ZASJEDANJA AVNOJ-A U SOCIJALISTIČKIM I POSTSOCIJALISTIČKIM UDŽBENICIMA
Authors: Dupanović Dino 
Published: January 2024

U radu se analiziraju udžbenici historije korišteni u razdoblju socijalističke Jugoslavije, kao i udžbenici koji su publikovani i koji se još uvijek koriste u Bosni i Hercegovini, odnosno u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine. U okviru analize pomenutih udžbenika, naglasak je stavljen na analizu dva događaja, Prvog i Drugog zasjedanja Anifašističkog vijeća narodnog oslobođenja Jugoslavije, odnosno (ne)zastupljenosti pomenutih događaja u udžbenicima i njihova interpretacija. Pored toga, djelomično je obrađeno i pitanje, odnosno pozicija Prvog i Drugog zasjedanja Anitifašističkog vijeća narodnog oslobođenja Jugoslavije u jugoslavenskoj zvaničnoj kulturi sjećanja promovisanoj od strane Saveza boraca Narodnooslobodilačkog rata. Glavna karakteristika u pozicioniranju pomenutih događaja kako u udžbenicima i zvaničnoj kulturi sjećanja, jeste snažna podjeljenost koja je u pozadini uvijek imala, etničke i nacionalne suprotnosti, što ukazuju i neke ranije analize autora iz Bosne i Hercegovine, poput Melise Forić Plasto, koja se bavila širom analizom udžbenika pisanih na bosanskom, hrvatskom i srpskom jeziku.

Authors: Mini V.  , Raj Akshay 
Published: January 2024

Aims: Assessment of soil quality of selected panchayaths of sandy plains (Typic Ustipsamments ) of Kerala based on various soil attributes and to work out soil quality index (SQI).
Study Design: A study was conducted in the selected panchayaths of sandy plains of Kerala (AEU 3) and 100 representative georeferenced surface soil samples were collected from various land uses. These soil samples were characterized for important physical, chemical, and biological properties.
Place and Duration of Study: Onattukara Regional Agricultural Research Station, Kayamkulam between April 2021 and May 2022.
Methodology: Hundred geo-referenced surface soil samples were collected from various land uses of selected panchayaths of sandy plains of Kerala and characterized for various physical (texture, bulk density, particle density, porosity, aggregate analysis, soil moisture, and WHC), chemical (pH, EC, organic carbon and available macro and micronutrients and biological attributes (acid phosphatase and dehydrogenase activity). Principal component analysis was used to set up the minimum data set of the indicators to compute the soil quality index. Seven principal components were extracted from which nine indicators that highly influenced the soil quality were identified. Scores and weights were assigned to each indicator, and they were aggregated to compute the soil quality index. The relative soil quality index of the soils was also found.
Results: Increased soil acidity and low levels of nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, and boron were noticed in these soils. The available P content of the soil was high. Mg, S, and B were deficient in 100 percent of the samples, whereas, Fe and Mn remained sufficient. Ca, Zn, and Cu exhibited 72.9, 24.3, and 21.7 percent deficiency, respectively. The majority of the soils belonged to medium soil quality (78.6 percent), followed by poor (12.8 percent) and good (8.6 percent) quality.
Conclusion: The majority of soils of selected panchayaths of sandy plains of Kerala fell into the medium soil quality class. However, there are several soil fertility issues in these soils. Hence site-specific and crop-specific management strategies have to be followed for the profitable cultivation of the crops and soil test-based fertilizer application has to be followed. It is mandatory to maintain the fertility of the soil for the sustainability of the environment.

Authors: Islam Md. Maminul , Sarker Sree Pradip Kumer 
Published: January 2024

Flash floods in the North-Eastern region of Bangladesh pose a severe threat to road infrastructure, causing extensive damage and disruptions. This study focuses on the comprehensive characterization of soil properties that play a pivotal role in exacerbating flash flood-related road damage. The North-Eastern region, characterized by diverse geological formations, including the Surma Basin and the Meghalaya Plateau, experiences recurrent flash floods during the monsoon season. The undulating topography and a network of rivers contribute to the complexity of the hydrogeological system, influencing soil properties and their impact on road infrastructure.
Field surveys were conducted to identify flash flood-prone areas, focusing on elevation, slope, and proximity to water bodies. Soil samples were collected at various depths and locations within vulnerable road sections, considering different land uses and topographical features. Laboratory analyses included particle size distribution, moisture content determination, soil classification, and cohesion tests. The results of this study highlight specific road sections vulnerable to flash floods, providing a foundation for targeted soil characterization. Key soil properties influencing road damage include high clay content, poor drainage characteristics, and low cohesion. The results also revealed the correlation between vulnerable road sections and specific combinations of soil properties, allowing for the identification of hotspots prone to flash flood-related damage.
Finally, this study contributes to an enhanced understanding of the soil properties influencing flash flood-related road damage in the North-Eastern region. The identified key soil characteristics offer valuable insights for road infrastructure planning and design, emphasizing the need for mitigation measures such as improved drainage systems and the use of appropriate roadbed materials to enhance overall road resilience in flood-prone areas.

Studies on oogenesis and oviposition in the brown spider Loxosceles intermedia (Araneae: Sicariidae)
Authors: Morishita Renata , Aparecida Ferreira Simone , Santiago Filha Arleide , Ditzel Faraco Cloris 
Published: June 2003

AbstractLoxosceles intermedia is a poisonous spider that has a wide distribution in southern Brazil, and constitutes a public health problem. In this study, the ovaries of mature females were examined by light and electron microscopy, and by histochemistry. Oocytes at all stages of development were observed in the same area of the mature ovarian wall, surrounded by a basement membrane and a proteic band. They were supported by a group of pedicular cells, which may function as follicular cells. No follicular cell was seen around the oocyte. Mature oocytes pass through the ovarian epithelial wall and are released into the ovarian lumen, covered by a vitelline membrane. The basement membrane and proteic band remain in the ovarian wall. On its way out, the oocyte is coated by proteins that will form the chorion. The presence of different coats throughout oogenesis, and at the time of egg release, is correlated with conditions that indicate fertilization occurs in the uterus lumen during oviposition.

Morphological features in human cortical brain microvessels after head injury: A three‐dimensional and immunocytochemical study
Authors: Rodríguez‐Baeza Alfonso , Reina‐de la Torre Francisco , Poca Antonia , Martí Mercè , Garnacho Angel 
Published: June 2003

AbstractWe studied the morphology of cortical microvessels in the brains of 10 patients who had died after receiving a traumatic head injury (THI). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of vascular corrosion casts, confocal microscopy of histological sections after immunocytochemistry, and detection of apoptosis by terminal dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) were used. Microvascular casts showed an angioarchitectonic distribution that was defined as normal according to results obtained in a previous, nontraumatic series of subjects. However, when we compared them with previous works, the cast surface of some of the microvessels showed three types of morphological alterations: longitudinal folds, sunken surfaces with craters, and a significant flattening with reduction of lumen. The vessels that were primarily affected were the arterioles and capillaries of the middle and deep cortical vascular zones. Immunostaining with the monoclonal antibody MAS‐336 against endothelial cells also showed the presence of longitudinal folds with a thinning of the vascular lumen, cytoplasmic round bodies, and a thickening of the endothelial cell membrane. The TUNEL technique revealed a positive staining of some endothelial cells.The structural alterations we observed indicate that microvessels undergo endothelial cell damage after THI. We suggest that this kind of lesion and the secondary functional injury to the blood–brain barrier (BBB) could play an important role in the development of the secondary lesions that these patients show in the subacute phase.

Morphology and histology of chimpanzee primary visual striate cortex indicate that brain reorganization predated brain expansion in early hominid evolution
Authors: Holloway Ralph L. , Broadfield Douglas C. , Yuan Michael S. 
Published: June 2003

AbstractHuman brain evolution is characterized by an overall increase in brain size, cerebral reorganization, and cerebral lateralization. It is generally understood when brain enlargement occurred during human evolution. However, issues concerning cerebral reorganization and hemispheric lateralization are more difficult to determine from brain endocasts, and they are topics of considerable debate. One region of the cerebral cortex that may represent the earliest evidence for brain reorganization is the primary visual cortex (PVC), or area 17 of Brodmann. In nonhuman primates, this region is larger in volume (demarcated anteriorly by the lunate sulcus), and extends further rostrally than it does in modern humans. In early hominid fossil (Australopithecus) endocasts, this region appears to occupy a smaller area compared to that in nonhuman primates. Some have argued that the brain first underwent size expansion prior to reorganization, while others maintain that reorganization predated brain expansion. To help resolve this question, we provide a description of two male, common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) brains, YN77‐111 and YN92‐115, which clearly display a more posterior lunate sulcal morphology than seen in other chimpanzees. These data show that neurogenetic variability exists in chimpanzees, and that significant differences in organization (e.g., a reduced PVC) can predate brain enlargement. While the human brain has experienced numerous expansion and reorganization events throughout evolution, the data from these two chimpanzees offer significant support for the hypothesis that the neurogenetic basis for brain reorganization was present in our early fossil ancestors (i.e., the australopithecines) prior to brain enlargement.

Fine structure of soft and hard tissues involved in eye migration in metamorphosing Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)
Authors: Okada Nozomi , Takagi Yasuaki , Tanaka Masaru , Tagawa Masatomo 
Published: June 2003

AbstractThe body of a Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) changes from a symmetrical to an asymmetrical form during metamorphosis. To obtain detailed information on the mechanisms of the migration of the right eye to the left side, soft and hard tissues in the head of larval flounders were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Retrorbital vesicles (Rvs) are pairs of sac‐like structures under the eyes. It has been suggested that the asymmetrical development of Rvs, with the right (blind) one being bigger than the left, is the driving force behind eye migration. The present study revealed that the ultrastructure of the Rv sheath is quite similar to that of a lymphatic capillary. Thus, it is possible that the Rv is a part of the lymph system, and is probably related to the secondary vascular system in teleosts. If we assume that the Rv sheath has a high permeability to liquid, similar to lymphatic capillaries, it is not plausible that the active expansion of the Rv pushes the eyeball. On the other hand, the pseudomesial bar (Pb) is a bone that is unique to flounders and is present only on the right (blind) side. At the beginning of eye migration, an aggregation of fibroblast‐like cells is observed in the dermis under the right eye, where the Pb will subsequently be formed. These cells have a well‐developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) and mitochondria, and are probably responsible for formation of the thick layers of collagen fibrils around them. Since it is unlikely that the active expansion of the Rv causes eye migration, the role played by the Pb and its rudiment becomes more significant in right eye migration in the Japanese flounder becomes more significant.

Published: June 2003

AbstractTo examine the macroscopic structure, blood supply, and innervation of the pancreas in the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus), we performed gross anatomical dissection and whole‐mount immunostaining of the autonomic nerve of Suncus pancreases based on neurofilament protein (NFP) immunoreactivity. The adult Suncus pancreas is clearly separated into right and left lobes that are not fused. The right lobe of the Suncus pancreas is located in the dorsum of the duodenum and to the right of the common bile duct independently. The right lobe is supplied by branches of the superior mesenteric artery, and is innervated by branches that originate from the superior mesenteric plexus and run along the arterial branches of the superior mesenteric artery. The left lobe occupies 9/10 of the entire pancreas and is located to the left of the common bile duct. It is supplied mainly by branches of the splenic and common hepatic arteries, and is innervated by branches that originate from the celiac plexus and run along the splenic and common hepatic arteries. According to previous studies on the blood supply and innervation of the human pancreas, the right and left lobes of the Suncus pancreas correspond to the pancreatic parts derived from the ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds. The current results suggest that the Suncus pancreas is a suitable experimental model for studying the development of the human pancreas. Anat Rec Part A 273A:630–635, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Distribution of MHC II (+) cells in skin of the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus): An initial investigation of dolphin dendritic cells
Authors: Zabka Tanja S. , Romano Tracy A. 
Published: June 2003

AbstractThe skin is an important tissue of the immune system; however, little is known about immune cells in dolphin skin, and very few cetacean‐specific immunoreagents are available for investigative purposes. Therefore, in this study immunohistochemistry techniques were used with species‐specific and non‐species‐specific antibodies to characterize immune cells, primarily focusing on Langerhans cells, in skin from the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). An antibody to human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules labeled cells with a dendritic‐like morphology. The immunophenotype, morphology, and distribution of some of these cells are consistent with those of Langerhans cells. The cells were predominantly found in dermal papillae, primarily along the epidermal–dermal junction. Thus, the location of these cells was somewhat different from that in terrestrial mammals. Other MHC II (+) cells of varying morphology were observed deeper in the dermis, with a perivascular concentration, and had characteristics of macrophages and dermal dendritic cells. There was no immunostaining with cetacean‐specific CD2 or CD21. In diseased skin, a subjective increase of MHC II (+) cells, most notably in the superficial skin layers, was associated with an ulcerative dermatitis. A few CD2 (+) cells were also present. Differences between dolphins and terrestrial mammals in terms of morphology, mechanisms of response to insult and repair, and environmental challenges may explain the modified distribution of MHC II (+) cells in dolphin skin. An elucidation of the immune cells in cetacean skin will contribute to our understanding of the evolution of functional adaptations to various environments, facilitate diagnosis of skin diseases, and define the potential for intradermal administration of vaccines and other immunotherapeutics.

Authors: de Vos tot Nederveen Cappel W H , Järvinen H J , Björk J , Berk T , Griffioen G , Vasen H F A 
Published: June 2003

AbstractBackgroundThe lifetime risk of developing duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is about 5 per cent. When and to what extent surgical intervention should be undertaken to prevent death from invasive carcinoma is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of various surgical treatments for cancer and severe duodenal adenomatosis.MethodsA questionnaire was mailed to the members of the Leeds Castle Polyposis Group to obtain data on patients with FAP, treated for duodenal cancer or severe duodenal adenomatosis after 1990.ResultsSixty-nine patients were included. The indication for surgery was invasive cancer in 13 patients, of whom six died from metastatic disease. Fifty-six patients were initially treated for severe duodenal adenomatosis, five (9 per cent) of whom died from metastatic disease (P = 0·002). In surviving patients, adenomas recurred after ampullectomy (six of eight, at mean follow-up of 11 months), after duodenotomy with polypectomy (17 of 21, at mean 29 months) and after pancreatoduodenectomy (six of 25, at mean 47 months). None of six patients who underwent a pancreas-sparing duodenectomy had recurrence of adenoma (mean follow-up 11 months).ConclusionSurgery for duodenal adenomatosis should take place before endoscopic biopsy reveals invasive cancer. Even after extensive surgical procedures, small bowel adenomas may occur, emphasizing the need for chemoprevention.

Authors: Middleton S J , Pollard S , Friend P J , Watson C , Calne R Y , Davies M , Cameron E A B , Gimson A E , Bradley J A , Shaffer J , Jamieson N V 
Published: June 2003

Abstract

Background
In 1996 two transplantation centres in the UK were commissioned by the National Specialist Commissioning Advisory Group for England and Wales to assess small intestinal transplantation in adults. The joint experience of the two centres is presented.

Methods
Patients with irreversible small intestinal failure and complications of parenteral nutrition, and those with abdominal disease requiring extensive visceral resection, were assessed as candidates and where appropriate listed for surgery.

Results
Thirty-six patients were assessed for small intestinal transplantation and, of these, 14 underwent surgery. Twelve patients survived the transplantation procedure. Of these, seven patients were alive at 1 year, five at 3 years and three at 5 years. Three patients remain alive. Patient and graft survival improved with experience; the 1-year survival rate improved in the last 4 years of this experience from 43 to 57 per cent, and the 3-year survival rate from 29 to 43 per cent.

Conclusion
Small intestinal transplantation is associated with a high mortality rate but may benefit carefully selected patients in whom conservative management is likely to carry a greater mortality rate.
Male gender adversely affects survival following surgery for colorectal cancer
Authors: McArdle C S , McMillan D C , Hole D J 
Published: June 2003

Abstract

Background
Previous studies have suggested that survival following surgery for colorectal cancer is better in women than men. However, the findings were inconsistent and few studies adjusted for case-mix. The aim of the present study was to establish whether there were gender differences in survival following surgery for colorectal cancer after adjusting for case-mix.

Methods
Some 3200 patients who underwent resection for colorectal cancer between 1991 and 1994 in 11 hospitals in Scotland were included in the study. Five-year survival rates, and the corresponding hazard ratios, adjusted for age, mode of presentation, site of tumour, the nature of surgery and Dukes stage, were calculated for men and women.

Results
Overall survival at 5 years was higher in women than men, in those with colonic tumours, those who underwent elective surgery and those who underwent apparently curative resection (all P &lt; 0·001). Cancer-specific survival at 5 years was also higher in women (P = 0·008) and those who underwent elective surgery (P &lt; 0·001). The adjusted hazard ratios, for women relative to men following curative resection, were 0·76 (95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 0·68 to 0·85) (P &lt; 0·001) for overall survival and 0·84 (95 per cent c.i. 0·73 to 0·98) (P = 0·021) for cancer-specific survival.

Conclusion
Following apparently curative resection for colorectal cancer and after adjusting for case-mix, there was an excess of both cancer-related and intercurrent deaths in men.
