Smoking, Implicit Attitudes, and Context-Sensitivity
Authors: Glock Sabine , ten-Cate Ineke M. Pit
Published: December 2018

This chapter focuses on implicit attitudes toward smoking and provides the first systematic review of research in this domain. Implicit attitudes are suggested to guide automatic behavior, thereby playing a pivotal role for automatic processes inherent in addictive behaviors. This chapter further explores the extent to which implicit attitudes are context-sensitive. More specifically, it reviews studies that have focused on the differential effects of external cues such as warning labels and internal cues (e.g., deprivation). Results of 32 studies show that although smokers generally have more positive implicit attitudes than non-smokers, the valence of implicit attitudes varies as a result of the applied method or stimuli. Studies reveal that implicit attitudes toward smoking partly depend on external cues, especially outcome expectancies. Similarly, internal cues affect implicit attitudes whereby the level of nicotine deprivation seems vital. Implications for intervention and future research are indicated in the discussion.

Authors: Kisusu R. W. , Kalimang'asi N. , Macha N. , Mzungu J. L.
Published: December 2018

This case study of Dodoma Municipal Council focuses on the application of statistical tools to establish Population Variables (PVs) affected by alcohol and suggested control measures. The establishment relied on primary data involving a sample size of 156 respondents selected through purposive sampling and analyzed by cross-tabs and Chi-square. The analysis found alcohol policy affects mostly the lower-educated population, small householders and youths, and these were significant at 0.029, 0.002, and 0.006 levels, respectively. The inferences drawn shows within PVs, alcohol reduces students' performances, influences separation of families, and increases poverty in the households, and all were significant at 0.003, 0.028, and 0.003, respectively. The findings conclude that alcohol affects all PVs, which consequently ends up deteriorating welfare. Therefore, to combat alcohol, the chapter recommends usage policy legal measures and educating the masses on the effect of alcohol.
Personality, Internet Addiction, and Other Technological Addictions
Authors: Hussain Zaheer , Pontes Halley M.
Published: December 2018

Research into technological addictions, such as Internet addiction, smartphone addiction and social networking addiction has greatly increased. It is important to understand how technological addictions may be related to different personality types and key individual differences associated to personality. This chapter provides empirical and conceptual insights into how technological addictions may be related to different personality types and key individual differences associated to personality. This chapter focuses on a number of technological addictions and illustrates how research and theory in this area has developed in relation to commonly researched personality traits (e.g., extraversion, introversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and narcissism) and key individual differences related to personality (e.g., personality disorders). The complex nature of personality and technological addictions is discussed together with areas for future research.
Exploring the Relationship Between Sport Fan Identification and Addiction to Digital Sports Media
Authors: Clark John S. , Maher Jill K.
Published: December 2018

Social media has proved to be a constant source of information and entertainment for sport fans. These social media sites allow sport organizations to provide news about the organizations and the athletes that play for them, as well as serving as a means of communication between the organization and fans, or between the fans themselves. Smartphones have enabled this communication to be nearly constant, allowing sport fans to access information around the clock. Anecdotal evidence suggests this on-demand access to information about a fan's favorite team will increase the avidity by which the fan consumes the sport product. In a parallel development, researchers have investigated the detrimental effects devoting too much time to social media has on consumers. This research bridges these lines of inquiry and examines the relationship between social media addiction and highly identified and committed sport fans. Data were collected from college students, and a multiple regression analysis was performed which resulted in no statistically significant relationship between addiction to social media and high levels of sport identification and commitment. The results suggest that for sport organizations, social media is not a one-size-fits-all approach to reaching a segmented (based on identification and commitment) market.

Authors: G. Lakshmana
Published: December 2018

The chapter made an attempt to review the literature and describes various interventions available for street children. The current chapter enlists all the intervention activities carried out for this group. Method of the study followed web based literature review (secondary data) using pubmed, Ebsco, Psyinfo, like on by using key words such as street children, substance abuse, motivation, intervention like on. Totally about 300 studies had been found out which discussed about street children. Among them the reviewers had chosen important studies for review purpose. Studies were discussed under the subthemes of concept of street children, prevalence of street children, reasons for on the street, street life and ways of coping with stress, substance abuse among street children, intervention carried out with street children and substance abuse, suggestions and conclusion. Conclusion: The discussed psychosocial intervention in the chapter are well proven in the general population and effectively tried with street children.
Addressing Addictive Behaviors in the Workplace
Authors: Weiss-Randall Debra N. , Rich Nancy
Published: December 2018

Addictive behaviors pose increasingly serious problems in the workplace. Approximately 70% of the estimated 14.8 million Americans who use illegal drugs are employed. Recent changes in marijuana laws are a cause for concern. Substance abuse in the workplace costs employers an estimated $81 billion a year in workers' compensation, medical costs, absenteeism, lost productivity, and employee turnover. Managers needs to implement drug-free workplace policies and provide a healthy work environment to reduce stress-related drug abuse. EAPs must provide prevention activities that target at-risk employees, and identify users who need treatment. Health insurance should cover addiction treatment. Addiction is a function of not only the individual's behaviors and genetic disposition, but also his or her environmental influences. The workplace is an ideal setting for an addiction prevention program, as employees spend much of their waking lives there. Through strong leadership and provision of employee incentives, companies can make a healthy drug-free workplace a reality.
Police Legitimacy Conflicting Centres
Authors: Chirambwi Kudakwashe
Published: December 2018

The chapter examines police legitimacy in the context of peacetime transition states, South Africa and Zimbabwe in particular, and argue that the complexity of legitimacy cannot be axially viewed as ‘acceptance of the moral authority of a police force and its right to enforce laws and issue commands' (Weitzer, 1995, p. 83) or ‘a belief that induces people to feel personally obligated to defer to authorities' (Tyler, 2006, p. 376). There are unconsidered complexities to police legitimacy that compel attention. The chapter makes three observations: 1) police legitimacy is conferred, often by opposing congress of three factors - the people, state and the international community; 2) the police are always trying to balance opposing factors, or play off one against the other(s); and 3) police service has no total or permanent legitimacy. Based on these assumptions, a compelling question could be whether or not police in transition societies have legroom to exercise discretional powers as they mediate between state and civilian populations.
Tackling Police Brutality Through Non-Violent Strategies in South Africa
Authors: Mkhize Mbekezeli Comfort , Madumi Phathutshedzo P.
Published: December 2018

The chapter examines the non-violent strategies that could be used to tackle police brutality. While the existing literature has focused on why police brutality is taking place, the primary objective of this chapter is to bridge the knowledge-gap with reference to non-violent strategies using three levels (strategic, tactical and operational). The chapter reviews current scholarly arguments. Two theoretical perspectives were employed to dissect variables of police brutality. The chapter argues that although non-violent strategies may appear to be effective in theory, they seem to be ineffectual in practice owing to implementation challenges. The failure of non-violent strategies is attributed to a disjuncture between policy objectives and implementation. The chapter concludes that lack of resources, lack of police transformation and lack of police accountability remain the key hindrances in the fight against police brutality. The chapter also recommends that partnerships need to be strengthened among oversight bodies and regulatory frameworks.
Implementing Integrated Information Systems Project for Police Stations in Thailand
Authors: Charoen Danuvasin
Published: December 2018

In 2012, the Royal Thai Police launched “C.R.I.M.E.S.”-“Criminal Record and Information Management Enterprise Systems” – as the largest-scale information systems project ever to be implemented in the organization. The new system aimed to reduce duplicate work in all 1,400 police stations by digitizing all documents and providing a centralized database whereby information could be shared among all police officers. However, most users were accustomed to working with pen and paper and did not want to learn the new skill needed to interact with C.R.I.M.E.S. Other users, convinced that the purpose of the new system was “catch their mistakes,” were also unenthusiastic. In addition, the information in C.R.I.M.E.S overlapped with other legacy systems, and this overlap created confusion among users because they had to enter the same information into many systems at the same time. Hence, the police had to decide what strategies and measures should be used to ensure the success of C.R.I.M.E.S.
Police Service Crime Mapping as Civic Technology
Authors: Scassa Teresa
Published: December 2018

It is increasingly common for municipal police services in North America to make online crime maps available to the public. This form of civic technology is now so widely used that there is a competitive private sector market for crime mapping platforms. This paper considers the crime maps made available by three Canadian police forces using platforms developed by U.S.-based private sector corporations. The paper considers how these crime maps present particular narratives of crime in the city, evaluates the quality of the mapped data, and explores how laws shape and constrain the use and reuse of crime data. It considers as well the problems that may arise in using off-the-shelf solutions – particularly ones developed in another country. It asks whether this model of crime mapping advances or limits goals of transparency and accountability, and what lessons it offers about the use of private sector civic technologies to serve public sector purposes.
Online Activism and the Arab Public Sphere
Authors: Douai Aziz
Published: December 2018

YouTube has enabled new forms of political dissent in Arab societies. This article examines the development and rise of YouTube in the Arab world. In particular, it looks at how this video exchange site is invigorating the online public sphere's vigorous demand for political reform and respect for human rights. Specifically, this investigation explores how social networking capabilities have made YouTube an effective asset in dissidents' arsenal among Arab activists. To examine the vibrancy of this fledgling online public sphere, the chapter scrutinizes how activists incorporated YouTube videos to shed light on human rights abuses, specifically police abuse, corruption, and brutality in two Arab countries, Egypt and Morocco. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the new campaigning modes that the Internet and YouTube have facilitated.
Law Enforcement Officer Suicide
Authors: Clark Daniel W. , White Elizabeth K.
Published: December 2018

Suicide is a serious public health problem that impacts individuals, families, communities, and law enforcement personnel. More than 42,000 completed suicides were counted in the United States in 2014. Suicide has long been a concern within law enforcement. In this chapter, the authors explore the current status of Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) suicide research and dispel the myth that officer suicides are dramatically higher than in the general population. We then review general information on suicide prevention, and supplement this general information with law enforcement-specific risk factors, warning signs, variables, tips, and recommendations for intervention and postvention. Additionally, we suggest a range of available resources for further consideration.
Career Patterns and Developmental Tasks in Career Development
Authors: Fidan İnci Öztürk
Published: December 2018

Each of the capabilities, connections, confidence, and cognition dimension is a career pattern which allows an individual to adapt to his/her changing work environment, work, and occupation. Career patterns are the tools enabling an individual to adapt to his/her environment during the career construction process. Career stages involving developmental tasks reveal how an individual construct his/her career based on his/her self-concept during a certain stage of the development. The goal of this chapter is to describe career patterns, such as capabilities, connections, confidence, and cognition, and influences of career patterns on each career stage. It is argued in this chapter that the career patterns can enhance entrepreneurship skills of employees and ensure the establishment of intra and inter-organizational connections and give rise to new business partnerships.
An Exploration of Career Adaptation of Teachers
Authors: Koç Mehmet Hilmi
Published: December 2018

This chapter aims to reveal the efforts of teachers working in private and public schools to adapt into their career. It employs phenomenology, one of qualitative research designs. The study group was composed of 20 teachers working in high schools. Maximum variation sampling, which is a type of purposeful sampling, was used in this study. While teachers working in public schools found teaching restricted as a career, those working in private schools thought they had a more dynamic profession. It may be stated that teachers working in public schools and in private schools encounter different types of difficulties and that they have differing strategies to cope with the difficulties. A new career system, in which teachers could specialize in their careers and routines could be avoid, could be introduced in both public and private schools.
Vocational Personalities of School Principals
Authors: Bozak Ahmet , Fidan Tuncer
Published: December 2018

This chapter aims to reveal how school principals construct their careers and how their vocational personalities influence their career construction stories. A phenomenological design was used in this study and data were collected by means of semi-structured in-depth interviews. The study group was formed by maximum variation sampling and snow ball sampling. Nine school principals voluntarily joined the study and narrated their career construction stories. In the study, it was found that school principals started their career by the influence of an administrator, a colleague in their workplace, or their spouses. Majority of the participants started their management career as vice-principals. The changes in work environment increased their management skills and helped them gain experience. It also provides them with dynamism, but changing the workplace every four years brought about negative effects as it was too short to improve a school.
Capnography Monitoring During Procedural Sedation and Analgesia
Authors: Gallagher John J.
Published: December 2018

Procedural sedation is used to alleviate pain and anxiety associated with diagnostic procedures in the acute care setting. Although commonly used, procedural sedation is not without risk. Key to reducing this risk is early identification of risk factors through presedation screening and monitoring during the procedure. Electrocardiogram, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and pulse oximetry commonly are monitored. These parameters do not reliably identify airway and ventilation compromise. Capnography measures exhaled carbon dioxide and provides early identification of airway obstruction and hypoventilation. Capnography is useful in patients receiving supplemental oxygen. In these patients, oxygen desaturation reported by pulse oximetry may lag during episodes of respiratory depression and apnea. Capnography indicates partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide and provides information regarding airway integrity and patterns of ventilation compromise. Implementation of this technology may provide an additional layer of safety, reducing risk of respiratory compromise in patients receiving procedural sedation.
The 50 most cited articles about wrist surgery
Authors: Piolanti Nicola , Poggetti Andrea , Nucci Anna Maria , Nesti Agnese , Marchetti Stefano , Parchi Paolo Domenico , Scaglione Michelangelo
Published: December 2018

The purpose was to establish a ranking of the 50 most cited articles about wrist surgery and analyse their features. Science Citation Index Expanded was used to identify the 50 most frequently cited orthopaedic journal articles written in English, searching for the topic “wrist surgery” in the subject category ‘‘Orthopaedics’’. Then, we analysed the number of citations, citation density, authorship, article institution, the year of publication, the country of origin of the article, name and impact factor of the journal, and publication type of the article. The 50 most cited articles were published in only 6 of the 74 journals included under the category “orthopaedics”. Citation count ranged from 256 for the first one to 67 for the 50th article. Most of them were written by American authors. These articles were published between 1991 and 2011. “Distal Radius Fractures” was the most common issue. This type of bibliographic analysis could be particularly useful for other young Authors who would like to improve their research in wrist and hand surgery and make their publications more citable and appreciated by the scientific community.

FMVSS 105 Inertia Brake Dynamometer Test Procedure for Vehicles Above 4540 kg GVWR
Authors:   Truck and Bus Hydraulic Brake Committee
Published: December 2018

This Recommended Practice is derived from the FMVSS 105 vehicle test and applies to two-axle multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses with a GVWR above 4540 kg (10000 pounds) equipped with hydraulic service brakes. There are two main test sequences: Development Test Sequence for generic test conditions when not all information is available or when an assessment of brake output at different inputs are required, and FMVSS Test Sequence when vehicle parameters for brake pressure as a function of brake pedal input force and vehicle-specific loading and brake distribution are available. The test sequences are derived from the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105 (and 121 for optional sections) as single-ended inertia-dynamometer test procedures when using the appropriate brake hardware and test parameters. This recommended practice provides Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), brake and component manufacturers, as well as aftermarket suppliers, results related to brake output, friction material effectiveness, and corner performance in a laboratory-controlled test environment.

The test sequences include different dynamic conditions (braking speeds, temperature, and braking history as outlined in the FMVSS 105); inertia loads equivalent to the vehicle’s LLVW and GVWR; fully operational, partial failure, and failed system conditions. All applicable sections of the FMVSS 105 are included. Optional sections include: parking brake output, water recovery, TP-121D dynamometer retardation, and 32 km/h (20 mph) stops to simulate Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requirements.

This recommended practice does not evaluate or quantify other brake system characteristics such as wear, noise, judder, ABS performance, or braking under extreme temperatures or speeds. Minimum performance requirements are not part of this recommended practice. Consistency and margin of pass/fail of the minimum requirements related to stopping distance or equivalent deceleration levels of the FMVSS 105 vehicle test can be assessed as part of the project in coordination with the test requestor when using the appropriate vehicle information and vehicle dynamics modeling. Nevertheless, this procedure and its results do not replace the vehicle-level test to demonstrate compliance to FMVSS (105 for hydraulic brake systems, or 121 for air-over-hydraulic brake systems), or other mandatory regulations (like ECE R13 or equivalents).

Auswirkungen der grenzöffnung 1989 zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der Tschechischen republik
Authors: Maier Joerg
Published: December 2018

Članek obravnava spremembe v obsegu in strukturi prekomejnih lokov med Bavarsko in Češko po odprtju desetletja zaprtih meja ob “železni zavesi”. Leta 1989 je mejo prestopilo 2.3 milijona potnikov, v letu 1992 pa jo je prečkalo že preko 35 milijonov Turistične prometne tokove (nakupovalni in izletniški turizem) dopolnjuje tudi že poslovni obiski. Povezovanje med proizvodnimi obrali je poslala ustaljena praksa. Neznanje jezika sosednjega naroda in nepozanavnje njegovih kulturnih navad je pogosto ovira za še inteiivnejše sodelovanje.

Kmetijsko obremenjevanje slovenskega alpskega sveta na izbranem primeru
Authors: Radinja Darko
Published: December 2018

Poročilo obravnava energijsko intenzivnost kmetijstva v dolinskih Ratečah (860m) kot osnovo za presojo obremenjevanja alpskega okolja. Zaradi (sub)urbane preobrazbe kmečkega naselja je agrarno obremenjevanje ostalo sicer zelo zmerno, povečalo pa se je neagrarno. Skupno obremenjevanje okolja še ni pretirano, še največ pa ga je zaradi pomanjkanja komunalne infrastrukture naselja.

Opuščanje pridelave in yarašcanje kmetijskih yemljišc sodi med najbolj vidne pokayatelje delnega raykroja kulturne pokrajine. Alpski svet nedvomno sodi v tisto skupino slovenskih pokrajin, kjer je yarašcanje najbolj intenyivno in obseyno. Tako naravne kot tudi socialne in demografske raymere vplivajo na to,da kmetijstvo v veliki meri stagnira, v pridelovalno najbolj neugodnih obmocjih pa prihaja do ekstenyiviranja, kasneje pa tudi do trajnega opušcanja pridelave.

Obmocja najvecje degradacije kulturne pokrajine so praviloma tudi najbolj iyrayita depopulacijska in deagrariyacijska obmocja v alpskem svetu. Revitaliyacija kmetijskih yemljišc v yarašcanju ni pomembna samo iy proiyvodno strateškega, ampak tudi iy prostorskega in ekološkega vidika.

Vojaškogeografsko vrednotenje območja Julijskih Alp
Authors: Bratun Zvonimir
Published: December 2018

Julijske Alpe so vojaškogeografsko pomembno območje že od svoje poselitve dalje. Prevladujejo vojaškogeografske smeri po dolinah in čez prevale ter obrambne linije po gorskih grebenih. Izrazit pomen so dobile v 19. in 20. stoletju. Tu je potekala največja fronta v visokogorju med prvo svetovno vojno. Njeni ostanki so vidni še danes. Meja med Italijo in Jugoslavijo po razvodju med Sočo in Savo je bila izrazita ločnica, okrepljena z utrdbami, ovirami in jarki v osrčju Julijskih Alp. V času hladne vojne je po zahodnem obrobju Julijskih Alp potekala tudi ideološka ločnica. Vojaški strategi so predvidevali uporabo vojaškogeografskih smeri proti vzhodu in zahodu. Zaradi geopolitičnih sprememb po letu 1991, vojaškogeografske smeri čez Julijske Alpeniso več posebnega pomena za varnost Slovenije. Danes prevladujejo druge vojaške dejavnosti. Izstopa urjenje vojakov, podčastnikov in častnikov Nata v visokogorskih raymerah na območju Pokljuke in Triglavskega pogorja. Vojaški objekti dobivajo tudi turistični pomen.
Pokrajine v Sloveniji
Authors: Čokert Andrej
Published: December 2018

Priprava zakona o pokrajinah izhaja na eni strani iz notranjih, slovenskih potreb, na drugi pa tudi iz teženj po mednarodni primerljivosti. Pomen pokrajin kot druge stopnje lokalne samouprave, vidimo predvsem v možnostih usklajevanja razvojnih problemov in v decentraliyaciji Slovenije. Razvojno stagnirajoča in nazadujoča območja obsegajo že več kot 70% Slovenije. Sredstva, ki jih posamezne regije danes dobivajo neposredno od države, so nezadostna, vsekakor pa pod povprečjem sredstev v državah EU. Analiza demografskih podatkov, zaposlitvene in ekonomske strukture, infrastrukturnega ter izobrazbenega potenciala opozarjajo na velike razlike med posameznimi slovenskimi regijami. Razlog za uvajanje pokrajin leži tudi v različnosti regionalnih problemov npr. v Zasavju, Pomurju, na Gorenjskem ali v Primorju. Odsotnost administrativne razdelitve Slovenije zamegljuje regionalno raznolikost, ki je specifična tudi v primerjavi z drugimi evropskimi državami.Prav tako ne gre poenostavljati ali spregledati akutnih regionalnih problemov, ki jih še povečuje tudi odnos med centralno oblastjo in velikim številom zelo različnih občin.
Karavanke - od ločnice do stičišča Slovencev z obeh strani meje
Authors: Zupančič Jernej
Published: December 2018

Prispevek obravnava družbenopolitični razvoj območja Karavank, kjer so se v zgodovini menjavala ločevalna in povezovalna obdobja, še posebej za Slovence, živeče na obeh straneh meje. Potem ko je območje v 19. stoletju postalo stičišče, ga je nova meja po prvi svetovni vojni postavila v vlogo ločnice. Ločitev nikoli ni bila popolna in prav potrebe krajevnega prebivalstva so narekovale vedno večje odpiranje meje in oblikovanje čezmejnih tokov. Karavanke so ponovno postale stičišče Slovencev z obeh strani meje ter prehodna pokrajina za mednarodne tokove.

Geografska problematika obmejnega naselja Dvori pri Movražu
Authors: Brečko Grubar Valentina
Published: December 2018

Naselje Dvori leži v neposredni bližini slovensko-hrvaške meje, nad mejnim prehodom Sočerga in hrvaškim naseljem Mlini. Bližnje oskrbno naselje je 12 km oddaljeno Gračišče, kjer so osnovna šola, ambulanta, krajevni urad, pošta, bencinski servis, dve trgovini in gostilna. Cestna povezava poteka od Gračišča skozi naselji Smokvica in Movraž, nekdanja povezava z Mlini je zaradi državne meje prekinjena, do železniške postaje Rakitovec (železniški mejni prehod na progi proti Puli) pa vodi strma makedamska cesta. Od Kopra so Dvori oddaljeni več kot 20 km, zato so bili v preteklosti bolj povezani z bližjim Buzetom. Razmere so se v marsičem spremenile, kar pa ni le posledica nastanka meje, ampak predvsem socialnih sprememb. Nekdaj je bilo kmetijstvo, kljub manj ugodnim pogojem, glavni vir dohodka prebivalcev, danes pa obsežne pašne površine in senožeti prerašča gospodarsko nepomemben gozd. Za naselje je poleg stalnega upadanja števila prebivalcev značilna tudi prevlada ostarelih gospodinjstev, ki so brez naslednikov. Nastanek državne meje in s tem obmejna lega za življenje prebivalcev nista imela večjih negativnih posledic. Prekomejno lastništvo se tu pojavlja v zelo majhnem obsegu in zadeva le hrvaške prebivalce, zaposlovanje na hrvaški strani meje je bilo izjema že pred letom 1991, sorodstvene vezi pa so se kljub nastanku meje ohranile.

Procesi deagrarizacije in urbanizacije slovenskega podeželja
Authors: Klemenčič Vladimir
Published: December 2018

V prispevku so osvetljeni elementi procesa diferenciacije slovenskega podeželja, ki se je v štirih desetletjih pod vplivom industrializacije in konceptom policentričnega regionalnega razvoja diferenciralo na območja urbanizacije, prehodna območja in območja depopulacije. To diferenciacijo je spremljala rast deleža v industriji zaposlenega prebivalstva in posledično hiter upad deleža kmečkega prebivalstva. Upadanje deleža in števila kmečkega prebivalstva pa je odprlo številne nove probleme (opuščanje obdelave zemlje, ozelenjevanje, ogozdovanje), kar povzroča velike težave pri vzdrževanju kulturne pokrajine, zlasti na območjih depopulacije.
Geomorfološke značilnosti Tržaškega zaliva in obrobja
Authors: Orožen Adamič Milan
Published: December 2018

Tržaški zaliv je plitvo robno morje, skrajni severni del Jadrana, ki je s treh strani omejen s kopnim. Ker je v njem razmeroma malo vode, manj kot v kakšnem velikem jezeru je izjemno občutljiv na ekološke spremembe. Geomorfološka dejstva nas opozarjajo na to, da so možnosti rabe zelo omejene. V prihodnje bo potrebno zelo skrbno, pretehtano in uravnoteženo ravnanje z naravnimi danostmi. Danes se zdi, da se ob umanjkanju dolgoročne razvojne vizije tega ne zavedamo dovolj.
Preobrazba podeželja ob slovensko-hrvaški meji
Authors: Koščak Marko
Published: December 2018

Podeželje na območju ob slovensko hrvaški meji se preobraža. Na preobrazbo vplivala vrsta dejavnikov, med katerimi je gotovo igral najpomembnejšo vlogo policentrično zasnovan koncept socialno-ekonomskega in z njim povezanega prostorskega razvoja. V prostoru ob slovensko hrvaški meji so se razmere še posebej spremenile po določitvi nove državne meje s Hrvaško, ko je bil razvoj teh območij postavljen v novo razvojno perspektivo, ki je zaradi hitrih sprememb, na katere vplivajo tudi upravno-politične, zakonodajne in ostale razmere tako v naši državi Sloveniji, kot tudi na Hrvaškem in v Evropi nasploh, pravzaprav v stalni preobrazbi in spreminjanju ter dopolnjevanju.
Aplikativna socialna geografija: upravljanje prostorskega planiranja in raziskovalne perspektive na področju "teorije prakse"
Authors: Hilpert Markus
Published: December 2018

Zakaj se srečujemo s težavami pri planiranju prostorske transformacije? Ali so projekti prostorskega razvoja enkratni ali pa predstavljajo nek vzorec, ki se redno ponavlja? Ali je možno te principe posplošiti v neko "teorijo prakse", ki bi lahko prispevala k boljšemu izvajanju strategij prostorskega razvoja?
Geoinformatika in aplikativna geografija v Sloveniji
Authors: Krevs Marko
Published: December 2018

Uporaba geoinformatike v slovenski aplikativni geografiji narašča. Vendar so geoinformacijske možnosti razmeroma skromno izkoriščene. Ocenjeni so glavni vzroki za takšno stanje ter predlagane nekatere spremembe na pedagoškem, znanstveno-raziskovalnem in aplikativno geografskem področju, ki bi pripomogle k uspešnejši rabi geoinformatike v aplikativni geografiji.
Prisotnost geografov in pomen geografije v inštitucijah regionalnega planiranja
Authors: Kušar Simon
Published: December 2018

Po sprejetju Zakona o spodbujanju skladnega regionalnega razvoja leta 1999 so se začele oblikovati inštitucije, ki skrbijo za skladen regionalni razvoj. Kakšno vlogo imajo v njih geografi, smo poskušali ugotoviti s pomočjo ankete. Iz podatkov o številu geografov, ki v njih delujejo, možnostih novih zaposlitev ter zbranih prednosti in slabosti geografov, lahko sklepamo na aplikativno vrednost geografije v regionalnem planiranju v Sloveniji danes.
Pomen študij ranljivosti okolja za sonaravni razvoj Slovenije
Authors: Špes Metka
Published: December 2018

Študija ranljivosti okolja temelji na oceni nosilnosti oziroma regeneracijski sposobnosti proučevanega okolja in njegovih pokrajinotvornih sestavin, upoštevane pa so tudi spremembe, ki jih z dosedanjimi posegi v okolje vnesel človek s svojimi raznovrstnimi dejavnostmi. Strokovno vrednotenje vseh kazalcev se združuje na optimalno homogenih pokrajinskih enotah in s tem predstavlja dobro podlago za načrtovanje sonaravnega razvoja.

Ogroženost zaradi naravnih procesov kot strukturni element slovenskih pokrajin
Authors: Natek Karel
Published: December 2018

Preučevanje naravnih nesreč je v zadnjih desetletjih eden najpomembnejših vidikov aplikacije fizične geografije v Sloveniji. Ogroženost zaradi tovrstnih naravnih dogodkov je namreč na različne načine prisotna v vsaki kulturni pokrajini, in sicer kot njihovi neposredni učinki in konkretni načini varovanja pred njimi, kot izogibanje ogroženim območjem in tudi kot napačni posegi v prostor. Vse to so pomembne geografske teme, s katerimi se bo morala geografija v prihodnje še intenzivneje ukvarjati, poleg tega pa bo potrebno upoštevati tudi subjektivno zaznavanje ogroženosti zaradi naravnih nesreč kot pomembno izhodišče nadaljnjih posegov v ogrožena območja, na katerih delujejo potencialno škodljivi ali nevarni naravni procesi.

Opredelitev dnevne migracije v občini Ravne na Koroškem s posebnim ozirom na možnosti celične proizvodnje
Authors: Gosar Anton
Published: December 2018

Celično proizvodnjo predvidevamo za demografsko ustrezna območja. Kandidati za Železarni ustrezno celično proizvodnjo so predvsem naslednje tri socialnodemografske kategorije: nezaposleni (iz socialnih razlogov), delavci na začasnem delu v tujini (zaradi možnosti naložbe kapitala) in predvsem v Železarni zaposleni dnevni migranti. Napor, izdatki in poraba časa za potovanje na delo govorijo v prid približevanju delovnega mesta bivališču. Nameravana celična proizvodnja Železarne Ravne daje dnevnim migrantom možnosti delati v dislociranih obratih z isto tehnologijo kot v Železarni. Dnevno migracijo na Koroškem želimo v tej fazi proučevanja opredeliti po naslednjih kazalcih:  število vseh dnevnih migrantov Železarne v koroški regiji in prepletenost dnevne migracije v Železarno z migracijami v druge obrate in ustanove v občini Ravne.
Prometnogeografski položaj krajev v KS Črna
Authors: Černe Andrej
Published: December 2018

Prometnogeografski položaj krajev - naselij, vasi in posameznih kmetij smo določili na osnovi analize tipologije cestnega omrežja v KS Črna. Namen opredeljevanja prometnega položaja krajev je bil v vrednotenju relativne lokacije krajev z vidika njihove medsebojne prometne povezanosti in prometne dostopnosti. Vrednotenje lokacij posameznih krajev s prometnogeografskega vidika pa je ena izmed osnov za določevanje najprimernejše lokacije proizvodnih celic v KS Črna.
Geografske značilnosti gozdne vegetacije v KS Črna
Authors: Lovrenčak Franc
Published: December 2018

Gozd porašča večji del ozemlja krajevne skupnosti Črna. V gospodarstvu tega predela je imel in še ima pomembno vlogo. Marsikomu, ki se še ukvarja s kmetijstvom, daje prodaja lesa pretežni del dohodka. Vendar se v zadnjem času izraziteje kažejo negativne posledice onesnaženega zraka. Žveplov dioksid vpliva na sušenje drevesnih vrst. Prizadetost gozdnega drevja, prej omejena na ožje območje terjava, se je močno razširila po zgornji Mežiški dolini. Poškodbe na drevju se kažejo že severno od Mežice in na jugu od Žerjava v širši okolici Črne. Gozd je treba obravnavati v okviru vsega gospodarstva, saj gre tu za območje ob državni meji in je potrebno pojave opuščanja obdelovanja zemlje in zaraščanja kulturne pokrajine ustrezno upoštevati.
Kraške oblike kot geomorfološke naravne vrednote
Authors: Panizza Mario
Published: December 2018

Članek predstavlja metodologijo za določanje kvantitavne vrednosti reliefnih oblik kot sestavnega dela geomorfološke naravne dediščine, vključno z njihovim vrednotenjem v okviru presoj vplivov posegov na okolje. Znanstveno vrednost lokalitete (scientific quality, Q) lahko določimo z ugotavljanjem njenega znanstvenega, kulturnega, družbeno-ekonomskega in krajinskega pomena, vrednosti teh parametrov pa ponderiramo glede na položaj in pomen lokalitete v preučevanem območju.
Razumevanje okoljskih problemov na dinarskem krasu
Authors: Nicod Jean
Published: December 2018

Na glavnih območjih dinarskega krasa, na Krasu, jadranskih otokih in nizkih ravnikih ob dalmatinski obali prevladujeta tipično sredozemska raba tal, ki povzroča tudi spreminjanje površja, npr. krčenje gozda in urejanje kraškega površja za kmetijstvo, gradnja suhih zidov in terasiranih pobočjih ter pridobivanje kmetijskih zemljišč v dnu vrtač, uval in dolcev. Avtor v prispevku primerja kraško površje na Krasu in v Dalmaciji z drugimi kraškimi pokrajinami (Provansa, Causses in Puglia). Primerjave nam omogočajo boljši vpogled v značilnosti in funkcioniranje dinarskega krasa, predvsem razvoj kraške pokrajine, rast škrapljišč ter geomorfološke in hidrološke spremembe v kraških poljih.
Novejše smeri v krasoslovnih raziskavah
Authors: Kranjc Andrej
Published: December 2018

Krasoslovje je integralni sistem znanosti o krasu, močno podobno fizični geografiji. Med vodilnimi krasoslovci je vrsta geografov, tudi na Slovenskem, npr. prof. Gams. Na podlagi bibliografije je mogoče izdvojiti nekaj novejših smeri v krasoslovnih raziskavah: nastanek in razvoj krasa, speleogeneza, vloga mikrobiologije, luminiscenca, klastični sedimenti, minerali, nastanek in razvoj kapnikov, merjenje odlaganja sige, kemizem kapnikov, absolutna datacija sedimentov. Hidrološke raziskave so smer, ki jo bo treba obdržati in okrepiti. Regionalno gledano je odkrivanj" manj, čeprav se krasoslovci podajajo v najbolj oddaljene dele sveta. Med objavljenimi deli narašča število iz drugih delov sveta in so "klasična" kraška ozemlja zapostavljena. Sinteza in sintetični prispevki so tista dejavnost, ki bi se je geografi lahko v večji meri lotili in kar jim (naj) zagotavlja tudi njihova osnovna izobrazba."

Morfogeneza slepe doline Brdanska dana
Authors: Kozamernik Erika
Published: December 2018

Slepa dolina Brdanska dana se nahaja na južnem robu Brkinov, kjer se ti stikajo s kraškim ravnikom Matarskega podolja. Na preučevanem območju se prepletajo značilnosti fluvialnega ter kraškega geomorfnega sistema, kar se kaže v veliki pestrosti reliefnih oblik in procesov. V okviru te raziskave je bila opravljena geomorfološka analiza preučevanega območja. Na podlagi morfografskih, morfometričnih in granulometričnih podatkov smo preučili glavne geomorfološke značilnosti, funkcijo in razvoj te slepe doline.
