Razvijanje talenata predstavlja jednu od ključnih aktivnosti u okviru talent menadžmenta i značajno doprinosi zadovoljstvu zaposlenika i ukupnoj organizacijskoj uspješnosti. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati nivo razvijenosti aktivnosti razvoja talenata u uslužnim poduzećima u Bosni i Hercegovini, kao i analizirati njihov utjecaj na zadovoljstvo zaposlenih. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 101 poduzeća, korištenjem Likertove skale i upitnika za menadžere i talentirane zaposlenike. Pouzdanost skala potvrđena je visokim vrijednostima Cronbach-α koeficijenata (α = 0.78 za razvoj, α = 0.84 za zadovoljstvo). Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da su razvojne aktivnosti u prosjeku visoko razvijene, posebno u malim i srednjim poduzećima. Regresijska analiza je potvrdila da razvojne aktivnosti značajno pozitivno utječu na zadovoljstvo zaposlenih (β = 0.355, p < 0.001), što ukazuje da ulaganje u razvoj talenata nije samo organizacijska obaveza, već i ključna strategija za povećanje zadovoljstva i lojalnosti zaposlenika. Ovi nalazi pružaju važne smjernice za unaprjeđenje HR praksi u organizacijama koje žele zadržati i motivirati svoje talente. Ključne riječi: Talenti, razvijanje talenata, zadovoljstvo zaposlenih

: Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where soil salinization is intensifying. Developing cost-effective and practical strategies to enhance seedling establishment and early vigor under saline conditions is therefore essential. In this study, we compared two seed-priming agents—1 mM proline and 25 mM NaCl—under identical hydroponic conditions to elucidate tissue-specific responses to 25 mM NaCl stress. Proline priming significantly improved shoot length (by ~23%), total chlorophyll content (by ~19%), and ascorbate peroxidase (ASPOX) activity. In contrast, NaCl priming enhanced root biomass retention (by ~38%) and peroxidase (POD) activity under salinity stress. Both priming treatments induced higher proline accumulation and antioxidant capacity, though with tissue-specific effects: proline favored aboveground resilience, while NaCl strengthened root ionic and oxidative balance. These findings highlight the complementary nature of proline and NaCl priming and support the concept of stress “memory,” whereby plants acquire enhanced readiness to cope with salinity. Integrating such priming strategies into chickpea cultivation could contribute to improved yield stability and sustainability in saline agroecosystems.

In early June 2023, we studied the Lepidoptera fauna of the upper course of the Neretva River, the valley of the Zalomka River in Nevesinjsko Polje and the Morina plateau between the two. In total, we registered 237 species, 63 butterflies and 174 moths. We found 53 butterfly species in the area of the Upper Neretva River, 37 in Nevesinjsko polje and five on the Morina plateau, along with 156, 40 and 20 moth species, respectively. In this study, we increased the total number of registered Lepidoptera species for the area, from 251 found in the same region during Neretva Science Week 2022, to a total of 414 (93 butterflies and 321 moths). Eight species have the status of Near Threatened and one is categorised as Data Deficient according to IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Two species are listed as Vulnerable in the Red List of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and three species are listed on the Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive. Our findings present a much-needed basic knowledge on Lepidoptera of the region, which is important for conservation activities.

<p>This paper aims to present a methodological framework for the development and validation of the<br />Effective Ergonomic Load Coefficient (KEEO) model, an approach that seeks to quantify total<br />workload by integrating physical, mental, organizational, and technical and technological factors.<br />Current methods, such as RULA, REBA, OCRA, SWAT, and JCQ, address only individual aspects of<br />work and thus limit insight into the entirety of ergonomic risk. KEEO is based on a multi-criteria<br />integration of methodologies for determining weights and factors that have been identified as<br />determinants of ergonomic workload. Validation includes assessment of the content validity of the<br />questionnaire, analytical boundary checking, sensitivity analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation. The<br />results obtained show stable linear behavior and proportionality between components, suggesting<br />that KEEO can serve as a basis for future integrated ergonomic workload indices. This<br />methodological work is the result of work on a doctoral dissertation on the topic "Multi-functional<br />analysis of effective workplace workload".</p>

Trithemis annulata (Palisot de Beauvois, 1807) is a widespread Afrotropical species that substantially expanded its range in Mediterranean Europe in the second part of 20th century and very recently in the West Balkan region. A field study was carried out from June to September 2024 in the southern parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Neretva River delta in Croatia in order to investigate the species’ presence in this area. During the survey, T. annulata was found at 14 locations, seven in each country. The observations from Bosnia and Herzegovina represent the first record of this species for the country. It was found in a wide variety of habitats, both lentic and lotic, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, larger ponds and canals. Considering that, at several of these locations, the species was not found during surveys in 2022 and 2023, it most likely spread to this area recently. Additionally, two observations of T. annulata from North Macedonia that were found in the online databases Observation and iNaturalist represent the first documented reports for this country. These findings constitute a substantial increase in species range and abundance in the region. The species’ distribution andspread in the Balkan Peninsula is also outlined and discussed.
