    Poduzetništvo predstavlja razvojnu i pokretaĉku snagu pojedinog gospodarstva neovisno da li se radi o malom, srednjem ili velikom poduzetništvu. Poduzetnik nastoji preuzeti odgovornost nad rizikom prilikom zapoĉinjanja odreĊenog poslovnog pothvata s obzirom na to da svaki posao ili ideja koja se nastoji ostvariti treba i novog poduzetnika. Pravim poduzetnikom se smatra onaj koji ideju nastoji provesti u djelo. Malo poduzetništvo se ostvaruje putem osnivanja vlastitih obrta ili trgovaĉkih društava kako bi ostvarili svoje poslovne planove. Mala trgovaĉka društva vrlo se ĉesto susreću s razliĉitim problemima i uvjetima no ipak, mala poduzeća smatraju se jednim od najtemeljnijih izvora konkurentnosti s obzirom na inovacijski potencijal. Razvojem inovacija u malim i srednjim poduzećima ostvaruje se konkurentska prednost i omogućava opstanak na globalnom trţištu. U ovom radu naglasak je na malim i srednjim poduzećima jer će ona generirati budući ekonomski rast. Sama ĉinjenica da je u malim i srednjim poduzećima zaposleno dvije trećine zaposlenih ukazuje na to koliko je bitno razvijati inovacije u malim i srednjim poduzećima. Razvitkom inovacija osigurat će opstanak na trţištu i zadrţati postojeća radna mjesta, ali i osigurati priliku za otvaranje novih radnih mjesta. Cilj ovoga rada je ukazati na vaţnost inovacija u malim i srednjim poduzećima zbog gospodarskog rasta i razvoja. Svrha rada je ukazati na prepreke prilikom razvijanja inovacija u malim i srednjim poduzećima i prikazati naĉine na koje bi se te prepreke mogle smanjiti.Entrepreneurship is the development and driving force of an individual economy regardless of whether it is small, medium or large entrepreneurship. An entrepreneur strives to take responsibility for risk when starting a particular business venture given that any job or idea that is being achieved also needs a new entrepreneur. A true entrepreneur is considered to be one who seeks to put the idea into action. Small business is realized through the establishment of its own trades or companies in order to realize its business plans. Small businesses very often face different problems and conditions, however, small businesses are considered one of the most fundamental sources of competitiveness given innovation potential. The development of innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises achieves a competitive advantage and enables survival in the global market. In this paper, the emphasis is on small and medium-sized enterprises because it will generate future economic growth. The mere fact that two-thirds of employees are employed in small and medium-sized enterprises indicates how important it is to develop innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises. Developing innovations will ensure survival in the market and retain existing jobs, but also provide an opportunity to create new jobs. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises due to economic growth and development. The purpose of the paper is to point out obstacles to developing innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises and to show ways in which these barriers could be reduced

    U diplomskom radu opisuju se sredstva za gašenje i mjere zaštite od požara te potencijalne opasnosti od eksplozije na benzinskoj postaji. U prostoru koji je ugrožen zapaljivim tekućinama i eksplozivnom atmosferom bitno je odrediti zone opasnosti koje zahtijevaju posebne mjere prilikom konstrukcije, ugradnje i uporabe električnih uređaja, koje se prema propisima o protueksplozijskoj zaštiti dijele na zonu 0, zonu 1 i zonu 2. Kako bi sva oprema na benzinskoj postaji bila ispravna i sigurna pri radu, moraju se redovito provoditi tehnička ispitivanja. Potreba za visokom razinom sigurnosti odražava se zbog mogućnosti požara i eksplozija kao posljedice ljudske nepažnje, kvarova i oštećenja na motoru ili njegovim dijelovima gdje može doći do kratkog spoja, mehaničkih iskri, preopterećenja motora, statičkog elektriciteta, udara groma itd. Uz potrebne tehničke mjere zaštite na benzinskoj postaji ključno je educirati i osposobiti zaposlenike za rad na siguran način te početno gašenje požara kako bi svi zaposlenici bili upoznati sa opasnostima na radnom mjestu i osposobljeni ispravno postupiti u slučaju neželjenih izvanrednih situacija.The final paper describes fire extinguishing agents and fire protection measures, as well as the potential danger of an explosion at the gas station. In a space that is threatened by flammable liquids and an explosive atmosphere, it is important to determine the danger zone that requires special measures during the construction, installation and use of electrical devices, which according to the regulations on anti-explosion protection are divided into zone 0, zone 1 and zone 2. In order for all equipment at the gas station was correct and safe during operation, technical tests must be carried out regularly. The need for a high level of safety is reflected by the possibility of fires and explosions as a result of human carelessness, breakdowns and damage to the motor or its parts where there may be a short circuit, mechanical sparks, motor overload, static electricity, thunderstroke, etc. With the necessary technical protection measures at the gas station it is essential to educate and train employees to work in a safe manner and initial fire extinguishing so that all employees are aware of the dangers in the workplace and are trained to act correctly in the event of unwanted emergency situations

    Kuhinjska sol (NaCl) je, u umjerenim količinama, neophodna i značajna za ljudsko zdravlje jer ima važnu ulogu u biokemijskim procesima, međutim zbog prekomjerne konzumacije, sol može biti i opasna za zdravlje čovjeka. Pekarski proizvodi danas su značajan izvor soli te mogu doprinijeti povećanju rizika za razvoj arterijske hipertenzije i drugih bolesti ukoliko se konzumira u nepreporučenim količinama. Cilj predmetnog istraživanja je utvrditi količine soli u pekarskim proizvodima koji se proizvode i prodaju u hrvatskim gradovima te usporedit koncentracije soli u proizvodima s dozvoljenim količinama. Materijal i metode: pekarski proizvodi iz pekara manjih obrtnika iz Zagreba, Karlovca, Rijeke i Varaždina. Udio kuhinjske soli u uzorcima utvrđen je titracijskom metodom po Mohru kojom se određuje količina iona Cl- i Br- korištenjem standardne otopine AgNO3 u neutralnom mediju. Rezultati: Prosječni udjeli kuhinjske soli u analiziranim uzorcima iznose gotovo dvostruko više od vrijednosti predviđene Pravilnikom o žitaricama i proizvodima od žitarica, 2022. Zaključak: Potrebne su daljnje aktivnosti u svrhu smanjenja udjela soli u pekarskim proizvodima.Table salt (NaCl) is, in moderate quantities, necessary and important for human health because it plays an important role in biochemical processes, however, due to excessive consumption, salt can be dangerous for human health. Today, bakery products are a significant source of salt and can contribute to an increase in the risk of developing arterial hypertension and other diseases if consumed in non-recommended amounts. The aim of the subject research is to determine the amount of salt in bakery products that are produced and sold in Croatian cities and to compare the concentration of salt in the products with the permitted amounts. Material and methods: bakery products from small artisan bakeries from Zagreb, Karlovac, Rijeka and Varaždin. The share of kitchen salt in the samples was determined by the Mohr titration method, which determines the amount of Cl- and Br- ions using a standard solution of AgNO3 in a neutral medium. Results: The average share of table salt in the analyzed samples is almost twice the value provided by the ordinance on cereals and cereal products. Conclusion: Further activities are needed to reduce the amount of salt in bakery products

    Poslovi sigurnosti i zaštite na radu od iznimne su važnosti za djelovanje svakog poduzeća, posebice poduzeća s industrijskim postrojenjima u kojima zaposlenici obavljaju fizičke poslove, koriste različite alate, materijale i strojeve. Upravo zbog toga analiziraju se mjere sigurnosti i zaštite na radu u postrojenjima za injekcijsko prešanje plastike. Iako se ovim postupkom mogu prešati i metali i keramika, upravo su polimeri najzastupljenija skupina. Sigurnost i zaštita na radu obavezuje djelatnike, ali i njihove poslodavce koji su im dužni organizirati osposobljavanje i zadužiti odgovornu osobu koja će vršiti nadzor nad njegovom provedbom.Jobs related to safety and occupational health are of utmost importance for the functioning of every company, especially those with industrial facilities where employees perform physical tasks, use various tools, materials, and machines. That is precisely why safety and occupational health measures are analyzed in plastic injection molding plants. Although this process can also mold metals and ceramics, polymers are the most prevalent group. Safety and occupational health obligations apply to employees, as well as their employers, who are responsible for organizing training and appointing a designated person to oversee its implementation

    Turizam daje sve značajniji doprinos održivom razvoju svjetskog gospodarstva, ali je njegov razvoj podložan nizu katastrofalnih događaja. Brojne studije pokazuju da je turizam izuzetno osjetljiv na vanjske čimbenike okoliša, poput prirodnih katastrofa i katastrofa koje je uzrokovao čovjek. Pojava katastrofalnih događaja ne samo da fizički oštećuje materijalnu imovinu (postrojenja i infrastrukturu) turističkih destinacija u relativno kratkom roku nego i dugoročno otežava oporavak i povratak ugleda i imidža turističke destinacije. S obzirom na osjetljivost turističke potražnje vezano za sigurnost, turisti će masovno otkazivati svoje planove putovanja svjesni da putovanje do odredišta podložnog katastrofama može ugroziti njihovu sigurnost. Posljednjih desetljeća turizam se širom svijeta učestalo susreće s takvim krizama i katastrofama. Rijetke su turističke destinacije koje su u potpunosti izuzete od katastrofalnih događaja. U zadnjih dvije godine na području Republike Hrvatske dominantna su dva katastrofalna događaja pandemija COVID 19 i razarajući potresi koji su se dogodili na području Grada Zagreba 2020.g. i na području Sisačko –moslavačke županije 2021.g. U ovom završnom radu istražit će se posljedice pandemije COVID 19 i razornog potresa po pitanju daljnjeg razvoja turizma na području Sisačko – moslavačke županije odnosno grada Siska i Petrinje koji su u zadnje vrijeme počeli razvijati city turizam u kombinaciji s ruralnim turizmom.Tourism makes an increasingly significant contribution to the sustainable development of the world economy, but its development is subject to a series of catastrophic events. Numerous studies show that tourism is extremely sensitive to external environmental factors, such as natural disasters and man-made disasters. The occurrence of catastrophic events not only physically damages the material assets (plants and infrastructure) of tourist destinations in the relatively short term, but also in the long term makes it difficult to recover and restore the reputation and image of the tourist destination. Given the security sensitivity of tourism demand, tourists will cancel their travel plans knowing that traveling to disaster-prone destinations may jeopardize their safety. In recent decades, tourism has encountered such crises and disasters all over the world. Tourist destinations that are completely exempt from catastrophic events are rare. In the last two years in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, two catastrophic events of the COVID 19 pandemic and the devastating earthquakes that occurred in the area of the City of Zagreb in 2020 are dominant and in the area of Sisak-Moslavina County in 2021. In this final paper, the consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic and the devastating earthquake will be investigated regarding the further development of tourism in the area of Sisak - Moslavina County, the cities of Sisak and Petrinja, which have recently begun to develop city tourism in combination with rural tourism
