Temeljna morfogenetska obilježja špilja u dolini Grabovac (Slunj, Hrvatska)
No full textThe explored area is about 4 km east of Slunj town at the region known as Kordun Karst. This location stipulated the specific condition for the formation of the speleological objects in the south area of Grabovac Valley. The Grabovac Stream flows from the north to the south through the Grabovac Valley connected to the canyon of the river Korana. Partially the Grabovac Stream flows underground. In this area in the period of years 2000 and 2001 a member of Speleological society Karlovac (Karlovac, Croatia) explored three caves. The biggest is Ponor pod Kremenom Cave with total length of the channels of 1019 m. The underground part of the Grabovac Stream flows through its channels. In the south of the dry part of the valley there are two caves: Gornja Barićeva (260 m long) and Donja Barićeva (26 m long). Morphological characteristics indicate the dynamics of the formation of the cave system under the influence of the allogenic water. They are the result of the corrosion and erosion caused by the water of the underground part of Grabovac Stream during several phases. These tree caves are parts of one system in sense of speleogenesis. Six basic phases of the formation of the speleological objects can be established. The aim of this paper is to give the basic theses about the morphogenesis of these caves, particularly in relation to their geomorphological position.Istraživano područje nalazi se oko 4 km istočno od grada Slunja, u okviru tzv. kordunskog krša. Potok Grabovac teče od sjevera k jugu dolinom koja se spaja na kanjon rijeke Korane. Potok Grabovac je ponornica, tj. djelomično teče podzemno. Ovdje su u razdoblju od 2000. do 2001. članovi Speleološkog društva Karlovac istražili tri špilje. Najveća je Ponor pod Kremenom, dužine 1019 m. Kroz nju prolazi podzemni dio potoka Grabovac. Na jugu suhog dijela doline su još dvije špilje: Gornja Barićeva (dužine 260 m) i Donja Barićeva (dužine 26 m). Morfološke karakteristike ovih špilja upućuju na dinamiku razvoja ovoga špiljskog sustava pod utjecajem alogenoga vodenog toka. Ove tri špilje nastale su kao rezultat korozijskog i erozijskog djelovanja podzemnog dijela potoka Grabovac kroz nekoliko faza. One su dijelovi jedinstvenog sustava u speleogenetskom smislu. Može se razlikovati šest osnovnih faza u nastanku toga špiljskog sustava. Naglasak je ovog rada na morfogenezi ovih špilja, posebno u odnosu na njihov geomorfološki položaj
Il Fiore di discorsi del predicatore-patriota fra' Filip Grabovac, suddito della Serenissima
No full textAbstract
The author considers the literary and human experience of the Franciscan Dalmatian Filip Grabovac, in the background of cultural history of Balcanic lands under Venetian rule in the first half of the eighteenth century. The only Grabovac book, the Cvit razgovora naroda i jezika slovinskoga Iliti hrvatskoga (Flower of conversations of the Illyrian or Croatian people and language, 1747), is examined in its cultural and religious context (the activity of Franciscans of Bosnia and Dalmatia) and in its literary and linguistic-literary framework (Croatian literature and vulgar languages). The Cvit is a work in verse and prose, consisting of two parts, the first one with a strong moralistic-didactic tendency, and the second historical part displaying great attention to the current fate of the Croatian Catholic populations. A miscellaneous work with medieval flavour, it seems to be the issue of Franciscan tradition in Balcanic area, a tradition imbued with heroic and patriarchal war-culture, fully expressed by folk epics in the Dinaric area, which made the Franciscans a significant component of anti-turkish front in the country. Just the stressing of this heroic and patriotic element makes Grabovac and his Cvit incompatible with the political system of the Serenissima, that will imprison the writer and destroy his work
Music in Stari Grabovac on Ethnological Instrumentarium
No full textU tekstu autor pokušava uobličiti etnografsku građu skupljenu na terenu u različite prakse interpretacije. Počevši od najranijih zapisa pjesama i plesova kombinira izvođenje glazbe s uglavnom ekonomskim kontekstom u kojem se ona izvodi. Na kraju daje pokušaj drugačijeg, autorefleksivnog pristupa govoru kazivača.The text deals with the music history in the village of Stari Grabovac. Through such history, the text also tries to present the history of ethnology in Croatia. The author thinks that these two histories cannot be divided, neither analytically, nor in practice. He tries to present his attitude using the problematic term tradition. In that way, the history of music is presented by different ethnographic discourses. At the end of the text, the interview with family Jugović is presented as inter-subjective dialog between the heard material and the cultural heritage of ethnographer
Sleep Quality, Duration, and Associated Sexual Function at Older Age: Findings from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
No full textIntroduction
One factor that may plausibly be associated with sexual dysfunction is sleep disturbance. Like sexual problems, complaints of sleep disturbance increase with age and are commonly reported by older adults.
Aims
To examine associations between sleep quality, duration, and a range of sexual problems in a large, representative sample of older adults.
Methods
Data were from 2,568 men and 1,376 women (age ≥50 years) participating in Wave 6 of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2012–2013). Sleep quality, duration, and problems with erectile function, sexual arousal, and orgasmic experience were self-reported; associations were examined using logistic regression models. Covariates included age, ethnicity, partner status, wealth, limiting long-standing illness, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and depressive symptoms.
Main Outcome Measure
Participants self-reported problems with erectile function, sexual arousal, and orgasmic experience.
Results
In women, moderate (odds ratio [OR] = 1.53, 95% CI 1.09–2.13, P = .013) and low sleep quality (OR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.24–2.32, P = .001) were associated with increased odds of arousal problems relative to high sleep quality. In men, moderate sleep quality was associated with increased odds of erectile difficulties (OR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.16–1.85, P = .001), the difference between low and high sleep quality did not reach statistical significance (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 0.97–1.58, P = .091). Sleep quality was not associated with difficulty achieving an orgasm in men, but in women low sleep quality was associated with increased odds of orgasmic difficulty (OR = 1.63, 95% CI 1.18–2.25, P = .003). No associations between sleep duration and problems with sexual function were observed in women, but, in men, long sleep was associated with higher odds of difficulty achieving orgasm (OR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.04–2.95, P = 0.036) relative to optimal sleep duration.
Clinical Implications
Older adults presenting sleep problems should be screened for sexual dysfunction and vice versa.
Strength & Limitations
Strengths of this study include the large representative sample of older English adults, the assessment of several aspects of sexual dysfunction and sleep, and the inclusion of potentially important confounding variables into statistical models. However, the study was cross-sectional, meaning we were unable to ascertain the direction of the observed associations.
Conclusion
Sleep problems are associated with sexual dysfunction in older English adults, although some variation is noted between men and women.

No full textU ovome radu prikazana je analiza stabilnosti glinokopa „Grabovac“. Za analizu su korišteni podaci koje posjeduje Tondach d.o.o, Đakovo. Za provođenje analize korištene su tri različite metode proračuna. Korištene metode proračuna su Hoekova grafička metoda za kružni slom, program GeoStudio/Slope te aplikacija Slope/Ex. Analiza je provedena na radnim i završnim kosinama kopa. Vrijednosti faktora sigurnosti su određene za različite slučajeve na kosini gdje nema opterećenja na njoj i bez utjecaja podzemne vode te u slučajevima opterećenja i utjecaja podzemne vode i njihove kombinacije.Abstract: This analysis shows the stability of a Grabovac clay pit. All the information used for this analysis is owned by Tondach d. o. o. Đakovo. For the implementation of this analysis there have been used three different methods of calculation. These are the Hoek's graphic method for circular fracture, the GeoStudio/Slope programme and Slope/Ex application. The analysis was conducted on working and final slope digs. Values of the safety factor were determined for different cases on the slope without burdening and influence of subterranean waters, but also in cases of burdening and subterranean waters, as well as in cases where there is a combination of these factors
Elder Abuse from an Institutional Perspective
No full textV magistrskem delu sem se odločila raziskati temo delovanja različnih strokovnih služb, ki se na kočevsko-ribniškem območju srečujejo s primeri nasilja nad starimi ljudmi. Prvič so o tej temi resno spregovorili leta 1975 v Veliki Britaniji, ko je bil ta fenomen tudi prvič prepoznan kot socialni in politični problem. Danes, skoraj petdeset let kasneje, še vedno obstaja razkorak med dejansko razširjenostjo nasilja nad starimi, pripravljenostjo pogovarjati se o tem in percepcijo družbe o tej vrsti nasilja. Tudi nič manj ga ni kot v preteklosti.
V prvem delu naloge sem uporabila primerjalno in opisno metodo raziskovanja, v empiričnem pa kvalitativno raziskovalno metodo, saj me je v zvezi s strokovnim in laičnim delom bolj zanimala vsebina, z njo pa podrobnejši podatki o raziskovani tematiki. V empiričnem delu predstavljam rezultate raziskave, pridobljene z delno strukturiranim intervjujem in v kateri so sodelovali strokovni delavci z različnih področij. Poleg njih sem vključila še nevladno organizacijo in političnega odločevalca, poslanca v Državnem zboru RS, saj me je zanimal politični vidik razmišljanja o nasilju nad starimi ljudmi. Raziskovanje se mi je zdelo nepopolno brez pogovora z žrtvijo nasilja, uvid v njeno življenje in razmišljanje pa je nalogi dodal novo dimenzijo. Ugotovila sem, da se z nasiljem največkrat srečujejo na centru za socialno delo in policiji. Med ljudmi so prisotne vse vrste zlorab, ki jih omenja literatura, le spolnega, ki je očitno še vedno tabu, ne omenja nihče. Tabu je, glede na ugotovitve, tudi prijavljanje nasilja, za katerega se odloči malo žrtev. Ljudje se še vedno bojijo, da bo po prijavi situacija še hujša, a iz prakse je razvidno ravno obratno: bolj ko žrtve nasilje prijavljajo, manj se dogaja. Da bi to počeli v čim večjem številu, je treba stare ljudi opolnomočiti, poskrbeti za njihovo informiranje in znanjepa ne le njih, temveč tudi strokovne delavce, politične odločevalce, najmlajše in še zlasti povzročitelje. Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov sem na koncu oblikovala predloge, ki predstavljajo potencialno izhodišče za spremembe in izboljšave, ki bodo pripomogle k bolj kakovostnemu delu strokovnih služb in boljšemu življenju starih ljudi. Predvsem sem želela odstreti tančico, zaradi katere je nasilje nad starimi še vedno skrivnost. In dokler ostaja skrivnost, ima povzročitelj moč, da ga povzroča. Ravno zato je pomembno, da do povzročitelja od vseh nas pride sporočilo o nesprejemljivosti nasilja.Master\u27s thesis investigates the functioning of various professional services that deal with cases of violence against the elderly in the Kočevje-Ribnica area. The first serious discussion of the issue took place in the UK in 1975, when the phenomenon was first recognized as a social and political problem. Today, almost 50 years later, there is still a gap between the actual prevalence of violence against the elderly, the willingness to talk about it and society\u27s perception of this type of violence. And there is no less of it than in the past. In the first part, I used a comparative and descriptive research method, and in the empirical one qualitative research, as I was more interested in the content, and with it more detailed data on the topic being researched, in relation to both professional and lay work. In the empirical part, I present the results of the research, obtained through a semi-structured interview, in which professionals from different fields collaborated, as well as one NGO and a political decision-maker, a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia, because I was interested in the political aspect of thinking about the research topic. I would have found the research incomplete without talking to the survivor, and the insight into her life and thinking added an extra dimension to my work. I have found that most violence cases are encountered by the social workers and the police. All the types of abuse mentioned in the literature are present among residents of the research area, but sexual abuse, which is apparently still tabooit is not mentioned by any of the interviewers. According to the findings, reporting of violence is taboo as well. People fear that reporting violence will make it worse, but practice shows the opposite: the more people report it, the less it happens. To do this in the gratest possible numbers, they need to be empowered and knowledgeablenot only them, but also professionals, political decision-makers, children, and above all, the perpetrators. Based on the results, I have finally formulated proposals that can serve as a starting point for changes and improvements that will contribute to better quality of professional services and better quality of life for old people. Above all, I wanted to lift the veil that still keeps violenec against the elderly a scret. And as long as it remains a mistery, the agent has the power to cause it. That is why it is important that the message at the message that violence is not acceptable gets through to the perpetrator from all of us
Ujednačavanje pomorskog prava i interesi Hrvatske
No full textRepublika Hrvatska, kao pomorska država, ima osobit interes pratiti unifikacijske težnje u uređenju pomorskopravnih odnosa. Hrvatska je poglavito dužna ratificirati i primjenjivati konvencije i dogovore iz područja sigurnosti plovidbe, njihove česte izmjene i dopune (osobito SOLAS), jer je riječ o danas općeprihvaćenim međunarodnim obvezama koje brodovi moraju ispunjavati ako žele nesmetano uplovljavati u inozemne luke. Isto je tako neosporno da su interesi RH u pomorskom poduzetništvu prihvaćanje novih međunarodnih konvencija, odnosno njihovih izmjena i dopuna, na području pomorskog imovinskog prava te njihovo što dosljednije ozakonjenje u domaćem pravu. Stoga se moramo prilagođavati i suvremenim težnjama za povišenjem granica odgovornosti i pooštrenjem odgovornosti pomorskog poduzetnika u zaštiti oštećenih osoba (npr. u slučaju onečišćenja mora ili u prijevozu putnika). U Republici Hrvatskoj se ostvaruju ciljevi ujednačavanja pomorskog prava u izmjenama i dopunama Pomorskog zakonika
