No full textSome new results on a linear equation of the second order
No full textAbstractWork on solving the second order linear oscillation defined by Eq. (1.1), with continuous and positive coefficient Φ(x) that satisfies Lipschitz’s condition on semi-axis [0,+∞) and the divergence of ∫0+∞(Φ−G′2)dx, had started since the 1830s with Sturm’s theorems. This paper presents generalizations as well as a simplification of classical Sturm’s theorems on the location and the position of zero oscillations, which have not been included in Amrein et al. (2005) [5]. Besides, according to results from Dimitrovski and Mijatović (1997) [1], Dimitrovski et al. (2007) [2] and Dimitrovski et al. (2007) [4], we add some ideas and supplements (Theorems 2.4–2.8, 2.10 and 2.11) to the classical Sturm’s theory of oscillations
Sensory preferences of Slovenian wine consumers regarding chardonnay wines of different origins
No full textVinska kultura je del človeške kulture, ki je povezana s predelovanjem, trženjem in uživanjem vina. V zadnjih letih je prišlo do zares neverjetnega porasta zanimanja za vino, za način uživanja in spoznavanje vina. Glede na to, da svetovna vinogradniška industrija postaja vse bolj konkurenčna, se tržniki nenehno zavzemajo za razlikovanje svojih izdelkov ter podrobno razumevanje potreb potrošnikov, ki so ključnega pomena za uspeh. Senzorične lastnosti zelo vplivajo na odločitev za nakup določenega proizvoda pri potrošnikih, prav tako tudi ekstrinzične lastnosti proizvodov. Ker nas je zanimalo, kakšne so preference Slovencev glede uživanja vina različnega porekla, smo raziskali in analizirali slovenske potrošnike vina. V nalogi smo preučevali vpliv različnega porekla vina pri slovenskih potrošnikih. Senzorično ocenjevanje vina je potekalo v slepem in informiranem pogoju ocenjevanja, poleg tega so bila v anketni vprašalnik vključena tudi vprašanja o sociodemografskih podatkih ter nakupovalnih navadah potrošnikov. Na podlagi statističnih analiz smo prišli do sklepov, da poreklo pri slovenskih potrošnikih vpliva na izbiro vina. Tako so za domače vino slovenski potrošniki izrazili, da jim je najbolj všeč v primerjavi z ostalimi vini. Preučevali smo tudi vpliv samozavesti in etnocentrizma na ocenjevanje všečnosti vina.Wine culture is a part of culture related to the processing, marketing and consumption of wine. In recent years there has been an unbelievable increase in the interest in wine, manners of its consumption and getting to know it better. With the global wine industry becoming more and more competitive, marketers are continuously striving for the differentiation of their products and a detailed understanding of consumers’ needs, which is crucial for success. Sensory properties as well as extrinsic characteristics greatly influence consumers’ purchase decisions. Due to our interest in the preferences of Slovenians regarding the consumption of wine of different origins, we wanted to analyze and research Slovenian wine consumers. In this paper we studied the influence of different origins of wine on the choices Slovenian consumers make. The sensory evaluation of wine was conducted in blind and informed assessment conditions, and the questionnaire included questions about consumers’ sociodemographic data and their buying habits. Statistical analyses revealed that the country of origin has a huge impact on the consumers’ choice of wine. The domestic wine sample received the highest likeability ratings. We also studied the influence of self-esteem and ethnocentrism
Prevalence of Burnout Among Social Workers and Other Professionals at Centers for Social Work in Slovenia
No full textDiplomsko delo analizira pojav izgorelosti med socialnimi delavkami. Raziskovala sem, kako je izgorelost definirana, kako se manifestira v delovnem okolju in kakšen vpliv ima na posameznika. Poseben poudarek je na ugotavljanju dejavnikov, ki prispevajo k izgorelosti, ter na identifikaciji strategij za njeno obvladovanje. Razlog za raziskovanje pojava izgorelosti je govor o vedno večjem izgorevanju socialnih delavk na centrih za socialno delo, kar se kaže v veliki fluktuaciji zaposlenih in pomanjkanju kadra.
Pregledane so relevantna literatura in obstoječe raziskave na tem področju. Literatura zajema teme stresa, izgorelosti, izgorelosti v poklicih pomoči, skrbi zase in organizacijski skrbi zase. Cilj diplomskega dela ima poudarek na pomenu ozaveščanja o tej problematiki ter možnosti za sistemsko priznavanje izgorelosti kot poklicne bolezni. Sodelovanje s pristojnimi institucijami,
Ministrstvom za delo, družino, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti (v nadaljevanju MDDSZ) ter centri za socialno delo (v nadaljevanju CSD), omogoča dostop do celotne populacije in kasnejše predlaganje konkretnih politik in praks na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov za zmanjšanje stresa na delovnem mestu, kar je pomembno za pozitivne učinke tako za zaposlene kot tudi za organizacijo kot celoto ter uporabnike storitev na centrih za socialno delo.
Raziskava je kvantitativna in deskriptivna ter vsebuje pet hipotez. Podatke sem zbirala s pomočjo anonimnega anketnega vprašalnika, ki sem ga izdelala v programu 1ka, dr. Sonja Robnik s Sektorja za varnost in zdravje na MDDSZ pa ga je razposlala vsem direktorjem centrov za socialno delo po Sloveniji. Vprašalnik vsebuje 29 vprašanj zaprtega tipa. Anketni vprašalnik je bil aktiven med 11. marcem in 23. aprilom 2024. Vseh enot raziskovanja je bilo 541, od tega 319 ustreznih. Izvedena je bila kvantitativna analiza podatkov s pomočjo programov 1ka in Excel.
Ključne ugotovitve raziskave so naslednje: izgorelost je pogost pojav med socialnimi delavkami, pri čemer so glavni dejavniki tveganja povezani z visokimi delovnimi obremenitvami in pomanjkanjem organizacijske podpore. Socialne delavke, ki aktivno skrbijo zase, predvsem s telesno aktivnostjo in sprostitvenimi tehnikami, lahko doživljajo manj simptomov izgorelosti.
Sklepi in predlogi raziskave izpostavljajo potrebo po izboljšanju delovnih pogojev in
zagotavljanju večje organizacijske podpore za zmanjšanje pojavnosti izgorelosti.The thesis analyzes the phenomenon of burnout among social workers. I explored how burnout is defined and manifested in the work environment and its impact on individuals. Special emphasis is placed on identifying the factors contributing to burnout and strategies for managing it. The motivation behind this research is the increasing reports of burnout among social workers at Centers for Social Work, as evidenced by high staff turnover and a shortage of personnel.
Relevant literature and existing research on the topic are reviewed, covering themes such as stress, burnout, burnout in helping professions, self-care, and organizational self-care. The goal of the thesis is to emphasize the importance of raising awareness of this issue and the potential for systemic recognition of burnout as an occupational disease. Collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities (MDDSZ) and Centers for Social
Work enables access to the entire population and the possibility of proposing concrete policies and practices, based on the research findings, to reduce workplace stress. This is crucial for positive outcomes for employees, the organization as a whole, and service users at Centers for Social Work.
The research is quantitative and descriptive, consisting of 5 hypotheses. Data was collected via an anonymous survey questionnaire created in the 1ka program, which Dr. Sonja Robnik from the Safety and Health Sector at MDDSZ sent to all directors of Centers for Social Work across Slovenia. The questionnaire contains 29 closed-ended questions and was active from March 11, 2024, to April 23, 2024. A total of 541 units were surveyed, of which 319 were valid. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using the 1ka program and Excel.
The key findings of the research are as follows: burnout is a common phenomenon among social workers, with primary risk factors associated with high workloads and a lack of organizational support. Social workers who actively engage in self-care, particularly through physical activity and relaxation techniques, can experience fewer symptoms of burnout.
The research conclusions and recommendations emphasize the need for improved working conditions and greater organizational support to reduce the incidence of burnout
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Commemorative events at destination memorials – a dark (heritage) tourism context
No full text© 2017 Darko Dimitrovski, Vladimir Senić, Dražen Marić and Veljko Marinković. Published with license by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. In the past, sites and events related to war and atrocities were viewed in the wider context of heritage tourism. The term ‘dark’ was added with the aim of recognising heritage sites closely related to death and suffering. Given that commemorative events as part of dark heritage are not prevalent in heritage and tourism literature, there is a need to understand the behaviour of visitors involved in visiting these sites or attending this type of event, which presents a special challenge. Public commemorations, especially those that mark particularly disturbing occurrences, such as ‘The Great School Hour’–an event which is presented in the artistic form of a ‘school class’–are unique form of tourist activity that has not been thoroughly investigated previously. Thus, the aim of the study is to explore the influence of the main motivators on revisit intention and willingness to recommend for those who attended the commemorative event ‘The Great School Hour’ in Kragujevac, Serbia, with a particular focus on younger people. The results suggest that learning, emotional response and uniqueness have a significant positive effect on revisit intention, while emotional response and uniqueness have a significant positive effect on willingness to recommend
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
GPS spoofing based time stamp attack on real time wide area monitoring in smart grid
No full textMany operations in power grids, such as fault detection and event location estimation, depend on precise timing information. In this paper, a novel time stamp attack (TSA)is identified in smart grid. Since many applications in smart grid utilize synchronous measurements and most of the measurement devices are equipped with global positioning system (GPS) for precise timing, it is highly probable to attack the measurement system by spoofing the GPS. The effectiveness of TSA is demonstrated by time synchronized transmission line fault detection, as well as regional disturbing event location. To defend against TSA, we proposed a multi-antenna based quickest GPS spoofing detection algorithm. By exploiting the theory of quickest detection, we apply the probabilistic metric of the carrier signal to noise ratio from two receive antennas to conduct the quickest GPS spoofing detection. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed defense scheme can effectively detect and prevent GPS spoofing attack.Shuping Gong, Zhenghao Zhang, Matthew Trinkle, Aleksandar D.
