A comparison of the literary criminalistic investigators Nikola Banić and Ivo Remetin
No full textIako su kriminalistički romani dio čitalačke kulture već gotovo dvjesto godina, zbog svoje shematiziranosti u kulturnim i povijesnim pregledima, kriminalističku beletristiku nastoji se marginalizirati. Osim pregleda kriminalističkog svjetskog i domaćeg žanra te pregleda teorijske literature, rad se bazira na komparaciji Nikole Banića i Ive Remetina na svim poljima njihovog djelovanja, od odnosa prema privatnom životu do onog javnog i istražiteljskog života. Nikola Banić, policijski istražitelj, protagonist je Tribusonovih kriminalistički romana Zavirivanje i Siva zona dok je Ivo Remetin novinar crne kronike, ali i amaterski istražitelj u djelima Pavla Pavličića Pjesma za rastanak i Štićena zona. Oba autora napisala su nekoliko kriminalističkih romana s ovim protagonistima i tako pridonijela hrvatskom kriminalističkom žanru
Satisfaction of Croatian language teachers and librarians with the contents of media literacy program in th eprimary school curriculum
No full textSažetak Medijska pismenost ključan je oblik pismenosti u posljednjih desetak godina jer su mediji postali sastavni dio svakodnevnog života ljudi u 21. stoljeću. Medijsko opismenjavanje djece u Hrvatskoj provodi se primarno kroz nastavu Hrvatskoga jezika i Informatike u osnovnim i srednjim školama pri čemu važnu ulogu imaju i različite međupredmetne teme koje u školama često provode i knjižničari. U ovome su radu prikazani stavovi učitelja Hrvatskoga jezika i knjižničara o sadržajima medijske pismenosti koje provode u nastavi te je ispitano njihovo zadovoljstvo tim sadržajima, te dodatnim materijalima, opremom i vlastitim medijskim kompetencijama. Metodom polustrukturiranog dubinskog intervjua u istraživanju su ispitane tri učiteljice Hrvatskoga jezika i tri knjižničarke koje provode aktivnosti vezane za kulturu i medije u svojoj školi. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da ispitanice ne smatraju medijsku pismenost adekvatno implementiranom u trenutni kurikul te da u njemu nedostaju ključni pojmovi i jasnije definirani odgojno-obrazovni ishodi. Također, navode da u trenutnom planu i programu nemaju dovoljno vremena za teme u području kulture i medija koje smatraju izuzetno važnima, a i da se osjećaju kompetentnima za predavanje tih sadržaja isključivo radi vlastite motiviranosti za medijsko opismenjavanje i samousavršavanje na dodatnim edukacijama. Ipak, ne slažu se oko uvođenja izbornog predmeta posvećenog isključivo medijskom obrazovanju – smatraju da je potrebno čim više vremena posvetiti medijskoj pismenosti, ali i smatraju da ono treba biti dostupno svima, ne samo onima koji odaberu takav dodatni predmet. Na temelju provedenog istraživanja može se zaključiti da su u budućnosti nužne promjene medijskog obrazovanja koje uključuju prilagodbu i nadogradnju sadržaja, povećanje broja sati posvećenih medijskoj pismenosti te dodatne edukacije za učitelje i knjižničare koji provode aktivnosti medijskog obrazovanja u osnovnim školama
Portrayal of women in nazi propaganda
No full textPropaganda is considered a crucial factor in the success of the Nazi regime in Germany, with
the historian Robert Edwin Herzstein stating that propaganda is “The War That Hitler Won.”
(As cited in Bytwerk, 2004) A part of this propaganda war was centered on women and their
contributions to the Third Reich, yet it is rarely discussed in this context. Looking into this
part of the Nazi propaganda can be important to uncover the reasons for complicity and
cooperation, what effects this type of propaganda had on women of the time and methods that
were successful.
Research so far was mostly focused on the widespread effects of Nazi propaganda, with a
small amount being specifically about women. This was possibly due to the age of the
material and the relatively recent arisal of feminism.
The goal is to examine the key messages perpetuated through the Nazi Party propaganda, the
image women were expected to embody and roles they were expected to take within the
society. The ideal of the ideal Nazi woman was relatively uniform and stable throughout the
duration of the Third Reich, conveyed through various forms of media and perpetuated by not
only the men, but by women in the regime too.Propaganda is considered a crucial factor in the success of the Nazi regime in Germany, with

Changes in communication in the work environment and communicator satisfaction
No full textPojavom digitalizacije i novih medija, organizacije su implementirale online komunikaciju u
svoju svakodnevicu što je dovelo do brojnih novosti u komunikaciji zaposlenika na njihovom
radnom mjestu. Interpersonalna komunikacija omogućuje trenutnu povratnu spregu i
neverbalno komuniciranje što pridonosi aktivnom slušanju koje je izrazito važno za
zadovoljstvo zaposlenika. Online komunikacija nudi mogućnost vrlo brze izmjene informacija
i dostupnost kanalima informiranja u bilo koje doba i na bilo kojem mjestu što je došlo do
posebnog izražaja u pandemiji COVID-19. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti promjene i novosti koje
su u interpersonalnu komunikaciju i odnose u radnom okruženju donijeli novi mediji te
zadovoljstvo komunikatora novim načinom komuniciranja. Istraživanje je provedeno
metodom ankete na 210 ispitanika u radnom odnosu te je ponudilo zaključke kako zaposlenici
radije biraju interpersonalnu komunikaciju u radnom okruženju te ju smatraju dubljom.
Online komunikaciju rado koriste radi njezine brzine i dostupnosti, ali se slažu kako ona može
biti izvor nesporazuma. Novosti koje su novi mediji donijeli u komunikaciju u radnom
okruženju ne moraju biti u suprotnosti s interpersonalnom komunikacijom. Zato je za
zadovoljstvo zaposlenika važno razumjeti te promjene, nove medije i zadanosti online
komunikacije te uvježbavati vještine interpersonalne komunikacije kako bi cjelokupna
komunikacija u organizaciji bila što kvalitetnija i svrhovitija.With the advent of digitalization and new media, organizations have implemented online
communication in their daily lives, which has led to numerous innovations in employee
communication in their workplace. Interpersonal communication enables instant feedback and
non-verbal communication which contributes to active listening which is extremely important
for employee satisfaction. Online communication offers the possibility of very fast change of
information and availability of information channels at any time and in any place, which came
to the fore in the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this paper is to explore the changes and
innovations brought by new media in interpersonal communication and relationships in the
work environment, and the satisfaction of communicators with a new way of communicating.
The research was conducted using a survey method of 210 respondents in the employment
relationship and offered conclusions on how employees choose interpersonal communication
in the work environment and consider it the deepest. They like to use online communication
for its speed and availability, but agree that it can be a source of misunderstanding. The
novelities that new media has brought to communication in the work environment does not
have to contradict interpersonal communication. That is why it is important for employee
satisfaction to understand these changes, new media and the default of online communication,
and to practice interpersonal communication skills so that the entire communication in the
organization is as high quality and purposeful as possible
Determinants of quality of life in women victims of domestic violence
No full textTijekom pandemije koronavirusa u 2020. godini, policijski službenici evidentirali su
povećanje u slučajevima obiteljskog nasilja u Republici Hrvatskoj (Ministarstvo unutarnjih
poslova, 2020), što upućuje na važnost istraživanja ove problematike. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio
je opisati socio-demografski profil korisnica sigurnih kuća u terminima obiteljskog nasilja te
utvrditi odrednice psihičkog i tjelesnog zdravlja te zadovoljstva općom kvalitetom života. U
istraživanju su sudjelovale 43 žene žrtve partnerskog nasilja (Mdob=36,51, SD=10,80), korisnice
sigurnih kuća u Republici Hrvatskoj. Podaci su prikupljeni online upitnikom u suradnji sa
zaposlenicama sigurnih kuća. Online upitnik, uz socio-demografska pitanja sadržavao je World
Health Organisation quality of life questionnaire – BREEF (WHOQOL Group, 1998), WHO
procjenu pretrpljenog nasilja (WHO, 2005), Rosenbergovu skalu samopoštovanja (Rosenberg,
1965), Kratku skalu otpornosti (Smith i sur., 2008) i Skalu socijalne podrške (Macdonald,
1998). Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da žrtve obiteljskog nasilja najčešće pripadaju dobnoj
skupini od 31 do 35 godina te imaju dvoje djece. Najviši stupanj završenog obrazovanja kod
većine sudionica je srednja škola te su većinom nezaposlene. Od strane partnera sudinice su u
pravilu doživjele više oblika psihičkog, tjelesnog i seksualnog nasilja, što je najveći broj osobno
prijavio policiji. Pearsonovim koeficijentom korelacije utvrđena je pozitivna povezanost
zadovoljstva općom kvalitetom života, zadovoljstva okolinom, psihološke otpornosti,
samopoštovanja, socijalnu podrške te psihičkog i tjelesnog zdravlja. Temeljem prediktorskih
varijabli psihološke otpornosti, zadovoljstva okolinom i socijalne podrške objašnjeno je 22,9%
varijance tjelesnog zdravlja, 46,5% varijance psihičkog zdravlja te 26,7% zadovoljstva općom
kvalitetom života. Najvažniji prediktor tjelesnog zdravlja jest psihološka otpornost, dok je u
objašnjavanju psihičkog zdravlja najvažnija varijabla zadovoljstva okolinom. Okolinske
varijable (socijalna podrška i zadovoljstvo okolinom) važnije su u objašnjavanju zadovoljstva
općom kvalitetom života. Dobiveni rezultati doprinose boljem razumijevanju različitih
obilježja korisnica sigurnih kuća, njihovog iskustva s različitim oblicima nasilja i činitelja koji
doprinose kvaliteti njihova života. S praktičnog aspekta, rezultati se mogu upotrijebiti pri
kreiranju specifičnih programa i intervencija namijenjih povećanju kvalitete života korisnica
sigurnih kuća.During the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, police officers recorded an increase in cases
of domestic violence in the Republic of Croatia, which emphasizes the importance of research
on this issue. The objective of this study was to describe the socio-demographic profile of
women who are safe house users in terms of domestic violence and to ascertain the determinants
of mental and physical health along with satisfaction with the general quality of life. The study
involved 43 female victims of intimate partner violence (Mage=36,51, SD=10,80). All
participants temporary lived in safe houses in the Republic of Croatia. Data was collected
through an online questionnaire in collaboration with safe house employees. The online
questionnaire, along with socio-demographic questions, included the World Health
Organisation quality of life questionnaire – BREEF (WHOQOL Group, 1998), the WHO
Operational definitions of violence (WHO, 2005), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
(Rosenberg, 1965), The Brief Resilience Scale (Smith i sur., 2008,) and the Social Support Scale
(Macdonald, 1998). The results show that most of the women victims of domestic violence
belong to the 31 to 35 age group and have two children. Their highest level of education is
commonly high school and they are mostly unemployed. Typically, women who participated
in the study experienced several forms of psychological, physical, and sexual violence from
their partner, which, in most cases, they have personally reported to the police. Pearson's
correlation coefficient established a positive correlation between satisfaction with general
quality of life, satisfaction with the environment, psychological resilience, self-esteem, social
support, and mental and physical health. The predictor variables of psychological resilience,
environmental satisfaction and social support explained 22.9% of physical health variance,
46.5% of the mental health variance and 26.7% of the satisfaction with the general quality of
life variance. The most important predictor of physical health is psychological resilience, while
environmental satisfaction is the most important variable in explaining mental health.
Environmental variables (social support and environmental satisfaction) are more important in
explaining satisfaction with general quality of life. The obtained results enable a better
understanding of the characteristics of the users of safe houses, their experience with various
forms of violence and the determinants that contribute to their quality of life. This alows the
creation of services that help meet their needs and increase their quality of life
The multidisciplinary team (mdt) in the treatment of head and neck cancer – a single institution experience
No full textHead and neck cancers are associated with significant morbidity and mortality despite advancements in treatment in recent decades. A multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of these diseases is thus of essential importance and is becoming the gold standard. Head and neck tumors also endanger relevant structures of the upper aerodigestive tracts, including bodily functions such as voice, speech, swallowing, and breathing. Damage to these functions can significantly influence quality of life. Thus, our study examined not only the roles of head and neck surgeons, oncologists and radiotherapists, but also the importance of the participation of different scientific professions such as anesthesiologists, psychologists, nutritionists, stomatologists, and speech therapists in the work of a multidisciplinary team (MDT). Their participation results in a significant improvement of patient quality of life. We also present our experiences in the organization and work of the MDT as part of the Center for Head and Neck Tumors of the Zagreb Clinical Hospital Center
From the Projection of Human Organs to the Projection of an Artificial Man: Current Framework of Philosophy of Technology
No full textBased on the thesis of Ernst Kapp about the projection of organs during the initial creation of tools, the current article tries to show that this thesis still has its implications today. Indeed, if Kapp claims that the man created tools by observing his organs and their functionality, then it should also be stated that today, from a technical point of view, the man has reached the position of projecting technically sophisticated tools for the replacement of human organs. There is an increasing tendency of human organ replacement aiding, and in many ways facilitating, human life, but also conscious and coordinated cyborgization and robotics with the aim of accelerating and improving that same life to the level of challenging a new stage of its evolution. Thus, the current framework of the philosophy of technology emerges, which was mainly initiated by Kapp’s thesis
LOGICAL FORMALIZATION OF EVIDENCE IN EVIDENTIAL LANGUAGES
No full textCilj je ovoga rada logički opisati fenomen evidencijalnosti obvezatnoga i gramatikaliziranoga
navođenja opravdanja ili dokazne grade za kakvu tvrdnju te uvidjeti načine primjene
takve formalizacije te lingvističke i filozofske spoznaje kao rezultate takve logike.
Lingvistička klasikacija proučava se tipološki te se analizira iz perspektive hijerarhizacije
evidencijalne snage. Naime, analiziraju se koji su evidencijalni markeri jači, odnosno koji
utječu na formiranje znanja ili istine za kakve tvrdnje u govornika. Takvi se pronalasci
povezuju s lozojom jezika, ali i epistemologijom, na temelju čega se razvija i logička
formalizacija.The goal of this dissertation is to logically describe the phenomenon of evidentiality
obligatory and grammaticalized statement of a certain justication or proof for a given
statement and to observe the application elds in which such a formalization could be
implemented, along with philosophical and linguistic insights as a result of such logic.
Linguistic classication is studied typologically and analyzed from an evidential-hierarchy
perspective. In other words, we are analyzing which evidential markers are stronger, i.e.
which are inuencing the formation of knowledge or truth of a certain statement for a
certain speaker. Such ndings are being connected to philosophy of language, but also
epistemology, on the basis of which a logical formalization is being constructed
The lasting impact of war experiences on quality of life in long-lived retirement homes residents: The birth cohort 1906–1928
No full textOnly a few studies have been conducted so far on the long-term impact of war. We investigated whether a life-long impact of the war experiences could be detected in advanced-agers who have successfully overcome all life's challenges. The participants in this study were oldest-old (80+ years) residents of retirement homes in Zagreb (Croatia), who were divided into two groups – ‘war-exposed’ and ‘not-exposed’ – according to their direct war experience (First World War, Second World War, Croatian Homeland War). Within this 1906–1928 birth cohort, a higher percentage of participants with war experiences reached extreme longevity (95+ years). We found no significant difference (p < 0.01) between the two groups concerning demographic and socio-economic characteristics, their life satisfaction, their self-rated current health and functional ability status. Despite numerous similarities, several traits related to life-history, current quality of life, attitudes and reflections distinguish the group of participants with direct war experience. The kind of war involvement – active military service, imprisonment in concentration camps or prisons, forced migration due to war and war- related death of close family members – stretched through various aspects of the life-history features, quality of life and attitudes. It differed for men and women, so it is no wonder that the significance pattern in the two genders mostly seems mutually exclusive. Socio-economic situations strongly differed by gender and according to the kind of war exposure, amplifying the differences within the ‘war-exposed’ group in terms of the life-long impact of wars on their lives. Therefore, we could claim that the war experiences were not the same for everybody, and that they had lasting consequences on the lifecourse of persons who directly faced war- related events. The results also point to the high resilience capacity as a common feature among persons who survived direct exposure to at least two wars and yet survived to exceptionally old age
