    Diplomska naloga Mere podobnosti nizov proučuje problem primerjanja nizov, kjer nas zanimajo ujemanja, ki dovoljujejo tudi napake. Takšnemu problemu pravimo tudi problem približnega ujemanja nizov in njegov bistveni del je definicija modela napak ter s tem izbira mere podobnosti oz. različnosti. V nalogi na začetku izvedemo splošen pregled mer, potem pa se v nadaljevanju osredotočimo na skupino mer, ki temelji na operacijah urejanja nizov. Definicija razdalje med nizoma je tako določena s stroškom operacij, ki prvi niz najbolj optimalno preuredi v drugega. V tem sklopu nato opišemo nekaj algoritmov na osnovi metode dinamičnega programiranja ter dodamo še par njihovih nadgradenj. S pomočjo primera nazorno prikažemo njihovo izvajanje ter z analizo predstavimo tudi njihove računske zahtevnosti.The thesis String similarity measures examines string matching problem, where we are interested in matchings allowing errors. Such problem is also called approximate string matching problem, and its essential part is the definition of error model and by this the type of a similarity or dissimilarity measure. In the beginning of the thesis we present a general overview of measures, then we further focus on the group of measures based on the edit operations on strings. The definition of such distance between strings is established with the cost of operations that are needed for an optimal transformation from one string to another. Further on, we describe a few algorithms based on dynamic programming, and then we add a couple of upgraded versions. With a help of an example we try to demonstrate their performance and analyse their computational complexity

    Skrb za zadovoljstvo, počutje in zdravje zaposlenih je pomembno za vsako organizacijo, ker je delo v zdravstveni negi stresno, pa je ta skrb tukaj še toliko bolj potrebna. Prav tako so znane povezave med vlogo vodje, dobrim počutjem, usposabljanjem in pripadnostjo za razumevanje uspešnosti organizacij. Kljub številnim pristopom k merjenju dobrega počutja so se raziskovalci poenotili glede treh glavnih pristopov (psihološkega, fizičnega in socialnega) merjenja počutja. Znano je tudi, da značilnosti delovnega življenja vplivajo na več različnih vidikov dobrega počutja zaposlenih, na primer na povečanje smisla za spodbujanje pozitivnih čustev, morale in motivacije, zadovoljstvo z delom in celotno zadovoljstvo z življenjem. Vodenje je eden izmed pomembnih dejavnikov delovnega življenja, ki vpliva na počutje zaposlenih prek zadovoljstva z njihovimi delovnimi mesti in zadovoljstva z življenjem. Prav tako na dobro počutje zaposlenih poleg vodenja vplivajo tudi drugi situacijski dejavniki, ki izhajajo iz delovnega okolja, na primer razpoložljiva sredstva, vedenje sodelavcev, urejenost delovnega okolja itd. Z raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti stopnjo počutja zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi in dejavnike vodenja, s katerimi se povezuje počutje zaposlenih. V raziskavi smo uporabili kvantitativno in kvalitativno metodologijo raziskovanja. V raziskavo so bili vključeni zaposleni v zdravstveni negi iz osmih bolnišnic, ki imajo med organizacijskimi enotami oziroma oddelki interni/-e in kirurški/-e oddelek/-ke. V okviru kvantitativne metodologije smo za ugotavljanje korelacije med posameznimi proučevanimi spremenljivkami uporabili Spearmanov koeficient korelacije, ki nam pokaže moč povezave med primerjanimi spremenljivkami. Uporabili smo tudi Mann-Whitneyjev neparametrični test za ugotavljanje razlik v aritmetičnih sredinah za dva neodvisna vzorca med povprečnimi vrednostmi proučevanih spremenljivk posameznih (skupin) udeležencev (vodij in ostalih zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi) raziskave. Za obdelavo podatkov smo uporabili računalniški program SPSS, 20.0. Kot metodo zbiranja podatkov smo v okviru kvalitativne metodologije uporabili strukturiran intervju. Pri zbiranju, urejanju in analizi empiričnega gradiva smo upoštevali smernice, ki veljajo za metodo utemeljene teorije. V raziskavi smo ugotovili, da so počutje, zadovoljstvo ter pripadnost vodij in ostalih zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi na srednji ravni. Glede na proučevane spremenljivke smo ugotovili le statistično pomembno razliko v stopnji zadovoljstva z delom. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da se transformacijsko vodenje, značilnosti vodij in vodstvene kompetence vodij statistično pomembno povezujejo s počutjem zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi. Ugotovili smo tudi, da je približno polovica zaposlenih nezadovoljna z življenjem in delom, nepripadna ter ocenjuje svoje psihološko in subjektivno počutje kot slabo. Med vodji v zdravstveni negi je opaziti nekoliko manj nezadovoljnih, nepripadnih, prav tako jih več svoje psihološko in subjektivno počutje ocenjuje kot dobro. Znano je, da so zaposleni, ki se na delovnem mestu dobro počutijo, učinkovitejši in uspešnejši pri doseganju rezultatov. Uspešen vodja je tisti, ki zna poskrbeti za dobro počutje svojih sodelavcev, saj bo le tako lahko dosegel zastavljene cilje in omogočil organizaciji, da bo boljša od konkurence. Tudi vodje v zdravstveni negi potrebujejo znanja s področja vodenja, saj usmerjajo delovanje in vedenje organizacije kot celote ter skrbijo za doseganje njenih rezultatov. Vodje so tisti, ki imajo pomemben vpliv na zadovoljstvo, pripadnost in počutje zaposlenih ter posledično tudi na zadovoljstvo uporabnikov storitev (bolnikov) in kakovost izvajanja le-teh.Taking care of employees\u27 satisfaction, their well-being, and health is important for every organization. Considering the stressful work in nursing, this care is even more needed in hospitals. It is also known that for the understanding of an organization’s performance, links among the role of a leader, well-being, training, and commitment are also important. Despite numerous approaches for measuring well-being, researchers have agreed on the three main approaches (psychological, physiological, and social) to measure well-being. It is also known, that the characteristics of a work life affect various different perspectives of employees\u27 well-being. These are, for example, improving the sense of encouraging positive feelings, morality, and motivation. They also affect job satisfaction and general life satisfaction. Besides the leadership, other situational factors coming from the work environment, for example available assets, co-workers\u27 behavior, tidiness of the work environment etc., also affect employees\u27 well-being. We want to find out the level of well-being of employees in nursing, and which leadership factors are linked with employees\u27 well-being. In the research, quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Employees in nursing from eight Slovenian hospitals participated in the research. The hospitals had departments of internal medicine and surgery. Within the quantitative method, a Spearman\u27s rank correlation coefficient was used to establish the correlation among the studied variables. The coefficient shows the correlation strength among the compared variables. For two independent patterns, a Mann-Whitney U-test was used to establish the differences in the arithmetic means among average values of the studied variables of individual (groups) research participants (leaders and other employees in nursing). For the data processing, a computer software SPSS, 20.0 was used. Within the qualitative method, a structured interview was used as a method for collecting data. Guidelines for the method of grounded theory were followed in the processes of collecting, classifying, and analyzing empirical material. It was found in the research that well-being, satisfaction, and commitment of leaders and other employees in nursing is at medium level. Considering the studied variables, only a statistically significant difference in the level of job satisfaction was established. It was also established that transformational leadership, leaders\u27 characteristics, and their leadership competences are statistically significantly correlated with well-being of employees in nursing. Also, about a half of employees in nursing are not satisfied with their life, with their job, are not committed, and evaluated their psychological and subjective well-being as poor. Among the nursing leaders, there are slightly less unsatisfied and uncommitted. Many of them evaluated their psychological and subjective well-being as good. It is known that the employees who feel comfortable at their workplace are more efficient and successful in achieving the results. Successful leaders know how to take care of their employees\u27 well-being. Only this way they will achieve their goals, and enable the organization to have better performance from the competition. Nursing leaders must also have the knowledge about the leadership since they direct the operation and behavior of the organization. Under their direction, the organization must also achieve the desired results. The leaders have an important effect on satisfaction, commitment, and well-being of employees. Consequently, they affect satisfaction of patients (service users), and the quality of service as well

    Poetics of Marija Kmet\u27s short prose

    Marija Kmet je veliko večino svojih del napisala v obdobju moderne. To je bilo obdobje slogovnega pluralizma, tako v njenih delih najdemo največ impresionističnih prvin, nekoliko manj realističnih in ekspresionističnih značilnosti, pa tudi zametke dekadence in simbolizma. To slogovno pluralustično obdobje moderne je razvilo dva tipa črtic. Še vedno je bil pogost realistični tip črtice, ki je pod vplivom duha časa in evropske smeri moderne vedno bolj izginjal, na njegovo mesto pa je vstopil nov, lirski model črtice, ki je ob koncu devetnajstega in v začetku dvajsetega stoletja postal prevladujoč. Ob lirski črtici je postajala vedno pogostejša tudi pesem v prozi. Tudi pri nas se je vedno pogosteje uveljavljala, poleg Kmetove so jo pisali še Ivan Cankar, Zofka Kvedrova, Fran Ksaver Meško, Milan Pugelj in drugi. Kmetova je pisala novele, lirske črtice in pesmi v prozi. V novelah je največkrat pisala v realističnem slogu in je najpogosteje govorila o družbenokritičnih in socialnih temah. V lirskih črticah in pesmih v prozi pa je največkrat izpovedovala svoja notranja doživetja, najpogosteje v impresionističnem slogu. Njeno ustvarjanje je tematsko in stilno izjemno raznoliko.Marija Kmet wrote most of her works during the Modernism. That was a period of pluralistic style. That is why we can find mostly impressionistic elements in her work and somewhat less realistic and expressionistic characteristics. There are also some marks of decadence and symbolism. This stylistic period developed two types of novelettes. The prevailing one was still the realistic novelette, which was, under the spirit of time and European direction of Modernism, more and more disappearing. The position was taken over by the lyric novelette model, which became prevailing by the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century. Next to lyric novelette there was more prose poetry. It was getting used more often in our country as well. Apart from Marija Kmet, it was written by Ivan Cankar, Zofka Kvedrova, Fran Ksaver Meško, Milan Pugelj and others. Marija Kmet wrote short stories, lyric novelettes and prose poetry. Her short stories were usually written in a realistic style. She was mostly referring to society-critical and social topics. Lyric novelettes and prose poetry were expressing her inner experiences, often in an impressionistic style. Her literary creation was thematically and stylistically extremely diverse

    Demand-Avoid-Withdraw Processes in Adolescent Dating Aggression (preprint)

    No full text
    We conducted an observational study of a collection of interactive processes known as “demand-withdraw” in relation to adolescent dating aggression. Couples (N = 209) aged 14 to 18 years participated in a challenging observational laboratory assessment to measure demands (i.e., pressures for change), as well as demand→partner withdraw and demand→partner avoid sequences. Actor and partner effects were disentangled via dyadic data analyses. The results indicated a fairly consistent pattern in which demand→withdraw and demand→avoid sequences led by either partner were positively associated with both partners’ physical and psychological aggression (measured via a dual informant questionnaire method). Further, higher-quality demands (i.e., pressures for change that were specific and encouraged both members of the dyad to increase a given behavior) were inversely associated with aggression. Yet, all of the above associations were attenuated to the point of statistical nonsignificance after controlling for hostility. These results suggest two primary possibilities. The associations of demand→withdraw and demand→avoid sequences with dating aggression may be spurious, with the sequences merely markers for hostility, a known correlate of dating aggression. Alternatively, hostility may mediate the relations of demand→withdraw and demand→avoid sequences with dating aggression. Further research is required to test these competing explanations. Implications for preventive intervention are discussed. Lorber, M. F., Mitnick, D. M., Tiberio, S. S., Heyman, R. E., Slep, A. M. S., Trindade, S., Damewood, G. N., &amp; Bruzzese, J. M. (in press).
