Plague epidemics have remained in the collective consciousness until nowadays remembered as the deadliest. Therefore, it is not surprising that the answers to them throughout history have been not only medical but also religious. The previously mentioned will be analyzed in this paper through the cults of the protector saints against the plague epidemics that have developed in two Croatian cities of comparable size, Rijeka and Osijek, but with the diametrically opposed geographical positions and, accordingly, quite different historical developments. On the one hand, a more detailed overview of the development of the cults of various saints present in the mentioned cities will be presented. On the other hand, based on their presentation in the sacral heritage of these cities, the broader context of the time and space in which they have developed will be lightened. Particular attention will be paid to their medical connotations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews development of digital landslide databases in various countries and in Croatia. Countries that were chosen are those endangered by slope processes and/or those that have landslide databases established and available for review (e.g. Japan, China, New Zealand). The paper shows parameters used in the databases (in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia) and categories recommended for landslide inventory and database development at the global level. Terminology important in research and evaluation of landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk is also reviewed. The availability of landslide data in Croatia is shown using the example of Rijeka area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper discusses the results of a quality-of-life research project in the City of Rijeka. The first part presents a deconstruction of the concept into domains and sub-domains that were chosen to represent the quality-of-life concept in this research. The second part is devoted to the analysis of the subjective quality-of-life experience of the inhabitants living in five chosen city neighbourhoods and the evaluation of the objective features of their immediate living space. The following neighbourhoods were chosen: Belveder/Brajda-Dolac, Pećine, Pehlin, Orehovica and Pašac. Results discussed in the paper show significant variations existing in the satisfaction with life domains between respondents living in those five neighbourhoods. According to the analysis, respondents from Belveder/Brajda-Dolac show the lowest average levels of satisfaction with three domains: transport and infrastructure, natural environment and neighbourhood safety. On the other hand, those respondents are significantly more satisfied with the accessibility of services and facilities than all the other respondents. Contrary to them are the respondents from two neighbourhoods on the outskirts of the city, namely Pašac and Orehovica, who are significantly more satisfied than all the other respondents with the domain of natural environment, but the least satisfied on average with the accessibility of services and facilities important for the everyday quality of life in the city. Domains and sub-domains that the respondents in different neighbourhoods are the least satisfied with represent those aspects that need special attention and work on the improvement of quality of life.

The subject of this scientific work is to analyze the influence of the ship storage occupancy capacity variation on the optimal capacity as well as the considered economic indicators of a feeder ship. The results of the research have provided to a shipping company the possibility to take appropriate business moves in accordance with new or predicted business opportunities on a specific line aiming at improving the sea transport service efficiency. By using a model to determine the optimal capacity of a feeder ship, the paper aims at analyzing the influence of the change in the amount of cargo between the port of Rijeka, as a regional hub port, and the possible peripheral ports of Zadar, Sprit and Ploče on the optimal capacity of a feeder ship operating in the presumed feeder service At the same time, by using ditto model, a specific trend in the movement of economic indicator values (cost-effectiveness and economic justifiability) is determined for the previously defined optimal capacity on the considered route. Moreover, an analysis of the capacity changes due to the reduction in the cargo quantity and ship storage capacity ratio is carried out and presented in this paper by using the same model.

The port service quality research methods from the users' point of view are presented in this paper. The purpose of this research is to select and reduce a large number of the port service quality attributes to a smaller number of attributes, grouped in common factors according to certain criteria. By analyzing the structure of the grouped attributes, the users' expectation of the service quality provided according to their requirements is determined and evaluated. The determination of interdependence among more variables has been carried out by using the multivariate analysis or, specifically, by using the method of the principal component factor analysis. The presented methodology has been applied to the real data obtained from the questionnaire of the sample of students attending the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Rijeka, Croatia. The data collected have been processed by using the SPSS 16.0. statistical package. Based on the factor matrix and after having carried out the Oblimin rotation, it has been determined that five latent groups of attributes grouped in factors have been indicated by the attributes. Five factors singled out considering the associated port service quality attributes have been called: the port functionality factor, the port responsibility factor, the port adaptability factor, the port availability factor and the port information capacity factor.

By revealing the destiny of brick Romana the author is trying to point out the destinies of similar sailing vessels that navigated the seas in the middle of 19th century. The intention of this paper is also to throw some light on naval history of the town of Rijeka in the same period. To do so the case study method, descriptive, comparative, statistical and methods of analysis and synthesis were used. Special attention was dedicated to the votive painting and newspaper article -- fonts of historical knowledge with all their possibilities and limitations. It was established that newspaper article based on reliable source can contain many different information about things such as route, cargo, cargo management, consular service, causes and details of accident. But, while the newspaper information can considerably differ in quantitative and qualitative way, information from 19th century votive paintings are far more homogenous because of their standardized structure. They, besides accident details (when, where, how), are always the evidence of the ship's origin and appearance, captain, bad weather navigation, language, as well as the votive practice and the appearance of ex voto.
