Institutionalizing ASEAN: celebrating Europe through network governance
No full textThis article provides a new piece for two of the puzzles of institutionalized cooperation in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). First, with regard to the organization's four decades of existence, there has always been a marked gap between ASEAN's rhetorical goals of cooperation and its actual achievements. What explains these systematic failures of implementation? Second, from the outset, ASEAN was criticized for its light institutionalization, which failed to deliver the substantial cooperation goals. Despite selected institutional reforms, ASEAN's autonomy has not increased remarkably and it has not made any major institutional innovations. Why does ASEAN design institutions it does not use? Why does this transformation gap occur? The author suggests a sociological institutional explanation and argues that major impulses for cooperation have come from outside Southeast Asia, most importantly from Europe. By mimicking the European integration process, ASEAN member states have effectively created an isomorphic organization. The Association's institutional development reflects a concern for international legitimacy and less an objective functional demand arising from the specific interactions of member states. This copying process has led to network governance within the organization
The Vietnamese Theatrical Tradition in the Plot of Monsun, by Anja Hillin
No full textFrom the dramatic text Monsun by the German author Anja Hilling, this article analyzes the construction of a plot using elements of the Asian theater, in this specific case the Vietnamese tradition, identifying its presence inthe structure beyond the constant references to the context of that country, starting with the title of the play itself and the trip of one of the characters to Vietnam.A partir do texto dramático Monsun, da autora alemã Anja Hilling, este artigo analisa a construção de uma trama que se utiliza de elementos do teatro asiático, neste caso específico a tradição vietnamita, identi cando a sua presença na estrutura, além das men- ções constantes ao contexto daquele país, começando pelo próprio título da peça e pela viagem de uma das personagens ao Vietnam. 
Majčino mlijeko i promicanje dojenja
No full textMajčino mlijeko jedina je hrana koja najoptimalnije može zadovoljit potrebe djeteta
kako za hranu tako i za tekućine uključujući i vodu. Dojenje ne služi samo kao izvor hrane
djetetu, ono je način života majke i djeteta koji potiče zdravi rast i razvoj te uspostavu bliske
povezanosti između djeteta i majke.
Majčino mlijeko je u potpunosti prilagođeno potrebama djeteta, ono sadrži više od 200
komponenta, među kojima su brojna antitijela koja jačaju djetetov imunosni sustav. Majčino
mlijeko ima specifičan sastav kojega se ne može napraviti umjetnim postupcima.
Danas se smatra da dojenčetu koje je zadovoljno i lijepo napreduje na tjelesnoj težini nije
potrebna nikakva druga hrana ni piće tijekom prvih 6 mjeseci života. Prehrana dojenčeta samo
majčinim mlijekom bez dodatka druge hrane naziva se isključivo dojenje.
Vrlo je važno promicati dojenje. Svo medicinsko osoblje trebalo bi se zalagati za isključivo
dojenje. Medicinska sestra treba biti potpora majci u prvim danima boravka u rodilištu. Ona će
biti ta koja će prva pokazati i pomoći majci da novorođenče stavi na prsa i da ono pravilno
prihvati dojku. Informirati će majku kakve prednosti majčino mlijeko ima za dijete, ali i kakve
prednosti dojenje ima za nju. Kod izlaska iz rodilišta medicinska sestra će upoznati majku sa
postojanjem grupa za potporu dojenja, te će je savjetovati da se pridruži jednoj od njih
The impact of the selected factors on purchasing and willingness to pay more for organic certified foods
No full textNa tržišču se pojavlja vedno večja izbira certificirane hrane z različnimi zelenimi označbami. Ta je glede na raziskave tako okolju kot zdravju bolj prijazna. Praviloma je takšna hrana dražja, zato sem v magistrskem delu preverjala, kaj potrošnika motivira za nakup in pripravljenost plačati več za prehranske izdelke z zelenimi označbami, kljub njihovi višji ceni.
Osredotočila sem se na skrb za zdravje in okoljsko ozaveščenost, saj so številne raziskave ravno ta dva dejavnika postavljale med vodilne dejavnike, ki vplivajo na potrošnikovo odločitev za nakup certificirane hrane in njihovo pripravljenost, da zanjo odštejejo več.
Ugotovitve potrjujejo pozitiven vpliv obeh dejavnikov, tako na pripravljenost na nakup kot na pripravljenost plačati več za ekološko certificirano hrano, a v manjši meri, kot so to izmerili nekateri drugi raziskovalci. Glede na rezultate naše raziskave ne moremo trditi, da sta skrb za zdravje in okoljska ozaveščenost vodilna dejavnika za motivacijo potrošnika pri nakupu in za pripravljenost plačati več za ekološko certificirano hrano, a nanju nedvomno pozitivno vplivata.An increasing number of organic foods with different green labels appear on the market. According to the researches this is more environmentally and health-friendly. Organic food is often more expensive, so in my master\u27s thesis I examined what motivates the consumers to buy it and the willingness to pay more for food products with green labels, despite higher price.
I focused on health care and environmental awareness, as many of the studies have identified these two factors as leading factors that influence the consumers\u27 decision to buy organic food and their willingness to pay more for organic food.
The findings confirm the positive impact of both factors, both on the purchasing intention and the willingness to pay more for organic certified foods, but to a lesser extent, as expected. According to the results of our research, we can not claim that health care and environmental awareness are the leading factors that motivate the consumers to buy and to pay more for organic certified foods, but they undoubtedly have a positive impact on them
Discussing Anja Štefan`s fairytales in the first year of primary school
No full textFairytales are an indispensable part in children's lives. They stimulate the development of imagination, fantasy; they help to enrich children’s vocabulary and with expressing feelings. There are different types of fairytales and it is very important that children get to know the variety of them. I firstly presented a youth author Anja Štefan and her literary works in my diploma paper. Later on I continued with the presentation of youth literature and I defined the theory of a fairytale, wrote about the origin, its meaning and classification of fairytales which I have also described in greater detail. I stated and described authorial prose work of Anja Štefan: picture book Lešniki, lešniki and classic fairytales Kotiček na koncu sveta, Melje, melje mlinček and Štiri črne mravljice, which can be defined as animal fairytales. I was interested in the receptive development of children in the period of intuitive intelligence, which I thoroughly described. In the empirical part of my diploma I wrote lesson plans for discussing and teaching three Anja Štefan’s animal fairytales in the first grade of primary school. 25 children took part in the research. I found out that pupils distinguish between real and unreal life (imaginative life), they are capable of identifying themselves with a literary person and they perceive animals as literary persons and they identify themselves with them
