Item type:Publication, Assessment of the Motivation for Smoking Cessation among the Citizens of the Republic of North Macedonia(Galore Knowledge Publication Pvt. Ltd., 2022-04-19); ; ; Marya HubbardIntroduction: North Macedonia is among the top rated countries with high smoking prevalence with high rate of adult smoking 48.4%, and nearly 81.4% of the smokers started smoking before being 25 years of age. This paper will highlight the prevalence and public’s motivation on smoking cessation, broken down into age groups throughout the entire country of North Macedonia. Materials and Methods: The method is an analytical-descriptive method with cross sectional study, as a result to a quantitative-qualitative survey conducted among the population in 2021 with the collaboration of the Virginia Tech University and the NGO Link Across. Data from the Qualtrics housed surveys and the completed paper surveys were entered into an Excel DB. Descriptive statistics were generated for all questions. Bivariate data were analyzed using r. Results and Discussion: Smoking is widely spread among all age groups, but with a trend to decrease in numbers as the age is of a higher number - 32.2% belongs to the 18 to 24 year old group. Distribution by gender -57.8% female, 40.4% male. Younger age groups have the highest relative frequencies about the intention to quit smoking within one month. Approximately 16% of participants who were smokers and attempted to quit, were smoke free and successful in cessation. Majority of survey participants who attempted to quit were not successful and resumed smoking within 6 months. This is strong justification of smokers who attempt to quit needing a program that would guide them and maintain the attempts for cessation. Conclusions: New state programs for smoking cessation should be offered as soon as possible. Also regarding the changes in smoking protection laws, they should be analyzed; some of the changes need to be reverted regarding the law legislation of the new modern ways of tobacco use, which are on the rise all over the world. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, DERMATOGLYPHIC PATTERNS AMONG STUDENTS IN NORTH MACEDONIA(Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, 2026-03-24); ; ; ; Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is a scientific discipline that studies the epidermal ridge patterns present on the palmar surfaces of the hands, the toes and the plantar surfaces of the feet. Aim. An analysis of individual dermatoglyphic characteristics in healthy medical students of Macedonian and Albanian ethnicity was conducted. Material and methods: The study included 234 healthy students; palm prints were obtained and dermatoglyphic parameters were read, classified and compared with data reported in the dermatoglyphic literature. Imprinting was done by the Cummins and Midlo ink method. The reading and classification of dermatoglyphic patterns were performed according to Henry's system. Results: Ulnar loops were the most prevalent patterns, followed by circular, arcuate and complex patterns, which were present in a small percentage in both genders; radial loop was present only on the second finger in both genders. There were differences on the right hand for the second, fourth and fifth finger, and on the left hand for the third, fourth and fifth finger between males and females. Also, significant differences were found in the third and fourth interdigital spaces and hypothenar area. The triradii distribution formula in females was: a > b > d > c > t; whereas in males it was: a > t > b > c = d. Additional triradii were rare in both genders. The atd angle was within the range of 32ᵒ -55ᵒ in females and 33ᵒ -50ᵒ in males, most often 40ᵒ in both groups. Conclusion: This population-based study have shown similarities and differences in the prevalence of some dermatoglyphic features in males and females among healthy students. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
