Abstract Objectives The aim of this prospective study was to correlate the Doppler ultrasonography of the uterine arteries with the Kurjak Antenatal Neurodevelopmental Test (KANET), to investigate the effect of uterine artery flow assessed by the Doppler on fetal behavior. Methods A population of 80 pregnant women in the second trimester of pregnancy was included for uterine artery Doppler (UAD) assessment. The investigation group consisted of 40 women with abnormal UAD, while the control group consisted of 40 women with normal UAD. The inclusion criteria for the investigated group were: gestation above 20 weeks, and an abnormal finding of Doppler ultrasonography of the uterine arteries. All patients underwent a KANET test and were followed up to the end of their pregnancy. Results There was a statistically significant difference in the average score of KANET tests between the two groups (9.20±3.32 vs. 13.55±2.21; p=0.001). In the first group, an abnormal flow on the side of the placenta affected the score of the KANET test (B=11.948; p=0.005), while abnormal flow on the opposite side did not affect the score of the KANET test (p>0.05). Physiological flow had no effect on the KANET test in the control group (p>0.05). Conclusions Abnormal flow affects the value of the KANET score, and can be used as one of the parameters in evaluation of probable fetal neurodevelopmental disorders.
The main goal of the paper is to determine underlying dimensions of perceived quality of maritime tourist destination´s offer. Using the purposive sampling technique, data collection was carried out from January to August 2019 in the destinations of Opatija Riviera, yielding a sample of 155 valid responses. To gain better understanding of underlying dimensions of perceived quality of maritime tourist destination´s offer, we, primarily, use exploratory factor analysis. The research findings have revealed that organization of a destination, gastronomic offer, natural resources, traffic infrastructure, destination´s cultural resources, accommodation capacities, attractions and sports activities are the main factors of perceived quality of maritime tourist destination´s offer.
The Balkan Vegetation Database (BVD; GIVD ID: EU-00-019) is a regional database, which was established in 2014. It comprises phytosociological relevés covering various vegetation types from nine countries of the Balkan Peninsula (Albania – 153 relevés, Bosnia and Herzegovina – 1715, Bulgaria – 12,282, Greece – 465, Croatia – 69, Kosovo – 493, Montenegro – 440, North Macedonia – 13 and Serbia – 2677). Currently, it contains 18,306 relevés (compared to 9.580 in 2016), and most of them (82.8%) are geo-referenced. The database includes both digitized relevés from the literature (65.6%) and unpublished data (34.5%). Plot size is available for 84.7% of all relevés. During the last four years some “header data information” was improved e.g. elevation (now available for 83.4% of all relevés), aspect (67.7%), slope (66%), total cover of vegetation (54.3%), cover of tree, shrub, herb, bryophyte and lichen layers (27.1%, 20.1%, 40.2%, 11.5% and 2.1%), respectively. Data access is either semi-restricted (65.6%) or restricted (34.4%). Most relevés (84.6%) are classified to syntaxa of different levels. The database has been used for numerous studies with various objectives from floristic, vegetation and habitat-related topics, to macroecological studies at the local, regional, national, continental and global levels. During the last four years, BVD data were requested from 111 different projects via the EVA and sPlot databases.
This study examines the specific work-related outcomes of employee engagement such as affective commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and intention to quit in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For this purpose, employee engagement was divided into job and organization engagement. We used the quantitative research instrument and the cross-sectional survey method for primary data collection. The final sample consisted of 682 usable responses. By using the hierarchical regression analysis, we found that both job and organization engagement have a positive and significant relationship with affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior, while in the case of intentions to quit, only organization engagement was negatively related. The results show that companies can achieve several benefits by focusing on employee engagement.
Reasons for writing and research problem(s): The focus on migration processes has been dramatically intensified, both internationally and nationally. Often, this phenomenon undermines national and political unity. The inspiration for exploring this phenomenon was initially related to the local demarcations about the migrant crisis. People in the movement are becoming a more frequent occurrence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and our country represents a transit destination to European countries, so it is essential to explain and shed light on the repercussions of this crisis and the (un)willingness of the state to respond to growing challenges that concern general public. Aims of the paper: The scientific aim of this paper is reflected in the description of capacities in the conditions of the migrant crisis, taking into account the structure of the political and security system, and the relations and connections between these systems. The social aim of the paper is to present findings of the migrant crisis as a security and humanitarian risk with severe potential and to get acquainted with the key characteristics and risk factors arising from the migrant crisis. Methodology/Design: Given the interdisciplinarity of this subject, to a greater or lesser extent, various general scientific methods are used, primarily the hypotheticaldeductive method and the analytical-deductive method, the method of scientific findings, and the method of analyzing the content of documents, events and testimonies in terms of analysis coordination and readiness of relevant actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Research/paper limitation: Tracking migratory movements requires considerable resources, infrastructure and IT/knowledge systems, therefore B&H's ability to collect, administer, analyze and report data on mobility, migration flow is often uneven and limited. Results/Findings: In Bosnia and Herzegovina, different attitudes and approaches to the phenomenon of migrations are evident. In other words, authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina do not apply harmonized migration policy. General conclusion: Findings presented in this paper can contribute to a broader understanding of the framework of the dichotomy between the security (state78 Criminal Justice Issues Year XX, Issue 5, 2020. Hodžić – Understanding the Migrant Crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina centric) approach and the humanitarian (human-centric) approach of the migrant crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Abstract Jacopo Berengario da Carpi was Renaissance-era physician, surgeon, and anatomy lecturer who transformed medieval anatomy and surgery—which were, at the time, dominated mostly by religious dogma—into a modern science based on direct observation, experience, and cadaveric dissection. He was an accomplished and innovative neuroanatomist and educator, a prolific researcher and publisher, and a successful practicing surgeon who treated the head injuries of many renowned patients of that period. He published a landmark commentary on skull fractures that was the first printed book in history devoted to head injuries, which became a model of new medical understanding. Nonetheless, Berengario’s achievements in anatomy, medicine, neuroanatomy, and what would later become neurotraumatology and neurosurgery, would have been more widely known had his work and research not been surpassed by Andreas Vesalius and Ambroise Paré, both of whom advanced anatomic and medical knowledge even further. In this historical vignette, we discuss the political conditions of sixteenth Century Italy and pay a homage to Berengario da Carpi, emphasizing his work in establishing neuroanatomy as a field of medicine that became a precursor to modern neuroscience. We also describe the improvements he made in neurotraumatology technique and instrumentation, and his explanations of skull fractures and other brain injuries outlined in ground-breaking clinical books he published. Finally, we try to elucidate possible reasons why his scientific and professional achievements—despite of their enormous impact—were overshadowed by the achievements of his more famous immediate successors.
Starting from the importance of risk perception for taking certain preventive measures to protect people and their property from disasters, the subject of the research is to examine the factors influencing public perception of mythically-based human behavior in disaster conditions. Using the random sampling method, 250 adult respondents were surveyed in the city of Belgrade, using a specially created and adapted survey questionnaire. The results of the research show that there is no statistically significant influence of gender, age, educational and economic factors on the public perception of human behavior in disaster conditions. The results of the research can be used to improve strategies and campaigns based on risk assessment, aimed at improving the safety of people in disasters.
Although the most prominent material in contemporary construction practice due to its obvious advantages, concrete possesses a number of drawbacks. One of the advantageous principles for decades is to enable a large scale on-site application of this material with acceptable properties, needed to withstand specific conditions. A concept of 3d printing concrete presents a promising ground for further improvement of this principle. While maintaining as much as possible of the prerequisite and common properties to answer the construction demands, this material has to evolve as much as possible to fulfill the 3d concept, which would, in turn, pave a way for the next level of its construction applications. This paper presents the main principles of 3d printing concrete, by discussing the main goals and the drawbacks that have to be solved prior to wider application. Also, one specific facility- wind tower will be reconsidered as a potentially promising ground for this old construction material dressed in a new suit.
Due to the Portland cement chemical reaction, which always takes place in a hardening concrete, a certain amount of heat is released. This heat should be quantified, as it can harm or aid the concrete itself, depending on the concrete components, structure element, ambient and building site conditions. There are number of possible setups for the monitoring of heat of hydration, two of which have been applied in the case presented in this paper. Four concretes were monitored with the use of the two stated techniques for 24 hours. First technique used is thermo-vision camera which monitored the surface, and the second is thermosensor - used for monitoring of interior of fresh concrete hardening mass. The potential of the applied setup lays in the ease of installation, low price, and possibilities of mass application, which could substantially aid the monitoring and prevent concrete failure.

In the period between April 6, 1992 and December 14, 1995, an estimated 102,622 people were found to have died due to war-related causes in armed conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Of those killed in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina it is estimated that 54% were civilians. The war profoundly affected the civilian population, which was subjected to mass killings, the systemic use of rape and sexual violence, and the physical and psychological torture inside concentration camps. This case study paper has four aims. First, it highlights the complexity and severity of the traumatic psychological effects of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina on its citizens, including the effects of the war on the generation born during or shortly after the war. Second, the paper proposes a heuristic in the form of a broader theoretical approach; an ecological analysis of human development (Bronfenbrenner, 1989). This approach aims to provide a framework for research and the development of intervention strategies for the adolescent children of adult war survivors who have been affected by war-related trauma. Third, the paper presents a case vignette of an adolescent to demonstrate the application of the ecological framework to clinical practice with adolescents. Finally, we explore how the current cultural, political, and societal realities in Bosnia and Herzegovina affect the population in general and the children of war survivors in particular. The transition from a state of war to peace is a long and continuous process with residual effects of violent conflicts permeating the broader society and its inhabitants, even after the war’s official end over 23 years ago. The authors argue that roles of psychologists and other mental health providers should expand beyond traditional focus on intrapsychic problems. Rather, effective treatment strategies should also include recognition of and attenuation of the larger systemic stressors that patients experience on daily basis. This could be accomplished through collaboration among psychologists and patients, patients’ families, teachers, and community members, all of whom directly or indirectly affect patients’ treatment outcomes.
: This paper presents a research conducted as part of development of the graduation thesis entitled: "Hydraulic numerical analysis of groundwater in the left hinterland of the Mostar hydroelectric power plant dam", which was developed and successfully defended at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Mostar in 2020. The Mostar hydroelectric power plant, in tandem with the Salakovac HPP, levels the flows in the downstream course of the Neretva River. In the area around the embankment and the diaphragm wall, there are indications of filtration deformations of soil, and development of dominant directions of groundwater flows. The paper examines the area of the left hinterland of the Mostar hydroelectric power plant dam in the MAGNET 4 WATER program, and compares the obtained results with the existing verified results from the DHI WASY FEFLOW program as well as the field results. It was concluded that the spatial model is suitable for further research and analyses, e.g. for monitoring groundwater flows in the area, and for the analysis of risks of contaminant transport underground the left hinterland of HPP Mostar.
Cilj ovoga rada preispitivanje je dominantnih historiografskih predodžbi o transformacijskim procesima u ekonomskoj povijesti Osmanskoga Carstva te obrada nepoznatih aspekata osmanskih financijskih mjera koje su na području Bosanskoga ejaleta poduzete u prvih nekoliko godina nakon Karlovačkoga mira (1699.). Rad pokazuje kompleksnost osmanske strategije u borbi sa stvarnim i percipiranim učincima gospodarske krize koju je na zapadnoj periferiji svijeta islama izazvalo dugotrajno ratovanje s koalicijom Svete lige. Nastoji se pokazati da je za potpunije razumijevanje osmanskih transformacijskih procesa potrebno temeljitije ispitati mjere koje je vlast provodila u pograničnim provincijama. Kao primjer tih mjera istaknuto je trajno oslobađanje cijeloga Bosanskog ejaleta od poreza bedel-i nüzûl, namijenjenog za opskrbu i financiranje vojske. Ukazano je i na značenje krupnih promjena u režimu ubiranja državnih prihoda kao što je ukidanje „vlaških poreza” i odsjekom određenih novčanih podavanja u znatnom dijelu osmanskoga agrarnog gospodarstva u Bosni te prijelaz na režim naturalne desetine. Analizirani su uzroci koji su doveli do tih mjera, njihove dugoročne posljedice za osmanske financije, život lokalnoga stanovništva i gospodarstvo. Zaključci izneseni u radu zasnovani su na analizi neobjavljene financijske građe iz osmanskih arhiva.
There has been a lot of talks lately about falling interest rates in all markets. The decline in interest rates is also evident in the domestic market. Such information and trends increase caution, especially in the corporate sector, which is not conducive to economic optimism. In support of the black premonitions that have been pointed out recently, the paper also highlights the appearance of “inverse” yield curves on the Banja Luka Stock Exchange. The yield curve represents the relationship between the interest rate (or loan cost) and the time to maturity of a given borrower in a given currency. By definition, there is no single yield curve that describes financing costs for all market participants. There are conventions that everyone adheres to when it comes to choosing instruments and general design principles. The interpretation of the yield curve is very complex because the yield curve takes into account investors’ expectations in terms of interest rates, but also inflation and political cycles because it is reflected as a risk premium for long-term investments. However, the details of the design methodology are characteristic of different institutional investors. The paper describes the methodology for constructing the yield curve of the Republic of Srpska. The range and limitations of using such a yield curve are then stated are also described. The subject of this paper is to create the yield curve in a domestic market and to analyze data from such views. The aim of the paper is to scientifically explain and describe the process of creating a curve for the yield of debt securities issued by the government and to analyze and interpret the data from that curve. The research question is: “Can the yield curve on the Banja Luka Stock Exchange be used behind the presentation of the yield on debt securities over the last decade?” Thus, the paper demonstrates the scope and limitations of this model while respecting the standards and specifics of business in the emerging market. The conclusion is that the yield curve on the Banja Luka Stock Exchange is a theoretical construction rather than an empirically verified fact, in contrast to the yield curve from developed markets, but that it can be used to represent the yield on debt securities and, indirectly, as an auxiliary tool in making investment decisions. Also, the yield curve of debt securities of the Republic of Srpska is a theoretical concept, but it is also noticeable in practice. Moreover, it is a desirable tool for both academia and practitioners and the general public.
Regulation Plan for the historic town area of Mostar includes major aspects of preservation and development of historic town zones. Provisions of the Regulation Plan pertain to use of land and buildings, aiming to preserve and revive the traditional uses and protect the natural characteristics of the area [8]. In this respect, the historic area of the town of Mostar has been divided into ten zones according to the use of land and structures, and Zone 8 covers Neretva as a protected riverside zone. The study aimed to define causes and state of weathering, damage and stability of rocks, then to define the existing state in terms of geological structure, and visit the most critical sections that require improvement.
