Digitalizacija podeželja temelji na vzpostavitvi digitalne infrastrukture in uporabi digitalnih orodij. V tem procesu obstajajo med podeželskimi območji pomembne razlike glede razvojnih korakov (npr. ...časovni, investicijski, prostorski vidik vzpostavitve digitalne infrastrukture in orodij) in se oblikujejo digitalni razkoraki (razlike v razpoložljivosti in dostopnosti digitalne infrastrukture, uporabi digitalnih orodij), kar smo preučevali na območju lokalne akcijske skupine (LAS) Od Pohorja do Bohorja. Za vpogled v pragmatični vidik neposrednega uporabnika digitalne infrastrukture in digitalnih orodij smo izvedli spletni anketi, v katerih se je izkazalo, da lokalni prebivalci digitalizacijo večinoma dojemajo pozitivno kot orodje pri vsakodnevnih opravilih, da pozitivno digitalizacijo dojemajo tudi osnovnošolci, pri čemer se zavedajo tudi negativnih plati. Prostorska analiza obstoječe digitalne infrastrukture je pokazala, da je le-ta v večini občin LAS Od Pohorja do Bohorja pomanjkljiva, redke investicije v digitalno infrastrukturo so pogosto omejene na središča občin. Ker je digitalizacija postala sestavni in nemalokrat tudi ključni del sodobnega življenja in dela, smo s pomočjo kritične samorefleksije intervjuvancev na preučevanem območju prepoznali, da ima vsak posameznik drugačno dojemanje, razumevanje in stopnjo uporabe digitalne infrastrukture in digitalnih orodij. Empirično-konceptualne ugotovitve fokusne skupine nakazujejo neučinkovitost državnih organov pri investicijah v digitalno opremljenost, premalo informacijskih vsebin v predmetniku osnovne šole ter veliko vlogo digitalne infrastrukture in digitalnih orodij pri delu in prostem času.

International student mobility and graduate employability are interdependently related as two key objectives of the Bologna Process. Although studies widely acknowledge that student mobility enhances ...the employability of international graduates, in particular cases there remain factors that may pose challenges that will be difficult to overcome. In this article, the authors consider the case of foreign (Italian) physiotherapy graduates who cannot acquire a professional qualification in the Republic of Slovenia which they can take back to their own country because of the legislative stipulation regarding a knowledge of the Slovene language for professional examination purposes. The authors begin by discussing student mobility policies and practices in Slovenian higher education. They then first address the (improper) implementation of Directive 55/2013/EU (concerning the recognition of professional qualifications in European Union Member States) in the national legislation and subsequently discuss the broader and related issue of the language of instruction in Slovenian higher education. In this context, they reflect on a present reality of the European Higher Education Area which stems from inconsistent national legislative efforts. Methodologically, the research is based primarily on the analysis of various documentary sources supported by quantitative and qualitative evidence.
To assess the persistence of neighborhood-level lead poisoning disparities in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island Department of Health blood lead levels (BLL) collected from 2006-2019 were linked to census ...block group rates of poverty and housing built pre-1950. We computed multivariate logistic regression models of elevated BLLs (≥5 µg/dL and ≥10 µg/dL).
Of the 197,384 study children, 12.9% had BLLs ≥5 µg/dL and 2.3% had BLLs ≥10 µg/dL. The proportion of children with BLL ≥ 5 µg/dL increased across quintiles of poverty and old housing. The odds ratio for highest quintiles was 1.44 (95% CI: 1.29, 1.60) and 1.92 (95% CI: 1.70, 2.17) for poverty and pre-1950 housing, respectively. A significant temporal decline was observed for BLL ≥ 5 µg/dL (2006: 20.5%, 2019: 3.6%). Disparities narrowed over the study period across quintiles of poverty and old housing with a similar trend appearing in the proportion of children with BLL ≥ 10 µg/dL.
Despite tremendous progress in reducing lead exposure, substantial neighborhood disparities in lead poisoning persist. These findings provide valuable considerations for primary childhood lead exposure prevention.
Through linkage of Rhode Island Department of Health childhood lead poisoning and census data, this study captures neighborhood-level disparities in lead poisoning from 2006-2019. This study demonstrates that the odds of lead poisoning increased in a stepwise fashion for neighborhood quintiles of poverty and housing built pre-1950. While the magnitude of lead poisoning disparities narrowed across quintiles of poverty and old housing, disparities persist. Children's exposure to sources of lead contamination continues to be an important public health concern. The burden of lead poisoning is not equally distributed among all children or communities.

A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges of producing muon collisions at high luminosity ...and 10 TeV centre of mass energy are being investigated by the recently-formed International Muon Collider Collaboration. This Review summarises the status and the recent advances on muon colliders design, physics and detector studies. The aim is to provide a global perspective of the field and to outline directions for future work.
The introduction of non-native organisms into new areas may pose major threats to natural ecosystems. Therefore, continuous and careful national surveys for the interception of invasive non-native ...species are necessary. During the national survey of quarantine species in 2023, two new non-native ambrosia beetles, Anisandrus maiche (Kurentzov) and Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff), were recorded in Slovenia. Anisandrus maiche was recorded in three locations in the eastern part of Slovenia, with a total of 386 individuals. Three individuals of Xylosandrus compactus were collected in one location near the port of Koper. We discuss the possible pathways of introduction and dispersal.
To identify clinical and nonclinical factors associated with time from epilepsy onset to surgical evaluation and treatment among a cohort of children having epilepsy surgery.
Data were abstracted ...from records of 430 children (younger than 18 years) who had epilepsy neurosurgery at the University of California, Los Angeles from 1986 to 2010. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze unique associations of clinical severity, pre-referral brain MRI, and sociodemographic characteristics with time to surgery.
Shorter time to surgery was associated with active (hazard ratio HR 5.67, 95% confidence interval CI 3.74-8.70) and successfully treated infantile spasms (HR 2.20, 95% CI 1.63-2.96); daily or more seizures (HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.58-2.76); MRI before referral regardless of imaging findings (HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.47-2.58); private insurance (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.14-2.09); and Hispanic ethnicity (HR 1.38, 95% CI 1.01-1.87). There were race/ethnicity by insurance interactions (log-rank p = 0.049) with shortest time to surgery for Hispanic children with private insurance.
Shorter intervals to surgical treatment were associated with greater epilepsy severity and insurance type, consistent with existing literature. However, associations of shorter times to treatment with having a brain MRI before referral and Hispanic ethnicity were unexpected and warrant further investigation. More knowledgeable referring providers and parents with greater help-seeking capability may explain obtaining an MRI before referral. Shorter intervals to surgery among Hispanic children may relate to the same factors yielding an increased volume of Hispanic children receiving surgery at the University of California, Los Angeles since 2000.
