    Turizam se dugo vremena smatrao industrijom koja nosi neprimjetan utjecaj na okoliš zbog čega se nije smatralo potrebnim mjeriti njegove negativne ekološke, sociokulturne i ekonomske posljedice. Kao rezultat toga, mnoge su zemlje intenzivno ulagale u povećanje turističkih dolazaka i razvoj infrastrukture potrebne za njihov smještaj. Tek sredinom sedamdesetih godina počelo se ozbiljnije razmatrati o ekološkom, gospodarskom i sociokulturnom utjecaju turizma. Sukladno tome, razvijaju se mnoge nove vrste i oblici turizma. Manifestacijski turizam predstavlja jedan od specifičnih oblika kojim se može upravljati kako bi se destinacija održivo razvijala. Sinj se smatra prikladnim za razvoj manifestacijskog turizma zbog dobre prakse i jer raspolaže odgovarajućom resursnom osnovom. U razvoju održivog turizma, ključnu ulogu imaju destinacije u nastajanju. Turističke destinacije u nastajanju imaju priliku da na vrijeme implementiraju načela održivog razvoja te na taj način postignu konkurentnu prednost na tržištu te istovremeno pružati priliku za bolji život lokalnom stanovništvu i posjetiteljima. U Hrvatskoj ih ima mnogo, a one koje valja istaknuti i koje su slične Gradu Sinju su otok Lastovo i Baranja. Kako bi se dalo odgovor na istraživačka pitanja, proveden je intervju s 5 organizatora različitih događaja u Gradu Sinju. Istraživačka pitanja su: Koje su mogućnosti i ograničenja razvoja manifestacijskog turizma prema konceptu održivog razvoja u gradu Sinju? i Kako postupati u organizaciji postojećih i budućih događaja kako bi se destinacija održivo razvijala? Nakon provedenog istraživanja došlo se do zaključka da postoje brojne mogućnosti, ali i neka ograničenja kako bi se manifestacijski turizam održivo razvijao. Osim toga, dane su smjernice za daljnji razvoj.Tourism had long been considered an industry with minimal impact on the environment, which is why it was not considered necessary to measure its negative ecological, sociocultural, and economic consequences. As a result, many countries invested heavily in increasing tourist arrivals and developing the infrastructure needed to accommodate them. It was only in the mid1970s that more serious consideration began to be given to the environmental, economic, and sociocultural impact of tourism. Consequently, many new types and forms of tourism have been developed. Event tourism represents one of the specific forms that can be managed in a way that supports the sustainable development of a destination. Sinj is considered suitable for the development of event tourism due to its good practices and because it possesses an adequate resource base. In the development of sustainable tourism, emerging destinations play a key role. Emerging tourist destinations have the opportunity to implement the principles of sustainable development in a timely manner, thereby gaining a competitive advantage in the market while also providing an improved quality of life for both local residents and visitors. There are many such destinations in Croatia, and those worth highlighting and similar to the City of Sinj are the island of Lastovo and the region of Baranja. In order to answer the research questions, an interview was conducted with five organizers of various events in the City of Sinj. The research questions are: What are the opportunities and limitations for the development of event tourism in accordance with the concept of sustainable development in the City of Sinj? and How should existing and future events be organized to enable the sustainable development of the destination? After the research was conducted, it was concluded that there are numerous opportunities but also some limitations to the sustainable development of event tourism. Additionally, guidelines for further development were provided

    Este trabajo investiga el universo artístico de Dau al Set, un grupo de jóvenes creadores que, en plena posguerra española y bajo el peso del primer franquismo, supieron mantener encendida la llama del arte, la libertad y la imaginación. En un contexto marcado por la represión, la censura y la miseria - especialmente en Cataluña, donde incluso la lengua catalana fue perseguida, estos artistas se atrevieron a soñar y a crear desde el desacuerdo estético. La revista Dau al Set, lejos de ser solo una publicación, fue un acto de resistencia simbólica y creativa. Con influencias del surrealismo, el dadaísmo, el arte primitivo y la música popular como el jazz, sus páginas reunieron imágenes e ideas que desafiaban el conservadurismo cultural impuesto por el régimen. A través de la libertad formal, la mezcla de lenguas y la experimentación artística, sus integrantes entre ellos Joan Brossa, Antoni Tàpies y Joan Josep Tharrats— encontraron en el arte un refugio y una forma de protesta silenciosa, pero poderosa. Este estudio también aborda el entorno social y político de la época, incluyendo hechos clave como la huelga general de Barcelona en 1951, que evidenció el creciente malestar social y la capacidad de organización de una ciudadanía harta de la dictadura. Este contexto de lucha y resistencia impregnó la obra de Dau al Set, convirtiendo cada número de la revista en un grito sutil, pero firme, a favor de la dignidad y la libertad. A través del análisis de la estética de la revista, las trayectorias individuales de sus miembros y el impacto de su producción colectiva, este trabajo busca dar visibilidad a una etapa fundamental del arte contemporáneo español. También se examinan las razones de la disolución del grupo, y la continuidad del legado a través de figuras como Tharrats, que siguió publicando en solitario tras la desaparición de la revista. Recordar hoy a Dau al Set no es solo mirar hacia atrás; es reconocer el poder del arte como resistencia, como consuelo y como posibilidad de transformación en los momentos más oscuros de la historia.Ovaj rad istražuje umjetnički svemir Dau al Seta, skupine mladih umjetnika koji su usred španjolskog poslijeratnog razdoblja i pod teretom prvog Francovog režima, znali kako održati plamen umjetnosti, slobode i mašte živim. U kontekstu obilježenom represijom, cenzurom i siromaštvom - posebno u Kataloniji, gdje je čak i katalonski jezik bio progonjen - ovi su se umjetnici usudili sanjati i stvarati iz estetskog neslaganja. Časopis Dau al Set, daleko od toga da je bio samo publikacija, bio je čin simboličkog i kreativnog otpora. Pod utjecajem nadrealizma, dadaizma, primitivne umjetnosti i popularne glazbe poput jazza, njegove su stranice okupljale slike i ideje koje su osporavale kulturni konzervativizam koji je nametnuo režim. Kroz formalnu slobodu, miješanje jezika i umjetničko eksperimentiranje, njegovi su članovi - među njima Joan Brossa, Antoni Tàpies i Joan Josep Tharrats - u umjetnosti pronašli utočište i oblik tihog, ali snažnog prosvjeda. Ovo istraživanje također se bavi društvenim i političkim okruženjem tog vremena, uključujući ključne događaje poput generalnog štrajka u Barceloni 1951. godine, koji je istaknuo rastuće društvene nemire i organizacijske kapacitete građana sitih diktature. Taj kontekst borbe i otpora prožimao je rad Dau al Seta, pretvarajući svaki broj časopisa u suptilan, ali odlučan vapaj za dostojanstvom i slobodom. Kroz analizu estetike časopisa, individualnih putanja njegovih članova i utjecaja njihovog kolektivnog rada, ovaj rad nastoji istaknuti temeljno razdoblje u španjolskoj suvremenoj umjetnosti. Također ispituje razloge raspada grupe i kontinuitet njezine ostavštine kroz figure poput Tharratsa, koji je nastavio samostalno objavljivati nakon prestanka rada časopisa. Sjećanje na Dau al Seta danas nije samo osvrtanje unatrag; radi se o prepoznavanju moći umjetnosti kao otpora, kao utjehe i kao mogućnosti za transformaciju u najmračnijim trenucima povijesti.This work explores the artistic universe of Dau al Set, a group of young artists who, in the midst of the Spanish postwar period and under the weight of the first Franco regime, knew how to keep the flame of art, freedom, and imagination alive. In a context marked by repression, censorship, and poverty—especially in Catalonia, where even the Catalan language was persecuted—these artists dared to dream and create from aesthetic disagreement. The magazine Dau al Set, far from being merely a publication, was an act of symbolic and creative resistance. Influenced by surrealism, Dadaism, primitive art, and popular music such as jazz, its pages brought together images and ideas that challenged the cultural conservatism imposed by the regime. Through formal freedom, the blending of languages, and artistic experimentation, its members—among them Joan Brossa, Antoni Tàpies, and Joan Josep Tharrats—found in art a refuge and a form of silent but powerful protest. This study also addresses the social and political environment of the time, including key events such as the 1951 Barcelona general strike, which highlighted the growing social unrest and the organizational capacity of a citizenry fed up with the dictatorship. This context of struggle and resistance permeated the work of Dau al Set, transforming each issue of the magazine into a subtle but resolute cry for dignity and freedom. Through an analysis of the magazine's aesthetics, the individual trajectories of its members, and the impact of their collective output, this work seeks to highlight a fundamental period in Spanish contemporary art. It also examines the reasons for the group's dissolution and the continuity of its legacy through figures such as Tharrats, who continued publishing solo after the magazine's demise. Remembering Dau al Set today is not just about looking back; it is about recognizing the power of art as resistance, as consolation, and as a possibility for transformation in the darkest moments of history

    Strah od javnog nastupa danas je učestala pojava te se smatra oblikom socijalne anksioznosti. Strah se javlja uslijed osjećaja i očekivanja da će možda doći do negativnog ocjenjivanja od strane publike, odnosno promatrača ili do poniženja. Na strah od javnog nastupa mogu utjecati stavovi osobe, temperament, vlastita iskustva s javnim govorom i osobine ličnosti. Najistaknutiji među modelima ličnosti je petofaktorski model, koji obuhvaća pet ključnih dimenzija: ekstraverziju, ugodnost, savjesnost, neuroticizam (odnosno emocionalnu stabilnost) te otvorenost prema iskustvu (ili intelekt). S obzirom na moguću povezanost osobina ličnosti sa strahom od javnog nastupa, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos između crta ličnosti i straha od javnog nastupa kod studenata prve godine prijediplomskog te prve godine diplomskog studija. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 112 studenata, od toga 101 žena i 11 muškaraca, prosječne dobi 21.54, s tim da je najmlađi sudionik imao 18 godina, a najstariji 29. U istraživanju su korišteni sljedeći instrumenti: Goldbergov upitnik za mjerenje pet velikih dimenzija ličnosti (IPIP) (Goldberg, 1999) i Skala govorničkog samopouzdanja (Ćubela Adorić i sur., 2006). U istraživanju je utvrđena statistički značajna negativna povezanost između ekstraverzije, savjesnosti i emocionalne stabilnosti te straha od javnog nastupa; sudionici koji imaju izraženije crte ekstraverzije, savjesnosti i emocionalne stabilnosti imaju manji strah od javnog nastupa i obrnuto. Nije utvrđena statistički značajna povezanost između ugodnosti i intelekta te straha od javnog nastupa. Isto tako, nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika u strahu od javnog nastupa između studenata prve godine prijediplomskog i studenata prve godine diplomskog studijaPublic speaking anxiety is a common occurrence today and is considered a form of social anxiety. The fear arises due to feelings and expectations that there may be a negative evaluation by the audience, or bystanders, or some kind of humiliation. Public speaking anxiety can be influenced by a person's attitudes, temperament, own experiences with public speaking and personality. The most prominent among personality models is the five-factor model, which includes five key dimensions: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism (or emotional stability), and openness to experience (or intellect). Given the possible connection between personality traits and public speaking anxiety, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between personality traits and public speaking anxiety in first-year undergraduate and first-year graduate students. This study involved 112 students, 101 whom were women and 11 were men, with average age of 21.54, with the youngest participant being 18, and the oldest 29. The following instruments were used: IPIP Scales measuring the big-five domains (Goldberg, 1999) and The public speaking Confidence Scale (Ćubela Adorić i sur., 2006). The study found a statistically significant negative correlation between extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability and public speaking anxiety; participants who had more pronounced traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability had less public speaking anxiety and vice versa. No statistically significant correlation was found between agreeableness and intellect and public speaking anxiety. Likewise, no statistically significant difference was found in public speaking anxiety between first-year undergraduate and first-year graduate students

    Ideja je istražiti pojam usuglašavanja kao polazišnu točku prosudbe, a prosudbu kao postupak uspostave konsenzusa analizirati, naglašavajući značaj i relevantnost refleksivne prosudbe kod Kanta u pogledu svrhovitosti. S obzirom na relativističku dimenziju prosudbe, potrebno je detaljno analizirati sve moguće odrednice plauzibilnost metodološkog prosuđivanja što bi u središte ponovo vratilo svojevrstan ideal objektivnosti koji je napušten zbog relativizacije kantovske apriornosti. Zbog toga je u procesu razumijevanja, objašnjenja i interpretacije znanstvenih teorija relevantnost prosudbe važan čimbenik na temelju kojeg je dalje moguća uspostava konsenzusa u argumentaciji znanstvene i akademske zajednice. Cilj je pronaći vjerodostojnu polazišnu točku, odnosno doći do legitimacije konsenzusa znanstvene zajednice i postaviti ga kao ispravan put prema znanstvenoj metodologiji, pri čemu se velike nade polažu u Kantov pojam sensus communisa.The idea is to explore the concept of agreement as a starting point of judgment, and to analyze judgment as a process of establishing consensus, emphasizing the importance and relevance of reflective judgment in Kant. With regard to the relativistic dimension of judgment, it is necessary to analyze in detail all possible determinants of the credibility of methodological judgment, which would return to the center some kind of ideal of objectivity that was abandoned due to the relativization of Kantian a priori. For this reason, in the process of understanding, explaining and interpreting scientific theories, the relevance of the judgment is an important factor on the basis of which it is possible to establish a consensus in the argumentation of the scientific and academic community. The goal is to find a credible starting point, that is, to legitimize the consensus of the scientific community and set it as the correct path towards scientific methodology, with great hopes placed in Kant's notion of sensus communis

    U diplomskom radu istražuje se potencijal građanske znanosti u kontekstu istraživanja, očuvanja i popularizacije glagoljske baštine putem kampanja masovne podrške koje su se provodile u Centru za istraživanje glagoljaštva Sveučilišta u Zadru u sklopu projekta Javna znanost u području glagoljaštva: od crowdsoucinga do znanja. Cilj rada je opisati način organizacije kampanja masovne podrške u području glagoljskih rukopisa te arhiva. Takav opis uključivao je utvrđivanje prikladne digitalne infrastrukture za provođenje aktivnosti transliteracije glagoljskih rukopisa i utvrđivanje načina odabira prikladnog korpusa za kampanju masovne podrške koji će omogućiti uspješnost kampanja. Nadalje, cilj je utvrditi korisnost i dobrobiti takvih kampanja za javnost te za arhive i druge baštinske ustanove. Metoda istraživanja jest studija slučaja utemeljena na tri kampanje provedene u Centru za istraživanje glagoljaštva Sveučilišta u Zadru u suradnji s Arhivom Zadarske nadbiskupije i Državnim arhivom u Zadru. Kroz osiguranu digitalnu platformu GlagoLab i uz pomoć Transkribus alata za automatsko prepoznavanje, transkripciju i pretraživanje povijesnih dokumenata, omogućena je transliteracija glagoljskih rukopisa. Građani amateri su na taj način uključeni u znanstveno istraživanje kao ravnopravni sudionici u čemu je vidljiva praksa građanske znanosti. Rezultati kampanja pokazali su visok interes i angažman lokalne javnosti koji su omogućili transliteraciju više od 200 stranica glagoljskih rukopisa. Opisan je način organizacije kampanja masovne podrške, a utvrđena je i njihova korist za javnost i baštinske ustanove. Utvrđeno je kako su amateri svojim sudjelovanjem ostvarili niz obrazovnih koristi i razvili nove istraživačke i tehničke vještine dok su arhivi i baštinske ustanove korist ostvarili kroz povećanje njihove vidljivosti, podršku u provođenju redovitih djelatnosti te unaprijeđenju postojećih usluga.This thesis explores the potential of citizen science in the context of researching, preserving, and popularizing Glagolitic heritage through crowd-supported campaigns conducted at the Center for Glagolitic Studies at the University of Zadar, as part of the project Public Science in the Field of Glagolitic Studies: From Crowdsourcing to Knowledge. The aim of this work is to describe the organization of crowd-supported campaigns focused on Glagolitic manuscripts and archives. This description includes determining the appropriate digital infrastructure for conducting transcription activities on Glagolitic manuscripts and establishing a method for selecting a suitable corpus for the crowd-supported campaign to ensure its success. Furthermore, the goal is to assess the usefulness and benefits of such campaigns for the public, as well as for archives and other heritage institutions. The research method is a case study based on three campaigns conducted at the Centre for Glagolitic Studies at the University of Zadar in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Zadar Archives and the State Archives in Zadar. Through the GlagoLab digital platform and the use of Transkribus, a tool for automatic recognition, transcription, and search of historical documents, the transcription of Glagolitic manuscripts was facilitated. In this way, amateur citizens were engaged in scientific research as equal participants, demonstrating the practice of citizen science. The results of the campaigns indicated high interest and engagement from the local public, enabling the transcription of over 200 pages of Glagolitic manuscripts. The organization of the crowd-supported campaigns is described, as well as their benefits for the public and heritage institutions. It was found that amateur participants gained a range of educational benefits and developed new research and technical skills, while archives and heritage institutions benefited through increased visibility, support in regular activities, and the improvement of existing service

    Multipli mijelom je zloćudna hematološka bolest koja najčešće pogađa osobe starije životne dobi, s prosječnom dobi dijagnoze od 70 godina. Bolest se karakterizira nekontroliranom proliferacijom plazma stanica u koštanoj srži, što uzrokuje komplikacije poput koštanih lezija, anemije, bubrežnih disfunkcija i imunoloških poremećaja. Osobe starije životne dobi suočavaju se s posebnim izazovima zbog prisutnih komorbiditeta i smanjene tolerancije na intenzivne terapije. Liječenje uključuje kemoterapiju, imunomodulacijske lijekove, proteasomske inhibitore, terapiju zračenjem, te transplantaciju matičnih stanica. Kod osoba starije životne dobi često se primjenjuje prilagođeni terapijski pristup kako bi se smanjila toksičnost liječenja. Palijativna skrb je također važna za ublažavanje simptoma i poboljšanje kvalitete života. Razumijevanje specifičnih potreba osoba starije životne dobi i primjena individualiziranog pristupa ključni su za uspješno upravljanje ovom složenom bolešću. Medicinske sestre imaju važnu ulogu u skrbi za osobe starije životne dobi s multiplim mijelomom, pružajući sveobuhvatnu skrb koja obuhvaća pripremu za dijagnostičke i terapijske postupke, praćenje simptoma poput boli, umora, infekcija te emocionalnu podršku. S obzirom na krhkost i prisutnost komorbiditeta kod osoba starije životne dobi, medicinske sestre prilagođavaju planove zdravstvene njege, često u suradnji s multidisciplinarnim timom, kako bi smanjile nuspojave i očuvale kvalitetu života. Edukacija bolesnika i obitelji o bolesti, terapiji i samopomoći važna je za bolje razumijevanje bolesti i veće sudjelovanje u liječenju. Holistički pristup, koji uključuje fizičku, emocionalnu i socijalnu skrb, pomaže bolesnicima da se nose s izazovima koje donosi multipli mijelom, osiguravajući im bolju kvalitetu života i dostojanstvo tijekom liječenja.Multiple myeloma is a malignant hematologic disease that mostly affects older people, with the average age at diagnosis being 70 years. The disease is characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow, which leads to complications such as bone damage, anemia, kidney dysfunction and immune disorders. Older patients face particular challenges due to concomitant diseases and a lower tolerance to intensive therapies. Treatment includes chemotherapy, immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation. In older patients, an adapted therapeutic approach is often used to reduce the toxicity of the treatment. Palliative care is also essential to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Understanding the specific needs of elderly patients and taking an individualized approach is key to effectively managing this complex disease. Nurses and medical assistants play a crucial role in the care of elderly patients with multiple myeloma, providing comprehensive care that includes diagnostics, therapy and emotional support. Their tasks include monitoring symptoms such as pain, fatigue and infections, and adapting therapy to the patient's needs. Given the frailty and co-morbidities of older people, nurses and medical technical assistants adapt treatment plans, often in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, to reduce side effects and maintain patients' quality of life. Educating patients and their families about the disease, therapy and self-care is crucial for a better understanding of the disease and greater involvement in treatment. A holistic approach that includes physical, emotional and social care helps patients to overcome the challenges of multiple myeloma and ensures a better quality of life and dignity during treatment

    Cilj ovoga rad je bio opisati ulogu postmaterijalizma u formiranju stavova studenata o poduzetništvu. Definicija i koncepcija postmaterijalizma je građena prema teorijskom okviru Ronalda Ingleharta. Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću online ankete, na studentima Sveučilišta u Zadru (N=152). Uzorak se sastojao pretežito od studentica (N=105) i manjeg udjela studenata (N=45). Utvrđeno je da veliki postotak studenata zanima pokretanje vlastitog posla (71%). Glavna motivacija studenata za pokretanje vlastitog posla je mogućnost zarade. Studenti ističu odsutnost početnog kapitala kao najveću prepreku pri otvaranju vlastitog posla. Centralni nalaz ovog istraživanja jest izostanak povezanosti postmaterijalističkih vrijednosti sa interesom za pokretanje vlastitog posla. Prema dobivenim podacima, studenti koji više vrednuju materijalističke vrijednosti su značajno više zainteresirani za pokretanje vlastitog posla. Ovaj nalaz upućuje na veći fenomen koji definira odnos između mladih i poduzetništva. Točnije, upućuje da mladi imaju materijalističko shvaćanje poduzetništva.The aim of this paper was to describe the role of postmaterialism in shaping students attitudes towards entrepreneurship. The definition and concept of postmaterialism is built according to Ronald Inglehart's theoretical framework. The research was conducted using an online survey, that was distributed among students of the University of Zadar (N=152). The sample consisted mainly of female students (N=105) and a smaller proportion of male students (N=45). It was found that a large percentage of students are interested in starting their own company (71%). The main motivation of students for starting their own company is the possibility of earning money. Students find lack of initial capital as their biggest obstacle to starting their own business. The central finding of this research is the lack of influence of postmaterialist values on interest in starting their own company. According to the obtained data, students who value materialist values more are significantly more interested in starting their own company. This finding indicates at a larger phenomenon thata shapes the relationship between youth and entrepreneurship. More precisely, it indicates that youth has a materialistic view of entrepreneurship

    Ovaj rad afirmira važnost parakonzistencije pri istraživanju paradoksa i kontradikcija, a s naglaskom na nedosljedne teorije kako bi se proučavale bez posljedice trivijaliziranja. Cilj rada je razumijevanje parakonzistentne logike, te prikaz relevantnosti takvog sustava u usporedbi s klasičnom logikom i njenim principima. Također se pokušava razumjeti koju ulogu parakonzistencija ima u drugim znanostima i disciplinama, posebice u fizici, lingvistici, kvantnoj mehanici, umjetnoj inteligenciji i etici. Prikazuju se i načini na koji se relevantni filozofi pozivaju na klasičnu logiku i kako argumentiraju razlike između formalnih i devijantnih logika. Rad apelira na usmjeravanje interesa na ove teme u kontekstu hrvatske logike, i općenito budućih istraživanja u ovim područjima.This paper affirms the importance of paraconsistency in the study of paradoxes and contradictions, with an emphasis on inconsistent theories that can be examined without the consequence of trivialization. The goal of the paper is to understand paraconsistent logic and to present the relevance of such a system in comparison to classical logic and its principles. Additionally, it attempts to explore the role of paraconsistency in other sciences and disciplines, particularly in physics, linguistics, quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence, and ethics. The paper also discusses how relevant philosophers refer to classical logic and argue the differences between formal and deviant logics. It calls for a focus on these topics within the context of Croatian logic and, more generally, future research in forementioned domains

    Ovaj rad istražuje primjenu generativnih AI alata u dizajnu i razvoju korisničkih sučelja na webu. AI alati obuhvaćaju softverske sustave koji koriste tehnike strojnog učenja i obrade podataka kako bi automatizirano izvršavali zadatke ili generirali nove sadržaje. Poseban naglasak stavlja se na njihovu sposobnost stvaranja novih podataka temeljenih na obrascima temelju iz postojećih podataka. Tako značajno unaprjeđuju efikasnost i kreativnost korisnika. Cilj ovog rada je analizirati i razumjeti primjene umjetne inteligencije u razvoju korisničkog sučelja (UI) na webu. U svrhu rada, provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje putem upitnika postavljenog na različite društvene mreže s ciljem analize načina korištenja generativnih AI alata u svakodnevnim zadacima te istraživanja prednosti i nedostataka njihove primjene. Sudjelovali su ispitanici iz različitih sektora IT-a, s raznolikim razinama iskustva i dobnim skupinama. Istraživanje ukazuje na ključne prednosti korištenja AI alata, poput inovativnog pristupa u dizajnu i razvoju web sučelja, ubrzanja razvojnog procesa, poboljšanja korisničkog iskustva te stvaranja originalnih dizajnerskih rješenja. Čak 39 % ispitanika integriralo je AI alate u svoje svakodnevne radne procese, dok je oko 45 % izrazilo zadovoljstvo njihovim korištenjem, ističući poboljšanje produktivnosti i kreativnosti dok je ostalih 55 % izrazilo zabrinutost zbog pouzdanosti i etičnosti ovih sustava ili su ostali neutralni. Rezultati naglašavaju potencijal AI tehnologija u unapređenju dizajnerskih procesa, ali i potrebu za pažljivim razmatranjem njihovih ograničenja i izazova.This paper explores the application of generative AI tools in the design and development of web user interfaces. AI tools encompass software systems that utilize machine learning techniques and data processing to autonomously perform tasks or generate new content. Special emphasis is placed on their ability to create new data based on patterns derived from existing data. In this way, they significantly enhance user efficiency and creativity. The aim of this paper is to analyze and understand the applications of artificial intelligence in the development of web user interfaces (UI). For the purposes of the study, empirical research was conducted through a questionnaire distributed across various social networks to analyze how generative AI tools are used in everyday tasks and to explore the advantages and disadvantages of their application. The respondents came from different sectors of the IT industry, with diverse levels of experience and age groups. The research highlights key benefits of using AI tools, such as an innovative approach to web interface design and development, acceleration of the development process, improvement of user experience, and creation of original design solutions. As many as 39% of respondents have integrated AI tools into their daily workflows, while approximately 45% expressed satisfaction with their use, emphasizing improvements in productivity and creativity. The remaining 55% expressed concerns about the reliability and ethics of these systems or remained neutral. The results underscore the potential of AI technologies to enhance design processes, but also highlight the need for careful consideration of their limitations and challenges

Promatrano je razdoblje od 2016. do 2023. godine, tijekom kojeg je utvrđeno stanje zemljišnog pokrova. Na temelju povijesnih snimaka iz Google Earth Pro izrađen je referentni katastar promjena zemljišnog pokrova. Ručnom vektorizacijom ukupno je kartirano 106 promjena LULC-a (engl. Land Use and Land Cover) koje su se dogodile na otoku Pagu u proučavanom razdoblju. Provedenom analizom ustanovljeno je da je najzastupljenija klasa Goli krš/krš plitko tlo, koja bilježi blagi porast u odnosu na 2016. godinu. U Gradu Novalji, u istraživanom razdoblju, apsolutnom promjenom dominiraju Sukcesija druge faze i Degradacija vegetacije. Sukcesija vegetacije manifestira se kroz brojne, ali prostorno fragmentirane i površinski male elemente, raspršene po cijelom području istraživanja. Međutim, najizraženiji tip promjene je urbanizacija. Elementi povezani s urbanizacijom znatno su rjeđi, ali prostorno koncentrirani te jasno vezani uz specifične infrastrukturne intervencije, poput izgradnje kampova, prometnica i drugih zahvata u prostoru. Prema tipovima i trendovima, uočene su značajne promjene u zastupljenosti zemljišnog pokrova, koje su posljedica prirodnih procesa i antropogenih utjecaja, s naglaskom na intenzivan razvoj turizma.The primary objective of this thesis is to identify recent changes in land cover on the island of Pag. The study focuses on the period from 2016 to 2023, during which land cover conditions were assessed. A reference cadastre of land cover changes was created based on historical imagery from Google Earth Pro. Using manual vectorization, a total of 106 LULC (Land Use and Land Cover) changes were mapped on the island of Pag during the studied period. The analysis revealed that the most prevalent class is Bare Karst/Shallow Karst Soil, which has slightly increased since 2016. In the town of Novalja, the most significant changes in absolute terms are Vegetation succession, second phase and Vegetation Degradation. Vegetation succession is characterized by numerous, spatially fragmented, and small-scale elements scattered across the study area. However, the most prominent type of change is urbanization. Urbanization-related elements are less frequent but spatially concentrated and closely associated with specific infrastructural interventions, such as the construction of campsites, roads, and other spatial developments. Based on the types and trends observed, significant land cover changes are evident, driven by natural processes and anthropogenic influences, with a particular emphasis on the intensive development of tourism
