Njemački učenici ponovno šokirali lošim rezultatima na PISA testiranju. A novo istraživanje pokazuje još nešto: petnaestogodišnjaci sve češće čitaju brzo, ali - netočno. Imaju li TikTok, Instagram Reels i YouTube Shorts veze s tim? I zašto onda učenici u Japanu, Koreji i Estoniji postižu puno bolje rezultate? O tome u ovom izdanju podcasta govore Maja Marić i Filip Slavković. Von Maja Maric.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we dive into the biggest cannabis stories from around the world, with two very different UK cannabis factory stories, a look at the future of medical cannabis research, concerns over a proposed US hemp ban, and some promising research into medical cannabis and endometriosis. Macky starts things off with a rather unusual discovery in Slough, where Thames Valley Police uncovered a huge cannabis growing operation inside an abandoned former BHS store. Around 1,700 plants were found, with the crop estimated to have a potential yield of around 150kg and a street value of approximately £1.3 million. Two men involved in the operation have been jailed. Smee brings us another UK cannabis factory story, this time involving the director of an estate agency who used rental properties to set up cannabis grows. Several properties were used as part of the operation before police eventually caught up with him, resulting in a prison sentence. Billy looks towards the future of medical cannabis as Professor David Nutt prepares to explore the future of medical cannabis research at a symposium in London. We discuss where the science is heading and what questions researchers still need to answer as medical cannabis continues to gain attention. John takes us across the Atlantic for a look at the potential impact of the proposed US hemp ban. A new report suggests that as much as 68% of the US hemp industry could be affected, raising serious questions about what the legislation could mean for businesses, consumers and the wider hemp market. Finally, Margaret brings us some more encouraging medical cannabis research, with a study linking medical cannabis use to sustained improvements in endometriosis symptoms. We take a look at what the research found and what it could mean for people living with endometriosis. So we've got abandoned department stores, estate agents running grow houses, the future of medical cannabis research, a potentially huge shake-up of the US hemp industry and some promising medical research. Another busy week in the world of cannabis!

Srbijanski predsjednik Aleksandar Vučić raspisao je prijevremene parlamentarne izbore za 25.10. Prema najavama promatrača to bi mogli biti najuzbudljiviji izbori posljednjih desetljeća. Održavaju se u atmosferi društvene podjele i pitanja mogu li studenti sa svojim pokretom smijeniti SNS s vlasti nakon 13 godina. Nenad Kreizer razgovara s analitičarem Zoranom Gavrilovićem iz think-tanka BIRODI i reporterom Aleksandrom Timofejevim. Von Nenad Kreizer.

Novi ekološki skandal potresa Hrvatsku. Otkriće tisuća tona ilegalno odloženog otpada u Lici pored Gospića izazvao je bijes građana koji su se proteklog vikenda u velikom broju okupili na glavnom zagrebačkom trgu kako bi izrazili svoju ogorčenost korupcijom i nebrigom za okoliš. Nenad Kreizer razgovara s toksikologom Branimirom Hackenbergerom i reporterom Sinišom Bogdanićem o najnovijem razvoju događaja u skandalu oko ilegalnog otpada kraj Gospića. Von Nenad Kreizer.

Prema svim očekivanjima AfD je odnijela uvjerljivu pobjedu na izborima u Saskoj-Anhaltu. Iako stranci nedostaje nekoliko glasova do apsolutne većine i pitanje je kako će se ovaj povijesni rezultat pretočiti u političku svakodnevicu, već sad je sigurno da će ova pobjeda ostaviti dubokog traga na njemačku političku budućnost. Nenad Kreizer i Filip Slavković razgovaraju o rezultatima izbora, mogućim koalicijama, utjecaju na politiku u Berlinu i donose reakcije iz inozemstva. Von Nenad Kreizer.

Jedan grad, dva filmska festivala - i oba tvrde da nastavljaju tradiciju čuvenih niških Filmskih susreta. Nakon prošlogodišnjeg sukoba glumaca i gradskih vlasti, ove godine u Nišu su, gotovo istovremeno, održana dva festivala, s različitim organizatorima, nagradama i publikom. Jelena Đukić-Pejić objašnjava kako je politika podijelila jedan od najstarijih filmskih festivala u Srbiji. Maja Marić razgovara s Majom Šušom, glumicom i scenaristicom, o tome kako je sve to izgledalo proteklih dana. Von Maric. Maja.

Slike prirodnih katastrofa u pravilu prate i slike zabrinutih političara koji svojim prisustvom na licu mjesta pokušavaju dokazati svoju bliskost građanima i prije svega biračima. U pravilu to ne završi dobro ali ima slučajeva u kojima su političari od ovakvih akcija ipak profitirali. Nenad Kreizer i Filip Slavković, koji javlja iz Kraljeva, na najnovijem primjeru iz Srbije analiziraju spregu prirodnih katastrofa i političkog marketinga i osvrću se na neke najpoznatije povijesne primjere. Von Nenad Kreizer.

Ganz nach dem Motto „Free the Titties“ scheinen immer mehr Frauen oben ohne bzw. ohne was unter dem T-Shirt auf die Straße zu gehen. Aber lassen auch Josi und Denni ihren Brüsten freien Lauf? Das wollte ein Hörer von den beiden Schwestern wissen – die das direkt zum Anlass genommen haben, um ein bißchen über ihren eigenen „Busen-Werdegang“ und eingeschnürte Brüste auf Plakatwerbung zu philosophieren. Was das mit Chamäleon-Nippeln und BHs mit integrierten steifen Brustwarzen zu tun hat?

Kao i svakog avgusta Niš je u znaku džeza. U toku je festival Nišville koji traje do nedelje, 16. avgusta. Kako izgleda ovogodišnji program, kome će biti uručena nagrada za životno delo, koliko je aktuelna politička situacija uticala na prodaju karata i zašto je za organizaciju ovog festivala potrebna i doza mazohizma, o svemu tome Boris Rabrenović razgovora sa direktorom Nišville-a Ivanom Blagojevićem.

Mnogi roditelji ali i nastavnici su zabrinuti. Da li je opravdan taj strah od mladih „zombija“ koji samo bulje u mobilne telefone koji ih zaglupljuju? Treba li ih zato zabraniti u školama? Mladi navodno više nisu u stanju da zadrže pažnju na nešto što je duže od prosečnog Tik-Tok videa. Za to se najviše okrivljuje mobilni telefon. Nove studije pak pokazuju nešto drugačiju sliku. O tome koji su rizici, opasnosti ali i prednosti mobilnog telefona, u ovom podkastu govore Saša Bojić i Maja Marić. Von Sasa Bojic.

U pravilu se politički Berlin smiri tijekom ljetnih mjeseci. No ova godina je iznimka. Usred ljetne pauze kancelar Friedrich Merz je donio nekoliko važnih kadrovskih promjena, ne samo u političkom vrhu, što je izazvalo djelomičnu pobunu unutar vlastite demokršćanske stranke. Tu su još i napeti izbori za mjesec dana na kojima bi AfD mogao definitivno promijeniti politički krajobraz zemlje. Nenad Kreizer i reporter Filip Slavković razgovaraju o burnom političkom ljetu u Berlinu. Von Nenad Kreizer.

Devedesete su za cijelu Europu predstavljale prijelomno desetljeće u kojima se promijenio tok povijesti. Za građane bivše Jugoslavije ovo desetljeće je donijelo mnogo patnje, ratova i tragičnih sudbina. Nenad Kreizer razgovara s povjesničarkom Dubravkom Stojanović i reporterom Aleksandrom Timofejevim o izložbi "Devedesete, lično" koja je otvorena u Muzeju 90-tih u Beogradu i koja kroz osobna svjedočanstva poznatih osoba govori o ovom burnom razdoblju povijesti.

U Njemačkoj se nedavno razvila rasprava oko jednog portala koji mladima omogućava da saznaju jesu li im djed, baka ili drugi rođaci bili upleteni u nacistički režim. Diskusija je otvorila mnoga nova pitanja. Društva nastala raspadom Jugoslavije se također suočavaju s bolnim pitanjima iz prošlosti. Nenad Kreizer razgovara s povjesničarem Hrvojem Klasićem o odnosu naroda bivše Jugoslavije prema prošlosti, a reporter Filip Slavković predstavlja njemački projekt zavirivanja u obiteljsku prošlost.

Vlada Friedricha Merza je predstavila sveobuhvatan paket mjera koji bi zemlju trebao gospodarski izvući iz stagnacije i pripremiti na izazove koje sa sobom donosi budućnost. No ni te mjere građani nisu dočekali s oduševljenjem. Nenad Kreizer i Saša Bojić u ovom izdanju podcasta Cosmo BHS govore o paketu reformi o kojem bi se trebalo odlučivati na jesen i političkoj situaciji u Njemačkoj uoči važnih pokrajinskih izbora.

Tržište lijekova koji su prvobitno bili namijenjeni liječenju dijabetesa 2, ali su u međuvremenu izazvali revoluciju u sektoru preparata za mršavljenje, se i dalje širi. Nakon nekoliko već poznatih medikamenata u obliku injekcija, od kojih je najpoznatiji Ozempic, sada na tržište dolaze i lijekovi koji se uzimaju oralnim putem.

Crna Gora ove godine izlazi na tržište ojačanim statistikama koje pokazuju da je za njemačkog potrošača ova zemlja daleko povoljnije turističko odredište nego susjedna Hrvatska. No Crna Gora ne želi privući turiste samo na plažu nego i u planine.

Mnogi susreti se zbog vremenske razlike održavaju u terminima koji nisu povoljni za gledatelje u Europi. Kako fanovi u Njemačkoj namjeravaju gledati utakmice? Public viewing iza ponoći? Kakva su očekivanja navijača u Hrvatskoj? O svemu tome Nenad Kreizer razgovara s Majom Marić i Davorom Korićem. Von Nenad Kreizer.

Česká vláda si podle hlavního ekonoma BHS Štěpána Křečka vytváří prostor pro vyšší rozpočtové schodky, přesto však současnou situaci nepovažuje v mezinárodním srovnání za dramatickou: „Když se podívám takřka po celém vyspělém světě, tak rozpočtová odpovědnost není téma číslo jedna. Spojené státy i Čína mají deficity kolem šesti procent HDP,“ uvedl Křeček. Připomněl, že český deficit se po covidu snížil z pěti procent HDP na loňských 2,1 procenta, letos však podle odhadů opět poroste.Podle Křečka současná vláda sice kritizovala vysoké schodky předchozího kabinetu, nyní si však „uvolňuje cestu k tomu, aby ty vyšší schodky mohla mít“. Přesto doufá, že kabinet nebude nově vytvořený prostor celý využívat. „Doufejme, že kromě těch investic budou předkládány i nějaké úspory,“ řekl. Ekonom zároveň podpořil výjimky z rozpočtových pravidel pro investice do dopravy, energetiky či obrany. „To, že peníze potečou tímto směrem, je dobře,“ uvedl. Za klíčové však označil efektivní využití prostředků a podporu českého průmyslu.A mluvilo se i o výdajích na obranu a závazcích vůči NATO. Křeček zdůraznil, že Česko by mělo plnit alespoň současný závazek dvou procent HDP: „Neměli bychom hazardovat s tím, že v případě geopolitického ohrožení nám nebude pomoženo tak, jak bychom si představovali,“ řekl. Ale debatu o budoucím cíli 3,5 procenta HDP na obranu označil za předčasnou. „To je hudba daleké budoucnosti. Do té doby se spousta věcí pravděpodobně změní,“ míní ekonom.Křeček kritizoval také vládní zásahy do cen pohonných hmot. Přestože snížení daní podporuje, regulaci marží považuje za problematickou. „Vzniká tím precedent. Jestli se příště vytvoří politická poptávka po regulaci cen másla nebo vajec, tak se to také udělá,“ varoval.Podle ekonoma zůstává česká ekonomika navzdory geopolitickým rizikům relativně odolná. Hlavním motorem růstu je podle něj růst reálných mezd a spotřeby domácností. „Růst mezi dvěma a dvěma a půl procenty prostě bude probíhat,“ dodal.

After months of initial planning, the Brattleboro Historical Society Board of Trustees is thrilled to announce our latest project – bringing this town's history out of storage and into the land of the light, with a museum. As you may know, BHS has developed exhibits and displays in numerous locations over the years and even in Montpelier at the Vermont Historical Society. This new project continues that tradition – but all in one place – Brattleboro's own Municipal Center hallways!

This week we're joined by Levanah Gates, The Buyer's Coach -a former buying manager at M&S, Tesco, BHS, Fat Face, and George (Asda)- who now coaches buyers and retail professionals to build confidence, gain clarity, and navigate the fast-paced world of buying.Levanah started her career in 2009, studying illustration before falling in love with retail through part-time work at Jigsaw. She worked her way up through some of the biggest names in the industry, spending six years at George as a buying manager across knitwear, swim, footwear, and accessories. After having her daughter in 2019 and returning from maternity leave into a post-pandemic world, she made the decision to leave and retrain as a coach. She launched The Buyer's Coach in January 2024 and has since worked with over 200 retail professionals - buyers, merchandisers, designers, sourcing, and tech - supporting them through career moves, promotions, and the day-to-day pressures of the industry.In this episode, we get into why networking feels so loaded in fashion retail, why the culture of "busy as a badge of honour" makes it even harder to prioritise, and how to actually approach it in a way that feels natural rather than cringey or corporate. We also talk about the generational gap emerging in buying teams, the loss of human connection through over-reliance on email and messaging, the fear around the word "networking" itself (and why we think it needs a rebrand), and why building relationships outside your own four walls is one of the most powerful -and underused - career tools available to buyers right now.We also reflect on our own events and what makes them work: no formal agenda, no name stickers, no performance. Just buyers in a room, sharing experiences, laughing, and realising they're not going through it alone.3 Key Takeaways:Networking doesn't have to mean a formal event- the best place to start is reconnecting with someone you already know. Scroll back through your phone, find a supplier, ex-colleague, or old manager, and simply say hello. You don't need to start from scratch.Connection is career currency - the majority of job opportunities are invisible and driven by relationships built long before you need them. Investing in your network isn't a distraction from the job; it's one of the most strategic things you can do for your long-term career.Buyers massively underestimate how transferable their skills are - if you're feeling stuck or like your role is too niche, the reality is the opposite. The core skills of buying translate across categories, industries, and company sizes. You have far more options than you think.Join us at our Manchester Meetup on 20th May at the Corn Exchange - Levanah will be speaking live!

Han Kang: Die VegetarierinLiebe Leserinnen und Leser,in meiner letzten Rezension “Heaven” von Mieko Kawakami hatte ich formuliert: Das heute hier vorgestellte Werk ist zwar zunächst leicht und ruhig, dann aber grausamer als vieles, was ich in den letzten Jahren gelesen habe.Anstatt das in zunehmendem Alter die Ausschläge immer weiter abnehmen, die Highs nicht mehr so hoch sind, die Tiefen nicht mehr so verschlingend - wenn man sich ab und zu die Zeit zum Innehalten und Nachdenken nähme, würde man doch drauf kommen, dass die generellen Erzählungen, die uns Richtlinie, Beispiel und Vorbild sein sollen einfach nicht stimmen: Ideologien der Kindheit, Anforderungen der Gesellschaft, die zurichtet bis alles passt, der verächtliche Blick aufs Alter, in dem außer Krankheiten nichts mehr passiert: geschenkt.Und so ist die Einführung der letzten Rezension schon wieder angesagt, denn die heute vorgestellte Novelle ist - surprise - grausamer als vieles, was ich in den letzten Jahren gelesen habe. Das ist eigentlich schon mehr Spoiler, als dieses Werk verdient: Lest es, seid überrascht, und lest dann gerne hier weiter.Na gut, das haben vermutlich nicht alle Leser*innen geschafft. Es ist aber wirklich anempfohlen, den schmalen Band, eher eine Novelle denn ein Roman zu lesen, ohne vorher etwas darüber zu wissen. Auch wenn dann wieder jemand sagt, ich würde mir einen schmalen Fuß machen. Also, wir sind hier bei Lob und Verriss, “Die Vegetarierin” von Han Kang fällt eindeutig in die 1. Kategorie, auch wenn die ausgelösten Gefühle, die Wucht der Beschreibungen, die beschriebene psychische und physische Gewalt nicht so positiv sind, starke negativ konnotierte Gefühle hervorrufen.Wir gehen rein: eine Frau, Yeong-hye, entschließt sich eines Tages, kein Fleisch mehr zu essen. Auslöser dafür sind grausame Albträume voller Gewalt, Kadaver und Blut.Nun hat man vielleicht vergessen, dass es vor 20 Jahren hierzulande das Nicht-Fleisch-Essen in gewissen Landstrichen und einigen heute noch ein gesellschaftlicher Affront war und ist. Die Gründe sind vielfältig, aber eigentlich wissen auch alle, unter welch grausamen Bedingungen Fleisch hergestellt wird und lassen einen Fleischkonsum guten Gewissens eigentlich schlicht nicht zu. Eine doch hohe Ignoranz ist dafür also unabdingbar. Inwieweit die Novelle durch die Gesellschaft ihres Herkunftslandes Südkorea geprägt ist, wird in der Studio B-Diskussion besprochen werden.“Die Vegetarierin” ist in einer Sprache erzählt, die knapp, kühl und präzise beschreibt, welche Grausamkeiten Patriarchat, eine rigide Gesellschaft anrichten.Im Verlauf lesen wir über verschiedene Sichtweisen auf die Ausgangslage: Eine Frau hört auf, Fleisch zu essen und alle drehen durch. Ihre Entscheidung stürzt ihr konkretes Umfeld, also ihren Ehemann und ihre Ursprungsfamilie, hier: die Eltern, Bruder und Schwester in große Konflikte und hat so weitreichende Konsequenzen, dass man sich den Kopf (und später das Herz) halten muss. Dabei führt die erste Entscheidung (kein Fleisch mehr zu essen) zu weiteren - sie entledigt sich zunächst ihres BHs, später auch ihrer anderen Kleidungsstücke und stellt radikal das Mensch-Sein in Frage.Empathie, Zugewandtheit, Akzeptanz, Respekt gar: im Roman eine große Leerstelle. Die ersten Beschreibungen der neuen Situation liefert der Ehemann von Yeong-hye, der ihre Durchschnittlichkeit preist, ihren Mangel an hervorstechenden Eigenschaften. Er betrachtet sie als verfügbar und seinen Besitz. Ihre Familie empfindet den unbedingten Fleischverzicht ebenfalls als Kontrollverlust und versucht mit allen Mitteln (ja wirklich), sie zum Fleischessen zu zwingen. “Die Vegetarierin” beschreibt den weitreichenden Verfall dieser Familie als geradezu zwangsläufig, der immer höhere Wellen schlägt und den Einflusskreis nach außen vergrößert. Dabei scheint der größte Konflikt die riesige Diskrepanz zwischen inneren Verwerfungen, Begierden, Sehnsucht und der äußeren Gleichgültigkeit, Stille, Abstand, der geradezu eskalieren muss. Der Abstand zwischen den eigenen Wünschen und den Konventionen belastet Yeong-hye zwar mit den weitreichendsten Folgen, zeigt sich aber auch in anderen Figuren, wie dem Schwager. Für den sind die handelnden Frauen aber auch nur Objekte, Verständnis hat er nur für seine eigene - zunehmend prekäre - Situation.Die Abwesenheit von Empathie ist eines der vorherrschenden Motive und nur ihre Schwester zeigt sie, hier sind aber auch Schuldgefühle stark, denn sie ist diejenige, die Yeong-hye in eine Klinik einweisen lässt. Größerer Zwang durch Familie, Gesellschaft und Institutionen führt aber - so das Kalkül und in der Vergangenheit wohl auch öfter zumindest dem äußeren Schein nach erfolgreich - nicht zur Wiedereingliederung der Protagonistin, sondern zu einer immer größer werdenden Entfernung von gesellschaftlichen Konventionen. Der Tod als ultimativer Bruch mit der Gesellschaft - von Yeong-hye als Umwandlung in einen Baum (und damit des Sterbens als Mensch) angestrebt: Ist er erstrebenswert? Nachvollziehbar? Die Leser*in wird mit vielen Fragen und viel Gewalt konfrontiert.Die Protagonist*innen in “Die Vegetarierin” verweigern dabei jede Identifikation des Lesenden mit einer der Personen.Der Abstand ist so groß, dass immer wieder die Frage neu gestellt wird: ist es besser zu sterben als so zu leben? Muss man Menschen zwingen zu leben? Ist dies eine nachvollziehbare Reaktion auf die Gewalt und Zwänge? Vieles ist schockierend, dann aber auch eigentlich gar nicht, ein Blick in die Welt und die aktuellen Debatten reicht.“Die Vegetarierin” von Han Kang erschien 2007 - also vor knapp 20 Jahren - in Südkorea. 2016 gewann sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Übersetzerin Deborah Smith den renommierten Man Booker International Prize. Dies half natürlich mit der Verbreitung des Werks, entfachte aber auch eine Debatte, inwieweit die englische Übersetzung korrekt oder treffend sei, war es doch eine der ersten Übersetzungen von Deborah Smith, die erst wenige Jahre zuvor mit dem Studium der koreanischen Sprache begonnen hatte. Dass ihr Han Kang beim gesamten Übersetzungsprozess zur Seite gestanden hatte, geriet während dieser Aufregung schnell in den Hintergrund.Die deutsche Fassung “Die Vegetarierin” wurde aus dem Koreanischen von Ki-Hyang Lee geschaffen, also nicht über den Umweg des Englischen, wie öfter bei asiatischen Werken und stammt aus dem Jahre 2016. Vor 2 Jahren wurde Han Kang dann als erster koreanischer Schriftstellerin der Nobelpreis für Literatur zugesprochen.Ein hartes Werk, trotzdem eine Empfehlung, vielleicht ist jetzt der Frühling mit seinem hellen Licht eine gute Zeit für diese Lektüre.

In this episode, host Emma Sellers, MS, sits down with Afsoon Moktar, PhD, MSc, EMBA, BSN, BHS, CT (ASCP), professor in the Physician Assistant Program at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and Minh Tran, MPAS, PA-C, an emergency medicine PA at Newton-Wellesley, to explore their experiences in the Future Educator Fellowship. Dr. Moktar reflects on mentoring the next generation of clinician educators and explains how the fellowship's structure, support, and sense of community make an academic career feel both accessible and sustainable. Tran shares how the program broadened her understanding of PA education beyond the classroom, introducing her to curriculum design, assessment, accreditation, leadership, and intentional mentorship. She also discusses the shift from being clinically proficient to learning how to teach with clarity and purpose. Together, they examine the intensity of PA training, the many responsibilities faculty members carry, and the evolving landscape of recruiting and supporting educators. They offer practical advice for aspiring faculty: begin teaching before you feel fully ready, seek strong mentors, build community to prevent burnout, and remain curious as you grow.
