Advice for new entrepreneurs - from hobby to business venture : Master's Thesis
No full textOvaj diplomski rad bavi se problematikom pretvaranja hobističkih aktivnosti u održive
poslovne pothvate, s naglaskom na ulogu savjetodavne podrške u procesu pokretanja
poslovnog pothvata. Kroz teorijsku analizu pojmova vezanih uz poduzetništvo, mala i srednja
poduzeća te motivacijske i strukturalne barijere poduzetnika početnika, rad prikazuje
kompleksnost poduzetničkog procesa. Posebna pažnja posvećena je ulozi konzultanata u
prevladanju izazova s kojima se suočavaju poduzetnici, kao i institucionalnim i tržišnim
oblicima savjetodavne podrške. Empirijski dio rada temelji se na praktičnom primjeru
transformacije hobija u poslovni pothvat, pri čemu se analiziraju ključni čimbenici tržišne
validacije i izazovi u realizaciji poslovne ideje. Rezultati istraživanja, provedenog primjenom
strukturiranog konzultantskog upitnika, potvrđuju važnost sustavnog pristupa, savjetovanja i
prilagodbe poduzetničkih vještina za uspješnu tranziciju iz hobističkog djelovanja u formalno
poslovanje.This thesis addresses the issue of transforming hobby-based activities into sustainable business
ventures, with a particular focus on the role of advisory support in the process of business
creation. Through a theoretical analysis of concepts related to entrepreneurship, small and
medium-sized enterprises, and the motivational and structural barriers faced by novice
entrepreneurs, the thesis illustrates the complexity of the entrepreneurial process. Special
attention is given to the role of consultants in overcoming the challenges entrepreneurs face, as
well as to institutional and market-based forms of advisory support. The empirical part of the
thesis is based on a practical case study of transforming a hobby into a business venture, in
which key factors of market validation and the challenges of implementing a business idea are
analyzed. The findings, derived through the application of a structured consulting
questionnaire, confirm the importance of a systematic approach, advisory support, and the
development of entrepreneurial skills for a successful transition from hobby activity to formal
business operation
Architectural - urban design of Retfala - south business zone
No full textTema završnog rada je urbanističko i arhitektonsko rješenje poslovne zone Retfala - jug koja se nalazi u jugozapadnom dijelu grada Osijeka. Urbanističko se rješenje poslovne zone sastoji od ukupno pet volumena zgrada, od kojih tri lamele i dva tornja te uzdignutog platoa s kojega se navedenim volumenima zgrada pristupa. Urbanistička se ideja nadovezala na planirano stambeno naselje na istoku s kojim poslovno-rekreativni kompleks komunicira zamišljenom šetnicom koja linijski prodire u naš obuhvat te ideje povišenog platoa ispod kojeg se smjestio kolni pristup i promet u mirovanju naglašavajući šetnicu više od parkinga. Idejno arhitektonsko rješenje bavi se projektom jednog od tornjeva smještenih na sjevernom predjelu urbanističkog obuhvata. Ideja koja stoji iza zgrade apstrahirano je utjelovljenje Babilonske kule a njen karakter nastavlja se na početne ideje urbanističkog rješenja podjele, odnosno segregacije (parking pješak / sjena - osunčanje / poželjna vizura - nepoželjna vizura). Na isti način projektantskim se odlukama unutar tlocrta jasno podijelio prostor, u vertikalnom smislu interijera svaki je odjel doslovce odijeljen, a u eksterijeru se visinom i stepenasto zgrada razdvaja na konstrukciju, servise i arhitekturu, služeće i služene te reprezentativne i manje reprezentativne vizure. Zgrada na satiričan način prikazuje sistem u kojem, iako inzistiramo na hijerarhiji i podjeli, bez zajedništva i međusobne potpore ne možemo. Iz tog razloga sve su instalacijske cijevi kao i jezgra s praznom okvirnom armiranobetonskom konstrukcijom otkrivene i potpuno vidljive u eksterijeru na sjevernom pročelju, nadoknađujući čistoću volumena vidljivu s juga. Zgrada svojim kapacitetima prednjači u funkcionalnom i fleksibilnom okviru, a svojom pojavnošću bez srama posreduje u komuniciranju grada Osijeka na van. Dodani inovativni prostori kao i kapacitetom i kvadratima prošireni postojeći odjeli pokušava se skrenuti pažnja na važnost zadanih odjela i njihove funkcije u gradu i šire.The topic of the final thesis is the urban and architectural solution of the Retfala South business zone, located in the southwestern part of the city of Osijek. The urban solution of the business zone consists of a total of five building volumes, three of which are slats and two towers, and an elevated plateau from which the aforementioned building volumes are accessed. The urban idea is linked to the planned residential area to the east, with which the business and recreational complex communicates by an imagined promenade that linearly penetrates our scope, and the idea of an elevated plateau under which vehicular access and stationary traffic are located, emphasizing the promenade more than the parking lot. The conceptual architectural solution deals with the project of one of the towers located in the northern part of the urban scope. The idea behind the building is an abstracted embodiment of the Tower of Babel, and its character continues the initial ideas of the urban solution of division, or segregation (parking - pedestrian / shadow - sun exposure / desirable view - undesirable view). In the same way, the design decisions within the floor plan clearly divided the space, in the vertical sense of the interior each department is literally separated, and in the exterior the building is separated by height and in steps i nto the structure, services and architecture, service and served, and representative and less representative views. The building satirically depicts a system in which, although we insist on hierarchy and division, we cannot do without unity and mutual support. For this reason, all installation pipes as well as the core with an empty frame reinforced concrete structure are exposed and fully visible in the exterior on the northern facade, compensating for the purity of the volume visible from the south. The building stands out with its capacities in a functional and flexible framework, and with its appearance it shamelessly mediates in the communication of the city of Osijek to the outside. The addition of innovative spaces as well as the capacity and square footage of the existing departments are trying to draw attention to the importance of the given departments and their functions in the city and beyond
Speech-language symptomatology in patients with a peripheral cause of vertigo
No full textCILJEVI ISTRAŽIVANJA: Utvrditi učestalost i obilježja govorno-jezičnih simptoma kod
osoba s perifernom vestibularnom disfunkcijom te ispitati povezanost vestibularnih nalaza s
različitim aspektima jezičnog funkcioniranja, uključujući ekspresivne i receptivne jezične
sposobnosti. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na analizu odnosa između vestibularnih parametara
i teškoća u usmenom izražavanju, pisanju i razumijevanju govor.
NACRT STUDIJE: Presječno istraživanje temeljeno na povijesnim podacima.
ISPITANICI I METODE: Analizirani su podaci 95 punoljetnih bolesnika oba spola
obrađenih na Zavodu za audiologiju i fonijatriju KBC-a Osijek između 2021. i 2023. godine.
Svi su prošli standardiziranu audiovestibulološku obradu te logopedsku procjenu govornojezičnih sposobnosti.
REZULTATI: Kao najizraženiji simptom izdvajaju se teškoće u usmenom izražavanju
(93 %). Disfunkcija spontanog govora i teškoće razumijevanja jezika zabilježene su kod 13 %
ispitanika, dok su problemi s pisanjem i čitanjem bili prisutni u 15 % odnosno 7 % slučajeva.
Statistički su značajne povezanosti utvrđene između disfunkcije spontanog govora i niskih
vrijednosti cVEMP-a, kao i između teškoća u pisanju i povišene vestibularne nesumjerenosti.
Ispitanici s oštećenjem funkcije horizontalnih polukružnih kanala češće su imali teškoće u
usmenom izražavanju.
ZAKLJUČAK: Govorno-jezični simptomi česta su i relevantna klinička komponenta kod
bolesnika s perifernim vestibularnim oštećenjem. Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za proširenom
dijagnostičkom evaluacijom koja uključuje i jezične funkcije.OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency and characteristics of speech and language
symptoms in individuals with peripheral vestibular dysfunction, and to examine the
relationship between vestibular findings and various aspects of language functioning, including
expressive and receptive language abilities. Special emphasis was placed on analyzing the
association between vestibular parameters and difficulties in verbal expression, writing, and
speech comprehension.
STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study based on historical data.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Data from 95 adult patients of both sexes, evaluated at
the Department of Audiology and Phoniatrics at the University Hospital Centre Osijek between
2021 and 2023, were analyzed. All participants underwent standardized audiovestibular
assessment and speech-language evaluation.
RESULTS: The most prominent symptom was difficulty with verbal expression, present in
93% of participants. Impaired spontaneous speech and language comprehension difficulties
were observed in 13% of cases, while problems with writing occurred in 15% and with reading
in 7% of participants. A notable association was found between impaired spontaneous speech
and reduced cVEMP responses, as well as between writing difficulties and elevated vestibular
asymmetry. Participants with dysfunction of the horizontal semicircular canals were more
likely to experience problems with verbal expression.
CONCLUSION: Speech and language symptoms are a common and clinically relevant
component in patients with peripheral vestibular impairment. The findings suggest the
importance of expanded diagnostic evaluation that includes language function assessment
Attitudes and knowledge of women employed in jobs with special working conditions regarding breast self-examination in Osijek-Baranja County
No full textCilj istraživanja: Ciljevi istraživanja bili su ispitati stavove, razinu znanja, navike i povezanost razine znanja i stavova žena zaposlenih na poslovima s posebnim uvjetima rada o samopregledu dojke s obzirom na dob i područje rada.
Nacrt studije: Presječna studija.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 215 žena zaposlenih na poslovima s posebnim uvjetima rada u Osječko-baranjskoj županiji. Istraživanje provedeno metodom papir-olovka. Korišteni anketni upitnik osmišljen je od strane autora te se sastojao od dva dijela: općih sociodemografskih podataka i specifičnih podataka. Statistička obrada podataka provedena je programima Microsoft Excel i JASP (verzija 0.19.3). Primijenjene su metode deskriptivne statistike, Kruskal–Wallis H2 test (χ², P < 0,05) i Spearmanov koeficijent rang-korelacije (ρ).
Rezultati: Većina ispitanica zna da se samopregled dojke treba provoditi jedanput mjesečno, no znanje o vremenu i tehnici izvođenja nije ujednačeno. Statistički značajne razlike u razini znanja zabilježene su među dobnim skupinama (P = 0,02) i područjima rada (P = 0,03), gdje najmlađe žene i one iz umjetničkih i biotehničkih područja imaju višu razinu znanja. Žene starijih dobnih skupina pokazuju bolje navike (P < 0,001), dok razlike među područjima rada nisu značajne. Stavovi ispitanica prema samopregledu uglavnom su pozitivni, bez statistički značajnih razlika među dobnim skupinama i područjima rada. Značajna negativna povezanost znanja i stavova utvrđena je samo u tehničkim znanostima (P = 0,04).
Zaključak: Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu edukacije žena zaposlenih na poslovima s posebnim uvjetima rada o važnosti i pravilnoj izvedbi samopregleda dojke, osobito u starijim dobnim skupinama.Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes, level of knowledge, habits, and the correlation between knowledge and attitudes of women employed in jobs with special working conditions considering breast self-examination, taking into account their age and field of work.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants and Methods: The study included 215 women employed in occupations with special working conditions in Osijek-Baranja County. The research was conducted using the paper-and-pencil method. The questionnaire, designed by the author, consisted of two parts: general sociodemographic data and specific information. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and JASP software (version 0.19.3). Descriptive statistics, the Kruskal–Wallis H2 test (χ², P < 0.05), and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (ρ) were applied.
Results: Most participants knew that breast self-examination should be performed monthly, but knowledge regarding the correct timing and technique was inconsistent. Statistically significant differences in knowledge levels were observed between age groups (P = 0.02) and fields of work (P = 0.03), with the youngest women and those from artistic and biotechnical fields showing higher levels of knowledge. Older women had more established self-examination habits (P < 0.001), while no significant differences were found across field of work. Attitudes toward self-examination were generally positive, with no statistically significant differences across age groups or fields. A significant negative correlation between knowledge and attitudes was found only in the technical sciences group (P = 0.04).
Conclusion: The results indicate the need for further education of women employed in occupations with special working conditions on the importance and proper performance of breast self-examination, especially among older age groups
Analysis and Application of International Standards and Frameworks in IT Management : Graduate paper
No full textInformacijska tehnologija (IT) važan je dio današnjeg života i poslovanja. Ne postoji dio gdje
nije uključeno korištenje čime svijet postaje svjesno ili nesvjesno ovisan. Današnjicu je
nemoguće zamisliti bez upotrebe informacijskih tehnologija iz razloga što je značajno olakšalo
upravljanje i vođenje informacija, sustava, poslovanja i dr. Pravilnim korištenjem dolazi se do
povećanja produktivnosti, operativne učinkovitosti te donošenjem dobrih poslovnih odluka.
Iako korištenje informacijskih tehnologija pozitivno utječu na poslovanje naglasak se mora dati
osiguranju informacija i sustava kako ne bi došlo do loših rezultata. Kako bi se izbjeglo loše
korištenje informacijskih tehnologija važno je držati se međunarodnih standarda i okvira.
Međunarodna organizacija za standardizaciju (ISO) kao nevladina međunarodna organizacija
okuplja stručnjake preko kojih nudi razmjenu znanja te razvoj standarda koji pružaju rješenja.
Putem svojih standarda nudi proizvodima i uslugama sigurnosti, pouzdanost i dobru kvalitetu.
U ovom radu naglasak se daje Sustavu upravljanja kvalitetom – ISO 9001, Sustavu upravljanja
informacijskom sigurnosti – ISO 27001, Sustavu upravljanja IT uslugama – ISO 20000 i
Sustavu korporativnog upravljanja informacijskim tehnologijama – ISO 38500. Putem
kvalitetnih sustava i dobro stečenim znanjem organizacije mogu uspješno obavljati svoje
funkcije.Information technology (IT) is an important part of today's life and business. There is no area
where the use of IT is not involved, making the world consciously or unconsciously dependent
on it. It is impossible to imagine the present without the use of information technologies because
it has significantly facilitated the management and handling of information, systems, business,
etc. Proper use leads to increased productivity, operational efficiency, and making good
business decisions. Although the use of information technologies has a positive impact on
business, emphasis must be placed on ensuring information and systems to avoid poor results.
To prevent misuse of information technologies, it is important to adhere to international
standards and frameworks. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as a
nongovernmental international organization, brings together experts to exchange knowledge and
develop standards that provide solutions. Through its standards, it offers products and services
with security, reliability, and good quality. This work emphasizes the Quality Management
System - ISO 9001, Information Security Management System - ISO 27001, IT Service
Management System - ISO 20000, and Corporate Governance of IT - ISO 38500. Through
quality systems and well-acquired knowledge, organizations can successfully perform their
functions
Human Resource Management as an element of organizational structure : Final paper
No full textUpravljanje ljudskim potencijalima predstavlja ključnu funkciju unutar organizacije, jer se
bavi svim aspektima vezanim uz radnu snagu – od zapošljavanja, obuke i razvoja zaposlenika,
do motivacije, zadovoljstva i upravljanja učincima. Pravilno upravljanje važno je jer
usmjerava ljudske potencijale ka ostvarenju poslovnih ciljeva organizacije. Upravljanje
ljudskim potencijalima osigurava da organizacija ima potrebne kvalifikacije i broj zaposlenika
za učinkovito obavljanje svojih zadataka. Također, ljudskim potencijalima je fokus na razvoju
organizacijske kulture, poticanje timskog rada, te upravljanje promjenama unutar
organizacije. Efikasno upravljanje ljudskim potencijalima doprinosi povećanju
produktivnosti, smanjenju fluktuacije zaposlenika, jačanju motivacije i zadovoljstva
zaposlenika, čime se osigurava dugoročna konkurentska prednost organizacije na tržištu.
Ljudi su najvrjedniji resurs svake organizacije, stoga menadžment treba u organizaciju privući
one najkvalitetnije koji će stvarati konkurentsku prednost. Prolazeći kroz kompleksne procese
privlače, odabiru, educiraju i zadržavaju samo najbolje. Zaduženi su za konstantnu motivaciju
zaposlenih i održavanje radne uspješnosti. Prate i ocjenjuju rad, te sukladno tome nagrađuju i
kažnjavaju zaposlene. Kako bi poslovanje teklo uspješno potrebno je obostrano zadovoljstvo,
pa je tako važno promicati otvorenost, komunikaciju, pristupačnost i suradnju. Uz sve
navedeno zagarantirano je uspješno poslovanje organizacije u kojem važnu ulogu ima
upravljanje ljudskim potencijalima.Human resource management represents a key function within the organization, as it deals
with all aspects related to the workforce – from recruitment, training, and development of
employees, to motivation, satisfaction, and performance management. Human resource
management is focused on optimizing human potential in order to achieve the business
objectives of the organization. Through strategic planning and the implementation of policies
and procedures, human resource management ensures that the organization has the necessary
qualifications and the right number of employees to effectively carry out its tasks.
Additionally, human resources focus on developing corporate culture, promoting teamwork,
and managing changes within the organization. Effective human resource management
contributes to increased productivity, reduced employee turnover, enhanced motivation and
job satisfaction, thereby ensuring the long-term competitive advantage of the organization in
the market. People are the most valuable resource in any organization, so management must
attract the best talent to create a competitive edge. They go through complex processes to
attract, select, train, and retain only the best employees. They are responsible for continuously
motivating employees and maintaining work performance. They monitor and evaluate
performance, rewarding or punishing employees accordingly. For business to run smoothly,
mutual satisfaction is essential, so it is important to promote openness, communication,
approachability, and collaboration. With all of the above, successful business operations are
guaranteed, with human resource management playing a crucial role
Assessment of manganese in biological samples of the inhabitants of Eastern Croatia
No full textEsencijalni element u tragovima, mangan, ključan je za brojne biološke procese, uključuju i metabolizam, antioksidativnu obranu te funkciju vitalnih sustava. Iako je neophodan za zdravlje, pretjerana izloženost manganu povezuje se s pojavom neurodegenerativnih poremećaja poput manganizma te Parkinsonove i Alzheimerove bolesti. Referentne vrijednosti koncentracije mangana korisne su istraživa ima jer odstupanja ispod ili iznad navedenih granica mogu ukazivati na nedostatak ili prekomjerni unos ovog elementa. Zbog nedostatka podataka o razinama mangana u organizmu stanovnika Republike Hrvatske, otežana je procjena zdravstvenih rizika. U tu svrhu, analizirali smo koncentracije mangana u biološkim uzorcima (serum, kosa, urin) 50 ispitanika iz osam naselja isto ne Hrvatske (Vladislavci, Dalj, Čepin, Našice, Osijek, Vukovar, Slavonski Brod i Vinkovci). Mjerenja su provedena metodom masene spektrometrije s induktivno spregnutom plazmom (ICP-MS). Usporedbom referentnih vrijednosti s rezultatima biomonitoringa (serum: 0,28-4,13 g/L; kosa: 0,05-4,87 g/g; urin: 0,08-3,63 g/L) nisu utvrđena značajna odstupanja u koncentracijama mangana među stanovnicima analiziranih područja.Manganese is an essential trace element crucial for numerous biological processes, including metabolism, antioxidant defense, and the function of vital systems. Although necessary for health, excessive exposure to manganese has been associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as manganism, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Reference values for manganese concentrations are useful for researchers, as deviations below or above the specified limits may indicate a deficiency or excessive intake. Due to a lack of data on manganese levels in the population of the Republic of Croatia, assessing health risks is challenging. To address this, we analyzed manganese concentrations in biological samples
(serum, hair, and urine) from 505 subjects across eight settlements in eastern Croatia (Vladislavci, Dalj, Čepin, Našice, Osijek, Vukovar, Slavonski Brod, and Vinkovci). Measurements were performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). When comparing reference values with biomonitoring results (serum: 0.28-4,13 μg/L; hair: 0.05-4.87 μg/g; urine: 0.08-3.63 μg/L), no significant deviations in manganese concentrations were observed among residents of the analyzed areas
Correlatin of statin therapy with body composition and inflammation in postmenopausal women
No full textCilj istraživanja: Ciljevi istraživanja bili su ispitati utjecaj statina na upalu i tjelesnu
kompoziciju postmenopauzalnih žena uz ispitivanje povezanosti s obzirom na dob, vrijednosti
lipida te vrstu statina.
Nacrt studije: Istraživanje je ustrojeno kao prospektivna studija.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanje su bile uključene osobe ženskoga spola u dobi od 45 do 70
koje su pacijentice u ambulantama Doma zdravlja Osječko-baranjske županije. Prikupljeni su
potrebni anamnestički podaci, a ispitanicama su se iz krvi analizirale vrijednosti upalnih
parametara i lipidnoga profila. Bioimpendancijskom vagom analizirala se tjelesna
kompozicija, a doza statina se određivala temeljem kardiovaskularnoga rizika pomoću
SCORE2 i SCORE2-OP tablice.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 67 žena koje su bile podijeljene u dvije skupine ovisne
o vrsti korištenoga statina. Od žena koje su postigle ciljne vrijednosti, njih 20 (57 %) primalo
je atorvastatin. Statistički značajna razlika završnoga mjerenja u odnosu na početno mjerenje
zabilježena je u tjelesnoj masi (P = 0,001, Wilcoxonov test), % masnoga tkiva (P = 0,008,
Wilcoxonov test), ITM-u (P = 0,02, Wilcoxonov test) i OB-u (P = 0,001, Wilcoxonov test).
Utvrđena je pozitivna povezanost triglicerida i WHR-a (Rho = 0,508), dobi i količine
visceralnoga masnoga tkiva (Rho = 0,334) te negativna povezanost ukupnoga kolesterola i
NLR-a (Rho = 0,360).
Zaključak: Uočena je statistički značajna razlika za utjecaj statina na tjelesnu kompoziciju, ali
klinički se radi o vrlo malim razlikama. Nije dokazan utjecaj na RDW ni NLR.Title: Correlation of statin therapy with body composition and inflammation in
postmenopausal women
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of statin therapy on inflammation
and body composition in postmenopausal women, as well as to examine associations based on
age, lipid levels, and statin type.
Study Design: This was a prospective study.
Participants and Methods: The study included female participants aged 45 to 70 who were
patients in primary care clinics of the Osijek-Baranja County Health Center. Relevant
anamnestic data were collected, and blood samples were analyzed for inflammatory markers
and lipid profiles. Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis,
while the statin dose was determined based on cardiovascular risk using the SCORE2 and
SCORE2-OP table.
Results: The study included 67 women, divided into two groups based on the type of statin
used. Among those who achieved target lipid levels, 20 women (57%) received atorvastatin. A
statistically significant difference between the final and initial measurements was observed in
body weight (P = 0.001, Wilcoxon test), body fat percentage (P = 0.008), BMI (P = 0.02), and
hip circumference (P = 0.001). Positive correlations were found between triglycerides and
WHR (Rho = 0.508), age and visceral fat (Rho = 0.334), while a negative correlation was found
between total cholesterol and NLR (Rho = -0.360).
Conclusion: Although a statistically significant difference was found regarding the effect of
statins on body composition, the changes were minimal and not clinically relevant. No effect
was demonstrated on RDW or NLR

No full textCilj istraživanja: cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati kako komunikacijske vještine medicinskih sestara/tehničara utječu na percepciju kvalitete zdravstvene skrbi među stanovnicima Osječko-baranjske županije.
Nacrt istraživanja: Istraživanje je provedeno kao presječna studija.
Ispitanici i metode: Za ispitivanje je korišten anonimni upitnik, koji je kreiran od strane provoditelja istraživanja. Upitnik se sastoji od četrnaest pitanja, od kojih se četiri odnose na sociodemografske podatke, jedno pitanje na utvrđivanje uključnog čimbenika, pet pitanja na komunikacijske vještine medicinskih sestara/tehničara, a preostala četiri pitanja na kvalitetu dobivene skrbi. Istraživanju su pristupili ispitanici koji su dobrovoljno pristali ispuniti anketni upitnik. Istraživanje je provedeno od ožujka do svibnja 2025. godine.
Rezultati: Istraživanje je pokazalo različite stavove prema odnosu komunikacije od strane medicinskog osoblja i kvalitete zdravstvene skrbi, koji su pokazali značajnu razliku ovisno o stupnju obrazovanja i dobi, a neznačajnu ovisno o spolu pacijenata. Većina pacijenata pokazalo je zadovoljstvo spremnošću medicinskog osoblja da odgovori na pitanja, te smatraju da je odnos između medicinskog osoblja i pacijenata bitan za kvalitetu zdravstvene skrbi, a pacijenti koji su bili subjektivno zadovoljniji verbalnom i neverbalnom komunikacijom od strane medicinskog osoblja, također su bili zadovoljniji kvalitetom zdravstvene skrbi.
Zaključak: percepcija komunikacije s medicinskim sestrama i tehničarima ima značajan utjecaj na ukopno zadovoljstvo kvalitetom pružene zdravstvene skrbi.Objectives: Aim of this study is to determine how communication skills of nursing practitioners affect the pcercepted quality of healthcare among the pouplation of Osijek-Baranja county.
Study design: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study.
Participants and Methods: For the purposes of the study, an annonymous questionnaire is used, created by the conductor of this study. The questionnaire consists of 14 questions, among which 4 are related to sociodemographic informations, 1 to determing the including factor, 5 to communications skills of nursing practitioners, and the remaining 4 questions to the quality of given healthcare. The study was approached by the participants who voluntarily agreed to fill the questionnaire. The study was conducted from March to May 2025.
Results: This study has shown different attitudes towards the corelation between the nursing staff communication skills and the quality of healthcare, which differed significantly depending on age and educational degree, and insignificantly depending on gender. Most patients have shown satisfaction with readiness of nursing staff to answer their questions, and declare that the relationship between nursing staff and patients is important for the quality of healthcare. Also, patients that were subjectively more satisfied with cerbal and non-verbal communication from the nursing staff, were also more satisfied with the quality of healthcare.
Conclusion: The perception of communication with nursing staff greatly affects the overall satisfation with the quality of healthcare
Invasive alien phytoplankton of the Danube basin
No full textInvazivni fitoplankton moţe značajno utjecati na bioraznolikost mijenjajući odnose izmeĎu
vrsta kao i na pomicanje ekološke ravnoteţe. Invazivne fitoplanktonske vrste mogu
proizvoditi toksine koji su štetni za ostali fitoplankton, zooplankton, razne vodene organizme
i ljude. Dunav kao druga najveća rijeka Europe i dio kanala Rajna-Majna-Dunav vaţan je za
riječni promet te samim time predstavlja koridor širenja invazivnih vrsta čime ugroţava
autohtone vrste, zbog nepaţnje ili čak namjernog unošenja invazivnih vrsta. U ovom su radu
obraĎene najznačajnije invazivne ili potencijalno invazivne vrste dunavskog bazena i to:
Cuspidothrix issatschenkoi, Raphidiopsis raciborskii, Dolichospermum compactum,
Gloetrichia echinulata, Rahidiopsis mediterranea, Monactinus simplex, Skeletonema
potamos, Actinocyclus normanii.Invasive phytoplankton species can significantly affect the biodiversity changing species
relationships and shifting of ecological balance. Invasive phytoplankton species can produce
toxins which are harmful to other phytoplankton, zooplankton, different aquatic organisms

endangering native species due to intentional or advisedly importing invasive species. In this
paper, the most important invasive or potentially invasive species of the Danube basin are
described: Cuspidothrix issatschenkoi, Raphidiopsis raciborskii, Dolichospermum
