Članek analizira vlogo slovenskih služkinj, večinoma priseljenk iz slovenskega okoliškega bazena in bližnjih avstrijskih dežel, ob popisu prebivalstva leta 1910 v Trstu. Osredotoča se na njihovo ...avtonomno ravnanje glede na odvisni položaj znotraj gospodinjstev ter pritiske javnosti oz. slovenskih in italijanskih nacionalnih elit v mestu. Raziskava ob pomoči javnega diskurza, arhivskega gradiva in kvantitativne analize vzorca popisnih pol cenzusa sintetizira zlasti pomen podatkov, kot sta občevalni jezik in kraj izvora služkinj, in jih interpretativno umešča v kontekst (nacionalne) identitete.
Članek je podrobna analiza nagrobnih stel Decima Fulvija Doroteja v Kopru in Pole Orcivije v Mestnem muzeju starožitnosti »J. J. Winckelmann« v Trstu. Analizirani so motivi stel in z epigrafskega ...vidika je obrazložen pomen grškega napisa na reliefih. Izpostavljene so konkretne teorije izvora stel in upodobljencev,ter krajše obnovitve preteklih raziskav. Po Marie-Thérèse Le Dinahet-Couilloud nagrobna stela v Kopru izvira z grškega otoka Reneja, deloške nekropole, kar je razvidno že iz primerjave s številnimi stelami z Reneje, ki imajo enake značilnosti, tako slogovne kot epigrafske. Zato članek zagovarja tudi domnevo o steli Pole Orcivije v Trstu, ki bi tudi lahko izvirala z Reneje, in na podlagi primerjav izpostavlja teorijo njenega izvora kot precej verjetno.
Clostridium difficile is a predominant cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. It is increasingly difficult to treat C. difficile infection efficiently owing to its multidrug resistance. In the ...present study, 60 clinical C. difficile isolates were collected and analysed for their genotype, antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance mechanisms. Tandem repeat sequence typing (TRST) generated 21 types, including the epidemic clone tr017. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of eight antibiotics was performed by the agar dilution method. Rifampicin, metronidazole and vancomycin remained the most potent agents in vitro, whilst the resistance rates of other agents such as ciprofloxacin, cefoxitin, clindamycin, tetracycline and moxifloxacin varied from 30% to 100%. 73.33% of the strains were multiresistant to at least three classes of antibiotics, and tr017 strains made up the greatest proportion of multidrug resistance. By further investigating the resistance mechanisms, amino acid substitutions in target enzymes encoded by gyrA/gyrB and rpoB were observed in fluoroquinolone- and rifampicin-resistant strains, respectively. The erm(B) gene was the most prevalent in macrolide–lincosamide–streptogramin B (MLSB)-resistant strains, and the ErmB determinant ‘Erj2’, a novel genetic organisation identified in this study, plays a central role in conferring resistance, especially in epidemic strains. Moreover, transposon Tn916 carrying the tet(M) gene is more common than Tn5397 in tetracycline resistance.
Objectives
Frailty in older people associates with poor outcomes. Screening by ED physicians would greatly facilitate detection of frail older patients but our previous attempt to introduce routine ...ED-physician screening with Short Emergency Geriatric Assessment (SEGA), a 13-item frailty tool that French geriatricians use to identify frail patients, failed due to its length and complexity. A national committee recently generated a new version of the fast and simple 5-item Triage Risk Screening Tool (TRST) in which a subjective item (‘nurse concern’) was replaced by an item assessing basic activities of daily living. The ability of ED physicians using this French-TRST to accurately detect frail patients who require comprehensive geriatric assessment was assessed.
Design
Prospective cross-sectional study on diagnostic accuracy relative to the gold standard, namely, geriatrician-administered SEGA.
Setting
Tertiary-care hospital, France.
Subjects and measurements
The participants were 498 ≥75-year-old patients who visited the ED in 2018–2019 and were administered French-TRSTs by first ED physicians and then geriatricians, followed by SEGA, all within 24 hours. Diagnostic accuracy variables were calculated. Geriatrician-TRST was used to identify TRST items that associated with ED physician misclassification of frail patients.
Results
Emergency-TRST was significantly less sensitive than Geriatrician-TRST (88% vs. 93%; p=0.04) and tended to have lower negative predictive value (66% vs. 77%; p=0.09). Emergency-TRSTs rated four French-TRST items less well than Geriatrician-TRSTs.
Conclusions
As a substitute for SEGA in the ED, the French-TRST performed quite well overall but the ED physicians detected frail patients less well than the geriatricians. Modifications of the French-TRST that may improve the diagnostic performance of ED physicians are discussed.
Autor analizira pisanje primorskih slovenskih liberalnih novina u vrijeme balkanskih ratova 1912. i 1913., prikazuje geopolitičke stavove toga političkoga kruga te ga smješta u širi kontekst sukoba ...različitih vizija jugoslavenstva. Specifičan položaj primorskih Slovenaca i geopolitičko značenje Trsta odrazili su se na naklonjenost toga dijela Slovenaca što širemu južnoslavenskom konceptu, koji je trebao biti poluga za slovensku političku emancipaciju. Isprva se taj dio Slovenaca zauzima za ujedinjenje južnoslavenskih naroda unutar Habsburške Monarhije, no analizirano razdoblje donosi preokret koji se očituje u ispuštanju habsburškoga okvira u prvom krugu balkanskih ratova. Drugi je
pak krug prouzročio isključivanje Bugarske iz južnoslavenskih koncepata, čime se dio primorskih Slovenaca priklanja užoj viziji južnoslavenske državne ideje sa Srbijom u središnjoj ulozi.
The author analyses the writings of Slovene journals from the Primorska (Slovene Littoral) region in the period of the Balkan Wars, in the years
1912 and 1913. The article presents the shift of liberal Slovenes’ attitudes towards the Yugoslav idea and places it in the broader context
of the conflict between various geopolitical ideas. The specific position of the Primorska region and Istria as well as the consequential
geopolitical importance of Trieste were reflected in the inclination of
those liberal Slovenians to the broader concept of the Yugoslav political idea, which included all South Slavic nations and was supposed
to be the leverage for Slovenian political emancipation. Initially, the
Slovene liberals, who were gathered in the political group named Edinost (Unity) in Trieste and around the journal Soča in Gorizia, favoured the idea of a third political unit within the Habsburg
Monarchy, with the ambition of including Trieste and Gorizia into that entity. However, due to fears of being left outside of that third unit, these Slovenes abandoned so called ‘trialist’ idea. The defeats of the Ottoman Empire in the first round of the Balkan Wars resulted in omitting the Habsburg context in Slovene journals from the Primorska region, while the second round caused the exclusion of Bulgaria from the
South Slavic state concepts, and pushed those Slovenes towards the narrower version of the Yugoslav idea, where Serbia was to have a central role.
U članku se analiziraju prostorna obilježja upravne zgrade šećerane u Rijeci – palače Tršćansko-riječke privilegirane kompanije, s obzirom na dvije ključne faze njezina građevnog razvoja, razdoblje ...izgradnje 1752. i obnovu nakon požara 1785. – 1786. godine. Razmatra se funkcija pojedinih etaža i prostorija u zgradi, te utvrđuju namjenski prostori za stanovanje, poslovne sadržaje i skladišta. Palača se dovodi u vezu s korpusom arhitekture reprezentativnih poslovnostambenih palača izgrađenih u Trstu u drugoj polovini 18. stoljeća, koje nose vrlo slične prostorne karakteristike, a one se mogu iščitati iz arhivskih nacrta, jer same palače uglavnom nisu sačuvane. Navedene usporedbe upućuju, nadalje, na postojanje konkretnog tipskog obrasca za prostorno rješenje zgrada poslovno-stambene namjene, bilo da ih podižu imućni trgovci za vlastito stanovanje i djelatnost, ili pak velike privilegirane kompanije koje su imale sjedišta u Trstu tijekom 18. stoljeća.
Autor je uvidom u arhivsku dokumentaciju međuratnoga razdoblja Rijeke, od 1934. do 1943. godine, te analizom objavljenih povijesnih podataka dao prikaz pokušaja osnivanja Galerije moderne umjetnosti ...u Rijeci u vrijeme kada je Rijeka s Kvarnerom bila aneksirana Kraljevini Italiji, te time postala novom provincijom Kraljevine Italije. Zahvaljujući agilnomu Riječaninu koji je živio u Milanu, začela se ideja oko formiranja Galerije moderne umjetnosti u Rijeci kao vrlo bitne institucije u kojoj bi bila predstavljena djela talijanske umjetnosti 19. i 20. stoljeća. Osnivački fundus slika za Galeriju ostvarivao se donacijama talijanskih akademika te donacijom triju slika i jedne skulpture koju je dao kralj Italije V. Emanuelle III. ne bi li podržao ovakvu inicijativu i bio primjerom drugim potencijalnim donatorima. Sva donirana djela bila su pohranjivana u Milanu kod začetnika inicijative G. A. Bottussija. Zbog geostrateške pozicije Rijeke, čin formiranja takve institucije postao je pitanjem od državnoga interesa Italije koja je u njemu vidjela način na koji bi mogla širiti svoju kulturu preko svoje granice prema Kraljevini SHS te drugim podunavskim zemljama. Započeta kao privatna inicijativa Guida Asverija Bottussija, a koja će se tijekom vremena pretvoriti u inicijativu riječke gradske administracije i drugih državnh institucija sa sjedištem u Rimu, zbog približavanja rata i ratnih okolnosti, donirana djela osnivačkoga fundusa Galerije moderne umjetnosti nikada nisu došla do Rijeke, pa se time nisu ni oformili uvjeti za njezino osnivanje u potpunosti.
V prispevku so opisane družbenozgodovinske okoliščine, trgovske poti in vsakdanjik preprodajalk s severovzhodnega istrskega podeželja, ki so v prvi polovici 20. stoletja v osrednji Istri zbirale ...jajca, jih plačevale s potrošnimi artikli – sukancem, z milom, s petrolejem, soljo, z rutami, robci idr. ter prodajale v Trstu. Našteta so žarišča jajčarstva, glavne tedenske trgovske poti in okoliščine, v katerih so se ženske oprijele tovrstne dejavnosti. V zaključku je orisana vloga preprodajalk, ki so jih v osrednji Istri poimenovali Šavrinke, pri ohranjanju izvorno etničnega poimenovanja Šavrini ter v procesih šavrinizacije severnoistrskega zaledja.
Rođen u Istri, tada dijelu prostrane Austro-Ugarske Monarhije, Fran Mandić (1851. – 1924.) završio je hrvatsku gimnaziju u Rijeci, a medicinu u Grazu i Pragu. Nakon promocije čitavu je liječničku ...karijeru proveo u Trstu, u njegovo doba glavnom gradu Austrijskog primorja. Nakon rada u bolnici, otvorio je vlastitu ordinaciju, a bio je i zdravstveni savjetnik Državnih željeznica. Čitavog je života, još od studentskih dana, sudjelovao u nastojanjima za postizanje jednakopravnosti hrvatskog naroda u Istri. Uvjeren u važnost obrazovanja, ulagao je svoje vrijeme i novac u otvaranje što većeg broja škola u Istri. Za zasluge u radu odlikovao ga je kralj, imenovan je počasnim građaninom Opatije, no najveće priznanje bio mu je ugled koji je uživao među pacijentima i članovima njihovih obitelji.
Born in Istria, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Fran Mandić (1851-1924) finished a Croatian grammar school in Rijeka and studied medicine in Graz, Austria and in Prague, Bohemia. After graduation, he settled in Trieste, a major Austrian port, where he spent his entire career. After a period in the State Hospital in Trieste, Mandić ran his own practice and held a position of medical adviser of the Austrian State Railway in Istria. Since his student days, he had championed equal political rights for the Croatian people in Istria. Aware of the importance of education, he donated his time and money for a number of new schools to open throughout Istria. For his merits he received high honours from the Emperor and an honorary Citizenship of Opatija, but the greatest recognition was the respect he earned from his patients and their families.
Low-alloyed, high-strength steels with yield strength above 1200 MPa are frequently used in the automotive industry, in order to reduce the weight of the components. However, hydrogen embrittlement ...susceptibility is often a concern for this group of materials. Hydrogen can be produced on the metal surface, as a result of electrochemical corrosion reaction during service. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the various loading procedures according to the existing technical specifications for environmental hydrogen embrittlement (EHE) testing. The hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of high strength fasteners (strength class 14.8) was tested according to the well-established testing specifications: DIN 50969-2, DIN EN ISO 7539, ASTM F1624-12 in 5 wt.-% sodium chloride solution acidified to pH 3 with hydrochloric acid. Open circuit potential measurements were carried out during the testing procedure to gain understanding of the damage process in each of the testing approaches. Under the chosen testing conditions, rising step load (RSL) testing approach, specified in ASTM F1624-12, appeared as the most sensitive method for the evaluation of the material's hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility.
