Aims: To detect MYB gene breaks in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary glands and its correlation with prognosis and selected clinical parameters Methods: MYB gene break was detected by FISH assay in 23 adenoid cystic carcinomas using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate prognosis. Results: Fifteen of 23 evaluated tumours were MYB positive and 8 MYB negative. The 10-year cumulative survival, respectively disease free interval, was 60.0%, respectively 59.3%, in MYB positive patients and 88.5%, respectively 80.0%, in MYB negative patients (long rank test, P =0.23). There were no significant differences in age, gender, perineural invasion, the presence of hematogenic or nodal metastases or degree of histopathological grading between MYB positive and MYB negative patients. Conclusion: A tendency to differences in the survival of patients with ACC, depending on their MYB status. MYB negative patients were predisposed to better prognosis.

Transition from education to work occurs at different points in time in different countries, depending on a range of educational and labour market characteristics. A purely micro-level approach to youth transitions would readily acknowledge the importance of contextual factors at the macro level. Individual expectations and actions are always affected by particular macro-level opportunity structures, mainly defined by the jobs available in particular occupations, industries, or regions for young people with particular qualifications and other resources. This article provides a macro-level approach of the transition process from school to the world of work in the EU and OECD countries. The paper poses two main research questions: first, are there school-to-work transition differences according to educational level, race and sex, and second, does the level of education affect the spell duration of unemployment and employment? The results indicate that the school-to-work transition speed differs in the selected group of countries by education level, race and sex. In seven of the ten European countries, the average search period for the first regular employment after graduation lasted for only 3 to 6 months and about 5% of those had been unemployed most of the time. The analysis shows that Spain, Italy and France consistently performed worst when considering the length of the transition process from school-to-work., Proces prijelaza iz sustava obrazovanja na tržište rada pojavljuje se u različitim zemljama u različitom vremenskom trenutku ovisno o karakteristikama tržišta rada i stupnju obrazovanja. Čisti mikroekonomski pristup tranziciji mladih odmah bi potvrdio važnost kontekstualnih faktora na makro nivou. Pojedinačna očekivanja i postupci uvijek su pod utjecajem određenih makroekonomskih prilika koje su uglavnom određene dostupnošću poslova u određenim zanimanjima, industrijama ili regijama za mlade ljude s posebnim kvalifikacijama i vještinama. U ovom radu istražuje se proces prijelaza iz sustava obrazovanja na tržište rada na makroekonomskoj razini u zemljama EU i OECD. Postavljaju se dva temeljna istraživačka pitanja: prvo, da li postoje razlike u procesu prijelaza iz sustava obrazovanja na tržište rada prema stupnju obrazovanja, rasi i spolu i drugo, da li stupanj obrazovanja utječe na razdoblje trajanja nezaposlenosti i zaposlenosti? Uzimajući u obzir dva temeljna pitanja istraživanja postavljena u ovom radu, rezultati ukazuju kako se proces prijelaza iz sustava obrazovanja na tržište rada razlikuje u skupini odabranih zemalja obzirom na stupanj obrazovanja, rasu i spol. U sedam od deset europskih zemalja, prosječno razdoblje traženja prvog zaposlenja na puno radno vrijeme nakon završenog fakulteta trajalo je samo 3 do 6 mjeseci. Gotovo 5% takvih bilo je većinu vremena nezaposleno. Analiza pokazuje kako Španjolska, Italija i Francuska kontinuirano ostvaruju lošije rezultate uzimajući u obzir dužinu procesa prijelaza iz sustava obrazovanja na tržište rada.
