1. Adolescents` mental well-being and social support : mixed methods studyLeona Cilar Budler, Gregor Štiglic, Owen Barr, Majda Pajnkihar, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Adolescents are vulnerable to developing mental health problems and mental health disorders if untreated. Various factors can influence their mental well-being, including personal, interpersonal, community and environmental factors. Interpersonal relations with family and friends may have an influence on the vulnerability of adolescents to developing mental health problems. The aim of this paper is to determine adolescents' mental well-being and the correlation between adolescents' mental well-being and the support of family, friends, teachers, and registered nurses. We performed a mixed-methods study. The survey method was used to collect the data among adolescents, and semi-structured interviews were conducted among adolescents, parents, teachers, decision makers, and registered nurses. A total of 2972 adolescents participated in the quantitative part of the study. The mental well-being of adolescents is positively correlated (r = 0.624) with their social support, while their mental well-being (r = −0.286) and social support (r = −0.239) decline with age. Furthermore, the perceived level of support from registered nurses did not differ significantly by age (r(2965) = −0.004, p = 0.863) or gender (W = 310 616, p = 0.903). Qualitative findings further emphasised that adolescents perceive registered nurses as important sources of advice, guidance, and emotional support, underscoring the nursing contribution to adolescent mental health promotion. The mental well-being of adolescents is related to their interactions and interpersonal relations with parents, friends, and teachers. In ensuring the mental well-being of adolescents, we must consider the multidimensional model of well-being. Adolescents' mental well-being declines with age and is higher among adolescents who receive more social support. Therefore, future interventions and actions should focus on social support and interdisciplinary work.

2. Fusion behavior of pure magnesium during selective laser meltingSnehashis Pal, Matjaž Finšgar, Jernej Vajda, Uroš Maver, Tomaž Brajlih, Nenad Gubeljak, Hanuma Reddy Tiyyagura, Igor Drstvenšek, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study examined the melting behavior and flowability of pure magnesium during selective laser melting. The potential to increase product density was also investigated. Various combinations of manufacturing parameters were considered. The laser power was gradually increased in different machine runs, with different scanning speeds for each run to vary the energy density (ED). The laser power ranged from 10 W to 75 W, and the scanning speed ranged from 100 mm/s to 800 mm/s. Lower laser powers resulted in poor melting, while higher laser powers produced better melting, with significant differences even when the ED was the same. High EDs between 3.50 J/mm² and 4.30 J/mm² led to a lack of melting at low laser power and to an unstable melt pool with significant spattering at high laser power. In contrast, moderate EDs in the range of 1.40 J/mm² to 2.90 J/mm² resulted in better density at high laser power. Higher scanning speeds helped to avoid the formation of a dense smog cloud and provided sufficient energy in a short time with the aid of higher laser power. Therefore, increasing both laser power and scanning speed improved melting performance and increased product density. The relative product density ranged from 80 % to 96.5 %. Reducing the layer thickness from 50 µm to 25 µm at a laser power of 40 W resulted in the formation of a well-formed melt pool in some areas and significant melt spattering in others, which led to a deterioration in density.

4. Multicriteria risk evaluation model : utilizing fuzzy logic for improved transparency and quality of risk evaluation in healthcareRok Drnovšek, Marija Milavec Kapun, Simona Šteblaj, Uroš Rajkovič, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Introduction: Risk management is essential for quality assurance in modern healthcare organizations. Risk matrices are widely used
to evaluate risks in healthcare settings; however, this approach has noteworthy weaknesses and limitations. This paper introduces
a novel risk evaluation model that utilizes multicriteria decision-making and fuzzy logic, to enhance the transparency and quality of the
risk evaluation process in healthcare.
Methods: The Multicriteria Evaluation Model was developed using the Decision Expert method and expert knowledge integration.
Fuzzy logic was integrated within the model, using partial degrees of membership and probabilistic analysis, to address uncertainties
inherent to healthcare risk evaluation. The evaluation model was tested with healthcare professionals active in the field of risk
management in clinical practice and compared with the risk matrix.
Results: The designed evaluation model utilizes multicriteria decision-making while encompassing the risk matrix framework to
boost user understanding and enable meaningful comparison of results. Compared with the risk matrix, the model provided similar or
marginally higher risk-level evaluations. The use of degrees of membership enables evaluators to articulate a wide range of plausible
risk consequences, which are often overlooked or ambiguously addressed in the traditional risk matrix approach.
Discussion and Conclusions: The evaluation model demonstrates increased transparency of the decision-making process and
facilitates in-depth analysis of the evaluation results. The utilization of degrees of membership revealed distinct strategies for handling
uncertainty among participants, highlighting the weaknesses of using single value evaluation approach for the presented and similar
decision problems. The presented approach is not limited to healthcare-related risk evaluation, but has the capacity to improve risk
evaluation practices in diverse settings

5. Acceptance and feasibility of virtual reality for teaching adult basic life support in older populationsAna Belen Ocampo Cervantes, Carmen Amalia Lopez Lopez, Robert Greif, Federico Semeraro, Manuel Pardo Rios, Nino Fijačko, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Abstract Background Virtual reality (VR) is emerging in adult Basic Life Support (BLS) training, but its acceptance among older adults has not been fully studied. This study aimed to develop expert-informed BLS content for both VR and laptop formats, and to evaluate the feasibility, usability, knowledge acquisition, satisfaction, and cybersickness of these platforms among older adult learners. Methods A two-phase mixed-methods study was conducted. Five experts co-developed and validated a VR/laptop-compatible adult BLS scenario based on the 2021 European Resuscitation Council guidelines. This scenario was then tested by older adults who voluntarily participated in either VR- or laptop-based training at a public technology event in Spain. Post-training, we measured knowledge acquisition, usability, satisfaction, user experience, and cybersickness. Comparative statistics and regression analyses were performed to evaluate learning outcomes and predictors. Results Five experts developed a consensus-based adult BLS decision tree with 10 scenes and six questions. A total of 583 adults (mean age 72.3 ± 4.8 years) took part in the BLS training evaluation. Those in the VR group (n = 415) outperformed those in the laptop group (n = 168) in key steps, including initiating CPR (58 % vs 41 %, p < 0.001) and using an AED (49 % vs 23 %, p < 0.001). VR participants rated usability of VR-training as excellent (73.8 ± 4.2), expressed high satisfaction and realism. Cybersickness was low (13.1 %). VR training predicted higher knowledge scores (β = 5.8, p < 0.001), and increased scores by 5.8 points over laptop training. VR participants were 2.3 times more likely to answer BLS questions correctly (OR = 2.3, 95 % CI: 1.6–3.2, p < 0.001) Conclusion VR could improve adult BLS knowledge in older adults, with high levels of acceptance and positive user experience. Future work should enhance accessibility and reduce discomfort.

10. Support structures and intergenerational support during and after the COVID-19 pandemicDunja Potočnik, Andrej Naterer, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter examines the role of formal and informal support structures in shaping the well-being and resilience of youth in Croatia and Slovenia. In both countries, families remain the most important support system, particularly mothers, who are consistently identified as central figures in providing emotional and practical assistance. While peers also play a crucial role, the pandemic disrupted these relationships and reduced opportunities for in-person interaction. Institutional support, such as educational and employment services, remains important but often perceived as inaccessible or poorly adapted to the actual needs of youth. At the same time, a low level of trust in political institutions and the welfare system was observed, particularly in Croatia, which reinforces reliance on familial networks. Digital platforms increasingly serve as alternatives for connection and advice, although they cannot replace interpersonal support. Policy implications stress the need to expand accessible, youth-centred services, including mental health care, career guidance, and community-based initiatives. Strengthening institutional trust and investing in participatory frameworks would help diversify support beyond families and foster more resilient pathways for young people's social integration and life transitions.
