    Potreba za unaprjeđenjem STEM područja obrazovanja dovodi do osjećaja neodređenosti u vezi prirode i konceptualizacije STEM obrazovanja, ne samo među edukatorima, nego i među drugim sudionicima, uključujući učenike i kreatore odgojno-obrazovnih politika. Tema ovog istraživanja je mogućnost postupnog uvođenja STEM obrazovanja u Republici Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini prema usporedbi sa zemljama koje su davno počele s njegovim realiziranjem. Kada se govori o pedagoškim inovacijama, s pravom se postavlja pitanje njihova suštinskog značenja, je li ih moguće uvoditi i kakve će učinke postići. Pojedini kreatori obrazovnih politika misle da uvođenje inovacija u nastavi prati ogromno materijalno ulaganje, potpuna reorganizacija odgojno-obrazovnog sustava te potpuno drugačije pripremanje nastavnog kadra. U ovom su radu izdvojene i obrađene inovacije u nastavi koje su eksperimentalno provjerene i već su pokazale pozitivne učinke u obrazovnim sustavima europskih zemalja i koje se mogu, bez iznimnih teškoća, postupno uvoditi i u obrazovne sustave Republike Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine. Preliminarno istraživanje uključivalo je primjenu sljedećih znanstvenih metoda: metoda analize i sinteze teme STEM obrazovanja i obrazovanja koje potiče rad s darovitim i talentiranim učenicima na primjerima dobre prakse uvođenja STEM područja u zemljama Europske unije, anketiranje učenika i nastavnika u tri osnovne škole u Republici Hrvatskoj (Split i Osijek) i Bosni i Hercegovini (Laktaši) i eksperimentalni dio (postupno uvođenje STEM područja u osnovno obrazovanje na primjeru STEM kluba i Tima za talentirane i nadarene učenike u OŠ „Mladen Stojanović“ Laktaši). Da bi se ostvarilo što potpunije uključivanje učenika i nastavnika u STEM područje obrazovanja, u ovom radu se prikazuju teorije te praktične metode i oblici rada koji kroz organiziranje izvannastavnih aktivnosti osiguravaju osnovne pretpostavke za njegovu provedbu i odabir modela koji se mogu postupno uvoditi i u obrazovne sustave Republike Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine. Nakon preliminarnog istraživanja u istraživanje je uključeno jedanaest škola iz Republike Hrvatske i jedanaest škola iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Uzorak nastavnika koji su sudjelovali u anketiranju je 119 (sto devetnaest) iz Republike Hrvatske i 113 (sto trinaest) iz Bosne i Hercegovine, uzorak učenika je 250 (dvije stotine pedeset) iz Republike Hrvatske i 274 (dvije stotine sedamdeset i četiri) iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Uzorak roditelja BiH je 248 (dvije stotine četrdeset i osam). Roditelji iz Republike Hrvatske nisu sudjelovali u istraživanju iako im je bilo ponuđeno.The need to improve the STEM field of education causes a feeling of uncertainty in relation to the nature and conceptualisation of STEM education not only among educators, but also among the other participants, including students and policymakers. The topic of this research is the possibility of gradual introduction of STEM education in primary schools in comparison with the countries which started implementing it long ago. When talking about pedagogical innovations, one can rightly question their essential meaning, i.e. whether it is possible to introduce them and what effects they will produce. Some education policymakers think that the introduction of innovations in teaching requires huge financial investments, reorganisation of the entire education system and completely different preparation of teaching staff. This study briefly addresses some teaching innovations which have mainly been experimentally verified, which have already produced positive effects, and which can be gradually introduced in our conditions as well, without any major difficulties. The preleminary research used the following scientific methods: the method of analysis and synthesis of the topic of STEM education and the education which encourages working with gifted and talented students, a survey conducted among the students and teachers in three primary schools in the Republic of Croatia (Split and Osijek) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Laktaši), and the experimental part (gradual introduction of the STEM field in primary education following the example of the STEM club and the Team for Talented and Gifted Students in the Primary School ‘Mladen Stojanović’ Laktaši. In order to achieve the most complete inclusion of students and teachers in the STEM field of education, this paper presents theories and practical methods and forms of work that, through the organization of extracurricular activities, provide the basic prerequisites for its implementation and the selection of models that can be gradually introduced into the educational systems of the Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the preliminary research, eleven schools from the Republic of Croatia and eleven schools from Bosnia and Herzegovina were included in the research. The sample of teachers who participated in the survey is 119 (one hundred and nineteen) from the Republic of Croatia and 113 (one hundred and thirteen) from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the sample of students is 250 (two hundred and fifty) from the Republic of Croatia and 274 (two hundred and seventy-four) from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The sample of BiH parents is 248 (two hundred and forty-eight). Parents from the Republic of Croatia did not participate in the research even though it was offered to them

    Doktorski rad aktualizira učinkovitost internog komuniciranja u javnim poduzećima u Hrvatskoj te definira varijable na koje je potrebno obratiti pozornost prilikom organiziranja internog komuniciranja. Pritom je temeljni znanstveni cilj kreirati optimalni model adekvatne interne komunikacije u javnim poduzećima u Hrvatskoj. S tom namjerom postavljena je glavna hipoteza da interna komunikacija značajno utječe na zadovoljstvo zaposlenika u javnom poduzeću (H1) te tri pomoćne hipoteze o postojanju pozitivne povezanosti zadovoljstva korporativnom informiranošću i komunikacijskom klimom (H2), pozitivne povezanosti zadovoljstva povratnim informacijama i komunikacije s nadređenim (H3) te o postojanju razlika u zadovoljstvu horizontalnom komunikacijom ovisno o starosnoj dobi i dužini radnog staža (H4). Doktorski rad sastoji se od dvaju glavnih dijelova koji obuhvaćaju teorijsku razradu i istraživanja. Teorijska razrada analizira dostupnu literaturu stranih i domaćih autora iz istraživanih područja, dok se istraživanja provode upotrebom komparativne metode i kvalitativne metodologije u tri koraka. Naime, prvo je putem anketnog upitnika provedeno istraživanje u trima velikim javnim poduzećima na uzorku od 1342 zaposlenika u kojem se ispitivalo općenito zadovoljstvo zaposlenika poslom s naglaskom na internu komunikaciju. Zatim su komparativnom metodom uspoređene sličnosti i razlike između dvaju istraživanja u Hrvatskoj pošti u kojima je ispitano zadovoljstvo zaposlenika u razmaku od deset godina. Završno su kvalitativnom metodologijom, odnosno metodom dubinskog intervjua ispitane ključne osobe odgovorne za internu komunikaciju, ljudske resurse i prodaju u javnim poduzećima koja su sudjelovala u provedbi istraživanja putem anketnog upitnika. U znanstvenom smislu, doktorski rad dokazuje da je zadovoljstvo zaposlenika internom komunikacijom povezano s ukupnim zadovoljstvom poslom znatno više nego što su sa zadovoljstvom poslom povezana sociodemografska obilježja. Posebno važnim aspektima interne komunikacije pokazalo se zadovoljstvo komunikacijskom klimom te zadovoljstvo komunikacijom s nadređenima. Rezultati istraživanja sugeriraju da javna poduzeća trebaju kontinuirano ulagati u razvoj i poboljšanje internih komunikacijskih procesa kako bi povećali zadovoljstvo zaposlenika na njihovim radnim mjestima što se može ostvariti osiguravanjem transparentnosti, poticanjem dvosmjerne komunikacije, redovitim obavještavanjem zaposlenika i promicanjem uključenosti i timskog rada putem komunikacijskih kanala unutar poduzeća. Rezultati ove doktorske disertacije mogu pomoći javnim poduzećima osigurati adekvatne resurse za ulaganje u optimalnu internu komunikaciju kako bi pozitivno utjecali na opće zadovoljstvo poslom i angažman zaposlenikaThe doctoral dissertation updates the effectiveness of internal communication in public companies in Croatia and defines the variables that need to be paid attention to when organizing internal communication. The fundamental scientific goal is to create an optimal model of adequate internal communication in public companies in Croatia.. With this intention, the main hypothesis was set that internal communication significantly affects the satisfaction of employees in a public company (H1) and three auxiliary hypotheses about the existence of a positive relationship between satisfaction with corporate information and communication climate (H2), a positive relationship between satisfaction with feedback and communication with superiors (H3), and the existence difference in satisfaction with horizontal communication depending on age and length of service (H4). The doctoral dissertation consists of two main parts, which include theoretical elaboration and research. The theoretical elaboration analyzes the available literature of foreign and domestic authors from the researched areas, while the research is conducted using the comparative method and qualitative methodology in three steps. First, a survey was conducted in three large public companies on a sample of 1,342 employees, in which the general satisfaction of employees with a focus on internal communication was examined. Then, using a comparative method, the similarities and differences between two qualitative surveys of the Croatian Post in which employee satisfaction was examined ten years apart were compared. Finally, the key persons responsible for internal communication, human resources and sales in public companies that participated in the implementation of the research were examined using a qualitative methodology, that is, an in-depth interview method. In a scientific sense, the doctoral dissertation proves that employee satisfaction with internal communication is associated with overall job satisfaction significantly more than sociodemographic characteristics are associated with job satisfaction. Particularly important aspects of internal communication were satisfaction with the communication climate and satisfaction with communication with superiors. The results of the research suggest that public companies should continuously invest in the development and improvement of internal communication processes in order to increase employee satisfaction in their workplaces, which can be achieved by ensuring transparency, encouraging two-way communication, regularly informing employees and promoting involvement and teamwork through communication channels within the company. The results of this doctoral dissertation can help public companies provide adequate resources for investing in optimal internal communication in order to positively influence general job satisfaction and employee engagemen

    Doktorski rad pod nazivom Kulturni identitet i kreativnost u glazbenom izvođenju – granice između reprodukcije i interpretacije sastoji se od dva dijela. Prvi dio podrazumijeva introspektivni umjetničko-istraživački rad na pripremi nove višestavačne skladbe za zborski ansambl - od idejne inicijative, razrade i organizacije projektne ideje, do umjetničke izvedbe iz perspektive dirigenta ansambla. Drugi se dio odnosi na znanstvenu, teorijsku i empirijsku elaboraciju kreativnih istraživačkih procesa prisutnih u postavljanju izvedbe u svrhu propitivanja pojma kreativnosti i identiteta u izvođačkoj umjetnosti te utvrđivanja elemenata izvođačkog (dirigentskog) kreativnog sudjelovanja u oblikovanju djela. Umjetnički i znanstveni doprinos moguće je promatrati zasebno, ali i interdisciplinarno, budući da se interdisciplinarnim metodološkim postupcima i metodama analizira kreativni utjecaj i doprinos izvođača, u konkretnom slučaju dirigenta kao nositelja reprodukcijskih i interpretacijskih ideja u oblikovanju glazbene izvedbe.Doctoral thesis entitled Cultural Indentity and Creativity in Musical Performance - the Borders Between Reproduction and Interpretation consists of two parts. The first part includes an introspective artistic research work on the preparation of a new multi-part composition for a choir ensemble from the conceptual initiative, development and organization of the project idea to artistic performance from the position of an ensemble conductor. The second part refers to the scientific, theoretical and empirical elaboration of creative research processes present in the performance in order to question the concept of creativity and identity in the performing arts and determine the elements of performing (conducting) creative participation in the work's formation. Artistic and scientific contribution can be observed separately, but also interdisciplinary, since interdisciplinary methodological procedures and methods analyze the creative influence and contribution of performers, in this case conductors as bearers of reproductive and interpretive ideas, in shaping the musical performance

    U ovom radu ispitana je mogućnost primjene tri lignocelulozna materijala koji su nusproizvodi prehrambene industrije: ljuska bundeve, ljuska kakaovog zrna i ljuska suncokreta. Prije procesa adsorpcije uzorci navedenih lignoceluloznih materijala pripremljeni su i obrađeni procesom mljevenja, klasiranja te kemijske modifikacije u cilju povećanja broja aktivnih mjesta vezanja za uklanjanje nitrata iz modelnih i realnih uzoraka otpadnih voda konditorske i mesne industrije. Analiziran je utjecaj vremena, pH vrijednosti, početne koncentracije nitrata, početne koncentracije adsorbensa, te temperature. Eksperimentalni podatci dobiveni primjenom šaržnih adsorpcijskih eksperimenata analizirani su primjenom ravnotežnih adsorpcijskih modela (Langmuir, Freundlich i Dubinin- Radushkevich). Za istraživanje adsorpcijskog mehanizma primjenjeni su model pseudo-prvog reda, model pseudo-drugog reda i model unutarčestične difuzije. Morfološka karakterizacija kemijski modificiranih i nitratima zasićenih ispitivanih adsorbenasa provedena je pretražnim elektronskim mikroskopom (FE SEM), dok je utjecaj odlaganja iskorištenih zasićenih adsorbenasa na okoliš, odnosno njihova akutna i kronična toksičnost ispitana ekotoksikološkim testom pomoću planktonskog račića Daphnia magna. Modificirane ljuske bundeve, modificirane ljuske kakaovca i modificirane ljuske suncokreta pokazale su vrlo dobra svojstva te bi mogle biti konkurentni uz već poznate i postojeće „low-cost“ adsorbense kao potencijalni adsorbensi za uklanjanje nitrata iz voda i otpadnih voda.In this thesis the possibility of applying three lignocellulosic materials that are by - products of the food industry was examined: pumpkin peel, cocoa bean shell and sunflower shell. Prior to the adsorption process, samples of these lignocellulosic materials were prepared and processed by grinding, grading and chemical modification in order to increase the number of binding sites for the removal of nitrates from model and real wastewater samples of confectionery and meat industry. The influence of time, pH value, initial nitrate concentration, initial adsorbent concentration, and temperature was analyzed. Experimental data obtained using batch adsorption experiments were analyzed using equilibrium adsorption models (Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich). A pseudo-first-order model, a pseudo-second-order model, and an intraparticle diffusion model were applied to investigate the adsorption mechanism. Morphologic characterization of chemically modified and nitrate-saturated tested adsorbents was performed by scanning electron microscopy (FE SEM), while the impact of disposal of used saturated adsorbents on the environment, i.e. their acute and chronic toxicity was examined by ecotoxicological test. Modified pumpkin seed shells, modified cocoa tree shells and modified sunflower seed shells showed very good properties and could be competitive with already known and existing "low-cost" adsorbents as potential adsorbents for nitrate removal from water and wastewater

    Tema ove disertacije jest informacijsko ratovanje kao dio hibridnog rata između Ruske Federacije i Republike Ukrajine. Rad proučava dvije godine od početka sukoba 2014. godine, s fokusom na elemente informacijskog rata prisutne pretežno u medijskim objavama. Problematizira kontekst nastanka informacijskih poremećaja i ulogu medija i novih medijskih narativa. Naglasak rada stavljen je na djelovanje fact-checkera, organizacija za provjeru činjenica koje su se pojavile kao svojevrsni medijski korektiv u utvrđivanju istine u medijskom i informacijskom ekosustavu. Primjer jedne takve organizacije je ukrajinski StopFake, koji je u literaturi nazvan zlatnim standardom provjere činjenica. Metodom analize sadržaja, rad mjeri prisutnost elemenata informacijskog ratovanja u (mahom) medijskim izvještajima (mahom) ruskih medija. Na uzorku od dvije pune godine, analiziraju se objave StopFakea koje imaju oznaku dekonstrukcije lažnih vijesti i dezinformacija. Mjeri se način dokazivanja da su prvotne informacije lažne, izvor originalnih izjava, vrsta medija čije se informacije opovrgavaju, izvori koji su korišteni u objavama i drugi elementi. Istraživanje pokazuje kako se elementi informacijskog ratovanja, na što su upućivali i brojni teorijski izvori, mogu prepoznati i kvantificirati u analiziranim člancima.The topic of this dissertation is information warfare as part of the hybrid war between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Ukraine. The paper studies two years since the beginning of the conflict in 2014, with a focus on the elements of the information war present predominantly in media announcements. It problematizes the context of the emergence of information disorders and the role of the media and new media narratives. The emphasis of the paper is on the operation of fact-checking services that have appeared as a media corrective in determining the truth in the media and informational ecosystem. An example of such a service is the Ukrainian StopFake, which has been called the gold standard of fact-checking in the literature. Using the method of content analysis, the paper measures the presence of elements of information warfare in (mostly) media reports of (mostly) Russian media. Over a sample of two full years, StopFake posts labeled as fake news are analyzed. The method of proving that the initial information is false, the source of the original statements, the type of media whose information is refuted, the sources used in the announcements, and other elements are measured. The research shows how the elements of information warfare, as referred to by numerous theoretical sources, can be recognized and quantified in the analyzed articles

    Problematika opstojnosti hrvatskog zdravstvenog sustava je, zbog sve većeg broja odlazaka hrvatskih zdravstvenih stručnjaka, iz godine u godinu sve veća i ozbiljnija. Naime, egzodus liječnika, ali i svih ostalih zdravstvenih djelatnika, sve je veći od ulaska Republike Hrvatske u Europsku Uniju. Na koji način upravljanje ljudskim resursima utječe na odlazak liječnika iz Republike Hrvatske? Koji su uzroci nezadovoljstva liječnika u hrvatskom zdravstvenom sustavu? Koji su najvažniji razlozi migracija hrvatskih liječnika? Detektiranje problema s kojima se liječnici svakodnevno susreću, kao i podatak koliko njih razmišlja o odlasku i što bi ih eventualno moglo zadržati u Republici Hrvatskoj, može uvelike doprinijeti stvaranju hodograma za buduće korake uz kvalitetno organizirano upravljanje ljudskim resursima u zdravstvu. Ovakvim sveobuhvatnim istraživanjem dat će se uvid u stvarnu situaciju i stvarne probleme, a moguće utjecati i na izradu alata pogodnih za uspješno rješavanje detektiranih problema te pronalazak kvalitetne strategije za zadržavanje liječničkih kadrova u domicilnom zdravstvenom sustavu. Cilj i svrha ovog rada bili su analizirati i sistematizirati teorije migracija te stvoriti konceptualni okvir za bolje razumijevanje razloga migracija, zatim istražiti percepcije hrvatskih liječnika o razlozima migracija i zadovoljstvu na radnom mjestu, kao i formulirati znanstveno utemeljenu podlogu za formiranje budućih strategija upravljanja ljudskim resursima u zdravstvu. Empirijski dio rada proveden je putem metode ankete za koju je kao instrument prikupljanja podataka bio kreiran upitnik. Kao korektivna metoda poslužila je metoda dubinskih intervjua.The problem of the survival of the Croatian health system due to the increasing number of departures of Croatian health professionals is getting bigger and more serious every year. Namely, the exodus of doctors, but also of all other healthcare professionals, has been increasing since the Republic of Croatia's entry into the European Union. How does human resource management affect the departure of doctors from the Republic of Croatia? What are the causes of dissatisfaction among doctors in the Croatian healthcare system? What are the most important reasons for the migration of Croatian doctors? Detecting the problems that doctors face on a daily basis, as well as information on how many of them are thinking about leaving and what could possibly keep them in the Republic of Croatia, can greatly contribute to the creation of a roadmap for future steps with well-organized management of human resources in healthcare. This kind of comprehensive research will give an insight into the real situation and real problems, and it is also possible to influence the creation of tools suitable for successfully solving the detected problems and finding a quality strategy for retaining medical personnel in the domicile health system. The aim and purpose of this work were to analyze and systematize theories of migration and create a conceptual framework for a better understanding of the reasons for migration, then to investigate the perceptions of Croatian doctors about the reasons for migration and satisfaction at the workplace, as well as to formulate a scientifically based basis for the formation of future human resource management strategies in healthcare. The empirical part of the work was conducted using the survey method, for which a questionnaire was created as a data collection instrument. The method of in-depth interviews served as a corrective method

    THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENT IN THE ELECTRIC ENERGY SECTOR OF CROATIA AS THE MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

    Javne nabave najvažniji su instrument javnog sektora kojim se provode investicijski projekti, osobito u elektroenergetske infrastrukturne objekte. Elektroenergetski sektor iznimno je važan sektor u gospodarstvu jer on omogućava dostupnost električne energije svim potrošačima u traženim količinama i adekvatnoj kvaliteti. Električna je energija kao pokretač ušla u gotovo svako područje ljudskog života i upravo je zbog toga potražnja za njom postala iznimno velika. Javna nabava koju provode javni elektroenergetski subjekti ima izravne utjecaje na financijska kretanja u državi jer upravo to područje regulira prisutnost javnih financija na tržištu. Institucije EU i RH razvijale su pravnu regulativu u području javne nabave kako bi se sustav razvijao u pozitivnom smislu s ciljem novih investicija i poduzetničkog djelovanja. Na sustav javne nabave iznimno značajan utjecaj ima pravna regulativa kao i pravosudni sustav koji kontrolira postupke. S obzirom na velike utjecaje javne nabave, ponajviše na tržište roba, radova i usluga, ali i na cijelo društvo, provedeno je istraživanje o ekonomskim utjecajima javne nabave u javnom elektroenergetskom sektoru RH. Za istraživanje su upotrijebljeni javno objavljeni dokumenti u sustavu javne nabave kao i iskustva stručnjaka. Cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je utvrditi korelacije između provođenja postupaka javne nabave u javnom elektroenergetskom sektoru regulirane u skladu sa pravnom regulativom EU i RH i kvalitete (pouzdanosti) javnog elektroenergetskog sustava, istražiti model odabira kriterija za odabir ponude, utjecaj kvalitativnih kriterija odabira ponude na kvalitetu roba, radova i usluga te ukupni odnos prema nekim ekonomskim pokazateljima u gospodarstvu kao posljedicu utjecaja sustava javne nabave. Analizom prikupljenih podataka tijekom istraživanja zaključeno je da je transparentna i efikasna provedba javne nabave ključna za investiranje u infrastrukturne projekte što utječe na kretanje BDP-a, malo i srednje poduzetništvo, likvidnost i sl. Sustav javne nabave bitno utječe na opću likvidnost gospodarstva i skraćivanje rokova plaćanja što omogućuje veću stopu obrta kapitala. Investicije u elektroenergetskom sektoru omogućavaju sigurnost opskrbe potrošača, pouzdanost elektroenergetskog sustava, bolju kvalitetu električne energije i manje cijene električne energije.Public procurement is the most important instrument of the public sector through which investment projects are implemented, especially in electricity infrastructure facilities. The electricity sector is an extremely important sector in business because it enables electricity to always be available to all consumers in the required quantities and of adequate quality. Electricity as a driver has entered almost every area of human life and which is why its demand has become extremely high. Public procurement carried out by public electricity entities has a direct impact on financial developments in the country because this area regulates the presence of public finances on the market. The EU and Croatian institutions have developed legal regulations in the field of public procurement in order to develop the system in a positive way with the aim of new investments and entrepreneurial activity. The public procurement system is significantly influenced by legal regulations as well as the judicial system that controls procedures. Given the large impacts of public procurement, mostly on the market of goods, works and services, but also on the whole society, a survey was conducted on the economic impacts of public procurement in the public electricity sector of the Republic of Croatia.
