A morphologically distinguished and isolated cavernicolous trechine beetle belonging to the isotopic Duvalius lineage was discovered in Dinarids, Western Bosnia, in hypogean environment, in the cave Mračna Pećina. Duvalius (Neoduvalius) lohaji n. sp., is described, illustrated and compared with the other Duvalius species of the Dinaric range, especially with Neoduvalius taxa. In addition, taxonomical considerations about Duvalius-related genera that exhibit aphaenopsian morphology are given.

AbstractPublic discourses about wars and mass violence are often dominated by questions of guilt and victimhood as well as a focus on the figures of ‘perpetrators’ and ‘victims’. This can also be observed concerning the public remembrance of the 1992-1995 conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina. However, attempts were made here to promote the memory of another war-related figure: that of the rescuer who helped people ‘from the other side’. The author analyses these attempts at remembrance in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and places them within the context of global efforts to publicly acknowledge rescuers, in particular the ‘Righteous Among the Nations’.

The paper discuses views on Bosnian language in Mehmed-beg Kapetanovic’s brochures. In literature, these brochures are determined differently by genre, primarily with its historical and literal, as well as political and social significance. Today we look at them as a testimony of one’s period breaking point in which shift between two states and its cultural-civilization forms had occurred, which has been reflected in a special way in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving the far reaching consequences on Bosniak’s overall social and cultural life. Within these brochures, Ljubušak talks about all current issues of that time, including the language name, which was one of the major challenges that faced new Austro-Hungarian administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the other hand, other topics about which Ljubušak writes in these brochures will not be neglected, since some of them are actual in today’s historic moment.

Contemporary sociological science is increasingly being characterized by apositivist, therefore, the orientation on the empirical research of social problems.If there is, however, about the Bosnian-Herzegovinian sociology, thereare many unexplored issues in the fi eld of empirical sociological research - andthe greater is the number of causes of it. Methodological problems, of course,are one of the major manifestations of those causes- the problems in the areaof quantitative as well as those in the fi eld of qualitative sociological research.Some of the other dimensions of the problem should not be ignored - the issueof ethics in sociological research, the problem of a single database in the fi eldof sociology, as well as the research in the fi eld of social sciences in general, andthe like. And all of that is analyzed in the context of this paper.

Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia-Herzegovina by the end of the 19th century, presided by Benjamin Kallay, the Empire’s Minister of Finance and governor of Bosnia and Herzegovina, strived to gain wider international justification for its years’ long project of “civilizing” Bosnia and Herzegovina, or particular “historizing” of this proximal colony. In the summer of 1894 the Austro-Hungarian government in Bosnia and Herzegovina organized the Congress of Archaeologists and Anthropologists in the Landesmuseum in Sarajevo. The aim of the Congress was to inform archaeologists and anthropologists about the results of archaeological investigations in the country, and to seek their advice in directing further work. The wider ideological, political, as well as theoretical context of this congress, however, was much more complex and layered, with the aim to present the constructed image of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a country of tamed and civilized European Orient of rich past and luxurious folklore. The participants of the Congress discussed the archaeological and anthropological data presented to them by the hosts, including the specially organized excavations at Butmir and Glasinac. It is interesting to analyze, from the point of view of the history of archaeological ideas, the endeavours of the participants to adapt the archaeological finds before them to the wishes of the hosts, and, on the other hand, to their favoured archaeological paradigms dominant at the time.

The discourse of globalization and its effects have been the most current topic in the field of economics in recent times. However, empirical research on the impact of globalization on companies, especially in transition countries, is very scarce. This paper focuses on the study of the impact of globalization on the performance of companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina by analyzing their interrelationships. The findings, in the case of companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, have confirmed earlier findings about the double impact of globalization by showing, on the one hand, its positive effects and, on the other hand, the negative effects on the performance of the companies. Additionally, the research results have shown that negative effects are felt more strongly in the case of small and medium-sized companies than in the case of large companies.

Alfalfa has a great need for water, because it creates a huge plant mass. For this reason,yield level, similar to the other species with large green mass, primarily depends onprovided water during the growing season. Alfalfa uses water well from the prevegetationreserve in land, especially of rainfall during the growing season. In thispaper, the need for water in alfalfa for average, the most rainy and dry hydrologicalyear in the conditions of Sarajevo area was established. Evapotranspiration of alfalfa is567 mm for the most dry, 569 mm for the most rainy and 540 mm for averagehydrological year. Water deficit occurs in May, June, July and August in the amount of323.9 mm for the most dry, 178.4 mm for the most rainy and 222.1 mm for averagehydrological year. In the study area, alluvial soil is predominant (fluvisol), which is ofa light mechanical composition (sandy loam) and favorable chemical characteristics foralfalfa growing.

In this article I put forward the concept of subversive infantilisation to designate a phenomenon in contemporary Bosnian literature, which by using a certain kind of childish outlook on the world undermines paternalistic and balkanist Western discourse on Bosnia and Herzegovina. By analysing primarily the portrayal of the role of mass media in a few literary texts, principally books by Nenad Veličkovié and Miljenko Jergovié, I highlight the way in which these texts “re-rig” and by means of irony and exaggeration illuminate the problematic logic inherent in the subject position from which one represents the other. Textual characteristics of subversive infantilisation are contextualised further and seen as a discursive continuation of experiences of the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The history of modern Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) is a history of referenda. The referendum as a tool to shape the political fate and future of a particular society has seemingly always been an integral part of the Bosnian past. The first two referenda in Bosnia-Herzegovina at the beginning of the so-called “democratic era” following the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia marked the beginning of a period of war and violence in the country. The referendum in November 1991, organized by the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) and asking participants about the status of BiH within the Yugoslav federation, was the first step toward the formation of Republika Srpska (RS). On the other side, the referendum in March 1992 about the question of independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina from Yugoslavia, which was attended by Bosnian Muslims and Croats and boycotted by the Serbs, plunged Bosnia into war.

TRANSLATION TOOLS FOR EU LEGISLATION: EUROPEAN PRACTICES AND THE CASE OF BCMS The aim of this paper is to analyse the issue of memory through tools for storing linguistic data (terminological databases, parallel corpora, thesauri, glossaries and dictionaries) deployed in the context of the translation of EU legislation. On the one hand, we present an overview of the tools used within the EU, distinguished by a complex and highly specific linguistic regime, currently including 24 official languages. On the other hand, we review the preparations and implementation of various tools in the former Serbo-Croatian countries, namely the language framework of their accession to the EU. Within the BCMS languages, a parallel has to be drawn between Croatia, which has been a member of the EU since 2013, with the most developed mechanisms in this area, of the one part, and Montenegro, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part. Keywords: European Union, translation, tools, databases, accession to the EU, BCMS.
