"Intervertebral disc disease in a samplem off patients from a general hospital Dubrovnik"
No full textCilj i metode rada: Ispitanici su bolesnici Odjela za neurologiju Opće bolnice Dubrovnik kojima je postavljena dijagnoza bolesti intervertebralnog diska u vremenskom razdoblju od 1. 1. 2018. do 31. 12. 2020. godine.
Studija je retrospektivna i podaci su prikupljeni iz dokumentacije Odjela za neurologiju Opće bolnice Dubrovnik.
Rezultati U studiju je ukljuĉeno 65 ispitanika. Muškaraca je bilo više, ali ne i statistički značajno. Srednja dob svih ispitanika bila je 51,8 godina. Broj osoba s dijagnozom simptomatske bolesti intervertebralnog diska bio je češći u muškaraca, ali ne i statistički značajno. Najveći broj oboljelih bio je u skupini od 41-50 godina. Prosječno svi ispitanici imali su povećanu tjelesnu masu, muškarci u skupini pretilih, a žene u skupini povećane tjelesne mase. U anamnezi traumu je imalo samo 13,8% pacijenata, dijabetes 45%, a pušača je bilo 48% . Hospitaliziranih s ispupčenjem diska bilo je četvero, protruziju diska imao je 31 hospitalizirani, a prolaps diska ukupno 30. 57% hospitaliziranih imalo je indikaciju za operacijskim zahvatom.
Zaključak Od ukupnog broja svih hospitaliziranih na Odjelu za neurologiju Opće bolnice Dubrovnik u trogodišnjem razdoblju 3,8% imalo je dijagnozu bolesti intervertebralnog diska. Kako oboljenje može biti dugotrajno, kao i značajno smanjiti radnu sposobnost i kvalitetu života, potrebno je uložiti maksimalne mjere u prevenciji, kako na radnom mjestu, tako i u privatnom životu.Objectives and Methods: The study included patients admitted to the Department of Neurology, Dubrovnik General Hospital who were diagnosed with intervertebral disc disease from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020.
This is a retrospective study and the data were collected from the Department of Neurology, Dubrovnik General Hospital.
Results: The study included 65 patients. The majority of them were man, but it was statistically non-significant. The mean age of all patients was 51.8 years.
Intervertebral disc disease was more common in men; however, it was statistically non-significant. The majority of patients were within the 41-50 years of age group.
On average, all patients had increased body mass. Men were classified as obese, and women as overweight.
Only 13.8% of patients had a medical history of trauma, 45% had diabetes, and 48% were smokers. There were four patients with bulging disc, 31 patients with disc protrusion, and 30 patients with prolapsed disc.
57% of hospitalized patients had indications for surgical treatment.
Conclusion: Out of the total number of all patients admitted to the Department of Neurology, Dubrovnik General Hospital over the three-year period, 3.8% were diagnosed with intervertebral disc disease. Since the disease can be long-lasting and significantly reduce the functional capacity as well as the quality of life, it is necessary to implement additional prevention measures, both in the workplace and in private lif
"Animal eponyms in neurology"
No full textU ovom preglednom radu opisano je 36 „Životinjskih“ eponima i 42 „Životinjska“ klinička znaka koja se često koriste u neurologiji. Medicinari su općenito podijeljeni u svezi upotrebe eponima. To se osobito odnosi na “humane” eponime kojima se odaje počast osobama koje su opisale ili u upotrebu uvele određene dijagnostičke ili terapijske procedure, opisale različite kliničke simpotome i znakove i sl. Manji je problem sa “životinjskim” i “brojčanim” eponimima prema kojima je većina medicinske zajednice više-manje indiferentna. Postoji gotovo 8.000 medicinskih eponima. Od toga je oko 450 neuroloških “humanih” eponima. Poznavajući maštovitost neurologa, neuroradiologa i neuroznanstvenika za očekivati je nove eponime u budućnosti, tako da i ovaj popis životinjskih eponima sigurno nije konačan.This review describes 36 "animal" eponyms and 42 "animal" clinical signs that are often used in neurology. Physicians are generally divided regarding the use of eponyms. This is especially true with "human" eponyms, which honor those who have described or created certain diagnostic or therapeutic techniques, as well as clinical symptoms and signs. There is less of a problem with "animal" and "numerical" eponyms, to which most of the medical community is more or less indifferent. Nearly 8,000 medical eponyms exist. Around 450 of these are neurological "human" eponyms. Knowing the imagination of neurologists, neuroradiologists, and neuroscientists, new eponyms are to be expected in the future, so this list of animal eponyms is certainly not final
Development and Technological Characteristics of Crude Oil Carriers
No full textPrijevoz sirove nafte je od samih početaka bio izazovan pothvat, što je samim tim kroz povijest podrazumijevalo potrebu za tehnološkim razvojem vrste brodova koje danas zovemo tankeri za prijevoz sirove nafte. Sve veća globalna potreba za sirovom naftom utjecala je na neprekidni razvoj brodova za prijevoz sirove nafte, a zbog svoje posebnosti kao teret zahtjevala je suvremena rješenja.
Značajni napredak koji se odnosio na siguran prijevoza sirove nafte odrazio se na bolji život za posadu. Uzimajući u obzir sve sustave koje danas imamo na raspolaganju, te izvježbanu i kvalificiranu posadu, prilika za veće nezgode je izrazito malena.Transport of crude oil was challenging since the beginning, which therefore troughout history implied the need for development of certain type of ship today known as crude oil carriers. The increasing global need for crude oil has influenced continuous development of vessels for crude oil transport, due to its uniqueness as cargo it required modern solutions.
Significant improvement related to the safe transportation of crude oil reflected in a better life for crew. Considering all the systems we have available today, trained and qualified crew, the chance for major accidents is extremely small
Specifics of Production and Conservation-Restoration Approaches to Japanese Ceramics
No full textCilj je ovog rada povijesno-umjetnička i kulturološka analiza istočno azijske keramike te skretanje pozornosti na pristupe restauraciji istih.
U radu je prikazana evolucija keramike i porculana Dalekog istoka s pregledom specifičnih formi, materijala i tehnika te dekorativnih motiva. Napravljen je osvrt na povijesni razvoj kineske, korejske i japanske keramike i porculana.
Budući da Koreja leži sjeverno od Kine i u blizini japanskih otoka, uspostavila je kulturnu vezu između dviju zemalja. Njihov utjecaj nezaobilazan je za daljnje formiranje japanskog keramičkog stila koji je nastao kao posljedica susreta i prožimanja dviju kultura. Inspiriran umjetnošću svojih susjeda, Japan je transformirao i preveo kineske i korejske prototipove u jedinstvenu japansku kreaciju, koja će u stoljećima koja slijede imati veliki utjecaj na lokalnu produkciju u zapadnoj Europi.
U dijelu rada koji se odnosi na specifičnosti konzervatorsko-restauratorskih pristupa porculanu, opisat će se drevna japanska tehnika Kintsugi.The aim of this work is the historical-artistic and cultural analysis of East Asian ceramics with drawing attention to approaches of their restoration. In this Master thesis evolution of ceramics and porcelain of the Far East is presented with an overview of specific forms, materials and techniques and decorative motifs.
A review of historical development of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese ceramics and porcelain was made in this thesis.
Since Korea lies north of China and near the Japanese islands, a cultural connection between these two countries has been established. Iinfluence on each other is inevitable for the further formation of Japanese ceramic style that arose because of the encounter and permeation of two cultures. Inspired by the art of its neighbors, Japan transformed and translated Chinese and Korean prototypes into a uniquely Japanese creation, which in the following centuries will have a great influence on the local production in Western Europe.
In the part of this thesis that refers to the specifics of conservation-restoration approaches to porcelain, the ancient Japanese Kintsugi technique will be described
Consumer Behavior in Tourism
No full textPonašanje potrošača označava proces koji uključuje prije i poslije kupovno ponašanje. Kad se pod utjecajima raznih čimbenika stvori želja da se proizvod ili usluga kupi, nakon realizacije kupovine i konzumiranja slijedi post-kupovna reakcija koja uključuje recenzije korištenja, a to su zadovoljstvo/nezadovoljstvo, ispunjenje očekivanja, odluka hoće li kupac ostati vjeran proizvodu te hoće li ga dalje preporučiti. Predmet ovoga rada su čimbenici utjecaja na ponašanje potrošača, odnosno čimbenici utjecaja na ponašanje potrošača u turizmu. Svrha ovoga rada je utvrditi čimbenike utjecaja na ponašanje potrošača u turizmu. Za potrebe rada analizirane i uspoređene dvije kulture - njemačka i japanska. Cilj ovoga rada je prikaz utjecaja čimbenika ponašanja potrošača na motive odmora, izbor destinacije i načina rezervacije prijevoza i smještaja. Istraživanje je utemeljeno na sekundarnim podacima, koji su analizirani i donesene su zaključci. Analizom je utvrđeno da se Hrvatska profilirala na njemačkom tržištu kao destinacija gdje obitelj uživa u moru i suncu, dok je na japanskom tržištu prepoznata kao zemlja lijepih pejzaža, bogate kulture, te vrhunskih vina i gastronomije. Istraživanje se odnosi samo na dvije kulture – njemačku i japansku, pa je to i njegovo glavno ograničenje.Consumer behaviour refers to a process that involves pre-and post-purchase behaviour. When the influence of various factors creates a desire to buy a product or service, after the purchase and consumption are followed by a post-purchase reaction that includes reviews of use, such as satisfaction/dissatisfaction, fulfilment of expectations, deciding whether the customer stays true to the product and whether recommend it further. The subject of this work are factors influencing consumer behaviour, i.e. factors influencing consumer behaviour in tourism. The purpose of this paper is to determine the influencing factors on consumer behaviour in tourism. For the purpose of the work, two cultures were analysed and compared - German and Japanese. The aim of this paper is to present the influence of consumer behaviour factors on vacation motives, choice of destination and methods of booking transport and accommodation. The research is based on secondary data, which were analysed and conclusions were drawn. The analysis established that Croatia has profiled itself on the German market as a destination where families enjoy the sea and the sun, while on the Japanese market it is recognized as a country of beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and excellent wines and gastronomy. The research concerns only two cultures - German and Japanese, so this is its main limitation
Modern Transport Technologies
No full textGlobalizacija i razvoj suvremenih tehnologija kao i načina življenja, komunikacije pa tako i prijevoza uvelike je utjecala na način i prijevoza i transporta te zbog potreba tržišta, odnosno načina življenja i poslovanja u kojemu je imperativ postala brzina, jednostavnost i što manji financijski izdatci. Kako bi se zadovoljile sve potrebe tržišta i osigurala efikasnost i zadovoljstvo klijenata, razvile su se brojne suvremene transportne tehnologije, a s obzirom na integralni, intermodalni i kombinirani način transporta, u brojnim se transportima radi što bolje učinkovitosti ove tehnologije i kombiniraju. Značajke i metode suvremenih transportnih tehnologija su paletizacija, kontejnerizacija, huckepack tehnologija, bimodalna tehnologija transporta, RO-RO tehnologija, LO-LO tehnologija te FO-FO tehnologija, a daljnji se razvoj suvremenih tehnologija vidi u razvoju autonomnih vozila, hyperloop tehnologiji, laganim materijalima za vozila, transport dronovima te razvoju sustava željeznica koje će imati iznimne brzine kretanja.
Dakle, suvremene se transportne tehnologije konstantno razvijaju i danas je teško zamisliti uspješno poslovanje ovih djelatnosti bez njihove upotrebe, a kako bi se ostvarila konkurentnost na tržištu, nužno ih je razvijati i pratiti trendove i osluškivati potrebe tržišta koristeći i u svoje poslovanje uvodeći najnovije tehnološke transportne inovacije.Globalization and the development of modern technologies and ways of life, communication and, consequently, transport, have greatly influenced the mode of transport and transportation, as well as the needs of the market, that is, the way of life and business, in which speed, simplicity and lower financial costs have become imperative. In order to meet all market needs and ensure efficiency and customer satisfaction, many modern transport technologies have been developed, and in view of the integrated, intermodal and combined transportation mode, many transportation modes are working to combine the efficiency of this technology.
The features and methods of modern transport technologies include palletization, containerization, huckepack technology, bimodal transport technology, RO-RO technology, LOLO technology and FO-FO technology. The further development of modern technologies can be seen in the development of autonomous vehicles, hyperloop technology, lightweight materials for vehicles, drone transport, and the development of rail systems with extraordinary speeds.
Therefore, modern transport technologies are constantly evolving, and today it is difficult to imagine the successful operation of these activities without their use, to be competitive in the market it is necessary to develop them, follow trends and listen to the needs of the market
"The nurses role in the treatment and prevention of cervical cancer"
No full textRak vrata maternice zloćudna je bolest kod koje dolazi do promjena na stanicama vrata maternice te iste počinju nekontrolirano rasti. Kod određenog broja žena promijenjene stanice (predstadiji raka) mogu se razviti u rak. Ova bolest najčešće je posljedica infekcije humanim papiloma virusom koja se prenosi spolnim putem. U fazi predstadija žene najčešće nemaju simptome, dok u uznapredovaloj fazi bolest najčešće prate nepravilno krvarenje, krvarenje između dva menstrualna ciklusa, krvarenje nakon spolnog odnosa, neuobičajeni iscjedak i bolovi u donjem dijelu trbuha. Dijagnoza bolesti postavlja se na temelju ginekološkog pregleda, citološkog nalaza (Papa-test), kolposkopije, biopsije te patohistološkom dijagnostikom nakon konizacije. Prepoznavši veličinu javnozdravstvenog problema, prednosti organiziranog probira kao i činjenicu da je rak vrata maternice u gotovo 90% slučajeva izlječiva bolest ukoliko se primjene sve poznate i znanstveno utemeljene metode prevencije i liječenja, Vlada Republike Hrvatske je 15. srpnja 2010. usvojila Nacionalni program ranog otkrivanja raka vrata maternice. Cilj rada bio je pregledom dostupne literature opisati čimbenike koji utječu na pojavnost karcinom vrata maternice, rizičnu populaciju kao i preventivne mjere s ciljem sprečavanja kao i ranog otkrivanja i liječenja karcinoma, s naglaskom na zdravstvenu njegu i definiranje sestrinskih problema i intervencija. Također, cilj rada je opisati organizaciju provođenja Nacionalnog programa ranog otkrivanja raka vrata maternice koji se provodi na razini županija, uspješnost provođenja u proteklom razdoblju i ulogu medicinske sestre. Metode koje su korištene tijekom izrade rada su bile pregledavanje sadržaja iz stručnih knjiga, priručnika i ostalih stručnih i znanstvenih publikacija. Također su pregledavane dostupne literature u stručnim i znanstvenim bazama podataka (PubMed, Scholar, Hrčak) objavljene na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku publicirane u vremenskom razdoblju od 2000. do 2020. godine.Cervical cancer is a malignant disease in which there is a change in the cells of the cervix and they begin to grow uncontrollably. In a number of women, altered cells (pre-stages of cancer) can develop into cancer. This disease is most often the result of a sexually transmitted human papilloma virus infection. In the preclinical phase, women usually have no symptoms, while in the unknown phase of the disease they are most often accompanied by irregular bleeding, bleeding between two menstrual cycles, bleeding after intercourse, unusual discharge and pain in the lower abdomen. The diagnosis of the disease is made on the basis of gynecological examination, cytological findings (Pap test), colposcopy, biopsy and pathohistological diagnosis after conization. Recognizing the magnitude of the public health problem, the benefits of organized screening and the fact that cervical cancer in almost 90% of cases causes disease if all known and scientifically based methods of prevention and treatment are applied, the Government of the Republic of Croatia adopted the National Early Detection Program cervical cancer. The aim of this paper was to review the available literature to describe the factors influencing the occurrence of cervical cancer, risk population and preventive measures to prevent and early detection and treatment of cancer, with emphasis on health care and defining nursing problems and interventions. Also, the aim of the paper is to describe the organization of the implementation of the National Program for Early Detection of Cervical Cancer implemented at the county level, the success of the implementation in the past period and the role of the nurse. The methods used during the preparation of the paper were reviewed content from professional books, manuals and other professional and scientific publications. The available literature in professional and scientific databases (PubMed, Scholar, Hrčak) published in Croatian and English for the public in the period from 2000 to 2020 was also reviewed

No full textU radu je opisan problem dijagnostike dijabetesa pomoću demografskih i kliničkih podataka. Cilj istraživanja je pokazati kako se korištenjem strojnog učenja odnosno algoritama iz programskog alata Weka može pomoći liječniku kod postavljanja dijagnoze. U uvodnom dijelu prikazana su druga istraživanja i radovi u kojima su primijenjeni različiti pristupi i algoritmi strojnog učenja u cilju dijagnostike dijabetesa. Detaljno je opisan i odabrani skup podataka. Na temelju rezultata prethodnih radova i dodatnih istraživanja odabrane su dvije metode koje su ostvarile najbolje rezultate klasifikacije - Multilayer Perceptron i LMT (Logistic Model Tree). Detaljno su opisana oba algoritma, kao i metrike pomoću kojih se mjere performanse modela. Rezultati su pokazali da odabrani algoritmi imaju visoku točnost dijagnostike dijabetesa te da bi u praksi mogli predstavljati značajnu pomoć liječniku.The paper describes the problem of classification of diabetes using demographic and clinical data. The goal of the research is to show how to use machine learning, i.e. algorithms from the Weka software tool, can help the doctor in making a diagnosis. In the introductory part, other research and papers are presented in which different approaches and algorithms of machine learning are applied to diagnose diabetes. The selected data set is described in detail. Based on the results of previous works and additional research, two methods were chosen that realized the best classification results - Multilayer Perceptron and LMT (Logistic Model Tree). Both algorithms are described in detail as well, as the metrics used to measure the performance of the model. The results showed that the selected algorithms have a high accuracy in the diagnosis of diabetes and that in practice they could represent a significant help to the doctor
Utjecaj ionosferske pogreške na performanse GNSS sustava
No full textU ovom radu predstavljeni su navigacijski satelitski sustavi: američki GPS, europski Galileo,
ruski GLONASS te kineski BeiDou. Zatim se navode pogreške GPS sustava koje su
uzrokovane raznim čimbenicima. Opširnije je obrađena ionosferska pogreška te njen utjecaj na
rad GNSS sustava. Naime, ionosferska pogreška ima najznačajniji utjecaj na širenje satelitskih
signala od satelitske antene do prijamnika. Kako bi se riješio problem kašnjenja signala kroz
ionosferu postoji niz modela ispravke ionosferskih kašnjenja. U radu su prikazana četiri
modela: Klobuchar model, BeiDou model, GLONASS model i empirijski GEMTEC model.This thesis presents navigation satellite systems: American GPS, European Galileo, Russian
GLONASS, and Chinese BeiDou. Then, the errors of the GPS system, which are caused by
various factors, are listed. More has been written about the ionospheric error and its effect on
the operation of the GNSS system. The ionospheric error has the most significant influence on
the propagation of satellite signals from the satellite antenna to the receiver. In order to solve
the problem of signal delay through the ionosphere, different ionospheric delay correction
models are used. This thesis presents four models: the Klobuchar model, the BeiDou model,
the GLONASS model, and the empirical GEMTEC model
