RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar os fatores maternos e neonatais de recém-nascidos de mães adolescentes associados à reinternação hospitalar no período neonatal. Método: Estudo quantitativo transversal, retrospectivo e analítico, com 489 recém-nascidos de mães adolescentes, nascidos em 2019 e 2020 em um hospital público de alta complexidade, localizado na região Sul do Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de uma query e analisados no software SPSS utilizando os testes qui-quadrado ou exato de Fisher. Para controle de fatores confundidores, empregou-se o modelo multivariado de Regressão de Poisson. Resultados: A prevalência de reinternação hospitalar de recém-nascidos de mães adolescentes foi de 9,2%, principalmente por condições respiratórias, sendo o diagnóstico de bronquiolite aguda o mais prevalente, com 22,3%. Conclusão: A reinternação hospitalar neonatal esteve associada à prematuridade, ao Apgar 1º minuto <7 e à procedência da mãe.

Ovaj rad prikazuje tematiziranje ustaškog i četničkog pokreta u časopisu “Bosanski pogledi” u periodu od 1960. do 1967. godine. Časopis, čiji je glavni urednik bio Adil Zulfikarpašić, pruža značajan izvor informacija za proučavanje historijskih, socioloških i političkih aspekata. Kroz analizu različitih članaka autori istražuju percepciju i kritiku ustaškog i četničkog pokreta u Bosni i Hercegovini. Rad se fokusira na različite aspekte, uključujući ulogu Muslimana i njihovu saradnju s različitim pokretima, sukobe s drugim narodima i političke sukobe koji su prikazani unutar časopisa. Prikazuju se različiti stavovi i argumenti koje časopis donosi o ovim pokretima, ističući njihovu ulogu u Drugom svjetskom ratu i posljedice njihovih akcija. Kroz ovu analizu rad nastoji osvijetliti složenost i kontroverze povezane s temom, doprinoseći boljem razumijevanju balkanske historije i savremenih političkih odnosa.

This paper, based on the documentation from the database of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), is dedicated to the suffering of the "Banja Luka babies", one of the many cases of tragic childhood during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992. The case of the agony of new-borns in the Banja Luka Clinical-Medical Centre (CMC) caused controversy in the public. It is the subject of propaganda speculations and various political calculations that do not stop even with the act of presenting the medical documentation of the deceased newborns as exhibits for the defence during the trial of Radoslav Brđanin before the ICTY. Brđanin was found guilty and at the end of the trial sentenced to 30 years in prison for crimes against humanity, violations of laws and customs of war, and serious violations of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.

We present a resistance switching device that exhibits analogue potentiation and depression of conductance under the same voltage polarity. This contrasts with previously studied devices that potentiate and depress under opposite polarities. We refer to this mode of operation as the subthreshold regime due to it occurring at voltage or current biases that are insufficient to produce discrete or non-volatile switching. This behaviour has the potential to reduce the complexity of neuronal and synaptic circuitry in neuromorphic computing by removing the need for voltage pulses of both positive and negative polarities. The characteristically long timescales may also help replicate bio-realistic timings. In this article, we detail how to induce this unique behaviour, how to tune its properties to a desired response, and finally, we demonstrate one potential application.

Introduction/Objective. Nursing Activities Score (NAS) is one of the most accepted and widely used scores for assessing the workload of the nursing staff in regards of qualitative and quantitative adequacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate and analyze nursing workload in cardiac surgery intensive care unit (CSICU) using the NAS in a contemporary set of patients undergoing heart surgery. Methods. The study included 809 consecutive patients admitted to adult CSICU who had major cardiac surgery during the year of 2019. Demographic data were collected from medical records (gender, age, type of treatment, length of stay [LOS], and discharge), EuroSCORE II and NAS value. Results. The majority of patients underwent coronary (43.1%), valvular (32.6%) and combined (24.2%) cardiac surgery procedure. The average patient LOS in CSICU was 2.5 ? 3.4 days. The average NAS value in our sample was 100.8% ? 63.1%. NAS value during the first operative day was a poor marker of the outcome in terms of mortality (C-index 0.520, 95% CI - 0.422-0.617, p=0.676). Significant difference was observed in terms of average NAS value between the patients submitted to coronary surgery and combined surgery (p = 0.001). NAS has been shown to be useful for assessing activity in a CSICU, confirming the optimal workload of nurses, while higher NAS values in our hospital indicate increased workload compared to similar institutions. Conclusion. NAS provided viable information regarding the care and hospitalization of patients in a CSICU. In accordance to NAS, the optimal level of nursing workload was established in our hospital settings.

Background/Aim: Clinical research nursing is a well-known concept in Europe and other countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards clinical research and their opinions and self-evaluation about clinical research nursing and factors affecting them. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at the University Clinical Centre of the Republic of Srpska (UCCRS). A questionnaire included 50 questions/ statements was created in order to address the aims of the research and afterwards distributed to 120 nurses from 6 departments. Results: Response rate was 91.6 %. Most of the respondents showed a low level of knowledge, but positive attitude related to clinical research. Nurses who participated in clinical research were confident in their competencies according to their self-evaluation. Conclusion: Systematic approach to the additional nurses education could have a significant impact on a success of clinical research.

Introduction/Objective. Deprogramming of the neuromuscular system with the use of stabilization splint might provide more precise evaluation of the centric relation (CR) - maximum intercuspation (MI) discrepancy. The study aimed to evaluate the differences between the bite registrations obtained in the CR before and after the application of the stabilization splint therapy. Methods. The sample included 48 non-deprogrammed individuals without any apparent signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). The neuromuscular system was deprogrammed by employing stabilization splint therapy. A condylar displacement evaluation was performed on vertical, horizontal and transverse planes of space, with the assistance of a condylar position indicator (CPI). Results. The mean values of condylar displacements, which were obtained after the deprogramming of the neuromuscular system, were significantly greater than those obtained before neuromuscular deprogramming for vertical condylar displacement (p < .0001). A greater degree of condylar distraction was observed on the left side of the vertical plane before (p < .01) and after neuromuscular deprogramming (p < .05). The highest level of condylar displacement occurred in the postero-inferior direction subsequent to the muscle deprogramming. Conclusion. It was observed that the level of average condylar displacements was significantly higher following the deprogramming of the neuromuscular system compared to that recorded before neuromuscular deprogramming using stabilization splint therapy. A more precise orthodontic diagnosis could have been obtained if the condyles were placed in a more exact CR position by muscle deprogramming.

Background/Aim: The aim of the research is to assess the psychosocial impact of malocclusion, to determine the relationship with the degree of need for orthodontic treatment, and to assess the influence of gender on this relationship in adolescents. Material and Methods: A total of 100 subjects, aged 12 to 18, participated in the research. The subjects had no previous orthodontic treatment. The assessment of the need for orthodontic treatment was performed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), namely the Dental Health Component (DHC) and the Aesthetic Component (AC). The psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics was assessed using the PIDAQ questionnaire. Results: The total PIDAQ score, as well as its 4 subclasses, dental self-confidence, psychological impact, social impact and aesthetic concern have a positive correlation with the categories of the IOTN. The psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics is similar in boys and girls, except that girls showed a slightly greater aesthetic concern due to the presence of malocclusion. Conclusions: The present malocclusion has a psychological and social impact on the individual, but it also negatively affects his dental self-confidence and aesthetic concerns. The results of the PIDAQ questionnaire can guide the orthodontist to the patient's basic problem and thus provide guidelines for orthodontic treatment.
