Opis: The case of Benedik v. Slovenia is a perfect example of the complexity between the right to privacy and covert investigative measures carried out by law enforcement in the digital age. Thus, this thesis aims to precisely explain the legislation governing the right to privacy under both internal law and the European Convention on Human Rights, with a particular emphasis on covert investigative measures. By exploring and defining the legal frameworks that protect the privacy rights of individuals, we aim to clarify the balance between state surveillance powers and individuals' privacy rights. The study systematically shows the evolution and current state of the legal provisions regarding covert investigative measures in Slovenia. The main focus of this thesis is the legal proceedings in the case of Benedik v. Slovenia. It serves as a prism through which the complexities of privacy protection, specifically, electronic privacy are analyzed in the context of data disclosure and internet usage. The study examines the legal proceedings at all court instances, including Kranj District Court, Ljubljana Higher Court, Supreme Court, and Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia leading to a complaint that the applicant, Benedik, filed at the Strasbourg Court. The later ruling of the European Court of Human Rights addressed the interaction between domestic laws and international human rights norms in detail. An in-depth understanding of how covert investigative measures are integrated with the right to privacy is provided through an analysis of the arguments made, the legal reasoning used by the courts, and the verdicts issued. This thesis's comprehensive explanation offers valuable insights into the balance between state surveillance needs and the protection of individuals' right to privacy, highlighting the complexities of these issues in the modern digital age.

Opis: Vaccine hesitancy and its determinants have been previously widely researched. Vaccine hesitancy has been defined as a continuum of attitudes, ranging from accepting vaccines with doubts to rejecting them. The present study aims to explore the heterogeneity of a childhood-vaccine-hesitant group by using a person-oriented approach-latent profile analysis. A non-representative cross-sectional sample of vaccine-hesitant Slovenians (N = 421, Mage = 35.21, 82.9% women) was used to identify differences based on their reliance on personal research (“self” researching instead of relying on science), overconfidence in knowledge, endorsement of conspiracy theories, complementary and alternative medicine, and trust in the healthcare system. The analysis revealed three profiles of vaccine-hesitant individuals. The most hesitant profile-vaccine rejecting-expressed the greatest reliance on personal research, expressed the highest endorsement of conspiracy theories and complementary and alternative medicine, showed moderate overconfidence in their knowledge, and expressed the highest levels of distrust in the healthcare system. We further found differences in sociodemographic structure and that the identified profiles differed in their attitudes regarding MMR, HPV, and Seasonal Influenza vaccinations. The present study demonstrates the heterogeneity of the vaccine-hesitant community and offers insights into some of the traits, which are crucial for designing pro-vaccine campaigns.

Opis: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure involving the placement of an endograft inside the dissection or an aneurysm to direct blood flow and prevent rupture. A significant challenge in endovascular surgery is the geometrical mismatch between the endograft and the artery, which can lead to endoleak formation, a condition where blood leaks between the endograft and the vessel wall. This study uses computational modeling to investigate the effects of artery curvature and endograft oversizing, the selection of an endograft with a larger diameter than the artery, on endoleak creation. Finite element analysis is employed to simulate the deployment of endografts in arteries with varying curvature and diameter. Numerical simulations are conducted to assess the seal zone and to quantify the potential endoleak volume as a function of curvature and oversizing. A theoretical framework is developed to explain the mechanisms of endoleak formation along with proof-of-concept experiments. Two main mechanisms of endoleak creation are identified: local buckling due to diameter mismatch and global buckling due to centerline curvature mismatch. Local buckling, characterized by excess graft material buckling and wrinkle formation, increases with higher levels of oversizing, leading to a larger potential endoleak volume. Global buckling, where the endograft bends or deforms to conform to the centerline curvature of the artery, is observed to require a certain degree of oversizing to bridge the curvature mismatch. This study highlights the importance of considering both curvature and diameter mismatch in the design and clinical use of endografts. Understanding the mechanisms of endoleak formation can provide valuable insights for optimizing endograft design and surgical planning, leading to improved clinical outcomes in endovascular aortic procedures.
