1. Chambers in Slovenia – so similar and yet so different; a comparison of structures and working methods using the example of the Veterinary Chamber and the Detective Chamber in Republic of SloveniaOžbalt Podpečan, Miha Dvojmoč, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Chambers are associations of legal and natural persons engaged in profitable activity. By definition, they are a community governed by public law that is pursuing a similar activity, founded primarily to protect the interests of its members. In Slovenia, chambers are established to represent persons engaged in various business activities - from companies, sole traders, farmers, foresters, craftsmen, private detectives, veterinarians and similar. The chambers differ slightly from one another, and can essentially be divided into three groups, namely chambers of commerce, professional chambers and mixed-type chambers. The tasks of the chambers, their bodies and their duties, the criteria for membership as well as the termination, financing or acquisition of funds for operation and other important information are specified in their by-laws, the respective law or other legal act. In this article the entire system of chambers of the Republic of Slovenia is presented using the example of three randomly selected chambers that differ in terms of their functioning, the exercise of public powers or financing in general, with the Chamber of Veterinarians and the Detective Chamber being explained in more detail. We have selected these two chambers as we wanted to present one natural science and one social science chamber. In the comparison between the detective and veterinary chambers, we can therefore research and analyse many aspects that reflect the diversity and specificity of each professional field. One of the reasons, why we have chosen these two chambers is also the fact, that we as authors are or were active members of our two chosen chambers. The comparison makes it easier to understand how they work, as well as their similarities and differences. We found that not only the chambers we selected, but most chambers operate very similarly, perform similar tasks and have many of the same organs required for their functioning. This is probably due to the fact that all chambers in Slovenia have developed or started to develop according to the model of the first chamber– the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia.

3. Influence of undergarments on the comfort level of scoliosis brace wearersO. Nagy Szabó, Jelka Geršak, András Koleszár, Marianna Halász, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Bracing has proven to be an effective method for the conventional treatment of scoliosis in young people. A brace, a therapeutic device, covers the upper body and promotes healing by applying pressure to specific areas. However, wearing a scoliosis brace negatively affects the user’s thermo-physiological well-being and often leads to discomfort. In this study, we investigated the influence of T-shirts as an undergarment on the thermo-physiological well-being of the brace wearer. For this purpose, we performed a comparative analysis of six T-shirts made from different special knitted fabrics. We carried out wearing tests in a computer-controlled climate chamber according to a predetermined protocol. The test subject wore the orthopedic brace over the different T-shirts at three different temperatures. The results indicate that the knitted fabrics of undergarments and environmental conditions considerably impact the wearer’s thermo-physiological comfort. In the tests, the T-shirts made from the selected functional fabrics performed very well. The T-shirt made from the classic cotton fabric containing elastane yarn also performed well and was the most environmentally friendly. Currently, due to its lower price and easier availability, this cotton T-shirt can be recommended for wearing under a scoliosis brace.

4. Legal analysis of public authorities of Chamber for the Development of Slovenian Private Security - de lege lata and de lege ferendaIztok Rakar, Bojan Tičar, 2015, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Purpose:
This paper examines the development of delegation of public authorities to the Chamber for the Development of Slovenian Private Security. Based on an evaluation of past and present experiences, the authors set guidelines for future legal regulation and administrative practice.
Design/Methods/Approach:
The research presented here is based on an analysis of legal regulation and theory of public authorities, of the case law of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia, and of the administrative inspection reports on implementation of public authorities of former Chamber of the Republic Slovenia for Private Security.
Findings:
Public authorities are institutes of Slovenian constitutional and administrative law. An analysis of sector-specific laws shows that a variety of administrative tasks is delegated to subjects of public and private law (e.g., public enterprises, chambers and individuals).
In practice, the delegation of public authorities poses several major problems: ex ante, justifications of delegation are very vague and not supported by analyses, while ex post evaluations of delegation are non-existent and supervision of the implementation of public authorities is insufficient. In practice, supervision is mainly the result of malpractice as identified by random checks or the media, and not the result of systematic activity.
The public authorities of professional chambers present a special problem. Public authorities of the former Chamber of the Republic Slovenia for Private Security pertaining to the licensing and professional supervision of members of the chamber have been withdrawn based on findings by administrative inspections.
Research Limitations / Implications:
The research is limited to Slovenia, but the findings are relevant for other “young democracies” in the region and of potential interest to Western European democracies.
Originality/Value:
The analysis addresses key problems in delegating and implementing public authorities, evaluates the results of experiences, and offers possible solutions.

5. Combustion simulation in the secondary chamber of a pilot-scale incineratorNiko Samec, Filip Kokalj, Jyh-Yan Chen, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A numerical analysis of combustion in the secondary chamber (thermoreactor) ofa two-stage pilot scale incinerator using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)is presented in detail. Various versions of the CFD program package CFX were used, which offer different combustion models for specific types and forms of combustion processes. The present study was focused on those physicalconditions that assure complete combustion, that is, temperature, residence time, and turbulent mixing. The selection of an appropriate combustion model was based on a comparison of the numerical results and experimental values of some combustion macro parameters in a thermoreactor. Combustion models based on one-step bimolecular chemical reaction and models based on multistep reactions were used. These models enabled a more detailed prediction of the combustion process in the secondary chamber of a pilot-scaleincinerator. The products of incomplete combustion that are significantly important for the designing and optimization of combustion devices can be predicted by applying multistep reaction models more accurately, especially in a transient regime of combustion.
