The importance of zinc in brain function and child development – a narrative review
Get PDFUvod: Cink je drugi najzastupljeniji esencijalni metal u organizmu i jedini koji je prisutan u svim klasama enzima. Cink se resorbuje u tankom crevu. Nema depoa cinka u organizmu. On se izlučuje putem bubrega, kože i creva. Hrana životinjskog porekla ima manje cinka ali nema fitata pa je dobar izvor cinka.
Cilj: Cilj rada je da se pregledom relevantne literature izdvoje istraživanja koja potvrđuju značaj cinka u radu mozga i razvoju dece.
Metod: Izvršeno je pretraživanje baze podataka Pub Med korišćenjem ključnih reči cink, mozak, kognicija, deca.
Rezultati: Cink je neophodan za funkcionisanje centralnog nervnog sistema, učestvuje u neurotransmisiji, posebno u hipokampusu gde reguliše glutamate i gamaaminobuternu kiselinu koji su najzastupljeniji neurotransmiteri u mozgu. Ovim se omogućuju normalne kognitivne funkcije. Osim u prenosu informacija, cink u mozgu omogućava i metabolizam DNK, rast moždanog tubulina i fosforilaciju. Cink stabilizuje ćelijske membrane i druge ćelijske komponente i bitan je za transkripciju polinukleotida u procesu genetske ekspresije. Cink omogućava deobu, rast i diferencijaciju ćelija, što je bitno za intrauterini razvoj ploda, stimuliše rast i razvoj organizma, a važan je i za čulo ukusa i mirisa. Cink je kritičan za rast i razvoj mozga, u sintezi DNK, RNK i proteina, pa nedostatak cinka u intrauterinom period može da dovede do malformacija mozga, a kod dece do sporijeg i slabijeg razvoja. Smatra se da kao posledica nedostatka cinka u svetu godišnje umre oko 800,000 dece. Manjak cinka dovodi do usporenja rasta i razvoja kod dece, usporenja seksualnog razvoja, gubitka apetita, poremećaja imuniteta, dijareje, muškog hipogonadizma, infertiliteta i oštećenja oka.
Zaključak: Cink je ključan mikronutrijent za rad neurona i veoma je bitan u normalnom razvoju dece. Balans cinka je neophodno postići tokom celog života čoveka kako bi se omogućio normalan razvoj i kognicija.Introduction: Zinc is the second most abundant essential metal in the body and the only one present in all classes of enzymes. Zinc is absorbed in the small intestine. There is no zinc depot in the body. It is excreted through the kidneys, skin and intestines. Foods of animal origin have less zinc but no phytate so they are a good source of zinc.
Aim: The aim of this paper is to examine the importance of zinc in brain function and child development.
Method: The Pub Med database was searched using the keywords zinc, brain, cognition, children.
Results: Zinc is necessary for the functioning of the central nervous system, it participates in neurotransmission, especially in the hippocampus, where it regulates glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid, which are the most common neurotransmitters in the brain. This allows for normal cognitive functions. In addition to transmitting information, zinc in the brain also enables DNA metabolism, brain tubulin growth and phosphorylation. Zinc stabilizes cell membranes and other cell components and is essential for the transcription of polynucleotides in the process of genetic expression. Zinc balance disorder occurs in Alzheimer’s disease, depression, etc. Zinc enables cell division, growth and differentiation, which is important for the intrauterine development of the fetus, stimulates the growth and development of the organism, and is also important for the sense of taste and smell. Zinc is critical for the growth and development of the brain, in the synthesis of DNA, RNA and proteins, so the lack of zinc in the intrauterine period can lead to brain malformations, and in children to slower and weaker development. It is estimated that around 800,000 children die each year as a result of zinc deficiency in the world. Zinc deficiency leads to growth retardation and development in children, slowing of sexual development, loss of appetite, immune disorders, diarrhea, male hypogonadism, infertility and eye damage.
Conclusion: Zinc is a key micronutrient for the work of neurons and is very important in the normal development of children. Zinc balance is necessary to be achieved throughout a person’s life in order to enable normal development and cognition
Semantic processing in early stage of dementia
Get PDFUvod: Teškoće u pronalaženju reči su dominantan simptom rane faze demencije. Veći deo istraživačkog korpusa leksičko-semantičkih deficita kod osoba sa demencijom bio je usmeren ka istraživanju teškoća u evociranju leksičkih jedinica tokom spontanog govora i na testovima imenovanja. Međutim, značajno je manji broj studija u okviru ove populacije koje su se bavile istraživanjem semantičkog procesiranja.
Cilj: Cilj našeg rada je bio da se ispita semantičko procesiranje kod osoba sa dijagnozom demencije blagog do umerenog stepena (skorovi 12-24 na Mini mental testu).
Metod: Uzorak je činilo 47 ispitanika podeljenih u dve grupe, eksperimentalnu i kontrolnu. Eksperimentalnu grupu je činilo 19 ispitanika sa demencijom, dok je kontrolnu grupu činilo 28 ispitanika bez istorije kognitivnih oštećenja i moždanog udara. Grupe su međusobno bile usklađene prema starosti (F=3,638; p>0,05). U svrhu procene semantičkog procesiranja primenjen je suptest semantičkih asocijacija Sidnejske jezičke baterije (Sydney Language Battery).
Rezultati: Rezultati su ukazali na značajne razlike imeđu dve grupe ispitanika (F=100,044; p0,05) i pol (F=2,434; p>0,05).
Zaključak: Rezultati našeg istraživanja su pokazali da osobe sa demencijom mogu imati značajno oštećenje semantičkog procesiranja. Ovi podaci ukazuju na značajnu razgradnju leksičko-semantičke mreže već u ranim fazama bolesti. U svrhu detaljnijeg opisa leksičko-semantičkog deficita u ranoj fazi demencije potrebno je uporediti postignuća ispitanika na testovima izolovanog imenovanja i zadacima semantičkog procesiranja.Introduction: Lexical deficits are a dominant early symptom in dementia. Research corpus of lexical-semantic deficits in people with dementia is mainly focused on word finding difficulties during spontaneous speech and naming tasks. However, there are significantly fewer studies that have explored semantic processing within this population.
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine semantic processing in patients diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia (scores 12-24 on the Mini Mental Test).
Method: The sample consisted of 47 participants divided into two groups, experimental and control. The experimental group consisted of 19 participants with dementia, while the control group consisted of 28 participants without a history of cognitive impairment and stroke. The groups were age-matched (F=3.638; p>.05). The subtest of semantic associations from the Sydney Language Battery was applied for the purpose of semantic processing assessment.
Results: The results indicated significant differences between the two groups of participants (F=100.044; p.05) and gender (F=2.434; p>.05).
Conclusion: The results of our study showed that people with dementia can have significant impairment of semantic processing. These data indicate a significant deterioration of the lexical-semantic knowledge in the early stages of the disease. For the purpose of a more detailed description of the lexical-semantic deficit in the early stage of dementia, it is necessary to compare word finding and semantic processing abilities in these patients
Correlation between pure tone thresholds and speech thresholds
Get PDFSpeech detection threshold (SDT) depends on audibility alone, whereas speech recognition threshold (SRT) requires the stimuli to be heard and identified. The aim of the study was to determine the difference between SDT and SRT, and to analyze the correlation between pure tone thresholds and speech thresholds. Difference between SDT and SRT was ≤ 12 dB in majority of cases (p = .018). SDT was strongly correlated with the best pure tone threshold. Pearson correlation coefficient was the highest in “Inverted U” shape (r = .99). There was strong correlation between SRT and PTA (500-2000), PTA (500-4000), and PTA (500-1000), especially in Rising configuration (r = .997, r = .992 r = .989, respectively), as well as, between SRT and frequency of 1000 Hz (r = .989). SRT is in the highest correlation with PTA (500, 1000, 2000 Hz) and with the hearing threshold at frequency of 1000 Hz. © 2021, Institute for Human Rehabilitation. All rights reserved.publishedVersio
Opinion of employers in service sector on work inclusion of people with intellectual disability
Get PDFUvod: U socijalnoj inkluziji zaposlenost je još uvek ključni cilj kome teže mnoge osobe sa ometenošću, a najviše problema pri ulasku na tržište rada imaju osobe s intelektualnom ometenošću. Kao najčešći razlog za njihovo nezapošljavanje navode se predrasude poslodavaca koji su ključna karika u selekciji kandidata i donošenju odluke o zapošljavanju.
Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi mišljenje poslodavaca iz oblasti uslužnih delatnosti o radnoj inkluziji osoba sa intelektualnom ometenošću.
Metod: Uzorkom je obuhvaćeno 59 privatnih poslodavaca, oba pola, koji su podeljeni na dve uzrasne kategorije (mlađi – do 40 godina i stariji – preko 40 godina). U istraživanju je primenjen Upitnik o radu za osobe sa ometenošću (Work for People with Disability) kojim se procenjuje mišljenje o radnim performansama i socijalnoj prihvaćenosti osoba sa ometenošću u radnoj sredini.
Rezultati: Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da je mišljenje poslodavaca o radnoj inkluziji osoba sa intelektualnom ometenošću nedeterminisano, kako u domenu radnih performansi, tako i u domenu socijalne prihvaćenosti.
Detaljnijom analizom dobijenih podataka utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika u odnosu na godine starosti ispitanika (t=2,46; p=0,02), pri čemu mlađi ispitanici, do 40 godina imaju pozitivnije mišljenje.
Zaključak: Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za sveobuhvatnijim istraživanjima iz ove oblasti i impliciraju neophodne intervencije u cilju podizanja svesti poslodavaca o radnoj inkluziji osoba sa intelektualnom ometenošću.Introduction: In social inclusion, employment is still a key goal for many people with disabilities and people with intellectual disability have most problems in entering the open labor market. The most common reason for their unemployment is the prejudice of employers as they select candidates for the job and make decisions on their employment.
Aim: The main goal of this research was to determine the opinion of employers in service sector on work inclusion of people with intellectual disability.
Method: The sample consisted of 59 private employers, of both genders, who were divided into two age categories (younger employers – up to 40 years of age, and older – over 40 years of age). For the purpose of this research, we applied Work for People with Disabilities questionnaire, which assesses the opinion on the aspect of work performance and social acceptance of people with disabilities in the work environment.
Results: The obtained results indicate that the opinion of employers on the work inclusion of people with intellectual disability was indeterminate, in both domains of work performance and social acceptance. A more detailed analysis of the obtained data revealed statistically significant differences in relation to the age of the employers (t=2.46; p=.02), with younger employers, up to 40 years of age, having a more positive opinion.
Conclusion: The obtained results indicate the need for more comprehensive research in this area and imply the necessary interventions in order to raise the awareness of employers about the work inclusion of people with intellectual disability
Attitudes of typically developing secondary school students towards peers with sensory disabilities
Get PDFUvod: Efekti inkluzivnog obrazovanja se često u literaturi sagledavaju kroz stavove učenika tipične populacije prema vršnjacima sa smetnjama i poremećajima, pri čemu veliki broj istraživačkih nalaza sugeriše da neposredni kontakt učenika predstavlja jedan od preduslova za formiranje pozitivnijih stavova.
Cilj: Cilj istraživanja je bio da se ispitaju i uporede stavovi učenika tipičnog razvoja u zavisnosti od toga da li pohađaju nastavu sa vršnjacima sa senzornim smetnjama i poremećajima.
Metod: Prigodni uzorak za istraživanje činilo je 174 učenika prvog i drugog razreda iz tri srednje škole, od kojih je 52 učenika imalo neposredni kontakt u razredu sa vršnjacima sa senzornim smetnjama i poremećajima.
U istraživanju je korišćena Čedok Mekmaster skala za procenu stavova prema osobama sa hendikepom. Interna konzistentnost je utvrđena Kronbahovim alfa koeficijentom i iznosi 0,73 za skalu u celini.
Rezultati: Prosečni skorovi dobijeni na skali ukazuju da učenici tipičnog razvoja imaju pozitivne stavove prema vršnjacima sa senzornim smetnjama i poremećajima, ukupan skor iznosi 78,86. Utvrđeno je da postoje veoma male razlike u stavovima srednjoškolaca na skali u celini, njenom kognitivnom i bihevioralnom domenu, dok je jedina razlika pronađena u afektivnom domenu skale, gde su učenici koji su imali kontakt sa vršnjacima sa senzornim smetnjama i poremećajima pokazali značajno viši skor (t=2,473; df=172; p=0,01).
Zaključak: Pretežno pozitivni stavovi prema vršnjacima sa senzornim smetnjama i poremećajima ukazuju na pozitivne efekte inkluzivnog obrazovanja, a da li su nastali usled samog prisustva učenika sa senzornim smetnjama i poremećajima ili kroz druženje i zajedničke aktivnosti je otvoreno pitanje za buduća istraživanja.Introduction: The effects of inclusive education in the literature are most often observed through the attitudes of typically developing students towards peers with disabilities where a large number of research findings suggest that direct contact between students is one of the prerequisites for forming more positive attitudes.
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine and compare the attitudes of typically developing students depending on direct contacts in classes with peers with sensory disabilities.
Method: A convenient sample for the research consisted of 174 first and second grade students from three high schools, of which 52 students had direct contact in class with peers with sensory disabilities. The study used the Chedoke-McMaster scale to assess attitudes toward people with disabilities. Internal consistency was determined by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .73 for the scale as a whole.
Results: The average scores obtained on the scale indicate that typically developing students had positive attitudes towards peers with sensory disabilities and the total score was 78.86. It was found that there were very small differences in the attitudes of high school students on the scale as a whole as well as its cognitive and behavioral domain, while the only difference was found in the affective domain of the scale, where students who have peers with sensory disabilities in their immediate surrounding showed significantly higher scores (t=2.473; df=172; p=.01).
Conclusion: The majority of positive attitudes towards peers with sensory disabilities indicate a positive effect of inclusive education, and whether that is due to the presence of students with sensory disabilities or socializing and joint activities remains an open question for future research
What drives us to be (ir)responsible for our health during the COVID-19 pandemic? The role of personality, thinking styles, and conspiracy mentality
Get PDFThe study aimed to investigate the role of personality, thinking styles, and conspiracy mentality in health-related behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e., recommended health behaviors according to COVID-19 guidelines and engagement in pseudoscientific practices related to COVID-19. Basic personality space was defined by the HEXACO model complemented by Disintegration, which represents psychotic-like experiences and behaviors reconceptualized as a personality trait. Mediation analyses conducted on a convenient sample from the general population recruited via social media and by snowballing (N = 417) showed that engagement in pseudoscientific behaviors was predicted by high Disintegration. However, this relationship was entirely mediated by high experiential and low rational thinking styles. Adherence to health practices recommended by COVID-19 guidelines was predicted by high Honesty traits, while low Disintegration had both direct and indirect effects through conspiracy mentality.This is the peer‐reviewed version of the article: Lazarević, L.

The implementation of reflection-based approaches in the education and rehabilitation of children with disabilities
Get PDFEducation and rehabilitation of children with disabilities represent complex processes that need to be approached in continuous, structured, and sustained programs. Professionals need to have the competences to understand, plan and support every aspect of evaluation and intervention, which sometimes can be a challenge, undergoing a meaning-making process of the child’s learning and development, trying to answer to questions such as: how the child is learning, what his or her difficulties mean, how difficulties can be overcome and progress be achieved, the better support of needs and interests of child with disabilities while meaningful learning experiences are created.
It is essential to understand how and why the child learns in a specific way, how can intervention become conceptualized, operational and implemented in various educational and social contexts, what creation of opportunities mean and the role of environment. The reflection-based approach has known a growth and application in the domain of special and inclusive education, promoting the concept of reflexive practitioner who analyzes, projects and reconsiders assessment and intervention according to observations and results. The presentation will focus on the implications of the practices based on reflection in planning and developing assessment and intervention programs, the specificity and the functional outcomes
Informisanost oftalmologa o cerebralnom oštećenju vida – preliminarno istraživanje
Get PDFIntroduction. Cerebral visual impairment is the leading cause of severe visual
impairment and blindness in infants and children in high-income countries. The main
cause of this condition is damage of higher visual pathways and brain centers which
leads to problems in processing visual information. In the last 20 years, an increase in
the prevalence of cerebral visual impairment has been observed, but this diagnosis as a
cause of vision problems in Serbia is not common. Objectives. The aim of this study was
to assess the awareness of ophthalmologists of cerebral visual impairment. Methods. The
Questionnaire for the assessment of cerebral visual impairment (Maitreya et al., 2018)
was translated into Serbian, and used for data collection. The sample consisted of 45
ophthalmologists employed on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Results. Two thirds
of ophthalmologistsfrom the sample self-assessed their knowledge aslow (or nonexistent).
However, the results showed that they had a satisfying level of awareness about cerebral
visual impairment, and the majority of the participants correctly stated the most common
risk factor for cerebral visual impairment. The highest awareness was observed in
ophthalmologists who worked in health centers, those with more work experience, and
especially those who primarily worked with children. Conclusion. Further informing the
ophthalmologists about the diagnostic method of choice,symptomatology and differential
diagnosis of cerebral visual impairment is desirable. Raising the awareness of doctors
about this condition would lead to more frequent diagnoses, especially in babies with
neurological impairments that are currently most likely misdiagnosed or unrecognized
when it comes to their vision problemsUvod: Cerebralno oštećenje vida je vodeći uzrok ozbiljnog oštećenja vida i slepoće kod
novorođenčadi i dece u razvijenim zemljama. Osnovni uzrok ovog stanja koje dovodi do
problema u obradi vizuelnih informacija predstavlja oštećenje viših vizuelnih puteva i
moždanih centara. U poslednjih 20 godina primetno je povećanje prevalencije cerebralnog
oštećenja vida, ali ova dijagnoza kao uzrok oštećenja vida u Srbiji nije uobičajena. Cilj:
Imajući to na umu, cilj ove studije je procena informisanosti oftalmologa o cerebralnom
oštećenju vida. Metode: U svrhu prikupljanja podataka, na srpski jezik je preveden i
korišćen Upitnik za procenu svesti o cerebralnom oštećenju vida (Maitreya et al., 2018).
U istraživanju je učestvovalo 45 oftalmologa zaposlenih u zdravstvenim ustanovama
na teritoriji Republike Srbije. Rezultati: Iako dve trećine oftalmologa iz uzorka
samoprocenjuje svoje znanje o cerebralnom oštećenju vida kao nisko (ili kao nepostojeće),
rezultati su pokazali da oni ipak imaju zadovoljavajući nivo informacija. Takođe, većina
učesnika je tačno navela koji najčešći faktor rizika za cerebralno oštećenje vida. Najviši
nivo informisanosti pokazali su oftalmolozi zaposleni u domovima zdravlja, oni s dužim
radnim stažom, i posebno oni koji prvenstveno rade s decom. Zaključak: Poželjno je
dalje informisanje oftalmologa koje bi posebno bilo usmereno na dijagnostičke metode,
simptomatologiju i diferencijalnu dijagnozu cerebralnog oštećenja vida. Pomenuto
podizanje svesti lekara o ovom stanju kod dece dovelo bi do češćeg dijagnostikovanja
cerebralnog oštećenja vida, posebno kod prevremeno rođene dece s neurološkim
oštećenjima, čije su vizuelne teškoće, kako trenutno stvari stoje, najverovatnije pogrešno
dijagnostikovane ili neprepoznate
The role of competent state authorities in prevention of domestic violence
Get PDFUvod: Nakon četiri godine od početka primene Zakona o sprečavanju nasi- lja u porodici broj žrtava lišenih života u porodičnom nasilju nije se smanjio.
Zakon o sprečavanju nasilja u porodici uređuje materiju saradnje i koordinira- nog postupanja nadležnih državnih organa i ustanova u cilju blagovremenog sprečavanja i zaustavljanja nasilja, kao i delotvorne zaštite i podrške žrtvama.
Cilj: Cilj ovog rada je da se utvrdi šta se promenilo s donošenjem Zakona o sprečavanju nasilja u porodici. Ratifikacija Konvencije Saveta Evrope o borbi i sprečavanju nasilja nad ženama i nasilja u porodici i slabosti dotadašnjeg na- čina suprostavljanja nasilju u porodici u Srbiji, doveli su do donošenja Zakona o sprečavanju nasilja u porodici. Policija dobija novu, preventivnu ulogu u su- prostavljanju nasilju u porodici koja se sastoji u obavezi izricanja hitnih mera u svim onim slučajevima kada se proceni rizik da postoji neposredna opasnost od nasilja u porodici. Istraživanje, koje je prezentovano u ovom radu i koje se odnosi na period od tri godine (2018-2020), imalo je za cilj da utvrdi kakvi su efekti preventivnih mera koje preduzimaju nadležni organi, kao i da li se odredbe zakona primenjuju na ujednačen način na teritoriji Srbije.
Metod: U radu su primenjene sledeće naučne medode istraživanja: norma- tivna i statistička metoda, analiza sadržaja, komparativna metoda i formal- no-logička analiza.
Rezultati i diskusija: Identifikovani su i sistematizovani problemi i propusti u radu nadležnih organa, pre svega policije i javnog tužilaštva, koji dovode do smanjene efikasnosti i efektivnosti u sprovođenju zakona. Rezultati su nam po- kazali da: 1) je težišna usmerenost nadležnih organa na poštovanju formalnih procedura, 2) je uočljivo neujednačeno postupanje nadležnih državnih organa prilikom pozivanja žrtava da prisustvuju sastancima Grupa za koordinaciju i saradnju, 3) efekti mera iz planova zaštite koje donosi Grupa za kooridinaciju i saradnju pokazuju da u izvesnom broju slučajeva ipak dolazi, nakon nekoliko meseci od izricanja hitnih mera, do ponavljanja nasilja i teških posledica.
Zaključak: Na kraju, autori zaključuju da nov način rada nadležnih državnih organa, odnosno stavljanje naglaska na preventivno postupanje policije, jav- nog tužilaštva i suda, pokazuje izvesne rezultate koji se ogledaju u smanjenju broja podnetih krivičnih prijava za nasilje u porodici i smanjenju broja učini- laca krivičnih dela. Međutim, zaključeno je da se ne radi provera efektivnosti preduzetih preventivnih mera, pa često dolazi do povrata i nastupanja najtežih posledica po žrtve nasilja u porodici. Dakle, prekid nasilja, sprečavanje novog i ponovljenog nasilja i zaštita bezbednosti žrtve je u prvom planu nadležnih dr- žavnih organa dok se ne iscrpe one radnje i mere koje su propisane Zakonom, ali kada je u pitanju praćenje planiranih i preduzetih mera nedostaje aktivniji pristup.Introduction: Four years upon the beginning of implementation of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence the number of victims who lost their lives in domestic violence has not been reduced. The Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence regulates the area of cooperation and coordinated conduct of the proper state authorities and institutions with the aim of timely prevention and stopping of violence, as well as effective protection and support to victims.
Aim: The aim of this paper is to determine what has changed with the adoption of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence. The ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence and the weaknesses of the manner of fight against domestic violence in Serbia until that time resulted in adoption of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence. The police are given a new, preventive role in fighting domestic violence, which consists of the obligation to pronounce urgent measures in all cases when there is estimated risk of direct danger of domestic violence. The research presented in this paper, which covers the period of three years (2018-2020), was aimed to determine the effects of preventive measures undertaken by the competent authorities, as well as to establish if the legal regulations have been implemented evenly in the territory of Serbia.
Method: The following scientific and research methods have been used in the paper: normative and statistical method, content analysis, comparative method and formal logic analysis.
Results and Discussion: Problems and omissions in the work of competent authorities have been identified and systematized, primarily of the police and Public Prosecutor’s Office, which result in reduced efficiency and effectiveness in law enforcement. The results have shown that: 1) the main direction of competent authorities is to follow the formal procedure; 2) it has been noticed that there is uneven conduct of competent authorities when inviting victims to attend the meetings of Groups for coordination and cooperation; 3) the effects of measures listed in protection plans adopted by the Group for coordination and cooperation show that in a number of cases, after several months following the pronouncing of urgent measures, there comes repeated violence and severe consequences.
Conclusion: Finally, the authors conclude that the new manner of work of the competent state bodies, in other words the emphasis on preventive conduct of the police, Public Proseutor’s Office and the courts shows certain results, which reflect in reduction of the number of criminal charges brought for domestic violence and the reduction of the number of criminal offenders. However, it has been concluded that there is not a checkup if the the preventive measures taken have been effective, so there often comes to repeated violence and the most severe consequences for the victims of domestic violence. Therefore, stopping of violence, prevention of new and repeated violence and the protection of victim’s safety should be in the focus of the competent state authorities until all conducts and measures prescribed by the Law are exhausted, but as far as monitoring of measures which are planned and undertaken there lacks a more active approach
Expert center maribor – the process of deinstitutionalization
Get PDFUvod: Ideja Stručnog centra Maribor proizlazi iz koncepta deinstitucionalizaci- je, pod koji stavljamo diskurse normalizacije, regionalizacije, decentralizacije, socijalne inkluzije, participacije, osnaživanja – fokusirajući se na pojedinač- ne resurse, diferencijaciju, deinstitucionalizaciju u užem smislu riječi i socijal- nopedagoška pomoć usmjerena u životni svijet pojedinca.
Cilj: Ovi su diskursi osnova za planiranje i provedbu projekta Stručnog centra Maribor, koncepta cjelovitog tretmana djece i adolescenata s emocionalnim problemima i poremećajima u ponašanju na čitavom kontinuitetu pomoći, od preventivnih programa do rada s najtežim slučajevima.
Metod: Programom će stručni centar osigurati realizaciju principa humani- zacije, normalizacije, integracije, participacije, inkluzije i socijalnopedagoške pomoći usmjerene u životni svijet korisnika. Smisao tretmana i logika stručnog centra su briga o bližnjima sa radom u lokalnoj zajednici i regionalno pokriva- nje pomoći.
Rezultati: Projekt pruža celokupni i korak-po-korak tretman čitavog spektra dje- ce i adolescenata sa emocionalnim problemima i poremećajima u ponašanju.
Prostori i pristupi prilagođeni su potrebama djece i adolescenata. U posljednjih pedeset godina, Stručni centar Maribor znači nastavak težnje za normalizacijom i humanizacijom, od Logaškog eksperimenta, uvođenja stambenih grupa, preko obnove odgojnih institucija do početaka omladinskih stanova.
Zaključak: Svrha projekta je uspostavljanje regionalnog stručnog centra za podršku djeci i adolescentima sa emocionalnim problemima i poremećajima u ponašanju na celokupnom kontinuumu pružanja pomoći. Cilj projekta i novih programa je reintegracija djece i adolescenata u njihovo primarno ili drugo za njih povoljno okruženje uz njihovo aktivno učešće, što prije i uspješnije je to moguće. Sa Stručnim centrom Maribor i njegovim programima očekuje očekujemo veče uponomočenje djece i adolescenata u njihovom prelasku u samostalan život.Introduction: The idea of the Expert Center Maribor derives from the concept of deinstitutionalization, under which we place the discourses of normalization, regionalization, decentralization, social inclusion, participation, empowerment – focusing on individual resources, differentiation, deinstitutionalization in the narrower sense of the word and socio- pedagogical help directed at the life of the individual.
Aim: These discourses are the basis for planning and implementing the project of the Expert Center Maribor, the concept of comprehensive treatment of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems and disorders throughout the continuum of help, from prevention programs to working with the most difficult cases.
Method: With the programs, the expert center will ensure the realization of the principles of humanization, normalization, integration, participation, inclusion and social- pedagogical help directed at the life of the user. The meaningfulness of the treatment and the logic of the expert center are the care for human being by working in the local community and the regional coverage of help.
Results: The project provides a holistic and step-by-step treatment of the full spectrum of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems and disorders. Spaces and approaches are geared to the needs of children and adolescents. In the last fifty years, the Expert Center Maribor has continued the aspirations for normalization and humanization, from the Logatec experiment to the introduction of residential groups, through the renovation of institutions to the beginnings of youth housing.
Conclusion: The purpose of the project is to establish a regional expert center to support children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems and disorders throughout the continuum of help. The goal of the project and new programs is the reintegration of children and adolescents into their primary or other favorable environment with their active participation as soon and successfully as possible. With Expert Center Maribor and its programs, we expect greater empowerment of children and adolescents in their transition to independent living
