No full textU središtu ovog diplomskog rada su studentska izlaganja, odnosno izgradnja i prezentacija javnog sebstva, emocije i emocionalni rad iz perspektive simboličkog interakcionizma. Cilj je bio dobiti uvid u prezentiranje i izgradnju sebstva studenta u kontekstu izlaganja propisanih kulturnim scenarijem. Osim toga, cilj je bio dobiti uvid u emocije i njihovu ulogu u prezentaciji sebstva te načine upravljanja dojmovima prilikom studentskih izlaganja. Uz to nastojao se dobiti uvid u važnost interakcija u prezentaciji i izgradnji sebstva u tom kontekstu. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 7 sudionika/ca, odnosno studenata/ica Sveučilišta u Zadru s kojima su se proveli polustrukturirani intervjui i promatranje sa sudjelovanjem koje se odnosilo na promatranje seminarskih izlaganja. Rezultati istraživanja pružaju uvid u izgradnju i prezentaciju javnog sebstva, emocije i njihovu ulogu u tom procesu, načine upravljanja dojmom te ulogu interakcija u kontekstu izlaganja.The focus of this thesis are student presentations, the construction and presentation of the public self, emotions and emotional work from the perspective of symbolic interactionism. The goal was to gain insight into the presentation and construction of the student's identity in the context of presentations prescribed by the cultural scenario. In addition, the goal was to gain an insight into emotions and their role in self-presentation, as well as the ways of managing impressions during student presentations. Further on, an effort was made to gain insight into the importance of interactions in the presentation and construction of the self within that context. A total of 7 participants, students of the University of Zadar, took part in the research, with whom semistructured interviews and participatory observation related to the observation of seminar presentations were conducted. The results of the research provide insight into the construction and presentation of the public self, emotions and their role in that process, ways of impression management and the role of interactions in the context of presentation

Narratological analysis of Miljenko Jergović's novel The Walnut Mansion
No full textTema završnog rada fokusira se na naratološku analizu romana Dvori od oraha Miljenka Jergovića, jednog od najznačajnijih suvremenih autora na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije. Jergovićeva proza poznata je po slojevitosti, bogatom jeziku i specifičnoj narativnoj strukturi, koja često kombinira različite perspektive i vremenske tokove, čineći njegova djela izazovnim, ali iznimno plodnim terenom za naratološku analizu. Roman Dvori od oraha karakterizira kompleksna struktura i višeslojna fabula, koja obuhvaća različite generacije jedne obitelji, preplećući prošlost i sadašnjost, stvarnost i fikciju. Kroz pažljivu analizu narativnih elemenata kao što su pripovjedač, perspektiva, vrijeme i prostor, ovaj rad će istražiti kako Jergović gradi svoj narativ i na koji način koristi ove elemente da bi stvorio složen, ali koherentan svijet unutar romana. Cilj rada je, kroz naratološki pristup, rasvijetliti način na koji Jergović koristi narativne tehnike kako bi oblikovao priču koja nije samo kronološki linearan prikaz događaja, već dinamična i refleksivna struktura koja čitatelju omogućava dublje razumijevanje likova, njihovih sudbina i šireg povijesnog konteksta. Ovaj pristup omogućit će detaljnu analizu kako narativne tehnike pridonose stvaranju značenja i emocionalnog utjecaja romana na čitatelja.The topic of the final paper focuses on the narratological analysis of the novel The Walnut Mansion by Miljenko Jergović, one of the most important contemporary authors in the area of the former Yugoslavia. Jergović's prose is known for its layers, rich language, and specific narrative structure, which often combines different perspectives and periods, making his works a challenging but extremely fruitful field for narratological analysis. The novel is characterized by a complex structure and multi-layered fable, which includes different generations of one family, intertwining past and present, reality and fiction. Through careful analysis of narrative elements such as narrator, perspective, time, and space, this paper will explore how Jergović builds his narrative and uses these elements to create a complex but coherent world within the novel. The aim of the paper is, through a narratological approach, to shed light on how Jergović uses narrative techniques to shape a story that is not just a chronological, linear presentation of events but a dynamic and reflexive structure that allows the reader a deeper understanding of the characters, their destinies, and the wider historical context. This approach will enable a detailed analysis of how narrative techniques create meaning and the novel's emotional impact on the reader
Professional reputation and image of preschool educators in the community
No full textTema završnog rada na Poslijediplomskom specijalističkom studiju „Vođenje i upravljanje odgojno-obrazovnom ustanovom“ jest istraživanje profesionalnog ugleda i imidža odgojitelja u zajednici. Pitanje profesionalnog identiteta odgojno-obrazovnih djelatnika, pa tako i odgojitelja, istražuju brojni autori posljednje desetljeće. Dosadašnja istraživanja profesionalnog ugleda odgojitelja većinom su polazila od pedagoškog aspekta uzimajući u obzir cijeli odgojnoobrazovni sustav i to na temelju kvantitativnog istraživačkog pristupa. Ovim radom se zahvatila šira perspektiva, tako da je profesionalni ugled i imidž odgojitelja istražen kvalitativnim pristupom, metodom fokus grupa u širem društvenom kontekstu. Promjenom dosadašnje istraživačke paradigme te ispitivanjem odgojitelja i roditelja utvrđena je šira slika o imidžu odgojitelja u lokalnoj zajednici. Utvrđeno je da je imidž odgojitelja lošiji od ostalih kategorija odgojno-obrazovnih djelatnika i nije dovoljno pepoznat u širem društvenom kontekstu. Na kraju su preporučene odgovarajuće mjere za poboljšanje postojećeg stanja. S obzirom na to da područje predškolskog sustava spada u ingerenciju lokalnih uprava i samouprava, za pretpostaviti je da unutar cjelokupnog predškolskog sektora mogu postojati razlike u tom pogledu.The topic of the final thesis at the postgraduate specialist study "Leading and managing an educational institution" is the research of the professional reputation and image of preschool educators in the community. The question of the professional identity of educational workers, including preschool educators, has been investigated by numerous authors for the last decade. Previous research into the professional reputation of preschool educators has mostly started from the pedagogical aspect, taking into account the entire educational system, based on a quantitative research approach. This work took a broader perspective, so that the professional reputation and image of preschool educators was investigated with a qualitative approach, using the focus group method in a wider social context. By changing the current research paradigm and examining preschool educators and parents, a broader picture of the image of preschool educators in the local community was established. It was established that the image of preschool educators is worse than other categories of educational workers, nor is it sufficiently well known in the wider social context. At the end, appropriate measures to improve the current situation were recommended. Given that the area of the preschool system falls under the authority of local administrations and self-governments, it can be assumed that within the entire preschool sector there are differences in this regard
Stress and professional burnout of nurses/technicians in emergency medicine
No full textUVOD: Stres se definira kao stanje poremećene ravnoteže u fiziološkom, psihološkom i socijalnom funkcioniranju pojedinca, nastalo zbog percipiranih prijetnji. Kontinuirano izlaganje stresu na radnom mjestu može dovesti do emocionalne iscrpljenosti i
profesionalnog sagorijevanja. Medicinske sestre i tehničari, osobito u hitnoj medicini, svakodnevno se suočavaju s brojnim izvorima stresa, što može ugroziti njihovu učinkovitost i kvalitetu zdravstvene skrbi. CILJ: Cilj ovoga istraživačkog rada bio je ispitati posljedice stresa i razinu profesionalnog sagorijevanja medicinskih sestara/tehničara koji su zaposleni u hitnoj medicini (uz kontrolu spola, dobi, sustava radne jedinice, razine obrazovanja i radnog staža). Zasebno su se pitanjima otvorenog tipa zahvatili osobni izazovi i iskustva zaposlenih u području hitne medicine. METODA: Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku medicinskih sestara/tehničara zaposlenih u hitnoj medicini u razdoblju od 1. svibnja 2023. do 1. srpnja 2023. godine. Ukupno je sudjelovalo 285 medicinskih sestara/tehničara zaposlenih u području hitne medicine na prostorima Republike Hrvatske. Istraživanje je provedeno putem online strukturiranog upitnika. REZULTATI: Sudionici ovog istraživanja o posljedicama stresa na poslu najviše izvještavaju o nesanici, glavobolji te probavnim smetnjama uslijed zahtjeva na poslu. Analizirajući dobivene rezultate na upitniku profesionalnog sagorijevanja većina sudionika ovog istraživanja navodi posebne znakove upozorenja (33,7%) ili ozbiljnu razinu sagorijevanja (24.9%) što ukazuje na zahtjevnost i stresnost rada u području hitne medicine. Pojavnost profesionalnoga sagorijevanja razlikovala se s obzirom na spol i sustav radne jedinice. ZAKLJUČAK: Simptomi profesionalnog sagorijevanja u velikoj mjeri prisutni su kod medicinskih sestara/tehničara zaposlenih u djelatnosti hitne medicinske skrbi. Također, postoje razlike u pojavnosti profesionalnog sagorijevanja s obzirom na neka sociodemografska obilježja sudionika.INTRODUCTION: Stress is defined as a state of disturbed balance in the physiological, psychological and social functioning of an individual, caused by perceived threats. Continuous exposure to stress in the workplace can lead to emotional exhaustion and professional burnout. Nurses and technicians, especially in emergency medicine, face numerous sources of stress every day, which can threaten their efficiency and quality of health care. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research work was to examine the consequences of stress and the level of professional burnout of nurses/technicians employed in emergency medicine (while controlling for gender, age, work unit system, level of education and seniority). Personal challenges and experiences of employees in the field of emergency medicine were separately covered by open-end questions. METHOD: The research was conducted on a convenient sample of nurses/technicians employed in emergency medicine in the period from May 1, 2023 to July 1, 2023. A total of 285 nurses/technicians employed in the field of emergency medicine in the Republic of Croatia participated. The research was conducted through an online structured questionnaire. RESULTS: The participants of this study, as consequences of stress at work, mostly reported insomnia, headaches and indigestion due to the demands of the job. Analyzing the results obtained from the professional burnout questionnaire, the majority of the participants of this research cite special warning signs (33.7%) or a serious level of
burnout (24.9%), which indicates the demanding and stressful nature of work in the field of emergency medicine. The incidence of occupational burnout differed with regard to gender and work unit system. CONCLUSION: Symptoms of professional burnout are present to a large extent in nurses/technicians employed in the field of emergency medical care. Also, there are differences in the incidence of professional burnout with regard to some sociodemographic characteristics of the participants

No full textTema diplomskog rada je Medijski prikaz obrazovanja za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata u Slobodnoj Dalmaciji s pomoću metode analize sadržaja. Članci u promatranom razdoblju, od 1943. do 1945. godine prikupljeni su s pomoću arhive Slobodne Dalmacije. Rad je strukturiran u teorijski i istraživački segment. U teorijskim poglavljima saznaje se povijesni pregled hrvatskog obrazovanja tijekom godina Drugog svjetskog rata, utjecaj uloge ZAVNOH-a i NOO-a na obrazovni sustav i kratak pregled povijesti novina iz kojeg je prikupljen potreban materijal za analizu. Analizom članaka s pomoću kvantitativne i kvalitativne metode, u istraživačkom djelu odgovorilo se na četiri postavljena istraživačka pitanja i na koje ciljeve se rad fokusirao. Pregledom literature daje se dublji uvid u društveno-politički kontekst, kao stanje i razina školskog obrazovanja u Hrvatskoj. Istraživanje doprinosi razumijevanju odnosa medija i obrazovanja u ratnom kontekstu. Rad pruža osnovu za daljnja istraživanja o utjecaju medijskog izvještavanja na percepciju obrazovanja tijekom ratnog razdoblja.The topic of the diploma thesis is the media representation of education during the Second World War in Slobodna Dalmatia using the method of content analysis. Articles in the observed period, from 1943. to 1945., were collected using the archives of Slobodna Dalmacija. The work is divided into a theoretical and a research part. The theoretical chapters provide a historical overview of Croatian education during the Second World War, the impact of the role of ZAVNOH and NOO on the education system, and a brief historical overview of newspapers from which the necessary material for analysis was taken. By analyzing the articles using quantitative and qualitative methods, the research work answered four research questions and what goals the work focused on. The literature review provides a deeper insight into the socio-political context, as well as the state and level of school education in Croatia. The research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between media and education in the context of war. The work provides a basis for further research on the impact of media reporting on the perception of education during the war period
Electronic navigational devices of autonomous vessels
No full textAutonomni brodovi predstavljaju revoluciju u pomorstvu i kao ideja predstavljaju gotovo idealan scenarij za brodare i brodarsku industriju kada su u pitanju zarada i troškovi. Elektronički navigacijski uređaji na autonomnim brodovima jedan su od stupova sigurnosti tih brodova s obzirom na količinu detalja koji se uzimaju u obzir kada je autonomna navigacija u pitanju. Podaci dobiveni elektroničkim navigacijskim uređajima trebali bi pomoći autonomnom brodu da na vrijeme poduzme ispravne operacije i manevre štiteći sigurnost vlastitog broda i okoline. Tehnologija autonomnih brodova uza sve prednosti, sa sobom nosi i niz izazova kao što su automatsko manevriranje u skučenim lučkim prostorima, izbjegavanje sudara te kibernetički napadi. Riječ je konceptu koji se konstantno razvija i koji traži još dodatnih istraživanja i poboljšanja performansi, s naglaskom na navigacijskim uređajima i senzorima.Autonomous ships represent a revolution in maritime industry and, as a concept, offer almost an ideal scenario for shipowners and the shipping industry in terms of earnings and costs. Electronic navigation devices on autonomous vessels are one of the cornerstones of their safety, considering the amount of detail taken into account when it comes to autonomous navigation. Data obtained from electronic navigation devices should assist autonomous ships in timely and accurate operations and maneuvers, protecting the safety of the vessel itself and its surroundings. Despite the numerous advantages, autonomous ship technology also brings a set of challenges such as automatic maneuvering in confined port spaces, collision avoidance, and cyber-attacks. It is a concept that is constantly evolving and requires further research and performance improvements, with a focus on navigation devices and sensors
The study of female characters in the novella November, the tale A Simple Heart, and the novels Sentimental Education and Salammbô by Gustave Flaubert
No full textCe mémoire de Master II est consacré à l'étude des personnages féminins dans une nouvelle de Gustave Flaubert, Novembre, dans son conte Un Cœur Simple, ainsi que dans deux romans du même romancier, L'Éducation sentimentale et Salammbô. Le premier chapitre est consacré à aux définitions du personnage littéraire dans un contexte spécifique. La partie centrale du mémoire analyse des personnages féminins sélectionnés en tant qu’adjuvantes, selon le schéma d'A. G. Greimas. Dans ce mémoire de Master II, nous examinons également l'intertextualité de la légende tristanienne, et notamment celle du Roman de Tristan de Thomas d’Angleterre dans L’Éducation sentimentale, et, à un degré moindre, dans Salammbô, ainsi que la représentation du personnage de Madame Arnoux comme dame du « troubadour » Frédéric. L’amour de Frédéric pour Marie Arnoux a des traits de la fin’amor, concept qui comprend le secret, la mesure, la noblesse des sentiments, le désintéressement et le jòi, sentiment complexe qui est à la fois la joie, la jeunesse, le jeu (amoureux), l’exaltation amoureuse, mais aussi l’angoisse. Et Marie est cette dame des troubadours, irréelle et réelle à la fois (Cf. Spitzer 1944 : 27). Réelle, car elle est une bourgeoise parisienne, originaire de Chartres, épouse de M. Arnoux et mère de famille, et irréelle, étant « une apparition » (Flaubert, 2015 : 8), et un ange, puisqu’elle s’appelle aussi Angélique. Les derniers chapitres analysent certains motifs et symboles de l'œuvre, comme l'eau. Nous analysons aussi la motivation des noms des personnages fémininsOvaj diplomski rad posvećen je proučavanju novele U mjesecu studenom, priče Prostodušno srce, te dvama romanima Sentimentalni odgoj i Salammbô Gustavea Flauberta. Svrha ovog rada je, koristeći se eklektičkim pristupom, analizirati ženske likove u navedenim djelima, te zajedničke motive povezane s prikazivanjem ženskih likova, kao na primjer motiv vode. Prvo poglavlje posvećeno je relevantnim teoretskim diskusijama koje smještaju koncept književnog lika u određeni kontekst. Središnji dio rada analizira odabrane ženske likove unutar jedne od funkcija likova prema shemi A. G. Greimasa. U diplomskom radu se također osvrćemo na intertekstualnost između navedenih djela i legende o Tristanu i Izoldi, te sprezi između prikazivanja lika gospođe Arnoux i vizije gospe u trubadurskoj poeziji, te ujedno o utjecaju koncepta savršene ljubavi (fin'amor) na ljubav Frédérica prema gospođi Arnoux. Ujedno se analizira motiviranost imena ženskih likova.In our study of female characters in the novella November, the tale A Simple Heart, and the novels Sentimental Education and Salammbô by Gustave Flaubert, an eclectic approach was applied, drawing on thematic criticism, semiotics, psychoanalysis, and intertextuality. The first chapter is devoted to the different definitions of literary character. The central part of the study analyses the main female characters within one of the characters' functions according to the scheme of A. G. Greimas. The final chapters analyse the intertextuality between the works of Gustave Flaubert and the legend of Tristan and Isolde, as well as the connection between the portrayal of the character of Marie Arnoux and the vision of lady in troubadour poetry, and at the same time the influence of the concept of perfect love (fin’amor) on Frédéric's love for Madame Arnoux. Finally, the study analyses the motivation behind the names of Flaubert’s female characters
Vrednovanje gramatike u učionicama s engleskim kao stranim jezikom
No full textGrammar assessment may be seen as an important indicator of learners’ language knowledge. Since the Croatian English language curriculum introduced certain changes concerning grammar assessment, the primarily aim of the conducted study was to examine EFL teachers’ attitudes, as well as practices used for learners’ grammar assessment. The sample include Croatian elementary and high school EFL teachers. The instruments used in the study were a questionnaire, as well as semi-structured interviews. The results revealed that the majority of teachers were dissatisfied with the new grammar assessment guidelines stating reasons such as poorer learner knowledge which were the result of the lack of a grammar grade component which demotivated learners. Consequently, many teachers reported favoring traditional assessment practices, while referring to the current assessment as time-consuming, demanding, unreliable, and not sufficiently effective. The majority reported that they adhered to the current curriculum guidelines and assessed grammar through learners’ written and communicative assignments. However, they still used grammar tests discreetly. A rather less frequent usage of reading and listening checks was noted. Teachers evaluated their practices as acceptable and good, as well as expressed a desire for changing them due to their poor quality, demanding character and unmotivating formative assessment. Finally, though pointing to a rather excessive use of games, teachers, nevertheless, stressed the benefits of the alternative assessment due to the diversity of writing and communicative exercises, as well as digital devices. They concluded that grammar teaching and assessment should include both traditional and alternative grammar practices.Vrednovanje gramatike može se smatrati važnim pokazateljem učenikova poznavanja jezika. Budući da je hrvatski kurikulum engleskog jezika uveo određene promjene vezane uz vrednovanje gramatike, prvotni cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je utvrditi stavove učitelja engleskog kao stranog jezika, kao i procedure kojima se koriste u svrhu vrednovanja učenikova poznavanja gramatike. Uzorak je uključivao hrvatske osnovnoškolske i srednjoškolske učitelje engleskog kao stranog jezika. Navedeno je analizirano anketom te semi-strukturiranim intervjuima. Rezultati su pokazali kako je većina učitelja nezadovoljna s novim smjernicama vezanim uz vrednovane gramatike zbog lošijeg znanja samih učenika uzrokovanog nedostatkom ocjenjivanja gramatike što je ujedno i demotiviralo učenike. U skladu s prethodno navedenim, velik broj učitelja istaknuo je kako preferira tradicionalne tehnike vrednovanja te opisao trenutno vrednovanje kao dugotrajno, zahtjevno, nepouzdano i nedovoljno učinkovito. Većina je istaknula kako se pridržava trenutnih kurikularnih smjernica te vrednuje učenikovo poznavanje gramatike kroz pismene i komunikacijske zadatke. Ipak, diskretno su koristili gramatičke testove. Primijećena je manje učestala upotreba zadataka čitanja i slušanja s razumijevanjem. Ocjenjujući vlastite tehnike kao prihvatljive i dobre, učitelji su izrazili želju za promjenom upravo zbog loše kvalitete, zahtjevnosti tehnika i demotivirajućeg formativnog vrednovanja. Za kraj, aludirajući na preveliku upotrebu igara, učitelji su se ipak osvrnuli na prednosti alternativnog vrednovanja vidljive kroz raznolikost pismenih i komunikacijski zadataka te digitalne uređaje. Naveli su kako je za podučavanje i vrednovanje gramatike potrebno uključiti tradicionalne, ali i alternativne metode
The impact of atmospheric pollution from ships on human health
No full textKvaliteta zraka jedan je od važnih problema suvremenog društva. Posljedice onečišćenja zraka za ljude i okoliš uključuju povećanu učestalost pojave respiratornih i kardiovaskularnih bolesti, te acidifikaciju i eutrofikaciju. Stoga je neophodno poduzimati mjere kojima bi se smanjile emisije štetnih tvari u atmosferu. Iako je pomorski promet s aspekta očuvanja okoliša najpovoljniji način transporta ljudi i roba, ipak emitira velike količine onečišćujućih tvari. Najveći štetni utjecaj na zdravlje ljudi imaju dušikovi oksidi, sumporovi oksidi i lebdeće čestice. Onečišćenje zraka uzrokovano pomorskim prometom, naročito u lukama, značajno utječe na morbiditet, smrtnost i ekonomske učinke lokalnih zajednica. U radu su opisani štetni utjecaji tvari emitiranih s brodova na zdravlje ljudi, te najvažnije mjere za smanjenje emisija. Prikazana je uloga medicinskih sestara/tehničara u provođenju mjera za ublažavanje posljedica onečišćenja.Air quality is one of the important problems of modern society. The consequences of air pollution for people and the environment include an increased incidence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, as well as acidification and eutrophication. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to reduce emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. Although maritime transport is the most favorable way of transporting people and goods from the point of view of environmental protection, it still emits large amounts of pollutants. Nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and floating particles have the greatest harmful effect on human health. Air pollution caused by maritime traffic, especially in ports, significantly affects the morbidity, mortality, and economic effects of local communities. The paper describes the harmful effects of substances emitted from ships on human health and the most important measures to reduce emissions. The role of nurses/technicians in the implementation of measures to mitigate the consequences of pollution is presented
