    In my diploma thesis, I introduced bronze casting according to the process of a lost wax model, and how they met with bronze casting in the past. Bronze and related alloys are the oldest and still the most popular metals for casting metal sculptures. I investigated historical periods that significantly influenced the technology of bronze casting statues and described how the Egyptians, the ancient Greeks, the Chinese, how the technology of bronze casting developed in the Renaissance and during the time of J. V. Valvasor. In the practical part of my diploma thesis, I presented the process of lost wax casting, from the beginning (modeling in clay), to the application of the patina, in which the statue gets the final image

    Background: Despite optimum treatment, patients who experience myocardial infarction are still at high risk for future events. Objective: We evaluated the effect of 30 days of treatment with combination of low, subtherapeutic doses of fluvastatin and valsartan on arterial stiffness in patients after myocardial infarction, a therapy that has not been used yet. Methods: Fourteen male patients with a history of myocardial infarction were enrolled into a pilot double-blind randomized controlled study. They were allocated to receive 10 mg fluvastatin and 20 mg valsartan or placebo for 30 days in addition to their regular pharmacotherapy. Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity was measured on inclusion, after 30 days, and after 3 months. Results: Mean (SD) carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity decreased significantly in the treatment group after 30 days and persisted at lower values after 3 months (from 8.4 [1.5] m/sec to 7.3 [1.1] m/sec to 7.2 [0.8] m/sec; P < 0.05). The 95% CI for decrease after 30 days in the treatment group was 0.5–1.6. Only nonsignificant changes were observed in the control group. Serum lipid levels and arterial blood pressure did not change significantly in any group. Conclusions: The treatment resulted in a significant and sustained improvement of arterial stiffness in male patients with a history of myocardial infarction, which highlights the need for further study of this new approach

    Razstava študentskih del pri predmetih Osnove keramike in kreativna keramika v študijskem letu 2013/14

    Razstava torej ponuja pogled na dela v keramiki prvega letnika, ki so številčnejša, kot tudi drugega letnika, katerih del je manj, vendar tudi po velikosti nekoliko izstopajo. Posebej je potrebno pohvaliti dve deli, ki ju žal ni na razstavi, saj sta bili odbrani za protokolarni namen Pedagoške fakultete. To sta deli Kristine Gruden in Eve Rak . Ne nazadnje pohvala velja vsem, ki prispevajo, da se keramika razvija in napreduje na naši fakulteti in izven nje, kar dokazujejo uspehi naših bivših študentov

    Military dictionary by students of defence studies

    No full text
    The military dictionary by students of defense sciences was created during the course Slovenian language and Slovenian military idioms (2012/13 and 2013/14) at the Faculty of Social Sciences. It was created by second-year students under the supervision of Dr. Nataša Logar and Dr. Erik Kopač. The starting point for the selection of terms was the Military Doctrine (2006) and the Military Logistics Doctrine (2008). The dictionary consists of 192 terms with definitions and English equivalents. The dictionary is distributed in XML using the TBX (TermBase eXchange) standard for representing and exchanging information from termbases
