The influence of information technology in determining the model for sustainability of freight forwarding

Freight forwarding as a factor for growth of the economy, industry and in particular the trade of the Republic of Macedonia and abroad, requires adapting to new conditions resulting from the global economic crisis. The fact that freight forwarding is an integral part of logistics need: To improve performance and to adjust to new conditions (legislation, international agreements and implementation of information technologies). This scientific paper gives a model of sustainable development of freight forwarding where the main accent is placed on the input of information technologies as one of the elements that affect it. From the given data we has analyze and forecast the influence of IT elements of the development on freight forwarding for the period from 2005 to 2015

Market strategies supported by information technology

Given the fact that after global economic crisis the enterprises still feels the consequences, best for them is to transforms organization structure in order to adapt to new conditions at domestic and the international market. Scientific paper gives special emphasis to the development of new market strategies supported by information technology infrastructure, highlighting the function of information technologies as a key driver of competitive strength of enterprises participating in international trade and its impact on organizational adaptation and the demands of international market

Making online business after world economic crisis

2008 would be remembered as one of the most difficult years for the World Economy. Securities markets fell constantly, many banks and companies collapsed, while others were barely rescued by government intervention and many jobs were lost. Consolidating their ranks in terms of financial and business operations, companies in the post recession period create new policies for the development and application of new technologies in production and distribution of goods and services. The application of information and communication technologies (ICT) plays a major role in terms of conquering new markets, communicating with potential and existing business partners, finding the fastest and cheapest way of selling and marketing of assortments of products and services. This scientific paper will explain the creating and starting of an online business as an advanced mode of presenting the products and services of business companies, through which potential customers are attracted and communication and cooperation with business partners is realized. It will further explain the development of a web-based solution for online business which include: creating a business and a graphical solution, providing functionality and interactivity in communication, sales and marketing, as well as its filling with appropriate content which is more than necessary for the development of companies in the post recession period

Methods for testing consistency and homogeneity of the hydrological processes data

Hydrological parameters have major impact to water, energy, civil engineering, industry and other commercial and non-economic branches. For the determination of the hydrological processes are: observed, measured and recorded data on hydrological phenomena. Our knowledge of these phenomena modes is the basis for good planning and management of water resources. As a source of information for defining the characteristics we used measured data. The effectiveness of water systems depends on the measurement and hydrological phenomena, depends of the impact of inaccurate data. Scientific’s paper refers to the collection of hydrological data, determining the properties, checking their accuracy, testing consistency and homogeneity caused by natural or artificial means. For this purpose will we used, ANOVA model for analysis of variance and software for computer modeling, which this paper presents good technique for determining the variables of hydrological processes

Blended Learning Approach in Higher Education

The Republic of Macedonia is presently making great leaps in the development of education. The fundamental tendency is education – the basis of entire society. A need to apply new technologies in training future teachers emerged with the adoption of the program: The Republic of Macedonia as an information society and miscellaneous programs for the application of IC technology (a computer for every pupil, Macedonia – the country of computer experts, covering the country with Wi-Fi, etc.). The underlying tendency is the introduction of e-learning into the curriculum for teachers who would in turn be the carriers of ICT programs and projects in education. This paper aims to present the union of traditional and e-learning as one of the methods for the application of ICT in classrooms, not only as a subsidiary tool but as an interactive part of teaching. We emphasize the use of advanced learning systems, incorporating various types of learning with blending virtual and physical resources. Our paper represents the use of virtual media as a constituent part of blended learning. It is integrated into traditional classrooms and environments where e-learning is used. It incorporates a combination of media supported instructions and solutions that determine the approach in a number of instances of higher education, accentuating the development of different blended learning solution which are being applied in teaching at institutions of higher education (the Faculty of Computer Science and the Faculty of Education) as constituent parts of the State University. University use Learning Management System (Moodle) who plies hugest possibilities: blogs, discussions forums, e-mail, SMS and different tools to create quizzes. Access to this system it is possible across University Web portal and is part of combination between face to face classroom instructions with on-line learning
