Index of condition and prevalence of Monogenea in bogue (Boops boops L., 1758.) on fish farms
Akvakultura je gospodarska grana koja je dio ribarstva, a uključuje uzgoj morskih i slatkovodnih riba, rakova, mekušaca pa i algi te se jako brzo razvija. Uzgojne instalacije privlače veliki broj divljih riba radi hrane i jer im pružaju sigurnost od predatora. Broj riba oko uzgojnih kaveza ovisi o godišnjem dobu i migraciji. Divlje riblje mogu predstavljati prijetnju uzgajanoj ribi jer mogu imati iste nametnike. Najčešća vrsta divlje ribe koja se može pronaći oko uzgojnih kaveza je bugva (Boops boops L., 1758.). Jedna je od najbrojnijih vrsta iz porodice ljuskavki (Sparidae) te ju se može pronaći u Sredozemnom moru i istočnom Atlantiku. Nametnici na bugvi su iz skupine račića i jednorodnih metilja. Najčešći su jednakonožni račić (Ceratothoa oestroides), Sparicotyle chrysophrii i Microcotyle isyebi. Jednorodni metilji su nametnici koji se najčešće pronalaze na ribama te su specifični za jednog domaćina. Ovo istraživanje trajalo kroz cijeli mjesec ožujak. Pregledano je 60 divljih bugvi i 62 kavezne bugve koje su bile u kavezu sa komarčama. Ukupno je pronađeno 66 jednorodnih metilja od kojih je 64 bilo na divljoj bugvi, a 2 na kaveznoj. Rezultati su pokazali veći indeks kondicije i mase kod kavezne bugve nego kod divlje dok se duljina nije znatno razlikovala. Pojavnost jednorodnih metilja veća je kod divlje bugve nego kod kavezne. Pronađeni jednorodni metilji su identificirani kao M. isyebi. Potrebno provesti istraživanje tijekom cijele godine kako bi se obuhvatila sva godišnja doba i usporedili podaci u različitim temperaturama.Aquaculture is an economic branch that is part of fishing, and it includes farming of sea and freshwater fish, crabs, mollusks and even algae, also it is expanding fast. Farming cages attract a lot of wild fish because of food, and it provides them safety from predators. Number of fish near cages depends on temperature, migration and feeding. Wild fish can be threat for cultured fish because they can have same pathogens as cultured fish. Most common species of wild fish that can be found near cages is bogue (Boops boops L., 1758.). It is the most numerous species in family of Sparidae and it can be found in Mediterranean Sea and east Atlantic. Pathogens on bogue are from different isopoda group and Monogenea. Most frequent pathogens are Ceratothoa oestroides, Sparicotyle chrysophrii and Microcotyle isyebi. Monogeneas are parasites that are most common on fish, and they are host specific. This research lasted throughout the month of March. 60 wild bogue and 62 caged bogues were examined, and it was found 66 Monogeneans of which 64 were on wild and 2 on caged bogue. Results showed higher index of condition and mass on caged bogue than wild, and length and the length did not differ significantly. Prevalence of Monogeneans was higher in wild bogue. Found Monogeneans belongs to M. isyebi. It is necessary to do research through whole year to cover all seasons to compare data for different temperature
Utjecaj Edgara Allana Poea na suvremene narative o serijskim ubojicama
Edgar Allan Poe, with his examination of the human psyche and the workings of a murderous mind in his short stories The Black Cat (1843), The Tell-Tale Heart (1843) and The Imp of the Perverse (1845), paved the way for serial killer narratives. The analysis of key traits of Poe’s murderers, such as abnormal normality and God-complex or narcissism, forms the core of the paper, along with the dissection of his writing style marked by first-person narration signalling a focus shift, unreliable narration and the twist. These research points are used to later compare Poe’s traditional base to contemporary serial killer depictions on film, taking Seven (1995), American Psycho (2000) and Joker (2019) and their murderers John Doe, Patrick Bateman and Arthur Fleck as examples. Alongside the parallels, dissimilarities are laid out as well, noting the character identification as a detachment from its base, and the final identification of possible dangers that accompany it.Edgar Allan Poe je ispitivanjem ljudske psihe i djelovanja ubojitog uma u svojim kratkim pričama Crni mačak (1843.), Izdajničko srce (1843.) i Đavao perverznosti (1845.) utro put za narative o serijskim ubojicama. Analiza ključnih osobina Poeovih ubojica, poput abnormalne normalnosti i narcisoidnosti ili kompleksa Boga, čini srž rada, zajedno sa seciranjem njegovog stila pisanja kojeg obilježava pripovijedanje u prvom licu, odnosno nepouzdani pripovjedač i iznenađujući zaplet. Ove polazne točke istraživanja koriste se za kasniju usporedbu Poeove tradicionalne baze sa suvremenim prikazima serijskih ubojica na velikom ekranu, uzimajući kao primjer filmove Sedam (1995.), Američki psiho (2000.) i Joker (2019.) i njihove ubojice Johna Doea, Patricka Batemana i Arthura Flecka. Uz sličnosti, izlažu se i različitosti; identifikacija s likom je karakteristična isključivo za moderni prikaz ubojice, te se primjećuje odvajanje od Poeove osnove i potencijalno opasne popratne posljedice
Methodology of teaching elements of rhythmic gymnastics in elementary school
Ritmička gimnastika je sport koji objedinjuje aspekte umjetnosti poput plesa i baletatesporta kroz gimnastičke pokrete.To je sport koji stimulira razvoj komponenti tjelesne kondicije svih dijelova tijela, odnosno mišićne snage i izdržljivost.Bitno je naglasiti kako ritmička gimnastika spada u kategoriju individualnih sportova, stoga je tehnike u ritmičkoj gimnastici zahtijevno savladati. Kretanja u ritmičkoj gimnastici zahtijevaju dobre motoričke vještine koje su neophodne za usvajanje elemenata te usklađenost pokreta koji prati glazbu. Također, važno je zasebno raditi na razvoju tjelesne vještine i vještine s rekvizitima. Tijekom uvodno pripremog dijela sata organizira se priprema za elemente koje će gimnastičarka kasnije izvoditi tijekom korištenja rekvizita. Osnovni elementi u ritmičkoj gimnastici su: hodanje, trčanje, plesni koraci, skokovi; zamasi, kruženja, valovita gibanja, osmice, preskoci i skokovi, okreti i piruete,elementi ravnoteže i akrobatike. Ritmička gimnastika je sport u kojemu koriste i rekviziti (vijača, obruč, lopta, čunjevi, traka). Tijekom uvježbavanja tijelo izvodi osnovne prirodne pokrete. Uz glazbu i graciozne pokrete tijela, vježbe s rekvizitima su ono što ritmičku gimnastiku čini posebnom jer doprinosi skladnom razvoju tijela te plijeni svojom ljepotom i atraktivnošću. Svaki rekvizit ima svoje specifičnosti i osobitosti u gibanjima koje se moraju savladati da bi se vježba mogla koreografirati prema zahtjevima Pravilnika ritmičke gimnastike.Kod pokazivanja pojedinih elemenata ili same vježbe trener/ica najprije treba objasniti svrhu i djelovanje vježbe( Krameršek 1952). Metodika poučavanja elemenata ritmičke gimnastike, uči u tri etape: 1. Etapa: „percepcija elementa, stvaranje predodžbe, učenje, otklanjanje pogrešaka, samostalno izvođenje“ (Wolf-Cvitak 2004:136), 2. Etapa: „mnogobrojna ponavljanja, utvrđivanje i usavršavanje motoričkog znanja, povećanje brzine i preciznosti izvođenja elementa sve do automatizacije“ (Wolf-Cvitak 2004:136), 3. Etapa: „nadograđivanje elemenata, izvođenje istog elementa u težnoj varijanti ili u kombinaciji s drugim elementima“ (Wolf-Cvitak 2004:136).Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport that unites arts such as dance and ballet and sports through gymnastic movements. It is a sport thatstimulates the development off all components physical condition for all parts of the body, like muscle strength and endurance. It is important to emphasize that rhythmic gymnastics belongs to the category of individual sports,thereforethe techniques in rhythmic gymnastics are demanding to master. Movement in rhythmic gymnastics requires well-developed motor skills, which are necessary for the acquisition of elements. Also requires the harmony of the movements that accompany the music. It is important separately work on the development of physical skills and skills with props.
During the introductory, preparatory part of the lesson, we are working on the selection of elements which the gymnast will perform later during the use of props. Basic elements used which are used in rhythmic gymnastics are: walking, running, dance steps, jumps, swings, circling, undulating movements, figure eights, skips and jumps, turns and pirouettes, elements of balance and acrobatics. Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport in which props are used (screw, hoop, ball, cones and tape). During training the body performs basic natural movements. With music and graceful body movements,exercises with props makes the rhythmic gymnastics special. It contributes to the harmonious development of the body and captivates with its beauty and attractiveness. Each prop has its own specifics and particularities in movements, which must be mastered in order to be able to choreograph the exercise, according to the requirements of Rulebook of Rhythmic Gymnastics. When showing individual elements of the rhythmic gymnastics manual, or the exercises themselves, the trainer should first explain the purpose and the effect of exercise (Krameršek 1952). The methodology of teaching the elements of rhythmic gymnastics is taught through three stages: 1st stage: "perception of an element, creation of an image, learning, elimination of errors, independent performance (Wolf-Cvitak 2004:136), 2nd stage: "numerous repetitions, determination and improvement of motor skills, increasing the speed and precision of performing the element up to automation" (Wolf-Cvitak 2004:136), 3rd Stage: "upgrading elements, performing the same element in a more difficult variant or in combination with other elements" (Wolf-Cvitak 2004:136)
Monetization of new application
Nakon što su osobna računala, a kasnije i mobilni telefoni svojom pojavom promijenili svijet u kojem živimo, vrlo brzo su to napravile desktop i mobilne aplikacije. Aplikacije su danas važan dio svakodnevnog modernog života. Ogroman broj svjetskog stanovništva posjeduje mobilni uređaj, a s njime su mu dostupni milijuni aplikacija. Bile one besplatne za skidanje ili ne, sve aplikacije mogu ostvarivati zaradu monetizacijom. Monetizacija je proces u kojem se neki proizvod ili usluga pretvara u novac. Monetizacija aplikacije se može postići na mnogo načina, a svaka nova aplikacija na tržištu mora pažljivo odabrati monetizacijsku strategiju koja će joj odgovarati.First personal computers and then mobile phones have changed the world we live in. Desktop and mobile applications did the same very quickly after that. Applications are now an important part of everyday modern life. A huge number of the world's population owns a mobile device, and millions of applications are available with it. Whether they are free to download or not, all applications can earn money through monetization. Monetization is the process in which a product or service is converted into money. App monetization can be achieved in many ways, and every new app on the market must carefully choose a monetization strategy that will work for it
Hydrological changes and drying up of rivers in the Adriatic basin of Croatia
Brane predstavljaju jedan od najznačajnijih utjecaja čovjeka na riječne sustave. Cilj ovog rada bio je odrediti utjecaj hidroelektrana, brana i akumulacija na rijeke u Jadranskom slivu Hrvatske. Za sve rijeke Jadranskog sliva, koje duž svog toka imaju brane i hidroelektrane, provedena je kartografska analiza korištenjem karata mjerila 1:25000. Određene su dužine dijelova toka bez utjecaja hidroelektrane (obično uzvodno od akumulacije), dijela toka koji je pretvoren u akumulaciju (direktni gubitak riječnih staništa) i dijela toka nizvodno od akumulacije (hidrološki utjecaj). U slivu 12 rijeka ukupne dužine toka 472 km, izgradnjom 16 akumulacija je ukupno 77 km (16 %) toka pretvoreno u akumulacije, 134 km toka (28 %) je pod hidrološkim utjecajem hidroelektrana, a 50 km (11 %) je pod ekstremnim hidrološkim utjecajem (tok stalno ili povremeno presušuje). Rijeke Jadranskog sliva u Hrvatskoj su značajno izmijenjene zbog izgradnje brana i akumulacija za potrebe 11 velikih (>10 MW) i šest malih (>10 MW) hidroelektrana. Preostale očuvane dijelove toka rijeka Jadranskog sliva, posebice one na kojima nema drugih utjecaja (npr. crpljenje vode) potrebno je uspješnije zaštiti od daljnjih negativnih utjecaja.Dams represent one of the most significant human impacts on river systems. The aim of this work was to determine the impact of hydroelectric power plants (HPP), dams and reservoirs on rivers in the Adriatic basin of Croatia. For all the rivers of the Adriatic basin, which have dams and HPP along their course, a cartographic analysis was carried out using 1:25000 scale maps. The lengths of the river reaches were determined without the influence of the HPP (usually upstream of the reservoir), as well as the river reaches that were converted into the reservoir (direct loss of river habitats) and the river reaches downstream of the reservoir (hydrological impact). In the basin of 12 rivers with a total river length of 472 km, the construction of 16 reservoirs transformed a total of 77 km (16%) of river length into reservoirs, 134 km of river length (28%) is under the hydrological influence of HPP, and 50 km (11 %) is under extreme hydrological influence (river constantly or occasionally dries up). The rivers of the Adriatic basin in Croatia have been significantly altered due to the construction of dams and reservoirs for the needs of 11 large (>10 MW) and six small (>10 MW) hydropower plants. The remaining preserved parts of the course of the rivers of the Adriatic basin, especially those on which there are no other impacts (e.g. water abstraction), need to be protected from further negative impacts
The impostor phenomenon and self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress
Fenomen uljeza se odnosi na uzorak ponašanja prema kojem kompetentni pojedinci imaju sumnje u vlastite sposobnosti i prisutan je konstantan strah da će biti razotkriveni kao prevaranti. Cilj istraživanja bio je provjeriti odnos fenomena uljeza i samopoštovanja, depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa na uzorku studenata i zaposlenih, te dobiti detaljniji uvid u različite aspekte fenomena uljeza iz perspektive sudionika, preciznije period pojave u životu i situacije javljanja, negativne aspekte te načine nošenja i prevladavanja. Prvi problem bio je provjeriti postoje li razlike između studenata i zaposlenih u intenzitetu obilježja fenomena uljeza, nadalje provjeriti postoje li razlike u depresivnosti, anksioznosti, stresu i samopoštovanju s obzirom na manji i veći intenzitet obilježja fenomena uljeza i konačno kvalitativnim pristupom dobiti detaljan uvid u čimbenike perioda pojave u životu i situacija javljanja fenomena uljeza, negativne aspekte vezane uz fenomen uljeza i čimbenike nošenja i prevladavanja. Istraživanje mješovitog nacrta provedeno je online metodom. Studenti i zaposleni u društvenim znanostima (N=324, dobi M=30.39) su popunjavali Clance ljestvicu fenomena varalice (Čarapina Zovko i sur., 2021), Skalu depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (Reić Ercegovac i Penezić, 2012), Skalu samosviđanja i samokompetencije (Tafarodi i Swann, 1995) te opisna pitanja. Studenti pokazuju veći intenzitet obilježja fenomena uljeza u odnosu na zaposlene. Sudionici koji pokazuju veći intenzitet obilježja fenomena uljeza imaju više razine depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa te niže samopoštovanje u odnosu na sudionike koji pokazuju manji intenzitet obilježja fenomena uljeza. Tri glavne teme kvalitativne analize su period pojave u životu i situacije javljanja, negativni aspekti te čimbenici nošenja i prevladavanja fenomena uljeza.The impostor phenomenon refers to a pattern of behavior in which competent people doubt their abilities and constantly fear being exposed as impostors. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between impostor phenomenon and self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of students and professionals, and to get insight into different aspects of the impostor phenomenon from the perspective of participants, precisely the period in life and the situations of occurrence, negative aspects and coping. The first problem was to check the differences between students and professionals in the intensity of impostor features, secondly to check the differences in depression, anxiety, stress and self-esteem with regard to lower and higher impostor features intensity, and finally to obtain insight through a qualitative approach into the period in life and the situations of occurrence, negative aspects and coping. The mixed-design research was conducted using the online method. Students and professionals in social sciences (N=324, age M=30.39) completed The Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (Čarapina Zovko et al., 2021), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (Reić Ercegovac and Penezić, 2012), the Self-Liking and Self-Competence scale (Tafarodi and Swann, 1995) and descriptive questions. Students show a higher intensity of impostor features compared to employees. Participants who show a higher intensity of the imposter phenomenon features have higher levels of depression, anxiety, stress and lower self-esteem compared to participants who show lower intensity. Three main themes of the qualitative analysis are periods in life and the situations of occurrence, negative aspects, and coping
Dimensions of organisational culture as predictors of organisational commitment in public/state and private work organisations
Organizacijska kultura je važan čimbenik za razumijevanje funkcioniranja radnih organizacija. Neke organizacijske kulture karakterizira veća distanca moći, manja sklonost preuzimanju rizika te sklonost održavanju statusa quo (statično-formalna), dok su druge usmjerene na odnose, povjerenje, otvorenost i autonomiju (dinamično-razvojna). Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je usporediti organizacijsku odanost i organizacijsku kulturu u privatnom i javnom sektoru kao i utvrditi koliko dimenzije organizacijske kulture doprinose objašnjenju organizacijske odanosti kod zaposlenika u privatnom i javnom sektoru. Uzorak ispitanika činilo je 245 žena i 200 muškaraca, od čega je 51,91% sudionika zaposleno u javnom, a 48,09% u privatnom sektoru. Raspon dobi ispitanika kretao se od 18 do 65 godina. U istraživanju su primijenjeni Upitnik organizacijske kulture (Ghosh i Srivastava, 2014), Upitnik organizacijske odanosti (Meyer i sur., 1993) te Upitnik sociodemografskih karakteristika. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da zaposleni u javnim organizacijama svoju organizacijsku kulturu više percipiraju kao statično-formalnu, a zaposleni u privatnim organizacijama kao dinamično-razvojnu. Nisu utvrđene statistički značajne razlike u afektivnoj i normativnoj odanosti između zaposlenih u privatnom i javnom sektoru, dok su zaposleni u javnom sektoru imali više razine instrumentalne odanosti u odnosu na zaposlene u privatnom sektoru. Kao značajni prediktori afektivne odanosti pokazali su se radni staž u organizaciji te dinamično-razvojna dimenzija organizacijske kulture. Sudionici koji duže rade u organizaciji i koji svoju organizacijsku kulturu percipiraju dinamično-razvojnom visoko su afektivno odani svojoj organizaciji. Veličina organizacije, radni staž u organizaciji te dinamično-razvojna dimenzija organizacijske kulture značajno su predviđali normativnu odanost. Sudionici koji duže rade, koji rade u manjim organizacijama te koji svoju organizacijsku kulturu percipiraju dinamično-razvojnom normativno su odaniji organizaciji. Spol, radni staž u organizaciji, sektor i statično-formalna dimenzija organizacijske kulture pokazali su se statistički značajnim prediktorima instrumentalne odanosti. Žene, zaposlenici koje dulje rade u javnom sektoru te koji svoju organizacijsku kulturu percipiraju statično-formalnom imaju visoku instrumentalnu odanost.Organisational culture is an important factor in understanding the functioning of work organisations. Some organisational cultures are characterised by high power distances, less risk taking and status quo tendency (static-formal), while others are oriented towards relationships, trust, openness and autonomy (dynamic-developmental). The aim of this research was to compare organisational commitment and organisational culture in private and public sector and to determine how the dimensions of organisational culture explain organisational commitment among employees in both sectors. The sample was 245 women and 200 men. 51.91% of them worked in the public sector, 48.09% in private. The age range was 18 to 65. The survey consisted of Organisational Culture Questionnaire (Ghosh and Srivastava, 2014), Organisational Commitment Questionnaire (Meyer et al, 1993) and Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire. Results showed that employees in public organisations perceive their organisational culture as static-formal, while employees in private organisations perceive theirs as dynamic-developmental. No statistically significant differences were found in affective and normative commitment between both sectors, while the employees in the public sector had higher levels of continuance commitment compared to employees in the private sector. Significant predictors of affective commitment were the length of service and the dynamic-developmental dimension of organisational culture. People who have worked longer and who perceive their organisational culture as dynamic-developmental are highly affectively committed to their organisation. The size of the organisation, the length of service and dynamic-developmental dimension of organisational culture significantly predicted normative commitment. People who have worked longer in smaller organisations, who perceive their organisational culture as dynamic-developmental are normatively more committed to the organisation. Gender, length of service in the organisation, sector and static-formal dimension of organisational culture proved to be statistically significant predictors of continuance commitment. Women, employees who have worked longer in the public sector, and who perceive their organisational culture as static-formal, have high continuance commitment
The role of fashion interest in the relationship between personality traits and wearing T-shirts with different types of inscriptions
Lišnić (2020) je u kvalitativnom istraživanju utvrdila važan aspekt odijevanja mladih (nošenje odjeće sa simboličkim značenjem i kako ono utječe na njihove kognitivne procese, osjećaje i ponašanje), pa je bilo potrebno kvantitativnim istraživanjem dodatno istražiti neke od utvrđenih odnosa između osobnih i kontekstualnih odrednica procesa odijevanja. Stoga su u ovom istraživanju ispitani odnosi između sociodemografskih karakteristika, osobina ličnosti modela Velikih pet (ekstraverzije, ugodnosti, savjesnosti, emocionalne stabilnosti, intelekta), modnog interesa (eksperimentiranja s odjećom i izgledom u svrhu izražavanja individualnosti, konformizma, odijevanja odjeće koja doprinosi osjećaju sigurnosti), modne osviještenosti i preferencija odijevanja majica s različitom vrstom natpisa (šaljivi natpisi, vulgarni i provokativni natpisi, natpisi osobnih stavova, natpisi citata iz filmova, knjiga, pjesama i sl., personalizirani natpisi i natpisi brendova). Podaci su prikupljeni online anketom koja je uključivala sljedeće mjerne instrumente: Skalu IPIP-BFM-50 (Mlačić i Goldberg, 2007), Skalu modnog interesa (Gurel i Gurel, 1979), Skalu modne osviještenosti (Nam i sur., 2007) i niz tvrdnji za ispitivanje preferencije različitih vrsta natpisa na majicama (kreirane za ovo istraživanje). U istraživanju su sudjelovali studenti različitih smjerova i godina studija u Republici Hrvatskoj, točnije 229 (30,5%) sudionika i 522 (69,5%) sudionica. Prosječna dob bila je 22,5 godine (Sd= 3,17), a raspon godina od 18 do 40 godina. Dobiveni rezultati ukazali su na statistički značajne razlike između muškaraca i žena. Sudionici su emocionalno stabilniji, a sudionice ekstrovertiranije i ugodnije. Osim toga, jednako su savjesni i intelektualni/otvoreni. Nadalje, sudionice više eksperimentiraju odjećom i izgledom u svrhu izražavanja individualnosti, više konformiraju s društvenom okolinom, više odijevaju odjeću koja doprinosi osjećaju sigurnosti, više su modno osviještene, više preferiraju humoristične natpise na majicama, natpise osobnih stavova te citate iz različitih filmova, knjiga, pjesama i sl.) u odnosu na sudionike. Nadalje, utvrđene su statistički značajne razlike za intelekt i konformizam s obzirom na preferenciju odijevanja majica s natpisom. Ukratko, oni koji preferiraju majice s natpisom manje su otvoreni, maštoviti, znatiželjni i više se konformiraju od onih koji ne vole nositi majice sa sloganom. Hijerarhijskim regresijskim analizama provjereno je koliko su osobine ličnosti, modni interes i modna osviještenost prediktivne za preferencije nošenja različitih natpisa na majicama. Utvrđene su značajne povezanosti između ispitivanih varijabli. Ugodniji sudionici/ce više preferiraju majice s humorističkim natpisima. Oni manje savjesni, manje ugodni i koji više vole eksperimentirati odjećom i izgledom u svrhu izražavanja individualnosti, više preferiraju odijevanje majica s vulgarnim i provokativnim natpisima. Sudionici/ce koji imaju viši rezultat na otvorenosti k iskustvu više preferiraju majice s natpisima osobnih stavova, dok sudionici/ce koji imaju viši rezultat na ugodnosti više preferiraju majice s natpisima citata iz filmova, knjiga, pjesama. Nadalje, sudionici/ce koji su ugodniji i više se konformiraju s društvenom okolinom, više preferiraju odijevanje majica s personaliziranim natpisima. Zaključno, mlađi, više ekstrovertirani, više savjesni, oni koji se više konformiraju i više su modno osviješteni, više će preferirati majice s natpisima brendova.In qualitative research, Lišnić (2020) found an important aspect of young people's clothing (wearing clothes with symbolic meaning and how it affects their cognitive processes, feelings, and behavior). Therefore, it was necessary to investigate some of the established relationships between personal and contextual determinants of the dressing process through quantitative research, which was done in this research. More specifically, the relationships between sociodemographic characteristics, personality traits of the Big Five model (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, intellect), fashion interest (experimenting with clothes and appearance to express individuality, conformity, wearing clothes that contribute to a sense of security), fashion awerness and preferences for wearing t-shirts with different types of inscriptions (humorous, vulgar and provocative, inscriptions of personal views, inscriptions of quotes from movies, books, songs, ect., personalized inscriptions and inscriptions of brands) were examined. The data was collected through an online survey that was composed of the following measuring instruments: IPIP-BFM-50 Scale (Mlačić and Goldberg, 2007), Fashion Interest Scale (Gurel and Gurel, 1979), Fashion Awareness Scale (Nam et al., 2007) and items for examining the preference of different types of inscriptions on T-shirts that were created for this research. Students of various fields and years of study in the Republic of Croatia participated in this research (229 (30.5%) male and 522 (69.5%) female participants). Their average age was 22.5 (Sd= 3.17), and age range was from 18 to 40 years. The obtained results indicated that male participants are more emotionally stable, and female participants are more extroverted and pleasant. In addition, they are equally conscientious and intellectual/open. Also, female participants were more fashion-interested in all three subfactors, more fashion-conscious, preferred humorous inscriptions on T-shirts, inscriptions of personal attitudes, and quotes from different movies, books and songs compared to male participants. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found for intellect and conformity according to the preference of wearing t-shirts with an inscription. In short, those who prefer slogan T-shirts are less open, imaginative, and curious and conform more than those who do not prefer wearing slogan T-shirts. Regarding the statistically significant predictive contributions of the mentioned variables for a particular type of inscription, the following was determined. More pleasant participants prefer t-shirts with humorous inscriptions. Less conscientious, less comfortable and more experimenting with clothing and appearance to express individuality prefer wearing t-shirts with vulgar and provocative inscriptions. Participants with a higher score on openness to experience prefer T-shirts with inscriptions of personal attitudes, while participants with a higher score on pleasantness prefer T-shirts with inscriptions of quotes from movies, books, and songs. Furthermore, participants who are more comfortable and conform more to the social environment, prefer wearing T-shirts with personalized inscriptions. In conclusion, younger, more extroverted, more conscientious, those who conform more and are more fashion conscious, will prefer t-shirts with brand inscriptions
Geographical Determinants of the Quality of Life in the Croat-Roma Settlements of Međimurje County
Kvaliteta života pojam je za koji ne postoji općeprihvaćena definicija već je svaka znanost definira na svoj način. Geografski gledano, ona se definira kao prostor koji je pogodan za život te koji ispunjava temeljne ljudske potrebe. Glavni cilj diplomskog rada je ispitati kvalitetu života u tri odabrana hrvatsko-romska naselja Međimurske županije (Pribislavec, Orehovica, Mala Subotica). Za potrebe istraživanja odabrana su ona naselja u kojem je udio Roma u ukupnom stanovništvu najveći. Da bi se ispitala kvaliteta života provedeno je anketnog istraživanje. Tako se većinsko stanovništvo ispitivalo koliko su zadovoljni prirodnim okolišem, socijalnim odnosima, sigurnošću i rizikom izloženosti kriminalu u njihovu mjestu stanovanju. Anketnim istraživanjem došlo se do podataka da je kvaliteta života u hrvatsko-romskim naseljima narušena te da je hrvatsko i romsko stanovništvo u lošim socijalnim odnosima. Jedan od glavnih problema koji se javlja je prostorna odvojenost romske nacionalne manjine ima štetan utjecaj na ekonomske i sociokulturne faktore njihova života. U radu su postavljene četiri hipoteze. H1 (Hrvatsko stanovništvo u hrvatsko-romskim naseljima nezadovoljno je kvalitetom života) i H3 (Hrvatsko stanovništvo se u hrvatsko-romskim naseljima ne osjeća sigurno) nisu potvrđene, dok su H2 (Kvalitetom života najmanje je zadovoljno stanovništvo u naselju Pribislavec) i H4 (Negativan utjecaj Roma na prirodni okoliš najmanje je izražen u naselju Orehovica) potvrđene.Quality of life is a term for which there is no universally accepted definition, but each science defines it in its own way. Geographically, it is defined as a space that is suitable for life and which fulfills basic human needs. The main aim of the thesis is to examine the quality of life in three selected Croat-Roma settlements of Međimurje County (Pribislavec, Orehovica, Mala Subotica). The settlements where the share of the Roma national minority in the total population is the largest were selected for the purposes of the research. In order to examine the quality of life, a survey was conducted. Thus, the major Croatian population was asked how satisfied they were with the natural environment, social relations, safety and the risk of exposure to crime in their place of residence. Survey research revealed that the quality of life in Croat-Roma settlements is impaired and that the Croat and Roma population are in poor social relations. One of the main problems that arises is the spatial separation and marginal position of members of the Roma national minority. Such spatial separation of the Roma national minority has a harmful effect on the economic and sociocultural factors of their lives. Four hypotheses are set in the paper. H1 (Croatian population in Croat-Roma settlements is dissatisfied with the quality of life) and H3 (Croatian population does not feel safe in Croat-Roma settlements) were not confirmed, while H2 (The population in the settlement of Pribislavec is the least satisfied with the quality of life) and H4 (The population in the settlement of Orehovica is the least dissatisfied with the influence of Roma national minority on the natural environment) were confirmed
Latent structure of tests of motor abilities of male and female students in the third grade
Istraživanje latentne strukture testova motoričkih sposobnosti učenika i učenica trećeg
razreda provedeno je na učenicima trećih razreda koji pohađaju osnovnu školu „dr. Jure
Turića“ u gradu Gospiću. Treće razrede pohađa 20 učenika i 40 učenica, a prema dobi
podijeljeni u rasponu od 8 do 10 godina. Sudionici istraživanja redovito su pohađali nastavu
Tjelesnog i Zdravstvenog odgoja. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi razlike antropoloških
obilježja za utvrđivanje strukture testova motoričkih sposobnosti učenika trećeg razreda.
Uzorak varijabli korišten u istraživanju sastoji se od šest testova koji obuhvaćaju antropološka
obilježja učenika. Tijekom istraživanja dobiveni su rezultati obrađeni metodama deskriptivne
statistike i provjereni su testovi motoričkih sposobnosti. Faktorskom analizom metodom
glavnih komponenata i primjenom GK-kriterija izdvojeni su faktori transformirani okomitom
rotacijom po Varimax normalized kriteriju te je određen broj glavnih komponenta.
Rezultatima su utvrđene razlike između učenika i učenica razredne nastave u prostoru
latentnih dimenzija testova motoričkih sposobnosti. Rezultati ukazuju da statističke varijable
korištene u istraživanju značajno ne odstupaju od normalne distribucije. Istraživanjem su
utvrđene dvije latentne dimenzije. Prva latentna dimenzija je latentna struktura testova
motoričkih sposobnosti za fleksibilnost, a druga latentna dimenzija latentna struktura testova
motoričkih sposobnosti za eksplozivnu snagu.Research on the latent structure of tests of motor abilities of third-grade students was
conducted on third-grade students who attend the elementary school "dr. Jure Turić" in the
town of Gospić. The third grade is attended by 20 male and 40 female students, and according
to their age, they are divided into the range of 8 to 10 years.The research participants
regularly attended Physical Education and Health Education classes. The aim of the research
was to determine the differences in anthropological characteristics for determining the
structure of tests of motor skills of third graders. The sample of variables used in the research
consists of six tests that cover the students anthropological characteristics. During the
research, the obtained results were processed using the methods of descriptive statistics and
tests of motor skills were checked. Factor analysis using the method of principal components
and the application of the GK-criterion were used to extract factors transformed by vertical
rotation according to the Varimax normalized criterion, and the number of principal
components was determined. The results determined the differences between male and female
students in classroom teaching in the area of latent dimensions of motor ability tests. The
results indicate that the statistical variables used in the research do not deviate significantly
from the normal distribution. The research determined two latent dimensions. The first latent
dimension is the latent structure of motor ability tests for flexibility, and the second latent
dimension is the latent structure of motor ability tests for explosive strength
