Attributions of success and failure of student athletes

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je istražiti na koji način studenti sportaši objašnjavaju uzroke svoje najuspješnije i najmanje uspješne izvedbe u sportskoj karijeri. Ispitali smo kako se ti razlozi razlikuju za uspjeh i neuspjeh te s obzirom na spol studenata i vrstu sporta. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 194 studenta Kineziološkog Fakulteta u Zagrebu (Nž=77, Nm=117). U istraživanju je korišten Weinerov model atribucija i CDS II skala (Hanrahan i Cerin, 2009). Rezultati su pokazali da ispitanici donose više internalne, stabilne i osobno kontrolabilne atribucije za uspjeh nego za neuspjeh. Razlike između studenata i studentica dobivene su samo na dimenziji lokusa kontrole za neuspjeh gdje su sportašice svoje neuspjehe u statistički značajno većoj mjeri pripisivale sebi u odnosu na sportaše. Nije dobivena razlika u atribucijama s obzirom na vrstu sporta.The goal of the present thesis is to investigate how student athletes explain the causes of its most successful and the least successful performance in sports career. We examined how these reasons differ for success and failure, and regard to gender of students and type of sport. In this research participated 194 students of the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb (Nw=77, Nm=117). The study used Weiner attribution model and CDS II scale (Hanrahan i Cerin, 2009). The results showed that participants bring more internal, stable and personally controllable attributions for success than for failure. Differences between male and female students were obtained only in the dimension locus of control for failure where woman’s their failures attributed significantly higher to themselves in relation to the man’s. There are no significant differences in attributions considering the type of the sport

Exposure of Croatian population to free and masked forms of deoxynivalenol

DON je jedan od najčešćih trihotecena u hrani, koje uglavnom proizvodi plijesan Fusarium graminearum. Cilj istraživanja bio je odrediti ukupnu izloženost DON-u i derivatima na temelju podataka o konzumaciji namirnica i rezultatima LC-MS/MS analiza ključnih proizvoda. Analizirane su i koncentracije nepromijenjenog DON-a i glukuronidnih metabolita u uzorcima urina prikupljenim od 49 ispitanika. Svrha je bila odrediti utjecaj tipa prehrane (veganskog, lakotoovovegetarijanskog i omnivorskog) na metabolizam i izlučivanje DON-a. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom tri uzastopna dana, pri čemu su prva dva dana bila pripremni period uz isključivanje hrane koja može sadržavati DON. Trećeg dana konzumirani su proizvodi od žitarica s poznatim razinama DON-a. DON-15-GlcA detektiran je u svim uzorcima urina, koncentracije DON-a su bile ispod LOD-a u 14 % uzoraka, dok su koncentracije DON-3-GlcA prelazile LOD vrijednost u samo dva uzorka. Prosječne koncentracije DON-3-GlcA, DON-15-GlcA i DON iznosile su 15,79 ng/mL, 38,98 ng/mL odnosno 4,75 ng/mL. Utvrđeno je da su prosječne stope izlučivanja DON-a i glukuronidacije 75 % odnosno 89 %. Uparivanjem omnivorskih i veganskih ispitanika i korekcijom rezultata na kreatinin utvrđen je značajno veći udio DON-15-GlcA u urinu vegana u odnosu na omnivore. Osim toga, brojni sastojci hrane povezani s biljnom prehranom bili su u korelaciji s povećanim izlučivanjem DON-a u urinu. Rezultati mogu ukazivati na stimulaciju urinarnog izlučivanja DON-a fitokemikalijama.DON is one of the most commonly occurring trichothecenes, produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum. The study aimed to determine the total exposure to DON and derivatives based on food information and LC-MS / MS analysis of key products. The concentrations of unchanged DON and glucuronide metabolites in urine samples of 49 volunteers were also analyzed. The purpose was to determine the effect of diet (vegan, lacto-ovovegetarian or omnivorous) on metabolism and excretion of DON. The study was conducted over three consecutive days, with two days of preparatory period with the exclusion of food that could contain DON. On the third day, cereal products with known DON levels were consumed. DON-15-GlcA was detected in all urine samples, DON concentrations were below LODs in 14% of samples, while DON-3-GlcA concentrations exceeded LOD values in only two samples. Average concentration of DON-3-GlcA, DON-15-GlcA, and DON were 15.79 ng/mL, 38.98 ng/mL and 4.75 ng/mL, respectively. The mean rates of DON excretion and glucuronidation were determined to be 75% and 89%. Pairing of omnivorous and vegan subjects and correction to creatinine significantly increased the share of DON-15-GlcA in vegan urine compared to omnivores. Additionally, a number of food components associated with plant nutrition were correlated with increased DON excretion in urine. The results may indicate stimulation of DON urinary excretion pathways by phytochemicals

THE ROLE OF ADULT EDUCATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUAL CAREERS OF ATHLETES

Kvalitetno obrazovanje sportaša i razvoj specifičnih programa u skladu s obrazovnim potrebama aktivnih i profesionalnih sportaša predstavlja izazov za svaku obrazovnu ustanovu. Uloga obrazovanja odraslih u razvoju dualnih karijera sportaša kroz fleksibilniji pristup obrazovanju dobiva sve veću važnost. Fleksibilnost obrazovanja odraslih omogućuje razvoj specifičnih programa usklađenih s edukativnim potrebama sportaša. Kvaliteta obrazovanja sportaša tijekom sportske karijere često predstavlja preduvjet uspjeha sportaša u karijeri nakon sportske karijere. Razvoj dualnih karijera sportaša možemo opisati kao izazov i iznimno zahtjevan zadatak za sve interesne skupine jer o usvojenim kompetencijama ovisi uspjeh njihova izlaska na tržište rada nakon završetka sportske karijere. U ovom radu prikazani su pozitivni primjeri ulaganja u sportaše u Primorsko- goranskoj županiji kao temelji daljnjeg razvoja programa usmjerenih na osnaživanje sportaša i njihovo cjeloživotno obrazovanje.Quality education of athletes and the development of specific programs in accordance with the educational needs of active and professional athletes is a challenge for every educational institution. The role of adult education in developing dual careers of athletes through a more flexible approach to education is gaining a greater importance. The flexibility of adult education enables the development of specific programs tailored to the educational needs of athletes. The quality of athletes’ education during a sports career is often a prerequisite for athletes’ success in the career after a sports career. The development of dual careers of athletes can be described as a challenge and an extremely demanding task for all interest groups because the successes of their position on the labour market after the end of their sports career depends on the adopted competencies. This paper presents positive examples of investment in athletes in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County as the basis for further development of programs aimed at empowering the athletes and their lifelong learning

Procjena nutritivnog potencijala i sadržaj specijaliziranih metabolita nekih vrsta agruma

The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional composition of fruits of some citrus species (sweet orange, grapefruit, clementine and kumquat) and to determine their basic physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds content, and antioxidant capacity. According to the analyzed data, kumquat fruits had the highest dry matter content (18.71%) and total acid content (3.08%), while the highest values of total soluble solids (13.41%), pH value (3.92), vitamin C (53.69 mg/100 g FW), total phenols (162 mg GAE/100 g FW), β-carotene (1053.17 µg/100 g FW), and antioxidant capacity (1.70 mmol TE/kg) were determined in clementine fruits. Considering the nutritional composition of citrus fruits, it can be concluded that they are a rich source of various bioactive compounds, especially vitamin C, carotenoids, and polyphenols, and are characterized by their high antioxidant capacity, which is important for health. Moreover, the cultivation of citrus fruits is an important factor in the Croatian economy, which should be promoted in the future, and the potential of the southern part of Croatia for the cultivation of these citrus fruits should be exploited to the maximum.Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je valorizirati nutritivni sastav plodova određenih vrsta citrusa: slatke naranče, grejpa, klementine i kumkvata, analizirajući njihova osnovna fizikalno-kemijska svojstva, sadržaj bioaktivnih spojeva i antioksidacijski kapacitet. Prema analiziranim podacima, plodovi kumkvata imali su najviše vrijednosti ukupne suhe tvari (18,71%), ukupnih kiselina (3,08%), dok su istodobno u plodovima klementine utvrđene najviše vrijednosti topljive suhe tvari (13,41%), pH vrijednosti (3,92), vitamina C (53,69 mg/100 g FW), ukupnih fenola (162 mg GAE/100 g FW), β-karotena (1053,17 µg/100 g FW) i antioksidacijskog kapaciteta (1,70 mmol TE/L.) Temeljem analiziranih parametara nutritivnog sastava plodova različitih vrsta citrusa može se zaključiti kako su agrumi bogat izvor različitih bioaktivnih spojeva, posebice vitamina C, karotenoida i polifenola, pa ih stoga karakterizira i visok antioksidacijski kapacitet, a što je od iznimne važnosti i za zdravlje ljudi. Štoviše, uzgoj agruma važan je čimbenik u hrvatskom gospodarstvu, koji bi trebalo dodatno promovirati, dok potencijal južnog dijela Hrvatske za uzgojem ovih agruma treba maksimalno iskoristiti

Estimation of dietary fat intake via the consumption of traditional meat products

Fat content of 137 traditional meat products from Mediterranean and Continental part of Croatia was analysed. Consumption data were obtained on national representative sample of 2002 participants. Obtained results showed traditional meat products to vary in their fat content (10.90%- 52.50%), with significant differences (p<0.05) within same product group but not within regions. About 16% of the respondents were traditional meat products’ consumers, with an average consumption of 51.64 g/day (12.45g/day of fat). The lower portion of consumers was from Mediterranean region. Products most popular among consumers were bacon and dry-fermented sausages, which provide 5-10% recommended daily energy intake
