No full textNapretkom financijskog sustava kreirane su digitalne valute pod nazivom kriptovalute.
Blockchain tehnologija uz pomoć kriptografije svojim vlasnicima pruža visoku razinu
sigurnosti, anonimnosti i mogućnosti zaobilaženja financijskih posrednika. Ubrzani
porast zainteresiranih za ulaganje u kriptovalute nameće sa sobom pitanje sigurnosti
metoda pomoću kojih se pohranjuju.
Ovaj diplomski rad obrađuje temu metoda pohrane kriptovaluta. U teorijskom dijelu
razrađena je tema kriptovaluta, različitih vrsta i metoda stjecanja. U nastavku je
utvrđeno da su kao metoda pohrane kreirani kripto novčanici koji se dijele na: web,
mobilne, desktop, hardverske i papirnate novčanike. S ciljem utvrđivanja nedostataka
kripto novčanika istraženi su aktualni hakerski napadi. U istraživačkom dijelu
provedena je anketa nad korisnicima kriptovaluta s ciljem utvrđivanja najsigurnije
metode pohrane kriptovaluta. Izvršena je analiza dobivenih odgovora s ciljem
donošenja zaključaka i preporuka za poboljšanje postojećih metoda pohrane. Na
temelju ostvarenih rezultata zaključeno je da se web novčanici smatraju
najsigurnijima.With the progress of the financial system, digital currencies called cryptocurrencies
were created. Blockchain technology alongside cryptography provides its owners with
a high level of security, anonymity and the ability to bypass financial intermediaries.
The rapid increase in people interested in investing in cryptocurrencies brings with it
the question of the security of the methods by which they are stored.
This thesis deals with the topic of cryptocurrency storage methods. In the theoretical
part the topic of cryptocurrencies, different types and methods of acquisition is
elaborated. In the following, it was determined that crypto wallets were created as a
storage method and are divided into: web, mobile, desktop, hardware and paper
wallets. In order to determine the shortcomings of crypto wallets, current hacker
attacks were investigated. In the research part, a survey on cryptocurrency users was
conducted with the aim of determining the safest method of storing cryptocurrencies.
An analysis of the received responses was carried out with the aim of drawing
conclusions and recommendations for improving existing storage methods. Based on
the results, it was concluded that web wallets are considered the most secure.

Comparative analysis of business of two competitors in the banking sector with reference to the coronacrisis
No full textPandemija je u svijetu pogodila gotovo sve sektore u većoj ili manjoj mjeri. Koronakriza je imala određen negativan utjecaj i na bankarski sektor, a koji posebnu ulogu ima u gospodarskom oporavku pa se sam utjecaj krize na taj sektor pokazao pogodnim za razmatranje. Problem istraživanja diplomskog rada bio je utjecaj koronakrize poslovanje i financijsku uspješnost dvije hrvatske banke. S druge strane, predmet istraživanja bila je analiza poslovanja dvije hrvatske konkurentske banke posljedne tri godine kako bi se utvrdio utjecaj koronakrize na njih. Pri tome, za temelj same analize su uzeti njihovi financijski izvještaji iz kojih su izvedeni financijski i sintetski pokazatelji poslovanja dviju banaka; Zagrebačke banke d.d. i Privredne banke Zagreb d.d.. Navedeno je tvorilo temelj za razumijevanja utjecaja krize na bankarski sektor u Republici Hrvatskoj. Uzevši navedeno u obzir rad je najprije ukazao na veliku efikasnost hrvatskog bankarskog sektora u vrijeme prije krize, kada je 20 banaka u Republici Hrvatskoj zapošljavalo više od 20.000 ljudi. Promatranjem dviju banaka, pokazalo se da su obje banke poslovale efikasno u svim promatranim godinama, no njihova se likvidnost smanjivala. Također, pokazalo se da je statička zaduženost obje banke imala vrlo blagu tendenciju pada u promatranom razdoblju, a pokazatelj ukupne rentabilnosti dionice smanjio se u obje banke u 2020. godini radu smanjenja dobiti po dionici, odnosno ukupne neto dobiti. Naposljetku, pokazalo se kako je u slučaju obje banke dolazilo do povećanja aktive, odnosno pasive u promatranom razdoblju, a u obje banke se zamijetio snažan pad dobiti u 2020. godini.The pandemic in the world has affected almost all sectors to a greater or lesser extent. The corona crisis had a certain negative impact on the banking sector, which has a special role in the economic recovery, so the impact of the crisis on this sector proved to be suitable for consideration. The problem of the research of the diploma thesis was the impact of the corona crisis on the business and financial success of two Croatian banks. On the other hand, the subject of the research was the analysis of the operations of two Croatian competing banks in the last three years in order to determine the impact of the corona crisis on them. In doing so, the analysis itself was based on their financial statements, from which the financial and synthetic performance indicators of the two banks were derived; Zagrebačke banka d.d. and Privredna banka Zagreb d.d. This was the basis for understanding the impact of the crisis on the banking sector in the Republic of Croatia. Taking this into account, the paper first pointed out the high efficiency of the Croatian banking sector in the pre-crisis period, when 20 banks in the Republic of Croatia employed more than 20,000 people. Observations of the two banks showed that both banks operated efficiently in all the observed years, but their liquidity decreased. Also, it turned out that the static indebtedness of both banks had a very slight downward trend in the observed period, and the indicator of total return on equity decreased in both banks in 2020 due to reduced earnings per share, ie total net profit. Finally, it turned out that in the case of both banks there was an increase in assets and liabilities in the observed period, and in both banks there was a sharp decline in profits in 2020
A research of media habits and behaviors of the Y and Z generations
No full textPredmet rada su medijske navike i ponašanja generacije Y i Z. Danas, korištenjem informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije, medijske navike mladih su se značajno promijenile jer većina mladih sve više koristi internet. Postavlja se pitanje kakva je uloga medija, način sudjelovanja i utjecaj na pojedince općenito. Ciljevi rada su istražiti medijske navike mladih ljudi, odnosno, istražiti platforme na kojima su generacije Y i Z prisutne i informiraju se, medijski sadržaj koji prate te kako percipiraju medije i medijske sadržaje. Tijekom veljače 2022. godine proveden je online anketni upitnik na prigodnom uzorku od 102 ispitanika Y i Z generacija. Pitanja iz anketnog upitnika, uz sociodemografska pitanja (spol, dob), odnosila su se na korištenje elektroničkih medija te na navike i preferencije određenih sadržaja. Rezultati istraživanja učestalosti korištenja elektroničkih medija pokazali su kako se većina ispitanika informira putem internetskih portala i prati aktualne događaje u svijetu. Nadalje, rezultati navika korištenja ispitanika, utvrdili su kako većina koristi mobitel te smatraju kako je Internet promijenio navike praćenja medijskih sadržaja, a uz to se koriste i obje vrste medija (suvremeni više od tradicionalnih) i ciljano idu na medije putem kojih se informiraju. Rezultati istraživanja preferencija korištenja medija pokazali su da većina mladih ne vjeruje medijima, smatraju senzacionalizam glavnim razlogom postizanja veće čitanosti i broja komentara te smatraju da imaju dovoljno znanja kako bi se od problematičnih medijskih sadržaja zaštitili (većinom ignoriranjem sadržaja). Podaci istraživanja pomoći će u svim komunikacijskim područjima, jer će pokazati način na koji se mladi informiraju, temeljem čega se mogu razvijati i strategije i taktike dolaska do mladih.The subject of this paper is media habits and behaviors of generations Y and Z. Nowadays, by using information and communication technologies, the media habits of young people have changed significantly due to majority of young people using the Internet. This raises the question of the role of the media, the way of participation and its influence on young people. The objectives of the paper are to explore young people's media habits, i.e., the platforms on which generations Y and Z are present and informed, the media content they follow and how they perceive the media and content. An online survey was conducted in February 2022, on a sample of 102 young people belonging to generations Y and Z. Questions from the questionnaire, in addition to socio-demographic questions (gender, age), also applied to the frequency of use of electronic media, as well as different habits and preferences for certain content in electronic media. Research results on the frequency of use of electronic media showed that most respondents are informed through Internet platforms and follow current events worldwide. The survey results on media usage habits showed that most respondents use mobile phones and think that the Internet has changed the habits of following media content. Also, it showed that they use both types of media but prefer modern kinds of media to traditional ones and that they visit only specific media outlets. The results of the survey on media preferences have shown that most young people don’t trust the media and think that sensationalism is the main reason for wider readership and comments. In addition, they consider themselves knowledgeable enough to protect themselves from problematic media content, mostly by ignoring it. Research data will help in all areas of communication as it will show how young people are informed, thus leading to developing strategies and tactics for reaching young people
Utjecaj generacijskih karakteristika na poslovnu komunikaciju iz perspektive upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima
No full textSvako razdoblje ima svoja obilježja te ona utječu na život ljudi. Nekada su to sretni događaji poput nekog izuma, dok su nekada i tužni događaji poput ratova. Sve to oblikuje život ljudi na poseban način pa tako i samu komunikaciju. Utjecaj raznih događaja doveo je i do razvoja generacija i njihovih karakteristika.
Ovaj diplomski rad za svoju svrhu imao je prikazati utjecaj generacijskih karakteristika na poslovnu komunikaciju iz perspektive upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima i ispitati mišljenje o samim obrascima komunikacije. Cilj diplomskog rada je prikaz karakteristika X, Y i Z generacije na odabranom uzorku; navedenom je svrha upozoriti na moguće generacijske razlike, a time i izazove unutar poslovne komunikacije. Također, zadatak ovog rada je prikazati promjenu komunikacijskih kanala u okviru poslovne komunikacije prema odabranim generacijama.
U radu su se koristile dvije tehnike istraživanja, a to su dubinski intervjui i anketa. Cilj navedenog istraživanja je potaknuti ljude na razmišljanje, razumijevanje i prihvaćanje razlika među ljudima te težiti zajedničkom poboljšanju komunikacije radi napretka samog sebe, ali i društva. Dubinskom intervjuu pristupila su četiri zaposlenika na menadžerskim pozicijama u odjelima za ljudske resurse. Pokazalo se kako je većina ispitanika suglasna s činjenicom u postojanju razlika između generacija i da to utječe na obavljanje samog posla. Anketnom istraživanju pristupila su 154 ispitanika koji su potvrdili postojanje generacijskog jaza. Također, kroz anketu su potvrdili i općenite karakteristike i obrasce komunikacije i ponašanja unutar neke organizacije.Each period has its own characteristics that affect people's lives. Sometimes they are happy events like an invention, while sometimes they are sad events like wars. All this shapes people's lives in a special way, including communication itself. The influence of various events also led to the development of the generation and their characteristics.
The purpose of this graduate thesis was to show the influence of generational characteristics on business communication from the perspective of human resources management and to examine the opinion about the communication patterns themselves. The aim of the thesis is to present the characteristics of the X, Y and Z generations on a selected sample; the purpose of the above is to point out possible generational differences, and thus challenges within business communication. Also, the task of this thesis is to show the change of communication channels within the framework of business communications according to the selected generations.
Two research techniques were used in this thesis, namely in-depth interviews and a survey. The aim of the research is to encourage people to think, understand and accept those who are different from themselves, and to jointly improve communication for the sake of the progress of themselves and society. The in-depth interview was attended by four employees in managerial positions in human resources departments. It was shown that most respondents agree with the time that there are differences between generations and that they affect the performance of the work itself. The survey was attended by 154 respondents who confirmed the existence of a generation gap. Also, through the survey, they confirmed the general characteristics and patterns of communication and behavior within an organization
The Northern Ireland conflict through the lens of visual art
No full textCilj ovoga završnog rada je postići novu dimenziju shvaćanja važnosti vizualne umjetnosti unutar Sjevernoirskoga sukoba. Povijesni je kontekst sukoba nužan kao kronološka odrednica, odnosno kao signal njegova intenziteta te dugotrajnosti, a za te su potrebe primarni izvori dostupna stručna literatura i prigodno izvještavanje medija u širem vremenskom rasponu. Za potrebe je pak prikaza prigodno izabrano deset murala koje će se nastojati smjestiti u primjereni vremenski, prostorni te politički kontekst, čime se nadamo postići precizniji prikaz tijeka sukoba te njegovih posljedica na teritorij Sjeverne Irske. Posljednja stavka rada uspostavlja odnos stanovnika prema muralima, za što su izvori murali sami, dostupna svjedočanstva o njima te, kao sekundarni izvor, primjerena literatura.The main goal of this paper is to try and achieve a better light on the understanding of the role visual arts has played in the Northern Ireland conflict. The historical context of the conflict is necessary as a chronological determinant of everything and as proof of the intensity and duration of the conflict, for the purposes of this part of the paper the primary source is available literature on the subject and media coverage in different time spans. Furthermore, the representation of the contents on the walls, ie the mural, will show the course of the conflict as well as its consequences for the territory of Northern Ireland. For the purposes of the representation, ten examples of murals have been singled out that will be analyzed in detail and attempted to be placed at the time of the action. The last part of the paper is to determine the importance of murals for the inhabitants for whose purpose the primary source will be murals as well as available testimonies, and the literature will serve as a secondary source
Interview Analysis from two different perspectives - the candidate and the interwiever
No full textIntervju je sastavni dio selekcijskog postupka, a nerijetko i jedina metoda odabira budućih
zaposlenika. Njegova učinkovitost ovisi ne samo o procjenjivačkim kompetencijama intervjuera
i samoprezentacijskim vještinama kandidata, već i o brojnim situacijskim faktorima. U ovom
diplomskom radu taj se proces analizira iz dvije perspektive – intervjuera i kandidata. U tu svrhu
intervjuirano je petero voditelja ljudskih potencijala te anketirano 100 ispitanika koji su sudjelovali
u intervjuu za posao. Anketa ispituje s kakvim vrstama intervjua se kandidati najčešće susreću,
kako se za njega pripremaju, koliko proces intervjuiranja nalaze stresnim, s kojim se tipičnim
pogreškama u procjenjivanju ljudi susreću te koliko se smatraju kompetentnima u tom procesu.
Rezultati pokazuju da se većina kandidata priprema za poslovni intervju. Ispitanici smatraju da je
njihovo dosadašnje znanje i iskustvo dovoljno za kvalitetno sudjelovanje u intervjuu za posao.
Rezultati intervjua s menadžerima za ljudske potencijale djelomično potvrđuju pretpostavku da
oni rade određene greške za vrijeme intervjua, no nevoljko to priznaju.Job interview is the basic part of the job selection process and, in some cases, the only method of
choosing new employees. Interview efficiency depends on interviewer's knowledge and skills,
candidate's presentation skills and other factors. In this diploma thesis the job interview process is
analyzed from two different perspectives - interviewer's and candidate's. For research purposes
Resource Managers were interviewed, and 100 participants who previously went through job
interviews were given an online survey to fill out. The survey includes questions such asing: what
kind of interviews the candidates usually come accross, how they prepare for the job interview,
how stressful the whole process is for them, what are the typicall mistakes in character judgmenet
they most often come accross and what types of mistakes they have encountered. The second
segments reveals that HR Managers do indeed tend to make mistakes during the job interview
process, but they rarely admit that
