The Integration of Psychodynamic Theories and Biological Aspects in the Development of Anxiety and Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is a normal human reaction to stressful and threatening events in their surroundings, but if it does not correlate with inducible stimulus with respect to intensity and duration and if it permanently impairs a personās ability to function normally, then we are dealing with pathological anxiety, that is to say, a symptom of one of the anxiety disorders classified in 9th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), or in American Psychiatric Association, DSM-IV classification. We may consider the aetiology of anxiety from psychodynamic, biological and neuroscientific aspect. Finally, certain genes have been located, the variability of which in the expression of āvisceral brainā neurons modulates remembrance of fear and somatic reactions to anxiety. These genes also represent the potential focal points for future pharmacotherapeutic solutions for the treatment of anxiety and anxiety-connected psychic disorders
The Influence of Market Risk on Share Price Trends in the Republic of Croatia
Market risk is the risk of macroeconomic factors that significantly affect all companies and all investments to varying degrees. This risk cannot be reduced or eliminated because it is affected by external factors such as; inflation, political events, terrorist attacks, interest rates, not affected by diversification. Market risk is most often calculated through the expected rate of return on investment in the CAPM model, where it is expressed by the Beta coefficient. This paper deals with the impact of market risk on stock return rates. The sample of research in this paper are the shares of several companies within the CROBEX10 index of the Zagreb Stock Exchange. Attention is paid to the semi-annual calculations of the beta coefficient and the required rates of return. In addition to the semi-annual ones, the annual and three-year calculations of one selected joint stock company will be presented
Psychotherapy of Depressions
O psihoterapijskom pristupu u lijeÄenju depresije
postoji relativno malen broj navoda u znanstvenoj literaturi.
U ovom radu pokuŔalo se sustavno sagledati problem
psihoterapije depresije, prikazom individualnog, grupnog i
kombiniranog, farmakoterapijsko-psihoterapijskog pristupa u
lijeÄenju ovog psihiÄkog poremeÄaja. Definiran je problem
depresije s glediŔta psihodinamske psihijatrije, no opisane su
i ostale (kognitivne i bihevioralne) koncepcije u razumijevanju
depresije. Ujedno su prikazana i novija neuroznanstveno-psihoanalitiÄka
promiŔljanja o psihoterapiji i njezinu mjestu u
suvremenome znanstvenom pristupu psihijatriji.
Usprkos mnogim metodoloÅ”kim teÅ”koÄama, psihoterapija je
važan aspekt u lijeÄenju depresije. Posebno je važan zajedniÄki
farmakoterapijski i psihoterapijski pristup koji je u
veÄem broju kliniÄkih istraživanja pokazao svoje vrijednosti.
ZakljuÄno, psihoterapijski pristup može se ravnopravno nositi
s farmakoloÅ”kim metodama lijeÄenja jer u krajnjem ishodu
nema, prema metaanalitiÄkim studijama, znaÄajnijih terapijskih
razlika.The scientific literature contains a relatively
small number of quotes about the psychotherapeutic approach
to the treatment of depression. In this article we tried to
address the psychotherapy of depression systematically by
demonstrating individual, group and combined pharmaco-psychotherapeutic
approaches to the treatment of this psychic
disorder. Depression is defined from the point of view of psychodynamic
psychiatry; however, other approaches (cognitive
and behavioural) to understanding of depression have been
also described. The article also shows the recent neuroscientific-
psychoanalytic approaches to psychotherapy and its role
in a modern scientific approach to psychiatry.
Despite many methodological difficulties, psychotherapy represents
a significant aspect of depression treatment. A joint
pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic approach, whose
value was confirmed in a number of clinical trials, is especially
important. Finally, psychotherapy is as good as pharmacological
therapies because, as meta-analytic studies shows,
there are no significant therapeutic differences in final treatment

Artefaktni dermatitis: prikaz sluÄaja
Automutilating behavior is becoming ever more frequent in patients seeking dermatologic care. Psychocutaneous disorders encompass a wide range of dermatologic conditions, all of which have in common the important role of psychological factors. Dermatitis artefacta syndrome is characterized by unconscious self-injury behavior, while dermatitis para-artefacta syndrome is labeled with manipulation of an existing specific dermatosis. Consciously stimulated injuries with the purpose of obtaining material gain is known as malingering. Here we present a 20-year-old female patient with a sudden pain and an oval, yellowish skin defect on her left lower leg, 3x3.5 cm in diameter, with an erythematous, clearly defined border, surrounded by erythematous, painful skin resembling pyoderma gangrenosum. The patient had a clinically typical skin presentation but with atypical therapeutic outcome. The diagnosis of dermatitis artefacta was made. Liaison psychiatry can reaffirm the diagnosis of dermatitis artefacta and provide necessary psychopharmacotherapy and psychotherapy.SamoozljeÄivajuÄe ponaÅ”anje postaje uÄestalije kod bolesnika koji traže dermatoloÅ”ku skrb. Psihokutani poremeÄaji obuhvaÄaju Å”irok raspon dermatoloÅ”kih stanja kojima je zajedniÄka važna uloga psiholoÅ”kih Äimbenika. Sindrom artefaktnog dermatitisa je obilježen nesvjesnim samoozljeÄivanjem, dok sindrom paraartefaktnog dermatitisa oznaÄava manipulaciju odreÄene postojeÄe dermatoze. Svjesno izazivanje ozljede u svrhu stjecanja materijalne koristi smatra se simuliranjem. Ovdje prikazujemo sluÄaj 20-godiÅ”nje bolesnice s iznenadnom boli i ovalnim, žuÄkastim defektom kože na lijevoj potkoljenici, 3x3,5 cm u promjeru, s eritematoznim, jasno ograniÄenim rubom, okruženim eritematoznom, bolnom kožom, Å”to podsjeÄa na piodermu gangrenozum. Bolesnica je imala kliniÄki tipiÄan prikaz kože, ali s atipiÄnim terapijskim ishodom. Postavljena je dijagnoza artefaktnog dermatitisa. Liason psihijatrija može potvrditi dijagnozu artefaktnog dermatitisa i omoguÄiti potrebnu psihofarmakoloÅ”ku terapiju i psihoterapiju

Activities and games in Halliwick concept of swimming
Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je objasniti i opisati aktivnosti i igre koje se provode u Halliwick konceptu plivanja. Ovaj koncept namijenjen je uÄenju plivanja svih ljudi, a osobito djeci i osobama s intelektualnim teÅ”koÄama i tjelesnim invaliditetom. U radu su iznesene osnovne znaÄajke koncepta te utjecaj njegovog provoÄenja na motoriÄki, psiholoÅ”ki i socijalni razvoj djeteta. Opisan je program deset toÄaka koji je temelj Halliwick koncepta i navedeni su kriteriji koje plivaÄi moraju savladati za dobivanje Halliwick znaÄaka. U svakoj aktivnosti i igri objaÅ”njeno je kroz koju toÄku plivaÄi prolaze te kojoj Halliwick znaÄki izvedba pripada. Detaljno je opisan i prikazan poÄetni i zavrÅ”ni položaj, naÄin na koji plivaÄ inicira odreÄenju kretnju, položaj pomagaÄa u odnosu na plivaÄa, potpora koju mu pruža i formacije u kojima se aktivnosti mogu provoditi. Svaka igra koju plivaÄi izvode pozitivno utjeÄe i rjeÅ”ava jedan od problema s kojim se susreÄu u vodi, ali i u svakodnevnom životu te Äe razumijevanje takvog koncepta rada te opÅ”irniji opis aktivnosti olakÅ”ati rad i ubrzati njihov napredak.The objective of this thesis is to explain and describe the activities and games applied in the Halliwick concept of swimming. This concept can be used in teaching swimming to all people, but in particular to people with physical and/or learning difficulties. This paper contains the basics of Halliwick concept and how it affects the physical, personal and social growth and development of a child. The Ten Points Programme is the focus of the Halliwick concept and each game is explained in this paper. Also, it describes the Halliwick's badges and the criteria that swimmers must satisfy to acquire them. Every activity and game in this thesis will have a description of a starting and an ending position, the way the swimmer initiates a certain movement in water, the position of the assistant in relation to the swimmer, the support that assistant provides to the swimmer and the formations in which the activities can be performed. Every game that swimmers perform positively affects their health and solves one of the problems they face in water, but also in everyday life. In compliance to that, better understanding of this concept and more detailed description of activities can make the training of the swimmers easier and speed up their progress
IDF REMCAT metoda za odreÄivanje jaÄine sirila
U dalekoj proÅ”losti bilo je uobiÄajeno da proizvoÄaÄi sira pripremaju sami, za svoje potrebe sirilo a dobivali su ga ekstrakcijom teleÄih želudaca. Kontrola sastava i kvalitete ekstrakta nije postojala. MeÄutim, od trenutka kada se sirilo poÄelo proizvoditi i komercijalizirati u industrijskom mjerilu, iskazala se potreba mjerenja jaÄine sirila zbog procjene njegove ekonomske vrijednosti
