Control and physical intelligence
No full textChapter 5 focuses on biological and synthetic control/intelligence. This chapter of the 2nd edition includes discussion of deep learning, do-it-yourself (DIY) robotic projects, popular microcontrollers, contributed by Marko Popovic as well as material contributed by new co-author Mihailo Lazarevic on fractional PID control approach. All these are quite relevant in the context of biomechatronics research

Uloga boje u gradnji glazbenog oblika u odabranim djelima Marka Ruždjaka / Sound Spaces: The Role of Timbre in Building Musical Form Within a Selection of Marko Ruždjak's Work
No full textSome of the most successful works in the opus of Marko Ruždjak would have been impossible to conceive without the clarinet, the composer’s favourite instrument, as well as wit- hout the guitar, percussion, and voice (soprano, baritone or choir). The author researches how the composer’s choice of instrumental timbres and the voicing of the instruments as solo part or part of a larger sound aggregates (or units) is guided by a singular idea, which can be defi- ned as sound space. The timbre in this context is not conceived just as an element of a two- dimensional unit (building contrasts or overflowing and fusion in the temporal flow), rather it participates in the building of the spatial (and emotional) perspective. It contributes to a building of a specific musical form and expression. Ruždjak’s works have been analyzed through the categories that are linked to the Klangkomposition aesthetics of the Sixties. In the first part of the text, the formal function of individual parameters such as dynamic and regi- ster in the works Passamezzo, Tentatio, Canto peregrino, Versus, Ricercar is analyzed. In the se- cond part of the text, the analysis of Odrazi, Andantino, Notturno is developed through the more complex dimensions such as "static immobile surfaces", "surfaces in movement", "globally static surfaces, flecked with internal movement". They have been deduced from the published and unpublished texts by Györgi Ligeti. The theoretical background for the analysis of the sound's formal functions in the works of Ruždjak is part of the Klangkomposition's aesthetic. Together with the analysis of harmonic and motivic dimensions of the composer's language, they conduct to the possibility of a deeper understanding of the synthesis between various stylistic trajectories that are characteristic for the musical path of Marko Ruždjak

Marko Marulić in German Lexicons and Encyclopedias
Get PDFThe author has surveyed German lexicons, encyclopedias, old and new bookselling inventories and bibliographical compendiums in order to establish the extent to and the manner in which Marko Marulić is represented there, finding out that the earliest such record goes back to 1568, the year in which the bookseller and publisher Georg Willer from Augsburg entered one of Marulić’s printed works into his catalogue issued on the occasion of the autumn fair in Frankfurt (Fig. 1). The author asserts that Willer, the most influential German bookseller of the day, could also have been the publisher of the second German translation of De institutione (Sech Bucher..., Fig.2). Considering the contemporary demand for Marulić’s works, the book should have promised good earnings, which Willer, as experienced publisher and bookseller, surely would not have missed.
Marulić and his works reappear in German sources in the 18th century, when we find his name in large lexicons and collections of universal knowledge (Figs. 3-7).The 19th century was in a particular way interested in incunabula and early 16th century editions, so that it was not before the last quarter of this century that any systematic work was done on the registration of the 16th century editions. In 1969, in Munich, a special committee was established with the purpose of publishing the series entitled Verzeichnis der im deutschen Sprachbereich erscheinenen Drucke des XVI. Jahrhunderts. Thanks to the collaboration of the renown Croatian Slavist and bibliographer, Josip Badalić, in the 13th book of the edition Marulić is represented with twenty editions
Marko Marulić, Pisni razlike (Various Poems)
Get PDFIn her survey of the book printed as an edition of the Complete Works of Marko Marulić, the author informs the reader that the Pisni razlike (Various Poems) contains all Marulić‚s Croatian verses for which his authorship has been proved, with exception of the poem Judita (printed as a separate volume) and his dialogic and dramatic verse, which will be accommodated in another volume of the same series. The present edition, edited by professor Josip Vončina, sticks to the oldest extant manuscript. In his work, the editor proceeds with great scrupulosity, checking every single attribution of his predecessors. Also, he never relies on linguistic and stylistic features of the allegedly authentic works of the poet, but only on Marulić‚s own annotations in, or accompanying, the text, in which the poet openly states his authorship. In this way he establishes a reliable canon of Marulić‚s Croatian poems. In his preface professor J. Vončina sets forth his methodological principles and explains the reasons for his choice in every single case.
The author of the other preface to the same book is Tonko Maroević, who points out the literary-historical and cultural significance of Marulić‚s Croatian poems. The complete vocabulary of Marulić‚s texts in the book was compiled by Milan Moguš.
The author of the survey points to the prevalently medieval character of Marulić‚s verse, drawing the conclusion that the author of the present poems is hardly Marulić we know from the Judita. Yet, this should not be seen as a drawback. On the contrary, the fact adds new quality to his personality, showing him not only as a Renaissance Humanist, but also as a writer who amply drew his ideals from the poetics and rich spiritual culture of the Croatian Middle Ages
The people behind the papers - Yonit Maroudas-Sacks and Marko Popovic
No full textDuring Hydra regeneration, supracellular actomyosin fibres are disoriented at two distinct foci of the regenerating tissue. These sites of nematic topological defects eventually form the new head and foot of the regenerated animal. In a new study, Yonit MaroudasSacks, Marko Popovic, Kinneret Keren and colleagues propose a positive-feedback loop that incorporates fibre organisation, tissue strain and morphogen gradients to promote head organiser formation. To find out more about the work, we caught up with first author Yonit Maroudas-Sacks and co-corresponding author Marko Popovic, Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Germany
