    Kemijski sastav maslinovog ulja ovisi o sorti masline, nadmorskoj visini uzgoja ali i vremenu berbe te postupku ekstrakcije. Sastoji se uglavnom od oleinske kiseline (do 83%) te ostalih masnih kiselina uključujući linolnu kiselinu (do 21%) i palmitinsku kiselinu (do 20%). Ekstra djevičansko maslinovo ulje ne smije imati više od 0,8% slobodnih masnih kiselina i mora imati povoljna svojstva okusa. Maslinovo ulje proizvodi se mljevenjem ploda masline i ekstrakcijom ulja mehaničkim ili kemijskim putem. Pravilnikom o uljima ploda i komine masline propisan je način svrstavanja, odnosno kategoriziranja maslinovog ulja u sljedeće kategorije: ekstra djevičansko maslinovo ulje, djevičansko maslinovo ulje, ulje lampante. Glavni pokazatelji kvalitete maslinovog ulja su: slobodne masne kiseline, peroksidni brojevi i K-brojevi. Cilj završnog rada je provjeriti ispravnost kategorizacije za četiri uzorka maslinovog ulja.The chemical composition of olive oil depends on type of olive, geographical height, harvest time and extraction procedures. It consists mainly of oleic acid (up to 83%) and other fatty acids including linoleic acid (up to 21%) and palmitic acid (up to 20%). Extra virgin olive oil should not have more than 0,8% of free fatty acids and must have favourable flavour properties. Olive oil is manufactured by grinding the olive fruit and extracting the oil either mechanically or chemically. International olive council uses strict rules to categorize and grade olive oil into the following categories: extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil and lampante oil. Main olive oil categorization parameters are free fatty acids, peroxide value and K-numbers. Main goal of my final paper was to check categorization validity of four different olive oil samples

    U ovome radu opisuju se dvije najvažnije i najčešće metode analize u prehrambenoj industriji, ali i u ostalim industrijama i područjima kao što su prerada metala, biokemija, medicina, forenzika, itd. Navedenim metodama moguće je odrediti širok spektar komponenata u pojedinim tvarima. Spektrometrija se temelji na lomu svijetlosti na prizmi, dok se kromatografske metode temelje na određivanju hlapljivih komponenata. U pivarskoj industriji vrlo je važno održavati konstantnu i stabilnu kvalitetu proizvoda. Gorčina, polifenoli, diacetil, pentandion, esteri i ostale hlapljive komponente važan su pokazatelj kvalitete proizvoda, te imaju jako velik utjecaj na potrošača.This paper describes two most important and mostly used methods of analysis in food industry, but also in other types of industries and areas such as metal industry, biochemistry, forensic ,etc. With the described methods it is possible to determine wide spectar od components in certain materials. Spectrometry is based on light break on prism, while chromatography is based on determination of volatile components. In beer industry it is very important to keep constant and stabile product quality. Bitterness, polyphenols, diacetil, pentandion, esters and other volatile components are important indicator of product quality, and have big infulence on consumer

    Kako bi se što bolje razumijeli učinci elektrosmoga i zaštita od zračenja potrebno je prvo se upoznati za značenjima pojmova radijacije, elektrosmoga, radioaktivnosti i ionizacije. Cilj ovoga rada je što bolje prikazati učinak elektrosmoga na živa bića te kako se zaštititi od svih vrsta zračenja. Poznato je da se spektar elektromagnetskog zračenja sastoji od zračenja iznimno niskih frekvencija, radiovalova, mikrovalova, infracrvenog zračenja, vidljivog spektra, ultraljubičastog zračenja, rendgenskog zračenja, gama zračenja te čestičnog zračenja. Danas je dobro poznato da zračenja imaju učinak na živa bića, tako izlaganje iznimno niskofrekventnim zračenjima, radiovalovima i mikrovalovima izaziva zagrijavanja tkiva živih bića. Infracrvene zrake u dodiru s tijelom uzrokuju titranje i okretanje atoma i molekula tijela. Vidljiva svjetlost na živa bića utjeće promjenom stanja fotona, dok ultraljubičasto zračenje ima štetan utjecaj na živa bića, ali isto tako ovo zračenje se koristi u medicini kao oblik terapije. Ionizacija može uzrokovati ozbiljne biološke i kemijske promjene u tijelu, pa tako primjerice gama zračenje sa sobom nosi teška oštećenja tkiva živih organizama. U organizmu postoje tkiva koja su najosjetljivija na ionizirajuće zračenje, a to su visokoproliferativna tkiva. Temeljem znanstvenih istraživanja donesene su osnovne smjernice i preporuke za zaštitu od zračenja. Kako bi se što bolje provodila zaštita od zračenje u Republici Hrvatskoj postoji mnogo važećih zakona i pravilnika koje je potrebno koristiti i poštivati.In order to better understand the effects of electrosmog and radiation protection, it is necessary to first familiarize yourself with the meanings of the terms radiation, electrosmog, radioactivity and ionization. The aim of this paper is to show as best as possible the effect of electrosmog on living beings and how to protect yourself from all types of radiation. It is known that the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation consists of radiation of extremely low frequencies, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible spectrum, ultraviolet radiation, X- ray radiation, gamma radiation and particle radiation. Today, it is well known that radiation has an effect on living beings, so exposure to extremely low-frequency radiation, radio waves and microwaves causes heating of living beings' tissues. In contact with the body, infrared rays cause the atoms and molecules of the body to vibrate and rotate. Visible light affects living beings by changing the photon state, while ultraviolet radiation has a harmful effect on living beings, but this radiation is also used in medicine as a form of therapy. Ionization can cause serious biological and chemical changes in the body, so, for example, gamma radiation causes severe tissue damage to living organisms. In the body, there are tissues that are most sensitive to ionizing radiation, and these are highly proliferative tissues. Based on scientific research, basic guidelines and recommendations for protection against radiation have been adopted. In order to implement radiation protection as well as possible in the Republic of Croatia, there are many valid laws and regulations that must be used and respected

    U ovom diplomskom radu detaljno je istražena i objašnjena svijest o opasnostima, pravilnom rukovanju, korištenju osobne zaštitne opreme i poštivanju propisa o zaštiti na radu koji su ključni čimbenici u prevenciji bolesti uzrokovanih azbestom. Također, kontinuirano usavršavanje i konstantna edukacija radnika uvelike pomažu da se nezgode svedu na minimum ili čak eliminiraju, te zajedno s odgovornim pristupom poslodavca mogu značajno smanjiti rizik izloženosti azbestu i poboljšati sigurnost na radnom mjestu. Radnici moraju biti pravilno obaviješteni o rizicima i opasnostima svojstvenima njihovom radu na radnom mjestu. Naposljetku, prikazan je primjer zbrinjavanja građevinskog otpada koji sadrži azbest u tvrtki Eurco d.d.ABSTRACT In this master thesis, the awareness of dangers, proper handling, use of personal protective equipment and compliance with occupational safety regulations, which are key factors in the prevention of diseases caused by asbestos, are thoroughly investigated and explained. Also, continuous training and constant education of workers greatly helps to minimize or even eliminate accidents, and together with the responsible approach of the employer can significantly reduce the risk of asbestos exposure and improve workplace safety. Workers must be properly informed about the risks and dangers inherent in their work at the workplace. Finally, an example of the disposal of construction waste containing asbestos in the company EURCO d.d was presented

    Kompozitni materijali s polimernom matricom relativno su novija vrsta materijala u funkciji primjene ojačanja i obnove građevinskih objekata. Primjena kompozitnih materijala u građevinarstvu započela je kao zamjena standardnog čeličnog ojačanja, uz prednost manje težine i odlične kemijske i korozijske postojanosti. Time se ostvarila široka mogućnost primjene polimernih kompozita ojačanih vlaknima i u ostalim industrijama. Danas je na tržištu prisutan veliki opus raznovrsnih ojačala u različitim oblicima, a njihov razvoj je i danas sveprisutan i aktualan. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je objasniti i opisati kompozitne materijale, u prvom dijelu je definiran i pojašnjen pojam kompozitnih materijala i njegove karakteristike. U nastavku se fokus prebacio na pojašnjavanje različitih kompozitnih ojačala, njihove prednosti i mane te vrste punila koja osiguravanja postizanje boljih kompozitnih svojstava. Nakon toga su definirana svojstva i građa polimernih materijala, pri čemu su objašnjenje različite vrste polimernih materijala. Postupci i procesi proizvodnje kompozitnih materijala su objašnjeni na kraju teoretskog dijela. U eksperimentalnom dijelu rada objašnjeni su postupci ispitivanja, odnosno postupak mjerenja kompozitnog poprečnog presjeka i ispitivanje vlačne čvrstoće kompozitnih mreža prema standardnu ISO 10406-1:2015 . Za potrebe ispitivanja uzeta su četiri tipa kompozitnih ojačanja konstrukcije proizvedene od AR-staklenog i ugljičnog ojačanja, impregnirano epoxy smolom. Zaključno je izvršena statistička analiza te je predočen zaključak temeljen na provedenom ispitivanju.Composite materials reinforced with a polymer matrix are a new type of material for reinforcing and reconstructing construction objects. The use of composite material in construction began as a replacement for standard steel reinforcement, with the advantages of lighter weight and greater chemical and corrosion stability. As a result, a broad range of applications for fibrous materials reinforced with polymers in other industries has been realized. Today, there is a large selection of various reinforcements in different forms on the market, and their development is still ubiquitous and relevant today. The purpose of this thesis is to explain and provide a description of composite materials. In the first section, the word composite materials as well as its definition and characteristics are provided. The explanation of various composite reinforcements, their benefits and drawbacks, and the kinds of fillers that guarantee the accomplishment of higher composite qualities came next. Following that, the many forms of polymer materials are explained along with their properties and structure. The steps and methods used to produce composite materials are described towards the conclusion of the theoretical section. In the experimental part of the paper, the test procedures are explained, i.e. the procedure for measuring the composite cross-section and testing the tensile strength of composite meshes according to the ISO standard 10406-1:2015. Four types of composite reinforcements made of AR glass and carbon fibres, impregnated with epoxy resin were used for the tests. In conclusion, a statistical analysis was performed and a conclusion was presented based on the conducted examination

    Završni rad će nam opisati tijek remonta nizvodno turbinskog zatvarača na postrojenju kaplan turbine agregata A na hidroelektrani Čakovec. Rad će nam prikazati sve faze remonta od faze ugovaranja do primopredaje opreme i predaje završnog elaborata o izvedenim radovima. U prvom dijelu ukratko se upoznajemo sa osnovnim informacijama o hidro turbinama, hidroelektrani Čakovec i samoj funkciji nizvodno turbinskog zatvarača. Nakon toga rad opisuje projektni zadatak zadan ugovorom. Drugi dio rada je opisuje izvedbeni dio ugovora, gdje je sami remont podijeljen na dva dijela. Prvi dio se odnosi na projektiranje i planiranje projekta, dok je drugi dio projekta samo izvođenje radova. U današnje vrijeme rok za ispunjenje ugovora ima jednaku važnost kao i financijski dio ugovora, posebno u energetici i distribuciji energije gdje samo jedan dan produžetka radova nosi velike financijske gubitke kupcu. Ovaj rad naglasit će važnost planiranja radova i projektiranja tehnoloških procesa remonta u poštivanju ugovorenog roka s obzirom da je period za izvođenje radova bio ograničen na 12 tjedana što je relativno kratak rok s obzirom na opseg radova.Final work will describe the course of the overhaul of the downstream turbine shutter at the kaplan turbine of unit A at the Čakovec hydroelectric power plant. The work will show us all phases of the overhaul, from the contracting phase to the handover of the equipment and the submission of the final report of performed works. In the first part, we briefly familiarize ourselves with the basic information about hydro turbines, the Čakovec hydroelectric power plant and the very function of the downstream turbine shutter. After that, the work describes the project task given by the contract. The second part of the work describes the implementation part of the contract, where the overhaul itself is divided into two parts. The first part refers to the design and planning of the project, while the second part of the project is only the execution of the works. Nowadays, the deadline for the fulfillment of the contract has the same importance as the financial part of the contract, especially in energy and energy distribution, where just 1 day of extension of the works brings big financial losses. This paper will emphasize the importance of planning technological processes of overhaul in compliance with the agreed deadline, given that the period for the execution of the works was limited to 12 weeks, which is a relatively short period considering the scope of the works.

    Danas je upravljanje projektima jedan od složenijih ljudskih zadataka. To zahtijeva određene vještine, puno iskustva i posebne programe kako bi se upravljalo projektima. U današnje vrijeme, na tržištu, nudi se velik broj programa za upravljanje projektima, no postavlja se pitanje pokrivaju li ti programi sva područja upravljanja projektima koja dobar projektni informacijski sustav mora pokrivati? Na primjeru tri informacijska sustava za upravljanje projektima koji su namijenjeni javnoj upravi došli smo do sljedećih zaključaka: Informacijski sustavi ne pokrivaju sva područja upravljanja projektima, postoje velike razlike u mogućnostima provedbe i izvještavanja kroz informacijske sustave.Today, project management is considered one of the most complex human tasks. Therefore, it requires special knowledge, a lot of experience and special project management software. There is a wide range of project management software on the market today. But the question is if these programs cover all of the project management areas that a good system should include? On the example of three information systems for project management intended for public administration, we came to the following conclusions: These programs do not cover all of the necessary project management areas yet, there are big differences in the possibilities of implementation and reporting through information systems
