Year 1993, the beginning of the work of the Islamic Pedagogical Academy in Zenica, the first meeting with Prof. Ajanović. It was that a time of personal confusion, great pain and unquestionable communitarian identification with Bosnia and the Bosnian language Muslims. We were the professor's assistants, we studied the first steps of the academic journey from prof. Ajanović. Beige arrogance, without highlighting the difference in our academics titles, prof. Dževdeta shaped our beginnings patiently, gently and with trust. If we gave later to his assistants, at least the essence of the essential human, that is from prof. Ajanović, she taught us that.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the attributions of obesity and attitudes towards obese people in medical students and to examine whether the frequency and quality of contact with obese people moderates this relationship. The study involved 360 medical students, 261 female students and 96 male students, with an average age of 21.88 (SD = 2.12) years. The survey was online, and the participants filled out questions related to demographics, the causes of obesity scale, anti-fat attitudes scale, as well as questions about the frequency and quality of contact with obese people. The obtained results show that the attribution of the cause of obesity by internal factors is associated with more negative attitudes towards obese people. More frequent and high-quality contacts are associated with more positive attitudes towards obese people. No significant interactions were obtained between attributions of causes of obesity and contact on the attitudes towards obese people. The obtained results are commented in the context of the effects that students' negative attitudes have on obese people and the importance of contact in reducing these negative attitudes.

This paper shows how students' perception on the dominance of masculinity values and uncertainty avoidance characteristics relates with the level of students' cultural intelligence. In order to examine the phenomena, the research was conducted on a sample of 146 exchange programme students (ERASMUS exchange programme). The results indicate a positive and significant correlation between the variables uncertainty avoidance and determinants of cultural intelligence. Furthermore, the obtained results indicate a negative correlation between students' perception on dominance of masculinity values and metacognitive and motivational cultural intelligence, while relationships with cognitive and behavioural cultural intelligence were statistically non-significant. The results of this study can help teachers, researchers, and economic and social policy makers to build educational models that will help students develop an awareness of cultural disparities. As a result, individuals will be able to focus their efforts on developing and shaping the individual mental dimensions necessary for successful adaptation to the international environment.

The article is the result of a search for effective tools that can support the process of enriching the individual lexicon of students. The possibilities of involving students in this process through the use of selected ICT tools were indicated. It was pointed out that the use of various platforms and mobile applications in the development and control of lexical skills is conducive to individualization of teaching, and its inclusion in the learning process requires an analysis for usefulness in achieving expected learning outcomes. Online learning platforms such as WordWall and LearningApps, that allow for the design of interactive exercises facilitating the learning of foreign languages, and in particular the improving of foreign vocabulary, were analyzed. Their use in the course of independent learning enables the enrichment of vocabulary in accordance with the interests and individual communication needs of students. The inclusion of these tools in the didactic process may positively affect the motivation to learn, and their systematic use, both in the classroom and during individual work, it also allows the acceleration of the memorization of the vocabulary of a foreign language.
