The use of contemporary information technologies is required to increase a country's competitiveness. Cloud computing represents one of the newer solutions in the IT industry, which has been rapidly evolving on a global scale in recent years. In light of this, the competitiveness of countries in the use of cloud computing is examined in this paper. A multi-criteria analysis was used to investigate this, utilizing the standard deviation and the simple additive method. The weight of the applications covered by the Eurostat survey was determined by the standard deviation, and the countries were ranked based on their use of cloud computing in their companies using a simple additive method. The findings revealed that cloud computing is most commonly used by Danish companies, while it is least common in Poland. Furthermore, the findings indicate that Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is ranked eighth in terms of cloud computing use, while the Republic of Serbia is ranked twenty-eighth. This paper concluded that companies should use cloud computing as much as possible to improve competitiveness and reduce business costs while maintaining all of the necessary programmers for good business management.

Half a century ago, the author of this paper, a recent graduate, received an exchange scholarship from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a research visit to Belgrade on the subject of self-management and the theory of the state. At that time, the central, and by no means merely theoretical, problem of Yugoslavian society was how to respond to the impact of the market on the system of self-management. In addition to the production structure, this question also affected the relations between the republics and the political centre of the state. Two serious crises were to be decided by the decisive intervention of the charismatic leader, who put an authoritarian model from another era back into force. The young scholar observed and did not understand much, but in return became familiar with a lively and hospitable city. Critical reflections would come in the years to follow.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought an unexpected level of uncertainty worldwide. However, not everyone responds to uncertainty in the same way. This study examines the fundamental constructs of entrepreneurship - entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial alertness - in the context of the new uncertainty created by the pandemic. The study design included the CAWI method and a sample of students from two higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Consistent with previous studies, the research results confirmed a strong positive relationship between entrepreneurial alertness and the main elements of the theory of planned behaviour. The final model shows a partial mediation effect of attitude and control variables in the relationship between evaluation and judgement (the dimension of entrepreneurial alertness) and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, the results suggest that pandemic-induced uncertainty is not related to individuals' decisions to start a business. However;the perception of the pandemic as a threat may increase individuals' willingness to be alert. The results are discussed, considering entrepreneurial intention and alertness as predictors of entrepreneurial behaviour and their sensitivity to current environmental uncertainty.

This paper presents different approaches to the concept of authenti- city in the context of applied linguistics and foreign language teaching. For decades, this term has been associated only with language material used in the classroom (reductionist definition), but recent studies highlight its conceptual diversification and conclude that it is determined by other, mostly contextual factors, as well as participants in interaction. Therefore, in modern approaches to foreign language teaching, the emphasis is on a dynamic and integrated approach to the concept of authenticity (Newby, 2000), where genuine input and genuine participatory tasks promoted by teachers generate students’ genuine output who thus authenticate them in the process of interaction that is situationally determined. Consequently, as a result, the notion of authenticity is reconceptualized: it is no longer an absolute category but can be considered as a pragmatic phenomenon (Shomoossi & Ketabi 2007) and a construct generated in the socio-contextual continuum (Pinner 2014, 2016), so it is viewed holistically and applies to various aspects and actors in the process of foreign language learning.

Morocco has implemented various economic policies during the last decades. If the level of growth and the modernization seems relevant, the social programs were not efficient against poverty. During and now after the pandemic, an acceleration of the reforms seems to be considered by the authorities. This paper will analyze what was done and what the main challenges are for this country.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the association between heart function among obese patients and Type D personality to predict the potential risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Overall, 30 obese patients were evaluated for the DS14 score. Body mass with body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured before and after a 3-month period. Half of the subjects had been instructed to exercise 4-times weakly (walking 5 km/h) for an hour, the other half did not exercise. Additionally, STAX-1, SWLS, and QOLLTI-P questionnaires had been used. All participants had a normal CRP and sedimentation rate at the enrolment and after 3-month follow up. None of the psychological tests (STAX-1, SWLS and QLLTI-P) showed statistical difference in results between June and October. Participants who exercised showed lower HR compared to participants who did not exercise. Obese patients with high DS14 score showed reduced HRV as an additional risk factor for the future cardiovascular and other stress-related diseases. Type D personality was associated with an increased risk of CHD proved by the HRV measures when the individual was not exercising. Thus, individual personality in fact correlates to autonomic regulation of the heart.

Over the last decades, globalization has brought many positive effects for the companies operating overseas including exposures to new cultures and belief systems. However, such international exposure has also brought certain problems in terms of cultural differences from different markets. Expatriates (international managers) when running international operations and managing foreign teams come across many obstacles caused by differences in national cultural systems, therefore it is important to have a good understanding how cultures differ from each other and what is the best way to approach each one of them in the right way. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine how intercultural differences affect human resource management in an international context and how expatriates should adapt their leadership styles to the requirements of local markets. Moreover, the paper elaborates on differences between domestic and international management styles and on the differences between leadership styles across different regions.

Illegal waste landfills are a current problem facing a large number of countries. In order to control and better manage illegal landfills, it is necessary to know the updated locations and contents of illegal landfills. Remote sensing methods have proven to be extremely effective in the automated detection of potential sites of illegal landfills. This paper focuses on the experimental testing of different values of the segmentation scale parameter of the Pleiades 1B satellite image in the function of detecting illegal landfills in the area of Novo Sarajevo municipality. In this case, the optimal value of the scale parameter is considered to be the value that gives the highest accuracy of classification and whose segments best correspond to the real situation on the ground.
