"Albinism - genetics, quality of life, therapeutic options"
No full textPoremećaji pigmentacije nastaju zbog povećanog ili smanjenog taloženja pigmenta u koži, kosi i očima. Povećena koliĉina pigmenta dovodi do stvaranja hiperpigmentacija. Nedostatak pigmenta nazivamo depigmentacija dok djelomičan gubitak pigmenta nazivamo hipopigmentacijom. I depigmentacijske i hipopigmentacijske bolesti mogu biti nasljedne ili stečene.
U radu opisujemo nekoliko najčešćih bolesti koje su posljedica poremećaja pigmentacije s posebnim osvrtom na albinizam i vitiligo, genetsku osnovu albinizma, njihovu kliničku sliku, dijagnostičke i terapijske opcije te na kvalitetu života kod oboljelih.
Albinizam je bolest koja spada u nasljedne depigmentacije kada dolazi do odsutnosti pigmenta melanina u koži, kosi i očima. Bolest nastaje zbog kongenitalnog defekta u stvaranju i transportu melanina. Razlikujemo dva glavna oblika: okularni i okulokutani. Vitiligo je stečeni gubitak funkcionalnih melanocita koji posljedično dovode do područja depigmentiranosti kože i sluznica.
Oboljeli sa kliničkom slikom depigmentacije svakodnevno se susreću s brojnim teškoćama poput verbalnog nasilja, stigmatizacije i odbacivanja što sve dovodi do negativnih osjećaja srama, nelagode, niskog samopoštovanja i loše slike o sebi i svom tijelu. Dodatno, oboljeli se susreću i s nepostojanjem adekvatne terapije. Sve navedene poteškoće smanjuju i nepovoljno djeluju na kvalitetu života, stoga je potrebno skrenuti pažnju zdravstvenih stručnjaka na psihološke i društvene poteškoće s kojima se oboljeli svakodnevno susreću, upoznati populaciju s navedenim bolestima te educirati obitelj oboljeloga kako bi pružili adekvatnu podršku.
Kod oboljelih potrebna je obavezna i svakodnevna fotoprotekcija te izbjegavanje izlaganja Suncu kao i redovite kontrole dermatologa i oftalmologa zbog rane pojave karcinoma kože i očiju. Posebno ističemo kako danas mogu značajno pomoći udruge oboljelih koje se formiraju putem društvenih mreža.Pigmentation disorders are due to increased or decreased pigmentation deposits in the skin, hair and eyes. The increased amount of pigment leads to hyperpigmentation. Pigment deficiency is called depigmentation, while partial pigment loss is called hypopigmentation. Both depigmentation and hypopigmentation diseases may be inherited or acquired.
In this paper we describe several of the most common diseases resulting from pigmentation disorders with special attention to albinism and vitíligo, genetic basis of albinism, their clinical picture, diagnostic and therapeutic options and quality of life in patients.
Albinism is a disease that belongs to hereditary depigmentation when there is absence of melanin pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. The disease is due to a congenital defect in the production and transport of melanin. We distinguish two main shapes: ocular and oculocutaneous. Vitiligo is the acquired loss of functional melanocytes resulting in areas of depigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes.
Patients with a clinical image of depigmentation face many problems every day, such as verbal violence, stigmatization and rejection, which all lead to negative feelings of shame, discomfort, low self-esteem and poor self-image of their body. In addition, patients also face a lack of adequate therapy. All these difficulties reduce and adversely affect the quality of life, so it is necessary to draw the attention of health professionals to the psychological and social problems that patients encounter on a daily basis, familiarize the population with these diseases and educate the family of patients in order to provide adequate support.
Patients also require daily photoprotection and avoiding exposure to the sun, as well as regular monitoring of dermatologists and oftalmologa due to early occurrence of skin and eye cancers. In particular, as today, associations of patients forming through social networks can significantly help

Marketing of Banks for Development
No full textRazvojne banke bave se plasiranjem kredita za financiranje specijalnih projekata pod posebnim uvjetim, odnosno dugoročnim financiranjem gospodarskog razvoja. Najpoznatija je takva banka EBRD - Europska banka za obnovu i razvoj na razini Europske unije i HBOR - Hrvatska banka za obnovu i razvitak na nacionalnoj razini. Najočitiji trendovi bankarskog sustava su: ekstremna personalizacija, odnosno bankarstvo po mjeri pojedinca, sveprisutnost digitalnih plaćanja, predvidivo bankarstvo, ekspanzija otvorenog bankarstva, donošenje odluka o digitalnoj budućnosti. Zadaće i procesi bankarskog marketinga razvojnih banaka ovise o stanju, trendovima i ciljevima u bankarskoj industriji, a imaju za cilj izaći u susret uočenim i potencijalnim potrebama potrošača bankarskih proizvoda i usluga te ponuditi rješenje za njihove probleme.Development banks are engaged in placing loans to finance special projects under special conditions, ie long-term financing of economic development. The best known are the EBRD - European Bank for Reconstruction and Development at the European Union level and HBOR - Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development at the national level. The most obvious trends in the banking system are: extreme personalization, ie banking tailored to the individual, the ubiquity of digital payments, predictable banking, the expansion of open banking, decision-making on the digital future. The tasks and processes of banking marketing of development banks depend on the situation, trends and goals in the banking industry, and aim to meet the perceived and potential needs of consumers of banking products and services and offer a solution to their problem
Propeller shaft tubes and bearings
No full textUnutar statvene cijevi na krmi broda smješteni su osovina i osovinski vod. Osovinski vod je opremljen ležajevima koji omogućuju nesmetano okretanje brodske osovine i brtvenicama koje sprječavaju prodor morske vode unutar brodskog trupa i strojarnice. Ležajevi pružaju potporu i pravilno poravnanje za propelersku osovin dok se okreće. Oni osiguravaju da osovina ostane u ispravnom položaju i minimiziraju trenje tijekom rada. Zbog boljih osobina gumeni ležaji sve više zamjenjuju ležaje od svetog drva ili metala. Gumeni materijali daju odlična svojstva u ležajima propelerne osovine, kormila i ostaloj opremi koja radi u vodi. Za učvršćivanje ležajeva danas se najčešće koristi epoksilna smola kao što je Chockfast jer održava trajno poravnanje, omogućuje bolju kontrolu pristajanja ležaja, produžuje radni vijek ležajeva te smanjuje troškove instalacije.The shaft and shaft line are located inside the main tube at the stern of the ship. The shaft line is equipped with bearings that enable smooth rotation of the ship's shaft and seals that prevent seawater from entering the ship's hull and engine room. Bearings provide support and proper alignment for the propeller shaft as it rotates. They ensure that the shaft remains in the correct position and minimize friction during operation. Because of their better properties, rubber bearings are increasingly replacing bearings made of solid wood or metal. Rubber materials provide excellent properties in propeller shaft bearings, rudders and other equipment that works in water. Nowadays, epoxy resin such as Chockfast is most often used to fix bearings because it maintains permanent alignment, enables better control of the bearing fit, extends the service life of the bearings, and reduces installation costs
Ventilation of ship cargo holds
No full textSvjetskim morima i oceanima se danas prevoze različite vrste vrijednih roba. Zadatak je prijevoznika, brodarskih kompanija, da navedenu robu isporuče na odredište u ispravnom stanju. Kako se radi o različitim robama, različitih svojstva i kvalitete, tako su prisutne mogućnosti različitih vrsta oštećenja. Jedan od čimbenika koji, na različitim robama uzrokuje različite vrste oštećenja, je vlaga. Kako bi se spriječilo nastajanje vlage i njezin utjecaj na robu koja se prevozi, potrebno je održavati optimalne uvjete u brodskim skladištima. Navedeno se postiže pravilnim ventiliranjem skladišnih prostora. Kako je tema ovog rada „Ventilacija brodskih skladišnih prostora“, u nastavku rada će biti predstavljeno navedeno.Today, different types of valuable goods are transported to the world's seas and oceans. It is the task of the carrier, the shipping company, to deliver the said goods to the destination in good condition. As these are different goods, different properties and qualities, there is a possibility of different types of damage. One of the factors that, on different goods, causes different types of damage, is moisture. In order to prevent the formation of moisture and its impact on the goods being transported, it is necessary to maintain optimal conditions in ship's cargo holds. This is achieved by proper ventilation of storage areas. As the topic of this paper is "Ventilation of ship's cargo holds", the following will be presented in the continuation of the paper
Transportation of grain by sea with reference to international regulations for the safe handling of bulk cargo
No full textZavršni rad obrađuje temu prijevoza žitarica morem sukladno regulacijama sadržanim u međunarodnim kodeksima za siguran prijevoz rasutih tereta. Međunarodni kodeks za siguran prijevoz žitarica u rasutom stanju propisuje standarde kojih se potrebno pridržavati prilikom rukovanja žitaricama kako bi se teretom rukovalo na siguran i ispravan naĉin. Također, Kodeks propisuje posebne zahtjeve za izgradnju i održavanje brodova koji prevoze žitarice, kao i smjernice za nadzor i upravljanje teretom tijekom transporta. Kako bi se spriječile katastrofe poput narušavanja stabiliteta broda i nastanka nezgoda s mogućim katastrofalnim posljedicama, teret treba biti pravilno raspoređen prilikom ukrcaja i iskrcaja u luci. Smjernice i propisi kodeksa moraju se poštivati kako bi se osigurao ispravan te učinkovit transport žitarica morem koji doprinosi globalnom ekonomskom napretku. Također, u radu su ukratko obrađene teme karakteristika rasutih tereta te brodova koji ih prevoze, u svrhu shvaćanja cjeline i donošenja ispravnog zaključaka na predstavljenu temu.The final paper deals with grain transportation by sea following the regulations in the international codes for the safe transport of bulk cargo. The International Code for the Safe Carriage of Grain in Bulk prescribes the standards to be followed when handling grain to handle the cargo safely and correctly. Also, the Code defines special requirements for the construction and maintenance of ships transporting grain and guidelines for the supervision and management of cargo during transport. The grain cargo should be distributed appropriately during loading and unloading in the port to prevent catastrophes such as damage to the ship's stability and accidents with possibly catastrophic consequences. The Grain Code's guidelines and regulations must be followed for grain to be transported safely and efficiently by sea, contributing to global food security and economic prosperity. In addition, this undergraduate thesis briefly covers topics of bulk cargo and ships that transport them to understand the whole picture better and draw appropriate conclusions
Planning of Year-Round Tourism in Dubrovnik
No full textCjelogodišnji turizam je turizam koji se odvija svih 12 mjeseci u godini bez prevelikih oscilacija. Grad Dubrovnik nalazi se na južnoj obali Jadranskog mora i najjužniji je grad u Republici Hrvatskoj. Administrativno je središte Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije i njen najveći grad. Općina Dubrovnik prostire se od sela Dubravica na sjeveru do Orsule na jugu. Općini Dubrovnik pripadaju i Elafiti. Sjevernim dijelom graniči sa Bosnom i Hercegovinom dok je sa južne strane more. Na sjeveru graniči sa općinom Dubrovačko primorje, a na jugu sa Župom dubrovačkom. Površina općine Dubrovnik je 143,35 km2 i sastoji se od grada Dubrovnika i naselja Bosanka, Brsečine, Čajkovica, Čajkovići, Donje Obuljeno, Gornje Obuljeno, Dubravica, Gromača, Kliševo, Knežica, Koločep, Komolac, Lopud, Lozica, Ljubač, Mokošica, Nova Mokošica, Mravinjac, Mrčevo, Orašac, Osojnik, Petrovo Selo, Pobrežje, Prijevor, Rožat, Suđurađ, Sustjepan, Šipanska Luka, Šumet, Trsteno i Zaton. Danas je u Dubrovniku intenzitet turističkog prometa iznimno snažan u razdoblju od ožujka do početka studenog. Iz godine u godinu raste broj inozemnih, ali i domaćih turista. Dubrovnik je pretežito avio – destinacija, što znači da najveći broj turista dolazi zrakoplovima, od ožujka do studenog izravno iz gotovo pedeset europskih gradova. Turističke brojke grada Dubrovnika pokazuju uzlazan trend iz godine u godinu izuzev 2020. koja je bila obilježena pandemijom. Turizam grada Dubrovnika oporavlja se od Covid-19 krize što dokazuje gotovo dvostruko više dolazaka u 2022. nego što ih je bilo u 2021. Prednosti cjelogodišnjeg turizma su veća zarada, povećanje kupovne moći i standarda građana, otvaranje novih radnih mjesta, manje nezaposlenih, veća ulaganja u infrastrukturu i izgradnju novih sadržaja za lokalno stanovništvo. Mane cjelogodišnjeg turizma su trend konstantnog rasta cijena nekretnina i cijena u trgovinama, depopulacija drugih krajeva Hrvatske, napuštanje tradicionalnih i ostalih ne-turističkih zanimanja, potiče se i pitanje zasićenosti. Pojačana promocija već postojećih atrakcija tijekom zimskih mjeseci zasigurno bi privukla još više turista. Pažnju treba obratiti na ciljana tržišta i u promociju vršiti u pravo vrijeme. Uz atrakcije koje već postoje potrebno je i raditi na kreiranju novih atrakcija prateći svjetske trendove i turističke gradove iz okruženja. Veliki broj turista dolazi iz udaljenih zemalja i zbog toga je potrebno pojačati suradnju sa emitivnim turističkim agencijama i avioprijevoznicima diljem Europe.Year-round tourism is tourism that takes place all 12 months of the year without excessive fluctuations. The city of Dubrovnik is located on the southern coast of the Adriatic Sea and is the southernmost city in the Republic of Croatia. It is the administrative center of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County and its largest city. The municipality of Dubrovnik stretches from the village of Dubravica in the north to Orsula in the south. The Elaphites also belong to the municipality of Dubrovnik. The northern part borders Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the southern side is the coastline. In the north, it borders the municipality of Dubrovačko Primorje, and in the south, with the Župa Dubrovačka. The area of Dubrovnik municipality is 143.35 km2 and consists of the city of Dubrovnik and the settlements: Bosanka, Brsečine, Čajkovica, Čajkovići, Donje Obuljeno, Gornje Obuljeno, Dubravica, Gromača, Kliševo, Knežica, Koločep, Komolac, Lopud, Lozica, Ljubač, Mokošica, Nova Mokošica, Mravinjac, Mrčevo, Orašac, Osojnik, Petrovo Selo, Pobrežje, Prijevor, Rožat, Suđurađ, Sustjepan, Šipanska Luka, Šumet, Trsteno and Zaton. Today in Dubrovnik, the intensity of tourist traffic is extremely strong in the period from March to the beginning of November. The number of foreign and domestic tourists is growing year by year. Dubrovnik is predominantly an air destination, which means that the largest number of tourists arrive by plane, from March to November, directly from almost fifty European cities. The tourism figures of the city of Dubrovnik show an upward trend from year to year, except for 2020, which was marked by the pandemic. Tourism in the city of Dubrovnik is recovering from the Covid-19 crisis, as evidenced by almost twice as many arrivals in 2022 than in 2021. The advantages of year-round tourism are higher earnings, an increase in the purchasing power and standards of citizens, the creation of new jobs, fewer unemployed citizens, higher investments in infrastructure and the construction of new facilities for the local population. The disadvantages of year-round tourism are the trend of constant growth in real estate prices and prices in shops, depopulation of other parts of Croatia, abandonment of traditional and other non-tourist occupations, and the issue of saturation is encouraged. Increased promotion of already existing attractions during the winter months would certainly attract even more tourists. Attention should be paid to the target markets and promotion should be done at the right time. In addition to the attractions that already exist, it is also necessary to work on the creation of new attractions following world trends and tourist cities from the surrounding area. A large number of tourists come from distant countries, and for this reason it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with broadcasting travel agencies and airlines throughout Europe

Na predmetu su prezentirane različite metode konsolidacije kao i odstupanja u metodološkom pristupu. Na obje strane predmeta zatečena su identična oštećenja zbog čega je jedna strana predmeta restaurirana, a druga ostavljena u izvornom stanju. Na restauriranoj polovici primijenjene su različite metode na istoj vrsti oštećenja, kako bi se pokazale prednosti i nedostaci različitih metoda koje konzervatori-restauratori imaju na raspolaganju.Conservation-restoration project of the 19/20th century chasuble will serve textile conservation-restoration students for educational purposes. Different consolidation methods as well as deviations in the methodological approach are presented in the course. Identical damage was found on both sides of the object, which is why one side of the object was restored and the other left in its original condition. Different methods on the same type of damage were applied to the restored half, in order to show the advantages and disadvantages of different methods that conservators-restaurators have at their disposal
