UTJECAJ DRUŠTVENO ODGOVORNOG POSLOVANJA NA KONKURENTSKU PREDNOST PODUZEĆA DRACO D.O.O. : Diplomski rad

Društveno odgovorno poslovanje predstavlja suvremenu poslovnu praksu koju primjenjuje sve veći broj poduzeća u EU i širom svijeta, kao odgovor na različite ekonomske i društvene pritiske, te one koji se tiču zaštite okoliša. Izražavajući socijalnu odgovornost i dobrovoljnost kroz opredjeljenost koja prelazi propisane zakonske zahtjeve (koji se svakako moraju poštovati), kompanije nastoje podignuti standarde zaštite okoliša, društvenog razvoja te poštivanja ljudskih prava. Iako se u većini slučajeva primjena DOP-a vezuje uz poslovanje velikih kompanija, danas se rapidno povećava broj malih i srednjih poduzeća te ostalih tipova poduzetništva koja u svoje poslovanje implementiraju strategiju DOP-a. Strategija DOP-a postaje sve više popularna upravo iz razloga što se njenom primjenom ostvaruju bolji poslovni rezultati i stječe određena konkurentska prednost. Konkurentska prednost koja je kreirana primjenom DOP-a, teško se može kopirati te stvara jedinstvenu percepciju poduzeća koja služi izgradnji njegove reputacije. Temeljni cilj ovog istraživanja je bio utvrditi razinu primjene koncepta društveno odgovornog poslovanja u poduzeću „Draco d.o.o.“, odnosno ispitati da li primjena DOP-a utječe na konkurentsku prednost navedenog poduzeća. Empirijska istraživanja su provedena formuliranim anketnim upitnikom na uzorku od 27 zaposlenika. Rezultati istraživanja su ukazali da se glavna hipoteza (Postoji pozitivna veza između razine primjene koncepta društveno odgovornog ponašanja poduzeća i konkurentske prednosti)nemože prihvatiti jer se niti jedna od pomoćnih hipoteza nije u potpunosti prihvatila.Corporate social responsibility is a modern business practice applied by a growing number of companies in the EU and worldwide in response to various economic and social pressures, and those concerning environmental protection. Expressing social responsibility and the commitment to exceed legal requirements (which should certainly be respected), companies are trying to raise the standards of environmental protection, social development and respect of human rights. Although in most cases the application of CSR is linked to the business of large companies, today the number of small and medium enterprises and other types of businesses which implement the CSR strategyis rapidly increasing.The CSR strategy is becoming more popular because through its application better business results are achieved and certain competitive advantages are gained. Competitive advantage created by applying CSR is difficult to copy and creates a unique perception of the company that serves for the establishment of its reputation. The basic aim of this study was to determine the level of application of the concept of corporate social responsibility in the company "Draco Ltd.", thus examinining whether the application of CSR affects the competitive advantage of the above company. Empirical studies have been carried out through a formulated questionnaire on a sample of 27 employees. The results suggest that the main hypothesis (There is a positive connection between the level of application of the concept of corporate social responsibility and competitive advantage) cannot be accepted because none of the other hypotheses were fully accepted

MONITORING OF GEOPHYSICAL PROCESSES IN THE AREA OF WESTERN HERZEGOVINA BY SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS

Razvoj tehnologije senzora koji se naziva radar sa sintetičkom antenom (SAR) i pripadajućeg softvera za obradu podataka pomogli su da satelitska radarska interferometrija (InSAR), metoda koja koristi više SAR snimki istog područja, prikupljenih sa satelita, postane široko korištena metoda za procjenu deformacije tla kao i drugih geofizičkih procesa, jer pruža milimetarsku preciznost uz veliku prostornu pokrivenost. U radu su obrađene 24 Sentinel-1A snimke za područje zapadne Hercegovine, napravljene tijekom 2020. godine te su određene srednje brzine vertikalnih pomaka koristeći program SNAP (Sentinel Application Platform). Zabilježeni su vertikalni pomaci iznosa ±10 milimetara dok srednje brzine pomaka na godišnjoj razini iznose 8 milimetara u vertikalnom smjeru, bez uzimanja u obzir korekcije za utjecaj horizontalnih pomaka. Ostvareni prvi rezultati na području istraživanja ukazuju na određeni trend gibanja tla, ali zbog više vrsta provedenih atmosferskih korekcija, geomorfoloških karakteristika područja istraživanja te pomanjkanja in-situ mjerenja za potrebe usporedbe, morati će se vanjska ocjena pouzdanosti dobivenih deformacija procijeniti u budućim istraživanjima.Developments in sensor technology called Synthetic Antenna Radar (SAR) and associated data processing software have helped satellite radar interferometry (InSAR), a method that uses multiple SAR images of the same area collected from satellites, to become a widely used method for estimating soil deformation as well as other geophysical processes, because it provides millimeter precision with great spatial coverage. The paper deals with 24 Sentinel-1A images for the area of western Herzegovina, taken during 2020, and determined the average speeds of vertical displacements using the SNAP program (Sentinel Application Platform). Vertical displacements of ± 10 millimeters were recorded, while the mean annual displacement velocities were 8 millimeters in the vertical direction, without taking into account the correction for the influence of horizontal displacements. The first results in the study area indicate a trend of ground movement, but due to several types of atmospheric corrections, geomorphological characteristics of the study area and lack of in-situ measurements for comparison, external evaluation of the reliability of deformations will have to be assessed in future studies

Internet and Information Technology Use by Students in School of Dental Medicine University of Zagreb

Ovim se istraživanjem željela ustanoviti razina informatičke pismenosti studenata dodiplomske nastave Stomatološkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (SFSZG-a) te doznati više zašto se i koliko koriste računalima i internetom. Bilo je obuhvaćeno 297 studenata svih pet godina dodiplomske nastave - 29,3% muških i 70,7% ženskih ispitanika, a srednja im je dob bila 21 godina. Svi su ispunili upitnik s 15 pitanja, a rezultati su obrađeni Spermanovim testom korelacije i testom hi kvadrat. Statistički je praćena korelacija varijable “poznavanje pojma elektroničkog učenja (e-learning) i ostalih zadanih varijabli. Rezultati su pokazali da se studenti koriste računalom dva sata na dan (77%) i to uglavnom – kako navodi njih 79,8% - za “surfanje internetom”. Glavni razlog za pregled internetskih stranica studentima je “pronalaženje informacija” u 52,8% slučajeva te “komunikacija i pregledavanje e-pošte”, što je istaknulo njih 21%. Računalom se ne koristi 5,2% studenata SFSZG-a.This research was conducted in order to gain insight into the undergraduate student’s level of computer literacy at the University of Zagreb School of Dental Medicine (UZSDM), and discover the purpose for the use of computers and the internet. The research was conducted on 297 students from all 5 years of the undergraduate program at the UZSMD; 29.3% male and 70.7% female subjects at the average age of 21 years. Each student filled in a questionnaire containing 15 questions, and the results were analysed with the Spearman correlation test and the chi square test. The co-relation between the variable: “recognizing the term “e-learning” and other determined variables was statistically analysed. The results showed that students mostly use computers for up to 2 hrs daily (77%), and the main reason cited for this, in 79.8% of the students was “surfing the net”. The main purpose for using the internet was “searching for information” in 52.8% of the cases and “communication and e-mail reading” in 21%. Of the polled students at UZSDM, 5.2% do not use computers

HYSTEROSCOPY BEFORE IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

In the last decade, success after in vitro fertilization process (IVF) has remained at a similar rate despite all the improvements implemented in the stimulation protocols and laboratory techniques. Hysteroscopy is a method becoming more widely used with patients after a failed IVF cycle, considering a large incidence of uterus cavum pathological states which have a negative impact on the favorable outcome. Numerous studies have provided different results on the IVF outcome with hysteroscopy performed prior to this treatment in cases with no uterus cavum pathology. The aim of the research was to examine the effect of both diagnostic and surgical hysteroscopy on the outcome of IVF.  Hysteroscopy was performed with 74 patients 30 to 50 days prior to IVF and in 33 of them (group I) some pathological state was noticed, which was treated during the same procedure. The control group (group III) included 151 patients who had IVF performed with no prior hysteroscopy. There is no statistically significant difference in the rate of post hysteroscopy implantation between I and II group when compared to the control group (20.62% vs 23.28% vs 17.31%), nor in the rate of clinical pregnancies (45.45% vs 46.34% vs 34.44%). Following the correctional treatment of uterus cavum pathological states, implantation and pregnancy rates remain at a level comparable to hysteroscopically normal medical findings. Statistically significant higher pregnancy rate is present in group I after the first IVF cycle, compared to the next IVF in the same group and in comparison to the next IVF cycle in the control group (60.00% vs 27.91%, p<0.05). Hysteroscopy is a simple and safe method allowing nearly identical rate of clinical pregnancies after a surgical treatment of uterus cavum pathological states when compared to the control group, but statistically much higher pregnancy rate if the order of IVF procedure is being compared. In cases of normal ultrasound findings and negative hysteroscopical findings, performing hysteroscopy prior to IVF does not provide significantly better results. Therefore, its routine execution is not recommended

Health-related Quality of Life in the Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis: The Analysis of Demographic and Clinical Factors

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among hemodialysis (HD) patients recently became a nephrologist’s focus of interest. HRQoL is an important predictor of outcome in HD patients and need to be regularly assessed. The aim of the present study was to compare the HRQoL of chronic HD patients with general population and to analyze influencing sociodemographic and clinical factors. We included 255 prevalent HD patients from four dialysis centers. HRQoL was measured with The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36). This data were compared with control group (N=132) from the general Croatian population. Comparisons of SF-36 scale scores of HD patients regarding demographic and clinical factors (age, gender, education level, dialysis vintage and diabetes) were also performed and analyzed with a multivariate regression analysis. HRQoL in prevalent HD patients was relatively low (mean Physical Component Summary, PCS=33.7, mean Mental Component Summary,MCS=43.0) and was lower compared to the control group from the general population in all HRQoL domains, PCS and MCS scores. Almost 53% of the HD patients had the critical score PCS<43 + MCS<51 as the predictor of death and hospitalization. Better HRQoL was revealed in the patients <65 years old, males, patients with higher educational level and in the patients on maintenance HD less than one year. Age was the only statistically significant predictor of PCS and MCS. Developments of HD technology, treatment of comorbidities, continuous patients’ education, social and psychological support and use of other renal replacement modalities, especially kidney transplantation, may improve the HRQoL in these patients
