The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the Fund for Social Security of Military Insurers and the Republic Health Insurance Fund through the aspect of more efficient use of health insurance funds. Analyzing this relationship, the system of health care in the Republic of Serbia and the health insurance system are essentially considered. Taking into account the specifics of the social protection of military insurers, efforts are being made to find out the direction and improvement of relations with the civilian health care system. Only the proactive relationship between the military and the civilian health system and the health insurance system is a condition of better health care for the insured of both funds, as well as more efficient use of health insurance funds. Health protection of the population is one of the most important social priorities and as such it must be given special attention. The right of the individual to health care, but also to other forms of protection, is realized within the framework of social insurance. Health care, and therefore the health insurance system of military insureds, developed in accordance with the specifics related to the military system itself. Fully respecting the autonomy of the said system, the development of insurance in this area evolved along with changes in the prevailing civilian health insurance system. The system of health care and health insurance is one of the most important systems in each country. The efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the functioning of this system is a challenge for every national economy. The goal that needs to be achieved is to achieve the best health care of the nation by means of available health insurance. The system of compulsory health insurance in the Republic of Serbia is implemented through a unique state organization - the Republic Health Insurance Fund. When it comes to health insurance and the protection of civil and military insurers, it is clear that these are two completely separate and independent systems that have a lot of common points and whose mutual cooperation and shared use of resources should lead to positive effects as a whole. The financial aspect, which is especially reflected through the health insurance system, is one of the most important factors because it directly affects the scope and quality of the entire health care system. Considering and analyzing the complexity of the mutual relations between the civilian and military health and social security systems, and consequently the health care system, some of the possible proposals have emerged for improvement of one of the most important aspects of every society - the health of the nation.

Introduction. Asthma and obesity are the most common chronic health disorders in children. Although heredity plays a significant role in their development, environmental factors and early exposure have contributed to the increasing incidence of both disorders in recent decades. The aim of the study was to estimate asthma prevalence in schoolchildren in Indjija, Srem District, Serbia, and to investigate differences in nutritional status of children with asthma as well as differences between their nutritional status and prescribed asthma medications. Material and Methods. A cross-sectional retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Primary Health Center in Indjija. Of all the medical records of children aged 6 - 14 years, a cohort of children with asthma was formed. The retrospective study evaluated their nutritional status and the prescribed asthma medications. Results. The prevalence of asthma in children aged 6 - 14 was 6.9%. Children with asthma were significantly more overweight and obese (40.5%) than children without asthma. Boys accounted for 63.7% of children with asthma, with a statistically significant gender difference. Abnormal nutritional status was found in 44.3% of children with asthma and boys with asthma were significantly more obese (23%) compared to girls (7.8%). Overweight and obese children with asthma were not prescribed significantly more medications to relieve asthma symptoms than normal-weight children. Conclusion. The prevalence of asthma among schoolchildren in Indjija was 6.9%. Children with asthma were more likely to be overweight and obese than children without asthma, whereas boys with asthma were significantly more obese than girls. No significant differences were found between their nutritional status and prescribed asthma medications.

Summary This study assessed the potential of probiotic characteristics of bacterial strains isolated from dry-cured sheep ham. It is one of the most common autochthonous processed meat products made in a traditional way on the Pešter plateau (Western Serbia). Isolates were identified as Lactobacillus curvatus (9 strains), Lactobacillus sakei (3 strains), and Enterococcus faecium (4 strains) using MALDI-TOF mass spectrophotometry. The study of probiotic characteristics of 16 dry-cured sheep ham isolates included survival rate through the gastrointestinal tract (GI), the possibility of biogenic amine synthesis, growth on medium with different concentrations of phenol,and antimicrobial activity. The results showed that in simulated gastric juice conditions, the cell number decreased after the first hour of incubation in the tested strains of Lb. curvatus, Lb. sakei and En. faecium except in the case of Lb. curvatus IIos19 where the number of cells remained approximately the same. After the second hour of incubation, the number of cells generally remained at the level of the first hour except in the case of the following isolates: Lb. sakei Ios12, Lb. curvatus IIos18 and En. faecium IIos24, where an increase in the number of cells was noticed after the second hour of incubation. In simulated small intestine conditions, an increase in the number of vital cells after 4 and 6 hours of incubation was observed in the isolates Lb. curvatus IIos4, Lb. sakei (Ios12, IIIos13), and En. faecium Ios1a. Synthesis of biogenic amines was not observed in investigated lactobacilli and enterococci. Analyzed isolates exhibited growth on media with 0.1% and 0.2% phenol, while 5 isolates exhibited decarboxylase activity. Six Lactobacillus strains, Lb. curvatus (IIos6, IIos17, and IIIos1), Lb. sakei (IIIos16, Ios12, and IIIos13) and En. faecium Ios4 inhibited the growth of tested pathogens, including Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579.

UDK 94(497.16) "1924" 341.458(=163.4*3)(497.16)"1924" Dana 9 novembra 1924. godine, naoružani Crnogorci pravoslavci su izvrsili napad na selo Sahovici u Crnoj Gori. Povod za ovaj napad bilo je ubistvo Boska Boskovic, nacelnika Kolasinskog okruga 7 novembra 1924. godine. Na njegovi sprovodu iznesena je tvrdnja da su ze njegovo ubistvo odgovorni Bosnjaci muslimani te da je potrebno njega osvetiti. Masakar pocinjen u selu Sahovici 1924. u Crnoj Gori bio je najveci zlocin pocinjen u Kraljevini Jugoslaviji u mirnodopskom periodu. Iako najveci i najbrutaliniji o ovom zlocinu ne postoji puno podataka i svjedocanstva. U ovom clanku navode se, do sad, ne objavljeni dijelovi tekstova iz casopisa „Pravda“ koje govore o zlocinu u Sahovicima i brutalnosti sa kojom je pocinjen. Summary On November the 9th, 1924, armed Montenegrins of the Orthodox Christian faith attacked the village Sahovici in Montenegro. The motive behind this attack was the revenge for the murder of Bosko Boskovic, the Mayor of Kolasin county, on November the 7th 1924. At his funeral the allegations were made stating that Bosniak Muslims were responsible for this murder and that it must be revenged for. The massacre of Sahovici village is the most horrible crime committed in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in its peacetime period.  Despite this and despite the fact that it was also the most atrocious massive killing we do not have much data or testimonies related to it. In this article we present, until now unpublished pieces of texts from the magazine “Pravda” that relate about this crime and reveal the brutality of the massacre committed in Sahovici village.
