Dženderizam je novonastajući koncept koji se odnosi na glavnostrujašku politiku koja nameće pozitivan pogled na kulturu smrti kao što su kontracepcija, pobačaj i rodna ideologija. Prezentiran je ...kratak opis uzroka i razvoja ovog novog totalitarizma kao i njegove posebnosti. Njegovo širenje nastalo je u tri faze: seksualna revolucija, pravo na pobačaj i rodna teorija. Ustvrđeno je da će dženderizam, iako s potpuno drugačijim alatima i karakteristikama u odnosu na prijašnje totalitarizme, ipak imati, i već ima, razorne posljedice na društvo u cjelini. Ovaj rad podastire dokaze za smrtna ishodišta prouzročena širenjem dženderizma i upozorava na njegov golem udarac u budućnosti, ne samo na individue nego i na narode kao takve.

Rodna teorija razvila se unutar feminističkih i LGTB studija
sedamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, a poslije su ju prihvatile i
druge discipline iz humanističkoga i društvenog područja. Danas se
ona ...proučava kao interdisciplinarna znanost. Rodna teorija razvila
je sustav vrijednosti iz kojih proizlazi da spol kao biološka odrednica
nema značajnog utjecaja na rod, koji se stvara socijalizacijom
i kulturacijom, često uz prisilu patrijarhalnog društva. Rod je,
dakle, društveni konstrukt, a ne biološka danost. Ovaj rad iznosi
kritiku rodne teorije te pokazuje da rodna teorija nema uporišta u
empirijskoj znanosti, koja je nezaobilazni čimbenik u izučavanju
ljudske spolnosti.
The introduction of the Bologna process to Croatian Universities has resulted in many changes in course programmes. At the University of Zadar many areas of study from the fields of Humanities and ...Social Sciences have included obligatory courses in foreign languages. However, many students appear to lack enthusiasm and interest in their language classes. The aim of this paper was to understand student attitudes toward learning English for Specific Purposes (ESP) among first year university students who are non-language majors. The instrument used was a questionnaire whose results were subject to factor analysis. The results showed three subscales: firstly, attitude toward the teacher and evaluation method, secondly, attitude toward English, and thirdly, affective attitude toward learning English. It can be concluded that students generally had high results on all three subscales, that is, a positive attitude toward the teacher, evaluation method, and English as well as a positive affective attitude toward learning English.

Uvođenjem Bolonjskog procesa na hrvatska sveučilište došlo je do mnogih promjena u nastavnim programima. Na Sveučilištu u Zadru na mnogim odjelima humanističkog i društvenog smjera strani jezik je ...obavezan predmet. Ipak, izgleda da mnogi studenti ne pokazuju dovoljno entuzijazma niti interesa za strani jezik. Svrha ovog rada je bio razumjeti odnos studenata prve godine, čija studijska grupa nije strani jezik, prema učenju engleskog jezika struke. Koristila se anketa kao instrument istraživanja, a dobiveni rezultati su se podvrgli faktorskoj analizi. Rezultati su pokazali tri podgrupe: prvo, odnos prema nastavniku i metodi evaluacije, drugo, odnos prema engleskom, i treće, afektivni odnos prema učenju engleskog jezika. Može se zaključiti da su studenti općenito imali visoke rezultate u sve tri podgrupe, tj. pozitivan odnos prema nastavniku, metodi evaluacije, i engleskom jeziku, kao i pozitivni afektivni odnos prema učenju engleskog jezika.
The recent political, social and economic changes in Europe have had a great impact on higher education, in particular with regard to foreign language teaching at universities. This has resulted in ...an increased need for foreign language teaching at universities especially among non-philological studies. The expansion of new language centres has been a step forward in meeting the challenges of the Bologna Process and the emerging multilingual Europe. Language centres play an important role in second language learning especially in teaching foreign languages for specific purposes. However, they have not always been on equal terms with modern language departments and other non-linguistic departments. Language centre staff are often treated with mistrust, and misconception of their work is not uncommon. Several changes need to occur to improve the status of language centres. Firstly, the teaching staff should take more initiatives in research which would ensure a better standing and a more adequate status within the higher education institution they operate in. Furthermore, universities should develop language policies to promote foreign language learning according to the European Council recommendations. This would contribute to a more harmonious cooperation between language centres and other departments at universities. Adapted from the source document
Purpose
Acute hydrocephalus is a common complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). It can be self-limiting or require cerebrospinal fluid diversion. We aimed to determine the ...transient acute hydrocephalus (TAH) rate in patients with aSAH treated endovascularly and evaluate its predictive factors.
Methods
A retrospective review of 357 patients with aSAH who underwent endovascular treatment from March 2013 to December 2019 was performed. Clinical and radiographic data were analyzed and risk factors with potential significance for acute hydrocephalus were identified. We constructed a new risk score, the Drainage Or Transiency of Acute Hydrocephalus after Aneurysmal SAH (DOTAHAS) score, that may differentiate patients who would experience TAH from those needing surgical interventions.
Results
Acute hydrocephalus occurred in 129 patients (36%), out of whom in 66 patients (51%) it was self-limiting while 63 patients (49%) required external ventricular drainage placement. As independent risk factors for acute hydrocephalus, we identified older age, poor initial clinical condition, aSAH from posterior circulation, and the extent of cisternal and intraventricular hemorrhage. The following three factors were shown to predict acute hydrocephalus transiency and therefore included in the DOTAHAS score, ranging from 0 to 7 points: Hunt and Hess grade ≥ 3 (1 point), modified Fisher grade 4 (2 points), and Ventricular Hijdra Sum Score (vHSS) ≥ 6 (4 points). Patients scoring ≥ 3 points had significantly higher risk for EVD (
P
< 0.0001) than other patients.
Conclusion
The newly developed DOTAHAS score can be useful in identifying patients with transient acute hydrocephalus. Further score evaluation is needed.
Purpose
Posterior circulation perforator aneurysms (PCPAs) are a rare type of intracranial aneurysms whose natural history and optimal clinical management are still largely unexplored. This study ...aims to report our experience with treating ruptured PCPAs and to provide a systematic review of the literature to compare the two most established treatment options, endovascular stenting, and conservative management including administration of antifibrinolytic drugs and watchful waiting.
Methods
We performed a systematic review of the literature following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Major databases were searched for case reports and case report series written in the English language between 1995 and 2020. Additionally, we retrospectively reviewed our stroke center database for cases of ruptured PCPAs between January 2014 and July 2020. Endovascular stenting and conservative treatment were compared using endpoints, including favorable outcome rate (mRS 0-2), occlusion rate, mortality rate, periinterventional complication rate, and re-hemorrhage rate.
Results
We identified 31 patients treated endovascularly using stents and 33 patients treated conservatively, with the administration of antifibrinolytic drugs in 3 of them. Our analysis showed no statistically significant difference between the groups, except for the occlusion rate.
Conclusions
The optimal management strategy of PCPAs is still unknown, but stenting can be considered as an effective occlusion method with an acceptable complication rate. Preventive ventricular drainage may be necessary due to the high hydrocephalus rate encountered in ruptured PCPAs.
The prioritization of alien species according to the magnitude of their environmental impacts has become increasingly important for the management of invasive alien species. In this study, we applied ...the Environmental Impact Classification of Alien Taxa (EICAT) to classify alien taxa from three different taxonomic groups to facilitate the prioritisation of management actions for the threatened riparian forests of the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve, South East Europe. With local experts we collated a list of 198 alien species (115 plants, 45 insects, and 38 fungi) with populations reported in southeast European forest ecosystems and included them in the EICAT. We found impact reports for 114 species. Eleven of these species caused local extinctions of a native species, 35 led to a population decrease, 51 to a reduction in performance in at least one native species and for 17 alien species no effects on individual fitness of native species were detected. Fungi had significantly highest impact and were more likely to have information on their impacts reported. Competition and parasitism were the most important impact mechanisms of alien species. This study is, to our knowledge, the first application of EICAT to all known alien species of several taxonomic groups in a protected area. The impact rankings enabled to identify taxa that generally cause high impacts and to prioritize species for the management in protected areas according to their impact magnitudes. By following a standardized impact protocol, we identified several alien species causing high impacts that do not appear on any expert-based risk list, which are relevant for policymakers. Thus, we recommend that alien species be systematically screened to identify knowledge gaps and prioritize their management with respect to spatio-temporal trends in impact magnitudes.
Aim of this study was to assess evoked potentials in the prediction of clinical outcome in hemorrhagic stroke patients.
In 46 patients (23 men, mean age 65.17 ± 12.58) with hemorrhagic stroke (33 ...intracerebral and 13 subarachnoid hemorrhage) within the 48 h after admission to neurointensive care unit (NICU), brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (mSSEP) were performed. Among clinical parameters, the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and the Full Outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) were assessed on the admission and discharge day, while Modified Rankin scale (mRS) was assessed on the discharge day.
At the admission, there was statistically significant negative correlation between BAEP latencies and FOUR score and GCS. Regarding discharge data, there was significant negative correlation between discharge GCS and right wave V latency and significant positive correlation of mRS with latency of right wave V.
Among mSSEP results, significant negative correlation was found between right P14-N20 interlatency and admission date FOUR score and GCS. Also, significant positive correlation was found between both FOUR score and GCS on the admission date with mSSEP P15-N20 amplitudes.
Significant positive correlation was found between mSSEP P15-N20 amplitudes and discharge day GCS and FOUR scale values. mRS significantly positively correlated with N20 latencies, while significant negative correlation was found between mRS and mSSEP P15-N20 amplitudes.
BAEP and mSSEP correlate with different clinical outcomes at admission and discharge in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.
