Art therapy for people with intellectual disabilities and emotional behavioral disorders
No full textIntellectual disabilities (ID) are disorders characterised by under-average intellectual functioning and reduced adaptive functions. ID are affecting individual perceptions, ways of thinking, interactions, emotions and behaviour. According to a level of deficit persons with ID are categorised at mild, moderate, severe and profound intellectual disability. People with ID can be included in personalised or special education programs. Most people with ID have no access to the labour market and are involved in various work activities within the centres. They receive a symbolic payment for their work. They live with their parents or in special homes for people with ID, accommodation units, housing communities, or in homes for the elderly. Emotional and behavioural disorders often occur in people with ID. Emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD) are characterised by aggressive, auto-aggressive and delinquent behaviour. The occurrence of EBD is influenced by various biological, ecological, social and personality factors.
Arts therapies, as a subtype of art therapy, turned out to be useful in dealing with people with ID associated with EBD. The goal of arts therapies is to improve the quality of people's lives, which includes many areas of life for an individual. For people with ID, it is particularly effective, because it offers communication along the other path and offers the possibility of developing its own identity through the development of the painting style. Arts therapies is characterised by the triangular relationship which includes a participant, an art product, and a therapist. Their mutual relationship is significant. Arts therapies has certain phases and structure of therapeutic meetings. It can be individually, collectively or combined. Different art therapy techniques and activities are used according to the participant's characteristics and goals that we want to achieve. Knowing and adapting art materials is essential, primarily when working with people with ID. It is crucial to know the development of artistic expression and the specificity of the development of artistic expression in persons with ID.
In the empirical part, we used three case studies to determine the impact of arts therapies in the treatment of people with ID associated with EBD. The influence of arts therapies was observed in the areas of self-image, autonomy, self-initiative and perseverance, communication, social interaction and specific behavioural areas specific to individual EBD. In the study were involved three people with moderate ID associated with mild EBD, with between 18 and 37 years of age. In determining the initial and final condition, we used the standardized Adaptive Behavior Scale form The American Association for Mental Deficiency (AAMD) (Igrić in Fulgosi-Masnjak, 1991) and questionnaire customised by 'Evaluation List of Aid with Art' (Evalvacijski list Pomoči z umetnostjo) from the author E. Bizjak (2007). The scales and the questionnaires were filled by a professional who personally knows participants. The research showed that arts therapies has positive effects on participants, especially in the areas of challenging behaviour, autonomy and self-image. Arts therapies also had a positive impact on the areas of self-initiative and perseverance, social relations and communication. It has been concluded that for significant changes in this population, it would be necessary to carry out arts therapies for a more extended period, at least two years or more
THE ROLE OF A NOTARY IN INHERITANCE PROCEEDINGS IN SLOVENIA AND CROATIA
No full textV diplomskem delu sem obravnavala vlogo notarja v zapuščinskem postopku v Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem. Ugotovila sem, da je v Sloveniji v primerjavi z Hrvaško vloga notarja v zapuščinskem postopku zelo majhna. Zapuščinske zadeve v Sloveniji še vedno ureja sodišče, medtem ko ima notar na Hrvaškem v zapuščinskem postopku veliko več pristojnosti. Opravlja lahko vsa dejanja in izdaja odločbe, ki jih sicer izdaja sodišče, razen če je z zakonom določeno drugače. Kljub temu, da je notariat opredeljen kot javna služba, pa notarji nimajo pomembnejših pooblastil v zapuščinskem postopku. Smiselno bi bilo, da se na notarje prenesejo nesporne zapuščinske zadeve, notarji pa bi na podlagi zakona dobili pooblastilo za vodenje zapuščinskih zadev in izdajanje listin o dedovanju. To bi v naš sistem prineslo veliko pozitivnih posledic. S tem bi se razbremenilo delo sodišč in zmanjšali bi se sodni zaostanki, kar pomeni, da bi zapuščinske zadeve državljani urejali hitreje. Menim, da je vsekakor smiselno da se notarjem podeli več pooblastil, kot je to urejeno v sosednji Avstriji ali Hrvaški, saj so notarji nedvomno dovolj usposobljeni tudi na področju dednega prava.In this thesis, we discuss the role of the notary public in probate proceedings in Slovenia and Croatia. We found that in Slovenia compared to Croatia the role of a notary public in probate proceedings is very small. Succession in Slovenia is still governed by the court. Croatia has a notary in a probate proceeding a lot more powers. It can perform all acts and issuing decisions that would otherwise issuing court, unless otherwise defined by law. Despite the fact that the notary is defined as a public service, but notaries have important powers in the probate proceedings. It would make sense that the notaries transferred uncontested probate cases, notaries, on the basis of the law to get authorization to conduct matters of succession and the issuance of documents on inheritance. This would in our system brought many positive consequences. This would ease the burden on the work of the courts and to reduce the backlog of cases, which means that probate matters governed by the citizens more quickly. I think that certainly makes sense that a notary be granted more powers, as practiced in neighboring Austria or Croatia, as notaries are certainly skilled enough in the field of inheritance law
Closing in on Zero Emissions Commitment (ZEC) uncertainty
No full textA stabilisation of global temperature can be achieved by reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions to zero. Delayed warming or cooling, called zero emissions commitment (ZEC), can still occur after emissions have stopped. The magnitude of ZEC has been estimated to be 0±0.3 degrees Celsius, based on multi-model means. The individual models, however, show a wide range of responses from the climate system to the cessation of emissions, furthering the uncertainties regarding future temperature developments.
Therefore, it is crucial to improve our knowledge of the ZEC uncertainty range in multiple aspects. This study contributes to a better understanding of the leading drivers of uncertainty of ZEC by analyzing a perturbed parameter ensemble of key dynamics of ZEC in ambitious mitigation scenarios. Using an Earth system model of intermediate complexity (UVic ESCM), we quantify how model parameters affect ZEC estimates for zero emissions preceded either by idealised constant emissions (20 and 10 PgC/yr) or by net-negative emissions scenarios. Finally, we analyze how the efficiency of Earth system processes relevant to ZEC, like carbon burial and heat uptake, can vary over different timescales after cessation of emissions

BURNOUT ON WORK IN THE SLOVENIAN ORGANIZATIONS
No full textVsakodnevno je vse več ljudi, ki delajo pod stresom, ta pa povzroča telesne in duševne težave. Ljudje, ki so dolgoročno pod vplivom negativnega stres, običajno izgorijo. Izgorelost ljudi se odraža kot popolna izguba energije, pogoste so psihofizične motne in posameznik ni zmožen opravljati delovnih nalog več mesecev ali let. Novodobna bolezen izgorelost (burnout) ni le problem posameznika, ampak celoten družbe. Zaradi relativno novega sindroma izgorelosti, sem se odločila, da bom v diplomski nalogi predstavila pojem izgorelosti, dosedanje ugotovitve, vzroke za nastanek, vpliv organizacije na nastanek izgorelosti ter opravila raziskavo med različnimi podjetij na temo izgorelost ljudi.Every day, there are more and more people working under stress, which causes physical and mental problems. People, who are affected by negative stress in a long term, usually burn out. The burnout of people is shown as total loss of energy, psychophysical disorders are often present, and a person is not capable of performing his obligations for months or even years. A modern-age disease called burnout is not merely a problem of a single individual, but it is a problem of the whole society. Due to a relatively new burnout syndrome I have decided to introduce the topic of burnout in my diploma thesis, which also includes current findings, causes for the emergence of burnout and influence of organization on the emergence of burnout. Further, I have also conducted a research among various companies on the subject of burnout
INDICATIONS IN TAX FRAUDS
No full textPri obravnavanju teme »indici davčnih utaj« je potrebno opredeliti dva pojma, in sicer davčne utaje in indic. Indic (lat. indicium) je (značilno, sumljivo) znamenje, dejstvo, okoliščina, po kateri sklepamo o čem, zlasti pa znamenja, okoliščine, po katerih se sklepa na storilca kaznivega dejanja (Verbinc, 1982). Indici in indicialne metode se tako uporabljajo v vseh segmentih preiskovanja, sicer ne toliko kot dokaz, ampak predvsem kot orientacijo in začetni sum v preiskovanju kaznivih dejanj.
Davčna utaja je s pravnega vidika opredeljena kot vsako dejanje davčnega zavezanca, da davčnim ali drugim organom posreduje nepravilne ali nepopolne podatke ali davčni organ ne obvesti o davčno pomembnih zadevah ali pa protizakonito uporablja davčne označbe ali žige in zase ali za druge osebe pridobi neupravičene davčne ugodnosti. O davčni utaji govorimo tudi takrat, ko se davčni zavezanec na osnovi napačnih ali namerno izpuščenih navedb delno ali popolnoma izogne obveznostim (Čokelc, 2005). S pravnega vidika lahko dejanja davčnega zavezanca, ki jih počne, da bi zmanjšal davčno obveznost, delimo v tri skupine: izognitev davku, zaobidenje davka in utaja davka(Čokelc, 2007). Po ekonomski opredelitvi davčne utaje pa le-to definiramo kot zavestno odločitev za zmanjšanje davčne obveznosti. Pri tem se davčni zavezanec zaveda morebitnega pregona, ampak se na podlagi pozitivnih in negativnih učinkov odloči za utajo (Čokelc, 2005).
Vsekakor predstavljajo indici pomemben faktor v preiskovanju davčnih utaj, predvsem kot indikator davčnih malverzacij, v nekaterih primerih pa lahko tudi kot dokaz. Sam način zaznavanja je odvisen od preiskovalca, njegovih izkušenj in znanja. Problem pa predstavlja prav zaznavanje ob poplavi novih pravnih subjektov, pojavnih oblik in učinka globalizacije. Stopna utajevanja je po mnenju preiskovalcev visoka, pri čemer se utajevanje po določenih segmentih obdavčitve razlikuje glede na stanje v gospodarstvu.When dealing with the topic »Indications in tax frauds«, two terms have to be defined, namely tax evasion and indication. A clue or indication (Lat. indicum) is a (characteristic, suspicious) sign, fact, circumstance on the basis of which something can be inferred, in particular this refers to signs, circumstances on the basis of which inferences about the perpetrator of a criminal offence can be made (Verbinc, 1982). Indications and the clue investigation method are therefore used in all segments of investigation. They are less frequently used as evidence, but they rather serve as orientation and initial suspicion in investigating criminal offences.
Tax evasion is, from a legal point of view, defined as any act of a taxpayer to report false or incomplete data to tax authorities or other bodies, not to report tax-related matters to tax authorities, or to illegaly use tax labels or stamps, or to obtain undue tax benefits for oneself or any other party. Partial or total avoidance of duties by a taxpayer giving false or deliberately incomplete tax reports is also considered as tax evasion (Čokelc, 2005). From a legal point of view, a taxpayer\u27s acts performed to reduce one own\u27s tax duties can be classified into three groups - tax avoidance, tax circumvention and tax evasion (Čokelc, 2007). According to the definition of the term tax evasion, used in economics, tax evasion is defined as a deliberate decision to reduce one\u27s tax duties. In this respect, the taxpayer is aware of possible prosecution, but nonetheless decides to evade the taxes on the basis of its positive and negative effects (Čokelc, 2005).
Indications by all means represent an important factor in investigating tax evasion. They are most frequently used as an indicator of tax malversations, while in certain cases they can also be considered as evidence. Tax evasion detection methods depend on the investigator, and the experience and knowledge of the latter. Due to numerous new legal entities, emergence types and globalisation effects, it is actually the detection that poses a problem. According to investigators, the level of tax evasion is high, while the evasion in various segments of taxation differs according to the economic situation

ZEC ECC: A Zero-Byte Eliminating Compression-Based ECC Scheme for DRAM Reliability
No full textAs DRAM cells continue to shrink, the conventional single error correction and double error detection (SECDED) code is not sufficient to provide DRAM error resilience. To satisfy DRAM reliability demands, various studies have proposed multi-bit error correctable ECC schemes with substantial performance and/or storage overhead compared to the SECDED code. In this paper, we propose ZEC ECC, a zero-byte eliminating compression based ECC scheme, which provides much stronger error correction capability with negligible performance overhead and no storage overhead. ZEC ECC exploits our proposed Zero-byte Eliminating Compression (ZEC) to make room for additional parity bits. Depending on the compression ratio of a memory block ( %, %, and <50%), ZEC ECC adaptively selects one out of three different ECC schemes (BCH(32,16,3), BCH(27,16,2), and BCH (573,512,6), respectively). Moreover, ZEC ECC tolerates a single chip failure by exploiting bitwise interleaving data placement, as long as the compression ratio is higher than or equal to 50% for a 64B memory block. Our experimental results show that ZEC ECC reduces the system failure probability (caused by DRAM errors) by 74.4%, on average, with only 1.6% performance overhead and no storage overhead compared to the conventional SECDED
