The aim of this paper is to investigate the daylight performance in an Austro-Hungarian heritage building located in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The building was originally used as a military headquarters and was later reused for administration and educational functions. The measurement of daylight was performed in a representative room-office in the building. The measurement results are discussed with respect to international standards and in relation to the specific architecture of the building. Furthermore, the simulation of the daylight performance was performed by using the Design Builder software.

Daylight Performance

Refurbished heritage buildings usually lack in meeting the required standards defined for the new function especially when reused as educational buildings. Therefore, they are usually equipped with different post-occupancy retrofit strategies to achieve an acceptable level of environmental quality and energy demand. Daylight quality and the distribution of natural light is a critical issue in educational spaces, given that the low level of illuminance in classrooms can decrease students' performance and disrupt visual tasks. In this study, daylight performance of below-grade south-facing classrooms in a heritage building in Tehran, Iran is investigated by implementing 57 different daylighting retrofit strategies using climate-based daylight simulations, in relation to the metric Useful Daylight Illuminance 300-3000lux (UDI-Autonomous). The research proposes the use of reflectors on the interior ceiling and exterior side of the windows (on the ground) to achieve the highest result possible. Although, applying these two systems individually, can boost the spatial distribution of daylight to 75 % and 71%, respectively, the combination of them provide users with UDI-Autonomous in 99% of the classroom space for more than half of the occupancy time.

After the conquest of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian territory, the Romans  launched numerous campaigns so this region and its population could be incorporated into the Roman life and Roman civilization of that period as quickly as possible. They believed that this is the only and the best way to make themselves the masters of this region. As part of their extensive activities, those that focused on systematic and full implementation of urbanization in the present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina were especially important. This long process encompassed the infrastructure construction, modelled on the Italic cities, villages, economic and other facilities. The first steps of the Roman authorities were to construct modern and high-quality roads, i.e. a powerful road network that would facilitate a faster and stronger connection between settlements and economic resources around present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. Publius Cornelius Dolabella, who served as an imperial governor of the province of Upper Illyria from 14 th  to 20  AD, had a special role in the implementation of this plan. The construction of the first roads began upon his initiative and under his strict supervision. He intended to establish a better connection between the regions of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina with the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. These first roads created good foundation for a complete urbanization of this area. th Along with the road construction, the Romans launched the activities that included new settlements, firstly along the Roman roads, then at the crossroads, and then in the regions had were rich in resources. Each settlement, in its appearance, dimensions and layout of facilities and its infrastructure, had to correspond to the Roman building standards. The first settlements were built along the roads. The most famous sites of urban settlements include: Grkovci and Pelva (Livno plateau), Halapići and Salvium (Glamoč plateau), Pecka (the Sana river valley), Baloie (Šipovo), Bjelajac (Mrkonjić Grad), Castra, Laktaši, Gornji Šeher (Banja Luka), Servitium (Bosanska Gradiška), Delminium (Duvno plateau), Varvara (Rama river valley), Ad Matricem (Gornji Vakuf), Bistue Nova (Bugojno), Višnjica (Kiseljak), Ilidža (Sarajevo plateau), Domavia and Skelani (central Podrinje), Blagaj, Maslovare and Bosanski Novi (the Sana and Japra rivers valley), Golubić (Bihać), Bigeste (Čapljina), Leusinium (Bileća), Diluntum (Stolac), Ad Drinum (Drinjača) as well as many others, but less known.  Urbanization had many positive effects in all aspects of work and life of local inhabitants from that period in the region of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. A road network was established, as well as numerous economic activities, lifestyle standard and social relations were raised to a significantly higher level, many settlements (cities and villages) and many cultural monuments were built.

Morphologic variability from 25 populations of Acer campestre L. in Bosnia and Herzegovina was analyzed. Morphometric structure of variability and between-population variability was performed based on 10 fruit-parameter characteristics and 19 leaf-parameter characteristics using multivariate statistical analysis. Results confirmed the separation of three submediterranean populations as a group in relation to other tested populations, from which the Banja Luka population is different. Measured leaf parameters were confirmed as a predominant carrier of the morphologic separation between populations. In other Acer species populations within A. monspessulanum and A. intermedium species are separated mainly by fruit and much less by leaf parameters. The southernmost submediterranean populations from Trebinje, Ljubuški, and Mostar regions have smaller leaf areas, which consequently places them within the same morphologic group; their variability is in tight connection with eco-geo-graphical factors, where the ecological distance is a much better predictor of morphological variability compared to geographical distance. The air temperature had the biggest influence on morphological variability regarding the highest in-between correlation. Achieved results may serve for the continuation of the research in other areas of Acer campestre to determine the interactive effect of ecological, geographical, climatic, and migrational factors on their morphologic population plasticity.

The Cost

Economic profit is the concept immanent for the value added. It is an attempt to analyze properly the business success in terms of contribution of profit to the increase in the company value and the stockholders’ wealth. Fundamentally, value added is a measure of the business success where all standard costs and the costs of invested capital are excluded from the realized revenues. Profit as a traditional measure of business success ignores the cost of equity, although equity is the most expensive form of capital. To illustrate better this concept, we made an analysis of the most profitable corporations in Bosnia and Herzegovina listed on Banja Luka and Sarajevo stock exchanges. The analysis showed that the majority of these corporations operate poorly because they do not meet the implicit cost of capital, essentially losing the value of capital entrusted to them by their stockholders. Also, this analysis questioned the importance of the industries which are usually considered to be the most important in BiH economy.

Participation in proficiency testing is a mandatory requirement for laboratories that are accredited to ISO 17025, as the process of proficiency testing allows quality issues and biases that would lead to wrong measurement results to be identified and corrected. Since 2005 the Australian Government National Measurement Institute has delivered proficiency testing for various forms of natural gas that are produced in Australia, including pipeline natural gas from central and Western Australia, raw natural gas, coal seam gas, coal mine gas, LNG, and feed gas for LNG plants. The gas samples for proficiency testing are manufactured and verified by the National Measurement Institute according to international standards to have the highest levels of accuracy plus international comparability. Participants in natural gas proficiency testing include specialty gas companies, refineries, pipeline operators, gas producers, LNG plants, and independent gas testing laboratories. Many companies have a long history of participation that demonstrates continual improvement in the accuracy of their measurement results. This extended abstract gives an insight into the present state of the measurements of composition and calorific value of natural gas, and whether the measurements meet the international benchmarks for accuracy for LNG export. In addition, the extended abstract details the manufacture of the gas samples, and how proficiency testing studies operate, as well as examples where companies have improved their measurement performance across time.

Mass Atrocity

The development of an international criminal system to provide justice for international crimes must be complemented by national processes of prosecution and adjudication. In order to guarantee international standards of justice it is necessary to support national efforts of accountability by creating infrastructure and capacity in those countries where the atrocities took place. The War Crimes Chambers of the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its accompanying Special Department for War Crimes of the Prosecutor's Office, represent one of the most salient examples of these complementary efforts. In their six years of existence these institutions have accumulated a solid record of prosecutions, developed a considerable practice and established themselves solidly within the Bosnian judicial system and the international network of hybrid and national tribunals. This article considers these years of practice and the lessons that can be learnt for future national processes of prosecution of mass atrocity after conflict.

The Right

The Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Article 2 defines human rights and fundamental freedoms that are guaranteed in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in paragraph 3 of this Article is enumerated a catalog of guaranteed human rights and freedoms. The right to liberty, security, privacy and family life and the right to freedom of movement and residence are consumed in an environment that is regulated by a number of laws and regulations in the legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Fundamental human rights and freedoms cannot of absolute and may be limited realization of the right to a safe environment. Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina regulates that will establish a central register of all passports, which implies the establishment of the register persons who are citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and for issuing passports. Freedom of movement is therefore limited by the obligation to persons registered and issued them passports. In the process of issuing passports citizen submits biometric data, in accordance with international standards. This shall be done for the purpose of regulating the right to freedom of movement with the guarantee of the right to a safe environment. Passports must be made in accordance with international recommendations and standards defined by the UN specialized agency for air traffic ICAO. The passports are entered biometric and other data of the passport holder in such a way that they must be machine-readable and electronic readable. According to ICAO standards are created and readers at border crossings to ensure an efficient and quick readability of passports. Each state must provide mechanisms that guarantee the identity of each holder of the passport. Every single issued passport in every country is the guarantor of international security, and each piece of data, including biometric must be kept in a way that guarantees the right to privacy. This paper presents an overview of the optimal relationship that is necessary to establish a basic human rights, and limitations of these rights in the allocation of a small security using biometric data and are presented with safeguards against abuse of biometric data.
