The paper examines the role of school experiences in accounting for behavioural and subjective aspects of high- -school student adjustment. The study data were collected on a stratified random sample of students (N = 978) of both genders and attending all 4 grades of high schools in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Age and gender differences in the level and structure of relationships among the selected measures of school experiences, leisure-time variables, and adaptation outcomes were examined. Higher levels of students’ attachment and commitment to fulfilling school obligations were detected among younger students and females, while the exposure to alcohol and substance use was expectedly found to be more common among higher- -grade students. Multigroup structural equation analyses confirmed significant direct relationships of latent measures of school experiences with general satisfaction with life, and indirect relationships of the same school experiences variables with the regularity of substance use among students. Somewhat different magnitudes of structural parameters were observed between the samples defined by gender, whereas age differences in the obtained pattern of structural relationships were not supported by the empirical data.

The comparative analysis established the similarity of the demographic transition processes in Ukraine and Croatia as a consequence of the specific historical, social and economic conditions of development within the former state communities. Consideration of post-transition characteristics and demographic heritage confirmed the comparability of modern demographic characteristics and processes of these two countries. The recent geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe related to the Russian aggression on Ukraine has caused intensified forced relocations of the population in Ukraine and Europe in the context of exile and refugee movements. The main sources of migration waves, the directions and intensity of certain forms of forced (war) migration to and from the territory of Ukraine are defined. In addition to the increased spatial mobility of the population (both internal and external) and direct demographic losses, other demographic consequences will be visible with a delayed effect, and after the end of the war in Ukraine.

This contribution strives to give an initial overview of various legal frameworks and the connected everyday practices concerning military cemeteries containing the remains of Croatian soldiers – for the most part members of the Austrian- -Hungarian armed forces – and to situate them within the changing political and cultural context, including memorial manifestations such as public monuments, individual war memoirs, and soldiers' frontline newspapers. As a consequence, the 1914–1941 period is further subdivided into the 1914– 1918 Habsburg period, the short 1918–1921 intermezzo, and the 1921–1941 Karađorđević period, albeit none of this was exactly uniform. Apart from literature and published sources, the research was also based on archival documents (Croatian State Archives in Zagreb, Archives of Yugoslavia in Belgrade).

In this essay I claim that all sites of memory have both local and national meanings, since they say that something happened here or to the people who live here, in this country, which is worth remembering in public. Only some sites of memory are international, in that they are constructed not solely by locals or residents of a particular region or state, but by groups of people in different countries drawing attention to events they think significant. However, transnational sites are those which were constructed or designated as significant by people from different places or different states, who worked together to represent the past from a transnational perspective. Therefore, the central question of my research is what did memory agents, that is, the people who built or used these sites of memory, want to achieve through them? What were they for? The answers I present are based on war memorials and museums. Reflecting on these sites underscores the ways in which war memorials are palimpsests, in the sense that they have multiple levels of meaning attached to them, corresponding to the collective memory of local, regional, national, international and transnational communities about our violent age.

Employing a sociological discourse analysis of media reports, this study aims to identify and typologise World War I-related memorial events in the cross-border region of Istria, which is traditionally heavily involved in international tourist flows in Slovenia and Croatia. The theory of memory, social amnesia, and dark tourism are thus intertwined. A corpus of 15 anniversary-related (and all accessible) media reports from three leading regional news media outlets was included in the analysis, which negates the complete social amnesia of war; they were typologised as memorial services or dark exhibitions. We found that memorial events are also related to sport/recreation (diving) and meetings of scholars (conferences, round tables, presentation of the book), which resulted in a revised typology of memorial events. The analysed events scattered throughout the peninsula have limited tourist significance and also reflect the Istrian social reality, specifically multiculturalism and transcultural memory. The paper concludes with an overview of the scholarly and practical implications and limitations of the approach used.

After the end of the First World War, the graves of soldiers of the three armies that fought against each other – Serbian, Montenegrin and Austria-Hungarian, became war memorials of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). The care of the state for these war graves was in constant conflict of desires and needs on the one hand, and financial possibilities on the other. Hence, there was an unequal posture towards the graves. Nevertheless, the state put in order a significant number of cemeteries and erected memorial ossuaries. In some of these ossuaries, the bodies of Serbian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers were laid together. After the Second World War, graves, cemeteries and ossuaries from the First World War fell into a state of neglect. With the disintegration of Yugoslavia, a new phase of their existence begins. These soldiers are separated again, and the new, post-Yugoslav, states are now taking care of them.

Roditeljstvo je vrlo odgovorna i zahtjevna životna uloga koja se odvija u kontekstu mnogih društvenih promjena. Dinamika suvremene obitelji, očekivanja i težnje roditelja, promjene u shva- ćanjima prirode djece i roditeljskog autoriteta, ubrzan tehnološki razvoj i dostupnost raznih informacija o pozitivnom roditeljstvu samo su neki od čimbenika koji mogu oblikovati subjektivan do- življaj roditeljske uloge. U Hrvatskoj su vrlo rijetka istraživanja u kojima su u fokusu roditelji, a osobito kvalitativna istraživanja koja su usmjerena na subjektivna iskustva i brige roditelja djece različite dobi. U ovom će se radu prikazati rezultati kvalitativnog istraživanja koje je imalo za cilj istražiti osobna iskustva i izazove roditelja djece različite dobi, roditelja djece u ranom i kasnom djetinjstvu, adolescenciji i već "odrasle" djece. Kvalitativno istraživanje provedeno je u hrvatskim regijama te je sudjelovalo 103 roditelja (90 majki i 13 očeva) u 16 fokus-grupa. U prikazu rezultata detaljno će se razmotriti istraživačke teme, uz kategorizaciju osobnih iskustava i izazova roditelja djece različite dobi.

Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio istražiti doprinos samooblikovanja posla zadovoljstvu poslom i zanesenosti na poslu te zadovoljstvu životom i psihološkom procvatu. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 275 zaposlenika (od kojih je 64,4 % žena) dobi od 20 do 53 godine (Mdob = 32,13 (7,21)). Rezultati su pokazali određenost apsorpcije, uživanja i intrinzične motivacije te zadovoljstva poslom pojedinim dimenzijama samooblikovanja posla, dok neke dimenzije samooblikovanja posla predviđaju i psihološki procvat te zadovoljstvo životom zaposlenika. Povećanje strukturnih resursa posla pokazalo se pozitivnom odrednicom svih promatranih pokazatelja poslovne i opće dobrobiti. Uz to, povećanje izazovnih zahtjeva posla pozitivno je predviđalo sve tri dimenzije zanesenosti na poslu. Smanjenje ometajućih zahtjeva posla negativno je predviđalo, dok je povećanje socijalnih resursa posla pozitivno predviđalo zadovoljstvo poslom te uživanje i intrinzičnu motivaciju.
