NEW DIRECTIONS IN CRIMINAL LAW THE PRIMACY OF NON-CUSTODIAL PENALTIES AND THE COMPENSATORY FUNCTION

The paper is focused on the consequences of the amendment of the Penal Code provisions relating to the penalties, providing a theoretical background for the problems of penalties considered as a part of the Penal Code as well as indicating the current problems of judicial practice in that respect. Especially, the author focuses on the legislator’s assumptions, namely the introduction of the primacy of non-custodial penalties and the emphasis of the compensatory function of criminal law

Social Fear of Crime and Its Consequences

Social fear of crime is a phenomenon of interest to scientific disciplines. The present study draws primarily on the achievements of criminology. It shows that there are different ways of interpreting fear of crime, explaining its causes and responding to it. The conclusions also depend on the perspectives - whether it is the perspective of an individual, small social groups or large social structures. There are always objective and subjective elements in evaluations, including irrational ones. The latter hinder rational criminal policy. Fear of crime has negative social consequences, such as a loss of citizens' sense of security, aggressive attitudes, a loss of trust in law enforcement services, a reduction in the need for social contact, a reduction in the willingness to provide assistance - as a result, an increase in crime and an even greater sense of threat, particularly affecting socially weaker groups. The rigour and emotional approach to the problem of punishing criminals, resulting from the fear of crime, gives rise to the phenomenon of so-called penal populism, often used by politicians with the participation of the media. Finally, the economic costs of social fear of crime are not insignificant. For these reasons, the phenomenon should not be underestimated, but should not be overestimated, because in the context of other threatening situations and various dangers, it does not constitute the main feeling of threat to citizens and is far behind such fears as social, economic, health, fear of war, etc. Favourable developments in areas other than internal security, e.g. increased prosperity reduces social fear of crime more than restrictive criminal law

Development of a business web application for managing club members and competition results

Cilj ovog rada je opisati osnovne dijelove React biblioteke korištenih u postupku kreiranja poslovne web aplikacije. Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se razvojem web aplikacije za kickboxing i taekwondo klub, s ciljem unosa, ažuriranja i upravljanja podacima o članovima, natjecanjima, grupama i trenerima. Aplikacija se kreira s dvije svrhe, jedna je za korisnike kojima će biti omogućen pregled informacija o klubovima, a drugi administrativni dio omogućuje trenerima i voditeljima klubova jednostavno upravljanje podacima. Aplikacija je razvijena korištenjem Reacta za frontend i Node.js-a za backend, čime je osigurana moderna i responzivna arhitektura. Administratorima je omogućena registracija i prijava, čime dobivaju ovlasti za unos, ažuriranje i brisanje podataka. S druge strane, neadministrativni korisnici mogu pristupiti javno dostupnim informacijama o klubovima, treninzima, događajima unutar kluba, natjecanjima i ostvarenim rezultatima. Rezultat rada uključuje funkcionalnu i sigurnu aplikaciju koja doprinosi poboljšanju operativnog rada klubova te dostupnost podataka za članove i širu javnost

Enzyme Evolution: Exploring Substrate Scope and Catalytic Promiscuity

Die enzymatische Evolution und Zusammenhänge verschiedener Enzymklassen wurde auf Basis der Substratambiguität und der katalytischen Promiskuität der Schweineleberesterase, Fettsäure-Hydratasen und -Isomerasen, sowie Haloalkan-Dehalogenasen und Epoxid-Hydrolasen untersucht. Das Substratspektrum und die Enantiopräferenz der Isoenzyme der Schweineleberesterase wurden durch Molekulares Modeling untersucht. Weiterhin konnten Fettsäure-konvertierende Enzyme identifiziert werden, die eine hohe Identität aufweisen und die Fragestellung untersucht, ob die Aktivitäten ineinader überführbar sind. Als weitere Enzymklasse wurde im Bereich der Enzyme mit alpha/beta-Hydrolase-Faltung die Verwandtschaft von Epoxid-Hydrolasen und Haloalkan-Dehalogenasen untersucht und inwiefern eine Epoxid-Hydrolase in eine Haloalkan-Dehalogenase durch gerichtete Evolution und Protein Design überführt werden kann. Im Bereich der gerichteten Evolution konnte ein kontinuierlicher, zielgerichteter in vivo Mutageneseprozess mit thermoinduzierbarer Mutagenese etabliert werden.Enzymatic evolution and the corresponding relationship to substrate scope and catalytic promiscuity were targeted in this thesis. As enzyme examples, pig liver esterase (PLE), oleate hydratases and linoleate isomerases, as well as epoxide hydrolases (EH) and haloalkane dehalogenases (HLD) were used. The substrate scope and the enantiopreference of PLE was analyzed by molecular modeling and substrate docking, since different enantiomeric excesses were detected for the conversion of malonate diethyl esters, depending on the PLE isoenzyme. Additionally, fatty acid converting enzymes with high identity were found and analyzed to comprehend the switch of both activities. Furthermore, the evolutionary connection between EH and HLD was investigated by interconversion studies to implement an HLD acitivity in an EH. By directed evolution and rational design, both possibilities of protein engineering were realized. Finally, a new methodology for targeted, continuous in vivo evolution was established by a temperature-dependent mutagenesis frequency

The importance of tax incentives for research and development in selected EU member states and overview of the situation in the Republic of Croatia

U ovom radu prikazuje se utjecaj poreznih poticaja za istraživanje i razvoj na gospodarski rast u odabranim članicama Europske unije. U radu se osvrće na pojam poreznih olakšica u širem smislu te se definira i razrađuje uloga aktivnosti istraživanja i razvoja i njihov značaj za ekonomiju. Pored toga, prikazuje se pregled poreznih poticaja za istraživanje i razvoj, kako u određenim članicama Europske unije tako i u Republici Hrvatskoj. Navode se i objašnjavaju vrste poreznih poticaja za istraživanje i razvoj te se prikazuje na koji su se način one provodile u pojedinim zemljama Europske unije tijekom 2020. godine. Analizira se utjecaj poreznih poticaja za istraživanje i razvoj na bruto domaći proizvod te se daje prikaz procesa prijave za porezne olakšice za istraživanje i razvoj u Republici Hrvatskoj kroz praktičan primjer. Utjecaj poreznih poticaja za istraživanje i razvoj na gospodarski rast analiziran je pomoću ekonometrijskog panel modela, čiji rezultat pokazuje kako porezne olakšice imaju statistički značajan i pozitivan učinak na rast bruto domaćeg proizvoda.This thesis investigates the impact of tax incentives for research and development on economic growth in selected EU member states. It defines the concept of tax incentives in a broader sense and defines and elaborates the role of research and development activities and their importance for the economy. In addition, the comparative analysis of tax incentives for research and development is presented, both in selected member states of the European Union as well as in the Republic of Croatia. The types of tax incentives for research and development are listed and explained, and it is shown how they were implemented in certain countries of the European Union during 2020. The paper analyzes the impact of tax incentives for research and development on gross domestic product and provides an overview of the application process for tax incentives for research and development in the Republic of Croatia through a practical example. The impact of tax incentives for research and development on economic growth is analyzed using the econometric panel model, the result of which shows that tax reliefs have statistically significant and a positive effect on gross domestic product growth. Some recommendations for the Republic of Croatia are given also
