This study aimed to examine radiographs of Thoroughbred horse and compare radiometric and geometrical features between male and female individuals. To this end, dorso-palmar images of the carpal joint of 34 (17 female, 17 male) clinically healthy two-year-old Thoroughbred horses were analyzed. In total, 15 lengths and two angles were analyzed radiometrically, while geometric morphometrics was applied on 20 landmarks. In 7 radiometric measurements, the difference between female and male individuals was found to be statistically significant. All length measurements of males were found to be higher than of females. The statistically most important difference between the sexes was the measurement of the greatest breadth of proximal end of basis metacarpalia II-III-IV (p <0.001). There was no difference between the sexes for angle values. It was seen that the geometric morphometric analysis made with the Landmarks used in the study was not determinative between males and females. Thanks to the developing technology, the number of three-dimensional modeling technique and radiometric measurement studies is also increasing. In this study, the differences between the sexes were revealed using radiographs of horses of the same age, and obtained values will be the references for future radiometric and clinical studies.

In an immense market struggle, the only effective way to build a long-term competitive advantage is to provide a high level of quality. Offering quality to the market, the organization creates loyal consumers on the basis of which it achieves its profitability, growth and development. The research presented in this paper is aimed at determination of the impact of quality on improving business performance and customer satisfaction. Correlation analysis confirmed this influence on the basis of obtained statistically significant mutual relations between the analyzed variables. Quality was shown to have an impact on improving the business performance of the organization, primarily on profitability through the improvement of leadership and relationship management. The impact of quality on customer satisfaction was also confirmed, where the engagement of people and the management of mutual relations had the greatest impact on consumer confidence. The research confirmed that the training of employees in terms of quality had a statistically significant impact on improving customer satisfaction, if it is conducted in an efficient manner.

From ancient times the natural plant Cornelian cherry is used for various purposes. The healing properties of Cornelian cherry suit the human body and give it the necessary vitamins, acids, and everything else it needs for the body to function normally and healthily. Due to its antioxidant, antiallergic, antimicrobial, and antihistamine properties, it is increasingly used as a dietary supplement, as well as for medical and pharmaceutical purposes. In addition to the fruit of the Cornelian cherry, in the past, the oil of Cornelian cherry seeds was used, the content of which can be up to 30%. However, the data available in the literature are scanty and do not show true values because the oil content depends on many factors, such as the geographical origin of the Cornelian cherry, the harvest period, varieties, etc., which also affects the oil content in the seeds. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the average oil content of Cornelian cherry seeds, and to determine the obtained oil physico-chemical parameters that show the quality of the oil, namely oil viscosity, iodine value, peroxide value, acid value, and saponification value. Based on the obtained results, more information is clearly given about the quality of the obtained oil, as well as its use in the production of cosmetic preparations. Based on the conducted analyzes, it was shown that the oil obtained from the Cornelian cherry seeds was high quality, and that it was analyzed in its fatty acid composition similar to other vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, pumpkin oil, corn oil. The low of the peroxide value showed that the oil used has good resistance to oxidative spoilage, which is attributed to the composition of fatty acids and the presence of oil components that have a pronounced antioxidant effect, while the iodine value indicates that it is oil rich in saturated fatty acids such as palmitic, stearic and arachid, etc. where genotype plays an important role. The saponification value showed that these are fatty acids present in the triacylglycerols of this oil, which are low molecular weight, ie there are fewer of those with a larger number of C atoms. All obtained values ​​of the analyzed physical and chemical parameters are in accordance with the requirements imposed by the Regulations on edible vegetable oils (Official Gazette of the Federation Bosnia and Herzegovina No.21/11.), and as such can be used for cosmetic purposes.

To date, the prevalence of CHD worldwide is ∼9 per 1000 newborns, with substantial geographic variation. The latest knowledge in the world for the last 50 years about their origin, diagnosis and therapy has contributed to their care. Since adult patients with CHD now present increasing numbers at advanced ages, including the elderly, the term grown-up CHD no longer appears appropriate and was therefore replaced with adult CHD (ACHD) according to the ESC guidelines published in 2020 year. Due to medical, surgical, and technological evolutions over the past decades, >90% of individuals who are born with CHD now survive into adulthood. ACHD represent a challenge for clinicians. Despite optimal medical and surgical treatment, many will experience a progressive decline in cardiopulmonary function leading to advanced heart failure. Severe ventricular dysfunction and/or pulmonary hypertension may not be amenable to corrective repair. Their early recognition and follow-up in adolescence will contribute to better care for these patients. Importantly, the care for ACHD patients is a lifelong process and requires advance care planning strategies.

The authors present the life and work of prof. dr. Radoslav Živić - Rade who will be remembered as an exceptional pediatrician, professor of lofty pride and morals and a writer who occupies a special place in the contemporary Serbian narrative milieu in which it is difficult to find a prose writer and sensitivity to the meaning of words and the ability to visualize and fruitful grafting in the literary art of Serbia.

Radiological examination methods in the diagnosis of kidney disease, thanks to their objectivity and their capabilities, have taken their place in the diagnosis of urosystems and kidney disease. Radiological methods of examination in the diagnosis of the kidney are numerous and diverse. They are sovereign, dominant and unrivaled. However, the dangers that lurk and threaten in their application, especially ionization and complications from iodine contrast agents, indicate and say that they should be used in strict indications, with well-educated staff and with full protection measures. The aim of this paper is to show and point out the number, variety, advantages and disadvantages of radiological methods of examination in kidney diagnostics. The material and method of work is the experience gained in the profession based on urographic examinations and other radiological methods of examination of the urogenital system, primarily in 18,000 IVUs performed in the period 1994-2021. at the Center for Radiology of the University Medical Center Nis and numerous literal announcements of authors and co-authors written in domestic and foreign journals. The results of the work are shown illustratively, with pictures - nephrocalcinosis, renal cyst, pheochromocytoma, VUR V 0 , kidney tumor, color doppler of the renal artery, a series of native and contrast spiral CT tomograms of the kidney. The development of radiological techniques in recent decades has enriched radiological diagnostics with new diagnostic possibilities. Therefore, we received new radiological images, in which our results are compatible with numerous literal world releases. In conclusion, the authors point out that radiological methods in the diagnosis of kidneys are indispensable and, among other methods of examination, indispensable.
