Hip arthroplasty or hip replacement is a surgical procedure by which damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the joint and replaced by implants. Hip replacement is performed in order to achive painless and normal movements. Obesity is characterized by excessive accumulation of fat inside an organism and it affects occurance of arthrosis. Obese people make up to 30% of the population in developed countries. A vast majority of recent research publications talk about obesity and its impact on the outcome of orthopedic surgical procedures.

In the past two years, the Republic of Serbia has seen gains in workplace safety, particularly as regards total reported injuries. In 2020 there is a 22.63% drop in reported injuries compared to 2019, according to the Ministry of Labor, Employment, Social and Veterans Affairs Work Report for 2020 and 2019. Nonetheless, this trend should not overshadow another disturbing trend in the workplace – that the number of life-changing injuries and fatalities has been on a much slower regression. While it is encouraging that the total reported incident rate is decreasing, the next step for safety excellence and the one Serbian Ministry currently strives to achieve, is the elimination of life-changing injuries and fatalities in the workplace. The paper presents an overview of life-changing injury and fatality prevention and how it is addressed by using incident and near miss data. The presented analyses will add benefit to the prevention improvement of life-changing injuries and fatalities.

Febrile neutropenia occurring during chemotherapy was reported to be a predictor of survival in breast cancer patients. We assessed the incidence of febrile neutropenia induced by chemotherapy. Data from a retrospective study on the application of chemotherapy protocols in breast cancer patients was reviewed. Analyzing the data, we can see that out of 81 patients who received chemotherapy, 43 were diagnosed with neutropenia and 4 or 9.3% of those patients were diagnosed with neutropenia again despite prophylaxis with Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). In 4 or 9.3% of patients, further administration of that chemotherapy protocol had to be stopped due to severity of neutropenia and complications they caused. During the treatment, grade IV neutropenia was diagnosed in 27 or 63% of patients while grade I neutropenia was diagnosed in 2 or 4.65% of patients. Anemia associated with neutropenia was also diagnosed in 7 or 16.3% of patients while pancytopenia was diagnosed in 4 or 9.3% of patients, and thrombocytopenia associated with neutropenia was diagnosed in only one patient. The hazard ratio of febrile neutropenia presence compared to the absence of such toxicity was adjusted. The cox model was 0.75 (confidence interval 95% 0.54-0.95; P=0,0189) for grade I neutropenia, 0.63 (0.50-0.78; P0,0001) for grade II neutropenia and 0.71 (0.51-0.98; P=0.3888) for grades III and IV neutropenia. These results suggest that the occurrence of neutropenia during chemotherapy is an independent predictor of increased survival in breast cancer patients, while the absence of such toxicity indicates that the drug doses are not sufficient. Monitoring of febrile neutropenia in patients treated with chemotherapy may contribute to improved drug efficacy and better survival rate.

In this research, a comparison of some physical properties of two natural media was made, namely, a selected soil sample from the northwestern segment of the Skopje valley and a sample of river sediment from the river Vardar. The primary parameters of the samples are determined, such as: granulometric composition, specific mass and volume mass in different compacted condition. The secondary physical characteristics are followed, which are a consequence of the previously listed, which are the porosity of the samples and the capillary characteristics. These, further define the following characteristics of the media: maximum water permeability, characteristics of the water transport process and heat transfer through the examined sample layer. Simultaneously, the changes of temperature and moisture at a defined point of the experimental layers are monitored (under appropriate experimental conditions, namely, an emphasized / amplified ΔT is set) and the phenomena are explained.

Waste disposal is just one of the segments in solid municipal waste management system. During the entire life cycle of waste, starting from waste generation, through storage, collection, transport, recycling, treatment and disposal, several different pollutants are emitted. By disposing solid waste, non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) emits various pollutants into the air such as CO2, CO, NMVOC, PM, PAHs, heavy metals, etc. These substances can pose certain problems for human health and the environment. The subject of this study is the calculation of air emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O, NMVOC, PM10, CO, Cd, Cr and PAHs (chrysene and benz[a]anthracene) from NRMM which are included in the activities of receiving and disposing of waste at the Banja Luka landfill. The study evaluates the emission of pollutants using the EEA guidelines for the assessment of the emission of pollutants into the air, based on the consumption of diesel fuel during the year. This study, which is based on the calculation of NRMM emissions at the Banja Luka landfill, should serve as an example not only to other landfills but also to sectors that use NRMM on the importance of keeping track of pollutant emissions. The goal is to look at these emissions and introduce changes and improvements in this sector by replacing old NRMMs with new ones, optimizing operation, using diesel of satisfactory quality, etc.

The municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill is recognized as an anthropogenic source of air pollutants that can have a negative impact on human health and the environment. Workers who work at the MSW landfill may be exposed to risk due to the inhalation of substances such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although VOCs account for 1% in landfill gas, they are important because of the high level of toxicity associated with them. Regular monitoring of air quality and risk assessment provides important information in protecting the health of workers at the landfill. This study focuses on a health risk assessment related to VOCs (benzene, toluene and xylene) exposure via inhalation for workers at a landfill Banja Luka, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Additionally, cancer risk and non-cancer risk of benzene, toluene and xylene of workers indicated that occupational exposures were above recommended standard. This implies that landfill workers are exposed to a significant health risk associated with inhalation exposure to VOCs

The impact of psychosocial factors on quality of life remains the subjects of considerable research globally. Thus, this study investigated the influence of psychosocial factors on quality of life among in-school adolescents in Oriade Local Government Area, of Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive research design of survey type and was conducted in three purposively selected senior secondary schools in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. The population of the study consists of 4,669 in-school adolescents. Slovin’s formula was used to select 369 in-school adolescents from the population. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire consisting of 89 items. Three hypotheses were formulated and multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the data collected. Results show that sleep quality, social media addiction and family relationship jointly predicted quality of life (QoL) among in-school adolescents (F(3,363) = 156.182; p.01). The researchers recommended that both parents and teachers should assist in-school adolescents to improve their sleep quality and family relationship in other to maintain their QoL.

School feeding programme is an important aspect of child’s cognitive development. Home-grown school feeding is an intervention programme designed for school aged children in order to eradicate hunger, increase enrolment, improve pupils’ nutritional value and pupils’ cognitive development whereas these objectives have not be achieved. Therefore, aim of the study is to holistically review the challenges faced in the implementation of home-grown school feeding programme among primary school pupils in Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Mali) and ways of solving these challenges. The paper also reviewed the concept of home-grown school feeding and its challenges. A qualitative research design of systematic search strategy type was used to gathered information in different databases and journals. In the course of the study, the researchers discovered that the programme is faced with the issues of corruption due non- remittance of regular fund to the school vendors and underfunding of the programmes. Other penitent issues include: low and inadequate storage facilities, political interferences, inadequate nutritional meals and low level of implementation. The researchers recommended that caterers should be trained by dieticians on the type of food to prepare for pupils’ and also government should set up a monitoring team to supervise the home-grown school feeding programme for proper implementation in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Mali and other Sub-Sahara Africa Countries.

Introduction: Physical activity has a positive effect on the regulation of diabetes mellitus and has been shown to have benefits in improving health. Aim: Examine the effects of physical activity on changes in glycemic parameters (glucose, HbA1C) and inflammatory parameters (leukocyte count (WBC), CRP) before and one month after the exercise program. Material and Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, analytical, and observational study. Results: T-test of paired samples assessed the impact of physical activity on glycemic and inflammatory parameters in subjects with confirmed Diabetes mellitus type 2 and in subjects without confirmed diabetes mellitus type 2. In subjects with confirmed diabetes the value of eta squared (ɳ2 - eta sqared) is 95%, which indicates a significant impact of physical activity on the change in glucose values and on the change of HbA1C value was indicated by the value of eta square of 93%. When it comes to inflammatory parameters, the impact of physical activity was found in the reduced number of WBC (ɳ2 = 88%), and in CRP (ɳ2 = 90%). In subjects without confirmed diabetes mellitus, a significant effect of physical activity on the change in glucose (ɳ2 = 94%) and HbA1C (ɳ2 = 77%). The influence of physical activity on the reduction of leukocyte count was proven by ɳ2 - eta sqared test (ɳ2 = 66%), as well as a decrease in CRP (ɳ2 = 30%). Conclusion: This study showed a significant impact of physical activity on the reduction of elevated glycemic and inflammatory parameters.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of morbidity, disability, and mortality among the world’s population. In this research, we aim to determine the knowledge about the risk factors for NCDs, as well as socio-demographic differences in the effectiveness of health education materials in disease prevention. Instrument was prepared according to methodological guidelines for population health risks survey (Eurostat, 2018) and knowledge and attitudes related to NCD questionnaire survey. Sample size included 210 participants of both genders (Nmale= 105, Nfemale= 105) systematically selected, residents of Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, who did not have diagnosed chronic non-communicable diseases and used services at primary health care centre Zvezdara. Research results indicate that 27% of all participants had one or more health educational activities in the last six months. More than two thirds of respondents (71%) know that tobacco usage is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, but 54,8% know that cause malignant diseases. More than two thirds of respondents know that inadequate nutritional habits, consumption of industrial products and sweets and low vegetable intake cause cardiovascular diseases and more than half of them know that inadequate nutritional habits causes malignant diseases. Statistically significance difference between groups of participants based on level of education are obtained in attitudes towards the effectiveness of health education material in the prevention of malignant diseases (F= 3.396, p .05), diabetes (F= 3.611, p .05) and respiratory diseases (F= 3.483, p .05) and socio-economic differences in the use of printed and video materials in the prevention of NCDs. Effectiveness of health education materials through preventive activities improve health and reduce risks for NCDs.
非传染性疾病(NCDs)是世界人口中发病、残疾和死亡的主要原因。在这项研究中，我们的目标是确定关于非传染性疾病风险因素的知识，以及健康教育材料在疾病预防方面的有效性的社会人口差异。根据人口健康风险调查方法指南(欧盟统计局，2018年)和与非传染性疾病相关的知识和态度问卷调查编写了文书。样本量包括系统选择的210名男女参与者(男105人，女105人)，他们是塞尔维亚共和国贝尔格莱德的居民，没有诊断出慢性非传染性疾病，并使用Zvezdara初级保健中心的服务。研究结果显示，27%的参与者在过去六个月内参加过一次或多次健康教育活动。超过三分之二的答复者(71%)知道烟草使用是导致心血管疾病的主要原因，但54.8%的答复者知道烟草使用会导致恶性疾病。三分之二以上的答复者知道营养习惯不良、食用工业品和甜食以及蔬菜摄入量低会导致心血管疾病，其中一半以上的答复者知道营养习惯不良会导致恶性疾病。不同受教育程度的参与者对健康教育材料在预防恶性疾病(F= 3.396, p .05)、糖尿病(F= 3.611, p .05)和呼吸系统疾病(F= 3.483, p .05)方面的有效性的态度，以及在使用印刷和视频材料预防非传染性疾病方面的社会经济差异，均存在统计学上的显著差异。通过预防活动提高卫生教育材料的有效性，可改善健康并减少非传染性疾病的风险。
