Summary
In spring 1912, 25-year-old lawyer Luka Jukić tried to assassinate the Croatian Ban and Royal Commissioner Slavko Cuvaj. This article focuses on several aspects of the trial against Jukić: first, on analysing the impact of Cesare Lombroso's criminology in Croatia; second, on the testimony by forensic psychiatrist Ivo Žirovčić, who controversially claimed that Jukić was sane; third, on unmasking the techniques and manipulations by the media, the regime and the opposition concerning the assassin's alleged insanity; and finally, on identifying the ways in which the case influenced further political and revolutionary activities in the country. The discussion concerning Jukić's accountability deepened the chasm between the supporters and opponents of Cuvaj's regime, both in the political sphere and within the Croatian medical community.
Osnutak Sbora liečnika kr. Hrvatske i Slavonije sa sjedištem u Zagrebu i Družtva slavonskih liečnika sa sjedištem u Osijeku 874. godine rezultat je složenih društveno - političkih procesa, ali i zamaha na razini hrvatske kulturne integracije. Oblikovanje strukovnoga identiteta podrazumijevalo je sazrijevanje liječnika u kontekstu društvene uloge bez obzira na njihovu regionalnu raspoređenost. Osijek u to vrijeme jača, ne samo kao kao civilno i vojno središte već i kao zdravstveni centar Slavonije. Borba za oživotvorenje samostalnoga strukovnoga udruženja pozicionirala gaje stoga kao ravnopravnoga partnera Zagrebu i kao sredinu sa snažnim potencijalom borbe za reformu zdravstva uvjetovanu angažiranom ulogom liječničke profesije. ; Establishing of Sbor liečnika kr. Hrvatske i Slavonije (The Medical Association of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia) with headquarters in Zagreb and Družtvo slavonskih liečnika (Slavonian Medical Association) with headquarters in Osijek in 1874 was a result of complex social and political processes, but also efforts taken for Croatian cultural integration. Forming a professional identity included maturing of medical doctors in the context of their social role, regardless of their regional position. Osijek was becoming stronger at the time, not only as a civil and military centre, but also as a health centre of Slavonia. With efforts for establishing an independent professional association, Osijek became an equal partner to Zagreb and a place with a strong potential for fighting for a health reform, which mostly depended on doctors' efforts.
