The aim of this research was to determine the role of sociodemographic features, family satisfaction and social support for behavioral problems in children and young people. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 208 fourth grade primary school pupils (average age of 10.12) and 8th grade primary school pupils (14.14 years of age in average) using the following measuring instruments: Social support scales, Financial availability scales, Behavior self assessment scales for youth and Scales of family satisfaction. The results obtained by this research lead to the conclusion that externalized behavioral problems are more common among older children/young people who are also less satisfied with their family than younger children. There was no significant difference in internalized behavioral problems due to age. Gender differences have also not been recorded. When examining correlations with internalized behavioral problems, there is a significant correlation with family satisfaction, financial availability and social support. Hierarchical regression analysis shows that family satisfaction and social support alone explain 31% of the common variance of internalized behavioral problems in children and youth. Significant correlates of externalized behavioral problems are family satisfaction and social support, and in the final step, family satisfaction independently contributes to explaining 18% of the variance of externalized behavioral problems in children and young people.

During the two seasons of rescue archaeological excavations at the hillfort site of Brekinjova Kosa, the remains of an Early Medieval structure (probably a church) and Early Medieval burials containing rich grave goods were recorded. The most remarkable feature is a rich burial within the structure (grave 4) whose grave goods put it among the richest Early Medieval graves so far excavated on the territory of modern-day Croatia. Apart from the finds within the graves themselves, a certain amount of Early Medieval pottery shards were recorded at the site. The area surrounding the site is mostly archaeologically unresearched and today sparsely populated, but this type of find bears witness to its importance in the Early Middle Ages.
