Dr. Smilje Mu\u010dibabi\u0107.<\/p>\n

In teaching the first generation of biology students (academic year 1953-1954), prof. Academician Sini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107 from Belgrade, who taught ecology in the first years, and prof. Dr. \u017divko Slavni\u0107 from Novi Sad.<\/p>\n

Prof. Slavni\u0107 spent the rest of his teaching and scientific career at the University of Sarajevo, where he primarily taught the subject Systematics of higher plants and, in the first years, due to a lack of staff, also the subjects Plant Ecology with Phytogeography, Evolution with Genetics and Plant Physiology.<\/p>\n

In 1953, another teacher joined the education of the first generation of biology students, a scientist from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a prominent algologist, Anto Jurilj, at that moment in the position of assistant professor. He will already in 1957. to be elected to the position of associate professor at the Department of Biology.<\/p>\n

Three years later, in July 1956, the director of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Split, ichthyologist, prof. Dr. Tonko \u0160oljan, who also spent the rest of his teaching and scientific career at the University of Sarajevo.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2”][vc_single_image image=”10143” img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

She was born in Mostar and died in Sarajevo. She was:<\/p>\n

\u2022 the first Bosnian Doctor of Biological Sciences (Cambridge, 1953),
\n\u2022 founder and first head of the Biology Department of the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo (1953),
\n\u2022 Sumerian of the Faculty of Science, Sarajevo (PMF) (1954),
\n\u2022 the first dean of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Sarajevo (1960),
\n\u2022 founder, first and long-term head of the Biology Department of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Sarajevo (1960),
\n\u2022 co-founder and first president of several professional and scientific associations and their newsletters (in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the former Yugoslavia).<\/p>\n

She received her elementary and high school education in Mostar, and from 1930 to 1934 she studied biology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. Before the war, she was assigned to the position of professor in Veliki Gradi\u0161te, and then in Sremski Karlovci and Krapina. During the Second World War, she was a prisoner of the German-Ustasha camps near Zagreb.<\/p>\n

After the war, Smilja Mu\u010dibabi\u0107 returned to Krapina and worked at the Gymnasium until the end of the 1945\/1946 school year. year At her own request, she was sent to the Teacher's School in Mostar, and then appointed as a teacher and then the director of the Gymnasium. In the fall of 1949. she was officially transferred to the position of professor at the Higher Pedagogical School in Sarajevo, where she worked until the establishment of the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo (1954). Immediately after transferring to this faculty, she was sent to specialize in the Zoological Institute of the Faculty of Natural Sciences in Belgrade, where (for two years) she prepared for the creation of the structure of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and its Department of Biology.<\/p>\n

With a scholarship from the British Council at the University of Cambridge, for two years, she specialized and did the experimental part of her (it will turn out) doctoral dissertation in the field of protozoological ecology, which she then wrote and defended (1953). The results of her doctoral dissertation were published in elite British scientific journals in the field of protozoology (Journal of Protozoology, for example). Smilja Mu\u010dibabi\u0107 was the first to open the door to international journalism for BiH scientists by publishing her results in the elite journals of her field: Journal of Experimental Biology, Journal of General Microbiology, Quaterly Journal of Microscopical Science, Journal of Cell Science and other journals of that renown.<\/p>\n

After returning to Sarajevo (1954), Dr. Smilja Mu\u010dibabi\u0107 did a huge job in the institutional establishment, organization and implementation of the Department of Biology (Faculty of Philosophy), where she was the first elected teacher and employee.<\/p>\n

Professor Mu\u010dibabi\u0107's scientific research opus opens pioneering and initiating research in the field of biological sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the wider environment. She was the registrar and founder of the modern development of biological sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She introduced new research methods and stimulated the development of the upcoming most propulsive research directions that were affirmed towards the end of her active research engagement.
\nSmilja Mu\u010dibabi\u0107's professional research work and associated journalistic activity include idioecological and synecological scientific research of protozoan populations (under controlled laboratory conditions), the first projects of complex ecological and biosystematic field research in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and active participation in starting and editing scientific and professional journals.<\/p>\n

Starting from experiential data about the situation in BiH science at the time, prof. Mu\u010dibabi\u0107, in addition to creating the institutional and infrastructural prerequisites for its development in the field of biology, synchronized and especially carefully took care of the selection of future young researchers and educators, while having a clear vision of the development of future fundamental biological sciences.
\nHer care was not limited only to the assistants of the Department of Biology of the Faculty of Science, Sarajevo, but she also provided valuable and selfless help to many other biologists. Respecting her visions and unobtrusiveness, many turned to her for advice and help, and there were even more who she encouraged and stimulated in various ways. She relied on her exceptional professional and social awareness, broad biological education and active knowledge of English, German and French. She particularly encouraged the development of scientific personnel at the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Sarajevo, the Biological Institute of the University of Sarajevo and the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as at the faculties of biotechnical and biomedical sciences.<\/p>\n

Professor Mu\u010dibabi\u0107 initiated complex limnological studies of the Bosnia river basin as well as the first ecological studies in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
\nThe creative work of prof. Dr. Smilje Mu\u010dibabi\u0107 contributed significantly to the development of primary and secondary education in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially during the reform of primary education, when he worked very hard and contributed to the creation of new plans and programs in biology. Then, in collaboration with other authors, she wrote four textbooks for primary and secondary school, and they all had a dozen editions.<\/p>\n

In 1969, at the Department of Biology, he co-organized and encouraged the establishment of a postgraduate study program with two majors (ecological and systematic). By actively participating in the translation of prominent textbooks of the time (Darwinism Course by Paramonov and Basics of General Zoology by Alfred Kino) and by publishing her own textbooks, among which her book “Fundamentals of Ecology” stands out, which for some time was the only ecology textbook in the Bosnian language, Dr. Smilja Mu\u010dibabi\u0107 made a significant contribution to the improvement of biology teaching at all levels of its study.<\/p>\n

In the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Yugoslavia, she wrote a chapter on scientific work in the field of biology in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among the more notable media appearances was her participation in the TV series “Karavan Prirode”.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Academician Tonko \u0160oljan” tab_id=”tonko-soljan”][vc_column_text el_class=”kreator-dark-section”]Academician Tonko \u0160oljan (1907\u20131980) was born in the city of Hvar, Croatia, on April 18, 1907. He attended elementary school in Zadar and Split, and high schools in Zadar, Dubrovnik, and \u0160ibenik, where he graduated in 1925. He began his studies in natural sciences at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Zagreb and continued at the universities in Vienna and Graz, where he graduated in 1929. in 1930, and soon received his doctorate.<\/p>\n

Immediately after obtaining the academic degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences, Tonko \u0160oljan was appointed curator of the newly founded Station of the Biological and Oceanographic Institute in Split. At the same time, he also held the position of permanent advisor for sea fishing at the Chamber of Commerce, Crafts, and Industry in Zagreb from 1930 to 1939.<\/p>\n

In 1932, he specialized in marine biology at the Institute of Marine Biology on Heligoland (a German island in the North Sea). After passing the professional exam for a professor of zoology, botany, mineralogy, and geography (1932), he became a professor at the Real High School in Split (1935\u20131941) and director of the City Natural History Museum, Zoo and Marine Aquarium in Split (1939\u20131941). yr.). After the Italian occupation of Split in World War II, he had to move to Zagreb, where he was the head of the Department of Zoology at the Faculty of Philosophy (1943\u20131945) and director of the Zoological Museum (1943\u20131944). Immediately after the end of the war, he was appointed head of the Fisheries Department, and then head of its Department for Scientific Improvement of Fisheries in the Ministry of Coastal Shipping and Fisheries of the Republic of Croatia (1945-1946). In this position, he established several stations for sea research and the improvement of fisheries along the Adriatic coast.<\/p>\n

At the end of July 1956, he moved to Sarajevo, where he was elected as a full professor of zoology at the Faculty of Philosophy, then separated from it, in Sarajevo, where from 1957 to 1959 he was and head of the Department of Biology. From 1959 to the end of 1970. he was the director of the Biological Institute of the University of Sarajevo. At the same time, he is the head of its Department for Ichthyology and Fisheries. He organized and led research into the marine fauna of Neum – Klek Bay, thereby affirming Bosnia and Herzegovina as a maritime-Mediterranean country, then within the former Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n

Academician Tonko \u0160oljan was a member of numerous scientific and professional societies. Since 1927, he has been a member of the Croatian Society of Natural Sciences in Zagreb. In 1949, he was elected an associate of the then Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb (JAZU). He was elected as a corresponding member of the Scientific Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1961, and immediately afterwards as a regular member.<\/p>\n

In 1967, he was elected a regular member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was founded in the same year. He was elected a member of the Society of Systematic Zoology USA in 1950. From 1951 to 1954. he was vice-president of the Permanent International Commission for the Mediterranean (Commission Internationale pour l'exploration Scientifique e la Mer M\u00e9diterand\u00e9e), based in Monaco, and since 1962 he has been a member of its working committee, Comit\u00e9 combin\u00e9 des V\u00e9rtbr\u00e9s marins et des Cephalopods, while since 1952 until 1956. was vice-president of the permanent council, Cons\u00e9il g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des p\u00eaches pour la M\u00e9diteran\u00e9e, at the organization FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) in Rome.<\/p>\n

Since 1956, he has been a member and head of the Biological Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was a member and prominent leader of a number of other scientific and professional societies and their bodies. From the beginning of the founding of the Yugoslav Ichthyological Society in 1967, Professor Tonko \u0160oljan was its president. He was also the editor-in-chief of the magazine Ichthyologia (the Ichthyological Society of Yugoslavia), the Yearbook of the Biological Institute of the University of Sarajevo and the Biolo\u0161ki list (the newsletter of the Biological Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the editor of the Bulletin Scientifique, Section A (for Bosnia and Herzegovina). In 1973, he was the president of the Organizing Committee of the First European Ichthyological Congress held in Sarajevo. Academician \u0160oljan was also one of the first vice-presidents of the Union of Biological Scientific Societies of Yugoslavia. He was a member of the Ichthyological Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina (and Yugoslavia), the Society of Ecologists of Yugoslavia, the Society of Biosystematists of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian Biological Society, the Society of Biosystematists of Yugoslavia, a regular member of the Society for Science and Art of Montenegro, which grew into the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts, etc.<\/p>\n

Tonko \u0160oljan devoted his journalistic opus to the problems of biosystematics and ecology of fish, their biology, reproduction, population dynamics, and fisheries in general. He has published more than 170 scientific and professional works on these topics, some of which have been translated into foreign languages. He is best known for his book Fishes of the Adriatic, an indispensable guide to the fish of this part of the Mediterranean and the most common ‘key’ for their identification. It is inevitably cited in all serious works about the living world of the Adriatic and other European seas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Professor \u017divko Slavni\u0107, Ph.D” tab_id=”zivko-slavnic”][vc_column_text el_class=”kreator-dark-section”]\u017divko Slavni\u0107 (1910-1975) je bio jedan od najeminentnijih botani\u010dara 20. stolje\u0107a u biv\u0161oj Jugoslaviji.

The study of biology lasted eight semesters, and the students took the basic 20 subjects: Physics (optional), General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Practical Chemistry, Basics of General Zoology, Morphology of Plants, Demonstration Practical in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Systematics of non-flowering plants, Systematics of flowering plants, Zoology of invertebrates, Zoology of vertebrates, Physiology of plants, Physiology of animals, Ecology of plants and phytogeography, Ecology of animals and zoogeography, Evolution, Special courses, Diploma thesis.<\/p>\n

Students also listened to lectures and took five general subjects: Sociology, Pedagogy, Biology Teaching Methodology, Pre-military Training and Field Teaching.<\/p>\n

For students, future professors, at the Faculty of Philosophy, according to Article 37 of this statute, the Pedagogical-Didactic Cabinet was organized as an independent teaching unit, which organizes and conducts classes in pedagogy with psychology for students of the Faculty.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_column_text]With the separation of the Faculty of Science from the Faculty of Philosophy, the Department of Biology is renamed into the Group of Biology within which, by the statutory decision of the Council of the Faculty of Science (from May 19, 1961), regular teaching is carried out as part of three “independent interconnected degrees “.<\/p>\n

At the first level, which lasted two academic years, primary school teachers and specialists with a higher education were educated for certain areas of the economy and other social activities. On the second, professors of gymnasiums and vocational schools and specialists of certain profiles with higher education. Teaching at this level included the teaching of the first level and an additional two academic years of education. Within the Group of Biology, and at the first two degrees, students could still opt for two variants (majors) of study, namely biology with chemistry or biology with physics.<\/p>\n

It is envisaged that the teaching of the third course will last two years, to enable the education of “the highest professional staff by giving them in-depth theoretical knowledge and introducing them to special professional and scientific areas as well as independent scientific work”. However, the effective implementation of postgraduate studies at this department was established only in 1969.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1615653527412{padding-top: 45px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_column_text]The curriculum of the first degree included common subjects for both majors, namely: Basics of general zoology, Plant morphology, Systematics of non-flowering plants, Systematics of flowering plants, Invertebrate zoology, Vertebrate zoology, Basics of animal physiology and ecology, Basics of plant physiology and ecology, Sociology, Pedagogy with psychology, biology teaching methodology and pre-military training. Depending on the major (variant) enrolled, students were still required to take Chemistry and Chemistry Practical or Physics and Physics Practical.<\/p>\n

According to the curriculum of the second degree, common subjects were studied at Biology: Biochemistry, Paleontology, Plant Physiology, Animal Physiology, Microbiology, Plant Ecology and Phytogeography, Animal Ecology and Zoogeography, Organic Evolution with Genetics, Special Courses, Biology Teaching Methodology; the student was obliged to defend his Diploma thesis as a final exam.

According to the Statute of the Faculty of Science Sarajevo from 1966, this department unites three departments: the Department of Zoology, the Department of Botany, and the Department of Physiology. At the Faculty of Science and Mathematics, the Pedagogical and Didactic Cabinet operated as an independent teaching unit.<\/p>\n

The teaching and scientific process at the departments was primarily articulated through biological disciplines, the development of which the mentioned departments were in charge of.<\/p>\n

Thus, the Department of Zoology included compulsory teaching subjects: General Zoology, Invertebrate Zoology, Vertebrate Zoology, Animal Ecology and Zoogeography, and Science of Organic Evolution with Genetics, as well as optional subjects in Entomology and Ichthyology.<\/p>\n

The Department of Botany included: Morphology of plants, Systematics of thallophytes, Systematics of cormophytes, Physiology of plants, Ecology of plants and phytogeography, and Methodology of teaching biology and the optional subject Plant life of the Balkans. The Department of Physiology included compulsory subjects: Animal Physiology, Physiological Chemistry, and the optional subject Physiology of Work.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_column_text]The newly introduced scientific disciplines, which the students of the Department of Biology had the opportunity to take as electives, as a direct result of the comparative scientific research development, are Hydrobiology, Entomology, Ichthyology, Cell Physiology, Physiology of Work, Plant World of the Balkans and Teaching Biology at School. The study lasted eight semesters and a total of 24 compulsory subjects were studied.<\/p>\n

Following the Statute of the Faculty of Science Sarajevo from 1969, it does not provide for a new organizational scheme for the Department, nor has the Curriculum undergone changes. However, according to the Statute from 1971, in addition to the three existing chairs (for zoology, botany, and physiology), the Cabinet for Biology Teaching Methodology was separated from the Chair of Botany as a separate unit.<\/p>\n

Scientific research development at the Department also resulted in changes in the curriculum from that period, so that new compulsory subjects were introduced in the biology study that year, and students had the opportunity to study subjects: Cytology and anatomy of plants, General physiology of animals, Comparative physiology of animals, Development animals, Parasitology, Ecological physiology of animals, Virology, Cell ultrastructure, Protozoology, Ichthyology, Biology of aquatic insects, Genetics of microorganisms, Microevolution of plants and Basics of selection.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1615484146028{padding-top: 26px !important;padding-bottom: 62px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_column_text]In 1974, the Faculty of Science adopted a new statute that regulated new organizational and teaching changes in the Department of Biology. During that period, scientific research work is carried out through the Department of Zoology, the Department of Botany, the Department of Animal Physiology, and the Cabinet for Biology Teaching Methodology.<\/p>\n

According to Article 41 of this statute, the following courses are introduced at the Faculty within the group of biological sciences: the course environmental protection, the course of experimental biology, and the course of human biology. Common teaching for all majors includes the following subjects: Vertebrate Zoology, Plant Physiology, General Animal Physiology, Comparative Animal Physiology, Genetics, Evolution, Plant Ecology with Phytogeography, Animal Ecology with Zoogeography, Teaching Methodology and Pedagogy with Psychology. For the first time, genetics is distinguished as a scientific discipline that is studied as part of an independent subject.<\/p>\n

As part of the defined courses, new biological scientific disciplines are introduced: Idioecology and Synecology and nature protection for the course of environmental protection; Animal histology and Special physiology of plants and animals for the direction of experimental biology; and the human biology major, the subjects Special Physiology, Molecular Biology, Physical Anthropology, and Human Genetics.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_column_text]As early as 1979, the Department of Biology introduced a new organizational scheme, and the new Statute of the Faculty of Science Sarajevo organized the following departments at the Department of Biology:<\/p>\n

On the defined courses, in addition to the existing ones, new courses are introduced: Embryology and histology of animals, Biochemistry, Anthropology, Basics of environmental protection, Biometeorology, Ecology and protection of economically important species, Ecological and economic basics of spatial and social planning, Protection of terrestrial ecosystems, Protection aquatic ecosystems, Human ecology, Legal and economic aspects of environmental protection, Bromatology, Mutagenesis, Hematology and Immunology, Ergonomics and work physiology.<\/p>\n

      It is necessary to mention that teaching at the undergraduate level was simultaneously followed by its development at the postgraduate study, for which the teaching was not organized every academic year, but as needed.<\/p>\n

      In the midst of the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 10 and 11, 1992. the employees of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics proposed a new Statute within which the Department of Biology retains the organizational scheme that was adopted by the previous statute in 1979. The changes to the Statute confirmed the previous changes in the Curriculum of Biology studies, which included three directions:<\/p>\n

      teaching major,
      \ngeneral direction,
      \nteacher's direction of dual-subject teaching for elementary school.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_single_image image=”9291” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1615653725563{padding-top: 27px !important;padding-bottom: 65px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_column_text]In the post-war period, the Faculty of Science adopted the Rules of October 2001, which added the Center for Ichthyology and Fisheries, which was founded in 1996, the newly founded Center for Ecology and Natural Resources, and the Institute of Biology, which was founded back in 1946, to the organizational structure of the Department of Biology. year and during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina integrated into the composition of the Department (the scientific contribution of the mentioned centers and institutes is dealt with separately in this monograph).<\/p>\n

      These rules also define the majors in the undergraduate study of biology, namely the eight-semester teaching major and the general major as well as the four-semester teaching major. The rules of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics from 2001 provide for the first time a more detailed scheme of the postgraduate study program at the Department of Biology, which includes four majors:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • genetics,<\/li>\n
      • physiology,<\/li>\n
      • biosystematics,<\/li>\n
      • ecology and environmental protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2”][vc_column_text]The curriculum of the postgraduate study of biology, which includes the mentioned courses, was officially defined for the first time in 1997, then it was innovated on several occasions to finally be included in the internal act of the Faculty of Science, the Rules of the Postgraduate Study of Biological Sciences, which were last amended before the transition to experienced the Bologna regime of study in 2007.<\/p>\n

        From the academic year 2005-2006. in the Department of Biology, students are educated according to the Bologna principles of study. Enrollment for students is possible in all three study cycles, namely in five majors: biochemistry and physiology, ecology, genetics and microbiology, while for the teaching major in the third cycle, a joint doctoral study at the Faculty of Science “Doctoral study in natural and mathematical science in education”.<\/p>\n

        The first calculating (mechanical) machine was brought by prof. Dr. Smilja Mu\u010dibabi\u0107 from Cambridge, in 1954, the first pocket and desktop calculators (digitron, Buje) were introduced into the exercise realization process, as well as the first Xerox\u00ae copier in 1974. The first personal computer arrived at the Department in 1985.
