EFFECTS OF SHOCK-WAVE THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS-SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
No full textPlantarni fasciitis najčešći je uzrok bolova u peti. Bolnost nastaje kod akumuliranog oštećenja plantarne fascije i njezinog pripoja na petnu kost. Plantarni fasciitis česta je pojava kod sportaša i to najviše kod trkača na duge pruge, a može se jednako tako pojaviti i kod tenisača, košarkaša te plesača. Bol se razvija postupno, a može se javiti i iznenada te vrlo jako. Prevencija se svrstava u dio fizioterapije te je povezana sa liječenjem i rehabilitacijom. Cilj rehabilitacije je što raniji povratak sportskoj aktivnosti uz što manji izostanak s treninga i natjecanja. Jedna od terapijskih metoda jest terapija udarnim valom, koja predstavlja neinvazivan tretman čiji se mehanizam djelovanja bazira na akustičnim impulsima generiranim izvan tijela. Tijekom terapije udarnim valom zvučni val visokog intenziteta djeluje na tjelesna tkiva. Cilj rada bio je napraviti sustavni pregled o liječenju plantarnog fascitisa kroz utjecaj udarnog vala u usporedbi s različitim metodama fizikalne terapije na samu dijagnozu. Pretraživani su radovi na portalima Pubmed, Science Direct te Google Znalac, koristeći ključne riječi: bolnost, udarni val, plantarna fascija, prevencija, sport, liječenje. Pronađeno je 20 istraživanja koja su udovoljila pretragama. Na temelju dokaza može se zaključiti da terapija udarnim valom ima pozitivan učinak u liječenju plantarnog fascitisa i to u smislu smanjenja boli, povećanja funkcije stopala, poboljšanja aktivnosti svakodnevnog života, no nije i najbolja metoda u liječenju istog, stoga je potrebno provesti daljnja istraživanja.Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. Pain occurs with accumulated damage to the plantar fascia and its attachment to the heel bone. Plantar fasciitis is a common occurrence in athletes, especially in long-distance runners, and can also occur in tennis players, basketball players and dancers. The pain develops gradually, and can occur suddenly and very strongly. Prevention is part of physiotherapy and is associated with treatment and rehabilitation. The goal of rehabilitation is to return to sports activities as early as possible with the least possible absence of training and competition. One of the therapeutic methods is shock wave therapy, which is a non-invasive treatment whose mechanism of action is based on acoustic impulses generated outside the body. During shock wave therapy, a high-intensity sound wave acts on body tissues. The aim of the study was to make a systematic review of the work on the treatment of plantar fasciitis through the impact of the shock wave compared to different methods of physical therapy on the diagnosis itself. Papers on the portals Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar were searched, using the key words: pain, shock wave, plantar fascia, prevention, sports, treatment. 20 surveys were found that met the searches. Based on the evidence, it can be concluded that shock wave therapy has a positive effect in the treatment of plantar fasciitis in terms of reducing pain, increasing foot function, improving daily life activities, but it is not the best method of treating it, so further research is needed
REHABILITATION AFTER DISTAL MUSCULUS BICEPS BRACHII TENDON RUPTURE
No full textRuptura distalne tetive musculusa biceps brachii s incidencijom od 5,4-100000 ozljeda spada pod rijetke ozljede. Ova ozljeda najčešće nastaje prilikom velikog opterećenja na ekstendirani lakat pri spuštanju tereta. Postoji više testova koji se koriste u dijagnostici ove ozljede, a najboljima se pokazala kombinacija više testova. Kada se dijagnosticira ruptura, počinje se s rehabilitacijom koja se može raditi na dva načina – konzervativno ili kirurški. S obzirom na trenutna saznanja, konzervativni pristup se savjetuje isključivo starijim osobama, osobama koje se ne bave težim fizičkim poslovima te osobama koje nisu spremne za operaciju. Za većinu ruptura je potrebno napraviti kirurški zahvat i tek onda krenuti s rehabilitacijom. Rehabilitacija se radi u 4 faze, a kako ne bi došlo do ponovnog nastanka ozljede, bitno je svaku fazu dovoljno kvalitetno odraditi bez preranog prelaska u iduću. Kod dobro odrađene rehabilitacije, šansa za ponovnom ozljedom se značajno smanjuje te iznosi otprilike 1%.Rupture of the distal biceps brachii tendon with an incidence of 5.4-100,000 injuries is a rare injury. This injury most often occurs when there is a heavy load on the extended elbow when lowering a load. There are several tests that are used in the diagnosis of this injury, and a combination of several tests has proven to be the best. When a rupture is diagnosed, rehabilitation begins, which can be done in two ways - conservatively or surgically. Considering the current knowledge, a conservative approach is advised only for elderly people, people who do not engage in heavy physical work and people who are not ready for surgery. In most cases it is necessary to perform an operation and then begin rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is done in 4 phases, and in order to prevent the injury from reoccurring, it is important to perform each phase sufficiently well without prematurely moving on to the next one. With well-done rehabilitation, the chance of re-injury is significantly reduced and amounts to approximately 1%
RELATIONSHIP OF EATING HABITS WITH THE BODY MASS INDEKS OF CONTEMPORARY DANCE DANCERS
No full textPrehrana utječe na sastav tijela i tjelesnu masu, koja je povezana sa sportskim izvedbama. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitivanje prehrambenih navika plesača u Republici Hrvatskoj i povezanost sa nivoom uhranjenosti mjerenim preko indeksa tjelesne mase. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 34 ispitanika prosječne starosti 35 godina. Prosječna duljina bavljenja plesom je 25 godina. Putem online upitnika dobivene su informacije o prehrambenim navikama ispitanika, kao i osnovne informacije o spolu, dobi, duljini bavljenja plesom, intenziteta treniranja, tjelesnoj masi i visini iz kojih je izračunat indeks tjelesne mase. Rezultati pokazuju da je većina ispitanika u području normalne tjelesne mase, te nema pojave masovne neuhranjenosti, kako je uobičajeno u estetskim sportovima. Prehrana je uglavnom raznolika, bez izbjegavanja bilo koje grupe nutrijenata. Razlike nađene među BMI vrijednostima kod ispitanika raspoređenih prema konzumaciji određenih namirnica govore o mogućim utjecajima pojedinih vrsta namirnica na energetski balans u tijelu, te na mogućnosti regulacije tjelesne mase kroz promjene u prehrani. S obzirom na sve rezultate može se zaključiti da ispitanici uglavnom poznaju glavna načela zdrave prehrane i da ispitanici paze da se hrane zdravo, kako bi mogli izdržati sve izazove i zahtjeve koje pred njih stavlja bavljenje estetskim sportom kao što je ples.Nutrition affects body composition and body mass, which is related to sports performance. The aim of this research was to examine the eating habits of dancers in the Republic of Croatia and the relationship with the level of nutrition measured through the body mass index. 34 subjects with an average age of 35 participated in the research. The average length of dancing is 25 years. Through an online questionnaire, information was obtained about the subjects' eating habits, as well as basic information about gender, age, length of dance practice, training intensity, body mass and height, from which the body mass index was calculated. The results show that the majority of respondents are in the range of normal body mass, and there is no occurrence of mass malnutrition, as is common in aesthetic sports. The diet is mostly varied, without avoiding any group of nutrients. The differences found among the BMI values of the subjects distributed according to the consumption of certain foods speak about the possible influence of certain types of food on the energy balance in the body, and on the possibility of regulating body weight through changes in diet. Considering all the results, it can be concluded that the respondents mostly know the main principles of a healthy diet and that the respondents are careful to eat healthy, so that they can withstand all the challenges and demands that are put before them by practicing an aesthetic sport such as dance
APPLICATION OF PLYOMETRICS FOR THE PURPOSE OF INJURY PREVENTION IN TOP VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS
No full textU radu je prikazan utjecaj pliometrije na prevenciju ozljeda u odbojci. Odbojka je vrlo dinamičan sport koji se u fazi igre sastoji od velikog broja naglih pokreta i doskoka koji lako mogu rezultirati ozljedom. Na odbojkaškom terenu različite skupine igrača ozljeđuju se različitom učestalošću. Najčešće se ozljeđuju obrambeni igrači, a najčešće ozljede su ozljede gležnjeva, ramena i koljena. Pliometrijskim treningom koji se sastoji od tri faze mogu se povećati stabilnost zglobova i poboljšati kvaliteta izvedbe. Ukoliko pliometrijski trening traje dulje od 8 tjedana rezultati su posebno vidljivi. To su dokazale brojne studije na brojnim skupinama koje su promatrane. U istraživanjima su nešto slabije zastupljene skupine starijih odbojkaša.The paper shows the impact of plyometrics on the prevention of injuries in volleyball. Volleyball is a very dynamic sport, which in the game phase consists of a large number of sudden movements and landings that can easily result in injury. On the volleyball court, different groups of players get injured with different frequency. Defensive players are most often injured, and the most common injuries are ankle, shoulder and knee injuries. Plyometric training consisting of three phases can increase joint stability and improve the quality of performance. If plyometric training lasts longer than 8 weeks, the results are particularly visible. This has been proven by numerous studies on numerous groups that have been observed. Groups of older volleyball players are slightly less represented in the research
REHABILITATION AFTER ANKLE INJURY
No full textGležanjski je zglob sačinjen od gornjeg i donjeg gležanjskog zgloba. Ozljede gležnja vrlo su zastupljene u suvremenoj kliničkoj praksi, a mogu se pojaviti u profesionalnih sportaša, rekreativnih sportaša ili u općoj populaciji. Cilj liječenja ozljeda gležnja je osigurati povratak zdravstvenog stanja u kojem je pacijent bio prije ozljede te unaprijediti to stanje. Ozljede gležnja najčešće se odnose na neadekvatnu plantarnu fleksiju, everziju stopala kada sportaš umjesto lopte pogodi tlo, inverzije stopala kada se stopalo loše postavi na podlogu, kada obuća prokliže po podlozi, kada osoba nagazi na neki predmet, prilikom nepravilnih doskoka i iskoraka i sl. Prvi stupanj ozljede gležnja je istegnuće ligamenata bez vidljivog puknuća te s minimalnim ili izostavljenim edemom i bolovima. Drugi stupanj ozljede gležnja je umjereno teško uganuće gležanjskog zgloba praćeno bolovima, edemom, zglobnom ukočenošću i parcijalnom rupturom ligamenata. Treći je stupanj ozljede gležnja najteži oblik gležanjskog uganuća, praćen izrazito jakom boli, velikim edemom, ukočenošću gležnja i labavosti gležnja zbog totalne rupture ligamenata i zglobne čahure. Rehabilitacija nakon ozljede gležnja provodi se po fazama i ovisi o stupnju ozljede gležnja te individualnim karakteristikama, potrebama, interesima i cjelokupnom zdravstvenom statusu bolesnika. Terapijske se vježbe moraju provoditi na oba ekstremiteta, od jednostavnijih prema kompleksnim vježbama te se bolesniku mora pružiti individualan, holistički, timski i multidisciplinaran pristup.The ankle joint is made up of the upper and lower ankle joint. Ankle injuries are very common in modern clinical practice, and can occur in professional athletes, recreational athletes or in the general population. The goal of treating ankle injuries is to ensure the return of the patient's state of health before the injury and to improve that state. Ankle injuries are most often related to inadequate plantar flexion, eversion of the foot when the athlete hits the ground instead of the ball, inversions of the foot when the foot is poorly placed on the ground, when shoes slip on the ground, when a person steps on an object, during improper landings and lunges, etc. The first degree of ankle injury is the stretching of the ligaments without visible rupture and with minimal or absent edema and pain. The second degree of ankle injury is a moderately severe sprain of the ankle joint accompanied by pain, edema, joint stiffness and partial ligament rupture. The third degree of ankle injury is the most severe form of ankle sprain, accompanied by extremely severe pain, severe edema, ankle stiffness and ankle laxity due to total rupture of the ligaments and joint capsule. Rehabilitation after an ankle injury is carried out in stages and depends on the degree of ankle injury and the individual characteristics, needs, interests and overall health status of the patient. Therapeutic exercises must be performed on both extremities, from simple to complex exercises, and the patient must be provided with an individual, holistic, team and multidisciplinary approach
ELECTIONS OF THE EXECUTIVE BODY OF SELF-GOVERNMENT UNITS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF TOVARNIK
No full textKada je sredinom 19. stoljeća započela preobrazba feudalnog društva u suvremeno građansko društvo, započeo je i razvoj izbornog zakonodavstva na području Republike Hrvatske. Godine 1910. donesen je prvi izborni zakon koji je uređivao izborni postupak, a ondašnje biračko pravo djelilo se na aktivno i na pasivno. Aktivno biračko pravo imali su muškarci s navršene 24 godine koji su plaćali porez, a pasivno biračko pravo imali su muškarci s navršenih 30 godina koji su znali čitati i pisati. Tek nakon Drugog svjetskog rata Hrvatska je priznala biračko pravo i muškarcima i ženama s navršenih 18 godina života. Danas hrvatski državljani s navršenih 18 godina života stječu opće i jednako biračko pravo na parlamentarnim, predsjedničkim i lokalnim izborima te u postupku odlučivanja na državnom referendumu, ali i na izborima za Europski parlament. Od proglašavanja neovisnosti Republike Hrvatske i provedbe prvih višestranačkih izbora izmijenjeni su brojni zakoni i drugi akti koji se odnose na izborni postupak, a Hrvatska ostaje jedna od rijetkih europskih zemalja koja je prilikom provođenja izbora primijenila dva osnovna tipa izbornih sustava i njihovu kombinaciju. Upravo zbog čestih reformi unutar izbornog sustava, te neusklađenosti i manjkavosti na području izbornog zakonodavstva javila se potreba za izradom jedinstvenog propisa koji će unificirati područje lokalnih izbora, stoga se od 2013. godine lokalni izbori provode na temelju odredbi aktualnog Zakona o lokalnim izborima. Prema članku 88. ovoga Zakona izvršna tijela jedinica biraju se većinskim izbornim sustavom u pojedinoj izbornoj jedinici. Ukoliko osoba obnaša neku od pozicija koje Zakon svrstava u nespojivu dužnost, a nastoji prihvatiti izvršnu poziciju koju je dobila po proglašenju rezultata lokalnih izbora, dužna je u roku od 8 dana podnijeti ostavku s takve dužnosti. Općinski naĉelnik, gradonačelnik i župan te njihovi zamjenici biraju se većinom glasova svih birača koji su glasovali, što znači da će izabran biti kandidat koji na izborima ostvario više od 50% glasova birača u prvome krugu. Ako niti jedan kandidat ne dobije potrebnu većinu glasova u prvom krugu, drugome krugu pristupaju dva kandidata s najvećim brojem glasova. Mandat općinskih načelnika, gradonačelnika i župana te njihovih zamjenika prestaje istekom mandata ili po sili zakona, a može prestati i prije isteka mandata sukladno odredbama zakona.When the transformation of feudal society into a modern civil society began in the middle of the 19th century, the development of electoral legislation in the territory of the Republic of Croatia also began. In 1910, the first election law regulating the election procedure was passed, and the right to vote at that time was divided into active and passive. Men over the age of 24 who paid taxes had the active right to vote, and men over the age of 30 who could read and write had the passive right to vote. Only after the Second World War did Croatia recognize the right to vote for both men and women over the age of 18. Today, Croatian citizens from the age of 18 acquire the general and equal right to vote in parliamentary, presidential and local elections, as well as in the decision-making process in the national referendum, as well as in the elections for the European Parliament. Since the declaration of Croatia's independence and the holding of the first multi-party elections, numerous laws and other acts related to the electoral procedure have been amended, and Croatia remains one of the few European countries that applied two basic types of electoral systems and their combination when conducting elections. Precisely because of frequent reforms within the electoral system, as well as inconsistencies and shortcomings in the field of electoral legislation, there was a need to develop a single regulation that will unify the area of local elections, therefore, since 2013, local elections have been conducted based on the provisions of the current Act on Local Elections. According to Article 88 of this Act, the executive bodies of the units are elected by the majority electoral system in each electoral unit. If a person holds one of the positions that the Law classifies as an incompatible duty, and tries to accept the executive position he received after the announcement of the results of the local elections, he must resign from such position within 8 days. The head of the municipality, the mayor and the prefect and their deputies are elected by the majority of votes of all the voters who voted, which means that the candidate who won more than 50% of the votes in the first round will be elected. If no candidate receives the required majority of votes in the first round, the two candidates with the highest number of votes go to the second round. The mandate of municipal heads, mayors and prefects and their deputies ends with the expiration of the mandate or by force of law, and may end before the expiration of the mandate in accordance with the provisions of the law
PHYSIOTHERAPY INTERVENTIONS IN PATIENTS WITH FROZEN SHOULDER
No full textSindrom smrznutog ramena je bolno stanje koje značajno narušava kvalitetu života, budući su pacijenti ograničeni u obavljanju većine aktivnosti svakodnevnog života. Češće pogađa žensku populaciju i radno aktivne osobe. Dva glavna simptoma su bol i ograničenje pokreta, koji će simptomi dominirati ovisi od faze u kojoj se pacijent nalazi. Postoje tri faze: smrzavanja, smrznuta i odmrzavanja, koje ne moraju jednako trajati kod svih pacijenata. Dijagnoza se uspostavlja na osnovu kliničkog pregleda, uzimanja anamneze, provođenjem testova, te isključivanjem drugih stanja. Započinje se s konzervativnim liječenjem pod koje spadaju i različiti oblici fizioterapije, poput elektroterapije, termoterapijskih procedura, vježbanja, manualne tehnike, itd. Konzervativno liječenje je u većini slučajeva uspješno, ukoliko ne dođe do poboljšanja nakon 6 mjeseci terapije preporučuje se operativno liječenje.Frozen shoulder syndrome is painfull state that disables and deteriorates quality of life. Patients are limited in doing most activities on a daily basis. More often it affects female population, rather than male, and active working people. Two main symptoms are pain and limited range of motion. Which of two main symptoms will dominate, depends of the phase of the injury. There are three phases: freezing, frozen and defrosting phase. They don't need to last the same amount on all of the pacients. Diagnosis is based upon clinical review, history taking, conducting tests and switching off other injuries. Treatment starts with conservative treatment with different kinds of physiotherapy, like electrotherapy, thermal procedures, exercise, manual therapy etc. Conservative treatment in most cases is succesfull, unless it doesn't come to improvement after 6 months of therapy, then it's recomended to treat with operation
THE ROLE OF SELF-GOVERNMENT UNITS IN ENCOURAGING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF NIJEMCI
No full textJedna od bitnih zadaća svake suvremene demokratske države predstavlja stvaranje preduvjeta za razvoj poduzetništva te utvrđivanje zakonskog okvira kojim će se poticati, usmjeravati i jačati poduzetnički potencijal unutar nacionalnog gospodarstva. Zakonodavni okvir koji predstavlja temelj za jačanje poduzetničke aktivnosti u Republici Hrvatskoj čine Zakon o poticanju razvoja malog gospodarstva i Zakon o unapređenju poduzetničke infrastrukture. Kako bi osigurale što kvalitetniji razvoj poduzetništva na svome području, jedinice lokalne samouprave moraju stvarati poticajne poduzetničke klime i vršiti ulogu partnera u odnosu na poduzetnike. Ukoliko se javnim ustanovama i službama te javnim trgovačkim društvima upravlja na kvalitetan i transparentan način, unutar lokalne zajednice će se stvoriti profesionalno, stručno i pouzdano okruženje koje bi poduzetnicima moglo dati dodatan poticaj. Strategija razvoja Općine Nijemci od 2015. do 2020. godine glavni je alat kojim jedinica lokalne samouprave detaljno razrađuje strateške ciljeve u smislu poticanja gopodarskog razvoja. Na temelju Strategije Općinsko vijeće donijelo je Program poticanja razvoja gospodarstva općine Nijemci za razdoblje 2019. – 2020. godine. Navedeni Program prioritetnim označava pokretanje malog i srednjeg poduzetništva te poticanje poduzetničke inicijative. Kao lokalna jedinica, Općina Nijemci svoju ulogu poticanja poduzetništva u proteklih je nekoliko godina ostvarila jačanjem poduzetničke inicijative i promicanjem poduzetništva, educiranjem lokalnih poduzetnika i informiranjem o mogućem financiranju i proširenju poslovanja, sufinanciranjem troškova obveznih doprinosa novim i postojećim gospodarskim subjektima, sufinanciranjem nabave opreme poduzetnicima koji se namjeravaju obavljati zdravstvenu djelatnost, te izgradnjom triju poslovnih zona i planom izgradnje Auto parka „Lipovac“, čime se na područje Općine želi privući nove poduzetnike i investitore.One of the essential tasks of every modern democratic state is to create the preconditions for the development of entrepreneurship and to establish a legal framework that will encourage, direct and strengthen entrepreneurial potential within the national economy. The legislative framework that represents the basis for strengthening entrepreneurial activity in the Republic of Croatia consists of the Act on Encouraging the Development of Small Business and the Act on the Improvement of Entrepreneurial Infrastructure. In order to ensure the best possible development of entrepreneurship in their area, local governments must create a stimulating entrepreneurial climate and play the role of partners in relation to entrepreneurs. If public institutions and services and public companies are managed in a quality and transparent manner, a professional, professional and reliable environment will be created within the local community that could give entrepreneurs an additional incentive. The development strategy of the Municipality of Nijemci from 2015 to 2020 is the main tool by which the local self-government unit elaborates in detail the strategic goals in terms of encouraging economic development. Based on the Strategy, the Municipal Council adopted the Program for Stimulating the Development of the Economy of the Municipality of Nijemci for the Period 2019-2020. The above-mentioned Program prioritizes the start-up of small and mediumsized enterprises and the encouragement of entrepreneurial initiative. As a local unit, the Municipality of Nijemci has achieved its role of encouraging entrepreneurship in the past few years by strengthening entrepreneurial initiative and promoting entrepreneurship, educating local entrepreneurs and informing about possible financing and business expansion, co-financing the costs of mandatory contributions to new and existing businesses. intend to perform health care activities, and the construction of three business zones and the construction plan of the Auto Park "Lipovac", which aims to attract new entrepreneurs and investors to the Municipality
PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISING THE RIGHT TO ASYLUM, AND THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR TOWARDS ASYLUM SEEKERS
No full textAko se stranac nađe u Hrvatskoj i želi podnijeti zahtjev za međunarodnu zaštitu (status izbjeglice ili supsidijarnu zaštitu), treba biti upoznat s pravnim procesom ostvarivanja prava na azil. U ovom završnom radu objašnjena je definicija azila i izbjeglice, kao i prava i obveze tražitelja azila prema državi u kojoj se nalaze i različiti statusi azilanata, stranaca pod supsidijarnom zaštitom i stranaca pod privremenom zaštitom. Rad je fokusiran na sam postupak ostvarivanja prava na azil, od podnošenja zahtjeva, do odlučivanja o zahtjevu kroz redovni ili posebni postupak. Redovni postupak za azil se provodi ukoliko je stranac podnio zahtjev za azil, prihvatio surađivati s policijom, iznio činjenice o napuštanju zemlje podrijetla, te dao osobne dokumente ili isprave kako bi se utvrdila istinitost njegove priče. Do posebnog postupka dolazi ukoliko stranac ne ispuni zahtjeve potrebne za redovni postupak. Najčešće je riječ o povratku u zemlju podrijetla. Statistički gledano, Hrvatska godišnje ne primi puno izbjeglica, ali svakako sudjeluje u poboljšanju prihvata i pomaganju azilanata u integraciji u naše društvo.If a foreigner finds himself in Croatia and wants to submit a request for international protection (refugee status or subsidiary protection), he should be familiar with the legal process for realization the right to asylum. In this paper, the definition of asylum and refugee is explained, as well as the rights and obligations of asylum seekers in relation to the country in which they find themselves and different statuses of asylum seekers, foreigners under subsidiary protection and foreigners under temporary protection. The work is focused on the process of realization the right to asylum, from the submission of the application to the decision on the application through the regular or special procedure. The regular procedure for asylum is carried out if the foreigner submitted an application for asylum, agreed to cooperate with the police, stated the facts about leaving the country of origin, and provided personal documents in order to establish the truth of his story. A special procedure occurs if the foreigner does not fulfill the requirements necessary for the regular procedure. Most often, it is about returning to the country of origin. Statistically speaking, Croatia does not receive many refugees annually, but certainly participates in improving acceptance and helping asylum seekers integrate into our society
SOCIAL NETWORKS DURING THE COV-SARS 2 PANDEMIC
No full textInternet, kao novi medij, zasigurno ima najveću ulogu prijenosa informacija danas u globalnom smislu. Osim raznim mogućnosti koje internet nudi, posebno se ističu društvene mreže, njihov cilj, te prednosti i nedostaci korištenja istih. U radu su istaknuti nedostaci i prednosti korištenja društvenih mreža, točnije interneta, gdje se posebno u sklopu teme rada ističe širenje dezinformacija i stvaranje panike među društvom. Značaj društvenih mreža raste munjevito početkom širenja virusa COVID-19 koji sa sobom nosi značajan broj informacija koje nisu statične te se iz dana u dan mijenjaju. Samim time, praćenje i upijanje informacija o kretanju virusa zahtijeva pozornost i svakodnevno provjeravanje informacija koje su u ovom slučaju najčešće gledane upravo preko društvenih mreža. U kontekstu društvenih mreža, među mladima se posebno ističe Instagram, vizualni tip komunikacije među korisnicima. Unatoč velikom broju korisnika, Instagram ostaje neiskorišten alat u približavanju političkih aktera mlađoj populaciji.The Internet, as a new medium, certainly plays the biggest role of information transmission today in a global sense. In addition to the various possibilities that the Internet offers, social networks, their goal, and the advantages and disadvantages of using them stand out in particular. The paper highlights the disadvantages and advantages of using social networks, namely the Internet, where the spread of disinformation and the creation of panic between society is emphasized in particular as part of the topic of work. The importance of social networks is growing rapidly with the beginning of the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which carries with it a significant number of information that is not static and changes by the day. Therefore, monitoring and absorbing information about the movement of the virus requires attention and daily verification of information that in this case is most often viewed precisely through social networks. In the context of social networks, Instagram, a visual type of communication between users, stands out among young people
