In post-conflict societies internal demarcation is based on tradition, religion, and heterosexual family values and within this frame sexual citizenship is considered ?as ideology? and as a threat to society imposed from outside. At the same time the influence and importance of international norms and changes in the standard of international politics and the emerging culture of human rights cause conflict between inside and outside, national sovereignty and universal human rights. This conflict is not specific only to stabilocracy and hybrid systems, but the omnipresent illogicality of a closed system of citizen-ship. Following the Butler?s observation that ?conjuncture of street and media constitutes a very contemporary version of the public sphere? (2011: 9), media textual and visual reports about Pride Parade in Belgrade and Sarajevo were analysed. In the analysis focus is on the borders of citizenship within the patriarchal matrix of nation-state confronted with the present bodies on the streets. The analysed textual and visual media reports confirm a hierarchisation of urban public space formed by national history and its material structures.
Background: The Lung adenocarcinoma, a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer, exhibits diverse histopathological patterns, impacting prognosis and therapeutic outcomes. Objective: This study explores the correlation between smoking habits and the prevalence of different histopathological subtypes in invasive lung adenocarcinoma (IAC). Methods: A single-center, cross-sectional study included 140 patients with surgically treated, histopathological verified lung adenocarcinoma. The patients were classified based on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) histopathological patterns, and smoking status data were collected from medical records. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software. Results: The predominant histopathological subtypes were acinar (47.9%) and solid (30.7%) IAC. Smokers constituted 84.3% of the patients, with a majority (61.7%) consuming more than 20 cigarettes per day. A weak, statistically significant correlation was found between histopathological patterns and smoking habits among smokers (rho=0.054; p=0.04). Acinar IAC was more common in those consuming up to 20 cigarettes daily, while the solid pattern predominated in those smoking more than 20 cigarettes (rho=0.189; p=0.04). No significant correlation was observed with the duration of smoking history. Conclusion: The study reveals a predictive relationship between smoking habits, including the number of cigarettes consumed, and the histopathological pattern of IAC in resected specimens. Acinar and solid subtypes were more prevalent, with distinct associations to smoking behaviors. Understanding these relationships can contribute to personalized treatment approaches and further research on lung adenocarcinoma.
The article explores the methods and potential applications of terrestrial laser scanning technology. It also presents the preliminary results of scanning the Bijambare cave, where a georeferenced three-dimensional model of the cave's interior was created. This model, based on available data, stands as the first accurate 3D representation of a speleological object in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first section of the paper provides a brief overview of the Bijambare cave area and the laser scanning technology employed, highlighting its advantages over other geodetic measurement techniques. Subsequently, the text delves into the stages of the measurement processing, followed by an examination of the various products generated. The practical significance of these products is illustrated using the example of the Bijambare cave.
<p>More recently modified stainless steels have been used to produce various structural elements that work in complex operating conditions. Stainless steel X8CrNiS18-9 (standard EN 10088-3) is the most commonly used from the group of austenitic stainless steel in terms of machinability. This steel has high mechanical and working properties thanks to a complex alloying, primarily with elements such as chromium and nickel. The content of sulphur present in the steel from 0.15 to 0.35% improves machinability. However, sulphur at the same time decreases the mechanical properties, particularly toughness. In steel, tellurium stabilizes carbides and reduces the microporosity of the structure. Also, tellurium is now recognized as a powerful sulphur modifier as well as a machinability additive when used in combination with lead and sulphur. This work aims to determine the influence of tellurium on the machinability, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the mentioned steel.</p>
Važan preduvjet za unaprjeđenje proizvodnje trešnje pored odabira sorte i podloge s dobrim pomološkim karakteristikama je i procjena potrebe za navodnjavanjem, kao način na koji će se ono i obavljati. U radu su prikazani rezultati dvogodišnjih poljskih pokusa (2018.-2019), s ciljem utvrđivanja utjecaja režima navodnjavanja i sorte, te njihove interakcije na prinos i masu ploda. Ispitivane su tri sorte trešnje različitih razdoblja zriobe (Burlat, Skeena, Sweet heart), cijepljene na slabo bujnu podlogu Gisela 5, uzgajane na tlu Eutrični kambisol. Rezultati su pokazali da je sorta Skeena u 2018. godini imala najveću prosječnu masu ploda (11,68 g) i prinos (9,64 kg/stablu), dok je u 2019. godini imala najmanji prosječan prinos (3,05 kg/stablu). Sorta Burlat u 2019. godini je imala najmanju prosječnu masu ploda (7,36 g). Korelacijskom analizom utvrđena je statistička značajnost režima navodnjavanja na ispitivane parametre promatranih sorti trešnje.
Translating work by authors who were forced to leave their original cultural context, which provided them with a unique position of viewing their own, but also other identities – now has a new, more interesting function. Translation thus does not only search for a common space for universal recognition and understanding based on common experiences but rather communicates differences and specific local qualities as opposed to the global context. In the English translation of the collection of stories by Miljenko Jergović, Sarajevo Marlboro, a book about the lives of common people from Sarajevo before and during the siege in the nineties, a translator is in a different relation toward the readers, due to the very need to use a translation for communication. In this process, the specification can be seen as not only a translation technique but a strategy for explicitation and explanation of Bosnian & Herzegovinian cultural elements, especially those which are invisible, under the surface of the text, coded in our cultural identities. This paper analyses the translation of cultural elements of Bosnian identity, and the techniques used in their translation.
Observing through the historical prism of regional development and regionalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina, city and region of Sarajevo have special importance and significance. This is mainly due to the fact that the City of Sarajevo is the main administrative center, i.e. the center of political, economic, cultural and overall social life and development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the same time, the Sarajevo is the center of Canton of Sarajevo, the center of this macro-region, as well as it is the capital of the entity of the Federation and state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. All those facts make Sarajevo attractive both for life and business, furthermore for studying its capacity and development potentials as well. In modern economics, the regions represent an important development level, while regionalisation represent an essentional component of the political systems of the modern state. The regions have become a link between local and central (state) institutions of government and local and overall economic development of country. The Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long tradition of regionalization and regionalism. Over long time, it has gone through verious phases and forms of regionalisation depening on then chraging political order. Sarajevo as a city and the region has historicaly developed in two directions. First, towards the capital of state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the main administrative center. Secondly, towards the center of the region, i.e. the macro-region. Sarajevo macro-region is the most developed region in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of overall infrastructure and resources bacause of its normative, social importance and the position of the city itself. The territory covered by the Sarajevo macro-region has significant natural resources, energy potentials, as well as resources for the development of industry. Truistically, along with Mostar, it is a most impressive destination for tourists. Nevertheless, this macroregion still does not fully exploit the resources available to it, due to the many limitations and obsticles that directly affect it and that require adequate resolution.
The paper analyzes the effects of medicines policy on the functional separation of pharmacy and drugstore businesses from the early 19th century to the Second World War. Attempts to maintain personal and professional interests in the delivery of medicines prompted the long-standing dispute between pharmacists and druggists over the control and trade of drugs and poisons. The issue of state control generated complex processes that emphasized the professional role of pharmacists as providers of pharmaceutical services and druggists as wholesalers of medicines.
In the dynamic realm of online gaming, sustaining player engagement and immersion within a virtual environment is paramount for both the player community and game developers. World of Warcraft (WoW), a prominent massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), has experienced considerable evolution since its inception in 2004. As gaming technologies advance and player expectations shift, a variety of media platforms, such as forums, social networks, and streaming services, have surfaced, playing a pivotal role in augmenting the WoW gaming experience. This study delves into the impact of different versions of WoW on the players' content experience, focusing on how these media platforms influence player engagement, communication strategies, and problem-solving approaches. Employing qualitative research methods, particularly in-depth interviews, this paper weaves a comprehensive narrative that sheds light on the intersection of technological evolution and gaming experiences. Our findings indicate that the specific version of WoW plays a critical role in shaping player interactions and problem-solving methods. The Classic WoW iteration fosters a sense of community and interaction, necessitating collaboration and the use of external resources. In contrast, Modern WoW has streamlined gameplay mechanics, thereby reducing the emphasis on collaborative efforts and the role of community within the game. This research underscores the fluid nature of social dynamics within the game, evolving in response to the changing preferences and expectations of the player base.
<p>Three new neutral complexes of copper(II) containing chalcone ligands derived from 2'-hydoxyacetophenone and 4-substituted benzaldehydes were synthesized. Complexes were prepared by solution synthesis and characterized by spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of complexes was examined in the reaction of 3,5-di-tertbutylcatehcol (DTBC) oxidation. The kinetics of DTBC catalytic oxidation by copper(II) complexes (1 – 3) was investigated spectrophotometrically under pseudo-first-order conditions. Catalytic parameters, the maximum reaction rate (vmax), Michaelis-Menten constant (KM), catalytic efficiency, catalytic reaction rate constant (kcat), turnover number (TON), and turnover frequencies (TOF) for complexes 1 – 3 in DTBC oxidation were collected. The studied complexes 1 and 2 were found to have moderate catalytic activity, while complex 3 does not show catalytic properties.</p>
The study measures and compares the levels of financial integration in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia between 2000 and 2020. This study aims to determine the impact of industrial index, gross domestic product per capita, trade openness, and corporate tax rate on the level of international financial integration. The statistical methods employed are unit root tests, OLS regression, the Breusch-Pagan test, and the heteroskedasticity test. For the 20-year time span and annual data for each parameter, the results have shown a significant positive correlation between gross domestic product per capita and financial integration for both countries. The results for Slovenia indicate that financial integration is negatively affected by trade openness and corporate tax rates, whereas gross domestic product per capita and industrial production index affect positively. In the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, corporate tax rate and industrial production index affect financial integration negatively, while trade openness affect positively but insignificant with financial integration.
The aim of the research was to determine the total content of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) in agricultural soils and to determine the potential toxicity of different intake routes for children and adults. Two locations were selected (Tomislavgrad and Mostar) where field crops were grown. Taking soil samples and determining the content of Cd and Cu was carried out according to the Instructions on determining the permitted amounts of harmful and dangerous substances in the soil and their testing methods (Official Gazette of FBiH, no. 96/22). A health risk assessment model based on the guidelines of the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 1996; USEPA, 2002; USEPA, 2011) was used to calculate the human health risk assessment. The measured values of the total content of copper and cadmium at the Tomislavgrad location are in accordance with the prescribed limit values. The copper content at the Mostar location was 205.90 mg/kg, which is above the limit value, and the cadmium content is in accordance with the prescribed limit values. When the HI value is less than 1, then there is no risk to human health, but if the values are greater than 1, then there is concern about non-carcinogenic risks (USEPA, 2004). The USEPA considers a carcinogenic risk in the range of 1×10–6 to 1×10−4 to be acceptable to human health. Calculations for non-carcinogenic and cancerous health risks were following the limit values.
<p style="text-align: justify;">This paper deals with the numerical determination of the stress intensity factor KI for meridional cracks on the ellipsoidal head of pressure vessels. The experiment was carried out according to selected parameters, including vessel diameter, wall thickness and pressure. The analysis of the results concluded that the cylindrical segment of the ellipsoidal head and the crown of the ellipsoidal head are the most critical places for the appearance of cracks, exposed to tensile stresses. Regression analysis determined that the internal pressure has the greatest influence on the KI factor, while the diameter of the vessel is also significant for the crown of the ellipsoidal head. The conducted experiments confirm the obtained regression models, although deviations attributed to the imperfections of the numerical simulations were observed. Despite this, it is concluded that the obtained values of the KI factor are satisfactorily accurate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fracture mechanics is a field that is increasingly studied and applied in modern industry. One of the most widely accepted methods for assessing structural integrity in this field is the SINTAP method. Although there are many literary sources available that discuss this<br />method, very few of them present its concrete application. This paper presents the application of the mentioned method, along with appropriate equations, at a basic level of analysis. The relevant fracture mechanics parameters are determined numerically using<br />Ansys software, with the example of a thick-walled pressure vessel with cracks in the support zone. The analysis takes into account the effects of operational loads, as well as residual stresses resulting from welding.</p>
<p>Dieser Beitrag hat zum Ziel, die Frage zu beantworten, ob der Konjunktiv als Verbmodus in der deutschen Sprache heute lebendig ist und gemäß den grammatikalischen Regeln, insbesondere in seiner typischen Verwendung in der indirekten Rede, verwendet wird oder, wie im sprachwissenschaftlichen Diskurs der letzten Jahrzehnte oft behauptet, zum Aussterben bedroht ist. Die Recherche erfolgte anhand ausgewählter Zeitungsartikel aus den zwei überregionalen repräsentativen deutschen Zeitungen. Bewusst wurden zwei Textsorten, Bericht und Nachricht, ausgewählt, mit dernnahme, dass der Konjunktiv nur in Bericht vorkommt, in Nachricht jedoch weniger oder gar nicht. Die detaillierte Analyse des Gebrauchs und der Funktion des Konjunktivs I und Konjunktivs II im Korpus hat gezeigt, dass die Verwendung des Konjunktivs in den beiden Textsorten gleichmäßig und sehr lebendig ist und nach den grammatischen Regeln erfolgt. </p>
