Croatian national symbols throughout history
Hrvatski nacionalni simboli su iznimno važan čimbenik u očuvanju i razvijanju identiteta jedne nacije. Grb i zastava su kroz razne povijesne izmjene uspjele prikazati bogatu hrvatsku povijest koja je bila ispreplitana različitim vanjskim utjecajima da bi na koncu uspjela iznjedriti jedinstvene simbole koji su na ponos svih Hrvata diljem svijeta. Hrvatska nacionalna himna je prešla dugačak put kako bi postala službenom himnom hrvatske države i njen značaj je neopisiv u vremenu kada se izvodi na svjetskoj pozornici. Njihovo značenje je mnogostruko, a u modernom dobu je ključan aspekt međunarodne prepoznatljivosti. Kada je riječ o hrvatskim nacionalnim simbolima, njihov značaj nadilazi značaj pojedinca i pruža osjećaj pripadnosti i ponosa domovini. S obzirom na golemu vrijednost koju imaju u sferi društvene i kulturne baštine, u ovom radu će se opisati njihova evolucija kroz različita povijesna djelovanja i njihov razvitak do suvremenog doba.Croatian national symbols are exceptionally valuable in preserving and developing the identity of a nation. The coat of arms and the flag have, throughout many historical changes, succeeded in presenting a rich Croatian history that has been intertwined with different outside factors, eventually succeeding in birthing united symbols proud of Croats all over the world. The Croatian national anthem crossed a lengthy trail in becoming the official Croatian anthem, and the value it provides is indescribable at a time when it is being performed on a world stage. Their meaning is multifaceted, and in the current times, the aspect of international recognition is key. When it comes to Croatian national symbols, their significance far exceeds the value of an individual and instills a sense of belonging and patriotism. Considering the enormous value they have in the field of social and cultural heritage, this piece will depict their evolution through different historical factors and their development until the present day

Correlation between clinical picture and laboratory findings in acute appendicits
Akutna upala crvuljka jedno je od najčešćih suvremenih hitnih kirurških stanja koje se može dogoditi kod oba spola i kod osoba neovisno o životnoj dobi. Liječenje ovog stanja uglavnom podrazumijeva primjenu laparoskopske apendektomije, minimalno invazivnog operativnog zahvata uz pomoću kojeg se uklanja upaljeni crvuljak kod pacijenata. Unatoč značajnim ostvarenim naprecima u tehnologiji tehnici, dijagnostički postupak i dalje je vrlo izazovan te uključuje primjenu nekoliko tehnika kako bi se utvrdila točna dijagnoza, a uključuje klinički pregled i anamnezu te laboratorijsku i radiološku obradu pacijenta. Pojava komplikacija zbog nepravovremenog liječenja ili kao dio postoperativnog procesa također je mogućnost koja u nekim slučajevima može rezultirati i smrtnim ishodom za pacijenta. Cilj ovog istraživanja je prikaz osnovnih podataka koji se povezuju a akutnom upalom crvuljka, s posebnim naglaskom na dijagnozu i liječenje akutne upale crvuljka kod djece. Svrha istraživanja je usporedba podataka o kliničkoj slici i laboratorijskim nalazima s operacijskim nalazima te ispitati stupnjeve podudarnosti u navedenim parametrima. Istraživanje uključuje retrospektivnu analizu podataka prikupljenih kroz bolnički informacijski sustav Opće bolnice Zadar. Podaci uključuju informacije o 56 pacijenata koji su u razdoblju od 01.01.2021. do 31.12. 2021. podvrgnuti liječenju upale crvuljka. Prikupljeni podaci uključuju spol i dob pacijenata, oblik dijagnoze, ukupan broj dana hospitalizacije te vrijednost laboratorijskih nalaza. Istraživanje obuhvaća djecu u dobi od 4 do 18 godina. Podaci su prikazani frekvencijama i postocima kroz grafičke prikaze u obliku tablica i dijagrama.Acute inflammation of the appendix is one of the most common modern surgical emergencies that can occur in both sexes and in people of all ages. The treatment of this condition mainly involves the use of laparoscopic appendectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes the inflamed appendix from patients. Despite significant advances in technology, the diagnostic procedure is still very challenging and involves the application of several techniques to determine the correct diagnosis, and includes clinical examination, laboratory and radiological treatment of the patient. The appearance of complications due to the lack of timely treatment or as part of the postoperative process is also a possibility that in some cases can result in a fatal outcome for the patient. The aim of this research is to present basic data related to acute inflammation of the appendix, with special emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of acute inflammation of appendix in children. The purpose of the research is to compare the data on the clinical picture and laboratory findings with the operative findings and to examine the degree of agreement in the specified parameters. The research includes a retrospective analysis of data collected through the hospital information system of Zadar General Hospital. The data includes information on 56 patients who, in the period from 01.01.2021. until 31.12.2021, undergo treatment for acute inflammation of the appendix. Collected data include gender and age of patients, form of diagnosis, total number of days of hospitalization and value of laboratory findings. The research covers children aged 4 to 18 years. The data are presented with frequencies and percentages through graphical representations in the form of tables and diagrams
Parental care for a child with Down syndrome
Down sindrom najčešća je kromosomska abnormalnost u ljudi koja nastaje radi viška dijela ili cijeloga 21. kromosoma. Pojavljuje se u 1 na 600 do 800 novorođene djece. U ove djece često su prisutne prirođene srčane mane, intelektualna teškoća, anomalije gastrointestinalnog i dišnog sustava, hipotonija mišića, oštećenje vida, sluha i ravnoteže te dismorfija glave, lica i vrata. Down sindrom nije bolest, nego stanje u kojem je nužna podrška u ublažavanju prisutnih teškoća i pridruženih stanja. Po spoznaji o prisustvu sindroma u djeteta, roditelji proživljavaju različite emocije i faze prilagodbe. Nerijetko je prisutna neizvjesnost za budućnost te strah kako će sve navedeno utjecati na njihov obiteljski život. Roditelje je važno uključiti u grupe podrške te se upoznati s drugim obiteljima koji imaju dijete s Down sindromom kako bi mogli razmijeniti iskustva, osigurati podršku u kasnijem razvoju te osnažili vlastite kapacitete. Cilj ovog rada je prikaz stanja djeteta s Down sindromom te zdravstvenu njegu djece i adolescenata s ovim stanjem. Zbog velikog značenja koje roditelji imaju u skrbi za dijete, posebna pozornost posvetit će se roditeljskoj skrbi, utjecaju dijagnoze na roditelje, kao i sestrinskim intervencijama kojima je moguće osnažiti roditelje u skrbi za dijete. Uz stručnost, dobra komunikacija i empatičnost medicinske sestre važna je tijekom cijelog trajanja skrbi, a poglavito prilikom informiranja roditelja o pojavnosti stanja u djeteta, ohrabrenja i edukacije roditelja o stanju djeteta.Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans, resulting from an extra part or a whole extra copy of the 21st chromosome. It occurs in approximately 1 in 600 to 800 newborns. These children often have congenital heart defects, intellectual difficulties, abnormalities in the gastrointestinal system, weak muscle tone, dysmorphic facial features and respiratory issues. Down syndrome is not a disease but rather a condition that requires support to alleviate difficulties, and associated conditions. Upon realizing the presence of the syndrome in a child, parents undergo a range of emotions and adjustment phases. Uncertainty about the future and fear of how all the mentioned challenges will impact their family life are not uncommon. It is crucial to involve parents in support groups and introduce them to other families who have a child with Down syndrome. This allows fit the exchange of experiences, securing support throughout the child's development and empowering their own capabilities. In this final thesis, I will describe Down syndrome and the nursing care provided to children and adolescents with this condition. considering the significant role parents play in caring for their child, special attention will be given to parental care. The impact of the diagnosis on parents will be discussed, as well as sibling interventions aimed at empowering parents in their caregiving role. Expertise, effective communication, and empathy on the part of medical professionals, especially when informing parents about the condition's presence in their child, encouraging them, and educating them about their child's condition, are of paramount importance throughout the entire care process
The relationship between communication in intimate relationships, relationship quality and subjective well-being
Subjektivna dobrobit se može definirati na različite načine, primjerice, kao ostvarenje određenih vrlina, kao procjena zadovoljstva svojim životom ili kao procjena veće prisutnosti pozitivnih emocija nego negativnih. Jedna od najvažnijih stavki koja može utjecati na nju je odnos s partnerom. Odnos ili veza je dugotrajna asocijacija između dvije osobe koja je karakterizirana njihovom stalnom interakcijom i taj odnos ima dugotrajni učinak na zdravlje, trajanje života, zadovoljstvo životom i dobrobit. Komunikacija u intimnim odnosima se odnosi na način na koji partneri komuniciraju, rješavaju konflikte i izražavaju osjećaje. Komunikacija je temeljni i neizbježni dio svakog međuljudskog odnosa, a posebno je važna u odnosu s partnerom s kojim se provodi većina vremena. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos kvalitete veze, komunikacije u intimnim odnosima i mjera subjektivne dobrobiti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 156 sudionika, od toga 132 sudionice i 24 sudionika. Sudionici su bili mladi odrasli ljudi iz Republike Hrvatske čija se dob kretala od 19 do 30 godina, a podatci su prikupljeni putem online upitnika. Statističkom obradom rezultata, utvrđen je značajan doprinos kvalitete veze u objašnjenju zadovoljstva životom – sudionici koju imaju kvalitetnije veze imaju i veće procjene zadovoljstva životom. Nije utvrđen značajan doprinos komunikacije u intimnim odnosima u objašnjenju zadovoljstva životom. Nadalje, utvrđen je značajan doprinos kvalitete veze i komunikacije u intimnim odnosima u objašnjenju pozitivnih iskustava – sudionici koju imaju kvalitetnije veze i bolju komunikaciju u intimnim odnosima imaju i više pozitivnih iskustava u životu. Zatim, utvrđen je značajan doprinos komunikacije u intimnim odnosima u objašnjenju negativnih iskustava – sudionici koju imaju bolju komunikaciju u intimnim odnosima imaju manje negativnih iskustava. Nije utvrđen značajan doprinos kvalitete veze u objašnjenju negativnih iskustava. Na posljetku, utvrđen je značajan doprinos kvalitete veze i komunikacije u intimnim odnosima u objašnjenju prosperiteta – sudionici koju imaju kvalitetnije veze i bolju komunikaciju u intimnim odnosima imaju i veći prosperitet.Subjective well-being can be defined in different ways, for example, as a realization of certain virtues, as an assessment of satisfaction with one's life or as an assessment of the greater presence of positive affect than a negative one. One of the most important factors that can affect subjective well-being is a relationship with a partner. The relationship is a long-term association between two individuals that is characterized by their constant interaction and has long-term effects on health, life span, life satisfaction and well-being. Partner communication refers to the way partners communicate, resolve conflicts and express feelings. Communication is a fundamental and inevitable part of every interpersonal relationship, and it is especially important in the relationship with a partner with whom one spends most of their time. The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between relationship quality, partner communication, and measures of subjective well-being. In total, 156 participants took part in the research, of which 132 were female and 24 were male. The participants were young adults from the Republic of Croatia, whose ages ranged from 19 to 30 years old. Data were collected through an online survey. The results revealed significant contribution of relationship quality in explaining life satisfaction - participants who have better quality relationships also have higher life satisfaction. No significant contribution of communication in intimate relationships in explaining life satisfaction was found. Furthermore, a significant contribution of the quality of the relationship and communication in intimate relationships was determined in explaining positive experiences - participants who have better quality relationships and better communication in intimate relationships have more positive experiences in life. Then, a significant contribution of communication in intimate relationships was found in explaining negative experiences - participants who have better communication in intimate relationships have fewer negative experiences. No significant contribution of relationship quality in explaining negative experiences was found. In the end, a significant contribution of the quality of the relationship and communication in intimate relationships was determined in the explanation of flourishing - participants who have better quality relationships and better communication in intimate relationships also have greater flourishing
The relationship between humor styles, burnout, and academic engagement among students
Humor je iskustvo koje je jedinstveno ljudskoj vrsti i koje predstavlja neizostavni element našeg svakodnevnog života. U psihologiji, istraživanja humora u zadnjem desetljeću usmjerila su se na proučavanje raznih pozitivnih ishoda korištenja humora u radnom i obrazovnom okruženju, najčešće od strane nadređenih i nastavnika. Međutim, pokazalo se da humor može ponekad služiti i kao indikator neugodnih i stresnih stanja poput sagorijevanja, a opće je prihvaćeno mišljenje da su studenti populacija koja je izrazito podložna sagorijevanju. Kako bi se ispitao humor, za koji je prihvaćeno da je relativno stabilna crta ličnosti, Martin i suradnici (2003) uvode konceptualizaciju humora prema četiri stila u kojoj se radi distinkcija između humora koji je korišten u svrhu poboljšavanja slike o sebi ili svojih odnosa s drugima te prema tome je li humor korišten na način koji je pojedincu potencijalno štetan ili koristan. Prethodna istraživanja dovodila su stilove humora u odnos sa sagorijevanjem zbog pretpostavke da humor može poslužiti kao svojevrsni resurs prilikom suočavanja sa stresom. Isto tako, postoji i korpus istraživanja iz aktualne prakse pozitivne psihologije koji je povezao stilove humora s radnom angažiranosti, također promatrajući humor u kontekstu osobnog resursa koji služi za izvršavanje obveza (Van den Broeck i sur., 2012). S obzirom na to da je skoro sva postojeća literatura na ovu temu usmjerena na proučavanje nadređenih, zaposlenika i nastavnika, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos stilova humora (afilijativni, samopoboljšavajući, agresivni i samoporažavajući), sagorijevanja na studiju (emocionalna iscrpljenost, cinizam i akademska efikasnost) i akademske angažiranosti kod studenata u Republici Hrvatskoj. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 256 studenata od kojih su 201 žene i 55 muškarci, a provelo se online putem Google obrasca. Uzorkovanje sudionika obavljeno je metodom snježne grude. U istraživanju su korištena tri mjerna instrumenta: Upitnik stilova humora (engl. Humor Styles Questionnaire - HSQ), Maslachin inventar sagorijevanja adaptiran za studente (MBI -SS) te Utrecht skala angažiranosti u studiju (UWES-SS). Dobiveni rezultati pokazali su značajan doprinos samoporažavajućeg i samopoboljšavajućeg humora u objašnjenju akademske efikasnosti te značajan doprinos samopoboljšavajućeg i agresivnog humora u objašnjenju akademske angažiranosti. Regresijske analize nisu provedene za ispitivanje doprinosa pojedinih stilova humora u objašnjenju varijanci emocionalne iscrpljenosti i cinizma jer je jedino samoporažavajući stil humora bio u niskoj pozitivnoj korelaciji s dviju dimenzijama sagorijevanja. Ovi nalazi ukazuju da humor može potencijalno služiti kao resurs studentima prilikom suočavanja sa stresom i ispunjavanja akademskih obaveza.Humor is an experience unique to humankind and an essential element of our everyday lives. In psychology, over the past decade, research on humor has focused on examining the various positive outcomes of humor use in the workplace and in educational settings, specifically when used by supervisors and teachers. However, it has also been shown that humor can sometimes serve as an indicator of unpleasant and stressful mental states, such as burnout which is widely considered to be a common problem among students. To study humor, which is generally considered as a relatively stable personality trait, Martin et al. (2003) introduced a conceptualization of humor which is based on four humor styles, distinguishing between humor that is used to enhance self-image or to enhance relationships with others, and humor that is potentially harmful or beneficial to the individual. Previous studies have associated humor styles with burnout based on the assumption that humor can serve as a resource for coping with stress. Additionally, research within the field of positive psychology has linked humor styles to work engagement, also viewing humor as a personal resource that can be used as a tool for accomplishing tasks (Van den Broeck et al., 2012). Given that existing literature on this topic has predominantly focused on supervisors, employees, and teachers, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between humor styles (affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating), burnout (emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy), and academic engagement among students in Croatia. The study involved 256 participants, of which 201 were women and 55 men, and was conducted online via Google Forms. Participants were recruited using the snowball sampling method. Three measurement instruments were utilized in the study: the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ), the Maslach Burnout Inventory adapted for students (MBI-SS), and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-SS). The results indicated importance of self-defeating and self-enhancing humor in explaining academic efficacy, as well as the importance of self-enhancing and aggressive humor in explaining academic engagement. Regression analyses were not conducted to examine the contribution of individual humor styles in explaining the variance of emotional exhaustion and cynicism, as only the self-defeating humor style had a low positive correlation with the two dimensions of burnout. These findings suggest that humor may potentially serve as a resource to students for coping with stress or fulfilling their academic tasks
Addictions as a public health problem
Ovisnosti postoje od davnina, odnosno možemo reći da ovisnosti postoje otkako je čovjeka. Karkaterizira ih niz psihičkih i fizičkih simptoma u trenutcima bez određene aktivnosti ili supstance. Širok je spektar supstanci o kojima osoba može biti ovisna, a s napretkom tehnologije i vremena javljaju se i novi oblici ovisnosti kao što su ovisnost o kocki, internetu i videoigrama. Svake godine bilježi se porast broja ovisnika u svijetu, ali i u Hrvatskoj, a dobna granica upoznavanja sa svijetom droge i alkohola sve je niža zbog čega ovisnosti predstavljaju ozbiljan društveni problem. Najrizičniju skupinu predstavljaju adolescenti, neki od njih s konzumacijom započnu iz čiste znatiželje, dok drugi u tome vide bijeg od surove stvarnosti. Važnu ulogu u prepoznavanju rizičnih skupina i prevenciji imaju liječnici obiteljske medicine, medicinske sestre, ali i članovi obitelji koji s osobom provode najviše vremena. Osoba započinje zanemarivati dotadašnje aktivnosti, otuđuje se od društva te se naglasak stavlja na nabavu određene supstance kako bi se zadovoljile potrebe. Osobe ovisne o drogama nakon duže upotrebe trebaju sve veće količine kako bi osjetile početni učinak, dok osobe ovisne o alkoholu nakon godina ovisnosti trebaju sve manje količine alkohola kako bi osjetile opitost. Liječenje je dugotrajno i mukotrpno, zahtjeva mnogo strpljenja i snage, a recidivi su česti. Ovaj rad najveći naglasak stavlja na ovisnost o alkoholu i drogama, njihovoj epidemiologiji i etiologiji te prevenciji i liječenju, a na samom kraju spominju se i ovisnosti novog doba.Addictions have existed since ancients times, that is, we can say that addictions have existed since the beginning of man. They are characterized by a series of psychological and physical symptoms in moments without a specific activity or substance. There is a wide spectrum of substances that a person can be addicted to, and with the advancement of technology and time, new forms of addiction appear, such as addiction to gambling, the Internet, and video games. Global issue of addiction continues to be a significant concern, the age limit for introduction to the world of drugs and alcohol is getting lower and lower, which is why addictions represent a serious social problem. Adolescents are the most at-risk group, some of them start experimenting out of pure curiosity, while others use them as a coping mechanism with difficult life situations. Family medicine doctors, nurses, but also family members who spend the most time with the person play an important role in the identification of risk groups and prevention. The person begins to neglect previous activities, alienates himself from society, and the emphasis is placed on acquiring a certain substance in order to satisfy his needs. People addicted to drugs after long-term use need increasing amounts to lose the initial effect, while people addicted to alcohol after years of addiction need smaller and smaller amount of alcohol to feel intoxicated. The treatment is long and arduous, requires a lot of patience and strenght, and relapses are frequente. This work places the greates emphasis on alcohol and drug addiction, their epidemiology and etiology, as well as prevention and treatment, and at the very end, addictions of the new era are mentioned
Students' Attitudes about Delayed Parenthood
S obzirom na mijenjanje društva, mijenjaju se i godine s kojima se ostvaruje roditeljstvo. Sve više ljudi postaje roditeljem u kasnijim godinama, nakon 35. ili kasnije. Velik broj ljudi želi se posvetiti obrazovanju, karijeri, žele se financijski osposobiti, ili pak jednostavno žele slobodu prije osnivanja obitelji. Upravo zbog tih razloga dolazi do odgođenog roditeljstva, koje je danas sve češće. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je ispitati i utvrditi razlike u stavovima studenata o odgođenom roditeljstvu i stereotipima vezanim za odgođeno roditeljstvo s obzirom na spol, dob, područje studija, strukturu obitelji ispitanika i veličinu mjesta u kojem su ispitanici odrasli. Za potrebe istraživanja kreiran je anketni upitnik, koji je ispunilo 218 ispitanika. Upitnik se dijeli na četiri dijela: prvi obuhvaća osnovne podatke o ispitanicima, drugi dio se sastoji od tvrdnji vezane za odgođeno roditeljstvo, treći dio se sastoji od tvrdnji vezane za stereotipe odgođenom roditeljstvu, dok je na kraju upitnika postavljeno pitanje otvorenog tipa. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju kako postoje razlike u stavovima studenata o odgođenom roditeljstvu i to kod svih nezavisnih varijabli. Razlike u stavovima o odgođenom roditeljstvu su se u većini slučajeva očitavale kroz iste tvrdnje: odgođeno roditeljstvo je česta tema u društvu, odgođeno roditeljstvo se često spominje u obrazovanju, odgođeno roditeljstvo je sve češće u današnje doba u Republici Hrvatskoj, na odgođeno roditeljstvo češće se odlučuju žene nego muškarci. S druge strane, razlike u stavovima o stereotipima o odgođenom roditeljstvu prisutne su kod tvrdnji: stariji roditelji imaju manjak energije za fizičke aktivnosti i igru, stariji roditelji ne razumiju djecu zbog generacijskog jaza, stariji roditelji su spremniji na roditeljske obveze, stariji roditelji su više uključeni u odgoj djece, stariji roditelji imaju više vremena za djecu, u većini slučajeva odgođeno roditeljstvo se događa zbog karijere, financijska situacija starijih roditelja je stabilnija, djeca starijih roditelja osjećaju veći pritisak zbog visokih očekivanja roditelja te da su djeca starijih roditelja uspješnija. Ispitanici su u upitniku dali prijedloge kako bi društvo moglo olakšati roditeljstvo osobama koje dijete dobiju u drugoj polovici tridesetih ili kasnije: edukacije, savjetovanja, lakše upisivanje u vrtiće, duži porodiljni, smanjivanje predrasuda prema starijim roditeljima, spominjanje odgođenog roditeljstva u obrazovanju, medijima i društvu te novčane potpore starijim roditeljima.Given the changes in society, the age at which parenthood is realized is changing as well. In traditional society, it was expected that a family would be founded after the completion of education. However, more and more people are becoming parents in their later years, after 35 or later. Many people want to dedicate themselves to their education, their career, they want to become financially stable, or they simply want freedom before starting a family. It is precisely because of these reasons that delayed parenthood occurs, which is increasingly common today. The aim of this thesis was to examine and determine the differences in students' attitudes about delayed parenthood and stereotypes related to delayed parenthood regarding gender, age, field of study, family structure of the respondents and the size of the place where the respondents grew up. For the purposes of the research, a survey questionnaire was created, which was filled out by 218 respondents. The questionnaire is divided into four parts: the first includes basic information about the respondents, the second part consists of statements related to delayed parenthood, the third part consists of statements related to stereotypes of delayed parenthood, while at the end of the questionnaire an open-ended question was asked. The obtained results show that there are differences in the attitudes of students about delayed parenthood, and that with each independent variable. Differences in attitudes about delayed parenthood were in most cases present through the same statements: delayed parenthood is a frequent topic in society, delayed parenthood is often mentioned in education, delayed parenthood is increasingly common nowadays in the Republic of Croatia, delayed parenthood is more often decided upon women than men. On the other hand, differences in attitudes about stereotypes about delayed parenthood are present in the claims: older parents lack energy for physical activities and play, older parents do not understand children due to the generation gap, older parents are more ready for parental responsibilities, older parents are more involved in raising children, older parents have more time for children, in most cases delayed parenthood happens because of a career, the financial situation of older parents is more stable, children of older parents feel more pressure due to high parental expectations and that children of older parents are more successful. In the questionnaire, respondents gave suggestions on how society could make parenting easier for people who have children in the second half of their thirties or later: education, counseling, easier enrollment in kindergartens, longer maternity leave, reduction of prejudice against older parents, mention of delayed parenthood in education, media and society and financial support for elderly parents

Diplomski rad prikazuje teorijsku pozadinu istraživačkog pitanja te rezultate koji su dobiveni na temelju provedenog istraživanja koje je obuhvaćalo studentsku populaciju te teorijskog dijela koji je služio kao polazište. Vjerodostojnost komunikacije putem mobilnih uređaja, društvenih mreža i digitalnih tehnologija aktualan je i sveprisutan problem današnjice u kojoj je tehnologija došla do velike razine napretka. Može se pretpostaviti da se danas komunikacija pomoću digitalnih tehnologija i interneta odvija u jednakoj mjeri kao komunikacija licem u lice. Stoga je potrebno istražiti percepciju i stavove studentske populacije o vjerodostojnosti komunikacije pomoću digitalne tehnologije. Diplomski rad se dotiče i problema pretjeranog korištenja mobilnih uređaja te njihova utjecaja na način na koji danas ljudi međusobno komuniciraju. Rezultati navedenog istraživanja prikazuju kako studentska populacija smatra komunikaciju licem u lice vjerodostojnijom vrstom komunikacije, čak iako je komunikacija licem u lice podjednako zastupljena kao i komunikacija putem mobilnih uređaja, društvenih mreža i drugih digitalnih tehnologijaThis thesis deals with the problem of credibility of communication via mobile devices, social networks and digital technologies. The diploma thesis presents the theoretical background of the research question and the results obtained on the basis of the conducted research that included the student population and the theoretical part that served as a starting point. The credibility of communication via mobile devices, social networks and digital technologies is a current and ubiquitous problem today, in which technology has reached a great level of progress. It can be assumed that today communication using digital technologies and the Internet takes place to the same extent as face-to-face communication. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the perception and attitudes of the student population about the credibility of communication using digital technology. The diploma thesis also touches on the problem of excessive use of mobile devices and their influence on the way people communicate with each other today. The results of the aforementioned research show that the student population considers face-to-face communication a more credible type of communication, even though face-to-face communication is equally represented as communication via mobile devices, social networks and other digital technologies
