Moč razvojne biblioterapije v čustvenem doživljanju otrok in mladostnikov
No full textBiblioterapija je nedirektivna svetovalna metoda, ki jo svetovalci in terapevti uporabljajo kot podporno metodo v kliničnem okolju. Ta prispevek je usmerjen v uporabo branja v nekliničnih kontekstih, kjer jo poimenujemo kot vodeno branje, usmerjeno branje, bralni nasveti ali bibliosvetovanje. Tovrstna biblioterapija, poimenovana tudi razvojna biblioterapija, je usmerjena v zdravi del osebnosti, kjer je prebrano lahko sprožilec sprememb v življenju posameznika ali prebrana vsebina deluje preventivno. V šolah je razvojna biblioterapija drugačen način predstavljanja aktualnih življenjskih izzivov, s katerimi se otroci in mladostniki srečujejo, saj jim omogoča vpogled v izkušnje drugih in postavlja model za soočanje s stiskami in izzivi. Pri razvojni biblioterapiji lahko uporabimo literaturo z moralnimi dilemami, poglobljenim psihološkim pristopom, resničnimi značaji oseb ali raznolikimi kulturnimi ozadji, upoštevajoč zastopanost spolov.Bibliotherapy is a nondirective counseling method that counselors and therapists use as a supportive method in a clinical setting. This presentation focuses on the use of reading in nonclinical contexts, where it is called guided reading, directed reading, reading advice, or bibliocounseling. This type of bibliotherapy, also called developmental bibliotherapy, is aimed at the healthy part of the personality, whereby what is read can trigger changes in an individual’s life or the content read has a preventive effect. In schools, developmental bibliotherapy is an alternative way of presenting current life challenges that children and adolescents face because it allows them to gain insight into the experiences of others and establishes a model for dealing with hardships and challenges. In developmental bibliotherapy, one can use literature with moral dilemmas, an indepth psychological approach, real characters of people, or diverse cultural backgrounds, taking into account gender representation. Reading literature allows identification with characters, and consequently emotional involvement, and it stimulates individuals’ personal growth

Hkrati učenje o vzdrževanju dobre telesne kondicije in zdravja, pomaga zavirati napredek multiple skleroze pri bolnikih. Podpora duševnega zdravja s strani psihologov, psihiatrov in izobraževanje ter podpora vsem družinskim članom obolelih je drug temelj programazaradi spopadanja z zahrbtno boleznijo se več kot polovica obolelih spopada z depresijo, veliko podpore in informacij pa potrebujejo tudi njihovi družinski člani in negovalci. Del javnega programa v centru je namenjen tudi širši javnosti in na ta način povezuje obiskovalce centra z okoljem.The project of the master’s thesis deals with a programme of comprehensive rehabilitation of people with multiple sclerosis, in the area of the old ward of the hospital Topolšica, called Smrečina, in Topolšica near Šoštanj.
The programme and its design are based on the desire to provide people with multiple sclerosis and their families with a holistic rehabilitation treatment - this includes a programme of physical activities and therapies, as well as psychological rehabilitation and support.
The design and programming of the project, set close to nature and spruce forests, offers a tranquil space for treatment and rehabilitation.
The programme is based on physiotherapy and psychological supportphysical activities, occupational therapy, electromagnetic therapy, aquatic therapies and therapies in the field of fine motor improvement help to improve the physical condition and well-being of the patients, making it easier for them to cope with the daily symptoms of their illness and the tasks they have in their lives. At the same time, learning how to maintain good physical condition and health helps to slow down the progress of multiple sclerosis in patients.
Mental health support from psychologists, psychiatrists and education and support for all family members, is another cornerstone of the programmemore than half of people diagnosed with MS experience depression as a result of coping with an insidious disease, and much support and information is also needed from family members and carers.
Part of the centre’s public programme is also open to the general public, connecting visitors to the centre with the community
Prevalence of different types of dermal filler usage in Slovenia and public awareness of potential risks
No full textDermalna polnila so danes med najpogosteje uporabljanimi snovmi v nekirurški estetski medicini, njihova vse večja priljubljenost pa odpira pomembna vprašanja o varnosti in poznavanju morebitnih neželenih učinkov. Gre za medicinske pripomočke razreda III, ki se vnašajo v različne plasti kože ali podkožja z namenom povrnitve volumna, glajenja gub in preoblikovanja obraznih kontur. Uporabljajo se različni materiali, med katerimi prevladujejo polnila na osnovi hialuronske kisline ter biostimulativna polnila, ki spodbujajo naravno tvorbo kolagena. Z razvojem tehnologije so postala mehansko stabilnejša, varnejša in estetsko predvidljivejša. Poseben poudarek smo namenili tudi možnim neželenim učinkom, ki segajo od prehodnih lokalnih reakcij do redkejših zapletov, kot so motnje prekrvavitve, okužbe ali dolgoročne spremembe tkiva.
Namen raziskave je bil preučiti razširjenost uporabe dermalnih polnil v Sloveniji, razloge za odločitev ali zadržanost do posega ter stopnjo seznanjenosti s tveganji. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili zgradbo kože, procese staranja in delovanje najpogosteje uporabljanih polnil. V empiričnem delu smo izvedli anonimno spletno anketo, v kateri je sodelovalo 199 posameznikov. Ugotovili smo, da je približno tretjina anketirancev dermalna polnila že uporabila, najpogosteje med 26. in 35. letom starosti. Najpogostejši razlog za poseg je želja po estetskem izboljšanju videza, najpogosteje tretirani predeli pa so ustnice in nazolabialne gube. Večina uporabnikov je bila z rezultati zadovoljna, vendar je četrtina poročala o neželenih učinkih, med katerimi sta najpogostejši oteklina in modrica na mestu vboda. Neuporabniki se za poseg najpogosteje ne odločijo zaradi zadovoljstva s svojim videzom, strahu pred zapleti ali zavračanja videza, ki deluje premalo naravno. Raziskavo smo dopolnili z intervjujem z dermatologinjo dr. Vesno Tlaker, ki je poudarila pomen ustrezne usposobljenosti izvajalcev, pravilne izbire materiala in pravočasnega prepoznavanja zapletov. Opozorila je na naraščajoče izvajanje posegov izven medicinskih ustanov ter na tveganja, ki izhajajo iz uporabe neregistriranih izdelkov ali samoinjiciranja. Ugotovitve raziskave kažejo, da je poznavanje dermalnih polnil v slovenski populaciji razmeroma dobro, vendar so tveganja pogosto podcenjena, zato je potrebna dodatna ozaveščenost tako uporabnikov kot širše javnosti.Dermal fillers are widely used in non-surgical aesthetic medicine. Their increasing popularity has brought questions regarding safety and awareness of their adverse effects. They are categorized as Class III medical devices and are injected into different layers of the skin or subcutaneous tissue to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and reshape facial contours. Several types of fillers are used, the most common being hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulatory fillers that boost collagen production. Technological developments have led to increased safety, better mechanical stability, and more consistent aesthetic results. Particular attention in this thesis was devoted to potential adverse effects, which range from transient local reactions to rarer but severe complications such as vascular occlusion, infection, or long-term tissue changes.
The aim of the research was to find out prevelance of the use of dermal fillers in Slovenia, why people decide to use them or avoid them, and how well they know the risks. According to the findings, around one-third of people, primarily those between the ages of 26 and 35, had previously used dermal fillers. Improving appearance was the most common reason for the procedure, and most commonly treated areas were the lips and nasolabial fold. Most users were satisfied with the results, although a quarter reported adverse effects, especially swelling and bruising at the injection site. Participants who had never used fillers most often stated that they were satisfied with their appearance, were afraid of complications, or did not like the idea of an unnatural look. Additionally, we conducted an interview with dermatologist Dr. Vesna Tlaker, who discussed the significance of clinical competence, selecting appropriate fillers, and early detection of complications. She also drew attention to procedures performed outside medical settings and the risks linked to unregistered products or self-injection. The findings show that dermal fillers are relatively well known in Slovenia, but the risks are still sometimes underestimated, which suggests that more awareness is needed
Martin Pegius (1519–1592)
No full textZnanstvena monografija Martin Pegius (1519–1592) Življenje in delo kranjskega učenega pravnika, avtorja dr. Vida Žepiča, docenta in raziskovalca na Katedri za pravno zgodovino Pravne fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, obravnava življenjsko pot in opus najbolj znanega pravnika z današnjega slovenskega ozemlja iz začetka novega veka. Avtor najprej prikaže pravne razmere v Salzburgu in na Bavarskem v prvi polovici 16. stoletja. Razlog je v tem, da je Martin Pegij rodno Kranjsko zapustil zelo mlad, se šolal na Bavarskem in bil zatem v službi salzburške nadškofije vse do zatona svoje kariere. Ta se je končala z obtožbo izdajanja uradnih skrivnosti in čarovništva. V drugem delu, ki obravnava Pegijev življenjepis, je velik poudarek predvsem na zadnjih letih njegovega življenja. Osrednji del knjige je posvečen predstavitvi njegovih objavljenih del, ki segajo na področja prava, astrologije, govorništva in zdravilstva. Avtor ne obravnava le zanesljivo Pegijevih, temveč skoraj enako pozornost posveti tudi delom, ki so mu jih pripisali v 18. stoletju. Besedilo je podprto z izseki iz njegovih del v izvirniku in v slovenskem prevodu, obogateno pa je s številnimi ilustracijami in opombami. Knjigi je dodana Pegijeva bibliografija in obsežen povzetek v nemškem jeziku. Predgovor h knjigi je napisal zasl. prof. dr. Janez Kranjc. Delo bo zanimivo predvsem za pravnike, zgodovinarje in ljubitelje domoznanske literature. Zaradi Pegijevega ukvarjanja z govorništvom, astronomijo in zdravilstvom je knjiga nepogrešljiva tudi za vse, ki se ukvarjajo z razvojem navedenih ved na domačih tleh. Pegij, čigar kip stoji pred glavnim vhodom Pravne fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, je postal eden njenih simbolov, zato bo knjiga dobrodošlo branje tudi študentom največje pravne fakultete v Sloveniji.The monograph Martin Pegius (1519–1592) Life and Work of the Learned Lawyer from Carniola, authored by dr. Vid Žepič, assistant professor and researcher at the Chair of Legal History, Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana, examines the life and oeuvre of the most prominent lawyer from the territory of present-day Slovenia in the early modern period. The author first presents the legal conditions in Salzburg and Bavaria during the first half of the 16th century. This contextualization is necessary because Martin Pegius left his native Carniola at a young age, studied in Bavaria, and subsequently served the Archbishopric of Salzburg until the decline of his career, which ended with accusations of divulging official secrets and practicing witchcraft. The second part of the book, which focuses on Pegius’ biography, places particular emphasis on the final years of his life. The central section of the book is devoted to presenting his published works, which cover law, astrology, rhetoric, and healing practices. The author examines not only works reliably attributed to Pegius but also devotes nearly equal attention to texts ascribed to him in the 18th century. The text is supported by excerpts from Pegius’ writings in the original language and in Slovene translation, and is enriched with numerous illustrations and annotations. The book also includes a bibliography of Pegius’ works and an extensive summary in German. The foreword is written by Emeritus Professor Dr. Janez Kranjc. The work will be of interest primarily to legal scholars, historians, and enthusiasts of regional literature. Due to Pegius’ engagement with rhetoric, astronomy, and healing, the book is also indispensable for anyone studying the development of these fields in the region. Pegius, whose statue stands in front of the main entrance of the Faculty of Law at the University of Ljubljana, has become one of its symbols, making this book a welcome read for students of Slovenia’s largest law faculty
Self–legitimacy of prison officers and treatment workers
No full textSamozaznava legitimnosti se nanaša na zaupanje avtoritete v lastno sposobnost izvajanja moči, ki je v skladu z moralnimi vrednotami družbe. V zaporskem okolju je pozitivna zaznava lastne legitimnosti pri zaporskih delavcih ključna za učinkovito izvajanje zahtevnih nalog obravnave obsojencev. V študiji se osredotočamo na primerjavo zaznav lastne legitimnosti pravosodnih policistov in strokovnih delavcev v slovenskih zaporih v dveh časovnih obdobjih. Reprezentativna vzorca zaporskih delavcih sta bila zbrana v vseh slovenskih zaporih in prevzgojnem domu v letih 2016 in 2022. Namen študije je izpostaviti dejavnike, ki se povezujejo s samozaznavo legitimnosti pravosodnih policistov in strokovnih delavcev, opredeliti razlike in podobnosti v zaznavi lastne legitimnosti med skupinama ter preveriti (ne)stabilno naravo legitimnosti v daljšem časovnem obdobju. Rezultati statičnih analiz (opisna statistika, faktorska analiza, korelacijska analiza in regresijske analize) so pokazali, da obstajajo manjše razlike v dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na samozaznavo legitimnosti pravosodnih policistov in strokovnih delavcev. Pri obeh skupinah so se z zaznavo lastne legitimnosti povezovali odnosi z obsojenci in subkultura zaporskega osebja. S samozaznavo legitimnosti pravosodnih policistov so se povezovali še odnosi s sodelavci, z zaznavo lastne legitimnosti strokovnih delavcev pa nivo dosežene izobrazbe. Pri obeh skupinah je na zaznavo lastne legitimnosti vplivala časovna komponenta, kar se je odražalo v spreminjajočih se dejavnikih, ki so se povezali z zaznavo lastne legitimnosti v različnih časovnih obdobjih.Self-legitimacy refers to the authority’s belief in the ability to exercise entrusted power in accordance with the moral values of society. In the prison environment, prison workers’ positive perception of self-legitimacy is crucial for the effective implementation of demanding tasks of treatment of prisoners. In the study, we focus on comparing the perceptions of self-legitimacy of prison officers and treatment workers in Slovenian prisons in two time periods. Representative samples of prison workers were obtained from all Slovenian prisons and a correctional in 2016 and 2022. The purpose of the study is to highlight variables associated with the self-legitimacy of prison officers and treatment workers, define the differences and similarities in the perception of self-legitimacy between the groups, and verify the (un)stable nature of legitimacy over a longer period of time. The results of the statistical analyses (descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analyses) showed that there are minor differences in the variables that correlate with the self-legitimacy of prison officers and treatment workers. In both groups, relations with prisoners and the subculture of prison staff correlated with self-legitimacy. Relationships with colleagues also correlated with prison officers’ perception of self-legitimacy, while the level of achieved education correlated with the self-legitimacy of treatment workers. In both groups, the perception of one’s own legitimacy was influenced by the time component, which was reflected in the changing factors influencing self-legitimacy in different time periods
Analysis of methods for efficient point removal from a piecewise linear curve
No full textV računalniški grafiki in sorodnih aplikacijah veliki nabori podatkov pogosto vodijo do daljših časov nalaganja. Vendar pa v mnogih primerih za nadaljnjo obdelavo niso potrebni vsi podatki, kar omogoča uporabo tehnik zmanjševanja podatkov. Eden takšnih pristopov je učinkovito odstranjevanje točk odsekoma linearne krivulje. Ta diplomska naloga predstavlja analizo štirih algoritmov za odstranjevanje točk: Visvalingam–Whyatt, Reumann–Witkam, Lang in Zhao–Saalfeld. Metode so ovrednotene z uporabo meje Slovenije kot referenčnega nabora podatkov. Vrednotenje se osredotoča na kakovost aproksimacije in računsko zahtevnost. Za preučitev skalabilnosti algoritmov so poskusi ponovljeni na naborih podatkov različnih velikosti. Poleg tega je obnašanje algoritmov analizirano na krivulji, ki vsebuje samopresečišče.In computer graphics and related applications, large datasets often lead to increased loading times. In many cases, however, not all data points are required for further processing, which allows the use of data reduction techniques. One such approach is the simplification of linear curve segments through point removal methods.
This thesis presents a comparative analysis of four point removal algorithms: Visvalingam–Whyatt, Reumann–Witkam, Lang, and Zhao–Saalfeld. The methods are evaluated using the border of Slovenia as a reference dataset. The evaluation focuses on approximation quality and computational performance. To examine the scalability of the algorithms, the experiments are repeated on datasets of different sizes. Furthermore, the behavior of the algorithms is analyzed on a curve containing a self-intersection
Recent advances in automatic term extraction
No full textAutomatic terminology or term extraction (ATE) is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) task intended to automatically identify specialized terms present in domain-specific corpora. As units of knowledge in a speciic ield of expertise, extracted terms are not only beneicial for several terminographical tasks, but also support and improve several complex downstream tasks, e.g., information retrieval, machine translation, topic detection, and sentiment analysis. ATE systems and datasets annotated for the task at hand have been studied and developed for decades, but more recent approaches have increasingly involved novel neural systems. Despite a large amount of new research on ATE tasks, systematic survey studies covering novel neural approaches are lacking, especially when it comes to the usage of large-scale language models (LLMs). We present a comprehensive survey of neural approaches to ATE, focusing on transformer-based neural models and the recent generative approaches based on LLMs. The study also compares these systems and previous ML-based approaches, which employed feature engineering and non-neural supervised learning algorithms
Retrieval-augmented generation for exploring historical parliamentary corpora
No full textZgodovinski parlamentarni zapisniki so dragoceni viri za razumevanje političnih in družbenih procesov preteklosti, vendar je raziskovanje po obsežnih korpusih časovno zahtevno. V diplomski nalogi raziskujemo uporabo s poizvedovanjem obogatenega generiranja (RAG) za iskanje in odgovarjanje na vprašanja nad korpusom zapisnikov kranjskega deželnega zbora (1861–1913) in narodnega predstavništva Kraljevine Jugoslavije (1919–1939). Korpus vsebuje besedila v slovenščini, nemščini, hrvaščini in srbščini. Primerjali smo različne strategije segmentacije besedila, metode vektorskega vstavljanja, tehnike iskanja in generativne modele z odprtimi licencami. Rezultati kažejo, da model qwen3:8b dosega najboljšo kakovost odgovorov tako za slovenska kot angleška vprašanja, medtem ko modeli gemma3:4b in llama3.1:8b ponujajo dobro razmerje med kakovostjo in hitrostjo. Ugotavljamo tudi, da večina modelov bolje podpira angleščino, kar predstavlja izziv pri uporabi RAG za manjše jezike.Historical parliamentary records are valuable sources for understanding political and social processes of the past, yet exploring large corpora remains time-consuming. This thesis investigates the use of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for querying and answering questions over a corpus of session records from the Carniolan Provincial Assembly (1861–1913) and the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1919–1939). The corpus contains texts in Slovenian, German, Croatian, and Serbian. We compared various text segmentation strategies, vector embedding methods, retrieval techniques, and open-source generative models. Results show that qwen3:8b achieves the best answer quality for both Slovenian and English questions, while gemma3:4b and llama3.1:8b offer a good balance between quality and speed. We also find that most models provide better support for English, which presents a challenge when applying RAG to less-resourced languages
A benchmark model for power system restoration studies
No full textRecent widespread blackouts in Europe (e.g., the Iberian Peninsula) and worldwide (e.g., Chile) have highlighted the critical importance of robust restoration processes. Traditionally, restoration has relied on synchronous generators and predefined strategies, which have been only partially tested in practice and mainly evaluated with simulators capturing basic system dynamics. The changing grid environment raises question of how these strategies can be further improved. The increasing dominance of inverter-based resources introduces reduced inertia, new dynamic interactions, and greater uncertainty from variable renewable generation. This motivates a re-evaluation and new study of existing restoration approaches. International efforts have proposed updated restoration guidelines and explored advanced technologies such as battery energy storage systems, grid-forming inverters, and high-voltage direct current systems. Yet, despite the growing importance of managing dynamics in the delicate restoration phase, field testing remains limited. This highlights the need for a benchmark restoration model. As a first step toward such a model, this paper reviews existing restoration processes, identifies technical challenges, and develops a simulation framework including key network components typically available during restoration. The model enables scenario-based testing of both conventional and advanced strategies, supporting a better understanding of dynamic behaviour and system stability. The proposed model has been implemented for EMT and RMS simulations using both commercial tools (PowerFactory, PSCAD) and non-commercial tools under development. By providing a flexible platform, it bridges the gap between research and practice, supporting system operators, researchers, and policymakers in designing more resilient and adaptive restoration strategies for future power systems
