THE LIVES OF OTHERS: DESCRIBING AND PREDICTING JOB SATISFACTION AMONG FACULTY WORKING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SARAJEVO
This study examined the topic of faculty satisfaction among faculty employed at the University of Sarajevo (UNSA) in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH). BiH has endured a difficult transition from a socialist regime to a market economy following the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990ās and its higher education sector has been particularly affected by this transition. Scholarly research has focused mostly on the impact of discrimination of certain groups at the primary and secondary levels (PaÅ”alic-KreÅ”o, 2008). Research into issues affecting tertiary education is still an emerging field, and research on faculty is especially sparse.
Utilizing survey methodology, this study described the demographic and professional profile of the average faculty member, their satisfaction and/or agreement with various aspects of their work and working conditions and tested which variables within Hagedornās (2000) conceptual framework of faculty satisfaction significantly predicted their job satisfaction. The results revealed that faculty were not involved in major decision-making and that external politics heavily influenced university operations. They were dissatisfied with their overall working conditions, but especially with library offerings and administrative support. The work itself, recognition, and being single were the only variables from Hagedornās model that significantly predicted their overall satisfaction
Advising Experiences among First-Year International Doctoral Students
The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how international graduate students in their first-year of doctoral study selected their faculty advisor and how this selection process influenced their advising relationship. Our results found that a majority of students in our sample were assigned to an interim advisor and most reported a positive advising experience. However, disquieting patterns emerged from the data: low frequency of advisor-advisee interaction, occurrences of mismatching between advisor-advisee, and an unknowingness of how to engage with oneās faculty advisor. Our study adds to the literature focusing on international students by shedding a light on nuanced advising experiences of first-year international doctoral students and by providing recommendations for faculty advisors and directors of graduate studies on ways to improve and systematize their advising practices so as to encourage retention and success among international doctoral students
A short review of headspace extraction and ultrasonic solvent extraction for honey volatiles fingerprinting
Honey volatiles exhibit a potential role in distinguishing honeys as a function of botanical origin, but heating of honey generates artefacts such as compounds of Strecker degradation and Maillard reaction products. This short review is focused on the most recently applied methods for honey volatiles fingerprinting (without generation of thermal artefacts): headspace extraction (dynamic headspace extraction (DHE), headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME)) and ultrasonic solvent extraction (USE). These methods display a varying degree of selectivity and effectiveness depending upon the compounds involved and the extraction conditions. Recent developments of these methods are discussed, with application examples drawn from the literature as well from our own research. Flavour qualities of the honey are very much dependent on the volatile and semivolatile organic compounds present in both the sample matrix and the headspace aroma. Therefore the use of one single technique is not adequate for reliable honey volatiles profiling, but combined use of headspace extraction and ultrasonic solvent extraction could be a useful tool for the characterization of the honey and identification of its botanical source through typical volatile marker compounds
Lastvine - eneolitiÄko nalaziÅ”te u Benkovcu
The papers deals with the results of the excavations conducted in 2009/2010 at the Eneolithic site of Lastvine in Benkovac near Zadar. On the basis of typological and stylistic characteristics of pottery that makes the most abundant group of archaeological finds, the site can be ascribed to the Early Eneolithic period with certainty and associated with a number of synchronous cave sites in the wider region of the eastern Adriatic and its hinterland whose main characteristic is channelled pottery. However as opposed to these sites, Lastvine is the first open-air site, and the same time the first single-layered settlement with this type of pottery. Furthermore there are certain differences in the technique of this ornament execution.U Älanku se obraÄuju rezultati iskopavanja koja su 2009. ā 2010. provedena na eneolitiÄkom naselju Lastvine u Benkovcu kod Zadra. Na temelju tipoloÅ”kih i stilskih karakteristika keramiÄke graÄe, koja Äini najbrojniju skupinu arheoloÅ”kih nalaza, nalaziÅ”te je sa sigurnoÅ”Äu moguÄe pripisati ranomu eneolitiku i povezati s viÅ”e istodobnih peÄinskih nalaziÅ”ta na Å”irem podruÄju istoÄnog Jadrana i zaleÄa Äiju najvažniju karakteristiku Äini kanelirana keramika. MeÄutim, za razliku od njih, Lastvine su prvo nalaziÅ”te na otvorenom, a istodobno i prvo jednoslojno naselje s tom keramiÄkom vrstom. Osim toga, stanovite razlike postoje i u tehnici izvoÄenja toga ukrasa
BANKARSKI SEKTOR U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI IZMEÄU GLOBALNE FINANCIJSKE KRIZE I COVID-19
Stable and good operating banking sector is important for stability of financial system and development of national economy. Having on mind specific features of financial system in Bosnia and Herzegovina as banking dominated, authors will analyse changes in its banking sector in the period between global financial crisis and COVID-19. Banking sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been analysed through a series of indicators. Authors in this paper will analyse number of banks in banking sector, bank intermediation, total assets, loans and deposits, credit risk expose of banks and liquidity. Aim of this paper is to compare behaviour of banking sector in two crises and present impact of its activities and performance (profitability, liquidity and risk).Stabilni i operativan sektor bankarstva važan je za stabilnost financijskog sustava i razvoj nacionalnog gospodarstva. ImajuÄi na umu specifiÄnosti financijskog sustava u Bosni i Hercegovini kao bankarski dominantnog autori Äe analizirat promjene u bankarskom sektoru u razdoblju od financijske krize 2008. do COVID-19. Bankarski sektor u Bosni i Hercegovini analiziran je kroz odabrane pokazatelje strukture bankarskog sektora i njegove performanse u razdoblju od 2005-2021. U radu Äe se analizirat broj banaka u bankarskom sektoru, bankarsko posredovanje, ukupna aktiva, krediti i depoziti, izlaganje banaka kreditnom rizikom i likvidnost.

Personal brands in sports on the best-Āpractice example Cristiano Ronaldo
In dieser Bachelorarbeit geht es um Personal Brands im Sport. Aufgrund der immer grƶĆer werdenden Konkurrenz stellen sich sowohl Unternehmen als auch Prominente einer neuen Herausforderung um aus der Masse herauzustechen. Beide Parteien setzen SchlĆ¼sselreize ein um sich von Konkurrenz abzuheben. In der folgende Arbeit wird untersucht, wie Menschen sich als Personal Brand vermarkten, werbetreibende Unternehmen diese fĆ¼r ihre Markenkommunikation nutzen und warum Sportler, wie in diesem Fall Cristiano Ronaldo, sich perfekt fĆ¼r diesen Gebrauch eignen
