The book is the result of joint work and many years of mutual cooperation between researchers from Slovenia and Croatia. It was made as part of the transboundary project ŽIVO! Življenje – voda! (Life ...– Water!) (IPA CBC SI-HR 2007-2013), which involved the participation of authors from project partner institutions as well as invited authors who are familiar with the characteristics of the karst area of Northern Istria and the conditions there relating to drinking water supply. The monograph presents the natural features of Northern Istria, the karst and karst phenomena, karst hydrogeology, ecology and microbiology, and highlights in particular the vulnerability of the karst to various human activities. The main focus of attention is on karst water sources. In assessing their characteristics we used available knowledge of karst water on both sides of the border and supplemented it with new research on the transboundary area in question, which was based on field measurements and sampling, and chemical, microbiological and biological analysis of water. The collected findings form the basis for planning more effective monitoring of the quality of karst water sources, their protection and consequently the improvement of their quality.
Background: Information and communication technology (ICT) and paperless practices have been shown to improve “existing processes in the workplace” “as well as being an important component of modern ...primary healthcare”. The aim of our study was to analyse the attitudes of health-care professionals and patients with regard to paperless practice and the most frequently used information and communication technology tools in Slovenian primary healthcare.
Qualitative methodology using focus groups of 22 primary care physicians, 14 nurses and 18 patients.
The areas recognised by all participants as important for further information and communication technology development were: computer-supported decision making, accessibility and completeness of personal e-health data, emergency cases, support for chronic disease management, ICT related time savings, e-prescriptions and e-discharge letters. The most important identified barriers impeding the use of ICT were: the heavy workload of primary care physicians and nurses, health insurance reimbursement rules and duplication of work using both paper and electronic health records.
This study highlighted a number of strengths of ICT use in primary care as well as numerous areas where changes in procedures and improvement of ICT tools to support them are needed.
Izhodišča: Informacijsko-komunikacijska tehnologija (IKT) in brezpapirno delo lahko izboljšata obstoječe delovne procese in so pomembna sestavina sodobnega osnovnega zdravstva. Namen študije je bil analizirati stališča zdravstvenega osebja in pacientov glede brezpapirne ambulante in najpogostejše uporabljene informacijskokomunikacijske tehnologije v slovenskem osnovnem zdravstvu.
Kvalitativna metodologija fokusnih skupin z 22 zdravniki iz osnovnega zdravstva, s 14 ambulantnimi sestrami in z 18 bolniki.
Področja, ki so jih vsi udeleženci prepoznali kot pomembna za nadaljnji razvoj IKT, so: računalniško podprto odločanje, dostopnost in popolnost osebnih zdravstvenih podatkov, nujni primeri, podpora pri obravnavi kroničnih bolezni, prihranki časa z uporabo IKT, e-recept in e-odpustno pismo. Najpomembnejše ovire za uporabo IKT so: velike delovne obremenitve zdravnikov in sester v osnovnem zdravstvu, pravila zdravstvene zavarovalnice, podvajanje dela z uporabo papirnatih in elektronskih zdravstvenih kartotek.
Študija je poudarila številne prednosti uporabe IKT v osnovnem zdravstvu in tudi številna področja, na katerih so potrebni spremembe v procesih in izboljšanje podpornih orodij IKT.
Vse večjemu delu slovenskih kmetij predstavlja kmetovanje čedalje bolj možnost za pridobivanje dopolnilnega dohodka in za uveljavitev drugotnih interesov (rodbinska tradicija, možnost za preživljanje ...prostega časa ipd.). Registracija dopolnilnih dejavnosti na kmetiji spodbuja postopen razvoj podjetništva na podeželju, ker temeljijo predvsem na rabi endogenih potencialov kmetije in podeželja ter prispevajo k zagotavljanju lokalne oskrbe s hrano in storitvami za potrebe lokalne skupnosti.
Contextual factors of home care utilization in Slovenia Background: Andersen's behavioural model for predicting the use of health care services has already been used to explain the utilization of ...home care services or other community type services. The model includes predisposing and enabling factors and illness level. We will use the enabling factors to explain variability in the utilization of home care services across Slovenian municipalities. Methods: Multiple classification analysis is performed on municipalities as units of analysis. The dependent variable is the number of users of home care among 1000 residents of the municipality (both 65+). Several enabling factors are included in the model, which measure the characteristics of municipalities and their residents. Results: Enabling factors explain 13% of the variability in the number of home care users. Significantly more users are found in municipalities that are more urban, have a lower number of residents per km2, have a higher proportion of students and percentage of active population. Organizational factors (the price of services and the provision of services during afternoons, weekends and holidays)are not related to the number of users, and nor is the number of residents receiving financial social assistance. Conclusions: The study revealed important determinants of the utilization of home care services in Slovenian municipalities. The lack of a significant relationship between the number of users and organizational factors can be attributed to the novelty of this program in Slovenia. We stress the need to conduct more research in this field, especially the collection of data on the individual level of users. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
Članek podaja pregled sodobnih konceptualnih izhodišč za analizo in razumevanje dostopnosti stanovanja v sodobnem slovenskem in evropskem prostoru. Najprej obravnava rezultate »tranzicije«, ki še ...dandanes določajo neugodni položaj stanovanjske oskrbe v MOL. Sledi pregled pristopov k obravnavi stanovanjske prikrajšanosti v sodobnem evropskem prostoru, zlasti v kontekstu usmeritev evropskih politik. Vprašanje stanovanjske oskrbe in prikrajšanosti umesti tudi v koncept »konstelacije blaginje« in razmerja med državo, trgom in družino kot njenimi ključnimi tvorci; posebej izpostavi pomen sorodstva in njegovo vlogo v stanovanjskih strategijah, ki jih prebivalstvo uporablja v našem prostoru.
V članku so na primeru občine Bistra prikazani vzroki in sodobni suburbanizacijski procesi v zagrebškem obmestju. Posebno težišče je dano proučevanju priseljevanja kot izrazitemu procesu demografske ...suburbanizacije Zagreba ter interakciji med Bistro in Zagrebom/Zaprešičem v funkciji dela, oskrbe in zadovoljevanja kulturnih potreb prebivalcev Bistre.
V funkcijski zgradi Ljubljane so v ospredju oskrbne dejavnosti, ki oblikujejo svojo novo mestno omrežje. Posebna pozornost velja štirim velikim oskrbnim središčem in soodvisnosti njihovega razvoja s ...trgovsko funkcijo v mestnem središču. To so potrdili tudi rezultati ankete, ki so izpostavili tudi vzroke takšnim razvojnim procesom. Ti so v korist velikih nakupovalnih središč v Šiški, Mostah, na Rakovniku in Viču.
Ljubljansko polje is a juncture of numerous human activities. The source of drinking water for about 300,000 residents, it holds one of the most important bodies of groundwater in the country. ...Unfortunately, the influences of urbanization, agriculture and industry that threaten and burden it are reflected in the quality and quantity of the groundwater.

Extended description:
Onesnaženje pitne vode s pesticidi. Popoldne je republiški sanitarni inšpektor izdal odločbo o prepovedi uporabe vode iz črpališča Skorba blizu Ptuja. V vodi je namreč do ...desetkrat več pesticidov, kot je dopustno. V teh izrednih razmerah jim zdaj primanjkuje še cistern, s katerimi bi razvažali pitno vodo.
The clip is showing another in a series of ecological disasters - the contamination of drinking water with pesticides. In the afternoon of the 21st of July 1989, the republican sanitary inspector issued a prohibition on the use of water from reservoirs in Skorba near Ptuj. In fact, the water contains ten times more pesticides than permissible. In those exceptional circumstances the authorities were facing a huge problem regarding a lack of tanks in order to distribute drinking water.
Information:
Ecological disaster in 1989, which affected the people of Ptuj and its environs. Fire-fighters distributed water supplies in water tanks and plastic reservoirs filled with water.
Original language summary:
Ekološka katastrofa je leta 1989 prizadela prebivalce ptujskega območja. Gasilci razvažajo vodo, delijo vodo s cistern in polnijo plastičnih zbiralnike z vodo.
