Association and activism of displaced older female textile workers: the experiences of NGO "Kamensko" members
No full textPredstavljeno kvalitativno istraživanje se bavi tematikom tekstilnih radnika, pripadnicima industrijske grane koja u Hrvatskoj sustavno propada. Radnu snagu te industrije čine većinom žene zrelije dobi, koje propadanjem tvornica dolaze na burzu rada gdje ih čeka vrlo nepovoljan položaj. Ova studija je konkretno usmjerena na proučavanje slučaja njihovog udruživanja u obliku udruge „Kamensko“, te je pomoću metode intervjua pokušala dobiti uvid u to kako sudjelovanje u udruzi utječe na živote članova. Tijekom rujna 2019. godine u uredu udruge u Zagrebu provedeni su intervjui sa svih devetero članova koji trenutno u njoj djeluju, od kojih je 5 bivših radnika Kamenskog, 2 bivše radnice DTR-a (također velike propale tvornice) te 2 mlađe članice koje su radile u manjim tekstilnim obrtima. Sudionici su u razgovorima opisali određene aspekte udruge, svoja radna iskustva, motivaciju za članstvo i utjecaj koji sudjelovanje (odnosno zaposlenje) u udruzi ima na njih, ali su također prilikom intervjua samostalno iznosili svoje stavove o tekstilnoj industriji, za koju smatraju da je sustavno uništavana, te o struci, za koju smatraju da je podcijenjena i potplaćena. Svi su istaknuli pozitivan utjecaj zaposlenja u udruzi na svoje financijsko, ali i psihološko stanje. To je bilo posebno bitno s obzirom na traumatična iskustva i financijsku neizvjesnost koju je većina proživjela uslijed stečaja tvornica, te lošoj poziciji na tržištu rada onih starijih članica kojima udruga pruža mogućnost da u struci ostvare uvjet na mirovinu, iz čega proizlazi zaključak o izuzetnom društvenom doprinosu udruge, kao i o njenoj pozitivnoj ulozi u tekstilnoj struci.This qualitative study examines the problem of Croatian textile workers, whose industry is rapidly declining in the last two decades, with major job losses that profoundly effect the main work force of the industry: women (now mostly of mature age). The focus of the research is the NGO Kamensko, formed as an association of former workers of a textile factory. The goal of the study is to understand how participating in the NGO influenced the lives of the current members, as well as the conditions that lead to their involvement. This was achieved by conducting semi-structured interviews with the members in the office of the NGO during September of 2019 in Zagreb. The nine members all have different work experiences, but all of them claim that the Croatian textile industry is purposely ruined and that their line of work is disrespected and inadequately paid. All of them interpreted their work in the NGO as having a huge benefit on their financial and emotional wellbeing, which was especially important considering the minimal employment opportunities that the older female member face on the labour market, as well as the traumatic and financially horrible situation that they faced during the downfall of their former textile factories. The NGO gives them, as well as the younger members, decent wages, stable employment until retirement, and a positive work environment, which makes the NGO hugely beneficial to society and the textile profession
Parental monitoring of pornography use among adolescents
No full textOvaj rad bavi se temom roditeljskog nadzora nad uporabom pornografije među adolescentima. Tematskom analizom transkripata intervjua dobili smo uvid u iskustva roditelja o nadzoru nad uporabom pornografije među adolescentima. Rezultati su pokazali da roditelji u svrhu nadzora koriste tehnologiju odnosno aplikacije za nadzor tehnoloških uređaja djece. Koriste se i fizičkim pregledavanjem uređaja odnosno pregledom tekstualnih poruka, povijesti pretraživanja, fotografija i video snimaka. Nalazi pokazuju da je za nadzor važna i količina povjerenja koja vlada između roditelja i adolescenata kao i otvorena komunikacija o temama seksualnosti. Rezultati ukazuju na zadovoljstvo roditelja dostupnim rješenjima za nadzor nad uporabom pornografije. Ishodi ovoga rada mogu biti orijentir za daljnja istraživanja teme, a dobiveni rezultati se mogu iskoristiti u edukativne svrhe za efikasniji i afirmativniji nadzor nad korištenjem interneta kod adolescenata.The main topic of this paper is parental supervision over the use of pornography among adolescents. Through the thematic analysis of interview transcripts, we gained insight into parents' experience of monitoring and using pornography among adolescents. The results showed that for the purpose of monitoring, parents use technology: applications for monitoring children's technological devices. They also use physical examination of the device, i.e. examination of text messages, search history, photos and videos. The findings show that the amount of trust that reigns between parents and adolescents as well as open communication about sexuality topics is important for monitoring. The results indicate parents' satisfaction with the available solutions for monitoring the use of pornography. The results of this work can be a landmark for further research on the topic, and the obtained results can be used for educational purposes for more effective and affirmative monitoring of the use of the Internet by adolescents
A feminist approach on pornography and online sex work, with an emphasis on the OnlyFans platform
No full textKoristeći se primjerom OnlyFans platforme ovaj diplomski rad istražuje feministički teorijski okvir fokusiran na koncept seksualnog rada i pornografije u digitalnoj sferi. Ova tema oduvijek je bila predmet rasprave feminističkih krugova pa tako nailazimo na dvije oprečne struje feminističkih misli: antipornografski pokret i pro-seks feminizam. Dvije feminističke struje u svoj fokus stavile su problem pornografije koju usko vežemo uz seksualni rad, a njezin razvoj ovisio je o razvoju novih tehnologija, posebice interneta. OnlyFans, koji se svojim sadržajem svrstava u pornografski rad zbog mogućnosti objavljivanja sadržaja seksualne tematike, poslužio je kao idealan primjer modernog feminističkog problema, a glavne značajke ove platforme koje se opisuju u radu su transformacija seksualnog rada, promjena u dinamici muško ženskih odnosa zajedno sa redefiniranjem intimnosti i seksualnosti. Uvidom u znanstvena istraživanja ove teme došlo se do zaključka da je i dalje prisutan podijeljen stav feministkinja oko ove teme, ali i da bi se u fokus trebala staviti zaštita žena koje su odabrale baviti se seksualnim radom.Using the example of the OnlyFans platform, this thesis explores a feminist theoretical framework focused on the concept of sex work and pornography in the digital sphere. This topic has always been the subject of discussion in feminist circles, so we come across two opposing currents of feminist thought: the anti-pornography movement and pro-sex feminism. Two feminist currents focused on the problem of pornography, which is closely related to sex work, and its development depended on the development of new technologies, especially the Internet. The OnlyFans, whose content is categorized as pornographic work due to the possibility of publishing sexual content, served as an ideal example of a modern feminist problem, and its main features described in the work are the transformation of sexual work, a change in the dynamics of male-female relationships, along with the redefinition of intimacy and sexuality. By looking into the scientific research on this topic, we came to the conclusion that there is still a divided attitude of feminists on this topic, but also that the focus should be on the protection of women who have chosen to engage in sex work
Discrimination of transgender people in Croatia - a view from their perspective
No full textGlavna tema ovog rada su razni obrasci diskriminacije s kojima se susreću transrodne osobe u Hrvatskoj. Metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua cilj nam je bio istražiti i kategorizirati iskustva transrodnih osoba s transfobijom u raznim životnim aspektima kao što su obitelj i prijatelji, obrazovni sustav, birokracija, radno mjesto, zdravstveni sustav i javni prostor. Uzorak čini 10 punoljetnih transrodnih osoba koje žive u Hrvatskoj. Tematskom analizom transkripata intervjua dobili smo uvid u iskustva koja imaju transrodne osobe u Hrvatskoj, kako su ta iskustva utjecala na njih te kako su se zbog njih osjećali. Rezultati pokazuju kako u mnogim životnim aspektima transrodne osobe doživljavaju razne oblike diskriminacije, u nekim slučajevima čak i nasilja. Iskustva s „izlaskom iz ormara“ svojoj obitelji često su znala biti negativna, ali bi kroz vrijeme članovi obitelji promijenili mišljenje i postali bi podrška. Glavni problem obrazovnog sustava je nasilje od strane vršnjaka. Birokratski sustav u Hrvatskoj također u mnogim slučajevima nije adekvatno funkcionalan za pomoć transrodnim osobama prilikom tranzicije. Unutar zdravstvenog sustava glavni je problem needuciranost medicinskog osoblja, kao i centraliziranost, odnosno dostupnost psihijatara i psihologa koji su specijalizirani za transrodnost jedino u Zagrebu, što stvara dodatne probleme osobama koje ne žive u Zagrebu. Ključni nalazi u ovome radu mogu biti orijentir za daljnja istraživanja ove teme, kao i pokazatelj potrebe za intenzivnijim educiranjem opće populacije o temama rodnih seksualnih identiteta.The main topic of this paper are various forms of discrimination faced by transgender people in Croatia. Using the semi-structured interview method, our goal was to investigate and categorize the experiences of transgender people with transphobia in various aspects of life, such as family and friends, the education system, bureaucracy, the workplace, the healthcare system and public spaces. The sample consists of 10 adult transgender persons living in Croatia. Through the thematic analysis of interview transcripts, we gained insight into the experiences of transgender people in Croatia, how these experiences affected them and how they made them feel. The results show that in many aspects of life, transgender people experience various forms of discrimination, and in some cases even violence. Experiences with coming out to their family were often negative, but over time family members would change their minds and become supportive. The main problem of the education system is violence by peers. The bureaucratic system in Croatia is also in many cases not adequately functional to help transgender people during the transition. Within the healthcare system, the main problem is the knowledge about transgender issues that medical staff lacks, as well as the centralization, that is, the availability of psychiatrists and psychologists who specialize in transgender issues only in Zagreb, which creates additional problems for people who do not live in Zagreb. The key findings in this paper can be a landmark for further research on this topic, as well as an indicator of the need for more intensive education of the general population in Croatia on the topics of gender and sexual identities
Perception of the impact of pornography use on relations between partners in heterosexual relationships
No full textKonzumiranje pornografskog sadržaja mijenja percepciju seksa kod ljudi. Upravo je zbog toga zanimljivo kako partneri u romantičnim odnosima gledaju na pornografiju te smatraju li da ona ima utjecaj na njihovo seksualno ponašanje i sam doživljaj seksa i seksualnosti. Ako polazimo od stajališta da živimo u patrijarhalnom društvu vidljivo je da muškarci i žene drugačije doživljavaju seksualne odnose te sve ostalo što se u kulturi seksualizira. Ciljevi ovog rada su utvrditi kako osobe koje su u vezama doživljavaju pornografiju, koji su njihovi stavovi oko slobode konzumacije pornografskog sadržaja te smatraju li da takav sadržaj utječe na njihove partnerske odnose. Kako bi se došlo do tih odgovora provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje u obliku polustrukturiranog intervjua na četiri heteroseksualna monogamna para u vezi duljoj od godinu dana. Intervjui su vođeni pojedinačno kako bi se osigurala nepristranost odgovora, a podaci su analizirani tematskom analizom. Teme koje su obuhvaćene u istraživanju objedinjene su u nekoliko cjelina: doživljaj pornografije, osobna percepcija vs. percepcija prema suprotnom spolu, komunikacija u vezi, zajedničko gledanje pornografije i osobno iskustvo u pogledu posljedica pornografije. Rezultati ukazuj na razlike između žena i muškaraca u stavovima prema pornografiji, pri čemu muškarci češće pokazuju otvoreniji stav dok žene naglašavaju etičke aspekte i strah od objektivizacije. Otvorena komunikacija unutar odnosa istaknuta je kao bitna stavka za razumijevanje i prevladavanje nesuglasica vezanih uz pornografiju. Uz navedeno, ovo istraživanje ističe važnost daljnjih studija većim i raznovrsnijim uzorkom, kako bi se dobio širi uvid u utjecaj pornografije na partnerske odnose.Consuming pornographic content changes people's perception of sex. It is precisely because of this that it is interesting how partners in romantic relationships view pornography and whether they think that it has an influence on their sexual behaviour and the very experience of sex and sexuality. If we start from the point of view that we live in a patriarchal society, it is evident that men and women experience sex and everything else that is sexualized in culture differently. The goals of this paper are to determine how people who are in relationships experience pornography, what their attitudes are regarding the freedom to consume pornographic content, and whether they think that such content affects their partner relationships. In order to obtain these answers, a qualitative study was conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews with four heterosexual monogamous couples in a relationship for more than a year. The interviews were conducted individually to ensure the impartiality of the responses, and the data were analysed using thematic analysis. The topics covered in the research are grouped into several units: the experience of pornography, personal perception vs. perception towards the opposite sex, communication in a relationship, viewing pornography together and personal experience regarding the consequences of pornography. The results indicate differences between women and men in attitudes towards pornography, with men more often showing a more open attitude while women emphasize ethical aspects and fear of objectification. Open communication within relationships is highlighted as an important element for understanding and overcoming disagreements related to pornography. covered several areas: the experience of pornography, personal perception vs. perception of the opposite sex, communication in the relationship, watching pornography together, and personal experience with the consequences of pornography. In addition, this research emphasizes the importance of further studies with a larger and more diverse sample, in order to gain a broader insight into the impact of pornography on partner relationships

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
