The importance of intangible elements in the assessment of service quality in hotels in Kolubara District
One of the hotel companiesā key strategies in terms of increasing domestic and
international competition is that the hotel service offer reflects a high quality level. Aim of
this paper is to measure the guestsā satisfaction level by the intangible components of offer in
the Kolubara District hotels, i.e. to show the significance of this dimension in the total
process of providing hotel services. Satisfied guests show a higher loyalty level, which
represents a precondition for visiting the same hotel by the same guests and recommend it to
their friends. The research was conducted in four hotels, where 100 respondents, the guests
of the hotel, were surveyed. The research results showed that the intangible dimension of
hotel offer can predetermine and increase the value of services to a large degree, and guestsā
satisfaction as the users of services as well.Publishe
The Importance of Alpha-Lipoic Acid and Vitamin B Complex in Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in a Patient Diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus ā A Case Report
Karpalni sindrom Äini skupina simptoma uzrokovanih kompresijom distalnog dijela nervusa medianusa u karpalnom tunelu. Sindrom je važan u svakodnevnoj kliniÄkoj praksi jer se radi o uÄestaloj mononeuropatiji koja znatno utjeÄe na funkcionalnost i kvalitetu svakodnevnih aktivnosti. Konvencionalno lijeÄenje karpalnog sindroma ovisi o jaÄini i trajanju simptoma i ukljuÄuje raznoliku terapiju: kortikosteroide, imobilizaciju i operaciju. U radu prikazujemo bolesnika u dobi od 54 godine s dugogodiÅ”njim dijabetesom. Nakon kliniÄke i elektromiografske dijagnoze srednje teÅ”koga kroniÄnog karpalnog sindroma i zbog prisutne neuropatije bolesnik je lijeÄen alfa-lipoiÄnom kiselinom i vitaminima skupine B u preporuÄenim dozama tijekom nekoliko mjeseci. PoboljÅ”anje je potvrÄeno i kliniÄki i elektromiografski. Rezultati upuÄuju na moguÄnost uspjeÅ”ne aplikacije alfa-lipoiÄne kiseline i vitamina skupine B u bolesnika s dijabetesom i blagim do srednje teÅ”kim karpalnim sindromom. Potrebna su daljnja kontrolirana randomizirana kliniÄka istraživanja koja Äe to potvrditi.Carpal tunnel syndrome represents a set of symptoms and signs caused by the compression of the distal portion of the median
nerve in the carpal tunnel. It is important in everyday clinical practice since it is the most frequent mononeuropathy that significantly influences the functionality and the quality of daily activities. The conventional treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome consists of (based on severity and duration of symptoms) different therapies, such as: corticosteroids, immobilization or surgery. This is a case report of a 54-year-old patient, suffering from diabetes mellitus for many years. After clinical and electromyographic confirmation of moderate chronic carpal tunnel syndrome, and because of the existing polyneuropathy, the patient has been treated with alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin B complex in recommended therapeutic doses for several months. An improvement has been verified clinically and electromyographically. The result indicates the possibility of successful therapeutic application of alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin B complex in diabetic patients with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Further randomized controlled clinical studies are needed to confirm this
Noise at public event
Recent years the noise is one of the leading pollutants in working and living environment. Although in some cases the noise levels do not exceed proposed levels, people often have the opposite impression. While for the most activities noise regulation exists, for public events this is not the case. There are certain guidelines, however established levels differ from country to country. In order to determine the noise level during public events the equivalent level of noise was measured at one public event on which approximately 50,000 people was present. The results show significantly high levels of noise, especially during rock concert and firework, when certain protective measures should be implemented

U ovome radu istražuju se, elaboriraju i na praktiÄnim primjerima analiziraju mjerila
uspjeÅ”nosti u prometu, posebice proizvodnosti rada u prometu. Objekti istraživanja jesu naÄini
mjerenja proizvodnosti u prometu, prijevozni rad i zaposlenost u prometu. Na kraju rada
analizira se proizvodnost rada mjereno statiÄkim i dinamiÄkim pokazateljima rada u
prometnom sustavu Republike Hrvatske, ukupno i po pojedinim prometnim granama te
ukazuje na moguÄnosti i važnost poveÄanja ukupne proizvodnosti rada u prometu. Glavni

ANALIZE TOÄKE POKRIÄA NA PRIMJERU AUTOÅ KOLE
ToÄka pokriÄa je koristan analitiÄki instrument za utvrÄivanje ekonomskih uÄinaka koji u ovom radu pomaÅ£e u planiranju i donoÅ”enju poslovnih odluka u procesu poslovanja autoÅ”kole. Ovaj model se koristi kao instrument koji daje odreÄene smjernice za kratkoroÄno poslovno odluÄivanje. Cilj rada je utvrditi toÄku pokriÄa, odnosno potrebnu razinu poslovnih prihoda u poslovanju autoÅ”kole koja omoguÄava pokrivanje svih troÅ”kova tj. utvrditi razinu poslovanja ispod koje poslovanje postaje dugoroÄno neodrÅ£ivo. Kroz razgovor sa vlasnikom autoÅ”kole Ā«EUROPAĀ» prikupljeni su podaci o financijskim Äimbenicima potrebnim za odreÄivanjem toÄke pokriÄa ā ukupni fiksni troÅ”kovi, ukupni varijabilni troÅ”kovi te ukupni prihod na temelju kojih je odreÄena vrijednosno izraÅ£ena toÄka pokriÄa na godiÅ”njoj razini. Analizom financijskih Äimbenika u poslovanju autoÅ”kole zakljuÄujemo da bi vlasnik ostvario pozitivan financijski rezultat mora ostvariti oÄekivanu dobit najmanje u visini 5% neto prihoda

PROBLEMS AND POSSIBILITIES OF ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF AGRO-ECOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The economy based on renewable natural resources, a specific and heterogeneous group of resources (agricultural land, biological reserves, energy flows and ecosystemic externalities) includes a number of aspects for rational use and evaluation of external effects of the natural heritage. Rent is a key economic category, which was originally linked to the phenomenon of proceeds achieved on the basis of property rights relating to natural factors. Exploitation of natural resources creates considerable external effects, that are representing the social dimension of costs, which should be appropriately tackled as one of the most important practical problems regarding their rational use. This paper points out different theoretical-analytical approaches to the optimalization of renewable natural resources. It specifically considers possible methods of evaluation of agroecological resources and external effects of ecosystem services (direct ones, based on hypothetical markets, and indirect ones, based on derived demand) Consideration starts from the aimed position that the identification and quantification of rents and ecosystemic externalities, represents the substantial foundation and precondition for efficient policy and protection measures, as well as rational and sustainable use of natural resources
MANAGEMENT DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM IN PROCUREMENT OF AGROINDUSTRY COMPLEX
The optimal procurement is achieved by monitoring them from the very beginning of the planningprocess. Procurement planning, as one of the basic functions of procurement management,determines the goals, tasks and the way of their realization. The realization of procurement plansis realized through the purchase function of business entities, both from the domestic and foreignmarkets.The specifics of procurement of agro-industrial complex require continuity as a basicrequirement. The importance of procurement consists in the fact that the level of reproductivecapacity of the agro-industrial complex depends significantly on the normative organization,organization and quality of procurement. The goal of procurement is precisely, timely, quality andunder the most favorable conditions, the acquisition of funds on the market, in order to meetthe needs for the continuous operation of the companies from the agro-industrial complex
IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL FAILURE OF RELEVANCE CONSOLIDATED BUDGET
Financial concept of consolidated treasury account includes integration of basic factors of the business systems budget and other public funds. In this way established the relevance of the organizational structure of the system causes a systematic approach to fully satisfy the request. Normative conflict with the actual situation of the organization of the budget system causes partial financial coverage of budgetary positions and the actual non-compliance with the bookkeeping records
