This study aims to determine the factors which constraint and facilitate individuals’ participation to physical activities. Sample group of the study consist of 691 individuals who live in different districts of Ankara and chosen by random sampling method. In the study “Leisure Constraints Scale-18” is used to determine the factors that constraint individuals’ participation to physical activities and “Leisure Facilitators Scale” to determine the factors that facilitate the individuals’ participation to physical activities. As a statistical method frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, single factorial MANOVA, and Pearson Correlation tests were used. According to the analysis results, it is determined that “Intrinsic Facilitators” is a factor that affects women to participate physical activity and has a higher role in constraining single participants to join physical activity. Furthermore, it is revealed that perceptions of constraint decrease with the increase in participants’ level of income. As a result, the most important factor that constraints individuals’ participation to physical activity is “Structural Constraints” and the most important factor that facilitates is “Intrapersonal Facilitators”.  Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı bireylerin fiziksel aktivitelere katılımını engelleyen/kısıtlayan ve kolaylaştıran faktörleri belirlemektir. Çalışmanın örneklem grubunu Ankara ilindeki farklı ilçelerde ikamet eden ve basit tesadüfi örneklem yöntemi ile seçilen 691 birey oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada bireylerin fiziksel aktivitelere katılımını engelleyen/kısıtlayan faktörleri belirlemek için “Boş Zaman Engelleri Ölçeği-18” ve kolaylaştıran faktörlerin belirlenmesi için “Serbest Zaman Kolaylaştırıcıları Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; frekans, aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma; ANOVA, tek faktörlü MANOVA ve Pearson Korelasyon testleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, “Yapısal Kolaylaştırıcılar” ın kadınların fiziksel aktiviteye katılımlarına etki eden önemli bir unsur olduğu ve bekâr katılımcılar için fiziksel aktiviteye katılımı engellemedeki rolünün daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların gelir düzeylerindeki artışla birlikte engel algılarının azaldığı da bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, bireylerin fiziksel aktiviteye katılımını engelleyen en önemli unsurun “Yapısal Engeller”, katılımlarını kolaylaştıran en önemli faktörün ise “Bireysel Kolaylaştırıcılar” olduğu ifade edilebilir.

For Slovenes in the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes the year 1919 represented the final step to a new political beginning. With the end of the united all-Slovene liberal party organisation and the formation of separate liberal parties, the political party life faced a new era. Similar development was showing also in the Marxist camp. The Catholic camp was united. For the first time, Slovenes from all political camps took part in the state government politics and parliament work. They faced the diminishing of the independence, which was gained in the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, and the mutual fight for its preservation or abolition. This was the beginning of national-political separations in the later Yugoslav state. The year 1919 was characterized also by the establishment of the Slovene university and early occurrences of social discontent. A declaration about the new historical phenomenon – Bolshevism, had to be made. While the region of Prekmurje was integrated to the new state, the questions of the Western border and the situation with Carinthia were not resolved. For the Slovene history, the year 1919 presents a multi-transitional year.

The story of anti-communism in California schools is a tale well and often told. But few scholars have appreciated the important role played by private surveillance networks. This article examines how privately funded and run investigations shaped the state government’s pursuit of leftist educators. The previously-secret papers of Major General Ralph H. Van Deman, which were opened to researchers at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., only a few years ago, show that the general operated a private spy network out of San Diego and fed information to military, federal, and state government agencies. Moreover, he taught the state government’s chief anti-communist bureaucrat, Richard E. Combs, how to recruit informants and monitor and control subversives. The case of the suspicious death of one University of California, Los Angeles student – a student that the anti-communists claimed had been “scared to death” by the Reds – shows the extent of the collaboration between Combs and Van Deman. It further illustrates how they conspired to promote fear of communism, influence hiring and firing of University of California faculty, and punish those educators who did not support their project. Although it was rarely successful, Combs’ and Van Deman’s coordinated campaign reveals a story of public-private anticommunist collaboration in California that has been largely forgotten. Because Van Deman’s files are now finally open to researchers, Californians can gain a much more complete understanding of their state bureaucracy’s role in the Red Scare purges of California educators.

Fracking has helped to usher in an era of energy abundance in the United States. This advanced drilling procedure has helped the nation to attain the status of the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the world, but some of its negative externalities, such as human-induced seismicity, can no longer be ignored. The occurrence of earthquakes in communities located at proximity to disposal wells with no prior history of seismicity has shocked residents and have caused damages to properties. It has evoked individuals’ resentment against the practice of injection of fracking’s wastewater under pressure into underground disposal wells. Though the oil and gas companies have denied the existence of a link between such a practice and earthquakes and the local and state governments have delayed their responses to the unforeseen seismic events, the issue has gained in prominence among researchers, affected community residents, and the media. This case study has offered a glimpse into the varied responses of stakeholders to human-induced seismicity in a small city in the state of Texas. It is evident from this case study that although individuals’ complaints and protests from a small community may not be successful in bringing about statewide changes in regulatory policies on disposal of fracking’s wastewater, they can add to the public pressure on the state government to do something to address the problem in a state that supports fracking.
