PARTICIPANCY AND THE CONTEMPORARY IN INDEPENDENT FILM PRODUCTION IN SLOVENIA
No full textV dobrem stoletju svojega obstoja je dokumentarni film doživel radikalne spremembe tako v svoji reprezentaciji kot v samem izgledu. Dandanes je dokumentarizem eno glavnih orodij za razumevanje globalnih kontekstov na nivoju širše javnosti. Tudi v Sloveniji je dokumentarna produkcija, predvsem neodvisna, v zelo hitrem razvoju, krog ustvarjalcev in tudi občinstva dokumentarnih filmov pa je širši kot kdajkoli prej. V diplomskem delu se, po pregledu trenutnega stanja neodvisne dokumentarne produkcije v Sloveniji, poglobimo v različne teorije dokumentarne reprezentacije. Nato pa preko pogovora z režiserko Anjo Medved in analizo njenih filmov skušamo raziskati, kakšne so značilnosti sodobnih dokumentarnih vsebin, v katero smer pelje njihov razvoj ter kakšni so cilji, ki si jih njihovi režiserji zastavljajo.In more than one hundred years of its history, the documentary film was marked by radical changes in representational and visual meanings. Nowadays, the main efforts of documentarism are focused toward the understanding of global contexts on a large public scale. The independent documentary in Slovenia is developing extremely fast. The consequences are fast growing production teams and audiences. We begin the following thesis with a short overview on documentary tradition and a structural research on some documentary theories. The core part is based on the director Anja Medved, starting with an interview and followed by an analysis of four of her films. The goal is to find some specifics of the contemporary documentary film and understand the meanings which today\u27s directors impose on documentarism
Corporate Social Responsibility
No full textZaključno delo raziskuje razvoj koncepta družbene odgovornosti podjetja, začenši s časom industrijske revolucije in iskanjem skupne definicije v 50., 60. in 70. letih 20. stoletja, ter njemu sorodna koncepta družbene odzivnosti in družbene uspešnosti podjetja. V nadaljevanju predstavi ekonomske in sociološke poglede na družbeno odgovornost podjetja ter oriše sprejete dogovore in zakonodajne okvire, ki bi omogočili trajnostni razvoj v Evropski uniji. Nazadnje raziskuje pomen koncepta trajnostnosti, ki se danes pogosto uporablja namesto koncepta družbene odgovornosti, in predpostavi možne vzroke za tovrstni premik.The undergraduate thesis explores the evolution of the concept of corporate social responsibility, starting with the Industrial Revolution and the search for a common definition in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and the related concepts of corporate social responsiveness and corporate social performance. Further, it presents the economic and sociological perspectives on corporate social responsibility and outlines the agreements and legislative frameworks in place that would enable sustainable development in the European Union. Finally, it explores the meaning of the concept of sustainability, which is now often used instead of corporate social responsibility, and suggests possible reasons for this shift
Independent venues and the mass media
No full textFenomen samoniklih prizorišč je v Sloveniji še vedno spregledan in njihov pomen marginaliziran. Magistrsko delo obravnava odnos množičnih medijev do samoniklih prizorišč, saj so mediji kot mediatorji med javnostjo in oblastjo tisti, ki pomembno vplivajo tako na javno mnenje kot na odnos institucij do določene problematike. V magistrskem delu raziskujemo medijsko poročanje o samoniklih prizoriščih in karakteristike njihovega odnosa z mediji, na primeru prizorišč v Kopru in Mariboru. Tako smo v osrednjem delu raziskave izvedli kvalitativno analizo medijskih objav o samoniklih prizoriščih v tisku, na televiziji in spletu. Na podlagi fokusne skupine z aktivistkami in aktivisti samoniklih prizorišč in intervjuja s kulturno urednico časopisa Večer smo raziskali faktorje medijske zastopanosti in ključne elemente odnosa med mediji in samoniklimi prizorišči. Raziskava je potrdila majhno medijsko prisotnost samoniklih prizorišč v obravnavanih medijih, predvsem v smislu globljega poročanja o delovanju. Novinarji v svojih prispevkih večinoma ne odražajo razumevanja problematike samoniklih prizorišč. Le ta pa so zaradi neurejene formalne in finančne situacije le delno vključujejo v razne oblike sodelovanja z mediji.The phenomena of independent venues in Slovenia is definitely a neglected subject in the society and the importance of such venues is marginalised. The master thesis deals with the relations between independent venues and the mass media, since the latter is an important mediator between the public sphere and the authorities: it has a big impact on the public opinion as well as on the institution policy. Our research focuses on media coverage of independent venues and on how the media is seen from the perspective of the activists in the venues – dealing with the case of Maribor and Koper. In the central part of the research a qualitative analysis of the media coverage is made, based on articles found in press, television and internet. Through a focus group with the independent venue activists and an interview with a culture editor of a known Slovenian newspaper we emphasized the key elements in this relations. The findings include small media coverage of independent venues, especially in terms of deeper reports on the issue. The articles do not show deeper understanding of the phenomena by the journalists, jet the venues do not intensely cooperate with the media, due to their inadequate financial and formal structure

Diffuse Low-Grade Gliomas in Adults
No full textNumerous diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic issues concerning lowgrade gliomas still remain to be clari fi ed. In this regard, in vitro and in vivo models of low-grade gliomas would represent a way to get insight into these crucial aspects. However, many of the in vitro and in vivo models assayed in the literature are focused on high-grade gliomas. For this reason, in this chapter we reviewed the literature on low-grade glioma culture describing the results so far obtained, highlighting limitations and envisioning promising innovative directions that research is undertaking in this critical fi eld. Speci fi cally, fi rst, we critically presented the conventional methods adopted to study low-grade gliomas, such as continuous human tumor cell lines and short-term glioma cultures. Then, we discussed the culture methods utilized to isolate and in vitro expand glioma cancer stem cells from adult and pediatric tumors, underlining the need of optimizing new culture conditions because of the partial failure of the simple transfer to low-grade gliomas of the methods ef fi cient in isolating glioma stem cells from highgrade gliomas. Finally, we presented the innovative, although still in its infancy, possibility to culture nonneoplastic stromal cells as a way to obtain cell lines representative of the biological behavior of the patient tumors. In conclusion, the aim of this chapter was to explain why the culture of patient-derived cancer cells represents a unique opportunity to create in vitro and in vivo models closely mimicking the biological properties of the patient tumor, thus allowing a patient-based approach

No full textMalignant glioblastoma represents a challenge in the chemotherapy of brain
tumors, because of its aggressive behavior characterized by chemoresistance,
infiltrative diffusion, and high rate of recurrence and death. In this study, we
used cultured human U87MG cells and primary human glioblastoma cultures to test
the anticancer properties of resveratrol (RV), a phytoalexin abundantly present
in a variety of dietary products. In U87MG cells, 100 μM RV elicited cell growth
arrest by 48 h and bax-mediated cell toxicity by 96 h and greatly limited cell
migration and invasion through matrigel. Both in U87MG cells and in primary
glioblastoma cultures, the chronic administration of RV (100 μM for up to 96 h)
decreased the expression of nestin (a brain (cancer) stem cells marker) but
increased that of glial acidic fibrillary protein (a mature glial cell marker)
and of βIII-tubulin (a neuronal differentiation marker). Chronic treatment with
RV increased the proportion of cells positive for senescence-associated
β-galactosidase activity. This is the first report showing the ability of RV to
induce glial-like and neuronal-like differentiation in glioblastoma cells. The
beneficial effects of chronic RV supplementation lasted up to 96 h after its
withdrawal from the culture medium. The present findings support the introduction
of pulsed administration of this food-derived molecule in the chemotherapy
regimen of astrocytomas
