No full textOvaj rad se bavi analizom mogućnosti rasta obiteljskog hotela Mirjana & Rastoke na primjeru destinacije Lika, poznate po svojim zaštićenim prirodnim ljepotama i održivom turizmu. Glavni ciljevi rada uključuju istraživanje načina na koji hotel može unaprijediti poslovanje, istaknuti se među konkurencijom te privući veći broj gostiju kroz inovacije i širenje ponude. U radu su analizirani aktualni trendovi okolišne održivosti turizma u Hrvatskoj, kao i specifičnosti destinacije Lika, koja se ponosi bogatstvom prirodnih i kulturnih resursa, od Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera do autohtone gastronomske ponude. Empirijski dio istraživanja temelji se na intervjuima s ključnim osobama hotela i anketama s gostima, čime se dobio uvid u potrebe i očekivanja posjetitelja te mogućnosti za razvoj dodatnih sadržaja. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na važnost očuvanja okoliša i autentičnosti, ali i na potrebu ulaganja u nove usluge koje će zadovoljiti zahtjeve modernih turista. Zaključeno je da hotel Mirjana & Rastoke, uz adekvatnu strategiju i inovacije, može ostvariti konkurentsku prednost i doprinijeti održivom razvoju turizma u Lici.This thesis examines the growth potential of the family-run hotel Mirjana & Rastoke within the context of the Lika destination, known for its protected natural beauty and commitment to sustainable tourism.

Razrada ideje za razvoj održivog turističkog proizvoda u hotelijerstvu
No full textHotelijerstvo danas predstavlja jako popularnu i razvijenu gospodarsku djelatnost te važan
izvor prihoda u turizmu za velik broj zemalja svijeta. Međutim, razvojem hotelijerstva
povećava se pritisak na okoliš što rezultira preprekama za budući razvoj i rast s obzirom da je
temeljni resurs hotelijerstva okruženje u kojem se hotel nalazi. Razvojem masovnog turizma
došlo je do negativnih učinaka, a neki od njih su velika potrošnja vode, energije i resursa,
povećanje količine otpada, povećana koncentracija stakleničkih plinova, izumiranje određenih
životinjskih i biljnih vrsta zbog klimatskih promjena, zagađenja i slično. Iz tog se razloga,
zajedno s konceptom održivog razvoja u turizmu, javlja potreba za razvojem održivih hotela
koji će u svom poslovanju poštivati načela održivog turizma kroz sve tri razine, ekološku,
društvenu i gospodarsku. Radi se o hotelima koji su dizajnirani, izgrađeni i/ili adaptirani
prema konceptu održivog razvoja i koji ostvaruju veću učinkovitost u svom poslovanju bez
ugrožavanja udobnosti gosta istovremeno smanjujući negativan utjecaj na okoliš i smanjujući
komunalne troškove. U ovom radu predstavljen je koncept razvoja održivog turističkog
proizvoda Hotel Rastočki biser u mjestu Rastoke pokraj grada Slunja.Hospitality today represents a very popular and developed economic activity and an important
source of income for many countries of the world. However, the development of hotel
industry increases pressure on the environment, resulting in obstacles to future development
and growth as the hotel's basic hotel resource is the environment in which the hotel is located.
The development of mass tourism has had negative effects, and some of them have a high
consumption of water, energy and resources, increased waste, increased greenhouse gas
concentrations, extinction of certain animal and plant species due to climate changes and
pollution, and the like. For this reason, together with the concept of sustainable development
in tourism, there is a need for the development of sustainable hotels that will respect the
principles of sustainable tourism through all three levels, ecological, social and economical.
Sustainable hotels are designed, built and / or adapted to the concept of sustainable
development and they achieve greater efficiency in their business without compromising the
comfort of the guest and at the same time reduce the negative impact on the environment and
communal costs. This paper presents the concept of the development of a sustainable tourism

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
