Ogledalu je človek že od prvih dni naše zahodne civilizacije pripisoval različne mitološke in nadnaravne lastnosti. Običajni človek je v ogledalu prirejal samega sebe, filozof pa je namesto o narobe obrnjenem posnetku originala razmišljal o ideji objekta, ki se je zrcalilo v svetu onkraj ogledala. Od Sokrata in Platona naprej je človek v zrcalih spoznaval samega sebe, umetnik pa je v njem poleg sebe spoznaval še okolico, v kateri je živel in ustvarjal. Z ogledali si je umetnik pomagal razširjati in spoznavati realni in likovni prostor ter postavljal vprašanje o zrcalu in odsevu kot membrani med svetovi. Various mythological and supernatural qualities have been attributed to the mirror since the first days of our Western civilization. The common man arranged himself in the mirror, and the philosopher, instead of looking at the wrong-turned image of the original, thought of the idea of an object mirrored in a world beyond the mirror. From Socrates and Plato onwards, man got to know himself in mirrors, and in addition to himself, the artist got to know the surroundings in which they lived and created. Through mirrors, the artist helped to expand and comprehend the real and the artistic space, and asked the question of the mirror and the reflection as a membrane between worlds.

Mineraloško, petrografsko in geokemično smo raziskali dajk miocenske starosti iz Podkraja pri Mežici. Za raziskavo kamnine smo uporabili naslednje raziskovalne metode: optično mikroskopijo v presevni svetlobi, elektronsko mikroskopijo (SEM-EDS), rentgensko fluorescenčno analizo (XRF), rentgensko praškovno difrakcijo (XRD) in multielementno geokemično masnospektrometrično analizo (ICP-MS). Makroskopsko je raziskovani dajk debelozrnati porfirski andezit, z do 2 cm velikimi vtrošniki plagioklazov, do 4 mm velikimi biotiti in do 6 mm velikimi vtrošniki rogovače v zelo drobnozrnati do mikrokristalni osnovi, ki vsebuje enklave epidotiziranega in sausuritiziranega rogovačnega diorita. Za raziskavo pod optičnim in elektronskim mikroskopom smo naredili 13 zbruskov, za geokemične raziskave pa je bilo narejenih 11 vzorcev. Mineraloška analiza je pokazala, da v andezitu prevladuje plagioklaz, ki po sestavi ustreza andezinu. Preiskani vzorci vsebujejo v osnovi veliko količino primarnega in sekundarnega kremena ter sekundarnih mineralov (kaolinit, montmorillonit, klorit in vermikulit), ki so posledica hidrotermalne spremembe. Kot vključki v plagioklazih in osnovi so zrnca granatov, ki po sestavi ustrezajo almandinu. Osnova kamnine je drobnozrnata do mikrokristalna z veliko manjšimi zrnci kremena, kar je za značilno za dacite, za andezite pa je taka sestava zelo nenavadna. Plagioklazi so po robovih spremenjeni - karbonatizirani in kaolinitizirani, kar je verjetno prav tako posledica hidrotermalnih sprememb. Geokemične raziskave so pokazale, da se elementna sestava nekoliko razlikuje po profilu dajka. Andezit je po sestavi alkalen, z veliko kalijevega oksida (do 2,34% K2O), in sodi v kalcijevo alkalno serijo. Tovrstni andeziti so glede na literaturo sicer značilni za cone subdukcije, kjer nastajajo orogeni, vendar menimo, da je vzrok za povečano vsebnost kalija njegova asimilacija in s tem kontaminacija magmatske taline z njenim stikom z apnenci. We researched mineralogical, petrographical and geochemical features of Miocene dyke from Podkraj pri Mežici, Slovenia. Several different researching methods were used: optical microscopy, electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), x-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), x-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In hand specimen, the rock is coarse grained andesite porphyry, with up to 2 cm long plagioclase phencrysts, up to 4 mm long biotite grains and up to 6 mm long hornblende phenocrysts in fine grained groundmass. There are also enclaves of hornblende diorite which shows signs of epidotisation and saussuritization. 13 thin sections were made for microscopic research and 11 samples were made for geochemical research. Mineralogical analysis showed that the plagioclase in the rock is andesine. There is a lot of primary and secondary quartz in the groundmass which also contains secondary minerals like kaolinite, montmorillonite, chlorite and vermiculite, because the rock is altered hydrothermally. The carbonation and kaolinitization of plagioclase grains also indicates hydrothermal alteration. Garnets, which belong to almandine group, are found as inclusions in plagioclase grains or independently in the groundmass. The groundmass itself is fine grained with a lot of small grains of quartz, which is typical for dacitic rocks and very unusual for andesitic rocks. Geochemical research showed that the elemental composition slightly differs along the profile of the rock. Andesite is acidic, with a lot of potassium oxide (up to 2,34% K2O) and is a part of calc-alkaline series. Andesites that belong to the high-K calc-alkaline series are usually typical for subduction zones, but we believe that this much potassium is caused by potassium assimilation and melt contamination because of melt – limestone contact.

Uvod: V preiskavah prometnih nesreč ali nasilnih dogodkov so potrebni podatki o psihofizičnem stanju poškodovancev, zato je sodelovanje preiskovalcev in zdravstvenih delavcev pomembno. Namen: V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili področja medpoklicnega sodelovanja medicinskih sester in policistov/kriminalistov. V empiričnem delu smo želeli pridobiti podatke o znanju urgentnih medicinskih sester na področju prepoznavanja in postopanja z materialnimi dokazi ter oceniti trenutno sodelovanje urgentnih enot in policije v primerih, ko se zaradi interesov preiskave pojavi potreba po sodelovanju. Metode dela: Anketne vprašalnike smo posredovali medicinskim sestram v petih bolnišničnih urgentnih enotah in kriminalistom v osmih policijskih upravah. Odgovore sodelujočih poklicnih skupin smo primerjali med seboj. Rezultati: Medicinske sestre in kriminalisti veliko sodelujejo, najpogosteje osebno in preko telefonske linije. Medicinske sestre ocenjujejo sodelovanje s kriminalisti bolj pozitivno kot kriminalisti, ki so v večji meri mnenja, da se pri medsebojnem sodelovanju srečujejo s stereotipnimi predstavami. Glede jasnosti navodil in usmeritev za delo z oblačili, obutvijo poškodovancev in nevarnimi predmeti skupini nimata enakega mnenja, se pa strinjata, da so navodila najbolj jasna za obravnavo žrtev posilstev. Obe skupini vesta, kakšni so pravilni postopki ravnanja z oblačili pacientov, ki so zabodeni ali ustreljeni v predel trupa, prav tako dobro poznata sistem odvzema krvi in urina po odredbi. Pri ravnanju s tujki samo tretjina respondentov ve, kakšen je popolnoma pravilen postopek. Višje kot je znanje posamezne poklicne skupine, višje ocenjuje svoje poznavanje postopkov pri urgentni zdravstveni oskrbi, obe pa dobro ocenjujeta lastno poznavanje postopkov. Kriminalisti v višjem deležu ocenjujejo, da so znanja s področja zbiranja in preučevanja materialnih sledov pomembna. Višje tudi ocenjujejo potrebo po natančnih pisnih navodilih za ravnanje zdravstvenega osebja pri forenzičnih preiskavah, čeprav medicinske sestre v večji meri ocenjujejo, da uničijo forenzične sledove med urgentnimi postopki. V mnenju o možnostih za vzporedno izvajanje postopkov se anketirana profila ne razlikujeta – oba menita, da ti postopki lahko potekajo vzporedno. Medicinske sestre menijo, da bi sodelovanje med profiloma najbolj izboljšala pisna navodila za skupna področja, kriminalisti pa, da bi k izboljšanju najbolj pripomogla neformalna druženja. Razprava in zaključek: Medicinske sestre in kriminalisti pri svojem delu dobro sodelujejo, vendar bi potrebovali skupna navodila in protokole za delo. Introduction: When investigating traffic accidents and violent incidents the authorities need information about the psychophysical condition of the victims, therefore it is important the investigators and healthcare personnel cooperate effectively. Purpose: The theoretical part introduces the area of interprofessional relationships of nurses and the police officers/detectives. For the empirical part we obtained the data on the knowledge among emergency nurses regarding recognising and handling of material evidence, and evaluated the current cooperation of emergency units and the police in the cases where the investigation requires it. Methods of work: The questionnaires were distributed among the nurses in five hospital emergency departments and among detectives in eight police directorates. We compared their replies. Results: Nurses and detectives cooperate on numerous occasions, most often face to face and over the telephone. The nurses evaluated the cooperation more favourably than the detectives, who were to a larger degree of the opinion, that they are facing stereotypes in this kind of environment. The groups differ in the opinion as to the clarity of the instructions and guidelines for the handling of victims' clothes and shoes, and dangerous objects however, they agree that the instructions are the clearest for the victims of rape. Both groups know the correct procedures for handling the clothes of patients, who are stabbed or shot in the torso, they also know the procedures for taking blood and urine samples. In handling foreign objects only a third of respondents knows the only correct procedure. The higher the knowledge of each group of professionals, the higher they evaluate their knowledge of procedures in emergency healthcare. Both groups feel they know the procedures well. There is a higher percentage of detectives who see the knowledge of proper collection and study of material traces as important. They also put much more importance on the need for accurate written instructions for the procedures of the healthcare staff in forensic examination, although more nurses estimated that they destroy forensic evidence during emergency procedures. Regarding the option of simultaneously carrying out the procedures, the groups do not differ – both believe that these procedures can be carried out side by side. Nurses believe that cooperation between the groups could be improved by written instructions for the common areas, while detectives believe that improvement could be best achieved in informal meetings. Discussion and conclusion: Nurses and detectives cooperate well, but would need common instructions and protocols.

Cilj diplomske naloge je bil razvoj grafičnega orodja za vizualizacijo in označevanje posnetkov signalov elektrohisterograma (EHG). Razvito grafično orodje Visual Annotating and Analyzing (VisuAA) vizualizira signale EHG, njihove spektre, spektrograme, Wigner-Ville-jeve spektrograme, skalograme diskretnih valčnih transformacije (DWT) in skalograme zveznih valčnih transformacij (CWT). Spektrograme, Wigner-Ville-jeve spektrograme, skalograme DWT in skalograme CWT je možno vizualizirati kot 2D ali 3D grafe. Orodje mogoča shranjevanje rezultatov vizualizacij, pregledovanje, postavljanje, brisanje in urejanje kliničnih ter uporabniško definiranih oznak, pregledovanje in urejanje informacij posnetka ter zaglavne datoteke posnetkov, zapiskov o posnetku in shranjevanje izbranega dela posnetka. Grafično orodje VisuAA je bilo razvito v integriranem razvojnem okolju NetBeans. Med razvojem grafičnega uporabniškega vmesnika smo sledili Nielsenovim principom načrtovanje grafičnih uporabniških vmesnikov, medtem ko sta bila osnovni meri zmogljivosti učinkovitost in uporabnost razvitega grafičnega orodja. Grafično orodje VisuAA je namenjeno vizualizaciji in označevanju posnetkov podatkovne baze Term-Preterm EHG Database (TPEHGDB), prav tako pa tudi katerikolih drugih posnetkov signalov, ki so zapisani v formatu WFDB. Orodje VisuAA je praktično in koristno orodje za razvoj naprednih algoritmov in postopkov za analizo posnetkov EHG. The goal of the thesis was development of graphical tool for time-frequency visualization and annotating of records of electrohysterogram (EHG) signals. The developed graphical tool Visual Annotating and Analyzing (VisuAA) visualizes EHG signals, their spectra, spectrograms, Wigner-Ville spectrograms, discrete wavelet transform scalograms (DWT), and continuous wavelet transform scalograms (CWT).

The VisuAA tool is practical and useful toll for development of advanced algorithms and procedures to analyze EHG records.

V diplomskem delu preučujemo kazniva dejanja napadov na policiste, ukrepe za zmanjševanje tovrstnih kaznivih dejanj v Sloveniji ter jih primerjamo z ukrepi v ZDA. V teoretičnem delu naredimo pregled dosedanjih proučevanj napadov na policiste doma in v ZDA. V nadaljevanju opišemo usposabljanje policistov v obeh državah. Opredelimo tudi psihosocialno pomoč zaposlenim v policiji. V statističnem delu naloge obdelamo statistična poročila Slovenske policije ter FBI za obdobje med leti 2009 - 2014. Osredotočimo se na statistične podatke o napadih na policiste v povezavi z njihovo delovno dobo. Na podlagi obeh delov se v zadnjem delu naloge opredelimo do ukrepov za zmanjševanje napadov na policiste. Diplomsko delo zaključimo s povzetkom ugotovitev ter z nekaj predlogi za izboljšanje stanja na področju zmanjševanja kaznivih dejanj napadov na policiste. Menimo, da je potrebno konstantno nadgrajevanje usposabljanj. Dobro poznavanje samoobrambe in postopkov policistom omogoča uporabiti znanje v pravem trenutku in brez oklevanja, kar lahko prepreči marsikateri napad. Potrebno bi bilo izboljšati statistične analize napadov na policiste, ter rezultate uporabiti za izboljšanje ukrepov zmanjševanja napadov na policiste. The diploma thesis study criminal attacks on police officers and measures to reduce such crimes in Slovenia and compare them with those in the US. In the theoretical part we review previous studied attacks on police officers in Slovenia and in the US. Next we describe the training of police officers in both countries. We also define psycho-social support for employees in the police. The statistical part of the work processes Slovenian police statistical reports and reports of the FBI, for the period 2009- 2014. We focus on attacks against police officers in correlation with years of service. On the basis of the first two parts, we define measures to reduce attacks on police officers. The thesis concludes with a summary of the findings, and also with a few suggestions for improvement in terms of reducing crime attacks against police officers. We believe that is necessary to constantly upgrade trainings of police officers. Good knowledge of self-defense help police officers to use knowledge at the right time and without hesitation, in order to prevent many attacks. It would be necessary to improve the statistical analysis of attacks on police officers, and use results to improve measures for reducing attacks on police officers.

Raziskava obravnava testiranje sistemov za poslovno obveščanje. Posebnost testiranja sistemov za poslovno obveščanje je, da poleg kakovosti programske opreme obravnava tudi kakovost podatkov. V raziskavi so predstavljene značilnosti standarda ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119, ki opisuje tehnike testiranja, primerne za različne metode razvoja programske opreme. Metoda razvoja programske opreme lahko pomembno vpliva na način in napredek testiranja sistema za poslovno obveščanje. Standard predlaga osnutke testirne dokumentacije, ki jo je možno uporabiti na celotnih projektih ali posameznih aktivnostih v procesu testiranja programske opreme. V raziskavi je razvit model testiranja sistemov za poslovno obveščanje, ki zajema predlog postavitve okolja testiranja in definicijo vlog testerjev v procesu testiranja. Predlagane so testirne procedure z definiranimi merili za posamezno proceduro. Osnutki dokumentov, ki so skladni s standardom ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119, so izdelani okviru te raziskave. Testirne procedure, merila in testirna dokumentacija so integrirani v življenjski cikel razvoja sistema. Predlagani model testiranja skrajša čas odkrivanja in odpravljanja napak v zgodnjih fazah razvoja sistema, kar poveča učinkovitost testiranja. Ocenjujemo, da smo s takim pristopom zmanjšali prenos logičnih napak v nadaljnje faze razvoja sistema za poslovno odločanje. Testerji sistema za poslovno obveščanje morajo imeti tehnične kompetence, dobro morajo poznati procese v poslovnem okolju, vsebino in pomen podatkov. Vključevanje poslovnih uporabnikov v zgodnje fazah testiranja sistema izboljša kakovosti podatkov, hkrati pa uporabniki lažje razumejo delovanje rešitve. Testiranje sistemov za poslovno odločanje, ki aktivno vključuje uporabnike, poveča njihovo zaupanje v delovanje programske opreme in v pravilnost podatkov. The research addresses the testing of business intelligence (BI). The specifics of BI testing are emphasis on both software quality as well as data quality. This research presents the main characteristics of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119, which describes testing techniques suitable for various software development methods. Software development methods can significantly influence the testing mode and testing progress in BI development projects. Standard proposes draft testing documents which can be adapted for the whole project or selected project activities. In this research we developed a model for BI testing, which includes testing environment setup and definition of the roles of the testers in the testing process. Testing procedures with defined measures for each procedure are developed. Draft documents for BI testing are developed to be consistent with ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119. Testing procedures, measures and testing documents are integrated into the development life cycle of the system. The proposed testing model reduce times to detect and correct errors in the early stages of system development, which increases the testing efficiency. We estimate that this approach decrease the propagation of logical errors in next BI development phases. Beside the technical competences, testers must have knowledge in business system's processes as well as knowledge on the content and meaning of the data. Integration of business users in the early stages of testing increases the data quality. The users also easily understands the BI solution. The proposed testing model which include active user's participation increases their confidence in developed software and correctness of the data.

Knjižnično mrežo sestavljajo osrednje območne, osrednje, krajevne in potujoče knjižnice. Potujoča knjižnica izvaja knjižnično dejavnost na območjih z manj kot 1500 prebivalci in oddaljenostjo od knjižnice več kot 4 kilometre. Potujoča knjižnica se lahko izvaja v obliki bibliobusa, ki je vozilo, prilagojeno za izvajanje knjižnične dejavnosti. Bibliobus predstavlja ekonomično in učinkovito rešitev za boljšo pokritost območja s knjižnično dejavnostjo. Cilj raziskave je v občinah Kranj, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Naklo, Preddvor, Šenčur in Jezersko preveriti trenutno pokritost območja s knjižnično dejavnostjo, preveriti smiselnost uvedbe bibliobusa in načrtovati njegova postajališča. Opravili smo analizo trenutnega delovanja potujoče knjižnice s statističnimi podatki iz sistema COBISS in opravili intervju z izvajalci knjižnične dejavnosti v izposojevališčih premične zbirke. Drugi del obsega analizo lokalnega okolja. Rezultat magistrske naloge je načrt mreže bibliobusnih postajališč na območju občin Kranj, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Naklo, Preddvor, Šenčur in Jezersko. Skupno je načrtovanih 52 postajališč. V občini Kranj 21 postajališč, v občini Cerklje na Gorenjskem 11 postajališč, v občini Naklo 4 postajališča, v občini Preddvor 6 postajališč, v občini Šenčur 9 postajališč in v občini Jezersko 1 postajališče. The library network consists of central regional, central, local, and mobile libraries. Mobile library performs its activity in the areas with less than 1500 inhabitants, and with the distance of more than 4 kilometres from a library. The mobile library can be carried out in the form of bibliobus that is a vehicle adapted for performing library activities. Bibliobus represents an economical and effective solution for a better extent of the library activities in the area. The aim of the research is to check the current extent of the library activities, check advisability of the bibliobus introduction, and to plan its stops in the municipalities of Kranj, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Naklo, Preddvor, Šenčur and Jezersko. Based on the data in the COBISS system, we have performed two analyses of the current mobile library operation. Further, we have also performed a interview with the performers of the library activities in the borrowing points of the mobile collection. The second part is comprised of the local environment analysis. The outcome of the master's thesis is a plan of the bibliobus stops network in the area of the municipalities of Kranj, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Naklo, Preddvor, Šenčur, and Jezersko. A total of 52 stops are planed namely 21 stops in the municipality of Kranj, 11 stops in the municipality of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, 4 stops in the municipality of Naklo, 6 stops in the municipality of Preddvor, 9 stops in the municipality of Šenčur, and 1 stop in the municipality of Jezersko.

Fizično nasilje na delovnem mestu medicinske sestre in zdravstvenega tehnika je zelo velika težava, ki se je vpleteni premalo zavedajo. V veliko primerih se kar spregleda in nima prave teže. V diplomskem delu je predstavljeno, kdo so najpogostejši povzročitelji, kakšni so vzroki za nasilje nad medicinskimi sestrami in zdravstvenimi tehniki ter kaj bi se dalo izboljšati, da bi bilo nasilja čim manj. Z anketo je bilo ugotovljeno, da se medicinske sestre in zdravstveni tehniki počutijo varno na delovnem mestu. Velik delež medicinskih sester in zdravstvenih tehnikov je že doživel nasilje na delovnem mestu, ki je lahko fizično, spolno, ekonomsko ali psihično. V porastu je nasilje vodstvenih delavcev nad zaposlenimi, ki je takoj za nasiljem pacientov (60 %) na drugem mestu. Anketiranci so odgovorili, da v 21 % nasilje povzročajo vodstveni delavci. Pri tem gre za razna izsiljevanja in neizplačevanje nadur, delavci ne upajo na bolniški dopust ipd. Najbolj se je treba posvetiti temu, da medicinske sestre in zdravstvene tehnike prepričamo, da spregovorijo o tem ter da ne bodo imeli občutka sramu ali zapostavljenosti. Zavedati se morajo, da imajo nekoga, ki jim lahko pomaga in mu lahko zaupajo svoje težave. Pomembno je, da se čim več pogovarjamo in da veliko pozornosti namenimo izobraževanju. Le tako bomo počasi zmanjševali nasilje nad medicinskimi sestrami in zdravstvenimi tehniki. Physical violence towards female and male nurses in their workplace is a big problem, which is not acknowledged enough among the involved people. In many cases it is simply ignored. The diploma paper shows the most common offenders, the reasons for violence towards female and male nurses and what measurements could be taken to decrease the violence. The survey showed that female and male nurses feel safe at their workplace. However, many of them already experienced violence in their workplace, which can be physical, sexual, economic or psychological. Violence of management towards employees is increasing and occupying the second place after violence caused by patients (60%). According to respondents of the survey, management is causing violence in 21% of the cases. It occurs in form of all kinds of blackmailing and unpaid overtime work, employees are afraid to go on sick leave etc. It is most important to convince female and male nurses to talk about it and to not feel ashamed or disadvantaged. They need to be aware that there are people who can help them and they can trust. It is important to talk as much as possible and to point out the importance of education. Only that way we can slowly decrease violence towards female and male nurses.

V diplomskem delu predstavljamo razvojno okolje in način programiranja platforme Arduino. Predstavili smo delovanje ultrazvočnega senzorja. S pomočjo platforme in ultrazvočnega senzorja HC-SR04 smo sestavili in sprogramirali aplikacijo za krmiljenje, ki omogoča merjenje razdalje do ovir v prostoru. The thesis presents the development environment and the programming method of the Arduino platform. It also deals with the functioning of the ultrasound sensor. Using the platform and ultrasound sensor HC-SR04 we put together and programmed an application for controlling, which enables to measure the distance to barriers in space.

V slovenskem jezikovnem prostoru se je sredi 90. let pojavila težnja po enotnem računalniškem zapisu slovenskega govora. Ta bi standardiziral in poenotil raziskovalno delo na področju govornih in jezikovnih tehnologij, ki se nanaša na fonetične označitve slovenskih govorjenih besedil. Sodelovanje mariborske in ljubljanske skupine raziskovalcev (Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko, Pedagoška fakulteta Fakulteta za elektotehniko, ZRC SAZU, Inštitut za slovenski jezik Frana Ramovša) je rodilo računalniški fonetični zapis simbolov IPA in MRPA. Predvsem slednji so velikega pomena za enostavno in prijazno računalniško podobo. In the Slovene-speaking area in the mid-90's there appeared a trend towards a unfied computer transcription of Slovene speech. This transcription would standardize and unify research in the field of speech and language technologies that touches upon the phonetic symbolization of Slovene spoken texts. The cooperation of the research groups from Maribor and Ljubljana (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty of Education Faculty of Electrical Engineering: The Scientific Research Centre of SASA, Fran Ramovš Institut of the Slovenian language) resulted in the development of computer-based phonetic transcriptions of the symbols in IPA and MRPA. Largely the latter are of great importance for simple and userfriendly computer usage.

V magistrskem delu smo raziskovali skladiščno poslovanje žaganega lesa v Gozdnem gospodarstvu Slovenj Gradec, d.d. Problem, ki smo ga analizirali, je v neučinkovitem skladiščnem poslovanju. Skladiščenje žaganega lesa poteka kaotično, saj se žagan les uskladišči na prazno neoznačeno mesto. Označba na zložaju ne omogoča dovolj dobre sledljivosti, saj ni vidna ob tesnem skladiščenju zložajev. Tako pri odpremi prihaja do nepotrebnih prelaganj in podaljšanja celotne odpreme. Težava je tudi v prezasedenosti skladišča, predvsem z lesom zmanjšane kvalitete. To pomeni, da skladiščni prostor ne opravlja zaščitne funkcije, te zaloge lesa pa negativno vplivajo na preostali zdrav les. Sušilnici sta nepopolno izkoriščeni, njuna dislociranost pa prinaša dodatne stroške. Kot rešitev obstoječega stanja smo predlagali tri rešitve: prestavitev sušilnic, prenovo skladiščnega prostora in investicijo v zlagalno-sortirno linijo. Glede na analizo smo izbrali skupek vseh treh variant. Sušilnice bi bile bolj izkoriščene, več bi bilo kakovostno posušenega lesa. Zlagalno-sortirna linija bi pripomogla h kvalitetnejšemu formiranju zložajev in s tem boljše uskladiščenje. Preoblikovan skladiščni prostor bi zagotavljal dobro sledljivost in ohranjanje kakovosti žaganega lesa. Skupno bi se zmanjšali stroški, učinkovitost in kakovost bi bili višji, celoten proces pa bi bil hitrejši. Master paper concentrates on warehouse operations for sawn timber at Gozdno gospodarstvo Slovenj Gradec, d.d. The problem that we analysed are inefficient warehouse operations. The storage of sawn timber is rather chaotic since sawn timber is stored on an empty unmarked spot. Designation on packages does not allow sufficient traceability as it cannot be seen when packages are stored very close. Additional problem lies also in overfilled warehouse, in particular with low-quality timber. This indicates that warehouse does not perform its protection function and these stocks have a negative impact upon the remaining solid timber. Drying chambers are not completely utilized and their dislocation causes additional cost. We prepared three solutions to solve the existing situation: a transfer of drying chambers, reconstruction of the warehouse area and investment into a new packing&sorting line. We selected a sum of all three versions. Drying chambers would be better utilized, there would be more quality dried timber. The packing&sorting line would contribute to a better formation of packages and to a more efficient storage. A reconstructed warehouse area would ensure good traceability and it would preserve the quality of sawn timber. This would also reduce costs, increase efficiency and quality, and promote the whole process.

Background: The purpose of the study was to determine in which cases operativeand postoperative complications appear in deaf patients with cochlearimplants, the nature of these complications, and which of these complications require reoperations. Study subjects and methods: The study included 196 deaf persons (137 children and 59 adults), who had received cochlear implant for habilitation/ rehabilitation of their hearing ability in the period from March 1996 to the end of 2009 at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery in Ljubljana. The mean postoperative follow-up was 7 years (range 6 months to 13 years). Results: We did not register any serious operative or postoperative complications. In one case, the patient experienced significant intraoperative bleeding from emissary veins of the temporal bone, and in another case, significant leakage of perilymph from the cochlea appeared. In three cases, postoperative paralysis of the facial nerve was observed, which improved in the course of several weeks. Reoperation was required in 23 cases,. The most common reason for reoperation was a malfunction of the device (12 cases). This malfunction was more common in children. In two cases, we had to reoperate because of a misplaced electrode. In all cases we reimplanted the device in the same ear asin the first operation. In two cases, inflammation of the skin above the receiver appeared 6 and 14 months after the surgery. We excised the dead skin and covered the defect with a rotation skin flap. In one of the cases, inflammation of the skin flap reappeared, demanding removal of the device and new device implanted in the other ear. In two cases, purulent mastoiditis developed 8 and 11 months after the operation. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)

Osnovna dejavnost podjetja Plastika Skaza d.o.o. je predelava vseh vrst plastičnih mas. Osrednji problem, ki smo ga v diplomskem delu analizirali, je v neučinkovitem skladiščenju vhodnega materiala. Težave nastajajo že na prostoru za razkladanje, saj je je omejeno le za eno tovorno vozilo. Neuporaba sodobne tehnologije, ki bi prihranila čas prevzemov in zmanjšala človeške napake, tako le podaljšuje čas prevzemov ter zmanjšuje število dnevnih dobav. Dodatne težave prinaša stiska s skladiščnimi prostori tako se zgodi, da vhodni material občasno skladiščijo kar ob lokalni cesti na prostem. Le-ta je podvržen vremenskim vplivom ter namernim poškodbam, to pa prinaša dodatne stroške vnovične nabave, posledično tudi stroške zastoja v proizvodnji ter težave s kupci. V okviru diplomskega dela smo predstavili naslednje rešitve uporabo informacijske tehnologije za izboljšanje osrednjega problema, prenovo proizvodnega skladišča ter nakup bočnega viličarja. Tako bi zadostili problemu razpršenosti skladiščenja vhodnega materiala, kot tudi pomanjkanju paletnih mest. Skupno bi s prenovo zmanjšali celoten čas procesa skladiščenja in posledično povečali učinkovitost skladiščnega poslovanja v izbranem podjetju. The principle activity of the company Plastika Skaza d.o.o. is processing of all sorts of plastics. The central issue analysed in diploma paper is inefficient storage of input materials. The problem arises already at the unloading area where only one truck can be accepted. A lack of modern technology, which would shorten the time of acceptance and reduce human errors, only prolongs acceptance time and reduces the number of daily shipments. The shortage of storage area causes additional problems. Therefore, input material is ocassionaly stored outdoors, right by the local road where it is subjected to different weather conditions and deliberate damage. This is involved with additional cost for repeated shipments and production standstill, and with problems with customers. Diploma paper represents the following solutions: use of information technology to improve the central problem, a reconstruction of the Production Warehouse and the purchase of a side loader forklift. This would resolve the problem of dispersed storage of input material as well as the lack of pallet places. The reconstruction would reduce the overall time of storage process and increase the efficiency of storage performance in the selected company.

Background. The hearing impairment has an impact on the persons capabilities and has an influence on the quality of life. In the early childhood the acoustic information is indispensable for development of speech and language. The cochlear implant is a biomedical device that enables the deaf to hear but it cannot help all the hearing impaired individuals. Patients and methods. In the period from March 1996 to August 2004 there were 110 deaf patients who were operated on for cochlear implantation. We evaluated the ethiologic factors of deafness, the age at onset of deafness and the benefits of cochlearimplant use. Results. Most of the implanted patients were congenitallydeaf (60.91%). The most frequent cause of deafness was hereditary hearing loss (30.00%). The period of deafness was in majority (52.72%) less than five years but a few (10.00%) were deaf for more than 15 years. Reimplantation was necessary in four patients. The application and the benefits vary between the individuals but only two gave up the implant all theremainders use it every day. The communication mode in 88 patients is acoustic-oral while in 22 subjects a total method is used. Conclusions. The outcome of management of deafness by cochlear implants is comparable to other centers. Good results in congenitally deaf children support the need for universal neonatal hearing screening. Izhodišča. Okvara sluha zmanjšuje posameznikove sposobnosti in vpliva na kakovost življenja. V zgodnjem otroštvu je dober sluh nepogrešljiv za razvoj govora in jezika. Polžev vsadek je tehnična naprava, ki omogoča gluhim, da slišijo, ne pomaga pa vsem gluhim. Bolniki in metode. V obdobju od marca 1996 do avgusta 2004 smo na Kliniki za otorinolaringologijo in cervikofacialno kirurgijo v Ljubljani z operativnim posegom vgradili polžev vsadek 110 gluhim osebam. Ovrednotili smo vzroke gluhosti, čas nastanka okvare sluha in koristnost uporable polževega vsadka. Rezultati. Večina z vgrajenim vsadkom jebila gluha od rojstva (60,91%). Najpogostejši vzrok gluhosti je bila podedovana okvara sluha (30,00%). Obdobje gluhosti je bilo pri večini (52,72%)krajše od petih let, a nekaj (10,00%) jih je bilo gluhih več kot 15 let. Ponovno vsaditev so potrebovale štiri osebe. Uporaba in koristnost polževega vsadka se razlikuje med posamezniki, a opustila sta ga le dva, vsi ostali ga redno uporabljajo. Način sporazumevanja po implantaciji je pri 88 poslušno-govorni poti, totalno metodo pa uporablja 22 oseb. Zaključki. Uspešnost usposabljanja s polževim vsadkom pri naših preiskovancih je primerljiva z rezultati drugih svetovnih centrov, posebno razveseljivi rezultati pri od rojstva gluhih otrocih pa podpirajo zahtevo po uvedbi splošnega presejalnega testa na okvaro sluha pri novorojenčkih.

Speech corpora are an essential infrastucture element for speech technologies research in a given language. Speech corpora consist of machine-readable speech recordings. They are futher equipped with additional data, such as speaker and recording session descriptors and different segmentation and annotation elements, e.g. graphemic, phonetic and prosodic transcriptions or descriptors. In the article we describe the process of designing a speech corpus - from text or topic selection, recording, segmentation and labelling procedures. We conclude with an overview of speech corpora for the Slovene language. Govorne zbirke so nepogrešljive pri raziskovalnem delu na področju tehnologij govorjenega jezika. Vsebujejo predvsem računalniško berljive posnetke govora. Posnetkom so vedno priloženi še podatki, ki na različne načine opisujejo posneti govor. Priloženi podatki so opisi govornih dejavnikov, dejavnikov govorcev ter zapisi in označitve posnetega govora. Pogosto govorni zbirki priložimo še navodila za uporabo ter rezultate izbranih analiz govornih posnetkov. Članek opisuje osnovne gradnike govornih zbirk ter postopek zasnove, snemanja, segmentacije, označevanja in analize govornih zbirk. V sklepnem delu se nahaja pregled govornih zbirk za slovenski jezik.

In the Slovene-speaking area in the mid-90's there appeared a trend towards a unfied computer transcription of Slovene speech. This transcription would standardize and unify research in the field of speech and language technologies that touches upon the phonetic symbolization of Slovene spoken texts. The cooperation of the research groups from Maribor and Ljubljana (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; Faculty of Education; Faculty of Electrical Engineering: The Scientific Research Centre of SASA, Fran Ramovš Institut of the Slovenian language) resulted in the development of computer-based phonetic transcriptions of the symbols in IPA and MRPA. Largely the latter are of great importance for simple and userfriendly computer usage. V slovenskem jezikovnem prostoru se je sredi 90. let pojavila težnja po enotnem računalniškem zapisu slovenskega govora. Ta bi standardiziral in poenotil raziskovalno delo na področju govornih in jezikovnih tehnologij, ki se nanaša na fonetične označitve slovenskih govorjenih besedil. Sodelovanje mariborske in ljubljanske skupine raziskovalcev (Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko, Pedagoška fakulteta; Fakulteta za elektotehniko, ZRC SAZU, Inštitut za slovenski jezik Frana Ramovša) je rodilo računalniški fonetični zapis simbolov IPA in MRPA. Predvsem slednji so velikega pomena za enostavno in prijazno računalniško podobo.

Zapis poskuša prikazati obe knjižnici in njuno povezavo v okviru občine Grosuplje ter skupno zasnovane in izpeljane akcije. Prav gotovo je to velik napredek za knjižničarsko stroko in prav povezava dela med šolsko in splošnoizobraževalno knjižnico pripomore k uresničevanju skupnih želja in interesov - kajti brez znanja ni napredka. Sodelovanje obeh knjižnic ustvarja pozitivno podobo naše stroke v občini in odpira pota za nadaljnji razvoj

Avtomatizirani in miniaturizirani pretočni sistemi, med katere spada tudi laboratorij v brizgi, se vedno bolj uveljavljajo v sodobnih kemijskih laboratorijih. Zaradi svojih prednosti, kot so majhna poraba topil, reagentov, vzorcev ter zaradi tesnilnosti brizge, ki snovi ne prepušča, je ta tehnika dobra rešitev v smeri zelene kemije. V nalogi so opisane različne vrste sistemov za različne namene uporabe. Uporabljamo jo skupaj z drugimi kemijskimi tehnikami, ki zahtevajo predpripravo vzorca, ekstrakcijo ali separacijo faz. Zaenkrat se najbolj uporablja pri analizi okoljskih vzorcev, kjer določamo kovine v sledovih, amonijaka, radionukleotidnih elementov. Primerna pa je tudi za določanje estrov v biodizlu. Automated and miniaturized flow systems, including lab-in-syringe are gaining ground in modern chemical laboratories. Due to its advantages, such as low consumption of solvents, reagents, samples due to the tightness of the syringe, which does not leak the substance, this technique is a good solution in the direction of green chemistry. The thesis describes different system settings for different purposes. It is used in conjunction with other chemical techniques that require extraction or separation phase prior to sample preparation. So far, it is mostly used in the analysis of environmental samples, where we determine the content of traces of metals, ammonia, radionuclide elements. It is also suitable for determining the concentration of esters in biodiesel.

Prenizka ali previsoka koncentracija antikoagulanta v epruvetah za vakuumski odvzem krvi lahko povzroči odstopanje rezultata in posledično vodi v napačno interpretacijo krvne slike. Zaradi tega je pomembno, da so koncentracije antikoagulanta v vakuumskih epruvetah znotraj definiranega območja, nečistote, ki vplivajo na delovanje antikoagulanta, pa v čim nižjih koncentracijah. V enem izmed tipov vakuumskih epruvet za odvzem krvi kot antikoagulant nastopa citrat, ki je bodisi zgolj natrijev citrat bodisi kombinacija natrijevega citrata in citronske kisline. Citrat veže kalcij iz krvi in s tem prepreči strjevanje krvi. Epruvete za vakuumski odvzem krvi naj bi vsebovale točno določeno koncentracijo antikoagulanta in točno določen podtlak, ki določa volumen vsesane krvi. V svoji magistrski nalogi sem vrednotil kakovost epruvet za vakuumski odvzem krvi. Z različnimi načini polnjenja epruvet sem želel pridobiti vpogled v točnost in ponovljivost količine antikoagulanta, ki je vnesena v epruveto v času proizvodnje, pridobiti vpogled v padanje vakuuma znotraj epruvet in časovno spreminjanje koncentracije antikoagulanta po dodatku vsesanega volumna krvi oz. vode. Po pričakovanjih je vakuum znotraj epruvete s časom padal, posledično pa je naraščala koncentracija antikoagulanta. Glavni vzrok odstopanja predstavlja netočen vnos količine antikoagulanta v času proizvodnje ter izhlapevanje raztopine iz epruvet. Too low or too high of a concentration of anticoagulant in the vacuum tube can cause a deviation of the result and consequently lead to a false interpretation of the blood test. For this reason, it is important that the concentration of the anticoagulant in the vacuum test tube is within the defined range, and that the impurities that affect the functioning of the anticoagulant are in the lowest possible concentrations. In one of the types of vacuum blood collection tubes, citrate acts as an anticoagulant, which is either just sodium citrate or a combination of sodium citrate and citric acid. Citrate binds calcium from the blood and thus prevents blood clotting. Tubes for vacuum blood collection should contain a specific concentration of anticoagulant and a specific under-pressure that determines the volume of blood drawn. In my master's thesis, I evaluated the quality of vacuum blood collection tubes. With different methods of filling the tubes, I wanted to gain insight into the accuracy and repeatability of the amount of anticoagulant that is introduced into the tube during production, gain insight into the drop in vacuum inside the tubes and changes in the anticoagulant concentration over time after the addition of the aspirated volume of blood or water. As expected, the vacuum inside the tube decreased with time, and as a result, the anticoagulant concentration increased. The main source of bias is the imprecise introduction of the amount of anticoagulant during production and the evaporation of the solution from the tubes.
