Introduction: Approximately only 20-40% of those who suffer from nonmicrocellular lung cancer at detection of disease are candidates for operational treatment. Pre-operational use of inductive oncological therapy at 6075% of cases “takes” the disease into lower level, while at 50% of cases it is possible to do resectional treatment. The aim of work is to demonstrate efficiency of inductive oncological treatment in relation to possibility of resection. Material and methods: This analysis includes 62 patients who underwent different surgical treatment, and after inductive oncological treatment. Results: There is a ignificant statistical difference in frequency of appearance between the two most common sorts of cancer (χ2=25; p=0), the same as statistically significant difference in frequency of certain sorts of cancer according to gender (p= 0). Using Fisher exact test, there was no statistically defined significant dependence between the sort of cancer and its sensitivity to chemotherapy (p=0,2) the same as there was not statistical dependency of chemo therapeutical sensitivity in relation to gender (p=1). Using chi-square test, there was no defined statistically significant difference in frequency of sort of operation in relation to sort of cancer (χ2=1; p=0,6). There is a presence of statistically significant positive connection between the days spent at intensive care and days spent at the ward of surgically treated patients (rho =0,63; p< 0,01) and also there is statistically significant dependence between the response to chemo therapy and days spent at intensive care (p=0). There is also defined statistically significant dependency between the sort of operational treatment and days spent at intensive care and at ward of standard care (χ2=17; p=0 vs. χ2=11; p=0). Conclusion: There is an evident relation of sort of surgical treatment and operational techniques to duration of post operational treatment.

Koronarna srcana bolest (KSB) cesto se javlja u odrasloj populaciji. Osim sto predstavlja životno ugrožavajucu bolest, ona cesto nosi i rizik od razvoja stanja kao sto su kserostomija i stomatopiroza ; kserostomija uz to predstavlja i faktor rizika za naseljavanje gljive Candida albicans. Cilj ovog istraživanja bilo je utvrditi incidenciju kserostomije, stomatopiroze i infekcije Candidom albicans u skupini oboljelih od KSB, te rezultate usporediti sa zdravim kontrolama. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od ukupno 292 pacijenta, 149 kontrola i 143 ispitanika u testnoj skupini. Procjenjivala se kolicina izlucene sline (stimulirane i nestimulirane), prisutnost stomatopiroze, te stupanj infekcije Candidom albicans, a dobiveni su i podaci o uzimanju lijekova. Kserostomija i stomatopiroza znacajno su se cesce javljale u skupini oboljelih, a njihova je incidencija bila vrlo visoka ; također u istoj skupini cesce su bile i infekcije Candidom albicans, no bez statisticke znacajnosti. Infekcija Candidom albicans bila je u skupini oboljelih od KSB znacajno povezana sa kserostomijom. Uzimanje određenih lijekova može objasniti pojavu kserostomije i stomatopiroze, ali samo u određenom postotku slucajeva. U svakodnevnoj praksi neophodno je uputiti pacijente i njihove lijecnike na mogucnosti dijagnoze i lijecenja navedenih patoloskih stanja.

This chapter describes the development of voltage control system of a synchronous generator based on neural networks. Recurrent (dynamic) neural networks are used, as a type that has great capabilities in approximation of dynamic systems. Two algorithms are used for training – Dual Heuristic Programming (DHP) and Globalized Dual Heuristic Programming (GDHP). The algorithms have been developed for the optimal control of nonlinear systems using dynamic programming principles.

Cilj: Mnoga objavljena istraživanja su dokazala umjerenu povezanost između pretilosti i parodontitisa. No, vecina ih je ukljucivala dijabeticare i pusace, te nijedna nije provedena na podrucju istocne Europe. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je procijeniti povezanost između pretilosti i parodontitisa na uzorku pacijenata bez dijabetesa te nepusaca starosti 31-75 godina. Studija je bila presjecna. Metode: Ukupno je regrutirano 320 pacijenata Klinike za dentalnu medicinu Klinickog bolnickog centra Rijeka. Potpuni parodontni status uzet je za 292 osobe ; parodontitis je kategoriziran kao pocetni, umjereni i uznapredovali. Za svakog pacijenta su zabilježeni dob i spol, visina, težina, te razina obrazovanja. Parodontitis je bio uzet kao nezavisna varijabla dok je indeks tjelesne mase (engl. bodymassindex, BMI) bio zavisna varijabla. Rezultati: Parodontitis nije znacajno korelirao s BMI. No, analizom logisticke regresije dokazano je da pretile žene nižeg stupnja obrazovanja starosti 36-55 godina imaju 5-6 puta veci rizik od razvoja teskih oblika parodontalne bolesti. Zakljucak: Pretilost i parodontitis mogu biti povezani, i to u skupini slabo obrazovanih žena od 36 do 55 godina starosti. Istraživanje je provedeno u sklopu projekta financiarnog od strane Ministarstva znanosti, obrzovanja i sporta RH „Bioloski ucinci stomatoloskih materijala” broj 062-0650444-0442.

Cilj: Izmjeriti razliku elektricnog potencijala i pH u usnoj supljini pacijenata s erozivnim i neerozivnim oralnim lihen planusom (OLP) koji istovremeno u ustima imaju vise razlicitih dentalnih legura. Metode: U studiji je sudjelovalo 10 pacijenata s erozivnim OLP-om, 22 pacijenta s neerozivnim OLP-om i 29 kontrolnih ispitanika bez OLP-a. Svi ispitanici u usnoj supljini trebali su imati najmanje 2 razlicite legure – minimalno jedan amalgamski ispun i neku drugu dentalnu leguru. Razlika elektricnog potencijala mjerena je uporabom kompjutorski kontroliranog milivoltmetra, a pH sline uporabom pH indikatorskih papirica. Rezultati: Razlika elektricnog potencijala u pacijenata s erozivnim OLP-om iznosila je 120 (45 – 275) mV, u pacijenata s neerozivnim OLP- om 153 (45 – 230) mV, a u kontrolnih ispitanika 140 (45 – 265) mV. Kruskal-Wallisovim testom nije utvrđena statisticki znacajna razlika između skupina u razlici elektricnog potencijala (P = 0, 689). Između skupina nije utvrđena znacajna razlika u pH sline (P = 0, 322). Rasprava i zakljucak: Vrijednosti razlike elektricnog potencijala i pH sline u pacijenata s erozivnim i neerozivnim oblikom OLP-a ne razlikuju se od pacijenata koji ne boluju od OLP-a, sto sugerira da kod OLP-a nije potrebna zamjena amalgama.

Disappearance of old cultivars, including dry and snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has been accelerated in last five to six decades, which mainly led to great genetic impoverishment. For all the humanity and its future, particularly is important the maintenance and evaluation of old cultivar’s seeds. The research presented in this paper has been conducted on the territory of southwestern Fruska gora Mt. Of the collected samples of field and vegetables crops, as well as wild plants on the mountain, 13 accessions of snap bean and 21 accessions of dry bean have been analyzed in this paper. Seed color, seed shape, 1000-seed mass and phaseolin type was determined for all the accessions. Seeds of collected bean and snap bean accessions were predominantly white and cylindrical in shape. Mass of 1000 seeds ranged between 104,90 g and 634,96 g. T phaseolin type dominated, while S type of phaseolin was present in six bean and in two snap bean accessions.

Uvod. Rezultati istraživanja uloge i znacaja porodice i bracnog statusa kao protektivnih faktora u odnosu na suicidalnost muskaraca i žena pokazuju da je stopa suicida visa kod razvedenih i udovaca te da je posebno niska kod osoba koje su u braku i imaju djecu. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se ispita povezanost između porodicnih i partnerskih odnosa i prisutnost suicidalnih misli kod osoba razlicitog bracnog statusa. Metode. Uzorak je cinilo 100 muskaraca i žena iz opste populacije, starosti između 18 i 40 godina. Primjenjen je upitnik sociodemografskih podataka, Skala okupljenosti porodice urbane sredine (SOPUS), Skala zadovoljstva seksualnom komunikacijom (SCS) te Skala pozitivnih i negativnih suicidalnih ideja (PANSI). Rezultati. Rezultati pokazuju postojanje znacajne negativne povezanosti između suicidalnih misli i okupljenosti porodice, odnosno zadovoljstva intimnom komunikacijom. Između žena i muskaraca ne postoje znacajne razlike u prisutnosti suicidalnih misli. Prisutnost suicidalnih misli u ovom uzorku bila je najvisa kod slobodnih, a najniža kod razvedenih, ali te razlike nisu statisticki znacajne. Zakljucak. Rezultati potvrđuju znacaj kvaliteta i kvantiteta porodicnih i partnerskih odnosa za zastitu mentalnog zdravlja pojedinca, pri cemu se protektivna uloga ovih odnosa posebno treba isticati i razvijati kod pojave i prisutnosti suicidalnih misli. Neslaganje dobijenih rezultata sa ranijim nalazima istraživanja o povezanosti bracnog statusa i stope suicida ukazuje na potrebu za daljim proucavanjem porodice i bracnih veza i njihove uloge u suicidalnosti.

Tuzla Canton (TC) has experienced a certain economic transformation and gradually started turning from an industrial region into a region of tertiary and quaternary activities, also notable in the strategic documents of the Canton. The present research was conducted during the years 2012 and 2013 with the aim of determining the attitudes of employees in the tourism sector of TC regarding the condition, i.e. the prospects of TC tourism. In July of 2012, using a structured questionnaire, persons employed in travel agencies and TC hotels were surveyed in relation to the following issues: what is, in their own opinion, the determining factor for a tourist in choosing a tour package in TC as a destination; how would they assess the tourist’s motives for choosing TC as a destination; how would they characterize (assess) the value factors of the TC tourist offer. The conducted research indicates that employees in the tourism industry have formed perceptions of TC as a tourist destination: it is a destination where tourists feel pleasant and happy to stay at; it has outstanding natural attractions, a welcoming environment and solid accommodation and catering potentials. However, elements that need improving and further development are highlighted as well. Methods used for collecting, processing and analyzing data are: historical, descriptive, comparative. Frequency analysis was conducted using the SPSS statistical program (version 20). The research results can help the tourist destination management, in this case TC, but also all segments of the tourism industry of TC, improve their offer and communication with a potential tourism market.
