In this work, we investigate how parochial concerns for common resources, such as tax-funded goods, relate to prejudice against immigrants. Previous experimental work showed majority groups assume ...minorities will exploit common resources without contributing toward their maintenance. We relate predictions about, and support for, various types of common resources to prejudice against immigrants in two correlational studies. Prejudice against immigrants was negatively associated with support for universal, but positively with security-related resources. Participants' prediction that minority groups would contribute less to the management of communally shared resources was reflected in the degree of negative attitudes they expressed against immigrants in particular. We discuss these results in view of political narratives about immigrants and common resource management policies.

Radio Zagreb, začet u radioamaterskom klubu, započeo je svoj pro-fesionalni put 1926. godine. Njegova tehnička ekipa kroz cijelu je povijest postojanja nastojala slijediti tehnološki napredak, ...programskoj ekipi osigu-rati suvremene uvjete rada, a slušateljima kvalitetan prijem, usprkos brojnim političkim i financijskim preprekama i previranjima. Od jedne stanice sa sla-bašnim srednjevalnim odašiljačem do mreže Hrvatskoga radija s tri nacio-nalna, osam regionalnih i jednim internacionalnim programom u zemaljskoj, digitalnoj satelitskoj, kabelskoj i internetskoj distribuciji trebalo je prihvatiti niz promjena u tehnologijama, izgrađivati nove studije i reportažna kola, mi-jenjati standarde, a ipak održati kontinuitet. Ovim se tekstom želimo podsje-titi na brojne inženjere i tehničare koji su to ostvarili.

Na tada več vrlo stabilnim temeljima Radio Zagreba, 1956. je na-stala Televizija Zagreb, danas Hrvatska televizija. Okolnosti joj nisu omogu-ćile da nastane ranije, iako je snažna želja, osobito u ...tehničkim krugovima, postojala. Napokon su se tih godina stekli uvjeti za investicije i razvoj koji je, kada je napokon krenuo, bio nezaustavljiv. Iako se susretala s još većim po-teškoćama nego stariji brat radio zbog svojih većih zahtjeva na prostor i ljudske resurse, skuplje tehnologije i općenito skuplje produkcije, televizija je kroz dugi niz godina imala veliku podršku publike. Prijelomni trenutak bilo je preseljenje na Prisavlje u velike studije te ulaganja u terensku tehniku što je omogućilo realizaciju najzahtjevnih programskih projekata u ovom dijelu Eu-rope. Ovaj tekst odaje priznanje ljudima koji su to ostvarili.
U radu je prikazan model informacijskog sustava tjednog i mjesečnog planiranja emitiranja TV emisija. Model može poslužiti za razvoj funkcije planiranja emitiranja za javne TV servise. Definirani su ...relevantni podaci i njihove međusobne ovisnosti te operacije nad podacima. Model podataka je prikazan metodom ER MIRIS. Predloženo je čuvanje više verzija plana. Zasebno se planira pojedinačni dan u tjednu, a potom se ti podaci kopiraju u plan za konkretni datum u odgovarajućoj shemi.
U radu je prikazana procedura godišnjeg planiranja programa i planiranja proizvodnje kojom se osigurava pravovremeno, realno i cjelovito planiranje emitiranja i proizvodnje TV programa za javne TV ...servise. Procedurom su povezani zadaci koji se izvršavaju u raznim glavnim poslovnim procesima, a kao rezultat daju usklađene planove emitiranja i proizvodnje u okviru zadanog budžeta i raspoloživih ljudskih i tehničkih resursa. Objašnjena je metoda izrade procedure. Neki važniji zadaci su detaljnije prikazani i opisani navodeći: aktere, ulazne tokove, rezultate rada, vezu s drugim zadacima, odgovornosti.
Velike medijske kuće, kao što je Hrvatska radiotelevizija (skraćeno HRT), čija je djelatnost proizvodnja i emitiranje radijskog i televizijskog programa, imaju složen sustav, te imaju i složen ...informacijski sustav. U radu je prikazan proces planiranja televizijskih emisija i proces praćenja emitiranja televizijskih emisija. Pored emitiranja važan proces vezan uz televiziju kao medij je proizvodnja TV emisija. Model procesa emitiranja je dobiven intervjuiranjem eksperata na tom polju te analizom kolanja dokumentacije u sustavu. Rezultat je model procesa prikazan metodom dijagrama toka podataka. Ovaj model je prva faza analize izgradnje informacijskog sustava. Sam postupak reinženjeringa, metode modeliranja procesa s ciljem promijene poslovanja nisu obuhvaćene ovim radom.
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in female population worldwide. In the psychological response to the disease some patients may develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) ...symptomatology. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and structure of PTSD symptoms in Croatian patients following breast cancer and to identify some medical and psychological predictors of severity of these symptoms.
Subjects and methods: 97 women, who were one month up to six years post-completion of all primary cancer therapy, participated in the study. The present research is cross-sectional with a mixed method approach. For the screening of PTSD symptoms PTSD Checklist - Civilian Version (Weathers et al. 1991) was used, with two open-ended questions added.
Results: Using the cutoff method, 21.6 % participants met criteria for PTSD diagnosis. Qualitative analysis indicated future-oriented intrusive thoughts about reoccurrence of cancer, multidimensional nature of cancer as stressors, and hyperarousal symptoms related to internal stimuli. In hierarchical multiple regression analyses, identified predictors accounted for 35.2% of variability in PCL-C score. PTSD severity was predicted by stressfulness appraisal of the disease (β=0.45; p<0.001), external health locus of control (β=0.17; p<0.05) and self-appraisal of coping with cancer (β=-0.17; p<0.05). Participants who underwent radical mastectomy (M=44.41, SD=15.5) showed higher levels of PTSD than participants who had partial mastectomy (M=33.47, SD=13.68). Conclusion: Prevalence of PTSD symptoms obtained in this study should be considered as significant, taking into account the lifetime prevalence of PTSD in the general female population. Psychological assessment of women following breast cancer should more often include an assessment of posttraumatic stress reactions. Furthermore, results are in the line with issues of utilizing basic concept of PTSD in the oncology setting, and possible need of reconceptualization of cancer-related PTSD.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive technique with few side effects that has been reported to be effective in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). At ...present, no randomized controlled trials (RCT) have compared the efficacy and safety of rTMS delivered by the figure-8-coil and the H1-coil. We describe an industry-independent, randomized, controlled, single-blinded, single-center study protocol assessing the differences in efficacy and safety of rTMS for patients diagnosed with MDD with the H1-coil and figure-8-coil as an add-on to stable pharmacotherapy or pharmacotherapy alone. Stimulation protocols follow those that led to the FDA clearance of these treatments for MDD. The sample of 76 patents in each of the three groups will be enrolled and assessed with clinical and neuropsychological tests. The primary outcome is remission rate defined as Hamilton depression rating scale (HAM-D17) score ≤7 at the end of week-4. This clinical trial will address the efficacy and safety of rTMS modalities for MDD. The evaluation of biological markers will also help to elucidate the pathophysiology of MDD and the mechanisms of action of rTMS.
