This cross-sectional study invited participants to fill an online questionnaire on Google Forms, and the study was conducted from February to March 2021. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the demographic characteristics of participants. Differences in participants’ knowledge, attitudes, and preventative behavior were analyzed using t-test. Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationships between variables. Characteristics of participants that influenced preventative behavior toward TB were analyzed using linear multiple regression analysis.Results: This study included 524 students. The average knowledge scores out of a possible 11 points of health and non-health students were 7.03 ± 2.36 (out of 11) and 4.98 ± 2.20, respectively. The attitude was 45.40 ± 4.17 (out of 52), 43.75 ± 4.09 respectively, and their average scores out of 44 for preventative behaviors toward TB were 33.08 ± 4.49 and 33.16 ± 4.40, respectively. Female students and students from health faculties demonstrated greater knowledge and better attitudes. Students with a postgraduate academic degree had better knowledge and attitudes and engaged in more preventative behavior. Students who did not smoke had greater knowledge than those who did, and students who had received information about TB engaged in more preventative behavior.Conclusion: Faculty, knowledge of symptoms, preventative examinations, and attitudes toward preventative examinations, treatment, and preventative education, were found to affect TB prevention behavior. These variables should be emphasized in the development of university TB socialization and education programs. The internet and social media should be used in TB education for students.Keywords: students, tuberculosis, symptoms, preventative education

The aim of this bachelor thesis was to assess current readiness of a chosen South Bohemian school for solving extraordinary situations. Moreover, to find out the state of the processed documents and readiness of the pedagogical staff and pupils of this school for an extraordinary situation. Readiness of teachers and pupils was then examined by a simulated fire and evacuation of the school. Readiness of the fire fighting staff was also included in this tactical exercise. The following research question was set: "How is the chosen South Bohemian school ready for solving extraordinary situations?" For assessment purposes the tactical exercise, questionnaire survey, school documentation audit and material instruments of fire protection and safety arrangement check were done. In the end the evaluation was done and suggestions and arrangements for further improvement were set. In the theoretical part of this bachelor thesis there is a precept of law analysis concerning both the preparation for extraordinary situations and the field of educational institutions. The theoretical part also describes the area of this elementary school, determines particular extraordinary situations that could appear in relation to this institution and general evaluation of readiness of this school for such situations is done in this chapter.

This article discusses findings from a project funded by the European Commission's DAPHNE III programme that sought to enhance the provision of relationship education and domestic abuse prevention in European schools and other educational facilities: the REaDAPt (Relationship Education and Domestic Abuse Prevention tuition) project. It summarizes what is known about effective prevention from the research literature before explaining what the REaDAPt project revealed about changing attitudes, about implementing and evaluating domestic abuse prevention programmes in educational settings, and about being responsive to young people's perspectives in the delivery of interventions. The article concludes by highlighting the iterative nature of the research needed to help develop relationship education and domestic abuse prevention tuition on a Europe-wide scale. © The Author(s) 2013.
