INTRODUCTION Influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus infection causes an epidemiologically and clinically severe disease mostly characterized by pneumonia, resulting in a high mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare epidemiological and clinical characteristics of influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus infection in patients hospitalized during the pandemic (2009/10) and post-pandemic seasons (2010/11). METHODOLOGY The data of patients with laboratory-confirmed influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus infection hospitalized and treated at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases Dr. Fran Mihaljevic in Zagreb, Croatia in the first two seasons of appearance were analyzed. RESULTS Compared to the pandemic season, in the post-pandemic season, patients were hospitalized longer, had higher values of inflammatory parameters, and were more often treated with antibiotics. The total number of risk factors in patients did not vary significantly between the two seasons. In the pandemic season, a significantly higher number of obese patients and patients with chronic lung disease was observed, whereas in the post-pandemic season, a statistically significant number of patients presented with symptoms of chronic cardiac and neuromuscular diseases. Primary viral pneumonia was frequently registered in younger adults during the pandemic season, whereas in the post-pandemic season, there were more cases of bacterial pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS During the pandemic season, the influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus infection caused a severe disease with rare bacterial complications, especially in adult patients. The common characteristics of the influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus were lost in the post-pandemic season, assuming the shape and characteristics of the seasonal influenza A virus.

The paper represents the first results of research conducted within the Urban and cultural identity and religiosity in contemporary context and surroundings project. This paper is the first part of the study, and special attention will be given to results of previous research and the extent to which new and alternative religions have previously been studied in Serbia. The methods, approaches, themes and attempts at defining the concept and classifying phenomena pertaining to new and alternative religions in Serbian academia will be considered.

The paper is based on field research on parents’ opinions and attitudes toward fairytales. The research was conducted in 2012, using a specially prepared questionnaire. The sample consisted of rural and urban parents of both sexes in Jagodina and Levca county. The paper represents an analysis of the opinions of parents on the pedagogical and psychological importance of the fairytale as a genre of folklore. The results show who tells fairytales to children today, and which traditional fairytales are favored by contemporary children and their parents. Empirical data provides us with a reliable answer to the question of what contemporary parents in Serbia think about whether “brutal” or “bloody” fairytales are harmful to children or not. The discovery of what parents think about why children like fairytales and what they can learn from the fantastic stories is especially important.
