Field physics education : Interactive learning

Obrazovanje se treba mijenjati i prilagođavati potrebama učenika. Nužno je udaljavanje od predavačke nastave i okretanje prema suvremenoj nastavi u fizici. Time dolazimo do interaktivnosti u nastavi, učenicima se ne daje gotovo gradivo nego sami dolaze do rješenja. Ovakva vrsta nastava pomaže učenici da lakše pamte i primjenjuju naučeno gradivo. Rezultati raznih istraživanja pokazuju značaj terenske nastave kod učenika. Potiče kreativnost, stvara nove vještine i stavove, kako kod učenika tako i kod nastavnika. Kroz terenski rad učenici stječu direktno iskustvo o gradivu. U radu se spominju pojedina istraživanja na ovu temu, kao i stavovi učenika o važnosti i korisnosti terenske nastave u fizici. Na Danu otvorenih vrata Fizičkog odsjeka predstavljena je anketa koju su sudionici ispunjavali nakon posjete. Rezultati ankete dali su nam bolji uvid u važnost terenske nastave fizike.Education needs to be changed and tailored to the needs of students. It is necessary to move away from lecturing and turning to modern teaching in physics. This is why we come to interactivity in the classroom, the students are not given any conclusion but they come to the solution themselves. This kind of teaching helps students learn and apply lessons learned more easily. The results of various researches show the importance of field teaching with students. It promotes creativity, creates new skills and attitudes both with students and teachers. Through field work, students gain direct experience of the material being taught. In this paper are mentioned some research on this topic, as well as student attitudes about the importance and usefulness of field teaching in physics. On the day of the Open Door of the Physics Department, a survey was distributed among participants after their visit. The results of the survey gave us a better insight into the importance of field teaching in physics

Influence of ideology on the architecture of Sokol houses in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia

Sokolski pokret je predstavljao veoma važan i jedinstven način borbe za ujedinjenje Južnih Slovena, pa je njegova uloga bila od izuzetnog značaja u konstruisanju jugoslovenskog identiteta u Kraljevini Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca. Negovanje sporta kao simbola harmonije između tela, duše i duha je promovisalo fizičko vaspitanje kao put ka integralnom jugoslovenstvu. Cilj ovog rada je da se razmotre elementi ideologije i propagande koji su bili prisutni u estetici i vizuelnoj prezentaciji sokolske arhitekture. Kroz analizu sokolske životne filozofije može se zaključiti do koje mere je ona uticala na arhitekturu sokolskih domova. Veza između Sokolskog pokreta i jugoslovenske ideologije je implicirala detaljniji uvid u političke događaje koji su direktno uticali na proces gradnje i stilskog razvoja sokolskih domova. Ekspanzija podizanja sokolskih domova širom Kraljevine Jugoslavije se poklapala sa diktaturom kralja Aleksandra I Karađorđevića, što jasno ukazuje da je postojala snažna veza i podrška između Sokola i monarhije. Politička dimenzija Sokolskog pokreta je bez sumnje komunicirala sa konceptom integralnog jugoslovenstva. Promene koje su se desile 1934. godine, atentat na kralja Aleksandra, kao i određeni problemi sa Rimokatoličkom crkvom, rezultirali su osetnim smanjenjem podizanja sokolskih domova sve do 1941. godine. Kroz analizu političkog uticaja na arhitekturu sokolskih domova, kao i njihove estetike i ideologije, može se izvući zaključak o tadašnjim društvenim prilikama. Odatle sledi da se sokolska arhitektura može interpretirati kao primer političke umetnosti.Sokol movement represented a very important and unique way of struggle for unification of Southern Slovenes; therefore its role in the constitution of Yugoslav identity in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians was significant. Nourishing sport as a symbol of harmony between body, soul, and spirit de facto promoted physical training as the road towards true Yugoslavism. The main purpose of this paper is to consider elements of ideology and propaganda which were present in the aesthetics and visual presentation in the Sokol architecture. It can be concluded by analyzing principles of Sokol movement to what extent it influenced architecture of Sokol houses. The connection between Sokol movement and Yugoslav ideology suggests a closer look at the political events which directly influenced the process of building-up and stylistic development of Sokol houses. The building expansion of Sokol houses throughout the Kingdom of Yugoslavia matches the dictatorship of King Alexander Karadjordjević I, which clearly implies there has been a strong connection and support between the Sokols and the crown. The political dimension of Sokol movement has undoubtedly communicated with the concept of true Yugoslavism. Changes which have occurred in 1934, the assassination of King Alexander as well as problems with the Catholic Church considering the amount of influence Sokol movement had on Catholic members. This resulted in a major fall in building program of Sokols up until 1941. Through an analysis of political influence on architecture of Sokol houses, as well as aesthetics and ideology, a conclusion can be drawn about the social system of the time. Therefore, Sokol architecture can be interpreted as an example of political art

Manufacturing system and enterprise management for Industry 4.0: Guest editorial

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) represents a significant step in the processes transformation in practically every industry, where the smart concept emerges in autonomous decisions and cyber-physical systems based production systems [1]. The role played by the usually referred technological pillars of I4.0 (such as internet of things (IoT), horizontal and vertical system integration, simulation, autonomous robots, big data and analytics, augmented reality, additive manufacturing, cloud computing and cybersecurity), based on technological advancements (mainly Information and Communications Technology (ICT)), in adhering to I4.0, are well known by the industry and academia (attending the huge number of research papers available), and have being implemented with more or less success. Notwithstanding the significant expected opportunities and impact of the fourth industrial revolution identified by researchers, experts are not convinced that the changes will be as significant as forecasted [2 - 4]. According to [5], only rare and recent attempts to understand the critical success factors of I4.0 implementation in manufacturing companies can be found in literature. A few recent studies reviewed in [5], point out that some of the critical factors are related to the management for I4.0. Cumulatively, the research in the field of management for I4.0, is still scarce, compared with the research on technologies for I4.0. The title of this Special Issue “Manufacturing System and Enterprise Management for Industry 4.0” is aligned with that concern and its content should be seen as a contribution to overcome management deficit problem of I4.0 implementation success. Nowadays, the challenges are related to the way how I4.0 is implemented and managed, in order to achieve the desired outcomes, economic, environmental, and social.First, our acknowledgments and greatest thanks go to Professor Bosko Rasuo, Editor-in-Chief of the FME Transactions, for his highest support and professionalism and, more importantly, his highest collaboration, understanding and patience during the development of this Special Issue.

Management, Technology and Learning for Individuals, Organisations and Society in Turbulent Environments

This book presents the collection of fifty two papers which were presented on the First International Conference on BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY ’08 - Management, Technology and Learning for Individuals, Organisations and Society in Turbulent Environments, held in Ofir, Portugal, from 25th to 27th of June, 2008. The main motive of the meeting was the growing awareness of the importance of the sustainability issue. This importance had emerged from the growing uncertainty of the market behaviour that leads to the characterization of the market, i.e. environment, as turbulent. Actually, the characterization of the environment as uncertain and turbulent reflects the fact that the traditional technocratic and/or socio-technical approaches cannot effectively and efficiently lead with the present situation. In other words, the rise of the sustainability issue means the quest for new instruments to deal with uncertainty and/or turbulence. The sustainability issue has a complex nature and solutions are sought in a wide range of domains and instruments to achieve and manage it. The domains range from environmental sustainability (referring to natural environment) through organisational and business sustainability towards social sustainability. Concerning the instruments for sustainability, they range from traditional engineering and management methodologies towards “soft” instruments such as knowledge, learning, creativity. The papers in this book address virtually whole sustainability problems space in a greater or lesser extent. However, although the uncertainty and/or turbulence, or in other words the dynamic properties, come from coupling of management, technology, learning, individuals, organisations and society, meaning that everything is at the same time effect and cause, we wanted to put the emphasis on business with the intention to address primarily the companies and their businesses. From this reason, the main title of the book is “Business Sustainability” but with the approach of coupling Management, Technology and Learning for individuals, organisations and society in Turbulent Environments. Concerning the First International Conference on BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY, its particularity was that it had served primarily as a learning environment in which the papers published in this book were the ground for further individual and collective growth in understanding and perception of sustainability and capacity for building new instruments for business sustainability. In that respect, the methodology of the conference work was basically dialogical, meaning promoting dialog on the papers, but also including formal paper presentations. In this way, the conference presented a rich space for satisfying different authors’ and participants’ needs. Additionally, promoting the widest and global learning environment and participativeness, the Conference Organisation provided the broadcasting over Internet of the Conference sessions, dialogical and formal presentations, for all authors’ and participants’ institutions, as an innovative Conference feature. In these terms, this book could also be understood as a complementary instrument to the Conference authors’ and participants’, but also to the wider readerships’ interested in the sustainability issues. The book brought together 97 authors from 10 countries, namely from Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Sweden and United Kingdom. The authors “ranged” from senior and renowned scientists to young researchers providing a rich and learning environment. At the end, the editors hope and would like that this book will be useful, meeting the expectation of the authors and wider readership and serving for enhancing the individual and collective learning, and to incentive further scientific development and creation of new papers. Also, the editors would use this opportunity to announce the intention to continue with new editions of the conference and subsequent editions of accompanying books on the subject of BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY, the second of which is planned for year 2011.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Additionally, promoting the widest and global learning environment and participation, in accordance with the Conference's assumed mission to promote Proactive Generative Collaborative Learning, the Conference Organisation shares/puts open to the community the papers presented in this book, as well as the papers presented on the previous Conference(s). These papers can be accessed from the conference webpage (http://labve.dps.uminho.pt/bs11). In these terms, this book could also be understood as a complementary instrument to the Conference authors’ and participants’, but also to the wider readerships’ interested in the sustainability issues. The book brought together 107 authors from 11 countries, namely from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Switzerland, and United States of America.

Meat consumption: theory, practice and future prospects

This research reviewed human meat consumption and highlighted associated history, challenges and benefits. Selected literature for the manuscript was from relevant titles and reliable international sources. From early times of the mankind meat consumption and animal husbandry were inseparable parts of living, and with similar consequences as dramatic influence on environment. Human need for meat consumption fueled development of large world markets with incredible trade, processing and consumption. This overconsumption has caused health problems associated with high intake of cholesterol and sodium chloride. Another problem with meat consumption is the use of additives in processed products. In modern time these problems are tackled by the use of additives from plants that have health benefits. Thermal processing is yet another problem with meat consumption that food industry and science addresses by non-thermal replacements (e. g. high-pressure processing and electrotechnologies). Recently, interesting alternatives for meat processing included 3D Printing that is able to engineer admirable meat products from by-products. However, this technology might need to employ enzymes such as transglutaminase, associated with potential health problems and misleading the customers. Unfortunately, fraudulent activities are common for meat products and it would be prudent to organize enforcement centers with at least police and analysts skilled in chemometrics and various laboratory techniques for food defense. It seems as humankind expands it will seek more proteins from plant, insects, unicellular biomass, and synthetic meat than from the animal origin, however all of the alternatives must be carefully evaluated against consumer acceptance, public health and environmental concerns
