Open educational resources in the higher education library as a support for students in studying during extraordinary conditions
No full textTijekom izvanrednih uvjeta, poput pandemije COVID-19, visokoškolske knjižnice su značajno unaprijedile svoju podršku studentima kroz otvorene obrazovne sadržaje. Zatvaranje ustanova i prelazak na online ili hibridnu nastavu ograničili su fizički pristup knjižnicama, što je ubrzalo digitalizaciju i razvoj novih informacijskih usluga. Knjižnice su omogućile pristup na daljinu digitalnoj građi, repozitorijima i bazama podataka, a knjižničari su pružali pomoć studentima u traženju i korištenju informacija online putem. Otvoreni obrazovni sadržaji, dostupni na digitalnim platformama, omogućili su studentima neometano učenje, samoprocjenu znanja i individualizirani pristup materijalima. Uloga knjižničara pritom je bila ključna u edukaciji korisnika i osiguravanju relevantnih i kvalitetnih izvora, čime su visokoškolske knjižnice postale važan oslonac studentima u izazovnim vremenima.During extraordinary conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education libraries have significantly improved their support for students through open educational resources. The closure of institutions and the transition to online or hybrid teaching have limited physical access to libraries, which has accelerated digitalization and the development of new information services. Libraries have enabled remote access to digital materials, repositories and databases, and librarians have provided assistance to students in searching for and using information through online communication channels. Open educational resources, available on digital platforms, has enabled students to learn without interruption, self-assess knowledge and individualized access to materials. The role of librarians has been crucial in educating users and providing relevant and high-quality resources, making higher education libraries an important support for students in challenging times
Poetics and politics in the epic Petar Kanavelić's "St. John Bishop of Trogir and King Koloman" - imagological reading of the epic
No full textRad donosi uvid u život i književnu produkciju jednog od najplodnijih autora na prijelazu iz 17. u 18. stoljeće – Petra Kanavelića. Rođenjem Korčulanin, osobnim životom i poetikom tekstova „naturalizirani“ Dubrovčanin, iza sebe je ostavio jedan od najraznolikijih i najopsežnijih opusa onoga vremena, a među tim naslovima izdvaja se religiozno-povijesni ep u 24 pjevanja, na kojem je pjesnik radio pred kraj života, Sveti Ivan biskup trogirski i kralj Koloman. Taj se spjev smatra priključkom na tradiciju hrvatskih baroknih povijesnih epova te najreprezentativnijim hrvatskim tasovskim epom. Osim što se bavi epom iz žanrovske perspektive, rad u središnjem dijelu donosi interpretaciju epa iz imagološkog gledišta: na temelju polazišta i metodologije književne imagologije analizira se oblikovanje kolektivnog identiteta i alteriteta i njihove vrijednosne konotacije. Uočavajući književne strategije koje sudjeluju u oblikovanju kolektivnog identiteta/alteriteta na različitim razinama teksta, rad ujedno propituje njihovu funkciju te okolnosti nastanka kolektivnih predodžbi upućujući na povijesno-politički kontekst: na aktualnu političku situaciju u hrvatskim zemljama na prijelazu 17. i 18. stoljeća.This paper provides insight into the life and literary production of one of the most prolific Croatian authors at the turn of the 17th to 18th century, Petar Kanavelić. Born in Korčula, and through his personal life and poetic texts a “naturalized“ citizen of Dubrovnik, he left behind one of the most diverse and extensive bodies of work of his time. Among these works stands out a religious-historical epic in 24 cantos Saint John, Bishop of Trogir, and King Coloman, on which the poet worked towards the end of his life. This epic is considered a continuation of the tradition of Croatian Baroque historical epics and the most representative Croatian Tassian epic.
In addition to addressing the epic from a genre perspective, the paper, in its central part, offers an interpretation of the epic from an imagological viewpoint: based on the principles and methodology of literary imagology, it analyzes the shaping of collective identity and alterity and their value connotations. By identifying literary strategies that participate in the formation of collective identity/alterity on various levels of the text, the paper also examines their function and the circumstances of the creation of collective images, pointing to the historical-political context — namely, the political situation in the Croatian lands at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries

Reading as a trending activity in the digital world: new book clubs and ways of promoting reading
No full textČitanje je navika mnogih ljudi koja poboljšava kritičko razmišljanje i tako osnažuje komunikacijske i intelektualne vještine, a u zadnjih nekoliko godina čitanje postaje trend u online okruženju. Poznate i utjecajne osobe, tzv. influenceri osnivaju knjižne klubove (engl. book club) i uočava se pojava transformacije pojma tradicionalnih knjižnih klubova koje znamo. Navedeni klubovi funkcioniraju kroz različite online platforme poput Instagrama, TikToka i YouTubea, a neki imaju i svoj podcast gdje imaju priliku ugostiti autora knjige ili književne stručnjake. U ovom radu nastojat će se bolje razumjeti transformacija aktivnosti čitanja u trendovski fenomen te će se nastojati odgovoriti na pitanja koliki utjecaj imaju online knjižni klubovi na čitateljske navike svojih pratitelja, na kakvoj vrsti medija su knjige koje promoviraju i na koji način utječu na mišljenja svoje publike.Reading is a habit of a lot of people which improves critical thinking and strengthens communication and intelectual skills, in the last few years reading is becoming a trend in the online environment. Famous and influential people, known as infuencers, are establishing book clubs and the definition of traditional book clubs is changing. These clubs function through various online platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, some of them even have their own podcasts where they have a chance to welcome the book's author or a literary expert. This thesis will attempt to better understand the transformation of reading into a trending phenomenon and strive to answer questions such as how much influence do online book clubs have on reading habits of their followers, on what kind of media are the books they are promoting and in which way do they influence the crowds opinions
Political Humour in Derry Girls
No full textThis thesis investigates the role of political humour in Derry Girls, a sitcom created and written by Lisa McGee and set in Northern Ireland during the final years of the Troubles. While the series primarily follows the everyday lives of five teenagers, its humour repeatedly intersects with the political and cultural realities of 1990s Derry. The thesis argues that comedy in the show is not simply light entertainment, but a linguistic and cultural strategy for processing conflict. The analysis draws on Grice’s (1975) Cooperative Principle, focusing on how conversational maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner are deliberately violated to create humour. In addition, classical humour theories, superiority, incongruity, and relief, are employed to explain how maxim violations generate layered effects of ridicule, surprise, and emotional release. A corpus of four episodes was selected for close reading, each chosen for their narrative and political significance: the pilot episode, “Across the Barricade,” “The Concert,” and the series finale, “The Agreement.” The findings show that breaches of the Maxim of Relation are most frequent, often redirecting serious political topics toward trivial or absurd concerns. These moments of irrelevance highlight incongruity and invite laughter while also softening the impact of trauma through relief. Violations of Quantity and Manner further contribute to comedic momentum, often producing digressions and exaggerations that allow viewers to feel superiority over naïve or misguided characters. Ultimately, the thesis demonstrates that Derry Girls transforms everyday conversations into subtle political commentary. By filtering violence and conflict through humour, the series creates a unique form of storytelling in which laughter becomes both critique and catharsis
User habits and satisfaction with the contents of the Jarun Recreation and Sports Center
No full textOvaj diplomski rad istražuje navike korisnika i zadovoljstvo sadržajem Rekreacijsko-sportskog centra Jarun u Zagrebu. Polazište je važnost javnih prostora i zelene infrastrukture za kvalitetu života, socijalnu interakciju, zdravlje stanovnika i održivost urbanih sredina. Kroz kvantitativnu analizu podataka anketnog istraživanja s 2266 sudionika ispitani su obrasci korištenja Jaruna, vrste aktivnosti, učestalost posjeta te stavovi korisnika o postojećoj infrastrukturi i budućem razvoju prostora. Rezultati pokazuju da većina korisnika Jarun koristi za rekreaciju i druženje, dok ga trećina uključuje u svakodnevne rutine. Uočena je povezanost između učestalosti posjeta i aktivnosti – redoviti korisnici češće se bave sportom, a povremeni preferiraju rekreativne sadržaje. Posebno se ističe da sportaši i oni koji Jarun koriste češće iskazuju nižu razinu zadovoljstva sportskom infrastrukturom u usporedbi s povremenim korisnicima. Većina ispitanika podržava unaprjeđenje infrastrukture, ali istovremeno se protivi velikim građevinskim zahvatima koji bi mogli ugroziti prirodni karakter prostora. Održivost se najčešće povezuje s očuvanjem prirodnih elemenata i održavanjem postojećih sadržaja, dok se komercijalizacija doživljava kao prijetnja. Rad zaključuje da Jarun predstavlja multifunkcionalan prostor od iznimnog značaja za svakodnevni život građana Zagreba te da njegovo daljnje planiranje zahtijeva participativan pristup usmjeren na potrebe korisnika i očuvanje prirodnih resursa.This master’s thesis explores the habits of users and their satisfaction with the facilities of the Jarun Sports and Recreation Center in Zagreb. The starting point is the importance of public spaces and green infrastructure for quality of life, social interaction, public health, and the sustainability of urban environments. Through quantitative analysis of survey data collected from 2,266 participants, the study examines patterns of use at Jarun, types of activities, frequency of visits, and user attitudes toward existing infrastructure and the future development of the area. The results show that most users visit Jarun primarily for recreation and socializing, while one third include it in their daily routines. A correlation was observed between frequency of visits and activities: regular visitors are more often engaged in sports, while occasional visitors prefer recreational activities. Notably, athletes and frequent users report a lower level of satisfaction with sports infrastructure compared to occasional visitors. The majority of respondents support improvements to infrastructure but oppose large construction projects that could endanger the natural character of the space. Sustainability is most often associated with the preservation of natural elements and the maintenance of existing facilities, while commercialization is perceived as a threat. The thesis concludes that Jarun represents a multifunctional space of exceptional importance for the everyday life of Zagreb’s citizens, and that its future planning requires a participatory approach focused on user needs and the preservation of natural resources
Iskazivanje plurala u lombardskim i venetskim dijalektima
No full textL’obiettivo di questa tesi di laurea è determinare i modi di formazione del plurale in due sistemi dialettali presenti nell’Italia settentrionale. Per l’analisi delle forme plurali sono state prese le regioni Lombardia e Veneto. La parte iniziale riassume le caratteristiche fonetiche principali di dialetti sopraindicati. Ogni regola è supportata da esempi e le categorie analizzate sono articoli, sostantivi e aggettivi. La seconda parte comprende l’analisi delle forme tratte dagli atlanti linguistici VIVALDI e AIS. Di tutte le categorie morfologiche sono prese le parole rappresentative: 'il cane', 'la casa', 'l’occhio', 'l’osso' e aggettivi 'bello', 'grande', 'sordo'. Nella parte finale vengono riassunte le somiglianze e le differenze tra i dialetti e il loro confronto con la lingua standard.Cilj je ovog diplomskog rada prikaz načina formiranja množine u dvama dijalektskim sustavima sjeverne Italije. Za analizu množinskih oblika izabrani su dijalekti Lombardije i Veneta. Početni dio ovoga rada sažima opće fonetske karakteristike lombardskih i venetskih dijalekata nakon čega slijede pravila oblikovanja množine u svakom dijalektu zasebno. Svako pravilo potkrijepljeno je primjerima, a morfološke kategorije koje su analizirane su članovi, imenice i pridjevi. U drugom dijelu iz svake morfološke kategorije određene su reprezentativne imenice u značenju pas, kuća, oči, kost i pridjevi lijep, velik, gluh, koji se zatim pretražuju u jezičnim atlasima VIVALDI i AIS, što omogućuje usporedbu oblika koji se upotrebljavaju u različitim dijelovim Lombardije i Veneta. U završnom dijelu iznose se sličnosti i razlike i zmeđu dijalekata i njihova usporedba sa standardnim talijanskim jezikom
Media Literacy in the Age of Fake News
No full textOvaj rad istražuje koncept medijske pismenosti i njezinu važnost u kontekstu sve češćeg suvremenog fenomena lažnih vijesti. Pojam lažnih vijesti razmatra se unutar suvremenog medijskog ekosustava, s ciljem povezivanja teorijskih uvida o kritičkoj medijskoj pismenosti s potrebama suvremenog obrazovanja u borbi protiv lažnih vijesti. Kroz kvalitativni pregled relevantne literature, cilj rada je ilustrirati kako različiti oblici medija mogu utjecati na širenje dezinformacija i oblikovanje javnog diskursa. Naglasak je stavljen na kritičku medijsku pismenost kao alat za osnaživanje u borbi protiv lažnih vijesti, kao i kompetencije koje su potrebne da se ista ostvari. Pokrivena područja obuhvaćaju kritičku pedagogiju, kritičku medijsku pismenost i teoriju medija. Proučeni su teorijski okviri medijske pismenosti, kritičke pedagogije te kritičke medijske pismenosti. Teorijski okviri prošireni su pedagoškim strategijama za razvoj kritičke medijske pismenosti, a zatim je napravljen pregled istraživanja autora koji pružaju kontekst medijske pismenosti u Hrvatskoj. U završnom dijelu uključena je analiza konkretnih slučajeva iz europskog konteksta kako bi se ilustrirali načini širenja lažnih vijesti u praksi. Pregled literature ukazuje na to da tradicionalni modeli obrazovanja nisu dovoljni za pripremu učenika za izazove suvremenog medijskog okruženja te da su nam potrebne transformativne obrazovne prakse koje učenike osnažuju za aktivno sudjelovanje u javnom diskursu i pripremaju učenike za kritičko propitkivanje medija s kojima dolaze u interakciju.This paper aims to explore the concept of media literacy and its importance in the context of the increasingly common phenomenon of fake news. The notion of fake news is considered within the contemporary media ecosystem, with the aim of connecting theoretical insights on critical media literacy to the needs of contemporary education in the effort against fake news. This paper includes a qualitative review of relevant literature, which aims to illustrate how different forms of media can influence the spread of disinformation and the shaping of public discourse. Emphasis is placed on critical media literacy as an empowerment tool in the combat against fake news, as well as the competence needed to achieve it. The covered areas include critical pedagogy, critical media literacy, and media theory. Theoretical frameworks of media literacy, critical pedagogy, and critical media literacy are assessed. The theoretical framework is then expanded with pedagogical strategies for developing critical media literacy, followed by an overview that provides the context for media literacy in Croatia. In the final section, an analysis of specific cases from the European context is included to illustrate the ways in which fake news is spread. The literature review suggests that traditional models of education are not sufficient to prepare students for the challenges of the contemporary media environment, and that we need transformative educational practices that empower students to actively participate in public discourse and which prepare students for a critical approach to the media they interact with

The study emphasizes the librarian’s role as a key actor in innovative and interdisciplinary education
Beyond Gameplay: Creating a Community on YouTube
No full textThis thesis deals with the intricate dynamics of community formation within gaming content on YouTube. Focusing beyond mere gameplay, the study seeks to discover the nuanced ways in which a YouTuber fosters camaraderie and cultivates positive, friendly relationships with their followers through shared language. Drawing on theories of community, virtual interaction, and social media affordances, the study examines how members engage with Daz and with each other across three types of videos: Gameplay, Daz Watches, and Life Update. Using a mixed-methods approach, comments were qualitatively coded into categories, while a chi-square test was applied to compare frequencies across video types. By doing so, this thesis aims to offer insights into the complex dynamics of community formation and members’ engagement within a single YouTube gaming channel, while at the same time contributing to a deeper understanding of virtual community-building in the contemporary media landscape
