The use of contemporary information technologies is required to increase a country's competitiveness. Cloud computing represents one of the newer solutions in the IT industry, which has been rapidly evolving on a global scale in recent years. In light of this, the competitiveness of countries in the use of cloud computing is examined in this paper. A multi-criteria analysis was used to investigate this, utilizing the standard deviation and the simple additive method. The weight of the applications covered by the Eurostat survey was determined by the standard deviation, and the countries were ranked based on their use of cloud computing in their companies using a simple additive method. The findings revealed that cloud computing is most commonly used by Danish companies, while it is least common in Poland. Furthermore, the findings indicate that Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is ranked eighth in terms of cloud computing use, while the Republic of Serbia is ranked twenty-eighth. This paper concluded that companies should use cloud computing as much as possible to improve competitiveness and reduce business costs while maintaining all of the necessary programmers for good business management.

This paper presents different approaches to the concept of authenti- city in the context of applied linguistics and foreign language teaching. For decades, this term has been associated only with language material used in the classroom (reductionist definition), but recent studies highlight its conceptual diversification and conclude that it is determined by other, mostly contextual factors, as well as participants in interaction. Therefore, in modern approaches to foreign language teaching, the emphasis is on a dynamic and integrated approach to the concept of authenticity (Newby, 2000), where genuine input and genuine participatory tasks promoted by teachers generate students’ genuine output who thus authenticate them in the process of interaction that is situationally determined. Consequently, as a result, the notion of authenticity is reconceptualized: it is no longer an absolute category but can be considered as a pragmatic phenomenon (Shomoossi & Ketabi 2007) and a construct generated in the socio-contextual continuum (Pinner 2014, 2016), so it is viewed holistically and applies to various aspects and actors in the process of foreign language learning.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the association between heart function among obese patients and Type D personality to predict the potential risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Overall, 30 obese patients were evaluated for the DS14 score. Body mass with body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured before and after a 3-month period. Half of the subjects had been instructed to exercise 4-times weakly (walking 5 km/h) for an hour, the other half did not exercise. Additionally, STAX-1, SWLS, and QOLLTI-P questionnaires had been used. All participants had a normal CRP and sedimentation rate at the enrolment and after 3-month follow up. None of the psychological tests (STAX-1, SWLS and QLLTI-P) showed statistical difference in results between June and October. Participants who exercised showed lower HR compared to participants who did not exercise. Obese patients with high DS14 score showed reduced HRV as an additional risk factor for the future cardiovascular and other stress-related diseases. Type D personality was associated with an increased risk of CHD proved by the HRV measures when the individual was not exercising. Thus, individual personality in fact correlates to autonomic regulation of the heart.

Morocco has implemented various economic policies during the last decades. If the level of growth and the modernization seems relevant, the social programs were not efficient against poverty. During and now after the pandemic, an acceleration of the reforms seems to be considered by the authorities. This paper will analyze what was done and what the main challenges are for this country.

Certain research on the development of motor skills of children with hearing impairment shows that their abilities are not age-appropriate, although they have the same basis for development as hearing children. Education of children with hearing impairments is predominantly focused on hearing and speech rehabilitation, while activities related to music and sports are mostly neglected. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of musical-rhythmic stimulation on the development of selected motor skills of children with hearing impairment aged six to fifteen. For this purpose, a special music and dance program of workshops for 26 children with hearing impairments (12 boys and 14 girls) was created for the period of four and a half months. At the beginning of the program implementation, the initial measurement of body coordination and speed of movement was performed, and the final measurement through five standardized tests at the end. The paired samples t-test was used to analyze the effects of applied musical-rhythmic and dance stimulations. The results of the research indicated certain statistically significant differences in the ability to coordinate the body and speed of movement, i.e. that the program of music and dance workshops has a positive effect on the development of selected motor skills in children with hearing impairment.

Određena istraživanja o razvoju motoričkih sposobnosti djece s oštećenjem sluha pokazuju da njihove sposobnosti nisu u skladu s dobi iako imaju iste osnove za razvoj kao i čujuća djeca. Edukacija djece s oštećenjem sluha dominantno je usmjerena na rehabilitaciju sluha i govora, a aktivnosti vezane za glazbu i sport uglavnom su zanemarene. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati učinke glazbeno-ritmičkih stimulacija na razvoj odabranih motoričkih sposobnosti djece s oštećenjem sluha u dobi od šest do petnaest godina. Zbog toga je kreiran poseban glazbeno-plesni program radionica za 26 djece s oštećenjem sluha (12 dječaka i 14 djevojčica) u trajanju od četiri i pol mjeseca. Na početku realizacije programa provedeno je inicijalno mjerenje koordinacije tijela i brzine pokreta te po završetku finalno mjerenje kroz pet standardiziranih testova. Za analizu efekata primijenjenih glazbeno-ritmičkih i plesnih stimulacija korišten je t-test za završne uzorke (paired samples test). Rezultati su istraživanja ukazali na određene statistički značajne razlike u sposobnostima koordinacije tijela i brzine pokreta, odnosno da program glazbeno-plesnih radionica ima pozitivan učinak na razvoj odabranih motoričkih sposobnosti kod djece s oštećenjem sluha.

The paper presents the results of a comparison of brown rendzina and colluvial sinkhole at approximately the same altitudes and the same land use. The sites were located in the Kalati area within the National Park „Una“. More precisely, the places referred to the top of the sinkhole (brown rendzina top) and the bottom of the sinkhole (colluvial soil bottom). The main objective of the research, in addition to the physical and chemical parameters of soil quality, was to determine the distribution of the total content of cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and arsenic (As). The total content of these elements werw observed in composite samples at two depths of 0 – 10 and 0 – 20 cm and horizons profile. Their total content was measured by atomic adsorption spectrometry – AAS. The results were statistically analyzed using Kruskal Walisovog test at the significance level of p ≤ 0.05 using correlation coefficient χ. The results showed a single legality of the distribution of Cd, Ni and As in samples of soil profile, while the average soil samples showed unique legality of the distribution of observed elements.
