Učinak u različito kompleksnim kognitivnim zadacima u stresnim uvjetima

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi kako stres utječe na obavljanje kognitivnih zadataka različitezahtjevnosti. U istraživanju su korištena tri kognitivna zadatka: zadatak pamćenja na raziniprepoznavanja, zadatak pamćenja na razini dosjećanja i problemski zadatak. Pretpostavljenoje da učinak stresa neće biti jednak na svim razinama zahtjevnosti zadatka, već da će doći dointerakcijskog djelovanja ovih dvaju faktora i to na način da će stres imati negativno djelovanjekod najzahtjevnijeg i ujedno kompleksnijeg zadataka (problemski zadatak), a pozitivno kodnajmanje zahtjevnog zadatka (pamćenje na razini prepoznavanja).U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 59 ispitanika, studenata Sveučilišta u Zadru čija je prosječnadob iznosila 20,75 godina. Sudionici su podijeljeni u tri grupe, pri čemu je svaka grupa obavljalajednu vrstu zadatka i to u dva navrata, jedan put u uvjetima sa, a drugi put u uvjetima bez stresa.Stres je izazivan prikazivanjem 20-minutnog isječka ratnog filma. Za svaki zadatak su postojaledvije paralelne forme (za svaku eksperimentalnu situaciju po jedna), a svaki sudionik je dolaziodva puta na ispitivanje, s razmakom od oko tjedan dana.Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da kada je riječ o kognitivno najmanje zahtjevnom zadatku,pamćenju na razini prepoznavanja, izloženost stresu je dovela do poboljšanja učinka, nemaefekta stresa kada je riječ o srednje zahtjevnom zadatku (dosjećanje), dok kod problemskihzadataka, koji su s obzirom na kognitivne zahtjeve najkompleksniji i najzahtjevniji stres imanegativan utjecaj na učinak. Dakle, može se reći da na pitanje kakav je utjecaj stresa na učinaku kognitivnim zadacima nema jednoznačnog odgovora, već njegov utjecaj ovisi o zahtjevnostisamog zadatka.

Uvodnik

The new scientific journal, Miscellanea Hadriatica et Mediterranea, published by the Department of History at the University of Zadar, is focused on multidisciplinary scientific analysis of the historical processes occurring in the Adriatic and Mediterranean and spanning from prehistory to the modern age. Accordingly, even though the first number has predominantly historical papers, this journal is opened to all scientific art-historian, archaeological, linguistic and architectural essays as well as politological and juridical reviews and scientific analyses of numerous other cognate topics dealing with Adriatic and Mediterranean. At the same time, scholarly papers are not limited to the expanse of those important seas but similarly should extend their interest to the coastal and deep hinterland areas with ties to the Adriatic and Mediterranean. Hence, this new journal, in collaboration with similar publications by other departments at the University of Zadar, is a worthy successor of the previous scientific journal Radovi Filozofskog fakulteta u Zadru. Razdio povijesnih znanosti, which was, under that name, published for the last time in its fortieth issue (no. 27), published in Zadar in 2001 [2003]. The scientific historical research and the results achieved through the creation of scholarly papers have been attested in this journal to be multidisciplinary, even when the author of the paper was by its vocation “only” a historian. Global tendencies, especially in modern times, have proven that a branch of science cannot remain in the “traditional” thematic-methodological boundaries; to clarify, modern history and its research are inconceivable without the multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, recognition of other scientific research in relatively cognate sciences and scientific disciplines is in touch with modern tendencies within the historical science, which can only prosper in knowledge, content and methodology through that interaction. The Adriatic-Mediterranean connection is not coincidental; on the contrary, it is intended to draw attention on the fact that the history of the Adriatic is difficult to comprehend unless it is seen in the context of the Mediterranean. The Adriatic has been for millennia, either through culture, trade or knowledge and science, one of the shortest routes between Europe and Africa or Asia, both with their developed cultures, and with trading centres dealing in, for the Europeans, extremely sought out merchandise. New ideas and new knowledge circulated on that route, along with the numerous military forces and empires, which held it under their control for shorter or longer periods of time. Quite often the process was reversed: Greek colonisation of the Mediterranean and Adriatic in one direction was followed by later expansion of Venice and Normans in the other direction. Unfortunately, despite the continued research by scientists from different countries, a lot still remains undiscovered. In example, how much do we truly know about the grandiose Arab achievements during the Middle Ages or perhaps about the actual Norman influence in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic? This journal is therefore dedicated to this and many other clusters of various historical problems, which can be identified, at least to some degree, in the current populations inhabiting the coastal and deep hinterland areas of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. In order to reach international readers, the journal is from the start published in two languages, Croatian and one international language, and accordingly welcomes associates from all sides of the world.

Uvodnik

We present to you the second volume of the scholarly journal Miscellanea Hadriatica et Mediterranea published by the Department of History at the University of Zadar. It took a little longer than planned for it to be published, but as in many other projects, every beginning is difficult and some unforeseen obstacles had to be surmounted. In accordance to the Journal’s concept, which is open to contributions covering various historical topics connected with wide Adriatic and Mediterranean spheres, this volume includes papers dealing not only with classical historical subject-matters but also with the more interdisciplinary ones, such as two papers closely linked with art history and one largely concentrated on presenting restauration and conservation of a carriage. Reviews of three recent scholarly books add to the diversity of contributions in this volume. Some of the papers, similarly to the ones in the previous number, have been dedicated to prematurely deceased colleague from our Department, Franjo Smiljanić, PhD.

Uz posvetu prvoga broja znanstvenog časopisa Miscellanea Hadriatica et Mediterranea Franji Smiljaniću, znanstveniku i sveučilišnom profesoru

With the death of Professor Franjo Smiljanić, Department of History at the University of Zadar lost one of the most esteemed professors, scientists and above all creative members of teaching staff. It will be difficult to find the person with equally unbreakable spirit who will fill the void left by his departure. His unique life, built around the enormous pain he endured and the infectious laugh, immense erudition and incredible resolve to endure in his scientific endeavours, will surely be a strong guiding light to the younger colleagues in how to live and work at Croatian universities. Therefore the faculty staff of the Department of History at the University of Zadar unanimously decided to dedicate the first number of the new scientific journal to the memory of this “bard” of historical science, true Mediterranean and even greater lover of the Adriatic.

Značenje visokoškolskoga geografskog obrazovanja i metodička pripremljenost studenata za nastavnički rad

This article treats the importance of education of the future geography teachers at the Department of Geography, University of Zadar. The main part deals with the students of the same division (all years) and refers to the choice of studies; attitudes of students towards their future job (teacher's job particulary) and how much they are content with the readyness for school. The second part of the survey (done with the final year students) deals with their attitudes about teacher's job after they have gone through the pedagogical group of subjects and student trainee period. The third one refers to the research carried out among the mentors who estimated the importance of some courses for the teacher's job and evaluated the students' work at school.

Impresum

This 1st volume of the yours and ours journal 13th annual, is an approval of how even in financially hard and demanding year on the World market, there are enough interest and possibilities of geographers, collaborates and sponsors in editing new and encouraging themes in geographic science in Croatia. Successful and actual engagement of the Department of Geography, University of Zadar, and Croatian Geographic Society - Zadar, has been approved again by this volume, showing the common and synergetic engagement and financial help given by Ministry of Science, Education and Sport of the Republic of Croatia, University of Zadar, Zadar County and City of Zadar, which enabled that the challenging idea of continuous editing of Geoadria could be realized.

Report from Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA), June 13–17, 2016, Zadar, Croatia

ABSTRACTLibraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) 2016 takes place every 2 years, and was held this year at the University of Zadar, in Zadar, Croatia, from June 13–17, 2016. Each LIDA, two themes are chosen in advance. This year, the themes were “Digital Curation and Preservation: Current Trends and Research” and “Use Studies, Education, and Training for Digital Library Collections.” A presentation of each theme by university professors and subsequent keynotes relevant to each theme by two world-renowned experts provided context and ensured a shared perspective among LIDA attendees. Conference-goers were presented a balanced approach to theoretical and practical questions in a number of areas of digital libraries, including the presentation of research on information seeking practices among special communities, data mining projects, the exploration of platforms and experiences, and digitization. Additionally, a number of the contributed papers, panels, demonstrations, and workshops spanned the two themes, making for not only an informative conference, but also a particularly rich and coherent experience for attendees. Opportunities for junior researchers were numerous, with the conference priding itself on the mentorship opportunities available. In 2018, you might find yourself tempted to see what LIDA is all about; if you do, you will no doubt find yourself in a breath-taking venue along the Croatian coast surrounded by engaged, supportive, and collaborative researchers and professionals from around the world – in my opinion, you won't regret it.

Suvremeni modeli Sveučilišta i regionalni razvoj - primjer Sveučilišta u Zadru

Suvremeno sveučilište promijenilo je svoju ulogu od isključivo mjesta poučavanja i istraživanja prema umreženome akteru regionalnog razvoja. Suvremeni modeli sveučilišta naglašavaju njegovu ulogu kao mjesta stvaranja znanja koje je primjenjivo u regionalnom razvoju. U ovome su radu prikazani rezultati istraživanja lokalnih i regionalnih razvojnih dionika u Zadru i Zadarskoj županiji i njihovi stavovi prema Sveučilištu u Zadru. Provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje utemeljeno na deset polustrukturiranih intervjua. Pokazuje se da regionalni dionici naglašavaju ekonomsku razvojnu komponentu i ideju endogenog razvoja temeljenog na razvijanju postojećih jakih grana zadarskog gospodarstva, a sveučilište se promatra primarno kao potencijal i resurs, a manje kao aktivan dionik. Društveni je razvoj pritom slabije naglašen, ali se percipira kao lokus potencijalne uspješne suradnje sa Sveučilištem u Zadru.

Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Croatia

There is a vibrant Open Access environment in Croatia and several academic and research institutions initiate different activities concerning open access to the scientific information (Ru đer Boš kovi ć Institute, School of Medicine, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, Faculty of Organization and Informatics at University of Zagreb, University of Zadar, University of Osijek, National and University Library, etc.). It is very important to improve collaboration among different stakeholders, as well as to provide top-down guidance harmonized with EU practices. Important blocks of the existing Open Access research infr astructure are presented in the paper: the Croatian Scientific Bibliography CROSBI, the Croatian portal for Open Access journals HRČAK, and the co mmon infrastructure for digital academic repositories DABAR. Future develo pment of Open Access infrastructure in Croatia is discussed.

Foreword by the guest editor

This issue of Libellarium includes papers from the invited speakers who gave lectures at the Summer School in User Studies (SSUS) organized by the Department of Information Sciences and held at the University of Zadar, 11. - 14. April, 2012. The SSUS is associated with the Knowledge Society and Information Transfer PhD programme at the Department of Information Sciences at the University of Zadar. This programme is designed for Croatian and international doctoral students in the field of theories and studies of information needs and use, as well as the field of reading and learning concepts and strategies in digital environment. The main goal of the Summer School 2012 was to introduce the participants to the most recent research, the latest developments and the newly emerged concepts in the fields of users’ information behaviour, learning and education in the digital age, information literacy theories and concepts, as well as the reading paradigms. In the recent times the information society changes rapidly which influences processing and the approaches to information while it changes the existing paradigms of learning and education. New literacies emerge and reading, as the key competency necessary to access the information, changes its forms and practices. The SUSS organized the above mentioned issues in three segments: Users’ information behaviour, Literacy and reading in the digital environment, and Learning and education in the digital age. In the Users’ information behaviour segment this issue of Libellarium contains articles from two invited speakers and two doctoral students who discuss the subject from different viewpoints. Paul Sturges starts with the assumption that people are much more dependent than they realise on information and ideas that are acquired and processed by areas of the brain, not always immediately accessible to the conscious mind. Polona Vilar discusses information behaviour of scholars and scholarly practice influenced by increased accessibility of digital resources and tools. Doctoral students Dora Rubinic and Darko Lacovic base their literature reviews on the specific context of university students’ information behaviour. The former review deals with information behavior of university students in general, while the latter one deals with university students’ information behaviour in relation to the role of academic libraries. Four invited speakers discuss literacy and reading in the digital environment. Livija Knaflic presents literacy as a complex phenomenon and focuses her work toward psychological aspects of literacy. Sonja Spiranec investigates information literacy in the context of Web 2.0 which transformed information environments into complex and unstructured places so the contexts of information literacy are being re-examined and reshaped respectively. Ivanka Kuic writes about the postmodern theoretical approaches to the reader and the validity of these approaches in the digital environment while emphasizing that existing concepts of the reader and reading adapt to electronic environment, because the electronic text deconstructs the printed one and it changes the way of reading. Vita Mozuraite discusses these rapid changes in the reading paradigm in the age of e-book to which the young readers are especially susceptible considering their frequent use of the internet. The changes in information environment influence learning. This fact demands careful consideration from education experts in order to achieve the maximal degree of the rich media environment contribution to the quality of education. Hence, Milan Matijevic writes about the influence the e-environment has on the new curriculum paradigms. These papers are the starting point for the new directions of thought about the changes in the digital environment that reflect on information behaviour, learning and the related practices. The papers were received in 2012/2013 and were peer reviewed in 2013/2014. * Department of Information Sciences, University of Zadar, Croatia e-mail: istricev@unizd.hr

Umbrella branding in tourism – model regions of Istria and Dalmatia

The purpose – The purpose of this paper is to support the thesis that a region represents a key functional and geographical entity which requires branding and development of marketing activities. Its geographical components are tourism clusters that should develop their own identity in cooperation with other clusters, within the region as their umbrella brand. Design – The special focus is given to reviewing the issue of defining boundaries of regions as tourism brands, i.e. discussing what exactly makes the essence, or the essential framework, of a region as a market brand in tourism. The paper also presents the model of geographical and marketing clusterisation of Istria and Dalmatia – the Croatia's regions that are essential for the development of tourism in this country. Methodology – The methodology of the research includes the examples of good practice, analysis of the existing strategic documents of the region Istria and Dalmatia, workshop – creating an original model of region clusterisation in the case of Dalmatia by graduate students of management in the Department of Economics at the University of Zadar and author’s management experience in public management in tourism. Approach – There are particular interests within fragmented basic units of local government – towns and municipalities – aiming to "preserve" the identity of each separate geographical unit, even the smallest one, whereas the marketing trends in the dynamic international tourism market require exactly the opposite. Regions must be the unique spatial and socio-cultural entities featuring an adequate tourism identity which is built as an independent and inherent market brand. That fact is perceived in the light of the forthcoming accession of Croatia into the European Union (1st July 2013) and the exceptionally important process of redefining Croatia's regional administrative-political boundaries, where an appropriate regionalisation is considered as one of the prerequisites for the "correct" and optimal social and economic development in the future. Findings – The problem of defining regional boundaries must be seen as one of the essential issues in defining the region's geographical area as the basis for the development of economy. An appropriate definition of the tourism region as an umbrella brand and its sub-brands – tourism "products", i.e. clusters – presents the starting point for further definition of all management and marketing activities, both at the level of clusters, through individual activities, and at the level of the umbrella brand, through joint, i.e. networked management activities. The originality of this research – The originality of the model consists on the fact that it refers to a relatively wide region (within European context) featuring a rich of natural attractiveness and cultural-historical heritage, whose borders were often altered in the past, and which was, and still is, intersected with a number of administrative-political boundaries.

Glazbeno obrazovanje studenata, budućih odgojitelja na Sveučilištu u Zadru

Rad donosi pregled glazbenog obrazovanja predškolskog studija na Sveučilištu u Zadru. Izdvojeni su glazbeni kolegiji nakon niza promjena koje je predškolski studij doživio. Posebno je ta promjena vidljiva uvođenjem bolonjskog procesa (2005 godine) koji je zahvatio cjelokupno visokoškolsko obrazovanje u Hrvatskoj,a to se odrazilo i na glazbeno obrazovanje na predškolskim studijima. Rad osvjetljuje glazbene kompetencije prema europskim standardima svrstane u široke kategorije: područno-specifične (akademske) i generičke (opće) koje se temelje na Tuning projekt kompetenciji. Cilj rada je ukazati na potrebu kompetentnog odgojitelja, sposobnog za reprodukciju glazbe. Takav odgojitelj će pružiti djeci kvalitetan doživljaj glazbe čime

Motivacija za učiteljski poziv, zadovoljstvo studijem i zadovoljstvo izborom zanimanja

Istraživanja pokazuju da je kvaliteta učitelja najvažniji pojedinačni čimbenik obrazovnog uspjeha učenika. Iako buduće učitelje na izbor profesije motiviraju prvenstveno intrinzični razlozi, ipak veliko radno opterećenje, male plaće, problemi s učeničkom disciplinom i negativna slika o učiteljskoj profesiji - glavni su razlozi koji bi ih mogli navesti na odustanjanje od učiteljske profesije. Provedenim istraživanjem željelo se utvrditi koji su motivacijski čimbenici važni za izbor učiteljskog zanimanja, zadovoljstvo studijem i izborom profesije, kao i mijenja li se važnost motivacijskih čimbenika i zadovoljstvo s obzirom na godinu studija. Na kraju se željelo provjeriti doprinose li motivacijski čimbenici i zadovoljstvo studijem objašnjenju zadovoljstva izborom profesije. U ispitivanju je sudjelovalo 179 studenata svih pet godina učiteljskog studija na Sveučilištu u Zadru. Studenti su ispunili Upitnik čimbenika koji utječu na izbor učiteljske profesije (FIT-choice) i odgovorili na dva pitanja o zadovoljstvu studijem i zadovoljstvu izborom učiteljske profesije. Rezultati su pokazali da su najvažniji čimbenici izbora učiteljske profesije privlačnost rada s djecom, mogućnost djelovanja na budućnost djece i intrinzična vrijednost poučavanja, kao i vjerovanja da je učiteljski posao težak te da zahtijeva visoku stručnost. Najmanje važni čimbenici su mobilnost zanimanja, plaća i drugi izbor, odnosno činjenica da dijelu studenata učiteljski studij nije bio prvi izbor. Utvrđeno je također da su studenti zadovoljni izborom profesije, ali i studijem. Neki motivacijski čimbenici (rad s djecom, percepcija vlastitih sposobnosti, utjecaj drugih i sigurnost zaposlenja), kao i zadovoljstvo izborom profesije, pokazuju neke razlike s obzirom na godinu studija, s glavnom tendencijom javljanja zabrinutosti i smanjenja zadovoljstva u studenata završne godine. Na kraju smo utvrdili da su neki motivacijski čimbenici kao i zadovoljstvo studijem značajni prediktori zadovoljstva izborom učiteljske profesije.

Geography Courses in the University Studies of Economics in the Context of Globalization

The research explores the need of introducing geography courses into the university studies of economics, particularly into management studies, and proposes a model for the implementation of geography courses into the undergraduate and graduate study programs of management in the Department of Economics at the University of Zadar, Croatia. The paper presents a detailed description of the two proposed courses—Economic Geography and Political Geography—including the course goals and learning outcomes, as well as factual insights, theoretical knowledge, social and cognitive skills, independence, responsibility, and other competences that the students will acquire in both courses. The syllabi containing these data are in line with the Bologna process and Croatian qualifications framework whose implementation into the educational system was accepted by Croatia when signing the Bologna declaration principles. The paper deals with a number of essential research issues: How to carry out the modelled implementation and introduce a necessary level of multi- disciplinary quality to the economics study programs? What are the obstacles and constraints that may arise in the process? In what way are the post-transition countries specific in this regard? How may these changes affect the learning outcomes and competencies that management students have to acquire in the field of geography? Is the significance of the described implementation even greater—and to what extent—with regard to the forthcoming accession of Croatia to the European Union? The methodology that was used in the research is related to successful cases of similar implementation of geography courses into economics study programs in the world, but also to the observation during teaching in the Department of Economics at the University of Zadar. The information collected by the observation revealed that the students’ knowledge and competencies in this area were insufficient. The results gathered over the first two years of the implementation of the two geography courses—Economic Geography and Political Geography—proved that the students entirely satisfied the criteria set by the syllabi of the respective courses and that they successfully met the course requirements, thereby acquiring the desired competencies. This leads to the conclusion that the thesis set forth in this paper proved to be correct, and that this paper’s model for the implementation of geography courses in the area of management studies produced first good and promising results.

POSSIBILITIES OF EXTENDING DIGITAL HUMANITIES INTO SEMANTIC WEB ENVIRONMENT: THE CASE STUDY OF CROATIAN MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS AND INCUNABULA AND THEIR FRAGMENTS

The article deals with the research on and description of medieval manuscripts and incunabula and their fragments as part of the digital humanities project in the context of the Semantic Web. It first describes the case study of Croatian medieval manuscripts and incunabula proposed as a research project by the Department of Information Sciences, University of Zadar. The focus of the project was directed at the selection of data elements required for detailed description of the mentioned material and their standardization using ontologies developed by the old and rare book community’s disciplines such as bibliography, codicology, palaeography and typography. A brief introduction to the technological infrastructure of the Semantic Web and its standards follows, with a detailed description of methodology to publish a selected vocabulary in one of the metadata registry services. This section of the article concludes with the RDF graph for the partially reconstituted record of a fragment description as an example of publishing linked open data. As each of the mentioned disciplines uses its own value vocabularies or ontologies, it is suggested that mappings between their terms is designed using SKOS rules, rather than aiming at the use of one common vocabulary.

Department of Art History, University of Zadar, Croatia

Pročelje crkve u Starom Pagu (mjestu gdje se nalazio srednjovjekovni grad prije gradnje današnjeg Paga) sagradio je i ukrasio reljefima majstor Pavao iz Sulmone 1392. godine, kako svjedoči uklesan natpis. Autor, koji se i ranije bavio tim umjetnikom, iznosi pregled njegova djelovanja prema podacima iz zadarskog bilježničkog arhiva. Pavao je u Zadru sagradio nadgrobni spomenik nadbiskupu Nikoli Matafaru 1386. godine, sagradio svetište u crkvi Sv. Mihovila i sakristiju u crkvi Sv. Spasitelja 1388., radio u samostanu Sv. Krševana 1389. i obvezao se sagraditi raskošnu kapelu Sv. Šimuna uz crkvu Sv. Marije Velike 1300. godine. Od zadarskih radova sačuvali su se dijelovi Matafarova spomenika i svetišta crkve Sv. Mihovila. Uspoređujući paške reljefe i Matafarov spomenik s raznim zadarskim reljefima, autor ih atribuira Pavlu. Ujedno prvi put objavljuje jedan dosad nepoznat ugovor između Pavla i pomoćnika, nedavno pronađeni ulomak s ljudskim likom koji pripada Matafarovu spomeniku, te tri kipa što mu se mogu pripisati, a ranije su bila nedostupna.

SKAITMENINĖS HUMANITARIKOS IŠPLĖTIMO SEMANTINIAME ŽINIATINKLYJE GALIMYBĖS: KROATIJOS VIDURAMŽIŲ RANKRAŠČIŲ, INKUNABULŲ IR JŲ FRAGMENTŲ ATVEJO ANALIZĖ

Rankraščių rinkiniai – tai labai įvairaus pobūdžio rankraščiai, paprastai apibrėžiami kaip „ranka ant popieriaus arba pergamento užrašytas tekstas arba dokumentas“ (Peter Beal). Tai gali būti šeimos ar asmeniniai dokumentai, dienoraščiai, laiškai, archyvų rinkiniai ir kt. Viduramžių rankraščiai – kodeksai, žemėlapiai, muzikos kūriniai arba jų fragmentai – sudaro specialią rankraš­čių rūšį. Kaip ir inkunabulai, rankraščių rinkiniai yra vertingiausia bibliotekų paveldo dalis, dėl jų mus pasiekia itin daug informacijos apie viduramžių istoriją, kultūrą, literatūrą, socialinę istoriją, gyvenimo tendencijas. Be šių šaltinių informacija būtų dingusi. Senų ir retų rankraščių tyri­mai svarbūs tiek šalies, tiek visos Europos kultūros ir socialinei istorijai. Žvelgiant iš humanitarinių mokslų perspektyvos, būtina išskirti keletą veiksnių, kurie lėmė reikšmingus pokyčius tyrinėjant rankraščius ir pirmąsias spausdintines knygas. Pa­čiu svarbiausiu laikomas informacinių technologijų poveikis beveik visoms tyrimo sritims. Šie pokyčiai lėmė ir naujos disciplinos – skaitmeninių humanitarinių mokslų atsiradimą. Pasak Toby’o Burrowso, viduramžių tyrinėtojai yra „pažangiausi skaitmeninių technologi­jų taikymo humanitarinių mokslų tyrimuose atstovai“. Vis dėlto T. Burrowsas išskiria ir keletą keblumų, susijusių su interneto ir skaitmeninės bibliotekos paslaugomis. Jis nurodo „integracijos ir sąveikos tarp daugybės skirtingų interneto svetainių stygių“ bei terminolo­gijos nenuoseklumą taikant aprašomuosius standartus. Savo ruožtu tai sukelia probleminę situaciją, nes „tyrinėtojams visame pasaulyje kyla daug sunkumų rasti, naudotis ir dalytis žiniomis apie viduramžių rankraščių kolekcijas“. Visiškai pritariame T. Burrowso minčiai, kad šią problemą galima išspręsti sukuriant tarptautinę bendradarbiavimo infrastruktūrą, kuri leistų tvarkyti turinį ir tarpusavyje susijusias žinias. Mūsų nuomone, ši infrastuktūra gali būti įgyvendinta technologinėje semantinio žiniatinklio ir sujungtų atvirų duomenų (angl. Semantic Web and Linked Open Data) terpėje. Straipsnyje aptariami viduramžių rankraščių ir inkunabulų bei jų fragmentų tyrimai ir šių šal­tinių aprašymas kaip skaitmeninių humanitarinių mokslų projekto dalis, taikant šią naują tech­nologiją. Nagrinėjamas šios srities Kroatijos Zadaro universiteto Informacijos mokslų fakulteto vykdomas mokslinių tyrimų projektas. Projekto tikslas – atrinkti duomenų elementus, reikalingus tiksliam minėtų šaltinių aprašymui ir jų standartizavimui, naudojant senų ir retų knygų tyrinėtojų parengtas bibliografijos, kodikologijos, paleografijos bei tipografijos ontologijas.Straipsnyje pateikiamas ir trumpas technologinės semantinio tinklo infrastruktūros bei jo standartų įvadas. Detaliai aprašoma metodika, padedanti paskelbti pasirinktą žodyną kaip vieną iš metaduomenų registro paslaugų. Pateikiamas sujungtų atvirų duomenų paskelbimo pavyzdys – pri­statatomas grafikas, vaizduojantis iš dalies rekonstruoto rankraščio fragmento aprašymą. Kadangi visos minėtos disciplinos naudoja savo žodynus ir ontologijas, straipsnio autorės siūlo orientuotis ne į vieno bendro žodyno naudojimą, o į atitinkamų terminų sąsajų projektavimą vadovaujantis SKOS taisyklėmis. Taip būtų kuriami būsimos tarptautinės bendradarbiavimo struktūros pagrindai.

Radionički pečati na italskoj tera sigilati iz Bunuma

Ranije poduzeta a od 2003. g. tekuća arheološka istraživanja pod vodstvom Gradskog muzeja u Drnišu i Odjela za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Zadru na teritoriju rimskog vojnog logora/municipija Burnum (Ivoševci kod Kistanja) su, osim monumentalnih arhitektonskih cjelina (principij logora/forum municipija, amfiteatar, vježbališni kampus i dr.), pružila uvid u iznimno veliku količinu sitnog arheološkog materijala. U njemu je iz rane faze burnumskog života (prva polovina 1. st.) i korpus od osamdesetak radioničkih pečata koji na finoj stolnoj keramici svjedoči iznimno o aktivnom importu s italskog područja. Njihova analiza, uz sagledavanje općeg fundusa keramičkih nalaza, pruža detaljnije podatke o prostornim i kronološkim izvorištima opskrbe, a usporedba sa sličnim nalazima iz civilnih i vojnih lokaliteta osvjetljava položaj rimske Dalmacije u regionalnim trgovačkim kretanjima.
