]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The goal of this project is to provide tourists and visitors with a more efficient and personalized experience in the city of Sarajevo. The idea of GuideMeSarajevo is an easy-to-use and centralized platform, both for providers and users. The problem addressed is the lack of information provided to guests upon their arrival. Enabling visitors to choose their own preferences instead of predefining their whole stay is the main goal.<br />
The methods and procedures involve designing a web platform using Java and React as main technologies, implementation of a login and registration process with hashing passwords and JWT token authentication. Featuring the categorization of locations, tours, and car rentals, along with an interactive map of different attractions across Sarajevo. The platform enables regular users to browse, book, and save services for later, while leaving room for providers (admins) to create and offer their personalized utilities. The system ensures usability across modular design and a responsive user interface.<br />
Results show a useful platform that simplifies tourism and navigation in Sarajevo. Using interactive elements like maps and categorized utilities, the application increases user engagement. Enables providers to manage offerings quickly and attract more consumers to their businesses.<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Web Presence of Hotels in Canton Sarajevo]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Making a website has become a necessity for any modern hotel operating nowadays. Creating an effective website for a business, such as a hotel, can contribute to its success. It changes the way of presenting particular services in a way that is available to anyone from anywhere around the globe. A person who is sitting in his or her chair in front of a computer can access all the information and services that a particular hotel is providing. In general, e-commerce is an efficient way of conducting business that replaces more effortful traditional way involving physical contact. However, to be successful, the website needs to be well designed and built in order to be adopted by the customers. The key criteria for good website design suggested by the literature include: functionality (e.g. information, instruction), usability (e.g. simplicity, ease of use) and appeal (e.g. color, graphics). Every customer wants to be able to get the required information from the website in the simplest and easiest way possible. In the case of hotels, visual presentation of hotel amenities is equally significant. It can stand out as a point-of-difference for targeted customers. A single hotel can also benefit from joining global websites that connect many hotels in one place. Higher ratings can be obtained based on the quality of provided information and presentation because these ratings are based on actual human perceptions and experiences. Given all of the above said, this research study will examine how important is web presence for ratings and business success of selected hotels in Canton Sarajevo. A survey-based method will be employed to collect customer satisfaction data.  Keywords: E-commerce. E-business, web presence, user satisfaction, hotel.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Web Scraping for Price Tracking of Electronics Across E-commerce Platforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina<br />
]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This project focuses on addressing the challenges of monitoring and comparing electronic product prices across multiple e-commerce platforms. The goal is to develop a web-based price tracking and comparison system that allows users to identify the best deals and analyze potential misleading sales practices. The problem statement highlights the increasing difficulty for consumers to navigate numerous online stores and verify price changes due to the dynamic nature of e-commerce. The methodology involves using web scraping techniques with Python libraries such as BeautifulSoup and Selenium to extract real-time product price data from targeted e-commerce websites (e.g., ekupi.ba, imtec.ba, univerzalno.ba, technomag.com). The collected data is processed and stored in a MySQL database, while the user interface is built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery to display the results. PHP handles server-side functionality for querying and presenting data dynamically. The results demonstrate a functional system capable of displaying product prices across multiple platforms, highlighting the cheapest and most expensive options. Users can also identify suspicious pricing trends, enhancing transparency in online shopping. In conclusion, this price comparison and tracking system provides an efficient and user-friendly solution for monitoring electronic product prices, empowering users to make informed purchasing decisions. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Western pedagogical models of writing center tutorials: Can they be effective  in the Middle East?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper presents the findings of a study of writing center tutorial practices  in a Middle Eastern university where the language of instruction is English. Data from  stimulated recall activities, written observations, and interviews were analyzed to assess  the effectiveness of writing center tutorials in a Middle-Eastern Writing Center. The data  revealed that tutees noticed an improvement in their assignments, believed that their  concerns had been addressed, and that they had acquired transferable skills. Most tutees  assessed their tutors positively, valuing tutors who inspired confidence and were able to  explain concepts clearly. Although tutees appreciated knowledgeable tutors, they valued  egalitarian peer-tutoring relationships. Tutors reported that tutorial sessions improved  their tutees‘ assignments and that tutees had acquired transferable skills. Nevertheless,  tutors were critical of their own performance. Some tutors admitted to lacking the  knowledge necessary to explain certain writing concepts, including grammatical  concepts; some felt they dominated the tutorials, and others felt their approach was too  directive. The data revealed that both tutors and tutees preferred the directive approach  for lower order concerns and a non-directive approach for higher order concerns. This  study shows that diverse tutoring models that accommodate the background and  experiences of Middle Eastern students, and their particular strengths and weaknesses,  should be considered. It recommends tutorial training that emphasizes flexibility and  recognizes the distinctive nature of each tutorial situation and the opportunity it presents  to address the needs and expectations of individual students. These findings could signal  a direction for the development of writing center pedagogy that focuses on the  linguistically and culturally diverse students in the Middle East.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Albania is a country in transition and after the communism period it has been in a difficult path for overcoming many social, political and economic difficulties. This paper emphasizes the importance of fiscal policy such as government spending and tax collection to foster and promote economic growth and to reduce the poverty. This research paper will be focused on the effectiveness of fiscal policy and the taxation system of this developing country. Albania is currently using a flat tax system where this tax is 20% for consumption and 10% for income.    The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between fiscal policy and economic growth which is measured by GDP per capita. Through the regression analysis, it will be defined which policy, government spending or tax collection, has a better and stronger effect on the economy.     The main points of this study are related to the analysis of what are the effects of government activities on the economic growth? What is the fiscal policy in Albania during the last decade? Is the tax system effective and profitable? Can Albania be a potential place for investment and doing business?    Keywords: Government spending, tax system, economic growth, investment, business.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: This paper analyses the net trade credit and its determinants for a sample of 25 non-financial firms for the period 2011-2013. The sample is derived from the Macedonian Stock Exchange. The net trade credit is the dependent variable. The dependent variable is defined as the difference between trade receivables and liabilities, and then this difference is divided by total assets. The maturity structure of assets, profitability, inventory investment, cash to assets ratio, long-term financing, total debt financing, and converting sales into cash are the independent variables.  This study used the Shapiro-Wilk W test for normality, Kernel density estimation, Variance Inflation Factor for multicollinearity, and the model specification link test for single-equation models. The obtained results show that more profitable firms and with higher current assets and cash ratio have positive net trade credits. The net trade credit is significantly negatively associated with inventory to total assets ratio and net cash flows from operating activities to sales. On the other hand, the net trade credit is significantly positively associated with current assets to total assets ratio and profitability.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[What Determines the Firm’s Net Trade credit? Evidence from Macedonian Listed Firms]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper analyzes the net trade credit and its determinants for a sample of 23 non-financial firms for the year 2011. The sample is derived from Macedonian Stock Exchange. The net trade credit is the dependent variable. Dependent variable is defined as the difference between trade receivables and liabilities, and then this difference is divided by total assets. Maturity structure of assets, size, profitability, inventory investment, and cash to assets ratio, long-term financing, total debt financing, and converting sales into cash are the independent variables. Both types of variables, dependent and independent are quantitative variables. Both are expressed on their book values.  Variables are transformed and necessary post-selection adjustments will be done. Data and results are checked using Shapiro-Wilk W test for normality, Kernel density estimation, Cameron &amp; Trivedi’s decomposition of IM-test and Breusch-Pagan / Cook-Weisberg test for heteroscedasticity, Variance Inflation Factor for multicollinearity, the model specification link test for single-equation models, and the regression specification error test for omitted variables. Relevant conclusions are drawn based on Spearman and regression analysis. Obtained results show that firms with more net trade credit are more profitable. Firms with higher portion of current assets are bigger firms and invest more in inventory than counterparties. Bigger firms have more inventory than smaller firms. Firms with higher leverage ratios are less able to convert sales into cash.  Net trade credit is negatively significant associated with inventory to assets ratio, leverage ratio, and net cash flows from operating activities to sales. Net trade credit is positively significant associated with current assets to total assets ratio. Profitability is found statistically significant determinant, but with beta and standard error equal zero. Results show that net trade credit ratio on average is slightly small, but positive. A positive net trade credit indicates that on average trade receivables are higher than trade payables. With other words, analyzed firms for the analyzed period have sell more than have bought on credit.  Keywords: net trade credit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, financial ratios, regression.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>
