This paper analyzes internet memes pertaining to Covid-19. We analyzed more than 200 memes over nine months. By utilizing Blending Theory and Discourse Viewpoint, we attempt to explain the creative inner workings of memes as well as how meaning is negotiated on the internet. We were clearly able to detect memes synchronously following the actual development of Covid-19. We show that meme makers use visuals metonymically to address the current state of Covid-19 while the overall message of memes is driven by simile. As much as memes draw on the concept of Covid-19, they also feed back to it in a loop of self-reference. Along with their underlying metaphoric nature, memes convey a feels-like attitude with two main phases emerging from their usage, i.e., the Observer Phase and the Experiencer Phase. The former showed memes at a stage where Covid-19 was not yet a pandemic (but perceived through media coverage from elsewhere) while the latter, the Experiencer Phase, clearly showed that meme creators had experienced the virus themselves. As for the timeframe covered, however, we conclude that memes do not show full conceptual integration as Covid-19 was not yet fully entrenched.

<p>Funkcioniranje triju službenih jezika u Bosni i Hercegovini predstavlja vrlo interesantan model pripremanja tekstova na bosanski, hrvatski i srpski jezik, te se dokumenti važni za pravni sistem na&scaron;e države objavljuju tako da svaki ima svoje tri vrlo slične <span style="text-decoration: underline;">verzije.</span> U ovom radu analiziratće se dokument s nazivom Preporuke o priznavanju specifičnih oblika učenja na bosanskome i srpskome ili Preporuke o priznavanju specifičnih vidova učenja na hrvatskome, a cilj rada jeste da se izdvoje uočene razlike među verzijama, sagleda odnos različite i jednake upotrebe određenih jezičkih pojava, te rasvijetli gramatička opravdanost prikazanih razlika.

<p>TIMMS istraživanja su izvr&scaron;ena sa ciljem unapređenja obrazovnog sistema na svjetskom nivou. Istraživanja su bazirana za oblasti iz matematike i prirodnih nauka. Pored toga, izvr&scaron;ena su testiranja nekoliko faktora koji imaju uticaj na razvoj učeničkih postignuća na polju informatičke pismenosti. Istraživanjem je dokazano da mentori ili nastavnici treba da budu dovoljno spretni kako bi uspostavili komunikaciju sa NET generacijom mladih. Upotrebom računara ili tableta za vrijeme nastave omogućava se uspostavljanje veze sa mladim rođenim u digitalnoj eri, prilagođavanjem nastavnih sredstava podiže se nivo interakcije. Istraživanjem je dokazano da posjedovanjem naučne laboratorije i upotrebom računarskih tehnologija značajno se utiče na razvoj informatičke i naučne pismenosti.&nbsp;<br />Posjedovanjem vlastitog mobitela i računara ima značajan uticaj kada su u pitanju usvajanja znanja iz prirodnih nauka i matematike. Prema tome, uvođenjem digitalnih tehnologija i inovacija u obrazovni sistem, trend slabih rezultata na međunarodnim istraživanjima bi trebao biti pro&scaron;lost.</p>

The main goal of this paper is to point out the concept of creativity in teaching, specifically creativity in the teaching of Nature and Society. Nature and society, as a subject, provide many opportunities to express the creativity that we carry within us through the role of a teacher, as well as to teach students how to be creative. The paper highlights examples of different teaching units that indicate ways to encourage creativity in students and awaken their imagination. Through teaching, through tasks that the teacher creatively devises, we encourage students to think creatively and act, in addition to acquiring knowledge more permanently and functionally. Possibilities of creating Nature and Society lessons through creative examples and experiments, as well as evaluating and measuring creativity, were presented. The work results indicated that creative teachers create their fruits, which are called creative students, that they are causally connected, and that creativity is a synonym for an expert and professional teacher.

The pronoun en is usually described in the literature as an adverbial pronoun, although the adverbial value is only one of several functions in which it can appear. It is a pronoun whose use is very diverse and complex, which is best seen based on numerous syntactic functions that we will present first in this paper. Then we will emphasize the analysis of examples of its use in the corpus, which includes student works divided into three stages (PI / INT / AH). Our goal is to determine to what extent this pronoun is represented in the mentioned corpus and in which syntactic functions it appears most often, i.e., to what extent students master its use. The analysis will also include those examples in which the use of this pronoun was absent as well as those in which its use is unacceptable.

By asking the question: "What general, testable claims can be made about all media?", Marshall and Eric McLuhan (1988) sought to establish "laws of media" that could be tested, proven, or disproved by anyone, anywhere, anytime. They formulated these "laws" through four questions that can be asked upon the appearance of or regarding any human artifact/technology/media. The importance of this theory is indisputable insofar as its application can identify past, current, and at least partially predict future trends related to some human artifact/technology/media. In this paper we applied this theory to the websites/services for social networking, considering the increasingly widespread and intensive use of these sites/services in the world. Positive aspects are improved and accelerated communication and connection of people, opportunities for creative expression, association and struggle for common goals, and also earnings. The negative aspects range from a potentially bad impact on the user's mental health, pathological addiction, the increasingly difficult distinction between the real and virtual world, being trapped by filter bubbles, all the way to endangering personal data and security.

Background: Primary healthcare plays a crucial role in addressing opiate addiction, aiming to provide treatment to approximately 80 percent of affected individuals, aligning with its approach to managing other chronic diseases. An optimal scenario involves the integration of opiate substitution therapy within primary healthcare settings, enhancing accessibility for individuals struggling with addiction. For effective treatment delivery, primary healthcare facilities must be equipped with knowledgeable staff, appropriate medical equipment, and diagnostic resources. In instances where primary healthcare cannot deliver services to full capacity,  referrals to secondary healthcare facilities, particularly addiction specialist, become necessary for comprehensive examination and treatment. Methods: This study adopts a retrospective qualitative approach. It encompasses an examination of pertinent laws and regulations, analysis of opiate addiction reports and treatment documentation, and the facilitation of focus group discussions. Results: Findings from the focus group sessions illuminate prevalent challenges within primary care, indicating difficulties in managing addicted individuals coupled with negative emotional responses among staff members, underscoring the need for enhanced support and training. Conclusion: Addressing the identified gaps necessitates collaborative efforts involving secondary healthcare education, systemic reforms, and increased involvement of psychiatrists in the treatment continuum. By integrating  these measures, primary healthcare systems can bolster their capacity to effectively address opiate addiction, thereby improving outcomes and overall  community well-being.

BILATERAL PROJECT REPORT IMPACT OF QUARANTINE DUE TO COVID-19 ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN SLOVENIA AND BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

This study investigated the effect of red corn in the feed mixture of dairy goats on production traits, blood metabolic profile, and antioxidative status. The study was conducted on 30 French Alpine dairy goats. The feed mixture for the goats in the control group (CC) contained yellow corn (100%). In the first experimental group (RC50), yellow corn was partially (50%) replaced by red corn (RC), and in the second experimental group (RC100), yellow corn was completely (100%) replaced by red corn. No significance variations (p > 0.05) were determined in production traits of dairy goats between dietary treatments. A significant increase in hemoglobin (84.43, 100.00 and 106.55 g/L), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (7.98, 9.70 and 12.54 pg), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (293.57, 357.50 and 462.78 g/L) was found in the RC groups, and a decrease in erythrocytes in the RC100 compared with the RC50 group of goats (from 8.71 to 10.45 × 1012 L). A significant increase in blood superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the RC groups was found (0.29, 0.53, and 0.44 U/mL). The results indicate maintaining production traits and a moderate effect on blood metabolic profile (most hematologic parameters) as well as a positive antioxidative effect RC.

Uvidi u konsultirane recentne izvore pokazali su povezanost doživljenog i počinjenog vršnjačkog nasilja. Cilj istraživanja bio je da se na temelju stavova osnovnoškolaca i srednjoškolaca istraže osobenosti doživljenog i počinjenog vršnjačkog nasilja u osnovnoj i srednjoj školi na području Unsko-sanskog kantona. Od istraživačkih metoda korištene su metoda teorijske analize i deskriptivno-analitički survey metod, a od istraživačkih tehnika anketiranje i skaliranje. Od istraživačkih instrumenata korišteni su Upitnik o socio-demografskim podacima i Skala vršnjačkog nasilja. Istraživački uzorak, koji je po svojoj prirodi bio slučajni stratificirani, činilo je 300 osnovnoškolaca i 300 srednjoškolaca s područja Unsko-sanskog kantona. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali: kod djece i mladih statistički značajno je veće doživljeno od počinjenog vršnjačkog nasilja; srednjoškolci su u većoj mjeri počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja od osnovnoškolaca; ispitanici muškog spola su u statistički značajno većoj mjeri doživjeli i veći su počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja od ispitanika ženskog spola; učenici sa slabijim školskim uspjehom su u statistički značajno većoj mjeri doživjeli i veći su počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja od ispitanika s boljim školskim uspjehom; djeca i mladi koji su u većoj mjeri doživjeli vršnjačko nasilje istovremeno su u statistički značajno većoj mjeri i počinioci vršnjačkog nasilja. Izveden je zaključak kako bi rezultati istraživanja mogli biti podsticaj i osnova za kreiranje i realiziranje socijalno-pedagoških programa koji bi bili u funkciji prevencije vršnjačkog nasilja.

While 5G networks are still being developed and expanded around the world, the industry is already thinking about the next generation to meet the needs of the accelerated digital transformation and the demands of modern society. 6G networks will be even faster, more reliable, with lower latency and higher capacity than their predecessors. It is expected to deliver incredible data transfer speeds of terabytes per second, enabling instant downloads of large files and supporting technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other advanced applications.. One key features of 6G networks will be greater connectivity between people, machines and things, creating an intelligent network that will enable highly sophisticated communication scenarios. 6G networks are expected to provide the possibility of continuous connectivity with high quality of service, even in difficult environments such as rural areas, inside buildings or in motion. 6G networks will use multiple frequency bands, including terahertz frequencies, which will allow for greater capacity and higher data transfer speeds. It will also require advanced use of antenna systems, such as massive multiplexed antennas (Massive MIMO), in order to achieve a high degree of wireless efficiency. However, it is important to note that the 6G network is still in the research and development phase. Standardization and commercial implementation are expected only after 2030.

The topic is romantic travelogues with the subject of Bosnia: descriptions andinsights into the perceived “reality” of the Bosnian area and people of the19th century presented through linguistic and stylistic means and on examples of selected travelogues from that period. New historical experiences of the writer opened the way for the emotional reception of collective practices of people, and this often leads to ahistorical conceptualization and long-lasting stereotypes. Considering that both linguistic activity and historical memory are mutual psychological processes, the diverse strategic character of the travel discourse through research shows that known cultural patterns can often deceive with their simplified form.

Traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is not a common disorder, and dermatological signs and heart failure caused by AVF are rarely reported. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman who was referred for congestive heart failure symptoms. Echocardiography revealed preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Due to edema of the right leg with a long-standing leg ulcer and palpable femoral thrill, duplex ultrasonography was performed. It showed an AVF between the right superficial femoral artery (SFA) and the right femoral vein (FV). The patient recalled a 32-year-old gunshot injury that was not medically treated. After the diagnosis of AVF she was referred to a surgeon for an AVF ligation, with subsequent resolution of her symptoms. The differential diagnosis of leg ulcer with leg edema should include the possibility of AVF as a cause.
