The paper aims to analyse and compare the knowledge, attitudes and practices of social welfare employees in Serbia and Croatia when it comes to the domain of cultural competence. 101 participants from both countries participated in the research, the data were collected online, using a questionnaire developed for the purposes of this research. The main results of this research indicate a lack of application of the cultural competence principle when it comes to professionals in both countries, as well as a minimal involvement of institutions/organisations in dealing with this topic. At the end of the paper, the authors make recommendations in the direction of more proactive and culturally competent professionals in the field of social welfare in both countries.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the determinants of election victory in the Republic of Croatia. The main hypothesis of the paper is that in the Republic of Croatia the events of the 1990s, i.e., the Homeland War, had a stronger impact on the winners of the parliamentary elections in terms of the economic performance of the local self-government units (LSGs). Due to the availability of data, we focus on the 2016 parliamentary elections, and we model the victory of the two leading parties in Croatia – the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) – at the level of LSG. We develop a logistic regression model with the variable "election victory" at the LSG level as a dependent variable explained by the following variables: economic development at the LSG level, Homeland War covered LSGs, transparency of LSG budgets, election turnout, and government budget support to the LSGs. The results show that certain commonly accepted opinions, such as that voters in more economically developed LSGs vote more for the SDP on average, and that voters in war-affected LSGs vote more for the HDZ on average, have empirical confirmation.

Previous research has mostly overlooked the hotel employee- -related perspectives on (occupational) health, including its relation to pandemics (such as COVID-19). This research examines this perspective focusing on the case of the Slovenian hotel industry. An anonymous web questionnaire, as the only practical option, was sent during the lockdown to potential respondents from hotels throughout the country. For the analysis, the following approaches were employed: univariate analysis, the check of reliability and confidence intervals for the means, principal component analysis with Varimax rotation, and Spearman's and Pearson's rank-order correlations. The majority of respondents changed their attitude towards health during the pandemic (χ2 = 2.66). Using PCA, dimensionality-reduction of the dataset was implemented. A five-component solution, in which components account for 60.3% of the total variance, was identified. Due to low rs and rp, all components are negligibly correlated to demographic characteristics as well as to the respondents' changing health concerns due to COVID-19.

This article analyses public support for a property tax in Croatia. Who supports this tax and who opposes it? The analysis uses public opinion polls conducted by the Faculty of Political Science in 2016 and 2020. This makes it possible to compare the structure of public opinion before and after the large public debate from 2017 which resulted in a postponement of the tax. The article relies on previous work that showed a link between party identification and support for property taxation and extends this analysis with new data. The article shows that this link still existed in 2016 but that it disappeared in 2020. The article also examines the nature of citizens' economic views and asks if a new liberal orientation arose in the structure of public opinion in Croatia, following the debate on the property tax. The analysis suggests that moderately left-wing opinions still prevail in Croatia, but following the turbulent public discussion of the property tax, new combinations of economic views appear in which liberal and interventionist views intermingle.

U izdanju Hrvatske sveučilišne naklade i Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Rijeci objavljena je 2020. godine monografija Gerontologija: Izazovi i perspektive. Urednice su Jasminka Zloković i Anita Zovko. Obje autorice redovite su profesorice u trajnom zvanju na Odsjeku za pedagogiju Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Rijeci. Monografija je nastala kao rezultat dugogodišnjeg rada predstojnice Katedre za obiteljsku pedagogiju, prof. dr. sc. Jasminke Zloković, i predstojnice Katedre za obrazovanje odraslih i obrazovne politike, prof. dr. sc. Anite Zovko. Obje autorice, osim kolegija o usmjerenim pedagogijama ciljanih skupina, svoj su rad usmjerile prema društveno marginaliziranoj skupini osoba treće životne dobi. Prije izlaska monografije autorice su niz godina u sunositeljstvu provodile, i još uvijek provode, kolegij Pedagogija treće životne dobi na Filozofskom fakultetu u Rijeci. Koliki je interes za rad sa skupinama treće životne dobi vidi se i u činjenici da je navedeni kolegij dobio mjesto i na Fakultetu zdravstvenih studija pri Sveučilištu u Rijeci i na Studiju sestrinstva koji se izvodi na Sveučilištu Sjever. Monografija je sastavljena od jedanaest tematski povezanih cjelina koje daju pregled najvažnijih aspekata u razumijevanju rada s osobama treće životne dobi. Nakon predgovora, u monografiji su obrađene sljedeće teme prema istoimenim poglavljima: 2. Različiti pristupi starosti i starenju – izazovi i perspektive, 3. Stereotipi i činjenice o starenju i starosti, 4. Kvaliteta života starijih osoba i zadovoljstvo životom – izazovi i perspektive, 5. Odnos obitelji prema starijim osobama – Prinos istraživanju modela osnaživanja obitelji, 6. Obrazovni programi u svijetu za treću životnu dob, 7. Uloga baka i djedova u odgoju unuka, 8. Manipuliranje i nasilje u obitelji prema starijim osobama, 9. Učenje u zajednici u funkciji promicanja obiteljskog i socijalnog značaja starijih osoba, 10. Izazovi i perspektive u promicanju osnaživanja obitelji i kvalitete života starijih osoba i 11. Obiteljska i društvena podrška starijim osobama – izazovi obitelji i institucionalne skrbi. Gerontologija: izazovi i perspektive kombinacija je promišljanja andragoške prakse uz naglasak na važnosti temeljnih spoznaja iz obiteljske pedagogije. Povezivanjem ovih dviju specifičnih pedagogija pružen je temelj u razumijevanju značaja osoba treće životne dobi kroz njihove mogućnosti, uloge i značenja u društvu. Prvu tematsku cjelinu, Različiti pristupi starosti i starenju – izazovi i perspektive, uz urednice potpisuje i magistra pedagogije Dajana Kuzma.

The paper analyzes how social and political actors in Croatia understand prostitution by studying legal and policy documents related to the phenomenon. It also analyzes whether gender perspective is included in the existing or proposed prostitution policies. By using critical frame analysis, the paper identifies 5 dominant policy frames: public peace and order frame, protection of sexual freedoms frame, public health frame, gender-based violence frame, and sex work frame. The fact that prostitution is rarely discussed, and that only a limited number of actors deal with the issue, suggests that prostitution in Croatia is still understood as a taboo. The lack of discussion on prostitution in policy documents produced by the Government, and continuation of the inherited criminalization model suggests that political elites support the public peace and order frame. Only NGOs and the Ombudswoman for Gender Equality of the Republic of Croatia elaborate the issue of prostitution and advocate for a change in the existing legal and policy framework. However, only NGOs working on harm reduction include the voice of persons involved in prostitution.

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.

The goal of the study was to determine the extent to which seafarers' work and life satisfaction can be explained by the six aspects of work motivation based on the Self-Determination Theory. The research was conducted on a convenience sample of Croatian seafarers (N = 286), ranging from 18 to 65 years. The applied questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic and work characteristics questions, and measures of job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and six dimensions of work motivation. The results of regression analyses showed that two dimensions of work motivation with the highest level of self-determination contribute positively to the explanation of job satisfaction and life satisfaction: intrinsic motivation and integrated regulation. Furthermore, external regulation contributes positively to the explanation of life satisfaction, while amotivation has proven to be a significant negative predictor of job satisfaction. The results indicate the importance of developing and encouraging autonomy in work motivation in seafarers, but also the specifics of work motivation that are associated with the socio-economic context of the maritime profession in Croatia.
