  • Health Care Systems in Bih Financing Challenges and Reform Options?
    ANALYSIS Sarajevo Health Care Systems in BiH Financing challenges and reform options? Marko Martić and ognjen Đukić, SarajeVo October 2017 High expectations and increasing needs of citizens have influenced a relatively high share of private expenditure in total health expenditure (28% in 2014) which is double the EU average (14%). In 2014, the private household health care spending of a family with three members averaged 50 KM monthly, which may pose a serious burden for the families living below or near poverty line. It indicates a certain degree of inequality in access to health care services among the citizens of BiH. There is a high level of inequality of public expenditure in health sector among the cantons by insured person in FBiH (from 453 KM to 875 KM), given that revenues from the employees’ contributions “return” to the canton they were collected in It can be said that the principle of solidarity does not extend beyond the cantonal level in this way. In order to achieve a higher level of equality in the public resources for health sector among the cantons, it is necessary for the cantons or the Government of FBiH to find other resources to make it possible. High dependence of this system on the contributions from the employed is not an optimal solution for BiH taking into account a low employment rate and population aging process. Among the EU countries applying mainly the Bismarck’s model, a trend of movement towards the so-called “mixed model” can be noticed – model involving greater participation of other sources of financing, in addition to the wage-based con- tributions.

  • Science-Technology Park Ilidža As a Generator of Innovation Potential and SME’S Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    ISSN 2303-4521 PERIODICALS OF ENGINEERING AND NATURAL SCIENCES Vol. 1 No. 2 (2013) Available online at: http://pen.ius.edu.ba Science-Technology Park Ilidža as a Generator of Innovation Potential and SME’s Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina Darko Petković Hazim Bašić Benjamin Duraković Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Mechanical Engineering International University Sarajevo University of Zenica University of Sarajevo Faculty of Engineering [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sanja Prodanović Faculty of Economics East Sarajevo University of East Sarajevo [email protected] Abstract Many nations are currently adopting a variety of directed strategies to launch and support the development of research parks. Science and technology research parks are seen increasingly as a means to create dynamic clusters that accelerate economic growth and international competitiveness. Technology parks represent the place of SME's development and the place of the most direct technological transfer. Research parks encourage greater collaboration among universities, research laboratories, and SMEs, providing a means to help convert new ideas into the innovative technologies for the market. They are recognized to be a tool to create successful new companies, sustain them and attract new ones, especially in the science, technology, and innovation sector. Universities, in turn, benefit by exposure to the business world. What all these parks have in common is that they are, at heart, knowledge partnerships that foster innovation. University research and science parks provide the launch pad that startup companies need when they are "spun out" from a university or company. The current state of development of technology parks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and possibilities of establishment of a new technology park in Sarajevo (Ilidža) region are analyzed in this paper.

    CHROMOSOME ABERRATIONS AS BIOINDICATORS OF ENVIRONMENTAL &GENOTOXICITY Slavica Ibrulj¹,² , Sanin Haverić²*, Anja Haverić² ¹ Faculty of Medicine, University of Sarajevo, Čekaluša , Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina Institute for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Gajev trg , Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina * Corresponding author Abstract Due to the exposure to various potentially genotoxic xenobiotics, derived from recent war activities such as NATO air strikes with antitank ammunition contain- ing depleted uranium, we have evaluated chromosome aberrations in periph- eral blood samples from three local populations. One population sample included individuals who lived in the Sarajevo area during and after the war (exposed to potential genotoxins), second population was presented with employees of the tank repair facility in Hadžići (target of NATO air strikes), and inhabitants of Posušje (not exposed to war-related activities) were treated as sample of control population. Th e mean of chromosome aberration frequencies for the population from Hadžići was signifi cantly higher than the frequencies for the two other popu- lations. Point bi-serial coeffi cient analysis did not reveal any relationship between the frequencies of chromosome aberrations and smoking habits or gender. Results suggest that depleted uranium could be a risk factor for human health.
