From Construction to Renovation: History and Key Elements for the Reconstruction of the State Archives Building in Karlovac
No full textRad se bavi poviješću i obnovom zgrade Državnog arhiva u Karlovcu, prve namjenski građene arhivske zgrade u Hrvatskoj. Dugo godina zgrada je bila uzor u domaćoj arhivskoj praksi, no s vremenom uslijed neadekvatnog održavanja kao i novih standarda u arhivskoj, ali i građevinskoj struci, zgradi je potrebna sveobuhvatna obnova. Proces cjelovite obnove promatra se iz interdisciplinarne perspektive budući da se obnova ne može svesti samo na građevinske intervencije, nego zahtijevaširu viziju koja omogućuje rast i razvoj u skladu s promjenama u društvu, tehnologiji, znanstvenim i stručnim standardima. U radu se uspoređuju postojeći uvjeti i standardi s onima koji se planiraju postići nakon obnove, uz detaljan opis metoda i kriterija koji se primjenjuju pri izradi projektnih rješenja.This paper presents the historical significance and contemporary restoration of the State Archives building in Karlovac, the first purpose-built archival facility in Croatia. For many years, the building served as a model within national archival practice. However, due to inadequate maintenance and the emergence of new standards in both archival profession and construction, the building now requires a comprehensive restoration. The aim of the paper is to analyse this process from an interdisciplinary perspective, highlighting the interconnected roles of archival, architectural, and construction professions in defining both requirementsand solutions. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the archival profession in articulating priorities: from establishing optimal conditions for the preservationand protection of archival records, through improving working conditions for staff, to creating spaces that meet the institution’s future needs. The paper compares existing conditions and standards with those intended to be achieved after the restoration, offering a detailed description of the methods and criteria applied in the development of project solutions. In doing so, it demonstrates that restoration cannot be regarded merely as a construction intervention, but rather as a complex process encompassing organisational, functional, and societal dimensions. Furthermore, the paper considers the broader role of archives. Beyond the professional and technical aspects of the restoration, it emphasises the importance of opening the archives to the public, which means facilitating access to records, encouraging their use for scientific, educational, andcultural purposes, and enabling the institution to showcase its activities. In this way, the archive building is transformed from a mere storage facility into a dynamic space that supports growth, development, and adaptation to changes in society, technology and academic standards. In conclusion, the paper argues that the restoration of the State Archives in Karlovac serves as an example of how an interdisciplinary approach can successfully align technical efficiency with the demands of contemporary archival practice, while also ensuring the institution’s long-term sustainability and relevance
Archaeological Research within and around Zagreb Cathedral
No full textDosadašnji arheološki podaci o položaju na kojem je smještena zagrebačka katedrala i općenito o području Kaptola izuzetno su oskudni, a zbog opsegom vrlo ograničenih istraživanja, njihove rezultate često je teško ili nemoguće interpretirati. Sveobuhvatna istraživanja unutar katedrale mogla bi rezultirati definiranjem kompletnog tlocrta „predtatarske katedrale“, odnosno crkve čiji su temelji djelomično istraženi s vanjske strane južnog zida starijeg dijela katedrale. Unutar katedrale također treba očekivati i ostatke temelja zidova Timotejeve katedrale, čime bi se konačno definirao njezin originalni tlocrt i utvrdio odnos sa starijom građevinom kojoj pripadaju temelji masivnih kontrafora u južnom zidu.Archaeological research conducted in 1956, though limited in scope, allowed the identification of elements of an older structure. The foundations of buttresses were identified in probes along the northern wall of the Chapel of St Stephen and in those placed along the southern wall of Timotheus' Cathedral.
Archaeological monitoring was carried out in 1971 (in the sacristy) and in 1981 during excavations for the installation of central heating in the cathedral. Remnants of masonry structures were discovered that can be categorized, on the basis of their material and construction methods, into three types: foundations built with cut stone, foundations built with broken limestone and lime mortar, and remnants of plastered and painted walls.
While the remains of the buttresses found in the northern wall of the Chapel of St Stephen and in the foundations of the southern wall of Timotheus' Cathedral can likely be associated with an older, probably early Gothic structure – commonly referred to as the ‘pre-Tatar cathedral’ – the masonry structures discovered within the cathedral cannot be reliably interpreted at the current stage of research.
At the initiative of the church in Zagreb, the Zagreb City Museum conducted archaeological research north of the cathedral from 2016 to 2018. This research documented a lime kiln from the time of Bollé’s renovation of the cathedral, a 19th-century drainage system, prehistoric structures, and remnants of stone sculptures.
During the work to repair damage caused by the earthquake that struck Zagreb on 22 March 2020, staff from the Zagreb City Museum conducted several site inspections.
The text also references all archaeological research or monitoring conducted during excavations near the cathedral, in the broader area of Zagreb’s Kaptol, shedding light on how the area was used during various historical periods
Using automated paraphrasing tools: Examining the grammatical structure of generated paraphrases of scientific abstracts
No full textThe proliferation of automated paraphrasing tools (APTs) raises questions about how generated paraphrases differ from the original texts. In this study, 50 abstracts published in Nature were compared with paraphrases generated by QuillBot, Jasper, and Copilot. Tactic and logico-semantic relations were analyzed using a modified version of the Hallidayan clause-complexing framework. The findings revealed that the APT that most closely matched Nature was QuillBot; no significant differences were found in any of the categories. Collectively, Jasper and Copilot leaned toward clausal complexity, using fewer paratactic extensions and more hypotactic elaborations. This study highlights general features of generated paraphrases that are not commonly addressed in the literature. Explicit paraphrasing instructions are recommended to avert any misuse of APTs
Media Reporting and Interpretive Frames : An Analysis of News Portals on Thompson’s Concert in Zagreb
No full textOvaj rad istražuje način medijskog uokvirivanja (framing) kao procesa strukturiranja i interpretacije javnih događaja, s posebnim naglaskom na izvještavanje o koncertu Marka Perkovića Thompsona održanom 5. srpnja 2025. godine u Zagrebu. Primjenom analize sadržaja, istraživanje obuhvaća analizu triju najčitanijih hrvatskih internetskih portala (Dnevnik.hr, 24sata.hr i Index.hr) u razdoblju od tri dana prije i tri dana nakon događaja. Evaluacijska matrica, između ostalog, uključivala je i detekciju pet okvira prema De Vreese, Peter i Semetko (2001): okvir sukoba, ljudskih interesa, ekonomskih posljedica, moralnosti i odgovornosti. Rezultati pokazuju kako portali primjenjuju različite okvire. Dok Dnevnik.hr i 24sata.hr naglašavaju okvir odgovornosti, Index.hr stavlja veći naglasak na okvir ljudskih interesa. Analiza ukazuje na to da izbor okvira odražava uređivačku politiku portala, te tako doprinosi oblikovanju javne percepcije masovnih kulturnih događaja.This paper explores media framing as a process of structuring and interpreting public events, with a particular emphasis on the reporting of Marko Perković Thompson’s concert held in Zagreb on July 5, 2025. Through the application of content analysis, the study examines articles published on three of the most widely read Croatian online news portals (Dnevnik.hr, 24sata.hr, and Index.hr) over a period of three days before and three days after the event. The evaluation matrix included five generic frames defined by De Vreese, Peter, and Semetko (2001): conflict, human interest, economic consequences, morality, and responsibility. The findings indicate that while all portals reported extensively on the concert, they applied different framing strategies. Dnevnik.hr and 24sata.hr emphasized the responsibility frame, whereas Index.hr focused more strongly on the human-interest frame. These differences reflect distinct editorial policies and highlight how framing contributes to shaping public perceptions of large-scale cultural events
Autorialità femminile nella rivista Varietas (1904–1912): presenza, contributi, ricezione e mediazione culturale
No full textRad analizira prisutnost i objavljivanje književnica u ilustriranom mjesečniku Varietas. Casa e famiglia (1904. – 1912.), reprezentativnom obiteljskom časopisu u Italiji početkom 20. stoljeća. Iako nije bio specijalizirani ženski časopis, Varietas se otvorio suradnji s književnicama i novinarkama, čime je pridonio kulturnoj vidljivosti ženskoga autorstva u javnom prostoru. Na temelju primarnih izvora iz digitalne zbirke Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma i primjeraka pohranjenih u Sveučilišnoj knjižnici u Puli, istraživanje prikazuje različite modalitete ženskoga sudjelovanja: vlastitu književnu produkciju (Ada Negri, Vittoria Aganoor, Grazia Deledda, Virginia Piatti Tango/Agar), novinarsko publicističke i modno-estetske priloge (Anna Franchi, Enrica Grasso, Cesarina Lupati, „Fidelia“) te recepcijske osvrte muških suvremenika (Giannino Antona-Traversi o Neeri; Riccardo Sonzogno o Irmi Gramatica). U radu se donose dvojezični citati (it // hr): izvorni navodi na talijanskom preuzeti su iz samoga časopisa, dok su hrvatski prijevodi autoričini. Takvi citati potvrđuju da su autorice u Varietasu djelovale kao pjesnikinje, pripovjedačice, kritičarke i protagonistice kazališno-književnih rasprava, dok su muški kritičari sukreirali okvir njihove javne valorizacije. Analiza pokazuje da je časopis funkcionirao kao prostor kulturne medijacije u kojem su se ženski glasovi integrirali u širi književno-društveni kontekst ranoga 20. stoljeća.The article examines the presence and publication of women writers in the illustrated monthly Varietas. Casa e famiglia (1904–1912), a representative family periodical in early twentieth-century Italy. Although not a specialised women’s magazine, Varietas opened itself to contributions by women writers and journalists, thereby enhancing the cultural visibility of female authorship in the public sphere. Drawing on primary sources from the digital collection of the National Central Library of Rome and on copies held at the University Library of Pula, the study highlights several forms of women’s participation: literary production (Ada Negri, Vittoria Aganoor, Grazia Deledda, Virginia Piatti Tango Agar), journalistic-publicistic and fashion-aesthetic pieces (Anna Franchi, Enrica Grasso, Cesarina Lupati, Fidelia), as well as contemporaneous male reception (Giannino Antona Traversi on Neera; Riccardo Sonzogno on Irma Gramatica). The article presents bilingual quotations (it // hr): the original Italian passages are taken from the magazine, while the Croatian translations are by the author. These citations demonstrate that the women featured in Varietas act as poets, narrators, critics, and protagonists in theatrical-literary debates, while male critics co-construct the framework of their public valorisation. The analysis shows that the magazine functions as a space of cultural mediation in which female voices are integrated into the broader literary and social context of the early twentieth century.Il saggio analizza la presenza e la pubblicazione di scrittrici nel mensile illustrato Varietas. Casa e famiglia (1904–1912), periodico familiare rappresentativo in Italia all’inizio del XX secolo. Pur non essendo una rivista femminile specializzata, Varietas si apre alla collaborazione di scrittrici e giornaliste, contribuendo alla visibilità culturale dell’autorialità femminile nello spazio pubblico. Sulla base delle fonti primarie della collezione digitale della Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma e degli esemplari conservati presso la Biblioteca Universitaria di Pola, lo studio mette in luce diversi modalità di partecipazione femminile: la produzione letteraria (Ada Negri, Vittoria Aganoor, Grazia Deledda, Virginia Piatti Tango/Agar), i contributi giornalistico-pubblicistici e moda-estetici (Anna Franchi, Enrica Grasso, Cesarina Lupati, Fidelia), nonché i riscontri recezionali dei contemporanei uomini (Giannino Antona-Traversi su Neera; Riccardo Sonzogno su Irma Gramatica). Il lavoro presenta citazioni bilingui (it // hr): i passi originali in italiano sono tratti dalla rivista, mentre le traduzioni croate sono dell’autrice. Tali citazioni attestano che le autrici in Varietas operano come poetesse, narratrici, critiche e protagoniste dei dibattiti teatrali-letterari, mentre i critici uomini co-costruiscono il quadro della loro valorizzazione pubblica. L’analisi mostra che la rivista funziona come spazio di mediazione culturale in cui le voci femminili si integrano nel più ampio contesto letterario e sociale degli inizi del XX secolo
Anketa o primjeni alignera među ortodontima u Hrvatskoj
No full textObjectives: The aim of this cross-sectional survey was to investigate clear aligner therapy (CAT) practices and protocols among orthodontic specialists in the Republic of Croatia. Materials and Methods: The modified version of a previously published questionnaire s was distributed online to 180 orthodontists. It included 46 open- and closed-ended questions across 11 sections, covering demographics, clinical use of CAT, aligner preferences, digital treatment planning (DTP), indications, protocols, interproximal reduction (IPR), refinements, retention, patient-reported issues, and overall perceptions. Respondents not using CAT were directed to a separate section on non-use. Results: The majority of respondents (88%) reported using CAT in clinical practice, although only 10% of their annual cases involved CAT. Adults were more common patient group (57.9%), and the main indication was mild to moderate crowding. Invisalign was the most frequently used aligner system (58.7%), primarily chosen for the quality of digital treatment planning (DTP) and sophistication of product features. Two-thirds of the respondents reported modifying the digital treatment plan, particularly by adjusting the final tooth position. Refinement was performed in 50% of the cases. IPR was included in 80% of the initial treatment plans and only 20% of the refinement phases. Finally, 52.6% of orthodontists considered CAT to be superior to conventional fixed appliance therapy. Conclusions: CAT is widely used by orthodontists in Croatia, primarily for mild cases. Nevertheless, aligners are still not perceived as producing superior outcomes compared with fixed appliances.Svrha: Cilj ovoga presječnog istraživanja bio je ispitati praksu i protokole za primjenu terapije prozirnim ortodontskim alignerima (CAT) među specijalistima ortodoncije u Republici Hrvatskoj. Ispitanici i postupci: Revidirana verzija već objavljenog upitnika distribuirana je putem interneta na adrese 180 ortodonata. Upitnik je sadržavao 46 pitanja otvorenoga i zatvorenoga tipa raspoređenih u 11 cjelina koje su obuhvaćale demografske podatke, kliničku primjenu CAT terapije, preferencije prozirnoga aparatića, digitalno planiranje terapije (DTP), indikacije, protokole, interproksimalnu redukciju (IPR), doradu, retenciju, probleme koje prijavljuju pacijenti te opća stajališta ispitanika. Ispitanici
koji se ne koriste CAT-om bili su preusmjereni na zaseban odjeljak o razlozima neprimjene. Rezultati: Većina ispitanika (88 %) navela je da se koristi CAT-om u kliničkoj praksi, iako samo 10 % njihovih godišnjih slučajeva uključuje CAT. Odrasli pacijenti bili su češća skupina (57,9 %), a glavna indikacija bila je blaga do umjerena zbijenost. Invisalign je bio najkorišteniji sustav alignera (58,7 %), ponajprije zbog kvalitete digitalnoga planiranja terapije (DTP) i sofisticiranosti značajki proizvoda. Dvije trećine ispitanika navele su da mijenjaju digitalni plan terapije, osobito pri prilagođavanju konačnih položaja zuba. Dorada je bila potrebna u 50 % slučajeva. IPR je bio uključen u 80 % početnih planova terapije, a u doradi se primjenjivao u samo 20 % slučajeva. Konačno, 52,6 % ortodonata smatralo je da CAT omogućuje bolje terapijske ishode u usporedbi s konvencionalnim fiksnim napravama. Zaključak: CAT je široko rasprostranjen među ortodontima u Hrvatskoj, uglavnom za liječenje blagih slučajeva. Ipak, aligneri se još uvijek ne percipiraju kao metoda koja daje superiorne rezultate u odnosu prema fiksnim ortodontskim napravama
The role of strategic planning in innovative financing for adaptation regarding climate change: a case study of municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Get PDFThis paper aims to explore key aspects of strategic planning for investment activities to ensure
that municipalities can adequately adapt to climate change. The main research question
investigates the extent to which strategic planning is focused on climate change adaptation
measures. The hypothesis is: Municipalities have planned and developed mechanisms for
financing activities aimed at climate change adaptation. To validate this hypothesis, we used a
methodology that included desk research and a case study of four local government units in
Bosnia and Herzegovina - two from each entity. This paper provides empirical evidence on the
direction that local government units, municipalities should take in adapting to climate change
through strategic planning. The limitations of the research stem from the complexity of the
constitutional structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the differing legislation applied in the two
entities in the area relevant to this study
Contribution to the knowledge of the etymology of the oikonyms Vrbanja and Vrbanjuša (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
No full textRad donosi detaljnu etimologijsku analizu sarajevskih ojkonima Vrbanja i Vrbanjuša, s objašnjenjem izvanjezične stvarnosti u kojoj su nastali, jer je prethodna etimološka analiza bila neprecizna i dovela je do nepotpunih zaključaka o mogućem jezičnom podrijetlu ojkonima i njihovoj starosti. Etimološka i motivacijska analiza ojkonima, kao i istraživanje izvanjezične stvarnosti kao elementa u procesu nastanka toponima, temelje se na osmanlijskim defterima iz razdoblja 1455. – 1604. godine, topografskim kartama i regulacijskim planovima sarajevskog područja objavljenim u razdoblju 1882. – 1949. godine te drugim književnim izvorima. Predložena je etimološka analiza prema kojoj je toponimska osnova ovih ojkonima antroponim Vrban izveden iz latinskog antroponima Urbanus, iz kojeg je, nakon slavenske prilagodbe Urbanus > Vrban, posvojnim sufiksom -j izveden toponim Vrbanja. Ojkonim Vrbanjuša je izveden sufiksom -uša iz ojkonima Vrbanja. Ovakav zaključak se temelji i na izvanjezičnoj stvarnosti, koja se odnosi na kulturnu povijest grada.The paper offers a detailed etymological analysis of the Sarajevo oikonyms
Vrbanja and Vrbanjuša, contextualised within the extra-linguistic reality in
which they emerged. Previous etymological treatments were imprecise and led to
incomplete conclusions regarding the possible linguistic origin and age of these
oikonyms.
The etymological and motivational analysis of the two oikonyms, along with
the examination of extra-linguistic factors relevant to their formation, is based on
Ottoman registers from 1455–1604, topographic maps and regulatory plans of the
Sarajevo area published between 1882 and 1949, as well as other written sources.
The analysis proposes that the toponymic base of both oikonyms is the
anthroponym Vrban, derived from the Latin personal name Urbanus, from
which, after the Slavic adaptation Urbanus > Vrban, the oikonym Vrbanja was
formed with the possessive suffix -j. The oikonym Vrbanjuša was subsequently
derived from Vrbanja using the suffix -uša. This conclusion is supported by
extra-linguistic evidence related to the cultural history of the city
