    V magistrski nalogi smo proučili nekatere vidike družine in delinkvence v delih pedagoginje Majde Pšunder. Izhajali smo iz njene biografije, saj se je avtorica na svoji bogati akademski poti ukvarjala tudi s področjem družine in odklonskosti mladih. Za potrebe naloge smo izbrana dela, ki se tako ali drugače navezujejo na omenjeno tematiko, kronološko razvrstili in predstavili njihove pomembne vsebinske značilnosti, teoretična izhodišča in rezultate raziskav. Družina je primarna družbena skupina, ki z vzorom, postavljanjem mej, doslednostjo, komunikacijo in učenjem samostojnosti in svobode, otroka usmerja na pot življenja. Z odraščanjem in vključevanjem v vzgojno-izobraževalne institucije otroku ni več družina edini identifikacijski vzorec. Pojavijo se tudi drugi dejavniki, ki lahko vplivajo na otrokovo dojemanje sveta in odklonsko vedenje, ki se najpogosteje kaže v šoli. Šola je vzgojno-izobraževalna ustanova z izdelanim vzgojnim načrtom, ki v primeru otrokovega odklonskega vedenja poseže po alternativnih vzgojnih ukrepih in kasneje tudi po pravnih vzgojnih ukrepih. Za uspešen razvoj mladostnika in adolescenta je pomembno sodelovanje staršev in učiteljev. Za potrebe magistrskega dela smo z avtorico opravili osebni individualni vodeni intervju, ker so nas zanimali njeni motivi za akademsko pot, za raziskovanje tega področja, njeni cilji in zadovoljstvo. Izvedli pa smo še intervjuje s sedmimi sodelavci prof. dr. Majde Pšunder.Master thesis studies and researches various aspects of family and delinquency in works written by teacher and educator Ms Majda Pšunder. Research originates in her biography as the author has dealt in depth with the aspect of family and youth delinquency in her abundant academic career. For the purposes of this master thesis her chosen works have been chronologically reordered and later on presented through their important content characteristics, theoretical basis and research results. Family is a primary unit which by setting examples and boundaries, consistency, communication and teaching about independence and freedom leads and directs a child through life. With growing up and being integrated in educational institutions family no longer presents a primary identification pattern to a child. Other factors interfere and effect child\u27s perspective of the world and delinquent behaviour which is most frequently seen at school. School is an educational institution with a ready-made educational plan and in case of a child\u27s delinquent behaviour it acts according to the alternative disciplinary measures and later on proper disciplinary measures. Consistent cooperation between parents and teachers is most important for a successful child\u27s and teenager\u27s development. For the purposes of this master thesis personal individual interview with the author herself has been carried out as we were interested in motifs for her academic path as well as her interests in this specific field, personal goals and contentment. Interviews with seven other associates of professor Majda Pšunder PhD have been carried out

    Nowa synteza historii gospodarczej średniowiecza (Thomas Ertl, Bauer und Banker. Wirtschaft im Mittelalter, wbg Theiss, Darmstadt 2021, ss. 288)

    A new synthesis of the economic history of the Middle Ages (Thomas Ertl, Bauer und Banker. Wirtschaft im Mittelalter, wbg Theiss, Darmstadt 2021, 288pp) The article is an analysis of a book by the Austrian historian Thomas Ertl. It is a new and original history of the economic life in the Middle Ages. The author not only discusses the main economic phenomena, but also devotes much space to the social and cultural dimension of the history of the medieval economy. The book abounds in a variety of details including those concerning demography or the semiotics of manufacturing and commercial activities. The author skilfully presents the realities of the medieval economy by comparing them with analogous phenomena and figures from the twentieth century. An important part of this comprehensive book is made up of information on economic historiography and its most outstanding representatives in the twentieth century. In this the author demonstrates the differences in the views of scholars from different generations. The geographical scope of the book encompasses mainly the most developed countries of Latin Europe, and, comparatively and complementarily, Byzantium, the Arab world and Rus’. The main shortcoming of this original and valuable work is the almost complete omission of the countries of Central Europe.114final_published

    Investigating the vestibular system using modern imaging techniques – A review on the available stimulation and imaging methods

    No full text
    The vestibular organs, located in the inner ear, sense linear and rotational acceleration of the head and itsposition relative to the gravitationalfield of the earth. These signals are essential for many fundamental skillssuch as the coordination of eye and head movements in the three-dimensional space or the bipedal locomotion ofhumans. Furthermore, the vestibular signals have been shown to contribute to higher cognitive functions such asnavigation. As the main aim of the vestibular system is the sensation of motion it is a challenging system to bestudied in combination with modern imaging methods. Over the last years various different methods were usedfor stimulating the vestibular system. These methods range from artificial approaches like galvanic or caloricvestibular stimulation to passive full body accelerations using hexapod motion platforms, or rotatory chairs. Inthefirst section of this review we provide an overview over all methods used in vestibular stimulation incombination with imaging methods (fMRI, PET, E/MEG, fNIRS). The advantages and disadvantages of everymethod are discussed, and we summarize typical settings and parameters used in previous studies. In the secondsection the role of the four imaging techniques are discussed in the context of vestibular research and theirpotential strengths and interactions with the presented stimulation methods are outlined

    Poster for deRSE19 Conference: Software Sustainability for the Open-Source Particle Visualization Framework MegaMol

    No full text
    MegaMol is an open-source prototyping framework for the interactive visualization of large particle-based data. Its flexible, modular architecture allows it also to serve as development platform for general visualization research. As outlined in the proposal, we planned to improve both the development and the user experience of MegaMol in several ways. We aimed to support the development as openly as possible, using as much (publicly) available infrastructure as possible, for both cost optimization and for reducing the impression that MegaMol is a tool for internal use exclusively. We also planned splitting off the stable, open portion of MegaMol from the parts of code used for work-in-progress publications. The second main goal is concerned with the user experience of MegaMol, starting with the simplification of the build and installation process. As the user interface can be overwhelming for end-users, we aimed at enabling a task-specific, targeted UI and easier manipulation of parameters, while still enabling complex analysis of datasets and dataset ensembles for domain-specific questions. Finally, we planned to reflect on the MegaMol project itself and make our findings publicly available. This poster was presented at the first conference for Research Software Engineers in Germany, the deRSE19 Conference. The conference was held at the Albert Einstein Science Park in Potsdam, Germany, June 4-6, 2019. Presenting the current status of this project during the poster session allowed us to discuss our experiences, plans, and goals for improving the sustainability of MegaMol.</p
