Informacijski sistem za znanstvene raziskave mikroklime v kraških jamah: Primer Postojnske jame, Slovenija
The paper presents the construction and operation of a cave information system on the example of the Postojnska jama cave. It thoroughly describes the construction of the basic modules of the cave information system, such as an automatic cave measuring station with sensors for measuring air temperature, air flow and CO2 concentration, and a central unit for collecting, saving, processing and displaying data. The system provides quality automatic measurements for the scientific study of the micrometeorology of karst caves. Its construction is based on good practices stemming from many years of experience in taking measurements in the external atmosphere and in karst caves. The paper is rich and comprehensive guideline for automatic cave measuring system construction for scientific and tourist management purposes.V članku na primeru Postojnske jame predstavimo izdelavo in delovanje jamskega informacijskega sistema. Podrobno opišemo izdelavo osnovnih gradnikov sistema. Mednje spadajo jamska merilna postaja s senzorji za merjenje temperature, vetra in koncentracije CO2 ter centralna enota za zbiranje, procesiranje in prikaz podatkov. Sistem zagotavlja kakovostne avtomatske meritve za znanstvene raziskave jamske mikroklime. Zgradba sistema temelji na dolgoletnih izkušnjah iz okoljskih meritev v jamskem in zunanjem okolju. Članek je tudi priročnik za izgradnjo avtomatskih merilnih sistemov za raziskovalne namene in za podporo pri upravljanju turističnih jam
Health geography in case of Zasavje: Linking of atmospheric air pollution and respiratory diseases data
The aim of the study was to assess the association between atmospheric air pollution and respiratory diseases in children on the level of small spatial units in the Zasavje. The health and environmental data were obtained for the period between January 1 and December 31, 2011. Studied small spatial units were designed on the basis of estimated level of atmospheric air pollution and digital maps and boundaries of local communities and settlements. The impact of atmospheric air pollution on respiratory diseases was analysed by using the Bayesian models. Considering the identified deficiencies, the presented methodolgy can often be used to identify areas with a higher health risks
9 th Int. Conf. on Harmonisation within Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling for Regulatory Purposes 7.06 NEURAL NETWORKS BASED OZONE FORECASTING
Ozone air pollution is becoming more important in the urban environment in Slovenia. The first automatic measurements of ozone in Slovenia were installed more than ten years ago. Since then the measuring network increased and presently covers regions where highest values are expected
