This master thesis deals with the economic situation in Slovenia and Croatia. It focuses on a comprehensive comparison of both countries and does not leave out the historical assumptions. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and economic. At the outset it contains framework for the functioning of the former Yugoslavia and the so-called Yugoslav-type socialism. It also discusses the nature of the two countries in terms of geography and politics, including inclusion in the international legal system. The following chapters deal with the comparison of their own transition process and highlights the mistakes committed by the countries. Finally, the work also includes a comprehensive assessment of current economic situation in Slovenia and Croatia, addressing also symptomatic problems that plague both countries.

It has previously been suggested that a person's behavior in a place is mediated by his or her plans, and by his or her emotional response to the place; but the possible interactive effects of these influences have not been explored. Not only may a particular mood be the goal of a plan, but the process of planning may also produce changes in the planner's mood. It is here argued that a person's emotional response to a place is influenced by the extent of the alterations the place requires be made in his or her plans. It has been generally assumed that a person's liking of a place is decreased if it does not fit his or her plan, but the experiments reported here indicate that some incongruity may actually increase liking of a place if the person is able to modify the plans. Three experiments examined the effects of planning on two dimensions of mood--pleasure and arousal--and for liking of places. In experiment one, subjects who had just completed planning a route for completing a list of errands reported higher arousal than subjects who had judged the time required to complete the same errands. In experiment two, subjects who executed their own plan reported higher pleasure than subjects who executed a plan they had been given. In experiment three, subjects who had to alter their plans to accommodate the unexpected features of a place reported higher arousal and pleasure, and increased liking of the place over subjects who did not have to re-plan. These results suggest that the process of planning has measureable effects on mood and that these effects influence place-liking. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate

L'objectif de cette étude consiste en la caractérisation de types de discours dans des situations de travail. Nous avons tenté de définir des types de discours à partir de critères linguistiques et en considérant les cadres actionnels qui sous-tendent les discours. Dans un premier temps, nous précisons le cadre théorique et méthodologique de notre travail en nous positionnant sur le concept de « type de discours » que nous différencions de celui de « genre ». En outre, pour définir notre cadre théorique, nous avons mené une réflexion sur l'histoire de la place du langage dans les activités de travail depuis le XVIIè siècle, et nous nous sommes appuyée sur des analyses de pratiques langagières en situation de travail menées au sein de différentes disciplines. À partir de ce cadre théorique pluridisciplinaire, nous avons pu développer une méthodologie pour le recueil et la constitution de corpus et une méthodologie d'analyse fondée sur un découpage séquentiel des discours. Notre recherche a fait sept types de séquence regroupés en trois types linguistiques (langage expositif, langage de co-action et langage péri-professionnel) et correspondant à trois types de discours (langage sur le travail, langage comme travail et langage dans le travail). Chaque type de séquence est caractérisé par des critères linguistiques récurrents soumis à une analyse qualitative et quantitative. Le type de séquence dominant détermine le type linguistique majeur et donc le type de discours. Cette analyse, couplée avec une analyse du cadre actionnel des activités, nous permet de mettre en évidence l?interdépendance entre langage et activité, et nous conduit à caractériser des types de discours en lien avec le type d'activité. / The purpose of this study is to characterise the types of discourse to be found in work situations. I have tried to define discourse types on the basis of linguistic criteria, taking into account the "actional frameworks" that underpin the discourse. Firstly I have outlined the theoretical and methodological framework of my research and I have opted for the concept of "discourse types" as distinct from "genres". To further develop my theoretical framework, I have investigated the history of language in the workplace since the 17th century with the help of analyses of language practice in work situations in different disciplines. On the basis of this multidisciplinary theoretical framework, I have developed a methodology for the constitution of my corpus and for an analysis based on a sequential division of the discourse. My research has identified seven types of discourse sequences based on three linguistic types (expository language, co-actional language and peri-professional language). Each type of sequence is characterised by recurring linguistic criteria which have been subjected to qualitative and quantitative analyses. The predominant type of sequence determines the major linguistic type and therefore the discourse type. This analysis, in conjunction with an analysis of the "actional framework" of the activities, has revealed the interdependence of language and activity and led to a characterisation of discourse types in relation to types of activity.

The purpose of the thesis is to provide more knowledge about the belief in the future for youths. In order to analyze the issue, the thesis done through quantitative methods. It seeks to answer the questions “is there a connection between high school students’ perceived economic situation and their belief in their future regarding work” and “is there a connection between high school students’ perceived economic situation and their future beliefs regarding education?”. The conclusions were reached by a secondary analysis with a data material from a report named “Barns och ungdomars hälsa I Kronobergs län” (children’s and youth’s health in the district of Kronoberg) by Ingrid Edvarsson and Lena Lendahls (2010). The analysis is done with various concepts created by Pierre Bourdieu, for instance, capitals, habitus, reproductions strategy and the family feeling. This theoretical framework and these concepts were chosen since they discuss how a social background affects life which is what was being investigated. There were 2238 participants in the study from all municipalities in the district of Kronoberg. My results show that there are statistical significant connections between youths’ beliefs in future depending on their economic situation Therefore, my result correspond with my hypothesis and the results correspond to Bourdieu’s theory.

Som en konsekvens av covid-19 pandemin som drabbade världen under 2020 ställde många arbetsplatser om till distansarbete i syfte att minska smittspridning. Arbetsförmedlingen i Värmland var en av de arbetsplatserna och den här uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka upplevelsen av distansarbetet under coronapandemin bland arbetsförmedlare i Värmland. Studien har genomförts genom 12 djupintervjuer med arbetsförmedlare som sedan har analyserats genom tematisk analys.  Resultatet av studien visar att distansarbete erbjuder effektivitet och flexibilitet vilket upplevs ge stora fördelar för både arbetsliv och privatliv. Distansjobb kan dock också skapa en upplevelse av problem med gränsdragning mellan privatliv och arbetsliv och till yrkesmässig och social isolering.  För en del har upplevelsen förändrats över tid från en känsla av möjlighet till en känsla av tvång, vilket kan särskilja distansarbete under coronapandemin från självvalt distansarbete. Således visar studien att arbetsgivare och arbetstagare kan ha mycket att vinna på distansarbete men att det finns många parametrar att ta hänsyn till, inte minst individuella variationer i hur distansjobb upplevs.

The aim of this work is evaluate usual time and frequency of selected traffic situations observation by the driver. A necessary part of this problem is a driver in this context is described herein personality driver and psychological factors that affect it during the process of driving in traffic. The important part is played by visual system driver and his perception of stimuli. The thesis also outlines the problems concerning the importance of transport routes, its environment and transport vehicle for drivers. The practical part is devoted to the evaluation of video recordings in the field driving tests on the basis of which it was possible to determine the frequency and duration of glances in selected situations in traffic.

Malaria is a deadly disease transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito in many tropical and subtropical regions. This disease kills more 500 000 people annually, yet these deaths can be prevented if malaria is diagnosed timeously and treated effectively. Despite many initiatives to fight this disease, the incidence of malaria remains high in the Mutale Municipality in the Limpopo Province where the majority of malaria cases have been diagnosed over the past decade. This study aimed to explore the current status of health education for the prevention and control of malaria in primary schools in the Ha-Makuya Village, Vhembe District in the Mutale Municipality. The possible existence of educational strategies in place to promote malaria awareness in schools was investigated. It was assumed that strategies such as collaboration between the Departments of Health and Education on health education, and policy provision on the topic could lead to children learning about malaria prevention and control, and in turn, inform their parents, leading to the broader community practicing preventive measures, leading to the reduction and eventual elimination of malaria in endemic areas. A qualitative research approach was employed in this study, informed by the interprevist paradigm, using a case study. Data was collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders in this matter, such as principals, teachers, nurses and a district official, in order to gain an understanding of their views on and perception of this disease, and to gauge their knowledge on practices to promote malaria awareness through health education. Existing policies were also analysed to examine possible content on this matter. It was found that even though some of the stakeholders’ knowledge on malaria-related issues was lacking, their attitude towards prevention strategies was positive. It was further found that, even though some effort was being made to work together, collaboration between the stakeholders was at best tenuous. Policy was also found to be lacking on provisions for the successful implementation of health education programmes for the prevention and control of malaria in schools. Recommendations to address these issues were made to the Departments of Health and Education, principals, teachers, policy-makers, as well as for further study. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Early Childhood Education / MEd / Unrestricted

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to describe situation awareness (SA) among licensed practical nurses (LPNs) working in direct patient care. Specific Aims: The specific aims for this study are 1) to examine SA scores, as measured by the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT), in LPNs working in direct patient care and compare to published data on SA in registered nurses (RNs), 2) to examine the relationship between SA scores and years of LPN experience, 3) to examine differences in SA scores by type of workplace setting and 4) to describe the relationship between levels of satisfaction with simulation, as measured by the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience Scale (SSES) and SA scores among LPNs. Framework: Situation Awareness Theory, as described by Endsley, was used as the framework for this study. Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive design using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique was used to gather data from a convenience sample of LPNs. Results: LPNs (N=24) participated in the study and achieved an average SAGAT score of 72.6%. There were no differences in scores between those LPNs enrolled in an RN program and those who were not enrolled. Individual scores on the SAGAT were comparable or better than scores in a similar study of RNs. Conclusion: LPNs in this study demonstrated adequate situation awareness. Key Words: Situation awareness, licensed practical nurse, patient deterioration, clinical simulation
