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
Development of the system for determining the wear of the cutting tool with the camera
No full textV diplomskem delu obravnavamo zelo pomembno področje odrezovanja. Pri procesih odrezovanja prihaja do obrabe orodij. Za doseganje visoke kakovosti končnih izdelkov in znižanje stroškov izdelave je potrebno spremljati obrabo orodja. V diplomskem delu je kratek pregled vzrokov in posledic nastanka obrabe orodja. S spremljanjem obrabe orodja lahko dosegamo visoke kakovosti izdelkov. Za določevanje obrabe orodja s klasičnim določevanjem je potrebno izpeti ploščico, s tem pa izgubimo pozicijske tolerance in čas, ko obdelovalni stroj ne obratuje. Zato smo se odločili razviti prototipni sistem za sprotno določevanje obrabe rezalnega orodja s kamero na obdelovalnem stroju. Prototipni sistem deluje na podlagi strojnega vida, kamera zajema sliko, nato se s pomočjo programske opreme Labview izvede analiza slike. Ta nam poda vrednosti obrabe orodja. Sistem smo testirali v laboratoriju LABOD in razbrali, da so rezultati meritve sistema v primerjavi s klasičnim merjenjem podobne z pogreškom na tretjem decimalnem mestu ter ugotovili, da sistem zanesljivo deluje.In the thesis we consider a very important field of cutting. In cutting processes it comes to tool wear. To achieve high quality finished products and to reduce production costs, tool wear must be monitored. In the thesis is a brief overview of the causes and consequences of wearing tools. By detecting tool wear we can achieve high quality products. To determine the wear of the tool with classical determination, it is necessary to remove the tool, thus losing the position tolerances and the time when the machine does not operate. Therefore, we decided to develop a prototype system for real-time determination of the wear of the cutting tool with the camera on the machine. The prototype system works on the principle of machine vision, the camera captures the picture, then an image analysis is performed using Labview software. Image analysis gives us the tool wear values. The system was tested in the laboratory of LABOD and found that the measurements of the system by comparing classical measurement are the same with a smaller deviation so we have found that the system works reliably
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

Metabolic Syndrome, Cognitive Impairment and the Role of Diet: A Narrative Review
No full textBackground: This narrative review presents the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS), along with its components, and cognition-related disorders, as well as the potential reversal role of diet against cognitive impairment by modulating MetS. Methods: An electronic research in Medline (Pubmed) and Scopus was conducted. Results: MetS and cognitive decline share common cardiometabolic pathways as MetS components can trigger cognitive impairment. On the other side, the risk factors for both MetS and cognitive impairment can be reduced by optimizing the nutritional intake. Clinical manifestations such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and increased central body adiposity are nutrition-related risk factors present during the prodromal period before cognitive impairment. The Mediterranean dietary pattern stands among the most discussed predominantly plant-based diets in relation to cardiometabolic disorders that may prevent dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other cognition-related disorders. In addition, accumulating evidence suggests that the consumption of specific dietary food groups as a part of the overall diet can improve cognitive outcomes, maybe due to their involvement in cardiometabolic paths. Conclusions: Early MetS detection may be helpful to prevent or delay cognitive decline. Moreover, this review highlights the importance of healthy nutritional habits to reverse such conditions and the urgency of early lifestyle interventions
Estudio corológico de los taxones Maireana brevifolia y Neurada procumbens en la ZEC Dunas de Maspalomas aplicado a la gestión y control de especies exóticas invasoras
No full textEl campo de dunas de Maspalomas constituye un ecosistema singular en el contexto macaronésico, protegido bajo las figuras de Reserva Natural Especial y Zona Especial de Conservación (ZEC), pero sometido a una intensa presión turística y con una considerable presencia de especies introducidas. Este estudio consistió en analizar la distribución espacial de dos especies exóticas invasoras presentes en el espacio protegido: por una parte Neurada procumbens, considerado el taxón con mayor potencial invasor dentro de la ZEC; por otra, Maireana brevifolia, por tratarse del taxón identificado más recientemente en el ámbito y no encontrarse aún incluido en los inventarios de especies exóticas de los planes director y de
gestión que afectan al espacio. Se realizó una cartografía corológica utilizando la metodología propuesta
por Panareda (2000) para establecer el nivel de abundancia de las especies objeto de estudio. Los datos
se referenciaron en una retícula de 100 x 100 metros y fueron procesados en un Sistema de Información
Geográfica. Se analizó la evolución de la población de Neurada procumbens con respecto a la última
cartografía corológica disponible (2007) y la realizada en este trabajo. Además, se analizó, para ambas
especies, su distribución espacial según la zonificación establecida para la ZEC y los hábitats de interés
comunitario presentes. Los datos obtenidos permitieron actualizar la cartografía corológica para ambos
taxones en el año 2023 en la ZEC, la primera en el caso de la especie M. brevifolia. Para un total de 417
cuadrículas, se identificó a M. brevifolia en 40 de ellas (9,6%), y la distribución de N. procumbens se incrementó en 62 cuadrículas con respecto al último censo, habiéndose identificado en 149 cuadrículas
(35,7%). Los resultados aportan información sobre la distribución actual de ambos taxones, esencial para
la aplicación de medidas de gestión de especies invasoras en el espacio natural protegido.5050
Dietary patterns, caloric restrictions for management of cardiovascular disease and cancer; a brief review
No full textCardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancers are overall still identified as the two most prevalent non-communicable diseases globally. Their prevention and potential reversal (in particular CVD risk) was seen effective with the modification of dietary intake that was applied in several different populations. Although the findings from epidemiological studies provide support that adhering to dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet can reduce incidence and prevalence of CVD and some forms of cancer, the mechanistic aspects of disease modulation associated with both diseases can be seen in dietary management. Several studies have already explored the potential modes of action of certain nutrients in well controlled large clinical trials. However, the clinical trials designed to determine the effects of adhering to a particular diet are relatively hard to conduct and these studies are faced with several obstacles particularly in the populations that are identified with a high risk of CVD or different cancers. Therefore, it is important to understand potential underlying and shared mechanisms of action and to explore how healthy dietary patterns may modulate the occurrence, initiation, and progression of such diseases. The aim of this review is to summarise and conceptualize the current understanding relating to healthy dietary patterns, and briefly discuss the opportunities that epigenetic research may bring and how it may assist to further interpret epidemiological and clinical evidence
The implementation of the ballast water management convention in the Adriatic Sea through States' cooperation. The contribution of environmental law and institutions
No full textThe Adriatic Sea, a semi-enclosed and vulnerable environment, deserves special attention regarding the risk of introducing Harmful Aquatic Organisms and Pathogens via ships' ballast water as new species findings occur at an alarming rate. This species introduction vector was addressed with the 2004 International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, which entered into force in 2017. The efficient implementation of this convention calls for Adriatic States' cooperation on environmental specifics that have not been dealt with neither by national nor by international measures yet. Based on legal and institutional data gathered, and considering the regional maritime traffic and environmental specifics, this paper reveals that the integration of current environmental law commitments as well as a better dialogue between public institutions from shipping and environmental sectors may foster the implementation of ballast water management obligations through appropriate Adriatic States' cooperation
Flora y Vegetación de la Zona de Especial Conservación (ZEC) Sierra de Camarolos (Málaga, España).
No full textThe objective of this work is to catalogue the flora and plant communities and studying the successional dynamism of the vegetation and the landscape of the Special Conservation Zone (ZEC) Sierra de Camarolos (ES6170012) which is located in the province of Malaga (Andalusia, Spain) with an area of 8.691 Ha. The macrobioclimate is Mediterranean with mesomediterranean and supramediterranean thermotypes (vegetation belts) and subhumid-humid ombrotypes. Geologically, dominant rocks are limestone and dolomite, clays and gypsum, with karstic and wavy-steep relief and altitudes between 500 and 1640 m. The ZEC is placed in the Baetica phytogeographical province (Mediterranean Region) included in the Antequerano sector with differentiated areas: Antequerano subsector (clays-gypsum substrates) and Torcalense subsector (limestones and dolomites substrates). The floristic list consists of 879 taxa, emphasizing the presence of numerous threatened and / or legally protected species at the regional level such as Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. nevadensis, Narcissus assoanus, Festuca elegans, Amelanchier ovalis, Prunus insititia, P. mahaleb, Sorbus aria, Hieracium texedense, Scrophularia viciosoi, Quercus faginea subsp. alpestris, Sarcocapnos baetica and Saxifraga biternata. Other species of interest are new records at the phytogeographical and/ or provincial level. A total of 73 plant communities and associations have been catalogued, including syntaxonomic novelties as a new suballiance (Fumano hispidulae-Hippocrepidenion bourgaei subal. nova) and 5 new associations: rupicolous vegetation on dolomites (Hieracietum baetici-texedensis ass. nova), tall-herb nitrophilous vegetation on clay temporarily wet soils ((Eryngio aquifolii-Cynaretum baeticae ass. nova), basophyllous pastures (Thrincio hispidae-Poetum bulbosae ass. nova), gypsicolous shrublands (Hippocrepido bourgaei-Anthyllidetum cytisoidis ass. nova) and supra-mesomediterranean cushion shrublands (Festuco segimonensis-Erinaceetum anthyllidis ass. nova). Moreover, 3 new subassociations are proposed: thermophyllous graminoid perennial vegetation (Thymo gracilis-Stipetum tenacissimae thymetosum capitati subass. nova), wet meadows (Gaudinio fragilis-Agrostietum castellanae festucetosum amplae subass. nova) and low mesomediterranean oak forests (Paeonio coriaceae-Quercetum rotundifoliae pistacietosum lentisci subass. nova). Succesional dynamism of plant communities is expressed in 8 vegetation series. 3 series are climatophilous: one mesomediterranean of Quercus rotundifolia and two of Quercus faginea. 3 series are edaphoxerophilous: one thermophilic subrupicolous of Olea europaea subsp. sylvestris, one karstic ombrophile of Pistacia terebinthus and one on gypsum soils of Pinus halepensis. There are also 2 edaphohygrophyllous series: one of Fraxinus angustifolia and another one of Nerium oleander. In the frequent rocky and stony ground habitats, 2 geopermaseries are described: a calcicolous one, characterized by Saxifraga biternata, S. reuteriana and S. camposii and another dolomiticolous one, with Hieracium texedense and H. baeticum and, very scarce, with Sarcocapnos baetica. The freshwater ponds geopermaseries are characterized by Ranunculus peltatus, subsp. saniculifolius and subsp. peltatus, Zannichellia palustris and Chara vulgaris subsp. crassicaulis. Finally, the temporary hygrophilic geopermaserie of clay soils is characterized by Eryngium caespitiferum, Phalaris caerulescens and Festuca ampla. In the ZEC there are 15 large zonopotential landscape units, characterized to a great extent, and in the case of forests, by the presence of Quercus rotundifolia and Q. faginea, with differences between the vegetation landscape of the two subsectors of the ZEC, Torcalense and Antequerano.El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar un catálogo de la flora, de las comunidades vegetales y el estudio del dinamismo sucesional y del paisaje vegetal de la Zona de Especial Conservación (ZEC) Sierra de Camarolos (ES6170012), situada en la provincia de Málaga (Andalucía, España) con una superficie de 8.691 Ha.
