Selected Lila Prap\u27s informative picture books
No full textNamen diplomskega dela je bil predstaviti Liljano Praprotnik Zupančič kot avtorico besedila in ilustratorko njenih avtorskih slikanic. Avtorica, ki ustvarja pod umetniškim imenom Lila Prap, ustvarja leposlovne-informativne slikanice. Otroci uživajo ob prebiranju njenih slikanic in se obenem veliko tudi naučijo. Osredotočila sem se na osnovne značilnosti slikanice in avtorico Lilo Prap. Da bi bolje spoznala avtorico in njena dela, sem analizirala dve njeni avtorski deli. V vrtcu sem skozi dejavnosti otrokom deli tudi predstavila. Ker sem se osredotočila na domače živali, ki so otrokom v predbralnem obdobju najbližje, sem si izbrala slikanici Pasji zakaji in Mačji zakaji. V obeh slikanicah je informativni del ločen od leposlovnega. To opazimo po tipologiji, saj se pisave med seboj vidno razlikujejo. Na vsaki strani pa so dodane tudi ilustracije, ki s svojimi barvami in šaljivostjo privabljajo otroško pozornost in zanimanje. V vrtcu sem obe deli predstavila in jih preko dejavnosti vpeljala v njihovo trenutno naravoslovno temo o domačih živalih. V diplomskem delu sem si zastavila dve hipotezi, ki sem ju v sklepnem delu tudi predstavila in potrdila. Slikanice imajo pozitiven vpliv na otroka in izbrani slikanici sta primerni za predšolske otroke.The purpose of this thesis is to introduce Lilijana Praprotnik Zupančič as the author and illustrator of her picture books. The author writes under her pen name Lila Prapshe writes belletristic and informational picture books. Children enjoy reading her picture books and they learn through reading. The thesis describes the characteristics of picture books. The thesis focuses on the author Lili Prap and the analysis of two of her picture books. The children in the kindergarten were acquainted with her books through activities. The focus was on domestic animals that the children in the pre-reading stage are familiar withthus, the chosen picture books were Pasji zakaji (Doggy Whys) and Mačji zakaji (Cat Whys). In both picture books, the informational part is separated from the belletristic partthis is evident from typology, since the scripts of both parts differ from each other. Each book page contains colorful and humorous illustrations that attract children’s attention and interest. Both works were presented to the children in the kindergarten and were, through activities, introduced as part of their natural science theme about domestic animals. The thesis has two hypotheses, which are described and confirmed in the conclusion. Picture books have a positive effect on children. The two presented picture books are suitable for preschool children
Emotional competencies of leaders
No full textZ magistrskim delom je avtorica želela odgovoriti na raziskovalno vprašanje, s katerimi vidiki oziroma pojmi lahko pojasnimo, kako vodstveni kader dojema čustveno razsežnost poslovnih odnosov oziroma svojo čustveno kompetentnost? Avtorica je uporabila metodo osnovane teorije. Empirične podatke za raziskavo je pridobila s poglobljenimi intervjuji, ki jih je opravila z vodstvenim kadrom v enem izmed slovenskih podjetij. Avtorica je najprej opredelila številne teme in vidike vodenja, povezane s čustveno razsežnostjo poslovnih odnosov oziroma s čustveno kompetentnostjo vodij (npr. motivacija, ideje, stres, dobro počutje in podobno). V nadaljevanju je na podlagi procesa kodiranja opredelila model čustveno kompetentnega vodenja, ki temelji na štirih glavnih kategorijah: vodje in njihovo dojemanje poslovnih odnosov, vodje in njihovo vodenje samih sebe, vodje in njihovo dojemanje ter vodenje sodelavcev in izzivi vodij, povezani s čustveno razsežnostjo poslovnih odnosov. Avtorica je posamezne kategorije podrobneje obravnavala s podrednimi kategorijami in dobljene rezultate primerjala z obstoječimi raziskavami ter teorijami. Prva tri področja so nastala kot posledica avtoričinega osredotočanja na pozitivne vidike vodenja, četrto področje pa je nastalo kot posledica omenjenih težav vodij. Na koncu je avtorica podala osnovne smernice za reševanje teh izzivov.
Magistrsko delo je doprinos pri prenosu spoznanj, povezanih z modelom relacijske družinske terapije, v poslovno okolje, natančneje na področje vodenja. V tujini sicer obstaja precej raziskav o tem, katere vse so spretnosti odličnih vodij, bolj malo ali pa zelo razpršeno pa je napisano o tem, kako je nek vodja do svojih spretnosti prišel oziroma kako jih je razvil. Poleg tega manjka celovit pogled na to tematiko (kaj vse zajema). Rezultati raziskovalnega dela lahko prinašajo koristne informacije predvsem tistim strokovnjakom, ki se ukvarjajo z vodstvenim kadrom, samemu vodstvenemu kadru ter strokovnjakom s področja relacijske zakonske terapije, ki želijo prepletati ta spoznanja s poslovnim okoljem.With her MA Thesis, the author wanted to answer the following research question: With which aspects or concepts can we explain how leaders perceives the emotional dimension of business relations or emotional competencies by themselves? The author used the grounded theory method. She obtained the empirical data for the survey through in-depth interviews with the leaders in one manufacturing company. The survey has shown a wide range of areas that are related to the emotional dimension of business relationships: motivation, stress, change, emotional management, conflicts and so on. On the basis of the encoding process, the author developed a model of emotionally competent leadership, which is based on four main categories: leaders and their perception of business relations, leaders and their perception of self and leading themselves, leaders and their perception of employees and leading them, leaders and their challenges, connected with the emotional dimension of business relations. Individual categories were additionally explained with subordinate categories and the leader\u27s perceptions were compared with the existing research and theories. The first three areas were created as a result of the author\u27s focus on positive aspects of leadership, and the fourth area emerged as a result of identification of the key challenges that leaders are facing in these areas, and at the same time author gave some basic guidelines for dealing with them.
The master\u27s thesis is a contribution to the transfer of knowledge related to the model of relational family therapy into the business environment, more specifically in the field of leadership. This area is in context of the excellent leader\u27s skills well researched in other countries, but little or very scattered is written about how a leader has come to his skills or how he has developed them. In addition, there is a lack of a comprehensive view of this topic (what covers this area). The results of the research work can provide useful information especially to professionals involved in the leadership, the leaders themselves and experts in the field of relational family therapy who want to integrate these information with the business environment
A Jesuit report about riots at border line in 1658 and 1666 and Gabrijel Mijakić bishop of Marča (1663-1670)
No full textAutor analizira isusovačko izvješće o krajiškim pobunama sredinom 17. stoljeća i o ulozi marčanskih biskupa u njima. Uspoređuje taj izvor s ostalim suvremenim izvorima o navedenim bunama i događajima koji su doveli do uhićenja biskupa Gabrijela Mijakića i ustoličenja novoga marčanskoga biskupa Pavla Zorčića.In this article author presents a report of an anonymous Jesuit. This report about frontiers’ mutinies in 1658 and 1666 is a valuable historical source that contains important information about participation of the Uniate bishop of Marča in these events, and especially about aforementioned Gabrijel Mijakić. According to this report all the bishops of Marča in the period between 1630 and 1670 were responsible for all the uprisings of frontiers because they were political representatives of all the frontiers and protectors of their privileges commonly known as Statuta Valachorum, which were kept in the monastery of Marča. Since bishops often interpreted these privileges vaguely, they in fact encouraged frontiers’ mutinies. Moreover, they were guilty for the failure of the church union because they did not accept Catholicism, though they formally accepted it only in order to gain an independent diocese. In fact they remained Orthodox believers and were subordinated to the patriarch of Ipek. The author of the report explicitly wrote that bishop Sava Stanislavić directly had encouraged uprising in 1658. By the same token, he witnessed that Gabrijel Mijakić indirectly supported Stefan Osmokurovć, who was the leader of the mutiny in 1666. Moreover, anonymous Jesuit claimed that Mijakić also gave shelter to the rebels after the mutiny was put down. However, this failure of the rebellion forced Mijakić to start spreading union among Vlachs, to organize Catholic schools for frontiers’ Orthodox youth. Finally, Mijakić also accepted to go to Rome to be formally appointed to his duty by pope, since he was so afraid when he saw in which severe manner mutiny was put down by Herberstein colonel of Kriûevci. In this report Petar Petretić bishop of Zagreb was evaluated as the most important person regarding the putting down the mutiny. Even before this mutiny Petretić was strongly against Mijakić’s appointment to the rank of bishop of Marča, since he was not a true Uniate. However, though Mijakić enjoyed support of some of the nobles from Slavonia, after he came back from Rome without pope’s inauguration archbishop of Kalocs and bishop of Zagreb officially requested his replacement and support of the military authorities. Unfortunately, soon after this request bishop of Zagreb died, and this prolonged the process of Mijakić’s imprisonment, especially since the War Council in Graz was not eager to fulfill bishop’s request. According to the report Mijakić himself provoked his imprisonment in September 1670, since he encouraged clergy to attack parish priest Pavao Zorčić, who was protégé of deceased bishop Petritić. Now Mijakić was replaced and new bishop of Marča became Pavao Zorčić, who was not supported neither by clergy neither by Vlachs. This opposition provoked military authorities to imprison several monks. However, during his time Zorčić constantly met opposition of Orthodox monks and Vlach who did not want to accept him as a bishop
Evaluation of the LDPM elastic and fracture parameters by up-scaling procedure
No full textThe heterogeneity of the concrete may be considered on different size scales of observation, ranging from the atomistic scale (10-10m), characterized by the behavior of crystalline particles of hydrated Portland cement, to the macroscopic scale (101 m), where concrete has traditionally been considered homogeneous. The multiscale framework we are proposing in this paper is based on the following models: chemical analyses at the cement paste scale; mechanical lattice model at the cement and mortar scales; geometrical aggregate distribution models at the mortar and concrete scales; and the Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) at the concrete scale. For that purpose, a set of analysis starting from a known set of parameters of the cement paste. This input is utilized to evaluate the mechanical properties of the mortars (cement and sand), and then these properties are used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the mortar-a4 (mortar-s and aggregate smaller then 4mm). The upscaling in the proposed methodology involved the evaluation of the LDPM concrete parameters based on the mortara4 properties. Here we are suggesting a uni-axial tension "numerical experiments" on the mortar-a4 scale to evaluate the elastic and fracture LDPM mechanical parameters.Materials and Environmen
Quantification the filling of microcracks due to Autogenous self-healing in cement paste
No full textMicrocracks play vital roles in the prediction of the service life of concrete structure. Because microcracks in concrete structure are the preferential ingression channels for aggressive ions, e.g., chloride, sulphate, etc. However, microcracks have potentials to self-heal autogenously due to the continuous hydration of unhydrated cement, especially when ultra-/ high strength concrete is used. To quantify the autogenous self-healing effects of microcracks in cement paste, our experiment is designed to monitor the self-healing process of microcracks in cement paste continuously by using optical microscope. The healing products are quantified by image analysis with newly implemented software in MATLAB. The results indicate that the microcracks are not filled evenly along the crack length and most healing products are Ca(OH)2, which dissolve partly from the paste matrix and re-nucleate in the microcrack, in addition to its counterpart from the continuous hydration of unhydrated cement. Furthermore, the sample cracked at earlier age shows higher potential to heal, while the sample with smaller crack width experiences greater filling efficiency. The obtained autogenous selfhealing mechanism will be used in the future simulation.Materials and Environmen
Hot Mix Asphalt Plants
No full textU radu autor objašnjava proizvodnju vrućih asfaltnih mješavina. U uvodu rada kratko je opisan povijesni razvoj asfaltnih mješavina te je dan pregled tipova. U teorijskom dijelu rada opisane su dvije vrste postrojenja za proizvodnju asfaltnih mješavina: bubanjsko postrojenje s kontinuiranom proizvodnjom i postrojenje u kojem se asfaltna mješavina proizvodi po šaržama. Opisani su dijelovi postrojenja te je dan osvrt na njihova njihove sličnosti i razlike. Zaključno, može se reći da su današnje asfaltne baze moderna postrojenja u kojima se prilikom proizvodnje asfaltne mješavine nastoji što je moguće više smanjiti utrošak energije, očuvati prirodni resursi te okoliš.In the paper, the author explains the production of hot asphalt mixtures. The introduction to the paper briefly describes the historical development of asphalt mixtures and provides an overview of types. In the theoretical part of the paper, two types of plants for the production of asphalt mixtures are described: a drum plant with continuous production and a plant in which the asphalt mixture is produced in batches. The parts of the plant are described and a review of their similarities and differences is given. In conclusion, it can be said that today's asphalt bases are modern plants in which the production of asphalt mix endeavour to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, preserve natural resources and the environment
The Simbolismin the work of Gabriel Jurkic on the beginning and end of World War: Truth between the real and unreal
No full textPolazeći od konstatacije da nijedna od brojnih analiza djela Gabriela Jurkića ne zalazi u dublju analizu njegova simbolizma u okviru secesije, Clara Tomic Bleibtreu na primjeru dviju slika, Visoravan u cvatu (1914.) i Kod ovaca (1918.), pokazuje semiološkom analizom kako su početak i kraj Prvoga svjetskog rata te period secesije utjecali emocionalno i simboliški na djelo Gabriela Jurkića. Autorica zaključuje kako na prvi pogled realni elementi pejzaža na tim slikama ne prikazuju realnost, nego interveniraju u pejzažu transformirajući njegovu realnost u nove simboličke horizonte.The work of Gabrijel Jurkić must be viewed within the frame of idealism which characterizes symbolism. Selecting two pictures, Clara Bleibtreu Tomic conducts a semiological analysis of the symbolism of the fact that the first picture, Visoravan u cvatu (Hillside in bloom), was created at the beginning of the war, in Sarajevo, in spring 1914 in the artist's studio which stood 300 meters from the place where the Austro-Hungarian Archcluke was assassinated thus at the very place and moment of the outbreak of war. Although nothing in this painting visually interprets the war, Visoravon u cvatu directly symbolizes events which followed that spring. The author explains the picture's symbolism through the composition of the ground which can be seen beneath the margaritas (the legendary Field of Kupres) and through the symbol of margarita/Margaret and the painting technique.
In the second picture, which dates from the end of the war in autumn 1918 and carries the name Kod ovaca (Among the sheep), the author analyses the symbols of sheep/Lamb of God, of the shepherdess who in the picture resembles the Virgin Mary, and the spindle which she holds in her hand, which, since the time of Athena and via the Sleeping Beauty myth, symbolizes innocence, and the symbol of the green-tinted sky which is not the real colour of sky but an artistic value which carries the significance that this picture stands at the "beginning of things".
The author concludes that the apparently realistic landscapes of Gabrijel Jurkić have new horizons which integrate elements within the landscape that do not represent reality, but which intervene in the landscape in order to convey icleas that the author wishes to express. The totality of the picture's meaning arises from the interpretation of those nonrealistic motifs which carry ideas and of their relations, such as a field of flowers that is impassable, or a landscape without paths, which are not in fact needed, because all the signs conveyed by the picture lead only one way, towards the green-tinted sky which envelopes the landscape
