No full textBIM-based framework for estimating service life duration of wood construction elements under environmental exposure
No full textAs the construction industry adopts more data-driven and sustainable practices, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly used for energy analysis, lifecycle management, and maintenance planning. However, its integration with service life performance analysis especially for wood, a material susceptible to environmental degradation remains limited. This study presents a BIM-based framework that incorporates wood-specific parameters such as environmental exposure, material properties, and design detailing to estimate the service life of wood construction elements. The framework is structured using ISO 15,686–4 principles and implemented through custom Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) property sets. A Revit plugin developed in C# integrates the model into the BIM environment. A case study of a wooden playhouse is used as a proof-of-concept to demonstrates the framework’s ability to evaluate the impact of design, material, and environmental factors on service life. The results confirm that the framework supports service life prediction and enhances decision-making for wood-based construction. Twenty-one-month observations align with predicted results. However, long-term (2–9 year) predictions remain unvalidated, requiring extended monitoring. By integration of the service life prediction for fungal decay into BIM it offers a practical and scalable tool to support service life–informed design and planning for wood structures
The Role of Music in Primary Paediatric Care
No full textGlasba igra v življenju ljudi pomembno vlogo že od pradavnine. Njeni pozitivni učinki na celostni razvoj otrok in njihovo dobro počutje v stresnih okoliščinah so dobro dokumentirani. V okviru raziskave smo preučevali, kako slovenski pediatri na primarni ravni dojemajo vlogo glasbe v ambulantnem okolju. Uporabljena je bila triangulacija raziskovalnih pristopov, pri čemer je bila osrednja metoda kvalitativna analiza, dopolnjena s kvantitativnimi podatki. Podatki so bili zbrani z anketnim vprašalnikom, ki je vseboval tako zaprta kot odprta vprašanja. Vzorec je zajemal 102 pediatra iz vseh slovenskih statističnih regij. Kvantitativni del je omogočil analizo pogostosti odgovorov, medtem ko je kvalitativna vsebinska analiza z odprtim kodiranjem razkrila globlja stališča in mnenja anketirancev. Ugotovitve kažejo, da večina pediatrov glasbo dojema kot sredstvo, s katerim lahko spodbudimo otrokovo sodelovanje v pediatrični obravnavi, saj zmanjša nemir v stresnih situacijah in podpira različna razvojna področja. Najpogosteje se kot učinkovita izkazuje umirjena glasba. Čeprav jo pediatri uporabljajo večinoma intuitivno, rezultati nakazujejo potencial za njeno sistematično vključevanje v ambulantno pediatrično prakso. Poleg vpliva na otroke se kažejo tudi pozitivni učinki na starše, zdravstveno osebje in splošno delovno vzdušje v ambulanti.Music has played an important role in human life since ancient times. Its positive effects on the holistic development of children and their well-being in stressful situations are well documented. This study investigated how Slovenian paediatricians at the primary care level perceive the role of music in outpatient settings. A triangulation of research approaches was used, with qualitative analysis as the central method, complemented by quantitative data. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing both closed and open-ended questions. The sample consisted of 102 paediatricians from all statistical regions of Slovenia. The quantitative part enabled a frequency analysis of the answers, while the qualitative content analysis revealed deeper attitudes and opinions of the respondents through open coding. The findings show that most paediatricians perceive music to encourage children’s cooperation during paediatric examinations, as it helps reduce restlessness in stressful situations and supports various areas of development. Calming music is most often found to be effective. Although paediatricians mostly use it intuitively, the results suggest potential for the systematic integration of music into outpatient paediatric practice. In addition to its effects on children, positive impacts were also observed on parents, healthcare staff, and the overall working atmosphere in the clinic
