This paper deals with the architecture of the most prominent architect in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian time, Josip Vancaš, and two of his most appreciated designs developed for Banja Luka: Landesbank branch office and villa Husedžinović. They both belong to what Vancaš promoted to be "Bosnian style" in architecture, while the latter one is widely accepted as one of his best single-family housing designs. The paper foremost shows Vancaš's biography and a short overview of his professional development and then focuses on the discussion of his contribution to the so-called Bosnian style in architecture, and its reflections to mentioned designs in Banja Luka, originally contributing to this still active question in the history of architecture.The paper gives data on the original status of the buildings, as well as their development throughout history, with reflections to contemporary time. The concluding discussion reviews Vancaš's contribution to architecture in the period of 1878-1918, as well as the promotion of new thoughts outside the usual work of a typical architect.

This research, which used a sample of 407 members of both Bosniak and Serb nationality in Sarajevo and Banja Luka, analyzes the structure and content of ethnic stereotypes of Bosnia and Herzegovina's youth. The results reveal significant negative stereotypes of Bosniak and Serb youth toward one another, but also show conspicuous similarities regarding their stereotypes toward other ethnic groups. The concluding remarks set forth theoretical and pragmatic consequences of the results obtained. It can be concluded that people are clearly divided into groups based on the ethnicity criterion. This, substantiated by the earlier history of conflict, creates perceptions and assessments saturated by negative attributes, and can lead to potential conflicts in future. The research suggests that possible solution lies in a conflict resolution education, greater interethnic communication.

This paper discusses the importance of archival material and especially its publication for historical research. In fact, starting from the Middle Ages through to the modern age, historical research and historical achievements of science to a large extent depended on the archive material (written historical sources). Historical sources can be provided through archival fonds and collections, or through the publication of archival material in the conference documents. The process of provision of historical sources is long and complex, involves a wide range of professional, organizational and technical actions and procedures, since the creation of archives to the placing of the same in the user purposes. An important basis for historical research make published archive documents, including certain technical and material basis. In the archives in Bosnia and Herzegovina this important issue has always been given attention in accordance with human and material capacities of the same, which were mostly very poor. A little more attention paid to this area of work is in the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in regional archives in Tuzla, Banja Luka, Sarajevo and Mostar, which resulted in the publication of several dozen collections of documents. Publishing of archival documents (historical sources) created the important research and scientific base, which has resulted in a significant historical synthesis relating to important issues and topics from the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The study presents information about the intelligent house system along with the justification of the thesis that this technology can be used in single-family houses. The general characteristics of the system are given, which include the history of the creation and the essence of operation. Attention has been paid to lower energy consumption due to the use of technology, which makes it easier for buildings to meet the requirements of the European Parliament Directive 2010. The article describes the most important sub-functions, such as lighting, heating or fire-protection subsystem. Based on the functional layout of a single-family home, the analysis of the most important types of the system was carried out. The study states that smart home systems can be used not only at the construction stage, but also in existing buildings, without the need for interference in the walls. Keywords: construction, modern technologies used in construction, smart home system.

Major Factors

This study confirmed the general belief of urban planners that mixed land use promotes walking in Seoul, a metropolis in East Asia, by analyzing the effect of mixed land use on the travel mode choice of housewives and unemployed people who make non-commuting trips on weekdays. Using binomial logistic regression of commuting data, it was found that the more mixed a neighborhood environment’s uses are, the more the pedestrians prefer to walk rather than drive. The nonlinear relationship between the land use mix index and the choice to walk was also confirmed. Although mixed land use in neighborhoods increased the probability of residents choosing walking over using cars, when the degree of complexity increased above a certain level, the opposite effect was observed. As the density of commercial areas increased, the probability of selecting walking increased. In addition to locational characteristics, income and housing type were also major factors affecting the choice to walk; i.e., when the residents’ neighborhood environment was controlled for higher income and living in an apartment rather than multi-family or single-family housing, they were more likely to choose driving over walking.

AbstractMy paper develops from the observation that the cosmogonies in Ovid’s Metamorphoses and the Hermetic Poimandres are related to each other. After an analysis of Ovid’s text as an example of a diakrisis cosmogony in which the world is created by the sorting out of its originally confused elements, I give a short overview of the history of this type of cosmogony before Ovid. I then analyze the respective cosmogony in the Poimandres as another example of the same typology. A look at the use of diakrisis cosmogonies in late antiquity, including in the first ‘Moral Poem’ of Gregory of Nazianzus, closes the paper and demonstrates the attraction of this cosmogonical model in the Imperial epoch.
