    Tema ovog diplomskog rada je kretanje cijena u eurozoni. Hrvatska je postala punopravna članica Europske unije u srpnju 2013. godine. Potpisivanjem ugovora Hrvatska se obvezala preuzeti zakonodavstvo Europske unije pa tako i uvesti euro kao svoju službenu valutu, što će se dogoditi za nekoliko mjeseci. Kroz rad će se definirati razni pojmovi poput monetarne politike Europske unije, Europska središnja banka, inflacija, njeni ekonomski učinci i vrste. Definiran je euro kao zajednička valuta svih članica eurozone, prednosti i nedostaci njegovog uvođenja. Naglasak u radu će se staviti na kretanje cijena u eurozoni u razdoblju od 2001. godine kao i na implikacije za kretanje cijena u Republici Hrvatskoj.The subject of this master thesis is price fluctuation in Euro area. By signing the contract to become a full member of the European Union in July 2013, Croatia accepted to adopt euro as its official currency, which will happen in a few months. The paper will explain various terms such as the monetary policy of the European Union, the European Central Bank, inflation, its economic effects, and types. The euro is the common currency of all Euro Area members, and we will explain the advantages and disadvantages of its introduction. Emphasis in the paper will be placed to the movement of prices in the Euro Area from 2001, as well as on the implications for the movement of prices in the Republic of Croatia

    Ribari znaju da je ključno sačuvati ulov kako bi potrošačima omogućili dobar kvalitetan proizvod. Nakon što se riba ulovi, potrebno ju je uskladištiti i hladiti. Za proces hlađenja potrebno je da ribarski brod ima opremu za hlađenje i oblik leda koji je najprikladniji za veličinu i vrstu ulovljene ribe. Sustavi hlađenja su različiti, a dizajniraju se i ugrađuju tako da odgovaraju dostupnom prostoru, a time se postiže i veća učinkovitost i smanjeni operativni troškovi. Kako su tema ovog rada upravo sustavi hlađenja na ribarskim brodovima, navedeno će biti detaljnije predstavljeno u nastavku rada.Fishermen know that it is crucial to preserve the catch in order to provide consumers with a good quality product. Once the fish is caught, it needs to be stored and refrigerated. The cooling process requires that the fishing vessel has the cooling equipment and ice shape that is most appropriate for the size and type of fish caught. Cooling systems are different, and are designed and installed to suit the available space, thus achieving greater efficiency and reduced operating costs. As the topic of this paper is cooling systems on fishing boats, this will be presented in more detail below

    Veljača 2022. godine ući će u povijesne knjige kao mjesec i godina kada je započeo ratni sukob u Ukrajini – karakteriziran kao najveći napad na europsko tlo još od Drugog svjetskog rata. Ubrzo nakon početka ratnih sukoba, na internetu su se počele pojavljivati prve viralne (popularne) snimke s ukrajinskog ratišta. Društvene mreže bile su prepravljene snimkama s bojišta koje su u javnost plasirali ukrajinski vojnici i građani, potresnih snimki i civilnog stradanja, bombardiranja i ratne svakodnevice. Takve su snimke velikom brzinom počele dobivati na popularnosti i time izazvale jedan sasvim nov fenomen; ruska invazija na Ukrajinu tako ubrzo dobiva naziv – prvi TikTok rat. Primarni cilj ovog rada je istražiti i usporediti propagandu vezanu za ratni sukob u Ukrajini na društvenoj mreži TikTok. Za istraživanje TikTok sadržaja korištena je metoda kvantitativne analize 300 najpopularnijih TikTok videa podijeljenih u tri kategorije. Unakrsnom usporedbom rezultata istraživanja daje se širi i detaljniji prikaz odnosa protagonista videa s raspoloženjem i tematikom video sadržaja, dok analiza propagandnog sadržaja na temelju dobivenih podataka donosi pregled korištenih tehnika i oblika propagande.February of 2022 will go down in the history books as the month and year when the war in Ukraine began - characterized as the largest attack on European soil since World War II. Shortly after the start of the war, the first viral (popular) videos from the Ukrainian battlefield began to appear on the Internet. Social networks were remade with videos from the battlefield that were released to the public by Ukrainian soldiers and citizens, of shocking videos and civilian suffering, bombings and the everyday life in war. Such recordings began to gain popularity at a high speed and thus caused a completely new phenomenon; the Russian invasion of Ukraine soon got the title - the first TikTok war. The primary goal of this paper is to compare propaganda related to the war conflict in Ukraine on the social network TikTok. The quantitative analysis method of the 300 most popular TikTok videos divided into three categories was used to compare TikTok content. A cross-comparison of the research results provides a broader and more detailed view of the relationship between the protagonist of the video and the mood and theme of the video content, while the analysis of the propaganda content based on the obtained data provides an overview of the techniques and forms of used propaganda

    Predizborna kampanja je komunikacijski proces u kojem političke stranke i kandidati odašilju poruke građanima kako bi ih uvjerili da izađu na izbore i daju im svoj glas. Političke stranke pritom imaju na raspolaganju širok spektar najrazličitijih komunikacijskih sredstava i metoda. No bez obzira na razvoj tehnologije i medija te dostupnost najrazličitijih oblika oglašavanja, interpersonalni komunikacijski kanal je u predizbornim kampanjama i dalje ostao važan, posebno kad su u pitanju lokalni izbori. Međutim, pandemija koronavirusa je uzrokovala značajne poremećaje, ne samo gospodarske, nego i društvene. Samim time i političkim strankama je bilo otežano predstavljanje kandidata i programa u predizborno vrijeme. U radu se istražuje u kojoj su se mjeri hrvatske političke stranke u predizbornim kampanjama za vrijeme pandemije koronavirusa mogle osloniti na donacije fizičkih i pravnih osoba u usporedbi s predizbornim kampanjama za lokalne izbore održanim četiri godine ranije. Osim toga, istražuje se u kojoj su mjeri hrvatske političke stranke u predizbornim kampanjama za vrijeme pandemije koronavirusa ulagale u oglašavanje u usporedbi s kampanjama za lokalne izbore održanim četiri godine ranije. Provedenim istraživanjem utvrđeno je da su političke stranke u Hrvatskoj za vrijeme pandemije mogle manje osloniti na donacije te da su većoj mjeri ulagale u oglašavanje.An election campaign is a communication process in which political parties and candidates send messages to citizens to persuade them to go to the polls and vote for them. At the same time, political parties have at their disposal a wide range of various means and methods of communication. However, regardless of the development of technology and the media itself, as well as ever-expanding availability of various forms of advertising, the interpersonal communication channel has remained an important tool in election campaigns, especially when it comes to local elections. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions, not only economically, but also socially. Consequently, it became more challenging for political parties to present their candidates and programs during the pre-election period. This paper investigates the extent to which Croatian political parties could have relied upon donations from individuals and companies in election campaigns during COVID-19 pandemic, compared to campaigns for local elections held four years earlier. In addition, it investigates the extent to which Croatian political parties had used advertising in election campaigns during COVID-19 pandemic, compared to campaigns for local elections held four years earlier. Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that political parties in Croatia experienced a decrease in both share and absolute amount of donations during pandemic, but simultaneously have had an increase in cost of advertising, both in share and absolute amount

    Turizam je jedna od primarnih gospodarskih grana u Republici Hrvatskoj, a što svakako pokazuje i činjenica da je Republika Hrvatska jedna od rijetkih država EU koja se nalazi na listi država koje su izuzetno ovisne o ostvarenju prihoda od turizma. U praksi je moguće uočiti kako je u Republici Hrvatskoj još uvijek zastupljen masovni turizam, sa izuzetnom sezonalnošću. Riječ je o kupališnom turizmu koji je cikličnog karaktera te ujedno podložan i brojnim eksternim utjecajima kao što su uvjeti neizvjesnosti. Veliki udio turizma u BDP-u Republike Hrvatske negativno se odrazio na cjelokupno gospodarstvo u razdoblju djelovanja pandemije COVID-19. Odnosno, negativan utjecaj pandemije imao je multiplikativno djelovanje na cjelokupno gospodarstvo RH. Iako je na globalnoj razini izuzetna zastupljenost privatnog smještaja uz visoki intenzitet korištenja online platformi posljedice i učinke ovakvog tipa turizma treba uzeti u obzir na strateškoj razini. Masovni turizam kakav se danas ističe u RH može imati negativne posljedice na okoliš, društvo te u konačnici i na gospodarstvo, zbog čega bi bilo poželjno razvijati turizam u smjeru održivog razvoja, a čemu svakako mogu doprinijeti suvremeni trendovi u turizmu te selektivni oblici turizma koji se sve više razvijaju. Partnerstva i povezanost poslovnih subjekata jedan su od mogućih modaliteta za stjecanje konkurentnosti na turističkom tržištu. Pritom je potrebno naglasiti kako je pandemija COVID- 19 imala značajno izražen negativan utjecaj na turizam na globalnoj razini te u Republici Hrvatskoj. Uvjeti neizvjesnosti imaju vrlo izražen negativan utjecaj na turoperatore te na hotelska poduzeća te je moguće uočiti kako su brojni turoperatori tijekom 2020. te 2021. godine zbog posljedica djelovanja pandemije stagnirali s poslovanjem, a isto se odnosilo i na hotelski sektor. Potrebno je istaknuti kako u konačnici uvjeti neizvjesnosti imaju izraženiji utjecaj na manje turoperatore te na manja hotelska poduzeća i na njihov poslovni odnos, dok kada je riječ o većim turoperatorima te hotelskim poduzećima, isti zbog svoje poslovne snage iznalaze rješenja za prevladavanje poslovne krize.Tourism is one of the primary economic branches in the Republic of Croatia, which is certainly shown by the fact that the Republic of Croatia is one of the few EU countries on the list of countries that are extremely dependent on tourism revenues. In practice, it is possible to see that mass tourism is still present in the Republic of Croatia, with exceptional seasonality. It is a bathing tourism that is cyclical in nature and at the same time subject to numerous external influences such as conditions of uncertainty. The large share of tourism in the GDP of the Republic of Croatia had a negative impact on the entire economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. That is, the negative impact of the pandemic had a multiplier effect on the entire economy of the Republic of Croatia. Although on a global level there is an exceptional presence of private accommodation with a high intensity of using online platforms, the consequences and effects of this type of tourism should be taken into account at the strategic level. Mass tourism as it stands out today in the Republic of Croatia can have negative consequences for the environment, society and ultimately on the economy, which is why it would be desirable to develop tourism in the direction of sustainable development, which can certainly contribute to modern trends in tourism they are developing more and more. Partnerships and connections of business entities are one of the possible modalities for gaining competitiveness in the tourism market. It should be emphasized that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on tourism at the global level and in the Republic of Croatia. Uncertainty conditions have a very negative impact on tour operators and hotel companies, and many of tour operators stagnated with business during 2020 and 2021 due to the effects of the pandemic, and the same applied to the hotel sector. It should be noted that ultimately the conditions of uncertainty have a more pronounced impact on smaller tour operators and smaller hotel companies and their business relationship, while when it comes to larger tour operators and hotel companies, they find solutions to overcome the business crisis

    Utjecaj ICT-a (Informacijsko komunikacijske tehnologije) u zadnjem desetljeću je prepoznat kao jedan od najznačajnijih izazova u hotelijerstvu i ugostiteljstvu. Gledano sa strane turizma općenito, ICT su nužne sastavnice poslovanja. Informacijska tehnologija je danas na svakom koraku i kada joj se pridruži komunikacijska tehnologija, mogućnost njezine primjene u turizmu u obliku globalnog fenomena je beskrajna. Ukoliko se implementiraju ispravne informacijsko komunikacijske tehnologije, svaki hotel može realizirati vidljive organizacijske rezultate. Pojedinci, zahvaljujući ICT-u imaju pristup informacijama o turističkim proizvodima u samo nekoliko klikova u bilo koje vrijeme i na bilo kojem mjestu. Neophodno je poznavati potrebe turista kako bi se pružila kvalitetna usluga, a samim tim i iskustvo budući da je turizam je jedna od najbrže rastućih grana.The impact of ICT (Information Communication Technology) in the last decade has been recognized as one of the most significant challenges in the hotel and catering industry. From the point of view of tourism in general, ICT are necessary components of business. Today, information technology is everywhere and when it is joined by communication technology, the possibility of its application in tourism in the form of a global phenomenon is endless. If the correct information and communication technologies are implemented, every hotel can realize visible organizational results. Individuals, thanks to ICT, have access to information about tourism products in just a few clicks at any time and in any place. It is necessary to know the needs of tourists in order to provide a quality service, and therefore an experience, since tourism is one of the fastest growing branches

    Kontejnerizacija je promijenila svijet u kojem živimo i omogućila globalizaciju kakvu poznamo. Izum kontejnera značajno je olakšao prijevoz raznih vrsta roba, i omogućio ogroman napredak u tehnologiji prometa. Međutim, pored svih svojih prednosti, prijevoz kontejnera morem ima i svoje nedostatke, poput emisija štetnih plinova iz brodskih motora i prekrcajnih sredstava na lučkim terminalima, koji onečišćuju okoliš i negativno utječu na zdravlje ljudi. Stoga je potrebno prijevoz kontejnera morem učiniti održivijim. U radu su prikazane neke od metoda kojima se tehnologija prijevoza kontejnera morem pokušava učiniti održivijom kao što su smanjenje potrošnje energije poput plovidbe smanjenom brzinom ili optimizacija plovidbene rute, te korištenje alternativnih izvora energije za pogon kontejnerskih brodova poput ukapljenog prirodnog plina, kao i mjere koje se poduzimaju na kontejnerskim terminalima. Automatizacija i digitalizacija transportnog procesa, uz korištenje pametnih kontejnera, budućnost su i predstavljaju put prema održivoj i sigurnoj tehnologiji prijevoza kontejnera morem.Containerization has changed our world and enabled globalization as we know it. The invention of the container significantly facilitated the transportation of various types of goods and enabled enormous progress in transport technology. However, in addition to all its advantages, shipping containers by sea also has disadvantages, such as emissions of harmful gases from ship engines and cargo handling equipment at port terminals, which pollute the environment and negatively affect people's health. Therefore, it is necessary to make the transport of containers by sea more sustainable. The paper presents some of the methods by which the technology of transporting containers by sea is tried to be made more sustainable, such as reducing energy consumption like slow steaming or route optimization and the use of alternative energy sources for the propulsion of container ships such as liquefied natural gas, as well as measures that undertake at container terminals. Automation and digitization of the transport process, along with the use of smart containers, are the future and represent the path towards a sustainable and safe technology for transporting containers by sea

    Cilj ovog završnog rada je istražiti i predstaviti ponudu autohtonih jela u dubrovačkim restoranima, kao i proniknuti u samu povijest domaće kuhinje, te uvidjeti razloge postojanja ili nepostojanja takvog oblika očuvanja tradicije. Dubrovnik je na prostorno maloj površini tijekom svoje duge povijesti, postao grad bogate kulture i velikog gospodarskog značaja. Tokom povijesti, zahvaljujući razvijenoj trgovini s drugim zemljama, kao i pomorskom prometu, u Grad su pristizale brojne namirnice, biljke i mirodije koje su se udomaćile u Dubrovačkoj kuhinji. S vremenom, domaća je kuhinja postala spoj raznih kulturoloških i povijesnih izvora, uvijek prihvaćajući nova jela, koja su bila prilagođena sezoni, vremenu i ekonomskim prilikama. U svojoj osnovi ta su jela jednostavna, međutim, za nas vrlo značajna jer nam služe kao svojevrstan vodič kroz kulturološku povijest ovog kraja. U autohtonom kulinarstvu možemo iščitati dio identiteta ljudi, vjerske i etničke vrijednosti. Gastronomski turizam, kao poseban oblik turizma, bilježi značajnu stopu rasta. Osnovni razlog tome je kvaliteta i raznovrsnost današnjeg prehrambenog tržišta, posebnost svakog kulturološkog dijela pojedine države, kao i promijenjene potrebe današnjih turista, koji sve više teže potpunom doživljaju destinacije. U modernim vremenima sklonima zaboravu tradicijskih vrijednosti, važno je ne zaboraviti lokalne specifičnosti i dio identiteta svakog stanovnika. Daljnjim razvojem ovakvog oblika turizma, obogatila bi se sama turistička ponuda Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije, smanjio problem sezonalnosti, pravilno disperzirala turistička kretanja, te potpomognuo razvitak održivog turizma. Kako same predispozicije nisu garancija postizanja cilja, bitno je za naglasiti kako nužna suradnja vertikalne i horizontalne razine, te potpora svih oblika upravljanja, predstavljaju jednako važne preduvjete bez kojih samo bogatstvo ovog podneblja ne može dovesti do očuvanja tradicije, te daljnjeg turističkog napretka.The point of this paper is to investigate and prezent the offer of the authentic meals in Dubrovnik's restaurants, as well as fathom into the history of local cuisine itself and to come up with the resons of existence or nonexistence of such form of preserving the tradition. Dubrovnik is on a spatially small area, during its long history , became a culturally rich city with a big economic importance. During the history, thanks to the depeloped trade with other countries, as well as maritime traffic, numerous foodstuffs, plants and spices were arriving in the city, which have became domesticated in local cuisine. Over time, local cuisine became a fusion of various cultural and historical sources, always accepting new dishes, which were adapted to the season, weather and economic circumstances. In their essence, these dishes are simple, however very significant for us because they serve as a kind of guide through the cultural history of this region. We can read a part of people's identity, religious and ethnic values in autochthonous cooking. Gastronomic tourism, as a special type of tourism, marks a remarkable growing rate. The main reason for this is the quality and diversity of today's food market, the uniqueness of each cultural part of an individual country, as well as the changed needs of today's tourists, who increasingly strive for a completele experience of the destination. In modern times prone to forgetting traditional values, it's important not to forget local specificities and part of the identity of each resident. Further development of this form of tourism would enrich the touristic offer of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, reduce the problem of seasonality, properly disperse tourist movements, and support the development of sustainable tourism. Since the predispositions alone are not a guarantee of achieving the goal, it is important to emphasize that the necessary cooperation at the vertical and horizontal level and the support of all forms of management, represent equally important preconditions without which the richness of this climate alone cannot lead to the preservation of tradition and further tourism progress
