Nevenka Podgornik[1]
Abstract:
The article deals with the topic of energy psychology, which is not yet well researched and allows for the possibility of further study and scientific substantiation. It shows the use of one of the methods of energy psychology, the technique of emotional relaxation - EFT, in psychotherapy in terms of combining and complementing to achieve more effective results. The outline of theoretical starting points complements the attempt to scientifically substantiate the method on the basis of several relevant studies and works that show the effective use of the method in psychotherapy. In conclusion, the article presents a case study, an illustration of the use of the EFT method in combination with the psychotherapy approach on a specific case from practice. In conclusion of the article, in addition to a summary of the contents, a conclusion is given dealing with the feasibility of further research in this field.
Key words: psychotherapy, energy psychology, EFT method, case study

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore how small hotel entrepreneurs measure performance of their small tourist accommodation business. Empirical research was carried out in Slovenia from May 2014 until June 2015. Data were collected in 62 in-depth semi-structured personal interviews with small hotel entrepreneurs and managers. Qualitative data were analysed by using the method of content analysis. The results show that when monitoring the performance and assessing the success of their small hotels entrepreneurs apply up to five performance measures and combine economic and noneconomic ones. Additionally, entrepreneurs perceive the success of their business also through their own satisfaction.
Key words: performance measures, SMEs in tourism, hospitality entrepreneurship, tourist accommodation, small hotels

THE COMPLEXITY OF SECURITY PERCEPTION |
|
|
|
Gregor Garb
Abstract
The contemporary international security environment can be described as a rapid and fundamentally changing environment, which is subject to unpredictable changes with global dimensions. The consequences of globalization processes and their responses have further on increased its coherence, complexity and uncertainty. Due to the emergence of various forms of rivalry between large and regional powers, its multipolar character is globally strengthened.In the modern security paradigm, the synergistic links between many risks and threats, which can grow from completely non-hazardous and locally isolated and irreconcilable to purely realistic, are not negligible, mainly due to their abundance and general globalization trends. As a rule, their bearers are non-state actors, however they are complex in nature, often difficult to predict and can have multiple characters and effects.
In such an interdependent, complex and conflicting international environment, today, no country can guarantee its national security on its own. Multinational partnerships, regional cooperation, response within the international rules-based and multilateralism system are one of the key factors in responding to the challenges of globalized security.
The EU is also contributing its share of approaches to global challenges through its global strategy. In addition to its traditional soft power, it highlights other priorities in terms of policies and instruments.
Keywords: Globalizing Security, Contemporary Security Paradigm, Multilateralism, European Union.

WHAT'S UP? NOT SO MUCH. NETWORKING AND COMMUNICATION VIA SOCIAL NETWORK SITES |
|
|
|
Tadej Praprotnik
Abstract
The article presents the phenomena of social network sites as a modern and important framework for communication and establishing relationships. The article therefore presents some global trends characteristic for modern society. One of the major driving forces within social network sites is so-called networked individualism. Our society is network society, so networking is one of the basic organizational principles. The article problematizes communication practices within social network sites and presents some explanations. The article presents comparison between early text based (anonymous) on-line communication (chat-rooms and discussion forums), which were more topic-oriented and current networking and communication via social network sites, which are more personal–oriented (Me-Centered Society). The major shift is from communication toward networking. Networking presupposes lots of networked and connected people. This has influence toward communication practices; because it is difficult to maintain deep and content rich communication with lots of individuals, the phatic function of communication is prevailing. Within social network sites different types of information are exchanged. The motivation to be nice and conflict–avoidant influence upon what kind of information and what kind of communication we are looking for. The prevalence of “light” information is just one characteristic. As a consequence the article also stresses the potential danger in case individuals build their knowledge mostly or solely upon information recommended by their Facebook friends.
Key words: social network sites, communication, networked individualism, Facebook, phatic communion

SOCIAL-ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF CYBERCRIME |
|

Aleksandar Ilievski, Igor Bernik
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to highlight the main issues of developing countries regarding cybercrime and examine the possible link between weak economic development and escalating levels of cybercrime. The findings were established on the basis of literature review, comparative studies and the synthesis of findings. The existing sociological theories of crime are not limited to traditional crime and may be used for the interpretation of its cyber version. By analysing individual sociological theories and the results of empirical research, we found that social-economic factors, such as GDP per capita, unemployment and education, are closely related to the incidence of cybercrime in different countries. This enables us to conclude that the relatively poor economic development is one of the reasons contributing to a higher incidence of cybercrime in Eastern European countries. By taking into account factors of different nature, one could increase the understanding of cybercrime and the possibility of adopting and implementing reliable preventive measures. However, this paper strives not only to understand the factors related to cybercrime, but also to raise awareness, stimulate a proactive approach and develop preventive actions in the fight against cybercrime.
Keywords: social-economic aspects, cybercrime, economic development.
