National Cervical cancer Screening Program ZORA: Answers to Questions Most Frequently Asked by Women

The Slovenian national cervical cancer screening program ZORAwas established in 2003.. The Screening Registry of the ZORA program at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana is in charge of sending invitations to women to attend for screening, of running high quality database, coordinating the work process with the external associates, making analyses, and promoting and implementing the program. One of the major tasks of the Registry is to establish contacts with the users of this program, i.e. with the women and young girls who are addressing the Registry by e-mail or phone to get more information about the program. The staff involved in the program implementation has therefore made a list of the most frequent questions and also supplied the answers to these questions, and classified both into groups by subject matter, hoping that such a list will serve as a key to better understanding of the program and provide immediate and accurate answers

Influence of Synthesis-Related Microstructural Features on the Electrocaloric Effect for 0.9Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3−0.1PbTiO3 Ceramics

Despite having a very similar electrocaloric (EC) coefficient, i.e., the EC temperature change divided by the applied electric field, the 0.9Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.1PbTiO3 (PMN-10PT) ceramic prepared by mechanochemical synthesis exhibits a much higher EC temperature change than the columbite-derived version, i.e., 2.37 °C at 107 °C and 115 kV/cm. The difference is due to the almost two-times-higher breakdown field of the former material, 115 kV/cm, as opposed to 57 kV/cm in the latter. While both ceramic materials have similarly high relative densities and grain sizes (>96%, ≈5 µm) and an almost correct perovskite stoichiometry, the mechanochemical synthesis contributes to a lower level of compositional deviation. The peak permittivity and saturated polarization are slightly higher and the domain structure is finer in the mechanochemically derived ceramic. The secondary phases that result from each synthesis are identified and related to different interactions of the individual materials with the electric field: an intergranular lead-silicate-based phase in the columbite-derived PMN-10PT and MgO inclusions in the mechanochemically derived cerami

Graph-theoretic tasks in Bebras competition

V diplomski nalogi smo analizirali naloge z računalniškega tekmovanja Bober, ki se nanašajo na grafe. V prvem delu naloge smo opisali algoritme iz teorije grafov, ki jih pogosto uporabljamo v računalništvu. Nato smo pregledali naloge s tekmovanja Bober in izbrali tiste, ki so povezane s teorijo grafov. Izbrane naloge smo razvrstili v skupine na tri različne načine: najprej glede na uporabljen algoritem iz teorije grafov, nato glede na abstraktnost grafa, ki se v nalogi pojavi, na koncu pa še glede na abstraktnost same naloge.In thesis we analyzed graph-theoretic tasks in Bebras competition. First we described graph-theoretic algorithms, which are commonly used in computer science. Then we chose tasks from Bebras competition challenges which refer to graph theory and classified selected tasks in groups in three different ways: first depending on used algorithm from graph theory, then according to the abstractness of graph that appears in the task, and in the end also according to abstractness of the entire task

The Piezo-resistive MC Sensor is a Fast and Accurate Sensor for the Measurement of Mechanical Muscle Activity

A piezo-resistive muscle contraction (MC) sensor was used to assess the contractile properties of seven human skeletal muscles (vastus medialis, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius medialis, biceps femoris, erector spinae) during electrically stimulated isometric contraction. The sensor was affixed to the skin directly above the muscle centre. The length of the adjustable sensor tip (3, 4.5 and 6 mm) determined the depth of the tip in the tissue and thus the initial pressure on the skin, fatty and muscle tissue. The depth of the tip increased the signal amplitude and slightly sped up the time course of the signal by shortening the delay time. The MC sensor readings were compared to tensiomyographic (TMG) measurements. The signals obtained by MC only partially matched the TMG measurements, largely due to the faster response time of the MC sensor
