Since the 1970s, punk has represented a prominent form of social protest and a subcultural alternative, associated with radicalism, alternative lifestyles and critique of the mainstream (Ambrosch, ...

This study examines the influence of sociodemographic factors and value preferences on membership in the metal subculture through an ex-post-facto cross-sectional survey involving 1251 participants, including 310 metal enthusiasts. Factors such as gender, age and commuting distance from urban areas were analysed across five subcultural aspects: dress style, concert attendance, social media activity, group affiliation and slang usage. Findings reveal that the metal subculture is most prevalent among middle-aged men but maintains shared value foundations across age groups. Gender plays a critical role in value differentiation: while men and women share external subcultural markers like style, their internal value systems diverge significantly. Women act as stabilizing agents, bridging the subculture with mainstream society and mitigating social exclusion. This research highlights the dynamics of subcultural identity, offering insights into its role in shaping personal identity and fostering community cohesion.

This research article aims to explore how employees are coping with working from home and provides practical suggestions for employers and managers adapting to the “new normal”. The main contribution of this research lies in the comprehensive integration of various aspects of managing a home office into four strategies, surpassing the findings of prior studies that focused on specific areas. This was achieved through a qualitative descriptive approach. Through semi-structured interviews with employees in the Czech Republic during the COVID-19 pandemic, four distinct employee types (“Working from Home is Not for Me”, “Yin and Yang”, “Holiday with Emergency”, and “Chameleon”) were identified based on their adaptation strategies. These strategies encompass aspects like time management, self- and family management, setting boundaries, task management, stress reduction, and adherence to rules. The article concludes by offering suggestions for more effective collaboration and employee management, taking into consideration their approach to remote work.

Digital technologies became one of the most important means of communication during the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to online learning and working from home, the pressure to increase ICT competencies has increased. This paper aims to analyse the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the skills for the digital age. The research data consists of two samples. The first was collected from October 2018 to June 2019 and the second from September 2020 to January 2022, i. e. during the period of anti-pandemic restrictions. The samples are representative of the Czech population. The hypotheses about the Covid-19 pandemic interference with the sociodemographic factors of age and gender and its significant impact on using smartphones, internet banking, and the internet to find information to further education were tested. The statistical significance of hypotheses were tested using ?2 statistics and Pearson G2 statistics for two-way (C ? R) and contingency tables. The change in the use of smartphones and internet banking in the COVID-19 pandemic era was proved. Internet use for further education significantly changed only in the group of respondents in middle adulthood.

The measurement of social and health threats poses a methodological problem. To preserve the validity and reliability of the measurement, the whole complex of these phenomena has to be discovered and covered by appropriate variables. Therefore, in our research, we changed the perspective from the measurement of the objective occurrence of the threat and instead focused on measuring the subjective recognition. In social sciences, the subjective perspective can be more important because the experience of threat is often more influential than objective recognition. Moreover, measuring the subjective perception of social and health threats from the respondent's perspective was used because identifying these threats is crucial in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. This paper intends to analyze subjectively recognized social and health threats caused by substance abuse. We developed four-dimensional scales to measure the influence of these threats on our key areas of life: health, family, community, and economy. All these scales can be inconsequential analyses related to fundamental sociodemographic factors or any other factorial variable. In this paper, we show the results of the influence of age and gender on each measured dimension of self-recognized threat. The research was designed as a cross-sectional ex-post-facto study. All dependencies were statistically analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test, and dependencies where the calculated probability (p) was less than 0.05 were marked as significant. Results less than .01 and .001 were also recorded. A pooled bivariate analysis of the relationship of substance endangerment across the dimensions was examined using a two factor ANOVA with two factors (substance and dimension of endangerment). Results where p less 05 were considered statistically significant.
