Introduction: Today, a lot is said and written about the hospital as a health institution. Various international bodies and organizations, including the World Health Organization, deal with the problem of work, functions, and organizations.Aim: This paper aims to perform a situational analysis of the organization of the hospital for emergencies; determine the availability of material and personnel resources in the hospital available in emergencies; examine the types of hazards that may have an impact on the safety of the hospital; determine the state of constructive and non-constructive safety of the hospital; examine the organization of services and support for patients and staff during emergencies.Methods: The research is descriptive and analytical. Standardized evaluation lists prescribed by the World health organization (WHO), which determines the hospital safety index, and the original survey questionnaire, according to the defined methodology of the WHO, were used as research instruments.Research results: For this work, a survey was conducted of 117 respondents, employees of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo, who work in responsible positions. The majority of respondents believe that the conditions for preparing the hospital for emergencies can be improved by providing more human resources, educating staff, and ensuring important modern technologies. The situational analysis at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo was carried out with an internal self-assessment of the hospital's safety index. The evaluation of the safety index for emergencies was calculated based on the defined WHO methodology.Conclusion: It is important to point out that there are many dangers (hazards) that can have an impact on the safety of hospitals and that different factors have a significant role in the preparedness of hospitals for an emergency or disaster.

Transmit power control is one of the most important issues in wireless networks, where nodes typically operate on limited battery power. Reducing communicating power consumption is essential for both economic and ecologic reasons. In fact, transmitting at unnecessarily high power not only reduces node lifetime, but also introduces excessive interference and electromagnetic pollution. Existing work in the wireless community mostly focus on designing transmit power policies by taking into account communication aspects like quality of service or network capacity. Wireless networked control systems (WNCSs), on the other hand, have different and specific needs such as stability, which require transmit power policies adapted to the control context. Transmit power design in the control community has recently attracted much attention, and available works mostly consider linear systems or specific classes of non-linear systems with a single-link view of the system. In this paper, we propose a framework for the design of stabilising transmit power levels that applies to much larger classes of non-linear plants, controllers, and multi-link setting. By exploiting the fact that channel success probabilities are related to transmit power in a non-linear fashion, we first derive closed-loop stability conditions that relate channel probabilities with transmission rate. Next, we combine these results together with well-known and realistic interference models to provide a design methodology for stabilising transmit power in non-linear and multi-link WNCSs.

Oxytocin (OT) has a well‐established role in reproductive behaviours; however, it recently emerged as an important regulator of energy homeostasis. In addition to central nervous system (CNS), OT is found in the plasma and OT receptors (OT‐R) are found in peripheral tissues relevant to energy balance regulation. Here, we aim to determine whether peripheral OT‐R activation is sufficient to alter energy intake and expenditure.

Objetivo: avaliar a relação entre a violência e a qualidade de vida de mulheres isoladas socialmente em decorrência da COVID-19.

Conclusão: o desfecho da violência física e psicológica relaciona-se de forma negativa nos aspectos físicos, psicológicos, relações sociais e meio ambiente da qualidade de vida de mulheres isoladas socialmente em decorrência da COVID-19.

Based on the available archival material and additional literature, this paper approaches the analysis of the textbooks of the Bosnian Franciscans Ambroža Matić and Augustin Miletić from the sociolinguistic aspect in the context of language naming and linguistic identity. The textbooks serve as examples from the corpus of our initial textbook literature referring to the early period or the very beginning of the contemporary (more modern) type of public schooling in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the aim of looking at identitarian language issues closely related to the issue of national identity. The starting point is the curriculum of the state (Franciscan) primary school in Tolisa (Orašje) from 1823, on the basis of which we can speak of a significant jubilee that today marks two centuries of a particularly important tradition: the official Bosnian language at the beginning (in the early period) of modern public schooling in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Furthermore, the paper shall analyze textbooks from the beginning of the 19th century, at a time when the processes of nationalization and significant mutual identitarian alienation of the local population had not yet taken root.

The problem of social exclusion is in the expert and scientific community known as one of the leading social problems of the modern world. Social exclusion becomes massive and troublesome process which warns that in the society faces serious changes that can have long-lasting and severe consequences on individuals and groups. This article consider the position civilian victims of war in Canton Sarajevo for some time presenting empirical research results, which is made by test method, elaborating the thesis that this is vulnerable population socially excluded from all segments of social life and on the scale of the problem social exclusion from cultural, social, economic and political life.

Without public administration reform there is no continuation of European integration of B&H – while European integrations can only be executed by reformed, professional and depoliticized public administration. Since it is expected that Bosnia and Herzegovina will finally receive candidate status at the end of the current year, and that the process of EU integration will intensify, public administration reform will once again be one of the unavoidable reform areas. This study provides an overview of the strategic framework and scope of public administration reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last 18 years that the reform has been formally implemented, followed by a contextual and legislative analysis, critical points of the reform, and a package of recommendations, conclusions and topics for further research.

The research objectives presented in this paper are to assess the current state of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s rural tourism offer and to recommend a course of action for its development based on the model’s data that was gathered from subject-matter experts. In this paper, the multicriteria analysis method DEX (Decision EXpert) was utilized to assess the capacity of rural tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) and to obtain the results. All establishments were rated “very good”, seeing that they made use of the natural beauty that BIH has to offer. The outcomes of using this model were used to generate suggestions for the long-term development of rural tourism in BIH. The contribution of the employed model is in the developed starting points for the advancements of rural tourism in BIH, and the proposed model presents a novel method for evaluating a nation’s tourism potential that could be used in future studies in other tourism-related fields as well. The limitations of this paper stem from the fact that not all tourist establishments were considered due to the lack of unified records for all of these establishments. The model used in this research, on the other hand, is applicable to all tourist capacities, which is an advantage.

The purpose of this paper is to explore whether or not fiscal policy can stimulate the economic activity in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For this purpose, the time-series data are collected in the period 2008-2014. The results suggest that a unit increase in revenue leads to a reduction in the gross domestic product in the long-run. Budgetary expenditures are found to stimulate gross domestic product only in initial period. However, results in the long-run are found to be negligible. Moreover, impulse-response function indicates there are many other determinants of gross domestic product in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina besides budgetary expenditures. Therefore, the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth is just partial. Hence, development policy based on budgetary expenditures will lead to only small increase in economic output.

Classroom experiments related to investigating the centripetal force are often underrepresented in the physics teaching practice. This is largely due to the fact that schools lack the proper equipment and teachers lack the time to perform the rather tedious data collection procedures which are characteristic for some of the traditional experimental setups. A possible solution to this problem is to develop and utilize alternative experimental setups within the digital environment. In fact, earlier research has shown that new generations of students are highly motivated to learn physics in digital environments and that these environments often provide at least as efficient learning of concepts as traditional environments. In this article, we present an augmented reality Android application named CEntripetalForceAR (CEFAR) that allows students to experimentally investigate how centripetal force depends on the period of orbital motion and the orbital radius. A possible pedagogical approach to using CEFAR is also described, including suggestions on how CEFAR can be used to overcome some of the most common misconceptions related to circular motion. A user experience survey which included 163 first-year university students showed that CEFAR can be awarded an excellent usability rating. Most students stated that the application helped them to improve their understanding about centripetal force either by visualization or by the possibility to explore cause and effect relationships.

Background Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is recognized as one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, no systemic investigation of the genetic diversity of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato circulating among animals and humans in the country has been performed to date. Methods In this preliminary study, we analysed one cyst each from 36 sheep, 27 cattle, 27 pigs, 11 wild boars and 16 human patients for amplification and partial sequencing of the adenosine triphosphate 6 ( atp 6) and cytochrome c oxidase 1 ( cox 1) genes. The host species, fertility rate and organ cyst location were recorded for each subject involved in the study. Results Overall, the atp 6 gene was successfully amplified and sequenced from 110 samples, while 96 of the PCRs for cox 1 were positive. Three zoonotic genotypes of E. granulosus sensu stricto (G1 and G3) and Echinococcus canadensis (G7) were identified in our isolates based on analyses of the atp 6 gene. These genotypes were represented by 11 different genetic variants (haplotypes), six of which were identified for the first time in the present study. Conclusions This study demonstrates, for the first time, that CE in Bosnia and Herzegovina is predominantly caused by E. granulosus sensu stricto and E. canadensis clusters, which exhibited a lower genetic diversity compared to isolates from other European countries. Further molecular studies employing other mitochondrial and nuclear genes are required to better understand the transmission cycles of E. granulosus sensu stricto among intermediate and definitive hosts in the country. Graphical Abstract

Quantitative MRI (qMRI) probes the microstructural properties of the central nervous system (CNS) by providing biophysical measures of tissue characteristics. In this work, we aimed to (i) identify qMRI measures that distinguish histological lesion types in postmortem multiple sclerosis (MS) brains, especially the remyelinated ones; and to (ii) investigate the relationship between those measures and quantitative histological markers of myelin, axons, and astrocytes in the same experimental setting. Three fixed MS whole brains were imaged with qMRI at 3T to obtain magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), myelin water fraction (MWF), quantitative T1 (qT1), quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), fractional anisotropy (FA) and radial diffusivity (RD) maps. The identification of lesion types (active, inactive, chronic active, or remyelinated) and quantification of tissue components were performed using histological staining methods as well as immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Pairwise logistic and LASSO regression models were used to identify the best qMRI discriminators of lesion types. The association between qMRI and quantitative histological measures was performed using Spearman's correlations and linear mixed‐effect models. We identified a total of 65 lesions. MTR and MWF best predicted the chance of a lesion to be remyelinated, whereas RD and QSM were useful in the discrimination of active lesions. The measurement of microstructural properties through qMRI did not show any difference between chronic active and inactive lesions. MWF and RD were associated with myelin content in both lesions and normal‐appearing white matter (NAWM), FA was the measure most associated with axon content in both locations, while MWF was associated with astrocyte immunoreactivity only in lesions. Moreover, we provided evidence of extensive astrogliosis in remyelinated lesions. Our study provides new information on the discriminative power of qMRI in differentiating MS lesions ‐especially remyelinated ones‐ as well as on the relative association between multiple qMRI measures and myelin, axon and astrocytes.
