Čimbenici motivacije i uspjeha poduzetnika: nalazi iz zemlje u razvoju

This paper is focused on the study of motivational and success factors of entrepreneurs in Serbia with respect to the basic methodological approach developed by Chu (using principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation). The objective of the research was to analyse the motives of entrepreneurs starting their own business and to determine factors that affect the success of SMEs. The empirical research was conducted according to 11 motivational items of entrepreneurs to establish their own business and 17 items affecting entrepreneurs’ success. Four motivational factors are obtained in this research (greater business achievement, independence, intrinsic factor and job security), as well as seven factors affecting entrepreneurs’ success (position in society, interpersonal skills, approval and support, competitive product/ service, leadership skills, always to be informed and business reputation). Based on these results and their comparison with the empirical findings in other countries, it may be concluded that motivational factors of entrepreneurs are generic in developing countries. The results showed that there was a lack of motives concerned with sustainable development of enterprise in a long run. On the other hand, there is a variety of different success factors affecting entrepreneurs, which primarily depend on the current situation in the local environment.Ovaj rad je usmjeren na proučavanje motivacije i čimbenika uspjeha poduzetnika u Srbiji u odnosu na osnovni metodološki pristup razvijen od strane Chu (koristeći analizu glavnih komponenata sa varimax rotacijom čimbenika). Cilj istraživanja bio je analizirati motive poduzetnika za pokretanje vlastitog poslovanja i odrediti čimbenike koji utječu na uspješnost malih i srednjih poduzeća. Istraživanje je provedeno prema 11 motivacijskih stavki poduzetnika za uspostavljanje vlastitog biznisa i 17 stavki koje utječu na uspjeh poduzetnika. Četiri motivacijska čimbenika su dobivena u ovom istraživanju (veći poslovni uspjeh, neovisnost, unutarnji faktor i sigurnost radnog mjesta), kao i sedam čimbenika koji utječu na poduzetnički uspjeh (pozicija u društvu, interpersonalne vještine, odobrenje i podrška, konkurentni proizvod/usluga, vještine vodstva, uvijek biti obaviješten i poslovni ugled). Na temelju tih rezultata i njihove usporedbe s empirijskim nalazima u drugim zemljama, može se zaključiti da su motivacijski čimbenici poduzetnika generički u zemljama u razvoju. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji nedostatak motiva koje se bave održivim razvojem poduzeća u dugom periodu. S druge strane, postoji niz različitih čimbenika koji utječu na uspjeh poduzetnika, koji prvenstveno ovise o trenutnoj situaciji u lokalnoj sredini

Hydroxil Radical Scavenging Activity of Preterm Mothers Milks in the Fenton System

Mothers milk have antioxidative effects against Fenton system via HO radical scavenging. Mother's milk from woman's after preterm delivery antioxidative properties are not examined in details.

Mehanizovani postupci pripreme i obrade komposta od rezidbenih ostataka voćarsko-vinogradarske proizvodnje

This paper is part of research about the effects of mechanized process of fragmentation of pruning residues on the composting process. Compost, as a form of organic fertilizer, requires specific production treatment depending on the form of biomass. Pruning residues from fruit-vine production can be translated into quality organic fertilizer, but it is necessary to coordinate mechanized treatment of biomass and technology of composting process with microbiological processes for organic matter decomposition.Rad predstavlja deo istraživanja uticaja mehanizovanih procesa usitnjavanja rezidbenih ostataka na proces kompostiranja. Kompost kao vid organskog đubriva zahteva specifičan tretman proizvodnje u zavisnosti od vida biomase. Rezidbeni ostaci iz voćarsko-vinogradarske proizvodnje se mogu prevesti u kvalitetno organsko đubrivo, ali je potrebno uskladiti mehanizovane procese obrade biomase i tehnologiju kompostiranja sa mikrobiološkim procesima razlaganja organske materije

Two-Year Complete Remission of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in an Immunological Nonresponder HIV-Infected Patient: Case Report

Introduction: HIV-infected patients are affected significantly more frequently by all types of lymphoma, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as the most prevalent histological type. Since the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) morbidity and mortality of DLBCL has been markedly reduced, which is primarily interpreted as a result of the drug-mediated immune reconstitution. Case Report: We present a previously healthy, 44-year-old HIV-infected man with DLBCL of the oral cavity, treated with immunochemotherapy and cART. During HIV-directed treatment, despite the successful virologic response, a satisfactory immunological response was not achieved. However, the patient had a 2-year complete remission after first-line treatment of DLBCL. Conclusion: Response to cART strongly predicts outcome in patients with DLBCL. Close monitoring of HIV-directed therapy efficacy, especially as to achievement of successful virologic response, independently associated with prolonged survival, is essential for estimating future DLBCL treatment strategies

Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Score as a Biomarker for Vascular Damage Assessment in Patients with Takayasu Arteritis—A Pilot Study

Takayasu Arteritis (TA) is characterized by granulomatous panarteritis, vessel wall fibrosis, and irreversible vascular impairment. The aim of this study is to explore the usefulness of the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis score (ELF), procollagen-III aminoterminal propeptide (PIIINP), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and hyaluronic acid (HA) in assessing vascular damage in TA patients. ELF, PIIINP, TIMP-1, and HA were measured in 24 TA patients, and the results were correlated with the clinical damage indexes (VDI and TADS), an imaging damage score (CARDS), and disease activity scores (NIH and ITAS2010). A mean ELF score 8.42 (±1.12) and values higher than 7.7 (cut-off for liver fibrosis) in 21/24 (87.5%) of patients were detected. The VDI and TADS correlated significantly to ELF (p < 0.01). Additionally, a strong association across ELF and CARDS (p < 0.0001), PIIINP and CARDS (p < 0.001), and HA and CARDS (p < 0.001) was observed. No correlations of the tested biomarkers with inflammatory parameters, NIH, and ITAS2010 scores were found. To our knowledge, this is the first study that suggests the association of the serum biomarkers PIIINP, HA, and ELF score with damage but not with disease activity in TA patients. The ELF score and PIIINP may be useful biomarkers reflecting an ongoing fibrotic process and quantifying vascular damage
