The characteristics of the wildlife fires in Zadar County in the period from 2016 to 2021
No full textCilj: analizirati šumske požari u Zadarskoj županiji u šestogodišnjem razdoblju (2016. -
2021) kako bi se sagledala brojnost, vrsta požara, razdoblje požarne sezone i odgovor na požar
(oprema, ljudstvo, vrsta vatrogasnog društva)
Materijali i metode: Prikupljeni su i uspoređeni podaci o požarima iz baze Javne vatrogasne
postrojbe Zadar iz sustava UVI za razdoblje 2016. do 2021. godine.
Rezultati: U 2017. godini je zabilježen najveći broj požara. Utjecaj klimatskih čimbenika za 2017.
bio je jedan od razloga koji su pogodovali značajnom broju intervencija. U sljedećim godinama
promatranog razdoblja, iako su klimatski uvjeti bili slični, rukovođenje i organizacija ljudstva u
Zadarskoj županiji su poboljšan te je zamijećen manji broj požara.
Zaključci: Zbog vremenskih uvjeta najveći broj šumskih požara se događa u mjesecu srpnju i
kolovozu. Postavljanje nadzornih kamera i formiranje novih protupožarnih putova može služiti
prevenciji u ranom otkrivanju požara. Dislociranje vatrogasnih snaga na potencijalno opasna
mjesta skratilo je vrijeme dolaska na požar.Objective: to analyze forest fires in Zadar County in five years (2016.-2021.) to assess the
number, type of fire, period of the fire season, and the response to the fire (equipment, personnel,
type of fire department).
Materials and methods: Data on fires from the Zadar Public Fire Department base on the UVI
system for 2016. to 2021. were collected and compared.
Results: In 2017., the largest number of fires was recorded. The impact of climate factors in 2017.
was one of the reasons that favored a significant number of interventions. In the following years of
the observed period, although the climatic conditions were similar, the management and
organization of the people in Zadar County improved, and fewer fires were observed.
Conclusions: Due to weather conditions, the largest number of forest fires occurs in the months of
July and August. The installation of surveillance cameras and the formation of new fire protection
routes can serve as prevention in the early detection of fires. The deployment of firefighting forces
to potentially dangerous places shortened the time of arrival at the fire
Legal aspects of domestic violence
No full textNasilje u obitelji izazov je zaštite ljudskih prava koji ostavlja duboke posljedice na samu
žrtvu takvog čina, ali i na obiteljsku zajednicu u cijelosti, bilo da se radi o partnerima, djeci,
starijim osobama ili rodbini. Pravni aspekti nasilja u obitelji temelj su reguliranja fenomena
obiteljskog nasilja na međunarodnom i nacionalnom području. Konvencije Vijeća Europe i
Ujedinjenih naroda pravni su okvir zaštite žrtava nasilja i djeluju na međunarodnoj razini,
dok na nacionalnom planu Republike Hrvatske postoji niz zakona i velika riznica primjera
sudske prakse Vrhovnog suda na koje se oslanja hrvatsko zakonodavstvo prilikom borbe
protiv nasilnog ponašanja u obitelji. U slijedećim poglavljima rada izložene su najbitnije
karakteristike samog pojma nasilja u obitelji, zatim koncepti i temeljna svrha postojećih
konvencija i zakona za zaštitu nasilja u obitelji, te je prikazano nekoliko primjera sudskih
odluka iz sudske prakse Vrhovnog suda da bi se stekao uvid u razloge kreiranja pravnih
izvora koji osuđuju svaki čin nasilja, a žrtvi pokušavaju pružiti što učinkovitiju zaštitu.Violence in the family is a challenge to the protection of human rights, which has profound consequences for the victim of such an act, but also for the family as a whole, whether it is partners, children, the elderly or relatives. The legal aspects of domestic violence are the basis for regulating the phenomenon of domestic violence at the international and national level. The conventions of the Council of Europe and the United Nations are the legal framework for the protection of victims of violence and operate at the international level, while on the national level of the Republic of Croatia there are a number of laws and a large treasury of examples of judicial practice of the Supreme Court on which Croatian legislation relies when fighting violent behavior in the family. In the following chapters of the work, the most important characteristics of the concept of domestic violence are presented, then the concepts and basic purpose of the existing conventions and laws for the protection of domestic violence, and several examples of court decisions from the judicial practice of the Supreme Court are presented in order to gain insight into the reasons for the creation of legal sources that condemn every act of violence, and try to provide the victim with the most effective protection possible
DOES BOARD GENDER DIVERSITY PLAY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN DETERMINING FIRM PERFORMANCE? THE CASE OF CROATIAN LARGEST MANUFACTURERS
No full textThe aim of this research is to analyse whether the board gender diversity plays vital part in explaining firm performance. The research is performed using static panel analysis using the sample of Croatian largest manufacturers that operated in the 2015 – 2019 period. In order to conduct such analysis several variables relating to board characteristics are employed in the research including proportion of women in the boardroom, dummy variable whether a female is present on the board, Blau index and size of the board. Furthermore, a set of firm-specific, industry oriented and macroeconomic variables are encompassed by the analysis as well comprising of size, liquidity, leverage, inventory management, capital intensity, market structure expressed with concentration ratio and GDP real growth rate. In order to obtain more robust results, three performance measures are introduced ROA, ROS and NPM. The findings reveal that size, liquidity, leverage, inventory management, capital intensity and concentration of the industry play an important role in determining firm profitability whereas we have not found support for greater gender diversity in the boardroom in terms of superior performance. Similar results are also provided with robustness check. The paper contributes to the scientific thought in a way that it adds to the scarce empirical evidence on gender diversity in manufacturing industry in general and particularly in Croatian context
Felony of aggravated murder
No full textKazneno djelo teškog ubojstva jedno je od najtežih kaznenih djela za koje zakonodavac predviđa najstrože kazne. Teško ubojstvo ima kvalifikatorna obilježja, odnosno definiraju ga otegotne okolnosti koje zakonodavac uređuje Kaznenim zakonom kojim postavlja okvir unutar kojeg djeluju pravosudna tijela koja postupaju prema počiniteljima kaznenih djela. Kaznenim djelom teškog ubojstva smatra se ubojstvo na okrutan ili podmukao način, ubojstvo osobe ranjive zbog njezine dobi, tjelesne ili duševne smetnje ili trudnoće, ubojstvo osobe koju je počinitelj već ranije zlostavljao, ubojstvo potaknuto niskim pobudama, ubojstvo radi počinjenja ili prikrivanja drugog kaznenog djela te ubojstvo službene osobe u vezi s njezinim obavljanjem službene dužnosti. Navedeni oblici kaznenog djela teškog ubojstva potkrijepljeni su primjerima iz sudske prakse temeljem kojih stječemo uvid u djelovanje pravosudnih tijela prema počiniteljima kaznenih djela teških ubojstava. Komparativnim prikazom zakonskih regulativa drugih država evidentno je da se kroz mnoge sličnosti i različitosti sa zakonskim regulativama Republike Hrvatske nastoji postići jednak učinak i smanjenje postotka teških ubojstva.The crime of aggravated murder is one of the most serious crimes for which the legislator provides the most severe punishments. Aggravated murder has qualifying features, ie it is defined by aggravating circumstances that the legislator regulates with the Criminal Code, which sets the framework within which judicial bodies that act against perpetrators of criminal acts operate. The criminal offense of aggravated murder is considered murder in a cruel or insidious manner, murder of a person vulnerable due to his or her age, physical or mental disability or pregnancy, murder of a person previously abused by the perpetrator, murder motivated by low motives, murder the killing of an official in connection with the performance of his official duties. These forms of the criminal offense of aggravated murder are supported by examples from court practice on the basis of which we gain insight into the actions of judicial bodies towards the perpetrators of the criminal offenses of aggravated murder. Comparing the legal regulations of other countries, it is evident that through many similarities and differences with the legal regulations of the Republic of Croatia, they are trying to achieve the same effect and reduce the percentage of aggravated murders
Femicide as the most extreme form of violence against women
No full textFemicid je najekstremniji oblik rodno uvjetovanog nasilja i definira se kao „ubojstvo žena jer su žene“. Drugim riječima, radi se o zločinu iz mržnje prema ženama, samo s obzirom na njihov spol. Riječ je o modelu koji obuhvaća ubojstvo žena kao rezultat nasilja, koje čine muškarci nad ženama, dok žene postaju žrtve jer ne ispunjavaju društveno nametnute rodne uloge. Nasilje muškaraca eskalira i dovodi do ubojstva žena te zbog toga femicid čini društvenim i javnim problemom koji zahtjeva višestruku društvenu reakciju u cilju njegovog uspješnog suzbijanja. U kaznenim zakonodavstvima, u većini zemalja femicid nije klasificiran kao posebno kazneno djelo, već se podvodi pod poseban oblik ubojstva. Samo nekoliko zemalja Latinske Amerike pravno priznaje femicid kao kazneno djelo. Iznijeti su temeljni zaključci o učestalom porastu nasilja nad ženama kao i težim pojavnim oblicima. Razni autori naglašavaju kako je potrebno poduzeti preventivne mjere i probudi svijest društva kako bi se riješilo nasilje nad ženama, a samim time i smrtni ishodi žena. Svrha ovog rada je utvrditi rasprostranjenost femicida i detaljnije opisati njegove karakteristike, uzroke i rasprostranjenost u današnjem društvu, te utvrditi kako njegova prisutnost utječe na društvo, politiku, dominantne društvene vrijednosti i kako se identificiraju motivi femicida.Femicide is the most extreme form of gender-based violence and is defined as "the killing of women because they are women". In other words, it is a hate crime against women, based only on their gender. It is a model that includes the murder of women as a result of violence, which is committed by men against women, while women become victims because they do not fulfill socially imposed gender roles. Men's violence escalates and leads to the murder of women, which makes femicide a social and public problem that requires multiple social reactions in order to successfully suppress it. In the criminal legislation, in most countries, femicide is not classified as a special crime, but is classified as a special form of murder. Only a few Latin American countries legally recognize femicide as a crime. Basic conclusions were presented about the frequent increase in violence against women as well as more serious forms. Various authors emphasize that it is necessary to take preventive measures and raise the awareness of society in order to solve violence against women and thus the fatal outcomes of women. The purpose of this paper is to determine the prevalence of femicide and to describe in more detail its characteristics, causes, and prevalence in today's society, and to determine how its presence affects society, politics, dominant social values, and how the motives of femicide are identified
The crime of murder in a cruel and insidious manner and incitement to commit in judical practice
No full textKroz Kazneni zakon Republike Hrvatske život i tijelo kao vrhovno dobro zaštićeni su
posebnom glavom u zakonu te se za takva kaznena djela, koja su označena kao najteže
povrede pravnih normi, propisuje i najveća kaznenopravna sankcija kao što je kazna zatvora u
trajanju od deset do četrdeset godina, a za djela počinjena u stjecaju i do pedeset godina. Iako
je svako ubojstvo kažnjivo, zakonodavac je prema okolnostima izvršenja, dobi žrtve, odnosno
stanja i mogućnosti žrtve za obranu, graduirao pojedine vrste ubojstva druge osobe. Tako je u
kaznenom djelu Teškog ubojstva posebno naglasio ono ubojstvo koje je počinjeno na okrutan
i podmukao način pa su te okolnosti nazvane kvalifikatorni oblici kaznenog djela ubojstva,
koji pojedinačno trebaju postojati da bi postojali svi bitni elementi kaznenog djela Teškog
ubojstva na okrutan i podmukao način. Kroz sudsku praksu jasno je navedeno o kakvim
bolima i načinu izvršenja se radi da bi se ostvarilo djelo teškog ubojstva na okrutan način.
Prilikom određenja kaznenog djela Teškog ubojstva na podmukao način zakonodavac je kroz
sudsku praksu apostrofirao hladnokrvnost počinitelja te njegove prethodne radnje pripreme
djela, iskorištavanja prethodno ostvarenog odnosa i zablude prouzročene povjerenjem.Through the criminal law of the Republic of Croatia, life and body as the supreme good are
protected by a special chapter in the law, and for such criminal offenses, which are marked as
the most serious violations of legal norms, the greatest criminal sanction is prescribed, such as
imprisonment for ten to forty years, and for acts committed in concurrence up to fifty years.
Although every murder is punishable, the legislator graduated certain types of murder of
another person according to the circumstances of execution, age of the victim, the condition
and possibilities of the victim for defense. Thus, in the criminal offense of Aggravated
Murder, he especially emphasized the murder committed in a cruel and insidious manner, and
these circumstances are called qualifying forms of the criminal offense of murder, which must
exist individually in order for all essential elements of the criminal offense of Aggravated
Murder to be committed. Therefore, the case law clearly states what kind of pain and manner
of execution should be done in order to commit aggravated murder in a cruel way, while in
determining the crime of aggravated murder in an insidious way, the legislator emphasized
the cold-bloodedness of the perpetrator and his previous actions. Preparation of deeds and
exploitation of previously established relationships and misconceptions caused by trust
Impact of audit quality on the financial performance of an audit firm
No full textCilj ovog istraživanja bilo je ispitivanje odnosa kvalitete revizije i financijske uspješnosti revizorskih društva na uzorku pravnih subjekata koji posluju u Republici Hrvatskoj. Pretpostavlja se postojanje veće potražnje za kvalitetnom revizijom financijskih izvještaja koja bi trebala biti popraćena i većom financijskom uspješnošću revizijskih društava koja ju mogu ostvariti. Pokazatelj kvalitete revizije je procijenjen pomoću vrijednosti prosječnih ukupnih obračunskih stavki. Uzorak istraživanja obuhvaća 49 revizorskih društava u razdoblju od 2017. do 2019. Prikupljeni podaci analizirali su se primjenom višestruke linearne regresije. Na temelju rezultata istraživanja može se zaključiti kako postoji statistički značajna povezanost između kvalitete revizije s financijskom uspješnošću revizorskog društva u određenim poslovnim godinama.The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between quality of audit and financial performance of audit firms on a sample of legal entities operating in the Republic of Croatia. A greater demand for a quality audit of financial statements is assumed, what should be accompanied with greater financial performance of audit firms which can achieve it. The audit quality indicator was estimated using the values of the average total accruals. The research sample includes 49 audit firms for the period from 2017 to 2019. The collected data are analyzed using multiple linear regression. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that there is a statistically significant correlation between the quality of the audit and the financial performance of the audit company for certain business years
Violations of the Right to Health due to Limited Access to Protection of Health during the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Republic of Croatia and Possible Legal Implications
No full textThe battle against the COVID-19 pandemic is still the most important problem and a great challenge for the overburdened health system in the Republic of Croatia. This paper examines the research into how violations of humans’ right to health occurred due to the inaccessibility to health protection for uninfected persons during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research implemented showed that a system of anti-epidemic measures which completely suspended or significantly reduced the possibility to access primary and hospital health care, stopped preventive programs of cancer detection. Much medical research has already revealed the possible harmful effects to people's health in the increase in cases of the contraction of and death from cancer and other serious illnesses, particularly in relation to certain vulnerable groups for example, women and oncology patients. The author concludes that the right to access protection of health during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Croatia was significantly limited and analyzes possible legal consequences which could occur due to the suspension or limitation to the right to access health care as a violation of the right to health

Prema nekim statističkim pokazateljima, broj korisnika mobilnih uređaja u 2018. godini popeo se na oko 4,5 milijarde aktivnih korisnika.28
Mobilni uređaji se, osim za direktnu komunikaciju, sve više i češće koriste i u druge svrhe.
Tehnološke mogućnosti mobilnih uređaja svakim danom se razvijaju, a samim time raste i količina informacija koje korisnik akumulira na uređaju tijekom perioda korištenja. Upravo te informacije predstavljaju vrata u svijet podataka koji u mobilnoj forenzici postaju ključni dokazi u rješavanju kaznenih djela.Mobile device forensics is a branch of digital forensics that deals with the extraction, decryption, analysis and presentation of digital evidence and data found in mobile devices.
According to some statistical indicators, the number of mobile device users in 2018 rose to about 4.5 billion active users.
Apart from direct communication, mobile devices are increasingly used for other purposes.
The technological capabilities of mobile devices are evolving every day, and thus the amount of information that the user accumulates on the device during the period of use is growing. It is this information that represents the door to the world of data, which in mobile forensics is becoming key evidence in solving criminal offenses
