Raising awareness of men about infertility
No full textUvod: V sodobni družbi se moška neplodnost zaradi svoje naraščajoče pojavnosti vse pogosteje kaže kot pomemben javnozdravstveni problem, ki pa je še vedno močno zaznamovan s prisotno stigmo in stereotipi. Njeno prepoznavanje in obvladovanje sta ključna za izboljšanje reproduktivnih izidov in zmanjševanja tveganja za neplodnost. Zato je pomembno doseganje večje ozaveščenosti moških o plodnosti in vključenost zdravstvenega osebja z namenom izboljšanja znanja in doseganja plodnosti moških. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je s pregledom literature oceniti obstoječe znanje in ozaveščenost moških o neplodnosti ter ugotoviti različne možnosti za izboljšanje ozaveščenosti z uporabo obstoječih pristopov in s strani medicinskih sester. Metode dela: Za izdelavo diplomskega dela smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela, s pregledom znanstvene in strokovne literature, pridobljene preko podatkovnih baz digitalne knjižnice Univerze v Ljubljani (DiKul), PubMed/Medline in CINAHL Ultimate. V analizo smo vključili 16 znanstvenih člankov s prosto dostopnim besedilom, objavljenih med letoma 2015 in 2025, v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku. Rezultati: Članke smo razdelili na tri tematska raziskovalna področja: stopnja splošne ozaveščenosti moških o neplodnosti, obstoječi pristopi za ozaveščanje ter načini za dvig ozaveščenosti moških s strani medicinskih sester. Moški so v povprečju bili slabše ozaveščeni kot ženske o pomenu plodnosti in so imeli nezadostno teoretično znanje. Za dvig reproduktivne pismenosti obstajajo različni pristopi informiranja, ki predstavljajo potencial za povečanje ozaveščenosti, saj je bil ob njihovi uporabi opazen napredek v znanju. Medicinske sestre imajo pomembno vlogo pri sodelovanju z neplodnimi pari, saj predstavljajo zanesljiv in zaupanja vreden vir informacij. Hkrati podpirajo preventivne dejavnosti, se vključujejo v izobraževalne programe ter tako na različne načine nudijo na dokazih temelječo zdravstveno oskrbo. Razprava in zaključek: Zdravstvena nega predstavlja pomemben del multidisciplinarnega pristopa pri obravnavi neplodnega para z vključitvijo medicinskih sester v celoten proces. Nezadostna obravnava področja moške neplodnosti prispeva k pomanjkljivi ozaveščenosti moških, napačnim prepričanjem in podcenjevanju pomena pravočasne obravnave. Potrebno je spremeniti odnos moških do lastne plodnosti, jih spodbuditi k odgovornosti za prevzemanje skrbi za lastno zdravje in nadgradnjo njihovega znanja. Za zgodnje oblikovanje znanja sta pomembna osebno svetovanje medicinskih sester ter sistematično vključevanje vsebin o moškem reproduktivnem zdravju in plodnosti v učne načrte, kar prispeva k večji ozaveščenosti prihodnjih generacij o pomenu moške plodnosti.Introduction: In modern society, male infertility, due to its rising incidence, is increasingly recognised as an important public health issue, still strongly affected by existing stigma and stereotypes. Its recognition and management are essential for improving reproductive outcomes and reducing the risk of infertility. Therefore, it is important to increase men\u27s awareness of fertility and to involve healthcare personnel to improve knowledge and support male fertility. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to assess men\u27s existing knowledge and awareness of infertility through a literature review and to identify various options for improving awareness using current approaches and the role of nurses. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to assess the existing knowledge and awareness of men about infertility through a literature review and to identify various options for improving awareness using existing approaches and by nurses. Methods: For the preparation of the thesis, we used a descriptive method of work, reviewing scientific and professional literature obtained through the databases of the Digital Library of the University of Ljubljana (DiKul), PubMed/Medline and CINAHL Ultimate. The analysis included 16 scientific articles with freely accessible text, published between 2015 and 2025, in Slovenian and English. Results: We divided the articles into three thematic research areas: the level of general awareness of men about infertility, existing approaches to awareness-raising, and ways to raise awareness of men by nurses. Men were on average less aware than women about the importance of fertility and had insufficient theoretical knowledge. There are various information approaches to raising reproductive literacy that represent the potential for increasing awareness, as their use has been associated with noticeable progress in knowledge. Nurses play an important role in working with infertile couples, as they represent a reliable and trustworthy source of information. At the same time, they support preventive activities, participate in educational programs, and thus provide evidence-based healthcare in various ways. Discussion and conclusion: Nursing represents an important part of a multidisciplinary approach to treating infertile couples, with nurses being included in the entire process. Insufficient treatment of the area of male infertility contributes to a lack of awareness among men, misconceptions, and underestimation of the importance of timely treatment. It is necessary to change the attitude of men towards their own fertility, to encourage them to take responsibility for taking care of their own health and to upgrade their knowledge. Personal counselling by nurses and the systematic inclusion of content on male reproductive health and fertility in curricula are important for early knowledge formation, which contributes to a greater awareness of future generations about the importance of male fertility

Pregled tiskanega gradiva frančiškanske knjižnice v Novem mestu v 19. stoletju
No full textPrispevek želi predstaviti bogato zbirko predvsem tiskanega gradiva frančiškanskega samostana v Novem mestu in se omejiti na 19. stoletje, ko je bil samostan s frančiškanskimi brati najbolj vpet v šolstvo in kulturo širšega okoliša. Novo mesto brez svoje "frančiškanske" gimnazije nikoli ne bi bilo to, kar je (bilo). Predstavlja fond učbenikov, knjig, revij, ki kažejo tudi na odnos do slovenske besede. Ustavi se ob nekaterih predgovorih in spremnih besedah, ki poudarjajo pomen slovenske besede in izobraževanja.The paper investigates a rich collection of what are mostly printed materials of the Franciscan Monastery in Novo mesto. The research is limited to the 19th century texts, when the Franciscan monastery played an important role in education and culture in the region, and their fund of materials (textbooks, books, magazines) offers us a special insight into the Slovene language. Another interesting field of research was the prefaces and forewords through which the authors reiterated the importance of the Slovene language and education
Effects of industry-inspired storage conditions on the contents of hydrophilic extractives and polyphenols in Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) bark
No full textSilver fir bark (Abies alba Mill.) is an underutilized renewable resource containing valuable extractives and polyphenols of industrial importance. This study compared the influence of two storage methods on the extraction of total hydrophilic extractives content (TEC) and total polyphenols content (TPC) from silver fir bark samples. Bark samples were collected from two storage types: bark left on stem sections and stored under cover (B-D), and mechanically removed industrial bark stored outdoors (B-IS), over a 12-month period with monthly sampling and extraction, followed by measurements of TEC and TPC using gravimetric and spectrophotometric methods. B-D samples showed no statistically significant decrease in TEC or TPC during one year of storage, while B-IS samples exhibited substantial losses, with TEC decreasing by more than half (50.82%) and TPC by 65.68%, most rapidly within the first 3 months when precipitation-driven leaching and degradation processes were obviously most pronounced. These results demonstrate that bark removed before storage is much more susceptible to degradation and leaching of the hydrophilic extractives than bark retained on logs, confirming that mechanical disintegration and exposure to weathering accelerate the loss of valuable extractives and polyphenols. A strong TEC–TPC correlation (r = 0.67–0.81, p < 0.0001) provides a practical methodological approach for rapid biomass quality screening. Overall, the findings offer quantitative guidance for optimizing debarking timing and storage practices to preserve extractive yield and enhance the efficiency of bark-based biorefinery processes

No full textPlastics in agriculture
No full textPlastika je zaradi nizkih stroškov, vsestranske uporabnosti in obstojnosti postala nepogrešljiv material sodobnega kmetijstva, pri čemer ima njena uporaba kljub razmeroma majhnemu deležu v svetovni proizvodnji pomemben vpliv na delovanje agroekosistemov. V kmetijski praksi prispeva k večji produktivnosti in učinkovitejši rabi naravnih virov, hkrati pa predstavlja vir onesnaževanja tal, saj se s staranjem in razgradnjo kopiči v tleh v obliki manjših plastičnih delcev, ki lahko prehajajo v vodne in prehranske verige. Namen članka je ovrednotiti znanje o virih, poteh vnosa in okoljskih učinkih mikroplastike (MP) v kmetijskih tleh. Glavni viri vnosa plastičnih delcev v kmetijska tla vključujejo uporabo kompostiranih in fermentiranih organskih ostankov, komunalnega blata, namakanje z odpadno vodo ter razgradnjo in zaoravanje plastičnih zastirnih folij, dodatno pa tudi izluževanje iz neustrezno upravljanih odlagališč odpadkov. Po vnosu v tla se plastični delci vežejo na mineralne in organske komponente ter postanejo del talnega sistema, kar lahko povzroči spremembe gostote tal, stabilnosti agregatov, sposobnosti zadrževanja vode in vodoodbojnosti. Posebna pozornost je v članku namenjena uporabi plastičnih materialov v zelenjadarski pridelavi, kjer kritine rastlinjakov in tunelov, zastirne folije ter namakalni sistemi pomembno prispevajo k uravnavanju mikroklimatskih razmer in stabilnosti pridelave. Na podlagi pregleda literature ugotavljamo, da tudi biorazgradljivi materiali v realnih talnih razmerah pogosto ne dosegajo pričakovane stopnje razgradnje, kar poudarja potrebo po celostni oceni materialov ter razvoju trajnostnih in odgovornih kmetijskih praks za zmanjšanje onesnaženosti tal s plastiko.Plastic has become an indispensable material in modern agriculture due to its low cost, versatility, and durability, and its use, despite representing a relatively small share of global production, significantly impacts agroecosystem functioning. In agricultural practice, plastics contribute to higher productivity and more efficient natural resource use, while also acting as a source of soil contamination, as they accumulate during aging and degradation in the form of smaller particles that can enter aquatic and food chains. This article aims to evaluate current knowledge on the sources, pathways, and environmental impacts of microplastics (MP) in agricultural soils. Major sources of plastic particle input into soils include the application of composted and fermented organic residues, sewage sludge, irrigation with treated wastewater, and the degradation and incorporation of plastic mulches, as well as leaching from improperly managed waste disposal sites. Once incorporated into soils, plastic particles interact with mineral and organic components, becoming part of the soil matrix and potentially altering soil bulk density, aggregate stability, water retention capacity, and hydrophobicity. Special attention is given to the use of plastics in vegetable production, where greenhouse and tunnel coverings, mulching films, and irrigation systems play a key role in regulating microclimatic conditions and stabilizing yields. A review of the literature indicates that even biodegradable materials frequently fail to achieve their expected degradation rates under field conditions, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluation of materials and the development of sustainable and responsible agricultural practices to mitigate soil plastic contamination
Med birokracijo in skupnostjo
No full textThis article explores how collaboration operates as both a concept and a practice in the post-socialist public health systems of Serbia and Croatia. Drawing on ethnographic research and expert interviews, it identifies diverse, often conflicting forms of collaboration. By tracing continuities and ruptures with Yugoslav social medicine, the article argues for reflexive, power-aware forms of partnership in contemporary health governance.Prispevek proučuje, kako sodelovanje hkrati deluje kot koncept in kot praksa v postsociali-stičnih sistemih javnega zdravstva v Srbiji ter na Hrvaškem. Na podlagi etnografske raziskave ter intervjujev s strokovnjaki in strokovnjakinjami opredeljuje raznolike, pogosto naspro-tujoče si oblike sodelovanja. Z ozirom na kontinuitete in prelome z jugoslovansko socialno medicino članek zagovarja refleksivne ter razmerja moči upoštevajoče oblike partnerstvav sodobnem upravljanju zdravja
