Riječ pjesnika otvara se beskonačnim prostorima i bezdanim izvorima ljudskog bića. Ona ne daje odgovor, ne utažuje žeđ, ne ublažuje bol. Ta riječ je izraz i potvrda čovjeka, njegove žeđi i boli, trag prolaženja , smisao njegova postojanja i opstanka, spašena prolaznost, živa vatra u mraku nepoznatoga, nepatvoren i pouzdan znak života. Zatvorena u oblik vlastitog postojanja, pjesnička riječ živi, umire i rađa se iznova u ljudskom vremenu, u uzajamnosti pjesme i čitaoca. Vrijeme pjesme znak je sigurnosti svijeta i onda kad pokazuje nemogućnost mogućnosti življenja.

The Krugovi Generation about Matoš

Krugowcy o Matošu

Author(s): Natalia Wyszogrodzka-Liberadzka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 07/2014

Keywords: Antun Gustav Matoš; Krugovi literary journal; Krugovi generation; Croatian writers; Croatian literature; Croatian Modernism; literature in 1950’s

Antun Gustav Matoš, central figure of Croatian Modernism became an icon and a legend yet in life, which, after the artistʼs death, only strengthened and his infl uence on the further shape of Croatian literature is difficult to deny. On the other hand, he is not the very often mentioned author the literary journal „Krugovi”, and also he is not considered in the first row of the most influential literary patterns for this generation of writers. However, Antun Gustav Matoš’s image that emerges from the pages of „Krugovi”, although incomplete and fragmentary, is extremely interesting. Young writers attempted to comprehensively educate their literary model reader, so they drew attention to artists who were the most valuable for the native literary tradition. Understanding and acknowledging the importance of his achievements and well-deserved place in the history of Croatian literature, young artists were able, however, to an analytical and critical approach, in the majority of cases presenting a solid argument, not limited to duplication of hackneyed slogans.

Problems and manifestos in recent Croatian literature

Problemi i manifesti u novijoj hrvatskoj književnosti

Author(s): Miroslav Šicel / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/1972

Iako nije nimalo lagano napraviti jasnu distinkciju između pojma programa i manifesta, jer manifesti više ili manje uključuju u sebi i program, ipak unutar specifičnih tokova novije hrvatske književnosti dosta se određeno mogu razlučiti programski tekstovi od tzv. manifestacionih. Radi se prije svega, dakako, o shvaćanju smisla programa odnosno manifesta. Terminom program, mislim, treba u prvom redu obuhvatiti sve one tekstove u kojima do punog izražaja dolazi određena konkretna, svjesna akcija, to jest razrada ili makar samo naznaka zadataka književnosti u okviru jednog čvrsto determiniranog društveno-povijesnog vremena, odnosno književnog razdoblja. Programi se u osnovi javljaju u takvim opstojnostima u kojima je jedna nacionalna književnost usko, organski srasla s društvenim problemima sredine u kojoj nastaje: tada se obično ne postavlja kao primaruo pitanje određenja ili shvaćanja umjetnosti u njenoj biti kao specifične i samosvojne duhovne ljudske djelatnosti - već se umjetnost promatra samo i isključivo u njenom, da se slikovito izrazim, nerazdruživom braku (u ovom slučaju sa stajališta hrvatske književnosti 19. stoljeća) s nacijom ili građanskim moralom.

SOME PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS TO PHYSICAL EXERTION DURING PREMENSTRUAL AND FOLLICULAR PHASE OF THE CYCLE

NEKE PSIHOFIZIOLOŠKE REAKCIJE NA TJELESNO OPTEREĆENJE U PREDMENSTRUALNOJ I FOLIKULARNOJ FAZI CIKLUSA

Author(s): Ivona Čarapina / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 3/2013

Keywords: menstrual cycle; subjective assessment; activation

Some previous studies have shown variations of some physiological variables and efficiency as well as subjective assessment of task difficulty during different phases of menstrual cycle. The aim of this study was to examine psychophysiological reactions on corporal exertion during premenstrual and follicular phase of menstrual cycle. A group of 16 female subjects average age 22 years (M=21,67 sd=1,55) with regular menstrual cycles and not using oral contraceptives participated in this study during their premenstrual and follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. Each situation included activation self-assessment on Thayer’s AD-ACL scale followed with performance of eight tasks (five to twelve newtons of difficulty/exertion) on cycle ergometer. Heart rate and task difficulty assessment on Borg’s scale were measured immediately after performance. Data analysis confirmed effects of menstrual cycle and task difficulty on heart rate and subjective assessment. Namely, with higher difficulty level heart rate and subjective values increased. Heart rate, task difficulty assessment and high activation assessment values were higher in premenstrual phase which is characterized with lower level of estrogen. Results of this research are similar with results of some previous research.

Author(s): Ljubo Šimić,Josip Šimić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 93-94/2017

Keywords: biomedicine; higher education; perssonel; doctor; hospital; health care;

CAN FOOD BE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF CROATIAN TOURISM?

CAN FOOD BE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF CROATIAN TOURISM?

Author(s): Mirna Leko Šimić,Ana Pap / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: Food tourism; Croatia; marketing; competitiveness;

Tourism in is one of the most efficient and competitive industries in Croatia. According to the Croatian National Bank (2015), with an income of 7.4 billion Euros in 2014, it contributes 17.2% to the national GDP. From the marketing point of view, it is one of the most crucial images of Croatia internationally. However, for decades tourism in Croatia was marked as “3S” (sun, sand and sea). This means that its competitiveness was based primarily on natural resources. Apart from price differentiation, such positioning has removed the characteristics that differentiate it from other Mediterranean destinations and has resulted in the existing problems of high seasonality, low ROI, low value added, etc. The major goal of this paper is to analyse the opportunity of increasing the tourism value added by developing food tourism as a special tourist product of Croatia. The research is in line with the goals of the national tourism development strategy which emphasizes the need to create value added to the national economy by valorisation and protection of available resources, market repositioning and new identity creation as well as enabling additional market opportunities for local products. Food tourism perfectly matches these goals. A pilot research of supply (hotels and restaurants, local tourist associations, souvenir shops) and demand (foreign tourists) was conducted and potential for such development was identified. The gaps in attitudes and opinions between supply and demand of food tourism is analysed and discussed and appropriate marketing activities are suggested.

Quality of educational services in the field of Project management

Istraživanje kvalitete obrazovne usluge s područja projektnoga menadžmenta

Author(s): Zlatko Barilović,Mirna Leko Šimić,Helena Štimac / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 2/2013

Keywords: project management; marketing orientation; marketing in education; quality of educational services; Specialist Graduate Professional Study Programme in Project Management;

The growth and development of any business system depends on effectively and successfully implemented projects. Considering that the number of projects worldwide has been constantly increasing, developing project skills in individuals which will be involved in a project is of crucial importance. In the Republic of Croatia, the number of institutions offering education programmes in project management has been steadily growing. Each of these institutions will have to build its competitiveness on the marketing concept. Lately, the quality of educational services has been recognized as an increasingly important element of marketing. One of the education programmes in the field of project management in Croatia is the Specialist Graduate Professional Study Programme in Project Management offered at the Baltazar Adam Krčelić College of Business and Management in Zaprešić. In this paper the authors examine the competitiveness of the above education programme through a survey on the quality of educational service conducted in 2012 with a sample of 202 students with the aim of further defining the guidelines for improvement of its market competitiveness.

Jedan od prvih NLO incidenata u Republici Hrvatskoj koji je uključivao otmicu dogodio se 19. ožujka 2000. godine. U Yugi 45 vozili su se zaboravljenim puteljkom u blizini sela Plavno kod Knina Nikola i Žaklina Šimić. Uočili su nešto za što su neupitno vjerovali kako se radi o NLO-u. Kada su došli sebi, našli su se skoro pedeset kilometara dalje s druge strane planine Plješevice, u blizini samoga graničnoga prijelaza Strmica.

E-business tools adoption and export performance: Empirical evidence from Croatian companies

E-business tools adoption and export performance: Empirical evidence from Croatian companies

Author(s): Mirna Leko Šimić,Antun Biloš,Josipa Mijoč / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2019

Keywords: e-business tools adoption; export performance; statistical analysis; Croatian exporters

Technology development has enabled companies of all kinds, industries, and sizes to actively participate in international business. Information and communications technology (ICT), and especially e-business tools, are important for the international activities of companies. ICT empowers the company’s potential to contribute significantly to economic growth, as it plays a vital role in simplifying business processes and contributes to the improvement of the competitive market presence of a company. The objective of this research is to identify the level of e-business tools adoption in Croatian exporting companies and investigate its influence on their export performance. In the analysis of the level of e-business tools adoption, a partial OECD e-commerce maturity model was used, which measures several aspects of ICT readiness and intensity of web sites and e-commerce in exporting companies. Several distinct aspects of e-business tools adoption were examined, namely e-mail usage, internet usage in market research, promotion, e-commerce, and e-payment possibilities. The export performance level was measured through three elements: the export/total business activities ratio, the export/total revenue ratio and, additionally, the existence of multilingual official websites. Our findings provide enough evidence that e-business tools adoption has a positive correlation to export performance for Croatian exporters. However, it should be noted that three e-business tools adoption factors positively correlate with export performance: namely (1) e-mail use for correspondence with partners/suppliers/buyers, (2) use of the internet as a promotional tool for foreign markets and (3) e-payment use. Two remaining e-business tools adoption factors that were measured – (1) use of the internet as an information source on foreign markets/buyers/suppliers and (2) online ordering/sales, did not record a significant correlation with export performance. These findings imply that there is still room for better implementation of e-business tools in Croatian exporting companies, particularly regarding market research and online ordering and sales that can contribute to better export performance. With regard to international market geographical orientation, we found significant differences in exporting companies oriented toward geographically and culturally distant markets (non-regional and non-EU markets) that have a statistically higher level of e-business tools implementation in comparison to those exporting dominantly to regional and EU markets. This illustrates the significance of e-business tools adoption for reaching and managing those distant markets that are important for a number of Croatian exporters.

Generation Z buying behavior change in the COVID-19 pandemic context

Generation Z buying behavior change in the COVID-19 pandemic context

Author(s): Mirna Leko Šimić,Ana Pap / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: Generation Z; COVID-19; buying behavior; quality of life; Croatia;

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyze the changes in Croatian Generation Z buying behavior due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, all governments have imposed different measures that directly and indirectly impact consumer behavior. Recent studies have mostly recorded a dynamic increase in online shopping, stockpiling, and change in priorities from luxury to basic goods. This study will specifically look into the relation between Generation Z buying behavior change and their exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as its impact on their perception of the quality of life. Methodology: A sample of 442 Generation Z respondents from Croatia was analyzed using ANOVA to identify buying behavior changes concerning the level of their exposure to COVID-19. The analysis also included a potential correlation between buyer behavior change and their perception of the quality of life. Results: The statistical analysis has confirmed the increase of online shopping and stockpiling in the group of respondents who were exposed to self-isolation and those who have not been exposed to COVID-19, but there was no correlation with their perception of the quality of life change as a result of forced buying behavior change. Conclusion: Generation Z is identified as an e-generation, born and brought up in a digital environment. Although the pandemic has forced them to switch even more to online shopping, they do not perceive the exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic to impact their quality of life.

DETERMINANTS OF CROWDFUNDING SUCCESS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

DETERMINANTS OF CROWDFUNDING SUCCESS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Author(s): Marija Šimić Šarić / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: crowdfunding; crowdfunding campaign; determinants of success; Central and Eastern Europe;

As an alternative way of financing, crowdfunding has been growing rapidly since the last financial crisis in 2008. The number of launched projects has increased, but the number of successful projects remains low. Little is known about what leads to success in this field, especially in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries where the determinants of crowdfunding campaign success for projects are not identified. Therefore, the article focuses on identifying determinants of crowdfunding campaign success for projects from CEE countries. Based on the dataset from Kickstarter, consisting of 473 projects from CEE countries, I examine factors influencing the probability of project success. The analyzed sample of projects shows that the number of backers and mean contribution are positively correlated with the probability of campaign success, while a higher project goal lowers the probability of success. Project duration is not a statistically significant success factor.
