English idioms of Scottish origin and their equivalents in Croatian
English idioms of Scottish origin and their equivalents in Croatian
Lidija Funtek
Phraseology is a field of study that investigates a set of linguistic units called phraseological units. These units are expressions which consist of at least two independent words. Such expressions can be idioms, proverbs or any phrase which may carry connotations and have an empathic or intensifying function in a text (Fiedler 2007: 23). Every language has its own idioms and proverbs which enrich it and give the language more colourful and personal note. Standard English language on its...

English multi-word verbs with the particle OUT, and their Croatian counterparts
Ivana Šplihal
This paper focuses on the multi-word verbs with the particle out not only by covering important theoretical aspects of those verbs, but also by analysing them, testing them and comparing them with their Croatian counterparts. The term ‘multi-word verb’ indicates a combination of a verb with either one or more particles – prepositions and adverbs and can be further narrowed down by saying it breaks down into phrasal, prepositional and phrasal prepositional verbs. A synecdoche...
English neologisms in social media: a linguistic analysis

The discussion and analysis of English neologisms from the social media platforms TikTok and Twitter are the main goals of this thesis. On social media platforms, abbreviations, clipping, compounding, blending, coinage, and semantic shift are the most frequently used word formation processes. The major motivation for using...

Enkulturacija i oblikovanje identiteta djeteta rođenog u inozemstvu
Enkulturacija i oblikovanje identiteta djeteta rođenog u inozemstvu
Antea Babić
Enkulturacija je proces putem kojeg pojedinac usvaja kulturne vrijednosti, običaje, jezik i norme svoje društvene zajednice. Za taj proces nužno je posjedovanje interkulturalnih kompetencija, odnosno vještina, stavova i znanja koje su potrebne za uspješno komuniciranje s pripadnicima različitih kultura. Djeca koja su rođena u inozemstvu često teže pronalaze svoj etnički identitet zbog mnogih čimbenika koji utječu na njega, poput obitelji, škole, osobnih karakteristika i jezika....

Enumerativne klasifikacije: razvoj, upotreba i primjeri
Enumerativne klasifikacije: razvoj, upotreba i primjeri
Eleonora Đekić
Klasifikacijom dijelimo, razvrstavamo predmete, pojave, pojmove i slično prema unaprijed definiranim kriterijima. To je aktivnost i pojam koji se susreće u svim sferama života, pa tako i informacijskim znanostima. U knjižničarskoj struci ona ima veliki značaj, jer omogućuje lakše snalaženje djelatnicima i korisnicima među velikim brojem publikacija koje sadrži jedna knjižnica. Klasifikacija ima dugu tradiciju koja se razvijala kroz povijest. Još u drevnim zemljama Bliskog istoka...

Epidemije kuge u Srijemu u 18. stoljeću
Epidemije kuge u Srijemu u 18. stoljeću
Veljko Maksić
Mobilnost čovjeka i težnja za upoznavanjem svijeta dovele su ga do suočavanja s novim bolestima jer zajedno s čovjekom i robom one su redovite suputnice. S epidemijom kuge upoznali su se Europljani još u antici, a otada do XVIII. stoljeća susreli su se s njom još nekoliko puta. Ni Srijem, koji se nalazi na raskrižju putova istoka i zapada, nije mogao biti pošteđen te bolesti. Problematika rada usmjerena je na pojavu kuge na srijemskom prostoru, ali ograničena isključivo na...
Epigenetska osnova velikog depresivnog poremećaja
Epigenetska osnova velikog depresivnog poremećaja
Kornelija Mikulaj
Veliki depresivni poremećaj (eng. Major Depressive Disorder; MDD) jedan je od najčešćih psihosomatskih poremećaja koji pokazuje izraženu tendenciju porasta, zbog čega se predviđa da bi do 2020. godine mogao postati drugi najveći zdravstveni svjetski problem. Klinička fenotipizacija depresivnog poremećaja vrlo je heterogena, što ukazuje na njegovu etiološku složenost. Mogući razlozi za ovakav ishod jesu ti što u etiologiji depresivnog poremećaja najvjerojatnije sudjeluje...
Epigenetski mehanizmi u spoznaji i ponašanju
Epigenetski mehanizmi u spoznaji i ponašanju
Tena Pondeljak
Godine 1942., britanski biolog C.H. Waddington uveo je termin epigenetika te ga opisao kao cijeli kompleks procesa koji se nalazi između genotipa i fenotipa. U suvremenom je dobu epigenetika definirana kao nasljedna i reverzibilna promjena funkcija gena neovisna o slijedu nukleotida u molekuli DNA. Najznačajniji epigenetski mehanizmi su metilacija molekule DNA, modifikacija histona te RNA interferencija. Genetski i društveni čimbenici utječu na psihosocijalni razvoj osobe u smislu...
