Dynamic under keel clearance on passage planning
No full textOvaj rad analizira dinamičke promjene u dubini ispod kobilice broda (UKC) tijekom plovidbe, s naglaskom na čimbenike koji utječu na sigurnost plovnog puta. Preostala dubina ispod kobilice ključna je za sigurno upravljanje brodom, osobito u uvjetima ograničene dubine. Dinamički utjecaji, poput promjena razine mora uzrokovanih plimom i osekom, te meteoroloških i oceanoloških faktora, moraju se uzeti u obzir pri određivanju stvarne dubine plovnog puta. Glavni elementi koji se analiziraju uključuju statički gaz broda, bruto i neto UKC te fenomen dodatnog urona broda (squat), koji postaje izrazito važan u plitkim i uskim vodama. Također, u radu se razmatra upotreba naprednih navigacijskih sustava poput ECDIS-a za planiranje plovidbe, čime se omogućuje precizno praćenje dubine plovnog puta i smanjenje rizika od nasukavanja. Kroz analizu različitih faktora poput brzine broda, oblika trupa i karakteristika plovnog puta, pruža se sveobuhvatni uvid u procese koji utječu na sigurnost plovidbe.This paper analyses the dynamic changes in under-keel clearance (UKC) during navigation, focusing on factors that affect the safety of the navigable route. The remaining depth beneath the keel is crucial for safe ship management, particularly in shallow waters. Dynamic influences such as tidal variations and meteorological and oceanographic factors must be considered when determining the actual depth of the navigable route. The main elements analysed include the ship’s static draft, gross and net UKC, and the squat phenomenon, which becomes particularly significant in shallow and narrow waters. The paper also discusses the use of advanced navigation systems such as ECDIS for voyage planning, enabling precise monitoring of the navigable route depth and reducing the risk of grounding. Through the analysis of various factors such as ship speed, hull shape, and waterway characteristics, a comprehensive insight is provided into the processes that influence navigation safety
The analysis of media coverage on the subject of pandemic COVID – 19 by the news portals
No full textProblemsko područje rada je način medijskog izvještavanja za vrijeme krize uzrokovane pandemijom COVID-19. Fokus se stavlja na profesionalna načela novinarske struke uz poseban naglasak na izazove novih medija i internetskih portala: senzacionalizam, širenje panike i copy&paste novinarstvo. Glavni cilj istraživanja je utvrditi na koji način su hrvatski internetski portali izvještavali o pandemiji kroz tri odabrana vremenska perioda, jesu li se pridržavali profesionalnih načela struke i koji faktori su utjecali na način izvještavanja. U teorijskom dijelu rada se definiraju i raščlanjuju osnovni pojmovi medija, podjele medija, funkcije i društvena uloga medija, a uz poseban naglasak na profesionalne standarde izvještavanja determiniraju se izazovi novih medija i internetskih portala kao što su anonimiziranost izvora i copy&paste novinarstvo. Analizom provedenih medijskih istraživanja za vrijeme pandemije i slaganjem kronologije pandemije daje se uvid u društveno – gospodarski kontekst krize i ulogu medija na svjetskoj i europskoj razini uz detektiranje i definiranje najvećeg izazova u izvještavanju – infodemije. Kvantitativnom analizom sadržaja obrađeno je 2713 članaka prikupljenih preko RSS-a kako bi se dobio uvid u trend objavljivanja kroz 3 vremenska intervala prvog vala pandemije, a kvalitativnom metodom izdvojeno je i analizirano 149 članaka kako bi se utvrdilo na koji način se izvještavalo ovisno o vremenskom perioduThe problem area of this research is the method of media reporting during the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus is on the professional principles of journalism, with a special emphasis on the challenges posed by new media and online portals: sensationalism, spreading panic, and copy&paste journalism. The main goal of the research is to determine the way in which Croatian online portals reported on the pandemic during three selected time periods, whether they adhered to ethical principles of the profession, and which factors influenced the manner of reporting. The theoretical part of the dissertation defines and analyzes the basic concepts of media, media classifications, functions, and the social role of media, with a particular emphasis on professional reporting standards, determining the challenges of new media and online portals such as source anonymity and copy&paste journalism. Through the analysis of conducted media research during the pandemic and by establishing a chronology of the pandemic, insights are provided into the socio-economic context of the crisis and the role of media at the global and European levels, along with identifying and defining the greatest challenge in reporting – the infodemic. A quantitative content analysis covered 2,713 articles collected via RSS to gain insight into publishing trends over three time intervals during the first wave of the pandemic, while a qualitative method singled out and analyzed 149 articles to determine how reporting varied depending on the time period
The Influence Of Managerial Leadership Style On Deviant Behavior In The Work Environment
No full textVeliki broj istraživača iz različitih domena je u posljednjih desetak godina prošloga stoljeća pokazalo interes za istraživanjem ljudskog ponašanja sa posebnim osvrtom na organizacijsko ponašanje. Ono što znanstvenike i stručnjake privlači ka izučavanju ove teme jest činjenica da se ljudi ponašaju na različite načine i da takvo ponašanje oblikuje veliki broj različitih čimbenika, bili oni induvidualni, situacijski ili organizacijski. Od svakog se zaposlenika očekuje da će u svome radnome okruženju postupati na savjestan način pritom pazeći na norme i pravila poželjnoga organizacijskog ponašanja koje podrazumijeva pristojno i odgvorno ophođenje prema kolegama, nadređenome i suradnicima, pravodobno obavljanje radnih aktivnosti i zadataka, poštivanje radnog vremena, pomoć kolegama, ali i ostala ponašanja koja doprinose učinkovitoj i pozitivnoj radnoj okolini. Ukoliko dođe do pojave ponašanja koje po bilo kojim karakteristikama odudara od normi poželjnog ponašanja, tada to ponašanje nazivamo devijantnim. Takva ponašanja nerijetko uključuju krađu, apsentizam, mobing te ostale radnje koje na bilo kakav način mogu negativno utjecati na članove organizacije, ali i na cijeli organizacijski kolektiv. Devijantnost na radnome mjestu dijeli se na interpersonalnu, odnosno onu čijom se pojavom šteti članovima organizacije i organizacijsku, odnosno onu koja je na štetu cijele organizacije. Uzroci nastanka devijantnog ponašanja su različiti, ali stručnjaci se slažu u jednome – potrebno ih je znati detektirati kako bi se što hitnije izdale mjere njegova suzbijanja. Literatura predlaže stilove vodstva (bihevioralne, kontingencijske i suvremene) kao jedne od uzročnika devijantnog ponašanja. Slijedom toga, cilj ovoga rada je analizom korelacije utvrditi postoji li statistički značajna povezanost između pojedinih stilova vodstva (transakcijskog, transformacijskog i laissez-faire) i devijantnog ponašanja. Relevantan pokazatelj stanja glede ove teme predstavljaju rezultati online anketnog upitnika u kojemu je sudjelovalo 150 ispitanika. Korelacijska analiza pokazuje nisku povezanost koja nije statistički značajna pa ovim istraživanjem ne možemo tvrditi da postoji povezanost između različitih menadžerskih stilova vodstva i devijantnog ponašanja.A large number of researchers from various fields showed an interest in studying human behavior over the last decade of the previous century, with a particular focus on organizational behavior. What draws scientists and experts to study this subject is the fact that people behave in diverse ways, and such behavior is shaped by numerous factors, whether they are individual, situational, or organizational. Every employee is expected to act conscientiously in their work environment, adhering to the norms and rules of desirable organizational behavior, which includes polite and responsible interaction with colleagues, supervisors, and associates, the timely completion of work activities and tasks, respecting working hours, helping colleagues, as well as other behaviors that contribute to an efficient and positive work environment. If behavior occurs that deviates from the norms of desirable conduct, it is referred to as deviant behavior. Such behaviors often include theft, absenteeism, bullying, and other actions that may negatively impact members of the organization or the organization as a whole. Deviant workplace behavior is divided into interpersonal, which harms individual members of the organization, and organizational, which harms the entire organization. The causes of deviant behavior are diverse, but experts agree on one thing – it is essential to detect them to promptly issue measures for their suppression. The literature suggests leadership styles (behavioral, contingency, and contemporary) as some of the causes of deviant behavior. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to determine, through correlation analysis, whether there is a statistically significant relationship between specific leadership styles (transactional, transformational, and laissez-faire) and deviant behavior. A relevant indicator of the state of this issue is the results of an online survey in which 150 respondents participated. The correlation analysis shows a low correlation that is not statistically significant, meaning that this research cannot confirm the existence of a connection between different managerial leadership styles and deviant behavior
Comparison of Angular and React in web development
No full textU ovom radu provedena je detaljna usporedba Angulara i Reacta, dva okvira, odnosno knjižnica koje se ubrajaju među najpopularnije za razvoj web aplikacija. Rad započinje opisom osnovnih principa rada web aplikacija te objašnjava glavnu razliku između okvira (eng. frameworks) i knjižnica (eng. libraries) za razvoj web aplikacija. Nadalje, teoretski su opisane funkcionalnosti oba alata, uključujući komponente, vezivanje podataka, preusmjeravanje i upravljanje stanjem. Osim teorijskog pregleda, izrađena je i vizualno i funkcionalno identična web aplikacija u oba alata, kako bi se omogućila praktična usporedba na vlastitim primjerima. Na kraju rada, analizirano je stanje na tržištu u vrijeme izrade ovog rada, pružajući uvid u popularnost, krivulju učenja, fleksibilnost i namjenu Angulara i Reacta. Kroz ovu analizu, dobiven je pregled trenutne pozicije oba alata na tržištu te njihovih prednosti i nedostataka u kontekstu modernog razvoja web aplikacija.From the comparisons made between Angular and React in this paper, it can be concluded that both frameworks have their own advantages and disadvantages, and are suited to different types of projects and users. Angular is a robust, comprehensive framework that provides many built-in functionalities, making it ideal for large, enterprise-level applications that require structure, consistency, and scalability. However, its steep learning curve and complexity can pose challenges for beginners and smaller projects. On the other hand, React is easier to learn, especially for developers already familiar with JavaScript. Its flexibility and modularity allow for quick and efficient development, particularly for applications with a large number of interactive elements. React is more popular among beginners due to its simpler learning curve and greater freedom in selecting additional tools and libraries. Angular is a better solution for teams that prefer stricter development guidelines and best practices, while React offers more freedom and creativity in application development. The final choice between Angular and React depends on the specific needs of the project, the experience level of the developers, and the preferences of the team. Both frameworks have strong community support and are continuously evolving, ensuring their relevance and sustainability in the future
Neausea and vomiting after anesthesia
No full textUvod. Anestezija i anesteziologija ključni su elementi moderne medicine čija se važnost ogleda u obezboljenju i uklanjanju nelagode uslijed kirurških zahvata i drugih medicinskih postupaka. Mučnina, povraćanje i nagon za povraćanje tri su vodeća problema nakon primjene anestezije te se često javljaju kod velikog broja bolesnika. Ovi problemi, iako većinom nisu životno ugrožavajući, mogu značajno otežati oporavak bolesnika, zahtijevajući pažljivu prevenciju i multidisciplinarni pristup u prijeoperacijskoj njezi.
Cilj. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti mehanizme nastanka poslijeoperacijske mučnine i povraćanja (POMP), opisati ključne čimbenike za razvoj POMP-a te evaluirati efikasnost različitih preventivnih i terapijskih strategija.
Rasprava. POMP predstavlja jednu od najčešćih neugodnih nuspojava nakon anestezije, stoga se često naziva "veliki mali problem". Manifestira se kroz tri glavna simptoma: mučnina, povraćanje i nagon za povraćanjem bez izbacivanja želučanog sadržaja. Mučnina je subjektivni, neugodni osjećaj koji često prethodi povraćanju, dok povraćanje uključuje koordinirano djelovanje više mišića za izbacivanje sadržaja iz želuca. Ovi simptomi, iako često zanemareni u praksi, mogu imati značajne tjelesne i psihološke posljedice za bolesnika, uključujući dehidraciju, elektrolitsku neravnotežu, povećan intraabdominalni tlak, intrakranijski ili intraokularni tlak te psihološku nelagodu i stres. Efikasno upravljanje POMP-om zahtijeva višestruki pristup koji kombinira farmakološke i nefarmakološke metode antiemetske zaštite, s ciljem smanjenja incidencije POMP-a i poboljšanja oporavka bolesnika.
Zaključak. Unatoč napretku u anesteziološkim tehnikama, modernim kratkodjelujućim anesteticima poboljšanih svojstva i antiemetskoj profilaksi, incidencija POMP-a nakon opće anestezije je još uvijek neprihvatljivo visoka te je nužan multidisciplinarni pristup kao i stalna klinička istraživanja koja uključuju čimbenike rizika i uspješnost primjene antiemetika. Ključna je procjena rizika, uključivanje regionalnih anestezioloških tehnika te primjena kombiniranih farmakoloških i nefarmakoloških metoda zaštite i/ili terapije. Važnu ulogu u ovome imaju medicinske sestre kao dio kirurško-anesteziološkog tima, koje kroz edukaciju i podršku bolesnicima značajno pridonose smanjenju rizika i poboljšanju ishoda kirurškog liječenja. Holistički pristup u anesteziološkoj praksi može značajno pridonijeti poboljšanju kliničkih ishoda, zadovoljstvu liječenjem i smanjenju zdravstvenih troškova.Introduction: Anesthesia and anesthesiology are key elements of modern medicine, essential for providing pain relief and eliminating discomfort during surgical procedures and other medical interventions. Nausea, vomiting, and the urge to vomit are the three leading problems following the administration of anesthesia, often occurring in a large number of patients. Although these problems are mostly not life-threatening, they can significantly complicate patient recovery, requiring careful prevention and a multidisciplinary approach in preoperative care.
Objective: The aim of this paper is to investigate the mechanisms underlying postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), describe the key factors contributing to the development of PONV, and evaluate the effectiveness of various preventive and therapeutic strategies.
Discussion: PONV is one of the most common and unpleasant side effects after anesthesia, often referred to as the "big little problem." It manifests through three main symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and the urge to vomit without expelling stomach contents. Nausea is a subjective, unpleasant sensation that often precedes vomiting, while vomiting involves the coordinated action of multiple muscles to expel stomach contents. These symptoms, although often overlooked in practice, can have significant physical and psychological consequences for the patient, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, increased intra-abdominal pressure, intracranial or intraocular pressure, as well as psychological discomfort and stress. Effective management of PONV requires a multifaceted approach that combines pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of antiemetic protection, aiming to reduce the incidence of PONV and improve patient recovery.
Conclusion: Despite advances in anesthetic techniques, modern short-acting anesthetics with improved properties, and antiemetic prophylaxis, the incidence of PONV after general anesthesia remains unacceptably high. A multidisciplinary approach, as well as ongoing clinical research that includes risk factors and the effectiveness of antiemetics, is necessary. Key aspects include risk assessment, the use of regional anesthesia techniques, and the application of combined pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of protection and/or therapy. Nurses play an important role as part of the surgical-anesthetic team, contributing significantly to reducing risk and improving surgical outcomes through patient education and support. A holistic approach in anesthetic practice can greatly contribute to improving clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction with treatment, and reducing healthcare costs
The role of the church in Nikolas Lenau's “Savonarola”
No full textIn dieser Diplomarbeit habe ich mich mit dem Thema Kirche und ihrer Rolle in dem Werk von Nikolaus Lenau Savonarola beschäftigt. Das Thema wird mithilfe der Kritischen Analyse bearbeitet, um das Problem den Leser besser darzustellen. Noch weitere Literatur, die benutzt war, bezieht sich auf die theoretischen Aspekte der Diplomarbeit. Es ist wichtig auch den historischen Hintergrund zu kennen, weil es für die tiefere Analyse des Werks wichtig ist. Die Beziehung zwischen der Kirche in der Renaissance Italien und der Gesellschaft steht im Mittelpunkt der Diplomarbeit wegen des großen Einflusses die die Kirche an die Gesellschaft hat. Ein Vergleich zwischen der Kirche und K. und K. Monarchie wurde auch gemacht und kritisch bearbeitet. Die Rolle der Kirche und ihr Einfluss wurden mit der Repression von dem Staa in dem Vormärz vergleicht. Durch die Analyse wird die Rolle der Kirche in der Gesellschaft gezeigt, was für diese Diplomarbeit von höchster Wichtigkeit ist.U ovom radu bavio sam se temom crkve i njezinom ulogom u djelu Nikolausa Lenaua „Savonarola“. Tema se obrađuje kritičkom analizom kako bi se problem bolje predstavio čitatelju. Ostala literatura koja je korištena odnosi se na teorijske aspekte rada. Važno je poznavati i povijesnu pozadinu jer je ona važna za dublju analizu djela. Odnos crkve u renesansnoj Italiji i društva u fokusu je rada zbog velikog utjecaja koji crkva ima na društvo. Također je napravljena i kritički obrađena usporedba između crkve i carsko kraljevske monarhije Austrije. Uloga crkve i njezin utjecaj uspoređeni su s represijom države u predožujskom razdoblju. Analiza pokazuje ulogu crkve u društvu, što je od iznimne važnosti za ovaj diplomski radIn this thesis I dealt with the topic of the church and its role in the work of Nikolaus Lenau Savonarola. The topic is dealt with using critical analysis to better present the problem to the reader. Other literature that was used relates to the theoretical aspects of the thesis. It is also important to know the historical background because it is important for the deeper analysis of the work. The relationship between the church in Renaissance Italy and society is the focus of the thesis because of the great influence that the church has on society. A comparison between the church and the imperial state of Austria in 19. Th century was also made and critically processed. The role of the church and its influence were compared with the repression of the state in the Vormärz. The analysis shows the role of the church in society, which is of utmost importance for this thesis
Students' attitudes towards marriage and divorce
No full textU ovom završnom radu predstavljeni su rezultati istraživanja koje je imalo cilj ispitati stavove studenata prema braku i razvodu te privrženost njihovim partnerima s obzirom na njihovo iskustvo razvoda roditelja. Rezultatima prijašnjih istraživanja utvrđuje se da mladi čiji roditelji ne žive zajedno vide rastavu kao dobro rješenje problematičnog braka te imaju pesimističniji pogled na brak od onih čiji roditelji žive zajedno (Amato, 1996). Uz to, svjedočenjem propalog braka roditelja stvara se emocionalna nesigurnost kod djece, zbog čega u ljubavnoj vezi stvaraju niži stupanj predanosti te smatranje svakog neslaganja kao mogućeg prekida veze (Amato i DeBoer, 2001; Carranza i sur., 2009; Fagan i Churchill, 2012; Ottaway, 2010; Wallerstein i Blakeslee, 2004; Weigel, 2007). U istraživanjima Booth Edwardsa (1990) i Conger i suradnika (2000), sudionici koji odnos svojih roditelja procjenjuju manje kvalitetnim, ujedno iskazuju više poteškoća u vlastitom partnerskom odnosu. Također, Axinn i Thornton (1992, 1993), utvrđuju da ukorijenjeni pozitivni stavovi prema braku mogu imati određenu ulogu pri formiranju ponašanja u intimnim vezama budući da pojedinci s takvim stavovima streme održavanju kvalitete odnosa, te da će oni koji doživljavaju veliku uznemirenost pri pojavi prijetnje gubitku kontakta s jako željenom i potrebnom osobom češće imati negativan stav prema razvodu. U završnom radu prikupljeni su rezultati iskustava studenata o razvodu roditelja, njihova mišljenja o utjecaju razvoda i medija općenito na njihove procjene kvalitete braka roditelja. Također, ispitana je povezanost privrženosti studenata svojim ljubavnim partnerima s procjenom kvalitete braka roditelja i stavovima o braku i razvodu. U svrhu prikupljanja podataka korištena je online anketa koju je ispunio 201 student koji je do sada imao barem jedno iskustvo u ljubavnom partnerskom odnosu ili ga još uvijek ima. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na razliku u stavovima o braku i razvodu između studenata čiji roditelji žive i onih čiji roditelji ne žive zajedno na način da sudionici čiji roditelji žive zajedno imaju pozitivnije stavove o braku i negativnije stavove o razvodu. No, te dvije skupine nisu se razlikovale s obzirom na privrženost partneru. Također, utvrđeni su slijedeći obrasci povezanosti između ispitivanih varijabli: značajna pozitivna povezanost između procjena kvalitete braka roditelja sudionika i privrženosti partneru; značajna pozitivna povezanost između stavova o braku i privrženosti partneru; značajna negativna povezanost stavova prema razvodu i separacijske uznemirenosti. Povezanost između stavova prema razvodu i osjećaja sigurnosti u odnosu s partnerom nije se pokazala značajnom.In this final thesis, the results of a study are presented that aimed to examine students' attitudes towards marriage and divorce, as well as their attachment to their partners, considering their experience of parental divorce. Previous research has shown that young people whose parents do not live together view divorce as a good solution to a problematic marriage and have a more pessimistic outlook on marriage compared to those whose parents live together (Amato, 1996). Additionally, witnessing a failed parental marriage creates emotional insecurity in their children, leading to a lower level of commitment in romantic relationships and the perception that any disagreement could potentially lead to a breakup (Amato and DeBoer, 2001; Carranza et al., 2009; Fagan and Churchill, 2012; Ottaway, 2010; Wallerstein and Blakeslee, 2004; Weigel, 2007). In researches by Booth Edwards (1990) and Conger et al. (2000), respondents who rated their parents' relationship as less quality also reported more difficulties in their own romantic relationships. Furthermore, Axinn and Thornton (1992, 1993) found that deeply rooted positive attitudes towards marriage can play a role in shaping behavior in intimate relationships, as individuals with such attitudes strive to maintain relationship quality. Those who experience high distress when faced with the threat of losing contact with a highly desired and needed person are more likely to have a negative attitude towards divorce. In the final thesis, data was collected on students' experiences with parental divorce, their opinions on the impact of divorce, and the media in general on their assessments of the quality of their parents' marriage. Additionally, the relationship between students' attachment to their romantic partners and their assessment of the quality of their parents' marriage, as well as their attitudes towards marriage and divorce, was examined. To collect the data, an online survey was used, which was completed by 201 students who have had at least one experience in a romantic relationship or are currently in one. The results indicate a difference in attitudes towards marriage and divorce between students whose parents live together and those whose parents do not, with participants whose parents live together having more positive attitudes towards marriage and more negative attitudes towards divorce. However, these two groups did not differ in terms of attachment to their partner. Furthermore, the following patterns of correlation between the examined variables were identified: a significant positive correlation between participants' assessment of their parents' marriage quality and attachment to their partner; a significant positive correlation between attitudes towards marriage and attachment to their partner; and a significant negative correlation between attitudes towards divorce and separation distress. The correlation between attitudes towards divorce and feelings of security in the relationship with the partner was not found to be significan
Prevođenje stila – u Dubinama Claire-Louise Bennett i “Ponda”
No full textClaire-Louise Bennett and her collection of short stories Pond have been at the centre of this thesis. The goal was to examine literary style through its elements, which are grammar and syntax, language and vocabulary, voice and tone. This was done with the stream of consciousness at the heart of the analysis as it affects all the named elements. It was necessary to investigate the translation of style, both from a practical and a theoretical point of view, through the methodology of Schleiermacher, Nida, Venuti Vinay and Darbelnet, whilst looking into translator’s invisibility and fidelity to the text. Their theoretical framework allowed for an examination of the translations of four selected short stories and helped to deduce how can a style be translated, if at all, especially on the example of an author like Bennett, who plays with the meaning and complexity of her sentences.U središtu ovog rada našle su se Claire-Louise Bennett i njezina zbirka kratkih priča Pond. Cilj rada bio je istražiti književni stil kroz sve njegove sastavnice, gramatiku i sintaksu, jezik, rječnik, glas i ton. U srcu analize bila je i struja svijesti koja ima utjecaja na prethodno navedene sastavnice. Važno je bilo istražiti i teoriju prevođenja s praktičnog i teoretskog stajališta s pomoću metodologija Schleiermachera, Nide, Venutija, Vinaya i Darbelneta, a istodobno proučiti vidljivost prevoditelja i vjernost tekstu. Njihov teoretski okvir omogućio je analizu prijevoda četiri izabrane kratke priče i pomogao doći do zaključka kako prevesti stil, ako je to uopće moguće, posebice na primjeru spisateljice kao što je to Bennett koja se igra sa značenjem i složenim rečenicama
Priroda kao simbol ljudske otpornosti u djelima Fahrenheit 451 i The Road
No full textThe paper deals with the topic of nature and how the characters in dystopian novels Fahrenheit 451 and The Road use it as a source of resilience towards the oppressive system. The paper provides a theoretical overview of ecocriticism, a study of nature and its representation in literature, focusing on theoretical frameworks of important ecocritical authors such as Greg Garrard. In order to analyses the nature in the two dystopian novels, the theory of ecocriticism was mainly applied, as well as some other theories concerning not only the nature as the environment that surrounds us, but also the human nature. Both the environment and the human nature are crucial for the protagonists to achieve resilience. The connection with nature renews, heals and helps the protagonists discover freedom that does not exist in the dystopian system, whereas the human nature entails a set of survival instincts, moral values and psychological and evolutionary traits necessary to achieve resilience needed to overcome harsh dystopian reality.Diplomski se bavi temom prirode i kako je likovi u distopijskim romanima „Fahrenheit 451“ i „Cesta“ koriste kao izvor otpornosti prema opresivnom sustavu. Rad daje teorijski pregled ekokritike, proučavanja prirode i njezine reprezentacije u književnosti, s fokusom na teorijske okvire značajnih ekokritičkih autora poput Grega Garrarda. U analizi prirode u dva distopijska romana uglavnom je primijenjena teorija ekokritike, ali i neke druge teorije koje se tiču ne samo prirode kao sredine koja nas okružuje, već i ljudske prirode. I okoliš i ljudska priroda ključni su za postizanje otpornosti protagonista. Povezanost s prirodom obnavlja, liječi i pomaže protagonistima da otkriju slobodu koja ne postoji u distopijskom sustavu, dok ljudska priroda podrazumijeva skup instinkta za preživljavanje, moralnih vrijednosti te psiholoških i evolucijskih osobina potrebnih za postizanje otpornosti potrebne za prevladavanje surove distopijske stvarnosti
The perception of generations X, Y and Z about banking products as a function of the digital transformation of the banking system
No full textOvaj rad analizira utjecaj digitalizacije na bankarski sektor s posebnim naglaskom na percepciju i ponašanje generacija X, Y i Z u korištenju bankarskih usluga. Bankarski sektor je prošao kroz značajne promjene pod utjecajem razvoja tehnologija, od tradicionalnog poslovanja u poslovnicama do sveprisutne digitalizacije koja uključuje mobilno i internetsko bankarstvo. U radu su analizirane povijesne promjene u razvoju bankarstva te utjecaj modernih tehnologija na svakodnevno poslovanje banaka. Posebna pažnja posvećena je usporedbi stavova i ponašanja različitih generacija u korištenju bankarskih usluga, s naglaskom na razlike u tehnološkoj pismenosti i sklonostima prema digitalnim alatima. Rezultati istraživanja provedeni putem ankete pokazali su da mlađe generacije, osobito generacija Z, preferiraju digitalne kanale, dok generacija X pokazuje veći otpor prema digitalizaciji i zadržava povjerenje u tradicionalne metode. Analizirani su ključni faktori koji utječu na odabir usluga, kao što su sigurnost, praktičnost i brzina, te njihova uloga u oblikovanju budućih trendova u bankarstvu. Rad pruža uvid u izazove s kojima se banke suočavaju prilikom prilagodbe svojim korisnicima te naglašava potrebu za daljnjom edukacijom i prilagodbom digitalnih rješenja kako bi odgovarala različitim generacijama. Zaključno, rad doprinosi razumijevanju kako banke mogu unaprijediti svoje usluge u skladu s potrebama suvremenih korisnika.This paper analyzes the impact of digitalization on the banking sector, with a particular focus on the perceptions and behaviors of Generations X, Y, and Z in their use of banking services. The banking sector has undergone significant changes due to technological advancements, evolving from traditional branch-based operations to widespread digitalization, including mobile and online banking. The paper examines historical changes in the development of banking and the influence of modern technologies on daily banking operations.
