Laws of the Sea assembles scholars from law, geography, anthropology, and environmental humanities to consider the possibilities of a critical ocean approach in legal studies. Unlike the United ...Nations’ monumental Convention on the Law of the Sea, which imagines one comprehensive constitutional framework for governing the ocean, Laws of the Sea approaches oceanic law in plural and dynamic ways. Critically engaging contemporary concerns about the fate of the ocean, the collection’s twelve chapters range from hydrothermal vents through the continental shelf and marine genetic resources to coastal communities in France, Sweden, Florida, and Indonesia. Documenting the longstanding binary of land and sea, the chapters pose a fundamental challenge to European law’s “terracentrism” and its pervasive influence on juridical modes of knowing and making the world. Together, the chapters ask: is contemporary Eurocentric law—and international law in particular—capable of moving away from its capitalist and colonial legacies, established through myriad oceanic abstractions and classifications, toward more amphibious legalities? Laws of the Sea will appeal to legal scholars, geographers, anthropologists, cultural and political theorists, as well as scholars in the environmental humanities, political ecology, ocean studies, and animal studies.
Važnost je romantičnih odnosa u adolescenciji i ranoj odrasloj dobi neupitna. Dok turbulencije na romantičnome planu mogu utjecati na mentalno zdravlje, problemi s potonjim mogu se odraziti na ...romantičnu kompetentnost adolescenata. Model individualnih razlika predlaže da navedenu povezanost moderiraju individualne karakteristike pojedinca, uključujući relacijske aspekte samopoimanja. Budući da su istraživanja navedenih konstrukata u hrvatskim znanstvenim krugovima još uvijek nedovoljno zastupljena, cilj je ovoga pilot-istraživanja bio ispitati doprinose spola, dobi te relacijskih aspekata samopoimanja u objašnjenju emocionalnoga distresa. Istraživanje je provedeno u proljeće 2021. godine putem online-upitnika. Prigodni su uzorak sačinjavale 194 mlade osobe u kasnoj adolescenciji i ranoj odrasloj dobi, a prosječna je dob sudionika bila 19 godina. Žene su sačinjavale 78 % uzorka, a 62 % sudionika u trenutku provedbe istraživanja bilo je u romantičnoj vezi. Osim odgovora na demografska pitanja i pitanja o uključenosti u romantične odnose, sudionici su ispunili skraćenu verziju Skale depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa te Upitnik za procjenu odnosa. Da bismo testirali postavljene hipoteze, provedena je hijerarhijska regresijska analiza. Rezultati su razmotreni s polazišta teorije sociometra te pokazuju da veća relacijska depresivnost mladih previđa veću izraženost simptoma depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa. Pritom uključenost u romantične odnose ima značajnu moderatorsku ulogu pa mladi koji su u vezi imaju izraženije probleme mentalnoga zdravlja kada je njihovo relacijsko samopouzdanje nisko, a relacijska depresivnost izraženija. Dobiveni nalazi pružaju smjernice za buduća istraživanja, ali i sugeriraju mogućnost promocije mentalnoga zdravlja jačanjem interpersonalnih kompetencija u adolescenciji.
U Hrvatskoj se razvoj društveno odgovornog ponašanja odvija vrlo sporo. Stoga je glavni cilj neprofitnih organizacija iznaći rješenja za socijalne probleme koje državne strukture nisu pravovremeno ...detektirale, dok je njihova misija podrška društvu (uglavnom marginalnim skupinama), jačanju humanosti i volonterstva i podizanju svijesti javnosti o društveno relevantnim pitanjima. Ovaj rad bavi se odnosima s javnošću u neprofitnim organizacijama na primjeru udruga osoba s invaliditetom. Cilj rada je definirati odnose s javnošću, objasniti što su to neprofitne organizacije i udruge osoba s invaliditetom u Hrvatskoj te analizirati odnose s javnošću u hrvatskim udrugama osoba s invaliditetom na temelju ankete. Rad je podijeljen u dva dijela. Prvi dio daje teoretski pregled odnosa s javnošću u neprofitnim organizacijama, definira što su to udruge osoba s invaliditetom u Hrvatskoj te pruža teorijski i pravni okvir. Drugi dio je istraživanje i sastoji se od prikaza stavova i mišljenja zaposlenika o odnosima s javnošću u udrugama osoba s invaliditetom i analize dobivenih podataka putem ankete.
The development of socially responsible behavior has been very slow in Croatia. The main goal of non-profit organizations is to come up with solutions for social problems that the government organizations have not detected in a timely manner, while their mission is to provide support to society (mainly marginal groups), enhance humanity and volunteerism and raise public awareness of socially relevant issues. This paper deals with public relations in non-profit organizations based on the example of associations of persons with disabilities. The aim of this paper is to define public relations, non-profit organizations and associations of persons with disabilities in Croatia and to analyze public relations in Croatian associations of persons with disabilities based on the survey. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part gives a theoretical overview of public relations in non-profit organizations, defines associations of persons with disabilities in Croatia and provides a theoretical and legal framework. The second part comprises research that consists of employee attitudes to and opinions about public relations in associations of persons with disabilities and the analysis of data obtained through a survey.
Cilj je ovog istraživanja ispitati doprinos varijabli obiteljskog i varijabli vršnjačkog konteksta u objašnjenju samopoštovanja tijekom rane, srednje i kasne adolescencije. U istraživanju je ...sudjelovalo 344 osnovnoškolaca, 370 srednjoškolaca te 357 studenata. Prosječna dob sudionika u skupini mlađih adolescenata iznosi M = 12.6 (SD = 0.63), u skupini srednjih adolescenata M = 16.5 (SD = 0.57), a u skupini starijih adolescenata M = 20.6 (SD = 1.17). Primijenjeni su sljedeći instrumenti: Upitnik općih podataka, Upitnik roditeljskog prihvaćanja-odbacivanja, Skala obiteljske prilagodljivosti i kohezivnosti, Upitnik kvalitete prijateljstva, Upitnik privrženosti vršnjacima – revidirana verzija i Rosenbergova skala za mjerenje samopoštovanja. Rezultati provedenih hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza upućuju na to da set prediktorskih varijabli objašnjava 38% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod mlađih, 21% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod srednjih i 27% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod starijih adolescenata. Kada su u pitanju obiteljske varijable, u skupini mlađih i srednjih adolescenata značajni su prediktori samopoštovanja varijable roditeljsko prihvaćanje-odbacivanje od strane majke i obiteljska prilagodljivost i kohezivnost, a kod starijih adolescenata varijable roditeljsko prihvaćanje-odbacivanje od strane majke i oca. Od varijabli vršnjačkog konteksta kao značajan prediktor samopoštovanja u sve tri skupine adolescenata izdvojila se kvaliteta privrženosti vršnjacima. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na to da je pri razmatranju obiteljskih i vršnjačkih odrednica samopoštovanja kod adolescenata nužno uzeti u obzir različite oblike obiteljskih i vršnjačkih interakcija, ali i uvažavati razvojne specifičnosti pojedinih razdoblja adolescencije.
The aim of this paper was to examine the contribution of family, and peers context variables in explaining the variance of self-esteem during early, middle, and late adolescence. The research sample consisted of 344 elementary school students, 370 high school students and 357 college students. The average age of participants was M = 12.6 (SD = 0.63) for young adolescents, M = 16.5 (SD = 0.57) for middle adolescents, and M = 20.6 (SD = 1.17) for older adolescents. The following instruments were applied: General Data Questionnaire, Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, Friendship Quality Questionnaire, Inventory of Peer Attachment-Revised and Self-esteem Scale. The results of hierarchical analyses indicate that set of predictor variables account for 38% of total variance of self-esteem in young, 21% of total variance of self-esteem in middle and 27% of total variance of self-esteem in older adolescents. With respect to family context variables, the self-esteem was significantly predicted by parental acceptance-rejection of mothers and family cohesion and adaptability in young and middle adolescents, and by perceived parental acceptance-rejection of both (mothers and fathers) in older adolescents. Considering peer context variables, in all three adolescent groups, the self-esteem was significantly predicted by perceived quality of attachment with peers. The results of this study indicate the necessity of taking into account the different forms of family and peers interactions, as well as the developmental specificities of a particular period of adolescence when considering family and peers determinants of self-esteem in adolescents.
Za stručnost, kao najvažniju i najcjenjeniju osobinu dobroga govornika,može se reći da je i danas jednako važna kao i u antičko doba. Još jeCiceron govorio kako dobar govornik mora biti mudar, ...posjedovatiširoko znanje i visoku razinu opće kulture. I suvremeni autori naglašavajuvažnost stručnosti, kompetencije i znanja, kao primarnih, uz dodatke jošnekih specifičnih odrednica poput uvjerljivosti, časti i karizme. Cilj ovogaistraživanja bio je ustanoviti kako pojam karizme doživljavaju studenti,kako ga definiraju i koju osobu percipiraju kao karizmatičnu. Odabranisu studenti sa studija Odnosa s javnošću i studija medija na kojem seobrazuju stručnjaci za odnose s javnošću, osviješteni i educirani zaprepoznavanje i najmanjih tragova iznimnih karizmatičnih darova usvakom pojedincu.
For the expertise, as the most important and appreciated characteristicof a good speaker, it can be said that it is still as important today as inancient times. Cicero said that a good speaker must be wise, possessbroad knowledge and a high level of general culture. Contemporaryauthors also emphasise the importance of expertise, competence andknowledge, as primary ones with addition to some specific determinantssuch as persuasion, honour and charisma. The aim of this research wasto determine how the concept of charisma is perceived by students, howthey define it and which public figures they perceive as charismatic.Students were selected from the Public Relations and Media Studies,where public relations experts are educated, made aware and trainedto recognize even the smallest traces of exceptional charismatic gifts ineach individual.
Relationship commitment is one of the key constructsin studies on relationship quality and stability. In this study, the Investment Model (Rusbult, 1980) was used as a theoretical basis, where ...commitment is emphasized as the central construct for relationship maintenance and endurance. The aim of the study was to examine the role of psychological violence in predicting commitment and perceived relationship stability within the aforementioned model. The participants were students of the University of Zagreb (N = 154), with female students (77.9%) being more represented in the sample. The obtained results confirmed the assumptions of the basic model and all regression analyses resulted in a high percentage of explained variance of the examined criteria. The frequency of experiencing psychological violence was a significant negative predictor of commitment and perceived relationship stability, and this relationship was only partially mediated by other examined constructs. Contrary to expectations, more frequent experiencing of psychological violence also had a direct contribution in predicting less perceived relationship stability. The paper discusses the meaning of individual mediation effects and their contribution to explaining the relationships between the investigated constructs. The implications for future studies and for potential practical application of the results are also indicated. Key words: psychological violence; commitment; stability; partner relationships; Investment model
The paper analyzes the interdependence of public diplomacy and public relations as increasingly present and increasingly important disciplines in international activities of countries. It ...investigates their theoretical foundations and practice, with particular emphasis on common points and overlap. In point of fact, although there has been an awareness of the connection between these two disciplines since the 1960s when public diplomacy emerged as a term and a separate diplomatic and communication discipline, since 2001, theorists and practitioners have increasingly written about the interdependence and convergence of public diplomacy and public relations. In its beginnings, public diplomacy was more associated with propaganda or reduced to cultural diplomacy programs, while public relations was perceived through the model of one-way public information. In modern times, public relations is increasingly perceived through the two-way communication symmetrical model, the purpose of which is to achieve understanding and build relationships with key publics. Public diplomacy is usually viewed through three areas of activities: information management, long-term strategic communication campaigns, and relationship management. Therefore, the author considers public diplomacy without public relations, i.e., its consideration outside theory and practice of public relations inconceivable. Only through synergy, joint activities and the use of similar strategies and tactics can public diplomacy and public relations achieve full effectiveness in international communication and activities of the state towards the target audiences and influence their knowledge, opinion and behavior.

The article deals with the ...realation between mataphors, social and technological paradigm, in relation to the coneceptualisation oft he body, as well as social relations.
Ovaj članak proučava razvoj rumunjsko-jugoslavenskih odnosa od 1948. do 1964. godine. Istražuju se dva različita razdoblja u njihovim odnosima. Prvo je od 1948. do 1953. godine, kad je došlo do ...sovjetsko-jugoslavenskog i rumunjsko-jugoslavenskog sukoba koji je, zapravo, predstavljao presedan koji će postupno razoriti jedinstvo socijalističkog tabora. Za drugo razdoblje (od 1954. do 1964.) vezani su početak normalizacije i zbližavanje Bukurešta i Beograda. To je odgovaralo njihovim nacionalnim interesima i predstavljalo je protutežu politici supersila. U vanjskoj politici dviju zemalja odražavali su se ideološka neslaganja i potreba za društveno-ekonomskim razvojem, a osjećao se i snažan utjecaj i iz komunističkog bloka i izvan njega.
Prema gledištu evolucijske psihologije manipulacija uključuje načine na koje ljudi namjerno pokušavaju mijenjati ponašanje drugih (Buss, 1987). Manipulativno ponašanje ima svoj razlog, svrhu ili ...cilj, a korištenje pojedinih taktika manipulacije ovisi o tome što želimo postići. Vrsta odnosa uvjetuje vrstu taktike koja se smatra primjerenom, a romantični su odnosi osobito bogat izvor informacija o aspektima manipulativnog ponašanja. Cilj je ovoga rada bio utvrditi psihometrijske karakteristike (konstruktnu valjanost i pouzdanost) prevedenih verzija skala taktika manipulacije (Tactics of Manipulation; Buss, 1992) i emocionalne manipulacije (Emotional Manipulation Scale; Austin, Farrelly, Black i Moore, 2007). Istraživanje je provedeno trima manjim studijama (N1 = 315, N2 = 281, N3 = 168), a sudionici su bili odrasle osobe koje su u romantičnoj vezi. Psihometrijska provjera karakteristika prevedenih i modificiranih verzija Skala taktika manipulacije (Buss, 1992) i Skale emocionalne manipulacije (Austin i sur., 2007) upućuje na to da se u oba slučaja radi o instrumentima trodimenzionalne latentne strukture i zadovoljavajuće pouzdanosti tipa unutarnje konzistencije. Prema dobivenim rezultatima emocionalna manipulacija pozitivno je, iako nisko, povezana s korištenjem taktika manipulacije. Drugim riječima, veća sklonost emocionalnoj manipulaciji podrazumjeva i sklonost korištenju taktika manipulacije. S druge strane, emocionalna inteligencija nije značajno povezana ni s emocionalnom manipulacijom ni s taktikama manipulacije.
