Complaints in the Process of Maintaining the Cadastre

U ovome radu dan je pregled procesa i poslova koji se obavljaju u svakidašnjem radu katastarskih ureda i Središnjeg ureda Državne geodetske uprave Republike Hrvatske po uloženim žalbama na prvostupanjska rješenja. Postupanja u katastarskim uredima uređena su propisima. Žalba je redoviti pravni lijek u upravnom postupku, a kako se u katastarskim uredima sve promjene o obliku, broju i površini katastarske čestice provode upravnim postupkom, svaka stranka u postupku ima pravo uložiti žalbu ako smatra da su njezina prava povrijeđena. Također se određene promjene o vlasnicima upisanim u posjedovne listove mogu provoditi upravnim postupkom pa stranke i u tim slučajevima imaju pravo žalbe. Opisani su poslovni procesi rada sa žalbama u okviru katastarskih postupanja te su ti procesi formalno modelirani objektnim pristupom.This paper reviews a part of the processes performed on a daily basis in cadastral offices and Central office of the State geodetic administration of the Republic of Croatia. Procedures in cadastral offices are regulated by law and one of the regular remedies in administrative proceedings is an appeal. Since all changes on the shape, number and area of the parcel are conducted in administrative proceedings, each party to the proceeding has the right to lodge a complaint or appeal if it considers that its rights have been violated. Certain changes to the registered owners may also conduct administrative proceedings and parties in these cases also have the right to complaint. This paper describes complaint and appeal procedures and models these processes with object-oriented approach

Maternal smoking during pregnancy and socioeconomic factors as predictors of low birth weight in term pregnancies in Niš

Background/Aim. Low birth weight (LBW) is a result of preterm birth or intrauterine growth retardation, and in both cases is the strongest single factor associated with perinatal and neonatal mortality. It is considered that socioeconomic factors, as well as mothers bad habits, play the most significant role in the development of LBW, which explains notable number of researches focused on this particular problem. The aim of this study was to characterize socioeconomic factors, as well as smoking habits of the mothers, and their connection with LBW. Methods. The questionnaire was carried out among mothers of 2 years old children (n = 956), born after 37 gestational weeks. The characteristics of mothers who had children with LBW, defined as < 2 500 g, (n = 50), were matched with the characteristics of mothers who had children ≥ 2 500 g, (n = 906). For defining risk factors, and protective factors as well, we used univariant and multivariant logistic modeles. Results. As significant risk factors for LBW in an univariant model we had education level of the mothers, smoking during pregnancy, smoking before pregnancy, the number of daily cigarettes, the number of cigarettes used during pregnancy, paternal earnings and socioeconomic factors. In a multivariant model the most significant factors were socioeconomic factors, education level of the mothers, paternal earnings and mothers smoking during pregnancy. Conclusion. Smoking during pregnancy and socioeconomic factors have great influence on LBW. Future studies should be carried out in different social groups, with the intention to define their influence on LBW and reproduction, as well. This should be the proper way of adequate health breeding planning for giving up smoking, the prevention of bad habits and melioration of mothers and children health, as the most vulnerable population

COMPARISON OF TREATMENT OUTCOME AMONG PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKAEMIA WHO ACHIEVED COMPLETE CYTOGENETIC RESPONSE WITHIN OR AFTER ONE YEAR OF IMATINIB MESYLATE THERAPY

The introduction of imatinib, as a type of targeted molecular therapy, has profoundly changed the treatment outcome of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). The aim of this study was to assess and compare treatment outcome among patients who achieved complete cytogenetic response (CCgR) within or after one year following initiation of imatinib therapy. A group of 42 adult patients with early chronic-phase Philadelphia-positive CML treated with imatinib mesylate therapy has been studied. In the study group CCgR has been achieved in 36/42 (85.71%) analysed patients, while in 3/42 (7.14%) patients the absence of cytogenetic response has been noted. Early CCgR has been achieved by 25/36 (69.44%) patients with response at median time of 6.9±1.9 months, while late CCgR has been achieved by 11/36 (30.56%) patients at median time of 18.75±2.4 months. Univariate analysis has identified prognostic factors for achieving early and late CCgR. Analysis of remission duration of treatment responders has shown that 21/25 (84%) patients in the group with early CCgR and 9/11 (81.81%) patients from the group with late CCgR still maintained stable remission on last cytogenetic control. The estimated 5-year survival rate was 85% for early responders and 74% for late responders. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that there are no differences in the treatment outcome, i.e. level of response, of patients with CML in relation to whether the CCgR was achieved within or after one year of imatinib therapy

FREQUENCY AND DEGREE OF CHRONIC ARTHROPATHY IN HEMOPHILIA A PATIENTS ON PROPHYLACTIC AND ON-DEMAND TREATMENT

Hemophilia A is the most common congenital bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in coagulation factor VIII activity, characterized by a marked bleeding tendency. It is inherited recessively. The most common complication of the disease is chronic arthropathy. In the prophylactic treatment regimen, the subjects receive preventative F VIII infusions every second day or three times a week. In an on-demand regimen, bleeds are treated as they occur. Analysis of the frequency and degree of chronic hemophilic arthropathy in patients with moderate and severe hemophilia A. Analysis of involvement of individual joints, and their score values by the treatment regimen (prophylaxis vs. on-demand treatment.) The study included 23 patients - 15 patients on „on-demand“ regimen and 8 patients who had prophylaxis, all being treated at the Clinic of Hematology and Clinical Immunology, Clinical Center Niš. In the assessment of frequency of complications we used descriptive statistics: the number, proportion and mean. The comparison of arithmetic means of the two samples was performed using the t-test. The comparison of frequency values was performed using the chi-square test or Fisher’s test. In the group without prophylaxis, the knee and hip were the most commonly affected sites (73.33% and 53.33%), and in the group with prophylaxis, the elbow joint was mostly affected (37.50%). The knee was statistically more often affected in patients without prophylaxis compared to those on prophylaxis. The knee score had the highest value in both groups. It was statistically significantly higher in patients without prophylaxis compared to those on prophylaxis. The hip score was the second highest value in the examined groups, the third was the elbow joint score, followed by the ankle score, and the lowest score was observed for the shoulder joint. Elbow and ankle scores were statistically significantly higher in patients without prophylaxis compared to those on prophylaxis. Chronic arthropathy is the most common complication in patients with severe and moderate Haemophilia A, with maximum involvement of the knee joint in both groups of patients (with or without prophylaxis), but with a statistically significantly higher score in patients without prophylaxis

The significance of soluble transferrin receptors in diagnosing iron deficiency anemia

Introduction. In recent years, determination of soluble transferrin receptor levels has been emerging as a test that can reliably indicate iron deficiency in various states, and that is non-invasive and easy to use. The aim of this study was: to determine reference values of soluble transferrin receptor concentrations in serums in our population, to examine the reliability of this method in the diagnosis of anemia due to iron deficiency and associated iron deficiency in anemia accompanying malignant hemopathies, and to identify possible limitations of the test in certain conditions

Towards 3D and 4D Cadastre in Croatia

Cadastral systems need to be designed and supported from three dimensional spatial perspectives. Previous researches of Croatian 3D cadastre through relevant use case examples suggest better real property separate parts registration as well as 3D building visualization (apartments, office spaces, etc.). Next to the 3D aspects of rights and restrictions, the temporal aspect, the fourth dimension of interests in real property, is an important aspect of cadastral registration. History of changes on the cadastral parcels is subject of interest for key users, mostly parties. For this purpose, Croatian Land Administration System was adapted to become a four-dimensional (4D cadastre). In the land book and cadastre all changes since their inception are recorded with the time component and date of the change. Previous researches have shown that Land Administration Domain Model (ISO 19152) is good basis for the Croatian 3D cadastre. This paper discussed that legal and institutional aspects of Croatian 3D cadastre should be considered in 3D cadastre development for each jurisdiction. Legal support to register and represent 3D properties (legal aspect), institutional support to establish relationships between involved parties (institutional aspect), and technical support to realise 3D cadastre (technical aspect) are basis for 3D cadastre development. This paper presents some 4D cadastre situations in Croatia. Goals of the new Law on Cadastre and State Survey are legal regulation of 3D cadastre, as well as the central repository establishment of Utility cadastre under the authority of the State Geodetic Administration. This paper also suggests better public utility infrastructure registration by overlapping Land cadastre and Utility cadastre and unifying records at the state level, because Utility cadastre in local government despite statutory obligation from 1999 was not developed in the past 15 years

Current Situation and Prospect of 3D Cadastre in Croatia

This paper describes method of registering real property and parts of real property (apartments, etc.) in the cadastre and land books. Approach to registering particular structures and corresponding rights is delineated based on existing legislation. For example, tunnels, bridges and other 3D cadastre relevant structures are considered. Bylaw on Utility Cadastre regulates registration of public utility lines in Croatia. The paper portrays development of the utility cadastre and depicts current maintenance and management. The utility cadastre contains data about the type, purpose, basic technical features, and location of built utility lines, and lists the names and addresses of their managers. The following topics are covered: key 3D real world situations, infrastructural and utility networks, buildings, X/Y coordinates and Z coordinates. Legislation regulating that bodies of local government must establish and manage the utility cadastre was passed already in 1999, but few of these bodies assumed this responsibility since. Future development of Croatian 3D cadastre is proposed based on current situation and demand for establishing the 3D cadastre

Determination of a Hazard Compensations Based on Land Administration Data

During the summer period, fire hazards represent an especially real threat not only for vegetation and animals, but also for material resources and human lives. In the Republic of Croatia, the most affected areas are those in the coastal region, which are characterised by a very dry environment and strong winds that are conducive to the rapid spread of wildfire. Although the prevention of wildfire is an utmost imperative, many countries are still missing a good and reliable fire management system for both fire monitoring and prevention and post-disaster management. The aim of this paper is to show the utilisation of open source GIS, web-based technologies, and open data in the case of natural disasters, and to define the concept of advanced national system of compensation determination. Such a system could be utilised to identify land parcels for which compensations for damage and losses after fire devastation have to be determined and could be used by compensation agencies, insurance companies, or state administration. The island of Hvar, which has suffered from fire hazards, was used as a case study for a quick and relevant calculation of the compensation based on land administration data. Sentinel satellite images and official digital orthophoto maps (DOMs) of the affected area before and after the fire devastation were obtained and analysed together with the data on cadastral parcels and land owners. Research was conducted by using both sets of imagery data, showing that Sentinel satellite images are more than adequate for fulfilling the task of the determination of hazard compensation

Overview of Legal and Institutional Aspects of Croatian Cadastre and Possibilities for its Upgrading to 3D

This paper explores the laws and other legal acts related to the Croatian 3D cadastre with an emphasis on those which relate to interests in strata, spatial planning, exploitation of mineral resources, environmental protection, issuing concessions and other regulations that are valid or were valid on Croatian territory, and especially the regulations regarding the registration of buildings with several separate parts (flats, apartments, offices etc.). Current overview of the legislation, method and scope of cadastral data collection is given. Effects of the application of these regulations on the present situation of registration in cadastre and land book are considered. This paper also explores current legal, institutional and some technical solutions implemented in Croatian Land Administration System and possibilities for upgrade to 3D cadastre. Implementation of any technological option for establishment of 3D cadastre is tightly related to legislation. Hence, it is needed to consider legislation and technological options in order to find solution which will be possible to implement

Revision of Croatian LADM profile according to the new regulations in surveying profession

The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) provides a conceptual model for modelling of Land Administration Systems (LAS). Since its publication in 2012, a wide range of scientists and practitioners have shown interest to work on it and use it. These activities by many stakeholders resulted in recognized need for the revision of LADM. LADM Edition II has wider scope and includes additional domains such as land valuation, marine spaces and spatial plan information and introduces the modular structure in order to make it simpler and not to mix different domains in the same model. Since the first version of Croatian LADM profile in 2013 many changes occurred in the Croatian LAS. In this paper we describe these changes and provide a proposal of revised Croatian LADM profile. While creating the revised model we focused on the Fundamental and Land Registration parts of LADM Edition II
