Članek se osredini na občutke varnosti in zaznave varnostnih pojavov na fakultetah in v krajih študija pri študentih Univerze v Mariboru. V študiji, ki je potekala v letu 2025, je sodelovalo 564 študentov in študentk z vseh fakultet Univerze v Mariboru. Statistične analize so izpostavile povezave med odnosi na fakultetah in zaznavo varnosti v kraju študija ter zaznavo varnosti na fakultetah pri študentih. Hkrati so rezultati izpostavili razlike v zaznavah varnostnih problemov v kraju študija in posledicah viktimizacije med študenti in študentkami. Ključni pojmi: varnost, odnosi, viktimizacija, študenti, Univerza v Mariboru.
Članek predstavi vlogo in pomen stripov v političnih in oboroženih konfliktih na Bližnjem vzhodu, njihovo poročevalsko in komentatorsko funkcijo ter spremembe skozi čas. Avtorica predstavi tudi stripovski pogled na dogajanje od zunaj ter kontekstualizira stripovsko umetnost na območju, kjer so v preteklosti prevladovale dekorativne in stilizirane podobe, ne pa tudi figuralne upodobitve, tipične za ta medij. Ključni pojmi: strip, Bližnji vzhod, konflikt, figurativna umetnost, dokumentarnost.
Članek obravnava različne strategije, ki jih uporabljata Joe Sacco in Tomaž Lavrič pri reprezentaciji vojne v Bosni in Hercegovini, ter tiste poteze, ki najbolj vidno zaznamujejo postjugoslovansko transformacijo. Z analizo Saccove pričevanjske reportaže in Lavričeve alegorične groteskne poetike besedilo pokaže, da oba umetnika intervenirata v konstelacijo vojnega kapitalizma in ekstremnega nacionalizma. Članek trdi, da strip s svojo hibridno obliko besede in podobe demokratizira spomin tako, da teren spominjanja in žalovanja odpre kritiki in politični imaginaciji. Ključni pojmi: Joe Sacco, Tomaž Lavrič, postjugoslovanske vojne, protispomin, prvobitna akumulacija spomina, stripovsko novinarstvo, groteskni realizem, kritika nacionalizma.
Alan Ford, italijanski strip, ki sta ga leta 1969 ustvarila Max Bunker in Magnus, je kmalu po prevodu v hrvaščino v Jugoslaviji postal izjemno popularen. Njegov ironični pristop k žanru vohunjenja, združen z nadrealističnim črnim humorjem in satirično kritiko Italije in Zahoda, je očitno odlično preveden v ironično upodobitev jugoslovanske politike tistega obdobja, ki je večinoma vplivala tudi na sodobno politiko v postjugoslovanskih državah. Članek se osredini na komične aspekte jugoslovanskega Alana Forda, še zlasti pa na ironijo in tavtologijo kot dvoje specifičnih tehnik proizvajanja komičnega učinka, ki si jih komedija deli z ideologijo. Ključni pojmi: Alan Ford, Jugoslavija, komedija, ideologija.
Slovenska vojska se v sodobnem digitalnem okolju sooča z izzivom učinkovitega nagovarjanja mladih z vidika zaposlovanja. V ta namen je oblikovala promocijsko znamko Postani vojak, namenjeno promociji vojaškega poklica in rekrutaciji. Namen članka je predstaviti izsledke analize z vidika učinkovitosti te znamke kot orodja strateškega komuniciranja. Raziskava temelji na kvalitativni študiji primera, podprti s pregledom literature in z analizo javno dostopnih kvantitativnih podatkov. Ugotovitve kažejo, da so izbrani komunikacijski kanali ustrezni in povezani s pozitivnim učinkom, vendar obstajajo komunikacijske vrzeli, katerih odprava bi lahko dodatno izboljšala rekrutacijske rezultate ter okrepila participacijo ciljne javnosti. Ključni pojmi: strateško komuniciranje, promocijska znamka, digitalni mediji, študija primera, Slovenska vojska.
Pričujoči članek raziskuje dokumentarno snov v kontekstu stripovske umetnosti in je razdeljen na dva dela. Prvi del sestavljata celostna analiza izraznih zmožnosti in omejitev stripovskega izraza ter razčlemba izraznih sredstev, ki ga sestavljajo, pri čemer pa se delo posebej posveti soodvisnosti teh sredstev. Prvi del je zato podlaga za primerjavo dokumentarnih vsebin v fotografiji in stripovski risbi, ki sestavlja drugi del te naloge. Skozi primerjavo postane razvidno, kako je tudi fotografija podvržena kontekstu, v katerem se znajde, in kako se pristnost v obeh medijih kaže v povezavi s podajanjem dokumentarnih vsebin. Ključni pojmi: strip, risba, fotografija, mímesis, dokumentarnost.
State and social resilience is a salient topic in current political and, thus, defence and military strategic decision-making. The increased armament capabilities of states is a consequence of the rise in state and social resilience. Among the general hysteria of increasing military firepower alone, one cannot avoid the feeling that many areas of social resilience, as key state infrastructure, are being ignored. A generally ignored part of critical infrastructure is the area of public health. In this article, a broad outline is provided of the EU and especially the Slovenian public health system, while an operational-tactical plan for public health in emergency or war situations is proposed. Keywords: public health, disaster medicine, state of war, state of emergency, extraordinary circumstances.
Članek analizira, pod katerimi pogoji režimska prekrivanja spodbudijo ali omejijo cilje mednarodnega sodelovanja ter kako režimska kompleksnost vpliva na strategije, v okviru katerih akterji naslavljajo problematiko upravljanja migracij za zagotavljanje dostopa do pravic posameznikom, ki so morali zapustiti svojo državo. Članek na podlagi analize elementov režimske kompleksnosti oblikuje analitični okvir za preučevanje vpliva režimske kompleksnosti na sodelovanje na preseku režimov mednarodnega varstva človekovih pravic in varstva beguncev. Analiza v članku razkrije, da se zaradi režimske kompleksnosti na proučevanem preseku odpirajo priložnosti za sodelovanje, ki jih akterji izkoriščajo, da se izognejo manj ustreznim mednarodnopravnim načelom, institucijam in mehanizmom. Ključni pojmi: režimska kompleksnost, mednarodno sodelovanje, pravice beguncev, mednarodni režim varstva človekovih pravic.
Namen članka je analizirati slovnične oblike, v katerih so se pojavljala poimenovanja poklicev, ter s pomočjo feministične stilistike na ravni poklicnih poimenovanj odkriti vidike seksizma v jeziku. Analiza zajema štiri časovne točke (1958, 1978, 1998 in 2018) in se osredotoča na tri časopise/revije (Delo, Gospodarski vestnik in Naša žena). Ugotovitve kažejo, da je bil jezik v veliki meri podvržen seksizmu, kar se kaže predvsem v prevladujoči rabi moške slovnične oblike kot generične in v spolno specifični rabi jezika pri naslavljanju poklicev. Omenjeni praksi sta odraz uveljavljene jezikovne norme, pa tudi spolnih stereotipov. Ključni pojmi: jezik, spol, seksizem, seksistični jezik, poklici, poklicna poimenovanja.
The article explores documentary material in the context of comic art and is divided into two parts. The first part presents comprehensive analysis of the expressive capacities and limitations of comic art, along with its constitutive elements, with close attention to their interdependence. The first part therefore establishes a basis for comparing the representation of documentary content in photography and comic art, which forms the focus of the second part of the article. Through this comparison, the study reveals how photography, too, is shaped by its contextual framing and explores where authenticity lies in both media in relation to the presenting of documentary material.
The article focuses on feelings of safety and perceptions of security problems among students of the University of Maribor, particularly at faculties and places of study. A study was conducted in 2025, involving 564 male and female students from all faculties at the University of Maribor. Statistical analyses highlighted correlations between relations on the faculty level and perceptions of safety at the place of study, as well as perceptions of safety at faculties among students. The results also revealed differences in perceptions of security problems at the study site and the consequences of victimisation between male and female students.
The article examines the distinct counter-narrative strategies employed by Joe Sacco and Tomaz Lavric in representing the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and what marks in a determinant way the post-Yugoslav transformation generally. Through analysis of Sacco's testimonial reportage and Lavri & ccaron;'s allegorical grotesque realism, it is argued that both artists intervene in the general political economy, the advent of war capitalism, and extreme nationalism. The article contends that through their hybrid form of image and word comics democratise memory by reopening the terrain of mourning to critique and political imagination.
In the contemporary digital environment, the Slovenian Armed Forces face the challenge of being able to effectively engage young people in the context of recruitment. To meet this challenge, the promotional brand Postani vojak was developed to promote the military profession and support recruitment efforts. In this article, the findings of analysis examining the effectiveness of this brand as a tool of strategic communication are presented. The research is based on a qualitative case study, supported by a review of relevant literature and analysis of publicly available quantitative data. The findings indicate even though the selected communication channels are appropriate and associated with positive outcomes, communication gaps remain that, if reduced, would further improve recruitment results and boost the target audience's participation.
The article explores the relationship between friendships and life satisfaction among adults who have pronounced hermit-like personality traits. Data from 190 participants were analysed, among whom 24 met the criteria for a hermit-like profile. The results show the number of friends (both online and online) was not a significant predictor of life satisfaction. Instead, participants' well-being was associated with reflective self-regulation and selective social connectedness. Demographic variables, including age, education, occupation, and marital status, proved not to be significant predictors. The findings reveal that life satisfaction in individuals with hermit-like characteristics stems from a balance between introspective solitude and authentic relationships more than the breadth of their social networks.
An interpretation of Tiziano Sclavi's comic series Dylan Dog as a sustained melancholic inquiry is provided in the article. Dylan's melancholic epistemology, a way of knowing grounded in repetition, ambivalence and loss grants him almost metaphysical lucidity. Such an internal condition becomes a melancholic methodology, a hermeneutics of loss that actively resists closure and deduction. The comic's horror functions as a language of mourning, with monsters embodying the unresolved collective losses and structural failures of late modernity. Dylan's ethical persistence constitutes a radical practice of political existence in the face of a systemic impasse.
The aim of the article is to reflect on the process of disseminating ethnographic research via the language of comics, drawing on the author's experience as a (co-)author of La linea dell'orizzonte. An ethnographic novel on migration between Bangladesh, Italy, and London. The mentioned experience helped to identify certain advantages of conveying ethnography through comic books: effective communication of the research process; a precise depiction of the spatial and environmental context in which the social phenomenon examined occurs; a suitable rendering of the emotional atmosphere; and a deep exploration of the researcher's reflexive processes. Accordingly, in this article these opportunities and limitations are investigated along with other possibilities and constraints encountered by the author in the process of composing an 'ethnographic novel'.
Despite efforts made by the Republic of Serbia to boost women's cess to resources and entrepreneurial knowledge, and the balancing of professional and private responsibilities. The aim of the article is to determine the extent to which national legislation is gender-responsive; namely, whether it addresses the unique challenges faced by women when starting and growing a business. Gender analysis is the primary method of this assessment, with findings showing the legislation still does not fully support women's entrepreneurial activities. By being mainly gender-blind, in that it ignores gender differences concerning opportunities and resource allocation for women and men, the legislation does not contribute to developing a context that promotes women's entrepreneurship. The mentioned goal would be achieved by introducing gender-transformative legislation that provides a clear definition of 'women's entrepreneurship', 'women-owned business' and 'women-led business', engenders taxation and corporate regulation, and introduces measures which give support to women when launching and growing a business. Simultaneously, women entrepreneurs should be provided with the same maternity leave rights as those enjoyed by women who work for an employer.
The text presents the role and significance of comics in political and armed conflicts in the Middle East, their reporting and commentary function, and changes of media through time. The author also presents a comics perspective on events from the outside view and contextualises comics art in an area where decorative and stylised images, rather than figural depictions typical of this medium, have historically dominated.
Originally an Italian comic book created in 1969 by Max Bunker and Magnus, soon after its translation in Serbo-Croatian Alan Ford became hugely popular in Yugoslavia. Its ironic take on the genre of espionage, combined with surreal black humour and a satirical critique of Italy and the West in general, evidently brilliantly translated as an ironic depiction of not only Yugoslav party politics of the period, but contemporary politics in post-Yugoslav countries as well. The article thus deals with the comic aspects of the Yugoslav Alan Ford, concentrating on its specific irony and tautology since both provide a direct link between the spheres of comedy and ideology.
