Designing a new warehouse and logistics of material for the production process
No full textOptimizacija materialnega toka in razporeditev inventarja v skladiščnem prostoru sta ključnega pomena. S premišljeno ureditvijo skladišča lahko čas iskanja materiala, priprave materiala, transporta in s tem tudi izdelave izdelka bistveno skrajšamo. V zadnjih nekaj desetletjih dajemo večjo pozornost notranji logistiki materiala, s tem pa zremo k čim bolj tekočemu, varnemu in efektivnemu proizvodnemu procesu. V diplomskem delu smo izmerili čase, potrebne za opravljanje skladiščnih operacij v podjetju Raycap, d. o. o., in iskali rešitve, s katerimi bi te operacije opravljali hitreje. Ugotovili smo, da že z manjšimi spremembami, kot sta skladiščenje enega materiala na isti lokaciji in bolj efektivna uporaba viličarjev v skladišču, razbremenimo delavce in povečamo produktivnost. V iskanju bolj drastičnih sprememb smo ugotovili, da bi z menjavo visokoregalnega skladišča za avtomatizirano skladišče delovne naloge opravljali približno za 22 % hitreje. Vseeno pa je za takšno spremembo treba narediti načrt, ki bo v celoti realiziran v čim krajšem času.The optimization of material flow and the distribution of inventory in the storage area are crucial. With a well-thought-out layout of a warehouse, we can significantly reduce the durations of the search for, preparation, transportation and, with it, the production of materials. Over the past few decades, we have been paying more attention to internal logistics, and with this we aim to make the production process as fluid, safe and effective as possible. In this paper, we measured the time intervals required for the execution of warehouse operations at Raycap d.o.o. and looked for solutions which would make these operations run faster. We have found that even with minor changes, such as storing one kind of material at the same location or a more efficient use of forklifts in a warehouse, we can lighten the workload and increase productivity. While searching for more drastic solutions, we found that by replacing the high rack warehouse with the automated warehouse, we would shorten the time for completion of tasks by approximately 22 %however, for such a transition to happen effectively, it is necessary to make a plan that could be fully realized withing the shortest possible period
Roman catholic and hugenot\u27s propaganda during Wars of Religion
No full textV magistrskem delu predstavljam značilnosti propagande, ki so jo pred in med francoskimi verskimi vojnami uporabljali katoliki in protestantje (ki so kasneje ime hugenoti sprejeli za svojega). Preko analize pisnih in slikovnih virov propagandne narave obeh strani razgrinjam značilnosti njune propagande, tako podobnosti in razlike. Osredotočam se predvsem na njun prikaz druge strani, torej na najbolj vztrajne stereotipe, ki sta jih strani ustvarili druga o drugi. Opišem pa tudi, kako sta strani doživljali sami sebe, katere vrednote sta najbolj cenili. Raziskujem, kako so njuni negativni stereotipi o drugi skupnosti povezani z opravičevanjem izvajanja nasilja nad nasprotniki, naj bo to nasilje nad lastnino, simbolno nasilje ali fizično nasilje. Katoliška skupnost se je videla kakor harmonično družbo, katere kohezijo in način življenja ogrožajo protestantje. Posledično je bila katoliška propaganda usmerjena v prikaz protestantov kakor rušiteljev družbenega reda in se je predvsem usmerjala na kritiko značajev protestantov, ne njihovih verskih prepričanj. Protestantska propaganda je bila bolj usmerjena v kritiko katoliške Cerkve in njenih predstavnikov zaradi zgrešenosti vodenja Cerkve. Katolike so sicer obtoževali zverinskosti in krutosti, zaradi katoliškega preganjanja. Obe strani sta v propagandne namene izrabljali zgodovino ter vernike druge strani preko svojega jezikovnega stila dehumanizirali in satanizirali.I present in my master\u27s thesis characteristics of propaganda technics, that french roman catholics and protestants (who later adopted the name hugenots) used before and during Wars of Religion. Through analysing written and pictorial sources of the propaganda of both sides, I am describing it\u27s commonalities and differences. I am mostly focusing on how they were portraying the other side, therefore on the most common stereotypes the communities created about each other. I also outline how the sides perceived itself, which values they esteemed the most. I am depicting how their negative stereotypes about the other communitiy were used to justify violence on them, be it violence against property, symbolic violence or physical violence. Roman catholic community perceived itself as harmonius society, whose cohesion and way of life protestants are endangering. Consequently catholic propaganda showed protestant as destroyers of status quo and was mostly focused on discrediting their characthers, not their religious beliefs. Protestant\u27s propaganda was more focused on criticizing the Catholic Church and it\u27s representatives due to errors in running the Church. Because of the persecution they did also accuse catholics of being beastly and cruel. Both sides abused history for the purposes of propaganda and through their use of language dehumanized and demonised belivers of the other side
Synthesis of novel hydoxamic inhibitors of MurD
No full textInfekcije so še vedno eden izmed najpogostejših vzrokov smrti na svetu in kljub nekaterim uspešnim antibiotičnim zdravilom se zaradi večanja rezistence bakterij pojavljajo potrebe po novih zdravilih, ki bi z različnimi mehanizmi učinkovito delovale v boju proti bakterijami. Ena izmed možnih tarč za protibakterijsko delovanje so encimi iz družine Mur ligaz (MurC-MurF), ki sodelujejo v biosintezi peptidoglikana, nujnega gradnika bakterijske celične stene. V okviru magistrske naloge smo želeli pripraviti potencialne zaviralce encima MurD, ki je odgovoren za pripenjanje aminokisline D-Glu na nastajajočo peptidno verigo UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptida, prekurzorja, ki se vgradi v obstoječi peptidoglikan. Pri načrtovanju novih spojin smo izhajali iz struktur znanih zaviralcev, ki smo jih kemijsko modificirali z uvedbo hidroksamskih kislin. Sintetizirali smo tri končne spojine in jim izmerili zaviralno aktivnost na encimu MurD, izoliranem iz bakterije Escherichia coli. Za učinkovito se je izkazala spojina metil 2-(6-butoksinaftalen-2-sulfonamid)-4-(hidroksikarbamoil)benzoat (13). Poskusili smo sintetizirati tudi že znan zaviralec z vezanim kateholatnim sideroforom, ki bi izboljšal prehod skozi bakterijsko membrano, vendar žal sinteza ni uspela.Infections still represent one of the leading causes of death in the world despite some successful antibiotics available. Due to the increasing resistance of bacteria, compounds with novel mechanisms of action are urgently needed in the fight against bacteria. One of the possible targets for antibacterial activity is the enzyme family Mur ligases (MurC-MurF) that are involved in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. In the thesis, we wanted to prepare new potential inhibitors of MurD, which is an enzyme responsible for the attachment of amino acid D-Glu in the nascent peptide chain of UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide, the precursor that is incorporated into the preexisting peptidoglycan. The design of new compounds was based on the structure of known inhibitors that have been chemically modified by the introduction of hydroxamic acids. We synthesized three final compounds and measured their inhibitory activities on the MurD enzyme isolated from Escherichia coli. Compound methyl 2-(6-butoxynaphthalene-2-sulfonamide)-4-(hydroxycarbamoyl) benzoate (13) proved to be effective. We also tried to synthesize an inhibitor possessing catecholate-type siderophore to improve passage through the bacterial membrane synthesis but unfortunately the synthesis was not successful

Factors of cosmopolitanism in contemporary society
No full textWallerstein meni, da živimo v času, ko iz trenutnega svetovnega sistema (kapitalizma) prehajamo v nov svetovni red oziroma sistem ali celo več sistemov. Meni, da smo trenutno v zgodovinsko prelomnem obdobju, v obdobju prehoda v nov družbeni sistem, pravi, da smo v obdobju bifurkacije. Tako uvede nov pogled/pojem utopistike. Utopistike predstavljajo zmožnost trezne presoje obstoječih družbenih sistemov, njihovih omejitev in področij, kjer sta še možni izboljšava in človeška ustvarjalnost. Utopistike predstavljajo prostor realnim alternativnim možnostim, ki bi lahko sčasoma zamenjale propadajoči sistem kapitalizma (Wallerstein 1999). V zadnjih štirih desetletjih smo priča ponovnemu osmišljanju kozmopolitske ideje, ki je opredeljena kot vsebinsko moralna in politična doktrina, sposobna ponuditi resne usmeritve politiki. Na podlagi njihove pripadnosti idealu globalnega državljanstva kozmopoliti (svetovljani) predstavljajo transnacionalno perspektivo oziroma perspektivo vseh prebivalcev sveta, saj verjamejo, da pravice ne smejo biti omejene samo za določene skupine ljudi, temveč morajo biti to pravice vseh ljudi na svetu. V nalogi sem analiziral podatke, zbrane v okviru Evropske družboslovne raziskave. Pomemben se je izkazal subjektivni občutek finančne preskrbljenosti, ne pa objektivna raven dohodka. Ženske dosegajo višje kozmopolitske vrednosti kot moški. Mlajši posamezniki izražajo večjo podporo globalnim institucijam. Višje izobraženi dosegajo višje vrednosti pri vseh štirih dimenzijah kozmopolitizma.Wallerstein argues that we are living in a time when the current world system (i.e., capitalism) is transitioning to a new world order, system, or even multitude of systems. He believes we are currently in a pivotal moment in history – a period of transition to a new social system, which he refers to as a period of bifurcation. In this context, he introduces a new concept or notion of utopistics. Utopistics represent the capacity for a sober assessment of existing social systems, their limitations, and the areas where improvement and human creativity are still possible. They provide space for real alternatives that could, over time, replace the declining system of capitalism (Wallerstein 1999). In the past four decades, we have witnessed a reconception of the cosmopolitan idea defined as a morally and politically substantive doctrine capable of offering serious guidance for policymaking. Based on their commitment to the ideal of global citizenship, cosmopolitans represent a transnational perspective – i.e., the perspective of all global citizens – as they believe that rights should not be limited to specific groups of people, but rather apply to all people globally. In this thesis, I analyzed data collected within the framework of the European Social Survey. What proved important was the subjective feeling of financial security, and not objective income levels. Women show higher levels of cosmopolitan values than men, while young people express greater support for global institutions. Individuals with higher levels of education achieve higher scores in all four dimensions of cosmopolitanism

Five Years of Constitutional Jurisprudence in Bosnia and Herzegovina: A First Balance. EDAP 7/2004
No full textThe article reflects the experiences of the author after having served as one of the three international judges of the Constitutional Court of BiH from 1997 to 2002. Based on the relevant case-law of the Constitutional Court it gives a basic overview of the constitutional structure of BiH and analyses the position of the Court vis-à-vis other institutions established under the Dayton-Agreement and the powers of judicial review and human rights protection based on its appellate jurisdiction. Moreover means of interpretation and the elements of constitutional doctrine elaborated through case-law as well as organisational and procedural matters such as the role of dissenting opinions are discussed. In conclusion the article reflects the role of the Constitutional Court in transition from an ethnically divided and war-torn society to democracy and the effective protection of human and minority rights
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
