Digitalization in maritime container traffic
No full textDigitalizacija u pomorskom kontejnerskom prometu uključuje integraciju napredne tehnologije kao što su pametni kontejneri, pametne luke i blockchain u svijet pomorstva. Time se postiže povećanje efikasnosti, transparentnosti te smanjenje troškova diljem transportnog lanca. Pametni kontejneri opremljeni senzorima omogućuju praćenje stanja i pozicije kontejnera kroz čitav proces transporta. Pametne luke omogućuju brzo, sigurno i efikasno manipuliranje brodskim kontejnerima putem pametnih dizalica i automatski vođenih vozila, a blockchain tehnologija omogućuje izdavanje jedinstvenih tokena koji mogu služiti kao zamjena za predočenje teretnice. Općenito, digitalizacija postepeno modernizira pomorsku industriju te ju čini prilagodljivijom zahtjevima globalne trgovine.Digitalisation in maritime container shipping includes integrating advanced technology such as smart containers, smart ports and blockchain technology into the maritime world. This increases efficiency and transparency and reduces costs throughout the transport chain. Sensor equipped smart containers enable monitoring of the state and position of containers throughout the entire transport process. Smart ports enable fast, safe and efficient manipulation of containers by means of smart cranes and automated guided vehicles, and blockchain technology enables the issuing of unique tokens that can serve as a substitute for presenting the bill of lading. In general, digitalisation is gradually modernising the maritime industry and making it more adaptable to the demands of global trade
Resources of Dubrovnik City in the Function of Dark Tourism Development
No full textMasovni turizam koji se temeljio na suncu i moru, u 21. stoljeću okreće se prema specifičnim oblicima turizma koji se međusobno razlikuju s obzirom na motive i interese turista. Mračni turizam pripada u kategoriju selektivnih oblika turizma i ne predstavlja uobičajene turističke sadržaje i atrakcije, već ljudsku radoznalost usmjerenu prema posjeti mjesta smrti i tragičnih događaja. Ovaj oblik turizma privlači sve veći broj ljudi, iako na prvu ne zvuči kao idealan način provoda slobodnog vremena i odmora te za sobom povlači pitanje etičnosti i moralnosti uz niz pozitivnih i negativnih učinaka na destinacije mračnog turizma. Informacije o katastrofama i njihovim posljedicama privlače ljudsku pažnju, pogotovo u današnje vrijeme kada su vijesti o katastrofalnim događajima senzacija, međutim one također igraju važnu informativnu i obrazovnu ulogu. Na brojnim primjerima u svijetu poput Auschwitza ili Černobila vidljivi su pozitivni učinci implementacije mračnog turizma u ponudu pa se u radu propituje mogućnost grada Dubrovnika da razvije isti. Dubrovnik ima mnogo resursa koji bi služili u svrhu razvoja mračnog turizma, kao što su: otoci Daksa i Lokrum, Muzej Domovinskog rata, Kula Minčeta i tamnice iz doba Dubrovačke Republike, ali se postavlja i pitanje bi li ti resursi bili dovoljno zanimljivi i privlačni za mračne turiste. Rad pruža detaljan uvid u potencijal mračnog turizma u Dubrovniku i analizu stavova lokalnog stanovništva o razvoju istog.Mass tourism, which was based on sun and sea, in the 21st century is shifting towards specific
forms of tourism that differ based on the motives and interests of tourists. Dark tourism belongs to the category of selective forms of tourism and does not represent typical tourist contents and attractions, but rather human curiosity directed towards visiting places of death and tragic events. This form of tourism attracts an increasing number of people, even though at first it may not seem like an ideal way to spend free time and vacation, raising questions of ethics and morality along with a range of positive and negative effects on dark tourism destinations. Information about disasters and their consequences draws human attention, especially nowadays when news about catastrophic events is sensationalized, yet it also plays an important informative and educational role. Numerous examples around the world, such as Auschwitz or Chernobyl, demonstrate the positive effects of implementing dark tourism into offerings, and this paper explores the possibility of Dubrovnik developing the same.Dubrovnik has many resources that could serve the purpose of developing dark tourism, such as the islands of Daksa and Lokrum, the Museum of the Homeland War, the Minčeta Tower, and dungeons from the era of the Dubrovnik Republic, but the question arises whether these resources would be sufficiently interesting and attractive to dark tourists. The paper provides a detailed insight into the potential of dark tourism in Dubrovnik and an analysis of local residents' attitudes towards its development

Women Entrepreneurs - a Phenomenon of Today's Times
No full textKategorija poduzetništva koja bilježi najbrži rast u svijetu su žene poduzetnice. Žene imaju mogućnost značajno doprinijeti poduzetničkim pothvatima i poticati gospodarski napredak stvaranjem prilika za zapošljavanje i povećanjem bruto domaćeg proizvoda, čime igraju ključnu ulogu u ublažavanju siromaštva i rješavanju socijalne isključenosti. Međutim, udio žena koje se odluče za poduzetničku karijeru manji je od udjela muškaraca, a ta razlika postaje sve izraženija kako zemlja napreduje u razvoju. Objašnjenje ove razlike može se naći u ekonomskim i
regulatornim uvjetima kao i brojnim poteškoćama s kojima se žene, iako u puno manjoj mjeri nego nekada, susreću. Međutim, bez obzira na sve, žene poduzetnice, kao što je već predstavljeno, su najbrže rastuća kategorija poduzetništva u svijetu, one su fenomen današnjeg doba, i tema ovog diplomskog rada.The fastest growing category of entrepreneurship in the world is women entrepreneurs. Women have the opportunity to significantly contribute to entrepreneurial ventures and stimulate economic progress by creating employment opportunities and increasing the gross domestic product, thereby playing a key role in alleviating poverty and addressing social exclusion. However, the share of women who choose an entrepreneurial career is lower than the share of men, and this difference becomes more pronounced as the country progresses in development. The explanation for this difference can be found in the economic and regulatory conditions as well as the many difficulties that women face, although to a much lesser extent than in the past. However, regardless of everything, women entrepreneurs, as already presented, are the fastest growing category of entrepreneurship in the world, they are a phenomenon of today's age, and the subject of this thesis
Stavovi bolesnika i medicinskih sestara o astmi
No full textOvaj rad istražuje i uspoređuje stavove pacijenata o astmi i medicinskih sestara o ovoj bolesti,
s posebnim naglaskom na razinu informiranosti, percepciju kontrole bolesti, učestalost
simptoma i izazove u svakodnevnom životu. Istraživanje je provedeno putem anonimne
ankete, koja je uključivala pitanja o učestalosti korištenja lijekova, prisutnosti simptoma,
utjecaju astme na kvalitetu života te razlike u percepciji između pacijenata i zdravstvenih
djelatnika. Cilj rada bio je identificirati eventualne razlike u stavovima i znanju između ovih
dviju skupina kako bi se unaprijedila edukacija i podrška za bolesnike s astmom. Analiza
podataka provedena je pomoću Hi kvadrat testa kako bi se utvrdila statistička značajnost
razlika između različitih kategorija ispitanika.
Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da postoji statistički značajna razlika između pacijenata s
astmom pod kontrolom i onih čija astma nije pod kontrolom, u nekoliko ključnih aspekata:
Učestalost pogoršanja astme u zadnjem mjesecu: Ispitanici s nekontroliranom astmom imali
su značajno veći broj pogoršanja u usporedbi s onima s kontroliranom astmom (p < 0,05).
Osjećaj uzrujanosti i percepcija dovoljne edukacije: Ispitanici s nekontroliranom astmom češće
su se osjećali uzrujano i smatrali da nemaju dovoljno informacija o svojoj bolesti (p < 0,05).
Kontrola bolesti: Osobe s boljom kontrolom astme osjećale su se sigurnije u svoje znanje o
bolesti i bile su manje uzrujane zbog astme. Ovi rezultati potvrđuju hipoteze istraživanja,
ukazujući na to da kontrola astme značajno utječe na učestalost pogoršanja, emocionalno
stanje pacijenata i njihovu percepciju edukacije o bolesti.
Na temelju dobivenih rezultata može se zaključiti da postoje značajne razlike u percepciji i
iskustvima pacijenata s astmom ovisno o tome koliko je njihova bolest pod kontrolom. Ove
razlike naglašavaju važnost edukacije i kontinuirane podrške pacijentima kako bi se poboljšala
kontrola astme i smanjio negativan utjecaj bolesti na njihov svakodnevni život. Preporučuje se
daljnje istraživanje i razvoj edukativnih programa koji će pomoći pacijentima u učinkovitijem
upravljanju njihovom bolešću.This study investigates and compares the attitudes of asthma patients and nurses towards the
disease, with a particular focus on levels of awareness, perception of disease control,
frequency of symptoms, and challenges in daily life. The research was conducted through an
anonymous survey, which included questions about the frequency of medication use,
presence of symptoms, the impact of asthma on quality of life, and differences in perception
between patients and healthcare workers. The aim of the study was to identify potential
III
differences in attitudes and knowledge between these two groups in order to improve
education and support for asthma patients.
Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test to determine the statistical significance
of differences between various categories of respondents. The results of the study revealed
statistically significant differences between patients with controlled asthma and those with
uncontrolled asthma in several key aspects: Frequency of Asthma Exacerbations in the Last
Month: Respondents with uncontrolled asthma had a significantly higher number of
exacerbations compared to those with controlled asthma (p < 0.05) Feelings of Distress and
Perception of Adequate Education: Respondents with uncontrolled asthma were more likely
to feel distressed and believe they lacked sufficient information about their condition (p <
0.05) Disease Control: Individuals with better asthma control felt more confident in their
knowledge about the disease and were less distressed by their asthma. These results support
the research hypotheses, indicating that asthma control significantly affects the frequency of
exacerbations, emotional state of patients, and their perception of education about the
disease.
Based on the findings, it can be concluded that there are significant differences in the
perceptions and experiences of asthma patients depending on the level of control over their
condition. These differences highlight the importance of education and ongoing support for
patients to improve asthma control and reduce the negative impact of the disease on their
daily lives. Further research and the development of educational programs are recommended
to assist patients in more effectively managing their condition
Laseri koji se najčešće primjenjuju u dermatologiji
No full textPrvi laser korišten u medicini napravljen je od sintetičkog rubina. Taj je laser izumio te potom njegove rezultate prikazao američki dermatolog Leon Goldman 1963. godine. Danas je na tržištu dostupan veliki broj različitih lasera, npr. Q-switcher Nd:YAG, Q-switched ruby laser, Q-switched alexandrite laser, pulsed dye laser, dok su stari argonski laseri skoro potpuno izašli iz upotrebe. Osnovna podjela lasera uključuje ablativne, neablativne i frakcijske lasere. Najčešće indikacije za primjenu lasera čine vaskularne i pigmentirane promjene, dobroćudne tumorske promjene, tetovaže, bore, ožiljci i hipertrihoza, a u današnje vrijeme sve je češća upotreba lasera u liječenju akni. Najveća prednost lasera je selektivno uklanjanje promjena koje se temelji na učincima apsorbiranog laserskog zračenja. U radu su opisani laseri koji su dostupni u poliklinikama koje se bave estetskom dermatologijom na području grada Dubrovnika. Dostupni su frakcijski, diodni i Nd:YAG laseri kao i IPL tehnologija. Korištenje lasera kontraindicirano je na mjestu aktivne infekcije, kod trudnica i pacijenata sklonih stvaranju keloida i hipertrofičnih ožiljaka te kod određenih fotosenzibilnih bolesti poput lupusa i porfirije. Najčešće nuspojave uključuju prolazni edem i eritem na mjestu tretmana koji se spontano povlače unutar dva dana. Moguće ozbiljne nuspojave uključuju infekcije, postupalnu hiperpigmentaciju i stvaranje ožiljaka i opeklina. Prije tretmana laserom, potrebno je uzeti detaljnu anamnezu i pravilno odabrati pacijenta za određeni tretman kao i odabrati dgovarajuće postavke na uređaju. Za vrijeme tretmana obavezno je korištenje zaštitnih naočala za pacijenta, liječnika kao i za zdravstvenog asistenta uz pridržavanje drugih mjera sigurnosti.The American dermatologist L. Goldman was the first in the field of medicine to use the laser in dermatology. The laser was made of synthetic ruby and Goldman presented its results in 1963. Today, a large number of different lasers are available on the market, for example Q-switcher Nd:YAG, Q-switched ruby laser, Q-switched alexandrite laser, pulsed dye laser, while the old Argon lasers are almost completely out of use. The basic division of lasers includes ablative, non-ablative and fractional lasers. The most common indications for the use of lasers are vascular and pigmented lesions, benign tumors, tattoos, wrinkles, scars and hypertrichosis. Nowadays the use of lasers in the treatment of acne is increasing. The biggest advantage of the laser is the selective removal of changes based on the effects of absorbed laser radiation. The paper describes six devices from polyclinics in the city of Dubrovnik that offer laser treatments. Fractional, diode and Nd:YAG lasers as well as IPL technology are described. The use of the laser is contraindicated at the site of active infection, in pregnant women and patients prone to the formation of keloids and hypertrophic scars, and in certain photosensitive conditions such as lupus and porphyria. The most common side effects include transient edema and erythema at the treatment site that resolve spontaneously within two days. Possible serious side effects include infections, hyperpigmentation, scarring and burns. Before laser treatment, it is necessary to take a detailed history and correctly select the patient for a specific treatment as well as choosing the appropriate settings on the device. During the treatment, it is mandatory to use protective glasses for the patient and the doctor and apply other safety measures

Business Ethics in Tourism Industry
No full textTema ovog završnog rada je poslovna etika u turističkom sustavu. Bez obzira na ubrzani razvoj tehnologije, u turizmu i prilikom odvijanja turističkih aktivnosti ipak je najbitniji ljudski faktor. Ljudi su jedni od ključnih čimbenika za uspješno i dugoročno poslovanje organizacije, a samim time do izražaja dolazi i važnost primjene poslovne etike u turističkim sustavima. Implementacijom i primjenom poslovne etike na svim razinama organizacije utječe se na zadovoljstvo potrošača, a samim time i na uspješnije poslovne rezultate. Za potrebe ovog završnog rada provedeno je i istraživanje koje se odnosilo na stavove ispitnih osoba u vezi poslovne etike. Ispitane osobe izrazile su i svoje mišljenje u vezi poslovne etike pružatelja usluga u gradu Dubrovniku čije su usluge koristili za vrijeme svog boravka. Jedan od ciljeva ovog rada bio je potvrditi, odnosno odbaciti postavljene hipoteze. Od ukupno tri postavljene hipoteze, dvije hipoteze su potvrđene, dok je jedna odbačena. Potvrđeno je da ispitane osobe smatraju da ukoliko je pružatelj usluga u potpunosti etičan, ne može ostvariti veliki profit i da je etičnost jedna od bitnijih karakteristika koju putnici uzimaju u obzir prilikom odabira i/ili ocjenjivanja pružene usluge. Jedina odbačena hipoteza je da izletnicima, u odnosu na turiste, etičnost pružatelja usluga ne predstavlja bitan razlog za ponovno korištenje usluge. Završni rad napisan je korištenjem različitih metoda istraživanja, a to su: metoda deskripcije, deduktivna metoda, metoda kompilacije, metoda uzorka te metoda analize.Topic of this paper is business ethics in tourism system. Regardless of the rapid development of technology, the human factor is still the most important factor in tourism and in all touristic activities. People are one of the key factors for the successful and long-term business of an organization, and that is why it is important to apply business ethics in tourism systems. The implementation and application of business ethics at all levels of the organization affects consumer satisfaction and, therefore, more successful business results. For the purposes of this paper, a survey was also conducted that was related to the attitudes of the examinees regarding business ethics. They also expressed their opinion regarding the business ethics of the service providers in the city of Dubrovnik whose services they used during their stay. One of the goals of this paper was to confirm or reject hypotheses. Out of a total of three hypotheses, two hypotheses were confirmed, while one was rejected. It was confirmed that the people interviewed in survey believe that if the service provider is completely ethical, he cannot make a big profit and that ethics is one of the more important characteristics that travelers take into account when choosing and/or evaluating provided service. The only rejected hypothesis is that for travelers, in relation to tourists, the ethics of the service provider is not an important reason for using the service again. The paper was written using different research methods: description method, deductive method, compilation method, sample method and analysis method
