The evidence problem of late report of sexual abuse
No full textPreiskovalci spolnih zlorab se med samo preiskavo srečujejo s številnimi problemi. Najpogostejši problem je zbiranje dokazov, saj večina žrtev spolne zlorabe ne prijavi takoj po dejanju. Pri tem nastane problem, da se večina dokazov, ki bi jih preiskovalci dobili na telesu, predmetih žrtve ali storilca in na samem kraju dejanja, že uniči. Naslednji problem, s katerim se srečujejo preiskovalci, je ta, da osumljenec priznava spolni odnos, vendar trdi, da do njega ni prišlo proti volji žrtve.
V diplomskem delu se osredotočimo na posilstvo in spolno nasilje, ki ju opišemo v prvem delu naloge. Predstavimo predloge sprememb inkriminacije posilstva in spolnega nasilja po modelu soglasja ter nesoglasja. Srečamo se tudi z razlogi, zakaj spolnega nasilja žrtve ne prijavijo takoj po dejanju, z vplivom sekundarne viktimizacije in kakšni so tipi storilcev kaznivih dejanj spolnega nasilja ter posilstva. V osrednjem delu diplomske naloge se osredotočimo na preiskovanje posilstva in spolnega nasilja, kjer opisujemo prijavo spolne zlorabe, razgovor z žrtvijo ter zbiranje dokazov, katere še podrobneje opišemo. Opisujemo tudi informativni razgovor z osumljencem kaznivega dejanja spolnega nasilja in posilstva ter kakšne so metode za izsleditev domnevnega storilca, v kolikor ta ni znan. V nadaljevanju smo predstavili preiskovanje pozne prijave spolne zlorabe, kjer ni več možno pridobiti materialnih dokazov. Pri tem ima ključno vlogo razgovor z žrtvijo, ki ga podrobneje opišemo. Opišemo tudi razloge, zakaj do prijave prihaja pozno in ne takoj po spolni zlorabi in predstavimo tudi primere, kjer je bila kljub pozni prijavi podana pravnomočna obtožnica proti storilcem.Sexual abuse investigators face many problems during the investigation process. The most common problem is gathering of evidence, since many victims do not report sexual abuse immediately after the fact. This results in a problem – most of the evidence that the investigators could gather from the victim’s or perpetrator’s body or items and from the crime scene had already been destroyed. Another problem investigators face is that the suspect admits to having sexual intercourse, but claims that it had been mutually consensual.
The present diploma thesis focuses on rape and sexual violence. Both acts are described in the first part of the thesis. Presented are suggested amendments to criminalisation of rape and sexual violence based on consent or lack thereof. Also discussed are the reasons why sexual abuse victims do not report the crime immediately after the fact, the influence of secondary victimisation and the various types of perpetrators of sexual violence and rape. The central part of the thesis discusses rape and sexual violence investigationdetailed are the sexual abuse reporting process, victim interview, and gathering of evidence (in detail). Also described are the initial questioning of the suspect of the criminal offence of sexual violence and rape, as well as methods for tracking down the alleged perpetrator, if their identity is unknown. Furthermore, we present the process of investigating a late sexual abuse report, a situation in which material evidence can no longer be gathered. Described in detail is also the victim interview, a crucial step such cases. The thesis further details the reasons for late reports, as opposed to reports immediately after the act of sexual abuse and finally, the thesis presents cases in which the court’s final decision against the perpetrator has been made despite the late report
Models of playfulness in the literary work of Zvonimir Balog
No full textRad se bavi proučavanjem književnog opusa hrvatskog suvremenog dječjeg književnika Zvonimira Baloga, te analiziranjem prepoznatljivog književnikovog izričaja. Tematski se može podijeliti na tri dijela: Zvonimir Balog - biografija i bibliografija, modeli igrivosti u književnom opusu te analiza djela navedenog autora. U svrhu prepoznavanja i definiranja modela jezičnih igara analizirano je nekoliko najpoznatijih i najznačajnijih književnikovih djela, od romana, zbirki pjesama, slikovnica do dramskih djela. Književno-teorijskom i stilskom analizom utvrđena je pojavnost modela igrivosti u svim književnim vrstama. Najopširnije je analiziran roman Bosonogi general, kojeg Hranjec opisuje kao jedan od najboljih suvremenih dječjih hrvatskih romana. Djelo se svrstava među autobiografije, te je prožeto humorom. Dvostruko nagrađena zbirka Nevidljiva Iva sa stotinjak pjesama najavljuje jezičnu igru već naslovom, osamostaljivanjem dijelova riječi (nonsensnom izvedenicom). U zbirci Veseli zemljopis progovara o hrvatskim zemljopisnim pojmovima. Ostvaraji su viševrsni: ili težišna riječ pjesme sugerira osnovno značenje ili leksičke jedinice čine motive pjesme. Kao kod Nevidljive Ive, u zbirci Pusa od krampusa sam naslov djelomice pokriva sadržaj knjige, a sročen je tako da se dio riječi osamostaljuje i postaje nova riječ. Ja magarac pokazuje sve načine Balogovoga proznoga „smijanja jezikom“. U tom redanju nema stilske sustavnosti, klasificiranih načina, nego se želi iskazati spontanitet što je još jedno obilježje suvremene dječje književnosti. Slikovnica Male priče o velikim slovima dio je uobičajene lektire za najmlađe, a iz podnaslova zaključujemo da je riječ o abecednoj slikovnici. Iako u sjeni poezije i proznoga opusa, Balog je za svoga dugoga stvaralačkoga vijeka stvorio vrlo zanimljiv dramski opus u kojem se dijelom naslanja na vlastitu poetiku, ali i čini bitne i promišljenje odmake od nje. Općenito se Balog predstavlja kao pjesnik pa se zato njegova proza vrednuje sekundarnom, a dramski opus često ostaje nepoznat. No, zapravo, Balog svojom prozom potvrđuje poeziju, ne samo zato što svoje modele igrivosti seli iz jednog diskurza u drugi, nego što je time pokazao da nijedan književni rod nije zapreka za postignuće vrhunskih, ponajprije humornih književnih dometa.The paper deals with the study of literary works of contemporary Croatian children's author Zvonimir Balog and analyzing recognizable expression. Thematic is divided into three parts: Zvonimir Balog - biography and bibliography, models of playfulness in the literary work and the analysis of works of the above author. In order to identify and define the model of language games it was analyzed several best-known and most important works of writer,from novels, collections of poetry, picture books to the dramatic parts. Literary theoretical and stylistic analysis determined the incidence model playfulness in all literary forms. The most extensive analyzes is the novel Shoeless general, which Hranjec described as one of the best contemporary Croatian children's novel. The work is classified as autobiography, and is permeated with humor. Twice awarded the collection Invisible Iva with a hundred songs announces the language game already entitled, independence of parts of words. The collection Happy geography speaks of Croatian geographic terms. Achievements are multicrop: or the heavy word song suggests the basic meaning or lexical units make motives songs. As with Invisible Ive, the collection of Kiss of bogeyman title partially covers of a book, and is worded in such a way that part of the word independent as a new word. I donkey shows all the ways Balog prose "laughing tongue". In this imposition is no systematic stylistic classified ways, but is an expression of spontaneity which is another feature of contemporary children's literature. The picture book Small stories about big letters is part of the normal reading for children, andfrom the subtitle, we conclude that it is alphabetical picture book. Although in the shadow of poetry and prose works, Balog trought his long creative life has created a very interesting dramatic work in which the part rests on its own poetics, but also makes it essential and troughtful departure from it. Generally Balog is presented as a poet and therefore his prose evaluates the secondary, a dramatic work often remains unknown. But, actually, Balog with his prose confirms poetry, not only because of its models playfulness moves from one discourse to another, but the fact that inthat way he showed that no literary genre is not an obstacle for the achievement of top quality, above all humorous literary range
Medieval Townhouse in Križevci
No full textU Križevcima nije sačuvana profana arhitektura koja bi nedvojbeno ukazivala na srednjovjekovno podrijetlo. Autor je, polazeći od povijesnih podataka, urbanističke strukture i komparativne građe, prepoznao neke elemente koji argumentiraju pretpostavku o tome da pojedine, tipološki srodne, gradske kuće u Križevcima, uglavnom okupljene oko glavne gradske prometnice smjera sjever-jug, odražavaju izvornu srednjovjekovnu parcelaciju početka 15. stoljeća, a možda i raniju. U središtu zanimanja je prostor Donjeg grada, prostor koji se od 1405. godine nalazi unutar obruča bedema. Parcele na Gornjem gradu mnogo su šire, ‘komotnije ’ od onih u obzidanom gradu, te su ovdje građevinske promjene zatrle svaki trag tipologiji srednjovjekovne kuće. U Donjem gradu sačuvane su parcele koje su uz sve pregrađuje, koristeći optimalno dragocjen prostor branjen bedemom, sačuvale izvornu strukturu, te je nose ubilježenu kao neki urbanistički DNK, koji je nepromijenjiv.There is no preserved example of profane architecture in Križevci which would undoubtedly point to a medieval background. Based on historical data, urbanistic structure and comparative material, the author recognised the elements which support the thesis that certain typologically similar town houses in Križevci, mostly centred around the main city road (N-S direction), reflect the original medieval parcelling from the beginning of the 15th century, maybe earlier. The focus is on the Lower town area, which has been within the fortification ring since 1405. The Upper town parcels are much wider, more ‘comfortable’ than those in the fortified town, and many building changes have erased all traces of medieval houses. In Lower town there are parcels which, in spite of all the reconstructions, economically using the valuable space within the town walls, have kept the original structure and have it inscribed within themselves as a kind of urbanistic DNA, which is unchangeable.
The text is a slightly expanded extract form author’s earlier studies on urbanism in Križevci, especially: Balog 1998 and Balog 2003
Postmodernism in the children’s literature of Zvonimir Balog
No full textZvonimir Balog bio je autor velikog stvaralakog potencijala i neumorne stvaralačke aktivnosti, pisac i likovni umjetnik iza kojeg je ostalo više od pola stoljeća stvaranja. Stvaranje je za Baloga bio način postojanja. U književnost je zakoračio poezijom, ali je kasnije pisao i priče, romane, eseje, autobiografije, aforizme, dramske tekstove i scenarije. Stvaralački žar nagnao ga je da se okuša u gotovo svim literalnim žanrovima i vrstama. Objavio je više od šezdeset knjiga za djecu i odrasle, mnoge u brojnim ponovljenim izdanjima. Upravo su poezija i humor, uz igru, bitne značajke Balogova stvaralaštva. Potpuno slobodno i kroz igru Balog gradi i slaže, bilo riječi, slogove i glasove (elemente jezika), bilo likovne elemente, koje nerijetko pronalazi u stvarima iz prirode. U književnosti, kao i u likovnosti, Zvonimir Balog je stvorio prepoznatljiv umjetnički rukopis. Ujedno je i najnagrađivaniji hrvatski pisac za djecu i mladež. Više od četvrt stoljeća prisutan je u izboru obvezne školske lektire, zastupljen u svim pregledima hrvatske dječje književnosti te u brojnim čitankama, izborima i antologijama. Za književno djelo i ilustraciju primio je brojne domaće i inozemne nagrade. Stoga u suvremenoj hrvatskoj književnosti Zvonimir Balog ima izuzetno mjesto. Status suvremenog klasika kod kritike i publike postigao je bogatstvom, raznovrsnošću i originalnošću svoga opusa. Balogov postupak svodi se uglavnom na to da postiže komične, ironične, slikovite, maštovito fantastične efekte koji lako potiču intelektualnu igru. Najčešće se koristi pučkom etimologijom u tumačenju riječi i nonsensnu maštovitu analogiju u tvorbi riječi. Već iz samih naslova možemo iščitati kako se radi o šaljivom, vedrom i slobodnom pristupu pisanja, ali i pomalo neobičnom i nesvakidašnjem. Čitajući pjesme nailazimo na različita poigravanja riječima i novotvorenicama koje izazivaju začuđenost, smijeh, ali i želju za otkrivanjem značenja i smisla stila pjesme. Pjesnik je ostvario svojim djelima dječju perspektivu gledanja na svijet i na različite pojave u njemu, dječju maštariju i sanjarenja, radoznalost i zagonetnost. Zvonimir Balog u korpusu hrvatske dječje književnosti predstavlja izuzetnu pojavu, on je klasik jer je u toj književnosti donio novu poetiku, osuvremenio je tematski i izražajno, pokazao način kako ona mora postojati i opstati.Zvonimir Balog was the author of a great potential and untiring creative activity, a writer and a visual artist behind whom remained more than half a century of creation. Creating for Baloga was a way of existence. Literature began with poetry, but later wrote stories, novels, essays, autobiographies, aphorisms, dramas and scenarios. The creativity of the glow made him try out almost all literary streams and species. He has published more than sixty books for children and adults, many in more repeated editions. It is precisely poetry and humor, along with the game, that are essential features of Balog's creativity. Totally free and through Balog's game he builds up and agrees, words, slogans and voices (elements of language), any art elements that he often finds in things of nature. In the literature as well as in the art, Zvonimir Balog has created a recognizable artistic manuscript. He is also the most prized Croatian writer for children and young people. More than a quarter of a century is present in the choice of mandatory school lessons, represented in all the review of Croatian children's literature and in numerous reading books, elections and anthologies. He received numerous domestic and foreign awards for the literary work and illustrations. Therefore, in contemporary Croatian literature, Zvonimir Balog has an extraordinary pozition. The status of modern classics in critics and audiences has brought about the richness, variety and originality of their opus. Balog's approach is mainly to achieve comic, ironic, imaginative, imaginative fantasy effects that easily inspire an intellectual game. It is most often used in folk etymology in the interpretation of the word and the nonsense imaginative analogy in word formation. We can already read from the title itself that it is a humorous, clear and free approach to writing, but also a bit unusual and unusual. By reading the songs, we come across different types of play with words and newborns that cause both strangeness, laughter, and the desire to discover meaning and sense of song style. The poet achieved his childhood perspective of seeing the world and the various phenomena in it, children's fantasy and dream, curiosity and enigma. Zvonimir Balog, in the corpus of Croatian children's literature, is an exceptional phenomenon, he is a classic because he has brought new poetics in the literature, modernized thematively and expressively, demonstrated how it must exist and survive
Hourly forecast of solar radiation up to 48h with two runs of weather research forecast model over Italy
No full textGrowth and vast usage in renewable energy implies better hourly and daily planning for reliable and constant renewable energy distribution. In this sense, the forecast of renewable energy becomes more and more important. In this work, we used the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) to forecast solar radiation. We run two forecast simulations with WRF and WRF-Solar model. Models have been running on daily basis to forecast solar radiation up to 48h with hourly outputs. In this paper we elaborated one summer month of 2017 with both model forecasts compared with ground measured data for solar irradiance at one location in Italy (lat 42°02.5' North; lon 12°18.4' East). Both models represents in good manner global irradiance with RMSE for a selected maximum of a daily range of about 13% while direct (25%) and diffuse (40%) solar radiation obtained by models differ from measured values
The Meaning of Health in the Era of Value-based Care

This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License CC-BY 3.0., which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.In an era of value-based care, the practice of medicine and other health professions have been drawn to subjective, comprehensive and multidimensional views of health such as the World Health Organization (WHO) concept that defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This paper, through a philosophical analysis, demonstrates that health is not multidimensional and is a natural phenomenon. A philosophical discussion contends that health must realistically and logically reside in the person and this requires it to be a physical state. This paper also illustrates that, in the popular language of health, many times, health professionals: (1) inappropriately view health as a subjective human construct as opposed to viewing health as an objective phenomena, (2) confuse what is desired and valued as a good life with what is good health, and (3) fail to recognize the vital distinction between what affects health and what is health. A meaning of health is offered through several examples and arguments that demonstrate why health is a state of physical well-being or physical fitness that is defined by how well the body is functioning in accordance with its natural design and how well this natural design affords individuals the ability to achieve essential functional objectives of humans on the biological and person level.SUNY BrockportPublic Health and Health Education Faculty Publication

The Phenomenal Concept Strategy and a Master Argument
No full textThe phenomenal concept strategy (PCS) is widely regarded as the most promising physicalist defence against the so-called epistemic arguments—the anti-physicalist arguments that establish an ontological gap between physical and phenomenal facts on the basis of the occurrence of epistemic gaps in our descriptions of these facts. The PCS tries to undercut the force of the epistemic arguments by attributing the occurrence of the epistemic gaps to the special character of phenomenal concepts—the concepts by means of which we think about our phenomenal experiences. In this essay, the author examines David Chalmers\u27 master argument against the PCS and the objections raised against this argument by Peter Carruthers, Bénédicte Veillet and Katalin Balog in defending the PCS. While the author finds these objections to be successful defences of the PCS, the author shares Balog\u27s belief that in this regard, the debate between the physicalists and anti-physicalists is a stalemate
Ontologiczny związek pomiędzy kapłaństwem a celibatem?
No full textFor centuries, the nature of the Catholic priesthood has been and continues to be the subject of theological debate. Among other things, this article discusses the connection between celibacy and the sacrament of priesthood. Some theologians claim that there is an ontological connection between celibacy and ordination. This article examines such a claim, trying to answer the question: is celibacy really ontologically connected to priesthood and is there an ontological change in the person who receives this sacrament, which necessarily includes celibacy? Based on the analysis, the author concludes that priestly ordination cannot cause an ontological change in a person, and therefore, celibacy is not ontologically connected to ordination either.Natura kapłaństwa katolickiego była i jest przedmiotem dyskusji teologicznych od wieków. Rozważa się między innymi związek celibatu z sakramentem kapłaństwa. Niektórzy teologowie mówią o ontologicznym związku celibatu ze święceniami. Dany artykuł analizuje takie twierdzenie, próbując odpowiedzieć na pytanie: czy rzeczywiście celibat powiązany jest z kapłaństwem ontologicznie oraz czy dokonuje się ontologiczna zmiana w osobie przyjmującej ten sakrament, między innymi w postaci koniecznej bezżenności? Na podstawie przeprowadzonej analizy autor dochodzi do wniosku, że święcenia kapłańskie nie mogą wywoływać zmiany ontologicznej na człowieku, a więc celibat również nie jest ontologicznie ze święceniami połączony
