Correlates of Body Dysmorphic Disorder Symptoms Severity
No full textOvo istraživanje imalo je za cilj ispitati ulogu određenih bioloških (spol), psiholoških (samopoštovanje, religioznost i bavljenje sportom) te socijalnih (država, individualizam i kolektivizam, socijalna podrška i korištenje društvenih mreža) varijabli u izraženosti simptoma tjelesnog dismorfnog poremećaja [TDP]. Analizirana je razlika u javljanju sumnje na TDP s obzirom na spol i državu prebivališta ispitanika. Rezultati su pokazali da nema značajne razlike u pojavi sumnje na TDP između ispitanika iz Hrvatske, Slovenije i Crne Gore, dok su žene češće ispunjavale kriterije sumnje na TDP od muškaraca. Nadalje, ispitana je povezanost korelata psihološke i socijalne sastavnice s izraženosti simptoma TDP-a. U okviru psiholoških varijabli utvrđeno je da samopoštovanje ima negativnu povezanost sa simptomima, dok su nedostatak motivacije i introjekcija u motivaciji za bavljenje sportom pozitivno povezane sa simptomima TDP-a. S druge strane, religioznost, redovni odlasci u teretanu, eksternalna regulacija i autonomne vrste motivacije za sport (identifikacija, integracija i intrinzična motivacija) nisu pokazali povezanost sa simptomima. U sklopu socijalne sastavnice, horizontalni individualizam i socijalna podrška negativno su povezani sa simptomima, dok su vertikalni individualizam i svi aspekti korištenja društvenih mreža (vrijeme provedeno na mrežama, korištenje vizualnih društvenih mreža i integriranost korištenja mreža) pozitivno povezani, a kolektivizam nije povezan s izraženosti simptoma TDP-a. U budućim istraživanjima potrebno je dublje ispitivanje mehanizama ovih povezanosti te razvoj preventivnih programa i edukacije populacije o TDP-u.This study aimed to examine the role of certain biological (gender), psychological (selfesteem, religiosity, sports participation), and social (country of residence, individualism and collectivism, social support, and social media use) variables in the expression of symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The analysis focused on differences in the prevalence of suspected BDD based on participants' gender and country of residence. The results showed no significant differences in the prevalence of suspected BDD among participants from Croatia, Slovenia, and Montenegro. However, women were more likely than men to meet the criteria for suspected BDD. Furthermore, this study explored the relationship between psychological and social correlates and the severity of BDD symptoms. Among psychological variables, it was found that self-esteem was negatively associated, while amotivation and introjection in sport motivation were positively associated with symptoms. On the other hand, religiosity, regular gym attendance, external regulation and autonomous types of sports motivation (identification, integration, and intrinsic motivation) showed no association with BDD symptoms. The findings including social factors indicated that horizontal individualism and social support were negatively associated with symptoms, whereas vertical individualism and all aspects of social media use (time spent on social media, use of visual social media, and integration of social media use) were positively associated, while collectivism was not associated with the severity of BDD symptoms. Future research should further investigate the mechanisms underlying these associations and focus on developing preventive programs and educating the population about BDD
Representation of Marriage in 16th Century Dubrovnik's Drama
No full textInstituciji braka kao predmetu istraživanja u ovom smo radu pristupili putem analize reprezentacije braka u književnosti. Polazeći od korpusa koji čini šest dubrovačkih drama iz 16. stoljeća, od kojih tri komedije Marina Držića: Arkulin, Tripče de Utolče i Dundo Maroje, i tri farse Nikole Nalješkovića: Komedija V, Komedija VI. i Komedija VII, detektirali smo i analizirali dominantne predodžbe braka i pritom nastojali ispitati u kojoj mjeri i na koji način one korespondiraju s društvenim normama i očekivanjima u pogledu braka u 16. st. Pritom smo se vodili elaboracijom koju je oblikovao Allan H. Pasco, prema kojoj fikcionalni ostvaraji u određenoj mjeri govore o društvu i ljudima samima, te stoga mogu pružiti uvide u prevladavajuća mišljenja, stavove i svakodnevicu određenoga vremena. Budući da su se izvodila u doba poklada, analizirana dramska djela pripadaju, prema Bahtinovoj koncepciji, smjehovnoj književnosti za koju je karakteristično da se na humorističan način suprotstavlja normama svakodnevnoga života i službene kulture, odražavajući tako pokladni „izokrenuti svijet“. Stoga i reprezentacije braka koje smo detektirali u tekstovima uvelike odudaraju od društvenih normi i idealističke koncepcije braka oblikovane normativnim diskursima u 16. stoljeću te ih na različite načine propituju i kritiziraju smijehom i parodijom. U danim tekstovima ukazali smo na obrat, naličje, tj. na drugu stranu idealističke koncepcije braka u pogledu normativnih rodnih uloga i uz njih vezanih uloga supružnika, odnosa moći – dominacije i podređenosti – između supružnika, prikladnosti bračnih partnera i njihove dobi, bračnih normi poput vjernosti, legitimne i nelegitimne seksualnosti i potomstva, praksi poput udvaranja, zaruka, dogovaranja miraza i vjenčanja, ženidbene politike itd. No bez obzira na to što su službeni i svakodnevni aspekti braka u navedenim dramama podvrgnuti komičkim obratima, brak se u njima naposlijetku ipak uspijeva sklopiti ili održati čime se nadaje kao nesalomljiva i neosporna institucija, što odražava društvenu predodžbu o braku, ali i mjesto koje je brak zauzimao u patrijarhalnoj kulturi 16. stoljeća.In this paper, we approached the institution of marriage as a subject of research through an analysis of its representation in literature. Starting from a corpus consisting of six Dubrovnik plays from the 16th century – three comedies by Marin Držić (Arkulin, Tripče de Utolče, and Dundo Maroje) and three farces by Nikola Nalješković (Komedija V, Komedija VI, and Komedija VII) – we identified and analyzed the dominant notions of marriage. We aimed to examine the extent to which and the ways in which these notions corresponded to the social norms and expectations regarding marriage in the 16th century. Our approach was guided by the elaboration developed by Allan H. Pasco, which asserts that fictional works, to some extent, speak about society and people themselves, and can therefore provide insights into the prevailing opinions, attitudes, and everyday life of a given time. Since the analyzed plays were performed during the Carnival season, they belong, according to Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept, to the genre of laughter-based literature, characterized by humorously opposing the norms of everyday life and official culture, thereby reflecting the Carnival’s "world turned upside down." Consequently, the representations of marriage we identified in these texts often deviate significantly from societal norms and the idealized conception of marriage shaped by normative discourses of the 16th century, questioning and criticizing them through laughter and parody. In the given texts, we highlighted reversals, the flipside, or the alternative to the idealized conception of marriage, particularly in terms of normative gender roles and the roles of spouses associated with them, power relations – dominance and subordination – between spouses, the suitability of marriage partners and their age, marital norms such as fidelity, legitimate and illegitimate sexuality, and offspring, as well as practices such as courtship, engagements, dowry negotiations, weddings, marriage policies, and more. However, despite the fact that the official and everyday aspects of marriage in these dramas are subjected to comedic subversions, marriage ultimately manages to be established or maintained in these works. This reveals marriage as an unbreakable and indisputable institution, reflecting both the societal perception of marriage and the position it held in the patriarchal culture of the 16th century

The reading club "Transformation" of the Pula City library and reading room– an example of good practice in the inclusion of people with psychosocial difficulties
No full textSuvremene narodne knjižnice sve više preuzimaju obrazovnu i društvenu ulogu, no inkluzija osoba sa psihosocijalnim poteškoćama u njima dosad nije sustavno proučavana. Ovaj rad analizira doprinos čitateljskog kluba „Preobražaj“ iz Pule, koji kroz književnost i kreativne radionice pruža podršku marginaliziranim i stigmatiziranim osobama. Rad istražuje kako knjižnice mogu potaknuti razvoj čitalačkih navika, međuljudske odnose i aktivno sudjelovanje osoba iz marginaliziranih skupina. Teorijski dio obuhvaća povijesti ulogu čitateljskih klubova te važnost knjižnica kao prostora inkluzije. Praktični dio temelji se na studiji slučaja kluba „Preobražaj“, koji kroz biblioterapiju stvara prostor za dijalog i ja ča osjećaj pripadnosti te kognitivne i socijalne vještine. Rad potvrđuje da čitateljski klubovi mogu imati ključnu ulogu u inkluziji zajednice te predstavlja „Preobražaj“ kao model dobre prakse za slične programe u narodnim knjižnicama diljem Hrvatske.Modern public libraries are increasingly taking on an educational and social role, but the inclusion of people with psychosocial disabilities has so far not been systematically studied. This paper analyses the contribution of the reading Club “transformation” from Pula, which provides support to marginalised and stigmatized persons through literature and creative workshops.
The paper explores how libraries can encourage the development of reading habits, interpersonal relations and active participation of people from marginalised groups. The theoretical part includes the history and role of reading clubs and the importance of libraries as an area of inclusion. The practical part is based on the case study of the “transformation” club, which through bibliotherapy creates room for dialogue and strengthens the sense of belonging and cognitive and social skills.
The paper confirms that reading clubs can play a key role in the inclusion of the community and represents a “transformation” as a model of good practice for similar programs in public libraries throughout Croatia

Principles of local history materials organization in online environment
No full textZavičajna građa, tradicionalno dio zbirki informacijskih ustanova, suočava se s promjenama u načinu organizacije u mrežnome okruženju, dok te promjene ne prate sustavno teorijsku razinu. Disertacija nastoji popuniti ovu prazninu zasnivanjem istraživanja kvalitativnoga nacrta i prema metodologiji utemeljene teorije, pri čemu su prepoznata četiri istraživačka problema i planirana cilja, a na temelju provedenoga istraživanja, izvedeni su i pripadajući rezultati: (1) Nedostatak sustavnoga opisa i znanstveno jasno oblikovanih načela organizacije zavičajne građe u mrežnome okruženju doveo je do razvoja teorijskoga elaborata koji razrađuje načela i koncepte organizacije ove građe. (2) Dosadašnji pristup u teoriji organizacije zavičajne građe ograničava se na zavičajne zbirke u informacijskim ustanovama, zanemarujući one koje stvaraju građani i druge ustanove, a kao rezultat navedenoga nastojanja stvoren je teorijski elaborat koji se sastoji od načela organizacije mrežne zavičajne građe i koji je stvaran po principu teorijskoga uzorkovanja, pa su tako u istraživački uzorak uključena mrežna mjesta informacijskih ustanova, ali i ona koja nastaju radom zainteresiranih građana ili drugih vrsta ustanova neovisnih o informacijskome i baštinskome sektoru. (3) Zbog nepostojanja jasno definiranih načela, upitni su kriteriji vidljivosti i održivosti zavičajne građe u cjelokupnosti umreženoga svijeta, a kao rezultat ispostavljen je teorijski elaborat koji se sastoji od 13 koncepata, 13 načela i 4 tvorbena koncepta. (4) Testiranjem metodologije utemeljene teorije u polju informacijskih znanosti, dokazano je da se ona može uspješno primijeniti u istraživanju informacijskih sustava na temelju uspješno izvedenoga istraživačkog rezultata, tzv. utemeljene teorije, odnosno teorijskoga konceptualnog modela i teorijskih načela organizacije zavičajne građe u mrežnome okruženju. Ključni doprinosi istraživanja nalaze se upravo u otkrivanju složenosti interakcije među glavnim konceptima organizacije mrežne zavičajne građe. Rezultati istraživanja otvaraju novu perspektivu na područje organizacije mrežne zavičajne građe, na samu mrežnu zavičajnu građu, kao i na zavičajni mrežni sadržaj kao takav, odnosno, u širemu smislu na fenomen zavičajnosti u mrežnome okruženju. Rezultati sugeriraju da ovo područje nije potpuno istraženo ako se fokusira isključivo na mrežna mjesta informacijskih i baštinskih ustanova, što otvara prostor za daljnje teorijsko istraživanje složenih odnosa između pojedinih identificiranih koncepata, kategorija i načela, kroz istraživanje dviju identificiranih skupina istraživačkoga uzorka.The field of information sciences represents an interdisciplinary and complex segment within the social sciences, and ideally, it involves dynamic research and up-to-date descriptions of phenomena, concepts, and ultimately, corresponding theories. In reality, however, it is common for established theories to quickly lose relevance and fail to encompass the totality of phenomena in new contexts. One such case is local heritage material, traditionally considered part of local collections in information institutions, which, in the past two decades, has undergone significant changes in its organizational contexts and conditions, though these changes have not been systematically recorded at the theoretical level. A review of previous theory and the state of research, literature, and existing works in the field of local heritage and the organization of local content and materials reveals a research gap in the comprehensiveness or totality of theoretical and research perspectives on the given problems. Scholars and experts have explored certain segments of this topic, investigating and writing about various subjects and phenomena that partially touch upon the issue of organizing local heritage material online. However, there is no comprehensive study that addresses the principles of organizing local heritage material on the web, encompassing materials organized both by information or heritage institutions (GLAM) and by entities outside the information and heritage sectors or groups of interested citizens. This doctoral dissertation aims to defend the idea of developing theoretical and data-driven principles for organizing local heritage material in an online environment by researching websites that host such material, using the methodology of grounded theory. The motivational idea presented in the synopsis of this dissertation relates to the complexity and comprehensiveness of the approach, which has not been clearly recognized in existing research that focused on some aspects of this area, but certainly not on a comprehensive approach. The general research issue prompting further inquiry arises from the fact that previous studies on local collections have focused on websites associated with information institutions such as archives, libraries, or museums, while websites hosted by other institutions, organizations, associations, and volunteer groups have been studied separately. For this reason, the research is based on the concept of local heritage material, allowing for a sample selection according to a theoretical criterion, namely the content and theoretical relevance of the material for the phenomenon of local heritage, regardless of the organizer or other formal conditions of the website. By including websites from various initiators and organizers, the perspective is broadened, opening up additional possibilities for analysis, especially regarding user needs, which become precondition for user-centered design. Emphasis is placed on a comprehensive and complex approach. In considering the research problems and goals on which the synopsis of this doctoral dissertation is based, articulated through four points, the results of the research and conclusions can also be analyzed through these four points. The first research problem, which highlights the absence of systematic descriptions or scientifically well-defined principles for organizing local heritage material in an online environment, leads to the research goal of providing a detailed description of the organization of online local heritage material. The result is a comprehensive theoretical elaboration that develops principles and concepts for organizing local heritage material online. The second research problem indicates that the theory of organizing local heritage material is limited to describing local collections in information institutions and does not include collections created through the efforts of interested citizens. This leads to the research goal of generating principles for organizing online local heritage material based on data obtained from website research. As a result, a theoretical elaboration is created, consisting of principles for organizing local heritage material online, which were developed through theoretical sampling. The sample includes websites from both information institutions and local collections created by interested citizens or other institutions outside the information and heritage sectors. The third research problem identified in this context is that, due to the lack of well-defined principles for organizing local heritage material online, the criteria for the visibility and sustainability of this type of material in the broader networked world are unclear. This problem leads to the goal of providing solutions through systematic and clear principles to ensure the sustainability of local heritage material in an online environment. The outcome of this goal is a theoretical elaboration consisting of 13 concepts, 13 principles, and 4 formative concepts. The model is presented with a clear articulation that shows their connections and is grounded in research data, which are prerequisites for practical implications of sustainability for local heritage material in an online environment. The fourth research problem relates to the methodological level—it was observed that there are no clear and systematic outcomes from applying the grounded theory methodology in the field of information sciences, particularly in studies of information systems. Consequently, the research goal was to test the applicability of grounded theory in information sciences. The result of this research is the demonstrated potential for applying grounded theory in the field of information sciences, particularly in the study of websites as information systems, with positive outcomes. The research successfully generated a result known as grounded theory, or a theoretical conceptual model and principles for organizing local heritage material in an online environment. Each research problem indeed motivated a specific research goal, expressed in an action-oriented form, guiding the steps and progression of the research process. In developing the research strategy for this dissertation, grounded theory was chosen due to its observed applicability in information sciences, based on the inductive and qualitative methodological predisposition of the research problems and goals. This methodology, primarily developed in sociological research circles, is suitable for studying phenomena that change rapidly and require the generation of a theoretical description based on primary research data in a short period. It has been recognized as appropriate for this dissertation. What is certainly novel in the research approach proposed in this work is the idea that the concept of local heritage material is freed from its exclusive reliance on institutional work and collection-focused research approaches. The research starts from the smallest unit common to all types of websites that host local heritage material—the unit of local heritage material itself. Local heritage material is considered an independent unit relative to other materials on websites based on the content (and sometimes formal) criterion of local relevance, that is, belonging to a local heritage context. The common expression of "local heritage" in Croatian language and librarianship (and other professions) is "zavičajna baština", which has a meaning similar to the concept of homeland, while in other linguistic and cultural traditions, the term is based on the meanings of locality and local history. Accordingly, the research includes websites with terms such as "local collection" or "local history collection" in English. Based on this approach of studying materials rather than collections or institutions, the research also includes websites featuring local heritage material created by citizens, such as participatory collections or local heritage collections on social media. This inclusion allows individuals from the local area, groups of citizens, and volunteers to be equally represented in the research context alongside the traditional hosts of websites featuring local heritage material. To summarize: the research problems motivating this dissertation are connected to the organization of local heritage material in its changed online context. The research will encompass various websites hosting local heritage material, and it is important to emphasize that both local heritage materials organized in collections by information institutions and those organized by citizen groups will be studied. The goal of this work is to review and describe the current state of online organization of local heritage material and, based on data analysis, ultimately generate principles for organizing local heritage material in an online environment. The original scientific contribution of this dissertation is expected to come in the form of an original research report and the application of grounded theory in the field of information sciences, with the goal of generating modern and comprehensive principles for organizing local heritage material online. Clear principles for organizing local heritage material contribute to the visibility and sustainability of information institutions in the networked and online world. The methodological contribution is also significant, as the application of grounded theory in information sciences, especially in the study of information systems, has not been significantly or sufficiently documented. Therefore, the research component of this work will provide an opportunity to test and demonstrate the applicability of grounded theory in information sciences, specifically in the study of information systems. The key contributions of this research lie in revealing the complexity of the interaction among the main concepts of organizing online local heritage material, which has not been previously recognized in the literature. Based on an analysis of research data using the grounded theory methodology, a conceptual model was developed, illustrating how the 13 central concepts related to the organization of online local heritage material are based on 13 theoretical principles concerning the phenomenon of local heritage in an online environment. This provides a new perspective on the organization of online local heritage material, the material itself, and local heritage content in general, offering practical implications for both further theoretical research and practice. In conclusion, this research highlights the need for continued study of the organization of local heritage material in the online environment, as the field possesses a number of distinctive features that differentiate it from other areas of the digital world. These distinctions are reflected through categories identified inductively, starting from the specific data, followed by the grouping of items, and ultimately by identifying categories and concepts. While the names of the concepts may resemble general concepts in the digital organization of materials, the underlying categories and properties reveal the specific nature of this field. The theoretical principles outlined in this dissertation, such as the principles of micro-linguistics (N3), spatial belonging (N4), local strategy (N6), local or regional studies (N7), and community (N9), underscore the distinctiveness of organizing local heritage material. This doctoral dissertation is a proposal for approaching this complex and specific information and heritage phenomenon, as well as a reminder of the importance of developing theoretical thinking about constantly changing phenomena in the dynamic online environment
Lyrical elements in the novel “The life of Arseniev” by I. Bunin
No full textU diplomskome se radu proučavaju lirski elementi u romanu „Život Arsenjeva” Ivana Bunina, s tezom da je struktura rečenica povezana sa stalnim putovanjima glavnog lika Alekseja. Prvo se ukratko govori o važnosti Buninova stvaralaštva i povijesnom značaju romana „Život Arsenjeva”, od čega se prelazi na objašnjenje njegovih osnovnih odrednica i tema kojima se bavi. Teme se kroz rad pomnije analiziraju, a posebna se pažnja dodjeljuje jeziku romana, skladnosti i specifičnosti rečenica, koje već na razini strukture sadrže dijelove osobnosti glavnog lika Alekseja posebno izražavajući njegovu čežnju za neprestanom potragom. Aleksej putuje na trima razinama: prostornoj, vremenskoj i jezičnoj, a sve one imaju isti cilj, što je karakterizacija lika. Pri osvrtu na sadržaj romana počinju se izdvajati lirski elementi, navode se citati kao primjeri i zaključuje se da je roman liričan po mnogim obilježjima, prvenstveno po subjektivnosti i osjećajnosti postignutima Aleksejevim unutarnjim monolozima koji često graniče sa strujom svijesti. Lirski elementi ne samo da upotpunjuju roman nego su njegovo osnovno obilježje. Aleksejev pogled na svijet, razmišljanja i promjene dok odrasta preneseni su pomno izabranim riječima. Upravo se na primjeru toga kako Aleksej doživljava navedene likove može zaključiti koliko se i sam promijenio, na koji način, kao i u čemu je, s druge strane, ostao isti. Analizira se način na koji opisuje svog oca i Liku, a pogotovo promjena koja nastaje u načinu na koji doživljava druge. Iz toga se može zaključiti da je spoznajom sebe bolje prihvatio i shvatio i druge, ali ono što ostaje isto ipak je stalna potraga za smislom i odgovorima na važna životna pitanja. Dakle, koristeći se izvornim citatima, analiziraju se njegovi odnosi s drugim ljudima, povezanost s domom, koji je u romanu doveden gotovo na razinu mita; a zaključno se proučava i kraj romana kako bi se usporedio i povezao s početkom. Obiteljski dom zasigurno je ono što ih povezuje, a lirski elementi ono su što omogućuje takvu sveobuhvatnost romana i iscrpnu analizu Aleksejeva doživljaja života. Njegova putovanja simbolično predstavljaju odrastanje i potragu za sobom. To je dokazano i na primjeru prstenaste kompozicije: iako se Aleksej vraća odakle je sve krenulo, u svoj početak, jasno je da nije isti i da je najveća promjena koja se dogodila u njemu samome. Zaključeno je da se struktura rečenica u kojima se opisuju vanjski svijet i objektivna zbivanja razlikuje od one kojom pripovjedač nastoji vjerno prenijeti svoje misli i osjećaje, svoju dušu. Potvrđena je teza da tema putovanja objedinjuje Alekseja i da se ostvaruje na prostornoj, vremenskoj i jezičnoj razini. U radu se zaključuje da je cilj njegovog putovanja – samo kretanje, koje je uspješno odraženo i na razini romanskog stila. Na taj način Aleksej izbjegava kraj, što na simboličnoj razini predstavlja stalnu potragu koja se nastavlja
The problem of the metaphysics of presence in Beckett's prose and drama
No full textOvaj rad istražuje dodirnu točku filozofije i književnosti u problemu metafizike prisutnosti kroz analizu tog filozofskog koncepta u kontekstu književnih tekstova Samuela Becketta. Beckett je prepoznat kao jedan od najvažnijih autora 20. stoljeća, a njegovi tekstovi obuhvaćaju niz egzistencijalnih motiva, ontološki fragmentirane likove i metanarativne elemente kojima u književni tekst unosi filozofske ideje 20. stoljeća, ali i povijesti filozofije općenito. Radom je postavljen teorijski okvir ispitivanja problema dihotomije prisutnosti i odsutnosti, s prikazom glavnih autora i ključnih ideja u promišljanju te dihotomije, s naglaskom na misli francuskog filozofa Jacquesa Derridaa i njegov projekt istraživanja granica jezika, tekstualne i govorne komunikacije te zapadne metafizike koja je dotad prednost davala prisutnosti kao epistemičkoj i ontološkoj osnovi. Taj je teorijski okvir zatim iskorišten za analizu tri Beckettova romana, popularno nazivana Beckettovom „trilogijom“, pomoću kojih je razmotreno pitanje identiteta književnog lika: Molloy, Malone umire, Neimenjivi. Isto je učinjeno i na Beckettovim dramskim tekstovima, od kojih su za analizu odabrani Krappova posljednja vrpca, Koraci i Ne Ja kao poznati, ali ne toliko kanonski priznati primjeri Beckettovog dramskog pisanja. U kontekstu metafizike prisutnosti, u radu je analiziran i problem prostora i vremena kao dviju kategorija koje, prema nekim filozofskim teorijama također spomenutima u radu, čine uvjet ljudskog iskustva i spoznaje, a u Beckettovim su tekstovima ispitane i postavljene na Beckettu svojstven način te čine još jednu značajnu karakteristiku i vrijednost njegovih tekstova.This paper explores the touchpoint between philosophy and literature in the problem of the metaphysics of presence through the analysis of that philosophical concept in the context of Samuel Beckett's literary texts. Beckett is recognized as one of the most important authors of the 20th century, and his texts include a number of existential motifs, ontologically fragmented characters, and metanarrative elements, with which he brings into the literary text philosophical ideas of the 20th century, as well as the history of philosophy in general. This paper sets up a theoretical framework for examining the problem of the dichotomy of presence and absence, with a presentation of the main authors and key ideas in the reflection of this dichotomy, with an emphasis on the thoughts of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida and his project of researching the boundaries of language, textual and spoken communication, and Western metaphysics, which until gave an advantage to presence as an epistemic and ontological basis. This theoretical framework is then used to analyze three of Beckett's novels, popularly called Beckett's "Trilogy", through which the question of the identity of the literary character is discussed: Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable. The same was done on Beckett's dramatic texts, from which the following were selected for analysis: Krapp's Last Tape, Footfalls and Not I, as well-known, but not so canonically recognized, examples of Beckett's dramatic writing. In the context of the metaphysics of presence, this paper also analyzes the problem of space and time as two categories which, according to some philosophical theories also mentioned in the paper, form the condition of human experience and cognition, and in Beckett's texts they are examined and set in a Beckett-specific way and form another significant feature and value of his texts
Content adaptation for social media
No full textDruštveni mediji dio su svakodnevnog života – ključni su izvor informacija, ali i zabave, služe za stvaranje zajednica, oblikuju način na koji komuniciramo, izražavamo individualnost, a koriste se i u akademske, poslovne i privatne svrhe. Platforme se međusobno razlikuju kao i njihovi korisnici koji generiraju sadržaj prilagođen upravo platformi koju koriste. Ovaj diplomski rad u teorijskom dijelu obuhvaća pregled nekoliko društvenih mreža i njihovih sadržaja, opisuje kako različite platforme zahtijevaju specifičan pristup prezentaciji informacija, opisuju se i preferencije korisnika, algoritamske promjene i estetske norme koje utječu na učinkovitost sadržaja na društvenim mrežama. U istraživačkom dijelu rada prikazan će biti pregled relevantne literature o prilagodbi sadržaja za društvene medije. Osim pregleda literature provedeno će biti i kratko istraživanje unutar pojedinih platformi koje istražuje kako najbolje iskoristiti potencijal svake platforme kako bi se postigla što kvalitetnija interakcija s ciljanim publikama te kako sadržaj za koju mrežu učiniti što uvjerljivijim.Social media are a part of everyday life — they are a key source of information and entertainment, serve to create communities, shape the way we communicate and express individuality, and are used for academic, business, and personal purposes. Platforms differ from each other just as their users do, with content being generated that is specifically tailored to the platform being used. The theoretical section of this thesis includes a review of several social networks and their content, describing how different platforms require a specific approach to presenting information, as well as discussing user preferences, algorithmic changes, and aesthetic norms that affect the effectiveness of content on social media. The research section of the thesis will present a review of relevant literature on content adaptation for social media. In addition to the literature review, a brief study will be conducted within selected platforms to explore how best to leverage the potential of each platform to achieve higher-quality interaction with target audiences and how to make content for each network as compelling as possible
