It is the mission of Alma Mater Europaea to use all academic resources, material and human re-ELEŽBD sources for sustainable development and peace in Europe. O UN Embracing Digital Transformation for a Sustainable and Ethical Future is the place where Euro-DOR pean science and arts leaders and scholars are presenting the answers to the challenges for the AN people in this turbulent time. At the same time, we are all looking to exchange our experiences ED and knowledge and to present the answers to our students from the European sciences and arts leaders and scholars. CA Z M EN The conference It’s About People is addressing three different panels at the international scien-FER tific and scholarly level (27), at expert level (13) and student level (7). Additionally, conference NO addresses many round tables and discussions for specific and current topics. On the conference A K there are over 233 speakers altogether that are participating in 16 thematic areas and 49 pan-EN els. There are several 1000 registered participants from 32 countries from all continents which STVN I would like to welcome at the conference, warm welcome also to our Alma Mater Europaea AN students. 9.

I sincerely welcome the efforts of the organisers, who have ENC been creating, year after year in the last ten years, a venue where perspectives, knowledge and E W skills meet, shape and connect. For years, I have been a supporter of this now traditional forum ITH I that calls for solutions based on science and innovation. NT This year’s meeting comes at a time when much of humanity wonders above all whether we ERN are really not able to resolve our differences in some other way rather than through violence or ATI even war. Has it been an illusion to believe that with the development of science and technology, ONA and art and culture in particular, we have progressed to the point where we can settle all our L P relations peacefully? The ethical challenges of the digital transformation were one of the most ART important issues a month ago, but now it seems that the aforementioned question has become a ICIP priority. If we find the right answer to it, we will find it easier to deal with other issues. ATIO Digital technology is changing people’s lives. Those who are not fast, responsive and nimble lag N A behind. Finding the right balance between technological and social development in the digital LL A transformation of individual areas of society is therefore crucial. The ongoing changes need to be BO embraced, understood and shaped for the benefit of society. For the benefit of the community. UT P Development must go hand in hand with solidarity and humanity to enable the humanisation of EO technology and prevent the dehumanisation of society. PLE: R I wish you every success in your work and an enjoyable event. Thank you.

O A N CT F This conference carries a simple yet profound title, it‘s about people. Allow me to add, it‘s about S ERE the Ukraine, and its freedom-loving people that are, at this very moment, fighting and dying for NCE W the very ideals that the European Union was founded upon. The brutal war, raging in the Ukraine, I is a powerful reminder that modern technologies can be turned against humanity. TH IN Embracing an ethically driven digital transformation is therefore more important than ever beTER fore. We need to strengthen our defenses against propaganda misinformation and disinforma-NAT tion. These tools are right now being used by Putin’s criminal regime to create chaos, spread con-IO fusion and stifle our democracies. NAL P I‘m proud that the recent Slovenian EU presidency reached an agreement on Digital Services Act, AR which paves the way towards a safer and more transparent internet. At the same time, we need TICI to expand our cyber defenses by creating a unified European cyber shield. This shield should be PAT powered by a joint European cyber security unit, which would protect public institutions, busi-ION A nesses, and citizens, all across the EU. LL A Dear friends, with great power comes great responsibility. Digital transformation has been a BO force for good in a number of areas, from medicine and education to communication. We should UT P never doubt its limitless potential to save and improve human lives around the world. But we EO need clear rules and effective protection to safeguard the very ideas, we hold so dear. Let us PLE therefore work together to defend the world that is free, democratic, and founded upon human : R dignity. This is the world that the Ukraine represents and fights for today. ELEV I wish you all a productive and inspiring conference. ANCE O F SCIENCE A ND E DUCATION 25 JA KEYNOTE ADDRESSES N ŽEVA ZETKOV AR Prof. Dr. Mindy Chen-Wishart, Dean, University of Oxford, Faculty of Law B IK POV ZO N N I R After the murder of George Floyd, institutions around the world have been quick to self-certify STI I ZBO O as anti-racist. It’s easy to oppose the crassest forms of racism happening elsewhere; but much NA harder to see and address our own institutional and individual behaviours that perpetuate more N subtle forms of racism. We all have unconscious biases that manifest in inadvertent but injurious CA ZN structures and behaviours. Will we do the uncomfortable work of listening to racialized minorities, transcending our subjectivity, and working towards justice and flourishing for all?

Z 26 Maroš Šefčovič, Vice-President for Interinstitutional Relations and Foresight, European B 9 OOK th Commission SC O IE F N A TI B F Greetings from Brussels, S IC C T It is a pleasure to be speaking to you today via video message. R O A N CT F S ER We will look at how digitalisation can help us shape the Europe of tomorrow, that we want to ENC see. Our world is changing rapidly. We see a number of mega trends, happening around us, such E W as climate change, increasing pressure on democracy and values, shifts in demography and chal-ITH I lenges of the global order, shown by the horrific Russian invasion of the Ukraine. NTE The ongoing digital transformation is having a momentous impact on our lives. We are living RN in a new post-industrial era. And looking ahead, towards 2050, technological acceleration and ATIO digitalization are set to transform whole areas of our society and economies. This is already hap-NA pening. The Covid-19 pandemic has rapidly accelerated home schooling and work. The European L PA industry is already benefitting from this mega trend. RTI The EU is the technological champion in advanced manufacturing, materials and data services. CIPAT The European businesses deliver many critical enablers to global production lines. But the tech-IO nological change also provides us with a variety of challenges. For example: 50% of current jobs, N A globally speaking, will be automated in the future with significant differences across countries LL A and sectors. At the same time, many new jobs, including green ones, will appear. But they will BO require new skills. This is why we need more initiatives like our European battery academy which UT P will help close the skills gap in the fast growing European battery industry. An estimated 800,000 EOP extra workers will be needed to be reskilled and upskilled by 2025, this is a vital endeavour, but LE: R thanks to the work of the European battery alliance, which was founded nearly 5 years ago, Eu-E rope is now a global battery hotspot. LEVA By the end of the last year, the total level of investments along the entire battery value chain NCE O reached an impressive 127bln Euros. At current pace, we are set to meet close to 90% of demand F S for batteries by 2030, enough for up to 11 million cars per year, cementing our position among CI the global leaders in mobility. ENCE A In light of challenges and opportunities, brought to us by challenges and digitalization, the best N strategy is to take action in the form of the strategy forsight. President von der Leyen recognized D E this even before the pandemic, which is why she gave me a specific responsibility for strategic DUC forsight as part of my mandate as Vice-president of the European Commission. Part of our work ATI in this field has been our annual strategic forsight report. The second edition, published last year, ON focused on these megatrends and highlighted ten areas of action where the EU should boost its open strategic autonomy, contributing to our geopolitical resilience. Among these areas were strengthening our capacity in data management, artificial intelligence and cutting edge technologies. And the recent European Chip’s act shows that our work on strategic forsight is already having a direct impact on the European Commission’s priorities and policy making. Through mobilising over 43bln EUR of private investment, we managed to innovate a state of the art EU ecosystem for semi-conductors, which develops new markets and prevents supply shortages. Technological advancements, however, are dependent on access to critical raw materials. Without them, it will be impossible to meet the Paris agreement goals and to preserve Europe’s leading economic position by achieving strategic autonomy in all green and digital ecosystems. I am not overstating it when I say that securing supplies of critical raw materials is a strategic security question for Europe. Europe has close to 260 deposits of key battery materials as well as state of the art technologies and necessary expertise for their responsible and sustainable exploration. However, we must scale-up our primary and secondary critical raw materials industry. And we must make Europe more attractive for the development of sustainable raw materials projects while respecting the highest environmental standards. For that it is necessary to urgently identify the most strategic raw material projects in Europe and together with our partner countries, accelerate and streamline our permit procedures, while ensuring they are in compliance with EU environmental legislation and with the highest transparency and pub-27 lic engagement standards. We need to secure public funding to ensure lift-off for raw material JA projects and leverage financing from the market. And finally, we must enhance our capacities to N monitor global supply potential crisis and to act. ŽEVA ZETKOV A Dear friends, the war in our neighbourhood has left us all deeply shaken. Our thoughts are with RB all brave Ukrainians who are fighting and defending the country resolutely against invasion. But IK POV ZO N even as we unite as one Europe to support their fight, we should be careful not to ignore the N I R long-term perspective and work towards making our free and democratic Europe more resilient STI I ZBO O and more able to shape our own future whatever challenges we might face.

You’ll find different domains, service mobility, energy, health sys-NCE W tems, and similar which must be connected by smart technologies IT We do not have to go to Asia, to find smart tehnologies, for there are already many countries in H IN Europe that are highly developed in this sense. Considering the current problems with the energy TER in Europe and with respect to various energy resouces, we must decrease the prices and incre-NAT ase the efficiency. This means that we have to consider smart grids integrated power delivery IO infrastructure, with Unified Communication and control network in order to provide right infor-NAL P mation to the right entities at the right time. And with respect to another great challenge – the A pandemics, we need intelligent infrastructures of health care and big data in order to raise the RTIC efficiency and to decrease our costs. IPAT Where lies the challenge? Digital tools have a sustainable roadmap of education and that means ION A that we have to develop infrastructure. It is not sufficient to have only engineers, computer scien-L tists or physicists which construct only single machines. They have to develop infrastructure and L A B infrastructure means people, from humanities to social scientists. OUT PEOPLE: RELEVANCE O F SCIENCE A ND E DUCATION 29 JA CONTRIBUTION OF EACH ACADEMY TO THE DIGITAL N TRANSFORMATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND ŽEVA ZETKOV AR ETHICAL FUTURE IN EUROPE – PLENARY SESSION 1 B IK POV ZO N N I R Prof. Dr. Jan Wörner, President, Acatech - Deutsche Akademie der Technikwissenschaften STI I ZBO ONAN Beyond the health issues brought about by the Covid-19 crisis, something positive came out of CA ZN it, namely the digital transformation, which really came out with great speed during the crisis. The aspects of digital transformation that we see today are new roles, new structures, per-ELEVA formance-oriented organisations, new processes and new opportunities. How is the ACATECH E: R dealing with this? We are looking at the global challenges: climate change, migration, mobility, R communication, energy, shortage of resources, demographic development, conflicts and cata-A GEK strophies… I don’t have a priorty list because I believe all of them are important. We need global VLO cooperation for that. We have to be open and cooperative. Competition is a driver for it. A Č Using the digital transformation will also change the way we work. There are new options and O Z new opportunities now. In the past, this was done a certain way. But now, with the digital transformation, we can use this model for many applications. ELEŽBD My final message for this conference was not written by me but by Antoine de Saint Exupery: As O UN for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it. DOR Meaning that we should not try to predict what will happen in ten, twenty or thirty years, but we AN should make it possible for people to develop the future in the best way possible.

Z 30 Prof. Dr. Felix Unger, Honorary president, European Academy of Sciences and Arts B 9 OOK th Salzburg SC O IE F N A TI B F Let us have a look at the different side of the human dimension. The human dimension has S IC C T many different facets. When we look at the human dimension, this is not only the Artificial In-R O A N C telligene but also the logical dimension which needs to be considered. This shows us how the T F S ER curve of possibilities is affecting our culture and chaning the picture, bringing new possibilities ENC also to curing patients. E W ITH INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION A LL A BOUT PEOPLE: RELEVANCE O F SCIENCE A ND E DUCATION 31 Prof. Dr. Ivo Šlaus, Honorary president, World Academy of Art & Science JA N We live in the world with about 2,000 different cultures. And we need all of them, because it ŽEVA ZETKOV AR is impossible to solve all the problems we have within only one culture. This is not as easy as B IK POV it was for example in physics, where one person at that time, Albert Einstein, was capable of ZO N N I R formulating the general theory of relativity. The cultural diversity is as important as biodiversity. The emphasis of prof. Chen’s contribution in this sense was focused on the last two words STI I ZBO ON of this year’s conference title, namely the “Ethical Future”. For the future to be sustainable, it AN has to be ethical and empathy needs to be emphasized. When we look back in all our cultures, CA Z there is one rule, sometimes called “golden rule”, which says “don’t do to others what you N would not want to be done to you”. ELEVA Digital transformation is major change in what we call “technology procedure protocols”. Here E: R we are talking about something much more significant; much more overwhelming than for R instance the discovery of the lense, X-rays etc. It’s not only the material goods, but a number A G of things which we could summarize under the one word: empathy.

CIPATION A LL A BOUT PEOPLE: RELEVANCE O F SCIENCE A ND E DUCATION 33 JA DEMOGRAPHY – PLENARY SESSION 2 N ŽEVA ZETKOV AR Dubravka Šuica, Vice-President for Democracy and Demography, European Comission B IK POV ZO N N I R Dear ladies and gentlemen, STI I ZBO ONA My sincere thanks for the invitation to address you today on the subject of demographic change N and in particular ageing in the European Union. By coming together today, we are sending a CA ZN strong message. The European Union is going through a profound transformation. It is true that climate change ELEVA and digitalisation are key drivers. But demographic change is, too. It may be less visible and si-E: RR lent, but it impacts all of us. Demographic change will gain in prominence over the coming years A G as the European Union’s ageing population steadily increases. In my role as Vice-President for EKV Democracy and Demography, I focus on the whole life cycle, from the rights of children to those LO of older people. Ageing brings both, challenges and opportunities. Today, 20% of the Union’s A Č population is above 65 years old. By 2070, it will be 30%. The share of people above 80 will likely O Z double, reaching 13% by 2070. ELEŽB Addressing demographic change is key to building a fairer, more resilient society. This is why ad-D dressing the challenges and opportunities of demographic change is a priority for this European O UN Commission. As we are learning to live with the pandemic and finding a way out of it, we must DOR not lose sight of a remarkable development. Never before have so many Europeans been enjoy-AN ing such long and healthy lives. This is indicative of the success and strength of our social market ED economy. According to our 2021 Ageing Report, the total population in the Union is expected to shrink by about 5% up to 2070. In addition, the old-age dependency ratio is set to increase. Take, CA Z M for example, the fact that in 2019 there were 2.9 potential workers to one retiree, whereas in EN 2070 there will be only 1.7 potential workers to one retiree. It is vital that we prepare our soci-FERN eties and economies for managing this scenario. These demographic figures, coupled with low O A K fertility rates and other factors, shows how our population has been ageing. The demographic EN trend of ageing has implications for economic growth, fiscal sustainability, health and long-term STV care, well-being and social cohesion. NAN Ageing is closely linked to depopulation. They both significantly impact Europe’s rural areas. 9. Z When we speak about rural areas, we talk about 137 million people, representing almost 30% of the Union’s population and over 80% of its territory. Demographic change affects urban and rural regions differently. For example, from 2010 to 2020, the population in the Union’s rural regions decreased by 1 percent, while in urban regions it increased by around 6 percent. We must respond appropriately to the challenges citizens in rural areas are facing. It is in rural areas where the demographic transition is most visible. Demographic challenges impact rural areas’ socio-economic growth, their quality of life and their ability to build an attractive future. The Green Paper on Ageing, published in January 2021, takes a ‘life-cycle’ approach, that shows the impact of ageing on all generations and stages in life. We must remember that ageing is not just for the elderly. Everyone, including young people, is impacted by the prospect of living a longer life. It is important that we strengthen solidarity between the generations. And strike the right balance between sustainable solutions for our welfare systems. Given that ageing is affecting our societies at different levels, the European Commission believes in an integrated approach, supporting measures covering multiple areas in a complementary manner. The Paper’s public consultation revealed a desire for the European Union to support Member States in transitioning toward integrated, person-centred and community-based health care and long-term care. 34 As a result of demographic change, the number of people potentially in need of long-term care in B 9 the European Union is projected to rise substantially, from 30 million in 2019 to almost 40 million OOK th SC in 2050. This will lead to a drastic increase in demand for long-term care services. On 15 Septem-O IE F N ber 2021, President von der Leyen announced that the Commission will come forward with a new A TI B F European care strategy to support men and women in finding the best care and the best life bal-S IC C TR O ance for them. This shows our commitment to supporting those in need of care, as well as those A N CT F who provide it. We cannot have a robust care strategy without looking at both. S EREN The initiative has a strong gender equality dimension. Women are overrepresented as care proCE W viders. Women also provide the bulk of informal care. Therefore, next to an initiative on longIT term care, the European Care Strategy will include a revision of the Barcelona targets on ear-H IN ly childhood education and care. With this we aim to further enhance women’s labour market TE participation and encourage Member States in improving the participation of children in early RNAT childhood education and care. Improving care services and infrastructure across Member States IO is essential for halving the gender employment gap by 2030. NAL P Another core element of the Green Paper on Ageing is the emphasis on lifelong learning. The AR green and digital transitions require upskilling and reskilling of the Union’s labour force. Workers TIC of all ages must be supported to develop the skills they need, to keep up with the innovations IPAT rapidly taking hold in workplaces across Member States. At the Porto Social Summit in May last IO year, Member States confirmed their commitment to achieving a participation rate of 60% of all N A L adults in training every year by 2030. Beyond that, the European Skills Agenda adopted in July L A 2020 sets out a dozen actions to allow individuals and businesses to develop more and better BOU skills. The Pact for Skills mobilises public and private actors to set up large-scale skills partner-T P ships in a given sector or region. Launched in November 2020, the Pact includes over 500 organi-EOP sations that have signed up to its Charter. We have already launched seven sectoral partnerships LE: R including in renewable energy, maritime technology and tourism. Now, these partnerships are EL being expanded to the 14 industrial ecosystems under the EU Industrial Strategy. Upskilling our EVA workforce in this way will give workers the tools they need to navigate the green and digital NCE O transitions throughout their entire life. F S Providing adults with learning opportunities was only the start. The second step is to give more CIE support to individuals to take up more learning and training opportunities. In December 2021, the NCE A Commission adopted a proposal for a Council Recommendation on individual learning accounts. It N asks Member States to provide each person of working-age with training entitlements in the form D E of a virtual wallet that can only be used for learning purposes. This direct financial support to indi-DUC viduals will be complemented by non-financial measures such as guidance services. ATIO Looking forward into the future, the third step is to provide better recognition of the skills de-N veloped during adult learning. The Commission has therefore adopted a proposal for a Council Recommendation on micro-credentials in December 2021. These are acquired from short, targeted courses, and help people to develop the skills they need based on what they need to live and work. I look forward to working closely with all partners as we move forward in our work and am keen to hear more about your ideas, expertise and contributions in this area. I thank you for your engagement as we take the next tangible steps necessary for a European Union for all ages. 35 »HUMAN RIGHTS OF OLDER PERSONS: WHAT ARE JA N WE MISSING? » ŽEVA ZETKOV ARB IK POV Prof. Dr. Israel Doron, Head of the Department of Gerontology, University of Haifa ZO N N I R STI I ZBO O From a global perspective, it seems that a human rights discourse has become a dominant pol-NA icy-frameworks in response to global aging. However, despite this shift, the international ef-N fort to promote a new international human rights convention for the rights of older persons has CA ZN failed. In this presentation I will argue that something was and still missing from the existing public debate around the human rights of older persons. This “missing element” will be termed: ELEVA “Ageivism”. “Ageivism” as will be presented and defined in this presentation, is an ideology which E: R capsules social cause and a moral foundation for social action that attempts to emancipate older R persons from the existing social oppression which stems from the social construction of old age.

However, societal perceptions and policy responses to ageing population are often TH I found to be based on older people as a homogenous group, rather than on a diverse group with NTE different needs and experiences. This give rise to ageism which forces social inequalities. This RN presentation will be highlighting the double jeopardy that women face in their old age, arising ATIO from the interface between ageism and gender. Society applies unique set of principles towards NA older women, especially in terms of stereotypes, prejudices and expectations. It is argued that L PA gender equality in old age is a right which is being denied to many. Policies to address this dis-RT crimination are needed so as to secure a good quality of life for older women. ICIPATION A LL A BOUT PEOPLE: RELEVANCE O F SCIENCE A ND E DUCATION 37 Janez Cigler Kralj, Minister, Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities JA N Dear organisers and participants of the 2022 Alma Mater Conference It’s About People, ŽEVA ZETKOV ARB IK POV Thank you very much for inviting me to this important annual conference, which has gained ZO N N I R great recognition in the European academic space. It is an honour to be joining you today to ad-STI I ZBO dress the work and efforts of my team at the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal ON Opportunities, referring to the rights of the elderly and the ethical attitude towards them. AN Comprehensive regulation of the field of elderly care has been one of the central priorities CA Z since the beginning of my term. Slovenia is characterised by an ageing population. By 2030, N more than 30% of the population will be older than 65. Today, however, 70% of the population ELEVA is already over 80 years old. The need for admission to institutions will continue to be growing. E: R As a minister, I know the situation in the field quite well, as I have visited around 50 institution-R A G al care providers across the country in less than two years of being in office. On some occasions, EK I was the first minister who had visited them in the history of the individual institution. VLO During the pandemic, we were constantly in contact with the managers of individual care cenA Č tres and homes for the elderly either through video conferences or other communication chan-O Z nels. This was one of the most important tasks and of extraordinary importance during the difficult, worst weeks of the Covid pandemic. And I can say that the elderly care workers are ELEŽBD among the most caring and sweet people in our country. They also make the lives of the elderly O UN much more pleasant. DOR I have often quoted the German politician Ursula Lehr, who said that it is not important how old AN a person is, but how he gets to be old. This thought accompanies me everytime I visit homes for ED the elderly that are not well maintained, which shows an undignified image of ageing because of the inappropriate living conditions. But I also remember this thought in beautiful, joyful CA Z M moments when I deliver happy news of financing a new home or centre for the elderly. EN FER Over the past decade, institutional care has suffered a lot. The last home for the elderly, built NO with public funds, was built in 2005. It was the home for the elderly people Fužine, in Ljublja-A K na. Later, individual tenders were carried out for the concessions, however, only smaller ac-EN commodation units were built for larger nursing homes. As a result, many homes face spatial STVN problems, or do not meet standards of institutional care, which has also been marked by our AN response to the epidemic. 9. Z Since the first day of my mandate, my colleagues and I have been carrying out activities to regulate this area. After decades of neglect of elderly care, over the next four years more than €200 million of investments will be provided from different sources. The funding has already ensured a better quality of life for older people. With budgets for 2021 and 2022, we have provided over €65 million investments in homes for the elderly, which will fund 413 new accommodation places. We have secured €93 million through the REACH EU call. These funds will enable a friendlier and safer living environment for residents in nursing homes and will support the process of deinstitutionalisation. Due to higher standards, we are talking about approximately 300 additional accommodations. As part of the recovery and resilience plan, we are also planning to invest €59 million to build 850 new places in nursing homes. In March 2021, we awarded concession for 1285 new places for users of institutional care services in nursing homes, to be applied from the early 2022 onwards. In June 2021, we launched another, new tender, and in January this year we awarded additional 1107 places with concession. We are thus talking about 2,392 accomodation places in total. By the end of this year, 218 places will be provided in day-care units and 178 places in centres for occa-sional accommodation for the elderly, for which a total of €28 million of European and own resources are allocated. 38 We are aware that space alone is not enough for decent ageing. After many years of neglect, B 9 we also want to solve the human resources issues. We have reached an agreement with the OOK th SC trade unions, which includes raising the salaries of 12,000 employees in health and social care, O IE F N and appointed a working group on human resources standards and norms in the framework A TI B F of nursing homes and special social care institutions. The value of the proposed action is ap-S IC C TR O proximately 32 million EUR. The recently passed Long-Term Care Act will also contribute to the A N CT F structural regulation of this area. S EREN Dear ladies and gentlemen, I have listed some achievements, indicated a few steps that will CE W lead us to a more decent stay for older people in the near future, but we must not forget those IT older people who are staying at home or those who are retiring as we speak. Due to the diffi-H IN cult situation caused by the epidemic, a solidarity allowance of over €134 million was paid to TE pensioners in both, the first and second wave of the epidemic. We have reconciled pensions, RNAT corrected the injustices of the past, we have established a functioning sistem for pensions of IO farmers and people with disability. At the same time, we are ensuring the strengthening of NA intergenerational ties in our society. We have contributed to increased awareness of intergen-L PA erational cooperation, and lifelong learning in Slovenian companies, which is crucial for the RTI transition to a more sustainable economy. We have established lifelong learning programmes CIPAT and the acquisition of competences to raise the quality of life in the third period of life. Last but IO not least, last week‘s confirmed digital voucher also opens up a number of opportunities for N A older people to further educate themselves and benefit from much-needed digital services in LL A all branches of social engagement. BOU Dear ladies and gentlemen, the elderly symbolize wisdom and experience, and are invaluable T P to our society. I promise you that we will continue to address the area of care for the elderly EOP and make this a priority in the future, too. We must also lean on strengthened family policy LE: R measures and support couples in making decisions for large families. Our society is as strong EL as its weakest link. EVAN No man is an island, completely to himself. Every man is a piece of the continent, part of land. I CE O am pleased that we can contribute a small stone to the mosaic for the safe haven of our elderly. I F S wish you a successful conference. CIENCE A ND E DUCATION 39 WHY ARE THE ELDERLY ADULTS (THROWN) ON THE JA N PERIPHERY OF SOCIETY? ŽEVA ZETKOV ARB IK POV Prof. Emer. Dr. Šime Ivanjko, Emeritus Professor of Law ZO N N I R University of Maribor STI I ZBO ONA Although the author notes that in Slovenian society the elderly adults make up about 20 percent N of the total population, which increases annually by around 3 percent, that for every 100 children CA ZN over 65 years of age, about 130 years old and around 13 percent of older adults with higher or higher education and with a lot of life experience, it also notes that the value of knowledge of ELEVA this part of the social population is lost by going into retirement, as the value of the company‘s E: R shares in bankruptcy. The older generation has survived as many changes as few in the history of R our society. The very fact that elderly adults have spent their lives without changing the wider A GEK geographical area, in 4 different countries, with different socio-political, contradictory, systems VLO and always with unsatisfying visions of a satisfy and happy life in society. They spent their lives A Č in promises and anticipation of a higher quality of life. Today, in the last period of their lives, O Z they note that all expectations were at the limit of unfullcomed illusions and that, unaware by passing, they found themselves on the periphery of our society as predictable for the ultimate ELEŽBD exodus of life. O UN Because the author notes that the elderly adults are forbidden to work; however, if they work, DO they are under strict control as to how much they can be (post)payed, speculating that society is RA likely to see that elderly adults on the labour market are dangerously competitive with young NED people. Elderly adults have experienced limited ability to run for candidacies for certain functions; but them are offered only empty honorary titles. The attempt to collectively engage the CA Z M elderly adults in political life miserably collapsed by improperly paying 400 euros. The banks‘ EN doors are closed to the elderly adults, saying they are too close to death to be given a €500 loan. FERN Also the big insurance companies, which have co-created huge financial reserves, do not allow O them personal insurance and give newspapers to the homes of the elderly that cannot be sold A K on the market instead of food treats. Entrepreneurs, and especially traders, are older people as EN well as excellent consumers who are not interested in the sustainability of individual products STVNA and are susceptible to a few cent discounts for pensioners. Elderly adults are also restricted in N traffic. They are thus particularly supervised by medical staff and police. Often their living and 9. Z living habits disturb young people. Thus, they are mostly „pushed“ into nursing homes, where they have to share their intimate in more bedrooms (as in the past in Yugoslav army). For young people, it is also problematic to understand the personal feelings express by elderly adults. The author was the instigator of the introduction of personal bankruptcy years ago, convinced that entrepreneurs in particular need a fresh start. Today, however, he notes that this is the way for elderly adults going out of debt slavery, because their pensions are not enough to survive or for pay their debts. The author‘s contribution, however, vents in the conclusion that the interest for the elderly adults, which is demonstrated by current policy or always name-important owners, entrepreneurs, social visionaries and many others who still want to use elderly adults for their goals, is present. Politicians and political parties are interested in the elderly adults in every election year. To them, the electoral votes of the elderly adults are valuable, and they mean little or nothing to the elderly themselves. However, it has taken decades to pass the Long-Term Care Act. The author concludes his contribution by proposing to young people to „straighten out the paths of society to the periphery“, not because they love them, but because of them, who, rather than they think, will enter the path of their own without a return. Keywords: older adults, society, ageism. 40 HOW TO PRESERVE THE DIGNITY OF AN B 9 OOK th SC OLD DYING MAN O IE F N A TI B F S IC C T Metka Klevišar, MD, Physician R O A N Dom Sv. Jožef Celje CT F S ERENCE W Death is the most certain fact for us. Even though it’s all waiting for us, we’re very reluctant to I talk about it and we’re doing it as if it’s not present in our lives. Death is supposed to be a fault, TH I a mistake. If we were willing to talk about it more, not just at the very end of life, we would NTE certainly live better and more peacefully. In the paper, the author will present about how, in a RN society, that was, and still is not, not prepared to talk about death, she started writing and pre-ATIO senting lessons and sessions for people to talk about the care of the dying and how important it NA is to talk about this phenomena as much as possible. Then the author will highlight some of the L PA most urgent things that a dying person needs, although we must be aware that even in dying RT needs, people are very different. Finally, she will focus on how important it is for every person ICIP to say early enough how he would want to be treated when he dies. It’s best to write that wish. ATION A LL A BOUT PEOPLE: RELEVANCE O F SCIENCE A ND E DUCATION 41 IT‘S NEVER TOO LATE TO FIND MEANING JA N ŽEVA ZETKOV Marko Pavliha, Professor of Law ARB University of Ljubljana IK POV ZO N N I R The title point of the lecture will be justified by a brief sketch of the possibilities and methods STI I ZBO ON of spreading consciousness in the spirit of saying „help yourself and God - cosmic intelligence, AN greatness, space, destiny, etc. - will help you“. Every man, perhaps especially in older age, can CA Z do things for himself to make life easier and better. It is, of course, a mutual process, because N we are all intertwined, and the attitude of society (especially state or politics, as well as the profession, etc.) must contribute to getting out of the bad vicious circle and establishing good ELEVA compassionate and solidarity-based cooperation. The lecture will be based on the book Be-E: RR yond Materialistic Belief: Spiritual Drama (GV Založba, 2021), which is based on the hypothesis A G that the essence of humanism, law, ethics, morality, civilisation and survival is man, and if we EKV want more values to be true, every every person must improve, including by internalizing local LO and global duties and responsibilities. I will support the hypothesis with some of the latest A Č scientific discoveries about man and holistic consciousness, ancient Chinese, Hindu, Buddhist O Z and Christian writings, reflections of newly-awakened practitioners and experts, and his own ELEŽB synthesis with a hint of original.

Preven-RTI tion, including a non-pharmacological approach in the form of proprioceptive training, makes CIPAT sense to prevent falls. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of two months of proprio-IO ceptive training on the elderly without and with mild cognitive impairment and dementia. N A L Methods: The study involved 19 elderly people living in nursing homes (aged between 67 and 95, L A B 13 women and 6 men) randomly divided into an intervention and control group. A two-month OU proprioceptive training in combination with the PNF concept was performed with the intervenT PE tion team twice a week for 60 minutes. Functional status was verified by the four-square-foot OP step test and the SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery) test. LE: R Results: All residents of the nursing home successfully completed a two-month proprioceptive ELE exercise. The intervention resulted in a statistically significant improvement in the four-square VAN test (p <0.05), no improvement was detected in the SPPB test (p> 0.05), and no difference was CE O found in the effect of proprioceptive exercise in people with poor cognitive status (p> 0)., 05).

Since many women face urine leakage and for many of them that is an NAT obstacle for regular physical activity, we have decided to determine the impact of stress urinary ION incontinence on the quality of life of women, who are regularly physically active. It is also in our AL P interest to find out how many women train their pelvic floor muscles as part of managing stress AR urinary incontinence problems for preventive purposes and for the ability to continue perform-TICI ing selected physical activities. PATI Methodology: We used a quantitative research method using a questionnaire. The sample in-ON A cluded women aged 18-30 years, who are regular physical activities. We statistically processed LL A and analyzed the obtained measurement data with the help of descriptive statistics (averages, BO standard deviations). UT P Results: We have found that just under a third (57.9%) of the 57 respondents had problems with EO urine leakage at least once a week to several times a day, of which 29.8% had known problems PLE with stress urinary incontinence. Most women experience leaking a small amount of urine : RE (26.3%); for urine to run down the legs does not happen in any of the respondents. Urinary leak-LEV age problems are at the forefront of 8 women‘s physical activity, with 9 citing extreme to moder-ANC ate frustration and activity prevention. We also find that urine leakage problems do not remove E O the respondents‘ self-esteem. F SCI Discussion: We found that in our sample, women who do not have problems with stress urinary ENC incontinence live a better quality of life. Urinary incontinence has an impact on the quality of E A regular physical activity, but does not affect on the decision of the respondent to regularly train ND E the pelvic floor muscles as part of the managment of involuntary leakage of urine.

These should help to restore upper limb movement, especially in sub-acute O Z and chronic stroke patients. Stroke often prevents full movement but does not prevent think-ELEŽB ing about a particular movement. RecoveriX is an innovative BCI for rehabilitation after stroke. D Recent research has shown that it is BCI therapy that leads to better results than conventional O UN therapy. Brain Computer Interfaces can be combined with other techniques such as Functional DOR Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Virtual Reality (VR). By combining all of these techniques, BCI AN allows the user to restore neurological function by stimulating neurological plasticity through ED enhanced motor imagery (MI) perception in real time while patients perform therapeutic tasks. It measures brain activity through the very act of thinking about movement, delivering feedback CA Z M and actual movement in humans, helping the patient regain lost motor function. RecoveriX can EN improve a patient‘s condition even several years after a stroke and is used for acute, sub-acute FERN and chronic conditions. Research on recoveriX has shown that the system produces a remarka-O A K ble increase in the motor function of the paretic arm, as assessed by the Fugl-Meyer score. There EN is also a reduction in spasticity of the wrist and fingers, as assessed by the modified Ashworth STV scale. Other improvements, such as grip, were also observed in the healthy hand. All functional NA improvements achieved during BCI therapy were maintained for up to 6 months after the end of N the therapy.

What the functional outcome after early neurorehabilitation will be ONA depends on various risk factors. The purpose of the research was to investigate the impact of age L P and gender on the functional outcome and its dependence on concomitant diseases. ARTI Methods: The study involved 30 patients of all ages who suffered a stroke and were treated at CIP the UKC Maribor. A questionnaire and Barthel index were used. ATIO Results: The results showed that there are no statistically significant differences between young-N A L er patients and those older than 65. There are also no significant differences between genders L A and functional outcome. However, there are differences between the result of the functional BOU outcome on admission and on discharge. This has improved statistically. We also found that study T P participants reported a statistically significant lower level of pain according to the VAS scale at EOP the end of hospital treatment. There were no significant correlations between concomitant dis-LE: R eases and functional outcome.

However, the effects of EKV motor imagery interventions on near and far transfer of learning remain equivocal and without LO consistent findings. Fitts’s law is a predictive model widely used in the literature to evaluate the A Č relationship between speed and accuracy in directed movement actions. In this model, move-O Z ment time increases with increasing movement amplitude and target width. This study aims to advance the understanding about motor imagery practice on near and far transfer of learning ELEŽBD creating a valid protocol with the Fitts’s law. O UN Methods: We developed a pre- and post-assessment experimental study with a 20-minute Fit-DOR ts’s law intervention performed under three different conditions: motor imagery, real execu-AN tion, and backward counting. During the intervention participants needs to perform Fitts’s law ED tasks under four indexes of difficulties spread into different task patterns. Altogether eighty reps need to be executed. After a baseline screening (basic anthropometrics, physical activity, and CA Z M movement imagery questionnaire), the pre-assessment consists of a lower and upper limb Fitts’s EN law tasks performed under three different indexes of difficulties. The same assessment needs FERN to be executed post intervention. The evaluation involves performance outcomes (time needed O A K to complete the task) and autonomic responses assessed with the NeXus-10 MKII (Mindmedia, EN Netherland) system. STVN Discussion: We believe the new protocol with the Fitts’s law task will extend the knowledge AN about motor imagery and the potential impact on motor learning. Due to its innovative approach, 9. Z this method has the potential to form a template for subsequent studies in this field.

All the restrictions imposed to protect their health and preserve their lives ELEŽB ultimately exacerbate the long-standing problem of isolating the older adults and the health D consequences of the social disconnect that existed long before the pandemic. With the pandem-O UN ic, ageism has reached a new level of discrimination with the hashtag #BoomerRemover. This DOR excessively obscene concept highlights two prevailing views in response to the COVID-19 pan-AN demic: (1): The older adults are ‚sitting ducks,‘ vulnerable and helpless against COVID-19. High ED mortality rates among the older adults are considered an ‚inevitable‘ and ‚normal‘ outcome of this pandemic; (2) Healthy young people consider themselves invulnerable to COVID-19 and, as a CA Z M result, may not realize the importance of adhering to public health advice and policies on infec-EN tion prevention. Although mortality rates from COVID-19 are higher in older adults than in other FERN age groups, we are concerned that age is associated exclusively with weakness and comorbidity. O A K When medical equipment and hospital facilities become scarce, caregivers may be faced with EN ethical decisions about whose life is a priority, and age can become a deciding factor. It is tempt-STV ing to fall into gross utilitarianism that values live differently. We oppose one group to another NA and give lower priority to those to whom lower values are attributed. As concerned advocates N and researchers interested in aging, we should be aware of age discrimination and reduce the 9. Z ageistic attitudes propagated during COVID-19. Now is the time to create a broader awareness of negative stereotypes towards older people and their harmful effects, as well as the benefits of older people, their valuable contribution to society, and their potential.

ATIO Method: This was a longitudinal qualitative study that included 9 workers, aged 59 to 72 years. NAL P Twenty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted with them. The empirical material was A analyzed using thematic analysis. RTIC Findings: Five main themes were developed during the analysis. They described various micro IPAT and meso factors associated with extended working life. Subcategories that aligned with asION A pects of sustainable leadership included: (1) leadership style, (2) relationships at work, (3) work L achievements, (4) sense of contribution, and (5) love of work. Some of these factors were instru-L A B mental in the employees’ decision to continue working after meeting the retirement criteria.

In apparent compliance with the principles of palliative care A G and carefully planned non-pharmacological approaches, organized palliative care is of excep-EKV tional value for the individual and his family and the employees. The OAZA concept clearly shows LO excellent added value. It emphasizes the importance of the environment while implementing A Č non-pharmacological approaches - special techniques for work (aromatherapy, basal stimula-O Z tion, innovative validation, etc.). Since 2016 carried out in the Šentjur Home for the Elderly, and ELEŽB later can be found in several Slovenian homes for the elderly. Implementing comprehensive conD gruent palliative care with clearly planned organizational structures, both global and national, O UN is a socially responsible task of great importance. The number of people diagnosed with demen-DO tia is increasing rapidly. The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of OAZA professionally RAN and to define the role of palliative care for people with dementia regarding digital transforma-ED tion in social welfare institutions. Early involvement in palliative care, family meetings and the participation of relatives in the decision-making process regarding the care of the individual, all CA Z M resulting from the pre-expressed wishes of that individual, lead to a clear goal – maintaining EN the individual’s dignity. Since we live in a time of digital transformation, the use of IT technology FERN is meaningful, especially in those segments that affect the quality of life. In practice, this offers O people with dementia higher quality of life and enables the caregiver to provide safer care while A K EN also saving time. Based on the content analysis, were introduced two topics: integrating pallia-STV tive care for people with dementia in social welfare institutions in step with the digital transfor-NA mation and the concept OAZA.

Personal, social, and technological PLE contexts are intertwined, indicating different sociotechnical contexts of information-commu- : R nication technology use. We studied the interplay between them – external structure, internal ELEV structure, actions, and results. ANC Discussion: A contextualised study of the acceptance of technology in later life is needed. It is E O necessary to give a voice to digitally excluded older adults. Age-based assumptions regarding F SC the lack and type of use of information-communication technologies cannot be universally ap-IEN plied, and should be rebutted. Since contexts and structural processes ae intertwined, the digital CE A divide is intersectional, not solely connected to age but also social and digital inequalities.

The period of the first declaration of the epidemic with COVID-19 was followed by the com-R plete closure of the state and the closure of social protection programs. We have adapted workA GEK ing methods and forms of assistance literally “overnight”, in order to continue, but also more VLO intensively, provide psychosocial assistance and support to people with long-term mental health A Č problems. Adjustments have required that traditional psychosocial care approaches, which are O Z otherwise implemented „live“, be replaced by the provision of ICT. The purpose of this paper is to present the importance of ICT technology on the social inclusion of older people with mental ELEŽBD health problems, in the NGO Altra, during the first wave of the epidemic with COVID-19. O UN Methodology: The research was conducted by the quantitative method; data are collected by the DO method of surveys and descriptive statistics, in March 2020 and in January 2022, and comprise a RA sample of 38 users aged 55 and over.

They are facing with various forms of digital challenges in acquiring new TER skills. Information and communication technology represents great potential as an aid in the NAT care of the elderly in an increasingly aging society. With the empirical qualitative research, we ION wanted to explore the view of the elderly on the use of digital devices. With research ques-AL P tions, we wanted to explore their use of digital devices as well as their satisfaction and inde-AR pendence and access to the Internet. We were interested in their views on the importance of TIC communication during the Covid-19 pandemic and their opinion on using digital technology. IPAT The study involved 28 elderly people who answered questions from a semi-structured interION A view between October 2020 and April 2021. The qualitative content analysis showed three L important aspects, namely: independence in the use of digital devices, criticism of new tech-L A B nology and the importance and necessity for education. The fact is, that autonomy and the use OU of digital devices are declining with age. During the time of social isolation, digital devices T PE gained in importance, especially for the oldest research participants. On the surveyed elder-OP ly people we found a critical attitude towards digital media in connection with harmfulness, LE: R control and alienation.

Based on the fundamental principles that R should be visible and recognized in each activity, role or routine, Dr. Camp derived 12 principles A GEK that should guide the planning, implementation and help in evaluating what we have done. V There are several different types of dementia. The most common dementia that the older adults LO A Č suffer from is Alzheimer’s disease. Classical conditioning is a method by which older people with O Z dementia can learn. We reviewed the rights of older adults and older adults with dementia. We note that the types of rights do not differ between them. The article draws attention to the fol-ELEŽBD lowing rights arising from the Montessori method: the right to autonomy, the right to dignity, O U the right to appropriate health care focused on older adults, the right to a Montessori approach in ND the home environment and the right to quality treatment and identification of individual needs. OR The Montessori method has proven to be an excellent method to help older adults with various AN forms of dementia in the best possible way. It is important, however, to educate people who ED work with older adults as much as possible, to be able to recognize different types of dementia and to be able to use the right approach to such individuals. The environment built with the Mon-CA Z M EN tessori approach is assessed as a very good environment in which older adults with dementia can FER function relatively well, their quality of life improves and they stay in such an environment for NO the rest of their lives.

To what extent does the state D provide older adults with the right to choose to live in the desired environment and thus also O UN access to long-term care services?

Compared to O Z heterosexuals, LGBTQ+ older adults are less likely to receive informal care because they often ELEŽB live without a partner and have no children. A special role in improving the current situation of D LGBTQ+ older adults is in the hands of health professionals, social workers and social gerontolo-O UN gists who must work to avoid heteronormative assumptions.

It is important N A because of the life changes of the individual and his or her life roles. The process of preparation LL A for later life includes planning that prepares the individual to face change and take appropriate BO action. The purpose of the study was to identify older people past experiences with preparation UT P and planning for later life in the context of their satisfaction with life. EOP Methods: In the research, we used a quantitative methodological approach, in which we collect-LE: R ed data with our own questionnaire and a standardized questionnaire for determining satisfac-EL tion with life (SWLS). The survey was conducted from December 2021 to January 2022. The survey EVA included 335 people over the age 65 living in the home environment and institutional care. Data NC were analyzed using methods of descriptive and inferential statistics, and the hypotheses were E O F S tested with correlation and regression analysis. CIE Results: The results of the research show that most older people started preparing and planning NC for later life late, in late middle age or even later. We find that they were less informed, aware, E A N trained and motivated to prepare for later life. They showed the highest efficiency in planning D E for later life in the domain of housing, health, finances and social relations. They assesses their DU satisfaction with life as moderately satisfactory. CATIO Discussion and conclusions: The research draws attention to the importance of the timely start N of preparing and planning an individual for later life. Already in youth and adulthood, according to the value system and life priorities, it is necessary to guide the individual for responsible planning of later life. In this direction, it is necessary to strengthen their information and train and motivate them accordingly.

AN CA ZN ABSTRACT ELEVA Introduction: The SenQuality project, funded in the Erasmus+ programme, addresses the topic E: R of individual later life preparation in order to support well-being in old age. The demograph-R ic change has and will have far-reaching implications. Expected cuts in social security systems, A GEK challenges for the health and care systems etc. emphasize an increased responsibility of individ-V uals to prepare for later life. But also personal age-related changes influence future well-being. LO A Č Studies show that active later life planning and self-reflection of age-related transitions can in-O Z fluence well-being positively. SenQuality aims at raising awareness for the importance of preparation for later life and offers a reflection and planning tool. ELEŽBD Methods: The project follows the assumptions of Kornadt (University of Luxemburg) and Rother-O U mund (University of Jena) who see preparation as a lifelong and multidimensional process and NDO defined nine domains for preparation: Finances, Emergencies & Exceptional Circumstances, Men-RA tal & Physical Fitness, Housing, Looks & Appearance, Social relationships, Health, Leisure Activi-NED ties & Lifestyle as well as Work& Employment. After introducing these domains, the project offers an online self-reflection tool that leads to an individual action plan. Good practice examples and CA Z M recommendations for later life are supposed to give inspiration. EN Results: The results are a later life manual as pdf download, a framework for self-assessment FERN that can be used by counsellors supporting people in life changes and that serves as theoretical O basis for an online platform that allows the individual to reflect on the current and past status A K EN and experiences as well as on wishes for the future. With the help of concrete examples and advice individual action plans can be made. STVNA Discussion and conclusion: SenQuality wants to reach an increased motivation to prepare for N later life in a stage in which this still can be influenced, in addition to a better knowledge on how 9.

The importance of having a home that is adapted to each inATIO dividual‘s circumstances becomes even more important as we age, as our needs change, as we NA experience problems with mobility, vision, hearing, or even memory. Home adaptation is very L PA important for the safety and well-being of older people, allowing them to live independently RT longer, feel safer and avoid accidents. The purpose of this paper is to present a project-research ICIP approach to planning later life in the domain housing. The research was carried out in two stag-ATI es, as we first developed a methodological concept for self-assessment in planning for later life. ON A Then, based on the methodological concept, we developed a methodological tool for planning LL A later life in the domain housing, based on self-reflection and self-assessment. The methodolog-BO ical concept in the domain housing is six-step. The first step is intended to the presentation and UT P selection of domains. In the second step the individual self-reflects and self-assesses the current EO housing situation and reflects on the need to make changes to the own housing or consider other PLE housing options. In the third step the individual self-reflects and self-assesses past experience in : RE housing. The fourth step provides an answer to how strongly the domain develops in the individ-LEV ual.

The body is central to the experience of ageing. How an individual look is central to classi-fying him/her into society. Furthermore, work and employment is a domain that unfortunately ELEVA did not receive much attention as it should be. Taking into consideration the large financial and E: RR economic consequences of the last years, especially of COVID-19, a lot of discussions on the im-A G plication of longer working lives in terms of learning have been raised. Rapid population ageing EKV requires not only a policy response but also a continuous and comprehensive action plan.

Therefore, successful preparation for later life ART must include planning that concretizes the individual‘s desired state in the future. The purpose of ICIP the study was to determine the importance of planning for later life in older people, the impor-ATI tance of different domains and the reasons for planning.

E O F S Discussion and conclusions: Planning for later life is an important aspect of an individual‘s prepa-CIE ration. It is important that the individual starts planning at a young and middle age. With plan-NC ning, it is necessary to intervene in all domains of preparation, with the individual first choosing E A N the ones to which attaches greater importance. We also point out that an important and nec-D E essary factor in preparing is the state, which must regulate the legal field, provide appropriate DU support services, educate individuals, raise awareness and provide assistance to individuals in CAT preparing and planning for later life in some domains.

In many RTIC old buildings live the older inhabitants who are their owners, but have no financial resources IPAT to improve the energy efficiency of these buildings. According to the Buildings Performance In-IO stitute, up to 97.5% of existing buildings are still below efficiency A, therefore must be updated N A or refurbished. This is a prerequisite for achieving the EC’s 2050 goals for decarbonization. The LL A proposal lies in combining research with the development of a new role of Urban Facility Man-BOU agement (FM) for the implementation of knowledge in a broader urban context to contribute T P to the achievement of energy efficiency objectives and more livable cities for ageing societies. EOP The concept of facility manager profile should be extended from the facility manager of typi-LE: R cally business or public buildings to cover the general public neighbourhoods to be capable of EL making better communication between inhabitants and municipality, which is especially de-EVA manding for older inhabitants, who need refurbishing of their homes.

Urban FM also contribute to fulfilment C of the needs of the older members of the community, being often cash poor, but still owners of IEN a high percentage of old buildings. In many cities, they are the main cohort who have problems CE A to invest in such refurbishing. From this perspective, the development of refurbishing and mod-ND E ern maintenance management structure including urban FM as its core part, which contribute DU knowledge to the silver economy, is proposed.

The EKV housing stock is not fit to support the shift from institutional care to home-based independent LO living. Most houses in Slovenian municipalities are not adequately built, as they contain accessi-A Č bility barriers for people with emerging functional impairments. Also, the public transport does O Z not enable them to reach the health and social centres when needed. The financial sources are not provided in general to improve the living standard for older adults. Retirement communities ELEŽBD are not developed at all. The question is how to finance the adaptation of housing units, provide O UN them better accessibility and build new social facilities. Many facilities are optimal to be con-DO structed on the local level. But it is advised for some to be provided on the Local Action Group RA (LAG) level, some on regional level and some on the national level. The management of these NED spatial units and their inhabitants should consider building smart villages where the physical facilities and spaces would be constructed so that the community could have access to social and CA Z M health care services and would operate in the future in the sense of Continuous Care Regions EN (CCR). We based our analysis on the Central Population Register ( https://podatki.gov.si/dataset/ FERN centralni-register-prebivalstva) and the location of their homes and public facilities needed for O the Long-term care (https://www.e-prostor.gov.si/dostop-do-podatkov/vpogledi-v-podatke/).

(Articel NA 78). Suitable housing can vary significantly for different individuals or groups of people. There is L PA also no uniform definition of suitable housing. In the case of older adults, the absence of move-RT ment barriers (stairs, thresholds, etc.) or the presence of solutions for their easier overcoming ICIP (elevators, etc.) is essential for the suitability of the built living environment. Past research has ATI shown that most older adults want to spend their old age in a home environment, where they ON A have a developed social network, but which in most cases is not suitable for them due to phys-LL A ical barriers. In rural areas in Slovenia, there is no developed appropriate health and social in-BO frastructure that would enable older adults to spend their old age at home. The trend of rural UT P depopulation and the aging of the rural population is a problem the entire European Union is EO facing. In presenting work, we used methods of description, compilation and synthesis, using a PLE review of domestic and foreign literature and legal bases governing this area. The idea of social : RE smart eco-villages is currently being developed in Slovenia under the auspices of the Ministry of LEV Agriculture. It could provide an appropriate framework for adapting the living environment in AN rural areas for older adults. and in cooperation with other line ministries (Ministry of Health, Min-CE O istry of Labor, Ministry of Infrastructure, etc.) it can support development of appropriate health F S and social infrastructure. In addition, new jobs would be created, which could partially halt the CIEN trend of depopulating the rural environment.

Therefore, municipalities for AR those who cannot cover more intensive care with their own funds, enable and pay for this service TIC in the homes of senior citizens in other municipalities. As a result, a large part of the municipal IPAT budget funds flows to other municipalities, and the elderly have to move to more remote places, IO even though they want to stay close to relatives and friends. At the same time, the municipali-N A ties are losing quite a few caregiver jobs, which could be filled by young people from their own LL A municipalities, which would help revitalize Haloze. Therefore, we implemented a financially BOU sustainable longer-term plan for the construction of residential buildings that will be adapted to T P the older adults, based on the model of hierarchical structure of long-term care facilities, based EOP on the model suggested by Drobne and Bogataj in the paper “The Role of Local Action Groups for LE: R the Optimal Allocation of Investments in the Long-Term Care” at SOR‘19.

Laws in the EU prohibit discrimination based ELEVA on social identity. Yet, social discrimination based on ethnicity remains a challenge for access E: R to housing and, hence, minorities in the EU. The impact of COVID19 has led to a broader need R for the digitalization of housing and real estate. Reports from NGOs in Slovenia addressed the A GEK issue of housing as a hindering factor for the social integration of beneficiaries of international VLO protection. Yet, there is a lack of research on social inclusion, housing, and digitalization during A Č COVID19. In this paper, we analyze the definition of Cyberbullying and the anti-discrimination O Z policies in the housing platforms in Slovenia and the public access to information on housing and digitalization. This is through a theoretical framework that combines qualitative research ELEŽBD and ethnographic methods with the theories of social inclusion and digitalization in housing. O U We conclude with an argument that the digitalization of housing is essential for sustainable de-ND velopment. Yet, it shall be integrated with an explicit definition and concrete mechanisms on ORA achieving social inclusion of ethnic minorities and, more precisely, of people who are holders N of international protection in Slovenia. This overlaps with other forms of discrimination based ED on economic status. In conclusion, we offer recommendations on achieving social inclusion of CA Z M minorities and low-income people in Slovenia through an inclusive digitalization of housing for EN sustainable development.

With the A Č splitting of the old municipalities, a large part of the social infrastructure, especially the old-O Z er adults‘ homes (DSO), remained in the old municipal centres. Therefore, the older adults who ELEŽB need long-term care (LTC) move from their municipalities, where they have stronger social net-D works, to other environments, i.e., municipal centers that existed before the division of munic-O UN ipalities. Thus, the funds of municipalities and individual users of these services who needed to DOR co-finance this care are transferred from small, poorer municipalities with social infrastructure AN for the LTC of the older adults to larger municipalities. We reviewed the data on these flows by ED individual municipalities, which ERAR also shows for public funds. The study of correlations and contingency found that at least for the funds paid by municipalities for their poor older citizens CA Z M who need the LTC, the above finding applies. But small rural municipalities with DSOs on their EN soil have successfully attracted LTC users from larger municipalities into their local LTC facilities, FERN attracting funds from larger municipalities to their area and creating jobs in these municipalities. O A K Therefore, this study concludes that it makes sense for small municipalities to build housing in-EN frastructure for older adults and thus create new jobs in their communities.

This community is outward-ONA ly heterogeneous and is characterized by most members living within Roma settlements. Most L P Roma settlements are in 20 Slovenian municipalities with an „autochthonous“ Roma population. ART Some „non-autochthonous“ members also inhabit cities Ljubljana, Maribor and Velenje. The het-ICIP erogeneity of the Roma community is directly related to the immigration routes. According to the ATI time and direction of immigration, we can divide them into at least four large groups (Dolenjska, ON A Prekmurje, Maribor and Gorenjska Roma). One of the most critical challenges for the Roma com-LL A munity is to address the housing issue. Namely, most Roma settlements do not have the status of BO a settlement by our definition and legal status of a settlement. Knowledge of the essential char-UT P acteristics and habits of the population, including the analysis of past demographic trends in an EO area, is the basis for quality planning of adaptation of the settlement to normative regulations PLE and development of the settlement for future population growth. This article presents the de- : R velopment and legalization of the Roma settlement Kerinov grm. We give the main demograph-ELEV ic parameters of the Roma community living in this settlement and the demographic potential AN with population projections by 2050. We ask ourselves whether it makes sense to solve the in-CE O creased housing needs by expanding the settlement related to spatial planning rules, establish-F S ing public economic and social infrastructure, or recognizing that large ethnically homogeneous CIE settlements lead to ghettoization. Therefore, the question also arises whether a different model NCE A of solving the housing care of members of the Roma community should be sought, not only in the N Posavje region but also in other municipalities in Slovenia.

Here were com-R pared the legal and physical goals and constraints to find the best solutions for Slovenian rural A GEK areas. We found that this infrastructure is developed differently across the Member States and VLO that there are different models of governance and financing of the social infrastructure for the A Č LTC. In the majority, the leading managers of the social infrastructure are stakeholders at the lo-O Z cal level, such as municipalities and housing organisations, the latter usually operating as social enterprises or non-profit oriented housing associations. Reliable sources of funding are national ELEŽBD or international. Essential are national mechanisms to draw these fundings through the Europe-O U an Investment Bank. However, our comparative study did not find that the social infrastructure ND is financed mainly through these schemes. In the paper, the reason was missing the guarantee ORA schemes for funding social infrastructure for older adults‘ care. Therefore, for financing the de-N velopment of LTC infrastructure in the Slovenian countryside, the use of some kind of guarantee ED scheme is advised. Thus, the article presents in detail the way to successful, well-developed fi-CA Z M nancial products in the framework of the LTC Act, particularly important for the development of EN LTC in rural areas.

In such families, a dysfunctional parenting approach is often formed in which the E: R parents don’t offer child a support and a healthy environment for growth and development. This R have consequences for the child, which are also present in his/her adulthood. Adults who grew A GEK up in a dysfunctional family where alcohol addiction of one/both parents was present are “adult VLO children of alcoholics”. Unprocessed traumatic experiences from childhood and adolescence in A Č an alcoholic family remain repressed and inappropriately regulated and often shape psychody-O Z namics and functioning in their adulthood, which is often emotionally and socially immature. In this presentation, we will present the pathological patterns between addicted parents and ELEŽBD children and the (emotional) experiencing of adult children of alcoholics in their primary families O U and the consequences they experience in connection with this in their adult lives. By case illustra-ND tion from clinical psychotherapeutic practice according to the model of relational family therapy, ORA an example of processing childhood complications in adult children of alcoholics will be shown.

Internationally prevalent, and com-RTI monly known, are the four pillars of education suggested by UNESCO for the 21st century: the 1st CIPAT - learning to know, the 2nd - learning to do, the 3rd - learning to live together and the 4th - learning IO to be. The basic set research question, as stated in the research, is: To what extent are the Euro-N A pean directives regarding the holistic educational process implemented in the Slovenian educa-LL A tional environment? Using comprehensive analysis, we assessed which areas are the weakest, BO most undernourished or even forgotten. Although the word “holistic” appears in the White Paper UT P on Education in the Republic of Slovenia, it does so in very different and scattered contexts. The con-EOP tent embraces only the minimal declarative level, but not the concrete, practical or applicative LE: R level – and the findings in real-life practice are similar. EL According to the results obtained by qualitative and quantitative methods and other interna-EVA tional research, we formed an innovative holistic educational approach – logopedagogy – on the NCE O anthropological base of Frankl`s logotherapy/existential analysis (Ten Theses on the Person). It F S concerns the awareness and consideration that a child is not only a cognitive/rational being, but CI an indivisible whole of physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. It means that the entire edu-ENC cational system must function in the proper way to consider and develop all three dimensions. E A N This paper includes, among other things, the presentation of the basic elements of logopedago-D E gy, as for example the importance of the autonomy of the teacher and of the learner, of auton-DU omy, freedom, responsibility, creativity, meaning, dignity, self-transcendency, values, relation-CAT ships, and empathy.

The problem of excessive alcohol N consumption is either present in the lives of spouses or they face the consequences of alcoholism from the primary family. Researches show that alcoholism in the family has negative conse-ELEVA quences for the development of children, regardless of whether the family atmosphere is full E: RR of stress, violence and pain or alcohol brings relaxation and joy. Parental alcoholism provides a A G special dysfunctional environment to which the child adapts through unconscious mechanisms. EKV With inappropriate patterns of interconnectedness, the child later enters into intimate partner-LO ships, where repressed emotional states from childhood begin to awaken in order to resolve A Č them. Based on a case study of psychotherapeutic work using the method of a relational fami-O Z ly with spouses, it studies the depth and intensity of internal attachment to primary caregivers ELEŽB and analyzes the way emotions are regulated. Repeating repressed emotions in relationships D brings with it the ability to process negative emotions from childhood and reshape strategies O UN to manage painful emotions. However, regulating a person‘s strong emotional tension before DO resorting to alcohol contributes to a different way of connecting in partnerships and overcoming RAN the pattern of intoxication.

Their emotional needs are ignored, and destructive patterns are imprinted on the de-ELEVA veloping brain. This brain cannot yet fully comprehend what is going on in the family, and at the E: RR same time it does not know relationships based on honesty and trust. As these children grow A G older, they develop defense mechanisms that help them survive the effects of alcohol chaos, EKV but become a source of problems in their intimate couple relationships in adulthood. Based on LO research, we will present the characteristic functioning of women who grew up with addicted A Č parents and the dynamics of their intimate couple relationships with an emphasis on codepend-O Z ency.

With this paper, we want to contribute to helping and empowering O UN women who grew up in a family with alcohol addiction, to their abandoning the role of victim DO and accepting responsibility for their own lives. The results of the clinical practice of couple ther-RAN apy can be helpful to therapists and counselors in establishing an empathetic and emotionally ED engaged relationship.

We have reviewed treatment programs in Slovenia, for different addictions in professional and scientific literature. We have analyzed demands, ELEVA methods and goals of individual program and then assume their prosperity for digital addiction E: R treatment. Treatment programs differ in various factors. Some programs demand abstinence and R are more challenging, while others are mostly focused on reducing harm. Programs can be short A GEK or long term, open or closed type. Chemical addictions can be carried out in either inpatient or VLO outpatient treatments, while non-chemical such as digital addictions can only be implemented A Č as outpatient therapy. It is reasonable to have different treatment programs considering various O Z kinds of addicts and addictions. It appears that those treatment programs that apply longer periods of abstinence, where life skills are taught and family members take part and provide after ELEŽBD care, are more successful. Short-term and harm-reducing oriented programs cannot offer afore-O U mentioned. If complete and long-term abstinence with total change of lifestyle is the principal ND goal, then only demanding long-term programs can be really effective. Since digital addictions ORA are classified as demanding and complex ones, where an ulterior problem is represented by the N near impossibility of control of abstinence, closed-commune treatment program seems espe-ED cially effective.

R As they do not get a calming response from their close ones, they turn to alcohol and so alcohol A GEK becomes their pacifying strategy. The case study will present an individual who stopped indulg-VLO ing in alcohol, but did not altogether stop indulging in a form of self-pacification in which they A Č do not do something for the activity itself but above all for the purpose of self-regulation. The O Z person exchanged alcohol for above-average religious activity. It served as a hyper-activational strategy, which provided them with an external source of temporary felt security. In order to feel ELEŽBD calm in their relationship with God, they had to engage very intensively in emotionally intense O U religious forms of prayer and devotion. In this article we will use relational family therapy and ND attachment theory to present inappropriate ways of regulating feelings such as alcohol addic-ORA tion, and the difference between healthy religiosity and forms of religiosity in which the rela-N tionship with God is not the end, but the means or substitute for regulating anxiety and avoiding ED unpacified feelings.

N Behavior is a reflection of each individual, his actions at a specific moment. Disturbing behavior TER certainly depends on a number of factors, including the social environment and the personalities NAT of everyone involved in a particular situation. When observing outstanding behaviors, the ques-ION tion of the cause of these often arises. From the point of view of each individual‘s involvement AL P in various social systems, their interaction and the consequences they cause in behavior and AR emotions are questionable. The present paper tries to present various social systems or groups, TIC the consequences of their operation and, through case studies, to support theoretical thinking IPAT with practice. Of all the changes we are witnessing in modern times, the unique phenomenon ION A is the way human action takes place, where personal contact is maintained through the virtual L world. Technological development offers the possibility of cooperation, connection, but it also L A B has an impact on negative influences, where foreign ideas, thoughts and ways of working are OU completely uncritically accepted through various social networks.

At a point of immense and all-encompassing transformation in rela-I tionships, in the way we work, parent, or live. Everything that is the essence of man (or so we TH I thought) and that defines man as such in our world today is changing. Technological progress NTE and digital transformation are certainly areas that are triggering these changes, but they are not RN the only ones that „threaten“ the essential elements of man. We should all think about technol-ATIO ogy from a healthy distance. Continuous progress. Where does it end? And why do people get NA so contradictorily excited about it? Humans need to socialise. In the face of the dogmas we are L PA currently living, we realise that man is made for socialising. Man is made for contact, for physical RT touch, which, after all, still creates new human life. Man isn‘t just a physical body. It‘s above all ICIP the energy that drives and regulates it. What strengthens it and what generates it? Other human ATIO beings or things? The question is: does technology create man or does man create technology? As N A human relations grow, we face the danger of dehumanisation. What does this mean for human LL A mental health and what are the consequences? Scientific knowledge is providing us with new BO truths and knowledge, yet we‘re sliding into a society of chronically emotionally malnourished UT P individuals. Perhaps this is due to the fact that man creates relationships with technology and EO neglects human relationships. The current world situation offers absolute support, acceleration PLE and amplification to this relational machination. That‘s why it‘s important to feel the human es- : RE sence again. Let us create new, healthy generations of human beings, returned to their essence LEV and nature. All this is a matter of choice and of how to introduce these fundamental and essential AN contents for humanity into educational systems.

When parents are a source of security, support and consistently TER respond to a child‘s needs, encourage secure attachment. Children perceive themselves as loved NAT and worthy persons and others as responsible persons. When the child doesn`t have a safe en-ION vironment, and parents are a source of fear, discomfort or danger, the child develops insecure AL P attachments, perceives himself as unworthy, inappropriate, and perceives others as rejective or AR abusive. During adolescence, such perceptions only strengthen. An insecure attachment could TIC reinforce various psychic constructs of self-worth, panics, fears which may manifest later in IPAT adulthood as avoidant personality disorder. Main characteristics are persistent patterns of social ION A inhibition, intense sense of insecurity, inadequacy, anxiety, and an excessive sensitivity to negaL tive criticism. In this paper we will present an example from clinical psychotherapeutic practice L A B according to relational family therapy model, presenting an example and analysis of the thera-OU peutic process with a client from a dysfunctional family with established insecure attachment T PE and avoidant personality disorder. The emphasis is on the regulation of affects and the establish-OP ment of a safe therapeutic relationship, which is an analogy of safe attachment in a relationship.

It is about awareness and consideration that the child is not just a cognitive being, but A Č an indivisible whole of the physical, mental and spiritual dimensions. It means that the entire O Z educational system should work towards taking all these dimensions into account. For such an implementation, we need qualified professionals who understand and act on the principles of a ELEŽBD holistic approach.

The results are EN extremely worrying. The key findings are that education professionals rate their knowledge of FERN this approach as good or very good, but the analysis showed just the opposite. This means that O they operate in the utterly erroneous belief that their approach is holistically and humanistically A K oriented, but in reality it is still transmissive, transformational, or cognitive-constructivist.

One of more efficient and fun ways, on how to help children ONA though their struggles and to teach them how to control their emotions are activities and therapy L P with animals. In 1960s, child psychotherapist Boris Levinson suggested using animals as co-ther-ART apists, as they are supposed to help ‘break the ice’ with individuals, who are a bit more guarded. ICIP Today, all kinds of pets are used for therapy purposes, not only dogs and horses, but also goats, ATI cows, pigs, lamas, alpacas, chickens, rabbits, cats and even rats. Each of which have specific qual-ON A ities, that we can use for therapy. But common to all is the trigger for wanting touch and curi-LL A osity. Which is important for learning new knowledge. Children are very aware, that animals BO do not judge them, that leads them to be more relaxed. Petting animals also triggers releasing UT P oxytocin, which lowers stress levels and fear, works and an antidepressant, speeds up the need EO for socialization and connection to others. Children experience the feeling of being adored and PLE needed, strengthen self-control, confidence and take control of themselves and their surround- : R ings.

Despite its efficiency and accessibility, clini-E: R cians have raised concerns about privacy, safety, and technology limitations in the therapeutic pro-R cess. In the last years the number of research publications in the field of telepsychiatry multiplied. A GEKV Methods: We will systematically review empirical publications in the field of telepsychiatry, consid-LO ering medical databases, e. g. PubMed, as well as guidelines and available ethical recommendations. A Č Results: Clinicians are well aware of the many implications of telepsychiatry, however this ap-O Z proach is far from suitable for all patients and clinical circumstances. Other than the limitations ELEŽB caused by specific psychopathology, therapists emphasize their own lack of competencies, they D raise issues of safety, confidentiality and doubt about the quality of care. O UND Discussion: Available technical solutions enable non-physical contact with patients which un-OR doubtedly has some advantages, especially in times of crisis such as the pandemic. In the future AN we will likely use a hybrid approach in mental health care and treatment. It takes time to eval-ED uate practices and form solid professional and ethical guidelines, it is an ongoing process. The unsolved dilemmas of telepsychiatry need to be addressed urgently.

The causes of sarcopenia can be divided into biological and ELEŽBD behavioural. Nutrition, diet and eating habits of an individual constitute a behavioural cause that O U might importantly contribute to sarcopenia. The study aimed to determine if the nutrition status ND of active older adults is related to sarcopenic characteristics. We included 52 older adults, aged ORA 75.9 ± 5.3. Sarcopenic characteristics were evaluated with the following three tests; handgrip N test, skeletal muscle index and gait speed. Nutrition status was evaluated with the Mini nutrition-ED al assessment (MNA), while the Mediterranean lifestyle was evaluated with the questionnaire CA Z M MEDLIFE. We used Pearson’s coefficient to determine the correlation between sarcopenic charac-EN teristics and nutrition status or Mediterranean lifestyle. Simple linear regression was used to test FER if nutrition status or Mediterranean lifestyle significantly predicted selected sarcopenic charac-NO teristics. The results showed a moderate positive correlation between nutrition status and gait A K speed in males, r(20)=0.452 (p=0.035). The fitted regression model was Y=0,841 + 0.068*MNA.

Prof. Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Hospital „Martin Horvat“ Rovinj ABSTRACT Back in 2019, an enthusiastic team of various experts from Rijeka and Istria started developing the idea of establishing an Early Intervention Team for children with neurological risks and developmental difficulties at the Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Hospital in Rovinj. Despite numerous challenges the team is boldly moving forward. At the time when many things seemed impossible (the beginning of the pandemic), united in the mission to succeed, the extraordinary leadership of the Hospital provided funds from the Istrian County and numerous donators. The Team, consisting of pediatrician, speech therapist, psychologist, educational rehabilitator and occupational therapist started to work in August 2020. The Hospital already had specialists in physical and rehabilitation medicine and with the functional connection of Rovinj’s Hospital with Children’s Hospital Srebrnjak in Zagreb, the clinical support of neuropediatricians was also provided. The last phase of development, planned for 2022, refers to the opening of a children‘s rehabilitation department that not only contributes to better quality of services but also sustainability and the possibility of long-term monitoring and provision of therapeutic services to patients in their local community.

The aim of our research was to present and describe the role of the operating room OR nurse in providing asepsis and aseptic technique. Data were obtained through a questionnaire AN and interviews of operating nurses in the field of orthopedics’ and abdominal surgery from ED the University Medical Center Maribor, Slovenia. The obtained results showed that operating room nurses know the importance of asepsis and perform high-level aseptic techniques.

We used a quantitative method of work. 101 L P people participated in the research, 46 of whom were employed in Slovenia and 55 in Austria. ART In a study conducted using Microsoft Excel and SPSS, we found similar results. The difference in ICIP satisfaction is visible in education and training opportunities and working conditions and wag-ATI es. Here, satisfaction is higher among employees in Austria. We found that employees in Austria ON A are not statistically more satisfied than employees in Slovenia. Statistically, employees in Austria LL A are more inclined to perform work tasks that go beyond their competencies. The statement that BO the surveyed employees in Austria are statistically less burdened in their work and more often UT P receive relief than employees in Slovenia is not true. Motivation at work and well-being at work EO are better among employees in Austria, but Austrians feel stress more often. The propensity for PLE the profession is higher in Austria, as employees here would be more likely to choose the same : R profession again. In Austria, fewer employees are considering changing jobs and fewer would ELEV actually change jobs if the opportunity arose. ANC The need for health professionals is growing. In Slovenia, we will have to take care of good and E O better working conditions in home care, because otherwise the staff will go where the working F SC conditions will be more appropriate.

About a year ago, a vaccine appeared and people started vaccinating it to further protect ION A the population. The research focused on the opinion of health professionals about their view of L vaccination and its effectiveness. L A BO Method: The research work was carried out according to the descriptive qualitative method of UT P work. Data were collected through a structured interview. The research in the empirical part was EO carried out on 6 employees of health workers in the health center Murska Sobota. PLE Results: The interviewees included one general practitioner, a graduate physiotherapist, a mid- : RE wife and three graduate nurses. All interviewees were vaccinated with a vaccine from Pfizer Bi-LEV oNTech. In general, we found that healthcare professionals were of the opinion that the vaccines ANC were effective and with few side effects, especially pain and redness at the injection site. HowevE O er, they also state that the symptoms are usually milder in the vaccinated than in the unvaccinat-F SC ed. The main decisions for vaccination were to protect themselves from possible infection and to IEN facilitate the course of the disease in the event of infection. CE A Discussion: We have found that the most current topic in the world at the moment is Covid - 19 ND E and vaccination against Covid - 19. Among the interviewed health professionals, we can see that DU the opinions that vaccinated people have an easier course of the disease and also recover faster CAT and have fewer consequences after infection, and we also found that the interviewees agree ION with vaccination against Covid - 19, because that the vaccine is sufficiently effective and that we have sufficient information about the vaccine and its side effects.

But many complex algorithmic systems that offer the greatest hope for dramatic advances in medicine often fail to meet the strict criteria of European Commission – e.g. they often do not ELEVA operate transparently. As one of the criteria for assessing the ethical use of AI, I propose the crite-E: RR rion of successful performance, since perhaps systems that work consistently well could be trust-A G ed even if they do not meet the criterion of transparency. Here we encounter the problem of the EKV relationship between trust and performance. Not only does our trust in AI depend on the success-LO ful operation of the systems, but the success of their operation depends on our trust, since their A Č performance also relies on the use of data we provide for system‘s learning. Perhaps the only O Z way out of this circular problem is to trust AI systems before they are completely trustworthy.

They do have the possibility of legal aid in our country, but not all of BO them, and the way to this can be time-consuming and difficult for pensioners.

Several scholars have pointed A Č O Z out several legal aspects of the public health emergency during the recent months. Significant contributions have focused on the extra-ordinary restrictions on fundamental rights and also ELEŽB the separation of powers aspects of the crisis. However the comparative analysis of the related D constitutional case law is still to be systematized by the literature. The constitutional courts (or O UND supreme courts with constitutional review competencies) have reflected on several aspects of OR the pandemic. The deeper understanding of this constitutional practice would lead to the recon-AN sideration of several issues even in the theoretical and practical field concerning the scope and ED the extent of emergencies, the limitations on fundamental rights during these periods, on the separation of powers between the main constitutional actors under extra-ordinary circumstanc-CA Z M es, and also on the constitutional impact of a global pandemic.

However, the legal order is not (yet) completely prepared for ATIO the use of neuroscientific discoveries in evidence law, since the interdisciplinary field of neuro-NA science and evidence law (neurolaw) is relatively new. Therefore, it is not surprising that legal L PA rules do not (directly) regulate the use of neuroscientific discoveries in evidence law. The use of RT neuroscientific discoveries can lead to violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms. The ICIP main legal limitation when using neuroscientific discoveries in evidence law is the constitutional ATI provision that ensures the inviolability of human physical and mental integrity, his privacy and ON A personal rights (Article 35 of the Constitution). The above-mentioned constitutional provision LL A protects cognitive freedom and mental privacy.

RB IK POVZONN IR Rok Dacar, Assistant STI I ZBO University of Maribor, Faculty of Law ONAN CA Z ABSTRACT N Traditionally, fundamental rights only have a very limited role in competition law assessments, ELEVA namely that of guaranteeing procedural fairness. However, recent technical and legal developE: R ments might change the relationship between these two legal fields and cause an integration of R fundamental rights, especially the right to the protection of privacy, in competition law assess-A GEK ments. In its revolutionary decision in the Facebook case, the German Federal Cartel Office (BKA) VLO stated that an abuse of the right to privacy, if caused by a company with a dominant position on A Č a market and if due to this dominant position, can constitute an abuse of a dominant position O Z (Fakebook’s dominant position on the market for social networks in the case in question). However, the European Commission and the European Court of Justice, in their case law, adopted the ELEŽBD position that questions related to the right to privacy are, as such, not relevant to competition O U law. Fundamental right can, however, be considered in competition law assessments as soon ND as an action of a company constitutes a violation of fundamental rights and at the same time a ORA violation of competition law. Furthermore, the right to privacy can also be taken in account as a N non-monetary parameter of competition.

O A N CT F S EREN Mark Rush, PhD, Prof. CE W Washington and Lee University ITH INTE ABSTRACT RNAT In The Perilous Public Square, Daphne Keller asks “Does the internet context change First Amend-IO ment analysis?” (p. 214). I contend that the answer is an unqualified “yes” and that judges must NAL P not hesitate to incorporate “contextual change” into their jurisprudence. AR I draw upon Mary Anne Franks (Cult of the Constitution), Genevieve Lakier (numerous articles on TIC contemporary speech), Ran Hirschl (City, State), Ross Mittiga (American Political Science Review IPAT January 2022), and others to argue that constitutionally exogenous factors such as population ION A growth, urbanization, wealth (and inequality), and scientific/technological advances require the L rearticulation of the scope and definition of individual rights and government powers. This is not L A B unprecedented. Advances in technology (the telephone) resulted in a judicial reconsideration of OU privacy notions such as “search and seizure.” Economic changes and the great depression result-T PE ed in fundamental changes in the U.S. Supreme Court’s approach to property rights. OPL So, yes, the interne does change First Amendment analysis (or, the analysis of free speech in E: R general). I argue that this change necessitates a recalibration of notions of liberalism to enable ELE governments to take the steps necessary to protect all citizens from speech-based harms arising VAN from what continues to be a liberal, market-based, laissez faire approach to free speech. This is CE O not a new claim. John Stuart Mill acknowledged the need to restrict freedom when the external F S cost of its exercise harmed others. Contemporary critics argue that empowering government to CIE constrain free speech smacks of authoritarianism. But, it does not. Such hyperbole is ground-NCE A ed on antiquated visions of society that no longer apply to a world that is much more crowded, N technologically advanced, and threatened by challenges of a global scope that was unheard of D E D in Mill’s day.

In most cases introduced, criminal sanctions have been imposed on those, who LO disseminate fake news during the emergency situations. The supporters of these steps argued, A Č that when the people are more isolated they have - especially the vulnerable layers of the sociO Z ety – less possibility to verify the credibility of information, the spread of false communications could cause severe disorder in the society, and undermine considerably the trust in public author-ELEŽBD ities, who are responsible for organising the collective efforts against the pandemic. For these O UN reasons, during emergencies, criminal sanctions may be considered applicable commensurately DO in a broader circle against those, who convey misleading messages. By contrast, dissenters held, RA that the extra-ordinary circumstances only provide an additional ground for governments to jus-NED tify their endeavours to control media, civil society, and especially the marketplace of ideas with silencing opposing views. Criminal law should be used just as an ultima ratio against those who CA Z M just express their thoughts, and although the emergency may require the sanctioning of certain, EN otherwise acceptable messages, these cases should be demarcated rigorously, and be inter-FERN preted the narrowest possible. Moreover, the practice shows, that the authorities apply these O restrictions arbitrarily several times, whilst these amendments stay in force even after the end A K of the public health emergency. Our aim is to analyse the conflicting arguments in these cases; to EN enumerate the available examples of such restrictions and their practical experience; as well as STVNA elaborate on the relevant constitutional case law.

Within the frame-N work of legislative precautions the version of the offence that could be committed during a special legal order was introduced by the Parliament as section 337(2) of the Criminal Code by Act XII ELEVA of 2020 on the containment of Coronavirus, which can be committed in the mentioned period E: RR (e.g.: during a state of danger according to section 53 of the Fundamental Law), in front of a large A G audience by stating or disseminating any untrue fact or any distorted true fact that is capable of EKV hindering or frustrating the efficiency of protection. LO The Constitutional Court accepted the petition against the offence of spreading rumours defined A Č O Z in 2020, in the context of the coronavirus epidemic, which entered into force on 31 March 2020, and examined its merits. Decision of the Constitutional Court on scare-mongering, as the only ELEŽB substantive decision of the Constitutional Court, declared that the criminal offence in question D does not violate freedom of expression and the principle of nullum crimen sine lege, because O UND it does not contain elements that are inherently uninterpretable and inapplicable in the light of OR the practice of criminal courts, and the norm is sufficiently defined and constitutes a necessary AN and proportionate restriction of freedom of expression.

The second category is constitutions that require A Č O Z judicial review of the election results but not judicial review by the highest court.

Mostly, these relate to A GEK legal systems that are struggling to keep pace with rapid technological developments. The latter VLO often puts State Prosecutors in a challenging position of not only having to effectively protect the A Č public interest and safeguarding legally protected values but also suspects’ rights. The differenc-O Z es between the systems of the different states also pose a particular challenge, given that cybercrime cases often have international elements. As the level of digital operations is increasing, it ELEŽBD is therefore important that digitisation does not place additional burden on State Prosecutors, O U but allows for transparent operations and prevents, to the highest possible extent, the misuse of ND particularly sensitive personal data stored in the information system of the prosecution service.

NATI Method/approach: It maps the mission statements of the archives under study and identifies priON ority concepts as reflected in these governing statements. This data is further analysed to explore AL P to what extent the ethical dimension is reflected. Furthermore, it maps the different professions ART that lead national archive institutions in their daily operations and to what extent the different ICI professions are guided by ethical norms. PATIO Results: The study indicates that there are a number of operations such as preservation, conser-N A vation, research, appraisal, and legal decision making that dictate what national archives in EU LL A countries consider as their core operations. Thus, the ethical dimension has to be assessed in con-BO junction with the ethical norms of a multitude of professions around which the organisational UT P culture of these national archives forms.

Prof. ZO N N I R University of Bologna STI I ZBO ONA ABSTRACT N CA Z Email is the most widely used communication tool in many areas of our society today. Email is N used not only as a means of transmitting documents, but as documents themselves (‘email as record’). As a result, the importance of email archives has grown dramatically and their preser-ELEVA vation has become imperative. E: RR However, email has arguably become the most time-consuming activity in our work: we spend A G most of our working time writing and responding to email, and the time required is increasing EKV every day. In addition, other alternative forms of communication, such as messages on WhatsApp, LO LinkedIn, Facebook or other social networks are beginning to be used in place of email, with very A Č O Z negative consequences for the proper creation of archival aggregations. The use of email should also be evaluated from an ecological point of view, since each email sent or received has a signif-ELEŽB icant impact on the carbon footprint. Despite these critical issues, it should be noted that there D are no shared reflections on these issues, nor best practices that can provide guidance and refer-O UND ence. For example, there are no guidelines or recommendations for the management of e-mail OR archives from their creation to their preservation; there are no recommendations on the “ethical” AN use of e-mail in order to minimize the time we spend daily to its management. This paper aims to ED analyze the state of the art on this subject and to propose some useful recommendations. CA Z M Keywords: Ethics, Management, E-mail EN FERNO A K EN STVNAN 9.

The central issue is EKV whether the archives and archivists can „feel“ emotional sources and the ethical problems that LO derive from them in archival praxis, primarily in the archival description. A Č O Z Method: The paper is based on the review of available literature and the analysis of the descriptions of several archival collections as examples that raise severe professional and ethical con-ELEŽB cerns of the archival profession and objectivity. Comparing different types of emotional sources D encapsulated various historical and thematically different stories. O UND Results: The suggested term embodies a set of deeply disturbing content of texts, photos, and ORA moving images that temporarily excludes our rational cognition of the archival processing and N description because the archivists act under the impact of both emotional content and context ED information. The paper analyzes how emotional sources possess multiple personal but societal CA Z M meanings that are difficult to detect at first glance and could be crucial for rightful and ethical EN archival descriptions. FERN Conclusions: Emotional sources appear to be challenging to define and fully describe. Each ar-O chival collection possesses specific language, terminology, historical frame, contextual informa-A K tion that make it difficult for archivists to apply uniformed ethical principles.

These issues are further compounded by the evolving nature of records E: R themselves, morphing from analog to digital forms or their being born-digital objects. In this R paper, the author will recall and reflect upon her experience of confronting an ethical quandary A GEK very early in her tenure at her present employer, a publicly-funded university. The ethical quan-VLO dary in question was one related to theses written and delivered as graduation requirements A Č across seven graduate programs in the university; upon deposit, they were deemed part of the O Z College Archives. The theses’ accessibility was dramatically reduced after legacy theses were digitized and due to a major pivot regarding their storage and retrieval protocols. This extreme ELEŽBD shift towards access reduction is one that the writer believes to be unethical in an archives do-O U main given the “more rather than less” access paradigm within the profession and which digiti-ND zation typically promises. ORA Methods / Approach: The writer interviewed relevant stakeholders within the library in which NED she works to explore alternative approaches and ascertain ways to mitigate the existing, will-fully imposed firewall between external researchers and relevant content. She also offered a CA Z M review of the relevant literature regarding ethical matters as they relate to managing digital EN theses and dissertations. FERN Results: The writer measured her environment and its current access protocols against other O like-purpose repositories that hold similar archival records. The writer discovered tenable and A K EN workable alternative approaches at least one of which she can model within her environment STV and restore the greater levels of access to the theses. NAN Conclusions / Findings: One solution to the writer’s ethical quandary is that of establishing an in-9. Z stitutional repository for the university and thereby nullifying the need to engage the fee-based, proprietary database for storage and retrieval matters.

A good Code of Ethics contains instruc-I tions and guidelines that guide the user to the final solution of the ethical dilemma. Archivists TH I already have the Code of Ethics (1997), which is written quite generally. The existing Code of NTE Ethics with its principles can serve as a basis for the development of the first Slovenian archi-RN val Code of Ethics, which will include new institutes and detailed instructions. The institute of ATIO an ethics commission would be introduced with the help of which Slovenian archivists would NA get a consultative body. The decisions of the ethics commission on specific ethical dilemmas L PA would be accessible to all archivists (e.g. publications in the journal Arhivi) and would serve as RT guidelines for them. The ethics commission would also have the right to sanction the unethical ICIP behavior of archivists. Breaking the archival oath, which would be pronounced at the end of ATIO the study of archival science or at the beginning of work in an archival institution, would be a N A dishonorable act. An oath to be taken in front of fellow archivists would commit to a Code of LL A Ethics, which would help raise the profile of archival science in the general public. In addition BO to the introduction of new institutes, the preamble of the first Slovenian archival Code of Ethics UT P would state that archival science is an independent scientific discipline that has its research EO methods, subjects, and goals. PLE: R The up-to-datedness of the Code of Ethics is necessary especially in a period when archivists face EL the challenges of information technology. Archival material appears in new forms of informa-EVA tion that require new approaches and put archivists in front of already known ethical dilemmas NC in a different form.

Prof., Senior Advisor NAN Archives of the Republic of Slovenia CA ZN ABSTRACT ELEVA In accordance with the Slovenian archival legislation, entities under public law are obliged to E: RR hand over public archival records to competent archives no later than 30 years after their crea-A G tion. The archival legislation stipulates that public legal entities are obligated to transfer even EKV those records that, taking into account sectoral legislation (ie. regulations in the field of protec-LO tion of personal data, classified information or business, tax secrecy), are contain inaccessible A Č data. In that cases public legal entities are obligated to make the archives aware on the existence O Z of such data and they shall note any restrictions to access and specific restriction deadlines. The ELEŽB legislator has determined that particularly sensitive archival records are protected by deadlines D of restricted access even after they have been transfer to public archives. These deadlines stip-O UN ulate that, for example, archival records with classified information or tax, business secrets are DO accessible only 40 years after their creation; or that archival records containing sensitive person-RAN al information are available only 75 years after their creation, or 10 years after the death of the ED individual to whom the information are related to. Nevertheless, there remains a doubt whether the periods of restricted access are long enough. Public legal entities point out that the deadlines CA Z M for restricted access, which protect the most sensitive archival records - especially in the field EN of health, or records relating to the strategic interests of the state, its national security or even FERN involvement in international institutions - are absolutely too short. Also, the creators of archival O records point out that the archival practice raises doubt that the deadlines for restricted access A K EN are absolute. The archival legislation allows exceptions concerning restricted access, insofar as STV records containing inaccessible data are necessary to achieve scientific or journalistic goals. This NA practice, although allowed by law, unnecessarily creates mistrust between public legal entities N and archives. Especially in cases of evaluating records when the question arises of which interest 9. Z is more important - that of protecting archival cultural heritage or the interest of the state.

LL A Results: Both in terms of content and production and in terms of technical appraisal of television BO material, we encountered problems arising from the transition to electronic archiving. User’s UT P decisions that all material can be archived are the result of insufficiently developed appraisal cri-EO teria. At the same time, we find that electronic archiving is very complex and unnecessary errors PLE occur due to the lack of archive standards. The complexity of electronic archiving is reflected in : RE the large number of television systems that deliver electronic records to the archive.

Given the trend towards EO the development of information reuse, it is to be expected that archival activity will become PLE more burdened and at the same time, even more appreciated. : REL Conclusion/findings: We find that the field of reuse of information brings the potential for more EVA efficient work of certain organizations and the potential for the development of new services NC in the economy, which the use of this existing information allows. We note that the path of en-E O F S couragement of the field by the state and the European side is smart.

The archivist‘s traditional role is N slowly changing with the publication of archival databases online, and the independence of the user of online archival databases is increasingly emphasized. Online databases are de-ELEVA signed for just that, regardless of the type of user and regardless of the purpose for which the E: RR user searches for information. A G Method/approach: Literature and researches in the field studied were collected. The compilation EKV method was used to summarize the results of researches conducted so far in Slovenia regarding LO users and online archival collections. Due to the coronavirus epidemic and the consequent limitA Č O Z ed access to libraries and other institutions where even more resources and data could be found, the author was limited to resources available online. ELEŽBD Results: Users of online archival databases are partly independent, but they face various limi-O U tations arising from themselves (level of information literacy, motivation, experience), system ND design of search engines in databases, ignorance of archival terminology and organization. and ORA inventory of archival material. NED Conclusions/findings: Further research of users of archives and online archive collections is needed. Inventories of archival material must be accurate, descriptors must be more user-friend-CA Z M ly, and query systems must be user-friendly, as the performance of an institution or public ser-EN vice, including archives, is measured by user satisfaction.

We will also define the archive as a modern educational environment NTE and examine the pedagogical value of archival materials. RNAT Method: We used the method of a questionnaire and a review of the archives‘ websites to ex-IO amine the pedagogical offer of Slovenian archives. Through a study of the literature, We ex-NAL P amined the archive as a modern learning environment and the pedagogical value of archival A materials. Based on the results of research and study of literature, we designed the concept of RTIC archival education. IPAT Results: The pedagogical offer of Slovenian archives is recognizable, but not sufficiently ex-ION A ploited. Archive websites do not offer online resources for students and teachers. There is also L a noticeable lack of standards and common guidelines for archival pedagogy, which is the main L A B reason for the underutilization of the pedagogical potential of archives. The archives adapt their OU offer according to personnel, material conditions and their interests. They express their willing-T PE ness to cooperate and to adapt the offer to the needs of education. OPL Conclusions/findings: The educational potential of Slovenian archives and archival material is E: R recognizable, but not sufficiently exploited, as it is limited to the mediation of cultural heritage ELE and the promotion of archival activities. The condition for the effective use of the educational VAN potential of archival material is its adaptation to the curricula and developmental level of stu-CE O dents. It is also necessary to implement the workplace of archival educator, to include archival F S education in regular curriculum at all levels of education and to develop guidelines or standards CIE that would unify the archival pedagogical activity. After meeting the requirements, the archive NCE A will become an effective learning environment and a reliable partner for educational system.

Moral judgements indubitably address the most basic life CA ZN questions, which we cannot utter and only show themselves at the linguistic margins. Therefore, ethical value statements only manifest themselves and cannot be conveyed in natural language ELEVA sentences. In his late philosophy, Wittgenstein radically changes his philosophical position. He E: R views inexpressible moral judgements differently in close connection to the concepts of certain-R ty and knowledge. Accordingly, one can say that ‘A is certain of p’ does not entail saying ‘A knows A GEK that p’, as the idea of certainty does not presuppose the concept of knowledge and the other way VLO around. For example, if one says that ‘It is not certain that James Bond is still alive’, that does not A Č mean that ‘Nobody knows if James Bond is still active’, but that at least ‘Miss Moneypenny knows O Z he is still alive’. Consequently, we can be certain of something without knowing and be in a state of knowledge without being certain.The paper will examine and compare divergent positions ELEŽBD on ethics in Wittgenstein’s early and late philosophy with the concept of certainty.

They N have sought patrons, expanded the market for their artworks, connected with other artistic TER communities and, above all, changed their environment as a source of inspiration for their ar-NAT tistic creativity. International cultural cooperation encompasses the promotion of openness, the ION creation of international networks, touring, artist residencies and other ways of networking. AL P Mobility of artists and other cultural professionals is becoming a European imperative, mobility AR from one residency to another even a survival strategy for some. Calls to promote the mobility of TIC artists internationally are an important factor in supporting artists in the field of cultural policy. IPAT New technologies and digitalisation are slowly but steadily helping to shape new concepts of ION A artist residencies. New forms of digital and virtual artist residencies are evolving. In a period LL A when mobility in all fields is restricted due to the epidemic of Covid 19, they become important B ways for international networking and partially preserved mobility of artists. I would like to con-OUT P clude that new concepts cannot replace physical mobility but can significantly complement it and E thus have a positive impact on artists‘ resilience in epidemiologically uncertain times.

The Nature Worshippers’ community dwelt in remote areas of Western TER Slovenia until mid-20th century and displayed premodern and pre-Christian cultural features. NAT Its existence had been concealed from the majority society for security reasons. Slovenian (sci-IO entific) public learned of the Nature Worshippers through ethnography recently published by a NAL P collector of cultural heritage Pavel Medvešček Klančar who was allowed to disclose his findings A half a century after he had first come in contact with the Nature Worshippers. General public RTI responded to the disclosure enthusiastically, but the scientific community has remained largely CIPAT reserved and suspicious of Medvešček’s credibility. ION A Nature Worship is a research topic that requires a combination of basic and applied research and L includes several challenging issues such as the correct denomination of the community, the issue L A B of corroboration of data and authenticity of sources and the consideration of premodern knowl-OU edge production methods in Western science.

Political practices of exclusion in the context of the formation of the Slovene national E: RR economy are studied in the case of credit and productive cooperatives in Slovene regions at A G the end of the 19th and in the first third of the 20th century, developed by all political par-EK ties; cooperatives then became one of the areas of political divisions, i.e., division into “ours VLO and yours”. The roots of this economic project go back to the 1880s; first in the form of savings A Č banks in urban centres (liberal Schultze-Delitsch model), later in the form of rural loans and O Z handicraft cooperatives (Catholic “Raiffeisen” model). Over the decades, cooperatives have established themselves as the first Slovenian alternative development model to mitigate the ELEŽBD effects of capitalism. The aim of the research is to measure the real power of the discourse of O U exclusion in regulating everyday human relations. The innovativeness of the approach is in NDO researching the importance of egalitarian cooperative ideology for the development of an-RA ti-capitalist parties and movements in Slovenia and the formation of a new scientific concept NED of “quasi-anti-capitalism”. The aim of the research is therefore a new social Slovenian history of the modern period. The research includes the reconstruction of fragments of life stories of CA Z M ordinary people, their political and economic activities, and will contribute to the develop-EN ment of the popular research field of “microhistory”.

Its headquarters was ATIO founded on June 20, 1920, in Novi Sad, today’s Serbia, and originally operated as a nonpolitical NA organization with the basic intention of safekeeping and preventing violation of German minor-L PA ity rights and preserving German activities in areas of everyday life. The first beginnings of Kul-RT turbund associations in Slovenia date to 1922, with the establishment of a short-lived local ed-ICIP ucational group under the Kulturbund in Kočevje, home to the largest German community apart ATI from Styria. Especially after Hitler’s and Nazism’s rise to power in January 1933, the organization ON A transformed itself into one of the key formations of the underground fifth column and became LL A strongly radicalized and Nazified, which had terrible and deadly consequences on Slovenian in-BO telligentsia and nationally conscious families after Nazi Germany invasion of Kingdom Yugosla-UT P via in April 1941. Members of the Kulturbund took to spying, treasonous, and snitching activities, EO in addition with intensively spreading Nazi propaganda and demagoguery, pasting Nazi symbols PLE and flags, and collecting classified and sensitive information on the country and those who acted : RE against the Germans and Germany. Based on that, secret intelligence lists of allegedly suspicious LEV and dangerous persons to be arrested and evicted were already drawn up in the prewar period. AN During the attack, members of the Kulturbund provided the invasion forces with reconnaissance CE O on the ground, translators of signposts and other visual markers, guides, and instructors. Follow-F S ing the takeover of municipal administrations and the formation of the occupation government CIEN apparatus, they were repaid for their effort by being granted prominent positions in occupation CE A offices as well as Nazi clubs, organizations, associations, and other structures of the occupier’s ND E authority. Some even joined paramilitary forces and special SS Untersteiermark units. After the D war, they found themselves on the losing side and consequently faced revenge and retaliation UC after the new socialist government declared them a treasonous fifth-column organization.

However, he did not use the word of dignity. But he was not alone. In this period many humanists concentrated their thoughts and investigations on the human being, E: RR that is why conventionally Renaissance is often misunderstood as the period of the birth of the A G anthropocentric view. In fact, the spiritual searches of the humanists have been moving signif-EKV icantly in the vastness between God and man. On the contrary, the understanding of God at the LO time may have been called for a revaluation, but there was no denial or rejection, much less an A Č O Z independent human system. The spirit of man was merely radicalized, most often in reflection on the rejection of paganism. The individual being was beginning to realize not only his own free ELEŽB will but also the limitations and negative consequences of his own will. Marsilio Ficino wrote an D influential philosophical study on the Platonic system of thinking, Nikolai Kuzanski perhaps the O UND most rigorously tried to place the man in the creation of God. The increase in the personal testi-OR monies became a rich source of humanistic attempts to transcend the limitations of the existence AN of the individual. This emerged in the detecting human notes on the instability of the human ED position and hurt also the fragility of the inner world of those humans, who were indifferent, responsive and thinking believers. However, in these individual contributions one could seek also CA Z M for more desperate tone, that could be linked to the melancholy (the poetry of Michelangelo, EN Vittoria di Colonna, Pierre de Ronsard). But in fact, these contributions were characteristic for FERNO solitary, self-directed, but extremely pronounced individualities with increased self-reflection A K and a strong note of creativity.

Will Ais ever be considered persons? This is a problem-L PA atic question because personhood, as a legal construct, is binary. Relationship is a non-binary RT category, so it makes sense to ask how authentic any relationship we have with an AI can be. Karl ICIP Barth presents four criteria for authentic relationship: to look the other in the eye, to speak to and ATI hear the other, to aid the other, and to do it gladly. ON A The final criterion is a sticking point with AI. Can computers do anything gladly? Computers will LL A increasingly recognize emotional cues and give emotionally salient responses. But emotion is BO a three-step process. We apprehend a stimulus, experience a bodily feeling, and formulate a UT P response. Without a body, the process reduced to stimulus, calculation, response. There are hu-EOP mans similarly lacking the physical reaction—we call them sociopaths. Those who do not feel LE: R another’s pain tend toward objectification, treating persons as things. This confusion of person E and thing, of real emotion with act, is especially salient to the rapidly evolving development of LEV sex bots.

Prof. NC University of Groningen and Institute for Philosophical Studies, Science and Research Centre of Koper E W ITH INT ABSTRACT ERN In this paper, we are discussing technopaganism as an illuminating test case of ascribing ‘reATI ligion’. Beyond the well-established Abrahamic religions, ascribing or not ascribing ‘religion’ ONA to socio-cultural phenomena is wrought with cultural, social, political, spiritual and secular L P significance, as well as wrought with various theoretical problems. This is manifested in an ART interesting way in the case of technopaganism: a term encompassing a variety of practices ICIP and expressions related to contemporary Paganism, popular culture, and spiritual pursuits in ATI digital environments since the 1990s. Many self-described technopagans would not consider ON A themselves as ‘religious’, nor technopaganism as ‘religion’. Against this background, we ex-LL A plore what it means to nevertheless describe this borderline phenomenon as ‘religion’, basing BO our investigation on a combination of Wittgensteinian-pragmatist and semiotic approaches. UT P In line with the former, we begin by taking ‘religion’ and ‘technopaganism’ as family-resem-EO blance concepts: no exhaustive definition or ‘essence’ of either religion or technopaganism PLE is needed in order for these concepts to work – and to work together. Furthermore, since re- : R ligion is “what we are willing and able to take it to be” (De Vries/Cavell), ascribing ‘religion’ ELEV to technopaganism assumes responsibility for this discursive move which can reach beyond a AN merely academic context. Finally, and according to the semiotic perspective consistent with CE O the above, we suggest that describing technopaganism as ‘religion’ means interpreting the F S practitioners as poetically rewriting digital environments and their functions as sacred ‘spaces’ CIE and ritual practices, respectively, and through this, re-enchanting the experiential and social NCE A worlds enabled by contemporary digital technology.

This anniversary is an opportunity and an obligation to pay tribute to Janko Bezjak as AR the pioneer in the field of establishing Slovenian as the language of instruction within the then TIC Habsburg monarchy, as well as highlight further areas of his activity. Considering that his figure IPAT and his achievements in several areas have only been explored to a limited extent, the anniver-ION A sary should be comprehended as a call and an impulse for a deeper understanding of his actions, L as this will facilitate a more complete and objective overall picture of his societal role and greatL A B ness which have so far obviously been overlooked or even neglected. The life and work of Janko OU Bezjak have so far primarily been a subject of lexicographical studies, where individual entries or T PE general descriptions were referred to and also his most important works were stated.

His findings in this work made him one of the CA ZN most important critics and theorists of the postcolonial era.

But his detailed critique of the Western system, including its scientific research and de-A GEK velopment, does not want to “defend Islam and the Orient,” nor does he intend to further deepen VLO the differences between East and West. By drawing attention to such mistakes, he urges future A Č intellectuals and researchers to be aware of the impact of their own culture and environment O Z on their work, to arm themselves with critical thinking, and to be ready to accept critiques and suggestions from the rest of the scientific community.

RTI In the body of post-Yugoslav cinema one can detect two basic artistic approaches: instrumental, CIPAT where films serve as conveyors of ideological messages of authorities, and autonomous, which IO may also carry political messages but if so, the messages stand for subjective artistic commen-N A taries on social reality.

These are important questions to think about dance mediation. TER Deleuze places creation as an act of resistance, where it becomes an object of encounter with NAT multiplicities. Baldacchino relates artistic creation to education through resistance as a dis-ION jointed place. Artistic practice cannot be seen as utilitarian but as a tension producer. Teach-AL P er-student or choreographer-interpreter advocates a fundamental relation to think about me-AR diation. The didactic-democratic spectrum, proposed by Jo Butterworth, allows us to reveal TIC the elasticity in the relationship between the agents of creation. She proposes that through IPAT the devising process the interpreter actively participates as a thinker about the choreographic ION A work and its construction. This is important to dance mediation because it places the agents as L active characters in the process of mediation between them and the choreographic work. At-L A B kinson allows us to think about the planar character in artistic practice since it places both, the OU teacher/mediator, and the student, in a state of becoming. This allows the agents to transcend T PE themselves and to build a new ontological plane. And turns mediation as an opportunity of OP creating and encountering multiplicities.

Since the bodily sensations and emotional experiences for contemporary danc-LL A ers are often generators of their dance material, we were interested in whether interoception is BOU related to the ability to perceive bodily sensations and to emotional awareness?

The cri-N A sis as a phenomenon can cause irreparable damage, but also, it can be an opportunity to improve LL A the organization itself. Well-developed strategic communication can greatly contribute to re-BO ducing the damage caused by the crisis itself and thus preserve good business. UT P The paper deals with the analysis of the importance of successful communication, type and caus-EOP es of the crisis and the strategic communication of an organization at the time of the particu-LE: R lar crisis situation. The important fact is that there is no organization which has developed crisis EL avoidance system as an occurrence, and crisis communication is an area that is closely related to EVA resolving and mitigating the negative effects of the crisis itself to the organization. NCE O An example of crisis communication in this paper is shown through the crisis situation of the so-F S cial network Facebook-Camridge Analytic in 2018, which echoed strongly in all world media.

Social media development gave way to utter change of the manner in which people ONA communicate.

Within the Euro-BO pean Union, more economically developed countries (France and Germany) and less developed UT P ones (Poland and Croatia) were selected for the analysis of economic diplomacy. The compara-EOP tive research method, by showing the similarities and differences of national economic diploma-LE: R cies, enables causally valid conclusions to be drawn from it.

Our research question is how to apply certain communication val-R ues from the theory of communicative action to a system that should enable an „ideal speech A GEK situation“ in the communication community. The basic hypothesis is that voters in the local com-VLO munity do not feel like subjects of political decision-making. For the needs of research work, we A Č will use quantitative and qualitative methods using surveys as a research tool or technique for O Z empirical research, as well as the method of analysis of existing sources. Namely, communication is the process of constituting the human community of various levels of social organization ELEŽBD and the way of functioning and ensuring their existence.

In this sense, technological advances in the development of ND information and communication technology (ICT) allow for new convergent forms of political ORA voter participation in the decision-making process.

Climate adaptation complies with PAT environmental and economic aspects by reducing energy consumption and responds to the so-ION A cial aspect by creating climate comfort. Today, due to the cheapness of fossil fuels energy, the LL A construction of Iranian buildings does not notice the climate, which causes environmental deg-B radation and threatens human health. However long ago, the climate has been considered in ar-OUT P chitecture through the body and user behaviour. This paper is illustrating what climatic solutions E have been available in the traditional architecture of historical Tabriz City. Therefore, the present OPL applied research was conducted by the descriptive-analytical method. First, ten-year climatic E: R data of Tabriz Synoptic Station were collected. Then, through their analysis, the climate of Tabriz ELE was determined and finally, the climatic solutions of the traditional architecture of the city were VAN discovered.

CA ZN Whereas, Maharishi Ayur-Veda emphasizes on the role of consciousness, the use of Transcendental Meditation, the need to express positive emotions and attuning one‘s life to the natural ELEVA rhythms of the body. According to Mahareshi Ayurveda, svastha is established in one’s own self. E: R To explain the state of perfect health is the state in which body, mind, soul and senses are in R blissful equilibrium. Svastha is determined primarily by assessing balance between the three do-A GEK shas (functional energies), the seven dhatus (bodily tissues), Agni (digestive fire) and the malas VLO (pathways of elimination). Risk factors affecting health include nutritional habits, lifesytle (psy-A Č chological stress, energy/fatigue, sleep problems), and strength of the immunity.

Three mind-body types/constitutional types referred to as Doshas, whose origin TER lies in consciousness, are the fundamental factors governing the physiology. In the Maharishi NAT Ayurveda diagnostic approach to the patient, primary attention is given to diagnosing the state ION of balance and imbalance of the Doshas. There are two aspects to the diagnosis focusing on di-AL P agnosis of the patient (Rogi Pariksha) and diagnosis of the disease (Roga Pariksha). The relation-AR ship between the patient constitutional type and the nature of the imbalance will determine TIC the course of treatment. In order to determine this information, Maharishi Ayurveda employs of IPAT a three-fold approach to diagnosis. These are inspection (darshanam), palpation (sparshanam) ION A and history (prashnam). This presentation aims to set out how the assessment of both the patient L and the disease is carried out and further explain how this information can influence the type L A B and intensity of therapy.

Everything is connected and ENC according to Ayurveda, comprised of the five elements: earth, air, fire, water and space. And so, E W as the seasons change so do you. The seasons, like the times of day are characterised by cycles of ITH I the doshas which consist of vata, pitta and kapha. Everyone has each of these elements in their NT body and mind. Maintaining good health during all four seasons requires living in harmony with ERN these natural cycles, continually adjusting to the changes in the outer environment through the ATI food we choose to eat, the type and amount of exercise we do the clothes we wear and so on. ONA Ayurveda recognises winter as a vata/kapha season, the sky is cloudy and the weather is cold, L PA damp and heavy. Not to mention dry and windy depending on the climate you are in. Winter is RT a time to rest, reflect and hibernate. As vata/kapha dominate this season, these doshas need to ICIP be balanced with a grounding and warming diet. Its important to change our diet just like we ATIO change our wardrobe. N A As the winter season is influenced by the vata/kapha dosha people tend to see symptoms of the LL A skin and hair becoming dry, possible constipation, gas, bloating, joint dryness and stiffness. It’s BOU important that we balance these qualities through our daily routine and diet. T PE Ayurveda teaches us to include opposite qualities in our diet and lifestyle to have a more balanc-OP ing effect on our physiology. If we introduce more warming, moist, grounding, soft qualities and LE: R reduce dry, raw and cold elements in our diet and lifestyle it will help us become more balanced ELE and give our bodies what it needs for this season.

In Ayurveda that is diagnosed as fifth or even last, sixth stage ELEVA of the disease process. Ayurveda therefore describes six stages of the pathogenesis: Sanchaya E: RR (accumulation), Prakopa (aggravation), Prasara (movement), Sthanasamshraya (localisation), A G Vyakti (manifestation) and Bheda (complication). The main cause for the development of every EKV disorder and disease is Pragyaparadh or the mistaken intellect. Three basic causes of disease are LO overuse, underuse and wrong use of mind, senses and time. As a result, they lead to three ab-A Č normalities: vitiated Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha, three fundamental principles in Ayurveda), O Z vitiated Srotas (channels of circulation) and weak or dull Agni (digestive power). As prevention ELEŽB has always been the first and major goal of Ayurveda, the aim is to detect disease in earlier stage D when the disease process is easier to reverse. However, the most important is to learn how to O UN keep the balance in the individual so that one keeps the processes of disease development in the DO first two stages by feedback loops.

When it fills up, its the largest IT intermittent lake in Slovenia and even in Europe with an area of 29km2. The main feature of H IN intermittent lakes is their yearly water level changes. At a certain point of the year, the water TER completely disappears through the esophagus and leaves behind a dry fertile land which can NAT be walked on, but the local farmers cultivate it as well. At other times when water levels are IO high, the lake is used for various activities like fishing, rowing, etc. In 2007, a project started NAL P entitled LIFE Nature 06, NAT / SLO / 000069 - Intermittent Lake Cerknica that was completed in A 2009. There were 23 largest so-called actions carried out in that time. It was partially funded RTI by municipality and the participants were also volunteers. The project value was € 1,840,548. CIPAT Its purpose was to renovate the lake to such extent that the water retention time is longer in IO the summer months. This would help prolong the main part of the habitat type thus making it N A more efficient. Consequently a suitable biotope is preserved, which provides a suitable habitat LL A for the surrounding biocenosis.

They contribute ON to the health, beauty, and functionality of cities, city centres, and the urban environment. Trees AN in the city affect the temperature and humidity, retain dust particles, reduce noise and wind, and CA Z clean the air. All of the above contribute so significantly to the quality of the living environment N of people, animals and plants in the city. Trees give people a feeling of relaxation and comfort ELEVA and, last but not least, they offer shade in which we all like to take refuge on hot summer days. We are also looking for shade from trees to park vehicles during the summer heat. The trees in E: RR the city are, in addition to all the comfort that the inhabitants of the city centre offer, also a place A G where animals take refuge. However, for both residents and animals to enjoy the positive effects EKV of trees, we need to take proper and regular care of them. Careful planning is therefore required LO for new tree plantings in cities. It is necessary to check all the conditions that the tree will have at A Č O Z a given location and choose the right type of tree accordingly. The article would maintain existing trees in the city centre and plan new plantings. ELEŽBD Keywords: tree, city, green area O UNDORANED CA Z M EN FERNO A K EN STVNAN 9.

Therefore, in China, in the AR name of environmental protection, ideas have been developed for the implementation of the TIC project of so-called „green livable villages“, environmental monitoring, which are part of rural IPAT ecoremediation (rural ERM). This incentive was launched in 2019 and is funded by the Ministry of ION A Science and Technology of the People‘s Republic of China. The project is focused on detecting and L monitoring ecological hazards, anticipating natural disasters, tracking pollutant resources and L A B ecological remediation, which includes various types of remediation on soil, surface water and OU groundwater. All this is connected by information technology with the development of new in-T PE novative biological, chemical or mechanical devices, which are already accompanied by artificial OP intelligence. The project follows the discovery of ecological degradation of the environment „in LE: R situ“. Rural ERM include, in addition to research, contaminated soil, surface standing and running EL water, groundwater, as well as hilly areas and even ecosystems in cold areas with successions of EVA certain communities of organisms. The concept of sustainable development is therefore deter-NCE O mined in China by the idea of less and less uncontrolled urbanization and industrialization in the F S natural environment, which includes untouched nature and cultural landscape. This idea grad-CI ually introduces the blurring of the urban with the rural, ie the idea of „green livable villages“, ENC which coordinates the new potential of agriculture and ecological integrity or. ecological preser-E A vation of the environment. Excessive agricultural exploitation of nature, increasing toxicity, due ND E to pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, due to livestock, has left consequences on DU the pollution of soil, water and consequently also leaves health consequences on humans CATI Keywords: rural ERM, green livable villages, remediation, pollutant ON 353 HIGH SCHOOL RESEARCH B 9 OOK th STUDENT PANELS SC O IE F N A TI B F DATA MINING APPLIED TO INSTAGRAM POSTS S IC C TR O A N CT F S E Gaja Đukanović Babič REN II. gimnazija Maribor CE W Supervisors: PhD Sašo Karakatič, Mitja Osojnik ITH INTE ABSTRACT RNAT In today’s world, we are flooded with an enormous amount of data from various sources ION around the web. For example, social media, site Instagram. Data mining can be used to AL P extract patterns from huge amounts of data. For this research, data mining techniques ART were applied on Instagram posts about the town Maribor. For more than a month, the ICIP system collected all Instagram posts with #maribor. On the collected data, an analysis ATIO was conducted with the help of Jupyter Notebooks, Pandas, Seaborn and Scikit-learn, N A which researched on the patterns connected with my hometown. 18426 posts with LL A #maribor were analyzed, among them 11998 different hashtags appeared. After remov-BOU ing hashtags that refer to towns, e.g., #ljubljana (data cleaning), the most frequently T PE used hashtags were referring to nature, beauty, trip, love, autumn, but mostly about OPL makeup. The extracted patterns have been represented by classification decision trees E: R and with word clouds. With the developed case we can find suggestions about what ELEV Instagram users interests most and when is the best to post. This can empower local AN companies, tourism, municipality office, and Instagram influencers. The implemented CE O system and analysis can be used to analyze other cities or any other hashtag.

Above A G all, the forest is the part of nature that represents the most developed ecosystem which gives EKV other people clean air, raw materials and a place to relax. The purpose of the task is to determine LO the change in forest health through space and time in the case of the Strojna, Kozjak and Pohorje A Č using geographic information systems and satellite images. We have determined Forest health O Z with the vegetation index NDVI, which was calculated on the basis of remote detected data from ELEŽB the Landsat and Sentinel satellites. The index shows us the relationship between the red and D near-infrared parts of the light spectrum; from its value we can infer the level of health of the O UN treatment area. We used QGIS and Excel in the research, and we used the Earth Explorer data DOR portal to obtain Landsat images. The result of the first part of the research task is a trend line AN showing the general deterioration of forest health in the study area over time. The result of the ED second part of the research project is statistical tests that confirm the impact of altitudes, slopes and exposure on forest health.

Furthermore, some bacteria can form biofilms that NAT provide additional protection from antibiotics. An alternative treatment could present bacteri-ION ophages, viruses that attack specific bacteria. In the research, we investigated the efficiency of AL P bacteriophages in reducing the formation of Serratia marcescens biofilms. ART Two bacteriophages specific for S. marcescens, were isolated and propagated from a wastewater ICIP sample, multiplied and quantified. Effect of different dilutions of bacteriophages on the forma-ATI tion of the biofilms of S. marcescens were subsequently tested with crystal violet and quantified ON A with spectrophotometer. LL A The results show that bacteriophage A successfully prevented the formation of the biofilm at all BO dilution, while the bacteriophage C did not work. The lack of effect could be due to the instability UT P of bacteriophages in buffering agent. EOP From the results, we can conclude that bacteriophages not only effectively destroy individual LE: R planktonic cells, but also prevent the formation of a biofilm of S. marcescens. In further studies, EL the effectiveness of bacteriophages on already existing biofilm and on other bacteria should be EVA tested, and could potentially be used for disinfectants and for treatments.

With fast, sensitive, and EKV cost-effective methods such as qPCR, it is possible to detect deviations in production of differ-LO ent food products, for example attempts of replacing more expensive ingredients with cheaper A Č ones in an attempt to reduce the cost of production of individual foods. A clear example of this O Z are goat and sheep cheeses, where producers mix goat / sheep milk with cheaper cow milk. This ELEŽB can cause health problems for customers as milk is one of the most allergenic foods. D O U The goal of our study was to use qPCR method with dairy products. We tested qPCR assays for the ND detection and quantification of bovine milk (cow DNA) in different cheeses made from caprine OR and/or ovine milk. To evaluate the method on actual samples, we tested 20 different caprine AN and/or ovine cheese samples. As bovine milk was detected only at levels of ≤1% in all samples, ED we concluded that the quality of goat and sheep cheeses on the Slovenian market is good, better than in the past.
