ObjectiveOur aim was to assess the level and socio-demographic correlates of the ability to maintain health among children in Albania, a post-communist country in the Western Balkans.MethodsA ...cross-sectional study was conducted in Albania in September 2022. The study population consisted of a nationwide representative sample of 7,831 schoolchildren (≈54% girls) aged 12-15 years. A structured self-administered and anonymous questionnaire inquired about the children's attitudes toward health promotion (ability to maintain and improve health) and a range of key dimensions on knowledge and practices regarding healthcare services. Socio-demographic data were also collected. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the socio-demographic correlates of children's ability to maintain health.ResultsOverall, about 71% of schoolchildren exhibited the best attitudes toward health promotion (ability to maintain and improve health). In the multivariable adjusted logistic regression models, poorer attitudes toward health promotion (ability to maintain and improve health) were significantly related to older age (OR=1.2, 95% CI=1.0-1.3), middle/low maternal education (OR=1.2, 95%CI=1.1-1.3), poor/very poor economic situation (OR=1.5, 95%CI=1.2-1.8), lack of appropriate knowledge about rights to healthcare (OR=1.3, 95% CI=1.1-1.5), lack of knowledge about obtaining healthcare services (OR=1.7, 95%CI=1.4-2.2), and lack of consultations/visits with health professionals excluding vaccinations (OR=1.2, 95%CI=1.1-1.4).ConclusionsAlmost 1/3rd of Albanian schoolchildren included in this study did not exhibit the best attitudes toward health promotion (ability to maintain and improve health). The best attitudes were related to a higher socioeconomic level and adequate knowledge and practices regarding healthcare services. There is thus a need to increase health literacy levels among children in order to ultimately induce sustainable healthy behavioural/lifestyle practices.
Arheološka dediščina nujno terja sodelovanje med arheologijo in arhitekturo, saj lahko le interdisciplinarno sodelovanje zagotovi poglobljeno raziskavo, sodobno dediščinsko interpretacijo ter ...posledično celostno in dolgoročno varovanje in upravljanje arheološke dediščine. Takšen postopek torej nudi kakovostnejšo obravnavo, mnogoplastne informacije, konservacijo, restavracijo in prezentacijo arheološke dediščine, česar ena ali druga veda sama ne zmore zagotoviti.
Želje sodobne družbe ter uporabnikov arheološke dediščine, kakor tudi sodobni pristopi k ohranjanju in zaščiti, so pripeljali do postopnega obujanja intenzivnejšega sodelovanja med arheologi in arhitekti, kar se kaže tudi v počasnem razvoju teoretičnih temeljev za sodelovanje med obema strokama in sprejemanju nacionalnih (slovenskih) ter mednarodnih listin in priporočil o raziskavah, interpretaciji, varovanju ter prezentaciji arheološkega dediščine, ki spodbujajo sodelovanje in inkluzijo.
Prispevek, ki je nastal na podlagi etnografske raziskave, osvetli dinamiko razmerij v slovenskem ornitološkem in naravovarstvenem društvu DOPPS, v katerem se prepletajo prostovoljske in profesionalne ...dejavnosti. Na primeru društva prikaže konfliktna razmerja med skupinami, hkrati pa opiše recipročnost in sodelovanje ter poenotenje kulturnih predpostavk, ki so pomembne za doseganje skupnih ciljev. Avtor ugotavlja, da nestabilna in nasprotujoča si razmerja v društvu utemeljujejo nenavaden preplet med hierarhično organizacijo in egalitarno skupnostjo, ki jo britanski socialni antropolog Martin Parker imenuje »skupnizacija«. Takšna družbena oblika je sicer strukturirana in organizirana, a hkrati utemeljena na rudimentarni pripadnosti in solidarnosti njenih članov. Meja med delom in prostim časom je v njej v dobršni meri zabrisana, hierarhična razmerja niso jasna in poudarjena, njeni člani imajo enak delež pri produkciji in dejavnostih, vanjo rekrutirajo predvsem enako misleče posameznike, odločanje v njej pa poteka počasi in z demokratičnimi procesi. Številne od teh lastnosti najdemo v DOPPS, ki deluje kot preplet organizacije in omrežja oziroma skupnosti. Organizacija torej soobstaja in se simbiotično dopolnjuje z omrežjem ali skupnostjo kot entiteta, ki je ne moremo upodobiti s preprostim dvodimenzionalnim modelom (organigramom). V njej se namreč prepletata dva modela sodelovanja, in sicer hierarhična organizacija s »piramidalno« strukturo ter horizontalna skupnost oziroma omrežje prostovoljcev, v katerem se razmerja nenehno na novo definirajo.

V članku je obravnavano področje varovanja kmetijskih zemljišč pred pozidavo v Sloveniji z vidika plačila zaradi spremembe namembnosti. Posebno plačilo zaradi spremembe namembnosti kmetijskih ...zemljišč je bilo na območju Slovenije uvedeno v sedemdesetih letih preteklega stoletja, z njim so želeli upočasniti takratne izredno velike posege v kmetijski prostor in hkrati pridobiti finančne vire za vlaganja v kmetijstvo, predvsem v agrarne operacije. V raziskavi smo preučevali metodologijo obračunavanja ter višino odškodnine za spremembo namembnosti kmetijskih zemljišč na območju Slovenije za posamezne časovne intervale v obdobju 1979–2012. Poleg rezultatov raziskave predstavljamo zakonska določila, ki so v posameznih obdobjih urejala področje obravnave. Višina namenskega plačila zaradi spremembe namembnosti kmetijskih zemljišč je za študijsko obdobje predstavljena za tri katastrske okraje (Novo mesto, Kranjsko Goro, Mursko Soboto) ter podrobneje za izvedene primere plačil na območju upravne enote Lendava v katastrskem okraju Murska Sobota. Ugotovili smo, da se je višina plačila zaradi spremembe namembnosti kmetijskih zemljišč spreminjala po obdobjih in da je bila v preteklosti že veliko višja od višine plačila, ki je bila določena s spremembo zakonodaje v letu 2011 in v letu 2012 še znižana ; This article discusses the field of agricultural land protection against soil sealing in Slovenia from the perspective of the land development tax applied to land-use changes. In Slovenia, the land development tax for agricultural land use change was introduced in 1970s with the aim to slow-down the then huge interventions in agricultural land and at the same time to get financial resources for investments in agriculture, in particular for the purpose of agrarian operations. In the research, the methodology for calculating the land development tax for conversion of agricultural land to built-up land and the amount of the tax in Slovenia during reference intervals in the study period 1979-2012 is analysed. The results of the research are presented together with the legal framework, which regulated the discussed field in individual time periods. For the study period, an analysis of methodology for calculating the agricultural land development tax was done for three cadastral districts (Novo mesto, Kranjska Gora and Murska Sobota), and an in-depth analysis of actual payments was done in the area of administrative unit of Lendava in the cadastral district of Murska Sobota. It has been shown that the amount of the agricultural land development tax was changing in the study period and that its value in the past had significantly exceeded the amount, which was determined with the change of legislation in 2011, and has been even decreased in 2012.

Ta prispevek se ukvarja s tem, kako mestni prebivalci dojemajo upravljanje okolja in varovanje okolja v narodnih parkih, zlasti v Jugovzhodni Evropi, in kakšen odnos imajo do teh vprašanj. Dejavniki, ...ki sodobne turiste spodbujajo k obisku narodnih parkov, pogosto niso jasni. Sodobne družboslovne raziskave se jim ne posvečajo dovolj. Zato smo preučili profil in potrebe urbanih obiskovalcev narodnega parka Pelister v Republiki Makedoniji. Zanimalo nas je, v kolikšni meri je njihovo zanimanje za naravne značilnosti območja pristno oziroma površno in simbolno. Izsledki so pokazali, da je zanimanje urbanih obiskovalcev predvsem površno. To razkriva potrebo po razvoju učinkovite strategije za odnos do obiskovalcev, ki bo sestavni del splošnega upravljanja narodnih parkov.

Mestna občina (MO) Koper je ena od študij primera v evropskem raziskovalnem projektu PLUREL1. Namen projekta je razviti nove strategije in orodja za načrtovanje ter napovedovanje prihodnjih rab ...prostora. Za MO Koper so bili ≫preigrani≪ trije scenariji mogočeprihodnje rabe zemljišč, ki so bili na podlagi številnih kazalcev in trendov prostorsko opredeljeni z modelom MOLAND2. Model temelji na prostorski dinamiki, glavna spremenljivka v njem pa je raba zemljišč. Na podlagi različnih scenarijev se z modelom projicirajo spremembe rabe zemljišč v prihodnosti glede na vrsto rabe in sprememba se prostorsko opredeli. : The Municipality of Koper is one of the case studies in the European research project PLUREL. The project isaimed at developing new strategies and tools for future land use planning and prediction. Some scenarios for possible future land use have been prepared and spatially defined, based upon different indicators and trends, using the MOLAND model. The model is basedon spatial dynamics, a key variable being the land use and the state of each cell is its land use class (e.g. residential, industrial, commercial, forest, agricultural land etc.). Based on the developed storylines of the scenarios, the model simulates changes in future land use and spatially defines the changes.

Slovenija: redkokatere ptice so tako povezane s človekom kot bele štorklje. Nič čudnega, saj so si za svoja gnezdišča izbrale dimnike in strehe naših bivališč in nam tako zaupale najintimnejše trenutke svojega življenja. Žal pa marsikatero gnezdo spomladi ostane prazno, kot nemi opomin našemu početju.- Slovenia: Not many birds are so strongly connected to humans as white storks. This isn't a surprise since they have chosen chimneys and roofs of our dwellings for their nesting sites and so have shared the most intimate moments of their lives with us. Unfortunately many nests remain empty in the spring as a silent reminder of our activities.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
