Short animated film for youngerschool-aged children and ecological education

U ovome radu se govori o animiranom filmu kao dijelu medijske kulture i sredstvu prenošenja poruka (posebice onih ekoloških) i ekološkog odgoja kao potrebi i zadaći učitelja da ga integrira u sve odgojno-obrazovne procese. Svrha filmske naobrazbe je pomoći učeniku razviti humanistički svjetonazor po kojem će spontano postajati kritička, samokritička, stvaralački usklađena ličnost, korisna sebi, svojoj zajednici i svijetu u kojem živi. Ekološki odgoj također uključuje iste sadržaje. Diplomski rad se sastoji od dva dijela. Prvi dio je teorijski okvir o animiranome filmu i metodici nastave filma, te ulozi učitelja u ekološkom odgoju. Drugi dio rada je praktični rad s učenicima drugoga razreda osnovne škole. Učenici podijeljeni u skupine sudjeluju u radionici u kojoj uče kako nastaje animirani film, uče o problemima okoliša i snimaju vlastiti animirani film (GIF) na temu iz ekologije.This graduate thesis discusses animated film as a part of media culture and a mean of messages' transmission (especially ecological) and ecological education as the teacher's need and task to integrate it into all upbringing and educational processes. The purpose of film education is to help pupils (students) develop a humanistic world view by which they will spontaneously become critical, self-critical, creatively aligned personalities, useful to themselves, to their community and to the world in which they live. Ecological education also includes the same contents. The graduate thesis consists of two parts. The first part is the theoretical framework about animated film and its teaching methodology and the role of teacher in ecological education. The second part of the thesis is practical work with pupils of the second grade of elementary school. Pupils divided into groups participate in a workshop where they learn how to create an animated film, learn about environmental issues and record their own short animated film (using GIF - Graphic Interchange Format) on ecology topics

100 godina shizofrenija, razvoj nozološkog entiteta i psihopatologije

The history of schizophrenia is in essence the history of psychiatry. Although the term has been in use for one hundred years, patients diagnosed as schizophrenic today have been classified in other ways in the past. What is important is that they have always been identified as ill. In this text, I will look back a century and touch on the history of schizophrenia prior to that time. It is important to note that the author of this text works at the Psychiatry Clinic of the Sisters of Charity Hospital established on the foundations of its first director, Professor Josip Glaser, and his student Vladimir Hudolin. Josip Glaser was Eugen Bleuler’s student from the Zurich School of Psychiatry, which he introduced to our region. It is a great asset to have an institution in Croatia founded on the tradition of the classic German psychiatric school, which we, the younger generation, proudly practice today.Povijest shizofrenija je povijest psihijatrije uopće. Iako je termin shizofrenija u uporabi 100 godina, bolesnici kojima bi danas bila dijagnosticirana shizofrenija bili su tijekom povijesti opisivani na najrazličitije načine, ali bitno je da su uvijek bili prepoznavani kao bolesni. U ovom tekstu osvrnut ću se na jedno stoljeće unazad, uz tek dotaknutu povijest shizofrenija prije toga. Važno je ovdje napomenuti da pisac ovog teksta dolazi iz Klinike za psihijatriju KBC Sestre milosrdnice, klinike koja je stasala na temeljima prvog predstojnika profesora Josipa Glasera i njegova učenika Vladimira Hudolina. Neophodno je to istaknuti jer je Josip Glaser učenik Eugena Bleulera, odnosno Ciriške psihijatrijske škole koju je prenio u našu sredinu. Lijepo je imati i u Hrvatskoj ustanovu koja je nastala na tradiciji klasične njemačke psihijatrijske škole koju mi, mlađi naraštaji, danas s ponosom baštinimo

Application of autochthonous plant species in urban landscape

U tradicionalnom uređenju gradskih prostora dugo je vremena bila uobičajena uporaba relativno ograničenog broja biljnih vrsta. Novi trendovi upućuju na mogućnosti primjene autohtonih biljnih vrsta čak i na repre-zentativnim gradskim prostorima oponašanjem prirodnog biljnog pokrova. Autohtone biljne vrste bolje su prilagođene uvjetima staništa, a njihovo održavanje je jeftinije. Njihovom primjenom doprinosi se očuvanju biološke i krajobrazne raznolikosti, što je značajno jer se ponekad radi o, na prirodnim staništima, ugroženim i zaštićenim biljnim vrstama. Takva je vrsta širokolisna veprina, Ruscus hypoglossum L. U prirodi je na većini staništa ugrožena zbog toga što je cvjećari skupljaju kao zelenilo za aranžmane. Radi se o vrlo dekorativnoj vrsti pogodnoj za sadnju na zasjenjenim mjestima kako u vrtu tako i na zelenim gradskim površinama.In traditional urban landscaping the use of a relatively small number of plant species was common for a long time. New trends indicate a possible use of autochthonous plant species even in representative urban green areas by imitating natural vegetation layout. Autochthonous plant species adapt better to the site conditions and the maintenance costs are lower. By the use of native species, biological and landscape diversity is preserved, which is very important especially if the species are endangered or protected in their natural habitats. Such species is Ruscus hypoglossum L., endangered in most of its natural habitats because it is collected by florists and used as greenery for flower arrangements. It is a highly ornamental species suitable for planting in shaded places in gardens as well as in urban green areas

Pulpal Response to Direct Pulp Capping with Collagen Bioresorbable Membrane

Ispitivalo se je djelovanje kolagena na zubnu pulpu i njegova moguća uporaba u dentalnoj patologiji. Pokusi su izvedeni na psima mješancima. Oni su bili anestezirani, a zubi izolirani gumenom plahticom. S bukalne su strane na dva gornja i donja sjekutića svih životinja izrađeni klasični kaviteti petoga razreda i trepanirana je pulpna komorica. U jednoj je skupini zuba na pulpnu ranu stavljena bioresorbirajuća kolagena membrana, u drugoj sterilni teflonski disk, a u trećoj su kaviteti zatvoreni samo Ketac-Silver cementom. Kaviteti su u prvim dvjema skupinama trajno zatvoreni Ketac-Silver cementom. Nakon šest tjedana zubi su izvađeni i priređeni za histološku obradbu. Histološka slika pripravka tretiranih samim Ketac Silver cementom pokazala je potpunu nekrozu tkiva, a građa pulpe histološki se nije dala razaznati. Od osam pripravaka tretiranih teflonskim diskovima dva su pokazala potpunu nekrozu, a na šest se vidio djelomičan gubitak morfološke građe. Na pripravcima tretiranim kolagenim bioresorbirajućim membranama pulpno je tkivo u većoj mjeri sačuvalo vitalitet i morfologiju. Opažena je pojačana prokrvljenost i porast broja krvožilnih elemenata. Ni na jednom se pripravku nije opazilo stvaranje dentinskoga reparatornog mosta.The study evaluates the effect of collagen bioresorbable membrane as a pulp capping material. Experiments were carried out on mongrel dogs. The dogs were anesthetized and teeth were isolated by rubber dum. In all animals, along the buccal side, class V cavities were prepared on two maxillary and mandibular incisors. The pulp chambers were exposed and bioresorbable collagen membrane Bio Gide was placed on the pulp wound in the first group of the teeth. In the second group the pulp wound was covered with a sterile Teflon disk and in the third group the cavities were closed by Ketac-Silver cementum only. The cavities in the first two groups of teeth were permanently closed by Ketac-Silver cementum. After six weeks the specimen teeth were extracted and prepared for histological examination. The histological findings of the specimens treated only with Ketac-Silver cementum showed complete necrosis of the pulp tissue. Two samples treated with Teflon disks showed complete necrosis of the pulp, while on six samples partial loss of morphologic structure could be seen. On the specimens treated with collagen bioresorbable membranes the pulp tissue preserved its vitality to a much greater extent. Particularly noticeable was a better blood supply in the pulp, with an increased number of blood vessels. The creation of a reparatory bridge was not noticed in any of the tested samples

Cytochrome p4502D6 and serotonin transporter polymorphism in patient with bipolar disorder type II

Bipolar disorder can manifest itself for years with recurring depressive episodes before the first manic, hypomanic or mixed episode occurs. The depressive episode of the bipolar disorder thus frequently remains unrecognised and misdiagnosed as a major depressive disorder and therefore gets inadequately treated with antidepressant monotherapy. This paper reports a case of a patient with bipolar disorder type II, who was treated for several years as a major depressive disorder and failed to show a therapeutic response to antidepressants from the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The first manic episode occurred in the course of treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Pharmacogenetic analysis has shown that the patient was an ultra-rapid metabolizer of drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 2D6, and also had a serotonin transporter s/s genotype. Results of the analysis helped in determining the optimal psychopharmacotherapy for manic and depressive episodes of the bipolar disorder. The paper also discuses a possible serotonin transporter genotype impact to the course and the clinical presentation of the disease

Influence of Frying Time and Addition of Rice Starch on Oil Uptake and Textural Properties of Fried Coated Chicken Meat

Rice starch in shares of 6, 8 and 10 % was used as replacement for eggs in the coating mixtures used for coating of meat before frying. After frying of meat at 170 0C for 4, 6 and 8 minutes, effects of frying time and addition of starch on oil uptake and meat texture were evaluated. Instrumental texture analysis of fried coated chicken meat was conducted, as well as Soxhlet method for determining of oil content in samples. Statistical analysis of relevant texture properties of fried meat was performed. Hardness of fried meat samples decreased with increase of the starch content in mixture. Elasticity of meat increased as a result of coatings water holding capability and consequent prevention of meat drying. Oil content in samples coated with mixtures containing rice starch decreased with increase of starch share. Optimal frying time was 6 minutes, which with 10 % of mass share of rice starch produced samples with 35.54 % less oil
