Suvremeni turizam razvojem transporta i raznih oblika komunikacijske i druge tehnologije pridonosi upoznavanju i zbližavanju različitih kultura, što povećava međusobnu toleranciju i pridonosi ...svjetskom miru, dok su istodobno značajan preduvjet za razvoj turizma mir i sigurnost u destinaciji. Razvoj turizma u interesu je brojnih zemalja radi njegova pozitivnog i multiplicirajućeg utjecaja na gospodarstvo, ali događaju se i velike promjene sa sigurnosnog aspekta u
zemljama diljem svijeta, pa sigurnost postaje jedan od najvažnijih kriterija pri odabiru destinacije. Sukladno tome mijenjaju se i obrasci ponašanja turista, pa osobna sigurnost turista, koja proizlazi iz sigurnosne situacije u zemlji, postaje sve značajniji element uspješnog pozicioniranja turističke destinacije. Cilj je rada prikazati stavove mladih inozemnih turista o sigurnosti u destinaciji te njihove percepcije sigurnosnog stanja u Hrvatskoj i zemljama užeg konkurentskog okruženja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je percepcija sigurnosti značajan element prilikom odabira turističke destinacije, a Hrvatsku se percipira kao iznadprosječno sigurnu zemlju, što su značajni podaci koje
bi trebalo više koristiti u promociji Hrvatske kao turističke destinacije.
Contemporary tourism contributes to the recognition and convergence of different cultures through the development of transport and various forms of communication and other technologies. Tourism increases mutual tolerance and contributes to world peace, while significant preconditions for tourism development are destination peace and safety at the same time. Tourism development is in the interest of many countries due to its positive and multiplier impact on the economy, but there are also major changes in the safety aspect of countries around the world, thus safety becomes one of the most important elements in choosing destinations. Consequently, tourist behaviour patterns change, and the personal safety of tourists, resulting from the safety situation in the country, becomes an increasingly important element for successful positioning of tourist destinations. The aim of this paper is to present the attitudes of young foreign tourists about the safety of the destination and their perception of the safety situation in Croatia in regards to competitive countries. The research results show that safety perception is a significant element when choosing a destination to travel, and Croatia is perceived as above-average safe country, which are important data that should be used more in promoting Croatia as a tourist destination.
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the conception of yogic perception (yogipratyakṣa) in Indian Buddhist philosophy. By relying on the primary Buddhist Sanskrit sources and contemporary ...critical studies, the historically relevant questions are raised: how yogic perception has been treated in Indian Buddhist tradition, and especially in the texts by the eminent representatives of its Yogācāra-Vijñānavada logico-epistemological school (Diṅnāga, Dharmakīrti, Ratnakīrti)? Why was it recognised as a valid source of knowledge, and what role was it granted to in the general Buddhist epistemological scheme (pramāṇavada)? Combined – textological semantic, hermeneutical and comparative – methodologies are applied in the course of analysis. The following conclusion has been made: while representing a coherent empiricist and phenomenalist approach, Buddhism has supplemented the classical Indian system of valid means of knowledge with two more means, namely, with that of yogic perception and authoritative testimony (āpta). However, by acknowledging the validity of yogic perception the Buddhists agreed, that it does not ensure per se the cognition of the truth and should be verified by the other valid means of knowledge. Most important from the Buddhist perspective is that such extraordinary perception should correspond to Buddha’s experience and its conceptual description.

Subjektivna dobrobit obuhvaća doživljaj trenutne i buduće životne situacije. Trenutna razina subjektivne dobrobiti može biti prediktor zdravlja, produktivnosti, prihoda, kvalitete socijalnih odnosa, ...čak i mortaliteta. Nezaposlenost je prepoznata kao jedna od životnih okolnosti koje na duži period najviše smanjuju subjektivnu dobrobit. Cilj provedenog kvalitativnog istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u subjektivnu dobrobit nezaposlenih korisnika zajamčene minimalne naknade mlađe odrasle dobi. Tematskom analizom intervjua dobiveni su podaci o doživljaju životne situacije i percepciji budućnosti sudionika te su prikazani kroz ovaj rad. U zaključnim razmatranjima izneseni su prijedlozi za unapređenje prakse, s naglaskom na pristupu socijalnog rada i javnozdravstvenu pristupu.
Subjective well-being includes the perception of the current and future life situation. The current level of subjective well-being can be a predictor of health, productivity, income, quality of social relations, and even mortality. Unemployment is recognised as one of the life circumstances that reduce subjective well-being the most in the long run. The conducted qualitative research aimed to gain insight into the subjective well-being of unemployed young adults who are beneficiaries of the guaranteed minimum benefit. The thematic analysis of the interviews provided data on the experience of the life situation and the perception of the participants’ future, and they are presented in this paper. In the concluding remarks, proposals for improving the practice were presented, with an emphasis on the social work approach and the public health approach.
Exploring the relationship between rhythm and speech is necessary for understanding and creating speech therapies for people with neurogenic communication, language and speech disorders, especially ...people with nonfluent aphasia. The aim of the present study, involving 10 subjects with aphasia and 10 average speakers, was to examine whether there are difficulties in musical rhythm perception and production in people with aphasia, to find out whether there are differences between musical rhythm perception and production within the same group of subjects and to determine whether there is a correlation between achievement on tasks of auditory comprehension and rhythm perception and production. The Protocol for Assessment of Rhythm Perception and Production in People with Aphasia, which consists of musical rhythm perception and production tasks, was created for the purpose of this study. A statistically significant difference was found between the achievement of people with aphasia and the control group on the applied tasks of rhythm perception and production. A correlation was not found between rhythm perception and production and achievement on tasks of auditory comprehension, among either people with aphasia or the control group. Analysis of the subjects’ answers revealed the features of the rhythmic patterns that make it easy or difficult to perceive and reproduce a rhythm.

Ljudsko je lice spolno dimorfna karakteristika, a morfologija lica povezana je s različitim biološkim markerima. Prilikom percepcije lica druge osobe pojedinci stvaraju dojmove o spolu, dobi, ...etničkoj pripadnosti, ali i emocionalnim stanjima i osobinama ličnosti te osobe. Ovaj je proces automatski, iznimno brz i uključen je u sve situacije socijalne interakcije. Brojna istraživanja upućuju na to da ljudi imaju pristranosti prema određenim fenotipima lica prilikom donošenja odluke o tome tko bi trebao biti vođa njihove grupe, bilo da je riječ o ekonomskim ili političkim grupama. U ovom će preglednom radu biti prikazani nalazi koji iz perspektive evolucijske psihologije pokušavaju razjasniti nastanak i funkciju spomenutih pristranosti. Kao glavni teorijski okviri bit će predstavljeni: evolucijska teorija vodstva, biosocijalni model kategorizacije vođa te hipoteza evolucijske kontingencije. Nadalje, bit će opisana istraživanja koja pokazuju da ljudi preferiraju vođe s licima koja izgledaju kompetentno, ovisno o kontekstu muževno ili ženstveno, te privlačno. Na koncu, bit će prikazani određeni nedostaci istraživanja u ovom području, zajedno sa smjernicama za buduća istraživanja.
Human face is a sexually dimorphic trait, and its morphology is related to various biological markers. During face perception, people make several inferences about others, such as sex, age, ethnicity, emotional state or personality traits. This process is automatic and rapid, and is included in all forms of social interactions. Some studies indicate that people have certain biases towards specific facial phenotypes during decision-making about who is the best candidate to be a group leader in an economic or political context. In this review paper, origins and functions of aforementioned biases will be discussed from an evolutionary psychological perspective. Evolutionary leadership theory, biosocial leadership categorization model and evolutionary-contingency hypothesis will be presented as the main theoretical frameworks in the field. Moreover, findings regarding bias towards perceived facial competence, masculinity-femininity and attractiveness will be described. Lastly, some limitations in the field will be addressed, together with the recommendations for future studies.
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the nature of yogic or supernormal perception (yogipratyakṣa, yogijñāna) in the context of Indian epistemology. By relying on the primary Sanskrit sources ...of Indian philosophical schools (darśana) and contemporary critical studies the questions are raised: what role is granted to it in the general Indian epistemological scheme (pramāṇavada)? How yogic perception is described and philosophically legitimated? How it is scholastically verified and validated and what kind of controversy was going on among different philosophical schools? On what arguments such perception is refused by orthodox Mīmāṃsā school? A combined – textological semantic, hermeneutical and comparative – methodology is applied. Conclusion is made that yogic perception is recognized and integrated into general scheme of knowledge by almost all Indian schools, though they give different accounts of it. Aradical scepticism and refutation of this kind of perception is displayed by the representative of vedic hermeneutics and ritualistic exegesis – Kumārila Bhaṭṭa (7AD) of Mīmāṃsā school. However, what the followers of this school denied was not the potentiality of the yogic perception itself, but consistency of logical argumentation, the ability of transparent transmission of such knowledge to others, and the validity of such experience in the legitimisation of divine revelation (śruti).
V članku avtorici obravnavata estetsko posebnost zdajšnjega Sarajeva in pokažeta, kako čas ustvarja družbeni odziv na vizualno kakovost prostora. Ob upoštevanju preobrazbe mestne krajine z vidika ...preoblikovanja identitete povojnega Sarajeva proučujeta senzorični stik ljudi z mestnim okoljem v povezavi s travmatičnimi dogodki in spreminjajočo se realnostjo, ki jo vsiljuje globalizacija. Njuna hipoteza je, da okoljsko estetiko povojnih mest določa travmatični spomin na fizično in socialno uničenje. Raziskava daje vpogled v različne teoretične razprave o spremembah vizualnega jezika in estetske kakovosti mestnega prostora v povojnem Sarajevu ter predstavi pojem urbanega spomina in njegovo vlogo pri oblikovanju estetske izkušnje v povojnih mestih. Končne ugotovitve kažejo, da lahko arhitekturni ostanki ali razvaline v mestnem tkivu namesto nestabilnih enot postanejo gonilo kontinuitete. Avtorici na koncu sprejmeta nedokončanost v prostoru kot pozitivno vrednoto in odstira nov pogled na igrivo eksperimentiranje, ki lahko izboljša estetsko izkušnjo toge in monotone mestne podobe.
U ovom članku želi se u skraćenom obliku prezentirati relativno jednostavna metodologija integralnog ocjenjivanja učinkovitosti te mogućnost njezine primjene u malim i srednjim proizvodnim drvno ...industrijskim poduzećima. Metoda je uz određene prilagodbe elemenata ocjenjivanja primjenjiva u svima industrijskim granama, kao i u uslužnim djelatnostima. Integralna ocjena učinkovitosti je u funkciji postizanja izvrsnosti u poslovanju. Sama metoda ocjenjivanja učinkovitosti obuhvaća usporednu analizu u odnosu na željeno stanje i dijelom dubinsku analizu rezultata poslovanja. Integralna ocjena učinkovitosti obuhvaća sistematično usporedno preispitivanje ostvarenih rezultata po elementima, funkcijama i organizaciji u cjelini. U suženom formatu metoda se na osnovi percepcije rezultata poslovanja u odnosu na željeno stanje može uz prethodnu kratku edukaciju rukovodstva primjenjivati za samoocjenjivanje poslovanja drvno industrijskog poduzeća. Objektivnije ocjenjivanje učinkovitosti kroz detaljnu primjenu metodologije može se ostvariti kroz angažiranje interdisciplinarnog tima konzultanata. Pri tome rukovodstvo i svi djelatnici poduzeća tijekom rada konzultanata u poduzeću trebali bi biti otvoreni za suradnju. Suradnja s konzultantima uz zaštitu tajnosti podataka poduzeća, obuhvaća analizu dokumentacije, snimanje i pregled tehničkih i ekonomskih podataka, intervjuiranje djelatnika na svim razinama, intervjue dionika iz okruženja te proračunavanje svih koeficijenata, udjela i stopa koji se mogu uspoređivati sa željenim stanjem. Osim toga, u vrlo skraćenom obliku navest će se podaci integralne ocijene indeksa učinkovitosti po elementima, funkcijama i organizaciji u cjelini za jedno zamišljeno poduzeće koje proizvodi namještaj od masivnog drva po nacrtima kupca.
This paper aims to present in a short form a relatively simple methodology of integral performance evaluation and the possibility of its application in small and medium-sized timber industrial enterprises. With some adjustments to the assessment elements, the method is applicable in all industries and services. Integral performance evaluation is in the function of achieving business excellence. The performance appraisal method itself involves benchmarking against the desired state and partly an in-depth analysis of operating results. Integral performance appraisal involves the systematic comparative review of the results achieved by the elements, functions and organization as a whole. In a narrow format, the method, based on the perception of business results in relation to the desired situation, can be applied to self-assessment of the timber industry business with the prior brief management training. A more objective assessment of effectiveness through detailed implementation of the
methodology can be achieved through the engagement of an interdisciplinary team of consultants. The management and all employees of the company should be open for cooperation during the consultants’ work in the company. Collaboration with consultants to protect the confidentiality of company data, includes analysis of documentation, recording and reviewing technical and economic data, interviewing employees at all levels, interviews of stakeholders from the environment and calculating all coefficients, shares and rates that can be compared to the desired situation. In addition, in a very abbreviated form, information will be provided on the integral estimates of the performance index by element, function and organization as a whole for an imaginary firm that manufactures solid wood furniture that produces furniture according to customer’s designs.
For the sake of brevity, this could not show all the automatically obtained graphs by function, which could clearly show the inefficiency of each element in the management, development of innovative and promotion of new products, in the organization of business and production, digital transformation, growth and development. and finance. In this way, it would be easy to detect in which elements changes in the business should be introduced, most likely with the need to use external expertise.
The integral performance evaluation for the nine imaginary manufacturing company features shown in Table 2 and Chart 1. was calculated after the automatic entry of ratings and indices and the previous nine tables that could not be displayed for the limited length of this paper. The average scores so entered in Table 2 are multiplied by the intensity of the impact and an average score of 2.83 is obtained, which gives an imaginary enterprise efficiency index of 56.52%. See table 2 INTEGRAL PERFORMANCE INDEKS and Graph 1. Display of performance index by manufacturing company functions
The minimum efficacy with respect to the desired incidence rate should range from 20.00 % to 70.00 %, and the partially satisfactory efficacy ratio with respect to the desired incidence rate should range from 71.00% to 90.00% , satisfactory to the desired state of efficacy with respect to the desired one according to the intensity intensity should range from 91.00% to 100.00%
The efficiency of an imaginary manufacturing company in the wood processing industry in 2017 relative to the desired state by function is minimal and ranges from 46.00% to 67.00% with an integral index of 65.52%. Consequently, a thoughtful manufacturing company is the least effective in the areas of management, innovation development and new product promotion, business organization and production, digital transformation, and growth and development, resulting in poor financial efficiency.
From all of the above, it can be concluded that with the application of the methodology of integral efficiency index in the small and medium enterprises of wood processing industry, within three to five days, the areas with the scope of necessary changes and improvements in business can be successfully detected, all with the aim of constant approaching excellence and increasing competitiveness.
Cilj je istraživanja otkriti kako studenti u Republici Hrvatskoj percipiraju muzeje s obzirom na nepostojanje prethodnih istraživanja. Konkretnije, nastojalo se (1) otkriti kako studenti opisuju ...muzeje i posjetitelje muzeja, (2) otkriti ulogu muzeja u društvu te (3) prikupiti prijedloge studenata radi poboljšanja iskustva posjeta muzeju. Korištena je kombinirana metodologija kvantitativnog i kvalitativnog istraživanja. Kako bi se dobio uvid u percepcije muzeja, kao instrument istraživanja korišten je anketni upitnik s otvorenim i zatvorenim pitanjima. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 110 ispitanika (studenata). Otkriveno je kako studenti u Republici Hrvatskoj imaju pozitivnu percepciju muzeja i posjetitelja muzeja. Uloga muzeja u društvu vezana je uz edukaciju te kulturno uzdizanje, dok je posebnost muzeja u usporedbi s drugim institucijama u tome što nude specifična znanja i vještine te izlažu autentične predmete. Kod prijedloga za poboljšanje iskustva posjete muzeju, interaktivnost i prilagodba usluga muzeja mladima, najčešće su isticana područja poboljšanja ponude muzeja. Ograničenja istraživanja vezana su uz vrstu i veličinu uzorka, namjerni prigodni uzorak od 110 studenata jednog zagrebačkog fakulteta. Ovo je prvi rad koji, koristeći kombiniranu metodologiju istraživanja, daje uvid u to kako studenti u Republici Hrvatskoj doživljavaju muzeje.
The aim of this paper is to explore students’ perceptions of museums in the Republic of Croatia. Because of a lack of research of this topic, we tried specifically to: (1) find out how students describe museums and museum visitors, (2) discover the role of museums in society and (3) collect students’ suggestions on how museums can improve the museum visitor experience. A mixed-method research methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative data was used. A questionnaire with open-ended and closed questions was administered as a research instrument to obtain insight into the perceptions of museums. The research was conducted on a sample of 110 respondents (students). We found that students have a positive perception of museums and museum visitors. The role of museums in society is related to education and cultural uplift, while the uniqueness museums compared to other institutions arises from the fact that they offer specific knowledge and skills and display authentic objects. Students’ suggestions for improvements in museum experience are related to the interactivity and customisation of museum services. Research limitations are related to the sample size and structure, an intentional sample of 110 respondents (students) of a single faculty in Zagreb. This is the first paper to provide an insight into students’ museum perceptions in the Republic of Croatia using a mixed-method research methodology.
