Abstract: Digitization of existing buildings is one of the main future goals, leading to efficient planning, renovation and maintenance. Among the existing buildings, a significant share is protected as a cultural heritage and their management is supervised because interventions on the protected sites are limited. Building information modeling (BIM) provides the opportunity to integrate accurate as-built information into the digital environment where it can easily be accessed and used. A digital representation of building creation usually starts with the acquisition of spatial data (point cloud), which is then used to create a semantically enriched model with certain geometric accuracy (BIM). In order for the model to serve its purpose, it is important to define how accurate the model should be. Since there are currently insufficient definitions of geometric requirementsfor specific BIM use cases, the research hypothesis was that the quality of BIM greatly depends on the modeler. The identified issue was approached with a study case. Using the point cloud of the existing building, the BIM was made and validated based on pre-defined accuracy requirements. Different accuracy validation methods were used in the process. Based on the results of the study case, conclusions and recommendations for efficient BIM creation were prepared.

Abstract: The basophil activation test (BAT) has become a major cellular in vitro test for evaluating the allergenic activity of specific IgEs. The impact of the BAT is due to the ability of blood basophil granulocytes to present IgE on the high-affinity FcεRI receptor and to mirror the mast cell response that elicits an acute allergic reaction. The BAT proved to be able to identify allergic patients at risk of reacting to a low dose of the allergen and/or developing life-threatening reactions and thus can significantly improve the current management of allergic patients. However, to improve the diagnostic utility for identifying the allergenic activity of different genuinely sensitizing allergens and lower the procedure and labour requirements, developing a multiplex BAT approach incorporating multiple allergen components would be highly anticipated. Recently, the novel multiplex BAT was described utilizing two major innovative steps. The first step was the fluorescent labeling of allergens. The second step was applying fluorescently labeled allergens in flow cytometry assessment to analyze the activation of basophil subpopulations gated according to the binding of different allergens or to evaluate the fluorescence intensity of multiple allergens on the surface of basophils. These novel cellular multiplex approaches will advance our understanding of IgE-mediated responses. Integration of multiplex BAT, in addition to multiplex IgE assays into practice, will personalize the measurement of allergenic IgE activity and can help estimate the likelihood of clinical relevance and risks for multiple allergens when testing individual allergic patients.

Abstract: The general acceptance of smart home-based technologies among older adults is investigated in this systematic literature review, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the methodologies used to measure this acceptance. Given the pivotal role of housing in the wellbeing of older adults, smart home-based technologies have emerged as potential solutions to enhance their independence and safety. Despite the numerous benefits associated with these technologies, their acceptance remains a challenging aspect. The review has demonstrated that the methodology for measuring acceptance among older adults exhibits significant heterogeneity, often depending on prior utilization of a particular technology. Beyond this observation, the review identifies additional trends and serves as a foundational resource for advancing research on the digitization of home environments for older individuals.

Abstract: The article attempts to clarify, on the basis of laws adopted during and after the Second World War, how East Asian items became part of the museum collections held today by the Celje Regional Museum (Pokrajinski muzej Celje, PMC). The first part of the article focuses on confiscations of cultural and historical objects carried out by the Nazis in Lower Styria (Untersteiermark) between 1941 and 1945. The second part of the article covers the period immediately after the end of the Second World War. This was the period that saw the start of the formation of so-called national property, in other words the passage of ownership from private to state hands. As will be shown, a series of laws regulating the new authorities’ attitude towards property were passed in a relatively brief period. In the summer of 1945, the task of collecting cultural and historical objects was taken over by collection centres established for this purpose. One such collection centre was located in Celje. With the help of archival sources, we have attempted to shed light on its operations.
