Amar had served as a soldier in the war and lost his brother. At present, however, they have apparently built up a successful life she as an air hostess with B&H Airlines , he as an air traffic controller at the Sarajevo International Airport .

Though identifying as Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina Muslim s in the context of Bosnia s ethnic set up, religion plays no part in their life.

  1. Critical illumination

    unreferenced date January 2011 Critical illumination or Nelsonian illumination is a method of specimen illumination used for transmitted and reflected light trans and epi illuminated optical microscopy . Critical illumination focuses an image of a light source on to the specimen for bright illumination. Critical illumination generally has problems with evenness of illumination as an image of the illumination source for example a halogen lamp filament is visible in the resulting image. K hler illumination has largely replaced critical illumination in modern scientific light microscopy although it requires additional optics which less expensive and simpler light microscopes may not have. Optical principles File Critical Illumination.svg thumb center 500px The optical setup and light path of critical illumination showing the conjugate image planes of the various optical components. Critical illumination acts to form an image of the light source on the specimen to illuminate it, this image is formed by the condenser or collector lens. This illumination is bright but not always even as any structure in the light source for example the filament of a light bulb will be visible in the resulting image. Homogenous light sources such as a flame or the sun give more even illumination. Alternatively a ground or opal glass diffuser can be used to homogenise the light source, although a significant amount of light will be scattered away from the sample.

  1. Critical historiography

    Critical historiography approaches the history of art, literature or architecture from a critical theory perspective. Critical historiography is used by various scholars in recent decades to emphasize the ambiguous relationship between the past and the writing of history. A type of critical historiography can be seen, for example, in the work of Harold Bloom . In Map of Misreading , Bloom argued that poets should not be seen as autonomous agents of creativity, but rather as part of a history that transcends their own production and that to a large degree gives it shape. The historian can try to stabilize poetic production so as to better understand the work of art, but can never completely extract the historical subject from history. Also among those who argue for the primacy of historiography is the architectural historian Mark Jarzombek . The focus of this work is on disciplinary production rather than poetic production, as was the case with Bloom. Since psychology which became a more or less official science in the 1880s is now so pervasive, Jarzombek argued, but yet so difficult to pinpoint, the traditional dualism of subjectivity and objectivity has become not only highly ambiguous, but also the site of a complex negotiation that needs to take place between the historian and the discipline. The issue, for Jarzombek, is particular poignant in the fields of art and architectural history, the principal subject of the book. Pierre Nora s notion of ego histories, also moves in the direction of critical historiography. The idea of these histories is to bring into focus the relationship between the personality of historians and their life choices in the process of writing of history.
