EUROPE OF MONETARY UNITY IN CONTRAST WITH THE EUROPE OF NATIONAL AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY

The history of Europe is riddled with conflict and disagreement between its nations and the present has not managed to erase their traces. The establishment of the European Union, although started as an economic project (EEC), has gained some other dimensions as well: monetary, political and cultural. Not all EU member states are equally interested in each of these dimensions. Old member states, for example, wish to maintain economic development, social and individual standard, their national and cultural identities. New members, on the other hand, expect faster economic development, raising social and individual standard, social security and stability. These differences call into question the functional unity of the EU which definitely requires a common European identity. Transnationalization and cosmopolitization of today's world suppress the European traditionally national orientation. In addition, the pattern of a European standard emerging through a consumption culture demands abandonment of national traditions. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean the emergence of a unitary Europe for an obvious reason: there is significant inequality between European nations. Can perhaps monetary unity be the first important step in overcoming historical differences, economic inequality and national and cultural self-sufficiency? Can common goals of monetary policy, its elastic organization and expansion to new countries contribute to this? These are some of the issues analyzed in this paper, together with the relationship between the Croatian currency kuna and the euro.monetary unity, European identity, functional unity, consumption culture, European Union

HIDRODINAMIČNA SPOJKA I POBOLJŠANJE POGONA KOD NEPREKINUTOG TRANSPORTA

U radu se iznosi teorijska osnova rada hidrodinamičnih (Fottinger) spojka. Prikazane su spojke s konstantnim punjenjem i spojke promjenjive brzine s mogućnošću promjene količine tekućine. Različitost početnog momenta na traci konvejera koji spojke moraju svladati, utječe na dulje vrijeme uhodavanja i mnogostruka povećana naprezanja u traci

METODA IZBORA BRODSKE DIZALICE ZA VIŠENAMJENSKI BROD OVISNO O NJENIM RADNIM BRZINAMA

U radu se istražuje metoda i utjecaj radnih brzina dizalica. Također se istražuje i prekrcajni učin na izbor određenog tipa dizalice za eventualnu ugradnju na brod. Predviđen je višenamjenski brod kapaciteta do 40000 dwt

BRODSKE ELEKTROMAGNETSKE SPOJKE I KOČNICE S LAMELAMA

Kroz rad daje se prikaz utjecaja pojedinih parametara na pravilan rad i pouzdanost brodskih elektromagnetskih spojki i kočnica. Održavanje, mjerenje i kontrola lamela naročito je obrađena, uz razradu uputa i preporuke za ponovnu izradu pojedine vrste lamele

Hand injuries

Autori iz Medicinskog centra u Vinkovcima analizirali su 722 bolesnika s otvorenim ozljedama šake. Bolesnici su razvrstani po dobnim skupinama i po spolu, a vrste ozljeda prikazane su brojčano i tabelarno. Zaključili su da je u cca 200 bolesnika ostao veći ili manji invaliditet. Predlažu mjere kojima bi se utjecalo na poboljšanje rezultata i skraćenje vremena liječenja.Seven hundred and twenty two open hand traumatized patients have been analyzed. Patients have been grouped with respect to age and sex. A variety of lesions are presented numerically, as well as in tabular form. The authors concluded that about two hundred of such patients are handicaped forever, in major or minor ways. Measures are suggested to achieve better results and shorten the time of treatment
