The Cognitive Performance Scale (CPS) in the widely used interRAI suite of instruments is of interest to clinicians and policy makers as a potential screening mechanism for detecting dementia. However, there has been little evaluation of the CPS in home care settings. This retrospective diagnostic study included 134 older adults (age ≥ 65) who were discharged from two acute psychogeriatric inpatient units or assessed in two memory clinics. The reference test was a diagnosis of clinical dementia, and the index test was interRAI CPS measured within 90 days of discharge. The overall accuracy of the CPS was good, with an area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve of 0.82 (95% CI = 0.75–0.89). The optimal cut point was 1/2, coinciding with the recommended cut point, with good sensitivity (0.90, 95% CI = 0.81–0.96) but poor specificity (0.60, 95% CI = 0.46–0.72). Positive predictive value improved from 0.72 (95% CI = 0.66–0.78) to 0.89 (95% CI = 0.75–0.96) when using a cut point of 2/3 instead of 1/2. If the results of the present study are replicated with more generalisable interRAI samples, older adults with a CPS of 3 or above, but without a formal diagnosis of dementia, should be referred for further cognitive assessment.

In Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, surface road traffic prevails and there is a strong need to free urban areas and use underground space for public transport. As a result of excessive use of combustion engines, the concentration of particulate matter and CO2 emissions in Ljubljana is high and is of public concern. For this purpose, several studies have been made in which sustainable development of underground transport has been considered as an alternative for rail, inter-rail and city traffic. The city of Ljubljana lies on quite a diverse geological substratum, consisting of alluvial and lacustrine deposits. A complex hydrogeological situation comprising a high water table and perched water supply zones located within the urban environment presents a particular challenge for underground construction. For this reason, a research study concerning the sustainable development of underground traffic in the Ljubljana Basin was carried out. The results of the study presented in the paper highlight the possible technological conditions for the development of underground transport with a particular emphasis on sustainability and environmental impact.
