THE INTERPRETATIVE EFFECT OF EUROPEAN LAW IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE CROATIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT No U-III-1410/2007
On 13 February 2006, the Constitutional Court of Croatia issued a very important judgment in which it resolved a difficult situation created by divergent judgments of the Administrative Court of Croatia in which The Administrative Court ruled on decisions made by the Croatian Competition Agency. The Administrative Courtās judgments diverged in the interpretation of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the Republic of Croatia and the European Community. In the ongoing pre-accession period it is of great importance to instruct the Croatian judiciary how and when the criteria and standards of the comparative law of the European Community should be applied. This is especially important in cases which involve the Croatian Constitutional Court, as its primary function is to preserve the division of powers in Croatia. According to the Administrative Disputes Act, an administrative dispute can be initiated against the decisions of administrative bodies against which appeals are not permitted, in other words before the Administrative Court. Given that the largest part of the European acquis communautaire relates to administrative law, the focus points of the application of European law in Croatia will be administrative legislation, administrative proceedings and administrative law in general

The effects of a human food additive, titanium dioxide nanoparticles E171, on Drosophila melanogaster - a 20 generation dietary exposure experiment
In this study, fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) were exposed to an estimated daily human E171 consumption concentration for 20 generations. Exposure to E171 resulted in: a change in normal developmental and reproductive dynamics, reduced fecundity after repetitive breeding, increased genotoxicity, the appearance of aberrant phenotypes and morphologic changes to the adult fat body. Marks of adaptive evolution and directional selection were also exhibited. The larval stages were at a higher risk of sustaining damage from E171 as they had a slower elimination rate of TiO2 compared to the adults. This is particularly worrisome, since among the human population, children tend to consume higher daily concentrations of E171 than do adults. The genotoxic effect of E171 was statistically higher in each subsequent generation compared to the previous one. Aberrant phenotypes were likely caused by developmental defects induced by E171, and were not mutations, since the phenotypic features were not transferred to any progeny even after 5 generations of consecutive crossbreeding. Therefore, exposure to E171 during the early developmental period carries a higher risk of toxicity. The fact that the daily human consumption concentration of E171 interferes with and influences fruit fly physiological, ontogenetic, genotoxic, and adaptive processes certainly raises safety concerns
Drawing history. Stories of rescue during the Holocaust
"... Odluka da se priÄe o spasavanju Jevreja i Roma iz Äeljusti

The decision to present the stories about the rescue of Jews and Roma from the jaws of horrors that happened to members of their communities during the Second World War in the form of graphic novels proved to be justified as long ago as 1992 when Art Spiegelman won the Pulitzer Prize for his novel Maus. The graphic novel is an art that communicates with its readers directly, through images and words, and is especially dear to modern generations accustomed to images. The different approaches applied by the authors testify to the richness of the contemporary graphic novel's scene in Serbia..."Sadržaj (content): PriÄa o Driti / Dragana RadanoviÄ ; PriÄa o Teodoru / Boris StaniÄ ; PriÄa o doktoru Savi / Vladimir PajiÄ ; PriÄa o Raki / Danica JevÄoviÄ ; PriÄa o Novaku / Jelena ÄorÄeviÄ-MaksimoviÄ
Leaching kinetics of Cs+ and Co2+ under dynamic conditions
The possibility of retaining Cs+ and Co2+ bound by immobilization processes in the cement matrix is defined as the subject of its investigation: the cement matrix formulation, the water/ cement ratio, the amount of waste, and the porosity of such a structure. Implementing the standard leaching method by Hespe the possibility of comparing different authorsā results was achieved. Diffusion and semi-empirical model were used to investigate the transport phenomenon in order to predict the leaching level for a long period of time. Leaching of Co2+ and Cs+ ions under dynamic conditions immobilized in the cement matrix dynamic conditions decreases with the increase of the sludge content, regarding porosity increase. The effects of the diffusion and surface washing are equalized, and the contribution ofthe matrix dissolution to the Cs + and Co2+ transport in the cement porous media increases, on average, for one order of magnitude. The semi-empirical model gives a better approximation for Co2+ and Cs+ leaching process for the duration ofthe experiment while both models significantly approximate leaching results in dynamic conditions.

Water for all : Proceedings of the 7th international scientific and professional conference Water for all
The 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all is organized to honour the World Water Day by the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), Danube Parks, Croatian Food Agency, Croatian Water, Faculty of Food Technology Osijek, Faculty of Agriculture in Osijek, Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Biology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Chemistry, Nature Park āKopaÄki ritā, Osijek- Baranja County, Public Health Institute of the Osijek- Baranja County and āVodovod-Osijekā -water supply company in Osijek. The topic of World Water Day 2017 was "Wastewater" emphasizing the importance and influence of wastewater treatments on global environment. The international scientific and professional conference Water for all is a gathering of scientists and experts in the field of water management, including chemists, biologists, civil and agriculture engineers, with a goal to remind people about the significance of fresh water and to promote an interdisciplinary approach and sustainability for fresh water resource management. The Conference has been held since 2011. About 300 scientists and engineers submitted 95 abstracts to the 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all, out of which 33 was presented orally and 62 as posters. 47 full papers were accepted by the Scientific Committee. 38 full papers became the part of the this Proceedings while 9 papers were accepted for publication in Croatian Journal of Food Science and Technology and Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek - e-GFOS
