Studija koja je pred nama ispituje politička opažanja i lična politička iskustva studenata Pravnog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu sa aspekta sociološko-pravne analize. Cilj ovog rada je da kombinacijom teorijskog i eksplorativno-empirijskog istraživanja ispita i objasni šta navodi studente da razmišljaju o politici, na koji način oni to čine i kako se to odražava na njihov politički život. U radu možemo uočiti pet celina. U uvodnom delu su izloženi ciljevi ovog rada i perspektiva za koju su se autori odlučili u posmatranju pomenutih fenomena. Drugi deo predstavlja kratak pregled metodologije empirijskog istraživanja. Centralni deo rada posvećen je političkoj participaciji mladih (studenata prava) sa posebnim osvrtom na ulogu medija. Na samom kraju iznosimo zaključke o odlikama i širem društvenom značaju fenomena političke participacije dobijene primenom različitih metoda u multidisciplinarnom pristupu.

Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of cigarette consumption and the differences in smoking habits among university students aged 18-26 years from different faculties in Montenegro. Method. This cross-sectional study was conducted in University of Montenegro in Podgorica and the data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Results. The study enrolled 146 students of both genders (63 males and 83 females) with an average age of 21.63 ± 2.16 years. It was shown that overall prevalence of cigarette consumption was 52.05% among all participants i.e. 21.62% among the students of Faculty of Medicine (p < 0.001). Among the students who practiced smoking, 46.57% of them stated that it was in the period of high school. We did not estimate a significant difference in the daily smoking frequency (number of cigarettes per day) (p = 0.443). Also, study participants did not have a specific time during the day for cigarette consumption (67.20%). The largest number of students (40.70%) light the first cigarette more than half an hour after waking up. University students believed that cigarette smoking could help overcome stressful situations, and that it improved concentration and memory. Smoking status was found to be higher among the students of older age (p < 0.001) and advancing year of faculty (p = 0.002). The analysis showed no significant gender difference in smoking habits. Conclusion. Our investigation confirmed a high prevalence of cigarette consumption among university students in Montenegro, and therefore we recommend that appropriate programs for smoking prevention and cessation be developed.

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and gastroduodenal lesions in Montenegrin patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. The study included 55 hemodialysis patients with dyspeptic symptoms and 50 control subjects with normal kidney function who had also dyspepsia. After dyspepsia assessment by an interview, all subjects underwent gastroduodenoscopy and histopathological analysis of biopsy specimens, taken from the corpus and antrum of the stomach. Helicobacter pylori was confirmed in 50.9% of corpus mucosa i.e. 60.6% of antrum mucosa of maintenance hemodialysis patients. There were no significantly differences in endoscopic findings of the stomach and bacterial presence between the two study groups of participants (p = 0.451), while duodenal lesions were prevalent in control subjects (p < 0.001). The atrophy of corpus mucosa was more common in hemodialysis patients (p = 0.007), especially in those who have been on hemodialysis for a longer time (p < 0.001) and had lower pH (p = 0.011). The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection shown an inverse relationship with dialysis duration. Contrary, a positive relationship between Helicobacter pylori and the concentration of bicarbonate was demonstrated (p = 0.031). The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori and atrophic mucosal changes in Montenegrin hemodialysis patients depends on dialysis duration and acid-base balance.
