An overview of the results of the final theses of students of the Faculty of Social Work on social work with people with dementia
A meta-analysis of students' theses from the past five years (2016–2020) on the topic of social work with people with dementia is presented. Among the themes explored, work in institutions as well as work in the family setting of people with dementia predominate; community work topics emerge to a lesser extent. Thus, the role of social work and the use of social work methods are researched somewhat more in institutions, but again, only in individual institutions. However, this topic does not appear in research on people with dementia in the home setting. Most research is qualitative and based on non-random convenience samples using interviews as the method of data collection. Often, students explore the challenges and needs of those involved in caring for people with dementia, but with less emphasis on numbers. In the future, the focus will need to be on research on community and on (social) work with people with dementia in their home environments, and the use of social work methods and other forms of work with people with dementia need to be explored in more depth.

Pridobivanje informacij s pogovorom je ključna naloga preiskovalec pri preiskovanju kaznivih dejanj in nekaterih drugih posameznikov, ki s poslužujejo podobnih metod. Magistrska naloga vsebuje povzetke in opise najbolj uporabljenih tehnik pridobivanja informacij oziroma zasliševanj, ki se trenutno uporabljajo po svetu. V sklopu magistrskega dela smo naredili še pregled empiričnih raziskav v Sloveniji, ki obravnavajo tematiko zasliševanja. Narejena je bila taksonomija velike večine tehnik zasliševanja ter natančen in empiričen pregled dveh metod, ki sta trenutno najbolj uveljavljeni v svetu. Tako imenovani PEACE metoda in Reid tehnika. Na podlagi primerjave obeh tehnik in skladnosti s pravno ureditvijo, je bilo ugotovljeno, da Reid tehnika ni kompatibilna s slovensko zakonodajo saj se poslužuje metod, ki so eksplicitno prepovedane. Uporaba takšnih metod lahko resno ogrozi celoten kazenski postopek. Na podlagi pregleda lahko sklepamo, da so tehnike zasliševanja v Sloveniji zelo stare, v primerjavi z ostalim zahodnim svetom, neustrezne in ne dosegajo etičnih standardov. Poleg tega opažamo pomanjkanje empiričnih raziskav na tem področju, ki šele zadnjih nekaj let kaže rahel premik v razvoju. ; Obtaining information from the conversation is a key task of the investigator in criminal investigation. Although certain other individuals can make use of similar methods. This dissertation contains abstracts and descriptions of the most commonly used techniques for obtaining information or confessions, which are currently in use around the world. As part of the dissertation we review various empirical research in Slovenia, which deals with a subject of interrogation. We made taxonomy of vast majority of interrogation techniques and a precise and empirical examination of the two methods, which are currently the most renowned in the world. The so-called PEACE method and Reid Technique. Based on a comparison of the two techniques and compliance with the legislation, it was found that the Reid technique is not compatible with Slovenian legislation as it makes use of methods that are explicitly prohibited. The use of such methods can seriously jeopardize the entire criminal proceeding. Based on the review we can conclude that the interrogation techniques in Slovenia are very old, compared with the rest of the Western world, they are inadequate and do not meet ethical standards. Moreover, we note a lack of empirical research in Slovenia, which only in the last few years shows a slight shift in development.

Abstract. The study focused on investigating and analysing the perception
of Facebook's role, as one of the components in the field of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT), namely, social media, on the quality
of emotional interaction, particularly among individuals in their third age.
The research sample comprised 260 participants of various ages, divided
into two age groups – under 50 and over 50 years old. Participants' opinions were obtained through empirical research, employing quantitative
methods and surveys as the research technique. The research findings indicate that age influences participants' attitudes to digital communication
as a means and medium of emotional communication in various contexts.
Participants in the third age exhibit stronger reservations towards Facebook as a tool for emotional communication and are more cautious about
the use of modern communication methods offered by new social media
techniques. They are also less inclined to abandon traditional interpersonal interactions. The results reveal general distrust in the information
circulating on Facebook and underscore the advantage of maintaining
each interpersonal communication, encompassing all elements of emotional relationships beyond the realm of the Internet, or the information
mediation services offered by ICT, primarily social media.
Keywords: Information and Communication Technologies, Facebook,
third age, emotional communication, alienation.

nternational tobacco smuggling remains an important concern for governments, tobacco manufactur-ers and health experts alike. While often linked to other forms of illegal activities, it also directly impacts govern-ment tax and health policies. Knowledge of factors that contribute to illicit tobacco trade and the existence of smug-gling routes is strongly hampered by the lack of reliable data on bilateral flows of illicit tobacco. Therefore, recon-structing the trafficking routes and estimating the size of cross-border illicit flows are crucial steps for gaining bet-ter understanding of these crimes and enforcing actions aimed at countering them. This study is the first to use grav-ity estimation techniques to decompose aggregate illicit cig-arette inflows for which data are available into their bilat-eral components. Our approach is a simple and effective method that can serve as a complement to other methods of pinpointing international trafficking flows such as empty discarded pack data or network analysis to help in the fight against illicit tobacco flows. Policymakers, customs officials as well as law enforcement can employ the presented meth-ods as an additional tool in the fight against illicit trade. Keywords: bilateral illicit cigarette trade, gravity model, predictive estimation

Izziv za raziskovanje predstavlja analiza, koliko denarnih sredstev Latvija in Slovenija prispevata v proračun EU ter koliko se v izbrani državi vrne preko evropskih skladov. Namen analize v magistrskem delu je analizirati področja, ki jih ti dve državi prednostno obravnavata in njuno učinkovitost pri doseganju zastavljenih ciljev v finančni perspektivi 2014 - 2020. Opisovanje dejstev in pojmov ter njihovo preučevanje na podlagi tuje in domače strokovne literature temelji na metodi deskripcije. Zbiranje številčnih podatkov in statističnih analiz je izvedeno s kvantitativno metodo. Z metodo komparacije je bila izvedena primerjava med državama, z metodo kompilacije pa je bila izvedena potrditev oziroma zavrnitev hipotez. Z analizo je bilo ugotovljeno, da prebivalec Latvije prejme več sredstev iz skladov EU kot prebivalec Slovenije, kljub temu, da prebivalec Slovenije prispeva v proračun EU več kot prebivalec Latvije. Prejeta sredstva kohezijskega sklada na prebivalca so odvisna od BDP na prebivalca in tako vplivajo na razvitost države. Latvija iz kohezijskega sklada prejme več sredstev kot Slovenija, ima pa nižji BDP na prebivalca kot Slovenija. Slovenija uspešneje črpa sredstva Evropskega socialnega sklada in sredstva za področje razvoja in inovacij. Analiza pripomore k temu, da bo pri naslednji finančni perspektivi omogočena večja učinkovitost pri pridobivanju in koriščenju sredstev EU. Analiza je pokazatelj uspešnosti držav pri črpanju sredstev, ugotavlja pa tudi kazalnike porabljenih sredstev. Z uspešnim črpanjem sredstev iz evropskih skladov je mogoč razvoj in rast v državi, predvsem na področju gospodarskega, ekonomskega in socialnega stanja. ; A challenge for the research is mainly to analyse how much money do Latvia and Slovenia contribute to the European Union's budget and how much money do they recompensate from the European funds. The purpose of the analysis is to find out which areas do the two countries treat with the highest priority and also to find out how effective they are in achieving the set goals of the 2014 – 2020 financial perspective. Description of facts and concepts, as well as their study on the basis of foreign and domestic scientific literature, was based on the method of description. Collection of numerical data and statistical analyses were carried out using the quantitative method. The comparison method was used to conduct a comparison between the countries, whereas the compilation method was used to confirm or reject the hypotheses. The analysis showed that a resident of Latvia receives more financial means from the EU funds than a resident of Slovenia. Furthermore, the latter also contributes more to the EU budget than the resident of Latvia. Cohesion fund's received financial means per capita depend on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and thus affect the country's development. Latvia receives more such means and also has lower GDP per capita than Slovenia. However, Slovenia is more efficient at using the resources of the European Social Fund and Funds for research and innovation. The analysis that was carried out aids in the improvement of next financial perspective to be more efficient in gaining and using the EU funds. It is also an indicator of how successful both countries are when it comes to using EU funds and what are the indicators of the funds used. The successful absorption of European funds enables the development and growth of the country, especially in the economic and social perspective.

V magistrskem delu obravnavam vpliv svetovne finančne in gospodarske krize, ki je nastala leta 2007 v Združenih državah Amerike ter se nemudoma globalizirala po vseh celinah, na delovanje nevladnih organizacij. V prvi vrsti gre za pereč problem sodobnega sveta, pri čemer pa je za nevladne organizacije, ki delujejo v človekovo dobrobit, značilno, da so večinoma še bolj aktivne v času raznih kriz. Glavni cilj magistrskega dela je ugotoviti, kako je svetovna finančna in gospodarska kriza vplivala na financiranje ter posledično delovanje nevladne organizacije Greenpeace ter s kakšnimi izzivi se dandanes srečujejo nevladne organizacije. Glavne uporabljene metode raziskovanja so metoda pridobivanja podatkov, statistična metoda in primerjalna analiza. Rezultati analize pokažejo, da je obdobje pred nastankom svetovne finančne in gospodarske krize (od leta 2005 do leta 2007) zaznamoval presežek prihodkov nevladne organizacije Greenpeace nad njenimi odhodki. V obdobju med svetovno finančno in gospodarsko krizo (od leta 2008 do leta 2009) je prišlo do upada presežka njenih prihodkov nad odhodki, obdobje po nastanku svetovne finančne in gospodarske krize (od leta 2010 do leta 2015) pa je zaznamovalo konstantno nihanje presežka njenih prihodkov nad odhodki. Na podlagi ugotovitev je nevladna organizacija Greenpeace v obdobju od leta 2008 do leta 2009 zaradi vpliva svetovne finančne in gospodarske krize beležila upad subvencij, dotacij, regresov, kompenzacij in drugih prihodkov ter posledično namenila manj finančnih sredstev za globalne okoljevarstvene aktivnosti. ; This master's thesis discuss the impact of the global financial and economic crisis, that emerged in 2007 in the United States and immediately globalized across all continents, to the functioning of non-governmental organizations. It represents a pressing problem of the modern world, wherefore non-governmental organizations are more active in times of various crises. The main goal of the master's thesis is to find out how the global financial and economic crisis affected non-governmental organization's Greenpeace financing and functioning and furthermore with what kind of challenges are non-governmental organizations encountered these days. The main methods of research used are the method of data acquisition, statistical method and comparative analysis. The results of the analysis show that the period preceding the onset of the global financial and economic crisis (from 2005 to 2007) was marked by a surplus of the non-governmental organization Greenpeace. In the period between the global financial and economic crisis (from 2008 to 2009) the surplus reduced. The period after the onset of the global financial and economic crisis (from 2010 to 2015) was marked by a constant fluctuation in the surplus. On the basis of the findings non-governmental organization Greenpeace due to the impact of the global financial and economic crisis (from 2008 to 2009) recorded a decline in subsidies, grants, regressions, compensations and other revenues, wherefore devoted less financial resources to global environmental activities.

This study is focused on a small village in Tuscany and explores how citizens
evaluate the actions and communication strategies applied by the local government during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study adopted a combination of
qualitative and quantitative methods: semi-structured interviews with local administrators, and a survey with a representative sample of the local population.
The findings show a limitedly articulated yet meaningful relationship between
the central administration and the local one, a positive evaluation by citizens
of the local government's management of the emergency and, generally, good
social cohesion, albeit not fully supported by the engagement of civic cultures
that were heavily restricted by the socially restrictive measures imposed during
the pandemic.

Družinska mediacija se je v Sloveniji na okrožnih in ostalih sodiščih začela intenzivno uveljavljati z letom 2010, in sicer po sprejemu Zakona o alternativnem reševanju sodnih sporov leto prej. Zakon v 4. členu namreč določa obveznost prvostopenjskim sodiščem (okrajnim, okrožnim in delovnim) ter višjim sodiščem in Višjemu delovnemu in socialnemu sodišču, da sprejmejo in uveljavijo programe alternativnega reševanja sporov, v okviru katerih je obvezno potrebno zagotoviti mediacijo kot obliko ARS. Družinska mediacija kot podvrsta mediacije je proces, v katerem nepristranska tretja oseba pomaga udeležencem, ki so se znašli v situaciji razpada družine, še posebej parom ob ločitvi ali razvezi, da se bolje sporazumevajo med seboj ter se sporazumno in zavestno odločijo o nekaterih ali vseh zadevah glede ločitve, razveze, otrok, financ ali lastnine ter tako pripomorejo k izboljšanju komunikacije med strankama. Magistrsko delo na kratko predstavi pojem alternativnega reševanja sporov ter podlago za izvajanje programov alternativnega reševanja sporov, natančneje pa se osredotoči na sam pojem družinske mediacije, na njene podlage za izvajanje v Sloveniji ter njena temeljna načela, posebnosti in prednosti. Del magistrskega dela so tudi predstavljeni statistični podatki posameznih okrožnih sodišč od začetka izvajanja družinske mediacije posameznega okrožnega sodišča do leta 2017 glede števila zadev, ki se rešujejo z družinsko mediacijo, ter sama uspešnost družinske mediacije. Ta se osredotoča na pojem uspešnosti družinske mediacije ter možnemu trendu naraščanja uspešnosti zaradi vedno večje urejenosti družinske mediacije na zakonodajnem področju. ; Family mediation has been intensely enforced in district courts since 2010 due to adoption of the Law of alternative dispute resolution in litigation one year prior. The law regulates that all first instance courts (district and labour courts), higher courts and The higher labour and social court must accept and enforce alternative dispute resolution programs in which mediation is an important method they must provide within those programs. Family mediation is a process in which the third, neutral person helps the participants, who are a part of a family breakup, especially couples throughout divorce, to communicate better with each other and that the participants agreeably and conciously make decisions about some or all matters referring their divorce, finances, children or property during their dispute. This third neutral person helps the participants improve their communication with each other. Master's thesis represents alternative dispute resolution program and the legislative basis for implementation of ADR programs. It focuses more precisely on the concept of family mediation, its legislative basis for implementation in Slovenia, fundamental principles of family mediation, special features and advantages of family mediation. An important part of master's thesis are statistics of district courts on family mediation from the beginning until 2017 about the number of cases, which are being solved with the help of family mediation and the number of cases that have been succesfully solved with the family mediation. It focuses on possible trends of constant higher number of succesfully closed cases with family mediation and its connection to better legislative basis of ADR in Slovenia.

The ethical distress of the (post)modern world stimulates and directs us to reflect our ethical and cultural grounds. Man is a transcendent being. He cannot reach or put in order immediate goods he needs if he is not prepared to acknowledge the grounds of his person and develop the virtues of prudence, love, hope, faith, wisdom, justice, courage, temperance etc. These are ethical questions concerning different worldviews and cannot be solved only by scientific methods. Many people who in the past did not care for religion as such, now take seriously religious personal and societal aspects of humane life. The fundamental crucial questions of man are ethical questions. They are in various ways related or perplexed with the question of faith and of science.

The article explores the relationships between young people's media choices,
technological preferences, and everyday life in connection to their cultural and
social characteristics. As such, it describes the conceptual framework of the media repertoires approach and selected methods. Media repertoires are approached
from a generational perspective, pointing out the conceptual and empirical challenges of such research. As one of the first attempts to conceptualise media practices at the intersection of family, educational and peer contexts, the article aims
to describe the qualitative research design of an empirical study that considered a
sample of 67 students aged 12 to 19. The sample is presented through an analysis of its sociodemographic characteristics, while personal media networks help
identify the teenagers' media preferences and their potential cross-connections.

Abstract. During the first shockwave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the risk of infection was inaccurately touted as 'the great equaliser'. However, the virus' rapid spread and the state of emergency accelerated the magnitude of pre-existing inequalities by taking a heavy toll on already marginalised, exploited and extremely poor segments of societies. Focussing on sub-national contexts in Bulgaria and Kosovo, this article demonstrates how Bulgarian Roma and Kosovo Serbs were not only hit the hardest by the introduction of ad hoc lockdowns and curfews, respectively, but also how disciplinary mechanisms of control and surveillance were embedded in public methods and cultural policies of scapegoating and ascribing images of societal irresponsibility and backwardness upon these two minority groups.
