HYPOTHESIS ABOUT KOSINJ PRINTING HOUSE – INFORMATION-HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
No full textPočeci tiskarstva nakon Gutenbergovog izuma te tiskanje prvih knjiga tzv. inkunabula
predstavljaju ogroman kulturološki, tehnološki pa i informacijski napredak u životu i razvoju
onih naroda koji su imali tu sreću tiskati inkunabule. Brzina prijenosa informacija rapidno je
povećana izumom tiskanja, jer su se knjige počele tiskati u nakladama i po nekoliko stotina
primjeraka, što je izradom rukopisnih knjiga prije toga bilo nezamislivo. Kako je pitanje
lokaliteta prve tiskare u Hrvata, a posljedično i lokaliteta tiskanja našeg prvotiska, još uvijek
otvoreno, glavni smjer ovog doktorata bit će sustavna i sveobuhvatna informacijsko-povijesna
analiza svih aktualnih teza o lokaciji naše prve tiskare. Potom će se arhivskim istraživanjem,
primjenom informacijskih metoda te kartografskom i povijesnom analizom ponuditi neke
nove spoznaje oko Kosinja kao mogućeg lokaliteta naše prve tiskare. Cilj je u konačnici dobiti
prvi rad na hrvatskom jeziku koji će obraditi cjelovitu problematiku početaka tiskanja naših
inkunabula, kao i mogućih lokaliteta naše prve tiskare. Rad će kroz nove spoznaje učvrstiti
Kosinj na karti prvih svjetskih tiskara objavljenoj 1962. godine u Gutenbergovom muzeju u
Mainzu. Hrvatski narod, koji je otisnuo prvi nelatinični misal u Europi1
te jedini tiskao
inkunabule na tri jezika i dva pisma, zaslužuje po prvi puta dobiti objektivnu i cjelovitu
historiografsku obradu ove kulturološki izuzetno značajne teme.The beginnings of printing after Gutenberg's invention and the printing of the first books
of the so called incunabula represent a huge cultural, technological and even informational
progress in the life and development of those nations wko were lucky enough to print
incunabula. The speed of information transfer was rapidly increased by the invention of
printing, because books began to be printed in circulations of several hundred copies, which
was unthinkable with the production of manuscript books before that. As the question of the
location of the first printing house in Croatia, and consequently the location of printing our
first book, is still open, the main direction of this doctorate will be a systematic and
comprehensive information-historical analysis of all current theses on the location of our first
printing house. Then, through archival research, the application of information methods and
cartographic and historical analysis, some new insights will be offered around Kosinj as a
possible locality of our first printing house. The goal is ultimately to get the first paper in the
Croatian language, which will address the entire issue of the beginnings of printing our
incunabula, as well as the possible locations of our first printing house. Through new findings,
the work will possibly strengthen Kosinj on the map of the world's first printing houses,
published in 1962 at the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz. The Croatian people, who printed the
first non-Latin missal in the Europe and the only one to print incunabula in three languages
and two scripts, deserve for the first time to receive an objective and complete
historiographical treatment of this culturally extremely important topic
The beginning of multi-party system in Dubrovnik-Neretva County
No full textU radu se analizira početak višestranačkih procesa na području Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije (DNŽ) u razdoblju od konca 1989. godine zaključno s osnivanjem posljednje stranke prije početka Domovinskog rata. Obrađena je politička situacija u pet tadašnjih općina, odnosno općinama Kardeljevo, Metković, Lastovo, Korčula i Dubrovnik. Na temelju društveno –ekonomskog stanja u pojedinoj općini, obrađen je nastanak inicijativnih krugova osnivača stranaka, zatim osnivačke skupštine, početno djelovanje i širenje stranačkih mreža. To je razdoblje jačanja krize unutar Saveza komunista hrvatske (SKH) i uspona, prvenstveno, Hrvatske demokratske zajednice (HDZ). Na to se nadovezuje analiza prvih višestranačkih izbora u Republici Hrvatskoj iz travnja 1990. godine u okviru DNŽ. Posebnost područja obuhvaćenog ovim radom je u različitosti izbornog rezultata koja ukazuje na bitke razlike u prošlosti te u prihvaćanju demokratskih tokova u pojedinim općinama. Naposljetku, prikazano je formiranje Skupština Općina (SO) s obzirom na izborni rezultat, formiranje novih postizbornih stranaka te daljnji razvoj već formiranih. Iako su u većini općina komunisti uspjeli očuvati većinu u SO, krajnji dio rada bavi se pitanjem pojačanog društvenog udaljavanja od ideologije i simbola komunizma u skladu s jačanjem hrvatskog nacionalnog naboja. Također, u izraženijem fokusu rada je i djelovanja stranaka s predznacima drugih naroda. Posebno se to odnosi na formiranje stranaka s izraženim Srpskim članstvom, koje su bile povezane uz predratno antihrvatsko djelovanje.This thesis analyzes the beginnings of the multi-party process in Dubrovnik-Neretva County (DNŽ) in the period from the end of 1989 until the last new party formation before the outbreak of the Croatian War of Independence. It examines the political situation in five municipalities at that time, namely the municipalities of Kardeljevo, Metković, Lastovo, Korčula and Dubrovnik. Based on the socio-economic situation in the individual municipalities, the paper addresses the emergence of initiative circles of the party founders, followed by founding meetings, initial activites and the expansion of the party networks. This is the period of an unfolding crisis within the League of Croatian Communists (SKH) and the rise of mainly the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). In that regard, the first multi-party elections in the Republic of Croatia in April 1990 within the DNŽ are analyzed. The specific nature of the region covered by this thesis is the diversity of election results which points to the past disputes over differences and the acceptance of democratic trends in certain municipalities. Finally, the thesis provides an overview of the formation of the Municipal Councils based on the election results, the formation of new parties after the elections and the further development of already established parties. Although the Communists could retain a majority in the Municipal Council in most municipalities, the final part of this thesis deals with the issue of increased social distance from the ideology and symbols of communism in accordance with the strengthening of the Croatian national semblance. There is also a more pronounced focus on the work and activities of parties representing minorities. This especially applies to the formation of parties with pronounced Serbian membership, which were associated with pre-war anti-Croatian activities
The connection between the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the daily lives of mothers of primary school children
No full textGlavni cilj istraživanja bio je istražiti povezanost posljedica pandemije COVID-19 i svakodnevnog života majki osnovnoškolske djece. Predviđala se samoprocjena pogoršanja svakodnevnog života majki uslijed pandemije COVID-19 na temelju socio-demografskih podataka, zabrinutosti pandemijom COVID-19, zadovoljstva brakom/vezom i percipiranom socijalnom podrškom obitelji, prijatelja i drugih. Dodatno, ispitivali su se životni događaji majki osnovnoškolske djece povezani sa pandemijom COVID-19. Podaci su se prikupljali u sklopu projekta Hrvatske zaklade za znanost Dobrobit djeteta u kontekstu obitelji (CHILD-WELL). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 1206 majki osnovnoškolske djece iz Varaždinske i Osječko-baranjske županije. Prosječna dob sudionica je 41,14 godine (sd=4.77), a raspon dobi je od 28 do 56 godina. Kako bi se ostvarili navedeni ciljevi, korišteni su sljedeći instrumenti: Upitnik životnih događaja tijekom protekle godine, Samoprocjena pogoršanja života uslijed pandemije COVID-19, Skala zabrinutost u vezi pandemije COVID-19, Skala zadovoljstva brakom/vezom, Multidimenzionalna skala percipirane socijalne podrške (MSPSS). Rezultati su pokazali kako je visok postotak majki bilo u samoizolaciji zbog pandemije COVID-19, preboljelo virus, izvijestilo o smanjenju financijskih prihoda te doživjelo smrt bliske osobe. Također, hijerarhijskom regresijskom analizom utvrđeno je da socio-demografski podaci, zabrinutost pandemijom COVID-19, zadovoljstvo brakom/vezom i percipirana socijalna podrška značajno predviđaju samoprocjenu pogoršanja svakodnevnog života uslijed pandemije COVID-19. Kao značajni prediktori u predviđanju samoprocjene pogoršanja života uslijed pandemije pokazali su se razina obrazovanja majki, zadovoljstvo brakom/vezom i zabrinutost pandemijom, na način da manje obrazovane, manje zadovoljnije brakom/vezom i više zabrinute pandemijom, procjenjuju veće pogoršanje života.The main goal of the research was to explore the connection between the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the daily life of mothers of elementary school children. Self-assessment of deterioration in mothers' daily life due to the COVID-19 pandemic was predicted based on socio-demographic data, concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, marital/relationship satisfaction, and perceived social support from family, friends, and significant others. Additionally, the life events of mothers of elementary school children related to the COVID-19 pandemic were examined. The data were collected as part of the project of Croatian Science Foundation Child welfare in the context of the family (CHILD-WELL). A total of 1,206 mothers of elementary school children from Varaždin and Osijek-Baranja counties participated in the research. The average age of the participants is 41.14 years (sd=4,770), and the age range is from 28 to 56 years. In order to achieve the stated objectives, the following questionnaires were used: Questionnaire of life events during the past year, Self-assessment of deterioration of life due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Scale of concern about the COVID-19 pandemic, Scale satisfaction with marriage/relationship, Multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS). The results showed that a high percentage of mothers were in self-isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, got over the virus, reported a decrease in financial income and experienced the death of a loved one. Also, hierarchical regression analysis found that socio-demographic data, concern about the COVID-19 pandemic, satisfaction with marriage/relationship, and perceived social support significantly predict the self-assessment of deterioration of daily life due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mothers' level of education, satisfaction with marriage/relationship, and worry about the pandemic proved to be significant predictors in predicting the deterioration of life due to the pandemic, in such a way that the less educated, less satisfied with marriage/relationship and more worried about the pandemic, estimate a greater deterioration of life
Croatia in Yugoslavia from 1986 to 1991
No full textSmrt Josipa Broza Tita u svibnju 1980. označila je početak raspada Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije (dalje: SFRJ). Kao glavni politički vođe SFRJ u narednim godinama bili su Slobodan Milošević i dr. Franjo Tuđman. Uspon Slobodana Miloševića uveliko je ubrzao raspad SFRJ i doveo do sukoba između Srbije i Republike Hrvatske (dalje: RH). Memorandumom Srpske akademije nauka i umetnosti (dalje: SANU) Srbija je javno priznala političke težnje, a pobune Srba u Hrvatskoj dodatno su zaoštrile odnose dvije strane. Pobjednom HDZ-a na prvim višestranačkim izborima 1990. nastupa nova etapa hrvatske povijesti te započinje proces osamostaljenja RH koji nije bio niti malo jednostavan
Relationship between sexting, sexual risk behavior and some determinants of mental health
No full textCilj istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos sekstinga, rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja te nekih odrednica mentalnog zdravlja studenata Republike Hrvatske. Analiza je provedena na 338 sudionika. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 212 (62,7%) žena i 126 (37,3%) muškaraca. Prosječna dob iznosila je 21 godinu i 10 mjeseci. S obzirom na status veze, 170 (50,3%) sudionika bilo je slobodno, dok ih je 151 (44,7%) bilo u vezi. Instrumenti koji su korišteni u istraživanju su: hrvatski prijevod Upitnika seksualnih ponašanja i motiva (Sexting Behaviours and Motives Questionnaire, Del Rey i sur., 2021), koji su prevele Dodaj i sur. (2022); Upitnik sigurnog seksualnog ponašanja (Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire, DiIorio i sur., 1993), koji je prevela autorica ovog istraživanja te Skala depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (DASS-21; Lovibond i Lovibond, 1995; prijevod: Bakić, 1995). Istraživanje je pokazalo postojanje značajnih spolnih razlika s obzirom na upuštanje u rizična seksualna ponašanja. Pritom su se studenti češće upuštali u rizična seksualna ponašanja. Također, utvrđene su značajne spolne razlike u depresivnosti i stresu, pri čemu su studentice iskazivale više depresivnih i stresnih simptoma. Nasuprot tome, nisu utvrđene značajne razlike u pogledu upuštanja u rizična seksualna ponašanja te sklonosti različitim oblicima sekstinga, s obzirom na status veze. Nadalje, nisu dobivene značajne korelacije između sekstinga i rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja te rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja i odrednica mentalnog zdravlja. No, utvrđena je značajna pozitivna korelacija sekstinga s depresivnošću, no samo na uzorku studenata/ica u vezi. Ovim radom, dan je doprinos istraživanju sekstinga i njegova odnosa s rizičnim seksualnim ponašanjem i odrednicama mentalnog zdravlja, na uzorku studenata/ica Republike Hrvatske.The aim of the research was to examine the relationship between sexting, risky sexual behavior and some determinants of mental health among students in the Republic of Croatia. The analysis was performed on 338 participants. 212 (62,7%) women and 126 (37,3%) men participated in the research. The average age was 21 years and 10 months. Regarding relationship status, 170 (50,3%) participants were single, while 151 (44,7%) were in a relationship. The instruments used in the research are: the Croatian translation of the Sexting Behaviors and Motives Questionnaire (Del Rey et al., 2021; translated by Dodaj et al., 2022); Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire (DiIorio et al., 1993), which was translated by the author of this research, and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21; Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995; translation: Bakić, 1995). The research showed the existence of significant gender differences with regard to engaging in risky sexual behaviors. Male students engaged in risky sexual behaviors more often female students. Also, significant gender differences in depression and stress were found, with female students showing more depressive and stressful symptoms. In contrast, no significant differences were found regarding engaging in risky sexual behaviors and preferences for different forms of sexting, with regard to relationship status. Furthermore, no significant correlations were obtained between sexting and risky sexual behavior and risky sexual behavior and determinants of mental health. In contrast, significant positive correlations were found between sexting and depression but only in a sample of student sin relationship. This work contributes to the research of sexting and its relationship with risky sexual behavior and determinants of mental health, based on a sample of students from the Republic of Croatia
Perception of the quality of life in Zagreb and the intention to stay in Zagreb of the students of the University of Zagreb from other parts of Croatia
No full textGeneralni cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati percepciju kvalitete života i namjeru ostanka u Zagrebu
kod studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu koji su u Zagreb došli studirati iz drugih dijelova Hrvatske.
U središtu ovoga rada je istraživanje kojime se pokušalo utvrditi je li percepcija kvalitete života
različita u Zagrebu i u mjestu prebivališta te postoje li razlike u percepciji između onih koji
imaju namjeru ostanka i onih koji nemaju. U tu svrhu provedeno je kvantitativno istraživanje
metodom ankete na ciljanoj populaciji od 150 studenata zagrebačkog sveučilišta koji su došli
iz drugih dijelova Hrvatske živjeti u Zagrebu za vrijeme studija. Pokušaj pronalaska razlika u
razini zadovoljstva ispitanika ukupnom kvalitetom života u Zagrebu i u mjestu prebivališta u
gotovo svim područjima pokazao je određenu razinu statističke značajnosti. Rezultati su
pokazali da je zadovoljstvo općenitim aspektima kvalitete života studenata koji su došli
studirati iz drugih mjesta u Hrvatskoj veće u Zagrebu nego u stalnom mjestu prebivališta. S
druge strane, mali broj ispitanika svoju kvalitetu života s obzirom na stanovanje ocjenjuje
boljom u mjestu prebivališta nego u Zagrebu. Što se tiče namjere ostanka u Zagrebu, malo više
od polovice studenata izrazilo je kako imaju namjeru ostanka u Zagrebu i nakon studija, dok
malo manje od pola ispitanika tu namjeru nema. Pronađena je i razlika u percepciji kvalitete
života između onih koji su izrazili namjeru ostanka u Zagrebu nakon studija i onih koji nisu.
Studenti koji žele ostati u Zagrebu kvalitetu života u Zagrebu ocjenjuju višom od onih koji
nemaju namjeru ostanka, a kod studenata koji ne namjeravaju ostati u Zagrebu zadovoljstvo
kvalitetom života u mjestu prebivališta veće je nego kod onih koji imaju tu namjeru.The main goal of this thesis was to examine the perception of quality of life and intentions of
staying in Zagreb after college in students of the University of Zagreb who came to Zagreb
from other parts of Croatia. In the center of this thesis is a research which aimed to determine
the existence of differences between the perception of quality of life in Zagreb and in the place
of residence, as well as differences in perception between those who intend to stay and those
who don't. For that purpose, a quantitative research with a survey method was conducted on the
population of 150 students who came from other parts of Croatia to live in Zagreb while
studying. An attempt to find differences in levels of respondents' satisfaction with the overall
quality of life in Zagreb and in the place of residence showed a certain level of statistical
significance in almost all areas. The results showed that the satisfaction with general aspects of
the quality of life of students who came to study from other places in Croatia is higher in Zagreb
than in their permanent place of residence. On the other hand, a small number of respondents
rate their quality of life in terms of housing as better in their place of residence than in Zagreb.
As for the intention to stay in Zagreb, a little more than half of the students expressed that they
intend to stay in Zagreb after their studies, while a little less than half of the respondents do not
have that intention. A difference was also found in the perception of the quality of life between
those who expressed the intention of staying in Zagreb after college and those who did not.
Students who want to stay in Zagreb rate the quality of life in Zagreb higher than those who do
not intend to stay. Among students who do not intend to stay in Zagreb, satisfaction with the
quality of life in their place of residence is higher than among those who intent to stay
Relationship between substance use, attachment styles in romantic relationships and self-esteem
No full textCilj provedenog istraživanja bio je prikupiti podatke o konzumaciji različitih sredstava
ovisnosti na uzorku studenata te ispitati odnos konzumacije sredstava ovisnosti, stilova privrženosti
u romantičnim odnosima i samopoštovanja kod osoba mlađe odrasle dobi. Istraživanje je
provedeno online putem na prigodnom uzorku od 413 studenata (79,7% ženskih) s područja
Republike Hrvatske. U istraživanju su korišteni Anketni upitnik o uporabi sredstava ovisnosti kod
studenata, Skala samosviđanja i samokompetentnosti (Tafarodi i Swann, 2001) te Upitnik
privrženosti prema ljubavnim partnerima (Kamenov i Jelić, 2003). Provedbom MANOVA-e
utvrđeno je da su muškarci statistički značajno češće konzumirali sva ispitivana sredstva ovisnosti,
bili skloniji opijanju od žena te postizali statistički značajno više rezultate na skali samosviđanja.
Životna prevalencija konzumacije ilegalnih droga je statistički značajno pozitivno korelirala s
učestalosti opijanja i kod muškaraca i kod žena, a negativno s dimenzijom samosviđanja kod
muškaraca. Provedbom binarne logističke regresijske analize utvrđeno je da je set prediktora, koji
uključuje dob prve konzumacije alkohola, učestalost opijanja, izbjegavanje, anksioznost,
samosviđanje i samokompetenciju, statistički značajno predviđao varijancu životne prevalencije
konzumacije ilegalnih droga i kod žena i kod muškaraca. Pritom se najboljim prediktorom životne
prevalencije konzumacije ilegalnih droga i kod žena i kod muškaraca pokazala učestalost opijanja,
a kod muškaraca značajan prediktor bilo je i samosviđanje.The aim of the conducted research was to collect data of substance use on a sample of
students and to examine the relationship between substance use, attachment styles in romantic
relationships and self-esteem in younger adults. The research was conducted online on a random
sample of 413 students (79,7% females) from Croatia. The instruments used were the Survey
Questionnaire of substance use among Students, the Self-liking/self-competence Scale (Tafarodi
and Swann, 2001) and Attachment in close relationships Inventory (Kamenov and Jelić, 2003).
Through the implementation of MANOVA, it was determined men consumed all investigated
addictive substances significantly more often, were more prone to binge drinking than women and
achieved significantly higher results on the self-liking scale. The lifetime prevalence of illegal drug
consumption was significantly positively correlated with the frequency of binge drinking in both
men and women, and significantly negatively correlated with the dimension of self-liking in men.
Binary logistic regression analysis determined that a set of predictors, which includes the age of
first alcohol consumption, frequency of binge drinking, avoidance, anxiety, self-liking and selfcompetence
significantly predicted the variance of lifetime prevalence of illegal drug consumption
in participants of both sexes. The best predictor of lifetime prevalence of illegal drug use in both
women and men was the frequency of binge drinking. Among men, self-liking was also a
significant predictor
The contribution of the Croatian Fraternal Union in the integration of Croatian emigrants into the United States
No full textHrvatski imigranti imaju dugu i složenu povijest u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Više od jednog stoljeća ovi hrabri pojedinci napuštaju domovinu u potrazi za boljim životom za sebe i svoje obitelji. No, put do nove zemlje nikad nije lak, a hrvatski su se imigranti često suočavali s velikim izazovima dok su se pokušavali prilagoditi životu u Americi. Tu na scenu stupa Hrvatska bratska zajednica. Od svog osnutka Hrvatska bratska zajednica je svjetionik nade i potpora hrvatskim iseljenicima u Americi. Od financijske pomoći do kulturnih programa, organizacija je odigrala ključnu ulogu u pomaganju hrvatskim imigrantima da se etabliraju u svojoj novoj domovini. Tijekom godina, Hrvatska bratska zajednica je svojim članovima pružala širok raspon usluga, uključujući police životnog osiguranja, pogrebne naknade, štedne račune i zajmove za kuće i tvrtke. Organizacija je također sponzorirala obrazovne programe za hrvatsko-američku djecu, kulturna događanja te poduprla izdavanje novina na hrvatskom jeziku. No Hrvatska bratska zajednica je više od same financijske i kulturne organizacije. Također je bila snaga za socijalnu pravdu i građanska prava, zalažući se za priznanje Hrvatske kao neovisne nacije i podržavajući Hrvatski rat za neovisnost. Ona i danas nastavlja pružati osjećaj zajedništva i podršku hrvatskim migrantima u Americi. Njegovi programi i usluge pomogli su nebrojenim pojedincima i obiteljima da se etabliraju u svojoj novoj domovini i napreduju.
U ovom radu istražit će se povijest i utjecaj Hrvatske bratske zajednice na živote hrvatskih migranata u Americi. Proučiti će se doprinosi organizacije hrvatsko-američkoj zajednici i analizirati načine na koje je pomogla poboljšanju života hrvatskih useljenika u Sjedinjenim Državama. Hrvatska bratska zajednica u Americi ima bogatu i složenu povijest koja se proteže preko jednog stoljeća. Od svojih ranih početaka u kasnim 1800-ima do sadašnjeg stanja danas, Hrvatska bratska zajednica imala je važnu ulogu u životima mnogih hrvatskih useljenika i njihovih potomaka. U ovom radu istražit će se povijest Hrvatske bratske zajednice u Americi, ispitujući njezino osnivanje, rast i evoluciju tijekom vremena.Croatian immigrants have a long and storied history in the United States. For more than a century, these brave individuals have been leaving their homeland in search of a better life for themselves and their families. However, the journey to a new country is never easy, and Croatian immigrants often faced great challenges while trying to adapt to life in America. This is where the Croatian brotherhood comes into play. Since its foundation, the Croatian Fraternal Community has been a beacon of hope and support for Croatian emigrants in America. From financial aid to cultural programs, the organization has played a key role in helping Croatian immigrants establish themselves in their new homeland. Over the years, the Croatian Fraternal Society has provided its members with a wide range of services, including life insurance policies, funeral benefits, savings accounts, and home and business loans. The organization also sponsored educational programs for Croatian-American children, cultural events and supported the publishing of newspapers in the Croatian language. But the Croatian fraternal community is more than just a financial and cultural organization. She was also a force for social justice and civil rights, advocating for the recognition of Croatia as an independent nation and supporting the Croatian War of Independence. Even today, it continues to provide a sense of community and support to Croatian migrants in America. Its programs and services have helped countless individuals and families establish themselves in their new homeland and thrive.
In this paper, we will explore the history and influence of the Croatian Fraternal Union on the lives of Croatian migrants in America. We will examine the organization's contributions to the Croatian-American community and analyze the ways in which it helped improve the lives of Croatian immigrants in the United States. The Croatian Brotherhood Community in America has a rich and complex history that spans over a century. From its early beginnings in the late 1800s to its current state today, the Croatian Brotherhood Community has played an integral role in the lives of many Croatian immigrants and their descendants. In this essay, we will explore the history of the Croatian Brotherhood Community in America, examining its founding, growth, and evolution over time

mogućnost davanja uvida u dinamiku pronalaska posla i rada kroz duži vremensko period, te
ukazati na promjene koje su stupile na snagu u međuvremenu. Također, iskustva doseljenika su
pokazala da je Republika Hrvatska postala mnogo otvorenija prema stranim radnicima i
međunarodnom tržištu rada u usporedbi s vremenom prije koronavirusa, te prije i na početku
stupanja u Europsku Uniju. S obzirom da je riječ o doseljenicima islamske vjeroispovijesti koje
posjeduju sasvim drugačiju kulturu, zakone, jezik, obrazovanje i religiju, analizirala su se i
zasebnost iskustva žena migrantica, stupanj religioznosti i prakticiranja vjere sudionika, te
mogućnost ili nemogućnost rada u struci. Sudionike istraživanja, kada je riječ o životnom
standardu i tržištu rada u Republici Hrvatskoj, trenutno najviše muče jednaki problemi koji muče
hrvatsko domicilno stanovništvo, a to je opadajući životni standard, dok su iskustva diskriminacije
rijetka. Nadalje, većina sudionika je visoko obrazovana, a iako nije oduvijek bilo tako, danas radi
u IT industriji ili obavlja neki uredski posao, većinski na engleskom jeziku. Unatoč svim
proživljenim i opisanim poteškoćama, doseljenici islamske vjeroispovijesti su u ovom istraživanju
izrazili i svoju želju za ostankom u Republici Hrvatskoj, u nadi da će se ekonomska situacija
unaprijediti, a životni standard poboljšati.The goal of this research was to discover the positive and negative (risks, obstacles, and
difficulties) experiences of immigrants of the Islamic faith when it comes to work experiences and
finding a job in the Republic of Croatia, and to analyze their integration into Croatian society and
labor market. For the purpose of this research and thesis, a qualitative methodology was used, and
the required findings were obtained by applying the in-depth interview method to 8 participants.
Also, it was important to include in the sample those who have lived in the Republic of Croatia for
a number of years, because such participants have the capacity of providing insight into the
development of possibilities and opportunities of finding a job and working in the Republic of
Croatia over a longer period of time, as well as the capacity of pointing out the changes that were
enforced in the meantime. These changes are not only related to learning the Croatian language
over the years and adapting to the society in which they live, but also to the expansion of the labor
market into the international labor market, where English is considered the most desirable as a
universal international language. Also, the experiences of immigrants have shown that the
Republic of Croatia has become much more open to foreign workers and the international labor
market compared to the time before the coronavirus, as well as before and at the beginning of
joining the European Union. Given the topic concerns immigrants of the Islamic faith from thirdworld countries who have a completely different culture, laws, language, education, and religion;
the experiences of Islamic women-migrants, the relationship of the participants with their faith (in
connection with practicing and influences of work), and the possibility or impossibility of working
in the profession of participants were analyzed. When it comes to the standard of living and the
labor market in the Republic of Croatia, the participants currently have most of the same problems
that concern the Croatian domiciled population, which is a declining standard of living, while
experiences of discrimination are rare. Furthermore, most of the participants are highly educated
and, although it hasn't always been the case, they work in the IT industry or perform office work,
mostly in English. Despite all the difficulties experienced and described, the Islamic imigrants
expressed in this research their desire to stay in the Republic of Croatia in hope that the economic
situation will improve and the standard of living take a turn for the better
