V zadnjih petih letih so se v Varaždinski in Medžimurski županiji uresničile nove možnosti učenja slovenskega jezika v šolah. V prispevku obravnavamo pravne možnosti urejanja položaja slovenščine na ...Hrvaškem, uresničevanje možnosti učenja slovenščine v Varaždinski in Medžimurski županiji v praksi ter izsledke raziskav, opravljenih med dijaki dveh srednjih šol in njihovimi starši o učenju slovenskega jezika. Izsledki raziskav so med drugim pokazali, da imajo dijaki in starši do učenja slovenskega jezika pozitiven odnos. Znanje slovenščine jim pomeni zlasti večje možnosti za izobraževanje oziroma zaposlitev v Sloveniji. Pokazalo pa se je tudi, da je med učenci slovenskega jezika malo pripadnikov slovenske manjšine.
Krasno polje se nahaja v severnem Velebitu v Dinarskem gorstvu na Hrvaškem. Kraško polje je popolnoma zapolnjeno s prodom in v hidrološkem pogledu neaktivno. Ugotovili smo, da so bila pobočja nad ...poljem v hladnejših obdobjih pleistocena izrazito preoblikovana z ledeniškim delovanjem. Tako so predledeniški vršaji zapolnili kraško kotanjo pod njimi in oblikovali piedmontski tip kraškega polja. Domnevamo, da je bilo kraško polje zapolnjeno s predledeniškim materialom vsaj v dveh različnih poledenitvenih fazah.
The aim of our study was to examine the scabies incidence in the Croatian population and to analyse potential related factors.
This mixed ecological study is based on a retrospective medical record ...review. National data from communicable disease reports was sourced and analysed for an 11-year period (2007-2017), with more focus on the period 2014-2017. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate trends. Differences between the groups were studied using Chi-square test and Kendall's tau (τ) correlation coefficient. Levels of significance were set at p<0.05 or p<0.01.
From 2007 to 2017, scabies infestation in Croatia increased by 6-fold, particularly affecting children and young adults (19 years or younger). In the period 2014-2017, border counties which are part of migration flows were the counties with the highest average scabies incidences. A linear trend of increase in the number of tourists, immigrants and scabies infestations was noted on the national level for the analysed period, although a significant association was not observed. Regarding outbreaks of scabies within institutions, more than 80% of outbreaks occurred in institutions for adults. In the capital, Zagreb, the crude incidence rate increased 3-fold between 2014 and 2017.
The increased incidence of scabies, large disparities between counties, and prolonged outbreaks within families due to under-recognition and misdiagnoses points to a need for increased awareness among health practitioners. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first recent epidemiologic analysis on this topic, not only in Croatia but within the wider geographic region as well.
The aim was to adapt the Croatian and the Serbian versions of the Oral Health Impact Profile for the edentulous population (OHIP-EDENT-CRO and OHIP-EDENT-SRB).
The translation and cross-cultural ...adaptation were carried out in accordance with accepted international standards. A total of 95 and 177 removable denture wearers were recruited in Croatia and Serbia respectively. The reliability was evaluated by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and by test-retest (30 participants in each country). The concurrent validity was determined by calculating the Spearman's rank coefficient between the OHIP-EDENT summary scores and one question related to removable denture satisfaction. Construct validity was determined by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Responsiveness was determined by comparison of the OHIP-EDENT summary scores before and after dental implant placement to support mandibular overdentures (23 patients in Croatia, 21 in Serbia).
Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.92 in Croatia and 0.87 in Serbia. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.98 in Croatia and 0.94 in Serbia. In Croatia the Spearman's correlation coefficient was -0.71 (p<0.001) and in Serbia -0.74 (p<0.001). Both confirmed concurrent validity. Construct validity was tested by EFA, which extracted four factors in each country, accounting for 66.59% of the variance in Croatia and 59.33% in Serbia. Responsiveness was confirmed in both countries by a significant OHIP-EDENT summary score reduction and a high standardised effect size (3.9 in Croatia, 1.53 in Serbia).
The results prove that both instruments, the OHIP-EDENT-CRO and the OHIP-EDENT-SRB, have very good psychometric properties for assessing OHRQoL in the edentulous population.
Bjelovarsko-bilogorska županija leži v osrednjem delu hrvaškega panonsko-subpanonskega prostora. Kljub ugodni lokaciji znotraj Hrvaške in ugodnim fizičnogeografskim značilnostim ima v zadnjih 50 ...letih zelo negativne demografske značilnosti. Z vidika celotne županije so demografske razmere v podeželskih delih še veliko bolj neugodne kot v mestnih naseljih. Med letoma 1961 in 2011 se je delež podeželskega prebivalstva v županiji zmanjšal za 46,7 %.
Osrednji slovenski literarni časopis je izhajal mesečno. Po prenehanju izhajanja Stritarjevega časnika Zvona, so Josip Jurčič, Fran Levec, Janko Kersnik in Ivan Tavčar ustanovili literarno ...svobodomiselno revijo, sprva kot glasilo realistov. Poleg leposlovja, je vseboval tudi umetniško kritiko ter razprave in eseje o umetnostih. Sprva je bil bolj znanstveno usmerjen (Leposlovni in znanstveni list), kasneje se je omejil še na humanistiko (Mesečnik za književnost in prosveto), od 1931 (Slovenska revija) je objavljal tudi prispevke o aktualnih družbenih vprašanjih. V Ljubljanskem zvonu so objavljali pomembnejši slovenski pesniki in pisatelji: Anton Aškerc, Simon Gregorčič, Janko Kersnik, Ivan Tavčar, Janez Trdina, Oton Župančič, Ivan Cankar, Vladimir Bartol… Avtorji, ki so pisali o znanosti so bili: Fran levstik, Josip Apih, Ivan Šubic…
