VIDÉK, VALLÁS ÉS POLITIKA PROFESSOR MANDICA MANJA KOVAČEVIĆ RÁDIÓMŰSORAIBAN
No full textDoctor Mandica Manja Kovačević (1929–2011) was a professor at several Croatian teacher training colleges (Čakovec, Kutina, and Gospić) and the author of three books and some 60 papers in various journals. She moderated a weekly ten-minute program for the local radio station in Gospić in the first decade of the 21st century. Thus, more than 300 radio contributions were produced, of which seventy were published in the book “Life on the Highest Wave” (Gospić, 2010). By researching and presenting phonographic recordings not included in the aforementioned book, this paper focused on the topics dealing with the affairs from the Croatian society in the first decade of the 21 century serving as an original sample by means of which Professor Kovačević had presented her personal views and attitudes resulting from life experience and local and traditional expectations. Professor Kovečević’s original reviews have attracted the attention of a large number of listeners because they have been able to find answers to questions that are usually contemplated by a contemporary man torn apart between existential challenges and spiritual search.Mandica Manja Kovačević (1929–2011) több horvátországi tanárképző főiskola professzora volt (Čakovec, Kutina és Gospić), emellett három könyv szerzője, és mintegy 60 tanulmánya jelent meg különböző folyóiratokban. A 21. század első évtizedében moderátora volt egy hetente sugárzott műsornak a gospići helyi rádióban, amelynek következtében, több mint 300 műsort készített, s ezek egy részéből (70 műsor) könyvet jelentetett meg „Life on the Highest Wace” (Gospić, 2010) címmel. A tanulmány célja, hogy górcső alá vonja azokat a hangfelvételeket, amelyek a könyvben nem kerültek feldolgozásra, s kifejezetten azok a témák kerülnek elemzésre, amelyek az évezred elejének horvát társadalmával foglalkoznak. A hangfelvételek elemzése során kiindulópontnak tekintjük Mandica Manja Kovačević által közvetített nézeteket és attitűdöket, ugyanis a professzor asszony szemlélete széles körű figyelmet keltett, hiszen a hallgatók választ kaptak olyan kérdésekre, mint az egzisztenciális és spirituális kutatás szétválasztása

Agents of Global Competition in the International Student Market
No full textThis chapter focuses on the agents of competition and cooperation in global higher education. More specifically, it tackles international student mobility and foregrounds the changing nature of competition between individuals, universities, and countries. It engages with Pavel Zgaga’s seminal work on the role of universities in society, the nature of knowledge, globalisation, and European higher education and its internationalisation efforts. In his work, Zgaga foregrounds three key processes. First, a struggle between competition and cooperation among regions, countries, and institutions. Second, a struggle over various competing aims and approaches to student mobility supporting a variety of cultural, political or economic rationales. Finally, a struggle and power play between various actors. Zgaga analysed these dichotomies at the macro and meso policy level. My analysis complements his work at the micro level by investigating how policy is materialised and enacted at the Association of International Educators (NAFSA) annual conference and expo. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
Developing a tested vision for the design of a child participation toolkit for the SWKGroep
No full textThis report describes my graduation report for the Master Design for Interaction, part of Industrial Design Engineering at the technical University Delft. The project is in collaboration with both the Play Well Lab and the SWKGroep. The SWKGroep asked for a child participation toolkit which would help them discover the latent knowledge of the children. In order to be able to go into depth while designing this toolkit, the project is split up into two individual graduation projects. This report describes the first project.“My design goal is to develop a substantiated and partly tested vision for the development of a child participation Toolkit, which is suitable within the context of the SWKGroep facilities and based on the expectations, wishes, needs and capacity of both the staff members as well as the children.”The first chapter will introduce the different stakeholders involved in the project. These are the SWKGroep and the Play Well Lab. The chapter will conclude with the relevance of this project for both stakeholders. The second chapter will describe the research phase, including different interviews, a generative session and an analysis of the results. The chapter will conclude with the discovered problem area and my design focus within this project. Within the third chapter, an approach for this defined problem area will be defined. The chosen approach will be explained and the chapter concludes with an explanation on why this approach would fit the defined problem area. After describing this approach, the approach will be elaborated into ideas. This is done in chapter 4, which includes the ideation phase. This chapter will end with a set of 23 ideas/tools which could be used for child participation at the BSO. The next step, described in chapter 5, is validation of the approach. This is done by testing a selection of the ideas at the BSO to see what the obstacles and enablers are when doing child participation at the BSO. The insights from the user-tests are discussed and this chapter will conclude with a validation of the approach including conditions to be met and an overview of opportunities which were found during the tests. Chapter 6 will conclude this report with recommendations for the follow-up project and a reflection on this project.Design for Interactio
Stepping in the footsteps of Hajar to bring home the hajj:dialogical positioning in Asra Nomani's memoir 'Standing Alone'
No full textThis paper discusses the hajj memoir Standing Alone (2006) by the journalist Asra Nomani to demonstrate how before, during and after her hajj performance, the author moves back and forth between various moral discourses that inform her daily life in order to make sense of her multiple senses of belonging and to claim more space for women participation and in today’s global and local Umma (community of Muslims). Using ‘Dialogical Self theory’ (DST) (Hermans & Hermans-Konopka) to analyze ‘dialogues’ between the various temporally and spatially situated ‘voices’ that populate Nomani’s hajj memoir, it is argued that what the author experiences as literally ‘stepping in the footsteps of Hajar’, like herself a single mother whose faith in and rescue by God is played out during the Hajj, Nomani finds a strong female Muslim role model to identify with. Thus appropriating Islam as an empowering moral discourse, Nomani takes the extraordinary experience of the hajj back home to her everyday life to become an activist in order to claim Muslim women’s rights as equal citizens in the various communities that she belongs
TEQ TIME: Design an innovative child care tool for children of 10-14 years old
No full textThis report is the result of the graduation project of Joris Menting for SWKGroep. The project concludes the master program Design for Interaction at the Delft University of Technology. SWKGroep asked for an innovative child care tool for children of 10-14 years old. The project description offered the designer much freedom. The initial design goal was formulated as follows: “Design a location and time independent form of after school day care for children (10-14 years old) that relieves parents, where children experience both affection and freedom and that adds value for SWKGroep.” The project is divided in three chapters: Orientation/Research, Ideation/Iteration and Evaluation/Demonstration. See Figure 1 for the overview of this project. The first chapter of the project, Orientation/Research, describes the internal and external analysis that gave more insight in the context of after school day care and the rules and regulations by the Dutch government. Interviews with parents and generative research sessions with children gave insights in the latent needs and desires of the users of the product. With the insights of the first chapter the design goal was further specified as follows: “Design a location and time independent form of after school day care for children (10-14 years old) where: children experience affection, freedom and guidance, while it relieves parents during work without losing control, that fits the business operations of SWKGroep and adds value.” In the second chapter, Ideation/Iteration, ideas to reach the design goals where generated. To guide this process two interaction visions are developed. They formed the inspiration for new ideas and used to test whether ideas where still on track of solving the design goal. Two initial design concepts where developed and assessed during a co-creation session with employees of different layers within the organisation of SWKGroep. Together with the analysis of an weighted objectives method the decision is made to develop a chosen concept that uses the strengths of both initial concepts: TEQ TIME Coach. In the last chapter: Evaluation/Demonstration the chosen concept is tested and evaluated with parents and potential coaches. These user tests gave the insights which made it possible to develop the chosen concept into a final design. This design is presented in paragraph 3.2 at page 90. This project can be seen as the first part, research and ideation, of developing an innovative child care tool for children of 10-14 years old. The second part, implementation, will be a project for the future. This project ends with a implementation plan for this second phase.Design for Interactio

Eine explorative Studie der Konversion zum "reflexiven Islam" und der Alternation zu einer jugendkulturellen Ausprägung des Salafismus.
No full textKonversionen zum Islam erregen Neugier, Faszination, und auch Angst – gerade seit den Terroranschlägen des 11. Septembers 2001 und den darauffolgenden islamistischen Anschlägen auch in Europa. Das Phänomen wirft besonders in diesem Kontext Fragen zu Motivation zur Konversion, dem Bezug der Konvertiten zu ihrem zum Herkunftskontext und zur sozialwissenschaftlichen und sicherheitspolitischen Bewertung des Phänomens auf.
Um Antworten auf diese Fragen näher zu kommen, hat die Autorin zwischen 2009 und 2011 insgesamt 27 Konvertiten zum Islam in Deutschland, England und Frankreich interviewt und ihre Einstellungen, Identitätsausdeutungen und Relevanzen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse ihrer Auswertung setzt sie mit einer Betrachtung des Phänomens des jugendkulturellen Salafismus in Bezug und entwickelt auf dieser Basis zwei grundlegend unterschiedliche Kategorien des Wechsels zum Islam: Die „Konversion zum reflexiven Islam“ und die „Alternation zu einer jugendkulturellen Ausprägung des Salafismus“.Conversions to Islam evoke curiosity, fascination, and also fear – especially since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and Islamist terrorist attacks that followed also in Europe. The phenomenon raises questions regarding the motifs for conversion, the relation of converts to their society of origin, and the sociological assessment as well as security policy aspects of the phenomenon.
In order to come closer to answers to these questions, the author interviewed 27 converts to Islam in Germany, England and France, and analysed their attitudes, identity reconstruction and relevances. She compared the results with a reflection on the phenomenon of a youth-cultural phenomenon of Salafism and developed two fundamentally different categories of people choosing Islam as their religion: “conversion to reflexive Islam” and “alternation to a youth-cultural interpretation of Salafism”
impersonality in nature poetry by emily dickinson and maja vidmar
No full textDiplomsko delo se ukvarja z raziskovanjem impersonalnega načina izrekanja v izbrani poeziji narave Emily Dickinson in Maje Vidmar, pri čemer impersonalnost definira kot izstop iz pesniške lege izpovedovanja avtorjevih lastnih čustev. Izhaja iz določitve načinov impersonalnosti, ki jih v svojih pesmih o naravi uporabita avtorici (pesem podoba, pesem vložnica in pesem alegorija), te pa povezuje z naratološko analizo lirike, ki poleg natančne sistematizacije sestavnih delov pesemske pripovedi s svojo osnovno koncepcijo ločevanja med dimenzijama zaporednosti in posredovanja sploh omogoča povezavo med načinom izrekanja in pesemsko tematizacijo odnosa do narave.The present thesis explores impersonality in selected nature poetry by Emily Dickinson and Maja Vidmar, defining impersonality as an exit from the poetic attitude of expressing the author\u27s own emotions. It is based on the determination of depersonalization approaches that are used by the aforementioned authors in their poems about nature (object poem, self-insertion poem and allegorical poem). In the following, these approaches are connected to the narratological analysis of lyric poetry, which, in addition to the precise systematization of the components of the lyrical narrative, with its basic concept of separating the dimensions of sequentiality and mediacy, enables a connection between the manner of expression and the lyric thematization of the attitude towards nature
