Usporedba hrvatskih i engleskih zoosomatskih idioma
No full textFrazemi čine značajan dio, ne samo jezičnog sustava, već i vlastitog znanja. Razumijevanje i korištenje frazema može se činiti kao govorenje novog, kreativnog, zabavnog, i, mnogima, nepoznatog jezika. Ovaj diplomski rad, koji kombinira dva česta tipa frazema, nastoji pružiti manju komparativnu analizu hrvatskih i engleskih zoosomatskih frazeoloških jedinica. Rječnik hrvatskih animalističkih frazema (2017) izvor je hrvatskih idioma, dok će se njihovi odgovarajući engleski ekvivalenti tražiti u različitim tiskanim i online rječnicima. Cilj ovog rada je, kroz komparativnu analizu, odrediti stupanj ekvivalentnosti među 57 hrvatskih frazema i njihovih parova, kao i dotaknuti se bilo kakvih semantičkih ili sintaktičkih karakteristika. Konačno, osim ekvivalentnosti, rezultati će pokušati otkriti najčešću zoosomatsku komponentu, kao i osvrnuti se na određene konotacije vezane uz frazeme.Phrasemes are a major part of, not just a language system, but also of one’s own knowledge. Understanding and implementing idioms may seem as speaking another, creative, entertaining and, for many, unfamiliar language. This thesis, that combines two most frequent idiom types, tends to provide a smaller comparative analysis of Croatian and English zoosomatic PUs. Rječnik hrvatskih animalističkih frazema (2017) is used as the source of Croatian idioms, while their English equivalents are to be found in different printed and online dictionaries. The aim of this thesis is to, through comparative analysis, determine the degree of equivalence between 57 Croatian idioms and their pairs, and also discuss any semantic or syntactic features present. Finally, except for the equivalence, the results will try to determine the most employed zoosomatic component, as well as reflect on the type of connotations provoked by the PUs
Key Conditions for the Successful Implementation of Educational Inclusion within Regular Primary Schools
No full textOdgojno-obrazovna inkluzija predstavlja praksu i filozofiju koja se temelji na ideji da učenici s različitim sposobnostima, potrebama i pozadinama jednako sudjeluju u redovnim odgojnoobrazovnim okruženjima i aktivnostima, uz pružanje adekvatne podrške koja im omogućuje maksimiziranje vlastitih potencijala te ostvarivanje uspjeha. Provedba uspješne odgojnoobrazovne inkluzije i ostvarivanje inkluzivnih odgojno-obrazovnih ciljeva ovisi o nizu pretpostavki odgovornih za njezino funkcioniranje. Shodno tome, cilj ovog istraživanja je identificirati bitne organizacijske, kadrovske i programske pretpostavke te ispitati važnost komunikacije između odgojno-obrazovnih djelatnika iz perspektive učitelja razredne i predmetne nastave te stručnih suradnika pedagoga u sklopu redovnih osnovnih škola. Rad se temelji na kvalitativnoj metodologiji istraživanja u sklopu kojeg je korištena metoda individualnog, polustrukturiranog intervjua kojim je ispitano ukupno deset sugovornika. U kontekstu organizacijskih pretpostavki, rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da su odgojnoobrazovni djelatnici zadovoljni školskom kulturom i ozračjem unutar kojega rade ističući da je prema njihovom mišljenju svijest o inkluziji unutar redovnih osnovnih škola snažno raširena. Kada je riječ o programskim pretpostavkama, pokazalo se da su sugovornici upoznati s odgojno-obrazovnim programima za rad s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju kao i prednostima koje njihovo provođenje donosi. Unatoč tome, sugovornici ističu niz prepreka koje sprječavaju njihovo uspješno provođenje, a kao primarna prepreka izdvojena je nedovoljna educiranost odgojno-obrazovnih djelatnika za rad s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju. Povezano s tim, glavna problematika na razini kadrovskih pretpostavki očituje se u tome što se većina sugovornika ne smatra dovoljno kompetentnima za rad s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju. Također, rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da odgojno-obrazovni djelatnici ne koriste jednake metode i oblike rada za svu djecu s teškoćama u razvoju već da metodičku prilagodbu vrše ovisno o vrsti i stupnju teškoća. Naposlijetku, istaknuta je odgojna funkcija odgojno-obrazovne ustanove ističući da odgojno-obrazovni djelatnici nisu samo puki poučavatelji već i svojevrstan uzor učenicima kako se ponašati i kako komunicirati s drugima.Educational inclusion represents a practice and philosophy based on the idea that children with diverse abilities, needs, and backgrounds should participate equally in regular educational environments and activities with the provision of appropriate support that allows them to maximize their own potential and achieve success. The implementation of successful educational inclusion and the achievement of inclusive educational goals depends on a number of conditions responsible for its functioning. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify relevant organisational, personnel and programmatic conditions and to examine the importance of communication between educational staff from the perspective of classroom and subject teachers and professional assistants pedagogues within regular primary schools. The study is based on a qualitative research methodology using the method of individual semi-structured interviews with a total of ten interviewees. In the context of organizational conditions, the research results indicated that educational staff are generally satisfied with the school culture and atmosphere in which they work emphasizing that awareness of inclusion within regular primary schools is strongly spread. When it comes to programmatic conditions, the interviewees showed familiarity with educational programs for working with children with dissabilities, as well as the advantages that their implementation brings. Despite that, they point out a number of obstacles that prevent their successful implementation such as the insufficient education of educational staff for working with children with developmental disabilities. According to this, the main issue at the level of personnel conditions is that most interviewees do not consider themselves competent enough to work with children with developmental disabilities. In addition, the results of the study showed that educational staff do not use the same teaching methods for all children with developmental disabilities, but that methodological adaptation is made depending on the type and severity of difficulty. Finally, the upbringing function of the educational institution was highlighted pointing out that educational staff are not only mere transmitters of knowledge but also role models for children on how to behave and how to communicate with others
Information needs and behavior of LGBT students in Zadar related to the „coming out“ process
No full textCilj ovog rada je saznati koje su informacijske potrebe LGBT studenata na Sveučilištu u Zadru i kako dolaze do informacija vezanih uz coming out iskustvo te na koje prepreke u pristupanju informacijama pri tom nailaze. Coming out iskustvo predstavlja razotkrivanje vlastitog seksualnog i/ili rodnog identiteta i otkrivanje istoga drugima. U samom radu, bliže će se definirati pojam LGBT zajednice i njen trenutni položaj u Republici Hrvatskoj. U nastavku će se prikazati dosadašnji radovi na temu informacijskog ponašanja, potreba i prepreka u pristupanju informacijama na koje nailaze LGBT pripadnici kao i korisne informacijske izvore. Nadalje, metoda korištena u radu bila je intervju, iz razloga što se na taj način pružio bolji uvid u individualna iskustva ispitanika. Rad se nadao rasvijetliti informacijske potrebe i ponašanje jedne još uvijek relativno marginalizirane skupine.The aim of this paper is to find out what are the information needs of LGBT students at the University of Zadar and how they get information related to coming out experience and what obstacles they encounter in accessing information. The coming out experience represents revealing oneˈs own sexual and/or gender identity and revealing the same to others. In the paper itself, the term LGBT community and its current position in the Republic of Croatia will be more closely defined. In the following, previous works on the topic of information behavior, needs and obstacles in accessing information encountered by LGBT members, as well as useful information sources, will be presented. Furthermore, the method used in the paper was an intervju, for the reason that it provided a better insight into individual experiences of the respondents. The paper hoped to shed light on the information needs and bahavior of a still relatively marginalized group
Fan's reaction on Reddit on racial inclusivity: analisys on the example of Star Wars and Doctor Who franchise
No full textPosljednjih godina popularne medijske franšize sve više uključuju rasnu raznolikost što odražava popularnost društvenih pokreta za rasnu inkluzivnost. Iako se broj likova iz rasnih i etničkih manjina povećava, problem tokenizma ostaje prisutan jer su mnogi likovi površno uključeni bez stvarne dubine ili promjene. Zbog porasta online zajednica obožavatelja, njihova sposobnost utjecaja na sadržaj raste, a publika zahtijeva kvalitetniju rasnu reprezentaciju. Ovaj rad analizira fanove serijala Doctor Who i Star Wars te njihove komentare na platformi Reddit na ove promjene unutar navedenih franšiza. Istraživanje nastoji istaknuti najčešće teme i motive iz komentara te otkriti koliko je rasna inkluzivnost fanovima važna. Namjera je dobiti uvid u to što fanovi podržavaju ili kritiziraju i koji su njihovi stavovi prema rasnoj raznolikosti.In recent years, popular media franchises have increasingly included racial diversity, reflecting the popularity of social movements for racial inclusivity. While the number of characters from racial and ethnic minorities is rising, the issue of tokenism persists, as many characters are superficially included without any real depth or change. With the growth of online fan communities, their ability to influence content is increasing, and the audience is demanding better quality of racial representation. This paper analyzes fans of the Doctor Who and Star Wars series and their comments on Reddit regarding these changes within the franchises. The research aims to highlight the most common themes and motifs from the comments and explore how important racial inclusivity is to the fans. The goal is to gain insight into what fans support or criticize and their views on racial diversity
Paradoxi morbi? Historical reflections on the Syphillis Epidemic in Early Modern Europe
No full textOvaj rad iz historiografskog pogleda razmatra porijeklo epidemije sifilisa koja se prema današnjem znanstvenom mišljenju datira u razdoblje ranog novog vijeka kada se čovjek suočavao s brojnim političkim, društvenim, ekonomskim i kulturnim promjenama koje su uvelike bile uvjetovane mikroorganizmima, otrovnim patogenima koji su pronašli način kako mutirati i oslabiti svog domaćina. Interdisciplinarnom metodologijom je pružena šira slika veneričke bolesti, pri čemu se pokušalo odgovoriti na pitanje je li sifilis doista posljedica Kolumbovih putovanja ili je kao spolna infekcija bio prisutan i ranije, ali manje virulentan nego u ranom novom vijeku. Rad je strukturiran u četiri poglavlja koja su fokusirana na patologiju sifilisa, renesansne liječnike koji su pokušavali pronaći adekvatna rješenja za sprečavanje širenja bolesti, društvenu perspektivu epidemije i, u konačnici, na primjeru engleskih vladara Henrika VIII. i Marije Tudor, mogućnost neurosifilisa kao uzroka određenih političkih i društvenih odluka.This paper deals with the origins of the syphilis epidemic from a historiographical perspective, considering current scientific opinion which dates it to the early modern age. During this time, humanity faced numerous political, social, economic, and cultural changes that were largely influenced by microorganisms—poisonous pathogens that had found ways to mutate and weaken their host. Using an interdisciplinary methodology, this paper aims to provide a broader understanding of venereal disease, addressing whether syphilis was indeed a result of Columbus's voyages or if it was present earlier as a sexually transmitted infection, albeit less virulent than in the early modern period. The paper is structured into four chapters focused on the pathology of syphilis, Renaissance doctors who sought adequate solutions to prevent the spread of the disease, the social perspective of the epidemic, and finally, using English rulers Henry VIII and Mary Tudor as examples, the possibility of neurosyphilis as a factor in certain political and social decisions
Perfectionism and burnout in parenting
No full textCilj ovog rada bio je ispitati različite sastavnice perfekcionizma povezane s roditeljstvom te roditeljsku psihološku prilagodbu, odnosno sagorijevanje, koje se javlja kao posljedica toga. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 224 roditelja, od kojih su 173 majke, a 51 otac. U svrhu odgovora na istraživačka pitanja korištena je Skala perfekcionizma usmjerenog na djecu (engl. The Children Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale, C-DAPS; Piotrowski, 2020), koju je po prvi put prevela i validirala na hrvatski jezik autorica Bašić (2023), također je korišten i Upitnik sagorijevanja u roditeljstvu (engl. Parental Burnout Assesment, PBA; Roskam i sur., 2018) koji je preveden i validiran od strane autorice Macuke i suradnica (2022) te Skala percepcije roditeljskog ponašanja – SPRP (Macuka, 2004) koja je u svrhu ovog istraživanja adaptirana tako da su tvrdnje prilagođene procjeni roditelja, a ne djece. Dobiveni rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da majke u prosjeku postižu veći rezultat na skalama roditeljske kontrole i roditeljskog sagorijevanja, dok su očevi u prosjeku postigli veći rezultat na skali roditeljskog perfekcionizma, odnosno subskali reda. Roditeljska kontrola raste s dobi roditelja te se pokazalo da je najizraženija kod roditelja starijih od 40 godina. Također, uočena je najviša razina diskrepance kod roditelja djece viših razreda osnovne škole (od petog do osmog razreda), jednako kao i na subskali reda. Na koncu, regresijskom analizom utvrđeno je da roditeljsko ponašanje i roditeljski perfekcionizam značajno pridonose objašnjenju sagorijevanja u roditeljskog ulozi, pri čemu su se roditeljsko prihvaćanje, roditeljska kontrola i diskrepanca pokazali najznačajnijim prediktorima sagorijevanja.The aim of this work was to examine the various components of perfectionism that are related to parenting and parental psychological adjustment, specifically burnout, which arises as a consequence. A total of 224 parents participated in the research, of which 173 were mothers and 51 were fathers. In order to answer the research question, the Children Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale (C-DAPS; Piotrowski, 2020) was used, translated and validated into Croatian for the first time by the author Bašić (2023), as well as the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA; Roskam et al., 2018) translated and validated by the author Macuka and associates (2022) and the Parental Behavior Perception Scale - SPRP (Macuka, 2004) which was adapted for this study, with statements modified to assess parents rather than children. The research results showed that mothers scored higher on average on the scales of parental control and parental burnout, while fathers scored higher on average on the scale of parental perfectionism, specifically on the subscale of order. Parental control increases with the age of the parents and it has been shown that it is most pronounced in parents over 40 years old. Also, the highest level of discrepancy was observed in parents of children in higher grades of elementary school (from the fifth to the eighth grade), as well as on the subscale of order. Finally, the regression analysis showed that parental behavior and parental perfectionism significantly contribute to the explanation of burnout in the parental role, where parental acceptance, parental control and discrepancy pointed out as the most important predictors of burnout
The struggle for civil rights in the USA from 1954 to 1968
No full textAfroamerikanci su svoju povijest u SAD-u počeli kao robovi da bi slobodu dobili 1862. kada je ukinuto ropstvo. Bijelci na Jugu bili su izrazito revoltirani ukinućem ropstva jer se velik dio južnjačkog gospodarstva temeljio upravo na ropstvu. Crnci su zatim započeli velike migracije u velike gradove američkog Sjevera gdje su živjeli u zbijenim, odvojenim i diskriminiranim prostorima. U 50-im i 60-im godinama 20. st. odvijala se borba za građanska prava koja je promijenila američko društvo do temelja. Organizirane su razne akcije poput sudskih procesa, marševa, prosvjeda i bojkota u gotovo svim saveznim državama koje je američka javnost pomno pratila. Borba je svoj vrhunac doživjela za vrijeme predsjednika Johna F. Kennedyja kada je u ljetu 1963. održan veliki marš na Washington u kojemu je sudjelovalo više od 200 tisuća ljudi, nakon kojega je Kennedy iznio prijedlog o uvođenja zakona o građanskim pravima za Afroamerikance. Ubojstvom Kinga Jr., središnje osobe u borbi za građanska prava, borba je naglo utihnula, ali njena načela i dalje nastavljaju živjeti kroz borbe koje su vodile druge društvene grupacije desetljećima nakon završetka borbe za građanska prava.The history of African Americans in the United States began with slavery and they received their freedom in 1862 when slavery was abolished. Whites in the South were particularly frustrated by this decision, as a large part of the Southern economy was based on slavery. Blacks then began to move to the large cities of the American North, where they lived in cramped, segregated and discriminated neighborhoods. In the fifties and sixties of the last century, there was a struggle for civil rights that significantly changed American society. Various actions such as lawsuits, marches, protests and boycotts were organized, which were closely followed by the American public. The high point of the struggle was during the presidency of John F. Kennedy, when a large march on Washington took place in the summer of 1963, in which more than 200 thousand people took part and after which Kennedy introduced the idea of a civil rights law for African Americans. When King Jr, the central figure of the civil rights struggle, was assassinated, the struggle suddenly fell silent, but its principles lived on through the struggles of other social groups for decades after the end of the civil rights struggle
Comparative analysis of Western and Chinese philosophical thought
No full textOvaj rad uspoređuje zapadnu i kinesku filozofiju analizirajući njihove pristupe ontologiji, epistemologiji i etici. Koristeći komparativnu metodologiju, istražuju se teme poput kozmologije, problema uma i tijela, egzistencije, teorija znanja i istine, filozofije jezika te etičkih teorija kao što su konzekvencijalizam i etika vrlina, uz razmatranje ljudske prirode kao temelja morala. Rad istražuje kako ove tradicije oblikuju naše razumijevanje svijeta, ljudskog postojanja i moralnosti, ističući ključne sličnosti i razlike koje proizlaze iz njihovih kulturnih i povijesnih konteksta. Cilj analize je pružiti uvid u univerzalne filozofske teme kroz prizmu različitih tradicija, naglašavajući doprinos kineske filozofije suvremenim raspravama o postojanju, etici i znanju.This paper compares Western and Chinese philosophy by analyzing their approaches to ontology, epistemology and ethics. Using a comparative methodology, topics such as cosmology, mind-body problem, existence, theories of knowledge and truth, philosophy of language and ethical theories such as consequentialism and virtue ethics are explored, while also considering human nature as the basis of morality. The paper explores how these traditions shape the our understanding of the world, human existence and morality, highlighting key similarities and differences arising from their cultural and historical contexts. The aim of the analysis is to provide insight into universal philosophical themes through the prism of different traditions, emphasizing the contribution of Chinese philosophy to contemporary debates about existence, ethics and knowledge
Effects of climate changes on maritime industry
No full textKonačni cilj ovog završnog rada je istražiti i analizirati utjecaj klimatskih promjena na pomorstvo, s posebnim naglaskom na promjene koje se događaju u morskom okolišu, pomorskoj infrastrukturi i operativnim aspektima pomorskih aktivnosti. Klimatske promjene predstavljaju jedan od najvećih izazova današnjice, a njihov utjecaj na pomorstvo postaje sve izraženiji. Porast razine mora, promjene u morskim strujama, povećanje učestalosti i intenziteta ekstremnih vremenskih uvjeta te zakiseljavanje oceana jedni su od segmenata klimatskih promjena koji direktno utječu na pomorstvo. Rad se sastoji od pet glavnih poglavlja. U uvodnom dijelu objašnjena je važnost pomorstva za globalnu ekonomiju, te je precizirana problematika klimatskih promjena. Drugo poglavlje daje pregled ključnih klimatskih promjena i njihovih učinaka na morski okoliš. Treće poglavlje se usredotočuje na utjecaj tih promjena na pomorsku infrastrukturu, uključujući luke, brodogradilišta i plovne putove. U četvrtom poglavlju analiziraju se operativni izazovi s kojima se suočava pomorski sektor, poput sigurnosti plovidbe, promjena u rutama i povećanih troškova. Peto poglavlje daje pregled mogućih mjera prilagodbe i strategija za ublažavanje negativnih učinaka klimatskih promjena na pomorstvo. Zaključak rada naglašava potrebu za hitnim i koordiniranim akcijama na globalnoj, regionalnoj i lokalnoj razini kako bi se smanjili negativni učinci klimatskih promjena na pomorstvo. Također se ističe važnost daljnjih istraživanja i razvoja inovativnih tehnologija koje mogu doprinijeti održivosti pomorskog sektora u uvjetima promjenjive klime.The ultimate goal of this thesis is to investigate and analyze the impact of climate change on maritime activities, with a particular emphasis on changes occurring in the marine environment, maritime infrastructure, and operational aspects of maritime activities. Climate change represents one of the greatest challenges of today, and its impact on maritime activities is becoming increasingly pronounced. Rising sea levels, changes in ocean currents, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and ocean acidification are some aspects of climate change that directly affect maritime activities. The thesis consists of five main chapters. The introductory part explains the importance of maritime activities for the global economy and defines the issues related to climate change. The second chapter provides an overview of key climate changes and their effects on the marine environment. The third chapter focuses on the impact of these changes on maritime infrastructure, including ports, shipyards, and waterways. The fourth chapter analyzes the operational challenges faced by the maritime sector, such as navigation safety, route changes, and increased costs. The fifth chapter provides an overview of possible adaptation measures and strategies to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on maritime activities. The conclusion emphasizes the need for urgent and coordinated actions at the global, regional, and local levels to reduce the negative effects of climate change on maritime activities. It also highlights the importance of further research and the development of innovative technologies that can contribute to the sustainability of the maritime sector in a changing climate
Parenting in the Period of Children's Independence
No full textCilj ovog istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u iskustvo roditeljstva u periodu osamostaljivanja djece. U istraživanju je kao uzorak sudjelovalo pet bračnih parova sugovornika, a metoda kojom se nastojao ostvariti cilj istraživanja bila je metoda polu-strukturiranog intervjua. Istraživačkim protokolom podijeljenim u tri zasebna dijela od sugovornika se nastojalo dobiti odgovore o trima različitim razdobljima njihova roditeljstva, što je podrobno prikazano u dijelu rasprave koja svojom strukturom prati istraživački protokol te je stoga podijeljena u tri tematske cjeline koje obuhvaćaju teme pripreme na djetetov odlazak iz obiteljskog doma, odlazak djeteta i prilagodbu roditelja te prazno gnijezdo i reorganizaciju života.The aim of this research was to gain insight into experiences of parents in the period of their children's maturing and independence. The research was based on the sample of five interviewees who were also married couples, and the method used for achieving the aim of the research was the method of the semi-structured interview. The research protocol, which was divided into three separate parts, was used in order to obtain answers from the interviewees concerning three different periods of their parenting, which is shown in detail in the part of the discussion that follows the research protocol in its structure and is therefore also divided into three thematic units that include the topics of preparation for the child's departure from the family home, the departure of the child and the parents' adaptation, and the empty nest and the reorganization of life
