Agriculture is one of the most important factors in reducing biodiversity in the EU. However, the integration of nature conservation into the Common Agricultural Policy remains inadequate. The purpose of the doctoral dissertation is to study the planning, effects and evaluation of the Slovenian agricultural policy in the field of nature conservation. An analysis using BRT models showed a negative link between the diversity of farmland birds and direct payments, while environmental measures had a weak relative influence on bird diversity in the period 2008–2019. Bird diversity was highest in open landscapes on Natura 2000 sites that had a high diversity of agricultural plants and low stocking density. A programme theory analysis of the Slovenian agricultural policy showed numerous gaps in the definition of the intervention logic. Particularly lacking is a definition of objectives and indicators that would enable an assessment of the effectiveness of interventions. At the strategic level, the integration of nature conservation is limited mainly to voluntary measures. Strategies for preventing conflicts between nature conservation and other objectives of agricultural policy are mostly not defined. We estimated that in the 2014–2020 programming period, approximately 5 % (17.8–19.4 million EUR) of the annual budget of the Slovenian agricultural policy was allocated to nature conservation. The dissertation is concluded with an analysis of the possibilities for improving the result-orientation of agri-environmental measures, which was conducted with a discrete choice experiment (521 farmers in the Haloze and Karst area) and a qualitative thematic analysis of interviews with farmers, researchers, decision-makers and agricultural advisers. The farmers showed statistically significant higher preferences for result-based schemes than for schemes with prescribed practices and a preference for an individual approach to knowledge transfer. In order to successfully implement result-based schemes, it is necessary to improve data bases, research into sustainable production models and the training of staff in supervisory and advisory services. Kmetijstvo sodi med najpomembnejše dejavnike zmanjševanja biotske pestrosti v EU, vendar integracija varstva narave v Skupno kmetijsko politiko ostaja nezadostna. Namen doktorske disertacije je proučiti načrtovanje, učinke in vrednotenje slovenske kmetijske politike na področju ohranjanja narave. Analiza z modeli BRT je pokazala negativno povezavo med diverziteto ptic kmetijske krajine in neposrednimi plačili, okoljski ukrepi pa so imeli v obdobju 2008–2019 na diverziteto ptic šibek relativni vpliv. Diverziteta ptic je bila najvišja v odprti krajini na območjih Natura 2000 z visoko pestrostjo kmetijskih rastlin in nizko obtežbo z živino. Programsko-teoretična analiza slovenske kmetijske politike je pokazala številne vrzeli v opredelitvi intervencijske logike. Manjka predvsem opredelitev ciljev in kazalnikov, ki bi omogočali presojo uspešnosti ukrepanja. Integracija varstva narave je na strateškem nivoju omejena predvsem na prostovoljne ukrepe, strategije za preprečevanje konfliktov med naravovarstvenimi in drugimi cilji kmetijske politike pa večinoma niso opredeljene. Ocenili smo, da je bilo v programskem obdobju 2014–2020 varstvu narave namenjenih okrog 5 % (17,8–19,4 mio EUR) letnega proračuna slovenske kmetijske politike. Disertacijo zaokrožuje analiza možnosti za izboljšanje rezultatske naravnanosti kmetijsko-okoljskih ukrepov, ki je potekala s poskusom diskretne izbire (521 kmetov na območju Haloz in Krasa) ter kvalitativno tematsko analizo intervjujev s kmeti, raziskovalci, odločevalci in kmetijskimi svetovalci. Kmetje so izkazali statistično značilno večje preference do rezultatskih shem kot do shem s predpisanimi praksami ter naklonjenost do individualnega pristopa k svetovanju. Za uspešno uveljavitev rezultatskih shem je nujno izboljšanje podatkovnih podlag, raziskav trajnostnih proizvodnih modelov ter usposobljenosti kadrov v nadzornih in svetovalnih službah.

Na trgu so vse večje potrebe po vgradnji hidravličnih vitlov na delovne stroje. V diplomskem delu smo oblikovali tri koncepte rešitev hidravličnega pogona vitla: pogon z radialnim batnim hidravličnim motorjem, pogon z orbitalnim hidravličnim motorjem v kombinaciji z vležajenim zobniškim vencem in aksialnim batnim motorjem v kombinaciji s planetnim reduktorjem. Za vsak koncept smo na trgu poiskali konkurenčne ponudnike, jih primerjali med seboj ter izbrali najbolj ustrezne. Z izbranimi komponentami smo za vsak koncept izdelali 3D model. Koncepte smo med seboj primerjali in izbrali najboljšega, ki smo ga v nadaljnje detajlno dimenzionirali. Izbrani koncept je zadostil projektnim zahtevam. There is a growing demand in the market to install hydraulic winches on working machines. In the thesis we have designed three concepts for hydraulic winch drive solutions: radial piston hydraulic motor drive, orbital hydraulic motor drive combined with slewing ring gear and axial piston motor combined with planetary gear. For each concept, we searched for competing suppliers in the market, compared them and selected the most suitable one. With the components selected, we created a 3D model for each concept. We compared the concepts and selected the best one, which we then sized in detail. The selected concept met the project requirements.

Stone fruit species are affected by severe disease caused by European stone fruit yellows phytoplasma (ESFY; ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’). ESFY phytoplasma is transmitted to the host plants of Prunus spp. by the vector Cacopsylla pruni. The disease is graft-transmissible as well. The occurence of ESFY phytoplasma was monitored from 2004 to 2006 in a mother plant orchard of stone fruit species planted with virus free material in 2001 in the Primorska region of Slovenia. The total of 158 samples of mother plants were analysed in this period. The symptomatic and asymptomatic trees were analysed using molecular methods (PCR or nested-PCR). Among 15.7 % of sampled apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca) in the orchard, ESFY phytoplasma was detected in 70.0 % of samples. In the case of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) samples were taken from one third of all Japanese plum trees and the presence of ESFY phytoplasma was confi rmed in all samples. In the European plum trees (Prunus domestica) the incidence of phytoplasma was determined in 51.0 % of sampled trees, where the plants in most cases did not show symptoms. ESFY phytoplasma was also detected in peaches and nectarines (Prunus persica) in 13.0 % of sampled trees while no detection of the phytoplasma was confi rmed in the samples of cherry trees (Prunus avium). With the survey performed in a mother plant orchard it was observed that especially young trees did not show typical symptoms and the infection was latent. In the year 2005, ESFY phytoplasma was detected in all tested samples of the vector Cacopsylla pruni captured in the vicinity of the mother plant orchard. European stone fruit yellows fi toplazma (ESFY; ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’) povzroča pri koščičastih sadnih vrstah nevarno bolezen leptonekrozo koščičarjev. ESFY fi toplazma se na gostiteljske rastline iz roda Prunus prenaša z vektorjem češpljevo bolšico (Cacopsylla pruni), kakor tudi z vegetativnim razmnoževanjem. V nasadu koščičastih sadnih vrst, posajenem leta 2001 z brezvirusnim matičnim materialom, je bilo v letih 2004 – 2006 spremljano stanje glede okuženosti z ESFY fi toplazmo ter skupno odvzetih 158 vzorcev. Pri vseh sadnih vrstah so bila vzorčena tako simptomatična, kot asimptomatična drevesa. Od 15.7 % vzorčenih dreves marelic (Prunus armeniaca) v nasadu, je bila prisotnost fi toplazem potrjena pri 70.0 % vzorčenih drevesih. Pri slivah kitajsko- japonskega izvora (Prunus salicina) je bilo vzorčenje opravljeno pri tretjini matičnih rastlin, prisotnost ESFY fi toplazme je bila dokazana pri vseh vzorčenih rastlinah. Pri evropski slivi (Prunus domestica) je bila okuženost s fi toplazmami potrjena pri 51.0 % vzorčenih rastlin, pri čemer rastline večinoma niso kazale vidnih bolezenskih znamenj. Prisotnost ESFY fi toplazme je bila potrjena tudi pri 13.0 % vzorčenih drevesih breskve (Prunus persica). Pri češnji (Prunus avium) prisotnost fi toplazme ESFY ni bila potrjena. ESFY fi toplazma je bila v letu 2005 z laboratorijskim testiranjem potrjena tudi v vseh analiziranih vzorcih prenašalca Cacopsylla pruni.

The technology is the key enabler of the development. It stimulates different areas of organizations and changes the established business in terms of digital. The ecosystem of organizations intertwines with the basic cell of society through various layers of individuals, society, national and global layers. It provides a basis for survival and sustainability. The life of employees, organizations and the society in general is changing positively due to cultural, social and economic changes, influenced with digital technology. Integrating organizations into ecosystems is the way to complex connections that create opportunities for long-term integration and the power of organizations. Organizational sciences introduce new principles for sustainable development and connection of human and technology by focusing on innovative actions supporting diverse organizations and establishing ecosystems as business models. The 38th International Conference on Organizational Science Development in 2019 brings a new impetus to the perception of an individual as an essential member of organizations as well as the technology that promotes the development of various aspects of digital transformation. Digital-supported employees, digitally-enabled work and digital technology support create new trends in organizations, while returning to the essence of their operation – the ecosystem as a paradigm of networking and linking individuals and organizations. Tehnologija razvija in spodbuja različna področja delovanja organizacij ter spreminja ustaljene okvire poslovnega sveta v smislu digitalnega. Ekosistem organizacij se skozi različne plasti delovanja posameznika, družbe, nacionalnih in globalnih okvirov prepleta z osnovno celico družbe. Zagotavlja osnovo za preživetje in trajnost. Zaradi kulturnih, družbenih in ekonomskih sprememb, ki so med drugim tudi pod vplivom digitalnih tehnologij, je svet prešel v pozitivne spremembe življenja zaposlenih, organizacij in družbe nasploh. Povezovanje organizacij v ekosisteme pomeni pot do kompleksnih in neizogibnih povezav, ki ustvarjajo možnosti za dolgoročno povezovanje in moč organizacij. Z usmerjenostjo v inoviranje delovanja s podporo različnih organizacij in ustvarjanjem ekosistemov kot poslovnih modelov, organizacijske vede vnašajo nove principe delovanja v smeri trajnostnega razvoja in neposredne povezljivosti tehnologije s človekom. 38. mednarodna konferenca o razvoju organizacijskih znanosti v letu 2019 prinaša nov zagon na področju tako dojemanja posameznika kot bistvenega člena organizacij kot tehnologije, ki spodbuja razvoj različnih vidikov povezanih z digitalnimi spremembami. Digitalno podprti zaposleni, digitalno podprto delo in digitalna podpora tehnologije ustvarja nove trende organizacij, ki pa se vedno znova vračajo v bit svojega delovanja – ekosistem kot paradigmo mreženja in povezovanja posameznikov in organizacij.

This master's thesis examines and presents the historical development of the incorporation of technology, first in the social and then in the educational space, and the resulting changes in educational practice. It presents the topic in three parts. The first presents sociological theoretical perspectives on the relationship between man and his technological environment and goes on to present contemporary technological changes dictated by the new media. Finally, it touches on two important social problems, also linked to the educational sphere, namely the diminishing supremacy of writing and the externalisation of memory. In the second part, the thesis moves on to more concrete examples of technological change in educational contex and presents the historical development of modern educational technology in Slovenia from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. In the third part, we focus on an overview of the orientations of key policy documents at the European Union and national level, which represent support for the adaptation of education and training systems to what they call the "digital age". In the concluding section of the text, we reflect the documents' intentions from a broader pedagogical perspective. Magistrska naloga proučuje in predstavlja zgodovinski razvoj vpenjanja tehnologije najprej v družbeni, nato pa še v šolski prostor in s tem spreminjanje vzgojno-izobraževalne prakse. S temo nas seznani v treh delih. V prvem delu predstavi sociološke teoretske premisleke o odnosu med človekom in njegovim tehnološkim okoljem in nadaljuje s predstavitvijo sodobnih tehnoloških sprememb, ki jih narekujejo novi mediji. Nazadnje se dotakne dveh pomembnih družbenih problemov, povezanih tudi z vzgojno-izobraževalnim področjem, tj. omajanje primata pisave in eksternalizacija spomina. V drugem delu naloga preide na konkretnejše primere tehnološkega spreminjanja vzgojno-izobraževalnih procesov in v slovenskem prostoru predstavi zgodovinski razvoj sodobne izobraževalne tehnologije od začetka 20. stoletja do danes. V tretjem delu se osredotočamo na pregled usmeritev ključnih političnih dokumentov na ravni Evropske unije ter na nacionalni ravni, ki predstavljajo podporo prilagajanju sistemov vzgoje in izobraževanja temu, kar imenujejo »digitalna doba«. Predstavljene intence dokumentov v sklepnem poglavju besedila prevprašujemo s širšega pedagoškega vidika.

Cilj diplomskega dela je izdelava mrežnega merilnika temperature in vlage, ki nam ponuja vpogled v omenjeni veličini na neki oddaljeni lokaciji. Želeli smo, da je prikaz mogoč z različnimi napravami, zato smo uporabili moderne prosto dostopne odprtokodne programske rešitve, ki ponujajo te storitve. Implementirali smo sistem, ki s preprostimi metodami preko mikrokrmilnika z omogočenim mrežnim dostopom pošilja podatke na spletno stran, kjer so obdelani in prikazani v preteklem in realnem času. V uvodnem poglavju smo se spoznali z različnimi vrstami naprav za nadzor temperature in vlažnosti, ki zbirajo podatke za upravljanje s klimatskimi pogoji v prostorih. Ugotovili smo, da tržišče nudi široko izbiro sistemov, ki so prilagojeni različnim vrstam uporabe. Poleg preprostih sistemov smo omenili tudi tehnološko naprednejše, ki podpirajo mrežno komunikacijo in uporabniku s pomočjo internetnih protokolov omogočajo vpogled in nadzor preko oddaljene lokacije. Na koncu poglavja smo navedli še nekaj pomembnih značilnosti interneta stvari ter različne načine implementacije ethernet podsistemov. V osrednjem poglavju so predstavljene strojne in programske rešitve za realizacijo našega sistema. Opisali smo odprtokodni standard za prenos podatkov JSON ter omejitve in storitve, ki nam jih ponuja arhitekturni stil REST. Dodan je še opis rešitve za prikaz in delovanje sistema na mobilnih napravah. Na koncu sledi še podroben opis poteka implementacije programske opreme. Predstavljeni in razčlenjeni so segmenti programske kode, ki skrbijo za logiko, prenos in prikaz podatkov. Priloženi so sheme in diagrami, ki grafično ponazorijo način delovanja sistema. for this purpose, we used modern, freely accessible, open-source software solutions which provide such services. Using simple methods, we implemented the system that sends data to a website via microcontroller with network access, where such data are processed and displayed in the past- and real-time. In the introductory chapter, we learned about various types of devices to control temperature and humidity, collecting data to manage climate conditions indoors. We found out that a wide range of systems, tailored to different usages, is available on the market. In addition to simple systems, we also mentioned more advanced ones that support network communications, and enable users to observe and control the data via a remote location with internet protocols. At the end of the chapter, we described certain important features of the Internet of things, and various ways to implement Ethernet subsystems. The main chapter deals with hardware and software solutions for the realisation of our system. We described the open-source standard to transfer data JSON, as well as limitations and services provided by the architectural style REST. A description of the solution for the functioning and display of the system on mobile devices is also added. At the end, a detailed description of software implementation is provided. We also presented and analysed source code segments, responsible for logic, transfer and display of data. The diploma includes also schemes and graphs, illustrating how the system works. The subject of this diploma is a network temperature and humidity sensor, enabling us to observe the quantities concerned at a remote location. We aimed at data to be displayed via various devices
