It is very difficult to motivate students when it comes to a school subject like Mathematics. Teachers spend a lot of time trying to find something that will arouse interest in students. It is particularly difficult to find materials that are motivating enough for students that they eagerly wait for the next lesson. One of the solutions may be found in Vedic Mathematics. Traditional methods of teaching Mathematics create fear of this otherwise interesting subject in the majority of students. Fear increases failure. Often the traditional, conventional mathematical methods consist of very long lessons which are difficult to understand. Vedic Mathematics is an ancient system that is very flexible and encourages the development of intuition and innovation. It is a mental calculating tool that does not require a calculator because the calculator is embedded in each of us. Starting from the above problems of fear and failure in Mathematics, the goal of this paper is to do research with the control and the experimental group and to compare the test results. Two tests should be done for each of the groups. The control group would do the tests in the conventional way. The experimental group would do the first test in a conventional manner and then be subjected to different treatment, that is to say, be taught on the basis of Vedic Mathematics. After that, the second group would do the second test according to the principles of Vedic Mathematics. Expectations are that after short lectures on Vedic mathematics results of the experimental group would improve and that students will show greater interest in Mathematics.

U radu »Interpretacijski pristup poeziji Silvija Strahimira Kranjčevića« autor aktualizira pjesnički i idejno-misaoni razvoj Kranjčevićeve lirike. Idejni i pjesnički razvoj postavljen je u odnos prema pjesnikovoj građanskoj biograifji, njegovoj naobrazbi i duhovnim traženjima te do- maćoj pjesničkoj tradici. U radu se ukazuje na Kranjčevićevo izrastanje u originalnu, samosvojnu i izuzetnu pjesničku ličnost hrvatske književnosti XIX stoljeća.

Abstract
The number of people with excess weight increases every year. Overweight and obesity in childhood can cause several chronic diseases in adulthood. Children with excess body mass develop more morphological and functional changes, including pulmonary functions. One of the common methods to assess lung function is spirometry. This method is a challenge in assessing lung function for pre-school age children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between lung vital capacity and body mass index for the pre-school children aged 3–7 years in Rīga. In total 995 pre-school children were included in the study. An informative consent and questionnaire about the development of each individual child was filled in by parents. Several measurements were performed, including height, body mass, and lung vital capacity. This is the first study in Latvia where several morphologic and somatometric measurements were determined in children of pre-school age. There was a positive and statistically significant correlation between lung vital capacity and body height, mass, and chest circumference. The correlation between lung vital capacity and body mass index was not statistically significant. The main results do not differ from the results of similar studies in other countries. The obtained results will help to create a standard of morphological and somatometric parameters in pre-school aged children in Rīga region.

The new surge of Lithuanian emigrants, who came to Canada after the Second World War (in about 1947) from the camps of displaced persons, did not find in this country neither strong countrymen community nor deep traditions of press in the native language which they used to have in the neighbour country – the United States of America. About 22,000 Lithuanians settled in Canada. As a big number of intellectuals joined former working-class community, new possibilities for development of Lithuanian press arose. Until 2000 over 500 books were printed in Canada, only 50 among them in English. Especially important role in community organizing, native language preservation and national identity rising played Lithuanian weeklies "Nepriklausoma Lietuva" (Independent Lithuania) (Montreal, 1941–2001) and "Tėviškės žiburiai" (Lights of the Mother Country) (launched in Toronto, at the end of 1949 and still being issued). Due to the efforts of the editors – famous historian Adolfas Šapoka (1906–1961) and reverend and philosopher Pranas Gaida-Gaidamavičius(b. 1914) – "Tėviškės žiburiai" became possibly the best weekly of Lithuanian emigrants, popular not only in Canada but in the other countries as Abstractwell. The weekly, finishing its sixth decade, now being edited by Česlovas Stankevičius, managed quietly survive changes of both editors and the exterior of the publication, staying however true to all attitudes of formation of content of publication for all community members. It reflects fullness of the life of Lithuanian community in Canada; therefore the weekly is still popular both among emigrants and in Lithuania itself.Two trends in book publishing especially important for Lithuanian community should be accentuated – Lithuanian education and folk art. A man of merit for Lithuanian education was Antanas Rinkūnas (1909–1985), pedagogue who created the most important textbooks for Lithuanian schools. The brightest advocates of folk art and publishers of books on this topic were famous artists, founders of the Lithuanian Folk Art Institute in Toronto, Anastazija (1906–2005) and Antanas (1906–2005) Tamošaitis. The Lithuanian press in Canada still follows its deep traditions. Lithuanian press and manuscript documents of Lithuanian community activities in Canada are accumulated and preserved in the Lithuanian Museum-Archives, established in 1996, in Toronto. ; Straipsnyje nagrinėjama Kanados lietuvių bendruomenės pastangomis leidžiama spauda ir jos reikšmė saugant gimtąją kalbą ir puoselėjant tautinę tapatybę. Nuo 1945 iki 2000 metų Kanadoje išspausdinta per 500 knygų, iš kurių tik apie 50 – anglų kalba. Ypač svarbų vaidmenį atliko lietuviški savaitraščiai "Nepriklausoma Lietuva" (Monrealis, 1941–2001) ir "Tėviškės žiburiai" (tebeleidžiamas nuo 1949 m.). Šis savaitraštis, ištikimas demokratijos idėjoms, yra populiarus ir išeivijoje, ir Lietuvoje. Knygų leidyboje išskirtinos dvi lietuvių bendruomenei ypač svarbios kryptys – lituanistinis švietimas ir tautodailė. Lituanistiniam švietimui labiausiai nusipelnė pedagogas Antanas Rinkūnas (1909–1985), parengęs svarbiausius vadovėlius lietuviškoms mokykloms. Ryškiausi tautodailės propaguotojai ir tos tematikos knygų leidėjai buvo Anastazija (1910–1991) ir Antanas (1906–2005) Tamošaičiai. Kanados lietuvių spauda ir bendruomeninės veiklos rankraštiniai dokumentai saugomi 1996 m. Toronte įkurtame Kanados lietuvių muziejuje-archyve.

In order for inclusive class to be successful, associates are of great help to teachers. Besides associates, teachers' specialization can be accomplished through educational seminars on the inclusion topic. However, information about inclusion, working with children with special needs, can also be found in scientific journals that offer more information on methods of working with children with special needs, didactic materials customized according to abilities of children. Aim of this research was to establish the ways of supporting teachers in their work with children with special needs. The research included 30 respondents. For needs of this research four schools in Sarajevo canton were selected: "Vladislav Skarić", "Silvija Strahimir Kranjčević", "Isak Samokovlija", and "Avdo Smailović". In all of these schools education of children with special needs is conducted. Based on the analysis, we could conclude that most of the support that teachers receive comes from educational seminars and scientific literature and least of the support comes from associates.

"In this paper, we rstly summarize some properties of the family F and F-convex functions which are de ned by B. Samet. Utilizing generalized fractional integrals new Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for F-convex functions have been provided. Some results given earlier works are also as special cases of our results."
