Ideas from Baudrillard\u27s The Perfect Crime in Ning Ken\u27s novel Three Trios
No full textRoman Trije trii, ki je prvič izšel leta 2014, je prvo literarno delo, napisano v stilu, ki se imenuje ultra nerealno. Avtor romana je kitajski pisatelj Ning Ken, ki je ustvaril ta literarni stil. Roman je edinstven zaradi uporabe dveh različnih tipov besedil, to sta navadno besedilo in besedilo sprotnih opomb. Te Ning Ken uporabi kot enega od nosilcev pripovedi in ne le kot prostor za podajanje krajših pojasnil. Druga posebnost romana je, da se v njem prepletajo štiri različne pripovedne plasti. Roman je tudi zelo medbesedilen. V njem se večkrat pojavijo citati iz drugih literarnih in znanstvenih del, ki segajo vse od kitajske klasike Premene iz dinastije Zhou do idej francoskega postmodernističnega filozofa Jeana Baudrillarda. V magistrskem delu se osredotočam na povezave med romanom Trije trii in Baudrillardovim delom Popoln zločin. Ning Ken je v svojem romanu citiral delo Popoln zločin in Baudrillardove ideje tudi skopo komentiral. Baudrillardove ideje so v romanu Trije trii izrazito prisotne v eni izmed štirih narativnih plasti romana. Ta narativna plast se ukvarja s trpljenjem Juyan Zeja, ki ga pod vodstvom tajne skupine ZAZ zaslišuje avantgardni umetnik Fang Weiwei. Osrednja teza magistrskega dela je, da Ning Ken v romanu večkrat aludira na ideje iz Popolnega zločina. Povezave med obema deloma so prisotne na treh tematskih področjih, to so popoln zločin, realnost in umetnost.The Three Trios, a novel written by Chinese author Ning Wen and first published in 2014, is the first-ever literary work written in the style of ultra-unreal. The novel is unique in its use of two different text types, i.e., the plain text and the footnotes, the latter of which Ning Ken uses not only to give short explanations but also as a vehicle of the narrative. The novel interweaves four different narrative layers, and is hugely intertextual, quoting literary and scientific works ranging from the Chinese classic The Book of Changes to the ideas of the French postmodernist philosopher Jean Baudrillard. In this master thesis, I have focused on the links between the novel The Three Trios and Baudrillard’s work The Perfect Crime, which Ning Ken quotes several times throughout the novel. Ning also comments on Baudrillard’s ideas, which are present predominantly in one of the novel’s four narrative layers, the layer dealing with the suffering of Juyan Ze, a character interrogated by the avant-garde artist Fang Weiwei under the guidance of the secret group ZAZ. The central thesis of this work is that the ideas presented in The Perfect Crime are alluded to several times in The Three Trios. The connections between the two works are present in three thematic areas – perfect crime, reality, and art
Implications of 228 Incident on Taiwanese Identity
No full textTajvansko družbo sestavljajo različne skupine ljudi, ki se razlikujejo po svojem etničnem ozadju. Na Tajvanu prevladujejo Han Kitajci, ki so na otok prišli v dveh različnih valih: med 16. in 17. stoletjem ter sredi 20. stoletja. Ostali del prebivalcev predstavljajo tajvanski staroselci in novejši migranti. Tajvanska identiteta se je začela razvijati v obdobju japonske kolonialne vlade (1895–1945). Po letu 1945, ko se je na Tajvanu ustalila kitajska nacionalistična vlada, se je tajvanska identiteta kljub politiki sinizacije začela vse bolj ločevati od poistovetenja s celinsko Kitajsko. Odnos med otoškimi lokalnimi prebivalci in novimi kitajskimi priseljenci se je v tem obdobju poslabšal, napetosti med tema dvema skupinama pa so izbruhnile v upor, ki se je razširil po celotnem Tajvanu in je znan pod imenom incident 228. Diplomsko delo analizira posebnosti tajvanske identitete, njen razvoj in vlogo incidenta 228. Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati, kakšne so implikacije incidenta 228 na tajvansko identiteto. Pregled in analiza virov sta me vodila do zaključka, da je incident imel izjemno velik vpliv na oblikovanje tajvanske identitete. Incident 228 je zanetil tajvanski nacionalizem, ki je vzpodbudil nastanek gibanj za demokracijo in neodvisnost Tajvana. Incident 228 predstavlja simbol tajvanskega trpljenja in služi kot orožje v boju za tajvansko neodvisnost ter kot svarilo pred krutostjo, ki jo lahko povzroči tuja vlada. Incident 228 lahko predstavlja tudi posledice neuspešne sinizacije, ki je po koncu II. svetovne vojne na Tajvanu povzročila le še večje zavračanje kitajske identitete.Taiwanese society comprises different groups of people who differ in their ethnic backgrounds. The most dominant is the Han Chinese, who came to the island in two waves: between the 16th and 17th centuries, and in the middle of the 20th century. The rest of the population is represented by Taiwanese natives and newer migrants. Taiwanese identity began to develop during the period of the Japanese colonial government (1895–1945). After 1945, when the Chinese nationalist government settled in Taiwan, Taiwanese identity began to increasingly separate from that of mainland China, despite the policy of sinicization. Relations between the island\u27s locals and new Chinese immigrants deteriorated during this period, and tensions between the two groups erupted into a rebellion that spread throughout Taiwan and is known as Incident 228. This thesis analyses the specifics of Taiwanese identity, its development, and the role of incident 228 - the purpose of the thesis is to investigate the implications of incident 228 on Taiwanese identity. A review and analysis of the sources led me to the conclusion that the incident had an extremely large impact on the formation of Taiwanese identity. Incident 228 ignited Taiwanese nationalism, which spurred the emergence of movements for Taiwan’s democratic system and its independence. Incident 228 is a symbol of Taiwanese suffering and serves as a weapon in the fight for Taiwanese independence, and as a warning against the cruelties that can be caused by a foreign government. Incident 228 may also represent the consequences of a failed sinicization that occurred after World War II, which in Taiwan only resulted in an even fiercer rejection of Chinese identity
Analysis of growth in the case of company in the wholesale and retail trade
No full textDiplomski projekt obsega analizo rasti podjetja na primeru slovenskega podjetja Tehnoles d.o.o. Gre za podjetje, ki se ukvarja z suhomontažno gradnjo ter prodajo barv ter gradbenega materiala. Svoje proizvodne in storitve ponujajo tako domačim kot tudi tujim uporabnikom.
V teoretičnem delu diplomskega projekta smo opredelili pojem kaj je rast podjetja, zakaj naj bi podjetje rastlo, kakšni so vzroki za rast podjetja. Osredotočili smo se tudi podbrobneje na oblike rasti podjetja in značilnosti teh oblik rasti.
V aplikativnem delu diplomskega projekta sem izvedla analizo rasti podjetja od leta 2014- 2016 za 5 kazalnikov: sredstva, število zaposlenih za 3 leta, dodana vrednost na zaposlenega, čisti poslovni izzid za 3 leta ter čiste prihodke od prodaje. Na podlagi teh kazalnikov sem ugotovila, da je podjetje rastlo po številu zaposlenih, kar je vidno tudi po indeksu povprečne rasti podjetja, ki je najvišji od vseh. Pri ostalih kazalnikih pa se je pokazalo sorazmerno nihanje.In the thesis the author presents an analysis of a company\u27s growth on the example of the Slovenian company Tehnoles d.o.o.

Position of agencies as regulators
No full textV magistrskem diplomskem delu z naslovom Položaj agencij kot regulatorjev je prikazana zgodovina agencij ter proces agencifikacije kot prenos pristojnosti iz države na neodvisne regulatorje. Sam razvoj agencij je povezan tudi s pojavom regulativne države, ki je nadomestila intervencijsko državo. V Sloveniji področje javnih agencij ureja Zakon o javnih agencijah, ki le-te uvršča med osebe javnega prava za opravljanje regulatornih, razvojnih ali strokovnih nalog v javnem interesu. Javne agencije so pri opravljanju svojih nalog samostojne in neodvisne od trenutne politike, ponujajo pa visoko stopnjo strokovnosti, legitimnosti pri sprejemanju odločitev in usmerjenosti k uporabnikom na posameznem področju. Avtorica se v nadaljevanju magistrskega diplomskega dela osredotoči predvsem na regulatorno nalogo javnih agencij v Sloveniji, na podlagi katere agencija s podeljenim javnim pooblastilom izdaja splošne akte za izvrševanje javnih pooblastil in upravne akte, izvajanje omenjene naloge pa preizkusi še na primerih regulatornih javnih agencij v Sloveniji.The master\u27s thesis titled Position of agencies as regulators presents the history of agencies and the process of agencification as a transmission of competence from state to independent regulators. The developement of agencies is connected with the concept of regulatory state which substituted the state interventionism. In Slovenia the field of agencies is regulated by the Public Agencies Act, which defines it as an entity of public law to perform regulatory, development and expert tasks that are in the public interest. Public agencies are autonomous and independent from politics, but still offer a high degree of professiononalism, legitimacy at decision making and user orientation on specific fields. Later in the master\u27s thesis the author primarily focuses on regulatory tasks of public agencies in Slovenia. On the basis of regulatory tasks the agency with public power issues general acts for enforcing public power and administrative acts. Lastly the author tests the implementation of previously mentioned tasks on actual regulatory public agencies in Slovenia
Contemporary Street Photography on a Photographic Film
No full textNamen magistrskega dela je opisati in raziskati sodobno ulično fotografijo, kakšne so smernice v njej, vprašanja, ki jih zastavlja, kako jo dojemamo danes in kako se ta izraža na fotografskem filmu. Avtorica se v teoretičnem delu najprej dotakne značilnosti klasične ulične fotografije. Nadaljuje z novostmi v sodobni ulični fotografiji, ki se izražajo skozi kompozicijo, sporočilo, motiv in izbiro fotografske opreme. Novitete podpre z deli najuspešnejših fotografov, ki delujejo v tej umetnosti. To so člani največjega fotografskega združenja Magnum Photos (Martin Parr, Richard Kalvar in Bruce Gilden), Gus Powell in Maciej Dakowicz (člana združenja In-Public) ter Michael Wolf kot samostojni umetnik. Nadaljuje z raziskovanjem analogne fotografije ter opisuje kako deluje fotografski film. Našteva novosti na področju analogne fotografije in razloži, zakaj je ta ponovno zaživela med mladimi. V eksperimentalnem delu opisuje testiranje treh različnih barvnih negativnih 35 milimetrskih fotografskih filmov. Na podlagi testov se odloči za film, ki je najbolj ustrezen za fotografiranje sodobne ulične fotografije. Tretji del magistrskega dela vsebuje 15 avtorskih fotografij posnetih na izbrani fotografski film v dveh različnih evropskih mestih. Avtorica se vživi v vlogo sodobnega uličnega fotografa in skuša ujeti najbolj zanimive trenutke urbanega vsakdana. Fotografije so podrobneje opisane z vsemi tehničnimi podatki, likovno analizirane in podprte s kompozicijskimi shemami. Magistrsko delo zaključi z dognanimi ugotovitvami in zaključki.The purpose of the thesis is to describe and explore contemporary street photography: what are its guidelines, which questions does it address, how we perceive it today and how it is expressed in a photographic film. In the theoretical part the author discusses the characteristics of the classical street photography. She continues with novelties in the contemporary street photography, expressed through composition, message, motif and choice of the photographic equipment. The author supports these novelties with the works of the most successful photographers. They are members of the largest photography association Magnum Photo (Martin Parr, Richard Kalvar and Bruce Gilden), Gus Powell and Maciej Dakowicz (members of In-Public) as well as Michael Wolf as an independent artist. In the following chapter she researches analogue photography and describes how a photographic film works. She lists the novelties of analogue photography and explains why it has once again fascinated the young generation. The analysis describes the examination of three different colour negatives of 35mm photographic films. Based on the results, the author then decides which film is best suited for the use in the contemporary street photography. The third part of the master\u27s thesis contains 15 copyrighted photographs taken in two different European cities with the selected photographic film. The author embraced the role of a street photographer and tried to capture the most exciting moments of the urban everyday life. In addition, these photos are precisely described with the technical dataanalysed in an artistic manner and supported with some illustrative sketches of the photos. Her findings and conclusions are summarized in the final chapter
Fostering the development of character strengths and mindfulness to promote student well-being
No full textExperts in the field of education are increasingly emphasizing the importance of children's well-being. The results of numerous studies show that well-being has a significant impact on students' academic and personal development. Well-being is also one of the fundamental areas of study in positive psychology. Researchers in the field of positive psychology mention, among other things, that the development of, and knowledge about, character strengths and mindfulness are two factors that would greatly contribute to the promotion of well-being. This was also the focus of this master's thesis. We focused mainly on the connection between character strengths and mindfulness, as we reviewed the professional literature and found that this correlation has not yet been sufficiently researched, especially not in the field of education. In the theoretical part of this master's thesis, we first presented positive psychology and related theoretical models of well-being. We presented the concepts of mindfulness and character strength, which were placed in the context of school. We defined positive education, that incorporates knowledge from the field of positive psychology into traditional education. In the empirical part of the thesis, we designed and implemented a program to encourage the development of character strengths and mindfulness in primary school students. Using The Stirling Children’s Well-being Scale and a questionnaire about character strengths (The Character Strengths Inventory for Children), we explored how character strengths and mindfulness are related to the well-being of students in the primary school. We also researched how the activities were experienced, which were designed to promote the development of character strengths and mindfulness, by students and the author of this program. The latter was determined by using ongoing evaluation questionnaires for students and written self-reflections of the author of this program. The research was based on a quasi-experiment with elements of action research. We used a causal-experimental method of pedagogical research with several measurements. Students from fifth grade from two different primary schools in Ljubljana in the 2020/21 school year were included in the research. One school was a private school while the other was a public school. The results showed that before the program, students’ had higher results on character strengths of gratitude, love, curiosity and forgiveness than after the program. After the program, however, students had statistically significantly higher result on the character strength of hope. Students’ well-being was higher after the program. Boys and girls did not significantly differ in recognizing the importance of selected character strengths and in well-being. We found that students attending a public and a private school did not statistically differ character strengths and well-being. Students perceived the workshops as interesting and mostly enjoyable. After every workshop, the students were mostly feeling good. The students reported that the workshops were not demanding. After being asked, if they learned a lot of new things, most of them answered “medium”. In her reflections, the author of the program wrote that she experienced the workshops more positively at the public school than at the private school, as the students at the public school participated more during the workshops and showed more enthusiasm; also, boys had greater difficulty calming down during mindfulness exercises compared to girls. The research was carried out during the COVID-19 epidemic, which caused students face several challenging circumstances: schools were closed for a longer period, lessons took place online, classes were quarantined; all this greatly impacted the results of the research
A legal and economic analysis of personal bankruptcy
No full textZakon o finančnem poslovanju, postopkih zaradi insolventnosti in prisilnem prenehanju je 1. oktobra 2008 v slovensko pravo uvedel nov stečajni postopek – postopek osebnega stečaja. Ta je namenjen fizičnim osebam, ki so morale pred njegovo uveljavitvijo tudi v primeru trajnejše nelikvidnosti in dolgoročne plačilne nesposobnosti poplačati vse svoje obveznosti in niso imele možnosti novega finančnega začetka. Postopek osebnega stečaja je poseben insolvenčni postopek, ki se izvede z namenom sorazmernega in istočasnega poplačila navadnih terjatev upnikov. Terjatve, ki med postopkom osebnega stečaja niso poplačane, po koncu postopka še vedno bremenijo dolžnika kot fizično osebo, ki za razliko od pravne osebe, zaradi stečaja ne preneha obstajati. Fakultativno, na predlog stečajnega dolžnika, se znotraj postopka osebnega stečaja izvede tudi postopek odpusta obveznosti, ki vestnemu in poštenemu dolžniku omogoči, da po poteku preizkusnega obdobja prenehajo njegove obveznosti, ki so nastale do začetka postopka osebnega stečaja.
Vse od uveljavitve postopka osebnega stečaja v slovenski pravni red se v javnosti pojavljajo vprašanja o njegovi smiselnosti, saj postopek predstavlja veliko finančno breme za proračune sodišč, ki dopuščajo izvedbo osebnega stečaja, kljub temu, da v večini primerov ni izpolnjen niti primarni namen postopka osebnega stečaja, hkrati pa so še vedno možne zlorabe. Predvsem z namenom preprečitve zlorab je bil postopek osebnega stečaja do danes s številnimi zakonskimi novelami večkrat spremenjen, na temo sprememb so bila napisana mnoga strokovna dela, javnosti pa so postali dostopni tudi statistični podatki o dejanskih učinkih postopka osebnega stečaja. Na podlagi vseh teh podatkov je avtorica s poglobljeno pravno in ekonomsko analizo postopka osebnega stečaja predstavila učinkovitost ureditve tega insolvenčnega instituta pri nas. Avtorica meni, da je tudi pri insolventnih fizičnih osebah potrebno gledati na stečaj kot na zadnje sredstvo ter tako pri zakonskem urejanju postopka osebnega stečaja kot tudi pri njegovem izvrševanju v praksi vselej iskati ravnovesje med nasprotujočimi si interesi dolžnikov in pravicami upnikov.On the 1st of October 2008, Act of Financial Operations, Insolvency Proceedings and Compulsory Dissolution introduced a new bankruptcy process into Slovenian legal system – a personal bankruptcy. Before this Act entered into force, natural persons always had to pay off all their debts. Even in the event of their insolvency, they did not have the possibility of a fresh financial start. Personal bankruptcy is a special insolvency proceeding, carried out with the purpose of proportional and simultaneous payment of ordinary claims of all creditors. Unlike legal person, natural person does not cease to exist at the end of the process, so debts that are not paid during the personal bankruptcy, still have to be payed to the creditors after the end of the process. Only optionally, these debts can be discharged during personal bankruptcy. The purpose of the process of discharge of debts is to enable conscientious and honest debtor to terminate his obligations after the expiry of the probationary period and ensure him right to a fresh start.
Since the personal bankruptcy has become an important institute in the Slovenian legal system, questions of its necessity constantly arise in public. This process presents a great financial burden for courts’ budgets and can be abused by resourceful debtors. In order to prevent such abuses, personal bankruptcy has been amended several times with numerous legislative innovations. A number of professional articles have been drafted on the subject of these changes and statistical data on the actual effects of personal bankruptcy has become publicly available. On the basis of all these data, the author of this thesis has presented a detailed legal and economic analysis of Slovenian personal bankruptcy process and its effectiveness. According to the author, the insolvent natural persons should look at bankruptcy as a last resort. The personal bankruptcy process should always strive to find a balance between the conflicting interests of the debtor to obtain relief from debts on one side and the rights of the creditors to be repaid on the other
