Sodišču pridružena mediacija se kot alternativna metoda reševanja sporov vse bolj uveljavlja kot področje dela z lastnim teoretičnim in praktičnim znanjem, lastnimi načeli in osnovnimi pravili. ...Mediacija je vzpostavila lastno znanje, ki temelji na študijah, razvrstitvi primerov in analizi rezultatov. V prispevku bomo preverili, ali lahko glede na razvoj mediacije v Sloveniji govorimo o poklicu mediatorja in ga opredelimo kot strokovnega nosilca postopka mediacije. Najprej bomo sodišču pridruženo mediacijo in mediatorje, ki mediirajo v sodišču pridruženi mediaciji, teoretsko opredeliti ter s pomočjo intervjujev s strokovnjaki za mediacijo in mediatorji v nadaljevanju preverili, kakšno je njihovo mnenje o mediatorjih in sodišču pridruženi mediaciji. Proučili bomo tudi pravno podlago sodišču pridružene mediacije tako v Sloveniji kot Evropski uniji. Glede na ugotovitve bomo sklenili, da je pravna ureditev sodišču pridružene mediacije v Sloveniji dobra in da lahko o mediatorjih sodišču pridružene mediacije govorimo kot o strokovnih nosilcih mediacijskega postopka.
To explore the effect of pulse duration on the micro-morphology and mechanical properties of laser-welded glass joints, a glass welding experiment was carried out. The microstructure of the molten ...layer with different pulse durations was shown by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The pores and distribution characteristics were analyzed, and the porosity variation rule of the welding layer for different pulse durations was obtained. The line-scan analysis of the joint interface was carried out with a D8-Advance type crystal X-ray diffractometer, and the relationship between the thickness of the reactive wetting layer and the pulse duration was obtained. The hardness and welding strength of the laser-welded glass joints were obtained with a Vickers hardness tester and an electronic universal testing machine. This study can provide a theoretical and experimental basis for the laser welding of glass.
Patient satisfaction is an important indicator of the quality of care provided. Evaluating women's satisfaction with childbirth is essential to improving obstetric care and ensuring a positive ...experience for mothers and newborns. The tools used to measure women's satisfaction with childbirth are very heterogeneous and multidimensional. Assessment tools used in practice should be tested and meet characteristics that are consistently validated.The aim is to identify currently available instruments measuring women's satisfaction with childbirth and to evaluate their structure, content and psychometric properties.
A systematic search for sources was carried out according to the criteria set. For the included studies, psychometric properties were assessed in accordance with the principles of the guideline for completing systematic reviews of patient-reported outcome measures, COSMIN.
The review included 31 studies that reported the psychometric properties of six measurement instruments (questionnaires, scales). Content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, reliability and cross-cultural validity were assessed for the included studies. The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ/CEQ2) and Birth Satisfaction Scale - Revised (BSS-R) were the most commonly used questionnaires in the studies.
Thorough testing of tools measuring women's satisfaction with childbirth, and adapting them to cultural and social contexts, is still essential. It is crucial that valid and reliable questionnaires are available for midwives in practice, for use in research, to inform clinical practice and for the results to help develop the services offered.
This study enhances the strength of the Al6061 alloy by adding Ti in the form of a rod using a thermomechanical process, which would be useful in making structures for aerospace and structural ...members. Two different properties of the material are joined together to form a new bimetallic material. Softer Al-6061 is used as a sleeve, and grade-II Ti is used as a core. They were prepared with a co-extrusion process at a temperature of 400 °C with different ratios of 2:1 and 2:0.5. The prepared substrates are analysed for characterization, hardness, tensile strength, and corrosion. The development of the diffusion layer is observed at the boundary of the Al-Ti material, and the bonding is improved. Compared to an aluminium alloy and a 2:1 bimetal composite, the co-extruded Al-Ti with a ratio of 2:0.5 bimetal composite ratio shows a better microstructure, mechanical, and tribological properties. It is concluded that the co-extrusion of Ti and Al is an efficient way to devise new composites with mechanical properties of 14% and 19%, respectively.
Porous cobalt (Co) microspheres were successfully synthesized via a facile surfactant-free solvothermal route. These microspheres have an average diameter of about 2 µm, assembled by many primary Co ...nanosheets. A possible formation mechanism of porous Co microspheres is discussed. The magnetic hysteresis loop shows a ferromagnetic feature of porous Co microspheres and the saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercivity (Hc) are 115.3 J/T·kg and 6.883 kA/m, respectively.
First-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) are used to calculate the structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of the supersaturated solid-solution AgNi10 alloy, ...applied mainly to electrical contact materials. In this work, for the exchange-correlation energy, the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional is used. The calculated structural and electronic properties of supersaturated solid-solution AgNi10 alloys show that the occupation of Ni in the Ag lattice is ordered. All single-crystal elastic stiffness constants of the energetically and mechanically optimized stable AgNi10 model are calculated using the finite strain method and using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximation. Various anisotropic indices like the universal anisotropic index, shear anisotropic index, directional dependence of Young’s modulus, bulk modulus and others are calculated to study the elastic anisotropy. The strong anisotropy in the elastic properties of AgNi10 was confirmed. Phonon dispersions were carried out, showing that the AgNi10 crystal has dynamic stability. The Debye temperature is calculated from the elastic data by estimating the average sound velocity in the AgNi10. Furthermore, the vibrational thermodynamic properties (free energy, enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity) of AgNi10 are obtained successfully.
ABSTRACT Introduction The Patient Evaluation Measure (PEM) is a region-specific patient reported outcome measure (PROM) for hand and wrist disorders, first introduced in English for patients with ...hand surgery in 1995. The purpose of the study was to assess the psychometric properties of the translated and cross-culturally adapted Slovenian version of PEM (PEM-Slo). Methods The study was designed as a single-centre observational prospective study conducted from July 2020 to March 2021. The psychometric evaluation was performed on fifty-one patients with miscellaneous hand and wrist disorders. Reliability was tested for internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Convergent and divergent validity, responsiveness, floor and ceiling effect, and interpretability with the determination of minimal detectable change (MDC) and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) were assessed. Results The PEM-Slo has excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α 0.932) and good to excellent test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.874). Convergent validity was proved with high to moderate correlations of PEM-Slo with DASH, grip strength and self-care, usual activities, and pain EQ-5D-5L subscales, whereas no correlation of PEM-Slo with EQ-5D-5L mobility and anxiety/depression subscale confirmed divergent validity. The PEM-Slo responsiveness was high (standardised response mean=1.42, effect size=1.25). MDC was 18.01 and MCID was 17.31. No floor or ceiling effect was found. Conclusion The PEM-Slo is a reliable, valid and responsive PROM for Slovenian-speaking patients with hand and wrist disorders.
A new refractory alloy, HfMoNbTiCr, was obtained by replacing Zr with Cr or Mo in the HfMoNbTiZr or HfNbTiCrZr alloys using vacuum arc melting. The phase components, microstructures and compressive ...properties of the alloy in the as-cast and annealed states were investigated. The results showed that the phase components changed from a single BCC phase in HfMoNbTiZr and BCC+Laves phases in HfNbTiCrZr to multiple phases – primarily two BCC phases and two cubic Laves phases – in HfMoNbTiCr. Notably, the yield and ultimate compressive strength of the as-cast alloy significantly increased from 1719 and 1803 MPa to 1851 and 2489 MPa, without a decrease in the ductility. The stress fields induced by Mo and the Cr-containing Laves phases were responsible for the enhanced strength, while the stiff network-like framework composed of intrinsically-strong Cr-containing Laves phases may have played a vital role in retaining the ductility.
