Describe the important developments relating to the Bologna Process, including legislative reforms, since Bergen. Over the past two years in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), some significant shifts have been recorded in the implementation of the Bologna Process. The biggest credit for this goes primarily to the public universities in BiH and the international community (first of all the Council of Europe, the European Commission in BiH and the Austrian Development Agency). As of this year, at all public universities in BiH, the implementation of the first cycle has started in compliance with the Bologna principles. The curricula have been reformed and adjusted to the two-cycle system of study; two models have been most often used: 3+2 and 4+1, depending on the university or the study group. Some faculties and universities had started the implementation of the first cycle as early as in the 2003/04 academic year, and next year we will be expecting the first generation of students bearing the title of Bachelor of Science.

  • Creating Value in the Entrepreneurial University: Marketization and Merchandising Strategies
    administrative sciences Article Creating Value in the Entrepreneurial University: Marketization and Merchandising Strategies Chiara Fantauzzi *, Rocco Frondizi , Nathalie Colasanti and Gloria Fiorani Department of Management and Law, University of Rome Tor Vergata, 00133 Roma, Italy; [email protected] (R.F.); [email protected] (N.C.); gloria.fi[email protected] (G.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 August 2019; Accepted: 14 October 2019; Published: 18 October 2019 Abstract: Higher education institutions are called to expand their role and responsibilities, by enhancing their entrepreneurial mindset and redefining relationships with stakeholders. In order to cope with these new challenges, they have started to operate in a strategic manner, by performing marketing and merchandising activities. Indeed, in a sector characterized by the presence of competitive funding models, several forms of accountability, and performance indicators, universities have become open systems and have started to operate like enterprises, considering students as customers. Given this premise, the aim of the paper is to individuate marketing and merchandising strategies in higher education and to evaluate their effectiveness in order to foster stakeholders engagement. This is in line with the entrepreneurial university model that represents the starting point of the theoretical study, then a literature review of “marketization” in higher education institutions is presented, showing how this field is not yet completely investigated. Data refer to the Italian context and are analyzed through a qualitative method. Findings suggest that most Italian universities perform merchandising strategies, but currently there is not sufficient information to evaluate their effectiveness in higher education, it was only possible to make hypotheses.

  • The Effects of Maltreatment in Childhood on Working Memory Capacity in Adulthood
    Europe's Journal of Psychology ejop.psychopen.eu | 1841-0413 Research Reports The Effects of Maltreatment in Childhood on Working Memory Capacity in Adulthood Arta Dodaj* a, Marijana Krajina b, Kristina Sesar c, Nataša Šimić d [a] Department of Psychology, University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia. [b] Department of Psychology, University of Mostar, Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. [c] Centre of Mental Health, Široki Brijeg, Bosnia and Herzegovina. [d] Department of Psychology, University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia. Abstract The aim of this study was to research the relation between exposure to maltreatment in childhood and working memory capacity in adulthood. A survey among 376 females in the age between 16 and 67 was administered. Exposure to maltreatment in childhood (sexual, physical and psychological abuse, neglect and witnessing family violence) was assessed retrospectively using the Child Maltreatment Questionnaire (Karlović, Buljan-Flander, & Vranić, 2001), whilst the Working Memory Questionnaire (Vallat-Azouvi, Pradat-Diehl, & Azouvi, 2012) was used to assess working memory capacity (recalling verbal information, numerical information, attention ability and executive functioning). The results suggest a significantly greater prevalence of physical abuse and witnessing family violence in comparison to other forms of maltreatment in childhood. Psychological abuse and witnessing family violence have shown themselves to be statistically significant predictors for deficits in total working memory capacity, verbal recall and attention ability. The results suggest that traumatic experiences during childhood, such as abuse, may trigger particular cognitive changes which may be reflected in adulthood. It is, therefore, exceedingly important to conduct further research in order to contribute to the understanding of the correlation between cognitive difficulties and maltreatment in childhood.

They are a key aspect of the University activities which, through international research activities as well as student, teacher and researcher mobility, contributes to achieving excellence in all areas of sciences and arts, study programmes and studying at the University, and the international and particularly regional visibility and recognisability of the University. The University's mission in the area of international cooperation Research, according to international standards of quality, is the best form of university teaching.

Emotional Competence and Sexting among University Students Kristina Sesar 1 University of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Arta Dodaj 2 University of Zadar, Croatia Ana Kordi ć3 University of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between sexting and emotional competence. A total of 440 students from the University of Mostar took part in this research, aged from 18 to 25 years (M=21.32, SD=1.84). The participants completed the Scale of Sexting Behaviour, and The Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire. The results of the study showed that 23.64% students had participated in receiving and sending sexually suggestive or provocative contents, whilst 10.23% had openly publicized such content. Young men participated to a greater extent in sexting in comparison with young women, and were less successful in recognition and understanding emotions, as well as in regulating and managing emotions. The data analysis revealed that the participants with lower results on the scale of emotional competence were involved more often in receiving, sending or publishing sexually suggestive or provocative contents.

  • Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    c e p s Journal | Vol.10 | No1 | Year 2020 83 doi: 10.26529/cepsj.715 Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina Meliha Zejnilagić-Hajrić*1 and Ines Nuić2 • In this paper, the education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is pre- sented in the light of current state-level legislation, with an emphasis on chemistry education at the primary, secondary and tertiary level. The consequences of the last war in our country still persist and are visible in many aspects of everyday life, including the education system, thus lim- iting the efforts of education professionals to follow international trends in education. There are three valid curricula for primary education at the national level, each of which differs in the national group of school subjects. Teaching methods are common for all three curricula and are mainly teacher-oriented. The situation is similar with regard to second- ary education. Study programmes at the university level are organised in accordance with the Bologna principles. The programmes are made by the universities themselves and approved by the corresponding ministry of education. Chemical education research in Bosnia and Herzegovina is mainly conducted at the University of Sarajevo. It deals with (1) the problems of experimental work in chemistry teaching, resulting in more than 60 experiments optimised for primary and secondary school, (2) integrating the knowledge of chemistry, physics and physical chemis- try for university students, with regard to students’ difficulties observed during university courses and potential solutions, and (3) the effective- ness of web-based learning material in primary school chemistry for the integration of macroscopic and submicroscopic levels.
