Phthalates are esters of phthalic acid and aliphatic alcohols. It is widely used in everyday life, and can be used as a plasticizer, solvents and additives in many products, from food packaging to items of general use. Plastic materials are widely used in food industry and potentially can be source of phtalates in food. Phtalates can be present in food as a result of contamination of food. Phtalates in food, as a result of contamination of food or migration from packaging can jeopardiye human health. This work provides an overview of the presence of phthalates in food packaging, its migration into food, as well as the negative impact on human health by consuming and inhaling them.

Gluten contains two fractions, which are represented in equal amounts. These are soluble gliadins and insoluble glutenins. Glutenin fraction is responsible for the dough and gluten viscoelastic properties. The dominant type of protein in glutenins are LMW glutenins. The aim of this paper was to examine the influence of solvent type and column temperature on the separation effectiveness of LMW glutenins. Extraction was performed with 50% (v/v) ethanol, 1-propanol and isopropanol to which Tris-HCl (0.05 mol/l, pH=7.5), urea (2 mol/l) and dithioerythritol (1%) were added. Separation of LMW glutenins was performed on HPLC Agilent Techologies 1260 Infinity apparatus. After the extraction with 50% (v/v) ethanol, 1-propanol and isopropanol to which Tris-HCl (0.05 mol/l, pH=7.5), urea (2 mol/l) and dithioerythritol (1%) were added, the highest number of proteins was observed after extraction with 50% (v/v) 1-propanol and at a column temperature of 40°C (Xsr=20, respectively RC=69.56%), and the lowest number at a column temperature of 45°C (Xsr=14.17, respectively RC=66.42%). The obtained results were read at a wavelength of 210 nm.

High prevalence of cerebrovascular insults (CVI) and their comorbidity with depression additionally makes difficult not just quality of life, also its serious obstacle to all measurements and attempts of patient’s rehabilitation. The scope of work is to show frequency of depression after CVI ischemic type in whole its specifics in order to age of patients, gender, localization of lesion, as well as on level of physical handicapping. International classification of disease (MKB-10), Hamilton scale of depression (HAM-D-17) and Barthel index scale of disability were used for diagnosis. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS programme. Among 103 patients with CVI 43 of them (41.7%) were found with consequential depression what was monitored in following six months after CVI. From total number of depressions after CVI in the age of 58 years old 14 (32.6%) were found, and in the age between 59-63 years old there were 17 (39.5%) found. In the later ages that percentage was significantly lower. This result had proved significant connection between age group and depression status (p<0.05): χ² (3, n = 103) = 12.24; p=0.007, Cramer’s V=0.34. Depression appearance after CVI in relation to genders has showed difference. Depression was marked at 16 (25.8%) male and 27 (65.8%) at female patients: χ² (1,n=103)=14.67; p=0.0002;Phi=0.4. Localization of lesion was significant in emergence of depression. In frontal part were found at 21 examinees, in basal ganglia at 16 and rest of localizations were found at 6 examinees: Depressions presence were more found at lesion localizations in left hemisphere, but no statistical importance. There were some correlation between level of physical disability and depression severity.

Increased levels of cholesterol and blood sugar are public health problems that are increasingly important, because they cause micro and macro complications. In order to prevent this condition, terms of modifying the style of life and eating habits need to be changed. This paper has determinated the way in which the effect of a lifestyle reduces cholesterol and blood sugar levels, with a particular emphasis on the effect that diet and modern lifestyle have on diabetes, that is, on the increase in cholesterol levels. The aim of the paper is to highlight problems that arise from increased levels of cholesterol and blood sugar, but also to present possible solutions to these problems, or to improve the condition of patients. The research was carried out on a sample of 80 respondents from the Republic of Srpska, where the respondents were divided into two groups (experimental group and control group). Respondents from the experimental group had, before and after a 30-day application of a health diet, measured values of cholesterol and blood sugar.

Metabolic syndrome is a set of several different pathological conditions and risk factors that are often the cause of many unwanted cardiac and cerebrovascular occurrences. It is highly represented around the world, especially in countries with excessive and inadequate nutrition, insufficient physical activity of the population and obesity, with a constant growth trend. The work included 1052 patients with HTA of which DM was 309 (29.4%). Out of the total number of 1052 patients with metabolic syndrome there were 675 (64.2%) patients. Observing certain determinants of the metabolic syndrome HTA was present in all observed patients. Low HDL cholesterol values were found in 503 (74.5%) patients and the lowest incidence was hyperglycaemia (252 mg / 37.3%). Implemented pharmacological treatment measures have led, in most patients, the blood pressure to optimal or normal. The effect of pharmacological therapy on glycaemic value in patients with metabolic syndrome led to the normalization of glycaemia in majority of patients. The results achieved have improved the quality of life of patients and motivated them for further treatment.

Air quality has been a major concern throughout the world, Nigeria inclusive. The monitoring of air quality involves indoor and outdoor air quality. In this study, our concern was on indoor air quality. The aim of this study was to assess the air quality of residential homes (17), classrooms (3), hospitals (2), offices (5), Shops (2), and laboratories (5) in Akure, Nigeria in terms of formaldehyde (HCHO), total volatile organic compound (TVOC), Particulate matter (PM1.0; PM2.5, and PM10). A Multifunction Air Detector was used for the assessment using the manufacturers’ procedures and the locations were identified using a Mini GPS. The results revealed as follows: HCHO (0.001-0.030 mg/m3), TVOC (0.003-362 mg/m3), PM1.0 (004-014 µg/m3), PM2.5 (006-020 µg/m3), and PM10 (006-022 µg/m3). The results obtained were below the 24 h pollution recommended standards (0.1 mg/m3- HCHO; TVOC; 10-20 μ/m3 PM) of EPA and WHO. Statistically, there were correlations within the pollutants and weather. The Indoor air quality (IAQ) depicted the areas as ‘good,’ and toxicity potential (TP) were below unity. Although the locations looked safe, it is recommended that constant monitoring of the indoors should be ensured and proper ventilation should be provided.

This paper investigates the impact of accidental release of propane gas in surrounding areas consequences of propane gas leak studying the negative effects on both the environment and individuals. Subject of the research is impact of accidental release of propane gas in in business zone “Ramići-Banja Luka”, Banja Luka. The ALOHA software has been used in this paper to modelling of propane release. The modelling was performed for an accidental release of 4,000 kg propane from unsheltered single storied for one hour. For a typical average atmospheric condition in location, this accidental propane release would cause a red zone of 101 metres (AEGL-3=33,000 ppm), orange zone of 159 metres (AEGL-2=17,000 ppm) and yellow zone of 324 metres (AEGL-1=5,500 ppm) to downwind from the source.

Mycotoxins are nowadays one of the most known and most frequent chemical food contaminants. Among the listed mycotoxins, aflatoxins are the most important group of mycotoxins in terms of impact on human and animal health. Of the known mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 is considered the most toxic. The main sources of aflatoxins are cereals, oilseeds, nuts, dried fruit, and spices. The most commonly used screening method for the detection of mycotoxins is the immunoenzyme (ELISA) method. The purpose of this paper is to show the types of foodstuffs and the results of sample analyses of aflatoxin B1 in these foodstuffs carried out at the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Srpska - Regional Center Doboj in the period from 2011 to 2017, and to propose measures for improvement of supervision in this area, i.e. to recommend certain measures in order to prevent the occurrence of aflatoxins in foodstuffs.

Athiology of some health disorders and diseases, such as obesity, cardio vascular diseases, diabetes and malignant diseases, can be linked to unbalanced diet started from the earliest days of life. For that reasons, it is very important to adopt proper diet patterns from the earliest days of life. There are few factors influencing choice of food. Food flavoure is one among them. Understanding mechanisms, which later make influence how to accept or reject some food in children, in intrauterine development phase, and after birth period, is of vital significance when we create healthy habbits for children and adult diets.
