U potrazi za „ muškim modelom “ – stavovi odgajateljica o muškim odgajateljima

Ovaj rad istražuje percepciju odgajateljica o iskustvu rada s muškim odgajateljima, dobrobiti muškarca odgajatelja unutar profesije kao i viđenje prisutnosti „muškog modela“. Odgajateljsku profesiju nastoji se sagledati iz rodne perspektive, odnosno dobiti uvid o stanju rodne ravnoteže u ranom i predškolskom odgoju i obrazovanju. Tijekom travnja i svibnja 2018. godine provedeno je anketno istraživanje i to na području Kastva, Matulja, Opatije i Rijeke te je obuhvatilo dječje vrtiće: „Vladimir Nazor“, privatni vrtić „Poneštrica“, dječji vrtić „Matulji“, dječji vrtić „Opatija“ te dječji vrtić „Rijeka“, odnosno centri predškolskog odgoja „Zamet“ i „Maestral“. Populacija ispitanika su odgajateljice, a veličina ciljanog uzorka je 160. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako polovina odgajateljica nema iskustvo rada s muškim odgajateljem te da su muškarci i dalje premalo zastupljeni u ranom i predškolskom odgoju i obrazovanju. Odgajateljice koje imaju iskustvo rada s muškim odgajateljem preporučile bi suradnju s muškim odgajateljima. Međutim, što su odgajateljice naklonjenije tradicionalnoj podjeli poslova unutar odgojno - obrazovnog rada, njihov je stav prema suradnji s muškim odgajateljima negativniji. S druge strane, odgajateljice koje nemaju iskustva rada s muškim odgajateljem, također bi preporučile suradnju, iz čega proizlazi da iskustvo nije presudno u formiranju stavova o suradnji.Foundation of this reasearch explores the perception of female preschool teachers about the experience of working with male preschool teachers, the well-being of male educators within the profession and the presence of the "male role model". The early childhood care and education profession is trying to look from a gender perspective, or to gain insight into the state of gender balance in early and preschool upbringing and education. During April and May 2018 a survey was carried out on the areas of Kastav, Matulji, Opatija and Rijeka and included kindergartens:"Vladimir Nazor", the private kindergarten "Poneštrica", "Matulji" kindergarten, the kindergarten "Opatija" as well as the kindergarten "Rijeka", ie centers of preschool education "Zamet" and "Maestral". The population of the respondents are female preschool teachers, and the size of the target sample is 160. The results of the research showed that almost half of the female preschool teachers did not have the experience of working with male preschool teacheres and that men were still under-represented in early and pre-school upbringing and education. Female preschool teachers who have worked with male preschool teachers would recommend cooperation with them. However, as female preschool teachers favor the traditional division of jobs within the early chidhood care and education, their attitude towards cooperation with male preschool teacher is more negative. On the other hand, female preschool teachers who do not have the experience of working with a male preschool teachers would also recommend co-operation, which suggests that experience is not crucial in forming attidudes about co-operation

Melasma – Updated Treatments

Melasma is a common, acquired facial skin disorder, mostly involving sun-exposed areas like cheeks, forehead and upper lip. Melasma occurs in both sexes, although almost 90 percent of the affected are women. It is more common in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI) especially Hispanics/Latinos, Asians and African-Americans. The onset of the melasma is at puberty or later, with exception of darker skin types, who tend to develop this problem in the first decade of life. The etiology is still unknown, although there are a number of triggering factors related to the onset of melasma. The most important are sun-exposure and genetic factors in both sexes, while hormonal activity has more important role in females. In addition, stress and some cosmetic products and drugs containing phototoxic agents can cause outbreaks of this condition. Melasma should be treated using monotherapies or combination of therapy, mainly fixed triple or dual combinations containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, corticosteroids or azelaic acid. Modified Kligman’s formula is also very effective. Above mentioned therapy regimens in combination with UVA and UVB blocking sunscreens are mostly effective in epidermal melasma. Discontinuation of the use of birth control pills, scented cosmetic products, and phototoxic drugs coupled with UV protection are also benefitial in clearing of melasma. Alternative treatment including chemical peels and glicolic acid, seem to have the best result as a second line treatment after bleaching creams. Laser treatments show limited efficacy and should rarely be used in the treatment of melasma. Combining topical agents like hydroquinone, tretinoin and a corticosteroid in addition to sun avoidance, regular use of sunscreen throughout the year and patient education is the best treatment in this difficult to treat condition

Biološki aktivni faktori sojinog proteinskog izolata dobijenog iz hidrotermički tretiranog lomljenog zrna

The influence of the treatment duration and steam pressure on inactivation of biologically active components is presented in this paper. Steaming of cracked soya bean grains used for the protein isolate preparation of efficiently inactivated trypsin inhibitors (TI). Residual activity of Kunitz inhibitor was only detected (2.59-1.70%). The most suitable properties for utilisation in food technology were found for soya bean protein isolate (SPI) prepared from cracked soya bean grains hydrothermally treated for 10 minutes, using steam pressure of 1.5 bar. Such SPI contained 12.34% of residual TI activity, and compared to the untreated sample it contained similar levels of lectin (0.29%) and phytic acid (1.88%).Primena soje i proizvoda na bazi proteina soje ograničena je prisustvom komponenti sa antinutritivnim dejstvom, poput inhibitora proteinaza fitinske kiseline, lektina. Prisustvo ovih komponenti prouzrokovalo je potrebu za iznalaženjem optimalnih rešenja za poboljšanje kvaliteta proizvoda od proteina soje. Cilj ovog rada bio je da se ispita uticaj na promenu aktivnosti biološki aktivnih komponenti proteinskog izolata lomljenog sojinog zrna nakon produvavanja vodenom parom (pri nadpritisku 0,5 bar) u kraćim vremenskim intervalima (5, 10 i 15 minuta). Nakon primenjenog hidrotermičkog tretmana zapaženo je znatno smanjenje tripsin inhibitorske aktivnosti (TIA) sa 72,34% za netretirani proteinski izolat na 6,55% za izolat nakon 15-ominutnog tretmana, pri čemu je nosilac TIA Kunitz-ov tripsin inhibitor (TI) (2,59-1,70%), dok je Bowman-Birk-ov inhibitor registrovan samo kod izolata od netretiranog lomljenjog sojinog zrna (3,92%). SDS elektroforezom je ustanovljena promena u prisustvu lektina kod izolata dobijenih od tretiranih uzoraka (0,77-0,21%) u poređenju sa izolatom dobijenog od netretiranog zrna (1,96%). Rezultati ukazuju da sadržaji ukupnog rastvorljivog fosfora (11,35-5,96 mg P/g), fitinskog fosfora (1,09-0,53%) i fitinske kiseline (1,88-3,87%) pri ovako kratkotrajnim tretmanima (5, 10 i 15 min) nisu u direktnoj zavisnosti od dužine tretmana

Myositis-specific autoantibodies in a non-traveler, patient from a non-endemic country, with Plasmodium vivax malaria

Introduction: Autoantibodies (AAb) are a hallmark of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Malaria is a parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium protozoa. Individuals with malaria may present with a wide range of symptoms. It is frequently linked to the development of different AAb.Case description: A 35-year-old male presented with repeated episodes of fever, malaise, myalgia, dark urine, and yellowish sclera. Initial diagnostic workup revealed severe Coombs-positive anemia, increased C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin, pathological liver tests, high concentration of serum IgE, IgG, IgM, IgA, positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA), and positive antineutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies (ANCA). In addition, myositis-specific antibodies directed to polymiositis-scleroderma 75 protein (PmScl75), threonyl-tRNA synthetase (PL-7), alanyl-tRNA synthetase (PL-12), Mi-2 antigen (Mi-2), Ku DNA helicase complex (Ku), signal recognition particle (SRP), and antiaminoacyl tRNA synthetase (EJ) were detected. The patient was suspected of having systemic lupus erythematosus and sent to the Clinic of Allergy and Immunology for further evaluation and treatment. A peripheral blood film examined by the hematologist during an episode of fever revealed intra-erythrocytic parasitic forms of Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax). After being diagnosed with P. vivax malaria, he was transferred to the Clinic for Infective and Tropical Diseases. The therapy consisted of artesunate/mefloquine and prednisone led to a complete clinical recovery and autoantibodies gradually disappeared.Conclusions: Malaria would not normally be considered during the initial diagnostic workup in a non-traveler and a patient from a non-endemic country. However, a thorough parasitic evaluation in patients presenting with a broad range of autoantibodies might be of particular importance
