The neuroanatomy course consistently presents significant challenges, primarily due to the short lifespan of formalin-preserved brain specimens and their restricted availability. Numerous studies have evaluated the strengths and limitations of alternative resources for neuroanatomy education, with a particular focus on technology-based learning methods. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of integrating 3D printed models into the neuroanatomy curriculum and to evaluate student satisfaction with their use. The experimental group consisted of the first-year students enrolled in the integrated study program at the University of Sarajevo-Veterinary Faculty during the summer semester of the academic year 2022/2023. The course was organized using 3DP models for 15 h, while during the remaining three hours formalin-preserved specimens were utilized. Data obtained from this cohort were compared with the results of the previous two cohorts (2021–2022 and 2020–2021), who studied veterinary anatomy exclusively using formalin-preserved specimens. The neuroanatomy test scores improved in the experimental group compared to the two control groups. The students exhibit positive attitudes and report high satisfaction with using 3DP models. They support innovative teaching methods and find that the colored segments of the models enhance recognizability of different anatomical structures, highlighting the didactical value of 3DP models. Overall, study demonstrated that 3DP models were highly beneficial for neuroanatomy learning, pedagogically useful and well-received by students.

Abstract The subject of transgenerational legacies of war and forced migration has been increasingly gaining traction in the academic sphere. However, most of these studies yielded clinical implications, neglecting the role of culture in responding to the crisis engendered through the wholesale destruction of communities. The present paper examines how compounding of these phenomena impacted the formation of the social identities among the second-generation Bosniak1 migrants, whose parents survived the genocide in Srebrenica three decades ago and were forced to resettle in Australia. I focus on their family and homemaking practices in the diaspora by drawing upon findings from my ethnographic fieldwork in Melbourne. I found that the shared experience of place-based trauma of genocide serves as a connective tissue that binds the children survivors in “trans-local endogamous” marital unions through which they seek to preserve, perform and reproduce their unique (trans)local, cultural, as well as relational identities.

The volume Remembrance and Forgiveness, edited by Ajlina Karamehić-Muratović and Laura Kromják, brings together a diversity of disciplines, authors, and cultural contexts to discuss the legacies of the post-Holocaust era genocides by focusing on the (de)mobilisation of memory in seeking truth, justice, and forgiveness. The book provides a compendious overview of the social, historical, and political contexts behind the insurgencies and gives a better sense of understanding of (the obstacles to) the healing process and reconciliation in the global frame.
