This paper addresses the changes in the number of primary school students in school areas of the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. It thereby tackles demography in general and school demography in particular. The author has studied the subject in the context of demographic changes in the Republic of Croatia, and proved that since the early 1960s, there has been a continuous decrease in natural population growth as a consequence of a decreasing birth rate, negative migration rate, and changes in the population structure reflected in a decrease in the young population against an increase in the old population. The war aggression on Croatia (1991–1995) has led to a decrease in the total population number. The author concluded that negative general trends were occurring in all parts of the country (in the counties), causing a decrease in the number of primary school students. On a sample of 26 regular primary schools in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County, the author has studied changes in the number of students between schoolyears 1969-70 and 2018-19, with a particular emphasis on changes in the five school areas. Research results have shown that the number of inhabitants had been reduced by 47,835 (28.6%) between the censuses of 1961 and 2011, which led to a decrease in the number of primary school students by 10,323 (54.9%) in the schoolyear 2018-19 in comparison with the schoolyear 1969-70. General changes related to the population on the whole, as well as the total number of school students, have caused changes – or rather a decrease – in the number of students in all school areas. In the Grubišno Polje school area, the most significant decrease in the number of students in the studied period was recorded – 72.7%. The figures in other school areas are as follows: Daruvar 66.1%; Garešnica 58.1%; Čazma 53.7%; Bjelovar 40.8%. Based on the entrance (number of first-grade students) and the exit (number of eighth-grade students) figures, it has been estimated that the process of the decrease in the number of students will in the forthcoming decade continue – both at the county level and at the level of the five studied school areas.

Based on the empirical research (interviews) conducted in Bjelovar in 2017, the paper analyzes the standpoints of the Albanians in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County on their settlement and integration in both local community and Croatian society, as well as on the forms and success thereof. In the last three censuses conducted in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County (in 1991, 2001, and 2011), the share of the Albanians ranged between 0.4% and 0.6% in the total county population, their number having amounted to 608 (in 1991), 755 (in 2001), and 743 (in 2011). In the new and different socio-political and cultural environment, migrants mainly form minority populations, whereby their national identity is tested in various ways. As the Albanians are concerned, there exist certain specificities, which, despite making the integration in local communities complicated, have contributed to the cohesion within the group and the preservation of national identity. The strongest hinderances to assimilation are – in their case – primarily linguistic diversity, and secondly a set of traditional values and patriarchal patterns; together, they have led to a larger-scale closeness of this national community in relation to the majority of other communities of this kind. The objective of the conducted empirical research (semi-structured interviews) was to determine the standpoints of the members of Albanian national minority in the county, awareness of their national identity, problems of integration in the local community (and Croatian society), and their high level of organization with the aim of preventing assimilation and preserving their national specificities. Eight respondents – members of male population between 34 and 68 years of age – have been interviewed. The respondents were born in the following towns/settlements: Prizren, Đakovica, and Bobovac (Kosovo), and Pakrac (Croatia); whereas their places of residence are as follows: Drljanovac, Bjelovar, Velika Pisanica, and Predavac (in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County). The responds have shown that the Albanians have to the most part been successfully integrated in their places of residence and the economic segment of the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. Their settlement in Croatia has mostly been due to socio-economic reasons, with the aim of finding employment and advancing their own existence in comparison with the life they had had in their previous places of residence. The Albanians usually arrive in Croatia individually or as close families; this eventually results in chain migration – i.e. gradual arrival of members of wider families. The integration of the Albanians in the society has been made easier thanks to several specific professions they have mastered, such as bakers, pastry cooks and goldsmiths. The Albanians are in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County involved in both the cultural and the political spheres; a further major factor in preserving their national identity is education, manifested in this county by using the C model in the education of students – members of their national minority.

The Talovac nobility belonged in the 15th century to the circle of the most powerful noble families in Croatian-Hungarian Kingdom. Due to their extreme wealth, which they thanked to the profit collected from numerous estates across the territory of present Croatia, Slavonia and Austria; the traditional family policy of loyalty to Croatian-Hungarian king Sigismund of Luxembourg and his successors to the throne; as well as to matrimonial bonds with distinguished central-European aristocratic families (Alsace; Levant), the Talovac nobility had –during the first three decades of the 15th century – risen from lower aristocracy of the end of the 14th century to one of the most powerful noble families in Croatian-Hungarian Kingdom.

The development and raster of Roman settlement with Iasic substratum, situated at the very important strategic position of the present Daruvar, which had reached municipal status, has due to lack of systematic archaeological research remained completely unknown. However, on the basis of random representative finds, it may be concluded that it consisted of three main parts: civic settlement on the slopes of the Stari Slavik hill, balneological part with a temple in the area of the present Julius’ park, and forum on the location of the present central square. Remains of Roman architecture – probably of a facility serving a military purpose, as well as remains of perimetral wall that encircled the entire settlement were for the first time recorded as a result of systematic archaeological research conducted by the Bjelovar Home Museum in the area around Jewish cemetery on the location of Stari Slavik. At least three building phases have been established, and certain geological analyses of immovable and movable finds have been conducted in order for their age and the origin of the building material to be determined.

Based on the archival material collected at the Archdiocesan Archives in Zagreb, the author analyzes the history of the Parish of the Holy Trinity in Daruvar in the period 1918–1929. This particular period has been carefully chosen, since by studying parish history, one may learn the social, economic and material situation of a particular area. In this case, the situation in question was the one in the period after World War One, the downfall of Austro-Hungary, and the formation of a new state. It was in the afterwar period that changes in the operation of the parish were introduced, and the damage caused by the war was restored. In addition to a survey of the history of the parish community, the paper offers information on other inhabitants, as well as on members of various religious communities residing in the parish area. The principal concerns of parish priest Mijo Ettinger were the influence of the political situation, cooperations and conflicts with institutions such as schools, and financial circumstances of the parishioners. In the end, the studied period was marked by the affair caused by an anonymous letter, in which the activities of the parish and the parish priest were criticized. The role of the parish priest, parish life in a multi-culture and multi-religion environment, the afterwar period, and new political circumstances may easily be followed by studying this particular parish in Daruvar. The life and operation of the parish presents an important part of the religious, cultural, as well as political history of Daruvar. The paper is based entirely on the correspondence between the parish priest and the Archdiocese of Zagreb.

This paper offers a review of the history of school system in the town of Grubišno Polje covering the time span from its earliest beginnings, which date back to the 19th century – the time of the Military Border, when the well-known poet Petar Preradović attented school, until the present. The research continues up to the period before World War One, when the first public Croatian school, where the first teacher was N. Kijurina, followed by V. Klemen, was opened. The development of education continued after World War One with the opening of the lower civic school, which corresponds to grades 5 to 8 of today’s primary school. Due to lack of historical evidence, from 1948 onwards, we only have records based on a book of memories of two citizens – Matija Čubelić and Jakob Novalić, which covers the period from the end of the 19th century to the schoolyear 1945-46, when a new mention of elementary school was made. After frequent changes of premises and turbulent war times, the new primary school – Bijela Labudica – was built in 1956. The development of secondary-school education in Grubišno Polje began in 1961-62 by the opening of a regional unit of the Daruvar Business School. Independent grammar school was founded in 1964. In the subsequent years, new professional schools were opened. This historical review may be concluded by a survey of the operation of the nursery school, which opened its doors in 1977. The research of the history of education in Grubišno Polje is based on historical evidence and archival materials of the local Ivan Nepomuk Jemeršić Primary School, Bartol Kašić Secondary School, and Tratinčica Nursery School.

Relevant steps forward have been taken in direction of understanding the functioning of the human brain and the learning process, particularly thanks to the possibility of conducting direct brain research by using state-of- the-art technologies(neuroimaging). Here are several relevant accomplishments achieved: understanding of neuroplasticity; understanding of crucial importance of the first three years in a child’s life (the first one in particular) for the establishment of the quality functioning of the brain; understanding of the importance of the surrounding (intrauterine, exterior physical, exterior social) for the development of executive brain functioning and prerequisites for school achievement. Furthermore, the importance of parental behaviour towards the child in forming the prerequisites for intelligent behaviour and school achievement was revealed, as well as as was the importance of economic, cultural and social capital of the family for the development of intellectual and social prerequisites for intellectual functioning and school achievement. The term neurodiversity was introduced to emphasize the need for the teaching process to be individually tailored. New terms, which will change the learning and teaching process to a considerable extent, have not been transferred from theory to practice yet. Their inclusion into pedagogical literature and educational programms for parents, educators and teachers should hence become imperative.

The author discusses the term of purpose on the basis of Aristotle’s philosophy,by studying the relationship of the cause (primarily the following relationship: causa materialis – causa formalis – causa finalis, since causa efficiens does not directly belong within the framework of this discussion) and the modality of being (potentia – actus). This research tackles not only the classic term of purpose, but also of the environment of being, in which purpose may be established and thought at all. Aristotle’s treatise De Anima (On the Soul) studies whether the discussion on the being of man belongs within the framework of the discussion on causes. Based on the classic term of purpose, the idea of purpose is differentiated from the idea of aims and planning. Following, it is questioned whether this purpose shares the same fundament with the very particular term of being. In this specific context, it is further, after studying Aristotle’s work, searched for the accompanying term of man as being in Plato’s understanding of man as Eros, and later in German tradition, in which man was considered subject-object (Kant, Herbart, Fichte, Hegel). These links reflect not only the accidental historiographic, but also the necessary theoretical and historical connection between classical Greek and German ways of thinking, and pedagogy as science. After establishing the link between purpose and man as being, the principles and basic (home – according to Herbart) pedagogical terms are tackled. First, the original sense of some of home pedagogical terms is searched for. Subsequently, it is studied whether home pedagogical terms (primarily educability, education, upbringing, and interest), as well as the internal logic of pedagogy, stand in accord with the original idea of purpose and man as being. Following the conducted mental research, it is endeavoured to define and list all that might form the original, self-legitimate, philosophical-pedagogical perspective of thinking and acting.

The paper presents features of monodisciplinary, polydisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in education, and the application thereof in adult education research. Differences in the presence of the monodisciplinary and the polydisciplinary approaches in the adult education theory (andragogy) of pedagogical origin, and the adult education theory based on educational sciences, are stressed. Furthermore, there exists a trend towards the interdisciplinary research of adult education, and the tendency for andragogy to synthesize the knowledge from other educational sciences in the adult education domain, representing the added scientific value thereof, thanks to which it may be considered a separate educational science. Implications of the scientific development of andragogy in relation to the adult education study are analyzed.

It is nowadays difficult to find any science or field of human activity that is, at least indirectly, not linked to the term of media. The media affect almost all the areas of the humanities and social sciences. The paper discusses the media theory developed by Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980), Canadian professor of English literature, who won recognition as one of the most prominent theoreticians of communications. His media theory has exercised an impact on all current theoreticians of media and philosophers, sociologists and mediologists, both in Croatia and worldwide. The author discusses certain elements of Marshall McLuhan’s theory, which teachers might find useful for developing a better understanding of the nature of media in their everyday work.

This article discusses whether Religious Education in public schools can legitimately promote the spiritual development of students, considering the predominantly educational orientation of religion teaching in public schools. The multifaceted concept of spirituality, which has occupied an important place in scientific research over the recent decades, and is also referred to as a spiritual turn in literature, is central to this issue. Since there has so far been very little pedagogical and religious pedagogical research devoted to this topic in Croatia, this paper presents the content-related and structural determinants of the spirituality concept in contemporary Christian theology, and the development of spirituality concept(s) in other sciences. Their points of contact, critical aspects and potential for dialogue are shown. Given that not only Religious Education, but also school as a whole, includes the educational dimension, this involves promoting the spiritual development of students. Spirituality in the broader philosophical and anthropological sense signifies the connection between human beings and their inner selves, their relationship with others, with the created world, as well as with the transcendental, emphasizing thereby the dimension of the meaning, the purpose, and the integration of life. This concept of spirituality is also compatible with the Christian-theological concept. The theological concept integrates the anthropological one by giving it a new meaning, based on Christian faith in the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. Religious Education that promotes transformative learning mediates the contents of Christian faith that can help students in their formation. This is essentially about learning through and from religion, which is acceptable to all students.

The author tackles changes in the concept of the lifelong learning of teachers that have taken place by introducing international projects in schools, starting with the EU lifelong learning programme (2007–2013), and continuing with the Erasmus+ programme (2014–2020). She presents some of the recommendations for improved implementation of Erasmus+, with an emphasis on lifelong learning. By the means of quantitative research, the author studies the views of teachers regarding lifelong learning and specialization. She compares the research results taking into consideration participation in at least one international project, singling thereby out the sample of respondents from the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. Based on the conducted research, the author presents the current possibilities for teacher specialization, indicating thereby to the most frequent form thereof, and reaches her final conclusion regarding the impact of international projects on the lifelong learning and specialization of teachers.

The subject of this paper was to analyze the knowledge and intentions of students of two different secondary nursing schools regarding breastfeeding. The respondents were 135 students between 17 and 19 years of age (30 male and 105 female students). 50 respondents are from Pakrac and the others from Bjelovar. A questionnaire method was used to find out about the students’ intentions and knowledge regarding breastfeeding in general. The questionnaire included several sociodemographic questions, 8 questions related to their intentions to breastfeed, and 15 questions related to their knowledge about breastfeeding. The Mann-Whitney test and the chi-squared test were used to compare the differences in the results. The students of the Secondary school in Pakrac had poorer results in questions related to their intentions to breastfeed in public places (p=0.04), but significantly better results regarding their intentions to breastfeed their children after their first year (p=0.01). Considering the breastfeeding knowledge questions, the students from Bjelovar showed better knowledge about concentration of iron in mother’s milk (p=0.027), but poorer knowledge considering breastfeeding on demand (p=0.002), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.000), the need to start an education on breastfeeding before pregnancy (p=0.007), and the need to add formula milk to mother’s milk (p=0.037). The results of the study confirmed that students of the two secondary nursing schools have significantly different answers both in questions that concern breastfeeding knowledge and in questions related to intentions regarding breastfeeding.

Introduction: In the recent years, health education has been one of the most pressing topics in the field of education. It was introduced in primary and secondary schools in 2012 through four modules: Healthy Living; Prevention of Addiction; Prevention of Violent Behaviour; Gender Equality and Responsible Sexual Behaviour. Subjects and Methods: By carrying out a specially constructed anonymous questionnaire, attitudes and satisfaction of secondary-school students regarding the introduction of health education have been examined. The research was conducted following the Ethics Committee’s approval of all schools and obtaining written approval from parents of students under the age of 18. Results: 304 (215 female and 89 male) students from Medical High School, Trade and Commercial School, Tourism and Hospitality School, and Bjelovar Grammar School participated in the study. The average age of the students is 17.02 years. Most students have very good school achievement. The majority of them (268) live with their parents (94.1%), while approximately equal numbers live in urban and rural areas. Parents mostly have a high school degree. On Likert’s scale 1-5, they have rated the need for introducing health education to schools with 3.73; while the module itself has been rated with 3.76. The module Healthy Living has been rated with 3.68; Prevention of Violent Behaviour with 3.68; Prevention of Addiction with 3.73; and Gender Equality and Responsible Sexual Behaviour with 3.77. They generally agree that the topics should be taught by health care professionals (3.57). The students have rated the need for introducing health education in schools with 2.45; however, the need for it becoming a graded subject has been rated with 1.75. Conclusion: Health education is an important factor in preventing risky behaviour among young people, as well as in developing attitudes and a healthy lifestyle. The introduction and content thereof have been rather well rated, yet students do not want any additional workload in the form of a school subject and grading.

Prošle 2017. godine bjelovarskoj i široj hrvatskoj javnosti predstavljena je voluminozna knjiga (rezultat desetogodišnjeg napora) pod naslovom „Mirisi iscrpljena vala“ na 830 stranica, u kojoj je, kako nam to podnaslov objašnjava, prikazan književni i kulturni život šireg bjelovarskog prostora u 20. stoljeću. Autor toga djela je bjelovarski književnik, književni povjesničar i kulturni djelatnik Ilija Pejić (Pećnik, 1956.), itekako poznat bjelovarskoj i široj hrvatskoj javnosti kao marljivi proučavatelj različitih aspekata kulturnog života bjelovarsko-bilogorskog prostora, ponajprije povijesti knjižničarstva te povijesti književnosti. Knjiga je podijeljena u šest poglavlja kronološkim redom i to na način da svako poglavlje započinje iscrpnim uvodom, slijedi rekonstrukcija kulturnog života s naglaskom na književnosti, ali i s interesom za kazalište, likovnost, glazbu i glazbena društva, film te novinsku i izdavačku djelatnost „u gradu Bjelovaru, ali i u drugim mjestima koju su mu gravitirala (Đurđevac, Virje) ili mu gravitiraju i danas (Čazma, Grubišno Polje, Daruvar, Garešnica…).“ Djelom dominira očito književno-povijesni pristup. Skoro svako poglavlje počinje opisom općih društvenih, političkih i kulturnih zbivanja u određenom razdoblju, da bi zatim slijedilo predstavljanje i pozicioniranje pojedinih književnika ili književnih krugova i kulturnih djelatnika toga doba.

Vilko Niče (Grubišno Polje, 1902. − 1987., Zagreb) najveći je geometričar-sintetičar 20. stoljeća u Hrvatskoj, ali i na području bivše SFRJ. Njegova biografija i bibliografija zainteresiranima je dostupna u pisanom i elektroničkom obliku te se ovdje ne navodi. U prvom dijelu članka dane su osnovne smjernice i upute o dostupnosti članaka o Ničeu kao osobi, ali i o dostupnosti njegovih znanstvenih radova i autorskih knjiga. Nadalje, članak se bavi subjektivnim impresijama o Ničeu kao znanstveniku, pedagogu, prijatelju, gospodinu. Sve svoje znanstvene radove Niče je obrađivao jedinstvenom, sintetičkom metodom i u tome ga još nitko nije nadmašio. S obzirom na metodu istraživanja, imao je mnogo sljedbenika u bivšoj državi, koje zovemo ničeovcima. U drugom i trećem teoremu, u drugom dijelu ovoga članka, najbolje se ilustrira Ničeova metoda u geometriji. Steinerova deltoida jedna je od najčešće obrađivanih ravninskih krivulja u geometriji. U ovom se članku sintetičkom i konstruktivnom metodom do nje dolazi na posve originalan način preko leptirovih teorema, koji se dovode u vezu s krivuljom središta u pramenu konika. Dokazuje se da je krivulja središta u pramenu ortogonalnih hiperbola kružnica te da sve asimptote tih hiperbola opisuju deltoidu.

Akademik Anton Švajger, liječnik, od dolaska u Zavod za histologiju i embriologiju Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu pa sve do odlaska u mirovinu u svojoj znanstvenoj problematici prvenstveno se posvetio proučavanju temeljnih zakonitosti ranog razvoja sisavaca. Posebnu pažnju posvetio je proučavanju uloge zametnih listića u ranoj embriogenezi. U okviru svoje znanstvene djelatnosti primjenjivao je mnoge dostupne znanstvene tehnike i metode od klasične deskriptivne histomorfološke analize i elektronske mikroskopije do histokemije i imunokemije. Dr. A. Švajger posebno se isticao na području eksperimentalne razvojne biologije vlastitom razrađenom metodom izolacije i mikromanipulacije te transplantacije ranih razvojnih stadija zametaka sisavaca na razini zametnih listića i njihovom eksplantacijom u in vivo i in vitro uvjete.

U radu donosimo portret bjelovarskog tiskara, nakladnika i knjižara Lavoslava Weissa, koji je u Bjelovaru živio i radio 1903. – 1918. To je vrijeme demokratizacije i modernizacije grada te jačanja građanskog staleža, što je usko povezano s većom potrebom za knjigama, časopisima, novinama i općenito tiskanim publikacijama. U radu pokazujemo da je Weiss znao odgovoriti na te potrebe i da je imao iznimno važnu ulogu u kulturnom, društvenom, gospodarskom i političkom životu grada.

Autor u radu donosi podatke o vjerskim prijelazima s pravoslavne na grkokatoličku i rimokatoličku vjeru na području Bjelovarskog dekanata. Nakon uvodnih napomena o odnosu Kraljevine Jugoslavije i Srpske pravoslavne crkve prema Rimokatoličkoj crkvi, autor donosi podatke o stradanju Srba i prisilnom iseljavanju Srba s bjelovarskog područja 1941. godine. Središnji dio teksta posvećen je statističkim podatcima o vjerskim prijelazima s pravoslavne na rimokatoličku vjeru između 1941. i 1945. godine prikupljenim u Nadbiskupijskom arhivu u Zagrebu te primjerima takvih vjerskih prijelaza. Posebno poglavlje posvećeno je vjerskim prijelazima s pravoslavne na grkokatoličku vjeru. Ne postoje točni podatci o tome koliko je bilo vjerskih prijelaza, ali broj od 2.235 podnesenih molbi u korelaciji s brojem stanovnika pravoslavne vjere govori o brojnosti te pojave.

Higher level of information of the public and education of health workers, in addition to better and more effective outpatient and hospital care, as well as timely risk assessment and implementation of effective treatment and preventive measures, have resulted in continual reduction of mortality due to cardiovascular diseases in Croatia. A confirmation thereof offer Croatian data on the hospital treatment of and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases and acute myocardial infarction, in particular from the Bjelovar-Bilogora County, where high mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases has been present for years, while mortality due to acute myocardial infarction has been restrained and reduced to a level lower that Croatian average – as a result of an improved quality of treatment during the last decade. Available data from population registers prove that acute myocardial infarction continues to be a disease that represents a significant cause of death. It is indicated that even today, approximately 50 percent of patients die before they reach hospital. It is hence necessary to continue with performing all the existing activities that may effectively reduce the mortality due to cardiovascular diseases and acute myocardial infarction, as well as to approximate Croatian results with those from the developed countries of the European Union.

Medical science has signifi cantly improved regarding pain control issues, yet this improvement has not been accompanied by improvement regarding objective methods of pain measurement according to the principles of evidence-based medicine. Pain is a complex experience, which, except for sensor factors, includes the emotional ones as well. A prerequisite for adequate pain treatment is proper assessment of pain character and intensity. Orofacial neuropathic pain causes serious suffering in patients, while due to a number of reasons, treatment options are limited. The objective of the conducted research was to determine the level of recognition of neuropathic pain as a specific clinical entity. The qualitative features of pain are evaluated based on the Leeds Pain Scale (LANSS), and the quantitative features thereof on the basis of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results have shown that in the qualitative respect, neuropathic orofacial pain clearly differs from other types of pain. By using standardised questionnaires, pain may be quantifi ed and compared. It is wished for the research results to raise the awareness of the professional and academic public regarding chronic neuropathic pain as a devastating disease causing serious suffering in patients, and to serve as an impetus for further research. They should furthermore serve as help in harmonising treatment algorithms issued by expert societies, as well as guidelines for prescribing medications by the Croatian Health Insurance Fund.

The cultural life of members of Czech national minority in Croatia is very complex. It may be followed through diverse customs marking everyday life, as well as through the work of various cultural societies and institutions. Though researchers from the present Czech Republic have already recorded several aspects of cultural life, there is still a lack of surveys on the contribution of individual cultural societies to the nurturing of the cultural heritage of members of Czech national minority. This paper focuses on the operation of a part of rural youth that became not only a strong link to other cultural associations of members of Czech national minority, forming together with them a whole, but also the propagator and holder of Czech culture in the area of the present Bjelovar-Bilogora County. Organised independent work of members of rural youth commenced later, after they had gained useful experience in Czech besede (associations) under the patronage of senior generations. Since they were not satisfied with this type of relationship, and sometimes not even with the content of the work itself, young people decided to start their independent activity. The first such association, named Rural Junior Youth Society, was established in 1935 in Lipovac (Ljudevitino Selo) near Daruvar. Subsequently, further associations of the kind were established in the wider Daruvar area, in villages where the majority of the population were members of Czech national minority. In the period 1935–1941, in the wider Daruvar area, fifteen such associations were established; in 1940, they numbered 920 members, which made around 60 members per village. Though every association had a leadership of its own and was independent, they were all united within the common Rural Youth Association, which also had a common management led by Karlo Herot, teacher and chairperson, who was the chief initiator of establishing rural youth associations and the leading creator of their policies. These youth associations were the moving force of the cultural life and work in their midst. It was possible to follow their operation until the outbreak of World War Two in 1941.

The Bjelovar Subdepression is geologically very well defined area where are discovered proven hydrocarbon reserves. However, there are assumed as well potential hydrocarbon and geothermal reserves. Here is firstly given review of forming and application of fossil fuels and geothermal energy. It is followed by review of lithologies, depths and distributions of unconventional and geothermal reservoirs in subdepression parts where they are explored and assumed. Geothermal reservoir is studied in Mesozoic carbonates and Karpatian to Badenian coarse grained clastics in Velika Ciglena Syncline. It is the largest single structure in Velika Ciglena Syncline, where is proven geothermal water at depth more than 2500 m. However, it still is not proven and used for electricity of thermal applications. Unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs are also assumed in the same area, i.e. in Upper Badenian, Sarmatian and Lower Pannonian sediments in the thermal mature phase. Also, such unconventional reservoirs, especially of gas, could be proven at subdepression margin, in the Bilogora Zone, in structures where conventional reservoirs are not proven (Cremušina, Gakovo), but are registered oil and gas shows in weakly permeable Upper Miocene sandstones.

As a multidisciplinary analysis, the study endeavours to holistically reconstruct life conditions on representative mediaeval archaeological localities in northwest Croatia. Historical indicators speak in favour of the fact that life had initially been organised within the social and political frame of the central power impersonated in the king and the territorial organisation of the Hungarian Kingdom. The process during which the privileged classes had gained independence from the royal power created in the 13th century resulted in such a situation in which this new social, economic and political elite took over public administrative and judicial functions, which further led to falling apart of the old county units of the royal administration and their becoming autonomous. In the new system, towns started playing an increasingly major role, and their importance was additionally reflected in the development of economy as a further factor relevant for the quality of life of the then contemporary population. This inevitably led to the process of introducing into the country money, which became the principal means of payment regarding taxes that had until then been paid in nature. The paleopathological picture of the population of that time, observed through registered dental hypoplasia and cribra orbitalia, generally speaks of malnutrition, presence of certain diseases, etc., yet due to circumstances that may not be connected to the ones present on other localities in the same period. As a result of the development of socio-political and economic relationships in the period between the 14th and the 16th centuries, the factors influencing the quality of life of the population became increasingly universal, and essential differences between the life of people in northwest Croatia and other parts of Croatia ceased to exist. The paleopathological picture of the researched localities began increasingly reflecting individual problems of individuals, whilst the importance of the problems of communities decreased, except in extreme cases of global stress situations, such as famine in broader areas caused by either natural or war disasters. The 14th and the 15th centuries were marked by the development of socio-political relationships, the centralisation of the administrative pyramid on the top of which stood the ruler, and economic relationships primarily subordinated to the accumulation of capital into the royal treasury; agriculture as an economic factor also stood in the service of such organisation. The analysed archaeological material witnesses to the fact that culturological processes may not be connected with the socio-political circumstances of a certain moment; they should rather be regarded as a product of diverse influences, regardless of their territorial and temporal origin (east or west of Europe, periods preceding or following the movement of peoples, etc.), which primarily served the functionality and additionally perhaps also the economic status of an individual user. This conclusion excludes only money as an equivalent of political and economic factors closely linked to statehood, or rather the personalisation of the ruler.

Tourism has become the most widespread phenomenon in international relations: offering new destinations and new forms of arrangements, looking for new forms of organization, resources and strategies. Modern tourists are seeking for new forms of tourism, which have a compensatory effect in relation to the dynamic pace of modern living. Safety, health, environment and culture are considered to be factors that underlie modern tourist flows. With ghettoization and alternative tourism, the latest modern tourism trends are focused on the ecological approach to tourism, which is the most multiple appropriate perspective. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has developed an effective technology development of sustainability indicators at the level of tourism destinations, which helps the planning and evaluation of all aspects of sustainable tourism at different large spatial units.

Odmah nakon početka rada Zavoda u rujnu 2006., a nešto više od godine dana nakon što je 9. svibnja 2005. potpisan Ugovor o osnivanju Zavoda za znanstvenoistraživački i umjetnički rad Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti u Bjelovaru između Akademije i Grada Bjelovara te Bjelovarsko-bilogorske županije, kao osnivača, Zavod je započeo s nakladničkom djelatnosti. Prvo je 2007. tiskan prvi broj časopisa Radovi Zavoda za znanstvenoistraživački i umjetnički rad u Bjelovaru. U razdoblju 2007. – 2015. godine, koje ćemo analizirati, objavljeno je osam brojeva. Časopis Radovi izlazi redovito jednom godišnje zahvaljujući, prije svega, činjenici da se u njemu objavljuju izlaganja sa skupova koje organizira Zavod svake godine. Zavod je, isto tako, 2011. godine utemeljio ediciju Posebna izdanja Zavoda za znanstvenoistraživački i umjetnički rad u Bjelovaru i u njoj je do 2015. objavljeno pet knjiga. Osim toga, Zavod je objavio šest knjiga sažetaka sa skupova, dva kataloga izložbi i četiri pregleda rezultatā rada pod nazivom Dani otvorenih vrata HAZU (2006. – 2014.).

Ostvarujući Plan rada za 2014. godinu, Zavod za znanstvenoistraživački i umjetnički rad Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti u Bjelovaru organizirao je 26. rujna 2014. znanstveno-stručni skup pod nazivom Bjelovar i Bjelovarsko-bilogorska županija u Domovinskom ratu. Održavanje znanstveno-stručnog skupa na navedenu temu inicirao je Grad Bjelovar, jedan od osnivača Zavoda u Bjelovaru. Stoga je skup održan kao važan dio programa obilježavanja Dana grada Bjelovara i Dana bjelovarskih branitelja. Znanstveno-stručni skup posvećen je najvažnijem događaju u suvremenoj hrvatskoj povijesti koji je izravno povezan s postankom Hrvatske kao samostalne i suverene države, ali koji je, nažalost, donio i brojne ljudske žrtve i materijalne gubitke. Autori izlaganja i priopćenja posebno opisuju vojne, policijske i društvene događaje u Bjelovaru i Bjelovarsko-bilogorskoj županiji tijekom Domovinskog rata. U skladu s tim cilj je skupa bio valoriziranje uloge i važnosti Grada Bjelovara i Bjelovarsko-bilogorske županije te njihova doprinosa uspjehu Domovinskog rata u cjelini. U 8. svesku časopisa Radovi objavljuje se 16 izlaganja (prvi dio) i 7 priopćenja (drugi dio) koja su uspješno prošla recenzentski postupak. Autori su razmatrali temu skupa s različitih aspekata, pa su radovi u časopisu, iz metodoloških razloga, prikazani u dva dijela, u prvom su izlaganja, a u drugom priopćenja.

This paper tackles the issue of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar–Bilogora County in the Homeland War 1990–1995. The Bjelovar area is inseparable from the western Slavonian region, with its specific demographic structure and a relatively large Serbian ethnic community. The majority of this community did not accept the new Croatian authority; when the time was right, they rose in rebellion. In 1990, Pakrac became the unlucky centre of the aggressive Serbian community, and the Bilogora and Papuk mountains offered very convenient conditions for organising and expanding Serbian mutiny. In the region, there was a considerable concentration of the Yugoslav National Army, especially in Bjelovar, Virovitica and Doljani garrisons. In the dramatic September of 1991, almost the whole of this potential was – with more or less resistance – transferred into Croatian hands, and they consequently played a major role in the War and the establishment of the Croatian Army. In the autumn of 1991, in a decisive defence action, Serbian forces were disabled in the attempt to sever Croatia on the Okučani–Virovitica stretch, which would have resulted in separating Slavonia from the mother country. This defence was of strategic importance, as well as were the liberation operations that followed since the end of October 1991; major areas were thereby restituted as parts of the legal system of the Republic of Croatia. In the period 1992–1995, the region had experienced the effects of the non-efficient mandate of the UN Peacekeeping Forces. The final solution was reached in 1995 on the battlefield, in the operations Bljesak (Flash) and Oluja (Storm); in both of which a part of the units of the Croatian Army and Police Forces from the Bjelovar–Bilogora County were strongly involved. The topic is presented based on the available documents and literature. Between the summer of 1990 and the end of 1992, no regional division was in force; however, Bjelovar was the centre of the Police Administration that had succeeded the earlier regional division of the communities of municipalities; since the autumn of 1991, it was also the Command of the Operational Zone Bjelovar. The author has taken into consideration this organisational aspect as well, as it is of significance for the understanding of the problem area on the whole.

The Special Police Task Force of the Police Administration Bjelovar – Omega – was formed on 23rd February 1991 as the first regional unit of the Special Police Forces in Croatia. It covered the territory between western Slavonia and Podravina. Its commanders were Miralem Alečković and Hamdija Mašinović, and during the War, Omega numbered 302 active and 418 reserve members. The unit carried out its first operation on 2nd March 1991 in Pakrac, and became thereby the first Croatian army unit that was to operate actively in the Homeland War. After a series of interventions in Pakrac, the defence of Glina followed, and the tragic ambush in Sirač, where two members were killed and seven wounded. The next was the tragedy in Kusonje, where the unit attempted to rescue the Bjelovar guardsmen. Battles for Daruvar and Doljani followed, as well as the freeing of Pakrac by breaking out through Kukuljevac. In September, the unit played the crucial role in overtaking the barracks of the Yugoslav National Army in Doljani and Bjelovar. Omega had continued its warpath on the Pakrac–Lipik stretch, where it had carried out as many as nine interventions until the end of 1991. The unit was further one of the crucial success factors in Otkos 10, the Bilogora liberation operation. Omega further participated in the liberation operations Papuk-91 and Alfa. During the Homeland War, six members of the unit were killed, while 43 were wounded.

Based on scarce archival material, press material and literature, the author attempts to present the organisation and operation of the Crisis Headquarters Bjelovar during 1991 and at the beginning of 1992 in wartime circumstances, during the armed conflict the Republic of Croatia was forced to fight against the units of the Yugoslav National Army and rebel Serbs. By the decision of the Crisis Headquarters of the Republic of Croatia, a number of crisis headquarters were formed throughout Croatia as a sort of hybrid bodies, the task of which was to harmonise military and civil efforts, as well as the logistic support, with the efforts of Croatian people aimed at liberating Croatia from the Great-Serbian aggression.

Soon after its establishing, the Serbian Democratic Party imposed itself as the key factor in the execution of the political, and later also armed goals of rebel Serbs. The paper shows that – according to the plans of rebel Serbs – the Municipality of Bjelovar, or at least parts thereof, should have become an integral part of the Serbian Autonomous Region Western Slavonia (Srpska Autonomna Oblast Western Slavonia). Croatian forces liberated the Bjelovar area in autumn 1991; nevertheless, after the enforcement of the Sarajevo Truce at the beginning of 1992, rebel Serbs, in particular those in western Slavonia, held that the Republic of Serbian Krajina (declared meanwhile) included parts of the area that rebel Serbs had failed to conquer, inter alia also parts of the Municipality of Bjelovar; hence, plans were developed regarding the expansion of the borders to this territory.

This paper intends to establish direct demographic losses suffered in the temporarily occupied area of the municipalities Daruvar and Grubišno Polje in 1991, based on the confiscated official documentation of rebel Croatian Serbs; this documentation is in safekeeping at the Croatian Memorial and Documentation Centre of the Homeland War in Zagreb. Special attention has in this regard been paid to the status of the killed individuals (members of the Yugoslav National Army; members of the Serbian paramilitary units; civilians); their date and place of birth, or residence; as well as the date, place and circumstances of their killing. Since the majority of the mentioned persons had been killed in Croatian liberation operations Otkos-10 and Papuk-91, the course of events during these operations was briefly analysed as well; additionally, the independence-gaining process in the Republic of Croatia, and the beginnings or development of Serbian mutiny in the area of the present Bjelovar–Bilogora County were reviewed in general. The research has, inter alia, proved that the majority of Serbian victims from the areas around Daruvar and – even more – Grubišno Polje, whose circumstances of death are known to us, were killed in close combat with members of Croatian units, in most cases as the result of shooting. It was further established that – in the same period – rebels had in this territory suffered far less human losses than their compatriots from the neighbouring western Slavonian municipalities (Pakrac, Novska and Nova Gradiška). This text should – as this topic is exceptionally interesting yet almost entirely unresearched – contribute to a better understanding of the extremely complex events, which had taken place during the war-struck 1991 in the territory of the municipalities Daruvar and Grubišno Polje.

The last census in the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia was conducted mid 1991, and the “critical moment” of establishing the state took place on 31st March 1991. The results of this census demonstrate the pre-war demographic features present within the transitional administrative and territorial division, which was confirmed by the later introduced, and partly changed, county organisation of the Republic of Croatia (in 1992). The period between censuses was marked by the aggression on the Republic of Croatia and the occupation of a part of its territory. The result thereof was a changed population structure, which became evident in the 2001 census data; this was the first post-war census conducted in Croatia. Further demographic oscillations occurred as a result of the operations by which – in the wider territory of north-western Croatia – the temporarily occupied parts thereof, primarily the Bilogora area, were liberated; due to the non-efficient international peacekeeping forces, preconditions for the continuance of the liberation of the occupied territory, which were realised in the 1995 operations, had been created. The objective of this paper is to present – based on the cartographic presentations drafted by using the Geographic Information System, as well as by the means of the cartographic visualisation methods and the statistical data analysis methods based on two censuses – the special arrangement and the interdependence between the demographic features of the population in the Bjelovar–Bilogora County and the Great-Serbian aggression together with the effects thereof on the demographic situation following the end of the Homeland War.

The Homeland War is the most important event in the recent Croatian history. The Republic of Croatia succeeded in gaining its independence and sovereignty, following, however, having suffered vast human and material losses. As nineteen years have passed since the end of the War, it is of major importance for us to learn from historical facts, so that we may avoid making mistakes in future. Young generations, who have, luckily enough, not been affected by the Homeland War, ought to become familiarised with the course, results and consequences thereof. Therefore, a poll-based research was carried out in order to evaluate the eighth-grade-student knowledge of the Homeland War before this topic was to be studied in history classes. The poll was conducted in two primary schools in the Bjelovar area. Poor knowledge was shown locally, which however does not exclude the possibility that the general state is the same in Croatia on the whole. The paper discusses natural factors that should result in gaining a better knowledge of the Homeland War: the meaning of the War and its consequences; wartime events in the Bjelovar area; active participation of the inhabitants of this area in battles, as well as in military and police operations during the War; and the wide-range availability of information via modern means of communication. The paper further discusses probable causes for the established poor knowledge – it is possible that family and close surroundings; school; social institutions and organisations; and popular culture have failed in this respect. It is evident that teaching school children of the Homeland War is at all levels inadequate – both quantitatively and qualitatively – and that positive activities that have positive results in this regard should be continually conducted throughout Croatia.

In the introductory part, the following world-known authors are mentioned as examples of diary keeping: Anna Frank, André Gide and Thomas Mann. The diaries by Croatian authors Dragojla Jarnević, a member of the Croatian Revival Movement, and Josip Pavičić from Bjelovar, are further mentioned. For the purposes of this study, an insight is offered into the diaries kept during World War One by Iso Kršnjavi, Ivo Vojnović and Miroslav Krleža, as well as the Imperial and Royal Varaždin Infantry Regiment no. 16, which was seated in Bjelovar. As testimonies from World War Two, diaries by Josip Horvat, Miroslav Krleža and Vladimir Dedijer, from all of which brief quotes are given, are of major importance. The Homeland War is the topic of the diaries kept by two Croatian writers – Antun Šimunić and Stjepan Tomaš from Osijek, while Martin Barić brings the writings kept by those who had been performing continuous attacks on Karlovac during a period of four years. For the Bjelovar–Bilogora County and its margin areas, wartime testimonies of significance may – partly in the diary form – be found in the books by Nikola Ivkanac and Stjepan Ivanić. A further particularly important diary is the one that was written by medical doctor Marica Topić Sinjaković. In this paper, the author brings the testimonies of the events in Bjelovar during the Homeland War, starting with the beginning of the attack on Bjelovar on Sunday, 29 September 1991, and the events that had followed during the following days. The testimonies rely on the book by Zoran Filipović – Dnevnik smrti 1991. (The Diary of Death 1991) and the author’s own book entitled Bjelovarski ratni tjedan – dnevnički zapisi 1991. (The Bjelovar War Week – The Diary of 1991). The author refers to three additional events not registered in his book. Finally, an excerpt from the diary kept by Anica Marić, a displaced person from Vukovar, in which she describes the stopping of the bus convoy from Vukovar in Bjelovar, as well as her experience that day in Bjelovar, is given.
