The Decision-making style structure of Slovenian sports managers

Purpose: Decisions that we make are always burdened with consequences, which are the inevitable result of our decision-making. The decision-making style (DMS) is the way in which managers acquire, process and use information in decision-making processes. The goals of the present research are to define the factor structure of DMS for a sample of Slovenian sports managers and to determine the characteristics of their DMS structure. Methods: 80 managers of Slovenian sports organizations filled in an anonymous internet survey. The DMS was measured with the use of the General Decision-Making Style Inventory (GDMS), which was translated into the Slovenian language. The GDMS questionnaire measures five different decision-making styles: rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant and spontaneous. The factor analysis (FA) method was used to test the assumption about the structure of the DMS. The internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to study the relationship between the DMS. Results: After three successive implementations of FA, we developed an optimized DMS model with 20 items confirming that when making decisions, sports managers use a combination of all five DMS. Slovenian sports managers mostly use the rational and dependent DMS, indicating that they are mostly rational decision-makers. We also recognized the correlation between the rational and the dependent style, but since the structure of the DMS in our sample is dominated by the rational DMS, we could conclude that this is a dependent-rational DMS, where mangers seek advice, opinions and knowledge from colleagues when making decisions to increasing their rationality. Conclusions: We can conclude that the recognized average structure of the DMS is functional and healthy; furthermore, Slovenian sports managers are on average rational decision-makers who, due to the specific organizational characteristics of sports organizations, look for confirmation and opinions on future decisions in the broader environment of the organizations' stakeholders

DYNAMICS OF ANTIBODIES TITER BEFORE AND AFTER THE APPLICATION OF MSH VACCINE IN IMMUNOPROPHYLAXIS OF THE BACTERIA Mycoplasma synoviae IN A BROILER PARENT FLOCK

Mycoplasma synoviae predstavlja jednu od prijetnji u peradarstvu na globalnoj razini budući da izaziva velike ekonomske gubitke. Primjena atenuiranog temperaturno osjetljivog MS-H cjepiva jedna je od učinkovitih biosigurnosnih mjera kojom bi izbjegli takve gubitke. Princip djelovanja MS-H cjepiva je kolonizacija gornjih dišnih puteva peradi sa manje patogenim sojem kako bi spriječili prihvaćanje divljih patogenih sojeva. U ovom diplomskom radu opisano je istraživanje kojim se utvrdila razina titra protutijela u kokoši teške pasmine nakon zaraze divljim sojem i nakon cijepljenja MS-H cjepivom. Između dvije skupine nije postojala značajna razlika u titru protutijela prilikom prvog testiranja. Nakon provedenog drugog testiranja zabilježeno je kako je kod kokoši zaraženih divljim sojem došlo do smanjenja titra protutijela, a kod kokoši cijepljenih MS-H cjepivom je porasta titar protutijela zbog mogućeg proboja zaštite. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na aktivnu imunost postignutu cijepljenjem.Mycoplasma synoviae is one of the global threats in poultry industry as it causes large economic losses. The use of an attenuated temperature-sensitive MS-H vaccine is one of the effective protective measures to avoid such losses. The principle of action of the MS-H vaccine is the colonization of the upper respiratory tract of poultry with a less pathogenic strain to prevent the adherence of wild pathogenic strains. This thesis describes a study that determined the level of antibody titers in broiler breeder flocks after infection with wild-type strain and after vaccination with MS-H vaccine. There was no significant difference in antibody titer between the two groups during the first sampling. After conducting a second test, an antibody titer decreased in wild-type infected chickens, while increase in antibody titers occurred in chickens vaccinated with the MSH vaccine, as probable result of wild type infection. The results of the study indicate active immunity achieved by vaccination

Instalacija i usporedba sustava pomoći pri učenju

Sve veća potreba za učenjem na daljinu dovela je do razvijanja različitih alata, odnosno pomagala za e - obrazovanje. Jedan od tih alata je i LMS (Learning Management System) koji je i predmet našeg proučavanja. Usporedit ćemo tri LMS-a kako bismo prikazali njihove sličnosti i razlike. Usporedit ćemo dva sustava koja se koriste za edukaciju učenika i studenata te jedan sustav koji se bavi edukacijom zaposlenika u tvrtkama i velikim korporacijama. Prikazat ćemo MOODLE kao jedan od najkomercijalnijih LMS - ova koji se bavi edukacijom učenika i studenata te Claroline kao manje poznat sustav koji se bavi edukacijom učenika i studenata i Docebo koji se koristi za edukaciju zaposlenika u tvrtkama. Sva tri sustava postavit ćemo na LAMP platformi i usporediti ih. Usporedit će se elementi postavljanja i elementi korištenja kao administrator. Elementi će se ocjenjivati i tablično prikazati zbog bolje preglednosti i lakšeg razumijevanja

STUDENTS´ AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION

Pri osebi, ki doživi srčni zastoj, je nujnega pomena čimprejšnje nudenje temeljnih postopkov oživljanja s strani laične populacije. Pri osebi, ki je doživela zastoj srca, začnejo po štirih minutah nastajati nepopravljive okvare možganov, po šestih minutah poškodba možganov, v desetih minutah po zastoju srca pa nastopi smrt možganov. Z raziskavo želimo ugotoviti, kje oziroma od koga so dijaki dobili znanja iz temeljnih postopkov oživljanja (TPO), ali bi dijaki znali nuditi TPO in ali so dovolj osveščeni o TPO. Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji. Podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, ki je vseboval 24 vprašanj. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 306 srednješolcev tretjega in četrtega letnika iz treh celjskih gimnazij. Ugotovili smo, da je znanje dijakov nezadovoljivo. Večina se jih je pripravljena dodatno učiti in spoznavati TPO. Največ jih je znanje že pridobilo na tečaju prve pomoči. Več kot 50 odstotkov dijakov bi bilo pripravljeno nuditi TPO. Nihče od anketirancev pa se še ni znašel v situaciji, ko bi bilo potrebno oživljanje. Dijaki bi v večini bili pripravljeni pomagati osebi, ki je doživela zastoj srca, vendar ne bi znali pravilno odreagirati. Veliko dijakov bi namreč pri ugotavljanju, ali je oseba v nezavesti, ali diha, ali ji bije srce, izgubljalo pomembne sekunde in s tem dragocen čas, ki ga pa pri osebi, ki je doživela srčni infarkt, nimamo. Pravilno mesto za masažo srca pozna 91 odstotkov dijakov, vendar bi jih s pravilno močjo oživljalo samo 38 odstotkov. Po zbranih podatkih so dijaki premalo osveščeni o TPO, saj niso navajali pravilnih odgovorov.When a person is affected by a cardiac arrest, it is usually critical that cardiopulmonary resuscitation is provided by a member of non-professional population as soon as possible. Four minutes after the cardiac arrest occurs, irremediable brain injuries begin to set in. Six minutes later brain damage appears and ten minutes after a cardiac arrest brain death. In the present research we want to establish where and/or from whom high school students have attained knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), whether the students would be able to give CPR and whether the students are adequately informed about CPR. The research was based on quantitative methodology. In order to acquire data an opinion poll consisting of twenty-four questions was used. The research included 306 third and fourth year high school students of three high schools in Celje. We have found that the students\u27 knowledge is unsatisfactory. Most students are willing to study and acquire additional knowledge about CPR. Most of them learned about it during first aid training. More than 50 per cent of students would be prepared to give CPR. None of the students have found themselves in a situation where resuscitation was needed. Most of the high school students would be prepared to help a person affected by a cardiac arrest, although they would not be able to react appropriately. Many of the students would in fact (when trying to establish whether the patient is unconscious, is he or she breathing, can the pulse be detected) be losing valuable seconds and hence precious time, which is not a luxury, when we are dealing with a person suffering from a cardiac arrest. 91 per cent of students positioned the heart massage correctly, but only 38 per cent would resuscitate using the appropriate strength. According to the acquired data we can conclude that high school students are under informed about CPR since they answered the questions incorrectly
