prijenos

Prijenos is a term used in several South Slavic languages to denote the act of transferring or transmitting something. It is used across different domains to describe the passage of information, energy, goods, or rights from one entity to another. The word appears in phrases such as prijenos podataka (data transfer), prijenos bolesti (disease transmission), and prijenos uživo (live broadcast).

In biology and medicine, prijenos refers to the transmission of pathogens between hosts. Modes of transmission include direct contact, respiratory droplets, vectors such as insects, airborne spread, vertical transmission from mother to child, and zoonotic transfer from animals to humans. Understanding prijenos is central to epidemiology and infection control.

In technology and communications, prijenos covers signal and data transmission. This includes electrical, optical, and wireless transfer of information, as well as the transfer of data between devices or networks. In broadcasting, prijenos uživo describes live coverage of events, often with real-time or near real-time transmission to an audience.

In law and logistics, prijenos denotes the transfer of rights, ownership, or possessions from one party to another. Examples include prijenos vlasništva (transfer of ownership) and prijenos sredstava (transfer of funds). The term can also describe the handover process in logistics, project work, or clinical settings when responsibility is reassigned.
