The focus of this study is a spatial analysis of the industry distribution and concentration, on the example of municipality of Tesanj (Bosnia and Herzegovina), based on the application of GIS methods. Municipality of Tesanj is one of the most developed municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Tesanj?s industry significantly contributes to the economic development of this country. GIS analysis of industry was based on the field work, locating and georeferencing industrial companies, acquisition, adaptation, adjustment and validation of digital surface models and google satellite imagery, mapping of relief, hydrography and transport network. With the aim of geovisualization of spatial distribution of industry, spatial descriptive statistics and non-parametric density estimation analysis (Kernel Density Estimation) were performed. In order to determine the distribution of industry in relation to relief (elevation, slope, and aspect), hydrography and transport network, GIS techniques of reclassification, vectorization, count point in polygons, buffer and clip geoprocessing tools were used. Conducted research provided a new insight into the data mining and visualization based on principles of QGIS, the effects of geographic factors on industry distribution, and confirmed the importance of relief, hydrographic and transport network on the concentration of industry in municipality Tesanj.

The paper researches the landscape transformation of the surface mines of the Đurđevik coal basin (northeastern Bosnia region), where 35.24 Mt of brown coal were produced in the past 74 years, and 227.40 Mm3 of overburden was excavated and disposed of. This type of coal exploitation caused the formation concave and convex of anthropogenic relief forms which ultimately led to significant landscape transformation. These transformations were identified and geovisualized on the basis of field research and comparative GIS analysis of archival maps, satellite images, Digital Elevation Models and plans of this area. As a result of the research, especially comparative GIS analysis of two prepared terrain models of surface mines, the transformation of hypsometry, slope and aspect, hydrographic network, pedological as well as vegetation cover were determined. Obtained geospatial data are geo-visualized in QGIS, and as a result, thematic maps were created to provide insight into the essence of transformations. Therefore, established indicators of landscape transformation can serve as a significant factor in planning the revitalization and land re-cultivation of devastated areas in the Đurđevik coal basin.

Introduction/Objective. The diffuse axonal injury has a very important place in clinical and forensic aspects of neurotraumatology. A special challenge is proving it in situations of short survival (less than two hours) after a craniocerebral injury. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of beta-amyloid precursor protein (?APP) immunohistochemical staining in postmortem diagnosis of axonal injuries in head injury survival shorter than two hours, its expression and distribution through the brain tissue of the deceased. Methods. 36 adult fatalities, both sexes, injured by acceleration-deceleration mechanisms were divided into two groups: died up to two hours and died more than two hours after the injury. Immunostaining of brain tissue samples (frontal parasagittal white mass, genu and splenium of the corpus callosum and rostral pons) was used to register ?APP positivity. Data were processed by methods of descriptive and inferential nonparametric statistics, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. The ?APP immunopositivity was shown in 88.9% of cases (82.3% of ? two hours group vs. 94.7% of > two hours group). ?APP expression was enhanced towards the posterior structures of the brain. The shortest survival period with detected ?APP immunopositivity was 20-25 minutes, in three cases. There was an association of ?APP expression in the brainstem and interhemispheric/paramesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (p = 0.035). Conclusion. ?APP immunohistochemical staining is effective in proving diffuse axonal injury in casualties that survived less than half an hour. Interhemispheric/paramesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage may indicate a more severe form of axonal injury.

In this paper, the tradeoff between spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) is investigated in terms of interference management and power allocation for heterogeneous networks (HetNets) with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). The EE and SE tradeoff is modeled as a multi-objective problem (MOP) under the maximum power and quality of service (QoS) constraints, which is non-convex. The MOP is relaxed into a convex single objective problem (SOP) by adopting a weighted sum strategy with the hypograph transformation. The SOP is solved in two steps. In the first step, we propose a power allocation technique based on non-cooperative (NC) game for EE and SE in NOMA HetNets. In the proposed NC game, the macro base station (MBS) and the small BSs (SBSs) compete with an equal priority in order to optimize their transmit powers towards maximizing the weighted sum of SE and EE. In the second step, a closed-form formula is proposed to control the power allocated to users taking into account both QoS constraint and successive interference cancellation (SIC) condition. From simulations, the proposed technique can, in some dedicated settings, considerably improve the tradeoff between EE and SE over conventional techniques.
