Analysis of the deradicalization program in the French Republic

In the Republic of France, dealing with the issue of radicalization and deradicalization is relatively recent. In French deradicalization programs, a highly centralized approach was applied with a large role of the government and a very small role of civil society. Also, deradicalization programs are structured and clearly set at the state level. The main aim of this paper is to analyze how the deradicalization programs was thought out and implemented in the Republic of France, as well as the results and success of these programs. It can be concluded that the deradicalization programs in France have their shortcomings and there are no clearly established criteria by which to evaluate the program and, if necessary, modify them to make them more successful. The research methods used in the work are deductive method, analysis method, descriptive method and case study method

Perception of Weapon Availability and New Sources for Weapon Knowledge in a Convenient Sample of Croatian Youth

The aim of this research is to examine the perception of weapon availability and new sources for weapon knowledge of young people from Croatia. The last research about weapons (attitudes, availability, knowledge) in Croatia was conducted 12 years ago and there has been no significant research since so there is a serious gap of information in this field. 82 students (59% males and 41% females) in the age between 18 to 24 from the University of Applied Sciences Velika Gorica participated in this survey. The questionnaire included the introductory instructions and questions about sociodemographic data, questions about the weapons perception and knowledge. The results show that 88% of young people find it easy to get a weapon in the time interval of 2-7 days (30.9%). In the real environment, weapons are most easily reachable in specialized gun stores (82%), in the streets (72%) and in schools (44.1%). Results of online availability of weapons show that 68.3% of participants believe that it is possible to obtain weapons through online shopping and 61% through online forums. The largest source of knowledge about weapons is Internet (71.5%). Almost half of the students perceives that firearms are available in schools and almost third that it is available in colleges. It seems that firearms are more accessible in the real physical environment than online but students learn more about guns through the Internet and media than in the physical environment. Our results may indicate possible weapons availability to young people in Croatia

Building Partnerships to Address Challenging Social Problems

A parent in prison creates disruption and stress for the entire family system. In order to provide family programming to this high-risk population, a partnership was created among the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Cooperative Extension, UNH Department of Family Studies, and New Hampshire\u27s Department of Corrections. This partnership is called The Family Connection Project. Programming objectives are to strengthen at-risk families and improve the healthy development of children with incarcerated parents through a family-centered, strength-based approach. The acquisition of positive parenting/relationship skills is expected to increase protective factors and decrease risk factors in families with an incarcerated parent

Mikroschadstoffe in Oberflächengewässern und Grundwasser

Mikroonečišćivala ili tzv. nove onečišćujuće tvari (eng. emerging contaminants) se nalaze u prirodnim vodotocima u vrlo malim koncentracijama. Najčešće su posljedica ljudske djelatnosti, bilo industrijske aktivnosti, poljoprivrede ili jednostavno zbog načina života, a prilikom prolaska kroz uređaje za pročišćavanje otpadnih voda te se tvari ne izdvajaju već ulaze u prirodne vodonosne sustave. Iako se u prirodnim vodotocima pojavljuju u relativno niskim koncentracijama, svejedno izazivaju zabrinutost znanstvenika i sve veća pažnja se posvećuje istraživanju takvih spojeva, jer su često štetna za okoliš i ljude, a pogotovo ukoliko dođe do njihovog razlaganja na toksičnije spojeve. Danas zbog intenzifikacije ljudske djelatnosti i razlaganja tvari, postupno dolazi do povećanja koncentracija mikroonečišćivala u okolišu te postaje obveza istražiti različite mogućnosti pročišćavanja otpadnih voda kako bi se smanjio utjecaj na okoliš. Stoga, ovaj rad daje pregled ranije detektiranih mikroonečišćivala u površinskim i podzemnim vodama na području Europe kako bi se u daljnjim istraživanjima obratila pažnja na mogućnost pojavljivanja istih ili njihovih produkata razgradnje.Micropollutants, or emerging contaminants, are found in very small concentrations in natural watercourses. They are mostly a consequence of human activities, e.g. industrial activities, agriculture, or simply lifestyle-related. These substances, when passing through waste water treatment plants, are not isolated, thus entering natural water systems. Although they appear in relatively low concentrations in natural watercourses, they still cause concern among scientists. There is a growing research of these compounds, since they are often harmful both for the environment and humans, particularly if they break down to more toxic compounds. As human activities intensify, micropollutant concentrations in the environment gradually increase, so we have the obligation to research different possibilities of waste water treatment in order to reduce their environmental impact. This paper offers an overview of earlier detected micropollutants in surface waters and groundwater in Europe with the aim of drawing attention to their potential appearance, or of products of their breakdown, in further research.Mikroschadstoffe oder die sogenannten neuartigen oder auftauchenden Schadstoffe (eng. emerging contaminants) befinden sich in natürlichen Wasserläufen in ganz kleinen Konzentrationen. Meistens entstehen sie als Folge menschlicher Aktivitäten, z.B. industrieller Tätigkeit, intensiver Landwirtschaft oder einfach moderner Lebensweise. Während der Behandlung in Abwasserreinigungsanlagen werden diese Stoffe nicht beseitigt, sondern sie gelangen auch in Grundwasserleitersysteme. Obwohl sie in natürlichen Wasserläufen in relativ niedrigen Konzentrationen vorkommen, erforschen die Wissenschaftler intensiver diese Schadstoffe, weil sie oft Umwelt und Mensch schädigen können, namentlich wenn sie in giftigere Verbindungen zersetzt werden. Heute kommt es wegen der Intensivierung der menschlichen Tätigkeit und Stoffzersetzung schrittweise zur Erhöhung von Konzentration der Mikroschadstoffe in der Umwelt, und so wird es zur Pflicht verschiedene Methoden zur Abwasserreinigung zu untersuchen um die Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt zu verringern. Dieser Beitrag gibt eine Übersicht über die schon entdeckten Mikroschadstoffen in Oberflächengewässern und im Grundwasser in Europa, damit in künftigen Untersuchungen die Möglichkeit des Auftretens dieser Schadstoffe oder ihrer Zersetzungsprodukten auch in Betracht gezogen werden kann
