The basic law governing minority rights in the Republic of Croatia was adopted by The Constitutional Act on the Rights of National Minorities (CARNM) in 2002. Among other things, it provides for the ...election of representatives of members of national minorities in accordance with a special election act. The unified election act – Act on the Election of Councils and Representatives of National Minorities (AECRNM), which regulates the election of members of national minority councils and representatives of national minorities in local and regional self-government units, entered into force on 14 March 2019, 17 years after the adoption of the CARNM. The first elections held under the provisions of that act were the elections of representatives and members of Councils of National Minorities, held in 2019, on 5 May (first round) and 19 May (second round). The 2019 elections went unnoticed by the Croatian press, with the exception of the involvement of some local media in areas with a larger population of members of national minorities. Apart from invisibility, another problem of the 2019 elections was the low voter turnout, from 10 to 24 percent, depending on the level of the self-government unit at which the elections were held. The empirical analysis of election results and Government Reports on the implementation of the CARNM seeks to answer the questions of the extent to which national minorities were politically active in the previous election cycle (2015–2019) and whether more generous funding of political activities affects voter turnout. The evaluation of the results is also an answer to the question of whether the adoption of the new act is a step forward in promoting the political rights of national minorities in Croatia and a guide for election participants to prepare activities for the new election cycle.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi internu konzistenciju i retest pouzdanost hrvatske inačice PAQ-C upitnika na uzorku djece u dobi od 6 do 10 godina te izvijestiti o razini tjelesne aktivnosti ...učenika razredne nastave. Isti set pitanja primijenjen je na učenicima dva puta s vremenskim razmakom od tri tjedna. Oba mjerenja učenika u dobi od 8 do 10 godina održana su u školi uz prisustvo iskusnog istraživača. Suprotno tome, učenici u dobi od 6 do 8 godina ispunjavali su upitnik kod kuće, uz pomoć roditelja. Ukupno 81 učenik (85 %) ispunio je upitnik u obje vremenske točke. Interna konzistencija procijenjena Cronbachovom alfom kod skupine u dobi od 6 do 8 godina iznosila je .51 za prvo mjerenje, odnosno .69 za drugo mjerenja. Kod skupine od 8 do 10 godina, za prvo mjerenje Cronbahova alfa iznosila je .77, a za drugo mjerenje .75. Prosječan Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) između rezultata ukupne tjelesne aktivnosti prvog i drugog mjerenja iznosio je 0.56 (95% IC .05 – .76) za skupinu u dobi od 6 do 8 godina, odnosno .75 (95%CI 0.54 – 0.86) za skupinu u dobi od 8 do 10 godina. Rezultati ovog istraživanja podupiru korištenje hrvatske inačice PAQ-C upitnika za procjenu razine tjelesne aktivnosti učenika u dobi od 8 do 10 godina. Nasuprot tome, trenutni dokazi upućuju na to kako PAQ-C upitnik neće pouzdano procijeniti razinu tjelesne aktivnosti učenika mlađih od 8 godina.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is relevant to mainstream thought on economic organisations and their places in society. The aim of this paper is to collect some of the most relevant research ...findings on CSR, introduce the informedness of Hungarian respondents on CSR in general, the main influencing factors of their purchasing decisions, and to find correlations between the received results and the demographic variables based on our primary research. Our results support the present practice in terms of the definition of CSR. Almost all the listed alternatives are strongly associated with CSR by the respondents. The highest average received for the “creating work places, employment” alternative indicates the importance of this activity. Regarding the different factors influencing purchasing decision, our results underline the importance of price and price value ratio.
La Convention pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel Immatériel de 2003 et la Convention sur la protection et la promotion de la diversité des expressions culturelles de 2005 sont les deux plus ...récents traités culturels internationaux conclus sous l’égide de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO). Puisant leur source dans la Déclaration universelle sur la diversité culturelle adoptée à l’unanimité des membres de l’UNESCO en 2001, les Conventions de 2003 et de 2005 constituent toutes deux une réponse de la communauté internationale aux phénomènes de mondialisation des économies et d’homogénéisation des cultures, notamment générés par l’intégration des marchés. Ces instruments demeurent néanmoins distincts et poursuivent des objectifs qui leurs sont propres, bien que des interactions entre les deux conventions puissent être identifiées. Cet ouvrage a pour vocation de mettre les deux textes en parallèles, de manière à clarifier leur champ d’application respectif, tout en valorisant leur complémentarité et leur contribution au développement durable des sociétés.
The old discussion about ‘Market or State’ is obsolete. There will always have to be a mix of market and state. The only relevant question is what that mix should look like. How far do we have to let ...the market go its own way in order to create as much welfare possible for everyone? What is the responsibility of the government in creating welfare? These are difficult questions. But they are also the only interesting questions. That is why they are analysed in this book. The desired mix of market and state is anything but easy to bring about. It is a difficult and sometimes destructive process that is constantly in motion. There are periods in history in which the market gains in importance. During other periods the opposite occurs and the government is everywhere more dominant. The turning points in this pendulum swing typically seem to coincide with disruptive events that test the limits of market and state. Why we experience this dynamic is an important theme in this book. Will the market, which today is allocated a greater and greater role thanks to globalization, run up against its limits? Or do the financial crisis and growing income inequality show that we have already reached those limits? Do we have to brace ourselves for a rejection of the capitalist system? Are we returning to an economy in which the government is running the show? These are important questions this book seeks to answer.
Vrednovanje i ocjenjivanje u nastavi Glazbene kulture važna je sastavnica odgojno-obrazovnog procesa koja sa sobom nosi razne poteškoće i subjektivnost. U nastavi Glazbene kulture realiziraju se ...različite glazbene aktivnosti i sadržaji (slušanje glazbe, muzikološki sadržaji, pjevanje, sviranje, stvaralaštvo/glazbene igre/pokret, osnove glazbene pismenosti), koji su više ili manje specifični te se navedeno odražava i na vrednovanje i ocjenjivanje. Navedene aktivnosti i sadržaji u okviru Kurikuluma nastavnog predmeta Glazbena kultura za osnovne škole i Glazbena umjetnost za gimnazije (2019) organizirane su u okviru tri domene/nastavna područja: Slušanje i upoznavanje glazbe, Izražavanje glazbom i uz glazbu i Glazba u kontekstu. U radu je prikazano istraživanje provedeno tijekom 2019. godine, a koje je obuhvatilo 269 ispitanika, tj. 30 osnovnoškolskih učitelja Glazbene kulture i 239 učenika osmih razreda. Istraživanje je provedeno u Osječko-baranjskoj i Požeško-slavonskoj županiji te je obuhvatilo učitelje Glazbene kulture i učenike osmih razreda šest osnovnih škola od kojih se četiri nalaze u urbanom, a dvije u ruralnom području. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je doznati stavove učenika i učitelja o vrednovanju i ocjenjivanju u nastavi Glazbene kulture, utvrditi moguću povezanost sociodemografskih varijabla i mišljenja učitelja i učenika te utvrditi na koji se način provodi ocjenjivanje u nastavi Glazbene kulture. Slušanje glazbe i pjevanje su aktivnosti koje se, prema mišljenju i učitelja i učenika, najčešće vrednuju i ocjenjuju u nastavi Glazbene kulture. Ujedno, učitelji u većoj mjeri smatraju da provode individualno i skupno ocjenjivanje nego li to smatraju učenici. Utvrđeno je da učitelji najčešće ocjenjivanje provode tako što tijekom svakog sata prate učenike, skloni su učenike ocijeniti odmah na satu i najčešće usmeno. Utvrđeno je da su učitelji i učenici mišljenja da učenik ne treba imati razvijene glazbene sposobnosti za ocjenu ‘odličan’ u predmetu Glazbena kultura. S obzirom na povezanost sociodemografskih varijabla i mišljenja ispitanika o vrednovanju i ocjenjivanju, pokazalo se kako su područje na kojemu se nalazi škola i spol značajni prediktori učeničkih stavova, dok se kod učitelja nijedna varijabla nije pokazala prediktorskom.
Evaluation and grading in the teaching of Music Culture is an important component of the educational process that carries various difficulties and subjectivity with it. In the course of Music Culture, various music activities and contents (music listening, music content, singing, playing, creativity/musical games/movement, basics of musical literacy) are realized, which are more or less specific and also reflect on the evaluation and evaluation. The activities and contents of the Curriculum for the Elementary School Music Culture and High School Musical Arts (2019) curricula are organized within three domains/teaching areas: Listening and learning about music, Expressing music and with music, and Music in context. The research was conducted in 2019 and included 269 respondents, i.e. 30 elementary music teachers and 239 eighth grade students. The survey was conducted in Osijek-Baranja and Pozega-Slavonia counties and it included Music teachers and eighth grade students from six primary schools, four of whom are in urban and two in rural areas. The aim of this research was to find out students’ and teachers’ views on evaluation and assessment and to determine the possible correlation of sociodemographic variables and teachers’ and students’ opinions on evaluation and assessment in Music Culture teaching and to determine how the assessment is conducted in Music Culture teaching. Listening to music and singing are activities that, in the opinion of both teachers and students, are most commonly evaluated and graded in teaching Music Culture. At the same time, teachers are more likely to carry out individual and group assessments than students. Teachers usually conduct their assessment by monitoring students every class, they tend to evaluate students during class and most often orally. Teachers and students think that student should not have the developed musical skills to score excellently in Music Culture. Considering the correlation between sociodemographic variables and the respondents’ opinions on evaluation and grading, it was shown that the area in which school is located and gender are significant predictors of students’ attitudes, while in the teachers no variables proved to be predictive.
In this study we screened twelve newly synthesised
-(substituted phenyl)-2-chloroacetamides for antimicrobial potential relying on quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis based ...on the available cheminformatics prediction models (Molinspiration, SwissADME, PreADMET, and PkcSM) and verified it through standard antimicrobial testing against
,
, methicillin-resistant
(MRSA), and
. Our compounds met all the screening criteria of Lipinski’s rule of five (Ro5) as well as Veber’s and Egan’s methods for predicting biological activity. In antimicrobial activity tests, all chloroacetamides were effective against Gram-positive
and MRSA, less effective against the Gram-negative
, and moderately effective against the yeast
. Our study confirmed that the biological activity of chloroacetamides varied with the position of substituents bound to the phenyl ring, which explains why some molecules were more effective against Gram-negative than Gram-positive bacteria or
. Bearing the halogenated
-substituted phenyl ring,
-(4-chlorophenyl),
-(4-fluorophenyl), and
-(3-bromophenyl) chloroacetamides were among the most active thanks to high lipophilicity, which allows them to pass rapidly through the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. They are the most promising compounds for further investigation, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria and pathogenic yeasts.
S obzirom na to da dosad nisu provedena istraživanja koja bi pojasnila i obradila problematiku prostorne, a time i funkcionalne strukture Grada Krapine, u ovom radu analizirat će se funkcionalna ...obilježja Grada Krapine s naglaskom na poslovne, odnosno upravne djelatnosti, na temelju dokumenata prostorno-planske dokumentacije, analize statističkih podataka i terenskog kartiranja. Na taj se način nastojala stvoriti baza podataka na temelju koje će se istražiti postojeća prostorna struktura Grada. Uz navedene metode dodatno je provedeno anketno istraživanje kako bi se ustanovila i analizirala razina zadovoljstva neposrednim životnim prostorom stanovnika koji žive na tom području, odnosno kako bi se moglo utvrditi koliko su stanovnici zadovoljni pojedinim aspektima života u Gradu Krapini. Pri tome je naglasak stavljen na dostupnost. U anketno istraživanje uključena su ukupno 132 stanovnika Grada Krapine. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako su funkcije Grada Krapine koncentrirane najvećim dijelom u središnjem naselju, što je posljedica strukture analiziranih djelatnosti, ali i prirodnih obilježja koja ograničavaju prostorni razvoj, poput reljefnih karakteristika koje priječe disperziranje pojedinih djelatnosti u širi prostor, odnosno okolna naselja.

Internet addiction and cyberbullying among youth are phenomena that show a significant increase owing to the development of technology and the wide accessibility of the Internet. Research was ...conducted among adolescents (N = 352) in 9 randomly selected high schools in Croatia, with the aim of investigating the relationship between habitual Internet use and online risk behaviors among adolescents. The standardized measuring instruments used in the research were the Internet addiction test (Young, 1998) and The European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (Del Rey et al., 2015) and questions about sociodemographic characteristics of respondents and online activities. The results show that 36.2% of the participants exhibit different symptoms of Internet addiction, while 50.7% of them partake in various forms of cyberbullying. Furthermore, it is established that the amount of time spent on the Internet on instant messaging, watching movies/videos, listening to music and playing online games correlates both with Internet addiction and with participating in cyberbullying among young people. The research confirmed the assumptions of the theory of routine activities and the results indicate that perpetrators of cyberbullying show a tendency to risky behavior also in other online activities. The paper presents the relationship between the level of Internet addiction and experience of cyberbullying and provides guidelines for future research in this area.
