Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Financijska integracija i financijska kriza: Hrvatska na putu prema ekonomskoj i monetarnoj uniji
No full textEkonomska tranzicija u Istočnoj Europi znatno je povećala izglede za gospodarski rast i otvorila nove razvojne mogućnosti u cijeloj Europi. Ohrabren time, EU je krenuo u proces potpunijeg integriranja, čija su se osnovna obilježja ekonomska liberalizacija i monetarna integracija podudarila s globalnim tendencijama rastućih trgovinskih tijekova i prekograničnog kretanja kapitala. Kao zemlja koja zaostaje u procesu ekonomskog integriranja, Hrvatska se nalazi u vrlo teškoj poziciji osim rastućega trgovinskog deficita, ona se suočava s visokim vanjskim dugom i izrazitom ovisnošću o eksternim izvorima financiranja. Polazeći od teorijskih i empirijskih spoznaja o uvjetima monetarnog integriranja, te uzimajući u obzir ostvarenu razinu međunarodne financijske integriranosti i eksterne ranjivosti zemlje, cilj je rada utvrditi ispunjava li Hrvatska kriterije za uspješno monetarno integriranje
POPULIZAM I KRIZA DEMOKRACIJE
No full textU ovom radu cilj nam je u osnovnim crtama razmotriti fenomen populizma. Pritom polazimo od stajališta kako je jačanje populističkih stranaka i pokreta, te uopće radikalizaciju europskog političkog prostora potrebno sagledati u perspektivi krize demokracije i krize ekonomskog modela u Europi. Kriza demokracije prije svega je
kriza reprezentacije (Mou$ e, 2013.) i simptom stanja u kojem se mogućnosti utjecaja glasača na politički konsenzus elita smanjuju (npr. Crouch, 2007.). Populistički akteri obećavaju vratiti “ukradenu” demokraciju “narodu”, a osim značajnim razinama biračke
podrške populistima, svjedočimo i sve češćem korištenju populističkih strategija kod mnogih mainstream političkih aktera.
Populizam može ozbiljno narušavati demokratski proces i zaštitu ljudskih prava, ali i razotkriti mogućnosti za oporavak demokracije. Ne zaboravljajući na opasnosti koje populistički projekti u većoj ili manjoj mjeri nose, smatramo da ih je potrebno sagledati ne isključivo kao “opasnu smetnju” već prije svega kao ozbiljan simptom krize demokracije. Naime, populizam upućuje na slabosti modernih demokracija te na političke vrijednosti, želje i afekte građana koji ostaju bez predstavništva u političkoj areni. Populistički akteri svojom radikalizacijom politike mogu otvoriti pute k reduciranju
ekonomskih nejednakosti i uključivanju većeg broja građana kao kritičkih aktera u političku sferu, kao i djelovati prema isključivanju, širenju netolerancije i daljnjem udaljavanju populacija od demokratskih načela
ELEKTRONIČKA TRGOVINA I ZAŠTITA POTROŠAČA U EUROPSKOJ UNIJI : Završni rad
No full textInternet i e-trgovina transformiraju način na koji se tvrtke prikazuju kupcima. Internetski se počinje obavljati ogroman dio samog poslovanja, od dizajna i razvoja proizvoda, do marketinga i ponude gotovog proizvoda kupcima. Time se postiže poboljšanje učinkovitosti, bolje iskorištavanje imovine, brže vrijeme izlaska na tržište, smanjenje ukupnog vremena izvršenja narudžbe i poboljšana korisnička usluga. Iako internetsko poslovanje ima velik broj prednosti, još je uvijek nedostatno reguliran, neupravljan i nekontroliran, tako da on ima mnogo širok spektar rizika i prijetnji. Rizik se može definirati kao narušavanje sigurnosti u kojem bi moglo doći do gubitka ili krađe nekih podataka ili imovine koja sadrži tajne podatke. Glavni rizici povezani s e-trgovinom tiču uljeza, hakera, virusa i krađe brojeva kreditnih kartica koji prolaze telekomunikacijskim kanalima. Računalna prijevara jedan je od najčešćih oblika računalnog kriminaliteta. Njih je moguće je podijeliti na izravnu računalnu prijevaru, koja se sastoji u obmanjivanju oštećenika, što se postiže upotrebom računalnog sustava te neizravnu računalnu prijevaru, koja se sastoji u varanju samoga računalnog sustava. Kada potrošači kupuju robu putem interneta skloni su internetsku kupovinu vezati uz brojne rizike. Financijski rizik koji nastaje također je znatan rizik koji potrošači moraju prihvatiti prilikom online kupnje. Potrošači su obično skeptični u pogledu vrijednosti proizvoda u usporedbi s njegovom cijenom i otkrivanjem podataka o kartici. Kako bi se smanjila mogućnost financijskog rizika, potrebno je potrošačima ponuditi više načina plaćanja, primjerice plaćanje pouzećem. Politiku zaštite potrošača čini niz mjera kojima se pospješuju i štite interesi potrošača. Te mjere uključuju informiranje potrošača o svojstvima i cijeni robe i usluga, educiranje potrošača o njihovim pravima i obvezama. Prihvaćanjem jedinstvenih europskih pravila zaštite potrošača hrvatskim se trgovcima olakšava i pojeftinjuje poslovanje na jedinstvenom tržištu EU-a.Internet and e-commerce are transforming the way companies present themselves to customers. A huge part of business itself is now online, from product design and development, to marketing and offering customers final product. This achieves efficiency improvements, better asset utilization, faster time to market, reduced total order execution time, and improved customer service. Although online business has a number of advantages, it is still insufficiently regulated, unmanaged and uncontrolled, so it has a much wider range of risks and threats. Risk can be defined as a breach of security in which some data or property containing classified information could be lost or stolen. The main risks associated with e-commerce concern hackers, viruses and card fraud. Computer fraud is one of the most common forms of computer crime. They can be divided into direct computer fraud which is achieved by using a computer system, and indirect computer fraud, which consists in cheating the computer system itself. When consumers buy goods online that purchase comes with a risk. The financial risk is significant risk that consumers must accept when shopping online. Consumers are usually skeptical about the value of a product compared to its price and disclosure of card information. In order to reduce the possibility of financial risk, more payment methods should be offered, such as cash on delivery. Consumer protection policy are measures that promote and protect the interests of consumers. These measures include informing consumers about the properties and price of goods and services, educating consumers about their rights and obligations. By adopting uniform European consumer protection rules, it is easier and cheaper for Croatian traders to do business in EU single market

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

ZAŠTITA INTELEKTUALNOG VLASNIŠTVA U EUROPSKOJ UNIJI I HRVATSKOJ : Završni rad
No full textPrvi oblici intelektualnog vlasništva pojavili su se u Engleskoj tijekom 17. i 18. stoljeća, a prvi koncept intelektualnog vlasništva do danas je prošao brojne reforme. Intelektualno vlasništvo odnosi se na kreacije uma, poput izuma; književna i umjetnička djela; dizajna; te simboli, nazivi i slike koji se koriste u trgovini. U intelektualno vlasništvo ubraja se patent, zaštita, autorska prava i sl., a zaštita prava intelektualnog vlasništva predstavlja važan segment pravne stečevine EU ali i na razini RH. U EU intelektualno vlasništvo zaštićeno je brojnim uredbama i direktivama, te su oformljene institucije koje se brinu o zaštiti intelektualnog vlasništva, dok je u RH ovo područje uređeno cijelim nizom zakonskih propisa od kojih se ističu: Zakon o autorskom pravu i srodnim pravima, Zakon o industrijskom dizajnu, Zakon o patentu i Zakon o zaštiti topografija poluvodičkih proizvoda.The first forms of intellectual property appeared in England during the 17th and 18th centuries, and the first concept of intellectual property has undergone numerous reforms to date. Intellectual property refers to the creations of the mind, like inventions; literary and artistic works; design; and the symbols, names, and images used in the store. Intellectual property includes patents, protection, copyright, etc., and the protection of intellectual property rights is an important segment of the acquis communautaire, but also at the level of the Republic of Croatia. In the EU, intellectual property is protected by numerous decrees and directives, and institutions have been established that take care of the protection of intellectual property, while in the Republic of Croatia this area is regulated by a number of legal regulations, of which: design, the Patent Law and the Law on the Protection of Topographies of Semiconductor Products
Novi pogled na znanost i religiju
No full textZnanost i teologija imaju potpuno različitu bazu za spoznaju prirode. Zato u principu ne može postojati interferencija, a kamoli sukob između tih dviju disciplina. Sa stanovišta znanosti to stanovište je danas općenito usvojeno. Teologija izgleda još uvijek prigovara znanosti, kao nekad Galileu, da pokušava misliti kao Bog, umjesto da više sluša što sam Bog misli
POSLOVNI RIZICI I OSIGURANJE OD RIZIKA U VANJSKOJ TRGOVINI : završni rad
No full textVanjskotrgovinsko poslovanje svoj poseban značaj dobiva od sredine 20. stoljeća kada na snagu stupaju pravni akti koji reguliraju vanjskotrgovinsko poslovanje i vanjsku trgovinu, pa samim time i razmjenu robe i usluga putem istih. Na suvremenoj poslovnoj sceni postoji sve više poduzeća koja posluju na vanjskotrgovinskoj razini, a digitalizacija i ubrzan razvoj informacijske tehnologije dodatno su doprinijeli prodavanju proizvoda i usluga izvan granica države u kojoj je poduzeće registrirano. Pored pozitivnih strana koje ima vanjskotrgovinsko poslovanja i značaj na globalno gospodarstvo, važno je spomenuti i negativne strane odnosno rizike koji se mogu pojaviti prilikom vanjske razmjene robe i usluga. Ti rizici se ponajprije odnose na oštećenje robe prilikom transporta, kreditne rizike, rizik solventnosti, tržišni rizik uslijed neočekivanih političkih i gospodarskih situacija i slično. Kako bi se poduzeće zaštitilo od takvog rizika primjenjuju se različite metode, a neke od njih su: mjere samoosiguranja, prebacivanje nekih rizika na poslovnog partnera, osiguranja od rizika putem odgovarajućih društava i korištenje hedging i forfetiranja kao suvremenih oblika prijenosa rizika na treću osobu.International business has gained special significance since the middle of the 20th century, when legal acts regulating international business and foreign trade came into force, and thus the exchange of goods and services through them. In the modern business scene, there are more and more companies operating internationally, and digitalization and the accelerated development of information technology have further contributed to the sale of products and services outside the country in which the company is registered. In addition to the positive aspects of international business and its importance to the global economy, it is important to mention the negative aspects and risks that may arise when exchanging goods and services. These risks primarily relate to damage to goods during transport, credit risks, solvency risk, market risk due to unexpected political and economic situations and the like. To protect the company from such risk, various methods are used, some of which are: self-insurance measures, transfer of some risks to a business partner, risk insurance through appropriate companies and the use of hedging and forfeiture as modern forms of risk transfer to third parties
