    The Periodicals Hrvatski jezik and Jezik The paper discusses the tradition of Croatian linguistic normative periodicals beginning with Ivšić’s periodical Hrvatski jezik and continued with Jezik, periodical for the culture of Croatian standard language. There is a description of the programme guidelines of both periodicals that are also recognized as the guidelines of modern Croatian linguistics: purity and regularity of the Croatian language, reliance on the tradition, appreciation of Croatian as a tridialectal language. Through the personalities of Ljudevit Jonke, Stjepan Babić and Sanda Ham as editors of Jezik, the paper discusses the strong Croatian editorial politics and the reactions of Croatian linguists on topical events in the language. This primarily means the resistance against unitarianist pressure which, in the times of Jonke and Babić, posed a great threat for the Croatian language. Furthermore, the paper deals with the important role of the periodical Jezik in forming the culture of Croatian standard language and shaping the relation of the Croatian cultural community and of Croatian general public towards the Croatian language

    The research leading to the results presented in this chapter has received funding from the Estonian Research Council (Institutional Research Grant IUT no. 2–17 on Spatial Population Mobility and Geographical Changes in Urban Regions); European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement no. 615159 (ERC Consolidator Grant DEPRIVEDHOODS, Socio-spatial Inequality, Deprived Neighbourhoods, and Neighbourhood Effects); and from the Marie Curie programme under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / Career Integration Grant no. PCIG10-GA-2011-303728 (CIG Grant NBHCHOICE, Neighbourhood Choice, Neighbourhood Sorting, and Neighbourhood Effects).Growing inequalities in Europe, even in the most egalitarian countries, are a major challenge threatening the sustainability of urban communities and the competiveness of European cities. Surprisingly, though, there is a lack of systematic representative research on the spatial dimension of rising inequalities. This is filled by our book project Socio-Economic Segregation in European Capital Cities: East Meets West, with empirical evidence from Amsterdam, Athens, Budapest, London, Madrid, Milan, Oslo, Prague, Riga, Stockholm, Tallinn, Vienna and Vilnius. This introductory chapter outlines the background to this international comparative research and introduces a multi-factor approach to studying socio-economic segregation. The chapter focuses on four underlying universal structural factors: social inequalities, global city status, welfare regime and housing system. Based on these factors, we propose a hypothetical ranking segregation levels in the thirteen case study cities. As the conclusions of this show, the hypothetical ranking and the actual ranking of cities by segregation levels only match partly; the explanation for this can be sought in context-specific factors which will be discussed in-depth in each of the case study chapters

    Tema su ovoga završnoga rada rasprave o Katičićevoj Sintaksi hrvatskoga književnog jezika. Sam rad podijeljen je u dva dijela. Prvi je dio kratki pregled hrvatskih sintaksa kao samostalnih knjiga kroz povijest, od Skladnje ilirskoga jezika Adolfa Vebera Tkalčevića do Katičićeve Sintakse (Ham, 2006.), te objašnjenje suodnosa Katičićeve Sintakse prema Priručnoj gramatici hrvatskoga književnog jezika. Drugi, glavni, dio rada odnosi se na same rasprave o Sintaksi. Naime, brojni hrvatski i srpski jezikoslovci pisali su kritike i prikaze o Sintaksi Radoslava Katičića te iznosili svoja slaganja ili neslaganja s njom, hvalili ili kudili i nekad jednako, a nekad potpuno različito tumačili. U radu ću prikazati nekoliko takvih različitih kritika i gledišta, a to su gledišta Marije Znike (1988.), Živojina Stanojčića (1988.), Ive Pranjkovića (1988.), Jasne Melvinger (1988.), Mislava Ježića (1988.), Istvana Nyomarkaya (1988.) i Stjepana Babića (1988.). Radom, prije svega, želim pokazati kako je Sintaksa izgledala u očima kritike, a kakvo značenje ima danas te pokazati njezinu sudbinu s obzirom na razdoblje u kojemu je nastala

    Remisi hukuman dan konstitusionalitas hukuman penjara seumur hidup di Seychelles

    No full text
    This article critically examines the legal framework surrounding life imprisonment in Seychelles, particularly in light of recent legislative and judicial developments. Historically, Seychelles' legal landscape allowed for the remittance of sentences for all prisoners except those serving life terms or convicted of severe drug offenses. Prior to 2021, ambiguity existed regarding whether life imprisonment necessitated incarceration for the entirety of an offender's life, leading to varied interpretations and inconsistent practices wherein some individuals were released after 15 to 20 years of imprisonment. This uncertainty was addressed by an important decision of the Seychelles Court of Appeal, which asserted that life imprisonment should indeed mean incarceration for the remainder of the convict's natural life. Subsequently, legislative amendments in 2021 codified this understanding within the Criminal Procedure Code, expressly defining life imprisonment as confinement for the duration of the offender's life. However, the article argues that such a statutory definition and practice may contravene fundamental human rights principles, particularly concerning human dignity and protection from inhuman or degrading treatment. Drawing on comparative jurisprudence from various African jurisdictions, decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, and standards articulated by international human rights bodies, the author contends that indefinite life imprisonment without the prospect of release violates prisoners' rights enshrined in international law. Furthermore, the author invokes the drafting history of Article 10(3) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), emphasizing that the intent behind the provision was to safeguard against overly punitive sentences that deny any possibility of rehabilitation or eventual release. This historical context, according to the article, supports the argument that Seychelles' current approach to life imprisonment undermines its obligations under international human rights norms. Moreover, the Constitution of Seychelles grants the President discretionary powers under Article 60 to commute sentences, theoretically enabling the release of individuals sentenced to life imprisonment. This aspect introduces a layer of executive discretion that intersects with constitutional principles and international human rights standards, warranting further examination and critique. In conclusion, the article posits that Seychelles' statutory definition of life imprisonment raises constitutional and human rights concerns, advocating for a reevaluation of current practices in light of international legal standards and principles of justice.Pasal 30 Seychelles Prisons Act menetapkan bahwa hukuman bagi semua narapidana, kecuali mereka yang dijatuhi hukuman penjara seumur hidup atau dihukum karena pelanggaran berat terkait narkoba, dapat diampuni. Pasal 31 Seychelles Prisons Act memberikan kewenangan kepada Pengawas untuk memberikan izin bebas bersyarat kepada narapidana. Sebelum tahun 2021, undang-undang Seychelles tidak membahas masalah apakah seseorang yang dijatuhi hukuman penjara seumur hidup harus menghabiskan sisa hidupnya di penjara. Akibatnya, narapidana yang dijatuhi hukuman penjara seumur hidup dapat dibebaskan setelah menjalani hukuman antara 15 dan 20 tahun. Tidak puas dengan pendekatan ini, Pengadilan Tinggi memutuskan bahwa hukuman penjara seumur hidup berarti hukuman penjara selama sisa hidup pelaku. Pada tahun 2021, KUHAP diubah untuk mendefinisikan hukuman penjara seumur hidup sebagai hukuman penjara selama sisa hidup pelaku. Pasal 60 Konstitusi memberi wewenang kepada Presiden untuk meringankan hukuman apa pun. Artinya, Presiden dapat menggunakan Pasal 60 untuk meringankan hukuman seumur hidup. Dalam artikel ini, penulis menggunakan data-data, antara lain, statistik dari Seychelles Prisons Service di mana Presiden telah menggunakan Pasal 60 sejak tahun 1999, yurisprudensi dari beberapa negara Afrika, European Court of Human Rights dan badan-badan hak asasi manusia internasional untuk menyatakan bahwa hukuman penjara seumur hidup sebagaimana didefinisikan dalam undang-undang Seychelles adalah inkonstitusional karena melanggar hak-hak narapidana atas martabat manusia dan tidak menjadi sasaran perlakuan yang tidak manusiawi dan merendahkan martabat. Penulis juga menggunakan sejarah penyusunan Pasal 10(3) Kovenan Internasional tentang Hak Sipil dan Politik untuk berpendapat, antara lain, bahwa hukuman penjara seumur hidup tanpa kemungkinan pembebasan bertentangan dengan kewajiban hak asasi manusia internasional Seychelles

    Trim17, novel E3 ubiquitin-ligase, initiates neuronal apoptosis

    No full text
    Accumulating data indicate that the ubiquitin-proteasome system controls apoptosis by regulating the level and the function of key regulatory proteins. In this study, we identified Trim17, a member of the TRIM/RBCC protein family, as one of the critical E3 ubiquitin ligases involved in the control of neuronal apoptosis upstream of mitochondria. We show that expression of Trim17 is increased both at the mRNA and protein level in several in vitro models of transcription-dependent neuronal apoptosis. Expression of Trim17 is controlled by the PI3K/Akt/GSK3 pathway in cerebellar granule neurons (CGN). Moreover, the Trim17 protein is expressed in vivo, in apoptotic neurons that naturally die during post-natal cerebellar development. Overexpression of active Trim17 in primary CGN was sufficient to induce the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in survival conditions. This pro-apoptotic effect was abolished in Bax(-/-) neurons and depended on the E3 activity of Trim17 conferred by its RING domain. Furthermore, knock-down of endogenous Trim17 and overexpression of dominant-negative mutants of Trim17 blocked trophic factor withdrawal-induced apoptosis both in CGN and in sympathetic neurons. Collectively, our data are the first to assign a cellular function to Trim17 by showing that its E3 activity is both necessary and sufficient for the initiation of neuronal apoptosis.

    U središtu je pozornosti ovoga rada sklonidbeni sustav u hrvatskom književnom jeziku u drugoj polovici 19. st; onaj sustav koji nudi zrela norma zagrebačke filološke škole, a u slovnicama svojih najznačajnijih slovničara -Antuna Mažuranića i Adolfa Vebera. Jezikoslovni je opis usmjeren prikazu sklonidbenog sustava u djelu pisca iz slavonskoga, a poglavito vinkovačkoga ozračja -Josipa Kozarca, suvremenika i poznavatelja norme zagrebačke filološke škole, ali i znalca slavonskih govora koji su mu naravnim jezičnim okružjem. Opisom se želi pokazati suodnos sklonidbenog sustava u onodobnom književnom jeziku i sklonidbenog sustava u slavonskom dijalektu, a na primjerima iz Kozarca. Takav će opis dati stvarnih podataka o tome koliko je u temeljima zagrebačke filološke škole novoštokavskoga sustava, a koliko je nenovoštokavskoga. Osim toga, Kozarčevi su primjeri posebice znakoviti jer zasigurno pokazuju i razvojni smjer književnomu jeziku koji je zacrtala zagrebačka škola, ali koji se ostvaruje tek u književnim djelima suvremenika, a kako će opis pokazati -u Kozarčevu je djelu taj ostvaraj posebne naravi.The author compares the declension system of the Croatian literary language in the 19th century with the language of the Zagreb Philological School and with the declension system of the Slavonian dialect exemplified by the work of Josip Kozarac. The neo-Štokavian/non-neo-Štokavian components of the declension system of the Zagreb Philological School are also described
