<br />
]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the presence of modern marketing &amp; information systems, it becomes almost a necessity to have a cohesive online environment for transferring and getting information about a certain topic. Almost all people use the internet (specifically the world wide web) to gain access to information relative to their needs. Of course, the big topics such as education, medicine, politics and e-commerce make up a large amount of online information systems, serving as an alternative to old-fashioned paper-based education methods (books, prints, scripts…), medicine documentation (health-records, doctor analysis, medical tests…), legal documents (warranties, document prints…) and so on and so forth. The old methods of physical data storage and access have been replaced by modern online systems, allowing people not only to gain access remotely but to reduce the total amount of space used up by the information (from rooms filled with documents to rooms filled with terabytes of storage). This information system concept, referred to as IT system, is one of the key-points in making the below described application.<br />
Another key-point to the development of this app relates to the importance of marketing and social events on the effect of tourism. Many big cities today live off of the money created from tourism. Whether we like it or not, foreign people like to spend time in our cities and are more inclined to spend their money on as many events and traditions as they possibly can in the short amount of time they have. Sarajevo is no exception, as it has long stood as the “Jerusalem of Europe”, bringing in tourists from all over the world. Hence, It would be important to inform the tourists of the main attractions and places to spend their valuable time at.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those two key-points make up the bulk of the idea behind this application: Create an online information system for tourists and locals to discover new events and places to spend their time at. Not only would it serve as a convenient tool to have at everyday disposal, but it would also allow for marketing and discovering lesser known events and places all in one place, along with many other useful features, ensuring everyone stays up to date with the current situation in Sarajevo.<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[LONG-TERM FORECASTING OF ENERGY, ELECTRICITY AND ACTIVE POWER DEMAND – BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA CASE STUDY]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords: Forecasting; MAED; Energy; Electricity; Active Power.  ABSTRACT  Accurate forecast of electricity consumption is important for every electric power company because it determines the dynamics and characteristics of future construction of power facilities. Speaking in the long term, if the forecasts were too low or high, it could cause a number of adverse events leading electricity companies in the generation deficit or complex financial problems due to excessive investment in generating facilities that are not fully utilized. This paper presents the results of the forecast energy demand, electricity and active power of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H) system, using the Model for Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED) methodology. Modelling of base year is done on the basis of available statistical data and trends in individual sectors upon trends in other European countries. Results were compared with forecasts that were prepared by other methods in other time periods.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[LOVE AND HATRED IN TWO LANGUAGES: CROSS-CULTURAL ANALYSIS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Living in a world that has become a &#039;global village&#039; makes different nations seem very similar - we dress in a very similar way, we listen to the similar music, we sometimes even use the same words. But how similar are we when it comes to understanding another person’s culture and values related to some of the general notions, such as love and hatred? The authors of this paper come from two countries that speak Slavic languages and are in many ways similar: Russia and Croatia. This similarity initiated a cross-cultural research described further in the paper. The authors have compared the meanings of two opposite notions (a value and an anti-value) - love and hatred - with regard to the meaning and importance they have in these two countries and how they are used in their respective languages. The definitions of the value love were collected from various available dictionaries in different areas and then analyzed as semantic components. Then the same procedure was conducted with the anti-value hatred. Since these semantic components are used in sentences/phrases in Russian and Croatian in various ways, their comparison has been made. Furthermore, students of two universities (one Russian and one Croatian) filled in a questionnaire regarding the meaning these notions have for them. The purpose of the questionnaire was to help the authors find out whether there are similarities/differences in how these two notions are perceived in their respective countries and languages and whether their meanings and importance for the culture differ. The obtained results will offer some insight into the Russian and Croatian languages when compared on the linguistic and cultural level with regard to a value and an anti-value.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[For the European Union, in whose framework still dominates the European  Community, it discusses how to deliver (great project) European  unification, which started on the ground ruined Europe after World War II,  in 50 years of the last century. Motivated by the idea that the association  of European countries is a far better alternative to the previous mutually  confronted Europe, a project called (European Union) in the following  decades led to the emergence of a new, unprecedented work on European  soil-European Union. European Union, in its present form is the product of  more than 50 years of evolution of European integration, which today  despite initial six Western European countries including the former main  rivals Germany and France includes 27 member countries of the Union, as  well as many other countries with candidate status for membership in the  European Union. Seen in the development context, the Union is not a  preconceived model of the association of European countries, but is the  product of a complex multiple decade-long process of integration in which  different actors are involved. Within this process, depending on the  achieved level of integration, the Union received a different shape. In its  present form and name as the European Union it occurs even in the early  nineties of the last century, long before it passed through small-scale  forms of integration. More decades of European integration is based on  the desire of European countries for the mutual integration, based on the  firmly expressed mutual interest. The motives for each integrating a variety  of security to purely economic and political, more or less pronounced in  each Member State of the European Union. Of the many factors that have  influenced the emergence and development of the European Communitiesand their transformation into today&#039;s Union to distinguish political and  security interests of Member States. Hardly any integration project has had  such a long initial period as foreign and security policy of the failure of the  European Defense Community, 1954, to the Treaties of Maastricht (1992),  Amsterdam (1999) and Nice (2000). Due to political constraints on the  sovereignty and political interests of the Union, by the end of the Cold War  efforts on building security and defense policy were unsuccessful.  Excessive force was Europe&#039;s dependence on NATO and U.S. nuclear  protection.  Keywords: Security, Integration, EU Policy, Countries, Agreements.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[K-means and hierarchical clustering algorithms are employed to cluster genes according to the gene expression to determine the harming level of the genes in brain cancer. The gene expression data with a control group from The Cancer Genome Atlas database were used. The optimal cluster number for each clustering technique was obtained using the elbow method and dendrogram for K-means and hierarchical clustering methods respectively. We identified the ideal number of clusters as three and further classified them into seven groups. We observed that the second cluster contains over half the genes in healthy people and the cluster distribution of a healthy patient and a patient who died six months after being diagnosed with brain cancer is similar. Further analysis indicated that of all the time spent by patients after<br />
being diagnosed with brain cancer, group 0 has the highest percentage in one month after the diagnosis, while group -2 has the lowest percentage. Most genes shift their clusters when Kmeans and hierarchical clustering techniques we compared with the genes from the control and disease groups. The result of the measure of dissimilarity between the genes expression patterns indicates that the K-means technique outperforms the hierarchical technique with a higher rate<br />
of change in the cluster.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Machine Learning-Driven Prediction of Heart Strokes]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[<div style="text-align:justify;">Heart strokes remain one of the leading health risks in the world today. Timely prediction can significantly improve patient outcomes and healthcare resource allocation. This study aims to harness machine learning techniques to develop efficient predictive models for the early detection of heart strokes. <br />Research is based on a dataset created by combining different (five) datasets. The dataset encompasses patient demographics, clinical measurements, and historical medical records. The analysis focused on five machine learning models: Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine. <br />The goal was not only to test different algorithms, but also to understand how data preparation, feature selection, and model choice impact the final results. The models were trained and tested on both the original dataset and an extended version, where new features were added by combining existing ones. <br />The results showed that models such as Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and KNN performed better when applied to the original data. The Decision Tree model achieved an accuracy of 87.8% and an F1 score of 0.881, while Logistic Regression and K-Nearest Neighbors each attained F1 scores of 0.850 and 0.849, respectively. On the other hand, Random Forest and SVM showed significant improvements with the extended dataset. Random Forest performed the best overall, with an F1 score of 0.920 and an accuracy of 91.6% with enhanced results. <br />SVM also benefited from enhanced results, improving its F1 score from 0.892 to 0.879, which highlights how specific models can leverage additional features for improved generalization. <br />This tool could help detect risks earlier, allowing for timely interventions and prevention, thereby reducing the burden of strokes on healthcare systems and improving patient care. Limitations include data quality and availability, as well as potential bias in healthcare records.</div>]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this paper is to study the impact of macroeconomic factors in the amount of nonperforming loans in Albanian banking sectors by using multi regression analysis model from 2003 to 2012. This paper studies the relationship between the amount of non-performing loans and six important macroeconomic factors which are: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate, inflation rate, money supply (M2) annual growth rate, interest rate, unemployment rate and exchange rate. The multi regression analysis suggests that all variables have a negative impact in the non-performing loan level except inflation and exchanges rates. Moreover the time forecasting analysis predicts an increase in NPL level in Albanian Banking System.    Keywords: Albania, Banking System, Macroeconomics, NPL, Credit risk.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Macroeconomic determinants of Sustainable Development  in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The origin of term sustainable development comes from forestry and it means the extent of  cutting and putting the new trees on the planet. Synonymous for it is sustainability and it  refers to ability to endure as much longer as it is possible. This paper shows the degree of  correlation between sustainable development in Bosnia and Herzegovina and five  macroeconomic determinants: unemployment, export, import, average salaries and CPI as a  measure for inflation. The paper provides information about importance of economy in this  process and it explains all variables that are used. It is based on the period of five consecutive  years (2007-2011). Research for all of five variables was conducted on monthly basis for this  period, so in total it provides 58 data (January and February of 2007 are excluded) for each  variable. Next thing that this paper shows is the current position of the country in terms of its  development. The paper represents a combination of basic research (provides a lot of useful  information about the topic) and quantitative research (shows numerical results that are  gotten by the analysis of the problem). Unemployment, as one of the biggest and growing  problems in the country, is dependent variable and paper tries to prove relationships among  this variable and the others. Results in the paper are obtained through descriptive analysis.  The paper provides data about causes for high unemployment in our country and it shows  how much impact each variables mentioned above have or does it have at all. Finally, paper  shows on what country should put more emphasize in order to improve its current position  and to be able to compete with more developed countries.
