Abstract: Povzetek Uvod: Covid-19 pogosto povzroči akutno respiratorno odpoved, zaradi česar številni bolniki potrebujejo mehansko ventilacijo in pronacijo. Pronacija izboljša oksigenacijo, vendar poveča tveganje za poškodbe tkiva zaradi tlaka, zlasti na sprednji strani telesa. Namen raziskave je bil analizirati vpliv trajanja pronacije, spola, starosti in indeksa telesne mase na pojav poškodb tkiva zaradi tlaka pri mehansko ventiliranih bolnikih s SARS-CoV-2. Metode: Izvedli smo retrospektivno kvantitativno raziskavo na vzorcu 100 bolnikov, ki so bili med hospitalizacijo v enoti covid intenzivne terapije pronirani več kot 24 ur. Zbrani podatki so vključevali demografske značilnosti, trajanje pronacije, lokacijo in stopnjo poškodbe tkiva zaradi tlaka. Uporabljena je bila EPUAP klasifikacija. Analizo smo izvedli s statističnim programom SPSS. Rezultati: Pri 79 % bolnikov smo zabeležili skupaj 184 poškodb tkiva zaradi tlaka, največ na obrazu in prsnem košu. Statistično značilno pogostejše so se poškodbe tkiva zaradi tlaka pojavile pri moških, bolnikih starejših od 60 let, z indeksom telesne mase več kot 28,4 kg/m² in pri dolgotrajni pronaciji (p < 0,05). Razprava in zaključek: Vpliv pronacije na pojav poškodb tkiva zaradi tlaka je multifaktorski. Na rezultate vplivajo tako fiziološki kot organizacijski dejavniki. Izsledki potrjujejo potrebo po ustrezni zaščiti stičnih točk in individualnem pristopu.

Abstract: Background/Purpose: The Covid 19 epidemic has forced many organizations to move to remote work (RW), and this trend is expected to continue even later in the post-epidemic period. Employees of the organization are at the heart of this transi-tion to RW, so identifying the factors that affect employee satisfaction with RW is very important for organizations to increase employee commitment and motivation. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to identify and prioritize the factors affecting employee satisfaction with RW using an innovative method. Method: In the first phase of this study, a conceptual research model was designed inspired by literature. In the next phase, the proposed conceptual model of this re-search was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). Then, using the artifi-cial neural network model, the importance of each of the model variables in pre-dicting employee satisfaction with RW was identified. Results: The findings of this article ultimately disclosed that work-life balance, in-stitutional and technological support, job satisfaction, and perceived limited com-munication are, respectively, are elements that affect employee satisfaction with RW. The first three factors are drivers of employee satisfaction and the last factor (i.e., perceived limited communication) is the constraint of employee satisfaction with RW because it had a statistically significant negative effect on employee satis-faction with RW. Conclusion: This study revealed that organizations should focus on the processes and strategies to improve employees’ work-life balance, provide institutional and technological support during remote work, and increase job satisfaction in order to increase the satisfaction level of their employees in the remote work. On the other hand, it was found that perceived limited communication is an effective factor that causes a decrease in the level of satisfaction of employees in remote work.

Abstract: The paper includes an exploratory qualitative research study on the impact and consequences of Covid-19 on business and organisational changes in the hotel industry in the Opatija Riviera area, which will have a medium- and long-term impact on the design of resilience and sustainable growth policies. The disruption caused by the pandemic is also important for hotel managers and management from the point of view of introducing crisis management processes, the results of which can be seen in the protection of the well-being of guests, employees and the general reputation of hotels. Therefore, hotel management needs to emphasise the importance of identifying business strategies and practices in business strategies and thus form the basis for effective crisis management.

Abstract: This chapter compares youth perceptions of societal norms in Croatia and Slovenia, revealing distinct mechanisms shaping their views. Croatian youth exhibit age-dependent patterns where growing autonomy influences the internalisation of societal expectations, leading to increasing self-confidence paired with a realistic reassessment of attainable life goals, particularly in education, housing, and financial independence. Slovenian youth, especially women, confront pronounced gender disparities rooted in structural inequities, burdening them with extensive societal and familial responsibilities. Both cohorts experience tension between individual aspirations and collective norms, with maturity prompting a shift from optimism to pragmatic evaluation of social milestones. Socioeconomic status (SES) strongly correlates with youths’ belief in personal success and adherence to societal expectations, with higher SES linked to greater confidence and internalisation, although national contexts mediate these effects. During the COVID-19 pandemic, age differences in justifying public health norms were minimal, but SES differences were significant, especially in Slovenia. Croatian youth showed less overall support for health measures but greater familial duty endorsement.

Abstract: This chapter examines youth well-being in Croatia and Slovenia before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular emphasis on mental health outcomes. Findings reveal a marked decline in life satisfaction across family life, friendships, and body image, with negative changes disproportionately affecting girls and young people of lower socio-economic status. During the pandemic, around one-fifth of respondents reported rarely or never experiencing positive emotions, while one-third frequently encountered negative states such as sadness, fear, or anger. Loneliness emerged as a significant concern, particularly among girls, though age-specific patterns differed between the two countries. Despite this, most young people retained access to supportive social networks, which served as an important protective factor. On the other hand, the post-pandemic period showed improvements in subjective well-being, which included stronger social connectedness and more positive emotional states. However, persistent vulnerabilities remain, particularly among girls, the youngest cohort, and youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.
