Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is one of the most important tree species in European forests. This study aims to determine whether there is inter-provenance variability in researched morphological traits in two international provenance tests of Scots pine in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We measured height, root collar diameter, and latest shoot length and counted branches on the latest branch whorl of Scots pine plants in two provenance tests. The provenance tests are located in Kupres and Žepce, in different climatic, edaphic, and orographic conditions. Kupres and Žepce contain 15 and 14 provenances, respectively, eleven of which are mutual to both sites. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance showed differences among provenances in all investigated morphological traits. These differences were attributable to provenance test, provenance, and interaction between provenance test and provenance. The average values were higher in Žepce for all provenances and all studied traits. The Austria A1, Austria A2, Austria A3, and Poland P1 provenances showed the best growth in both tests, while the Italy I1 provenance showed good growth in Žepce but not in Kupres.

A brain anomaly localization algorithm in an unsupervised machine learning (ML) framework is presented for electromagnetic brain imaging. The method is based on expected value estimation and takes the advantage of the highly symmetrical human brain. The algorithm processes signals collected from pairs of antennas that are positioned symmetrically around the head, discretizes the imaging domain into pixels, and computes the statistical fields between the antennas on the left and right sides of the head. Then, it concatenates their intensities along the axis normal to the imaging domain to compute the expected value for every pixel. The computed expected values are merged into a matrix containing expected values for all pixels. Pixels with higher intensity show the likelihood of an anomaly being present at that location. The assumption on brain symmetry from the electromagnetic perspective was tested on healthy volunteers using a 14-element array system with a working frequency band of 0.5 - 2.0 GHz. The obtained average similarity is 92% and it confirms the validity of the assumption. The same system is used to test the algorithm on different scenarios in simulations and experiments using realistic 3D head phantoms designed based on MRIs of real patients. The imaging results demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm to localize bleeding and estimate its size with less than 10% error in less than a minute, which makes it suitable for real-time use in emergency stroke scenarios.

Alcoholism or alcohol abuse and indulgence in alcohol is one of the most prevalent antisocial phenomena in young people and one of the main causes of their criminal behavior. Namely, there is an increasing tendency for young people to abuse and consume alcohol and to indulge in alcohol frequently as well as the incidence of committing criminal offenses by young people under the decisive influence of alcohol. The paper elaborates the criminal law aspects of protecting young people from alcoholism or alcohol abuse and points out problem of uneven and inadequate legislation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and gives appropriate proposals for changes to existing solution in order to achieve better and more effective criminal law protection of young people from alcohol abuse.

Modern way of living, relieved by possibilities of new technologies, is benefit which humankind has in the 21st century, but big benefit could become negative side of technology improvements. Life without internet is unimaginable, and media gives its services through internet. Everything is easily available, immediately and everywhere. That advantage could produce negative consequences for users. Users always seek protection from the state, they do not know their rights and they are convinced that they do not have obligations. We hope that this brief review of legal framework of users’ rights and their protection in criminal jurisdiction sense will serve as a warning for users to think about all possible outcomes of their actions before they activate internet link. The state protects each citizen equally, but citizens have obligation to denounce all situations in which they notice deviation from acceptable treatment. That is the only way for efficient state action and way to protect others users from illegal treatment.
