Students (part-time and full-time) finish their study at the higher vocational
school with diploma exam. Diploma exam consists of diploma thesis and pres-
entation. The diploma thesis is the result of the student‘s independent work,
which explores a recognizable and exactly specified problem from practice.
The topic of the diploma thesis refers to contents of the higher vocational ed-
ucational program and presents practical solutions. In this paper we will pres-
ent research tasks from the Food and Nutrition higher vocational program.
The contents of the diploma thesis are referring to the food and nutrition and
to the areas of work in the company where the student take practical training.
Part-time students, who are mostly employed and work active, choose a diplo-
ma topic in the company where they are employed. 31% diploma thesis of part-
time students are related to a specific company. The students in addition to the
mentor at the higher vocational school had a mentor at the company. Under
his mentorship they conducted a research part of the diploma thesis. The re-
maining 69% students in the research part of the thesis presented topics and
solutions in food and nutrition, which are not referring to a specific company.
In this paper we will present research tasks of part-time students which are re-
ferring to the nutrition and health topics. In the research part of the diploma
thesis , students explored topics: Preparing for the IFS Food certification at Ag-
ona d.o.o., Knowing the term healthy eating, Nutrition of patients with acute
leukemia, Increasing blood sugar related to certain foods in type 1 diabetic pa-
tients, Findings of the increase number of diets in kindergartens, The influence
of eating habits on pregnant diabetes, Nutrition planning for students and the
usefulness of the school pot online portal, The influence of physical factors on
the quality of the chocolate declaration, Verification of the HACCP system in
Term Olimia d.d., Identifying causes of contamination on fine bakery prod-
ucts with molds and insects, The presence of genetically modified organisms in
food, Importance of diet for patients with chronic renal failure, Controlling le-
gionella in kindergarten Ciciban Sevnica, Influence of protein in different types
of milk on the occurrence of allergies at children, etc. Through their work, stu-
dents explore practical cases and propose solutions in the nutrition and health.
The results are publicly presented and published. With the research findings
and solutions are informed companies, where the research was conducted.
Companies often take notice on these suggestions at seeking improvements
in technological process, which leads to successful business. In general this re-
searches help raise awareness of the importance of nutrition for health.
Key words: research tasks, nutrition and helth, work active-part time students
