    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Application of Jus Cogens Norms in UN Peacekeeping Missions: A Possible Source of Conflict with the UN Charter?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Summary: Peacekeeping missions represent an important and significant part in the United Nations (UN) security system. Although this peacekeeping missions (PKM) aim to protect human rights, maintain security and peace, within this operations regularly human rights violations and other misconduct by peacekeepers is reported. In the Nuhanovic case (2011) the Dutch Court of Appeals, as the first national court, used the effective control test which confirmed the principle that troop- contributing states can be liable for internationally wrongful acts of their troops who are embedded in the UN peacekeepers. This case represents a key shift in the theory and practice when dealing with state liability for human rights violations attributable to states operating under an international organisation. This article has created a more creative approach, to the complex matter of liability in UN PKM, even going further then the Dutch courts did, showing that jus cogens norms, have priority over all other international law and that troop contributing states can always rely on this concept when engaging their troops through UN PKM.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ANALYSIS OF THE GROWTH ACCELERATION PHENOMENA WITHINH BOSNIAN AND HERZEGOVINIANS BORN BETWEEN 1991-1995]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Study was conducted from October 2014 till March 2015. Youth born in 1991-1995 during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina were an object of this analysis. Prerequisite was that they were born in Bosnia and Herzegovina and that they spent the rest of the war in the country. A total sample size was 1012 young people from which 596 females and 416 males, 20-24 years old. They were subjected to self reported measurements of body weight and body height to identify and analyze the main indicators of growth and development considering that the population spent part of their life in the extremely adverse conditions of the four year aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina. The average body height in females was 167,37±6,00 cm and in males 182,77±6,57 cm. We performed our male data comparison with first measurements of the 20-24 years old Bosnian soldiers from 1895. Average body height of Bosnian soldiers in Austro-Hungarian army was 172, 35 ± 5,54 cm. Difference between these two groups was t=31,17 and statistical significance is p&lt;0,01. The average body weight of males born from 1992-1995 was 82,02±11,69 kg, and average body weight of females 59,28±7,35 kg. Regardless of the war conditions in which young people are born and grown up, we can conclude that Bosnia and Herzegovina follows the trend of growth acceleration. Improving the life conditions in the period of 100 years has led to the fact that there has been an    increase in body height. In comparing with an average body height of other European countries, we can conclude that the studied population belongs to a very high nation.  Keywords: anthropometry, growth acceleration, Bosnian and Herzegovinian population]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract  This paper addresses an important issue of an impact of trade liberalisation on export structure and product concentration, which, according to contemporary findings, have a strong influence on the dynamics of an economic growth. The analysis covers the region of the Western Balkans (WB) in years 1995 – 2013 with an emphasis on Stabilisation and Association Process (SAP) and CEFTA-2006 agreement, which formed the basis for the trade liberalisation in the region. The empirical results provide evidence that is in contrary to the evidence from other countries where trade liberalisation resulted in their deepened specialisation in production and export of raw materials and labour-intensive goods. Moreover, liberalisation processes turned out not to have had much impact on product concentration of the WB’s trade. Finally, substitutability of capital and labour factors in the production process of exported goods was confirmed.  Key words: Western Balkans, international trade, trade]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[BREAKING FRAME IN MAKING HUMOR - ON THE DISCOURSE OF SATIRE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper focuses on a thoroughly pervasive logical and linguistic device – framing. We will see how framing is performed in the discourse of satire and how it contributes to the humorous effect thereof. The analysis will be done on a very specific satiric corpus i.e. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Throughout the end of the paper it will be shown how humor arises with the breaking of frames (Goffman, 1974), and consequently leads to successful satire. Stemming from the very nature of the corpus in question, a latenight TV show, three instances of breaking frame were determined: linguistic, logical, and visual.     Keywords: frame, breaking frame, satire, cognitive linguistics, GTVH, humor research, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Do Size and Origin Matter?   Evidence from the Banking Market of Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper supports research activities related to the performances of banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Observing diversified, decentralized and inhomogeneous banking market of Bosnia and Herzegovina arises questions such as whether large banks are better than small banks or whether foreign owned banks are better than locally owned banks. The main purpose of this study is to compare banks of different size and ownership origin in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The dataset includes 162 bank-years data and 24 financial ratios. The results show that small banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina have significantly higher net interest margin and are better capitalized than large banks. Large banks, however earn almost double interest revenue per employee compared to small banks. Foreign banks are significantly larger compared to local banks. It is also possible to discriminate between banks of different size and origin based on their financial performance.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Main objective of this study is to identify key Leasing performance factors  that influence customer satisfaction in VB Leasing and other leasing companies. On  the basis of literature review, eight independent and one dependent variable have  been identified, and specific measuring items were developed accordingly. Structured  survey was prepared on the basis of mentioned measuring items to measure related  variables, and it was used as main instrument in this study. Survey has been sent in online  form to clients of VB Leasing via e-mail and social networks. Out of 250 managers who  received the survey, 200 respondents completed it which gives response rate of 80%.  Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics in excel, but main methodology  was regression analysis using SPSS. The findings indicated that there is a significant  positive relationship between Processing Speed (PS), Form Simplicity (FS), Image of  Leasing Company (CI), Communication with Company (CC), Annuity Ammount (AA)  and Grace Period (GP) on Customer Satisfaction (CS). On the other hand, there is no  relationship between Interest Ammount (IA) and Down Payment (DP) with Customer  Satisfaction (CS). Research is completed in one company operating in Bosnia and  Herzegovina (BH) and it is suggested for future research to do the study considering  more companies, to test more different independent variables and do the research  in all cantons of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, entity Republic Srpska and  District Brčko.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In today’s competitive business, marketers are trying to find the most  effective way to promote their products and serviced, and reach a greater audience.  Since the introduction of the internet, marketing professionals have been using digital  advertisements more and more. It is easy, cheap and they can reach a huge population  which would be impossible to reach by other means. Another way to advertise  digitally is the gaming industry. This paper focuses on finding how effective this type of  advertising really is. In the first part of the paper, a brief introduction and an overview  of previous research on this topic will be presented. The following part focused on  investigating if participants who played a sports video game had a higher recall rate  and purchase intention of advertised products than participants watching a televised  football game. Evidence from the gathered data suggests that advertising via video  games is indeed more effective than televised gaming. Furthermore, different variables  like satisfaction level and gaming experience were tested in order to see if they had  an effect on increasing recall rate of gamers. Again, the evidence was sufficient to  conclude that these variables did increase the recall rate of advertisements in sports  video games. As such, this paper provides some justification to companies willing to  invest into marketing their products in video games, and are reassuring the companies  that already do.]]></dcterms:abstract>

Each student has the ability to learn, yet learning occurs more easily and quickly if they choose the best way to learn. Students during this process consciously or unconsciously   choose their own way to learn. This study aims to determine O&#039;Malley and Chamot, Oxford and Cohen learning strategies using their researches.
