U radu se, na osnovi arhivske građe državnih arhiva u Bjelovaru i u Zagrebu, literature, periodike, službenih novina i časopisa, prikazuju rezultati istraživanja prvih parlamentarnih izbora, održanih ...11. studenoga 1945., za izbor zastupnika u Ustavotvornu skupštinu Demokratske Federativne Jugoslavije na području izbornog okruga Bjelovar. Izbornim zakonima, donesenima u kolovozu 1945., iz izbornog postupka eliminirani su svi potencijalni glasači koji su mogli ugroziti parlamentanu legitimizaciju Komunističke partije Jugoslavije. Unatoč pobjedi kandidata Narodne fronte, rezultati izbora na području izbornog okruga Bjelovar ukazivali su na postojanje „lokalnih džepova otpora“ službenoj vlasti, a koji su bili bliski predratnoj politici Hrvatske seljačke stranke.
U radu se problematiziraju političke i društvene okolnosti u Kotaru Bjelovar neposredno nakon završetka Drugog svjetskog rata u kojima Komunistička partija Hrvatske Kotarskog komiteta Bjelovar ...nastoji zadobiti legitimacijski temelj i učvrstiti vlast. Osnovna je namjera rada pokazati da je KPH u Kotaru Bjelovar u sredini koja je prije početka, u vrijeme i nakon završetka rata bila čvrsto vezana za političko, gospodarsko i kulturno djelovanje bivše Hrvatske seljačke stranke (HSS) imala teškoće u uspostavljanju i učvršćivanju svoje vlasti.
The paper presents – based on the archive material from the state archives in Bjelovar and Zagreb, literature, periodical press, official newspapers and magazines – the results of the study of the ...first parliamentary elections for the representatives of the Constitutional Assembly of the Democratic Federative Yugoslavia, held on 11 November 1945 in the electoral district of Bjelovar. All the voters who might have potentially jeopardized the parliamentary legitimisation of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia were eliminated from the electoral procedure by election acts passed in August 1945. Despite the fact that the candidates of the National Front had won the elections, the results in the electoral district of Bjelovar indicated the existence of local pockets of resistance against the authorities, which were close to the pre-war policy of Croatian Peasants’ Party.
This paper questions the political and social circumstances in the Bjelovar county immediately after the end of World War II in which the Communist Party of Croatia (hrv. KPH), Bjelovar Committee ...attempted to gain legitimization and confirm rule. The basic intention of the paper is to show that the CPC had difficulties in the setup and affirmation of its rule in the Bjelovar county, an area which was connected firmly to the political, economic, and cultural work of the former Croatian Folks Party before, during, and after the war.
The authors attempts to point to some specialties of the economic development of Bjelovar at the turn of the century based on available archival materials and publicized scientific papers. ...Considering the fact that archival sources are relatively modest or completely lacking for a more quality estimation of the role and importance of crafts and trade for the total development of the town, as well as their role in the economy of Croatia and Slavonia of the time, the author is limited to lists of crafts, trade workshops, and some attempts of Bjelovar businessmen they considered to have been marked by characteristics of manufacture-industrial companies.
Cilj ovoga rada je na temelju postojeće literature i novina prikazati i objasniti politički put književnika, pjesnika i političara Mirka Bogovića (1816.-1893.), posebice njegov put od „vatrenog“ ...pristaše ilirskog pokreta do čvrstog unionista poslije 1860. godine. Bogović tada postaje zagovornik dualizma i što jačeg vezivanja Hrvatske unutar Ugarskog kraljevstva, čak do potiranja njenih skromnih državnopravnih i financijskih okvira u toj zajednici nejednakih. Na kraju rada nalazi se devet pisama koja se tiču Bogovićevog književnog i političkog rada iz preporodnog i neoapsolutističkog razdoblja. Ona su ovdje priložena jer djelomično pokazuju Bogovićev materijalni položaj te njegov temperament i karakter, što korespondira s temom ovog rada.
Autori na temelju raspoložive arhivske građe i publicirane znanstvene literature pokušavaju ukazati na neke posebnosti u gospodarskom razvoju grada Bjelovara na prijelazu stoljeća. S obzirom na to da ...su arhivski izvori relativno skromni ili u potpunosti nedostaju za kvalitetniju ocjenu uloge i značaja obrta i trgovine za ukupan razvoj grada te njihovoj ulozi u ekonomici nagodbene Hrvatske, autori se zadržavaju na popisima obrta, trgovačkih radnji i nekim pothvatima bjelovarskih poduzetnika za koje smatraju da su imali obilježja manufakturno-industrijskih poduzeća.
Purpose. The world population is continuously ageing, and a significant amount of world efforts has already been dedicated to increasing the quality of life of the population in the age-group of 65+. ...A way to achieve this goal is to introduce older generations to the benefits of digital technology. This paper presents the findings of a study on digital technology adoption and the online information needs of senior citizens in the city of Osijek, Croatia.
Methodology. The study was conducted on a sample of 188 participants from September to December 2021. The data was collected by the means of a paper survey distributed to respondents in several locations: a local senior care home, the farmers market, and a non-profit organization.
Findings. The respondents in our sample prefer smartphones (49.5%) and personal computers or laptops (27.7%) over tablet computers and smartwatches. The internet is used by almost 70% of the respondents, mostly for purposeful searches for information or communication. E-learning, e-shopping, or e-government applications are used rarely. The study detected significant differences in digital technology use concerning gender, age, life satisfaction and living with a partner.
Social implications. In order to support and promote the active ageing of senior citizens in Osijek, a more systematic approach at the level of city administration is needed in order to ensure a better understanding and use of digital technology by this vulnerable demographic group.
Originality. The paper presents a valuable contribution to further understanding the ICT adoption, skills and online information behaviour of senior citizens in Osijek, Croatia.
