Coastal zone management and principles of good practice
No full textPomorska politika je dio državne politike pomoću koje vlada rukovodi pomorstvom i pomorskim djelatnostima kako bi se more iskoristilo i očuvalo kao prometni put i resurs. Integrirana pomorska politika teži uskladiti ciljeve različitih djelatnosti kako bi oni bili kompatibilni. Obalno područje je zona u kojem se susreću kopno i more te obuhvaća dio kopna i obalnih voda. Obalna područja imaju veliki značaj jer obiluju dragocjenim prirodnim resursima. Upravljanje obalnim područjem integralna je sastavnica prostornog planiranja. Koncept integralnog upravljanja obalnim područjem (IUOP) predstavlja ostvarivanje koncepta održivog razvoja. IUOP teži očuvati i obnoviti prirodne resurse, zaštititi bioraznolikost ekosustava, ostvariti održiv gospodarski razvoj, uzima u obzir interese svih dionika, smanjuje troškove i reducira rizike. IUOP se odvija u fazama, a najčešći instrumenti koje koristi su policy analiza (PA), geografsko-informacijski sustav (GIS), teledetekcija, tehnike vrednovanja i procjene te regulatorna i ekonomska sredstva provedbe. Prilikom planiranja i provođenja projekata IUOP-a treba se pridržavati načela dobre prakse.Maritime policy is a part of state policy by which the government manages shipping and maritime activities in order to use and preserve the sea as a transport route and resource. An integrated maritime policy aims to harmonize the objectives of different activities so that they are compatible. The coastal zone is the zone where land and sea meet and includes part of the land and coastal waters. Coastal zones are of great importance because they are rich in precious natural resources. Coastal zone management is an integral component of spatial planning. The concept of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) represents the realization of the concept of sustainable development. ICZM strives to preserve and restore natural resources, protect ecosystem biodiversity, achieve sustainable economic development, takes into account the interests of all stakeholders, reduces costs and risks. ICZM takes place in phases, and the most common instruments used are policy analysis (PA), Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing, evaluation and assessment techniques, and regulatory and economic means of implementation. When planning and implementing ICZM projects, the principles of good practice should be adhered to

What is Preventing the Wider Use of Digital Currencies?
No full textThe aim of this paper is to broaden the discussion on the main barriers to the use of digital currencies. The main problem of the research conducted arises from the fact that trust in digital currencies is highly dependent on public opinion, legal regulations and understanding of the technical aspects. Although they offer significant advantages such as transparency, traceability and low transaction costs, the markets for cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and therefore too risky for broad social acceptance. In this paper, topological data analysis (TDA) is used to investigate multiple currencies. TDA is primarily used to gain more insight into market activity, volatility and the connection between coins or tokens, as well as information about the market itself. Given the growing interest in cryptocurrencies and investing in recent years, the paper addresses the need for informed decision making in an evolving market. Vulnerabilities in exchanges, private wallets and trading wallets are examined and analyzed

Rudder and rudder function : influence on the maneuvering properties of the ship
No full textKormilo je osnovni alat za kontrolu smjera broda, omogućujući promjenu kursa i
vraćanje na željeni kurs ako do promjene dođe radi utjecaja vanjskih čimbenika. Učinkovitost
kormila ovisi o brzini broda, veličini i dizajnu kormila, te specifičnim karakteristikama broda.
Veće kormilo pruža veću silu i bolje manevriranje u ograničenim prostorima, dok oblik i kut
otklona kormila utječu na stvaranje razlike tlakova i ukupnu silu kormila.
Brza i precizna reakcija kormilom ključna je u hitnim situacijama i ograničenim
akvatorijima kako bi se izbjegao sudar. Efikasno upravljanje brodom također zahtijeva
razumijevanje interakcije kormila s drugim komponentama broda. Ispravan dizajn kormila i
vještine posade osiguravaju sigurnost i uspješno manevriranje brodom.The rudder is the basic tool for controlling the direction of the ship, allowing to change the course and return to the desired course if the change occurs due to the influence of external factors. The effectiveness of the rudder depends on the speed of the ship, the size and design of the rudder, and the specific characteristics of the ship. A larger rudder provides greater force and better maneuverability in confined spaces, while the shape and deflection angle of the rudder affect the creation of a pressure difference and the overall force of the rudder. A quick and precise rudder reaction is essential in emergency situations and limited waters to avoid collisions. Effective ship management also requires an understanding of how the rudder interacts with other ship components. The correct design of the rudder and the skills of the crew ensure the safety and successful maneuvering of the ship

Selection of transportation mode on intermodal traffic corridors
No full textPrometna politika Europske unije zalaže se za preusmjeravanje robnih tokova s cestovnog na unutarnji plovni promet i željeznički promet. Razvoj unutarnje plovidbe i povezivanje različitih transportnih modova utjecat će na bolje uključivanje prometnog sustava Republike Hrvatske u Transeuropsku prometnu mrežu (engl. Trans-European Transport Network, TEN-T). Očekivani porast prometa roba u luci Rijeka i prognozirano povećanje tranzita prema širem europskom okruženju ukazuju na potrebu optimiranja ruta s aspekta izbora optimalnog transportnog modaliteta u odnosu na troškove transporta i negativni utjecaj na okoliš. Sukladno navedenom, u ovom se istraživanju analiziraju osnovne zakonitosti i čimbenici formiranja tranzitnih robnih tokova Republike Hrvatske prema prostorima Istočne Europe unutar Transeuropske prometne mreže te mogućnosti preusmjeravanja intermodalnih robnih tokova s cestovnih na željezničke koridore i koridore unutarnjih plovnih putova. Osnovna svrha istraživanja je formiranje modela izbora transportnog moda najpovoljnijih karakteristika u raspodjeli robnih tokova na intermodalnim koridorima. S ciljem ostvarenja navedene svrhe istraživanja definirani je osnovni cilj istraživanja koji se odnosi na izradu modela izbora transportnog moda najpovoljnijih karakteristika korištenjem metode neizrazite logike. Model je primijenjen na intermodalnim prometnim koridorima, na Mediteranskom koridoru i koridoru Osnovne mreže u željezničkom prometu i unutarnjoj plovidbi, uvažavajući relevantne zakonitosti i kriterije formiranja robnih tokova na intermodalnim koridorima (kriterij infrastrukture, kriterij transportnih sredstava, kriterij svojstva robe, kriterij negativnog utjecaja na okoliš i ekonomsko-organizacijski kriterij). Uvažavajući relevantne kriterije i varijable koji objedinjuju veliki broj utjecajnih parametara, primjenom neizrazite logike za kvantifikaciju ekspertnog znanja, utvrđena je vrijednost indeksa izbora transportnog moda, kompozicija modela, odabir varijabli energetske učinkovitosti, zagađenja okoliša, transporta robe u povratnom smjeru te varijabli fleksibilnosti poslovne politike ili stupnja sklonosti određenom vidu transporta koje dosad nisu bile korištene. Jedinstven model izbora transportnog moda formiran je u odnosu na željeznički promet i promet unutarnjim plovnim putovima. Izrađen model izbora transportnog moda najpovoljnijih karakteristika na intermodalnim koridorima manifestira znanstveni teorijski i aplikativni doprinos istraživanja, budući je model primjenjiv na bilo koji intermodalni prometni pravac za potrebe prometnog odlučivanja pri planiranju i izboru najpovoljnijeg transportnog moda uvažavajući aktualne kriterije i konstelaciju na tržištu robnih tokova.The traffic policy of the European Union advocates for the redirection of the flow of goods from road traffic to inland waterways and rail traffic. The development of inland navigation and the connection of different modes of transport will influence the further inclusion of the traffic system of the Republic of Croatia in the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The expected rise in the flow of goods at the port of Rijeka and the forecasted increase in transit towards the wider European circles highlight the need for optimization of routes in the aspect of transport mode seelction according to the costs of transport and the negative environmental impact. With all this in mind, this thesis analyzes the basic rules and factors that form the transit flow of goods from the Republic of Croatia towards East Europe within the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and the possibility of redirecting intermodal goods flows from road to rail corridors and inland waterway corridor. The aim of the thesis is the development of a transport mode selection model with optimal characteristics according to the distribution of the flow of goods through the intermodal corridors. In order to achieve the stated research purposes, the main objective of the research is to create a transport mode selection model with the most favorable characteristics by using fuzzy logic. The model is applied to international traffic corridors, the Mediterranean Corridor, and the Core Network Corridor in railway traffic and inland navigation by accepting the relevant rules and criteria for forming the flow of cargo through the intermodal corridors (criteria of infrastructure, criteria of transporting resources, criteria of property characteristics, criteria of negative environmental impact and criteria of economics and organization). By taking into account the relevant criteria and variables, which unite a larger number of influential parameters, with the application of fuzzy logic to quantify expert knowledge, the value of the index of transport mode selection, the composition of the model, the selection of variables of energy efficiency, environmental pollution, transport of cargo in the return direction, and the variable of flexible business policy, or the degree of attachment to certain transport modes that have not been used before. A universal model of the mode selection model for transport has been formed in relation to railway and inland navigation waterways. The developed transport mode selection model on intermodal corridors manifests the scientifically-theoretical and applied contribution of the research since the model is applicable to any intermodal transport direction for the needs of traffic decision-making when planning and choosing the most favorable transport mode while taking into account the current criteria and constellation on the market of cargo flows
