Transgressing proved patterns: knowledge creation, management and dissemination in the realm of AI
No full textWhere does the whole hype about artificial intelligence (AI) come from? Is it the first time? Do we really have a true, general AI? If not, how soon shall we have it? How much will technology change everyday tasks, complete job descriptions, entire professions? Does it apply to scientific publishing and how? What do scientists really need in publishing, what can be done by AI and what is the job for a human
PATTERN of Open Science in Croatia
No full textThe PATTERN project, officially known as "Piloting open and responsible Activities and Trainings Towards the Enhancement of Researchers Networks," is a comprehensive initiative funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme. Its primary focus is to advance open and responsible research and innovation (Open RRI) across Europe through training for researchers to enhance their capacity for effectively addressing societal challenges while promoting transparency and inclusivity in research. The project spans 42 months and involves a total of 19 organisations and institutions from 13 European countries, including the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Croatia, contributing to the development and implementation of training programs tailored for researchers at allcareer stages.PATTERN\u27s training modules cover a diverse range of topics vital to open RRI, including open access, FAIR data management, citizen science, research integrity, gender equality, non-discrimination, inclusion in research, dissemination and exploitation of results, science communication, and management and leadership skills. By addressing these crucial aspects, the PATTERN project aims to equip researchers with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in today\u27s dynamic research landscape. The project’s implementation began by systematic mapping and comprehensive analysis of contemporary educational opportunities for researchers on Open RRI, after which comes the development of innovative curricula, with an emphasis on inclusivity and fairness in the modules.Implementation and testing are integral components of PATTERN\u27s strategy. The project intends to test its training modules through a variety of tailored activities conducted by nine core partners and five associated institutions, which will act as pilot institutions across Europe. PATTERN\u27s expansive network includes Croatia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Turkey. This network, encompassing OpenAIRE members and National Open Access Desks (NOADs), ensures a broad and diverse reach for the project\u27s training curricula.Crucially, PATTERN will establish a digital platform, where all training materials will be openly accessible, providing a solution for hosting and disseminating freely available training modules. This platform will not only facilitate knowledge sharing but also mobilise and moderate the research and innovation community. It will serve as a valuable resource for relevant bodies and institutions responsible for educating researchers, disseminating project results, and promoting OS practices in multiple languages. Based on the accumulated knowledge and insights, a series of policy recommendations will be designed and developed, targeting European Union bodies, national entities, higher education stakeholders, and research institutions, ultimately promoting open and responsible research practices at a systemic level.There is an ongoing demand for training and promotion of open science (OS) topics in Croatia among researchers, with a notable deficiency in formal OS education within Croatian higher education institutions. To bridge this gap and promote OS practices effectively, PATTERN leverages a wealth of expertise accumulated through EU projects that have laid the groundwork for comprehensive training programs designed to enhance researchers\u27 competencies. The PATTERN project represents a pioneering effort to advance open and responsible research and innovation practices in Europe. With active participation from institutions such as the Ruđer Bošković Institute, PATTERN aspires to empower researchers and institutions alike. By developing comprehensive training modules, creating a collaborative platform, and providing policy guidance, PATTERN is poised to contribute significantly to the advancement of science and society in the European Research Area
Social responsibility in academic communication
No full textModern electronic publishing enables faster and easier access to information and scientific publications. Unfortunately, misleading publishing practices have adapted and become harder to identify. It is not only the publication in these journals and publishers that is questionable but also the citation of these sources. We find that such unverified and unreviewed scientific publications can negatively impact the society as a whole.Regrettably, even at the University of Maribor, we are seeing an increase in the use and adoption of such sources. As a result, the University of Maribor Library has compiled a private list of predatory publishers according to our own criteria, we provide further education, create LibGuides, and maintain a public list of open access sources. We also offer advice on checking journals, publishers, and conferences. This includes both students, who should be cautious in the selection and use of sources, as well as lecturers and researchers, who should be careful not just in the selection and use of sources but also in the selection of reputable journals for publication.The very process of submitting the final student theses to the institutional repository includes content similarity detection. Content similarity detection is also available to any University of Maribor researcher who wants to double-check their article before publication. Our practices of raising awareness about unverifiable sources will be presented in more detail on the poster
Egzempl o ožurniku i sinu u paklu (Tubach 5027): iz Oxfordskog zbornika (Ms. Can. lit. 414)
No full textThis paper deals with the exempla about the usuer and son in hell (Tubach 5027) that is kept in the Croatian Glagolitic Oxford Miscellany (Ms. Can. lit. 414), in the four Glagolitic quaresimale manuscripts (Kolunić’s, Greblo’s, HAZU IIIa19, Quaresimale from Oport) and in the sermon collection Besjede written by Bosnian friar Matija Divković. Oxford Miscellay that is written in the area between Modruš and Senj in the 15th century, contains the shortest Croatian version of the above mentioned exemplum. In the paper the comparison between all three version of the exempla that appear in different contexts (in the manuscript miscellany, inthe sermones de tempore collection and in the sermones quaresimales collection) is conducted. Transliteration of the exemplum is here published for the first time.U tekstu se obrađuje egzempl o ožurniku i sinu u paklu (Tubach1 5027) koji je sačuvan u Oxfordskom zborniku (Ms. Can. lit. 414), u četiri prijepisa glagoljskoga Korizmenjaka (Kolunićevu, Greblovu, rukopisu HAZU-a IIIa19 i kvarezimalu iz Oporta) te u Besjedama fra Matije Divkovića. U Oxfordskom zborniku koji je u 15. stoljeću nastao na području između Modruša i Senja zapisana je najkraća hrvatska inačica toga egzempla koja se u ovom radu objavljuje prvi put. Provedena je usporedba triju hrvatskih verzija egzempla koje se pojavljuju u različitim kontekstima: unutar zbornika raznolikog štiva, unutar zbirke sermones de tempore te zbirke sermones quaresimales

Arheologija lovinačkog prostora
No full textThis article presents existing knowledge about the archaeological heritage of the Lovinac area from prehistoric times to the end of the Middle Ages and beginning of the New Era. As with the entire area of Lika, the cultural heritage has been exposed to continuous devastation and secondary use throughout its turbulent history. Although the research carried out thus far is not large-scale, it undoubtedly provides insight into an archaeological picture – from prehistoric Iapodian hillforts sites of the late Bronze Age and Iron Age, remnants of a vicinal Roman road or sporadic sepulchral Roman findings to the almost undetectable remains of architecture of medieval forts in Lovinac, Vranik, Sv. Rok, Ričica, Raduč and several toponyms that lead us to previously unlocated and undetermined localities.U radu se iznose dosadašnje spoznaje o arheološkoj baštini lovinačkog prostora od prapovijesti do kraja srednjeg vijeka i početka novovjekovlja. Kao i cjelokupno područje Like, kulturno naslijeđe je tijekom burne i hirovite povijesti bilo izloženo kontinuiranoj devastaciji i sekundarnoj uporabi. Premda dosad provedena istraživanja nisu velikog obima, nedvojbeno omogućuju uvid u arheološku sliku – od prapovijesnih japodskih gradinskih lokaliteta kasnog brončanog i starijeg željeznog doba, ostataka vicinalne rimske ceste ili sporadičnih sepulkralnih rimskih nalaza do gotovo nezamjetnih ostataka arhitekture srednjovjekovnih utvrda Lovinca, Vranika, Sv. Roka, Ričica, Raduča do, tek brojnih toponima koji nas usmjeravaju ka dosad neubiciranim i nedeterminiranim lokalitetima. 
Mobilne aplikacije i phygital koncept u sektoru maloprodaje u funkciji obogaćivanja kupovnog iskustva i razvoja CRM-a
No full textThis paper examines the issue of promotion in distribution chains and the current situation when it comes to the use of promotional tools in the distribution channel, as well as their combination, in the context of a multi-channel marketing strategy, as well as in enriching the user experience and CRM. The authors start from the thesis that new promotional tools, especially their use in the digital space, are less represented in retail chains compared to their use in the marketing of industrial manufacturers. The paper presents the conceptual framework related to the above-mentioned problem, and at the same time emphasizes the meaning of the optimal combination of online and offline promotional channels, which is of exceptional importance in the current era of the so-called phygital marketing. The paper focuses on mobile applications as a modern digital promotion channel, as well as their design, content and usage model on the examples of two shopping centers – Lidl and Kaufland, with a comparative analysis. Furthermore, the results of the primary research conducted on the segment of the consumer generation of young people are presented, which tried to find out their attitudes and opinions about the mentioned applications. In the last part of the paper, the author gives a critical review of the results, concluding remarks and guidelines for further research. The scientific contribution of the paper consists in the conceptualization of the use of mobile applications according to the model of Yadav & Pavlou (2020), who place the digitization of business at the center of marketing and business activities, and who in their model view promotional tools as the starting point for the development of long-term relationships with clients, primarily in the relations: company – client and client – company. The practical implications of the paper are reflected in the contribution to knowledge relevant to making strategic marketing decisions in trading companies and in the supply channel in general. The limitation of the research is the focus on the youth segment in the primary research, so for further research it is recommended to expand the analysis to other consumer segments, as well as to further develop the conceptualization of the scientific theory of marketing in the field of promotion and digitalization in the consumer goods trade sector.U ovom radu problematizira se pitanje promocije u distributivnim lancima i aktualno stanje kada je riječ o korištenju promotivnih alata u distribucijskom kanalu, kao i o njihovoj kombinaciji, u kontekstu višekanalne marketinške strategije, ali i obogaćivanja korisničkog iskustva i CRM-a. Autorice polaze od teze da su novi promotivni alati, posebice njihovo korištenje u digitalnom prostoru, slabije zastupljeni u trgovačkim lancima u odnosu na njihovu upotrebu u marketingu industrijskih proizvođača. U radu se daje prikaz konceptualnog okvira vezanog uz navedenu problematiku te se naglašava značenje optimalne kombinacije online i offline promotivnih kanala, što je od iznimne važnosti u aktualnoj eri tzv. phygital marketinga. U radu se u fokus razmatranja postavljaju mobilne aplikacije kao suvremeni digitalni kanal promocije, te njihov dizajn, sadržaj i model korištenja na primjerima dvaju trgovačkih centara – Lidl i Kaufland, s komparativnom analizom. Nadalje se prikazuju rezultati primarnog istraživanja provedenog na segmentu potrošačke generacije mladih, kojime se pokušalo saznati njihove stavove i mišljenja o navedenim aplikacijama. U posljednjem dijelu rada daje se kritički osvrt autorica na rezultate, zaključni stavovi i smjernice za daljnja istraživanja. Znanstveni doprinos rada sastoji se u konceptualizaciji upotrebe mobilnih aplikacija prema modelu Yadav & Pavlou (2020) koji digitalizaciju poslovanja stavljaju u središte marketinških i poslovnih aktivnosti te koji u svojem modelu promotivne alate promatraju kao ishodište razvoja dugoročnih odnosa prvenstveno na relacijama: poduzeće – klijent i klijent – poduzeće. Praktične implikacije rada ogledaju se u doprinosu spoznajama relevantnima za donošenje strateških marketinških odluka u trgovačkim poduzećima i u kanalu opskrbe općenito. Ograničenje istraživanja je u fokusu na segment mladih u primarnom istraživanju pa se za daljnja istraživanja preporučuje proširenje analiza i na druge segmente potrošača, ali i daljnji razvoj konceptualizacije znanstvene teorije marketinga u području promocije i digitalizacije u sektoru trgovine robe široke potrošnje.
Učitelji u inkluziji
No full textIn the educational sense inclusion is defined as active inclusion of pupils with disabilities in the regular teaching process (Subotić, 2014). In this context, teachers represent the most important bond between students and the school as an institution, therefore they are considered as one of the key factors in adapting children with disabilities to attend the school program (Rajović and Jovanović, 2010). The aim of this work was to examine how teachers from Zadar perceive the inclusion of children with disabilities, how they perceive their own competences for this form of work and what obstacles they encounter. For this purpose, 5 semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers from Zadar (Primary school Stanovi), after which the collected data were transcribed and analyzed. It was determined that teachers see inclusion as an educational practice that promotes tolerance and cooperative behavior, that they evaluate it as a professional challenge, but at the same time emphasize the need for professional training and the acquisition of additional competences. Moreover, teachers emphasized the importance of cooperation with assistants, professional associates, and parents in order to inclusion to be successful, while they recognized insufficient support from the school system (material and financial resources) as a significant barrier in the quality of work performance.U obrazovnom smislu inkluzija se definira kao aktivno uključivanje učenika s teškoćama u redovni nastavni proces (Subotić, 2014). U tom kontekstu učitelji predstavljaju najvažniju sponu između učenika i škole kao institucije, stoga se upravo oni smatraju jednim od ključnih faktora prilagodbe učenika s teškoćama na pohađanje školskog programa (Rajović i Jovanović, 2010). Cilj ovog rada ispitati je kako učitelji iz Zadra percipiraju inkluziju djece s teškoćama, kako procjenjuju vlastite kompetencije za taj oblik rada te s kojim se preprekama susreću. U tu svrhu provedeno je pet polustrukturiranih intervjua s učiteljima iz Zadra (OŠ Stanovi), nakon čega su prikupljeni podatci transkribirani i analizirani. Utvrđeno je da učitelji vide inkluziju kao obrazovnu praksu koja promiče toleranciju i suradničko ponašanje, procjenjuju je profesionalnim izazovom, ali ujedno i naglašavaju potrebu za profesionalnim usavršavanjem i stjecanjem dodatnih kompetencija. Dodatno, učitelji su istaknuli važnost suradnje s asistentima, stručnim suradnicima i roditeljima kako bi inkluzija bila uspješna, dok su nedovoljnu podršku školskog sustava (materijalne i financijske resurse) prepoznali kao značajnu prepreku u kvalitetnom radu

Article processing charges of health professions category journals in SCOPUS
No full textIntroduction and aim: Scientific journals are a key communication channel for the transmission of scientific information, and the publication of articles is mandatory in scientific advancements. Open access publishing enables greater visibility of scientific outputs but publication in open access is rarely free (Van Norden, 2013; Pourret 2022). The aim of this research is to examine the article processing charges (APCs) of journals in the Health professions category within the SCOPUS database, along with their respective business models (hybrid, OA or diamond OA).Methods: We collected data on journals using Scimago, DOAJ and Sherpa Romeo databases, as well as the homepages of journals and publishers. Using the SCImago Journal & Country Rank data for the year 2022, we filtered journals belonging to the field and category of "Health Professions (miscellaneous)". Data were gathered on the number of journals in Scopus, the type of journal (hybrid, open access, diamond journal) and the cost for publishing (APC) an original scientific article/review article in open access. Information about the type of the journal was collected in Sherpa Romeo/DOAJ databases, information on the APCs was found on the pages of the journal or publisher.Results: A total of 60 journals belonging to the category of Health professions in Scopus were identified, with 28 (47%) of them also in the Web of Science database according to Scimago. Of these 60 journals, 28 are hybrid journals, 32 are in open access (53%), including 10 in open access with an APC, and 22 completely free - diamond journals. The publication cost in all journals is in the range from €0 to €3,385.00, with an average median price of €788 (ranging from €0 to €2,895). The average APC is significantly lower in open access journals than in hybrid journals (median €881, ranging from €92 to €2466, versus €2895, ranging from €2045 to €2977), which is in line with previously published results in the medical field (Siler et al, 2018). Most of the diamond journals are in the 3rd (6 out of 22) and 4th quartiles (9 out of 22) or have only recently (3 out of 22) been included in the Scopus database.Limitations of the study: The study sample is small, and has only 60 journals, while there could be more journals connected with health professions in other Scopus categories. Information about waivers was not collected.Conclusion: Journals of the 1st and 2nd quartile, which are considered an important criterion for advancement in the biomedical field, are mostly hybrid journals and the APCs are very high. Consequently, the conclusion emerges that health professions do not have a large selection of journals for publishing in open access, and therefore it is necessary to educate authors to self-archive their articles
