In order to monitor the intensity of work during one hour of physical and medical education in 37students of the Faculty of Philosophy Department of Classroom Teaching in Tuzla, the measurement of the effects of work through the application of polygon barriers was performed as the most complex methodological-organizational form of work. The effects of working and mastering the polygon through the particular phase of the clock (introductory, main A and B) are expressed by the number of heart beats. The heart rate measurement was performed by palpation of the artery radial at the beginning and end of each phase of the clock. During the measurement period, rest was also involved that had the role of a transitional factor from the submaximal / maximal values of the heart rate to the values that would bring near the possibilities and state of the organism to the completion of the final phase of the clock. The results obtained by this research show that the heart rate values in all phases of the clock differ significantly between each other and that the highest intensity of work is achieved in the main B-hour phase, indicating the appreciation of the physiological and emotional load curves that prevail over the course of physical and health education . This suggests that the polygon barrier as the most complex method-organizational form of work contributes to the intensification of work during the class of physical and medical education.

Professional development and permanent professional training became a need and necessity for social workers to perform their work. Everyday social and economic changes lead to complexity and multiplication of problems for individuals, social groups and communities requesting from social work appropriate responses in fulfilment of its varying purposes. Education of social workers does not end at the first cycle of academic studies; it should be a continuous process that includes permanent (lifelong) learning and, often specialist development. Such “policy of profession” is not inherent solely to social work but it is a generally proclaimed vocational need in the current moment of civilization. In the recent decades, the European Union and many European countries developed within their policies of growth and education a concept of lifelong learning. The overall goal of lifelong learning is provision of necessary quantum of theoretical and practical knowledge within the professional field; that is the change of profession and acquisition of higher level of knowledge or innovation of knowledge and increase of competences and capabilities for efficient and effective performance in accordance with requirements of modern standards of quality. Social workers in the Republic of Srpska have a legal and professional obligation to develop professionally to perform their job. While accomplishing this obligation, they do not have a systematic and organized support provided within their social systems or within their organizations. In the absence of research and development institutions in the field of social protection and social work as well as of accredited programs for education, an active role in the lifelong learning process of social workers in the Republic of Srpska should be realized through study programs for high education of social workers and through programs that have the necessary resources for this purpose.

This article gives a brief historical overview of foreign language education in Bosnia and Herzegovina with special emphasis on primary education. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long history of teaching foreign languages. Geopolitical changes influenced foreign language policy and, thus, different languages have been taught throughout the history of formal education: Turkish, Arabic, German, French, Russian, English. After the World War 2 Russian was obligatory in primary and secondary schools, and even at the university level. Pupils attending grammar schools learned English, German or French as their second foreign language. However, from the 1980ies this policy changed and pupils had the chance to choose between English and German. Majority of pupils (about 95%) opted for English. Again extra-linguistic factors proved to be decisive for foreign language teaching policy and global status of English resulted in its becoming the first obligatory foreign language in Bosnian formal education in the mid-1990ies. It was first taught from the fifth grade and in secondary schools for all four years followed by German or French as second foreign language. With the introduction of nine-years-long primary school in the 2000s, English is taught from the first grade. Pupils now have the chance to choose between German, French or Turkish in the fifth grade. English and one more language are also taught in secondary schools. English for specific purposes is introduced at tertiary level of education. The state organization additionally complicates the situation with foreign language policy. The lack of ministry of education at the state level resulted in the fact that two entities and ten cantons regulate foreign language education policy.

The Harry Potter franchise has proven an incredible success since the publication of J. K. Rowling’sdebut novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, in 1997. Achieving a worldwide success, theHarry Potter novels have been translated into many languages, including those spoken in Bosnia andHerzegovina. However, many of those translations originate from Serbia or Croatia. Our goal is toexamine strategies the Bosnian translator opted for in her translation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, published by Buybook, Sarajevo, in 2015. Translating literature for children is a demanding task since children are the most honest critics, hence, failure of the writer to enchant, and of the translator to successfully transpose the magic of a fairy tale, a poem, etc., is made clear upon first reading. In that sense, the Harry Potter novels are no exception. What is more, the translation process is even more challenging because Rowling created a new fantasy world, abundant with new phenomena (creatures, games, spells, geographical locations, etc.). How does a translator find suitable solutions for notions that had not been known prior to the publication of the first Harry Potter novel, and, at the same time, feel comfortable with the quality of the translated text, keeping in mind the young recipients? Our paper will focus on analysis of lexical categories and translation procedures observed in the translation of this novel into the Bosnian languagage.

The aim of this study is to assess whether the structure of the family of primary school students affects their success. It is important to emphasize that this paper is an account of a small segment of the overall research that is aimed at assessing the impact of family structure of primary school students on their behavior. For the purposes of the research constructed questionnaire. The study included 100 students in the sixth and seventh-graders at nine-concept studies at elementary school “Sjenjak” in Tuzla. Of the total number of students, 77 had both parents, 15 had one parent, and 8 students without parental care.From descriptive statistical parameters calculated absolute and percentage frequency. Testing conducted using the hi-square test. The hypothesis tested by challenging the alpha level of significance of 95%, or 5% risk (0,05). Realized results in the paper presented in tables and graphs. It found that most of the students who had both parents had excellent, very good and good success compared to students who had one parent, especially compared to students without parents. Realized hi-square test was equal to 25.1276. Since the calculated hi-square greater than limit values hi-square with 4 degrees of freedom, it can be concluded that students with both parents, or those who live in complete families had a significantly better success compared to other students.

Communication and leadership are interconnected and conditioned as it is not possible to manage the organization without communicating, and vice versa. Communication skills are critical to the success of leadership; first to establish a good relationship and then to make an impact on the environment. Successful leadership, especially in politics, requires good communication skills in internal and external, as well as in verbal and nonverbal communication. Communication is one of the most important segments of each political party and political activism in general. Among the main goals which the political parties are trying to accomplish is gaining political power or taking participation in government. The way in which they accomplish the main goals of obtaining the sympathies and public trust (voters) in order to win the public affection of their programs, ideas and attitudes, is through quality communication and public relations. The expertise in convincing public is nonexistent if there is no quality in the communication of the political parties’ leaders. Therefore, special attention is given to the analysis of communication of political leaders, as well as to the communicational aspects as a qualifying factor of political leadership by which the public support is obtained. In speaking, except for the words, the message is comprised of two other components: the voice and use of the body. Nonverbal expression complements verbal communication without spoken words. One of the typical features of political leaders is the style of nonverbal communication. It is determined by differentiating and specifying characteristic paralinguistic aspects of speech, as well as by combination, the degree and direction of nonverbal articulation of individual physical expression. Based on function of political communication we are introduced to the characteristics of the following channels of nonverbal communication: paralinguistic - ways of using voice, facial expressions, body language and strategy of leaders’ display through communication by dressing, decorating the body and the use of artifacts. Therefore, we can say that the correct use of non-verbal communication by presenting the message through the media has a positive effect on the admissibility of political leaders’ style. This hypothesis can be proved by analyzing the contents of the statements given by the political parties’ leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the media. The paper will use the methods of scientific description and structural analysis of the content of media statements of political parties’ leaders who participate in the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper will show whether nonverbal communication proves significant for individual leaders and to what extent. It will also show whether proper use of nonverbal communication while making a statement by selected media channels positively affects the admissibility of political leaders’ style. The aim of the work is exploration of the modalities of nonverbal communication as a key determinant of effective political communication which establishes leader’s positive image in the public. In that context, one of the goals of the paper is the study of the influence which quality nonverbal political communication makes on voters. The conclusion which is based on the research points at the role and importance of nonverbal communicational aspects which are correlated with the style of political leadership.

Over the past few decades, there are evidences that scientific paradigm is changed from disciplinary to transdisciplinary approaches. The question of sustainability science, novel ways for production and coproduction of knowledge and a matter of accomplishment for real world problems represent a big challenge for scientific and academic community. Transdisciplinary team-based research, integration of knowledge from different disciplines and a view into complex societal problems from different perspectives can make a contribution for production of new, practice-oriented knowledge, applied for social problems solution. Going to the transdisciplinary approach is especially valuable in social sciences, where collaborative practice became a necessary normative. In this paper authors, first in the context of theoretical considerations describe possible applications of transdisciplinary research in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as post-conflict, transitional community. The second part of article there is emphasized transdisciplinary approach to the problem of juvenile delinquency in Tuzla Canton through research project: „Influence of different contexts of socialization on the development of juvenile delinquency in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina – Recommendations for prevention and intervention“ which is realized in four years from 2010 to 2014. Analyzing of challenges and problems which this interdisciplinary research team was faced with, authors tried to explain that the way of transdisciplinarity is the way for bridging of different discipline perspectives and through research process finding out solutions applicable in practice. Looking for applicable and practical solutions and maintenance of sustainable strategies for socially relevant and real life problems in post-conflict communities is one of the priorities and challenges for universities, academic communities, government institutions and whole society.

In this paper, we try to analyze, in a theoretical aspect, the consequences of hypermodern time that implicitly transform the very nature of family relationships in terms of their content and functions in a contemporary family. The emphasis is placed on the processes of transformation and the process of redefining family processes and functions in a contemporary family. Based on the thought and traditional background of Manuel Castells, Elizabeth Roudinesco and Massimo Recalcati, we start from the fundamental points and go into depth analysis of the consequences of fluid modernity expressed in the phenomenon of the transformation of empirical relations, the crisis of patriarchy and Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalytic concept of the “disappearing father” and “death of the other”. The future of families, alternative family forms are viewed through the prism of the universality of the family, and/or the transformation of the functions of a modern family.

Lyric poetry, dominated by the emotion of sorrow, is the essence of the Classical Ottoman poetry. Out of all emotion-indicating words the sorrow is the one that appears the most, and the concept of sorrow is inevitable topic for the analyses of the Classic Ottoman poetry where it is always expressed through extended (poetical) metaphors. Innovative from the language perspective, these metaphors unveil the poet’s extraordinary insight and outstanding rhetorical skills that enable him to juggle predefined vocabulary in unorthodox way, as well as to wittily make use of the existing system of motives and symbols. The poet’s virtuosity was depicted by his ability to create a new, unseen, image from well known and many times seen elements. In light of the aforementioned, this paper looks at innovating usage of the word gam (sorrow) and other expressions that incorporate it in themselves. Hence, the paper elaborate to which extent these expressions stem out of conceptual metaphors, whether there is an addition of new elements or specific knowledge in the existing mapping, and whether it is a result of merging several metaphors in new structures.
