Five Years of Constitutional Jurisprudence in Bosnia and Herzegovina: A First Balance. EDAP 7/2004
No full textThe article reflects the experiences of the author after having served as one of the three international judges of the Constitutional Court of BiH from 1997 to 2002. Based on the relevant case-law of the Constitutional Court it gives a basic overview of the constitutional structure of BiH and analyses the position of the Court vis-à-vis other institutions established under the Dayton-Agreement and the powers of judicial review and human rights protection based on its appellate jurisdiction. Moreover means of interpretation and the elements of constitutional doctrine elaborated through case-law as well as organisational and procedural matters such as the role of dissenting opinions are discussed. In conclusion the article reflects the role of the Constitutional Court in transition from an ethnically divided and war-torn society to democracy and the effective protection of human and minority rights
"An analysis of the perfomance of sentinel lymphadenectomy with preoperative lymphoscintigraphy as part of the surgical treatment of melanoma in a five year period in the General hospital Dubrovnik"
No full textPojavnost melanoma u svijetu i kod nas u stalnom je porastu. Specifične biološke karakteristike i ponekad nepredvidljiv klinički razvoj ove bolesti predstavljaju trajan izazov u stručnom i znanstvenom smislu.
Ovaj rad i njegovo istraživanje prati pojavnost melanoma na našem području kroz višegodišnje razdoblje te u promatranom razdoblju analizira epidemiološke pokazatelje kao i utjecaj životne dobi, spola i profesije na pojavnost bolesti. Provedeno istraživanje, također, uspoređuje navedene epidemiološke podatke kao i rezultate rane dijagnostike i liječenja uspoređujući različita razdoblja u istoj ustanovi i to u vremenskom razmaku od jednog desetljeća. Svi pokazatelji jasno upućuju na stalni porast incidencije, ali i uspješniju detekciju ranih oblika bolesti kao i sve bolju prognozu liječenja koja je još uvijek značajno posljedično povezana sa stadijem u kojem je otkrivena.
U terapijskom protokolu melanoma kirurški postupci imaju posebnu važnost obzirom na relativno limitirane mogućnosti drugih oblika liječenja. U sklopu suvremenog kirurškog tretmana ove bolesti, kod velikog dijela oboljelih posebno je važno ispravno indicirano i tehnički kvalitetno izvođenje kirurškog staginga drenažnih limfatičnih regija metodom sentinel limfadenektomije uz obveznu prijeoperacijsku limfoscintigrafiju. Ovo istraživanje ukazuje na uspješne rezultate izvođenja ove metode u matičnoj ustanovi te iznosi prva pozitivna višegodišnja iskustva koja su usporediva s onima poznatim iz literature.
Melanom, usprkos zloćudnim predznacima, zahvaljujući s jedne strane velikim mogućnostima preventive i rane detekcije te s druge strane zahvaljujući ispravnom i kvalitetno provedenom postupku liječenja, kod većeg dijela bolesnika predstavlja izlječivu bolest.Melanoma is still a disease with a steady increase in incidence in our country and worldwide. Specificbiological characteristics and sometimes unpredictable clinical development of this disease representan ongoing challenge in both professional and scientific terms.
In the thesis and the corresponding research the incidence of melanoma in our area following epidemiological indicators over a period of several years is analysed as well as the impact of age, gender, and profession on the incidence of the disease. This research,furthermore, compares the above mentioned epidemiological data as well as the results of early diagnosis andtreatment by comparing different periods in the same institution within theinterval of one decade. These indicators clearly point a steady increase in incidence but alsoa more successful detection of early stages of the disease as well as improved prognosis of treatment that is still significantly and consequently related to the stage at which diseasehas been detected.
In the therapeutic protocol of melanoma, surgical procedures are of particular importance due to the relatively limited possibilities of other methods of treatment. The surgical treatment of this diseaseis of crucial importance,with an emphasis on correct indication and high technical performance of surgical staging of the nearest lymphatic regions by sentinel lymphadenectomy with mandatory preoperative limmphoscintigrafy. This research points out the successful results of this methodin the parent institution and presents the first positive years of experience comparable tothose in the literature.
Melanoma, despite its malignant signage, because of the significant possibilities of prevention and early detection, and,on the other hand,due to the correct andhigh quality treatment procedures, isa curable disease for most of the patients
"Analysis of the appearance and results of treatment of occult breast carcinoma with axillary metastases in the General Hospital Dubrovnik in the last 20 years"
No full textRak dojke je jedan od velikih javnozdravstvenih problema u suvremenom
društvu i predstavlja najčešći uzrok smrti od malignih bolesti kod žena, a sve češće
zahvaća i mlađu populaciju u kojoj se posljednjih godina bilježi sve veći broj oboljelih
žena. Dobro je poznato da je za uspješno liječenje raka dojke važna prevencija i rano
otkrivanje bolesti. Zdrav način života uz redovite preglede može povećati ukupni
uspjeh rane detekcije i rezulata liječenja. Zbog navedenog razloga danas se sve više
naglašava potreba za javno-zdravstvenim prosvjećivanjem žena s ciljem povećane
brige o vlastitom zdravlju i redovitim pregledima kod liječnika.
Okultni rak dojke s pazušnim metastazama je rijedak entitet pojave
sekundarizama u pazušnim limfnim čvorovima koji patohistološki upućuju na
ishodište u žljezdanom tkivu dojke, ali bez popratnih kliničkih, slikovnih ili čak
histoloških potvrda žarišta u samoj dojci. O ovoj rijetkoj vrsti bolesti postoji ograničen
broj referenci u domaćoj i svjetskoj literaturi. U OB Dubrovnik se prati serija bolesnika
s potvrđenim entitetom okultnog raka s pazušnim metastazama kod kojih je dostupna
sva potrebna medicinska dokumentacija vezana uz dijagnozu, liječenje i praćenje
oboljelih.
Rad prezentira iskustava u dijagnostici i liječenju okultnog raka dojke
prezentiranog pazušnim metastazama koristeći cjelokupnu medicinsku
dokumentaciju svih bolesnika s ovim entitetom u posljednjih 20 godina u Općoj
bolnici Dubrovnik. Svi podaci su analizirani prema dobi bolesnica, mogućoj obiteljskoj
anamnezi te histološkom tipu bolesti kao i metodama i rezultatima liječenja,
uključujući eventualnu pojavnost lokalnih recidiva ili diseminacije bolesti te stopi
preživljavanja u ovisnosti o poduzetim terapijskim postupcima. Rad prikazuje i ulogu
medicinske sestre u postupku liječenja i njege te praćenja oboljelih.Breast cancer is one of the major public health problems in contemporary societies
and it represent the most common cause of death in women among malingnant
diseases. It is, also, a disease that is affecting the younger population more often,
with increasing incidence for all ages. The most successful strategy in struggle with
this disease is prevention and early cancer detection. Lifestyle as well as selfhaelthcare
may improve the success of the treatment. For this reason, the need to
raise women's awareness of this disease is strongly emphasized, with promotion of
self-care and regular algorithms for breast examination.
Occult breast cancer with axillary metastases is a rare entity characterized by the
appeareance of metastatic lesions in axillary lymphnodes that point to the origin of
the glandular breast tissue, but without the accompanying clinical, imaging or even
histological confirmation of the focal point in the breast. There is a limited number of
references in Croatian as well as in world literature which concerns this rare disease.
During the observed period, a limited number of patients with confirmed entity of
occult breast cancer with axillary metastases, are continously followed in General
Hospital Dubrovnik. All the patients has all the necessary medical records related to
the diagnosis, treatment and follow up.
This paper presents the experiences in diagnosis and treatment using overall medical
documentation of the patients with this entity during past 20 years in General Hospital
Dubrovnik. All data was analyzed regarding the age of patients, possible family
history, histological typs of the disease and the methods and results of the treatment
including possible appeareance of local recurrence or disease dissemination, as well
as the survival rate after initial diagnosis, depending on the undergoing therapeutic
procedures. The paper also presents the role of the nurses in the treatment and care
process and the monitoring of the patients

Uloga boje u gradnji glazbenog oblika u odabranim djelima Marka Ruždjaka / Sound Spaces: The Role of Timbre in Building Musical Form Within a Selection of Marko Ruždjak's Work
No full textSome of the most successful works in the opus of Marko Ruždjak would have been impossible to conceive without the clarinet, the composer’s favourite instrument, as well as wit- hout the guitar, percussion, and voice (soprano, baritone or choir). The author researches how the composer’s choice of instrumental timbres and the voicing of the instruments as solo part or part of a larger sound aggregates (or units) is guided by a singular idea, which can be defi- ned as sound space. The timbre in this context is not conceived just as an element of a two- dimensional unit (building contrasts or overflowing and fusion in the temporal flow), rather it participates in the building of the spatial (and emotional) perspective. It contributes to a building of a specific musical form and expression. Ruždjak’s works have been analyzed through the categories that are linked to the Klangkomposition aesthetics of the Sixties. In the first part of the text, the formal function of individual parameters such as dynamic and regi- ster in the works Passamezzo, Tentatio, Canto peregrino, Versus, Ricercar is analyzed. In the se- cond part of the text, the analysis of Odrazi, Andantino, Notturno is developed through the more complex dimensions such as "static immobile surfaces", "surfaces in movement", "globally static surfaces, flecked with internal movement". They have been deduced from the published and unpublished texts by Györgi Ligeti. The theoretical background for the analysis of the sound's formal functions in the works of Ruždjak is part of the Klangkomposition's aesthetic. Together with the analysis of harmonic and motivic dimensions of the composer's language, they conduct to the possibility of a deeper understanding of the synthesis between various stylistic trajectories that are characteristic for the musical path of Marko Ruždjak
