    Sam turizam izuzetno je specifičan fenomen koji uvelike ovisi o brojnim faktorima, i k tome je iznimno osjetljiv na vanjske utjecaje. S obzirom na tu karakteristiku, određene turističke destinacije upravo radi tih utjecaja imaju otežan turistički razvoj. Jedna takva destinacija jest Izrael. Usprkos tome, promatran sa aspekta turističkog značaja, Izrael predstavlja doista jedinstvenu turističku destinaciju u svijetu. Ova regija evocira bogato vjersko, kulturno i povijesno naslijeđe. „Sveta zemlja“ kao pojam odnosi se na Izrael, a u širem smislu obuhvaća i dijelove Jordana i Egipta. Mjesto je ispreplitanja triju svjetskih religija što pogoduje intenzivnom razvoju vjerskog turizma tijekom čitave godine. Turističke atrakcije Izraela dijele se na kršćanske, muslimanske i židovske, a područje obiluje i prirodnim ljepotama. Najviše posjetitelja ovog područja dolazi iz zapadnih kršćanskih zemalja, dok nešto manje iz istočnih muslimanskih država. Kao destinacija najviše je usmjeren upravo na vjerski turizam koji je otvoren kroz cijelu godinu, koji danas još upotpunjuje sa kupališnim. Od najvažnijih emitivnih tržišta prema Izraelu izdvajaju se Sjedinjene Američke Države, Francuska, Rusija, Njemačka i Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo, koje zajedno čine preko 50 % ukupnih turističkih dolazaka u Izrael. S obzirom na to, postavlja se pitanje kakav je zapravo imidž Izraela kao turističke destinacije na emitivnim tržištima koja nisu primarna, odnosno na onima koja ovu destinaciju ne posjećuju u velikim postocima (npr. stanovnici Republike Hrvatske). Ciljevi ovog istraživanja su davanje uvida u relevantnu znanstvenu literaturu o kreiranju imidža turističkih destinacija, zatim analiziranje Izraela kao posebne turističke destinacije, analiziranje profila turista u Izraelu i njegovih najvažnijih emitivnih tržišta te analiziranje marketinških aktivnosti Izraela, i u konačnici analiza profila Republike Hrvatske kao emitivnog turističkog tržišta i dobivanje uvida u percepciju imidža stanovnika Hrvatske o Izraelu kao turističkoj destinaciji. Istraživanje analize imidža Izraela kao turističke destinacije na emitivnom tržištu Republike Hrvatske provedeno je prikupljanjem primarnih podataka putem anketnog ispitivanja preko Interneta (Google Forms). Ispitan je ukupno 101 ispitanik, te je potvrđena nul – hipoteza kako ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u percepciji imidža Izraela s obzirom na različitu dob ispitanih i alternativna hipoteza da bolja upoznatost ispitanika s Izraelom znači i pozitivniju sliku o toj zemlji kao turističkoj destinaciji. Ovo primarno istraživanje, i potencijalna, naknadna istraživanja na istu temu važna su jer predstavljaju prvi korak u mogućem povezivanju hrvatskih turista s izraelskom destinacijom.Tourism itself is an extremely specific phenomenon that largely depends on numerous factors, and is also extremely sensitive to external influences. Considering this characteristic, certain tourist destinations have difficult tourist development precisely because of these influences. One such destination is Israel. Nevertheless, viewed from the aspect of tourist importance, Israel represents a truly unique tourist destination in the world. This region evokes a rich religious, cultural and historical heritage. The „Holy Land“ as a term refers to Israel, and in a broader sense also includes parts of Jordan and Egypt. It is a place of intertwining of three world religions, which favors the intensive development of religious tourism throughout the year. The tourist attractions of Israel are divided into Christian, Muslim and Jewish, and the area also abounds in natural beauty. Most visitors to the area come from Western Christian countries, while slightly fewer from Eastern Muslim countries. As a destination, it is mostly focused on religious tourism, which is open throughout the year, which today is completed with bathing tourism. Of the most important broadcasting markets to Israel, the United States, France, Russia, Germany and the United Kingdom stand out, which together account for over 50 % of total tourist arrivals in Israel. In view of this, the question arises as to the image of Israel as a tourist destination on broadcast markets that are not primary, that is, on those that do not visit this destination in large percentages (e.g. residents of the Republic of Croatia). The goals of this research are to provide insight into the relevant scientific literature on creating the image of tourist destinations, then to analyze Israel as a special tourist destination, to analyze the profile of tourists in Israel and its most important broadcasting markets, and to analyze the marketing activities of Israel, and ultimately to analyze the profile of the Republic of Croatia as an broadcasting tourist market and gaining insight into the perception of the image of Croatian residents about Israel as a tourist destination. Research on the analysis of Israel's image as a tourist destination on the broadcasting market of the Republic of Croatia was conducted by collecting primary data through a survey survey over the Internet (Google Forms). A total of 101 respondents were examined, and the null – hypothesis was confirmed that there is no statistically significant difference in the perception of Israel's image, considering the different ages of the respondents, and the alternative hypothesis that the respondents' better familiarity 69 with Israel also means a more positive image of that country as a tourist destination. This primary research, and potential, subsequent research on the same topic, are important because they represent the first step in the possible connection of Croatian tourists with the Israeli destination

    Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se primjenom načela zavičajnosti te izvanučioničke i projektne nastave u nastavnom predmetu Priroda i društvo. Cilj je uputiti na mogućnosti uklapanja lokalnih sadržaja u nastavni proces uporabom navedenih metodičkih pristupa i oblika nastave. Za ostvarivanje cilja odabrani su okolišni sadržaji Općine Perušić, koja u ovom radu ima obilježje zavičaja. Osnovne metode rada su kompilacija na temelju prikupljene tiskane i mrežne literature i izvora, terenski rad s opažanjem i fotografiranjem te deskriptivna metoda kojom se služi za izradu triju pisanih priprava za izvođenje nastave u trećem razredu te pri odabiru prijedloga za ostvarivanje ishoda o okolišu i zavičaju projektnom i izvanučioničkom nastavom. Osmišljavanjem konkretnih primjera nastavnog oblikovanja sadržaja iz nastavnog predmeta Priroda i društvo vezanih uz okoliš Općine Perušić pokazalo se kako zavičaj, tj. lokalno okruženje, može biti prvorazredna učionica na otvorenom i izniman poticaj za učenje. Uputilo se i na važnost uporabe zavičajnih sadržaja u nastavi kako bi učenici razvili osjećaj pripadnosti, razumijevanja i brige za svoj okoliš, ali i kako bi im nastavni proces bio smisleniji i zanimljiviji.This thesis examines the application of the principle of locality, along with outdoor and project based teaching, within the school subject Nature and Society. The primary objective is to explore the possibilities of integrating local content into the educational process through these methodological approaches and teaching forms. To achieve this, environmental content from the Perušić Municipality—regarded in this work as the local or home region—was selected. The core methods employed include compilation based on collected printed and online literature and sources, fieldwork involving observation and photography, and the descriptive method. The descriptive method was particularly employed in the preparation of three detailed written lesson plans for teaching third-grade students, as well as in proposing recommendations for achieving learning outcomes related to the environment and the home region through project-based and outdoor learning. By developing concrete examples of written lesson plans in Nature and Society related to the environment of the Perušić Municipality, the thesis demonstrates how the home region—that is, the local environment—can serve as a high-quality open-air classroom and a significant incentive for learning. The work also highlights the importance of incorporating regional content into teaching, as it fosters students' sense of belonging, understanding, and care for their environment, while simultaneously making the learning process more meaningful and engaging

    Antun Branko Šimić jedan je od najpoznatijih hrvatskih pjesnika ekspresionizma. U ovom diplomskom radu, analizirane su ekspresionističke pjesme iz njegove zbirke Preobraženja iz 1920. godine i pjesme objavljene nakon zbirke. Pjesme objavljene prije navedene zbirke nisu analizirane jer spadaju u impresionističku fazu Šimićeva stvaralaštva. Prije poglavlja o hrvatskom ekspresionizmu, poglavlja o Antunu Branku Šimiću, potpoglavlja u kojem je predstavljen način na koji se motiv smrti ostvaruje u njegovoj poeziji i analize poezije, izložena su neka od glavnih obilježja filozofije egzistencije i predstavljeni filozofi Karl Jaspers i JeanPaul Sartre te objašnjeni njihovi pristupi temi smrti. S obzirom da je Šimićeva ekspresionistička poetika prožeta egzistencijalnom problematikom, analizirani su tragovi njihovih pristupa u njegovoj poeziji. Temeljna literatura iskorištena za pisanje ovoga rada je Uvod u filozofije egzistencije Jeana Beaufreta, članak Areligiozni egzistencijalizam Ante Kusića, knjiga Neizrecivo kod Jaspersa i Wittgensteina Ante Periše, Smisao filozofske egzistencije Branka Bošnjaka, Filozofija egzistencije Karla Jaspersa, Približavanje: prolegomena za liriku Antuna Branka Šimića Jure Kaštelana, Pjesničko stvaralaštvo Antuna Branka Šimića Krystyne Pieniążek-Marković i Preobražaji i preobraženja Radovana Vučkovića.Antun Branko Šimić is one of the most famous Croatian poets of expressionism. In this graduate thesis, expressionist poems are analyzed from his collection of poems called Metamorphoses from the year 1920. and poems that are published after the collection. Poems published before the specified collection were not analyzed because they belong to the impressionistic phase of Šimić's creation. Prior to the chapter on Croatian expressionism, chapter on Antun Branko Šimić, chapter in which the motive of death is realized in his poetry and poetry analysis, some of the main features of the philosophy of existence are exhibited, philosophers Karl Jaspers and Jean-Paul Sartre are introduced and their approaches towards the theme of death are explained. Given that Šimić's expressionist poetics is imbued with existential issues, traces of their approaches in his poetry have been analyzed. Main literature used for writing this paper is Uvod u filozofije egzistencije by Jean Beaufret, an article Areligiozni egzistencijalizam by Ante Kusić, Neizrecivo kod Jaspersa i Wittgensteina by Ante Periša, Smisao filozofske egzistencije by Branko Bošnjak, Filozofija egzistencije by Karl Jaspers, Približavanje: prolegomena za liriku Antuna Branka Šimića by Jure Kaštelan, Pjesničko stvaralaštvo Antuna Branka Šimića by Krystyna Pieniążek-Marković and Preobražaji i preobraženja by Radovan Vučković

    Artistic connections between the two coasts of the Adriatic in the 11th century: the example of Osor and Pomposa

    Blizina istočne i zapadne obale Jadranskog mora stoljećima je omogućavala intenzivnu kulturnu razmjenu, a u 11. stoljeću u kontekstu Crkvene reforme ta se povezanost očituje u arhitekturi i skulpturi sakralnih građevina, ponajviše benediktinskih samostana. U fokusu ovog rada su kameni i terakotni reljefni ulomci pročelja i liturgijskih instalacija s obje strane Jadrana, na mletačko-ravenskom i zadarsko-splitskom području, koji dijele istovjetne motive i stilsku obradu. Značajni su prikazi ptica i četveronožaca čije je perje odnosno krzno naznačeno kratkim paralelnim potezima dijetla, a urezana linija prati oblik ekstremiteta, te ista lica lavova i ljudi s bademastim očima, ravnim nosom i ravnom linijom usta. Veza između Osora i Pompose očituje se ne samo u gotovo identičnoj arhitektonskoj i skulpturalnoj koncepciji – trobrodne bazilike s portikom i frizovima kružnica – već i u povijesnim ličnostima koje ih povezuju, od Sv. Romualda i Gaudencija do Lovre, Ivana i Majnarda.The proximity of the eastern and western coasts of the Adriatic Sea has enabled intensive cultural exchange for centuries, and in the 11th century, in the context of the Church Reform, this connection is reflected in the architecture and sculpture of sacred buildings, mostly Benedictine monasteries. The focus of this paper is on stone and terracotta relief fragments of facades and liturgical installations on both sides of the Adriatic, in the VenetianRavenna and Zadar-Split areas, which share identical motifs and stylistic treatment. Significant are the depictions of birds and quadrupeds whose feathers or fur are indicated by short parallel strokes, and the incised line which follows the shape of the extremities, as well as the same faces of lions and people with almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose and a straight line of the mouth. The connection between Osor and Pomposa is evident not only in the almost identical architectural and sculptural concept – a three-nave basilica with a portico and friezes of circles – but also in the historical figures that connect them, from St. Romuald and Gaudentius to Lawrence, John and Maynard

    Sensory development of the child in Waldorf pedagogy

    U suvremenom društvu, gdje digitalna stimulacija često zamjenjuje izravnu percepciju, a ubrzani ritmovi života potiskuju djetetovu potrebu za tišinom, promatranjem i ritmom, pitanje razvoja osjetila postaje izuzetno važno. Waldorfska pedagogija prepoznaje tu potrebu i nudi sustav koji promatra dijete kao cjelovito biće, tjelesno, duševno i duhovno, pri čemu osjetila čine temelj tog razvoja. U fokusu waldorfske pedagogije je razumijevanje djeteta kao osjetilnog bića, pri čemu se osjetila shvaćaju kao temelj njegovog doživljavanja sebe, drugih i svijeta oko sebe. Smatra se da se djetetov duhovni, emocionalni i kognitivni razvoj ne može odvijati bez svjesnog i uravnoteženog razvoja osjetilnog sustava. U radu se daje sustavan teorijski pregled osjetilnog razvoja djeteta iz perspektive waldorfske pedagogije, koja holistički pristupa fizičkim, emocionalnim i duhovnim aspektima djetinjstva. Temeljen na konceptu dvanaest osjetila Rudolfa Steinera, rad analizira kako pedagoški alati, poput ritma, uređenja prostora, radnih, praktičnih i umjetničkih aktivnosti, podržavaju skladan rast osjetilne percepcije. Posebna pažnja posvećena je iskustvenom učenju, korištenju prirodnih materijala i umjetničkim aktivnostima u oblikovanju djetetovog odnosa sa svijetom. U radu se razmatra pristup waldorfske pedagogije razvoju i odgoju osjetila u ranom djetinjstvu, kroz teorijsku analizu i primjere iz prakse, s fokusom na njezin doprinos cjelovitom razvoju osjetilnih iskustva djeteta.In modern society, where digital stimulation often takes the place of direct experience and the fast pace of life represses a child's necessity for silence, observation and rhythm, the topic of sensory development has become critically important. Waldorf education addresses this issue by offering a system that approaches the child as a complete being, mind, body, and soul, with the senses forming the foundation for this development. A core principle of Waldorf pedagogy is the understanding that a child is a sensory being, and that their senses are fundamental to how they experience themselves, others, and the world around them. It is a firm belief in this approach that a child's spiritual, emotional, and cognitive growth cannot happen without the deliberate and balanced development of their sensory system. This paper provides a systematic theoretical overview of child sensory development from the perspective of Waldorf pedagogy, which takes a holistic approach to a child's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Drawing on Rudolf Steiner's concept of the twelve senses, this paper examines how pedagogical tools, such as rhythm, spatial organization, and practical and artistic activities, support the harmonious growth of sensory perception. Particular emphasis is placed on experience learning, using natural materials and engaging in artistic activities to shape a child's relationship with the world. Through both theoretical analysis and practical examples, this paper explores the Waldorf approach to developing the senses in early childhood, highlighting its contribution to the holistic development of a child's sensory experiences

    Ovaj diplomski rad pod naslovom Analiza jezičnih strategija u kreiranju identiteta turističke destinacije na primjeru HTZ-a analizira stilske figure i semiotičke resurse, koji se koriste u objavama u 2024. godini na Facebook stranici Croatia Full of Life, kako bi se oblikovao i promicao identitet Hrvatske kao poželjne turističke destinacije. Kombinacija kvalitativne i kvantitativne analize sadržaja obuhvatila je 50 objava, uključujući standardne objave (slika i opis), reelove, promotivne videozapise i slogane unutar slike, kako bi analizirao način na koji HTZ koristi jezik i digitalne resurse za angažiranje korisnika. Analiza je pokazala bogatu uporabu stilskih figura, pri kojoj su najzastupljenije: epitet (89.4 %), metafora (49.1 %), personifikacija (32.6 %), hiperbola (32 %) i retoričko pitanje (26.9 %). Ove figure, u kombinaciji sa semiotičkim resursima, kao što su emotikoni (u 108 objava), hashtagovi poput #CroatiaFullOfLife (u 237 objava) i geolokacije, stvaraju privlačni narativ, koji ističe prirodne ljepote, kulturnu baštinu i jedinstvenu privlačnost Hrvatske. Utvrđeno je da 337 objava sadrži subjektivan ton, koji naglašava autentičnost i osobna iskustva, što odgovara globalnim trendovima u turističkom oglašavanju, koji teže pobuđivanju emocija među primateljima poruka i utječu na njihove odluke o putovanju. Ciljana upotreba sadržaja na stranom, u ovom slučaju, engleskom jeziku, s manjim udjelom hrvatskog jezika, usmjerena je na međunarodne turiste, uz istovremeno očuvanje kulturne autentičnosti. Ovi rezultati naglašavaju značaj jezične kreativnosti i digitalne interaktivnosti u brendiranju destinacija, pružajući korisne uvide turističkim marketinškim stručnjacima za stvaranje uvjerljivog stilskog izričaja. Međutim, istraživanje se fokusira na jednu platformu i jednu godinu, što može ograničiti generalizaciju rezultata, a kvalitativna analiza može utjecati na određenu pristranost. Buduće studije mogle bi istražiti strategije na više platformi, dugoročne trendove ili neposredne utjecaje na ponašanje turista, poput stopa rezervacija, kako bi dodatno potvrdile i proširile ove uvide, povećavajući njihovu primjenjivost u globalnim turističkim marketinškim praksama.This thesis, titled Analysis of linguistics strategies used in creation of tourist board identity on the example of the Croatian Tourist Board analyses the stylistic figures and semiotic resources used in the caption of posts in 2024 on their Facebook page Croatia Full of Life to shape and promote Croatia’s identity as a desirable tourist destination. By combining a qualitative and quantitative content analysis which covered 350 posts, including standard posts (image and caption), reels, promotional videos and slogans within images, to develop an understanding of how HTZ employs language and digital resources to engage users. The analysis revealed a rich use of stylistic figures, with epithets being the most prevalent (89.4%), followed by metaphors (49.1%), personification (32.6%), hyperbole (32%), and rhetorical questions (26.9%). These figures, combined with semiotic resources such as emotikons (in 108 posts), hashtags like #CroatiaFullOfLife (in 237 posts), and geolocations, create an emotionally compelling narrative that highlights Croatia’s natural beauty, cultural heritage, and unique appeal. It was found that 337 posts adopted a subjective tone, emphasizing authenticity and personal experiences, which aligns with global tourism trends that prioritize emotional impact on travel decisions. The targeted use of predominantly English content, mixed with occasional Croatian terms, is aimed at international tourists while preserving cultural authenticity. These findings underscore the importance of linguistic creativity and digital interactivity in destination branding, providing valuable insights for tourism marketing professionals in crafting compelling narratives. However, the study focuses on a single platform and year, which may limit the generalizability of the results, and qualitative analysis may introduce some bias. Future studies could explore strategies across multiple platforms, long-term trends, or direct impacts on tourist behavior, such as booking rates, to further validate and expand these insights, enhancing their applicability in global tourism marketing practices

    U diplomskom radu istražuje se potencijal građanske znanosti u kontekstu istraživanja, očuvanja i popularizacije glagoljske baštine putem kampanja masovne podrške koje su se provodile u Centru za istraživanje glagoljaštva Sveučilišta u Zadru u sklopu projekta Javna znanost u području glagoljaštva: od crowdsoucinga do znanja. Cilj rada je opisati način organizacije kampanja masovne podrške u području glagoljskih rukopisa te arhiva. Takav opis uključivao je utvrđivanje prikladne digitalne infrastrukture za provođenje aktivnosti transliteracije glagoljskih rukopisa i utvrđivanje načina odabira prikladnog korpusa za kampanju masovne podrške koji će omogućiti uspješnost kampanja. Nadalje, cilj je utvrditi korisnost i dobrobiti takvih kampanja za javnost te za arhive i druge baštinske ustanove. Metoda istraživanja jest studija slučaja utemeljena na tri kampanje provedene u Centru za istraživanje glagoljaštva Sveučilišta u Zadru u suradnji s Arhivom Zadarske nadbiskupije i Državnim arhivom u Zadru. Kroz osiguranu digitalnu platformu GlagoLab i uz pomoć Transkribus alata za automatsko prepoznavanje, transkripciju i pretraživanje povijesnih dokumenata, omogućena je transliteracija glagoljskih rukopisa. Građani amateri su na taj način uključeni u znanstveno istraživanje kao ravnopravni sudionici u čemu je vidljiva praksa građanske znanosti. Rezultati kampanja pokazali su visok interes i angažman lokalne javnosti koji su omogućili transliteraciju više od 200 stranica glagoljskih rukopisa. Opisan je način organizacije kampanja masovne podrške, a utvrđena je i njihova korist za javnost i baštinske ustanove. Utvrđeno je kako su amateri svojim sudjelovanjem ostvarili niz obrazovnih koristi i razvili nove istraživačke i tehničke vještine dok su arhivi i baštinske ustanove korist ostvarili kroz povećanje njihove vidljivosti, podršku u provođenju redovitih djelatnosti te unaprijeđenju postojećih usluga.This thesis explores the potential of citizen science in the context of researching, preserving, and popularizing Glagolitic heritage through crowd-supported campaigns conducted at the Center for Glagolitic Studies at the University of Zadar, as part of the project Public Science in the Field of Glagolitic Studies: From Crowdsourcing to Knowledge. The aim of this work is to describe the organization of crowd-supported campaigns focused on Glagolitic manuscripts and archives. This description includes determining the appropriate digital infrastructure for conducting transcription activities on Glagolitic manuscripts and establishing a method for selecting a suitable corpus for the crowd-supported campaign to ensure its success. Furthermore, the goal is to assess the usefulness and benefits of such campaigns for the public, as well as for archives and other heritage institutions. The research method is a case study based on three campaigns conducted at the Centre for Glagolitic Studies at the University of Zadar in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Zadar Archives and the State Archives in Zadar. Through the GlagoLab digital platform and the use of Transkribus, a tool for automatic recognition, transcription, and search of historical documents, the transcription of Glagolitic manuscripts was facilitated. In this way, amateur citizens were engaged in scientific research as equal participants, demonstrating the practice of citizen science. The results of the campaigns indicated high interest and engagement from the local public, enabling the transcription of over 200 pages of Glagolitic manuscripts. The organization of the crowd-supported campaigns is described, as well as their benefits for the public and heritage institutions. It was found that amateur participants gained a range of educational benefits and developed new research and technical skills, while archives and heritage institutions benefited through increased visibility, support in regular activities, and the improvement of existing service

    Multipli mijelom je zloćudna hematološka bolest koja najčešće pogađa osobe starije životne dobi, s prosječnom dobi dijagnoze od 70 godina. Bolest se karakterizira nekontroliranom proliferacijom plazma stanica u koštanoj srži, što uzrokuje komplikacije poput koštanih lezija, anemije, bubrežnih disfunkcija i imunoloških poremećaja. Osobe starije životne dobi suočavaju se s posebnim izazovima zbog prisutnih komorbiditeta i smanjene tolerancije na intenzivne terapije. Liječenje uključuje kemoterapiju, imunomodulacijske lijekove, proteasomske inhibitore, terapiju zračenjem, te transplantaciju matičnih stanica. Kod osoba starije životne dobi često se primjenjuje prilagođeni terapijski pristup kako bi se smanjila toksičnost liječenja. Palijativna skrb je također važna za ublažavanje simptoma i poboljšanje kvalitete života. Razumijevanje specifičnih potreba osoba starije životne dobi i primjena individualiziranog pristupa ključni su za uspješno upravljanje ovom složenom bolešću. Medicinske sestre imaju važnu ulogu u skrbi za osobe starije životne dobi s multiplim mijelomom, pružajući sveobuhvatnu skrb koja obuhvaća pripremu za dijagnostičke i terapijske postupke, praćenje simptoma poput boli, umora, infekcija te emocionalnu podršku. S obzirom na krhkost i prisutnost komorbiditeta kod osoba starije životne dobi, medicinske sestre prilagođavaju planove zdravstvene njege, često u suradnji s multidisciplinarnim timom, kako bi smanjile nuspojave i očuvale kvalitetu života. Edukacija bolesnika i obitelji o bolesti, terapiji i samopomoći važna je za bolje razumijevanje bolesti i veće sudjelovanje u liječenju. Holistički pristup, koji uključuje fizičku, emocionalnu i socijalnu skrb, pomaže bolesnicima da se nose s izazovima koje donosi multipli mijelom, osiguravajući im bolju kvalitetu života i dostojanstvo tijekom liječenja.Multiple myeloma is a malignant hematologic disease that mostly affects older people, with the average age at diagnosis being 70 years. The disease is characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow, which leads to complications such as bone damage, anemia, kidney dysfunction and immune disorders. Older patients face particular challenges due to concomitant diseases and a lower tolerance to intensive therapies. Treatment includes chemotherapy, immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation. In older patients, an adapted therapeutic approach is often used to reduce the toxicity of the treatment. Palliative care is also essential to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Understanding the specific needs of elderly patients and taking an individualized approach is key to effectively managing this complex disease. Nurses and medical assistants play a crucial role in the care of elderly patients with multiple myeloma, providing comprehensive care that includes diagnostics, therapy and emotional support. Their tasks include monitoring symptoms such as pain, fatigue and infections, and adapting therapy to the patient's needs. Given the frailty and co-morbidities of older people, nurses and medical technical assistants adapt treatment plans, often in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, to reduce side effects and maintain patients' quality of life. Educating patients and their families about the disease, therapy and self-care is crucial for a better understanding of the disease and greater involvement in treatment. A holistic approach that includes physical, emotional and social care helps patients to overcome the challenges of multiple myeloma and ensures a better quality of life and dignity during treatment

    Cilj ovoga rad je bio opisati ulogu postmaterijalizma u formiranju stavova studenata o poduzetništvu. Definicija i koncepcija postmaterijalizma je građena prema teorijskom okviru Ronalda Ingleharta. Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću online ankete, na studentima Sveučilišta u Zadru (N=152). Uzorak se sastojao pretežito od studentica (N=105) i manjeg udjela studenata (N=45). Utvrđeno je da veliki postotak studenata zanima pokretanje vlastitog posla (71%). Glavna motivacija studenata za pokretanje vlastitog posla je mogućnost zarade. Studenti ističu odsutnost početnog kapitala kao najveću prepreku pri otvaranju vlastitog posla. Centralni nalaz ovog istraživanja jest izostanak povezanosti postmaterijalističkih vrijednosti sa interesom za pokretanje vlastitog posla. Prema dobivenim podacima, studenti koji više vrednuju materijalističke vrijednosti su značajno više zainteresirani za pokretanje vlastitog posla. Ovaj nalaz upućuje na veći fenomen koji definira odnos između mladih i poduzetništva. Točnije, upućuje da mladi imaju materijalističko shvaćanje poduzetništva.The aim of this paper was to describe the role of postmaterialism in shaping students attitudes towards entrepreneurship. The definition and concept of postmaterialism is built according to Ronald Inglehart's theoretical framework. The research was conducted using an online survey, that was distributed among students of the University of Zadar (N=152). The sample consisted mainly of female students (N=105) and a smaller proportion of male students (N=45). It was found that a large percentage of students are interested in starting their own company (71%). The main motivation of students for starting their own company is the possibility of earning money. Students find lack of initial capital as their biggest obstacle to starting their own business. The central finding of this research is the lack of influence of postmaterialist values on interest in starting their own company. According to the obtained data, students who value materialist values more are significantly more interested in starting their own company. This finding indicates at a larger phenomenon thata shapes the relationship between youth and entrepreneurship. More precisely, it indicates that youth has a materialistic view of entrepreneurship

    Ovaj rad afirmira važnost parakonzistencije pri istraživanju paradoksa i kontradikcija, a s naglaskom na nedosljedne teorije kako bi se proučavale bez posljedice trivijaliziranja. Cilj rada je razumijevanje parakonzistentne logike, te prikaz relevantnosti takvog sustava u usporedbi s klasičnom logikom i njenim principima. Također se pokušava razumjeti koju ulogu parakonzistencija ima u drugim znanostima i disciplinama, posebice u fizici, lingvistici, kvantnoj mehanici, umjetnoj inteligenciji i etici. Prikazuju se i načini na koji se relevantni filozofi pozivaju na klasičnu logiku i kako argumentiraju razlike između formalnih i devijantnih logika. Rad apelira na usmjeravanje interesa na ove teme u kontekstu hrvatske logike, i općenito budućih istraživanja u ovim područjima.This paper affirms the importance of paraconsistency in the study of paradoxes and contradictions, with an emphasis on inconsistent theories that can be examined without the consequence of trivialization. The goal of the paper is to understand paraconsistent logic and to present the relevance of such a system in comparison to classical logic and its principles. Additionally, it attempts to explore the role of paraconsistency in other sciences and disciplines, particularly in physics, linguistics, quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence, and ethics. The paper also discusses how relevant philosophers refer to classical logic and argue the differences between formal and deviant logics. It calls for a focus on these topics within the context of Croatian logic and, more generally, future research in forementioned domains
