Attitudes of Students in the City of Zagreb Towards Forced Migrants from Syria and Ukraine
No full textNa svjetskoj razini trenutno se vodi više od 110 oružanih sukoba, neki od njih su više, a neki manje poznati široj javnosti (Today`s Armed Conflicts, n.d.). U okviru tog konteksta svijet se susreće sa sve većim brojem prisilnih migranata koji napuštaju svoj dom u potrazi za sigurnim utočištem. Države koje pruže sklonište često se susreću s prisilnim migrantima koji dolaze iz različitih kulturoloških, jezičnih i religijskih pozadina. Postavlja se pitanje kako se države snalaze u tom dodiru različitosti? Kakvi su stavovi građana prema prisilnim migrantima s obzirom na njihovu kulturološku, jezičnu i religijsku pozadinu? Na tragu tih promišljanja ovaj rad ispituje stavove studenata u gradu Zagrebu prema prisilnim migrantima iz Sirije i Ukrajine. Navedena tema istražena je putem online anketnog upitnika tijekom 2023. godine na uzorku od 356 studenata u gradu Zagrebu. U radu su testirane tri istraživačke hipoteze. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako studenti odabranih fakulteta u gradu Zagrebu u većem stupnju prihvaćaju prisilne migrante iz Ukrajine, za razliku od prisilnih migranata iz Sirije. Također, potvrđena je hipoteza prema kojoj studenti odabranih fakulteta u gradu Zagrebu u većem stupnju prihvaćaju prisilne migrante iz Ukrajine zbog toga što su kultura, religija i običaji prisilnih migranata iz Ukrajine sličniji kulturi, religiji i običajima u Hrvatskoj. Posljednja hipoteza, prema kojoj studenti odabranih fakulteta u gradu Zagrebu koji se pozicioniraju lijevo ili krajnje lijevo na političkom spektru u većem stupnju prihvaćaju prisilne migrante iz Sirije i Ukrajine, za razliku od studenata koji se politički pozicioniraju desno ili krajnje desno također je potvrđena.On a global scale, there are currently more than 110 armed conflicts, some of which are more, and some less, known to the general public (Today's Armed Conflicts, n.d.). In this context, the world is facing an increasing number of forced migrants leaving their homes in search of safe refuge. Countries that provide shelter often encounter forced migrants coming from different cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds. The question arises as to how countries manage this contact of diversity? What are the attitudes of citizens towards forced migrants considering their cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds? In line with these reflections, this paper examines the attitudes of students in the city of Zagreb towards forced migrants from Syria and Ukraine. The mentioned topic was explored through an online survey questionnaire during 2023 on a sample of 356 students in the city of Zagreb. Three research hypotheses were tested in the thesis. The research results showed that students of selected faculties accept more strongly forced migrants from Ukraine, compared to forced migrants from Syria. It was also confirmed that the hypothesis stating that students of selected faculties accept more strongly forced migrants from Ukraine because the culture, religion, and customs of forced migrants from Ukraine are more similar to the culture, religion, and customs in Croatia. The final hypothesis that students of selected faculties who position themselves left or far-left on the political spectrum, accept more strongly forced migrants from Syria and Ukraine, compared to students who position themselves politically right or far-right, was also confirmed
Sociological Aspects of Traffic in an Urban Context: The Example of Neighborhoods in the West Part of The City of Zagreb
No full textU diplomskom radu predstavljen je razvoj grada kroz dvije etape. Prva etapa je u doba industrijske revolucije, a druga nakon. Objašnjava se što je karakteriziralo tadašnji industrijski grad, koliko su prometnice bile važan aspekt razvoja industrijskog grada. Prometnice su oduvijek središte trgovine jer su jedan od glavnih faktora profita, posebice u doba industrijske revolucije kada je efikasnost prijevoza robe i sirovina bio ključni element razvoja. U diplomskom radu definira se održivost koja može imati jednako socijalnu i ekološku vrijednost. Socijalna održivost podrazumijeva sigurnost, rizik i kvalitetu života građana, dok je ekološka održivost temeljena na davanju konkretnih rješenja o saniranju nastalih i sprječavanju potencijalnih budućih šteta. U radu se govori o štetama koje utječu na prirodu i čovjeka, stoga veliki dio europskih i svjetskih politika svoje ciljeve usredotočuju ka zelenom razvoju. Provedeno je anketno istraživanje koje je ispitivalo zadovoljstvo građana sa prometnicama u zapadnom dijelu grada Zagreba. Ispitanici su iskazivali svoje stavove i mišljenja ispunjavanjem online ankete koja se sastojala od 48 visoko strukturiranih pitanja. Rezultati su pokazali da prevladava nezadovoljstvo, ponajprije sa velikim gužvama na prometnicama, nedostatkom parkirnih mjesta i nezadovoljavajućim javnim prijevozom.The thesis presents the development of the city through two stages. The first stage covers the period of the Industrial Revolution, and the second stage follows it. The thesis explains the characteristics of industrial cities during that time and highlights the significance of roads in their development. Roads have always been the center of trade as they are one of the main profit drivers, especially during the Industrial Revolution when the efficiency of transporting goods and raw materials was crucial for development. The thesis defines sustainability as having both social and environmental value. Social sustainability includes aspects such as safety, risk management, and the quality of life for citizens. Environmental sustainability focuses on providing concrete solutions for repairing existing damage and preventing potential future harm. The discussion addresses damages that impact both nature and humans, which is why many European and global policies prioritize Green Development. We conducted a survey to assess citizens' satisfaction with the roads in the western part of the city. Respondents shared their opinions by completing an online survey consisting of 48 highly structured questions. Our findings revealed a prevalent dissatisfaction, primarily due to heavy traffic congestion, a lack of parking spaces, and unsatisfactory public transportation
Uncovering cultural imperialism in the media: analysis of Croatian television programs
No full textKultura je dinamična i stalno se mijenja, no omogućuje ljudima izražavanje vlastitih vrijednosti. Upravo kroz kulturu vidljivo je i širenje stranih utjecaja. Kulturni imperijalizam, koji označava nametanje jedne kulture nad drugom, u povijesti je bio prisutan u obliku kolonijalizacije, dok se danas na njega gleda kao na širenje utjecaja kroz medijske i informacijske sadržaje. Rad prikazuje kako je kroz povijest gledano na kulturni imperijalizam te analizira ulogu medija u tom procesu. Naime, teorija kulturnog imperijalizma ističe dominaciju zapadnih medija te njihov utjecaj na ostale kulture. Zapadni mediji imaju značajan utjecaj na globalnu kulturu te na taj način često mijenjaju lokalne tradicije. Ključnu ulogu u globalnoj distribuciji medijskih sadržaja imaju Sjedinjene Američke Države koje koriste svoju ekonomsku i tehnološku prednost. Cilj je ovoga rada analizirati elemente kulturnog imperijalizma na hrvatskim televizijskim programima. S druge strane rad proučava pojam kulturne ovisnosti televizijskih medija u Hrvatskoj te se u tom kontekstu istraživalo kako se hrvatski sadržaji pozicioniraju u odnosu na strane sadržaje. Istraživanje je pokazalo da na najgledanijim televizijskim kanalima u Hrvatskoj postoji kulturni imperijalizam kroz prisutnost američkih zabavnih sadržaja, no postoji i značajna prisutnost hrvatske produkcije koja promiče lokalnu kulturu i vrijednosti koje pomažu u očuvanju hrvatskog kulturnog identiteta u medijskom okruženju.Culture is dynamic and constantly changing, but it allows people to express their own values. Through culture, the spread of foreign influences is also evident. Cultural imperialism, which denotes the imposition of one culture over another, was historically present in the form of colonization, whereas today it is viewed as the spread of influence through media and information flows. The thesis illustrates how cultural imperialism has been perceived throughout history and analyses the role of the media in this process. The theory of cultural imperialism highlights the domination of Western media and their influence on other cultures. Western media have a significant impact on global culture, often altering local traditions. The United States plays a crucial role in the global distribution of media content, leveraging its economic and technological advantages. The aim of this thesis is to analyse elements of cultural imperialism in Croatian television programs. On the other hand, the thesis examines the concept of cultural dependency of television media in Croatia, exploring how Croatian content is positioned in relation to foreign content. The research showed that cultural imperialism is present on the most-watched television channels in Croatia through the presence of American entertainment content. However, there is a significant presence of Croatian productions that promote local culture and values, which help preserve cultural identity in the media environment
Adverse childhood experiences, perception of parental behavior and symptoms of eating disorders
No full textCilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati moderatorski doprinos percepcije roditeljstva na odnos proživljenih nepovoljnih iskustava u djetinjstvu i simptoma poremećaja hranjenja kod žena u mladoj odrasloj dobi. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 140 žena u dobi od 18 do 25 godina. Sudionice su u okviru istraživanja ispunile Upitnik nepovoljnih iskustava u djetinjstvu, Upitnik navika hranjenja te Upitnik roditeljskog prihvaćanja-odbacivanja. Obzirom na dosad poznate teorije i saznanja, očekivalo se kako će žene koje su u djetinjstvu bile izložene nepovoljnim iskustvima ovisno o percepciji topline ili hladnoće majčinog, odnosno očevog ponašanja prijaviti više ili manje simptoma poremećaja hranjenja u mladoj odrasloj dobi. Istraživanje je postavilo dva modela koja pokušavaju objasniti pojavu simptoma poremećaja hranjenja kod mladih žena; jedan vezan za nepovoljna iskustva iz djetinjstva i percepciju očevog ponašanja, a drugi za nepovoljna iskustva u djetinjstvu i percepciju majčinog ponašanja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako je izloženost nepovoljnim iskustvima u djetinjstvu kao i percepcija majčinog ponašanja značajan prediktor za nastanak simptoma poremećaja hranjenja. Percepcija očevog ponašanja nije značajno pridonijela nastanku simptoma hranjenja kod mladih žena. Također, pokazalo se kako postoji značajan moderatorski učinak percepcije majčinog ponašanja na odnos između izloženosti nepovoljnim iskustvima u djetinjstvu i simptoma poremećaja hranjenja dok isti nije nađen kod percepcije očevog ponašanja. Konačno, zajednički doprinos prediktora i moderatora u oba modela, i onom za majku i onom za oca, značajno objašnjavaju simptome poremećaja hranjenja kod žena u mladoj odrasloj dobi te pridonose boljem razumijevanju ovog područja.The aim of this research was to examine the moderating contribution of the perception of parenthood on the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and symptoms of eating disorders in women in young adulthood. One hundred and forty women between the ages of 18 and 25 participated in the research. As part of the research, the participants filled out the Questionnaire on Adverse Childhood Experiences, the Eating Habits Questionnaire, and the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire. Considering the theories and findings known so far, it was expected that women who were exposed to adverse experiences in childhood, depending on the perception of warmth or coldness of their mother's or father's behavior, would report more or fewer symptoms of eating disorders in young adulthood. The research set up two models that attempt to explain the development of eating disorder symptoms in young women; one related to adverse childhood experiences and the perception of the father's behavior, and the other to adverse childhood experiences and the perception of the mother's behavior. The results of the research showed that exposure to adverse experiences in childhood, as well as the perception of the mother's behavior, is a significant predictor for the onset of eating disorder symptoms. The perception of the father's behavior did not significantly contribute to the emergence of feeding symptoms in young women. Also, it was shown that there is a significant moderating effect of the perception of the mother's behavior on the relationship between exposure to adverse experiences in childhood and the appearance of symptoms of eating disorders, while the same was not found with the perception of the father's behavior. Finally, the contribution of predictors and moderators in both models, the one for the mother and the one for the father, significantly explain the symptoms of eating disorders in women in young adulthood and contribute to a better understanding of this area
Balkanism in American Film: A Study on Prejudice and Stereotypes of the "Balkan people" and Cultures
No full textPojam Balkana je jedan od kontroverznijih u javnom i akademskom diskursu, a takvim ga čini upravo nemogućnost da se u krajnosti odredi i definira, tj. da zadobi usuglašenu definiciju. Ovaj rad ne nastoji odgovoriti na pitanje „Što je Balkan?“, već razrađuje moguće odgovore na pitanje „Zašto je Balkan?“ uz pomoć ključne literature istaknutih povjesničara, socijalnih psihologa i medijskih stručnjaka. Kroz poznatu dihotomiju Istok-Zapad, gdje je Istok Balkan, a Zapad SAD, rad nastoji procijeniti razinu utjecaja koju sjevernoamerički visokobudžetni film ima na kreiranje i perpetuiranje stereotipa i predrasuda te općenitih stavova prema balkanskoj regiji na globalnoj razini. Kvalitativnim metodama, kao što su analiza sadržaja, nastojimo istražiti na koji su način prikazani ljudi s područja Balkana, balkanske kulture, običaji, jezici te Balkan općenito. Vodeća hipoteza jest da je Balkan u potpunosti pejorativan pojam za istočnoeuropsku regiju te da holivudski film podilazi toj konotaciji namjerno i/ili slučajno kroz produkciju filmova koji na neki način tematiziraju Balkan. Analizom pet izabranih primjernih filmova potvrđeno je kako su negativni stereotipi i predrasude o Balkanu prisutne na mnoštvo načina unutar filma te da u modernoj holivudskoj filmografiji gotovo pa ne postoje primjeri filmova iste tematike koji to ne čine. Dakle, zaključeno je kako američki filmovi potvrđuju i potiču negativna mišljenja o Balkanu i „balkanskim narodima“, s tim da razina utjecaja na globalno mnijenje ne može biti izmjerena već samo pretpostavljena. Međutim, uzevši u obzir snagu amerikanizacije te samog medija kao što je film, utjecaj na globalnu publiku je sigurno prisutan i značajan. Ovome radu je namjera otvoriti diskurs o globalnoj percepciji balkanske regije kroz umjetnost i medije jer je regija nerijetko zastupljena, ne samo u filmovima, već i u TV serijama, videoigrama te na društvenim mrežama. Ovo istraživanje se stoga može proširiti i nadograditi analizama takvih sadržaja, ali i istraživanjima koja proučavaju ulogu Balkana i balkanskoga filma i medija u perpetuiranju negativnih stereotipa o samome sebi, jer za ovaj fenomen ne nosi krivicu isključivo Zapad i SAD.The concept of the Balkans is one of the most controversial in public and academic discourse, and what makes it so is precisely the impossibility of determining and defining it in the extreme, i.e. of obtaining an agreed definition. This paper does not attempt to answer the question "What are the Balkans?", but elaborates possible answers to the question "Why are the Balkans?" with the help of key prominent historians, social psychologists and media experts. Through the well-known East-West dichotomy, where the East is the Balkans and the West is the USA, the paper tries to assess the level of influence that the North American high-budget film has on the creation and perpetuation of stereotypes and prejudices and general attitudes towards the Balkans globally. Using qualitative methods, such as content analysis, we try to investigate how people from the Balkans, Balkan culture, customs, languages and the Balkans in general are portrayed. The leading hypothesis is that the Balkans are a completely pejorative term for the Eastern European region and that the Hollywood film lives up to this connotation intentionally and/or accidentally through the production of films that in some way thematize the Balkans. The analysis of five selected exemplary films confirmed that negative stereotypes and prejudices about the Balkans are present in many ways within the film, and that in modern Hollywood filmography there are almost no examples of films with the same theme that do not. Thus, it was concluded that American films confirm and encourage negative opinions about the Balkans and the “Balkan peoples”, with the fact that the level of influence on global opinion cannot be measured but only assumed. However, taking into account the power of Americanization and the medium itself such as film, the impact on a global audience is certainly present and significant. The intention of this work is to open a discourse on the global perception of the Balkan region through art and media, because the region is often represented, not only in films, but also in TV series, video games and on social networks. This research can therefore be expanded and upgraded with the analysis of such content, but also with research that studies the role of the Balkans and Balkan film and media in perpetuating negative stereotypes about oneself, because the West and the USA are not solely to blame for this phenomenon
Stigma, Literacy and Locus of Control as Determinants of Psychological Help-Seeking Attitudes in Context of Peripartum Depressivness
No full textIstraživanja pokazuju kako od 10 do 20 % žena doživi depresivne simptome u peripartalnom razdoblju, no većina ne potraži pomoć. Stavovi o traženju stručne pomoći su najdosljedniji prediktor korištenja usluga stručne podrške mentalnom zdravlju. Javna stigma i nedostatak znanja spominju se kao prepreke traženju pomoći dok je lokus kontrole slabije istraživan u ovom kontekstu. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati stigmu, znanje o peripartalnoj depresiji i lokus kontrole kao odrednice stavova o traženju psihološke pomoći u kontekstu peripartalne depresivnosti.
Sudionice su bile su trudnice i majke koje imaju dijete do prve godine života (N=279). Sudionice su ispunjavale Edinburšku ljestvicu poslijeporođajne depresivnosti (EPDS), Upitnik javne stigme kod primanja stručne pomoći (SSRPH), Skalu znanja o poslijeporođajnoj depresiji (KPPD-Q), Rotterovu ljestvicu unutrašnjeg naprama izvanjskom mjestu kontrole (RI-E), Upitnik stavova o traženju stručne psihološke pomoći (ATSPPH-SF) i Upitnik sociodemografskih podataka.
Prema rezultatima, veća stigma povezana je s negativnijim stavovima prema traženju pomoći. Više znanje o peripartalnoj depresivnosti povezano je s pozitivnijim stavovima, dok je više eksternalan lokus kontrole povezan s negativnijim stavovima prema traženju stručne pomoći. Javna stigma i lokus kontrole pokazali su se značajnim prediktorima stavova dok se znanje o peripartalnoj depresivnosti nije pokazalo značajnim prediktorom. Peripartalna depresivnost se nije pokazala moderatorom u odnosu lokusa kontrole i stavova o traženju stručne psihološke pomoći.
Nalazi ovog istraživanja pridonose razumijevanju prediktora stavova o traženju stručne pomoći te mogu poslužiti pri stvaranju praktičnih programa usmjerenih na traženje pomoći u peripartalnom razdoblju.Research shows that 10 to 20% of women experience symptoms of depression in the peripartum period, but the majority do not seek help. Attitudes about seeking professional help are the most consistent predictor of the use of professional mental health support services. Public stigma and lack of knowledge are mentioned as barriers to help-seeking, while locus of control has been underinvestigated in this context. The aim of this research was to examine stigma, knowledge about peripartum depression and locus of control as determinants of attitudes about seeking psychological help in the context of peripartum depression
The participants were pregnant women and mothers who have an infant up to one year of age (N=279). The participants filled out The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), Stigma Scale for Receiving Professional Psychological Help (SSRPH), The Knowledge about Postpartum Depression Questionnaire (KPPD-Q), Rotter's I-E Scale (RI-E), The Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) and Sociodemographic Data Questionnaire.
According to the results, greater stigma is associated with more negative attitudes toward help-seeking. Better knowledge about peripartum depression is associated with more positive attitudes, while more external locus of control is associated with more negative attitudes toward seeking professional help. Public stigma and locus of control were found to be significant predictors of attitudes, while knowledge about peripartum depression was not a significant predictor. Peripartum depression did not prove to be a moderator in the relationship between locus of control and attitudes about seeking professional psychological help.
The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of predictors of attitudes about seeking professional help and can serve in the creation of practical programs aimed at help-seeking in the peripartum period
Frequency of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptoms and Comorbidity with Depressiveness and Anxiety During Pregnancy
No full textTrudnoća je za mnoge žene razdoblje ispunjeno ugodnim emocijama i uzbuđenjem, no može biti i izazovno razdoblje karakterizirano promjenama i stresom. Pri tome, kakvo će iskustvo trudnoća ženama biti ovisi o raznim čimbenicima poput samog tijeka trudnoće, fizičkog i mentalnog zdravlja trudnice, podrške bliskih osoba, socioekonomske situacije i slično. Također, u trudnoći postoji veći rizik za razvojpsihijatrijskih poremećaja ili simptoma tih poremećaja, uključujući opsesivno-kompulzivni poremećaj (OKP). Opsesije su ponavljajuće misli, slike, porivi koje osoba doživljava kao nametnute, a kompulzije se odnose na ponavljajuća ponašanja ili psihičke aktivnosti koje osoba najčešće izvodi kako bi umanjila anksioznost prouzročenu prisutnošću opsesija. Istraživanja pokazuju da je u trudnoći povećan rizik za pojavu OKP-a i to 1,5 puta više u odnosu na opću populaciju. Ovo istraživanje imalo je za cilj istražiti učestalosti korelate opsesivno-kompulzivnih simptoma kod trudnica u Hrvatskoj. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da prevalencija opsesivno-kompulzivnih simptoma na uzorku 145trudnicau Hrvatskoj iznosi 18% pri čemu su tisimptomi bili blage do umjerene težine. S prisutnim opsesivno-kompulzivnim simptomima može se povezati povijest psihičkih problema i povijest primanja stručne pomoći ili liječenja. Viša razina simptoma OKP-a bila je umjereno povezana s višom razinomanksioznosti i depresivnosti. Opća anksioznost je značajan prediktor u objašnjenju simptoma OKP-a pri čemu njezine više razine upućuju na više simptoma OKP-a.Rezultati ukazuju na prisutnost simptoma OKP-a kod trudnica u Hrvatskoj, a kako bi se spriječile negativne posljedice tih simptoma važno je njihovo rano prepoznavanje i tretman.Many women experience pregnancy as a period filled with pleasant emotions and excitement, but it can also be a challenging period characterized by changes and stress. How women experience pregnancy depends on various factors such as the course of pregnancy itself, the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman, the support of family and friends, the socioeconomic situation,etc.Also, during pregnancy,women are athigher risk of developingpsychiatric disorders or symptoms of these disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Obsessions are repetitive thoughts, images, andurges that a person perceives as imposed,and compulsions relate to repetitive behavioursor psychological activities that a person most often performs in order to reduce anxiety caused by the presence of obsessions. Research shows that the risk ofdevelopingOCD is 1.5 times higherin pregnancythan inthegeneral population.The aim of this research was to examine the frequency and correlates of obsessive-compulsive symptoms amongpregnant women in Croatia.The prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in a sample of 145pregnant women in Croatia is 18%, with predominantly mild and moderate symptoms. A history of psychological problems andahistory of receiving professional help or treatment correlates with the presence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms.Higher level of OCD symptoms was moderately associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression. General anxiety wasa significant predictor in explaining OCD symptomsmeaninghigher levels of general anxiety indicate more OCD symptoms.Thesefindingssuggestthe presence of OCD symptoms among pregnant women in Croatia, and early recognition and treatment of these symptoms are important to prevent negative consequences
The harmony of women's private and business life as a factor in fertility: the example od the City of Samobor
No full textOd samog početka ljudskog društva žene i muškarci imaju određene uloge u istom. U tradicionalnom poimanju obitelji žene se brinu za kuću i obitelj, a muškarci su zaduženi za rad i zarađivanje novca kojim osiguravaju obitelji sve što joj je potrebno. U suvremenim obiteljima rodna podjela uloga je drugačija – žene su ravnopravne muškarcima, obrazuju se, razvijaju karijeru i donose odluku o tome kada i koliko djece će imati. S obzirom na to da žene sve više ulažu u obrazovanje i žele se ostvariti i na poslovnom planu iste se danas odlučuju na ulazak u brak i rađanje djece u kasnijim godinama nego što je bio slučaj u prošlosti. Jedan od izazova s kojima se žene, s naglaskom na zaposlene majke, susreću je postizanje ravnoteže u privatnom i poslovnom dijelu života. Ubrzani svakodnevni tempo života, stres na radnom mjestu, želja da postignu poslovne rezultate te obveze koje imaju u kućanstvu i oko obitelji dovode do toga da žene teško mogu postići ravnotežu između privatnog i poslovnog života što se odražava na fertilitet žena. Naime, jedan od gorućih problema u svijetu, uključujući i Republiku Hrvatsku, je niska stopa fertiliteta. U gotovo svim državama svijeta iz godinu u godinu bilježe se povijesno niske stope fertiliteta što nepovoljno utječe na demografsku sliku stanovništva pa države kroz provođenje obiteljske politike žele potaknuti mlade na osnivanje obitelji, odnosno rađanje djece. U Gradu Samoboru već godinama se aktivno provode različite mjere obiteljske politike kako bi se potaknulo stanovnike na osnivanje obitelji, ali i privuklo ljude iz drugih dijelova Republike Hrvatske na dolazak i osnivanje obitelji u Samoboru. Opći cilj rada je ispitati vrijednosti privatnog i poslovnog života žena na području Grada Samobora te otkriti uspijevaju li iste uspostaviti ravnotežu između privatnog i poslovnog života. Rad je temeljen na kvalitativnom istraživanju koje je provedeno metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua sa šest zaposlenih majki s područja Grada Samobora. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je Samobor, zbog lokacije, okruženja i obiteljske politike koja se provodi u istom poželjno mjesto za osnivanje obitelji i obiteljski život. Nadalje, istraživanje je pokazalo da zaposlene majke teško pronalaze ravnotežu između obiteljskog i poslovnog života te da je za postizanje ravnoteže potrebno jako puno fokusa, planiranja i komunikacije s partnerima. Rezultati istraživanja ne mogu se poopćiti zato što je u istraživanju sudjelovao ograničen broj sudionika koju su namjerno izabrani, ali važnost njihovog sudjelovanja u istraživanju ogleda se u tome što su sudionice ukazale na problem uspostavljanja ravnoteže između privatnog i poslovnog života zaposlenih majki te istaknule uspješnost Grada Samobora u provođenju mjera obiteljske politike.From the very beginning of human society, women and men have certain roles in it. In the traditional concept of the family, women take care of the house and family, and men are in charge of making money to provide the family with everything it needs. In modern families, the gender division of roles is different - women are equal to men, get an education, develop a career, and make decisions about when and how many children they will have. Given that women invest more and more in education and want to succeed in business, today they often decide to get married and have children at a later age than was the case in the past. One of the challenges faced by women, with an emphasis on working mothers, is achieving balance in the private and business part of life. The accelerated daily pace of life, stress at the workplace, the desire to achieve business results, and the responsibilities they have in the household and around the family make it difficult for women to achieve a balance between private and business life, which affects women's fertility. Namely, one of the pressing problems in the world, including the Republic of Croatia, is the low fertility rate. Historically low fertility rates are recorded year after year in almost all countries in the world, which adversely affects the demographic picture of the population, so countries, through the implementation of family policy, want to encourage young people to start a family, that is, to have children. Various family policy measures have been actively implemented in the City of Samobor for years in order to encourage residents to start a family, but also to attract people from other parts of the Republic of Croatia to come and start a family in Samobor. The general goal of this paper is to examine the values of the private and business life of women in the area of the City of Samobor and to find out whether they manage to establish a balance between the private and business part of their lives. The paper is based on qualitative research that was conducted using the method of semi-structured interviews with six working mothers from the area of the City of Samobor. The results of the research show that Samobor, due to its location, environment and the family policy implemented in it, is a desirable place for starting a family and family life. Furthermore, research has shown that working mothers find it difficult to find a balance between family and work life, and that achieving a balance requires a lot of focus, planning and communication with partners. The results of the research cannot be generalized because the research involved a limited number of participants who were deliberately chosen, but the importance of their participation in the research is reflected in the fact that the participants pointed to the problem of establishing a balance between the private and business life of working mothers and highlighted the success of the City of Samobor in the implementation of family policy measures
Fundamental Aspects and Opportunities for the Development of Intercultural Communication in Children

Komunikacija se proteže kroz sve dijelove djetetova života, oblikuje svaki aspekt njegova postojanja te mu omogućava izražavanje osjećaja, potreba i uspostavljanje veza s drugima. Kako bismo bolje razumjeli komunikacijske sposobnosti djece u današnjem kulturno pluralnom svijetu,koji zahtijeva visoku razinu kulturne osjetljivosti i etnorelativističkih stavova, analizirat ćemo načine na koje kulturni obrasci oblikuju komunikacijske modele i vještine u dječjoj dobi. Posebnu pažnju posvetit ćemo razumijevanju dječje komunikacije u različitim kulturnim kontekstima i važnosti učenja interkulturalne kompetencije od najranije dobi. U skladu s tim, ciljevi radasu:predstavititemeljne razlike u komunikaciji koje su ukorijenjene u kulturnim obrascima u dječjoj dobi, analizirati koliko interkulturalni kurikulum predložen u Bijeloj knjizi o međukulturnomdijalogu(Vijeće Europe, 2008) doprinosi interkulturalnoj komunikaciji i u kojim segmentimate predložiti konkretne smjernice za poboljšanje interkulturalnog odgoja i obrazovanja. U metodološkom smislu, rad je pregledan te je deskriptivnom i komparativnom analizom sadržajapredočen sažet prikaz postojećih istraživanja o interkulturalnoj komunikaciji kod djece. U ovom radu poseban naglasak stavljen je na Europu kao rastuće središte interkulturalnih odnosa. Migracije su Europu učinile centrom interkulturalnih odnosa, gdje novo globalno društvo karakterizira interakcija različitih kulturnih, etničkih i vjerskih skupina, kao i različitih društvenih manjina i pokreta. Kroz rad smo analizirali kako te migracije utječu na obrazovni sustav i kulturne odnose te smo pokazali da interkulturalno obrazovanje može igrati ključnu ulogu u izgradnji tolerantnijih građana. Naša analiza pokazala je daškola mora preuzeti aktivniju ulogu u promicanju interkulturalnih kompetencija, pružajući ne samo znanje već i kritičku prosudbu te vrednovanje različitih kultura. Zaključno, rad pozivanauključivanje interkulturalnog kurikuluma u proces odgoja i obrazovanjakako bi djeca stekla vještine potrebne za uspješno snalaženje u kulturno pluralnom svijetu.Communication skills are highlighted as an important factor that shapes the quality of a child's life. Communication extends through all parts of a child's life, shaping every aspect of their existence and enabling them to express feelings, needs, and establish connections with others. To better understand the communication abilities of children in today's culturally plural world, which requires a high level of cultural sensitivity and ethnorelativistic attitudes, we will analyze the ways in which cultural patterns shape communication models and skills in childhood. Special attention will be given to understanding children's communication in different cultural contexts and the importance of learning intercultural competence from an early age. Accordingly, the objectives of this paper include: presenting the fundamental differences in communication rooted in cultural patterns in childhood, analyzing how the intercultural curriculum proposed in the White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue (Council of Europe, 2008) contributes to intercultural communication and in which segments, and proposing concrete guidelines for improving intercultural education. Methodologically, the paper is reviewed and presented through a descriptive and comparative content analysis of existing research on intercultural communication in children. This paper places special emphasis on Europe as a growing center of intercultural relations. Migration has made Europe a hub of intercultural relations, where the new global society is characterized by the interaction of different cultural, ethnic, and religious groups, as well as various social minorities and movements. Throughout the paper, we analyzed how these migrations affect the educational system and cultural relations, demonstrating that intercultural education can play a key role in building more tolerant citizens. Our analysis showed that schools must take a more active role in promoting intercultural competencies, providing not only knowledge but also critical judgment and appreciation of different cultures. In conclusion, the paper calls for the inclusion of an intercultural curriculum in the education process so that children acquire the skills needed to successfully navigate a culturally plural world
