    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNICATION ON BRAND EQUITY AND  BRAND PURCHASE INTENTION: A CASE STUDY ON DOMESTIC BRANDS IN  BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Social media is forming an increasingly central part of how companies  communicate their marketing strategies to their customers. Online communities carry  a strong and influential voice, and there is much to be gained from engaging directly  with people through these channels – whether it is reaching and keeping existing  customers or acquiring new ones.  In light of such positive ground for social media this study aims to provide an empirical  analysis of the impact social media communication has on brand equity and purchase  intention. A systematic literature review has been conducted in order to understand  how the dimensions of social media create word of mouth i.e. electronic word of  mouth (E-WOM) on social media platforms and how this E-WOM further influences  brand equity and customers’ purchase intention of domestic brands in Bosnia and  Herzegovina.  300 data sets were generated through a standardized online-survey and analyzed in  SPSS.  The results of the empirical study showed that both .rm-created and user-generated  social media communication in.uence brand equity, consequently impacting brand  purchase intention.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Effects of the Demographic Changes on Private Consumption: An Almost Ideal Demand System Analysis for Austria]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The following paper analyzes potential effects of the demographic changes on private consumption. An extended Almost Ideal Demand System is used to simulate changes in the consumption of goods and services due to the ageing of the population in Austria – on national as well as regional level. Therefore, age-specific income elasticity and price elasticity are estimated. The estimated model is used to simulate the consumption structure in 2030 for four scenarios: Firstly, only the ageing process of the population is considered. Secondly, the ageing as well as changes in household structure are taken into account. Scenario three and four furthermore consider potential changes in income distribution due to the ageing as well as price changes and its effects on the consumption structure of the ageing society. The results reveal direct positive effects of the ageing of the population on the consumption shares of food and non-alcoholic beverages, housing, water and fuel, health, as well as miscellaneous goods and services, while the consumption category transport looses the highest proportion in total consumption. But it can also be seen that these results do not hold anymore as soon as potential changes in income distribution – as indirect effect of the ageing – are considered.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Effects of the global economic crisis and public spending  on income distribution in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This research focuses on the relationship between public spending and  income distribution in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H). In our empirical  strategy we rely on a unique survey data used to establish a proxy for  inequality over the observed period 2000-2010. In addition, we investigate  the consequences of contemporary global economic and financial crisis on  income distribution. We find indications that the global economic crisis,  with its B&amp;H onset in 2009-2010, has increased income inequality in B&amp;H.  Our findings also imply that increased public spending and improvement in  the quality of institutions in B&amp;H were supportive in reducing income  inequality over the observed period. After examining several institutional  indicators, we identify a particular importance of political stability in B&amp;H  as a determinant of income distribution and inequality. Disaggregated  analysis of public spending by functional and economic categories revealed  that higher expenditures for social protection and capital spending are  associated with lower income inequality. Contrary, higher expenditures for  education are linked with higher income inequality.  Keywords: Inequality, Income Distribution, Southeast Europe, Global  Economic Crisis, Public Spending, Education Expenditures, Health  Expenditures, Social Expenditures.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There are a number of methods for producing biocomposite materials for different  purposes. Wet lying methods are widely used in utilising especially short cellulosic fibres  which offers random mixing and formation of homogenous filtrate over a travelling web. The  method also contains wet pressing and controlled drying stages for achieving maximum fibrefibre  bonding. Fibres having different chemical compositions and physical properties behave  differently in moving/draining suspensions which often give bad formation and heterogeneity  in produced materials. Nevertheless, various fibres with different desirable properties are  required to be finely blended in a suspension for getting targeted materials. This study  investigated the effects of various fibres in a thin cellulosic material. It was aimed to see the  possibility of using some short fibres, regarded as waste materials, in producing thin cellulosic  matrix.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[EFFECTS OF VEGETABLE AND ANIMAL FAT ENRICHMENT IN BROILER  FEED ON CONTENT OF FATTY ACIDS IN WHITE AND RED MEAT]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In order to gain a more complete insight into the effects of vegetable and animal fat  enrichment in broiler feed on content of fatty acids in meat, an experimental research has been  conducted on 240 Cobb 500female broilers, divided into four separate treatments of 60  broilers each. The experiment was conducted in the period of 42 days. During that period, the  first group of broilers was fed with 3% pork fat enriched feed – treatment 1, second group was  fed with 3% soy oil enriched feed – treatment 2, third group with 3% bovine tallow –  treatment 3, and fourth group with 3% sunflower oil – treatment 4. The content of fatty acids  in red and white broiler meat was determined by the gas chromatography method. The content  of saturated fatty acids in the red meat was not of statistical significance (p&gt;0.05), the content  of monounsaturated fatty acids was of statistical significance (p&lt;0.05), while the content of  polyunsaturated fatty acids in the red broiler meat was of high statistical significance (p&lt;0.01)  with reference to the applied feeding treatments. The content of saturated fatty acids in the  white meat was not of statistical significance (p&gt;0.05), while the content of monounsaturated  and polyunsaturated fatty acids in white broiler meat was of high statistical significance  (p&lt;0.01) with reference to the applied feeding treatments. The n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio in red  broiler meat was determined as follows: treatment 1 - 19.3:1; treatment 2 - 16.0:1; treatment 3  - 20.5:1; treatment 4 - 12.9:1. The n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio in white broiler meat was:  treatment 1 - 20.3:1, treatment 2 –16.1:1, treatment 3 –17.6:1 and treatment 4 –12.2:1.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Under increasing impacts of global warming, effective water use and using  minimum amounts of water for irrigation have become the most critical issues to be  considered in irrigated agriculture. In this research, effects of water stress on yield and  some quality parameters of broccoli were investigated. Three different growing periods  (early vegetative, late vegetative and flowering) and four different water deficit levels  (80%, 60%, 40% and 20%) were applied to Maraton F1 broccoli cultivar. Yield per  plant, total leaf area, total chlorophyll, total sugar content, and antioxidant activity have  been determined. While a yield of 667,84 g/plant was obtained from control treatment  with 100% irrigation without any water deficit, a yield of only 101,59 g/plant was  obtained from 20% irrigation treatment. However, a yield of 591,01 g/plant was  obtained from 80% irrigation treatment applied at early vegetative period.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Effects of Word Processing on Students’ Writing Performance]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Written essays are a common feature of standardized tests at many levels of study.  However, little is known about whether the use of different media in writing the essays may affect students’ writing performance.  Studies reported the different effects word processing has on students’ writing performance, writing process and essay scores (Haas, 1988; Oliver &amp; Kerr; 1993; Goldberg, Russell, &amp; Cook, 2003; Russell &amp; Tao, 2004).  This study looks into the writing performance of second language learners of English at tertiary level.  It aims to analyze the effects of word processing on students’ writing performance in terms of quality and quantity.  The subjects in this study are forty first year students who are currently pursuing their Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree in Electrical Engineering at a private university in Malaysia.  Two writing sessions are carried out in this study.  For each session, the students are divided into two groups, with one group writes an essay in class while the other group uses the computer to type their essays.  They switch the writing medium in the second session.  Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level and raters’ scores are used to measure the quality of the essays; while the number of words, number of paragraphs, number of sentences, sentences per paragraph and words per sentence are used to determine if there is any improvement in the quantity of writing.  Statistical analysis is conducted to determine any significant differences between the two media.  The results of this study are discussed in relation to whether the methods used in the tests have any influence on the students’ performance.    ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this paper is to examine economic sanctions as a foreign policy instrument and  to give judgment to their efficiency and impact. Since WWI economic sanctions have been  used as a tool for preventing conflicts and signaling instrument of foreign policy. Their  efficiency and impact have been the main topics for many discussions. Since the War in  Yugoslavia in 1991, economic sanctions gained on their importance and usage. Two classical  examples of economic sanctions will be discussed in this paper: War in Yugoslavia and  sanctions against Iran. Economic sanctions appear to be unsuccessful in most cases and their  usual victims are innocent inhabitants.  Keywords: Economic sanctions, efficiency of economic sanctions, Yugoslavia, Iran.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Parental instruction in terms of helping children with school activities is  very important. For this reason, this paper dealt with theoretical and  empirical segment of this problem. In the theoretical part, the concept of  parental instruction was defined as well as its importance for the success  of the child, the commitment of children to such assistance and the  aspects of parental instructions.  The objective of study was to investigate the level of parents’ ability to  provide instruction to children with school activities and learning. For this  purpose, an experimental method was applied (experiment with initial and  final measurements with one group). In order to examine the effect of  experimental treatment the instrument on parental instruction to children  was used.  The obtained results provided significant findings that lead us to the  conclusion that parents&#039; education can improve their instructions to  children in school learning.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Efficient Parking Reservation System for IBU Students]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Parking availability is a growing concern for university students, often leading to time inefficiencies, increased stress, and congestion within campus premises. This project aims to develop a web-based parking reservation system tailored specifically for students of the International Burch University (IBU). The core objective is to provide an intuitive platform that allows students to view available parking slots in real-time and reserve them in advance, reducing unnecessary vehicle circulation and improving overall parking management.<br />
The system is built using modern web technologies, with a front-end developed in React and styled with Bootstrap for responsiveness and user-friendly interaction. Authentication is managed through Google Sign-In, restricted to university-issued student emails (ending in @stu.ibu.edu.ba) to ensure authorized access. The backend employs Node.js and Sequelize ORM for handling database operations, with parking data being managed dynamically t o reflect real-time changes in availability.<br />
Functionality includes viewing parking layouts, selecting available slots, and booking or canceling reservations. A calendar and/or map interface provides a visual and interactive overview of parking slot statuses. The system distinguishes between student and professor parking zones to prevent cross-access and ensure fair usage.<br />
