Cilj je ovog istraživanja ispitati doprinos varijabli obiteljskog i varijabli vršnjačkog konteksta u objašnjenju samopoštovanja tijekom rane, srednje i kasne adolescencije. U istraživanju je ...sudjelovalo 344 osnovnoškolaca, 370 srednjoškolaca te 357 studenata. Prosječna dob sudionika u skupini mlađih adolescenata iznosi M = 12.6 (SD = 0.63), u skupini srednjih adolescenata M = 16.5 (SD = 0.57), a u skupini starijih adolescenata M = 20.6 (SD = 1.17). Primijenjeni su sljedeći instrumenti: Upitnik općih podataka, Upitnik roditeljskog prihvaćanja-odbacivanja, Skala obiteljske prilagodljivosti i kohezivnosti, Upitnik kvalitete prijateljstva, Upitnik privrženosti vršnjacima – revidirana verzija i Rosenbergova skala za mjerenje samopoštovanja. Rezultati provedenih hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza upućuju na to da set prediktorskih varijabli objašnjava 38% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod mlađih, 21% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod srednjih i 27% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod starijih adolescenata. Kada su u pitanju obiteljske varijable, u skupini mlađih i srednjih adolescenata značajni su prediktori samopoštovanja varijable roditeljsko prihvaćanje-odbacivanje od strane majke i obiteljska prilagodljivost i kohezivnost, a kod starijih adolescenata varijable roditeljsko prihvaćanje-odbacivanje od strane majke i oca. Od varijabli vršnjačkog konteksta kao značajan prediktor samopoštovanja u sve tri skupine adolescenata izdvojila se kvaliteta privrženosti vršnjacima. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na to da je pri razmatranju obiteljskih i vršnjačkih odrednica samopoštovanja kod adolescenata nužno uzeti u obzir različite oblike obiteljskih i vršnjačkih interakcija, ali i uvažavati razvojne specifičnosti pojedinih razdoblja adolescencije.
A prominent authority on China's Belt and Road Initiative
reveals the global risks lurking within Beijing's project of the
century China's Belt and Road Initiative is the world's
most ambitious and ...misunderstood geoeconomic vision. To carry out
President Xi Jinping's flagship foreign-policy effort, China
promises to spend over one trillion dollars for new ports,
railways, fiber-optic cables, power plants, and other connections.
The plan touches more than one hundred and thirty countries and has
expanded into the Arctic, cyberspace, and even outer space. Beijing
says that it is promoting global development, but Washington warns
that it is charting a path to global dominance. Taking readers on a
journey to China's projects in Asia, Europe, and Africa, Jonathan
E. Hillman reveals how this grand vision is unfolding. As China
pushes beyond its borders and deep into dangerous territory, it is
repeating the mistakes of the great powers that came before it,
Hillman argues. If China succeeds, it will remake the world and
place itself at the center of everything. But Xi may be
overreaching: all roads do not yet lead to Beijing.

This book challenges the common European notions about African migration to Europe and offers a holistic understanding of the current situation in Africa. It advocates a need to rethink Africa-Europe ...relations and view migration and borders as a resource rather than as sources of a crisis.
Migrant movement from Africa is often misunderstood and misrepresented as invasion caused by displacement due to poverty, violent conflict, and environmental stress. To control this movement and preserve national identities, the EU and its various member states resort to closing borders as a way of reinforcing their migration policies. This book aims to dismantle this stereotypical view of migration from Africa by sharing cutting-edge research from the leading scholars in Africa and Europe. It refutes the flawed narratives that position Africa as a threat to European societies, their economies, and security, and encourages a nuanced understanding of the root causes as well as the socioeconomic factors that guide the migrants’ decision-making. With chapters written in a concise style, this book brings together the migration and border studies in an innovative way to delve into the broader societal impacts of both. It also serves to de-silence the African voices in order to offer fresh insights on African migration – a discourse dominated hitherto by the European perspective.
This book constitutes a valuable resource for research scholars and students of Border Studies, Migration Studies, Conflict and Security Studies, and Development Studies seeking specialisation in these areas. Written in an accessible style, it will also appeal to a more general public interested in gaining a fuller perspective on the African reality.
Istraživanjem se razmatrao značaj personalnih korelata kvaliteta bliskih odnosa u odraslom dobu. Postavilo se pitanje u kojoj meri osobine ličnosti i afektivna vezanost doprinose njihovom kvalitetu. ...Istraživanje je realizovano 2015. godine u Novom Sadu na uzorku od 400 ispitanika oba pola, uzrasta od 19 do 51 godine, putem mernih instrumenata: Inventar mreže socijalnih odnosa, Velikih pet plus dva, Upitnik za procenu afektivne vezanosti. Modeli hijerarhijske regresije za kvalitet bliskih odnosa (p < .01) ukazuju na značajnost pojedinih osobina ličnosti i dimenzija afektivne vezanosti. U najslabijem slučaju, pretpostavljeni model objašnjava 5% varijanse kvalite-ta odnosa sa ocem. Osobina ekstraverzija je značajni korelat većine bliskih odnosa (najniža prediktorska snaga za odnos sa ocem i partnerom β = .13). Slede ju negativna valenca i savesnost, dok se afektivna vezanost pokazuje značajnom u slučaju odnosa sa braćom/sestrama. Različiti korelati ličnosti i afektivne vezanosti se pokazuju značajni za različite bliske odnose što je protumačeno razlikama po pitanju mehanizama funkcionisanja bliskih odnosa i njihove uloge i funkcija u životu pojedinaca.
As financial turmoil in Europe preoccupies political leaders and global markets, it becomes more important than ever to understand the forces that underpin the European Union, hold it together and ...drive it forward. This timely book provides a gripping account of the realities of power politics among European states and between their leaders. Drawing on long experience working behind the scenes, Luuk van Middelaar captures the dynamics and tensions shaping the European Union from its origins until today.It is a story of unexpected events and twists of fate, bold vision and sheer necessity, told from the perspective of the keyplayers - from de Gaulle to Havel, Thatcher to Merkel. Van Middelaar cuts through the institutional complexity by exploring the unforeseen outcomes of decisive moments and focusing on the quest for public legitimacy.As a first-hand witness to the day-to-day actions and decisions of Europe's leaders, the author provides a vivid narrative of the crises and compromises that united a continent. By revisiting the past, he sheds fresh light on the present state of European unification and offers insights into what the future may hold.
The volume brings together academics and practitioners from across the EU to address the question of 'facultative mixity' in the EU's external relations, i.e. the situation whereby both the EU and ...its Member States enter into an international agreement with a third country even if legally the EU could act on its own.
This article focuses on young people in family farms (Croatian OPGs) in Vidovec, more specifically on young people’s actions (using Bourdieu’s habitus), young people’s roles and on family and work ...relations, all of which have an impact on young people. The aim of this qualitative research is to identify the different processes that young people go through in the OPGs, which is motivated by the lack of research on this topic in Croatia. The data was collected through six semi-structured interviews. The habitus of young people in OPGs is formed in childhood and is represented by the interaction of family, social and agricultural situations. Family, work and gender roles in the OPG are recognized, especially the role of successor and helper. Young people are mainly driven by the obligation to help their parents in the OPG, for family and economic reasons. Life choices in the OPG are rarely binary and dichotomous, which is reflected in the activities of the young people and in the relations between the young people and their parents. Life in the OPG entails an intertwining of family and work relations, based on which hierarchies and different power relations can be recognized. The current conditions set by local self-government, the circumstances of Croatian agriculture and agricultural incentives lead young people to consider leaving agriculture in the future, although these reasons are not decisive. This decision is primarily influenced by family and work relations in the OPG and is linked to the problems of leaving the farmer’s habitus.
Uvod: Spolno vedenje je pogosto povezano z določenim zdravstvenim tveganjem, kar vključuje nizko spolno ozaveščenost, značilno za spolno vedenje mladih brez izkušenj. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti ...odnos učencev do spolnega vedenja ter vlogo staršev in spolne vzgoje pri zavedanju učencev o posledicah tveganega spolnega vedenja. Metode: Izvedena je bila kvantitativna neeksperimentalna metoda raziskovanja, s pomočjo strukturiranega vprašalnika na vzorcu 144 učencev ene izmed osnovnih šol na Gorenjskem, septembra 2013. Za analizo podatkov so bili uporabljeni opisna statistika, Mann Whitneyjev U-test, Kruskall – Wallisov test ter linearna večkratna regresijska analiza. Rezultati: Trditev »Kadar imam težave, mi družina nudi oporo« ima statistično značilen vpliv na pozitivno oblikovanje mnenj o spolnem vedenju (β = 0,259, p = 0,002). Ugotovili smo statistično pomemben vpliv zavedanja anketirancev o posledicah tveganega spolnega vedenja in proučevanih spremenljivk, kot sta »Spolna vzgoja pomaga pri razumevanju telesnih in čustvenih sprememb, ki jih prinaša puberteta (β = 0,089,p < 0,001)« in »Pri prvem spolnem odnosu moram paziti, da sem zaščiten/-a« (β = 0,066, p = 0,001). Diskusija in zaključek: Anketirani učenci so dovzetni za ustvarjanje boljšega spolnega vedenja takrat, ko jim podporo - pogosto kot prvi vir - nudi družina. Spolna vzgoja predstavlja preventivo pred tveganim spolnim vedenjem. Gre za proces, v katerem posameznik pridobi informacije in oblikuje stališče / prepričanja o spolnosti, spolni identiteti, odnosih in intimnosti.
Uvod: Sodobni čas prinaša nove koncepte delovne kulture in nove oblike sodelovanja v interdisciplinarnih timih in prav medsebojna komplementarnost ter razumevanje spretnosti posameznih poklicnih ...skupin so kazalnik uspešnega medpoklicnega sodelovanja. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti značilnosti procesa medpoklicnega sodelovanja v zdravstvenih timih in identificirati ključne komponente dobrega sodelovanja. Metode: V neeksperimentalni opisni kvantitativni raziskavi je bil uporabljen prirejen vprašalnik za oceno medpoklicnega sodelovanja v interdisciplinarnih timih. V priložnostni vzorec sta bila zajeta 203 zdravstvena delavca. Od tega je bilo 147 (72,4 %) medicinskih sester, 27 (13,3 %) zdravnikov in 29 (14,3 %) drugih zdravstvenih sodelavcev. Podatki so bili analizirani z osnovno deskriptivno statistiko, korelacijskim koeficientom (Spermanova korelacija), Kolmogorov-Smirnovovim in Shapiro-Wilkovim testom ter Mann-Whitneyjev U-testom. Rezultati: Ugotovitve kažejo statistično pomembne razlike o stopnji zadovoljstva med zdravstvenimi poklici. V povprečju so najbolj zadovoljni zdravniki s svojim sodelovanjem tako z medicinskimi sestrami (x = 3,03, s = 0,26) kot z drugimi zdravstvenimi sodelavci (x = 2,86, s = 0,22). Najmanj zadovoljne so medicinske sestre s sodelovanjem z zdravniki (x = 2,36, s = 0,42). Diskusija in zaključek: Na osnovi rezultatov smo dobili vpogled v oceno trenutne stopnje sodelovanja v interdisciplinarnem timu, pri čemer so zdravniki optimistični v oceni sodelovanja, v nasprotju pa so medicinske sestre v svoji oceni bolj kritične. Različni pogledi in odnos zdravstvenih delavcev do sodelovanja kažejo potrebo po umestitvi teme poklicnega sodelovanja v formalno izobraževanje.
