Prema mnogim autorima, pojam mladih sve se češće spominje u suvremeno doba, a mladost predstavlja period u životu pojedinca između djetinjstva i zrelosti. S obzirom da se u mladosti osobe suočavaju s mnogo problema zbog velikih očekivanja okoline koje mladi ne mogu ispuniti radi ekonomskih i socijalnih razlika, dolazi do pojačane potrebe razvitka koncepta rada s mladima. U Republici Hrvatskoj rad s mladima još nije potpuno koncipiran, još ni jedna struka nije posvetila svoj rad proučavanju rada s mladima te postoji određeno neslaganje prilikom prevođenja termina rada s mladima. U fokusu rada s mladima jest mladim ljudima ponuditi platformu za njihovo ostvarivanje te usvajanje kompetencija da postanu produktivni članovi svoje zajednice. S obzirom da rad s mladima još nije potpuno zaživio u Hrvatskoj, vrlo je važno imati uvid koliko su doista mladi angažirani unutar svoje zajednice. Stoga, fokus ovoga rada jest na civilnom angažmanu mladih unutar lokalnih zajednica. Postoji mnogo definicija civilnog angažmana, ono što civilni angažman obuhvaća razlikuje se od autora do autora te od države do države, no svi se slažu kako civilni angažman kao koncept poziva na djelovanje te od njega koristi ima cjelokupno društvo kao i pojedinac (stjecanjem iskustava, razvijanjem vještina i kompetencija, osjećaja empatije, solidarnosti te potrebu za promjenom). Zbog raznih definicija civilnog angažmana, prethodnih istraživanja civilnog angažmana kakav se u ovom radu istraživao nema mnogo, no ima mnogo istraživanja koja su se bavila određenim dijelovima onoga što civilni angažman predstavlja u ovom radu. Pretraživanjem literature, uočeno je kako ne postoji ni mnogo istraživanja civilnog angažmana na otocima RH, stoga, sukladno navedenom, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je steći uvid u civilni angažman mladih otoka Krka u svojoj lokalnoj zajednici, s naglaskom na njihove potrebe, interese i perspektive. U istraživanju sudjelovalo je 77 ispitanika, u dobi između 18 i 30 godina, s prebivalištem/boravištem na otoku Krku te je istraživanje provedeno u 2021. godini. Rezultati istraživanja prikazuju kako je u prosjeku jako mali broj mladih osoba s otoka Krka civilno angažiran, iskazuju potrebu za većom uključenošću unutar svoje zajednice, kao i za većom ponudom sadržaja/aktivnosti/prostora za mlade., According to many authors, the concept of youth is mentioned more often in modern times, while youth represents the period in an individual's life between childhood and maturity. Given that people face many problems in their youth due to the high expectations of the society that young people cannot fulfill due to economic and social differences, there is an increased need to develop the concept of youth work. In the Republic of Croatia, youth work has not yet been fully conceptualized, not a single profession has yet dedicated its work to the study of youth work, and there is some disagreement when translating the term youth work. The focus of youth work is to offer young people a platform for their realization and the acquisition of competencies to become productive members of their community. Given that youth work has not yet fully taken root in Croatia, it is very important to have an insight into how engaged young people really are within their community. Therefore, the focus of this work is on the civic engagement of young people within local communities. There are many definitions of civic engagement, what civic engagement includes differs from author to author and from country to country, but everyone agrees that civic engagement as a concept calls for action and benefits the entire society as well as the individual (by gaining experience, developing skills and competences, feelings of empathy, solidarity and the need for change). Due to the various definitions of civic engagement, there are not many previous studies of civic engagement as investigated in this paper, but there are many studies that have dealt with certain parts of civic engagement represented in this paper. Searching the literature, it was observed that there is not much research on civic engagement on the islands of the Republic of Croatia, therefore, in accordance with the above, the goal of this research was to gain insight into the civic engagement of young people on the island of Krk in their local community, with an emphasis on their needs, interests and perspectives. 77 respondents, between the ages of 18 and 30, residing on the island of Krk participated in the research, and the research was conducted in 2021. The research results show that, on average, a very small number of young people from the island of Krk are civically engaged, expressing the need for greater involvement within their community, as well as for a greater offer of content/activities/spaces for young people.

Društvene mreže se definiraju kao virtualni prostori koji međusobno povezuju korisnike uz mogućnost stvaranja jedinstvenih profila na kojima se često prikazuje željena slika o sebi. Smatraju se sastavnim djelom života današnjice, a broj korisnika neprestano raste. U ovom radu prikazat će se nalazi stranih i domaćih istraživanja o ulozi i utjecaju koju društvene mreže imaju na različite segmente života kao što su mentalno zdravlje i kvaliteta života mladih ljudi kao specifične skupine nazvane još i „generacijom Z“. U kontekstu mentalnog zdravlja, istraživanja se najčešće usredotočuju na konstrukte poput depresivnosti, anksioznosti, samopoštovanja, te u novije vrijeme i straha od propuštanja. Prikazat će se rezultati istraživanja koja daju odgovore kojim se mrežama mladi današnjice koriste i kako iste utječu na pojedince s različitim individualnim karakteristikama te na njihove ljubavne odnose. Nakon vodstva društvene mreže Facebook, na prvom mjestu po broju korisnika prema novijim podacima našao se Instagram, a predviđaju se daljnje promjene kao i nove mreže. Na posljetku, cilj je ovog rada dati uvid u moguće štetne posljedice i rizike koju česta upotreba interneta može imati na mlađu populaciju., Social networks are defined as virtual spaces that connects users to each other with the ability to create unique profiles that often shows wanted image of yourself. They are considered as essential part of today's life, and the number of users is constantly growing. This paper will present foreign and domestic research on the roles and impact which social networks have on different segments of life such as mental health and quality of life of young people as a special group also called "Generation Z". In the context of mental health, research most often focuses on constructions such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and more recently, the fear of missing out. There will be presented results of many research that provide answers to which social networks young people today are using the most and how they affect adolescents with different individual characteristics and their impact on love relationships. After the leadership of the social network Facebook, Instagram is now in the first place in terms of the number of users according to the new data. Further changes are predicted, as well as new networks. Finally, the aim of this paper is to provide insight into the possible harmful consequences and risks that frequent use of the Internet may have on the younger population.

Iseljavanje je pojava koja se javlja u Hrvatskoj već duži niz godina. Fenomen migracija tako nije ništa novo, no problem ovog rada nije iseljavanje kao takvo, već iseljavanje mladih i obrazovanih ljudi. Mladi se odlučuju na preseljenje u neku drugu državu u potrazi za većim prilikama, boljom budućnosti i boljim životom. U ovom radu analizirati ću konkretne motive koji su poticaj za taj odlazak. Kao važan fenomen i potencijalan problem današnjice, smatram kako se migracije nedovoljno istražuje i ne posvećuje se dovoljno pažnje za sprečavanje tog procesa. Na temelju metode analize sadržaja i provedenih intervjua sa ljudima koji su trajno preselili u neku drugu državu iz Hrvatske, odgovorila sam na istraživačko pitanje koje glasi: Koje su motivacije mladih ljudi za iseljavanje iz Hrvatske?, a pretpostavljena teza je bila da su push faktori, tj. potisni faktori kao što su loši ekonomski uvjeti, nezaposlenost, društvena neravnopravnost i slični elementi 'vodeći' u odluci o odlasku te sam to i potvrdila. Cilj ovog rada je bilo utvrditi koji su to motivi koji mlade potiču na iseljavanje iz domovine i tako istražiti zabrinjavajući trend iseljavanja mladih. U istraživanje su bile uključene osobe u dobi od 20 do 30 godina, sa završenim srednjoškolskim i visokoškolskim obrazovanjem koji su trajno iselili iz Hrvatske., Emigration has been a phenomenon that has been occurring in Croatia for many years. The phenomenon of migration is thus nothing new, but the problem of this work is not emigration as such, but the emigration of young and educated people. Young people decide to move to another country in search of greater opportunities, a better future, and a better life. In this paper, I will analyze the specific motives that are the impetus for this departure. As an important phenomenon and a potential problem of today, I believe that migration is insufficiently researched, and not enough attention is paid to prevent that process. Based on the method of content analysis and interviews with people who have permanently moved to another country from Croatia, I answered a research question that reads: What are the motivations of young people to emigrate from Croatia ?, and the assumed thesis was that push factors, i.e. push factors such as poor economic conditions, unemployment, social inequality and similar elements are ‘leading’ in the decision to leave and I have confirmed this. The aim of this paper was to determine the motives that motivate young people to emigrate from their homeland and thus to investigate the worrying trend of emigration of young people. The research included persons aged 20 to 30, with completed secondary and higher education who permanently emigrated from Croatia.

Ovaj rad se bavi osobom Djevice Marije, Majke Božje. Prvi dio rada donosi pregled proglašenja četiriju marijanskih dogma donesenih kroz crkvenu povijest, uz objašnjavanje okolnosti njihova nastanka. Uz proglašenje dogma, spominje se i neprekinuta važnost koju su Blaženoj Djevici davali crkveni oci od najranijih dana crkvene povijesti. Sve to s ciljem da se ukaže kako je Marija oduvijek imala važnu ulogu u životu Crkve, od njezinih najranijih dana. Drugi dio rada donosi određene razloge za čašćenje Djevice Marije, te kako Marija i danas ostaje bitna poveznica ljudi, posebice mladih, sa Spasiteljem. Uz to se spominje i Marijina uloga u Crkvi danas, te važnost pridavanja iste pozornosti Djevici u današnje vrijeme kako je to i nekad bilo. This paper deals with the person of Mary, Mother of God. The first part of the paper introduces four Marian dogma as they were proclaimed through the Church's history, alongside the explanation of circumstances of their proclamation. Along with the dogma, the continuous importance which was given to the Blessed Virgin by the holy fathers from the earlies days of Church's history, is also mentioned. The aim of this paper was to point to the fact that Mary has always had an important role in the life of the Church, ever since its beginnings. The second part of the paper brings forth some specific reasons as to why Mary should be honored, as well as why Mary is still an important link of the people, especially young ones, with the Savior. Mary's role in the Church today is also mentioned, as well as the importance of giving her the same attention as she had before.

Nasilje djece i mladih u krugu obitelji i nad roditeljima predstavlja rastući fenomen u društvu, točnije istraživanja pokazuju da je unazad nekoliko godina nasilje nad roditeljima poraslo za 40% (Fernandez, 2017; prema Erostarbe, Martinez i Astondoa, 2018) te da je u prosjeku 20% adolescenata nasilno prema roditeljima (CPV - Practical guide, 2019). Etiološki razlozi za porast ovog ponašanja su: primjena permisivnog odgojnog stila, izloženost djeteta nasilju i traumatskim iskustvima, raširenost nasilja u medijima, ponašanja specifična za adolescentsku dob (vršnjački utjecaj, zlouporaba alkohola i droga) i sl. (CPV – Practical guide, 2019). U Hrvatskoj, Zloković (2009) također upozorava na pojavnost velike tamne brojke prijava nasilja djece nad roditeljima. Nasilje nad roditeljima zahtijeva senzibiliziranje javnosti, primjenu preventivnih intervencija te odabir odgovarajućeg tretmanskog programa. Kako se radi o maloljetnim počiniteljima kaznenog djela nasilja u obitelji, jedna od mogućih odgojnih mjera jest posebna obveza uključivanja u individualni ili grupni psihosocijalni tretman. Grupni rad je metoda rada čiji je cilj pomoći pojedincu da u sklopu grupnog iskustva, unaprijedi svoje psihosocijalno funkcioniranje da bi djelotvornije riješio osobne i socijalne probleme te razvio vještine i znanja važne za bolje razumijevanje sebe, drugih ljudi i zajednice u kojoj živi (Žižak i sur., 2011). Adolescentima je bitan vršnjački kontekst i grupni feedback, stoga grupni program služi kao prigodan okvir za razvoj pojedinca, ali i grupe u cjelini. Temeljni cilj ovog rada je kreirati grupni program rada s mladima koji su (bili) nasilni u obiteljskom kontekstu. Izrada programa rada temeljit će se na dva glavna principa: prikazu postojećih programa grupnog rada te procjeni potreba i analizi stanja u Hrvatskoj - prateći preporuke stručnjaka koji rade s maloljetnim počiniteljima nasilja u obitelji (informacije prikupljene putem polustrukturiranog intervjua). Pri razradi, pratit će se prijedlog planiranja grupnog programa autorice Ajduković (1997): utvrđivanje potreba, definiranje svrhe i ciljeva, utvrđivanje organizacijskog okruženja, odabir pristupa rada, identificiranje potencijalnih članova, inicijalni kontakt s članovima, sastavljanje grupe, motiviranje, priprema okoline i utvrđivanje načina evaluacije. Vrijednost izrade programa za maloljetne počinitelje obiteljskog nasilja očituje se u rastućem broju nasilnih incidenata te nedostatku tretmanskih, specijaliziranih programa u hrvatskom kontekstu., Child to parent violence has become a concerning issue in the society, studies show that in the past few years violence towards parents has increased by 40% (Fernandez, 2017; according to Erostarbe, Martinez and Astondoa, 2018). On average 20% of adolescents are violent to their parents (CPV - A practical guide, 2019). The etiological reasons for such behavior are: permissive parenting style, child’s exposure to previous violence and trauma, exposure to media violence and adolescent behaviors (peer pressure, alcohol and drug abuse) (CPV - A practical guide, 2019). In Croatia, Zloković (2009) reports and warns of a dramatic, large number of reports of adolescent to parent violence. Violence against parents requires public awareness and reaction in terms of the implementation of preventive interventions and the selection of an effective treatment program. Considering that offenders of this form of domestic abuse are minors, one of the possible criminal justice system sentences is an obligatory participation in an individual or group psychosocial treatment program. Group work refers to a method of work that includes working with several individuals, helping them change or deal with a long-lasting problem they are encountering, guided by a therapist or counselor. In a group setting, people learn to solve personal and group problems and develop important skills and knowledge to function better and understand others and the community they live in (Žižak et al., 2011). Adolescents are susceptible to peer pressure and they value feedback from others, meaning a group treatment program serves as a suitable environment. The aim of this paper is to create a group program for the young population that is (or has been) violent in their family homes. The structure of the paper is based on two main principles: review and presentation of existing group work programs and assessment and analysis of the situation in Croatia (regarding child to parent violence). In order to get insight and to gather information, semi structured interviews will be held with experts and professionals working with troubled youth. Development of the program will follow Adjuković’s group program planning method (1987): identification of needs, definition of purpose and goals, organizational environment, work approach, selection of potential participants, initial contact with the participants, group formation and the evaluation of the program. The value and importance of creating a program for children violent to parents is reflected in the growing number of violent incidents and the absence of such specialized programs in Croatia.

Ruralni mladi jedna su od prioritetnih skupina u okviru europskih politika za mlade te sastavni dio teorije neoendogenog razvoja. Cilj ovog članka je analizirati djelovanje organizacija mladih i za mlade (OMM) u ruralnom području Ličko-senjske i Zadarske županije te u kojoj su mjeri one aktivni sudionik u lokalnom razvoju te s kojim se preprekama suočavaju. Koristeći metodološki okvir studije slučaja, članak prikazuje nalaze polustrukturiranih intervjua s ključnim akterima civilnog društva koji rade s mladima na istraživanom području kroz pregled aktivnosti i projekata koje provode te analizu prepreka i perspektiva za daljini razvoj aktera koji rade s mladima. OMM se često suočavaju s nerazumijevanjem jedinica lokalne i regionalne samouprave pri čemu se zanemaruje demokratski potencijal suradnje aktera u lokalnom, kulturnom, ekonomskom i političkom razvoju predmetnih zajednica. Nadalje, nalazi pokazuju da područja Zadarske i Ličko-senjske županije ne baštine praksu neoendogenog razvoja budući da potencijal i doprinos navedenih udruga nije prepoznat čime se ograničava mogućnost sudjelovanja mladih u donošenju politika za mlade, a posredno i destimulira njihov ostanak u ruralnim područjima., Rural youth are one of the priority groups within the European youth policies and an essential part of the theory of neo-endogenous development. The aim of this paper is to analyse the agency of youth organizations in rural areas of Lika-Senj and Zadar County, and to determine to what extent they are an active participant of the local development and which obstacles they are facing. By employing the case study methodological framework, the paper presents findings of semi-structured interviews with key civil society actors working with youth in the examined area, through an overview of their activities and projects, and analysis of obstacles and perspectives for further development of actors working with youth. Youth organizations often face a lack of understanding of the local and regional self-government units, whereby the democratic potential of collaboration among actors in the local, cultural, economic and political development of these communities is neglected. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the areas of Zadar and Lika-Senj County do not practice neo-endogenous development, because the potential and contribution of the mentioned organizations is not recognized, thus constraining the opportunity for youth to participate in youth policy-making, and indirectly destimulating them to stay in rural areas.

Rad se bavi utjecajem sociodemografskih i društvenih faktora na migracijske aspiracije mladih u Hrvatskoj u 2012. i 2018. godini te komparacijom migracijskih aspiracija mladih iz Hrvatske s migracijskim aspiracijama mladih u 2018. godini iz 9 zemalja jugoistočne Europe (Albanija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Bugarska, Crna Gora, Kosovo, Rumunjska, Sjeverna Makedonija, Slovenija i Srbija). Prezentirani nalazi rezultat su projekta koje je provela Zaklada Friedrich Ebert u navedenim zemljama. Regresijskim modelom na uzorku mladih u 2012. u Hrvatskoj pokazano je da su pojedine sociodemografske karakteristike (dob, obrazovanje, tip naselja te planiranje izvanbračne veze) najvažniji prediktori migracijskih aspiracija. U 2018. godini uz dob, migracijske aspiracije iskazuju ispitanici prema svim stupnjevima obrazovanja te mladi iz manjih gradova. Stavovi mladih prema budućnosti Hrvatske relativno su konzistentni; pokazuje se da su 2012. odlasku bili najskloniji oni koji su gospodarsku situaciju u Hrvatsku vidjeli jednakom ili lošijom, dok su u 2018. godini aspiracije pokazivali mladi koji su budućnost hrvatskog društva percipirali lošijom. Nezadovoljstvo stanjem demokracije u 2018. bilo je statistički značajno. Ukupno gledano, mladi iz svih zemalja jugoistočne Europe dominantno iskazuju migracijske aspiracije zbog želje za poboljšanjem životnog standarda, viših plaća i boljih mogućnosti zapošljavanja, što je osobito prisutno u Bosni i Hercegovini, Rumunjskoj i Sjevernoj Makedoniji. Bolje obrazovanje u znatno manjoj mjeri glavni je motiv za preseljenje u drugu zemlju . U regresijskom modelu najkonzistentnijim prediktorom pokazao se pogled na budućnost društva uz ostale prediktore koji se razlikuju s obzirom na analizirane zemlje., The paper deals with the influence of individual and contextual factors on the emigration aspirations of young people in Croatia, and with a comparison of the emigration aspirations of young people from Croatia in 2018 with young people from nine European Central and Eastern countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Kosovo, Romania, North Macedonia, Slovenia and Serbia). The insights presented in the paper are the result of a project carried out by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in the mentioned countries. A comparison of emigration aspirations in 2018 suggests that young people from Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Slovenia show lower aspirations than young people from countries that are not members of the European Union: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Serbia. The applied regression model on the sample of young in 2012 in Croatia points that certain sociodemographic characteristics (age, education, type of settlement and planning extramarital relationship) are the most important predictors of migration aspirations. In 2018, in addition to age, migration aspirations were expressed by respondents according to all levels of education and young people from smaller towns. Young people’s attitudes towards the future of Croatia are relatively consistent; it shows that in 2012 those who saw the economic situation in Croatia as the same or worse were the most inclined to leave, while in 2018 aspirations were shown by young people who perceived the future of Croatian society to be worse. Dissatisfaction with the state of democracy was statistically significant in 2018. In general, young people from all countries of Southeast Europe dominantly express migration aspirations due to the desire to improve living standards, higher wages and better employment opportunities, which is especially present in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania and North Macedonia. To a much lesser extent, the main motive for moving to another country is better education. In the regression model, the view on the future of society was the most consistent predictor, along with other predictors that differ according to the analyzed countries.

U ovom radu istražuje se privrženost mjestu na primjeru učenika trećih i četvrtih razreda srednjih škola na području Vukovarsko-srijemske županije. Cilj je istraživanja utvrditi u kojoj mjeri populacija mladih iskazuje privrženost naselju te u kojoj mjeri percepcija kvalitete materijalnih uvjeta života u naselju, socijalne kohezije, osjećaj sigurnosti te vrijednosti utječu na iskazivanje njihove privrženosti naselju. Istraživanje je potvrdilo hipotezu prema kojoj socijalna kohezija biva značajno povezana s privrženosti mjestu. Pokazalo se i da je ova varijabla u većoj mjeri utjecala na privrženost mjestu u odnosu spram aspekata kvalitete materijalnih uvjeta života u naselju. Osim toga, pokazalo se da su i vrijednosti ispitanika povezane s privrženosti mjestu, pri čemu su oni skloni tradicionalnim vrijednostima pokazivali veću privrženost mjestu., This paper explores place attachment on the example of students from the third and fourth grades of high school in the area of Vukovar-Syrmia County. The objective of the research is to determine the degree of place attachment shown by young people, as well as the degree to which the perception of material conditions of life, social cohesion, and values influence the way they show their attachment. In this paper, we talk about place attachment as a part of territorial identity and we discuss the ways it is affected by other important elements of life in a certain territory, but also the values. The research has confirmed the thesis that social cohesion has a significant connection to place attachment. It has also been shown that this variable influenced place attachment to a higher degree than different aspects of material conditions of life in a certain place. Also, it is shown that subjects' values impact place attachment, where subjects with traditional values showed a higher degree of place attachment.

Mladi su neophodan resurs ruralnih zajednica koji postaje ugrožen uslijed značajnog trenda iseljavanja s ruralnih područja. Pretežno mladi sele za boljim poslovnim mogućnostima, zbog nedostatka kulturnog i zabavnog sadržaja te sužene mogućnosti ostvarenja vlastitih potencijala. Karlovačka županija kao pretežno ruralna i podložna egzodusu mladih čini savršen teren za provedbu istraživanja. Prvi dio rada je teorijski okvir istraživanja te pregled dosadašnje literature na temu mladih u ruralnim područjima. Drugi dio rada, empirijski, proveden je kvalitativnom metodom polustrukturiranog telefonskog intervjua s 15 sugovornika iz pojedine općine ili grada županije. Cilj rada je utvrditi zadovoljstvo mladih životom na selu u Karlovačkoj županiji kroz prednosti i nedostatke te je cilj odrediti motive za ostanak ili odlazak sa sela. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako su mladi skloni seliti se zbog nedostatka posla i nemogućnosti ostvarenja vlastitih potencijala. Također, rezultati pokazuju kako je kvaliteta života u općinama različita te mlade uz selo veže neobjašnjiv osjećaj privrženosti zbog kojeg i biraju ostati u istom. Youth are a necessary resource of rural communities, which is becoming endangered due to a significant trend of emigration from rural areas. Mostly young people move for better business opportunities, due to the lack of cultural and entertainment content and narrowed opportunities to realize their potential. Karlovac County, as predominantly rural and subject to the exodus of young people, is the perfect terrain for conducting research. The first part of the paper is a theoretical framework of research and a review of current literature on youth in rural areas. The second part of the paper, empirically, was conducted by a qualitative method of semi-structured telephone interview with 15 respondents from a particular municipality or town county. The aim of this paper is to determine the satisfaction of young people with life in the countryside in Karlovac County through the advantages and disadvantages, and the aim is to determine the motives for staying or leaving the village. The results of the research showed that young people tend to move due to lack of work and inability to realize their potential. Also, the results show that the quality of life in the municipalities is different and young people have an inexplicable sense of attachment to the village, which is why they choose to stay in it.

Mlade osobe, koje su tek izašle iz sustava obrazovanja po prvi put se susreću s tržištem rada koji im omogućuje osamostaljenje, ozbiljnije planiranje budućnosti, a koje se ne odnosi na studentske poslove koji često nisu vezani uz studij koji pohađaju. U tom trenu mladi se nerijetko suočavaju sa fricijskom ili privremenom nezaposlenosti. Obrazovanje bi trebalo biti odskočna daska u ulasku u svijet rada i pronalasku posla, ali to ne mora biti pravilo zbog neusklađenosti ponude poslova i potražnje za radnom snagom, ili upravo zbog nedavne situacije globalne pandemije koja je uznemirila već tada nestabilno tržište rada. Strukturne promjene uvode se raznim mjerama i poticajima, koji uvoze iz Europske unije kako bi se mladima u bilo kojoj članici omogućilo zapošljavanje. Osim gospodarskih ciljeva, sve veću prednost i važnost pridaje se socijalnoj politici, u koju spadaju i politike zapošljavanja, suzbijanja socijalne isključenosti, siromaštva i slično. Od dokumenata se istiću Garancija za mlade, Mladi i kreativni, Mladi u pokretu te kao glavni putokat Europski stup socijalnih prava, između ostaloga koji su i u ovom radu pobliže razmatrani. Navedeni dokumenti ne garantiraju zapošljavanje mladih već služe kao mjere za povećanje zapošljivosti i kompetencija mladih, ali i smjernice za zavode za zapošljavanje i poslodavce. Obzirom na razlikovanje tržišta i gospodarstva, svaka država članica personalizira mjere prema uputama iz dokumenata i prema svojim mogućnostima, a neki primjeri su navedeni u ovom radu., Young people, who have just left the education system are encountering the labor market for the fist time that allows them independence, more serious planning of the future, and that does not apply to student jobs that are often not related to the study they attend. At that point they usually face friction or temporary unemployment. Education should be a stepping stone to entering the world of work and finding a job, but thins does not have to be a rule due to mismatch between job supply and labor demand, or precisely because of recent global pandemic that has discompose the already wobble labour market. Structural changes are introduces through various measures and incentives, which are imported from the European union to provide employment for young people in any member state. In addition to economic aims, increasing priority and importance is given to social policy, which includes policies of employment, combating social exclusion, poverty or similar. Among the documents, The Youth Guarantee, Young and creative, Youth in Action and the European Pillar of Social Rights stand out as the main path, among others which are discussed more detail in this paper. These documents does not guarantee youth employment but serve as measures to increase the employability and competences of youth, but also as guidelines to employment services and employers. Given the distinction between the market and the economy, each member state personalizes the measures according to the instructions in the documents and according to its capabilities, some examples are given in this paper.

Ekonomska kriza koja je započela 2008. godine, rapidno se proširila područjem cijele Europe ostavljajući znatan utjecaj na povećanje stope nezaposlenih. Mladi su jedna od skupina koja je tijekom krize najviše pogođena nezaposlenošću. Postoje mnoge posebnosti koje mlade čine vrlo ranjivima na tržištu rada. Cilj ovog rada jest dati sveobuhvatan prikaz nezaposlenosti mladih u Hrvatskoj i Europskoj Uniji. Prikazati će se zbog čega su mladi toliko ranjivi i koje zajedničke karakteristike imaju, a po kojima su vrlo heterogena grupa. Pružiti će se uvid u NEET populaciju i prikazati će se razlozi zbog kojih nastaje pojava odljeva mozgova. Rad će ponuditi i određenu perspektivu za mlade u Hrvatskoj i Europskoj uniji, a sam kraj rada će prikazati i akutnu krizu povezanu s virusom COVID-19., The economic crisis which began in 2008 spread rapidly throughout Europe leaving a significant impact on the increase in the unemployment rate. Young people are one of the groups most affected by unemployment during the crisis. There are many peculiarities that make young people very vulnerable in the labor market. The aim of this paper is to give a comprehensive overview of youth unemployment in Croatia and the European Union. It will be shown why young people are so vulnerable, what common characteristics they have and what makes them a very heterogeneous group. An insight into the NEET population will be provided, the reasons for the occurrence of brain drain will be presented and the paper will offer and determine the prospect for young people in Croatia and the European Union. At the very end of the paper, the acute crisis will be shown associated with the COVID-19 virus.

Seksualno nasilje u suvremenom društvu predstavlja značajan problem koji se ukorijenio u gotovo sve razine života pojedinaca, odnosno koji se može pojaviti bez obzira u kojem se okruženju, društvu ili situaciji pojedinac (žrtva) nalazi. Ono, između ostalog, spada pod najteže oblike rodno uvjetovanog nasilja u kojem su žene najčešće žrtve, a muškarci počinitelji nasilja. Uz spol, važan prediktor seksualnog nasilja je i dob. Naime, istraživanja koja su spomenuta u ovome radu, ukazuju na problematiku seksualnog nasilja među i nad mladima i djecom koji spadaju pod posebno ranjive društvene skupine. Istraživanja, također, ukazuju na veliku rasprostranjenost seksualnog nasilja nad mladima, zbog čega je cilj ovog rada napraviti pregled istraživanja koja govore o fenomenologiji i prevalenciji seksualnog nasilja nad ovom skupinom. Takvim se ciljem nastoji pružiti uvid i dublje razumijevanje dosadašnjih spoznaja o seksualnom nasilju među mladima i nad mladima kao žrtvama., Sexual violence is a significant problem in modern society, rooted in almost every aspect of life. In other words, it can occur regardless of the environment, society or situation in which an individual (victim) may find themselves in. Among other things, sexual violence is one of the most severe forms of gender-based violence, where women are the most frequent victims and men the perpetrators of violence. In addition to gender, age is also an important predictor of sexual violence. The studies mentioned in this paper point to the issue of sexual violence among and against the youth and children who belong to particularly vulnerable social groups. Studies also indicate a high prevalence of sexual violence against youth, which is why the main objective of this paper is to make a review of studies which are based on the phenomenology and prevalence of sexual violence against this group. Such objective seeks to provide insight and deeper understanding of current knowledge about sexual violence among and against youth.

Tema ovog završnog rada je istraţivanje New wave i Black metal glazbe, cilj rada je na temelju tih stilova razviti hibridnu kolekciju odjeće. U prvom dijelu rada radu su opisane subkulture i njihov utjecaj na društvo fokusirajući se na mlade, rock izvoĊaĉe. Objašnjeni su New wave i Black metal kao glazbeni pravac i odjeća koja je karakteristiĉna za svaki pravac posebno. U eksperimentalnom dijelu rada prikazana je hibridna kolekcija odjeće koja spaja oba glazbena pravca te je izraĊena i konstrukcija., The topic of this final paper is the research of New wave and Black metal music, where the goal is to develop a hybrid fashion collection based on these styles. In first part of this paper, I described subcultures and ther inpact on society focusing on young, rock preformers. I explaned New wave and Black metal as musical direction and type of clothing that is characteristical for each direction. At the experimental part of the paper I show the hybrid collection that combines both musical directions and construction.

U završnom će se radu govoriti o političkoj pismenosti mladih u današnjem svijetu kojim dominiraju masovni mediji čiji utjecaj uvelike oblikuje političku, ali i općenitu informiranost društva. Najprije će se definirati politička pismenost te će se ukratko ukazati na važnost političke pismenosti za razvoj suvremenih demokratskih društava. Zatim će se pružiti širi osvrt na pojavu masovnih medija i na načine kojima mediji utječu na generalnu političku informiranost mlađih generacija, a potom i na samo političko opismenjavanje istih. Ukratko će se obrazložiti i važnost medijske pismenosti te će se pružiti uvid u politički interes i alternativni pristup mladih u svijetu politike. U zaključak će biti uvrštena sinteza svih poglavlja završnog rada te osobni osvrt o izabranoj temi, kao i moguća rješenja problema političke (ne)pismenosti mladih u današnjem društvu. The final paper will discuss the political literacy of young people in today's world, which is dominated by the mass media, whose influence greatly shapes the political and general information of society. First, political literacy will be defined and the importance of political literacy for the development of modern democratic societies will be briefly pointed out. It will then provide a broader overview of the emergence of the mass media and the ways in which the media influence the general political information of the younger generations, and then the very political literacy of the same. The importance of media literacy will be briefly explained and an insight into the political interest and alternative approach of young people in the world of politics will be provided. The conclusion will include a synthesis of all chapters of the final paper and a personal review of the chosen topic, as well as possible solutions to the problem of political (ill) literacy of young people in today's society.

Svrha ovog završnog rada je prikazati potencijale razvoja edukativnog turizma u hrvatskim destinacijama, poboljšati kvalitetu ponude te postići povećani dolazak edukativnih turista izvan glavne sezone. U radu se postavlja naglasak na promjenu edukacijske paradigme, uvođenje inovacija i ulaganje u tehnologiju kao ključ za budućnost. S obzirom da Hrvatska ima visok apsorpcijski potencijal, kroz taj potencijal se mogu privući turisti i studenti iz zemalja Europske unije i Europe. Unatoč potencijalu u Europi, Hrvatska bi morala kreirati i globalnu politiku privlačenja studenata i turista. U današnje vrijeme, svijet je „globalno selo“ te se mora iskoristiti pozicija i mogućnosti Hrvatske kroz segmentiranje, pozicioniranje, ciljanje i brendiranje. Hrvatska se može ugledati na Australiju, SAD te europske zemlje. S obzirom da Hrvatska ne ulaže mnogo sredstava u turizam a i očekuje puno od turizma, tu dolazi do mogućnosti korištenja marketinga za bolje pozicioniranje i brendiranje Hrvatske u svijetu, stavljajući fokus na Hrvatsku kao kvalitetnu destinaciju za odmor, uživanje ali i učenje. Da bi se ostvarilo navedeno, mora se ulagati u edukaciju jer je to ključ stvaranja kozmopolitskih građana, građana budućnosti. U radu je izvršena komparacija edukativnih destinacija, sublimirani su zaključci te dani prijedlozi budućeg djelovanja. The aim of this diploma paper is to display the possibilities of the development of educational tourism in Croatian destinations, to improve the quality of the offer and to achieve an increased arrival of tourists outside the high season. The paper emphasises the change of the educational paradigm, the introduction of innovations and the investment in technology as a key to the future. Taking into account that Croatia has a high absorption potential, this potential could be used to attract tourists and students from European countries. Despite its absorption potential in Europe, Croatia should also create a global policy to attract even more students and tourists. Nowadays, the world is a "global village" so Croatia’s position and opportunities must be used through segmentation, positioning, targeting and branding. For instance, Australia, USA and a few european countries could offer an excellent example. However, Croatia does not invest much money in tourism, but still expects a lot from it. Therefore, there is an opportunity to use marketing to promote and brand Croatia in the world, as a quality destination for vacation, enjoyment and learning. In order to fulfil the abovementioned potentials, one must invest in education because that is the key to creating cosmopolitan citizens, the citizens of the future. The diploma paper compares educational destinations, sublimates the conclusions and gives suggestions for future actions.

Završni rad na temu utjecaj masovnih medija na ponašanje mladih objašnjava glavne teoretske pojmove vezane uz masovne medije. Mediji se nalaze školama, društvu, politici, trendovima i mnogim drugim stavkama. S obzirom da su mediji sastavni dio života oni oblikuju mišljenja i stavove kod djece i mladih. U današnje vrijeme djeca su u kontaktu s tehnologijom pa tako i medijima od najranije dobi i u ovom radu će se obrađivati ta tematika, tj. utjecaj koje mediji imaju na mlade i njihove živote, što predstavlja sami cilj i predmet rada. Rad se sastoji od 7 poglavlja koja uključuju uvod, medije koji se sastoje od podpoglavlja povijesti i vrsta medija, nadalje se u radu govori o masovnim medijima koji se razgraničavaju na vrste i funkcije masovnih medija te samo korištenje istih. Najveći fokus u radu je stavljen na primarno istraživanje o svjesnosti utjecaja medija na svijest ljudi i mladih. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 48 ljudi. Istraživanje je podijeljeno na dva dijela, u prvom se govori o djeci koje popunjavaju isključivo roditelji, a drugi dio se odnosi na samog ispitanika i utjecaju medija na život pojedinca. Nakon provedenog istraživanja lakše se mogla razumjeti tematika odnosa medija i mladih kroz utjecaj masovnih medija na ponašanje mladih u globalu i nakon pandemije. The final paper on the topic of the influence of the mass media on the behavior of young people explains the main theoretical concepts related to the mass media. The media is found in schools, society, politics, trends and many other items. Since the media are an integral part of life, they shape the opinions and attitudes of children and young people. Nowadays, children are in contact with technology and the media from an early age and this paper will address this topic, ie the impact that the media have on young people and their lives, which is the goal and subject of the work. The paper consists of 7 chapters that include an introduction, media that consist of subchapters of history and types of media, further in the paper we talk about mass media that are divided into types and functions of mass media that only use them. The greatest focus of the paper is placed on the primary research of the global influence of the media on the consciousness of people and youth. The research was proven on a sample of 48 people. The research is divided into two parts, the first is about children who are filled exclusively by parents, and the second part refers to the respondent and the impact of the media on the life of the individual. After proven research, it was easier to understand the topic of the relationship between the media and young people through the impact of the mass media on the behavior of young people globally and after the pandemic.

Seksualna prisila među mladima rastući je i ozbiljan problem koji nosi niz negativnih posljedica za one koji je dožive. U Američkoj literaturi ovaj je pojam uvriježen te se istraživanja na populaciji mladih, posebice studentskoj, provode od sredine 20. st. dok su u Hrvatskoj istraživanja ovakvog tipa izuzetno rijetka. Unatoč dugoj tradiciji istraživanja u SAD-u terminologija koja se odnosi na pojam seksualne prisile, ali i način istraživanja samog fenomena nisu ujednačeni. Stoga je cilj ovog rada predstaviti obilježja fenomena seksualne prisile kroz prikaz relevantnih saznanja iz literature koja je objavljena od 2010. do 2020. godine. Fenomen seksualne prisile biti će predstavljen kroz sljedeće elemente: definicija pojma seksualne prisile, strategije prisile, prevalencija, posljedice kod žrtve, obilježja prisile s obzirom na spol počinitelja te metodološki pristup u istraživanju samog fenomena. U ovom radu, slijedeći PRISMA model, analizirano je 11 istraživanja koja su odgovarala kriterijima uključivanja. Temeljem provedene analize može se zaključiti kako ne postoji unificirana i općeprihvaćena definicija seksualne prisile, no postoje zajedničke značajke definicije (tip kontakta i strategija kojom je kontakt ostvaren) koje su slične kod većine autora. Heterogenost u definicijama fenomena uvelike otežava mjerenje prevalencije bilo počinjenog ili doživljenog iskustva seksualne prisile. Varijabilnost u stopama prevalencija lako je objašnjiva konceptualnim i metodološkim okvirima pojedinog istraživanja. Stope prevalencije kako seksualne viktimizacije tako i počinjenja seksualnog nasilja niže su za one oblike seksualne prisile koji se odnose na spolni odnos nasuprot seksualnom kontaktu te za strategije više razine (onesposobljenost žrtve i upotreba fizičke sile) u odnosu na one niže razine (verbalni pritisci, strategije uzbuđivanja). Rezultati ukazuju kako žrtve nakon proživljenog iskustva seksualne prisile doživljavaju dijapazon negativnih psiholoških, socijalnih i akademskih posljedica koje ometaju njihovo svakodnevno funkcioniranje. Analizirani radovi u najvećoj su mjeri bilježili samo spol žrtve, a ne počinitelja zbog čega podataka o obilježjima prisile s obzirom na spol počinitelja manjka. U radu je opisan metodološki pristup u istraživanju fenomena seksualne prisile. Isto tako predstavljene su smjernice za buduća istraživanja., Sexual coercion among young people is a growing and serious problem that carries a number of negative consequences for those who experience it. In the American literature, this term is common and research on the youth population, especially students, has been conducted since the middle of the 20th century, while in Croatia research of this type is extremely rare. Despite the long tradition of research in the United States, the terminology related to the concept of sexual coercion, but also the way of researching the phenomenon itself are not uniform. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present the characteristics of the phenomenon of sexual coercion through the presentation of relevant knowledge from the literature published from 2010 to 2020. The phenomenon of sexual coercion will be presented through the following elements: definition of the concept of sexual coercion, coercion strategies, prevalence, consequences experienced by the victims, characteristics of coercion with regard to the sex of the perpetrator and methodological approach in researching the phenomenon. In this paper, following the PRISMA model, 11 studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that there is no unified and generally accepted definition of sexual coercion, but there are determinants of the definition (type of contact and strategy by which contact was made) that are similar in most authors. Heterogeneity in the definitions of the phenomenon makes it very difficult to measure the prevalence of either the experience of sexual coercion committed or experienced. Variability in prevalence rates can be easily explained by the conceptual and methodological frameworks of individual research. Prevalence rates of both sexual victimization and sexual violence are lower for those forms of sexual coercion related to sexual intercourse versus sexual contact and for higher level strategies (incapacitation and use of physical force) compared to lower levels (verbal pressures, strategies excitement). The results indicate that after being sexualy coerced, victims experience a range of negative psychological, social and academic consequences that interfere with their daily functioning. The analyzed papers mostly recorded only the sex of the victim, and not the perpetrator, which is why there is a lack of data on the characteristics of coercion with regard to the sex of the perpetrator. The paper describes a methodological approach in researching the phenomenon of sexual coercion. Guidelines for future research are also presented.

Rad nudi pregled prirode sekstinga među adolescentima s jasnim određenjem sekstinga, njegove rasprostranjenosti, motivima sekstinga i posljedicama. Pregledom literature vidljivo je kako se seksting definira kao slanje, primanje i razmjena seksualno eksplicitnih sadržaja (tekstualnih poruka, fotografija ili videozapisa). Posljednjih godina seksting postaje sve popularniji način komunikacije među adolescentima. Kao motivi upuštanja u seksting navode se flert, želja za intimnosti i uzbuđenjem, privlačenje pažnje, nagovaranje partnera na seksting, želja za iniciranjem seksualne aktivnosti i dosada. Posljedice sekstinga uobičajeno se ogledaju u niskom samopouzdanju, povećanom stresu, simptomima depresije, anksioznosti i rizicima suicida. U literaturi često nailazimo na negativne ishode sekstinga (anksioznost, depresija, prekomjerna upotreba alkohola), dok pozitivni ishodi sekstinga (normativno seksualno ponašanje, zadovoljstvo u vezi, uzbuđenost, sreća, flert) nisu dovoljno naglašeni. U radu će se dati pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja o sekstingu, njegove rasprostranjenosti, motiva za sudjelovanje u sekstingu te samih posljedica sekstinga., This paper offers an overview of the nature of sexting among young people with a clear description of the definition, prevalence, motives and consequences of participation in sexting. A review of the literature shows that sexting is most often defined as sending, receiving and exchanging sexually explicit content (text messages, photos or videos). In recent years, sexting has become an increasingly popular way of communication among young people. The motives for engaging in sexting are most often flirtation, desire for intimacy and excitement, attracting attention, persuasion to sexting by a partner, desire to initiate sexual activity, but also boredom. The consequences of sexting are usually reflected in low self-esteem, increased stress, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and suicide risks. In the literature, we most often encounter negative outcomes of sexting (anxiety, depression, excessive alcohol use), while the positive outcomes of sexting (normative sexual behavior, relationship satisfaction, arousal, happiness, flirtation) are not sufficiently emphasized. The paper will provide an overview of internationally relevant and recent research on sexting, the prevalence of sexting, the motives for participating in sexting and the consequences of sexting.

Ovaj rad promatra utjecaj emigracije na dvije države, Albaniju i Hrvatsku, s ciljem komparativne analize i pružanja korisnoga uvida u migracijske procese. Krajem 20. stoljeća Albanija i Hrvatska prošle su kroz velike političke, gospodarske i društvene promjene. Time je potaknut val iseljavanja kojem se do danas ne nazire kraj. Temeljna je pretpostavka rada da u bližoj budućnosti države neće moći pozitivno utjecati na kretanje vlastita stanovništva. To predstavlja velik izazov za navedene zemlje zbog opasnosti koje iseljavanje ima po državu i društvo. U kombinaciji s padom fertiliteta, starenjem stanovništva i modernizacijom društva, depopulacija dugoročno ugrožava budućnost i opstanak stanovništva. Mlado stanovništvo, koje je najpodložnije iseljavanju, predstavlja nacionalno bogatstvo i budućnost opstanka države. Dvije na prvi pogled različite države, s drugačijim uzrocima i posljedicama istog problema, pristupaju različito njegovu rješavanju. Rezultati ovoga istraživanja otvaraju teme za istraživanja intenzivirajućeg utjecaja iseljavanja na postojeći fenomen depopulacije među emigrantskim zemljama., This paper examines the impact of emigration on two countries, Albania and Croatia, with the aim of comparative analysis and providing useful insight into migration processes. At the end of the 20th century, Albania and Croatia underwent major political, economic, and social changes. This triggered a wave of emigration that has not ended to this day. The basic premise of the paper is that in the near future the states will not be able to positively influence the movement of its own population. This poses a major challenge for these countries due to the risk that emigration poses to the state and society. Combined with declining fertility, an aging population, and the modernization of society, depopulation threatens the future and survival of the population in the long run. The young population, which is most susceptible to emigration, represents the national wealth and the future of the state's survival. Two seemingly different states, with different causes and consequences of the same problem, approach its solution differently. The results of this research open up topics for research on the intensifying impact of emigration on the existing phenomenon of depopulation among emigrant countries.

Kao alternativni stilovi života, potaknuti strukturnim uvjetima društvenih problema poput nejednakosti, zanemarivanja ljudskih prava, pitanja okoliša i prava na grad, javljaju se globalne i lokalne inicijative i društveni pokreti poput skvoterskog. Jedan od primjera skvotirane građevine je zadarski AKC (Autonomni kulturni centar) Nigdjezemska. Rijedak je to i relativno nov izvaninstitucionalni projekt, koji javnosti, a ponajviše mladima pruža prostor za brojne mogućnosti. Za ovaj rad provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje kulturnog kapitala i vrijednosti mladih posjetitelja Nigdjezemske. Pokušalo se, osim dobivanja uvida u njihov kulturni kapital i vrijednosti, pronaći dublja značenja koja taj prostor ima za posjetitelje. Rad je povrh svega potaknut sociološkim i kulturološkim razmatranjima nesigurnog položaja nezavisne, odnosno alternativne kulturne scene. Polustrukturirani intervjui bili su provedeni tijekom ožujka i travnja 2020. godine s osam sugovornika i sugovonica u dobnom rasponu od 18 do 34 godine, odabranih tehnikom snježne grude. Rezultati ovoga istraživanja pokazuju da je riječ o kulturnim omnivorima, slabog interesa za lokalnu politiku, no usmjerenima na individualni angažman i kreativno te kritičko izražavanje. Također se i značenja koja pripisuju Nigdjezemskoj odnose na prostor za glazbenoumjetnički izičaj te zabavu, ali i na inkluziju i socijabilnost kakvu ona omogućuje. Ovaj rad potiče na razmišljanje o ulozi Nigdjezemske i drugih skvotova, kao poticatelja na djelovanje u kulturi te na omogućavanje prostora alternativnoj kulturnoj sceni. In form of alternative lifestyles, driven by the structural conditions of social problems such as inequality, neglect of human rights, environmental issues and the right to the city, global and local initiatives and social movements, such as squatting, are emerging. One example of a squatted building is the AKC (Autonomous cultural center) Nigdjezemska, in Zadar. It is a rare and relatively new non-institutional project, which provides the public, and especially young people, with space for numerous opportunities. For this paper, a qualitative research of the value-semantic point of view was conducted, by the example of young visitors of Nigdjezemska. In addition to gaining insight into their cultural capital and values, an attempt was made to find the deeper meanings that this space and such an initiative have for the visitors. The work is, above all, motivated by sociological and cultural considerations of the precarious position of the independent, or to say alternative cultural scene. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2020 with eight interlocutors of both genders, ranging in age from 18 to 34, selected by the snowball technique. The results of this research show that these are cultural omnivores, with little interest in local politics, but focused on individual engagement and creative and critical expression. The meanings they ascribe to Nigdjezemska also relate to the space for musical and artistic expression and entertainment, but also to the inclusion and sociability it provides. This paper encourages reflection on the role of Nigdjezemska and other squats, as a facilitator of cultural action and as a space for the alternative cultural scene.

U prvom dijelu rad govori o mladima te rizicima i izazovima s kojima se mogu suočiti. Bavi se problematikom internaliziranih kao i eksternaliziranih poremećaja u ponašanju. Zatim pruža pregled pet teorija o razvoju identiteta čiji su predstavnici Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, Gordon Allport, Abraham Maslow i Carl Rogers. Kroz njihove teorije prikazuju se procesi odrastanja, formiranja ličnosti i potencijalnih zapreka u razvoju na koje osoba može naići. Socijalni rad predstavljen je kao samostalno područje djelatnosti, ali i kroz koristi koje ima od teorija o razvoju identiteta., The first part of this paper talks about the youth, and the risks and challenges they can face. It deals with the problematics of internalised and externalised behaviour problems. The paper gives a review of five identity theories whose representatives are Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, Gordon Allport, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. Their theories demonstrate the processes of growing up, forming of an identity and facing potential obstacles in their path. Social work is represented as an independent field, but also through the benefits it has from thoes identity theories.

Tema je rada suicidalno ponašanje mlade populacije koje predstavlja jedan od tri najčešća uzroka smrti u adolescentskoj populaciji. Cilj je rada pobliže se upoznati s različitim segmentima tog velikog globalnog problema današnjice. Uključivanjem zajednice i timskim radom stručnih radnika iz područja socijalnih i zdravstvenih djelatnosti nastoji se pravovremeno prepoznati rizične čimbenike i znakove upozorenja suicidalnosti te ojačati zaštitne čimbenike koji smanjuju progresiju suicidalnih misli i ponašanja. Uz individualni pristup i adekvatnu pomoć pojedincima i njihovim bližnjima, bitna je i prevencija suicidalnog ponašanja nizom aktivnosti, uključujući i educiranjem opće populacije., The topic of the paper is suicidal behaviour in the population of youth, which is increasing in modern times and is one of the three most common causes of death in the adolescent population. The aim of the paper is to get acquainted with different segments of this global problem of today. By involving the community and teamwork of professionals in the field of social and health, efforts are made to identify risk factors and warning signs of suicide in a timely manner and to strengthen protective factors that reduce teh progression of suicidal thoughts and behaviour. In addition to the individual approach and adeguate help for individuals and their families, it is important to prevent suicidal behaviour through a series of activities, includion the education of the general population.

Zdravlje je jedna od ključnih odrednica kvalitete života, a sastavni dio zdravlja svakog pojedinca je i mentalno zdravlje. Zadnjih godina je posebno zabrinjavajući porast problema mentalnog zdravlja među mladima sa sve većom prevalencijom obolijevanja od mentalnih poremećaja, pri čemu suicid predstavlja drugi glavni uzrok smrti kod mladih u svijetu, a većina odraslih s mentalnim poremećajima i poteškoćama su prve simptome imali u djetinjstvu i mladosti. Narušeno mentalno zdravlje je povezano sa širokim spektrom štetnih posljedica i za pojedinca, njegovu bližu okolinu, ali i za društvo i državu u cjelini, te je zato prepoznato kao jedno od ključnih briga i fokusa javnih zdravstvenih politika na globalnoj, a tako i na razini EU i RH. Kako bi se kreirale i implementirale uspješne i učinkovite mjere i aktivnosti na području zaštite mentalnog zdravlja razumjeti složenost ovog problema te mu pristupati strateški-sistematično, integrirano i kontinuirano. U tu svrhu je potrebno steći dublji uvid u sam koncept mentalnog zdravlja te će se s tim ciljem u ovom radu prikazati određenje koncepta i teorijski pristupi mentalnom zdravlju mladih. Nakon toga slijedi prikaz elemenata zaštite mentalnog zdravlja mladih, uz naglasak na specifičnosti razvojne faze, ali i novonastalih društvenih procesa i okolnosti. Potom će biti navedeni najčešći poremećaji mentalnog zdravlja mladih te rizični i zaštitni čimbenici. Zadnji dio rada se odnosi na politički i strateški okvir zaštite mentalnog zdravlja na razini EU i RH. Unutar tog poglavlja predstavit će se ključne organizacije, programi i projekti. Na samom kraju će se analizirati trenutno stanje koje uključuje i osvrt na nedostatke i izazove, ali i prednosti te daljnje preporuke usmjerene ka strateškom planiranju koje se usmjerava na suradnju i integriranost pristupa, dionika i mjera., Health is one of the key determinants of quality of life, and mental health is an integral part of health. In recent years, the rise of mental health problems among young people has been particularly worrying, with suicide being the second leading cause of death in young people, and most adults with mental disorders and difficulties have experienced the first symptoms in childhood and adolescence. Mental health impairment can lead to adverse consequences for the individual, their immediate environment, as well as for society and the country as a whole so it has become one of the main focuses of public health policies at the global as well as at EU and Croatian levels. In order to create and implement successful and effective measures and activities in the field of youth mental health care, it is necessary to understand the complexity of the concept of mental health. Due to the stated complexity strategic approach needs to be: systematical, comprehensive, integrated and continuous. For this purpose, it is necessary to gain a deeper insight into the concept itself. Firstly, this paper will define the concept and theoretical approaches to mental health of young people. Second part is focused on indetifying elements of youth mental health protection, with an emphasis on the specifics of the developmental phase, but also on emerging social processes and circumstances. The most common mental health disorders, risk and protective factors will then be debated. The last part of the paper analyzes the political and strategic framework of protection mental health at EU and Croatian level. Within this chapter key organizations, programs and projects will be presented. At the end, current situation in Croatia will be analyzed through disadvantages and challenges, but also the benefits and further recommendations directed towards strategic planning that focuses on the cooperation and integration of approaches, stakeholders and measures.

Ovaj se rad bavi analizom glazbenih preferencija i političkog ponašanja kod studenata na Sveučilištu u Zagrebu. U skladu s navedenim provedeno je istraživanje na studentima Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (N=140). Prvi dio rada obuhvaća teorijski pregled pri čemu se dotiče dosadašnjih istraživanja u sferi glazbenih preferencija te različitih aspekata političkog ponašanja. U drugom dijelu rada provedeno je istraživanje u kojem su se mjerile glazbene preferencije i političko ponašanje mladih. U kontekstu glazbenih preferencija obuhvaćene su sljedeće komponente: učestalost slušanja glazbe, utjecaj slušanja glazbe na život studenata i preferencije prema pojedinom žanru glazbe. Kako bi izmjerili političko ponašanje studenata mjerena je: politička orijentacija studenata, izlaznost na izbore, participacija u strankama, na prosvjedima, potpisivanjima peticija i štrajkovima, učestalost političkog informiranja, podrška demokraciji te je provjeravano znanje o osnovnim političkim pojmovima. Istraživanjem se pokušalo provjeriti postoji li povezanost između tih dvaju faktora. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali kako su lijevo orijentirani ispitanici manje skloni popularno tradicionalnom glazbenom ukusu te pokazuju veću razinu političke participacije. Također, pokazalo se kako ispitanici u čijim životima glazba ima velik utjecaj, pokazuju manju razinu znanja o politici. This paper deals with the analysis of musical preferences and political behaviour among students at the University of Zagreb. In accordance following the aforementioned, a study was conducted on students of the University of Zagreb (N=140). The first part of the paper includes a theoretical overview, touching on previous research in the field of musical preferences and various aspects of political behaviour. In the second part, the research was conducted in which the musical preferences and political behaviour were measured. In the context of the musical components, the following components were included: frequency of the listening to the music, the impact on their lives and preferences for a particular genre of music. To measure students political behaviour, the following components were measured: political orientation, turnout, participation in political parties, protests, petitions and strikes, support for democracy and knowledge of basic political concepts. The research tried to check if there is a connection between these two factors. The results of the research showed that left-wing respondents are less inclined to popular traditional music taste and show a higher level of political participation. Also, respondents in whose lives music has a major impact shows a lower level of basic political knowledge.
