Minorías religiosas y política estatal en la Yugoslavia comunista: hacia metodologías alternativas de investigación
En este artículo, se presenta por primera vez una investigación académica sobre las minorías religiosas en la antigua Yugoslavia basada en los archivos de la policía secreta. Al contrario que en otros países de Europa del Este, el acceso a los archivos de la policía secreta en la antigua Yugoslavia sigue siendo muy limitado. Basándome investigación etnográfca y de archivo realizada en Serbia, argumento que las minorías religiosas constituyen un gran objeto de estudio para analizar las relaciones entre el estado y los grupos religiosos durante el período comunista. Este es especialmente el caso de los nazarenos pacifstas y los adventistas del séptimo día, debido a su trabajo misionero y sus redes internacionales y transnacionales. Este artículo propone el uso de archivos privados para contrarrestar el limitado acceso a archivos estatalesThis paper presents the first attempt to review the possibility of using secret police archives as
a source for scholarly research on religious minorities in the former Yugoslavia. Unlike in other Eastern European countries, access to the secret police archives in former Yugoslavia is still very limited. Based on archival and ethnographic research conducted in Serbia, I argue that religious minorities represent a valuable resource for analysing relations between the state and religious groups during the communist period. This is especially true with regards to the pacifist Nazarenes and Seventh Day Adventists, because of their international and transnational networks and missionary work. This paper will address the possibilities of using private archives as a possible way in overcoming limited access to some of the state archival source
Dystocia as a cause of untimely cesarean section
Background/Aim. One of the most frequent indications for cesarean section is dystocia. It is impossible to predict, difficult to identify and coincident with the rapid expiry of the expected time, so it is important to point out some mistakes in expecting vaginal delivery. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency and the length of dystociarelated cesarean delivery, as well as the vitality of the newborn immediately after birth. Methods. A prospective 3- year study was conducted including a total number of 6,470 deliveries regardless of whether they were completed using cesarean section after an unsuccessful attempt of spontaneous vaginal delivery or not. The Apgar score, a proved useful tool for the assessment of the vitality of newborn children in the first minute, was used. Results. On the basis of the established indications, 653 (10.10%) of deliveries were completed using cesarean section. Dystocia was the third most common indication for cesarean section (16.38%). Deliveries in which dystocia was established as a diagnosis lasted much longer (p = 0.030) which resulted in weaker vitality of newborn children (p = 0.000) compared to the deliveries ended by spontaneous vaginal delivery. Conclusion. This study shows that deliveries caused by dystocia last much longer and newborn children are of weaker vitality compared to other deliveries caused not by dystocia. Decisions concerning cesarean section must be made in a timely fashion
SEISMIC DAMAGE MITIGATION OF THE GLAZED BUILDING FACADE
Glass as a material in architecture and civil engineering represents a challenge, and it is often a material of choice for designers, used both for the the building interior elements as well as for cladding of building. The paper has addressed specifically the glazed curtain wall façades and the earthquake-induced issues related to them. A review of the standing standards and practice in this field are provided. The paper presents some of contemporary solutions for damage mitigation of glazed building envelopes caused by earthquakes, such as: solutions with clearances between glass and its frame, earthquake-isolated curtain wall system, modified geometry of glass corners and friction damping connectors

Analysis of the phenotypes in the Rett Networked Database
Rett spectrum disorder is a progressive neurological disease and the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability in females. MECP2 is the major causative gene. In addition, CDKL5 and FOXG1 mutations have been reported in Rett patients, especially with the atypical presentation. Each gene and different mutations within each gene contribute to variability in clinical presentation, and several groups worldwide performed genotype-phenotype correlation studies using cohorts of patients with classic and atypical forms of Rett spectrum disorder. The Rett Networked Database is a unified registry of clinical and molecular data of Rett patients, and it is currently one of the largest Rett registries worldwide with several hundred records provided by Rett expert clinicians from 13 countries. Collected data revealed that the majority of MECP2-mutated patients present with the classic form, the majority of CDKL5-mutated patients with the early-onset seizure variant, and the majority of FOXG1-mutated patients with the congenital form. A computation of severity scores further revealed significant differences between groups of patients and correlation with mutation types. The highly detailed phenotypic information contained in the Rett Networked Database allows the grouping of patients presenting specific clinical and genetic characteristics for studies by the Rett community and beyond. These data will also serve for the development of clinical trials involving homogeneous groups of patient
