    No full text
    Zagrebačka pivovara utemeljena je 1892. godine u Gornjoj Ilici (danas Ilica br. 224) kao Zagrebačka dionička pivovara i tvornica slada d.d. To je jedan od rijetkih industrijskih pogona koji od osnutka do danas djeluje na istoj lokaciji. Bila je planirana kao proizvodni sklop od 11 zgrada koje se grade i dograđuju do Prvoga svjetskog rata, i to: 1892. – 1897. prema projektima Kune Waidmanna, potom 1897. – 1912. prema projektima Martina Pilara te neposredno prije Prvoga svjetskog rata prema projektima građevnog poduzetništva »Pollak, Albert i Bornstein« (nakon Prvoga svjetskog rata »Pollak i Bornstein«). Kao reprezentativni proizvodni sklop izgrađen u historicističkom (neorenesansnom) stilu, markirala je zapadni dio Ilice, unoseći prvi javni (zabavni) sadržaj u nekadašnju periferiju. Nakon privatizacije 1994. godine sklop prvoga i najvrjednijeg graditeljskog sloja devastiran je dogradnjama do neprepoznatljivosti, a devastacije su u manjoj mjeri započele već nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata. Danas je Zagrebačka pivovara zaštićeno kulturno dobro, ali još nema planova za njezinu obnovu.The Zagreb Brewery was founded in 1892 in Gornja Ilica (today Ilica No. 224) as the Zagreb Joint Stock Brewery and Malt Factory JSC. It is one of the rare industrial plants that has operated on the same location since its foundation. It was planned as a production complex of 11 buildings that were built and expanded until the First World War, namely: 1892–1897 according to the designs of Kuna Waidmann, then 1897–1912 according to the designs of Martin Pilar, and immediately before the First World War according to the designs of the construction company "Pollak, Albert and Bornstein" (after the First World War "Pollak and Bornstein"). As a representative production complex built in the historicist (neo-Renaissance) style, it marked the western part of Ilica, introducing the first public (entertainment) content to the former periphery. After privatization in 1994, the first and most valuable building layer was devastated beyond recognition by additions, and the devastation began to a lesser extent after the Second World War. Today, the Zagreb Brewery is a protected cultural property, but there are no plans yet for its restoration

    Ispitivanje integriteta pilota predstavlja ključni aspekt geotehničke analize, a primjenom nedestruktivnih metoda omogućuje se pouzdana procjena stanja pilota bez fizičkog oštećenja konstrukcije. Ovaj rad se bavi primjenom metode Pile Echo Test (PET) za verifikaciju mehaničkih svojstava i kvalitete pilota koji služe kao osiguranje portalnih konstrukcija. Ispitivanje je pokazalo da su izmjerene brzine u opsegu od 4000 do 5000 m/s i amplifikacije između 25% i 35%, što ukazuje da piloti nemaju ozbiljnije strukturne probleme i da nije došlo do degradacije materijala koja bi uticala na nosivost ili stabilnost pilota. Korištenjem PET metode, omogućeno je precizno određivanje integriteta pilota, čime se povećava sigurnost i dugoročna stabilnost portalnih konstrukcija. Rezultati ovog istraživanja potvrđuju značaj primjene ove metode u geotehničkim analizama kao pouzdane tehnike za verifikaciju kvalitete pilota.Testing the integrity of piles is a key aspect of geotechnical analysis, and the application of non-destructive methods allows for a reliable assessment of the condition of piles without causing physical damage to the structure. This paper focuses on the application of the Pile Echo Test (PET) method for verifying the mechanical properties and quality of piles that serve as supports for portal structures. The testing showed that the measured velocities ranged from 4000 to 5000 m/s, with amplifications between 25% and 35%, indicating that the piles do not have serious structural issues and that no material degradation has occurred that would affect the load-bearing capacity or stability of the piles. By using the PET method, the integrity of the piles can be precisely determined, thereby enhancing the safety and long-term stability of portal structures. The results of this study confirm the importance of applying this method in geotechnical analyses as a reliable technique for verifying the quality of piles

    U vremenu kada su djeca sve više vezana za digitalne uređaje, mnogi se s nostalgijom prisjećaju dječjih igara na dvorištu, improviziranih igrališta od krede, kamenčića, užadi ili tek uz pomoć mašte. Upravo je u tom duhu nastao međunarodni eTwinning projekt "Old Games – Builds Bridges Between Past and Today" (na turskom: Eski Oyunlar – Geçmiş ve Bugün Arasında Köprüler Kuruyor), čiji je glavni cilj oživljavanje i istraživanje starih igara kao kulturne baštine, ali i kao učinkovitog alata za obrazovanje, povezivanje i kreativnost. Koordinatori projekta, koji su bili iz Turske, ovoga su puta povezali male škole i pomoću jednostavnih igara povezali međunarodnu zajednicu u projektu

    Svrha – Cilj ovog konceptualnog rada je identificirati odrednice i mehanizme koji oblikuju održivu potrošnju odjeće među adolescentima, s posebnim naglaskom na ulogu stavova prema marketinškoj komunikaciji na društvenim mrežama u kontekstu brze mode. Dizajn/Metodologija/Pristup – U radu je provedeno teorijsko istraživanje s ciljem razvoja novog teorijskog okvira za oblikovanje održive potrošnje odjeće temeljenog na Modelu vrijednosti-stavovi-ponašanje. Rezultati i implikacije – Novi teorijski okvir za oblikovanje održive potrošnje odjeće obuhvaća direktnu povezanost vrijednosti razmatranja budućih posljedica sa stavovima o održivosti i o marketinškoj komunikaciji na društvenim mrežama o brzoj modi te direktnu povezanost stavova i održive potrošnje odjeće. Također obuhvaća i neizravnu povezanost vrijednosti s održivom potrošnjom odjeće putem stavova. Na temelju teorijskog okvira, rad donosi preporuke za oblikovanje marketinških strategija i pristupa nacionalnih politika te poticanje prilagodbe potrošačkih navika u smjeru održivog razvoja. Ograničenja – Istraživanje je temeljeno na korištenju modela koji ne uključuje psihodinamičke elemente ponašanja potrošača. Stoga bi buduća istraživanja trebala razmotriti implementaciju psihodinamičkih teorija ponašanja potrošača u kontekstu održive potrošnje. Originalnost – Suvremeni potrošači izloženi su prekomjernoj količini marketinških poruka te često ne uspijevaju razlikovati vlastite želje od stvarnih životnih potreba. Posljedično, kupuju proizvode koji im nisu potrebni, osobito u kontekstu odjeće i brze mode, što uzrokuje niz negativnih posljedica na okoliš, društvo i pojedinca. Rješenje se nalazi u promicanju održive potrošnje odjeće, osobito među adolescentima, kao značajnom tržišnom segmentu s velikim potencijalom za postizanje ciljeva održivog razvoja u budućnosti.Purpose - The aim of this paper is to identify the determinants and mechanisms shaping sustainable consumption of clothing among adolescents, with a particular focus on the role of marketing communication on social media in the context of fast fashion. Design/Methodology/Approach - The paper conducted theoretical research with the aim of developing a new theoretical framework for shaping sustainable consumption of clothing based on the Value-Attitude-Behaviour Model. Findings and implications - The new theoretical framework for shaping sustainable consumption of clothing encompasses the direct impact of attitudes toward sustainability and attitudes toward social media marketing communication about fast fashion, as well as the indirect impact of the value of consideration of future consequences through attitudes. Additionally, the paper provides recommendations for designing marketing strategies, national policy strategies, and fostering awareness and adaptation of consumer habits toward sustainable development. Limitations - A limitation of the research is the usage of a model that does not incorporate psychodynamic elements. Future studies could therefore consider integrating psychodynamic theories of consumer behaviour. Originality - Consumers in modern society are blinded by the overwhelming amount of marketing messages and often fail to distinguish their own desires from actual life needs. As a result, they purchase products they do not need, particularly in the context of clothing and fast fashion. This phenomenon leads to excessive consumption, the negative consequences evident at the societal level. A solution lies in promoting sustainable consumption of clothing, especially among adolescents, who represent a significant upcoming market segment with strong potential for shaping the future of society. Therefore, this paper explores the relationship between sustainable consumption of clothing among adolescents and marketing communication on social media, aiming to strengthen sustainable consumption globally, reduce the impact of fast fashion, and shape a sustainable future

    Cilj: Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je usporediti demografske, kliničke i laboratorijske karakteristike hospitaliziranih COVID-19 bolesnika s plućnom embolijom i bez nje. Metode: Provedeno je retrospektivno kohortno istraživanje. Nasumičnim odabirom analizirana je medicinska dokumentacija 100 COVID-19 bolesnika hospitaliziranih u razdoblju od 1.1. do 31.12.2021. godine, 50 bolesnika s plućnom embolijom, te 50 bolesnika bez nje. Rezultati: Većinu COVID-19 bolesnika činili su muškarci (60%), dok je plućna embolija bila učestalija u žena (57,5%). Medijan dobi bolesnika koji su razvili plućnu emboliju bio je viši u skupini bolesnika s plućnom embolijom, iako bez statistički značajne razlike. Pušenje kao navika bila je češća u osoba s embolijom, iako bez statistički značajne razlike dok su bolesnici bez embolije bili češće cijepljeni protiv COVID-19 u odnosu na one s embolijom, iako bez statistički značajne razlike. U 80% bolesnika bio je prisutan neki od komorbiditeta i to najčešće arterijska hipertenzija (62,5%). Antikoagulacijsku i/ili antiagregacijsku terapiju češće su imali bolesnici u kontrolnoj skupini, ali bez statistički značajne razlike. Leukociti, D-dimeri, trombociti i NT-proBNP bilježili su statistički značajno više vrijednosti u grupi bolesnika s embolijom. Medijan pojave plućne embolije bio je 11 dana od početka simptoma s najčešćim nalazom embolije, utvrđenim CT angiografijom, u segmentalnim ograncima (38%). Mehanička ventilacija češće je korištena u bolesnika s embolijom u kojih je zabilježen i veći broj smrtnih ishoda, iako bez statistički značajne razlike. Zaključak: Iako su bolesnici s plućnom embolijom bili češće ženskog spola i starije životne dobi, spol i dob nisu se značajno razlikovali među analiziranim skupinama. Bolesnici s plućnom embolijom imali su značajno više vrijednosti D-dimera, leukocita, trombocita i natriuretskog peptida u odnosu na ispitanike koji je nisu razvili. Plućna embolija bila je najčešće lokalizirana u segmentalnim ograncima plućnih arterija. Potreba za mehaničkom ventilacijom, te učestalost smrtnoga ishoda bila je češća u bolesnika s embolijom, ali bez značajne razlike

    Više od 60 % BDP-a Indonezije dolazi od mikro, malih i srednjih poduzeća (MSME-a), koja zapošljavaju značajan postotak radne snage u različitim industrijama. No, unatoč njihovom značajnom doprinosu, mnoga MSME-a suočavaju se s poteškoćama u pristupu formalnim financijskim uslugama i upravljanju financijama. Glavne prepreke njihovom rastu i održivosti su niska financijska pismenost i ograničena financijska uključenost. Niska financijska uključenost i financijska pismenost ometaju upravljanje i financijske rezultate MSME-a.Ovim se istraživanjemnastoji ispitati kako financijska uključenost i financijska pismenost utječu na financijske rezultate MSME-a u regiji Zapadnoj Nusa Tenggari (NTB) kroz prakse financijskog upravljanja. Korištena je kvantitativna metodologija istraživanja uz primjenu tehnike modeliranja strukturnih jednadžbi metodom najmanjih kvadrata (PLS-SEM). Podaci su prikupljeni anketiranjem 100 MSME-a u NTB-u.Rezultati su pokazali da financijska uključenost i financijska pismenost pozitivno i značajno utječu na ponašanje u financijskom upravljanju. Financijsko upravljanje i financijska uključenost pozitivno i značajno utječu na financijske rezultate. Međutim, financijska pismenost ima značajan negativan utjecaj na financijske rezultate. Ovaj jeodnos posredovan praksama financijskog upravljanja.More than 60% of Indonesia's GDP comes from Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs), which also employ a sizable percentage of the labor force across a range of industries. But even with their significant contribution, a lot of MSMEs struggle with access to formal financial services and financial management. The primary barriers to their expansion and sustainability are low financial literacy and restricted financial inclusion. The management and financial performance of MSMEs are hampered by low financial inclusion and financial literacy. Through financial management practices, this study seeks to examine how financial inclusion and financial literacy affect the financial performance of MSMEs in provience West Nusa Tenggara (NTB)in Indonesia. A quantitative approach using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique is the study methodology employed. A survey of 100 MSMEs in NTB was used to gather data. The findings demonstrated that financial management behavior is positively and significantly impacted by financial inclusion and financial literacy. Financial performance is positively and significantly impacted by financial management practices and financial inclusion. However, financial performance is significantly and negatively impacted by financial literacy. Furthermore, the relationship is mediated by financial management practices

    Grounded in a broader socio-cultural context, this article explores the impact of increasing job precarization and the instability of the labor market on the employment prospects of young people in Croatia. By combining a review of previous research with new data collected through a student survey conducted during the academic years 2024–2025, the study highlights both a gradual adaptation to the shifting employment landscape and a notable decline in expectations regarding job stability. Furthermore, the findings underscore a growing concern among students about their future financial security, suggesting that economic uncertainty is becoming a defining feature of youth transition into the labor market.Utemeljen na širem društvenom i kulturnom kontekstu članak se zanima za utjecaj sve veće prekarizacije poslova i nestabilnog tržišta rada na radne perspektive mladih u Hrvatskoj. Kroz kombinaciju pregleda dosadašnjih istraživanja i novih podataka prikupljenih anketom među studentima (2024.–2025.), istraživanje ukazuje na postupnu prilagodbu mogućnostima zapošljavanja, ali i na smanjenje očekivanja i zabrinutost za financijsku sigurnost

    The Atmosphere of the Library: An Autoethnography of the Everyday City

    No full text
    Ovaj rad istražuje ulogu knjižnice kao ključnog elementa svakodnevnog urbanog života, polazeći od koncepta trećeg mjesta i trećeg prostora te koristeći autoetnografiju kao metodološki okvir. Kroz osobnu naraciju autorica analizira kako knjižnica nadilazi svoju institucionalnu funkciju i postaje prostor socijalizacije, identifikacije, emocionalne sigurnosti i urbane ritmizacije. Knjižnica se promatra kao mikrokozmos svakodnevnog grada, prostor atmosfere, brige i trajanja gdje se kroz osjetilne doživljaje, rutinu i kolektivno pamćenje oblikuju osjećaji pripadnosti i kontinuiteta. Rad naglašava važnost knjižnice u očuvanju spontanosti i mekoće urbanog života, posebno u kontekstu ubrzanja i digitalizacije. Atmosfera knjižnice interpretira se kao temeljna dimenzija urbanog postojanja, omogućujući korisnicima predah, susret i tišinu unutar fragmentirane svakodnevice. Autoetnografski pristup otvara prostor za razumijevanje knjižnice kao emocionalnog i socijalnog sidrišta, mjesta gdje grad postaje osoban, dostupan i dovoljno dobar za življenje.Taking the concepts of the third place and third space as its starting point, and taking autoethnography as its methodological framework, this paper explores the role of the library as a key element in everyday urban life. The author uses a personal narrative analysis to explore how the library transcends its institutional function, becoming a space of socialization, identification, emotional security and urban rhythmization. The library is examined as a microcosm of the everyday city, a space of atmosphere, care and duration, where feelings of belonging and continuity are shaped through sensory experiences, routine and collective memory. The article emphasizes the importance of the library in preserving the spontaneity and softness of urban life, especially as a result of accelerated living and digitalization. The atmosphere of the library is interpreted as a fundamental dimension of urban existence, providing its users with a chance to have a rest, meet others and experience silence in their fragmented everyday life. The autoethnographic approach allows interpreting the library as an emotional and social anchor, a place where the city becomes personal, accessible and good enough to live in

    BALANCING EMPLOYER AND WORKER INTERESTS IN ORGANISING WORKING TIME WITHIN THE ENTERPRISE: FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SLOVENIAN AND EU LABOUR LAW

    No full text
    The objective of this article is to emphasise the complexity of organising working time at the company level in light of the new work-life balance (WLB) concept. The author aims to highlight the significance of both European and national legislations, as well as autonomous legal sources that regulate working time, and their practical application, which is in employers’ domain. Employers are responsible for transposing the specific characteristics of their work processes into the organisation of working time. Today, such organisation is fundamentally marked by a qualitative approach, meaning employers must also consider the interests of employees. In modern labour law, workers have the right to achieve a balance between private and professional life, with the concept of private life extending beyond the family and its associated obligations
