    Ce travail explore la motivation et les facteurs influençant le choix des élèves croates d’apprendre le français comme langue étrangère (FLE) dans le contexte scolaire. L’introduction souligne l’importance de la motivation dans l’éducation et les défis rencontrés par les enseignants de FLE, notamment face à la dominance de l’anglais. Le texte examine le cadre institutionnel de l’apprentissage du français en Croatie, notant une baisse d’intérêt pour cette langue au cours des dernières décennies, influencée par des facteurs socio-politiques et l’impact des médias. Une partie théorique, fondée sur des études de motivation, analyse diverses influences sur le choix de la langue, y compris l’importance de l’enseignant et des manuels, le rôle des parents, ainsi que l’intérêt culturel. Une recherche empiriquement fondée est réalisée auprès de 81 élèves afin d’identifier les motivations pour suivre des cours de FLE, mettant en avant la beauté de la langue et le développement personnel comme principaux moteurs. Les avantages que les élèves perçoivent découlent de leurs aspirations académiques et professionnelles, notamment en ce qui concerne les perspectives d’emploi. Les résultats de l’enquête révèlent des attitudes nuancées vis-à-vis de l’influence des parents et des enseignants, indiquant une tendance vers l'autonomie dans le choix linguistique. Par ailleurs, la qualité de l’enseignement est soulignée comme importante pour l’engagement des élèves envers le FLE. En conclusion, le travail met en lumière la dynamique entre appétence culturelle et considérations pratiques, tout en suggérant que, pour améliorer l’attractivité du français, un renforcement de l‘apprentissage culturel et l’adoption de méthodes innovantes d’enseignement seraient bénéfiques. Les recommandations pour de futures recherches incluent l’exploration des raisons pour lesquelles certains élèves choisissent d’autres langues.Ovaj rad istražuje motivaciju i čimbenike koji utječu na izbor hrvatskih učenika za učenje francuskog kao stranog jezika (FLE) u školama. U uvodu se ističe važnost motivacije u obrazovanju i izazovi s kojima se susreću profesori FLE-a, posebice u svjetlu dominacije engleskog jezika. U radu se propituje institucionalni okvir za učenje francuskog jezika u Hrvatskoj, pri čemu se uočava pad interesa za taj jezik u posljednjim desetljećima pod utjecajem društveno-političkih čimbenika i utjecaja medija. Teorijski dio, temeljen na studijama motivacije, analizira različite utjecaje na izbor jezika, uključujući važnost učitelja i udžbenika, ulogu roditelja, kao i kulturni interes. Empirijski utemeljeno istraživanje provedeno je na uzorku od 81 učenika s ciljem otkrivanja motivacija za pohađanje nastave francuskog kao stranog jezika, pri čemu su ljepota jezika i osobni razvoj prepoznati kao glavni motivacijski čimbenici. Prednosti koje učenici vide proizlaze iz njihovih akademskih i karijernih težnji, posebno u pogledu izgleda za zapošljavanje. Rezultati istraživanja otkrivaju nijansirane stavove o utjecaju roditelja i učitelja pri čemu se primjećuje tendencija prema samostalnom odabiru jezika. Osim toga, kvaliteta nastave pokazala se važnom za motiviranost učenika u učenju ili nastavku učenja francuskog jezika. Zaključno, rad naglašava dinamiku između kulturnih interesa i praktičnih razloga, uz sugestiju da bi jačanje kulturnih sadržaja i primjena inovativnih metoda podučavanja moglo povećati privlačnost francuskog jezika. Preporuke za buduća istraživanja uključuju ispitivanje razloga zbog kojih neki učenici odabiru druge strane jezike kao izborne predmete u hrvatskim školama.This work explores the motivation and factors influencing Croatian students’ choice to learn French as a foreign language (FLE) in the school context. The introduction highlights the importance of motivation in education and the challenges faced by FLE teachers, particularly in the face of the dominance of English. The work examines the institutional framework of French learning in Croatia, noting a decline in interest in this language in recent decades, influenced by socio-political factors and the impact of the media. A theoretical part, based on motivational studies, analyses various influences on language choice, including the importance of the teacher and textbooks, the role of parents, as well as cultural interest. Empirically based research is conducted with 81 students to identify motivations for taking FLE courses, highlighting the beauty of the language and personal development as the main drivers. The benefits that students perceive stem from their academic and professional aspirations, particularly about employment prospects. The survey results reveal nuanced attitudes towards the influence of parents and teachers, indicating a trend towards autonomy in language choice. Furthermore, the quality of teaching is highlighted as an important factor for students’ engagement with FLE. In conclusion, the work highlights the dynamic between cultural appetite and practical considerations, while suggesting that to improve the attractiveness of French, a reinforcement of cultural learning and innovative teaching methods would be beneficial. Recommendations for future research include an exploration of the reasons why some students choose other languages

    Ovaj diplomski rad analizira ruske narodne bajke kroz teorijski okvir Vladimira Proppa, s naglaskom na strukturu priče, likove i njihove funkcije. U uvodnom dijelu rada objašnjena je etimologija i značenje pojma „bajka“, kao i osnovne karakteristike koje je čine specifičnim književnim oblikom. Središnji dio rada posvećen je Proppovoj teoriji o morfologiji bajki, koja bajke promatra kroz funkcije likova koje se ponavljaju i univerzalne obrasce radnje. U radu se analizira kako se ti teorijski koncepti primjenjuju na ruske narodne bajke, na primjeru bajki „Perce Finista sokola“, „Vasilica Prekrasna“ i „Princeza-žaba“, pri čemu se proučavaju uloge likova kao što su junaci, protivnici, darivatelji i pomoćnici, te njihov doprinos narativnoj dinamici. Zaključuje se da bajke, iako jednostavne po strukturi, prenose važne kulturne vrijednosti i simboličke motive, te da imaju univerzalne obrasce koji ih povezuju s drugim narodnim pričama širom svijeta.This master’s thesis studies Russian fairytales of folk origin through the theoretical framework of Vladimir Propp, with an emphasis on story structure, characters, and their functions. The introductory part of the paper explains the etymology and meaning of the term fairytale, as well as the basic characteristics that make it a specific literary form. The main part of the paper focuses on Propp's theory of morphology of the fairytales, which observes them through the recurring functions of characters and universal plot patterns. The thesis analyses how these theoretical concepts are applied to Russian folk tales “The Feather of Finist the Falcon,“ “Vasilisa the Beautiful” and “The Frog Princess” while studying the roles of characters such as heroes, adversaries, givers and assistants, and their contribution to the narrative dynamics. It is concluded that fairytales, although simple in structure, convey important cultural values and symbolic motifs, and that they have universal patterns that connect them with other fairytales around the world

Metode: istraţivanje je provedeno retrospektivno, a podaci su prikupljeni iz bolniĉkog informacijskog sustava (BIS) pacijenata hospitaliziranih na odjelu gastroenterologije OB Šibensko-kninske ţupanije. Za statistiĉku analizu je korišten statistiĉki software STATISTICA 12, Tibco, Kalifornija. Rezultati: prikupljeni su podaci za 108 pacijenata. Alkohol je uzrok ciroze jetre u 58,33 % ispitanika, a u 41,67 % ispitanika etiologija ciroze jetre je nealkoholna. Ascites je bio najĉešće javljana komplikacija kojeg je razvilo 54,62 % ispitanika, dok je najrjeĊa bio hepatorenalni sindrom kojega je imalo svega 2,78 % ispitanika. U skupini ispitanika s alkoholnom cirozom jetre, njih 68,25 % imalo je ascites, 38,09 % varikozitete jednjaka, 38,09 % koagulopatiju, 26,98 % ţuticu, 26,98 % jetrenu encefalopatiju, 4,76 % hepatorenalni sindrom, 50,79 % portalnu hipertenziju te 6,34 % hepatocelularni karcinom. U skupini ispitanika s nealkoholnim uzrocima ciroze jetre, njih 35,56 % imalo je ascites, 13,33 % varikozitet jednjaka, 17,78 % koagulopatiju, 35,56 % ţuticu, 4,44 % jetrenu encefalopatiju, 0 % hepatorenalni sindrom, 13,33 % portalnu hipertenziju te 2,22 % hepatocelularni karcinom. Zaključak: ovim istraţivanjem pokazalo se da je alkohol znaĉajniji uzrok jetrene ciroze u muškoj populaciji, kao i da taj oblik ciroze dovodi do ĉešće pojave komplikacija, što je u skladu s navodima iz literature.Aim: research aim is to collect and analyze data on patients’ who were treated for liver cirrhosis in the General Hospital of Sibenik-Knin County at the Department of Gastroenterology in the period from 1 st of January 2019 until 31st of December 2021, in order to examine the resulting complications and their differences in relation to the etiology of liver cirrhosis. Methods: research was conducted retrospectively, and the data were collected from the hospital information system (BIS) of patients hospitalized at the gastroenterology department of the OB of Sibenik-Knin County. For statistical analysis was used Statistical software STATISTICA 12, Tibco, California. Results: data were collected for 108 patients. Alcohol is the cause of liver cirrhosis in 58.33 % of respondents, and in 41.67 % of respondents, the etiology of liver cirrhosis is nonalcoholic. Ascites was the most frequently reported complication developed by 54.62 % of subjects, while the rarest was hepatorenal syndrome, which was experienced by only 2.78 % of subjects. In the group of subjects with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, 68.25 % had ascites, 38.09 % esophageal varices, 38.09 % coagulopathy, 26.98 % jaundice, 26.98 % hepatic encephalopathy, 4.76 % hepatorenal syndrome, 50.79 % portal hypertension and 6.34 % hepatocellular carcinoma.

    U radu su obuhvaćeni avarodobni lokaliteti i nalazi s područja grada Vinkovaca, uključujući i kvart Vinkovačko Novo Selo, njegove uže okolice (sela Mirkovci, Andrijaševci, Jarmina i Nuštar) te šire okolice (sela Privlaka i Stari Jankovci). Većina nalaza iz ovog perioda povijesti navedenog područja usko se povezuju uz groblja. U Nuštru, Privlaci i Starim Jankovcima pronađena su kosturna groblja na redove u kojima se ukopavaju pripadnici avarskog, ali i slavenskog stanovništva. Na lokalitetima je primijećeno prilaganje kostiju životinja te keramike u grobovima bez obzira na spol i dob koja su protumačena kao dar pokojniku za zagrobni život ili su usko povezana uz pogrebne rituale kojima se iskazivala počast pokojniku. U muškim grobovima uz odjeću i pripadajuće dijelove nošnje, poput pojasnih garnitura, pronađeni su komadi nakita te oruđe i oružje u manjim količinama. U ženskim grobovima uz nakit zapaženo je prilaganje oruđa poput keramičkih pršljenaca i koštanih iglenica. U Vinkovcima je naveden primjer paljevinskog slavenskog groblja u urnama koji u skladu s običajima ovog dijela stanovništva nema puno priloga. Uglavnom se radi o komadima željeza (primjer dječjeg groba 4). Pokojnici nisu spaljivani na samom lokalitetu, nego negdje u blizini groblja. Jedini primjer potvrđenog naselja jest ono s lokaliteta Stari Jankovci-Gatina koje se nalazi neposredno uz navedeno groblje. Stanovništvo na ovom području živi mirnim načinom života. Provedenim analizama nisu uočeni tragovi nasilnih ozljeda na kostima. Uzgajaju se žitarice poput ječma, prosa, a kasnije pšenice i uzgajaju se životinje. Zaključak ovog rada jest postojanje zajednica Avara i Slavena koji žive u simbiozi na širem području Vinkovaca, sve dok previranja i sukobi s Franačkom nisu doveli do propadanja i nestanka Avarskog Kaganata te posljedično asimilacije Avara sa slavenskim stanovništvom.The work includes archaeological sites and finds from the area of the town of Vinkovci, including the Vinkovačko Novo Selo neighborhood, its immediate surroundings (the villages of Mirkovci, Andrijaševci, Jarmina and Nuštar) and the wider surroundings (the villages of Privlaka and Stari Jankovci). Most of the finds from this period of the history of the mentioned area are closely associated with cemeteries. In Nuštar, Privlaka and Stari Jankovci, skeleton cemeteries were found in rows where members of the Avar and Slavic population were buried. In the localities, it was noticed that animal bones and ceramics were placed in graves regardless of gender and age, which were interpreted as a gift to the deceased for the afterlife or were closely related to funeral rituals that paid tribute to the deceased. In men's graves, along with clothes and related parts of traditional wear, such as belt sets, pieces of jewelry, tools and weapons in smaller quantities were found. In women's graves, along with jewelry, tools such as ceramic vertebrae and bone objects for storage of needles were observed. In Vinkovci, there is an example of the Slavic cremation cemetery in urns, which, in accordance with the customs of this part of the population, does not have many items, mostly pieces of iron (example of child's grave 4). The deceased were not cremated on the site itself, but somewhere near the cemetery. The only example of a confirmed settlement is the one from the site Stari Jankovci - Gatina, which is located right next to the mentioned cemetery. The population in this area lives a peaceful lifestyle, no traces of violent injuries were observed on the bones. Cereals such as barley, millet, and later wheat are grown and animals are raised. The conclusion of this paper is the existence of Avar and Slavic communities living in symbiosis in the wider area of Vinkovci, until turmoil and conflicts with the Frankish Empire led to the collapse and disappearance of the Avar Khaganate and, consequently, the assimilation of the Avars with the Slavic population

    U ovom završnom radu daje se opis školovanja glagoljaša u Dalmaciji. U prvim poglavljima opisano je sve što su đaci morali učiti u sjemeništima i na koje načine su bili poučavani. Također su prikazane njihove obaveze izvan crkve, posebice ako su živjeli na seoskom gospodarstvu. Iako ekonomska situacija tog vremena nije bila najbolja, Crkva im je uspijevala pružiti određenu pomoć. U idućem dijelu navedene su dobne granice za pristupanje u sjemenište i opći program učenja. Sljedeće poglavlje fokusira se na glagoljaše kao pisce, prepisivače i notare. Nakon toga obrađena je podjela glagoljice u Zadarskoj nadbiskupiji u tri perioda od kojih je svaki zasebno objašnjen. Za razdoblje zlatnog doba glagoljice posebno je značajno otvaranje visokoškolske ustanove Studium generale, kasnije nazvane Universitas Jaderatina. Zadar je bio središte glagoljice od 15. do 19. stoljeća. Opisan je nastanak glagoljaških sjemeništa „Vicko Zmajević“ i sjemeništa na Priku u crkvi sv. Petra. Prikazano je djelovanje poljičkih popova glagoljaša na prostoru bivše Poljičke Republike i njihove migracije na otoke poput Brača, Šolte i Čiova. U posljednjem poglavlju riječ je o franjevcima trećoredcima, koji su koristili glagoljski časoslov sve do 1965. godine kao znak njihove predanosti.The main idea of this thesis is to describe the education of Glagolitic priests in Dalmatia. The first chapters cover everything students had to learn in seminaries and the methods used in their instruction. Their duties outside the church are also described, especially if they lived on a rural estate. Although the economic situation of that time was not ideal, the Church managed to provide some support. The next section lists the age requirements for entering the seminary and outlines the general curriculum. The following chapter focuses on Glagolitic priests as writers, scribes, and notaries. After that, there is a division of the Glagolitic tradition in the Archdiocese of Zadar into three periods, each separately explained. For the golden age of Glagolitic script, the establishment of the higher education institution Studium generale, later called Universitas Jaderatina, is particularly significant. Zadar was the center of Glagolitic culture from the 15th to the 19th century. Also described are the origins of the Glagolitic seminaries "Vicko Zmajević" and the seminary at Priko in the church of St. Peter. The thesis examines the activities of the Glagolitic priests of Poljica within the former Poljica Republic and their migrations to islands such as Brač, Šolta, and Čiovo. The final chapter discusses the Third Order Franciscans, who used the Glagolitic breviary until 1965 as a sign of their devotion

    U završnome radu analizira se pjesnička zbirka Z' mojih bregov Frana Galovića. Zahvaljujući njemu i drugim autorima koji su pisali na kajkavskom dijalektu, upoznajemo se s dijalektalnim pjesništvom. Iako je umro mlad i stvarao je samo desetak godina, svejedno je za sobom ostavio bogat književni opus. Na početku rada istaknuto je dijalektalno pjesništvo, upoznajemo se s Galovićevim radom pa su kasnije analizirane i interpretirane pjesme iz zbirke. Budući da su pjesme nastale u 1913. i 1914. godini, a tada je Galović boravio u očevu vinogradu, prepoznajemo i autobiografske motive. Pjesme su, između ostalog, analizirane i na temelju osnovnih motiva koji se provlače u cijeloj zbirci, a to su: idiličan rodni kraj, tjeskoba, prolaznost, usamljenost, predosjećaj i slutnja smrti.In final paper have been analysed Fran Galović's collection of poems Z' mojih bregov. Thanks to him and other authors who have written in kajkavian dialect, we get acquainted with dialectal poetry. Even though he died in very young age and his creating period lasted only for about ten years, he had left behind a rich literary opus. At the beginning of this paper is emphasized dialectal poetry, we get acquainted with Galović's work, and later in the paper poems and collections are analysed and interpreted. Since poems were written in 1913 and 1914, when Galović was staying in his father's vineyard, we can recognize autobiographical motives. Among other things, the poems had been analysed on the basis of the basic motives that we can see in the entire collection. These motives are: idyllic birthplace, anxiety, ephemerality, loneliness, premonition and foreboding of death

    LGB+ osobe se suočavaju s jedinstvenim izazovima koji značajno utječu na njihovo mentalno zdravlje. Česti susreti s diskriminacijom te specifični životni uvjeti ove populacije bude interes za dubljim razumijevanjem prepreka s kojima se susreću te na koje načine i kojim alatima se može podržati i rasteretiti LGB+ osobe. Svrha istraživanja je bila ispitati razlike između različitih psihosocijalnih faktora (usredotočene svjesnosti i otpornosti) te aspekata mentalnog zdravlja (depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa) među članovima LGB+ zajednice i heteroseksualne populacije te koliko usredotočena svjesnost i otpornost doprinose objašnjenju kriterija mentalnog zdravlja. Također, ispitati individualne razlike članova LGB+ zajednice s obzirom na otvorenost prema vlastitom seksualnom identitetu (out ili u ormaru) i seksualnoj orijentaciji (biseksualne ili homoseksualne). Dosadašnja istraživanja su pokazala da veći stupanj usredotočene svjesnosti i otpornosti može značajno smanjiti negativne učinke manjinskog stresa i diskriminacije, poboljšavajući mentalno zdravlje. Pri provedbi istraživanja koristile su se sljedeće skale: Mjera zadovoljstva životom jednom česticom, Petofacetni upitnik usredotočene svjesnosti, Kratka skala otpornosti i Skala depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (DASS-21). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 150 heteroseksualnih i 82 neheteroseksualne osoba. Rezultati su pokazali da se heteroseksualna i neheteroseksualna populacija ne razlikuju u razinama usredotočene svjesnosti, otpornosti, te mentalnom zdravlju. No, utvrđeno je da su LGB+ osobe koje su otvorenije oko vlastitiog seksualnog identiteta usredotočeno svjesnije od onih koje isti skrivaju. Nadasve, isto vrijedi za homoseksualne osobe naspram biseksualnih. Osim toga, na LGB+ populaciji se utvrdila međusobna pozitivna povezanost varijabli usredotočene svjesnosti, otpornosti i dobi te njihova negativna povezanost s varijablama mentalnog zdravlja (depresivnost, anksioznost i stres) koje su međusobno visoko pozitivno povezane. Na kraju, rezultati regresijske analize pokazuju da su usredotočena svjesnost i otpornost značajno doprinijele objašnjenju kriterija mentalnog zdravlja. Razumijevanje ovih odnosa može pomoći u razvoju ciljanih intervencija za podršku LGB+ zajednici, pružajući im alate za bolje suočavanje s izazovima i povećanje kvalitete života.LGB+ people face unique challenges that significantly affect their mental health. Frequent encounters with discrimination and the specific living conditions of this population arouse interest in a deeper understanding of the obstacles they face and tools that may help support LGB+ people. The purpose of the research was to examine the diffferences between various psychosocial factors (mindfulness and resilience) and aspects of mental health (depression, anxiety and stress) among members of the LGB+ community and the heterosexual population, and how much mindfulness and resilience contribute to the explanation of mental health criteria. Also, examining whether there are differences in mindfulness, resilience and mental health depending on their openness about sexual identity and the type of their sexual orientation (bisexual or homosexual). Previous research has shown that a greater degree of mindfulness and resilience can significantly reduce the negative effects of minority stress and discrimination, improving mental health and life satisfaction. The following scales were used during the measurement: Single-Item Life Satisfaction Measurement, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Brief Resilience Scale and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). In total, 150 heterosexuals and 82 non-heterosexuals participated in the research. The results showed that heterosexual and non-heterosexual populations did not differ in levels of mindfulness, resilience and mental health. However, LGB+ people who are open about their sexual identity have been found to be more mindful than those who are hiding it. Same goes for homosexual people when compared with bisexuals. Moreover, in the LGB+ population, there was a positive correlation found between the variables of mindfulness, resilience and age which all ended up simultaneously negativly correlated with the variables of mental health (depression, anxiety and stress), that are mutually highly positively correlated. In the end, mindfulness and resilience The results of the regression analysis showed that mindfulness and resilience significantly contributed to the explanation of mental health criteria. Understanding these relationships can help develop targeted interventions to support the LGB+ community, providing them with tools to better face challenges and increase the quality of their lives

    Umjetna inteligencija kao specifična vrsta inteligencije dio je računalne znanosti koja se bavi izradom inteligentnih strojeva i računalnih programa. Poslovno odlučivanje je proces donošenja odluka u poslovnom okruženju u kojem najvažniju ulogu imaju menadžeri. Menadžeri moraju moći sagledavati šire slike stanja, predviđati i donositi ispravne odluke kako bi se spriječili problemi. Zbog nedostatka informacija i vremena, psiholoških prepreka i ograničenih kapaciteta procesuiranja informacija često se donose iracionalne odluke. Radi donošenja što boljih investicijskih odluka razvile su se različite strategije trgovanja, a s umjetnom inteligencijom razvile su se i nove suvremene strategije koje poboljšavaju trgovanje. Razvijeni su algoritmi koji iznimno velikom brzinom mogu analizirati velike količine podataka što uvelike pomaže trgovcima jer takva sposobnost nadilazi ljudske sposobnosti.Artificial intelligence is a specific form of intelligence. It represents a part of computer science that deals with the development of intelligent machines and computer programs. Business decision-making is the process of making decisions in a business environment where managers play a crucial role and must have certain abilities, such as seeing the bigger picture, predicting, and making decisions to prevent potential problems. People often make irrational decisions due to lack of information, time, psychological barriers, and limited information processing capacities. There are various traditional trading strategies that provide traders with insights into market trends and behavior. With artificial intelligence, new modern strategies have evolved and improved trading. Algorithms have been developed with the ability to analyze large amounts of data at a very high speed, greatly assisting traders by exceeding human capabilities

Predstavljena je povijesna važnost grada Zadra, kao i važnost zaštite njegove graditeljske baštine s posebnim naglaskom na mogući suvremeni način predstavljanja Foruma, kao antičkoga glavnoga trga na kojem se odvijao tadanji javni život grada. Rad je koncipiran u osam poglavlja. U uvodnom djelu prikazan je povijesni pregled nastanka grada Zadra i njegovih dijelova uključujući i Forum. Definicije i objašnjenja temeljnih pojmova iz područja povijesti umjetnosti i arheologije kao što su kapitolij, forum, taberne itd. uz detaljne opise navedenih dijelova tadanje gradske arhitekture, sadrži četvrto poglavlje. Središnji dio rada odnosi se na predstavljanje zaštite kulturnoga dobra kroz zakonsku regulativu. U ovom dijelu rada predstavljena su i mišljenja i stavovi poznatih arheologa, povjesničara umjetnosti, arhitekata i drugih stručnjaka iz područja zaštite spomenika kulture od 19. stoljeća do danas prikazujući načine vrjednovanja i postupke zaštite kulturnih spomenika, kao što su npr. biološka i aktivna zaštita. U istom je poglavlju dan prikaz stavova ali i oprečnih mišljena pojedinih stručnjaka i pasioniranih zaljubljenika povijesti umjetnosti i grada Zadra o važnosti njegovih antičkih (Forum) i srednjovjekovnih zdanja (sv. Donat) i njihova međusobna graditeljskoga prožimanja. U posljednjem poglavlju predstavljena su neka vlastita autorska promišljanja i ideje vezane za bolju promociju Foruma kao neizostavna antičkoga pečata grada Zadra. Predloženi su neki alati kojim bi se istaknula vlastita obilježja Foruma i unaprijedio njegov ne samo turistički potencijal, nego i adekvatna zaštita kojom bi se produžio njegov životni vijek.The Zadar Forum is the place where ancient culture took root and has remained there until today. Many wars, destructions, earthquakes and other calamities tried to destroy it, but what can be seen today still bears witness to the strong history of the city and its culture. It is impossible not to notice how every part of the peninsula exudes tradition from ancient times, which is why I was motivated to dedicate my graduation thesis to this very topic. The paper first mentions the history of the settlements that arose in this area, and then focuses on the important buildings that were and are still located in the Forum. At the beginning of my work, I clarify terms related to the history of art that refer to the definition of the words capitol, forum, etc. Likewise, I provide detailed descriptions so that what I want to achieve can at least be visually represented in some way. Then I base it on the main part of the work, protection and presentation, in which knowledge is presented about the laws that are in force today, which talk about regulations, and facts that have become norms for the protection of any cultural property in the world. I also look back at a few important people who were either art critics, architects, professors at universities, and they worked during the period of romanticism, the period of biological and active protection. In these passages, I present their reflections over time and the way in which they valued cultural monuments in the era in which they lived. Likewise, I compare the relationship of St. Donat and Forum, which has caused many controversies and disturbances in the past few years. In the end, I give some of my reflections that would give the Forum "more" life, that is, it would become even more interesting by introducing various tools
