Cilj rada bio je osmisliti proizvod u skladu s vrijednostima brenda te ga vizualno i komunikacijski prilagoditi ciljanoj skupini korisnika. Kroz istraživanje tržišta, analizu konkurencije i prikupljanje podataka putem online ankete, oblikovani su ključni elementi proizvoda, od sastojaka i naziva, do dizajna ambalaže, cijene i kanala distribucije.
Poseban naglasak stavljen je na dizajn etikete i razvoj vizualnog identiteta proizvoda. U nedostatku fizičkog proizvoda, vizualna prezentacija ostvarena je pomoću alata umjetne inteligencije kako bi se prikazao stvarni dojam proizvoda u različitim ambijentima.
U praktičnom dijelu rada razvijena je i komunikacijska strategija koja uključuje vizuale za oglase i društvene mreže, predložene suradnje s influencerima, kao i ideje za promotivne aktivnosti.
Cijeli rad temelji se na stvarnim procesima razvoja proizvoda unutar BIOVITALIS® tima, dok je završni izgled i komunikacija rezultat moga osobnog promišljanja, znanja stečenog tijekom školovanja i iskustva u dizajnu i marketingu. Iako proizvod još nije fizički izrađen, rad pokazuje kako se promišljenim pristupom može osmisliti cjelokupna strategija koja je spremna za lansiranje.This thesis presents the process of developing a new cosmetic product within the BIOVITALIS® brand. The aim was to create a product aligned with the brand’s values and to visually and communicatively tailor it to the target customer group. Through market research, competitor analysis, and data collection via an online survey, the key product elements were shaped, from ingredients and product name to packaging design, pricing, and distribution channels.
Special emphasis was placed on the label design and the development of the product’s visual identity. In the absence of a physical product, the visual presentation was created using artificial intelligence tools to simulate the actual appearance of the product in various environments.
The practical part of the thesis also includes a communication strategy comprising ad visuals and social media content, suggested influencer collaborations, and ideas for promotional activities.
The entire project is based on real product development processes within the BIOVITALIS® team, while the final design and communication concept reflect my personal insight, the knowledge gained throughout my studies, and my experience in design and marketing. Although the product has not yet been physically produced, the thesis demonstrates how a thoughtful approach can result in a complete strategy ready for launch
Parents' opinions on the role of physiotherapists in physiotherapy procedures for children with autism
No full textUvod i cilj: Autizam prvi puta opisuje 1943. godine dječji psihijatar Leo Kanner. Riječ autizam dolazi od grčke riječi authos što označuje sam. Unazad posljednjih desetak godina uočava se zastoju u jezičnom razvoju djece isto kao i smanjenja interakcija s ostatkom društva. Prevalencija autizma je 1 naspram 1000 djece te je u konstantom porastu, a zahvaća više mušku djecu. Autizam obuhvaća mnogobrojne promjene u vidu oslabljene motorike, percepcije, miješanja emocija i zaostatku u intelektualnom području. Budući da je svako dijete individua za sebe, za svakoga posebno treba napraviti plan i cilj liječenja što će napraviti fizioterapeuti na temelju individualne procjene. Fizioterapeuti imaju veliku ulogu u očuvanju i poboljšanju funkcije lokomotornog i mišićnog sustava. Osim poboljšanja motorike i sprječavanja kontraktura, oni značajno doprinose i fizičkoj, ali i emocionalnoj zaštiti.
Metode: Ovaj istraživački rad u cilj ima ispitati mišljenje i zadovoljstvo roditelja djece s poremećajem iz spektra autizma o radu fizioterapeuta s njihovom djecom. Ispitivanje je provedeno putem društvenih mreža i Centra za autizam, korištenjem formuliranog anketnog upitnika koji je bio potpuno anoniman. U istraživanje su se uključila 48 roditelja s područja Varaždinske, Međimurske i Zagrebačke županije.
Rezultati: Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da veliki broj roditelja prepoznaje važnost uloge fizioterapeuta u poboljšanju zdravstvenog stanja njihovog djeteta. Međutim, također je uočeno da mnoga djeca nisu uključena u fizioterapijski program. S druge strane, velika većina djece uključena je u školske aktivnosti
Zaključak: Uzevši u obzir županije iz kojih dolaze ispitanici, vidljivo je da je manji dio djece s poremećajem iz spektra autizma uključen u fizioterapijski program od najranije dobi. Neka djeca čak nemaju pristup takvom programu. Stoga je nužno dodatno raditi na edukaciji roditelja te osiguravanju stručne pomoći i dostupnosti fizioterapijskih usluga za djecu s autizmom.Introduction and aim: Autism was first described in 1943 by child psychiatrist Leo Kanner. The word autism comes from the Greek word authos, meaning „self“. Over the past 10 years, delays in children's language development have been observed, as well as reduced interaction with the rest of society. The prevalence of autism is 1 in 1000 children and is constantly increasing, with a higher incidence in boys. Autism includes numerous changes such as impaired motor skills, perception difficulties, emotional disturbances, and intellectual delays. Since each child is an individual, a personalized treatment plan and goal should be createde for each one, designed by physiotherapists based on an individual assessment. Physiotherapists play an important role in maintaining and improving the function of the locomotor and muscular systems. In addition to improving motor skills and preventing contractures, they significantly contribute to both the physical and emotional well-being of the child.
Methods: The aim od this research paper is to examine the opinions and satisfaction of parents of children with autism spectrum disorders regarding the work of physiotherapists with their children. The survey was conducted trough social media and the Autism Center using a formulated questionnaire that was completely anonymous. A total of 48 parents from the Varaždin, Međimurje, and Zagreb counties participated in the study.
Results: The research shows that a large number of parents recognize the importance of physiotherapists in improving their child's health condition. However, it was also observed that many children are not included in the physiotherapy programs. On the other hand, the vast majority of children are included in school activities
Conclusion: Taking into account the counties of the respondents, it is evident that only a small portion of children with autism spectrum disorder are included in the physiotherapy programs from an early age. Some children do not even have the access to such programs. Therefore, it is necessary to improve education for parents and ensure professional support and the availability of physiotherapy services for children with autism
Physiotherapy approach for persons with multiple sclerosis
No full textMultipla skleroza jedna je od kroničnih autoimunih bolesti središnjeg živčanog sustava, koja je karakterizirana propadanjem mijelinske ovojnice na živčanoj stanici. Propadanje mijelinske ovojnice može dovesti do prestanka pravilnog prijenosa impulsa između živčanih stanica. Smatra se da je multipla skleroza idiopatska bolest, odnosno da je uzrok bolesti nepoznat, ali se pretpostavlja da se može prenositi genetski ili ako je osoba preboljela neku od upalnih bolesti središnjeg živčanog sustava. Takva bolest je dva puta češća u žena i kod većine osoba javlja se između dvadesete i pedesete godine života. Multipla skleroza očituje se kroz dvije faze. Prva faza je faza egzacerbacije, što se odnosi na period pogoršavanja simptoma i opće stanje bolesnika je veoma loše. U toj fazi simptomi počinju biti intenzivniji. Druga faza je faza remisije kada se simptomi smanjuju ili mogu potpuno nestati. Pojava simptoma ovisi o tome koliko je oštećena mijelinska ovojnica u središnjem živčanom sustavu, a najčešći simptomi koji se pojavljuju su trnci na jednoj strani tijela, umor, poremećaji vida, problemi s koordinacijom, smetnje mokrenja i emocionalni problemi. Obzirom da multipla skleroza nije izlječiva bolest može se usporiti napredovanje same bolesti i simptoma, pa kod liječenja simptoma od velike pomoći su lijekovi i fizioterapijski postupci koji mogu smanjiti bol, ublažiti malaksavost i umor. Kod liječenja osoba koje boluju od multiple skleroze važan je fizioterapeut, jer on mora napraviti pravilan plan i program vježbi koji je individualan za svakog pojedinca. Sama edukacija obitelji o bolesti multiple skleroze i kako se nositi sa tom bolešću kada je ista u fazi egzacerbacije pridonosi velikoj važnosti. Prognoza multiple skleroze je neizvjesna, što znači da kod nekih osoba simptomi mogu biti blagi, dok kod drugih mogu dovesti do značajnije onesposobljenosti, no smatra se da pravilan način života može produžiti fazu remisije i kvaliteta života može se itekako poboljšati.Multiple sclerosis is one of the chronic autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system, characterized by the degeneration of the myelin sheath on nerve cells. The breakdown of the myelin sheath can lead to the failure of proper impulse transmission between nerve cells. Multiple sclerosis is considered an idiopathic disease, meaning its exact cause is unknown, but it is believed that it may be genetically transmitted or triggered if a person has previously suffered from an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. This condition is twice as common in women and usually occurs between the ages of twenty and fifty.Multiple sclerosis manifests through two phases. The first phase is the exacerbation phase, which refers to a period of worsening symptoms, during which the patient's overall condition is very poor. In this phase, symptoms become more intense. The second phase is the remission phase, when symptoms lessen or may completely disappear. The onset of symptoms depends on the extent of damage to the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. The most common symptoms include tingling on one side of the body, fatigue, visual disturbances, coordination problems, urinary issues, and emotional difficulties. Since multiple sclerosis is not a curable disease, its progression and symptoms can be slowed down. Medications and physiotherapy procedures are very helpful in symptom management, as they can reduce pain, relieve fatigue and exhaustion. In the treatment of individuals with multiple sclerosis, the role of the physiotherapist is essential, as they must create a proper and individualized exercise plan for each patient. Educating the family about multiple sclerosis and how to cope during the exacerbation phase also plays a significant role. The prognosis of multiple sclerosis is uncertain, meaning that for some individuals the symptoms may be mild, while for others they can lead to significant disability. However, it is believed that a proper lifestyle can prolong the remission phase and significantly improve quality of life
Knowledge of the general population about acute myocardial infarction
No full textAkutni infarkt miokarda (AIM), u populaciji poznat i kao srčani udar, predstavlja jedno od najčešćih i najsmrtonosnijih kardiovaskularnih stanja u svijetu, uključujući i Hrvatsku. Karakterizira ga iznenadni prekid dotoka krvi u srčani mišić, najčešće uslijed začepljenja koronarne arterije aterosklerotskim plakom, što dovodi do ishemije i nekroze miokarda. Glavni simptomi uključuju bol u prsima koja se širi u ruke, vrat, čeljust ili leđa, uz moguće popratne simptome poput mučnine, znojenja i kratkoće daha. Brza dijagnostika i liječenje važni su za smanjenje smrtnosti i komplikacija povezanih s AIM-om. Cilj završnog rada bio je ispitati razinu znanja i stavove stanovnika Republike Hrvatske o akutnom infarktu miokarda, njegovim simptomima, čimbenicima rizika te preventivnim mjerama. Provedeno je kvantitativno istraživanje putem strukturiranog anketnog upitnika, koji je ispunilo 279 ispitanika različitih dobnih skupina, spola i razine obrazovanja. Upitnik je obuhvaćao pitanja o prepoznavanju simptoma AIM-a, poznavanju čimbenika rizika, stavovima prema zdravim životnim navikama te ponašanju u slučaju sumnje na srčani udar. Podaci su analizirani statističkim metodama kako bi se dobio uvid u razinu informiranosti i svijesti građana o ovom ozbiljnom zdravstvenom problemu. Analiza podataka pokazala je da većina ispitanika posjeduje osnovno znanje o simptomima akutnog infarkta miokarda, pri čemu su najčešće prepoznati simptomi bol u prsima, znojenje i kratkoća daha. Međutim, uočene su i nejasnoće u prepoznavanju atipičnih simptoma, osobito kod žena, te u pravilnom reagiranju u hitnim situacijama. Većina ispitanika svjesna je važnosti zdravih životnih navika, poput redovite tjelesne aktivnosti i uravnotežene prehrane, ali postoji prostor za poboljšanje u primjeni tih navika u svakodnevnom životu. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za kontinuiranom edukacijom i podizanjem svijesti stanovništva o akutnom infarktu miokarda, s posebnim naglaskom na prepoznavanje simptoma, pravilno reagiranje u hitnim slučajevima te usvajanje zdravih životnih navika kao najvažnijih preventivnih mjera. Implementacija ciljanih edukativnih programa i kampanja može doprinijeti smanjenju smrtnosti i poboljšanju kvalitete života osoba u riziku od kardiovaskularnih bolesti.Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, is among the leading causes of mortality globally, including in Croatia. It is characterized by a sudden interruption of blood flow to the heart muscle, most often due to the blockage of a coronary artery by an atherosclerotic plaque, leading to ischemia and necrosis of the myocardium. The main symptoms include chest pain that spreads to the arms, neck, jaw or back, with possible accompanying symptoms such as nausea, sweating and shortness of breath. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to reduce mortality and complications associated with AMI. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of the Croatian population regarding acute myocardial infarction, its symptoms, risk factors, and preventive measures. A quantitative study was conducted using a structured questionnaire completed by 279 participants of varying ages, genders, and educational backgrounds. The survey included questions on symptom recognition, awareness of risk factors, attitudes toward healthy lifestyle habits, and appropriate responses in suspected heart attack scenarios. Data were statistically analyzed to evaluate the level of public awareness and understanding of this critical health issue. The analysis revealed that most respondents possessed basic knowledge of AMI symptoms, with chest pain, sweating, and shortness of breath being the most commonly recognized. However, significant gaps were noted in identifying atypical symptoms, particularly in women, and in understanding the correct actions to take during emergencies. While many participants acknowledged the importance of healthy lifestyle choices, such as regular physical activity and a balanced diet, there remains room for improvement in the practical adoption of these habits. The findings highlight the need for ongoing education and awareness campaigns to enhance the public's understanding of acute myocardial infarction. Emphasis should be placed on symptom recognition, appropriate emergency responses, and the adoption of healthy lifestyle practices as key preventive strategies. Implementing targeted educational programs can significantly contribute to reducing mortality rates and improving the quality of life for individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases

Some of the registers maintained by the State Geodetic Administration, which are also fundamental for the proper maintenance and management of the real estate cadastre, are described, along with some of the applied solutions for technical support in managing and maintaining the real estate cadastre. In the practical part of the thesis, a geodetic documentation for implementation in the land registry was created, and the method of collecting cadastral and land registry data that serves as the foundation for the creation of geodetic documentation is demonstrated
Exercise in pregnancy
No full textVježbanje tijekom trudnoće sve se više prepoznaje kao važan čimbenik u očuvanju zdravlja trudnice i pravilnog razvoja fetusa. Promjene koje se događaju tijekom trudnoće, uključujući anatomske, fiziološke i hormonalne prilagodbe, imaju značajan utjecaj na svakodnevno funkcioniranje žene te mogu dovesti do bolnih stanja i smanjene funkcionalnosti ako se ne pristupi pravovremenoj i pravilnoj fizičkoj intervenciji. U ovom radu prikazane su različite vrste vježbi koje se preporučuju tijekom trudnoće poput aerobnog treninga, vježbi snage, vježbi cirkulacije, vježbe u vodi te specifične vježbe za prvo, drugo i treće tromjesečje. Naglasak je stavljen na doziranje intenziteta, pravilnu tehniku izvođenja vježbi i individualizaciju pristupa svakoj trudnici, uzimajući u obzir njeno zdravstveno stanje, stupanj prethodne tjelesne aktivnosti i prisutnost eventualnih kontraindikacija. Uloga fizioterapeuta u ovom procesu izuzetno je važna jer upravo on provodi procjenu funkcionalnog statusa trudnice, planira siguran i učinkovit program vježbanja, educira trudnicu o pravilnim položajima tijela, tehnikama disanja i načinu izvođenja svakodnevnih standardiziranih upitnika poput PPAQ i PARmed-X te testova za procjenu posturalnih i mišićnih promjena, kao što je dijastaza m. rectus abdominisa. Posebna pažnja posvećena je pravilnom izvođenju pokreta i zaštitnim položajima u trudnoći kako bi se preveniralo prenaprezanja, mišićne disbalanse i potencijalne ozljede, osobito u kasnijim fazama trudnoće. Sve navedeno doprinosi ne samo boljoj tjelesnoj spremnosti trudnice, već i lakšem porodu, bržem oporavku te općenitom osjećaju dobrobiti tijekom trudnoće.Exercise during pregnancy is increasingly recognized as an important factor in maintaining the health of the pregnant woman and supporting the proper development of the fetus. The changes that occur throughout pregnancy, including anatomical, physiological and hormonal adaptations, significantly affect a woman's daily functioning and can lead to painful conditions and reduced functionality if not addressed through timely and appropriate physical intervention. This paper presents various types of exercises recommended during pregnancy, such as aerobic training, strenght training, circulation exercises, water-based exercises and trimester-specific workouts for the first, second and third stages of pregnancy. Emphasis is placed on intensity regulation, correct exercise technique and the need to tailor the approach to each individual pregnant woman, taking into account her health status, previous activity level and any potential contraindications. The role of the physiotherapist in this process is extremely important, as they are responsible for assessing the physical condition of the pregnant woman, planning a safe and effective exercise program and educating her on proper body positioning, breathing techniques and execution of daily activities. Additionally, physiotherapists use standardized questionnaires such as the PPAQ and PARmed-X as well as tests to evaluate postural and muscular changes, such as diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscle. Special attention is given to correct movement execution and protective postures during pregnancy to prevent overstrain, muscle imbalances and potential injuries, especiall in the later stages of pregnancy. All of the above contributes not only to improved physical preparedness of the pregnant woman but also to an easier labor, faster recovery and an overall sense of well-being during pregnancy
Nutrition of patients on hemodialysis
No full textZavršni rad bavi se prehrambenim smjernicama za bolesnike s kroničnom bubrežnom zatajenjem koji se liječe hemodijalizom, te ulogom prehrane u smanjenju komplikacija i poboljšanju kvalitete života. Kronična bubrežna bolest (KBB) predstavlja ozbiljan javnozdravstveni problem koji dovodi do trajnog gubitka funkcije bubrega. S obzirom na činjenicu da se KBB razvija postepeno i često bez izraženih simptoma, pravovremena dijagnostika i prehrambena prilagodba ključni su za usporavanje napredovanja bolesti. Hemodijaliza, najčešće korištena metoda nadomjesnog liječenja, omogućuje pročišćavanje krvi od toksina i viška tekućine, no zahtjeva strogu kontrolu unosa nutrijenata.
Pravilno planiranje prehrane, uključujući smanjenje unosa soli, kalija, fosfora i tekućine, može pomoći u smanjenju simptoma kao što su hipertenzija i hiperkalijemija te spriječiti komplikacije koje mogu ugroziti zdravlje bolesnika. Osiguranje adekvatnog unosa proteina i energije također je važno za održavanje mišićne mase i održavanje općeg zdravlja.
Uz hemodijalizu, rad obrađuje i transplantaciju bubrega kao najučinkovitije rješenje za bolesnike u završnom stadiju KBB-a. Transplantacija značajno poboljšava kvalitetu života jer uklanja potrebu za dijalizom i omogućuje povratak bubrežne funkcije. Pravilna prehrana prije i nakon transplantacije ključna je za uspješan oporavak i očuvanje funkcije presađenog bubrega.The thesis adresses dietary guidelines for patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis and the role of nutrition in reducing complications and improving quality of life. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious public health issue that leads to permanent loss of kidney function. Since CKD develops gradually and often without noticable symptoms, timely diagnosis and dietary adjustments are crucial for slowing disease progression. Hemodialysis, the most commonly used method of renal replacement therapy, enables the removal of toxins and excess fluid from the blood, but requires strict control of nutrient intake.
Proper dietary planning, including reduced intake of salt, potassium, phosphours, and fluid, can help alleviate symptoms such as hypertension and hyperkalemia, and prevent complications that may endanger the patient's health. Ensuring adequate protein and energy intake is also essential for maintaining muscle mass and overall health.
In addition to hemodialysis, the thesis adresses kidney transplantation as the most effective solution for patients in the finale stage of CKD. Transplantation significantly improves quality of life by eliminating the need for dialysis and restoring kidney function. Proper nutrition before and after transplantation is essential for a successful recovery and for preserving the function of the transplanted kidney

Attitudes and knowledge of students of health and non-health professions about HPV vaccination
No full textOvaj diplomski rad bavi se analizom stavova i razine znanja studenata zdravstvenih i nezdravstvenih struka o procijepljenosti protiv humanog papiloma virusa (HPV). HPV se smatra najčešćom spolno prenosivom infekcijom, a uzrokuje različite vrste karcinoma, uključujući rak vrata maternice, penisa, vagine i orofaringealnih regija. Čimbenici rizika za HPV infekciju uključuju rani početak spolne aktivnosti, veći broj spolnih partnera, nezaštićene spolne odnose, nisku razinu obrazovanja, pušenje, te smanjeni imunitet. Liječenje HPV infekcija uključuje razne metode, ovisno o prirodi lezija. Kod benignih lezija, poput genitalnih bradavica, liječenje može uključivati krioterapiju, elektrokauterizaciju i kemijske metode. Prevencija HPV-a obuhvaća cijepljenje kao najučinkovitiji oblik zaštite od najopasnijih sojeva virusa. Cijepljenje protiv HPV-a je dostupno u Republici Hrvatskoj od 2015. godine, besplatno za učenike osnovnih i srednjih škola te za sve osobe do 25 godina. Uz cijepljenje, preporučuju se redoviti pregledi i testiranje, poput PAPA testa, kako bi se pravovremeno otkrile moguće promjene izazvane HPV infekcijom. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi koliko su studenti informirani o HPV-u, koji su njihovi stavovi prema cijepljenju te kolika je stvarna procijepljenost među njima. Istraživanje je provedeno online anketnim upitnikom kojeg je ispunio 261 student, podijeljen u dvije skupine: studenti zdravstvenih i nezdravstvenih struka. Rezultati su pokazali da studenti zdravstvenih struka imaju bolju informiranost i višu razinu znanja o HPV-u i cijepljenju u usporedbi s kolegama iz nezdravstvenih struka. Međutim, bez obzira na relativno visoku razinu informiranosti, većina studenata pokazuje negativan stav prema cijepljenju – samo manji dio njih je cijepljen, a mnogi necijepljeni studenti ne planiraju to učiniti u budućnosti.This final paper deals with the analysis of the attitudes and level of knowledge of students of health and non-health professions about vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is considered the most common sexually transmitted infection, and causes various types of cancer, including cancer of the cervix, penis, vagina, and oropharyngeal regions. HPV Risk include early onset of sexual activity, greater number of sexual partners, unprotected sex, low level of education, smoking, and reduced immunity. Treatment of HPV infections includes various methods, depending on the nature of the lesions. For benign lesions, such as genital warts, treatment may include cryotherapy, electrocautery, and chemical methods. HPV prevention includes vaccination as the most effective form of protection against the most dangerous strains of the virus. Vaccination against HPV has been available in the Republic of Croatia since 2015, free of charge for primary and secondary school students and for all persons up to 25 years of age. In addition to vaccination, regular examinations and testing, such as the PAPA test, are recommended in order to timely detect possible changes caused by HPV infection. The objective of the research was to determine how informed the students are about HPV, what their attitudes are towards vaccination, and the actual vaccination rate among them. The research was conducted through a questionnaire on a sample of 261 students, divided into two groups: students of health and non-health professions. The results showed that students of health professions have better information and a higher level of knowledge about HPV and vaccination compared to their colleagues from non-health professions. However, regardless of the relatively high level of information, most students show a negative attitude towards vaccination - only a small part of them have been vaccinated, and many unvaccinated students do not plan to do so in the future
