There has been an enormous increase in interest in the use of evidence for public policymaking, but the vast majority of work on the subject has failed to engage with the political nature of decision ...making and how this influences the ways in which evidence will be used (or misused) within political areas. This book provides new insights into the nature of political bias with regards to evidence and critically considers what an ‘improved’ use of evidence would look like from a policymaking perspective. Part I describes the great potential for evidence to help achieve social goals, as well as the challenges raised by the political nature of policymaking. It explores the concern of evidence advocates that political interests drive the misuse or manipulation of evidence, as well as counter-concerns of critical policy scholars about how appeals to ‘evidence-based policy’ can depoliticise political debates. Both concerns reflect forms of bias – the first representing technical bias, whereby evidence use violates principles of scientific best practice, and the second representing issue bias in how appeals to evidence can shift political debates to particular questions or marginalise policy-relevant social concerns. Part II then draws on the fields of policy studies and cognitive psychology to understand the origins and mechanisms of both forms of bias in relation to political interests and values. It illustrates how such biases are not only common, but can be much more predictable once we recognise their origins and manifestations in policy arenas. Finally, Part III discusses ways to move forward for those seeking to improve the use of evidence in public policymaking. It explores what constitutes ‘good evidence for policy’, as well as the ‘good use of evidence’ within policy processes, and considers how to build evidence-advisory institutions that embed key principles of both scientific good practice and democratic representation. Taken as a whole, the approach promoted is termed the ‘good governance of evidence’ – a concept that represents the use of rigorous, systematic and technically valid pieces of evidence within decision-making processes that are representative of, and accountable to, populations served.

Gibalno ovirani študenti imajo pravico, da se samostojno gibajo po celotnem območju kampusa. Avtorice v članku predstavljajo model vrednotenja poti, ki temelji na kriterijih dostopnosti in omogoča, ...da se v univerzitetnem kampusu določijo najustreznejše poti za invalidne osebe. Najprej so glavne dejavnike dostopne mobilnosti določili in ovrednotili gibalno ovirani študenti, nato pa so avtorice z metodo analitičnega hierarhičnega procesa določile uteži kriterijem in alternativam poti. Študenti so ovrednotili mrežo poti v kampusu univerze İnönü, ki so ga avtorice izbrale za raziskavo, pri čemer so ocenili tudi dostopnost treh glavnih poti v kampusu. Izsledki so pokazali, da sta med desetimi ključnimi kriteriji najpomembnejša naklon klančin in vrsta tlaka. Avtorice so s terensko analizo po trdile pravilnost rezultatov, pridobljenih z metodo analitičnega hierarhičnega procesa. Na podlagi izsledkov so oblikovale model določanja optimalne poti s čim manj ovirami za čim lažje vsakodnevno gibanje invalidnih oseb.
Rad prikazuje odnos estetike i pedagogije razmatrajući aspekte suda ukusa u odgojno-obrazovnom kontekstu. Usmjerava se na istraživanje mogućnosti subjektivnog i objektivnog određenja suda ukusa ...kritički razmatrajući moguće problemske implikacije koje nastaju zauzimanjem takvih pozicija u nastojanju njegova određenja. Razmatranjem koncepata suda ukusa rad donosi temeljne odrednice njegova razumijevanja u okviru estetike kao filozofske discipline oslanjajući se poglavito na Humeova i Kantova djela kao izvore i temelj za promišljanje odgojne uloge u njegovom oblikovanju. Analizom ključnih odrednica suda ukusa u njihovu mišljenju pružaju se implikacije putem kojih se iznosi povezanost, relevantnost i nužnost oblikovanja suda ukusa putem odgojno-obrazovne djelatnosti. Stoga rad ukazuje na potrebu za odgojem i obrazovanjem kao neizostavnim čimbenicima koji, osim što produbljuju razumijevanje estetskih vrijednosti, imaju utjecaj na oblikovanje njegove kvalitete i profinjenosti.
The paper presents the relationship between aesthetics and pedagogy by considering aspects of the judgement of taste in the educational context. It focuses on exploring the possibility of subjective and objective determination of the judgement of taste by critically considering the possible problematic implications that arise from taking such positions in an effort of its determination. By considering the concepts of the judgement of taste, the paper presents the fundamental concepts of its understanding within aesthetics as a philosophical discipline, relying mainly on Hume’s and Kant’s works as sources and basis for considering the educational role in its figuration. The analysis of the key determinants of the judgement of taste in their works provides the basis for implications through which the connection, relevance and necessity of shaping the judgement of taste through educational activities are presented. Therefore, the paper points to the need for upbringing and education as indispensable factors that, in addition to deepening the understanding of aesthetic values, have an impact on the formation of its quality and sophistication.
Na promatranom području zapadnoga Srijema i u posebnom povijesnom kontekstu nalazio se veliki dio Vojne krajine sa specifičnim društvenim uređenjem i militariziranim odgojno-obrazovnim sustavom. ...Odredbama o institucionaliziranju obrazovanja i sustavnom stjecanju znanja i na prostoru Vojne krajine dolazi do reformskih zahvata u tadašnje oblike organizacije školstva. U to se doba u javnosti promiču težnje o ciljanom i svrhovitom usvajanju znanja, vještina i navika učenika, kao i njihovih učitelja. Propisi koji reguliraju tadašnje školstvo donose odredbe o stručnim i dopunskim kompetencijama koje učitelji moraju posjedovati kako bi udovoljili zahtjevima graničarskih škola. Pojedine kompetencije nisu se u odgojno-obrazovnoj praksi promatranoga razdoblja uopće zamjećivale što u javnom diskursu rezultira izrazitim podcjenjivanjem učiteljskoga zanimanja. Stoga se ovim radom, analizom sadržaja povijesne literature i dokumentacije, donosi oblikovnica koja upućuje na nedostatke i naputke za poboljšanja navedene profesije u promatranom razdoblju. Navedenim spoznajama cilj je istaknuti pokušaje kojima se namjeravalo poboljšati tadašnje stanje i kvaliteta te iskazati pozitivni stavovi koji upućuju na moguće doprinose stvaranja modernijega školstva na tom prostoru.
In the observed area of western Srijem and in the specific historical context, there was a large part of the Military Frontier with a specific social order and militarized educational system. Provisions on the institutionalization of education and the systematic acquisition of knowledge introduced reform of the former forms of school organization also in the Military Frontier. They publicly promoted aspirations for a targeted and purposeful acquisition of knowledge, skills, and habits of both students and teachers. Regulations governing the school system at the time laid down provisions on the competencies that teachers must possess to meet the requirements of border schools. Certain competencies were not at all noticed in the educational practice of the observed period, which led to a significant undervalue of the teaching profession in the public discourse. Therefore, by analyzing the content of historical literature and documentation, this work provides a model that points to shortcomings and suggestions for improving the mentioned profession in the observed period. These findings aim to highlight attempts that were intended to improve the current state and quality and to express positive attitudes that indicate possible contributions to creating a more modern school system in this area.
Šume i šumsko zemljište danas pružaju višestruku korist čovjeku koji obitava u prirodi. Ubrzan i stresan način života čovjeku nameće potrebu da se skloni daleko od gradske gužve, a upravo se takva ...mjesta sve češće nalaze u parkovima prirode. Šume parka prirode uistinu mogu dati traženi mir posjetitelju, a Lonjsko polje i Medvednica su dva parka koja se sastoje od velikih, ali različitih šumskih površina. Također su to dva vrlo zanimljiva parka prirode, svaki specifičan na svoj način. Park prirode Medvednica rekreacijsko je područje u neposrednoj blizini milijunske gradske aglomeracije koji pruža velike mogućnosti za razvoj rekreacijskih aktivnosti. Šume na Medvednici ne služe samo za proizvodnju drvnih sortimenata, nego ih istodobno građani grada Zagreba i ostali ljudi koriste za svoju svakodnevnu rekreaciju. Pristup Parku prirode Medvednica omogućen je pješacima, biciklistima, posjetitelji mogu doći i osobnim automobilima i javnim prijevozom (autobus), a uskoro će u pogonu biti i žičara. Sadržaji koji se nude posjetiteljima su: poučne staze, planinarske staze, interpretativne šetnje, posjet Medvedgradu, špilji Veternici i rudniku Zrinski. Uz to, tu su i ugostiteljsko-smještajni kapaciteti te planinarski domovi. Park prirode Lonjsko polje je poplavno područje u kojemu dominiraju hrast lužnjak, crna joha, poljski jasen i nizinski brijest. Izgrađene su pješačke i edukativne staze, prihvatni centri, suvenirnice, osigurana plovidba čamcima iz pristaništa u Krapju, ali i povezanost autobusnim linijama. Ta infrastruktura i sadržaji, uključujući i edukativne programe, osnova su za pružanje višednevne usluge i zadržavanje posjetitelja na tom području. Posjetitelji u najvećem postotku uz pješačenje koriste vidikovce i promatranje ptica kao rekreativni sadržaj u Parku prirode Lonjsko polje. U članku se kroz opis svakog pojedinog parka prirode ukazuje na bitne razlike između ta dva područja, ali i sličnosti koje ih na neki način povezuju.
Forests and forest land today provide multiple benefits to people
who visit nature. Due to fast-paced and stressful way of life, people need to get away from the city crowds, and such places are increasingly found in nature parks. The forests of the nature park can truly give the
desired peace to the visitor, and Lonjsko polje and Medvednica are two parks that consist of large but different forest areas. They are also two very interesting nature parks, each specific in its own way. Medvednica Nature Park is a recreational area in the immediate vicinity of the city agglomeration of millions, which provides great opportunities for the development of recreational activities. The forests on Medvednica are not only used for the production of wood assortments but at the same time, the citizens of the city of Zagreb and
other people use them for their daily recreation. Access to the Medvednica Nature Park is provided for pedestrians, cyclists, visitors can also come by car and public transport (bus), and a cable car will soon be in operation. Facilities offered to visitors are educational trails, hiking trails, interpretive walks, a visit to Medvedgrad, Veternica Cave, and Zrinski Mine. In addition, there are restaurants and
accommodation facilities and mountain lodges.
Lonjsko Polje Nature Park is a floodplain area dominated by pedunculate oak, black alder, field ash, and lowland elm. Hiking and educational trails, reception centers, souvenir shops have been built, boating from the port in Krapje has been ensured, as well as connections
by bus lines. This infrastructure and facilities, including educational
programs, are the basis for providing multi-day service and retaining visitors to the area. The largest percentage of visitors, in addition to
hiking, use lookouts and bird watching as recreational possibilities in
Lonjsko Polje Nature Park.
Through the description of each individual nature park, the article points out the important differences between the two areas, but also the similarities that connect them in some way.

Spis
Vita Basilii
književna nam tradicija
donosi u sklopu literarnog korpusa bizantskog cara Konstantina VII. Porfirogeneta
(913. ‒ 959.). Radi se o vrsti pohvalnoga govora (βασιλικὸς λόγος) ...sastavljenog
u čast utemeljitelja Makedonske dinastije Bazilija I. (867. ‒ 886.), čija je
svrha bila osloboditi Porfirogenetova djeda od krivnje za ubojstvo njegova
prethodnika, cara Mihaela III. (842. ‒ 867.), što je ubrzalo Bazilijev dolazak
na vlast. Bazilije u spisu utjelovljuje sliku idealnog bizantskog cara, dok je
Mihael prikazan u negativnom kontekstu i kao primjer lošeg vladara. U radu se
analizira uloga stilskih sredstava u oblikovanju Bazilijeva i Mihaelova lika.
Iako je visoki stupanj upotrebe stilskih ukrasa u ovakvoj književnoj vrsti
očekivan, na temelju odabranih primjera predočit će se kako ih je u određenim
slučajevima autor ciljano upotrebljavao ne samo radi podizanja retoričkog
naboja, nego i s tendencijom da Bazilije unatoč mračnoj strani dolaska na
prijestolje bude prikazan kao „spasitelj” Bizantskog Carstva nakon Mihaelove
loše vladavine, a Mihael kao glavni krivac za svoju vlastitu smrt.
The work
Vita Basilii
, preserved withing the literary corpus of Byzantine
Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (913–959), is a panegyric composed in honour of the founder of the Macedonian
dynasty, Porphyrogenitus’ grandfather Basil I (867–886). Considering the
fact that the work is of a political nature which
includes propaganda, and that it was imperative that Basil be exculpated
for
his role in the assassination of Emperor Michael III (842–867), the author aims to depict Basil as the ideal Byzantine emperor,
and Michael as a poor ruler who deserved his death due to his irrational
behaviour. In this paper, the role of stylistic means in the characterization
of Basil and Michael is analyzed. While a high level of stylistic embellishment
in this type of literary genre is to be anticipated, in which its primary role
is to heighten rhetorical stylization and affective tension, it can be
concluded on the basis of selected examples in the work that in a large number
of cases it is the author’s aim to use certain stylistic figures and tropes so
that Basil, despite the dark circumstances surrounding his rise to power, is
depicted as the “saviour” of the Byzantine Empire after Michael’s poor
rulership, and Michael is depicted as the primary guilty party in his own
death. Basil is decorated with positive characteristics such as prudence,
righteousness, mercy and piety, while Michael is depicted as an emperor who
irrationally spends public funds on horse races, drinking binges and feasts,
who dishonours holy rituals and murders innocents. In the fashioning of Basil’s
character Porphyrogenitus often uses exempla as literary devices (the mother of
Persian King Cyrus, Achilles, the hundred-armed giant Briareus, the benevolent
father from the parable of the Prodigal Son), using thereby as well other
figures, such as hyperbaton, homoeoteleuton, paromoeosis, synonymy, paronomasia,
etc. Figures which are too artificial for frequent use, ruining the beauty of
the style, are found less frequently in the work, such as homoeoteleuton
with
extreme matching (rimes), or some figures of thought (exclamation, rhetorical
questions) by which means the author’s own emotions and personal admiration of
Basil are demonstrated. In the fashioning of Michael’s character among selected
stylistic figures synonymy dominates (“folly and madness”, “witless and mad”,
“derangement and madness”…). The research has also shown that higher level of
stylistic expression in comparison to the rest of the work is found in certain
chapters, such as those in which more significant episodes from Basil’s life are depicted (his mother’s dreams as a herald of Basil’s glory,
Basil’s departure to Constantinople and his coronation as a co-ruler, tragic
familial circumstances – the death of his eldest son, Constantine, and his
dispute with his son Leo), Basil’s virtues (the description of the Emperor’s
reforms and his concern for the common good) and portions of the reports
on
Michael’s rulership in which his indecent behaviour is highlighted.
U ovom radu razmatra se uloga tišine u suvremenom filmu te pitanje kako njezino korištenje uz druge dijegetske zvukove i glazbu pridonosi stvaranju uspješnog filmskog glazbenog zapisa. Detaljnom ...analizom izabranih filmova Paula Thomasa Andersona, te uspoređivanjem sa spoznajama znanstvenih istraživanja o ulozi tišine u filmu, ovaj rad nastojat će prikazati mnoštvo izražajnih mogućnosti kojom tišina obogaćuje i upotpunjuje zvučno stvaralaštvo u filmskom mediju. Iako su već u prošlosti režiseri poput Bergmana, Godarda i Antonionija
koristili tišinu kao stvaralački alat, mlađa generacija predvođena redateljima poput Andersona uspjela je pronaći originalne i inovativne načine kako sintetizirati glazbu, tišinu, dijalog i nijemost te tim pristupom ostvariti filmove koji kod gledatelja ostavljaju upečatljiv dojam.
Avtorja na primeru starega dela nigerijskega mesta Zaria, ki se je razvijal med 11. in 19. stoletjem, proučujeta vpliv tradicionalne zasnove naselij na načrtovanje novih mestnih predelov. Njuna ...glavna teza je, da so bile nekatere prvine stare zasnove naselij vključene v novi del mesta. Ob pregledu literature analizirata razvoj mesta, pri čemer se osredotočata na tradicionalno arhitekturo Havsov in zasnovo njihovih naselij ter vpliv te arhitekture in zasnove na prostorsko ureditev. Z zemljevidi, skicami in preglednicami ponazorita, kako je bogata tradicija Havsov vplivala na urbanistično oblikovanje in načrtovanje mesta. Izsledki raziskave kažejo, da so nekatere tradicionalne zasnove naselij vplivale na urbanistično oblikovanje mesta, saj je bila ljudska arhitektura postopno vključena v regulacijske načrte novih mestnih predelov. Avtorja v sklepnem delu ugotavljata, da se lahko arhitekti, načrtovalci in investitorji veliko naučijo iz študije primera mesta Zaria.
