A letter from Veljko Džakula, May 1993
No full textU radu autor donosi prijepis jednog dokumenta iz povijesti zapadne Slavonije iz vremena Domovinskog rata. U njemu je iznesena svojevrsna kronologija djelovanja Veljka Džakule i njegove skupine, a upućen je predsjednicima Savezne Republike Jugoslavije i Republike Srbije, Dobrici Ćosiću i Slobodanu Miloševiću. Dokument se odnosi na njihovo djelovanje tijekom 1992. i prvih nekoliko mjeseci 1993. godine tijekom kojega se razdoblja ta skupina profilirala kao pobornik politike vrlo limitiranoga pregovaračkog procesa s hrvatskim vlastima. Uz dokument je priloženo kraće pojašnjenje okolnosti u kojima je nastao, odnosno upozoreno je na najvažnije dijeloveIn this paper, the author brings a transcription of a document from Western Slavonian history from the time of the Homeland war. It shows a certain chronology of actions by Veljko Džakula and his band and is meant for the presidents of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia, Dobrica Ćosić and Slobodan Milošević. The document pertains to their actions during 1992 and the first several months of 1993 during which time that band came up as the supporter of an extremely limited negotiating process with Croatian authorities. Along with the document there is a brief clarification of the circumstances in which it was created i.e. only the most important information is contained withi
Phenotypical characteristics of peritoneal macrophages of two rat strains during inflammatory response: the importance of gut microbiota representatives

Rezultati su pokazali da i.p. primena umrtvljenih E. coli ili Enterococcus spp. dovodi do izraženije

peritoneal cavity macrophages from Albino Oxford (AO) and Dark Agouti (DA) rats during the
development of inflammatory response induced by intestinal microbiota directly, intraperitoneally (i.p.),
or indirectly, through development of colitis, as well as study of the modulation of these changes using
the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus).
I.p. application of killed E. coli or Enterococcus spp. leads to a more pronounced inflammatory
polarization of the peritoneal cavity macrophages from DA rats compared the AO strain, while i.p.
application of L. rhamnosus has a greater potential to prevent functional changes caused by in vitro
stimulation with commensal bacteria in AO rat macrophages. During the development of colitis, DA
rat macrophages produce more IL-6 than the AO strain, and significantly lower AO rat mortality was
accompanied by more intense IL-10 production in macrophages in response to additional stimulation
with commensal bacteria in vitro and higher levels of IgA-class antibodies specific to E. coli in the serum.
Early postnatal oral treatment with L. rhamnosus in DA rats increased the diversity of Bifidobacterium
species in feces, and after induction of colitis in adulthood reduced the degree of colonic ulceration,
increased the presence of resident peritoneal cavity macrophages and suppressed the increased
production of NO and IL-10 stimulated by commensal bacteria .
The findings indicate the importance of genetically determined predisposition to a certain pattern of
macrophage activation for changes in phenotype and activity during the development of inflammatory
response induced by intestinal microbiota, as well as for modulation of these changes using probiotic
bacterium L. rhamnosus

Airbnb in Academic Focus: A Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends and Author Productivity
No full textThis paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the academic discourse surrounding Airbnb, a leading figure in the sharing economy, focusing on author productivity and the evolution of research themes from 2010 to 2023. Utilizing data extracted from the Web of Science platform, we systematically review 2,023 scholarly articles to map out the trajectory of Airbnb research. Our findings reveal a noticeable growth in publications, reflecting Airbnb’s expanding influence on global accommodation practices, local communities, and the broader hospitality industry. The analysis highlights key areas of scholarly interest, including Airbnb’s disruptive innovation, its economic and social impacts, and the crucial role of trust and reputation in peer-to-peer transactions. This paper not only chronicles the rise of Airbnb within academic literature but also underscores the multidisciplinary interest it has sparked, paving the way for future research into its continuing evolution and broader implications within the sharing economy

ANONIMNI SVEDOCI I ZAŠTITA LjUDSKIH PRAVA
No full textТhe author deals with the problem of anonymous witnesses in the context of the right to a fair trial in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. One of the problems in the application of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights is related to the testimonies of anonymous witnesses in criminal proceedings. The case law of the European Court of Human Rights has developed certain criteria that must be followed in national legislation, but it is obvious that there is insufficient knowledge regarding this problem, as well as the reluctance to apply the mentioned rules. The standards developed by the ECtHR are very important for national laws and jurisprudence. The author explains the development of a three-step test that needs to be examined when assessing a violation of the right to a fair trial, through an analysis of a multitude of judgments, in order to provide guidance on the application
of Article 6 § 3 (d) of the European Convention on Human Rights. After introductory considerations, the author explains who can be a witness under the Convention, since this question is raised independently of national legislation, and then explains the right to examine witnesses, the admissibility of testimonies by anonymous witnesses and the examination of the three-stage test, and gives concluding remarks.Publishe

The Contribution of Victor Zaslavsky to the Study of Soviet-type Societies
No full textU ovom članku se razmatra doprinos Viktora Zaslavskog proučavanju društava sovjetskog tipa. Istovremeno, njegov doprinos se postavlja u intelektualni kontekst sovjetologije 1970-ih. Tvrdimo da je intimno poznavanje sovjetskog sistema autoru omogućilo da prevaziđe ograničenja totalitarnih, modernizacijskih i interesno-grupnih pristupa proučavanju sovjetske politike. Srž originalnog doprinosa Zaslavskog je u razvoju niza novih pojmova koje je primenio na proučavanje Brežnjevljevog „realnog socijalizma”: neostaljinistička država, organizovani konsenzus, radnici zavisni od države, zatvorena preduzeća, unutrašnji pasoški sistem. Uz pomoć ovih pojmova Zaslavski je mogao da osvetli razne karakteristike zrelog sovjetskog društva uspešnije od zastupnika drugih pristupa.The author assesses the contribution of Victor Zaslavsky to the study of soviettype societies. Zaslavsky’s contribution is also positioned in the intelectual context of sovietology in the 1970’s. The author claims that Zaslavsky’s intimate knowledge of the Soviet system had enabled him to go beyond the limitations of the totalitarian, modernisation and interest-group based approaches to the study of Soviet politics. The crux of Zaslavsky’s original contribution is his development of new concepts which he applied to the study of Brezhnyev’s “real socialism”, such as neostalinist state, state dependent workers, closed enterprises, internal passport system. With the help of these concepts Zaslavsky was more successful in throwing light on the characteristcs of the mature soviet type societies than the proponents of other approaches
