Organization of football preparations
Get PDFDiplomsko delo raziskuje organizacijo nogometnih priprav v manjših amaterskih klubih, kjer so finančni, kadrovski in infrastrukturni viri pogosto omejeni. Glavni namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako lahko klubi tudi v takšnih pogojih uspešno izvedejo priprave, ki prispevajo k razvoju posameznih igralcev in ekipe kot celote. Študija primera je potekala v Nogometnem klubu Črnuče, ki po svoji strukturi in delovanju odraža tipične izzive slovenskega amaterskega nogometa.
V raziskavi so bili povezani teoretični okviri iz športnega managementa, projektnega načrtovanja in ekipne dinamike z empiričnimi podatki, pridobljenimi z anketami in analizo na terenu. Anketirani so bili štirje ključni členi znotraj kluba: igralci, trenerji, starši in člani strokovnega štaba, kar je omogočilo celovit vpogled v organizacijo in kakovost priprav. Poleg tega so bile vključene tudi osnovne fizične meritve – kot so testi vzdržljivosti in hitrosti – s katerimi smo ocenili športni vidik priprav. Uporabljeni so bili tudi ključni kazalniki uspešnosti (KPI), ki so omogočili spremljanje tako fizične pripravljenosti kot tudi organizacijske učinkovitosti in zadovoljstva deležnikov.
Ugotovitve so pokazale, da so najpogostejši izzivi povezani z neformalno razdelitvijo nalog, logističnimi omejitvami in pomanjkanjem sistematičnega spremljanja ali digitalne podpore. Na podlagi zbranih podatkov je bil oblikovan praktičen model, ki ponuja jasne smernice za izboljšanje organizacije priprav v okoljih z omejenimi viri. Delo dokazuje, da organizacija priprav ni le tehničen ali logističen izziv, temveč ključna priložnost za ustvarjanje okolja, v katerem se mladi športniki počutijo varno, motivirano in povezano z nogometom. Predvsem pa pokaže, da so tudi brez idealnih pogojev možni dobri rezultati – če obstajajo predanost, sodelovanje in skupna vizija.This thesis explores the organization of football training camps in small amateur clubs, where financial, personnel, and infrastructural resources are often limited. The main aim of the research was to examine how such clubs can still carry out effective preparations that contribute to the development of both individual players and the team as a whole. The case study was conducted at NK Črnuče, a club that reflects the typical structure and challenges of Slovenian amateur football.
The study combines theoretical frameworks from sports management, project-based planning, and team dynamics with empirical data collected through surveys and field analysis. Surveys were conducted among four key groups within the club: players, coaches, parents, and members of the coaching staff. This provided a comprehensive perspective on the quality and organization of the training process. In addition, basic physical performance measurements—such as endurance and speed tests—were included to evaluate the athletic effectiveness of the training camp. Key performance indicators (KPIs) were used to assess not only physical readiness but also organizational efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction.
The findings highlighted several recurring challenges, including informal role distribution, logistical limitations, and a lack of systematic evaluation or digital support. Based on the analysis, a practical and transferable model was developed, offering clear guidelines for improving the organization of training camps in resource-constrained environments. The thesis demonstrates that organizing training is not just a technical or logistical task but a key opportunity to create an environment where young athletes feel safe, motivated, and connected to the sport. Above all, it shows that meaningful results can be achieved even without ideal conditions—if there is dedication, cooperation, and a shared vision
Transgender people as victims of trafficking in human beings
Get PDFObstoj različnih spolnih identitet, med katere spada transspolnost, predstavlja nov izziv v današnji družbi tudi na področju varnosti. V magistrskem delu predstavljamo transspolne osebe kot žrtve trgovine z ljudmi. Žrtev trgovine z ljudmi je lahko kdor koli, ne glede na raso, spol, vero in ne glede na spolno usmerjenost in spolno identiteto. Obstajajo določene ranljivosti, ki povečajo možnost postati žrtev trgovine z ljudmi. Sem vključujemo: revščino, brezdomstvo, odvisnost od substanc, problematične družine, že obstoječe duševne motnje in t. i. spolni odnosi za preživetje (ang. survival sex). Storilci trgovine z ljudmi izkoriščajo omenjene ranljivosti s prevaro in manipulacijo. Največja omejitev našega dela je pomanjkanje strokovne literature na temo transspolnih oseb kot žrtev trgovine z ljudmi. Analizirali smo delo nevladnih organizacij Slovenije, Španije in Italije, ki pomagajo žrtvam trgovine z ljudmi. Omejitev je bila neodzivnost španskih nevladnih organizacij za izvedbo intervjuja, ki nam ni omogočila poglobljenega razumevanja pojava, kot pa je bilo mogoče za Slovenijo in Italijo. Ugotovili smo, da so žrtve predvsem ženske, ki so žrtve spolnega izkoriščanja. Moški so žrtve predvsem delovnega izkoriščanja, otroci pa prisilnih porok. Ugotovili smo, da so analizirane nevladne organizacije imele vsaj en primer transspolne osebe žrtve trgovine z ljudmi. V večini primerov je šlo za transspolne ženske, žrtve prostitucije in spolnega izkoriščanja. Ugotovili smo, da analizirane nevladne organizacije nimajo zadostnih finančnih sredstev in da je potrebno izvajati programe izobraževanja in ozaveščanja strokovne in širše javnosti. Ugotovili smo, da potrebujejo žrtve trgovine z ljudmi različne oblike pomoči (zdravstveno, psihološko, finančno, pravno) in teh ne morejo nevladne organizacije same zagotoviti. Zaradi tega trgovina z ljudmi zahteva medinstitucionalno in mednarodno sodelovanje akterjev, ki se borijo proti njej.The recognition of different gender identities, including transgenderism, poses a new challenge to today\u27s society, including in the security sector. In this master\u27s thesis, we explore the issue of transgender people being victims of human trafficking. Anyone can be a victim of human trafficking, regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. However, there are certain vulnerabilities that can increase the likelihood of becoming a victim. These include poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, problematic family circumstances, pre-existing mental health conditions and so-called survival sex. Human traffickers exploit these vulnerabilities through deception and manipulation. The biggest limitation of our work is the lack of professional literature on transgender people as victims of human trafficking. We analysed the work of non-governmental organisations in Slovenia, Spain, and Italy that support victims of human trafficking. However, the unresponsiveness of Spanish NGOs prevented us from conducting interviews and gaining an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon, as was possible in Slovenia and Italy. We found that most of the victims were women who were victims of sexual exploitation. Men are primarily victims of labour exploitation, while children are primarily victims of forced marriage. Of the analysed non-governmental organisations, at least one had a case involving a transgender person who was a victim of human trafficking. In most cases, these were transgender women who were victims of prostitution and sexual exploitation. Our research revealed that the analysed non-governmental organisations lack sufficient financial resources, highlighting the need for education and awareness programmes for professionals and the general public. Victims of human trafficking require various forms of assistance, including medical, psychological, financial and legal support, which non-governmental organisations cannot provide alone. For this reason, combatting human trafficking requires inter-institutional and international cooperation
Treatment of sex offenders in prisions
Get PDFSpolni prestopniki predstavljajo heterogeno skupino oseb, ki jih je mogoče razvrstiti po načinu storitve kaznivega dejanja, motivaciji, vrsti žrtve ali psiholoških značilnostih. Med najpogostejše oblike spadajo pedofilija, incest, zoofilija, posilstvo in parafilične motnje. Spolni prestopniki se razlikujejo tudi po motivu za izvršitev kaznivega dejanja, kot so moč, nadzor ali maščevanje. V diplomski nalogi smo se osredotočili na pregled obravnave spolnih prestopnikov v zaporih. Naredili smo analizo njihove tipologije, terapevtskih pristopov in dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na zmanjšanje povratništva. Izhajajoč iz pregleda literature smo primerjali učinkovitost tretmajskih programov. Dejavniki, kot so motivacija spolnega prestopnika za sodelovanje v terapevtskih programih, kakovost terapevtskega odnosa ter trajanje in intenzivnost programa, imajo pozitiven vpliv na rehabilitacijo prestopnikov. Kot najuspešnejše tretmajske programe za obravnavo spolnih prestopnikov smo identificirali kognitivno-vedenjsko terapijo, še bolj je učinkovita v kombinaciji z modelom tveganje-potreba-odzivnost, farmakološkim zdravljenjem in terapevtskim programom. Tretmajski programi, ki so prilagojeni in strokovno vodeni, so ključni za zmanjšanje povratništva med spolnimi prestopniki.Sex offenders represent a heterogeneous group of individuals who can be classified according to the manner of committing the crime, motivation, type of victim or psychological characteristics. The most common forms include pedophilia, incest, bestiality, rape and paraphilic disorders. Sex offenders also differ in their motive for committing the crime, such as power, control or revenge. In the final thesis, we focused on reviewing the treatment of sex offenders in prisons. We analysed their typology, therapeutic approaches and factors that influence the reduction of recidivism. Based on a literature review, we compared the effectiveness of treatment programs. Factors such as the sex offender\u27s motivation to participate in therapeutic programs, the quality of the therapeutic relationship, and the duration and intensity of the program have a positive impact on the rehabilitation of offenders. We have identified cognitive-behavioural therapy as the most successful treatment program for sex offenders, and it is even more effective when combined with the model Risk Need-Responsivity, pharmacological treatment, and therapeutic programs. Treatment programs that are tailored and professionally led are key to reducing recidivism among sex offenders.

Organizational and cultural changes as a result of banking merger - the example of bank x
Get PDFOrganizacijske in kulturne spremembe so eden ključnih izzivov pri združevanju podjetij, zlasti v reguliranem in občutljivem okolju, kot je bančni sektor. V okviru tega magistrskega dela obravnavamo vpliv združevanja na organizacijsko strukturo in kulturo banke. Združitve pogosto zahtevajo reorganizacijo, spremembe v hierarhiji, racionalizacijo kadrov ter odločanje o ustrezni ravni centralizacije ali decentralizacije. Ob tem prihaja tudi do soočanja različnih organizacijskih kultur, kar lahko povzroči neskladja v vrednotah, načinu komuniciranja, vodenju in odločanju. Uspešna integracija tako ni odvisna le od strukturnih ukrepov, temveč tudi od učinkovitega usklajevanja organizacijskih kultur, vodenja sprememb in komunikacije z zaposlenimi. V empiričnem delu magistrskega dela bomo izvedli anketo med zaposlenimi v Banki X pred in po integraciji, da bi ugotovili, kako so zaznali organizacijske in kulturne spremembe ter kako so te vplivale na njihovo delo in zadovoljstvo. S tem želimo preveriti tudi izbrane hipoteze ter izpostaviti dejavnike, ki prispevajo k uspešni integraciji. Cilj naloge je celovito prikazati teoretične vidike organizacijskih in kulturnih sprememb ter jih povezati s konkretnim primerom iz bančne prakse, s poudarkom na izzivih in priložnostih, ki jih prinaša združevanje bank.Organizational and cultural changes are among the key challenges in company mergers, especially in a regulated and sensitive environment such as the banking sector. This master’s thesis examines the impact of mergers on the organizational structure and culture of a bank. Mergers often require reorganization, changes in hierarchy, workforce rationalization, and decisions regarding the appropriate level of centralization or decentralization. At the same time, different organizational cultures come into contact, which can lead to discrepancies in values, communication styles, leadership approaches, and decision-making processes. Successful integration therefore depends not only on structural measures but also on effective alignment of organizational cultures, change management, and communication with employees. In the empirical part of the thesis, a survey will be conducted among employees of Bank X before and after the integration in order to determine how they perceived organizational and cultural changes and how these changes affected their work and job satisfaction. This will also serve to test the selected hypotheses and highlight the factors contributing to successful integration. The aim of the thesis is to provide a comprehensive presentation of the theoretical aspects of organizational and cultural changes and to link them to a concrete case from banking practice, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities brought by bank mergers
The role of physical activity on the mental health of teachers
Get PDFMagistrsko delo se osredotoča na raziskovanje povezave med telesno dejavnostjo in duševnim zdravjem učiteljev, ki predstavljajo eno izmed najbolj obremenjenih poklicnih skupin. V teoretičnem delu je predstavljena širša opredelitev pojmov telesne dejavnosti, duševnega zdravja ter dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na psihosocialno počutje posameznika, s posebnim poudarkom na učiteljih kot specifični populaciji. V empiričnem delu je bila uporabljena kvalitativna raziskovalna metoda intervju s šestimi učitelji osnovnih in srednjih šol, različnih starosti, delovnih okolij in osebnih življenjskih slogov. Cilj raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali učitelji, ki več časa namenjajo telesni dejavnosti, poročajo o boljšem duševnem zdravju, nižjem stresu, višji samopodobi in večji motivaciji za delo. Poseben poudarek je bil namenjen tudi vprašanju, kako telesna dejavnost vpliva na učiteljevo poklicno učinkovitost in dolgoročno vzdržnost pri opravljanju pedagoškega poklica. Analiza intervjujev razkriva, da telesna dejavnost pomembno prispeva k večji odpornosti na stresne situacije, boljšemu obvladovanju čustvenih obremenitev ter k splošnemu občutku zadovoljstva v osebnem in poklicnem življenju. Ugotovitve raziskave potrjujejo, da je telesna dejavnost ključni varovalni dejavnik, ki pomembno prispeva k psihosocialnemu blagostanju učiteljev. Ima pa tudi širše implikacije: lahko služi kot podlaga za oblikovanje različnih podpornih programov za učitelje, kot so promocija zdravja na delovnem mestu, organizirane športne aktivnosti ali programi za obvladovanje stresa. Prav tako nakazuje potrebo po sistemskih ukrepih v izobraževalnih ustanovah, ki bi spodbujali telesno dejavnost zaposlenih kot del strategij za krepitev duševnega zdravja, preprečevanje izgorelosti ter povečanje poklicne učinkovitosti.The master\u27s thesis focuses on exploring the relationship between physical activity and the mental health of teachers, who represent one of the most burdened professional groups. The theoretical part provides a broader conceptual framework of physical activity, mental health, and the factors influencing individuals’ psychosocial well-being, with a special emphasis on teachers as a specific population.
In the empirical part, a qualitative research method was applied through interviews with six primary and secondary school teachers of different ages, working environments, and personal lifestyles. The aim of the study was to determine whether teachers who dedicate more time to physical activity report better mental health, lower stress levels, higher self-esteem, and greater work motivation. Particular attention was also given to the question of how physical activity affects teachers\u27 professional performance and long-term sustainability in carrying out their pedagogical role.
The analysis of the interviews reveals that physical activity significantly contributed to greater resilience to stressful situations, improved management of emotional burdens, and an overall sense of satisfaction in both personal and professional life. The findings confirm that physical activity is a key protective factor that substantially contributes to the psychosocial well-being of teachers.
Moreover, the study has broader implications: it may serve as a basis for the development of various support programs for teachers, such as workplace health promotion initiatives, organized sports activities, or stress management programs. It also highlights the need for systemic measures within educational institutions to encourage employees\u27 physical activity as part of strategies for strengthening mental health, preventing burnout, and enhancing professional efficiency
Learning about microorganisms in the preschool period
Get PDFV diplomskem delu smo teoretično predstavili naravoslovno izkustveno učenje otrok v vrtcu, predvsem na temo mikroorganizmov, analizirali otroško literaturo na to temo, proučili percepcijo otrok o mikroorganizmih ter predstavili nekaj primerov dobre prakse. V praktični del smo za 15 otrok drugega starostnega obdobja iz Vrtca Borisa Pečeta Maribor - Enota Bresternica zasnovali projekt "Spoznaj mikrobe!". V nalogi smo opisali priprave in izvedbo dejavnosti. V empiričnem delu smo analizirali in interpretirali dejavnosti s pomočjo strukturiranih intervjujev pred in po dejavnosti. Izvajanje projektov na temo mikroorganizmov je izboljšalo znanje otrok o mikroorganizmih in zavedanje o načinih za preprečevanje širjenja bolezni. Dejavnosti niso povzročile dodatnega strahu pred mikroorganizmi.In the diploma thesis, we theoretically presented children\u27s experiential learning in science in kindergarten, especially on the topic of microorganisms, we analyzed children\u27s literature on this topic, examined children\u27s perceptions of microorganisms, and presented some examples of good practice. For the practical part, we designed the project "Learn about microbes!" for 15 children of the second age group from the Boris Pečet Kindergarten Maribor - Bresternica Unit. In the diploma thesis, we described the preparation and implementation of the activity. In the empirical part, we analyzed and interpreted the activities using structured interviews before and after the activity. Implementing projects on the topic of microorganisms improved children\u27s knowledge about microbes and awareness of ways to prevent the spread of disease. The activities did not cause additional fear of microorganisms
