Purpose: Development opportunities of higher education institutions (HEI) arising from international activities are constantly evolving, increasing at the same time their complexity. Consequently, numerous activities have been created to connect different higher education institutions across Europe, where the biggest challenge of internationalisation today is the European Universities Initiative. In that context, it is important to measure whether the European Union initiative created better resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: Empirical analysis was conducted that included international students who studied at UNIST for one semester during the pandemic. The following descriptive statistics methods were used for data analysis: percentages, mean, frequency distribution, the standard deviation correlation method, as well as the independent-samples t-test and the correlation method. Results: The results show that from the perspective of international students, there is a positive relationship between perceived service quality and internationalisation during the COVID-19 pandemic period. A case study was presented on the internationalisation of the University of Split as one of the first universities that joined the European Universities Initiative. Conclusion: Internationalisation is one of the keys to success if the perceived quality of higher education can be considered as a key to student satisfaction.

In the past decade, there has been observed increasing importance attributed to the social responsibility of the universities. More and more rankings, which are the basis for measuring each university’s success, consider the social activities of the universities as one of the dimensions of measurement. Sustainability culture in the management has become one of the preconditions of the success of today’s universities. Still, the question that arises is, do the students, who are the main target group of the universities, feel the same way? Service- Learning is a modern pedagogy that combines social activism with learning (officially recognized through the curricula). These activities are linked to one of The United Nations 2030 Agenda 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This pilot research examined whether students are aware of the Service-Learning institutionalization at their university and whether students connect university image with the Service-Learning activities. Furthermore, it was tested whether institutionalization of the Service-Learning activities is related to their satisfaction. The data will be collected using the online survey, and the research will be conducted with the students of the University of Split (undergraduate and graduate study level) during March 2022. The collected data from the survey was analyzed using the IBM SPSS tool.

S ciljem što boljeg razumijevanja odluka koje studenti donose u procesu odabira visokog učilišta, napravljen je pregled dosadašnje literature. Pregledom je uočeno da prevagu u kontekstu odabira visokog učilišta kod studenata može činiti kvaliteta usluge u visokom obrazovanju. Kako bi se uočilo što sve djeluje na konstrukt kvalitete, kao i posljedice koje iz njega proizlaze, uočena su dva moguća izvorišta percipirane razine kvalitete u visokom obrazovanju. Riječ je o Sukreiranju i Tržišnoj orijentaciji studenata. Također, analizirana je i Namjera ponašanja kao reakcija studenata na Percipiranu razinu kvalitete. Za potrebe utvrđivanja smjera, intenziteta i statističke značajnosti povezanosti navedenih izvorišta i reakcija na Percipiranu kvalitetu visokog učilišta, predložen je teoretski model koji je empirijskim istraživanjem testiran. U prvoj fazi istraživanja je provedena fokus grupa, test razumljivosti upitnika te pilot istraživanje. U drugoj fazi, nakon manjih izmjena anketnog upitnika, istraživanje se provelo na većem broju ispitanika pri čemu su uzorak činili studenti javnih i privatnih visokih učilišta iz polja ekonomije na području Hrvatske. U istraživanju su odabrani studenti koji se nalaze na posljednjoj godini studija preddiplomske razine, s obzirom na njihovo prethodno iskustvo studiranja na visokom učilištu i uzimajući u obzir činjenicu da je pred njima odluka o nastavku studiranja na diplomskoj razini. Pri obradi podataka su se koristile metode deskriptivne statistike, korelacijska i regresijska analiza, eksplorativna i konfirmatorna faktorska analiza te modeliranje strukturnim jednadžbama (SEM). Rezultatima empirijskog istraživanja potvrđene su hipoteze o postojanju pozitivne povezanosti Sukreiranja studenata s Percipiranom razinom kvalitete te pozitivne povezanosti Tržišne orijentacije s Percipiranom razinom kvalitete. Također, dokazana je i pozitivna povezanost Percipirane razine kvalitete i Namjere ponašanja te je potvrđen predloženi konceptualni model., In order to achieve a better understanding of decisions that students make when choosing a higher education institution, a review of the literature has been made. The literature review showed that the construct of 'higher education service Quality' can be considered as a determinant that affects a student's decision when choosing among the considered institutions. With the aim of understanding potential influences that shape this construct (as well as consequences that arise from it), two constructs have been identified as the origins of the perceived level of service quality: Co-creation of students and a Market orientation of the students. Also, a Behavioral intention of students has been identified as a reaction to the perceived level of service quality. In order to assess a relationship, direction, intensity and statistical significance of the connection between the mentioned origins and reactions to the Perceived quality of the higher education institution, a theoretical model has been proposed which has been tested by empirical research. The research was conducted in two phases; the first phase involved an implementation of a focus group and evaluation of the questionnaire comprehensibility at public and private higher education institutions followed by a pilot research. Based on the results of the first phase, minor changes were introduced to the questionnaire and the second phase of the research study was initiated. This phase included a larger number of participants who provided responses to standardized questionnaires. The sample consisted of students from public and private higher education institutions in the field of economics, studying in Croatia. The participants of the research were students who are studying a last year of undergraduate studies, given the previous experience of students at the university, but taking into account the fact that they have a decision to make about studying at the master level. For the processing and evaluation of the obtained data, descriptive statistical methods, correlation tests, regression analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and SEM methods were used. This empirical research has confirmed a positive relationship between both: the students' Co-creation and the Market orientation of the students have a positive correlation with the Perceived service quality. In addition, a positive correlation between the Perceived service quality and a Behavioral intention has been shown (proposed model was confirmed).

Aim: Higher educational institutions (hereinafter HEI) to be competitive on the market should implement market orientation principles. This means that to obtain adequate information from the market, HEIs should analyse different influences on students’ decision- making process while deciding about their future education. Hence, purpose of this paper is to analyse intrinsic and extrinsic motivators that shape students' expected and perceived service quality of HEI. // Methodology: Paper tests Chapman model (1981) and analyses different students' motivators and their relationship with expected as well as with perceived service quality. Intrinsic motivators are approached as socio-economic status, results of admission procedures, prior student experience with HEI and educational aims. Extrinsic motivators are explored as significant individuals, HEI’s communication and HEI’s characteristics. Research focuses on decision- making phase where students are selecting HEI to continue their education. Service quality is based on Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry (1988) SERVQUAL scale. Research was conducted on 250 students enrolled in 1st year of study at public HEI in Croatia. // Results: Results point out that students’ extrinsic motivators are positively related to both expected and perceived service quality. While students’ intrinsic motivators have mixed relationships with expected and perceived service quality. Prior student experience with HEI is positively related to expected service quality. Education of mother, family income and prior experience with HEI are positively related to perceived service quality. While results of admission procedures are negatively related to perceived service quality. Paper offers implications for HEIs policy makers, marketing and communication managers identifying motivators that are influencing positively or negatively students’ decision- making while selecting HEI to continue their educational process.

Turizam je danas zasigurno najveća svjetska industrija u kojoj mnogi zapravo vide rješenje velikog problema nezaposlenosti. Sportski turizam se svrstava u takozvane specifične oblike turizma koji se temelje na motivaciji za putovanjem. Sport i sportska natjecanja su u suvremenom turizmu važan sadržaj boravka u turističkoj destinaciji a turisti su sve češće „aktivni“ sudionici različitih sportova i vidova rekreacije. Za zaključiti je da se strateški razvoj hrvatskog turizma, između ostaloga, bazira i na aktivnim odmorom. Kao jedna od glavnih komponenti razvoja Hrvatska 365, projekta kreiranog od strane Hrvatske turističke zajednice, navodi se pokretanje čitavog niza aktivnosti i sadržaja koje obogaćuju turističke sadržaje i izvan standardne turističke sezone, dakle u pred sezoni i post sezoni. Jedna od glavnih komponenti razvoja je poticanje i biciklizma, aktivnog odmora, ali i kulture, spa & wellnessa, hrane i vina te poslovnih putovanja. Jačanjem sportskog turizma u globalu i činjenicom koja svjedoči o povećavanjem broja sportskih turista svake godine, došlo je i do potrebe u okretanju marketinške komunikacijske strategije hotelskih kuća, koje se u budućnosti okreću novom ciljnom segmentu – a to su sportaši, aktivni ili pasivni. Cilj istraživanja kreiranog za potrebe ovog rada je bio analizirati dosadašnjih istraživanja slične tematike, deskriptivno analizirati web sjedišta odabranih hotelskih kuća, deskriptivno analizirati sportske sadržaje odabranih 5 hrvatskih hotela koristeći informacije dostupne na web sjedištima, potom, analizirati Internet marketing aktivnosti pomoću alata Woorank i na koncu usporediti dobivene rezultate kako bi se vrednovale različite Internet marketing aktivnosti odabranih hotelskih kuća. Istraživanje je napravljeno u studenom 2016. godine (01.-10. studenog), kao rezultat pretraživanja na Google tražilici gdje se jednostavnim utipkavanjem ključnih riječi: sport hoteli, odabralo pet različitih hotelskih kuća za koje se smatralo da mogu pretpostavljati reprezentativni primjerak.

U današnjem konkurentski oblikovanom visoko obrazovnom okruženju, visoka učilišta sve su češće prisiljena razmišljati i djelovati marketinški. U tom kontekstu, nezamislivo je njihovo poslovanje bez uporabe različitih metoda internet marketinga. U radu se posebno analizira na koji način visoka učilišta u Republici Hrvatskoj koriste dostupne online marketinške alate u svojoj promociji.

Websites in tourism, or more precisely, websites of tourist boards, are one of the promotion channels whose aim is to attract new guests and retain the existing ones. However, these websites are not equally successful in converting their virtual visitors into real guests. In order to evaluate the websites effectiveness, different approaches and methods can be used. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to test three different evaluation methods and inspect their advantages and disadvantages on the example of the websites of Croatian tourist boards. the data were collected by a counting method, an automated method and by a survey method based on the user’s judgment. This approach has enabled the gathering of various subjective and objective indicators needed for the evaluation and comparison of the analysed websites. The results were presented in terms of the quality of the available information, the accessibility of the websites, and the first impressions of the visitors. This has overall demonstrated the advantage of using a combination of the above methods in the evaluation of websites in tourism.

Football is “the most important secondary thing in the world” and as such it has become a significant economic sector and a crucial source in many funding instruments. The euphoria that is generated when a national football team takes part in a world championship brings along certain financial investments. The impact is not only of a financial nature, but its implications are also relevant in the psychological context ; both regarding the host country as well as all other teams that compete in the championship. The feeling of unity and solidarity, and the fighting spirit, that appear in the football team and during the games create a certain force. In this study, the authors do not focus on the psychological connotations that a football championship creates but rather on the effects that are realized in the field of economy. In the introduction, the emphasis is on the significance of football among different sports. The authors then give an overview of the largest sporting event – The World Cup. After that authors give an overview of various research studies concerning economic impacts of sport events with main conclusions.

U radu je opisana struktura motoričkih sposobnosti, s posebnim naglaskom na populaciju učenika u primarnoj edukaciji. Istaknuta je važnost određivanja motoričkih sposobnosti za procese planiranja, programiranja i kontrole tjelesnog vježbanja. Također, date su konkretne smjernice za unaprijeđenje neposrednog nastavnog rada u području tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture.

In the dynamic world of communications which constantly widens its network, the Internet and one’s presentation on the World Wide Web represents an indisputable importance. Today, it is inconceivable to run a business without having the Internet appearance and marketing directed towards the online sector. In this work, the author explains the relevance and importance of Internet marketing, primarily by focusing on the promotion through the website content. Different characteristics, which need to be accounted for in order to achieve a good quality website, have been investigated. The aim to identify these elements was guided with the idea of creating a website that informs and satisfies the user which is the main challenge in site design. After identifying the crucial characteristics, theoretical frames have been applied on the analysis of web sites for the five leading football clubs in Croatia, defined on the basis of the top ranking clubs in current Croatian League table.

Razvojem interneta odnosno World Wide Web servisa paralelno dolazi do porasta i razvoja usluga vezanih za taj kanal. Jedna od tih usluga je svakako e-commerce ili usluga elektronske trgovine. Definicija te usluge bi bila svako obavljanje poslovne komunikacije i transakcije preko mreže i putem računala. Naime, e-commerce je kupnja i prodaja robe i usluga, te prijenos sredstava putem digitalne komunikacije, uključujući proviziju zaračunatu primatelju kao i provjeru njegove autentičnosti. Revolucija u informacijskoj tehnologiji (IT) i komunikaciji promijenila je način na koji ljudi vode posao. Internet se danas doživljava kao kanal za komercijalne transakcije. Svijet postaje globalno tržište dostupno svima i svim vrstama transakcija. E-commerce nudi smanjenje troškova i vremena transakcija. Tvrtke postaju svjesne da moraju promijeniti ili napustiti svoje tradicionalno poslovanje, te da moraju prihvatiti odgovarajuće elektronske strategije poslovanja. Ovaj način razmišljanja obuhvaća sve sfere, pa tako i sport.

Budući da je sportski turizam jedna od najbrže rastućih industrija u svijetu i da broj sportskih udruga, klubova a tako i ljudi koji se aktivno bave sportom raste iz dana u dan, do izražaja dolazi značaj privlačenja sve većeg broja sudionika, posjetitelja, konzumenata u tu granu turizma. Glavnu ulogu u sportskom menadžmentu preuzima marketing koji treba definirati ciljno tržište, izdvojiti segmente, uočiti njihove sklonosti i vrijednosti te shodno tome formirati najbolji način promoviranja i kvalitetan odnos s javnošću. Izbor strategija sportsko-rekreacijskog turizma ovisi o veličini događaja koji se organizira, kao što općenito sportsko-rekreacijska ponuda treba ovisiti o potražnji turista. U dosadašnjim istraživanjima marketing je bio prilagođen upravo onome što se pokazalo da turisti žele od sportske rekreacije u Hrvatskoj, a to je plivanje i kupanje (Novak, 2006.). Shodno obliku sportske-rekreacije kombinira se marketinški pristup, no ono što je zajedničko svim pristupima je profesionalizacija u sportu koja ne prakticira više masovni marketing, već se potrošaču pristupa individualno i shodno njegovim željama kreira se odgovarajući sportsko marketinški miks. Za razliku od kombinacije klasičnih 4 P elemenata, u sportskom marketingu se posebna važnost daje odnosima s javnošću koji se zbog svog značaja pojavljuju kao peti element marketing miksa.

Agglomeration of Burnum in the province of Dalmatia comprised several components. Oppidum on Gradina near Puljani on the left bank of the Krka River was the centre of Liburnian Burnistae. On the opposite site on the right bank were built Roman legionary camp and the auxiliary castellum. During the Emperor Hadrian’s reign municipium Burnum developed from canabae and peregrine settlement. Recent archaeological excavations of the military amphitheatre revealed two main building phases (the first one during the reign of Claudius and the second one in Vespasian’s time). Next to the south entrance of the amphitheatre started excavations of huge quadrangular object, probably military, then municipal campus.

O Liberovim svetištima i svečanostima održavanim u njegovu čast vrlo malo se zna. Rijetke informacije nalazimo na natpisu iz Senije ; riječi cum accubitu et sedibus, tj. jasan spomen stolne ležaljke i sjedalice dopuštaju nam da pretpostavimo kako su se u ovome svetištu održavali ritualni banketi i noćne ceremonije. Reljef iz Salone s posvetom Deo Laeto, bogu smijeha i pijanstva, stavlja na scenu svečanost agrarnog karaktera, po svoj prilici svečanost berbe, koja podsjeća i na ritual orgija.

Ključnu ulogu u širenju carskog kulta u Iliriku odigrao je Tiberijev namjesnik Publije Kornelije Dolabela, u čije je doba vjerojatno i organiziran liburnski pokrajinski carski kult ad aram Augusti Liburnorum. Zasada je teško reći prethodi li on provincijskom iliričkom kultu, kao što je to slučaj u Hispaniji, gdje je pokrajinski kult kod Asturaca i Kantabra prethodio organiziranju središnjeg provincijskog kulta u Taraku. Restauracija carskog kulta u cjelini, a time i liburnskog, započinje dinastijom Flavijevaca, kada Skardona postiže municipalni status., The first manifestations of the imperial cult in Illyricum can be noted as early as in the period of Octavianus Augustus, when the collegium Iuliales was formed, whose Vir was noted at Iader. Augustus was the patron of the colony of Iader, hence the primary task of the collegium was the promotion of the cult of the imperial family. At Scardona a Liburnian regional imperial cult, ad aram Augusti Liburnorum, has been documented. This article discusses whether this was preceded by a provincial Illyrian cult, as was the case in Hispania, where the regional cult among the Asturians and Cantabrians was preceded by the organization of a central provincial cult at Tarraco. The Liburnian imperial cult probably originated during the reign of Tiberius, and was systematically organized by his governors Publius Cornelius Dolabella and Lucius Volusius Saturninus. From this period comes an inscription dedicated to the Caesar Nero, the son of Germanicus, who is raising the civitates Liburniae. The restoration of the imperial cult as a whole, hence including that of Liburnia, began with the Flavian dynasty, when Scardona was granted municipal status.

Na Silvanovim reljefima iz Salone, Dola na Hvaru i Duvna vinova loza ili grozd ukazuju na kultni sinkretizam između Libera i delmatskog boga. Prirodno je da je Liberov kult, koji je utemeljen na vinogradarstvu, poslužio za dopunjavanje osnovnih šumsko-pastirskih osobina i vrijednosti delmatskog boga.

U članku se obrađuju rezultati arheoloških istraživanja na položaju Dugopolje – Vučipolje, na dijelu trase autoceste Zagreb – Dubrovnik. Istraživanja je izvršio Odjel za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Zadru, u vremenu od veljače do svibnja godine 2005. U središtu interesa bio je položaj zidane kasnoantičke grobnice obložene rimskim stelama (riječ je o 7 stela koje su iskorištene kao spolije u njezinoj gradnji) istražene još 1980. g. pod vodstvom Nenada Cambija. Novim istraživanjem ušlo se u trag još jednoj grobnici u kojoj su zabilježena dva horizonta pokapanja, i to iz dr. pol. IV. st., te VI. st. U njezinoj neposrednoj blizini djelomično je istražena i antička cisterna s mozaičkom podnicom, koja čini dio naseobinskoga kompleksa (utvrđenog georadarskom metodom) uz koji se mogu vezati spomenute grobnice. Treća pozicija na kojoj se istraživalo je brdo Pupavica gdje je ustanovljena kasnoantička arhitektura. Sva tri položaja pokazuju istovremenost što daje uvid u karakteristike naseljenosti jedne ruralne zajednice na izrazito plodnom i prometno frekventnom prostoru u čemu se i vide glavne prednosti izabranih položaja, This article presents the results of archaeological excavations at the site Dugopolje – Vučipolje, along the course of the Zagreb-Dubrovnik highway. Excavation was carried out by the Department of Archaeology of the University of Zadar from February to May 2005. Minor excavations had already been performed at this site in 1980, with the discovery of a walled grave vault from the period of late Antiquity lined with 7 Roman stelae dated to the early Imperial period. The new excavations were intended to uncover a broader context for this grave vault, and were divided into three sectors. All three sectors deserve further excavation, as it will be possible to gain insight into the development of a rural community located along the route of the main roads leading from Salona, the main city of the province of Dalmatia, towards the interior. This fact, along with highly suitable natural conditions for successful agricultural cultivation, offered possibilities of great prosperity to this settlement, for which we now have confirmation that it existed in the period from the 4th – 6th centuries, although an earlier date can also be expected. As the site at which the grave vaults and settlement complex were discovered is called Crkvina ("Church"), traces of early Christian structures can be expected in further investigations.

Liber, božanstvo plodnosti, cikličkih izmjena u prirodi, vinove loze i slobode, zauzima vrlo značajno mjesto u religijskom životu stanovništva provincije Dalmacije. Izvorno je staroitalski bog, u čiju se čast šesnaestog dana prije aprilskih Kalenda održavala svetkovina zvana Liberalija. Liber, italski bog, na područje provincije Dalmacije dolazi s prvim italskim kolonistima i trgovcima u kasnorepublikansko doba i već je asimiliran s Dionizom, pa je božanstvo vina, vinove loze i slobode. U to vrijeme jedan od dvojice naronitanskih kvestora, Publije Anej Epikad podiže mu svetište u Naroni. Čitav niz arheoloških nalaza svjedoči nam o velikoj popularnosti njegova kulta na prostoru nekadašnje rimske provincije Dalmacije: žrtvenici, arhitektonski ulomci svetišta, skulpture (reljefi, monumentalna plastika i brončane figurice), kao i rijetki nalazi ; ulomak kratera s votivnim natpisom u čast boga Libera, te noga stola izvedena u liku boga. Nalazimo ga na području rimske Liburnije (Albona, Apsorus, Senia, Corinium, Nedinum, Iader, Asseria, Varvaria, Burnum, Scardona) ; na obalnom djelu srednje i južne Dalmacije (Rider, Tragurium, Epetium, Oneum, Brattia, Corcyra Nigra, Pharos, Aeqvum, Narona, Bigeste). U glavnom gradu provincije Dalmacije, u Saloni, evidentirano je 13 Liberovih spomenika, što je ujedno i najveći broj svjedočanstava na Jadranu. S područja BiH ističu se spomenici iz Orašja kod Rotimlja, Duvna (Delminium), Vašarovina (Pelva), Šumnjaka kod Glamoča (Salvium), Zenice, Bihaća (Raetinium), Briševa kod Ljubije, Rogatice (Col. Ris… ), Skelana, Užica, Požege kod Čačka (Malvesiatium) i Ustikoline kod Foče (Mun. S… ?). S područja Crne Gore potječe jedan žrtvenik iz Dokleje. Navedeni spomenici donose nam različito imenovanje Libera: Leiber Patrus, Liber Pater (64% natpisa), Liber (8% natpisa), Liber Pater Augustus (4% natpisa) i Liber Augustus (4% natpisa). U Škripu na otoku Braču i u Žrnovu na Korčuli Liber kao bog prešanja, zaštitnik usjeva, vinove loze i vina, dobiva epitet Torclensis (Liber Pater Torclensis, Liber Magnus Pater Torclensis). Epitet dolazi iz vulgarnolatinskog oblika pridjeva torculensis, koji je izveden od imenice torculum, što znači tijesak za cijeđenje vina ili ulja. Na reljefu iz Salone Liber se naziva Deus Laetus, a na žrtveniku iz Briševa kod Ljubije Deus Liber. Na području Salone organizirano udruženje Liberovih vjernika slavi božanstvo kao Deus Magnus Conservator loci. U Rogatici Liber se naziva Liber Bacchus, a na području municipija Malvesiatium Liber Pater Capedunensi. Unatoč velikom broju potvrda o štovanju njegova kulta na području provincije Dalmacije, pouzdano se zna samo za nekoliko Liberovih svetišta. Njihovi građevinski ostatci arheološkim istraživanjima još nisu kod nas potvrđeni, no zato nas epigrafski spomenici upućuju na mjesta njihova postojanja. Tako na temelju teksta donesenog na votivnim pločama, arhitektonskim gredama i žrtvenicima saznajemo kako su na području Senije, Biograda na moru, Polača na Mljetu, Salone, Narone i Bigesta bila izgrađena Liberova svetišta. Uz boga Libera pojavljuje se i njegov ženski pandan, božica Libera. Njezin reljef poznat je iz Zavale na Hvaru. Interesantno je da su nalazi njezina kulta u provinciji Dalmaciji vrlo rijetki. Poznat je svega još jedan žrtvenik iz Pritoke kod Bihaća. Jedna od bitnih značajki religije carskog razdoblja je zbližavanje različitih kultova, tj. religijski sinkretizam. U Rogatici pronađen je dvostruki žrtvenik posvećen Liberu Bakhu i Jupiteru. Iz Ustikoline u istočnoj Bosni potječe žrtvenik posvećen Terminu, Liberu Ocu i Jupiteru. Potvrdu kultne zajednice Libera i Tera Mater nalazimo u Briševu kod Ljubije. Liber se javlja i u kultnoj zajednici sa Silvanom, što nam potvrđuju žrtvenici iz Jadera, Galovca, reljef iz Karakašice i Ričica kod Imotskog. Liberove su svečanosti, kada je riječ o agrarnom vidu Liberova kulta, bile vesele i pune razuzdane radosti. U njima su kao i u bakhanalijama, veliko mjesto zauzimali opijanje i jedenje, slavljenje i uživanje, što je bilo uzrokovano činjenicom da je njihov bog Liber bio poglavito bog vina i zabave, pa ih time na neki način možemo usporediti sa svečanostima održavanim u čast boga Dioniza. Jesu li i one imale misterijski karakter poput bakhanalija, možemo samo pretpostaviti, ali činjenice da se u gradu Seniji u Liberovu svetištu obnavljaju stolice i ležaljke, da u Saloni Libera slave članovi organiziranog udruženja (convivium), da su u božanstvu iz Škripa na otoku Braču, Vašarovina i Šumnjaka kod Glamoča ujedinjene karakteristike grčkog Dioniza i rimskog Libera, upućuju nas na zaključak da su se u pojedinim gradovima provincije Dalmacije u Liberovu čast vjerojatno održavali ritualni banketi i slavile svečanosti nalik na bakhanalije. Razmatrajući vrijeme podizanja spomenika, možemo reći kako je Liberov kult unesen u provinciju Dalmaciju preko bogatih italskih kolonista koji se doseljavaju na područje grada Narone već u kasnorepublikanskom razdoblju, sredinom 1. st. pr. Kr., te je bio podjednako omiljen u razdoblju ranog i kasnog Principata (rani Principat = 27 spomenika ; kasni Principat = 25 spomenika). Najkasniji Liberovi spomenici potječu iz sredine 3. st., pa možemo reći kako od tada započinje period opadanja kulta, a legaliziranjem kršćanske religije u 4. i 5. st. i njegov konačni prekid.

U radu se analizira nekoliko primjera s područja provincije Dalmacije koji nam govore o proizvodnji i trgovini vinom i maslinovim uljem na tom području. U drugoj polovici 1. st. pr. Kr. familija Papii spadala je među vodeće poduzetnike naronitanskog područja. Na čuvenom kamenom spomeniku pronađenom u Tasovčićima ostalo je zabilježeno da dva člana te obitelji, M. Papius Kanus i njegov brat C. Papius Celso podižu spomenik u čast Oktavijanove pobjede nad Sekstom Pompejem 36. pr. Kr. na Siciliji.Vjerojatno su oni upravo zbog svojih zasluga u toj bitci dobili na dar zemljište u okolici Narone, u Tasovčićima, te su ovdje proizvodili značajne količine vina, a vjerojatno i maslinovog ulja, i to ne samo za vlastite potrebe već i za šire lokalno tržište. U isto to vrijeme, u 1. st. pr. Kr., na području Ise u proizvodnji vina isticala se italska familija Pontii. Većina krupnih zemljoposjednika nije se direktno uključivala u prodaju svojih proizvoda, već su to prepuštali specijaliziranim trgovcima za vino i maslinu (negotiator vinarius, negotiator olearius.) Negotiatores su bili trgovci koji su se angažirali u prekomorskoj trgovini, bolje su poznavali šire tržište, njegove zahtjeve i potrebe, te su bili povezani s drugim trgovcima i njihovim udrugama. Na natpisu iz Salone (Vranjic), koji potječe iz razdoblja ranog Principata spominje se trgovac vina, negotiator vinarius, C. Valerius Restitutus i njegov istoimeni sin C. Valerius Restitutus. Drugi važan proizvod istočne jadranske obale bilo je maslinovo ulje. Naročito je bilo cijenjeno liburnsko ulje (oleum Liburnicum) zbog specifičnog okusa i mirisa. Trgovac uljem, negotiator olearius, zabilježen je na spomeniku iz Jadera.

Tijekom prvih sustavnih arheoloških istraživanja Aserije izvršenih početkom 20. st. pronađen je ulomak kratera s votivnim natpisom i reljefom dionizijskog karaktera, te s ručkom oblikovanom u obliku pantere. Na obodu posude izveden je votivni natpis: [Libero patri Pro]cul (us) vo[tum solvit libens merito] koji nam govori da je riječ o zavjetnom daru bogu Liberu izvršenom od strane izvjesnog Prokula. Nadgrobni spomenik iz Aserije donosi spomen jednog člana obitelji Iulius s kognomenom Proculus, L. Iulius Proculus. Nosioci toga gentilicija bili su u Aseriji autohtona podrijetla i pripadali su vrhu lokalne aristokracije. Pretpostavimo li da je Prokul s kratera pripadao spomenutom gensu Iulius, važnost posude još je veća, jer upućuje na interes domaæega liburnskog stanovništva za tako rijetkim ritualnim predmetima namijenjenima štovanju Liberova kulta. Treba naglasiti da s područja Aserije potječe i jedan Liberov žrtvenik, koji podiže Iulia Firmilla, što upravo dokazuje da su članovi gensa Iulius bili upućeni u Liberov kult i štovali su ga na različite načine, podižući mu zavjetne žrtvenike, a možda mu i posvećujući ovu posudu. [...], The first systematic excavations of Asseria were carried out at the beginning of the 20th century by the Austrian Archaeological Institute. A fragment of a stone votive vessel was found near a profiled base located within a small sacral structure on the forum of Asseria, to the northwest of the church of the Holy Spirit. This was a fragment of a krater with an inscription on the rim, the preserved fragment with five letters: [——-]CVL. VO[——-]. The walls of the vessel bear depictions of initiates into the mysteries, with grape vines with leaves and bunches of grapes depicted between these human figures. The upper row between the third and fourth figure (from the right side of the panther) has a depiction of attributes of Dionysus (Liber), a staff wrapped in grape vines, with a terminal in the shape of a pine-cone – thyrsus. The handle of the vessel was made in the shape of a beast of prey in full relief. This was an image of a panther in profile with the head turned towards the rim of the vessel. The vessel was made of limestone. The greatest preserved dimensions of the fragment were: 27 cm in height, 31 cm in length, with wall width of around 3 cm. On the basis of these dimensions the reconstructed diameter of the vessel would measure 42 cm. [...]

This article reflects on the tensions and dilemmas inherent to engaged teaching and research practices. We build on a multiple-case study to explore their potential as catalysts for change at individual, group and institutional levels. The cases were documented as part of a strategic project that ran for 4 years (2018-2021) at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The project aimed at better aligning the university’s offerings with both needs and opportunities of its urban surroundings. We adopted a mixed-method approach to scrutinize the experiences of the participants in the activities under study (lecturers, students and partners). Our dataset draws on direct observations, document analysis, surveys and reflective dialogues. The paper is organized in four parts. In the first section we will conceptualize engaged teaching and research practices as ‘boundary work’ building on Engeström’s Activity Theory. Second, will we define four types of dilemmas investigated in this study: conceptual, cultural, political and pedagogical. Third, we will illustrate occurrences of change resulting from activity-system contradictions, drawing on a tool we developed earlier: the engagement CUBE. We close the paper with a series of reflective questions that might support academics in further developing their practices of engagement.

Code Club PMF is a programming school for children aged 7 to 13, founded as an informal initiative at the Faculty of Science, University in Split, as a part of a large international Code Club community. Since spring 2018, more than 70 in-class workshops were held, and several activities were continued in the online environment during the pandemic. The children learned the basics of programming through various activities such as game development and microcontroller programming in visual programming languages. The club is run by volunteers, a university instructor and an IT professional, along with a number of students from the Faculty of Science who share great enthusiasm and passion for teaching. Almost all activities were conducted without additional financial support and were completely free of charge for the participants. In addition to the regular activities, Code Club PMF was involved in many science popularization events, such as Bebras Challenge, Science Festival, Evening of Mathematics, and a humanitarian event to support the victims of the 2020 earthquake in Croatia. In this paper, we introduce the initiative and describe the examples of best practices. The insights and lessons learned from the Code Club PMF experience can serve as useful guidelines for other community engaged learning initiatives.
