Povzetek: Imposter phenomenon is widely felt in academia, yet its lived experience within marine science remains underexplored. To address this gap, in this commentary we draw on the collective reflections of a diverse group of interdisciplinary marine researchers who have (and continue to) experience imposter phenomenon. We examine how it emerges, how it affects our careers, and how we have learned to navigate it. Our experiences reveal a broad range of triggers, including toxic or exclusionary work cultures, disciplinary gatekeeping, comparison and performance pressure, gendered expectations, life transitions, and identity‐linked insecurities such as not fitting normative assumptions about what a “marine scientist” looks like. The impacts of imposter phenomenon were similarly varied: withdrawal from professional communities, reduced confidence, self‐limiting behaviours, avoidance of visibility, career instability, and emotional or physical strain. Building from this, we outline strategies that have helped us manage our imposter phenomenon over time. Supportive relationships (through mentorship, peer networks, and community) were central, as were professional therapy, leadership coaching, and building mental‐health literacy. Many of us found strength in reframing negative thoughts, setting boundaries, seeking inclusive environments, and building confidence through meaningful work and collaborations. Maintaining and prioritising physical well‐being, time in nature, and simple acts of kindness also played important roles in helping us overcome the challenges posed by imposter phenomenon. Importantly, several of us came to see that imposter phenomenon can carry a productive dimension. It can foster reflexivity, humility, and critical self‐awareness, qualities essential for thoughtful and ethical marine research. By sharing our own experiences, we hope to help build a marine science community where doubt is met with compassion and care, diverse forms of expertise and knowledge are valued, and all of us can do our best work without questioning our right to be here.

Povzetek: This study examines the impact of corporate restructuring on workers' mental health, focusing on depression and sick leave due to severe stress among three groups affected by the 2009 restructuring of Slovenia’s largest textile company. A telephone survey was conducted with 185 workers who retained their jobs (survivors), 416 who were reemployed elsewhere, and 381 who became unemployed. Statistical analysis, including chi-squared tests and logistic regression, revealed significant differences in depression and stress-related sick leave among the groups. The unemployed were found to be nearly 2.5 times more likely to experience depression than survivors and 1.6 times more likely than reemployed workers. Additionally, the workers that became and remained unemployed were 1.7 times more likely to take sick leave due to severe stress, while still working, compared to survivors and 1.6 times more likely than the reemployed. The findings highlight the severe negative effects of company restructuring on workers' mental health, particularly for those who lost their jobs. The study also shows that reemployed workers experience significantly poorer mental health compared to those who remain with the company, underscoring the long-lasting psychological impact of job loss during corporate restructuring.

Povzetek: The relevance of this research is determined by the fact that unsuccessful adaptation can lead to social isolation, unemployment, and other negative consequences, affecting the stability of society. This study aims to analyse the key factors and mechanisms that ensure successful sociocultural, economic, and psychological reintegration in the context of repatriates’ adaptation processes. The total number of respondents was 273 Kazakh repatriates. The sociocultural adaptation of Kazakh repatriates in Kazakhstan shows several key trends. Mastery of the language of the historical homeland (Kazakh) ranges from medium to high. Attitudes towards traditions are diverse, with more than a third of respondents highlighting the positive influence of traditions on social interaction. While half of the repatriates actively participate in cultural and social activities, challenges arise in balancing traditional values with modern societal norms. As regards economic adaptation, most repatriates successfully secure employment within a short period and develop stable labour relations. The study emphasises the need for targeted support programmes, such as language courses, cultural orientation activities, and psychological counselling, to address the multifaceted challenges of adaptation.

Povzetek: Introduction: Online counselling represents a new medium for finding health information. The aim of the research is to determine the importance of analysis of adolescents' issues in order to understand their problems, needs and desires. Methods: In 2012 the system for the classification of questions by the type of problem was introduced. In relation to the contents the questions were first sorted to the parent category then followed by the categorization according to the subject matter. The calculation comprised the portions, averages and quartiles, and in some cases even Cramer's V coefficients. The analysis covered the entire defined population (3,257 coded questions). Results: Most of the users are girls (76 %), the most representative group encompasses adolescents aged between 14 and 17 years (57 %). Most questions were grouped into the categories Sexuality and sexual health (24 %), Relationships (23 %) and Body (20 %). The length of posts increases with the age of the user (Cr's V = 0.18), but differs by the gender (a higher proportion of longer questions (Cr's V = 0.15) were posted by girls) and the themes (Cr's V = 0.31). Discussion and conclusion: The categorizing of questions is suitable for the identification and analysis of adolescents' problems, needs and desires. Regular categorisation of questions with analysis will serve as a useful research tool for youth work.
