Interview with Margareta Kern: Gastarbeiterinnen as an Anticipation of the Modern Labour Market: Including the Voices from the Night Shift
The 1990s: Struggling for the Context
Devedesete su godine u Hrvatskoj period sveopÄeg opravljanja od ratne traume, ali i vrlo akutnih problema na svim druÅ”tveno-politiÄkim razinama. Period je to (re)formiranja likovne scene, konstruiranja identiteta nove mlade generacije aktera likovne scene, legitimiziranja umjetniÄkog stvaralaÅ”tva proteklih generacija uspostavljanjem paralela izmeÄu nove generacije i njihovih prethodnika, ali i period opstruiranja slobode izražavanja i kritiÄkog miÅ”ljenja. Za iduÄe desetljeÄe izrazito važnu ulogu imat Äe formiranje tzv. "nezavisne" scene, tj. angažiranih umjetniÄkih praksi

Novel H1N1 influenza in neonates: from mild to fatal disease
Analysis of pediatric deaths associated with pandemic A H1N1 influenza shows that fatal outcome is more likely in young children, under the age of 5. Neonates, because of the immaturity of their immune system, could represent a high-risk group for severe disease and fatal outcome. We present a group of five neonates with confirmed novel influenza A H1N1 infection. This report indicates that the full spectrum of influenza A H1N1 infection ranging from mild febrile illness with spontaneous recovery to severe disease with fatal outcome may be expected even in neonates.

Genetski polimorfizam i utjecaj na proizvodnju mlijeka CSN2 gena u konvencionalnim i lokalnim pasminama goveda u Hrvatskoj
Over the past three decades, the scientific and public interest has been initiated by studies in which the negative effect of milk consumption of beta-casein A1 variant has been observed on consumersā health. The production of "A2 milk" is one of the ways to economically increase the competitiveness of small and medium-sized dairy farms. Breeders of endangered local breeds are also interested in reaffirmation through production of āA2 milkā. The aim of this study is to determine frequencies of A1 and A2 variants of beta-casein in three commercial and three local breeds of cattle in Croatia, and their relationship with production indicators of commercial breeds in the first three lactations. The genomic DNA was extracted from hair by using a commercial kit, used for determination of CSN2 genotypes by means of PCRRFLP method. Data for milk yield and chemical composition were provided by the central database. The dominant presence of A2 variant beta-casein in the investigated cattle breeds (0.650-0.758) and the increase in the frequency of A2 beta-casein in the population of Simmental and Istrian cattle were determined. The association of A2A2 and A1A1 genotypes of beta-casein with lactation production and milk fat content in the first and second lactation was observed (p <0.05). The dominance of the A2 allelic variation of beta-casein makes the researched conventional and local breeds suitable for the production of "A2 milk. The breeding extension of A2 allelic variation of beta-casein within local breeds of cattle should be carried out carefully not to lose part of the existing genetic variability.Tijekom protekla tri desetljeÄa interes znanstvene i ukupne javnosti (potroÅ”aÄa) potaknut je studijama u kojima je zapažen negativan uÄinak konzumacije mlijeka u kojem je A1 varijanta beta-kazeina na zdravlje potroÅ”aÄa. Proizvodnja āA2 mlijekaā jedan je od naÄina gospodarskog poveÄanja kompetitivnosti manjih i srednjih mlijeÄnih farmi. UzgajivaÄi ugroženih lokalnih pasmina takoÄer su zainteresirani za reafirmaciju kroz proizvodnju āA2 mlijekaā. Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi frekvencije A1 i A2 varijanti beta-kazeina u konvencionalnim i lokalnim pasminama goveda u Hrvatskoj, te njihovu povezanost s proizvodnim pokazateljima konvencionalnih pasmina u prve tri laktacije. Genomska DNK izolirana koriÅ”tenjem komercijalnog kita za izolaciju upotrijebljena je za PCR RFLP determinaciju CSN2 genotipova. Podaci o mlijeÄnosti i kemijskom sastavu mlijeka u promatranom uzorku preuzeti su iz srediÅ”nje baze podataka. UtvrÄena je dominantna zastupljenost A2 varijante beta-kazeina u istraženim pasminama goveda (0,650-0,758) te poveÄanje frekvencije A2 beta-kazeina u populaciji simentalskog i istarskog goveda. Zapažena je povezanost A2A2 i A1A1 genotipa beta-kazeina s laktacijskom proizvodnjom i udjelom mlijeÄne masti u prvoj i drugoj laktaciji (p<0,05). Dominacija A2 alelne varijante beta-kazeina Äini pogodnim istražene konvencionalne i lokalne pasmine za proizvodnju āA2 mlijekaā. Uzgojno protežiranje A2 alelne varijante beta-kazeina unutar lokalnih pasmina goveda treba provoditi pažljivo kako ne bi izgubili dio zateÄene genetske varijabilnosti
Monitoring of chlorides and sulphates concentrations in the wells B-17 and B-18 water supply Vinogradi near Osijek
VodocrpiliÅ”te Vinogradi nalazi se zapadno od grada Osijeka koje vodom snabdjeva stanovnike grada Osijeka i okolnih naselja. KakvoÄa vode koja se zahvaÄa iz 18 bunara, kontinuirano je pod nadzorom. Monitoring kakvoÄe podzemne vode vodocrpiliÅ”ta Vinogradi, na mikrobioloÅ”ke i fizikalno-kemijske parametre, provodi se jednom mjeseÄno. ViÅ”egodiÅ”njim praÄenjem utvrÄena je ujednaÄena kakvoÄa podzemne vode kod veÄine bunara vodocrpiliÅ”ta, osim kod uzoraka vode iz bunara B-17 i B-18 kod kojih su utvrÄene poviÅ”ene koncentracije klorida i sulfata. U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati analiza kakvoÄe podzemne vode bunara B-17 i B- 18 vodocrpiliÅ”ta Vinogradi u razdoblju od 2011. do 2016. godine koji pokazuju oscilacije i poveÄane koncentracije klorida i sulfata tijekom ispitivanog razdoblja. Ipak, utvrÄene vrijednosti i dalje su u granicama dozvoljenih vrijednosti prema Pravilniku o parametrima sukladnosti i metodama analize vode za ljudsku potroÅ”nju (NN 125/13).Vinogradi water well field is located in the west of the town of Osijek, and represents the source of drinking water for population of the town of Osijek. The quality of groundwater drilled from 18 wells is under continuous monitoring and implies one-month determination of microbiological and physicochemical parameters. The results of the analysis showed that the quality of groundwater taken from wells is mostly the same, except for the groundwater taken from wells B-17 and B-18 in which oscillation and heightened sulphate and chloride concentrations were detected. This paper presents the values of sulphate and chloride concentrations detected in groundwater samples taken from wells B-17 and B-18 during the period 2011- 2016. The results show the oscillation of chloride and sulphate concentrations with increasing trend from 2013 to 2016. Although elevated, detected concentrations of sulphate and chlorides are still lower than maximum permissible concentration set by Croatian regulations
