Abstract: This article examines the relationship between constitutional pluralism and authoritarianism. It does so since the Weiss decision of the FCC spurred unusual attacks on constitutional pluralism. This particular theoretical vision of European integration has been described as inherently dangerous and its abandonment has been called for out of chiefly instrumentalist reasons, in order to prevent constitutional pluralism turning into an autocrats’ refuge. The article argues this critique of constitutional pluralism does not succeed. Due to its truncated, exclusively positivist understanding of constitutional pluralism, it has failed to take into account pluralism’s normative core. The latter presents itself an antipode to authoritarianism, which means that the autocratic regimes simply cannot credibly avail themselves of the theory of constitutional pluralism to justify their authoritarian actions.

Abstract: Executive Summary • Despite many achievements since independence across social, political, economic and constitutional domains, which are unobjectionable, equally many constitutional and political objectives still need to be met. • Slovenia is unique with its specific model of state-owned capitalism, monopolized by the postcommunist left, that has resulted in the absence of economic pluralism, which consequently stands in the way of all other forms of social pluralism, including the existence of a vibrant pluralist civil society and professional pluralist media. • The relatively small size of the country and the increasing weakness of the state’s formal institutional infrastructure (especially regarding the judiciary) and the growing passivity of the electorate, have enabled strong factional groups to create a parallel infrastructure of decisionmaking, which uses the formal institutions of the state as an instrument for their on-going economic self-enrichment and further entrenchment of their de facto political power. • The dynamics of politics in Slovenia is thus opposite to that in the currently backsliding CEE countries. Rather than seeking a profound change in the society, the political agenda of the contemporary ‘Slovenian new class’ (i.e. the informal power structure undergirding the postcommunist left) is the preservation of the status quo by all means. Whenever this status quo is at least potentially challenged, bitter political and social conflicts, as at present, erupt. • Under the radar of international attention, the specific Slovenian transition has resulted in an institutionally undernourished rule of law system and democratic governance, marked by an implosion of the political space, incessant populism and growing political radicalization in favour of illiberal democracy. The latter has traditionally existed on the (far-)left, but more recently its support started to build also on the former centre-right, which began to voice public support for the actually backsliding CEE countries. • The course of the development of the Slovenian constitutional democracy three decades after the country’s declaration of independence therefore remains uncertain as never before.

Abstract: This article sheds light on the academic side of dr. Jože Pučnik. While his civic, dissident and political activities in Slovenia have been well known, his academic work and the political philosophy he developed have been largely neglected. This is unfortunate, as already a cursory insight in Pučnik’s monography on Culture, Society and Technology, such as provided in this article, reveals the richness of his political thought. Pučnik as an intellectual, as a political thinker was not only aware of the main currents of western political philosophy after the WWII, but was also entirely on par with then political and legal thinkers. He had integrated their work into his own political philosophy, which he subsequently applied to the case study of Slovenia, a country that he felt most deeply about.

Abstract: Downov sindrom je najpogostejša kromosomska nepravilnost in prav tako najpogostejši vzrok duševne prizadetosti. Potemtakem je področje pomembno za raziskovanje, saj se z osebami z Downovim sindromom v fizioterapiji soočamo tako v centrih za usposabljanje, delo in varstvo, šolah za osebe s posebnimi potrebami kot tudi pri obravnavah v ambulantah javnega zdravstva ali pri zasebnikih. Namen raziskovalnega dela je skozi pregled literature raziskati, ali je hipoterapija kratkoročno učinkovita metoda za izboljšanje motoričnih spretnosti pri otrocih z Downovim sindromom. Literaturo, ki je bila v raziskavi uporabljena, smo zbirali v obdobju med januarjem 2022 in septembrom 2023 v internetnih podatkovnih bazah PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar ter Google spletni brskalnik. Ostalo literaturo smo pridobili v knjižnici s pomočjo spletne strani Cobiss. Za določitev ustreznosti pregledane literature smo uporabili PRIZMA diagram. Za sestavo teoretičnega dela diplomskega dela smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo, v določenem delu tudi metodi komparacije in analize. V empiričnem delu diplomskega dela pa smo uporabili metodo komparacije podatkov, kjer smo primerjali podatke iz devetih raziskav. Ugotovili smo izboljšanje motoričnih spretnosti otrok z Downovim sindromom po vseh preiskovanih parametrih. Hipoterapija se je tako izkazala za učinkovito metodo v fizioterapiji, ki ima učinek na izboljšanje mišične moči, statičnega in dinamičnega ravnotežja, vzdržljivosti, kontrole trupa in glave ter gibljivosti. Hkrati vpliva tudi na zmanjšanje mišičnega tonusa spastičnih mišic. Vpliva pa tudi na izboljšanje vseh parametrov lestvice GMFM-88, ki je največkrat uporabljeno merilno orodje v izbranih raziskavah.

Abstract: Teoretična izhodišča: Parkinsonova bolezen je degenerativna bolezen, ki prizadene predvsem moško populacijo po 65. letu. Zaradi disfunkcije bazalnih ganglijev, katere vzrok je pomanjkanje živčnega prenašalca dopamina, nastanejo motorične in nemotorične motnje, ki posameznika ovirajo v vsakodnevnem funkcioniranju. Težave tekom napredovanja bolezni naraščajo in postanejo neodzivne na farmakološko zdravljenje. Največjo motoričn oviro pri Parkinsonovi bolezni predstavlja disfunkcija hoje. Abnormalnost hoje predstavlja povečano tveganje nastankov padcev, predvsem nastanek epizod zamrznitve hoje. Fizioterapija je za osebe s Parkinsonovo boleznijo ključnega pomena. Poleg fizioterapevtske obravnave pa se danes na marsikaterem področju pojavlja tudi uporaba glasbe, ki predstavlja zanimivo terapevtsko orodje, predvsem v rehabilitaciji nevroloških bolnikov. Namen diplomskega dela je pregledati literaturo in ugotoviti, ali uporaba glasbe v fizioterapevtski obravnavi pozitivno vpliva na izboljšanje parametrov Parkinsonove hoje. Metoda: Pregled strokovne in znanstvene literature je bil opravljen v v domačem in tujem jeziku v podatkovnih bazah Scopus, ResearchGate, Science Direct, PubMed ter PEDro. Pri iskanju in zbiranju podatkov so se uporabile ključne besede in besedne zveze: “Parkinsova bolezen”, “fizioterapija”, “glasbena terapija“, “ritmična slušna stimulacija”, “cikel hoje in “rehabilitacija”. Vključene so bile raziskave, stare do deset let. Rezultati: V podatkovnih bazah smo skupno dobili 278 raziskav. Na podlagi vključitvenih in izključitvenih kriterijev in vsebinskem pregledu je v končno analizo bilo vključenih deset raziskav. Razprava: Po pregledu literature smo ugotovili, da ritmična slušna stimulacija v fizioterapevtski obravnavi vpliva na izboljšanje parametrov Parkinsonove hoje. Vprašanje, ali ritmična slušna stimulacija zmanjša »zamrznitve« med hojo bolnikov s Parkinsonovo boleznijo, je bilo deloma potrjeno.
