Vitamin K and vascular calcifications
No full textThe role of vitamin K in the synthesis of some coagulation factors is well known. The implication of vitamin K in vascular health was demonstrated in many surveys and studies conducted over the past years on the vitamin K-dependent proteins non-involved in coagulation processes. The vitamin K-dependent matrix Gla protein is a potent inhibitor of the arterial calcification, and may become a non-invasive biochemical marker for vascular calcification. Vitamin K-2 is considered to be more important for vascular system, if compared to vitamin K-1. This paper is reviewing the data from recent literature on the involvement of vitamin K and vitamin K-dependent proteins in cardiovascular health
Osiandrova epistemologija astronomije
No full textAndreas Osiander’s Ad lectorem, attached to Copernicus’ De revolutionibus, had for long been considered a classical expression of the instrumentalist view of science. The main point of this short anonymous text is that Copernicus’ thesis (i.e. that “the earth moves while the sun is at rest in the center of the universe”) is, like all other astronomical models, only a mathematical “hypothesis”, which enables the calculation of the positions of heavenly bodies but does not reflect the physical reality of the universe. The author puts Osiander’s text in the context of the standard 16th century epistemological demands for scientific explanation and argues that Osiander is not an instrumentalist in the modern sense of the term. Osiander’s epistemology of astronomy is not the result of the instrumentalist view of science in general, but a reflection of the astronomer’s impossibility to decide – on the basis of observations from the earth – which models of the real heavenly spheres present the actual causes of the movement of the heavenly bodies.Osiandrovo besedilo Bralcu o hipotezah tega dela, ki je bilo dodano na začetek Kopernikovega dela O revolucijah nebesnih sfer, je dolgo časa veljalo za klasičen primer instrumentalističnega razumevanja znanosti. Osnovna poanta tega kratkega in nepodpisanega nagovora je, da je Kopernikova teza, da »se Zemlja giblje, Sonce pa je negibno sredi vesolja«, zgolj matematična oziroma astronomska »hipoteza«, s pomočjo katere je mogoče lažje izračunavati položaje nebesnih teles, ki pa – tako kot tudi druge astronomske »hipoteze« – ne odraža dejanske fizične realnosti vesoljnega ustroja. Avtor interpretira Osiandrovo besedilo v kontekstu standardnih epistemoloških zahtev 16. stoletja in skuša pokazati, da Osiander ni instrumentalist v sodobnem pomenu besede. Osiandrova epistemologija astronomije je refleksija nemožnosti astronoma, da se na podlagi opazovanj z Zemlje z gotovostjo odloči, kateri modeli realnih nebesnih sfer so dejanski vzrok premikanja posameznih nebesnih teles
Gonzo journalism: the literary journalism genre in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
No full textHunter Stockton Thompson je bil ameriški pisatelj in novinar, ki je od 60. let 20. stoletja deloval kot pomembna figura protikulturnega gibanja. Skupaj z drugimi novožurnalističnimi avtorji je pisal besedila, ki so jemala prvine tako iz literature kot iz novinarstva. V svojem delu Strah in groza v Las Vegasu je dosegel vrhunec svojega sloga, ki ga je sam imenoval gonzo novinarstvo. V diplomi smo razložili razvoj osebnega sloga, analizirali vsebino, pripovedna sredstva ter razmerje med avtorjem in pripovedovalcem, njegovim alter egom. Ugotovili smo, da je delo manj osnovano na resničnosti kot ostala dela novega žurnalizma, zato spada pod polnokrvni leposlovni in ne pod neleposlovni roman. Subjektivna pripovedna tehnika avtorju omogoča tako izražanje osebne resnice, v tradiciji modernega romana, in izražanje splošne resnice, ki je sposobna preseči omejitve zgolj osebne izkušnje. Vsebinska poanta je retrospektiva o spodleteli nalogi protikulturnega gibanja. Thompson je skušal uvid v družbeno dogajanje izluščiti tudi skozi naslednje knjige in članke, vendar nikoli več ni dosegel istega uspeha.Hunter S. Thompson was an American writer and journalist that acted as an important figure in the counterculture of the sixties. Along with other writers in the new journalism movement, he wrote works that used both literary and journalistic devices. In his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas he reached the pinnacle of his style, which he called gonzo journalism. In this paper we examined the development of his personal style, analyzed the content, narrative devices and the relationship between the author and the narrator, his alter-ego. We have come to the conclusion that the work is not as based on reality as other new journalism, therefore belonging fully into fiction, rather than nonfiction. The subjective narrative allows the author to express personal truth in the vein of the modern novel as well as express general truth, which transcends personal experience. The book’s message reports on the failed task of the counterculture movement. Thompson aspired to find this sort of insight though further books and articles, but none have reached as high a success as those before
The problem of evil
No full textV magistrski nalogi smo obravnavali področje, ki ima zelo bogato zgodovino argumentiranja – problem zla. Glavni problem predstavlja združljivost obstoja zla z obstojem Boga. Zagovorniki teizma pravijo, da je obstoj Boga neodvisen od obstoja zla, medtem ko so nasprotniki, ateisti, prepričani, da eksistenca zla izpodbija obstoj Boga oziroma vsaj eno od njegovih lastnosti – vsemogočnost, vsevednost in moralno popolnost.
Proučevali smo logični in evidenčni problem zla in skušali pokazati pomanjkljivosti in prednosti vsakega pristopa. Najslavnejši zagovornik logičnega problema zla je John Leslie Mackie, njegova poanta je nezdružljivost Božjih lastnosti (vsemogočnost, vsevednost in moralna popolnost) z obstojem zla. Najmočnejši ugovor logičnemu problema zla predstavi Alvin Plantinga z obrambo s svobodno voljo, kjer ima človek možnost svobodne odločitve med izbiro dobrega ali slabega dejanja. William L. Rowe je razvil evidenčni problem zla, kjer obstoj zla zmanjšuje moč Boga oziroma celo njegov obstoj. Prav tako smo obravnavali teodiceje, ki veljajo za eno od najstarejših poskusov opravičevanja Božjega dovoljenja zla.
S proučevanjem različnih stališč vodilnih avtorjev smo skušali pokazati in dokazati, da je obstoj Boga neodvisen od obstoja zla oziroma da obstoj zla ne zmanjšuje moči Boga.In this thesis, we discussed a field which has a very rich history of arguments – problem of evil. The main problem presents compatibility between the existence of evil and the existence of God. Supporters of theism say that the existence of God is independent of the existence of evil, while opponents, atheists, are convinced that the existence of evil rebuts the existence of God or at least one of his attributes – omnipotence, omniscience, and moral perfection.
We studied the logical and evidential problem of evil and tried to show disadvantages and advantages of each approach. The most famous defender of the logical problem of evil is John Leslie Mackie, who points out the incompatibility of God’s attributes (omnipotence, omniscience, and moral perfection) with the existence of evil. The strongest argument against the logical problem from evil is introduced by Alvin Platinga with free will defense, where a human being has a possibility of making a free decision between good or evil deed. William L. Rowe developed the evidential problem of evil, where existence of evil reduces the power of God or even his existence. We also discussed theodicies which are considered to be one of the oldest attempts to justify God’s permission of evil.
By examining different approaches of leading authors, we tried to show and prove that the existence of God is independent of the existence of evil or that the existence of evil does not reduce the power of God
ONLINE TRAINING IN THE FIELD OF SAFETY AT WORK
No full textSvrha ovog rada i sama poanta pisanja istog je proizašla iz problematike osposobljavanja radnika za rad na siguran način i ovlaštenika poslodavca na daljinu. Prednosti, ali i nedostatke takve vrste osposobljavanja autor ovog rada je prepoznao radeći 2 godine za ovlaštenu tvrtku za poslove zaštite na radu. Cilj ovoga rada je na jednom mjestu obraditi tematiku i postaviti sustav osposobljavanja na daljinu kako bi se olakšalo budućim stručnjacima zaštite na radu koji se susretnu s ovom problematikom. U prvom dijelu ovog diplomskog rada definirati će se zakonska regulativa u području zaštite na radu, a koja se dotiče osposobljavanja. Navesti će se obaveze poslodavca te što je sve potrebno kako bi se provelo osposobljavanje radnika za rad na siguran način i za ovlaštenika poslodavca na daljinu koristeći online platforme. U drugom dijelu rada definirati će se sustav online osposobljavanja u praksi temeljen na zakonskoj regulativi i iskustvu autora ovog rada. Postaviti će se sustav koji provjereno funkcionira u praksi te unutar zakonskih okvira i stručnih mišljenja nadležnog ministarstva. Prolaskom kroz rad obraditi će se prednosti i nedostaci ovog tipa osposobljavanja. Ponuditi će se rješenje, uzimajući u obzir zakone i pravilnike Republike Hrvatske, mišljenja Ministarstva rada, mirovinskog sustava, obitelji i socijalne politike te ostalu literaturu.The purpose of this thesis and the essence of writing it have emerged from the issue of training workers to work safely and training employer's authorized person remotely. I recognized the advantages and disadvantages of such training while working for two years with an authorized company for occupational safety services. The aim of this paper is to address the topic in one place and establish a remote training system to facilitate future occupational safety professionals who encounter this issue. In the first part of this thesis, we will define the legal regulations in the field of occupational safety related to training. We will specify the employer’s obligations and what is required to conduct training for safe work and for employer's authorized person remotely using online platforms. In the second part of the paper, we will define the online training system in practice based on legal regulations and the experience of the author of this paper. We will set up a system that has been proven to work in practice and within the legal framework and expert opinions of the competent ministry. Through this paper, we will examine the advantages and disadvantages of this type of training. Using the laws and regulations of the Republic of Croatia, opinions from the Ministry of Labour, Pension System, Family and Social Policy, and other literature, we will provide our opinion and propose a solution
Neo-Conservatism, New Right Wings, the Right Radicalism, and Foreigners in Western Europe
No full textU ovom tekstu autor se bavi metodičkim propitivanjem fenomena neokonzervativizma, novih desnica i desnoga radikalizma prema strancima. Iako pripadaju tzv. desnoj političkoj fenomenologiji, neumitno je razlikovanje njihovih specifičnih i značajnih razlika. Utvrđuju se razlike između američke i evropske varijante neokonzervativizma, s posebnim osvrtom na njemački neokonzervativizam i njegov odnos prema strancima. S druge strane, razdvajanjem fenomena novih desnica od neokonzervativizma željelo se izbjeći počesto miješanje (nepreciznost) pojmova. U tom smislu nove se desnice javljaju izvan neokonzervativnoga kulturnog kruga. Za njihov odnos prema strancima značajna je biologističko-rasistička struja i grupa okupljena oko Thule seminara. U središtu interpretacije nalazi se relacija desnoga radikalizma i stranaca, koja se obrađuje na primjeru SR Njemačke. Slijedi prikaz organizacijskog i komunikacijskog ustrojstva neonacističkih grupa, te ksenofobičnih tendencija u njihovoj političkoj ideologiji. Problem ksenofobije izložen je u strukturno-antropologijskom i civilizacijskom kontekstu. Nakon toga razmatraju se uzroci i društvena uvjetovanost ksenofobije u SR Njemačkoj i eksplicira ksenofobijska poanta o »strancima kao svačijim krivcima«.The author is engaged in a methodical examination of the phenomena of neo-conservatism, new right wings, and the right radicalism with regard to foreigners. Although these belong to the so-called right political phenomenology, it is necessary to make a distinction between their specific and significant differences. An attempt has been made to determine differences between the American and the European varieties of neo-conservatism, with special reference to the German one and its relation towards foreigners. On the other hand, by separating the phenomenon of new right wings from neo-conservatism an impreciseness and confusion of concepts (something quite common) may have been avoided. In this sense, new right wings have emerged outside the neo-conservative cultural circle. Their stance towards foreigners is epitomized in the biologism-related racist stream and the Thule seminar group. In the focus of the author's interest is the right radicalism vis-à-vis foreigners relation, which is illustrated by the example of FR of Germany. The organisation- and communication-related structure of Neo-Nazi groups, as well as xenophobic tendencies in their political ideology have been focused on. The problem of xenophobia is presented in a structural-anthropological and civilization-related context. There follows an examination of the causes of and preconditions fox the appearance of xenophobia in German society, and then an explication of the xenophobic point of “foreigners as everybody's culprits”
