    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Analysis of High School Graduate Data Using Database Analytics Tools]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[It can be confidently stated that access to education is one of the most prized possessions available to us today. Although there are underlying factors such as the discrepancies in the education being provided worldwide, it is imperative that data scientists and all those interested take advantage of the data publicly available to draw necessary insights into how to better the education sector in our respective countries. The purpose of this research is to showcase various analytical insights into the 2020 New York State (NYS) high school graduation rate data using various advanced database systems techniques, specifically using SQL. With these analyses, further studies and conclusions can be drawn for local governments to implement into their plans to increase the quality of the schooling system, to aim for equality for all without regard to cultural and ethnic background, and to find discrepancies within the current system.&lt;/div&gt;<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Analysis of Transient and Voltage Stability of an 11-Busbar Testing System]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A comprehensive treatment from the physical and mathematical perspective supply<br />
modelling, analysis, control and covers a range of topics including modelling, computation of load<br />
flow in the transmission grid, stability analysis of the transient state. It is widely accepted that<br />
transient stability is an important aspect in designing and upgrading electric power system. In<br />
utility planning, transient stability is studied by numerical simulation. It involves the study of the<br />
power system following a major disturbance. In order to study Electric Power System transient<br />
stability, the models to describe their components should be defined. The components are defined<br />
using the classical model, which is valid to time periods up to 2 seconds. This project contains 11<br />
busbars, 1 synchronous generator, 3 loads and 8 transformers. This research is done in DIgSILENT<br />
PowerFactory software for network modeling and simulation by using Stability Analysis Functions<br />
(RMS) advanced feature. In this paper we are analyses the maximum rated power of distributed<br />
generation (DG) considering only the terms of voltage limit constraints, the N-1 operational<br />
criterion analysis and three-phase symmetrical fault analysis for N-1 criterion is examined.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Biometrics Based Access Control System]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[​Access control includes attendance checking and intrusion prevention. It is used to protect<br />
property, employees and other assets of a company or institution. Since attendance checking and<br />
intrusion detection are important segments of many educational institutions and other businesses as<br />
well, it is important to make these processes faster, easier and as convenient as possible. Lots of<br />
institutions are suffering from unreliable attendance checking methods, so we have decided to use<br />
biometrics, more precisely face recognition to automate and improve this overall process. As part of<br />
this study the full system has been implemented for recognition of people. As an example of usage in<br />
an educational institutions multiple photos will be recorded during the class session, so that in case<br />
of students leave class after the first shot, they will be removed from attendance sheet. All<br />
recognized people will be stored in Mongo database as an array of features and later read from<br />
database and processed by using Python script for face recognition. All educational institutions are<br />
going to have benefits from this study. Benefits would be improving attendance management and<br />
security.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Comparison Test of Sensitivity Between Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Hotspot Panel<br />
and Droplet Digital PCR of KRAS G12 / G13 Mutation]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Cancer is an abnormal proliferation of cells that is characterized by the<br />
presence of genomic alterations including DNA mutations, deletions, insertions,<br />
translocations, inversions, and others. KRAS gene is one of the most mutated<br />
genes across different cancer types. The most common mutations in KRAS are<br />
found in codons 12 and 13 of KRAS protein, which are associated with a lack of<br />
response to anti- epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody therapy. This<br />
study assessed and compared the performance between two diagnostic methods:<br />
droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and next generation sequencing (NGS). The main<br />
goal was to determine KRAS G12 / G13 mutant allele fraction using NGS and to<br />
compare the accuracy toddPCR. A total of 28 samples of non – small cell lung<br />
cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) were analyzed using ddPCR and<br />
NGS methods. Our results show that even though both methods exhibited high<br />
rate of concordance and correlation, the study proved that ddPCR is more<br />
superior when it comes to detecting low frequency mutations. Even though strong<br />
correlation was observed, based on the values obtained, we concluded that ddPCR<br />
is more accurate, reliable, and sensitive in comparison with NGS.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Contemporary housing trends in Sarajevo]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Within the last 20 years, there has been witnessed a significant increase of the urban<br />
population of Sarajevo, as a result of economic and social migrations. Consequently, this has caused<br />
an increasing demand for new housing which is mainly profit-oriented without any beneficial social,<br />
environmental or cultural implication. Primary objective of this research is to analyze the current<br />
situation and to assess the quality of the buildings not only as a housing solution, but as a complex<br />
that unites the community who inhabits it. This research will be conducted in a qualitative manner<br />
in analysis and statistical approach over the data related to the urbanization, building standards<br />
and positive effects of the building. Newly built parts of settlements Otoka and Stup will be used as<br />
case studies, since these parts of the city are most influenced by the mass production of the new<br />
housing solutions. This paper stresses out the correlation between high demand for the new housing<br />
and decreased quality of the housing without respecting minimum spatial and environmental<br />
standards, without basic amenities, social infrastructure and recreational and cultural activities.<br />
There is a need for improvements in contemporary housing design that will reflect with positive<br />
impacts on social, environmental, economic and cultural aspects of urban living.<br />

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes in people’s lifestyles. Some of those changes hurt people&#039;s mental health in different age groups. This research is done to investigate which factors contributed most to the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms during COVID-19 lockdown, and what type of people in terms of age, sex, level of education, place of living, was the most exposed to the appearance of mental health disorders. 1115 people (18-85 years old) from Poland joined the research process. They fulfilled online questionnaires which were used as a basis for further research of lockdown impact on mental health. Responses are evaluated by using ML tools predicting the group of participants with signs of depression and<br />
anxiety, based on their answers to the questionnaires, and the attributes of the participants. Based on the results given by the studies, the youngest population (age 18-29), which participated in the surveys, experienced more intense depression and anxiety symptoms than participants from other age groups.]]></dcterms:abstract>

population: a review of previous studies]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Thrombophilia is a condition that is associated with an individual’s risk for venous or<br />
arterial thrombosis, as well as a risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Gene variants that are the most<br />
commonly associated with inherited thrombophilia are F5 mutation 1691G&gt;A (Factor V Leiden), F2<br />
20210G&gt;A (prothrombin mutation), MTHFR 677C&gt;T, and PAI-1 variant 4G/5G. This paper aims to<br />
review currently available literature on the prevalence of heritable thrombophilia genetic markers<br />
and their association with thromboembolic events in Bosnia and Herzegovina. PubMed and PubMed<br />
Central databases of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and ResearchGate<br />
were searched to identify the most relevant studies. The results of the previously published studies<br />
show discrepancies when it comes to reported findings, thus implying that further research on this<br />
topic is necessary. It is suggested that new studies include greater sample size in order to confirm the<br />
correlation between the studied variants and conditions associated with heritable thrombophilia in<br />
the Bosnian-Herzegovinian population and to advance the understanding of these variants.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract - The primary objective of this study was to show how the density of the initial bacterial inoculum effects the zone inhibition in Disk diffusion Bauer Kirby (BK) antibiotic susceptibility testing. In this study, three strains of Staphylococcus aureus were tested: a methicillin sensitive clinical strain, a methicillin resistant clinical strain and ATCC 25923. A series of decreasing initial inoculum densities of the three tested strains were prepared and poured onto Mueller Hinton agar plates. After overnight incubation the zones of inhibition around tested antibiotics from different inoculum densities were measured in mm. The results showed that inoculum density does have an effect on the zones of inhibition in BK antibiotic susceptibility testing of S.aureus where in the case of gentamycin sensitivity category change occurred. Correlation analysis showed that there is significant negative correlation between tested inoculum densities and zones of inhibition clinical methicillin sensitive strain of S.aureus after using oxacillin and gentamycin (Pearson coefficient were -0.917 and -0.892, respectively), and between tested inoculum densities and zones of inhibition clinical methicillin resistant strain of S.aureus after using ampicillin (Pearson coefficient was -0.960). Hence, initial bacterial inoculum density can be of high relevance in Bauer-Kirby disk diffusion testing and ought to be precisely determined in purpose of adequate therapy ordination.<br />

]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[B. subtilis is normally considered a soil organism, it can be also found in the animal and<br />
human gastrointestinal tract. Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii is a type of Bacillus subtilis complex.<br />
It shares up to 99% of homology with B. subtilis CU1, which can be represented as a probiotic<br />
strain. Metal compounds found in soil or used in agriculture can easily enter the food chain and end<br />
up in our gut. Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Bacillus spp.) have good adsorptive capacity for metals<br />
due to high peptidoglycan and teichoic acid content in cell walls. There is some evidence that<br />
certain metals inside the intestine play an important role in influencing growth and functionality of<br />
specific probiotic strains. Some of them have inhibitory, while others have an activating effect on<br />
bacteria. This study revealed that metal compounds increased antibiotic susceptibility of B. subtilis<br />
subsp. spizizenii. Higher concentrations of metal solutions inhibited growth of tested bacteria.<br />
Culture did not show affinity to form biofilms before or after addition of metal solutions]]></dcterms:abstract>
