Management of Cash and Cash Equivalents in hotel group Adriatic Luxury Hotels
No full textZavršni rad na temu Upravljanje novcem i novčanim ekvivalentima ima za cilj ukazati zašto je bitno u poslovanju pratiti, evidentirati i izvještavati o financijskim transakcijama koje su praćene gotovinskim tokovima. Neovisno radi li se o novčanim primitcima ili novčanim izdatcima te odvijaju li se one u novcu ili novčanim ekvivalentima, svaki poslovni sustav trebao bi u svakom trenutku imati točan uvid u njihovo stanje kako bi mogao osigurati likvidnost i solventnost poslovanja u sadašnjem, ali i budućem vremenu. Spoznaje o raspoloživim novčanim sredstvima omogućavaju poslovnim sustavima da planiraju buduća trošenja i investicije, odnosno da pravovremeno reagiraju na potencijalne nestašice novca (negativne neto novčane tokove) angažirajući dodatne izvore financiranja. Tema je obrađena korištenjem primjera hotelske grupacije Adriatic Luxury Hotels. Ova je grupacija odabrana iz razloga što je riječ o najpoznatijoj i najluksuznijoj hotelskoj grupaciji u Hrvatskoj, a i šire, koja dokazano kvalitetno upravlja svojim novčanim tokovima. Grupacija ima temeljito definiranu i kvalitetno organiziranu računovodstvenu i financijsku funkciju unutar koje iskusni zaposlenici kvalitetno i profesionalno prate i kontroliraju sve poslovne transakcije, pa tako i one povezane s tijekom novca.The topic “Managing cash and cash equivalents” is intended to show why it is important in businesses to monitor, record and report on financial transactions involving cash flows. Every business system should have an accurate overview of cash transactions at all times to ensure the liquidity and solvency of the business in the present and in the future, regardless of whether the transactions are cash receipts or cash payments and whether they are in cash or cash equivalents. Knowing the available funds enables companies to plan future expenditures and investments, i.e. to react to possible liquidity bottlenecks (negative net cash flows) in time by tapping additional sources of financing. The topic is dealt with using the hotel group Adriatic Luxury Hotels as an example. This group was chosen because it is the best known and most luxurious hotel group in Croatia and beyond, with a proven track record of managing its cash flows well. The group has a thoroughly defined and well-organised accounting and
finance function, where experienced staff qualitatively and professionally monitor and control all business transactions, including those involving cash flows
Culinary as media content and communication channel
No full textZahvaljujući svojoj važnosti u ljudskom životu i djelovanju, kulinarstvo odnosno gastronomija je iz potrebe za preživljavanjem čovjeka prerasla u znanstvenu granu koja se ne bavi isključivo pripremom hrane za jelo. Suvremena je gastronomija znanost o hrani, znanosti o prehrani i ishrani, dio kulture i identiteta pojedinih zemalja, značajan dio turističke ponude u destinacijama ali i vrlo važan dio svakodnevnog života suvremenog čovjeka. Kao što je to slučaj i drugim područjima, proces globalizacije rezultirao je značajnim tehnološkim naprecima, što je nadalje dovelo do korištenja suvremene tehnologije i u kulinarstvu. Naime, stvaranje novih komunikacijskih kanala i privlačnog medijskog sadržaja koji je povezan s kulinarstvom utječe na privlačenje sve šire populacije prema proučavanju, primjeni i stvaranju kulinarskog sadržaja te bavljenje kulinarskim aktivnostima u slobodno vrijeme. Empirijsko istraživanje putem on line anketnog upitnika ispitivalo je sociodemografske karakteristike uzorka te mišljenja i stavove o kulinarskom medijskom sadržaju te suvremenim komunikacijskim kanalima pomoću kojih se isti plasira u javnost. Analizom podataka utvrđeno je kako se u suvremenom svijetu najčešće koriste društvene mreže kao komunikacijski kanal, pretražuju se najčešće suvremeni recepti te objava kulinarskog sadržaja na društvenim mrežama utječe i na povećano bavljenje i primjenu kulinarskog sadržaja i aktivnosti u slobodno vrijeme ljudi.Thanks to its importance in human life and activity, culinary arts and the field of gastronomy, has grown from a need for human survival into a scientific branch that does not deal exclusively with the preparation of food for eating. Contemporary gastronomy is the science of food, the science of nutrition and nutrition, part of the culture and identity of individual countries, a significant part of the tourist offer in destinations, but also a very important part of the everyday life of a modern person. As is the case in other areas, the process of globalization resulted in significant technological advances, which further led to the use of modern technology in the culinary arts as well. Namely, the creation of new communication channels and attractive media content related to the culinary arts influences the attraction of an even wider population towards the study, application and creation of culinary content and engaging in culinary activities in their free time. Empirical research through an online questionnaire examined the socio demographic characteristics of the sample as well as opinions and attitudes about culinary media content and modern communication channels through which it is marketed to the public. The data analysis determined that in the modern world, social networks are most often used as a communication channel, most modern recipes are searched, and the publication of culinary content on social networks also affects the increased engagement and application of culinary content and activities in people's free time

"Rheumatoid arthritis"
No full textReumatoidni artritis je sistemska autoimuna bolest karakterizirana promjenama na zglobovima, obično zglobovima šake i stopala, na kojima se artritis i najjasnije očituje. Kronična je bolest nepoznata uzroka i zahvaća više organskih sustava. Zglobovi su simetrično zahvaćeni upalom, koja uzrokuje otok i bol, deformitet i naposljetku razaranje. Najčešća je upalna reumatska bolest koja zahvaća 1% populacije. S obzirom na svoj progresivni tijek, važno je na vrijeme dijagnosticirati i početi liječiti. Pri tome medicinska sestra ima veliku važnost, na način da je ona ta koja priprema bolesnika na dijagnostičke postupke, psihički i fizički. Također je tu za bolesnika kroz cijeli proces liječenja, kroz brojne intervencije koje provodi. U prošlosti bi se, zbog nedostatnih metoda liječenja, osobe koje su bolovale od RA s progresijom bolesti pretvorile u invalide, nesposobne za rad. Danas, napretkom biomedicine i znanosti, učestalo se pronalaze nova saznanja o RA. Istraživanjima i razvojem novih dijagnostičkih metoda i lijekova RA postaje bolest kojoj se zaustavlja progresivni tijek i ljudi funkcioniraju u radnoj sredini. Cilj ovog rada jest napraviti pregled najnovijih saznanja o etiologiji, dijagnostici i liječenju RA, a kroz pregled najnovije znanstvene literature. Nakon pregleda literature, kroz prikaz sluĉaja istražit će se kako metode dijagnostike, liječenja i sestrinskih intervencija funkcioniraju u praksi, te koliko su efektivne u tom specifičnom slučaju. Također kroz ovaj rad želim naglasiti i ulogu i važnost medicinske sestre kroz cijeli proces dijagnostike i liječenja bolesti s obzirom da se radi o kroničnom oboljenju koje u najtežim slučajevima zahtjeva cjeloživotno liječenje.Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by changes in the joints, usually the joints of the hands and feet, where arthritis is the most clearly manifested. It is a chronic disease of unknown cause and it affects several organ systems. The joints are symmetrically affected by inflammation, which causes swelling and pain, deformation and eventually destruction. It is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease, which affects 1% of the population. Considering its progressive course, it is important to diagnose and start treatment in time. During that time, the nurse is very important, as she is the one who prepares the patient for diagnostic procedures, mentally and physically. She is also there for the patient throughout the entire treatment process, through the numerous interventions she carries out. In the past, with the progression of the disease, people with RA would become disabled, unable to work, due to inadequate treatment methods. Today, with the progress of biomedicine and science, new knowledge about RA is often found. Through research and development of new diagnostic methods and drugs, RA becomes a disease whose progressive course stops and people function in the working environment. The aim of this paper is to review the latest knowledge on the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of RA, through a review of the latest scientific literature. After reviewing the literature, through the case presentation, it will be investigated how diagnostic methods, treatment methods and nursing interventions work in practice, that is, how effective they are in that specific case. Also, through this work, I want to emphasize the role and importance of the nurse throughout the entire process of diagnosis and treatment of the disease, given that it is a chronic disease that, in the most severe cases, requires lifelong treatment
Student Population's Familiarity with Cryptocurrencies: Comparison of Croatian and Spanish Students
No full textPosljednjih godina kriptovalute su postale novi, prilično primamljiv načini investiranja, a šira upotreba digitalnih alata i tehnika je dovela do njihove popularizacije na globalnoj razini. Međutim, još uvijek je veliki broj ljudi koji se ne odlučuju ulagati u kriptovalute, jer su svjestni činjenice da je fluktuacija vrijednosti kriptovaluta praćena izuzetno visokom razinom rizika. Istraživanje u ovom radu ima za cilj otkriti statove mladih o ulaganjima u kriptovalute. Stoga u u radu analizirani čimbenici koji utječu na studente ekonomije i financijskih smjerova, pripadnike generacije „Z“ pri donošenju odluka o ulaganju u kriptovalute. Istraživanje je provedeno u Hrvatskoj i Španjolskoj te su komparirani stavovi studenata. Podatci prikupljeni pomoću strukturiranog anketnog upitnika analizirani su odgovarajućim statističkim metodama, a njihova analiza rezultirala je zaključkom da, premda studenti posjeduju odgovarajuće digitalne kompetencije, njihov oprez pri donošenju odluka o investiranju u kriptovalute povezan je s pomanjkanjem informiranosti u smislu nedostatka financijskog znanja o mogućnostima i potencijalnim štetnostima koje ulaganje u kriptovalute može implicirati. Posebno je istaknuta spoznaja mladih o nužnosti praćenja digitalnog razvoja i promjena koje on nosi. Generalno, mladi smatraju da im je prioritet poboljšati digitalnu i financijsku pismenosti koje su im neophodne za prilagodbu očekivanim budućim financijskim i digitalnim promjenama.In recent years, cryptocurrencies have become a new and quite attractive form of investment, and the wider use of digital tools and techniques has led to their global spread. However, there are still a large number of people who do not choose to invest in cryptocurrencies because they are aware of the fact that the fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies are associated with extremely high risk. The research in this paper aims to identify young people's attitudes towards investing in cryptocurrencies. Therefore, it analyses the factors that influence students of economics and finance - members of Generation "Z" when making decisions about investing in cryptocurrencies. The research was conducted in Croatia and Spain, and the students' attitudes were compared. The data collected through a structured questionnaire was analysed using appropriate statistical methods. The analysis led to the conclusion that while students have adequate digital literacy skills, their caution in making decisions about investing in cryptocurrencies is associated with an information deficit in the form of a lack of financial knowledge about opportunities and potential harms that investing in cryptocurrencies can bring. Particular emphasis is placed on young people's awareness of the need to monitor digital developments and the associated changes. In general, young people see it as their priority to improve their digital and financial knowledge, which is necessary for them to adapt to the expected future financial and digital changes
From Constantinople to Dubrovnik Republic hinterland: Ten-year territorial expansion of the Ottoman Empire under the leadership of sultan Mehmed ii.the Conqueror
No full textOsmanska država je tijekom 13. i 14. stoljeća vršila ozbiljniju teritorijalnu ekspanziju. Širenje osmanske države na područje Balkanskog poluotoka započelo je tijekom 14. i 15. stoljeća za vrijeme vladavine sultana Murata II. Muratov sin, sultan Mehmed II., osvajanjem Carigrada ostvario je dotad neostvariv cilj osmanskih predaka zbog čega je u historiografiji ostao poznat pod nadimkom Osvajač. Svoju je neograničenu i apsolutnu vladarsku moć usmjerio na Balkanski poluotok, gdje je drugačijim načelima vladanja od prethodnih sultana iskorištavao gospodarsko-političke situacije 15. stoljeća, poput ojačavanja balkanskih velikaša, koje je sultan Mehmed II. usustavio u načelo upravljanja udaljenim osmanskim teritorijem. Protuosmanske koalicije poticane od Svete Stolice nisu bile uspješne u namjeri protjerivanja Osmanlija s europskog teritorija. Osmansko podređivanje balkanskih zemalja Carstvu događalo se tijekom druge polovice 15. stoljeća. Dubrovačka Republika uspješno je postizala sporezume s Osmanlijama, a neutralnost u sukobima te odanost laičkim i kleričkim vladarima omogućavali su joj slobodno kretanje i trgovinu diljem europskog teritorija. Dubrovčani su za vrijeme osmanskog djelovanja u zaleđu strahovali za svoju državu, no sudbina razaranja ili izravnog podređivanja zaobišla ih je radi diplomatskog iskustva i umijeća. Sultan Mehmed II. Osvajač umro je 1481. godine prilikom okupacije južnoitalskog teritorija.During the 13th and 14th century, the Ottoman state carried out a more serious territorial expansion. The expansion of the Ottoman state to the Balkan Peninsula began during the 14th and 15th century upon the reign of Sultan Murat II. Murat's son, Sultan Mehmed II, by conquering Constantinople achieved the, until then, unattainable goal of the Ottoman ancestors, which is why he remained known in historiography by the nickname Conqueror. He focused his unlimited and absolute governmental power on the Balkan Peninsula, where he used different principles of government from previous sultans to exploit the economic and political situations of the 15th century, such as strengthening the Balkan greats, which Sultan Mehmed II. harmonized in the principle of management of remote Ottoman territory. The anti-Ottoman coalitions encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church were unsuccessful in their intention to expel the Ottomans from European territory. The Ottoman subordination of the Balkan countries to the Empire took place during the second half of the 15th century. The Republic of Dubrovnik has successfully reached disputes with the Ottomans, and neutrality in conflicts and loyalty to lay and clerical rulers have enabled it to move and trade freely throughout European territory. During Ottoman activity in the hinterland, Dubrovnik feared for their country, but the fate of destruction or direct subordination bypassed them for diplomatic experience and skill. Sultan Mehmed II. The Conqueror died in 1481. during the occupation of South Italian territory

DEVELOPMENT OF A WEB APPLICATION FOR CREATING INTERACTIVE QUIZZES
No full textCilj ovog diplomskog rada je bio ovladati raznim razvojnim okruţenjima za razvijanje modernih, responzivnih web aplikacija. Kao rezultat, dobili smo prototip aplikacije za izradu naprednih interaktivnih kvizova temeljenu na modernim web tehnologijama.
Web razvoj se odnosi na razvoj web-stranica, preciznije na dizajniranje, kreiranje, graĎenje i odrţavanje web-stranica i web aplikacija koje se pokreću u pretraţivaču. Moţe se odnositi i na webdizajn, web programiranje ili odrţavanje bazi podataka. U svrhu upravljanja podacima korištena je baza podataka i Laravel. Kreirani su modeli na osnovi tablica u bazi podataka te za lagan pristup podacima. Za kreiranje administratorskog pristupa, korišten je Filament. Kako bi omogućili kreiranje reaktivnih komponenti, korišten je LiveWire.
Ime naše aplikacije potječe od riječi Quiz i Bizz (što je vrsta skraćenice od engleske riječi „business―. Aplikacija se sastoji od dvije razine: administratorske razine, koja sluţi za izradu kvizova te praćenje performansi korisnika tijekom rješavanja izraĎenih kvizova te korisničke razina, koja sluţi za ispunjavanje kvizova.
Slična rješenja su dostupna besplatno na internetu, od kojih je najpoznatije rješenje Google Forms, ali ne nude naprednije praćenje metrika rješavanja interaktivnih kvizova. Ovakvo rješenje bi se moglo koristiti u svakom području gdje nam je zanimljivo npr. vrijeme odgovora na pitanje, ili ostale napredne metrike odgovora.The goal of this thesis is aimed at mastering different frameworks aimed at developing modern, responsive web applications. As the result, we have gained the prototype of an application for making advanced interactive quizzes based on modern web technologies. Web development refers to the development of websites, more precisely designing, creating, building, and maintaining websites and web-applications that are run inside a browser. For building data, we have used a database and Laravel. We have created models based on our database tables for easier access to our data. For creating administrative access, we have used Filament. To enable creating reactive components, we have used LiveWire.
Our application’s name comes from the words Quiz and Bizz (which is a form of shortening of the English word “business”. The application is comprised of two levels: an administrative level, which is used to create quizzes and follow user performances on said quizzes, and a user level, which serves for filling out quizzes.
Similar solutions are available for free on the internet, of which the most well-known one is Google Forms, but they do not offer more advanced metrics for evaluating interactive quizzes. This solution could be used in any area where we are interested in e.g. the time spent answering a question, or other advanced metrics of an answer
Consumer Protection - Responsibilities and Obligations as a Principle of Tour Operator Business
No full textU ovom radu analizira se zaštita potrošača tj. istražuju se odgovornosti i obveze kao princip poslovanja turoperatora. Detaljno je obrazloženo poslovanje turoperatora u segmentima odgovornosti i obveza prema potrošačima. Turoperatori i turističke agencije moraju svoje poslovanje prilagoditi novom suvremenom poslovanju gdje je zaštita potrošača jedan od glavnih segmenata poslovanja. Kako bi se tema u potpunosti obradila, vrlo je važno kombinirati teoriju i zakonsku regulativu, ali i primjere iz svakodnevne prakse poslovanja organizatora putovanja i posrednika u turizmu. Potrošači u turizmu vrlo često su izloženi rizicima koji se povezuju uz putovanje i boravak. Kako bi zaštita potrošača u turizmu bila kvalitetna potrebno je utvrditi mjere i aktivnosti kako bi se provelo njihovo ispunjenje.In this paper, consumer protection is analyzed, i.e. responsibilities and obligations are investigated as a principle of tour operators' business. It is explained in detail how the business of tour operators in the segments of responsibility and obligations towards consumers. Tour operators and travel agencies must adapt their business to the new modern business, where consumer protection is one of the main business segments. In order to fully cover the topic, it is very important to combine theory and legislation, as well as examples from the everyday practice of travel organizers and intermediaries in tourism. Consumers in tourism are very often exposed to risks associated with travel and stay. In order for consumer protection in tourism to be of high quality, it is necessary to establish measures and activities in order to implement their fulfillment
