Tourist\u27s Perception of Safety in the Republic of Croatia in 2019

This research has examined the attitudes and perceptions of tourists that visited the Republic of Croatia (RH) during the summer of 2019 about the perception of safety in RH, especially on general security, as well as food safety, personal safety, epidemic safety, and natural disasters. Also, we have examined the confidence in Croatian services, such as the police, rescue services, medical emergency, etc. Almost all the safety components were above 4, which indicates that the tourists in Croatia feel safe and trust the services. This research could be a significant tool for improving the policies for attracting the tourists during and after the pandemic

Forensic significance of preliminary drug tests

Cilj ovog rada je utvrditi podudaraju li se rezultati preliminarnog vještačenja s rezultatima Vještačenja u Centru, odnosno utvrditi točnost i pouzdanost preliminarnih testova za drogu. Za potrebe rada prikupljeno je 160 uzoraka te analizom preliminarnih testova za marihuanu, speed i heroin te usporedbom s rezultatima potvrdnih testova utvrđeno kako su preliminarni testovi za drogu točni i pouzdani. Samo je u jednom slučaju postojala razlika između preliminarnoga testa (koji je bio pozitivan) i potvrdnoga (koji je također bio pozitivan), ali je koncentracija aktivne tvari bila niža od zakonski dozvoljene.The aim of this paper is to determine whether the results of the preliminary expertise coincide with the results of the Expertise at the Center, and to determine the accuracy and reliability of preliminary drug tests. For the purposes of the study, 160 samples were collected and the analysis of preliminary tests for marijuana, speed and heroin, and a comparison with the results of confirmatory tests, determined that the preliminary tests for drugs were accurate and reliable. Only in one case was there a difference between the preliminary test (which was positive) and the affirmative (which was also positive), but the concentration of the active substance was lower than legally allowed

Ružička days : International conference 19th Ružička Days “Today Science – Tomorrow Industry” : Proceedings

Dear colleagues, we are extremely honoured to present to you the Proceedings of the international conference 19th Ružička Days, which was successfully held on September 21–23, 2022, in Vukovar, Croatia, in the hometown town of our famous Croatian scientist and first Nobel laureate, professor Leopold (Lavoslav) Ružička. The main goals of the Conference were to promote excellence, originality and innovation of interdisciplinary scientific research as well as the practical application of the obtained results through collaboration with industry, emphasizing thus the recognizable slogan of the Ružička Days conference: "Today Science – Tomorrow Industry". In addition, the Conference gave the opportunity for meetings, exchanging the ideas, opinions, experiences and cooperation among participants from different working surroundings. It is also important to point out that since 2008, within the international conference Ružička Days, Meeting of Young Chemists has also been held, where high school students, with the help of their mentors, present papers in the field of chemistry, with the aim to direct students and young people to the technical and natural sciences, especially chemistry. In its seventh issue (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021) the Proceedings publishes scientific and professional full papers of high quality in the following sections: Chemical analysis and synthesis (10), Chemical and biochemical engineering (3), Food technology and biotechnology (4), Chemistry in agriculture and forestry (1), Environmental protection (9) and 8th Meeting of Young Chemists (3). Full-length papers were subjected to an international review procedure done by eminent experts from the corresponding fields, to whom we express our gratitude, but they were not subjected to linguistic proofreading. On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committee of the 19th Ružička Days we cordially thank all the authors, reviewers, participants, lecturers, organizers, especially the international organizers EuCheMS and EHEDG, auspices and sponsors, and all the others who, in any way, supported the Conference and contributed to the preparation of the Proceedings, especially to our highly skilled and committed associates, who have put a lot of effort in the preparation of these Proceedings. At the very end, special thanks to our young, future scientists and their mentors who are faithful participants of the Meeting of Young Chemists of the Ružička Days conference. Enjoy the extremely interesting scientific and professional papers contained in these Proceedings, until the next 20th jubilee of Ružička Days in 2024! We are looking forward to meeting you again in Vukovar! Yours sincerely, Chief Editors Jurislav Babić Vesna Ocelić Bulatović Dajana Kučić Grgi
