    Klasične vojaške oblike ogrožanja sveta vse bolj nadomeščajo moderne oblike ogrožanja varnosti, katerih glavne značilnosti so asimetričnost delovanja, kompleksnost, transnacionalnost, raznovrstnost in nedoločljivost struktur, vse večja stopnja organiziranosti nevarnih družbenih skupin ter njihova spretnost v uporabi sodobnih komunikacij. Nekatere hujše oblike navedenih groženj, kot je tudi JRKB/E terorizem, lahko v temeljih zamajejo globalno stabilnost (Rode, 2007, str. 5). Strokovna javnost se bo najverjetneje strinjala, da dojemamo terorizem kot eno največjih groženj trenutni stvarnosti. Države, ki morajo zagotoviti varnost svojim državljanom, to zagotavljajo tudi z vojaško obveščevalno dejavnostjo (VOBDE), kjer je za pridobivanje obveščevalnih podatkov, (vojaška) obveščevalna dejavnost razvila več podzvrsti obveščevalne dejavnosti (Joint intelligence doctrine, 2003). Podzvrsti obveščevalne dejavnosti oziroma tudi funkcionalne obveščevalne discipline zajemajo mnoge vidike obveščevalne produkcije in pogosto zahtevajo specialistično analitično strokovno znanje. Na primeru obveščevalne dejavnosti na področju zdravstva, kažemo pomen nacionalne podpore (REACH BACK) za VOBDE, saj je tako na najbolj racionalen način možno zagotoviti specifična in ekspertna znanja, ki jih običajno v VOBDE ni. V doktorskem delu ves čas sledimo osnovni predpostavki, da obstoječi model VOBDE ne sledi zahtevam sodobnega varnostnega okolja glede groženj varnosti in ne omogoča ustreznega odgovora na varnostne grožnje. Zato trdimo, da moramo zdravstveno obveščevalno dejavnost preko nacionalne podpore (REACH BACK) vključiti v delovanje VOBDE in tako na najbolj racionalen način zagotoviti najvišjo možno stopnjo varnosti. Pri proučevanju VOBDE v boju proti orožjem za množično uničevanje in JRKB/E terorizmu, uporabljamo lastno opredelitev terorizma. JRKB/E terorizem, se po svojih vzrokih, vrstah in značilnostih ne razlikuje od ostalega terorizma, razlikuje se po načinu izvedbe napadato je napada z JRKB agensi, ki predstavljajo orožja za množično uničevanje. Bojevanje proti JRKB/E terorizmu, moramo po našem mnenju poimenovati aktivna obramba pred orožji za množično uničevanje, saj si predvsem zaradi možnih in nesprejemljivih posledic napada ne smemo dovoliti, da do tovrstnega terorističnega napada sploh pride.Conventional military threats to the world are being increasingly replaced by modern security threats. Their main features are the asymmetry of activity, complexity, transnationality, diversity and non-predictable structures, an increasing level of organization of dangerous groups and their skill in the use of modern communications. Some of these threats, such as CBRN/E terrorism may shake the foundations of global stability (Rode, 2007, p. 5). The professional public is likely to agree that we perceive terrorism as one of the greatest threats to the current security. States which must ensure the safety of their citizens resort to, among other things, military intelligence activities to obtain intelligence information. States, as one of the principle actors trying to ensure the security of citizens, are looking for appropriate responses to threats, both in collaboration and networking with other countries and international bodies, as well as in the modified mode of operation within the country. States which must ensure the safety of their citizens resort to, among other things, military intelligence activities to obtain intelligence information. As a result a number of Intelligence Functional Disciplines - Subject Areas (Joint intelligence doctrine, 2003), have been developed within the overall (military) intelligence. which cover many aspects of intelligence production and often require specialist analytical expertise. The authors used the case of medical field (medical intelligence - MEDINT) to show the importance of national support (REACH BACK) to military intelligence, since this is the most rational way possible to ensure both specific and expert knowledge, which usually lacks in the military intelligence. This thesis is based on the assumption that the existing Military Intelligence (MI) model does not follow the requirements of the modern security environment in terms of threats and security. The model does not allow adequate response to security threats. Therefore, we claim that medical intelligence elements should be included in the MI through the national support (REACH BACK), thus providing the most rational way to ensure the highest possible level of security. In the study of the role of military intelligence in the fight against terrorism, the authors used their own definition of terrorism, whereby terrorism is associated with the method and objectives of terrorist activity (the victims). CBRN / E terrorism is in terms of its its causes, types and characteristics no different from terrorism, which is included in the general definition of terrorism. The difference lies in the means used in the attack, that is CBRN / E agents. Combating weapons of mass destruction, should in our view be referred to as active defense against weapons of mass destruction, especially because an CBRN / E terrorist attack should not be allowed to happen given the consequences of such an attack

    The spatial and temporal structure of spider communities was studied in the clay semi-desert of the north-western Caspian Lowland, western Kazakhstan (49°23' N, 46°47' E). The soils and vegetation are complex, being composed of a mosaic of desert and steppe plant communities. Besides the native associations, there are plantations of different tree species. The ground-dwelling spider assemblages in the native habitats are the most diverse. The number of species inhabiting forest plantations is three times as small. Gnaphosidae is the leading family in the ground layer. They show high abundance and diversity levels during the whole season. Thomisidae, Lycosidae, Philodromidae, and Salticidae are abundant as well. The species diversity of herbage-dwelling spiders in different open native habitats is very similar. The spectrum of dominant families (Thomisidae, Oxyopidae, Araneidae, and Salticidae) and the seasonal dynamics of their ratio in desert and steppe associations have much in common. Spider assemblages of native and artificial habitats are characterised by change from multispecies polydominant spring-summer communities to impoverished imbalanced autumn ones. Seasonal changes in the species structure of mature spider groupings in native habitats are well pronounced, while the impact of seasonal conditions is even stronger than between-habitat differences. Complexes of typical species with different levels of habitat preference are revealed

    Varnost v sodobnem svetu predstavlja pomembno vrednoto našega življenja. Živeti v varnem okolju je dandanes velikega pomena in nam ponuja svobodno in umirjeno življenje. Varnost se opredeli in zaključi pri posamezniku, pri katerem je bistveno, da se v družbi in kraju bivanja počuti varno. Lokalna skupnost je temelj varnostnega sistema, saj je varnost v njej posledično pomembna vrednota za varnost na državnem nivoju. Naravne nesreče in kriminaliteta so danes glavni problemi, s katerimi se ukvarjajo odgovorni za varnost, in prav varnost je tista, ki ji je treba dajati večji poudarek. V lokalni skupnosti za varnost skrbijo različni varnostni subjekti, policiji kot glavnemu sledijo še občinsko redarstvo in druge službe odgovorne za zagotavljanje varnosti. Živimo v času, ko se tehnologija razvija in sorazmerno hitro prihaja do novih groženj. V diplomski nalogi je predstavljena varnost Občine Vrhnika, ki spada med srednje velike občine in leži na obrobju Ljubljane. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da kriminaliteta na Vrhniki upada in se iz leta v leto manjša število kaznivih dejanj. Povečujejo pa se naravne in prometne nesreče, ki jim bo treba posvetiti več pozornosti. Pomembno je seznanjenje občanov z različnimi podatki okoli njihove varnosti. Kljub temu da obstaja veliko podatkov o dogajanju na območju Občine Vrhnika, smo lahko priča tveganju in ogrožanju varnosti ljudi. Kljub osveščanju o dogajanju na območju prihaja do različnega tveganja in s tem ogrožanja varnosti. Poleg vsega je zelo pomembno, da so ljudje seznanjeni z delom policije, predvsem v svojem okraju, saj je le-to ključno za varnost.In the modern world, security represents an important value in our lives. Living in a safe environment is of great importance, as it awards us with a life full of freedom and peace of mind. The term security is defined and delineated by an individual who wishes to feel safe both in the society he lives in as well as in his place of residence. The local community is the foundation of the security system, as community itself is key for the security at the state level as well. Today, natural disasters and crime are the main problems with which those responsible for security deal with, and crime is the issue that needs to be given more emphasis. In the local community, various security entities take care of its safetythe police is aided by municipal security and other services responsible. We live in a time when the development of technology is skyrocketing, and thus, new threats are becoming apparent every single day. This diploma thesis presents the security of the municipality of Vrhnika which belongs in the category of medium-sized municipalities and lies on the outskirts of Ljubljana. It was found that crime in Vrhnika is decreasing and that the number of criminal offenses decreases each year. However, natural and traffic accidents are on the rise, and greater attention to these issues is required. It is important to familiarize citizens with various information about their safety. In spite of the fact that there is a lot of information about the events in the Vrhnika area, we were able to witness the risk and endangerment of people\u27s safety. Despite raising awareness of the situation, various hazards are still present which are a threat to security. In addition, it is very important that people become familiar with the work of the police, especially in their own district, as this is the key to security

    Na območju Kamniško Bistriške ravni smo analizirali ekološke in socioekonomskedejavnike, ki vplivajo na krajinsko zgradbo gozdnih robov. Na celotnem območju smo analizirali podatke o dejavnostih prebivalstva, migracijah zaradi zaposlitve, rabi zemljišč, območje pa smo razdelili po višinskih pasovih in naklonih zemljišča. Na podlagi teh podatkov in ocen lahkosklepamo, kje se bodo površine v prihodnosti zaraščale. Ugotovili smo, dase na območju zaraščajo le manjše površine. Ocenili smo 101,2 kilometra gozdnega roba. Naša ocena kaže na stanovitne gozdne robove. V prihodnosti lahko pričakujemo zaraščanje le posameznih manjših parcel v višjih nadmorskih višinah, v okolici samotnih kmetij, v nižinskem predelu so možne krčitve gozdazaradi močno razvitega kmetijstva in vse večjega priseljevanja ljudi na obrobje mest.On the area of Kamniška Bistrica flat land we have analysed the landscape ecological factors and the structure of forest borders. On the total area we have analysed the attributes of population, such as: the most represented activities, working migrations, land use of agricultural area, the area was divided according to the inclination and the altitude level. On the basis of these data and estimations, we can conclude, where the potential areas for spontaneous afforestation are. We have found out, that only small part of total area is being afforested. We have evaluated 101,2 kilometer of forest border. Our estimation indicates the stable forest borders. In the future we can expect afforestation only of separate small plots in the higher altitude levels, near secluded farms, while in the lower altitude levels, the deforestation is possible because of higly developed farming and a bigger migration of the people to the periurban areas

    Interlevkin 21 (IL21) je imunomodulatorni citokin, ki deluje na prirojeni in pridobljeni imunski odziv. Povezan je z nastankom različnih bolezenskih stanj. Študije so pokazale, da ima povečanje ali zaviranje aktivnosti IL21 pozitivni učinek pri zdravljenju širokega spektra bolezni. Bolezenska stanja so posledica odstopanja v sintezi/aktivnosti IL21, do katerih lahko pride med drugim tudi zaradi sprememb v zaporedju DNA. Zanimiv model za raziskave IL21 v povezavi z bolezenskimi stanji je kokoš, saj lahko pri tej vrsti v eksperimentalnih, kontroliranih pogojih induciramo avtoimunski artritis z bakterijo Mycoplasma synoviae. Cilj te raziskave je bil preučiti genetsko variabilnost gena IL21 pri kokoši in preveriti, če se te variante nahajajo znotraj regulatornih regij. Določili smo zaporedje dela gena IL21 pri trajni celični liniji kokošjih makrofagov HD-11. Eksperimentalno smo potrdili prisotnost osmih že znanih različic nukleotidnega zaporedja (SNP-jev). Z uporabo bioinformacijskih metod smo napovedali 16 motivov in tri domene v zaporedju proteina, štiri mesta za vezavo mikro RNA ter lokacije in dolžine α-vijačnic. Naredili smo tudi pregled genetskih variant pri človeku, ki so bile povezane z avtoimunskimi boleznimi. Ena se nahaja v regiji, ki ima ortologno zaporedje v genu IL21 pri kokoši, vendar na tej regiji pri kokoši še ni opisanih genetskih variant. Rezultati te študije bodo omogočili nadaljevanje preučevanja gena IL21 pri kokoši in njegove morebitne povezave z nastankom avtoimunskih bolezni.Interleukin 21 (IL21) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that is part of innate and adaptive immune response. It has been associated with the onset of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Studies have demonstrated that increasing or inhibiting IL21 activity has a positive effect in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Changes in DNA sequence are one of the causes for differences in IL21 synthesis and/or activity. Chicken is an interesting model for studies of IL21 and its association with diseases, as in this species autoimmune arthritis can be induced by the bacterium Mycoplasma synoviae under experimental, controlled conditions. The aim of the present study was to examine genetic variability of the IL21 gene in chicken and to analyze if these variants are located within regulatory regions. We determined the sequence of part of the IL21 gene in macrophage-like immortalized cell line derived from chicken boneHD-11. Eight previously known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were experimentally confirmed. With the use of bioinformatic tools we identified 16 predicted motifs and three domains in IL21 protein sequence in chicken. We predicted four miRNA binding sites and locations and lengths of α-helixes. We also performed the review of genetic variants of IL21 gene in human that were associated with autoimmune diseases. One human variant is located in a region that has an orthologous sequence in the IL21 gene in chicken. The results of this study present a baseline for continuation of the study of the IL21 gene in chicken and its possible association with the development of autoimmune diseases

    V diplomskem delu z naslovom Družabna omrežja in samopodoba mladih sem raziskovala povezavo med uporabo družabnih omrežij in samopodobo mladih. Zanimalo me je, katera družabna omrežja uporabljajo mladi in kako pogosto, koliko časa na dan preživijo na družabnih omrežjih, s kakšnim namenom jih uporabljajo in kako pogosto dobijo občutek slabe samopodobe med uporabo družabnih omrežij. V teoretičnem delu sem raziskala in opisala ključne teme za diplomsko delo. Opisala sem sledeče pojme: družabna omrežja, različne vrste samopodob, mladi. Na koncu teoretičnega dela sem predstavila tudi pomen diplomskega dela za socialno delo. Glavne ugotovitve moje raziskave so, da največ mladih uporablja družabno omrežje YouTube, na drugem mestu pa sledi Instagram. Mladi v največji meri uporabljajo družabna omrežja zaradi stika s prijatelji. Ena izmed pomembnih ugotovitev je tudi ta, da obstaja pozitivna povezava med uporabo družabnih omrežij in občutkom slabe samopodobe. Več kot mladi uporabljajo družabna omrežja, večji je občutek slabe samopodobe.In my research with topic Social networks and the self-image of young people, I investigated the connection between the use of social networks and the self-image of young people. I was interested which social networks young people use and how often, how much time a day they spend on social networks, for what purpose they use them and how often they get a feeling of low self-esteem while using social networks. In the theoretical part, I tackled the key topics for my research. I described the concepts of social networks, different types of self-images and young people. At the end of the theoretical part, I also presented the importance of my research for social work. The main findings of my research are that most young people use the social platform YouTube, followed by Instagram. Young people use social networks mostly to keep in touch with their friends. One of the important findings is that there is a positive connection between the use of social networks and the feeling of poor self-esteem. That is, the more young people use social networks, the greater the feeling of poor self-esteem
