    U ovome radu istraženi su stavovi medicinskih sestara/ tehničara o etičkim aspektima palijativne skrbi te pojmovima distanazije, eutanazije i mistanazije. S obzirom na sve veću potrebu za palijativnom skrbi uslijed porasta kroničnih bolesti, ali i produžetka životnog vijeka zbog napretka medicine, postoji velika važnost poznavanja navedenih pojmova kod zdravstvenih djelatnika. U teorijskom dijelu rada objašnjeni su sami pojmovi palijativne skrbi, kako prepoznati pacijenta s potrebama za palijativnom skrbi te pojmovi eutanazije, distanazije i mistanazije. Dok eutanazija predstavlja dobru smrt, odnosno njezin sinonim je ubojstvo iz milosrđa, suprotno se nalazi pojam mistanazije koji označava bijednu smrt. Distanazija ili terapijska beskorisnost označava primjenu invazivnih medicinskih tretmana kod terminalnih pacijenta. Kroz istraživački dio rada istraženi su stavovi o navedenim temama kod medicinskih sestara/ tehničara u Službi za produženo liječenje i palijativnu skrb Novi Marof. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoje li razlike u stavovima ispitanika s obzirom na radno mjesto, završeno obrazovanje i duljinu radnog staža u Službi Novi Marof. Rezultati su pokazali da ispitanici prema nekim područjima imaju jasno izražen stav, dok su u nekim područjima neutralni, što se može pravdati nedovoljnim poznavanjem određene teme. Istraživanje je ukazalo na postojanje razlika u stavovima ispitanika s obzirom na odjel zaposlenja i duljinu radnog staža u Službi Novi Marof, dok završeno obrazovanje ne igra ulogu u razlici u stavovima ispitanika.This paper explores the attitudes of nurses and medical technicians regarding the ethical aspects of palliative care, as well as the concepts of dysthanasia, euthanasia, and mysthanasia. Given the increasing need for palliative care due to the rise in chronic illnesses and the extension of life expectancy as a result of medical advancements, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to be familiar with these concepts. The theoretical part of the paper explains the notions of palliative care, how to recognize patients in need of such care, and the definitions and ethical considerations surrounding euthanasia, dysthanasia, and mysthanasia. The research part of the paper investigates the attitudes of nurses and medical technicians working in the Department for extended treatment and palliative care Novi Marof. The aim of the research was to determine whether there are differences in attitudes depending on the workplace, level of education, and years of service at Novi Marof. The results showed that participants have clearly formed opinions on some topics, while on others their responses were neutral—likely due to a lack of knowledge about the subject. The research confirmed that there are differences in attitudes depending on the department of employment and years of service at Novi Marof, whereas the level of education did not influence the participants' attitudes

    Ovaj završni rad prikazuje cjelovit proces sinkronizacije osme epizode treće sezone serije The Mandalorian na hrvatski jezik. Kroz teorijski okvir audiovizualnog prevođenja, s posebnim naglaskom na sinkronizaciju, obrađeni su tehnički, lingvistički i izvedbeni aspekti lokalizacije sadržaja. Rad uključuje temeljitu pripremu scenarija, snimanje u profesionalnim uvjetima, detaljnu zvučnu obradu te konačni miks i izvođenje sinkroniziranog zvuka. Praktični dio rada obuhvatio je rad s više govornika, individualnu prilagodbu svakog glasa pomoću efekata (poput Pitch Shifter, Reverb, Equalizer, Flanger, Guitar Suite) te primjenu softverskih alata poput Adobe Auditiona i DaVinci Resolvea. Korišteni su specifični zvučni efekti kako bi se postigla autentičnost glasova likova iz serije, osobito onih koji nose kacige ili su droidi. Rad pokazuje da je kvalitetna lokalizacija moguća i na jezike koji nisu dominantni u globalnoj distribuciji. Sinkronizacija nije samo tehnički, već i izrazito kreativan proces koji zahtijeva poznavanje jezika, kulture, tehnologije i interpretacije.This final thesis presents the complete process of dubbing the eighth episode of the third season of The Mandalorian into Croatian. Through the theoretical framework of audiovisual translation, with a particular focus on dubbing, the thesis explores the technical, linguistic, and performance aspects of content localization. The work includes thorough script preparation, recording in professional conditions, detailed sound processing, and the final mix and execution of the dubbed audio. The practical part involved working with multiple voice actors, individually adjusting each voice using effects (such as Pitch Shifter, Reverb, Equalizer, Flanger, Guitar Suite), and employing software tools like Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve. Specific sound effects were used to achieve the authenticity of the characters’ voices from the series, especially those wearing helmets or portrayed as droids. The thesis demonstrates that high-quality localization is possible even for languages that are not dominant in global distribution. Dubbing is not merely a technical task but also a highly creative process that requires knowledge of language, culture, technology, and performance

    Razvojna faza puzanja predstavlja jedno od ključnih razdoblja u ranom motoričkom razvoju jer omogućava djetetu prvo samostalno kretanje i kretanje u prostoru. Time se potiče razvoj bilateralne koordinacije, stabilnosti trupa, orijentacije u prostoru te senzo-motorne integracije. Puzanje se ne smatra samo prijelaznom fazom između ležećeg položaja i hodanja, već ima važnu ulogu u oblikovanju temeljnih obrazaca kretanja koji čine osnovu za složenije motoričke vještine u kasnijem razvoju. U teorijskom dijelu rada objašnjava se neurofiziološka podloga ranog motoričkog razvoja, razvojna faza puzanja i njezin značaj te osnovne motoričke sposobnosti djece u predškolskom uzrastu. Također se prikazuju rezultati relevantnih studija koje potvrđuju da iskustvo puzanja doprinosi kasnijoj posturalnoj stabilnosti, ravnoteži te koordinaciji. Puzanje omogućava usklađeno djelovanje lijeve i desne strane tijela te jača mišiće trupa i udova kroz funkcionalne obrasce pokreta koji se kasnije koriste u hodu, trčanju i drugim oblicima kretanja. Istraživački dio rada se temelji na analizi rezultata standardiziranih testova motoričkih sposobnosti koji su provedeni na uzorku djece predškolske dobi uzrasta od 3 do 6 godina, u tri dječja vrtića u Varaždinskoj županiji. Djeca su podijeljena u dvije skupine ovisno o trajanju faze puzanja (manje od mjesec dana, od 1-3 mjeseca). Rezultati analize pokazali su da su djeca koja su puzala između 1 i 3 mjeseca postigla značajno bolje rezultate u zadacima koji zahtijevaju snagu, ravnotežu i koordinaciju, poput skoka u dalj s mjesta, podizanja trupa i prenošenja pretrčavanjem. Rezultati istraživanja ovog rada ukazuju na to da faza puzanja ima važnu ulogu u razvoju motoričkih sposobnosti te da njezino optimalno trajanje, prema rezultatima istraživanja, iznosi između 1 i 3 mjeseca. Dobiveni rezultati mogu poslužiti kao smjernice za planiranje edukacijskih i razvojnih programa koji uključuju aktivnost slične puzanju, s ciljem poticanja zdravog i cjelovitog motoričkog razvoja u ranom djetinjstvu.The crawling developmental phase present one of the key moment in early developmental stage because it allows the child’s first independent movement and movement in space. This encourages the development of bilateral coordination, body stability, orientation in space and sensorimotor integration. Crawling is not only considerate a transitional stage beetwen lying and walking, but it has a very important part in shaping basic movement pattern which makes basis for more complex skills in later development. The theoretical framework, it explain neurophysiological basis of early motor development, the developmental stage of crawling and its importance, and basic motor abilities of preschool children. Also, it shows results of relevant studies which confirme that experience of crawling contributes to later postural stability, balance, coordination and lateralization. Crawling enables coordinated action of left and right sides of the body and strengthenes the muscle of body and limbs through functional patterns of movement which are later used in walking, running and other forms of movement. The research part of the work is based on the analysis of results of standardized motor skills tests which were carried out on a sample of preschool children aged between 3 to 6 years, in three kindergarens in Varaždin County. Children were divided in two groups depending on duration of the crawling phase (less than a month, 1-3 months). The results of analysis showed that children which had crawled between 1 and 3 months had achieved better results in tasks which require strength, balance and coordination, like standing long jump, raising of the body and run-through transmission. The results of this research indicate that crawling phase has a very important part in the development of motor skills and that its optimal duration, according to the research results, is between 1 and 3 months. Given results can be used as guidelines for planning educational and developmental programs that include activities similar to crawling, with a goal of encouraging healthy and comprehensive motor development in early childhood

    U ovom završnom radu opisana je povijest boksa i savate boksa, utvrđena su pravila tih sportova, navedene su razlike između amaterske i profesionalne razine natjecanja te su navedene neke od najčešćih ozljeda u oba sporta i načini liječenja istih. Podrobnije je opisano pet različitih ozljeda s kojima se praktikanti ova dva sporta susreću tijekom vlastite karijere, zatim je spomenuta anatomija, mehanizam nastanka ozljeda, načini liječenja neovisno jesu li konzervativni ili operativni te sama uloga fizioterapeuta u rehabilitaciji i saniranju mogućih ozljeda. Borcima je od velike važnosti što raniji povratak u ring bez posljedica od prethodno pretrpljene ozljede, stoga je fizioterapeutima primarni cilj svesti moguće rizike na minimum, a sportaša potpuno rehabilitirati bez kasnijeg negativnog utjecaja na njegove performanse. Obzirom na kontaktnu i agresivnu prirodu ovih sportova, liječenju je potrebno pristupiti oprezno i stručno s neupitnim znanjem kako terapeut ne bi prouzročio dodatnu štetu uz već postojeće narušeno stanje. Neadekvatan pristup pacijentu, od same procjene i uzimanja anamneze pa sve do provedbe tretmana i rehabilitacije, može rezultirati ponovnim ozljeđivanjem sportaša s još razornijim posljedicama po zdravlje. Obrađene ozljede mogu se također javiti u većini ostalih sportova, no ipak su specifične za boks i savate boks, stoga je potrebno poznavati ulogu i primjenu fizioterapije u samoj rehabilitaciji istih.This final paper describes the history of boxing and savate boxing, establishes the rules of these sports, lists the differences between amateur and professional levels of competition, and lists some of the most common injuries in both sports and their treatment methods. Five different injuries that practitioners of these two sports encounter during their careers are described in more detail, then the anatomy, the mechanism of injury occurrence, treatment methods, regardless of whether they are conservative or surgical and the role of physiotherapists in the rehabilitation and repair of possible injuries are mentioned. It is of great importance for fighters to return to the ring as soon as possible without consequences from a previously suffered injury, therefore the primary goal of physiotherapists is to minimize possible risks and fully rehabilitate the athlete without later negative impact on his performance. Given the contact and aggressive nature of these sports, treatment must be approached cautiously and professionally with unquestionable knowledge so that the therapist does not cause additional damage to the already existing impaired condition. An inadequate approach to the patient, from the assessment and history taking to the implementation of treatment and rehabilitation, can result in re-injury of the athlete with even more devastating health consequences. The injuries treated can also occur in most other sports, but are specific to boxing and savate boxing, therefore it is necessary to know the role and application of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation of these sports

    Rad se bavi analizom digitalnog marketinga kao alata u stvaranju konkurentne prednosti poduzeća. Kroz sami pristup radu i obrađenoj temi, uočeno je kako se promijenio način pristupa potrošačima kroz poslovnu komunikaciju. Digitalni marketing nam ujedno predstavlja dolazak do ciljane publike, odnosno razmjene informacija, dvosmjerne komunikacije, a prije svega, dovodi do jačanja brenda, a to je ujedno i svakoj organizaciji/poduzeću bitan iskorak. Usporedba s tradicionalnim marketingom naglašava prednosti fleksibilnosti, nižih troškova i globalnog dosega digitalnih kanala. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na trendove poput korištenja umjetne inteligencije i suradnje s influencerima, kao i pravne i etičke izazove vezane za prikupljanje podataka. Kroz studije slučaja Coca-Cole i Nike-a prikazano je na koje načine primjenjuju strategije kako bi se globalno istaknuli, koristeći društvene mreže, kreativne komunikacije s potrošačima i rad kroz njihove kampanje. Provedena anketa prikazuje povjerenje poduzeća u digitalni marketing. Drugim riječima, zaposlenici pojedinih poduzeća, kroz anketu su pokazali pozitivne rezultate.The paper deals with the analysis of digital marketing as a tool in creating a competitive advantage of companies. Through the very approach to work and the topic addressed, it was noticed how the way of access to consumers through business communication has changed. Digital marketing also represents reaching our target audience, i.e. exchange of information, two-way communication, and above all, leads to brand strengthening, and this is also an important step forward for every organization/company. Comparison with traditional marketing highlights the benefits of flexibility, lower costs and global reach of digital channels. Special emphasis was placed on trends such as the use of artificial intelligence and collaboration with influencers, as well as legal and ethical challenges related to data collection. The Coca-Cola and Nike case studies show how they apply strategies to excel globally, using social media, creative communications with consumers and working through their campaigns. The survey shows companies’ confidence in digital marketing. In other words, employees of certain companies, through the survey, showed positive results

    Tamni način rada postaje sve popularniji u digitalnim korisničkim sučeljima, no njegova kombinacija s različitim fontovima može imati značajan utjecaj na čitkost teksta. Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je ispitati kako tipografija, točnije četiri različita fonta: Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman i Arial, utječu na čitkost teksta u tamnom načinu rada. U teorijskom dijelu rada obrađena su osnovna tipografska načela, razlike među fontovima, te karakteristike tamnog načina rada. Praktični dio obuhvaća istraživanje u kojem je sudjelovalo 80 studenata koji su čitali tekstove na mobilnom uređaju s fiksnom tamnoplavom pozadinom (#15202b). Takva tamna pozadina se koristi u tamnoj temi na društvenoj mreži Twitter/X. Rezultati pokazuju da font Times New Roman ima najmanji broj pogrešaka i najkraće prosječno vrijeme čitanja, čime se izdvojio kao najčitkiji font u tamnom načinu rada. Font Georgia se, s druge strane, pokazao kao najzahtjevniji za čitanje, s najviše pogrešaka. Također, rezultati su pokazali razlike u čitanju između muškaraca i žena, pri čemu su žene brže i preciznije čitale tekst.Dark mode is becoming increasingly popular in digital interfaces, but its combination with different fonts can have a significant impact on text readability. The aim of this thesis was to examine how typography—specifically four different fonts: Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, and Arial—affects text legibility in dark mode. The theoretical part of the thesis covers the basic principles of typography, differences between fonts, and the characteristics of dark mode. The practical part includes a study involving 80 students who read texts on a mobile device with a fixed dark blue background (#15202b). This particular dark background is used in the dark theme on the social network Twitter/X. The results show that Times New Roman had the fewest errors and the shortest average reading time, making it the most legible font in a dark interface. Georgia, on the other hand, proved to be the most challenging to read, with the highest number of errors. The results also revealed differences in reading performance between men and women, with women generally reading faster and more accurately

    Ovaj završni rad istražuje povijest i suvremene prakse vizualnog oblikovanja knjiga, s posebnim naglaskom na dizajn korica. Rad obuhvaća razvoj knjige kroz stoljeća, od funkcionalnih uveza do dizajna kao važnog promotivnog i emocionalnog alata. Analizirani su najvažniji žanrovi beletristike – ljubavni romani, fantastika, horor i znanstvena fantastika – s naglaskom na njihove vizualne i estetske konvencije. Središnji dio rada posvećen je praktičnoj primjeni stečenih znanja kroz proces redizajna knjige „Red Queen“ autorice Victorije Aveyard. Prikazan je cijeli proces – od prikupljanja inspiracije, skiciranja, dizajnerskih odluka i simbolike, do konačnog izgleda korica i izrade digitalnog mockupa. Cilj rada bio je prikazati kako dizajn knjige ne samo da reflektira sadržaj, nego i aktivno oblikuje percepciju i emociju čitatelja.This thesis explores the history and contemporary practices of visual book design, with a particular focus on cover design. The paper covers the development of the book through the centuries, from functional bindings to design as an important promotional and emotional tool. The most important genres of fiction – romance novels, fantasy, horror and science fiction – are analyzed, with an emphasis on their visual and aesthetic conventions. The central part of the paper is dedicated to the practical application of the knowledge acquired through the process of redesigning the book “Red Queen” by Victoria Aveyard. The entire process is presented – from gathering inspiration, sketching, design decisions and symbolism, to the final appearance of the cover and the creation of a digital mockup. The aim of the paper was to show how the design of a book not only reflects the content, but also actively shapes the perception and emotion of the reader
