Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) worldwide. HPV is a small, double-stranded DNA virus that infects mucosal and coetaneous epithelia trough tiny cuts and abrasion, exposed by the cells of the basal layer. If diagnosed on time HPV can be successfully treated, however, in some cases it can lead to the development of tumor. Most of cervical tumors contain HPV DNA, and majority of them contain high-risk types HPV16 and HPV18. Different risk factors are associated with HPV infection, including behavioral and biological predispositions. Aim of this study is to genotype potentially infected patients on high-risk types HPV DNA and to correlate the results with patient’s different biological and lifestyle factors. For this purpose 20 gynecological smear samples were collected from women, previously subjected to the survey. Methodology included DNA extraction and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results showed that out of 20 patients five were positive for high risk HPV. Four of five positive patients were positive on HPV16 type of which one had HPV16 together with others high risk types. One of five positive patients was positive on HPV18 type and other high risk types not identified. Final outcome indicates the correlation of potentially endangered patients with specific sexual behavior and lifestyles, and furthermore represent the general consensus and awareness level this disease has on the

BACKGROUND/AIM Studies on physicians and other health care professionals indicate that attitudes towards and beliefs in their work with patients, can affect the quality of health care, and patients' behaviour and compliance, thus an instrument is needed to survey pharmacists as healthcare providers. The aim of this study was to describe the development and psychometric validation of a survey instrument to assess attitudes and beliefs of pharmacists toward their work with patients (Pharmacists' Attitudes and Beliefs Scale, PABS). The aim of this research was to determine the reliability, validity and factor structure of a newly constructed instrument - PABS. METHODS The statements from the cognitive, affective, and behavioral areas were identified by literature review and selected to cover the behavior of pharmacists in providing pharmaceutical care at community settings. The initial 5-point Likert type scale of 30 items was constructed and after initial validation its revised form developed. The reliability, construct validity and factor structure of the scale were established. RESULTS The reliability of the scale was determined by the method of internal consistency, on a convenient sample of 123 community pharmacists. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.67. Factor analysis of principal components was performed and 7 factors with latent roots greater than 1 were extracted, explaining 64.92% of total variance, a single 30.84%, 8.20%, 6.55%, 5.63%00, 5.01%, 4.68% and 4.01%. Based on the results of factor analysis in the development of the scale, some items in the scale were excluded (totally 7), so that the revised form of the PABS contained a total of 23 items. CONCLUSION The initial PABS scale did not meet theoretical statistical criteria for reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient was < 0.7), but the findings indicated its potentially acceptable construct validity. The results support its use as a research tool to assess the behavior of pharmacists in daily practice, and provide its use as an indicator of quality in delivering pharmaceutical care.

Quality is assessed on the basis of adequate evidence, while best results of the research are accomplished through scientific knowledge. Information contained in a scientific work must always be based on scientific evidence. Guidelines for genuine scientific research should be designed based on real results. Dynamic research and use correct methods of scientific work must originate from everyday practice and the fundamentals of the research. The original work should have the proper data sources with clearly defined research goals, methods of operation which are acceptable for questions included in the study. When selecting the methods it is necessary to obtain the consent of the patients/respondents to provide data for execution of the project or so called informed consent. Only by the own efforts can be reached true results, from which can be drawn conclusions and which finally can give a valid scholarly commentary. Text may be copied from other sources, either in whole or in part and marked as a result of the other studies. For high-quality scientific work necessary are expertise and relevant scientific literature, mostly taken from publications that are stored in biomedical databases. These are scientific, professional and review articles, case reports of disease in physician practices, but the knowledge can also be acquired on scientific and expert lectures by renowned scientists. Form of text publications must meet standards on writing a paper. If the article has already been published in a scientific journal, the same article cannot be published in any other journal with a few minor adjustments, or without specifying the parts of the first article which is used in another article. Copyright infringement occurs when the author of a new article, with or without mentioning the author, uses a substantial portion of previously published articles, including past contributions in the first article. With the permission of the publisher and the author, another journal can re-publish the article already published. In that case, that is not plagiarism, because the journal states that the article was re-published with the permission of the journal in which the article is primarily released. The original can be only one, and the copy is a copy, and plagiarism is stolen copy. The aim of combating plagiarism is to improve the quality, to achieve satisfactory results and to compare the results of their own research, rather than copying the data from the results of other people's research. Copy leads to incorrect results. Nowadays the problem of plagiarism has become huge, or widespread and present in almost all spheres of human activity, particularly in science. Scientific institutions and universities should have a center for surveillance, security, promotion and development of quality research. Establishment of rules and respect the rules of good practice are the obligations of each research institutions, universities and every individual researchers, regardless of which area of science is being investigated. There are misunderstandings and doubts about the criteria and standards for when and how to declare someone a plagiarist. European and World Association of Science Editors (EASE and WAME), and COPE - Committee on Publishing Ethics working on the precise definition of that institution or that the scientific committee may sanction when someone is proven plagiarism and familiarize the authors with the types of sanctions. The practice is to inform the editors about discovered plagiarism and articles are withdrawn from the database, while the authors are put on the so-called black list. So far this is the only way of preventing plagiarism, because there are no other sanctions.

Abstract: In the first quarter of 2012, almost all of the observed indexes in regional capital markets registered an increase in value, except for the capital market in BH, i.e. index of the Sarajevo Stock Exchange (SASX - 10) and Banja Luka Stock Exchange securities (BIRS). Therefore, the highest growth was achieved by the Serbian regional index (BELEX 15) in the amount of 6.59%, followed by Croatian (CROBEX) with 5.36%, Macedonian (MBI-10) with 2.56%, Montenegrin (MONEX) with an increase of 2.17% and Slovenian (SBI TOP) with the yield of 1.64 %. The largest decline in the value was registered by the Banja Luka index (BIRS) of 4.69 % and Sarajevo (SASX -10) for 3.57%. In this paper, we analyse the effect of four independent variables through multiple linear regression on a dependent variable. The dependent variable is the stock market index of the Sarajevo Stock Exchange (SASX - 30), while the independent variables in the model are the total turnover of shares, total loans of commercial banks, market capitalization and stock exchange index of the New York Stock Exchange (S&P 500). The main objective of this paper is to determine whether there is interdependence in the movement between the independent and dependent variables in order to better understand the factors that influence the movement of the SASX – 30 stock index.
