Analysis of violent content in music videos on the example of Billboard`s chart of the most played songs
No full textNasilje u medijima čest je predmet istraživanja znanstvenika zbog potencijalnog utjecaja na ponašanje publike. Ono može imati kratkoročne i dugoročne posljedice, a javlja se i u glazbi te glazbenim spotovima koji su važan dio popularne kulture. Pjesme, osim nasilnih tekstova, mogu sadržavati i vizualne prikaze nasilja, što pojačava njihov štetni utjecaj. U ovom radu analiziraju se nasilni sadržaji u glazbenim spotovima s Billboardove ljestvice najslušanijih pjesama, kako bi se dobio uvid u prisutnost i karakteristike nasilja u tim vizualnim medijima. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi učestalost nasilnih sadržaja u spotovima, identificirati žanrove s najviše nasilja te analizirati karakteristike počinitelja i žrtava nasilja u glazbenim spotovima. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom analize sadržaja s pomoću matrice za analizu, a obuhvatilo je 100 najslušanijih pjesama u 2023. godini. Rezultati su pokazali da 30 % glazbenih spotova sadrži nasilne scene. Među počiniteljima nasilja, muškarci su prikazani kao isključivi počinitelji u 32,1 % spotova, dok su žene u toj ulozi prikazane u 28,5 % spotova. Što se tiče žrtava, muškarci su prikazani kao žrtve nasilja u 40 % spotova, dok su žene žrtve u 8 % spotova. Analiza je također otkrila da su počinitelji nasilja najčešće osobe crne rase, dok su žrtve nasilja najčešće bijelci. Nasilje je najčešće prikazano u stvarnom kontekstu. Hip-hop/rap pokazao se najnasilnijim žanrom.Violence in the media is a common subject of scientific researches due to its potential impact on audience behavior. It can have both short-term and long-term consequences, appearing in music and music videos, which are significant parts of popular culture. Songs, besides violent lyrics, can also contain visual depictions of violence, enhancing their harmful effects. This paper analyzes violent content in music videos from Billboard's chart of top songs to gain insight into the presence and characteristics of violence in these visual media. The aim of the research was to determine the frequency of violent content in music videos, identify the genres with the most violence, and analyze the characteristics of the perpetrators and victims of violence in music videos. The research was conducted using content analysis with an analysis matrix and covered the 100 most popular songs of 2023. The results showed that 30 % of music videos contain violent scenes. Among the perpetrators of violence, men are exclusively depicted as perpetrators in 32,1 % of the videos, while women are shown in this role in 28,5 % of the videos. Regarding victims, men are depicted as victims of violence in 40 % of the videos, while women are victims in 8 % of the videos. The analysis also revealed that the perpetrators of violence are most often black race individuals, while the victims are most often white. Violence is most frequently portrayed in a realistic context. Hip-hop/rap was identified as the most violent genre
Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna: From its Formation to Self-Abolition (1993. - 1996.)
No full textRaspadom Socijalističke Republike Bosne i Hercegovine početkom 90-ih godina 20. stoljeća dolazi do otvorenih sukoba na njenom teritoriju i osnivanju novih upravnih jedinica. Radi obrane od srpskog, ali i muslimanskog agresora, hrvatski narod u Bosni i Hercegovini osnovao je svoju upravnu jedinicu Hrvatsku zajednicu Herceg-Bosnu. Donošenjem Owen Stoltenbergova mirovnog plana od strane međunarodne zajednice, Hrvatska zajednica Herceg-Bosna izrasta u Hrvatsku Republiku Herceg-Bosnu čime dobiva elemente državnosti. Napori međunarodne zajednice da prijedlozima mirovnih sporazuma o preustroju Bosne i Hercegovine zaustave sukobe unutar te države nisu uspjeli zbog neslaganja sukobljenih naroda. To se dogodilo tek nakon potpisivanja Washingtonskih sporazuma između Hrvata i Muslimana te u konačnici potpisivanjem Daytonskog sporazuma sva tri naroda. Nakon potpisanog Daytonskog sporazuma, započinje proces implementacije Federacije BiH, a to je značilo stapanje institucija Hrvatske Republike Herceg-Bosne s institucijama Republike BiH. Hrvatska Republika Herceg-Bosna de iure postoji sve do 1996. godine kada dolazi do reorganizacije njene Vlade na šest ministarstava.The collapse of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the early 1990s led to open conflicts on its territory and the establishment of new administrative units. In order to defend themselves from the Serbian and Muslim aggressors, the Croatian people in Bosnia and Herzegovina founded their administrative unit, the Croatian Community of Herceg-Bosna. With the adoption of Owen Stoltenberg's peace plan by the international community, the Croatian community of Herceg-Bosna grows into the Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna, which acquires the elements of statehood. The efforts of the international community to stop internal conflicts with proposals for peace agreements on the reorganization of Bosnia and Herzegovina failed due to the disagreement of the conflicting nations. This is achieved only by the signing of the Washington Agreements between Croats and Muslims, and ultimately by the signing of the Dayton Agreement by all three nations. Only after the Dayton Agreement was signed, the process of implementing the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina began, which meant the merger of the institutions of the Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna with the institutions of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna de jure existed until 1996, when its Government was reorganized into six ministries
The Impact of New Technologies in the Creation of Close Relationship
No full textAplikacije za upoznavanje pridonijele su popularizaciji mrežnih sastanaka, čineći online upoznavanje danas već uobičajenim kanalom za uspostavljanje veze. Rad istražuje kako su digitalne platforme promijenile načine upoznavanja i formiranja romantičnih veza te kako funkcioniraju aplikacije za upoznavanje. Također se ukazuje i na pozitivna i negativna iskustva koja se vežu uz te aplikacije.
Ciljevi istraživanja obuhvaćaju analizu utjecaja novih tehnologija na interpersonalne odnose i istraživanje promjena koje su nastale s pojavom aplikacija za upoznavanje.
Metode istraživanja uključuju analizu postojećih istraživanja i literaturu vezanu uz temu, kao i provedbu ankete među mladim korisnicima aplikacija za upoznavanje. Anketa je sadržavala pitanja o izboru aplikacija, glavne razloge korištenja aplikacija te njihove pozitivne i negativne strane korištenja.
Rezultati su predočili da su aplikacije za upoznavanje, kao što su Tinder, OKCupid i Badoo, značajno promijenile dinamiku romantičnih veza premda se u Hrvatskoj slabije koriste. Korisnici su kao pozitivnu stranu njihovog korištenja naveli upravo upoznavanje ljudi sa sličnim interesima, ali postoji i doza opreza kod ovakvog načina upoznavanja. Također, ispitanici smatraju da je potrebno više edukacije o zdravim vezama i ljubavnom životu u virtualnom prostoru.Dating apps have contributed to the popularization of online meetings, making online dating a common channel for making connections today. The paper explores how digital platforms have changed the ways of meeting and forming romantic relationships and how dating apps work. It also points to the positive and negative experiences associated with these applications.
The objectives of the research include the analysis of the impact of new technologies on interpersonal relationships and the investigation of changes that occurred with the advent of dating applications.
Research methods include analysis of existing research and literature related to the topic, as well as conducting a survey among young users of dating apps. The survey contained questions about the choice of applications, the main reasons for using applications and their positive and negative aspects of use.
The results showed that dating applications, such as Tinder, OKCupid and Badoo, significantly changed the dynamics of romantic relationships, although they are used less in Croatia. Users mentioned meeting people with similar interests as a positive side of their use, but there is also a dose of caution with this way of meeting. Also, respondents believe that more education is needed on healthy relationships and love life in virtual space
The Specifics of the Diet of people Suffering from Hemophilia Compared to Healthy Population: a Cross-sectional Study
No full textUvod: Hemofilija je rijedak poremećaj zgrušavanja krvi koji uzrokuje pojačano krvarenje. Osobe oboljele od hemoflije ne zahtijevaju posebnu prehranu, ali je za njih važno pridržavanje osnovnih načela zdrave prehrane u svrhu održavanja normalne tjelesne težine. Povećana tjelesna težina može uzrokovati naprezanje mišića i krvarenje u zglobove. Konzumiranjem zdrave prehrane može se pomoći u održavanju normalne tjelesne težine i smanjenju rizika od kroničnih bolesti.
Cilj istraživanja: Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi postoji li ili ne postoji posebnost prehrambenih navika oboljelih od hemofilije u odnosu na zdravu populaciju.
Metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 30 osoba oboljelih od hemofilije te 98 osoba zdrave populacije s područja Hrvatske. Za potrebe istraživanja korištena je online anketa koja je sadržavala sociodemografska pitanja te specifična pitanja o količini uzimanja raznih namirnica, pića , unosu vitamina i minerala kroz pravilnu prehranu konzumacijom voća i povrća te uzimanja suplemenata. Za potrebe istraživanja je zbog dobivenog nekoherentnog uzorka bilo potrebno izdvojiti osobe u dobi od 40 – 50 te od 50 – 65 godina starosti kako bi se proučili rezultati, budući da su osobe oboljele od hemofilije bili te životne dobi.
Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da ne postoji statistički značajna razlika između ispitanika vezana za konzumaciju voća, povrća te uzimanja dodatka prehrani u obliku suplemenata vitamina i minerala. Statistički značajna razlika dobivena je prilikom analize konzumacije alkoholnih pića i nekih vrsta namirnica. Zdravi ispitanici konzumiraju više žestoka alkoholna pića i vino. Ispitanici oboljeli od hemofilije konzumiraju više pahuljica čokoladne varijante, mliječne deserte te pommes frites kao jedan od oblika pržene hrane.
Zaključak: Iako su postavljene hipoteze u ovom istraživanju odbačene rezultati istraživanja su utvrdili određenu razliku prehrambenih navika između osoba oboljelih od hemofilije i zdrave populacije. Dobivenim rezultatima nije potvrđena značajna razlika u konzumaciji voća, povrća te dodataka prehrani u obliku suplemenata vitamina i minerala ali postoji značajna razlika u konzumaciji određenih namirnica i alkoholnih pića. Zdravi ispitanici su skloniji češćoj konzumaciji vina i žestokih alkoholnih pića, dok osobe oboljele od hemofilije konzumiraju više čokoladne pahuljice, mliječne deserte i pommes frites kao nezdraviju varijantu prehrane. Razlike u prehrani mogu biti rezultat pridržavanja medicinskih preporuka i životne dobi osoba oboljelih od hemofilije. Životna dob zdravih ispitanika može ukazivati samo po sebi na drugačije prehrambene navike. Radom se naglašava važnost prilagodbe prehrambenih navika osoba oboljelih od hemofilije u svrhu poboljšanja njihove kvalitete života i sprječavanju razvoja kroničnih bolesti.Introduction: Haemophilia is a rare blood clotting disorder that leads to excessive bleeding. People with haemophilia do not require a special diet, but adhering to basic principles of healthy eating is important for them. Nutritional status in individuals with haemophilia is crucial for maintaining their health and avoiding excess body weight, which can strain muscles and cause bleeding in sensitive joints. A healthy diet can strengthen bones and joints, help maintain an ideal body weight, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases in people with haemophilia.
Objective of the Study: The study aims to determine the possible existence of particularities in the specific dietary habits of patients with haemophilia compared to the healthy population, based on the collected sample of research participants.
Methods: The study included 30 individuals with haemophilia and 98 healthy individuals from Croatia. An online survey was used, initially containing sociodemographic questions followed by 16 questions regarding consuming various foods, beverages, and vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, due to the obtained incoherent sample, it was necessary to single out participants aged 40-50 and 50-65, since participants suffering from haemophilia were found in those age groups.
Results: The participants suffering from haemophilia who took part in the research belong to the 40 – 50 and 50 – 65 age groups. Furthermore, the research showed that there is no statistically significant difference between the participants regarding the consumption of fruits and vegetables and the intake of dietary supplements in the form of vitamin and mineral supplements. Also, a statistically significant difference was found in the consumption of alcoholic beverages and some types of food. Namely, respondents who do not suffer from haemophilia tend to consume more strong alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverages such as wine, in contrast to respondents suffering from haemophilia. On the other hand, subjects with haemophilia consume more cereal products (even though they consume chocolate varieties), pommes frites and milk desserts compared to subjects who do not suffer from haemophilia. Also, a statistically significant difference was observed in respondents who did not suffer from haemophilia compared to those suffering from haemophilia when it comes to the consumption of fried food in the form of pommes frites.
Conclusion: Although the three hypotheses proposed in this study were rejected, the research still revealed significant differences in dietary habits between haemophiliacs and the healthy population. No significant difference was found in consuming fruits, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals, but there were notable differences in consuming certain foods and alcoholic beverages. Healthy individuals more often eat burgers, peanuts, nuts, sour cream sauces, and Greek yoghurt, and drink wine, beer, and spirits, while haemophiliacs prefer bacon, white bread, and pastries. Additionally, the healthy population frequently consumes fried food from restaurants or orders fried food. These results show that haemophiliacs, although often older and obese, have specific dietary habits that differ from healthy individuals. The dietary differences may be due to their need to avoid additional health issues and follow medical recommendations. The paper highlights the importance of adapting dietary strategies for haemophiliacs to improve their overall health and quality of life
Volunteering in Crisis: Motivation, Experiences and Consequences of Volunteering After the Earthquake
No full textU posljednjih nekoliko godina Hrvatska se suočila s brojnim kriznim situacijama, a posljednja se dogodila u prosincu 2020. godine kada je razoran potres pogodio Sisačko-moslavačku županiju. Velik broj građana iz cijele zemlje pritekao je tada u pomoć unesrećenima. Takav oblik prosocijalnog ponašanja naziva se volontiranjem u krizi, a odnosi se na građansko djelovanje u različitim hitnim situacijama i katastrofama. Volonteri su u ovakvim situacijama najčešće motivirani solidarnošću i suosjećanjem, a njihov angažman je intenzivan i nepredvidiv te uključuje zaštitu ranjivih skupina, saniranje štete te socijalnu i psihološku podršku. Posljedice volontiranja u krizi, iako često pozitivne i za volontere i za lokalnu zajednicu, ponekad mogu biti i negativne, ako se ne vodi računa o fizičkoj i psihičkoj dobrobiti uključenih. Područje kriznog volontiranja slabo je istraženo, a posebno na hrvatskom području. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati motivaciju, iskustva i posljedice volontiranja nakon potresa na Banovini, a sudionici istraživanja bili su volonteri udruga SKAC Palma, SKAC Osijek i SKAC Split. Kvalitativna metodologija uključivala je fokus grupe, a tematskom analizom podataka dobivene su tri teme – Poziv ili prilika: motivacija za volontiranje, Volonterski dnevnik: iskustva volontiranja i Volonterski tragovi: posljedice volontiranja. Sudionici su za volontiranje na Banovini bili motivirani najviše poticajem i primjerom drugih u njihovoj okolini i zbog dostizanja moralnog ispunjenja. Njihovo iskustvo volontiranja bilo je popraćeno ambivalentnim emocijama, a podršku su imali jedni u drugima i u duhovnosti. Sudionici su od pozitivnih posljedica istaknuli osobni rast i stjecanje novih prijateljstava, a od negativnih posljedica izdvojeni su emocionalni teret i nerazumijevanje okoline.In the last few years, Croatia has faced numerous crisis situations, and the last one happened in December 2022, when a devastating earthquake hit the Sisak-Moslavina County. A large number of citizens from all over the country came to help the victims. This form of prosocial behavior is called volunteering at crisis , and it refers to civic engagement in various emergency situations and disasters. In these situations volunteers are most often motivated by solidarity and compassion, their involvement is intense and unpredictable and includes the protection of vulnerable groups, damage repair and social and psychological support. The consequences of volunteering in a crisis, although often positive for both volunteers and the local community, can sometimes be negative, if the physical and psychological well-being of those involved is not taken into account. The field of crisis volunteering is poorly researched, especially in Croatia. Therefore, the goal of this research was to examine the motivation, experiences and consequences of volunteering after the earthquake in Banovina, and the research participants were volunteers from the associations SKAC Palma, SKAC Osijek and SKAC Split. Qualitative methodology included focus groups, and three themes were obtained through the thematic analysis of the dana – Calling or an opportunity: motivation for volunteering, Volunteer diary: experiences of volunteering and Volunteer traces: consequences of volunteering. The participants were mostly motivated to volunteer at Banovina by the encouragement and example from others in their environment and by achieving moral fulfillment. Their experience of volunteering was acompanied by ambivalent emotions, and they had support in each other and in spirituality. The participants emphasized personal growth and the acquisition of new friendships as positive consequences, while emotional burden and lack of understanding from their surroundings were singled out from the negative consequences
Processes of secularization and individualization as causes of the cohabitation among young people
No full textTema diplomskoga rada jest život u izvanbračnoj zajednici (kohabitaciji) i preuzeta je iz preporuka za istraživanje u dokumentu Family Global Contract (2023) vatikanskoga Dikasterija za laike, obitelj i život. U sklopu teorijske podloge detaljnije se proučavaju procesi sekularizacije i individualizacije te njihovi učinci na suvremeni brak i obitelj. Osim spomenutih društvenih procesa, unutar teorijskog okvira, detaljnije se obrađuje institucija braka, sakrament ženidbe, kao i neki alternativni oblici bračne zajednice: kohabitacija, život u komunama odnosno izraelskim kibucima, living apart together te samački život. Opći cilj istraživanja je opisati zašto se mladi odlučuju na život u izvanbračnoj zajednici (kohabitaciji). Specifični ciljevi istraživanja su opisati promišljanja sudionika o instituciji braka i sakramentu ženidbe te opisati nji hova iskustva život a u izvanbračnoj zajednici i potencijalnom sklapanju braka. Istraživanje je provedeno kvalitativnom metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua na uzorku od 9 sudionika muškog i ženskog spola u dobi između 23 i 35 godina. Dobiveni rezultati se tumače iz perspektive procesa sekularizacije i individualizacije. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da navedeni društveni procesi dakako ostavljaju trag na bračnom, izvanbračnom i obiteljskom životu sudionika.The topic of the thesis is life in an extramarital union (cohabitation) and is derived from research recommendations in the document Family Global Contract (2023) by the Vatican Di castery for Laity, Family, and Life. Within the theoretical framework, the processes of secularization and individualization and their effects on contemporary marriage and family are studied in detail. In addition to the mentioned social processes, the the oretical framework also elaborates on the institution of marriage, the sacrament of matrimony, and some alternative forms of marital unions: cohabitation, living in communes or Israeli kibbutzim, living apart together, and single life. The general aim of t he research is to describe why young people choose to live in non marital cohabitation. The specific aims of the research are to describe the participants' reflections on the institution of marriage and the sacrament of matrimony, as well as to describe th eir experiences with living in non marital cohabitation and potentially getting married. The research is conducted using a qualitative method of semi structured interviews with a sample of 9 male and female participants aged between 23 and 35 years. The re search results are interpreted from the perspective of the processes of secularization and individualization. The research results show that these social processes indeed leave an impact on the marital, non marital, and family life of the participants
Image Management in Public Speaking
No full textJavni nastup predstavlja svako javno izlaganje pred publikom, a kojem smo svakodnevno
izloženi u profesionalnom životu. Javni govor sadrži više poželjnih, organiziranih i povezanih
elemenata. Javno bi se izlaganje, dakle, trebalo unaprijed pripremati, a u toj pripremi govornik
bi trebao biti svjestan značenja svih elemenata jer svi oni zajedno utječu na izgradnju imidža.
Publika stječe dojam o govorniku već na samom početku njegova nastupa, a govornik je
odgovoran za kreiranje pozitivnog dojma, kao i za njegovo održavanje tijekom nastupa. Cilj je
ovog rada predstaviti važnost, ali i načine upravljanja imidžom kreiranim javnim nastupom,
kako bi govornik bio vjerodostojan i profesionalan. U radu su analizirani temeljni aspekti javne
komunikacije, poput važnosti kongruencije, to jest usklađenost verbalne, neverbalne i
paraverbalne komunikacije, utjecaj treme ili straha od javnih nastupa na govornika, a
posljedično i na njegov imidž, te metode kontrole treme. Kao potkrjepa određenim teorijskim
tumačenjima u rad su integrirani primjeri javnih nastupa poznatih govornika koji su svojim
nastupima i govorima ostali zapamćeni pozitivnim ili negativnim imidžom. U istraživačkom
dijelu rada provedeni su polustrukturirani intervjui s doc. dr. sc. Nikolinom Borčić i
Veronikom Štefanko, mag. educ. phon. Obje sudionice potvrdile su tvrdnje objašnjene u
teorijskom dijelu ovoga rada.Public performance is any public presentation in front of an audience, which we are exposed
to every day in our professional life. Public speaking contains a number of desirable, organized
and connected elements. Therefore, the public presentation should be prepared in advance,
and in this preparation the speaker should be aware of the meaning of all elements because
they all together influence the building of the image. The audience gets an impression of the
speaker at the very beginning of his performance, and the speaker is responsible for creating
a positive impression, as well as for maintaining it during the performance. The aim of this
work is to present the importance, but also the ways of managing the image created by public
speaking, so that the speaker is credible and professional. The paper analyzes the fundamental
aspects of public communication, such as the importance of congruence, that is the harmony
of verbal, non-verbal and paraverbal communication, the influence of stage fright or fear of
public speaking on the speaker, and consequently on his image, and methods of controlling
stage fright. As support for certain theoretical interpretations, the work includes examples of
public performances by well-known speakers who were remembered with a positive or
negative image through their performances and speeches. In the research part of the work,
semi-structured interviews were conducted with Assoc. Ph. D. Nikolina Borčić and Veronika
Štefanko, mag. educ. phon. Both participants confirmed the statements explained in the
theoretical part of this paper
Gender stereotypes in the animated and feature film Beauty and the Beast through different time periods
No full textRodni stereotipi postoje od samih početaka ljudske civilizacije. Muškarci su išli u lov i brinuli za cijelu obitelj, dok su s druge strane žene ostajale kod kuće, rađale djecu i brinule se o kućanstvu. Takvi su stereotipi duboko ukorijenjeni u društvu, često oblikujući norme, očekivanja, predrasude i percepciju o ženama i muškarcima te njihovim ulogama, kako u privatnom, tako i poslovnom svijetu. Mediji, kao najmoćniji oblik kulturne komunikacije, imaju značajan utjecaj na oblikovanje stereotipa u društvu. Cilj ovog rada je metodom analize sadržaja analizirati prisutnost rodnih stereotipa u filmu Ljepotica i zvijer kroz različita vremenska razdoblja. Istraživanje je potvrdilo da se u filmovima Ljepotica i zvijer pojavljuju tradicionalni rodni stereotipi. Utvrđeno je da postoji više tradicionalnih stereotipa u filmovima iz 1976. i 1991. godine, nego u filmovima iz 2011. i 2017. godine. Također, analiza je prikazala dominaciju muških likova i njihovu veću brojnost, kao što je i potvrdila da su ženski likovi prikazani pasivnije u odnosu na muške likove.Gender stereotypes have existed since the very beginnings of human civilization. Men would go hunting and take care of the entire family, while on the other hand, women stayed at home, gave birth to children, and took care of the household. Such stereotypes are deeply rooted in society, often shaping norms, expectations, prejudices, and perceptions about women and men and their roles, both in private and professional spheres. The media, as the most powerful form of cultural communication, has a significant impact on shaping stereotypes in society. The aim of this research is to analyze the presence of gender stereotypes in the film Beauty and the Beast across different time periods using content analysis methodology. The research confirmed that traditional gender stereotypes appear in Beauty and the Beast films. It was found that there are more traditional stereotypes in the films from 1976 and 1991 than in the films from 2011 and 2017. Furthermore, the analysis showed the dominance of male characters and their greater numbers, as well as confirmed that female characters are depicted as more passive compared to male characters
Neighborhood between virtuality and reality: the impact of the social media networks on the level of community engagement on the case of two Zagreb districts
No full textŽivot u 21. stoljeću najbolje bi se mogao opisati pojmom neprekidne transformacije koja zahvaća sve aspekte ljudskog djelovanja. Prema Giddensu (2003:10) globalizacija, kao revolucionarni proces u ljudskoj povijesti započela je kasnih 1960-ih godina s razvojem informacijsko komunikacijskih tehnologija koje su utjecale na njene političke, tehnološke, kulturne i ekonomske dimenzije. Navedene promjene reflektirale su se i na sami koncept susjedstva koji unatoč promjenama koje je stvorila postmoderna, i dalje ima važnu ulogu u životu pojedinca (Miletić i sur. 2016). Kako navodi Evans (2013) zajednice treba promatrati kao dinamični koncept jer posjeduju kapacitet promjene što se potvrdilo koncem prošlog i početkom ovog stoljeća zajedno sa pojavom novih oblika virtualnih zajednica. Kako je vrijeme odmicalo, sve više autora počinje uočavati kako virtualnim zajednicama nedostaje element interakcije uživo te dolaze do spoznaje da interakcije u virtualnom svijetu nadopunjuju one u fizičkom i vice versa (Cabitza i sur., 2016). Riječ je ovdje o hibridnim zajednicama koje nemaju samo funkciju poticanja interakcija već imaju i neke praktične implikacije (Mosconi i sur., 2017). Ova doktorska disertacija stoga polazi od pretpostavke kako postoji povezanost između virtualnih oblika komunikacije i uključenosti u lokalnoj zajednici. Kako bi se ta pretpostavka adekvatno ispitala, koristi se nacrt istraživanja temeljen na eksplorativno sekvencijalnom kombiniranju kvalitativne i kvantitativne metode prikupljanja podataka. U prvom dijelu istraživanja koristila se analiza sadržaja dviju odabranih Facebook grupa unutar odabranih zagrebačkih četvrti popraćena sa provođenjem polu-strukturiranih intervjua sa administratorima i moderatorima grupa. U drugom dijelu istraživanja koristila se kvantitativna metodologija i metoda online upitnika na uzorku članova dvije odabrane Facebook grupe (N=496). Rezultati pokazuju kako je korištenje Facebook grupe susjedstva u određenoj mjeri povezano sa razinom uključenosti pojedinaca u život lokalne zajednice; ona dimenzija u kojoj se pronašla snažna povezanost u obje grupe odnosi se na participaciju u aktivnostima susjedstva. U obje Facebook grupe susjedstva prepoznao se hibridni oblik uključenosti u zajednicu o kojoj su pisali Mosconi i suradnici (2017). Diskusija u Facebook grupi oko problema, potrebe ili zajedničkog interesa dovodila je do realizacije raznih oblika angažmana u samom fizičkom susjedstvu.Life in the 21st century is marked by a continuous transformation that affects all aspects of human activity. According to Giddens (2003:10), globalization began in the late 1960s as a revolutionary process in human history, with the development of information and communication technologies that influenced its political, technological, cultural, and economic dimensions. In its early stages, the development of these technologies drastically changed the world by connecting physically distant individuals (Giddens, 2003; Zeman and Geiger Zeman, 2010). However, in the 21st century, the Internet has become an integral part of everyday life and is used for various activities, leading to a shift in its function and purpose (Castells, 2001). Despite the changes created by postmodernity, the concept of the neighborhood continues to play a significant role in an individual's life, providing a strong source of identity, security, and community belonging (Miletić et al., 2016). Shaw and Shaw (1999) emphasize the significance of neighborhoods in the socialization process of individuals, as well as in the organization of daily life. In the past, neighborhoods played a crucial role in fostering a strong sense of identity and community belonging among individuals, providing them with a sense of security (Miletić, Krnić, and Majetić, 2016).
This dissertation focuses on the local community, and it was necessary to define the concept of community adequately and examine its history. The dissertation relies on the definition of a place-based community proposed by Mulligan and colleagues (2006). This type of community is related to a specific local territory shared by its members, including urban neighborhoods with clearly defined local territories and boundaries
Media Populism
No full textU ovome diplomskom radu se prikazuje i objašnjava fenomen medijskog populizma. Cilj rada je pridonijeti boljem razumijevanju populizma u medijima, što je ključno za budućnost novinarstva i političkog diskursa u Hrvatskoj. Populizam počiva na monolitnom konceptu „naroda“ i implikaciji da je isključivo „volja naroda“ presudna za sve političke procese u društvu. Dakle, možemo reći da populizam obuhvaća snažan antistranački stav. Kao i pojedini drugi društveno-politički pojmovi, populizam nema konačnu definiciju te može označavati više toga. Stoga smo ga predočili kroz četiri pristupa: 1. specifičan oblik organizacije političkih stranaka, 2. strategija političke mobilizacije, 3. političko-komunikacijski stil i 4. (slaba) politička ideologija. Također, razradili smo negativnu društvenu konotaciju populizma, povijest pojma te njegovu poveznicu s pop kulturom. Zatim smo analizirali medijski populizam, to jest populizam u medijima koji obuhvaća uvide u populističke trendove u suvremenom novinarstvu. On se dijeli na tri istraživačke teme: populizam medija, populizam putem medija i populističko građansko novinarstvo. Pomoću njih možemo vidjeti koliko je isprepleten odnos medija i populizma. Treće, iznijeli smo uvid u medijaciju, medijatizaciju i medijski intervencionizam koji je povezan s medijskim izvještavanjem o politici. Konačno, predočili smo nekoliko istraživanja pojedinih autora o medijskom populizmu u Hrvatskoj te pet tema koje su zasad najzastupljenije u postojećim studijama i raspravama o medijima i populizmu. Na kraju donesen je zaključak u kojem se ističe da je medijski populizam negativan pojam jer njime novinar pokazuje svoje političko opredjeljenje te ne poštuje objektivnost koja je dio novinarske norme i odraz profesionalnosti.In this thesis, the phenomenon of media populism is shown and explained. The work aims to contribute to a better understanding of populism in the media, which is crucial for the future of journalism and political discourse in Croatia. Populism rests on the monolithic concept of "the people" and the implication that only the "will of the people" is decisive for all political processes in society. So, we can say that populism includes a strong anti-party attitude. Like some other socio-political terms, populism does not have a final definition and can mean more than one thing. Therefore, we presented it through four approaches: 1. specific form of organization of political parties, 2. strategy of political mobilization, 3. political-communication style, and 4. (weak) political ideology. Also, we covered the negative social connotation of populism, the history of the term, and its link with pop culture. Then, we analyzed media populism, that is, populism in the media that includes insights into populist trends in contemporary journalism. It is divided into three research topics: media populism, populism through the media, and populist citizen journalism. Threw such topics, we can see how intertwined the relationship between the media and populism is. Third, we presented an insight into mediation, mediatization, and media interventionism that is related to media coverage of politics. Finally, we presented several studies by individual authors about media populism in Croatia and five topics that are currently the most represented in existing studies and discussions about media and populism. In the end, a conclusion was reached in which it is emphasized that media populism is a negative term. Journalists, by using populism in their work, show their political orientation and do not respect objectivity, which is part of the journalistic norm and a reflection of professionalism
