U ovome radu autori nastoje dati kratak pregled utjecaja požara, odnosno podmetanja požara kao jednog od elemenata gospodarskih operacija u kontekstu tajnih akcija s posebnim naglaskom na pokazatelje ...za Republiku Hrvatsku i Sjedinjene Američke Države. Analizom znanstvene i stručne domaće i strane literature, relevantnih internetskih izvora te javno dostupnih državnih dokumenata (zakona, smjernica i strategija nacionalne sigurnosti), autori teorijski i praktično nastoje definirati utjecaj podmetanja požara na nacionalnu sigurnost, odnosno ekonomsku sigurnost određene zemlje koja je meta inicijatora tajne akcije. Također, u radu se problematizira pitanje povezanosti podmetanja požara i nacionalne sigurnosti kroz prizmu postojećih teorijskih definicija i pristupa nacionalnoj sigurnosti. Rad je usmjeren na detektiranje moguće poveznice između podmetanja požara kao dijela aktivnosti gospodarskih operacija u kontekstu tajnih akcija, ali nikako se ne mogu iznositi zaključci o njihovu stvarnom „utjecaju“ zbog nedostatka empirijskog istraživanja. S obzirom na neobrađenost predmetne tematike u hrvatskom znanstvenom prostoru, ovaj rad predstavlja određen iskorak u proučavanju zasebnih područja djelovanja unutar tajnih akcija te može poslužiti kao referentna točka za buduća istraživanja.
U posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća svjedočimo velikom razvoju istraživanja na području znanosti i religije. Jedan takav razvoj naziva se 'teologija prirode' (ToN), što uključuje aktivnost izgradnje ...ili revizije teoloških okvira u svjetlu suvremenih znanstvenih spoznaja, npr. evolucije, teorije kaosa i kvantne mehanike. Ian Barbour, John Polkinghorne i Arthur Peacocke, kršćanski mislioci, najpoznatiji su zagovornici ove vrste razmišljanja. Međutim, ovaj diskurs nije razmotren iz islamske perspektive. S obzirom na ovaj jaz, u članku razmatramo kako se ovaj način razmišljanja može obuhvatiti iz perspektive Ashʿarī škole mišljenja koja pripada sunitskoj islamskoj kalām tradiciji. Prvo ćemo razmotriti kako se ToN manifestira u djelima ranije spomenutih mislilaca. Nakon toga ističemo bitna načela ašʿarizma koja su relevantna za Boga, Njegovu interakciju sa stvorenim svijetom i znanost. One se potom uspoređuju s idejama navedenih mislilaca. Dolazimo do dva zaključka. Prvo, pokazujemo da se atomizam, koji se općenito shvaća općeprihvaćeno stajalište u Ashʿarī tradiciji, ne bi trebao smatrati teološkim gledištem, već prije filozofskim ili znanstvenim. Drugo, radi se važna razlika između znanstveno informirane teologije (SIT) i kontingentno informirane teologije (CIT). Za Ashʿarīje, CIT je dovoljan za razumijevanje Boga, ali smatraju da bi SIT prikazan u ToN bio problematičan. Motivacija i metodologija lokaliziranja ili modificiranja Božje prirode ili atributa koji bi odgovarali današnjoj znanosti bi se smatrala teološki neprimjernim i vrlo spornim oblikom scijentizma.
Rad se bavi ulogom medija u društvu te važnošću profesionalnoga izvještavanja i odgoja za medije, posebice u kontekstu djece i zaštite dječjih prava. Humanitarne akcije namijenjene djeci česta su ...tema u medijima, no paradoks je da su djeca i njihove potrebe, kao i njihova prava, posebice parvo na privatnost i izražavanje mišljenja, marginalizirani. Na javnost se često apelira putem medija kroz humanitarne akcije te se izazivanjem snažnih i krajnjih emocija potiče na pomoć. Nerijetko je baš u takvim slučajevima dijete kao glavni subjekt humanitarne akcije ogoljeno te je njegova intima dostupna svima, često pod argumentom da je sve što je u interesu javnosti opravdano. Cilj je rada, pregledom dosadašnjih spoznaja, ukazati na važnost zaštite djece kao najosjetljivije skupine društva i dječjih prava u prosocijalnim sadržajima kao što su humanitarne akcije. Rad će dati i pregled stanja prikazivanja humanitarnih akcija za pomoć djeci u afričkim zemljama.
The author writes about the role of the media in society, the importance of media ethics and media education, especially in the context of children and the protection of children’s rights. Humanitarian actions aimed at children in need are a frequent topic in the media, but, paradoxically, children and their needs as well as their rights, especially the right to privacy and the right to expression of opinion, are marginalised. The media often appeal to the audience to take part in extending aid through humanitarian actions and by stimulating extreme emotions among members of the audience. It often occurs in such cases that a child, as the main subject of a humanitarian action, gets overly exposed, his/her intimacy thus being accessible to everyone. Such phenomena are often accounted for by the argument that anything being done in the public interest is justified. The aim of this paper is to outline the importance of protecting children as the most vulnerable group of society and children’s rights in prosocial media content such as humanitarian actions. The paper also provides an overview of the status of reporting on humanitarian actions aimed to help children in African countries.
Through an ethnographic focus on humanitarne akcije in Bosnia and Herzegovina - a local form of raising monetary donations to people who need medical treatments abroad - this paper explores ...humanitarianism and its understandings of life. Ethnographically tracking the course of a humanitarna akcija organised in one Bosnian town, this paper makes two related points. First, it ethnographically demonstrates that lives of the 'helpers' and 'helped' in humanitarne akcije were understood as immersed in the intense talk and gossip of the town and as exposed to the sociopolitical environment troubled in the same way. Comparing this understanding of life with the international humanitarianism, this paper suggests that the notion of 'bare life' in international humanitarian projects in emergencies may be the product of the separation of infrastructures, which enable and manage lives of the 'savers' and 'saved'. Second, those who needed help through humanitarne akcije strongly criticised the lack of organised health care and social security in Bosnia and Herzegovina that pushed them to initiate humanitarne akcije. They criticised less how other people perceived them (the terms of their sociocultural recognition) and more the shrinking public health-care insurance, unavailability of medical treatments, unequal allocation of medicines, tissues and organs, and so forth (the unjust redistribution of resources). Their dissatisfactions imply that humanitarianism as an industry of aid can be criticised for failing to intervene in the global regimes of unequal redistribution of resources in a transformative way.
U radu se na osnovi postojećih informacija, kataloga manifestacija, arhivske i periodičke građe analiziraju intervencije likovnih umjetnika u javnom prostoru Novog Zagreba tijekom 1970-ih godina. ...Intervencije i manifestacije organizirane u javnom prostoru, kao jedan od najčešćih oblika umjetničkog djelovanja, potaknule su aktivaciju novoizgrađenih i kulturno zapostavljenih naselja grada Zagreba.
At the end of the 20th century the SE European region was surviving one of the most difficult periods of changing hegemony and dominance circumstances. The disintegration of the communist world and ...the collapse of former Yugoslavia, as part of the process, could be considered as the result of the new relations among big powers’ hegemonic systems. The NATO spreads to the European east (Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland etc.), which has direct influence on SE Europe. After new countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia) had been internationally recognised in 1992, and the loyal Slovenian and Croatian partnership with NATO in the Kosovo action in 1999 was proved, it is obvious that regional hegemony of the Serbia core region does not exist any more. Also Russian (former Soviet) attempts to play the role of the dominant leader in this region have been suppressed to a minimum. The author discusses European Union interests in this zone, and the way European countries include themselves in the process of pacifying and developing the region. After Slovenia joined the European Union in 2004, Bulgaria, Romania, and Croatia are expected to satisfy the conditions for entering EU in next 3 to five years. In the same time Serbia and Montenegro enters a new, more democratic phase of its development.
This article explores the role that the newsreel genre played in the production of socialist Yugoslav territory, understood as reshaping the body of the socius. We analyse news reports concerning ...voluntary youth labour actions, which were one of the most important features of Yugoslav socialist society and which featured heavily in Yugoslav official newsreels. We argue that the newsreel provided a specific liminal space in between the 'real'/non-cinematic and 'screened'/cinematic experience, where we locate occurrences of carnal encounters between the body on the cinematic screen and the body of the audience. In this regard, we discuss two characteristic types of frame which were present in the newsreel reports on labour actions: the somatic frame and the machinic-labour frame.
Our intuitive knowledge of physics mechanics, i.e. knowledge defined through personal experience about velocity, acceleration, motion causes, etc., is often wrong. This research examined whether ...similar misconceptions occur systematically in the case of vertical projectiles launched upwards. The first experiment examined inferences of velocity and acceleration of the ball moving vertically upwards, while the second experiment examined whether the mass of the thrown ball and force of the throw have an impact on the inference. The results showed that more than three quarters of the participants wrongly assumed that maximum velocity and peak acceleration did not occur at the initial launch of the projectile. There was no effect of object mass or effect of the force of the throw on the inference relating to the velocity and acceleration of the ball. The results exceed the explanatory reach of the impetus theory, most commonly used to explain the naive understanding of the mechanics of object motion. This research supports that the actions on objects approach and the property transmission heuristics may more aptly explain the dissidence between perceived and actual implications in projectile motion.
The analysis of youth work actions, one of the most long-lived and widespread phenomena in socialist Yugoslavia, primarily means dealing with the principle of workers' willingness to participate in ...them, during their organizational lifetime of nearly fifty years.
