Kriminologija maloljetničke delinkvencije: teorijski i metodički pristup, tijek školovanja, pojavni oblici poremećaja u ponašanju i osobnosti
No full textU radu se prikazuju rezultati kriminološkog istraživanja provedenog na uzorku 5.150 maloljetnih delinkvenata sankcioniranih u Republici Hrvatskoj u razdoblju od 1990. do 2002. godine, u odnosu na tijek školovanja i poremećaje u ponašanju ispitanika. Istraživanje je potvrdilo da su poremećaji tijeka školovanja u multikauzalnom i dinamičkom odnosu s brojnim teškoćama kojima je odrastanje maloljetnih delinkvenata opterećeno, pa njihovo tretiranje izravno vodi prevenciji delinkventnog i na druge načine društveno opasnog i individualno štetnog ponašanja. Od promatranih obilježja tijeka školovanja, tijekom osnovnoškolskog obrazovanja najčešće se javlja razlika između kronološke i obrazovne dobi, slijede ponavljanje razreda, bježanje iz škole i mijenjanje škole. Nešto slabije su zastupljeni prekidi školovanja i napuštanje školovanja. Analiza obilježja tijeka školovanja ispitanika koji su obuhvaćeni srednjoškolskim obrazovanjem, pokazala je da sva promatrana obilježja školovanja tijekom srednjoškolskog obrazovanja karakteriziraju najmanje svakog petog ispitanika. U odnosu na osnovnoškolsko obrazovanje, tijekom srednjoškolskog obrazovanja češće dolazi do bježanja iz škole, prekida školovanja i napuštanja škole. Autori stoga zaključuju da se poremećaji tijeka školovanja maloljetnih delinkvenata u pravilu javljaju već tijekom osnovnoškolskog obrazovanja, da fenomenologija poremećaja tijeka školovanja u osnovnoj i srednjoj školi ima različita obilježja, te da s vremenom dolazi do kumuliranja većeg broja poremećaja tijeka školovanja. Na višim stupnjevima obrazovanja poremećaji tijeka školovanja maloljetnih delinkvenata, ako postoje, imaju teže posljedice i manje su postupni no što je to slučaj tijekom osnovnoškolskog obrazovanja. U dijelu istraživanja usmjerenom na analizu poremećaja u ponašanju ispitanika utvrđeno je da je među analiziranim obilježjima ponašanja najvećoj mjeri prisutno druženje s osobama asocijalnog ponašanja. Na drugom je mjestu ranija prijavljivanost zbog činjenja kaznenih djela. Slijede skitnja, pa neuroticizam i agresivnost. Posebno je važno naglasiti rezultat prema kojem više od polovice ispitanika iz našeg istraživanja u redovitom obrazovnom procesu ne završava srednju školu, što znači da ostaje bez osnovnih kvalifikacija za stjecanje nekog zanimanja. Upravo napuštanje obrazovnog procesa dovodi do većeg rizika za delinkventna ponašanja, jer se tim činom prekidaju veze s jednom od glavnih socijalizacijskih institucija koja proklamira prilagođavanje društvenim normama. Ujedno se oslobađa i veći prostor za djelovanje negativno selekcioniranih činitelja koji također pospješuju delinkventno ponašanje
The Singer or the Song? Developments in Performers' Rights from the Perspective of a Cultural Economist
No full textOver the last century, performers gradually acquired statutory protection of their economic and moral
rights. These rights are not copyright in the legal sense but neighboring rights and until recently, they
were mainly remuneration rights that are collectively administered. With the WPPT (WIPO
Performers and Phonograms Treaty), performers now have individual exclusive rights for digital
performances; this leads to the question: what has motivated this change – is it a change in the
perception of the value of performer or a change brought about by the changing technology of copying or,
indeed, a change that reflects different economic costs and benefits? The paper discusses the role of
copyright law as an incentive to performers and asks if the economic role of the performer is so different
from that of the author. The conclusion is that a complex interaction of the legal regulations, economic
conditions and institutional arrangements for administering these new rights will determine the outcome
Thermocapillary approaches to the deliberate patterning of polymers
No full textThe phenomenon of thermocapillarity, the response of fluids to thermal gradients due to thermal alteration of their surface tension, was first reported over a century ago. Since then, research has focused generally on either the fundamentals or mitigation of this effect during the processing of materials. Only in the past two decades has the deliberate use of thermocapillary forces for the patterning of polymers been actively pursued, either for the ordering of internal structure or the introduction of topographic features. This review seeks to highlight this work and further identify directions for further investigation. In particular, while thermocapillary forces are often inextricably bound to other mechanisms, there are emerging directions in the deliberate coupling of forces to improve the capabilities of each mechanism. Further, the applications of thermocapillary patterning to polymer-nanoparticle composites has recently provided another promising route to active architectures.Peer reviewed
