Introducao: O Diabetes Melittus (DM) e uma doenca sistemica metabolica cronica de prevalencia alta na populacao idosa, que pode implicar no agravamento de manifestacoes orais prejudiciais ao paciente. O cirurgiao-dentista tem papel importante no diagnostico e no tratamento dessas manifestacoes, bem como, pode auxiliar no controle do DM. Objetivo: Analisar, por meio de uma revisao da literatura sistematica, a relacao das condicoes de saude bucal com o DM. Metodos: Foi realizado um levantamento bibliografico nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e Scielo, buscando recuperar artigos relacionados ao tema, selecionados entre o periodo de 2005 e 2015. Conclusao: DM e saude bucal possuem uma relacao bidirecional, comprovada pela maior resistencia a insulina na presenca de inflamacao local e pela prevalencia de doenca periodontal e alteracoes em mucosa oral e glândulas salivares no paciente com DM descompensado. Alteracoes no meio bucal dos portadores de tal patologia tambem podem afetar sua funcao mastigatoria, e por conseguinte, a nutricao, impactando negativamente no controle glicemico. Portanto, o atendimento odontologico pode contribuir com a melhoria da condicao de saude bucal e sistemica alem da qualidade de vida dos idosos com DM.

The paper conducts a survey of satisfaction level of users of two lane road in regards to constructional-geometrical factors influencing unimpeded traffic and influence of human element during its maintenance. Establishing the satisfaction level of users of existing road network is the primary goal of the paper, through the definition of Level of Service of relevance for the analysis of traffic of interurban road network. The survey was conducted on the road section Koprivna – Modrica, regional road R-465 (Busletic - Modrica). Using a questionnaire, the values of influence to the level of users’ satisfaction were established. Traffic infrastructure and elements of horizontal road signs have been identified as two main indicators giving negative grade to the level of satisfaction. The end of paper gives a review of measures for the improvement of existing conditions.

In this paper two parameter Same Slope Seasonality forecasting model was developed. Analytical expressions for determining optimal parameter values of the developed two parameter Same Slope Seasonality forecasting model were developed too. Furthermore, performance of Two Parameter Same Slope Seasonality model was compared with performance of Holt-Winters exponential model as well as with performance of Same Slope Seasonality model. All tests were performed on M2-Competition time series. To determine the parameters of Holt-Winters exponential model, nonlinear mathematical programming was used. Performed tests proved that Two Parameter Same Slope Seasonality model is more successful than Holt-Winters exponential model and Same Slope Seasonality model. Expressions developed for determination parameters of two parameter Same Slope Seasonality forecasting model give parameter values identical to the values obtained by using Solver in MS Excel, set to solve nonlinear programming model, in a way that the problem is set up to search the parameter values which minimizes the mean squared error of the model.

Inventory systems that use continuous review policy are under risk during lead time, when stock-out can occur. Therefore, system must have enough on-hand units to prevent such situations. Generally, in inventory control literature it can be found that lead time demand follows normal distribution and all other conclusions are derived from this assumption. However, in real life this does not have to be true, so it is of crucial importance to get better estimates of stochastic demand parameters over lead time. The objective of this research is to estimate the optimal (s, Q) continuous review inventory policy parameters that reduce risk of stock-out during lead time and to enhance robustness of such estimated parameters. This is done using approach we propose for demand modeling. Performances and adequacy of the proposed approach for lead time demand modeling, with various demand patterns, and its application in (s, Q) continuous inventory models are obtained by simulation and show very good results.

Black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa Elliot) is a deciduous fruit shrub from Rosaceae family that does not have a long cultivating tradition in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, the aim of this research was to determine the effect of variety, quantity and combination of fertilizers on characteristics of vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of black chokeberry of Nero cultivar, in agro - ecological conditions of the Una – Sana Canton (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The experimental site fertilized with the combination of mineral and organic nitrate fertilizers gave the best results in morphometric characteristics of fruit, yield and vegetative characteristics of growth. Fruits from the control site had the highest values when it comes to the most of the following characteristics: dry matter content, ash, total acidity, vitamin C and total phenolic content. Statistical analyses showed that factors of quantity and the manner of fertilization influence significantly most of examined parameters in this research (P ≤ 0.05).

Fifty samples were analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, out of which twenty samples of kidney tissue, twenty samples of liver tissue and ten samples of muscle tissue. Determined cadmium levels in cattle kidney varied between 0.088 and 4.493 mg/kg, while cadmium levels in liver were determined in the range from 0.016 to 0.206 mg/kg. The mean value of cadmium in kidney was 0.750 mg/kg, while the mean value of cadmium in liver was 0.076 mg/kg. Cadmium levels in muscle tissue were less than 0.008 mg/kg in all analysed samples. In three samples of kidney (15% of the analysed) cadmium levels exceeded maximum permitted level, while no such case was found for liver and muscle tissue. Estimated weekly intake of cadmium due to the consumption of cattle meat is 1.74 x 10 -3 m g/kg body weight. Weekly intake of cadmium by consuming cattle kidney is 9.08 x 10 -3 m g/kg body weight, whereas weekly intake of cadmium via cattle liver is 1.23 x 10 -3 m g/kg body weight. The intake of cadmium due to the consumption of cattle meat and offal in the examined population is within the tolerable weekly intake. Exposure to cadmium from cattle meat in the examined population does not pose a risk for health.

The sowing density of wheat is important for expression of number of spikes per unit area, grain yield as well as other yield components. The aim of this work is investigation of variability of grain yield and number of spikes per unit area influenced by different sowing densities under different environmental conditions. Three wheat genotypes NS 40, Prima and Nova Bosanka were studied at seven different sowing densities (384, 424, 451, 504, 544, 588 and 604 seeds m-2) with four replications on experimental plot of one m2 on field experiment in agro‒ecological conditions of Banja Luka during two successive growing seasons. In all studied wheat cultivars, the lowest number of spikes m-2 and the lowest grain yield were found on variant of lowest sowing density (384 seeds m-2), while the highest number of spikes m-2 and the highest grain yield were found on variant of 588 seeds m-2 in both years. The wheat genotype NS 40S had the highest number of spikes m-2, while Nova Bosanka had the lowest at all variants of sowing densities in both years. Mainly, at all variants of sowing densities, the highest values of analyzed traits were expressed in first year of experimental investigation. Depending of year and variant of sowing density the highest grain yield were found in NS 40 and Prima, while the lowest grain yield had Nova Bosanka in both years of experiment. In general, the recommended wheat sowing rates should be confirmed in the specific area of production and for the specific genotype.
