Mushroom production has become more popular in our environment. The most common cultivated mushroom is Agaricus bisporus. After mushrooms are harvested a large amount of used compost remains. This compost is a good material and producers used it as alternative substrate in plant production. The benefits of this compost are numerous like high content of organic matter and the rich mineral composition. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of spent mushroom compost (as alternative substrate) on growth and development of roots and above-ground parts of sage transplants (Salvia officinalis L.). Measurements of morphological parameters of plants (plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and plant diameter) were performed, as well as determination of fresh and dry weight of roots and above-ground parts of transplants. Application of spent mushroom substrate in the production of sage Salvia officinalis L. positively influenced growth and development as well as fresh and dry weight of roots and above-ground parts of treated plants compared to nontreated plants during transplanting growing stage. Plant height (+104%), number of leaves (+65%), number of branches (+143%), plant diameter (89%), were significantly increased by the spent mushroom compost application compared to the control - commercial substrate.

In order to ensure that risky assets are covered by the bank's capital, the regulator has prescribed a minimum capital adequacy ratio (CAR). The prescribed CAR, which in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is 12%, represents the ability of banks to absorb losses caused by bad placements, expressed as the ratio of capital and risk assets of the bank. The sample of this research was performed at the level of the whole banking system of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The primary goal of this paper is to try to identify exogenous and endogenous factors that affect the capital sensitivity of banks operating in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research is focused on the period from 2014-2020, every quarter, and the research will explain descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The research estimated two regression models, assumptions were checked and the obtained results were interpreted. The results of the first model showed that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between the leverage rate and the capital adequacy ratio, and a statistically significant negative correlation between the GDP growth rate and the capital adequacy ratio. The second model confirmed that there is a negative statistically significant correlation between the variables return on average assets (ROAA), total income / average assets (UPPA), net interest income / average assets (NIM) with the capital adequacy ratio.

Background: Amniocentesis (AC) is the most commonly used invasive prenatal test. The aim of this study was to determine which were the most common indications for AC, chromosomal abnormalities in relation to the age of the mother and complications as a result of AC. Methods: This is a retrospective thirteen-year cohort study including pregnant women who underwent AC in the period from 2008 to 2020. Patients were divided into two groups: below and above 35 years of age of mother at the time of AC. Results: During study period 2213 AC were performed, out of which 759 (34.29%) were in mother below, and 1454 (65.70%) above 35 years of age (p < 0.00001). The most common indication for AC in group above 35 years of age was advanced maternal age (93.9%), in group below 35 years of age was familial chromosomal diseases (29.91%). In all indications there is a statistically significant difference between the two age groups of pregnant women, all these indications are more prevalent in the group of pregnant women younger than 35 years (p < 0.00001). The most common chromosomal abnormalities in both groups was Down syndrome from numerical aberrations, and from structural inversion of chromosome 9. Short term complications were spontaneous abortion in 26 (1.17%), missed abortion in 4 (0.18%) and premature rupture of membranes in 4 (0.18%) cases. Conclusion: Advanced maternal age, demonstrated the strongest association with the uptake of AC, trisomy 21 was the most prevalent abnormal finding. Complications of AC are not significant compared to the general population of pregnant women.

U višestoljetnom razvoju parlamentarizma i predstavničke demokratije parlamenti su predstavljali ključne institucije borbe za demokratiju i ljudska prava. Uloga parlamenata je posebno značajna u zemljama postsocijalističke tranzicije koje nemaju dugu demokratsku tradiciju. Parlamentarna skupština Bosne i Hercegovine čini centralnu instituciju predstavničke/parlamentarne demokratije u Bosni i Hercegovini. Osobina neposredne povezanosti parlamenta i građana instituciji Parlamentarne skupštine Bosne i Hercegovine daje poseban i veći demokratski značaj od drugih institucija političke vlasti. Iskustva drugih država pokazuju da su za upostavljanje i funkcionisanje demokratskog i uticajnog parlamenta potrebne odgovarajuće društveno-ekonomske, političke i kulturne pretpostavke, kao što su: društvena homogenost u pogledu temeljnih vrijednosti, razvijeno civilno društvo, te odgovarajući stepen konsenzusa i integralnosti unutar paralementarnih stranačkih elita. U kojoj mjeri je Parlamentarna skupština Bosne i Hercegovine učinkovita u ostvarivanju predstavničke i nadzorne funkcije? Kako ostvaruje funkciju legitimnosti i učinkovitosti u donošenju zakona i rješavanju društvenih konflikata? Da li je Parlamentarna skupština Bosne i Hercegovine kao najviši zakonodavni organ stvarni nosilac parlamentarne suverenosti? Kakva su iskustva razvoja parlamentarizma i predstavničke demokratije u postdejtonskom političkom razvoju države Bosne i Hercegovine? To su osnovna pitanja koja su predmet elaboracije u ovom radu. Obzirom da političke institucije oblikuju i političku kulturu, cilj ovog rada je i dopuniti određene prijedloge za izmjenu izbornog zakonodavstva kako bi Parlamentarna skupština Bosne i Hercegovine učinkovitije ostvarivala ustavne nadležnosti i svoju demokratsku funkciju.

A avaliação de comportamento de tanques acoplados é de grande interesse industrial, por normalmente estarem presentes em várias partes diversos processos, como por exemplo, em empresas petroquímicas, de celulose ou tratamento de água. Este trabalho busca modelar um sistema de tanques em série a partir das medições feitas em uma unidade piloto do curso de engenharia química da UFCG. O projeto é constituído por dois tanques em série, um reservatório de alimentação e uma bomba centrífuga que é responsável pela alimentação do primeiro tanque. Para a modelagem do sistema foram adotadas duas abordagens: a lei de Ohm e a primeira lei da termodinâmica aplicada a sistemas abertos. A partir da análise dos resultados, observa-se a clara aderência dos dados experimentais através de validação estatística.
