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.
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.
ABSTRACT
Digital technology has a great potential for assisting older people in their everyday tasks and general well‐being. However, older adults are relatively slow to adopt the new technology and ...one of the obstacles may be their negative perception or perceived uselessness of the technology. The paper presents preliminary findings from a study into the attitudes toward digital technology and its perceived usefulness among the older adults in the city of Osijek, Croatia. Results show that majority of respondents have positive attitudes toward digital technology and majority perceives it as very useful. The study identified a number of factors, such as age, gender, education and quality of life that affect the respondents’ varying attitudes toward digital technology and its perceived usefulness. The research findings can help policy makers and local institutions such as libraries in designing digital literacy courses and provision of support to older adults.
This article presents the analysis of the production costs of hardwood elements produced by computer aided technology of rip-cross sawing with pre-planing of sawn boards. In this procedure, sawn wood ...is planed prior to sawing to calibrate the thickness of sawn elements and to make wood defects more visible on the surface. Preplaning contributes to more successful further processing of the sawn elements. The costs of production technology of pre-planed sawn elements were compared with the costs of the classic cross-rip production technology of sawn elements and with the costs of computer aided rip-cross production technology without pre-planing. Research results show that computer aided production technology with pre-planing of sawn elements gives the best productivity, the lowest consumption of electricity per product unit, the best control of the number of produced elements, and the best utilization of sawn wood since the quality is defi ned by using wood scanners. Further to the above, it can be concluded that better results are achieved by computer aided technology with pre-planing than by two other researched technologies. The disadvantage of this technology is the starting investment, since the price of this technology is significantly higher than that of other two researched technologies. This research should help investors in decision making process when choosing between different technologies of wood element production.
U radu se predstavljaju rezultati istraživanja čiji je cilj bio ispitati kako i za- što korisnici koriste računala i internet u hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama. Polazište istraživanja bile su dvije ...pretpostavke: a) unatoč relativno visokoj razini informatizacije hrvatskog društva, općenito građani i dalje imaju potrebu za besplatnim pristupom internetu u svojim lokalnim narodnim knjižnicama te b) korisnici se knjižničnim ra- čunalima i internetom služe u različite svrhe (informiranje, komuniciranje, zabava, obrazovanje itd.). Istraživanjem, u kojem je sudjelovao 191 korisnik računalnih usluga iz narodnih knjižnica u istočnoj Hrvatskoj, potvrđene su polazne pretpostavke. Prema dobivenim rezultatima najčešći korisnici računala i interneta u knjižnici su osobe između 19 i 34 godine koje koriste računalo/internet u narodnoj knjižnici najčešće (47,1 posto) zato što im je usput (jer se u knjižnici već nalaze zbog vraćanja/posudbe knjiga i sl.) i zato što je besplatno (26,7 posto). Najveći broj ispitanika računala u knjižnici koristi za pretraživanje interneta (55,0 posto) i za pisanje zadaća/seminara/referata i slično (53,4 posto), a kao probleme pri korištenju računala/interneta u knjižnicama navode nedovoljan broj računala za korisnike (40,8 posto) te stara i spora računala (30,9 posto). Očekuje se da će dobiveni rezultati istraživanja knjižničarima ponuditi bolju predodžbu o stvarnim potrebama i obrascima ponašanja korisnika tih knjižničnih usluga te da će korištena metodologija biti polazište i povod za buduća slična i longitudinalna istraživanja, po mogućnosti šireg obuhvata.
