Correlation Between Hormonal and Lipid Status in Women in Menopause
Authors: Mešalić Lejla , Tupković Emir , Kendić Sulejman , Balić Devleta
Published: May 2018

It is widely accepted that menopause leads to changes in hormonal status, metabolism and lipid profile. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of menopause on the concentrations of lipids, lipoproteins and, the influence of estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH on lipid profile in menopausal women as well. The menopausal women had higher but non-significant (p>0,05) concentrations of total cholesterol, VLDL, LDL, and triglycerides than women with regular menstruation. The concentration of HDL was significantly lower in menopausal women than in women with regular menstruation (p<0,05). Also, the concentration of apolipoprotein B was significantly higher in menopausal women (p<0,05), but the concentrations of apolipoprotein and lipoprotein (a) were lower but without significance (p>0,05). Estrogen concentration has significant negative correlation with VLDL and triglycerides (p<0,05) and significant positive correlation with HDL (p<0,05) in menopausal women. Progesterone concentration has shown no correlation with concentrations of lipids and lipoproteins in menopause. We can conclude that menopause leads to changes in lipid profile by reducing HDL, and elevating apolipoprotein B levels, thus increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease. These changes were caused by reduction of estrogen concentrations in menopause.

The purpose of this work is to analyze the frequency of depression and anxiety and children behaviour in families whose heads of the family (father) suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study was conducted from September 2005 until July 2006, with patients living in Mostar. The frequency of depression and anxiety in family members older than 18 years, and changes of the behaviour in children younger than 18 years of age were measured. The data were collected from 60 men and their families who had been diagnosed with PTSD by their psychiatrist. The control group was formed using matching criteria (age of the head of the family, his education, religion, family income and number of children). In this study, three questionnaires were used: one specially designed for this study, covering general information about family members, and a personal opinion of each family member about the family situation and relations within the family; Hopkins symptoms checklist - 25 (HSCL-25) for evaluation of depression and anxiety for subjects older than 18; and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) for children 5 to 18 years of age, which was completed by their mothers.More wives from the PTSD families had depression than wives from the controlled group (χ2=21,099; df=1; P<0,050). There was no difference between groups in frequency of depression and anxiety (χ2=0,003; df=1; P=0,959) for children older than 18 years. No difference in answers between groups of children younger than 18 years were found in the General Health Questionnaire. However, we found significant differences in separate questions. Mothers, who filled the questionnaire form, reported that children from fathers who had PTSD experienced stomach pain more often (χ2=10,474;df=2; P=0,005), eating problems (χ2=14,204;df=2; P=0,001) and breathing problems (χ2=9,748;df=2; P=0,008), than children from fathers who did not have PTSD. Children from fathers with PTSD were more easily upset (χ2=7,586; df=2; P=0,023) and worried more often (χ2=12,093; df=2; P=0,002), they were also more aggressive towards other children (χ2=6,156; df=1; P=0,013). The controlled group of children who wanted to help with the house work was larger than the tested group (χ2=10,383; df=2; P=0,006). More children from the controlled group missed school than from the other group of surveyed children (χ2=6,056; df=2; P=0,048).A significantly larger number of women, whose husbands had PTSD, were depressed, unlike women whose husbands were not ill. There was no significant difference in depression manifestation in a group of children older than 18, as well as in behaviour of a group of children younger than 18, but significant differences in some provided answers were found, that indicate the differences between controlled and tested groups.

Published: May 2018

The aim of this study was to clarify the role of simultaneous combined diagnostic approach using laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in the evaluation of female infertility.In a retrospective study, 360 infertile women underwent complete fertility evaluation. All the patients were examined by simultaneous combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy as a part of the routine infertility evaluation.Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy were successful in 360 patients. Bilateral tubes were blocked in 18 (5%) and unilateral tubal occlusion were in 30 (8,33%) of patients. Pelvic adhesions were revealed in 40 (11,11%), and myomas in 42 (11,65%) out of that 31 (8,6%) were revealed by laparoscopy and 11 (3,05%) by hysteroscopy. Endometrial polyps were revealed in 26 (7,22%) and Syndrome Asherman in 3(0,83%) of patients. Uterine anomaly was found in 19 (5,27%) of cases and out of that septate uterus in 7 (37,15%), bicornuate uterus in 5 (26,31%), arcuate uterus in 4 (21,26%) and uterus unicornu cum cornu rudimentario in 3 (15,27%) of uterine anomalies. Endometriosis was found in 51 (14,16%), dermoid cysts in 8 (2,22%) and in 16 (4,44%) functional cysts of patients. Also, Fitz-Hugh- Curtis syndrome was revealed in 23 (6,11%) of our patients.Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy play very important role as diagnostic tools in the infertility women. Combined diagnostic simultaneous laparoscopy and hysteroscopy should be performed in all infertile patients before the treatment.
More than Ten Years of DOTS in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Published: May 2018

Directly Observed Therapy Short-course (DOTS) is composed of five distinct elements: political commitment, case detection through quality-assured bacteriology; drug supplies; surveillance and monitoring systems and use of highly efficacious regimens; and direct observation of treatment.DOTS produces cure rates of up to 95 percent even in the poorest countries and prevents the development of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.National TB Programme (NTP) has been started to introduce in 1994 according to DOTS principles in B&H with central and regional levels. At central levels there are national TB coordinators, and in all Cantons/Regions there are regional TB Coordinators. During intensive phase of therapy, patients are hospitalized. In the second phase of therapy, patients are treated in anti-tuberculosis dispensaries and some of them by a responsible member of the family (family supervision).There are several weaknesses in implementation of DOTS in B&H: TB case detection was not fully implemented in all medical services. Registration of TB cases in some facilities, there is no official central recommended registry, individual reporting for treatment outcomes and establishing a reliable monitoring and evaluation system.Application for 6 round of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GFATM) had been finally approved and signed for B&H in October 2007. These grants would repair some implementation gaps and improve DOTS strategy in B&H.DOTS - Directly Observed Therapy Short-course, usual standard abbreviation for TB strategy all over the world.
Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy
Authors: Vobornik Dušan , Vobornik Slavenka
Published: May 2018

An average human eye can see details down to 0,07 mm in size. The ability to see smaller details of the matter is correlated with the development of the science and the comprehension of the nature. Today’s science needs eyes for the nano-world. Examples are easily found in biology and medical sciences. There is a great need to determine shape, size, chemical composition, molecular structure and dynamic properties of nano-structures. To do this, microscopes with high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution are required. Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) is a new step in the evolution of microscopy. The conventional, lens-based microscopes have their resolution limited by diffraction. SNOM is not subject to this limitation and can offer up to 70 times better resolution.

Published: May 2018

The aim of this study was to analyze: frequency of balance disorder (vertigo and disequilibrium), frequency of abnormalities in auditory evoked potentials (AEP) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes of the brain in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with balance disorder, relation of patients disability status to balance disorder and relation of the changes in MRI of the brainstem to AEP abnormalities. It was analyzed 60 patients with relapsing-remitting form of MS. Two groups of patients were made consecutively under Expanded Disability Status Scale score (EDSS): A (EDSS <4,5) and B (EDSS >5,0). The study was retrospective-prospective. After the neurological exam AEP and MRI of the brain have been done. Balance disorder has been verified as initial symptom in 29 (48,4%) and out of them disequilibrium experienced 24 (83,4%) patients. During the relapses balance disorder experienced 48 (80%) patients and in 37 (77,1%) it was disequilibrium. Among them 33 (68,7%) were with lower EDSS (<4,5) and 15 (31,3%) with higher EDSS score (>5). There is no correlation between disability status and vertigo which means that vertigo is not more frequent in more disabled patients and vice-versa. The AEP were pathological in 57 (95%) patients. Of all 29 patients with vertigo AEP were pathological in 28 (96,5%) while in 31 patients without vertigo pathological AEP were in 29 (93,5%) but it is not statistical significant. The most frequent characteristic of AEP changes were prolonged inter-peak latency III-V waves (48 patients or 80%). The plaque in brainstem visualized by MRI was found in 41 (71,8%) of patients (38 or 92,6% of them had pathological AEP and in three patients AEP were normal). In group of patients with pathological AEP, 38 (66,6%) of them had plaque in brainstem. In other three patients with normal AEP it was visualized plaque in brainstem. In the group of 29 patients with balance disorder, 20 (68,9%) had plaque in brainstem as well as 21 (67,7%) out of 31 patients without balance disorder had plaque in the brainstem. This difference is not statistical significant. It is concluded that the vertigo (including disequilibrium) is relatively often (48,4%) initial symptom of MS. Vertigo is not more frequent in patients with higher EDSS score and vice-versa. Pathological AEP are frequent neurophysiologic finding in both (95%) patients with (96,5%) and without (93,5%) vertigo. The most often pathological characteristic of AEP are prolonged interpeak latency of III-V waves (78,5%), as well as abnormalities of V and than IV wave. MS plaques in brainstem visualized by MRI technique are frequent in both groups of patients with and without pathological finding of the AEP.
Stability of Cefuroxime Axetil Oral Suspension at Different Temperature Storage Conditions
Authors: Uzunović Alija , Vranić Edina
Published: May 2018

Stability testing of an active substance or finished product provides information of the variation of drug substance or final product with time influenced by a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light. Knowledge gained from stability studies enables understanding of the effects of the environment on the drugs.The aim of our study was to determine the stability of cefuroxime axetil oral suspension at different temperature storage conditions (stored at room /20°C/ and refrigerated /5°C/ conditions). Determination of cefuroxime (as cefuroxime axetil) was performed by dissolution testing.Fractions of the released cefuroxime axetil were compared usingJ2 value. After interpolating data for dissolution profiles at room and refrigerated conditions the following f2values were obtained: 62,56; 56,32 and 36,18 on 3rd, 6th and 10th day, respectively. These values indicate similarities in drug release from analyzed cefuroxime axetil oral suspension on 3rd, 6th day, and differences on 10th day.Based on our results, we may assume that cefuroxime axetil oral suspension preserves its stability for 10 days after reconstitution under room and refrigerated conditions. It is obvious, according to the f2 value obtained on the 10th day, that there is a difference between the released ceforoxime axetil from oral suspension at room (87,68%) and refrigerated (92,35%) conditions. Concentration changes can be caused by the mechanisms associated with drug release and hydrolytical decomposition of the sample and higher temperatures during longer period of storage.

A menedzsmenttudományok megközelítése a jelenségek és tények empirikus vizsgálatán alapul. E tudományterület kutatóiban, így az emberierőforrás-menedzsment (HRM) területén is, régóta megfogalmazódott az igény a különböző országok gyakorlatában meglévő hasonlóságok és különbözőségek feltárására és magyarázatára. Ezek közé tartoznak a nemzeti környezeti jellemzők, az intézményi berendezkedés és a HRM-gyakorlatok közötti összefüggésekkel foglalkozó komparatív HR-kutatások. Ezek célja annak vizsgálata is, hogy azonosíthatók-e olyan országcsoportok, illetve régiók, amelyek sajátos HRM-jellemzőkkel rendelkeznek. Empirikus kutatásunkkal ehhez a vonulathoz csatlakozunk és a kontextuális kutatási paradigmát követve választ keresünk arra, hogy a globális tendenciákkal összevetve jelen pillanatban hol tart és milyen sajátosságokat mutat Kelet-Közép-Európa és hazánk szervezeteinek gyakorlata az emberierőforrás-menedzsmentben. Az emberierőforrás-menedzsment elméleti megközelítésein túl felhasználjuk a kulturális klaszterek és az összehasonlító közgazdaságtan által nyújtott gondolati keretet, ezek egymásra hatását és összefüggéseit vizsgáljuk a jelenségek magyarázatában.
A zsugorodás térbeli anatómiája: élőmunka-igényes iparágak földrajza az ezredforduló utáni Magyarországon
Authors: Molnár Ernő
Published: May 2018

E tanulmány vállalati adatszolgáltatásra épülő, továbbá népszámlálási foglalkoztatási adatok alapján a zsugorodó, hazai gazdasági szerkezetben mind marginálisabb szerepet játszó élőmunka-igényes textil- és ruházati ipar, illetve bőrtermék- és lábbeligyártás térbeli dinamikáját vizsgálja, valamint kísérletet tesz jelentős iparági koncentrációik beazonosítására. A kutatás az új regionalizmus néhány elméleti koncepciójára – mindenekelőtt az ipari körzetek és klaszterek megközelítéseire – építkezik. Abból indul ki, hogy a lokalizációs típusú, agglomerációs előnyöket kínáló térbeli koncentrációk az iparági szereplők feljebb lépéséhez és külső feltételekhez való alkalmazkodásához szükséges minőségi telepítő tényezők szélesebb választékát biztosítják és ezáltal formálhatják az iparágak jövőjét. A vizsgálat nem meglepő eredménye az élőmunka-igényes iparágak területileg differenciált leépülése, a kritikus tömegek kialakításának egyre romló esélyével. Az iparági koncentrációk megtartó erejét inkább mutató bőrtermék- és lábbeligyártás legjelentősebb telephelye összességében ma Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok megye, ahol Szolnok–Martfű–Tiszaföldvár térsége tekinthető Magyarország egyetlen jelentősebb, foglalkoztatásnövekedést is felmutatni képes könnyűipari tömörülésének az ezredforduló utáni időszakban.
Change and Continuity in Kassena Men's Perceptions of Family Planning in Northern Ghana
Authors: Wallace Lauren , Adongo Philip Baba
Published: May 2018

Studies suggest that men's perceptions of family planning in sub-Saharan Africa would be improved if they were included more extensively in family planning programs. However, few studies capture how men's views change over time and what processes are responsible for these shifts. Examining the processes that underpin men's shifting family formation strategies is essential in order to understand the impact of family planning programs. This research, framed by a political economy of fertility approach that draws on life history data, highlights intergenerational change and continuity in men's perceptions of family planning in Kassena-Nankana West District of the Upper East Region of Ghana, where a family planning program involving men was implemented in the 1990s. Eight months of ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in rural village and clinic settings in 2013 and 2014. We find that men's sense of responsibility for the cost of schooling, against a changing economic backdrop, as well as shifts toward “companionate marriage” are among the most salient factors contributing to their growing approval of family planning. This study highlights the importance of paying attention to changes in the larger socioeconomic context that encourage men's acceptance of family planning. We argue that programs incorporating men should move beyond health education to consider broader social and economic drivers of attitudinal change.

Published: June 2018

The purpose of the study was to determine whether Senior High School Form 3 Biology students have the skills of observation. The study adopted “Basic Skills Assessment” approach or method. One public/government science school offering biology was selected randomly and one private science school offering biology was also selected purposively for this study. A task was developed for assessing the observation skills of biology students at SHS 3. The research questions were answered using the Mann-Whitney U-test. The results indicated that students (both males and females) were performing at similar levels in the skill of observation. A look at the mean ranks indicates that even though the males scored higher than the females, the difference was not statistically significant. Students from the private schools performed significantly better than the students from the public school on the skill of observation. It was recommended that students from public school should be made to do more practical activities that involve observation to improve upon their observation skills.

Published: May 2018

Este trabalho procurou identificar a influência das capacidades dinâmicas na sustentação dos sistemas de gestão empresarial (ERPII). De acordo com a literatura, as capacidades dinâmicas influenciam positivamente o valor de uso dos sistemas de informação e, por conseguinte promovem o aumento do desempenho organizacional. Em um enfoque geral, elas evitam a dissipação dos investimentos feitos no ERPII. Para viabilizar o estudo, um modelo conceitual foi criado, com o objetivo de articular as variáveis relativas aos dois constructos. Com base neste modelo, foi criada uma pesquisa de campo de natureza quantitativa, com 374 colaboradores de áreas de tecnologia da informação de empresas de grande porte, que atuam no contexto brasileiro. Os resultados foram analisados por meio de métodos de estatística descritiva e regressão linear múltipla. A pesquisa contribui para o desenvolvimento dos estudos sobre capacidades organizacionais como impulsionadoras da vantagem competitiva.

Published: May 2018

A implementação dos Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica (NITs) ainda é apontada como um desafio no Brasil. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o processo de implantação e estruturação do NIT no Instituto Pasteur (IP), indicando os resultados aferidos neste processo. Foi escolhido o modelo organizacional híbrido, com atividades voltadas para prestação de serviço e Pesquisa & Desenvolvimento. As ações de implantação e estruturação do NIT-IP promoveram alguns resultados positivos na instituição como institucionalização, reconhecimento e sensibilização do NIT-IP frente a comunidade científica; e o acompanhamento e avaliação do potencial inovador dos projetos e resultados científicos da instituição pelo NIT-IP. Devido aos resultados obtidos este modelo pode ser utilizado como uma referência em outros institutos com a estrutura semelhante ou não ao IP. Contudo, o NIT-IP encontra-se em um processo de amadurecimento, devendo transpor gargalos relacionados com a ausência de verba destinada aos NITs e recursos humanos insuficientes.

Authors: Calzolaio Aziz Eduardo , Spricigo Gisele , Monteiro Sérgio
Published: May 2018

Este artigo propõem uma metodologia que identifica as atividades econômicas com potencial de absorver as tecnologias patenteadas duma universidade. Assim, o objetivo é realizar a correspondência entre as patentes da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) e as atividades econômicas. Para tanto, partiu-se da metodologia de Lybbert e Zolas (2014) sobre a qual empregou-se a análise de correspondência e o teste Qui Quadrado . Este concluiu que existe uma relação estatisticamente significativa entre as patentes da UFRGS e atividades econômicas específicas. De forma que as patentes se concentram no campo médico, odontológico, higiênico e terapêutico e se relacionam, primeiramente, com as indústrias de medicamentos e, em segundo lugar, com as de defensivos agrícolas e vacinas veterinárias. Complementarmente, as tecnologias de engenharia de material estão associadas às indústrias de máquinas e equipamentos. Por fim, 76% das patentes da UFRGS estão relacionadas a somente 6 campos econômicos.
Dissonância cognitiva e consumo sustentável: uma revisão sistemática da literatura
Authors: Mueller Adilson , Damacena Cláudio , Vaz Felipe Vidor
Published: May 2018

O estudo da teoria da dissonância cognitiva relacionada ao consumo sustentável é relativamente escasso. Nesse sentido, este artigo busca identificar e descrever as diferentes formas utilizadas pelas pessoas para lidar com a inconsistência entre atitudes e comportamentos relacionadas ao consumo sustentável. Para atender ao objetivo da pesquisa, utilizou-se o método da revisão sistemática da literatura. Os resultados evidenciam que as pessoas tendem a lidar com a tensão gerada pela dissonância cognitiva em relação ao consumo sustentável por meio do comprometimento, influência social, feedback, informações sobre produtos sustentáveis, negação e supressão de culpa, compensação, justificação, normas morais, benefícios percebidos versus custos/barreiras e semelhança comportamental. Esses achados aprofundam o entendimento de que substituir, esquecer ou adquirir novas cognições resolvem a dissonância e especificam detalhadamente um conjunto de justificativas presentes no comportamento do consumidor ao lidar com o fenômeno.
