Approach to a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
Get PDFUvod: Značilnost sindroma Wolff-Parkinson-White so dodatne poti v srcu pacientov, ki vodijo impulze od atrija do prekata. Najpogostejši posledici sta hiter in nereden pulz, ki se pogosteje pojavljata v obliki napadov. Namen zaključnega dela je raziskati sindrom Wolff-Parkinson-White, kakšne so naloge medicinske sestre pri obravnavi pacientov s sindromom Wolff-Parkinson-White, s kakšnimi težavami se pacient s sindromom Wolff-Parkinson-White sooča, kako se nanje odziva ter kakšna je njegova kakovost življenja pri opravljanju telesne dejavnosti.
Metode: V teoretičnem delu je bila uporabljena deskriptivna metoda dela, v empiričnem delu kvalitativna metodologija, kjer smo izvedli študijo primera pacienta s sindromom Wolff-Parkinson-White s pomočjo delno strukturiranega intervjuja.
Rezultati: Najpogostejše težave pacienta, so hiter in nereden srčni utrip, nemoč za nadaljevanje telesne aktivnosti, težje dihanje ob večjem naporu ter utrujenost po napadu simptomatike. Težave se zmanjšajo ob prenehanju aktivnosti, ali ob izvajanju dihalnih vaj za sproščanje. Kakovost življenja pri izvajanju telesne aktivnost je pri pacientu s sindromom Wolff-Parkinson-White na dokaj nizki ravni in je še nižja, kadar pacient ne upošteva navodil, ki mu jih je predpisal kardiolog.
Razprava in sklep: Sindrom Wolff-Parkinson-White je dokaj nepoznan sindrom. Težave, ki se pri njem pojavljajo, znižujejo kakovost življenja pacientov in puščajo negativne posledice. Še posebej se to kaže pri pacientih, ki se aktivno ukvarjajo s tekmovalnim športom. Ključne naloge medicinskih sester pri obravnavi pacientov so usmerjene v preventivno zdravstveno vzgojo ter obravnavo pred in po radio-frekvenčni katetrski ablaciji.Introduction: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is characterized by additional pathways in the heart of patients that conduct impulses from the atrium to the ventricle. The most common consequences are quick and irregular pulse, which frequently occur in the form of attacks. The purpose of the final work is to investigate Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, what are the duties of a nurse in treating patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, what problems does a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome face, how does he react to them and what is his quality of life in performing physical activity.
Methods: In the theoretical part, a descriptive method of work was used, in the empirical part, a qualitative methodology, where we conducted a case study of a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome using a partially structured interview.
Results: The most common problems of the patient are a fast and irregular heartbeat, inability to continue physical activity, difficulty breathing with greater effort and fatigue after an attack of symptoms. Problems are reduced upon termination of activities or the carrying out breathing exercises for relaxation. The quality of life in performing physical activity in a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is at a fairly low level and is even lower when the patient does not follow the instructions prescribed by the cardiologist.
Discussion and conclusion: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a fairly unknown syndrome. The problems that occur with it reduce the quality of life of patients and leave negative consequences. This is especially evident in patients who are actively involved in competitive sports. The key tasks of nurses in the treatment of patients are focused on preventive health education and treatment before and after radiofrequency catheter ablation
Factors of Growth of Fast Growing Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Slovenia
Get PDFMala in srednje velika podjetja (MSP) so temeljni del slovenskega gospodarstva, saj predstavljajo več kot 99 % vseh podjetij ter ustvarjajo skoraj 70 % delovnih mest in skoraj 68 % vrednosti prihodkov vseh podjetij (po podatkih iz leta 2013). Zaradi svoje sposobnosti prilagajanja na spreminjajoče se poslovno okolje so ključnega pomena za rast slovenskega gospodarstva in zagotavljajo trdno podlago za rast novih ter krepitev že obstoječih panog. V skupini več kot 182.089 MSP je opazna množica hitro rastočih, dinamičnih podjetij. Odkar se je pričela svetovna kriza v letu 2008, so skoraj vsa nova delovna mesta in gospodarsko rast ustvarila MSP. Medtem ko velika podjetja in ostalo gospodarstvo okreva, pa hitro rastoča podjetja dosegajo izjemne stopnje rasti, visoko donosnost in hitro rast števila zaposlenih.
V empirični raziskavi smo po vzoru podobnih raziskav tujih avtorjev proučevali vpliv specifičnih dejavnikov (značilnosti premoženjsko-finančnega položaja, poslovne učinkovitosti, denarne uspešnosti poslovanja, velikosti in starosti) na rast prihodkov od prodaje in števila zaposlenih v hitro rastočih MSP v Sloveniji. Študija obsega panelne podatke iz obdobja 2009–2013 za vzorec 200 podjetij, pridobljen iz izbora Slovenska gazela 2014. Z multiplo regresijsko analizo smo ugotovili, da na rast prihodkov od prodaje pozitivno vpliva večja delovna produktivnost, negativno pa vplivajo velikost, starost in enostavni denarni tok. Na rast števila zaposlenih pa prav tako pozitivno vplivata večja delovna produktivnost in večji enostavni denarni tok, negativno pa velikost, starost in statična likvidnost.
Rast MSP je pomemben pokazatelj uspešnega gospodarstva, vendar še vedno prezrt s strani oblikovalcev politike. Več je treba storiti za dvig ozaveščenosti o pomembnosti teh podjetij in ustvariti poslovno okolje, ki bo ugodno za njihov razvoj in rast.Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are a fundamental part of the slovenian economy, comprising over 99 % of total establishments and contributing to almost 70 % of employment as well as over 68 % of income (data of 2013). With their capacity to adapt in an ever-changing business environment, SMEs are vital for the growth of the Slovenian economy. They have potential to contribute substantially to the economy and can provide a strong foundation for the growth of new industries as well as strengthening existing ones. Within this group of more than 182.089 SMEs there is a notable subset of fast-growing, dynamic businesses. Since global crisis started in 2008, they have almost exclusively generated new, net job creation and growth of BDP. While large companies and other economy is recovering, they are growing rapidly, showing high profitability and increased number of employees.
In the empirical study we examined the impact of firm specific variables on the growth in sales revenue and employees of fast growing SMEs in Slovenia. The study utilizes panel data of a sample of 200 firms observed from 2009 to 2013 in Slovenia using regression analysis. The determinants of growth were selected as identified by previous studies, and were size (measured by operating revenue and numbers of employee), age, indebtedness, internal financing, factor productivity. Our findings of panel regressions show that labor productivity has positive, and size, age and net cash flow have negative influence on growth of operating revenue, which mean, that larger and older companies grow slower. Positive influence on growth of employees have again labor productivity and this time also net cash flow. On the contrary, negative influence have size, age and current liquidity.
Growth of SMEs is an important indicator of a thriving economy, but still it is often overlooked by policy makers. More needs to be done to raise awareness of the importance of these businesses and to create a business environment that will be beneficial for SMEs development
PROCESS LIKE AND INSTITUTIONAL PARTICULARITIES OF DEVELOPMENTAL PLANNING IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
Get PDFOrganizacije dandanes še vedno posvečajo premalo pozornosti planiranju svojega razvoja. Večina njih planira razvoj novega izdelka ali novega oddelka a planiranje razvoja še vedno ostaja zapostavljeno. Še posebej zanemarjajo planiranje razvoja zavodi, ki so ustanovljeni s strani države in njihov cilj ni ustvarjanje dobička. Ti dve dejstvi jim dajeta finančno udobje, kar vodje izkoristijo v svoj prid in se udobno namestijo na svoje položaje. Ne namenjajo pozornosti razvoju in tako večina zavodov skozi mnogo let stagnira na ustanovitveni ravni. S tem škodujejo sebi in družbi.
V današnjih turbolentnih časih in strogo kapitalistični družbi, neaktivne organizacije ne preživijo. Uspejo samo dinamične organizacije, medtem ko neaktivne organizacije propadajo. Potrebno je aktivno poslovanje in razvojno planiranje vseh organizacij, prav tako tudi zavodov.
V teoretičnem delu naloge smo raziskovali vse vidike razvojnega planiranja. Primerjali smo različne modele strateškega in integralnega managamenta in ugotavljali primernost le teh za planiranje razvoja zavodov. Prav tako smo proučevali obliko organizacije javni zavod, ki je predmet naše raziskave.
V praktičnem delu smo planirali razvoj javnega zavoda Skupnost zdravstvenih zavodov Murska Sobota (v nadaljevanju SZZ MS) in sicer na ravni politike podjetja in na ravni strateškega managementa.
Za raziskavo planiranja razvoja zavoda smo med proučevanimi modeli izbrali MER-ov model integralnega managementa. Ugotovili smo, da gre za model, ki je primerno kompleksen ter za uporabo zelo praktičen in med ostalimi modeli tudi najprimernejši model za planiranje razvoja v javnih zavodih.
S pomočjo MER-ovega modela smo v magistrski nalogi planirali razvoj zavoda na ravni politike podjetja in sicer za 5 letno plansko obdobje. V okviru politike podjetja smo razvojno planirali vizijo, poslanstvo, smotre in temeljne cilje zavoda. Prav tako smo za plansko obdobje petih let v okviru MER-ovega modela planirali razvojne strategije te strategije ovrednotili ter na koncu izdelali program razvoja zavoda SZZ MS.Organizations today are giving to little atention on planning their developement. Most of them are planning a developement of a new product or a new department but a developement of the whole organization is stil neglected. The majority in organizations, which do not plan their developement are public institutions, which are created by the government and which goal is not making profit. Those two facts are giving them financial comfort whic are abusing the managers. The managers are not paying attention in planning a better future of an organization and so most of the public institutions stays the same as they were when created. With those facts they are harming themselves and the whole suciety.
In todays rapidly changing environment and capitalistic society, unactive organizations do not survive. An active bussines atitude and developement planning is neaded in all organizatons aspecialy in public institutions.
The theoretical part of this thesis focuses on all the aspects of developement planning. We compare different models of strategic and integral management and examened which of those models in most suitable for developement planning in our case. We also examened diferent forms of organizations, aspecialy public institution, which is an object of our reaserch.
In the applied part of the thesis we planned the developement of public institution Skupnost zdravstvenih zavodov Murska Sobota on the basis of public institution policy and strategic management.
During the examinetion of strategic and integral management models we chose to use MER model of integral management. This model have the perfect complexity and it is very practical to use for developement planning. It is also most suitable for developement planning in public institutions.
With the help of MER model, we conducted a developement planning on basis of organizations policy for a future five years. On institutions policy level, we planned all the aspects of the policy with a vision incorporated into it. With this model we also planned developement strategies, evaluated them and planned a developement program for SZZ MS
FAMILY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH DEVELOPMENT MODEL
Get PDFPodjetja, ki želijo uspešno in dolgotrajno obstati na trgu, so primorana k obravnavi njihovega dolgoročnega razvoja. Magistrsko delo se ukvarja s vprašanjem razvoja malih in srednje velikih družinskih podjetij. Razvoj tovrstnih podjetij usmerja družina sama, zato sta razvoj družine ter razvoj podjetja tesno povezana. Medtem, ko se omenjena sistema dopolnjujeta, pa lahko obenem postavljata tudi prevelike zahteve eden drugemu.
Magistrsko delo sestoji iz teoretičnega in iz aplikativnega dela.
V teoretičnem delu smo kot osnovo za nadaljnje proučevanje navedli znane definicije družinskega podjetja ter značilnosti, slabosti in prednosti tovrstnih podjetij. Obenem smo opredelili še pomen družinskega podjetja za gospodarstvo, tako na svetovni kot evropski ravni. Sledila je proučitev slovenskega modela (Duh, 2003) ter tujih modelov (Gimeno et al., 2010) razvoja družinskega podjetja. Na koncu teoretičnega dela smo izmed proučevanih modelov izbrali še najustreznejšega za apliciranje na izbrano družinsko podjetje iz prakse.
V empiričnem delu smo predstavili izbrano družinsko podjetje Krim d.o.o. ter ga opredelili kot družinskega. Izpostavili smo ključne razvojne spremembe v podjetju ter njihov vpliv na samo podjetje. Sledila je proučitev razvojnega stanja družinskega podjetja po slovenskem modelu (Duh, 2003) znotraj česa smo podrobno pogledali razvoj družine, lastništva ter managementa. Na koncu smo podali predlog ukrepov za nadaljnji razvoj izbranega družinskega podjetja.Companies that are focused on long term success and desire to stay present on the market are forced to deal with their long term development. This master thesis is focusing on questions regarding development of small and medium sized family businesses. Development of family companies is directed by the leading family, therefore development of the family and of the business is very connected. Although this two systems complement each other is also possible that, at the same time, they demand too much from each other.
This master thesis has a theoretical and an empirical part.
In the theoretical part we stated the known definitions of family business and the characteristics, disadvantages and advantages of family businesses. At the same time we defined the importance of family businesses for the economy on the global as well as on the European level. Next we analyzed the Slovenian model (Duh, 2003) and foreign models (Gimeno et al. 2010) of family business development. At the end we chose the most appropriate model for application on the chosen family business.
In the empirical part we presented the family business Krim d.o.o. and defined it as a family business. We stated the major development changes in the company and their influence on the business. After that we analyzed the stage of development using characteristics of the Slovenian model (Duh, 2003) focusing separately on development of the family, ownership and management. To conclude we made suggestions on further development of the chosen family business
MISSION AND VISION OF ACCOUNTING FIRM
Get PDFTema mojega diplomskega seminarja je poslanstvo in vizija računovodskega servisa. Glede na to, da je dejavnost računovodskih servisov mlada dejavnost me je zanimalo nekaj splošnih informacij o panogi računovodskih servisov pri nas. Predstavila sem zgodovino le teh v Sloveniji, možne načine organiziranosti znotraj podjetja ali kot outsourcing.
Proučila sem vlogo upoštevanja Kodeksa poklicne etike računovodij in vpliv uporabe le tega na zaupanje naročnikov in splošne javnosti. Glede na to, da pri nas niso posebej določeni pogoji, kdo sme delati kot računovodja v računovodskem servisu sem opredelila, na kaj mora biti pozoren naročnik pri izbiri računovodskega servisa in tudi, kako naj kakovosten računovodski servis izbira odjemalca svojih storitev.
Žal se v Sloveniji premalo pozornosti posveča preverjanju kakovosti računovodskih servisov in postavljanju omejitev za njihovo ustanavljanje. V tem času, ko je ključnega pomena za preživetje podjetij dobro načrtovanje na podlagi resničnih računovodskih analiz menim, da je nujno uvesti poostrene kontrole na tem področju.
Nato sem opredelila, kaj sploh pomenita opredeljena poslanstvo in vizija za podjetje na splošno in kaj za računovodski servis. Posebno pozornost sem v praktičnem delu posvetila temu ali obstaja kakšna povezava pri postavljanju jasnega poslanstva in vizije med računovodskimi servisi in njihovimi odjemalci, naročniki računovodskih storitev. Izbrala sem si računovodske servise, ki imajo opredeljeno vizijo in poslanstvo ter jih medsebojno primerjala, preverila ali je viden jasen vpliv na njihove odjemalce.The topic of my thesis is the mission and vision of the accounting firm. As the financial services activity is quite new, I decided to gather some of the general information about the financial services industry in our country. I present the history of these in Slovenia, and the possible ways of organisation within the company or in outsourcing.
I have examined the role of adherence to the Code of Professional Ethics of Accountants, and the impact it has on clients and general public trust. Because there are no specifically provided conditions for who can work as an accountant in the accounting firm, I have identified what a client must be careful about when selecting a quality accounting firm and how an accounting firm should chose their clients.
Unfortunately, in Slovenia there is not enough time and attention designated for checking the quality of accounting services, or limitations on establishing new ones. In today\u27s world a solid business plan with good financial analysis is the key to survival and therefore i believe that it is necessary to introduce regulation in this area.
Furthermore I have identified what exactly is a mission and vision for the company in general and specifically for the accounting firm. I devoted special attention in practical work, while examining if there is any connection in setting a clear mission and vision between the accounting firms and their clients. I have chosen the accounting firms that have a defined vision and mission and compared how it affects their costumers to other firms that don\u27t
Directing of family business\u27s development based on the assessed developmental stage
Get PDFDružinska podjetja pogosto opredeljujemo kot posebno vrsto podjetij. Toda kaj je družinsko podjetje? To je vprašanje, na katerega še vedno ne moremo podati jasnega odgovora, predvsem zaradi odsotnosti univerzalne definicije družinskega podjetja. Večina raziskovalcev se strinja, da je vključitev družine v podjetje tista značilnost, po kateri se ta podjetja razlikujejo od drugih. Udeležba družine se ponavadi nanaša na udeležbo članov družine v lastništvu in managementu, s tem pa družina pomembno vpliva na številne razsežnosti razvoja ter delovanja podjetja (Duh 2008,108).
Družinska podjetja tvorijo pomemben del gospodarske združbe v državah EU in nekaterih drugih državah. Tako so tudi pomemben dejavnik krepitve uspešnosti, konkurenčnosti in dinamičnosti nacionalnih gospodarstev pa tudi gospodarstva EU. Številne raziskave, izvedene predvsem v državah s tradicijo privatnega lastništva in družinskega podjetništva, kažejo, da imajo družinska podjetja številne razvojne posebnosti in da je temu ustrezno potrebno oblikovati tudi podporo njihovim razvojnim prizadevanjem, in sicer podporo v obliki svetovalnih storitev, izobraževanja, oblik financiranja, ukrepov ekonomske politike in drugih oblik podpornega okolja (Duh 2008,102).
Edina stalnica današnjega časa so spremembe. Zato se mora podjetje zavedati, kakšne so njegove značilnosti oz. v kateri fazi življenjskega cikla se trenutno nahaja, ter na podlagi informacij in ugotovitev o obstoječem stanju tudi ustrezno ukrepati (Lester, Parnell 2008, Lester et al. 2008/2009 v Štrukelj 2010, 81). Ta problem je enako pereč v podjetjih vseh velikosti, ne glede na njihovo lastniško strukturo (Chawla et al. 2007 v Štrukelj 2010, 81).
Magistrsko delo je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. Najprej bomo opredelili teoretična spoznanja o modelih razvoja družinskega podjetja in življenjski cikel podjetja. Pri življenjskem ciklu podjetja bomo opisali ključne značilnosti življenjskega cikla podjetja in življenjski cikel družine in družinskega podjetja. Pri modelih razvoja družinskega podjetja bomo opisali nekatera pomembnejša spoznanja o modelih razvoja podjetja, tuje modele razvoja družinskega podjetja in model razvoja družinskega podjetja razvit v Sloveniji. Pri modelih razvoja podjetja po Pümpinu in Prangeju (1995) pa bomo opisali ključne značilnosti pionirskega podjetja, ključne značilnosti rastočega podjetja, ključne značilnosti zrelega podjetja in ključne značilnosti podjetja v preobratu.
V nadaljevanju bomo na praktičnem primeru podjetja Kranjc d.o.o. opredelili razvojno stanje družinskega podjetja. Predstavili bomo temeljne podatke o podjetju in družini podjetja Kranjc d.o.o., kjer bomo zajeli nastanek podjetja, ključne spremembe v razvoju in rasti podjetja, podjetje danes ter temeljne podatke o družini. Analizirali bomo ustanovitelja, ustanoviteljevo hčerko in hčerkinega partnerja.
Pridobljeno znanje in mišljenje bomo na koncu magistrskega dela strnili v sklepnih ugotovitvah.A family business is often defined as a special type of company. Indeed, what is a family business? This question still remains to be answered in a straightforward way, especially due to the lack of an universally accepted definition of a family business. Most researchers agree that the involvement of family members in a company is the crucial feature that distinguishes family businesses from other companies. This involvement usually refers to the participation of family members in the company\u27s ownership and management, through which the family has a major influence on its various development and operational activities (Duh 2008, p. 108).
Family businesses are an important part of economy in EU countries and in some other countries. Thus they represent an important factor of enhancing success, competitiveness and dynamism of national economies as well as the EU economy. Many studies, most of them carried out in countries with a long tradition of private ownership and family businesses, have shown that family businesses have numerous peculiarities in their development and that it is necessary to shape the support measures for their development efforts accordingly. The support measures include consultancy services, education, various forms of financing, economic policy and other types of supportive environment (Duh 2008, p. 102).
Change is today\u27s only constant. That is the reason why companies should be aware of their characteristics and of the current phase of their life cycle and act according to information and findings of the current situation (Lester, Parnell 2008, Lester et al. 2008/2009 in Štrukelj 2010, p. 81). This problem is equally pressing in companies of any size irrespective of their ownership structure (Chawla et al. 2007 in Štrukelj 2010, p. 81).
This master\u27s thesis consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. First we will present theoretical notions about development models of family businesses and company life cycle. The presentation of company life cycle will include key characteristics of a company life cycle, a family life cycle and a family business life cycle. The presentation of development models of family businesses will include some important findings regarding company development models in general, foreign company development models of family businesses and a development model of a family business that was developed in Slovenia. The presentation of company development models according to Pümpin and Prange (1995) will include the key characteristics of a startup company, key characteristics of a growing company, key characteristics of a mature company and key characteristics of a changing company.
We will then present the developmental stage of a family business using the practical example of the company Kranjc d.o.o. We will present basic information about the company and the family, which will include the creation of the company, crucial changes in its development and growth, the company today and basic information about family members, namely the founder, his daughter and his daughter\u27s life partner.
We will sum up the knowledge and views thus gained in the conclusion of the thesis
The EU Strategy for the Danube Region: What Potential Contribution to Regional Stability and Co-operation? Bruges Regional Integration & Global Governance Paper 4/2011, September 2011
Get PDFThe European Union Strategy for the Danube Region is a recent initiative that aims to enhance sub-regional co-operation through collaboration on a series of crossborder projects. In this paper, I present an analysis of the strategy’s preparation and consultation stages in order to assess the extent to which it incorporates an effective external dimension, capable of enhancing regional stability and cooperation. In order to identify a set of common indicators that are indicative of successful sub-regional policy, I begin my research with an analysis of three existing sub-regional frameworks: the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, the Northern Dimension and the Black Sea Economic Co-operation. On the basis of this analysis, I identify indicators of successful sub-regional policy as: equal partnership, joint ownership, diverse stakeholder involvement, adequate funding and
institutional capacity, strong level of commitment and common interests and objectives. When applied to the external dimension of the European Union Strategy
for the Danube Region, the indicators reveal several weaknesses that may serve to reduce the strategy’s overall effectiveness. By identifying areas for improvement,
this research aims to make a contribution to progressive sub-regional policy, while providing a comprehensive case study that may be subject to analysis within a broader theoretical framework
