VAŽNOST GLAZBENIH AKTIVNOSTI ZA CJELOVITI RAZVOJ DJETETA RANE I PREDŠKOLSKE DOBI
Glazbene aktivnosti izuzetno su značajne za cjeloviti razvoj svakog djeteta. Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati stavove odgojitelja predškolske djece o važnosti glazbenih aktivnosti za cjeloviti razvoj djeteta te njihovu samoprocjenu kompetencija za provođenje aktivnosti glazbenog programa u vrtiću s obzirom na stručnu spremu i godine radnog iskustva. Ispitivanje je provedeno putem online ankete na uzorku od 126 sudionika, odgojitelja predškolske djece iz Splitsko-dalmatinske županije. Za potrebe istraživanja konstruiran je upitnik koji se sastoji od dva dijela: Upitnik općih podataka i Stavovi odgojitelja predškolske djece o važnosti glazbenih aktivnosti za cjeloviti razvoj djeteta i samoprocjena njihove kompetentnosti za planiranje i provođenje aktivnosti glazbenog programa u vrtiću.
Rezultatima istraživanja potvrđeno je da nema razlike u stavovima odgojitelja o važnosti glazbenih aktivnosti za cjeloviti razvoj djeteta s obzirom na godine radnog iskustva i stručnu spremu. Naime, svi sudionici smatraju da su glazbene aktivnosti važne za cjeloviti razvoj svakog djeteta. Godine radnog iskustva i stručna sprema nisu se pokazale ni značajnim prediktorima samoprocjene kompetencija odgojitelja za planiranje i provođenje aktivnosti glazbenog programa u vrtiću. Odgojitelji se, bez obzira na godine radnog iskustva i razinu stručne spreme, procjenjuju umjereno kompetentnima za planiranje i provođenje aktivnosti glazbenog programa u vrtiću.Musical activities are extremely important for the overall development of every child. The goal of this research is to examine the attitudes of preschool teachers about the importance of musical activities for the overall development of children and their self-assessment of competence for conducting activities of the music program in kindergarten, with regard to professional qualifications and years of work experience. The survey was conducted via an online survey on a sample of 126 participants, educators of preschool children from the Split-Dalmatia County. For the purposes of the research, a questionnaire consisting of two parts was constructed: Questionnaire of general information and Attitudes of educators of preschool children on the importance of musical activities for the overall development of children and self-assessment of their competence for planning and implementing activities of the music program in kindergarten.
The results of the research confirmed that there is no difference in the educators' views on the importance of musical activities for the overall development of the child, considering the years of work experience and professional education. Namely, all participants believe that musical activities are important for the overall development of every child. Years of work experience and professional training did not prove to be significant predictors of self-assessment of educators' competencies for planning and implementing music program activities in kindergarten. Educators, regardless of years of work experience and level of professional education, are considered to be moderately competent in planning and implementing the activities of the music program in kindergarten
IKONOGRAFIJA I KULT BOGA HORUSA
Horus je egipatski bog sokol, štovan u raznim oblicima diljem Egipta. Njegova je pojava vrlo brzo i lako obilježila gotovo čitav period egipatske umjetnosti, a njegova božanska narav postupno je postajala štovana intenzivno u čitavoj Egipatskoj državi. Osnovni cilj istraživanja ovog rada je sažeto, ali pregledno, prikazati upravo ikonografiju i kult boga Horusa u njihovim šarolikim sličnostima i različitostima. Rad istražuje različite aspekte prikazivanja Horusa u umjetnosti te njegovu ulogu u staroegipatskoj mitologiji, a samim time i religijskim praksama. Metodologija rada također uključuje i analizu arheoloških nalaza te korištenje i temeljito proučavanje relevantne literature.
Rad je podijeljen na nekoliko cjelina, od kojih su, naravno, posebno istaknute one o ikonografiji i kultu. Horus je u prvom dijelu rada opisan u svojoj glavnoj ulozi, onoj egipatskog božanstva, a na to se odmah nadovezuje i legenda o njegovom rođenju i uzdizanju na vlast. Ikonografska analiza boga sadrži bitne i konstantno ponavljajuće prikaze i atribute, koji su detaljno analizirani i predočeni, dok se u nastavku obrađuje kult Horusa u Gornjem i Donjem Egiptu, prije i nakon sjedinjenja od strane kralja Narmera. Tragovi Horusovih prikaza i štovanja pronađeni su i na teritoriju Hrvatske države te obuhvaćeni u kontekstu ovog rada.
Rezultati istraživanja dovode do određenih zaključaka na svim obrađivanim poljima. Pokazuju načine na koje je Horus bio prikazivan u različitim oblicima, od sokola i čovjeka sa sokolovom glavom, pa sve do potpuno čovjekolikih prikaza te naglašavaju njegovu povezanost s kraljevskom vlašću i legitimnošću. Bio je, ne samo solarno, već i kozmičko božanstvo, a to su posebno odražavale njegove oči; desno oko simboliziralo je sunce, a lijevo mjesec te, naravno slavno 'Udjat'. Mit o Horusu obuhvaća njegovu borbu sa stricem Setom za egipatsko prijestolje, pri čemu Horus postaje simbol pobjede dobra nad zlom i legitimnog nasljedstva.
Zaključno, rad pruža sveobuhvatan pregled Horusove uloge u egipatskoj religiji i kulturi te istražuje kako su ti elementi oblikovali religioznu i kulturnu povijest starog Egipta i nekih ostalih područja. Istraživanje ističe značaj Horusa kao simbola moći, zaštite i božanskog autoriteta te ukazuje na njegov kontinuirani utjecaj kroz povijest.Horus is an Egyptian falcon god, venerated in various forms throughout Egypt. His presence quickly and easily marked almost the entire period of Egyptian art, and his divine nature gradually became intensely revered across the nation. The primary goal of this research is to provide a concise yet comprehensive depiction of the iconography and cult of Horus, highlighting their diverse similarities and differences. The paper examines various aspects of Horus’s depiction in art and his role in ancient Egyptian mythology, and consequently in religious practices. The methodology of the paper also includes the analysis of archaeological findings and the thorough study of relevant literature.
The paper is divided into several sections, with the most important ones focusing on iconography and cult. The first part describes Horus in his main role as an Egyptian deity, followed by the legend of his birth and rise to power. The iconographic analysis of the god includes some of the most common and significant depictions and attributes, which are detailed and presented, while the subsequent sections address the cult of Horus in Upper and Lower Egypt, both before and after the unification by King Narmer. Traces of Horus depictions and worship have been found on the territory of Croatia and are included in the context of this work.
The research results lead to certain conclusions in all examined fields. They demonstrate the ways Horus was depicted in different forms, from a falcon and a man with a falcon’s head to fully anthropomorphic depictions and emphasize his connection with royal power and legitimacy. He was not only a solar deity but also a cosmic one, best reflected in his eyes; the right eye symbolized the sun, the left the moon, and of course, the famous 'Udjat'. The myth of Horus includes his struggle with his uncle Set for the Egyptian throne, where Horus becomes a symbol of the triumph of good over evil and rightful inheritance.
In conclusion, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of Horus’s role in Egyptian religion and culture and examines how these elements shaped the religious and cultural history of ancient Egypt and some other areas. The research highlights Horus’s significance as a symbol of power, protection, and divine authority, and points to his enduring influence throughout history
"MENTAL RETREATS". AN INTERPRETATION OF STEFAN ZWEIG'S "CHESS STORY"
Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt eines der Schlüsselwerke der Exilliteratur: Die
Schachnovelle von Stefan Zweig. Dabei wird der Fokus auf die Interpretation des Inhaltes und
der Hauptfiguren gelegt. Die titelgebenden ,Mentalen Exerzitien‘ sind einer Äußerung des

Nazigefangenschaft nutzten kann. So werden in dieser Arbeit anhand der Novelle die Vorteile
und die Schattenseiten dieses Spiels untersucht.This work deals with one of the key works of exile literature: The Chess Novel by Stefan Zweig.
The focus is on the interpretation of the content and the main characters. The title-giving 'mental
exercises' are taken from a statement by the protagonist Dr. B., who is able to use chess as a
way out of Nazi captivity. In this work, the advantages and downsides of this game are
examined based on the novella
LEARNING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN CHILDREN WITH DYSLEXIA
U ovom se diplomskom radu istražuje utjecaj disleksije na proces učenja engleskog kao stranog jezika kod djece s disleksijom, s fokusom na identifikaciju specifičnih izazova i razvoj prilagođenih pedagoških strategija. Rad započinje teorijskim okvirom, u kojem se disleksija prepoznaje kao neurobiološki i jezično utemeljen poremećaj. Zatim se pojašnjava utjecaj disleksije na usvajanje stranih jezika i osobito engleskog jezika, nakon čega slijedi pregled strategija za poučavanje svih područja engleskog jezika učenika s disleksijom. U empirijskom dijelu rada, prikazano je istraživanje provedeno s četirima učenicama s disleksijom. Koristeći kvalitativnu metodologiju, koja obuhvaća intervjue i sudjelujuće promatranje sati engleskog jezika održanih s učenicama, rad istražuje kako se njihove specifične poteškoće manifestiraju u procesu učenja i koji pristupi pokazuju najveći potencijal za olakšavanje njihova obrazovnog napretka. Također je istražen i utjecaj individualne podrške na odnos učenica prema engleskom kao stranom jeziku. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali individualne razlike među načinima na koje učenice uče engleski jezik. Također je pokazano da neke od učenica imaju niže samopouzdanje, unatoč dobrom razumijevanju i višem akademskom uspjehu. Rezultati su također pokazali da posjećivanje radionica pomoći u učenju pozitivno djeluje na akademski uspjeh triju od četiriju učenica, ali i da posjećivanje radionica pozitivno djeluje na socio-emocionalni razvoj učenica.This thesis explores the impact of dyslexia on the process of learning English as a foreign language in children affected with the disability, with a focus on identifying specific challenges and adapting pedagogical strategies. The thesis begins with a theoretical framework in which dyslexia is described as a neurobiological and language-based disability. Next, the impact of dyslexia on foreign language acquisition is explained, with a focus on the acquisition of English. A number of strategies for teaching all areas of the English language to students with dyslexia are listed. In the empirical part of the thesis, a study conducted with four dyslexic students is presented. Through qualitative methodology, which includes interviews and participatory observation of English language classes with the students, the thesis explores how their specific difficulties manifest in the learning process and which approaches show the greatest potential for facilitating their educational progress. The impact of individualised support on the students' attitude towards English as a foreign language is also explored. The research results have shown individual differences in the ways the students learn English. Furthermore, they show that some of the students have lower self-confidence, despite having a good understanding of the foreign language and high academic achievement. The results have also shown that attending learning support workshops positively impacts the academic success of three out of four students, as well as the socio-emotional development of the students
Critical discourse analysis of newspaper articles reporting on the COVID-19
Pandemija uzrokovana koronavirusom promijenila je naĉin na koji ljudi komuniciraju i dijele informacije. Mijenjaju se razmišljanja ljudi u skladu s novim okolnostima i osobnim iskustvima. U ovoj disertaciji u okviru kritiĉke analize diskursa analiziraju se razliĉiti uĉinci pandemije na temelju korpusa koji saĉinjavaju ĉlanci ameriĉkih dnevnih novina The New York Timesa, a koji izvještavaju o svjetskoj zdravstvenoj krizi 2020. i 2021. godine. Budući da se u ovakvoj situaciji obiljeţenoj iznenadnom pandemijom jezik ne moţe odvojiti od društvenog, ekonomskog ili politiĉkog konteksta, u radu se koristi interdisciplinarni pristup kritiĉke analize diskursa. Teorijski dio disertacije ukljuĉuje sâm razvoj kritiĉke analize diskursa, razlike izmeĊu diskursa i teksta, vezu izmeĊu diskursa, moći, ideologije i hegemonije, utjecaj globalizacije na jezik, definiciju konteksta te karakteristike medijskog diskursa. Jezik se koristi za informiranje i upozoravanje ĉitatelja o širenju virusa i njegovim uĉincima, ali istovremeno utjeĉe i na kreiranje svijesti o odnosima moći, dominaciji te društvenim nejednakostima. Novinari informiraju ĉitatelje o trenutaĉnoj zdravstvenoj krizi i poduzetim mjerama te socioekonomskim uĉincima krize, što rezultira i velikim promjenama u jeziku. U analizi korpusa koristi se trodimenzijski model Normana Fairclougha u kombinaciji s analizom mikrostruktura i makrostruktura Teuna Van Dijka. Prvi dio istraţivaĉkog dijela rada odnosi se na lingvistiĉku analizu teksta koja ukljuĉuje leksik te se u radu utvrĊuje uĉestalost izraza povezanih s pandemijom uzrokovanom koronavirusom, uz analizu neologizama s obzirom na njihovu tvorbu. Osim leksika, u okviru intertekstualnosti istraţuje se i uloga upravnog i neupravnog govora, analizirajući tri aspekta: naĉin, glagole izvješćivanja i izvore. Kritiĉka analiza diskursa, kao interdisciplinarni pristup, nije usredotoĉena samo na lingvistiĉku analizu teksta, stoga se u radu analiziraju i odnosi moći koji se kanaliziraju putem jezika u okvirima socioekonomskog i politiĉkog konteksta. Na taj se naĉin ţeli postići kritiĉko promišljanje ĉitatelja o utjecaju medijskog jezika na ĉitatelje u kriznim situacijama te ukazati kako novonastala situacija mijenja naĉin izvještavanja u pisanim medijima.The pandemic caused by the coronavirus has changed the way people communicate and share information. People's thinking changes according to new circumstances and personal experiences. In this dissertation, within the framework of critical discourse analysis, the different effects of the pandemic are analyzed based on the corpus of articles from the American daily newspaper, The New York Times, which reports on the global health crisis in 2020 and 2021. Since in such a situation marked by a sudden pandemic, language cannot be separated from the social, economic or political context, the paper uses an interdisciplinary approach of critical discourse analysis. The theoretical part of the dissertation includes the very development of the critical discourse analysis, the differences between discourse and text, the connection between discourse, power, ideology and hegemony, the impact of globalization on language, the definition of context and the characteristics of media discourse. Language is used to inform and warn readers about the spread of the virus and its effects, but at the same time it also affects the creation of awareness about power relations, dominance and social inequalities. Journalists inform readers about the current health crisis and the measures taken, as well as the socioeconomic effects of the crisis, which results in major changes in the language. In the analysis of the corpus, the three-dimensional model of Norman Fairclough is used in combination with the analysis of microstructures and macrostructures of Teun Van Dijk. The first part of the research part of the paper refers to the linguistic analysis of the text, which includes the vocabulary, and the paper determines the frequency of expressions related to the pandemic caused by the coronavirus, along with the analysis of neologisms with regard to their creation. In addition to lexical, the role of direct and indirect speech is also investigated within the framework of intertextuality, where three aspects are analyzed: mode, reporting verbs and sources. Critical discourse analysis, as an interdisciplinary approach, does not focus only on the linguistic analysis of the text, and therefore the paper also analyzes the power relations that are channeled through language within the framework of the socioeconomic and political context. In this way, the aim is to achieve a critical reflection of readers on the impact of the media language on readers in crisis and to point out the way in which the newly created situation changes the way of reporting in the written media
Willingnes of Parents and Educators to Cooperate in Inclusive Education
Za uspješnu suradnju roditelja i odgojitelja u inkluzivnom odgoju i obrazovanju, potrebno je utvrditi spremnost odgojitelja za istu. Zajedničkim djelovanjem, kvalitetnom suradnjom i komunikacijom stvara se pozitivno i vedro ozračje te osjećaj povjerenja i sigurnosti kod djece.
Istraživanje o spremnosti odgojitelja za suradnju s roditeljima je provedeno u veljači i ožujku 2024. godine na području Splitsko-dalmatinske županije. Cilj istraživanja bio je potaknuti odgojitelje na promišljanje o važnosti suradnje u inkluzivnom odgoju i obrazovanju i spremnosti na istu radi osiguranja kvalitetnijih uvjeta za svu djecu. Stavovi o spremnosti za suradnju s roditeljima u inkluzivnom odgoju i obrazovanju ispitani su na 115 odgojitelja online upitnikom putem Google obrasca. Rezultati su pokazali da je za kvalitetnu suradnju s roditeljima potrebno neprestano stručno usavršavanje koje pridonosi pozitivnim stavovima, razvoju kompetencija, sigurnosti u vlastite percepcije i zadovoljstvom u radu.For successful cooperation between parents and educators in inclusive education, it is necessary to determine the readiness of educators for the same. Joint action, quality cooperation and communication creates a positive and cheerful atmosphere and a sense of trust and security in children.
The research on the readiness of educators for cooperation with parents was conducted in February and March 2024 in the Split-Dalmatia County. The aim of the research was to encourage educators to think about the importance of cooperation in inclusive education and readiness for it in order to ensure better conditions for all children. Attitudes about willingness to cooperate with parents in inclusive education were examined on 115 educators with an online questionnaire via google form. The results have shown that for quality cooperation with parents, continuous professional development is needed, which contributes to positive attitudes, development of competencies, certainty in its own perceptions and satisfaction in work
RUMI'S PHILOSOPHY
Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi, poznatiji kao Rumi, bio je perzijski pjesnik, mistik i filozof iz 13. stoljeća čija djela i dalje imaju dubok utjecaj na duhovnu misao. Rumijeva se filozofija vrti oko središnje teme božanske ljubavi kao konačnog puta do duhovne spoznaje i jedinstva s božanskim. Rumijeva učenja oslanjaju se na sufističku tradiciju, zalažući se za njegovanje vrlina kao što su poniznost, strpljenje, povjerenje u Božju providnost i zahvalnost kao bitne prakse na putu samospoznaje. Središnje mjesto u njegovoj filozofiji je pojam ljubavi i čežnje ljudske duše za ponovnim sjedinjenjem sa svojim božanskim porijeklom, put kojeg karakterizira unutarnje pročišćenje, samo-nadilaženje i spoznaja jedinstva sa svim stvorenim.Mevlana Jalal al-Din Rumi, better known as Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, mystic, and philosopher whose works continue to have a profound influence on spiritual thought. Rumi's philosophy revolves around the central theme of divine love as the ultimate path to spiritual knowledge and union with the divine. Rumi's teachings draw on the Sufi tradition, advocating the cultivation of virtues such as humility, patience, trust in God's providence, and gratitude as essential practices on the path to self-realization. Central to his philosophy is the notion of love and the longing of the human soul for reunification with its divine origin, a path characterized by inner purification, self-transcendence and the realization of oneness with all creation
VENETIAN MILITARY ARCHITECTURE OF THE CITY OF SINJ
U ovom diplomskom radu obraĊena je tema mletaĉke vojne arhitekture grada Sinja koju ĉine: tvrĊava Stari Grad, tvrĊava Kamiĉak i konjaniĉka vojarna Kvartiri. Mletaĉka Republika uspjela je 1686. godine osloboditi Sinj od osmanske vlasti, koja je potrajala punih 170 godina. Pored obnove Starog Grada, mleĉani su poĉetkom 18. stoljeća, u podnoţju stare utvrde, sagradili novu manju utvrdu Kamiĉak. Za njenu gradnju zasluţni su protomajstori Ivan (Ignacije) Macanović zvani Raguzeo, Antun Cincidelo te Toma Kazoti. Nedugo nakon nje podignuta je i vojarna za konjicu odnosno Kvartiri. Ova konjaniĉka vojarna podignuta je za potrebe konjaniĉke postrojbe Cavalliera Croata, a na njenoj izgradnji radio je mletaĉki inţenjer Antonio Ferrari.This thesis deals with the topic of the Venetian military architecture of the city of Sinj, which consists of: the Stari Grad fortress, the Kamiĉak fortress and the Kvartiri cavalry barracks. In 1686, the Republic of Venice succeeded in liberating Sinj from Ottoman rule, which lasted for a full 170 years. In addition to the restoration of the Old Town, in the early 18th century, at the foot of the old fort, the Venetians built a new, smaller fort, Kamiĉak. The master craftsmen Ivan (Ignacie) Macanović aka Raguzeo, Antun Cincidelo and Toma Kazoti are responsible for its construction. Not long after it, the barracks for the cavalry, or Kvartiri, were built. This cavalry barracks was built for the needs of the Cavalliera Croata cavalry unit, and the Venetian engineer Antonio Ferrari worked on its construction
READING HABITS OF STUDENTS OF FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN SPLIT
Zbog trenutnog trenda opadanja navike čitanja, vrlo je važno fokusirati se na dodatna istraživanja i načine promicanja dobrih čitalačkih navika. Cilj ovog rada bio je prikazati literaturu vezanu za čitalačke navike, te ispitati kako ovaj trend utječe na studente; koliko čitaju, što čitaju, čitaju li više studentice od studenata, te preferiraju li knjižnicu, ili pak digitalne oblike materijala. Uzorak istraživanja bili su studenti i studentice Filozofskog fakulteta u Splitu, dok je način prikupa podataka bila anketa provedena u periodu kolovoz/rujan 2024. Rezultati su pokazali da muški studenti ne čitaju nužno više nego studentice, te da preferiraju povijesne romane, thrillere i non-fiction literaturu. Nadalje, studenti i studentice ne izražavaju veću naklonost prema materijalima nevezanih za nastavu i stručnih radova vezanih za njihov studij – čitaju ih u istoj mjeri, dok studenti zapravo čitaju stručne materijale češće nego studentice. Kada je u pitanju nabava materijala, odbacuje se hipoteza da studenti preferiraju knjižnicu, koja u rezultatima zauzima drugo mjesto, tek ispod osobne kupnje, koja je najviše odabrana metoda. Usprkos COVID pandemiji zbog koje je digitalno čitanje podosta poraslo, ovo istraživanje utvrđuje kako studenti i studentice još uvijek preferiraju fizičke materijale za čitanje.Due to the current trend of declining reading habits, it is very important to focus on additional research and ways to promote good reading habits. The aim of this paper was to present literature related to reading habits, and to examine how this trend affects students; how much they read, what they read, whether female students read more than male students, and whether they prefer the library or digital forms of material. The research sample was male and female students of the Faculty of Philosophy in Split, while the method of data collection was a survey conducted in the period August/September 2024. The results showed that male students do not necessarily read more than female students, and that they prefer historical novels, thrillers and non-fiction literature. Furthermore, male and female students do not express a greater preference for materials not related to classes and professional papers related to their studies - they read them to the same extent, while male students actually read professional materials more often than female students. When it comes to purchasing materials, the hypothesis that students prefer the library is rejected, which ranks second in the results, just
below personal purchase, which is the most chosen method. Despite the COVID pandemic, which has caused digital reading to increase significantly, this research finds that male and female students still prefer physical reading materials
USMENOKNJIŽEVNI OBLICI U CRKVENO-PUČKOJ BAŠTINI IMOTE
Usmene priče, običaji, molitve i pjesme oblikuju društvo i njegovu zajednicu. Običaj koji se čuva godinama može biti poučan za novu generaciju i zadržati ljude u zajedništvu. U ovome radu naglasak se stavlja na običaje, molitve i pjesme na području Ciste Provo i nekih drugih okolnih mjesta. Usmenoknjiževni oblici u crkveno – pučkoj baštini i danas se čuvaju i ljudi ih se rado prisjećaju. Usmena je književnost najstariji oblik stvaranja nekog književno – umjetničkog djela. Temeljni je zadatak rada istražiti običaje vezane uz kršćansku liturgiju, pjesme koje su se pjevale, ili se još pjevaju na čast nekog sveca ili za vrijeme određenog blagdana te kako su ljudi neke stvari iz davnina sačuvali i danas drže do njih.Oral stories, customs, prayers and songs shape society and its community. A custom that has been preserved for years can be educational for a new generation and keep people together. In this paper, the emphasis is placed on customs, prayers and song sin the area of Cista Provo and some other surrounding places. Oral literary forms in the ecclesiastical and folk heritage are still preserved today and people remember them fondly. Oral literature is the oldest formo f creating a literary and artistic work. The fundamental task of the work is to investigate customs related to the Christian liturgy, songs that were sung, or are still sung in honor of a saint of during a certain holiday, and how people have preserved and continue to value certain traditions from anicent times and still hold on to them today
