EDUCATION AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SUBSTRUCTION ON THE PATH TO KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY
Full text linkLisabonskom su agendom zemlje Europske unije svojim ciljem razvoja do 2010. godine definirale postizanje najveće konkurentnosti i postajanje društvom znanja. Ovako definirani ciljevi su varijabla jer su nekima, prije svega razvijenim zemljama EU15 već sada standard, drugima su realna perspektiva dok su nekima čista utopija. Jednim od najznačajnijih stupova za postizanje ovoga cilja smatra se obrazovanje. U Hrvatskoj je započeo proces prilagodbe obrazovnog procesa koji zahtijeva temeljnu promjenu u procesu mišljenja i prijelaz s klasičnih «adaptivnih» modela utemeljenih na primanju informacija, na «stvaralačke» modele učenja činjenjem i stalnim povećavanjem svojih sposobnosti za stvaranje svoje budućnosti. Prepreka na ovome putu mogu biti roditelji i nastavnici koji su u vremenu digitalnog rascjepa zadržali tržišnu i vlasničku orijentaciju svojstvenu industrijskom društvu i time postali nekompetentni za rješavanje problema i kreiranje budućnosti svoje informacijski, mrežno i pristupom orijentirane djece.The aim of the Lisbon Agenda for the countries of the European Union is to achieve the highest competence and to become knowledge-driven society by 2010.The goals defined this way are a variable because in some developed countries of EU15 they have already become the standard, for the others they are real perspective, whereas for some they are pure utopia. Education is considered to be one of the most important pillars to achieve this goal. The adjustment of education process has already started in Croatia. It calls for fundamental change in the process of thinking and shifting from classic “adaptive” models based on receiving information to more “creative” models of learning by improving the abilities to create better future. The obstacle in this course may be the parents and teachers, who in the era of digital gap have kept market and owner orientation, the characteristic of industrial society, thus becoming incompetent to solve the problems and create the future of their computer and network oriented children
PROFILING OF THE WORKING-AGE POPULATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA TOWARD ATTITUDES ABOUT WORK AND CAREER
Full text linkThere are many definitions of market segmentation - strategy of dividing a broad target of population into subsets who have, or are perceived to have, common needs, interests, and priorities, and then designing and implementing strategies to target them. Traditional segmentation variables are demographic variables, such as gender, age, income, education. They can be used to explain the characteristics of the segments, however, they cannot identify the complete characteristics of the segments because it is proven that population in the same socio-demographic group can have very different psychographic profile. Due to the criterion variable, different segmentation can be used for creating profiles, such as geographic, behavioural, psychographic, occasional, segmentation by benefits, cultural segmentation. Still, demographic segmentation is dominant in most fields and disciplines where there is need for understanding different subgroups within population. Profiling of population based on segmentation model can be used much wider than in business and marketing. Understanding population and their perception is crucial in law, primarily when decisions, which will “regulate” the lives of certain population, have to be made. This paper examines profiles of the working-age population in The Republic of Croatia toward attitudes about work and career, which means that this study discusses demographic variables as output (profile description), not input (criteria variable). Aim of this paper was not only to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the key concepts related to the non-demographic segmentation, but to help in creating a clearer picture of Croatia’s population on attitudes on work and career. Analysis of Croatia’s population was done using backdate of 4 research waves through 2 years, two waves per year for years: 2010 and 2014. Year 2014 was in the focus of analysis and 2010 was used for comparison and time change detection
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Primjena marketinga u jedinicama lokalne uprave s osvrtom na Grad Požegu
No full textLokalna samouprava kao civilizacijska tekovina teorijski je i praktično
sastavnica svih suvremenih demokratskih političkih sustava u svijetu, razina vladavine najbliskija građanima, s ulogom predstavljanja važnosti i stajališta lokalnog.
Prema Ustavnim odredbama jedinice lokalne samouprave su gradovi i općine.
Lokalna je vlast ustrojena putem predstavničkih, izvršnih i upravnih tijela te mjesne samouprave, što znači da se pravo građana na lokalnu samoupravu ostvaruje preko lokalnih predstavničkih tijela koja su sastavljena od članova izabranih na slobodnim i tajnim izborima, na temelju neposrednoga, jednakog i općeg biračkog prava.
Temeljem Zakona o lokalnoj i regionalnoj (područnoj) samoupravi načelo autonomija jedinice lokalne samouprave ostvaruje se njihovim statutom, gdje one u okviru zakona imaju mogućnost da samostalno urede unutarnje ustrojstvo i djelokrug svojih tijela prilagode lokalnim potrebama i mogućnostima.
Najveći dio poslova jedinica lokalne samouprave pripada skupini društvenih djelatnosti, pa kako je riječ o razmjenskom odnosu između jedinica lokalne samouprave i građana nameće se logičnost primjene marketinga, ponajprije društvenog marketinga.
U jedinicama lokalne samouprave, a napose u Gradu Požegi, bila bi logična primjena marketinga kao suvremenog načina poslovanja koji se temelji na utvrđivanju ljudskih potreba i načinu njihovu zadovoljavanja. Na temelju istraživanja potreba stanovništva, grad Požega morao bi planirati takve aktivnosti koje će uz primjenu marketing-mixa (proizvod, cijena, distribucija, promocija) razviti takve investicije i poslove koji će najbolje zadovoljiti potrebe stanovništva. Treba imati na umu i činjenicu
da se potrebe i želje ljudi neprekidno mijenjaju i da prolaze različite etape životnog ciklusa
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
