Croatian oral stories and traditions of the Cetinje region
No full textZavršni rad analizira pripovijetke i predaje Cetinskoga kraja koje služe kao ključni elementi kulturnog nasljeđa tog područja. Naglasak će biti na poetici, klasifikaciji i tematskim odrednicama usmenih priča, kao i na njihovoj ulozi u očuvanju kulturnog identiteta. Dotaknuti ćemo se samog prostora proučavanja, spomenuti neke najvažnije kulturne manifestacije, ali i ono najvažnije, obradit ćemo klasifikaciju hrvatskih usmenih predaja i priča, njihov stil te strukturu. Najvažnije što će ovaj rad promovirati jest važnost očuvanja usmenog nasljeđa s generacije na generaciju.The final paper analyzes the stories and traditions of the Cetinje region, which serve as key elements of the cultural heritage of that area. The emphasis will be on the poetics, classification and thematic determinants of oral stories, as well as on their role in preserving cultural identity. We will touch upon the area of study itself, mention some of the most important cultural manifestations, but also the most important, we will deal with the classification of Croatian oral traditions and stories, their style and structure. The most important thing that this paper will promote is the importance of preserving oral heritage from generation to generation
Analysis of the impact of increasing costs on the company's operations
No full textNa globalnom tržištu, kontinuirane promjene rezultiraju promjenama u strukturi troškova poduzeća, stoga efikasno upravljanje troškovima postaje ključno za održavanje konkurentnosti i osiguranje dugoročnog uspjeha poduzeća. Za bolje razumijevanje utjecaja promjene troškova na poslovanje poduzeća, u okviru rada obrađeni su osnovni koncepti troškova zajedno s njihovom detaljnom klasifikacijom kao i ključni pokazatelji profitabilnosti. U svrhu poboljšanja strateških odluka, očuvanja konkurentnosti i privlačenja investitora, razvijen je model za analizu utjecaja povećanja troškova na poslovanje poduzeća. Kroz analizu deset hrvatskih poduzeća u razdoblju od 2020. do 2023. godine, istraženi su utjecaji različitih kategorija troškova na ključne pokazatelje uspješnosti poslovanja. Korištenjem linearne regresije, rezultati su pokazali da troškovi poslovanja, materijalni troškovi i troškovi osoblja značajno utječu na EBITDA i EBIT maržu. Smanjenje operativnih troškova može poboljšati EBIT i neto marže. Povrat na vlastiti kapital (ROE) povezan je s troškovima poslovanja, materijalnim troškovima i osobljem, dok je povrat na investirani kapital (ROIC) povezan s troškovima poslovanja i materijalnim troškovima. Amortizacija i financijski rashodi imaju minimalan učinak na sve pokazatelje. Na temelju rezultata, razvijen je konceptualni model koji naglašava važnost upravljanja troškovima radi maksimizacije profitabilnosti organizacija. Dobiveni rezultati predstavljaju temelj za daljnja istraživanja i optimizaciju troškova unutar organizacija.In the global market, continuous changes lead to shifts in the cost structure of companies, making effective cost management crucial for maintaining competitiveness and ensuring longterm success. To better understand the impact of cost changes on business operations, this paper addresses the fundamental concepts of costs alongside their detailed classification, as well as key profitability indicators. To enhance strategic decision-making, preserve competitiveness, and attract investors, a model has been developed to analyze the impact of rising costs on business performance. Through the analysis of ten Croatian companies over the period from 2020 to 2023, the effects of various cost categories on key performance indicators have been examined. Using linear regression, the results indicate that operating costs, material costs, and personnel costs significantly influence EBITDA and EBIT margins. Reducing operating costs can improve EBIT and net margins. Return on equity (ROE) is associated with operating costs, material costs, and personnel, while return on invested capital (ROIC) is linked to operating and material costs. Depreciation and financial expenses have a minimal effect on all indicators. Based on the results, a conceptual model has been developed that emphasizes the importance of cost management for maximizing organizational profitability. The findings provide a foundation for further research and cost optimization within organizations
Analysis of the relationship between entrepreneurial infrastructure and socio-economic developmnet in Croatia and Slovenia
No full textU ovoj se disertaciji, u razdoblju 2005.-2019., analizira razvoj poduzetničke infrastrukture u Hrvatskoj i Sloveniji i njena korelacija s pokazateljima društveno-ekonomskog razvitka. Bilo je potrebno odrediti i definirati ključnu infrastrukturu koja utječe na društveno-ekonomski razvoj te je, s obzirom na izrađeni povijesni kontekst, zaključeno najveći utjecaj na društveno ekonomski razvitak ovih dviju zemalja imaju poduzetničke zone, poduzetnički inkubatori i razvojne agencije. Kako bi se dobila objektivnija slika društveno-gospodarskih uvjeta provedena je komparativna analiza gospodarskog i društvenog razvitka Hrvatske i Slovenije nakon osamostaljenja i izlaska iz bivše države 1991. godine, odnosno tranzicija društvenog i gospodarskog sustava obiju zemalja. U usporednom prikazu razvoja poduzetničke infrastrukture sintetizirane su zajedničke karakteristike i različitosti u procesu razvoja poduzetničke infrastrukture obiju zemalja te su utvrđene specifične i zajedničke karakteristike u pozitivnim i uspješnim aktivnostima i rezultatima, ali i u poteškoćama i negativnim refleksijama tijekom vremena u poticanju razvoja poduzetništva, uz pomoć identificiranih ključnih varijabli poduzetničke infrastrukture. Poduzetnički je ekosustav također sagledan u kontekstu gospodarskog i društvenog razvoja, uz pokretače poduzetničke produktivnosti i europske razvojne strategije. Kvantitativnim su istraživanjem opisane i interpretirane promatrane varijable: kretanje brojeva poduzetničkih zona, poduzetničkih inkubatora, razvojnih agencija te bruto domaćeg proizvoda (BDP-a) prema tržišnim cijenama i zaposlenosti za obje države i to vrijednostima varijabli verižnog indeksa te aritmetičke i geometrijske sredine stopa rasta, dok su regresijskom analizom testirane hipoteza i pomoćne hipoteze i izvedeni zaključci. Sumarno, potvrđeno je apsolutno postojanje korelacije između svih ključnih varijabli poduzetničke infrastrukture i zaposlenosti i BDP-a prema tržišnim cijenama u Hrvatskoj, dok to za Sloveniju nije slučaj i korelacija je evidentna samo u slučaju hipoteze H2 tj. između svih triju ključnih varijabli poduzetničke infrastrukture i BDP-a prema tržišnim cijenama.This dissertation analyzes, in the period 2005-2019. in Croatia and Slovenia, the development of entrepreneurial infrastructure and its correlation with indicators of socio-economic development. For the same, it was necessary to determine and define the key infrastructure that has an impact on socio-economic development and, considering the created historical context of it, it was concluded that with regard to various forms, the greatest impact on the socio economic development of these two countries is of the entrepreneurial zones, business incubators and development agencies. In order to get a more objective picture of socio economic conditions, a comparative analysis of the economic and social development of Croatia and Slovenia after independence and exit from the former state in 1991, as well as the transition of the social and economic system of both countries, was carried out. In the comparative presentation of the development of entrepreneurial infrastructure, the common characteristics and differences in the process of developing the entrepreneurial infrastructure of both countries were synthesized and specific and common characteristics were determined in positive and successful activities and results, but also in difficulties and negative reflections over time in encouraging the development of entrepreneurship, with the help of identified key variables of the business infrastructure. The entrepreneurial ecosystem is also viewed in the context of economic and social development, along with drivers of entrepreneurial productivity and European development strategies. Quantitative research described and interpreted the observed variables: the movement of the number of entrepreneurial zones, entrepreneurial incubators, development agencies and gross domestic product (GDP) according to market prices and employment for both countries, namely the values of the variables chain index and the arithmetic and geometric mean of the growth rate, while the hypothesis and auxiliary hypotheses were tested by regression analysis and conclusions were drawn. In summary, the absolute existence of correlation between all key variables of entrepreneurial infrastructure and employment and GDP according to market prices was confirmed in Croatia, while this is not the case for Slovenia and the correlation is evident only in the case of hypothesis H2, i.e. between all three key variables of entrepreneurial infrastructure and of GDP according to market prices
Laparoscopic treatment of hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease in Zadar General Hospital
No full textUvod: Hijatalna hernija je stanje u kojem dio želuca izlazi kroz otvor dijafragme u prsni koš, što može izazvati gastroezofagealnu refluksnu bolest (GERB) i druge simptome poput žgaravice, regurgitacije, boli u epigastriju i prsima te kroničnog kašlja. Zbog preklapanja simptoma s drugim probavnim problemima, dijagnoza može biti izazovna. Napretkom istraživanja otkriveni su značajni patofiziološki mehanizmi koji povezuju hijatalnu herniju i GERB. Rano proučavanje fokusiralo se na lokalnu patofiziologiju, dok se sada više pažnje pridaje međusobnoj povezanosti simptoma i dijagnostičkim aspektima, s ciljem boljeg tretmana i razumijevanja bolesti. Cilj: Glavni cilj istraživanja je analizira laparoskopskog liječenja hijatalne hernije i GERB-a kod bolesnika operiranih navedenom metodom u Općoj bolnici Zadar. Ispitanici i metode istraživanja: U istraživanju će se koristiti podatci svih bolesnika s dijagnosticiranu simptomatsku hijatalnu herniju i GERB operiranih laparoskopskom metodom u razdoblju od 2015. do 2023. godine. Koristiti će se podatci iz bolničkog informacijskog sustava Opće bolnice Zadar. Nakon što se prikupe relevantni podatci, provest će se analiza koristeći deskriptivne statističke metode i program Microsoft Excel. Rezultati: Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno ukupno 51 bolesnik operiran laparoskopskom metodom u periodu od 2015. do 2023. godine. Zaključak: Zaključak ovog istraživanja naglašava važnost prepoznavanja i pravovremenog liječenja hijatalne hernije i GERB-a, posebno s obzirom na njihov utjecaj na kvalitetu života pacijenata. Laparoskopska metoda liječenja pokazala se kao učinkovita opcija s niskom stopom komplikacija, pružajući pacijentima brži oporavak i bolje postoperativne rezultate. Obzirom na rezultate istraživanja provedenog na pacijentima u Općoj bolnici Zadar, laparoskopska kirurgija se može smatrati zlatnim standardom u liječenju hijatalne hernije i GERB-a.Introduction: Hiatal hernia is a condition where a part of the stomach protrudes through an opening in the diaphragm into the chest cavity, which can cause gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and other symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, abdominal and chest pain, and chronic cough. Due to symptom overlap with other digestive issues, diagnosis can be challenging. Advances in research have revealed significant pathophysiological mechanisms linking hiatal hernia and GERD. Early studies focused on local pathophysiology, whereas current research emphasizes the interconnection of symptoms and diagnostic aspects to improve disease management and understanding. Objective: The main aim of this study is to analyze the laparoscopic treatment of hiatal hernia and GERD, with a particular focus on the case presentation of patients treated using this method at the General Hospital Zadar. Participants and Methods: The study will utilize data from all patients diagnosed with hiatal hernia who underwent laparoscopic surgery between 2015 and 2023. The analysis will be based on the hospital information system (BIS) of the General Hospital Zadar to present patient cases. After collecting relevant data using case presentation forms, data will be analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and Microsoft Excel. Results: The database search identified a total of 49 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery between 2015 and 2023. Five patients were excluded from further analysis due to insufficient data, resulting in a final analysis of 44 patients. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of recognizing and treating hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) promptly, particularly considering their impact on patients' quality of life. Laparoscopic treatment has proven to be an effective option with a low complication rate, offering patients quicker recovery and better postoperative outcomes. Based on the study's overall results conducted at the General Hospital Zadar, laparoscopic surgery can be considered the gold standard in treating hiatal hernia, potentially reducing GERD symptoms

Ce mémoire inclut deux parties distinctes : l’une théorique et l’autre pratique. La première partie explore les concepts fondamentaux de la phraséologie ainsi que les différentes typologies des expressions phraséologiques. La deuxième partie propose la traduction de l’extrait du roman en croate, accompagnée d’une analyse approfondie des solutions de traduction qui ont été choisies. Les unités phraséologiques de l’extrait sont classées en trois groupes proposés par Igor Mel’čuk : locutions, collocations et clichés. Quant à l’analyse de la traduction des unités phraséologiques, elle se base sur le cadre de classement de Monika Sułkowska, qui distingue les équivalents en homologues, correspondants partiels et idiotismes. Enfin, nous présentons une conclusion qui synthétise les résultats de notre recherche.Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se analizom frazeoloških jedinica prisutnih u ulomku romana Kad sam bio umjetničko djelo književnika Érica-Emmanuela Schmitta. Rad se sastoji od dva različita dijela : teorijskog i praktičnog. Prvi dio istražuje temeljne pojmove frazeologije kao i različite tipologije frazeoloških izraza. Drugi dio nudi prijevod ulomka romana na hrvatski jezik koji je popraćen dubinskom analizom odabranih prijevodnih rješenja. Frazeološke jedinice iz ulomka razvrstane su u tri skupine koje predlaže Igor Mel’čuk : fraze, kolokacije i klišeji. Što se tiče analize prijevoda frazeoloških jedinica, ona se temelji na klasifikaciji Monike Sułkowske koja ekvivalente dijeli na homologne izraze, djelomične ekvivalente i idiotizme. Na kraju donosimo zaključak koji sažima rezultate našeg istraživanja.This master’s thesis focuses on the analysis of phraseological units present in an extract from the novel When I was a work of art by the writer Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt.

Challenges of human resources management in hotel companies
No full textPosljednjih godina turizam je doživio značajan rast i razvoj, uspostavljajući se kao važna komponenta globalne ekonomije. Kao radno intenzivna djelatnost, turizam predstavlja značajan izvor radnih mjesta. Istovremeno, ljudski faktor u turizmu igra presudnu ulogu u osiguravanju kvalitete usluge i zadovoljstvu potrošača. Iako se trend implementacije tehnoloških inovacija koje imaju za cilj zamjenu ljudskih resursa povećava, mogućnosti zamjene ljudskog faktora tehnologijom u sektoru turizma, a posebno u hotelijerstvu, ostaju izrazito ograničene zbog nematerijalne prirode turističkih usluga. Kvaliteta pružene usluge značajno ovisi o osobnim karakteristikama pojedinca koji uslugu pruža, uključujući osobnost, stavove, ponašanje i druge osobine koje zajedno utječu na iskustvo gosta, a time i na uspješnost poslovanja organizacije. Stoga, učinkovito upravljanje ljudskim resursima (ULJP) postaje ključno za postizanje i održavanje konkurentske prednosti te uspjeha organizacije. Hotelijerstvo ima značajnu ulogu u razvoju turizma, prvenstveno zbog ekonomskih utjecaja koje ostavlja na destinacije i lokalne zajednice. Međutim, sektor se suočava s brojnim izazovima, uključujući sezonalnost, nedostatak radne snage, niske plaće, negativne percepcije o sektoru u pogledu stabilnosti i visoke stope fluktuacije radnog kadra. Ovi izazovi zahtijevaju primjenu različitih strategija upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima i strukturirani pristup svih razina hotelskog menadžmenta kako bi se osigurala konkurentnost organizacije na dinamičnom turističkom tržištu. Cilj ovog rada je identificirati izazove s kojima se menadžeri suočavaju u suvremenom poslovanju hotelskih tvrtki. Kako bi se to postiglo, provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje putem polustrukturiranih intervjua s menadžerima različitih razina unutar nekoliko hotelskih tvrtki u Zadarskoj županiji. Rezultati istraživanja prikazuju složenu prirodu izazova s kojima se hotelske tvrtke suočavaju u pogledu upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima. Osim toga, pregled dostupne literature i analiza postojećih istraživanja dopunjuju empirijsko istraživanje provedeno u ovom radu, ističući najbolje prakse i pristupe u upravljanju ljudskim resursima specifično prilagođene hotelijerskom sektoru. Na temelju uvida dobivenih iz literature i intervjua, rad identificira izazove upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima u hotelskim tvrtkama te nudi preporuke za rješavanje i minimiziranje utjecaja istih na uspješnost poslovanja. Rad naglašava nužnost prilagodbe strategija upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima novim trendovima na tržištu rada te ističe važnost fokusa na razvoj i zadržavanje kvalitetnog radnog 71 kadra s ciljem očuvanja i poboljšanja kvalitete usluge i zadovoljstva gosta, što je ključno za dugoročno uspješno poslovanje.In recent years, tourism has experienced significant growth and development, establishing itself as an important component of the global economy. As a labor-intensive activity, tourism serves as a major source of employment. At the same time, the human factor in tourism plays a crucial role in ensuring service quality and consumer satisfaction. Although the trend of implementing technological innovations aimed at replacing human resources is increasing, the potential for substituting the human factor with technology in the tourism sector, particularly in hospitality, remains highly limited due to the intangible nature of tourism services. The quality of the service provided significantly depends on the personal characteristics of the individual delivering the service, including personality, attitudes, behaviors, and other traits that collectively influence the guest experience and, consequently, the success of the organization. Therefore, effective human resource management (HRM) becomes essential for achieving and maintaining competitive advantage and organizational success. The hospitality sector plays a significant role in tourism development, primarily due to its economic impacts on destinations and local communities. However, the sector faces numerous challenges, including seasonality, labor shortages, low wages, negative perceptions regarding job stability, and high turnover rates. These challenges require the implementation of various human resource management strategies and a structured approach from all levels of hotel management to ensure the organization's competitiveness in the dynamic tourism market. The objective of this thesis is to identify the challenges that managers face in the contemporary operations of hotel companies. To achieve this, qualitative research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with managers at various levels within several hotel companies in the Zadar County area. The research results reveal the complex nature of the challenges faced by hotel companies regarding human resource management. Additionally, a review of the available literature and an analysis of existing studies complement the empirical research conducted in this paper, highlighting best practices and approaches in human resource management specifically tailored to the hospitality sector. Based on insights obtained from the literature and interviews, this study identifies the challenges of human resource management in hotel companies and offers recommendations for addressing and minimizing their impact on business success. 73 This thesis emphasizes the need to adapt human resource management strategies in response to emerging trends in the labor market. It also highlights the significance of prioritizing the development and retention of a skilled workforce to sustain and improve service quality and guest satisfaction, which are essential for achieving long-term business success
Satisfaction and quality of life of caregivers and family members of people in need of palliative care
No full textUVOD: Neformalni njegovatelji su osobe koje izvan formalnog ili profesionalnog zdravstvenog konteksta pružaju skrb pacijentu koji ima potrebu za dugotrajnom zdravstvenom njegom. Neformalni njegovatelji najčešće su članovi obitelji, ili druge osobe bliske primatelju skrbi. CILJ ISTRAŽIVANJA: Utvrditi razinu kvalitete i zadovoljstva životom članova obitelji koji skrbe za pacijente s potrebom za palijativnom skrbi. ISPITANICI I METODE: Ispitivanje se provodilo prilikom kućne posjete pacijentu s potrebom za palijativnom skrbi mobilnog palijativnog tima Doma zdravlja Šibenik. Ispitanici su bili neformalni njegovatelji osoba s potrebom za palijativnom skrbi, a ukupno su uključena 44 ispitanika. Korišten je upitnik modificiran za ovo istraživanje koji se sastojao od demografskih podataka ispitanika, BSFC upitnika (Skala opterećenja za obiteljske skrbnike) te PWI (Indeks osobnog blagostanja). Korišten je licencirani statistički program MedCalc Statistical Software® pri svim analizama, a p-vrijednosti 0,05 za sve analize). Ukupan zbroj PWI (Indeks osobnog blagostanja) upitnika bio je 76%. Nije bilo statistički značajne razlike u srednjim vrijednostima PWI, po pojedinim pitanjima te ukupno, ovisno o različitim analiziranim sociodemografskim čimbenicima (p>0,05 za sve analize). ZAKLJUČAK: Analiza rezultata Skale opterećenja za obiteljske skrbnike naglašava višestruki negativan utjecaj skrbi na njegovatelje, ali također i daje uvid u područja u kojima se njegovatelji dobro snalaze, poput obavljanja potrebnih zadataka skrbi, i područja koja teško održavaju poput osobnog zdravlja i upravljanja emocionalnim stresom. Dob, spol, razina obrazovanja te status zaposlenja nisu pokazali statistički značaju razliku u opterećenju skrbi. Opterećenje je distribuirano obzirom na demografske podatke njegovatelja. Iako se njegovatelji suočavaju s izazovima koji bi ih mogli spriječiti da se osjećaju potpuno zadovoljni svojim životom, oni također posjeduju ili primaju dovoljno podrške i resursa da bi izbjegli osjećaj najniže razine zadovoljstva životom. Njegovatelji koji se suočavaju sa značajnim izazovima, još uvijek imaju općenito pozitivan pogled na svoju ukupnu životnu situaciju. Možemo reći da ipak neki aspekt pravilne podrške neformalnim njegovateljima postoji, bez obzira što neformalna njega nije zakonski regulirana u Hrvatskoj.INTRODUCTION: Informal caregivers are persons who, outside of a formal or professional health context, provide care to a patient who needs long-term health care. Informal caregivers are usually family members or other persons close to the recipient of care. THE AIM OF THE RESEARCH: To determine the quality and life satisfaction of family members who care for patients with a need for palliative care, and the impact of the role of an informal caregiver on their own health and psychosocial state. RESPONDENTS AND METHODS: The test was conducted during home visits to a patient in need of palliative care by the mobile palliative team of the Šibenik Health Center. Respondents were informal caregivers of persons in need of palliative care, and a total of 44 respondents were included. A questionnaire modified for this research was used, which consisted of the demographic data of the respondents, the BSFC questionnaire (Burden Scale of Family Caregivers) and the PWI questionnaire (Personal Wellbeing Index). The licensed statistical program MedCalc Statistical Software® was used in all analyses, and p-values 0.05 for all analyses). The total sum of the PWI (Personal Well-Being Index) was 76%. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean values of PWI, for individual questions and in total, depending on the various analyzed sociodemographic factors (p>0.05 for all analyses). CONCLUSION: Analysis of Family Caregiver Burden Scale scores highlights the multiple negative impact of caregiving on caregivers, but also provides insight into areas in which caregivers do well, such as performing necessary caregiving tasks, and areas that are difficult to maintain, such as personal health and managing emotional stress. Age, gender, level of education and employment status did not show a statistically significant difference in the burden of care. The ceregivers burden was equally distributed with regard to the demographic data of the caregivers. Although caregivers face challenges that could prevent them from feeling fully satisfied with their lives, they also possess or receive enough support and resources to avoid experiencing the lowest levels of life satisfaction. Caregivers who face significant challenges still have a generally positive outlook on their overall life situation. We can say that some aspect of proper support for informal caregivers exists, regardless of the fact that informal care is not legally regulated in Croati
Nutrition in NAFLD non-alcoholic fatty liver with the control of laboratory findings
No full textUvod: Nealkoholna masna bolest jetre (NAFLD) najzastupljenija je kronična bolest jetre koja pogađa četvrtinu svjetskog stanovništva i smatra se ozbiljnim javnozdravstvenim problemom. Oko 90% oboljelih od NAFLD također boluje od metaboličkog sindroma, uključujući pretilost, dijabetes mellitus tip 2 i dislipidemiju. NAFLD je multisistemska bolest, često povezana s bolestima bubrega, kardiovaskularnim bolestima i dijabetesom. Može napredovati od jednostavne steatoze do težih oblika poput nealkoholnog steatohepatitisa (NASH), koji može dovesti do ciroze ili hepatocelularnog karcinoma. Cilj ispitivanja: Istražiti utjecaj pravilne prehrane na vrijednosti laboratorijskih nalaza osoba oboljelih od NAFLD. Materijal i metode: Istraživanje je provedeno retrospektivno tijekom razdoblja od ožujka do svibnja 2024. godine u Općoj bolnici Zadar na Odjelu gastroenterologije. Obuhvaćeni su pacijenti ovog odjela, a analizirani su opći podaci (dob, spol) te laboratorijski nalazi (ALT, AST i GGT) na prvom i kontrolnom pregledu nakon edukacije o pravilnoj prehrani. Podaci koju su prikupljeni pretraživanjem elektronske medicinske dokumentacije potom su se uspoređivali. Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 50 osoba, pri čemu su 70% činili muškarci, a 30% žene. Dob ispitanika varirala je od mlađih od 30 godina (4%) do starijih od 81 godinu (2%). Analiza laboratorijskih nalaza pokazala je sljedeće: ALT: 70,2% ispitanika imalo je normalne vrijednosti na prvom pregledu, a 51,1% na kontrolnom. Nije zabilježena statistički značajna razlika između vrijednosti na prvoj i kontrolnoj posjeti (p=0.109), kao ni prema spolu (p=0.151) ili dobi (p=0.368). AST: 68,9% ispitanika imalo je normalne vrijednosti na prvom pregledu, a 65,1% na kontrolnom. Nema statistički značajnih razlika između pregleda (p=0.572), ni prema spolu (p=0.905) ni dobi (p=0.720). GGT: 45% ispitanika imalo je normalne vrijednosti na prvom pregledu, a 41,5% na kontrolnom. Nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između pregleda (p=0.231), ni prema spolu (p=0.831) ni dobi (p=0.264). Zaključeno je da edukacija o pravilnoj prehrani nije značajno utjecala na promjene laboratorijskih nalaza. Zaključak: Istraživanje je pokazalo da edukacija o pravilnoj prehrani nije značajno poboljšala laboratorijske nalaze kod pacijenata s NAFLD-om, jer nisu utvrđene statistički značajne razlike u vrijednostima jetrenih enzima. Usvajanje zdravih prehrambenih navika otežano je zbog nerazumijevanja dijagnoze, emocionalnih i financijskih prepreka te stresnih okolnosti. Preporučuje se daljnje istraživanje s većim brojem ispitanika i razvoj preventivnih programa za promicanje zdravih prehrambenih obrazaca i ranu detekciju bolestiIntroduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most prevalent chronic liver disease that affects a quarter of world ´s population and is considered a serious public health problem. About 90% of NAFLD patients also suffer from metabolic syndrome, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. NAFLD is a multisystem disease, often associated with kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It can progress from simple steatosis to more severe forms such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which can lead to to cirrhosis or hepatochellular carcinoma. Aim of the study: to investigate the effect of proper nutrition on the values of laboratory findings of people with NAFLD. Materials and methods: The study was conducted retrospectively during the period from March to May 2024 at the Zadar General Hospital in the Department of Gastroenterology. Patients of this department were included as well as general data (age, gender) and laboratory findings (ALT, AST, GGT) were analyzed at the first and control examination after education on proper nutrition. The data collected by searching the electronic medical records were then compared. Results: 50 people participated in the study, with 70% men and 30% women. The age of the participants varied from younger than 30 years (4%) to older than 81 years (2%). The analysis of laboratory findings showed the following: ALT: 70,2% of subjects had normal values at the first examination, 51,1% at the control. There was no statistically significant difference between the values at the first and control visits (p=0.109), as well as by gender (p=0.151) or age (p=0.368). AST: 68.9% of subjects had normal values at the first examination, 65,1% at the control. There were no statistically significant differences between examinations (p=0.572), gender (p=0.905), or age (p=0.720). GGT: 45% of subjects had normal values at the first examination, and 41,5% at the control. No statistically significant difference was found between examinations (p=0.231), gender (p=0.831), or age (p=0.264). Conclusion: The study showed that education on proper nutrition did not significantly improve laboratory findings in patients with NAFLD because no statistically significant differences in liver enzyme values were found. Adopting healthy eating habits is difficult due to a lack of understanding of the diagnosis, emotional and financial obstacles, and stressful circumstances. It was concluded that education on proper nutrition did not significantly affect changes in laboratory findings. Further research with a larger number of subjects and the development of preventive programs to promote healthy dietary patterns and early detection of diseases are recommended
