Based on the fact that digitization of education and culture is one of the fundamental strategic objectives of the European Commission and based on the analysis of key documents published by the ...European Commission in recent years, it can be said that infrastructure, digital competences, and the use of digital content in the educational process are fundamental guidelines that will guide the transformation of educational systems in all EU Member States in the coming years. The aim of this article is to identify the factors, based on a survey of the respondents’ attitudes, that could drive digital transformation in secondary educational institutions in Croatia. Within the theoretical background of the technology acceptance model (TAM), the results of the survey of 185 teachers and subsequent factor analysis show that the material support of institutions is mandatory as a base for change, while individual factors such as fear of technology and digital enthusiasm could govern the teachers’ response to acceptance of the new technologies.
One of the key prerequisites in the process of preparing society and the state for future challenges is the development of the capabilities of the Intelligence Community (IC). The ability to collect ...necessary data and information about the intentions of an opponent, while simultaneously protecting one's own information resources, is essential for making quality and timely decisions. Examples from modern conflicts and wars confirm the extreme importance of using intelligence during various forms of action (either offensive or defensive) because it helps to perceive actual situation on the battlefield more objectively and reliably, thus enabling decisionmaking that should have a positive effect on the development of the situation. Ukraine, with the help of its allies and friends from the international community, learned many lessons from the defeat it experienced on the battlefield during the Russian invasion in 2014. It used the time between the two aggressions to develop its own defense capabilities, including the development of its IC in all necessary segments: human potential, technical capabilities, organizational forms. This is reflected, among other things, in the successful stopping of the Russian blitzkrieg against Kyiv and the sinking of the Russian missile cruiser Moskva. At the same time, they also showed deficiencies in the coordination of the IC's actions at the beginning of the Russian aggression, which, after wrong actions, were soon corrected.
Narrative voices in Ismet Prcić’s memoir/novel “Shards” are many; this article primarily focuses on what we refer to as the voice of the “silenced narrator” that appears to speak from a deep ...(“subdiegetic”) narrative level shaped by the unconscious workings of traumatic experience. Starting from psychological insights into traumatic states (Elbert and Schauer, Hunt, Crossley, etc.) and tracing the encoded symptoms of this illness across the text, the discussion moves on to a theoretical level to investigate notions proposed by authors such as Genette (to discuss narrative levels), Ricœur (in examining the construction of self), Caruth (in evaluating narrative implications of the literary voicing of trauma), Antonio Damasio (in exploring the source and the nature of the trauma-related destruction of the narratively voiced “I”), and others. These are used to establish the concept of a narrative subject whose voice emerges from the deep zone of their “proto-self” (Damasio), to be weaved into a distinctive narrative form that we will refer to as “proto-narrative.”
The paper presents the frequency and the types of media presentation of stories covering the topic of suicide. The word suicide may not be understood separate from either the medical term or the ...wider social and cultural context. The study has adopted a general point of view, according to which writing about the topic of suicide, provided the editorial staff respects the rules and the ethical code, can be of great assistance. The results of the analysis of the texts covering the topic of suicidal events, which had been published in the weekly newspaper Bjelovarski list in the period 2009–2015, are shown. Our aim is to illustrate to which extent the published texts tend to be of tabloid, sensationalist nature characteristic of the today’s journalism; to show whether journalists respect the guidelines and instructions issued by World Health Organization to the media in the context of tackling this phenomenon; and to indicate to the need of applying a critical approach when writing for the media and the need to raise the level of media literacy of both journalists and readers.
Cilj je ovim radom predstaviti poziciju dječjega lika u hrvatskome dugometražnom igranom filmu pa je radi toga provedena analiza sadržaja jedanaest odabranih filmova snimljenih u razdoblju od 1991. ...do 2020. godine. U teorijskome dijelu rada kreće se od pretpostavke kako je film, u prvome redu, medij masovne komunikacije koji s određenom svrhom i razlogom uspostavlja dijalog s publikom pa se u skladu s ovim određenjem nerijetko i pojavljuje kao interpretator društvenih zbivanja. Navedeno se pokazalo osobito zanimljivim u analiziranim filmovima, u kojima se upravo kroz lik djeteta nastoji ukazati na šire socijalne i kulturne probleme današnjice. Slijedom navedenih teorijskih polazišta upotpunjenih provedenom analizom sadržaja odabranih filmova, istraživanje je pokazalo kako se dječji likovi u hrvatskome filmu uglavnom pojavljuju kao važni sudionici i svjedoci te izravnije ili posrednije žrtve u pravilu obiteljskih drama i zategnutih odnosa među odraslima, najčešće roditeljima.
