Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences students information literacy in the academic context during the coronavirus pandemic
No full textInformacijska pismenost u današnje je vrijeme jedna od najpoznatijih i najvažnijih oblika pismenosti, a ovaj rad bavi se istraživanjem informacijske pismenosti u akademskom kontekstu tijekom pandemije koronavirusa. U prvom dijelu rada prikazan je teorijski okvir u kojem je prikazano okruženje u kojem se provodi istraživanje, definiranje i povijesni razvoj informacijske pismenosti te informacijska pismenost u visokoškolskom obrazovanju koja podrazumijeva modele i standarde informacijske pismenosti. Na kraju teorijskog dijela dan je pregled istraživanja informacijske pismenosti u visokoškolskom obrazovanju tijekom pandemije koronavirusa.
Prikazani su rezultati istraživanja koje je provedeno na studentima Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu tijekom svibnja 2022. godine. Mjerila se razina informacijske pismenosti studenata te promjena njihovih informacijskih potreba pojavom pandemije koronavirusa. Osim toga, mjeren je način pretraživanja informacija s obzirom na promjenu mjesta boravišta. Kao metoda prikupljanja podataka korištena je anonimna anketa izrađena putem Googleovog obrasca. Anketa se sastojala od dvadeset pitanja zatvorenog tipa.Nowadays, information literacy is one of the most known and important form of literacy and this paper deals with the research of information literacy in the academic context during the coronavirus pandemic. The first part of the paper presents a theoretical framework in which the environment of the research, definition and historical development of information literacy are presented. At the end of the theoretical part, an overview of information literacy research in higher education in the coronavirus pandemic is given.
Later, results of research are presented based on a survey of students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb during May 2022. The research measured the level of students information literacy and the change in their information needs during the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, the way in which they search for information was measured with regard to the change of their place of residence. Research was conducted via an anonymous survey created using Google Forms. The survey consisted of twenty closed-ended questions
Municipal wardens in pomurje
No full textKer je dobrina varnosti v lokalni skupnosti izjemno cenjena, se marsikdo premalo zaveda, da zanjo ne more biti odgovorna samo država, pač pa vzajemno sodelovanje različnih subjektov zagotavljanja lokalne varnosti, še posebej policije in občinskih redarstev. V skladu s tem je nastalo občinsko redarstvo, ki je skupni organ občinske uprave občin ter s svojo odgovornostjo in nalogami skrbi za varnost na območju občine. Prelomnica občinskih redarstev je bila z letom 2006, ko je bil sprejet Zakon o občinskem redarstvu. S pomočjo tega zakona so pooblastila in pristojnosti medobčinskih redarstev dobile močno nadgradnjo. Cilj diplomske naloge je bil predstaviti delovanje redarskih služb v Pomurskih občinah Lendava, Ljutomer in Murska Sobota. Redarske službe na območju Pomurja sodijo v dokaj mlado dejavnost zagotavljanja varnosti v omenjenih občinah, saj so nastale šele v 20. stoletju, s ciljem preventivnega delovanja in ne kaznovanja ter čim bolj učinkovitega vzpostavljanja reda za zadovoljstvo svojih občanov. Raziskovalni del diplomske naloge je sestavljen iz dveh delov. V prvem delu je mogoče zaslediti mnenje zaposlenih redarjev glede opravljanja temeljnih delovnih nalog občinskih redarjev v občinah Murska Sobota, Ljutomer in Lendava. Drugi del predstavlja mnenje prebivalcev Pomurja glede njihovih pričakovanj, zaupanja, zadovoljstva ter uspešnosti z delom redarske službe pri zagotavljanju lokalne varnosti v pomurskih občinah. Ugotovitve so pokazale, da so občinski redarji enotnega mnenja, da morata policija in občinska redarska služba pri zagotavljanju varnosti ustvarjati partnerski odnos in ne medsebojno tekmovati. Rezultati drugega dela raziskave so pokazale, da so ocene prebivalcev Pomurja glede pričakovanja, zaupanja in mnenja o zadovoljstvu ter uspešnosti z delom redarske službe precej nizke. Že kar nekaj let imajo ljudje negativno mnenje o redarski službi. Verjetno je še zmeraj premalo ljudi seznanjenih o tem, koliko delo občinskega redarja doprinese k ohranitvi varnosti in lagodnemu življenju v občini. Kdaj bo prišlo do pozitivnejših odnosov in več zaupanja med občinskimi redarji in lokalno skupnostjo ostaja odprto vprašanje.
The domain of security in the local community is very highly regarded, but, nevertheless, not many are aware that this security is not solely dependent on the state, it must be achieved by the reciprocal mutual cooperation of different entities that ensure local security, especially police and municipal wardens. In accordance with this, the Municipal Wardens, a joint body of the council administration is responsible for security in the area. In 2006, a critical point was reached, when the Law on Municipal Wardens was implemented.
With the help of this law, the powers and responsibilities of the municipal wardens were greatly increased. The objective of this thesis is to present the operation of the warden services in the municipalities of Pomurje in Lendava, Ljutomer and Murska Sobota. The warden services in the area of Pomurje are a relatively young entity providing security in the aforementioned municipalities, for they were created in the 20th century, with the aim of preventative action rather than punishment and establishing order for the satisfaction of their citizens as effectively as possible.
The research part of the thesis consists of two parts.
In the first part, one can find the opinions of the wardens regarding the performance of their basic work tasks as municipal wardens in the municipalities of Murska Sobota, Ljutomer and Lendava.
The second part consists of the opinions of the residents of Pomurje, their expectations, trust and satisfaction with the municipal wardens and the success of their work in providing security in the municipalities of Pomurje.
The findings show that the municipal wardens agree that they and the police must have a partnership in ensuring safety and must not compete with one another.
The results of the second part of the research have shown that the residents of Pomurje have very low expectations, trust and opinions about the work of the municipal warden.
These negative opinions have been held by people a number of years. The cause of that lies in the fact that not many people know the extent to which the work of a municipal warden contributes to the safety and the leisurely life in the municipality.
The question remains as to when a more positive attitude and greater trust between the municipal warden and local community will come about
Is Tolerance Political? An Interview with Denis Lacorne
No full textcontribution à un site webDenis Lacorne is the author of "The Limits of Tolerance. Enlightenment Values and Religious Fanaticism" (Columbia University Press, 2019), the English translation of "Les limites de la tolérance" (Gallimard, awarded the Prix Montyon by the Académie Française). In his book, which is intellectually very inspiring because of the many questions it addresses and raises, Denis Lacorne traces the emergence of the notion of tolerance from its early thinkers to the Age of Enlightenment and finally questions the notion and its various understandings through more recent events in France and the United States.

Timing of impulses from the central amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis to the brainstem
No full textThe amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) are thought to subserve distinct functions with the former mediating rapid fear responses to discrete sensory cues and the latter longer “anxiety-like” states in response to diffuse environmental contingencies. Yet, these structures are reciprocally connected and their projection sites overlap extensively. To shed light on the significance of BNST-amygdala connections, we compared the antidromic response latencies of BNST and central amygdala (CE) neurons to brainstem stimulation. Whereas the frequency distribution of latencies was unimodal in BNST neurons (~10 ms mode), that of CE neurons was bimodal (~10 and ~30 ms modes). However, after stria terminalis (ST) lesions, only short-latency antidromic responses were observed, suggesting that CE axons with long conduction times course through the ST. Compared to the direct route, the ST greatly lengthens the path of CE axons to the brainstem, an apparently disadvantageous arrangement. Since BNST and CE share major excitatory basolateral amygdala (BL) inputs, lengthening the path of CE axons might allow synchronization of BNST and CE impulses to brainstem when activated by BL. To test this, we applied electrical BL stimuli and compared orthodromic response latencies in CE and BNST neurons. The latency difference between CE and BNST neurons to BL stimuli approximated that seen between the antidromic responses of BNST cells and CE neurons with long-conduction times. These results point to a hitherto unsuspected level of temporal coordination between the inputs and outputs of CE and BNST neurons, supporting the idea of shared functions.The original publication is available at: http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/content/full/100/6/342

Severini appears influenced by Denis more than he declares in his theoretic writings
The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis mediates inter-individual variations in anxiety and fear
No full textWhile learning to fear stimuli that predict danger promotes survival, the inability to inhibit fear to inappropriate cues leads to a pernicious cycle of avoidance behaviors. Previous studies have revealed large inter-individual variations in fear responding with clinically anxious humans exhibiting a tendency to generalize learned fear to safe stimuli or situations. To shed light on the origin of these inter-individual variations, we subjected rats to a differential auditory fear conditioning paradigm where one conditioned auditory stimulus (CS+) was paired to footshocks whereas a second (CS-) was not. We compared the behavior of rats that received pre-training excitotoxic lesions of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) to that of sham rats. Sham rats exhibit a continuum of anxious/fearful behaviors. At one end of the continuum were rats that displayed a poor ability to discriminate between the CS+ and CS-, high contextual freezing, and an anxiety-like trait in the elevated plus maze (EPM). At the other end were rats that display less fear generalization to the CS-, lower freezing to context, and a non-anxious trait on the EPM. Although BNST-lesioned rats acquired similarly high levels of conditioned fear to the CS+, they froze less than sham rats to the CS-. In fact, BNST-lesioned rats behaved like sham rats with high discriminative abilities in that they exhibited low contextual fear and a nonanxious phenotype in the EPM. Overall, this suggests that inter-individual variations in fear generalization and anxiety phenotype are determined by BNST influences on the amygdala and/or its targets.Published in Journal of Neuroscience.
