DIRECTIONS OF REFORM OF THE INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE OF ADMINISTRATIVE JUDICIARY IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
No full textCilj je ovoga rada razmotriti je li Hrvatskoj potrebna institucionalna reforma upravnosudskog sustava te koje alternative Hrvatskoj stoje na raspolaganju odluči li se za ovu reformu. Rad je podijeljen u pet dijelova. Nakon uvodnog dijela u kojem autor općenito problematizira o važnosti sudskog nadzora zakonitosti rada uprave i upravnog spora, analizira se stanje institucionalnog ustroja upravnog spora u Hrvatskoj danas. Zatim se razmatraju modeli ustroja upravnog spora u nekim europskim državama te se nastoji utvrditi postoji li jedinstveni europski model institucionalnog ustroja upravnog sudstva. Slijedi prikaz mogućih reformskih alternativa ukoliko se Hrvatska za takvu reformu odluči. U zaključku, autor sumira analiziranu problematiku te modele njezinog mogućeg prevladavanja.The aim of this paper is to examine whether Croatia needs institutional reform of the administrative judicial system and which alternatives Croatia has at its disposal if it decides upon this reform. This paper is divided into fi ve parts. After the introductory part, in which the author generally problematises the importance of judicial supervision of the legality of the work of administration and administrative dispute resolution, the state of the institutional structure of administrative dispute resolution in Croatia today is analysed. Then, organisational models of administrative dispute resloution in certain European countries are considered and an attempt is made at trying to establish whether a unitary European model of institutional organisation of administrative judiciary exists. An analysis of possible reform alternatives follows in so far as Croatia decides on such reform. In the conclusion, the author summarises the analysis of the problem areas and models of its possible prevalence
MEĐUNARODNO PRAVO I DOZVOLJENOST UPOTREBE ATOMSKOG ORUŽJA
No full textAuthor in paper work is analyzing allowing usage of atomic arm from view point of valid international law. Beside a few examples of first violating war habits and condemnation of those violations, author is leading as to a new problematic pointing out on actual questions that he is considering. In a second part he is considering sort and effects of atomic arm, and also damage of his usage on men. In addition, in next part he is analyzing permission of usage from a point of view of common law principles acknowledge by the civilized nations and international contracts. In fourth part he is reviewing on the positions in theory and exposing them to criticism. Finally is summing up positions and conclusions considering that beside some very rare exception (more hypothetic than improvable in practice ) usage of atomic arm should be considering forbidden from a point of view of valid international law. Author is also considering very useful bringing explicit decree which will put out of action usage of atomic arm.Autor u radu analizira dozvoljenost upotrebe atomskog oružja sa stanovišta važećeg medjunarodnog prava. Pored nekoliko primera prvih kršenja ratnih običaja i osude tih krsenja autor nas uvodi u problematiku ukazujuci na aktuelnost pitanja koja razmatra. U drugom delu razmatra vrste i dejstva atomskog oružja kao i štetnost njegove upotrebe na čoveka. Zatim u narednom delu analizira dozvoljenost upotrebe sa stanovišta opstih pravnih načela priznatih od strane civilizovanih naroda i medjunarodnih ugovora. U četvrom delu osvrće se na stavove u teoriji i podvrgava ih kritici. Na kraju sumira dotadašnje stavove i zaključke smatrajući da sem nekog veoma retkog izuzetka (vise hipotetickog nego ostvarljivog u praksi) upotrebu atomskog oruzja treba smatrati zabranjeno sa stanovista vazeceg medjunarodnog prava. Autor takodje smatra da bi de lege ferenda trebalo eksplicitno isključiti svaku upotrebu atomskog oružja
Cultural rights in the case-law of the European court of human rights
No full textAutor u radu nastoji da prikaže razvoj kulturnih prava u praksi Evropskog suda za ljudska prava (u daljem tekstu kao: ESLJP). Nakon uvodnih razmatranja u kojima se ističe slaba razvijenost, ali i sve veći značaj ove grupe ljudskih prava, u nastavku se vrši analiza normativnog okvira kulturnih prava u pravnom sistemu Saveta Evrope. Nakon toga, autor istražuje praksu ESLJP u oblasti kulturnih prava, posebno imajući u vidu najznačajnije presude koje je Sud doneo vezane za pravo na obrazovanje, pravo na učestvovanje u kulturnom životu i slobodu umetničkog stvaralaštva. Potom se u nastavku rada bavi analizom pravne prirode presuda ESLJP u oblasti kulturnih prava. Na kraju, autor sumira značaj presuda Suda, kao i njegovu ulogu u daljem unapređenju kulturnih prava.In this paper,the author tries to show the development of cultural rights in the practice of the European Court of Human Rights. The introduction first emphasizes poor development but also the increasing importance of this group of human rights. The paper then analyzes the normative framework of cultural rights in the Council of Europe's legal system. Thereafter, the author examines the ECHR practice in the field of cultural rights, especially in light of the most significant judgments the Court has made regarding the right to education,the right of access to culture, and the right to artistic expression. The paper then analyzes the legal nature of the ECHR judgments in the field of cultural rights. At the end of this paper, the author summarizes the importance of the Court's judgments, as well as its role in furthering cultural rights
Carl Schmitt's Critique of Modernity and Vision of Global Order
No full textAutorica tematizira teorijski opus njemačkog pravnog i političkog mislioca Carla Schmitta. Pregledom njegovih djela kao što su Rimsko katoličanstvo i politički oblik, Doba neutralizacija i depolitizacija, Pojam političkoga itd. autorica sumira Schmittov kritičan stav prema razdoblju modernosti te njegov potencijalni odgovor na moderne političke i društvene izazove koji ide onkraj političkih ideologija liberalizma i socijalizma. Schmittova kritika modernosti povezuje se s njegovom vizijom globalnog poretka kako bi se dobio obuhvatan pregled Schmittovog teorijskog okvira koji bi bio primjenjiv u globaliziranom svjetskom poretku. Teza koju rad nastoji dokazati na ovaj način jest da Schmittova politička teorija u svojoj konzervativnosti i dalje predstavlja koristan alat u promatranju suvremenih političkih i društvenih odnosa, posebice u vremenu kada se sve više govori o „krizi modernosti“ i postmodernom globalnom poretku. Schmittov doprinos političkoj teoriji tako se povezuje sa suvremenim političkim fenomenima kao što su politike identiteta i rat protiv terora.The author discusses the theoretical work of the German legal and political thinker Carl Schmitt. By reviewing his works, such as Roman Catholicism and Political Form, The Age of Neutralization and Depoliticization, The Concept of the Political, etc., the author summarizes Schmitt's critical attitude towards the modern period and his potential response to modern political and social challenges beyond the political ideologies of liberalism and socialism. Schmitt’s critique of modernity is linked to his vision of a global order, in order to obtain a comprehensive overview of Schmitt’s theoretical framework that would be applicable in a globalized world order. The thesis that the paper seeks to prove in this way is that Schmitt's political theory in its conservatism continues to be a useful tool in observing contemporary political and social relations, especially at a time when there is increasing talk of the "crisis of modernity" and the postmodern global order. Schmitt’s contribution to political theory is thus linked to contemporary political phenomena such as identity politics and the war on terror
PROGANJANJE – TEORIJSKI PREGLED
No full textIn recent years, the criminal offence of stalking has drawn considerable attention of scientific and professional public. Stalking has been recognized as a criminal offence and a serious social problem since the 1990s. Before that, no state or society had statutes that recognized stalking as a criminal offence. It does not suggest that stalking did not exist before the 1990s. Stalking has always been part of human relations. Prior to enacting the legislation on stalking, many forms of unlawful behavior indicative of stalking were legally considered as harassment. Notably, the media portrayal of celebrity stalking was the catalyst that first exposed the presence of such intrusive behavior and triggered global interest. Based on the prior research on stalking, the author of this paper provides an overview of the criminal offence of stalking, outlines the primary arguments for its incrimination, and summarizes its principle characteristics.Poslednjih godina sve veću pažnju naučne i stručne javnosti privlače slučajevi proganjanja. On je prepoznato kao zločin i kao ozbiljan društveni problem devedestih godina. Pre toga, nijedna država, društvo nije inkriminalo proganjanje kao krivično delo. To ne znači da proganjanje nije postojalo. Meloj smatra da je proganjanje oduvek postojalo u društvu među ljudima. Pre donošenja zakona koji proganjanje propisuju kao krivično delo, mnoga ponašanja koja predstavljaju proganjanje su smatrana uznemiravanjem. Zanimljivo je da je medijski portret proganjanja poznatih ličnosti bio katalizator koji je prvo otkrio postojanje ovog ponašanja i rasplamsao globalnu pažnju. Autor u ovom radu daje pregled šta se smatra proganjanje, iznosi argumente za njegovu inkriminaciju kao krivičnog dela i sumira najvažnije karakteristike do kojih se došlo na osnovu sprovedenih istraživanja
Ugovor iz Lisabona – institucionalna reforma Evropske unije
No full textThe paper deals with the Treaty signed at the European Council conference in Lisbon on 13th of December 2007. This reform Treaty, representing the consensus of twenty seven member states, introduces modifcations both to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community. The solutions proposed by the Lisbon Treaty are mostly taken from the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.
After introductory notes with regard to the ratifcation procedures adopted by each member state, the author analyses the reasons for the EU reform. During the last decade, the European Union is facing challenges such as: enlargement of the European Union, democratisation of the functioning of EU institutions and strengtening of the EU external position. In the frst part of the paper, the author analyses the articles of the Lisbon Treaty devoted to the adjustment of the institutional functioning to the EU enlargement such as: distribution of electoral mandates in EU Parliament, composition of EU Commission and new voting rule at the Council of Ministers to facilitate the decision making. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the democratization of European Union which should be reached by strenghtening of the role played by the Europen Parliament, raising the transparence of the functioning of the institutions, increasing the role of the national parliaments and creating the right of citizens’ initiative. In the third part the author analyses the clauses of the Lisbon Treaty related to the the strenghtening of EU external position which would be achieved by creating the post of High representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy who becomes also the Commission’s Vice-President, providing EU with a legal status and progressing towards a European Defence Policy.
Within the concluding observations, the author sums up presented observations and especially emphasizes the importance of the EU reform in order to adapt the EU functioning to the modifed circumstances on the internal and international level as well.Rad je posvećen Ugovoru potpisanom na konferenciji u Lisabonu 13. decembra 2007. godine. Ovim ugovorom, koji predstavlja konsenzus dvadeset sedam država članica Evropske unije, predviđene su izmene i dopune Ugovora o osnivanju Evropske unije i Ugovora o Evropskim zajednicama. Većina odredaba Ugovora iz Lisabona preuzeta je iz Predloga ugovora o Ustavu Evropske unije.
Nakon uvodnih napomena o načinima ratifkacije koje su predvidele države članice, autor analizira razloge za institucionalnu reform Evropske unije. Tokom poslednje decenije, Evropska unija suočava se sa političkim izazovima kao što su: porast broja država članica Unije, zahtev za demokratizacijom načina funkcionisanja institucija i neophodnost jačanja položaja Evropske unije na međunarodnom planu. U prvom delu rada autor analizira odredbe Ugovora iz Lisabona kojima se način rada institucija usklađuje sa povećanjem broja država članica. Odredbe se odnose na preraspodelu mandata u Evropskom parlamentu, sastav Komisije i izmenjeni način donošenja odluka u Savetu ministara. Drugi deo rada posvećen je demokratizaciji Evropske unije koja se postiže povećanjem ovlašćenja Evropskog parlamenta, transparentnošću rada institucija, jačanjem uloge nacionalnih parlamenata i uvođenjem prava inicijative za evropske građane. U trećem delu rada autor ispituje novine predložene Ugovorom koje se odnose na položaj Evropske unije kao aktera na međunarodnoj sceni. Ugovorom iz Lisabona predviđeno je sjedinjenje funkcije Visokog predstavnika Evropske unije za spoljnu politiku i bezbednost sa funkcijom potpredsednika Evropske komisije, priznanje svojstva pravnog lica Evropskoj uniji i začeci Zajedničke evropske odbrambene politike.
U okviru zaključnih razmatranja, autor sumira izneta zapažanja i ističe neophodnost reforme kako bi Evropska unija, uprkos izmenjenoj situaciji, na unutrašnjem i na međunarodnom planu, mogla da nastavi da funkcioniše
Crosstalk between long noncoding RNA and microRNA in Cancer
No full textFunding Information: We thank Aalto University for providing open-access support. NP would like to acknowledge Finnish cultural foundation (Varsinais-Suomi regional fund.) Publisher Copyright: © 2023, The Author(s).miRNAs and lncRNAs play a central role in cancer-associated gene regulations. The dysregulated expression of lncRNAs has been reported as a hallmark of cancer progression, acting as an independent prediction marker for an individual cancer patient. The interplay of miRNA and lncRNA decides the variation of tumorigenesis that could be mediated by acting as sponges for endogenous RNAs, regulating miRNA decay, mediating intra-chromosomal interactions, and modulating epigenetic components. This paper focuses on the influence of crosstalk between lncRNA and miRNA on cancer hallmarks such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition, hijacking cell death, metastasis, and invasion. Other cellular roles of crosstalks, such as neovascularization, vascular mimicry, and angiogenesis were also discussed. Additionally, we reviewed crosstalk mechanism with specific host immune responses and targeting interplay (between lncRNA and miRNA) in cancer diagnosis and management.

KNOWLEDGE OF NURSING STUDENTS ABOUT PREMATURE BORN CHILDREN
No full textPrijevremenim porođajem najčešće se smatra završetak trudnoće između 20. i 37. navršenogtjedna (140 – 259 dana), neovisno o porođajnoj težini ili duljini. Za razliku od donošenog novorođenčeta, nedonošče se teže prilagođava na vanmaternični život zbog svoje anatomske i fiziološke nezrelosti. Budući da nezrela gestacijska dob utječe na različite organske sustave, nedonoščad je izložena riziku od dugotrajnijeg medicinskog morbiditeta i nepovoljnih neurorazvojnih ishoda. Pravovremeno uočavanje rizičnih čimbenika prijevremenog porođaja te odgovarajuća prenatalna skrb vode smanjenju perinatalnih posljedica. Završni rad obuhvaća istraživanje, odnosno anketu koja je bila provedena od strane autora završenog rada tijekom srpnja i kolovoza 2023. godine u kojem je sudjelovalo 110 ispitanika. Istraživanje je provedeno među studentima prijediplomskog studija sestrinstva na FZSRI, a cilj istraživanja je bio ispitati znanje studenata prijediplomskih studija sestrinstva FZSRI o nedonoščadi u ovisnosti o spolu, završenom srednjoškolskom obrazovanju, godini studija te načinu studiranja. Temeljem toga, postavljene su četiri hipoteze. Po završetku istraživanja, provela se statistička obrada zaprimljenih odgovora za svako postavljeno pitanje u aketnom upitniku, a po završetku analize, autor iznosi zaključak gdje sumira najvažnija saznanja o navedenoj tematici te prihvaća tri od četiri postavljene hipoteze, a na temelju njih iznose se zaključci o utjecaju pojedinog sociodemografskog indikatora na kvalitetu znanja studenata preddiplomskog studija Sestrinstvo (spol, završeno srednjoškolsko obrazovanje, godina i vrsta studija), na temelju čega autor u završnom dijelu rada iznosi vlastita obrazloženja, smjernice i preporuke za dalje.Premature birth is most often considered to be the end of pregnancy between the 20th and37th completed week (140-259 days), regardless of family weight or length. Unlike a full-term newborn, a premature baby has a harder time adapting to extrauterine life due to its anatomical and physiological immaturity. Because immature gestational age affects various organ systems, preterm infants are at risk for longer-term medical morbidity and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Timely detection of risk factors for premature birth and appropriate prenatal care lead to reduced perinatal consequences.The final paper includes research, i.e. a survey conducted by the author of the completed paper during July and August 2023, in which 110 respondents participated. The research was conducted among under graduate nursing students at FZSRI, and the aim of the research was to examine the knowledge of undergraduate nursing students at FZSRI about prematurity depending on gender, completed high school education, year of study and method of study. Based on that, four hypotheses were put forward. At the end of the research, statistical processing of the answers received for each question in the survey questionnaire was carried out, and after the analysis, the author presents a conclusion where he summarizes the most important knowledge on the mentioned topic and accepts three of the four hypotheses, and based on them, conclusions are drawn about the impact. Individual socio-demographic indicator on the quality of knowledge of undergraduate nursing students (gender, completed high school education, year and type of study), on the basis of which the author presents his own explanations, guidelines and recommendations for the future in the final part of the paper
