Pectin is widely studied due to its favorable physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and non-toxic nature. Methylation of pectin represents a natural structural modification occurring within plant cell walls and is considered part of the defense mechanism against microbial pathogens. In this study, molecular docking analysis was performed t...

The authors propose a new model for count time series based on a hybrid structure that combines an autoregressive component with an innovation-driven component, where regime selection at each time point is governed by a latent Markov process. The key novelty of the model is the introduction of an additional, independent latent process that dynamica...

This paper explores the development of the circular economy in Bosnia and Herzegovina by analysing the first concrete steps away from a linear, landfill‑dependent model and towards more resource‑efficient waste and material management. It builds on a comprehensive study of waste management systems, secondary raw materials and investment opportuniti...

This paper considers automata as models of systems used for information processing and computational execution. Special attention is devoted to the coalgebraic approach and the category of matrices as modern methods for the formal description of dynamic and state-based systems. By viewing automata as coalgebras, it becomes possible to model system ...
