Quality of life of people with inflammatory bowel diseases
No full textCilj rada: Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati kvalitetu života osoba oboljelih od upalnih bolesti crijeva koji su ujedno članovi udruge ColonOS iz Osijeka. Specifični cilj je usporediti kvalitetu života osoba oboljelih od upalnih bolesti crijeva koji su na biološkoj terapiji te onih koji su na medikamentoznoj terapiji.
Nacrt studije: Studija je ustrojena kao presječno istraživanje.
Ispitanici i metode: Ispitanici su bile osobe koje boluju od IBD-a, a članovi su udruge ColonOs iz Osijeka. U ispitivanju je sudjelovalo 52 ispitanika. Ispitivanje je provedeno putem anketnog upitnika, preko Google Formsa. Ispitanici su dobili usmenu obavijest i zamoljeni za ispunjavanje upitnika. Metoda za ovo istraživanje je upitnik IBD-Control. Za upotrebu korištenja ovog upitnika dobivena je dozvola od autora. Istraživanje je provedeno u veljači 2025. godine.
Rezultati: Od Crohnove bolesti boluje 32 (62 %) ispitanika, a od ulceroznog kolitisa boluje 20 (38%) ispitanika. Biološkom terapijom liječi se 39 (75 %) ispitanika, dok se medikamentoznom terapijom liječi 13 (25 %) ispitanika. Vidljivo je kako je za više od polovine ispitanika IBD dobro kontroliran te je liječenje uspješno i pod kontrolom. S obzirom na medicinsku dijagnozu nema značajne razlike u kvaliteti života.
Zaključak: Dobiven zaključak ovog istraživanja je zadovoljavajuća kvaliteta života osoba oboljelih od upalnih bolesti crijeva. Nema značajne razlike u kvaliteti života osoba na biološkoj terapiji i osoba na medikamentoznoj terapiji, pri čemu bolesnici koji su na biološkoj terapiji pokazuju neznatno kvalitetniji život.Objectives: The aim this research is to examine the quality of life of individuals suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are also members of the ColonOs association in Osijek. A specific objective is to compare the quality of life between individuals with IBD undergoing biological therapy and those receiving conventional, medication-based therapy.
Study Design: The study is designed as a cross-sectional survey.
Participans and Methods: The participants were individuals diagnosed with IBD and members of the ColonOs association from Osijek. A total of 52 participants took part in the study. The research was conducted using a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. Participants were verbally informed and asked to complete the questionnaire. The method used was the IBD- Control questionnaire. Permission to use this questionnaire was obtained from the author. The research was conducted in February 2025.
Results: A total of 32 (62 %) participants suffer from Crohn's disease, while 20 (38 %) have ulcerative colitis. Biological therapy is used by 39 (75 %) participants, while 13 (25 %) are treated with medication-based therapy. It is evident that for more than half of the participants, IBD is wellcontrolled and treatment is successful. Regarding medical diagnosis, there is no significant difference in the quality of life.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that individuals with IBD generally report a satisfactory quality of life. There is no significant difference in quality of life between those undergoing biological therapy and those on conventional therapy, although patients on biological therapy show a slightly higher quality of life
Presence of anxiety in patients preparing for endoscopic examinations
No full textCilj: Ispitati razinu anksioznosti kod pacijenata koji se pripremaju za endoskopske pretrage te usporediti rezultate s obzirom na spol, dob i vrstu endoskopske pretrage.
Ustroj studije: Presječna studija.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju su sudjelovali pacijenti upućeni na endoskopske pretrage, koji su ispunjavali anonimni anketni upitnik sastavljen od GAD-7 ljestvice za procjenu anksioznosti i sociodemografskih pitanja.
Rezultati: Nisu utvrđene statistički značajne razlike s obzirom na dob i vrstu pretrage, dok je pronađena jasna povezanost između spola i razine anksioznosti, time je potvrđena potreba za individualiziranim pristupom u pripremi pacijenata, osobito kod skupina sklonijih izraženijoj emocionalnoj reaktivnosti. Rezultati ovog istraživanja mogu poslužiti kao temelj za daljnje proučavanje psihološke pripreme i intervencija usmjerenih na smanjenje anksioznosti u medicinskoj praksi.
Zaključak: Endoskopske pretrage, iako ključne u dijagnostici brojnih bolesti, često izazivaju anksioznost kod pacijenata zbog svoje invazivne prirode i neizvjesnosti ishoda. Psihološka priprema pacijenata pritom ima važnu ulogu u smanjenju straha i poboljšanju suradnje tijekom zahvata. Ovo istraživanje pokazalo je da većina pacijenata doživljava blagu do umjerenu anksioznost, s višim razinama anksioznosti kod žena, dok dob i vrsta pretrage ne pokazuju značajan utjecaj. Rezultati upućuju na važnost individualizirane pripreme svakog pacijenta.Objective: To assess the level of anxiety in patients preparing for endoscopic procedures and to compare results based on gender, age, and type of procedure.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants and Methods: The study included patients referred for endoscopic procedures who completed an anonymous questionnaire consisting of the GAD-7 anxiety scale and a set of sociodemographic questions.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found in relation to age or type of procedure. However, a clear association between gender and anxiety levels was observed, highlighting the need for an individualized approach to patient preparation, particularly in groups prone to heightened emotional reactivity. These findings may serve as a foundation for further research on psychological preparation and targeted interventions aimed at reducing anxiety in clinical practice.
Conclusion: Although endoscopic procedures are essential for diagnosing numerous conditions, they often provoke anxiety due to their invasive nature and the uncertainty of outcomes. Psychological preparation plays a crucial role in reducing fear and improving patient cooperation during the procedure. The study showed that most patients experience mild to moderate levels of anxiety, with higher levels reported among women, while age and type of procedure did not show a significant impact. These results underscore the importance of individualized preparation for each patient

No full textCilj istraživanja: Ispitati percepciju studenata sestrinstva Sveučilišnog diplomskog studija sestrinstva Sveučilišta Josipa Jurja Strossmayera u Osijeku, dislocirani studij Sveta Nedelja o međuprofesionalnoj suradnji.
Nacrt studije: Istraživanje je provedeno kao presječno istraživanje s prigodnim uzorkom.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju su sudjelovali studenti prve i druge godine Sveučilišnog diplomskog studija sestrinstva Sveučilišta Josipa Jurja Strossmayera u Osijeku, dislocirani studij Sveta Nedelja. Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću anonimnog upitnika Skala međuprofesionalne suradnje (engl. Interprofessional Collaboration Scale - ICS) u vremenskom razdoblju od 25. siječnja do 10. ožujka 2025. godine. Za statističku obradu podataka korišten je statistički program IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0. za Windows, verzija 0.0.1., IBM, USA, Software Inc.; 2021.
Rezultati: U istraživanju o stavovima studenata sestrinstva o međuprofesionalnoj suradnji je sudjelovalo 102 ispitanika, od čega 87 % žena i 10 % muškaraca u dobi od 23 do 58 godina. U pogledu odgovora vezanih uz međuprofesionalnu suradnju, srednje vrijednosti ocjena kretale su se, ovisno o pitanju, od 2,7 do 4,2 od mogućih 5. Korištenjem Mann-Whitney i Kruskal-Wallis testova utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika za tvrdnju da su liječnici obično spremni uzeti u obzir praktičnost medicinskih sestara kada planiraju liječenje pacijenata s obzirom na spol i dob (P 51 godina, X=4,7) ocjenjuju spremnost liječnika da će uzeti u obzir praktičnost medicinskih sestara kada planiraju liječenje pacijenata značajno višom u odnosu na mlađe ispitanike (20-30 godina, X=2,8). Postoji statistički značajna razlika među dobnim skupinama (P=0,03) u percepciji spremnosti pridruženog zdravstvenog osoblja da uzme u obzir mišljenje medicinskih sestara.

Assessment as a Component of Curriculum Planning
No full textDiplomski rad analizira vaţnost ocjenjivanja kao neizostavnog dijela kurikulumskog planiranja nastavnog procesa. Kako je ocjenjivanje sastavnica vrednovanja, naglasak je stavljen na promišljanje formativne i sumativne uloge istog. . S obzirom na to da je u današnje vrijeme ocjenjivanje u školama jedna od aktualnijih tema koja sa sobom donosi brojne izazove u obrazovnom sustavu cilj je ovog istraţivanja dobiti uvid u percepciju i praksu nastavnika o primjerni formativnog i sumativnog vrednovanja učenika u nastavi te utvrditi koju vrstu vrednovanja češće koriste i na koji način primjenjuju formativno i sumativno vrednovanje u svakodnevnom radu. Današnji obrazovni sustav naglasak stavlja na razvoj kompetencija, kritičkog mišljenja i kreativnosti što zahtjeva fleksibilnije oblike vrednovanja nego što isključivo sumativno vrednovanje moţe pruţiti. To zahtijeva kompetentne nastavnike koji su pozvani koristiti raznovrsne metode vrednovanja kojima mogu pratiti i procjenjivati napredak svakog pojedinog učenika te sukladno tomu odrediti sumativnu ocjenu. Istraţivanje je provedeno prikupljanjem podataka polustrukturiranim intervjuima u kojima su sudjelovali nastavnici srednjih strukovnih škola i gimnazija. Tematskom analizom prikupljenih podataka utvrĎene su percepcije nastavnika o ključnim karakteristikama formativnog i sumativnog vrednovanja te prednosti i izazovi koje donose. Istraţivanje je pokazalo da nastavnici srednjih škola u svakodnevnom obrazovnom radu češće primjenjuju formativno vrednovanje u obliku povratnih informacija, kontinuiranog praćenja napretka i redovnih biljeţaka. Iako je formativno vrednovanje sveprisutno u obrazovnoj praksi i dalje se ističe sumativno vrednovanje kao ono ključno posebice kada je riječ o zaključivanju ocjena.The thesis analyzes the importance of assessment as an essential part of curriculum planning in education, with a particular focus on formative and summative assessment. Given that assessment in schools is currently one of the most prominent and debated topics, often bringing numerous challenges to the educational system, the aim of this research is to gain insight into teachers' perceptions and practices regarding the implementation of formative and summative assessment in the classroom. It also seeks to determine which type of assessment is more frequently used and how teachers apply formative and summative assessment in their daily work. In addition, today’s education system emphasizes the development of competencies, critical thinking, and creativity-elements that require a far more flexible approach to assessment than summative methods alone can provide. Therefore, the focus is placed on teachers, who are encouraged to use a variety of assessment strategies that allow them to monitor and evaluate the progress of each individual student and, based on that, determine the final grade. The research was conducted using a qualitative method of semistructured interviews with teachers from secondary vocational schools and grammar schools. Through thematic analysis of the collected data, key characteristics of both formative and summative assessment were identified, along with their respective benefits and challenges. The findings indicate that secondary school teachers more frequently use formative assessment in their daily educational practice, typically in the form of feedback, continuous progress monitoring, and regular observation records. Although formative assessment is becoming increasingly present in educational practice, summative assessment still holds a dominant position, particularly when it comes to assigning final grades
Branding of a service organization (EFOS) : Graduate paper
No full textTema ovog diplomskog rada je percepcija brenda Ekonomskog fakulteta u Osijeku (EFOS)
među studentima. Fakultet, kao dio Sveučilišta Josipa Jurja Strossmayera, od svog osnutka
1961. godine nastoji biti prepoznat po kvaliteti, inovativnosti i doprinosu razvoju regionalnog
i nacionalnog gospodarstva. S obzirom na sve veću konkurenciju u visokom obrazovanju,
brendiranje fakulteta postaje važan alat za privlačenje i zadržavanje studenata. Cilj rada je
ispitati kako studenti doživljavaju snagu EFOS-ovog brenda, koje dimenzije im se čine
najvažnijima, što ih je motiviralo za upis, te kako ocjenjuju vrijednost diplome na tržištu rada.
U teorijskom dijelu rada obrađuju se ključni pojmovi vezani uz brendiranje u visokom
obrazovanju, pri čemu se naglašava važnost studentske percepcije kao ključnog pokazatelja
snage brenda. Posebna pažnja posvećena je Aakerovom modelu brand equity-a, koji pomaže u
razumijevanju čimbenika koji čine snažan brend – poput lojalnosti, prepoznatljivosti, atributa
brenda i percipirane kvalitete.
Kroz kvantitativno istraživanje provedeno putem online anketnog upitnika među studentima
EFOS-a na uzorku od 224 ispitanika, prikupljeni su podaci o njihovim stavovima i iskustvima.
Rezultati pokazuju da EFOS uživa pozitivnu percepciju brenda među studentima. Najvažniji
razlozi za upis bili su ugled fakulteta, osobne preporuke i sadržaj studijskih programa. Nakon
upisa, većina studenata dodatno je pozitivno promijenila mišljenje o fakultetu. Promocijske
aktivnosti pokazale su ograničen utjecaj u usporedbi s osobnim iskustvima i osjećajem
zajedništva.
Rad potvrđuje da se snažan brend fakulteta gradi prvenstveno kroz kvalitetnu nastavu,
međuljudske odnose, podršku studentima i stalno prilagođavanje njihovim potrebama.
Zadovoljstvo studenata i njihova vjera u vrijednost diplome ključni su elementi za jačanje
brenda i dugoročnog uspjeha fakulteta. Rezultati ovog rada u skladu su s dosadašnjim
istraživanjima o brendiranju institucija visokog obrazovanja, percepciji studenata i važnosti
snage brenda u visokom obrazovanju.The topic of this thesis is the perception of the brand of the Faculty of Economics in Osijek
(EFOS) among students. As part of the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University, the Faculty has,
since its founding in 1961, strived to be recognized for its quality, innovation, and contribution
to the development of both the regional and national economy. Given the increasing
competition in higher education, branding has become an important tool for attracting and
retaining students. The aim of this paper is to examine how students perceive the strength of
the EFOS brand, which brand dimensions they find most important, what motivated them to
enroll, and how they evaluate the value of the diploma in the labor market.
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with key concepts related to branding in higher education,
with a particular emphasis on student perception as a crucial indicator of brand strength. Special
attention is given to Aaker’s brand equity model, which helps to understand the factors that
make a strong brand – such as loyalty, recognition, brand attributes and perceived quality.
Through quantitative research conducted via an online questionnaire among EFOS students,
based on a sample of 224 respondents, data were collected on their attitudes and experiences.
The results show that EFOS enjoys a positive brand perception among its students. The most
important reasons for enrollment were the faculty's reputation, personal recommendations, and
the content of study programs. After enrollment, most students reported a further positive shift
in their opinion of the Faculty. Promotional activities had a limited impact compared to personal
experiences and the sense of belonging.
The paper concludes that a strong faculty brand is primarily built through quality teaching,
interpersonal relationships, student support, and constant adaptation to student needs. Student
satisfaction and their belief in the value of the diploma are key elements in strengthening the
institution’s brand and ensuring its long-term success. The findings are in line with previous
research on higher education branding, student perception, and the importance of brand strength
in academia
Patellar Instability Treatment in Clinic for Orthopaedics and Traumatology University Hospital Center Osijek from 2014. to 2024
No full textCilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je analizirati učestalost rekurentnih luksacija patele
s obzirom na spol i dob ispitanika te utvrditi postoje li razlike u ishodima liječenja ovisno o
primijenjenom terapijskom pristupu – konzervativnom ili operativnom.
Nacrt studije: Presječna studija temeljena na retrospektivnoj analizi medicinske
dokumentacije.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanje su uključena 63 pacijenta s rekurentnom ili habitualnom
luksacijom patele, liječena na Klinici za ortopediju i traumatologiju KBC-a Osijek u razdoblju
od 2014. do 2024. godine. Prikupljeni su podaci o spolu, dobi, vrsti liječenja, reluksacijama,
korištenim graftovima te funkcionalnim ishodima. Statistička obrada provedena je Fisherovim
egzaktnim testom i Shapiro–Wilkovim testom.
Rezultati: Žene su bile češće zahvaćene (59 %) od muškaraca (41 %), s medijanom dobi od 22
godine. Konzervativno je liječeno 59 %, a operativno 41 % ispitanika. Nakon konzervativnog
liječenja reluksaciju je imalo 54 %, dok je nakon operativnog liječenja reluksacija zabilježena
u 7 % slučajeva. Potpuna ekstenzija i fleksija postignuta je kod 98 % ispitanika. Nije bilo
statistički značajnih razlika u ishodima liječenja s obzirom na spol ili terapijski pristup.
Zaključak: Iako su rezultati pokazali veću učestalost reluksacija nakon konzervativnog
liječenja, razlika u konačnim funkcionalnim ishodima nije bila statistički značajna. Operativni
pristup, osobito MPFL rekonstrukcija, pokazao se učinkovitijim u prevenciji reluksacija.Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of recurrent patellar dislocation
according to sex and age and to determine whether there are differences in treatment outcomes
depending on the applied therapeutic approach—conservative or surgical.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study based on retrospective medical record analysis.
Patients and Methods: A total of 63 patients with recurrent or habitual patellar dislocation
treated at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, University Hospital Center Osijek,
between 2014 and 2024 were included. Data on age, sex, type of treatment, recurrence after
treatment, graft type used in surgical reconstruction, and functional outcomes (range of motion)
were collected. Statistical analysis included Fisher’s exact test and Shapiro–Wilk test.
Results: Women were more frequently affected (59 %) than men (41 %), with a median age of
22 years. Conservative treatment was applied in 59 % of patients, while 41 % underwent
surgical intervention. Recurrence occurred in 54 % of conservatively treated patients and in 7
% of surgically treated patients. Full extension and flexion were achieved in 98 % of all cases.
There were no statistically significant differences in recurrence rates or functional outcomes
between the treatment groups or between sexes.
Conclusion: Although recurrence was more common following conservative treatment, the
difference in final functional outcomes between the two approaches was not statistically
significant. Surgical treatment, particularly MPFL reconstruction, demonstrated greater
effectiveness in preventing recurrence and maintaining knee function

Cilj je ovog rada bio istražiti kako se Pleternica pozicionira kroz proces destinacijskog brendiranja te identificirati ključne elemente koji čine njen identitet i diferencijaciju na turističkom tržištu. U teorijskom dijelu rada analizirani su osnovni pojmovi vezani uz brendiranje turističkih destinacija, s posebnim naglaskom na značaj kulturnog turizma i autentičnosti u oblikovanju imidža manjih gradova. Posebna pažnja posvećena je i primjerima uspješnog kulturno-turističkog brendiranja u inozemstvu kao referentnom okviru. Empirijski dio rada donosi detaljnu analizu kulturne i turističke ponude Pleternice, uključujući atrakcije, manifestacije te projekte poput Muzeja bećarca i Interpretacijskog centra Terra Panonica. SWOT analizom i usporedbom s primjerom grada Český Krumlov prepoznati su glavni izazovi i potencijali u razvoju brenda Pleternice. Uloga lokalne zajednice i dionika prepoznata je kao ključan čimbenik u održivom razvoju destinacije. Rad ukazuje na važnost strateškog i dugoročnog pristupa destinacijskom brendiranju te daje konkretne smjernice za daljnje jačanje vidljivosti i konkurentnosti Pleternice na regionalnoj i nacionalnoj razini.The town of Pleternica, located in the heart of Slavonia, holds a rich cultural heritage and tradition that serve as a strong foundation for developing a recognizable cultural-tourism destination.

Evaluation of Psychometric Properties of the Self and Interpersonal Functioning Scale (SIFS)
No full textCilj provedenog istraživanja bio je prevesti i adaptirati Skalu selfa i interpersonalnog funkcioniranja te ispitati njezina psihometrijska svojstva: faktorsku strukturu, pouzdanost subskala i ukupne skale te doprinos faktora self (identitet i samousmjeravanje) i interpersonalne domene (empatija i intimnost) u predviđanju dobrobiti, sreće, samopoštovanja, stila privrženosti i kvalitete odnosa. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 506 osoba u dobi od 18 do 65 godina. Konfirmatorna faktorska analiza pokazala je zadovoljavajuću razinu pristajanja modela opažanim podacima nakon korekcija rezidualnih kovarijanci, čime je potvrđena faktorska struktura od četiri faktora na prvoj razini (identitet, samousmjeravanje, empatija i intimnost) i jednog nadređenog faktora. Nadalje, subskale identiteta, intimnosti i ukupna skala pokazuju zadovoljavajuću pouzdanost s obzirom na graničnu vrijednost od .70, dok su subskale samousmjeravanja i empatije ispod te granice i smatraju se nepouzdanima. Usporedbom s nekliničkim uzorkom, pouzdanosti ukupne skale te subskala identiteta i intimnosti su usporedive s hrvatskom verzijom. Provjera prediktivne valjanosti pokazala je doprinos faktora identiteta u predikciji dobrobiti, sreće i samopoštovanja. Samousmjeravanje i empatija nisu bili značajni prediktori, dok se intimnost pokazala uspješnim prediktorom sigurnog, bojažljivog i odbijajućeg stila privrženosti te kvalitete svih ispitivanih odnosa. S obzirom na dobivene nalaze potrebne su daljnje analize kojima bi se dodatno ispitala psihometrijska svojstva SIFS-a.The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the Self and Interpersonal Functioning Scale (SIFS) and to assess its psychometric properties, including factor structure, reliability of the subscales and total scale, and the role of self factors (identity and self-direction) and interpersonal domains (empathy and intimacy) in predicting well-being, happiness, self-esteem, attachment style, and relationship quality. The study included 506 participants aged 18 to 65. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit after adjusting residual covariances, confirming a four-factor structure (identity, self-direction, empathy, intimacy) and one higher-order factor. The identity, intimacy subscales, and total scale showed satisfactory reliability above .70, while self-direction and empathy were below this threshold and considered less reliable. Compared to the non-clinical sample, the reliabilities of the total scale and the identity and intimacy subscales were similar to the Croatian version. The reliabilities of the original SIFS and its subscales for the full sample were above the upper bounds of the Croatian version, so the reliabilities are not directly comparable. However, when only the non-clinical part of the sample was considered, the reliabilities of the total scale and the identity and intimacy subscales were similar to the Croatian version. Predictive validity analysis showed that identity was a significant predictor of well-being, happiness, and self-esteem. Self-direction and empathy were not significant predictors, while intimacy was a significant predictor of secure, fearful, and dismissive attachment styles and the quality of all relationships. These findings suggest that further research is needed to better examine the psychometric properties of the SIFS

Pokazati će se kako oblik zakrivljenosti utječe na veličinu unutarnjih sila i oblike dijagrama unutarnjih sila, kao i na pomake. Parametarska analiza biti će provedena na nekoliko statičkih modela – ravnoj i zakrivljenoj prostoj gredi te ravnom i zakrivljenom trozglobnom okviru, kao i na nekoliko statički neodređenih sustava, ravnih i zakrivljenih. Usporediti će se odgovor analiziranih modela na šest različitih tipova opterećenja. Raspon analiziranih modela je 40 m, poprečni presjek je pravokutni, konstantan, dimenzija 300 x 900 mm, materijal je beton razreda C45/55. Koncentrirane sile su veličine 10 kN, a kontinuirano opterećenje 10 kN/m'. Statički proračun za analizirana opterećenja biti će proveden pomoću računalnog programa Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2024. Rezultati statičke analize usporediti će se da bi se vidio utjecaj geometrije nosača na odziv istoga.The aim of this project is to present the difference in responses between straight and curved beams by comparing the responses of analyzed beams with the same span and loads, but with different axis geometries. It will be shown how the curvature shape affects the magnitude of internal forces and the form of internal force diagrams, as well as displacements.
The parametric analysis will be conducted on several structural models – a straight and a curved simply supported beam, a straight and a curved three-hinged frame, as well as on several statically indeterminate systems, both straight and curved. The responses of the analyzed models will be compared under six different types of loads. The span of the analyzed models is 40 m, the cross-section is rectangular, constant, measuring 300 x 900 mm, the material is concrete of grade C45/55. The concentrated loads are 10 kN, and the uniformly distributed load is 10 kN/m'. The structural analysis for the applied loads will be carried out using the software Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2024. The results of the structural analysis will be compared in order to observe the influence of beam geometry on the structural response
