HOW PSYCHOLOGISTS EXPERIENCE AND PERCEIVE EMDR?
This qualitative, phenomenological study describes the perceptions and experiences of psychologists from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey regarding an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy. In order to understand how psychologists perceive this treatment method, 20 psychologists from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey were recruited through an online survey. The participants were asked to describe their perception and experience of EMDR. Qualitative analysis of the responses revealed five common themes, which described the phenomenon. These themes included: positive personal or anecdotal experiences with EMDR, perception that EMDR is primarily used for trauma, EMDR is used as an adjunct therapy, obstacles to EMDR training/certification, and limited knowledge and information about EMDR among psychologists and the general population. Findings from this study may provide a foundation for future research that may help in better understanding of psychologist perception and experience with the EMDR approach and especially about differences and similarities between psychologists in different countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey. Besides this, it can also help to gain an understanding of the variables involved in psychologists choosing to pursue training in different treatment modalities

Neutral-current neutrino-nucleus cross sections based on relativistic nuclear energy density functional
Background: Inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering through the weak
neutral-current plays important role in stellar environment where transport of
neutrinos determine the rate of cooling. Since there are no direct experimental
data on neutral-current neutrino-nucleus cross sections available, only the
modeling of these reactions provides the relevant input for supernova
simulations. Purpose: To establish fully self-consistent framework for
neutral-current neutrino-nucleus reactions based on relativistic nuclear energy
density functional. Methods: Neutrino-nucleus cross sections are calculated
using weak Hamiltonian and nuclear properties of initial and excited states are
obtained with relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model and relativistic
quasiparticle random phase approximation that is extended to include pion
contributions for unnatural parity transitions. Results: Inelastic
neutral-current neutrino-nucleus cross sections for 12C, 16O, 56Fe, 56Ni, and
even isotopes {92-100}Mo as well as respective cross sections averaged over
distribution of supernova neutrinos. Conclusions: The present study provides
insight into neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections in the neutral channel,
their theoretical uncertainty in view of recently developed microscopic models,
and paves the way for systematic self-consistent large-scale calculations
involving open-shell target nuclei.Comment: 25 pages, 9 figures, 2 tables, submitted to Physical Review
Integracija suvremenih geodetsko-hidrografskih mjernih metoda u krÅ”kim podruÄjima Republike Hrvatske
Suvremena geodetsko-hidrografska mjerenja i na njima utemeljena znanstvena istraživanja na krÅ”kom podruÄju
Nacionalnog parka PlitviÄka jezera, zapoÄela su s realizacijom projekta pod pokroviteljstvom UNESCO-a 2000. godine.
Istraživanja su nastavljena kroz europski interdisciplinarni projekt CERGOP2/Environment 2003-2007 te nadalje uz potporu
znanstvenog vijeÄa NP PlitviÄka jezera. Na ProÅ”Äanskom jezeru i jezeru Kozjak ponavljana su snimanja dna pomoÄu
ultrazvuÄnog dubinomjera Äiji se senzori pozicioniraju integracijom sa satelitskim sustavom. U ovom se radu prikazuju primjene

Identification of intellectually gifted high school students in Sarajevo Canton
U radu je opisan proces identifikacije intelektualno nadarenih uÄenika srednjih Å”kola Kantona Sarajevo. Identifikacija je provedena s ciljem odabira grupe uÄenika za koju se opravdano može tvrditi da Äe imati znaÄajnu psiholoÅ”ku dobit od sudjelovanja u Zimskoj Å”koli za nadarene. Proces identifikacije je osmiÅ”ljen u skladu sa suvremenim teorijama nadarenosti i specifiÄnostima programa rada s nadarenim. Identifikacija je provedena u tri faze: nominiranje uÄenika i dvije faze selekcije. Selekcija je uÄenika izvrÅ”ena na osnovi postignuÄa na Ravenovim matricama za napredne, Mill Hill ljestvici rjeÄnika, Problemnom testu i Toransovom testu kreativnog miÅ”ljenja. S obzirom na to da u Bosni i Hercegovini ne postoje norme za navedene instrumente, u selekciji uÄenika nije se mogao koristiti uobiÄajeni statistiÄki kriterij, prema kojem nadareni spadaju u odreÄen postotak najboljih u populaciji. Stoga je formiran komparativni uzorak uÄenika, a rezultati dobiveni na ovoj grupi poslužili su za usporedbu s rezultatima nominiranih, odnosno selekcioniranih uÄenika. Rezultati ukazuju da su selekcionirani uÄenici iznad prosjeÄnih sposobnosti u razumijevanju kompleksnih situacija, pronalaženju znaÄenja u dogaÄajima te smislenog percipiranja i miÅ”ljenja, dosjeÄanja znaÄenja poznatih rjeÄi i sposobnosti verbalnog komuniciranja, te sposobnost uoÄavanja i rjeÅ”avanja problema te kreativnog miÅ”ljenja. Opisanim su postupkom identificirani nadareni uÄenici srednjih Å”kola Kantona Sarajevo, i opravdano je oÄekivati da Äe ovi uÄenici moÄi odgovoriti visokim kognitivnim zahtijevima planiranog programa rada.This article describes the process of identification of intellectually gifted students in Sarajevo Canton. The goal of the identification was to select those students who could benefit from a significant improvement in psychological welfare by participating in the āWinter school for gifted studentsā. The identification was designed according to contemporary theories of giftedness and according to the specific nature of the program. Identification took place in three phases: nomination by a teacher and two phases of selection. The instruments used in selection were the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM), Mill Hill Vocabulary Scale (MHV), the Problem test (PT) and the Torrance test of creative thinking, verbal form (TTK). The results of nominated students were compared with the results of students from a comparative sample. Results indicated that selected students possessed higher general ability, and higher ability in problem solving and creative thinking. Gifted students were selected by the procedure described. It is reasonable to expect that these students will satisfy the high cognitive requirements of the program planned for gifted students

Recent findings on alcoholism in the 21st century
Alkoholizam je kroniÄna i progresivna bolest koja bez lijeÄenja neminovno dovodi do smrtnog ishoda. Danas postoje dvije velike klasifikacije psihiÄkih poremeÄaja: Mentalni poremeÄaji i poremeÄaji ponaÅ”anja unutar MeÄunarodne klasifikacije bolesti i srodnih zdravstvenih problema (MKB-10) i DijagnostiÄki i statistiÄki priruÄnik za duÅ”evne poremeÄaje (DSM-5). PoremeÄaj uzimanja alkohola je definiran bihevioralnim i fiziÄkim simptomima koji mogu ukljuÄivati žudnju, toleranciju i sindrom sustezanja. Posljedice pijenja alkohola se mogu manifestirati na bilo kojem organskom sustavu. Prekomjerno pijenje alkohola je povezano s psiholoÅ”kim posljedicama i ima veliki utjecaj na socijalni život osobe. PreporuÄa se da se svi bolesnici u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaÅ”titi pregledaju zbog moguÄeg nezdravog uzimanja alkohola. Dijagnoza se temelji na sveobuhvatnoj procjeni, ukljuÄujuÄi anamnezu, fiziÄki pregled i laboratorijske testove. Cilj lijeÄenja alkoholizma je apstinencija, koja ostaje primarni fokus terapije. LijeÄenje ovisnosti o alkoholu u 21. stoljeÄu ima moguÄnost dodavanja farmakoterapije tradicionalnim pristupima lijeÄenju. Psihosocijalna terapija može smanjiti uzimanje alkoholnih piÄa i produžiti apstinenciju bilo da se koristi sama ili u kombinaciji s farmakoterapijom, ali bez farmakoloÅ”kog dodatka psihosocijalnoj terapiji, kliniÄki ishod je slab. Alkoholizam je kroniÄna bolest i zato zahtijeva konstantni oprez pacijenta i onih koji ga okružuju, kao i ponavljane intervencije. Primarna skrb je važna ulazna toÄka za sve bolesnike koji pate od kroniÄnih stanja. Specijalisti obiteljske medicine najbolje su pozicionirani za rjeÅ”avanje poremeÄaja uzimanja alkohola na sveobuhvatan naÄin. Zemlje koje djeluju na smanjenju Å”tetne uporabe alkohola unutar Europskog akcijskog plana za smanjenje Å”tetne uporabe alkohola za 2012. ā 2020. Äe imati znatne dobitke u smislu boljeg zdravlja i blagostanja stanovniÅ”tva.Alcoholism is a chronic and progressive disease that results in fatal outcomes without treatment. Today, there are two major classifications of mental disorders: mental disorders and behavioral disorders within the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (MKB-10) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Alcohol abuse is defined by behavioral and physical symptoms that may include craving, tolerance, and susceptibility syndrome. The consequences of drinking alcohol can be manifested in any organ system. Excessive drinking of alcohol is associated with psychological consequences and has severe impacts on the social life of an individual. It is recommended all patients in primary health care be examined for possible unhealthy alcohol consumption. Diagnosis is based on a comprehensive assessment, including anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory tests. The goal of treating alcoholism is abstinence, which remains the primary focus of therapy. The treatment of alcohol dependence in the 21st century has the potential to add pharmacotherapy to traditional treatments. Psychosocial therapy may reduce the consumption of alcoholic beverages and prolong the abstinence whether used alone or rather in combination with pharmacotherapy. Without a pharmacological addition to psychosocial therapy, the clinical outcome is poor. Alcoholism is a chronic disease and therefore requires constant caution of the patient and those around them, as well as repeated interventions. Primary care is an important entry point for all patients suffering from chronic conditions. Family medicine specialists are best positioned to address substance and addiction disorders in a comprehensive manner. Countries that work to reduce the harmful use of alcohol within the European Action Plan for the Reduction of Harmful Use of Alcohol 2012-2020 will have significant gains in terms of better health and well-being of the population
