Rad se dijeli na dva osnovna dijela. U prvom dijelu analizira se šest osnovnih
označitelja s pomoću kojih se oblikuje postojeći značenjski okvir identifikacije Velebitske
primorske padine u javnom ...znanju i imaginaciji suvremena hrvatskog društva. To su:
nadmoć prirodnih sila; dubinsko siromaštvo; ekstremni ergonomijski (radni) tlak; tehnička
konzervativnost mjesnog društva; slaba socijalna gustoća; rasutost razvojnog subjekta
područja. Kada se ta obilježja promatraju međusobno svezano, dobiva se semiotični
"portret" područja ne samo bez valjane razvojne budućnosti nego i područja za razvoj
funkcionalno nesposobna. Stoga se u drugom dijelu rada aktualizira pitanje o uporištima
revitalizacije područja. Koristi se pojam: revitalizacija, jer se njome teži naznačiti kako
je mjesno društvo, odgovarajućim praksama revitalizacije potrebno tek pripremiti za
aktivni/autonomni razvitak. Na tom se tragu analizira šest osnovnih uporišta (moguće)
revitalizacije. To su: promjena javne predodžbe o subjektu mjesnog razvitka; nova
kulturna strategija u odnosu na područje; definicija nove funkcionalne vrijednosti područja
na nacionalnoj razini; (re)valorizacija prometne cjelovitosti područja; oblikovanje
gospodarske strukture relativno neovisne o prirodnoj osnovi područja; izgradnja mreže
razvojnih institucija. Svako spomenuto uporište počiva na svojevrsnim "snopovima"
posebnih praksa koje ga sadržajno diferenciraju. No bitno je, pri tomu, podsjetiti kako
se skiciranim revitalizacijskim pristupom sugerira međusobna povezanost socio/kulturnih
promjena, promjena u gospodarskoj politici i politici. infrastrukture te u izgrađivanju
specifične mreže razvojnih ustanova. Ili, drugačije rečeno, po srijedi je područje gdje se
klasičnim "sektorskim" pristupom mjesnom razvitku ne će postići očekivani rezultati.
The paper is divided into two basic parts. In the first part the six basic identifiers are analysed with the help of which the existing meaningful framework is formed of the identification of Velebit ...littoral hillside in the public consciousness and imagination of contemporary Croatian society. They are: the supremacy of natural forces; deep poverty; extreme ergonomic (working) pressure; the technical conservatism of the local society; poor social density; the diffusion of the developmental subject of the region. When these features are observed mutually bound a semiotic ‘portrait’ of a region is obtained not only without a valid developmental future but also of a region functionally incapable of development. Therefore in the second part of the paper the question about the mainstays of the revitalisation of the region is actualised. The term used is: revitalisation, because with it, it wishes to point out, with the corresponding practices of revitalisation, how necessary it is to prepare the local society for active/autonomous development. In this search six basic (possible)mainstays of revitalisation are analysed. They are: a change in the public’s notion of the subject of local development; a new cultural strategy in relation to the area; a definition of the new functional value of the area on a national level; the (re)valorisation of the transport integrity of the area; the formation of an economic structure relatively independent from the natural base of the area; theconstruction of a network of developmental institutions. Each mentioned mainstay rests on kinds of bundles of special practices which differentiate it substantively. However, it is important, therein,to recall how with an outlined approach of revitalisation the interpersonal connectivity of socio/cultural changes is suggested, changes in the economic policy and the policy of the infrastructure,and in the constructing of the specific network of the developmental institutions. Or, to put it a different way, it concerns an area where with a classic ‘sectoral’ approach to local development the expected results will not be achieved.
Brown tumours are rare bone lesions occurring in patients with severe hyperparathyroidism (HPT) because of increased osteoclastic activity due to high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). We report ...the case of 30-year-old woman with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to severe chronic kidney diseases who underwent 18FF-choline PET/CT scan for localization of the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland before surgical treatment. 18FF-choline PET/CT scan showed increased choline uptake in the lower left parathyroid gland and in multiple bone lytic lesions. Multiple focal choline uptake in bone corresponded to brown tumours - fibrous osteitis cystica.
In the text the author investigates how and to what extent the concept of considerate/sustainable development is culturally founded. In the first part the author analyses the basic definition of ...considerate/sustainable development and indicates that many objections could be directed at it from the viewpoint of importance of the way in which cultural ideas participate in shaping society. The author demonstrates that the idea of considerate/sustainable development lacks several determinants necessary for such activity. For example, it is not clear as to how future generations are autonomously represented; how the social time of transition from present to future is formed; the idea implies prejudice towards the linear connection between the present and future; finally, it reinforces the currently existing society in the role of monopolistic supervisor and social creator of future generations.
The author is exploring the role of science in three periods of Croatian modernisation. In the first period (until 1940) it is the author's opinion that scientific policy is not an autonomous ...activity, but is practised in a broader framework of cultural modernisation. Based on this, (one) national university was established and (one) national academy of sciences and arts. Scientific policy as a form of cultural
modernisation is powered by two fundamental goals: (i) the elimination of basic illiteracy; (ii) the formation of national intelligentsia and identity. The third goal appears only as a marginal one: the shaping of groups with specialist technical education. In the second period (1945-1991) the main directions of scientific policy are continued. However, due to the establishment of industrial and urban reality, a new, autonomous, challenger of scientific policy is formed. This is, according to the author, a new specific reality, described by the syntagm: technical society.
The paper analyses the role of the Croatian Military as a factor of development. The analysis draws on previous theoretical considerations and empirical research on the social role of the military, ...particularly the functional transformation of contemporary militaries. Despite "sector"
limitations, it is clear that the "postmodern military" engages in new types of tasks, thus broadening those "traditional" ones. There are several specific fields which the Croatian military can participate in as a factor of development: the field of education, economic development, and the field of
local development and environmental protection. In this paper the focus is on aspects of 432 local development and environmental protection as specific areas which are estimated as having a potential to develop successfully within the framework of civil-military cooperation. Analysed were
the results of empirical research of the attitudes of the Croatian public regarding these issues. The topics that the examinees expressed their attitudes on were: acceptability of certain tasks, assessment of the previous influence of the Croatian Armed Forces on social development, opinions about budget expenditure, as well as management of military buildings. Although the examinees have assessed with relative difficulty the developmental role of the military,
based on research it can be stated that they are aware of the functional transformation of the military. In other words, the public both accepts and expects that the Croatian Military will adjust to its new "non-combat" roles.
