    Abstract 2D Land cadastre on the present territory of the Republic of Croatia has been continuously developed in the last 200 years. Throughout the years, survey methods, needs and purposes of cadastre have changed. This resulted in a variety of cadastral data with different accuracy and completeness. Today, we can collect an enormous amount of data and the need for cadastral data has never been greater. We need to find feasible solutions to make the initial acquisition of 3D cadastral data which would satisfy the needs of stakeholders involved in Land Administration System (LAS).This paper will present a historical background of the cadastral data acquisition which would help to understand circumstances on how this variety of available cadastral data has been produced and the data available nowadays. Based on the historical overview and the overview of the current state, we will upgrade the data model of a LAS used in Croatia to support the implementation of a 3D cadastre. The model will include its static components but also proposed improvements of cadastral resurvey related processes. The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), which in 2012 became the ISO 19,152 standard, will be used as the formal basis.This paper offers a proposal for cadastral resurvey improvements, better registration of public rights and registration of separate parts of real properties. It will identify and explore critical points and make recommendations to bring Real Property Cadastre closer to a real 3D register.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential association between genetic variants in genes encoding the components of RNA-induced silencing complex and prostate cancer (PCa) risk. Genetic variants chosen for this study are rs3742330 in DICER1, rs4961280 in AGO2, rs784567 in TARBP2, rs7813 in GEMIN4 and rs197414 in GEMIN3.
    Methods: The study involved 355 PCa patients, 360 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and 318 healthy controls. For individuals diagnosed with PCa, clinicopathological characteristics including serum prostate-specific antigen level at diagnosis, Gleason score (GS) and clinical stage were determined. Genotyping was performed using high-resolution melting analysis, PCR-RFLP, TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay and real-time PCR-based genotyping assay using specific probes. Allelic and genotypic associations were evaluated by unconditional linear and logistic regression methods.
    Results: The study provided no evidence of association between the analyzed genetic variants and PCa risk. Nevertheless, allele A of rs784567 was found to confer the reduced risk of higher serum PSA level at diagnosis (P = 0.046; Difference = -66.64, 95 % CI -131.93 to 1.35, for log-additive model). Furthermore, rs4961280, as well as rs3742330, were shown to be associated with GS. These variants, together with rs7813, were found to be associated with the lower clinical stage of PCa. Also, rs3742330 minor allele G was found to be associated with lower PCa aggressiveness (P = 0.036; OR 0.14, 95 % CI 0.023-1.22, for recessive model).
    Conclusions: According to our data, rs3742330, rs4961280 and rs7813 qualify for potentially protective genetic variants against PCa progression. These variants were not shown to be associated with PCa risk.

    Abstract Results of numerous studies gave contradictory conclusions when analysing associations between copy number variants (CNVs) within the azoospermia factor (AZF) locus of the Y chromosome and idiopathic male infertility. The aim of this study was to identify the presence and possible association of CNVs in the AZF region of Y chromosome with idiopathic male infertility in the Serbian population. Using the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification technique, we were able to detect CNVs in 24 of 105 (22.86%) infertile men and in 11 of 112 (9.82%) fertile controls. The results of Fisher's exact test showed a statistically significant difference between cases and controls after merging g(reen)-r(ed)/g(reen)-r(ed) and b(lue)2/b(lue)3 partial deletions identified in the AZFc region (p = 0.024). At the same time, we observed a trend towards statistical significance for a deletion among gr/gr amplicons (p = 0.053). In addition to these, we identified a novel complex CNV involving inversion of r2/r3 amplicons, followed by b2/b3 duplication and b3/b4 deletion, respectively. Additional analyses on a larger study group would be necessary to draw meaningful conclusions about associations among CNVs that presented with higher frequency in the infertile men than the fertile controls.

    Abstract This paper explores the laws and other legal acts related to the Croatian 3D cadastre with an emphasis on those which relate to interests in strata, spatial planning, and other regulations that are valid or were valid on Croatian territory. The effects of the application of these regulations on the present situation of registration in cadastre and land register were considered. This paper also explores current legal, institutional, and technical solutions implemented in the Croatian Land Administration System and the possibilities for its upgrade to 3D cadastre. Implementation of any technological option to establish a 3D cadastre is tightly related to legislation. Hence, legislation and technological options are considered to find solutions that will be possible to implement. One suggestion presented in this paper was to use other sources of 3D data such as topographic signs or symbols used to represent topographic objects on 2D maps. In combination with other geodetic and cartographic products, useful information can be obtained, often quite relevant to provide a reference context for a 3D cadastre. Topographic signs on topographic maps and on other geodetic products provide a representation of complex real-world situations (tunnels, bridges, overpasses etc.) that are not usually presented on cadastral maps. This paper presents the possibility of utilizing those topographic signs to achieve the first steps towards establishing a 3D cadastre. Furthermore, this study proposes the establishment of a 3D Multipurpose Land Administration System as the most efficient system of land administration in a time when spatial information is easier to obtain than ever before and traditional real estate registers are subject to frequent and demanding changes.

    Abstract The food and agribusiness is an important sector in European logistics with a share in the EU road transport of about 20%. One of the main logistic challenges in this sector is to deal with the high dynamics and uncertainty in supply and demand. This paper discusses the opportunities of Future Internet (FI) technologies to addresses the specific demands on information systems for logistics in the food and agribusiness domain. More specifically, it presents a Future Internet (FI) based design for smart agri-food logistic information systems. This design aims to enable new types of efficient and responsive logistics networks with flexible chain-encompassing tracking and tracing systems and decision support based on that information. These systems effectively virtualise the logistics flows from farm to fork, support a timely and error-free exchange of logistics information and provide functionality for intelligent analysis and reporting of exchanged data to enable early warning and advanced forecasting.

    Abstract Due to their potentially functional significance, genetic variants within microRNA genes have been recognized as candidates for cancer-related genetic biomarkers. Among the most extensively studied so far are rs3746444, rs11614913 and rs895819. Nevertheless, only few previous studies in Asian population analyzed the association of rs3746444 and rs11614913 with prostate cancer (PCa) risk, while rs895819 was not evaluated in relation to this issue. The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between these genetic variants and PCa risk and progression in Serbian population. 355 samples of peripheral blood were obtained from the patients with PCa and 353 samples from patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 312 volunteers derived from general population who gave samples of buccal swabs were included in the control group. Genotyping of rs3746444, rs11614913 and rs895819 was performed by using PCR-RFLP method, HRM analysis and allele-specific PCR, respectively. Allelic and genotypic associations were evaluated by unconditional linear (for serum PSA level in PCa patients) and logistic regression method with adjustment for age. Minor allele C of rs895819 was found to be associated with the increased risk of developing PCa under dominant (P=0.035; OR=1.38, 95%CI 1.02-1.86) and overdominant (P=0.04; OR=1.37, 95%CI 1.01-1.85) genetic model. Same genetic variant was found to be associated with the clinical stage of localized PCa, as well as with the presence of distant metastases. Allele G of rs3746444 was also shown to be associated with the decreased risk of PCa progression. According to our data, rs3746444 qualifies for a genetic variant potentially associated with PCa aggressiveness in Serbian population. Furthermore, our study provided the first evidence of association between rs895819 and PCa risk, as well as for its genetic association with the presence of distant metastases among PCa patients.

    Abstract Background: This study was undertaken to assess the reliability of duplex scanning, as compared with digital subtraction angiography, in diagnosing peripheral arterial disease of the lower limbs.
    Patients and methods: 60 legs were studied. Each leg was divided in 5 arterial segments, from aortoiliac to popliteal. Duplex scanning and digital subtraction angiography were performed. The disease in each segment was assessed as significant or insignificant or classified into five categories concerning the grade of stenosis (patent vessel or no diameter reduction, mild stenosis, i.e. 1-19% diameter reduction, moderate and severe stenosis, i.e. 20-49% and 50-99% diameter reduction, respectively, and occluded vessel). Three statistical approaches were applied: calculating sensitivity and specificity, Kappa statistics, and weighted Kappa value. Median grades of arterial stenosis across different segments, according to angiography measurements, were also calculated.
    Results: The duplex sensitivity in detecting significant lesions ranged from 0.46 to 0.88. The Kappa values of agreement between duplex and angiography ranged from 0.35 to 0.64. Weighted Kappa values ranged from 0.45 to 0.72. Median grades of arterial lesions ranged from 2 (interquartile range 1-2) to 4 (3-4) and differed significantly (Kruskal-Wallis H test, p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The sensitivities and specificities suggested various duplex reliabilities in detecting significant arterial disease across different lower limbs segments. The Kappa values, in general, testified duplex's insufficient accuracy in grading the severity of stenosis. However, weighted Kappa values confirmed duplex's better ability to approximate the grade of stenosis. The arterial segments themselves were unevenly affected with the peripheral arterial disease.

    Title translation Comparison of clinical assessment and invasive evaluation of hemodynamic parameters in septic shock.
    Abstract The authors compare, in this prospective study, the accuracy of their own clinical assessment of hemodynamic parameters and severity of disease with the findings obtained by right heart catheterization in 50 patients with septic shock. The purpose of the study was to determine whether Swan-Ganz catheter insertion was necessary in all patients with septic shock. As soon as the diagnosis was established, the value of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was estimated, as well as presence or absence of pathological uptake/supply dependency in all patients. The latter is an excellent indicator of severity of disease. The accurate assessment was noted in 27 (54%) patients (1. investigator), and in 30 (60%) patients (2. investigator). The sensitivity of detection of pathological uptake/supply dependency amounted to 53% and 65%; specificity was 73% and 79%, respectively. The therapy was altered in 21 patients (42%) after catheter insertion. The results were tested with chi2-test (p < 0.01). The findings of this study warrant catheter insertion in patients with septic shock.
