Teachers in Slovenia have been noticing the increased consumption of energy drinks among pupils. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate habits that contribute to the frequency of ...energy drink consumption.
36 teens participated in the study: elementary school pupils (6th and 8th grades), general upper secondary school pupils, and secondary technical school pupils (1st and 3rd year). In the course of the study 6 group interviews were held to help investigate young people's habits and their reasons for energy drink purchase and consumption. Moreover, we investigated the influence of age on the consumption and knowledge about energy drink ingredients, as well as their influence on the body.
Interview analysis showed that energy drink consumers are predominantly secondary school pupils. Their choice most frequently depends on the price, their taste, or the brand. What influences elementary school pupils' purchasing decisions are price, packaging, and advertisements, while secondary school pupils choose their drinks according to the lack of energy and how tired they feel. The predominant factors preventing energy drink consumption are health problems among family members and friends. Secondary school pupils know more about energy drink ingredients than elementary school pupils.
On the basis of these findings, we will design a survey questionnaire for Slovenian teenagers and teachers, didactic material, and suggestions for improving educational programmes.
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.
Uvod: Opravljena je bila analiza pojavljanja dejavnikov tveganja nezdravega načina prehranjevanja med odraslimi prebivalci Slovenije glede na biološke in sociodemografske spremenljivke.
Ob raziskovanju sledov rimskodobne poselitve na Grubljah (Vipava) so bili izkopani 403 ostanki velikih sesalcev, od tega 108 taksonomsko določljivih. Skupno je bilo med njimi zastopanih ...najmanj pet vrst (tj. domače govedo z dobrima dvema tretjinama najdb, ovca in/ali koza, domači prašič, konj in jelen), morda pa tudi tur in zober. Biometrična analiza govejih kosti je pokazala na prisotnost ostankov velikih živali napredne “rimske” pasme tudi še v četrtem stoletju, tj. ob nastopu poznoan-tičnega obdobja. Prav tako je s podatki za rimskodobne primerke iz širše regije skladna plečna višina konja, kateremu je pripadala edina nepoškodovana dolga kost v celotnem gradivu (tj. stopalnica). Govedoreja, sicer osrednji vir mesa za lokalno prebivalstvo, je bila primarno domnevno usmerjena v izkoriščanje volov (in krav?) kot delovne živine. Največ 6,6-odstotni delež ostankov lovnih vrst priča o (količinsko) skromnem pomenu divjačine v lokalni prehrani.
Introduction. The aim of the study was to compare the dietary habits of recreational runners with those of a random sample of the general population. We also wanted to determine the influence of ...gender, age and sports performance of recreational runners on their basic diet and compliance with recommendations in sports nutrition.
Methods. The study population consisted of 1,212 adult Slovenian recreational runners and 774 randomly selected residents of Slovenia between the ages of 18 and 65 years. The data on the dietary habits of our subjects was gathered by means of two questionnaires. The following parameters were evaluated: the type of diet, a food pattern, and the frequency of consumption of individual food groups, the use of dietary supplements, fluid intake, and alcohol consumption.
Results. Recreational runners had better compliance with recommendations for healthy nutrition than the general population. This pattern increased with the runner’s age and performance level. Compared to male runners, female runners ate more regularly and had a more frequent consumption of food groups associated with a healthy diet (fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, and low-fat dairy products). The consumption of simple sugars and use of nutritional supplements by well-trained runners was inadequate with values recommended for physically active individuals.
Conclusion. Recreational runners are an exemplary population group that actively seeks to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Namen. Spoznati prehranske navade rekreativnih tekačev in jih primerjati s prehranskimi navadami vzorca naključno izbranega dela populacije. Ugotoviti smo želeli tudi vpliv spola, starosti in tekmovalne uspešnosti/stopnje treniranosti rekreativnih tekačev na njihovo osnovno prehranjevanje in upoštevanje prehranskih priporočil pri rekreativnem športu.
Metode. Vzorec preiskovancev je sestavljalo 1212 odraslih slovenskih rekreativnih tekačev in 774 naključno izbranih prebivalcev Slovenije v starosti med 18 in 65 leti. Za ugotavljanje prehranskih navad v vzorcu vključenih posameznikov smo uporabili metodo anketiranja. Analizirali smo naslednje parametre prehranskih navad: način prehranjevanja, ritem prehranjevanja, pogostost uživanja posameznih skupin živil, uporabo prehranskih dopolnil, vnos tekočin in pitje alkoholnih pijač.
Rezultati. Prehrana rekreativnih tekačev bolj ustreza priporočilom za zdravo prehrano kot prehrana v vzorcu populacije. Prehranski vzorec se izboljšuje s starostjo tekačev in z njihovo tekmovalno uspešnostjo/stopnjo njihove treniranosti. Tekačice se bolj redno prehranjujejo kot tekači in pogosteje uživajo živila iz določenih skupin živil, ki jih povezujemo z zdravim prehranjevanjem (sadje, zelenjava, polnozrnata živila, ribe in manj mastni mlečni izdelki). Rezultati tudi kažejo, da uspešnejši - bolje trenirani tekači - zaužijejo manj enostavnih ogljikovih hidratov, kar je lahko v nasprotju s priporočili za vnos energetskih substratov pri telesni vadbi. Neustrezen je tudi vnos prehranskih dodatkov glede na športno aktivnost.
Zaključek. Vsekakor so rekreativni tekači del populacije, ki si aktivno prizadeva za bolj zdrav način življenja.
The book ('Tradition in the Contemporary World. Janče: the Green Threshold of Ljubljana') deals with dimensions of tradition in modernity, as reflected in the half-urbanized environment on the ...northeastern outskirts of Ljubljana - at Janče with its surroundings. The author analyzes the concept of tradition, which is one of the core in ethnology and folklore studies, and presents its concretizations in the ethnographic field, especially its role in local festivals. She mainly focuses on peasant work and its ritual dimensions as well as on other types of heritage/tradition of rural environment. Heritage is not only positively valued by local inhabitants, but also represented in the idealistic form, thus creating rural idyll, attractive for tourists. Having a special value, it has become the means of invoking and preserving identifications with certain communities and the area itself, and is at the same time also used as an argument in general and sustainable development of the area.
Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- V raziskovalni nalogi smo se lotile stare šege – koledovanja na Slovenskem. Za to temo smo se odločile zato, ker je naša mentorica, ...Marija Istenič, v decembru 2004 na naši šoli izvedla projekt o koledovanju. Takrat smo izvedele predvsem to, da okoli novega leta koledniki hodijo od hiše do hiše in voščijo ter prinašajo srečo. Vendar pa smo slutile, da to ni vse, kar je povezano s to šego. O tej temi smo hotele izvedeti še več in nato izdelati tudi raziskovalno nalogo. Zato smo gospo Marijo Istenič prosile, da bi nam pri izdelavi raziskovalne naloge pomagala z mentorstvom. To je z veseljem sprejela.Nato smo se »zakopale« v knjige, ki nam jih je predlagala mentorica. Nekaj smo jih poiskale tudi same. Obiskale smo tudi spletne strani. Tako smo o kolednikih spoznale predvsem teorijo, tisto, kar piše o tej šegi v različni literaturi. Ugotovile smo, da je ta šega že zelo stara ter da se razlikuje od pokrajine do pokrajine v Sloveniji. O koledovanju smo želele izvedeti še več nenapisanih informacij, zato smo obiskale Dom starejših občanov v Logatcu in Dom Marte in Marije. Tam smo se pogovarjale z zgovornimi oskrbovanci, ki so nam povedali, da koledovanje poznajo. Nekateri so ga tudi zelo natančno opisali, saj so pri njem sodelovali. Nekaj zapisov je vključenih tudi v poglavje Povedali so nam. Te zapise smo uporabile tudi za primerjavo teoretskega dela, s katerim smo se seznanile iz različne literature, in terenskega dela v pogovorih z ostarelimi v Domu občanov v Logatcu in Domu Marte in Marije.Želja po raziskovanju pa še vedno ni bila potešena. Izvedle smo anketo o poznavanju te šege na dveh šolah in rezultate primerjale. Ena od šol je bila naša matična šola, OŠ » 8 talcev« Logatec. Za sodelovanje pa smo prosili OŠ Antona Martina Slomška Vrhnika. Anketirali smo učence tretjih razredov osemletke in osmih razredov devetletke. Tudi rezultate ankete lahko preberete v nadaljevanju raziskovalne naloge.Upamo, da boste ob prebiranju te raziskovalne naloge tudi vi izvedeli kaj zanimivega in novega.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
