Upper Paleozoic deposits in the area of Bregana, Samoborsko Gorje Hills

U diplomskom radu istraživane su naslage na lokalitetu nedaleko od mjesta Bregana, na SI dijelu Samoborskog gorja. Ove su naslage prethodno označene samo kao gornjopaleozojske (karbon i perm) ili, u novijim radovima, kao naslage srednjeg i gornjeg perma. Analizom prikupljenih uzoraka određena su četiri mikrofacijesa (mudstone, mudstone do wackestone, wackestone do packstone, facijes karbonatnih breča) interpretacijom kojih je zaključeno da je do taloženja dolazilo u plitkomorskom, dijelom i zaštićenom, do nadplimnom okolišu u kojem je povremeno dolazilo i do isušivanja. Određena fosilna zajednica odgovara pretpostavljenom plitkomorskom okolišu kakav je specifičan za razdoblje perma na istraživanom području, te unatoč nedostatku provodnih oblika možemo isključiti karbonske i pretpostaviti da se radi o naslagama permske, točnije gornjopermske starosti kakve se mogu naći i na susjednim lokalitetima na području Samoborskog gorja.In this Thesis, research includes deposits in the area of Bregana, in the north-eastern part of the Samoborsko Gorje Hills. In former investigations, studied deposits were marked as Upper Paleozoic (Carboniferous and Permian), or as Middle and Upper Permian. By detailed analysis of collected samples, four microfacies were defined (mudstone, mudston/wackestone, wackestone/packstone and microfacies of carbonate breccia). It is concluded that the deposition took place mostly in shallow marine areas, partialy in isolated, and occassionally supratidal areas with occassional dry periods. Described fossil association is accordant with the assumed shallow environment specific for the Permian period in this area. Inspite lack of the index fossils we can rule out Carboniferous and assume we are dealing with the Permian, even Upper Permian deposits, which can also be found nearby.in the Samoborsko Gorje Hills

Uloga jezika u izgradnji hrvatskoga nacionalnog identiteta u Istri: s primjerima iz odabrane istarske periodike u 19. i 20. stoljeću

In this paper, we address the building of Croatian national identity in several Istrian newspapers of the 19th and 20th century, from the earliest publishing enterprises to 1955. This was a time of complex political circumstances and changes in the Istrian region, when an important role in the process of language planning and in language policy was played, among others, by publications that influenced the formation of the public language: Naša sloga, Hrvatski list, Pučki prijatelj, Istarska riječ, and Hrvatski glas. Texts dedicated to bilingualism and trilingualism, Germanization and Italianization of language in education, administration, post offices, seafaring, railway, Church, and other forms of both public and private communication reflect clearly the language policy of the period of building Croatian national identity. In the atmosphere marked by the general dissolution of cultural institutions (schools, people’s associations, libraries, societies, and journals) in both Croatian and Slovene – which helped the assimilation of the local population considerably – the emergence of publications in Croatian was extremely important for the language. Additionally, they were an important source of information and familiarization of the population with legal regulations concerning the status of the Croatian language, whereby these media became a powerful tool of spreading the rhetoric of the ruling parties that created or tried to influence the linguistic reality and practices.U radu se osvrćemo na tekstove odabranih istarskih glasila koja su tematizirala jezik, a imala su ulogu u oblikovanju hrvatskoga nacionalnog identiteta u Istri u 19. i u prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća, od prvih nakladničkih pothvata do 1955. godine. Vrijeme je to vrlo složenih političkih prilika i mijena na istarskome području, a važnu ulogu u procesima izgradnje hrvatskoga nacionalnog identiteta imaju i glasila koja utječu na oblikovanje javnoga jezika: Naša sloga, Hrvatski list, Pučki prijatelj, Istarska riječ i Hrvatski glas. Iz tekstova o dvojezičnosti i trojezičnosti, germanizaciji i talijanizaciji jezika u školstvu, administraciji, pomorstvu, poštama, željeznici, crkvi te u drugim oblicima javne, ali i privatne komunikacije može se iščitati važnost jezične politike vremena u izgradnji hrvatskoga nacionalnog identiteta. U ozračju posvemašnjega gašenja kulturnih institucija (škola, narodnih domova, knjižnica, društava i novina) na hrvatskome i slovenskome jeziku, što je uvelike pripomoglo odnarođivanju domaćega stanovništva, pojava publikacija na hrvatskome jeziku bila je višestruko važna za hrvatski jezik. Također, važan su izvor informacija i upoznavanja stanovništva sa zakonskim odredbama kojima se pokušava regulirati status hrvatskoga jezika čime ovi mediji postaju snažnim alatom u mijenama jezične prakse

LANGUAGE OF FOUR EDITIONS OF THE PRAYER BOOK OTČE, BUDI VOLJA TVOJA BY BISHOP JURAJ DOBRILA

U radu se analizira jezik četiriju izdanja molitvenika Otče, budi volja tvoja biskupa Jurja Dobrile, začetnika i najznačajnijega predstavnika hrvatskoga narodnog preporoda u Istri. Komparativnom se metodom na slovopisnoj, pravopisnoj, fonološkoj, morfonološkoj, morfološkoj, sintaktičkoj i stilskoj razini utvrđuju promjene koje je autor u njih unosio. Budući da je taj molitvenik imao izniman učinak među hrvatskim stanovništvom u Istri i da je njegov jezik Dobrila neprestano prepravljao, on predstavlja vrijedan dokument o prihvaćanju i razvitku hrvatskoga standardnog jezika na istarskome prostoru.Bishop Juraj Dobrila was initiator and the most prominent representative of the Croatian national movement in Istria. His work on foundation of the new schools, promotion of literature and newspapers in Croatian, as well as his work in the Istrian Parliament and the Imperial Council in Vienna, greatly stimulated enhancement of the Croatian language in Istria in the nineteenth century. The language of his writings (prayer books, epistles, and letters) is characterized by a clear inclination to the language of the Zagreb philological school, with simultaneous incorporation of Chakavian dialect. Reasons for such a combination of a standard language and dialect probably were related with Dobrila’s intention to connect Istria with the motherland, and at the same time he wanted that his writings could be clearly understandable to the people in his surroundings. The primary source for the analysis of language standardization processes is Dobrila’s prayer book Otče, budi volja tvoja [Father, Thy will be done] since Dobrila during his life constantly revised and enhanced the language and expressions in it. On the basis of a comparative graphological, orthographical, phonetical, morphophonological, morphological, syntactical, and stylistic analyses, author determines and reveals changes in above-mentioned four editions of the prayer book (1854, 1866, 1875, and 1881). It is concluded that regarding graphology and orthography these editions vary regarding writing of the syllabic r and distribution of the grapheme tj/ć. By the same token, concerning phonology and morphology one can notice changes of the reflex of jat, intervocalic j, vocalization of l > o, consonants group šć, rhotacism, reduction of vocals at the end of words, prosthetic j, depalatalization of lj and nj, and consonant alternations of ž/z and s/š. In morphological level the most common changes are related to the suffix of genitive in plural and the gender of nouns, which is followed by reduction of the Chakavian elements in verbs, interrogative and demonstrative pronouns, together with conjunctions and prepositions. Similarly, regarding the syntax changes embrace position of attributes and expressions of possessiveness, and numerous examples reveal that later editions were written with a better style, with less Chakavian elements

Najčešće sintaktičke pogreške u publicističkome stilu (na primjeru "Glasa Istre")

U radu se opisuju najčešće sintaktičke pogreške u Glasu Istre, najčitanijim dnevnim novinama u Istri. Analiza obuhvaća dvadesetak brojeva s posebnim naglaskom na položaj enklitike, sročnost s brojevima, veznike budući da, ni i niti, s obzirom na (to da), ukoliko i ako, prijedloge nasuprot, unatoč, usprkos, kroz, po, putem, s(a), zbog i radi, posvojni genitiv, posvojni pridjev i dekompoziciju predikata. Uvažavajući pravila i posebnosti publicističkoga stila, komparativnom se analizom propisâ iz normativnih priručnika i primjerâ iz novina ukazuje na situacije u kojima se ne poštuju normativna pravila na sintaktičkoj razini

Structural properties of full-scope AlN/BN compounds investigated using ab initio calculations

In the last few decades, aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN) have become a point of interest to many researchers and scholars from different disciplines around the world. Due to its attractive properties, AlN has been successfully used in various applications, starting from advanced ceramics materials, additive for grain size control in micro-alloyed steels, through optoelectronics and microelectronics, and finally to semiconductors. On the other hand, BN has broad applications in various fields, such as 2D material, lubricant material, superhard and semiconductor material as well as many others. This study focuses on the mixed AlN/BN compounds, in particular, boron-rich AlN and aluminum-rich BN systems, thus having the entire range of AlN/BN compositions. The special focus was on structural properties investigated using the hybrid B3LYP method. Important structural properties were investigated to offer novel technological and industrial applications of mixed AlN/BN materials.International Conference on Structural Integrity 2023 (ICSI 2023

THE LANGUAGE OF THE “RAŠKI RUDAR“ (RAŠA MINER)

Završetkom Drugoga svjetskog rata i raspadom Nezavisne Države Hrvatske započinje novo razdoblje u standardizaciji hrvatskoga jezika, koje je zbog svoje političke angažiranosti bilo i podosta medijski popraćeno. Zanimanje se za jezične teme tako odrazilo na široke mase. U radu se prikazuju odjeci prijelomnih događaja u jeziku kroz jezičnu i pravopisnu analizu, od avnojskoga razdoblja, Novosadskoga sastanka i novosadskoga pravopisa, Deklaracije o nazivu i položaju hrvatskoga književnog jezika i hrvatskoga proljeća sve do devedesetih godina. Budući da jezik u medijima nije oslobođen ideoloških stajališta, u radu ćemo istražiti kako su tadašnje političke okolnosti utjecale na jezik u istarskoj periodici. Istraživanje je usmjereno na pravopisne i jezične posebnosti u listu Raški rudar: organu sindikalne podružnice Saveza rudara i uprave Istarskih ugljenokopa, koji je s prekidima izlazio od 1947. do 1990. godine, s ciljem da ih se usporedi s tadašnjim normativno prihvatljivim i propisanim rješenjima. Možemo pretpostaviti da će analiza tekstova koje su pisali „obični“ ljudi, radnici u razdoblju socijalizma pomoći upotpunjavanju slike pravopisa i jezika u istarskim glasilima toga vremena.With the end of the World War II and the fall of the Independent State of Croatia started a new period in the standardization of the Croatian language, which received a substantial media coverage due to its political engagement. The interest in linguistic issues thus became more widespread in the general population. This paper illustrates the main guidelines of the language policy during the milestone events from the AVNOJ period, the Novi Sad meeting and Novi Sad Orthography, the Declaration on the name and status of the Croatian Literary language and the Croatian Spring, up to the 1990s. Since the language of the media was not free of ideological attitudes, this research will show how the political situation affected the language of Istrian periodicals. The research is focused on the orthographical and linguistic peculiarities of the magazine “Raški rudar“ (Raša Miner), issued intermittently by the workers’ union branch of the Association of Miners and the management of the “Istarski ugljenokopi“ (Istrian collieries) from 1947 to 1990. The aim is to compare them to the then normatively acceptable and orthographical solutions. The analysis of texts written by “ordinary“ people, workers, will shed additional light on the repercussions of the language policy in the socialist period, which will help complete the image of the orthography and language of the time
