Histamine and its Effects Mediated via H3 Receptor – Potential Clinical Applications of H3 Antagonists
Authors: Hanuskova E. , Plevkova J. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Histamine is one of the most important biogenic amines and it mediates numbers of physiological processes. It is also involved in majority of inflammatory diseases via its receptors H1, H2, H3 and H4. The role of histamine had been recognized as substantial in many allergic diseases including bronchial asthma, thus the histamine receptor antagonists (H1) are frequently used in the clinical practice as potent anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, first generation of antihistamines have also adverse effects, predominantly sedation, changes in appetite and many more, and they are still not fully effective in all patients. Attention is now focused mainly on H3 and H4 receptor antagonists and their potential clinical applications. This review focuses basically on the H3 receptor, its expression pattern and some effects which are mediated by H3, discussing its clinical relevance
Generalized Construction of Two-Dimensional Quasi Complete Complementary Codes
Authors: Dávideková Monika 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Authors in [1] proposed generating method of two-dimensional (2D) quasi orthogonal complete complementary codes (QOCCC) with element order N2. This construction is based on one-dimensional (1D) complete complementary codes (CCC) introduced in [2]. New constructions of CCC with shorter 1D-CCC element length were published recently [3-4]. In this paper former construction is generalized for using any recent 1D-CCC for input which results in 2D-CCC with element of smaller order. Parameter dependences of 2D-QOCCC on 1D-CCC parameters and advantages of QOCCC are discussed

Published: May 2018

Abstract
Samples made from Vanadis 6 PM ledeburitic tool steel were surface machined, ground and mirror polished. Prior the deposition, they were heat treated to a hardness of 60 HRC. CrAg7N-coatings were deposited by magnetron sputtering technique, using pure Cr and Ag targets, in a composite low pressure nitrogen/argon atmosphere and at a temperature of 500 °C. The coatings have an average thickness of 4.3 μm. They grew in a very well visible columnar manner, but, individual silver agglomerates were visible along the columnar crystals, also. The average size of silver agglomerates lies well below 50 nm, e.g. one can suggest that they are capable to be solved and release the Ag atoms to be migrated to the free surface during thermal exposition. The coatings had a good adhesion on the surface - the first critical loads, established by scratch-testing method, ranged between 30 and 39 N.

Authors: Šalgó Kristián , Kusý Martin 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The corrosion resistance of zinc coatings is determined primarily by the thickness of the coating but varies with the severity of environmental conditions. In case of zinc-based alloys for steel coating the phase type and its quantity developed upon solidification determines corrosion resistance as well. In this paper the phase quality and evolution along thickness of the Zn-Al-Mg coating layer was studied by x-ray diffraction analysis. During investigation the coating was removed in controlled manner in several steps. Each individual step of removal was followed with x-ray diffraction measurement and subsequent analysis of x-ray diffraction patterns.

The Doctrinaire Authority: The Court of Justice of The EU and the Fundamental Rights / Doktrinarni Autoritet: Sud Pravde Evropske Unije I Osnovna Prava
Authors: Ilik Goran 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This paper represents the analysis of the Court of Justice of the EU, in particular the Court of Justice, and its “interpretive power”, within its authority for diffusion and proliferation of the EU law. Namely, the paper describes the position, responsibilities, powers and the role of the Court of Justice, in order to penetrate into its institutional performances as doctrinaire authority, regarding the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU as its interpretive framework. Also, the paper presents the most representative axiological determinations of the EU as a basis of the “interpretive power” of the Court of Justice. Accordingly, the paper describes the Court as a central judicial EU institution that with its “interpretive power” generates legal doctrines through the prism of fundamental rights and freedoms. Consequently, the Court of Justice appears as undisputed doctrinaire authority that assumes the role of doctrine - maker and doctrine - keeper of the human rights and freedoms, accepted and promulgated by the EU.
Possibility of Applying Economic Value Added in the Capital Market of the Republic of Srpska / Mogućnost Primene Dodate Ekonomske Vrednosti Na Tržištu Kapitala U Republici Srpskoj
Authors: Alihodžić Almir 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The efficiency of a management team primarily depends on the level of improvement of enterprise performances, i.e. whether its market value has increased or whether it creates value for shareholders. The accounting net profit can provide a partial answer to this question because it covers only one portion of the cost of capital, i.e. the cost of debt capital, while the price and cost of equity are disregarded. The method of the economic value added takes into account an average cost of capital, i.e. it calculates the total costs of borrowed capital and own capital. This paper explores the possibility to calculate economic value added for an individual share within the share market index of BIRS.

Published: May 2018

İzolasyon önlemleri hem hastaların hem
de sağlık çalışanlarının sağlığı açısından çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada CDC’nin
standart ve bulaş yoluna bağlı olarak kategorize ettiği enfeksiyon kontrol
yöntemlerinin bilgisini son sınıf tıp öğrencilerinde ölçerek hekim adaylarının
bilgi düzeyini belirlemeyi amaçladık. Veriler, altı seçenekli on soruluk bir
anket ile toplandı. Anket, Türkiyenin farklı illerindeki son sınıfta okuyan tıp
öğrencileriyle yapıldı. Çalışmaya dahil
olan kişilere, üniversitelerdeki aracı kişiler aracılığıyla kapalı Facebook
gruplarından ve WhatsApp uygulamasından ulaşıldı. Ankete ait soruların
cevaplanması istendi. El hijyeni uygulamasına doğru cevap verilme oranı (%59)
iyi düzeyde iken, damlacık izolasyon önlemlerinin uygulanmasında (%9) ya da
meningekoksemili hastanın izolasyonu konusunda (%19) daha fazla eğitim ihtiyacı
dikkat çekiciydi. Gözlük kullanımı, galoş uygulamaları, enfeksiyon etkenlerinin
bulaşma yolları, izolasyon yöntemleri ve kişisel koruyucu ekipmanların
çıkarılma sırasıyla ilgili bilgi düzeyleri yeterli değildi. Tıp fakültesi
altıncı sınıf öğrencilerinin el yıkama endikasyonları ve eldiven kullanmayla
ilgili bilgi düzeyleri yeterli olduğu, ancak hekim adaylarının izolasyon ya da
koruyucu ekipman kullanımına ait bilgi düzeylerinin arttırılmaya ihtiyacı
olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç olarak enfeksiyon kontrol tedbirlerinin tıp
fakültelerinde daha yoğun bir şekilde anlatılması ve farkındalığın artırılması
gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Published: May 2018

This study investigates protein, amount of fat, lactose, dry matter, point of freezing and number of somatic cells (SHS) as well as the relationship among these mentioned components of milk collected from milk collection tanks from three different collection centers in Biga Town in Canakkale Province by using 832 raw cow milk sample. Mastitis is a high cost sickness in dairy cattle production industry and number of somatic cells (SHS) in the milk is an indicator of the problem. SHS also cause loss in the productivity of raw milk and increase the production costs of raw milk at the same time. Increased number of somatic cells also affect content of lactose, protein and dry matter in the milk to a great extent. This study aims to identify the relationship among SHS identified in raw cow milk and dry matter, non-fat dry matter, fat, protein and lactose contents.

The stability of metal oxide aqueous suspension in the cationic polyacrylamide (PAM) presence was examined. For this purpose the turbidimetry method was applied. Chromium(III) oxide, zirconium(IV) oxide and aluminium(III) oxide were selected for experiments. The ionic polyacrylamide with molecular weight 7 000 000 Da and containing 50% of cationic groups was applied as an adsorbate. To explain the obtained changes in the stability parameters of metal oxide suspensions in the polymer presence the spectrophotometric and electrokinetic measurements were performed. They enable determination of PAM adsorbed amount, as well as surface charge density and zeta potential of solid particles without and covered with polymeric layers. The analysis of these data led to the description of the most probable stability mechanism of solid suspension containing cationic polyacrylamide

Study of the possibility of using the existing normative and technical documentation for the design of girls' clothing for a teenage group. The contact method of obtaining anthropometric information describing the child's figure was used in the work. An anthropological (descriptive) method was used to determine the types of physique. Making clothes according to the existing normative and technical documentation does not take into account modern features of the structure of the body of adolescents, leads to a violation of the conformity of the finished product and a decrease in the satisfaction of consumers with commensurable clothing. The above information indicates the need for a broad study of the children's population to review the existing system of typical figures, namely, determining the optimal number of typical figures, body types and their quantitative characteristics. A significant discrepancy between the standard typological composition in the OST 18-66-88 of the composition of typical figures of modern girls is found, namely only 43.9% of modern figures of girls are represented in the industry standard, and 12.67% in other age groups of child and female standards. Based on the analysis of contemporary typical figures of adolescent girls, the percentage distribution of the standard sizes in the sample was calculated and a list of typical figures that are absent in children's industry standards was established. The typological composition of the figures of adolescent girls is determined for reporting the leading dimensional characteristics to ensure an increase in the level of satisfaction of this group of people with mass-produced clothing.

César Moro: Poeta Híbrido y Transnacional
Authors: Westphalen Rodríguez Yolanda 
Published: May 2018

La eufonía, esa sonoridad agradable que resulta de la acertada combinación de los elementos acústicos de las palabras, es un componente decisivo de la poética moreana y clave en la elección del francés como lengua de escritura. Así, el artículo abordará tres aspectos de la problemática del uso de la lengua en la obra de César Moro. En primer lugar, su definición como un escritor bilingüe de expresión francesa; en segundo lugar, su adopción del francés como parte de un transnacionalismo surrealista; y, por último, las características de su hibridismo intercultural francófono que lo llevó a construir su propia diglosia poética y cultural.
