Scientific Inspiration

It is a great honour and privilege to present the third volume of the scholarly journal Miscellanea Hadriatica et Mediterranea published by the Department of History at the University of Zadar. With this volume we would like to celebrate the 70th birthday of our recently retired professor Slobodan Čače. As a long-lasting professor of antiquity at the Department of History, prof. Čače has left an immense legacy as a beloved teacher and a brilliant scientist. His intellectual curiosity led him to research different topics, ranging from the protohistorical Liburnia – a topic that is his permanent scientific inspiration, over the analysis of ancient written sources, archaeology, social organisation of autochthonous peoples and their social transformations, to the historical toponymy, philology of ancient languages and many other topics. His retirement was only a formality as prof. Čače continued his scholarly research and advisement of young scientists with equal zeal. Although his health situation has forced him to slow down his pace, his spirit, scientific curiosity and critical mind have remained quite vibrant. On behalf of the whole Editorial staff, all of the authors and associates of the journal and our colleagues we would like to wish him all the best, successful recovery and many more joyous anniversaries.

Low Rate

An exploratory study was conducted examining the problem of identity and participation among Saudi youth in light of social transformations. The project combined the quantitative and the qualitative curricula and relied on a field study using an electronic questionnaire with a sample of 1318 male and female students from the University of Hail and the participation of 120 students in focus groups during the beginning of the 2020/2021 academic year. The research was based on a number of international and local studies and surveys, and its conclusions were compared with their outcomes. The study outlined a set of indicators that showed the growing expression of the national belonging of the Saudi state in the context of an Arab–Islamic civilisation, a moderate view of the West, a balanced vision of reconciling conservatism with a move towards more openness, and a sense of confidence in the state and in the self. The research also found that the low rate of social participation is matched by a full awareness of its importance and a desire to practise it. The study recommended strengthening the gains of young people and developing areas of participation in proportion to the aspirations of those individuals.

Joline Cramer, Jaap de Jong & Frank Nuijens University media in The Netherlands: threats and opportunitiest University media in The Netherlands face a number of risks. This study explores which changes chief editors of Dutch college media and media experts foresee to deal with these threats and what opportunities they see to make university media future-proof for the next ten years. Threats are: the editorial staff is confronted with a growing international target group that is not served optimally, faces competition from numerous internal news services of the university and in some situations the editorial independence of editors is called into question. Opportunities: critical journalism is the oxygen for university democracy; critical news on all subjects and at all levels remains the raison d’être for the university media. Investigative journalism is seen as an important opportunity to set the university agenda and stay relevant. Connecting the international members of the academy to the university is the greatest challenge and opportunity. Keywords: university media, agenda-setting theory, network theory, innovation, investigative journalism

AbstractThe article shows how the topic of dictionaries can be dealt with in German language teaching and how this subject has the potential to acquaint learners with a descriptive and data-driven perspective on language. The project Denkwerk, realized as cooperation among the Institute for German Language, the University of Mannheim and two regional secondary schools, fostered the students’ intellectual curiosity and their interest in discovering linguistic details. Using empirical methods like corpus analysis, pupils learned both how to write wiki-based dictionary articles on their own and how to publish them in the Denktionary, the dictionary of the project. Our contribution describes the didactic and organisational framework of the project, its aims and contents, its schedule of events, as well as the structure of dictionary articles in the Denktionary, and the observed advantages of such a wikibased system.

In my very first semester as an applied anthropology graduate student at the University of Maryland, I was asked to define my ‘domain’ within anthropology. Choosing my domain was a difficult, but rewarding, process. First I had to gather my various life experiences and interests and mold them into a cohesive theme. I was able to accomplish this by combining my intense intellectual curiosity for human gender relations, previous course work in development anthropology, and unwavering dedication to environmentalism. Then I had the challenging task of researching ways in which others had addressed similar issues by conducting a thorough literature search on each aspect of my domain and the combinations thereof. Backed by a distinct body of literature, this domain—gender, environment, and development—thus became the backbone of my ensuing course work and internship. When I finally had a finished product, I realized how establishing and writing my domain forced me to take a critical look at these issues in order to find personal connections and meanings. Since then, I have further clarified and expanded my domain to develop a toolbox of skills and knowledge that I will use in my career as a practicing anthropologist.

The article uses Dnipropetrovs’k University to exemplify the nature, dynamics, scope and peculiarities of the Soviet penal policy and practice of the 1930s regarding the intellectuals as the most educated and active part of Ukrainian society. The emphasis is placed on the fact that millions of Soviet citizens, including hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, fell innocent victims to the state terrorism. Most of them, being labeled «nationalists», «saboteurs», «trotskists», «enemies of the people», have for numerous years been artificially erased from the historical memory of Ukrainians and subjected to oblivion, which significantly weakened the nation’s gene pool, the background and traditions of the national self-awareness and intellectual potential of Ukraine.Substantial evidence makes it possible to trace the lives of numerous university workers, mainly from the cohort of professors and senior managers. In total, we identified the names of 96 people who had been prosecuted or oppressed by the authorities in the mentioned period. Many of them were physically destroyed, that is, shot. The author argues that those were irretrievable losses among the most highly-qualified staff members of the university, those who, through their intelligence, talent and commitment, determined the main trends and content of the university development under deep social transformations of the 1930s. It obviously made a significant impact on the efficiency of both educational and academic activity of the university as one of the leading centers of classical higher education in Ukraine.In turn, the atmosphere of overall suspiciousness and fear caused, to high extent, by the repressions existingin the-then Soviet society despite the parade reports of the Communist Party leaders, and coupled with other negative factors in the system of government greatly affected the rate of economic growth, development of education, science and culture as well as the country’s defense capability in pre-war years.

AbstractBackgroundThe Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) developed infections that caused serious epidemics. Special priority of awareness and prompt initiative involvement of health workers (HW) during such intensified health situation necessitated an assessment of their preparedness, appropriate attitudes and protective strategies for better efficiency modes and acceleration during emergency.MethodsHW of Prince Sultan Military Medical city in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were reviewed through specifically designed questionnaires to acquire the demanded data. It included clinical and demographic information about the viral diseases, associated signs and symptoms, transmission and protection, and attitudes about the MERS-CoV disease.ResultsThe study was accomplished between August and November, 2017 and 477 participants of the medical city, successfully completed the study questionnaire (Appendix I). Females represented a majority and there was an indirectly proportional decrease with the increasing age. Gradual educational increase levels reflected dominance of the university degree holders. Jobs were dominated by nurses and non-Saudis were a majority whilst, the highly experienced, (>10 years) were a minority. A majority recognized the viral transmission methods, popular information sources of MERS-CoV and associated medical terms. Highest scores were observed in dealing with protective aids and recognizing symptoms of disease. High adherence to hand hygiene protocols and correct washing steps were recorded. Correct and high levels were observed in taking preventive measures and avoiding infection. Participants responded correctly to negative and wrong actions that patients should refrain from. High scores were observed in taking appreciable attitudes towards oneself and towards others.ConclusionsExpatriates were majority and nurses were dominant which, necessitates Saudization of this sector. Ministry of health pamphlets and seminars were of less impact in invigilating HW, hence, more attention and efforts are demanded. HW were quite aware of the basic and emergent health policies during epidemic episodes of MERS-CoV.
