"Presence of the parasite Anisakis spp. in selected fish species from the Dubrovnik fish market"
No full textAnisakis spp. Dujardin, 1845 je parazit koji invadira utrobu morskih riba i sisavaca. Pronađen je u mnogim ekonomski važnim i tržišno dostupnim vrstama riba koje nastanjuje u obliku L3 ličinki iz kojih se dalje prenosi u morske sisavce u kojima se razvija do odraslog stadija. Uzrokuje stalni gubitak energije, što značajno utječe na fiziologiju i ponašanje domaćina. Koliko je intenzivna promjena ovisi o količini parazita, te životnom stadiju domaćina. Ljudi se mogu zaraziti konzumiranjem invadirane ribe, ali su slučajni domaćini, budući da prijenos parazita na ljude ne može rezultirati potpunim životnim ciklusom parazita. Cilj istraživanja ovog rada je analiza i pregled na prisutnost ovog parazita u pet tržišno dostupnih vrsta s dubrovačke ribarnice, a to su oslić Merluccius merluccius Linnaeus, 1758, srdela Sardina pilchardus Walbaum, 1792, šarun Trachurus trachurus Linnaeus, 1758, bukva Boops boops Linnaeus, 1758 i trlja od blata Mullus barbatus Linnaeus, 1758. Ukupno je analizirano 210 jedinki duljine od 11,4 do 45,9 cm, od kojih je 67 jedinki bilo invadirano parazitom Anisakis spp, u vrstama oslić i šarun, dok u ostale tri nije nađen niti jedan parazit.Anisakis spp. Dujardin, 1845 is a parasite that invades the intestines of marine fish and mammals. It is found in many economically important and marketable fish species that are in the form of L3 larvae, from which it is further transferred to marine mammals, where it develops to the adult stage. It causes a constant loss of energy that significantly affects host physiology and behavior. How severe the changes are depends on the amount of parasite and the life stage of the host. Humans can become infected by consuming infested fish, but are accidental hosts because transfer of the parasite to humans cannot result in a complete life cycle of the parasite. The aim of this study is to analyze and verify the presence of this parasite in five commercial fish species from Dubrovnik fish market, namely in European hake (Merluccius merluccius Linnaeus, 1758), in sardine (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum, 1792), in Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus Linnaeus, 1758), in bogue (Boops boops Linnaeus, 1758) and in striped red mullet (Mullus barbatus Linnaeus, 1758). A total of 210 individuals ranging in total length from 11.4 to 45.9 cm were examined, of which 67 individuals in European hake and Atlantic horse mackerel were infested with the parasite Anisakis spp. while no parasites were found in the other three species
Usage of ECDIS in Navigation
No full textPrimjena papirnatih plovidbenih karata polako odlazi u zaborav. Naime, u suvremenom svijetu zamjenjuju ih sustavi elektroničkih karata, kao što je Informacijski sustav s prikazom elektroničkih pomorskih karata, Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). Potpuno je uveden u praksu 2018. godine te je njegova primjena u suvremenom svijetu neupitna. Kreiran je s ciljem da poveća razinu sigurnosti tijekom plovidbe i olakša rad navigatora. Sam sustav ima svoje prednosti i nedostatke. Uz očite prednosti poput šire dostupnosti, veće preciznosti, brzine i mogućnosti stalnog praćenja lokacije broda nažalost dolaze i problemi poput mogućnosti neispravnosti ulaznih podataka, kašnjenja u sustavu, pojave anomalija i slično. Iako e- navigacija i dalje ima prostora za napredak, definitivno se smatra prekretnicom koja pomorsku industriju uvodi u novo doba, a sadašnji trendovi u navigaciji pokazuju kako je tip sustava kao što je ECDIS tek uvod u ono što će e-navigacija u budućnosti postati.The use of paper navigation charts is slowly being left aside. Namely, in the modern world they are replaced by electronic chart systems such as the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). System fully entered into service in the 2018., and it's use in the modern world today is unquestionable. It was created with the aim of increasing the level of safety during navigation and facilitating the navigator's work. System solely have its' advantages and disadvantages. Besides obvious advantages such as wider availability, greater precision, speed and the ability to constantly monitor the ship's location, unfortunately there are some disadvantages such as the possibility of incorrect input data, delays in the system, occurrence of anomalies and the like. Although e-navigation still has room for improvement, it is definitely considered a turning point that ushers the maritime industry into a new era, and current trends in navigation show that a type of system such as ECDIS is just an introduction to what e-navigation is to become in the future
"Neck mass"
No full textBolesnici ili njihovi članovi obitelji mogu primijetiti masu (tvorbu) na vratu, ili se ona može otkriti za vrijeme redovitog pregleda. Masa na vratu može, ovisno o uzroku, biti bezbolna ili bolna. Uzroci mase na vratu su mnogobrojni i obuhvaćaju infektivne, zloćudne i prirođene. Među infektivne uzročnike spadaju: HIV, mononukleoza, virusna ili bakterijska infekcija orofarinksa (najčešće faringitis, infekcija gornjeg dišnog sustava, ponekad infekcija zuba), primarni bakterijski limfadenitis te TBC. Zloćudne promjene koje se pokažu kao čvor na vratu su metastaze tumora glave, te metastaze iz udaljenih sijela najčešće iz gornjeg dišnog sustava i gastrointestinalnog sustava. Može se raditi i o primarnim tumorima tkiva vrata. Što se tiče prirođenih uzroka to su: cista škržnog luka, dermoidna ili sebacealna cista i cista duktustireoglosusa.Bitno je dijagnostičkim postupkom dokazati etiologiju čvora na vratu te po postavljenoj dijagnozi može uslijediti najsvrsishodnije liječenje.Patientsortheirfamilymembersmaynotice a mass (formation) on the neck, oritcanbedetectedduringregularcheck-ups.

The impact of online media in postmodern society
No full textUzastopnim rastom i razvojem tehnologije ljudi se danas više okreću online medijima od klasičnih medija. Time su mediji uvidjeli potrebu i priliku za oglašavanjem na svojim portalima, mrežama i slično. Budući da danas većina ljudi ne može zamisliti dan bez surfanja na internetu i da se sve češće posjećuju online mediji, sve češće se kupuje putem interneta, online mediji su se pokazali kao dobri izvori informacija. S obzirom na to da danas svi drže mobitele, tablete ili laptope pored sebe, rijetko tko za informiranje koristi tiskovne medije, svi prate medije putem interneta, bilo putem portala ili društvenih mreža. Postoje mnogobrojne prednosti online medija poput: nema troškova, dostupnost, praktičnost, brza vidljivost i slično. S druge strane, postoje i brojni nedostaci poput zakonske regulative, lažnih i neprovjerenih informacija, sigurnosti i privatnosti te ostalo.
U ovom radu, mediji su objašnjeni od svojih početaka do danas. Ukratko je objašnjena podjela medija, te mediji kao sastavni dio naših života, od klasičnih do suvremenih. Također, spomenuta je sama uloga interneta u svakodnevnom životu i navedene su pozitivne i negativne strane interneta kao masovnog medija. Nadalje, spomenuti su novinari, odnosno novinarstvo, elektroničke i online novine, televizijski programi i slično. Osim navedenoga, u radu se osvrnuo i na vezu interneta sa masovnim medijima te su se mediji obradili kao sredstvo manipuliranja. Potom slijedi najvažniji dio ovog rada, a to je provedeno istraživanje utjecaja online medija u postmodernom društvu, čiji su rezultati prikazani u radu.With the continuous growth and development of technology, people today are turning more to online media than traditional media. With this, the media saw the need and opportunity for advertising on their portals, networks and the like. Since today most people cannot imagine a day without surfing the Internet and online media are visited more and more often, online shopping is more and more frequent, online media have proven to be good sources of information. Given that today everyone keeps mobile phones, tablets or laptops next to them, hardly anyone uses print media for information, everyone follows the media via the Internet, either through portals or social networks. There are numerous advantages of online media such as: no costs, availability, practicality, quick visibility and the like. On the other hand, there are numerous shortcomings such as legal regulations, false and unverified information, security and privacy, and others.
In this paper, the media are explained from their beginnings to the present day. The division of the media, and the media as an integral part of our lives, from classic to contemporary, is briefly explained. Also, the role of the Internet in everyday life was mentioned and the positive and negative sides of the Internet as a mass media were mentioned. Furthermore, journalists were mentioned, i.e. journalism, electronic and online newspapers, television programs and the like. In addition to the above, the paper also referred to the connection of the Internet with the mass media, and the media were treated as a means of manipulation. This is followed by the most important part of this paper, which is the research conducted on the influence of online media in post-modern society, the results of which are presented in the paper
Tools and Ttechniques for Improving Production and Service Processes
No full textKroz ovaj rad obrađena je tematika upravljanja kvalitetom kroz tehnike i alate i to u uslužnom i proizvodnom procesu. Upravljanje kvalitetom jedna je od strategija za poboljšanje proizvodnje i usluga asortiman, kojim tvrtke nastoje ostvariti konkurentsku prednost, razlikovati se u odnosu na konkurente i za jačanje vodeće pozicije na tržištu. U radu su nabrojene i objašnjene osnovne tehnike i alati putem kojih se kvaliteta u organizaciji podiže na višu razinu. Kako bi zadovoljili potrošače, kvaliteta proizvoda ili usluge mora biti na prvom mjestu, a time i upravljanje kvalitetom je vrlo važan poslovni segment, a ova je tema je danas vrlo aktualna i zanimljiva. Put do poslovne izvrsnosti i dostizanja razine kvalitete proizvoda i procesa, što bi osiguralo zadovoljstvo svih korisnika, ali i zaposlenika, može se razvijati u više pravaca. Zbog velike konkurencije i sve većih zahtjeva potrošača kvaliteta je postala temeljni čimbenik opstanka na tržištu, ne samo pojedinih djelatnosti i organizacija već i cjelokupnoga državnog gospodarstva.Through this work, the topic of quality management through techniques and tools is addressed, both in the service and production process. Quality management is one of the strategies for improving production and service assortment, with which companies strive to achieve a competitive advantage, to differentiate themselves from competitors and to strengthen their leading position on the market. The paper enumerates and explains the basic techniques and tools through which the quality in the organization is raised to a higher level. In order to satisfy consumers, the quality of the product or service must be in the first place, and therefore quality management is a very important business segment, and this topic is very current and interesting today. The path to business excellence and reaching the level of product and process quality, which would ensure the satisfaction of all users, as well as employees, can be developed in several directions. Due to the great competition and increasing demands of consumers, quality has become a fundamental factor of survival on the market, not only of individual activities and organizations, but also of the entire national economy

No full textGlavni cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je analizirati u kojoj su mjeri građani Dubrovnika i bliže okolice osviješteni o projektu strateškog upravljanja destinacijom Dubrovnik, Respect the City te u kojoj mjeri su zadovoljni učincima istog u smislu održivosti destinacije. Rad prepoznaje važnost dostupnih razvojnih dokumenata i strateških projekta kojim se adresirala kriza nastala prekomjernim turizmom, i kroz njih su evidentni napori gradske uprave kako bi se identificirani problemi riješili. U svojoj srž,i rad je identificirao potrebu za konkretnijom komunikacijom o strateškim projektima sa posebnim fokusom na Respect the City, kao najvažnijem sveobuhvatnom projektu za budući održivi razvoj destinacije Dubrovnik.
U radu su pregledom literature teorijski obrađeni osnovni pojmovi vezani za Upravljanje razvojem i upravljanje krizom, pojmovi održivog razvoja i održivog turizma, analiza Agendi i projekata vezanih za održivi razvoj i održivi turizam kao i različiti dokumenti vezani za probleme destinacije Dubrovnik kao posljedica prekomjernog turizma. Na posljetku, autorica je analizirala projekt Respect the City, i utvrdila nepostojanje komunikacijske strategije o istom.
Provedeno je anketno istraživanje lokalnog stanovništva na temelju kojeg se analiziralo njihovo poznavanje strateškog projekta Respect the City, mjera i aktivnosti te zadovoljstvo dosadašnjim učincima projekta. Utvrđena je povezanost neinformiranosti lokalnog stanovništva s nedostatkom komunikacijske strategije za Projekt kroz postavljene hipoteze.The main goal of this thesis was to analyze the extent to which the citizens of Dubrovnik and the surrounding area are familiarized with the project of strategic management of the destination Dubrovnik, Respect the City and to what extent are they satisfied with its effects in terms of destination sustainability. The paper recognizes the importance of available development documents and strategic projects that addressed the crisis caused by excessive tourism. The efforts of the city administration to solve the identified problems are evident. At its core, the paper also identified the need for more tangible communication on strategic projects with a special focus on Respect the City, as the most important comprehensive project for the future sustainable development of the destination Dubrovnik.
The paper reviews the basic concepts related to development management and crisis management, concepts of sustainable development and sustainable tourism, analysis of Agendas and projects related to sustainable development and sustainable tourism and various documents related to the problems of Dubrovnik as a result of excessive tourism. Finally, the author analyzed the Respect the City project, and a lacking communication strategy about it.
A survey of the local population was conducted, based on which their knowledge of the strategic project Respect the City, measures and activities, and satisfaction with the project's effects so far were analyzed. The connection between the lack of information of the local population and the lack of communication strategy for the Project through the set hypotheses was confirmed
Business Ethics and Management
No full textEtika je filozofska disciplina poznata širom svijeta i proučavana je kroz stoljeda. Ljudska populacija konzumira etiku ovisno o okruženju u kojem žive, odrastaju, rade. Od rođenja pa kroz život uvijek se spominju tzv. „nepisana moralna pravila“, odnosno šablona očekivanog ponašanja pojedinca ili grupe što za rezultat ima pozitivan učinak. Kao što je važna u svakodnevnom životu, etika je također od iznimne važnosti i u poduzedima. Stup svakog poduzeda bi trebalo biti moralno i društveno odgovorno poslovanje. Obzirom da ne postoji idealan način strukturiranja poduzeda, važno je da ono ima kvalitetan menadžment. Da bi zaposlenici bili motivirani, a poslovni ciljevi ostvareni ključno je vodstvo poduzeda. Vodstvo je jedna od temeljnih aktivnosti menadžmenta, ali najutjecajnije na radnu atmosferu i ponašanje zaposlenika. Ključnu ulogu u vodstvu ima vođa (leader) koji mora imati znanja i vještine da bi usmjeravao i motivirao druge zaposlenike na izvršenje radnih zadataka. Tu dolazi do potrebe za integracijom etike u vodstvo, jer ponašanje vođe i njegov utjecaj važni su za okolinu.Ethics is a philosophical discipline known throughout the world and has been studied throughout the centuries. The human population consumes ethics depending on the environment in which they live, grow up, and work. From birth to throughout life, the so-called 'unwritten moral rules' are a template of expected behavior of an individual or a group which results in a positive effect. Just as it is important in everyday life, ethics are also of utmost importance in business. The pillar of every company should be moral and socially responsible business. Given that there is no ideal way of structuring a company, it is important that it has quality management. In order for employees to be motivated and business goals to be achieved, company leadership is key. Leadership is one of the fundamental activities of management, but the most influential on the working atmosphere and behavior of employees. A key role in leadership is played by the leader, who must have the knowledge and skills to direct and motivate other employees to perform work tasks. This is where the need to integrate ethics into leadership comes in, because the leader's behavior and its influence are important for the environment
Analysis of relations with the media and the achieved publicity of the Civil Protection Headquarters of the Republic of Croatia during the coronavirus pandemic
No full textOvim radom prikazano je komuniciranje članova Stožera civilne zaštite Republike Hrvatske s medijima u krizi izazvanoj pojavom pandemije koronavirusa. Kriza nastala pojavom koronavirusa naglasila je potrebu komunikacijskih stručnjaka, budući da je komuniciranje glavno sredstvo upravljanja kriznim situacijama. Prikazane su karakteristike krizne komunikacije Nacionalnog stožera s medijima u cilju postizanja željenih učinaka u medijima i javnosti prenošenjem ključnih poruka i informiranjem javnosti o mjerama, preporukama i odlukama tijekom pandemije. Percepcija komunikacijske kompetencije članova Stožera u početku pandemije je uglavnom pozitivna. Vremenom se ključni komunikatori Stožera trebaju nositi sa sve više aspekata, što je povećalo intenzitet komuniciranja i dovelo do sve kompleksnijih situacija. Hipoteza rada koja tvrdi da je uspješno komuniciranje zdravstvenih stručnjaka i članova Stožera civilne zaštite Republike Hrvatske pri kriznoj komunikaciji u pandemiji dovelo do lakšeg ovladavanja zdravstvenom krizom stoga je djelomično potvrđena.This thesis presents the communication of members of the Civil Protection Headquarters of the Republic of Croatia with the media during the crisis caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. The crisis caused by the emergence of the coronavirus emphasized the need for communication experts since communication is the main means of managing crises. The characteristics of the National Headquarters' crisis communication with the media are presented to achieve the desired effects on the media and the public by conveying key messages and informing the public about measures, recommendations and decisions during the pandemic. The perception of the communication competence of the members of the Headquarters at the beginning of the pandemic is mostly positive. Over time, key communicators of the Headquarters have to deal with more and more aspects, which increased the intensity of communication and led to more and more complex situations. The hypothesis of the work, which claims that the successful communication of health experts and members of the Civil Protection Headquarters of the Republic of Croatia during crisis communication during the pandemic led to easier handling of the health crisis, has therefore been partially confirmed.

"Environmental pollution-impact on human health"
No full textZaštita okoliša je praksa zaštite prirodnog okoliša od strane pojedinaca, organizacija i vlada. Njezini su ciljevi očuvati prirodne resurse i postojeći prirodni okoliš te, gdje je to moguće, popraviti štetu i promijeniti trendove. Zbog pritisaka prekomjerne potrošnje, rasta stanovništva i tehnologije, biofizičko okruženje degradira se, ponekad i trajno. To je prepoznato i vlade su počele ograničavati aktivnosti koje uzrokuju degradaciju okoliša. Od 1960-ih ekološki pokreti doveli su do veće svijesti o brojnim ekološkim problemima. Također, prepoznato je da loše upravljanje okolišem ima negativan učinak na ljudsko zdravlje te na biljni i životinjski svijet, kao i na ekosustav općenito.Environmental protection is the practice of protecting the natural environment by individuals, organizations and governments. Its objectives are to preserve natural resources and the existing natural environment and, where possible, to repair damage and change trends. Due to the pressures of over-consumption, population growth and technology, the biophysical environment is degrading, sometimes permanently. This was recognized and governments began to restrict activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, environmental movements have led to a greater awareness of a number of environmental issues. Also, it has been recognized that poor environmental management has a negative impact on human health and on flora and fauna as well as on the ecosystem in general

No full textOperativno zbrinjavanje prijeloma distalnog radijusa u OB Dubrovnik tijekom 2018. i 2019. godine
Cilj: Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi pojedine značajke operativnog zbrinjavanja prijeloma distalnog radijusa u OB Dubrovnik u 2018. i 2019. godini te utvrditi jesu li dob i spol te postojeće zdravstveno stanje bile statistički značajne varijable u slučajevima prijeloma distalnog radijusa u OB Dubrovnik tijekom 2018. i 2019. godine.
Materijali i metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno N=19 ispitanika, a to je ujedno ukupan broj pacijenata koji je zahtijevao operativno zbrinjavanje u razdoblju od 01.01.2018. do 31.12.2018. godine. Na temelju sekundarnih podataka koji su prikupljeni iz bolničkog informacijskog sustava OB Dubrovnik za 2018. i 2019. godinu, izvršena je statističko-matematička obrada prikupljenih podataka.
Rezultati: Rezultati istraživanja o operativnom zbrinjavanju prijeloma distalnog radijusa u OB Dubrovnik 2018. i 2019. godine pokazuju da je u tom razdoblju operativno zbrinuto ukupno 19 pacijenata, 47% u 2018. i 53% u 2019. Prosječna dob pacijenata je iznosila 57,36 godina, a glavninu pacijenata su činili pacijenti ženskog spola. Najčešći uzrok ozljede je pad prilikom okliznuća i spoticanja. Eventualne akutne i/ili kronične bolesti nisu statistički značajno utjecale na nastanak prijeloma. Najčešće metode operacije su bile zatvorena repozicija i perkutana fiskacija ulomaka te otvorena repozicija i unutarnja fiksacija. Prosječna duljina hospitalizacije je iznosila 2,23 dana uz zadovoljavajući tijek postoperativnog oporavka.
Zaključak: Dokazano je da su ženski spol i viša starosna dob rizični čimbenici za nastanak prijeloma.Operative treatment of distal radius fractures in General Hospital Dubrovnik in year 2018 and
2019.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of operative treatment. and
whether age, sex and health condition of the patients were statistically significant variables in
patients with distal radius fractures in General Hospital Dubrovnik in year 2018 and 2019.
Materials and methods: A total of 19 participants were enrolled in this study. It is
noteworthy that this is also the total number of patients who required operative treatment
between January 1st 2018 and December 31st 2019. A statistical analysis of secondary data,
collected from the hospital data system from the mentioned interval, was performed.
Results: The results show that a total of 19 patients required operative treatment, 9 (47%) of
them in year 2018 and 10 (53%) in 2019. Average age of participants was 57,36 years and
female patients made up the majority. The most common cause of injury was ground level
fall due to a slip or a stumble. Coexisting diseases, whether acute or chronic, were found to
be of no statistically significant relevance to the occurence of a fracture. The most common
operative methods were closed reposition with percutaneous fragment fixation and open
reposition with internal fragment fixation. The average lenght of hospital stay was 2.23 days
with satisfactory course of post-operative recovery.
Conclusion: A statistically significant corellation between female sex and senior age and
distal radius fractures was found
