The relationship between work-life balance, job satisfaction, and burnout
Full text linkV magistrski nalogi smo raziskovali povezavo med usklajevanjem poklicnega in zasebnega življenja, zadovoljstvom pri delu in izgorelostjo. Namen naloge je bil ugotoviti, kako so ti trije dejavniki med seboj povezani ter kakšen vpliv imajo na zaposlene in organizacije. Področje raziskave je zelo aktualno, saj so zaposleni vse pogosteje podvrženi pritiskom hitrega tempa dela, kar otežuje doseganje ravnovesja med službenimi in zasebnimi obveznostmi ter povečuje tveganje za izgorelost.
V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili ključne pojme, opredelili zadovoljstvo pri delu in izgorelost ter opisali različne pristope k usklajevanju poklicnega in zasebnega življenja. Poudarili smo tudi posledice, ki jih ima neravnovesje na posameznika in organizacijo, ter predstavili ukrepe, ki jih lahko delodajalci uporabijo za zmanjšanje negativnih učinkov.
V empiričnem delu smo izvedli kvantitativno raziskavo s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Na osnovi pregleda literature smo oblikovali tri hipoteze: da usklajevanje poklicnega in zasebnega življenja pozitivno vpliva na zadovoljstvo pri delu, da boljše usklajevanje zmanjšuje izgorelost in da višje zadovoljstvo pri delu zmanjšuje izgorelost. Rezultati so pokazali, da so vse tri hipoteze potrjene. Najmočnejša povezava se je izkazala med zadovoljstvom pri delu in izgorelostjo, kar potrjuje, da je zadovoljstvo eden ključnih zaščitnih dejavnikov pred negativnimi posledicami dolgotrajnega stresa.
Na podlagi rezultatov lahko zaključimo, da je usklajevanje poklicnega in zasebnega življenja pomemben pogoj za zadovoljstvo zaposlenih in za preprečevanje izgorelosti. Organizacije bi zato morale zaposlenim omogočiti več fleksibilnosti pri opravljanju dela, spodbujati kulturo razumevanja in zagotavljati pogoje, ki krepijo zadovoljstvo pri delu. Takšni ukrepi so pomembni ne le za dobro počutje posameznika, temveč tudi za dolgoročno uspešnost organizacij.
Naloga tako prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju povezanosti obravnavanih dejavnikov in potrjuje, da so ti odnosi močni tudi v slovenskem delovnem okolju. Rezultati nudijo uporabne smernice za prakso in izhodišče za nadaljnje raziskave, ki bi lahko poglobile razumevanje razlik med panogami in poklicnimi skupinami ter prispevale k oblikovanju še bolj učinkovitih ukrepov za zmanjšanje izgorelosti in povečanje zadovoljstva zaposlenih.In this master’s thesis, we examined the relationship between work–life balance, job satisfaction, and burnout. The aim of the study was to determine how these three factors are interconnected and what impact they have on employees and organizations. The topic is highly relevant, as employees are increasingly exposed to the pressures of a fast-paced work environment, which makes it difficult to achieve a balance between professional and personal responsibilities and increases the risk of burnout.
The theoretical part of the thesis presents key concepts, defines job satisfaction and burnout, and describes different approaches to achieving work–life balance. We also emphasized the consequences of imbalance for both individuals and organizations, as well as the measures employers can implement to reduce negative effects.
In the empirical part, we conducted a quantitative study using a survey questionnaire. Based on the literature review, we formulated three hypotheses: that work–life balance positively influences job satisfaction, that better balance reduces burnout, and that higher job satisfaction decreases burnout. The results confirmed all three hypotheses. The strongest relationship was found between job satisfaction and burnout, indicating that satisfaction is a key protective factor against the negative effects of long-term stress.
Based on the findings, we conclude that work–life balance is an important condition for employee satisfaction and for preventing burnout. Organizations should therefore provide employees with greater flexibility in performing their work, foster a culture of understanding, and create conditions that enhance job satisfaction. Such measures are essential not only for the well-being of individuals but also for the long-term success of organizations.
This thesis contributes to a better understanding of the interconnections between the studied factors and confirms that these relationships are strong within the Slovenian work environment as well. The results provide practical guidelines for organizations and offer a basis for further research, which could explore differences between industries and occupational groups and support the development of more effective measures to reduce burnout and increase employee satisfaction

Influence of optimised pollen extract on metabolic activity of WM-266-4 melanoma cells
No full textMelanom je eno izmed najtežje ozdravljivih rakavih obolenj, saj so človeške melanomske celice znane kot ene najbolj agresivnih rakastih celic. Znanstveniki po celem svetu si zato prizadevajo, da bi razvili zdravilo, ki bi lahko ozdravilo to agresivno obliko raka. Dosedanje študije so pokazale, da imajo naravne spojine, med njimi sekundarni metaboliti, najdeni v naravnih materialih oz. proizvodih, tudi v čebeljem cvetnem prahu, citotoksični, antiproliferativni ter kemopreventivni učinek na različne rakave celične linije in so vključene v veliko klinično odobrenih zdravil proti raku.
S pomočjo različnih ekstrakcijskih metod (ultrazvočna ekstrakcija, ekstrakcija po Soxhletu, superkritična ekstrakcija, vroča maceracija in hladna maceracija) smo pridobili ekstrakte cvetnega prahu s 70-odstotnim etanolom kot topilom in jim določili vsebnost totalnih fenolov, proantocianidinov in antioksidantov. Z računalniškim programom Design Expert smo optimirali pogoje ultrazvočne ekstrakcije in raztopine različnih koncentracij teh ekstraktov nanesli na melanomske celice. Rezultati so pokazali, da so vsi ekstrakti vplivali na zaviranje rasti rakavih celic, saj so zaustavili njihovo delitev, vendar opazimo signifikantno zmanjševanje metabolne aktivnosti rakastih celic pri koncentracijah med 0,05 mg/mL in 0,5 mg/mL.Melanoma is one of the hardest types of cancer(s) to treat because melanoma cells are known as some of the most aggressive cancer cells in existence. That is why scientists all over the world are striving to develop a cure for this particularly ugly and aggressive cancer. Studies up to now have shown that natural compounds, which include secondary metabolites found in natural materials/products (even in bee pollen), have cytotoxic, antiproliferative, and chemopreventive effects on various cancer cell lines and are consequently incorporated into many clinically approved oncology (anti-cancer) drugs. With the help of various different extraction methods (ultrasonic extraction, Soxhlet extraction, supercritical extraction and lastly hot and cold maceration) we have been able to acquire, with 70% ethanol serving as a solvent, pollen extractions- and assign to them total phenolic, proanthocyanidin and antioxidant content. With the help of the ‘Design Expert’ computer program we have optimized the conditions of ultrasonic extraction and have applied extraction solutions of different concentrations to melanoma cells. The results show that all extractions had an effect on the growth of cancer cellsthey stopped their division, however we can observe a significant reducement in cancer metabolism, when we approach concentrations between 0,05 and 0,5 mg/mL

No full textV tem delu smo določili vrednosti materialnih parametrov lotnih spojev toplotnega izmenjevalca, ki so namenjeni definiranju materialnih lastnosti pri numeričnih simulacijah z metodo končnih elementov. Na podlagi rezultatov statičnih nateznih testov smo določili vrednost modula elastičnosti, meje tečenja in natezne trdnosti preizkušancev lotnih spojev, prav tako pa smo podali tudi nekaj parametrov, ki opišejo plastični del krivulje σ – ε. Poleg statičnih smo izvajali tudi dinamične teste pri vedno enakem obremenitvenem razmerju in s pomočjo le – teh določili vrednosti koeficienta in eksponenta trdnosti pri utrujanju, ki sta veljavna v območju, ko delovne napetosti ne presegajo vrednosti meje tečenja. Vse pridobljene rezultate smo naknadno tudi potrdili z uporabo numeričnih analiz po metodi končnih elementov v programu Ansys, kjer smo pokazali, da se rezultati ujemajo.In this work we defined static and fatigue material parametres of a brazed joint of a heat exchanger for purposes of FEA simulations. Based on experimental results of static tesnile testing we determinated values of Young modulus, yield strength, ultimate tesnile strength and values for evaluating plasticity. In case of fatigue, the dynamic tests with the equal loading ratio were performed on brazed joint speciments. Based on results of dynamic testing we determinated fatigue coefficient and exponent for loading cases where values of an applying stress do not exceed yield strength. All the reuslts were validated with numerical FEA simulations performed in Ansys software
