Digital Gender Gap in the European Union ICT employment
No full textThis paper aims to explore the correlation between ICT educated employed women and selected socio- economic and educational indicators in EU-27 leading towards a deeper understanding of the digital gender gap throughout wide national varieties. The interconnection between the share of ICT educated women employment ratio and selected socio-economic and educational indicators for overall, former socialist and all other EU-27 countries has been observed to determine the cross-cultural varieties in EU-27, reveal positive practices, and enable their wider adoption working towards better gender-balanced ICT initiatives throughout the whole EU-27. The research conducted found both positive and negative correlation varieties in grouped countries suggesting explanatory solutions for strengthening gender-balanced policies of EU-27 need to address and respect cross-cultural differences and carefully plan joint activities in making progress towards overall gender equality

No full textTema ovog rada značaj je poljoprivrednih proizvoda u vanjsko trgovinskoj razmjeni sa zemljama Europske unije i zemljama u regiji. Pod zemlje u regiji podrazumijevaju se: Srbija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Makedonija, Kosovo i Crna Gora. Poljoprivredni su proizvodi oduvijek imali velik značaj na razvoj svakog gospodarstva i uvijek su bili na cijeni, a to se vidi sad tijekom ovog rata u Ukrajini i krize izazvane Covidom-19. Osnovni je cilj ovog rada povezati značaj poljoprivrednih proizvoda za tržište Republike Hrvatske, robnu razmjenu sa zemljama članicama Europske unije i zemljama u regiji, usporediti poljoprivredu i razvoj poljoprivrede te njihove poljoprivredne proizvode u članicama EU i zemljama u regiji. Istaknut će se važnost poljoprivrednog tržišnog natjecanja pojedinih zemalja, važnost robne razmjene između Republike Hrvatske i Europske unije te zemalja u okruženju. Na pojedinim primjerima ukazat će se na dobre i loše strane prodaje i kupnje poljoprivrednih proizvoda u Republici Hrvatskoj, odnosno važnost uvoza i izvoza između navedenih zemalja.The topic of this paper is the importance of agricultural products in foreign trade with the countries of the European Union and countries in the region.

The main goal of this work is to connect the importance of agricultural products for the market of the Republic of Croatia, trade with EU member states and countries in the region, to compare agriculture and the development of agriculture and their agricultural products in EU members and countries in the region. The importance of agricultural market competition of individual countries, the importance of trade between the Republic of Croatia and the EU and neighboring countries will be emphasized. Some examples will show the good and bad sides of selling and buying agricultural products in the Republic of Croatia, that is, the importance of import and export between the mentioned countries
FACTORS OF STARTUP SUCCESS IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY
No full textStartup-i su novi oblik poduzeća koji još nema odgovarajući pandan u Republici Hrvatskoj. Glavne karakteristike su težnja globalnoj prepoznatosti i poslovanju na globalnoj razini, a odlikuju se i velikom energijom i entuzijazmom osnivača. Ipak, mnogi startup-i ne uspiju izrasti i dosegnuti svoj puni potencijal. U okruženju digitalne ekonomije, koja je uvjetovana rastom i tehnološkim napretkom te digitalizacijom procesa, razmatraju se i čimbenici uspješnosti startup-a. Pregledom teorijske podloge i prethodnih istraživanja ustanovljeno je kako su glavni čimbenici ideja, pravodobnost i sredstava osigurana za početno ulaganje. U nastavku rada provedeno je istraživanje kojim je ustanovljeno da je većina čimbenika podjednako važna za uspješnost startup-a.Startups are a new form of company that does not yet have a corresponding counterpart in the Republic of Croatia. The main characteristics are the aspiration for global recognition and business on a global level, and they are characterized by great energy and enthusiasm of the founders. However, many startups fail to grow and reach their full potential. In the environment of the digital economy, which is conditioned by growth and technological progress and digitization of processes, the success factors of startups are also considered. By reviewing the theoretical background and previous research, it was established that the main factors are ideas, timeliness and funds provided for the initial investment. In the continuation of the work, research was conducted, which established that most factors are equally important for the success of a startup

Weed Community in Soybean Responses to Agricultural Management Systems
No full textWeed infestation is a major cause of the poor yield of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.); therefore, proper weed management represents one of the most important and expensive steps in soybean production. Field experiments were established in northeastern parts of Croatia, in the Vukovar-Syrmia county from 2014 to 2016, arranged in a split-plot design with four replications. Two different studies were conducted: the first study was to determine the weed interference, weed biomass accumulation, yield, and yield components of soybeans growing in three different rows spacing (25, 50, and 70 cm), and the second study aimed to simulate a risk analysis by building models of probabilities for generating profit as a result of weed control. The weed community in soybean during the study period comprised 34 dicot and grass species of a varied perennation. Compositional differences in the weed community tended to be affected most by the year (humid–arid environment), followed by row spacing. There were no differences in the weed biomass accumulation with a reduction in row spacing from 70 to 50 and 25 cm. The dominant weed species Amaranthus retroflexus, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Chenopodium album, Datura stramonium, Setaria viridis, and Sorghum halepense formed the main biomass and were spread over all row spacings. There was a significant influence of row spacing, the duration of weed interference, and year on soybean yield and yield components. Weed infestation until the second trifoliate (V2) stage had no detrimental effect on soybean yield, regardless of the row spacing. The number of pods per plant significantly decreased at the same V2 stage in 25 and 50-cm rows, but in 70-cm soybean rows, this process started later, at four unfolded trifoliate leaves (V4 stage). A 1000 kernel weight was less sensitive to weed infestation and was significantly decreased at full flowering (R2 stage) in 25 and 70 cm rows, while it already decreased at the V4 stage in 50 cm rows. The probability distribution of achieving a profit showed the best results for soybeans growing in 70 cm rows, with preemergence herbicide application and two inter-row cultivation
