Prirodoslovne znanosti obuhvacaju vrlo siroko podrucje ljudskih djelatnosti, pa je od velike važnosti njihovo klasificiranje i određivanje razina pojedinih znanja potrebnih ucitelju. Ovjde zato izlažemo Katalog specificnih znanja, vjestina i sposobnosti te razina osposobljenosti koje ce doprinjeti uravnoteženju obrazovanja u prirodoslovnom podrucju za ucitelje razredne nastave...

Osobe životne dobi između 75. i 84. godine prema funkcionalnom statusu svrstavaju se u osobe srednje starosti. Iako gubitak zubi nije normalan dio starenja, bitna je nužnost individualnog gerontoloskog pristupa te je potrebna prilagodba dijagnostike, lijecenja i rehabilitacije u starijoj životnoj dobi. U nasem slucaju prikazana je pacijentica stara 79 godina, dobrog zdravstvenog stanja obzirom na dob, a koja nije mogla nositi unilateralnu parcijalnu protezu. Kako je cilj terapije sto brže i efikasnije rjesavanje problema u sto manje kirurskih zahvata, plan terapije uvijek mora biti jasan i svakako treba voditi racuna o izboru i redoslijedu tehnika koji su osnovna predpostavka uspjesne terapije. U nasem slucaju zbog kostanog defekta nakon uklanjanja korijena ocnjaka te zbog nemogucnosti imedijatne ugradnje implantata,...

Mnogi ucitelji u praksi izbegavaju izvanucionicku nastavu upravo zbog slabog poznavanja pojava u prirodi, organizama i njihove međuovisnosti. Zato se na Uciteljskom fakultetu u Osijeku poklanja velika pozornost upravo terenskom radu studenata u prirodi. Terenska nastava je predmet povezan s Prirodoslovljem 1 i 2 s kojima cini cjelinu. Usvajanjem prirodoslovnih sadržaja u izvornoj situaciji u prirodi osiguravaju se kvalitativne perceptivne, misaone i prakticne djelatnosti potrebne za buduci samostalni rad ucitelja...

Kirursko odstranjivanje ocnjaka može dovesti do masivnog gubitka alveolarne kosti te svakako kompromitirati daljnju kirursko-protetsku rehabilitaciju. Cilj je sto brža i efikasnija terapija, odnosno rjesavanje problema u sto manje kirurskih zahvata, sto ponekad može biti kontraproduktivno i kompromitirajuce za konacan rezultat lijecenja. Plan terapije uvijek mora biti jasan i svakako treba voditi racuna o izboru i redoslijedu tehnika koji su osnovna pretpostavka uspjesne terapije. U nasem slucaju zbog velikog kostanog defekta nakon uklanjanja ocnjaka te zbog nemogucnosti imedijatne ugradnje implantata, koristena je klasicna tehnika vođene kostane regeneracije (GBR) prije same implantacije. U tu svrhu koristili smo kombiniranu tehniku regeneracije kosti upotrebom autogenog transplantata i ksenotransplantata Bio-Oss® te prirodne resorbirajuce membrane Bio-Gide®.

Ispitanici i postupci: Provedeno je istraživanje kvalitete života nakon odstranjenja donjeg umnjaka kod 108 ispitanika. Ovisno o tipu informacije dane svakom ispitaniku posebice, ispitanici su podijeljeni u dvije skupine: ispitnu u kojoj su pacijenti dobili detaljan pismeni i usmeni naputak te kontrolnu skupinu u kojoj su dobili samo pismeni naputak o postupanju nakon operativnoga zahvata. U prvom dijelu istraživanja istražen je utjecaj spola, indeksa tjelesne mase, iskustva operatera i pozicije zuba na intenzitet boli prvih sedam poslijeoperacijskih dana.

In the curriculum of early and preschool education, it is necessary to include more resources/activities for the development of the child's competencies in natural sciences. The freedom of choosing the methodological approach in the introduction of natural science content to children of early and preschool age contributes to the dynamics and comprehensiveness of education. This emphasizes the importance of educators' creative efforts in curriculum design, particularly in linking methods and implicit methodological culture to create a successful modern educator's practice. Relying on theoretical approaches to modern forms of education, theoretical analysis and the results of respective authors, the paper emphasizes the importance of the experiment method in an integrated curriculum of early and preschool education.

Since 1999 the emission of SO2 has been significantly lowered. Previous investigation revealed that the lowering of S-concentrations in Black pine needles started about two years after the drop of SO2 concentrations in air. The aim of this study was to examine the appearance of epicuticular waxes around stomata of previous- season Black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) needles. Also, we tried to correlate S-concentration in the needles with the S-deposition on needle surface.Materials and Methods: previous -year needles were collected from the upper crown of Black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) trees grown at different distances from the Plomin thermal power plant: zone I - less than 10 km, zone II - 10-20 km and zone III - 20-30 km. Chemical analysis included determination of total sulfur concentration. S-deposition on needle surface was determined by the energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). The investigation of epicuticular wax micromorphology was done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A hundred stomata per zone were counted and tge degree of epicuticular wax degradation was assesed. Results: Sulfur concentrations in the previous-season Black pine needles were the same for all three zones. S- deposition was also practicaly the same for all zones. Although the highest value was recorded in zonr III, there was no statistical significance in respect to other two zones. Epicuticular wax structure revealed that all analyzed stomata could be classified either as stage 4 (51-80% covered by amorphous wax) or stage 5 (81-100% covered by amorphous wax) of injury. Stages 1, 2 and 3 were totaly absent. Stages 4 and 5 were differentally represented in each particular zone: the increase in the proportion of stage 5 in respect to the stage 4 was significant when zones I and III were compared. Conclusions: Despite the absence of any significant differences between the trees grown at different distances from the emission source, with regard to needle S content as well as the S deposition on needle surfaces, changes in epicuticular wax micromorphology were observed. higher percentage of stage 5 of wax injury in zone I than in zone III indicates higher environmental pressure that was present in zone I over the time of needle exposure.

Cilj radionice bio je jednostavnim i uzrastu prila gođenim zadatcima upoznati učenike četvrtih razreda osnovne škole sa životom i djelom Charlesa Darwina, ali i potaknuti ih na daljnje istraživanje i razmišljanje o prirodnim procesima i postupnom nastan ku i razvoju živoga svijeta te ih uvesti u prirodoslovne sadržaje viših razreda osnovne i srednje škole. Pedagoška radionica, koja promiče suradničko učenje, pomaknula je učenje iz okvira tradicionalne nasta ve, kako oblikom rada tako i temom.

Method: The research on QoL after removal of a lower wisdom tooth was conducted with 108 patients. Depending on the type of information given to each respondent individually, the examinees were divided into two groups: a test group which was given detailed written and oral instructions, and a control group which received only written instructions about treatment after the surgery. In this research were examined the QoL using modified OHIP-14 criterion four, seven and thirty days after the operation depending on the type of information previously provided to the respondents. In order to reduce the dimensionality of the obtained data sets, as well as in order to explain the relationship between the examined variables that are interrelated we applied a principal component analys...

They were invited to the missions as experts of the World health Organization. Branko Cvjetanović became an assistant of the Department of Social Medicine and Hygiene, Epidemiology. He was the first specialist in Croatia who introduced the concept of controlled field trials in epidemiology. Cvjetanović spent a large part of his career in Geneva where he was leading Department of Bacterial Diseases of the World Health Organization. He was working on simulation models of the dynamics of infectious diseases. Branimir Richter, the most famous Croatian parasitologist, started his career with a mission to eradicate malaria. Later he led antimalarial campaign in Croatia till malaria was eradicated in 1954. Working a...
