Psychic automatism
No full textV diplomskem delu raziskujem koncept psihičnega avtomatizma v kontekstu likovnega pouka v osnovni šoli, kjer običajno prevladuje osredotočenost na strukturirano risbo. Učencem sem želela predstaviti drugačen pristop k Likovnemu motivu – brez kontrole zavesti. Namen dela je preveriti, kako se učenci odzovejo na nalogo, ki od njih zahteva spontano izražanje in odmik od prepoznavnega motiva. V teoretičnem delu opredeljujem pojem psihičnega avtomatizma in predstavljam umetniška gibanja, zgodovinski kontekst ter umetnike, ki so uporabljali to tehniko – s posebnim poudarkom na nadrealizmu. V praktičnem delu raziskujem lastno izkušnjo s tovrstnim ustvarjanjem v grafični tehniki mezzotinte, kjer sem se za pristnejši stik s psihičnim avtomatizmom odločila za risanje z zaprtimi očmi, s čimer sem skušala izključiti zunanje vplive. V pedagoškem delu sem ta pristop prenesla na delo z učenci, pri čemer smo uporabili tehniko kolagrafije. V empiričnem delu ugotavljam, da so učenci nalogo sprejeli pozitivno, jo uspešno izvedli, in da je metoda primerna za uporabo v osnovnošolskem likovnem pouku.This thesis explores the concept of psychic automatism in the context of art education in primary school, where the emphasis is typically placed on realism and structured drawing. The aim of the project is to examine how students respond to an assignment that requires spontaneous expression and a departure from recognizable motifs. The theoretical part defines the concept od psychic automatism and presents related artistic movements, historical context and key artists who employed this approach in their work—with a particular focus on Surrealism and its representatives. The practical part discusses my personal artistic exploration of the concept through the graphic technique of mezzotint, where I worked with my eyes closed to eliminate external distractions and deepen my engagement with psychic automatism. In the pedagogical part, I adapted this approach for use with students, using the technique of collagraphy instead. The empirical part concludes that students responded positively to the task, carried it out successfully, and that this method is suitable for primary school art classes
A REVIEW OF GOOD SOCIAL CONTROL PRACTICES IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF MARIBOR
Get PDFV Mestni občini Maribor (v nadaljevanju MO Maribor) za varnost skrbijo izvajalci družbenega nadzorstva: policija, zapori, sodišča, carinska služba in tožilstvo. Veliko vlogo pri zagotavljanju varnosti v lokalni skupnosti imajo tudi gasilci, reševalci nujne medicinske pomoči, redarska služba, civilna zaščita in vojska. V diplomskem delu smo predstavili problematiko učinkovitosti sodelovanja med izvajalci družbenega nadzorstva ter vlogo organov pri zagotavljanju varnosti v MO Maribor.
V raziskovalnem delu smo na podlagi informativnih razgovorov ugotavljali, na kakšen način sodelujejo institucije družbenega nadzorstva in ali je sodelovanje učinkovito ali ne. Rezultati so pokazali, da sodelovanje večina ocenjuje kot učinkovito, je pa treba za večjo zagotavljanje varnosti v MO Maribor vpeljati nekaj sprememb. Podatki kažejo, da bi bilo za učinkovitejše sodelovanje treba zmanjšati predvsem odzivni čas. To pomeni, da bi se vsi hitreje odzivali na probleme, ki se pojavljajo v samih postopkih. Večkrat bi bilo treba organizirati skupna izobraževanja oz. srečanja, kjer bi organi lahko izmenjali razna mnenja in dileme, ki se pojavljajo pri samem delu. S tem bi zagotovili učinkovitejše medsebojno sodelovanje. Na podlagi analize statističnih podatkov smo ugotavljali, ali je mesto Maribor varno mesto v primerjavi z Ljubljano in Celjem. Podatki so pokazali, da je Maribor varnejše mesto v primerjavi z obema izbranima mestoma, a kljub temu menimo, da bi bilo treba uvesti spremembe (učinkovitejše sodelovanje med izvajalci družbenega nadzora, več nadzora na ulicah, zmanjšanje stopnje brezposelnosti), ki bi zmanjšale stopnjo kriminalitete v mestu in s tem še povečale stopnjo varnosti v MO Maribor.
Sodelovanje med izvajalci družbenega nadzorstva je v večini učinkovito, a hkrati nakazuje, da bi bilo treba uvesti izboljšave, ki bi pripomogle k večji učinkovitosti. Predlogi izboljšav so: skupna izobraževanja različnih izvajalcev družbenega nadzorstva, učinkovitejše izvajanje postopkov, večkratna druženja različnih izvajalcev, kjer bodo lahko brez zadržkov govorili o težavah, vključevanje in sodelovanje različnih organov pri različnih postopkih ter uvedba team buildingov, kjer bi se izvajalci družili izven delovnega okolja in tako stkali prijateljske vezi, ki bi morda kasneje privedle do lažjega komuniciranja različnih izvajalcev družbenega nadzorstva in s tem k učinkovitejšemu delu.Social service inspectorate (police, prisons, courts, customs and the prosecution) takes care of security in the municipality of Maribor. Great role in providing security in local community play firefighters, emergency medical service, municipal police, civil protection and the forces. Diploma thesis deals with issues that concern the effectiveness of cooperation between the social control contractors and the authorities’ role in providing safety in municipality of Maribor.
On the basis of informative discussions the empirical part of diploma paper established how different social control institutions cooperate and if this cooperation is effective or not. The results showed that the cooperation is mostly evaluated as effective, although it would be necessary to provide better security in municipality of Maribor with certain changes. The data shows that for more effective cooperation they should shorten the response time. That means all would response faster to problems that occur in various procedures. There should be more often organised common courses or meetings where could authorities share different opinions and dilemmas that cause problems in their work, so they could ensure more effective cooperation. On the basis of statistical data analysis we were establishing other the city of Maribor is safe in comparison to Ljubljana and Celje. The results showed that Maribor is safer than both other chosen cities, but despite that we believe that changes should be made (more effective cooperation among social control contractors, tighter control on the streets, lower the degree of unemployment), that would reduce the degree of crime rate and increase the degree of safety in municipality of Maribor.
The cooperation among social control contractors is mostly effective, but at the same time it indicates that the improvements which should be made would aid to higher effectiveness. Suggestions for improvements: common courses for various social control contractors, more effective procedure performing, multiple contractors socialising, were they could speak their minds about problems without any impediments, including in cooperation of different authorities in various procedures, team-building introduction, where contractors would socialise outside work environment and form friendly relationships which could lead to further better communication among different social control contractors and more effective work
The comparative analysis of performances of the greatest slovenian television personalities
Get PDFV diplomskem delu je predstavljena analiza nastopa dveh voditeljev razvedrilnih oddaj na komercialni televiziji. Analizirani sta bili besedna in nebesedna komunikacija voditeljev Vida Valiča in Petra Polesa v oddajah Slovenija ima talent, Vid in Pero šov ter X Factor Slovenija, ki sta jih vodila skupaj. Preučevano je bilo, kakšne so podobnosti in razlike v govoru in prvinah nebesedne komunikacije izbranih voditeljev. S pomočjo analize govora je bilo ugotovljeno, da voditelja uporabljata neknjižni pogovorni jezik, natančneje osrednjeslovenski oz. ljubljanski pogovorni jezik. Analiza mimike, gestikulacije in zunanjega videza je pokazala podobnosti v značilnostih nebesedne komunikacije pri obeh voditeljih. Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da se voditelja precej izražata skozi obrazne kretnje, ki pogosto nadomestijo besede. Najpogostejši obrazni izraz je smeh, njegova intenzivnost pa se spreminja glede na primernost v različnih položajih. Oba imata roke večino časa v gibanju. Oblečena sta v enaka, elegantna oblačila. Rezultati analize so lahko kot vodilo primerni za voditelje, ki televizijsko delo šele začenjajo, saj nazorno prikazujejo elemente, ki so pomembni za dober nastop. Hkrati so lahko pridobljeni rezultati uporabni za raziskovalce, ki bi v prihodnosti želeli raziskovati nebesedno in/ali besedno komunikacijo med voditelji ne le razvedrilnih, temveč tudi drugih vrst oddaj na komercialni in javni televiziji.The subject of this diploma thesis is the comparative analysis of performances of two television personalities on commercial TV. We analyzed the verbal and nonverbal communication of Vid Valič and Peter Poles in three television shows, which they have run together, Slovenija ima talent, Vid in Pero šov and X Factor Slovenija. We were interested in examining the differences and similarities in speech, language characteristic, and elements of nonverbal communication. With our analyses of speech, we found out that they both use conversational language that is typical for Ljubljana and surrounding area. Analysis of mimics, gestures, and external appearance show that the aforementioned TV presenters have a few commonalities. They both have strong facial expressions that are often used to replace words. The most common facial emote is a smile that changes according to the story that they are addressing. Most of the time, the movements of their hands are animated. They tend to wear fashionable clothing. The obtained results can serve as a guide for TV presenters, who have just started working in television because they show elements of nonverbal communication that are important for effective performance on television. Also, our results can be used by researchers who would, in the future, want to research verbal and nonverbal communication amongst presenters in different forms of media both pure entertainment and informative programming
Comparative analysis of Slovenia and selected countries in the field of privatisation in education
No full textPrivatizacija izobraževanja je postala splošno sprejet koncept, ki ga je mogoče razumeti in uporabiti v izobraževalni praksi na številne načine. Razlogi za privatizacijo in njene oblike na različnih ravneh izobraževanja se v izobraževalnih sistemih razlikujejo. Namen diplomskega dela je proučiti in analizirati trend privatizacije v izobraževanju ter njegove pozitivne in negativne učinke na izobraževalno politiko. Cilj je primerjati Slovenijo z izbranimi evropskimi državami, da bi identificirali dobre in slabe prakse privatizacije v izobraževanju ter ocenili povezavo med privatizacijo in proračunskimi sredstvi. Raziskava temelji na kvalitativnih metodah, vključno z deskriptivno metodo, metodo kompilacije ter študijo primera. Analiza vključuje pregled domače in tuje literature ter primerjalno analizo med Slovenijo in izbranimi državami. Uporabljeni sta tudi komparativna metoda za ugotavljanje podobnosti in razlik ter metoda sinteze za združitev ugotovitev. Ugotovitve raziskave kažejo, da se trend privatizacije v izobraževanju krepi predvsem zaradi globalizacije in vpliva mednarodnih organizacij. Privatizacija prinaša prednosti, kot je povečana učinkovitost, pa tudi slabosti, kot je zmanjšana enakost v dostopu do izobraževanja. V Sloveniji je stopnja privatizacije nižja v primerjavi z nekaterimi drugimi evropskimi državami. Rezultati raziskave so uporabni za oblikovalce izobraževalnih politik, saj nudijo vpogled v vplive privatizacije na izobraževalne sisteme drugih evropskih držav. Primerjalna analiza omogoča prepoznavanje dobrih praks, ki jih lahko Slovenija uporabi, ter opozarja na tveganja, povezana s privatizacijo. Ugotovitve so pomembne tudi za prihodnje raziskave na področju izobraževalne politike.Privatization in education has become a widely accepted concept that can be understood and applied in educational practice in many ways. The reasons for privatization and its forms differ at different levels of education in educational systems. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to study and analyse the trend of privatisation in education and its positive and negative effects on education policy. The objective is to compare Slovenia with selected European countries in order to identify good and bad practices of privatisation in education and to assess the link between privatisation and budgetary resources. The research is based on qualitative methods, including descriptive, compilation and case study methods. The analysis includes a review of domestic and foreign literature and a comparative analysis between Slovenia and selected countries. The comparative method is also used to identify similarities and differences, as well as the synthesis method to synthesise the findings. The findings of the research show that the trend towards privatisation in education is increasing, mainly due to globalisation and the influence of international organisations. Privatisation brings both advantages, such as increased efficiency, and disadvantages, such as reduced equity in access to education. Slovenia has a lower rate of privatisation than some other European countries. The results of the survey are useful for education policy makers as they provide insights into the impact of privatisation on the education systems of other European countries. The comparative analysis allows for the identification of good practices that can be applied in Slovenia and highlights the risks associated with privatisation. The findings are also relevant for future research in the field of education policy
The use of dating apps in relation to risky sexual behaviour and self-esteem among young adults
Get PDFAplikacije za zmenke so že dolgo prisotne v naši družbi in so za marsikoga postale ena izmed glavnih platform za spoznavanje morebitnih romantičnih partnerjev. V tujini lahko na to temo opazimo že veliko raziskav, kar pa pri nas ne drži. Namen te raziskave je bil tako preučiti nekatere vidike uporabe aplikacij za zmenke v Sloveniji v povezavi s tveganim spolnim vedenjem in samospoštovanjem pri uporabnikih. Raziskava je bila prečna, udeleženci so sodelovali prostovoljno, vprašalnike pa so reševali preko spletnega orodja 1ka. Poleg demografskih vprašanj in vprašanj o uporabi aplikacij za zmenke so udeleženci rešili še Lestvico tveganih spolnih vedenj, Rosenbergovo lestvico samospoštovanja in Lestvico motivov uporabe Tinderja. Sodelovalo je 280 mladih med 18 in 30 letom (M = 24,6SD = 2,96). Od tega je bilo 198 žensk in 81 moških, en udeleženec pa je pri spolu označil »drugo«. Trenutnih uporabnikov je bilo 51 (18,2 %), nekdanjih uporabnikov 87 (31,1 %), 142 (50,7 %) udeležencev pa aplikacij za zmenke ni uporabljalo nikoli. Na našem vzorcu smo odkrili pogosta srečanja v živo, spolne odnose z drugimi uporabniki in presenetljiv odstotek romantičnih razmerij, ki so se vzpostavila kot posledica uporabe aplikacij za zmenke. Uporabniki so bili v večji meri moški, samski in so živeli sami, pri tem pa se je izkazalo, da imajo moški in ženske drugačne motive za uporabo. Z neuporabniki so se razlikovali v številu bivših spolnih partnerjev, v samospoštovanju in tveganem spolnem vedenju pa razlik nismo opazili. Tvegano spolno vedenje se pri uporabnikih ni razlikovalo glede na spol, se pa je razlikovalo glede na motiv uporabe. Prav tako je bilo tvegano spolno vedenje pri uporabnikih pomembno povezano s številom spolnih partnerjev, ne pa tudi z dnevno uporabo aplikacij. Samospoštovanje pri uporabnikih ni kazalo pomembnih razlik glede na spol, prav tako pa tudi ni kazalo pomembnih povezav s tveganim spolnim vedenjem. Aplikacije za zmenke so se tako izkazale kot uspešen medij za povezovanje ljudi, negativnih povezav, ki so bile odkrite v prejšnjih raziskavah, pa na našem vzorcu nismo opazili. Podane so tudi praktične implikacije, pomanjkljivosti raziskave in ideje za prihodnje raziskave.Dating apps have long been present in our society and have become one of the main platforms for meeting potential romantic partners for many people. While there has been extensive research on this topic abroad, this is not the case in our country. The aim of the current study was to explore certain aspects of dating app usage in Slovenia in relation to risky sexual behavior and self-esteem among users. The study was cross-sectional, with participants volunteering to take part, and they completed the questionnaires via the online tool 1ka. In addition to demographic questions and questions about dating app usage, participants also completed the Sexual risk behaviors scale, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and the Tinder motives scale. A total of 280 young people aged 18 to 30 participated (M=24.6SD=2.96), including 198 women and 81 men, with one participant identifying as none of the two listed genders. There were 51 current users (18.2%), 87 former users (31.1%), and 142 participants (50.7%) who had never used dating apps. Our sample revealed frequent in-person meetings, sexual relationships with other users, and a surprising percentage of romantic relationships that developed as a result of using dating apps. Users were predominantly male, single, and living alone, and it was found that men and women had different motives for usage. Compared to non-users, users differed in the number of previous sexual partners, while no differences were observed in self-esteem and risky sexual behavior. Risky sexual behavior did not differ by gender among users but did vary according to motives for usage. Furthermore, risky sexual behavior among users was significantly related to the number of sexual partners but not to daily app usage. Self-esteem among users did not show significant differences by gender, nor did it have significant connections to risky sexual behavior. Dating apps have proven to be a successful medium for connecting people, and we did not observe the negative associations found in previous studies within our sample. Practical implications, study limitations, and ideas for future research are also provided
Competencies of continuous professional development and professional strategy in career beginners with respect to motivational and organizational factors
Get PDFPojem kompetence je težko opredeljiv, v splošnem predstavlja gruče znanj, veščin, zmožnosti in drugih lastnosti, ki posamezniku omogočajo, da v strokovnih situacijah ravna učinkovito in skladno z opredeljenimi standardi. EuroPsy model (EFPA, 2015) opredeljuje kompetence psihologov, loči jih na primarne in usposobitvene. Slednje so splošne in jih za delo potrebujejo tudi strokovnjaki na drugih področjih. Raziskali smo, kako razviti sta usposobitveni kompetenci stalnega strokovnega razvoja in profesionalne strategije pri kariernih začetnikih glede na samoučinkovitost, ciljno-motivacijsko orientacijo posameznika, mentorske odnose, organizacijsko klimo ter pretočnost informacij v organizaciji, v kateri deluje. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 129 udeležencev iz različnih strok in organizacij z manj kot petimi leti izkušenj. Razvili smo vprašalnik o izbranih kompetencah, pri čemer smo ugotovili, da odgovore na izbrane postavke pojasnjujejo štirje faktorji – stalni strokovni razvoj, lastna zaznava kompetenc, profesionalna strategija ter posvetovanje. Ugotovili smo, da imajo karierni začetniki, ki se zaznavajo kot samoučinkovite ter se pri svojem delu osredotočajo na strokovnost, mojstrstvo in obvladovanje področja, bolj razvite nekatere od vidikov izbranih kompetenc. O višji pretočnosti informacij in organizacijski klimi podpore ter inovacij v organizaciji so poročali udeleženci z bolj razvitimi kompetencami, medtem ko se mentorstvo s kompetencami ni povezovalo. Na podlagi rezultatov študije predlagamo nadaljnje usmeritve pri preučevanju kompetenc oziroma njihovih povezav z izbranimi dejavniki.The concept of competence is still difficult to define, but in general it represents clusters of knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics that enable an individual to act effectively and in accordance with defined standards in professional situations. The EuroPsy model defines the competencies of psychologists, separating them into the primary and enabling competences. The latter are general and important for experts of different professions. The present research focused on how developed are competencies of continuous professional development and professional strategy in career beginners in relation to self-efficacy, achievement goal orientation, mentoring relationships, organizational climate and information flow in the organization in which the individual works. There were 129 participants with less than 5 years of work experience from various professions and organizations included in the study. A questionnaire on selected competencies was developed, and it was found that responses to selected items can be explained by four factors – continuous professional development, own perception of competencies, work standards and consultation. Career beginners who perceive themselves as self-efficient and focus their work on mastery reported to have some aspects of competencies more developed. Higher information flow and the organisational climate of support and innovation in the organization were reported by participants with more developed competencies, while mentoring was not correlated with competencies. Based on the results of the study, we propose further directions in the research field of competencies or their connections with selected factors

T0901317 is a potent PXR ligand: Implications for the biology ascribed to LXR
No full textAbstractThe liver X receptors (LXRα and β) are nuclear receptors that coordinate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Insight into the physiologic roles of the LXRs has been greatly facilitated by the discovery of potent synthetic agonists. Here we show that one of these compounds, T0901317, is also a high-affinity ligand for the xenobiotic receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR). T0901317 binds and activates PXR with the same nanomolar potency with which it stimulates LXR activity. T0901317 induces expression not only of LXR target genes, but also of PXR target genes in cells and animals, including the scavenger receptor CD36, a property not shared by more specific LXR ligands, such as GW3965. Activation of PXR targets may explain why T0901317 induces dramatic liver steatosis, while GW3965 has a milder effect. These results suggest that many of the biological activities heretofore associated with LXR activation may be mediated by PXR, not LXR. Since T0901317 has been widely used in animals to study LXR function, the in vivo effects of this compound ascribed to LXR activation should be re-examined
