Traumatic stress and job (dis)satisfaction among probation officers in Croatia
No full textCilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati koliko su probacijski službenici u Hrvatskoj zadovoljni svojim
poslom, razmišljaju li i u kojoj mjeri o napuštanju posla te u kojoj su mjeri izloženi traumatskim
stresnim iskustvima vezanim uz svoj posao. Također pokušalo se predvidjeti zadovoljstvo poslom
i namjeru napuštanja posla na temelju ostalih uključenih varijabli. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 75
sudionika iz probacijskih ureda u cijeloj Hrvatskoj, a podaci su prikupljeni online putem. Kako bi
se odgovorilo na postavljene istraživačke probleme korišteni su sljedeći upitnici: Namjera
napuštanja posla (engl. Turnover Intentions; Michaels i Spector, 1982); Upitnik o zadovoljstvu
poslom (engl. Job Satisfaction Survey; Spector, 1985) i skala Profesionalne kvalitete života (engl.
Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire; Stamm, 2010). Probacijski službenici pokazali su
umjerene razine nezadovoljstva poslom, sagorijevanja i zadovoljstva zbog suosjećanja te niske
razine sekundarnog traumatskog stresa i namjere napuštanja posla. Zadovoljstvo poslom statistički
je značajno povezano sa svim domenama profesionalne kvalitete života (zadovoljstvo radi
suosjećanja, sagorijevanje i sekundarni traumatski stres) kao i namjerom napuštanja posla.
Namjera napuštanja posla statistički je značajno povezana sa zadovoljstvom radi suosjećanja,
sagorijevanjem, zadovoljstvom poslom te njenim odrednicama - zadovoljstvo nagradama,
zadovoljstvo kolegama, zadovoljstvo samim poslom te zadovoljstvo komunikacijom. Multiplom
regresijskom analizom ustanovljeno je kako model profesionalne kvalitete života te radnog staža
značajno doprinosi objašnjavanju zadovoljstva poslom. U tom modelu sagorijevanje se pokazalo
kao jedini značajan prediktor. Također, multiplom regresijskom analizom ustanovljeno je kako
model zadovoljstva poslom, profesionalne kvalitete života te radnog staža značajno doprinosi
objašnjavanju namjere napuštanja posla. U tom su se modelu zadovoljstvo poslom i zadovoljstvo
radi suosjećanja pokazali značajnim prediktorima.The aim of this research was to examine how satisfied probation officers in Croatia are with their
job, whether and to what extent they are thinking about leaving their jobs, and to what extent they
are exposed to traumatic stressful experiences related to their job. An attempt was also made to
predict job satisfaction and intention to leave the job based on the other included variables. 75
participants from probation offices throughout Croatia took part in the research, and the data was
collected online. In order to answer the set research problems, the following questionnaires were
used: Turnover Intentions (Michaels and Spector, 1982); Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985)
and Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire (Stamm, 2010). Probation officers showed
moderate levels of job dissatisfaction, burnout and compassion satisfaction, and low levels of
secondary traumatic stress and intention to quit. Job satisfaction is statistically significantly related
to all domains of professional quality of life (compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary
traumatic stress) as well as the intention to quit. The intention to quit is statistically significantly
related to compassion satisfaction, burnout, job satisfaction and its determinants - satisfaction with
rewards, satisfaction with colleagues, satisfaction with the job itself and satisfaction with
communication. By using multiple regression analysis, it was established that the model of
professional quality of life and tenure significantly contributes to explaining job satisfaction. In
this model burnout was the only significant predictor. Also, by using multiple regression analysis
it was established that the model of job satisfaction, professional quality of life and tenure
contributes significantly to explaining the intention to quit. In this model job satisfaction and
compassion satisfaction were significant predictors
Naturalism in Croatian literature: from polemics to reflections on individual works of Croatian authors
No full textCilj ovoga rada je prikazati novi književni pravac naturalizam te njegov utjecaj na književni
opus Eugena Kumičića. Paralelnim odvijanjem dvaju književnih pravaca u Hrvatskoj,
realizma i naturalizma, nastala je višegodišnja polemika koja je uzdrmala hrvatsku književnu
scenu. Kritika se osvrnula na pokušaj Eugena Kumičića da uvede naturalizam kao dominantan
pravac u hrvatskoj književnosti, koji se prema njihovom mišljenju nije slagao s našim
tradicionalnim stilom pisanja po uzoru na Šenou. U naturalizmu je književnost imala funkciju
prikazivanja događaja onakvih kakvi jesu, sa svim ružnoćama i negativnostima, a književnik
je trebao biti objektivan. Kumičić se uvelike vodio Zolinim idejama koje je nastojao provoditi
u svojim djelima, ponajprije u Gospođi Sabini koja obiluje naturalističkim elementima, što je
prikazano u analizi djela. Provedena je i analiza djela Olga i Lina, njegovog prvog
naturalističkog djela. Kumičić je naturalizam uspio prikazati i u povijesnom romanu Urota
zrinsko-frankopanska, što je također vidljivo u analizi. Naturalistički elementi koji se mogu
uočiti su moć, novac, korupcija, manipulacija, zagrebačko elitno građanstvo, razlika bogatih i
siromašnih, detaljan prikaz gradova, prostora, ali i prikaz smrti plemenitaških obitelji do
najsitnijih detalja. Kumičić piše kritiku društvu, ali i podiže svijest građana o važnosti
slobode. Iako su Kumičića smatrali Zolinim nasljednikom, analizirajući njegova djela može se
reći da ona i dalje odišu šenoinskom tradicijom vođenom realizmom uz elemente Zolinog
naturalizma. Ante Kovačić se odmiče od šenoinske koncepcije pisanja i teži kritici društva.
Naturalistički prikazuje odnos selo-grad i pretvorbu seljaka u građane.The aim of this paper is to show the new literary direction naturalism and its influence on the
literary work of Eugen Kumičić. The parallel development of two literary trends in Croatia,
realism and naturalism, gave rise to a multi-year polemic that shook the Croatian literary
scene. Criticism focused on Eugen Kumičić's attempt to introduce naturalism as a dominant
direction in Croatian literature, which, in their opinion, did not agree with our traditional style
of writing based on the example of Šenoa. In naturalism, literature had the function of
presenting events as they are, with all the ugliness and negativity, and the writer was supposed
to be objective. Kumičić was largely guided by Zola's ideas, which he tried to implement in
his works, primarily in Gospođa Sabina, which abounds in naturalistic elements, which is
shown in the analysis of the work. An analysis of the work Olga and Lina, his first naturalistic
work, was also carried out. Kumičić also managed to show naturalism in the historical novel
Urota Zrinsko-Frankopanska, which is also visible in the analysis. The naturalistic elements
that can be seen are power, money, corruption, manipulation, Zagreb's elite citizenry, the
difference between the rich and the poor, a detailed depiction of cities, spaces, but also the
depiction of the death of noble families down to the smallest detail. Kumičić writes a critique
of society, but also raises citizens' awareness of the importance of freedom. Although
Kumičić was considered Zola's successor, analyzing his works it can be said that they still
exude the Šenoin tradition guided by realism along with elements of Zola's naturalism. Ante
Kovačić moves away from the Shenoin conception of writing and tends towards criticism of
society. Naturalistically depicts the village-town relationship and the transformation of
peasants into citizens
Branding of rural tourism on the example of Ravni Kotari
No full textOvaj diplomski rad bavi se brendiranjem ruralnog turizma na području Ravnih Kotara
kao turističke destinacije. Cilj rada je istražiti načine brendiranja pojedinih ruralnih
turizama te njihovu suradnju s turističkom zajednicom, pa samim time i uključenost u
proces brendiranja Ravnih Kotara. U prvom, teorijskom dijelu rada, predstavljen je pojam
turističke destinacije te važnost elemenata atraktivnosti koji služe za privlačenje turista u
destinaciju. Nakon toga, objašnjava se važnost marketinga i marketinških aktivnosti u
turizmu te njihova primjena. Uz to, opisuju se pojmovi marketinga i menadžmenta u
turističkoj destinaciji, njihovi ciljevi i važnost za razvitak i vidljivost same destinacije.
Zatim se razrađuje koncept brendiranja i promocije turističke destinacije te važnost
uključenosti lokalnog stanovništva. Drugi dio rada obuhvaća provedeno istraživanje u
kojem je sudjelovalo 8 nositelja ponude ruralnog turizma u Ravnim Kotarima koji se bave
različitim oblicima ruralnog turizma te predstavnik Turističke zajednice Ravni Kotari
koja je, kao organizacija, nositelj marketinških i promotivnih aktivnosti. U istraživanju je
korištena metoda dubinskog intervjua, a provedeno je u veljači i ožujku 2024.
Istraživanjem je pokazano da turistička zajednica unutar svog plana provodi razne
promotivne aktivnosti, od digitalnih do fizičkih i navodi da u njih uključuje nositelje
ponude. Također, turistička zajednica smatra da je ruralni turizam sastavni dio brenda
Ravnih Kotara i da utječe na samu vidljivost toga područja, a navodi i da ih marketinški
podupire kroz sve dostupne kanale promocije i distribucije te kroz razne edukacije.
Nositelji ponude najviše su upoznati s društvenim mrežama i mrežnom stranicom kao
kanalima promocije, a uz njih posjećuju i sajmove, dok su rijetki bili prisutni u nekom
obliku medija. Istraživanje je pokazalo da većina njih sudjeluje u nekom vidu
promotivnih aktivnosti turističke zajednice, ali bi svi oni htjeli da ih postoji više tijekom
godine, kao i edukacija o promociji i brendiranju u poslovanju. Pokazano je da svi
ispitanici imaju plan svojih daljnjih aktivnosti i da svi žele unaprijediti poslovanje, a
naglasak u komunikaciji svoje ponude stavljaju na autohtonost, ekološku, prirodnu i
domaću proizvodnju. Nositelji ponude vode računa o povratnim informacijama gostiju u
želji da unaprijede svoju ponudu, a od trendova najčešće ističu ekološku proizvodnju.This thesis focuses on rural tourism branding in the area of Ravni Kotari as a tourist
destination. The aim of the work is to explore the ways of branding individual rural
tourism, their cooperation with the tourist board and also their involvement in the
branding process of Ravni Kotari. The first, theoretical part of the work, describes the
concept of a tourist destination and the importance of attractiveness elements that serve
to attract tourists to the destination. After that, the importance of marketing and marketing
activities in tourism and their application by different stakeholders is explained. In
addition, theoretical part also describes the concepts of marketing and management in a
tourist destination, their goals and importance for the development and visibility of the
destination itself. Then the concept of branding and promotion of the tourist destination
and the importance of the involvement of the local population are elaborated. The second
part of the work includes a research conducted with 8 providers of rural tourism in Ravni
Kotari, who deal with different forms of rural tourism, and with representative of the
Ravni Kotari Tourist Board, which, as an organization, is responsible for marketing and
promotional activities. The research used an in-depth interview method and it took place
in February and March 2024. The results showed that the tourist board has promotional
activities plan, which includes activities from digital to physical, and claim that it includes
tourist providers in their plan. Also, according to the tourist board, rural tourism is an
integral part of the Ravni Kotar brand and affects the very visibility of that area, and the
tourist community supports it in terms of marketing through all available channels of
promotion and distribution, and through various educations. The tourist providers are
most familiar with social networks and website as a promotion channels, and they also
visit trade fairs, while few have participated in some form of media. The research revealed
that most participants engage in promotional activities of the tourist board, but desire
more frequent events and education on promotion and branding. It was shown that all
respondents have a plan for their further activities and that they all want to improve their
business, and in the communication of their offers they emphasize autochthonousness,
ecological, natural and domestic production. The tourist providers take into account the
feedback of the guests in order to improve their offer, and among the trends they most
often emphasize ecological production
Does the physical perfection of the model in the advertisement influence the purchase decision?
No full textRastuća izloženost 'savršenim' tijelima u reklamama duboko narušava mentalno zdravlje žena,
poticanjem nesigurnosti i uspoređivanja s drugima, a na kraju može rezultirati i javljanjem
nezadovoljstva vlastitim izgledom. Postavlja se pitanje predstavljaju li takve prakse
promoviranja savršenstva i asociranja vlastitog brenda s tim marketinškim strategijama zaista
najefikasniji način privlačenja potrošača. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je provjeriti odnos
nezadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom, ličnosti brenda, stava prema brendu te namjere za kupnjom
u oglašavanju. U svrhu boljeg razumijevanja navedenog odnosa, provedeno je online
istraživanje na uzorku od 341 studentice preddiplomskog studija u Republici Hrvatskoj.
Studentice su bile slučajno raspoređene u tri skupine gdje je jedna skupina bila izložena oglasu
s prikazom modela 'idealističkih' tipova tijela (n = 108), druga skupina je bila izložena oglasu
s prikazom modela različitih oblika tijeka (n = 107) te treća skupina je bila izložena oglasu s
prikazom samo proizvoda brenda (n = 126). Studentice su ispunjavale upitnike
sociodemografskih podataka, zadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom, stava prema brendu, ličnosti
brenda i namjere kupnje brenda. Rezultati dobiveni u ovom istraživanju ukazuju kako
studentice koje su bile izložene oglasima s modelima različitih oblika tijela i oglasu s prikazom
samo proizvoda opisivale brend zanimljivijim, privlačnijim, uvjerljivijim, informativnijim i
uočljivijim te sve u svemu imale pozitivniji stav prema brendu od studentica koje su bile
izložene oglasu s 'idealističkim' prikazima tijela modela. Uz to, iste skupine su brend opisivale
poželjnijim osobinama ličnosti, poput savjesnosti, ekstraverzije te, u slučaju prve grupe i
ugodnosti, ali imale i veću namjeru kupnje proizvoda tog brenda. Moderacijski utjecaj
zadovoljstva vlastitim tijelom na odnos vrste oglasa s prethodno navedenim varijablama nije
utvrđen, to jest skupine koje su bile izložene oglasima s različitim tijelima modela i oglasima
samo s prikazima proizvoda pozitivnije su procjenjivale stav, ličnosti i namjeru kupnje brenda
bez obzira na zadovoljstvo vlastitim tijelom. Uz dodatno teorijsko razumijevanje ove
problematike, praktičan doprinos ovog istraživanja usmjerava brendove da stavljaju doživljaje
svojih potrošača u fokus i da „mršavost prodaje“ nije legitimno opravdanje za isključivo
promoviranje savršenstva u oglašavanju.The increasing exposure to "perfect" bodies in advertisements deeply undermines women's
mental health by fostering insecurities and comparisons with others, potentially leading to
dissatisfaction with their own appearance. This raises the question of whether such practices of
promoting perfection and associating one's brand with these marketing strategies are indeed the
most effective way to attract consumers. The aim of this research was to examine the
relationship between body dissatisfaction, brand personality, brand attitude, and purchase
intention in advertising. To better understand this relationship, an online survey was conducted
with a sample of 341 undergraduate female students in the Republic of Croatia. The students
were randomly assigned to three groups: one group was exposed to an ad featuring models with
'idealistic' body types (n = 108), the second group to an ad featuring models with various body
shapes (n = 107), and the third group to an ad featuring only the brand's product (n = 126). The
female students filled out questionnaires on sociodemographic data, satisfaction with physical
appearance, attitude towards the brand, brand personality, and brand purchase intention. The
results of this study indicate that students exposed to advertisements featuring models of
different body shapes and advertisements showing only the product described the brand as more
interesting, attractive, convincing, informative, and eye-catching, and overall had a more
positive attitude towards the brand compared to students exposed to advertisements with
'idealistic' depictions of model bodies. Additionally, these same groups described the brand with
more desirable personality traits, such as conscientiousness, extraversion, and in the case of the
first group, agreeableness, but also had a greater intention to purchase the brand's products. The
moderating effect of body satisfaction on the relationship between the type of advertisement
and the previously mentioned variables was not established. In other words, groups exposed to
advertisements featuring different body types of models and advertisements displaying only
products evaluated brand attitude, personality, and purchase intention more positively,
regardless of their satisfaction with their own body. Beyond providing further theoretical
understanding of this issue, the practical contribution of this research directs brands to focus on
their consumers' experiences and asserts that "thinness sells" is not a legitimate justification for
exclusively promoting perfection in advertising
Analysis of the significance of corporate brand characteristics in the ICT industry for FER students
No full textRazvoj informacijsko-tehnološke industrije je postao svakodnevica, a ujedno se stvorila potreba za razvojem brendiranja poslodavca (eng. employer branding) u svim industrijama. Naime, potraga za kvalitetnom radnom snagom postaje imperativ, a studenti su ti koji tek ulaze na tržište rada te mijenjaju standarde. Korporacije su fokusirane na privlačenje mladih talenata te njihovo zadržavanje kako bi formirali jaku radnu snagu. U radu je predstavljeno na koji način interna i eksterna korporativna komunikacija utječu na employer branding. Još važnije, analizirani su identitet, imidž, reputacija, i kultura korporacija koji uvelike utječu na employer branding. Posljedično, navedeno utječe na brend poslodavca i uspješno brendiranje poslodavca koje je višeslojno i ponekad ovisi o industriji u kojoj korporacija djeluje i interesima radne snage određene industrije. U ovom diplomskom radu naglasak je stavljen na studente Fakulteta elektrotehnike i računarstva te njihovoj percepciji čimbenika employer brandinga. Iz tog razloga, napravljena je anketa za studente FER-a na završnim godinama studija. Zaposleni i nezaposleni studenti su ispitani o njihovim preferencijama pri potrazi za poslom, što ih je privuklo pri prijavi za posao ili praksu, njihovo zadovoljstvo zaposlenjem te je ispitano njihovo mišljenje o aspektima employer brandinga. Istraživanjem je zaključeno kako studenti u ICT industriji obraćaju pozornost na brendiranje poslodavca te da su reputacija organizacije i preporuke ljudi iz okoline (word of mouth) faktori koji utječu na odluku o zaposlenju kod većine studenata.The development of the information technology industry has become everyday occurrence, and so the need for the development of employer branding in all industries has arisen. Namely, the search for quality workforce becomes imperative; students become the ones who are just entering the labor market and changing the standards. Corporations are focused on attracting and retaining young talent to form a strong workforce. The paper presents how internal and external corporate communication affects employer branding. More importantly, the identity, image, reputation, and culture of corporations, which greatly influence employer branding, were analyzed. Consequently, the aforementioned affects the employer brand and successful employer branding which is multi-layered and sometimes dependent on the industry of the corporation and the interests of the workforce of a particular industry. In this thesis, emphasis is placed on the students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing and their perception of employer branding. For this reason, a survey was made for FER students in their final years of study. Employed and unemployed students were asked about their preferences when looking for a job, what attracted them when applying for a job or internship, their satisfaction with employment, and their opinion on aspects of employer branding was examined. The research concluded that students in the ICT industry pay attention to employer
branding and that most students base their decisions, most often, on the reputation of the organization and recommendations from people around them - word of mouth
Bioethies of sport and the problem of doping in cycling
No full textOvaj diplomski rad istražuje fenomen dopinga u biciklizmu iz perspektive bioetike sporta, smještajući ga u širi kontekst filozofije i etike sporta. Rad analizira povijesni razvoj dopinga u biciklizmu, od ranih oblika stimulansa do modernih metoda poput EPO-a i krvnog dopinga. Posebna pozornost posvećena je poznatim slučajevima dopinga, s naglaskom na slučaj Lancea Armstronga kao paradigmatski primjer sistemskog dopinga. Rad razmatra etičke implikacije dopinga, uključujući pitanja fair playa, integriteta sporta i zdravlja sportaša. Također se bavi suvremenim naporima u borbi protiv dopinga, uključujući uvođenje biološke putovnice sportaša i pojačane kontrole. Zaključno, rad ističe potrebu za multidisciplinarnim pristupom u rješavanju problema dopinga, naglašavajući važnost kontinuiranog etičkog promišljanja o prirodi i svrsi sporta u kontekstu sve sofisticiranijih metoda poboljšanja performansi.This thesis explores the phenomenon of doping in cycling from the perspective of sports bioethics, placing it within the broader context of the philosophy and ethics of sports. The paper analyzes the historical development of doping in cycling, from early forms of stimulants to sophisticated methods such as EPO and blood doping. Special attention is given to well-known doping cases, with a focus on the case of Lance Armstrong as a paradigmatic example of systematic doping. The thesis examines the ethical implications of doping, including issues of fair play, the integrity of sports, and athletes' health. It also addresses contemporary efforts in the fight against doping, including the introduction of the athlete's biological passport and enhanced controls. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to addressing the problem of doping, highlighting the importance of continuous ethical reflection on the nature and purpose of sports in the context of increasingly sophisticated performance enhancement methods
Knowledge, attiutdes and behaviors of adolescents related to sexual violence
No full textIstraživanjem seksualnog nasilja u ovom radu želimo doprinijeti razumijevanju seksualnog nasilja kao teme od važnosti za društvo i akademski svijet. Cilj diplomskog rada je istražiti znanja, stavove i ponašanje adolescenata vezanih uz seksualno nasilje. Istraživanje je provedeno kombiniranom metodom kvantitativne i kvalitativne metodologije na uzorku od 51 adolescenta. U kvantitativnom dijelu istraživanja koristio se anketni upitnik dok kvalitativnom metodologijom polustrukturirani intervju. Istraživanje se provodilo sa svrhom utvrđivanja znanja adolescenata, stavove koje posjeduje i ponašanja vezana uz seksualno nasilje u svrhu raspoznavanja trenutačne percepcije adolescenata o seksualnom nasilju. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju kako adolescenti većinom odbacuju konvencionalne stereotipove i mitove, dok o seksualnim stereotipovima i mitovima laganja žrtve o seksualnom nasilju nemaju specifično mišljenje. U kategoriji znanja adolescenti sadrže određenu osnovnu razinu znanja o seksualnom nasilju koju je potrebno proširiti edukacijama. Ponašanje adolescenata vezano uz seksualno nasilje nam pokazuje kako adolescenti smatraju seksualno nasilje ozbiljnim oblikom nasilja, ali ipak nedostaje razina prepoznavanja seksualnog nasilja kako bi adolescenti reagirali na viđeno seksualno nasilje prijavljivanjem. Adolescenti su negativno odgovorili na sustavno reagiranje na seksualno nasilje u školama što ukazuje kako je u školama potrebno intervenirati radionicama i edukacijama o seksualnom nasilju te stvoriti nultu toleranciju na seksualno nasilje uz mogućnost otvorene diskusije za razgovor o seksualnom nasilju sa stručnim kadrom.By researching sexual violence in this paper, we want to contribute to the understanding of sexual violence as a topic of importance for society and the academic world. The aim of the graduation thesis is to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of adolescents related to sexual violence. The research was conducted using a combined method of quantitative and qualitative methodology on a sample of 51 adolescents. A questionnaire was used in the quantitative part of the research, while a semi-structured interview was used in the qualitative methodology. The research was conducted with the purpose of determining the knowledge of adolescents, their attitudes and behaviors related to sexual violence in order to identify the current perception of adolescents about sexual violence. The findings indicate that adolescents tend to reject conventional stereotypes and myths but they do not exhibit specific opinion regarding sexual stereotypes and myths regarding victims lying about sexual violence. In the category of knowledge, they contain a certain basic level of knowledge about sexual violence that needs to be expanded through education. The behavior of adolescents related to sexual violence shows us that adolescents consider sexual violence to be a serious form of violence, but the level of recognition of sexual violence is still lacking in order for adolescents to react to seen sexual violence. Adolescents responded negatively to the systematic response to sexual violence in schools, which indicates that it is necessary to intervene in schools with workshops and lectures on sexual violence, to create zero tolerance for sexual violence with the possibility of open discussion for discussing sexual violence with professional staff
Psychometric Validation of the Croatian Translation of the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire
No full textCilj ovog rada bio je prijevod i psihometrijska validacija Melbourne DMQ - upitnika donošenja odluka. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 177 studenata različitih studijskih smjerova i godina na Fakultetu hrvatskih studija Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, među kojima je bilo 82,5% ženskih i 17,5% muških sudionika. Prosječna dob sudionika bila je 21,92 godine (SD = 3,53). Istraživanje je provedeno grupno, na kraju različitih predavanja, na način da je sudionicima na projektoru prikazan QR kod čijim skeniranjem su otvorili Google Obrazac. Korišteni su Melbourne DMQ upitnik, IPIP-20S, Rosenbergova skala samopoštovanja i čestica za mjerenje zadovoljstva životom. Rezultati su pokazali dobre pouzdanosti za supskale pozornosti (α = 0,795), nesigurnosti (α = 0,738) i samopouzdanja pri donošenju odluka (α = 0,795) te visoke pouzdanosti za supskale prenošenja odgovornosti (α = 0,872) i odugovlačenja (α = 0,856). Faktorskom analizom potvrđeno je postojanje četiri faktora. Neadekvatni stilovi donošenja odluka bili su umjereno povezani, dok pozornost nije bila povezana s drugim stilovima. Samopouzdanje pri donošenju odluka umjereno je negativno povezano s prenošenjem odgovornosti, odugovlačenjem i nesigurnosti, a slabo pozitivno s pozornošću. Dobivene su umjerene negativne povezanosti samopoštovanja i neadekvatnih obrazaca, također umjerena pozitivna korelacija dobivena je između samopouzdanja pri donošenju odluka i samopoštovanja mjerenim Rosenbergovom skalom samopoštovanja. Zadovoljstvo životom neznatno je negativno povezano s prenošenjem odgovornosti, a nisko negativno povezano s odugovlačenjem i nesigurnosti. Pronađena je slaba pozitivna povezanost savjesnosti i pozornosti te umjerena negativna povezanost savjesnosti i odugovlačenja. Dodatno, dobivene su neznatne do slabe pozitivne povezanosti pozornosti s emocionalnom stabilnosti i intelektom te slabe do umjerene negativne povezanosti neadaptivnih stilova s ekstraverzijom, emocionalnom stabilnosti i intelektom. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata može se zaključiti da prijevod Melbourne DMQ - upitnika donošenja odluka ima zadovoljavajuće i prihvatljive metrijske karakteristike.The goal of this study was the translation and psychometric validation of the Melbourne DMQ Decision Making Questionnaire. 177 students, from various fields of study and years at the Faculty of Croatian Studies of the University of Zagreb, partook in the study, with 82.5% female and 17.5% male participants. The average age of the participants was 21.92 (SD = 3.53). The study was conducted in groups at the end of different lectures, where participants were shown a QR code on a projector screen, scanning of which would open a Google Form. The Melbourne DMQ Questionnaire, IPIP 20, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and a life satisfaction item were used in the study. The results showed good reliabilities for the subscales of vigilance (α = 0.795), hypervigilance (α = 0.738), and decision-making self-esteem (α = 0.795), as well as high reliabilities for the subscales of buck-passing (α = 0.872) and procrastination (α = 0.856). Factor analysis confirmed the existence of four factors. Inadequate decision-making styles were moderately interrelated, while vigilance was not associated with other styles. Decision-making self-esteem was moderately negatively correlated with buck-passing, procrastination and hypervigilance, and weakly positively correlated with vigilance. Moderate negative correlations were found between self-esteem and maladaptive patterns, and a moderate positive correlation was found between decision-making self-esteem and self-esteem as measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Life satisfaction was slightly negatively correlated with buck-passing and
weakly negatively correlated with procrastination and hypervigilance. Conscientiousness showed a weak positive correlation with vigilance and a moderate negative correlation with procrastination. Additionally, weak to moderate positive correlations were found between vigilance and emotional stability and intellect, and weak to moderate negative correlations were found between maladaptive styles and extraversion, emotional stability, and intellect.

The rise of streaming services: examples of Netflix and HBO Max in the Republic of Croatia
No full textOvaj diplomski rad istražuje sadržajne trendove usluga za streaming u Republici Hrvatskoj. Streaming servisi trenutno su jedni od najpopularnijih medija u Hrvatskoj, kao i u svijetu. Fokus u radu bit će na videoservisima, konkretno platformama Netflix i HBO Max. Ovo istraživanje pridonosi razumijevanju navika konzumacije sadržaja u Hrvatskoj i nudi uvide za streaming platforme i njihovu ponudu na lokalnom tržištu. Prijelaz s tradicionalne televizije na streaming usluge, potaknut navodnici „Netflix efektom“, preoblikovao je navike potrošnje medija, pri čemu su novije generacije dale prednost modelima pretplate u odnosu na tradicionalnu televiziju ili izravnu kupnju sadržaja. U ovom se radu, unutar paradigme koja proučava digitalnu televiziju i konvergenciju kulture te polazeći od četiriju hipoteza vezanih uz tržišnu prilagodbu sadržaja streaming servisa, istražuje kako su Netflix i HBO Max prilagodili svoju ponudu hrvatskim gledateljima, uzimajući u obzir najgledanije sadržaje u tromjesečnom razdoblju, 1. siječnja 2024. do 31. ožujka 2024., analizirajući među ostalim podrijetlo sadržaja, zastupljene žanrove, jezik te postojanje podnaslova na hrvatskom jeziku. Rezultati istraživanja i njihova interpretacija pridonose razumijevanju navika konzumacije medijskih sadržaja u Hrvatskoj i nude uvid u djelovanje komercijalnih streaming servisa, upućujući na to da su oni, nudeći nove produkcijske i distribucijske strukture te prakse, za vrijeme pandemije i nakon nje pridonijeli transformaciji medijske industrije zabave.This master's thesis examines the content trends of streaming services in the Republic of Croatia. Streaming services are currently one of the most widespread media in Croatia, as well as in the world. The focus of the work will be on video services, specifically the Netflix and HBO Max platforms. This research contributes to the understanding of content consumption habits in Croatia and offers insights for streaming platforms and their offer on the local market. The shift from traditional television to streaming services, fueled by the "Netflix effect," has reshaped media consumption habits, with newer generations favoring subscription models over traditional television or direct purchase of content. This paper, within the framework of studying digital television and cultural convergence, investigates how Netflix and HBO Max have adapted their offerings to Croatian viewers. The study is based on four hypotheses related to the market adaptation of streaming service content and it examines the most-watched content from January 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024., analyzing, among other things, the origin of the content, the genres represented, the language and the availability of Croatian subtitles. The research results and interpretations contribute to the understanding of media content consumption habits in Croatia and provide insights into the operation of commercial streaming services. Additionally, the study highlights how these services, through new production and distribution structures, have transformed the entertainment media industry, especially during and after the pandemic
Eleusinian Mysteries in Ancient Greece
No full textGrčka religija bila je složen i sastavni dio starogrčkog društva, imajući veliki utjecaj na njegovu kulturu, politiku i svakodnevni život. Bila je politeistička, usredotočena na štovanje panteona bogova i božica, od kojih je svaki bio povezan s određenim elementima života i prirodnog svijeta. Vjerovalo se da bogovi i božice mogu promijeniti tijek događaja u čovjekovom životu; zato su se, kako bi se dobila naklonost bogova, održavali razni obredi u njihovu čast. Oni su uključivali molitve, žrtve, darove, plesove, igre. Uz javnu religiju postojale su i tajnovite religijske tradicije poput Eleuzinskih misterija koje se pojavljuju oko trećeg tisućljeća prije Krista. One su se temeljile na mitu o Demetri i Perzefoni, a njihovim članovima su obećana duboka eshatološka obećanja. Misterije su privlačile mnoge iz različitih društvenih slojeva u grčkom i rimskom društvu. Oni koji su htjeli postati članom morali su proći kroz intezivnu inicijaciju koja se dijelila na dva dijela, mýēsis i epopteía. Ako bi prošli cijeli proces inicijacije, novim članovima je bio obećan povoljniji zagrobni život, što je bilo u suprotnosti s tradicionalnim grčkim vjerovanjem da je zagrobni život mračno postojanje u podzemlju.Greek religion was a complex and integral part of ancient Greek society, having a great influence on its culture, politics and daily life. It was polytheistic, centered on the worship of a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each associated with certain elements of life and the natural world. It was believed that gods and goddesses could change the course of events in a person's life, therefore, in order to gain the favor of the gods, various rituals were held in their honor. They included prayers, sacrifices, gifts, dances, games. Along with public religion, there were also secret religious traditions such as the Eleusinian Mysteries, which appeared around the third millennium BC. They were based on the myth of Demeter and Persephone, and their members were promised profound eschatological promises. Mysteries attracted many throughout different periods and social strata in Greek and Roman society. Those who wanted to become members had to go through an intensive initiation that was divided into two parts, mýēsis and epopteía. If they went through the entire initiation process, new members were promised a more favorable afterlife, which contradicted the traditional Greek belief that the afterlife was a dark existence in the underworld
