  • Slovenia is the most model among the Eastern European countries which is achieving economic and political development. Slovenia succeeded to participate in EU in May 2004, and then was firstly a member of Eurozone among the Eastern Europe in January 2007. Although Slovenia is a small state with the population of about 2 million, carried out his duty as chairman of EU very completely since 1. January 2008. And anticipate that personal GDP will be over 28,000 dollars in 2008. Also, as is seen the last process of participation in EU and EMU, Slovenia is now establishing very well stable economic development and political democracy among the Eastern Europe. In this paper, I introduce about present situation of Slovenia after the entrance in EU and Eurozone. Especially, I analysis the process of joining in EU and EMU of Slovenia. and based on this, I study the positive and negative effects of joining in EU and Eurozone.

  • Ocular toxocariasis named also ocular larva migrans is caused by larvae of the roundworm Toxocara spp. The purpose of this study was to find out the seroprevalence of Toxocara antibodies in patients suspected of ocular toxocariasis. Between January 2001 and December 2003, sera from 239 ocular patients, aged 3 to 80 years, were examined by ELISA and confirmed by Western blot test. Out of the 239 patients, 172 (72%) were seronegative and 67 (28%) were Toxocara seropositive; 95% CI (22-34%). The median age of Toxocara seropositive patients was 37.6 years. There was no significant difference in the number of Toxocara positive sera between the younger age group (${\leq}14$ years) and the older age group (>14 years), p>0.05. A high rate of Toxocara seropositivity in ocular patients should alert the ophthalmologists in Slovenia to include toxocariasis in the differential diagnosis of eye diseases more frequently.

  • The Slovenian management have already for a while been intensely trying to catch up the West. We can not generalize this movement yet, though it can be observed in many companies. According to the latest data, already 30% of all employees in Slovenia are participating in the project of quality. More than 400 companies have ISO 900x certified quality systems (in 1999). Our interest as quality consultants, researchers and auditors is the research of the added value given by the ISO 900x certification process to company. This article shows only some result of the research The influence of ISO 9000 certificate on organisation's competitiveness. The research was conducted in 1998 for Slovenian companies.

  • A tool which can be used for the analysis of a robot soccer game is presented. The tool enables automatic filtering and selection of game sequences which are suitable for the analysis of the game. Fuzzy logic is used since the data gathered by a camera is highly noisy. The data used in the paper was recorded during the game Germany - Slovenia in Hagen, on November 11, 2001. The dynamic parameters of our robots are estimated using the least squares technique. Meandering parameters are estimated and an attempt is made to identify the strategy of the opposing team with the method of introspection.

  • Bacteremia induced by wound myiasis is uncommon and therefore rarely suspected by clinicians when treating patients with neglected wounds. We present a case of Ignatzschineria larvae bacteremia as a complication of Lucilia sp. maggot wound myiasis in a young male migrant. This is the first reported human case of Ignatzschineria bacteremia in Slovenia and one of the 2 described in the literature where the fly larvae infesting the wounds of the patient with Ignatzschineria bacteremia were not only suspected to be Lucilia sp. but also entomologically identified.

  • By the end of December 2020, an earthquake with Mw about 6.4 hit Sisak-Moslavina County, Croatia. The town of Petrinja was the most affected region with major power outage and many buildings collapsed. The damage also affected neighbor countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. As a light of this devastating event, a deformation map due to this earthquake could be generated by using remote sensing imagery from Sentinel-1 SAR data. InSAR could be used as deformation map but still affected with noise factor that could problematize the exact deformation value for further research. Thus in this study, 17 SAR data from Sentinel-1 satellite is used in order to generate the multi-temporal interferometry utilize Stanford Method for Persistent Scatterers (StaMPS). Mean deformation map that has been compensated from error factors such as atmospheric, topographic, temporal, and baseline errors are generated. Okada model then applied to the mean deformation result to generate the modeled earthquake, resulting the deformation is mostly dominated by strike-slip with 3 meter deformation as right lateral strike-slip. The Okada sources are having 11.63 km in length, 2.45 km in width, and 5.46 km in depth with the dip angle are about 84.47° and strike angle are about 142.88° from the north direction. The results from this modeling can be used as learning material to understand the seismic activity in the latest 2020 Petrinja, Croatia Earthquake.

  • Taking into account the globalization of the economy and the intensification of European integration processes, it has been proved that an important part of evaluating the effectiveness of activity of public sector enterprises should be a comparative analysis of the overall operation environment, namely public procurement, economic environment and tax policy, with the relevant systems of other countries of the world. The indicators and components of international ratings "Doing Business", "Paying Taxes", "Benchmarking Public Procurement" have been studied. Different groups of indicators forming "Doing Business" and "Paying Taxes" in the context of the impact on public sector enterprises have been identified: those which fully comply with the need to evaluate the operating environment of public sector enterprises and those which should be used with restrictions, regarding the peculiarities of creating and functioning of public sector enterprises. A comparative analysis of the place of Ukraine, Lithuania and Slovenia among other countries of the world in accordance with the international rankings of "Doing Business", "Paying Taxes", "Benchmarking Public Procurement" have been made. It has been substantiated that the results of such comparative analysis will allow identifying risk areas, and relevant information can be used in developing of recommendations for improving the effectiveness of activity of public sector enterprises.
