Prikazi radničke klase u postindustrijskoj škotskoj književnosti
No full textThis diploma paper explores the representation of the working class in post-industrial Scotland through a critical evaluation of four novels: Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting, Douglas Stuart’s Shuggie Bain, Janice Galloway’s The Trick Is to Keep Breathing, and James Kelman’s How Late It Was, How Late. The analysis situates these narratives within the context of postindustrial Scotland. Margaret Thatcher’s premiership has introduced neoliberal policies that have profoundly changed the political and social fabric, ushering in a post-industrial society. Written by Scottish authors with working-class backgrounds, these novels reflect the impact of neoliberal policies on the Scottish working class. To convey the realities of the time, authors use the aesthetic of grittiness, balancing between political activism and literary exploration. Through the close analysis of these novels, this diploma paper reveals prevalent themes of alienation, identity crisis, trauma, gender roles, and disorientation. Scottish labour literature diversifies British working-class narratives by challenging dominant representations and bringing regional experiences to the cultural forefront. Ultimately, the paper underscores the dialectical relationship between labour literature and real life.Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje prikaz radničke klase u postindustrijskoj Škotskoj kroz kritičku analizu četiri romana: Trainspotting Irvinea Welsha, Shuggie Bain Douglasa Stuarta, The Trick Is to Keep Breathing Janice Galloway i How Late It Was, How Late Jamesa Kelmana. Analiza smješta ove romane u kontekst postindustrijske Škotske. Za vrijeme mandata Margaret Thatcher uvedene su neoliberalne politike koje su dubinski promijenile političko i društveno tkivo, uvodeći razdoblje postindustrijskog društva. Pisani od strane škotskih autora koji potječu iz radničke klase, ovi romani zorno prikazuju utjecaj neoliberalizma na škotsku radničku klasu. Kako bi dočarali duh vremena, autori koriste estetiku surovosti, balansirajući između književnosti kao umjetnosti i političkog aktivizma. Kroz detaljnu analizu romana, ovaj diplomski rad otkriva dominantne teme otuđenja, krize identiteta, traume, rodnih uloga i dezorijentacije. Škotska radnička literatura obogaćuje britanske narative o radničkoj klasi osporavajući dominantne prikaze i stavljajući regionalna iskustva u kulturni fokus. Rad naglašava i dijalektični odnos između radničke književnosti i stvarnog život
Preventive program for early detection of cervical cancer
No full textRak vrata maternice jedan je od oblika raka na koji se može utjecati, koji se može spriječiti i koji se može liječiti, ako se otkrije na vrijeme. Upravo je zato važno da se o njemu educiramo, podižemo svijest o cijepljenju, preventivnim pregledima i testiranjima. Sedam stvari koje bi trebali znati o raku vrata maternice i kako ga spriječiti. Infekcija HPV-om glavni je uzročnik raka vrata maternice kod žena Dugotrajna i ne liječena infekcija visokorizičnim tipovima Humanog papiloma virusa (HPV) jedan je od najčešćih uzroka raka vrata maternice. Rak vrata maternice je u 99,7% slučajeva uzrokovan infekcijom HPV-a. Cijepljenje protiv HPV-a, kako žena tako i muškaraca koji ovaj virus mogu prenijeti, uvelike smanjuje mogućnost nastanka raka. U Hrvatskoj svaki treći dan jedna žena umre od raka vrata maternice. “U Hrvatskoj godišnje od raka vrata maternice oboli više od 300 žena, dok ih više od 100 izgubi bitku s ovom bolešću. Cijepljenje protiv HPV-a i redoviti preventivni ginekološki pregledi značajno smanjuju šanse za nastanak ove vrste raka (1).” Rak vrata maternice treći je najčešći rak žena u Hrvatskoj u dobi od 30 do 39 godina, a najveći broj oboljelih žena nalazi se u dobnoj skupini od 35 do 55 godina. Pravovremena prevencija i redoviti pregledi zato su iznimno važno u ovoj dobnoj skupini. Rak vrata maternice jedan je od najpreventabilnijih oblika raka Gotovo svaki slučaj raka vrata maternice može se spriječiti! Ovaj rak je jedan od najpreventabilniji u cijeloj ljudskoj populaciji jer se može rano dijagnosticirati redovitim pregledima, a cijepljenjem protiv HPV virusa mogućnost pojave znatno se smanjuje. “Rak vrata maternice može se spriječiti cijepljenjem protiv HPV-a (1).” Sprječavanjem i smanjenjem rizika za zarazu HPV virusom izravno se utječe na sprječavanje razvoja raka vrata maternice kod žena. Ovo postižemo cijepljenjem djece u ranoj adolescentskoj dobi, i to djevojčica i dječaka. Imunološki odgovor na cjepivo u dobi od 10 do 15 godina puno je bolji nego kod odraslih i u toj je dobi mogućnost zaraze virusom puno manja, pa je i cjepivo učinkovitije. Programi probira i testiranje mogu smanjiti smrtnost bolesti za 80 %. Redoviti preventivni ginekološki pregledi i testiranje Papa testom i testom na HPV, i program probira, odnosno testiranje premaligne promjene dok se rak još nije razvio, načini su na koji se mogu otkriti promjene i prije nego nastane rak ili se rak može dijagnosticirati u ranomstadiju koji se može uspješno liječiti. Kvalitetni, dobro organizirani programi probira 4 pokazali su se vrlo učinkovitima u smanjenju pojavnosti i smrtnosti od raka vrata maternice, te mogu smanjiti smrtnost od ove bolesti za 80 %. Simptomi su nespecifični i rijetki. Još jedan razlog za podizanje svijesti o važnosti preventivnih i redovitih ginekoloških pregleda je činjenica da rak vrata maternice duže vrijeme ne pokazuje simptome u ranim stadijima, kada ga je najbolje liječiti jer je u tom slučaju postotak uspješnosti liječenja puno veći. Rak vrata maternice ozbiljan je zdravstveni problem, ali uz pravilnu edukaciju, preventivne mjere, cijepljenje i redovite ginekološke preglede, žene mogu značajno smanjiti svoj rizik od ove bolesti. Dovoljno je da odlučite da je pojava bolesti film koji nitko neće gledati i uzmete svoje zdravlje u svoje ruke.Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that can be influenced, prevented, and treated if detected early. Regular screenings, such as Pap tests, and HPV vaccinations are crucial in reducing the risk and ensuring early detection. It’s crucial to educate ourselves about it, raise awareness about vaccinations, preventive screenings, and testing. Here are seven important things to know about cervical cancer and how to prvent it. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of cervical cancer. Peolonged and untreated infection with high-risk types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is caused by HPV infection in 99,7% cases. Vaccinated against HPV can significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Both woman and man who can transmit this virus greatly reduce tha possibility of developing cancer. In Croatia, one woman dies from cervical cancer every third day. In Croatia, more than 300 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and over 100 lose their battle with this disease. Vaccination against HPV and regular preventive gynecological exams significantly reduce the chances of developing this type of cancer. Regular screenings and early detection are crucial for effective treatment and better outcomes. Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women in Croatia aged 30 to 39, with the highest number of cases occurring in the 35 to 55 age group. Timely prevention and regular check-ups are therefore extremely important for women in this age group. Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer. Almost every case of cervical cancer can be prevented. By vaccinating against the HPV virus, the possibility of occurrence is significantly reduced.Preventing and reducing the risk of HPV infection directly impacts the prevention of cervical cancer in woman. We achieve this by vaccinating children in early adolescence, both girls and boys. 6 The immune response to the vaccine in the age group of 10 to 15 years is much better than in adults, and at that age, the possibility of contracting the virus is much lower, making the vaccine more effective. Screening programs and testing can reduce disease mortality by 80%. Regular preventive gynecological exams, including Pap tests and HPV testing, along with screening programs that detect precancerous changes before cancer develops, are ways to identify changes early or diagnose cancer at an early stage when it can be successfully treated. High-quality, well-organized screening programs have proven to be very effective in reducing the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, and can reduce the mortality rate from this disease by 80%. Symptoms are non-specific and rare. Another reason to raise awareness about the importance of preventive and regular gynecological exams is the fact that cervical cancer often shows no symptoms in its early stages, when it is bets treated because the success of treatment is much higher. Cervical cancer is serious health issue, but with proper education, preventive measures, vaccination, And regular gynecological exams, woman can significantly reduce their risk of disease. It’s enough to decide that the occurrence of the disease is a movie that no one won’t watch and decide to take your own health into your own hands
Radar with automatic plotting aid - ARPA
No full textRad istražuje ključnu ulogu radarske tehnologije u modernoj pomorskoj navigaciji, posebno se fokusirajući na sustav za automatsku radarsku pomoć (ARPA) i njegovu integraciju s radarom. Radar služi kao ključni alat za otkrivanje i praćenje objekata na moru, oslanjajući se na elektromagnetsko zračenje i principe refleksije signala. Djeluje emitiranjem radiovalova putem antene, koji se zatim odbijaju od objekata i vraćaju kao odjeci, omogućujući radarskom sustavu da odredi položaj, udaljenost i kretanje plovila. Evolucija radarske tehnologije, poboljšana napretkom u računalstvu tijekom 1970-ih i 1980-ih, dovela je do razvoja ARPA-e. Ovaj računalno potpomognuti sustav obrađuje radarske podatke kako bi predvidio kretanje plovila, značajno poboljšavajući sigurnost i učinkovitost plovidbe. Međunarodna pomorska organizacija (IMO) nalaže korištenje ARPA sustava za poboljšanje sposobnosti izbjegavanja sudara i smanjenje radnog opterećenja osoblja na mostu. Integracija ARPA-e s drugim navigacijskim sustavima poput sustava za automatsku identifikaciju (AIS) dodatno poboljšava svijest o situaciji. AIS pruža dodatnu identifikaciju plovila i podatke o položaju, nadopunjujući ARPA-ino praćenje temeljeno na radaru. Zajedno olakšavaju sveobuhvatno praćenje pomorskog prometa, poboljšavajući donošenje odluka i smanjujući rizik od sudara. Učinkovitost ARPA sustava uvelike ovisi o snazi radarskog odjeka, utjecaju na domet detekcije, pouzdanost identifikacije cilja, točnost praćenja i upravljanje smetnjama. Veće jačine odjeka poboljšavaju mogućnosti detekcije, pomažući u jasnijoj identifikaciji mete u složenim okruženjima i doprinoseći boljim strategijama izbjegavanja sudara. Rasprava se proteže na tehnologije zaslona koje se koriste u radarskim sustavima, od tradicionalnih CRT zaslona do modernih LCD i potencijalno OLED zaslona. Ovaj napredak u tehnologiji zaslona ima za cilj poboljšati vidljivost, čitljivost i operativnu učinkovitost u različitim uvjetima okoline. Sve u svemu, integracija ARPA-e s radarskom tehnologijom predstavlja značajan napredak u pomorskoj navigaciji, nudeći poboljšane sigurnosne mjere i operativnu učinkovitost. Buduća bi istraživanja mogla istražiti daljnji napredak u tehnologijama radara i zaslona kako bi se kontinuirano poboljšavale sposobnosti i pouzdanost navigacijskih sustava na moru.The paper explores the pivotal role of radar technology in modern maritime navigation, particularly focusing on the Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) system and its integration with radar. Radar serves as a critical tool for detecting and tracking objects at sea, relying on electromagnetic radiation and signal reflection principles. It operates by emitting radio waves via an antenna, which then bounce off objects and return as echoes, allowing the radar system to determine the position, distance, and movement of vessels. The evolution of radar technology, enhanced by advancements in computing during the 1970s and 1980s, led to the development of ARPA. This computer-assisted system processes radar data to predict the movement of vessels, significantly improving navigational safety and efficiency. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates the use of ARPA systems to enhance collision avoidance capabilities and reduce the workload on bridge personnel. The integration of ARPA with other navigation systems like Automatic Identification System (AIS) further enhances situational awareness. AIS provides additional vessel identification and positional data, complementing ARPA's radar-based tracking. Together, they facilitate comprehensive monitoring of maritime traffic, improving decision-making and reducing collision risks. The effectiveness of ARPA systems heavily relies on radar echo strength, influencing detection range, target identification reliability, tracking accuracy, and interference management. Higher echo strengths improve detection capabilities, aiding in clearer target identification amidst complex environments and contributing to better collision avoidance strategies. The discussion extends to the display technologies used in radar systems, from traditional CRT displays to modern LCD and potentially OLED screens. These advancements in display technology aim to enhance visibility, readability, and operational effectiveness under varying environmental conditions. Overall, the integration of ARPA with radar technology represents a significant advancement in maritime navigation, offering enhanced safety measures and operational efficiencies. Future research could explore further advancements in radar and display technologies to continually improve navigation systems' capabilities and reliability at sea
The relationship between female sexual function, sociocultural attitudes toward appearance and body-esteem
No full textSeksualna funkcija obuhvaća niz domena seksualnosti kao što su želja, uzbuđenje, lubrikacija, bol, orgazam i zadovoljstvo te kao takva uključuje i psihološke i fiziološke procese. Unatoč činjenici da su problemi u seksualnoj funkciji u žena učestali te nadmašuju brojke problema muškaraca, njima je pridano značajno manje pažnje. Svi aspekti seksualnosti imaju mnoštvo korelata te su pod utjecajem brojnih varijabli, a ovo istraživanje se osvrće na odnose seksualnosti i određenih varijabli koje su specifično relevantne za sadašnje vrijeme. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja bio ispitati odnos između nekih sociodemografskih podataka (dob, roditeljstvo i indeks tjelesne mase), zadovoljstva vezom, sociokulturnih stavova o tjelesnom izgledu (internalizacija ideala opće privlačnosti, mršavosti i mišićavosti te pritisci od obitelji, vršnjaka, značajnih osoba i medija), zadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom (zadovoljstvo tjelesnom kondicijom, težinom i seksualnom privlačnosti) i seksualne funkcije u žena. U istraživanju su sudjelovale 603 žene prosječne dobi 32 godine (M=32,43, SD=8,93). Od mjernih instrumenata korišteni su Upitnik općih podataka, Indeks ženske seksualne funkcije, Upitnik sociokulturnih stavova o tjelesnom izgledu-4-revidirani i Skala zadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom. Rezultati ukazuju da žene koje su u predanoj vezi/braku te koje su zadovoljnije svojom vezom, uživaju sveukupno bolju, odnosno zdraviju seksualnu funkciju. Nadalje, žene koje postižu više rezultate na internalizaciji ideala opće privlačnosti i mršavosti manje su zadovoljne svojom tjelesnom kondicijom, svojom težinom te svojom seksualnom privlačnošću. Osim toga, žene koje više internaliziraju ideale mišićavosti zadovoljnije su svojom tjelesnom kondicijom i svojom težinom. Rezultati također ukazuju kako su žene koje doživljavaju više pritisaka od obitelji, vršnjaka, značajnih osoba i medija manje zadovoljne svojom tjelesnom kondicijom, svojom težinom te svojom seksualnom privlačnošću. Utvrđeno je i kako žene koje doživljavaju više vanjskih pritisaka u vezi vlastitog tjelesnog izgleda, imaju slabiju seksualnu funkciju te kako žene koje su zadovoljnije svojom tjelesnom kondicijom, težinom i seksualnom privlačnosti imaju bolju seksualnu funkciju. Konačno, regresijskom analizom utvrđeno je kako zadovoljstvo vezom, zadovoljstvo seksualnom privlačnosti te pritisci od obitelji značajno doprinose objašnjenju seksualne funkcije u žena, pri čemu se zadovoljstvo vezom pokazalo najznačajnijim prediktorom seksualne funkcije u žena.Sexual function encompasses several domains of sexuality such as desire, arousal, lubrication, pain, orgasm and satisfaction and as such includes both psychological as well as physiological processes. Despite the fact that the problems in female sexual function are common and surpass the numbers of problems in males, they are paid far less attention. All aspects of sexuality have a number of correlates and are influenced by a number of variables, but this study is dedicated to analyzing the relationships between sexuality and certain variables which are especially relevant for the present day. Hence, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between certain sociodemographic dana (age, parenting and body mass index), relationship satisfaction, sociocultural attitudes toward appearance (internalization of thin, muscular and general attractiveness body ideals and family, peers, significant others and media pressures), body-esteem (physical condition, weight concern and sexual attractiveness) and female sexual function. The study was conducted on 603 women with an average age of 32 years (M=32,43, SD=8,93). When it comes to psychometric instruments, General Data Questionnaire, Female Sexual Function Index, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4-Revised and the Body-Esteem Scale were used. The results indicate that women who are in committed relationship/marriage and those who are more satisfied with their relationship, enjoy an overall better/healthier sexual function. Furthermore, women who achieved higher results on internalization of general attractiveness and thin body ideals are less satisfied with their physical condition, weight and sexual attractiveness. On the other hand, women who internalize muscular body ideals are more satisfied with their physical condition and their weight. The results also showed that women who experience more pressures from their family, peers, significant others and media are less satisfied with their physical condition, weight and sexual attractiveness. They also indicate that women who experience more pressures from outside sources have poorer sexual function and that women who are more satisfied with their physical condition, weight and sexual attractiveness have better sexual function. Finally, a regression analysis showed that relationship satisfaction, sexual attractiveness satisfaction and family pressures significantly contribute to the explanation of female sexual function, where the relationship satisfaction proved to be the most significant predictor of female sexual function

In other words, his literary work not only questions the current state of education but also offers proposals for its transformation
Social marketing in public health: awareness campaigns in Croatia
No full textOvaj diplomski rad pruža uvid u obilježja društvenog marketinga, ističući ga kao učinkovitu strategiju promjene ponašanja na populacijskoj razini, s posebnim naglaskom na njegov veliki potencijal za širu primjenu u javnom zdravstvu. Glavni cilj rada bio je analizirati učinkovitost društvenog marketinga u obrazovanju zajednice o javnom zdravlju, s posebnim naglaskom na kampanje podizanja svijesti o raku dojke u Hrvatskoj. U svrhu ostvarivanja ciljeva provedeno je anketno istraživanja na uzorku od 177 žena u razdoblju od 28. kolovoza do 5. rujna 2024. godine. Rezultati su pokazali da kampanje podizanja svijesti o raku dojke imaju umjereni učinak na promjenu zdravstvenog ponašanja žena u Hrvatskoj. Iako postoji interes za dodatne informacije o prevenciji, značajan dio populacije nedovoljno je motiviran za sudjelovanje u preventivnim pregledima. Ova nemotiviranost najčešće proizlazi iz odsutnosti percipiranih simptoma, što smanjuje osjećaj potrebe za preventivnim mjerama. Testiranjem hipoteza utvrđeno je da ne postoji statistički značajna razlika između izloženosti kampanjama podizanja svijesti o raku dojke i sudjelovanja žena u preventivnim pregledima. Ipak, utvrđena je značajna povezanost između izloženosti kampanjama i povećane potrage za informacijama o raku dojke. Ovi rezultati sugeriraju da, premda kampanje mogu doprinijeti povećanju svijesti, one nisu dovoljno učinkovite u poticanju promjene zdravstvenog ponašanja kada se govori o sudjelovanja u preventivnim mjerama.This thesis provides an insight into the characteristics of social marketing, highlighting it as an effective strategy for behavior change at the population level, with particular emphasis on its significant potential for broader application in public health. The main objective of the paper was to analyze the effectiveness of social marketing in educating communities about public health, with a specific focus on breast cancer awareness campaigns in Croatia. In order to achieve the goals, a questionnaire survey was conducted on a sample of 177 women in the period from August 28 to September 5, 2024. It was found that breast cancer awareness campaigns have a moderate effect on changing women's health behavior in Croatia. Although there is interest in additional information about prevention, a significant number of women remains insufficiently motivated to participate in preventive screenings. This insufficient motivation is primarily attributed to the absence of perceived symptoms, which reduces the sense of need for preventive measures. Hypothesis testing revealed no statistically significant difference between exposure to breast cancer awareness campaigns and women's participation in preventive screenings. However, a significant association was found between exposure to campaigns and increased search for breast cancer information. These results suggest that although campaigns can contribute to increasing awareness, they are not sufficiently effective in promoting health behavior change when it comes to participating in preventive measures
Readiness of educators for lifelong professional education
No full textOdgojitelji nakon formalnog obrazovanja nisu dovoljno spremni za izazove koji ih očekuju u radu u dječjim vrtićima, stoga im je potrebno daljnje cjeloživotno učenje i obrazovanje. Nadalje, u svijetu se događaju promjene, te shodno promjenama odgojitelji trebaju mijenjati svoja znanja, uvjerenja i stavove, odnosno profesionalno se razvijati i jačati svoje kompetencije za rad s djecom, roditeljima i kolegama. U radu se navela razlika između cjeloživotnog učenja i obrazovanja, te razlika između profesionalnosti i profesionalizma, Naime, ovim istraživanjem ispitana je spremnost odgojitelja djece rane i predškolske dobi na cjeloživotno profesionalno obrazovanje, te njihove preferencije, ali i problemi i prepreke u ostvarivanju različitih oblika cjeloživotnog obrazovanja odgojitelja. Navedeni rezultati dovedeni su u korelaciju sa stupnjem obrazovanja, dobi i radnim iskustvom odgojitelja. Istraživanje je provedeno u Zadarskoj županiji.After formal education, educators are not sufficiently prepared for the challenges that await them when working in kindergartens, therefore they need further lifelong learning and education. Furthermore, changes are taking place in the world, and in accordance with the changes, educators should change their knowledge, beliefs and attitudes. That includes development and strengthening of professional competences for educational work with children as well as cooperation with parents and colleagues. The graduation thesis stated the difference between lifelong learning and education, and the difference between professionalism and professionalism, Namely, this research examined the readiness of educators of early and preschool children for lifelong professional education, as well as their preferences, problems and obstacles in achieving various forms of lifelong education of educators. The above results were correlated with the level of education, age and work experience of the educators. The research was conducted in Zadar Count
Exposure to hustle culture and some aspects of mental health and well-being in young adults
No full text„Hustle“ kultura trend je na društvenim mrežama i u medijima koji podrazumijeva moderno radno okruženje koje naglašava naporni, prekovremeni rad kao ključ uspjeha. Ovaj fenomen stavlja rad u središte života mladih osoba i promovira ideju kako naporni rad i guranje sebe preko svojih granica dovodi do bogatstva, prosperiteta, uspjeha i samoaktualizacije. Ovo je istraživanje potaknuto nedostatkom istraživanja koja se bave odnosom „hustle“ kulture i mentalnog zdravlja kod mlađih odraslih osoba koje se upravo nalaze u periodu kada se nastoje ostvariti u različitim životnim ulogama. S obzirom na sve navedeno, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos izloženosti „hustle“ kulturi i nekih aspekata mentalnog zdravlja i dobrobiti (samopoštovanje, emocionalna stabilnost, opće mentalno zdravlje) mlađih odraslih osoba. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 214 osoba koje su ispunile online upitnik koji je, osim upitnika o sociodemografskim podatcima, uključivao Upitnik o podložnosti „hustle“ kulturi, Rosenbergovu skalu samopoštovanja, subskalu neuroticizma iz upitnika IPIP 50 te Skalu mentalnog zdravlja. Utvrđena je razlika u podložnosti „hustle“ kulturi s obzirom na spol, broj sati kojeg osobe dnevno provedu u obvezama vezanima uz posao ili studij ili na društvenim mrežama i medijima općenito te s obzirom na upoznatost s pojmovima „hustle“ kulture i/ili „hustlinga“, a nije pronađena razlika u podložnosti „hustle“ kulturi s obzirom na stupanj obrazovanja. Nadalje, utvrđena je negativna povezanost između podložnosti „hustle“ kulturi i dobi. Što se tiče podložnosti „hustle“ kulturi i nekih aspekata mentalnog zdravlja koji su ispitani u ovom istraživanju, utvrđena je negativna povezanost s razinom samopoštovanja, pozitivna povezanost s razinom neuroticizma te negativna povezanost s razinom općeg mentalnog zdravlja. Nalazi provedenog istraživanja upućuju na važnost daljnjih istraživanja u ovom području.Hustle culture is a social media trend that implies a modern work environment that emphasizes hard, overtime work as the key to success. This phenomenon puts work in the center of young peoples' lives and promotes the idea of how hard work and pushing yourself over your own bounderies leads to success, fortune, money and self-actualization. Motivation for this research was lack of information and knowledge about hustle culture and mental health of young adults who are entering a period of life when they try to accomplish themselves in many different life roles. Considering previously stated, the goal of this research was to examine the relationship between hustle culture and some aspects of mental health and wellbeing (self-esteem, emotional stability, general mental health) of young adults. 214 participants took part in an online survey which included sociodemographic data questions, questionnaire of susceptibility to hustle culture, Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale, Neuroticism Scale from IPIP 50 questionnaire and the Mental Health Scale. The data show a difference in susceptibily to hustle culture with regard to gender, number of hours one spends working or number of hours spent on social media or consuming media in general, and with regard to familiarity with basic hustle culture concepts. On the other hand, there was no difference when it came to suscepbility to hustle culture with regard to the level of education. Furthermore, susceptibility to hustle culture significantly negatively correlated with age. Considering the relationship between hustle culture and some aspects of mental health which were examined in this research, negative correlation of susceptibilty to hustle culture with selfesteem and general mental health, and positive correlation with the level of neuroticism was found. The results of this research indicate a need of futher research in this field
Application of rhythmic and dance structures in work with preschool children
No full textPles je neizostavna aktivnost u dječjem vrtiću iz razloga što se njime djeca zabavljaju, ali i razvijaju u različitim područjima. Osim što mogu plesati samostalno (individualno), djeca mogu plesne i ritmičke aktivnosti prolaziti i u grupi, s odgojiteljima i ostalom djecom te, pri tome, koristiti strogo zadanu koreografiju, ali i improvizaciju čime se razvijaju njihova mašta i kreativnost. U ključne karakteristike plesa ubrajaju se ritmičnost, pokreti tijela, koreografija, izazivanje emocija, stil i estetika, interakcija s prostorom, timski rad i partnerstvo, tjelesna kondicija i vještina, tradicija i kultura te improvizacija. S obzirom da se djeca, posebno rane i predškolske dobi, intenzivno razvijaju, jako je važno da su tjelesno aktivna, a jedan je od tih načina upravo ples. Za njihov cjelokupni razvoj jako je značajno stjecanje glazbenih kompetencija jer one doprinose razvoju slušnih, motoričkih, kognitivnih, emocionalnih i socijalnih vještina djece. Razvoj glazbenih sposobnosti u ovom razdoblju života temelji se na igri, istraživanju i spontanom izražavanju kroz različite glazbene aktivnosti. U skladu s time, za potrebe ovog diplomskog rada, proučila su se prethodno provedena istraživanja i provele su se aktivnosti u šibenskom vrtiću nakon čega se došlo do sljedećih zaključaka: osim toga što djeca pozitivno reagiraju samo kada čuju glazbu, posebnu emociju kod njih izazivaju razne pjevačke i plesačke aktivnosti. Čak i kod nekolicine djece koja su pružala jednu vrstu otpora prilikom ovih plesnih i ritmičkih aktivnosti, vrlo brzo su se pojavile želja i zainteresiranost za istima. Djeca su pokazivala mnoštvo pozitivnih emocija prilikom sudjelovanja u svim aktivnostima, stalno su tražila „još“ te je, što je iznimno važno, kod njih zabilježen iznimno značajan pomak u njihovom kognitivnom, motoričkom, emocionalnom, socijalnom i fizičkom razvoju, što i je zapravo glavni cilj provođenja plesnih i ritmičkih struktura.Dancing is an essential activity in kindergarten because it amuses children, but also develops them in different areas. In addition to being able to dance independently (individually), children can also go dance and rhythmic activities in a group, with educators and other children, and, in doing so, use strictly set choreography, as well as improvisation, which develops their imagination and creativity. The key characteristics of dance include rhythmicity, body movements, choreography, evoking emotions, style and aesthetics, interaction with space, teamwork and partnership, physical fitness and skill, tradition and culture, and improvisation. Given that children, especially those of early and preschool age, are developing intensively, it is very important that they are physically active, and one of those ways is precisely dancing. The acquisition of musical competences is very important for their overall development because they contribute to the development of children's auditory, motor, cognitive, emotional and social skills. The development of musical abilities in this period of life is based on play, research and spontaneous expression through various musical activities. Accordingly, for the purposes of this thesis, previously conducted research was studied and activities were carried out in the kindergarten in Šibenik, after which the following conclusions were reached: in addition to the fact that children react positively only when they hear music, a special emotion is evoked in them by various singing and dancing activities. Even with a few children who offered some kind of resistance during these dance and rhythmic activities, the desire and interest in them appeared very quickly. The children showed a lot of positive emotions when participating in all the activities, they were constantly looking for "more" and, what is extremely important, an extremely significant shift in their cognitive, motor, emotional, social and physical development was recorded, which is actually the main the goal of implementing dance and rhythmic structures
