Analiza je posvećena zgodovini in značilnostim prostega verza, najbolj značilnega izraznega sredstva moderne poezije. Avtor poudarja, da pri prostem verzu ne gre za odsotnost oblike, temveč za ...radikalno spremenjeno razmerje med obliko in pesniškim besedilom: v nasprotju s tradicionalnimi pesniškimi oblikami, zgrajenih na vnarej danih metričnih pravilih, prosti verz omogoča in zahteva enkratno obliko za sleherno pesem v prostem verzu. V tradicionalnih oblikah se mora sintaksa podrejati metričnim omejitvam - v prostem verzu pa sama sintaksa prevzame ritmično vlogo. V tem smislu je prosti verz paradoksalno podoben najstarejšemu znanemu načinu organizacije verza - t. i. paralelizmu členov (značilnem za svetopisemske psalme). Verz, ki bi bil povsem prost ritma, ne obstaja. Termin prosti (svobodni) verz je torej zavajajoč. Natančna oznaka bi se torej morala glasiti nemetrični verz. A prosti verz zveni lepše.
Early recurrences (ERs) of atrial tachyarrhythmia are common after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. A 3-month blanking period is recommended by current guidelines. This study sought to ...investigate the significance of ER during the first 3 months post ablation in predicting late recurrences and determine whether it varies according to timing.
A total of 401 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation undergoing pulmonary vein isolation were followed for 12 months with transtelephonic monitoring in the ADVICE (Adenosine Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation to Target Dormant Conduction Elimination) trial. Patients with atrial tachyarrhythmia ≥30 s within the 3-month blanking period were stratified according to the timing of ER. A total of 179 patients (44.6%) experienced their last episode of ER during the first (n=53), second (n=44), or third (n=82) month of the 3-month blanking period. One-year freedom from symptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmia was 77.2% in patients without ER compared with 62.6%, 36.4%, and 7.8% in patients with ER 1, 2, and 3 months post ablation, respectively (P<0.0001). Receiver operating curve analyses revealed a strong correlation between the timing of ER and late recurrence (area under the curve 0.82, P<0.0001). Corresponding hazard ratios for ER during the first, second, and third months were 1.84, 4.45, and 9.64, respectively.
This study validates the use of a blanking period after catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation but calls into question the 90-day cut-off value. In particular, >90% of patients with ER during the third month post ablation experience late recurrence by 1 year. However, pending further study, repeat ablation before 90 days cannot be routinely advocated.

Spherical nanoparticles (NPs) of cadmium and lead sulfides (diameter 37 ± 5 and 24 ± 4 nm, respectively) have been found to be cytotoxic for HL-1 cardiomyocytes as evidenced by decrease in adenosine ...triphosphate–dependent luminescence. Cadmium sulfide (CdS)-NPs were discovered to produce a much greater cytotoxic impact than lead sulphide (PbS)-NP. Given the same dose range, CdS-NP reduced the number of calcium spikes. A similar effect was observed for small doses of PbS-NP. In addition to cell hypertrophy under the impact of certain doses of CdS-NP and PbS-NP, doses causing cardiomyocyte size reduction were identified. For these 3 outcomes, we obtained both monotonic “dose–response” functions (well approximated by the hyperbolic function) and different variants of non-monotonic ones for which we found adequate mathematical expressions by modifying certain models of hormesis available in the literature. Data analysis using a response surface linear model with a cross-term provided new support to the previously established postulate that a diversity of types of joint action characteristic of one and the same pair of damaging agents is one of the important assertions of the general theory of combined toxicity.
Filozofska fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani in Komisija za slovenski jezik v javnosti pri Slovenski akademiji znanosti in umetnosti sta v torek, 23. oktobra 2018, organizirali okroglo mizo »Jezik in ...spol«, ki je potekala na Filozofski fakulteti v Ljubljani. Izhodišče razprave je bil sklep Senata Filozofske fakultete o izmenični rabi moške in ženske slovnične oblike za vse spole v pravilnikih Filozofske fakultete, s sogovornicami in sogovorniki pa sta organizatorja želela razpravo razširiti na vprašanja, kakšne možnosti ponuja slovenski jezik za uporabo spolno občutljivega jezika in kako v slovenskem jeziku zagotavljati vključujoč jezik v različnih družbenih situacijah. Objavljamo zapis je po posnetku dogodka, ki je na voljo na YouTubu.

In his famous essay, ‘Tradition & the Individual Talent,’ T.S.Eliot wrote that any art of consequence changes its entire past and creates its own precursors; that it produces, in short, a retroactive constitution of necessity for the present state of affairs. Today, however, the internationalist project and the major centres of European cosmopolitanism that were the principal catalysts of this ‘necessity,’ are no longer what they were. The much vaunted conditions of the avant-garde during the period of political transformation in the first half of the twentieth century in Europe have solidified into a seemingly paradoxical tension between neo-nationalism and global capital, and the idea of the avant-garde has become little more than a rhetorical gesture in the aftermath of liberal humanism, existing today merely as a simulacrum of itself.
The purpose of this article is to explore the perception of consumers regarding electronic commerce as a tool for sports footwear purchasing. Based on secondary sources, firstly, the authors define ...e-commerce and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. Then, the results of the empirical research are presented with the aim of (1) determining consumer perception of electronic commerce in the area of this specific product group, and (2) determining the difference between two generations of consumers. Two relevant age groups are compared: the younger population (18-39 years) and middle-aged consumers (40-59 years). The study was conducted on a sample of 202 respondents, of whom 110 are members of the young population and 92 are members of the middle age population. This research empirically confirmed that there are significant differences between generations when it comes to attitudes towards electronic commerce, thus this paper filling the existing gap in modern literature in retail and electronic commerce fields.
The factors influencing the quality of power are investigated. The necessity of using active filters in autonomous power systems is determined. A model of an active filter for a ship's closed-feed ...system with a nonlinear non-symmetric load has been designed. Simulation was performed with various parameters of the system. Based on the results of simulation, it is concluded that a compensating active current filter will improve the quality of electrical energy onboard ship. The filter removes non-symmetry, smoothes current harmonics and compensates for the reactive component of currents. The use of this circuit design is advisable for autonomous systems of limited power on ships of the merchant fleet
