Remake of a Magento web store content management system into system for employees' attendance tracking

This thesis comprises a rework of the Magento e-commerce content management system into an employee attendance tracking system. In the first part of the thesis the reasons for selecting Magento system are presented and also some already existing web solutions for employee attendance tracking are shown. Next is the presentation of the Magento system, that is, principles of its MVC architecture. After that follows the description of the tools on which Magento is based upon and some of the tools we used to make our employee attendance tracking software better. The second part describes the development process, which starts with the reduction of the Magento system, to a more general system for web based application development. With the help of the implementation process of our main module, which serves the purpose of the employee attendance tracking system, we describe the module development process in Magento system and present an example of extending a core functionality. Next, the presentation of the remaining functionalities implemented for our employee attendance tracking system follows, and the description of the design, which attempts to follow the newest trends in web application development. In the last part we present the goals of the future development of the application, where some of them are based on already existing functionalities of the Magento system

Analysis of steel building considering membrane action of slab during fire

V diplomski nalogi je obravnavan jekleni poslovni objekt s sovprežno konstrukcijo. Naloga zajema dimenzioniranje tipicne medetažne konstrukcije obravnavanega objekta in dimenzioniranje ekscentricnih povezij za prevzem potresne obtezbe. Dimenzionirana tipicna medetažna konstrukcija je nato požarno analizirana z enostavno metodo požarno odpornega projektiranja, s katero upostevamo ugoden vpliv membranskega delovanja na nosilnost stropov med požarom.The graduation thesis discusses steel Office building with a composite structure. It includes the design of a typical middle floor structure of the building and the design of eccentric braces which carry seismic load. Apart from that, fire analysis of the typical middle floor is performed with a simple method od fire-resistant design by which a beneficial effect of the membrane on the capacity ceilings during fire was taken into account

Predictive value of preoperative albumin-bilirubin score and other risk factors for short-term outcomes after open pancreatoduodenectomy

Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy represents a complex procedure involving extensive organ resection and multiple alimentary reconstructions. It is still associated with high morbidity, even in high-volume centres. Prediction tools including preoperative patient-related factors to preoperatively identify patients at high risk for postoperative complications could enable tailored perioperative management and improve patient outcomes. Aim: To evaluate the clinical significance of preoperative albumin-bilirubin score and other risk factors in relation to short-term postoperative outcomes in patients after open pancreatoduodenectomy. Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent open pancreatic head resection (pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy or Whipple resection) for various pathologies during a five-year period (2017-2021) in a tertiary care setting at University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Slovenia and Cattinara Hospital, Trieste, Italy. Short-term postoperative outcomes, namely, postoperative complications, postoperative pancreatic fistula, reoperation, and mortality, were evaluated in association with albumin-bilirubin score and other risk factors. Multiple logistic regression models were built to identify risk factors associated with these short-term postoperative outcomes. Results: Data from 347 patients were collected. Postoperative complications, major postoperative complications, postoperative pancreatic fistula, reoperation, and mortality were observed in 52.7%, 22.2%, 23.9%, 21.3%, and 5.2% of patients, respectively. There was no statistically significant association between the albumin-bilirubin score and any of these short-term postoperative complications based on univariate analysis. When controlling for other predictor variables in a logistic regression model, soft pancreatic texture was statistically significantly associated with postoperative complications [odds ratio (OR): 2.09; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.19-3.67]; male gender (OR: 2.12; 95%CI: 1.15-3.93), soft pancreatic texture (OR: 3.06; 95%CI: 1.56-5.97), and blood loss (OR: 1.07; 95%CI: 1.00-1.14) were statistically significantly associated with major postoperative complications; soft pancreatic texture was statistically significantly associated with the development of postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR: 5.11; 95%CI: 2.38-10.95); male gender (OR: 1.97; 95%CI: 1.01-3.83), soft pancreatic texture (OR: 2.95; 95%CI: 1.42-6.11), blood loss (OR: 1.08; 95%CI: 1.01-1.16), and resection due to duodenal carcinoma (OR: 6.58; 95%CI: 1.20-36.15) were statistically significantly associated with reoperation. Conclusion: The albumin-bilirubin score failed to predict short-term postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. However, other risk factors seem to influence postoperative outcomes, including male sex, soft pancreatic texture, blood loss, and resection due to duodenal carcinoma

Indigenous Peoples and research: self-determination in research governance

Indigenous Peoples are reimagining their relationship with research and researchers through greater self-determination and involvement in research governance. The emerging discourse around Indigenous Data Sovereignty has provoked discussions about decolonizing data practices and highlighted the importance of Indigenous Data Governance to support Indigenous decision-making and control of data. Given that much data are generated from research, Indigenous research governance and Indigenous Data Governance overlap. In this paper, we broaden the concept of Indigenous Data Sovereignty by using the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance to discuss how research legislation and policy adopted by Indigenous Peoples in the US set expectations around recognizing sovereign relationships, acknowledging rights and interests in data, and enabling Indigenous Peoples' participation in research governance

Factors affecting local government adoption of wildland-urban interface fire policies

Disastrous wildland-urban interface fires are an increasing problem throughout the United States. Local government is ultimately responsible for protection of property and life threatened by these fires. This study attempts to identify the factors that influence local policy-making in this arena. Information for this study was gathered from a review of the natural hazard and public policy literature as well as three case studies. The case study areas are Orange County, California; Oakland California; and Eastern Pima County, Arizona. Eight factors which influence local government policy-making were identified from the literature and confirmed through interviews. These factors include: acknowledgement; authority; participation; timing; cost; political influences; and liability. This study concluded that natural hazard research can be applied to wildland-urban interface fire. It also concluded that while there is increasing awareness of the wildland-urban interface fire problem there appears to be a need for a change of approach
