1. Adolescents’ attitudes toward educational and employment status after leaving residential care : the case of SloveniaJovita Pogorevc, Tina Štemberger, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This study examines adolescents’ attitudes toward education and employment following their departure from residential care (RC) centers. Data were collected from adolescents currently residing in RC centers through a structured questionnaire, which addressed four key dimensions: (i) negative attitudes toward further schooling, (ii) passive attitudes toward job searching, (iii) active job searching and (iv) aspirations for independence. A total of 95 participants took part in the study. Overall, the findings indicate that adolescents generally do not exhibit negative attitudes toward continuing their education. However, female participants demonstrated greater motivation to pursue further schooling compared to their male counterparts, and adults showed a higher readiness for continued education than minors. Respondents also expressed a strong intent to seek employment after leaving RC centers, rejecting reliance on social support. They displayed a preference for securing stable, permanent jobs aligned with their training. Additionally, the participants reported high aspirations for independent living, including securing well-paying jobs, and expressed a strong commitment to achieving these goals. Notably, this aspiration was more pronounced among minors.

4. Perceived threat of COVID-19 and future travel avoidance : results from an early convenient sample in SloveniaMaja Turnšek, Boštjan Brumen, Marjetka Rangus, Mitja Gorenak, Janez Mekinc, Tanja Lešnik Štuhec, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: The present study provides a snapshot of Slovenian tourists' perceptions in a historically unique point of time - the early days of the covid-19-related lockdown. Based on an online survey performed in March and April 2020 the study provides first insights into Slovenian tourists% perceived threats of covid-19 on two dimensions: severity and susceptibility; how this depends on their demography and past travel experience and what, in this specific point in time, they think about future travel avoidance. The results have shown that age affects the two measured dimensions of perceived threat and future travel avoidance, but only with women. Furthermore, people who have travelled the most in the past express the least likelihood of avoidance to travel due to the covid -19 pandemic. Those who are more educated, on the other hand, perceive higher risk, yet education has no role in their expressed future travel avoidance. The results, moreover, show that the moral obligation towards taking care of others might be a highly important element in the success factor of covid-19 measures and thus future appeals by the tourism industry. Finally, the results show that we cannot easily predict how the general population will behave regarding their future travel avoidance since the opinions are not polarised in the extremes. This does indicate, however, that tourists will be susceptible to the context-specific factors of future travel decisions, such as assurances of health safety provided by the tourism industry.
