Use of police powers against the crowd at football matches - analysis of matches between fc maribor and fc olimpija between the years 2018-2023
No full textDiplomsko delo z naslovom Uporaba prisilnih sredstev proti množici na nogometnih tekmah – analiza tekem med NK Maribor in NK Olimpija med leti 2018–2023 obravnava uporabo prisilnih sredstev na nogometnih tekmah z visokim varnostnim tveganjem. Derbiji med NK Maribor in NK Olimpija veljajo za dogodke, kjer pogosto sodeluje večje število policistov, tudi pripadnikov posebne policijske enote.
Osrednje raziskovalno vprašanje se je glasilo, v kakšnem obsegu in pod kakšnimi pogoji se na teh tekmah uporabljajo prisilna sredstva. Zaradi omejenega dostopa do uradnih podatkov so bile analizirane javno dostopne statistike, medijska poročila in intervju s policistom spotterjem, ki je osvetlil priprave, varovanje in intervencijske postopke.
Analiza je pokazala, da do največ napetosti prihaja pred začetkom tekem, zlasti ob organiziranem prihodu navijačev. Takrat policija najpogosteje ukrepa zaradi fizičnih spopadov in uporabe pirotehnike. Prisilna sredstva se uporabljajo redko, predvsem ob resnih incidentih.
Kljub pomanjkanju podatkov za posamezne tekme se kaže trend zmanjševanja kršitev, pri čemer je pomemben vpliv imela tudi pandemija covida-19. Vloga policistov spotterjev se je izkazala za ključno pri ohranjanju mirnega vzdušja in učinkovitem preprečevanju incidentov.The thesis titled Use of Coercive Measures Against Crowds at Football Matches – Analysis of Matches Between NK Maribor and NK Olimpija from 2018 to 2023 examines the use of coercive measures at football matches with a high security risk. The derbies between NK Maribor and NK Olimpija are considered high-risk events that often require the presence of a large number of police officers, including members of the special police unit.
The main research question was to determine the extent and conditions under which coercive measures are used at these matches. Due to limited access to official data, the research was based on publicly available police statistics, media reports, and an interview with a police spotter, who provided insight into the preparations, security measures, and intervention procedures.
The analysis showed that the highest tensions typically arise before the start of the matches, particularly during the organized arrival of fans. At such times, police most frequently intervene to prevent physical altercations and the use of pyrotechnics. Coercive measures are rarely used, mainly in cases of serious incidents.
Although the available data did not allow for analysis of individual matches, the findings indicate a decreasing trend in violations, with the COVID-19 pandemic significantly influencing the situation. The role of police spotters proved to be crucial in maintaining a peaceful atmosphere and effectively preventing incidents
Electroolfactogram responses from organotypic cultures of the olfactory epithelium from postnatal mice
No full textOrganotypic cultures of the mouse olfactory epithelium connected to the olfactory bulb were obtained with the roller tube technique from postnatal mice aged between 13 and 66 days. To test the functionality of the cultures, we measured electroolfactograms (EOGs) at different days in vitro (DIV), up to 7 DIV, and we compared them with EOGs from identical acute preparations (0 DIV). Average amplitudes of EOG responses to 2 mixtures of various odorants at concentrations of 1 mM or 100 microM decreased in cultures between 2 and 5 DIV compared with 0 DIV. The percentage of responsive cultures was 57%. We also used the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) to trigger the olfactory transduction cascade bypassing odorant receptor activation. Average amplitudes of EOG responses to 500 microM IBMX were not significantly different in cultures up to 6 DIV or 0 DIV, and the average percentage of responsive cultures between 2 and 5 DIV was 72%. The dose-response curve to IBMX measured in cultures up to 7 DIV was similar to that at 0 DIV. Moreover, the percentage of EOG response to IBMX blocked by niflumic acid, a blocker of Ca-activated Cl channels, was not significantly different in cultured or acute preparations
Financial integration and financial development in transition economies : what happens during financial crises ?
No full textThis papers provides an empirical analysis of the role of financial development and financial integration in the growth dynamics of transition countries. We focus on the role of financial integration in determining the impact of financial development on growth, distinguishing "normal times" from periods of financial crises. In addition to confirming the significant positive effect on growth exerted by financial development and financial integration, our estimates show that a higher degree of financial openness tends to reduce the contractionary effect of financial crises, by cushioning the effect on the domestic supply of credit. Consequently, the high reliance on international capital flows by transition countries does not necessarily increase their financial fragility. This implies that financial protectionism is a self-defeating policy, at least for transition countries.Transition economies, financial integration, financial crises, economic growth, threshold effects.
Linfluence du régime de change sur linflation dans les pays adhérents
No full textExchange Rate Pass-Through in Accession Countries
by Fabrizio Coricelli , Boštjan Jazbec and Igor Masten
This paper analyzes the link between the choice of exchange rate regime and inflationary performance in four EU accession countries : the Czech Republic , Hungary , Poland and Slovenia (CEEC-4 ). The findings generate a clear ranking of the countries by magnitude of pass-through effect and the importance of exchange rate shocks to overall inflationary performance . We find , in particular , that a perfect pass-through effect associated with an accommodative exchange rate policy can become an important source of inflationary pressure . The analysis suggests that early adoption of the euro could be the most effective way for the CEEC-4 to reduce inflation . Keywords : Accession to EMU , pass-through effect , I (2 ) cointegration analysis , policy trade-offCet article analyse le lien entre le choix de régime de taux de change et la performance inflationniste dans quatre pays adhérents à l ’ UE : la République tchèque , la Hongrie , la Pologne et la Slovénie (Peco-4 ).

Crape myrtle aphid Sarucallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy 1906) and tulip-tree aphid Illinoia liriodendri (Monell 1879) – pests in urban areas
No full textU sklopu faunističkih istraživanja na ukrasnom bilju u 2014. zabilježene su u urbanim sredinama dvije nove vrste lisnih uši u Hrvatskoj: lisna uš lagerstremije Sarucallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy 1906) i lisna uš liriodendrona Illinoia liriodendri (Monell 1879) (Masten Milek et al., 2015; Pintar et al., 2015). Daljnjim istraživanjima lisna uš lagerstremije tijekom 2014. i 2015. zabilježena je na ovim lokacijama: Poreč, Rovinj, Šibenik, Dubrovnik, Turanj, Sakarun - Dugi otok, Dubrava-Šibenik i Vela Luka - Korčula. Lisna uš lagerstremije napada primarno biljke iz roda Lagerstroemia (L.), no može se naći i na biljkama iz roda Lawsonia (L.). Vrsta je podrijetlom iz jugoistočne Azije. Danas je široko rasprostranjena u svijetu. Lisna uš liriodendrona hrani se na biljci liriodendrona (Liriodendron tulipifera (L.)). Vrsta potječe iz Sjeverne Amerike. Također je široko rasprostranjena u svijetu. Tu lisnu uš za sada nismo zabilježili na novim lokacijama. Lisna uš lagerstremije i lisna uš liriodendrona strane su vrste za Europu (DAISIE, 2009).Within the fanunistic investigation on ornamental plants in 2014, two new aphids were recorded in Croatia: crape myrtle aphid Sarucallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy 1906) and tulip -tree aphid Illinoia liriodendri (Monell 1879) (Masten Milek et al., 2015; Pintar et al., 2015). In further investigation, during 2014 and 2015, crape myrtle aphid was found in Poreč, Rovinj, Šibenik, Dubrovnik, Turanj, Sakarun - Dugi Otok, Dubrava-Šibenik and Vela Luka - Kor čula. It feeds on ornamental plants from Lagerstroemia (L.) and Lawsonia (L.) genera. Aphid originates from Southeast Asia but has spread throughout the world. Tulip-tree aphid feeds on Liriodendron tulipifera (L.). It originates from North America. Aphid has been spreading across Europe and Asia. Till now, in Croatia it has been recorded only in Poreč. Crape myrtle aphid and tulip-tree aphid are alien to Europe (DAISIE, 2009)

Satisfaction and health- related quality of life in individuals with acquired brain injury
No full textPridobljena možganska okvara je vodilen vzrok smrti in invalidnosti, ki lahko popolnoma spremeni posameznikovo življenje in vpliva na njegovo kakovost. Namen magistrskega dela je bil ugotoviti, ali se različni vidiki z zdravjem povezane kakovosti življenja po pridobljeni možganski okvari povezujejo z nekaterimi demografskimi spremenljivkami, socialno oporo, zadovoljstvom z življenjem in samooceno. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 40 posameznikov s pridobljeno možgansko okvaro. Udeleženci so bili izven procesa rehabilitacije, od poškodbe je minilo vsaj eno leto. Izpolnili so naslednje vprašalnike: Kratka oblika vprašalnika o zdravju s 36 postavkami, Lestvica zadovoljstva z življenjem in Vprašalnik socialne opore. Rezultati so pokazali, da moški poročajo o več težavah, povezanih z z zdravjem povezano kakovostjo življenja kot ženske. Do razlik prihaja tudi med skupinami, razdeljenimi glede na zakonski stan, ne pa tudi med skupinami, razdeljenimi glede na najvišjo doseženo stopnjo izobrazbe. Starost, starost ob poškodbi in čas od poškodbe se statistično pomembno ne povezujejo z z zdravjem povezano kakovostjo življenja. Zadovoljstvo z življenjem se povezuje s splošnim zdravjem, duševnim zdravjem in vitalnostjo. Količina socialne opore se statistično pomembno ne povezuje z z zdravjem povezano kakovostjo življenja. Zadovoljstvo z oporo pa se povezuje s socialnim funkcioniranjem. Ugotovitve dajejo vpogled v dejavnike, ki se povezujejo z z zdravjem povezano kakovostjo življenja po pridobljeni možganski okvari, prav tako lahko predstavljajo izhodišče za ukrepe, ki so usmerjeni k izboljšanju posameznikove z zdravjem povezane kakovosti življenja po pridobljeni možganski okvari.Acquired brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability and can completely change a person\u27s life and affect their quality of life. The purpose of my master\u27s thesis was to determine whether various aspects of health-related quality of life, after acquired brain injury are associated with certain demographic variables, social support, life satisfaction and self-appraisal. 40 participants with acquired brain injury were included in the research. The participants were out of the rehabilitation process and were at least one year post-injury. They completed the following questionnaires: The Medical Outcome Study Short Form, Satisfaction With Life Scale and Social Support Questionnaire 6. The results showed that men report more health-related problems related to quality of life than women. There is also a difference between groups divided according to marital status, but not between groups divided according to the highest level of education. Age, age at injury and time since injury are not statistically significantly associated with health-related quality of life. Life satisfaction is associated with general health, mental health and vitality. While the amount of social support is not statistically significantly associated with health-related quality of life, results show that satisfaction with support is associated with social functioning. The findings provide insight into the factors associated with health-related quality of life after acquired brain injury, and can also represent a starting point for improvements, aimed at improving individuals\u27 health-related quality of life after acquired brain injury
