STAVOVI PREMA DOPINGU KAO PREDSKAZATELJI UPORABE DOPINGA KOD PROFESIONALNIH SPORTAŠA I SPORTAŠA AMATERA

Doping and the use of performance-enhancing drugs in athletes have become hot topics in recent years. There seem to be many factors that will influence whether one will opt to use a banned substance, and an athlete’s attitudes toward doping is one of them. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of doping usage in the athlete population of the city of Osijek and to evaluate the interconnection between athletes’ attitudes toward doping and doping usage. A cross-sectional study with a specially designed questionnaire was done during the period from August to October 2019 among a convenient sample of athletes from the city of Osijek. The study showed that there were 3.7% of participants who said that they had been using doping in the past but only for the purpose of treatment. The study also showed that there is a positive interconnection between attitudes toward doping and doping usage. Furthermore, the study had revealed that competitiveness affects the doping attitude. It can be concluded that it is necessary to put more emphasis on changing attitudes toward doping and implementing additional educational programs in order to decrease doping usage in the athletes’ population.Doping i upotreba tvari za postizanje boljih rezultata kod sportaša postali su posljednjih godina jedna od gorućih tema. Čini se kako postoji mnogo čimbenika koji utječu na to hoće li se netko odlučiti konzumirati zabranjenu supstancu, a stav sportaša prema dopingu jedan je od njih. Ciljevi ovog istraživanja bili su ispitati prevalenciju uporabe dopinga u populaciji sportaša grada Osijeka te ocijeniti povezanost između stavova sportaša prema dopingu i uporabe dopinga. Ovo presječno istraživanje provedeno je pomoću posebno osmišljenog upitnika u razdoblju od kolovoza do listopada 2019. godine na prigodnom uzorku sportaša iz grada Osijeka. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako je u uzorku bilo 3,7% sportaša koji su prijavili korištenje zabranjenih supstanci u prošlosti no isključivo zbog liječenja. Istraživanje je također pokazalo kako postoji pozitivna povezanost između stavova prema dopingu i uporabe dopinga. Nadalje, istraživanje je otkrilo kako naglašen natjecateljski duh kod nekog sportaša utječe na njegovu uporabu dopinga. Može se zaključiti kako je potrebno staviti veći naglasak na promjenu stavova prema dopingu i provođenje dodatne edukacije kako bi se smanjila uporaba dopinga u populaciji sportaša

Economic Violence against Women in Croatia: A Comparative Study between Continental and Maritime County

Economic violence (EV) refers to acts of control and monitoring of the behavior of an individual in terms of the use and distribution of money, and the constant threat of denying economic resources. EV has hindered a great proportion of women from achieving economic autonomy and sustainable livelihood for themselves and their dependents. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of EV among Croatian women, to identify the main forms of EV and to evaluate interconnection between EV and selected sociodemographic indicators. As part of this cross-sectional study a validated, anonymous questionnaire that contained questions regarding sociodemographic data as well as questions regarding EV was self-administered to a sample of women from two Croatian counties, one continental (Osijek-Baranja) and one maritime (Istria), during April and May 2017. The study sample included 1314 women, the median age being 41 (interquartile range 32–55) years. The overall prevalence of EV was 18.9%; 77.5% being qualified as less and 22.5% as more severe. Among the women who experienced EV 96.0%, 59.8% and 36.1% of them were exposed to economic control, economic exploitation and employment sabotage, respectively. The EV was more prevalent among women from maritime (Istria) county (P<0.001); women aged between 44 and 56 years and women aged between 31 and 43 years (P<0.001); women who were single (P<0.001); women with lower educational level (P=0.006) and women with under average self perceived socioeconomic status (P<0.001). It can be concluded that EV is highly prevalent among Croatian women and as such represents an important public health challenge within this population. Selected sociodemographic indicators represent significant risk factors for the development of EV in the studied population

Konstantnim povećanjem postotka ljudske populacije u gradovima povećava se i broj automobila u gradovima. S povećanjem broja automobila dolazi do većeg opterećenja prometa te zahtjeva za novim parkirnim mjestima. Kako bi smanjilo opterećenje prometnica i potražnja za parkirnim mjestima potrebno je osmišljavati nove metode. Jedna od tih metoda je i dijeljenje automobila kojoj je cilj smanjiti vrijeme koje vozilo provode na parkirnom mjestu. Za implementaciju takve metode potrebno je kreirati sustav koji će omogućivati iznajmljivanje i dijeljenje automobila te plaćanje usluge. U ovome radu izraditi će se dio aplikacije za dijeljenje automobila koja će funkcionirati na pametnom ugovoru unutar blockchain-a odnosno distribuiranog zapisnika. Postupak izrade te funkcionalnosti aplikacije objašnjene su unutar rada. Aplikacija se fokusira na plaćanje koristeći pametne ugovore te su opisani ostali dijelovi sustava potrebni za implementaciju aplikacije koje nisu unutar okvira ovoga rada.Number of vehicles in cities rises with the constant increase of human population in the cities. Bigger number of vehicles creates bigger traffic congestion and demand for parking spaces. To reduce traffic congestion and demand for parking spaces it is necessary to devise new methods. One of those methods is car sharing which goal is to reduce time vehicles spends in the parking spot. To implement that kind of method it is necessary to create a system which will enable car sharing and service payment. Part of application for car sharing will be created in this paper. Application will be focused on smart contract and blockchain. The process of making the application is explained within the paper. Application is focused on payments using smart contract and the other parts of the system needed for implementation are described but are not within the scope of this paper

Analysis of Software Tools for Computer Networks Security

Upotreba računalnih mreža je sve veća te dobiva sve veći značaj. Jedan od bitnih aspekata računalnih mreža je njihova sigurnost. U radu će se obraditi značajke računalnih mreža, mehanizmi zaštite te opasnosti u računalnim mrežama. Za detekciju opasnosti u mreži se koriste programski alati: Network Mapper, Nessus i Nexpose. Iz dobivenih rezultata napravila se usporedna analiza programskih alata te se ukazalo na njihove prednosti i nedostatke.The use of computer networks is increasing and becoming ever more important. One of most important aspects of computer networks is their safety. This paper will cover features of computer networks, security mechanisms and dangers in computer networks. Software tools: Network Mapper, Nessus and Nexpose are used for vulnerability detection. Comparative analysis is based on the results of scan and points out advantages and deficiencies of software tools

Language Changes in the Dialect of Trviž

U radu su analizirane jezične mijene u govoru Trviža, govoru središnjega istarskog poddijalekta čakavskoga ekavskog dijalekta. Proučavane su na temelju ogleda govora izvornih govornika govora Trviža, koji su bili podijeljeni u tri skupine s obzirom na životnu dob. Analizirane su promjene na fonološkoj i morfološkoj razini. Radi preciznosti, za jezične činjenice fonološke i morfološke razine naznačeno je koje se među njima smatraju alijetetnim, odnosno alteritetnim značajkama.The aim of this thesis was to analyze language changes in the Trviž idiom, i.e. the idiom appertaining to the Chakavian Ekavian dialect that is in fact a central Istrian subdialect. This was done through the examination of the speech of the native speakers of the Trviž idiom who were divided into three groups based on their age. The aforementioned changes were analyzed on the phonological and morphological level. In order to ensure preciseness, a clear distinction was drawn between linguistic features (both phonological and morphological) that were considered to be an alterity (Croatian alteritet) and the ones regarded as “pure otherness” (Croatian alijetet)
