Socio-economic importance of forests in the Alps

Prispevek obravnava gozd v alpskem prostoru in njegov pomen tako za lastnike kot družbo nasploh. Medtem ko je interes lastnikov predvsem v neposrednih ekonomskih učinkih gozdov, je družbeni pomen gozdov precej širši in vključuje tudi posredne učinke. Uskladitev teh na videz nasprotujočih si interesov, s čimer bi bil omogočen trajnostni razvoj alpskega prostora, je zahtevna naloga,ki pa ni nerešljiva.The importance of forests in the Alps is presented, both from the aspect of their owners and the society in general. While the owners strive primarily fordirect economic benefits from their forests, the societal importance has a wider range. Harmonising these expectations and thus enabling sustainable development of the Alpine area is a challenging but solvable task

Calculation of illuminance of differently shaped spaces

In this graduation thesis I analyzed, by using VELUX Daylight Visualizer software, how shape of space and shape of window influence on daylight illuminance, by considering minimal requirements of rule books and standards discussing daylight illuminance. I checked what affects have different parameters on illuminance of space. The concerned parameters are reflectivity of interior surfaces, glazing type and space orientation. Spaces have to assure minimal prescribed illuminace which I checked in thesis. Because amount of iluminance impact on psychophysiological effects, I checked if this spaces assure enough illuminance for induce this effects. I came to conclusion that there is not enough daylight illuminance in space except in case of sunny sky and that least suitable space is long and narrow space with window on shorter side. Important conclusion of this thesis is that daylight illuminance of spaces is too small

Packaging design of natural cosmetics for company Merkaba

V današnjem času je uporaba kozmetike nekaj povsem normalnega in ni nič čudnega, da postaja kozmetična industrija ena izmed največjih porabnikov embalaže na svetu. Ob poplavi izdelkov na trgu naravne kozmetike se podjetja poslužujejo najrazličnejših prodajnih in oblikovalskih metod, da njihov izdelek izstopa med drugimi, in tako vplivajo na nakupni proces. Samo oblikovanje embalaže se je začelo z načrtovanjem celostne grafične podobe blagovne znamke in procesov izdelave ter uporabe materialov. Najprej je bilo potrebno zasnovati celostno grafično podobo blagovne znamke Zeleno zlato. Ko je bil logotip izdelan in smo izbrali primarne barve ter tipografijo, smo začeli z oblikovanjem embalaže. Sledil je izris preprostih skic, ki smo jih nato s pomočjo skenerja prenesli v program za vektorsko izrisovanje Adobe Illustrator, kjer smo na podlagi skice izdelali vektorsko grafiko nalepk in embalaže. Celotno vektorsko oblikovano grafiko smo nato glede na želje tiskarne ustrezno opremili in pripravili. Posebnost embalaže blagovne znamke Zeleno zlato so delno lakirani deli grafike v peščeno rjavi barvi, ki tako še dodatno izstopajo. Kolekcijo blagovne znamke Zeleno zlato sestavljajo: piling za telo, piling za obraz, olje za telo, serum, naravni kremi Vrtnica in Verbena, šampon za lase in gel za tuširanje v dveh velikostih. Končna vizualna podoba grafike je predstavljena kot nekaj naravnega, elegantnega in rustikalnega. Poleg etiket in embalaže smo izdelali še katalog vseh izdelkov, ki je namenjen predstavitvi blagovne znamke.In today’s times the use of cosmetics is something completely normal and it is not at all strange that the cosmetics industry is becoming one of the largest users of packaging material in the world. Due to the flood of products to the natural cosmetics market, companies are using all sorts of sales and design methods to ensure that their products stand out from their competition, thus influencing the purchase process. The packaging design started with planning the corporate visual identity of the brand, the processes of manufacture, and the use of materials. At firstly it was necessary to create the corporate visual identity of the brand Zeleno zlato. After having created the logo, chosen the primary colours, and the typography, we began designing the packaging. This was followed by tracing simple sketches which we then uploaded into the vector expression program Adobe Illustrator with the help of a scanner. Then we created the graphic images of the labels and packaging based on the sketches. After that we prepared and embellished the graphic designs according to the wishes of the printing company. The distinctive features of the packaging of Zeleno zlato are the partly varnished graphic elements in a sand brown colour through which the products stand out even more. The Zeleno zlato collection is composed of body peeling, face peeling, body oil, serum, the natural creams Vrtnica and Verbena, hair shampoo, and shower gel in two different sizes. The final visual graphic design is presented as something natural, elegant, and rustic. In addition to the packaging and labels, we also designed a full product catalogue meant for promoting the brand

Generation of 3D virtual model of the karst cave from terrestrial laser scaner data

The present work presents principle of generating the 3D virtual model of the karst cave from data acquisition to the final model. Long range terrestrial laser scaner Riegl LMS-Z420i and the enclosed software RiSCAN PRO, which is used for scaner controlling and data capture monitoring are presented as well. The method of scanning and tranforming data from multiple scans into one well-defined project coordinate system is described. The work also presents fundamentals of 3D modelling and visualisation, basic principles of internet and it's features, and shortly describes VRML. The whole data processing and modelling was accomplished in RiSCAN PRO. The animated model suitable for presentations was generated. In addition to animated model, a generalised virtual model in VRML format was prepared

Genetic variation within the olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivar Oblica detected using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers

Oblica is the predominant olive cultivar in Croatia, spread widely in all the olive growing regions. Morphological variability within the cultivar is well documented but often it has been attributed to environmental factors rather than to genetic ones. In order to investigate intracultivar variability on the molecular level, olive samples from 4 growing regions in Croatia (South  Dalmatia, Middle Dalmatia, Kvarner islands and Iner Dalmatia) were screened for amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP). DNA was extracted from leaf tissue and 9 AFLP primer combinations were used. Genetic distancesbetween individual trees were calculated using Dice similarity coefficient and the dendrogram based on UPGMA cluster analysis was constructed. Preliminary results of AFLP analysis indicate that the cultivar Oblica can be regarded as mixture of clonal variants
