Tento článek se zabývá právně-teoretickými přístupy kpéči řádného hospodáře, a to ve vztahu k odpovědnosti za škodu vzniklou porušením péče řádného hospodáře. Článek shrnuje aktuální odbornou diskusi na toto téma a zabývá se třemi hlavními teoretickými proudy definujícími péči řádného hospodáře buďto jako povinnost ze zákona, závazek ze smlouvy, nebo závazek sui generis. Autor předkládá argumenty pro a proti každému z diskutovaných přístupů, kritiku k nim, a přináší vlastní názor autora na problém s tím, že jakýkoli zvolený výklad musí být vnitřně konzistentní jak pro orgány statutární, takpro jiné volené orgány právnické osoby. This article deals with the legal basis of due managerial care, whose nature determines the rules applied in case of a breach of due managerial care concerning damages. The article summarizes recent professional discussions on the topic and deals with three major theoretical approaches defining due managerial care either as an obligation from law, or an obligation from contract, or an obligation sui generis. The article discuses arguments for and against each approach, puts forward the author’s critics regarding the mentioned discourses, and brings the author’s own look at the problem, the key point of which is the necessary consistency of a conclusion not only for a statutory body, but also for other elected bodies of a legal person.

Postopki zasebnega uveljavljanja kršitev konkurenčnega prava predstavljajo komplementarno orodje javnopravnemu pregonu kršitev. Z njimi tožniki (med drugim kupci, dobavitelji ali konkurenti kršiteljev) od kršiteljev zahtevajo bodisi prenehanje škodljivega ravnanja bodisi odškodnino za škodo, ki je nastala kot posledica kršitve konkurenčnopravnih pravil. Predmetno magistrsko diplomsko delo obravnava poseben del odškodninskih tožb na tem področju, pri čemer najprej predstavi osnove zasebnopravnega varstva konkurence in njegov razvoj v Republiki Sloveniji in Evropski uniji. Sledi analiza zakonodajne ureditve aktivne legitimacije in pregled hipotetičnih oškodovancev, ki jim škodo povzročijo posamezna omejevalna ravnanja. Pregled oškodovancev je zaključen z opisom skupin oškodovancev, ki se lahko oblikujejo v primeru kolektivnega spora. Sledi pregled določitve obsega škode, ki nastane z raznovrstnimi kršitvami konkurenčnega prava, s poudarkom na škodi, nastali kot posledica dviga cen, in škodi, ki nastane kot posledica izključitve konkurentov. Pregled škode je zaključen s pregledom škode, ki kot posledica kršitve konkurenčnega prava nastane na trgih nove ekonomije, ki so zaradi svojega delovanja potrebni samostojne obravnave. Magistrsko diplomsko delo nato vsebuje pregled metod in tehnik za določitev višine odškodnine, kot so se razvile v pravni in ekonomski teoriji in praksi, s poudarkom na primerjalnih metodah, metodah finančne analize in metode analize tržne strukture. Magistrsko diplomsko delo se zaključi s pregledom (sicer omejene) sodne prakse slovenskih sodišč v primerih, v katerih so sodišča druge in tretje stopnje odločala tudi o višini odškodnine. Pregled kritično analizira odločitve slovenskih sodišč in izpostavi logične nekonsistentnosti v relevantnih sodbah in sklepih. Private enforcement of competition law is a complementary tool to public enforcement. Through it, claimants (including customers, suppliers, or competitors of the infringers) seek either the cessation of the harmful conduct or compensation from the infringers for damages suffered as a result of the infringement of competition law rules. The present master's thesis deals with a specific part of damages actions in this area, first presenting the basics of private law competition protection and its development in the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union. This is followed by an analysis of the legislative regime for active legitimation and an overview of hypothetical injured parties who are harmed by particular restrictive practices. The overview of injured parties concludes with a description of the groups of victims that may be formed in the event of collective actions. This is followed by an overview of the determination of the extent of the harm caused by the various infringements of competition law, focusing on harm caused by price increases and harm caused by the exclusion of competitors. The damage review concludes with an overview of the damage resulting from competition law infringements in new economy markets, which, by their very nature, require separate treatment. The Master's thesis then provides an overview of the methods and techniques for the determination of damages as developed in legal and economic theory and practice, with an emphasis on comparative methods, financial analysis methods and market structure analysis methods. The Master's thesis concludes with a review of the (admittedly limited) case law of Slovenian courts in cases where the courts of second and third instance have decided on the amount of damages. The review critically analyses the decisions of the Slovenian courts and highlights logical inconsistencies in the relevant judgments and decisions.

Príspevok približuje úpravu náhrady škody na zdraví v súvislosti s poskytovaním zdravotnej starostlivosti v pripravovanom rekodifikovanom Občianskom zákonníku a poukazuje na zmeny v porovnaní so súčasnou právnou úpravou. Osobitne sa venuje aj dlho diskutovanému § 421a Občianskeho zákonníka o absolútnej objektívnej zodpovednosti. URL: https://unibook.upjs.sk/ The paper describes the regulation of compensation for damage to health in connection with the provision of health care in the forthcoming recodified Civil Code and points out the changes in comparison with the current legislation. He also pays special attention to the longdiscussed § 421a of the Civil Code on absolute strict liability.

This article proffers a reflection on some of the most recent feminist legal proposals within the context of anti-discrimination law. The notion of structural discrimination is an appropriate starting point for exploring two relevant aspects of anti-discrimination arguments: the review of comparative type rationale and the weight given to the relevant comparator, and second, the meaning or purpose of the identification of gender stereotypes. As a further step in this field, the article provides an analysis that reinforces the proposal to advance anti-subordination law. Preobrazbe protidiskriminacijskega prava. Napredek v boju proti podrejenosti. Avtorica te razprave ponudi razmislek o nekaterih novejših predlogih feministične teorije v okviru protidiskriminacijskega prava. Izhajajoč iz pojma strukturne diskriminacije razišče dva pomembna vidika protidiskriminacijskih argumentov: najprej preuči utemeljitev tipske primerjave in težo, ki se pripisuje relevantnemu kriteriju primerjave; nato preuči še pomen oz. namen identifikacije spolnih stereotipov. K razvoju protidiskriminacijskega prava končno prispeva z analizo, ki stremi h krepitvi boja proti podrejenosti.

Článek navazuje na text uveřejněný v 3. čísle ročníku 2021 o postupu při odhadování škod způsobených tornádem na nemovitém majetku. Vzhledem k velké různorodosti postižení stavebních objektů byly vady a poškození roztříděny Ústavem soudního inženýrství VUT jako zpracovatelem, do několika skupin. V článku je věnována pozornost první skupině materiálních škod na obecním nemovitém majetku – demolicím. Popsány jsou dva stavy totálně poškozených objektů: zcela zničených tornádem nebo z rozhodnutí statika určených k demolici. Tornádem bylo postiženo pět obcí, ale demolované obecní objekty se nacházely ve třech z nich. Ve všech případech se jednalo o zděné stavby a dřevostavby. Pro ilustraci jsou doloženy fotografie z doby před tornádem a z doby místního šetření. Stručně je uveden postup a metodika při odhadu nákladů. The article follows a text published in the 3rd issue of the class of 2021 on the procedure for estimating tornado damage to property. Due to the great variety of affected building objects, the defects and damages were categorized by the Institute of Forensic Engineering of the VUT as a preparer into several groups. In this article, attention is paid to the first group of material damage to municipal property – demolitions. Two states of totally damaged buildings completely destroyed: by the tornado or destined for demolition by the decision of a structural engineer are described. Five municipalities were affected by the tornado, but the demolished municipal buildings were located in three of them. In all cases, these were brick buildings and wooden structures. Photographs from before the tornado and from the time of the local investigation are provided for illustrative purposes. The cost estimation procedure and methodology are briefly outlined.

V posledních letech se společnost ŠKODA JS a.s. snaží držet aktuálních trendů v průmyslu a začala se tak intenzivně věnovat virtuální realitě, augmentované realitě (VR, AR) a 3D tisku. První snahy o využití těchto technologií začaly již v roce 2012, kdy byl na objednávku proveden první 3D tisk. Mezitím došlo k tak významnému progresu, že nyní ŠKODA JS disponuje tiskárnami na pracovištích v Plzni a na lokalitách JE Temelín, Dukovany a Mochovce a dodává 3D tisky na tyto elektrárny. V oblasti VR a AR je možné ŠKODA JS a.s. považovat za průkopníka. Jako první jsme byli schopni použít VR pro komerční účely v JE v ČR. V současnosti je ve ŠKODA JS a.s. VR a AR používána již jako standardní nástroj. Máme pro VR plně vybavenou místnost, kde mimo jiné provádíme školení. K dispozici jsou nejrůznější zařízení, například tablety a brýle pro VR a AR. In recent years, ŠKODA JS a.s. has been trying to keep up with current industry trends and has started to focus intensively on virtual reality, augmented reality (VR, AR) and 3D printing. The first efforts to use these technologies began already in 2012, when the first 3D printing was made to order. In the meantime, there has been such significant progress that ŠKODA JS now has printers at workplaces in Pilsen and at the Temelín, Dukovany and Mochovce NPP locations and supplies 3D prints to these power plants. ŠKODA JS a.s. can be considered a pioneer in the field of VR and AR. We were the first to be able to use VR for commercial purposes at a NPP in the Czech Republic. VR and AR are already used as a standard tool in ŠKODA JS a.s. We have a fully equipped room for virtual reality, where among other things we conduct trainings. Various devices, such as tablets and HMD for VR and AR, are available.

Posledice, ki jih posameznik lahko utrpi zaradi zapletov, povezanih s postopkom zdravstvene obravnave, v številnih primerih bistveno vplivajo na nadaljnje življenje njega samega in njegovih bližnjih. Zaradi tega pravne ureditve po vsem svetu predvidevajo načine povrnitve škode, ki jo posameznik lahko utrpi zaradi vključenosti v postopke zdravljenja. Večina držav, med njimi tudi Slovenija, na področju zdravstva pozna tako imenovan klasičen sistem odškodninske odgovornosti, katerega bistvena značilnost je, da je treba ugotoviti krivdo tistega, ki je povzročil škodo. Takšni sistemi lahko predstavljajo veliko breme za oškodovanca, čigar položaj se je zaradi nastale škode že tako poslabšal. Na dolgi rok to vodi v številne težave, ki negativno vplivajo tako na položaj pacientov kot na odločitve, ki jih zdravstveni delavci sprejemajo v postopkih zdravljenja. Zato so vse glasnejše pobude po uvedbi drugačnega sistema. Številni vidijo rešitev v nekrivdnih odškodninskih shemah, ki so jih nekatere države že sprejele. Ker pa noben sistem, niti nekrivdne odškodninske sheme, ni brez svojih pomanjkljivosti, se kot ključno postavlja vprašanje, kaj je glede na pravno ureditev posamezne države zanjo najboljša ureditev. V magistrskem delu so predstavljene temeljne značilnosti nekrivdnih odškodninskih shem, vključno s prednostmi in slabostmi, ki jih izpostavljata teorija in praksa, ter pregled posameznih držav, ki sheme že poznajo. V luči pobud po spremembah in pomembnih dognanj pravne prakse je zadnji del naloge posvečen slovenski ureditvi odškodninske odgovornosti v zdravstvu. V zaključku, na podlagi trenutnih predlogov, ugotavljam, ali bi obravnavan institut lahko predstavljal ustrezno rešitev za izboljšanje trenutno precej problematične ureditve odškodninske odgovornosti na področju zdravstva v Sloveniji. The consequences that one suffers from complications, related to medical treatment can, in many cases affect one’s life or the life of those closest to that person. Because of that legal regimes around the world predict ways to compensate for the damage that an individual suffers after being included in medical treatment. Most countries, amongst them Slovenia, are known for so called classical compensations system, essential characteristic of which is to determine the guilt of the one, that caused the damage. That kind of system can present a huge burden for the injured party, whose position is already weakened because of the caused damage. In the long run that leads to many issues, that negatively affect the position of patients, as well as decisions, that health-care workers make in the process of medical treatments. Because of that initiatives for introduction of a different system are getting louder. Many see the solution in the no-fault compensation schemes, that some countries already adopted. But because no system, even no-fault compensation schemes, is without mistakes, the key questions that presents itself is, which regime is the best for an individual country, given its legal regime. Thesis present fundamental characteristics of no-fault compensation schemes, including pros and cons emphasised by theory and case-law, and the review of individual countries, that already know this schemes. In the light of initiatives for change and important case-law progress, the last part of thesis is focused on Slovenian legal regime of liability in health-care. In the final part I try to determine, if the addressed institute can represent a good solution for improving currently quite problematic legal regime of liability in health-care in Slovenia.

Skoraj 70 odstotkov vseh naravnih nesreč po podatkih Svetovne meteorološke organizacije (WMO) povezujemo s podnebjem in vremenom. Zato sem se v magistrskem delu osredotočila na pregled različnih definicij za sušne in poplavne dogodke. V zadnjih desetletjih zaznavamo izrazitejše vremenske pojave za katere sklepamo, da so napoved podnebnih sprememb. Tem spremenjenim okoliščinam morajo biti prilagojeni načrti za ravnanje ob izrednih dogodkih, torej pri oblikovanju državnih načrtov za primer poplave oziroma suše tako v preventivnem smislu, kot tudi pri ukrepanju in blažitvi posledic, ko se naravna nesreča zgodi. Magistrsko delo podaja pregled pogostosti pojava poplav in suš, ki se dogajajo po svetu, v Evropi in v Sloveniji. Podani so temeljni zakoni, pravilniki in direktiva na področju varstva pred naravnimi nesrečami med katere sodita tudi suša in poplava. V delu sem s pomočjo tuje in domače literature pridobila informacije o pojavu suše in poplav tako po svetu, v Evropi kot v Sloveniji. Skozi literaturo sem pregledala vzroke za nastanek suš in poplav, kje se pojava najpogosteje pojavljata in kakšne posledice s svojim delovanjem povzročata. V delu so opisani tudi pretekli hujši sušni in poplavni dogodki v Sloveniji. S pomočjo preteklih trendov pojavljanja in analiz meteoroloških služb lahko lažje predvidevamo nastanek za pojav suš in poplav v prihodnosti. Opisani so tudi učinkoviti aktivni in pasivni ukrepi, ki jih je potrebno izvesti, da bi posledice suš ali poplav kar se da zmanjšali do sprejemljive ravni. Predstavljen je tudi načrt zaščite in reševanja ob naravnih in drugih nesrečah, s katerim se lahko lažje pripravimo na sušne in poplavne dogodke in posledično lažje blažimo posledice, ko se naravna nesreča že dogodi. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) nearly 70 percent of different natural disasters, have been related to the climate and weather. In the presented master's thesis different definitions of drought and flood events were reviewed. In recent decades we have seen more pronounced weather phenomena, which we conclude prediction of climate change. Contingenxy plans must be adapted to these changed circumstances, in the formulation of national plans in the event of a flood or drought, bouth in terms od prevention and in action and mitigation of consequences when natural disaster occurs. The master's thesis provides an overview of the frequency of floods and droughts that occur around the world, in Europe and in Slovenia. Basic laws, regulations and a directive in the field of protection against natural disasters are given, including drought and floods. In this work, with the help of foreign and domestic literature, I obtained information on the phenomenon of drought and floods around the world, in Europe and in Slovenia. Through the literature, I have reviewed the causes of droughts and floods, where the phenomena most often occur and what consequences they cause with their actions. The work also describes past severe drought and flood events in Slovenia. With the help of past trends and analyzes of meteorological services, we can more easily predict the occurrence of droughts and floods in the future. It also describes the effective active and passive measures that need to be taken to minimize the consequences of droughts or floods to an acceptable level. A plan for protection and rescue in the event of natural and other disasters is also presented, which makes it easier to prepare for drought and flood events and, consequently, to alleviate the consequences when a natural disaster has already occurred.

V diplomskem delu obravnavam zgodbo primera partnerskega nasilja po pričanju žrtve, na podlagi katere pretresem različne opredelitve nasilja. Opirajoč se na žrtvino notranje dogajanje sklenem, da je nasilje potrebno obravnavati predvsem kot desubjektivacijo, torej kot določujočo komunikacijo pomena, in ne v prvi vrsti kot utrpljeno fizično škodo. Po obravnavi specifik in paradoksov komunikacije nasilja ter njenih raznoterih obrazov se vprašam po pogojih možnosti subjektove ranljivosti za takšno komunikativno določitev. Teoretično podlago subjektove dovzetnosti za nagovor Drugega najdem v transcendentalni nujnosti intersubjektivnega pripoznanja, vendar nam primer žrtvinega boja za osvoboditev izpod storilčeve določitve pomena kaže tudi na nekakšno hkratnost subjektove avtonomnosti. Kot odgovor na to dvojnost najprej predstavim Honnethov predlog, ki se opira na pojmovanje čustev teorije delovanja. Orišem tudi njegovo družbeno teorijo subjektovega stopnjevitega razvoja glede na intersubjektivno pripoznanje in stopnjevitega razkroja glede na odrekanje pripoznanja. Ker Honnethova družbena teorija pri subjektu ne zajame konstitutivne vloge utelešenosti, čeprav se zdi, da jo predvideva, pri obravnavi izkušnje nasilja na koncu posežem po filozofski fenomenologiji telesnosti, ki med drugim ponudi novo zasnovo subjektove notranje dvojnosti med odvisnostjo in neodvisnostjo od Drugega, predvsem pa z utemeljevanjem subjekta v utelešeni intencionalnosti ujame daljnosežnost obravnavanega nasilnega posega v žrtvino subjektivnost. In my dissertation, I look at a story of a particular case of domestic violence according to the victim's testimony, proceeding from which I discuss various definitions of violence. Based on the victim's internal events, I conclude that violence should be treated primarily as desubjectivation, i.e. as attribution of meaning, and not primarily as suffered physical damage. After discussing the specifics and paradoxes of communication of violence, I examine the conditions of the possibility of the subject's vulnerability for such a communicative determination. I find the theoretical basis of the subject's susceptibility to the way of being addressed by the Other in the transcendental necessity of intersubjective recognition, whereas the example of the victim's struggle for liberation from the perpetrator's attribution of meaning also shows a certain simultaneity of the subject's autonomy. In response to this duality, I first present Honneth’s proposal, which relies on the notion of action theory of emotions. I also outline his social theory of the subject’s gradual development with respect to intersubjective recognition and gradual decay with respect to denial of this recognition. Since Honneth's social theory does not include the constitutive role of subject's corporeality in dealing with the experience of violence, although it seems to presuppose it, I finally resort to the philosophical corporeal phenomenology, which offers a new conception of subject's inner duality between dependence and independence of the Other and, by substantiating the subject in embodied intentionality, captures the far-reaching impact of violent intrusion on victim's subjectivity.

Předkládaný text se zabývá otázkou míry trestní represe. Především je rozebrána problematika určení výše škody a vliv inflace na ni. Pokud je stanovena hranice škody jako znak trestného činu v nominálně v penězích, fakticky díky inflace a nečinnosti zákonodárce se snižuje. The text deals with the scope of criminal repression. In particular, it is the determination of the amount of damage and the impact of inflation. If the limit of damage is set as a sign of a crime in nominal terms in money, in fact due to inflation and inaction of the legislature is reduced.

This thesis deals with the rules of compensation for damage caused by wild animals and beasts and damage caused on wild animals and beasts in the Czech Republic. The main topic of the diploma thesis is the evaluation and analysis of current legislation. The work is divided into thirteen sections, when some of them are further divided into subsections. The main part consists of chapters 8 and 9, which deal with damages wildlife and further chapters 11 and 12, dealing with damages to animals. All chapters are based primarily on Act No. 449/2001 Coll., On hunting, as amended. Attention is mainly focused on the issue of compensation for damage caused by wild animals and beasts. Particularly with regard to the current bark beetle calamity that hit a large part of the territory of the Czech Republic, it appears this issue is highly topical.

The thesis on the topic Engine diagnostics Fabia 1,4 16V, AUA deals with engine control and diagnostics. I described the individual parts of the engine to better understand the whole system and to identify the fault.

V letu 2020 smo preučevali pojavljanje divjadi ter povzročene poškodbe zaradi nje na kmetijskih zemljiščih v Zgornji Savinjski dolini. Na naključnih lokacijah smo vizualno ocenili velikost zemljišča, načine varovanja zemljišč pred divjadjo, obseg poškodb na zemljišču in vrsto divjadi, ki je povzročila poškodbe. Ugotovili smo, da je največ škode povzročil divji prašič (Sus scrofa), in sicer z ritjem po travnikih in pašnikih, na njivah s koruzo in v hmeljiščih. Škoda zaradi jelenjadi (Cervus elaphus) in srnjadi (Capreolus capreolus) je bila v večini primerov zanemarljiva, škode zaradi muflona (Ovis ammon musimon) pa nismo zaznali. Nekateri lastniki zemljišč so zemljišča pred divjadjo zavarovali z elektroograjo, strašili in barvnimi trakovi, vendar ugotavljamo, da je kljub varovanju zemljišč divjad v velikem številu primerov vstopila na zemljišča in povzročila škodo. Ugotavljamo, da je bil obseg škode odvisen predvsem od številčnosti divjadi, količine hrane v gozdu in odmaknjenosti kmetijskega zemljišča od gozda. In 2020 we studied the activity of wild game and the damage they have inflicted on the agricultural land in the Zgornja Savinjska valley. In random places we visually estimated the size of the land, its protection and the different species of wild game the size of the damage on the land and species of wild game which cauesed a damage on the land. We found out that the most damage was done by the wild boar (Sus scrofa) namely by digging through the meadows, pastures and corn and hops fields. The damage done by deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) was in most cases negligible. There was no damage found done by mouflon (Ovis ammon musimon). Some land owners protected their land from wild game with an electric fence, scarecrows and colorful tape but despite the protection the wild game in most cases still got to the fields and done damage. We note that the extent of the damage was dependant on the number of the wild game, the amount of the food in the forests and how close the property was from the forrest.

V prvem delu magistrskega dela sem se osredotočil na zgodovino in organiziranost gasilcev v Sloveniji in Združenih državah Amerike, predstavil sem požarno preventivo in vzroke za požare. V svetu požari postajajo vedno večji problem, saj zaradi klimatskih sprememb, staranja prebivalstva, malomarnosti ljudi, nepazljivosti, novih tehnologij, različnih novih materialov in zmanjševanja vlaganj v požarno varnost lahko povzročijo vse večjo premoženjsko, materialno in človeško škodo. S tem lahko opozorimo na dejstvo, da je gasilstvo zelo pomembna družbena panoga, ki pa je v Sloveniji slabše cenjena kot v Združenih državah Amerike. K znanju in usposobljenosti gasilcev izjemno pripomorejo zgodovina, organiziranost in vlaganje denarja. Seveda ne smemo pozabiti tudi na izboljševanje zakonodaje področja požarne varnosti, ki zajema tako načrtovanje požarne varnosti in tudi samo gašenje požarov. Organiziranost gasilcev v Sloveniji in Združenih državah Amerike je različno, saj se zdi da so ameriški gasilci bolje tehnično in organizacijsko izurjeni. V zgodovini obeh držav se je zgodilo mnogo uničujočih požarov, ki so terjali veliko smrtnih žrtev in premoženja. V drugem delu magistrskega dela sem opravil statistično analizo števila požarov in škode, ki je pri tem nastala v Sloveniji in v Združenih državah Amerike v obdobju od leta 1992 do leta 2018. V Sloveniji se vsako leto zgodi od 4000 do 6000 požarov, v Združenih državah Amerike pa se v zadnjih letih zgodi od 1,3 milijona do 1,6 milijona požarov letno. Najpogostejši požari so požari v objektih, v prometu, v naravi in v komunalnih ali drugih zabojnikih. V Sloveniji se skozi leta število požarov drastično ni spremenilo, vendar pa število ves čas niha. V Združenih državah Amerike se je število požarov iz leta 1992 zmanjšalo za okoli 25 %. Število poškodovanih v požarih se v Sloveniji v zadnjih letih malce zvišuje, število smrtnih žrtev požara pa ostaja dokaj konstantno. V Združenih državah Amerike obe ti številki skozi leta padata. Izjema je le leto 2001, ko se je zgodil napad na World Trade Center. Premoženjska škoda, ki je nastala v požarih, je v Sloveniji v zadnjih letih okoli 7 milijonov evrov, v Združenih državah Amerike pa se ta številka že več kot 15 let vrti okoli 15 milijard dolarjev. Spet pa je izjema leto 2001 zaradi napada v New Yorku, ki je povzročil več kot 30 milijard denarne škode. In the first part of the master's degree thesis, I focused on the history and organization of firefighters in Slovenia and United States of America, I presented fire prevention and the causes of fires. In the world, fires are becoming an increasing problem, as they can cause increasing property, material and human damage due to climate change, population aging, human negligence, carelessness, new technologies, various new materials and reduced investment in fire safety. Therefore, firefighting is a very important social sector, which is less valued in Slovenia than in the United States. History, organization and investment of money contribute enormously to the knowledge and skills of firefighters. Of course, we must not forget to improve the legislation in the field of fire safety, which includes both fire safety planning and firefighting itself. The organization of firefighters in Slovenia and the United States is different, it seems that American firefighters are better technically and organizationally trained. In addition, this profession is also more valued there. There have been many devastating fires in the history of both countries, claiming many lives and property. In the second part of my master's degree thesis, I performed a statistical analysis of the number of fires and damage that occurred in Slovenia and the United States in the period from 1992 to 2018. In Slovenia, between 4,000 and 6,000 fires occur every year. In the United States, however, 1.3 million to 1.6 million fires have occurred in recent years. The most common fires are fires in buildings, in traffic, in nature, and in communal or other containers. In Slovenia, the number of fires has not changed drastically over the years, the number fluctuates all the time. In the United States, however, the number of fires in 1992 fell by about 25 percents. The number of people injured in fires in Slovenia has been rising slightly in recent years, while the number of fatalities in fires has remained fairly constant. In the United States, however, both of these numbers have been falling over the years. The only exception is 2001, when the attack on the World Trade Center took place. The property damage caused by fires in Slovenia in recent years is around 7 million euros, and in the United States this figure has been hovering around 15 billion dollars for more than 15 years. Again, the exception is 2001 due to the attack in New York, which caused more than 30 billion in monetary damage.
