Lean and Kaizen methodology in the food industry
No full textJapanska proizvodna filozofija, s naglaskom na Lean i Kaizen metodologiju, s vremenom postaje sve važnija u prehrambenoj industriji zbog svoje sposobnosti kontinuiranog poboljšanja. Kaizen metodologija ima korijene u Japanskoj proizvodnoj filozofiji te se fokusira na kontinuirano poboljšanje u procesima kroz primjenu specifičnih alata kao što je Demingov krug. Lean metodologija, s druge strane, inspirirana je s Toyotinim proizvodnim sustavom te je fokusirana na smanjenje gubitaka i optimizaciju procesa. Ovaj rad se fokusira na analiziranje implementacije Lean i Kaizen metodologije u prehrambenoj industriji na području Republike Hrvatske te diljem svijeta, istražujući prednosti i nedostatke tijekom primjene. Uvođenje Lean i Kaizen metodologije u prehrambenu industriju donosi brojne prednosti, poput povećanja efikasnosti, smanjenja otpada te poboljšanja kvalitete proizvoda i usluga prehrambenih poduzeća. S druge strane javljaju se određeni nedostaci koji se razmatraju kao poteškoće prilikom implementacije metodologija, a to su najčešće otpor promjenama i nedostatak resursa. Unatoč navedenim poteškoćama, primjena Lean i Kaizen metodologije je ključna za prehrambenu industriju pružajući joj konkurentnost na tržištu te prilagodbu svakodnevnim izazovima i uvjetima poslovanja.The Japanese production philosophy, with an emphasis on Lean and Kaizen methodology, is becoming increasingly important in the food industry due to its ability for continuous improvement. The Kaizen methodology has its own roots in the Japanese production philosophy and focuses on continuous improvement in processes through the application of specific tools such as the Deming cycle. On the other hand, the Lean methodology, inspired by the Toyota production system, focuses on waste reduction and process optimization. This study focuses on analyzing the implementation of Lean and Kaizen methodologies in the food industry in Croatia and worldwide, exploring the advantages and disadvantages during application. Introducing Lean and Kaizen methodologies in the food industry brings numerous benefits, such as increased efficiency, waste reduction, and improvement in product quality and services of food companies. However, certain drawbacks arise, which are considered as challenges during the implementation of methodologies, such as resistance to change and lack of resources. Despite these difficulties, the application of Lean and Kaizen methodologies is crucial for the food industry, providing competitiveness in the market and adaptation to everyday challenges and business conditions

Upbringing in a Modern Family: Analysis of Parental Roles
No full textObitelj je temeljna društvena zajednica koja je u stalnom dodiru s okolinom. Shodno tome, na obitelj utječu razne društvene promjene uzrokujući njenu izmijenjenu strukturu i obilježja. Tako su neke promjene poput emancipacije žena u poslovnoj sferi, izmjena tradicionalnih uvjerenja, težnja za rodnom ravnopravnošću, jačanje individualizma dovele do novih spoznaja i izmjena u obiteljskom životu. Značajna promjena je uloga oca koja doživljava transformaciju od pasivnog i hladnog roditelja do aktivnog, uključenog i zainteresiranog oca za skrb i brigu za dijete. Shodno navedenom, cilj ovog istraživanja je bio opisati i razumjeti ulogu oca i majke u suvremenoj obitelji, odnosno ispitati načine kako majke i očevi obavljaju svoju ulogu roditelja i identificirati njihove percepcije očinstva i majčinstva. Konačan cilj je kroz navedeno prepoznati i objasniti koncept suroditeljstva te prepoznati i objasniti koncept novog očinstva. Kako bi se ispitao cilj, korištena je metoda intervjua. Prema dobivenim rezultatima istraživanja, majčinske i očinske prakse uglavnom se podudaraju, odnosno očevi, kao i majke, obavljaju aktivnosti poput hranjenja, igranja i presvlačenja djeteta. Dakle, rezultati ukazuju na uključenost oca u odgoj tako dokazujući njegovu promijenjenu ulogu. Doživljaj roditeljske uloge uglavnom je opisan kroz emocije sreće, zadovoljstva i ispunjenja, uz neke neugodne emocije poput straha i nesigurnosti koje su kod očeva osobito izražene u razdoblju neposredno nakon rođenja djeteta. Također, prema dobivenim rezultatima suroditeljstvo je prisutno te se ostvaruje kroz različite načine suradnje, poput podjele poslova, razmjene informacija o djetetu, dogovaranje te obostranim pružanjem podrške supružnikaThe family is a fundamental social community that is in constant contact with the environment. Consequently, the family is affected by various social changes, causing its changed structure and characteristics. Thus, some changes such as the emancipation of women in the business sphere, the change of traditional beliefs, the aspiration for gender equality, the strengthening of individualism have led to new insights and changes in family life. A significant change is the father's role, who is undergoing a transformation from a passive and cold parent to an active, involved and interested father in the care and concern for the child. Accordingly, the aim of this research was to describe and understand the role of father and mother in the contemporary family, that is, to examine the ways in which mothers and fathers perform their role as parents and to identify their perceptions of fatherhood and motherhood. The final goal is to recognize and explain the concept of co-parenting, which is realized through mutual support and cooperation, and to recognize and explain the concept of new fatherhood. In order to investigate the objective, the interview method was used. According to the research results, maternal and paternal practices mostly match. That is fathers, as well as mothers, perform activities such as feeding, playing and changing the child's clothes. Therefore, the results indicate the father's involvement in upbringing, thus proving his changed role. The experience of the parental role is mainly described through the emotions of happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment, along with some unpleasant emotions such as fear and insecurity, which is are especially expressed in fathers in the period immediately after the of the child. Also, according to the obtained results, co-parenting is present and is realized through various ways of cooperation, such as division of tasks, exchange of information about the child, agreement and mutual support of spouses
Effects of space weather on GNSS
No full textNajčešći izvor utjecaja svemirskoga vremena je solarna aktivnost, prvenstveno potaknuta Sunčevim 11- godišnjim solarnim ciklusom. Svemirsko vrijeme može imati značajne implikacije na različite tehnologije na Zemlji, kao što je GNSS. GNSS su satelitski sustavi kojima je u cilju pronalaženje i praćenje pozicije na našoj planeti. Ključne pojave svemirskog vremena uključuju solarne baklje, koronalna izbacivanja mase, solarni vjetar, geomagnetske oluje, ionosferski poremećaji, zračenje odnosno radijacija. Geomagnetske oluje i solarne baklje predstavljaju najveće rizike za točnost i pouzdanost satelitskih navigacijskih sustava. Geomagnetske oluje najznačajniji su vremenski događaji koji utječu na GNSS. Često ih uzrokuju ih izbačaji koronalne mase (CME) i brzi tokovi solarnog vjetra u interakciji sa Zemljinim magnetskim poljem. Ove oluje mogu uzrokovati ozbiljne ionosferske poremećaje, što dovodi do velikih TEC varijacija, povećane scintilacije i poremećaja signala. Učinci ovih događaja mogu biti ozbiljne pogreške u pozicioniranju, gubitak signala, vremenske pogreške i povećane greške u preciznosti (DOP). Indeks F10.7 kao i kp indeks nam služe kao važni alati u prognozi svemirskoga vremena. Što se tiče pripreme i spremnosti na smetnje, postoje razne mjere i planovi kao rad na jačoj zaštiti kritičnih sistema u uređajima i održavanje suvišnih dijelova sistema. Još jedan primjer su stariji sistemi koji su manje izloženiji utjecaju. Zabilježeni povijesni događaji nam omogućuju bolje razumijevanje našoj izloženosti svemirskom utjecaju, što je važan faktor u našem napretku razumijevanja ovakvih pojava. Uz sva dosadašnja saznanja, proučavanje svemirskoga vremena je sve relevantnije kako modernija tehnologija postaje sve izloženija utjecaju svemirskoga vremena.The most common source of space weather influences is solar activity, primarily driven by the Sun's 11- year solar cycle. Space weather can have significant implications for various technologies on Earth, such as GNSS. GNSS are satellite systems whose goal is to find and track the position on our planet. Key phenomena of space weather include solar flares, coronal mass ejections, solar wind, geomagnetic storms, ionospheric disturbances, radiation. Geomagnetic storms and solar flares pose the greatest risks to the accuracy and reliability of satellite navigation systems. Geomagnetic storms are the most significant weather events affecting GNSS. They are often caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and fast streams of the solar wind interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. These storms can cause severe ionospheric disturbances, leading to large TEC variations, increased scintillation and signal disturbances. The effects of these events can be severe positioning errors, signal loss, timing errors, and increased errors of precision (DOP). The F10.7 index as well as the kp index serve us as important tools in space weather forecasting. As for preparation and preparedness for disturbances, there are various measures and plans such as development of stronger protection of critical systems in devices and maintenance of redundant parts of the system. Another example is older systems that are less exposed to influence. Recorded historical events allow us to better understand our exposure to cosmic influence, which is an important factor in our progress in understanding such phenomena. With all the knowledge so far, the study of space weather is more and more relevant as modern technology becomes more and more exposed to the influence of space weather

Rad obuhvaća analizu različitih metoda hlađenja, uključujući direktne i indirektne sustave rashlade te detaljno opisuje osnovne elemente tih sustava poput cjevovoda, ventila, pumpi i izmjenjivača topline. Poseban fokus stavljen je na probleme koji se javljaju u radu rashladnih sustava, uključujući koroziju, nakupljanje kamenca, obraštanje i djelovanje mikroorganizama. U radu su opisane metode tretiranja rashladne vode kako bi se minimizirali ovi problemi i osigurala dugotrajna funkcionalnost sustava. Rad također pruža pregled naprednih centraliziranih sustava rashlade, koji nude kvalitetniju regulaciju temperature, smanjenje broja komponenti i niže troškove održavanja. Uz to, analizirani su i tradicionalni konvencionalni sustavi rashlade, kao i jednostavni direktni sustavi hlađenja. Zaključuje se da, iako voda kao rashladno sredstvo ima svoje prednosti, potrebna je i njena dodatna obrada i korištenje aditiva kako bi se spriječili uobičajeni problemi te se naglašava važnost pravilnog održavanja i odabira sustava rashlade u brodogradnji. Regulacija centraliziranog rashladnog sustava na brodskim motorima je složen proces koji zahtijeva integraciju različitih tehnoloških komponenata i sustava upravljanja. Cilj je održati optimalne radne uvjete, maksimalnu efikasnost i sigurnost operacija na broduThis work examines cooling systems on ships, which are crucial elements in maintaining optimal operating conditions of ship engines. The work includes an analysis of various cooling methods, including direct and indirect cooling systems, and provides a detailed description of the fundamental components of these systems, such as pipelines, valves, pumps, and heat exchangers. Special focus is placed on the problems that occur in the operation of cooling systems, including corrosion, scale buildup, fouling, and the action of microorganisms. The work describes methods for treating cooling water to minimize these issues and ensure the long-term functionality of the systems. The work also provides an overview of advanced centralized cooling systems, which offer more precise temperature control, a reduction in the number of components, and lower maintenance costs. In addition, traditional conventional cooling systems, as well as simple direct cooling systems, are also analysed. One can conclude that, although water as a coolant has its advantages, additional treatment and the use of additives are necessary to prevent common problems, and it emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance and selection of cooling systems in shipbuilding. Control of centralized cooling system on ship engines is a complex process that requires the integration of various technological components and management systems. The goal is to maintain optimal operating conditions, maximum efficiency, and safety of operations on board
Provoking factors of migraine headache
No full textPojavnost migrenske glavobolje karakterizirana je učestalim napadajima snažne glavobolje. U suvremenom svijetu nije došlo do potpunog otkrivanja njezinih uzroka. Na globalnoj razini, ovaj problem javlja se kod 15-18% svjetske populacije i to dvostruko češće kod žena u odnosu na muškarce. U provocirajuće faktore mogu se ubrojiti pojava stresa, hormonalne promjene, određeni način prehrane, nedostatak sna te jaka svjetlost ili zvuk. Svi provocirajući faktori ne izazivaju isključivo samo jedan oblik migrene, već je moguće izazvati migrenu bez aure, migrenu s aurom ili kroničnu migrenu. Osnovni cilj ovog rada je razmotriti različite vrste provocirajućih faktora te ih detaljno opisati, zatim istražiti kako pojedini provocirajući faktori utječu na neurološke i fiziološke procese koji dovode do pojave migrene. Potom, u radu će se pružiti smjernice za prepoznavanje i izbjegavanje provocirajućih faktora, predložiti promjene u načinu života koje mogu smanjiti učestalost i intenzitet migrenskih napadaja, kao i razmotriti trenutne strategije prevencije i liječenja migrene s posebnim naglaskom na individualizirani pristup koji uzima u obzir specifične provocirajuće faktore kod svakog pacijentaThe occurrence of migraine headache is characterized by frequent attacks of severe headache, even in the modern world its causes have not been fully discovered. On a global level, this problem occurs in 15-18% of the world's population, twice as often in women as in men. Provocative factors can include stress, hormonal changes, a certain diet, lack of sleep, and strong light or sound. All provoking factors do not exclusively cause only one form of migraine, but it is possible to cause migraine without aura, migraine with aura or chronic migraine. The main goal of this paper is to consider different types of provoking factors, describe them in detail, and then investigate how certain provoking factors affect the neurological and physiological processes that lead to the occurrence of migraine. Then, the paper will provide guidelines for identifying and avoiding provoking factors, suggest lifestyle changes that can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks, as well as review current migraine prevention and treatment strategies, with special emphasis on an individualized approach that takes into account specific provoking factors in each patient
Shakespeareove složenice u Hamletu
No full textThe general aim of this paper was to analyse the compounds that William Shakespeare used in his most important tragedy, “Hamlet”. Compounding is a morphological process that creates new words through combining more than one root. In English there are more types of compounds such as: compound nouns, compound adjectives, compound verbs, blends, acronyms, canonical or non-canonical compounds and endocentric, exocentric or copulative compounds. In his works, Shakespeare imaginatively utilized different types, but mostly adjectival and nominal compounds. Using these structures, he enriched his language and provided interesting wordplay, but he also portrayed his characters’ emotional and psychological state, which can be observed in the persona of Hamlet. In this text, Shakespeare mostly used noun compounds, either a combination of two nouns, noun and adjective or noun and verb in past or present participle. Also, it is important to note the use of exocentric metaphorical compounds which contribute to the uniqueness of the text.Glavni cilj ovog rada bio je analizirati složenice koje je William Shakespeare koristio u svojoj najvažnijoj tragediji, Hamletu. Slaganje je morfološki process kojim se stvaraju nove riječi kombiniranjem više od jednog korijena. U engleskom imamo više tipova složenica kao što su: imenske složenice, pridjevske složenice, glagolske složenice, mješavine, akronimi, složenice s kanonske ili nekanonske složenice, te endocentrične, egzocentrične i kopulativne složenice. U svojim djelima, Shakespeare je maštovito koristio različite tipove, ali najviše pridjevne i imenske složenice. Koristeći ove strukture, obogatio je svoj jezik i priuštio zanimljivu igru riječi, ali je isto tako pokazao psihičko i emocionalno stanje svojih likova, što možemo primjetiti kroz Hamletov lik. U ovom tekstu, Shakespeare većinom koristi imenske složenice, kombinaciju dvije imenice, imenice i pridjeva ili imenice i glagola u prošlom ili sadašnjem participu. Također, bitno je naglasiti korištenje egzocentričnih metaforičkih složenica koje doprinose jedinstvenosti teksta
Activities of Aloysius Stepinac in the Second World War and postwar
No full textCilj ovog završnog rada je ukazati na istinitost djelovanja Alojzija Stepinca u Drugom svjetskom ratu i poraću, kao i njegov odnos prema vlastima pod okriljem kojih je živio i radio. U prvom dijelu rad je ponajviše orijentiran na Stepinčevo djelovanje u predratnim okolnostima koji čitatelja nastoji uvesti u srž Stepinčeve zauzetosti i brige za hrvatski narod koji je u Kraljevini Jugoslaviji bio obespravljen od strane srpske hegemonije i jugoslavenskog unitarizma. Pored navedenog nastoji se pokazati i Stepinčeva velikodušna pomoć izbjeglicama pred naletom rasnih progona. U središnjem dijelu je detaljno opisano Stepinčevo djelovanje pod okriljem NDH te njegovo protivljenje nemoralnim postupcima vlasti. Također se rad bazira na sveobuhvatnu pomoć Židovima, Srbima, logorašima kao i nebrojnim drugim ljudima koji su tražili Stepinčevu pomoć. Poseban naglasak je stavljen na karitativno djelovanje koje se predstavlja kao glavna i najbitnija odrednica Stepinčevog rada i života. Nadalje u periodu poraća i komunističkih vlasti fokus je stavljen na Stepinčevu nepopustljivost komunizmu pri čemu je štitio prava Katoličke crkve i hrvatskog naroda.The goal of this final paper is to point out the truthfulness of Aloysius Stepinac activities in the Second World War and its aftermath, as well as his relationship with the authorities under whose auspices he lived and worked. In the first part, the work is mostly oriented towards Stepinac's activities in the pre-war circumstances, which tries to introduce the reader to the core of Stepincac's busyness and concern for the Croatian people, who in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia were disenfranchised by Serbian hegemony and Yugoslav unitarism. In addition to the above, Stepinac's generous help to refugees before the onslaught of racial persecution is also shown. In the central part, Stepinac's activities under the auspices of the NDH and his opposition to the immoral actions of the authorities are described in detail. The work is also based on comprehensive assistance to Jews, Serbs, camp inmates as well as countless other people who sought Stepinac's help. Special emphasis is placed on charitable work, which is presented as the main and most important determinant of Stepinac's work and life. Furthermore, in the period of the postwar under the communist authorities, the focus was placed on Stepinac's intransigence to communism, where he protected the rights of the Catholic Church and the Croatian people
Christian inspiration in Paul Claudel'spoetry
No full textCe mémoire est dédié au poète, dramaturge et diplomate français Paul Claudel. Le but de ce mémoire est de mettre en évidence son inspiration chrétienne présente dans sa poésie et de trouver, à travers l'analyse de poèmes issus de divers recueils, des éléments et motifs communs témoignant de sa profonde foi chrétienne, de son attachement à la Bible et de ses réflexions profondes et pensées perspicaces sur le monde, Dieu, l'homme, la mortalité et la vie éternelle. Son parcours de vie est particulièrement intéressant si l'on prête attention à sa relation avec l'Église et avec lui-même. À Paris, durant son adolescence, il a perdu la foi et a complètement négligé l'Église, captivé par les idéaux et l'état d'esprit général de l'époque, puis s'est converti et, à partir de ce moment-là, a consacré tout son travail, sa vie et ses œuvres à Dieu en étudiant la Bible, ainsi que la théologie et la philosophie. Inspiré par sa conversion, Claudel commence à écrire ses œuvres littéraires, notamment des pièces de théatre et des poèmes, où il transforme ses pensées en chefs-d'œuvre avec des vers apparemment simples, mais imprégnés de pensées profondes et complexes. L'accent de ce travail a été mis sur sa poésie, et l'analyse de divers vers témoignant de son engagement dans la diffusion de la pensée chrétienne et de sa compréhension du monde et de Dieu. Le mémoire présente des poèmes tirés des recueils Poésies, Cinq grandes odes et Connaissance de l'Est.Ovaj diplomski rad posvećen je francuskom pjesniku, dramaturgu i diplomatu Paulu Claudelu. Cilj je ovog diplomskog rada istaknuti njegovu kršćansku inspiraciju prisutnu u njegovoj poeziji te kroz analize pjesama iz različitih zbirki pronaći zajedničke elemente i motive kao dokaz njegove jake kršćanske vjere, posvećenosti Bibliji i dubokog i pronicljivog razmišljanja o svijetu, Bogu, čovjeku, smrtnosti i vječnom životu. Njegov životni put bio je posebno zanimljiv ako se obrati pažnja na njegov odnos sa Crkvom i samim sobom. U Parizu je tijekom adolescencije izgubio svoju vjeru i zanemario Crkvu u potpunosti zanesen idealima i tadašnjim općim stanjem svijesti nakon čega se preobratio i od tog trenutka sav svoj rad, život i književna djela posvećuje Bogu proučavanjem Biblije uz teologiju i filozofiju. Potaknut svojim preobraćenjem, Claudel počinje pisati svoja književna djela, posebno drame i poeziju, gdje svoje misli pretvara u remekdjela sa naočigled jednostavnim stihovima prožetim dubokim i kompleksnim mislima. Fokus ovoga rada bila je njegova poezija i analiza raznih stihova svjedoči njegovoj angažiranosti u širenju kršćanske misli i njegovu shvaćanju svijeta i Boga. U radu su prikazane pjesme iz zbirki pjesama Poésies, Cinq grandes odes i Connaissance de l'EstThis thesis is dedicated to the French poet, playwright, and diplomat Paul Claudel. The aim of this thesis is to highlight his Christian inspiration present in his poetry and to find common elements and motifs through the analysis of poems from various collections as evidence of his strong Christian faith, dedication to the Bible, and deep and insightful reflections on the world, God, man, mortality, and eternal life. His life journey was particularly interesting given his relationship with the Church and with himself. In Paris, during adolescence, he lost his faith and completely neglected the Church, captivated by the ideals and the general state of consciousness at the time, after which he converted and from that moment dedicated all his work, life, and literary works to God by studying the Bible along with theology and philosophy. Motivated by his conversion, Claudel began writing his literary works, particularly dramas and poetry, where he transformed his thoughts into masterpieces with seemingly simple verses imbued with deep and complex thoughts. The focus of this paper was his poetry, and the analysis of various verses testifying his commitment to spreading Christian thought and his understanding of the world and God. The thesis presents poems from the poetry collections Poésies, Cinq grandes odes, and Connaissance de l'Es
