Land Consolidation and Rural Development

Unapređenje sela i poljoprivredne proizvodnje nužan je proces u očuvanju ruralnog prostora za koji se deklarativno u Republici Hrvatskoj svi zalažu. Postojeće stanje sela i ruralnog prostora nije privlačno za mlade ljude i oni uglavnom napuštaju ta područja. Na selu prevladavaju staračka domaćinstva koja nisu u stanju unaprijediti poljoprivrednu proizvodnju, a povratak onih koji su ga napustili, u sadašnjim uvjetima, nije vjerojatan. Stoga je potrebno mladim ljudima koji se još uvijek bave poljoprivredom i žele se njome i dalje baviti omogućiti takve uvjete da od svoga rada mogu sigurno i pristojno živjeti. Određena tijela državne, odnosno lokalne vlasti dužna su organizirati i realizirati konkretne projekte za unapređenje različitih oblika poljoprivredne proizvodnje u svakoj regiji, županiji i općini. U našoj državi u ruralnim sredinama prevladavaju veoma mali obiteljski posjedi koji ne mogu osigurati njihovim vlasnicima pristojna primanja, odnosno standard života kakav mladi ljudi očekuju ili, bolje reći, zaslužuju. Osim toga, sve su učestalije pojave suša, a poplave su česte u područjima uz brojne riječne tokove, što dodatno ugrožava skromna primanja seoskih obitelji. Mjera kojom bi se smanjili ili potpuno eliminirali ti problemi je komasacija zemljišta. Intenzivno se provodila na teritoriju Republike Hrvatske u razdoblju nakon 2. svjetskog rata pa sve do njezina osamostaljenja 1991. godine. Razlozi zbog kojih se već dugi niz godina ne provodi komasacija zemljišta nisu poznati, a jedini poznati razlog je nedostatak zakonske regulative. Međutim, činjenica je da bi se stari Zakon o komasaciji zemljišta vrlo lako mogao prilagoditi novim društveno-političkim prilikama, a to ujedno znači da za njegovu izradu i donošenje, zasigurno, ne trebaju proći desetci godina. Ako takvo stanje potraje, u sadašnjim okolnostima, naša ruralna područja bit će sve zapuštenija i siromašnija, a poljoprivredna će proizvodnja sve više zaostajati za onom u zemljama Europske Unije.Rural and agricultural production development is an inevitable process in preserving rural area that everyone in the Republic of Croatia is pleading for. The existing situation in the rural area is not attractive for your people and they mostly abandon these areas. There are old-people households prevailing in the Republic of Croatia that surely cannot improve agricultural production, and the return of those who have abandoned it is hardly to expect. It is therefore inevitable to provide for your people who still want to be active in agriculture further on the conditions that would make it possible for them to live securely and adequately. Certain state bodies, i.e. local authorities are obliged to organise and realise concrete projects for the advance of various types of agricultural production in each region, county and municipality. In our state there are small family estates prevailing in rural regions that cannot secure decent income for their owners, i.e. the life standard that your people expect, or better to say, deserve. Apart from that, droughts and floods appear more and more frequently, and the floods also appear very often in the areas along numerous river courses, which additionally threatens modest incomes in rural families. The measure that would reduce or completely eliminate these problems is land consolidation. Land consolidations have been carried out intensively at the territory of the Republic of Croatia in the period after the 2. Word War and until Croatia became independent in 1991. The reasons for land consolidation not being carried out for such a long time are not known and one of them that can be heard is the lack of legal regulations. The fact is, however, that the old law could easily be adjust to new social and political circumstances, and for the preparation of the new one it would also not be needed the next ten years. In such circumstances our rural areas become more and more neglected and poor, and the agricultural production is falling behind the one in the countries of the European Union

Paralytic Strabismus as a Manifestation of Lyme Borreliosis

Lyme disease is a multi-system organ disorder caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. Although ocular manifestations have been reported, these remain a rare feature of the disease. This report shows a 49-years old patient that has been bitten by a tick and as consequence of which developed symptoms of the Lyme disease. In 1998 the patient was hospitalized in our Eye Clinic due to operating treatment of the paralytic strabismus (abductal nerve paralysis), as a rare feature of the Lyme disease. Postoperative squint angle was significantly reduced, but without any temporal movement. Diplopia was still present, though slightly reduced with the use of prism eyeglasses. The improvement of the quality of life was achieved, as well as the patient\u27s satisfaction

Očne manifestacije su opisane, no njihova pojavnost je vrlo rijetka. Predmet našeg rada jest prikaz pacijentice stare 49 godina koju je 1985. godine ugrizao krpelj te je kao posljedicu istog razvila simptome Lyme borelioze. Pacijentica je 1998. godine hospitalizirana na našoj Klinici radi operativnog liječenja paralitičkog strabizma (paraliza n.abducensa), rijetke očne manifestacije Lyme borelioze. Postoperativno je kut škiljenja znatno reduciran, no još uvijek bez pokretljivosti bulbusa temporalno. Dvoslike su još uvijek prisutne, no značajno smanjene korekcijom s prizmama. Postignuto je zadovoljstvo pacijenta uz poboljšanje kvalitete života
