Gender roles in Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić's Croatian tales of long ago
Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić jedna je od istaknutijih autora, ako ne i najistaknutija, autora hrvatske dječje književnosti. Unatoč vanjskim utjecajima patrijarhata, u kontekstu ženskih uloga u zbirci Priče iz davnine vidljiva je interna borba s naučenim i onim čime osjeća da je pravilno. Već je uvriježena i opće-priznata formulacija bajke takva da marginalizira žensku uloga i kao takvu se objektivizira, a u radu se raspravlja o izvorima i teorijama takvoga načina formuliranja dječje književnosti. U radu će se povezivati mitološko podrijetlo s objektiviziranjem i negativnom prikazom žena, a najviše će se povezati s ruskom mitologijom, konkretno s ruskim autorom Afansjevim. Pisat će se o rodu općenito, ali i u kontekstu rodnih uloga koje su zastupljene u bajkama. Nakon općenitoga prikaza žena u bajkama i objašnjavanja odakle potječe negativan stav prema ženama u povijesti, svaka bajka iz zbirke Priče iz davnine obradit će se po upravo po rodnim ulogama koje opisuje. Kostur bajki prikazat će se u kontekstu ambivalencije ženskih likova i autoričine unutarnje borbe s nametnutim patrijarhatom.Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić is one of the most prominent, if not the most prominent, author of Croatian children's literature. Despite the external influences of patriarchy, in the context of women's roles in the collection Tales from the Long Ago, an internal struggle with what has been learned and what is felt to be correct is visible. The wording of the fairy tale is already established and generally recognized as such that it marginalizes the female role and is objectified as such, and the paper discusses the sources and theories of such a way of formulating children's literature. In the paper, the mythological origin will be connected with the objectification and negative portrayal of women, and it will be mostly connected with Russian mythology, specifically with the Russian author Afansyev. It will be written about gender in general, but also in the context of gender roles that are represented in fairy tales. After a general presentation of women in fairy tales and an explanation of where the negative attitude towards women in history originates, each fairy tale from the collection Tales from the Long Ago will be treated precisely according to the gender roles it describes. The skeleton of the fairy tales will be presented in the context of the ambivalence of the female characters and the author's internal struggle with the imposed patriarchy
RAD S DJECOM S GOVORNO-JEZIČNIM POREMEĆAJIMA U OSNOVNIM ŠKOLAMA
Komunikacija je ključna za izražavanje želja, ideja i potreba te uspostavljanje društvenih
odnosa. Govor je važan oblik komunikacije, a razvoj govora i jezika odvija se od rođenja kroz
interakciju s okolinom. Iako je komunikacija prirodan proces, neka djeca se suočavaju s
teškoćama u tom području. Govorno-jezični poremećaji obuhvaćaju različite teškoće u
artikulaciji, izgovoru, razumijevanju jezika i socijalnoj komunikaciji. Osim toga, ovi
poremećaji mogu utjecati na samopouzdanje djece, što dodatno otežava njihov akademski
napredak i socijalnu interakciju. Nastavnici trebaju biti osviješteni o različitim vrstama
govorno-jezičnih poremećaja kako bi bolje razumjeli izazove s kojima se suočavaju njihovi
učenici. Dodatno, važno je razvijati strategije i tehnike koje olakšavaju komunikaciju i učenje
za ove učenike. Pristup koji kombinira individualiziranu podršku, kreativne nastavne metode i
suradnju s logopedima ili stručnjacima za jezični razvoj može biti izuzetno učinkovit u
poboljšanju govorno-jezičnih vještina djece s poremećajima. Nadalje, nastavnici imaju ključnu
ulogu u radu s ovom skupinom učenika, stoga je važno istražiti njihove stavove kako bi se bolje
razumjeli izazovi i potrebe u obrazovnom kontekstu. Cilj rada je istražiti stavove nastavnika o
radu s ovom skupinom učenika, identificirati izazove i potrebe te potaknuti daljnji razvoj
inkluzivnog obrazovanja. Rezultati istraživanja mogu poslužiti za unaprjeđenje profesionalnog
razvoja nastavnika i razvoj smjernica za podršku učenicima s poremećajima jezično-govorne
komunikacije. Ova analiza doprinosi boljem razumijevanju kompleksnosti ovih poremećaja i
važnosti inkluzivnog pristupa u osiguravanju jednakih mogućnosti za sve učenike.Communication is crucial for expressing desires, ideas, and needs, as well as for establishing
social relationships. Speech is an important form of communication, and the development of
speech and language begins from birth through interactions with the environment. Although
communication is a natural process, some children face difficulties in this area. Speech and
language disorders encompass various challenges in articulation, pronunciation, language
comprehension, and social communication. Furthermore, these disorders can impact children's
self-confidence, further complicating their academic progress and social interaction. Teachers
need to be aware of different types of speech and language disorders in order to understand the
challenges their students face. Additionally, it is important to develop strategies and techniques
that facilitate communication and learning for these students. An approach that combines
individualized support, creative teaching methods, and collaboration with speech therapists or
language development experts can be highly effective in improving the speech and language
skills of children with disorders. Furthermore, teachers play a pivotal role in working with this
group of students, thus it is essential to explore their attitudes to better comprehend the
challenges and needs in an educational context. The aim of this study is to examine teachers'
attitudes towards working with this group of students, identify challenges and needs, and
promote further development of inclusive education. The research findings can contribute to
enhancing teachers' professional development and developing guidelines to support students
with language and communication disorders. This analysis contributes to a better understanding
of the complexity of these disorders and the importance of an inclusive approach in ensuring
equal opportunities for all students
Research Development of Risk and Protective Factors in Family Enviorment
Obiteljsko okruženje predstavlja značajnu komponentu u životima pojedinaca, igrajući značajnu ulogu u emocionalnom, socijalnom i kognitivnom razvoju djeteta. U obitelji se formiraju temeljne vrijednosti, odnosi i interakcije koje oblikuju karakter i utječu na ponašanje pojedinca. Unutar tog okvira rizični i zaštitni čimbenici imaju velik utjecaj na pojedince, a posebice na djecu i adolescente. Rizični čimbenici u obiteljskom okruženju uključuju elemente koji mogu ugroziti dobrobit članova obitelji. To može obuhvaćati nedostatak podrške, konflikte, zloupotrebu supstanci, nasilje ili emocionalno zanemarivanje. S druge strane, zaštitni čimbenici predstavljaju faktore koji pružaju emocionalnu sigurnost, podršku i stabilnost unutar obitelji, kao što su kvalitetna komunikacija, bliske emocionalne veze i pozitivna roditeljska figura. Prepoznavanje i identifikacija rizičnih i zaštitnih čimbenika ključna je za osiguravanje najboljih mogućih uvjeta za razvoj djeteta, te pružanje podrške obiteljima i djeci u riziku, kako bi se maksimalno umanjila vjerojatnost razvoja poremećaja u ponašanju i delikventnih ponašanja.Family environment represents a significant component in lives of individuals, with an important part in a child's social, emotional and cognitive development. In the family environment, fundamental values, relationships and interactions are formed, which shape the character and influence the behavior of the individual. Within this framework, risk and protective factors have a great influence on individuals, especially on children and adolescents. Risk factors in the family environment include elements that can threaten the well-being of family members. This can include lack of support, conflict, substance abuse, violence or emotional neglect. On the other hand, protective factors represent factors that provide emotional security, support and stability within the family, such as quality communication, close emotional ties and a positive parental figure. Recognition and identification of risk and protective factors is essential for ensuring the best possible conditions for child development, and providing support to families and children at risk, in order to maximally reduce the likelihood of developing behavioral disorders and delinquent behaviors
Impact of the COVID 19 Pandemic on Small Renters in Split-Dalmatia County
Istraživanje utjecaja COVID-19 na različite industrije iznimno je značajno u kontekstu
identificiranja ključnih čimbenika odgovora na krizu, a kako bi se lakše prilagodilo sličnim
situacijama u budućnosti. S tim u vidu, ovaj rad istražuje utjecaj pandemije COVID-19 na
male iznajmljivače u Splitsko-dalmatinskoj županiji. S obzirom na neupitan utjecaj
pandemije na čitav turistički sektor, ciljevi rada bili su utvrditi postojanje ekonomskog i
društvenog utjecaja pandemije COVID-19 na male iznajmljivače u Splitsko-dalmatinskoj
županiji kao i utvrđivanje strategije oporavka od krize uzrokovane pandemijom COVID-19.
Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom ljeta 2023. godine metodom anketne. Analizirani su i
podaci Državnog zavoda za statistiku o malim iznajmljivačima u navedenoj županiji. Mali
iznajmljivači su u velikoj mjeri osjetili i ekonomske i društvene posljedice krize uzrokovane
pandemijom COVID-19, iako su poduzeli maleni broj vlastitih mjera za nošenje sa krizom.Researching the impact of COVID-19 on various industries is extremely important in the
context of identifying the key factors of the response to the crisis, in order to more easily
adapt to similar situations in the future. With this in mind, this paper researches the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on small renters in Split-Dalmatia County. Considering the
unquestionable impact of the pandemic on the entire tourism sector, the aims of the research
were to determine the existence of the economic and social impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on small renters in the Split-Dalmatia County, as well as to determine the recovery
strategy from the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted
during the summer of 2023 using the survey method. Data from the National Bureau of
Statistics on small renters in the Split-Dalmatia County were also analyzed. Small renters
have felt the economic and social consequences of the crisis caused by the COVID-19
pandemic to a great extent, although they have taken a small number of their own measures
to deal with the crisis
MULTIMODALNA ANALIZA REPREZENTACIJE GRUPE TNT U STRIPOVNOM SERIJALU ALAN FORD
Medij stripa u prošlosti je smatram nečim trivijalnim, nazivan često sporednom umjetnošću. Razvojem lingvističkih disciplina, stripovni stil postaje zanimljiv brojnim teoretičarima i stilističarima upravo zbog svoje složene semiotičke prirode. Stoga je stripovni tekst više od lingvističkog fenomena, on je i multimodalan sustav organiziranih modusa u kulturološkom okviru. U ovom radu naglasak je na multimodalnom prikazu trojice likova proučavane Grupe TNT: glavnom „junaku“ Alanu Fordu, njegovu partneru Bobu Rocku te vođi Grupe, Broju Jedan. Cilj je ovoga rada da analizom osnovnih obilježja stripa i suodnosa vizualnih i jezičnih elemenata u prikazu trojice analiziranih likova prikažem na koji način Bunker i Magnus čitatelju prenose svoje ideje i misli, kako prikazuju likove na jezičnoj i slikovnoj razini te tako stvaraju posebnu dinamiku stripa. U radu se upotrebljavaju analitički pojmovi i alati nastali na susretištu strukturalističke stilistike i diskursne stilistike te sociosemiotičke struje multimodalne stilistike, prvenstveno s fokusom na sliku i jezični aspekt.In the past, the medium of comics was considered to be something trivial, often referred to as secondary art. Along with the development of linguistic disciplines, comic book style became interesting to numerous theorists and stylists, precisely because of its complex semiotic nature. Therefore, comic text is actually more than a linguistic phenomenon; it is also a multimodal system of organized modes in a cultural framework. In this paper, the emphasis is put on the multimodal presentation of the three characters of the studied TNT group: the main "hero" Alan Ford, his partner Bob Rock and the leader of the group, Number One. The aim of this paper is to analyze the basic features of the comic and the correlation of visual and linguistic elements in the portrayal of the three analyzed characters to show how Bunker and Magnus conveyed their ideas and thoughts to the reader; how they portrayed the characters on a linguistic and pictorial level and, thus, created a special dynamic of the comic. Analytical concepts and tools created at the meeting point of structural and discourse stylistics and the social semiotic current of multimodal stylistics are used, primarily focusing on the image and linguistic aspect
POVIJESNA REKONSTRUKCIJA LEGENDE O MILJENKU I DOBRILI
Tragična priča o kaštelanskim ljubavnicima Miljenku i Dobrili, zahvaljujući usmenoj
predaji i romanu Marka Kažotića, Miljenko i Dobrila, obitava primarno na kaštelanskom, ali i
na znatno širem području već četiri stoljeća te se prometnula u glavni kaštelanski turistički
brend i zaštitno lice grada. Prema legendi, ljubav između dvoje članova uglednih kaštelanskih
obitelji, Miljenka Rosanija (Rušinić) i Dobrile Vitturi od početka biva osuđena na propast zbog
spora između navedenih obitelji koje su nekoć bile vrlo bliske. Nakon obreda vjenčanja, na
samom kraju svadbenog slavlja, Dobrilin otac, konte Vitturi, na mostu svog kaštela ubija
novopečenog zeta Miljenka te tim činom osuđuje i vlastitu kćer na smrt. Nedugo nakon
Miljenka, od tuge umire i Dobrila, a mladenci su pokopani u crkvi sv. Ivana u Rušincu, a na
grobu im stoji natpis Pokoj ljubovnikom. U radu se znanstvenim metodama, od kojih se
primarno nameću metoda dokazivanja i njoj oprečna, metoda opovrgavanja, provela povijesna
rekonstrukcija legende izdvajanjem najistaknutijih elemenata iste kako bi se dokazala ili
opovrgla njihova povijesna istinitost.The tragic story of the Kaštela lovers Miljenko and Dobrila, thanks to oral tradition and
the novel Miljenko and Dobrila by Marko Kažotić, has lived primarily in the Kaštela, but also
in a much wider area for four centuries and has become the main tourist brand of Kaštela and
the face of the city. According to legend, the love between the two members of prominent
families from Kaštela, Miljenko Rosani (Rušinić) and Dobrila Vitturi, was doomed from the
start due to a dispute between the aforementioned families, which were once very close. After
the wedding ceremony, at the very end of the wedding celebration, Dobrila's father, Count
Vitturi, kills his newly married son-in-law Miljenko on the bridge of his castle, thereby
condemning his own daughter to death. Not long after Miljenko, Dobrila also died of grief, and
the newlyweds were buried in the church of St. John in Rušinac, and on their grave is the
inscription Let the lovers rest in peace. In the paper, the historical reconstruction of the legend
was carried out by means of scientific methods, of which the method of proof and the opposite
method of refutation are primarily imposed, by extracting the most prominent elements of the
same, which were processed by means of scientific methods in order to prove or disprove their
historical veracity
PRAGMATISCHE FUNKTIONEN UND SEMANTISCHE EIGENSCHAFTEN VON EUPHEMISMEN IN DER SPRACHE DER POLITIK
In dieser Arbeit werden Euphemismen in der politischen Sprache untersucht, wobei
der Schwerpunkt auf ihren semantischen Eigenschaften und pragmatischen Funktionen, bzw.
auf dem Prozess ihrer Bedeutungsentwicklung liegt, der in verschiedenen Kontexten
unterschiedlich verläuft. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird ein Überblick über die Definition von
Politik gegeben, gefolgt von der Beschreibung von Eigenschaften politischer Sprache, um
eine Grundlage für den Umgang mit Euphemismen zu schaffen. Euphemismen zeichnen sich
durch eine Vielfalt semantischer Bedeutungen aus und ihre Verwendung bei öffentlichen
Reden der Politiker und in den Medien spielt im politischen Handeln eine weitreichende
Rolle. Ihre Fähigkeit, bereits etablierte Bedeutungen zu verändern und neue Konnotationen
zu erzeugen, steht in direktem Zusammenhang mit ihren zahlreichen pragmatischen Zwecken.
In dieser Arbeit wird die Beziehung zwischen semantischen Eigenschaften und
pragmatischen Funktionen beschrieben, anhand von Beispielen aus verschiedenen Bereichen
der Politik, die in den Medien aktuell sind, wie z.B. dem Krieg in der Ukraine oder dem
Klimawandel.Politics represents a part of human activity that affects many other areas of society
and therefore requires a special use of language, that differs from the everyday language. The
language of politics is rich in rhetorical devices that help to engage in conversations about
sensitive issues that can be crucial in political discussions. Politically active people tend to
use broad terms with general meaning with an ambiguous effect to fulfill one of the most
important tasks of political communication, which is to influence public opinion.
Euphemisms as inoffensive and softening expressions are mostly used for this purpose and
their performance rests on three different aspects: ambiguity, vocabulary from different
subject areas, and numerous linguistic forms through which they can be realized.
In the process of creating a euphemism, words from everyday language acquire new
functions and therefore new, softening meanings. This change in meaning lays its foundations
in connotation. Terms that already have their denotative meaning in the vocabulary are given
a new meaning depending on the context which they are euphemised in. The goal is to create
a term with a seemingly moral and socially acceptable meaning, which, as a connotative
meaning, should evoke positive emotions in recipients (in political language, the recipient is
the public).
The positive meaning of euphemisms can have different pragmatic functions, among
which the most salient is the concealing and disguising function. To determine the function,
it is important to examine the context of a given euphemism. Political euphemisms are created
according to the political area they appear in, which can be divided into two main areas:
domestic and foreign policy of a particular country. Euphemisms in politics are generally used
to influence public opinion and win electorate votes, as well as to conceal the negative effects
of certain political actions
OBILJEŽJA RODITELJSTVA U ODNOSU NA PROBLEME U PONAŠANJU KOD DJECE RANE I PREDŠKOLSKE DOBI
Obiteljsko okruženje i uloge roditelja utječu na razvoj djece. Različite obiteljske strukture i
roditeljska ponašanja mogu utjecati na razvoj problema u ponašanju kod djece, s naglaskom na
prepoznavanje rizičnih i zaštitnih čimbenika kod djece. Pozitivna roditeljska ponašanja su ona
koja potiču djetetov zdrav razvoj, emocionalnu dobrobit i samopouzdanje dok negativna
ponašanja čine elementi koji su najčešće preduvjet za razvijanje problema u ponašanju.
Roditelji također biraju određeni roditeljski stil odgoja od kojih neki povećavaju mogućnost
pojave problema u ponašanju. Za provedbu analize uloge roditeljskog ponašanja istražuju se
dva ključna aspekta: emocionalni angažman i razina kontrole. Suvremeno društvo prepoznaje
raznolikost obiteljskih dinamika, a ekološke teorije, poput Bronfenbrennerove, temeljito
objašnjavaju interakcije unutar obitelji. Različiti oblici problema u ponašanju zahtijevaju
pažljivo razmatranje i pristup kako bi se osigurala adekvatna podrška djetetu. Podršku djetetu
može pružiti kompetentan roditelj koji je sposoban na pravi način odgovoriti na potrebe djeteta
i koji svakodnevno aktivira sve komponente roditeljskih metakompetencija.The family environment and the roles of parents influence children's development. Different
family structures and parental behaviors can influence the development of behavioral problems
in children, with an emphasis on identifying risk and protective factors in children. Positive
parenting behaviors are those that promote the child's healthy development, emotional wellbeing
and self-confidence, while negative behaviors are elements that are most often a
prerequisite for the development of behavioral problems. Parents also choose a certain
parenting style, some of which increase the possibility of behavior problems. To carry out the
analysis of the role of parental behavior, two key aspects are investigated: emotional
engagement and level of control. Contemporary society recognizes the diversity of family
dynamics, and ecological theories, such as Bronfenbrenner's, thoroughly explain the
interactions within the family. Different forms of behavioral problems require careful
consideration and approach to ensure adequate support for the child. Support for the child can
be provided by a competent parent who is able to respond to the child's needs in the right way
and who activates all components of parental metacompetencies on a daily basis
GERMANY-CHINA MILITARY AND INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS
Njemačko-kineska suradnja u vojnom i industrijskom području između dva svjetska
rata usko je vezana uz njemačku vojnu misiju u Kini 1927.-1938. Gospodarske i političke
prilike u Njemačkoj i Kini tijekom međuratnog razdoblja će zbližiti te dvije zemlje.
Njemačka vojna misija će stvoriti preduvjete za suradnju između dvije države, od koje su
obje imale koristi. Njemačka vojna misija je trajala otprilike jedno desetljeće, tijekom kojeg
je imala nekoliko šefova. Bitno je naglasiti da unatoč tome što je bila vojnog karaktera, ona
se nije isključivo fokusirala na vojna pitanja. Bavila se vojnim, industrijskim, gospodarskim i
diplomatskim pitanjima odnosa između dviju zemalja. Misija počinje s Maxom Bauerom koji
ostvaruje početne kontakte, te okuplja zainteresirane njemačke časnike. Zbog svoje smrti
Bauer će kratko biti šef misije, ali će ostvariti obećavajući početak. Njegovi nasljednici
Hermann Kriebel i Georg Wetzell neće ostvariti dobar dojam zbog manjka razumijevanja za
kineske političke prilike i tijekom njihovog mandata njemačka misija ulazi u krizu. Odnosi
Kineza i njemačkih časnika će pasti na niske grane, u tolikoj mjeri da je Chiang Kai-shek
skoro prekinuo suradnju. Godine 1934. Hans von Seeckt postaje glavnim savjetnikom. Uspio
je popraviti narušene odnose i misiji daje novi polet. Mandati von Seeckta i njegovog
nasljednika Alexandera von Falkenhausena označit će vrhunac ostvarenja njemačke misije.
Von Falkenhausen preuzima vodstvo misije 1935. i bit će posljednji šef misije. Njemačka
vojna misija završava 1938. kada izbija Drugi kinesko-japanski rat. Hitler će tada zbog
solidarnosti sa svojim novim saveznikom Japanom povući njemačke časnike.German-Chinese cooperation in the military and industrial sectors between the two
World Wars is closely tied to the German military mission in China from 1927 to 1938.
Economic and political conditions in Germany and China during the interwar period brought
these two countries closer together. The German military mission laid the groundwork for
collaboration between the two states, both of which benefited from it. The German military
mission lasted for approximately a decade, during which it had several leaders. It's important
to emphasize that despite its military nature, it didn't exclusively focus on military matters. It
dealt with military, industrial, economic, and diplomatic issues in the relationship between
the two countries. The mission began with Max Bauer, who established initial contacts and
gathered interested German officers. Due to Bauer's death, he briefly headed the mission but
made a promising start. His successors Hermann Kriebel and Georg Wetzell didn't make a
good impression due to their lack of understanding of Chinese political conditions, and
during their tenure, the German mission faced a crisis. Relations between the Chinese and
German officers deteriorated to the point that Chiang Kai-shek nearly terminated the
cooperation. In 1934, Hans von Seeckt became the chief advisor. He managed to mend the
strained relations and gave the mission a new impetus. The terms of von Seeckt and his
successor Alexander von Falkenhausen marked the peak of the German mission's
achievements. Von Falkenhausen took over the mission's leadership in 1935 and became its
final head. The German military mission concluded in 1938 with the outbreak of the Second
Sino-Japanese War. Hitler, in solidarity with his new ally Japan, withdrew German officers at
that time
IZAZOVI USKLAĐIVANJA PRIVATNOG I PROFESIONALNOG ŽIVOTA – ISKUSTVA I STAVOVI ZNANSTVENICA SVEUČILIŠTA U SPLITU
Izlaskom žena na tržište rada mijenja se tradicionalni oblik obitelji, te žene nisu više isključivo kućanice, već pridonose kućanstvu jednako kao i muškarci. Unatoč tome, patrijarhalni pogled na ženu kao onu koja mora obavljati kućne poslove nije nestao. Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi s kojim se poteškoćama susreću znanstvenice sa splitskog sveučilišta pri usklađivanju privatnog i profesionalnog života, odnosno utvrditi točke zadovoljstva/nezadovoljstva, odnosno njihove stavove glede njihovih iskustava. Istraživanje je provedeno kvalitativnom metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua. Ukupno je provedeno 22 polustrukturirana intervjua. Uvidom u rezultate istraživanja kao glavne poteškoće usklađivanja profesionalnog i privatnog života navode se prekovremeno radno vrijeme i opterećenost kućanskim poslovima. Primjećujemo kako se žene u profesionalnom životu od početka moraju više od muškaraca trudit i žrtvovat da bi postigle karijerni uspjeh. Unatoč sve većoj pomoći partnera i mogućnostima za plaćenu pomoć, žene su i dalje te koje veći dio obveza u kućanstvu obavljaju. Partneri sve više preuzimaju brigu o djeci, ali su žene i dalje organizatorice i odgovorne za kućanstvo i članove kućanstva. Olakotna okolnost za znanstvenice koje su sudjelovale u istraživanju je svakako fleksibilnost radnog vremena koje im ostavlja prostora za neke aktivnosti i obveze koje uz fiksno radno vrijeme ne bi uspjele.With the entry of women into the labor market, the traditional form of the family is changing, and these women are no longer exclusively housewives, but contribute to the household just as much as men. Despite this, the patriarchal view of women as the one who has to do housework has not disappeared. The aim of this research is to determine the difficulties that scientists from the University of Split face when harmonizing their private and professional lives, and to determine the points of satisfaction/dissatisfaction, and their attitudes regarding their experiences. The research was conducted using the qualitative method of a semi-structured interview. A total of 22 semi-structured interviews were conducted. Looking at the results of the research, the main difficulties in harmonizing professional and private life are cited as overtime and burdened with housework. We notice that women in professional life have to work harder and sacrifice more than men in order to achieve career success. Despite the increasing help from partners and opportunities for paid help, women are still the ones who perform most
of the household duties. Partners are increasingly taking care of children, but women are still organizers and responsible for the household and household members. A mitigating circumstance for the scientists who participated in the research is certainly the flexibility of their working hours, which leaves them room for some activities and obligations that would not be possible with fixed working hours
