As a by-product or material used in various industries crystalline silica contaminates the air many occupational settings. If its fine particles are inhaled, they are deposited in the lungs and may ...cause the development of silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer. The goal of this study was to estimate occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in Slovenia and the associated health risks. To do that, we ran two cross-sectional studies, one to determine the number of workers at risk of occupational exposure to RCS in Slovene industries and the other to determine and classify changes in the lung radiographs of glass factory workers exposed to RCS, as a means to infer health risks for other RCS exposed workers in Slovenia. However, the first study shows that official public data on occupational exposure to silica in Slovenia are unreliable and incomplete and that company representatives strongly underestimate occupational exposure to silica. Measurements of total and silica dust are made by 8.3 % and 1.8 % of companies working with silica, respectively. The second study shows that about a third of the exposed workers had lung changes associated with silicosis. We have failed to achieve the goal of our study, as the obtained data are grossly underestimated and unreliable, but it has opened our eyes as to what needs to be improved. All companies need to systematically be informed about occupational health risks, field inspections need to be consistent, regular, and intensified, and health surveillance of all exposed workers implemented regularly.

The book comprises 14 chapters covering all the issues related to water desalination. These chapters emphasize the relationship between problems encountered with the use of feed water, the processes ...developed to address them, the operation of the required plants and solutions actually implemented. This compendium will assist designers, engineers and investigators to select the process and plant configuration that are most appropriate for the particular feed water to be used, for the geographic region considered, as well as for the characteristics required of the treated water produced. This survey offers a comprehensive, hierarchical and logical assessment of the entire desalination industry. It starts with the worldwide scarcity of water and energy, continues with the thermal - and membrane-based processes and, finally, presents the design and operation of large and small desalination plants. As such, it covers all the scientific, technological and economical aspects of this critical industry, not disregarding its environmental and social points of view. One of InTech's books has received widespread praise across a number of key publications. Desalination, Trends and Technologies (Ed. Schorr, M. 2011) has been reviewed in Corrosion Engineering, Science & Technology – the official magazine for the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, and Taylor & Francis's Desalination Publications. Praised for its “multi-faceted content which contributes to enrich it,” and described as “an essential companion...that enables the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the desalination industry,” this book is testament to the quality improvements we have been striving towards over the last twelve months.
Extensive work is a result of four year research within the international project Women's Creativity since the Modern Movement, and brings new insights into women in architecture, construction, ...design, urban planning and landscape architecture in Europe and in the rest of the world. It is divided into eight chapters that combine 116 articles on topics: A. Women’s education and training: National and international mappings~B. Women’s legacy and heritage: Protection, restoration and enhancement~C. Women in communication and professional networks~D. Women and cultural tourism~E. Women’s achievements and professional attainments: Moving boundaries~F. Women and sustainability: City and Landscape~G. Women ‘as subjects’: Documentation, methodology, interpretation and enhancement~SG. Design drawings.
The development of science is accompanied by the growth of scientific publications in the form of articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. We analysed the scientific papers of the employees of ...the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana, in the field of construction and geodesy for the period from 2003 to 2008, their citations, methods of publication and open access. The analysis was conducted in the ISI/Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar information systems. We wanted to determine how both information systems show the visibility of scientific production, specifically the number of articles and their citations, and make data comparisons. We have not found many significant differences in the information systems regarding these two elements.

Minuli teden je gradbeno podjetje Obnova iz Ljubljane zaključilo glavna dela na novi palači Metalke ob ...Dalmatinovi cesti, s katero je dobila Ljubljana novo panoramo in nove perspektive. Nova palača je doslej najvišja zgradba v Ljubljani, saj je visoka okoli 60 metrov. Skupno s kletnimi prostori meri nekaj nad 71 metrov, s tremi kletnimi etažami pa skupno 21 etaž. V kletnih prostorih, ki so v glavnem že urejena in opremljena bodo zaklonišča, transformatorska postaja, trgovina ter skladiščni prostori. V pritličju in medetaži bodo stalne izložbe, v ostalih prostorih pa bo uprava podjetja. Z aluminijasto fasado se bo zgradba Metalke uvrstila med prve tovrstne zgradbe na Balkanu. Trgovino s kletnimi prostori bodo odprli že jeseni, otvoritev pa bo februarja prihodnje leto.

Več razlag definira upravljanje znanja – knowledge management – kot zajemanje, organiziranje in shranjevanje znanja z različnimi metodami, iz različnih virov in njegovo spreminjanje v trajno ...vrednoto. Upravljanje znanja je eno od najpomembnejših načel, ki jih morajo podjetja raziskati in uporabiti, da si lahko pridobijo konkurenčno prednost, kar velja tudi za arhitekturo in gradbeništvo. Za področje gradbeništva obstajajo različni projekti upravljanja znanja. Eden takih je e-COGNOS. Njegovo bistvo so upravljanje znanja na področju gradbeništva in medsebojna odvisnost dokumentov ter združljivost med projekti in med posameznimi podjetji. V Urbanističnem inštitutu Slovenije uporabljamo zelo grobe metode upravljanja znanja in morda jih tako sploh še ne moremo imenovati. To so bolj ali manj podatkovne usluge ali upravljanje dokumentov. Upamo pa, da nam bo z novo programsko tehnologijo, kot je Microsoftov SharePoint, uspelo bolj kakovostno izpopolniti stare metode in uporabiti nakopičeno znanje.

Med krovci pohorskih bajt; panorama; oranje s volovsko vprego, domačija v hribih, prekrivanje strehe s ...lesenimi skodlami; žaganje hloda z motorno žago, cepljenje hloda s sekiro in klini, obtesavanje, izdelava skodel, polaganje na streho.
Kdor se bo napotil na izlet v prelepi del Južnega Pohorja nad Slovenskimi Konjicami, bo kmalu naletel na prijetno oblikovane pohorske domačije. Strme strehe kljubujejo vremenu v vseh letnih časih. Niti najmanjša kapljica ne prodre skozi lesene »šiklje«, s katerimi so krite.
Edina krovca za take strehe sta na Pohorju Ivan in Ludvik Kumer iz Resnika. Edina še znata pripravljati šiklje, kajti priprava in uporaba šikljev zahteva pogum in mojstrsko roko. Tudi ni brez nevarnosti plezati na visoko in strmo streho s polnim naročjem čeprav dišečih smrekovih deščic.
Za izdelavo šikljev je potrebno v prostranih pohorskih gozdovih najti zdrav, raven in negrčav smrekov les debel 80 do 100 centimetrov. Deblo nato razžagajo na 80 do 100 centimetrov dolge kose, ki jih s pomočjo posebnih lesenih klinov razcepijo v muzle. Iz »muzla« s »šikljarico« nacepi 35 do 40 deščic. Ludvik Kumer je tak mojster pri tem delu, da našiklja na dan tudi tisoč kosov. Pri tem mora izredno dobro poznati strukturo lesa. Deščice so namreč debele komaj 4 milimetre.
Šiklji morajo biti tako zloženi, kot so bili nacepljeni, sicer bi se ob pokrivanju strehe ne zjemali in streh bi zamakala. Dobro izdelani in podloženi šiklji kljubujejo tudi do 35 let. Nato jih je trebe zamenjati. Za sto metrov veliko streho je potrebnih kar osem tisoč šikljev. Pokrivanje traja štiri dni in stane 600 dinarjev. Kljub nizki ceni pa je s šiklji kritih domačij na Pohorju vse manj. Vzrok ni v pomanjkanju lesa. Le Ivan in Ludvik Kumer sta zadnja krovca. Tudi Kumarjev oča je bil znan »olcar«in pohorska korenina, saj je še pri 85. Letih upal splezati na streho in jo pokriti. Sin Ivan je krovec že 50. Let. Mlajši Ludvik ima sicer dva sinova, a nobeden ne bo »olcar«. Obema želita oče in stric v dolini lažje življenje kot sta ga živela sama sredi pohorskih gozdov.- Information:- It shows a special technique of roofing with wooden shingles in the area of Pohorje and a glimpse of peasant life, such as plowing.- Original language summary:
