The paper discusses the relation between the popular culture and croatian drama of the nineties analysing the signs of popular culture in the play John Smith, Princess of Wales by Tomislav Zajec.

Svrha ovoga rada jest analizirati željeznički teretni prijevoz unutar
prometnog i gospodarskog sustava država Europske unije te ukazati
na stagnaciju željezničkoga teretnog prijevoza mjerenu ...relativnim
tržišnim udjelom i na zanemarivanje uloge željezničkog prometa kao
čimbenika integracije europskoga prometnog i gospodarskog sustava.
Da bi se dokazala postavljena hipoteza o stagnaciji željezničkog
prometa i neiskorištavanju njegovih brojnih konkurentskih prednosti
u odnosu na druge prometne grane, primijenjene su metode analize i
sinteze te metoda deskriptivne statistike. Glavni nalaz ovoga rada jest
taj da su daljnja integracija i liberalizacija željezničkog tržišta teretnog
prijevoza država EU-28, međusobna suradnja željezničkih poduzeća i
suradnja željeznice s drugim vrstama prometa temeljni preduvjeti za
konkurentsko profiliranje željezničkog prometa i njegovo što učinkovitije
integriranje u transportne i logističke lance.
This article analyses theater and theater space as a place of remembrance in the play The Croatian Faustus by Slobodan Šnajder. The play is not only one of the most controversial ones in the ...framework of Croatian drama from the last decades of the 20th century, but is also one of the most demanding texts for Croatian modern stage production. By focusing critically on the historical period of the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) this drama, at the time, testified to the power of literature and theater to initiate public debate. This also reveals the power of stage performance because the play is interpreted in a wider context (both Croatian and European) of modern historical plays, especially regarding the fact that history is both performed and interpreted as a stage performance. It should serve as an example of warning about the power of theater as a space which remembers, which through repeated performances of historical events speaks about its own social context as an illusion, indicating ever present problems which stem from the past.

There is limited data on the effect of sacubitril-valsartan on the echocardiographic parameters in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). We prospectively enrolled 68 consecutive patients with ...ADHF who received sacubitril-valsartan (
N
= 34, S/V group) or angiotensin inhibition-based therapy (
N
= 34, ACEi/ARB group). Two-dimensional echocardiography with speckle tracking (2D-STE) was performed at baseline and after 3 months of treatment. Changes in 2D-STE parameters, including global longitudinal strain (GLS), were compared between the groups by
t
test and ANCOVA. Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. Following 3 months of treatment, LVEF and GLS significantly improved in the S/V group (mean LVEF from 27 to 34.5% and GLS from − 6.6 to − 9.4%) but not in ACEi/ARB group. The improvement in LVEF and GLS was more prominent in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. In patients with ADHF 3-month treatment with sacubitril-valsartan, compared to guideline directed medical therapy without sacubitril, improves LVEF and GLS.
