Učinki korporativnega namena na organizacijske inovacije
Get PDFPurpose: The current study has two primary goals: first, to examine the influence of corporate purpose on organizational innovation and second, to analyze the sequential mediation effect of both a people-centric approach and infrastructure between corporate purpose and organizational innovation. Design/Methodology: A sequential explanatory mixed-method design was used in this study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and PROCESS macro were applied based on 188 online questionnaires completed by employees of a leading Portuguese publishing company, followed by a thematic analysis of 37 structured interviews. Results: The quantitative findings indicate that corporate purpose has a positive impact on organizational innovation and that both the people-centric approach and organizational infrastructure serve as significant mediators in the relationship between corporate purpose and organizational innovation. Moreover, the people-centric approach and organizational infrastructure sequentially mediate the relationship between corporate purpose and organizational innovation. The qualitative data corroborate and deepen these findings, revealing the crucial role of a people-centric approach and organizational infrastructure as mediators in corporate purpose to cope with organizational innovation. Conclusions: Our study provides theoretical and practical implications for practitioners, researchers, and business leaders to better understand the relationship between these concepts and opportunities for further research.Namen: Raziskava ima dva glavna cilja: prvič, preučiti vpliv korporativnega namena na organizacijske inovacije in drugič, analizirati zaporedni mediacijski učinek tako pristopa, usmerjenega v ljudi, kot tudi infrastrukture med korporativnim namenom in organizacijskimi inovacijami. Načrt/Metodologija: V raziskavi je bil uporabljen zaporedni pojasnjevalni načrt z uporabo mešanih metod. Izvedeni sta bili potrditvena faktorska analiza (CFA) in uporaba orodja PROCESS, temelječa na 188 spletnih vprašalnikih, ki so jih izpolnili zaposleni v vodilnem portugalskem založniškem podjetju. Temu je sledila tematska analiza 37 strukturiranih intervjujev. Rezultati: Kvantitativne ugotovitve kažejo, da ima korporativni namen pozitiven vpliv na organizacijske inovacije ter da pristop, usmerjen v ljudi, in organizacijska infrastruktura predstavljata pomembna mediatorja v odnosu med korporativnim namenom in organizacijskimi inovacijami. Poleg tega pristop, usmerjen v ljudi, in organizacijska infrastruktura zaporedno mediirata odnos med korporativnim namenom in organizacijskimi inovacijami. Kvalitativni podatki te ugotovitve potrjujejo in poglabljajo ter razkrivajo ključno vlogo pristopa, usmerjenega v ljudi, in organizacijske infrastrukture kot mediatorjev pri uresničevanju korporativnega namena za spopadanje z izzivi organizacijskih inovacij. Sklepi: Raziskava ponuja teoretične in praktične implikacije za praktike, raziskovalce in vodje za boljše razumevanje odnosa med temi koncepti ter ponuja priložnosti za nadaljnje raziskave

Prav zato je v porastu tudi digitalni marketing na družbenih medijih, ki ga že uporablja večina majhnih in velikih podjetij v različnih panogah. V gostinski panogi je konkurenca velika in zato je zelo pomembno, da podjetja sledijo trendom, saj jih drugače hitro pozabijo. Prav zaradi tega smo naredili poskus, s katerim smo želeli preveriti, kako te digitalne marketinške strategije vplivajo na uporabnike družbenih medijev. Prav tako smo želeli preveriti, ali zares vplivajo na nakupne poti uporabnikov in ali jih lahko z objavami vsebine na družbenih medijih spremenimo v dejanske stranke podjetja. Za izvedbo poskusa smo izbrali podjetje Picerija Panda, ki je že bilo prisotno na družbenih medijih Facebook in Instagram. Vsebine smo objavljali pet tednov. Izdelali smo marketinško strategijo, kjer smo spremljali doseg, prikaze in interakcijo sledilcev z objavami in zgodbami. Ugotovili smo, da prisotnost in redno objavljanje na družbenih medijih zares vpliva na nakupne poti uporabnikov in da vsebina, kot so nagradne igre, sproži veliko interakcije. Ugotovitve, do katerih smo prišli, bodo služile za nadaljnje raziskovanje vpliva digitalnega marketinga na družbenih medijih na nakupne poti strank.Nowadays, most people are present on social media. That is why digital marketing on social media is also on the rise, and most small and large companies in various industries are already using it. The competition in the hospitality industry is high, and therefore it is vital for companies to follow trendsotherwise, customers will quickly forget them. That is why we experimented to investigate the impact of these digital marketing strategies on social media users. We also wanted to check if these really affect the purchasing paths of users and if we can turn them into actual customers of the company by publishing content on social media. To conduct the experiment, we chose the company Picerija Panda, which was already present on social media, Facebook and Instagram. We published the content for five weeks. We developed a marketing strategy where we monitored the reach, views, and interaction of followers with our posts and stories. We found that presence and regular posting on social media really affect the purchasing paths of users, and that content such as giveaways receives much interaction. The findings we have come to will serve to further explore the topic of the impact of digital marketing on social media on customer purchase paths
The technique and tactics of sailing in single-handed sailboats
Get PDFJadranje je bilo opredeljeno kot eden izmed bolj zanimivih športov, saj je bilo in je povezano z naravo. Pri jadranju so bile ugotovljene razlike med jadralci glede na število storjenih napak, pri čemer je bil manjši delež napak pripisan določenim jadralcem. Zelo dobro poznavanje vseh naravnih dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na hitrost jadrnice, mora biti zagotovljeno, prav tako mora biti razloženo, kako so sile, ki delujejo na jadrnico, uporabljene v prid njenega gibanja. Posebno pozornost moramo posvetiti tudi jadralčevi fizični in psihični pripravljenosti.
V diplomskem delu so bile povzete vse osnovne in pomembne terminologije jadranja, vremenski pojavi, tehnika, taktika in pravila jadranja, kar je bilo ocenjevano kot primerno za vse, ki želijo pridobiti boljše razumevanje delovanja enosedih jadrnic in pravil, ki se zanje uporabljajo.Sailing is one of the more interesting sports as it is connected to nature. Differences are made between sailors based on who makes fewer mistakes. A very good understanding of all the natural factors that can affect the speed of the boat is required.

Construction of a humidity control system for development of a one finger gripper for a nanoprecise robot
Get PDFZa namene nadaljnjega razvoja enoprstega prijemala nanopreciznega robota smo v
okviru diplomskega dela izdelali enosmerni regulacijski sistem vlažnosti. Tega smo
opremili z lastno izdelanim hitrim senzorskim sistemom, aktuatorjem na osnovi silikagela
in mikrokrmilnikom s serijsko komunikacijo ter diskretnim PI regulatorjem. Pri izdelavi
smo uporabili moderne pristope, kot so hitra izdelava prototipov, parametrično
računalniško modeliranje in modularna zasnova. Čeprav regulacijskega sistema nismo
uspeli povezati z obstoječim nadzornim sistemom nanopreciznega robota v celovito
enoto zaradi arhitekturnih nekompatibilnosti, smo pokazali, da je sposoben uspešno
regulirati vlažnost.To enable future development of a nano-precise robot compatible one-finger gripper we
created a unidirectional closed-loop humidity control system within the scope of the
thesis. We equipped it with a self-made fast senor system, a silica gel based actuator and
a microcontroller with serial communication and a discrete PI controller. During the
system\u27s creation we employed the use of modern approaches, such as rapid
prototyping, computer based parametric modeling and modular design. Even though we
were unable to connect the humidity control system with the rest of the nano-precise
robot system due to architectural incompatibilities, we have demonstrated that it is
capable of humidity control
Influence of welding on the mechanical properties of steel SA 500
Get PDFMagistrsko delo obravnava vpliv varjenja na mehanske lastnosti jekla SA 500 z dodajnim materialom EZ - MIG 307 Si. Uporabljen osnovni material spada med protibalistična jekla, ki imajo dobre mehanske lastnosti, zlasti trdnost in trdoto. Ker varjenje degradira osnovni material, bomo analizirali njegov vpliv na mehanske lastnosti. Izvedli smo natezni preskus, instrumentiran Charpyjev preskus in merjenje trdote po Vickersu. Z omenjenimi mehanskimi preskusi smo potrdili, da ima osnovni material visoko trdnost in trdoto, vendar je dokaj krhek. Z vnosom toplote (varjenjem) se ta krhkost odpravi in material postane bolj žilav, vendar se mu drastično zmanjšata trdnost in trdota.The master\u27s thesis examines the impact of welding on the mechanical properties of SA 500 steel with the filler material EZ-MIG 307 Si. The base material used is among the anti-ballistic steels, which have good mechanical properties, especially strength and hardness. Because welding degrades the base material, we will analyze its impact on the mechanical properties. Tensile tests, instrumented Charpy tests and Vickers hardness measurements were performed. These mechanical tests confirmed that the base material has high strength and hardness but is quite brittle. The input of heat (welding) removes this brittleness and makes the material tougher, but drastically reduces its strength and hardness
Virtual reality simulations for training chemical engineers in safe process operation
Get PDFV magistrskem delu je prikazana uporaba interaktivnih simulacijskih okolij v virtualni resničnosti pri usposabljanju študentov in kemijskih inženirjev za varno vodenje procesov. Namen naloge je prikazati pomen virtualne resničnosti in možnosti, ki jih ta tehnologija ponuja na področju kemijskega inženirstva. Večina študentov ob koncu študija namreč nima predstave o obsegu in kompleksnosti delovanja kemijskih obratov zaradi omejenih možnosti pridobivanja praktičnih izkušenj med študijem. Zaradi vedno večje kompleksnosti in višje stopnje avtomatizacije v kemijski industriji pa primanjkuje tudi ustreznih vsebin za usposabljanje kemijskih inženirjev pri reševanju izrednih ali nevarnih situacij.
Z uporabo programske opreme TSC Simulation smo izvajali dinamične tridimenzionalne simulacije procesa trifazne separacije surove nafte, pri katerih smo upravljali s procesom, rokovali s procesnimi enotami in se seznanili z delovanjem regulacijskih zank ter varnostnih sistemov v obratu. Izvajali smo dinamične simulacije postopkov, ki se v realnih obratih izvajajo občasno in predstavljajo varnostni izziv, npr. zagon in zaustavitev procesa. Poleg tega smo izvajali dinamične simulacije odpovedi procesnih naprav in napak v sistemu, kjer smo predstavili načine za identifikacijo okvar in pripravo načrtov za njihovo odpravo. Scenariji so vključevali napake v delovanju regulacijskih zank, odpovedi procesne opreme (ventilov, črpalk) in sprožitve varnostnih sistemov v nujnih situacijah. S pridobljenim znanjem smo oblikovali tudi lastno simulacijo procesa, ki je namenjena usposabljanju kadra za pripravljenost na večje kognitivne obremenitve, poleg tega pa spodbuja analitično razmišljanje ter sodelovanje med operaterji v nadzorni sobi in procesnimi tehnologi v obratu. Rezultat dela je nabor scenarijev, ki predstavljajo za študente edinstveno in celovito izkušnjo obvladovanja virtualnega procesa, saj povezujejo osnovna kemijsko-inženirska znanja z znanji regulacije, dinamike, separacije, optimizacije in varnosti procesov. Z njimi smo prikazali, kako bi simulacije virtualne resničnosti vključili v učni proces oz. ustvarili mikrodokazila za usposabljanje kadra v industriji.The master\u27s thesis demonstrates the use of interactive simulation environments in virtual reality for training students and chemical engineers in process safety management. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the importance of virtual reality and the possibilities this technology offers in the field of chemical engineering. At the end of their studies, most students have limited understanding of the scope and complexity of chemical plant operations due to insufficient opportunities to gain practical experience during their studies. Due to the increasing complexity and higher degree of automation in the chemical industry, there is also a lack of suitable content for training chemical engineers in dealing with emergencies or hazardous situations.
Using TSC Simulation software, we performed dynamic three-dimensional simulations of the three-phase separation process of crude oil, in which we managed the process, handled process units, and familiarized ourselves with the operation of control loops and safety systems in the plant. We performed dynamic simulations of procedures that are performed occasionally in real plants and pose a safety challenge, such as process start-up and shutdown. In addition, we performed dynamic simulations of process equipment failures and system errors, where we presented methods for identifying faults and preparing plans for their repair. The scenarios included malfunctions in control loops, failures of process equipment (valves, pumps), and the activation of safety systems in emergency situations. With the knowledge gained, we also designed our own process simulation, which is intended to equip staff in situations with a higher cognitive load, while also encouraging analytical thinking and cooperation between operators in the control room and process engineers in the plant. The result of this work is a collection of scenarios that provide students with unique and comprehensive experience of mastering the virtual process, as they combine basic chemical engineering knowledge with knowledge of process control, dynamics, separation, optimization, and safety. With these scenarios, we have demonstrated how process simulations in virtual reality could be incorporated into the learning process or used to create micro-credentials for staff training in industry
