The aim of this paper is to conduct a semantic analysis of humour in the anecdotes about Nasreddin Hodja collected and edited by Alija Isaković in 1984. Humour research in linguistics is becoming increasingly popular in BiH, but is naturally focused mainly on contemporary humour, wheth er this be jokes, political discourse or some other contemporary corpus. Through Victor Raskin’s semantic script theory of humour (SSTH), the paper examines whether the three basic categories of analysis are present in the selected examples from the corpus: 1) to which of the three basic classes do scripts in binary opposition belong; 2) which subcategory do they belong to; 3) whether they are part of common, restricted or individu al scripts. The examples are analysed within the classification of anecdotes offered by Isaković. Special attention is given in the analysis to each of the categories in an effort to recognise the reasons for such a grouping of humorous text. The examples under consideration have a structure that bears more resemblance to short jokes than to longer anecdotes. This is because in ideal circumstances, not always, Raskin’s semantic theory applies to the verbal humour of jokes, but also because of the limitations placed on the length of this text. This is why this text should be seen as merely a hint of the layers of humour in anecdotes that are a part of our cultural heritage, although they are directed at a character who reached our region through another culture.

The aim of this paper is to compare two geodetic methods - GNSS and aerial photogrammetry in the context of calculating the volumes of mineral resources in open-pit mines. The advantages and weaknesses of both methods are analyzed, as well as their impact on accuracy, efficiency, and costs. The results show that the GNSS method provides high accuracy on simpler and flatter terrains but demonstrates weaknesses on more complex terrains due to the approximation of the actual surface using breakpoints obtained by the GNSS method. The aerial photogrammetry method enables fast and efficient data collection and provides a detailed 3D model, making it particularly useful in hard-to-access or hazardous areas. Additionally, it significantly saves time during data collection and reduces the demand for geodetic professionals. The paper also compares volume calculation methods, emphasizing how technological advancements allow many software solutions to treat the 3D model of the subject area as a whole rather than as segments such as profiles, prisms, etc.

Introduction: The main aim of this research was to determine whether there are statistically significant correlations between TMG variables and jumping performance. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five healthy and physically active male students (age: 20.84 ± 0.99 years; body height: 179.46 ± 5.91 cm; body weight: 73.88 ± 6.43 kg) of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education participated in this study. Radial displacement, contraction time and delay time of the m. vastus lateralis were collected to assess muscles’ contractile characteristics using tensiomyography (TMG). Additionally, squat jump and countermovement jump height were recorded using the Optojump system. Results: A very high, negative, statistically significant correlation between both power assessment variables and the radial displacement variable was found; more specifically, the cor-relation between CMJ and radial displacement amounted to r = -.80, p < .01, while for SJ and radial displacement the correlation amounted to r = -.73, p < .01. High, negative, statistically significant correlations (r = -.61 to -.69, p < .01) were achieved among all other variables. Conclusion: TMG parameters could successfully predict jumping performance in the studied sample of male students.

ABSTRACT

Museum development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the capital (Sarajevo), is an accompanying phenomenon of the overall tourism development. The paper aims to identify and valorise top museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to comprehend tourism and museums growth features, including the tourist perceptions, which are important for sustainable museum and tourism planning. Tourism and museum expansion were investigated concurrently, with over 30,000 visitor reviews. The top museums were identified by analysing and evaluating reviews on popular travel information websites, taking into account the highest frequency and rating, and relying on the GIS mapping for their spatial visualisation. Statistical analysis and cartographic demonstration were conducted to determine the trends in museum and tourism development. The popularity of museums provides understanding visitors' interests since reviews are a vital component of destination marketing and planning for long-term development. Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly its capital Sarajevo, exemplifies the cohesion of tourism and cultural (museum) evolution. Key attributes of popular national museums enhance comprehension of the cultural dimensions of tourism development. The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and war museums (Tunnel of Hope and Gallery 11/07/95) account for 50-90% of total excellent reviews, making them top museums in the country. Dark history (1992–1995) has a significant impact on museum settings, contributing to the building and preservation of the country's cultural identity while also promoting Sarajevo as a famous European city under th e former longest siege in modern European history and today's leading tourism and museum destination.

<p style="text-align: justify;">In this article we present the original Georgi-Glashow &nbsp;model with gauge and fermion sector derivation in order to show grand unified theory (GUT) through this model, but also to correlate &nbsp;and Standard Model (SM). One of the correlations reside in neutrino mass sector where both and Standard Model (SM) see neutrinos as massless particles. We will show that gauge sector yields twelve gauge bosons that will mediate proton decay within <i>.</i> Beside this, Georgi-Glashow model provides a basis for development and extrapolation in terms of reconstructing it to find viable neutrino mass mechanism that we present in our conclusion.</p>

This paper presents a hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model that integrates the fuzzy DIBR II (Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked Criteria II) method with the MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison). The proposed model addresses the problem of selecting an appropriate flood protection method for Arilje, Republic of Serbia. Flooding in this region results from the overflow of the Veliki Rzav river, which lacks constructed water structures for flood protection. The study considers three alternative flood protection solutions: sand-filled bags, mobile freestanding plastic systems, and mobile freestanding metal systems. The fuzzy DIBR II method was used to define the weighting coefficients of the criteria within a group decision-making framework. Next, the MABAC method was applied to rank the proposed alternatives. Finally, the results were validated through sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis. The validation confirmed that the developed hybrid model produces stable and reliable results.

This paper on the lectisternium provides a detailed explanation of this ancient Roman ritual in its role as a key element in the religious and social practices of the Romans. The lectisternium was a ceremony in which the Romans prepared meals for their gods on specially arranged couches, creating the illusion of a divine presence at their feast. This ritual had a profound religious and social dimension, especially during times of crisis such as epidemics and wars, when the Romans prayed to their deities for mercy and protection. The ritual also promoted unity and solidarity among citizens, who opened the doors of their homes and temporarily set aside disagreements, thus bringing a conciliatory character to the ritual. Over time, as social and religious norms changed, the lectisternium gradually lost its significance, and was replaced with new rituals coinciding with the introduction of Christianity. The paper thus provides insight into the importance of this ritual in the context of Roman social and religious life, highlighting its role in shaping Roman social and religious structures.

In this paper, we present the main features of Dynamic Rapidly-exploring Generalized Bur Tree (DRGBT) algorithm, a sampling-based planner for dynamic environments. We provide a detailed time analysis and appropriate scheduling to facilitate a real-time operation. To this end, an extensive analysis is conducted to identify the time-critical routines and their dependence on the number of obstacles. Furthermore, information about the distance to obstacles is used to compute a structure called dynamic expanded bubble of free configuration space, which is then utilized to establish sufficient conditions for a guaranteed safe motion of the robot while satisfying all kinematic constraints. An extensive randomized simulation trial is conducted to compare the proposed algorithm to a competing state-of-the-art method. Finally, an experimental study on a real robot is carried out covering a variety of scenarios including those with human presence. The results show the effectiveness and feasibility of real-time execution of the proposed motion planning algorithm within a typical sensor-based arrangement, using cheap hardware and sequential architecture, without the necessity for GPUs or heavy parallelization.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Shape memory alloys are of great commercial importance from biomedical applications to smart materials. The electrochemical behavior of Cu-Al-Zn alloy in phosphate buffer without and in the presence of amino acid was investigated. Electrochemical researches were performed in a traditional three-electrode system by means of the Tafel extrapolation method. The results showed that the presence of amino acid leads to a decrease in the corrosion rate and the density (values) of the corrosion current, which indicates that the tested inhibitor is efficient.</p>

In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through the Law on Internal Trade, it is planned to restrict work on Sundays for most sales facilities. This would apply to the territory of the entity concerned, i.e., 51% of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s territory. Previously, unlike other countries that introduced the same or similar practices, there have been no significant social and political discussions or surveys of the views of workers, employers, and citizens. This paper aims to research the citizens' views of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on non-working Sundays and thus offer a basis for a better discussion of this issue. A convenience sample of 406 respondents from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FB&H) entity was used. Despite the expressed bias on the topic of banning trade on Sundays, the analysis of respondents’ answers regarding the willingness to work on Sundays (with the condition of a second day off some other day and 50% higher wages for working on Sundays) showed that more than half of the respondents support working on Sundays under this condition. The survey results showed that citizens are less inclined to restrict the operation of smaller shops and that the ban on working on Sundays is mainly supported by those who do not work on Sundays.

Introduction: Brucellosis is a zoonosis classified as one of the most important neglected zoonoses in the world, especially in low and middle-income countries with livestock farming represented. In recent years, an increased incidence of brucellosis has been reported in Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly in the Central Bosnia Canton (CBC) region. In the CBC region, the first case of the disease was registered at the end of 2002 in the municipality of Novi Travnik. In the period 2003-2012, 539 cases in humans and 7508 infected animals were registered. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the risk of brucellosis in the population living in rural and suburban areas because human behavior plays a significant role in the spread of brucellosis. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study conducted in selected rural and suburban areas of the CBC in the period from October 2023 to January 2024. In this study, 117 respondents participated with 60 respondents (51.3%) from rural areas and 57 (48.7%) from suburban areas. Results: The respondents from rural areas showed better knowledge with an average score of 69.86 ± 11.99% than the respondents from suburban areas with an average score of 59.21 ± 11.86 (p < 0.0001). Looking at the average scores of the attitudes of the same regions, it can be seen that the respondents from the suburban region have a better attitude with 55.56 ± 23.64% (p < 0.0001) than the respondents from the rural region. In practice, the suburban region scored better with an average of 50.50 ± 18.65% than the rural region with 37.08 ± 15.02% (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: The One Health approach, which involves collaboration between veterinary and public health professionals, is the key to successful brucellosis control.

<p style="text-align: justify;">This paper describes the difference in the creep rate of pre-strained and no pre-strained samples of superalloy N07080. The primary strengthening mechanism of this superalloy is based on the precipitation of fine and coherent particles of the intermetallic &gamma;' phase Ni₃(Al,Ti) that ensure good creep resistance. In the case of additional strengthening of superalloy N07080 by warm plastic deformation, sometimes required by the automotive industry, its life in creep conditions will be significantly reduced. Performing the partial recrystallization annealing, after solution annealing and warm deformation, and before the final precipitation annealing, leads to a decrease in strength and an increase in the superalloy ductile properties and return of part of the lost creep life due to warm deformation.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Because of the shorter lifetime of warm-deformed superalloy N07080 samples, their creep rate is higher than that of those not warm-deformed. The creep rate at 50 % of creep rupture life of superalloy N07080 that warm rolled by 30% deformation (1080&deg;C/8h+30% warm def.+700&deg;C/16h) is 12,9 times higher than the creep rate of the standard heat-treated superalloy. This creep rate reduces with increasing partial recrystallization temperature and for recrystallization temperature 1080&deg;C it reaches values close to those that the superalloy possesses after standard heat treatment (1080&deg;C/8h+700&deg;C/16h).</p>

This paper shows how the processes of trust-building and power-sharing are evolving in the cases of Zimbabwe and Bosnia-Herzegovina after the conflict. The paper’s focus lies on lack of trust between different ethnic groups in the post-war period in terms of building political institutions and common political identity. Zimbabwe ethnic tensions originating from the Gukurahundi (1983-1987) between the Shona and the Ndebele people spilt over to the post-ethnic conflict society. Despite having the peace agreement known as the Unity Accord of 1987 to reduce tension in Zimbabwe, power-sharing remains the most untapped area for discussion. Similarly, the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992-1995) and the ethnic distribution of power given by the Dayton Peace Agreement are still one of the most significant elements of uncertainty and insecurity with dysfunctional ethnically based power-sharing as a result. With this review paper, we tend to answer several questions: What is the primary source of distrust and insecurity in post-conflict societies in Zimbabwe and Bosnia concerning the origins of those issues? What are the efforts of state institutions to promote unity and peace, and how do these peace accords affect institution-building processes?
