Hemp´s potential implication as a sustainable material in building and construction business
No full textV diplomskem delu je predstavljena analiza uporabe industrijske konoplje kot trajnostnega gradbenega materiala. Cilj naloge je bil raziskati potencial konoplje v gradbeništvu, oceniti njene okoljske in ekonomske učinke ter analizirati njeno konkurenčnost v primerjavi s konvencionalnimi materiali. Poleg tega je bil namen tudi ovrednotiti, kako lahko konoplja prispeva k doseganju trajnostnih ciljev in prehodu v krožno gospodarstvo.
V prvem delu naloge smo predstavili industrijsko konopljo kot rastlino, njene značilnosti in prednosti za uporabo v gradbeništvu. Konoplja je zaradi svoje hitre rasti, nizkih zahtev po pesticidih in izjemne sposobnosti zajemanja ogljikovega dioksida prepoznana, kot eden izmed najperspektivnejših materialov za trajnostno gradnjo. Posebna pozornost je bila namenjena konopljinemu betonu, ki se uporablja kot izolacijski in strukturni material. Njegove lastnosti, kot so dobra toplotna in zvočna izolacija, odpornost na ogenj in plesen, ter nizka gostota, so lastnosti ki vplivajo, da je energetsko učinkovit material, kar pomeni da pripomore k zmanjšanju porabe energije pri njegovi uporabi, ne da bi pri tem ogrožal delovanje ali udobje. Tak material ponuja visoko zmogljivost v kontekstu izolacije, bodisi toplotne bodisi zvočne.
V primerjavi z drugimi zelenimi materiali, kot so slama, les in glina, konoplja izstopa po svoji izjemni vsestranskosti, obnovljivosti in ekoloških prednostih, zlasti pri izboljševanju kakovosti tal, na katerih raste. Kljub tem nedvomnim prednostim pa se sooča z izzivi, kot so zakonodajne omejitve in omejena dostopnost na trgu, kar zavira njeno širšo uporabo. V nadaljevanju smo analizirali primere uporabe konopljinega betona, kjer se je izkazalo, da ta material pomembno prispeva k zmanjšanju okoljskih obremenitev, izboljšanju bivalnega udobja ter podaljšanju življenjske dobe stavb. Kljub spodbudnim rezultatom pa je jasno, da so potrebne nadaljnje raziskave, predvsem na področju dolgotrajne obstojnosti in ekonomske upravičenosti uporabe konopljinega betona.
Sklep naloge potrjuje, da ima industrijska konoplja velik potencial za trajnostni razvoj gradbeništva, vendar je za njeno širšo implementacijo potrebno preseči regulativne ovire in povečati ozaveščenost o njenih prednostih. Konoplja ima edinstveno priložnost, da postane ključni material v prehodu k trajnostni gradnji, vendar bo to mogoče le z nadaljnjimi raziskavami in inovacijami.This thesis presents an analysis of the use of industrial hemp as a sustainable building material. The aim of the thesis was to explore the potential of hemp in construction, to assess its environmental and economic impacts and to analyse its competitiveness compared to conventional materials. In addition, the aim was to evaluate how hemp can contribute to achieving sustainability goals and the transition towards a circular economy.
In the first part of the thesis, we presented industrial hemp as a plant, its characteristics and its advantages for use in the construction industry. Hemp is recognised as one of the most promising materials for sustainable construction due to its fast growth, low pesticide requirements and exceptional carbon sequestration capacity. Particular attention has been paid to hempcrete, which is used as an insulating and structural material. Its properties such as good thermal and acoustic insulation, resistance to fire and mould, and low density, are characteristics that make it an energy efficient material, meaning that it helps to reduce energy consumption in its use without compromising performance or comfort. Such material offers high performance in the context of insulation, either thermal or acoustic.
Compared to other green materials such as straw, wood and clay, hemp stands out for its exceptional versatility, its renewability and its ecological advantages, particularly in improving the quality of the soil on which it grows. Despite these undoubted advantages, it faces challenges such as regulatory constraints and limited market availability, which inhibit its wider use. In the following, we analyse examples of the use of hempcrete where it has been shown to make a significant contribution to reducing environmental burdens, improving living comfort and extending the lifetime of buildings. Despite the encouraging results, it is clear that further research is needed, especially in the area of long-term durability and economic viability of hempcrete.
The conclusion of the thesis confirms that industrial hemp has a great potential for sustainable development of the construction industry, but that its wider implementation requires overcoming regulatory barriers and raising awareness of its benefits. Hemp has a unique opportunity to become a key material in the transition towards sustainable construction, but this will only be possible with further research and innovation
Knowledge of first aid in laic population regards to epileptic seizure
No full textTeoretična izhodišča: Epilepsija je skupno ime za nevrološke bolezni, katerih značilnost so ponavljajoči se epileptični napadi. Poznamo številne podvrste epilepsije, ki jim je skupno le nenormalno sočasno proženje živčnih celic (Kržan, 2013, str. 4). Epileptični napadi se med seboj po znakih in simptomih zelo razlikujejo. Epileptična aktivnost v napadih lahko povzroči spremembe občutkov, zavedanja ali vedenja, povzroči nehotene gibe ali okrne motorične funkcije. Napadi so lahko očitni, z nenadnimi krčevitimi kontrakcijami mišic in z nezavestjo. Lahko pa so napadi navzven neopazni (Lorber, 2012, str. 30).
Metodologija raziskovanja: V diplomskem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno (opisno) metodo dela. Uporabili smo tudi kvantitativno metodo dela, izvedli anketo s pomočjo spletnega vprašalnika EnKlikAnketa, ki je bila anonimna. Sestavljena je bila iz 15 vprašanj, na anketo je odgovorilo 100 ljudi.
Rezultati: Laična populacija pozna pojem epileptični napad, veliko se jih je že srečalo z epileptičnim napadom, poznajo tudi nekatere vzroke za epilepsijo. Kljub poznavanju pojma, pa laična populacija v večini ne bi znala nuditi pravilne prve pomoči ob epileptičnem napadu. Sicer poznajo nekaj osnovnih ukrepov, vendar bi nekateri bolniku lahko celo škodili zaradi napačnega ukrepanja.
Sklep: Laična populacija bi potrebovala več izobraževanja o prvi pomoči ob epileptičnem napadu, morda tudi o splošni prvi pomoči. Viri navajajo, da naj bi 1 % ljudi na svetu imel epilepsijo. Glede na te statistične podatke je razmeroma malo laikov dobro pripravljenih oziroma poučenih, da bi se v takšni situaciji dobro odrezali.Theoretical background. Epilepsy is a common name for neurological diseases, whose properties are recurring seizures. There\u27s a number of sub-types of epilepsy, which have in common only the abnormal simultaneous actuation of the nerve cells (Kržan 2013, p. 4). Seizures differ among themselves by signs and symptoms . Epileptic activity in attacks can cause changes in sensation, awareness or behavior, causes involuntary movements or impaired motor functions. The attacks can be obvious, with sudden spasmodic contractions of the muscles and unconsciousness. But the attacks may also not be apparent (Lorber 2012, p. 30).
Research Methodology. In this diploma paper we used descriptive (descriptive) method of working. We also used a quantitative method of working, we carried out a survey via an online questionnaire EnKlikAnketa, which was anonymous. It consisted of 15 questions, on the survey responded 100 people.
Results. Laic population is familiar with the concept of epileptic seizures, many of them already met with epileptic seizures, they are also familiar with some of the causes for epilepsy. Despite the knowledge of concept, however secular population in the majority would not be able to provide proper first aid for seizure. Otherwise they are familiar with a few basic actions, although some may even harm the patient due to wrong action.
Conclusion: Laic population would need more education on first aid in epileptic seizure, maybe even about the general first aid. Sources indicate that 1% of people in the world have epilepsy. According to these statistical data there are relatively few people well prepared and trained to perform well in that kind of situation

THU0474 Utilisation of anti-osteoporotic drugs in real-world data: an analysis of persistence to therapy and risk of fracture
No full textBackground Osteoporosis is a chronic progressive disease characterised by low bone mass and deterioration of bone structure, leading to an increate risk of fractures. It is a major public health problem, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The primary aim of pharmaceutical therapy is to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures. However, long-term adherence to therapy is requie for optimal therapeutic benefit for patients with osteoporosis. Poor adherence is considered to be one primary reason for suboptimal clinical benefit.
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of non-persistence and impact of persistence on the risk of fractures by using administrative databases.
Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using administrative data from four local health authorities in the Abruzzo Region (Central Italy), which comprise about 9 00 000 inhabitants (68% of the overall regional population). The final cohort consisted of a total of 7862 patients, aged ≥60 years, identified through records of filled prescriptions for an antiosteoporotic drug between January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006. The primary outcome of this study was persistence at one year. Persistence was defined as the length of time (in days) from the date of the index prescription to the date of discontinuation therapy.
Results Kaplan – Meier analysis showed that 3733 patients (47.5%) were persistent with antiosteoporotic drugs after 1 year. An adjusted analysis showed that there is a big difference in persistence between women and men: women are more likely to be non-persistent than men (HR:1.94). Switcher patients were more likely to be non-persistent (HR:1.22). The odds of fracture were significantly higher for patients with previous fractures in comparison with those without previous fractures [OR, 1.70, (95% CI, 1.12–2.59)] (table 1)
Table 1 Logistic regression model: impact of persistence and other factors on the risk fracture
Conclusions Persistence with antiosteoporotic drugs is a significant predictor of incurring a fracture. For these reason, improving osteoporosis treatment compliance and persistence represents one of a major challenge for the future.
