Hittite Art of War
No full textOvaj rad se bavi primarno utjecajem vojske na hetitsko društvo i načinom njena djelovanja. Dakako, kako bi se dao širi kontekst ovoj temi, obrađuje se i problematika otkrivanja hetitske civilizacije, njihovo pismo i jezik te se daje sažeta povijest Hetita. Glavni dio rada sagledava različite aspekte vojske i rata, od tema poput ideologije koja je pokretala rat, preko ustrojstva vojske do vojne opreme. Sveukupno kroz ovaj rad se nastoje analizirati različiti aspekti vojnog umijeća koji su Hetitima omogućili da postanu velika vojna sila tijekom brončanog doba.Main theme of this paper is the influence army had on the society of Hittites and how that army functioned. However, to add wider context to the main topic, this paper first discusses discovery of the Hittite civilization, decipherment of their writing and language and the brief history of Hittites. Main part of this paper considers different themes related to army and war, from ideology that instigated wars, to organization of the army and military equipment. Overall, this paper aims to analyse different aspects of Hittite art of war that enabled them to become major military power of the Bronze Age
Terrorism as a form of social movement
No full textCilj ovog rada je utvrditi mogućnost primjene teorija društvenih pokreta na slučajeve terorizma kao i potencijale sinteze teorija realizma i konstruktivizma kao analitičkog okvira za razmatranje terorizma. U prvom dijelu rada autor je nastojao što jasnije definirati svaki od teorijskih pristupa u svrhu postizanja što veće analitičke preciznosti. Nastavno na teorijske analize i formulacije analitičkog okvira, autor je proveo sadržajnu analizu postojećih definicija terorizma i društvenih pokreta. Potom je proveo ekstrahiranje najučestalijih elemenata definicija koji se pojavljuju u oba slučaja te definirao u kojim se to bitnim elementima ova dva pojma podudaraju i razlikuju. Na temelju istraživanja utvrđeno je da se društveni pokreti u svom definicijskom određenju sadržanom u pet najučestalijih elemenata, bitno razlikuju od terorizma. Točnije, jedina zajednička komponenta koja se nalazi u oba slučaja je element promjene. Zaključno, utvrđeno je da terorizam i društveni pokreti u širem definicijskom smislu mogu imati određene zajedničke karakteristike, dok u kontekstu užih definicija koje sadržavaju pet najučestalijih elemenata, osim elementa promjene, ne postoje zajedničke komponente. No definicije društvenih pokreta ne isključuju nasilje ni kao resurs niti kao dio identiteta. Iz svega navedenog, utvrđeno je da ne postoji definicijsko određenje koje implicitno sprječava mogućnost primjene teorija društvenih pokreta na slučajeve terorizma. Nastavno na teorijska razmatranja, autor je prikazao studije slučaja terorizma u Ukrajini, Palestini i Sjevernoj Irskoj. Analizom je utvrđeno da je u većoj ili manjoj mjeri dilema nesigurnosti bila prisutna u sva tri analizirana slučaja. Terorizam i društveni pokreti se razlikuju u definicijskom smislu, a te su različitosti uvelike sadržane u određenjima antipokreta ali i dijelom kvalitativnih određenja novih društvenih pokreta. To razlikovanje je bilo izraženo u sva tri analizirana slučaja, odnosno sva tri slučaja imaju određene elemente pokreta ali i antipokreta i u toj mjeri se bitno razlikuju. Primjenom teorija mobilizacije resursa, političkog oportuniteta i uokvirenja autor je utvrdio kako navedene teorije adekvatno objašnjavaju nastanak i dinamiku razvoja terorizma i samim time su primjenjive na slučajeve terorizma. U procesnom smislu ni jedna od tri teorije društvenih pokreta izolirano ne daje adekvatan uvid u dinamiku razvija terorizma, već je za potpuni uvid potrebno razmatranje putem sve tri teorije koje razmatraju resurse, strukturu i identitet. U sva tri slučaja ideje i ljudi su bili temeljni preduvjet, ali su države i geopolitika odredili okvire i smjerove razvoja situacije. Pokret je prije svega nositelj identiteta i promjene temeljene na tom identitetu, ali međuodnos dostupnosti resursa i strukturnih čimbenika uvjetuju njegovu snagu i djelovanje. Sva tri analizirana slučaja su nositelji identiteta koji strateški racionaliziraju svoje djelovanje. Na temelju napravljene teorijske analize i analize studija slučaja, autor je zaključio kako terorizam nije društveni pokret, ali ima određene elemente i može se razmatrati kao forma društvenog pokreta, kojeg u okvirima međunarodnih odnosa adekvatno objašnjava teorija realističkog konstruktivizma.The aim of this work is to determine the possibility of applying the theories of social movements to cases of terrorism as well as the potential of the synthesis of the theories of realism and constructivism as an analytical framework for considering terrorism. In the first part of the paper, the author seeked to define each of the theoretical approaches as clearly as possible in order to achieve the highest level of analytical precision. Following the theoretical analysis and formulations of the analytical framework, the author conducted a substantive analysis of the existing definitions of terrorism and social movements. He then extracted the most frequent elements of the definitions that appear in both cases and defined in which essential elements these two terms match and differ. Based on the research, it was established that social movements as defined by the five most frequent elements differ significantly from terrorism. More precisely, the only common component found in both cases is the element of change. In conclusion, it was established that terrorism and social movements in a broader definitional sense may have certain common characteristics, while in the context of narrower definitions containing the five most frequent elements, there are no common components, apart from the element of change. However, the definitions of social movements do not exclude violence either as a resource or as a part of identity. From all of the above, it was determined that there is no definition that implicitly prevents the possibility of applying theories of social movements to cases of terrorism. Following the theoretical considerations, the author presented case studies of terrorism in Ukraine, Palestine and Northern Ireland. The analysis determined that to a greater or lesser extent, the insecurity dilemma was present in all three analyzed cases. Terrorism and social movements differ in terms of definition, and these differences are largely contained in the definitions of antimovements, but also partly in the qualitative definitions of new social movements. This distinction was expressed in all three analyzed cases, that is, all three cases have certain elements of the movement but also of the antimovement, and to that extent they differ significantly. By applying the theories of resource mobilization, political opportunity and framing, the author found that the aforementioned theories adequately explain the origin and dynamics of the development of terrorism and are therefore applicable to cases of terrorism. In the procedural sense, seaparately, none of the three theories of social movements provide an adequate insight into the dynamics of the development of terrorism. A full insight requires synoptic analyses through all three theories that consider resources, structure and identity. In all three cases, ideas and people were the basic prerequisite, but states and geopolitics determined the framework and direction of the development of the situation. The movement is first and foremost the bearer of identity and changes based on that identity, but the interrelationship between the availability of resources and structural factors determines its strength and action. All three analyzed subjects are identity carriers who strategically rationalize their actions. Based both on the theoretical and case study analysis, the author concluded that terrorism is not a social movement, but it has certain elements and can be analyzed as a form of social movement, which, within the framework of international relations, is adequately explained by the theory of realistic constructivism
Communication with the Media in Crisis Situations
No full textPoznavanje moguće krizne situacije u vlastitom okruženju predstavlja prvi korak u postupanju s posljedicama iste. Kako bi se zemlja i njezini građani mogla adekvatno pripremiti i postupati u kriznoj situaciji mediji su od velike važnosti. Dobro organizirana i izvršena prevencija krizne situacije, te u koliko je moguće - rano upozoravanje i rješavanje rizika za živote i zdravlje ljudi, te materijalna dobra, nastalih iz mogućih opasnosti, temelj su dobrog upravljnja krizom jednom kada se ona dogodi.Knowing about a possible crisis situation in your own environment is the first step in dealing with its consequences. In order for the country and its citizens to adequately prepare and act in a crisis situation, the media is of great importance. Well-organized and implemented prevention of crisis situations, and as far as possible - early warning and resolution of risks to people's lives and health, as well as material goods, arising from possible dangers, are the basis of good crisis management once it occurs
Archaeology of Salt in the Prehistory of Velebit
No full textPosljednjih nekoliko desetljeća arheologija soli se razvila u dinamično istraživačko područje koje je usmjereno na proučavanje različitih arheoloških, povijesnih i etnografskih podataka koji svjedoče o metodama eksploatacije slanih resursa, praksama konzumacije i društvene uloge soli u prošlosti. U arheološkom pogledu, proučavanje soli vrlo je komplicirano s obzirom da se sol vrlo rijetko sačuva u arheološkom kontekstu. Pojava slanih ležišta u tekućem stanju zahtijevala je dodatan proces prirodne ili prisilne evaporacije koji je omogućavao stvaranje potpuno kristaliziranog slanog produkta. Postupak prisilnog isušivanja temelji se na upotrebi karakterističnih predmeta – podupirača, struktura i spremnika izrađenim od pečene gline koji su pod zajedničkim nazivom poznati kao briquetage (briketaž). Usprkos tradicionalnom mišljenju da se briketaž pojavljuje isključivo u kontinentalnom okružju, gdje postoje brojni slani izvori, recentni nalazi s mediteranskih obala pokazuju da je ista tehnologija mogla biti jednako produktivna i na onim područjima za koje se smatra da su sol primarno i tradicionalno dobivala solarnim isušivanjem. Među spomenuta mjesta odsad se mogu pridodati i nalazišta na istočnoj jadranskoj obali, u podvelebitskom primorju, gdje obilna arheološka građa svjedoči o intenzivnoj regionalnoj proizvodnji soli u kasnoj prapovijesti. Karakteristična koncentracija, gustoća i količina proizvodnog otpada ukazali su na postojanje proizvodnih središta čije je mjesto u zanatskom krajoliku pažljivo odabrano temeljem brojnih preduvjeta. Briketaž se sastoji od dvije osnovne kategorije: podupirači i recipijenti za prosušivanje, a njihova iscrpna tipološka, tehnološka i funkcionalna analiza pokazala je specifične karakteristike po kojima se jasno razlikuju od druge svakodnevne prapovijesne keramike. Tehnološki aspekti velebitske proizvodnje soli mogu se pravilno razmotriti pomoću lanca operacija razlikujući pet faza koje su međusobno povezane i u interakciji su s društvenim kontekstom u kojem su se odvijale. Standardizacija alata i produkata važan je dokaz o društvenoj organizaciji proizvodnje kao specijaliziranog zanata koji je na primjeru podvelebitske proizvodnje soli analiziran pomoću četiri osnovna parametra: konteksta, koncentracije, stupnja i intenziteta. Gledajući u cjelini, arheološki nalazi impliciraju istaknuto značenje proizvodnje, konzumacije i uloge soli u društveno-ekonomskim aspektima prapovijesnih zajednica Velebita.The archaeology of salt in Europe has been rapidly developing as a dynamic and innovative research field focused on the study of various archaeological, historical and ethnographic data that testify to the methods of exploitation of salt resources, consumption practices and socioecenomic role of salt in past societies. From an archaeological point of view, the study of salt is very complicated, considering that salt is very rarely preserved in archaeological context. The appearance of salt deposits in a liquid form (sea or spring water) required a process of natural or artificial evaporation for making a crystallized product. The process of artificial evaporation is based on the use of characteristic objects - ceramic pedestrals and containers, generally known as briquetage. Recent finds from Mediterannean coasts of France, Spain anf Italy have produced evidence that briquetage techniques have not been exclusively limited to continental environments. Hitherto unkown sites on Velebit littoral, a part of the eastern Adriatic coast beneath the long coastal range of Velebit mountain, provide additional arguments in that direction. Abundant archaeological record suggests the intensive regional salt-production in late prehistory. The characteristic concentration, density and amount of production waste indicates the location of production centers whose spatial pattern in craft landscape was defined by different factors. Velebit briquetage consists of two basic categories: pedestals and clay containers. Typological, technological and functional analysis has shown specific characteristics that make them clearly different from other prehistoric ceramics. The technological aspects of Velebit salt production can be properly considered by chaîne opératoire consisting of five phases. The standardization of tools and products indicates specialised production, which was analysed using four basic parameters: context, concentration, scale and intensity
The role of Instagram in creating the image of a tourist destination - the example of Norway
No full textTurizam je s vremenom postao globalan skup odnosa i pojava s različitim motivima, od slobodnog vremena i avanture do poslovnih putovanja i kulturnog istraživanja. Pojavile su se i mnoge destinacije koje pokušavaju privući pažnju na sebe. Povezano s time su nastali i koncepti brendiranja i imidža turističkih destinacija. Destinacije žele putem društvenih medija privući potencijalne posjetitelje pa tako na njima kreiraju raznolik sadržaj. U ovom radu su prikupljeni primarni podatci s ciljem istraživanja imidža o destinaciji Norveškoj na društvenom mediju Instagram. Ispitanici su podijeljeni u dvije skupine, oni koji su imali pristup Instagram profilu i oni koji nisu imali. Ukupno je prikupljeno 110 ispitanika. U anketama su bila pitanja otvorenog i zatvorenog tipa, a ispitivali su se stavovi o obilježjima destinacije i afektivni stavovi o destinaciji. Korištene su Likertove skale i TOMA metoda, putem koje su se dobile asocijacije o destinaciji. Teorijski dio je napisan istraživanjem sekundarnih podataka, koji su pronađeni u raznim znanstvenim radovima i knjigama. Podatci su se analizirali u tablicama i grafikonima, a rezultati su obrađeni u programima Excel i SPSS. Glavni cilj istraživanje je dobiti uvid o percepcijama ispitanika o državi Norveškoj te saznati postoje li razlike u percepcijama na osnovi dostupnosti Instagram profila. Prva hipoteza je odbačena te je utvrđeno da postoje razlike između percepcije imidža destinacije kod ispitanika koji su imali pristup Instagramu i onih koji nisu. Druga hipoteza je potvrđena te je ustanovljeno da ne postoje razlike o percepciji imidža destinacije s obzirom na prethodnu upoznatost s destinacijom. Još jedan cilj ovog istraživanja bio stvoriti temelj za naredna istraživanja na ovu temu te usmjeriti aktivnosti destinacijskih marketing organizacija.With the time, tourism has become a global set of relationships and phenomena with different motives, from leisure and adventure to business travel and cultural exploration. Many destinations have also appeared that are trying to draw attention to themselves. Concepts of branding and image of tourist destinations were also created in connection with this. Destinations want to attract potential visitors through social media, so they create diverse content on them. In this paper, primary data was collected with the aim of researching the image of the destination Norway on the social media Instagram. The respondents were divided into two groups, those who had access to an Instagram profile and those who did not. A total of 110 respondents were collected. The surveys included open-ended and closed-ended questions, and attitudes about the characteristics of the destination and affective attitudes about the destination were examined. Likert scales and the TOMA method were used, through which associations about the destination were obtained. The theoretical part was written by researching secondary data, which were found in various scientific papers and books. The data were analyzed in tables and graphs, and the results were processed in the Excel and SPSS programs. The main goal of the research is to gain insight into respondents' perceptions of Norway and to find out if there are differences in perceptions based on the availability of Instagram profiles. The first hypothesis was rejected and it was determined that there are differences between the perception of the destination's image among respondents who had access to Instagram and those who did not. The second hypothesis was confirmed and it was established that there are no differences in the perception of the destination's image with regard to previous familiarity with the destination. Another goal of this research was to create a foundation for subsequent research on this topic and to direct the activities of destination marketing organizations
Verbal Aggression and the Difficulty of Translation in Crime Novels
No full textDie vorliegende Diplomarbeit umfasst den linguistischen Aspekt der sprachlichen Gewalt in Kriminalromanen und die Problematik ihrer Übersetzung. Zum Ziel wurde gesetzt, dass die unterschiedlichen Einheiten der sprachlichen Gewalt mit den linguistischen Aspekten in der Übersetzung analysiert werden, damit erkannt werden kann, auf welche Hindernisse der Übersetzer während der Translation verbaler Aggressionen stoßen kann und wie präzise diese in die Zielsprache übertragen werden können, da diese auch kulturbedingt sein können. Das Genre der Kriminalromane wurde auserwählt, da schon der Sachverhalt an gewalttätigen Elementen verfügt und somit erwartet wird, dass auch auf der sprachlichen Ebene Gewaltformen vorhanden sind. Die Analyse umfasst die Kriminalromane Achtsam Morden (2019) des Autors Karsten Dusse und Die Wahrheit und andere Lügen (2014) von Sascha Arango, die beide von dem Übersetzer Dalibor Joler in die kroatische Sprache übersetzt wurden. Die Beispiele umfassen Varietäten der sprachlichen Gewalt, die von vielen Aspekten abhängen und von dem Übersetzer eingehalten werden sollten, um eine gelungene Übersetzung in der Zielsprache zu erschaffen. Dabei wird auf die möglichen Probleme und Lösungen hingedeutet.Ovaj diplomski rad obuhvaća lingvističku analizu jezičnog nasilja u kriminalističkim romanima te problematiku njegovog prevođenja. Postavljeni cilj ovoga rada je analiza različitih jedinica jezičnoga nasilja u pogledu na lingvističke aspekte u prevođenju kako bi se prepoznale moguće prepreke s kojima se prevoditelj može susresti tijekom prevođenja verbalnih agresija te koliko precizno ih može prenijeti u ciljni jezik, s obzirom na to da mogu biti kulturološki uvjetovane. Za ovaj je rad izabran žanr kriminalističkog romana, budući da već sama radnja obuhvaća elemente nasilja te se očekuje da će se i na jezičnoj razini pojaviti elementi nasilja. Analiza obuhvaća kriminalističke romane Achtsam Morden (2019) autora Karstena Dussea te Die Wahrheit und andere Lügen (2014) napisanog od Sasche Aranga. Oba romana je na hrvatski jezik preveo Dalibor Joler. Predstavljeni primjeri obuhvaćaju razne varijacije jezičnog nasilja koje ovise o mnogobrojnim elementima te bi ih se prevoditelj trebao pridržavati kako bi prijevod u ciljni jezik bio uspješan. Pri tome će se uputiti na moguće probleme i rješenja u prevođenju.This master thesis deals with the linguistic aspect of verbal aggression in crime novels and difficulty of its translation. The aim is to analyze different units of verbal aggression concerning the linguistic aspects of translation in order to detect the impediments which a translator might have to overcome during the translation of verbal aggression and how precise these might be transmitted into the target language, since it is culture-bounded. The crime novel genre was chosen due to its elements of violence in the plot; therefore, it is expected that it implies forms of violence on the linguistic level.
The analysis encompasses the crime novels Achtsam Morden (2019), written by the author Karsten Dusse, and Die Wahrheit und andere Lügen (2014) by Sascha Arango, as well as the translation into the Croatian language done by Dalibor Joler. The examples demonstrate a variety of verbal aggression which depend on numerous aspects and should be reflected by the translator to have a successful translation in the target language. Additionally, the possible difficulties and solutions will be indicated
Some of the determinants of perceived future employability of highly educated youth in Croatia
No full textS obzirom na činjenicu kako su na području Republike Hrvatske relativno rijetka istraživanja koja se bave ispitivanjem percipirane buduće zapošljivosti visokoobrazovanih mladih koji čine generaciju Z, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati percipiranu buduću zapošljivost mladih koji su studirali ili su završili studij (minimalno završene tri godine studija) u dobi između 21 i 30 godina. Konkretno, nastojalo se ispitati kakav posao visokoobrazovani pripradnici generacije Z u Hrvatskoj žele zbog čega je konstruiran mjerni instrument kako bi se ispitale preferencije budućeg posla. Ujedno je i jedan od istraživačkih problema bio provjeriti faktorsku strukturu i pouzdanost novog mjernog instrumenta. Također, nastojalo se utvrditi i razlikuju li se sudionici koji studiraju i koji su završili studij s obzirom na percipiranu buduću zapošljivost, opću samoefikasnost te intrinzične i ekstrinzične motive za odabir budućeg posla te ispitati relativan doprinos intrinzičnih i ekstrinzičnih motiva za izbor zaposlenja i samoefikasnosti u predikciji percipirane buduće zapošljivosti. Pored navedenog novokonstruiranog mjernog instrumenta, sudionici su ispunili i kratki upitnik demografskih podataka, Upitnik opće samoefikasnosti i Upitnik percipirane buduće zapošljivosti. Statističkom obradom podataka potvrđena je dvofaktorska struktura preferanih karakteristika budućeg posla (intrinzični i ekstrinzični motivi budućeg zaposlenja). Nadalje, utvrđeno je kako su sudionici koji su završili studij samoefikasniji od sudionika koji su u to vrijeme studirali te je utvrđeno kako je opća samoefikasnost pozitivan prediktor samopercipirane buduće zapošljivosti, dok intrinzični motivi za budući posao doprinose percepciji buduće zapošljivosti posredstvom opće samoefikasnosti.Considering the fact that there is a relatively limited amount of research in the area of the Republic of Croatia that focuses on examining the perceived future employability of highly educated young individuals belonging to Generation Z, the aim of this study was to investigate the perceived future employability of young people who have studied or completed their studies (at least three years of study) between the ages of 21 and 30. Specifically, the study sought to explore the type of job that highly educated members of Generation Z in Croatia desire, which is why a measurement instrument was constructed to assess job preferences. Additionally, one of the research objectives was to verify the factorial structure and reliability of the new measurement instrument. Furthermore, the study aimed to determine whether there are any differences between participants who are currently studying and those who have completed their studies in terms of perceived future employability, general self-efficacy, and intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for choosing a future career. It also aimed to examine the relative contributions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for employment choice, as well as self-efficacy, in predicting perceived future employability. In addition to the aforementioned newly constructed measurement instrument, participants completed a brief questionnaire on demographic information, a General Self-Efficacy Scale, and a Perceived Future Employability Scale. Statistical data analysis confirmed a two-factor structure of preferred job characteristics (intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for future employment). Furthermore, it was found that participants who had completed their studies demonstrated higher levels of self-efficacy compared to participants who were still studying at the time. The study also revealed that general self- efficacy is a positive predictor of self-perceived future employability, while intrinsic motivations for a future job contribute to the perception of future employability through general self-efficacy
Comparison of triage scales in out-hospital and In-hospital emergency assessment of severely Injured or polytraumatized patients
No full textUvod: Politrauma predstavlja traumatske ozljede koje zahvaćaju dva ili više tjelesnih sustava ili organa, pri čemu je najmanje jedna od ozljeda potencijalno opasna po život. Učinci teške traume povezani su s akutnim gubitkom krvi i rezultirajućom hipoperfuzijom mekih tkiva i ozljedama koje aktiviraju imunološki sustav, osobito ako su prisutne otvorene rane. Prema podatcima Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije ozljede su vodeći vanjski uzrok smrti u 2020. godini , a to su padovi (43%), samoubojstva (21%) i prometne nesreće (12%), a zatim slijede otrovanja (3%) i gušenja (3%). Trijažne odluke se temelje na znakovima i simptomima koje prezentira pacijent, ali ne s ciljem postavljanja medicinske dijagnoze. Život teško ozlijeđenih ili politraumatiziranih pacijenata ovisi o vremenu. Zlatni sat započinje u trenutku kada osoba zadobije ozljedu.
Cilj: Glavni cilj istraživanja je usporedba procjene stanja teško ozlijeđenog ili politraumatiziranog pacijenta pomoću trijažnih ljestvica (Glasgowska ljestvica kome, AVPU ljestvica, vitalni znakovi) koje se koriste u izvanbolničkoj i bolničkoj procjeni kod dolaska na Objedinjeni hitni bolnički prijem (OHBP).
Ispitanici i metode istraživanja: U istraživanju će se koristiti podatci svih bolesnika koji su prema trijažnom sustavu klasificirani kao teško ozlijeđeni ili kao politraumatizirani pacijenti. Koristit će se retrospektivna analiza baze podataka Hitne medicinske pomoći (HMP) i OHBP-a, tj. bolničkog informacijskog sustava (BIS) Opće bolnice Zadar. Nakon što se prikupe relevantni podatci, provest će se analiza dobivenih podataka koristeći relevantne deskriptivne statističke metode i program Microsoft Excel.
Rezultati: U gore navedenim bazama podataka pronaženo je ukupno 45 bolesnika, obrađenih od strane Hitne medicinske pomoći (HMP) i Objedinjenog hitnog prijema u bolnici (OHBP), od kojih je 5 bolesnika (11,1 %) isključeno iz daljnje analize zbog nemjerljivog tlaka i pulsa u HMP ili u OHBP te je istraživanje provedeno na preostalih 40 bolesnika.
Zaključak: Na temelju dobivenih rezultata vidljivo je da prema svim trijažnim ljestvicama koje smo uspoređivali nema statistički značajne razlike između procjene HMP i OHBP-a.Background: Polytrauma represents traumatic injuries affecting two or more body systems or organs, where at least one of the injuries is potentially life-threatening. The effects of severe trauma are associated with acute blood loss and resulting soft tissue hypoperfusion and injury that activates the immune system, particularly if open wounds are present. According to data from the World Health Organization, injuries are the leading external cause of death in 2020, namely falls (43%), suicides (21%) and traffic accidents (12%), followed by poisoning (3%) and suffocation (3 %). Triage decisions are based on the signs and symptoms presented by the patient, but not with the aim of reaching a medical diagnosis. The life of severely injured or polytraumatized patients depends on time. The golden hour starts at the moment of injury.
Aim: The main goal of this research is to compare the assessment of the condition of a severely injured or polytraumatized patient using triage scales (Glasgow coma score, AVPU scale, vital signs) that are used in outpatient and in-hospital assessment upon arrival at Emergency Department.
Subjects and research methods: The research will use the data of all patients who, according to the triage system, are classified as seriously injured or polytraumatized. A retrospective analysis of the databases of the Institute of Emergency Medicine of Zadar County and the Emergency Department of Zadar General Hospital will be used. After the relevant data have been collected, the obtained data will be analyzed using appropriate descriptive statistics and the Microsoft Excel software.
Results: A total of 45 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria were found in the databases mentioned above, triaged and treated by the Institute of Emergency Medicine of Zadar County and the Zadar General Hospital Emergency Department. Five patients (11.1%) were excluded due to undetectable blood pressure or absent pulse, and further analysis was conducted on the remaining 40 patients.
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it is evident that according to all the triage scales we have compared, there are no statistically significant differences between the assessment of the Institute of Emergency Medicine of Zadar County and the Zadar General Hospital Emergency Department

No full textGlobalizacija, napredak i razvoj tehnologije, dovodi do ekonomske moći. Ujedinjenjem Europske države jačaju gospodarstva zemalja članica EU te doprinose njihovom razvoju, njenoj zaštiti i prosperitetu. Direktive EU između ostalog daju informacije i o zaštiti na tržištu i pojedinca ponaosob i u slučaju kršenja pravila na tržištu. Mnogo je teza i antiteza što je ispravno i potrebno da bi se zaštitila tehnološka moć na tržištu. No, jedno je ključno - kako se zaštiti od monopoliste na digitalnom tržištu. Teško je i vrlo važno biti lider na tržištu, a još teže pošteni lider. Microsoft dugi niz desetljeća koristi svoju taktiku većinskog udjela na tržištu. Godinama gradi svoj status i poziciju kao jedini inovator, no način na koji se pozicionira, većina se žali da je to na nepošten način. Pojedini se žale da je to na temelju cijene, dok ostali govore da je po pitanju mrežnih učinaka, tj. eksternalija, no ostaje bitno da se ugovorom o funkcioniranju EU štiti pošteno tržišno natjecanje društava kako na unutarnjem tržištu tako i u interesu potrošača.Globalization, progress and development of technology, leads to economic power. The unification of European countries strengthens the economies of EU member states and contributes to their development, protection and prosperity. Among other things, the EU directives provide information on the protection of individuals on the market and in case of violation of market rules. There are many theses and antitheses as to what is right and necessary to protect technological power in the market. No, one thing is crucial - how to protect yourself from monopolists in the digital market. It is difficult and very important to be a market leader, and even more difficult to be an honest leader. Microsoft has been using its market share tactics for many decades. For years, it has been building its status and position as the only innovator, but the way it positions itself, most complain that it is unfair.

No full textU ovom diplomskom radu analizirani su isključivi gospodarski pojasevi na istočnom Sredozemlju te je opisana prisutna problematika razgraničenja granica morskog područja između država regije. Navedene su povijesne činjenice te su objašnjeni vitalni problemi istočnog Sredozemlja koji su temelj složene geopolitičke slike regije i političkih nesuglasica. U prvom dijelu rada opisan je pravni temelj međunarodnog prava mora, prema kojem bi se trebalo provesti razgraničenje morskih zona u regiji. U središnjem dijelu analiziraju se politička događanja u regiji, navode se aspiracije pojedinih država te se opisuju bilateralne suradnje između država regije, čiji je rezultat određivanje granica na moru. Također se opisuju razlozi zbog kojih regija privlači sve više pažnje globalnih aktera, a to su otkrića energetskih rezervi i zaliha prirodnog plina. Otkriće plina u regiji dovelo je do postavljanja ambicioznih ciljeva država regije, stvaranja političkih saveza i planiranja energetskih projekata. U posljednjem dijelu predstavljaju se moguća rješenja pomorskih sporova te je opisan tijek rješavanja dugogodišnjeg pomorskog spora između dvije države regije, Izraela i Libanona.In this thesis, the exclusive economic zones in the Eastern Mediterranean are analyzed and the present problem of the demarcation of the borders of the sea area between the countries of the region is described.
