    U ovom radu je izvršena treća revizija popisa dnevnih leptira u Bosni i Hercegovini po sistemu Karsholt – Razowski. Revizija je napravljena analizom stručne literature i objavljenih radova s terena u B-H. Prisutnost L. reali (Reissinger, 1989) autor je osobno utvrdio vlastitim terenskim istraživanjima te naknadnim laboratorijskim pretragama.This work presents a third revision of the inventory of butterflies of Bosnia and Herzegovina according to the Karsholt – Razowski system. The revision was carried out from analysis of the scientific literature and published field observations from B-H. The presence of L. reali (Reissinger, 1989) has been verified personally by the author in the course of his own field research and subsequent laboratory investigations

    A CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES PRENOLEPIS NITENS (MAYR, 1853) (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) IN THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA

    Study of myrmecofauna in the southwest part of the Balkan Peninsula has a long tradition but it is also characterised by a small number of studies of exclusively faunistic character. Analysis of material collected at Popovo Polje yielded the first record of Prenolepis nitens (Mayr, 1853) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Subsequent analysis of literature data showed that the species inhabits all of the countries of the western Balkans: Slovenia (Ljubljana), Croatia (wider area of Zagreb and Dalmatia), Montenegro (Kotor) and Serbia (Stara planina). Discovery of Prenolepis nitens (Mayr, 1853) in Bosnia and Herzegovina represents irrefutable evidence of continuity in the distribution area of the species along the southern boarder of the Balkan peninsula and it also makes a significant contribution to the knowledge of distribution of Prenolepis nitens (Mayr, 1853) species across the surveyed area

    From April to September of 2008 and 2009 samples of family Cetoniidae Leach, 1815 were collected on the vertical profile of the southern slopes of Mount Ozren near Sarajevo. Research was conducted at six selected localities: Orlovac, Nahorevo, Čavljak, Skakvac, Bukovik and Crepoljsko. After 41 field investigations, 594 individuals were collected and determined as representatives of seven species. Collected data were processed with statistical software Biodiversity Pro and with options Diversity/Compare diversities: Alpha index; Berger-Parker index; Simpsons index; Margaleff index; Mackintosh index; Bray-Curtis Cluster Analysis: Single Link. By comparison of data it was concluded that Skakavac represents the typical locality for southern slopes of Mount Ozren. The species Oxythyrea funesta (Poda, 1761) is the most numerous faunistic element that was found

    Integrativna biologija nameće koncept proučavanja biologije kao interdisciplinarnog modula kako između primarno bioloških poddisciplina tako i s bliskosrodnim biotehničkim, zdravstvenim i okolišnim strukama i znanostima. Za približavanje svjetskim trendovima edukacije i zapošljavanja neophodno je prilagoditi module i način predavanja (predavača koji su neosporni stručnjaci za oblast) i većem broju realnih interdisciplinarnih studija (komercijalni studij hortikulture gdje bi uvodnu godinu držali kemičari i biolozi, a završne godine poljoprivredni i šumarski stručnjaci; Specijalna medicinska zoologija gdje bi uvodnu (I) godinu držali biolozi, a završne godine liječnici i veterinari i slično) što je u ovom trenutku praktično nezamislivo. Suština integrativne biologije može se sažeti na prosto shvaćanje generalizacije, od pojedinačnog k općem. Vjerujući da vrijeme samokritičnosti još nije na realnoj razini prihvaćanja rad će ciljano problemski nastojati izavati buru komentara i suprostavljenih mišljenja težeći epilogu stvaranja vrijednog stručnjaka iz oblasti interesa koji poimanje znanosti vidi kao sklop korisnog ali nadasve iskoristivog znanja u praksi. Stoga smo koristili samo podatke (koji u ovom trenutku ne mogu biti obznanjeni široj javnosti) iznesene na Vijećima kao sporne putokaze u profilaciji kadra na pojedinim fakultetima. Uvidom u iste ukazujemo širim akademskim krugovima da se rješenje vidi i nazire, ali se treba suočiti s egom i predstavkama nezamjenjivih učenjaka i tvoraca misli i pred sebe postaviti interese razvijanja visokoškolskih ustanova kao hramova znanja budućim generacijama.Integrative biology imposes the concept of studying biology as an interdisciplinary problem both between primarily biological subdisciplines and with closely related biotechnical, health and environmental professions and sciences. In order to get closer to the global trends in education and employment, it is necessary to adapt the modules and teaching method (lecturers who are undisputed experts in the field) and a larger number of real interdisciplinary studies (commercial study of horticulture where the introductory year would be held by chemists and biologists, and the final year by agricultural and forestry experts; Special medical zoology where the introductory year would be held by biologists, and the final year by doctors and veterinarians, etc.), which is practically unimaginable at the moment. The essence of integrative biology can be summed up in the simple understanding of generalization, from the individual to the general. This work tries purposefully provoke a storm of comments and conflicting opinions, aiming for the epilogue of creating a valuable expert in the field of interest who sees the concept of science as a set of useful but above all usable knowledge in practice. Believing that the time of self-criticism is not yet at a realistic level of acceptance. We used data (which cannot be disclosed to the general public at this time) presented at the Councils as disputed guidelines in the profiling of personnel at individual faculties. pointing out to wider academic circles that the solution is visible and looming, but need to face the egos and representations of irreplaceable scholars and creators of thought put before interests of developing higher education institutions as temples of knowledge for future generations

    Acoustic, visual and chemical communication between humans and animals

    Ljudi najčešće koriste jezik za prijenos informacija i složenih pojmova, ali i neverbalna komunikacija igra ključnu ulogu u mnogim društvenim interakcijama. Iako antropolozi često izvještavaju o važnosti mirisa u svakodnevnom životu i kulturnim uvjerenjima mnogih malih zajednica, zapadni znanstvenici su povijesno smatrali da je osjet mirisa minimalno uključen u ljudsku komunikaciju. Veoma je važno shvaćanje da su jezik i komunikacija osnova razumijevanja između ljudi te da su prirodno urođeni čovjeku; bez komunikacije ljudsko društvo ne bi bilo ono što jeste.People commonly use language to convey information and complex concepts, but nonverbal communication also plays a crucial role in many social interactions. Although anthropologists often report on the significance of smells in everyday life and the cultural beliefs of many small communities, Western scientists have historically considered the sense of smell to be minimally involved in human communication. Understanding language and communication is fundamental to understanding what is considered natural to humans. Without communication, human society would not be what it is

    Distinction of The Authors of Texts Using Multilayered Feedforward Neural Networks

    No full text
    This paper proposes a means of using a multilayered feedforward neural network to identify the author of a text. The network has to be trained where multilayer feedforward neural network as a  powerful scheme for learning complex input-output mapping have been used in learning of the average number of words and average characters of words in a paragraphs of an author. The resulting training information we get will be used to identify the texts written by authors. The computational complexity is solved by dividing it into a number of computationally simple tasks where the input space is divided into a set of subspaces and then combining the solutions to those tasks. By this, we have been able to successfully distinguish the books authored by Leo Tolstoy, from the ones authored by George Orwell and Boris Pasternak
