    S prometnimi nesrečami se srečujemo vsak dan. Zaradi svojih pogosto tragičnih posledic imajo posebno mesto v slovenski kazenskopravni zakonodaji. V tej magistrski nalogi sta natančneje predstavljeni in preučeni kaznivi dejanji povzročitve prometne nesreče iz malomarnosti in nevarne vožnje v cestnem prometu, kot ju določa slovenski KZ-1. Obe inkriminaciji sta primerjani, obenem pa je natančneje opisano njuno mesto v slovenski judikaturi. Kriminalitetnopolitična presoja je v rokah zakonodajalca, ki pa je pri oblikovanju inkriminacij vezan na vrsto pravil in načel. Med njimi je tudi lex certa, eno najpomembnejših kazenskopravnih načel, ki med drugim preprečuje arbitrarnost sodne prakse. Skladno s tem, skuša ta magistrska naloga nasloviti izhodiščno vprašanje, če je zakonodajalec pri sprejemanju in spreminjanju določb 323. člena in 324. člena KZ-1 ustvaril primeren in jasen normativni okvir za praktično odločanje o teh dveh kaznivih dejanjih, ki spoštuje kazenskopravna načela.Traffic accidents are events we encounter in our everyday life. Because of their potentially severe consequences, they also have an important place in Slovenian criminal law. In my master\u27s thesis, I analyse the criminal offences of causing a traffic accident through negligence and dangerous driving in road traffic, as defined in the Slovenian Criminal Code. I compare the two criminalisation and present their place in Slovenian case law. The legislator has the competence of criminal policy judgement. Nevertheless, many rules and principles bind the legislator in formulating the incriminations, precisely one of the most important in criminal law, the lex certa. This principle prevents the arbitrariness of case law. Therefore, the initial question of this thesis is whether the Slovenian legislator has, through adopting and amending the provisions of Article 323 and Article 324 of the Criminal Code, established a sufficiently clear normative framework for the assessment of these criminal offences in practice and in view of relevant legal principles

    Diplomsko delo opisuje nekatere kritične poglede na dojemanje pojavov duševnih motenj v psihiatriji in družbi ter postopke psihiatrične obravnave ljudi, označenih z diagnozo duševne bolezni. Val alternativnih pristopov in postopno izboljšanje položaja pacientov ter njihovih pravic sem umestila v širše družbeno-politično in zgodovinsko dogajanje. Osrednje teme so antipsihiatrično gibanje, dezinstitucionalizacija in poseben pristop slovenskega psihiatra Janeza Ruglja. Kritike raznih avtorjev so se večinoma nanašale na odnos družbe do posameznikov z (domnevnimi) duševnimi motnjami, na načine oskrbe znotraj psihiatrije in na negativne učinke (institucionalne) psihiatrije. Mnogi so se ukvarjali tudi z vprašanjem izvora duševne motnje, pri čemer je šlo za presojanje družbenih ali bioloških faktorjev. Osebnosti, ki so pozivale k družbenim spremembam in reformiranju psihiatrične discipline, so pogosto omejevali razhodi s sodobniki znotraj stroke.The diploma thesis describes some critical views on the perception of the phenomena of mental disorders in psychiatry and society, as well as the procedures of psychiatric treatment of people diagnosed with a mental illness. I have placed the wave of alternative approaches and the gradual improvement of the patients\u27 situation and their rights in the wider sociopolitical and historical context. The central themes are the anti-psychiatric movement, deinstitutionalization and the special approach of the Slovenian psychiatrist Janez Rugelj. Criticisms by various authors mostly related to society\u27s attitude towards individuals with (alleged) mental disorders, the methods of care within psychiatry and the negative effects of (institutional) psychiatry. Many have also dealt with the question of the origin of mental disorder, judging social or biological factors. People who called for social change and reform of the psychiatric discipline were often limited by disagreements with contemporaries within the profession

    Izvor nadzorovanja (angl. Locus of Control) je psihološki pojem, ki ločuje posameznike na tiste s poudarjenim notranjim izvorom nadzorovanja – internaliste, in tiste s poudarjenim zunanjim izvorom nadzorovanja – eksternaliste. Razlika med njimi je v prepričanju, da kar se jim v življenju dogaja, je pri enih posledica njihovega lastnega napora, vloženega znanja, truda, pri drugih pa posledica sreče, usode. V drugem delu naloge smo opredelili pojem izvora nadzorovanja ter način ugotavljanja izvora nadzorovanja s skalo za merjenje internalnosti oziroma eksternalnosti. V nadaljevanju tega dela smo predstavili, kako se izoblikuje izvor nadzorovanja pri posamezniku, kako posameznik kontrolira izvor nadzorovanja ter kako skozi izvor nadzorovanja pojasnjuje posamezne dogodke. V tem delu smo povzeli tudi glavne ugotovitve raziskav različnih avtorjev o povezavi izvora nadzorovanja s starostjo, spolom, kulturo, etiko, vero, zdravjem, stresom, vodenjem, kakovostjo opravljanja dela, zadovoljstvom pri delu, pripadnostjo instituciji, konfliktom med delom in družino, podjetništvom in nakupovanjem. V tretjem delu naloge smo predstavili raziskave različnih avtorjev (Hyatt in Prawitt, 2001Patten, 2005Donnelly in drugi, 2003Chen in Silverthorn, 2008) o vplivu izvora nadzorovanja in zaznane strukturiranosti delovnega okolja na revizorjevo opravljanje dela in zadovoljstvo pri delu, o vplivu izvora nadzorovanja na revizorjevo pripadnost instituciji, sprejemanje disfunkcionalnega vedenja, namen za zamenjavo službe in oceno opravljanja dela ter o vplivu izvora nadzorovanja na stres na delovnem mestu ter na kakovost opravljanja dela in zadovoljstvo pri delu med revizorji. V četrtem delu naloge smo predstavili raziskovalno metodologijo lastne empirične raziskave o vplivu izvora nadzorovanja na nekatere dejavnike pri delu revizorjev, in sicer posebej za revizorje računskega sodišča in posebej za pooblaščene revizorje, vpisane v register pri SIR. Vpliv izvora nadzorovanja (in zaznane strukturiranosti delovnega okolja) na nekatere dejavnike pri njihovem delu, kot so zadovoljstvo pri delu, kakovost opravljanja dela, stres na delovnem mestu, pripadnost instituciji in namen oditi oziroma ostati v instituciji smo preverili z 12 hipotezami. V okviru tega dela smo primerjali rezultate ugotovitev empirične raziskave med internalisti in eksternalisti − revizorji računskega sodišča ter internalisti in eksternalisti − pooblaščenimi revizorji, vpisanimi v register pri SIR ter med revizorji računskega sodišča in pooblaščenimi revizorji, vpisanimi v register pri SIR. Rezultate ugotovitev empirične raziskave za revizorje računskega sodišča in pooblaščene revizorje, vpisane v register pri SIR, smo primerjali z rezultati ugotovitev raziskav Hyatta in Prawitta (2001), Pattna (2005), Donnellya in drugih (2003) ter Chena in Silverthorna (2008) ter poročali o enakostih in razlikah med njimi. V sklepnem, petem delu naloge pa smo povzeli ključne ugotovitve.Locus of control is a psychological concept, which distinguishes individuals with internal locus of control from those with external locus of control. The difference between them is in their individual beliefs. Those with internal locus of control are convinced that all what happens to them in life is the result of their efforts, endeavours and their knowledge invested, whereas the others believe that everything depends on luck and destiny. In the second part of the thesis dealt with, we define the concept of locus of control and the methods of assessing it, by means of a scale for measuring internality or externality. In our further proceedings, we present how locus of control is formed in individuals, how the individual keeps it under surveillance, and how, through it, he explains various occurrencies in his life. In this part of theme, we also summarize the main findings of several authors, concerning the correlation of locus of control with age, gender, culture, ethics, religion, health, stress, policy making, job performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, work-family conflict, business and household consumption. In the third part of the thesis we present research undertaken by Hyatt and Prawitt (2001), Patten (2005), Donnelly and others (2003) and Chen and Silverthorn (2008), to determine the impact of locus of control and of the perceived structure of the working environment on the auditor’s job performance and job satisfaction, on his professional commitment and his acceptance of disfunctional behaviour, his intentions of turnover, as well as the assessment of his work performed and the risk of stress, as well as and on job performance evaluation and about impact of locus of control on auditors job stress, job performance and job satisfaction. In the fourth part of the thesis we present the methodology of our own empirical research into the impact of locus of control on certain factors in auditors\u27 work. In the sample examined, we deal with auditors of Court of Audit and authorized auditors of The Slovenian Institute of Auditors, registered at the Institute, separately. By means of 12 hypotheses, we examine the impact of locus of control (and audit structure) on certain factors of auditors’ work, like job satisfaction, job performance, job stress, organizational commitment, turnover intentions. We compare findings of our own empirical research, confronting internalists and externalists among the auditors of the Court of Audit with internalists and externalists among authorized auditors of The Slovenian Institute of Auditors, registered at the Institute. We also compare results of our own research with those of Hyatt and Prawitt (2001), Patten (2005), Donnelly and others (2003) and Chen and Silverthorn (2008) and report on their common findings and differences between them. In the last, fifth part of the thesis we summarize the main findings

    Steginoporella lineata n. sp. (Figs 1F, 22, 24–25, 35–36) Etymology. Latin, lineatus, pertaining to a line, alluding to the narrow, linear form of the colony. Material examined. Holotype: NIWA22945, TAN0205 /64, 30.162° S, 178.578° W, NW slope of Macauley Seamount, west-central Kermadec Ridge, 22 April 2002, 328 m. Paratypes: NIWA 122577, same data as for holotype; NIWA 122578, K795, 33.063° S, 179.567° W, southern Kermadec Ridge, 18 July 1974, 270 m. Description. Colony small, narrow, linear, not cemented to substratum but attached by sparse rootlets issuing laterally from cuticle of interior-walled colony margin; comprising ribbon-like growths 3–5 zooids across, up to 22 mm long and 3 mm wide. Dried colonies initially light brown, darkening with age, especially the operculum. Zooids dimorphic. All zooids roundly elongate-rectangular with arcuate distal and proximal margins (mean L/ W = 1.79); lateral margins parallel or slightly converging proximad; widest at level of median process or midlength. Cryptocystal area more than half zooid length, extensive shelf sunken, weakly concave, scattered pseudopores mostly occluded. B-zooids as large as or larger than A-zooids. Opesial outline of A-zooids with lateral margins widening distad, the arcuate orificial shelf broad; angular articular pivots lacking; median process with distolateral ‘wings’ that do not meet lateral margin; proximomedial foramen of small to moderate size, subrounded. Inner face of operculum smooth, lacking sclerites. Opesial outline of B-zooids somewhat triangular, i.e. with lateral margins converging distad, also with broadly arcuate orificial shelf. Median process as well developed as in A-zooids or with smaller wings. Inner face of mandible with inversely V-shaped sclerites; these can also be clearly seen in frontal view as dark lines. Polypide not seen. Ancestrula smaller and proportionally narrower than other zooids, tapering proximad, cryptocyst descending to substratum. First daughter zooid budded laterally. Measurements. In micrometres: ZL 1238±86, 1021–1323 (3, 10); ZW 691±29, 643–744 (3, 10); OpL 201±38, 167–289 (3, 10); OpW 382±60, 221–445 (3, 10); AvL 1292±58, 1200–1389 (4, 10); AvW 746±28, 683–778 (4, 10); AvOpL 254±18, 221–278 (4, 10); AnOpW 467±32, 389–506 (4, 10). AnL 1205; AnW 561. Remarks. Steginoporella lineata n. sp. is notable as the only species from New Zealand with both A- and Bzooids. The dried mandibles of the B-zooids are darker than those of A-zooids, also indicating pigmentation. The species is unusual in that colonies may attach wholly to a hard substratum, typically basalt, or only partly to a substratum, or not at all, having sparse lateral rootlets. Distribution.

    Steginoporella discors n. sp. (Figs 1D, 20, 26–27, 34) Steganoporella (Vincularia) neozelanica: Hincks 1882: 119. Non Steginoporella neozelanica (Busk, 1861). Steganoporella neozelanica var. magnifica: Livingstone 1929: 66, text-fig. 2c, pl. 1, fig. 11. Non Steginoporella magnifica Harmer, 1900. Steginoporella magnifica: Pouyet & David 1979b (part): 783; Gordon 1984 (part): 56, pl. 17B. Etymology. Latin discors, different, disagreeing, alluding to differences from Steginoporella magnifica, which is superficially similar. Material examined. Holotype: NIWA 122575, Stn E 842, 33.900° S, 172.283° E, near Bowling Bank, NE of Three Kings Islands, 16 March 1968, 187– 224 m.

Other: NIWA 122664, Stn Z9743; NIWA 122672, Stn Z8639; NIWA 122673, Stn KAH9901/29. Plus unregistered (non-separated) specimens in multispecies samples from NIWA Stations K795, K797, K820, K822, K824, K850, K851, K855, K857, Z8639, Z8662. Description. Colony encrusting, unilaminar, forming inversely calyciform structure through overgrowth of other sessile organisms, or a long open cone to> 40 mm length. Colour in life pale brownish-beige. Zooids monomorphic, broadly subpyriform with mostly tapering proximolateral margins, roundly truncate proximally, longer than wide (mean L/W = 1.31), widest at level of opercular pivots or just distal of these. Cryptocystal area smaller than opesia; shelf comprising two parts, a coarsely granular narrow area proximally and laterally, edged by acute tubercles, below which is very short area with occluded pseudopores that steeply descends to large proximomedial foramen. Distal edges of polypide tube extend into space beneath operculum like a scoop. Opercular opening delimited by stout triangular pivots and thin edge of well-developed median process, with distolateral ‘wings’ that do not meet pivots or lateral margin; proximomedial foramen large, pocket-shaped. Inner face of operculum smooth, lacking reticular sclerites. Polypide not seen. Ancestrula like that in S. magnifica, but two daughter zooids budded from one side, with additional zooids produced from them, long before any zooids are budded distally or from opposite side of ancestrula. Measurements. In micrometres: ZL 1013±40, 940–1078 (1, 10); ZW 773±29, 733–812 (1, 10); OpL 396±29, 343–444 (1, 10); OpW 579±35, 510–612 (1, 10). Remarks. Steginoporella discors n. sp. has been confused in the past with S. magnifica (e.g. by Gordon 1984, 1986). Both are coastal species that form large encrustations, but whereas colonies of S. magnifica form closely adherent crusts on firm substrata, those of S. discors n. sp. encrust less-consolidated hard substrata, draping the colony to follow the contours of the substratum and crossing gaps. The species apparently even encrusts reasonably firm sponges—the holotype colony was found in the NIWA collection, detached from any substratum, as a unilamellar crust. Further, the paratype colony is highly distinctive, having the form of a hollow waffle cone, with one opening larger than the other (Fig. 1D). It is not clear how the colony acquired its form but it is likely to have begun life encrusting a biogenic surface, perhaps a cylindrical sponge stem, which subsequently decayed. Hincks (1882) noted that an encrusting colony of ‘ Steganoporella (Vincularia) neozelanica ’ was spread over a sponge—it is near certain that he had S. discors n. sp. Like all other coastal and shelf congeners in New Zealand, S. discors n. sp. has monomorphic zooids, but differs strikingly from them in its foreshortened steeply descending cryptocystal shelf and lack of reticulate opercular sclerites. Livingstone (1929) was puzzled by an encrusting form from 119 m at the Three Kings Islands that lacked reticular sclerites in the operculum; with some hesitation he ascribed it to ‘ Steganoporella neozelanica var. magnifica ’. It is clear from his illustrations of zooids and an operculum that he had S. discors n. sp. Likewise, Gordon (1984) illustrated nominal S. magnifica from the Kermadec Ridge; the foreshortened cryptocystal shelf and visible polypide tube show that this too belongs to S. discors n. sp.. Steginoporella magnifica is rare on the Kermadec Ridge, where it partly connects the distribution of the species between Tonga and the main islands of New Zealand. Pouyet & David (1979b, p. 784) stated that S. magnifica occurred at 75° S latitude based on a specimen collected by the British Antarctic Expedition, but this record was misattributed; the cited specimen, presently registered as NHMUK 1967.2.8.127, was collected by the Terra Nova off northern New Zealand. Our examination of this specimen shows it to be S. discors n. sp., not S. magnifica, and it is nominated as a paratype. Distribution.

    ALTIHORATOSPHAGA NOMIMA(KARSCH, 1896)COMB. NOV. Peronura nomima Karsch, 1896: 327. One male syntype, Tanganyika, Mpwapwa, 5 June 1890 (Stuhlmann); two female syntypes, Tanganyika, Mpwapwa, 7 June 1890 (Stuhlmann); MNB. Additional material examined: One male and one female, Tanganyika Territory, Mroke 30 August 21 (Swynnerton); one male one female, Tanganyika, Ruaha National Park, 15 March 1966 (FitzGerald); NHML. Diagnosis: Differs from all other Altihoratosphaga species in a rather smooth pronotum with few very shallow rugosities only on the pronotal disc, and in the lack of black spots on the tegmina. In respect of body size it is the largest Altihoratosphaga species. Differentiating characters of all Altihoratosphaga species are listed in Table 3. Discussion: The Mpwapwa plateau, a mountainous area north of the small town Mpwapwa, reaches elevations of up to 1500 m a.s.l. It is suggested that A. nomima occupies a similar habitat (i.e. herbaceous vegetation in clearings and along forest edges of the submontane–montane zone) as the other Altihoratosphaga species. As A. nomima specimens are also recorded from further south, from the Ruaha National Park, where this species was collected from riverine vegetation, this species is presumed to occur on the mountainous areas in between, such as further east in the Ukaguru Mountains, which reach elevations of over 1500 m a.s.l., or the Rubeho Mountains, with elevations of over 1800 m a.s.l. However, the male from Ruaha and the holotype male from Mpwapwa differ slightly in some characters. The male cerci in the holotype of A. nomima (Fig. 8H) are more acute than those of the male from Ruaha National Park (Fig. 9D). Also, the venation of the tegmina differs slightly, and the Mpwapwa male has more rugosities on the pronotal disc than the Ruaha specimen. More material from this region of Tanzania is necessary, as well as data on habitat and ecology (song), to decide whether specimens from these two localities belong to the same species.Published as part of Hemp, Claudia, Voje, Kjetil Lysne, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard, Warchałowska-Śliwa, Elżbieta & Hemp, Andreas, 2010, A new genus of African Acrometopini (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) based on morphology, chromosomes, acoustics, distribution, and molecular data, and the description of a new species, pp. 66-82 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 158 (1) on page 74, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2009.00542.
