Cilj. Rad prikazuje edukacijske radionice o načinima korištenja informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije organizirane za korisnike Narodne knjižnice „Petar Preradović“ Bjelovar svih dobnih skupina, ...održane u razdoblju od 2012. do 2018. godine. Također obrađuje problematiku uloge narodnih knjižnica u kontekstu edukacije korisnika i cjeloživotnog učenja, knjižničarske kompetencije za provođenje edukacija te informiranosti korisnika o programima koje knjižnica provodi.
Metodologija. Metodološki pristup temi ogleda se u istraživanju literature vezane uz edukacijske radionice i programe u narodnim knjižnicama, sintezi tog istraživanja, kritičkom promišljanju o temi te primjerima dobre prakse.
Rezultati. Uvidom u relevantnu stručnu i znanstvenu literaturu te kroz primjere dobre prakse provedenih radionica i vrednovanja njihove korisnosti iz perspektive sudionika uočeno je da narodne knjižnice mogu uspješno provoditi različite oblike neformalnog obrazovanja koji obuhvaćaju predavanja, radionice, tečajeve, okrugle stolove i sl. u suradnji sa širom lokalnom zajednicom, ustanovama i udrugama kako bi poboljšale informacijsku pismenost svojih korisnika, ali i utjecale na širi razvoj društva.
Vrijednost. Rad naglašava vrijednost neformalnog obrazovanja i cjeloživotnog učenja kako u teoriji tako i u praksi, odnosno stavlja naglasak na primjere dobre prakse koji bi trebali poslužiti kao uzor drugim knjižničarima, tj. kao smjernice za provođenje programa neformalnog obrazovanja u knjižnicama.
U ožujku 2020. godine vrata hrvatskih muzeja zatvorena su na nekoliko tjedana kako bi se spriječilo širenje bolesti COVID-19. Razdoblje fizičke zatvorenosti dodatno se produžilo za pojedine ...zagrebačke muzeje teško stradale u potresu. Nakon otvaranja, kao i u mnogim drugim muzejima u Europi i svijetu, fizičke posjete i dalje su smanjene i muzeji bilježe drastičan pad posjetitelja te financijske gubitke. Kao odgovor na trenutnu situaciju, s ciljem nastavka ispunjavanja svoje društvene, kulturne i obrazovne funkcije, muzeji su se okrenuli internetu i društvenim mrežama kao mjestima za dijalog s korisnicima, diseminaciju sadržaja i prezentaciju događanja koja se ne mogu fizički organizirati. Mnogi muzeji posvetili su se stvaranju internetskih resursa poput digitalnih izložbi, virtualnih tura, materijala za e-učenje, internetskih konferencija te se na različite načine i na različitim platformama nastoje povezati sa svojom publikom. Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti kako su hrvatski muzeji korištenjem digitalnih medija prilagodili svoje usluge i sadržaje novim uvjetima poslovanja. U radu su analizirane i vrednovane aktivnosti muzeja na mrežnim stranicama i društvenim mrežama u godini dana od početka pandemije. Rezultati ukazuju na kvantitativno kao i kvalitativno bogatu internetsku prisutnost muzeja, koja bi mogla značiti početak nove ere u digitalnoj komunikaciji i diseminaciji baštinskih sadržaja. Istraživanje zaključuje da je digitalizacija aktivnosti muzeja nužna za buduću održivost muzejskih funkcija te potiče daljnja razmišljanja o smjeru digitalnog pristupa kulturi i baštini.
Prelazak s učioničke nastave na nastavu na daljinu u cijelom odgojno-obrazovnom sustavu Republike Hrvatske započeo 13. ožujka 2020. godine zbog pandemije novog zaraznog koronavirusa COVID-19. ...Navedeno je uvjetovalo nagli prelazak na nastavu na daljinu i niz poteškoća tijekom njene realizacije pa je stoga provedeno istraživanje kojem je cilj bio utvrditi stavove studenta, budućih učitelja razredne nastave, i učitelja praktičara o nastavi na daljinu u kojoj su sudjelovali. Rezultati provedenoga istraživanja pokazuju značajne razlike u percepciji prelaska s učioničke nastave na nastavu na daljinu koja je učiteljima praktičarima bila teža za organizirati i realizirati. Istraživanjem su utvrđeni stavovi o nastavi na daljinu te stavovi o nastavi na televiziji. Dobiveni rezultati istraživanja mogu poslužiti za unapređenje nastave na daljinu koja će se provoditi po potrebi izmjenjujući se s nastavom u učionici.
The paper analyses various metaphysical and eschatological implications of transhumanism, especially in the light of its idea of the immortality of the human species. Through a concise interpretation ...of the historical framework of the emergence of the transhumanist movement, the paper highlights its main features such as human improvement, overcoming human nature, and overcoming inherent human deficiencies using modern scientific disciplines and modern technologies. Those features help understand metaphysics and eschatology as formed by some aspects of transhumanism. These aspects are unquestionably technological and secular in their principles, as they distance themselves from the religious understanding of human longing and death. Often, death is understood as a mistake, while the process of ageing is seen as a pathological, humiliating but curable condition. Transhumanism thus marks the end of the humantranscendental perspective of a free individual, created by the goodness of God and saved by the love of God, through the mystery of Jesus Christ. The paper argues that technocratic solutions cannot fulfil fundamental human longings.
This paper features an overview of the foundations of transhumanism. The transhumanist movement has existed since the end of the 20th century and espouses the use of technology for enhancing the ...human condition. Due to a certain level of similarity to posthumanism, this overview of transhumanism begins with an analysis of basic terminology: transhumanism, posthumanism, the transhuman being and the posthuman being. After that, transhumanism is studied from the perspectives of different disciplines. These disciplines are: philosophy of science, metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion and political philosophy.
Abstract Introduction Poor adoption of electronic health records among healthcare workers can diminish their impact. Healthcare informatics solutions development should diligently acknowledge ...end-user needs. This study compares a user experience and perceived quality of the nursing process integration in two different applications for electronic documentation of the nursing care plan. Both applications were designed and tested in Slovenia. Methods In the first phase, final year undergraduate nursing students were recruited (n=73) and randomly assigned into two groups. Each group used one of the applications for a duration of five hours. A survey among students was conducted. In the second phase, additional students were recruited (n=40) and invited to participate in qualitative analysis of the unfavourably rated application. Results The modern, visually improved application was favourably rated by students in terms of all aspects of application usability. However, students reported a significant number of inadequacies regarding the nursing process methodology integration. On the contrary, the students using the poorly rated and visually outdated application reported no such concerns. Qualitative analysis of student reflections identified additional positive features of software design that were not detected in survey results analysis. Conclusion This study showed that a user-centred approach can be used to compare diverse electronic solutions. Detected discrepancies in findings using qualitative and quantitative analysis show the importance of integrating diverse research approaches for adequate evaluation of software solutions. Furthermore, this study design promotes empowerment of healthcare workers to participate in the development and critical evaluations of software solutions.
Mass customization (MC) is gaining steadyattention in both industry and academia. Recently,MC implementation guidelines (MC-IGs) have been identified as an emerging sub-stream of MC research. A ...review of thissub-stream has beenpublishedin the current year,with a practitioner-oriented view. The present paper complementsthat review by focusing on the researchers’ need to improve the way MC-IGs are developed and communicated. By providing data generated from asystematic literature review on MC-IGs,the present paper informs researchers abouthow much and in which way certain aspectsof MC-IGs havebeen considered in the available guidelines. Through a systematic and detailed description of the published MC-IGs, the present article supports researchers to clearly communicatethesimilarities and differences intheir proposed advancements on MC-IGs. Finally, by reflecting on the very nature of the output of MC-IG research,this article suggests open and wide adoption ofthe design science research strategy to develop and test MC-IGs.
Antimony tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation with tin chloride and antimony chloride as the main raw materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning ...electron microscopy (FESEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry were used to characterize the crystal structure, morphology and laser reflectivity. The effects of the pH value, co-precipitation reaction temperature, calcination temperature and calcination time on the laser reflectivity of ATO nanoparticles were studied. The results show that, compared with the undoped SnO2 powder, the reflectivity of a Sb-doped ATO powder at a laser wavelength of 1.06 µm is significantly reduced, and with an increase in the Sb doping, the reflectivity of the ATO powder at 1.06 µm first decreases and then increases. When the Sb/Sn molar ratio is 2/10, the reflectivity decreases to the lowest point, which is caused by the high concentration of Sb5+. ATO powders (Sb/Sn = 2/10) prepared at a titration-end-point pH of 2, co-precipitation temperature of 70 °C, calcination temperature of 800 °C and calcination time of 6 h have the lowest laser reflectivity at the laser wavelength of 1.06 µm, which is less than 0.02 %.
When introducing and using technology in nursing, there is a danger that too much focus is placed on technology over caring for patients. The 'Technological competency as caring in nursing' theory ...can facilitate technology in caring, but the theory needs to be described, analysed and evaluated before it is used. The purpose of the literature review was to determine the possibility of applying the theory in education, research and practice, and whether the theory could be used to guide research into the use of electronic nursing record systems.
A literature search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and Google Books, and supplemented with manual searching using the keywords 'Locsin', 'technology', 'caring' and 'nursing theory'. The criteria for inclusion were fully accessible articles and books in English on the relevant topics. The review process is shown in a PRISMA diagram. A hierarchy of evidence was used to evaluate the relative strength of the results. Pajnkihar's model was used to describe, analyse and evaluate the theory.
A total of 26 hits were included in the final analysis. The theory in question meets the criteria of clarity, simplicity and complexity, adequacy, importance and significance; it can be tested; and it is useful in patient care that employs technology.
The theory is useful in nursing education, research and practice. The theory will be used to guide research on the perception of technological competency and care of internal medicine patients by nurses when using the electronic nursing record system in three Slovenian hospitals.
Rad problematizira kulturno-obrazovnu ulogu knjižnice kao mjesnog, obavijesnog, obrazovnog i kulturnog središta lokalne zajednice u suvremenom informacijskom društvu te prikazuje promjene njezine ...kulturno-obrazovne paradigme uslijed pandemije bolesti COVID-19, globalne zdravstvene i društvene krize uzrokovane širenjem koronavirusa. Ukazuje na ulogu informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije u prevladavanju komunikacijskog jaza s korisnicima knjižnica koji je nastupio uvođenjem epidemioloških mjera, odnosno zatvaranjem njihovih fizičkih prostora. Metodološki pristup temelji se na dostupnoj relevantnoj literaturi, prvenstveno iz područja bibliotekarstva i informacijskih znanosti, ali i drugih znanosti. Istraživanje je provedeno anketnim upitnikom i uvidom u službene statističke podatke knjižnica Bjelovarsko-bilogorske županije radi dobivanja podataka o utjecajima epidemioloških mjera na njihovo poslovanje (promjena radnog vremena, zabranjen/ograničen boravak korisnika u prostoru knjižnice) te na kvantitativnu i kvalitativnu razinu kulturno-obrazovnih usluga koju pružaju zajednici. Uvidom u rezultate empirijskog istraživanja uočeno je da narodne knjižnice mogu uspješno provoditi različite kulturno-obrazovne usluge prilagođene funkcioniranju u kriznim situacijama (kao što je doba pandemije bolesti COVID-19) te pomoću informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije zadržati svoju važnu kulturno-obrazovnu ulogu u lokalnoj zajednici I društvu.
