Purpose: The paper aims to identify appropriate structura l elements for writing annotations intended for young adults. We also wanted to identify if there are any differences between the annotations from the guides for reading quality youth books and the annotations from the portal Dobreknjige.si. Approach/methodology/design: For the purposes of this research the content method was used. Sixty annotations for young adults from the guides for reading quality youth books and sixty annotations from the portal Dobreknjige.si were included in the research. The coding scheme consisted of fourteen structural elements. They were divided into sentences and then the corresponding structural element or elements were assigned to each sentence. Findings: The annotations included in the research on average contained six structural elements. Most commonly, the annotations included the following structural elements: description of the literary work, characters, theme, circumstances of the origin of the literary work and other features related to the work, evaluation, and author. The differences between annotations from the guides and those from the web portal manifested mainly in the length of the annotations. Research limitations/implications: The research was limited only to annotations prepared by librarians. Practical implications: The findings of the research will be useful for librarians who publish annotations on the portal Dobreknjige.si, as well as for writing guides for reading quality youth books. Social implications: The annotations are also important because, among other things, they represent one of the ways in which we can present the world of literature to young adults or other interested public. Originality/value: The paper offers valuable insights into weather annotations should be adapted to certain types of readers, and is it possible to have a standardized form of annotations.

Purpose. The aim of this paper is to present the productivity of the scientific and teaching staff of the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb in the period from 2006 to 2020 by applying the descriptive bibliometric method in the Web of Science citation database. Approach/methodology/design. The search was conducted in the database Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and it was limited to the institution and the original scientifi c papers and reviews published by its members in the last 15 years. Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer were used for data analysis. Findings. The total number of analysed papers is 591 with an average number of citations per paper of 6.45. There is a significant increase in the number of published papers, especially in the period from 2016 to 2020. The largest number of papers is signed by three authors, while all papers have an average of four keywords. The total number of citations is 7,706, and the largest number of citations was received in 2020 (1,287 citations). Most papers were published in collaboration with scientists from Serbia and Slovenia, 92 (14.07%) and 79 (13.55%). The comparison of institutional cooperation has shown that most articles were published in cooperation with the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Split and the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sports, 76 (12.86%) and 56 (9.61%). The largest number of papers was published in Kinesiology: International Journal of Fundamental and Applied Kinesiology, 63 (11.71%). The analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords has shown that research in kinesiology in the last 15 years was focused on exercise, performance, and children. Research limitations/implications. Only papers indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection database were analysed, therefore the potential significant research contributions indexed in other databases might have been overlooked. An additional limitation is the author's decision to use the default parameters of the VOSviewer, if other parameters had been set the results of the bibliometric mapping could have been different and consequently the interpretation of the results, too. Originality/value. This paper contributes to a better understanding of research patterns in the fi eld of kinesiology, through an analysis of the scientific productivity of the leading institution in the region in this field. The visual presentation of thematic areas of research, point to important questions for further research and theory development, as well as educational and business practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim. The research goal was to determine to what extent and in what way book clubs were affected by the COVID-19 disease pandemic. Methodology. The paper presents results of an online questionnaire survey conducted from November 10 to December 7, 2020. The research was conducted simultaneously in public libraries in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia. It was aimed at book clubs that were active during 2019 and 2020, as a period that included the time immediately before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results. In Croatia, out of 62 active book clubs before the pandemic, 33 (53 %) continued to operate during the pandemic. In Slovenia, out of the initial 47 clubs, 19 (40 %) continued with their activities. These clubs quickly adapted to the new circumstances and continued to work in the virtual space or by combining online communication and remote meetings with live meetings whenever possible. Regarding the application of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools, the identical processes have taken place in both countries: book clubs were more focused on maintaining contact with the existing members than on promoting clubs and attracting new members. However, the pandemic caused the complete termination of activities for some book clubs: in Croatia 47 %, in Slovenia 38 % of the surveyed clubs. Social significance. The paper contributes to the overall picture of the adaptation of the cultural sector to pandemic conditions and complying with the new requirements in order to communicate with its public. The paper identifies the impact of the pandemic on accelerating the process of applying new technologies for Internet communication. Originality/value. The paper offers a comparative analysis of the impact of the pandemic on the continuity of book clubs' activities in Croatia and Slovenia and how they have adapted to new circumstances. It is based on the hitherto unpublished research results on book club activities during the pandemic, with special emphasis on the use of ICT tools as possible aids to overcome the restrictions prescribed for live meetings as part of anti-epidemic measures.

The paper presents innovative judgements of the Slovenian Constitutional Court when deciding on the compliance of acts and other regulations with the Constitution. The incorporated overview indicates broadening of the classical limits of the Court's jurisdiction, extending them to the area of legislative and judicial power as well as to the jurisdiction of other competent bodies. The paper also describes the situation preceding the broadening of the limits of the Court's jurisdiction. This situation involves the assessment of the unconstitutionality of particular acts or procedures and the lack of reaction of the Slovenian Parliament, courts and other competent bodies to Court's decisions.

The aim of this paper is to research the justification for existence of the term „ship's operator“ as a central person in current Maritime Code. Scientific methods have been used in this study. Rich historical development of the term „ship's operator“ was confirmed in Croatia using historical method while using comparative method it was found that ship's operator (as a central person in maritime enterprise) is still used in Italy'(armatore) and Slovenia (ladjar). In the case when shipowner takes ship's operator place for liabilities incurred in connection with ship's navigation and utilization, ship's operator institute won't shut down because it will remain inter alia ship's possessor and exponent of maritime venture according to Croatian maritime law. Finally, term ship's operator represents our maritime tradition which was figured out and then affirmed by prominent Croatian lawyers with academician Brajkovic in charge and it can not be declared as a relict of the past. Scientific contribution of the paper has been reflected in this assertion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intention of the paper was to determine how certain selected factors influence preventive attitude of managers towards health and safety in the workplace. The paper is based on a survey which included 351 CEOs in larger Slovenian companies. The evaluation of data was made using the SPSS program. We found the strongest correlation between variables of preventive attitude towards health and safety between education and investments, and education and safety at work. Analysis showed that the correlation between leadership and preventive safety of this sample is positive and influences the health and safety results (the correlation is relatively high, ß coefficient 0,473). Study findings are current and may be useful to those involved in changing the legislation related to health and safety in the workplace. We recommend that preventive safety and incentives be built into the legislation, as it is evident that the CEOs are inclined to honour legal obligations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses an intense and revolutionary development strategy of information and digital technology from translational and communicational points of view, as well as its impact and application in the field of the profession of translation. Rapid advances in the field of information and computer technologies made a significant impact on the field of translation, and information technology has changed the way information is produced and disseminated. The Internet and international web sites have created new methods and perspectives for translation. Translation professionals don't use just the traditional and classical translation support tools - printed dictionaries, glossaries, encyclopedias and other printed tools. CAT (Computer- Assisted Translation), Machine Translation and online translation tools and resources like electronic dictionaries, terminology databases, translation memories, online bilingual text databases and other computerized tools are resources used on a daily basis in the modem translation practice. In this paper, the author is trying to underline the importance and influence of a new global and technological paradigm on the professional translator, concluding that the translator has to acquire new skills in order to remain efficient on the competitive multilingual market. In the second part of the research the article analyzes the quality and consistency of translation using electronic translation tools such as Evrokorpus and Evroterm - free tools accessible through www.evrokorpus.gov. si and www.evroterm.gov.si that are a result of the translation of EU legal acts by the Translation Sector of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia. The article checks the hypothesis whether modem electronic translation tools contribute to quality and consistency of translation and gaining new, competitive knowledge and skills of translators.

The paper deals with the development of political theory in Slovenia since 1990. It surveys the development of the discipline and traces its roots back to the beginning of political theory studies in 1961. Authors, ideas, books and approaches are discussed. The paper challenges the assumption that studies of political theory share a similar destiny in Central and Eastern Europe by showing that there have been no breaks or rifts in political theory in Slovenia, but that one can rather speak of evolution, where the next period is based on the previous. The paper critically evaluates the public role of political theorists, their (non)positions on political theories, their responsibility and potentials for development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper starts from the thesis that the institutional and economic efficiency of a state i.e. society depend on its historical heritage (path dependence), strategic interactions and the international surrounding. Estonia and Slovenia are considered to be not only economically, but also institutionally assertive and relatively successful post-communist states i.e. new member states of the European Union. However, they have developed two completely different — in some important aspects even diametrically opposite — regulatory rules and different political and social arrangements. The paper particularly emphasises the ideological and strategic significance of the élites and their infl uence on the course of reforms and transitions, and on the form of capitalism at the end of the transition. It can be claimed that the political élite in Estonia encouraged the formation of the state that is close to the liberal-minimalist model, while Slovenia is close to the corporatist model of welfare. With regard to including the former into the liberal-market economies (LME) and the latter into the coordinated market economies (CME), certain specific features and local modifi cations should be pointed out. In both cases, some dysfunctional consequences ensued, and they represent a new challenge to the élites, at the same time serving as the test of their credibility and competence.

The paper presents a Late Roman strap end with a rider from Tonovcov grad above Kobarid in western Slovenia and comparable belt sets with rectangular buckle plates and strap ends from the southeastern Alps and Pannonia. The author discusses the decorative motif of the rider or Bellerophon and Chimera which appears on belts sets and links it to the representation of victory over the enemy and the equipment of high military representatives on the Pannonian limes and its hinterground in the critical time of the late 4th and early 5th century.

One of the key indicators of the status and development of occupational safety and health in a determined social environment is the number of registered occupational injuries. The purpose of this paper is to review, in retrospect, different ways of data collection and data interpretation, and provide information regarding the number of occupational injuries in the Republic of Slovenia. Information concerning the number of occupational injuries in the Republic of Slovenia has been systematically collected and published since the middle of the 20th century by different national and foreign organizations. Using the scientific method of compilation we selected various data and information concerning the number of occupational injuries and the total number of fatal occupational injuries. We used information published in the Republic of Slovenia by Slovenian, European and international institutions covering the period between 1960 and 2007. We established that both the methodology of data collection and the methodology of injury registration had changed during the said period, resulting in a rather diversified number of occupational injuries over the years. An overall chronological review of the number of occupational injuries was made, offering all concerned parties the opportunity to compare these figures to the figures of occupational injuries in other countries and to plan political, economic and other activities that would improve occupational health and safety.

A paper is occupied with Istrian Demarcation - a document from 14th century which was defining boundaries, ridges and confines (kunfini) between Istrian mediaeval municipalities (communes), belonging to the Dukedom of Pazin, Patriarchy of Aquileia, and Venetian Republic - as an important and unavoidable source for study of mediaeval economic history of Istria. As a proof for such opinion attention is devoted to those parts of the document which speak on cattle breeding, viticulture, agriculture, forestry, and fishery, with conclusion that: - Cattle breeding was important industry in Istria. Besides meat, milk and milk products (cheese, curd…) cattle was giving wool and leather for production of clothes and footwear. One could say that survival of people of particular territory was depending on the quantity of cattle, what is confirmed with positively solved request of Stari Pazar to widen pasture area for its village Gradin (vas Gradin). - Production of crops was also important economic field in Istria. Production of crops dictated quantity of feudal taxes on which speaks Istrian Demarcation. - Viticulture was also treated as an important production branch. Forestry lands were cleared to raise new vineyards and to improve production of wine. - In municipalities situated at the coastal area fishery was additional source of food supply. - Possession of forestry lands was very apreciated, and important in evaluation of economic strentgh of municipalities (communes). Forests weren't only source of fuel, but also of materials for building houses and production of vessels, and even for roofing. - Exchanges of agricultural surpluses were taking place in fairs organized beside church buildings during festivities of their patron saints.

The regional collection Histrica of the University Library Pula contains library material of multicultural and multilingual significance for the Istrian region. In 2005 the Library started to digitise historical regional newspapers belonging to this collection with a purpose to preserve them. With the pilot project entitled "Istrian newspapers online", which began in 2007, the Library made available some of these newspapers, one weekly and three daily newspapers, about 30000 pages in total. The newspapers were published between 1870 and 1938. These sources include newspapers in three languages: Croatian, German, and Italian. The first part of the paper presents the regional collection Histrica of the University Library Pula, particularly its newspapers collection. Furthermore, it reconsiders the reasons and goals of the digitisation of the historical newspapers. It also presents the pilot project Istrian newspapers online (INO) as well as the results and future plans of the project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last twenty five years assisted procreation has become a topic of great interest for lawmakers around the world. Ethical dillemmas associated with new procreation methods demand precise laws which leave little uncertainty. Many countries prohibit every other assisted procreation method except in vitro and artificial insemination, but there are also countries that allow even surrogate motherhood. The author begins with defining the medical techniques which constitute assisted procreation today, and continues with explaining the legal framework of assisted procreation in Sweden, Slovenia, Spain, Norway, Austria, and Croatia, with emphasis on distinctive features of each country. The last pages of the paper deal with the right of the child to information about its biological parent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The media communication of risks is firmly rooted in the "transfer" paradigm of communication. Also, the preliminary research has confirmed the conclusions of the relevant studies that there is a need for adopting an ethics protocol on the communication of risks so that the public is able to reach a consensus on the nonacceptable or acceptable risks through a democratic process of negotiation. The article includes the results of an analysis of the articles on hazardous waste from Croatian papers in the first half of 2004, since all Croatian counties should decide on their waste dump location by the end of the year. Besides, the contract with Slovenia regarding the nuclear plant Krško obliges Croatia to keep its part of the bargain regarding the disposal of medium- and low-radioactive waste. The choice of the waste dump locations has turned into a political issue par exellence and the responsibility is occasionally shifted to the public. A research has shown that the media (for many citizens the sole source of information about the risks hazardous waste dumps entail) do not provide the information that would enable the public to make an informed decision on this issue.
