Our study, The Status of Women in Science in Slovenia, seeks to establish a baseline of data pertaining to the numbers, salaries, positions and environments for women scientists in Slovenia. The survey was modeled on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Coache (Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education) surveys. It was tested for clarity with a group of 8 young scientists and the resultant study was sent to more than 11,000 registered scientists from around Slovenia using their email addresses. Overall, a greater percentage of women than men reported dissatisfaction with resources, space, and salary. The data here indicate women earn on average 78% of what their male counterparts earn. Women report roughly 10% smaller offices and nearly 47% smaller labs than their male counterparts. Women reported a lack of fairness in evaluations, limited access to awards, advancement, and recognition and leadership positions. Averages that were consistent with the MIT study 15 years ago but are no longer the recorded averages in the US. This is simply today's status of women in science in Slovenia.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1537115332The concept of complexity has intrigued people from the beginning of history, but only in our times have attempts to quantify it begun to appear with a new science emerging – the science of complexity. Manifestation of complexity can be found everywhere in nature and life, and different levels of complexity are encountered in arts, humanities, and sciences. Like many concepts in chemistry, the concept of complexity appears to be a fuzzy but useful concept. The fuzziness of this concept has not prevented chemists from attempting to quantify it. Here we are concerned with topological complexity of molecules. It should be stated at the outset that there are different levels of complexity regarding the structure of molecules, i.e., elemental or compositional or 1-dimensional complexity (which is determined by the partition of a graph’s vertices into classes of different types), topological or 2-dimensional complexity, and dynamical or 3-dimensional complexity (a complexity feature of fluctuating molecules).
