Romain Gary, La Promesse de l'aube: prijevod ulomka romana i traduktološka analiza
Romain Gary compte parmi les écrivains français les plus emblématiques du XXe siècle. Ce travail de mémoire propose la traduction d’un extrait de son roman La Promesse de l’aube, encore inédit en Croatie. Précédée d’une réflexion approfondie sur la critique de la figure traditionnelle de la traduction en Occident — à travers les notions de platonisme, d’ethnocentrisme et d’hypertextualité développées par Antoine Berman dans La traduction et la lettre ou l’auberge du lointain —, une analyse détaillée de la traduction est menée. Celle-ci s’articule principalement autour des treize tendances déformantes identifiées par Berman, illustrées par des exemples concrets. Notre mémoire met également en lumière d’autres défis rencontrés au cours du processus de traduction. A la fin du memoire, une conclusion propose une évaluation critique de la traduction et interroge la pertinence des critères d’analyse établis par Berman.Romain Gary jedan je od najistaknutijih francuskih književnika 20. stoljeća. Ovaj diplomski rad donosi prijevod ulomka iz njegova romana Obećanje u zoru, koji dosad nije objavljen u Hrvatskoj. Analizi prijevoda prethodi temeljita analiza kritike tradicionalnog shvaćanja prevođenja na Zapadu — kroz pojmove platonizma, etnocentrizma i hipertekstualnosti koje je razvio Antoine Berman u djelu La traduction et la lettre ou l’auberge du lointain. Provedena analiza prijevoda ponajviše se fokusira na trinaest deformirajućih tendencija koje je identificirao Berman, ilustriranih konkretnim primjerima. Rad također osvjetljava i druge izazove s kojima se prevoditelj susreće tijekom procesa prevođenja. Na kraju, u zaključku se kritički vrednuje prijevod i preispituje relevantnost Bermanovih kriterija analize
Studentska mobilnost - prvi korak iseljavanja visokoobrazovanih migranata iz Republike Hrvatske
U radu se istražuje iskustvo studenata Filozofskog i Veterinarskog Fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu koji su sudjelovali u Erasmus ili sličnim programima studentske mobilnosti. Na temelju polustrukturiranih intervjua i analize relevantne literature istražuje se cjelokupno iskustvo studentske mobilnosti. Cilj rada je dobiti detaljniji uvid u studentske motivacije za odlazak na mobilnost, iskustvo integracije u novu državu, te posljedice koje je studentska mobilnost imala na njihove daljnje akademske, profesionalne i životne odluke. Također, cilj je uvidjeti postoji li uzročno-posljedična veza između odlaska na studentsku mobilnost i daljnjeg zaposlenja u inozemstvu.This paper explores the experiences of students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Zagreb who have participated in Erasmus or similar student mobility programs. Based on semi-structured interviews and an analysis of relevant literature, the research examines the overall experience of student mobility. The aim of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of students' motivations for participating in mobility programs, their integration experiences in a new country, and the impact of student mobility on their future academic, professional, and personal decisions. Additionally, the research seeks to determine whether there is a causal relationship between participation in student mobility programs and subsequent employment abroad
Translating a Song: The Lyrics of Hadestown
This thesis examines how performer feedback influences the translation of songs for musical theatre, focusing on how such input can shape and refine initial translation decisions. Centering on a case study of selected songs from Hadestown, the research adopts an autoethnographic, two-phase methodology. The first phase involved producing initial translations based on established theoretical models, most notably Peter Low’s Pentathlon Principle and Johan Franzon’s functional approach. In the second phase, professional musical theatre performers evaluated these translations through surveys and group interviews, offering both quantitative and qualitative feedback. The feedback revealed that performers prioritized musical accuracy and clarity, prompting revisions that improved phrasing and naturalness of the translated lyrics. These findings highlight the crucial role performers play in shaping translations that are not only linguistically accurate, but also performable, underscoring the value of collaborative approaches in musical theatre translation

Mental health of healthcare professionals in pediatric oncology and hematology
Dugotrajno i intenzivno suosjećanje s pacijentima može dovesti do zamora suosjećanja i psihičkih smetnji zdravstvenih djelatnika. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi povezanost profesionalne kvalitete života, samosuosjećanja i psihičkih smetnji zdravstvenih djelatnika na pedijatrijskoj onkologiji i hematologiji. U istraživanju provedenom online anketnim upitnikom sudjelovalo je 60 zdravstvenih djelatnika spomenutog odjela, predstavljajući odaziv od 54 % populacije u Hrvatskoj. Rezultati su pokazali da zdravstveni djelatnici imaju umjerene razine sekundarnog traumatskog stresa (STS), sagorijevanja i samosuosjećanja, umjereno do visoko zadovoljstvo suosjećanjem te izraženosti psihičkih smetnji slične općoj populaciji, osim anksioznosti koju doživljavaju češće od opće populacije. S manje izraženim psihičkim smetnjama povezani su veće zadovoljstvo suosjećanjem te niže sagorijevanje i STS. Veće samosuosjećanje je povezano s nižim sagorijevanjem i STS-om, s većim zadovoljstvom suosjećanjem i s manje psihičkih smetnji. Dob sudionika nije povezana s domenama profesionalne kvalitete života, a dulji ukupni radni staž i radni staž na odjelu su povezani s višim STS-om. Pokazalo se da većina zdravstvenih djelatnika nema dostupnu profesionalnu psihološku podršku na radnom mjestu te da većina njih ima potrebu za njom. Provedeno istraživanje pruža važne teorijske doprinose u istraživanju psiholoških posljedica rada s djecom s malignim bolestima, kao i praktične smjernice za očuvanje psihološke dobrobiti zdravstvenih djelatnika.Prolonged and intense compassion for patients can lead to compassion fatigue and mental health problems in healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship among professional quality of life, self-compassion and mental health problems of healthcare professionals in pediatric hemato-oncology. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire and involved 60 healthcare professionals in pediatric hemato-oncology, representing a response rate of 54 % of the population in Croatia. The results showed that healthcare professionals have moderate levels of secondary traumatic stress (STS), burnout and self-compassion, moderate to high compassion satisfaction and mental health problems like the general population, except for anxiety, which they experience more often than the general population. Less severe mental health problems are associated with higher compassion satisfaction and with lower burnout and STS. Higher self-compassion is associated with lower burnout and STS, higher compassion satisfaction and less severe mental health problems. The participant’s age is not related to professional quality of life, and longer total work experience and work experience in the department are associated with higher STS. Results show that most healthcare professionals do not have access to professional psychological support in the workplace and that most of them have the need for it. This study provides important theoretical contributions in the research on psychological consequences of working with children with malignant diseases, as well as practical guidelines for preserving the psychological well-being of healthcare professionals
Uloga sportskih aplikacija u međukulturalnoj komunikaciji: Analiza Sofascoreove lokalizacije s engleskog na hrvatski
The rapid growth of the sports app industry during the 21st century highlights the increasing need for effective localization to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps among global users. English dominates the digital sports scene, but localized content improves the user experience by fitting particular cultural settings and language preferences. Originating from Croatia, the globally known sports application Sofascore has not yet fully used its localization possibilities. A lack of localized elements and culturally unfitting sports vocabulary could cause the app to fail in communication. Croatian language speakers familiar with sports vocabulary from local media may show less engagement, depending on poor or inconsistent localization. Likewise, the possibility of Croatian localization to improve interaction with app features remains unknown. This study intends to assess whether Sofascore's English-Croatian translation meets the needs of its Croatian users, enhances user engagement, and, through its efficacy, promotes cross-cultural communication.
Furthermore, the research seeks to identify challenges in translating complex sports terminology and maintaining cultural relevance, while providing insights into enhancing localization strategies for the app's long-term growth. The study also investigates how translations bridge linguistic and cultural gaps, improve user understanding, and affect engagement. It addresses the growing importance of localization in the sports app industry. It involves direct interaction with participants who use the Croatian language in the app, while gathering data from observation of their user experience through surveys. The study's findings will gather linguistic analyses of the translation and user feedback analysis to fill the gaps in the app for Croatian localization and provide insights into effective localization strategies for future app versions.Eksponencijalni rast industrije sportskih aplikacija u 21. stoljeću ukazuje na sve izraženiju potrebu za učinkovitom lokalizacijom kao sredstvom za rješavanje jezičnih i kulturnih barijera. Iako engleski jezik i dalje dominira sportskom industrijom, lokalizacija predstavlja ključan faktor u unaprjeđenju korisničkog iskustva prilagodbom specifičnim kulturnim kontekstima i jezičnim normama ciljanih zajednica. Sofascore, međunarodno prepoznata sportska aplikacija hrvatskog podrijetla, nije u potpunosti iskoristila svoj potencijal u pogledu lokalizacije. Nedostatak lokaliziranog sadržaja i upotreba sportske terminologije koja nije usklađena s jezičnim i kulturološkim normama hrvatskoga govornog područja može otežati komunikaciju unutar aplikacije te posljedično smanjiti angažman korisnika.
Govornici hrvatskoga jezika, navikli na terminologiju prisutnu u domaćem sportskom diskursu, mogli bi imati nižu razinu interakcije s aplikacijom u slučaju nedosljedne ili neprikladne lokalizacije. Potencijal lokalizirane aplikacije na hrvatski jezik još uvijek ostaje neistražen. Ovaj rad stoga se usmjerava na analizu kvalitete englesko-hrvatskog prijevoda u aplikaciji Sofascore, s ciljem utvrđivanja zadovoljava li on potrebe korisnika hrvatskog jezika, doprinosi li povećanom angažmanu te pospješuje li međukulturnu komunikaciju kroz jezičnu prilagodbu.
Nadalje, istraživanje problematizira izazove u prevođenju složenih sportskih termina te očuvanju kulturne primjerenosti sadržaja, nastojeći pritom formulirati smjernice za optimizaciju lokalizacijskih strategija u kontekstu dugoročnog razvoja aplikacije. Istraživački proces uključuje prikupljanje podataka putem anketiranja korisnika koji aplikaciju koriste na hrvatskom jeziku te analizu njihovih iskustava u interakciji s aplikacijom. Rezultati se temelje na jezičnoj analizi postojećih prijevoda i odgovora korisnika, s ciljem identificiranja postojećih nedostataka te izrade smjernica za učinkovitiju lokalizaciju budućih verzija aplikacije
Elementi fantastike u neorobovskim romanima 21. stoljeća
The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore if and how elements of Tzvetan Todorov’s
fantastic are represented in 21st century U.S. neo-slave novels. The three novels chosen for this
purpose are Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad, Ta-Nehisi Coates’ The Water
Dancer, and James McBride’s Song Yet Sung. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how each
of the three novels incorporate supernatural elements to depict slavery and the struggle for
freedom through the lens of Todorov’s theoretical framework of the fantastic. Todorov’s three
requirements for fantastic - hesitation by the characters, hesitation by the readers, and conscious
rejection of any allegorical reading of the text, are used as a foundation for determining the
extent to which each novel aligns with the subgenres of the fantastic such as pure fantastic,
fantastic-marvelous and fantastic-uncanny. The analysis shows that Song Yet Sung is the only
one of the three novels that can be categorized as pure fantastic because the ambiguity of the
supernatural events is maintained all through the novel. The Underground Railroad and The
Water Dancer can be categorized under the fantastic-marvelous subgenre, because even though
the beginning of these novels is laced with hesitation, by the end the characters have somewhat
accepted the supernatural events within the logic of the narrative world. Ultimately, while all
three novels are considered fantastic, the supernatural and fantastic elements are used as means
of representing African American trauma and bringing the legacy of slavery to the limelight in
the 21st century
Digitalization in the classroom : benefits and challenges for teaching and learning
U suvremenom digitalnom dobu tehnologija je neizostavan dio svakodnevnog života, što predstavlja kontinuirane zahtjeve za obrazovni sustav. Sve veća prisutnost digitalnih alata u učionicama potaknula je transformaciju tradicionalnih nastavnih metoda, a takva promjena donosi niz izazova kako za nastavnike, tako i za učenike. Ovaj rad ima za cilj analizirati utjecaj tehnologije na suvremeni obrazovni proces, s posebnim naglaskom na prednosti i nedostatke digitalizacije učionice. Dan je pregled relevantne znanstvene i stručne literature te ostalih izvora radi uvida u učinke integracije digitalnih resursa u nastavu. Prikazano je kako tehnologija, ako se primjenjuje na promišljen i pedagoški utemeljen način, može znatno unaprijediti kvalitetu nastave, motivaciju učenika te dostupnost informacija i personaliziranih sadržaja. Istovremeno, istaknuti su mogući problemi povezani s nedostatkom resursa, tehničke i pedagoške pripreme, kao i mogući učinci prekomjerne uporabe tehnologije na učenike, ali i mogućnosti za unapređenje obrazovne prakse u digitalnom okruženju.In the contemporary digital age, technology plays an essential role in everyday life, constantly posing new demands on the education system. The near-omnipresence of digital tools in classrooms has triggered a shift from traditional teaching methods, bringing many challenges for both teachers and students. This paper aims to analyze the impact of technology on contemporary education, with an emphasis on the benefits and drawbacks of classroom digitalization. It provides an overview of relevant scientific, professional, and other sources to illustrate the effects of integrating digital resources into education. When used thoughtfully and based on pedagogical principles, technology can significantly enhance teaching quality, increase students’ motivation, and provide better access to information and personalized content. At the same time, potential issues related to the lack of resources, technical and pedagogical preparedness, as well as possible effects of excessive use of technology on students, are highlighted, along with opportunities for improving educational practices in the digital environment
Kognitivno opterećenje pri snalaženju fizičkim prostorima bogatim informacijama : Slučaj japanskih željezničkih postaja
This paper examines the cognitive challenges of navigating complex, information-rich environments, using major Japanese train stations as a case study. Drawing on cognitive load theory, embodied cognition, and active inference, it investigates how individuals navigate these spaces. An observational study compared the behavior of experienced commuters and inexperienced users in stations like Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Shibuya, noting differences in navigation patterns, reliance on signage and digital tools, and points of confusion such as ticket gates. Previous studies and observation both indicate that inexperienced users experience higher cognitive load and rely more on external aids. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of cognitive science insights for designing accessible and user-friendly navigation systems in complex environments, offering directions for future research
Architecture and urbanism in Slavonski Brod after 1945.
Grad Slavonski Brod razvio se na lokalitetu s tisućljetnom tradicijom naseljavanja, a kasni srednji vijek postavio je temelje njegova urbanističkog lica oblikujući ortogonalni raster današnje povijesne jezgre. Idući katalizator urbanističkih promjena u Brodu bio je pogranični obrambeni div – Tvrđava Brod, koja uvjetuje urbanističku sliku grada sve do danas. Godine 1876. Brod je proglašen gradom pod imenom Brod na Savi, a bogate gradske palače nanovo oblikuju njegovo arhitektonsko lice. Brod sadrži brojne primjere arhitekture „dugog XIX. stoljeća”. Grad se razvijao u historicističkoj maniri čak i iza Prvog Svjetskog rata. Početkom XX. stoljeća Brod se počinje razvijati u industrijski grad, a gradnja velikog tvorničkog diva „Đure Đakovića” idući je ključni faktor njegova urbanističkog i arhitektonskog razvoja. Drugi svjetski rat rezultirao je velikim ljudskim i materijalnim štetama, no SFRJ posvećuje veliku pažnju njegovoj ubrzanoj obnovi. U periodu druge Jugoslavije urbanistička slika grada intenzivno se razvija, a nova arhitektura oblikuje modernističko lice grada. Gradnju odlikuju kapitalni državni projekti, a najistaknutija se postignuća mogu pronaći unutra sklopa tvornice „Đuro Đaković”. Krajem XX. stoljeća Slavonski Brod nastradao je u ratu, a obnova u Republici Hrvatskoj odvijala se sporije, no do danas je uspješno izvedena. Arhitekturu u suvremenom dobu karakteriziraju gradski projekti i izgradnja suvremenih javnih sadržaja, a urbanističko lice grada dotjerano je kvalitetnim prometnim rješenjima. Danas se urbanističko-arhitektonsko lice Slavonskog Broda odlikuje heterogenošću izraza, no nudi kvalitetne temelje za daljnji razvoj grada.The city of Slavonski Brod developed on a site that follows a thousand-year settlement tradition, and the late Midle Ages laid the foundations of its urbanistic face, shaping the orthogonal grid of today's historic core. The next catalyst of urban changes in Brod was the border defensive giant - Fortress Brod - that conditions the urban image up to this day. In 1876. Brod was declared a city under the name Brod Na Savi, and the rich city palaces began to shape its architectural face. Brod is an excellent example of the “long 19th century”, developing in a historic manner even after WWI, but at the beginning of the 20th century Brod also began its development into an industrial city, and the construction of the new industrial giant, “Đuro Đaković” factory was the next key factor in its urbanistic and architectural development. The Second World War resulted in great human and material damages, but socialist Yugoslavia had given great attention to its rapid reconstruction. Post-1945 architecture is characterized by capital state projects, and the most oustanding achievements can be found inside the “Đuro Đaković” factory complex. At the end of the 20th century, Slavonski Brod suffered yet another terrible war damage, and the reconstruction in the Republic of Croatia was slower, but up to this day it has been successfully completed. Architecture nowadays is characterized by the city and state funded projects and the construction of contemporary public facilities, while the urban image of the city is refined with high-quality traffic solutions. Today, the urban and architectural image of Slavonski Brod is characterized by heterogeneity of expression, but it offers quality foundations for the city's further development
