Speciesism : Human Relationship Towards Animals
No full textOvaj diplomski rad prikazuje raširenost specizma, ljudske diskriminacije životinja, kao i povijesne aspekte njegova nastanka i daljnjeg razvoja. Specistička pretpostavka ljudske superiornosti nad ne-ljudskim bićima dovela je do eksploatacije životinja u razne svrhe, poput prehrane, zabave, testiranja na životinjama, uzgoja radi krzna i drugog. Zagovornici zaštite i prava životinja zalažu se za proširenje temeljnih prava izvan ljudske sfere, na ne-ljudske životinje. Eksploatacija životinja, osim bespotrebnog i okrutnog nanošenja patnje i boli živim,
osjećajnim bićima, ostavlja dalekosežne posljedice na onečišćenje okoliša i svijeta u kojem živimo. Ovakva praksa iskorištavanja životinja nepravedna je i moralno neodrživa, pogotovo u današnjem vremenu u kojima je dostupan niz alternativa koje zamjenjuju specističku eksploataciju.This graduate thesis presents the spread of speciesism, human discrimination towards animals, as well as the historical aspects of its occurrence and further development.
The speciesist premise of human superiority over non-human beings has led to exploitation of animals for various purposes, such as food, entertainment, testing on animals, breeding for fur and the like. Animal protection and rights advocates advocate extending of fundamental rights outside the human sphere, to non-human beings. Exploitation of animals, besides the unnecessary and cruel cause of suffering and the pain of living, emotional beings, leaves far-reaching consequences on environmental pollution and the world we live in. This practice of exploiting animals is unjust and morally unsustainable, especially nowadays where a number of alternatives which replace the speciesist exploitation are available
Dinamo - to smo mi! : antropološki ogledi o Dinamu i njegovim navijačima
No full textDjelo Dinamo – to smo mi! Antropološki ogledi o Dinamu i njegovim navijačima je, sukladno naslovu, antropološka studija o nogometnom klubu Dinamo iz Zagreba i njegovim navijačima, ali, s obzirom na kontekst koji daje, također i studija o hrvatskom društvu i sportu te njihovim transformacijama od 1950-ih do danas, s posebnim naglaskom na razdoblje nakon 1990. godine. Polazeći od spora koji Dinamovi navijači imaju s klubom, autor razmatra različita pitanja antropologije sporta, poput onih fundamentalnih kao što su razlozi za popularnost sporta i ljudsko uživanje u njegovu prakticiranju, do partikularnih, čega primjer mogu biti studije slučaja koje razmatraju specifične oblike udruživanja Dinamovih navijača. Središnje je pitanje, što je vidljivo po broju posvećenih poglavlja, za autora ono društvene moći i kontrole, odnosno otpora, koji institucionalnom ugrožavanju vlastite skupine i kulture pružaju navijači Dinama, u ovom djelu tretirani kao marginalizirana društvena i supkulturna skupina
Title: Sources of occupational stress, coping strategies and job satisfaction among elementary and high school teachers
No full textSažetak: Zadovoljstvo poslom nastavnika je važna i kompleksna tema o kojoj treba voditi računa prilikom uvođenja promjena u nastavnom programu te metodama rada sa učenicima. Prethodna istraživanja definirala su određene situacije u radu koje nastavnici percipiraju visoko stresnima, a razne teorije govore o strategijama suočavanja koje pojedinci koriste kako bi se obranili ili zaštitili od negativnih emocija vezanih uz doživljaj stresa. Ovo je istraživanje imalo za cilj ispitati povezanost izvora stresa te strategija suočavanja sa stresom (suočavanje usmjereno na problem, suočavanje usmjereno na emocije te izbjegavanje) sa zadovoljstvom poslom. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 158 učitelja i nastavnika osnovnih i srednjih škola diljem Hrvatske. Rezultati su pokazali da su izvori stresa Neprimjereno ponašanje učenika, Radno opterećenje i Nedostatak profesionalnog priznanja statistički značajno negativno povezani sa zadovoljstvom poslom. Statistički značajna pozitivna korelacija sa zadovoljstvom poslom dobivena je za strategije Suočavanje usmjereno na problem te Izbjegavanje, dok je značajna negativna povezanost sa zadovoljstvom poslom uočena za strategiju Suočavanje usmjereno na emocije. Dodatno, hijerarhijskom regresijskom analizom ustanovilo se da svi navedeni prediktori objašnjavaju ukupno 22.1% varijance zadovoljstva poslom, odnosno, da Nedostatak profesionalnog priznanja ima visok samostalni doprinos u tom objašnjenju (β=-.34; p<.01). Ovo istraživanje je dodatno ukazalo na nedostatak situacijski specifičnih testova te je otvorilo pitanje o potencijalnim prediktorima koji mogu doprinijeti objašnjenju konstrukta zadovoljstvo poslom.Abstract: Teachers job satisfaction is an important and complex issue to be taken into account when introducing change in the curriculum and methods of working with students. Previous research showed that some certain sources and situations in the work teachers perceive highly stressful, and there are various psychological theories about coping strategies that individuals use to protect or defend themselves from negative feelings that can lead to stress. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between sources of teachers stress and the stress-coping strategy (problem-solving coping, emotioncentered coping, and avoidance) with job satisfaction, or, more precisely, how much sources of stress and coping strategy as predictors contribute to the variance of job satisfaction. The study included results on self-evalution from 158 primary and secondary school teachers in Croatia. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between all sources of teacher stress and job satisfaction (inadequate student behavior, workload, lack of professional recognition). A significant positive correlation was found between job satisfaction and two coping strategies (problem-solving and avoidance strategies), while a significant negative correlation with job satisfaction was observed for one other coping strategy (emotion-oriented coping). In addition, the hierarchical regression analysis found that all of these predictors explain a total of 22.1% of job satisfaction variance, whereas Lack of professional recognition has high independent influence in the variance (β=-.34; p<.01). This research pointed out the lack of situational specific tests and opened up a questions about what other predictors could contribute to explaining the concept of job satisfaction
Teachers' perception of academic dishonesty in gymnasiums and vocational schools
No full textCilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati neke aspekte nastavničke percepcije akademskog nepoštenja i stavova prema varanju u srednjoj školi. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 215 nastavnika iz 12 srednjih škola u Zagrebu i okolici. Primijenjeni instrumenti uključuju Skalu varanja, Skalu razloga varanja, Skalu interakcije nastavnik-učenik i pojedinačne čestice koje se odnose na etički kodeks i stavove o čimbenicima koji doprinose lakšem nošenju s akademskim nepoštenjem. Rezultati pokazuju da nastavnici strukovnih škola percipiraju varanje na testu češćim nego nastavnici gimnazija. Nastavnička percepcija akademskog nepoštenja nije se razlikovala s obzirom na postojanje i čestinu komuniciranja etičkog kodeksa. Stavovi nastavnika gimnazija i strukovnih škola prema varanju se statistički značajno ne razlikuju, pri čemu su nastavnici skloni objasniti varanje razlozima povezanima s ocjenama. Ignoriranje varanja u razredu pozitivno je povezano s čestinom varanja na testu i čestinom težih oblika varanja, dok su visoka očekivanja od učenika negativno povezana s čestinom varanja na testu. Nastavnici ističu kako bi im u nošenju s učeničkim varanjem pomogli promjena društvenih vrijednosti, promjene u školstvu, veća odgovornost roditelja i učenika, dosljednost nastavnika, strože i dosljednije sankcije, promjena fizičkih uvjeta u radnoj okolini te kontrola korištenja mobitela u učionicama.The aim of this study was to examine some aspects of the teachers' perception of academic dishonesty and attitudes toward cheating in high school. The participants were 215 teachers from 12 high schools in Zagreb and the surrounding area. The participants completed The Cheating Scale, The Reasons For Cheating Scale, The Scale Of Teacher-Student Interaction and items related to the ethical code and attitudes about factors contributing to easier coping with academic dishonesty. The results show that vocational school teachers perceive cheating on tests more frequent than gymnasium teachers. The teachers' perception of academic dishonesty did not differ with regard to the existence and communication of the ethical code. Differences in attitudes between gymnasium and vocational school teachers are not statistically significant, with teachers from both groups more inclined to explain cheating by the reasons associated with grades. Ignoring cheating in the classroom is positively associated with both forms of academic dishonesty, while high expectations from students are negatively associated with cheating on the test. Teachers point out that changing social values, changes in schooling, greater responsibility of parents and students, teachers' consistency, stricter and more consistent sanctions, changing physical conditions in the work environment and control of the cell phone use in the classrooms would help them cope with academic dishonesty
The use of web 2.0 tools in the acquisition of grammatical structures in English as a foreign language
No full textU nastavi stranoga jezika među najčešće primjere integracije gramatike i suradničkog pisanja
pomoću tehnologija 2.0 spada uporaba wikija. Mnoga istraživanja pokazuju da u procesu
suradničkog pisanja u wikiju sudionici svjesno komuniciraju o jeziku, no primjene wikija u
kojima jezične strukture predstavljaju temu pisanja mnogo se rjeđe navode u literaturi.
U ovom doktorskom radu analizira se uloga tehnologija 2.0 u poučavanju gramatike
unutar konstruktivističke paradigme. Istraživanje je provedeno u dvjema fazama, kao
predistraživanje i glavno (kvazieksperimentalno) istraživanje među studentima
preddiplomskog kolegija engleskog jezika informatičke struke u dvije uzastopne akademske
godine. U eksperimentalnoj grupi primijenjeni su wiki sustav i nekoliko drugih asinkronih alata
2.0 za multimodalan opis gramatičkih tema. U kontrolnoj grupi e-aktivnosti provedene su uz
uporabu standardnih tehnologija (procesora teksta i sustava za e-učenje).
Ciljevi glavnog istraživanja bili su: (1) utvrditi učinak primjene alata 2.0 u suradničkim
e-aktivnostima na ovladavanje zadanim gramatičkim strukturama; (2) ispitati percepciju
hibridnog kolegija i suradničkih gramatičkih e-aktivnosti; (3) provjeriti postoji li povezanost
između izlazne gramatičke kompetencije i nekoliko nejezičnih čimbenika. Za prikupljanje
podataka korištene su kvantitativne metode (gramatički test i anketni upitnik).
Rezultati ukazuju da u smislu ovladanosti gramatičkim strukturama po završetku
tretmana nije ostvaren statistički značajan pozitivniji učinak u eksperimentalnoj grupi.
Međutim, u procjeni nekih dimenzija e-aktivnosti pronađene su statistički značajne razlike u
korist uporabe alata 2.0 kod eksperimentalne grupe, dok ni za jedan od aspekata procjene
hibridnog kolegija nisu dobivene statistički značajne razlike između dvije grupe.
U eksperimentalnoj grupi također je ispitana povezanost izlazne gramatičke
kompetencije, informatičke pismenosti ispitanika, njihovih individualnih karakteristika te
situacijskih čimbenika nastave. Izravno povezanima s gramatičkim znanjem pokazale su se
samo (1) percepcija samoefikasnosti te (2) napor u radu s računalima (negativna korelacija),
dok su među nejezičnim varijablama utvrđene višestruke i statistički značajne veze.
Može se zaključiti da rezultati ovog empirijskog istraživanja upućuju na umjeren
potencijal primjene alata 2.0 pri poučavanju gramatike putem suradničkog pisanja u hibridnoj
nastavi u odnosu na uporabu standardnih tehnologija, kao i na važnost osobina učenika i
situacijskih čimbenika koji, izravno ili neizravno, djeluju na proces učenja.The advent of the Web 2.0 concept and e-learning 2.0 paradigm over a decade ago coincided
with a heightened interest in constructivist, learner-oriented pedagogies in foreign language
instruction. Within the sociocultural theoretical framework, second language acquisition is seen
as arising from the interaction of an individual with his/her social and cultural context, with the
notion of learning as an individual and social process in which meaning arises from and is
mediated by language, physical artefacts and technological tools.
In the domain of web 2.0 technologies, integration of writing and grammar is most
frequently associated with wikis as a collaborative writing tools used for projects that are
typically focused on the development of conceptual knowledge in FL instruction. Numerous
studies provide evidence for the fact that during collaborative writing in a wiki students
participate in negotiation of meaning and form, which also implies explicit communication
about grammar. However, there are relatively few examples of applications of wikis in literature
in which students are primarily involved in describing linguistic structures as the topic of their
collaborative work. Consequently, the evidence on the effectiveness of such an approach to
grammar is scarce.
The research in this thesis addresses this research gap by analysing factors that may
influence the successfulness of using web 2.0 tools in online teaching of EFL grammar in terms
of contributing to the development of linguistic (i.e. grammatical) competence and enhancing
learning experience. In the context of e-learning 2.0 and constructivism, students in a tertiary
hybrid English for Specific Purposes course were engaged in out-of-class grammar e-tivities.
In addition to the class wiki used to support the co-construction and publishing of the written
output (i.e. textual description of grammatical structures on wiki pages), several other
asynchronous web 2.0 tools were used for visualisation and graphic knowledge organization in
artefacts that supplemented the textual description.
The research in this dissertation was conducted in two stages, i.e. preliminary study and
main study, in two subsequent academic years, within the same undergraduate EFL course. The
goals of the preliminary research were to; (1) determine the applicability of web 2.0 tools in the
implementation of grammar e-tivities by investigating the respondents’ perception of using
such tools in grammar instruction, as well as their assessment of various aspects of the hybrid
EFL course; (2) validate the instrument – survey questionnaire – that would be used in the main
study. In order to examine the effects of the usage of web 2.0 tools, in the main study the
quasiexperimental research design was employed. Unlike the experimental group, in which the
acquisition of target structures was aided by web 2.0 technologies, respondents in the control
group were only able to use conventional tools and systems (MS Word and Moodle LMS) to
perform collaborative grammar e-tivities. The main study was aimed at: (1) establishing the
effect of implementing web 2.0 tools in collaborative e-tivities on the acquisition of target
grammatical structures that the respondents were involved with while performing the tasks (i.e.
describing grammar topics in the wiki); (2) examine the respondents’ perception of the hybrid
EFL course and the conducted e-tivities in which constructivist principles were combined with
the use of web 2.0 tools, and grammar instruction was integrated with collaborative writing; (3)
exploring the correlation between the acquired knowledge of grammatical structures (measured
by the retest upon the completion of the experiment) and other variables (several learner
variables including individual differences and computer literacy as well as situational
variables).
In addition to the survey questionnaire, the data in the main research were collected by
means of grammar tests (pre-test, retest and post-test) to assess the level of respondents’
knowledge of the target structures. The target morphosyntactic structures had been selected on
the basis of the diagnostic test before the experiment and included: reported speech; conditional
sentences; causative have; participle clauses; subjunctive and structures for expressing unreal
past. The questionnaire, which was administered shortly after the completion of the experiment
in both groups of respondents, was used to measure various psychological variables (individual
differences, perception of the hybrid EFL course and the conducted e-tivities), computer
literacy and the perception of situational variables related to e-tivies implementation.
The results indicate that, in terms of the level of acquisition of target grammatical
structures, no statistically significant positive effect of using web 2.0 tools was found in the
experimental group in comparison to the control group in which grammar e-tivities were
performed by using conventional technological tools. In terms of e-tivities perception,
statistically significant differences in favour of the use of web 2.0 technologies were
established for two out of three dimensions of e-tivities perception: interaction among
participants and e-tivies methodology/implementation. With regards to respondents’ evaluation
of the hybrid course at the end of the instruction cycle, no statistically significant differences
were established between two groups of respondents, although in both groups all the three
aspects of the EFL course (i.e. satisfaction with the course; course interestingness and
usefulness; achieved learning outcomes) obtained fairly positive ratings. In the experimental group, which used a wiki and other web 2.0 tools in e-tivities,
correlation between the grammatical competence (defined as the level of acquisition of the
target structures resulting from the performance of collaborative grammar e-tivities by means
of web 2.0 tools) and individual differences, computer literacy, and situational factors was also
examined. In the correlation analysis the only two statistically significant interrelationships that
were found were those between grammatical competence (expressed as retest score) and
perception of self-efficacy and effort in using the computer (negative correlation), respectively.
However, multiple statistically significant correlations were identified among the non-linguistic
variables (for, example, between motivation and other variables).
It can be concluded that the results of the empirical research in this dissertation indicate
moderate potential benefits of the use of web 2.0 tools (in particular, wikis and several other
asynchronous web 2.0 tools for content visualization) in grammar instruction based on
collaborative learning in a hybrid course. On the other hand, some issues related to their
implementation highlight the challenges of constructivist pedagogies in grammar instruction,
Finally, the findings of the research provide evidence for the importance of considering
individual differences as factors which, along with the pedagogical approach, task type, and
tools supporting the instruction, may determine the process of learning
Frinihova Ekloga kao komentar leksičkih promjena u grčkom jeziku
No full textU ovome se radu na temelju literature i korpusa proučavaju i opisuju uputstva za leksik iz djela
Ῥηµάτων καὶ ὀνοµάτων Ἀττικῶν (Eclogae nominum et verborum Atticorum) gramatičara i aticista
Friniha. Proučavamo djelo u kontekstu vremena i stanja u državi te objašnjavamo pokret atticism
kao odgovor na stanje jezika.
Uspoređujemo leksik grčkog i novogrčkog jezika. Zaključuje se da jezik ima tendenciju sačuvati
baš one oblike koje gramatičar ne preferira ili oba oblika, a i na par mjesta se čuvaju oblici koje
gramatičar preferira.In this paper, the literature and the corpus study and describe the instructions for the lexicon from
the works of Ῥηµάτων καὶ ὀνοµάτων Ἀττικῶν (Eclogae nomum et verborum Atticorum)
grammarian and atticist Phrynicus. We study the work in the context of time and state in the state
and explain the movement atticism in response to the state of language.
We compare the readings of Greek and Modern Greek languages. It is concluded that language
tends to preserve forms the grammar does not prefer or both forms, and few of them are the ones
that the grammar prefers
Traditional architecture of the Srijem area – protection and preservation in contemporary context
No full textU radu se predstavlja tradicijska arhitektura Srijema, najistočnije hrvatske regije, na primjeru ukupno pet naselja: Ilok, Bapska, Šarengrad, Mohovo i Tovarnik. Kroz pregled razvoja naselja te oblika stambene arhitekture i gospodarskih zgrada ustanovljuju se tradicijske značajke arhitekture ovog područja. Suvremeno stanje prikazano je kroz izvještaj s terena te ukazivanjem na izmjene i odstupanja od tradicijskih karakteristika koje se događaju uslijed društvenih i gospodarskih promjena. Raspravlja se o problematici velikog broja napuštenih kuća, prilagodbi tradicijske arhitekture modernim standardima stanovanja te njene prenamijene u turističke svrhe kroz konkretan primjer ugostiteljskog objekta. Cilj diplomskog rada bio je potaknuti svijest o važnosti zaštite ovog dijela kulturne baštine i afirmacija Srijema kao regije na rubu znanstvenih zanimanja.This thesis presents the traditional architecture of Srijem, the region of east Croatia, on the example of villages Bapska, Šarengrad, Mohovo, Tovarnik and the city of Ilok. The traditional features of the architecture of this area are shown through the survey of the development of settlements and of the forms of residential and other buildings. The current situation is presented through a field report and by pointing to changes and deviations from the traditional characteristics that occur due to social and economic changes. The issue of a large number of abandoned houses, the adaptation of traditional architecture to modern standards of living and its transformation into tourism purposes are discussed. The aim of this thesis was to raise awareness of the importance of protecting this part of the cultural heritage and affirming Srijem area as a region in scientific researches
Multikulturalnost u hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama
No full textOvaj rad govori o multikulturalnosti kao ideji kulturnog pluralizma te politici održavanja različitosti i jednakosti nacionalnih kultura unutar zajednice. Multikulturalne usluge u Hrvatskoj pojavile su se 1990-ih, a do danas u Hrvatskoj žive 22 nacionalne manjine. Multikulturalnost i interkulturalnost iziskuju društvenu raspravu i razvoj multikulutalrnih knjižnica te uključuju pružanje jednake pozornosti usmjerene na različite kulturne potrebe grupa u zajednici. U vrijeme masovnih migracija i građanske mobilnosti fokus svake knjižnice postaje integracija. Multikulturalni dijalog između kultura, kulturnog nasljeđa, ljudskih prava, prava na pristup informacijama i znanju, kulturna i jezična različitost, potiče knjižnice na razvoj programa i usluga za kulturne i nacionalne manjine uz podršku i u suradnji s državnim i lokalnim institucijama.This paper is about multiculturalism as an idea of cultural pluralism but also policy of maintaining diversity and equaty to ethnic cultures in a community. Multicultural services in Croatia had their appirience in 1990´s and to this day Croatia is a home for 22 national minorities. Multiculturalism and interculturalism seek for social discussion and development of multicultural libraries. It includes the same attention to cultural needs of all groups in a community. In the time of mass migrations and population mobility a need for integration is in focus in every library. Multicultural dialogue between cultures, cultural heritage, human rights, the right of access to information and knowledge, cultural and linguistic diversity, encourages libraries to develope programs and services to cultural and ethnic minorities with a support and in a collaboration with state and local institution

U istraživačkom dijelu rada pruža se dokumentirani prikaz djela fotografa Rudolfa Firšta i prikazuje dokumentirana pažljiva potraga. Na samom kraju u raspravi se iznose nejasnoće Direktive koje se tiču fotografija i argumentira zašto Direktiva nije zaživjela i ispunila svoju svrhu.The theme of this master thesis is the implementation of the Directive on certain permitted uses of orphan works in Croatia. The theoretical part of the paper describes the position of the library in relation to the challenge of extensive digitalization projects and the problems that it brings. Then, key concepts for understanding the work are defined from the existing Law on copyright and related rights, and these are the author and the author's work and represent the most important articles. In the next chapter, orphan works are presented, estimates of their volume and the development of the legislative framework. Next, the context of the adoption of the Directive in the European Union is being discussed and presented and analyzed by its most important articles. The next chapter presents a diligent search as a legal instrument designed by the Directive. In the research part of the work provides the documented display works of photographer Rudolf Firšt and displays documented diligent search.. At the very end in the discussion are presented some ambiguity of the Directive concerning the photographs and argues why the Directive did not live and fulfilled its purpose
Presentation and Analysis of FRBR Group 1 Entities in RDA
No full textBibliografski entiteti, atributi koji opisuju te entitete i odnosi kojima se pojedini entiteti mogu povezati temelj su konceptualnog modela bibliografskog univerzuma izrađenog u sklopu IFLA-ine studije FRBR. Kataložni pravilnik RDA funkcionira kao implementacija tog IFLA-inog modela. Glavni fokus ovog rada bili su entiteti prve skupine FRBR-a – djelo, izraz, pojavni oblik i jedinica građe – odnosno usporedba definicija i uporabe tih entiteta, kao i njihovih atributa i odnosa, u modelu FRBR-a te u pravilniku RDA. Problematika bibliografskih entiteta prvo je prikazana u širem teorijskom kontekstu bibliografske organizacije, nakon čega su pobliže predstavljeni pojedini entiteti prve skupine FRBR-a te neki od značajnijih problema koji se vežu uz način na koji model pristupa tim entitetima. Konačno, u radu su navedene sličnosti i razlike između načina na koji FRBR i RDA opisuju i pristupaju entitetima prve skupine, njihovim atributima i odnosima te problemima koji se vežu uz te entitete.Bibliographic entities, the attributes used to describe those entities, and the relationships used to connect one entity to another form the basis of the conceptual model of the bibliographic universe developed as part of IFLA’s FRBR. The cataloguing standard known as RDA functions as an implementation of IFLA’s model. This paper primarily focused on FRBR’s Group 1 entities – work, expression, manifestation, and item – or, more precisely, on the comparison of the ways in which those entities, as well as their attributes and relationships, are defined and used in FRBR and RDA. The topic of bibliographic entities was first placed in a wider theoretical context of bibliographic organization, which was followed by a more detailed presentation of Group 1 entities and some of the more prominent issues relating to the model’s approach to those entities. Finally, the paper highlighted some of the similarities and differences between FRBR’s and RDA’s description of and general approach to Group 1 entities, their attributes, and relationships, as well as some of the issues relating to those entities
