Introdução: O ritmo acelerado de vida dos professores em seu ambiente de trabalho, associado às múltiplas funções desempenhadas, conferem a essa categoria um elevado nível de esforço, sendo considerada uma das profissões com maior vulnerabilidade a problemas de saúde.Objetivo: Avaliar os motivos de não adesão à prática habitual de atividade física (PHAF) em professores da Educação Básica.Métodos: Estudo seccional, de abordagem qualitativa, com amostragem por conveniência composta por 193 docentes da cidade de Uberaba-MG. Foi desenvolvido um questionário estruturado para o estudo, constituído por perguntas sobre características sociodemográficas, de saúde e quanto aos motivos da não adesão à PHAF.Resultados: Todos os professores trabalhavam em duas escolas e ministravam, em média, 34 aulas por semana. O principal motivo para a não adesão à PHAF apontado foi a falta de tempo (78,2%), seguido de cansaço (8,8%), falta de ânimo (4,6%), dinheiro (3,6%), comodismo (2,0%), preguiça (1,5%) e falta de hábito (1,0%).Conclusão: A falta de tempo e os fatores secundários estão intimamente interligados e podem estar vinculados ao estresse relacionado à atividade docente afetando a motivação em praticar exercícios. Sugere-se que sejam realizados estudos longitudinais para que seja possível inferir causalidade quanto à associação de hábitos e comportamentos ativos dos professores com a falta de aderência à PHAF. Reasons for non-Adherence to Physical Exercise in Teachers of Basic Education: A Qualitative Sectional Study Introduction: The school work environment imposes on Brazilian teachers an accelerated pace of life, which combined with the multiple functions performed lead to high levels of effort.

Previous research has established that fear of crime victimization is a result of many factors including age, gender, race, income, neighbourhood variables, prior victimization and so on. The present research was conducted to test the following hypotheses: (1) fear of crime victimization is dependent on the country in which one lives; (2) socio-demographic characteristics affect fear of crime victimization; (3) economic status affects fear of crime victimization; and (4) prior experience of victimization affects fear of crime victimization. Using a structured questionnaire, constructed for the purpose, data were collected from a sample of 725 students from the city of Chennai (India) and 715 students from Mito City in Japan. The results of the study revealed that there was a difference in the level of fear of crime victimization between the respondents from India and Japan. Fear of crime victimization was influenced by some factors such as gender, age and the place of residence of respondents. In contrast to many previous studies relating to influence of prior victimization, it is puzzling to note that prior experience of crime victimization did not influence positively fear of crime victimization.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics and motivations of event visitors. The goals are to systematically identify socio-demographic characteristics of visitors to tourist events and identify key motivation for visiting tourist events. In addition, the research aims to investigate the correlation between the socio-demographic characteristics of visitors and their motivations for visiting a tourist event. The research was conducted among the visitors of a tourist event (103 respondents), using the survey method and a pre-designed structured questionnaire. The survey was conducted in April 2017, during the duration of an event which is held every year in the city of Zagreb in the Republic of Croatia. The results of the conducted research have shown significant differences between the different socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents and their motivations. Thus, women are more highly motivated by a desire for cultural experiences (34%), while men are motivated the most by curiosity/desire for new experiences (45%). Furthermore, correlation analysis has led to the conclusion that there is a significant correlation between motivation domains and the socio-demographic characteristics of respondents (gender, age and education). Understanding the visitors’ characteristics and event motivations could serve as a useful tool for event managers. It could help them to develop and manage events, with the aim of improving the event offering to meet the needs and demands of different visitors. Given the growing importance of events as an enrichment element of the tourism offering, this research can contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this field.

AbstractThe paper aims at exploring determinants of the university students' intentions to stay within their university region. At this, we presume that students' career choice motivations are related to their professional intentions, which again, along with demographic characteristics, affect their migration decision. Our analysis is based on a cross-sectional study of 2,353 students from three different higher education institutions, two of them located in Germany and one in Namibia. Results indicate that in Germany migration matters because a considerable proportion of students intend to leave the university region after graduation. At this, we found that the students' geographical provenance exerts the most significant effect on the intention to stay. Moreover, certain professional intentions were directly and some career choice motivations were indirectly linked with the intention to remain at the university location. We present several conclusions and implications.

Covid -19 is an infectious disease caused by the newly discovered strain of coronavirus. As there is no vaccine discovered, the only way to prevent the spread is through following the practice of social isolation. But prolonged isolation may also lead to psychological stress and problems. The objective of the survey was to assess the knowledge and awareness of preventive measures against Covid 19 amongst small shop owners. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted amongst the small shop owners.  A structured questionnaire comprising 15-17 questions had been put forth to assess the Covid 19 related knowledge and perception. The shopkeepers were contacted telephonically and responses recorded. The data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS statistics. Although the majority of the population had a positive perception about the preventive measures against the Covid spread, 36% of the shopkeepers were not aware of the preventive measures against the Covid spread. This study found optimal knowledge and perception of the preventive measures against Covid spread among the shopkeepers but misinformation and misunderstanding still prevailing. The shopkeepers are crucial in the prevention of the spread of Covid 19 and educating them might aid us in the fight against Covid- 19.
