Pet praktičnih primjena iskrenosti s Bogom u kršćanskom životu
Get PDFJedna od urođenih težnji ljudskih bića nakon pada u grijeh je želja da bježe od svojeg Stvoritelja i nose maske, krijući se iza raznih vrsta privida (kao što su lažna religija, „dobra“ djela i/ili dobre namjere). Unatoč ovomu, ili možda upravo zato, Bog je u svojoj sveznajućoj mudrosti odredio da iskrenost i ideja transparentnog življenja u svjetlu njegove Riječi iscijeli i popravi narušen odnos s njim. Ovo znači da mi, kao ljudska bića, moramo biti potpuno otvoreni u prvom redu s Jahvom, ali i sa sobom, priznajući i ne ignorirajući svoje pogreške. Drugim riječima, iskrenost s Bogom predstavlja odricanje od svih pokušaja da opravdamo, umanjimo ili čak zaniječemo ozbiljnost svojega grijeha (drugačije rečeno, odricanje od svih maski i privida ljudske „dobrote“) kako nam ne bi samo bilo oprošteno, nego kako bismo bili očišćeni, iscijeljeni i obnovljeni (barem djelomično, do dana „dovršenosti“). Dakle, na temelju biblijske premise da je transparentnost najbolji štit protiv obmane i samoobmane, u ovom članku razmatramo pet praktičnih primjena koje se navike potpune transparentnosti sa sobom – ali, još važnije, s Bogom – razvijaju u našem kršćanskom hodu vjere
David Murray. RESET: Živjeti tempom milosti u kulturi koja nas tjera da izgorimo
Get PDFDavid Murray, iako piše potaknut vlastitim iskustvom pa mu je ton stoga osoban, progovara o temi iz koje sve snažnije dopire vapaj za protutežom. Kritika se može uputiti zbog preslabog naglaska ne važnosti križa, uskrsnuća te uloge zajedništva svetih u procesu obnove. Ipak, kroz prikazane „zone popravka“ autor želi čitatelju ponuditi praktičnost, suosjećajnost, nadu i radost. Nakon posljednjeg poglavlja čitatelj će moći uočiti da je sve to prisutno i ispunjeno. Upravo zbog velike potrebe, ali i zbog navedenih obilježja, knjiga Reset preporučuje se svim kršćanima koji svoje pripadanje Crkvi i lokalnoj zajednici uzimaju ozbiljno, uključujući i ozbiljan angažman kroz služenje. Ona je namijenjena i svim službenicima, i onima koji su u punovremenoj službi i onima koji služe u nepunom radnom vremenu, a napose onima kojima je povjerena služba vodstva, u kojem god obliku i kapacitetu

U članku ćemo najprije predstaviti teoretske temelje formativnog praćenja, a zatim prikazati primjere uključivanja u sate dodatne stručne pomoći
The role of palliative care in a dignified end of life
Get PDFPalijativna skrb predstavlja aktivan, sveobuhvatan pristup osobama s uznapredovalom i neizlječivom bolešću usmjeren na poboljšanje kvalitete života i omogućavanje dostojanstvenog završetka života. Ona ne znači odustajanje od liječenja, nego pružanje cjelovite podrške: ublažavanje simptoma, razumljivu i suosjećajnu komunikaciju te sveobuhvatnu podršku bolesniku i njegovoj obitelji kroz tjelesnu, psihološku, socijalnu i duhovnu dimenziju. Povijesno utemeljena u hospicijskom pokretu, palijativna skrb razvila se u medicinsku disciplinu. Njezin etički ideal opisan pojmom „dobre smrti“ podrazumijeva miran i dostojanstven završetak života u skladu s vrijednostima i željama bolesnika. Kao takva, palijativna skrb predstavlja izraz humanosti i suosjećanja u suočavanju s neizbježnom stvarnošću smrti.Palliative care represents an active and comprehensive approach to patients with advanced and incurable illness, focused on improving quality of life and ensuring a dignified end of life. It does not imply giving up on treatment, but rather providing holistic support through symptom relief, clear and compassionate communication, and offering comprehensive support to the patient and their family through physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Historically rooted in the hospice movement, palliative care has developed into a medical discipline. Its ethical ideal, described by the concept of a "good death", implies a peaceful and dignified end of life in accordance with the values and wishes of the patient. As such, palliative care remains a fundamental expression of humanity and compassion in the face of the inevitable reality of death
Between Adoration and Iconoclasm – On the Cult Role of Images
No full textU ovome se radu autor bavi problematikom poimanja slike u kršćanstvu te njezinoj važnosti u liturgiji i pobožnosti. Kršćanstvo je od svojih početaka bilo religija koja je prihvaćala ulogu i važnost slike u prenošenju radosne vijesti. Brojne se slike i ilustracije već od početaka Crkve mogu pronaći u prostorima koji su bili prilagođeni za održavanje liturgije. Odnos prema slikama u kasnijim se razdobljima mijenjao te je nerijetko uz teološke imao i političke konotacije. Najžešći je sukob nastupio u 8. stoljeću kada je strah od slika doživio svoj vrhunac. U srednjem vijeku slike su također bile važna sastavnica liturgijskih slavlja, a novi je val ikonoklastičkih tendencija nastupio s reformacijom. U ovome će se članku analizirati odnos povjesničara umjetnosti Hansa Beltinga prema kultnoj ulozi slike u srednjem vijeku i njezinu značenju za vjernike. S druge strane pokazat će se na koji su način crkveni oci nastojali teološkim argumentima sačuvati vjerodostojnost slika i obraniti ih od vrlo snažnih ikonoklastičkih napada, ali ih i sačuvati od pretjeranoga vjerničkoga obožavanja.In the paper, the author addresses the issue of understanding the image in Christianity and its impor-tance in liturgy and piety. From its beginnings, Christianity has been a religion that accepted the role and significance of images in the transmission of the Good News. Numerous images and illustrations can be found in spaces designated for liturgy since the beginning of the Church. In later periods, attitudes toward images changed and often had political connotations in addition to theological ones. The most intense conflict occurred in the 8th century, when the fear of images reached its peak. In the Middle Ages, images were also essential to liturgical celebrations, and the Reformation brought a new wave of iconoclastic tendencies. This article will analyze the attitude of art historian Hans Belting towards the cult role of the image in the Middle Ages and its importance for the faithful. On the other hand, it will demonstrate how Church Fathers employed theological arguments to preserve the credibility of images and defend them against powerful iconoclastic attacks, while protecting them from excessive religious veneration
Behavioral Approach to Security Risk Management: Empirical Research Results
No full textSvrha: U kontekstu rastućeg interesa za integraciju psiholoških i socijalnih dimenzija u upravljanje rizicima, cilj rada je analizirati međuodnos između bihevioralnih čimbenika i prihvaćenosti norme ISO 31000:2018.
Metodologija: Teorijski okvir temelji se na teoriji planiranog ponašanja (TPB), uzimajući u obzir utjecaj stavova, subjektivnih normi i percipirane kontrole ponašanja na sigurnosno orijentirano ponašanje zaposlenika. Empirijsko istraživanje provedeno je na uzorku od 125 ispitanika, a analizirani su vanjski čimbenici (pritisak nadređenih, radna okolina) i unutarnji čimbenici (sigurnosna osviještenost, percipirana učinkovitost i izloženost rizicima) u odnosu na prihvaćenost norme.
Rezultati: Istraživanje pokazuje statistički značajnu pozitivnu povezanost između utjecaja radne okoline i prihvaćenosti norme, dok je u slučaju pritiska nadređenih utvrđena negativna povezanost, što upućuje na otpor zaposlenika prema autoritarnom pristupu. Nalazi dodatno potvrđuju važnost sigurnosne kulture i pozitivne organizacijske klime u poticanju usklađenosti sa sigurnosnim normama.
Praktične implikacije: Dobiveni rezultati pružaju empirijsku osnovu za redefiniranje organizacijskih strategija upravljanja rizicima kroz integraciju bihevioralnih uvida u institucionalne okvire, s ciljem povećanja učinkovitosti i održivosti sustava sigurnosnog upravljanja.
Originalnost/vrijednost: Rad doprinosi literaturi empirijskim dokazima o ulozi bihevioralnih čimbenika u procesu prihvaćanja norme ISO 31000:2018, naglašavajući potrebu uključivanja psiholoških aspekata u razvoj organizacijske sigurnosne kulture i suvremenih praksi upravljanja rizicima.Purpose: In the context of the growing interest in integrating psychological and social dimensions of risk management, the aim of this article is to analyze the correlation between behavioral factors and the acceptance of the ISO 31000:2018 standard.
Design/Methodology: The theoretical framework is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), taking into account the influence of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on employees’ safety-oriented behavior. The empirical research was conducted on a sample of 125 respondents, examining external factors (pressure of superiors, work environment) and internal factors (security awareness, perceived effectiveness, and risk exposure) in relation to the acceptance of the standard. Findings: The results indicate a statistically significant positive correlation between the influence of the work environment and the acceptance of the standard, whereas pressure of superiors demonstrated a negative correlation, suggesting employees’ resistance to an authoritarian approach. The findings further confirm the importance of security culture and a positive organizational climate in promoting compliance with security standards.
Practical implications: The obtained results provide an empirical basis for redefining organizational risk management strategies through the integration of behavioral insights into institutional frameworks, with the aim of enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of security management systems.
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the role of behavioral factors in the process of adopting the ISO 31000:2018 standard, emphasizing the need to incorporate behavioral aspects into the development of organizational security culture and contemporary security risk management practices
Comparative analysis of health care financing in Croatia in relation to the EU member states
No full textCilj ovog rada je analizirati financiranje hrvatskog zdravstvenog sustava u usporedbi s prosjekom Europske unije. Glavni odabrani indikatori korišteni za analizu su ukupni izdaci za zdravstvo, izdaci po glavi stanovnika i izdaci izraženi kao postotak od BDP-a. Analiza je provedena na temelju podataka Eurostata za 27 država članica Europske unije u razdoblju od 2015. do 2022. godine uz primjenu deskriptivne statističke metode, komparativne analize, analize varijance (ANOVA), Tukey HSD post-hoc testa, korelacijske analize te analize složene godišnje stope rasta (CAGR). Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da se Hrvatska nalazi ispod prosjeka EU prema svim ključnim indikatorima. Ukupni izdaci i izdaci po glavi stanovnika u Hrvatskoj znatno su niži od europskog prosjeka, kao i udio izdataka za zdravstvo u BDP-u. ANOVA analiza potvrdila je postojanje statistički značajnih razlika među skupinama država, pri čemu je Hrvatska svrstana u skupinu zemalja s nižim izdvajanjima odnosno izdacima za zdravstvo. Iako Hrvatska bilježi brži rast zdravstvene potrošnje od prosjeka EU, polazi s niže baze izdvajanja, što održava jaz u odnosu na razvijenije zemlje članice. Rezultati naglašavaju potrebu za reformama usmjerenima na povećanje učinkovitosti i održivosti zdravstvenog financiranja u Hrvatskoj.The aim of this paper is to examine the financing of the Croatian healthcare system in comparison with the European Union average. The main indicators selected for analysis are total healthcare expenditure, per capita expenditure, and expenditure expressed as a share of GDP. The analysis is based on Eurostat data for the 27 EU member states covering the period from 2015 to 2022, and applies descriptive statistical methods, comparative analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Tukey HSD post-hoc test, correlation analysis, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) analysis.
The findings indicate that Croatia falls below the EU average across all key indicators. Both total expenditure and per capita expenditure are considerably lower than the European average, as is the proportion of healthcare spending in GDP. The ANOVA results confirmed statistically significant differences between groups of countries, with Croatia classified among those with lower levels of healthcare expenditure. Although Croatia has recorded faster growth in healthcare spending than the EU average, it starts from a lower base, thereby maintaining the gap with more developed member states.
The results highlight the need for reforms aimed at improving the efficiency and sustainability of healthcare financing in Croatia
Transferring Marketing Experiences from the Military Sector into the Public Sector: A Conceptual Framework
No full textThis article proposes a strategic communication model for the public sector, drawing inspiration from military marketing experiences, including segmentation, storytelling, and adaptive feedback loops. The background of the study lies in the growing need for civic legitimacy in fragmented trust environments, where traditional public messaging struggles to maintain credibility. The aim is to explore how emotionally resonant narratives and psychographic segmentation, which have been proven effective in defence and security communication, can enhance public engagement and resilience to disinformation. The research draws on secondary data from defence communication campaigns, including policy reports, social media analytics, and recent public campaigns. Methodologically, the article integrates simulated metrics with insights from defence-based messaging strategies such as the U.S. Army’s “What is Your Warrior?” and the UK’s “Snowflake Generation”. These cases are used to illustrate the model’s applicability. Findings suggest that strategic messaging, supported by real-time analytics, increases the perceived relevance and trustworthiness. Simulated scenarios involving vaccine awareness and environmental campaigns show how narrative alignment fosters stronger engagement, particularly among younger audiences. The model is conceptual and normative but offers a scalable framework for empirical testing. It emphasises ethical constraints, transparency, and accountability as prerequisites for legitimate strategic communication in complex democratic settings

Eraldo Candido Gvido Marchi – Erald Marki
No full textU članku se nastoji osvijetliti hvarsko podrijetlo inž. Eralda Markija (Marchi) kroz dostupne matične knjige (rođenih, umrlih, vjenčanih i stanje duša). Također, koliko je god bilo moguće, kroz dostupne novinske članke i rijetku stručnu literaturu prati se njegov životni put i rad u Splitu te njegova povezanost s meteorologijom, izgradnjom Meteorološkog opservatorija Marjan te njegovi stručni i popularni radovi.Erald Marki was born in Hvar on August 14, 1876, with the full name Eraldo Candido Gvido Marchi, to his mother Margarita (née Novak) and father Andrea Marchi. The Marchi family was ever-present in Hvar throughout the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, primarily because its members were well-known entrepreneurs and designers-contractors (builders) of numerous houses in Hvar. It has not yet been determined when or which generation of the Marchi family settled in Split. It is also unclear exactly when he began using the phonetically adapted name and surname—Erald Marki—but it was certainly before the autumn of 1924, as he published his treatise Climatic Conditions of Dalmatia under the signature Prof. Eng. E. Marki. However, this was after 1920, when he was still referred to as Marchi during the founding of the Split Olympic Subcommittee. He completed elementary school and the Great Realka grammar school in Split, and later, in 1901, graduated from the Technical University in Graz. From 1912, he was a regular member of the Austrian Meteorological Society, and in Split, he was involved in numerous civic associations, such as the Mosor Hiking Society (HPD Mosor), the Labud Sailing Club (Y.c. Labud), and the Split Olympic Subcommittee. He was the director of the Split Auto Club (Auto Club Spalato), secretary of the Society of Engineers and Architects in the Kingdom of Dalmatia, and more. He was the conceptual originator of the idea and construction of the Marjan Meteorological Observatory in Split, where he served as its first director for five years, from its opening in 1926 until 1930. He was the author of numerous popular lectures, articles, short pieces, and scientific papers. Among meteorologists, his works remain relevant today, particularly Climatic Conditions of Dalmatia (1924), Meteorological Service on the Adriatic (1927), and Weather – A Practical Guide to Understanding and Predicting Weather Without Instruments (1955). He lived and worked in Split, but today’s Split has forgotten him, while in his native Hvar, he remains completely unknown. Did he deserve this
