1. ReSurveyEurope : a database of resurveyed vegetation plots in EuropeIlona Knollová, Milan Chytrý, Helge Bruelheide, Stefan Dullinger, Ute Jandt, Markus Bernhardt-Römermann, Idoia Biurrun, Francesco de Bello, Michael Glaser, Stephan M. Hennekens, Mateja Germ, Aleksandra Golob, Janez Kermavnar, Lado Kutnar, Urban Šilc, 2024, review article Abstract: Aims We introduce ReSurveyEurope — a new data source of resurveyed vegetation plots in Europe, compiled by a collaborative network of vegetation scientists. We describe the scope of this initiative, provide an overview of currently available data, governance, data contribution rules, and accessibility. In addition, we outline further steps, including potential research questions. Results ReSurveyEurope includes resurveyed vegetation plots from all habitats. Version 1.0 of ReSurveyEurope contains 283,135 observations (i.e., individual surveys of each plot) from 79,190 plots sampled in 449 independent resurvey projects. Of these, 62,139 (78%) are permanent plots, that is, marked in situ, or located with GPS, which allow for high spatial accuracy in resurvey. The remaining 17,051 (22%) plots are from studies in which plots from the initial survey could not be exactly relocated. Four data sets, which together account for 28,470 (36%) plots, provide only presence/absence information on plant species, while the remaining 50,720 (64%) plots contain abundance information (e.g., percentage cover or cover–abundance classes such as variants of the Braun-Blanquet scale). The oldest plots were sampled in 1911 in the Swiss Alps, while most plots were sampled between 1950 and 2020. Conclusions ReSurveyEurope is a new resource to address a wide range of research questions on fine-scale changes in European vegetation. The initiative is devoted to an inclusive and transparent governance and data usage approach, based on slightly adapted rules of the well-established European Vegetation Archive (EVA). ReSurveyEurope data are ready for use, and proposals for analyses of the data set can be submitted at any time to the coordinators. Still, further data contributions are highly welcome.

6. Legislation on the protection of experimental animalsDragica Ornik, Milan Pogačnik, 2001, review article Abstract: The aim of this paper is to establish the current situation in the field of legislation on the protection of experimental animals in Slovenia. The protection of experimental animals has been regulated by the provisions of theProtection of Animals Act.1 On the basis of this act, the Instructions on Conditions for the Issuing of Authorisations for Experiments on Animals for Scientific and Research Purposes2 and the Rules on the Ethics Commission for Experiments on Animals 3 have been used. The basic protection of experimental animals is provided for by a system of permits for experiments on animals. Permits for experiments on animals are granted by the administrative authorities responsible for veterinary medicine in cases where experiments areurgently required for medical, veterinary medical, or scientific and research purposes and the results are expected to produce important new knowledge, or when the suffering of animals is ethically acceptable in comparison with what the experiment is expected to achieve; where, in cases ofbasic research, experimental aims cannot be achieved by any other method or procedure, the experiment is performed on the minimum possible number of animals of the lowest neurophysiological sensitivity and a method is used thatcauses the minimum level of suffering, pain or lasting harm. Staff involved in the execution of experiments or in the care and nursing of animals, the premises for the accommodation or rearing and provision of animals, and the installations and devices used must all comply with the set conditions.

7. Upgrading of gamma cameras for developing countriesValentin Fidler, Milan Prepadnik, Yanfen Xie, 2001, original scientific article Abstract: Background. The project of upgrading the analog gamma cameras with PC based systems from International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Ministry of Science and Technology of RS is presented from the initial basic demands to the final developments. Several national research groups (from China, India, Cuba and Slovenia) were involved in the IAEA development project for the acquisition card with software and the standard set of clinical protocols. Conclusions. The most functionally stable acquisition system tested on severalinternational workshops and in university clinics was the Slovenian onewith a complete set of nuclear medicine clinical protocols, documenting, networking and archiving solutions for simple MS Network or server oriented network systems (NT server, etc). More than 300 gamma cameras in 52 countries all over the world were digitized and put in routine clinical work.

8. Ultrasound-guided aspiration biopsy of subclinical regional metastases of head and neck carcinomaAlenka Višnar-Perovič, Aleksandar Aničin, Živa Zupančič, Bojana Černelč, Alojz Šmid, Dubravka Vidmar, Milan Gorenc, 2000, original scientific article Abstract: Background. Studies concerned with the estimation of ultrasound (US) combined with ultrasound-guided aspiration biopsy (USGAB) in the detection of subclinical regional metastases from the planocellular carcinoma of head and neck are promising, but in few cases. Recently, the authors have pointed out the role of lymph node size parameters in order to decide about the use of USGAB. The aim of this study was to test the reliability of US-USGAB for the detection of subclinical regional metastases in patients with planocellular head and neck carcinomas, including the evaluation of lymph node size parameters. Patients and methods. 121 neck sides with no palpable metastases were examined by US in 77 patients with planocellular carcinomas of head and neck. Depending on the results obtained, USGAB was performed on 64 neck sides.After surgery, the results of US-USGAB were compared with histological findings of the dissected lymph nodes. Results. The study showed 77% overall sensitivity of US and USGAB, and 100% specificity, while the versal / longiyudinal diameter was the best predictor of metastatic lymph node involvement. Conclusion. The results of this study established that USGAB is an appropriate method for detection the subclinical regional metastases on neck, and should be included into routine diagnostic work up in the evaluationof the extent of head and necks carcinomas.
