcioniranja uz karakteristike i uvjete primjene nakon odgojnog iscrpljivanja pozitivnih pedagoskih pristupa i metoda unapređivanja, ohrabrivanja, predupređivanja i sl. Ukazuje se na teorijski okvir i terminologiju koja se tice discipliniranja i sankcioniranja. Donose se primjeri poslanickog odnosa prema djeci u odgojnom kontekstu i ispravljanju gresaka kod ljudi kao egzemplar tolerantnog, empaticnog i nenasilnog odgojnog djelovanja. U radu se također kroz pedagosku prizmu prezentiraju stetne posljedice tjelesnog i emocionalnog zlostavljanja na zdravlje djece. Summary: This article analyses religious and pedagogical perspective regarding physical and emotional abuse of children. Disciplinary and sanctioning methods of Qur’an and the Sunnah  are analysed here for this purpose, however, bearing in mind characteristics and conditions which imply that these are taken as options only after all the other positive up-bringing approaches and methods like improvement, encouragement and  prevention have been exhausted. Theoretical framework and terminology pertaining to disciplinary and sanctioning measures are pointed out here as well. A model of the Messenger’s relation with children in the context of upbringing and corrective measures is presented here as an exemplary, tolerant, empathic, and non-violent upbringing method. The article also demonstrates a pedagogical view of damaging consequences of physical and emotional abuse upon children’s health.

Flood represents a temporary cover of water that submerges land, usually not covered by water, which is caused by water overflowing the watercourses. The floods that occur in the area of Zenica-Doboj Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina cause massive damage to agriculture, housing, equipment and civil engineering facilities and can be characterized as hazards. The hydrographic backbone of this Canton is the river Bosna, and the subject of research in this paper is the flood vulnerability in Zenica-Doboj Canton. The result of the work is the production of flood hazard and risk maps using GIS. Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial analysis and visual elements have been used frequently in recent years for detection of flood hazard areas and preparation of maps. GIS applications are based on a database and analysis tools which have logical and mathematical relationships between the layers. When creating the flood hazard map, in addition to GIS tools, Hec-RAS was also used as a program intended for the analysis of hydraulic calculations. The results of this paper are of great importance for spatial planning and environmental protection, starting with local communities, municipalities and the entire Canton. Key-words: Spatial analysis, the Bosnia River, Flood risk, GIS, Physical geography

In this work, we analyse character networks in the cult TV show Twin Peaks. In the small-scale community network of Twin Peaks we discovered a new storytelling network phenomenon we called the Dale Cooper Effect, a phase transition in network structure. It is a sharp demarcation between the two statistically and topologically distinct networks of characters, where the point of demarcation is the protagonist himself (Special Agent Dale Cooper) introduced as a median character.

Façade greening at the intersection between buildings and urban space offers an optimal opportunity to integrate greenery into increasingly dense cities and influence the microclimate and contribute to high quality of life in urban areas. Despite proven numerous positive effects, there is still a lack of implementation and practical relevance is low until now. To integrate existing greening systems directly into future planning processes and thus keep up with the advancing digitalization in the building sector, an integration of these systems into Building Information Modeling (BIM) is urgently needed and in connection to this, the implementation of an automated planning process to support easier realization of greening projects contributing to a sustainable urban development. Therefore, BIM objects were created for five façade greening systems after analyzing the necessary basic data. Subsequently, an automated process was used to optimize the time-consuming conventional planning process of façade greening, with the aim of evaluating the simulated greening variants based on defined parameters. A case study presents the application of the prototypes and the possible calculations over the life cycle of the building. This development holds great potential by simplifying the process of decision-making and placing façade greenery on buildings.

Sažetak UDK 341.485(497.6) Masovni zlocini pocinjeni u Bosni i Hercegovini tokom Agresije 1992–95. izvrseni su od velikog broja srpskih vojnih i policijskih snaga. Ovi zlocini pocinjeni su u skladu s politickim odlukama i politikama srpskih rukovodecih organa: u prvom redu Skupstine Republike Srpske i lokalnih “kriznih stabova“. U tom kontekstu potrebno je posmatrati pocinjene zlocine u Bosni i Hercegovini tokom Agresije. Krivicni postupci pred Međunarodnim krivicnim sudom za bivsu Jugoslaviju (MKSJ) i lokalnim sudovima, uspjesno su uklonili najznacajnije politicke, vojne i policijske zvanicnike za koje se zna da su ucestvovali u ratnim zlocinima s mjesta odlucivanja. Cilj ovog rada je da predstavi ulogu i znacaj srpskih institucija u izvrsenju masovnih zlocina u Bosni i Hercegovini.  Summary Massive scale crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1992-1995 Aggression were committed by a large number of Serbian military and police forces. These crimes were executed in compliance with political decisions and policies of Serbian top government organs: primarily the Assembly of Republic of Srpska and local “crises headquarters”. Hence, it is in this context that we shall observe the crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the aggression.  Criminal proceedings of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) have successfully removed the most significant political, military and police officials, verified to have participated in war crimes,   from the important decision-making positions. The aim of this article is to present the role and significance of Serbian institutions in executions of mass scale crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
