Abstract Trapa natans L., water chestnut (indian name singada, montenegrin name kasaronja) belonging to Trapaceae family is annual aquatic floating herb native to Asia but widely distributed in the Europe and in North America. The presence of two species, Trapa natans L. and Trapa longicarpa M.Jank. ssp. scutarensis M.Jank has been confirmed on the Skadar lake in Montenegro. Trapa natans is a plant demonstrating promising pharmacological activity mostly due to the presence of its...

Antonomasia in BCMS and a woman’s place in the Balkan society

SummaryAntonomasia implies two opposing semantic mechanisms: the replacement of a proper name by an appellative, epithet or periphrasis (e. g.the Iron Ladystanding for Margaret Thatcher), or the attribution of a proper name to an appellative or a set of certain personality traits (e. g.a Penelopestanding for a faithful, devoted wife). The aim of this paper is to show that studying antonomasia as a figure of speech driven by a cognitive metonymic and metaphoric mechanism can contribute to revealing...

Relationship between insulin-like growth factor-1, insulin resistance and metabolic profile with pre-obesity and obesity in children

Abstract Objectives Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition with alarmingly high rates worldwide. There is controversy regarding the relationship between insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and pediatric obesity. We investigated the relationship between IGF-1, insulin resistance and metabolic profile with childhood pre-obesity/obesity. Methods The study involved 201 children...

Comparison of Dako HercepTest and Ventana PATHWAY anti-HER2 (4B5) tests and their correlation with silver in situ hybridization in lung adenocarcinoma

Abstract Background Discordant results exist about the role of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression and/or HER2 amplification in lung adenocarcinoma. We aimed to compare the performance of HercepTest and PATHWAY anti-HER2 (4B5) by correlating immunohistochemistry (IHC) results with silver in situ hybridization (SISH) in adenocarcinoma lung specimens. Methods...

Class balancing in customer segments classification using support vector machine rule extraction and ensemble learning

An objective and data-based market segmentation is a precondition for efficient targeting in direct marketing campaigns. The role of customer segments classification in direct marketing is to predict the segment of most valuable customers who is likely to respond to a campaign based on previous purchasing behavior. A good-performing predictive model can significantly increase revenue, but also, reduce unnecessary marketing campaign costs. As this segment of customers is generally the smallest, most...

ESTIMATION OF BODY HEIGHT IN MONTENEGRIN ADULTS USING FOOT LENGTH MEASUREMENTS: NATIONAL SURVEY

The aim of this research was to examine the body height of Montenegrin adults - students of the University of Montenegro of both sexes, and the foot length which was used as an alternative to estimating the body height. The nature and scope of this study was to analyze 713 individuals (370 men, aged 21.78±2.13 and 343 women, aged 21.01±1.57). The protocol of the ISAK was used for anthropometric measurements. Means and standard deviations were obtained. The t-test was used to compare the means of...

Effect of chemical composition and T6 heat treatment on the mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of Al-Si alloys for IC engine components

The microstructural examinations of Al-Si alloys intended to manufacture IC engine components revealed a complex phase composition in all the samples. The polyhedral crystals of primary silicon were detected in the Al-12.5Si alloy, besides the ?-Al phase, eutectic silicon, and several intermetallic phases, identified in the cast samples of both alloys. Better tensile properties were found for the samples of Al-11Si. A predominantly intercrystalline fracture with features of ductile failure was observed...
