Klir-Yuan fuzzy implication, as fuzzy implication generated from the standard strong fuzzy negation, the probabilistic sum t-conorm, and the product t-norm, represents a classical example of QL-implication, where QL-implications are the short for quantum logic fuzzy implications. In this paper we prove that the recent results on equivalences between fuzzy formulas and fuzzy dependencies remain invariant with respect to QL-implications when considered through Klir-Yuan fuzzy implication.

In this paper we complement the most recent results on soundness of inference rules for new vague multivalued dependencies. Motivated by the fact that the inclusive and the augmentation rules are sound, we prove that: complementation, transitivity, replication, coalescence, union, pseudo-transitivity, decomposition, and mixed pseudo-transitivity rules are also sound. Our research relies on definitions of vague functional and vague multivalued dependencies based on appropriately selected similarity measures between vague values, vague sets, and tuples on sets of attributes.

This paper represents a natural continuation of our previous study. In our earlier research we proved that the inclusive inference rule and the union inference rule for new vague functional dependencies are sound, and sketched a proof of the fact that the set of the main inference rules is a complete set. In the present paper we rigorously prove that: reflexive, augmentation, transitivity, pseudo-transitivity, and decomposition inference rules are also sound. Some additional insights in completeness of the main inference rules are also provided.

The Editors’ Network of the European Society of Cardiology provides a dynamic forum for editorial discussions and endorses the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) to improve the scientific quality of biomedical journals. Authorship confers credit and important academic rewards. Recently, however, the ICMJE emphasized that authorship also requires responsibility and accountability. These issues are now covered by the new (fourth) criterion for authorship. Authors should agree to be accountable and ensure that questions regarding the accuracy and integrity of the entire work will be appropriately addressed. This review discusses the implications of this paradigm shift on authorship requirements with the aim of increasing awareness on good scientific and editorial practices.

Abstract Education plays a central role in today’s understanding of growth and development dynamics. However, its relationship with other factors is complex. This paper aims to investigate the effect of different forms of education on youth employability in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is done by using the USAID MEASURE – BiH National Youth Survey. Research has shown that formal education and non-formal education through internship programmes, volunteering, paid jobs other than internships are significant predictors of youth employment status. The study also has several implications for academics and practitioners since it provides new insights into both employment patterns and practices in one transition economy but also calls for further analysis of the link between education, formal and non-formal, and youth employment.

Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. It is a heterogeneous disease with four major molecular subtypes. One of the subtypes, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-enriched (HER2-positive) is characterized by the absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors and overexpression of HER2 receptor, and accounts for 15–20% of all breast cancers. Despite the anti-HER2 and cytotoxic chemotherapy, HER2 subtype is an aggressive disease with significant mortality. Recent advances in molecular biology techniques, including gene expression profiling, proteomics, and microRNA analysis, have been extensively used to explore the underlying mechanisms behind human breast carcinogenesis and metastasis including HER2-positive breast cancer, paving the way for developing new targeted therapies. This review focuses on recent advances on gene expression and miRNA status in HER2-positive breast cancer.

ISO 20000-1:2011 is the most important standard for the management of IT services. ISO 27001:2013 is the most important standard for information security. This paper compares these two standards in the real environment of IPTV/VoIP service of Telecom operator in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This paper produces a new improved version of ISO 20000 standard in the field of information security based on recommendations from ISO 27001 standard in the field of information security. A new improved version of ISO 20000 standard is implemented in a real environment of Telecom operator and it produced a better results then the previous model.

This paper compares two project management methodologies PRINCE 2 and Scrum in a case study of digital business transformation. There is no universal methodology, that could work for all projects, but digital transformation or Industry 4.0 indicates new management strategies, for which right framework is almost mandatory. Paper also emphasizes that digital transformation of an organisation can not be just an IT project. In case study we discuss budget, time and value for a project. We analyzed project of digital transforamation of insurance company, where we had case study of issuing a travel insurance policy. PRINCE 2 definitely provides wide range of guidelines that help managing project, but all the documentation demands certain knowledge, usually more time, and not lot of flexibility in project control. On the other side, Scrum does not provide enough documentation, and it’ better for small projects, with fast delivery needs. Every methodology goal is efficiency and effectiveness, and we try to give guidelines which one to use, based on simple comparison.

Abstract Aims Raised blood pressure (BP) is the biggest contributor to mortality and disease burden worldwide and fewer than half of those with hypertension are aware of it. May Measurement Month (MMM) is a global campaign set up in 2017, to raise awareness of high BP and as a pragmatic solution to a lack of formal screening worldwide. The 2018 campaign was expanded, aiming to include more participants and countries. Methods and results Eighty-nine countries participated in MMM 2018. Volunteers (≥18 years) were recruited through opportunistic sampling at a variety of screening sites. Each participant had three BP measurements and completed a questionnaire on demographic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Hypertension was defined as a systolic BP ≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg, or taking antihypertensive medication. In total, 74.9% of screenees provided three BP readings. Multiple imputation using chained equations was used to impute missing readings. 1 504 963 individuals (mean age 45.3 years; 52.4% female) were screened. After multiple imputation, 502 079 (33.4%) individuals had hypertension, of whom 59.5% were aware of their diagnosis and 55.3% were taking antihypertensive medication. Of those on medication, 60.0% were controlled and of all hypertensives, 33.2% were controlled. We detected 224 285 individuals with untreated hypertension and 111 214 individuals with inadequately treated (systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg) hypertension. Conclusion May Measurement Month expanded significantly compared with 2017, including more participants in more countries. The campaign identified over 335 000 adults with untreated or inadequately treated hypertension. In the absence of systematic screening programmes, MMM was effective at raising awareness at least among these individuals at risk.

This paper presents a nonlinear flatness-based approach for simultaneous control of the active and reactive power of a self-excited induction generator (SEIG) in wind energy conversion system (WECS). The proposed flatness-based controller (FBC) generates the control outputs which are applied to the current-controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) and gearbox. A differential flatness theory is exploited to derive the flat outputs of the SEIG generator as well as to prove that the overall system is differentially flat one. This enables a transformation of this system into the linear canonical (Brunovsky) form and facilitates the design of the controller. The design methodology of the flatness-based controller relies on using a flux-based mathematical model of the SEIG in rotating $dq$ reference frame. The set points of the active and reactive powers are converted into system variables using a high-level reference trajectory generator (HLRTG). The proposed approach provides an efficient decoupled control for both the active and reactive power of the SEIG generator. The efficiency of the proposed control system is confirmed through simulation experiments.

Development of a spatial decision support system requires integration of various spatial data sets coming from different information systems of possibly more than one organization. The spatial decision support system development for spatial planning and environmental protection is discussed and spatial data integration is described. The heterogeneity of information systems from which spatial data come is reflected through their purpose. Utility and real estate cadaster systems imply services to citizens as part of spatial data infrastructure in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The spatial planning information system is intended for registration of environmental changes and spatial decision making. Utility cadaster information system development is described along with important aspects on how to satisfy both functional cadastral services and spatial planning experts needs to analyze information related to land use and network supply systems. Particular attention is given to spatial data transformation for utility cadaster database development in accordance with a prescribed data model.
