People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit different impairments in the domain of auditory processing of pitch, altitude and prosody of sounds and voices from the environment. It is believed that altered sensory processing of these individuals originates from insufficient stimulation from the persons’ surroundings, therefore they have the need to stimulate themselves in a way of emitting vocal stereotypes of different forms. Having that in mind, the aim of this literature review is to present interventions used in reducing vocal stereotypy in children with ASD, as well as to examine their efficiency. For literature search engines Google Scholar, SCIndex, ProQuest and Serbian Library Consortium for Coordinated Acquisition – KoBson were used. Original research articles were searched in Serbian and English language. Literature review focused on interventions whose primary aim was reducing vocal stereotypy with the self-stimulatory function in participants diagnosed with ASD. A total number of participants in all articles was nine, whose mean age was 7.1 years old. Different procedures were implemented and in 34.8 sessions on average these procedures and their combination led to an 86.5% of success in reducing vocal stereotypy on average. Having the success of mentioned interventions in mind, it is necessary to educate special educators from our region on how to implement them and introduce these procedures in curriculum of all the Faculties which educate future special educators who will work with children diagnosed with ASD.

The aim of the research was to determine whether the age of the patient affects the duration of the procedure and the amount of ionizied radiation delivered when performing diagnostic coronary angiography. The research was conducted at the Clinic for Invasive Cardiology of the Public Health Institution "University Clinical Center" Tuzla in the period from December 2018. to January 2020. The research included a total sample of 240 respondents, average chronological age of 62.60 ± 9.22 years, ranging from 24 to 85 years. Out of a total of 240 respondents, in 121 respondents coronarny angiography was performed using transradial arterial approach and 119 by performing a transfemoral arterial approach. The total sample was divided into two subsamples of respondents. The first sub-sample consists of respondents up to 65 years of age, and the second sub-sample consists of respondents over 65 years of age. During each performance of coronary angiography, the duration of the procedure (in minutes and seconds) and the amount of radiation delivered during the procedure (in mGy) were measured. The research data were processed using the method of parametric and nonparametric statistics. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to verify the research objective. Based on the obtained research results, it can be concluded that in patients over 65 years of age, the duration of the coronary angiography procedure is longer, and is at the limit of statistical significance (p= 0.057). The amount of delivered radiation is higher in respondents over 65 years of age, but it is not statistically significant (p= 0.396).

The motor development of the child, especially motor coordination, is important for performing purposeful activities. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of individual educational and rehabilitation treatment on motor coordination in students with visual impairment. The sample included one student, male, aged 9 years, with a diagnosis of nystagmus, amblyopia and astigmatism. The initial and final assessment was done with the student, and the Beery-Buktenica developmental test of visual-motor integration (VMI) fifth edition was used for the same, which is intended for the assessment of visual-motor integration, visual perception and motor coordination. For the purposes of this research, the subtest Motor Coordination was used, which consists of 30 tasks. After the initial assessment, an individual educational-rehabilitation treatment lasting 2 months was conducted. Survey data was processed by frequency analysis. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that there has been an improvement in students in the field of motor coordination. The results of the research indicated the importance of recognizing students with motor coordination difficulties as early as possible, as well as the importance of conducting educational and rehabilitation treatment, with a positive effect on motor coordination.

The aim of this research was to examine the orientation and mobility of children with visual impairment in relation to the category of low vision and the type of visual impairment. The research included a sample of 35 respondents with visual impairment, aged between 7 and 15 years. The research was conducted in Sarajevo at the Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth "Nedtarici". The results of the research showed that in relation to the category of low vision, there were no statistically significant differences between arithmetic means, nor statistically significant correlations between respondents with severe low vision and respondents with moderate low vision. In relation to the type of visual impairment, there were also no statistically significant differences in orientation and mobility between visually impaired children

The aim of the study was to determine the latent structure of manifest variables of interpersonal trust and group affiliation of children without parental care. The research included a sample of 122 respondents of both genders, who benefited care in the Childrens SOS Village in Gracanica, the Village of Peace in Turija and the Home for Children without Parental Care in Tuzla. In order to verify the set aim of the research, the Scaler of group affiliation and the Interpersonal trust test were used. A multivariate method of exploratory factor analysis was used to determine latent dimensions. The obtained data processed in the statistical package SPSS 20 for Windows. Based on the obtained research results, four factors were determined that determine the cause-and-effect relationships of interpersonal trust and group affiliation of children without parental care.

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of undesirable behaviors in blind and partially sighted primary school students. The sample consisted of two groups of students: blind (N = 19), partially sighted (N = 44), obtained from the population of students from first to eighth grade of regular primary schools in the Tuzla Canton and the population of blind and visually impaired boarding students also from first to eighth grade at the Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth Nedžarici in Sarajevo and the Center "Buducnost" in Derventa. Variables are divided into 2 groups: independent variables and variables for estimating the prevalence of undesirable behaviors. The obtained results were processed by descriptive analysis and analysis of variance. By analyzing the results on the variables for estimating the prevalence of undesirable forms of behavior, we can conclude that the two examined groups differ statistically significantly in most of the examined variables. Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of undesirable behaviors were shown in younger primary school age, while statistically significant differences in the prevalence of undesirable behaviors in blind and partially sighted students were not shown in older primary school age.
