1. Education of refugee children within the INTREF project frameworkMaja Kerneža, Dejan Zemljak, Metka Kordigel Aberšek, Boris Aberšek, Polonca Legvart, Helena Konšak, Hakan Sari, Ildikó Hanuliaková, Loreta Huber, Inga Laurusone, Kübra Terzioglu, Metin Kiliç, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Amidst growing migratory movements and hurdles of assimilation, the INTREF initiative strives to craft a comprehensive strategy for the schooling of refugee children, melding e-learning, emotional and social support, along with adaptable teaching methods. This endeavor learns on principles like linguistic diversity, cross-cultural skills, and customizing the educational journey, crucial for assimilation and triumph within academic settings. Studies indicate the indispensability of bespoke linguistic assistance, cognizance of cultural variances, and personalized educational tactics for the seamless school transition and societal assimilation of children in refuge. The project devised a survey instrument aimed at evaluating the baseline educational scenario in the participating nations and formulating education plans tailored to specific needs. This survey zeroes on four pivotal areas: linguistic proficiency, cross-cultural consciousness, embracing diversity, and pedagogical customization. Feedback from 31 students, 30 teachers and 28 parents revealed a pressing need for augmented linguistic aid in Slovenia, heightened cross-cultural understanding, and classroom method modification to enrich the academic experiences of culturally diverse children. The findings also underscore a discernible discrepancy between the perspectives of educators versus those of parents and children. The insights from this survey lay the groundwork for creating innovative instructional units and resources, finely adapted to the needs of children in refuge. By forging links between theoretical insights and practical application, as well as among various educational stakeholders, INTREF is ready to enrich the discourse and practices surrounding inclusivity, and endeavor made increasingly pertinent by the recent global disruptions, including the migratory dilemma and the COVID-19 outbreak.

2. Komunikacijski model književne vzgoje v digitalno podprtih učnih okoljih za prvo vzgojno-izobraževalno obdobje : doktorska disertacijaPolonca Legvart, 2024, doctoral dissertation Abstract: Vpliv učnega okolja na književno vzgojo v začetnih letih šolanja je redkeje obravnavan vidik in še posebej digitalna podpora pri tem postavlja pedagoškemu raziskovanju nova vprašanja. Med njimi je ključno, ali lahko z didaktično uporabo digitalnih učnih pomagal izboljšamo recepcijo književnosti pri učencih. Razlogi za raziskovalno poglobitev v to vprašanje so v razmerah, ko otroci že v polni meri živijo čas digitalne družbe, cilj književne vzgoje pa je, da ta okoliščina ne bi povzročila njihovega odmika od književnosti, pač pa zbližanje z njo, saj jim književnost zagotavlja bistvene kompetence, vire in strategije za soočanje z izzivi kronične krize 21. stoletja.
Potrebne so spremembe tradicionalnega pouka književnosti z vidika upoštevanja digitalno podprtega učnega okolja, integriranja tehnologije v pedagoški pristop (TPACK in SAMR), digitalne pismenosti, digitalnega razkoraka in podpiranja »drugega tira« za otroke iz literarno manj spodbudnih okolij. Odločilno oporo nudi uveljavljeni model literarnorecepcijske in didaktične komunikacije pri književni vzgoji, ki ga je mogoče nadgraditi za digitalno podprto učno okolje.
Empirična raziskava se je osredotočila na pripravljenost učiteljev kot ključnih dejavnikov didaktičnih sprememb za vključevanje digitalnih tehnologij v izvajanje književne vzgoje. Podan je podrobnejši prikaz priprave, izvedbe in evalvacije primerov didaktičnih enot književne vzgoje v digitalno podprtem učnem okolju prvih treh razredov (1. VIO) s pristopom spojenega (blended) učenja. Glede na kompleksnost obravnavanega pojava književne vzgoje v digitalno podprtem učnem okolju je za preučevanje le-tega izbranih več raziskovalnih metod tako kvantitativnega kot kvalitativnega značaja ter komplementarni način njihovega kombiniranja ter triangulacije.
Tako teoretična izhodišča kot praktična pedagoška izkušnja ter kvalitativna in kvantitativna evalvacija le-te potrjujejo, da je komunikacijski model književne vzgoje ob ustreznih prilagoditvah izvedljiv tudi v digitalno podprtem učnem okolju. To se je kljub vsiljeni izvedbi vendarle pokazalo pri izobraževanju na daljavo zaradi epidemije COVID-19, primeri premišljene izvedbe digitalno podprte književne vzgoje v poepidemičnem obdobju pa dokazujejo, da je mogoče na ta način dodatno motivirati učence in poglobiti njihovo recepcijo literarnega dela ter tako uspešno razvijati njihovo recepcijsko zmožnost.
Pomen navedenih raziskovalnih dognanj bi lahko vplival na preobrat k pozitivni naravnanosti učiteljev do vključevanja digitalnih tehnologij v pedagoške pristope pri književni vzgoji in nasploh. S tem bi šola prevzela odločilnejšo vlogo pri usmerjanju mladih ljudi glede načinov uporabe novih komunikacijskih tehnologij.

3. The impact of psychological interventions with elements of mindfulness (PIM) on empathy, well-being, and reduction of burnout in physicians : a systematic reviewSara Onuk Tement, Zalika Klemenc-Ketiš, Špela Miroševič, Polona Selič-Zupančič, 2021, review article Abstract: Introduction: Physician's burnout has been recognized as an increasing and significant work-related syndrome, described by the combination of emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (D), together with low personal accomplishment (PA). It has many negative consequences on personal, organizational, and patient care levels. This systematic review aimed to analyze research articles where psychological interventions with elements of mindfulness (PIMs) were used to support physicians in order to reduce burnout and foster empathy and well-being.
Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in May 2019, within six electronic databases PubMed, EBSCOhost MEDLINE, PsycArticles, Cochrane Library, JSTOR, and Slovenian national library information system. Different combinations of boolean operators were used-mindfulness, empathy, medicine/family medicine/general practice/primary care, burnout, doctors/physicians, intervention, and support group. Additional articles were manually searched from the reference list of the included articles. Studies with other healthcare professionals (not physicians and residents) and/or medical students, and those where PIMs were applied for educational or patient's treatment purposes were excluded.
Results: Of 1194 studies identified, 786 screened and 139 assessed for eligibility, there were 18 studies included in this review. Regardless of a specific type of PIMs applied, results, in general, demonstrate a positive impact on empathy, well-being, and reduction in burnout in participating physicians. Compared with other recent systematic reviews, this is unique due to a broader selection of psychological interventions and emphasis on a sustained effect measurement.
Conclusions: Given the pandemic of COVID-19, it is of utmost importance that this review includes also interventions based on modern information technologies (mobile apps) and can be used as an awareness-raising material for physicians providing information about feasible and easily accessible interventions for effective burnout prevention and/or reduction. Future research should upgrade self-reported data with objective psychological measures and address the question of which intervention offers more benefits to physicians.

4. Mapping users' experience of a family history and genetic risk algorithm tool in primary careŠpela Miroševič, Kaja Krajc, Zalika Klemenc-Ketiš, Polona Selič-Zupančič, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Introduction: The development of a family history (FH) questionnaire (FHQ) provides an insight into a patient's familiarity of a trait and helps to identify individuals at increased risk of disease. A critical aspect of developing a new tool is exploring users' experience.
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine users' experience, obstacles and challenges, and their views and concerns in the applicability of a new tool for determining genetic risk in Slovenia's primary care.
Methods: We used a qualitative approach. The participants completed a risk assessment software questionnaire that calculates users' likelihood of developing familial diseases. Audio-taped semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted to evaluate their experience. There were 21 participants, and analyses using the constant comparative method were employed.
Results: We identified 3 main themes: obstacles/key issues, suggestions for improvements, and coping. The participants were poorly satisfied with the clarity of instructions, technical usability problems, and issues with the entry of relatives' data. They expressed satisfaction with some of the characteristics of the FHQ (e.g., straightforward and friendly format, easy entry, and comprehension). They suggested simpler language, that the disease risk should be targeted toward the disease, that the FHQ should include patient-specific recommendations, and that it should be part of the electronic medical records. When discussing what would they do with the results of the FHQ, the participants used different coping strategies: active (e.g., seeking information) or passive (e.g., avoidance).
Discussion/conclusion: User experience was shown to be a synthesis of obstacles, overcoming them with suggestions for improvements, and exploration of various coping mechanisms that may emerge from dealing with the stressor of "being at risk."

5. Psychometric properties of the Slovenian version of the Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs (CaSUN-SL) measure in post-treatment cancer survivorsŠpela Miroševič, Polona Selič-Zupančič, Judith B. Prins, Vesna Homar, Zalika Klemenc-Ketiš, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Background: As the number of cancer survivors is growing, valid instruments for assessing cancer survivors' needs are required. Thus, the aim of this study was to translate and validate the Cancer Survivors Unmet Needs (CaSUN) scale.
Methods: Cancer survivors were recruited from 30 family medicine practices and separated into two samples (sample 1, n = 147; sample 2, n = 148). Factor structure was explored with an exploratory analysis in sample 1 and determined with a confirmatory analysis in sample 2. Psychometric properties were assessed with internal consistency, test-retest reliability and construct validity.
Results: A translation and cultural adaptation of the CaSUN scale resulted in 34 items being included in the final version. The factor structure confirmed the five-factors solution of the CaSUN-SL. Cronbach's alpha was 0.94 for the CaSUN-SL and ranged from 0.71-0.88 for specific domains. Test-retest reliability showed moderate-high stability over time. The CaSUN-SL significantly and positively correlated with anxiety (r = 0.49), depression (r = 0.44), health-related quality of life (r = 0.36), and negatively with self-perceived health (r = - 0.36) and resilience (r = - 0.47), which confirms the construct validity. In addition, we found a significant correlation between unmet needs and age (r = - 0.29), gender (r = 0.14), cancer stage (r = 0.20), cancer type (r = 0.19), and time since treatment (r = - 0.20).
Conclusions: Results indicate that CaSUN-SL is a valid and reliable measure to assess the Slovenian cancer survivors' unmet, met and total needs and can be used for further prospective studies.

6. Factors associated with a high level of unmet needs and their prevalence in the breast cancer survivors 1–5 years after post local treatment and (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy during the COVID-19 : a cross-sectional studyŠpela Miroševič, Judith B. Prins, Simona Borštnar, Nikola Bešić, Vesna Homar, Polona Selič-Zupančič, Andreja Cirila Škufca Smrdel, Zalika Klemenc-Ketiš, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Objective: To assess the prevalence of unmet needs in post-treatment breast cancer survivors and identify sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial variables associated with reported unmet needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 430 post-treatment breast cancer survivors, ranging between 1 and 5 years after the procedure, completed the Cancer Survivors’ Unmet Needs (CaSUN) questionnaire from September 2021 and January 2022. The multivariate logistic analysis identified factors associated with at least one reported unmet need in the total CaSUN scale and specific domains.
Results: A total of 67% of survivors reported at least one unmet need. The most frequently reported unmet needs were the lack of accessible hospital parking (43%) and recurrence concerns (39.5%). The majority of reported unmet needs relate to comprehensive care (44%), followed by the psychological and emotional support domain (35.3%). Younger age (OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.92–0.99; p < 0.001), three or more comorbidities (OR = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.11–0.71, p < 0.01), a lower quality of life (OR = 0.06, 95% CI = 0.01–0.47, p < 0.01) and low resilience (OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.93–0.99) were associated with a high level of unmet needs in the multivariate regression model. Results are presented for factors associated with a high level of unmet needs for comprehensive cancer care and psychological and emotional support domain.
Conclusion: A high prevalence found in our study could be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, where patients may have missed adequate follow-up care, although comparing to studies done in non-pandemic time is difficult. Family physicians should be more attentive toward younger cancer survivors and those with more comorbidities as both characteristics can be easily recognized in the family practice.

7. Razumevanje frazemov iz vsakdanjega življenja pri starejših predšolskih otrocih : diplomsko deloTinkara Toplak, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Diplomska naloga z naslovom Razumevanje frazemov iz vsakdanjega življenja pri starejših predšolskih otrocih vsebuje teoretični, empirični in praktični del. V teoretičnem delu naloge smo predstavili govorni razvoj in frazeologijo. Podrobneje smo predstavili tudi frazeme, njihovo rabo in razumevanje. Prav tako smo se dotaknili tudi delitve frazemov. Naš namen empiričnega dela naloge je bil ugotoviti, kako starejši predšolski otroci, stari od 5 do 6 let, razumejo frazeme iz vsakdanjega življenja. Podatke za analizo smo pridobili preko začetnega in končnega preverjanja. Izbrali smo si štiri različne odlomke, ki vsebujejo frazeme. Preko le-teh smo preverjali, kako starejši predšolski otroci razumejo frazeme in ali obstaja razlika v številu frazemov ter načinu razumevanja le-teh. V praktičnem delu pa smo predstavili štirinajst različnih dejavnosti, ki smo jih izvajali med začetnim in končnim preverjanjem z eno izmed skupin.

8. Portretno slikarstvo Ferdinanda Maliča (1820–1900) : magistrsko deloBarbara Lešnik, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: V magistrskem delu je obravnavano portretno slikarstvo Ferdinanda Maliča (1820–1900). Poleg predstavitve in analize izbranih umetnin v katalogu, so le-te preučevane tudi v kontekstu slogovnega umetnikovega razvoja ter upoštevanja umetnostnega ozračja 19. stoletja v slikarjevi ožji in širši okolici. Maliču se pisci v slovenskem prostoru nikoli niso posebej posvečali, tako da je predloženo delo prvi poskus podrobnejše razčlenitve dela opusa tega štajerskega umetnika. Na podlagi analize in interpretacije izbranih portretnih del smo ugotovili, da umetnikov slogovni razvoj lahko v grobem razdelimo na dva dela, in sicer na zgodnje obdobje z izrazitejšim naslonom na bidermajersko tradicijo ter dobo po preselitvi na Vukovski dvor, kjer je realizem, s katerim se je seznanil tekom bivanja v Franciji, zares prišel v ospredje. Vseskozi pa je moč opaziti slikarjevo tehnično dovršeno risbo, igro svetlobe in sence ter osredotočenost na obrazno fiziognomijo. Maličeva umetnost je še tolikanj bolj zanimiva, če vzamemo v poštev njegovo življenjsko pot; od ambicioznega študenta, kateremu se je obetala uspešna kariera, do umika na podeželje, kjer je, izoliran od najnovejših umetnostnih trendov, ustvarjal okarakterizirane portrete ljudi iz kmečkega okolja, pa tudi intimne in velikokrat tudi žanrsko obarvane upodobitve svoje družine, katerih čustven naboj izraža potrebo po slikarjevem izražanju lastnih čustev skozi umetnost. Z analizo Maličevih portretnih del smo želeli tudi opozoriti na kvaliteto tega slikarja, pri čemer upamo, da bo to morda spodbudilo raziskave umetnosti 19. stoletja na območju slovenske Štajerske.

10. Učinkovitost zdravljenja sindroma policističnih jajčnikov z metforminomKatja Jerenec, Maša Samojlenko, Ksenija Geršak, Polonca Ferk, 2013, review article Abstract: Metformin is an oral antidiabetic drug with potentially beneficial effects in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Different pharmacological responses to metformin have been reported in PCOS patients, which may be attribut able to various clinical, biochemical, genetic and other factors. Here, we have outlined a short review of the results from current clinical studies on metformin efficacy in PCOS patients. Additionally, preliminary results from a retrospective pharmacogenetic study by our group on a sample of Slovene PCOS patients are presented. Pharmacogenetics is an emerging science that should provide options for individualized medicine, the future of healthcare.
