Initially, the dominant group consisted of middle-aged patients infected through blood transfusion. Recently, an increase in HCV has been observed among patients of younger age. Today, the main risk group consists of intravenous drug users (IVDUs) with a prevalence of 80%, and the infection normally occurs very soon after starting to take intravenous drugs. Hepatitis C viral infection is also associated with cocaine/heroin consumption, and the infection occurs as a result of the use of common blood-contaminated equipment. In the presented research, the largest number of patients is between the ages of 30 and 40. In 36 patients, a stable virological response was achieved, i.e. 90%, while most of these patients were previously treated with some other treatment modalities. Since the therapeutic possibilities are limited and there is no vaccine, prevention plays a key role in the eradication of HCV infection. Eradication and health education of the population are needed, with the aim of acquiring knowledge about possible ways of infection transmission, and thus the possibilities of protection against infection.","PeriodicalId":363723,"journal":{"name":"Quality of Life (Banja Luka) - APEIRON","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121170018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to World Bank reports, BiH must deal with the improvement of waste disposal to protect the environment. The aim of this study was to review the physical and chemical composition of leachate from municipal waste landfills. The following standard physicochemical methods were used: pH, total suspended solids (TSS), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chlorides, and sulphates. The leachate quality test was conducted over three years at landfills in Sarajevo, Zenica and Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Based on the processed data (from the processed tables), and in comparison with the expected values of pollutants in landfills over the period of 10 years, we can conclude the following: (1) Landfill “Smiljevići” Sarajevo, in the observed period of 3 years, has a higher average value than expected; (2) Landfill “Desetina” Tuzla, in the observed period of 3 years, has a higher average value than expected; (3) Landfill “Mošćanica” Zenica, in the observed period of 3 years, has a higher average value than expected.","PeriodicalId":363723,"journal":{"name":"Quality of Life (Banja Luka) - APEIRON","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121888162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the period from January 2021 to May 2022, patients in the University Clinical Center of the Republic of Srpska who underwent CT according to the protocol for polytrauma were retrospectively analyzed. The study included 51 patients. CIN was defined as a 25% rise from baseline creatinine, or an absolute increase in creatinine of ≥ 44 µmol/l 24–48 h after administration of contrast. Of the total number of patients, 12% (n = 6) met the criteria for CIN. Age, sex, comorbidity, severity of injury based on ISS (injury severity score) were analyzed. Hemoglobin and fibrinogen levels, length of hospitalization, stay in the intensive care unit, mortality were monitored. A value of p 0.01 was considered statistically significant. CIN is common in traumatized patients, but it is not an independent risk factor for length of hospitalization or mortality.","PeriodicalId":363723,"journal":{"name":"Quality of Life (Banja Luka) - APEIRON","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130242126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were collected from January 2019 to December 2020 at two stations, namely Center and Heating plant, in the City of Bijeljina, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. SO2 and NO2 are one of the major air pollutants that could negatively affect the human health. Levels of SO2 and NO2 in air samples and meteorological variables from urban zone of Bijeljina were determined at both localities, which represent a highly-populated area with intensive traffic. This topic has not been studied up to now in Bijeljina, although the recent research data indicates that there is a correlation between meteorological parameters and air pollutants. Statistical analysis confirms direct corelation between SO2 and NO2 and meteorological parameters, specially temperature in locality Center (r = -0.639), the wind speed in locality Heating plant (r = 0.399) and relative humidity (r = 0.162). Correlation of NO2 with temperature is not confirmed in both localities. The wind speed increase is followed by rises of the NO2 concentration values and vice versa. Correlation of NO2 with pressure is confirmed in locality Center (r = 0.128) but it is not confirmed in locality Heating plant. Correlation between NO2 and relative humidity found to be negative in locality Center (r = -0.062). These parameters are the most important meteorological factors influencing the variation in SO2 and NO2 concentration in the air during the research. Depending on the obtained correlation, meteorological parameters had a positive or negative impact on air pollution.","PeriodicalId":363723,"journal":{"name":"Quality of Life (Banja Luka) - APEIRON","volume":"18 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129941700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sample size of four hundred (400) youths between ages 18-30 years (Male=240; Female=160) were selected using a combination of simple random sampling and purposive technique from a population of out-of school youths in Anambra State, Nigeria. Four standardized scales were used for data collection. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that resililence (r= 0. 146**p.05), internal locus of control (r= 0. 165** p.05) and social support (r= 0. 658** p.05) positively correlated with quality of life respectively. There was significant joint contribution of the independent variables to the prediction of quality of life among the respondents F (5,395) = 102.299, P0.001). The independent variables (resilience, internal locus of control and perceived social supports) when combined accounted for 50.2% (Adj.R2= .502) of the variance in quality of life among out-of school youths in Anambra State. Resilience was the most potent predictor of quality of life among the variables considered in this study (β =.591, t =10.153, P0.001). Counselling psychologists should institute resilience-focused therapy to build the practical skills of youths to become capable of handling their everyday challenges in order to have an improved quality of life.","PeriodicalId":363723,"journal":{"name":"Quality of Life (Banja Luka) - APEIRON","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131603730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People use many methods and devices to combat the mosquito problem. Chemical pesticides are commonly used to control mosquitoes and their bites around the world. Since the last two decades public has started to avoid the use of synthetic chemicals for mosquito management due to their harmful effects on environment and human health. Pesticide resistance in mosquitoes is a major side effect of synthetic chemical applications. Volatile oils or essential oils obtained from green plants are considered as reliable alternatives for mosquito management. Several hundred volatile oils and volatile compounds have been tested against eggs, larva, pupa and adults of various vector mosquito species. Oils, extracts and powders of leaf, flowers and bark of many aromatic plants are being used as mosquito repellents in many countries for many centuries. Scientific validation of biological activities of several botanicals has been intensified in the last three decades and several herbal mosquito control products have been commercialized. The aim of the present review article is to provide up-to-date information on biological activities of plant volatile oils and volatile compounds against vector mosquitoes and to highlight the promising volatile compounds for the development of new herbal mosquito control products.","PeriodicalId":363723,"journal":{"name":"Quality of Life (Banja Luka) - APEIRON","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126883214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
