THIRTY YEARS OF THE “ANICA BITENC TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP” - A TRIBUTE TO DR. IGOR A. S. BITENC
No full textPrije 30 godina, točnije u jesen 1984, dr.Igor A.S. Bitenc, umirovljeni ortopedski kirurg iz Kanade jugoslavenskog porijekla, iz svojih osobnih financijskih sredstava osnovao je stipendiju za studijski boravak mladih ortopeda iz tadašnje Jugoslavije u najpoznatijim ortopedskim centrima u Kanadi, koja je, po želji donatora, a u znak sjećanja na njegovu pokojnu majku, nazvana ‘’Stipendija Anica Bitenc’’ (Anica Bitenc Travelling Fellowship ). Prvi stipendista bio je na studijskom boravku u Kanadi 1985, a zatim još 5 mlađih ortopeda, iz različitih jugoslavenskih republika, boravili su u Kanadi. Zbog tragičnog rata i raspada Jugoslavije stipendija je u toku više godina bila privremeno obustavljena, a velikim zalaganjem dr. Igora Bitenca obnovljena je 1997, ali samo za tri novoformirane države i to za Hrvatsku, Sloveniju i Srbiju. Financijska sredstva za ovu stipendiju obezbjedio je dr Igor Bitenc, a cjelokupnu organizaciju sprovodila je Kanadska ortopedska asocijacija (COA), koja je svake godine, naizmjenično, ugostila jednog ortopeda uvijek iz druge države. Organizacija stipendije je u daljem toku bila veoma uspješna, pa su, zahvaljujući velikom dobročinstvu dr. Igora Bitenca, stipendiju do sada kortistila 24 mlada ortopeda iz raznih krajeva bivše Jugoslavije, a dr Igor Bitenc je, donacijom od 300.000 dolara u svom testamentu, osigurao budućnost stipendije za dugi niz godina. Ovaj nezaboravni akt ljudske plemenitosti i domoljublja nesumnjivo će biti od ogromne koristi kako brojnim mladim ortopedima tako i mnoštvu njihovih pacijenata u zemljama Južnih Slavena, zbog čega će dr. Igor Bitenc ostati u našem sjećanju kao veliki prijatelj i dobrotvor kojem dugujemo neizmjernu i trajnu zahvalnost.Thirty years ago, in 1984, Dr. Igor A. S. Bitenc, M.D., F.R.C.S.(C), a retired orthopaedic surgeon from Canada, who was of Yugoslav descent, and who had always remained attached to his original homeland, founded a travelling fellowship for young orthopaedic surgeons from former Yugoslavia named the ‘’Anica Bitenc Travelling Fellowship’’ after his late mother. The first Fellow visited Canada in 1985 and was followed by five Fellows from different areas of Yugoslavia in successive years. Due to the tragic war in Yugoslavia in the 90’s, the Fellowship was postponed for several years. It was resumed in 1997, but only for three newly formed states of Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia. Funding of the Fellowship was provided by an endowment from Dr. Bitenc and managed by the Canadian Orthopaedic Association, which hosts one Fellow per year on the rotational basis from Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia.
The Fellowship finally proved to be very successful and, owing to the benevolence of Dr. Bitenc, 24 young orthopaedic surgeons from various regions of former Yugoslavia have had the opportunity to visit the best orthopaedic centres in Canada so far. Dr. Bitenc has ensured the Fellowship will continue for many years to come by bequeathing an endowment of $ 300.000. This unforgettable act of human nobility and patriotic sensibility will be of enormous help in future to many orthopaedic surgeons and their numerous patients in the countries of South Slavs

Population exposure to lead in drinking water in Slovenia
No full textBACKGROUND: Various environmental studies have shown that the problem of elevated concentrations of lead in drinking water exists mainly in older buildings, where lead parts are built in the network or the network contains other materials containing lead. Migration of lead into drinking water is also affected by particular characteristics of the drinking water and by stagnation of the water in the pipes. Children are particularly susceptible to increased risk of lead exposure in the environment and adverse effects of lead will manifests at lower concentrations in the blood. The purpose of this work is to contribute starting points for the creation of evidence-based measures to reduce the levels of lead in drinking water, and thus its impact on human health in Slovenia. \ud
METHODS: The author conducted a cross-sectional study in order to assess the status of selected public water supply systems and domestic water supply systems in selected kindergartens and elementary schools on the basis of a questionnaire. The concentration of lead in the drinking water of the selected kindergartens and elementary schools was determined by means of an experimental method in a laboratory. Cold drinking water samples of 250ml that stood in the pipes from 8 to 18 hours were used. A method for determining the migration from different materials was applied. An old lead pipe was used, which had already been installed in the facility, as well as new materials (plastic, copper, galvanized pipes and stainless steel pipes and also brass faucet, chrome angle valve and plastic hose) which had not been used yet. To determine the concentration of lead in the water the method ICP-MS was applied. Then the ecological study followed. Lead exposure for a 6-year- old child was calculated on the basis of assessing the uptake of lead from air, water, food and soil. In the calculation, absorption factors were considered and also worst–case scenario was provided. For the assessment, the model IEUBK was used. \ud
RESULTS: Sampling showed that more than 22 % of samples had levels of lead higher than 10 gl, some of them highly exceeded that level. Positive correlation between the age of a building and the concentration of lead in drinking water confirms the assumption that the concentration of lead in drinking water is higher in old domestic distribution networks. Implementation of lead migration from various types of pipes demonstrated the migration from galvanized pipes in all simulants. The assessment of lead exposure for a 6-year-old child has shown a risk of adverse health effects. \ud
CONCLUSION: All concentrations of lead after flushing the pipes were below the 10 gl, which shows that the most effective and the fastest action to lower the concentrations of lead is flushing the water pipes. For the purposes of the national monitoring of drinking water, it is necessary to apply a better method for determining lead levels in drinking water namely the sampling of water that stood in the pipes at least 8 to 18 hours.\u

A Dynamic Subfilter-scale Stress Model for Large Eddy Simulations Based on Physical Flow Scales
No full textWe propose a new definition of the length scale in an eddy-viscosity model for large-eddy simulations (LES). This formulation extends and generalizes a previous proposal [Piomelli, Rouhi and Geurts, Proc. ETMM10, 2014], in which the LES length scale was expressed in terms of the integral length-scale of turbulence determined by the flow characteristics and explicitly decoupled from the simulation grid; this approach was named Integral Length-Scale Approximation (ILSA). As in the original ILSA, the model coefficient was determined by the user, and required to maintain a desired contribution of the unresolved, subfilter scales (SFS) to the global transport. We propose a local formulation (local ILSA) in which the model coefficient is local in space, allowing a precise control over SFS activity as a function of location. This new formulation preserves the properties of the global model; application to channel flow and backward-facing step verifies its features and accuracy
