Application of deep learning methods to the vehicle detection and counting system
No full textMeđu najvećim problemima u urbanim sredinama je problem prometne gužve. Kako bi se spriječilo stvaranje prometnih gužvi, potrebno je pristupiti planiranju prometa. Jedan od takvih pristupa je brojanje vozila. Ovaj rad predstavlja sustav za detekciju i brojanje vozila temeljen na tehnikama dubokog učenja. Sustav koristi algoritam YOLOv8 za otkrivanje vozila u stvarnom vremenu, a DeepSORT je odgovoran za sortiranje vozila. U ovom radu je objašnjen princip rada detektora objekta. Sustav se pokazao uspješnim u brojanju vozila u oba smjera.Among the top concerns in urban regions is the issue of traffic congestion. To prevent the formation of traffic jams, it is necessary to engage in traffic planning. One way to do this is by counting vehicles. This paper presents the vehicle detection and counting system based on deep learning techniques. The system utilizes the YOLOv8 algorithm to detect vehicles in real-time, with DeepSORT responsible for vehicle sorting. In this paper, the working principle of the object detector is explained. The system has proven successful in counting vehicles in both directions
Tanker shipping market
No full textTankeri su brodovi koji prevoze tekuće terete u rasutom stanju kao što je sirova nafta, naftni
proizvodi, kemikalije, ukapljeni plinovi, čak i sok od naranče. Priroda njihova tereta zahtijeva
posebne oblike konstrukcije i opremanja. Neki se tereti, kao ukapljeni plinovi, prevoze na vrlo
niskim temperaturama do -164°C, drugi kao rastopljeni bitumen moraju se prevoziti na
visokim temperaturama do 250°C u neovisnim spremnicima poduprtim posebnim metodama.
Više je podjela tankera, ovisno o veličini i proizvodima koje prevoze. Tema ovog rada je
„Tržište tankerskog brodarstva“ te će u nastavku rada biti predstavljeni tankeri, kao i stanje i
kretanje na tržištu tankerskog brodarstva.Tankers are ships that carry liquid bulk cargo such as crude oil, petroleum products,
chemicals, liquefied gases, even orange juice. The nature of their load requires special forms
of construction and equipment. Some cargoes, such as liquefied gases, are transported at very
low temperatures of up to -164°C, others, such as molten bitumen, must be transported at high
temperatures of up to 250°C in independent containers supported by special methods. There
are several divisions of tankers, depending on the size and the products they transport. The
topic of this paper is "Tanker Shipping Market", and in the continuation of the paper, tankers
will be presented, as well as the state and movement of the tanker shipping market
Public relations in sports - case study Croatian judo federation and National judo federation of France during the 2022 World judo championship
No full textOdnosi s javnošću sve više postaju jedan od značajnijih čimbenika u sportu. Razvojem
društvenih mreža, bržim kolanjem vijesti kroz svijet, sportske zajednice pa i sami sportaši
bivaju još više otkriveni gledateljima/pratiteljima sporta. Naravno, spomenuta globalna
promjena ima svoje prednosti i mane. Ovaj diplomski rad koncentrira se na prikaz te
iskorištavanje društvenih mreža i ostalih medija u svrhu promocije uspjeha manje poznatih
sportova i sportaša unutar država Hrvatske i Francuske. Korištene znanstvene metode u izradi
rada su analiza sadržaja, komparativna analiza, studija slučaja te analiza literature. Nadalje,
analizom sadržaja tj. objava na Facebooku, Instagramu, službenim internetskim stranicama
saveza te internetskim portalima nastoji se prikazati različitost pristupa u komunikacijskoj
aktivnosti dvaju judo saveza što je i sam cilj istraživanja. Detaljnom analizom prikazana je
kvaliteta objava, popularnost same objave (tzv.`lajkovi´ i komentari) i uloženi rad u kreiranju
iste. Rezultati istraživanja odnosno analize obrađeni su prema zadanim zajedničkim
parametrima (učestalost objava, medijski učinak itd.). Rad se svodi na konstataciju razlika u
pristupu te kreiranje preporuka za nastavak rada te njegovo poboljšanje (kratkoročni,
srednjoročni te dugoročni plan).Public relations are increasingly becoming one of the most important factors in sports. With
the development of social networks, faster circulation of news around the world, sports
communities and athletes themselves are even more exposed to sports viewers/followers. Of
course, the aforementioned global change has its advantages and disadvantages. This graduate
thesis focuses on the presentation and utilization of social networks and other media for the
purpose of promoting the success of lesser-known sports and athletes within the countries of
Croatia and France. The scientific methods used in the preparation of the paper are content
analysis, comparative analysis, case study and literature analysis. Furthermore, by analyzing
the content, i.e. posts on Facebook, Instagram, the official websites of the federations and
internet portals, the thesis tries to show the diversity of approaches in the communication
activity of the two judo federations, which is the very goal of the research. A detailed analysis
shows the quality of the posts, the popularity of the post itself (so-called `likes' and
comments) and the work invested in creating it. The results of the research and analysis were
processed according to the set common parameters (frequency of publications, media effect,
etc.). The work is reduced to ascertaining the differences in approach and creating
recommendations for the continuation of the work and its improvement (short-term, mediumterm and long-term plan)
Comparative analysis of the Venetian salt industry
No full textOvaj rad istražuje povijest trgovine soli kroz komparativnu analizu administracije soli
u Veneciji i na istočnom Jadranu, s posebnim naglaskom na Zadar i Dubrovnik. Venecija je
razvila sofisticirani sustav upravljanja solju koji je uključivao proizvodnju, transport,
skladištenje i distribuciju, dok su gradovi na istočnom Jadranu imali svoje specifične metode i
strukture. Sol je bila ključni ekonomski resurs za oba područja, ali su Venecija i istočni Jadran
koristili različite administrativne i financijske strategije. Mletačka Republika uspostavila je
monopol na trgovinu solju koristeći inovativne tehnike i financijske instrumente poput
obveznica i mjenica. Analiza također uključuje utjecaj ratova i političkih reformi na trgovinu
solju u oba područja, te uspoređuje učinkovitost i održivost njihovih sustava upravljanja solju.This paper explores the history of the salt trade through a comparative analysis of the
salt administration in Venice and the eastern Adriatic, with a focus on Zadar and Dubrovnik.
Venice developed a sophisticated system for managing salt, including production,
transportation, storage and distribution, while cities along the eastern Adriatic adopted their
unique methods and structures. Although salt was a vital economic resource for both regions,
Venice and the eastern Adriatic implemented different administrative and financial strategies.
The Venetian Republic established a monopoly on the salt trade using innovative techniques
and financial instruments such as bonds and bills of exchange. This analysis also examines the
impact of wars and political reforms on the salt trade in both regions, comparing the efficiency
and sustainability of their salt management systems
The perception of tourists in the city of Dubrovnik regarding the importance of the folk ensemble Linđo as a local brand in promoting intercultural communication
No full textRad se bavi problemom percepcije turista grada Dubrovnika o važnosti Folklornog ansambla „Linđo“ kao domaćeg brenda u promicanju interkulturalne komunikacije. U radu se prikazuje i sama uloga kulture, način kojim je kulturni turizam implementiran u turizam grada Dubrovnika, a potom i Folklorni ansambl „Linđo“ čija je osnovna misija i vizija očuvanje, prezentacija i promocija kulturne nematerijalne baštine, odnosno tradicijskih plesova i pjesama. Također, osim „Linđa“, navedeni su i opisani i brojni drugi ansambli tradicijskih plesova i pjesama, kako u Hrvatskoj, tako i u Europi kako bi se prikazala važnost i načini razmjene komunikacija koja se odvija putem različitih kulturnih oblika, a vode nas do plesa kao komunikacijskog izričaja u kulturi. Kroz rad je sustavno prikazan povijesni razvoj Folklornog ansambla „Linđo“, sve njegove aktivnosti, kao i međunarodna vidljivost, a obrađuje se i tema i proces njegova poželjnog brendiranja. U konačnici, provedeno je istraživanje putem ankete da bi se istražilo viđenje turista grada Dubrovnika o važnosti Folklornog ansambla „Linđo“, o tradicijskim ansamblima općenito, o samoj vidljivost FA „Linđa“, o njegovu radu i djelovanju. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da je Linđo poželjan brend grada Dubrovnika jer svojim radom i djelovanjem doprinosi ne samo očuvanju tradicijskih vrijednosti već i promociji grada Dubrovnika i njegove okolice kao poželjne turističke destinacije.The paper deals with the problem of tourists' perception of the city of Dubrovnik about the importance of the Folk Ensemble "Linđo" as a domestic brand in promoting intercultural communication. The paper shows the role of culture itself, how cultural tourism was implemented in the tourism of the city of Dubrovnik, and then the Folklore Ensemble "Linđo" whose basic mission and vision is the preservation, presentation, and promotion of cultural intangible heritage, i.e. traditional dances and songs. Also, in addition to "Linđo", numerous other ensembles of traditional dances and songs, both in Croatia and in Europe, are listed and described to show the importance and ways of communication exchange that takes place through different cultural forms, and lead us to dance as of communicative expression in culture. The paper systematically presents the historical development of the "Linđo" Folklore Ensemble, all its activities, as well as its international visibility. Also, it deals with the topic and process of its desirable branding. Finally, a survey was conducted to investigate the opinion of Dubrovnik tourists about the importance of the "Linđo" Folklore Ensemble, traditional ensembles in general, the very visibility of the "Linđo" Folklore Ensemble, its work and activities. The research determined that Linđo is a desirable brand of the city of Dubrovnik because its work and activities contribute not only to the preservation of traditional values but also to the promotion of the city of Dubrovnik and its surroundings as a desirable tourist destination
Davanje osobnih imena na području juga Hrvatske utjecajem političkih, društvenih i kulturnih promjena u 20. i 21.stoljeću
No full textOsobno ime, ili prosoponim, odnosi se na skup imena po kojima je poznata određena osoba ili životinja, a služi za njihovu identifikaciju. Ime osobi dodjeljuje se pri rođenju, a tradicija davanja imena potječe iz daleke prošlosti, kada su imena omogućavala razlikovanje pojedinaca unutar zajednica. Povijesni zapisi, poput sumerskih tekstova, svjedoče o davanju imena još prije 5000 godina, s najstarijim poznatim imenom Kushim iz Mezopotamije. Imena su često povezana s karakteristikama životinja, biljaka, nebeskih tijela, prirodnih pojava ili materijala, kao što su Vuk, Ljiljana, Ester i Zlatan. Također, imena su često imala vjerske ili božanske konotacije. Tijekom pisanja rada u svrhu ispitivanja postavljenje hipoteze provedeno je istraživanja o načinima davanja osobnih imena među ženskim ispitanicama iz mjesta Ston.A personal name, or prosoponym, refers to a set of names by which a certain person or animal is known, and serves to identify them. A name is assigned to a person at birth, and the tradition of giving a name originates from the distant past, when names made it possible to distinguish individuals within the community. Historical records, such as Sumerian texts, testify to naming as early as 5,000 years ago, with the oldest known name being Kushim from Mesopotamia. Names are often associated with characteristics of animals, plants, celestial bodies, natural phenomena or materials, such as Vuk, Lily, Ester and Zlatan. Also, names often had religious or divine connotations. During the writing of the paper, for the purpose of testing the hypothesis, research was conducted on the ways of giving personal names among female interviewees from the town of Ston
History of Fast Food
No full textTema ovog završnog rada je povijest brze hrane. Hrana je neophodna za život i opstanak, a razvoj brze hrane olakšao je i ubrzao njezinu pripremu i konzumaciju. Brza hrana postoji duže nego što većina ljudi pretpostavlja. Naime, počeci brze hrane sežu čak do antičkog Rima, Kine i Mezopotamije. Brza hrana kakvu danas poznajemo svoje začetke bilježi u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Tijekom industrijalizacije došlo je do veće popularizacije i razvoja brze hrane i njezine distribucije. Izumi i razvoj različitih vrsta strojeva svakako su doprinijeli razvoju i poboljšanju brze hrane. U završnom radu provedeno je istraživanje o primjerima dobre prakse u području brze hrane. Prikazan je razvoj i popularizacija nekih od najvećih i najpoznatijih lanaca brze hrane, kao što su McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) i Burger King.The topic of this paper is the history of fast food. Food is essential for life and survival,and the development of fast food has made its preparation and consumption easier and quicker. Fast food has existed longer than most people assume. Specifically, the origins of fast food date back to ancient Rome, China, and Mesopotamia. The fast food we know today has its beginnings in the United States. In the period of industrialization, there was a greater popularization and development of fast food and its distribution. The inventions and development of different types of machines certainly contributed to the development and improvement of fast food. This paper includes research that is related to examples of good practice in the field of fast food. Development and popularization of some of the largest and most popular food chains, such as McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Burger King, is presented in this paper
Integration of crisis communication within the context of public relations: a case study of Coca Cola Croatia and Coca Cola Belgium
No full textOvaj diplomski rad istražuje integraciju kriznog komuniciranja u strategije odnosa s javnošću
na primjerima dviju kriza koje su pogodile Coca-Colu u Hrvatskoj i Belgiji. Krizne situacije
predstavljaju izazov za svaku organizaciju, a uspješno krizno komuniciranje ključno je za
održavanje povjerenja javnosti i zaštitu reputacije tvrtke. Kroz analizu službenih izjava i
reakcija tvrtke, primijenjeni su modeli kriznog komuniciranja 5C i 3L kako bi se procijenila
učinkovitost odgovora na krizu.
Istraživanje pokazuje da su i Coca-Cola Hrvatska i Coca-Cola Belgija pokazale nedostatke u
svojim komunikacijskim strategijama. U oba slučaja, nedostatak jasnoće, kontrole i stručnosti
u komunikaciji rezultirao je povećanom nesigurnošću i nepovjerenjem među potrošačima. Iako
je postojala određena zabrinutost za situaciju, izostanak konkretnih informacija i proaktivnog
pristupa dodatno je pogoršao percepciju krize.
Komparativna analiza ukazuje na sličnosti u pristupu kriznom komuniciranju unatoč
vremenskom razmaku od 24 godine između dviju kriza, što sugerira potrebu za sustavnijim
pristupom i bolju integraciju kriznog komuniciranja u odnose s javnošću. Provedeno
istraživanje naglašava važnost pravovremene, transparentne i empatične komunikacije tijekom
kriznih situacija. U radu se zaključuje da postoji djelomična pozitivna korelacija između
integracije kriznog komuniciranja u strategije odnosa s javnošću i efikasnog upravljanja
krizama, ali i da su potrebne značajna unapređenja kako bi se osigurala bolja pripremljenost i
reakcija u budućim krizama.This thesis investigates the integration of crisis communication into public relations strategies
through the examples of two crises that affected Coca-Cola in Croatia and Belgium. Crisis
situations present a challenge for any organization, and successful crisis communication is
crucial for maintaining public trust and protecting the company's reputation. By analyzing
official statements and company responses, the 5C and 3L crisis communication models were
applied to assess the effectiveness of the crisis response.
The research shows that both Coca-Cola Croatia and Coca-Cola Belgium exhibited deficiencies
in their communication strategies. In both cases, the lack of clarity, control, and expertise in
communication resulted in increased uncertainty and distrust among consumers. Although
there was some concern for the situation, the absence of concrete information and a proactive
approach further worsened the perception of the crisis.
Comparative analysis indicates similarities in the approach to crisis communication despite the
24-year gap between the two crises, suggesting the need for a more systematic approach and
better integration of crisis communication into public relations. The conducted research
emphasizes the importance of timely, transparent, and empathetic communication during crisis
situations. The thesis concludes that there is a partial positive correlation between the
integration of crisis communication into public relations strategies and effective crisis
management. However, significant improvements are necessary to ensure better preparedness
and response in future crises
Gastronomy in Ancient Rome
No full textHrana je imala središnju ulogu u obiteljskom, društvenom i vjerskom životu građana antičkog Rima. Društveni status određivao je pristup namirnicama, dok su na prehrambene navike dodatno utjecale geografske i klimatske prilike te kultura i običaji. Antički Rim, kao multikulturalno društvo, razvio je gastronomiju koja se mijenjala i oblikovala pod utjecajem rastuće potražnje za novim namirnicama. Kuhari su primjenjivali razne kulinarske tehnike i metode pripreme hrane, od kojih se neke, poput sporog kuhanja, metode "al cartoccio" i metode "sub testa", koriste i danas. Gastronomija je tada smatrana gotovo umjetnošću, s posebnim naglaskom na prezentaciju. Hrana je imala važnu ulogu u svim značajnim društvenim događajima, a elita je svoj status potvrđivala izborom hrane i pića. Posebno mjesto hrana je zauzimala u rimskoj religiji, gdje je služila za prinošenje žrtava bogovima i duhovima predaka.Food played a central role in the family, social, and religious life of the citizens of ancient Rome. Social status determined access to food, while dietary habits were further influenced by geographical and climatic conditions, as well as culture and customs. Ancient Rome, as a multicultural society, developed a cuisine that evolved and adapted under the influence of growing demand for new ingredients. Chefs employed various culinary techniques and methods of food preparation, some of which, such as slow cooking, the 'al cartoccio' method, and the 'sub testa' method, are still used today. Gastronomy at that time was considered almost an art, with special emphasis on presentation. Food played an important role in all significant social events, and the elite affirmed their status through the selection of food and drink. Food also held a special place in Roman religion, where it was used for offering sacrifices to the gods and the spirits of ancestors
Shipping contracts with a special focus on the voyage charter party
No full textUgovori o prijevozu stvari morem mogu se podijeliti na brodarske ugovore i ugovore o prijevozu pojedinih stvari. U ovom radu fokusiramo se na brodarske ugovore za putovanje. Ovaj tip ugovora odnosi se na prijevoz stvari unaprijed odreĎenim putovanjem. Prema trajanju, brodarski ugovor može biti ugovor na vrijeme (traje odreĎeni period) ili ugovor za putovanje (traje samo tijekom jednog putovanja). Svrha ovog rada je istaknuti važnost brodarskih ugovora i detaljnije objasniti svrhu i specifičnosti brodarskih ugovora za putovanje. Rad ima za cilj pružiti sveobuhvatan pregled brodarskih ugovora za putovanje, od općih pojmova i meĎunarodnih pravila do konkretnih elemenata ugovora i klauzula. Na taj način omogućuje bolje razumijevanje i primjenu tih ugovora u praksi te ističe njihov značaj u pomorskom prijevozu stvari. Analizom brodarskog ugovora na putovanje pokušalo se identificirati njegove najvažnije elemente. TakoĎer, proučeno je hrvatsko zakonodavstvo i relevantne meĎunarodne konvencije koje se odnose na ovaj ugovor. Analizirajući praktičnu provedbu, istraživači su uočili kako se ugovor na putovanje koristi za prijevoz različitih vrsta tereta, od sirovina do gotovih proizvoda, te kako se vozarina odreĎuje na temelju različitih kriterija, poput zapremnine broda, težine ili količine tereta. UtvrĎeno je da su odreĎeni elementi ugovora, poput vremena za ukrcaj i prekostojnica, bitni za osiguravanje učinkovite i pravovremene isporuke tereta.Contracts for the transportation of goods by sea can be divided into charter contracts and contracts for the carriage of specific goods. In this paper, we focus on voyage charter contracts. This type of contract pertains to the carriage of goods for a predetermined voyage. According to duration, a charter contract can be a time charter (lasting for a specific period) or a voyage charter (lasting for a single voyage only). The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of voyage charter contracts and provide a more detailed explanation of their purpose and specifics. The paper aims to offer a comprehensive overview of voyage charter contracts, from general concepts and international regulations to specific contract clauses. In doing so, it enables better comprehension and application of these contracts in practice, underscoring their significance in maritime cargo transportation. Through an analysis of the voyage charter contract, attempts were made to identify its most crucial components and elements. Furthermore, Croatian legislation and relevant international conventions concerning this contract were examined. Through an analysis of practical implementation, researchers observed how the voyage charter contract is utilized for transporting various types of cargo, ranging from raw materials to finished products, and how freight is determined based on diverse criteria such as vessel capacity, weight, or cargo volume. It was revealed that specific contract elements, such as loading times and laytime, are vital to ensuring efficient and timely cargo delivery
