In this paper the author pays attention to the practice of drinking from big rakija, the so-called "tea" glass, distributed among the Serbs in Ibarski Kolašin. This act the author observes as an aspect of culture which Serbs from Ibarski Kolašin perceive as an element of their tradition, while the emphasis in the paper is on the subjective side of the researched phenomenon, what means that attention is focused on understanding the way in which its immediate bearers think and speak about it. The idea of the author, in other words, was to try to replace the classic ethnographic description of drinking from the "tea" glass, which would be given from the "outside", from the researcher's point of view, with the approach in which the emphasis would be on personal descriptions of the mentioned practice, given from the point of view of its concrete bearers. The analytical procedure applied in achieving the set goal was based on an anthropologically key perspective, and that is the emic perspective, or view from the "inside", which means that, methodologically speaking, the author had used the qualitative approach, primarily the conversation with interlocutors. In this way, the author obtained the narrative material, which he transcribed, systematized, selected, and then transferred to the paper in an effort to present it in its original form, as it was noted in direct contact with interlocutors. The narrative material presented in the paper was obtained on the basis of field research conducted in Kosovska Mitrovica and Zubin Potok on several occasions during 2021 and 2022.

In this paper the author starts from previous research on the position of Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica, of which the main part he conducted in the period from 2011 to 2014. Based on the results of this research, the everydayness of the local Serbs, in the changed socio-political context in Kosovo and Metohija after the NATO aggression in 1999, the author described as everydayness "captured" in a post-war state of conflict, filled with feelings of threat from Albanians and fear of an uncertain tomorrow. Bearing in mind the changes that took place in Kosovo and Metohija after the 2011-2014 research, which were initiated by the implementation of the Brussels Agreement, which meant integration of the institutions of the Republic of Serbia into the institutional system of self-proclaimed independent Kosovo, the author intends to give a contribution to understanding the situation of the Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica today. He directs attention to the analysis of the local Serbs' attitudes towards the outcomes of the Brussels Agreement, and makes an effort to answer the question whether the thesis of the "captured" everydayness of the researched Serbian community is applicable today as it was according to the results of research conducted from 2011 to 2014. The methodological procedure applied in achieving the set goal was based on an anthropological key perspective, and that is the emic perspective, which means that the author used the qualitative research approach, primarily the conversation with interlocutors. The data and results presented in the paper was obtained on the basis of field research conducted in Kosovska Mitrovica during March and April 2022.

In this paper the author presents results of research on the position of Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica in the context of the integration of the North of Kosovo and Metohija into the institutional system of the self-proclaimed independent Kosovo, foreseen by the Brussels Agreement from 2013. The focus of the paper is on the attitude of the Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica towards the outcomes of the Brussels Agreement, where the emphasis is placed on viewing the way in which the members of the researched Serbian community talk about their position from the aspect of one of the main sentiments woven into their experience of their own status practically all the time since the ethnic division of Kosovska Mitrovica in 1999 until today, and that is the feeling of apprehention from an uncertain tomorrow. In a situation where they are practically excluded from making decicions regarding the application of the Brussels agreement, the research was motivated by the effort to enable the Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica to "speak", in the hope that their voice will reach not only the scientific, but also the wider social public. The goal of the paper, in that sense, is aimed at understanding the way in which the Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica describe their current situation, that is, at providing an answer to the question of how, in the context of feeling uncertainty about tomorrow, they think about their future. The method applied in achieving the set goal was based on the emic, anthropological key perspective, which means that the author used the qualitative research approach, primarily the conversation with interlocutors. The results presented in the paper were obtained on the basis of field research conducted in Kosovska Mitrovica on several occations during 2022.

The paper analyzes the levels of magnetic flux density in the apartment located above the 10/0.4 kV distribution transformer station. During the first magnetic field testing, it was concluded that in the case of the rated load of the transformers, increased values of magnetic flux density would occur in the apartment. The main sources of magnetic field in the apartment were the busbars and cable lines connecting the transformers and the 0.4 kV distribution cabinets. For that reason it is proposed to apply measures to reduce the levels of magnetic flux density, which are described in detail in the paper. After implementing the proposed measures, magnetic field testing in the apartment was repeated. The paper presents magnetic field testing results before and after the application of the measures and gives a conclusion regarding the effectiveness of the applied measures as well as regarding the compliance of the levels of magnetic flux density with the exposure limit prescribed by the current national regulations.

In this paper the author presents several main elements of the celebration of Đuren among the Gorani in Prizrenska Gora, an event which, according to the date of the event, coincides with the celebration of Ortodox St. George's Day. The elements of Đuren's celebration the author tries to present taking into account its actors, and the clear spatial and temporal frameworks in which they take place. With this approach, the aim of the paper is to offer a concrete, precise presentation of the main elements of Đuren's celebration, which could be used as an ethnographic material for repeated research of the same phenomenon and comparative monitoring of its duration and possible changes within its structure. The results presented in the paper were obtained from the field research conducted in Gorani village of Vraništa at the end of 2018 and during the celebration of Đuren in 2019. The results achieved by the research showed that the main elements of Đuren's celebration include phenomena of a public, collective character, which imply a mass gathering of members of the Gorani community, and which the Gorani in Prizrenska Gora perceive as a feature of their culture and part of their tradition. Viewed chronologically, the elements of a collective character on the occasion of the celebration of Đuren, recorded in the village of Vraništa, include muzika, tupani and korzo. The content of these elements indicates the solemn character of Đuren's celebration, by which it can be described as a festivity, composed of music and dance segments. Based on ethnographic material collected in 2018-2019, it can be seen that the characteristics of the celebration of Đuren, mentioned by researchers who have dealt with this phenomenon in previous years and decades, are noticeable even today, which testifies of the importance that this event still has for the Gorani. The results presented in the paper point to the conclusion about the continuity of the researched phenomena, which importance is reflected especially from the aspect of their role as a factor by which the Gorani express their belonging to their community. The presented material also indicates the importance of the elements of Đuren's celebration from the aspect of maintaining and establishing ties among the Gorani (especially among youth), but it also raises the question of the role of these elements as a way of expressing gender and generational structure within the Gorani community. The results of the research, finally, point out all the complexity of celebrating Đuren as an event. The elements of this event, the dynamics of their duration, the structure and the role they play in the life of the Gorani, not only in the village of Vraništa, but also in other villages in Prizrenska Gora, have yet to be researched in more detail.

In this paper the author presents a part of the results of field research conducted among Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica between 2011 and 2014. The motive of the research was to offer a contribution to the understanding of the position of the Serbs in this city in the conditions of the altered socio-political context after the war on Kosovo and Metohija in 1999. A part of the research was paid to the problem of the image of Albanians in the perception of Serbs in the context of mutual conflict and the division of Kosovska Mitrovica into two parts - northern, majorly Serbian, and southern - majorly Albanian. This topic has imposed itself practically from the very beginning of the research, due to the fact that the Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica generally defined their everyday life after the war in 1999 through the picture of division towards Albanians. Theoretically, the research was relied on the concept of ethnic identity, or ethnicity. Starting from Roland Barthes' interpretation of this phenomenon, according to which it is reflective, what means defined by boundaries as a social product arising from the need of groups to differentiate between each other, the aim of the research was to provide ethnographic material useful for understanding the identity position of Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica in the conditions of conflict with Albanian ethnic group. Methodologically viewed, the research was conducted by using an anthropological approach, which meant that the studied problem was analyzed at the interpersonal level and through the experiences of individuals. Attention was focused on the discourse, which means that the research topic was observed from the point of view of the testimonies of the respondents included in the research. The testimonies of the respondents were obtained by using in-depth, ie qualitative research methods, in the first place formal and informal interviews. The research showed that the identity discourse of the Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica towards Albanians was marked by distance, imbued with feelings of threat and distrust. Members of the Albanian ethnic group were observed through the generalizing prism of opposing others, so that they were attributed characteristics with most often diametrically different sign compared to the characteristics that the respondents attributed to themselves, to their own, Serbian ethnic group. On the one hand, the respondents attributed negative characteristics to Albanians, which they considered as not appropriate for Serbs. These characteristics were observed at a double level: 1) regardless of contacts with Serbs ("uncultured", "primitive", "uncivilized"); and 2) in the context of mutual contacts (hypocritical, pretentious, cunning, calculated, etc), ie from the aspect of the attitude towards Serbs which was generally described as hostile. Negative characteristics attributed to Albanians respondents perceived as features opposite to the characteristics of Serbs, which means that by emphasizing them, according to the principal of mutual contrast, they implicitly pointed to the positive values of their own, Serbian identity. On the other hand, the respondents attributed certain positive characteristics to Albanians, namely those that they considered to be in favor of members of Albanian ethnic group in relation to Serbs, which the Serbs lacked. These characteristics were also treated in contrast to Serbian characteristics, and they meant patience, tact, wisdom, diligence, meekness, keeping a given word. The results presented in the paper upgrades the results of previous research that included the analyses of the image of Albanians in the perceptions of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija in the conditions of the altered socio-political context in this area after the war in 1999. Presented ethnographic material, obtained in period between 2011 and 2014, showed that Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica perceived Albanians primarily through the prism of simplified ideas, which viewed from identity aspect implied the perception of members of the Albanian ethnic group as violent, and members of their own, Serbian ethnic group as victims. Generalization as a form of opinion about Albanians in the statements of respondents was colored with the intertwining of negative and positive attitudes about the characteristics of members of the Albanian ethnic group, with the fact that these attitudes were expressed in such a way as to compare the characteristics of their own group. Yet, the research obtained several views which softened the contrast between Serbs and Albanians, by pointing out the elements of a social character common to each other. The image of Albanians, in the end, gained some complexity thanks to the attitudes of those respondents who spoke about members of this ethnic group through the perception of direct connections and personal experiences. This brought to light the attitude towards Albanian that in some measure deviated from the prevailing generalizations, which, from an analytical point of view, suggested that the image of members of this ethnic group in the perception of Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica was not as simplified as in the context of mutual conflict it might seem so at first glance.

Clearly defined protocols and multidisciplinary approach present a milestone for patients' condition evaluation. Ultrasound is a fast, accessible, non-invasive and repeatable radiological examination and has an important place in the trauma algorithms. It detects trauma of parenchymal and hollow abdominal organs, hematoperitoneum, and helps in the assessment of volume status. Ultrasound in trauma is performed according to the Focused Assessment with Sonography for the Trauma (FAST) protocol or as a standard ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen and can be repeated to monitor morphological changes due to indications for emergency surgical treatment.

Ultrasound is an essential and often initial visualization diagnostic procedure in all algorithms for urgent care of acute abdominal conditions. Ultrasound is a fast, accessible, non-invasive diagnostic examination method that does not involve ionizing radiation and can be repeated. It is vital in detecting free fluid in the abdominal cavity, acute pathological conditions of parenchymal and hollow organs, and assessing volemic status. Ultrasound efficiently and accurately diagnoses acute pathological conditions of the hepatobiliary and urogenital system. It certainly makes a significant contribution to the definitive diagnosis of pathological conditions of the gastrointestinal and vascular systems and can help detect pneumoperitoneum as an indication for urgent surgical treatment.

In this paper the author presents the results of the research of the everyday life of the Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica in the conditions of the altered socio-political context after the war on Kosovo and Metohija in 1999. The main attention is paid to the status and the functioning of institutions. The aim of the paper is to offer a contribution based on the conceptualization of the ethnographic field work material in order to give the account of the everyday experience of Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica in the conditions of the undefined institutional relations caused by the withdrawal of Serbian authorities from Kosovo and Metohija, the introduction of an international protectorate and the unilateral declaration of Kosovo independence. The results presented in this paper were obtained from the field research conducted several times from 2011 to 2015 in a total duration of over eight months. The change of social-political context after the war in 1999 led to major structural disruptions in Kosovo and Metohija. These disruptions were felt especially in the institutional sphere, where they reflected in almost all aspects of the everyday life of Serbs in this area. The undefined status of institutions, in this regard, has shown to be one of the key issues in the context of the everyday life of the Serb population in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica. The survival of the Serbian institutions for the Serbs in this town represented a confirmation of the presence of the Republic of Serbia in the North of Kosovo and Metohija, which was an important symbol of identification of the local Serbs with the state they considered their own. These institutions, on the other hand, have been under intense international and Albanian pressure since the war in 1999, i. e. under the constant threat of abolition, which caused a continuous feeling of insecurity among the Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica and the concerns regarding their own survival. In the conditions of contested legitimacy the Serbs did not accept the imposed instances of international and Kosovo administration, while the international regulatory bodies and Kosovo institutions did not recognize institutions of the Republic of Serbia, considering them "parallel", i. e. illegal. In Northern Kosovska Mitrovica this led to a social situation characterized by the absence of clearly defined authorities, especially in the domain of executive structures, in which the Serbs in this town led their everyday life in a gap between their needs for carrying out various daily practices on the one hand, and on the other the reality interwoven with intricate institutional relations. The Serbs in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica were forced to adapt to living in "parallel" realities, deprived of the "normalcy" of everyday life inherent in organized societies. Yet, even though they learned how to adapt to those circumstances and even how to take advantage of them, such a reality created a number of everyday problems which, in the conditions of general uncertainty, made their situation even more unfavorable.
