PHONOLOGICAL LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF UNPUBLISHED POEMS OF THE YOUNG CHAKAVIAN POET AND CHANSONNIER NEVEN BARAC
No full textU radu se donosi pregled fonoloških jezičnih značajki neobjavljenih pjesama mladoga vinodolskog pjesnika i šansonijera Nevena Barca. Njegove su pjesme pisane na griškome idiomu koji pripada srednjočakavskomu ili ikavsko-ekavskomu čakavskom dijalektu. S jedne smo se strane u jezičnome proučavanju služili njegovom neobjavljenom zbirkom pjesama, a s druge strane do danas objavljenim dijalektološkim opisima govora Grižana te vlastitim zapažanjima s terena. Jezična je analiza potvdila da je mladi autor u jeziku pjesama ostao dosljedan svojemu mjesnom govoru.This paper provides an overview of the phonological linguistic features of the unreleased songs by the young poet and chansonnier Neven Barac. His poems are written in the Grižane idiom that belongs to the Chakavian ikavian-ekavian dialect. Linguistic analysis has confirmed that the young author has remained consistent to his local idiom linguistic features in the language of the songs
Protection and Retrieval of Encrypted Multimedia Content: When Cryptography Meets Signal Processing
No full textThe processing and encryption of multimedia content are generally considered sequential and independent operations. In certain multimedia content processing scenarios, it is, however, desirable to carry out processing directly on encrypted signals. The field of secure signal processing poses significant challenges for both signal processing and cryptography research; only few ready-to-go fully integrated solutions are available. This study first concisely summarizes cryptographic primitives used in existing solutions to processing of encrypted signals, and discusses implications of the security requirements on these solutions. The study then continues to describe two domains in which secure signal processing has been taken up as a challenge, namely, analysis and retrieval of multimedia content, as well as multimedia content protection. In each domain, state-of-the-art algorithms are described. Finally, the study discusses the challenges and open issues in the field of secure signal processing.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Gambling and attitudes of Croatian students towards gambling : differences with regard to gender and age
No full textKockanje je široko rasprostranjena pojava koja može prijeći u ovisnost i izazvati ozbiljne psihosocijalne posljedice. Rizičnu skupinu predstavljaju mladi na prelasku u odraslu dob zbog ponašanja koje se često karakterizira kao rizično i nepromišljeno. Ovaj diplomski rad sastavni je dio istraživanja „Obilježja kockanja studenata u Hrvatskoj – značaj kognitivnih i emocionalnih čimbenika“ čiji su voditelji prof. dr. sc. Neven Ricijaš i asistentica Sabina Mandić, mag. soc. ped., u suradnji sa studentima diplomskog studija Socijalne pedagogije Edukacijsko-rehabilitacijskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Temeljni je cilj rada istražiti učestalost kockanja i stavove hrvatskih studenata prema kockanju, te eventualne razlike s obzirom na spol i dob. Specifičan je cilj rada istražiti prirodu povezanosti između stavova i učestalosti kockanja u populaciji studenata. Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku od N=641 sudionika kojeg čine redoviti studenti visokoškolskih institucija u Republici Hrvatskoj (52,7% djevojaka i 47,3% mladića). Raspon dobi sudionika kreće se od 18 do 40 godina (Mdob=21,25, SDdob=2,226). U svrhu ostvarenja temeljnih ciljeva korišteni su: Upitnik o osnovnim sociodemografskim podacima, Upitnik aktivnosti kockanja (Ricijaš i sur., 2016) te Skala stavova prema kockanju - ATGS-8 (Orford i sur., 2009). Dobiveni podaci analizirani su pomoću programa za statističku analizu IBM SPSS 22. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da životna prevalencija kockanja među hrvatskim studentima iznosi 83,9%, a najučestalija kockarska aktivnost je sportsko klađenje. Redovito u njoj sudjeluje 12,9% studenata, odnosno 26,4% muških ispitanika. Utvrđene su spolne razlike u učestalosti, na način da studenti kockaju češće od studentica. Dobne razlike utvrđene su samo kod sportskog klađenja, na način da se na sportske rezultate češće klade stariji studenti, no s malim efektom razlike. Rezultati pokazuju da među studentima uglavnom prevladavaju relativno negativni stavovi prema kockanju. Utvrđene su spolne razlike, na način da studentice imaju negativnije stavove od studenata. Umjereno pozitivne stavove prema kockanju ima 25,7% muških te 10,1% ženskih studenata, dok izrazito negativne stavove ima 13,5% muških te čak 31,1% ženskih studenata. Istraživanjem dobnih razlika u stavovima prema kockanju nije utvrđena značajna razlika. Rezultati pokazuju blagu povezanost između stavova prema kockanju i učestalosti sudjelovanja u igrama na sreću s višim adiktivnim potencijalom, sportskog klađenja, ruleta u casinu i igara na sreću na automatima. Zaključno, ističe se potreba za osvještavanjem
postojanja problema vezanih uz kockanje kako bi se na vrijeme poduzeli mehanizmi zaštite i spriječile potencijalne negativne posljedice u studenskoj populaciji.Gambling is a widespread phenomenon that can turn into an addiction and cause serious psychosocial consequences. Emerging adults are at risk due to their behavior, which is often described as risky and reckless. This work is part of the project "Characteristics of students' gambling in Croatia - the importance of cognitive and emotional factors" led by Professor Neven Ricijaš and Assistant Sabina Mandić. Graduate students of social pedagogy at the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences University of Zagreb are also involved. The basic aim of this work is to investigate the frequency of gambling and Croatian students' attitudes towards gambling, as well as possible differences in terms of gender and age. The specific aim of this work is to investigate the nature of the relationship between attitudes and frequency of gambling in the student population. The research was conducted on a convenient sample of N = 641 students from higher educational institutions in the Republic of Croatia (52.7% girls and 47.3% boys). The age range of the participants was from 18 to 40 years (M = 21.25, SD = 2.226). In order to achieve the basic objectives, the following instruments were used: a questionnaire on basic socio-demographic data, a questionnaire on gambling activities (Ricijaš et al., 2016) and The scale of attitudes towards gambling - ATGS-8 (Orford et al., 2009). The obtained data were analyzed using the statistical analysis program IBM SPSS 22. The results show that the lifetime prevalence of gambling among Croatian students is 83.9% and the most common gambling activity is sports betting. According to the results, 12.9% of students and 26.4% of male students regularly participate in sports betting. Gender differences were found in the way that male students gambled more frequently than female students. Age differences were found only for sports betting activities. The results show that older students bet more frequently on sports but with a small effect difference. Results indicate that students in general have relatively negative attitudes toward gambling. Gender differences were found in that female students have more negative attitudes than male students. According to the results, 25.7% of male students and 10.1% of female students have moderately positive attitudes toward gambling, while 13.5% of male students and 31.1% of female students have extremely negative attitudes. No significant difference in attitude toward gambling was found. The results show a slight
correlation between attitude towards gambling and frequency of participation in games with higher addictive potential, such as sports betting, casino roulette and gambling on slot machines. The author emphasizes the need to raise awareness of existing gambling problems in order to create and implement protective mechanisms and prevent possible negative consequences for the student population
European Administrative Space and European Principles of Public Administration
No full textAutor u tekstu prati razvoj i probleme nastanka europskog upravnog prostora, posebno istražujući uzroke i temelje, tj. europskih načela javne uprave, ali i reforme koja ta načela zahtijevaju od državakandidata za europske integracije. Analizirajući zajednički upravno-pravni polog demokratskih država, autor ukazuje na mjesto i važnost načela: profesionalnosti, nepristranosti, lojalnosti, materijalne ne-interesiranosti, diskrecije i suzdržanosti; nezavisnost, odgovornost, stalnost, dostupnost, promptnost, otvorenost i transparentnost, učinkovitost i djelotvornost; jednostavnost i jasnoća;In this paper, the author follows the development and problems of the inception of European administrative space. He does so by in particular investigating the causes and foundations, that is, the European principles of public administration and the reforms that those principles demand from the candidate-state for European integration. By analysing the common administrative-legal contribution from democratic countries, the author points out the place and importance of principles: professionalism, impartiality, loyalty, material non-interest, discretion and restraint; independence, responsibility, constancy, accessibility, promptness, openness and transparency, efficiency and effectiveness; simplicity and clarity
Method and praxis: Practical consequences of methodological standpoint/standpoints
No full textThis paper analyzes Mladen Lazic’s study ‘Waiting for capitalism’. Attention is given to the first part of this study in which the author has specified the theoretical basis of his own research and his own methodological position. This paper investigates aforementioned methodological position from the view of its possible practical consequences and inside this methodological position recognizes two elements. The first element comes from the so-called. historical relational method which author use in the manner of the French ‘Annales school’, which studies the processes of long duration. The second arises from the (neo)marxist concept of class and class action. After examination of these two elements of Lazic's methodological position is concluded that from them resulting different practical consequences in relation to social changes, since the method is inseparable from the practice in the sense that the theory is funded by practical habitus of its author. From historical-relational method stems favoring the evolution of social change, and this methodological point of view is compatible with gradual approach of socialdemocracy. From the (neo)marxist concept of class stems the thesis with potentially revolutionary consequences. Therefore, it will be possible different readings of this Lazic’s study, especially in the section that talks about ‘the emergence of new class relations in Serbia’ and ‘waiting for capitalism’ as a means of emancipation of Serbian society from Serbian state. Because of ambivalence of methodological form that is used i.e. ambivalence of practical consequences arising from used methodology/methodologies, the study 'Waiting for capitalism' gave possibility of both - the moderate and the radical reading, according to practical position of the reader
Interactive Remote Rendering
No full textIn this thesis, we present an interactive remote volume-rendering system. Our system tries to bridge the gap between complex medical volume data and the patient. The user can easily upload their own data, which they receive from the clinician after a scan, which they can then visualize. Our application does not require any medical or volume visualization background, and can run from any device with a working internet connection and an internet browser. We also introduce a technique to use multiple machines in order to combine the computing power into one very fast renderer and the other way around: multiple concurrent users on one machine by distributing the workload efficiently.Computer GraphicsComputer GraphicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Ontspannen leven in een multiculturele wijk: Het ontwerp van een multicultureel commercieel gebouw in Den Haag Transvaal
No full textIn dit project staat het ontwerp van een multicultureel commercieel gebouw centraal. De context van deze opgave is de wijk Transvaal in Den Haag. Dit is een aandachtswijk (=probleemwijk). Onderzoek: Voorafgaand aan het ontwerp is er een uitgebreid onderzoek verricht, naar aandachtswijken, commerciele gebouwen en de Haagse wijk Transvaal. De onderzoeksvraag die hierbij centraal staat, luidt: Met welke kwaliteitsrichtlijnen en aandachtspunten kan het ontwerp van een multicultureel commercieel gebouw geegreerd worden in een aandachtswijk en bijdragen aan de wijkverbetering? et doel van het onderzoek is tweeledig: - het ontwerpen van een multicultureel commercieel gebouw in Den Haag Transvaal. - het formuleren van kwaliteitsrichtlijnen en aandachtspunten voor een ontwerp van een multicultureel commercieel gebouw in een aandachtswijk. Aandachtswijken: Aandachtswijk is een ander woord voor probleemwijk. In het onderzoek is het overheidbeleid en architectuurbeleid van de 20e eeuw geevalueerd. Op grond van een uitgebreide inventarisatie zijn aanbevelingen voor architecten opgesteld. Commerciele gebouwen: In dit onderzoek is gekeken naar de architectonische kenmerken van commerciele gebouwen. Daarnaast is een breder onderwerp aan bod gekomen: het functioneren van publieke functies. Het commerciele gebouw zou namelijk kunnen functioneren als publieke domein (=een plaats waar verschillende maatschappelijke groepen uitwisselen). Leerzaam waren de aandachtspunten van 'Projects for Public Spaces', die pleiten voor het creeren van succesvolle plaatsen in de stad. Transvaal: Het meest specifieke onderzoek is de analyse van de wijk Transvaal. De wijk is onderzocht op stedenbouwkundig gebied, historie en sociale karakteristieken. Er is een visie opgesteld na het doornemen van de beleidsstukken en plannen van de gemeente Den Haag. Patronenboek: De bevindingen en conclusies uit het onderzoek zijn vertaald in richtlijnen voor de ontwerper. De gebruikte methode is de patronentaal van Christopher Alexander. Er is een patronenboek van 37 richtlijnen is samengesteld. Deze kan als handboek dienen voor architecten, die voor een soortgelijke opgave zijn gesteld. Ontwerp: Het ontwerp van een multicultureel commercieel gebouw in Transvaal (Den Haag) was de laatste en belangrijkste fase in het afstudeerproject. Het complex vormt een onderdeel van de wijkaanpak en stedelijke vernieuwing. Het dient een complementair onderdeel te zijn van het commerci netwerk van Den Haag. Het krijgt een Oosters karakter, gezien de bevolkingssamenstelling in de wijken er omheen. Het gebouw presenteert Transvaal met haar rijkdom aan culturen aan de stad. En het is aantrekkelijk voor hogere inkomensgroepen. Het gebouw herbergt diverse commerci functies, zoals winkels, horeca, een filmhuis en een hammam (badhuis). Daarnaast zijn er 30 woningen in het complex ondergebracht en er is voldoende parkeergelegenheid. De locatie van het gebouw is op de grens van de wijken Transvaal en de Schilderswijk. Het is een representatieve plek in de stad en het kavel vormt onderdeel van een voorzieningenstrook langs tramlijn 11. Het is goed bereikbaar voor autos en met het OV. Het gebouw heeft een duidelijke structuur, van schijven. In het complex nemen twee koepelvormige pleinen een belangrijke plaats in. De pleinen worden gevormd door bogen, die uitgesneden zijn uit de schijven. De pleinen zijn spectaculaire ruimtes, met Oosterse sfeer. In de materialisering en detaillering vindt een interessante integratie plaats. Dit ontwerp staat in Den Haag, en krijgt een Oosterse identiteit. De gevel wordt gemaakt van baksteen, met oog voor detail en toepassing van kleurrijke ornamentiek. Inspiratie hiervoor wordt gevonden in omringende bebouwing en in India. In het ontwerp worden beide werelden samengevoegd tot een interessant spel van verschillende culturen.Architectur
