Community policing has been a buzzword in Anglo-American policing for the last two decades, somewhat vague in its definition but generally considered to be a good thing. In the UK the notion of ...community policing conveys a consensual policing style, offering an alternative to past public order and crimefighting styles. In the US community policing represents the dominant ideology of policing as reflected in a myriad of urban schemes and funding practices, the new orthodoxy in North American policing policy-making, strategies and tactic. But it has also become a massive export to non-western societies where it has been adopted in many countries, in the face of scant evidence of its appropriateness in very different contexts and surroundings.

Članek tematizira začetek in razvoj ženskih študij na Slovenskem in diskontinuitete v kolek-tivnem spominu na žensko gibanje. V tem oziru prikaže razvoj medvojnih ženskih društev in založb ter ...začetke univerzitetnega raziskovanja »ženskih tem«, premike, ki sta jih povzroči-la druga svetovna vojna in vzpostavljanje socialistične oblasti. Novi režim si je prizadeval za uveljavitev enakosti med spoloma, ni bil pa pripravljen ločeno obravnavati položaja žensk, njihove vloge v družini in v družbi. Kljub pomembnim spremembam je socialistična oblast ohranila patriarhalno logiko, ki se je obnovila tudi po letu 1991. Novi val feminističnega gibanja na Slovenskem je v devetdesetih letih organiziral številne nevladne organizacije in druge feministične iniciative, ki pa so po letu 2005 pojenjale. V zaključnem delu članka avtorici tematizirata umeščanje zgodovine žensk v slovensko historiografijo in ugotavljata pomen institucionalizacije ženskih študij in študij spola v akademskem okolju.
Avtorica v prispevku bralcem predstavi pregled bogate selitvene dinamike na prostoru današnje Slovenije in obmejnih prostorih v zadnjih dvesto letih. Obravnava selitve v »avstrijskem času«, med prvo ...svetovno vojno in prvo Jugoslavijo, med drugo svetovno vojno in drugo Jugoslavijo ter med vojno v Jugoslaviji in osamosvajanjem Slovenije. Ne le intenzivna priseljensko-izseljenska oziroma selitvena dinamika, do katere je prihajalo z namenom iskanja dela in zatočišča, ampak tudi politično spreminjanje meja sta selitvene študije konstituirala kot zelo kompleksen pojav. Ta postavlja številne izzive za interpretacijo, »kako migracije razumeti« kot selitvene študije 21. stoletja.
L. contains more than 100 phytocannabinoids that can interact with cannabinoid receptors CB
and CB
. None of the cannabinoid receptor ligands is entirely CB
- or CB
-specific. The effects of ...cannabinoids therefore differ not just because of different potency at cannabinoid receptors but also because they can interact with other non-CB
and non-CB
targets, such as TRPV1, GPR55, and GPR119. The most studied phytocannabinoid is Δ
-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is a partial agonist at both cannabinoid receptors, but its psychotomimetic effect is produced primarily via activation of the CB
receptor, which is strongly expressed in the central nervous system, with the noteworthy exception of the brain stem. Although acute cognitive and other effects of THC are well known, the risk of irreversible neuropsychological effects of THC needs further research to elucidate the association. Unlike THC, phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) does not appear to have psychotomimetic effects but may interact with some of the effects of THC if taken concomitantly. CBD administered orally has recently undergone well-controlled clinical trials to assess its safety in the treatment of paediatric epilepsy syndromes. Their findings point to increased transaminase levels as a safety issue that calls for postmarketing surveillance for liver toxicity. The aim of this review is to summarise what is known about acute and chronic toxicological effects of both compounds and address the gaps in knowledge about the safety of exogenous cannabinoids that are still open.
Namen: Namen prispevka je obravnavati branje kot fizično dejavnost, ki je vpisana v prostor in nosi številne sociološke konotacije. Branje analizira kot utelešeno (angl. embodied) in družbeno prakso ...in ugotavlja medsebojno sodoločenost teh dveh dimenzij.
Metodologija/pristop: V fokusnih skupinah smo izvedli pogovore s študenti iz šestih evropskih držav in jih spraševali o vplivu oziroma vlogi, ki jo vrsta besedila, namen branja in bralna naprava igrajo pri izboru konkretnega bralnega okolja. Sodelovalo je 21 deklet in 15 fantov različnih do- in podiplomskih programov s povprečno starostjo 21,5 leta.
Rezultati: Izkazalo se je, da sogovorniki večinoma niso brezbrižni do svojega bralnega okolja. Kot prostor branja so najpogosteje navedli dom, knjižnice oziroma čitalnice, poleg tega pa še druge javne kraje, npr. kavarne in parke, okolja, kjer ljudje pogosto berejo, čeprav prvotno niso namenjena branju. Na tej osnovi članek poroča o zaznanih bralnih smernicah in premišlja o njihovih morebitnih implikacijah za akademsko raziskovanje in vsakdanjo prakso.
Omejitve raziskave: Vzorec raziskave je majhen, izziv sta predstavljali skupinska dinamika in neverbalna komunikacija.
Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Študija se razlikuje od prevladujočih pristopov k branju, ki »bralni um« praviloma obravnavajo kot začasno odvezan od vseh dražljajev v fizičnem okolju. Kot pokaže, prav teh ne gre ignorirati ne v praksi ne v kontekstu raziskovanja.
Purpose: The article addresses reading as a physical engagement, inscribed in space and carrying many social connotations. It analyses reading as an embodied and social practice, and focuses on the way these two dimensions relate to each other and determine the reading experience.
Methodology/approach: We used the focus group method and talked to 36 students from six European countries, focusing on the effect or the role that the type of the text, the purpose of reading and the reading device play in selecting reading environments. We talked to 21 females and 15 males from various (under)graduate programmes with mean age 21,5.
Results: Far from expressing indifference, participants turned out to be very perceptible and sensitive towards their reading environments. Most frequently, they mentioned home, libraries and other public spaces, such as coffee shops or parks, as places where people often read, even though these are not explicitly dedicated to reading. The article reports on the emergent trends and discusses the potential implications for research and practice.
Research limitations: The sample was small; main challenge was group dynamics and non-verbal communication.
Originality/practical implications: Different from the prevailing approaches to reading, which tend to study the reading mind as if temporarily detached from all stimuli in the physical environment, this study shows how the latter is exactly what should not be ignored – neither in practice nor in academic research.
V članku se avtorica osredotoča na urbane študije na področju rudarstva. Pojasni načine antropološke vpetosti države, mednarodnih korporacij in avtohtonih skupnosti v polje rudarstva ter ...pojasni antropološko vlogo v diskurzih. V drugem delu članka se posveča skupinam, ki so le posredno povezane z rudarsko industrijo. Na tem mestu pokaže po- membnost antropološke pozornosti tudi tam, kjer vplivi rudarske industrije niso očitni.
The paper presents the findings of the first large-scale survey on post-mortem organ donation among the general Slovenian population. It focuses on the reported donation willingness, the barriers to ...joining the register of organ donors and the position towards consent to donate organs of deceased relatives.
A face-to-face survey was conducted on a probability sample of 1,076 Slovenian residents between October and December 2017. The performed analyses included estimations of means and proportions for target variables, an evaluation of between-group differences and a partial proportional odds model to study the relations between organ donation willingness and socio-demographic characteristics.
The mean reported willingness to donate one's own organs after death was 3.77 on a 5-point scale, with less than a third of respondents claiming to be certainly willing. Only 6% of those at least tentatively willing to donate organs were certain to join the register of organ donors in the future. The most frequently reported barriers to registration were unfamiliarity with the procedure and a lack of considering it beforehand. The reported willingness to donate organs of a deceased relative strongly depended on the knowledge of the relative's wishes, yet 80% of the respondents did not discuss their wishes with any family members.
The findings confirm the gap between the reported donation willingness and joining the register of donors. Future post-mortem organ donation strategies need to consider socio-demographic and attitudinal factors of donation willingness and help stimulate the communication about organ donation wishes between family members.
In this book (' The Spaces of Slovenian Literature'), a team of researchers from the ZRC SAZU and the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana led by Marko Juvan develops a new discipline, which is formed at the ...intersection between the analysis of the literary system and geography and relies on geographic information systems. Based on the spatial humanities approach presented in the introductory chapters, the following analyses, thematic maps and graphs try to explain how the “national space” was formed both ideologically and materially due to the interaction between geographical factors and literary practices in Slovenian from 1780 to 1940. The argument is based on spatial statistical analysis of data sets of biographies of literary actors, development of the press, publishing, literary clubs and theaters, the places represented in historical novels, and a constellation of memorial objects and designations dedicated to Slovenian writers. Systemic treatment is supplemented with discussions on the depicted and living spaces of selected writers from the 17th to the 21st century.
Članek obravnava Plavtovo komedijo Rudens; izhaja iz prologa, ki v komedijo z izpostavljanjem izrazito rimskih pojmov pietas in fides vnaša resnoben didaktično-moralizirajoč ton; posveča se analizi ...omenjenih pojmov, pri tem pa se dotika vprašanj, ki zadevajo komično konvencijo in komedijo kot dramsko zvrst nasploh.
