Zdrava in uravnotežena prehrana odlocilno vplivata na zdravstveno stanje. V magistrskem delu smo obravnavali zdravo prehrano oseb z motnjami v dusevnem razvoju v socialno varstvenem zavodu dr. Marijana Borstnarja (ZUDV). Omejili smo se na mleko in mlecne izdelke. Raziskava je potekala v treh delih. Prvi del raziskave je vseboval kvantitativno analizo podatkov, pridobljenih s pomocjo anonimnih anketnih vprasanj, ki so jih podali zaposleni. Primerjali smo odgovore zaposlenih, ki delajo na oddelku, kjer bivajo osebe mlajse od 25 let z odgovori zaposlenih, ki delajo na oddelku, kjer bivajo osebe starejse od 25 let. Vrednost p < 0,05 je dolocala statisticno pomembnost. Med oddelkoma razlicnih starostnih obdobij ni statisticno pomembnih razlik. Drugi del raziskave je bila kvalitativna analiza, ki je potekala s pomocjo polstrukturiranega intervjuja z osebami, ki sestavljajo jedilnike. V tretjem delu raziskave smo želeli ugotoviti trenutno stanje vnosa hranil, zaužitih z mlecnimi izdelki. Vnos mlecnih izdelkov smo izracunali na podlagi analize celodnevnih obrokov pet dni zapored. Celodnevni energijski vnos mlecnih izdelkov je bil tri dni v casu nasih merjenj nad 400 kcal, kar je glede na priporocila o vnosu mleka previsoko. Vnos beljakovin z mlecnimi izdelki je tretji in cetrti dan merjenj presegal priporoceno vrednost 95,42 g. Vsebnosti ogljikovih hidratov so bile vse dni nad 28,95 g, kar ni skladno s priporocili. Previsoke vrednosti vnosa hranil so se kazale predvsem ob neupostevanju normativov porcioniranja hrane ter v dnevih, ko so bili mlecni izdelki vkljuceni v tri obroke dnevno.

In the master's thesis, we researched the principles of Web3 solution development. We studied the blockchain and blockchain-related technology, development of the Web including all versions of the Web and the differences between them. We presented the popular technologies for Web3 development and the most common Web3 solutions with examples. With help of systematic literature review we explored the state-of-art technologies for Web3 solution development and proposed a full-stack for Web3. In the final part we implemented a proof-of-concept Ethereum decentralized application and compared it with equivalent concept of Web2 application. We proposed future work of researching other popular blockchain protocols like Solana or Polygon.

The thesis presents the importance of ergonomics in industry. Enhanced productivity, higher-quality output, lower injury and absence rates, increased job satisfaction, and optimization of places are all strongly correlated with better ergonomics. Ergonomics is often overlooked in favour of other requirements, such as engineering, economics, or place availability. However, the benefits of investing in ergonomics for the business have been thoroughly proved over time, though. Moreover, regulations require a minimum of ergonomic quality in all workplaces. Therefore, the ergonomics should be included in the design phase of any workplace to be considered throughout the process and save redesign costs. On the other hand, it is advisable to analyse the current workplaces to make sure that productions are efficient, and they are compliant as well. The thesis will develop this case. A practical application of the ergonomics improvement in a workstation of a production line is carried out to meet the ergonomic requirements. The current ergonomics are evaluated from a recreation of the workstation in the laboratory. The worker's movement data is collected through a sensor suit of Xsens in a pilot test, and a software simulation is used to recreate the operator in his working environment and analyse his ergonomics. Finally, solutions are proposed to adapt the spaces with minimum investment

In this work, a design improvement of the dosing device of the packaging line in the facilities of a multinational pharmaceutical company is carried out. Firstly, an introduction is given in which the objectives of the project are set out and a realistic scope and limitations are established. It then goes on to explain in detail the problems to be solved. Next, the relevance of packaging in the pharmaceutical sector is explained, and a description of the facilities and the specific packaging machine is given. In addition, a study is made of similar problems in the pharmaceutical sector, through the study of various articles and publications. Once all this is known and presented, reverse engineering is carried out to design the existing feeding device using SolidWorks. This was done by means of measurements taken by hand on the component. Then, several alternatives are proposed to solve the problem, and they are compared to end up obtaining the one that is defined as optimal to improve the component. Finally, also using SolidWorks, an improved design of the feeding device is made. Finally, an analysis of the proposed solution is carried out and a comparative analysis is made with the existing solution to evaluate the final proposal

Artificial intelligence is a wide concept and it’s being used in more and more machine applications, teaching them to perform tasks which would require human intelligence. The implemented algorithm requires samples of ''experience'' from which it can learn and predict the outcome; from there it mainly feeds itself. AI is basically divided into two subsets; deep learning and machine learning. They are mostly distinguished with the way the data is presented to the network. To summarize this project; First the data was monitored on an electromechanical system, monitored data from vibrations was saved and brought in Matlab program, there the data was transformed for future use with autoencoders, which learned the conditions, after training we have to try different parameters for getting the closest reconstruction possible. In the project we applied several techniques like using a multilayered auto-encoder and then finding the best hyper parameters for best results (they were measured by plotting signals and mean square error).

The objective of all the TRISAT project is that the spacecraft will remain operational for a minimum of two years in a day-night sun synchronous orbit with an altitude of 600 km. The objective of this master thesis is to make a thermal study of the TRISAT satellite. The study is focused in the batteries, the most sensitive part of the satellite to the temperature, trying to find the best solution to make them remain operational during the satellite life, maintaining a good performance. The first part is to find information of the batteries to know the range at which they can work. This research shows us that the batteries can work correctly without losing performance between 0-50ºC. In the second part the different energies that influence the satellite are calculated to finish calculating the temperature of the satellite in different moments of the orbit. Afterwards the zone of the satellite where the batteries are located is studied to know the amount of heat needed to maintain the batteries in acceptable temperatures. In this part it is calculated that adding an insulator between the batteries and the support is useful but also a heater is needed. With all this information a solution for the heating of the batteries is defined. Outgoing

The objective of this final thesis project was to study and test a 3,3V LiFePo4 battery in outer space conditions to be able to determine its working range, its limitations and its problems. To do so a measuring set-up to read and estimate the capacity of a battery was built and programmed. Then the LiFePo4 battery was tested at different temperatures between -20°C and 40°C in a vacuum chamber at a pressure under 100 microbars. The results showed that the battery can still operate properly at temperatures as low as -20°C. However a reduction of the capacity at low temperatures was observed: The battery's capacity at -20°C was 62% lower than the one at 20°C. The battery fully recovered its capacity after returning back to the nominal working range (20°C), and its performance barely changed thorough the whole range of temperatures studied. Outgoing

The main topic addressed in this paper is trace-optimization of polynomials in noncommuting (nc) variables: given an nc polynomial f, what is the smallest trace $${f(\underline {A})}$$ can attain for a tuple of matrices $${\underline {A}}$$ ? A relaxation using semidefinite programming (SDP) based on sums of hermitian squares and commutators is proposed. While this relaxation is not always exact, it gives effectively computable bounds on the optima. To test for exactness, the solution of the dual SDP is investigated. If it satisfies a certain condition called flatness, then the relaxation is exact. In this case it is shown how to extract global trace-optimizers with a procedure based on two ingredients. The first is the solution to the truncated tracial moment problem, and the other crucial component is the numerical implementation of the Artin-Wedderburn theorem for matrix *-algebras due to Murota, Kanno, Kojima, Kojima, and Maehara. Trace-optimization of nc polynomials is a nontrivial extension of polynomial optimization in commuting variables on one side and eigenvalue optimization of nc polynomials on the other side—two topics with many applications, the most prominent being to linear systems engineering and quantum physics. The optimization problems discussed here facilitate new possibilities for applications, e.g. in operator algebras and statistical physics.

Il lavoro presenta uno studio di una possibile soluzione per il valorizzazione energetica dei rifiuti volte al riutilizzo dei residui del trattamento di compostaggio di un impianto di compostaggio. Per la fattibilità dell’iniziativa, i residui derivanti dal trattamento dei rifiuti solidi urbani devono essere integrati da biomassa di origine forestale. Lo studio effettuato presenta la fattibilità tecnica, in ordine alla verifica della conformità dell’energia recuperata, dalle diverse soluzioni con gli esistenti standard, e la fattibilità economica delle soluzioni tecniche praticabili.

Il lavoro presenta lo studio di fattibilità tecnica di impianto di teleriscaldamento per una Comunità Montana usando biomassa forestale. Sono presentati i risultati del dimensionamento del sistema di generazione del calore e del sistema di vettoriamento e distribuzione. La procedura utilizzata può essere estesa presso altre realtà territoriali con caratteristiche simili.

In un precedente lavoro [120], è stata presentata la fattibilità tecnica di un impianto di teleriscaldamento per una Comunità Montana usando biomassa forestale. In questo lavoro sono proposte la fattibilità economica e l’impatto ambientale per lo stesso impianto. Successivamente è stato sviluppato lo studio di impatto ambientale tenendo conto dei quadri riferimento di programmatico, progettuale e ambientale. In particolare, è stato analizzato qualificato e quantificato l’inquinamento prodotto dall’impianto comparandolo con quello prodotto dagli impianti termici civili che sono attualmente in esercizio nell’area considerata.

Il lavoro riporta l’analisi del processo di produzione di un moderno pastifico a cui è stata fatta seguire una distribuzione dei flussi di energia impiegata nel processo di essiccazione, la quale è l’operazione che richiede la maggiore intensità energetica. E’ stata fatta un’analisi dei costi energetici che punta alla loro riduzione attraverso l’ottimizzazione dei contratti di fornitura elettrica, del metano e dell’acqua. Successivamente, viene presentata la valutazione tecnico-economica su due strategie di recupero energetico. La prima è il recupero del calore totale dell’aria espulsa dall’essiccatore per il preriscaldo dell’aria immessa; la seconda prevede il preriscaldamento dell’acqua necessaria per impastare la farina di grano attraverso il calore recuperato dal raffreddamento degli estrusori.

Projecte realitzat mitjançant programa de mobilitat. UNIVERSITY OF MARIBOR This project aims to prove that is possible to develop Business Intelligence applications by using Google Apps. Instead of parameterize some existing tool, we want to demonstrate that we can build a solution for a concrete corporation according to its needs. For this, we have separated the work in two parts. The first one is based on a studio about which Google code tools and libraries can be useful for this purpose. All the alternatives have been classified, analyzed and exemplified. Also, for concluding the studio, we have explained how we should assemble them in order to obtain a BI system. As a second part, we have implemented an example tool following the steps described on the previous studio, and have also proposed some possible improvements to apply to the original solution. After that work we have demonstrate that we can develop totally functional BI tools using Google Apps. Moreover, these ones will be characterized by its sturdiness, fastness, security and change adaptability. All of that allows us to say that Google Apps is an excellent platform for innovate and develop BI solutions for companies totally adapted to their needs, reducing costs, and giving a new perspective over themselves.

Nowadays society is every time more concerned about the environment. This has a clear impact in the industry, now that the consumers require sustainable products and eco-friendly. The use of biopolymers is one of the most promising strategies toward an optimized use of traditional packaging materials (e.g., oil-based plastics) without impairing the goal of extending shelf life. Among other food packaging materials, pullulan is attracting much attention due to its unique features. This thesis aims to prove if pullulan, which is a polysaccharide polymer, eco-friendly, applied as coatings on polyethylene films, improves the functional properties of interest for the food packaging industry and in which concentration gives the highest performance. In this document, you will find the different processes and analysis used to arrive at the conclusion that there is still a path to go through until use pullulan as active packaging, so it is needed to find a pullulan based formula that stabilizes it avoiding the fragility of this coating. These conclusions are based on the results of several analysesexperiments as FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), goniometry, Oxygen barrier test, antimicrobial etc. Outgoing
