This paper presents the realization of a smart home automation using Siemens PLCs. The smart home interface is realized using the HMI Weintek eMT3070a touchscreen, which shows the window for controlling and monitoring the lighting, room temperature, irrigation systems, swimming pool, etc. By using PLCs, the smart home can be controlled via Ethernet and it can be programmed to the needs of tenants.

The models of biological systems that we find on Earth can be the subject of research to develop a few mechatronic systems. Such models are offered by bees, ants, crows, cranes, etc. Article aims to investigate these models and their manifestations. Imitating this behavior and studied him offer ideas for develop models that can be integrated into mechatronic systems. They can be integrated into mechatronic system as algorithms for finding local optimum, to search, to detect an optimal way travel on a network, to find best decision, etc.

AIM To examine the presence of depressive symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis relapse and its relation to disability and relapse severity. METHODS This study included 120 patients who were assessed during the acute relapse of multiple sclerosis according to Mc Donald criteria. Depression was assessed using Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) calculating both affective and somatic symptom scores. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) measured disability. Relapse severity was graded according to the difference between the EDSS score during relapse and EDSS score before the onset of the attack as mild, moderate or severe. RESULTS There was statistically significant difference between patients with different level of depression considering age (p<0.001), disability (p<0.001), relapse severity (p=0.005) and disease duration (p=0.032). Significant moderate positive correlation of depression with age (rho=0.43) and disability (rho=0.46) was confirmed. There was moderate correlation between disability and somatic symptoms of depression (rho=0.54, p<0.001) with only weak correlation between disability and affective symptoms of depression (rho=0.31, p<0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that patient's age and relapse severity (p<0.05) were independently related to depression in these patients while disability did not. CONCLUSION Correlation between disability and depression was mostly due to somatic symptoms of depression. Although highly correlated, depression during multiple sclerosis relapse was not independently predicted by disability. Depression should be recognized and treated independently from disability treatment, especially in the group of older patients with more severe relapse.

Introduction: Meningiomas are slow-growing benign tumors that arise at any location where arachnoid cells reside. Although meningiomas account for a sizable proportion of all primary intracranial neoplasms (14.3–19%), only 1.8 to 3.2% arise at the foramen magnum. Their indolent development at the craniocervical junction makes clinical diagnosis complex and often leads to a long interval between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. Case report: We report a case of a 79-year-old male patient, presented with ataxia and sense of threatening fainting during verticalization. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of meningioma in the right side of craniospinal junction.

We present a complete local dynamics and investigate the global dynamics of the following second‐order difference equation: xn+1=Axn2+Exn-1+F/axn2+exn-1+f,  n=0,12,,… , where the parameters A, E, F, a, e, and f are nonnegative numbers with condition A + E + F > 0, a + e + f > 0, and the initial conditions x−1, x0 are arbitrary nonnegative numbers such that axn2+exn-1+f>00,12,  n=,,….

Aim: The aims of this study were to compare ultrasound fetoplacental parameters and to calculate Hepato-Cephalic Index (HCI) as a new predictor of IUGR. Methods and material: A clinical prospective study was conducted and included 120 pregnant women divided in two groups: non IUGR group included healthy pregnant women (n=60) and IUGR group included pregnant women with preeclampsia and IUGR (n=60). Outcome measures were following ultrasound fetoplacental parameters in fetuses with IUGR and non IUGR: Fetal Liver Length (FLL), Femur Length (FL), Biparietal Diameter (BPD), Placental Maturation by Grannum, Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) and Hepato-Cephalic Index (HCI). Sonography was carried out by probe 3.5 Mhz type MINDRAY DC 7. Results: The mean of maternal age was 30.0±6.1 years in women with preeclampsia and IUGR and 28.1±5.1 years in healthy pregnant women, p > 0.05. There was a statistically significant difference in values of: FLL (p < 0.001), FL (p = 0.004), BPD (p < 0.001), AFI (p < 0.001), HCI (p < 0.001) between IUGR and non IUGR groups. The most of women with preeclampsia and IUGR had grade III of placental maturation (48.3%). There is a significant association between the placental maturation and the diagnosis, p < 0.001. There was a statistically significant difference in body mass of newborns between IUGR and non IUGR groups, p < 0.001. Conclusion: In a fetus with IUGR in preeclampsia there is a reduction in FLL, FL, BPD, AFI and HCI and there is a early maturation of the placenta. By measurement of fetoplacental ultrasonic parameters of liver, pregnant women will experience prediction of risk pregnancy (preeclampsia with IUGR) due to hypoxia.

AIM To evaluate efficacy and safety of iris-supported phakic lenses (Verisyse) for treating moderately high myopia. METHODS This prospective clinical study included 40 eyes from 29 patients, who underwent implantation of Verisyse for correction of myopia from -6.00 to -14.50 diopters (D) in the Eye Clinic ''Svjetlost'', Sarajevo, from January 2011 to January 2014. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest residual spherical equivalent(MRSE), postoperative astigmatism, intraocular pressure(IOP), endothelial cell (EC) density were evaluated at one, three, six and twelve months. Corrected visual acuity (CDVA), index of safety and efficacy were evaluated after 12 months. RESULTS Out of 29 patients 15 were males and 14 females, with mean age of 27.9 ± 5.0. After 12 months 77.5% eyes had UDVA ≥ 0.5 and 32.5% had UDVA ≥ 0.8. Mean MRSE was 0.55D ±0.57D and mean postoperative astigmatism -0.86D ± 0.47D. Efficacy index was 1.09 ± 0.19 and safety index 1.18 ± 0.21. One eye(2.5%) lost two Snellen lines and three eyes (7.5%) one line, 11 eyes (27.5%) gained one line, and five eyes (15.5%) gained two lines. EC loss after 12 months was 7.59 ± 3.05%. There was no significant change of IOP after one year follow up. CONCLUSION Implantation of iris-supported phakic lenses (Verisyse) for treating moderately high myopia is an efficient and safe procedure.
