Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute, immune-mediated post-infectious polyradiculoneuropathy usually presenting with symmetrical ascending weakness, diminished deep tendon reflexes, and non-specific sensory symptoms. GBS is in essence an autoimmune disorder, and the underlying mechanism is thought to result from so-called molecular mimicry. This hypothesis is further supported by approximately 2/3 of the patients having a preceding infection. In most cases, the infectious trigger occurs in the gastrointestinal or respiratory tract, with the disease manifesting within four weeks. Even though it most commonly affects children aged 1 to 5 years old, there are rare cases reported in neonates and infants. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 6-month-old infant with Guillain-Barré syndrome following a respiratory infection. The diagnosis was confirmed through cerebrospinal fluid analysis, EMNG, spine MRI, and clinical assessment. Positive human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) in cerebrospinal fluid suggested a potential infectious trigger. The infant was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and ganciclovir, requiring intensive care and mechanical ventilation. Recovery involved gradual neurological improvement and restored motor function over 30 days. Conclusion: GBS is a rare disorder, especially in children and requires multidisciplinary management to prevent complications from occurring and thereby improve the prognosis of patients. Upon arrival at the emergency department, all patients should be carefully evaluated, looking for autonomic and respiratory dysfunction signs. Generally, pediatric patients have a better prognosis compared to adults. Initiation of treatment in the early stages of the disease leads to a faster recovery and consequently fewer sequelae.
Uvod Empatija kao temelj međuljudskih odnosa ima sve značajniju ulogu u savremenim modelima zdravstvene zaštite, naročito u radu sa starijom populacijom. U kontekstu zdravstva zasnovanog na zajednici, empatija se ne posmatra isključivo kao osobina zdravstvenih radnika, već i kao funkcionalna komponenta komunikacije, izgradnje povjerenja i unapređenja zdravlja i kvaliteta života. U radu sa starijom populacijom, empatija zdravstvenih profesionalaca ima posebno mjesto. Osobe treće životne dobi često se suočavaju s osjećajem nesigurnosti, usamljenosti i straha od bolesti, što zahtijeva pristup koji podrazumijeva razumijevanje i poštovanje njihovih potreba. Cilj Cilj rada je prikazati kako empatičan pristup zdravstvenih radnika može uticati na zdravstvene ishode u zajednici, kroz primjer Programa edukacije u zajednici realizovanog tokom 2024. godine u Tuzlanskom kantonu.
Uvod Odnos zdravstvenog radnika i pacijenta je jedan od ključnih elemenata za uspješan medicinski tretman i dijagnostiku. Mnoge studije pokazuju da „meke vještine“ direktno utiču na zadovoljstvo pacijenta, ali i zdravstvenog radnika. Tokom studija pored teoretskog i praktičnog znanja iz medicine, od izuzetne je važnosti da budući ljekari dobiju i edukaciju o komunikacijskim vještinama i empatiji, kako bi briga prema pacijentima bila zadovoljavajuća. Međutim, u obrazovnom sistemu često teme, kao što su komunikacija, saopštavanje teških vijesti i empatija, izostaju iz nastavnih planova i programa. Cilj Cilj je istražiti stavove studenata medicine o značaju empatije i komunikacije u okviru zdravstvene struke, te da se analizira da li su tematske cjeline „empatija“ i „komunikacija“ sadržane u postojećem studijskom programu na Medicinskom fakultetu Univerziteta u Tuzli.
OBJECTIVE Brain health is essential for overall well-being, yet its determinants vary across regions due to geopolitical, cultural, and socioeconomic factors. Southeastern Europe (SEE) faces unique challenges that influence brain health outcomes. Addressing brain health in this region requires tailored approaches that consider the complexity and diversity of these factors. This paper reports on a region-specific framework for addressing brain health challenges in SEE by identifying key determinants through expert collaboration and evidence-based analysis. METHODS In 2023, a Brain Health Task Force convened in Ohrid, North Macedonia, gathering input from brain health experts across 13 SEE countries and individuals with lived dementia experience. The Task Force focused on the World Health Organization (WHO) brain health determinants, integrating expert feedback with a literature review and a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis. A scoring system was developed, and the results were visualized through thematic maps, highlighting brain health performance variations across the region. RESULTS The initial findings reveal significant disparities in SWOT across 25 WHO subdomains of brain health determinants among the 13 SEE countries. Kosovo and Bosnia & Herzegovina scored overall lower (greater weaknesses and threats), while Slovenia and Serbia exhibited stronger outcomes (greater strengths and opportunities). The thematic maps provide a visual representation of these differences, underscoring the diverse challenges and opportunities for brain health across the SEE region. CONCLUSIONS These findings provide a foundation for further examination of brain health in SEE, guiding policy and strategic interventions, addressing stigma, and fostering cross-sectoral, crossborder, and interregional collaboration.
The widespread deployment of photovoltaic (PV) systems in urban areas poses new challenges for integration into the low-voltage grid, operation under variable meteorological conditions, and the impact of local disturbances. Research using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations, especially techniques with physically present controllers (Controller Hardware-in-the Loop - C-HIL), represents a powerful environment for testing and validating power electronics-based converter control strategies in real-world conditions without the risks and costs associated with field experiments. This paper presents the application of C-HIL simulation to analyze and optimize the operation of a home PV system integrated into an urban distribution grid. The conducted case studies address operational scenarios such as rapid changes in solar radiation, load fluctuations, and voltage disturbances, demonstrating the effectiveness of the C-HIL platform for assessing dynamic performance, voltage quality, and stability. The results confirm that C-HIL simulation can provide useful insights for the design of PV systems aimed at the safe and widespread deployment of distributed renewable energy sources in urban networks.

Digital violence, online violence, cyberbullying, cyber violence, grooming, violence supported by the use of digital technologies, sexting, electronic violence, internet violence – these are all synonyms used for certain forms of violence which are created through the use of digital technologies. They can take place on social or computer networks, various internet platforms, messaging applications or gaming platforms. It happens most often with the use of mobile phones or other computer devices. This type of violence includes various forms of behaviour such as spreading falsehoods, publishing photos and other personal data and content without the consent of the person, sending threatening messages through platforms, impersonating or sending message with inappropriate content, sexual exploitation od children etc. All the listed behaviours have a common tendency to repeat themselves for a shorter or longer period of time and most often they aim to intimidate, provoke anger, harm the personal integrity or sexually harass the person who is attacked. Live violence often occurs alongside on the internet, with the fact that the differences in the method and quality of court evidence are very pronounced. There is a large dark figure of digital violence precisely because of digital evidence are difficult to detect and prove, but also the legal regulations that need to be supplemented in good part, especially in the procedural part with new normative solutins.
Après cinq ans de fermeture de son parcours d’exposition permanent, le Te Fare Iamanaha – Musée de Tahiti et des Îles rouvre ses portes en mars 2023. Repenser le projet muséographique et de médiation d’un musée qui avait été conçu dans les années 1970 questionnait les modes de transmission des savoirs, au cœur de sa mission. Ainsi, la variété culturelle des communautés des archipels de Polynésie française et leur demande de meilleure visibilité a été au cœur du projet muséographique. La médiation scientifique a été également confrontée à la grande diversité des publics attendus au sein de l’unique institution publique muséale de ce vaste territoire, tout en gardant le fil conducteur du projet d’établissement : construire un musée « par des Polynésiens, pour les Polynésiens ». Outils, expériences et premiers retours illustrent les innovations, les limites et les perspectives qui entrent en jeu dans un tel projet.
Si les techniques de tressage d’éventails anciens de Polynésie française ne sont plus mises en œuvre aujourd’hui, les musées conservent un certain nombre d’exemplaires de ces objets. En mettant en place, au sein de Te Fare Iamanaha–Musée de Tahiti et des Îles, une recherche collaborative et pluridisciplinaire au service de la reconstitution de ces techniques, le projet Rara’a a notamment révélé les enjeux fondamentaux de la transmission des savoir-faire, à l’épreuve du passé et de questionnements contemporains. Les musées apparaissent ainsi comme des espaces propices au dialogue entre art, science et société.

The research was conducted on a sample of N=1850 students from the 2nd to the 5th grade of elementary school, of which there were N=989 (53%) male respondents and N=861 (47%) female respondents. The research aimed to determine the differences in morphological characteristics and motor abilities between boys and girls from the 2nd to the 5th grade of elementary school. The descriptive statistical method and the t-test for independent samples were applied from the statistical methods. The statistical program for personal computers, SPSS for Windows version 22, was used for data processing. Analyzing the results of morphological characteristics, it was determined that boys have a higher body mass index (BMI) and skin fold on the back (subscapular) than girls. No differences were found in the skin fold of the upper arm (triceps) and the skin folds on the abdomen (suprailiac). Analyzing the results of motor skills, it was determined that boys are better at reaching in a squat (flexibility), lying/squatting (trunk strength), and resisting in a push-up (functional strength). At the same time, girls are better at the standing long jump (explosive leg strength) and hand strength (static strength). All the mentioned tests were statistically significant at the level of less than 1% (p
