This article analyzes the relations among "communicology," "novitology," & journalism as the practice of public communication. Communicology is defined as a general science on public communication (philosophy of communication), novitology as a specific science dealing with all the singularities of mass communication by means of the mass media (radio, newspapers, TV, & the new media), & journalism as a practice defined by means of the methodology of direct journalistic activities. This leads to the introduction of epistemological order into a number of sciences. Also, misunderstandings & overlappings are avoided, as well as totally erroneous attitudes pernicious for the theory of public communication & journalism as the practice of public polylogue in the media. 9 References.

Diskriminacija je jedna od aktualnih problematika na međunarodnoj razini, posebice kada je riječ o onoj koja se provodi na tržištu rada. Ovaj multidimenzionlani proces utječe na niz negativnih socio-ekonomskih učinaka na razini nekog gospodarstva i društva. Zbog toga podliježe sve restriktivnijem zakonodavnom tretmanu i istraživanjima vodećih dionika. Konačni rezultat je njegovo suzbijanje i kontroliranje. Najzastpuljeniji oblici diskriminacije na tržištu rada su diskriminacija prema spolu i prema dobi. Iako postoje brojni čimbenici koji uzrokuju diskriminaciju na tržištu rada generalno se ističe kako je riječ o nepovoljnim političkim, socijalnim i ekonomskim stanjima na nekom području. Vjeruje se kako ona onemogućuju socijalni naredak i održivi razvoj gospodarstava diljem svijeta. Vodeći značaj u suzbijanju diskriminacije na međunarodnom tržištu rada ima Europska unija. Već duži niz godina ona provodi antidiskriminacijske politike i politiku jednakih mogućnosti za sve članove društva. Time predstavlja uzornu praksu i ostalim državama , pa tako i Hrvatskoj. ; Discrimination is one of the current issues at the international level, especially when is an object of the labor market. This multidimensional process influences a numerous negative socio-economic effects at the level of an economy and its society. Therefore, it is a subject to more restrictive legislative treatment and researches by leading stakeholders. The final result is its suppression and control. The most impeccable forms of discrimination on the labor market are discrimination against sex and age. Although there are the numerous factors that cause discrimination on the labor market, it is generally noted that this is coused by political, social and economic situation in some area. It is believed that discrimination on the labor market prevent the social order and sustainable development of economies around the world. The European Union has a leading role in combating discrimination on the international labor market. For a number of years now, EU has implemented anti-discrimination policies and policies of equal opportunities for all members of society. This is a good exemplary practice for other countries of the world, as is Croatia.

In this text, the state of political theory in Serbia is looked into with regard to the achieved level of self-reflection & professionalisation. Political theory is developing as a special way of research into politics which, in addition to refusing to fit to any discipline-related definitions, has its own professional standards of argumentation, approaches, theories & heroes; however, it has no well-balanced methodological instruction & no professional training. It is a pluralized field of research which tends to reject the delegitimizing & self-positioning practices, the aim of which is to pass judgment, exclude or label, & develops standards of justification & criticism. The second part of the text puts forward the assertion that political theory in Serbia is far from achieving these standards. This is not due to lack of relevant works, but to lack of self-reflection on what has been accomplished so far. There are two reasons for such a state of affairs. First, a rather unfortunate history of the discipline: it developed initially within the ideological surroundings of Marxism, which did not leave much room for theory, & then through political disorder & conflicts of the 1990s, which encouraged delegitimizing practices & self-positioning rather than criticism & self-reflection. The second reason has to do with inadequate institutionalization of political science & social sciences in general, which apparently leaves enough room for political theory, but not for professional self-identification.

Ovom radu je cilj definirati važnost uloge transparentnosti u kvaliteti institucija i istražiti utjecaje veličine jedinice lokalne samouprave na transparentnost proračuna lokalnih jedinica na otocima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Prvo što se definiralo su same institucije te njihova uloga u subnacionalnom kontekstu. Zatim se fokusiralo na transparentnost i njena obilježja, kao jednu od ključnih odrednica kvalitete institucija. Zatim je prikazan institucionalni okvir lokalne samouprave u Republici Hrvatskoj te socio-ekonomska obilježja jedinica lokalne samouprave koja su značajna za određivanje stupnja razvijenosti regija i jedinica lokalne samouprave u određenom razdoblju. Empirijski modeli koji su formirani istražuju utjecaj veličine jedinica lokalne samouprave na transparentnost lokalnog proračuna, utjecaj veličine jedinica lokalne samouprave na upravljačke kapacitete te utjecaj veličine jedinica lokalne samouprave na angažiranost civilnog društva i to sve na specifičnoj lokaciji hrvatskih otoka. ; The aim of this paper is to define the importance of the role of transparency in the quality of institutions and to investigate the effects of local government unit size on the transparency of local budgets on islands in the Republic of Croatia. The first thing that was defined were the institutions themselves and their role in the subnational context. The paper then focused on transparency and its features, as one of the key determinants of the quality of institutions. After that, the institutional framework of local self-government in the Republic of Croatia is presented, as well as the socio-economic characteristics of local self-government units that are important for determining the level of development of regions and local self-government units in a certain period. Empirical models formed in this paper investigate the impact of the size of local governments on the transparency of the local budget, the impact of the size of local governments on management capacity and the impact of the size of local governments on ...

Ciljevi ovog istraživanja su bili utvrditi postoji li među studentima sklonost prema impulzivnoj kupovini te spoznati postoje li razlike u sklonosti s obzirom na različite demografske karakteristike uzorka. Cilj je također bio i proučiti prisutnost različitih stavova prema novcu i utvrditi postoji li razlika u sklonosti prema impulzivnoj kupovini s obzirom na stavove prema novcu. Rezultati dobiveni anketnim istraživanjem su pokazali kako veći dio uzorka ima sklonost prema impulzivnom kupovnom ponašanju, pri čemu je kognitivni aspekt sklonosti prema impulzivnoj kupovini izraženiji. Što se tiče stavova prema novcu, istraživanje je pokazalo kako kod većine ispitanika iz uzorka nisu prisutni proučavani stavovi, pri čemu je najmanja prisutnost zabilježena kod stava prema novcu kao sredstvu moći, a najveća kod stava prema novcu kao sredstvu za rješavanje anksioznosti. Od determinanti impulzivne kupovine, na dobivenim uzorku se nisu pokazale značajnima ni spol ni dohodak, a što se tiče stavova, značajnim se pokazao samo stav prema novcu kao sredstvu za rješavanje anksioznosti, gdje se pokazalo kako će osobe koje su anksioznije kada je novac u pitanju, imati i veću sklonost prema impulzivnom kupovnom ponašanju. Dodatak analizi je pokazao kako su osobe muškog spola sklonije biti anksiozne kada je novac u pitanju u odnosu na osobe ženskog spola, dok se prebivalište nije pokazalo značajnim za prisutnost ovog stava. ; This study's objectives were to determine whether there is a tendency among students towards impulse shopping and to know if there are differences in preferences according to the different demographic characteristics of the sample. The aim was also to study the presence of different attitudes towards money and determine whether there is a difference in preference for impulse buying regarding attitudes towards money. The results obtained by the survey showed that most of the sample had a tendency towards impulsive purchasing behavior, with the cognitive aspect of the tendency towards impulse buying more ...

e-Glasovanje u radu je definirano prema Oostveen i Besselaar (2004:61) koji definiraju internet glasovanje (ili elektroničko glasovanje, online glasovanje) kao "način glasovanja koji koristi enkripciju kako bi omogućio glasaču sigurno i tajno glasovanje putem interneta". Ovaj oblik glasovanja prije svega je praktičan zbog toga što omogućuje glasovanje bez odlaska na tradicionalno biralište, a obzirom da se odvija putem interneta, neki autori predviđaju mogućnost veće izlaznosti i političke participacije mladih kao dobne skupine koja se svakodnevno koristi računalnom tehnologijom i internetom (Mellon et al., 2016) i pokazuje relativno nisku razinu izlaznosti na političke izbore (Allan et al., 2012; Dictson i Ray, 2000 prema Besselaar i Oostveen, 2004). Cilj rada je na uzorku od 133 ispitanika u dobi od 18-25 godina kvantitativno tj. putem online ankete i koristeći teorijsku podlogu Modela prihvaćanja novih tehnologija, Teorije difuzije inovacija, Ujedinjene teorije prihvaćanja i korištenja tehnologija te nekih modela povjerenja i sigurnosti ispitati faktore koji utječu na namjeru korištenja sustava e-glasovanja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su faktori koji utječu na namjeru korištenja sustava e-glasovanja povjerenje u vladu i internet, točnost, povjerljivost, vjerojatnost napada na sustav, percipirana korisnost i očekivana učinkovitost. Nalazi o mogućnosti veće participacije mladih u slučaju uvođenja e-glasovanja nisu statistički značajni. ; e-Voting (or electronic voting, online voting) is defined by Oostveen and Besselaar (2004: 61) as a "voting manner that uses encryption to enable the voter to securely and secretly vote via the internet." This form of voting is first and foremost practical because it allows voting without going to the traditional polling station, and considering that it is obtained via the internet, some authors anticipate the possibility of greater turnout and political participation of young people as an age group which uses computer technology and the internet on a daily basis ...

Using a miscellany of multidisciplinary theoretical approaches (primarily sociological definitions of social & urban problems & the political science theory of the urban regime) as his starting point, the author analyzes the attitude of Split's leading politicians to the more recent problems of that city. His analysis is based on the findings of research conducted in Feb-Mar 2002, conducting structured interviews with a sample of 20 prominent local politicians. The results show that the leading Split officials consider the social conditions prevailing in that city to be unfavorable & encumbered with a plethora of hardships, the most prominent among them being rampant unemployment, decay of the city's industry, traffic isolation, socially disadvantaged citizens, & urban devastation. The interviewed politicians mostly think that those & other problems are to a large extent caused by the state of the Croatian society or, better to say, by the key factors of the social context (conversion of ownership, economic & general social crisis, patriotic war, etc) of the independent Croatia. An analysis of the interviews reveals the pronounced political tensions & divisions in Split & shows how they obstruct finding the solutions for the city's problems. The opinions & attitudes of the leading politicians in Split reveal, on the one hand, a considerable propensity toward an elitist, even authoritarian, approach to the resolution of these problems, & on the other, an insufficient willingness for solving the city's problems by means of cooperating with other social actors. 2 Tables, 22 References.
