    Excessive internet use by young Europeans: psychological vulnerability and digital literacy?

    This paper combines clinical-psychological and digital literacy frameworks to shed new light on explanations for excessive Internet use (EIU). The combination of these opposing approaches leads to a more comprehensive explanation of intense use with negative outcomes. A survey with a random sample of 18,709 Internet-using children between 11 and 16 years old was carried out in 25 European countries. The study shows that there are interactional and indirect relationships between psychological and digital literacy variables and EIU. Psychologically vulnerable children with higher levels of digital engagement have the most negative outcomes while the least at risk are non-vulnerable children with high levels of literacy (interactional relationship). In reality, psychologically vulnerable children’s risk of negative outcomes is exacerbated by their tendency to spend more time online but countered by their lower literacy levels (contradicting direct and indirect relationships). Among those who are not vulnerable, digital literacy is weakly related to negative outcomes. The implications of these results for future research are that explanations for EIU should incorporate psychological and digital literacy indicators. Practical implications are that clinical psychologists working with EIU should consider digital literacy in developing interventions and that digital inclusion interventions should consider the potential negative impact of increased Internet use on vulnerable young people. This paper’s original contribution lies in showing that whether intense Internet use is related to negative outcomes depends on the psychological characteristics of the child

    Sadašnje stanje Katoličke crkve i katoličkog vjeronauka u školi u Republici Češkoj još uvijek je pod utjecajem važnih povijesnih događaja. Među njih svakako valja ubrojiti spaljivanje Jana Husa (1415), bitku kod Bijele gore nedaleko od Praga (1620), vladavinu Habsburgovaca i razdoblje komunističkoga totalitarnog režima. Danas je broj katolika u Republici Češkoj malen, pa je prema tome malen i broj učenika koji pohađaju katolički vjeronauk u javnoj školi. Vjeroučitelji laici se formiraju na teološkim učilištima, a nerijetko imaju i drugu profesiju.The current situation of the Catholic Church and Catholic religious education in schools in the Czech Republic is still under the influence of important historical events. Among them is certainly the burning of Jan Hus (1415), the Battle of White Hill near Prague (1620), the rule of the Habsburgs and the period of communist totalitarian rule. Today, the number of Catholics in the Czech Republic is small, and consequently a small number of students attend Catholic religious education in public schools. Lay RE teachers are formed at the theological seminary, and often have a second profession.Die jetzige Situation der Katholischen Kirche und des katholischen Religionsunterrichts in der Tschechischen Republik sind noch immer unter dem Einfluss wichtiger geschichtlichen Ereignisse. Dazu zählen vor allem Verbrennung des Jan Hus (1415), die Schlacht auf dem Weissen Berg unweit von Prag (1620), die Habsburger- Herrschaft wie auch der Zeitraum der kommunistischen totalitären Herrschaft. Heute ist die Anzahl der Katholiken in der Tschechischen Republik klein, demzufolge ist auch die Anzahl der Schüler klein, die den katholischen Religonsunterricht in der Schule besuchen.

    Increased risk of traffic accidents in subjects with latent toxoplasmosis: a retrospective case-control study

    BACKGROUND: The parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects 30–60% of humans worldwide. Latent toxoplasmosis, i.e., the life-long presence of Toxoplasma cysts in neural and muscular tissues, leads to prolongation of reaction times in infected subjects. It is not known, however, whether the changes observed in the laboratory influence the performance of subjects in real-life situations. METHODS: The seroprevalence of latent toxoplasmosis in subjects involved in traffic accidents (N = 146) and in the general population living in the same area (N = 446) was compared by a Mantel-Haenszel test for age-stratified data. Correlation between relative risk of traffic accidents and level of anti-Toxoplasma antibody titre was evaluated with the Cochran-Armitage test for trends. RESULTS: A higher seroprevalence was found in the traffic accident set than in the general population (Chi(2)(MH) = 21.45, p < 0.0001). The value of the odds ratio (OR) suggests that subjects with latent toxoplasmosis had a 2.65 (C.I.(95)= 1.76–4.01) times higher risk of an accident than the toxoplasmosis-negative subjects. The OR significantly increased with level of anti-Toxoplasma antibody titre (p < 0.0001), being low (OR = 1.86, C.I.(95) = 1.14–3.03) for the 99 subjects with low antibody titres (8 and 16), higher (OR = 4.78, C.I.(95) = 2.39–9.59) for the 37 subjects with moderate titres (32 and 64), and very high (OR = 16.03, C.I.(95) = 1.89–135.66) for the 6 subjects with titres higher than 64. CONCLUSION: The subjects with latent toxoplasmosis have significantly increased risk of traffic accidents than the noninfected subjects. Relative risk of traffic accidents decreases with the duration of infection. These results suggest that 'asymptomatic' acquired toxoplasmosis might in fact represent a serious and highly underestimated public health problem, as well as an economic problem
