Avtorica v prispevku predstavi širok pogled na različne oblike nasilja in vrste zlorab, ki kaže, da to ni le individualni, temveč tudi družbeni problem. Razišče tudi pristope, ki jih uporabljajo ...raziskovalci različnih ved, vključno z antropologijo in sociologijo, in poudari, da so pogosto najbolj produktivni interdisciplinarni pristopi, saj zajemajo širok nabor idej o nasilju in zlorabi in o njunem učinku na družbo kot celoto. Nadalje razišče kompleksnost vzrokov in učinkov nasilja in sklene z mislijo, da smo nasilja sposobni vsi in da se lahko kadarkoli zgodi vsakomur od nas. Zato je izjemnega pomena, da tisti, ki želijo pomagati žrtvam zlorab, ne dajejo sodb ter da se zavedajo vpliva zlorabe na posameznike in na skupnosti, v katerih ti posamezniki živijo.
V prispevku prikazujemo, kako smo uporabili model partnerskega sodelovanja pri proučevanju izobraževalnih potreb in razvoju novih izobraževalnih programov v regionalnem okolju. Model smo razvili na ...Andragoškem centru Slovenije (ACS) v okviru razvojnega projekta z naslovom Razvoj kakovosti izobraževalne ponudbe v izbranih regijah. Osredotočili smo se na tri zaokrožene vsebinske sklope, in sicer ugotavljanje potreb po novih izobraževalnih programih, razvoj novih izobraževalnih programov ter njihovo umeščanje v regionalno okolje. Prikazujemo tudi temeljna metodološka izhodišča, na katerih so zasnovani novi izobraževalni programi, še posebno, kako v postopke kurikularnega načrtovanja umeščamo učnociljni in kompetenčni ter modularni pristop ter akcijsko izobraževanje. Posamezne faze v teh postopkih smo prikazali na treh primerih dobrih praks razvoja novih izobraževalnih programov v treh slovenskih regijah.
Italy is the main recipient of asylum seekers in the European region, and Sicily is their first point of arrival. This geographical position creates a large job for Health Authorities to identify and ...deal with the health of immigrants. This study evaluates the prevalence of disease among asylum seekers, assessing which are associated factors.
A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyse demographic and clinical data in an Acceptance Centres for Asylum Seekers from February 2012 to May 2013. All variables that were found to be significant on unvariable analysis for the most frequent pathologies were included in a multivariable logistic regression model.
Post-traumatic stress disorders with 17.4% and major depression with 7.3% were the most frequent diseases. The factors associated with post-traumatic stress disorders among asylum seekers were: major depression diagnosis (OR=2.91, p=0.004), Pakistan as a country of origin (OR=3.88, p<0.001), the largest number of medical visits (OR=1.02, p=0.033) and refugee status (OR=1.97, p=0.036). The variables linked with the diagnosis of major depression from the multivariable analysis were: suffering from post-traumatic stress disorders (OR=3.83, p<0.001), Pakistan as a country of origin (OR=3.45, p=0.004) and the highest number of visits to psychologist (OR=1.15, p<0.001).
The mental wellbeing of asylum seekers needs special attention, and interventions should be done to prevent the consolidation of psychiatric morbidity. A short psychological screening after the arrival might prove helpful here. Moreover, carefully designed longitudinal studies should be carried out when political recommendations try to change the organization of psychological and healthcare services.
The aim of the study was to analyse the deviations of the body posture and to assess the occurrence of spine deformities. Additionally, Body Mass Index in school children was related to the trend in ...postural deformities for different age groups (5-8 years old, n=112; 9-11 years old, n=205; 12-14 years old, n=212) as part of the project "Spine Lab", granted from the European Commission IPA founds, investigating the importance of public health issues.
Body posture was measured using Contemplas 3D software analyser, based on video image trajectory and BIA weight scale (Tanita BC 420). Overall, 17 variables were assessed, and differences were confirmed using MANOVA analysis.
The results showed that there is a significant difference between age groups for the measured variables (F=9.27; p<0.01; η
=0.26), suggesting a moderate difference across the age span.
The study results showed that there is a negative trend of increasing Body Mass Index within the first and youngest age group. The fact is that the trend of increasing deformity of the shoulder belt has been noted, often inclining towards the formation of milder forms of kyphotic posture. Other forms of deformity that are accentuated in the survey results are the negative trend of increasing pelvic rotation and pelvis rotation which inclines towards the formation of lordotic posture for all three age groups.
Transportation in urban areas, particularly metropolitan regions, generates congestion and vast greenhouse gas emissions, and thus imposes enormous challenges upon authorities in providing healthy ...living conditions and a supportive environment for businesses. Thus, the overall objective of the SMART-MR project was to support local and regional authorities in improving transport policies and providing sustainable measures for achieving resilient low-carbon transportation and mobility in metropolitan regions. To tackle this issue, ten project partners from eight metropolitan regions (Oslo, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Budapest, Ljubljana, Rome, Porto, and Barcelona) have shared their experience in transport and mobility planning by holding seven topically interrelated workshops. The goal of this publication is not to present all of the project results. It only focuses on the main lessons learned during the seven workshops.
Raziskava se osredotoča na možnost uporabe analize alternativnih prihodnosti in scenarijev pri krajinskem načrtovanju v obdobju podnebnih sprememb, kar bi zagotovilo širši pogled in poglobljeno ...razumevanje tega pristopa ter s tem njegovo boljšo in učinkovitejšo uporabo v prihodnosti. Raziskava vključuje pregled literature in analizo praktičnih projektov, ki so se v zadnjih letih izvajali po svetu. Poleg tega je avtor med marcem in septembrom 2014 opravil elektronsko anketo, v kateri je preučeval vidike uporabe tega pristopa v povezavi z vplivi podnebnih sprememb. Anketiranci so bili izkušeni raziskovalci iz 18 držav, ki so od leta 2000 sodelovali pri vsaj enem praktičnem projektu, povezanem s preučevano temo. Po analizi več kot 40 praktičnih projektov so bili v analizo vključeni tudi rezultati ankete, s čimer je avtor dobil celostno sliko potencialov in omejitev analize alternativnih prihodnosti in scenarijev pri krajinskem načrtovanju s posebnim poudarkom na podnebnih spremembah. Izsledki potrjujejo, da ta metoda spada med najučinkovitejše pristope odločanja, ki se uporabljajo za sprejemanje krajinske politike na območjih, na katerih se pokrajina hitro spreminja pod pritiskom urbanizacije in podnebnih sprememb. Kljub temu obstaja vrzel med napredkom, ki ga ta pristop omogoča na različnih ravneh, in kompleksnostjo vzorcev, negotovosti in pretresov v pokrajini zaradi vplivov podnebnih sprememb v urbanizirajočem svetu. Raziskava kaže, da obravnavani pristop odločevalcem ponuja veliko priložnost, da razširijo svoj pogled in sprejmejo ustrezno krajinsko politiko, še preden z vidika trajnostnega razvoja dosežejo točko, s katere ni več vrnitve. Pri uporabi analize alternativnih prihodnosti in scenarijev za zamišljanje pokrajin, na katere vplivajo podnebne spremembe in urbanizacija, naletimo tudi na določene težave in ovire, ki jih je treba odpraviti. Čeprav je raziskava bolj informativne narave, odpira nova vprašanja o tem pristopu in njegovi uporabi v prihodnosti in daje podlago nadaljnjim raziskavam.
Since their war against the Dutch in 1873, the Acehnese have been known as a people of character in Indonesia: a distinctive and robust sense of communalism has shaped their society and culture. ...Strong family bonds, community ties, and social frameworks have reinforced this communalism. However, this character has eroded under a thirty-year conflict in Aceh, which began in the 1970s under the New Order government. The conflict only ended in Aceh after a tsunami in 2004 struck it. This article analyses how the structural context of Aceh, with its various agents, has influenced Acehnese culture. Changes in the context have promoted a redefinition of community cultural identity and transformed social life. This research has found that structural changes have forced adaptations that have severed ties between generations and disturbed the passing of values. The severing of social bonds in society has been unavoidable, and restoring them has been difficult. This article recommends a need to redefine culture, taking an approach that is more open to the dynamics of power. The construction of values in society has involved diverse agents and, as such, Acehnese culture has not been free of the influences of various power interests.
The volume (‘(Un)adapted’) contains twenty-one chapters dealing with natural disasters. The chapters describe various research findings and examples of the use of modern technologies in cases of ...natural disasters. The volume covers various topics such as earthquakes, floods, avalanches, droughts, GIS support, and web applications.
