Pandemija covida-19 je pomenila velik pretres za turizem po svetu in v Sloveniji. Prišlo je do močnega zmanjšanja števila turističnih potovanj in prenočitev ter preusmeritve turističnih tokov. ...Prispevek predstavlja rezultate anketne raziskave, katere namen je bil poglobiti poznavanje učinkov pandemije covida-19 na turistično ravnanje slovenskega prebivalstva. Rezultati so pokazali, da je pandemija vplivala na manj pogosta in krajša turistična potovanja ter izbiro drugačnih turističnih destinacij. Pri sprejemanju potovalnih odločitev je bila pomembna tako vloga epidemioloških omejitev in zaznavanja varnosti različnih oblik turističnih potovanj kot tudi običajnih dejavnikov turističnega odločanja.
Živimo v času, ko razvoj novih, naprednih tehnologij zahteva široko družbeno podporo, saj lahko te le tako kakorkoli prispevajo k blagostanju celotnega človeštva. V tem okviru se povečuje ...pomen sodelovanja naravoslovcev in družboslovcev. Sintezna biologija kot ena najbolj naprednih novih tehnologij zasluži posebno pozornost družbene in humanistične misli. Področje sintezne biologije je za družbo še vedno precej velika neznanka. Prispevek podaja kritično oceno družbenih koristi in tveganj današnjega ter prihodnjega razvoja sintezne biologije. Avtor prispevka izhaja iz osnovne predpostavke, da danes različne nadzorne institucije veliko pozornosti namenjajo okoljskim tveganjem sintezne biologije, vse premalo pa se ukvarjajo z ekonomskimi tveganji, ki v končni fazi lahko pripeljejo do zaustavitve razvoja te nove in za prihodnost družbe pomembne tehnologije.
Dance-related injuries have become a field of great interest to researchers, with the most commonly reported injuries being those sustained by ballet dancers. However, there is a lack of research ...into injuries sustained by those who perform modern and hip-hop dance.
A systematic literature review using the MEDLINE research database was performed and a search carried out for full-text studies that investigate injuries in modern and hip-hop dance.
While a total of 74 hits were obtained from various searches, only nine studies were included in the systematic literature review. Six of them examined modern dancers, two examined break dancers and one examined hip-hop dancers. The results show that hip-hop dancers (and especially break dancers) sustain more injuries in comparison to modern dancers. The most common injuries are in the lower extremities, with studies revealing that overuse injuries occur in up to 71% of cases.
The injury incidence rate in hip-hop dance seems to be higher compared to modern dance, chiefly because of the more demanding biomechanics involved and the dance techniques employed. Prevention management can have a positive effect on the number of injuries.
V velikih mestih je varnost pomemben dejavnik. Strah pred kriminalom pa je dejavnik, ki ni odvisen od dejanske stopnje kriminala, ampak je neposredno povezan s kakovostjo prostora, ki vpliva na ...posameznikov občutek varnosti. Razlikuje se tudi glede na spol. V članku avtorici proučujeta strah pred kriminalom na javnih krajih na varnem območju velike metropole, pri čemer se osredotočata na to, kako na ta strah vplivajo prostorske značilnosti in kakšne so razlike med spoloma. Raziskava je bila leta 2017 izvedena v enem najvarnejših predelov Istanbula, ki ga tudi ženske dojemajo kot varnega. Vključevala je anketo, v kateri je sodelovalo 387 anketirancev in anketirank različnih starosti. Avtorici sta jih spraševali o strahu pred kriminalom na javnih krajih ter kdaj in zakaj ga občutijo. Izsledki so pokazali, da ženske tudi v varni soseski v mestu občutijo nekaj strahu ter da so med moškimi in ženskami pomembne razlike v tem, kako občutijo strah na javnih prostorih in v kakšnih okoliščinah.
Among young adults, high rates of binge drinking were observed in certain European countries. Binge drinking is associated with several health problems (unplanned pregnancy, HIV infections, problems ...with memory, and injuries). The aim of this questionnaire-based study was to measure the frequency of binge drinking and its association with sociodemographic, familial, lifestyle factors and school performance among secondary and university students (n=2449) in Csongrád County, Hungary.
In this cross-sectional study the students' sociodemographic data, parents' educational and economic level, and students' academic performance and self-reported use of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol were collected by a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were applied using SPSS 24.0 software.
Altogether 2449 Hungarian secondary school students and university students participated in the study. Nearly one-third of the students were classified as binge drinkers, significantly more male university students. Tobacco or illicit drug use resulted in higher odds of being a binge drinker in both subgroups. Poor school performance and binge drinking were significantly correlated especially among secondary school students.
Targeting alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use together, including education, parent interventions, and public health policies, are crucial in the prevention of possible serious consequences.
