In this paper is analysed the role of security providers at the national level in the control of hate crimes. The special particular reference is given on the role of the police and prosecutor’s offi ce but also the other entities which have a social signifi cance in the creation of the suitable environment for the prevention of these criminal offences. Those are primarily educational institutions, political elites and media. Effi cient control of the hate crimes is a comprehensive process in which should actively be involved different entities in the society, not only the authorities of the formal social control. Integral approach to this problem can give positive results in the long run, whether it is about the repressive action or the prevention.

Emergency department (ED) nurses need to identify patients with potential acute coronary syndrome (ACS) rapidly because treatment delay could impact patient outcomes. Aims of this secondary analysis were to identify key patient factors that could be available at initial ED nurse triage that predict ACS. Consecutive patients with chest pain who called 9-1-1, received a 12-lead electrocardiogram in the prehospital setting, and were transported via emergency medical service were included in the study. A total of 750 patients were recruited. The sample had an average age of 59 years old, was 57% male, and 40% Black. One hundred and fifteen patients were diagnosed with ACS. Older age, non-Caucasian race, and faster respiratory rate were independent predictors of ACS. There was an interaction between heart rate by Type II diabetes receiving insulin in the context of ACS. Type II diabetics requiring insulin for better glycemic control manifested a faster heart rate. By identifying patient factors at ED nurse triage that could be predictive of ACS, accuracy rates of triage may improve, thus impacting patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT In order to determine the degree of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollution, a biomonitoring study was conducted using honey as a bioindicator. Bees are good bioindicators of environmental pollution, either via the presence of toxic molecules in their bodies or via the presence of residues in their products. In this study we investigated 10 honey samples collected from polluted and unpolluted areas in Herzegovina region for their contamination with 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Extraction was done in ultrasonic bath and was followed by chromatographic analysis by HPLC with UV/Vis detector. Results showed no presence of PAHs in six honey samples, while in four of them we detected low PAH concentrations with maximum values never higher than 7 µgkg−1 of fresh weight for the honey. Benzo⦋a⦌pyrene, which is the most potentially carcinogenic PAH, was detected in one sample. Indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene was found in all samples where PAHs were detected in the range < LOD to 2.56 µgkg−1 FW. Concentrations of all PAHs detected in investigated honey samples were low and safe to consume. The results of this study show that honey can be used as a bioindicator to assess environmental pollution.

This study interprets results of multiparametric measurements obtained on a pipeline experiencing dynamic stray currents caused by DC train traction. Measurements included three 24 h recordings of pipe-to-soil and rail-to-soil potentials, pipe-to-rail voltages and drainage currents in cases without mitigation measures, with polarized drainage and with forced drainage. Time domain analysis included construction of frequency diagrams and linear correlation between pipe-to-soil potentials and pipe-to-rail voltages. Wavelet space analysis pinpoints time intervals with harmful stray current periods within them and resolves between the dominant potential shifts due to the nearby passing trains and distant trains in the transport network.

By analyzing angular and energy distributions of the photoelectrons emitted in strong-laser-field-induced ionization of molecules, one can obtain information about the molecular structure and the ground-state symmetry. High-energy part of the photoelectron spectra in the above-threshold ionization (ATI) is characterized by a plateau region in which the ionization probability is practically energy independent. The photoelectron yield drops off exponentially for electron energies higher than some critical energy, i.e. the mentioned plateau is followed by an abrupt cutoff. We investigate the influence of the molecular ground state symmetry on this plateau region and show that, analyzing the corresponding high-order ATI spectra, one can obtain information about the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) of the considered molecules. We present results for different homonuclear diatomic molecules: N2, O2, Ar2 and C2 having, respectively, the σ g , π g , σ u and π u symmetries of the HOMO. Particular attention is devoted to the C2 molecule since high-order ATI spectra for this molecule have not been analyzed yet. We consider ATI by a linearly polarized laser field for which the mentioned plateau can be well-developed, depending on the orientation of the molecular axis with respect to the laser-field polarization axis. The HOMO-symmetry-dependent (dis)appearance of the plateau is particularly pronounced for the parallel and perpendicular orientations. Our findings are valid for a wide range of the laser-field intensities and wavelengths, which is important for realization of the suggested experiments. Using the improved molecular strong-field approximation, the theory which is particularly suitable for the analysis of high-energy ATI spectra, for the case of the C2 molecule and different molecular and laser parameters, we investigate various features of the plateau, such as its length and the interference minima and their positions.

During the last few years, we have witnessed more frequent floods affecting the northeastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the valley of the Spreca River. Flooded soil has undergone various changes, in terms of numerous deficiencies and heavy metal contamination, where such soil represents a great danger both for people and animals. Therefore, in this paper the physicochemical analysis of soil and degree of pollution is determined. The aim of soil sampling and analysis is to determine its status after water withdrawal, in terms of nutrient supply, and to determine possible chemical pollution. Based on the results obtained, agricultural producers will receive recommendations regarding restoration of production on these areas, the choice of cultivated culture, corrective measures or remediation of these areas. As part of the analysis, hygroscopic moisture, acid-base soil status, oxidoreduction potential, organic matter content, carbonate content and heavy metals content were determined. Based on the performed analyzes, the soil was shown to be of neutral character (determined in 1M KCl), and weakly alkaline (determined in distilled H2O) with predominantly reducing condition prevailing in the soil. The conducted analyzes have shown that the soil is very poor in humus, and that the heavy metals content is within the limit values determined by the Rulebook on Determination of Allowed Quantities of Harmful and Dangerous Substances in Soil and Method of Testing there of (“Official Gazette of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina”, number 52/09). Therefore, from the aspect of the pollution degree, the soil from this plot belongs to the first class when it comes to iron, manganese, cadmium and lead, to the second class when it comes to zinc, and the third class when it comes to copper.

Problem koji se istražio odnosi se na ispitivanje stavova vaspitača o saradnji i partnerstvu porodice i predškolske ustanove kao različitim konceptima. Istraživanjem se došlo do podataka i rezultata istraživanja o tome da li je zastupljeno partnerstvo između porodice i predškolske ustanove. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćen uzorak od 120 ispitanika. U sitraživanju su učestvovali ispitanici obje polne strukture, u starosnoj dobi od 22 do 60 godina. Kao instrument u istraživanju korištena je skala stavova petostepenog Likertovog tipa za mjerenje afirmativnosti stavova vaspitača prema partnerstvu u odnosu na saradnju između porodice i predškolske ustanove. Kvantitativna analiza empirijskog istraživanja pokazala je, za uzorak u cjelini, da se u populaciji vaspitača pouzdano može očekivati preferiranje partnerstva u odnosu na saradnju porodice i predškolske ustanove.

U radu autor prikazuje rezultate istražibanja provedenog na uzorku654 učenika iz 7 osnovnih škola grada Tuzle, uzrasta od 13 do 14 godina. Unutar provedenoh istražianja željelo se putem originalnog Testa muzičke kreativnosti – MASKA (muzučka skala kreativnosti), konstruisanog samo za ovu priliku, ispitati i tražiti odgovore da li učenici primijete koliko ih nastava muzičke kulture motiviše za kreativan rad. Pregled rezultata dobijenih multiplom regresijom, ukazuju da na osnovu samo četiri parametra muzičke kreativnosti moguće pojasniti kvalitet nastave muzičke kulture u osnovnoj školi. Dobijeni nalazi pokazuju da je statistički značajna razlika, s obzirom na muzičku kreativnost učenika, samo u odnosu na pol djece, u korist učenika osnovne škole ženskog pola. Ocjena iz muzičke kulture najznačajniji je prediktor motivacije učenika za uživanje u muzici. Značajan je i nalaz koji nas upućuje da dječaci slabije ispoljavaju emocije u odnosu na djevojčice.

PROBLEM The aim of this study was to quantify and compare the distribution of regulatory CD25+ FOXP3+ and activated CD4+ CD25+ T cells in decidua basalis and parietalis of severe and mild pre-eclampsia (PE) to normal healthy pregnancies. METHOD OF STUDY Decidual tissue (decidua basalis and parietalis) of 13 women with mild PE, 15 women with severe PE and 19 women with healthy term pregnancies were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence. RESULTS The total number of CD25+ FOXP3+ cells/mm2 in decidua basalis was decreased in the severe and mild PE versus normal pregnancy group. The total number of CD4+ CD25+ cells/mm2 in decidua basalis was decreased in the severe PE versus normal pregnancy group. The number of CD25+ FOXP3+ and CD4+ CD25+ cells in decidua parietalis was decreased in both PE groups. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that immunological changes of PE reflect on decidua basalis and parietalis and emphasize the importance of characterizing T cells in both decidual departments.

The Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism) has garnered intense attention over the past 15 years. We examined the structure of these traits’ measure—the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD)—in a sample of 11,488 participants from three W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., North America, Oceania, Western Europe) and five non-W.E.I.R.D. (i.e., Asia, Middle East, non-Western Europe, South America, sub-Saharan Africa) world regions. The results confirmed the measurement invariance of the DTDD across participants’ sex in all world regions, with men scoring higher than women on all traits (except for psychopathy in Asia, where the difference was not significant). We found evidence for metric (and partial scalar) measurement invariance within and between W.E.I.R.D. and non-W.E.I.R.D. world regions. The results generally support the structure of the DTDD.
