The Official Report on the work of the Gender Equality Ombudsperson is an annual report submitted to the Croatian Parliament by March 31 of the current year, in accordance with Article 21, para. 1 of the Gender Equality Law and Article 18 of the Rules of Procedure of the Office of Gender Equality Ombudsperson (The Official Gazette 29/04). 4 PART TWO WORK INDICATORS OF THE GENDER EQUALITY OMBUDSPERSON FOR 2004 II.1. GENERAL INDICATORS During 2004, the Gender Equality Ombudsperson took action in a total of 3739 cases, which are in this part of the report shown in a table, and later will be divided by areas of work of the Gender Equality Ombudsperson. Table 1 Area 2004 Received/opened Resolved Unresolved Discrimination in the 3 3 area of work and employment (The Law on Civil Servants)1 Discrimination in the 28 23 5 area of work and employment (The Labor Law)2 Total 01 31 23 8 Primary education 5 1 4 Education - other 41 21 20 Total 02 46 22 24 Parental care 9 6 3 Violence in the family 38 31 7 Total 03 47 37 10 Media contents 95 1 94 Conveying 1 1 statements/attitudes Media – other 4 4 Total 05 100 5 95 State bodies 27 2 25 Legal entities owned by 134 52 82 the state State and other bodies – 32 32 advertisements Total 06 193 86 107 Units of local and 1,140 857 283 regional government Legal entities owned by 1,901 350 1,551 units of local and regional government Units of local and 44 39 5 regional government – job advertisements Total 07 3,085 1,246 1,839 Other legal entities – 86 80 6 advertisements Total 08 86 80 6 Civil society 8 7 1 Total 09 8 7 1 Discrimination -other / 7 5 2 direct GE - other / indirect 2 2 1 The Law on Civil Servants (The Official Gazette 27/01) 2 The Labor Law (The Official Gazette 137/04 – full text) 5 Total 10 9 7 2 Total - Work of the 134 113 21 Office 11-14 TOTAL 01-14 3,739 1,626 2,113 The Gender Equality Ombudsperson took action in the above mentioned cases by monitoring the implementation of the GEL and other gender equality regulations. The structure of complaints shows that the priorities of the Gender Equality Ombudsperson were determined by and dependant upon deadlines prescribed by the GEL (Article 11 and 30 – adoption of operational plans for the promotion and establishment of gender equality). Without the implementation of these provisions, it is unreasonable to expect that the purpose of the Law will be achieved. The second priority was the need to present the idea of gender equality and implementation of the GEL and other regulations to as many legal and physical persons as possible, especially state bodies, legal entities with public authority, legal entities predominantly owned by the state and units of local and regional government, which must evaluate the impact of their work and behaviors on the position of women and men. That is why the Gender Equality Ombudsperson not only monitored the implementation of the GEL through numerous warnings, recommendations, public and media statements and meetings, but also promoted it. II.2. STRUCTURE OF COMPLAINTS In 2004, there were 88 complaints to the Gender Equality Ombudsperson, in the following areas: - family in 47 cases or 53.4 %, - work and employment in 31 cases or 35.2 % , - education in 1 case or 1.1 % and - other in 9 cases or 10.3 %.

  • Istraživanje Tržišta Tiska U 2017
    Agencija za zaštitu tržišnog natjecanja Zagreb, listopad 2018. Istraživanje tržišta tiska u 2017. Agencija za zaštitu tržišnog natjecanja provela je ispitivanje tržišta tiska u Republici Hrvatskoj u 2017., s ciljem utvrđivanja tržišnih udjela poduzetnika koji djeluju na tom tržištu, kako bi raspolagala bazom podataka s naglaskom na strukturi konkretnog tržišta. Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni poduzetnici iz Upisnika o izdavanju i distribuciji tiska sukladno Zakonu o medijima, koji vodi Hrvatska gospodarska komora (HGK), a uzorak u istraživanju predstavljala su ukupno 43 novinska nakladnika i distributera tiska. Analizom su obuhvaćena tržišta naklade tiska (općeinformativni dnevnici i tjednici), tržišta oglašavanja u općeinformativnim dnevnicima i tjednicima te tržišta trgovine tiskom na području Republike Hrvatske. Tržišni udjeli poduzetnika na mjerodavnim tržištima utvrđeni su temeljem prodanih naklada izraženih u primjercima tiskovina, odnosno prihoda koji su poduzetnici ostvarili na tržištu oglašavanja, trgovinom na veliko tiskom i tržištu trgovine na malo tiskom. Neovisno o tome je li riječ o elektroničkim ili tiskanim medijima, glavni izvor financiranja medija su prihodi od oglašavanja. Stoga se, kod određivanja mjerodavnog tržišta, u pravilu utvrđuje i tržište oglašavanja te je isto obuhvaćeno ovim istraživanjem. Pravni okvir Tržište tiska u Republici Hrvatskoj regulirano je Zakonom o medijima (ZoM) kao osnovnim propisom. Tim se propisom između ostaloga, uređuje način zaštite tržišnog natjecanja na području javnog informiranja. ZoM utvrđuje

L. Kiser – August 2019 Overview This report compares the lives of three historical geniuses: Benjamin Franklin, Nikola Tesla, and Walter Russell. By examining their extraordinary lives in a chronological, time-line basis, observations can be drawn relating to their accomplishments, similarities, and differences during all phases of their lives. These comparisons are supplemented with more than 100 public domain photos, drawings, and related images associated with each remarkable man. Additional insights about them are then presented. Here now is a brief overview relating to Ben, Nikola, and Walter. Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790) was an American polymath (a person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning) and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, Freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, humorist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat.

  • Prodigal Genius BIOGRAPHY of NIKOLA TESLA 1994 Brotherhood of Life, Inc., 110 Dartmouth, SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA
    Prodigal Genius BIOGRAPHY OF NIKOLA TESLA 1994 Brotherhood of Life, Inc., 110 Dartmouth, SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA "SPECTACULAR" is a mild word for describing the strange experiment with life that comprises the story of Nikola Tesla, and "amazing" fails to do adequate justice to the results that burst from his experiences like an exploding rocket. It is the story of the dazzling scintillations of a superman who created a new world; it is a story that condemns woman as an anchor of the flesh which retards the development of man and limits his accomplishment--and, paradoxically, proves that even the most successful life, if it does not include a woman, is a dismal failure. Even the gods of old, in the wildest imaginings of their worshipers, never undertook such gigantic tasks of world- wide dimension as those which Tesla attempted and accomplished. On the basis of his hopes, his dreams, and his achievements he rated the status of the Olympian gods, and the Greeks would have so enshrined him. Little is the wonder that so-called practical men, with their noses stuck in profit-and-loss statements, did not understand him and thought him strange. The light of human progress is not a dim glow that gradually becomes more luminous with time. The panorama of human evolution is illumined by sudden bursts of dazzling brilliance in intellectual accomplishments that throw their beams far ahead to give us a glimpse of the distant future, that we may more correctly guide our wavering steps today. Tesla, by virtue of the amazing discoveries and inventions which he showered on the world, becomes one of the most resplendent flashes that has ever brightened the scroll of human advancement.

    EUROPEAN y gathering 35 local scholars, experts, and civil society activists specialized in ISLAMOPHOBIA racism and human rights, the fifth edition of theEuropean Islamophobia Report addresses a still timely and politically important issue. All 32 country reports REPORT includedB in this book follow a unique structure that is convenient, first, for comparing countries and, second, for selected readings on a particular topic such as politics, em- 2019 ployment, or education with regard to Islamophobia across Europe. The present report investigates in detail the underlying dynamics that directly or indirectly ENES BAYRAKLI • FARID HAFEZ (Eds) support the rise of anti-Muslim racism in Europe. This extends from Islamophobic state- ments spread in national media to laws and policies that restrain the fundamental rights of European Muslim citizens and threaten the whole of society. As a result, the European Islamophobia Report 2019 discusses the impact of anti-Muslim racism on human rights, multiculturalism, and the state of law in Europe. This fifth edition of our report highlights how European societies are progressively over- whelmed by the Islamophobic discourse of the “Great Replacement” and other far-right conspiracy theories. The 32 country reports demonstrate how governments and main- stream media participate in reproducing such discourses that put the fundamental rights of millions of European citizens in jeopardy and how one can counteract these developments. This compendium of useful insights and data aims to provide European policy-makers, institutions, and NGOs with recommendations on how to tackle anti-Muslim racism in Europe seriously.

Since the beginning of the war in Croatia (1991-95) when the state media stimulated the production of popular music conveying appropriate narratives of national identity, Croatian popular music has been a site for the articulation of explicit national narratives of identity. The practice has continued into the present day, reflecting political and social change in Croatia (e.g. the growth of the war veterans lobby and protests against the Hague Tribunal).

  • The Formation of Croatian National Identity
    bellamy [22.5].jkt 21/8/03 4:43 pm Page 1 Europeinchange E K T C The formation of Croatian national identity ✭ This volume assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework that calls both primordialist and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity into question before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so it not only provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important but also closely examines 1990s Croatia in a unique way. An explanation of how Croatian national identity was formed in an abstract way by a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state is given. The book goes on to show how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora change change groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to The formation legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different visions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were in manifested in social activities as diverse as football and religion, in of Croatian economics and language. ✭ This volume marks an important contribution to both the way we national identity bellamy study nationalism and national identity and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.
