Features and analysis of videotraffic
No full textCilj rada je prikazati značajke i analizu videoprometa koji se generira na nekoliko različitih načina. Opisuju se kodeci i video kompresija bez kojih ne bi bilo moguće prenijeti sadržaj. Svaka vrsta videoprometa ima različite zahtjeve za brzinama koja ovisi o čimbenicima kao što su kvaliteta slika i rezolucija monitora. Rad analiza parametre kvalitete usluge (QoS) : propusnost, kašnjenje, varijacija kašnjenja i gubitak paketa. Da se QoS održava i da ne bude poteškoća prilikom prijenosa sadržaja potrebno je uvesti mehanizme za osiguranje QoS.The aim of this thesis is to show the features and analysis of video traffic that is generated in several different ways. Codecs and video compression are described without which it would not be possible to transfer content. Each type of video traffic has different speed requirements that depend on factors such as image quality and monitor resolution. Operation analysis of service quality parameters (QoS) : bandwidth, delay, variation of delay and loss of packages. In order for QoS to be maintained and there are no difficulties when transferring content, it is necessary to introduce mechanisms to ensure QoS
"Nursing interventions in preparing pregnant women for medical-tehnical procedures"
No full textUvod: Svaka osoba treba imati minimalno 12 pregleda tijekom trudnoće. Inicijalni pregled treba obaviti do 12. tjedna trudnoće. Provode se razni invazivni i neinvazivni dijagnostički postupci poput amniocenteze, amnioskopije, UZV, CTG-a, biopsije korionskih resica i kordocenteze.
Ispitanici i metode: U prospektivnom istraživanju je korišten anonimni anketni upitnik koji je nasumičnim odabirom uključio 113 odraslih ispitanika oba spola.
Rezultati: Statistički značajno veći broj ispitanika navodi da se je prenatalni dijagnostički postupak provodio zbog svih navedenih razloga, u odnosu na broj ispitanica koje su navele pojedinačne razloge (χ2= 4,923; p= 0,027). Utvrđene su statistički značajne razlike u broju ispitanika s obzirom na najpoznatije prenatalne dijagnostičke postupke (χ2= 28,452; p< 0,001), najveći broj njih je naveo amniocentezu, a najmanji broj kordocentezu i biopsiju korionskih resica.
Zaključak: Može se zaključiti kako su ispitanici u dobroj mjeri upoznati s prenatalnim dijagnostičkim postupcima, ali naravno uvijek postoji mjesto za unaprjeđenje tog znanja, što zasigurno ispitanicama može pomoći da u još većoj mjeri razumiju važnost ovih postupaka i dobrobiti koje oni donose sa sobom.Introduction: Each person should have a minimum of 12 examinations during pregnancy. The initial examination should be done by the 12th week of pregnancy. Various invasive and non- invasive diagnostic procedures are performed, such as amniocentesis, amnioscopy, ultrasound, CTG, biopsy of chorionic villi and cordocentesis.
Subjects and methods: In the prospective study, an anonymous survey questionnaire was used, which randomly selected 113 adult subjects of both sexes.
Results: A statistically significantly higher number of respondents stated that the prenatal diagnostic procedure was performed for all of the stated reasons, compared to the number of respondents who stated individual reasons (χ2= 4.923; p= 0.027). Statistically significant differences were found in the number of respondents regarding the most well-known prenatal diagnostic procedures (χ2= 28.452; p< 0.001), the largest number of them mentioned amniocentesis, and the smallest number mentioned cordocentesis and biopsy of chorionic villi.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the respondents are well acquainted with prenatal diagnostic procedures, but of course there is always room for improvement of this knowledge, which can certainly help the respondents to understand even more the importance of these procedures and the benefits they bring with them

Features of Functional Organization in Croatian Hotel Industry
No full textOvaj završni rad ima cilj prikazati koliko je hotelijerstvo kompleksna djelatnost te koje sve poslove obuhvaća. Isto tako analiziran je razvoj samog hotelijerstva kroz godine te sa kojim se sve izazovima susreće u njegovom razvitku. Nadalje, analizirano je samo hotelijerstvo u Dubrovniku te kroz koje je krize prolazilo Dubrovačko hotelijerstvo tijekom ratova. Hotelijerstvo bez kvalitetnog marketinga ne može opstati radi prevelike konkurencije koja svakodnevno raste i zato je važno definirati ulogu isto unutar poduzeća. Ciljevima i zadatcima koje marketing obavlja prikazana je njegova važnost u hotelskom poduzeću. Ovaj rad je prikazao važnost konstantnog motiviranja zaposlenika kao i načini motiviranja od strane nadređenih te kakvu svrhu to ima i što to budi kod samog zaposlenika. U radu je prikazana organizacijska struktura jednog hotelskog poduzeća i organizacijske jedinice samog poduzeća te kakve funkciju svako od njih ima u kreiranju uspješnog poduzeća. Kada se analizira hrvatsko hotelijerstvo koje iako redovno ruši rekorde glede dolazaka turista te noćenja, trebalo bi se zabrinut za kvalitetu usluge koju pružamo, a koja iz godine u godine pada. Masovnim turizmom kojim se svakodnevno susrećemo jako je teško pratiti kontrolu kvalitete samog rada, ali bi se trebalo potruditi te na vrijeme uvesti određene promjene u cilju kvalitetnog održavanja hrvatskog turizma.The aim of this final thesis is to show how complex the hotel industry is and what jobs it encompasses. The development of the hotel industry itself over the years was also analysed, as well as the challenges faced in its development. Furthermore, only the hotel industry in Dubrovnik was analysed and what crises the Dubrovnik hotel industry went through during the wars. The hotel industry cannot survive without quality marketing due to the excessive competition that is growing every day, and that is why it is important to define the same role within the company. The goals and tasks performed by marketing show its importance in the hotel business. This paper showed the importance of constantly motivating employees as well as the ways of motivating by superiors and what purpose it has and what it awakens in the employee himself. The paper presents the organizational structure of a hotel company and the organizational units of the company itself, and what function each of them has in creating a successful company. When analysing the Croatian hotel industry, which regularly breaks records in terms of tourist arrivals and overnight stays, one should be concerned about the quality of the service we provide, which is decreasing year by year. With the mass tourism that we encounter every day, it is very difficult to monitor the quality control of the work itself, but we should make an effort and introduce certain changes in time in order to maintain the quality of Croatian tourism
"Biomedical potential of sponge, Spongia officinalis Linnaeus, 1759."
No full textMorski organizmi, većinom beskralježnjaci, zaokupili su pažnju znanstvene zajednice zbog
zanimljivih kemijskih spojeva koji imaju specifične biosintetske puteve i fiziološke uloge.
Mekušci, spužve, mahovnjaci i drugi organizmi proizvode kemijski vrlo potentne spojeve koji
ulaze u medicinsku primjenu kao dodatci postojećim lijekovima ili kao novi lijekovi. Spužve
su zaslužne za 30 % od svih dobivenih prirodnih proizvoda iz mora. Farmaceutski interes za
spužvama se prvi put javlja prije sedamdesetak godina. Obična spužva Spongia officinalis,
Linnaeus, 1759 mediteranska je spužva koja je još od antike privlačila pažnju i bila cijenjena u
trgovačkim krugovima. Njena je primarna komercijalna upotreba bila za umivanje, a kao i
ostale mediteranske spužve ovog roda, koristila se i u razne medicinske svrhe, za ispijanje pića
i za nanošenje boje. Danas se provode istraživanja izoliranih sekundarnih metabolita,
sintetiziranih posredno u spužvinim stanicama ili neposredno u njenim komenzalističkim
mikrobnim zajednicama. Proizvodi dobiveni izolacijom iz raznih spužava pokazuju antiviralno,
antitumorsko, antibakterijsko, antifungalno, imunosupresivno, protuupalno, neurološko,
bioregenerativno, antidiabetsko i antimalarijsko djelovanje. Dva takva proizvoda, danas
priznata terapeutika, Cytarabine i Vidarabine, izolirani su iz karipske spužve Tethya crypta.
Spojevi dobiveni iz obične spužve najviše pokazuju antitumorni, potom antibakterijski i
neurološki učinak. Uzgoj obične spužve je započeo krajem 18. st. i danas predstavlja alternativu
sakupljanju iz prirodnog staništa koji stresira već oštećene populacije. Iako su manje
zastupljene u znastvenoj literaturi, mediteranske spužve pokazuju veliki potencijal za razvitak
novih biomaterijala s primjenom u biomedicini i drugim industrijama.Marine organisms, mostly invertebrates, have captured the attention of the scientific community
because of interesting chemical compounds with specific biosynthetic pathways and
physiological roles. Molluscs, sponges, bryophytes, and similar organisms produce chemically
very potent compounds that enter the medical pipeline as additives to existing or new drugs.
Sponges are responsible for 30 % of all natural products obtained from the marine environment.
Pharmaceutical interest in sponges began about 70 years ago. The bath sponge, Spongia
officinalis, is a Mediterranean sponge that has captured attention since antiquity and was valued
in commercial circles. Its primary commercial use was for bathing, and like other
Mediterranean sponges of this genus, it was also used for various medicinal purposes, for
drinking and paint application. Recently, research has shifted focus to isolated secondary
metabolites, synthesized directly in sponge cells or indirectly by its commensal microbial
communities. Products obtained by isolation from various sponges show antiviral, antitumor,
antibacterial, antifungal, immunosuppressive, antiinflammatory, neurological, bioregenerative,
antidiabetic, and antimalarial effects. Two such products, nowadays recognized therapeutics,
are Cytarabine and Vidarabine isolated from the Caribbean sponge, Tethya crypta. Compounds
obtained from bath sponge show mostly antitumor and cytotoxic effects, though antibacterial
and neurological activities have been frequently reported in the literature. Cultivation of
common sponges began at the end of the 18th century and today stands as an alternative to
collection from nature, which stresses already damaged populations. Although they are less
represented in the scientific literature, Mediterranean sponges show great potential for the
development of new biomaterials with applications in biomedicine and other industries
Special SOLAS requirements for passanger ships
No full textNajvažnija međunarodna konvencija iz područja sigurnosti plovidbe je SOLAS konvencija, odnosno Međunarodna konvencija o zaštiti ljudskih života na moru. Odnosi se na sve brodove, sa pojedinim specifičnostima za svaku vrstu brodova. Putnički brodovi su brodovi koji prevoze više od dvanaest putnika na međunarodnim putovanjima i moraju biti u skladu sa svim relevantnim propisima Međunarodne pomorske organizacije, uključujući one u Solas konvenciji. Do usvajanja prvog Solas ugovora dovela je katastrofa Titanica 1912. godine i od tada je bilo više revizija propisa kao odgovor na velike incidente, ali i kao rezultat proaktivnog pristupa održavanju propisa ažurnim. Kako je tema ovog rada „Posebni zahtjevi Solas konvencije za putničke brodove“, u radu u nastavku će isti biti obrađeni i predstavljeni.The most important international convention in the field of navigation safety is the SOLAS Convention, that is, the International Convention for the Protection of Human Life at Sea. It applies to all ships, with certain specifics for each type of ship. Passenger ships are ships that carry more than twelve passengers on international voyages and must comply with all relevant regulations of the International Maritime Organization, including those of the Solas Convention. The Titanic disaster in 1912 led to the adoption of the first Solas treaty and since then there have been several revisions to the regulations in response to major incidents, but also as a result of a proactive approach to keeping the regulations up to date. As the topic of this paper is "Special requirements of the Solas Convention for passenger ships", in the following paper they will be processed and presented

Performance analysis of blockchain application using process mining techniques and tools
No full textU ovom radu analiziran je pojam dubinske analize procesa te kakve prednosti nam ona danas pruža. Cilj dubinske analize procesa je poboljšati procese otkrivanjem problema. To mogu biti problemi performansi kao što su nepravodobno dovršenje slučaja, ograničena proizvodnja, propušteni rokovi, kašnjenje, pretjerana obrada podataka ili problemi s kvalitetom koji se ponavljaju. Budući da događaji imaju vremenske oznake moguće je mjeriti vrijeme između aktivnosti, uključujući statistike kao što su srednja vrijednost, medijan, standardna devijacija, minimum i maksimum. To omogućuje analizu pokazatelja performansi kao što su vrijeme čekanja, vrijeme odziva te vrijeme usluge. Pomoću programskog alata ProM analizirane su performanse na blockchain podacima te je objašnjeno kako možemo projicirati vremenske informacije na model procesa. Možemo reći da analiza performansi ima za cilj poboljšanje procesa s obzirom na vrijeme, cijenu ili kvalitetu. Svojstva performansi važan su aspekt analize procesa u različitim domenama.In this paper, we will analyze the concept of process mining and what advantages it offers us today. The goal of process mining is to improve the process by discovering problems. These can be performance issues such as completion of a case, limited production, missed deadlines, tardiness, excessive rework, and recurring quality problems. Since events are timestamped it is possible to measure times between activities, including statistics such as mean, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum. This enables the analysis of performance indicators such as waiting time, response time and service time. Using the ProM software tool, we will analyze performance on blockchain data and show how we can project temporal information about the process model. We can say that performance analysis aims to improve processes with regard to time, cost or quality. Performance properties are important in the aspect of process analysis in different domains
Changes in the sea shipping market for circular tourist trips.
No full textVeličina globalnog tržišta morskog brodarstva za kružna putovanja u 2021. godini je bila 8 milijardi US. U zadnjih četrdesetak godina je industrija krstarenja imala brzorastući dinamičan rast, koji je, zbog zdravstvenih razloga i pandemije Covid-19, prekinut u 2020. godini. Tržište oporavlja i već 2021. godina je pokazala znakove oporavka, a 2022. godina je skoro dosegnula promete iz 2019. godine. Pandemija Covid-19 je donijela brodarskim kompanijama za kružna putovanja mnoge promjene koje su morali implementirati, prvenstveno zbog svoje sigurnosti i sigurnosti putnika. Osim toga, ubrzani razvoj tehnike i tehnologije, interneta, globalizacija itd. donosi svakim danom neke nove promjene, koje potrošači traže i žele, i kome brodarske kompanije na tržištu morskog brodarstva za kružna putovanja, ukoliko žele uspješno poslovati, moraju implementirati. Promjene koje se događaju na tržištu morskog brodarstva za kružna putovanja su predmet ovog rada i u nastavku će isto biti predstavljeno.The size of the global cruise shipping market in 2021 was US 16.7 million by 2031. In the last forty years, the cruise industry has had a fast-growing dynamic growth, which, due to health reasons and the Covid-19 pandemic, was interrupted in 2020. The market is recovering and the year 2021 has already shown signs of recovery, and the year 2022 has almost reached the turnover of 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought many changes to cruise lines that they have had to implement, primarily for their safety and the safety of passengers. In addition, the rapid development of technique and technology, the Internet, globalization, etc., brings new changes every day, which consumers seek and want, and which shipping companies on the cruise shipping market, if they want to do business successfully, must implement. The changes taking place in the cruise shipping market are the subject of this paper and will be presented below
