Nevertheless, the assumption that ICT contributes to the feelings of loneliness and associated illnesses persists among some researchers and in everyday discourse. The paper explores the sociological understanding of sociality from the perspective of ICT use during the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovenia. The results of an online survey conducted in the autumn of 2020, with a random sample of 454 participants, indicated that despite the government-imposed restrictions on gatherings and physical interactions of individuals, social dynamics were maintained, albeit predominantly through ICT. Moreover, most respondents reported not experiencing greater loneliness during this period, probably owing to the preservation of their social contacts in cyberspace. It was also observed that the respondents engaged in different activities aimed at sustaining social interaction in cyberspace (i.e., telephone conversations, social media engagement, video calls), contributing to a reduced sense of isolation. The main objective of this paper is to reflect on contemporary social trends, positing that proximity in physical space is no longer a precondition for the emergence and maintenance of social dynamics between individuals.

On this basis, the paper highlights the significant ways in which industry 4.0 transforms requirements regarding essential competencies of contemporary European ICT sector`s workforce. Stemming from this the author argues that competencies of the workforce in the ICT sector are gradually shifting from strictly technical towards hybrid (i.e. combination of technical and soft). The latter is associated with the fact that industry 4.0 is not only based on technology and creativity of people applying technology, but in addition also on increasing intertwining of ICT sector with other socioeconomic sectors, which results in changes of competencies of its workforce. In order to verify the thesis, the case study of Slovenian ICT companies(interviews with representatives) was implemented.

Poleg tega, da tovrstno delovanje povzroča prehod od območne k omrežni organizaciji družbe, migrantom omogoča, da fizično oddaljene izvorne domovine emocionalno in družbeno nikoli ne zapustijo, kar se ne sklada z dosedanjim sociološkim portretom migranta. Na teh izhodiščih prispevek med drugim odpira vprašanje o ponovnem premisleku koncepta migranta, in sicer v pogojih omrežne družbe.

In Slovenia UAMs may hold varied types of status, and each of these implies different legal provisions and practical determination of the best interest of the child.

At the beginning authors presents the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of migrant women, a review of national legislation regulating the area of reproductive health (for migrant women), a review of scientific literature and research dealing with the issue and a presentation of existing best practices. Data on the number of migrant women in Slovenia show that their number is constantly increasing (a six-fold increase between 1995 and 2016) and it is expected that it will be even higher in the future while at the same time a comprehensive and systematic approach to reproductive health in relation to migrant women is missing. The literature review and best practices overview indicate that the first and the most urgent step towards improvement of the situation in this area would be to educate health providers interculturally in order that they can recognize reproductive health norms and practices within different cultural contexts. This would allow them to provide culturally safe medical care, health education, and health promotion, and finally increase access to reproductive health for migrant women.

Based on the relationship between ICT and sociality, we argue that physical proximity is no longer necessary to establish and maintain social dynamics in the modern social context. We find that most Slovenians supported the government's measures to restrict gatherings and movements, and for the majority of the population these measures have had no negative impact on sociability. Further, the qualitative data obtained via observational netnography on Facebook show that various social dynamics took place in cyberspace. They are related to helping people overcome the hardships associated with restricting socialising in physical space, activities targeting specific social groups, and trans- ferring pre-existing activities from physical space to cyberspace.

Moreover, most respondents reported not experiencing greater loneliness during this period,
probably owing to the preservation of their social contacts in cyberspace. It was also observed
that the respondents engaged in different activities aimed at sustaining social interaction in
cyberspace (i.e., telephone conversations, social media engagement, video calls), contributing
to a reduced sense of isolation. The main objective of this paper is to reflect on contemporary
social trends, positing that proximity in physical space is no longer a precondition for the
emergence and maintenance of social dynamics between individuals.
