    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Because Tumblr-Internet-Speak: Four Assumptions of Discourse Analysis Within New Rules of the English Language]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The literature has described linguistic deviations from the conventional use of English in<br />
Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) as distinguishing aspects of language used on<br />
the Internet. (Page, Barton, Unger, Zappavigna, 2014) The purpose of this paper is to analyse<br />
the unique language patterns seen on Tumblr, a popular microblogging platform, and how<br />
these patterns fit into four assumptions of discourse analysis as described by Rodney H. Jones<br />
(2009). Using a textual analysis method on a corpus of 60 texts extracted from Tumblr, this<br />
paper shows how four assumptions of discourse analysis can be found in Tumblr posts. The<br />
four assumptions of discourse analysis are that language is ambiguous, it is always in the<br />
world, it is used to show belonging to social groups, and it is never used alone. The ambiguity<br />
of language is taken advantage of, and Tumblr users use this ambiguity as a way of creating<br />
new vocabulary. New terms on Tumblr are coined and used by different social groups to show<br />
their association or aversion to said groups. Furthermore, textual analysis shows how Tumblr<br />
users mostly use language such as contractions, abbreviated forms, and acronyms in their<br />
blogs, which indicates that the said language is always in the world - the context in which,<br />
when, and for what a language is used determines what it signifies. Lastly, the analysis shows<br />
that the language is never used all by itself: non-standard use of punctuation adds tone to the<br />
text, and it functions as a ranting tone that impersonates rhetorical speech.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Attitudes Towards the Use of Anglicisms in the Croatian Language of Medicine]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this research paper, we will explore the laypersons&amp;#39; attitudes towards the use of Anglicisms<br />
in medical language. Some communication difficulties may arise between patients and their<br />
doctors because patients&amp;#39; knowledge of medicine and medical terminology is insufficient.<br />
Therefore, they often remain uninformed and misunderstood.<br />
A questionnaire-based study was carried out among 100 laypersons in Rijeka, Croatia. It<br />
aimed to explore understanding, acceptance, use, and need for Croatian equivalents, which<br />
show their attitudes towards using Anglicisms in medical communication. The findings show<br />
some statistically significant differences in terms of understanding and use of Anglicisms with<br />
respect to the age of the respondents and the level of their education. The respondents mainly<br />
justify the use of English medical terms in medicine when there is no adequate Croatian<br />
equivalent. However, a high percentage of them support the need for creating Croatian<br />
equivalents, which should be more understandable and transparent than the English ones. We<br />
can conclude that Anglicisms are widely used in the Croatian medical language, but the<br />
Croatian equivalents should be created in collaboration between doctors and linguists.]]></dcterms:abstract>

<br />
A Look Back at Twenty Years of American Presence]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The history of Afghanistan is abundant in crises, coups, assassinations, political intrigues, as well<br />
as invasions and conquests. The last 40 years have been marked by long crises and conflicts:<br />
Soviet invasion 1979-1989, the civil war 1989-2001, the American invasion 2001-2021 with<br />
disastrous consequences for the country and the people. The invasion carried out in the name of<br />
‘war on terrorism’, ‘bringing democracy’ and ‘freedom’, as a matter of fact, led to instability,<br />
turmoil, sectarian wars, deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and the formation of new terrorist<br />
organizations in the country, rather than peace and stability. War has become commonplace in<br />
Afghanistan. Once seen as the ‘shining star’ of Central Asia, Afghanistan is now known as the<br />
country exporting terrorism, drugs and refugees. The paper aims at showing causes and<br />
consequences of two decades long American presence in Afghanistan that left lasting imprint on<br />
Afghan society.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ROLE OF FINTECH IN FINANCIAL INCLUSION OF SMALL &amp; MEDIUM<br />
ENTERPRISES (SME) IN INDIA<br />
]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Fintech is the application of technology in financial services, combining techniques such as hardware, software, and cloud with a financial platform like Banks, NBFCs, wealth management firms etc. The traditional banking system is going through a digital transformation with the help of these Fintech companies. These companies are acting as game changer by designing innovative digital platforms, with the common end goal of enhancing financial inclusion of SMEs. Small &amp; Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the engine that drives the economy and contributes to the GDP in India. These entities do not have access to easy finance due to issues like lack of collateral and credit history. Traditional financial institutions adopt a cautious process when make small-unsecured loans and moreover they prefer loans only against collateral. So there is a greater need for adequate financial support for small and medium enterprises. However, Banks are partnering with FinTech firms and are taking the entire process online to reduce the transaction cost and turnaround time. They are looking for alternative sources of data to measure the creditworthiness of SMEs. This has led to the emergence of a new sector known as alternative lending, which is essentially an online platform for lenders (retail or institutional) to lend directly to borrowers (individual or corporate). While traditional organizations evaluate balance sheets, P&amp;L statements and other documents of the business, Fintech platforms use AI and advanced machine learning algorithms to rate the SME’s creditworthiness. Fintech platforms lay specific importance to digital data available in an ecosystem like bank transactions, cash flow, and importance is given to company ratings from credit reporting agencies. This research paper talks about how the fintech firms are contributing towards the financial inclusion of SMEs by introducing them with various financial products and a digital lending platform. It looks at the opportunities available to the Fintech sector as well as the challenges faced by them. It is a qualitative study based on an open questionnaire format. The study further looks at the specific needs of the SME sector regarding financing and how Fintech companies are bridging the gap of financing for these SMEs.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study aimed to investigate and analyze the effects of various forms of corruption and their intensity on the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H). Both primary and secondary data were utilized for this research. Primary data was gathered using a qualitative research approach, which is well-suited for providing insights into complex social issues where quantitative data alone is insufficient. It is recommended that sensitive and intricate topics such as corruption be explored primarily through qualitative methods.<br />
The research involved  five direct standardized interviews, chosen for their ability to yield rich data and deeper insights into the phenomenon under study. Interviews are generally favored for their direct interaction and flexibility. However, they  have limitations, including being time and energy-consuming, costly compared to surveys, challenges in recruiting willing participants, potential for biased responses, and overall efficiency. The principal challenge encountered in this study was finding participants willing to engage, as some lacked the necessary time for interviews while others were uncomfortable discussing corruption in our society.<br />
The interviewees identified bribery, fraud, and favoritism as the most prevalent forms of corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H), each contributing equally to economic stagnation. These corrupt practices are seen as reducing GDP, enlarging the grey economy, and hindering international development. Bribery and favoritism, in particular, are noted for their detrimental effects on the country’s budget, with even state leaders exacerbating the issue through inappropriate resource distribution, thereby causing significant economic damage beyond just financial losses. Moreover, the interviewees highlighted that bribery and favoritism deter foreign direct investment (FDI) since investors struggle to navigate pervasive corruption at all levels, leading to a general mistrust in the system. In terms of market competition, favoritism is believed to play a substantial role by allowing those with influential connections to distort business conditions. Additionally,  hiring unskilled and unprofessional employees was cited as negatively impacting company productivity, the quality of products and services, and customer satisfaction. <br />
Due to the severe economic challenges in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H), coupled with unfavorable labor market conditions and the prevalence of bribery and favoritism, the country is experiencing an increase in emigration rates, predominantly driven by the brain drain effect. The widespread corruption undermines the principle of equality in society, exacerbating general poverty and widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Typically, the less affluent members of society suffer more from corruption, as well-connected individuals exploit these conditions to their advantage at the expense of others.<br />
To effectively combat corruption, the initiative must begin with the state itself. The rule of law must be enforced uniformly, applying equally to all, regardless of status. The House of Representatives of the Parliament of FB&amp;H must pass the Law on the Protection of Whistleblowers, and the government should implement a support and reward system for those who report corruption. Although the state has enacted several anti-corruption strategies, these must be continually monitored and updated to close any loopholes that are exploited. The interviewees recommend the introduction of stricter penalties and increased media involvement to ensure the public is informed about corruption cases and their outcomes.<br />
The most effective method to combat corruption in our country, for both companies and individuals, involves improving individual culture and raising awareness of corruption&#039;s detrimental effects. The interview results indicate a strong desire for companies to organize anti-corruption training, making employees aware of the consequences of engaging in corrupt practices. Additionally, people should be encouraged to report corruption, with assurances of protection for those who choose to come forward. While corruption has been extensively studied globally, research specific to Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H) remains scarce and outdated. In B&amp;H, corruption has unfortunately become embedded at various levels of governance—state, entity, and cantonal—making it one of the foremost economic concerns, alongside issues like trade deficits, brain drain, extensive bureaucracy, and entrenched political hierarchies. Given the country’s high and increasing levels of corruption, which are impeding its process of joining the European Union, this issue must receive further academic and practical scrutiny. <br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Great Theater]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In Bosnia and Herzegovina, buying tickets for theaters and cinemas can be difficult because there is no single platform to make the process easy. People often need to visit different websites or buy tickets in person, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient. This makes it harder for people to enjoy cultural events and limits the ability of theaters and cinemas to attract more visitors.<br />
<br />
The Great Theater project solves this problem by creating a web application where users can quickly find and buy tickets for any theater or cinema in the country. The application shows all important details like the name of the play or movie, the theater, the city, the time, and the price on easy-to-use cards. This helps users book tickets without having to visit multiple websites or locations.<br />
<br />
The project focuses on building this system using simple and modern web tools. A central database will store all event details, and the design will ensure the application is easy to use. The system will also include secure payment options and be able to handle many users at once.<br />
<br />
This project aims to create a working application that makes it simple for people to buy tickets and enjoy cultural events. By connecting theaters, cinemas, and their audiences, Great Theater helps improve access to entertainment in Bosnia and Herzegovina.<br />
