1. BACKGROUND 1.1. Definition and Significance of Management As there is no universally accepted definition for management, it is difficult to define it. Father of scientific management, Frederick W. Taylor gave the following definition: “Management is an art of knowing what is to be done and seeing that it is done in the best possible manner.” A more elaborate definition was given by Henri Fayol (18411925), one of the most influential contributors to modern concepts of management. He considers a management as a process that comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization or initiative to accomplish a goal (1, 2). The verb ‘manage’ comes from the Italian maneggiare (to handle, especially tools), which derives from the Latin word manus (hand). The French word mesnagement (later ménagement) influenced the development in meaning of the English word management, that literally means to conduct, control and direct the affairs of a business, institution, etc. (1). The size of management can range from one person in a small organization to hundreds or thousands of managers in multinational companies. The success of any business depends heavily on the effectiveness of its managers. The significance of management is huge to that point that some people agree that in order to evaluate a company’s current and future worth, the most important factors are the quality and experience of the managers. 1.2. The Difference between Efficiency and Effectiveness Efficiency and effectiveness are both commonly used management terms. These words, while they sound similar and start with the same letters, are often considered synonyms. Yet they both mean different things. Efficiency refers to doing things in a right manner. Scientifically, it is defined as the output to input ratio and focuses on getting the maximum output with minimum resources (1). Effectiveness, on the other hand, refers to doing Professional paper, Received: Apr 05, 2021, Accepted: Jun 23, 2021, doi: 10.5455/ijbh.2021.9.97-104, Int J Biomed Healthc. 2021; 9(2): 97-104

Days of Academy of Medical Sciences of Bosnia and Herzegovina (AMNuBiH) this year was organized together with International Academy of Sciences and Arts in Bosnia and Herzegovina (IANUBIH) in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 4th, 2021. At this conference held two meetings: Symposium with title “Sciontometry, Citation, Plagiarsim and Predatory in the Scintific Publishing” and "SWEP 2021" with title "Design of Observational Clinical Studies" (1-4). Reasons for this titles werw very frequent cases in the academic and scientific publications about four mentioned topics of the Symposium in the Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries in Balcan region, but also worldwide. Authors of the presentations at the conference came from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia, USA and Poland. Days were organized as hybrid meetings: over twenty participants have been in conference room of the hotel Holiday in Sarajevo, over 50 participants followed presentations of the conference via zoom technology. Within presenters of thir experiences in the scientific area covered by title of this conference were some of most influential scientists from Bosnia and Herzegovina who are included between 2% of authors deposited in the Stanford scientometric list, which were published several months ago. Also, some of authors are former or current Editorsin-Chiefs of indexed biomdical journals in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia (Izet Masic, Asim Kurjak, Doncho Donev, Osman Sinanovic). Also, Sylwia Ufnalska and Izet Masic are or have been members bof the European Associacion of Scince Editors (EASE) and and they have great expriences about topic of this cnference (5, 6). Participants and titles of the presentations at the Symposium “Scientometrics, Citation, Plagiarism and Predatory in Science Publishing" were as follows: News, Received: Dec 08 2021, Accepted: Dec 26, doi: 10.5455/ijbh.2021.9.300-303, Int J Biomed Healthc. 2021; 9(4): 300-303

The paper discusses the processes of implementation of digital platforms, a special group of network media, in the filed of education. The effects of platform mechanisms on established learning concepts, especially the notion of education as a common good, are critically considered. Special attention is given to the implications of ''pandemic pedagogy'' conditioned by the appearance of the disease COVID-19 on the reconfiguration of previous practices and educational institutions. The paper points to the fruitfulness of the interdisciplinary dialogue of media studies and sociology of education in the analysis of the dynamics and transformation of modern educational systems.

The attainment of reading and basic mathematical skills is one of the most important academic goals in early grades of elementary school. A plethora of studies has shown the importance of these skills to future academic achievements and professional career. The goal of this study was to determine the correlation of reading and mathematics in third-grade elementary school students in Canton Sarajevo. An additional goal was to determine if there are differences in the proportion of academic underachievement in relation to the student’s gender. The sample for this study consisted of 70 third-grade students (33 girls, 37 boys, mean age- 103,1 months, SD- 5,6 months) attending two elementary schools in Canton Sarajevo. Results of this study indicated that reading and mathematics share 25% of the variance in the scores. The cor[1]relation between reading and mathematics was r = 0,50, p<0,01. There were more boys in the category of academic underachievement in both, reading and mathematics. However, statistically significant differences in the distribution of students were present only for reading and not for mathematics. Identification of cognitive factors that contribute to reading attainment and mathematical skills will help teachers create better intervention programs. The article ends with some recommendations for teachers on how to improve these academic skills in their students><0,01.
