Ekološka kriza kojom je pogođen svijet doživjela je dodatno pogoršanje zbog zdravstvene krize uzrokovane COVID-om19. U toj dvostrukoj krizi teško je odvojiti jednu krizu od druge. Svijest o ...povezanosti naizgled različitih kriza, ali i svih bića na Zemlji još je u 19. stoljeću iznjedrila pokušaje zajedničkih odgovora različitih znanstvenih disciplina. Ti pokušaji su kasnije dobili svoje pravo ime pod nazivom ‘One Health’ – jedno zdravlje. Riječ je o paradigmi koja nastoji raskrinkavati interakciju između čovjeka, životinja i biljaka te utjecaj jednih na druge. Ovaj članak pruža uvid u ključne karakteristike te paradigme, a pomoću biblijske teologije stvaranja i enciklike pape Franje ‘Laudato sì’, proširuje njezine vizije na područje teološko-bioetičkog promišljanja sa svrhom što cjelovitijeg interdisciplinarnog pristupa pitanju zajedničkog zdravlja u zajedničkom domu.
Ecological crisis which is affecting the whole world has been further exacerbated by the health crisis caused by Covid-19. In this double crisis it is difficult to separate one crisis from another. Awareness of the connections between seemingly different crises, but also awareness of connection between all being on earth, has been recognized in 19th century with attemps to find joint responses of different scientific disciplines. These attemps later have been called One Health. That is the paradigm that seeks to expose the interaction between human, animals and plants and their impact on each other. This article provides insight into the key features of this paradigm, and with the help of the biblical theology of creation and the encyclical of Pope Francis Laudato sì, expands visions of One Health to the field of theological-bioethical thinking with the purpose of a more comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to common health in the common home.
This study aimed to analyze the content of data availability statements (DAS) and the actual sharing of raw data in preprint articles about COVID-19. The study combined a bibliometric analysis and a ...cross-sectional survey. We analyzed preprint articles on COVID-19 published on medRxiv and bioRxiv from January 1, 2020 to March 30, 2020. We extracted data sharing statements, tried to locate raw data when authors indicated they were available, and surveyed authors. The authors were surveyed in 2020–2021. We surveyed authors whose articles did not include DAS, who indicated that data are available on request, or their manuscript reported that raw data are available in the manuscript, but raw data were not found. Raw data collected in this study are published on Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/6ztec/). We analyzed 897 preprint articles. There were 699 (78%) articles with Data/Code field present on the website of a preprint server. In 234 (26%) preprints, data/code sharing statement was reported within the manuscript. For 283 preprints that reported that data were accessible, we found raw data/code for 133 (47%) of those 283 preprints (15% of all analyzed preprint articles). Most commonly, authors indicated that data were available on GitHub or another clearly specified web location, on (reasonable) request, in the manuscript or its supplementary files. In conclusion, preprint servers should require authors to provide data sharing statements that will be included both on the website and in the manuscript. Education of researchers about the meaning of data sharing is needed.
The main aim of this paper is to present two different forms of human life extension. On the one hand there is dysthanasia, i.e. therapeutic persistence in the provision of life-sustaining measures ...to terminally ill patients, and on the other hand, transhumanism as a philosophical viewpoint which in its core strives towards unlimited extension of human life with the fundamental desire to eliminate disease, ageing and death. By putting them in correlation with the healthcare practice, the paper points to implications in clinical practice and draws attention to ethical and anthropological issues in connection with life extension.

Rad prezentira rezultate istraživanja o stavovima studenata preddiplomskoga studija sestrinstva na Hrvatskom katoličkom sveučilištu o praksi produženja života, o terapijskoj upornosti, tj. o ...distanaziji i o utjecaju transhumanističkih ideja na čovjekov život i na njihovu (buduću) sestrinsku profesiju. Istraživanje obuhvaća i stavove o smrti te o samom produljivanju ljudskoga života. Na temelju rezultata autori zaključuju da postoje razlike u stavovima i u poznavanju pojmova, koje su uglavnom povezane s radnim iskustvom i vrstom studija.
This paper presents the research results from a quantitative research study about the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students at the Catholic University of Croatia. The primary aim of this study was to investigate attitudes regarding the practice of life prolongation, therapeutic persistence, i.e. dysthanasia, and how transhumanist ideas impact students’ lives and their (future) nursing profession. Furthermore, the research study aimed to inquire about general attitudes on death and life prolongation. One hundred sixty–four undergraduate students participated in this study, including both full–time and part–time students. The respondents were surveyed by means of a questionnaire specially designed to inquire into both of these topics. After analysis, the results showed significant differences in attitudes and in the understanding of the terms dysthanasia and transhumanism among the respondents with and without work experience, and among full–time and part–time students. Nevertheless, results demonstrated that having work experience does not impact one’s understanding of dysthanasia, and a greater knowledge of the transhumanist ideal does not decrease acceptance of transhumanist ideas. Probably the most interesting of our results points to the fact that work experience significantly contributes to the creation of a precautionary attitude towards new medical technologies.
